In the Kitchen with Linda

April 22, 2013 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy 1 Comment

I was able to get in the kitchen and cook something besides meals. Well, I did eat some of the gluten free corn bread muffins I made with my supper one night. I put a big container of these in the freezer for me to eat later. 🙂 Here’s the recipe I used. Whole Wheat Sweet Cornbread. To make gluten free, I use 1/2 cup all purpose gluten free flour and 1/2 cup oat flour in place of the 1 cup whole wheat flour. I have also used 1 cup of the all purpose gluten free flour. I like the texture and nutrition better with using the oat flour. Next time, I want to try using all oat flour.

I canned quite a few jars of beans a few months ago, and I have enjoyed the convenience of just opening a jar. yes, I know you can buy canned beans in the store. lol It’s so much cheaper to cook dry beans, though, and they have much less salt than store bought canned beans. Anyway, I reached deep in the cabinet to get  a jar. When I was pulling it out, the lid was loose, and the liquid was spilling out. When I got the jar out of the cabinet it looked like this.

Yuck! Yes, that is mold on top of the beans. Disgusting! I’m not sure how this happened, as I’m super careful to check the seals on the jars. I check several times, then I wash the jars before putting them away. Including all around the lids. I take the bands off before storing, as is recommended. So I’m not sure when the lid was loosened, as I would have discovered it while washing the jar. I’m sharing this as a reminder to those that can their own food, check and double check. Then when you are ready to eat the food, check the seal again. Keep your eyes open for any signs that the food isn’t good. I always smell the food before I use it, too. Even though they say you can’t see or smell botulism, there are other bacteria that you can see or smell that will also make you sick.

Yes, I’m going to continue to can my own food, including beans. And yes, I’m going to continue to be super careful.

 

 

Now…. to answer the question that I get asked about a hundred times a day……….

    It’s probably not a bad idea for those of us who rely on other people and grocery stores to check our canned goods either. Hope that wasn’t too big of a mess to clean up!

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

John 3:16-17 NKJV
