Would you try smoking a brisket without a conventional smoker? The first brisket we ever made turned out mouthwatering using our little set up 🤗 #smoker #bbq #bbqsmoker #bbqlovers #diysmokers #homesteading #explorepage #yummyfood #cookingfromscratch #canningandpreserving #brisket #campfirecooking #campfirefood #campfire #backyardcooking #homestead #homesteadlife #homesteaders

When you control your food supply you control your health. Scratch cooking requires no preservatives even if you’re prepping your food for long term storage. So why do companies have to add so many preservatives and additives? #canning #canningandpreserving #tomatosauce #gardening #healthyfood #cookingfromscratch #homesteading #explorepage

10/10 would recommend planting green beans next season I know veggies taste way better when you grow them yourself but I wasn’t expecting them to taste this good 🤯 It has become a staple for all of my future gardens I started my garden later than I hoped but its finally starting to pay off!:) #harvesting #gardenharvest #freshveggies #homegrown #homegrownfood #yummyfood #garden #gardenlove #explorepage #explore

Recipe down below👇 Recently I’ve noticed that making dough and bread is not that hard and doesn’t have to take forever. Freezer friendly pizza dough: 3 Cups warm milk 2 Tbsp Honey 1.5 Tbsp yeast Mix and let sit for 5 min until yeast starts to foam 4 Tbsp fat (I used bacon fat) 7-8 Cups flour 2 tsp salt Combine ingredients thoroughly. Start to kneed on the counter when you can no longer with a spoon. Kneed for about 5 min (until dough feels elastic) Transfer dough back to bowl, cover with damp towel for 1 hour to rise. Punch down dough, divide and shape as desired. For freezer storage: Lightly oil dough and place in a freezer bag and place in freezer. Thaw fully and shape into pizza shape and size you’d like. Add pizza ingredients and bake @ 375*F until edges are crispy/browned. For immediate use: Shape into pizza shape and size you’d like. Add pizza ingredients and bake @ 375*F until edges are crispy/browned. #homemadepizza #homemadedough #homemadewithlove #homemadebread #homemadefoods #pizza #rawingredients #cookingfromscratch #homesteading #makingitwork4u #pizzadough #pizzadoughrecipe #pizzadoughfromscratch #pizzadoughhomemade

Its crazy for far a whole chicken can go for food. The meat itself for the main meal then the bones and vegetable scraps to make some bone broth. We have just recently moved into our first apartment so we will get back to posting more soon!
