She's so pretty and joyful!

It's been a peaceful two days because I banned myself from Facebook and all news outlets. The world may be going to heck in a hand basket but I needed a break from all the ugly. I'll return but I will not allow the uglies to erase the good and the beautiful in the world! Like my granddaughter Kayla!

How did I save money today? I made and canned more chicken broth. When I learned how easy it was to make my own I became addicted to keeping my pantry stocked with this deliciousness! I learned on The Freedom Homestead vlog how to make it. Check them out on YouTube! I love her comment about how 'it looks like I'm cooking garbage'! All it took was a chicken carcass, leftover veggie scraps that I froze,  some garlic and whatever spices I have on hand with water to cover it all in a crock pot! Then I let it cook on low overnight. In the morning I drained all the healthy broth into a pot, heated it up and processed it for 20 minutes in a pressure canner! I got 7 beautiful pints and it's delicious!
