Bye Bye Cans

About a year ago or so, I started to seriously reduce my reliance on canned goods. In fact, and shhhhh, don't tell anyone, I stopped canning food myself. Apparently, canned goods from the store could have all kinds of chemicals in the plastic lining and cooking foods for long periods of time (especially when under pressure) can breakdown many of the good nutrients in foods. Hence is born, my ever increasing reliance on local SEASONAL food. Eating seasonally reduces the need to preserve food for future use. When I do preserve, right now, I prefer to freeze or dry. Now, my pantry is used for more imaginative pursuits....like being in an elevator.
