Homestead Moments

-

This morning I woke up to a chilly house and got a fire going to warm the house. When it was light enough to see outside I noticed snow on the top of the hills across the way. Soon I heard my daughter Emily get up. And she came and joined me in the living room. We enjoyed a wonderful cup of coffee together and some awesome chat time. My daughter Leanne then joined us as well.

I find these times with my daughters such a treat. Emily is 21 and Leanne is 20 and both have busy lives working and socializing, coming and going. So when we do have a moment where our schedules meet together it is a time to discuss so many things; issues in life, work, friends, family and more. As my children are growing up and moving on with their own lives these moments we spend together are special indeed.

    I love this, it just makes me want to brew some coffee and snuggle up with my kiddos on the couch, although mine aren't as old as yours yet. I am so thankful you have the chance to spend such time with your daughters, what a blessing.

    Oh my heart feels so full! I love it when these moments come around. Our oldest is a 20 yo full time college student, part time employee, full time friend and daughter. She isn't home much during our waking hours and when she is I just want to sit and listen to her tell me all that is going on in her beautiful life. Bless you as you share these moments...{{hugs}}

      Aww.. I know just how you feel.. that feeling of wanting to soak up all the time with your daughter.. That is how I feel with mine and I also so love to hear about their lives.. I like how you called your daughter a full time friend .. That I believe is the beauty of grown children.. they will always be our children but as they grown and mature they become our true and trusted friend as well..

    Oh my gosh, I can only imagine waking up to seeing snow.

    I am however quiet happy that its not soo hot here at the moment.

    Mostly mothers are so busy doing a few tasks at a time that moments like these are even more special.

    Ever changing motherhood and making adjustments to your children's growing up. It makes me happy and sad at the same time. Ah, parenthood!

    Hello, I am so thankful for your post and all you show and teach other women including my self. My husband and I are truly blessed with two young men and its so nice having coffee with them or lunch. People are so shocked when my guys come around and open the door for me or pull out my chair or order or pay for my meal, Is this so unreal today. When our young men leave our house I want them to be able to take great care with whoever GOD chooses for their lives.My guys are 24yrs and 20 and two months. hehe we always have to add the months.

Canning Chicken Noodle-less Soup

-

Today was one of those busy days that it seemed I was moving from the time my feet hit the floor until this evening.. But, I got so much done and that is a great feeling! :) One of my accomplishments today was canning 14 jars of chicken noodle-less soup. I call it “noodle-less” because you can’t can noodles. They end up falling apart. So I canned the chicken, veggies and broth. When I go to use the soup I will bring it to a boil and then add a handful of noodles (any type of pasta will work) and cook it until the noodles are done. Because I plan to add the pasta after the fact I wanted to make sure there was enough chicken broth to do this. So I only filled my jars about half to two thirds with chicken and veggies and then filled with chicken broth. Here is how I did this…. I started off with 2 chickens that were a total weight of about 10lbs. I put them in my 14 quart stock pot… I then added 2 gallons of water.. And 3 tablespoons salt.. I brought this

Canning Cabbage

I had 4 large heads of cabbage that weighted about 25 pounds. We had some really hot days and I figured I better get the last of them picked soon. My daughter Sierra and I ended up processing 3 of them yesterday and I have one left for a meal on my menu this week. I made pickled cabbage and then canned up the last of the cabbage. Here is the recipe for the pickled cabbage (according to how I made it)… 8 pounds cabbage 1 large onion 1 ½ red peppers 1 lb carrots ¾ cup salt 9 cups water 12 cups white vinegar 10 cups sugar 1t mustard seed 1t celery seed Slice cabbage thinly. Slice onion and peppers. Grate carrots. Mix all veggies together in a very large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix in well. Let sit for 2 hours to soften veggies. Rinse veggies well.  In a large stock pot (mine was 14 quarts) combine water, vinegar, sugar, spices. Bring to a boil. Add cabbage/veggies. Bring to a boil. Fill hot pint jars with veggies using a slotted spoon. Fill jar with brine to

Canning Beef Stew

In my last blog post I shared that I had bought 10 pounds of beef roast. I cut it all up and used 4 pounds in 2 crockpot freezer meals ( http://homesteadinghomemaker.blogspot.com/2012/02/two-more-crockpot-meals-for-freezer.html ) . I used the other 6 pounds of meat along with potatoes, carrots, onions and celery to can beef stew. Here were the general proportions I used in canning 7 quarts of beef stew.. 6# beef 2# potatoes 2# carrots 1# onions 1# celery After I cut up the meat and got the freezer meals done I moved to the beef stew. I peeled and cut up the potatoes and carrots. I chopped up the onions and sliced the celery. I pulled out 3 quarts of veggie stock from my freezer to use for liquid in the stew. You can use beef or chicken stock or you can use water. I did not add anything to thicken the liquid as usually thickeners don’t hold up in canning. You can thicken the broth after it is opened if you would like. I added 1 teaspoon salt to each of my
