What's Happening

Spring is in the air.  Of course it is a typical Colorado Spring.

My husband was tilling the garden one afternoon while the boys followed him and  picked rock. The weather suddenly turned and it started snowing on them.  Roto-tilling in the snow. Wierd.

I have my peas, spinach, lettuce, and beets in the ground.  Can't wait for these things to start sprouting.  

My son saved some pumpkin seeds from last years pumpkins.  He's got spring fever too and decided to plant these indoors.  They have taken off!  This is great except.... we have several weeks before it will be warm enough for these guys to go outside.  I'm thinking they will outgrow their pot.  

I have great expectations of the soon to come summer!  I am so very very ready.  I always look forward to winter, I am a skier and I love to watch my boys snowboard... but I am ALWAYS ready for spring.  
 

Simple Recipe of the Month

 I've posted several of my own home recipes this month.  Try this Homemade Pizza Sauce with a Whole Wheat Pizza Crust Recipe. Add cheese and your favorite toppings.  

Great for Friday night pizza and movie night with the family.  

Your Questions

I received this question looking for reassurance in preserving chicken.  It prompted me to finally get some pictures taken and post a canning chicken page.  

Anyone else ever canned kielbasa or similar sausage type meat?

I've been thinking of trying to make and process breakfast sausage.  Make meatballs out of bulk breakfast sausage and pressure can it.  Wouldn't it be wonderful to have for biscuits and gravy breakfasts!

homestead blessings

I recently found these wonderful homestead skills videos.  I love the homey warm feeling that these portray.  From gardening and herbs to cooking, preserving, soap and candle making.  

See the Art of Canning here.  

Complete Homestead Blessings Nine Pack

The Homestead Blessings Complete Nine Pack is a fun-filled collection of homemaking skills presented in an educational and entertaining nine DVD series. The southern hospitality of the West ladies will welcome you into this unique series that is encouraging ladies of all ages and teaches valuable skills that can be applied to many homemaking endeavors. 

The nine DVD set includes instruction in bread making, candle making, soap making, canning, gardening, herbs, cooking, dairy, and sewing. This deeply discounted set is the perfect tool to teach a wide-range of valuable and fun skills that will last a life-time.  



They are several sample trailers. (short segments of an actual DVD). Check them out.  

Links

I also added 2 new articles by guest writers this month.  I've enjoyed having the expertise of others to share.  

Health benefits of organic foods.   Home canning has many advantages, combine it with the benefits of organic food and you have a power house of healthy eating and healthy choices.

Honey Nutrition.   I am sold on the value of Honey Nutrition.  I am so blessed that I found a source to buy bulk raw honey direct from a local vendor.  I buy it several gallons at a time.
