To a pint jar of canned pork add peppers and onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, fajita seasoning, oregano, and parsley. You can also add cilantro. I added these ingredients to our taste but guessing for the spices about a half teaspoon of each. Feel free to add more or less according to your family’s taste. We don’t like things spicy hot but I did add a few shakes of cayenne powder. You could also use hot peppers but I did not. Salt and pepper to taste. This makes a really good pork sandwich.
Rice Mixes

I recently found this youtube channel and have been really enjoying her video. We love flavored rice so I am looking forward to trying these.
Update…I made the chicken rice mix for supper last night. It was way too salty for us. I will change the chicken bouillon to 1 tsp per cup of rice. Maybe 1 and 1/2 tsp
Hot sauce

Sam and I made our annual hot sauce today. We used the above recipe. We doubled the recipe. We made a few changes to the recipe. We used 12 oz jalapeno and 12 oz sugar rush peach peppers. We did 7 cloves of medium sized garlic. We did 2 cups white vinegar and 2 cups apple cider vinegar. We used 3 tbsp lemon juice.

While Sam and I were making the hot sauce, Grace and Katie put up our fall decorations. We had a really fun day!

Salsa Verde

Made a new to me recipe using tomatillos. The recipe came from this book.

Very excited to taste it. Hopefully it will be good.
Garden
Good morning everyone! Here are a few garden pictures. So far everything is looking good. We have harvested all the broccoli, just waiting on the shots to grow out for one last harvest. We have 3 cabbage plants remaining.

The beans are looking good and so are the tomatoes.


Patty pan squash in the grow bag, sunflowers that are looking beautiful and 2 cherry tomatoes behind the sunflowers.

An experiment, trying to grow a few ears of corn in one of the new raised beds.






That’s all for today. God bless!
Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate

This is such a great drink to have on hand. We love it. I substitute a 3 pound bag of frozen strawberries for the fresh and use bottled lemon juice.
I’m sure fresh ingredients would be better but using frozen strawberries and bottled lemon juice cuts down a lot on the cost of making it.
