El Gomeno Ranch

El Gomeno Ranch Welcome to our slice of paradise!! Here on the ranch the kids have almost all flown the coop so we have been filling up every inch with the animals we love.

It is not your ordinary ranch so to speak. I mean we do have some cows and horses but... as far as the cattle goes they are the most loved cuddle cattle in Missouri. That is right "Cuddle Cattle" our girls started out as bottle babies and at over 2 years old they still love to be loved. You can listed to the exotic sounds of our Peacocks yelling to the hens, an array of interesting chicken breeds.

Be greeted by our gentle giants the Irish Wolfhounds, and inspected by the corgis. Horses? Well that is the most normal thing we have except we barrel race on a short fat mare and she is HOT - we should have named her Seabiscuit but instead it is Blaze. We have good times out here down the dirt road and we love to share that time with others. Come on out the fire is always going

Easter morning looked a little different.

I had spent the morning making homemade noodles for chicken and noodles, using these beautiful eggs gifted by my girls. Somewhere between the flour, the eggs, and the memories, I cried a little.

All the firsts can feel a little overwhelming.
My first Easter without my mom.
My first Easter as a grandma.

Making chicken and noodles like Grandma used to felt like a hug from heaven. A little love, a little grief, and a whole lot of gratitude wrapped up in one simple meal.

Happy Easter (a few days late) from our farm to yours. 🤍

How to Read Olive Oil Labels (Without Overthinking It)
I can’t say I’ve cut all the bad things out of my life… but I do try to be mindful about what I bring in.
One thing I’ve started paying more attention to?
👉 Olive oil.
It can get confusing at the store, so here’s a simple way I look at labels:
🫒 1. Look for “Extra Virgin”
This is the least processed and best quality.
👉 It should be 100% olive oil *** nothing added***
2. Check Where It Comes From
You might see:
Single country (like Spain or Italy)
Or a blend of countries
👉 Neither is “bad” — I just like knowing what I’m getting
🏷️ 3. Read the Fine Print
Words matter:
“Extra Virgin” = good
“Light” or just “Olive Oil” = more processed
“Blend” = mixed with other oils sometimes
🕰️ 4. Look for Freshness
If you can find a harvest date, that’s even better 👏
If not, check the best by date and grab the newest one
🍾 5. Bottle Matters
I always grab:
✔️ Dark glass bottles
❌ Not clear plastic sitting in bright light

This one I grabbed is a great everyday cooking oil ... simple, just olives, no blends or extras.
Is it the fanciest one out there? No.
But it’s a solid choice for daily use, and that’s what works for me.
🌿 Bottom Line
I’m not trying to do everything perfectly —
just making better choices where I can.
And those small choices add up 🤍

We’ve been slowly adding fresh-milled flour into our cooking, and I’ll be honest there’s been a learning curve.

Starting with 100% fresh-milled flour had a much stronger, earthier flavor and a texture you won’t find on a store shelf. We also had to learn how moisture and rise work a little differently.

Some recipes feel more filling (pancakes especially!), so we’ve been experimenting, blending flours, sifting in different ways, and adjusting one recipe at a time instead of changing everything at once.

It’s reminded me that small, realistic changes, made gradually are often the ones that actually stick and support a balanced, healthy life. 🌾🤍

Turning one ingredient into many homemade staples. Doing what we can, where we are.

Slow food for a slow day.
Mixed beans, black-eyed peas, smoked turkey, kale, carrots—simmered low and long. Cornbread on the side.

🌾 New Year’s Eve on the ranch 🌾

We don’t have a big, flashy ranch — truthfully, we’re more of a small hobby farm. But this land, these animals, and the daily work keep us grounded, grateful, and humble.

As the year comes to a close, we’re thankful for the quiet moments, the lessons learned, and the simple life we get to live here. It may not look like much to some, but to us, it’s everything.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and safe New Year’s Eve 🤍

Is it even goulash if it doesn't accidentally feed a small army? 😂
I made a big ol’ pot of this Midwest classic—because my heart said “comfort food” but my brain forgot it always makes enough for 17 people.

Who else grew up on this stuff? Elbow noodles, ground beef, tomatoes, maybe a little cheese if you’re fancy… it’s not just a meal, it’s a memory.

So… who loves goulash?
And more importantly… who wants some? 🥄💛

☀️ First Day of Summer at El Gomeño Ranch — and these pups are soaking up every minute of it.

Tall grass, chasing butterflies, muddy paws, and learning that the hose is not their friend (yet). 🐾

We’ve got a few Irish Wolfhound puppies still looking for the right humans to grow with — ones who appreciate the chaos of summer, the peace of porch naps, and the joy of being followed everywhere by 40 pounds of fluff.

💛 Raised on the farm
💧 Introduced to water, animals, and wild children
🌾 Well-socialized and already spoiled

If you're ready for a summer sidekick who’ll grow into your shadow (and probably your couch), message us. These pups are ready for their next adventure.
