Welcome to Milk Glass Home!
This blog takes you behind the scenes in my suburban homestead. Here, I share tips to help anyone, anywhere, live a more self-sufficient lifestyle. You’ll find lots of tips, recipes, and projects to help you slow down and live with the seasons.
I love sharing food preservation recipes, desserts, tasty side dishes, and delicious home-cooked meals to help you nourish your family! I love milling flour at home, baking with whole grains, and helping others do the same.
If you’ve been craving a slower, old-fashioned lifestyle (with modern conveniences), you’re in the right place!
New & Updated
Hi, I’m Rachael!
I started Milk Glass Home & Kitchen in 2020 as a way to share my seasonal recipes, food preservation projects, and sourdough creations.
Every recipe is made from scratch in my kitchen, and I always have a few too many projects going on at any time. I love reviving old-fashioned skills, like canning, dehydrating, and milling grains, and sharing them with the world!
Seasonal Slow Food Recipes
As a passionate home cook, I love to share seasonal recipes to help you explore your own creativity in the kitchen! The best part is that you don’t need a ton of space to bake the best apple crisp or even start canning!
I’m especially passionate about using homegrown or seasonal ingredients and preserving food. These are a great way to look at your ingredients differently and preserve fresh flavors for later!
