This is where you will find our homemade and handed down recipes from tested and tries specialist! Most comprised of Great Grandma's, Grandma's, and Mothers!
I have fond these folks to be the best of the best when it comes to cooking and preparing meals!
Here in America some folks call the Main Course Dishes, the "entrée". Here at our house we call it, Dinner or Supper, depending on who is speaking!
At any rate the Main Course is normally comprised of a meat or fish and followed by pretty much what ever we folks have made or can codger up for a good dessert! Sometimes it might be as simple as a Root Beer Float!
I know, all those fancy folks have all kinds of appetizers, soups and salads planned but here we just wing it most evenings! This is where all these recipes come in handy! Sometimes the Main Course is referred to as the "Meat Course" and I for one like that!
It has become a difficult thing for me to set down to a dinner or supper, depending on where you come from will all depend on what you call it, without a dish of meat of some kind! Even if it is a small piece, it just doesn't seem to be complete without the meat! (I didn't mean to rhyme) 😉
We don't do formal dining here as the kitchen, dining and living rooms all serve as a place to eat and the cabinet tops are the resting place for the cooked meals and these recipes reflect that! If you do formal dining, these recipes will still serve you well.

With that being said, let me say, I am not a dietician nor am I a medical advisor! I have received a couple of emails from folks saying they saw ingredients that was not very diabetic friendly in a couple of these recipes.

The following Category is one not many people still participate in today! Those who do though wouldn't trade it for anything!
Canning your home grown vegetables, fruits, meats, etc. is one of the oldest forms or preserving foods since the method was invented.
Canning will give your food a shelf life of 1 - 5 years depending on the product, temperature and seal on the can! Canned foods retain their nutriens as well as and better than some fresh foods.
During recessions is when most folks tend to want to learn about canning and food preservation as they fear their readily supply of food may be cut short or completely off.
Most homesteaders I know still can and put up food every fall for the coming winter and spring. We have beans available from 3 years ago that still taste as good as the day they were canned!
The list of canned foods in this category are,
Fruits & Vegetables
Meats & Seafoods
Fruits & Juices
Canning Equipment & Canning Manuals
