[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

I had two # 10 cans of black olives I'd gotten for cheap. I opened one yesterday to cook with.. now I have one and I'm water bathing the rest in jars on hand

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

@MarkJCarney How? Here in NFLD a man who drove while impaired and killed 2 young ladies just got out of jail after 151 days. I'd get more time if I illegally poached a moose

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

1st batch done

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

Ready for the oven. 2nd batch of dough is mixing now

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

Coming together

My work station

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

Preparing to make more "hot pockets" (hubs calls them that) for the week. I'm totally taking advantage of the cooler weather to make some and keep my weight loss going.

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

I do things like buy 2.84L cans of olives on sale. It's very "rebel canning" but I break them down into jelly jars and water bath can them so I can use when needed and the math works out to be way cheaper than a reg can at the grocery store

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

Supper from the pantry.. Jesus does it ever smell good

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

Today's @flashfood haul

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

How I afford to eat while making sure my autistic daughter has her "safe foods" as a low income family.
I use @Flashfoodinc to get the ingredients for cheap and pressure can meals in jars or plain ingredients in jars.
@FoodProfessor preserving needs to be discussed more

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

Baked result

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

I'm doing kitchen things again... pepperoni, deli turkey... black olives, Swiss cheese and classico vodka pasta sauce

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

I present the burrito bowl/taco salad.. I honestly can't remember if I posted an update... it's been a day

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

I know, it doesn't look very good atm. But I got a sick kid and we still need to eat even in this heat. I don't want to heat up the kitchen, so burrito in a jar into the slowcooker on high to reheat, a salad kit and nachos..sour cream and cheese ... taco salad it is

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

Well son of a bitch!
It took two of us (myself and friend) and a hammer but after a lot of cussing and frustration we got the damn busted doorknob off and replaced.
Never get in the way of an angry newfie woman with a hammer.. shit got DONE!

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

Sensory time with kiddo. She loves it here.

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

@Flashfoodinc Meant to add. This cost $9.14

[blitzerda @Blitzerda]

Today's @Flashfoodinc haul. 4 lovely salads (great for summer in the heat and I'm down a total of 12lbs now) some snap peas for snacking and I'm a suckered for garlic bread. Also, just picked up 10lbs of breakfast sausages
