Baked Buttermilk Rosemary Chicken

May. 07 2012

Yesterday I wanted to make a good meal since it was Sunday after all. I still believe in a good Sunday meal that you sit down and truly enjoy when I'm home so I really try to make the most of it. Since I had pulled a homegrown, organic chicken out of the Freezer Friday afternoon (which really does not ever need too much to be good), and since I love to layer flavors I made my baked buttermilk rosemary chicken with broccolini, mashed potatoes and of coarse homemade chicken gravy. Most people fry their buttermilk

What do you love about Home?

Mar. 27 2012

If you peruse this here website even a little you know that I love where I live and that I adore our farm. I suppose I am a walking contradiction, since I always want to be home, just as much as I want to be out on the road trucking. When my wagon is loaded, and it is time to truck I set my sights on the road and what I'll encounter along the way. When my wagon is empty and it is time to go home, I am like a horse with a bit in its mouth heading for the barn. There really is no stopping me and I can't wait to get

Springtime on the Farm

I love seeing the farm come alive!

Sneak Peek

Official One Girl Trucking Headquarters Years ago, this little building use to be a hog barn. It is the first thing I fell in love with when I moved to this farm. The house, still today I could take or leave, but this little gem I had to save. As soon as I entered it I had visions of what it could be and I will tell you, it didn't look anything like this. Hubs had boats, a leaky motorbike, and junk piled about as high as the old manure that had been left for the next person to clean up. When we got married, rather

Magic

Sep. 05 2011

Yesterday was spent outdoors. Between my garden & my shop, I was busy and didn't finally get to sit down until 7 last night... By then I couldn't stand up either, due to the pain. I didn't really have much choice by then. I'm working on making my shop into my One Girl Trucking studio for writing, photography, gardening, & whatever else blows my skirt up! Pictures will follow at some point. I'm heading back out now, but I wanted to share the magic in my garden. This little female hummingbird about took my

Just Look

There are people on vacation. There are people that want to go on vacation but can't. You may be on vacation even as you read this. For me though, since I drive my life away I am very happy to be planted on my own soil. Sometimes though, I work too hard and keep too busy to really enjoy my home time as much as I should. Every once in a while though, I slow down just little. I did just that this afternoon and I have a date with myself again tomorrow to do the same. A little while ago I walked our property

Chickens in the Planter

Jul. 10 2011

There are times, I get asked why I don't have any flowers in my planter on the deck. To which I have to answer, the girls have to take their daily dirt baths... Even though there are umpteen acres around here to take dirt baths on. And they are so good at sharing! And getting our deck full of dirt once they shake the dirt off... Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Spring on the Farm

May. 19 2011

It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~Mark Twain It smells divine around here these days! Our one lone apple tree is blossoming like crazy! I have been working my arse off on my garden. Hubs helped me make 9 more beds and they are all in place. I'm still working on filling each one, but we do have a couple grapes planted, new raspberries which were my

Squeaky Monroe

Last night we were able to sit out in front of the house and enjoy the sunshine. It was awesome to soak up the sun, have a drink and smell freshly grilled burgers. Of coarse we are never alone while outside. We had the ducks, chickens, Squeak and Sadie to keep us company. Sadly, Sadie was on a time out for killing one of my birds so she missed out on the photo shoot. Luckily for us and my poor birds, Squeak is well fed and lazy and doesn't really get into killing my birds for fun. He enjoys our company so much more
