Veggies from my garden
I absolutely loved planting and tending to my garden all spring and summer. It was my first time ever and such a success. I hope it wasn’t beginner’s luck. I learned how to freeze pizza sauce, can salsa, and blanch vegetables to freeze. I made my own ketchup, pasta sauce, and roasted and froze green chilis to use year round. I have been using whole chicken so I can make stock, which I keep in small containers in the freezer to use in sauces. I’ve made many balls of pizza dough and stuck them in the freezer to make pizza whenever we feel like it. It’s so nice to go to the freezer or pantry and pull out some of these homemade items, knowing what went into making them (the precise ingredients). I decided that I am going to make a lot more of these homemade goodies, like jams and jellies, peanut butter, and more. I discovered this great website which offers many recipes and teaches you how to make so many more items you never thought of making at home like baking powder?
