💛 Low-Carb Egg Bites Recipe, Christmas Gifts to Start Now... and more!
NEW: Easy Egg Bites Master RecipeWith all the homestead work to do during the summer, I like to make sure we have an easy and filling breakfast on hand. These egg-bites are also the perfect, make-ahead recipe to use our extra eggs! You can customize them to your family's favorite mix-ins, and then freeze them for later! Christmas Gifts to Start NOW!I know, I know! It's still way too early to think about Christmas, right? Well, not if you want to give some handmade gifts this year. All these gifts shown above are handmade for our family members, and that takes some time! So here are some of my favorite homemade Christmas gifts to start now! Shelf-Stable Eggs (1 year later!)With 34 hens, we have fresh eggs by the daily dozen. Here is centuries-old method we use to keep them fresh for over a year! Plus, watch my video review of the eggs after they have been on the shelf (at room temperature) for a YEAR! 65+ Ways to Use Zucchini!If you're growing zucchini (or have a friend/family member growing it), you probably have zucchini coming out of your ears! Here are some of our favorite ways to use up all that zucchini! Double Crust Peach CobblerIs there anything better in the summer than a warm peach cobbler with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top? This recipe is a family favorite and my mother-in-law's birthday request every spring! It comes together quickly and is a classic Southern dessert! Canning Peaches in Light SyrupIt's peach season here! And while we make all the cobblers, crumbles, and jams that we can, we often can peach halves in light syrup to enjoy later. This recipe can be adjusted to the level and type of sugar that you want to use. We often use maple syrup instead! Thanks for Reading! Hopefully you enjoyed this edition of the A Modern Homestead newsletter and found something useful in your pursuit of living more traditionally! We will be back with another newsletter soon, so stay tuned! ~ Jason and Victoria |
