Making Soap and Dehydrating Fruit

Crafted some Lavender Goat's Milk soap with my harvested flowers! Do any of you make soaps or other crafts? I am also dehydrating some grapefruit to use in my homemade potpourri. Having a fun and relaxing 4th. of July week!

Homemade Soaps

Our first batch of Honey Almond Oatmeal Goat's Milk and the other is Cucumber Melon Goat's Milk. All made with natural ingredients. No harsh chemicals like store bought soaps. These soaps are very gentle on skin and are moisturizing. They leave your skin feeling soft, clean, and smooth.

 Fermented Salsa

You can ferment foods because it's good for your microbiome, or you can do it because you like the science experiment aspect of cooking, or you can do it because it tastes good. Whatever your reason, you'll be glad you did when you try this tangy, almost effervescent salsa recipe.

New Supplies for Homemade Products

Hi everyone! I have received a new batch of supplies for making my soaps and salves. I am also going to try my hand at lip balms this time as well.

I had to purchase a new scale along with beeswax, melt and pour soap, essential oils, Castile soap, Shea Butter and Vitamin E Capsules.

I also bought some new amber colored jars and lip balm tubes. I will get started and update soon with photos of how things turned out! 

Happy New Year to you All!

Small Batch Canning and Dehydrating

Well made a small batch of Black Raspberry Preserves, and dehydrated zucchini and yellow squash..filled a pint jar which when re-hydrated will yield 6 squash! Can't wait to make beef jerky and more veggies. Cooking down the apples for applesauce as well. Good day!

Making Relish and Getting Ready for Fall!

Made my first batch of Zucchini Relish! Starting with small batches to make it easier. Next I will be making Red or Black Raspberry Jam and some Pickled Spiced Plums to serve with Pork Roast or Beef. The Fall centerpiece here on the table was an idea from Pinterest..thought it was pretty cute and easy to make.
