The immensely popular blogger behind Little House Living provides a
timeless and "heartwarming guide to modern homesteading" (BookPage)
that will inspire you to live your life simply and frugally-perfect
for fans of The Pioneer Woman and The Hands-On Home. Shortly after
getting married, Merissa Alink and her husband found themselves
with nothing in their pantry but a package of spaghetti and some
breadcrumbs. Their life had seemingly hit rock bottom, and it was
only after a touching act of charity that they were able to get
back on their feet again. Inspired by this gesture of kindness as
well as the beloved Little House on the Prairie books, Merissa was
determined to live an entirely made-from-scratch life, and as a
result, she rescued her household budget-saving thousands of
dollars a year. Now, she reveals the powerful and moving lessons
she's learned after years of homesteading, homemaking, and cooking
from scratch. Filled with charm, practical advice, and gorgeous
full-color photographs, Merissa shares everything from tips on
budgeting to natural, easy-to-make recipes for taco seasoning mix,
sunscreen, lemon poppy hand scrub, furniture polish, and much more.
Inviting and charming, Little House Living is the epitome of
heartland warmth and prairie inspiration.

“Nachos” or a Pitcher of Margaritas for the adults and Easy Shave Ice

straight off the grill like Curried Chickpea Flatbread with Fresh
Tomato Relish or Steak Fajitas with Chimichurri Avocados.

An experienced hand at lighting the f***ing way forward, Zach
Golden has curated and honed a collection of dishes that anyone,
even you, can make without screwing them up. From his first book,
where he approached a mundane everyday question of what to make for
dinner with the endless variety of a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure
novel, to two successive titles guiding the aimless masses towards
what to drink and what to do with their lives, Zach is the master
at telling other people what to do. This next concept marries
scaled-down kitchen techniques with satisfying outcomes, with a
heavy dose of profanity and deadpan humor. Chicken and Rice Soup,
Roasted Vegetable and Bacon Hash, Fennel, Sausage, and Arugula
Pasta, and more will deliver on meals-as long as you don't do
anything stupid like start a grease fire, cut off a finger, or
spill hot pasta water down your pants. Unless, as he says, you're
really, really dumb, they're Unfuckupable.
After writing and launching Good and Cheap, the cookbook with a
social purpose that has over 500,000 copies in print, Leanne Brown
went into a tailspin. She was burnt out and depressed, and fell
into a pattern of using guilt and fear to get herself back into
facing the day. Her dream of becoming a cookbook author was turning
into a nightmare. Something had to change. What changed, and how,
is the journey of Good Enough, a deeply personal cookbook with a
profoundly uplifting, relatable message. A generous mix of essays,
stories and nearly 100 dazzling recipes, Good Enough is about
self-compassion, and knowing it's OK to have a cheese plate for
dinner. About the practice of gratitude, and ten breakfasts to
start your morning right, like Creamy Hands-Off Scrambled Eggs.
About cooking as self-care, and healing your spirit with a
comforting Salmon Dinner Pie. About overcoming barriers like social
anxiety, and embracing entertaining with Smoky Honey Shrimp Tacos
with Spicy Fennel Slaw. About knowing it's hard but you're
completely worth it--and indulging yourself with My Spicy Umami
Noodles. About giving yourself permission to feel great--so go
ahead, have another Sticky Toffee Cookie. There are no judgments
here. And ultimately, it's about embracing the joy of imperfection
to find peace and happiness in and out of the kitchen. Because good
enough is great.
