Five Things I Couldn’t Live Without In Our Off-Grid Kitchen

4 Comments

I have been wanting to share our very basic, very unprofessional off-grid infrastructure with y’all for quite some time now. I am always fascinated when reading about how people do the basics of domestic life without modern conveniences. Problem is we’ve passed the three week mark on one or all being sick and, well, priorities have to be made.

Until then I’d like to share with you the top five items I have found to be necessities in our off-grid kitchen. They aren’t fancy gadgets, they aren’t anything extravagent or particularly "foodie", but their simplicity has gotten us through these past three months.

So, if you’re interested, go check out the article Five Things I Couldn’t Live Without In Our Off-Grid Kitchen. And I would love to hear your ideas for what could streamline those daily tasks in the kitchen.

Spring Garden Pasta

One of my favorite ways to use up whatever we are harvesting is simply by mixing it with a carb or protein. So potatoes, rice, pasta, beans, meat, etc. become the vehicle for all of the goodness from the garden. Right now we are harvesting lettuce, peas, fava bean greens (they taste just like peas!),…

  2. I’m not off-grid yet, but I love my cast-iron dutch oven for cooking/baking in and hope to be using it on my new woodstove soon!
