I have been bit by the canning bug once again. Aldi's last week had baby carrots on sale for $0.49 a pound...so silly me goes and buys 21 bags. They also had pineapple for $0.99 each. I bought 3. I canned carrots Saturday and Tuesday. Today I am canning pineapple with grapefruit! 3 pineapple and 2 grapefruit made 7 pints! whoo baby!
Also I have a recipe to share with you all. Tuesday night I made what I call Stuffed Noodles, it is a recipe I made up a few months ago and my hubby and I really like it!
Ingredients:
2 packages cream cheese, room temp
1 box frozen chopped spinach
bacon grease and 2 pieces bacon
A little bit of heavy cream
salt, garlic powder, onion powder
noodles either JUMBO SHELLS or MANICOTTI, cooked and cooled
mushrooms are optional
Fry your bacon (I usually just fry a whole package to get the grease) after your bacon is done add the spinach to your grease, cook it until heated through, crumble 2 pieces of bacon in it. Meanwhile in a mixing bowl add 2 packages of cream cheese and a bit of cream (I really don't measure this I just pour a bit in here and there) add your spinach, mushrooms and mix it all up. Add seasonings to taste.
After cream cheese mixture is well blended add mixture to a gallon sized ziplock baggie, cut off the corner and squeeze mixture into noodles (think pastry bag). Lay noodle in a casserole dish, pour a jar of Spaghetti sauce over the top. Sprinkle cheese (any kind of shredded cheese really - I use Mozzerella mostly though)
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until cheese is all melted and bubbly. Serve.
This is a great way to get the kids to eat spinach!

Honestly, my kids LOVE spinach! Do you know what they WON'T eat??? CANNED CARROTS! That's right; my weird kids like spinach and hate cooked carrots. They would be happy as a clam if I just put them on their dinner plates cold (or, occasionally, Mr. Farmer will warm them in a pan on the stove and candy them with brown sugar).
Oh yeah, and here in the mountains in PA we haven't had snow since Halloween. Wh?!?!?!
