I'm working on using up the last of my stored onions (and potatoes) from last year's harvest, so I made a double batch of pressure canned French onion soup base from #ballcanning. My eyes were stinging for hours after I sliced 8 pounds of onions. I used a mix of the 3 storage varieties I have left - Yellow of Parma, Blush Hybrid, and Red Borolo. These were slowly caramelized, then seasoned, deglazed with white wine, and simmered in homemade beef vegetable stock. #homecanning #homegrownonions #caramelizedonions #pressurecanning #whitewine #homemadebeefstock #betterfromscratch #foodstorage #homemadesoup
Some recent cooking and baking... 1. Creamy vegetable chowder topped with bacon and cheddar. Aside from the corn, all of the produce is stored or frozen from last year's garden (garlic, onion, potatoes, carrots, celery, bell peppers). 2. Turkey meatloaf with homemade ketchup glaze, whipped potatoes, and garlic scape buttered peas. Home canned ketchup, homegrown potatoes, homemade garlic scape butter. 3. Sous vide BBQ baby back ribs with mashed potatoes and honey glazed carrots. Home canned BBQ sauce, homegrown potatoes and carrots. 4. Pressure cooked round steak bites with gravy over brown rice pilaf with homegrown onions and bell peppers. 5. Breakfast for dinner. Scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries with homegrown potatoes, and home canned ketchup. 6. Homemade whole grain egg noodles in cheddar cheese sauce with ground beef taco meat; I'll call it taco Mac. Homegrown garlic, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. 7. Whole grain banana nut muffins. 8. Whole grain sandwich loaves. 9. Harvest grains bread. 10. Honey wheat bread. #cookingathome #cookingfromscratch #madewithlove #betterfromscratch #100percentwholegrain #freshlymilledflour #homemadepasta #homemadebread #homecanning #foodstorage #homegrownproduce #seasonalproduce

I bake muffins A LOT. You can almost always find a batch or two in our fridge. The ones pictured here are the Healthy Whole Wheat Apple Muffins from @sallysbakeblog. They are a staple in our house. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or even a yummy snack, these muffins are the best. They are deliciously moist and packed with flavor, but don’t include any refined sugar. You would never know they are healthy! Also, they couldn’t be easier to make. You need to give these a try! #healthyrecipes #muffins #muffinrecipe #healthyeating #kidshealthyfood #kidshealthylunch #kidshealthysnacks #kidsfoodideas #baking #bakingfromscratch #homemademuffins #betterfromscratch #sallysbakingaddiction #sahm #sahmomlife

Homemade gnocchi! My friend introduced me to these fun potato pillows of joy. Gnocchi is made from starchy potato and flour and served as a fantastic vessel for sauces. These gnocchi are made from russet potatoes, but other potatoes can be used. This is a vegan recipe, though you can add an egg if you prefer. My favorite version is sweet potato gnocchi! Recipe for that coming later :) 1 lbsRusset potatoes 0.25 cup flour (using less flour will make a lighter gnocchi, more flour will make it chewier and a tad denser) Pinch of salt 1. Bake or boil your potatoes; we want to remove as much moisture as possible so baking is them in the oven is suggested though boiling is faster. Bake or boil until soft/fork tender. 2. Carefully remove the potato skins. Mash and spread the potatoes so they cool down faster, we want as much steam to let off as we can. Mash very well when cool; you can use a ricer or push the potatoes through a fine mesh strainer which will make it very fine and easy to work with later. 3. Working on a clean counter, silicone pastry mat or baking sheet, roll out the mashed potatoes and sprinkle four over top. A baking pan with sides, like the one I used, help reduce clean up time. 4. Mix the potato and flour together until a dough forms. The more you knead or work the dough the chewier it gets. 5. Divide dough and roll onto a floured surface. Rock the dough until a log forms. Using a bench scraper or other tool, cut the dough log into bite sized pieces and sprinkle with flour to prevent sticking. 6. Simply shape the gnocchi by gently pinching the it in the middle to create a more rectangular shape & press your finger into the middle to create a center indent. Boil until gnocchi floats and serve with favorite sauce. My favorite is sage butter and Parmesan #gnocchirecipe #gnocchi #homemadegnocchi #homemadefood #homemade #homemadepasta #potato #potatoes #homecooking #homecookedmeal #homecooked #mealprep #mealprepping #easyrecipe #recipe #healthyfood #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthyeating #balanced #balanceddiet #balancedmeals #healthiswealth #freshfood #betterfromscratch #italy #parmesan #sagebutter #viralrecipes2024 #vegan

Carrots, potatoes, and herbs (preserved in salt) from the garden. 2. Homemade whole grain spaetzle sauteed with brown butter and caramelized onions, topped with pan seared pork loin, parmesan, and parsley.

Cabbage roll soup with Italian sausage, home canned tomatoes and a variety of stored/frozen garden vegetables: cabbage, onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and garlic. 5.

Homemade pasta with homemade sauce, a yummy combination. 1. Homemade whole grain spaghetti with a creamy vodka tomato sauce and pan seared chicken breast. I used homegrown (canned) tomatoes, onions, garlic, and basil. 2. Homemade whole grain fettuccine in a creamy garlic sauce with home cured pork loin ham and baby peas; this is similar to a Roman dish called Pasta Alla Papalina. I used homegrown garlic and shallots. Our pea crop was not very successful last year, so I did not have any to preserve for winter. 3. Homemade whole grain spaghetti with beef tomato and vegetable ragu. I used homegrown tomatoes (canned), bell peppers, garlic and celery (frozen), as well as carrots and onions (cold storage). 4. Freshly made whole grain spaghetti using freshly milled whole grain durum, einkorn, and sprouted hard white wheat. #homemadepasta #homemadepastasauce #100percentwholegrain #freshlymilledflour #durumwheat #einkornflour #sproutedwheat #betterfromscratch #homegrownvegetables #seasonalproduce #homecanning #hamandpeas #pansearedchickenbreast #homecuring #beefragu
My Homemade Ricotta. Simple and delicious #susanslittlekitchen #SLK #homecooking #betterfromscratch #ricottacheese #ricotta #wholesome
Some cooking and baking from the past few weeks... 1. My dad's favorite dinner for his birthday - glazed meatloaf, roasted garlic purple potatoes, and creamy coleslaw. I used homecanned ketchup made from homegrown tomatoes as well as garden potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and shallots from cold storage. 2. My dad's favorite cake for his birthday - homemade angelfood cake topped with a chocolate strawberry glaze and fresh whipped cream. 3. Creamy ham and potato soup made with homegrown vegetables and home cured pork loin ham. The carrots, celery, onions, and parsnips were pureed into the cream base to thicken it; the potatoes I left cubed. 4. 100% whole grain homemade breads. This week I made a kamut/durum loaf with sesame seeds and two loaves of harvest grains bread. 5. Turkey meatloaf with caramelized onions and a curry tomato jam glaze, garlic roasted potatoes, and honey glazed carrots. The jam was canned with homegrown tomatoes while the onions, potatoes, and carrots are from cold storage. 6. Baked French toast casserole (much like a bread pudding) with whipped mascarpone, maple syrup, and bacon using homemade bread. 7. Chili Mac soup with 100% whole grain extruded pasta. I used homecanned tomatoes, mashed butternut squash, carrots, onions, and garlic from the garden. 8. Chili verde soup with white beans, sweet corn, and pork loin. I used homecanned green tomato and tomatillo salsa for the soup base and served it with homemade whole grain cornbread. 9. Creamy squash vegetable soup made with homegrown winter squash, cabbage, onions, and carrots. I also added apple and rosemary. Served with homemade whole grain cornbread. 10. Beef and bean enchilada pie with homemade blue corn tortillas and chipotle tomato sauce. I used homegrown onions, carrots, and garlic as well as a homecanned jar of chipotle tomato salsa. #betterfromscratch #homemadedinner #homemadelunch #bakingfromscratch #bakingathome #cookingathome #homegrownproduce #seasonalproduce #wintervegetables #dinneranddessert
Soaking raisins in my homemade vanilla extract for some cinnamon vanilla raisin sourdough for breakfasts this week ❤️.

Sourdough Soft Pretzels. Next level. Crunchier on the outside, soft and slightly tangy on the inside. Most are salted; a few with everything bagel seasoning, a few with cinnamon sugar. Another two-day process. But totally worth the effort. I made some zesty cheese dip to go along with it for the hubby, but I prefer good ‘ol NYC style with lots of salt and mustard 😁 #hotpretzels #softpretzels #weekendbaking #winterbaking #homemadepretzels #bakinglove #betterfromscratch

Trying new things with Sourdough!! These are Sourdough Buttermilk biscuits, inspired by the fact that I received 2 cartons recently that i need to find ways to use! Friends, they are fabulous. 😋 Sounds like sour on sour, and how could that work...trust me, it does. The sour is there, but not over-powering, and they are fluffy and soft, great for toasting too ;) They can in handy as the bread "cubes" for our impromptu raclette last night, too. #cheesefondue 🤤 Ps, what do you use buttermilk for? I need a few more ideas! 👇👇 . . . . #sourdough #buttermilk #biscuits #sourdoughbuscuits #bakingisfun #kitchengoodness #betterfromscratch
More homemade soups - with homemade pastas, breads, and crackers. 1. Homemade chicken noodle soup with homemade whole grain pasta, topped with homemade whole grain cheddar crackers, made with homegrown carrots, onions, garlic, and celeriac (which you can't see because they were pureed into the stock to thicken the soup). 2. Homemade creamy broccoli cheddar soup made with homegrown broccoli (from the freezer), carrots, garlic, and onions. Served with homemade whole grain sesame and durum bread. 3. Homemade pasta e fagioli soup with homemade whole grain malloreddus pasta, heirloom cranberry beans, Italian sausage, and homegrown tomatoes, carrots, onions, and garlic. 4. Homemade creamy squash soup with browned butter and cinnamon made with homegrown winter squash and onions.

Weekly bread baking from this week and last week. Two 100% whole grain honey spelt sandwich loaves for my parent's freezer - made with freshly milled spelt (an ancient variety of wheat) and hard red spring wheat flour.

Weekend dinners. 1. BBQ glazed baby back pork ribs with pan-fried fingerling potatoes and creamy coleslaw. The ribs were cooked for 18 hours at 165 degrees in the sous vide machine for a super tender and juicy result, then roasted with homemade ketchup-based bbq sauce. The potatoes are banana fingerlings from the garden which were parboiled, then pan fried and seasoned. The coleslaw used green cabbage, orange carrot, and shallot - all in storage from our garden - and a sour cream based dressing. 2. Homemade cheese manicotti with red sauce. I made 100% whole grain durum and einkorn pasta, filled with a ricotta and Italian cheese blend, then topped with homemade tomato sauce with home grown home canned tomatoes. 3. BBQ glazed pork tenderloin medallions, roasted baby potatoes, sweet corn, and cinnamon applesauce. Although the corn and apples were not homegrown, the mixed color baby potatoes were from this year's garden, and the BBQ sauce was made with home canned ketchup from home grown tomatoes. #weekenddinner #homecooking #betterfromscratch #bbqpork #sousvidecooking #homemadeketchup #homemadebbqsauce #babybackribs #porktenderloin #homemadeapplesauce #seasonalproduce #homecanning #homegrownvegetables #homegrownpotatoes #creamycoleslaw
Baking up the last sweet treat of the year, after this it’s a sugar moratorium🍪🥂🍾 #chocolatechipcookies #betterfromscratch
I never realized how delicious marshmallows could be until last year when I made them from scratch. The ingredients and process are actually quite simple. I made a batch of apple pie flavored marshmallows (using a recipe from King Arthur Baking) to share for our family Christmas gathering. I swapped the corn syrup for half agave syrup and half boiled cider, then added cinnamon, apple pie spice, vanilla extract, caramel extract, butter extract, and rum extract to achieve the apple pie flavor. #homemademarshmallows #homemadegifts #betterfromscratch #kingarthurbaking #kingarthurrecipe #vermontboiledcider #applecider #applepiespice #cinnamon #vanillaextract #caramelextract #agavesyrup #organiccanesugar

A week of winter baking (plus some pasta making) using a variety of freshly milled 100% whole grain flours. 1. Two loaves of heirloom wheat sandwich bread made with a blend of #hardredspringwheat #turkeyredwheat #redfifewheat and #yecorarojowheat. 2. The interior crumb of the whole wheat bread. 3. Whole wheat white cheddar crackers. 4. Hand-shaped high protein (I swapped some of the flour for pea protein isolate) malloreddus pasta. These can also be called gnochetti or cavatelli. Although the shaping process resembles making gnocchi, they are much smaller and the dough does not contain any potato or cheese. 5. Whole wheat chocolate chip scones with cacao nibs and banana chips. These were all headed into the freezer, so instead of a glaze or chocolate drizzle, I opted for brushing them with cream and a sprinkle of turbinado sugar. #100percentwholegrain #freshlymilledflour #betterfromscratch #bakingfromscratch #bakingathome # #madewithlove #heirloomwheat #ancientgrains #sandwichbread #butterscones #handshapedpasta #homemadecrackers #whitecheddarpowder #winterbaking

I ran out of homemade ham in the freezer, so it was time to make another batch. For the sake of efficiency, I cured a beef roast at the same time. +Pork loin picnic ham flavored with traditional spices like pepper, cloves, allspice, thyme, sage, rosemary, parsley, mustard, wine, and honey. +Cured Italian beef, like pastrami or corned beef but I swapped the flavors for italian. The entire process of wet curing, cooking, cooling, slicing, and packaging takes anywhere from 3 - 15 days depending on the cut and quantity of meat being cured; but, the majority of that time is completely hands-off simply letting the meat sit in the cure in the refrigerator. I started with about 3 pounds of beef and 5 pounds of pork which cost under $25; the cost of the curing ingredients and the vacuum sealing bags means the 28 3 ounce portions cost about $1 per serving which is 25%-30% the price of buying a pre-made high quality comparison. Not only is it cheaper, but I can control the ingredients and customize the flavors. The only real disadvantage? I'll never be able to enjoy the store bought version again. But I feel the same way about almost everything I make from scratch or grow in my garden. #betterfromscratch #homecuring #homemadeham #curedbeef #porkloin #beefsirlointiproast #cheaperandbetter #naturallypreserved #curingsalt #wetbrining

Thanksgiving couldn't have been more perfect! Kept it simple and narrowed it down to just a few dishes from scratch: turkey, yeast rolls, Mac and cheese, twice baked potatoes, cranberry sauce, and dressing! The turkey turned out so well, it was juicy, it carved like a dream, and boy I can't wait to make stock out of the bones! So simple! Just brine, stuff with aromatics, massage herbed butter or oil around and under the skin, and roast at 325 for 13-15 minutes per pound! #betterfromscratch #turkey #recipes
Thanksgiving 2023. Our plans changed with 3 days' notice, and we only had 3 additional guests, so the menu was very simple; but everything was made from scratch and tasted delicious. With the exception of the corn and the apples, all of the produce is from the garden. 1. Buttermilk brined oven roasted turkey breast with caramelized shallot white wine gravy, garlic chive parmesan mashed potatoes, maple squash casserole with crispy breadcrumbs, creamed corn, and creamy coleslaw. 2. Apple crisp with vanilla ice cream and homemade butter rum salted caramel sauce. 3. I went grocery shopping for garden produce in the cold storage unit. A variety of winter squash (Lakota, butternut, honeynut, and starry night acorn). A mix of yellow, russet, and red potatoes. Green cabbage. Carrots. Red cippolini onions. Shallots. Not pictured, fresh parsley, chives, and garlic. #Thanksgiving #thanksgivingdinner #turkeydinner #betterfromscratch #gardenproduce #winterfoodstorage #homegrownvegetables #wintersquash #squashcasserole #storagepotatoes #mashedpotatoes #cabbageslaw #creamedcorn #turkeybreast #whitewinegravy #celebratingtheharvest #applecrisp #vanillaicecream #saltedcaramel #homemadecaramelsauce

Eat at home #20. When I made my weekly trip to Kroger in order to shop the weekly sales, they had chuck roast on sale. I picked one up because it looked good and it made me want some beef stew. I added the roast to my slow cooker, chopped up 2 red potatoes and 1 onion. I added them to the pot, then threw in a handful of baby carrots and some minced garlic. I seasoned the meat with some steak seasoning and some garlic powder. I then added a pint of the mushroom stock I just canned as well as a pint of beef stock I already had in the pantry. I used a little bit of Italian Seasoning, Thyme and Marjoram. Then tossed on the slow cookers lid and programmed it for 8 hours. 8 hours was probably too long, it would have been ready to eat around 6 hours. However, I knew we wouldn’t be ready to eat at the 6 hour mark, so 8 is what I went with. About 45 minutes before it was ready I made some sweet southern cornbread to go with it. We love my cornbread recipe and I haven’t used another recipe since I tweeked a recipe I found in @screamin_banana mom’s recipe box. It is by far the best cornbread ever. Since we are moving in to the colder months, I start to want soups and stews, roasts and beans. Although I do make some of these throughout the year, I make more of them on a consistent basis during the winter. Not only are they warm and delicious, they wrap you in a bit of comfort and remind you of simpler times. I really crave the “good ole days”.

My piece for my Centerpieces class! Necronomicon Demon book from the movie “Evil Dead.” I love how it’s turning out!
