Join me as I make a cozy dish of French Onion Meatballs, prepare the greenhouse for seed starting, and repurpose fallen branches into firewood. I’ll share my favorite seed-starting method, a special antique butcher block restoration, and a quiet moment with the animals. These ASMR cooking and home sounds and gentle music will transport you to my little farm in the Iowa countryside. Even in this in-between season, there is beauty to be found in the simple rhythms of homesteading. Winter is slowly melting into spring on the farm, bringing muddy paths, storm cleanup, and the first hopeful signs of a new growing season.

✨ I welcome you to settle in and explore my little Iowa farm where we grow, harvest, cook, and preserve delicious foods. I’ll show you around the old-fashioned and traditional cooking methods that I love to try like canning, smoking, bread making, and cooking over a crackling fire. My wish for you is to find the beauty of from scratch cooking in your own cozy cottage.

*Please note that this video is a film and is a romanticized representation of my everyday life.
