Savory Zucchini Muffins, Comfrey, and more!

Hi, Reader! It is peak gardening and harvest season for everyone, and I bet you might be drowning in zucchini. So I have a new video today on how to dry it, and how to create a savory zucchini muffin that will give you a great breakfast or snack, especially for those of you who are trying to get off the sweat muffins! Click the image to watch the video! We learn about correct muffin blending, what happens when you forget an ingredient, and why your muffins might be a little tough! Learn even more ways to use zucchini And in case you missed it last week - I took you on a tour of my favorite garden that is a complete non-profit garden that donates its produce and chicken meat and eggs to nearby food pantries to help feed the families who need a helping hand in the area. I'm helping her harvest and preserve her comfrey stock so that she can raise more money to help support the farm! And one of the things we talk about is using foods that might be wilted or a little older than you think are good - tldr: they are still useful to dry! I am away this weekend to go to a star gazing party with to see the Perseid meteor shower and take our telescopes out to see some stars and other objects! I'm really looking forward to it and taking some of my muffins as snacks on the trip! I hope you have a great weekend, and I'll talk to you when I get back! Until next time... Nevertheless, she preserved! Darcy! P.S. Have you ever seen a meteor before?

Hi, Reader! This weekend I was so excited to show you a great project to do in your dehydrator. It's great for putting up food quickly without fuss or prep, can help bring heat and humdity to your home when you need it (those of us in the winter now - especially after the ice storms), and bring security to your food pantry. But then...this happened. My dehydrator burned most of the trays of food. Some full trays, some just spots. While I have a theory of what might have happened, I can't test...
Hi, Reader! If you are going to experience the big winter weather event happening this weekend, tell me how you're going to prepare for it. Are you: Panic-buying all the bread, milk, and TP Relying on what you already have stored Somewhere in the middle? I'm in the middle Relying on what we have, but also buying snacks and goodies to keep us from getting completely bored being stuck in the house for 3 days (potentially). We're shoring up plumbing things this evening to make sure outside...
Hi, Reader! In the deepest part of winter, dehydrating food may not be on your mind. You've just survived the Holidays, the weather outside is frightful, and you just want to curl up and hibernate until Spring. However, it's important that we never remove ourselves so much from stocking our pantries that we completely miss out on a great time of year to put things away for when we really need them. Imagine one of these scenarios: Being socked in by snow or ice and can't get to a store for...
