(Disclaimer: I do not eat Vegan, Vegetarian, Paleo, or Low-Carb. I don’t focus on Raw foods & I’m not a once-a-day Smoothie girl. I focus on quality ingredients, REAL FOOD (including butter, bread, & bacon), and desserts that rock. Some of the recipes I link to may fall in any of the above categories and that’s okay. I believe in a balance … [Read more...]

Take a Peek inside my Real Food FRIDGE!
Not gonna lie, I'm a bit nervous showing ya'll the actual insides of my fridge! Naturally, I scrubbed it top to bottom, removed the mysterious sticky drippings from the bottom & hand washed each shelf. There's other things I found at the bottom of my fridge, but it's so disgusting I can't bring myself to tell you. It was gross, ya'll. Nothin' … [Read more...]
Getting Started with a Real Food Diet
Recently, I had a reader ask if I could write a guide on how to get started with real food. Geez louise, why didn't I think of that?

When life hands you pumpkins…
All I wanted was a cucumber. You know, one of those really delicious, fresh, crunchy cucumbers. Am I going crazy? Cucumbers are supposed to be green, right? I'm preeetty sure this is a pumpkin. But see, we didn't plant pumpkin seeds. We didn't even buy pumpkins seeds. Nevertheless, pumpkins are what we have. Naturally, I called the organic seed … [Read more...]
How to raise Grass-fed Lamb like a boss.
I never EVER thought, in the history of the world, that I would become a PRO at raising grass-fed lamb. But alas, here I am. Like I've said before, once I got the farming-itch (not to be confused with a gross kind of itch) I couldn't stop. I'm rapidly turning into the weird goat lady. Never heard of it? It's like the new cat lady. Except … [Read more...]
The Kind Diet: Is eating VEGAN the only way to be truly kind?
People often ask me why I chose farming. For some reason they take a look at this small frame of mine and can't imagine this chick has the guts to work on a farm.

How to make Homemade Soap
Homemade Soap is quite literally one of the easiest things to make. ONE BATCH lasts our family of four an entire year. Now, that is just plain awesome! We love to use our goat's milk when we make soap. Why use goat's milk? Goat's milk contains Vitamin A, which helps repair damaged skin and control acne. The high … [Read more...]
