Homemade

We have moved more toward making as many things as we can from scratch.  I feel like our society tells us that it's too "hard" to make things from scratch or homemade things that can be easily purchased at the grocery store.  What I've found is that it's not necessarily harder to make things from scratch, but it does require a little more planning than stopping by the grocery store.  Here are a few things we've done that are homemade or made from scratch:


This is the table Chad made for our deck so we can use it for canning and also for when we grill to have some counter space.


Our first batch of refrigerator pickles.  We didn't have our canner situation set up in time when all our pickling cucumbers were coming in from the garden.


Our first batch of homemade chicken stock - we got 7 cups of stock.


Our first batch of home canned tomatoes from the farmer's market.
