Canning Recipes: 150 Home Canning Recipes For Canning and Preserving
Uses processed ingredients in many recipes. I didn’t like that many of the recipes used canned ingredients (like tomato paste). I’m canning to get away from processed food so adding them to my home canning just doesn’t make sense.Continue Reading
Food Dehydrating: How to Dry Fruit & Vegetables
Dehydrating recipes for basically every fruit and veggie. I bought a new food dehydrator despite knowing nothing at all about dehydrating.

The Grid (Jon Cantrell Thriller 3)
