Fresh Garlic Herb Sauce is a blend of fresh herbs, garlic and a splash of olive oil & vinegar. It’s a delightful way to enjoy the light taste of summer.
Plus it whips up in minutes and is great on chicken, pasta, even as a flavorful salad dressing!

Recently I cooked some great northern beans. They were delicious & we enjoyed them as a side dish for that evening’s meal. I served them later in the week as a quick side dish also.
But then I wondered… Is there a more exciting way to serve these beans that will have RancherMan smacking his lips?
Well yes, yes there is! Check out this Homestead Hack!

I often replace some of (or sometimes ALL of) the whole-wheat flour in my bread recipes with oat flour. But I don’t BUY oat flour, I make it myself.
Oat flour contains the healthy properties of whole oats. And by making it myself it’s cheap too. Don’t worry, it’s not hard nor does it require high-dollar equipment. I use bulk oats and a coffee grinder, y’all.
You’re not gonna believe how easy this is.

Whelp, we made it to July, y’all! Now in NE Texas the rain taps will typically turn off about now and will stay off for the rest of the summer. So although we may get a little ole 1/4″ inch or so every now & then, we can count on manually irrigating the garden from our Rainwater Catchment Systems from here on out.
Let’s stroll through the garden and see how it’s doing, shall we?

I like to serve healthier beverages. It’s important to drink water, but sometimes it get cat boring. What about a minty drink that’s sugar free. Is there any such thing?
Recently I was looking at my mint bed which is doing VERY well #thankyouverymuch. A little too well actually. It’s spreading in places I’d rather it not grow.
But while I was thinning the rambling mint runners, it smelled so dang good. I wondered if I could use it for a refreshingly-cold minty drink?

You’re baking cupcakes or muffins, still have batter & need more muffin cup spaces.
No worries! I used canning rings and paper or silicone cupcake liners to expand the capacity of my muffin tin. That way I could bake all the batter into muffins at one time. What a helpful Homestead Hack.
