My friend Shylah makes the best concoction ever! She calls it Texas Caviar, but it isn’t sweet like some I have had and it has black beans not black eyed peas. It is PERFECT for this time of year! I am excited to make it with our garden veggies this year. It’s super simple and…
Spring on the Farm
It is quite possibly my favorite time of year to check cows! All the new baby calves on the ground, the trees are opened up and wildflowers and old homestead flowers are popping up everywhere at the farm. We are done calving for the spring and it is so cute to see all the babies…
Fishing at the Farm
This past week it rained nearly everyday. But there was one evening when the sky cleared out and the sun came out right before it set and Cam promised the kids he would take them fishing at the farm. They have been wanting to throw a line at all the new ponds for awhile to…

Mixed Berry Crisp
Last year when we found out one of our kids could no longer have gluten, egg and many other foods trying to find something they could eat and loved became a challenge. Thank goodness they could have oats. I started buying these certified gluten free oats and making Shauna Niequist’s blueberry crisp and everyone loved…
Blueberry Muffins
Last year we found out that one of our kiddos has a egg + gluten allergy. We also found out that I have hoshimoto. So, we have spent almost a year now adjusting our diet and our favorite recipes. One of them being the kids’ favorite muffins. I used to make them every week, but…
