This simple, moist and zesty jalapeno cornbread recipe is on tight rotation in my Homestead kitchen. It’s lightly sweet and bakes up fast in a cast-iron skillet. You can leave out the jalapenos if you don’t like spicy food and it’s still delicious.

I’ve made our mayonnaise from scratch for years. An egg, some oil, lemon juice and salt is all it takes.
But RancherMan also sometimes asks me to flavor it with garlic for even more flavor. There’s so much flexibility when you’re making it yourself.

While traditional BBQ sandwiches often use pulled pork or beef brisket, I also like to make them using ground meat. They’re so much easier to eat that way. Here’s how I make them using just the power of the sun: My solar oven.

This homemade pancake syrup recipe uses only a few standard pantry ingredients.
And it’s so easy that you only mix it up, boil for 7 minutes and BOOM! Homemade pancake syrup. Wanna know how??

I try to eat or preserve every single vegetable that comes from our garden. I love to over plant tomatoes so we have plenty for eating fresh & also for preserving for later. But when you’ve eaten all you can fresh what do you do?
I’m not sure about you but around our house we make BLENDER SALSA!
Although RancherMan doesn’t care to eat many tomatoes sliced raw (I know, I don’t understand it either) we both love salsa – the spicier the better. Y’all are NOT gonna believe how easy this is.

Last fall I was blessed with several large boxes of apples from my aunt’s apple tree. I wanted to make sure they didn’t go to waste.
So I canned apples in syrup, applesauce, apple butter and apple cider, dehydrated apples and made and canned apple pie filling.
Now I get to enjoy the fruits of my labor (oh my, I said ‘Fruits” of my labor. See what I did there??)
My favorite thing to make with these preserved apples is apple crumble dessert using the apple slices in light syrup. It’s delicious and comes together quickly for a delicious dessert when company surprises you with a visit.
Bada-boom, bada-bing and dessert is being served! Looks and tastes like you toiled away in the kitchen for hours. (shhhh…)

It’s nice to make homemade ravioli for supper. I typically make a quick ribbon of homemade pasta, and then turn those beautiful ribbons of pasta into delicious homemade ravioli for supper.

I like to make a healthier ‘ice cream’ substitute using frozen bananas, instant no-cook pudding, a little milk and a splash of vanilla.
No, REALLY! You’re not gonna believe how easy this is…
