Hi there! I'm Lottie, and I'm passionate about helping you create delicious, wholesome meals that won't break the bank. As a homesteader in Central Texas, I've spent years perfecting family recipes and developing affordable alternatives to store-bought staples. My journey in the kitchen led me to write Homemade Mixes from the Hearth, where I share my favorite seasoning blends and mix recipes I've developed over years of cooking for my family.

Living on our working homestead has taught me the importance of food preservation and making the most of pantry ingredients. When I'm not in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes or preserving the season's bounty, you'll find me spending time with my husband Perry, enjoying moments with our children and grandchildren, or working on various homestead projects. I believe that good food brings families together, and I'm here to share my generations of kitchen wisdom with you!
