STILLNESS That safe place where your heart and so

STILLNESS

That safe place where your heart and soul feel His overwhelming sense of peace and calmness.

This is outside the homestead…day 9 of the #backtoprairieliving challenge

Admittedly this was a difficult theme to discuss because I’m a homebody. I love to just be at home creating and preserving.

And if I’m not at home, I’m usually at someone else’s home(stead) helping.

But I do have to remind myself that the enemy wants me distracted in busyness and so to combat that, I head outside and into the woods.

Where do you get refilled?

It’s not anything funny or punny like Doughlores or Clint Yeastwood

Owyhee for the mountain range my great grandfather used to cowboy though packing this starter with him from cabin to cabin.

What did you name your sourdough starter and why?

Sourdough is my culture

Sourdough is the means to which I create bread at home

And sourdough is my heritage, it’s my way to preserve my great grandfather’s legacy.

Happy baking!

Here’s the thing… Shopping local isn’t just

Here’s the thing…

Shopping local isn’t just about buying from small businesses but also looking to see what’s available for your resource in your area.

Welcome to day 8 of the #backtoprairieliving challenge where we’re discussing shopping local!

Here are some things to think about:
Can you hunt? Then start and butcher at home

Can you glean from a neighbors yard? Get permission and start picking

Can you barter and trade for services? Then start swapping. Work out a beneficial agreement that both parties agree upon and you’re set.

I’m NOT saying don’t shop, because I know each small business says a prayer of gratitude when they’re supported.

My challenge is can you shop right out your back door by foraging and thinking outside the box??

My next shopping trip….foraging for rose hips!

Drop a 🫶🏼 if this is right up your alley

I’ll head to the comments to share some of my favorite local businesses I support.

It’s a misconception that the pressure cooker can be used to can low acid products.

Welcome to day 7 of the #backtoprairieliving challenge where we’re talking preservation today.

Yes a pressure cooker pressurizes BUT not to the safe level you need to preserve low acid foods like meat, vegetables and broth.

A pressure cooker does not have the gauge or weight to build up pressure (and temperature) to a level you can control to appropriately can and process these low acid foods.

A pressure canner uses a weight or weighted gauge to enhance the safety of at home canning. These gauge and weight visually gives you feedback to know if you’re in a safe range to start your processing timer.

If you’d like to dive deeper into safe canning practices, I’ll meet you in the comments to answer your questions.

If you’re in the market for a USA made canner that is built to last, COMMENT: CANNER and I’ll get that link sent straight to your inbox.

How to manage the crust on a loaf of bread! Welco

How to manage the crust on a loaf of bread!

Welcome to day 6 of the #backtoprairieliving hashtag challenge

My name is Boots and today’s my favorite day because we get to talk BREAD!

If you struggle with a super crusty loaf of bread, here are my tips. My husband isn’t a crusty bread fan (meanwhile I love it!) but as the chef and baker in the house I choose to create what he enjoys:

Know your recipe! An artisan loaf will have a thicker crust! ESPECIALLY when it’s fresh (think 24 hours old). As it is stored the crust does soften especially when it’s stored in beeswax wraps

For artisan loaves (the high hydration sourdough loaves) place a baking sheet halfway through the bake. This will reflect some direct heat from the bottom of your loaves but not change the oven temperature

And if you do get a crusty crusty loaf, just make bread crumbs

Butter the tops of your loaves! This adds wonder flavor and softens the top. My favorite butters are @minerva_dairy and @rumianocheese

Proper storage is critical! Store in beeswax wraps (like the ones @farmandhive creates) or in @keeki_co bags

Have other bread questions? I’ll answer them in the comments!

I know what I’m loading up on today after yesterday’s events!

I’ll be supporting my respiratory system with some horseradish.

Welcome back to days 4&5 of the #backtoprairieliving challenge!!!

Day 4: herbs
Day 5: come with me

I was so blessed this week that a friend asked me over to come pick an extra horseradish that volunteered itself in a garden spot meant for clover.

I ended up picking just shy of 2 pounds of horseradish and bonus the leaves are medicinal.

Everything is washed and today is processing day where I’ll be preparing it ,slicing, for the freeze dry to be able to stock my pantry with horseradish powder!

Once powdered, I can add it to sour cream or mayo for an instant creamy horseradish sauce.

Have you ever harvested horseradish before??

Keep following along and sharing your thoughts on our challenge!

It can happen in the blink of an eye.

Praising the Lord for the right winds to blow this away and praying for the firefighters still on the ground.

Today was quite the day.

Redundancy is the name of the game!

Welcome to day 3 of the #backtoprairieliving challenge: pantry tour!

I have a backup to my backup creating a layer system because I’m not going to run to the store for a single ingredient and when you live on a homestead you get creative.

I keep handy my go to everyday ingredients, like: flour, oil, sugar, salt & spices.

When those are running low, I head to a larger container to refill, creating my middle layer.

Then when I need to refill my middle layer, I head to my long term storage layer. This method creates a cycle where I can rotate my food ingredients.

Layer 1• within reach
Layer 2• fill ‘er up
Layer 3• the back up plan!

Additionally, layer 4 is my OH NO! Emergency layer where I have done for me products like some meals from @thereal4patriots but these are to only be used in case of emergency

The last layer to my pantry is my herbal and wellness pantry that contains dried herbs, spices, flowers and berries so that I can create teas, tinctures, elixirs and more.

Now it’s your turn! Go and share a pantry tour of your own.
