Angelina is a busy beekeeper and gardener living on a small homestead with a bunch of clingy chickens in rainy Washington State. In between being a mama to two hilarious little boys and wife to the most patient man in the world, she teaches beekeeping to new beekeepers and makes/sells different farm products while her kids are in school. She feels like she never sleeps enough, but wouldn’t change it for the world.
Mix the ground pork and marinade together and let it sit for 10 minutes. As that is marinading, add two tablespoons of oil to a wok or pan over medium heat. Add the chopped beans in a single layer and lightly char. Add a little water to create some steam if needed.Set aside.Add ground pork to the wok/pan and brown.Add garlic and bell peppers and quickly stir fry for a minute. Add in green beans, sesame oil, soy sauce, pepper, and water. Heat through and plate!Serve over a bowl of rice.Note: I used a long bean here, but any type of green bean will work.

Homesteading and growing food is not the easy way out of this life, i would say it is the hard way as there’s nothing convenient about it. It’s a lifestyle, a life change not a trend or hobby. Well, that’s my opinion any way…

Like many in this homesteading space, this has been a completely unexpected journey for our family.

canning endless amounts of tomatoes…

Chèvre is my go to cheese! I milk the goats, go inside and filter it right into a jar, and start the cheese from that very point! The doe’s body temperature is just perfect for starting the cheese on your countertop. And it doesn’t get much easier than that!…
