News from the Homestead

-


 


Aside from my Thanksgiving plans there are a few other updates from my homestead.


 


Yesterday my kids and I did a major cleaning on the house..  we dusted and move furniture and vacuumed and mopped and swept ..  I actually cleaned my desk!   Tobin brought me home (from his dad’s house that he and his brother are cleaning out) a 4 drawer letter size filing cabinet.  So I was inspired to clean my desk and my little office area and move the filing cabinet into place.  Now maybe that will help me stay a bit more organized..


 


Hannah did not help with our cleaning yesterday but rather did one of her weekly housekeeping jobs earlier than usual due to the holiday.  While at her cleaning job she also heard a little feedback on her test taking for the job she has applied for (she cleans house for one of our local police officers and his family and he is the one who suggested she give the job a try)..  she scored the 2nd  highest score out of 7 people!  I was very proud of her.   She now has a huge packet of info to fill out and a first interview next Monday and that should let her know much better where she stands and what her chances are for the job. 


 


We are still waiting to hear the final decision on Tobin’s application for a new job at his company..  We will see how that goes..  This would basically be a move to a different department than where he is at now.


 


My son called and he will be sometime between December 19th and the 23rd..   we are all excited to see him!  He will have 3 weeks at home and is looking forward to visiting family and friends.


 


Today while shopping for Thanksgiving dinner I will also be finishing up the shopping for Sierra’s birthday which is on Thanksgiving.. She will be 11 years old.   So we will be double thankful on that day!


 



The weather outside is stormy again..  we had such a nice break yesterday from the wind and rain but today it is back in full force.  Not really the type of day I like to go shopping in, but that is just the way it is!


 


Dinner tonight is lentil and brown rice tacos..  Fairly easy meal..  This is also Tobins last day of work for the week..  it will be great to have him home more...


 



Hopefully I will be back here to blog before things get going with the holiday dinner preparations.. 


 


But if not..  I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!


 



My son in law, Jonathan, sent me updated pics of Caden..


 


This is Jonathan holding Caden:


 


And a picture of Caden and his sweet little smile:


 


Just makes me want to hop on a plane and go hug my baby..


 


Hope you all have a great Tuesday on your Homesteads!!

Canning Chicken Noodle-less Soup

-
Image
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...

Canning Beef Stew

Image
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 ...
