“Eating Frozen Canned Foods. Good Idea or Not?”

“Eating Frozen Canned Foods. Good Idea or Not?”

It obviously wasn’t the goal, but power outages with the extreme cold weather we faced recently may have allowed canned or jarred food to freeze and become unsafe to consume. Let’s look at some tips to keep those foods safe to eat. If you have canned foods, either home canned or commercially canned, in a storage location that froze, first check for broken seals or seams in metal cans or broken glass in home canned foods due to the expansion of food and liquids inside those containers. 02/06/2024 11:00 PM

We often think it’s all or nothing when it comes to goal-setting. We think we have to do this or that and stay hyper-focused. Well that’s not always necessarily the best or most successful way to achieve what you’re looking for. 01/23/2024 11:00 PM
