Every year growing up my father and brother would leave to go hunting while I would stay home with s a local channel so she will have to suffer without an Anne marathon in Oklahoma. It was about three movies in when my husband turns to me and says “This is profoundly insightful as to why you are the way you are”. About ten minutes later he fell asleep. I am going to hope that his insight was in…
Escape was the theme of the day yesterday. My border collie escaped the yard and the bunny decided he was going to live in the house I was sitting at my mother in-law’s counter talking to her while Gus had a play date with their dog Cabela. I looked out the window only to see my wonderful border with his head under the fence. As I was opening the door to call him back to me the whole border collie…
I put off talking about my thanksgiving in order to talk about my horse. This year it was a small family gathering with my husbands family. We had an amazing time just hanging out. We played games on the wii and watched movies after dinner. My father in-law was in charge of smoking the turkey again this year. I have come up with a wonderful turkey recipe by brining the turkey for 24 hours then smoking it. Turkey Brine Soak…
I was going to write about how wonderful my thanksgiving was, which it was. I had planned to include a wonderful turkey brine recipe (we will get that up soon). Today calls for a different story. I sprained my right ankle very badly at the beginning of november. As luck would have it, it right ankle I was stuck at home and could not drive, not to mention the crutches or the giant boot I was supposed to wear. All…
Here at Cacia Farms we wish you the most wonderful thanksgiving! We hope that you are surrounded by loved ones and filled with food. I always remember my family saying “Happy Turkey Day”. We usually spent thanksgiving day at my grandparents where my mom and my grandma would be cooking all morning. I remember going into the kitchen to sneak bites of mashed potatoes and those crispy fried onions! When I was very little i always thought turkeys came from…
As a kid I have many fond memories of biscuits and gravy for breakfast. The gravy of course was sausage gravy made from venison with biscuits from scratch. I remember when my family would all go out hunting for deer season. We would bring home several deer at a time and this would be our meat for the year. Processing the venison was always a family project we did together. I enjoyed being in charge of the grinder and making…

As a dog trainer and wife of a veterinarian I always strive to find high quality treat that are not only affordable but palatable. I have been using Stewart Freeze Dried Liver treats for some time now. We got our border collie last year and he is a very picky eater. He enjoys working for liver treats and rarely gets bored with them during training. I also love how they come in many different sizes so I can use them…
My ever so wonderful border collie decided yet again that the appropriate time to wake up is in fact before the sun….even on the weekend. I decided to take this time to can some turkey chili for myself. I personally love a good bowl of chile with a fair amount (really actually a lot) of cheddar cheese in the winter. All my canning supplies are in our basement so I carted up all my jars, lids, rings, pressure canner, and…
Had a wonderful day! I went to our public market which is fairly large here. I thought to myself you should get some lettuce cheap as a treat for annabelle (one of rabbits has a wound we are treating). Also thought that I should get some fresh veggies for myself. We walked the whole market even saw some really sketchy meat and fish stalls. What do I end up leaving with … a pair of mittens yup mittens….
