Good morning everyone! It has been a wonderful few days with awesome weather to work outside. Despite the terrible things going on in the world right now, I am thoroughly enjoying my time at home. Many people are very concerned with food security right now,…
Raw Milk Kefir Good morning everyone! Today I am going to enlighten you on the awesomeness of raw milk kefir! Many people haven’t heard of kefir, and lots who have are intimidated by it. Kefir is seriously the easiest thing to make, it only takes…
Y’all. I absolutely love some Eggnog. I never knew I did until I made it myself, which is actually the case with many foods.
I started my low-carb/keto journey around the end of August 2019. I have been trying to get pregnant for about 2.5 years, and my weight had just been slowly creeping up. I finally had an awakening and got it set in my mind that I was going to get healthier, regardless if I am able to get pregnant or not. I have lost about 35 pounds so far, and I have a little more left to lose to get to my goal weight. I feel completely better than I did before.
Last week we had my husbands family over for Thanksgiving, and everyone loves eggnog, so I made a couple batches. The morning that I made it, I had a little left over that wouldn’t fit in the jar, so I used it as creamer in my coffee. Let me tell ya, that is love in a cup! It is honestly the BEST. COFFEE. EVER.
Christmas is one of my favorite times of year. Decorations, lights, family gatherings, watching my kids open presents, and all of the awesome food! Although I do have cheat days on the days we have our family gathering, I like to enjoy the flavors of the holidays all season long.
In this recipe, I used our fresh cream from our cow and eggs from our chickens but you can certainly use cream and eggs from the grocery store. You can also substitute the almond milk with any keto friendly milk you would like. Let me know if you love this recipe as much as I do!
Until next time, Ashley
Hello everyone! I am back after a long break from blogging. We have had a very eventful year that led to blogging going on the back burner. Now that we are in the colder months, things seem to slow down a lot on the farm,…
This is our first year growing a garden. There have been many trial and error events this year but it has been wonderful nonetheless. We have had many things that we found that didn’t grow well for us whether that be from out error, this…
When my husband switched to gluten-free in February due to Lyme’s disease, it was very tricky at first. I couldn’t find meals that pleased everyone and had to cook two separate meals. With the help of Pinterest and some trial and error I have a pretty good routine of recipes that I use now.
The most difficult part of gluten free Asian style cooking is that most soy sauces contain wheat, and almost all asian sauces you buy, the main ingredient is soy sauce.
Luckily, I found a gluten free soy sauce and is actually found in most grocery stores and on Amazon.
I found a few different stir fry sauce recipes and decided to compile them together.
I throw everything in a mason jar and shake it up until it is blended well.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, once boiling cut off the heat and add rice noodles to water. I like to add a teaspoon or so of salt into the water to give the noodles a better flavor. Let sit in the water 8-10 minutes or until al dente.
In a large skillet, heat oil or butter on medium high heat. Add meat ( if using) and cook most of the way through. Add veggies to pan and cook until they start to soften but still have a crunch to them.
Add your stir fry sauce to your pan and cook until it thickens up.
Add your cooked rice noodles to the pan with the meat and veggies. Toss together and enjoy!
I add a little bit of tuxedo sesame seeds for a little crunch!
Two years ago when we started the process of buying a house, I had decided I wanted to raise a few chickens for us to have our own eggs. Fast forward to April 2018, we were about 3 weeks out from finally closing on our…
We bought our dairy cow, Clarabelle, five months ago now. In some ways it feels like an eternity, but in others it feels like yesterday. We have had many challenges so far but they have all been well worth it. The difference in fresh milk…
