Popovers

Here is a super simple recipe for the Very Best Popovers. Be sure to use a cast iron popover pan, full size, not mini. Popover pans are available pretty reasonably on Amazon.

If you buy from Amazon, please use: http://smile.amazon.com . It is the same buying experience (your account is the same) as with the regular Amazon, and Amazon will donate a portion of your purchase price to Fairhaven Learning Project.

Choose Fairhaven Learning Project from the list of non-profits.

Thanks and Happy Homesteading,

Natural Bug Repellent

We make a batch of this about once a month. It’s super easy.

 Natural BUG REPELLENT

Fill container (about 4oz. Almond or Flaxseed Oil). Add 20 drops each of essential oils (mixture should be 10% Essential Oil:

  • • Lemon Eucalyptus
  • • Lemongrass
  • • Thyme
  • • Peppermint (for gnats and mosquitos)
  • • Lavender

Shake well. Apply every couple of hours. Good stuff!

We found that the flaxseed oil stained.  So we switched to Almond Oil.  

Happy Homesteading,
