In this podcast episode, I’m thrilled to be chatting with a long-time friend, Lisa Bass.
Lisa talks about how she lived the farm life while living in town. How she cooked like a homesteader before she even owned a farm.
And Lisa and I delve deep into a topic that has always been a thorn in my side. Lisa breaks down the secrets behind her meal planning, how she’s developed a system of routines that works well for her large family. We chat about our family’s staple meals. And Lisa shares numerous great tips, not to mention a few secret weapons too.
And be sure to hop over to Lisa’s podcast—Simple Farmhouse Life—for the rest of our conversation today.
