Snowed In on the Farm ❄️ Cozy Recipes & Winter Favorites
|
Hey Reader! This week has felt like true winter on the farm. We are still completely buried in snow and the daily temperatures have been hovering around 17 degrees. Theron and the boys have been managing everything outside, and it has definitely been tough. Frozen latches, doors and gates that will not open all the way because of deep snow, and the constant cold make even the simplest chores take twice as long. But the funny thing is, regardless of me griping on the way out, the animals are not fazed at all. They still come running, excited to see you, ready for feed time like nothing in the world is different. That part never gets old. It warms my heart, puts a smile on my face, and honestly makes all the hard parts worth it. We are down to just one kid for the weekend, and you would think the house would feel quiet, but you haven't met Maddox. He is our youngest and full of personality, so it is definitely not silent around here! Thankfully he keeps us entertained and laughing. I wanted to share a few favorites with you this week that have been on constant rotation in our kitchen and home: Sourdough Lemon Quick Bread (With Simple Lemon Glaze) Peanut Butter with Chocolate Sourdough Bread Perfect Sourdough Sandwich Bread DIY Foot Scrub With Tallow (Natural Sugar Scrub for Soft Skin) If you try any of these recipes, I would love to see them. Tag me on Instagram so I can share your creations! Hope you are staying warm wherever you are, and finding a little comfort in good food and simple routines. Until next time, Stephanie I'd love to have you follow along here: |

There is something about strawberries that simply tastes like spring. Strawberry shortcake has always been my favorite way to welcome spring! So today I’m sharing four of our favorite strawberry recipes, from...
Good morning Reader! We will be attending the maple festival this weekend in the Laurel Highlands, and you could not ask for better weather for it. Late spring temperatures have settled in around here, with a high of 74° expected! After a long stretch of cold mornings, sunshine like this feels like a gift. With the smell of maple in the air across a large part of the country right now, I thought it would be fitting to share a few breakfast recipes that pair perfectly with this time of year....
