Do any of you remember the Barbara Streisand movie “The Mirror Has Two Faces?” In it, as Jeff Bridges watches with affection, she methodically tackles the disparate elements on her plate, uniting them in the right proportions until she has The Perfect Bite. This is how I cook–each element on the plate can be mixedContinue reading “Weekly Meal Plan and a Weekly Recipe: Santa Fe Salad”

Garden Progress and the Weekly Meal Plan: Third Week of May
I’m sitting here in my workout clothes because I am supposed to work-out this morning. Alas, I have not worked out yet and it’s nearly 10:30am. I got caught-up doing something pretty exciting–Hull Family Homestead can now take orders via our Facebook Page! Everything will be local pick-up only, I’m afraid. I once allowed shippingContinue reading “Garden Progress and the Weekly Meal Plan: Third Week of May”
Garden Progress and The Weekly Meal Plan for the Second Week of May
Last week was a very busy week! If you recall, we did May the 4th (be with you) with a Disney at Home day visiting Hollywood Studios. Then, we celebrated Cinco de Mayo, then my birthday, and then Mother’s Day (post coming about that). It’s also been a chilly few days in Central Indiana. WeContinue reading “Garden Progress and The Weekly Meal Plan for the Second Week of May”
Garden Progress & Weekly Meal Plan: The Raised Bed Garden Reveal!
As I write this I am sitting, still in my pajamas, on our sofa overlooking the back patio. The door is open and I can hear all of the birds and wildlife. Overnight we had gentle, rolling thunderstorms that has blanketed the garden in dewy raindrops, and the sun, hidden behind the remaining clouds forContinue reading “Garden Progress & Weekly Meal Plan: The Raised Bed Garden Reveal!”
Garden Progress and the Weekly Meal Plan: April 27 – May 3rd
It’s been a rainy Sunday morning, which has created a very welcome lazy mood here at the Homestead. The kids are out hunting for morel mushrooms in the forest after a morning spent tending their Minecraft homesteads (they each have their own virtual homesteads with gardens and maker spaces and I am so tickled aboutContinue reading “Garden Progress and the Weekly Meal Plan: April 27 – May 3rd”
The Weekly Meal Plan: April 20-26 2020
It’s a cloudy day in central Indiana and it’s making us all want to be lazy and nap. While there is a to-do list (there’s always a to-do list), I’m perfectly alright with us taking some rest and relaxation time. We may get to some garden chores yet this afternoon, or we may not. TheContinue reading “The Weekly Meal Plan: April 20-26 2020”
The Weekly Meal Plan: April 13-19 2020 and Homemade Easter Treats
Happy Easter week! This past Sunday we celebrated as a little family at the Homestead, then we took a little cake and plates of food to my parents while still staying at a distance and not going inside their house. It was strange to not have a large family gathering, but I’m thankful we gotContinue reading “The Weekly Meal Plan: April 13-19 2020 and Homemade Easter Treats”
The Weekly Meal Plan: April 6 – April 12 2020
So, it’s April 9th and I’m just now getting the weekly meal plan posted. It’s been a garden-focused week, as I mentioned in my previous post. It’s also been a week where I’ve had a little more bandwidth to handle my job, which has been welcome and necessary. I’ve been catching up on things thatContinue reading “The Weekly Meal Plan: April 6 – April 12 2020”
Weekly Meal Planning: 3/28/20 through 4/3/20
As I write this it’s almost 70 degrees outside in Central Indiana and it feels glorious. It’s such a welcoming feeling–a promise of summer. It’s something I think we all need right now. This morning, as we sipped our coffee and greeted a wet, misty day, I nearly recorded all of the birdsong and woodpeckersContinue reading “Weekly Meal Planning: 3/28/20 through 4/3/20”
