I have not yet tried this but I’m seriously going to consider it as I already have most of the items dehydrated and easily available for making. Would be perfect for my lunches during the week when I’m off work and hubby is working. Recipe from FB group Meals in Jars & Freezer Friendly Meals Dry Chicken Noodle Soup Mix in a Jar This classic Dry Chicken Noodle Soup Mix in a Jar recipe relies entirely on shelf-stable, dry ingredients, making it an excellent option for long-term pantry storage or single-serving convenience. 🌟 Yield: 1 Pint Jar (Makes 1 large single-serving bowl of soup, approximately 2 cups cooked) 🌟 Storage Shelf Life: Up to 5 to 10 years if packed with an oxygen absorber and vacuum-sealed in a cool, dark, dry place. If stored normally with a tight lid, it will last 6 to 12 months in the pantry. Jar Ingredients: • 2 tsp Chicken bouillon powder • 1 tsp Dried minced onion • ½ tsp Dried parsley flakes • ¼ tsp Garlic powder • ⅛ tsp Black pepper • Pinch Dried thyme • 2 Tbsp Dehydrated or freeze-dried celery • 2 Tbsp Dehydrated or freeze-dried carrots • ½ cup Dry egg noodles (or small soup pasta) Note: For a fully complete meal-in-a-jar, you can tightly pack ¼ cup of freeze-dried diced chicken directly into the jar right above the vegetables. Assembly Instructions: 1. Layer the Seasonings: Pour the chicken bouillon, dried onion, garlic powder, black pepper, parsley, and thyme into the bottom of a clean, completely dry pint-sized mason jar. 2. Add the Vegetables: Layer the dehydrated celery and carrots directly over the seasoning base. 3. Pack the Pasta: Fill the remaining space tightly with the dry egg noodles. 4. Seal for Storage: If storing long-term, place a 100cc oxygen absorber on top or vacuum-seal the jar with a jar attachment. Secure the lid and ring firmly. Cooking Directions: 1. Empty the entire contents of the pint jar into a small saucepan. 2. Add 2 cups of water and bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

Almost done processing everything from the garden. Just finished sanitizing all this squash -- over 50 pounds -- and now I have to figure out where to put it in my very small house. LOL. First time growing tromboncino squash. They are crazy productive!! Definitely recommended if you have space.

Just introducing myself here. I'm from north of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. My family and I moved to the country a year ago. We're living in the family cottage while we renovate another cottage to live in year-round. Big changes, but I'm much closer to my gardens now! Plus, I've recently retired, so it's much easier to keep up on gardening. Looking forward to being in this community!

Finally getting some cooler weather this weekend + much-needed rain, and my new blackberries, raspberries, and grapevines showed up just in time! Since we rebuilt the entire garden this year, I had to start over with all of these. Very bittersweet. While I'm sad to have lost 3+ years of growth from the blackberries, raspberries, and grapes I had in my last garden, I'm also really excited for these new ones. 😊 I chose some different varieties this time to hone in on flavor profiles, growth habit, and resilience based on my experience with the other ones. Can't wait to see how these new ones turn out! What did you get up to this weekend?

These guys love the garden. They are out here with me daily and it makes me so happy. Just wanted to share!
