Living the homesteading lifestyle

This is a homemade alfredo made with pesto from our garlic scapes this spring that was saved in the freezer, topped with a delicious veggie burger from Luna Burger, a Columbus company.

And the dryer broke, so we are now having to hang all of our clothes in the living room where the wood burning stove is to get everything dry.

Ultimately it just looks like a tornado went through and spewed clothes everywhere, but you gotta do what you gotta do I guess.  We're just living the gypsy lifestyle.
This is my first batch of homemade granola and it was amazing.  I even dehydrated some blueberries we got from the farmer's market to put on top.  Mix that in with some Greek yogurt and you've got yourself a nice healthy snack... much better for you then processed cereals.

This is chicken we got from an Amish farmer which we made unhealthy by frying, but who can resist fried chicken every once in a while?  And with it, is cream of sweet potato soup... yum!

Overall, we're really loving winter.  Although we live on a busy road, so we never technically get snowed in, we can always pretend like we are, snuggled up next to the wood burning stove.  And between all the canning we do, our milk that gets delivered to us, and the stuff in the freezer, we really only need to go to the grocery store for things like toilet paper and other things we can't make ourselves. It's a good life we lead!
