The top 10 Reader's Choice posts for 2025, shows a clear path to a do it yourself lifestyle and a return to scratch cooked food for family meals. I am grateful for all the visits to Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household, because they not only bring a smile to my face, but keep me inspired to create, blog, and live this homestead life I have come to enjoy. I thank you from the bottom of my heart! And now, the Top 10 Reader's Choice posts for 2025...
Number 1. Whole Wheat Self-Rising Flour, the best pantry mix to keep on hand! This easy pantry mix is my go to-for so many things! And to make it easier for you to decide that you want this mix in your pantry, I have updated and added a recipe for a One Cup batch. Yep, make the Easy Oven Baked Whole Wheat Pancakes and you will be sold on getting a full batch made up, and tucked into your pantry!
2. How to Make a Homemade Wedge Pillow. This pillow is the way to go, so much more comfortable than a foam wedge (cheaper too if you already have pillows laying around) . It's not hard, and you can make it as big as you need.
3. White Beans with Ground Beef and Tomato Sauce. My dad's favorite beans! Simple, rustic and delicious.
4. Dutch Potatoes. I never met a potato I didn't like, but I love these potatoes!
5. Mark Bittman's Mango and Black Bean Salad. This hit the top 10 for the first time. But it is a Mark Bittman recipe and quite the one to keep in mind, when you have a can of black beans on the shelf and a mango in the fruit bowl.
6. How to Make Your Own Gritty Calcium Supplement for Backyard Chickens. How about a free supplement for your backyard birds?
7. Mary's Raw Apple Cake. My mom's favorite cake! Like my dad's beans, you will find many family recipes here on the blog, and it is quite touching both my parents are part of the Top 10 for 2025.
8. Old Fashion Custard. But made so easy in your Instant Pot or even stop top pressure cooker!
9. Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Granola. Another food memory developed into a delicious recipe! Remember when Pop Tarts first came out and landed on the grocery store shelves? I do and this granola is the result of that memory...
10. Cottage Apple Salad. This easy, yet delicious salad was developed when we were NPS volunteers and had tiny grocery stores with limited choices to shop at. But good food is simply that, good! I also make this for breakfast and enjoy it with a slice of buttered toast...
