Homestead Farmily Photos


I gathered together a few pictures that hadn't made it to the blog yet. So, kick back and get ready for some farmily cuteness :) 

The duckies.... They are awesome pets but equally mixed with monster (during mating season, look out!) haha.

Our chicas as not so pretty teenagers, those feather are fully in now. 



This beauty isn't with us any longer but he is so photogenic I had to add him... Our late Mr hank long feather.


This is the very first photo of me on our homestead:) it's been a year since we started this whirlwind journey. I can't believe we have achieved so much and have even been living the homestead dream for over a couple months. ... Try to overlook the Mountain Dew, I've finally kicked the filthy habit...mostly. 

This is Red; she was my best friend but I believe the rooster, Mr. Red, has taken my place. 


My boys:)


Some of our homestead pathways. In 2015, haha like it is way in the future, we will be making the pathways more "official" with some surface.. Rock, stones, pea gravel who knows. 



The delivery of our duck coop... oh what a memorable truck ride :) 


I was busting those blocks up while he was laying there; so trusting.


My princess, Bella.

Ranger, my new best friend. I replaced Red only after she replaced me :( 


Happy New Year !!!
Please remember to keep it safe folks. YOLO also means there isn't a redo button so no drinking and driving. Green, clean, classy.

Christmas Treats


Bad photos of some super tasty Christmas treats. 
First up some cupcakes that were baked in our new toaster oven:) 

This lame attempt at a gingerbread house kept us busy while the weather had us inside, the end result wouldn't win any beauty contest but it sure was finger licking fun to make.

Christmas Brunch Recipe



Merry Christmas! Hope y'all had a blessed day with your families. We kicked off the birth of Christ celebration with an easy breakfast casserole...made so cute with a gingerbread man pan. 


Recipe - give or take
7 farm fresh eggs
1 1/2 cup stuffing mix
1 teaspoon cinnamon 
2 tablespoon organic honey
Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper
Goat cheese crumble for topping 

In the gingerbread pan I added first the eggs. I used 6 egg whites and 1 full egg, with yolk. To that I added the cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Then, give that a quick mix. Break the yolk, but don't fully mix it in. Add the breadcrumbs. Pour the honey over the breadcrumbs then toss that all together so the bread gets coated with the mixture. 
Cook times may vary
We are rolling with tiny house kitchen so we have a toaster oven. I used 450 degrees on bake for 15 minutes and it was perfect. This dish is fragrant so when it's smell starts to tickle your nose, it's ready.  To take your taste buds to the next level, top with goat cheese crumble and a drizzle of organic honey. 


No actual gingerbread men were injuried in the making of this post. Photo blood is actually Frank's Red Hot :)
