This week has definitely been focused on filling the freezer and pantry for next school year.<\/p>\n
On Monday, I went to my favorite farm stand and purchased 4 20# boxes of “canning tomatoes”. In addition to the tomatoes, I also purchased a couple of jalapenos, yellow squash and cucumbers.\u00a0 Total spent was $65. I also had a trip to Costco where I grabbed 3 roasteries chickens and 3 large bunches of bananas.<\/p>\n
Monday evening with the help of everyone, I started the first batch of spaghetti sauce, made a double batch of salsa and got 3 chicken and broccoli casseroles in the freezer. The salsa ended with 10 pints of salsa on the shelf.<\/p>\n
Tuesday\/ Wednesday the focus was on making and canning the spaghetti sauce.\u00a0 In total I canned 45 quarts and 12 pints of spaghetti sauce. I am so excited to get this in the pantry!<\/p>\n
Today, I was in need of a slower pace day.\u00a0 I did manage to get a tray of bananas in the freezer.<\/p>\n
The goal for Friday, is another batch of salsa, at least one batch of baked beans on the shelf and I have 10 pounds of ground beef in the refrigerator that needs to be cooked and turned into future meals.<\/p>\n
The countdown is officially on until the end of my summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
