Wednesday Snap Shot

Good Morning! I hope you all are having a great week so far. Last week I started writing my WSS and then the day took a different direction and I wasn't able to finish it and get it out.

Hubby and I had no plans for the 4th of July. We were going to have a little BBQ and relax. I got a text from one of my sons asking if he and his girlfriend could come up and then shortly after that I got a text from my youngest daughter asking if her and her boyfriend could come up. Of course I said, “Sure!”. So I pulled out more meat to put on the BBQ and the kids said they would bring the side dishes. I also grabbed the last frozen pizza dough in the freezer and got that defrosting. In the end we had quite a nice spread and too much food :). I struggle to cook for two people but give me a bunch of people and I'm in my element.. ha, ha. But the kids took food home with them so it all worked out in the end..





Yesterday was a fun day, we had our grandsons over for lunch, a little swimming in the pond and tractor rides. We all enjoyed the day so much..




Grandpa not only gave the tractor rides but also taught our little 10 year old grandson how to drive the tractor. My grandson thought that was very cool.. 


 



Goals
In a little over a week I have a big family get-together happening. There will be 7 out of 8 of our children here with their families. Only my daughter Emily, who lives in California and just had a baby, won't be able to make it. She is still in the new baby phase and traveling with a baby and a toddler is overwhelming to even think about. I told not to worry, we all understand. Nonetheless we will have a big crowd here for several days. In preparation for this, today I'm planning on making a few lasagna's for the freezer. I also bought some more steak as we are planning on a steak BBQ for everyone and I need to cut that up and get it in the freezer.

Besides kitchen work I need to do a little housekeeping..

~wash a couple loads of laundry
~sweep/mop floors
~vacuum

If I have time and energy left, I'll go upstairs to my guest rooms and start getting them freshened up.


For the Love of Books!
Something about the busyness of summer makes reading a challenge for me. I'm still making my way through Oliver Twist and I finished reading the book of Acts in the Bible.

I think the fall and winter are better suited for reading.. what about you?



Steps, Steps, Steps
Steps have been hit and miss. Most days I can get over 5000, I've had a few days of 7000 and over and a couple 10,000 step days.

I keep thinking when life settles down again I'll get back into my walking routine. But the way this summer has been going, it may be a bit challenging! :)



View from my Deck
It's simply a beautiful morning! The sun is shinning and it's warm out. Hubby is already out and mowing. 

 


Today's High: 88 Low: 59


That is all for this week! Hope you are having a fantastic week!

    I find the same thing with reading. It's so much easier in the cooler weather when I can sit beside the fire and curl up in a chair with a throw over me. In the summer I just want to be outside and go, go, go. How cute that your hubby taught your grandson to drive the tractor. He must have been thrilled!

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 ...
