This past week was one of those weeks that I stayed pretty busy, but not necessarily with what I was planning on doing.
My mom got me some produce on Monday. Super excited about what all she got me, but it took time to can and freeze the produce for this winter. We will eat better this winter because of my work this week. Exciting!
On the flip side, I didn't get as much done that I had on my goals list.
7. Finish book- I have 4 chapters left.
Last week's goals:
1. Go on a walk
2. Wash windows
3. Make bathroom curtain
4. Finish Patterns- super close. Just need to make a pdf
5. Can Roasted Red Pepper Spread
6. Clean out and organize guest bedroom- worked on this. My husband got home and didn't notice a difference. Bummer!

Do you can or freeze anything that you will be able to enjoy this winter?
You and I had about the same kind of week! Lots of goals... but I didn't get to many of them either. On Saturday, I just crashed and spent most of the day lying around napping or watching movies with my husband! But we need those days once in awhile, right? But your canning looks great! I admire you for doing stuff like that. I don't know if I will ever have the dedication to do it. :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteJamie, your Saturday sounds like it was a fabulous day! Can't have one of those everyday, but we do need them occasionally. Glad you were able to enjoy it with your husband.
DeleteDoes freezing baby food purées count? I've got an assortment of colorful little cubes I. My freezer, awaiting Hudson's meal times....I've tried to stock up as different summer produce has gone on sale.
ReplyDeleteCindy, I love that you are making Hudson's food. It definitely counts. And you could always eat it too :)
DeleteLydia, Danica's Daily blog has a canning contest this week for new stuff. I didn't enter because I don't know if I would do that (I've never tried) but you might want to head over and check out her blog to get some free canning stuff! -Jenny
ReplyDeleteYou should try it some day! I have never been to Danica's blog, but I just visited to enter. Thanks for letting me know, Jenny!
DeleteThis past week I was able to get two boxes of peaches for $5 a box. Even though I didn't know what kind they were I took a chance and canned 14 quart jars of peaches and they turned out fine. I dried about 15 pounds of the leftover peaches in my dehydrator. I am thinking I would like to purchase one more box of peaches and then we should be set for this year. I still have two types of pickles to make too.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job, Shelly! I am not peach expert, but I know they taste good! I still have peaches from last year. My canned goods were all at my parents house, so not very conveniently located. I need to work at getting them to my house!
DeleteThank you for sharing with us here at "Tell Me a Story." Home canning is a great way to have something good in the winter. Oh I have never been good at making lists and keeping them. I think you are doing very well considering that you did some canning and did arrange the guest room.
ReplyDeleteHazel, I agree that canning is a great way to save things for winter. I love making lists sticking to them can be a little harder :)
