Canning

(Picture Source)

I have been a busy girl the last few months. Partly because it is canning season! I love to can. I know that sounds stupid and it is a lot of extra work. But the payoff is worthwhile. Not only do I know where my food comes from, but I know what is in it. I am able to control the amount of sugar and the amount of salt. Sure, I can buy practically the same thing on the self at the grocery store. But in my mind, there isn't even a need for comparison.

My favorite things to can are peaches and jams. I have a friend who cans a lot of meat, mainly chicken and roast beef. I swear they are some of the most tender meat I have ever tried. Interesting, right? I might have to try it.

Anyhow, here are some of my favorite canning sites.

Grilled Peaches

A new summer favorite...
Grilled Peaches and Cool Whip
Half a peach is 30 calories and little scoop of Cool Whip is 15

Chili Cheese Dogs

This was dinner last night...

Made with these...

Smart dogs are a great source of protein! For one dog, there is 45 calories, 0 fat, and 8 grams of protein. They are made with soy protein. As far as taste goes, not bad. The texture is like a hot dog. There is a little after taste, but when topped a little chili and cheese it was hard to tell. My husband really liked them.

A Classic Chicken and Pork hot dog runs about 150 calories and only 4 grams of protein.
