As a farm family that raises pork, beef, corn, soybeans and wheat we are proud to raise some of the food that is served on our farmhouse table. This section is a collection of our farm family’s very favorite recipes that we hope will become family favorites for some of you as well!
From my Mom’s Pasta Salad or Broccoli Cauliflower Salad which are served regularly at home or a special holiday meal to an easy Farmhouse Chili or Hearty Beef Stew she’s got a slew of amazing recipes that I share on this site!
Every family has some favorite recipes. My side regularly enjoys Farmhouse Cheesy Potatoes and Cinnamon Applesauce Cake. My husband’s family is well known for my mother-in-law's famous Chocolate Cake from a Box Mix and my father-in-laws Sweet Potato Souffle or Homemade Ice Cream.
Since we’re always looking for meal ideas for kids we end up making a lot of sliders because they’re so easy to prepare and eat for all ages. Our Ham, Swiss & Ranch Sliders, Turkey, Cheddar & Bacon Sliders, and BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders are regulars on our family menu!
Life is busy on the farm, so we’ve got several super simple and super delicious favorites like Bacon & Cheese Loaded Fries and Marinated Tomatoes that make a great snack or side dish
So many readers have found traditional recipes in our collection that taste just like they remembered making or eating as a teenager. If my Grandma’s Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Cookies don’t hit the spot, this unique but flavorful Pistachio Pudding Cake or Best Sour Cream Cookies may do the job!
Please let us know if there’s an old-fashioned farmhouse recipe that you’re looking for. We may have a copy in our recipe box that still needs to be shared! In the meantime, we hope you find a new favorite to enjoy around your family’s table.
