Homestead Recipes: The Coloring Cook Book Because sometimes the stew needs to simmer, and sometimes your brain does too. This isn’t your average cookbook. And it’s definitely not your average coloring book. This is what happens when a homesteader with too much rhubarb, a full pantry, and a drawer full of coloring pencils decides to turn his best recipes into something fun, useful, and a little bit therapeutic. Homestead Recipes: The Coloring Cook Book is part old-school recipe collection, part adult coloring book — made for folks who’d rather color a loaf of bread than scroll through food photos online. It’s full of real recipes I actually make here at the homestead, plus coloring pages for every one of them — three per recipe , all black-and-white and ready for your best crayons, markers, or whatever you’ve got lying around. And yes — it’s a full-sized 8.5" x 11" book , so you’re not squinting at tiny text or trying to cram color into a two-inch pie plate. There’s plenty of room to work with, whether you’re filling in a bubbling stewpot or scribbling outside the lines just because you can. 🥣 What’s Inside? You get 17 hearty, homestead-style recipes , including: Bread and Butter Pickles - Garden Vegetable Soup - Delicious Rhubarb Cake - Pizza Bite Biscuits - Fluffy Homemade Pancakes - Crock Pot Venison Stew - Soft M&M Cookies - Banana Breakfast Bars - 2-Hour Buns - Classic Pan-Fried Walleye …and more meals made from what’s in the garden, the bush, or the freezer. No fluff. No weird ingredients. Just honest food you can actually make in a real kitchen — the kind with cast iron, kids underfoot, and a dog hoping something hits the floor. ✏️ And the Coloring Part? Each recipe comes with three original coloring pages (that’s 51 in total), designed to match the recipe and rural lifestyle. We’re talking garden scenes, bubbling pots, fresh-baked biscuits, jars of pickles, pantry shelves, and the kind of warm, rustic details that make a person slow down and take a breath. These aren’t fancy, high-art illustrations — just good clean line drawings meant to calm your brain while the soup simmers or the buns rise. Whether you color every page or just use it as a break from chasing chickens or boiling jars, it’s time well spent. If you’re someone who cans in the summer, bakes in the winter, and colors in between — this book’s for you. Whether you’re out on the land like I am, or just dreaming about it from your apartment kitchen, Homestead Recipes brings a little bit of the rural rhythm to your day. So grab a pencil. Fire up the oven. And let’s get to it.
