Hi Achternaam,

How is May treating you?

I'm starting to harvest things from my garden, which is exciting. Just a few days ago, for example, I picked a handful of baby spinach for my egg burrito brunch. I put it in my eggs with a little cheese on a tortilla. It's my favorite quick lunch. Mmmm.

In other news, I just finished creating this Simply Canning Quick Start Guide. I've been told that SimplyCanning.com is helpful, it's encouraging, it's just what you need...but oh my. There is so...much...information. This is meant to guide the complete beginner through the most important information on Simply Canning, guiding you to the correct pages and recipes you need.

Join the Canning Quick Start here.

This is a new release so you who are on my list get access first. Please...I'd love your feedback. Any broken links? Any information you found confusing? What was the most helpful information for you? Please do reply to any e-mails and let me know what you think!

P.S. Get the training, advice, kitchen tips, and support to plan and fill your pantry and table with home canned foods. Simply Canning School is the tool you need to get moving!

In case you missed it last week, the classes are now broken down into topics for those who don't need the entire program!

Maybe you are already canning but would love some instruction on Canning Meat. Or maybe you are a total newbie and just want the basics to get started. Or maybe you're somewhere in between. Well, everything is now all available as individual classes if you so choose. (You can still join the full membership too, if you'd like. It's completely your choice!)
