by Texas Homesteader ~ It took me a long time to jump into the Instant Pot scene. I mean, I already had slow cookers, and I had a high-end stainless steel stove-top pressure cooker too. Why would I spend more money to buy something else I had to store? Wanna know what the breaking point […]
~Texas Homesteader~ *contains affiliate link RancherMan & I love tamales. As a matter of fact, tamales are RancherMan’s favorite Tex-Mex food. And heck with his mad hunting skills, we always have pork in the freezer from the Wild Hogs that cause so much damage to our property. It’s pretty common for me to cook up […]
by Texas Homesteader ~ I love cheesecake, y’all. I mean really, really love cheesecake. But I’ve always been intimidated to try to make it myself. I mean – water bath in the oven? The top cracking if you didn’t cook it just right? The 2-part pan leaking in the water? It just sounded so… finicky. […]
by Texas Homesteader ~ *Contains affiliate link I’ve made yogurt for years, neigh decades. It was the very first self-sufficient step I ever took. Back then looking at those non-recyclable (in my area) plastic yogurt tubs that I was forced to throw away, I just figured there had to be a better way. And there […]

I guess it’s been hard for me to justify the cost of buying a different thing when I have something that works for me. But I’ve finally made the plunge! Recently we […]
by Texas Homesteader ~ We were given a package of instant potato flakes but I don’t cook with instant potatoes since we both much prefer the taste of real mashed potatoes to instant. But y’all know how I hate to waste food, so I set out looking for ways to use them up. Thickening for […]
RancherMan’s quite the accomplished hunter. As such, we always have a freezer stocked full of pork roasts and I enjoy finding different ways to cook them. I often use my slow cooker to prepare those roasts. Most of the time I’ll flavor it very generically so I can remake the leftover cooked meat into whatever […]
by Texas Homesteader ~ Sweet potatoes often go on sale and are cheap cheap, CHEAP. But these unassuming veggies are a real power house of nutrition too. Did you know you can use them to even add vitamins and fiber to a delicious healthier sweet treat?? Recently we had a guest author share her experiences […]
by Texas Homesteader ~ My mornings usually involve coffee and computer work when I first awake. Yeah, I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But I’m one of those people who really needs to wake up a bit before I can even THINK about eating something. Most warmer months I like […]
by Texas Homesteader ~ The weather is very raw today – blustery, damp & cold. So I’ve got on my thinkin’ cap making plans for a bone-warming supper for RancherMan & me. What’s my motto, y’all? That’s right, “Use What Cha Got!” So I’m pulling out the ingredients I have available to work with, including […]
