Summary

We are kicking off a new section in our series here in season 2 of The Productive Household. We are turning to different areas of our home. And the first we will be diving into is really thinking thoroughly about our kitchen. This new mini series will be a little bit theoretical big picture and a little bit every day practical! Let's dive in! Listen to the Podcast: You can find all the links and notes for this episode below! Right click here and save-as to download this episode to your computer. Have you ever thought through the goal of your kitchen? What is it you want in your kitchen? What do you want your kitchen to produce? And are those goals aligned with the stage and season of life you are in? With rising food prices, rising gas prices, and everything else rising, it's a very important time to think through: what the goal of your kitchen is? My goal: As much as I am able, with the food budget I currently have and the time I have, to eat an unprocessed traditional diet. My goal is to continually increase the quality of our food we make from scratch and move more and more of that food production to our own household. Within the next year, we want to be totally independent of grocery stores and be sourcing additional foods that we need on a monthly and weekly basis from local farms (i.e. soap from my friend who makes soap, raw milk from the farm, and eggs from another friend who keeps chickens). What this goal looked like at the very beginning: I started reading food labels. And I started just trying to cut out processed foods where I could. So back at the beginning, it just meant usually choosing a slightly healthier option at the grocery store. Looking for things that didn't have addd sugar, bad oils, or white flour. And slowly, that evolved into learning what ingredients are healthy and what aren't. It meant learning how to take real ingredients and learn to cook with them. It meant being able to read recipes that called for white sugar and vegetable oil and knowing that I could substitute extra virgin olive oil and raw honey instead. And slowly, it's meant a total transformation of my kitchen. What I want you to think through this week is: What are your goal(s) in your kitchen?  Links & Resources: Another terrific podcast to listen to: Bright Hearth Join our free community and join the discussion here: FindingJoyCommunity.com Our sponsor: Go to HelloFresh.com/homemaking65 and use code homemaking65 for 65% off plus free shipping.

Welcome to the Finding Joy in Your Home Podcast. I am your host, Jamie Valmay, and this is the podcast where we blend to deeply theological topics with thoroughly practical application, all for God's glory.

Hey, ladies, welcome back to season number two of the Finding Joy in Your Home podcast. I'm very glad you're joining me today. We are kicking off our next

0:22.5

little mini series in our productive household season two. So we're going to be kicking off kind of

0:31.0

the next portion, which is going to be really fun. So what we're going to be doing is we're going

0:35.3

to be turning to different areas of our home. So this might sound familiar to you because this part was a little bit inspired by the

0:45.7

BrightHearth podcast. So if you have not listened to BrightHearth, you're going to love it.

0:50.1

Head over, go listen to it, subscribe, binge all of their episodes, and go, just go listen to

0:57.1

them all. They are just entering season two of their podcast. And their show is awesome. And so what

1:01.6

they did in season one is they talked about this idea of having productive households quite a bit,

1:07.0

which is what inspired this season of the podcast, kind of having our focus being the

1:12.0

productive household. But what they did in their first season is they went around to different

1:18.0

rooms of the house and kind of talked about how we can have Christian households and how do we

1:23.7

have productive households that kind of revolve around each of these different areas of our lives?

1:29.3

Now, I'm not going to be doing the same thing they are, but I really liked that idea of kind of turning to different areas within our life and kind of drilling down in those areas.

1:38.3

So the first one that we're going to be really diving into and thinking thoroughly through is our kitchen.

1:45.3

And there's a couple of reasons for that.

1:47.4

The first being, I think the kitchen has a domino effect within your entire household.

1:53.1

We tend to not think of the kitchen as that important.

1:56.3

And yet I think the household and rhythms really revolve around the kitchen, either in good ways or bad

2:02.9

ways.

2:04.5

And if we're really intentional with our kitchen and the way we are setting it up for our

2:09.2

family's goals, then the kitchen can have a really huge impact, not only on our family,
