My husband and I have five young children (so far). We have always been interested in finding ways to create things ourselves that we enjoy. We figure if someone else can make it for us, then we can make it for ourselves.
Up until now we have had many experiments. Early on in our marriage a friend taught me how to make, and jar, apricot jam. Since then we have had the opportunity to fill our pantry with many different home canning products; jams, fruits, salsa, pickled beets, pinto beans, and even pork loin and roast turkey. We spent a summer learning the process to ferment cabbage into sauerkraut and kimchi. We set up a beehive, and learned just how strange bees are. We find recipes for things like hummus, using the most basic ingredients. And most recently we are learning how to make cheese in our own kitchen.
There are so many great experiences we have had learning how to do things ourselves, that we've decided that it is time to share some of these with you. We hope you enjoy learning with us!
