Project Name: Canned Food
Brief Description: I spent most of my month harvesting my garden & processing all the food. I canned a lot of chicken & chicken broth.
14 quarts of beef stew
3 pints of green beans (I usually freeze those, so trying something new)
20 pints of pickles
20 half pints of raspberry jam
120 pints & 50 half pints of tomato salsa (we eat a lot of salsa & hubs is allergic to onion & garlic so we can’t buy it anywhere.)
50 quarts of tomatoes
50 pints of pizza sauce
more apples, applesauce, apple pie filling than my brain can comprehend
I’m probably missing something, but you get the idea. Lots of food for use this winter. Here is a picture of a tiny bit of it

Project Name: Salted Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies & Spiced Molasses
Brief Description: I must be in the minority, but I don’t like browned butter, my hubby, kids, & everyone else liked them, but I found the texture off. the molasses ones I made for the Whirling Whimpus cryptid.
According to lumberjack legends, the Whirling Whimpus is a gorilla-like cryptid native to the forests of California. It is famous for its unique and brutal hunting method: it spins at a high speed to create a mesmerizing, whistling sound that lures in unsuspecting prey. When the prey approaches, the Whimpus crushes the creature completely—depositing them into a pool of molasses or maple syrup
