I made these (Beef Stroganoff) on Saturday from a Rose Red Homestead YouTube video. My grocery store had some rump roast marked down to $4.75/#.

About 16 pounds of pork shoulder, so I guess that makes it 2# per jar.

And here I thought I was doing good to find pork shoulder for $1.79/#!

I have my dad’s chili recipe that I made all the years my kids were growing up. Basically spaghetti sauce with beans, and chili powder instead of the 7 seasonings of my dad’s spaghetti recipe. When my youngest was the last one at home, I came upon a new chili recipe, which I made, and then...

No, I pressure canned them in my Presto. 👍🏻 I’m assuming the water turned orange from siphoning. (If that’s the correct term.)

I have to admit, when I come on here, I go to my watched threads first, and then to new posts. I hardly ever click on the home page or the page that has all the different forums and subcategories. But I did just now to try find the imported area, and since I don’t know what categories we already...

Biscuits are perfect with jelly! 😍

Blackberry jelly. Meijer had them on sale for 99 cents a pint so I got inspired. In the canner currently is Tart Cherry jelly. Everything was already out and this tart juice had been sitting in the fridge a while without anybody drinking much of it. I had gotten two bottles of it from the...

You got me wanting to make bread, but today I’m canning. Jelly. 🤔 Hm, I do need to make bread!

As soon as Christmas was over I contacted Presto, and it was a good thing because I hadn’t realized how early in January last year I had bought it. So I squeaked in just before the warranty expired. They sent me out a new pot right away. They did have a few questions for me to answer about how I...

Sweet potatoes I kind of cheated on the head space, so I guess I’ll see in the morning whether they all ping. The water in the canner is decidedly orange!

Grilled kielbasa. No sandals this time. Single digits out, so had to bundle up.

Ok before I posted a several year list of long term goals. I finally made a 2025 list. 1. Set up a “bulk” feeding and watering system for the chickens to streamline my daily chores and to make it possible to leave them for 3-4 days at a time for weekend trips. This would also allow longer trips...

Oh dear- I was hoping they grew out of that stage before they got to be teenagers! I doubt you would bore us! Even if it’s mundane things, it’s always interesting to see how people live in other countries. 😍

The secret to that is only going out for a few minutes at a time to check on progress and then going back in.

I wish I could wear my long sleeve shirts. I get hot in the house. DH will only put up with me turning the heat down to 68. 🥵

We had Cajun Linguine last night. Recipe calls for grilled sausage and chicken to be cut up and added to the sauce along with defrosted cooked shrimp. I love using my grill year round. Especially for bacon. Then there’s no grease mess in the house to clean up.

Lasagna is a huge favorite over here. I like to make extra and freeze it in single serving squares so anyone can have some whenever they want. Prime rib roast for dinner tonight. I scored an amazing markdown from a really nice sale price yesterday.

DH is planning to retire in 2027 when he turns 60. Then we hope to move to a more rural property. To that end, our 2024 goal was to clean out the basement by working on it for at least one hour every weekend throughout the winter. We stuck to that and made real progress, but there was still a...
