UPDATED: Homesteading Adventures (With Recipes)

Updated January 29, 2024

More recipes added!

It's been a long time since I updated this and for that, I apologize! I will try to update more often. I started this as a way to document our homeschooling journey so my kids had a way to remember this time in their lives, but if it means anyone else gets to enjoy our adventures, it's an added bonus!

Part of what we've been doing is learning to homestead on our property. Now that spring has come and gone, and the garden is in full swing, it's been a great time to get out and learn about what we have!

For the most part, we have been enjoying Salmonberries. We've never had them before but we are loving them! I've made a couple different types of jams with them and even some scones. It's been a great practice to brush up on my canning skills before we really get into full swing with our harvest.

Another thing I wanted to do with this is keep track of all the recipes that I've found work well for us. None of these are mine, but I would love to share that ones that we can't get enough of!

I will also be continually updating this list as I come across more recipes, so keep checking back!
