Welcome to Heritage Ways
where all Diligent Homemakers are invited to come in, sit a spell and make yourselves at home. Here, we offer grace to all as well as a cup of coffee or tea.
My heart has always been at home. I love sharing what I have learned in my 58+ years of loving homemaking.
Do you have a heart for home? I’m willing to bet that you are a Diligent Homemaker like I am.
A Diligent Homemaker does the best she can with what she has and where she is. She loves to cook from scratch (or is learning.) However, sometimes she is so tired and busy that it is just easier to open a box of macaroni and cheese. And THAT’S okay! She is doing the best she can. I am, too! What about you?

I’d love to help you get supper on the table with family favorite recipes by sending you an entire chapter of my most popular cookbook. If you’d like to share your birthdate, I’ll send you a gift to honor your special day. Always remember to count your blessings because YOU are loved.
Meet Mrs. Katie
Mrs. Katie of Heritage Ways educates and encourages Diligent Homemakers by sharing her family’s homemaking and homesteading traditions and knowledge. A mother of six and Grandmarmee to a growing number of blessings, her favorite thing to do is cook for a table full of hungry folks. Find Mrs. Katie teaching at homemaking and homesteading events as well as online at HeritageWays.com, @heritagewayskatie Instagram and YouTube. She’ll be the one wearing an apron and counting her blessings.

Explore Our Heritage Recipe Index
The heritage of food and its specific preparations can be passed down from one generation to another if only we’ll take the time to do so. Does just the simple smell of baking bread or bubbling stew bring back a specific memory for you? What about an apple spice cake? Since my cookbooks double as heirlooms for our children, you’ll find bits of family history peppered throughout the recipes. Our Heritage Recipe Index makes it easy for you to search our archives of so many delicious recipes.
