Busy time of year! The garden is still producing like crazy and I'm rushing around trying to keep up with it. I've learned so many new things this year from some wonderful people and I'm excited to share it all with you. I wish I had 4 more hours in each day or a clone to help me. But I'll just do my best.  We just picked our last crop of corn. We usually plant the corn spaced out about 2-4 weeks so that we can harvest corn for a couple of months. Fresh sweet corn is one of our favorite treats from the garden.  Today I'm going to show you how to freeze corn off the cob. You can also freeze the actual cobs, but this is my preferred method because it takes less freezer space and we all know how precious freezer space is this time of year.  How to Freeze Corn Printable Tutorial Step 1:  Pick or buy sweet corn. The fresher the better. Corn will lose its flavor and sweetness really quickly. Fill up a big pot with water. I like to use a water bath canner because it holds ...

You know every now and again you find some food that's like the hallelujah chorus for food. It just sings with your soul and you could eat it every day. This recipe is one of those for me. We love to eat this served over brown rice and topped with fresh salsa. Mmmmh. I've adapted the original recipe (given to me by my sister-in-law) quite a bit to make it pressure cooker friendly and sugar free. Pressure Cooker Sweet Pork Printable Recipe *The original recipe was actually made in a crockpot. You can still make it that way if you want. I haven't tried it since my sugar-free adaptations, but I'm sure it would work just fine. Brown in a separate frying pan and then cook it in the crock until meat is fall off the bone tender - about 6-8 hours. INGREDIENTS: 1/4 Cup Canola or Olive oil 4 lb.

Now that it's back to school I'm once again on the lookout for healthy snack foods for after school and school lunches. I ran into this recipe a while back and it's been on my "to-try list" for a while. I finally decided to make it today and boy I'm glad I did. This is a wonderful, love-at-first bite type recipe. I shouldn't even compare these to the vanilla wafer cookies that you buy in a box at the store because really there's no comparison. It's like comparing store bought rolls with homemade fresh from the oven rolls. These wafer cookies have a sweet, buttery vanilla flavor that resonates with my soul. The fact that they're whole-grain and sugar-free makes me happy to eat them and happy to share them with my family. And of course happy to share the recipe with you, my fabulous readers. I'm quite certain if there was a sugar-free snack heaven, these bite-size, crispy vanilla wafers would be there. Homemade Vanilla Wafers (Sugar-Free) Pri...

I realize I've posted a lot of pizza recipes recently. But I had to squeak this one in there with the others because of how much I love it this time of year. It uses so many wonderful garden vegetables and fresh herbs from the garden. Of course you can make it any time of the year and switch around the veggies and meats to your heart's content. Our picky ones often have a hard time with casseroles so I must admit that I was a little nervous about making this the first time. I decided to change the name to "Upside Down Pizza" because I knew that our kids love pizza. To my great delight, after just a few bites this dish was given a thumbs up by all. And even the leftovers that I reheated in the oven two days later were gobbled up and very much enjoyed. Upside Down Pizza Printable Recipe *Serves 6-8 INGREDIENTS: 1 Tbsp. olive oil 1/2 lb. uncooked Italian Sausage links, sliced 1 Medium onion, chopped fine 1 bell pepper (any color), diced finely 2 medium zucchini, chopped ...
