Welcome to My Kitchen

This is the place that I love to be. I like to be creative and cooking is what is doing it for me these days. It's kind of a necessity and it makes me feel accomplished. I like knowing what we are eating and where it comes from. I go out of my way to make sure this happens.
I like that I don't buy several household staples from a grocery store. I enjoy making applesauce, jams and jellies, apple butter, spaghetti sauce, spicy mustard, pickles and anything else I can.
I like getting dirty, getting my hands into things, feeling and experiencing my food from the beginning to the end. I like making things, growing things and bringing those two together to create a healthy meal. I like nourishing others and knowing that I did my best to give them the best.

Cabbage Soup

This is my mom's recipe.  She never used meat in hers so I always liked it.  My grandma puts diced ham in hers which is good too.

1 can of tomato juice
2 sliced or diced carrots, however you like them
3 small potatoes, diced
1 small onion, diced
2 stalked of celery, diced or cut how you like
1 head of cabbage cut into chunks or pieces
salt and pepper to taste
1 jar of canned tomatoes
Method:
Add the tomato juice and then all your veggies except the can of tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.  Boil with lid on for at least an hour, until all of the veggies are tender.  Add the jar of tomatoes at the end, otherwise they will get too mushy.


I had this for lunch today with half a sandwich.  It was hearty and filling.  Actually, it was perfect for a rainy day like today. Oh, and this makes a ton.  You could freeze half or just eat until you are sick of it.
