I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!
New Videos 5 Days A Week!!!
If you're going to build a new henhouse for the other pasture you could call it Los Hengeles. Then you could have an East Coast flock on one pasture and a West Coast flock on the other ☺
With all that is going on in this world it is refreshing to sit down in the morning with my coffee and watch your newest adventures. This is my replacement for television.
Auntie Pam I feel the same way I disconnected my tv utube is my tv I watch homesteaders and crafters
I agree with you, it's my guilty pleasure ,, my days not right without lumnah acres
Agreed. I totally quit watching the news!
Auntie Pam thank you. We are in the same boat we don’t watch regular TV or the news.
No TV for over ten years here. Poison. I look forward to these videos every single day. Wednesdays and Sundays are tough to get through. I know I'm not alone.
CWC simply lived by the New Hampshire State Motto... "Live Free or Die" (and in her case, both)
Brilliant! You win.
Thanks for hanging up my Australian number plate in pride of place Al. My father was so excited. We all love your show and its great to see the whole family getting involved with all the projects. Spring is such a busy time for you guys! I bet Justin Rodes wishes he could make half the stuff yourself and Gina put together lol. Luv the show never miss an episode!
Thank you for watching from down under you have a beautiful country. I would love to visit it some day
You should make a T shirt with “don’t touch the fence” 😂
Rusty is one good looking rooster!!! And then, Little Nora's pose in the feeder!!! And your smiles, and the little ones jumping and gallivanting all over the place, and the lovely colors off the eggs, and sweet Figaro watching over everyone, and the milking, and the food preparation, and how green all is, and the cute pigs and the way Al talks to them, and the little flowers... and EVERYTHING. There is not one thing i dislike about your videos. Thank you for the relaxing, fun time you allow us to have. God Bless you all.
Here here!
Could not agree more!!!
When NYC was being moved, I'm sure I could hear them chanting "Are we there yet?. Are we there yet?."
I totally agree. I start my day with my Lumnah friends and my morning coffee. Better than any news channel. It motivates me to get things done. God bless you and your family.
“ if you get a weed it’s your extra flavouring” 😂😂😂
Great find for $1 attachment for your drill to help with rolling the sides up on the greenhouse.
The new chicken coop tractor should be called "Yolk"shire
Definitely would love to see Hope Ultrasounded
And the pig pen "New Pork City"
Hamtons
@@TheWoodHaven and the pigs named, Sir Loin and Lady Snout...
Yes to the Ultrasound for Hope! The little flower clips in today's video were really refreshing. Not sure if you noticed Al, but its always the same hen in Rusty's flock that doesn't go in at night!
Was she one of CWC's posse? As I recall there were actually 4 or 5 of them that preferred to roost by the pigs.
@@christinedehn3257 None of Rusty's flock were born then!
Nothing nicer than that first mouthful of freshly cut salad, or herbs, or vegetables.
A salad dressing I make is a base of oil and vinegar (your preferred type), salt and pepper, then with added garlic and honey.
Sometimes thinking outside the box can save so much money, so that attachment for $1 is a great idea.
Lovely to see NYC finally being able to move, and here's hoping that the chickens soon get right into that compost pile. I suspect once the edges start collapsing they'll be all over the thing.
I love how the goats all adore Gina, she most definitely has the touch.
Instead of red wine vinegar use balsamic vinegar and add in some italian seasoning with all of the same things you added...It's really nice with pickled beets and goat cheese...Thanks for bringing some sanity into our currently crazy world. Take care.
Even I will try this it sound very tasty thanks for sharing.
Just for the record, we ain’t seen crazy yet!
It is so refreshing to look at videos prepared by people like Al and Gina. Even though I am retired military and worked for a couple of government agencies...I prefer not to even look at the on-line news these days. Everything is so political oriented and full of divisiveness and so opinionated, as designed to divide American society. The media are culprits in this I am afraid.
mine is simple and tasty , i only use olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt
Salad dressing. Lime, strawberry jam, oil, vinegar, salt, pepper
Sounds yummy! I want to try this with orange marmalade too.
I love orange marmalade. I have a jar open on the cabinet right now lol
That sounds like a good sauce for grilling chicken and pork! I've had a sweet spicy sauce for grilling made with prickly pear jelly and jalepenos ! YUM YUM YUMMY!
@@jeanettedickey6748 ,
My favorites , orange maramlade and Lingonberry.
Moooornn🐨🦘🇦🇺😂😂😂look at the chooks looking at Al through the
window....let us out 😂😂😂
LOL!!! I saw that too❣️
Great to see you using the battery drill on the greenhouse side walls.... :) Good use of a simple solution ! You just need that thermometer in the greenhouse now!. Stay safe, stay healthy. Wish you guys lived in NZ... we have hit zero COVID-19 cases today!
That is great to hear for the COVID-19 cases.
Congrats on zero cases! :)
It was nice to see a number plate from my home state South Australia !
I'm in South Australia too! 😄
Yes to Hope ultrasound!!Then we can compare to Fern❣❤❤❤
Jane Peiffer
I love the film of flowers and the animals up close. It is so beautiful. Good job Gina!
Good morning! Looking forward to you harvesting from the greenhouse. Gina, I have the same scissors you cut the cucumbers with. We use it to make sure delivery pizza is cut all the way through, and the flat part helps with serving it too. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.
Good morning! My favorite dressing is Honey Lemon Dressing. 1T lemon juice (I use half a lemon); lemon zest to taste; 1T honey; 1/2 t. chopped thyme; 1/4 cup EVOO; salt and pepper to taste. Mix it up and pour it on. So delicious! If you use the emersion blender, leave the zest out and just stir it in at the end, otherwise you might lose the texture of the zest. That was a nifty trick with the greenhouse. Have a blessed day, yourself!!
The first tomato that falls into my hand. Yes I know it's a long wait but I used to treat myself to pea pods in the morning to tide me over 👍
Danelle at Weed em and Reap already said you two were going to do ultrasounds at the same time.
Here's a Greek dressing that our family love. 3/4 cup evoo, 2 tsp powdered garlic, 2 tsp dry oregano, 2 tsp dry basil, 1 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 1/2 powdered onion, 1 1/2 Dijon mustard, i cup red wine vinegar. Add everything together and blend. You'll love it.
Hey Al! I believe the chickens have picked up a habit of pecking eggs, you should do what Justin Rhodes did which was put wood eggs and it stopped the pecking in a few days to a week or two.
I just love watching Olivia being fully involved in your farm life. She is such a natural with all of the animals. Some good has come from Covid in that School has moved to home!
Enjoying tomatoes from our garden now (favorite), along with squash, green beans, cucumbers, peppers and okra, going to can pickles today.
Gwen Pool , yummy, my mouth is watering for the good stuff from your garden. Yes Okra, where are you that okra is on your plate. The few plants I have hopefully will have yellow flowers soon.
For a chicken coop that will move over almost any terrain, consider using big wagon wheels (just two of them!) A solid axle through the middle of the coop doubles as a roosting perch! Pull-down struts in the four corners hold it stable once parked.
God idea for the drill. I noticed it struggles a bit, if you place the drill on the slow speed option it will have more torque and drill will be more constant throughout
I love Hope! I watched her being born.
Would be fun anticipating her babies births and knowing how many were coming. 🤗🌻💕🙏🏻
Hi Gina, recipe for salad dressing 4 parts oil (of your choice) 1 part Balsamic vinegar, 1 part lemon juice, 1 teaspoon mustard, 1 crushed clove of garlic, salt, pepper, syrup if preferred. Please don't use the blender, simply screw the lid on to your jar and shake well Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm. Delicious as Al would say ! ! !.
Moving,milking,feeding ,screwing,growing, cooking ,cutting grass,repairing ,building,eating ,pause for a sleep ,then start all over again , a busy day with u guys on the farm
I really like the 'hook'. It does a really good job and the comparative cost is wonderful. I really like it when one of you thoughts or ideas pay off big time. At most from now on, all it costs is the energy to charge a battery! Take Care God bless.
There have been multiple past suggestions to do just that but they have not been acknowledged.
In my home orchard in SE Georgia, the plums are always my favorite. My latest ripening tree is about 2/3rds done. I've got about seven gallons in the freezer. I will start using them to make sauces and vinegaretts and the like when the peppers start ripening in larger numbers. I still have tons of plum jam from last year. The first pear tree will ripen pears in early July and the last one will ripen pears in mid to late August. The early bloomers are having a poor season on account of January being too warm triggering blooming and February being too cold and wet for pollinators to do their job. But I have great crops on the later blooming varieties. I usually end up canning about 20 or 30 gallons of pears and use them all up before the next season. My first fig tree will ripen figs in July. The two ever baring trees will ripen a crop in August and keep ripening figs until the frost gets them in late November. The vegetable garden is a year round thing here. I just ripped out my rutabagas today. I had let them stay longer than I ordinarily would because a friend gave me some very little superhot pepper plants that can't take full strength Georgia sun when they are small. The bolting rutabaga plants gave them some shad until they were big enough to take the afternoon sun. The hot and sumperhot peppers are always the most fun vegetables to grow even if they aren't exactly my favorite to eat. Having said that, I admit that a habanero whether fresh in season or pickled out of season goes into something I eat just about every other day. I've already gotten an eggplant. I have a huge blueberry crop this year but as always the birds get most of them before they are ripe enough for me to want to bather with them. Blueberries would be almost pointless on account of the birds were it not for the fact that they help keep the birds off the blackberries and plums. I planted my blackberry patches last year. I got a few this year, and should get a big crop next year. The birds peck at them some, but they don't like them near as much as they do the blueberries. What used to be my favorite but now kind of messes with my blood sugar are the muscadine grapes. They ripen in august and will also be used to make hot sauces with the peppers. My persimmon trees are still small, but it looks like I'm going to get a few this year. They ripen in late August and November. My last fruit crop are the satsuma oranges and lemons. They start ripening in November and will hang on the tree until I manage to eat them all or until our first freeze going below 26F which usually happens towards the end of January if it happens at all.
With vinaigrettes use a 3 to 1 ratio of oil to vinegar. Then you can modify the flavor with mustards, honey, etc
For salad dressing, next time you go to the store, look at the ratio of oil to vinegar in the bottled dressings. Your ingredients are fine, but you need to use a lot more vinegar. Use a balsamic vinegar instead of red wine. The older balsamics are sweeter without using sugar.
And there GOOD too!! But yeah Devin is right for all that oil.you shld have used at least a 1/4 to a half cup vinegar
Was going to suggest a better ratio of vinegar to oil. I believe it is 1 part vinegar and 3 parts oil. Check on the web: Martha Stuart, Ina Garten, etc.
As for the acid part, I am not a big fan of balsamic but maybe the age and quality was not the best. You can replace vinegar with lemon or orange juice. I sometime add a dab of dijon mustard as it makes it a little more emulsified.
Enjoy the salad!
Yes ultrasound Hope because her and her sister Fern from Weed em and Reap were bred at the same time so you can see who is having more babies 😊
Have you tried making buttermilk with the goats milk? If you do that you can then add several of your herbs growing in the garden and garlic to make yourself a nice ranch dressing!
So happy to see Moose’s gang moved on to fresh pasture. They are going to love that compost piles
I love Gina's dancing @9:18 she looks happy and carefree; its beautiful!!! Also, YES for sure do an ultrasound on Hope, I think it would be awesome to see the whole process especially with her because she's our FAVORITE haha !!!!
Live down in Alabama, 75 miles from the beach, we have been eating squash and cucumbers and green beans, corn is tousling, Tomatoes are almost ready! We eat fried green tomatoes, and love tomato sandwiches! Have a blessed day!
Your daughter is growing up considerate and helpful. It's nice seeing her go ahead to open doors and gates. Can't learn manners too early in life. Good parenting!
Please make a tribute video for CWC. Don't forget to include the baby chicks you found by the pigs after she had been missing a while. You guys are a blessing.
Good morning y’all. An Ultrasound done on Hope then might also show how many babies sweet girl Hope is going to have. Y’all thinking of expanding the Does room more as your herd grows? Blossom might give Babies and soon Little P and her sister will become mother’s. Y’all ever thought of growing cherries and Currants? Have a great day. We have used mint with lamb last week and we use cilantro, I will be planting more cilantro.
Oh yes❣️ Cherries and currants...yuuuummmm 🥰
A basic vinaigrette recipe is 1 part vinegar to 3 parts oil. I tend to reverse it. Using more acid to oil. We prefer to use fresh lemons instead of vinegar, but ACV is also nice. Sprinkle some nutritional yeast on the finished salad for good measure.
With the great cooking you do, you need a better salt/pepper set-up than an old school set of shakers; I switched to 3-4 inch open wood bowls with coarse ground pepper, and pink Himalayan sea salt. I recently added one with Italian seasoning. Always available to use with a simple pinch of the hand.
I'm sending you a recipe for a dressing that has been passed down from my Grandma. My daughters are now grown and on their own and are making it at their homes now. My family loves it on leaf lettuce and onion salads. It has a sweet but tangy taste. Hope you like it too.
Egg Dressing
2 Eggs
1/2 tsp. Salt
5 Tbsp. Apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp. Water
2 tsp. Sugar
Dash of black pepper ( to your taste)
4 Tbsp. Mayonnaise
Add all ingredients to a sauce pan except the mayonnaise and beat until all is well blended together. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until eggs are cooked and mixture has thickened up. Fair warning, the mixture really smells while cooking but do not let it bother you because the dressing will not smell like that after it's finished. Transfer mixture to a bowl and place in the refrigerator to cool completely before adding the mayonnaise. You may have to adjust the ingredients as I do not measure. You may need to add a little more mayo if texture is not smooth and creamy. This will keep up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
Gina was on the right track with the salad dressing... I just add some Oregano and Garlic for more of a Mediterranean flavor, Great with Feta cheese too!
I think it is always a good idea to do a sonogram. That way you know what to expect and can anticipate any problems. I'll shoot for 13 eggs. If you are getting broken eggs they may need some calcium. I like a buttermilk dressing or a simple oil/vinegar dressing. I always had mustard to it. Blessings to all.
A nice big deck would look and be useful on the back of your house. !!
I'm a commercial poultry grower in NC and we've been using mechanical winches with drill motors for several years in our poultry houses to raise and lower both water and feed lines.
Balsamic, Maple Syrup, olive oil, whole grain mustard, garlic, salt and pepper; is one of our favorites. You can can change up the vinegar and the sugar. Love all the videos, as usual!
I like the quiet intervals showing nature around the farm. Peaceful.
Gina, the basic rule of thumb is a 3 to 1 oil to vinegar ratio for dressings. Salt and pepper help but if it’s still bland, there’s probably not enough vinegar. Experiment with different oils and vinegars and seasonings too but remember, the stronger the oil (like evoo) then you may have to adjust the amount of vinegar. Add grained mustard or grated cheese or fruit /citrus chunks to it too or whatever you find you like. (We love sliced tangerine segments and sliced almonds with evoo and a balsamic reduction) That’s the fun in it, you get to try whatever you have around... I mix mine after adding my fav seasonings then keep it in the sealed jar in the fridge to chill while dinners being made. Then I just have one of the kids shake it for a good minute and a half before adding to the salad at the table.😉
I was wondering when you’d get a hook for that side roll Al. Sounds like you’ll need to keep that battery well charged, that drill struggled a bit. Is it set to one or two on speed/torque? Lower the better...You may end up smoking it putting that much of a strain on it otherwise, so watch it closely for it heating up... I know it’s not perfect, but a corded drill may be a better option.
Anyway, the greenhouse plants are looking healthier by the day, and those salad greens are looking tasty. Have you considered adding a few dwarf fruit trees inside the greenhouse yet? Skys the limit brother. Even if your rewards are only half as great as your efforts have been, you guys will never go hungry! We’re pulling for you! ✌🏼
Gina!!! Your salad dressing recipe is perfect, next time add an egg yolk, one clove of crush garlic and a tablespoon of parmigiana cheese, blend and serve... ENJOY as always have a blessed day
Yuuuummmm sounds perfect!!!
Diane Tucker 😊
I love this SUPER EASY Greek Salad dressing. I use it in a Quinoa Salad and on fresh baby spinach/mixed greens salad. Give it a try, I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
Greek Dressing
Equal parts lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, and olive oil
1-2 tbs kalamata olive juice
2tsp Dried oregano
2-3 cloves minced garlic
(I like to mince a little onion, bell pepper and cucumber to add in for flavor and color)
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch of sugar or off set the acid
We have been eating carrots fresh out of the garden for a month! Yum! Salad dressing fresh key lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder, fresh minced parsley from garden, shake well!!
G/day, It is very nice to see you and Gina working together Just like Kevin & Sahra Thay have always worked together Love seeing how you all work your farms Good watching & lots of laughs. Keep up the good work. :-) :-) ;-)
I used to work at a gourmet French cafe/deli and I made a colorful and delish veggie salad:
CONFETTI SALAD
2 cups seeded, diced tomatoes
1 cup EACH diced: cucumber, zucchini, red, yellow, orange, green bell peppers, purple onion,
Mix: 2 cups SWEET orange juice
1 cup light flavored salad oil
Toss to coat, press down into dressing and chill for 2 hours or more to marinate.
This is a gorgeous salad! Line top of bowl edge with half or quarter thin slices of oranges.
RIP*CWC ... FROM Kingston, Ontario, Canada ... odes to a really Cool Bird! We miss You!
27:14 An easy 'simple' salad dressing is: 1 part vinegar (1/4 cup), 4 parts oil (1 cup), table spoon of salt, teaspoon of pepper. And, if you need a change, differ the vinegar type or, add oregano to taste.
For salads breaking up chive blossoms for a mild onion flavor is great. I add either lemon pepper or Old Bay Seasoning (also good in soups and on meats)to my salad dressings. Another tip is to make your dressing with blueberry or raspberry juice(or syrup) for a nice twist. The Greeks and Italians moisten dry bread with a little water and mostly salad dressing. You don't want it dripping wet, just nicely moist. Mix it in with your greens. That's a good addition to a big salad lunch! Another dried herb to mix in is dill which is also fantastic with deviled eggs or tuna fish salad with a soup spoon full of pickle relish mixed in. Well have fun concocting new wild and wonderful salads!
wow i never realized how big Figaro was till Olivia picked him up, he is a mini panther, and so loyal and loving too, thanks for a great channel, Yes sonogram for Hope is to be on plan, lets see what happens as her sister Fern is due the same time
That's funny, the first time I saw you hook the crank up on the side walls I thought to myself, an eyebolt in a cordless drill would be perfect... I really love you guys. I can't miss a single video. I got hooked when you started the barn and haven't missed one since. I 'm way too old and feeble to start something like you are doing but so happy that you are living my dream and posting these outstanding videos.... A day in the life of a homesteading family. God bless you all.
At the store they use to have good seasoning dressing bottles with the measurements on the the bottle . I think the ratio is 2 parts oil to one part vinagar
Yes please do a ultrasound to see how many babies hope has ❤️❤️
Two of my favorite salad dressings are (1) 2 parts olive oil to 1 part fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper; (2) sour cream seasoned with dill, parsley, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and a splash of half and half (stir until pourable thickness). Hope you enjoy these.
Buttercups really got the drill down for the milk stand.
She gets up there with no hesitation, that's a good sign.
I think you got distracted during the egg count, there were 12 (not 11) with 2 broken ones. Had to re-watch the video to be sure it wasn't me.
BTW, the "Weed em and Reap" folks said you were both going to do ultrasounds on the sister goats. Great content, really enjoy your videos.
Yep, it was 12 but if you count the one they got early in the morning that was 13
For a white garlic dressing. Equal amounts creme fraiche and yoghurt mixed with fresh garlic, oregano, thyme, parsley, white pepper, salt, sugar. You can if you want add a squeeze of lemmon or fresh grated apples. The salt and sugar is to balance the flavours. Only very little is required. You can use garlic cuttings instead of the bulb like you cut the onion. Thyme is optional but works very well with Lamb.
Weed em n reap said you are getting an ultrasound on Hope. That would be cool!
The second coop could be Newer Yolk City. You could then say New or Newer for short.
grilled cucumbers,. lemon juice, lime juice, ooo key lime juice. I like Russian Dressing, Maybe change up the oil to something not so neutral EVOO Italian seasonings. Rub the inside of bowl with a cut clove of garlic, I worked in an Italian Restaurant that's the way they did it.. add grilled head of garlic done while cooking burgers, the head should be nice and squishy, mild flavor easy to incorporate in dressing. Let your mind flow free. Make more dressing than you need refrigerate the flavors will marry overnight.
I love fresh summer squash. It's my favorite veggie. My Moms old time salad dressing was mayo, mustard, ketchup, a bit of vinegar and pickle relish. We all loved it. Some liked chipped onion in it also. I just love your videos.
I love your farm! You have accomplished so much.
I think you make our Lord very happy. Blessings!
Best vinaigrette dressing ever! 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, salt and pepper. Blend well. You can cut this recipe in half or just store it in the fridge. A family favorite is: 1/4 c Mayo, couple splashes Worcestershire, 1-3 teaspoons ketchup and 1/2 teaspoon mustard. Or the amounts that suits your tastes. Leave out the ketchup and add 2-3 tablespoons honey or more for a honey mustard. 😊
i enjoyed seeing your family show appreciation at your family meal --- the family prayer -- a show of appreciation --- thank you for the example you show
New Hampshire Maple Mustard Dressing
Ingredients
1/3 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons whole-grain Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
How to Make It
Combine all ingredients in medium bowl
This one is a keeper!
can you show how you process the goat milk? great videos as usual !
Yes I agree! My daughter will be eventually milking her goats and it would be great to know the process.
@@bobbieyounce3851 Lumnah Acres have said in previous replies that they just filter & refrigerate.
Lowrey's Garlic Salt is a MUST for all of my salad dressings ... it really makes a difference.
My chickens layed their eggs first thing every morning like clockwork. It was great to be able to collect the eggs as part of the morning chores and not think about it the rest of the day. I did check in the evening just in case but they were all done for the day.
Looking forward to seeing how the chickens do on the compost pile ! The CWC license plates are so nice to see going up, she was a sweet heart, The burgers look very tasty!
First recipe Normal Dressing:
1 small Onion (you can use yellow or red Onions), 1-2 clove of garlic,
One, maybe two teaspoon of mustard
one big tablespoon of Olive oil
1 cup of Greek or normal yogurt
A pinch of salt, pepper, paprika prouder
One teaspoon of honey
Mix Olive oil and mustard. Than add Salt, Pepper and paprika prouder. Than the Honey - look how much sweetness you like. Than the Yogurt. At last cut the onions and garlic in really small pieces and add them.
Second recipe: A Really good summer dressing is from my Grandmother and really easy (tasty with Iceberg lettuce) Best serves cold:
like 3 cups of Yogurt (In the recipe I know it is like 500g)
2 tablespoon of lemon juice
2 tablespoon Olive oil
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
pinch of sugar
I hope I everything is right. It is sometimes a little bit tricky to convert from Gram, Millilitres to Cups and Spoons.
Also for hot summer make your recipe with avocado oil & change up the acid with orange juice & the zest of the orange.
You should try Southern Wilted Lettuce Salad. If I remember right my Mom used large Red Romaine Lettuce & you make the dressing out of a few tablespoons of hot bacon grease mixed with sugar & apple cider vinegar & salt & pepper to taste. You just mix it up right in the skillet you fry your bacon in & when you whisk up the ingredients in you also pick up all those delicious bits of flavor as you de glaze the skillet. Then you pour it slowly over your lettuce & toss.
That's why it's called Wilted Lettuce Salad because the hot dressing wilts some of the lettuce (like greens) but it still is a crunchy salad.
You can add croutons to it also.
I always liked adding halved cherry tomatoes to it to.
Gina has started with a modified Italian salad dressing . Normaly I put salt directly on the salad, add olive oil and white wine vinegar.
The big flavor champion is basil even you can make basil oil ready to use. When it is hot we do salad dinner. I add tomatoes, tunafish and plain baked beans or sweet corn. A huge dish of vitamins. For bitter taste you can use rucola or dried origano.
Buon Appetito 😀
Olive oil, lemon juice, sweet mustard, water, honey, garlic, salt and pepper. Another favorite is sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Add water if you find it too thick. This one is also very good when you add fresch herbs. Enjoy.
1. High quality virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar of Modena, salt, pepper.
2. High quality virgin olive oi, lemon juice, drizzle of runny honey, mustard powder, salt & pepper to taste.
3. Always shake well, both should last ages. Simple, no added rubbish. : )
Simple vinegarette - 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar ( or to taste), 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper to taste. Wish to emulsify. Serves 2 generously, also great on grilled chicken.
In my family we had a stand by dressing: 1/3 vinegar, 2/3 oil, garlic powder or finely minced garlic, dry mustard powder, salt or Lawrey`s seasoned salt, black pepper, little sugar and you can add a bit of water if you want to thin it out. The only thing I remember measuring is the dry mustard, I wouldn't use more than 1/2 tsp. You could also just use a little prepared mustard instead of the dry.
I’m 2 hours south of you in Sullivan County and my in ground garden finally started planting today with my 25 tomato starts. It’s our first growing season in NH and it quickly became obvious that the veg bed wasn’t cared for last year. I must’ve pulled 200 rocks out of just the 2 rows for the tomatoes! Hoping to get everything else in this week. Oh, and so excited that we finally got 12 chicks the other day from Runnings! They’re so cute. It’s my first time as a chicken mama, and the joke in my house has become, “what would Lumnah do?” 😅
My
favorite salad dressing: 2 parts EVO, 1 Part Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, 2 tablespoon Honey, 1Tsp minced garlic & Ground pepper.
What you see is what you get,young American family enjoying farm life,love it...
When I see you walking toward the pigs, I tense up in anticipation of them touching the fence, then giggle at your reaction Al. lol Love starting my day with you and your menagerie of animals.
Oil of choice, lime, or lemon juice, Bragg Amino acids, salt & pepper...I shake, immersion blender will do also....
A tried and true salad dressing from Doug and Stacy:
1/2 C olive/avocado oil
1/8 C honey
1/8 C apple cider vinegar
Shake to mix. Add spices, garlic (yum) and it can actually sit on your counter as a dressing base. So you can change up the flavors if you want to. Can also be used on pasta salads, on chicken, etc. It's definitely YUM!
maybe you had the idea before I commented, but good to see that the hook works... Good Job.
Our go-to salad dressing is a 1:1 mix of apple cider vinegar and olive oil mixed with some crushed red pepper flakes, thyme, dried dill weed, and powdered mustard or mustard seeds. It tastes better after sitting a while- we make it a day ahead for best flavor. Tried using mustard oil instead, but that was a bit too strong. If you like creamy dressings, pickup either a can of powdered milk or preferably a can of powdered buttermilk and add a spoonful. Powdered buttermilk keeps for years if kept cool.
Sometimes our chickens sound like they are dying while laying eggs! Every now and then we run out there thinking something is after them. But nope! Just laying a nice big egg! lol
When you get your fence set up the right way, you should mark the 4 corners so it's easy to set up next time you move it.
1, A refreshing dressing is Avocado Oil lemon juice & crushed garlic.. 2, Wash then slice lemons remove pips & liquidise the whole lemon skin included you may need to add a little water to this if it’s to thick this can be used as above if making a larger batch OR with other added herbs & oil as an overnight marinade.. 3, Place on a low heat to begin the liquidised lemons add a little water at a time so you can stir easily then mix some Arrowroot to add to the lemons to make a lemon sauce to use with salads or can be used with chicken, duck, stir fry or to pour over puddings cakes take your pick..
That was so cool seeing you move New Yolk City! I really like the Goat Stop. What a wonderful idea. It was great to see you hang the commemorative license plates too! Using the drill to wind up the roll sides works really well. Reminds me of the ladder raising in the barn.
