    Hi Crystal! This is a complete random question, but oh well. I've been really enjoying your website- it's helping me a lot! Anwyays, I have an almost 3 month old baby girl (the 4th girl!) who has been having digestive issues.I had her on the raw cow's milk formula from Nourishing Traditions, but it seemed rather 'strong' for her. I cannot get raw goat milk anymore- lost my place on the list and they're drying up their goats. So, since you have experience with raising goats, I was wondering if you could tell me if it was difficult to just get your own goat and milk it. I live in East Texas on an acre of fairly wooded land, and have plenty of room for chickens and goats etc. We just moved her before baby was born, so not much has been done to it, but still, we can have goats. Like I said I have 4 girls, 2 in kindergarten and 2 at home and my husband works away from home. Would adding a goat or two make life real crazy?? Any suggestions? You can leave a comment on my blog (www.anneatheart.blogspot.com) or email me at sundholm5@yahoo.com


    THANKS!!!

    I just made this bread. DELICIOUS!! There were some typos I thought I'd dell you about, but this was the only way I knew of to let you know. In the recipe, no mention is made of when to add the mashed potatoes or first part of the flour, so I added it all to yeast mixture at the beginning.


    Thank you for sharing so many of your TNT recipes. They have been such a blessing to my family. Your words of encouragement have helped me so often.

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

Image
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 ...
