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.

Your meatballs looked amazing!
You can use those ashes in the garden or put them back near trees…just give them a good soaking first

Me encantan tus videos, ya la mala temporada va a pasar besos ❤
Thank you for the break in my boring, mundane life in corporate world!~ I love the visual and sounds that come from your editing~ chickens and easy going cats, topped with delicious food and a cracking fire~ not to mention cute lil babes all proud of their findings :O) could you elaborate on the "walrus oil" you used on the butcher block… is there a recipe or site it can be purchased from ? Thank you for your creativity!
Hello from Austria dearest Kayla! And thank you so much for the hint with the seedlings this is such a good idea and came just in the right moment for me today! 😅
Kind regards and all the best for you and your family ❤
Very cool butcher block! I have never heard of walrus oil before. Those French Onion meatballs look divine!

Kayla, it was so cool to see you in regular clothes! Still love your aesthetic; my cat loves to watch your videos as much as I do.❤
Мне нравится бывать на вашем канале! Желаю вам творческого вдохновения!
I made this for lunch today. My mom initially said she didn't wanted to eat it because of too much onions but in the end, she loved it and ate more than me, so safe to say it was veeeery tasty 😁
I feel like I’ve just spent a wonderful day at your delightful home. Such a great relaxing and inspiring video thank you. Really enjoyed watching the animals, your recipe looks delicious and your hard work is to be admired ❤
Meatballs look great. That’s one crazy thumb.
