I may be getting a bit ahead of myself here, but I’m longing for spring and feeling like testing a few boundaries. Since we have our grow lights in place, happily helping along our greens, some herbs and even a few bush beans, I figured it was worth a little experimentation in tomatoes and peppers as well.

Their growth is slow and not very exciting, so I don’t usually bother during the week, just on the weekends. The short days are also a factor and I don’t ever want to let the heat out of them in the evenings. After checking…

Oh how I swoon over pictures of pantries that have already accomplished this! In the meantime, however, I am finding pride and joy in the few items that we have canned…including (but not limited to)…

It’s super easy, super tasty and we know exactly what ingredients are in it. Oh, and since our juicer also makes pasta, it’s kind of like magic 🙂 If you can, I highly recommend making your own…
