Postpartum & Newborn Favorites

Oh, hello there. It’s been a while. . . a long while. Sorry about that. As you may have guessed, a lot has been going on in my personal life, including welcoming this little guy into our family in September. I mean, is he not the cutest thing ever? I’m very happy to introduce you…

Roasted Cherry Tomato & Sweet Pepper Pasta

I have a confession. I use tiktok. I know, I know. I thought it was just silly trend videos for 13 year olds, too, but it turns out there are adults on tiktok as well. And some of those adults share food videos. Annnd some of those food videos go “viral.” That’s where the inspiration…

In Memoriam — Granny

My grandmother, Granny, passed away yesterday, February 10th, 2021. Today, the 11th, the world is frozen over here in west Tennessee, which seems fitting, and is a nice reminder to slow down a little bit and reflect. There is so much, and yet so little, to say about this loss. Little because it’s impossible to…

Small Changes to Make a Big Difference: Losing Waste in 2021

I am a big believer that small improvements matter. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by big, usually unachievable goals. The big picture is always intimidating, and sometimes unrealistic. I have accepted, for example, that I will never have a truly zero waste existence. Zero waste is a great thing to aspire to, but it isn’t…

My New View

Well, where to start? It’s been a while– too long. How ya doing? Has this crazy year made you stress eat all the carbs like it has me? I want to give a life update, and, more than that, I want to return to the creativity I found for myself here on this blog. I…

Take a breath.

Take a breath. I know everyone and everything feels topsy-turvy right now, and it’s okay to feel what you’re feeling. It’s okay to be concerned, to be stressed, to be fearless, to be disappointed. There are a million different ways to feel in this situation, and none of them are right or wrong. What you…

Where I’ve Been & Where I’m Going

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. Ecclesiastes 3:1 Oh, hello there. Long time so see, eh? I don’t really know how to begin this post. I tackled a similar topic with a prior blog post in early December, which hinted at what I’m going to be divulging here,…

Skip Consumerism (& Still Have a Merry Christmas)

I want to preference this by saying that I don’t think there’s anything wrong with gift-giving. In fact, gift giving is one of my top two love languages, along with acts of service! I love to give and receive gifts, and I think skipping gifts altogether by choice is a bit Scrooge-y. But one thing…

When the Dream You’re Chasing isn’t the Right Dream

I’ve had the idea for this blog post floating around in my head for a few days, but I’m not sure what to say or how to start it. I suppose I will just start from the beginning — kind of — and be as honest as I can be when I don’t know my…

Homesteading with Chronic Pain or Fatigue

I rarely talk about anything that I struggle with here on the internet. I like to share a lot of things with y’all, but I’m also a private person, and struggle of any kind feels very personal to me. I don’t even talk about it much with my friends or family. But. . .what is…

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Peach Cobbler (+ Gluten-Free Option)

I’ve shared a cobbler recipe before, and I even dubbed it “the best.” Well, I’m here to contradict myself a little. Don’t get me wrong, that prior cobbler recipe is still a winner. However, there are many ways to cobbler. You can cake-cobbler, like the previous recipe I shared, or pie crust-cobbler, or biscuit-cobbler. It…

What Your Favorite Goat Breed Says About You

Am I the only one who sometimes falls down the rabbit hole of those silly personality quizzes and games that get passed around social media? “What is your spirit animal?” “Which Image You See First Says This About Your Personality.” “What dog breed are you?” “What Your Favorite Pizza Says About You.” They’re fun little…

What You Need to Know About Ducks and Niacin

Y’all, I love ducks. They’re the funniest poultry species. They’re also wonderful homestead animals. Duck meat is delicious, their fat can be rendered for cooking oil, and they lay eggs, too. Some people also use ducks to devour pests in their gardens. But my luck with ducks has been pretty sub-par. My first ducks flew…

Hi there.

My name is Rachel. I’m a country girl at heart with a passion for sustainable living and good food. I’m currently transplanted in the city and counting down the days until I can move back to the homestead.

Life takes us in a thousand different directions, many of which are unexpected. This blog has been with me for longer than I can remember, and as I have changed, it’s changed, too. Thanks for following along where my life leads me.

On the Homestead

When the grass disappears, the new growth is seen, and the herbs of the mountains are gathered in, the lambs will be for your clothing, and the goats will bring the price of a field, and there will be goats' milk enough for your food, for the food of your household, and sustenance for your maidens. - Proverbs 27:25-27
