What I've been up to...

Looking at my blog, it doesn't appear as though I've been doing much lately.  In reality, I've been busy with the start of a new school year and....CANNING!


Last year, I canned a few peaches with my friend and froze zucchini from my garden.  This year, I have canned...
  • pizza sauce
  • peaches
  • pickles
  • spaghetti sauce
  • tomato base for my chili
  • apple pie filling
  • salsa
  • applesauce
I also froze a few small batches of applesauce, pumpkin, a couple of zucchinis (I still had tons left over from last year) and a LOT of sweet corn.

I am hoping to save a bit of money, plus I do find it satisfying preparing that much of our food myself and knowing what's in it.

There are a couple of birthdays coming up in my husband's family and I haven't started on our Christmas cards yet either, so I hope to be back to cardmaking soon.
