CANNING: A visual aid...

What has been helping me with losing weight is to be able to visualise how much I've lost (and need to go)... To do this I visualise it in terms of cans of coke (or any canned drink)...

Most are 330ml which equates to 330g (in the UK anyway), so it's 3 cans per kg - or if you're using lbs, it's 1lb = 1 and a third cans cans...

So when you 'only' lose just under 1lb in a week, it's quite a lot, when you actually pick up a can. 2lb is 2.5 cans, etc, etc.

Happy canning!

LEARN TO CAN AND PRESERVE

Learning to can and preserve your own food does more than save you money. Many of the products on the market like canned tomatoes, beans, and fruits are canned in cans that have a lining that may be harmful to your health and can cause cancer. By canning your own food you save money and your health. Need help getting started? Go online, the library, or even your local cooperative extension has advice. You don't have to start out with pressure canning. (continued in more information)

Kick Up Chili Seasoning Mixes with Flavorful Add-Ins

I have a delicious “from scratch” chili recipe that calls for some unusual ingredients, but it takes forever to assemble.
To save time, I just add these items to a box of chili seasoning mix.
Here’s what I add-in – you can add as many or as few as you like.
For liquid add Beer, Beef Broth and Brewed Coffee.
For an interesting flavor add a Tablespoon each of Cocoa Powder and Brown Sugar.
For beans add a can each of Pinto Beans, Black Beans, Light & Dark Kidney Beans.
