I heard Katie and her husband discussing this idea on their podcast, and I was intrigued by the thought that maybe a problem we face as homemakers is not that we don’t have enough time, but that we have too much of it. In our conversation, Katie and I look at how modern conveniences save us time but have presented us with new challenges in terms of productivity and efficiency. We hope this episode leaves you feeling encouraged that you can get things done with kids around, you can learn new skills, and you can become the kind of homemaker you dream of being. Join us!

In this episode, we cover:

  • Being intentional as mothers of large families
  • How modern convenience has presented us new challenges
  • Filling up our time with soul satisfying pursuits
  • Can you really get stuff done with little kids around?
  • Avoiding boredom in motherhood and choosing fulfilling activities instead
  • The freedom of keeping a simplified home
  • Discerning what homemaking tasks are worth our time
  • Overcoming the mental barrier of learning new skills

Simple Farmhouse Life - 5. Cast iron in the kitchen- I could never live without it!
play

01/16/20 • 27 min

Cast iron has been my skillet of choice for many years now. There are only two things that get better with age in the kitchen. One is cast iron and the other is homemade sourdough starter!

WHY CAST IRON IS BETTER THAN NONSTICK

Reason #1, of course, is it doesn’t have all the bad stuff. Nonstick pans are coated with a carcinogenic chemical called perfluorooctanoic acid. Not only does it leech into the food when cooked at high temperatures, but also produces toxic fumes in the air. Not to be overly dramatic, but you need to get that stuff out of your house ASAP.

Although the health concerns with nonstick was what drew me to using cast iron in the first place, the ease and beauty with which they cook kept me coming back for more. A perfectly fried egg, potatoes so crispy you can hear the crunch, a carmelized sear on a roast to seal in all those delicious juices...I mean, if you aren’t cooking with cast iron is it even cooking? Give me that 20 pound skillet that gets better with use every. single. time. If I go on vacation, and the condo has a flimsy nonstick and a plastic spatula, I cook like I have one hand. Totally handicap.

Cast iron’s where its at, my friends.
