Seed Starting – Muffins w Glaze – Cheesy Potatoes

Should you be starting your seeds indoors yet? If you’ve been seeing lots of videos and ads in regards to seeds or maybe gotten some catalog’s in the mail it might have you thinking, “should I be planting seeds already?” Well I can tell you up in Michigan, not even close. I’m in zone 4B, I will not plant my garden until the 1st week in June and most plants only take 8 weeks to be ready to spread their roots. So march back 8 weeks and that’s when it’s time. If your eager to learn now I have some videos that’ll help get you started. As time gets closer I”ll have an exclusive guide as well.

These Pumpkin Applesauce Muffins with a Maple Glaze will have you be saying “MMM MMM baby”!

Need a side to add to dinner? Try these delicious from scracth Cheesy Potatoes, this version I created does not use a “cream of” soup. Plus I make them in a cast iron skillet for extra ease and yum!

Also I’m super excited to announce a new page I created called “Homesteading Items” – it was just created today and only has lists from the above recipes. This list will show a list of the items I grow/cultivate/harvest/preserve. It’s a fun way to showcase all the items that I currently grow/cultivate/harvest/preserve but also to encourage that YOU can do this as well! Once you start learning to grow more of your own food, have whole foods and ingredients on hand you’ll actually spend way less than if you were to buy package after package of everything. I even do it organically and my grocery bills/food bills are quite reasonable. I’ll keep building up this list each time I publish new items.

  • Every time I learn this, I get richer

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Money in the bank, y’all. I say this ALL the time around here. Grow garlic and save some to plant again next year? Money in the bank. Learn to save your own seeds instead of buying them again? Money in the bank. Learn to make bread, preserve the garden, grow dry…

  • My garden looks terrible. I’m leaving it.

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader My garden currently looks like I gave up sometime in August. Brown bean pods. Bolted lettuce. Droopy sunflowers. Baseball-bat zucchinis. Weeds. Chaos. It’s beautiful. Okay…maybe beautiful is a stretch. But I’m leaving it that way on purpose. And perhaps you are doing it for the same reason as me 😉 Because…

  • Get Me The Plantain! Stat!

  • I don’t trust next year’s garden.

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader I have a confession. I don’t trust next year’s garden. I trust God. I just don’t trust my vegetables to cooperate. Case in point: one year my banana peppers went absolutely gangbusters. We had peppers coming out our ears. The next year? Zip. Zero. Zilch. Gardens are fickle little things. That’s…

  • You do not need 47 bottles under your sink

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Why do we need a different bottle for every single surface in the house? One for the counter. One for the mirror. One for the bathroom. One for the furniture. One for the dishwasher. And one mystery bottle shoved all the way in the back that nobody remembers buying. Your cleaning…

  • The weather changed… bring on the soup

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader The weather is changing around here, especially at night, and boy has it been moody!
