This episode is about meat grinding. It is nothing gross or graphic, we just go through the steps of grinding your own meat at home!

Joining me is my husband John David.

Making pinto beans is easy. It is more cost effective than store bought pintos and they are simple to make. I followed directions from the blog, A Year of Crockpotting, and they turned out great! Last night, we enjoyed a nice bowl of Vinegar and Pintos with corn muffins.

The beginning: beans, water, salt, pepper, and salt cured ham

After 8 hours of cooking on high

3 containers to go in the freezer, 1 small container to go in the fridge for Mexican Casserole, and 1 bowl for tonight’s supper.

If you’re trying to save money in the kitchen, try making pinto beans!
