Here’s what this simple change wiped off my plate as a busy mom of 3👇🏼 🔸No more last-minute dinner panic. Just meals I already trust, ready in minutes. 🔸No more label anxiety. Every ingredient is one I know and trust. 🔸No more snack guilt. Homemade snacks on the shelf, ready to go when I am. Wa

Homesteading is a lot easier when you marry someone who’s not afraid to figure things out 🛠️ Chicken coop needs built? He’s on it. Fence falling down? Already fixed. Random project I found on Pinterest? Give him a weekend. If you’ve got one of these guys, you know exactly what I’m talking about

When I became a mom 6 years ago, I started really looking at our food system and what we were putting into our bodies. It didn’t take me long to realize something needed to change. I started making all our bread, condiments, meals, and snacks but quickly burnt myself out trying to do it all. I s

Hi! I’m Mel and I’m glad your here! I’m a mom who cares about ingredients but also need to fit things into real life. Here are a few things to know about me: -I make sourdough… and still love a drive-through french fry -My pantry looks chaotic, but it’s full of bulk ingredients and homemade dry

I used to be right there with you. Three kids. No plan. 5pm stress. Then I figured something out that actually worked for me. I stopped trying to meal plan every single meal. (This is stressful and actually cost us way more $$) And I started bulk baking & stocking my pantry with homemade dry mi

Comparison is truly the thief of joy. Life gets so much better when you stop caring about what others are doing and just enjoy the life you already have. The grass is rarely greener anyway♥️ #homesteadliving #selfsufficiency #intentionalliving #grassisgreenerwhereyouwaterit

Head to my bio and I’ll send you 5 of my favorite mixes to get you started! I always get asked “how do you have time to make everything at home?” And honestly… it’s all about setting yourself up for the future. One of my favorite ways to do that is by making my own brownie mix, pancake mix, “box

I wanted to prioritize homemade food & quality ingredients but as a busy mom, I didn’t not want to sacrifice the convenience. That’s when I started making and stocking dry mixes. This included everything from meals like Mac & cheese to desserts like chocolate cake. Now I have a pantry full of re

I often get comments about how “deprived” my kids are because we don’t buy them pop tarts, dino nuggets, soda, boxed pizza, etc. But here’s the thing… instead they get homemade pizza nights, juice made from real fruit, jam pastries made in our oven, and chicken tenders that came from chickens we r

Anyone else grow up on ultra processed snacks & meals just to turn around and make everything for their kids? (And no shame to our parents because food was definitely different back then) As a mom of 3, I care about the ingredients I am putting into their growing bodies. That’s why I started making

Let me give you a small dinner win this week👇🏼 I’m a homesteading mom who actually cooks most meals at home, and I wish more Mom’s knew this: 1. You aren’t failing at meal planning. Meal planning fails you when it doesn’t fit into your life. 2. Consistent home-cooked meals come from reducing dec

And no… I didn’t suddenly just have more time to cook😅 Here’s what actually changed for those 30 days: 🔅I stopped stressing at 4:30pm about dinner 🔅I cooked from scratch more, not less 🔅I went to the store fewer times (huge win in itself) 🔅I spent less money on convenience foods 🔅My kids stop

If you want from scratch recipes without all of the junk then you are in the right place. No canned soups, no boxed meals, and no added ingredients that don’t need to be there. All of my recipes are ones I trust serving my own family. Ones that nourish them and taste amazing at the same time. Wa
