Last week I made lapskaus (pork and root vegetable stew) and tonight I made haluski (cabbage and noodles.) Apparently when I’m stressed, I make traditional European comfort food for dinner. What should I make next?

I’ve been working to grow my goat milk soap (& more) shop for 18 months, and I’m not sure what makes me happier: seeing the names come back for reorders, or that I finally sold a set of my crocheted potholders last night. 🥰 Trust me when I tell you that your purchases matter to small businesses. 💙

I went to the grocery store today, and casually asked the checkout guy how he was doing - you know, as you do. He looked at me like he was about to cry and said, “I’m trying.” I thought for a minute, and said, “I think a lot of us are feeling that way right now.” 💔

We grow a variety of things inside in the winter to make things feel a bit more alive. In addition to my houseplants, we have some salad and a cherry tomato plant growing (trying to grow?) I’m also brewing a gallon of kombucha and two pounds of spicy sauerkraut. What do you have growing right now?

My favorite way to spend a couple of hours on Sunday is in the kitchen prepping some food for the week ahead. Today that was a pan of roasted vegetables, a bowl of egg salad, and some bran muffins. Anyone else? What did you make today?

Hi, I'm Darcy! I am a goat milk soap maker, natural living blogger, marketing consultant, sourdough maker, kombucha brewer, food preservationist, wife, and dog and cat mama. I love days spent on the water and/or in the sunshine, and learning new things. 💙
