Be careful when you lift the top off that blender after pulsing the jalapenos... You could spend a miserable several minutes from the rising powder if you don't!

No joke! The first time I didn't think about it and popped the top off within a few minutes and got spice bombed lol. The second time I waited over 20 minutes and still got bombed :/

Today was the first p.o.w.w.o.w (produce on wheels with out waste) and boy is there a lot of green beans!!! Three plastic grocery bags full of them! I'm currently working on cleaning them up to prep for my first attempt of canning green beans
I've blanched and frozen till this point but I want to save room in the freezer for several eggplant lasagnas I plan on making in the morning and some loaves of zuchiini bread for later on.
Plus I'll be doing some zuchinni chips (already dehydrating a batch!) And dehydrating some of the green bell peppers we got.
One of my goals this year is to waste as little as possible!

Phew! Its been eventful today! Got 2 bags of the greens beans cleaned and sorted and canned!! first time pressure canning ever (and with our electric pressure cooker) got 15 pint jars full

This pic isn't all of them lol
Also made 2 big pickle jars full of pickled veggies (fridge batch's)

One hot mix (I used some of the jalapeño powder we made a Lil bit ago) and a regular pickled veggies.

Taking a Lil break to make a snack then I'll be making eggplant lasagnas for now and later as well as zuchinni bread

Hope everyone's doing well and warm!
