Canning meat is much easier than most people think. These jars are so handy to have on your pantry shelf for a quick meal. Meatballs can be used with spaghetti, on sandwiches, or as an appetizer with a sauce added.
Rhubarb is one of the first plants to poke through the ground in the spring. These tart red stalks can be used in to many ways. Pair them with lemons in this recipe to make a refreshing drink.
Pickled okra is crunchy with just a hint of garlic and dill. These pickled pods add a special touch to relish trays and are a southern specialty.
Do you have extra tomatoes and dont know what to do with them? Try making ketchup. It only takes a few pantry ingredients to make this recipe. It is simple but so delicious served with air-fried French fries!
Pickled Garlic is fresh garlic that has been preserved in a pickling syrup. The pickling syrup gives the garlic a sweet, sour, and spicy flavor. After the garlic has been in the brine for three weeks it loses some of the heat. Pickling also extends the shelf life of the garlic.
Angel Food Cakes are a delicious fluffy light dessert to add to any meal. These cakes are primarily made with egg whites, flour, and sugar. Did you know that you can make a sugar-free, gluten-free version that bakes and taste just like a regular one? And by adding extracts you can have any flavor you want
Preserving Food and large gardens/orchards have been a way of life for my family for generations. Rows of jars lined canning shelves and freezers were full of food by summer’s end.
Tomato products have always be a favorite of many people, including myself to can. Pizza Sauce is a must at our house. This sauce is made without sugar and chock full of veggies. I love to make pizza using sourdough crust! In fact we rarely buy pizza since we prefer this homemade version.
Protein Bars!! I love them for a quick snack when I’m busy at home but I still need something to eat or when I’m traveling. Cranberries and Coconut pair wonderful in this bar. When cranberries can be found in grocery stores over the holiday season, I will purchase a number of bags to dry or freeze. These dried cranberries make a wonderful, chewy addition to protein bars.
Here is a round-up of my favorite party foods. You will find anything from Wings, Taco Dip, Trail Mix, Candy, Cheesecakes, and more. I hope these will become your favorites, too.
A party would not be complete without wings! These Cajun Wings can be quickly made in an air fryer. I love my Ninja Foodie! It makes the best wings and the grease and splatters are all contained inside the unit. Yay!
Chicken Noodle Soup been a favorite of mine ever since I was a young child. The traditional Pennsylvania Dutch Chicken Noodle Soup was made with homemade egg noodles, lots of sweet corn, and loaded with carbs. Here is a slimming version that is so tasty and packed full of flavor.
