This recipe I created turned out beautifully soft and delightful crepes that my children gobbled up.
They even said the resulting crepes were better than Uncle Joey’s, which is very high praise indeed.
I have been preserving our harvest for many years now, but dehydrating was one of the last skills I added to my repertoire. Even though this has been my path, there are plenty of reasons to choose dehydrating earlier in your journey.
Here on the homestead, we are bringing up a fresh batch of 25 laying hens. Between the chicks, coop, fencing, and feed, it’s a pretty hefty up-front cost in the pursuit of fantastic free-range eggs.

This passive-solar greenhouse checks so many boxes. First, it is up-cycled from an abandoned concrete eye-sore. It includes all sorts of efficient design features. And, with a proven track record, it has been in service for over a decade.
I have a few fermenting recipes that are favorites around here. My newest addition to this list are these fermented carrot sticks. They make the easiest side to grab straight from the fridge. They’re also a fantastic snack for both kids and adults.

This family pantry challenge has brought us a sense of purpose. It gave us goals, new experiences growth, and better nutrition. And it gave us an extra mortgage payment. However, I’m still excited that it’s ending.
