Making non-GMO Corn Tortillas and a Sweet Potato and Black Bean Hash

Now that I’ve shown you the summer kitchen, let me confess: I haven’t exactly been cooking up a storm. I do cook 2-3 meals per day but somehow when I don’t have my appetite I end up in a rut that goes something like tacos, hash (of whatever we have on hand), stir-fry, salad, repeat.

For the tastiest tacos ever you can see how I am…

Southwestern Sweet Potato and Black Bean Hash

Both are favorites around here and work well in the summer kitchen on these hot days. Now we just have to wait a bit longer to see if our garden yields any of the heirloom corn or sweet potatoes we planted earlier this summer.

Storing Lard Without Canning or Freezing

February Carrot Salad

The other night I was staring at what grocery store produce we had left and it wasn’t much. Since we moved off-grid and ditched the big ‘ol refrigerator, keeping enough produce on hand has been an ongoing challenge. We were spoiled before, you see, with big refrigerators and local weekly farmers markets and CSAs and…

Peanut Butter-Banana Rice Pudding

Boy howdy do I need to figure out how to grow peanuts here in our clay soil. Peanut butter has got to be one of my favorite foods of all time, but you wouldn’t know it unless you saw me drizzle it over pancakes, or spread it on bread/apples/bananas/paper and eat it like it was…

Menu Plan – mostly grain free

With it being busy garden/preserving season I have fallen behind on planning and preparing meals. This has meant more grains the past week or so, at least for the boys. They don’t mind, so I will keep soaked oats and millet on the menu at least for their breakfasts. For some reason my husband doesn’t…

Making Juice With a Blender

I almost never know how to write titles for a post like this. Yeah, I could look like a super-professional, knowledgeable blogger and kitchen-dweller with a title like "How to Make Juice With Your Blender," but the words "how to" seem to imply some sort of long-term experience. The truth is last week I wanted…

This is amazing! I sort of combined the two and used the hash as a filling in the corn tortillas! Really yummy!
