I like that name 'A Big Ole Pot of Happy'. I love to make soups especially when cold weather sinks in. It was 18 degrees a couple of mornings ago and I made a pot of cheeseburger soup. It barely made it until lunch time. DH has been hinting about broccoli and cheese soup. I also need to make a...
Thanks for the information. I've always wondered about freeze drying. The appliance is so high I can't see ever getting one. I've been drying lemons and onions in my dehydrator. At the price of the little cheap Wally World dehydrator I guess I will stick with that.
My favorite green tomato is green tomato pickles.
I canned 15 half-pint jars of strawberry preserves. I'm trying to can up some of the freezer reserves to make some room. Right now it is bursting at the seams with all the produce I got this spring and summer.
Our church got another truckload of produce, yellow squash, zucchini, lemons, and cantaloupe. I canned all the squash and zucchini except for what I cooked for supper. Not recommended way but the way I like it for frying later. I dehydrated some of the lemons but I still have plenty. I might...
When we were kids we would rub black walnut green hull juice on ring worms which cured them right up. I've been picking up pecans from the back yard but the squirrels have got most of them. Never thought about shooting the squirrels for pre shelled ones. Of course we can literally see the...
I've made the copycat Baby Ray's barbecue sauce which is really good. I keep telling DH I'm going to can a few jars. I never have bothered but it would be nice. The Wildbunch can eat anything with barbecue sauce baked on or dipped in it, lol.
Oh my goodness I've been busy canning. My church has once again blessed us with produce. I've canned 48 jars, quarts mostly of tomatoes, 28 quarts of potatoes, a few pints of potatoes, 10 quarts of French onion soup, a few pints of the same, 3 quarts of okra and 1 pint (I wished there was more)...
I have painted in the past but the Wildbunch have lost all my art supplies. I'm thinking I might take it up again. I've been wanting to do a pen and ink of the old courthouse around the corner or maybe our church or both.
I've saw regular frozen, shredded hash browns dehydrated. I think it's probably Linda's Pantry (again not me, another Linda). It could be cheaper to do it yourself.
I have no critters or garden for profit but I did sell no-bake chocolate peanut butter cookies to raise money for our church to buy a van to pick up people who don't drive. Since a few other members have hit me up to help. I didn't take anything for supplies or my time considering it more of an...
So do you make it with oat milk? I've often made rice milk to add to cooking or baking. Just boil a cup of rice with about a quart of water and blend the crap out of it. Strain if you please. When my grandson was sick with diarrhea I gave him this to drink. I added a little vanilla and him and...
Last night we had frozen pizza for supper and tonight chili dogs with canned chili. I'm thinking of just laying all of it in a 9 x 10 pan and topping with cornbread batter and baking.
All I have is a housefull of the two-legged kids. I got rid of my chickens so it's down to one little diva chihuahua afterall her name is Princess. This is a fun place to hang out and learn all kinds of interesting things. Come share with us.:welcome
