Time is a Thief

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned on the homestead is that if I don’t have a plan, life will make one for me. Time is the most valuable resource here, and meal planning + batch cooking help me take more of it back.

This week, I spent 4 hours in the kitchen and now have 20+ dinners (with leftovers) ready to go for the months ahead.

I also keep the freezer stocked with sourdough biscuits, French bread, and pie filling. Since I work during the week, having homemade meals prepped means lower stress, more savings, and a whole lot less temptation to DoorDash dinner.

Planning ahead = reclaiming time. And on the homestead, that’s everything.
