Yes, you can can meat! That sentence seems very weird :) Here is a good site with instructions on how to can meat and pretty much everything else. www.simplycanning.com

I clean my microwave by placing a bowl of water with lemon juice and baking soda in and nuking for about 3 minutes. It creates steam and that always seems to cause drips from the vent holes. I then use the mixture to wipe down everything...once it cools off a little! If that doesn't work the...

It must be something in the air!! I bought the necessary ingredients and plan to spend tomorrow cooking in double batches!! My kids like freezer waffles and eggs/meat burritos. I need to plan out some menus and try the once a month cooking, it would be so helpful once it busy for me at work...

Pre-toasted marshmallows?? You might be on to something!!!

Kroger has a few goodies on sale this week!! Sonya apples 10lbs for $10 Bragg Organic ACV 2 for $6 Since my ACV experiment didn't work out as expected I will be stocking up. I am planing a batch of Fire Cider Tonic and I have 15 hens to keep healthy this winter.

I know the experts say to drink any juiced fruit/veggies right away or you'll risk losing nutrients...however, I don't have the time or inclination to drag my juicer outta the pantry everyday. So, I am gonna experiment a little!! I juiced a ton of apples, 1 large pineapple, 1 papaya, 1lb of...

It is a new machine and I have no clue about juicing!! I just grabbed what I had laying around to "give it a go". I think I just watched the infomercial a little too much!! I read thru the recipe book and am a little wary of the green juices but figure I can use apple or pineapple to mask the...

Hubby got me a Jack Lalane juicer...I've been talking about it all year!! I also got LED under cabinet lighting for my cave..I mean my kitchen. Now I'll be able to see what I juice! Kids chipped in and bought a huge set of glass food storage containers. Buh-Bye nasty plastic!! Oldest DD...

I too got a juicer for Christmas!! I tried a combo of 1 spear of pineapple, 2 apples, 5 baby carrots(it's all I had) and 1 green pepper. I wasn't able to detect the pepper outright but the rest of the family did. I thought it was pretty tasty, even though it was a bit thick. As for the...

We have a fake tree that's about 5 1/2 ft tall. The kids are complaining that it's too small now that they're as tall as it is!! Growing up we used to trek out to a tree farm and cut one down until one year we got a tree with flea eggs on it. Needless to say it took months to rid the animals...

I have the problem of a DH who "gets" the SS lifestyle and why it is important to provide for ourselves but he's not good for more than the talking/planning aspect or when he does work out a project it's rarely seen thru to the end!! Boy can he talk a good game!! "We need to enlarge the...

I like the scratch off lotto ticket idea!! I decided on a jar of my apple butter a quart jar with an apple muffin mix that I made (only had to buy dried apples) and I found a small pine scented candle for $1. Not sure the total given most of the things I had here at home but no more that $7...

I don't know if it'll be for a guy or gal so I was leaning towards a basket with homemade goodies. My garden was a failure this year and the only thing I have canned that would be gift worthy is a little apple butter. So maybe some apple butter and a bread mix in a jar?

There are several families in our 4-H group that I know we'd be able to turn to for assistance and they know they could turn to us as well. More for an exchange of knowledge and service than for an exchange of goods. Our only neighbor is an older man who is very wary about lending help. He's...

I have to attend a work related Christmas party on Thursday and just found out there is a gift exchange with a $5 max. I need ideas!!! :idunno I work for a church run camp and it's one of three in the area. The party is for all three camps which means, I only know the 4 other folks who work...

I watched the entire video. I do think the scenarios were depicted with much bias, as any organization would do. However, the intrusion of the government into my home, into my children's lives is unacceptable. I suspect our founding fathers didn't see it as necessary to include wording that...

Don't forget breath mints!!!

It was super yummy and no one is green....yet!!! :lau

Modern science can be a wonderful thing, however.....I think they've played up the whole" germs are bad" issue a little much. My cousin wouldn't let anyone touch her kids unless they douched themselves in hand sanitizer first and wiped every surface of her house with bleach non-stop. Her kids...
