They are very costly when you purchase them new! I also buy my bags in a roll instead of separately. They are much more economical that way. Ginny posted a great place to buy them on her blog. I'll have to look it up.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-51499920789540974722012-10-08T03:45:28.233-04:002012-10-08T03:45:28.233-04:00I try to eat 'fresh' from the garden all y...I try to eat 'fresh' from the garden all year, partly because all methods of preserving have a cost and also I like to eat what's in season, I did make tomato sauce for the first ime this year and I hope the jars will last for many years; I ask people to return jars when I give them jams and preserves but they rarely do. I'd like to grow sweet potatoes next year, they're not something I can buy here in Italy.

I like it, though. And finding beans pickled just the way I like them would be much more expensive. I'm enjoying the reusable Tatler lids, but will have to purchase many more to use them exclusively. Your tweaked bean burgers sound good. I usually make basic oatmeal/walnut burgers: 1/2 onion, 2 c oats, 2 eggs, 1 c walnuts, some sage. Brown, then steam in the covered frypan with 2T water, et voila!Stefaneenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422241601075022500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-33743864818953819552012-10-05T18:14:28.885-04:002012-10-05T18:14:28.885-04:00Just an interesting bit of info, oat flour is glut...Just an interesting bit of info, oat flour is gluten free if it isn't grown near wheat fields. Apparently if the oat fields are grown near wheat fields, the wheat pollen gets blown by the wind onto the oat plants, contaminating them with wheat pollen, and gluten. It is possible to buy certified gluten free oats that are grown away from any contaminants.

A few years later I wished we had them back, as we ran out and I have to buy more.<br /><br />I made black bean burgers a while back from a C/L recipe that were nightshade free.

Our garden is our way around that kind of expense.<br /><br />I've not thought about canning sweet potatoes. We don't have enough to do it this year.

Jars are precious for preservers. As far as the vacuum bags go, I just invested in wide mouth jars and vacuum seal those - nothing to throw away because you can reuse the wide mouth lids.Wonderwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462916045964512828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-87085663441949907352012-10-04T19:22:42.964-04:002012-10-04T19:22:42.964-04:00Wow, I love how you modified the recipe.

Lots and lots of mushrooms of all different sorts. I do think shitakes in this would go wall for about a quarter of the mushrooms. But I wanted a recipe that used what I usually have on hand. And I don't usually have shitakes. Theirs is also vegan and gluten free (if you consider oat flour gluten free, some do some don't).
