Homemade McChicken

M cChicken sandwich, spicy or regular, has always been a household favorite until McDonalds started adding crap to the recipe. I used to work at McDonalds when I was 16 years old, things have def changed from then to now. Season it how you wish, I just throw a bunch of spices in and call it good! Does not matter what you use.  You Will Need: Ground Chicken Garlic Powder Onion Powder Paprika  Breadcrumbs  Flour Egg Wash Mayo Buns Lettuce Tomato After you form patties, freeze for 1 to 2 hours. Once frozen, dip in flour, egg then bread crumbs and deep fry until golden brown and 165 degrees temp reached inside. 

Canning Strawberries

When canning anything you need to make sure to follow the directions to a tee! You cannot defer from the safe recipe that is provided to you. I do not want to name names, but I have seen some canning YouTubers who are NOT following the safe directions given to them and go off on their own doing whatever they wish. You cannot, by any means, do that unless you speak to the company first and get the approval from them. Click here to find the safe recipe that I am following below. If you have no experience with canning, then I recommend starting with this strawberry recipe as it is super easy and does not require much skill. Sanitize your jar according to the link here! The link provided is to ball's website for beginners. And remember, when canning do it safely, according to the safe websites above and follow directions to a tee. You can use either 7 quart jars or 9 pint jars according to the national center for home food preservation.

These canned strawberries are my favorite for smoothies, over angel food cake, plain with whipped cream on top, Kristopher and Kailee take these to school in their planet-box lunch boxes, and at home. I cannot tell you how much Kristopher and Kailee love these. The other night when I canned these, I had some left over so I place it in the fridge to cool, and served it in a ramekin for their "dessert" kind of like a TV dinner! It was amazing, they loved it!! =]] Okay, now that you get where I am coming from on safety, let's get to canning the strawberries.

You Will Need:

8 lbs Organic Strawberries, washed and steams removed
2 Cups Organic Sugar {this is for the pounds amount above only!}
Mason Jars, Quart
Mason Jars, Pints
Pressure Canner
Canning Accessories
Paper Towel or Kitchen Towel
Ball Canning Book





Here is how I served them with Goulash and some good old organic mixed vegetables. See homemade TV dinner!! =]] LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!
