Kitchen Skills

Kitchen skills are essential to any homestead kitchen.

Growing up…. I did not cook. Not at all. Not only did I not cook, I basically ate nothing but chicken nuggets and plain noodles. My mom cooked every day, so I am not really sure where the disconnect was. But… I learned! And trust me—I made all the mistakes along the way so you don’t have to.

The homestead kitchen is the heart of it all. It’s where real skills grow, and where you can start creating rhythms that support your whole home.

Inside this category, you’ll find:

  • Meal planning to save money at the grocery store
  • Preserving and canning my own food
  • Starting my very own sourdough starter
  • Cooking simple, delicious recipes and drinks from scratch

Let’s build your kitchen confidence—one no-fuss, nourishing meal at a time.

Trim your choices:
  • Drinks + Cocktails
  • Food Preservation
  • Meal Planning
