Dracula in the form of a Muscovy drake. Seriously,

Dracula in the form of a Muscovy drake. Seriously, if you're not prepared for the hissing, stalking, and I'm-going-to-get-you-my-pretty behavior you might be startled and, actually, a little scared! 👉 Swipe to see what I'm talking about.
.
His name is not Dracula, but, Big Daddy. However, that may change.

Each year I channel my Italian heritage to make a

Each year I channel my Italian heritage to make a killer sauce for canning. Each year I say I'm going to share the recipe. And then reality hits, I didn't documents the ingredients and I can't share it. So let me give you a tip, make it the way you love and pressure can it. If you were to hot water bath it I'd say, ummm, keep that info in your kitchen (those who have taken a class of mine or have heard me speak will get what I just said 😂). With that said, here's to another year of you not getting my killer sauce! It shall remain a family secret for at least one more year.
.
But doesn't it look sexy?

Mango peach salsa. The combination is crazy delici

Mango peach salsa. The combination is crazy delicious! How have I never explored this option before yesterday? Many of you may have a hard time getting ahold of mangos, but don't worry, I give you a more commonly found substitute, APPLES!
.
I use to gag when trying to eat fruit salsas...until I started making and canning my own. And shoot, if you don't want to can it this recipe it is incredible fresh!

My granddaughter's curiosity is contagious! She wa

My granddaughter's curiosity is contagious! She walked through the garden multiple times smelling the flowers, eating broccoli, green beans, and raspberries. She even noticed the new leaf cutter bee condo from @kindbeefarms. The plants and I reap from the pollination and she gets to reap the enjoyment of running around our garden space without getting stung!
.
Now, that's not to not say we will never have honey bees, just not here. One day soon, but until then, these will do perfect!

I may not be from the south but I sure do love me

I may not be from the south but I sure do love me some fried green tomatoes. Hence, the reason why I can quite a few jars each year!
.
If you do not have the information as to whether green tomatoes are acidic enough or how long green or red tomatoes should be processed, then you need to read my new blog post. And while you're at it, can some green tomato slices.

I. Love. Fried. Green. Tomatoes. 🤤🤤🤤

I love my geese, I truly do. Only a breeding pair

I love my geese, I truly do. Only a breeding pair of each, the Toulouse and Buff, will be kept, which means 4 will go into the freezer. I have never adored poultry like I do these guys. I'm telling you, regardless of how long we live this life some things will never be easy. And picking between who to keep is always a tough choice.
