Canning

I'm trying to do as much as I can but my accomplishments are smaller than I would like them to be. I'm always tired but I'm very committed to eating whole foods and real food. It's been great to go through such a major surgery and eat well.

I'm working on learning to do my own canning. I managed to use the tomatoes for salsa, tomato sauce and some tomato base for vegetable soup. We made some green beans, squash and green peppers for the freezer but canned the tomato sauce.

This week we are making another batch of beans for the freezer. It's great to pull from the freezer fresh food rather than a can of something that tastes like tin. We plan to get our garden going so that we can eat an organic variety.

I'm just hanging in there. I'm hoping to share some of my projects that I'm working on but I'm a little slow as you know. lol
