Farmhouse Cooking - quick,
Practical & Healthy recipes

Healthy recipes on the homestead are always important. But I feel like farmhouse cooking needs to go farther than that. The farmhouse cook needs a well rounded method to accomplish the demands of a homestead kitchen.

To me, homestead cooking needs to be

• nourishing - not just healthy (meaning contain good nutrients, not just avoiding the bad) 
• able to fit in a busy schedule 
• ready & able to use what's in season
• ready to preserve garden produce so nothing goes to waste
• very, very tasty 😋

There are so many benefits to doing some from scratch cooking, with healthy recipes right in our own kitchen. One is that we have control of what goes into the food that we're preparing.

As homesteaders we can take this to the next level and make sure that we are growing the most nutrient dense vegetables. And the most nutrient dense eggs and meat. Thereby providing the best to our families. 

have fun with it

Just cause we are aiming for high goals doesn't mean we can't have fun with the process. 

I have had lots of fun in the kitchen making up healthy recipes. Of course that means some trial and error… but sometimes that's the way we really come up with a winner! :) 

If you are new to cooking healthy recipes, don't get overwhelmed. Just take it one step at a time. Start learning to make some recipes, just one at a time. Keep on learning and before you know it it will be one of your habits.

This isn't for everyone, but I love to mess around with recipes.

I sometimes will look at a recipe only use use the ingredient list as a guideline that I end up tweaking. Sometimes this is because of an allergy or we simply don't have the ingredient called for (and it's not worth a 45 minutes round trip to the grocery store).

Other times I have an idea of how I can make the recipe better. 

Sometimes the specifics in recipes (ingredients, or procedures) aren't as important as you think. Trial and error will show you which ingredients, or steps are okay to skip and which are really important. 

But if you aren't up for it, no worries! There are lots of amazing recipes with step by step instructions, and I always do my best to give you as many details as I can, so you'll be good...don't worry. ; )
