Why Appraisals Matter

February 28, 2018 By Antoine

Land AppraisalWhen you are going through the land/home purchasing process it can be quite a tall task.  There are many things to do and many items you need to keep on your mind.  One of these things is the Appraisal.  For those of you who have purchased a home or land before, you may be familiar with it and understand why you need one.  For those who are new to buying property, I want to share with you what we have learned while on our journey.

First and foremost, I am not a real estate agent or loan officer, so I speak only from personal experience.  We have purchased a home in the past, but we have never purchased raw land.  You would think that it would be the same as buying an existing home, [Read more…] about Why Appraisals Matter

Cheap, Easy, and Homemade Veggie Broth

February 27, 2018 By Deidra

tree bloom
This is minor. Some trees have gone full bloom!

It’s that time of year again, although it’s not suppose to be. Pollen is in the air and the house natives are feeling it. So, broth to the rescue! I usually make bone broth, but we have no bones I’d want to use. Instead, I have a bunch of vegetable scraps I’ve been saving. And this isn’t just for sickness. You can use this for any thing you need to cook involving a broth. So, here’s the recipe for my frugal and super easy veggie broth. [Read more…] about Cheap, Easy, and Homemade Veggie Broth

Our Journey – An Update

February 23, 2018 By Deidra

So, last we talked, I was telling y’all about the decisions that Antoine and I had to make about how we wanted to approach our homestead dream. Did we want a house on some land? Or, did we want raw land and build? There were a lot of twists and turns, ups and downs and I want to bring you all up to speed. [Read more…] about Our Journey – An Update

Scrambled Eggs With Collards & Onions

February 21, 2018 By Antoine

Collards In Hydroponic System
Collards In Our Hydroponic System

This past Saturday I got the chance to go out to our garage and cut a few collard leaves off the plants from my hydroponic system. I have to say, it is quite a joy to go to your own garden and pull them fresh off the plant only to serve them up minutes later.

I won’t focus much on the hydroponic growing system as I will blog in more detail on this later. However, I do want to share some photos and the recipe from this weekend! If you recall from my wife’s post on Real Cooking, we may or may not have exact measurements because sometimes we “wing-it”, but I will try to give you a good place to start.  Besides, the way we season, may not be the way you season!

If You Have A Seed…

February 18, 2018 By Deidra

Hand holding seeds
If you have seeds…

One of many hot topics last week was the announcement of the proposed changes coming to many of those getting assistance from the government for food. Politics is a touchy subject, and I try to stay out of that talk as much as humanly possible because, well, my point of views are never really popular with those on either side of the aisle. So, this won’t be a political post for or against the idea, but more of what we as a society can do no matter what happens. [Read more…] about If You Have A Seed…

Black People Homestead?

February 15, 2018 By Deidra

black farmerOf course!! Why wouldn’t we? For years here in America, good ole’ U.S. of A, my ancestors worked the land. I’m not going to go deep into the torrid history of our ancestors’ enslavement in all of the Americas, but I will point out that the act of homesteading is not a new thing to us.

Unfortunately, when one thinks of homesteading what may come to mind is covered wagons, “Little House On The Prairie”, “Ma and Pa Kettle” – pretty much that homesteading is a “white” thing. But it’s not. [Read more…] about Black People Homestead?

Almond milk
Have you seen the price of Almond milk lately? YIKES! That stuff is expensive. What if you could make it cheaper and with only two main ingredients instead of all that stuff listed on the bottle to help it have a long shelf life? Guess what? You can. All you need are a few appliances you may already have, some almonds (if you can buy them in bulk at your big box, whole sale, bulk buy, or warehouse club store you can get the cost down even lower!), water, and flavoring [Read more…] about Homemade Almond Milk

Real Cooking

February 10, 2018 By Deidra

Cast IronHey y’all. Ok, so…you know all those great cooking and food blogs out there in the internet universe? The ones with exotic names, pretty pictures, lengthy yet inspiring back stories, recipes that are billed to be easy, but you never have any of the ingredients – or time?
