Cooking

I love to cook. When I cook I’m focused only on cooking. No matter what is going on it seems I am able to block it out and focus solely what is in front of me. This is a comfort recipe for a cold winter day. I made it with beef, carrots, celery, and cabbage. We ate it a few different ways. One was plain stuffed in croissants. Then I bought biscuits and made mashed potato’s and we ate it that way. Each way was great. I didn’t have tomato paste or Guinness so I used chicken broth. It still turned out great!

Canned Goods

Today I canned the first batch of tomato juice for the year. This time I tried a different canning method. Usually we boil the jars in a canner, but I didn’t have the time today. I looked up different ways to do it. and there was a baking method. You heat the jars on a cookie sheet at 250 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Then you pour the product in and cap them. Once they are are sealed you turn them upside down so they can seal. I really hope it works out. I’ve already heard a couple of them pop. What’s your favorite way to can? Thank you for stopping by to read my blog ! If you have any canning advice I’d love to hear it. -Lilly
