From My Home to Yours
~ It's the first of September and I'm back as promised! ~
In my last post I shared what I had done in the #everybitcountschallenge for days 1 through 8 and then I told you that I was going to have to take a break and explained the reason why.
I also told you that I would be back and that when I returned, I would pick back up with the #everybitcountschallenge and finish out the 31 days I had committed too.
As you can see, I am back and ready to do what I told you I would do ... finish out the 31 days of the #everybitcountschallenge. However, I tweaked one of the rules somewhat for myself, here's what 'my' tweaked rule looks like ...
instead of doing the remaining 23 days of the challenge consecutively, I will do them as often as I can, depending on what I have to work with. I hope that makes sense. It will take me longer, but in the end, I'll have a total of 31 days of focused restocking my pantry.
Here are a few things I'll be working with this week ...
tomatoes
grapes
onions (yellow, sweet and red)
okra
peppers
potatoes
cucumbers
Yes, God has certainly blessed us with garden produce, but why should I be surprised, it is what I along with many of you prayed for us since our garden was a 'it didn't happen' this year due to hubby's illness, a drought and then flooding!
I guess you know where you will find me this week ... in the kitchen working to restock my pantry!
I should be able to knock out several of those 23 days left in my #everybitcountschallenge this week. Meet me back here on Friday and I'll update my progress.
That's all for this post!
Until the next time ...

I hope the month behind was restful. It certainly sounds like you have been blessed! While I did my part in the challenge sometimes it looked like adding several things in one day and then putting them away on the days that followed until I could 'do' something more. And I used all the means: canning, shopping, baking, etc.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back and look forward to hearing all you get done as you are able.
Terri, the challenge looked different for me this year too and I think it really has to be customizable in order to fit the lives of those participating. This week while still working on my version of the challenge, doing it the way that doesn't make me feel overwhelmed has really made the things I've done toward the challenge enjoyable. I like that!
DeleteI plan to use all the means as well ... canning, dehydrating, freezing, freezer meals, shopping, baking, etc.
Thank you for your encouragement!
Can you preserve the lemon juice in 1/4 pints as well? If so would it be for 30 minutes too?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I have never tried to can lemon juice in 1/4 pint jars. I'm sorry, I don't have an answer for your question.
