PRESERVE Food Storage

How Long Can You Store Food in the Freezer? (Chart)

How Long Can You Store Food in the Freezer? (Chart)

My favorite purchase by far has been (drum roll)…. yep, my freezer! Maybe it eats up too much electricity and space, but it has saved me MANY trips to the store – so for now it’s staying! I often forget everyone is not as obsessed with freezers as I am, and it might because they don’t […]

Make CANNED CHICKEN – Lasts on the Shelf for 3+ Years!

Make CANNED CHICKEN – Lasts on the Shelf for 3+ Years!

Making my own canned chicken was one of those projects I kept putting off until I ordered 80 lbs of chicken and either had to can it or waste it.  I was leaving town for a week so I stayed up for 24 hours straight and got it all canned! Luckily nothing blew-up, but canning chicken was […]

Preserving Eggs with Mineral Oil – One Year Later…

Preserving Eggs with Mineral Oil – One Year Later…

Last year I showed you How to Preserve Eggs With Mineral Oil and a few of you asked if it really worked – well, the answer is – YES! Mineral Egg Experiment Because I care about you so much, I’ve had eggs in my fridge for OVER A YEAR just to see if rubbing them with mineral […]

Supersizing Food Storage with BUCKETS

Supersizing Food Storage with BUCKETS

I was asked to give a class one time on storing food in buckets and I definitely could relate to Brian Regan with his cup of dirt , but instead I was more like… “It’s a bucket, with food in it. I call it BUCKET OF FOOD.” Somehow I managed to come up with a few more […]

How to Preserve Eggs With Mineral Oil

How to Preserve Eggs With Mineral Oil

A lot of the Egg Substitutes out there are good for baking, but what about when you have the urge to stick them between your toes, or feel the need to egg someone’s house? The egg substitutes just aren’t the same (believe me, I’ve tried :) So if you want to make sure you are never without eggs, […]

Preserving Favorite Foods – Chocolate, Cheetos, Nuts, & More!

Preserving Favorite Foods – Chocolate, Cheetos, Nuts, & More!

I was mortified today when my friend asked to use my bathroom. I knew it was bad, but not that bad!!! I guess that is what happens when you have 4 boys and no maid. I think I’m putting one on my Christmas list this year! Not only one was my friend exposed to the horror in […]

Canning Beef: Put a Cow in a Jar

Canning Beef: Put a Cow in a Jar

I have tried canning beef multiple ways – raw-packed, heat-packed, with water, with-out water and almost gave-up, but I finally found a way that it actually tastes decent. Just like the chicken, I think this may be the way I do beef from now on. The convenience of being able to dump cooked beef into my […]

Cooked Jam Recipes & Instructions

Cooked Jam Recipes & Instructions

Nothing beats homemade jam, especially if you have some of Monica’s Famous Rolls to go with it! Jam makes everything better, but the only problem is once you start making it there is no going back. Your friends, your kids and the hubby will keep begging you to make more. So go ahead if you dare, […]
