The best part of thisā€¦ is our kids will grow up knowing hard work, how to grow their own food, and you canā€™t rely on the government to take care of you.

One of the easiest things I quit buying from the storeā€¦ bread. šŸž

Once I started making it myself, I realized how incredibly simple bread can be.

Flour. Water. Yeast. Salt. Maybe a little honey or butter depending on what Iā€™m making.

Then flip over some packaged breads at the grocery store and youā€™ll find ingredient lists with added sugars, soybean oil, preservatives like calcium propionate and sorbic acid, emulsifiers like DATEM and mono- and diglycerides, dough conditioners, soy lecithin and other ingredients added to keep bread soft and shelf-stable for much longer than a homemade loaf ever would be.

Do I think eating a piece of store-bought bread is going to ruin your life? šŸ˜‚ No.

But if I can make something my family eats constantly with a handful of simple ingredients, have the house smell AMAZING, and know exactly what went into itā€¦ this is one thing Iā€™m happy to make from scratch.

And honestly? Homemade bread just tastes better.

This is becoming a big part of what Seven From Scratch is about. Not perfection. Just slowly learning which things are actually worth making ourselves.

Whatā€™s one thing youā€™ve stopped buying because homemade is just better?

Okayyyy this one is coming soon šŸŽƒ

I made a big batch of pumpkin spice granola and it turned out SO good. Crunchy, cozy, packed with oats, pumpkin seeds and chia seeds, so itā€™s naturally full of fiber and made with simple ingredients I actually recognize.

And honestly, this is exactly why I love making things from scratch. So much store-bought granola is super sweet, heavy on added sugar, and somehow has an ingredient list a mile long. This one is simple, filling, and tastes like fall without feeling like dessert for breakfast. šŸ˜‚

Plusā€¦ the house smelled ridiculous while it baked.

Iā€™m getting the recipe written out now because this one absolutely needs to be saved.

Want the recipe? Comment PUMPKIN and Iā€™ll post it next. šŸ‘‡

Making room on the farm! We took down over 10 trees to free up space in order to bring the garden closer to the house. We will be planting herbs, and smaller veggie varieties in boxes here.

Made our first batch of this weekend and Iā€™m hooked! Itā€™s gorgeous but more importantly, it will boost our immune systems for the upcoming cold and flu season. Are you going to try this recipe and make your own?!

We are trying something a little
different with our spaghetti sauce today!

We typically use a tomato sauce master from Amazon to peel the tomatoes which also takes the seeds out and leaves nothing but juice.

This time we are doing less! Cutting them with seed in and roasting them with garlic and onions, then using a Food processor blend it all together!

The tomato master is super messy and you have to clean parts so Iā€™m hopeful we will love this newer method!
