Our garden is really starting to get me excited! A lot of our perennial plants are in their third year and and beginning to go BOOM.

We planted our potatoes and onions a couple weeks back and I'm beginning to see the potatoes break soil. (I may or may not squeal on my daily to semi-daily walks.)

Nearly all of my 200+ garlic cloves sprouted, setting me up for my 400 head goal for next year...

I could go on but my point is I am grateful for this wealth and the soil underneath my nails. This little piece of land helped save my sanity and my soul.

I have been working on labels for the last couple weeks, trying to make canning season a little easier on myself. While I was really proud of what I first came up with, I’ve decided to make a change and and some on my personality to the labels! I’ve also changed the way I will be labelling the jars this year making cleaning, and reusing your jars a breeze!

Look for new labels on this seasons products, I’ll share more as the spring goes on!

It may be spring, but up until today, it had still been chilly outside.

I make my own chai latte concentrate to keep in the pantry for whenever I get a craving. I mix equal parts chai concentrate, and milk (any type will work) and warm through. It also works great for a iced latte as well!

Making my own concentrate has been a game changer! I can make it decaf for my own needs, and I LOVE adding extra cinnamon to the mix. It is also a lot more cost effective which can be a good thing.

Look at this soup! The homemade turkey broth is so gelatinous after being refrigerated it turned to jello! I love jello, this is personally my favourite type! It may look intimidating but I promise it's a flavour bomb, and so healthy for you, and once warmed, the broth turns back to liquid.

One smaller turkey turned into 3 hot dinners, 5 sandwiches, 4 liters of soup + 1 bowl, and a liter of broth. This is a reason why I cook at home; I can make the most with the ingredients I have at hand.

I canned the soup in my pressure canner and now its shelf stable for whenever I need, or want.

While I've been waiting for spring to really arrive, I've been making alot of meals out of freezer and pantry staples.

Cleaning out the cupboards before the fresh produce starts to roll in. I like to reset in the spring to give myself a good foundation for the year ahead. It's been wet and cold so no complaints about beans and chicken soup still around here!

I can't wait for garden and preserving season to arrive!

What are you doing while you wait for spring to fully get here?

What's your favourite pantry staple?

Mine is homemade chicken soup.

Never the same, it depends on what is in the cupboard and fridge. Homemade broth, always some sort of bean, and probably more veggies than meat.

I love coming home from a busy day and being able to open a couple jars and have a homemade dinner in minutes.

Canned goods are underrated. Canned goods are really cool, I promise.

I'm grateful it seems this weekends weather is going to be a lot more tame than originally called for where I live in Nova Scotia.

To be prepared lately I've been prepping some easy proteins and sides incase our power goes out. Almond butter cookies count as protein right? Each cookie contains atleast 5g or more protein, are gluten free and are a guaranteed smile bringer in my household.

Other things I did to prepare are getting a rotisserie chicken and completely deboning and slicing it for quick and easy sandwiches, made apple crumble with h**p hearts for added protein (see the trend here,) and hard-boiled some eggs for a filling snack.

We always have preserved veggies on hand for quick and nutritious, and power free sides.

Each storm that comes through we learn a little more and more on how being prepared looks for us, something I to, am grateful for.

Sunshine and beet toast are on my list of things making me happy today. One of my favourite ways to eat beets are on toast with soft cheese, and a little balsamic vinegar.

I cannot get enough of Annapolis Fine Cheese fresh spreadable cheese, especially the truffle flavour! Carried at many markets now from Greenwich to Wolfville, and even the Atlantic Superstore, I couldn't recommend them more!

Now excuse me while I have my late lunch and enjoy some homemade beets (still in stock!) and some yummy cheese together.
