Its official we put our house up for sale today. It is exciting, stressful and bittersweet all at once. We are very happy to look forward to moving to our new farm that is about 50 minutes east of where we are now. I will have 22 beautiful acres to farm with my dogs, and most exciting for me move my horse home. I can’t quite express in words all the emotions running through me but the strongest is defiantly…
We have all had those days when we don’t want to cook or we aren’t feeling well. I try to cook enormous amounts of food that freezes or cans well when I can: chicken, turkey, burgers, chicken stock, chili and anything else I can preserve well.

Our family in more southern states talk about 80 degree weather and sunny skies. When I look out my window I see 2 feet of snow and gray skies. I try very hard to invision blue skies and warm day and cannot wait to see my daffodils poke their cute little heads out of the ground. Spring is only 30 days away and I cannot wait!
As I sit here making dinner for my family, I realized how blessed I truly am. I am making greens and beans soup on this cold night. I made the chicken broth from scratch and canned it. I also grew a whopping crop of kale this summer that I canned for the coming winter months. I am grateful that I have the time to do these things for my husband, not only adding love to our food but healthy nutrition…
