In an extra-ambitious mood, I might use yams without pre-boiling. For the best taste and texture, I’ll stick with carb-heavy boiling potatoes.

Lately, most homesteading friends are prone to bring up the topic of fresh greens. I get that way by the end of winter, too. Here’s a wow-worthy main-dish salad.

Just The Effin Recipe
1. Per Pound of Beef
- 1 TSP Salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 squirt of mustard
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
2. Mix all that
3. Hardboil eggs. However Many You Feel Like. I did 52 Eggs with 12 lbs beef and had tons of beef mix left which I made into a meatloaf after.
4. Peel them.
5. Take 1/4 cup ground mixture and flatten. Wrap around peeled hardboiled eggs. Roll in chicken flour. I got my chicken flour here.
6. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Turn eggs. Bake for 15 more minutes. Serve hot – I like to cut them in half.
COOK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
For the beef mixture, the salt to beef ratio is important and all other flavors can be dialed however you like. I was all out of thyme so I substituted dill. It was delicious.
I have discovered you can make these and freeze them before you bake them and defrost for 24 hours in the fridge, then bake as above and they are ALMOST as good.
Here’s another recipe that tastes much better than its basic ingredients suggest and that loads nutrients into a bowl of fun food.
You’ll notice a wide choice of dairy products suggested. The one you use may depend on what’s available or the experience of which soup you like best. And, of course, non-dairy creamy liquids are available to those who avoid what the cows produce.
It’s written for stovetop cooking, but if you simply want to load a crock pot and go away, allow 4 – 6 hours (depends on your pot). Read more
Since my vegetarian years, I have loved nearly all kinds of vegetable soup.
Why stop drinking coffee at 3 pm? Why not take a two-hour break and start again with Happy Hour?
We’ll start with a recipe for simple syrup, which many cocktails use. Read more
I boost protein content a bit with extra eggs, add anything from the refrigerator that needs to be eaten, and freeze the results to meter out when the morning hungries hit. I’ll write instructions for both wheat and any gluten-free flour you have on hand. Of course, if you use wheat, just call these Easy Muffins. Bear in mind that ingredients vary with inspiration and availability – and have fun.
