***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out new videos every week! We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

Thank you.. Also what kind of nuts?

[@coramdayo]

@@jeremiahbullfrog9288 You can really use several different kinds of nuts but I think that one's it with a higher fat content are probably better. Pine nuts are traditional but about $30 a pound so I don't do those. Sara is using walnuts. And you can also use unsalted macadamia nuts.

One if the tastiest ways to eat zucchini, in my opinion, is to slice it into rounds, put parmesean cheese on each round and heat in oven until brown and bubbly. Yum! 😋

[@cindy-ki8ex]

I use the larger zucchini in the spiral cutter. It takes out the middle and it stays in the cutter so that is the waste. I like the ruching better too. I finally pla Ted enough basil this year to make my own pesto. Thanks for the recipe.
