When I made my New Year’s resolution to create frozen burritos for my work lunches, I had no idea how uncertain these times would be. Making food from scratch, saving money, and stocking up seem like better ideas than ever.

The Williams family helped found Nicodemus, KS—the first and only remaining Black settlement west of the Mississippi. Built by formerly enslaved people in 1877, it became a beacon of hope despite harsh conditions. Their resilience shaped a lasting legacy of Black homesteaders. #Homesteader #history

Bald Eagles have ruled our wildlife posts, but this week’s star is a tiny bird more often heard than seen. If a wetland walk greeted you with chaotic trills and buzzes, you’ve likely met a Marsh Wren. These little acrobats flit through cattails, singing like glitching robots. #WildWednesday

When the weekend gets swallowed up by work—like digging out from a snowstorm—having homemade freezer meals is a lifesaver. This curry took minutes to reheat after a long day. If you’re balancing homesteading & a full-time job, a little meal prep makes tough days easier! #homesteading #mealprep
