Learn Homesteading Food Production From eBooks

I am working on putting together a list of eBooks you can buy at Amazon for your kindle or other readers. If you do not have your own reader or kindle, here is a FREE app that is available at Amazon's Kindle store for you to download. Then you can buy or get free books in the kindle store!

Free Kindle Apps

An eBook that I bought today and can't wait to look through! From basic pickling to fermenting.

The Trapper's Bible: Traps, Snares & Pathguards
I thought this book sounded like a good addition to a homesteader or prepper's library. Knowledge that you need in case of emergency conditions.

Basic Butchering of Livestock & Game
A book for anyone who is raising livestock, regardless of your experience.

Honeybee: Lessons from an Accidental Beekeeper
This eBook is about honeybees and raising bees. Just from what I read about this book, I may buy it myself for my kindle, and I don't even raise bees. Just from a curious standpoint.

The Healing Powers of Honey
I have always believed in the healing power of honey. If you research honey you will find that it does, indeed, have healing powers.

If you are thinking of trying to garden in containers, then this book is exactly what you are looking for! Even though I have plenty of raised beds, I use containers also. This book is one of the best for container gardens.

Put 'em Up!: A Comprehensive Home Preserving Guide for the Creative Cook, from Drying and Freezing to Canning and Pickling
Step-by-step instructions for the newest canner, as well as the experienced ones. This canning book is on my list for my next purchases, as I cannot resist the promise of the newest canning recipes.

Vertical Gardening and Container Gardening - Ideas for Growing Vegetables and Herbs In Small Vertical Places Outdoors and Indoors
This book, I bought myself this morning, as I have been wanting to garden in less space by going up. I haven't read it yet, but am hoping to find some good ideas I can use.

Easy Homemade: Homemade Pantry Staples for the Busy Modern Family
I am a advocate of cooking from scratch and this book will get you started.



I hope these eBooks will get you started on your homestead, self-reliance and learn how to grow and preserve your own produce. It is a challenge, but once you start, I think you will like it!

Cookbooks For Your Kindle

My Kindle Fire! I love it!

It has been over four months since I got my new Kindle Fire. Do I still love it? Yes! I do! Very much so. Every night, I read before going to bed and it is what I look forward to every evening. Sometimes I read out loud to my husband. Many times though, he falls asleep, so I just read to myself. There are many books on Amazon for free every day, so if you have a Kindle, you probably already know that. If you aren't a Kindle owner, you may want to download the Free Kindle Reading Apps from Amazon, that makes it possible for you to read Kindle books on your computer.

I have had people asking me for cookbooks for their kindles, so here is a list of some books I have found. These are NOT free books! You can find those on Amazon, but they change daily. Hope these cookbooks will give you an idea of some of the great books available for the Kindle.

More Make It Fast, Cook It Slow: 200 Brand-New, Budget-Friendly, Slow-Cooker Recipes - This book is written by Stephanie O'Dea, who is a blogger and is very popular. Her blog is at Stephanie O'Dea.

The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet - This book is written by Robb Wolf who has a website at Robb Wolf and also writes a blog. He apparently has quite the reputation. I read some interesting reviews and testimonials about this Paleo Diet. It sound close to low carb but not exactly. Allows fruit, but not dairy..........I want both!

Casseroles - Best Recipes from Club, Church and Community Cookbooks - This book is full of good casserole recipes, as well as written and formatted outstandingly.  I know this because one of the reviews I read of this book, a reviewer commented on that fact. I love casseroles and will be adding this book to my kindle as soon as I add my gift card to my account at Amazon.

  The Happy Herbivore Cookbook - This cookbook written by Lindsay Nixon is a cookbook for a healthy vegan diet. Some of the reviews I read about this book, state that it doesn't matter if you are vegan or not, that the recipes will suit anyone who wants to eat healthy.

  Edible Wild Plants (The Wild Food Adventure) - This book is not exactly a cookbook, but does give directions on how to identify, cook and eat the edible wild plants. Written by John Kallas, PhD, who has a website at Wild Food Adventures for more information.

The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier (Enhanced) - Who has not heard of The Pioneer Woman? Ree Drummond writes a blog at The Pioneer Woman, where she writes about her life on an Oklahoma ranch. Excellent!

  30 Delicious Refrigerator Cake Recipes - Icebox cakes and desserts were popular when I was growing up in the 50's. My mother made them often. This cookbook written by Lori Burke includes how to cut the calories in the recipes. A good collection of easy to make cakes!

Quick-Fix Southern: Homemade Hospitality in 30 Minutes or Less - This book is written by Rebecca Lang, who writes for Southern Living magazine. I grew up in the south so liked the idea of a cookbook that shortens southern recipes for quicker preparation. No pictures, but I'd rather have more recipes and less photos on my kindle.

  Easy, Fabulous Bread Making: A collection of quick, no-knead, homemade bread recipes - Written by Barbara Mack, this book gives you the recipes for making no-knead bread, which is just what I wanted. Thank you, Barbara Mack! I can't wait to try it!

1001 Low-Carb Recipes: Hundreds of Delicious Recipes from Dinner to Dessert That Let You Live Your Low-Carb Lifestyle and N - This cookbook is written by one of very favorite authors, Dana Carpender! Her books have been essential to my low carb way of eating. This book is a compilation of her other books. She probably wanted to make it easier for us Kindle owners (and she did!). Her recipes are REAL food for a low carber! If you are searching for a way to get out of the rut of meat and salad (which is what I did), then check out Dana's book. You can also check out her website at Hold The Toast!


I think I will be doing this as a feature on my blog every Saturday. Highlighting some kindle books for my readers. Hope this helps you find some good kindle books. If there is a type of book you are looking for,  leave a comment or contact me using my contact me form. Thanks for reading!
