The Prairie Kitchen Cookbook
is written by Kayla Lobermeier who is best known for her cottagecore blog and social media channels, Under a Tin Roof. Lobermeier and her mom Jill Haupt run Under a Tin Roof together and share their adventures running a flower farm and living life together as a multigenerational household in southeast Iowa, where Haupt and her husband share a farmhouse with Lobermeier and her husband and the Lobermeier children.

Before even opening the book. I was impressed by how pretty the book is. It is definitely a book that makes me happy to walk by and see! But I also liked the recipes, which sound delicious and yet also practical. I hope to eventually try many of the recipes, but I started with the biscuits, because I have tried baking biscuits so many times in the past but always failed. I honestly expected to fail again, but they actually turned out awesome!

Being successful at baking homemade biscuits after seriously years of trying and failing makes me even more excited to keep trying the recipes in this book, and I'll try to update with more pics once I do!


Where to Buy The Prairie Kitchen Cookbook

The Prairie Kitchen Cookbook is available nationwide as of June 13th, 2023. You can buy (affiliate link ahead!) the Prairie Kitchen Cookbook on Amazon or almost anywhere books are sold. 


Update: I tried a few more recipes from the book and they were delicious too! I made the Cranberry, Walnut, and Goat Cheese Salad with Sweet Cream Dressing, and the Pesto Chicken Panini with Chipotle Mayo:

The Ranch KC offers family-friendly KC BBQ in Belton, MO

UPDATE: The Ranch KC closed in spring 2026. I am leaving my review up for now in case people are still curious about what it was like. You can check out more of my KC faves here. On a recent trip to Kansas City, I had the opportunity to visit a new restaurant, The Ranch KC, and I was so impressed I wanted to share about it with all of you! My former hometown of Kansas City is one of my favorite travel destinations, not just because I love seeing my family and friends there, but also because there are great places to play, shop, eat, and explore. And The Ranch KC is definitely going on my list of great little places to eat in the KC area for future trips too! The Ranch KC is at its heart a barbeque restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere and lots of kid-friendly options, so I definitely recommend it as a great way to get some KC BBQ, especially if you're visiting the area with kids.  Where is The Ranch KC? The Ranch KC is located at 17207 S US Hwy 71 in Belton, ...
