- I love sharing what we are cooking in our farmhouse from season to season, so join me for this episode where I’m talking through what our menu looks like during these long, hot summer days. We are on the go more in the summer, so I am spending less time cooking which means I need to keep our kitchen stocked with quick and easy staples that we can throw together in a pinch. I hope you find meal inspiration in this episode to take with you into your own kitchen!

Egg salad tip! No peeling eggs! Crack 12 eggs into a buttered soufflé dish and set on the rack of your instant pot, add 1 1/2-2 cups water to the bottom of the pot. Cook 7 minutes at high pressure. Let sit for 2 minutes then quick release. Carefully remove from the pot then just cut up the eggs with a pastry cutter or a knife right in the soufflé dish and then scoop into a cool bowl to make your egg salad. 😊
This makes so much sense! Can’t believe I’ve never thought of it!
Thanks!
I love how thinking of a quick supper is just real life and you don’t sugar coat it , that’s how it goes sometimes and I appreciate that honesty 😊
Eggs and oatmeal is always my go-to quick meal. Everyone likes it. I always have it. And I can get it cooked and on a plate in about 7min.
Lisa, did you know that a pastry cutter makes quick work of cutting hard-boiled eggs into small pieces. I did it one day on a whim and have not looked back!!!💚💚💚
Great tip!
You are such an inspiration to me as a homemaker (newbie). I don't have anybody in my life to teach me and I'm using your videos to learn. ❤
Same one lesson at a time ! I like making her soft sour dough bread
We do the snacks lunch all the time. Meat, cheese, olives, pickles, pickled onions, and fruit!
Snacky lunches at the picnic table are a favorite part of summer. It encourages us to get outside everyday and keeps my kitchen clean!
@@cooker-q4x yes! Clean and cool 🙂
Cheese can be frozen.
I buy big costco cheese blocks, cut into smaller blocks, wrap in ceran wrap and freeze. Pull out as needed.
Literally laughing out loud in the first 30 seconds when she says she does not make elaborate meals . I come to you for elaborate meals
Lisa I love all your ideas with the eggs. Once you get your tomatoes, we love a BLT but we add a fried egg to the sandwich. SO delicious. You might try it to use up more eggs!! Thank you for sharing all your ideas. You are such a blessing to your family!! They eat well, they play hard and they are living a wonderful life!! God bless you and your family!!
Thank you!
Eggs in the ice cream too 👍. I make my ice cream out of egg whites
Thank you for these ideas!! I am due in a month with my first baby and love cooking from scratch. These are so helpful as I plan for easy meals now and after baby arrives!
Congratulations!
Congrats 🎊🎉🎈
My go to for using a bunch of eggs for desserts is on one day make creme brulee with the yokes and then a couple of days later you can make an angel food cake with the whites.
yum!!
Another dessert option is to make baked vanilla meringue discs (a pavlova kind of thing) with the whites and then top those (after cooking and cooling) with lemon curd (made with the yolks), whipped cream and fresh berries 😊
I use a cup of oil to each egg. I usually do 2 egg batches of mayo with Dijon 2 garlic cloves and herbs salt and pepper. Takes me less than 3 minutes ❤️
Thank you for sharing. We love breakfast for dinner over here!
It's so good!
I got tired of cutting my eggs for egg salad so I just take a potato masher and mash away. It makes it really easy. I've also started taking a vegetable chopper and putting the eggs in it before pushing down for smaller batches of egg salad.
Great idea!
I use.my.cheese grater...
This is what I use every time. I always have. So easy
❤❤❤ just what i needed, i love enjoying the podcast while i clean and prep my home for my family, thank u sister
You are so welcome!
This is perfect, I was just trying to figure out some easy meals for summer. Thanks for sharing!
I must have forgotten. Lovely snack or meal. 😊
I dont remember ever seeing you making mini quiches. That could be a great thing to make in bulk and freeze. Kids love those.
I have made them before...so good! I have the recipe on FarmhouseonBoone.com
We were just talking about this! We don't bake either but mostly because we don't have AC so quick and easy meals are so important in the hot months. Thanks for this.
We love adding either pickled garlic scapes or fermented garlic scapes to our egg salad! I chop them fine with scissors and they add a great crunch.
Sounds good!
Watch you every week. Listen to your podcast too. Can you please do some easy summer snacks/meals for those of us who “barely making normal price foods/snacks” can’t afford Organic anything cause it’s so expensive would love to see some recipes suggestions for those that live paycheck to paycheck meals.
Yes. We don't even buy lunch meat or anything like that anymore because it's to expensive. I struggle with lunch ideas the most!
Ultimately buying whole foods and not buying convenience items....look for whatever is in season as far as fruit and purchase that. Watch for sales and buy when you find deals....even popcorn that you pop yourself is a great snack and inexpensive....I find that prices vary wildly from region to region so what is inexpensive here may not be in your area. For dinners again I would say going to a farmers market and buying seasonal items when they are in abundance will give you the best price....using cheaper cuts of meat such as ground beef and adding some rice or noodles on the side is a good way to stretch a meal.
I love stuffed peppers. Peppers, and rice and a can of diced tomatoes, salsa or tomato sauce are all inexpensive so your investment would be in ground beef. A pound of beef can go pretty far when mixed with the other stuff. Ground beef, frozen vegetables with homemade biscuits on top is like cottage pie. I like to cook up a pack of chicken thighs or breasts or whatever is on sale and shred it for several meals. Shredding meat makes it go farther, Cabbage and carrots are inexpensive and you can sauté them and add to some ramen noodles with some chicken. Chicken and broccoli rice baked with some cheese on top is great and frozen broccoli isn’t expensive. Pulled chicken sandwiches and corn in season is so good. I also like to make a roast and shred the beef for tacos, stir fry, “ philly cheese steak “ sandwiches with peppers and onions.
We do lots of nuts and seeds.
@@jackimanley3056we started grilling chicken weekly and slice thinly and my husband uses that instead of lunch meat. So tasty and healthier.
One day I need to seriously make granola. Sounds so good (raw eggs and all).
Baked oatmeal uses a lot of eggs without the added with of tempering
we like that too but have been enjoying the creamy texture that is more like a pudding!
I love your channel your meals are always so beautiful and so uncomplicated I love it! 😊🎉
For egg salad, I push my hard boiled eggs through my air fryer grate or cookie cooling rack to make it fast haha! I just got too lazy chopping 😂
Great tip!
Fun fact I prefer devil eggs over an egg salad sandwich.
deviled eggs are so delicious too!
Thank you ❤
Azure Standard is the best best best. I have been buying at least half of our groceries from them for years as well. I have a $1,500+ order I am about to place now. Then one more large one before the holidays. I have been ordering three or four times a year instead of monthly because it's just easier. All of our meat and most produce is bought from local farmers, some favorites from Thrive Market and a few things from Costco. We keep our "grocery store room", 3 huge freezers and two refrigerators fully stocked with a minimum of 12-18 months supply at all time. Also all cleaning/laundry/OTC meds, toiletries, etc. I do not do this from a place of fear but a place of experience, peace of mind and the knowledge I can take care of my family. And yes, we have a whole house backup generator that has the entire house up and running like normal within 10 seconds of a power outage, a top of the line security system, great dogs and the means to take care of ourselves.
Yeah, I get the icky factor with the eggy oatmeal. I have not been able to get myself to try it...
It is just like making homemade pudding....the eggs are tempered and just add a creamy texture.
@@Simplefarmhouselife hmmm...well, I guess I will give it a try. I will probably be shocked at how silly I have been!! TY
Lisa, thank you for all of your beautiful inspiration! Is that a faux fireplace in your bedroom like the one in your living room? If so do you have a post on it? I have been obsessed with your living room one, as I’ve been trying to convince my husband that we need to make one as well.

❤️❤️❤️
Lisa do you have any suggestions on how to get your toddler to eat 🥚 eggs??!!!!! This was another great video ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Like what I talked about here....hiding them in crepes, oatmeal, puff pancakes etc.
Can you share your pickled onion recipe please?
Sure...I got the recipe from LoveandLemons.com
Awesome ideas, thanks! I went to your website to see if there's a recipe for the pickled onions, couldn't find it. Please, could you write that in. I've never pickled anything otherwise I'm sure it'd be easy to figure out.
I got the recipe from the blog LoveandLemons.com. You can go there for the whole recipe and print it...
@@Simplefarmhouselife thank you so much!
You mention a purchased kind of granola ~ Elizabeth-something? But there is no link to that in your notes. What is that brand and where do you get it? Azure Standard or somewhere else? Thanks!
Purely Elizabeths....I get from local grocery or Thrive Market
Can you give recipe for pickled onions😊
I got the recipe from LovelandLemons.com

Im allergic to avocado. What would be a good substitute oil for the chips
These are potato chips that I purchase....not homemade. I would say most chips that you find to purchase are made with may different types of oil....so avoiding avocado oil chips will be very easy.
@@Simplefarmhouselife ohhhhhhhhh I thought they were homemade! Thanks!!
My mainstream pediatrician said they are moving away from the no honey for kids under one reccomendation now. Everything always changes.
I've been wondering about this recently. Could you elaborate on why?
@meganclay5090 I didn't ask. She lumped it in with outdated guidelines. I asked about waiting to feed solids because the intestinal tract isn't fully formed and she said something like "That's what we used to think, that we should wait to give solids until six months, wait to give honey until after one, wait on allergens until they're older." Then she went on to expound on the newest research prioritizing limiting allergies and that allergens sooner and often is the new strategy. So maybe the honey has benefits for limiting development of allergies, and it outweighs risks. Since I've had three babies in three years and the reccomendations have been different with each one, I now pretty much do whatever seems right to myself, my husband, and my mother and grandmother.
Interesting! Thanks for passing this info along.
@SadieLGardner the honey issue is more to do with the risk of botulism for under 1 years old, but it is really rare, and I think they are reviewing if the benefits of the potential to prevent allergies with using honey outweighs the potential risk of botulism. Again still grey area they are working out. Our countries recommendation is still avoid honey before 1, but have early exposure to allergen foods like nuts and eggs etc
Your little team of men will not find a wife as wonderful as you. This could be problematic 🤣
Sorry. I CANNOT agree with you on one thing. Devilled Eggs ARE NOT THE SAME as Egg Salad. I am with your kids. Devilled Eggs all the way. No egg salad.
😂😂😂
UA-camrs make that much money to support 6 kids, where the only job they have is UA-cam?
No wonder everyone does videos for a living
I can speak for us...we do. I shared all the details on episode 33 of this podcast
Homey can cause infection in babies under 1 thats why honey isnt recommended
Thanks for all the recipes!!
She probably knows that
Love egg salad on toast. My husband loves eggs and bacon. God bless y’all! 😀❤️
Great ideas! I'm walking to my kitchen to put some eggs to boil!! I'm hungry for egg salad now! 😂
If you pop the filling into a ziploc bag and cut off the corner, you can make deviled eggs almost as fast as egg salad ;-). They don't necessarily look as pretty as nicely filled ones, but they taste the same.
Hello from NC
I love that you'll drop anything for a summer plan with friends.
We love long summer fun days...good for all of us!!
hey girl- this was really good! Great tips😁🥰
Great video, Lisa!🐦⬛🦋🐦⬛🎈
Thank you for these great ideas! I struggle with healthy and yummy snacks, any ideas?
We very often just snack on leftovers, cheese, granola and raw milk....the avocado oil chips (in summer) fruit that is in season....nothing overly exciting. I do have a few recipes on my blog you may enjoy that are a little snack-ish....FarmhouseonBoone.com
I needed this episode thank you our sweet Lisa!
