- #everybitcountschallenge day #2 we are putting up some shishito pepper and basil pesto and a batch of beautiful pickled beets to add to my food storage that we eat on throughout the year! When feeding a family of 6, every bit really does count, and every jar I am able to put back means less money I have to spend at the grocery store.
I'm a SWMO gardener and small scale homesteader who focuses on gardening, preserving foods, small scale animal raising, and being the best wife and mother that I can be - all with God's continuous leading and guiding. I'm so glad to have you here!
I love the beets, all the beets every which way, Harvard’s, pickled, grated, borscht.
Im not a huge beet fan, but my mom makes this recipe and i really enjoy it!
2 small apples, finely chopped
1 beet, finely chopped
3 carrots, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
2 TBSP of honey
1 TBSP olive oil
Mix well and enjoy!
She has also added fresh blueberries or fresh cilantro its a fairly flexable recipe.
How sweet your daughters are to help. Learning a valuable trade. Blessings 😊
I love having them in the kitchen with me!
Wow moms keep going sick or not. 12:09 Bless your heart. I love watching you can❤
Your pesto and beets look amazing! Looking forward to tomorrow’s video. 😊

I love all your inspiration, thank you. I like putting shredded beets, and shredded carrots in my saurkraut
Hope you feel better soon! It’s so hard to keep going when you’re not feeling well. I can’t stand beets but those jars sure are pretty!
You truly are an incredible person, even though you are sick you keep going. Thanks for the video and God bless!!!😊
Great video. Thank you for sharing with us. Hope you feel better real soon.
Thank you so much!
Pray you start feeling better, it's tough when you're under the weather and still have all the things to do ~ 🙏✝️❤️
Hope you feel better soon! I think I'll try this recipe for pickled beets as I do like beets but no one else does so I'll just treat myself!
❤❤❤ I am so sorry you and your family are sick 😢. I am praying for you all.
Thankfully we are all better! 🥰
Hello, that was so informative! I didn't know you could freeze pesto. Now i know what to do with some of my basil. Fantastic! The beets however, are not a favourite of my families so won't be doing those. I do, however, sometimes buy beets and roast them just for myself or buy pickled beets. Thank you, hope you feel better have a lovely day.
I use to fix pickled beet ,I used too much sugar …lol
Hope you and your family feel better soon❤
I love pesto. Great job.
Feel better soon!
I love putting pickled beets, brine and all, with hard boiled eggs. It turns the eggs pink, and only gives them a slight pickled flavor.
I know there's recipes for making a chocolate cake with shredded beets, which adds moisture and sweetness to the cake. Google a recipe that looks best to you, try it out, and if your family enjoys it, freeze shredded, uncooked beets, in the amount needed for a cake. Add some extra for the frosting, to add sweetness and a natural pink color.
You could also dehydrate beet slices, then grind into a powder, for a natural food coloring of pink to red, depending on the amount used.
These are great ideas, thank you!
I have made it a goal of mine to start a garden next year and learn to can. I'm excited to watch your videos, Bri!
I'm so glad to hear that, you'll fall in love with it!
Great video, thanks. This recipe is similar to my goto recipe except I add a cinnamon stick to the brine and equal amounts of cubed pineapple as the beats. I'll thicken the brine with cornstarch if I serve it warm as a side dish.
