okay,
I live in the desert so we cannot grow much but chili and onions, some corn but it just gets too hot and is too dry to grow lots of nice veggies and fruits...
having said that, this idea of canning whole meals completely intriques me. What a great way to stretch meals when meats etc go on sale. This has never even occurred to me.
I am a stay at home mom and completely have time to do this and I love to cook. Those of you already doing this, where should I start to get the basics? The vids phen posted were great but I have not been to the site.
My mind is just running wild right now with preserving beans etc. I really want to do this but not even sure where to buy all that equipment....
Thanks in advance
Quoting: zephyrWe have plastic plates with snap on lids that have three or four sections. We will cook mashed potatoes, greens, a fresh veggie, and meat. Then we fill each section of a plate with one item, then put the plates in the freezer. The meals are easy to microwave and stay good for up to three months. During the winter we are all too busy to cook much and we are on different schedules. Homemade MRE's make it easy to eat a quick balanced meal when you are only cooking for one.
