Cast Iron Lard Biscuits

Cast Iron Lard Biscuits

I had never been a huge biscuit person until recently. These are melt-in-your-mouth, flaky, buttery, savory and pure deliciousness.

These biscuits, made with our lard, are amazing with apple butter, jam, sausage patties, or for an epic breakfast sandwich. They come together quickly and are simple to make. Enjoy!

Stretch Your Food Dollars with this Ham, Bean & Veggie Soup

Stretch Your Food Dollars with this Ham, Bean & Veggie Soup

Now that we are a couple weeks into fall, I’m getting excited for all the soups and broths.

Soups are cozy, easy to make, and usually utilize the more inexpensive cuts like chicken broth bones, pork neck bones, or like in this recipe, ham hocks.

The hock is basically the very bottom of the leg bone where the foot is attached. It’s a lot of skin and fat with a bit of meat so a lot of butchers have these smoked & cured to add flavor and a bit of meat to beans, broths and soups.

This soup comes out to just over $2 per serving and then I usually serve with some yummy toasted and buttered bread or a grilled cheese.

Now that summer is here, so many veggies are in season! One of my favorites is green beans and whenever I picture green beans in a meal, I always think of bacon. Bacon just always takes things to the next level, am I right?!

I wanted to share a recipe I’ve already made several times this year. It’s super simple and always turns out delicious! You can simmer on the stove or use an instant pot, which is what I did. Read the full recipe in the blog!

Never Eat a Dry Pork Chop Again

You know what I’m talking about….the pork chop you have to slather gravy over or need to chew for minutes before swallowing. I grew up thinking pork chops were tasteless, tough and dry. I honestly wasn’t that excited to try ours when we harvested our first pork, because I was expecting the same thing.

BUT then I learned how to cook pork chops well. That paired with the flavor and wonderful fat content of our pigs made for the most delicious pork chops I’ve ever had.
