  • On Taco’s and Farmers Breakfast

    We are having Taco’s for dinner tonight. I’m not making them, the children are. I have recipes on this site, things I make up, and they use either that, or a printout of it to make dinner. This is the recipe link … http://pastoralfarms.us/2009/09/18/taco-ground-meat-filling/ We still make it the same way, only I have a…

  • Roast Chicken & Stuffing

  • Muffin Cake

    I was making muffins for breakfast yesterday morning and then something happened which made me hand the process off to my daughter. I was going to write the recipe down on an index card, but I got distracted by the other thing, and then my husband and I had to go to homedepot for the…

  • Penne Pasta & other dishes

    I had a box of Penne pasta I’d gotten at Costco a long time ago, never used any of it since I like the Capellini pasta with my homemade version of meat sauce often, and didn’t want to add another tomato sauce dish into the mix. (All my life I made meatballs to go with…

  • Spelt Bread (food)

    I’ve ignored my Sourdough cultures of late. I’ve taken to this process: Day 1: Put 1 1/2 cups of whole grain spelt in a bowl, and mix into that 1 cup of yoghurt. Cover with plastic well, and sit that bowl on a shelf until sometime the next day, to make bread with it. I…

  • Sourdough and Spelt, Soaking, bread (food)

    I put my original sourdough culture in the fridge the other day, as well as a small batch of some from that which I had started to add only white spelt to. They both seemed to be going along fine, so into the fridge with them was my choice. I was reading further in my…

  • New Meals inspired by Food TV (food)
