Pressure canning, another method for preserving food (aside from water bath canning).

Tried it last night, it seems intimidating but honestly it’s not.

It’s exciting though.

Not in my house.

As I was getting our supper ready, I watched as my boys went back and forth marching to the fridge numerous times.

Not that I complain, but if the refrigerator would talk, I know for sure it will complain😆

My one child went back and forth to get a handful of grapes until eventually he realized that taking the whole bag would be better.

The other one can’t decide what he wants so he will open the fridge,
stare at it,
close it
and open it again until he decided he wants a cheese string.

He ate the cheese string,
open the fridge,
grab another one,
close the fridge,
then repeat.

This went on until about 4 times until he had enough.

A few minutes had passed and he thinks he want more to eat, so the process starts all over again.

This made me realized that the opening and the closing of the fridge in my house is ridiculous during summer break😆

not the average 😅

Not complaining,

just stating the fact that the average opening and closing of the fridge is countless and more frequent when the kids are on summer break than when the school is on.

Beet leaves!

Somebody told me that they don’t really care about the beet root but they grow beets just for their leaves.

If someone can share their recipes or what to do with these leaves it would be great. I usually just plant this for the roots but after knowing that there are lots of recipes you can use this for, I don’t want to waste a single leaf from this plant😅

p.s. recipes that is proven good and that kids won’t mind eating will be a bonus too.

Thank you in advance.

“I know it was you!”

Didn’t know this song but I heard my kid singing this part of the song and I told myself “Wait, what?”

I researched the song then listened to the lyrics and no matter how I try to justify the song it just doesn’t sit right to me.

Maybe this is just my opinion.

But I pray that we will all have discernment not to be deceived from the tricks of this world and the enemy that will do everything even disguised itself in a cool song just to trick us.

Be on guard!
