This is my first post on a new blog! I am so excited to be able share with you so many things! The matter at hand is preparing for a few workshops this summer on Home Food Preservation and Frugality! I've been living these things over the past season of my life and it is so exciting to see that others are interested in the skills required to manage a home frugally. I've also been blogging since 2007, it just doesn't seem like it has been that long. I am preparing this site as supplemental help to those who go through the Workshops this summer. Living in the Northwest, it is always wise to prepare for the winter months, or emergencies. The Home canning and pressure cooking segment will be wonderful preparations in case our husbands come home with a hunting trophy attached to meat that can me saved for the family. Sure to allergies to chemicals and preservatives it has been so much help to me to be able to can food without High fructose corn syrup or other added items that I cannot spell or say! I'm off to compile more info to share in class, but first a sandwich made with homemade bread, and home grown sprouts, fresh chicken eggs from friends at the local Farmer's Market, and I can't wait to try a glass of the batch of Kefir that I just finished making this morning...update on that tomorrow! If you are in the area, and would like to attend the Home Food Preservation and Frugality Workshops this summer, you can sign up online here on the website!
