Faith, Love & Truth
today miss jade and i are heading off on a girlie roadtrip…not of the fun sort though, we are heading to ny to attend my grandmas viewing and funeral…and we’ll be right back home tomorrow…if you could, please keep my family in your prayers as this will be a hard two days…
sooooooo wish us luck and say another prayer (or two) as i’ve never EVER drove on the interstate before…i’m nervous to drive it alone BUT kinda excited for a new accomplishment…

sooooo as most of you know, i love to can…i know, it’s freakish BUT seriously, i love it…i love at the end of the day having something to show for how hard i worked…and that we basically reap the rewards of it all year long…
right now the tomatoes and peppers are really coming on…so that means sauce and hot pepper dip…i’m also going to try a new recipe this year, hot pepper mustard sauce (recipe below)…so what i want ya’all to do is leave me your FAV canning recipe in the comments section or email it to me at cutcutler1903@aol.com i loooove to try new recipes!!!
hot pepper mustard sauce
soak 48 – 50 peppers (hot wax/hungarian) in 1 cup salt and enough water to cover peppers. soak for 2 hours or overnight.
drain peppers. shread peppers to desired texture. heat of mixture is controlled by seeds, remove all seeds for a milder mix (this is what i’ll be doing, i’ll probably put one pepper in WITH seeds)
put peppers in kettle with the following:
1 quart yellow mustard (french’s)
1 quart vinegar
4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon salt
cook until it comes to a boil (stir frequently), then take 1 cup flour mixed with enoughw ater to make at thickening, add it to the pepper mix and cook until it thickens. put in jars and seal
1 batch = 9 pints
out for now

we had a great {but sad} weekend…
friday…
friday after i got off work i rushed home to shower and get ready for my meeting with a future bride. we were also watching my cousin krista’s two kids while she attended her grams viewing. so joe, jade, tori, tristan and i all headed off to state college (joey had football practice). i had a wonderful meeting with the sweetest bride-to-be. we ate dinner at subway and got a few groceries that i needed. then we headed home.
saturday…
saturday morning i got up early and put a crockpot full of meatballs on to cook for the meal after aunt grace’s funeral. we got ready and headed down to the viewing. when we came back home we got ready and headed out for lunch. joey didn’t want to miss out on the meal and he was going to a friends house to stay saturday night. when we got back home i received word that my sweet grandma seymour in ny has passed away. i was hoping to see her when we went up labor day weekend. by then it was time for me to get ready for my senior photoshoot saturday evening.
sunday…
i got up early and started breakfast, i made the carrot cake pancakes with cream cheese spread. and oh, they didn’t disappoint. they were just delish!! we then got ready and headed off to church. after church jade’s friend maddy came over to spend the day and play. we went out for dinner and then back home to play. later in the day we decided it would be fun if maddy stayed the night. i just love listening to little girl giggles in my house 🙂 so a good good time was had by all yesterday. joey decided to stay an extra night at his friends house.
out for now
