Welcome!
Grasshopper Homestead is for the woman who feels drawn to the wisdom of the past, but still has to live faithfully in the responsibilities of the present. Here, we recover old-fashioned homemaking skills, simple household routines, pantry wisdom, rural living principles, and Christian rhythms of stewardship — not to recreate another era, but to build a steadier, more peaceful, more capable home today. This is a place for women who want to slow the hurry, reduce the overwhelm, and cultivate a home that is rooted in grace and ready for real life.

Salmon Patties

Here is another favorite recipe. 

Salmon Patties
 
1 can salmon, undrained
1/2 c. flour (use white rice flour to make gluten free)
1-1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
1/4 c. cornmeal

1/4 c. milk
1 egg
1 T. lemon juice
1 T. dried onion flakes (optional)
1 T. dried parsley (optional)

Combine all ingredients.  Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, form patties and cook in hot fat in skillet on stovetop.  Alternatively, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and form patties on it.  Spray tops of patties with cooking spray and place in oven.  Turn patties over about halfway through cooking time.  The patties will not brown as well in the oven, but they are healthier.  For a more browned appearance, place the patties briefly under the broiler for the last few minutes of cooking.
