Save $10 on the Ball Canning Site!

By -
Save $10 at http://www.freshpreservingstore.com/This has been SO mcuh fun - having companies contact me that want to help with the mission I am passionate about: living within our means, saving money, feeding my family better and paying it forward as often as possible!

I am a large believer in canning!!
Tons of summer fruit became homemade jam this past summer - so we could enjoy a healthier option to the stuff at the stores that have a lot of high fructose corn syrup in it.

Home canning enables us all to enjoy our fresh, locally grown foods all year long. In addition, fresh preserving lets us limit the amount of sugar or salt in foods we prepare and cook with no added preservatives.

My grandmother could put a meal on the table, in less than 10 minutes, by simply opening a few jars: chicken, potatoes, apples ... it was all shelf stable and healthy!

FreshPreservingStore is a one-stop shop with everything needed to make your canning experience even easier...everything from books, pectin, seasoning mixes, labels, lids, jars and more!

I will be watching the sales to see special offers - but there is a $10 off special right now.
It makes sense to watch deals on this stuff NOW, when it is out of season, so you can find better deals.

Some of my projects coming up?
Canning potatoes and ground beef!

You will read more about it all after Christmas.

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games!

I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

Chili Dog Casserole

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs ...
