Come in close dear reader, I have a secret to tell you. I'm afraid of yeast. Ssshhh, please don't tell. I know that with a name like Fabulous Farm Girl people think I spend my days feeding chickens, whipping up homemade beef broth and baking loaves of whole-grain bread. Okay, the first two are true but the third one is my dirty little secret. I've never made bread from scratch because I'm afraid of those tiny micro-organisms called yeast. They're ... Read More
Mulled Cider With Essential Oils
When the weather outside is frightful there's nothing better to warm yourself than with a delicious cup of mulled cider made with essential oils. You heard me right--Mulled Cider With Essential Oils are like Christmas in a cup and so much more flavorful than any prepackaged mix from the store. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! The problem with the spices in most American cupboards is that they are old. After a year, ground spices ... Read More
How To Make Your Own Beef Stock
If there's one thing I'm passionate about it's saving money and a big part of that is not wasting food. Learning how to make your own beef stock (or lamb, chicken or turkey stock) is one of the easiest ways to not only save money by using food you would otherwise throw away, but you'll end up with a far superior, all-natural product than the cans you buy at the store. Fabulous! Technically all you really need for stock is bones and water. I ... Read More

Petroleum-Free Wood Polish
I don't know about you but I don't like petroleum, except for the kind I put in my car. I really don't like that stuff either, since it's pricey and non-sustainable, but unfortunately my car won't move without it.

I've replaced all store-bought cleaners ... Read More

I actually have three of them and this time of year they start to fill up fast. If I can freeze it, I will, and you might be surprised to know that you can freeze almost anything. This last week ...
