Catch Up & Chit Chat

-





I disappeared from my blog world in the last 2 weeks! My life seemed to take on a direction of its own. I finally have a quiet (mid) morning and thought I sit down and do a quick blog to catch up. I'm at my computer with a blueberry, banana,raspberry/spinach smoothie (which is wonderful) and a cup of mint/green tea. 
I've read a lot about green tea over the last few years and finally decided to try and make it more of my regular routine. I enjoy herb teas and this is an easy one to add to my day. In the morning I make a quart of herb tea. I fill a canning jar with boiling water, add my tea bags and let them steep. I make it my goal to drink that throughout the day. This morning I did one bag of green tea and one bag of mint tea. It's a really nice combo.
My life became very busy in the last couple weeks with several different things. We have a rental that came vacant and I've been helping my hubby to clean it and get it ready for the next tenant. I've been working on sewing projects. One was simple enough, repair some of my hubby's favorite work pants with patches and fixes on holes in the pockets. I made an apron from scrap fabric I had and loved the way it turned out. 



Now I'm looking at the scraps I still have and am planning on making some potholders. Mine are way past worn out.

I also spent a day with my youngest son. He came to the house to help me work on Christmas gifts for my grandchildren (my PVC pipe fort kits). I so appreciated his day of help! (my cat had to get in the action as well! :)


I spent another day with my daughter and grandchildren out enjoying a wonderful fall day. It was windy and a little cool, but the sunshine and the beautiful scenery around us made up for that.


 

Then last weekend I got a call from one of my nieces telling my brother was in the hospital. He had a mini stroke and was in the ICU. My hubby took off work and we went to see him. He is home now, resting and improving.

Finally this week, I had my 6 week post op appointment with my eye doctor. He said everything is healing as it should and my eye was looking great. As soon as the stitches dissolve I will be able to wear my contacts again.

It seemed like with the all the various things going on that my blogging took a backseat to life. This coming week is looking more easy going and I should be back to my regularly scheduled blogging. 

Hope everyone has a blessed weekend!

    Seriously, you should make aprons and sell them. That is such a beautiful one. It's hard to find such a simple and pretty apron like that anymore. I wish I knew how to sew, but I don't. Anyway, it's a thought. I would definitely buy one!!

      Thank you, that is very kind of you 😊 I use to make and sell aprons. I sold a lot of them and really enjoyed it. Life got to busy as I was finishing up home schooling my kids thru highschool and I had to stop. Maybe one of these days I'll try again. Crystal

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
