Cabin time and bread in a skillet
There isn't much that can compete with a trip to our off grid cabin. My hubby was home for a few days last week and we have an endless list of things that need to be done, but this weekend I just stopped

Winter will be here soon
Last winter we made a real effort at lowering our electric bill. We turned down the electric heat to a minimum and started heating our house with fire wood instead. It turned out to be a very wise decision

More sourdough bread
This is the first time I felt really good about the sourdough bread I've made. I didn't get it to rise all that much the first times, but we could still eat it. Turns out we all love putting them in the

It's all about the pork and a slicer.
I've cured bacon once before and it turned out to be the best bacon we've ever had so the last time we went to the butcher we got about 5 kilograms of pork belly. I've been curing two pieces for 9 days

Update on the wonderful wonderbag, canning and power bills!
I got myself a big cup of coffee and the fire is going in the wood stove this morning. Best time to get some time to myself, the rest of the family is still sleeping. I thought I'd do some updates while

Homemade hot dog and hamburger buns!
Yesterday I got up, had some coffee, drove the kids to school, had some more coffee and then I started to bake! I had a lot of milk that was about to expire so I did two batches of buns and pancakes/crepes.

Simple ways to use less energy and stay comfortable!
This winter we didn't just start heating our house with wood, it also gave me the idea to reduce the need for electricity and do more to stop heat loss in our house. I thought I'd share some of my greatest

Canned chicken and doing dishes!
Time for a little update on the things I'm up to! There's some progress in how we plan to set up our food storage and I'm waiting for this years seeds to arrive, but that's not all we've done this week.

I've been taking a long break from the world on internet. It's both rewarding and educational, but I tend to forget why I actually started this journey when the computer takes more time than I have. That's

Snowman and christmas wishes
I've washed some of the wool I got and started carding samples of it. It's absolutely amazing. I got two fleeces that were white so I just had to make a snowman. It's still missing a red scarf, but I think

On the road and wool!
I've been away for the day, picking up the wool I've been waiting for. And it was so worth it. I got to see the sun on the way to the farmer and his wife. Lovely but icy roads since we got warmer weather
