Hello, Thank you for your kind comment. Yes, I do plan my meals at the start of the week. First check what I have, then buying the missing ingredients. 💐❤️

@@Frugalpleasuresinretirement Perfect way to eat well on a budget. I arrange my pantry and freezer by use-by date, and that determines the theme of my meals for the week ahead. I cook from scratch and rarely put anything in the recycling bin now.

Dear Lynn, Thank you for your kind support. Funny you mention the door art, what you saw was me trying to place the cut outs before gluing. As we speak I just finished to glue all doors, hopefully will frame it tomorrow. Sorry about my voice. Will have to turn it down when I talk😊. 💐❤️

Thank you Ursula.😊

Hello Nadine, I am using an old fashioned method when it comes to canning..😊I grew up in Moldova, during that time we didn’t pressure cookers, all we did is water bath canning on the stove. I prefer this method, because I am used to it, and I know how to… A friend gave me a pressure cooker, but I gave it away as to me is a bit too complicated. Meat canning I do in glass jars in the oven for 2.5 hours. Eventually will make video how I can. I never canned potatoes, just freeze them.

Meat canning would be interesting to learn

Yum😊, any leftovers?🙏 . Amazing! I should try your meal as I love cabbage. Thank you for sharing. Have a lovely day!

Hello, Thank you for your kind support and sweet comment. ❤️ It is not a ham like in the store, it just meat in jars. There was pork loin on sale, so I bought, cut in chunks seasoned and canned in glass jars in the oven for 2.5 hours. Whenever I need I just add in my soups or as serve with potatoes, rice, etc. Will make a video eventually. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have. Vera

Thank you for your kind support💐❤️
