I hope you’re all doing well, staying health and washing your hands a lot.
So what’ve you been doing while you’re at home?
Have ya been doing some cooking, trying some new recipes or experimenting with old ones? Cleaning closets, dusting corners and catching up on a “to do list”?
Or are you like our family, is your job an “essential services”? Are you working non-stop to keep us all going? Let me know in the comments what you’ve been up to the last several weeks.
Our jobs are considered “essential services”. We’re both still working full-time. I’m lucky enough to get to work from home most of the week. But my husband still has to go out every day.
We leave the house as little as possible to get what we need. But being home a lot doesn’t bother either of us. We both really enjoy having so much time at home.
But that means while I’m at home I get to experiment a lot with new things.
I have celery growing from organic celery scraps bought from the store.
Can’t wait to see how this turns out. I can tell you it’ll be a while before I know.
That’s Big Princess in the back ground enjoying her pillow.
I have sweet potato slips in the works started from organic sweet potatoes from our local organic market.
I’ve canned everything from cornbread to meatloaf to beans. All of which are new to me. I can’t promise any of it is approved by the USDA. But it all worked for me. And it was fun.
I’ve started making my own tortillas. They’re so easy and good
And I’ve got a mess of seedlings started in the house, ready to plant in the garden soon. I started a few things too early and they need to be in the ground, but the garden isn’t ready yet. Hopefully they’ll hold on for another couple weeks.
And….I dehydrated marshmallows!! I know, it sounds so easy, and it was. But who actually thinks to dehydrate marshmallows? So Good!!
Let me know what you’re doing while you’re staying at home. I’d love to know what you’ve been experimenting with.
If you are working at one of those “essential jobs”, thank you for what you’re doing. Please know you are appreciated.
Until next time ~

Learning to cook plant based and trying to clean and get dads house ready to sell. We are busy.
Been there done that, that’s a lot of work. Glad you’ve got some time to get through that job. Hopefully, it’s not something you have to rush through and can take your time.
Learning to cook differently, in my opinion, is always fun.
