Homestead Dreamer lives with her family in Southeast Alaska. The 'dream' is to be as self sufficient as possible. Join me as I stumble along in my adventures!

I was going through the pantry last weekend and realized I only had 3 of these left! This is a GREAT way to use up meat that has been in the freezer a bit long, too! https://t.co/I7lw8AJziS

When we started, we knew things would change in our day to day but what we didn't know was how much it would change us overall. https://t.co/o4mpa8ejZN

There are now so many more but this is where I started! How many do you make on this list?

I feel fortunate to have grown up in rural Alaska camping, fishing, etc. How many of these skills are you confident in? Though some are simple, there is still skill involved to do it right! https://t.co/OkDpBw9iva

To me, not having to buy seeds every year is a mark of freedom! Having the
skills to harvest the seeds for the next year takes some time, though! https://t.co/uXc1YSroEC

I learned to can on electric. When we moved, I had to relearn on propane. Which one do you prefer? https://t.co/PvyUoVB8BW

Cooking with home canned food isn't really any different than cooking with store canned food -
except maybe tasting better! Here's some tips! https://t.co/VmOm3S8oW8

Imagine crackers that were tailor-made to match the meal - fresh in 20 minutes! (It's amazing how much a cup of flour makes, too!) https://t.co/PllAmkKAgi

It's not all pretty flowers and delicious food... https://t.co/mXjHlx3F2v

Thoughts? Be sure to share this one! The more conversation there is, the better the chance for some positive change! https://t.co/CKcfaCGx5k

Though we wish we could do it all, there are some things that really should be done by the experts. Think infrastructure! https://t.co/W3MAjnOp4j

Start planning now to have success in the garden this year - even in small spaces! https://t.co/PBivHh59aj

Have a vacuum sealer? It can be used for so much more than just freezing food!! Camping, first aid, dry clothes... get creative! https://t.co/Gv069q4ZLH

The rules change with the discovery of new information. Though grandma may have water bath canned green beans, now we know it isn't quite as safe as once thought! https://t.co/9dVNN7QMCk

Buying emergency food is not something that should be taken lightly. Ensuring you have stuff that you will actually eat, long shelf life, and good quality are just a few criteria to consider! SHARE THIS ONE or Tag a friend! https://t.co/wOb9GsAlSh

There's nothing like picking fresh herbs to use while cooking but in the winter, having dried herbs and spices you grew yourself is a close second. Learn how to preserve them easily! https://t.co/Hv7Cfu8WVn

There are a lot more rewards to homesteading than just fresh eggs and veggies! https://t.co/BcCDE8PTZP

We are used to the power going out now and then. Candles, flashlights, and headlamps at the ready but what if it lasts longer? Have a plan of action! https://t.co/kp6wUUmtkn
