Living Free in Tennessee - Nicole Sauce

Thanksgiving is only a week away and I just grabbed a turkey out of the freezer. This year, I thought it would be fun to share some experimental recipes we plan to have at the Holler Homestead. These are a little outside the norm this year because, well, I thought it would be fun to get outside the box and save the more traditional chestnut dressing and other sides for Christmas. #HollerHatWednesd...

I had a request over on the Mewe chat group to talk about what to have in your car for winter. And since this is a topic that every homesteader should have a handle on, since most of us live far from help, I thought - perfect topic. Better yet, it applies to everyone as we start seeing snowstorms and freezing temperatures. #HollerHatWednesday: Who is wearing her and why does she look so sad? Direc...

Someone asked me to elaborate on something that has always seemed simple to me: Load from the back and take from the front in your pantry.
