There won’t be a new post this week because Luke

There won’t be a new post this week because Luke and I are dealing with an unforeseen circumstance that happened during the blizzard this week. The pellet stove started on fire when the power surge/outage happened. It’s located in our living room. By the grace of God, everyone and everything is okay. No structural damage was done, but lots of smoke and chemical damage occurred in the living room. The aftermath is certainly not fun.

With that, I wanted to share this post I wrote last March about emergency preparedness. After the tornado of 2022 that struck in our area, I’m very passionate about being prepared for an emergency. While no two emergencies are the same, if you think that it won’t happen to you, I PROMISE IT WILL! When disaster strikes, you’ll be thankful for an emergency plan.

I’ll be back next week talking all about seed starting basics and tips to do it on a budget. Until then, check out my article and stay safe!

In case you can't tell, I love my pressure canner!

In case you can't tell, I love my pressure canner!! I wrote a post with a step-by-step guide on how to safely pressure can your own food. The tutorial walks you through canning dried beans.

Honestly, it's so easy!! Trust me, if I can do it, you can too! Share with anyone who wants to get started pressure canning today. Now is a great time to learn how before garden season starts. That way you're a pro when the harvest comes in hot n' heavy!
Happy canning!

🍲 Warm, earthy, and vibrantly pink! There is something so comforting about a big bowl of homemade beet soup (also known as Borscht) on a chilly day.

Not only is it visually stunning, but it’s packed with nutrients like vitamin C, fiber, and heart-healthy nitrates. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and savory, especially when topped with a dollop of sour cream and fresh dill. I love serving mine with a slice of crusty homemade bread to make it a full meal. Don't knock it 'til you try it! This soup is surprisingly delicious 😋

Skip the boxed stuff with all those dyes and artificial flavors! 🙅‍♀️

Plus it's just in time for Valentine's Day snacks!

🌟✨Exciting news I just have to share!🌟✨

🌟✨Exciting news I just have to share!🌟✨ I was recently published in a top ten list of thought leaders in the International Business Times, paving the way and reaching more people in the world of health and wellness rooted in traditional skills and self-sufficient living.

I've always loved reading and writing and in my later years videography and photography. The chance to marry my creativity with my hands-on traditional skills is a match made in heaven! I truly love writing about gardening and cooking from scratch and non-toxic living, all with the intention of making a positive difference in people's life.

That purpose definitely got lost in the last handful or more of years, but I always believed that was why God put me here. I wasn't always sure how I would make a difference, but I love that this online platform gives me an outlet. 2026 has only just begun and I'm excited to bring more content as the year carries on. Look for a #WisconsinWellnessWednesday series exclusive to my Instagram @beckybuttlesamericana, a Substack account with more in-depth articles, and a YouTube channel! And of course they'll be more blog posts with pretty pictures on my website.
