Perfect Pickled Eggs!

April 17, 2022 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

A Sweeter Take on Pickled Eggs! Today we are talking about pickled eggs. Wait, don't go! Poor pickled eggs sometimes don’t get any respect! With the proper recipe, pickled eggs can be such a great treat. We started making pickled eggs a few years ago when the chickens started laying a ton of eggs in the Spring. We tried a few different recipes, and some did not taste good at all. Some recipes had too much vinegar, and others just tasted plain yucky. We were determined to find the perfect recipe!

Homemade Ramp Butter!

January 30, 2022 by OurWrensNest 2 Comments

Create an amazing spread using fresh and simple ingredients. Spring will be here soon in Ohio and it's such a great time of year. The flowers come up, garden prep is on the mind, our poultry brooders will be full of new babies, and wild edibles will start to appear.

Learn How We Preserve and Dehydrate This First Sign of Spring! We wrote this article back in 2020, and still continue to dehydrate our ramps this way!

There is something incredibly special about the dirty, oniony smell during the first harvest. It's a sign of new life, time to put away the winter gear and get ready for the spring and summer ahead. When ramps are in season we make sure whatever we harvest is put to good use. A favorite way to preserve ramps is to dehydrate them for use all year long!

My first teeny tiny harvest for the garden season My first teeny tiny harvest for the garden season from our greenhouse. Chives for dinner! (Oh those clippers need some love..lol!). I’ve been on this journey of reconnecting with everything I love and it’s been beyond amazing. Lots of creating really good boundaries, giving myself time off to recharge my mind. Not just working all the time. Enjoying life and adventuring with the hubby. Very happy I made this the year of me! 💪
