Beans are done and the peanut better cup recipe

 Hi Everyone!

Well, I have way over done it today. At 6AM I started the beans. I did the quarts hot pack and pints cold pack. I got 7 of each. My caner only holds 7 quart jars and the pints are straight jars so 7 fit perfectly. Different times for quarts and pints. 

Then I decided to make some kidney friendly enchiladas. First the sauce.
I hydrated some black and red chilies.
 
Removed the seeds and chopped them up. 

Then put them in a blender I love this part. It smells so good.
I do the same with onions from my garden.
Into a pot and on the fire. I add a bit of water with some chicken and Mexican seasonings. Let it simmer. 
Home canned chicken breast is next. Add a bit of chili sauce and shred up all of the chicken. I do add more Mexican seasonings.
Grate some cheese, get some olives cut and cook the tortillas. Put it all together and you have this for dinner.
Now for all of you that have asked for the the peanut better square recipe it's this.
This is my original recipe. You can add a bit of vanilla, coconut or what ever you want.
You will need;
1C of butter melted, 2C graham cracker finely crushed. 2C powdered sugar, 1C peanut butter +4T peanut butter set aside. 
1 1/2C milk chocolate chips.
Combine first 4 ingredients. Spread in a 9x13" pan and set aside. In the microwave or on the stove, melt 4T of peanut butter and the chocolate chips until smooth. Spread on top of peanut butter in pan. Refrigerate for at least an hour more is better.  This sets the chocolate to the peanut butter. Now let it rest about 30 minutes before you cut into it. If you do it sooner the cold chocolate will crack. Now enjoy the goodness.
I'm off to eat some dinner.

Jealous of your canning abilities. Reminds me of time spent, on the farm. Think I’ll give the recipe a try. Look’s delish!

That dinner looks so good, but it is probably way too spicy for me--lol! The peanut butter squares look so tempting, too.
You really did a lot more canning! Every day is a triumph! :)

I have no idea when you have time to draw!

Both recipes look good. I would have to change a few things to make them work for my way of eating.
All of your canning looks good.

You were incredibly productive 14 jars in one day which is no small feat, especially juggling different methods and timings for quarts and pints
