I'm not doing very well keeping up with this blogging.... and no one is following me or checking out my posts anyway....If perhaps someone does check out my posts, I pray you are having a great day and I wish God's blessings in your life.
It's going to be a HOT day, here in Montana!!! Forecast is for 95F!!! Too hot for me, Thank heaven for A/C!! I have watered the flower beds and our tomato plants. I'll clean up my kitchen and get ready to can WA Bing cherries this morning, and also bring up the dehydrator to preserve part of the fresh pineapple I bought last weekend. Getting ready for winter is hard work, but I do enjoy canning so much.
Prayers are in for our tomato plants to produce a lot, so we can make our spaghetti sauce and salsa to can. The last jar of spaghetti sauce was used weeks ago, which we canned 2 years ago. Didn't make any last year due to no garden. That was due to flooding in our area, that lasted way into June!! We already have a short growing season, that didn't help!
Today is my umpteenth time of renewing my resolve to lose weight. Actually, I started a couple weeks ago. Haven't done too bad, but really going to make an effort to eat very healthy and stop eating the crap!! This morning's breakfast is a wonderful smoothie of raspberries, blackberries, apple, CLICK espresso protein powder, coconut milk (unsweetened), and ice. Put it all in our Blendtec and away it goes! Tastes wonderful! Get some great antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals. I love our Blendtec!! It is a great machine for the smoothies!
In the vein of trying to eat healthy, this last week, I ordered fruits and veggies from a group called Bountiful Baskets... They have an FB page, so look it up if, Dear Reader, you happened to want fresh fruits and veggies, but hate paying supermarket prices. You pay a certain amount of money (for the regular basket) and it is 50% veggies and 50% fruits. In the basket we picked up on Saturday, there were strawberries, limes, mangoes, plums, nectarines, tomatoes, zucchini, lettuce, bananas, green beans, mushrooms and a few other things, I can't remember right this minute. Extras (that you pay extra for) were the WA Bing cherries, and pineapple. Plus an extra veggie pack that had yellow squash, garlic, onion, parsley and a couple other things. They also have 3 different kinds of bread (that is bought in 5 loaf packages), organic veggies/fruits and their specially made granola.
I think it's a great organization. They don't call themselves a co-op..... Check it out,....I hope one is in your area. www.bountifulbaskets.org
well, I better get to cleaning the kitchen and work on canning the cherries and pineapple.
Have a wonderful day.
