If you are talking red bell peppers - no. Red, yellow, orange and green bell peppers are all off limits for me. Chile peppers are OK in small amounts. I am glad to still be able to eat the chile peppers. They add so much flavor to food. Anaheim are my favorite right now - low heat (500 to...

I found a recipe for stuffed cabbage that I might try. It looks like a meat loaf mixture wrapped in a single cabbage leaf. I love cooked cabbage. This would be entirely for me, DH doesn't do cabbage. I wonder if I could add shredded cabbage to the meat mixture or would it be better to use a...

When we ordered a half of beef, the first time we did what they called the "standard" cut-up. The next year we adjusted it to our likes, for instance, we received rib steaks the first year, the next year I mentioned that we really didn't like the rib steaks and was there something else - yep...

I use very little sugar when I make cranberry juice, so I will slowly use it up as cooking liquids. Cranberry oatmeal with tart cherries is very good. Used some to make sugar free orange jello, color was a bit funky but it tasted good, lol I calculated it out, just about 12g sugar per cup of...

Last night we had tenderloin steak, onions & mushrooms, mashed potatoes and french bread. Delicious! Whole tenderloins are on sale for $9.99 per pound, pretty good value there. My favorite steak is sirloin and that is over $16/lb now! New York strip steaks were $21/pound.

First thing the nutritionist told me when I went in to see what a diabetic should and should not eat is "No Juice". Eating fruit is ok but drinking fruit juice - even fresh squeeze - is a no go. So, now I eat fruit whenever I can, and I no longer have to buy orange juice. If DH wants orange...

Tighten the rings finger tight - for my husband I tell him that would mean USE ONLY YOUR FINGERTIPS to tighten it down, do not let your palm touch the jar at all. He tends to crank down on stuff like there is no tomorrow. He actually has made a permanent dent in the seal of his ARTIC insulated...

Last night was not Chili - we had steamed Haddock with green beans and a pasta side. Tonight will be Chili. I have it started already.

We have a battery push mower for the "detail" work around our place. I have a real hard time starting mechanicals with a pull cord. They hate me I swear. So DH bought this one with me in mind. The problem is that it is so light that I have a hard time keeping the front wheels on the ground...

I had to teach DH how to open the bags of chicken feed - he was cutting the tops off, lol. The feed we buy has a paper strip under the stitching to indicate which string to pull.

Last night was Chicken Stew with Chive Biscuits. Tonight will be Chili.

I have one like this - only with red/orange floats. It has a wheel that attaches to help move it from truck bed to water's edge and has a place to attach a trolling motor. Haven't used it too much, but I will get use out of it. DH always wants to troll for walleyes when we go fishing, I...

Wisconsin has a large farm for inmates to work at. They run a dairy that supplies milk to Wisconsin and Minnesota correctional institutions. Have been doing the farm for many, many years. I think the USDA program is set up by naive people with the good intention of using the sites as an...

One of the dangers of leaving a lot of fat in there is that it will get between the jar and the lid and prevent a good seal. The chicken broth that I canned ended up with a thin layer of fat on it after cooling, and I had one jar that did not seal. Other reasons to remove most of the fat from...

Less red. More of a red blush on the apples.

That may be it! The description is pretty close, though it is more of a yellow/green apple with red stripes and it is best the first week of August, not October. To eat fresh, it has to be slightly underripe - a more green undertone than a yellow look to it. When ripe (turns yellow) it is...

@CrealCritter Do you have an automatic door for your coop? If so, what kind did you buy?

My chickens love grape leaves.

Here in NE Wisconsin, we count everything that you can hang a ring on, lol. I would prefer to shoot a doe than a buck, because the doe tastes better without the rut hormones. My saying is "you don't eat the rack". lol The one set of horns that I have, I mounted myself and hang in my sewing...

Do I need to blanch sweet corn before dehydrating it? I have some that I bought that is old and starchy so I want to dehydrate it for winter treats for the birds.
