Slowed things down a bit this Sunday. I was so excited for the start of fall because I figured the rush from summer would naturally slow things down. Spoiler Alert….I was wrong 😂

So today I slowed down and relaxed, but still managed to make one last batch of apple sauce and some homemade bread 🫣

We had eggs for dinner and I couldn’t help but snap a picture of our speckles 😍

We have two new layers as of last week 👀 Look at that pretty shade of green😍

Last weekend I finally felt brave enough and tested out my birthday gift from my sweet husband! The bees are in good shape for the winter 🍯 very special shoutout to my sweet coworker for showing me what I was looking at 😉

These fig preserves have been two years in the making. Early last year when I decided I wanted to learn how to can, I mentioned it to a friend during an Open House. She made the comment she wished it was easier to find Fig and Pear preserves. It’s something I’ve kept in the back of my mind and this year I managed to find some local figs so decided to give it a try.

I make no promises how they turned out as that is some of the thickest syrup I have done to date 🫣

Now I’m off to try to find some pears 🍐

It’s been a very busy week so far! Potatoes and fig preserves hopefully will be done this weekend 😉

If I thought the spaghetti sauce was an act of love, by golly these pickles have it beat! Took a big ol’ chunk out of my finger last night when trying to use a mandolin 🥺

This was very much an act of love 😂 I’m not a fan of red sauce but my amazing husband would eat spaghetti every day if I cooked it. He really liked the homemade sauce, so guess who is getting another 60lbs of tomatoes to do 🫣

After a super busy day, it’s time to finally relax 😉

So last night I fed Root’n and had every intention of making dough before going to bed…spoiler I did not 🫣 so this morning I mixed her up and created my first legit loaf of Sourdough bread. So basically she took all day to rise but totally worth it when we finally got to enjoy a piece 🤤

I also bought a crate of corn from our favorite local produce stand Melton's Produce Shack (they help keep me busy and I love it ♥️) so of course I had to can it. 🤷‍♀️ the hubs stole a free pieces for the grill tomorrow but out of a crate I managed to get 14 pints to go in the cabinet. I’m thinking I’ll probably do another crate soon, I actually didn’t mind the process, but I’m going to try a can first to make sure I like it.

Tomorrow / Monday I’m picking up some red potatoes (also from Melton’s) and I think I’m going to do some canned sliced potatoes, but I wasn’t a huge fan of canned sweet potatoes. So the jury’s still out on that one. 🤔
