I can pickles and salsa--something both DH and I enjoy eating. This year my 5 tomato plants gave us enough for 10 pints of sauce besides the salsa, but I don't usually make tomato sauce because of the time involved. I make wholewheat buns for myself. One batch gives me enough for 3 weeks. DH does his own Keto baking, which I am very thankful for. I don't do much other baking because I'd rather have salty than sweet. But at Christmas, there are a couple of traditional cookie recipes that I make to share with the family.

Because of stomach issues, our dog gets a heaping tablespoon of pumpkin every day. Since canned pumpkin has nearly doubled in price in the last year, I took advantage of Halloween and chopped up, microwaved, mashed and froze the equivalent of 5 cans ($30 worth) for $1.97 and a bit of work! Joe hasn't noticed any difference. That was definitely a win/win!
