Fall Canning Adventures

This year I have decided to take on a new hobby of canning. It was something I was privileged to grow up with my mum and grandma who did heaps of it and I got to enjoy their hard work. I thought with being pregnant and with being a mum of an active toddler why not give canning a try so that we always have healthy options in the house throughout the winter.
I have been enjoying the wealth of fruits and vegetables from friends and family and their luscious gardens. My Grandma brought by apples from her tree that were so delicious, Eva was eating them faster then I could cut them. With them I made apple sauce, apple crisp, and sliced them up and froze for apple pie making with Grandma. I just love knowing that I am eating and cooking with fruits and vegetables that are natural with no preservatives or sprays.. just a little bird poo.

Last week I made homemade tomato soup and lentil soup, I love having warm hearty soups for lunch.

I love how changes of seasons inspire new hobbies and interests. I love being able to stretch myself as a mother, wife and cook. I find there is so much out there to learn and discover that I want to seize every season in life and every new adventure. I have been really interested in learning Chinese cooking, so thinking it might be time to sign up for a new cooking class and learn a new culture of yummies!
