I used this recipe as a base, but increased the lemon juice to 4 tablespoons, and added a teaspoon of baking powder to puff them up a bit!

I did! It’s beautiful, though there is definitely a learning curve with fresh milled flour, since it requires more hydration.

Oh I love that mix! I shouldn’t have checked the hatch list, because I may go back tomorrow for a couple Ameraucanas myself. Most of my blue/green eggers in my original flock lay brown.

Today was buttermilk banana bread! Requested by my almost 4 year old 💕

Whoa, I never even considered doing French toast with banana bread! Was it as amazing as it looks?

I ended up with a Nutrimill Classic!

I’ll update on how it goes! I’m going to start with some basic hard white wheat, and hope I don’t become insufferable in the process!

We fill in the gaps of what we can’t/don’t specialize in with farmers markets and CSA’s because nobody can do it all. In the summer it is A LOT.

There are SO many facets of homesteading! You would have to figure out what you want to accomplish for it to be “worth it”-we have chickens for eggs, grow mostly vegetables, flowers, preserve and can what we harvest. We know where our food comes from and what’s in it, that’s worth it to us!

They are harder to photograph than you’d think!! Miss honey (the golden one) is a complete MENACE and I love her.

These are so cute! I have a speckled sussex in my flock and now I’m imagining what an adorable cookie she’d make. Extra sprinkles!

Thank you! Trying to stress bake my way through the times!

I miss Wegmans so much!! Enjoy!

That is incredible! I’ve seen freeze dried ice cream sandwiches at markets. Always good to prep some treats too! Tomatoes are my weakness every summer, there’s always a new variety I want to try! Going to do extra beans, potatoes, peas, and herbs too this year. Oh and strawberries!

This looks sooo yummy! I am a huge fan of asparagus and gruyere together and this would hit the spot. It’s beautiful!

I wanted to simplify things with a toddler in the house, so he helps me and we’re done in 10 minutes! My dehydrator is the “orange maker” because it’s mostly used for fruit, do you like your freeze dryer?

BREAD BREAD BREAD

Oh, excellent! I was wondering if a banana bread would work. I ended up trying this recipe today, it finished and looks great but needs to cool before we try a slice!

I purchased the recipe to support a sourdough creator (Lady Sourdough) but there’s lots of similar loaf recipes out there!
