Morning Chat 8/23/2022

Good morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend and is having a great week!

If you have ever checked in on my little corner before you may have come across some of the other posts that I have wrote for saving food. They are:

• Drying garlic and homemade garlic powder
• Canning Ground Beef
• Canning Chicken
• Freezing Strawberries
• Freezing Blueberries

But this week I am excited to be debuting a new series – the Food Saver Series. Every Friday, for the next 12 weeks I will be posting about how to dry, can and/or freeze – i.e. SAVE – certain foods/herbs.

I decided to write about saving food for a couple reasons, one, with the information coming in talking about inflation and farming issues, food is just going to keep getting more expensive. Being able to buy in bulk (or grow your own) and knowing how to save the food, will save money. Two, for the most part it is fairly easy. Trust me, if I can do it – anyone can do it! Just jump in and give it a go, you never know until you try.

Here is a quick list of the foods/herbs that I will be posting about in order:

• Herbs (basil, sage, oregano, thyme, parsley, and chives)
• Tea herbs (chamomile, lemon balm, and echinacea)
• Summer Squash
• Green beans
• Onions
• Tomatoes
• Corn
• Apples
• Carrots
• Peas and Broccoli (from frozen)
• Potatoes
• Breadcrumbs

I hope you will be able to check them out – have a great day!
