30 Days of a North Dakota November

Filed Under: Uncategorized 9 Comments

(Thank you to my sister for her design work!)

To kick off November, I am starting a new daily series. That is right. I am blogging every day this month. This is going to jump start my blogging again which has been limited lately. But really I am doing it because there is so much I want to share with you. Particularly I am going to share about food with recipes, food topics and issues, family farming and share many North Dakota prairie photos. I have a few other friends that will be participating in food and farm blog themes daily in November. I will include weekly links to what they are sharing. Let’s set the ground rules. 

I won’t be consist in a daily time that my posts go up. That would be too much organization. But if there is a topic you would like me to tackle, leave a comment. Anything is on the table. Most blog posts will be focused on food, farming and photos with obviously my family being a part of those topics.

Here’s a sneak peek to some of what you will see, read about and well, you might even learn. But there are no promises. We are all in this together. I hope to learn from you while I am sharing.

Corn. Soybeans. Monsanto. GMO’s. To label. Or not to label. High Fructose corn syrup. How farmers select their seed. 

What farming practices farmers use that conserves resources and improves soil conditions. 

You will see first hand crops grown and the family behind our farm.

Interested in any of these topics? Let me know where to start.

Papa’s Pumpkin Patch

Local foods. I am going to be spending the next four of five weekends with small business owners from across North Dakota in a program I work with through my job. Many of these businesses sell North Dakota made foods. I will share Pride of Dakota stories, businesses and products. You can live anywhere to enjoy these stories. I also will share tips on utilizing local foods and try to define what I think encompasses the local foods movement.

We have recently purchased meat from two farmer friends to fill our freezer for the winter. Plus we have freshly hunted pheasant and venison. Definitely I will be sharing recipes! 

Bacon & Mushroom Quiche

    Definitely NEED the recipe to that bacon mushroom quiche! I’m thinking it’s a good one when having out of town visitors.

    NANOWRIMO for the blogger. ;o)

    I can’t decide what I’d like first. Recipes are good; but local foods and how farmers select their seed are right up there, too!

    Look forward to seeing what you post!

    Sounds great! I am wanting that quiche right now! I haven’t had power in 5 days from the hurricane. This laptop got charged at a friends yesterday. Some things I was wondering about is the seed selections, how your crops are used (I saw fields of sunflowers there on a visit as well as sugar beets) and know they must be turned into oil or sugar? How do they sell the crops etc. Can’t wait to try some country recipes etc. Enjoy your challenge!

    Due to EMD — not sure we will get any venison this season. Happy that your freezer is full!

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
