Barbecued Green Beans with Ham

When I was growing up we had a really big garden.  My brother Pat totally took care of the garden, it was his baby.  Personally, I thought his constant expansion of the garden was ridiculous, the reason being, I had to help in canning and freezing his abundance of veggies.  We canned tomatoes, green beans, pickles, peppers; we froze the corn and hung the onions.  It took us weeks to get everything put up, but I will say it was worth it in the winter because I enjoyed eating these veggies.

For all the green bean lover’s here is a pin for your Pinterest board.

Here is another family favorite that I still make today. Bread and Butter Pickles are sweet and tangy with a little bit of a crunch.  Don’t let canning these pickles scare you away, the process is so simple you will be wondering why you never made your own pickles before.

Are there any veggie gardeners out there?  I would love to hear what you are growing.

Just a reminder to eat your veggies every day.

Sending blessings to all
