A good banana bread recipe is a staple for every recipe book. It’s delicious for breakfast or for a snack and it is the perfect way to use up bananas that are too ripe. Hey, it’s the perfect way to be resourceful! Usually, when we have bananas, there’s only one or two we can’t eat before they go bad and I don’t always have time when they are ripe to make banana bread.

Inlay Flagstone Path
In the spring and fall when we get heavy rainfall our lawn would turn into a muddy mess. We decided to make this pathway to keep a route that will minimize foot traffic on the lawn and keep in mud free! This method only took us a day to do and was pretty easy. First thing we did was dig up the grass to where our path would go. In the dug up path area, you must lay sand before you lay down the rocks. This makes a soft moldable place where the rocks can sit flush. If you skip this step and place it on the dirt, there will…

I have always admired anyone who could label themselves as zero waste. Unfortunately, I find it is just not possible. Instead of striving to be completely zero waste, and then finding out it is way to hard and going back to old ways of waste, I figure it is best to make better choices and do my best in a more achievable way. First of all, I want to say we do try our hardest. We donate or recycle everything possible at our local recycle center. when you live on a farm, something will break beyond repair. A tire will go flat that can’t be fixed – no recycling options…

Potato Water – What it is and Why You Should Be Using It
This comes from a trick my grandmother always uses. Whenever she boils potatoes, she would always pour the water into a mason jar and put it in the fridge for later use. My grandmother comes from a time with little money and poor access to resources. So if there was something that she could use twice or as many times as possible, she would! The best way to get the best nutrition and health benefits from potatoes is to eat them whole (skin) and cooked in their natural state, such as baked. Sometimes this isn’t an option because you need to boil potatoes for mashed potatoes and other delicious types. But…

Pair the tray with your book, wine, and a candle and you set yourself up for a perfect evening! Below is the quick and easy directions on how to…
