    Canning and pickling food is a great way to have delicious summer fruits and vegetables all year round. Just make sure to follow the canning and pickling guidelines from the USDA or another trusted source. What are some foods that you would like to preserve and enjoy later in the year?

    First time baking bread and it wasn't perfect, but pretty good. I used a "peasant bread" recipe which doesn't require kneading. I plan to try again and maybe can make it better next time.

      My fiance' loves to pickle carrots and green beans! We eat it as a quick snack and helps deter us away from unhealthy food options when we are craving something more satisfying.

    Consider the ways you can garden: a plot of land? a patio container? hanging basket? windowsill gardens? What would work best for your living situation and lifestyle?

    I decided to start an herb garden in flowerpots. This seemed less daunting to me and easier to keep up.
