Vegetarian Pot Pie
This is a very satisfying and filling pie even though there is no meat in it. White beans, mushrooms, potatoes, mushroom soup, seasonings.
May is National Salsa Month
This is my favorite salsa. It’s easy to make especially when you chop and freeze the peppers and onions in season. Canned tomatoes save the tomato prep time.
Easter Dinner from Food Storage
The meal photographed here is our Easter dinner 2022. With only 2 of us eating, I decided to shop in my food storage pantry instead of cooking a big meal.
Ham and Bean Soup
Tastes like it’s been simmering all afternoon but cooks in 30 minutes thanks to home canning of celery, carrots, ham, beans, and broth.
Home Canned Potatoes
Red and gold potatoes were on sale. 10 pounds of potatoes filled 7 quart jars for the low cost of .56 per quart (plus lid cost) or .28 per pint
Ham Chowder
This thick creamy chowder is full of vegetables (and bacon!). Cheddar cheese soup, milk, ham, bacon, vegetables.
Home Canning Dried Beans
Canning your own dried beans saves money, helps you rotate the dried beans in your food storage, and turns a time requiring food into a convenience food.
