I chose my late mother’s name for my baby because I wanted to honor her, and I was genuinely excited to share it with my family. Instead, my sister immediately exploded and said I wasn’t allowed to use it because her 17-year-old daughter wants it for some future baby that doesn’t even exist. What started as a name announcement turned into lies, cruel messages, and a heartbreaking fight over who loved our mom more — all while I’m pregnant and already under enough stress...continue reading in the first comment 👇👇

I was standing in my yard, clutching a jar of almond butter like it was some kind of shield, when the code enforcement truck pulled up. THE OFFICER DIDN’T REACH FOR ANYTHING DRAMATIC—JUST CLICKED HIS PEN. And there I was at sixty-eight, back aching, about to be cited for the “crime” of being a neighbor. My name is Eleanor. I spent thirty-five years running a hospital cafeteria, feeding people through every kind of day and every kind of struggle. After I retired, life got quieter—cross-stitch, coffee, and conversations with my late husband’s photo on the hallway table. THEN ONE CHILLY MORNING, EVERYTHING CHANGED. I saw a little girl—maybe ten—digging half-eaten chips out of a trash bag next door. When she looked up, she wasn’t embarrassed…...continue reading in the first comment 👇👇

My yearly inventory of pantry. Roughly 700 jars of home canned and dehydrated food. Goal is 800.
I've learned so much in the 3 yrs I've been canning more than just salsa. Thankful for this group and all the help here.

I’ve been making my own flour tortillas. They’re inexpensive and taste way better than storebought!
Here’s the recipe everyone: I used 2 cups of flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking powder, 4 tbs melted butter and 3/4 cup of warm water.
Add the flour, salt and baking powder to a large bowl and mix well. Then add the melted butter (let it cool first before adding). Start mixing with your hand while slowly adding the water. Knead for about 5 min and shape into a ball. Next divide the dough into 8 equal sized balls. Roll out the dough balls using a little flour. Then in a skillet over medium heat cook the tortillas for about 1 min on each side. The tortillas should bubble up.

Well while I was caring for my mother, my cucumbers, got out of hand. One was as big as a zucchini.
So I made cinnamon pickles!!! It’s a long, 4 day process buuuuutttt!!!!
They are soooo worth it!!!! It’s a great way to use up, over grown cucumbers and they are absolutely marvelous!!!
I’m so glad, that I ate like 45 before I started canning them, (mmmmm soooo good!!!) or I would have needed more jars!!!😂😂😂
A 5 gallon bucket made 16 pints + what I ate!!!
Recipe in comments.
The bucket and lid I used, is in the photos.

Drying Shuck Beans a/k/a Leather Britches & Shucky Beans, an Appalachian treat. I dried these White Half Runner green beans last July. My family from the Mountains of Eastern KY has been drying shuck beans for over 100 years that I know of. I’m sure it goes back much longer than that. We always cook a big pot of them on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other special occasions throughout the winter.
