Recipe from the kitchen of Becky @thesunnyfarmhouse Adapted from my momma’s recipe box. Since my momma went to heaven, her few hand-written recipes are a treasure to us. As a society, I think we no longer hand-write recipes very often. We find everything online in …
Happy New Year!! Since we’re all trying to be extra healthy this month …. Riiiight?? 😉 … here’s one of my family’s most favorite recipes! ALLLLL the kids are super excited to eat it and ask for seconds plus leftovers for days. Lentil soup is …
Peaches are one of my favorite fruits, so I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to them for the year. Today I’m sharing a simple peach recipe that can jazz up so many foods. Think: pancakes, cottage cheese, ice cream, oatmeal, yogurt, French toast, pound cake … whatever you love to eat peaches with!! Heck! Smear it on your homemade bread!!
You can make this recipe ahead of time – just store it in the fridge and use it cold or warm it back up when you’re ready to use it. This past weekend, we used it for a filling in sweet rolls and it was the bomb! Plus the perfect amount for a recipes that makes a dozen rolls.
Easy and healthy version of the classic cranberry sauce with no refined sugar.
Your kids just came in from playing on a chilly fall afternoon. Or you’ve just tucked the last baby away for the night & you have a few minutes to relax in a cozy corner of your home with your favorite book. Maybe a teenager needs an incentive to sit down and get some schoolwork done. When I envision my dream home, I imagine tantalizing aromas that draws the family near. Fall flavors & spices are my daydreams come true! 🍁🍁🍁
A mug of warm applesauce will hit all the spots!
I am forever converted to instant pot applesauce! Instant pot applesauce is thick and creamy and so much easier and faster to make than any other method. The biggest game changer… You can leave the peels on the apples!! {This also adds nutrients and fiber.} Not having to peel the apples saves so much time because I can quickly cut apple slices away from the core and also skip the deseeding step. 🍁🍁
My applesauce has no added sweeteners or sugars. I have tried many varieties of apples and it’s always delicious. Some of my family‘s favorite ways to enjoy applesauce is with a little heavy cream drizzled on top, on top of {pumpkin} pancakes instead of syrup, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
Maybe you’ve been to an orchard recently and picked apples with your family or maybe, like me, you have a couple apple trees in your yard. Autumn is the perfect time to find apples on sale at your local market or grocery store. This is the perfect way to use a lot of apples, even if they’re getting old, bruised, and a little mushy.
Sometimes I just need a good veggie soup in my system! This recipe is gluten-free and can be made vegan by using vegetable broth. Keep this recipe simple, inexpensive, & quick by just using carrots and celery for your veggies.
Lentils are a healthy and natural meat substitute. They’re high in protein, iron, and magnesium. They are also rich in nutrients, have a hearty texture, and best of all … they’re cheap! Take a minute to google the benefits of lentils and I believe you’ll want to make them a part of your diet.
This recipe makes enough soup for 12-ish people … it feeds my family of 7 dinner plus leaves enough leftovers for lunch the next day. But the recipe can easily be cut in half for a smaller crowd. If you want the soup to have more of a creamy texture, purée some of the soup before serving. Our family enjoys this soup year round {even when it’s super hot outside} because it’s a hearty, healthy meal! Feel free to add other veggies too … zucchini, bell peppers, spinach, kale, etc! Tip: if using a leafy veggie like spinach or kale, add just a few minutes before serving.
I like a lot of lemon juice to add yummy tang to the soup. Start with the juice of one lemon and add more, if desired.
