All tomatoes, all the time. Feeling like I'm trapped in a loop, ala Groundhog's Day. I know the full jars are worth it, I just need to convince myself to keep pushing through. #tired #gardening #gardenfood #gardengoodness #canning #sauce #ohiogardening #GrowSomething #growveggies #growyourownfood #tomatoes #homesteadcooking #homegrown #homesteadersofinstagram #smallfarmohio #ohiohomestead #winterprep #preppingforwinter #fullpantry #thanksgrandma #ballcanning #farmlife (at Stoutsville, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZojECASk3/?igshid=yfenlmgfxury

Made a big batch of chicken stock 🐔now on to the freezer. Love how we literally had three meals from the chicken and will now have stock for days! #homemadefood #chickensoup #homesteadcooking #mealprep #sheisregal #messykitchen (at Hockinson, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5HP1-9ljHj/?igshid=f8xylowa4075

Red corn polenta "cinnamon french toast sticks." (Plus fresh berries, but I couldn't wait to take a picture after I added those. #taurusproblems) One of our missions is to help people actually EAT more of the produce that they grow in the home garden. And a big key to that is staples that can be made in big batches and then quickly transformed throughout the week. For busy homesteaders, it's hard to beat polenta. First, corn is certainly the easiest staple calorie crop for homesteaders. Once it's grown it's very easy to store and process. I can make a large batch of a creamy polenta and top or mix it with garden veg all through the season. The next day it can be polenta cakes, or grilled polenta. And now there are these cinnamon french toast sticks, made with the solidified left-over polenta, cut in to sticks, then marinated in maple, cinnamon and cream for an hour, then dredged in a little corn meal and fried up like french toast. The marinade is the sauce, and this makes the perfect palette for eating whatever fresh berries are in season in the garden. Given the choice at a fancy restaurant, I'd probably choose these over regular French toast for taste. And believe it or not, this version is probably much healthier, especially if made with a home-grown protein rich blue or red corn meal. #homesteadcooking #farmhousemeals #homegrownmeals https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz-nPGwn99b/?igshid=iaka3kmpwzxx

Tonight's project: New York deli-style dill pickles: one and a half gallons. These short, fat cucumbers (and the dill) were grown up the street from us and are the pickling variety. I'm fermenting these in a brine (no vinegar) with lots of dill, garlic, coriander seed, peppercorns, mustard seed, bay leaves and a couple of chili peppers. To keep the pickles crunchy instead of mushy, I'm packing the top of each jar with oak leaves (tannic acid) instead of artificial additives. I used to see this style when I was a kid in an Italian deli owned and run by a New Yorker family when I was a kid in Bradenton, Florida and wanted to try and make it myself. First taste test in three days. Should be ready for the fridge in six days. #pickling #pickles #realfood #oldschool #dill #homesteadcooking #fermentedfoods #fermenting #ferment #DIY #wholefood

Presenting my attempt at oven baked zucchini. Zucchinis are cheap to buy and even cheaper to grow. Everyone should start considering the rising price of food and even higher gas prices. Even if this food shortage doesn't get worse, it's always good to be prepared and learn how to grow and make delicious food for yourself. #selfsustaining #offgrid #homesteadcooking

DIY Chicken or Vegetable Stock. We started saving our meat and vegetable trimmings in a gallon freezer bag. This way, we’ll be able to supplement our store bought needs with at-home fixes. The vegetables will be composted after being used for stock, which helps us use the food we buy and grow to its fullest extent before returning it to the Earth. #homemadestock #homesteadcooking #sustainableeating #sustainableliving #backyardgardener #compost #chickensoup #notveganbutsustainable #savemoney #homerecipe #souprecipe #circleoflife we used out trusty @ziploc gallon freezer bags to keep our food protected from #freezerburn

#homesteadcooking #turkeyegg #guineaegg #chickenegg #duckegg Collected eggs this morning and making scrambled eggs on toast 😁 I was just about to scramble the last few when it occurred to me a lot of people haven't seen a farm fresh chicken egg let alone turkey, duck or guinea eggs... Colours not quite right but you can see sizes.... @snakediary Tia, thought you might get a kick out of these ☺

Fresh garden goodness! My house smells like a bakery with all the fresh zucchini bread I baked today! I may have missed one when picking and it was too big for anything else. The outcome is still delicious! #zucchinibread #freshfromtheoven #freshfromthegarden #homemade #homegrown #homesteadcooking #ohiogardening #ohiocooking #ohiohomestead #smallfarmohio #yummy #yummyfood #homesteadersofinstagram #farmtotable #onbakerroad (at Stoutsville, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC9FIH0A_QP/?igshid=udz51uypvqu2

Time consuming but totally worth it. We're making fireweed jelly tonight from all the wild fireweed we foraged in the mountains today after our family hike. #foragedfood #foraging #fireweed #homesteadcooking #jelly #homemade #fireweedjelly #realfood

Finally getting a day back in the kitchen cooking up enough to feed an army, but we are canning/freezing/preserving everything to last us for the next month. The loaves of sourdough bread are in the oven (we'll freeze two), I've searing a beef chuck roast for about 10 pounds of chili, and we've got about 4 gallons of veggie soup stock simmering on the stove along with 4 pounds of beans. Next up is milling a bunch of wheat berries into flour to make about 3-4 pounds of pasta of various shapes, then about 5 gallons of homemade marina sauce. Busy day!!! #homesteadcooking #cooking #nopreservatives #naturalfood

Spanish tortilla is classic vegetarian #farmhousecuisine for busy, hard-working folks with fresh farm produce. While I often work towards a vegan diet as often as possible, eggs and dairy in traditional dishes like this allow us to turn a large quantity of home-grown produce into super easy meals. High quality protein, carbs and fats in an easily storable form. 5 medium potatoes, 8-12 eggs, 2/3rd C of goat cheese, 1 yellow summer squash, 5-6 cauliflower florets, 4-5 large walking onion bulbs (topsets or bulbs) 1 clove of garlic finely chopped. olive oil, salt. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. First, brown thin-sliced potatoes in olive oil at high heat (just under smoking temp) until slightly browned on both sides, a few at a time. I simply remove them to one corner of the pan as they finish, and I add more. With the last round of potatoes, add the chopped alliums. As these finish, move aside, and sautee summer squash, until slightly browned on both sides. Finally, add thin-sliced cauliflower florets, and again, just slightly brown, while keeping the other ingredients from burning. In a bowl, beat eggs and crumble in goat cheese, add to pan and remove to oven for 15 minutes or until browned and eggs have "raised" through to the center. Remove from oven and let set for 1 hour before serving. Serve cold or room temperature with salad, etc. #homesteadcooking #farmhouseculture #vegetarianmeals

My wife and I just made 17 half-pints of fresh blackberry jelly! Three or four more batches and that should last us until this time next year. Russian ladies and their hot tea & jelly.... we go through a lot! #blackberry #jelly #preverves #homesteadcooking
