November 13, 2015
From my favorite homesteading blogs this week:
- Learn how to roast any squash, including a no-cut method.
- On my to-do list: assembling a chicken emergency first-aid kit. (See also: Chicken 911! from the What The Cluck podcast.)
- The best way to cook stewing hens or prepare a pastured turkey.
- With the holidays right around the corner, this list of 100+ gift ideas for homesteaders might just come in handy!
On YouTube this week:
- Big Family Homestead shared how to make sugar cream pie.
- Our Half Acre Homestead made candied pineapple for fruit cake.
- Appalachia’s Homestead brought home new silkie chicks.
- Jenna Woginrich shared how she makes money as a homesteader.

Absolutely! I’ve gotten a lot of squash from our CSA this year and have been working for simple, tasty ways to enjoy it. So your post was perfectly-timed!

Thanks, Alexandrea! There is just nothing like a historical home, right?! I know ours is drafty and quirky, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
