We may live in BFE, but we still love hot, crunchy, delicious onion rings. No delivery? Make it yourself, we do!
Recipe:
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 large egg
Whisk all ingredients in a bowl. Let stand while you cut rings. We prefer sweet onions like Vidalia, but any large onion can be used. Peel One large onion. Slice into 1/4" slices. Separate rings. put bread crumbs on a flat plate. Prepare a rack with a tray underneath to drain coated rings before dredging in break crumbs. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or wax paper.
1. coat each raw onion ring with batter and place on the rack to drain using ONE hand. Transfer the coated rings to the breadcrumbs and lightly cover with bread crumbs with your other hand. Place encrusted rings onto the cookie sheets without them in contact with each other. Place in the freezer long enough to completely freeze. Once frozen, remove from the cookie sheets and put into zip lock bags and return to freezer.
To cook:
heat oil to 350 degrees F. Place onion rings into hot oil. turn once to brown both sides. Cook time should be around 2 minutes per side. Drain well and place on an absorbent towel.

We decided a year ago to try growing greens and other vegetables in our greenhouse over the winter. We happy to report that we are successful growing them in our greenhouse!
Irene and Henry have been living off grid full time since 2005 on a 43 acre off grid homestead in the high desert of Northern Arizona. Situated at 5280′ elevation, we enjoy four seasons of beautiful scenery and weather about 60 miles south of the Grand Canyon.
We grow most of our green beans, peppers, yellow beans, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, squash, garlic, and herbs. Specialty crops like asparagus, sun chokes, and lavender are supplemented by foraged foods including wild ground cherries, prickly pear, and other native plants.
Electricity is made using solar panels and one 400W wind generator. We power our buildings in two groups: Irene's studio by itself, and house infrastructure: house, greenhouse, and workshops.
Thanks for joining us on our continuing journey.
Take care.
Henry & Irene
