DH has congestive heart failure. So I don’t buy canned prepared foods. I do however make and can my own soups (no salt). Tomato soup, veg. beef soup, chicken soup, beef stew, pulled pork and also can my green beans, squash, tomatoes, I also make succotash which is tomatoes, corn and butter beans. Also can my own baked beans. I make spaghetti sauce and can it also. I also can potatoes, and carrots. So some of the things I have canned are to make meals with as well as to have a fast meal. DH cannot have salt do to the swelling from his heart problems. I have over 100 no. 10 cans of freeze dried foods and also the 72 hour pails but some of them have way to much salt. So keeping them for the really hard times for other family members. I also can a lot of my chicken and beef as well as tuna and salmon. I have a great deal of no salt store bought foods as well. I need to start looking into making the meals in a jar. I bought the book on doing it but haven’t had the time to sit down to see what I need and what I have already to do it.
