    Yum. I was just craving peas of all things and wondering what to have them with. Boom. And I love zucchini. I was thinking of having zucchini instead of broccoli with the smoked sausage and that last recipe of course.

    My family are cheese fiends, so I doubled the cornbread taco bake, and layered 2 cups of shredded Mexican blend cheese between the meat mixture and the cornbread.

    Have you ever tried making your own broth? I save vegetable scraps –the rest of the parsley or celery or green onions I couldn't use up, squash peels, etcetera in a plastic bag in the freezer. I also save all the bones of every meat or chicken my family eats right off their plates in another bag in the freezer.
    When I've got a bag of each, I throw them in my crockpot and simmer for a day. You could probably use an instant pot: I don't have one.
    When they are done, I cool it and strain it into quart jars.
    Free broth–except for the cost of electricity. Very little work.
    But I also have a package of the cubes on hand.

    Hi Julia!! Great video! I thought it was funny when you said Will could eat the whole pan of the cornbread because my Bill could too! My sister will love that bow tie pasta and pea recipe- I will have to write that down for her! Hope you are all well, Heather 🌸

    These are great recipes! My daughter and her friend are newlyweds and so these will be great ideas for these young couples.

    I do like to have bouillon cubes in my pantry just in case, but making your own bone broth and freezing it is free and extremely flavorful. Save up all bones from meats used and freeze them until ready to use. You can also save whatever you cut or peal from veggies such as celery (keep the leaves!), onions, garlic, and carrots. Put the bones & veggie trimmings or chopped veggies into the Instantpot or Crock pot, fill with water, add 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar to extract nutrients from the bones, and let it slow cook for 18 hours. After it’s cooled to room temp, freeze the broth in quart sized freezer bags, with date & type of broth written on the bag. You will never want to buy broth in the store after you make your own! I even make some exclusively for the dogs without any onion or garlic or seasonings. (It’s nutritious and prevents small-dog picky syndrome! – my own diagnosis!)

    I love your videos. Many Blessings to you! 🙏🏻💗👼🏻✝️🐾
