Pickled Okra & Pickled Asparagus on sale this weekend! Get $2 off per jar when you use code CHET2 at checkout.

Our pickled Okra is such a great snack. We love it so many of you agree! Chet also approves of them! Little boys sometimes beg for a bedtime snack, and these make such a healthy quick snack for those late evening cravings! Do you have some in your fridge to grab a nighttime snack? Speaking of growing boys, Chet is in another growth spurt and growing into the preschool stage! He can take care of animal chores by himself and is learning to help around the house as well. Although his favorite place is still down at the creek fishing! That boy would fish every day of his life if we let him! Do you remember when your children were in that stage? Having older children, I know how fast this stage passes, and I try to enjoy every day, even when he has those days where it seems like he makes more messes than I can clean up! I am reminded that I am raising the next generation of leaders. It helps keep me focused on what matters. Sometime what we think is important and what's acctually important are different! To growing boys... Trish and Crew.

Our Butters are on Sale! All this weekend get $2 off per jar of Dutch Apple Butter or Pumkin Butter when you use code BUTTERS at checkout.

Our Dutch Apple Butter and Pumpkin Butter will put you in the mood for fall! They make great toast spread for your breakfast. Fall is in the air! The heat finally broke here in Texas. We are getting fall rains, and the cold fronts have come. It's such a welcome break from the long stretch of hot, dry days! We are enjoying the cool weather and the rain! I love watching my children play in the rain! It makes me want to go dance in the rain as well. I am reminded of the verse in Genesis that says, "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease" In some of the long days of summer it seems it will never change. But God promises us that the cycle of life will continue! Seasons of life are the same, regardless of what season you are in, the next season will come in due time. Trust God's plan and try to find fulfillment in the season you find yourself. To the start of Fall... Trish and Crew.

This weekend, Sale on our Old-Fashioned Dill Pickles. Get $2 off per jar with code PICKLES2

Our Old-Fashioned Dill pickles have a lovely crunch to them. Some customers tell us their favorite part is the pickled Garlics and Onion that come in the jar as well. While others enjoy the pickle juice the most. What part of the flavor packed jar do you enjoy? The other day we went to Ernie's brother's house. My nephew brought the new baby from their long horn cow up into the yard for the children to meet. Chet loved the little calf; he got to hug the calf and pet the calf. It was such a cute little calf and so patient with the children. Chet loves any animal; he jumps at the chance to go with his big brothers when they go to pasture to take care of the cows and sheep. He also is a big help to me in taking care of the chickens and gathering eggs. He has little fear and is gentle. It's fun to watch the animals recognize that and stay calm around him. Even though we can't talk to or understand what the animals say, there is some level of communication going on there. Proverbs tells us that whoever is righteous regards the life of his animals. I enjoy teaching my children how to care for farm animals. Do you grow up with farm animals? To caring for the creatures God gave us... Trish and Crew

This week Salsa is on sale! Use code SALSA to get $2 off per jar of Hot or Medium Salsa.

Here is your chance to stock up on our chunky and lightly sweetened salsas. I am a huge chips and salsa fan, and if you are too, this sale is for you!
It's so much fun to enjoy nature with your children. Ellie and I were out taking a walk, we paused to take in the setting sun, and she wanted a "hold the Sun" picture. I am in awe of God's beautiful paint jobs! He seems to love to paint the evening sky. I am so blessed to have such a beautiful view of the sunsets every day. It both moves me to worship and to ponder God's faithfulness. There is always a beginning and always an end to every day. Don't forget when times are uncertain or life is lonely, there is a God who cares. If He cares enough to paint the sky, He cares for you!
To our Caring God... Trish and Crew.

The perfect mug for early morning coffee!
The perfect mug for early morning coffee!
Shop Coffee Mug

This weekend until Tuesday night all merch is 50% off! While supplies last. Use code MERCH50

I love my early mornings on my porch with my coffee cup! There is something about taking a few quiet moments to get my mind right and spend some time with God, that just makes the rest of my day go better! My daughter loves to make fancy coffee blends with toppings etc. But for me just a little cream in a dark roast is perfect!!
And a Rachel’s Texas Kitchen mug makes it better!
How do you like your coffee?

P.S. We also have little spatulas perfect for getting the last corner of goodness out of our jars. Or an apron to add to your collection.

This Weekend our Raw Texas Honey is on sale. Get $1 off per jar with code HONEY1 at checkout.

Get some real honey while it's on sale! On Labor Day, my siblings and I, along with my dad, got invited to play in a softball tournament. My brother got jerseys made and we had a grand time! My family has always been very active, and we especially enjoy playing softball. Time moves on and we can't play like we used to; we are not as young and nimble as we once were. But we had a grand time! We did not win any of the games, but we thoroughly enjoyed the chance to play together as a family team and the chance to get out and play softball again. My mom brought snacks and my children and nieces and nephews were cheering us on! It was such a good bonding experience as a family. After playing all day in the heat, I sure was tired and sore, but very happy, and rejuvenated!
What do you enjoy doing with your family? To Labor Day Shenanigans... Trish and Crew

This week Peach Jam is on sale! Use code PEACHJAM to get $2 off per jar of Peach Jam & Sugar Free Peach Jam.

If you can't tell I love taking pictures of God's creation. This was such a beautiful view of the moon framed by the trees in the yard. I just paused and soaked it in for min! We know you all are patiently waiting for us to figure out our canned peach challenges. Thank you for your patience. We think we are closer to a solution. I ran some trial batches the other day, now just waiting on some answers from the grower. Hopefully it won't be too much longer! In the meantime we are running a sale on our peach jam including the sugar free peach jam! To Peaches... Trish and Crew.

Pickled Okra on sale this weekend! Get $2 off per jar when you use code OKRA at checkout.

Our pickled Okra is such a great snack. We love it that so many of you agree! The popular pickled Okra is back on sale! Emma is in the copy cat stag of life! And it's so fun. The other day I was working and she was standing on a chair watching me. She looked over and said MOM! I want to tell you a secret, in her toddler jargon. So I leaned over and she wispered sweet nothings into my ear for a while. It was so cute and such a fun break from my work! She wants to do what she she sees others doing. This reminds me of us adults. Who are we imitating? Are we living in a such a way that, when others imitate us, it's a good thing? Stop and think about your life, would you want someone to imitate the way you live? It was a sober thought for me! To the little reminders... Trish and Crew.

Have you tried this flavor?
Have you tried this flavor?

Not all our jams are traditional flavors

While we have the tried-and-true staples, like Raspberry jam, or Strawberry Jam. We have some unique flavors as well. My husband really likes the Prickly Pear Cactus jam! It's a southwest spread, smooth, almost watermelon flavor. Don't let the name fool you, it's very good, and not an acquired taste. Since we use whole fruit and blend them up, seeds can be an issue for some people. Prickly Pear Cactus Jam doesn't have that issue; it's a seedless jam. I on the other hand really like the Blueberry Pomegranate. It has the distinct plump smooth sweetness of blueberries that's balanced with the tartness of pomegranate juice. The flavors blend well and create a taste that's all its own. Have you tried either of these? They are both on sale this week, and if you use code UNIQUE2 and add either of these to your cart you will get $2 off per jar of either of these two jams. What other unique or hard to find flavors do you wish we would make? Trish and Crew...

Free Shipping on any order over $50 until Tuesday evening. Click on the button above and use code Ship50 to get free shipping.

Use free shipping to stock up on your favorite Rachel's Texas Kitchen favorites. Here is your chance to save some money! A lot of my children have large imaginations and It's such a treat to watch them play. They have elaborate scenarios going on in their imaginary world. They can entertain themselves for hours. They set up their toys or build couch cushion forts, and by the end of the day the house can really be a mess! But I am happy to clean up, knowing this stage won't last forever. It's HOT in Texas these days so they would rather play indoors these days. I imagine once fall comes, they will be playing outside again. To free shipping... Trish and Crew.
