I think almost every mom who is trying to cook more from scratch runs into this at some point: you get comfortable with a handful of meals… and then you kind of stall out. You have some great recipes, but when it comes to trying something new? It can feel mentally exhausting or just plain risky. Like if this recipe doesn’t turn out, that’s dinner and there aren’t a lot of second chances on a busy Tuesday night with hungry kids. In this episode we talk about how to expand your recipe box without stress. Not by turning your kitchen into a test kitchen or trying five new Pinterest meals a week. But by working on growing your confidence in the kitchen, learning how to tweak what you already know, and building a solid repertoire that works for your real life. If you’ve ever felt stuck cooking the same five meals on repeat, this episode is for you.

Something that doesn’t get said out loud very often is there can be loneliness in homesteading and homemaking. Not the kind of loneliness that comes from needing a night out with friends, but the kind that shows up when you’re choosing a slower, more intentional life and realize not many people around you are walking the same path. When you love the life you’re building, but still feel alone in it. Whether you live rurally or not, whether you homestead, homeschool, stay home with your kids, or just feel like you’re swimming upstream culturally, this episode is for you. I want to talk honestly about what these seasons feel like, why they’re so common, and how to stay steady in your faith and calling when the community you crave feels far away.

Let’s bring back old-fashioned winter meals, meals that are hearty and comforting, the kind of meals many of us remember from our grandparents’ tables. There’s a lot of confusion around food right now: what’s “healthy,” what to avoid, what to limit, and winter meals often get caught in the middle of that, because you what people like to eat in winter? Fat. But there’s a lot of wisdom in the way families used to eat seasonally, and that’s what I unpack in this episode.
