Strawberry Lemonade

I know I canned some strawberry lemonade concentrate and that is amazing no doubt esp since it has sat and all the flavors have blended nicely together.. but I wanted to make something fresh for by the pool.  You Will Need: 3 Cups Lemon Juice, fresh 1 Container Berries, cut Puree: 2 Cups Berries 2 tbsp Sugar 1/2 Cup Water  -Blend together until smooth Simple Syrup: 2 Cups Water 2 Cups Sugar   -Bring to a boil until sugar is dissolved 4 Cups Cold Water

Instant Pot Ham & Bean Soup

I use bone broth in this recipe ALL the time, but I was out of my stock when I made this. :( Bone broth gives you an added health benefits and if you are ill bone broth is VERY good for you to help you start to feel better. I cooked this for 40 minutes on high pressure but it needed longer. I like to do 40 minutes open it and check it because it won't take as long to come up to pressure since its still very hot. Here in Ohio, it has been SOOOO cold and windy that soup is really all we want (the kids even want it and they are not big soup fans). This soup, however, is everyones favorite. We love this soup so much, that I canned it and is downstairs in our canned foods storage (all canned from myself and my husband together- here is a photo of it below). Anyhow, if you love soup, give this a try it is super easy and sooo yummy! But def start it a few hours before dinner so we can double check it is done and give it another 20-30 minutes if needed once 40 minutes is up.

You Will Need:
16 oz Dried Navy Beans
1 pk Diced Ham
2 tsp All Spice
2 Bay Leaves
1 Ham Hock
3 Carrots, diced
2 Celery Stocks, diced 
1/2 Onion, diced
4 Cups Chicken Bone Broth
