Homesteading equals dinner!

Today was one of those mornings that you think of when dreaming of homesteading.  It was a nice day. We have enough food for animals and they are all healthy and happy. We have a garden giving us wonderful things to feast upon.

The evening before was threatening but nothing came of it. 

Getting in some time with Skippy. We have someone who is interested in buying him. He is a very good boy, even if he is stinky.

I dehydrated peppers, four trays are drying.

I went to the greenhouse to pick spinach, basil and tomatoes and set to work in the kitchen. 

I made gypsy soup full of garden goodness.

Basil from the garden.

Onions, peppers, spinach, tomatoes, garbanzos, carrots, chicken broth, basil, oregano, salt and pepper.

And I have lunch to bring to work.

Next up was Pita Homestead Sandwiches -stuff from the garden... cabbage (traded for a spaghetti squash), tomatoes, carrots, onions, sausage (from a local pig) and peppers. Salt and pepper it up!

Stuff a pita! Top with cheese and Tabasco.

Tomorrow we'll talk more about winter prepping and what we found works great for us. 

Peace, health and happiness.
