Welcome to the Finding Joy in Your Home Podcast. I am your host, Jamie Valmay, and this is the podcast where we blend deeply theological topics with thoroughly practical application, all for God's glory.

Hey, ladies, welcome back to the Finding Joy in Your Home podcast. This is season three episode number two. Today I've got a fantastic interview with Melissa K. Norris.

We're going to be talking about home preservation, food preservation. How can we work on preserving food?

But in a whole bunch of different ways, we're going to be talking about freezing and canning.

We're going to be talking about freeze drying because I had a particular question for her on

that. And we just have a really great chat about how we can fit this in to regular homemaking routines.

Melissa is going to share why she likes it. It's a really fun episode. So we'll get to that in just a

second. As a reminder, if you are brand new around here, then we are doing something a little bit different now with

season number three. If you're listening to this as the audio podcast, wonderful. You could just

continue to do that. But we have also relaunched this season three over on YouTube as well.

So we actually have this full podcast. Some of you are watching as I'm talking this already.

But if you're not, you can come

join us on YouTube. We're just going to have these episodes now on YouTube, which is fun because

you're going to get to see Melissa and I chatting together on on video. So if you're watching

that on YouTube. And you can come find me on YouTube. My name is just Jamie Balmay, J-A-M-I-B-A-L-M-A-T. Neither my first or my last name is easy to spell.

And then don't forget, we just launched last week my new baking school with Jamie, which is a new

weekly show over on YouTube, where every single week we're going to do 10 to 15 minutes of

teaching, where we get into some awesome new technique

for baking and then immediately following in that same episode, we're going to cook a recipe together.

You get the full, you get recipe downloads, you're going to get printable pages, you're going to get

everything to really help you learn how to cook because I'm a big believer in that learning

how to bake, learning how to cook
