I think its a post partum motto
Then this afternoon i was thinking i should rest more as i was feeling wiped and i go to make (my first!) cup of coffee and the mug i blindly grab…”rest like no ones judging”
Welp. There we go. Grab a cookie. Sit down with a latte. Lets just take this afternoon a little slower while the baby takes a rare not contact nap…
Go easy on yourself friend- youre doing the best you can with what you have, i know it ♥️
I love Sourdough Cinnamon Buns any time of the year, summer included!
Soft and gooey with the glaze and cinnamon filling oozing out with each bite. Are you drooling yet?
Even better, these Sourdough Cinnamon Buns are made using my Sourdough Master Recipe!
Yes. One recipe makes regular loaf bread AND cinnamon buns!
Psst… My Sourdough Master Recipe also makes French Bread and Dinner Rolls!
Now, back to Cinnamon Buns. There are so many ways to fancy up your cinnamon buns...
>>>Cocoa in with the cinnamon sugar.
>>>Raisins or nuts in with the cinnamon sugar.
>>>Coffee as the liquid in your icing.
>>>Thick cream cheese frosting.
>>>A nice vanilla drizzle overtop.
I could go on, but let’s go feed our starter instead!

If you can get your hands on some deer tallow, the waxiness of the fat makes the perfect homemade candles.
If you can’t get deer tallow though, beef tallow will work just as well for these DIY tea light candles. Lard will not work; it’s too soft.
As far as scented candles go…I added essential oils to them, and I didn’t smell it. I don’t light candles for the smell. I light them for the ambiance and light. My sister said she has dropped essential oils on top of the candle before lighting them and that works nicely…so try that out.
What's your vote- candles for ambiance and light or scented candles for the smell?

If you dont have the community around you that you want- start it
Be the instigator
Invite them to pick apples and make sauce. To butcher chickens. To make bagels while your children free range
Find a need and work together. Step up, Sweep their floor. Wash their dishes while they dry and put away. Wipe their table, change their babies diaper or do up their toddlers shoes
Go on a mushroom walk. Have a picnic in the snow on a sunny winter day. Take the kids to go fishing while drinking iced coffee and supervise from the beach together
Bring them dinner or better yet, have them for dinner! Invite them to keep you company while you milk the cow or water the garden after dinner.
The very best way to build community is to work towards a common goal together
Whether your goal is getting your children outside more, growing your own food or having people you can talk about lifes trials with, cry, wipe your eyes and in the next breath be laughing…theres people in your community who are craving the same thing. Someone just needs to be the first to put their hand up and go hey, wanna join me?
Frustrated with ice cream recipes that call for cooking a custard, or adding weird canned or packaged ingredients?
Not this one! 3 ingredients, that you can pronounce, and just a couple minutes prep!
I’ve only made this with fresh raw cream and milk, I guess I should have tested it out for you with store bought dairy, but honestly, it makes us feel gross so I just couldn’t. Based on my knowledge, I’m going to say swap the raw cream/milk mix for half heavy cream, half whole milk.
Click the pic for the recipe. You will find my recommendations for different add-ins, but honestly, I’ve yet to find a way it isn’t delicious!
Its a hot summer day- you just want some good ol' fashioned ice cream! How is it that all these recipes call for cooking a custard, or adding weird canned or packaged ingredients?! Not this
Theres MOLD! Do I need to THROW OUT this homemade cheese?!

A while back when we were having beef dip buns for a big family dinner, I covered the buns in cheese before baking and everyone just raved about them! The leftover buns into egg sandwiches the next day? Yes, they were definitely something to write home about! This is the kind of goodness I just have to share with you
Sourdough ain’t your thing? You can STILL enjoy cheese buns! Just make yourself a batch of Elaine’s Crustless Sandwich Bread, shape into rolls, and add cheese! Elaine’s recipe will make 48 rolls, so you’ll need more cheese than what’s listed in this recipe.
This recipe isn’t difficult or complicated. Just adding the cheese and spices adds a wow factor and also makes the delicious food I make also beautiful!
Is your mouth salivating yet?!!
Ready to give ‘em a try?
Take your classic sourdough buns and dress them up with some seasoning and homemade cheese.

Are you swimming in milk?
Looking for the perfect ice cream topping perhaps?
This Caramel sauce has only 3 ingredients. No weird things you can’t read! Vanilla and salt are optional at the end to smooth things out if you wish.
Uses up skimmed milk to boot! We always make it with milk skimmed for making butter, this is a win-win. I am confident it would work with store bought milk or whole milk also.

Whether you’re looking to get something on the table tonight or stash some dinners in the freezer, this is your recipe!
I started making this recipe as a freezer meal when I was pregnant with Rowan, had a lot of bear farmers sausage in my freezer and googled freezer meals with smoked sausage. I’ve since discovered I can tweak it to add frozen vegetables, different meats, different cheese and a LOT bigger batch. Cause this mama needs easy and variable to get dinner on the table every night.
Are you an adventurous cook?
Don’t be shy, throw in whatever your family loves!
This real food, no weird junk casserole is super customizable to help you fill the freezer with good meals, or just get dinner on the table every night!
Looking for a delicious marinade to bring extra flavour to dinner?
This Asian Honey Sesame Marinade is so simple. It’s easy to throw together, then all you do is let it rest.
Don’t set this recipe aside just for special meals. This marinade is great any day of the week!
Even better, place half of the marinade in a container with meat and freeze. When you are ready to use it, the flavour is ready and waiting for ya!

How to Make a Freeform Sourdough Boule Loaf Recipe Video
This beginner, no scale, no fancy tools needed, simple free form sourdough boule is a recipe a lot of people have had excellent success with from my blog, so...
There’s a bakery where I grew up, that has all sorts of seedy baked goods. To me, nostalgia is a cheese-filled twisted seedy breadstick. I just can’t help myself. Or their bread I believe they call “Hikers” bread, is what I had in mind when I was coming up with this recipe for Multigrain Sourdough Bread.
Do you enjoy a good whole wheat bread with seeds and such? I’ve found its a love/hate situation!
The eggs are optional but I highly recommend adding them. You’ll notice a different in how it holds up for a sandwich and stays softer for more days. Both desirable traits!
This recipe is so customizable for the nuts and seeds. Find what you have in the cupboard. Or better yet, find what needs using up and throw ‘em in!
You can also bake it in a boule, as instructed in my Sourdough Boule recipe! Although if you feel like the dough is a little more soft than it should be, go for the loaf pan, it's more forgiving and prevents your dough from spreading out wide as it rises and bakes.
On the blog you will find my recommendations for different rise times and methods depending on your home and weather. Happy Baking!
When an airy sourdough bread isn't going to cut it for making a good sandwich you need a hearty, seedy, whole grain twist on rustic sourdough!
My kids devour these Potato Salmon Cakes. 🙌
Now, if I served salmon fillets, they would eat a bit, but not much. They love these Salmon Cakes dipped in ketchup. What is it about ketchup?
This recipe is great to customize to your taste preferences.
>>Double the potatoes if you need to fill up hungry kiddos.
>>Use your favourite herbs.
>>Try smoked salmon.
>>Have fresh caught or home canned salmon? Use that!
The crust is amazing fried but does take time. Nights where time is tight I bake them in the oven.

What's in My Real Food Kitchen Tour - Favourite Appliances Video
Welcome to my house...I didn't tidy up at all, this is what my kitchen looks like on a Saturday afternoon, come on in...Kitchen items I love;Instantpot- http...
This is a recipe I’ve been making since I was young, a classic family recipe that as I’ve grown older, I adapted to fit our real food lifestyle.
These are generally known as “Monster Cookies,” but you could also think of them as “kitchen sink cookies” because you can truly throw in whatever ya got lying around. Pick your nut butter, pick your candy, pick your nuts.
This is also a very allergy-friendly recipe.
If you’re dairy-free, use coconut oil.
There’s no flour in this one, so as long as your oats are certified gluten-free you’re good there.
Nut allergies? Just use sunbutter and make sure your mix-ins are safe.
Most importantly, they’re just plain good!
Monster cookies are the perfect way to use up what ya got in the pantry. These are also gluten-free and honey sweetened and can be dairy-free.
Make up often makes my eyes hurt or lips burn…except 🤓
Ive used them since at least 2018?? Ive tried a few other brands that were cheaper and was disappointed 🤐

These are a family favourite, but once I started playing around with sourdough, I KNEW I needed to convert them into a sourdough recipe! I hope your family loves Sourdough Cinnamon Twists as much as we do!
These can be made with 100% white or 100% whole wheat flour (including fresh ground hard wheat).
BUT! If your family is used to white, don’t go making these all whole wheat and thinking they’ll like it. Start with just 1 cup of whole wheat and work your way up so they get accustomed to it.
The twisty part can be tricky at first. Check out my reel or YouTube video and twist yours right along with me!
Overnight Cinnamon Twists are a family favourite, but once I started playing around with sourdough, I KNEW I needed to convert them into a sourdough recipe! I hope your family loves them as much as we do!

With just a little extra effort, this butter will make for fireworks in your tastebuds. It’s sooo good on steak and potatoes.
You can roll this up all fancy in a log to have slices…orrrr, just put it in a bowl and everyone takes a smear for their steak. I like that better, because when in a log, it has to be cold, and I’d rather have it room temperature to start melting right away on my steak!
Take your steaks to the next level with Steakhouse Butter, a compound butter recipe featuring garlic, shallots, and fresh herbs. You've never had steak this good!
Homemade artisan sourdough bread made with whole grains doesn’t have to be complicated!

Jenna here 👋 from @thehobbsfarm with an excerpt on seeing beauty in the everyday from our insiders club. I live on a hill in the Alberta Prairies. Our cedar farmhouse, scattered with east facing windows along the back looks out over a beautiful little lake. A frequent spot for wildlife, where we canoe in the summer months and skate in the winter ones. Along the edge of the lake are old trees that show us the beauty of each of our seasons and a field that has grazed animals, grown wheat, alfalfa and grass over the years. My favorite part is how the lace curtains on the top floor, leak the light from the sun rising straight on to my bed in the morning. From this same spot at the back of the house, peering out of any one of the windows, I see the grey blanket of clouds when the sun doesn’t bother to shine that day. The dilapidated tree house will probably fall down before it ever gets finished. The wildlife trail of the sly fox that has taken a numerous amount of our chickens. The large diseased tree is probably going to die this year. Our septic field and how it’s raising the grass in weird ways. I wonder about that future bill. The exact same view, depending on my day, my mood, can be very different. Some days seeing the beauty in ordinary things can come easy - goodness I love those ones! Other days we won’t see beauty if it smacked us in the face with a brick. However, most of our days, we need to look for it. Work to find it. We can practice this work and get better at it and like anything, it can start to feel easier. Does seeing the beauty come easy to you? Do you have to work to find it some days? Most days?
Perfect to help out your gut or boost immunity, Fermented Garlic is delicious and extends shelf life 🙌 This is my favourite way to use up garlic near the end of its shelf life. What’s your go-to? It’s easy here are the basic steps: Step 1: Peel your garlic. This may take a while so be patient or get help, listen to an audiobook to pass the time enjoyably. Step 2: Mix up a brine separately until dissolved well, then top off the jar. Step 3: Add herbs, put on a lid, and shake to distribute. Then remove the lid and add a weight of some sort to keep things inside the liquid. Step 4: Cover with a towel and let ferment for at least 1 month, if not 2. Comment “Garlic” and I will send you the DIY instructions. #fermentedgarlic #guthealthrecipes #immunityboostingfoods #immunityboosterfood #immunityboostingrecipes
Its quite simple- how often does your family actually eat what you’re canning? How often do you want to be eating it? . Theres a few weeks a year where you will be eating it fresh, otherwise…if you want to eat canned peaches once a week- can 50 jars that are the right size for your family . Canned salmon 2 times a month? Well, 1 doz months in a year, so 2 doz jars . There is some nuance- maybe you would eat more if you had more. Maybe youre an every other year canner (yep! Canning is good more than a year…) so you can double of something this year cause it was plentiful and dont next year . And maybe you canned 50 pints of jam but come spring you realize you only ate 30…can less next season or figure out how to use more (@foodinjars has a book all about using your canned goods in unusual ways!) . You can apply this to freezing your harvest (we eat frozen veg 6-8m a year, so i figure out how much broccoli we will realistically eat in that) buying dried foods (50lb bag of rice is 50 meals for us, so at once a week we will eat in a year) and all your preservation! #canning #cannedfood #grandmawisdom #mamasaid #prepper #stockingthelarder #winteriscoming
