Cooking Meals from Scratch

I’ll admit we are very lucky that we raise the majority of our food so it makes it much easier to cook from scratch because it doesn’t come off the farm in a package with microwaveable directions. Luckily. If your not as lucky as me don’t worry cooking meals from scratch is still easy as long as you buy the whole ingredients. And what I mean by whole is not in a package that’s been dehydrated, or mixed, or gives directions really.

So whole chickens, ground meat (not in prepacked patties), whole vegetables (not frozen, canned), etc.

Below you will find (way to many photos) (unedited) of some home cooked meals straight off the homestead hopefully to inspire you. Plus clickable images that’ll direct you to my recipes- I would love to  hear what one’s you’d like to try!! 

 

Here’s a video of my holiday baking but honestly it’s like this nearly every day, maybe not so many things at once but you get the point.
