Postcards : Everyday Stir-Fry Recipe and More

4 Comments

First, thank you all for your kind and gracious comments on my last post! Now onto an eclectic collection of what you’ll findaround here.

Everyday Stir-Fry: Fry up whatever canned meat and veggies you have on hand. In a pint jar, combine 1 T ACV, 2 T raw honey, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder, and a generous sprinkle of hot pepper flakes in a pint jar. Mix into 2 cups of broth with 1.5 Tablespoons tapioca starch. Add to skillet and cook until sauce is thickened.

We eat this at least twice a week.

Saturday Cleaning: A reset to the week; a preparation for the Lord’s Day. Everyone participates in sweeping and scrubbing floors, hand-washing laundry, and washing all of those milk pots and jars. So grateful for this new weekly ritual and big helpers who help me catch up where I lagged behind all week.

Ferments: Spicy Everyday Carrot Sticks (in Traditionally Fermented Foods) and Curtido. Milk kefir, sourdough, and kombucha are also on the rotation.

New Bikes! Every school and chore break, every end of the day free time finds them all zooming up and down this dirt road.

Like many of you, we are expecting rain in the coming days and much cooler temperatures. So laundry will come off the line, roosters are hitting the chopping block, and those milk pots and jars will all need washing again today. And of course, math, phonics, writing, and snuggling sweet baby Hannah will make up at least half of our day.

What is happening in your neck of the woods?

The Homestead: 2.10.17

While the calendar states that we are approaching mid-February, the weather feels a great deal like spring. This reminds me very much of the first winter we had here, which was not much of a winter at all. A persistently hot summer followed in 2012 so we will see what the rest of the year brings….

A Tuesday on the Homestead

It has become apparent over the last few years that December through mid-February are our off-season months where things slow down a little, we get a bit more sleep, and the days are filled with more school books than shovels. And, like clockwork, mid-February came upon us, bringing a flurry of activity around the homestead…

Today is the last day to enter to win one of two free copies of Herbal Nurturing: a family healing and learning guide. We are at the height of fall produce – I can hardly see my kitchen table or counters for the squash, pumpkins, and cabbages as we speak. Our crisper drawer is bursting…

Menu Plan: Week 2 of NSM

Our meals certainly don’t seem meager despite not going to the grocery store. A few things I wish I had bought more of in preparation for NSM (no spend months): cheese peanut butter fruit onions more cheese more fruit I didn’t realize how much fresh fruit we ate as a family, or cheese for that…

  1. Bless you and all those busy helpful hands. It makes me tired just thinking about all you do. ? I am in a much different season of life, retiring this coming year. Thanks for sharing. ?

  2. I still have your last post open in a tab on my browser. I read through tears and even a few sobs when you first posted it. I haven’t been able to re-read it yet tho. I wanted to thank you for saying what’s in my heart. I plan to share your words with others who have struggled and are struggling with these same things.
    Thanks again.

  4. Another miracle post from the miracle family. Thank you for a peek at little Hannah. I was the one who looked at the early photos and said, ” They are not going to make it”. Yes. Well bless your hearts and bless mine too!
