What recipe did you use? (If you dont mind sharing) Im wanting to start making soap, but am a little overwhelmed with the recipe options out there! We have 2 goats that will be producing next spring so I am wanting to get ready with goats milk soap recipes!

The stove produces enough heat to boil small quantities of water, but not a large pot. I can get a large stock pot to a low simmer...and I usually do that at night to produce some moisture in the air.

This is a picture of the wood stove we have...

We have a wood burning stove that I LOVE in the winter!! We only turned on our heater one time last year and it was when we were gone for a few days (didnt want the pipes to freeze). I love to cook soups and stews on the stove as well as eggs and bacon...pretty much anything in a skillet or...

After alot of research and alot of "pros and cons" lists...I found a convection oven on sale 20% off , so I went ahead and got the convection oven. I am thrilled with it!! It really isnt that loud at all and it does cook faster! My bread is much more evenly browned and my casseroles cook quickly...

I picked another 20 lbs of potatoes yesterday from the garden!! Im so excitted!!! I still cant decide if Im going to can these (since the last time was super easy) or if Im going to try something new and save them "as is". I had a blast with the potatoes though...the whole time I was in suspense...

Thank you so much everyone!

I have a ton of spearmint and was wanting to can some simple syrups...I also love spearmint with lime, would it be ok to can it? I cant find any recipes for it and Im sure im not the first one to try this but I havent been canning that long so I wanted some advice! Have you tried this? Any...

So true!!

Yeah! It was super easy!

I dug up 3 of my 16 potato plants and am doing my first attempt at canning!!:weee

That's a great method! I wish I had a basement!!

Love it! I'm super excited about canning potatoes npw!!!

How many jars does 50 lb come out too?

Good to know!!! I was told full sun...or read it somewhere! Glad I did a little more research before ruining all those potatoes
