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. Whips up in minutes and is great on chicken, pasta, even as a flavorful salad dressing!
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.
Back in ‘the day‘ I always kept several packets of taco seasoning in my pantry for those days I used it when I was making Carnitas Tacos. Or Pulled-Pork Enchiladas. Or maybe Taco Soup. Or… well anything Tex-Mex flavored.
RancherMan & I enjoy lots of Tex-Mex food, y’all. You know, ’cause that’s how we roll in Texas!
But that was before I started on this simple life journey. I’ve since learned that it’s beyond easy to whip up these spice mixes for myself. Come see…
A while back we changed the name of our little ole blog to ‘Texas Homesteader‘. There were many reasons for this, but mainly so that when I share a recipe or gardening tip, readers know right away what elevation or planting zone I’m referring to.
But whomever previously had the blog name ‘Texas Homesteader‘ before us apparently had some rockin’ jalapeno jelly. I’m constantly getting hits for folks looking for it. But I’m sorry to say it’s not here.
Although we love, love, LOVE jalapenos in almost everything we eat, neither RancherMan nor I enjoy sweet/spicy combinations. But I do share some delicious jelly recipes on this blog.
So if you’ve come looking for Jalapeno jelly recipe – sorry I can’t help ya. But I hope you stick around for some of the most delicious jelly (with EASY recipes) you ever hoped to find!
Did you know that you can substitute some (or even ALL) of the oil in your baked goods with applesauce? The result can be fewer calories, more fiber & vitamins and at nearly zero difference to taste.
I make fresh pico de gallo in minutes using fresh garden vegetables. Fresh deliciousness such as ripe tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapenos and cilantro. Go ahead, ENJOY your veggies!
RancherMan likes to eat tuna sandwiches. He usually takes the quick route by just opening the tuna can, draining it and placing the meat on a mayonnaise-covered piece of bread. LOL.
But I don’t typically buy mayonnaise. I’ve written before about making Garlic-Flavored Mayonnaise and I do still make that flavor from time to time. But I began experimenting with various flavors, oils & fats when making my mayonnaise.
But recently when I was making a batch of mayonnaise I wondered… Hummmm…
