Handmade and Homegrown by Mrs. G

A blog about cooking, gardening, sewing, and DIY projects in our home

Author: Kelly Gabrielski

I am a wife and stay-at-home-mom to the most adorable little boy in the world. I enjoy cooking, crafting, reading, hiking, yoga, and doing anything active. Our family recently moved to sunny California and are enjoying every minute of it.

Roasted Delicata Squash with Fennel, Pistachio and Pomegranate Seeds

This is a go- to Fall recipe for me. I make it often. Delicata squash is my absolute favorite and I love that you can roast it with the skin on (less work). The delicata squash softens up when roasted, and the shaved raw fennel adds texture. The vegetables are tossed with a simple vinaigrette made… Read More Roasted Delicata Squash with Fennel, Pistachio and Pomegranate Seeds

Baked Apple Chips

Toddlers eat often. As in all day long. Lucky for me I love meal prep. Meals at home are easier because you don’t have to worry about getting a little messy, but I have a more trouble packing snacks  while we are out. I tend to bring the same things (a piece of fruit, cheese,… Read More Baked Apple Chips

Four Ingredient Homemade Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is one of those things you buy in the grocery store and don’t give a second thought. You probably never considered making it yourself. Maybe you use those fresh peanut butter machines where they grind the peanuts right in front of you, but I’ve never been happy with the gritty texture. For really good… Read More Four Ingredient Homemade Peanut Butter

English Muffins from Scratch (No Shortening)

I feel like our family repeats the same few breakfast items over and over again. I’m bored with our morning go-tos, so I’ve been brainstorming new ideas lately. One of our fall favorites is pumpkin buckwheat pancakes (recipe to come), but today we had English muffins with butter and jam. I don’t buy English muffins… Read More English Muffins from Scratch (No Shortening)

Viva Paper Towel Method

Our son recently turned one, which officially means he’s a toddler. We hosted his birthday party at the Annenberg Beach House and enjoyed the sand, water, and sun with some wonderful people. We ordered lunch from Bay Cities, but I wanted to try make the cake myself. Baking things seems more personal to me. I… Read More Viva Paper Towel Method

DIY Fabric Pennant Banner

This is a great project, even for a beginner. If you can cut triangles and sew in a straight line, you have all the skills you need. I prefer sewing it, but you could use Stitch Witchery in a pinch. We hung ours in our son’s nursery as a solution to a blank wall (we aren’t… Read More DIY Fabric Pennant Banner

If you want to impress your friends, invite them over to enjoy some of this homemade ricotta cheese. It is very simple to make and once you try it, you’ll never buy it in a store again. We like to add a dollop of ricotta onto crusty bread, then finish it with a drizzle of… Read More Homemade Ricotta Cheese

Two Minute Sensory Bottle with Everyday Items

This DIY project is so easy it’s laughable. You can make it in two minutes with items you likely have in your pantry. Baby toys and activities don’t need to be complicated or expensive. Here’s how you make it: Step 1: Gather your supplies – Empty water bottle, label removed (I used coconut oil to… Read More Two Minute Sensory Bottle with Everyday Items

Ultra Hydrating Homemade Body Butter

We often forget that our skin is our largest organ. Everything we put on our skin can be absorbed into the body. Maybe you eat organic, whole foods. You drink water, exercise, and get eight hours of sleep. If you haven’t taken a serious look at your beauty routine though, now is the time. Here… Read More Ultra Hydrating Homemade Body Butter
