The Suburban Homestead

Ok, so the title is a little misleading. But it comes from a statement that I hear ALL THE TIME! When people see what we eat, or hear that we are a whole foods family, (we do eat some meats, but not on a daily basis), I always hear "But I can't just eat rabbit food and salads all the time"...... Well guess what- I don't either!!                       Yes, we eat salads, but not daily, and sometimes not even weekly! There is so much more to eat than some lettuce and a couple of tomatoes!!!! So I wanted to share some actual meals that we eat regularly. I have a huge backlog of meal pics that I keep for my own records, so I figured this is a great way to share them! I will also share links to the recipes if I have them.  Welcome to some good ole' food porn! Nothing better than getting your mouth watering from some food that is not only good, but good for you!

I am so excited!!  Yesterday I FINALLY planted my seeds that a friend gave me for my  Loofah Plant.  Do you know where loufa sponges come from? If you were thinking "from the ocean", like me, you would be wrong!! These sponges are grown from zucchini/cucumber type plants!                                    UNBELIEVABLE Right?!   So here's what happened....I was looking around on some of my community groups on Facebook, and a friend had posted that she had loofah plant seeds. I was so curious about what this was so I went straight to YouTube and watched a few videos. I was so excited about the chance to get these seeds to add to my suburban homestead!  Here's a few videos about them.   How to Harvest A Loufah Sponge What they look like growing Making a soap embedded sponge              You can do so much...
