Apologies for the lateness of today's post. I was called in to work early this morning (boss is on vacation), so I'm just getting around to it now. Because it's already after lunchtime, I'm going to leave this post up for tomorrow, too. There will be a new post after this one on Wednesday. Last weekend was Craft Day, so I'll be sharing what our latest project entailed.
 |
| 1) zucchini relish, corn/black bean relish, bbq sauce, salsa, homemade rotel; 2) venison, taco meat, chicken breast, mexican seasoned chicken thigh, beef stew 3) canned butter, strawberry jam, jalapeño jam, cheesecake, black rasp. jam, grape jam, lilac jam |
Now, for today's post. I promised photos of my home preserved pantry shelves, so here goes. While I admit there are some store-bought items in our pantry, most of what we eat these days is local, non-GMO prepackaged, or home canned/frozen. I'll try to give you a good idea of what's on each shelf in the photo captions.
 |
| 1) dehydrated milk and cream, purchased chai tea (hidden) dried beans to can later, pizza sauce 2) Freeze dried pineapple, cowboy candy, pinto beans 3) various dried rice and grits 4) dehydrated ingredients for soups and stews, pasta and celery |
 |
| 1) Handsome's jam (in use) and Jif peanut butter (non-GMO and no Xylitol, which means safe for dogs), applesauce 2) baked beans, condensed mushroom and tomato soup mixes, turkey vegetable soup base, premixed seasoned rice 3) non-GMO purchased cereals 4) various pastas (Some day I'll make my own, but we buy them for now.) |
I'm writing the copy of my computer, but adding the photographs through my cell phone, so I'll try to keep things straight. (Yes. My computer is still acting up.) sigh
 |
| 1) hickory nut pie filling, apple pie filling 2) homemade muffin, brownie, sugar cookie and corn bread mixes 3) homemade vanilla (in process), Ghirardheli choco chips, hickory nuts and pecans |
So, there you have it. I have more things on my To Do list, but this is where I do most of my "shopping" when it's dinner time. We do have meats in the freezer, but it's much easier to grab something off these shelves. (No thawing required.)
I'm working all day tomorrow, but I'll be back Wednesday with the Craft Day post. See you then!
