I am a happily married, stay at home mom with four sons, ages 27, 25, 21, and 17. I’m not a professional blogger, and I’m certainly not a foodie, chef, etc. But I like food, so I think I’m qualified to write about my own life experience with food. I hope you’ll join me in my foray into food storage.

Hello! Thank you for following my blog! I was surprised to see someone actually devoting a whole blog to preserving food. You see, as I grew up in the Soviet Union, making preserves was as as usual a thing as ordering pizza or eating at McDonald’s here in the U.S. Jams, fruit juices, salads, pickles, marinading all kinds of veggies, preserving herbs without drying, preserving meats and fish by marinading or drying, ans so on – imagination was the limit. So, good luck on your way to exploring and implementing food preservation!
