Creating a Homegrown and Homemade Life
Happy New Year! Have you set some homestead goals for the new year? The world is divided into two types of people, those that set goals and those that don’t. I am the first type. I live for goals and lists. If you are looking for some homestead goal inspiration or how to set some achievable homestead goals this year, then you’ve come to the right place! Check out my homestead goals and how I create them.
Is the winter cold taking a toll on your hands? Cracked knuckles and scaly skin are one of the many joys of winter. Traditional lotions and creams can cause your skin to dry out even more. That causes you to use more and in turn buy more. Smart marketing strategy, but not so great for my poor hands. Give these DIY lotion bars a try. They leave your skin feeling smooth and hydrated. I’ve included recipes for both men and women.
Looking for an easy homemade peanut brittle recipe? This is the go to recipe in my family! It comes out perfect every time. The peanuts are cooked perfectly and the brittle is buttery. This easy homemade peanut brittle makes a delicious treat or gift. Though if you give some away, you may need two batches. One for you and one for them.
Does your family struggle to eat leftovers? I know we do. I am not fond of leftovers, but I do enjoy not cooking every night. So instead of wasting all of the leftovers, I freeze them. Sometimes I’ll make extra for the whole purpose of freezing them. I call them planovers. It’s leftovers that I planned. Check out this ultimate guide to freezing leftovers!
Are you looking for an old fashioned Christmas tradition? Maybe just a pretty decoration for your tight budget? These beautiful dried orange ornaments fit both bills. They look and smell beautiful. Plus they can be used for more than just decorating the tree. I’ve got them spread throughout my house this Christmas. You definitely must give these a try this Christmas.
