🥒 When your stand-up fridge is FULL of fermented pickles… you know it’s going to be a good year! 🙌
The pickle production is officially out of control… in the BEST possible way! 😂
Crocks, jars, and shelves packed with all that delicious, tangy, crunchy goodness. And just when you think you’re looking at ALL the pickles… think again! 👀
This isn’t even all of them! We have another fridge full of our already-jarred pickles… AND we still have 4 more crocks sitting on the counter! 🫣🥒
Apparently, we may have gotten a little carried away with the cucumbers. 😂
Feeling pretty grateful for this abundance! 💚
Here’s to a year full of crunchy, fermented pickles! 🫙✨

🌩️🍑 Well, last week was quite the storm! 🍑🌩️
We had parts of trees come down onto the hydro lines and poles at our house, leaving us without power for a while. 🌲⚡️
But that didn’t stop us from getting our hands on TWO FLATS of beautiful peaches! 🍑🍑
We didn’t can them without Hydro 😂 only because the wasps 🐝 are terrible because their tree was disturbed. So no outdoor burners use this time! But, the minute the power came back on, we were ready to go!
Peaches waiting ✔️
Jars ready ✔️
Supplies ready ✔️
Hydro back ✔️
Let’s get preserving! 🙌🍑

Because peach season waits for no one! 😉

🌟 Meet Me Monday: The Preserving Chef 🌟

This week's Meet Me Monday features Connor and Laura Flynn, the owners of The Preserving Chef! ❤️

What started as a passion for providing healthier meals for their family has grown into a business dedicated to reducing food waste, supporting local producers, and sharing the art of food preservation with others.

From balancing busy family life with six children to teaching, homeschooling, and preserving the season's harvest, Connor and Laura are passionate about creating delicious, home-preserved foods that can be enjoyed year-round.

Learn more about their story, what inspires them, and their favourite Huron East traditions in this week's Meet Me Monday. Be sure to show them some love in the comments! 💚

🥒 CUCS! We’re officially CUC’d OUT! 😂🥒

🌿 Our family got home from holidays yesterday and are feeling incredibly grateful for this abundance! 🥒❤️
There’s something so special about this time of year. the garden is overflowing, the kitchen is busy, and the preserving never seems to stop!
Fresh cucumbers, beautiful dill, and a whole lot of raspberries… all that goodness just waiting to be turned into something delicious. 🥒🌿❤️
This is why we preserve! To capture the flavours of the season and enjoy them long after the harvest is gone. From fermented pickles to frozen raspberry for raspberry apple fruit leather and future jam and everything in between, we’re making the most of what this season has given us.
Full freezers, full fridges, full pantry, and very grateful hearts. ❤️
What are you preserving from your garden right now? 👇

🌿💚 When your husband brings basil home…
The BEST bouquet ever! 💐🌿
Thank you, Madelaine, for this beautiful basil! There’s nothing quite like a big bundle of fresh, local basil to make the kitchen smell amazing and get us thinking about all the delicious ways we can preserve it. 😍
Pesto, dried basil, basil butter… so many possibilities!
What would YOU do with this beautiful bunch of basil? 👇

Most people today feel trapped between conflicting messages about eating healthy or having a healthy lifestyle. I ask again, what is healthy?!
