DIY Spice Blend

I discovered a couple of places to buy spices super cheap. This makes me very happy for a couple of reasons. Cheap spices and buying in bulk. This also means that making my own spice blends will be cheaper and can be made in larger amounts. I'm not getting anything from these companies for mentioning them but I really loved what I ordered so I am simply sharing with you. The first one was Marshall's Creek Spices and the second was My Spice Sage . Marshall's Creek has flat shipping with larger sizes. My Spice Sage has free shipping with an assortment of sizes. The selection is fantastic. So I ordered every spice that I didn't have that was on the Mrs. Dash label. I have to tell you, there are SO many different things in Mrs. Dash! You'll see soon what I mean. Depending on how often you use these spices it might be a good project to do as a group with everyone pitching in. I searched the internet for copycat recipes and they all varied quite a bi

Alleviate Congestion With This Simple Meal

I get colds too much. I have my entire life. Not simple colds like normal people get. Mine start out easy then quickly become an infection. Sinus, bronchitis, pneumonia. Yuck! It's pretty miserable. I don't get sick as often as I used to but when I do there is one simple recipe that can clear you up, even if just for a short time. Whenever we got a sniffle as kids we would get this for dinner. We never complained because we actually liked it. It was simple and effective and easy on our tummies. I'll tell you why it works after the recipe. Ready? Here it is. Cook some elbow macaroni until tender. Drain. Add some milk. Salt to taste. Black Pepper. As much as you can handle. The key ingredient is pepper. I'm a wimp and can't take much. The more the better so I use just a bit more than I can handle. I'm congested so it's easier to handle. After the first few bites you will notice your congestion starting to loosen up.

Cherry Syrup

I decided this morning that I had more than enough cherries to experiment a little bit. I searched online for recipes for cherry syrup to can and really didn't find any that were great. Some called for more cherries, less sugar, longer cooking times, no water etc. I wanted to stay within the canning guidelines so took ideas from them all and made sure I used lemon juice to make it acidic. I also did not make a large amount. 4 half pints is what I ended up with. That should last for a very long time. Other than cherry soda or cherry lemonade I will be on a mission for recipes that use cherry syrup. It will be a huge plus if there is chocolate in the recipe. At this point too I am quite sick of cherries for this year. Tomorrow I will finish up the maraschino cherries and then I will be completely done with them. This is how 20 pounds of cherries got pitted. One by one. On top of the syrup I made 10 more pints of cherry pie filling today. I believe 20 pints ought to last
