Autosomal DNA results can be confusing, especially if you're new to all of this genealogy stuff. This is how I explain it to my friends who have a difficult time understanding all of it.

This is actually from our very first hive two years ago. Sadly, the girls didn't overwinter. We're going to do what some other beeks to and not insulate them. This year's hive was super strong, gave us 20# of honey and no hive beetles- yay!

We were able to pull five medium frames of honey from our one hive this season. Our area is full of goldenrod and knotweed which makes for a wonderfully rich color and flavor.

Canning chicken, or any other protein such as beef, pork, fish, turkey, venison, etc., is a great option for food storage. Canned proteins are fully cooked and ready to eat and won't spoil if you lose power to your fridge or freezer. A pound of ready canned beef can cost upwards of $7.00 at the grocery store, so it's a great way to cut costs too. If you like this, please subscribe and give me a rumble. Thanks!

I found this recipe in an old recipe book and I hope you like it. It only has 4 ingredients; lemons, apples, sugar and water, no pectin. This video is probably way too long, but hey, whatevs.

Dehydrating is a great way to make your own healthy snacks, save space in your pantry, preserve food for long term storage, and it's fun!

Granola isn't just for hikers and hippies, and it's super easy to make - or you can just buy some. The cost effectiveness and "healthiness" all depends on what you put in it; nuts are pricey and candy coated chocolate candies aren't health food. I make it because I enjoy it. That's all.

Fall has arrived, winter is on the way and who doesn't love a warm cup of tomato soup? This is a great way to use a variety of different kinds of tomatoes at the end of the season and a great alternative to making sauce or salsa.

Yay! It worked! How do you store all of your jars though? This is part of the process that's often overlooked but it's just as important.

My very first canning video, I hope you liked it. If you do it right, all of your jars will seal and like everything there's a learning curve so if one doesn't, don't worry. Canning is easy and fun, but there are safety guidelines you need to follow. One of the best resources is the National Center for Home Food Preservation, you can read and download their canning guide here: https://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/publications_usda.html This recipe is adapted from Dilled Green Tomatoes found in the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving.

This vaccine mandate is unconstitutional. It's simply wrong on so many levels.
