I’m definitely not a prepper, but there are certain things that I always keep stocked in my pantry. The following list is food items that I’ll never be without because …
We make our own onion powder every year. We normally make enough to fill a half gallon jar. About a month after we made this year's, my oldest was getting me the jar and he broke it. I cried for about an hour.
We live in lower Alabama. So we have to keep an eye out for hurricane /tornado issues. When hurricane Michael hit Florida our nearest town had alot of evacuees hit. Supplies flew off shelves.
We tend to keep supplies stocked for emergencies anyway, so we didn't have issues like others did when it came to sourcing stuff for meals, etc.
Where do you buy real salt in the big buckets? Thanks!
You're, like, the Martha Stewart that Martha Stewart wishes she could be!
Yeah 23 tornadoes in 7 states
Hmm peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Homemade is best, it's cheaper n your tastes buds different.
All great advice, bone broth is my staple in winter for soups and stews. All great advice thanks and I a, rather pleased that I mostly cook from scratch. I have not bought a packet with any mix for years. I have a super spice shop accross the road from me so can buy there in bulk and then make my own mixes, like the Maroccan Ras el Hanout mix which consists of about 12-18 different spices but is an amazing blend
GM☕️☕️. Sounds like how I was raised & how my boys were raised. We always lived around 30-40 mins from town so it was a waste of time & money to run to the store for one item. I grew up in a “ prepared “ small farm but never considered how convenient my mom had things in the pantry lol. Now the term used is prepping haha. I love shopping in my own store … so convenient!! Using what you have and planning ahead saves time, energy & expense.
Great video 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Amazing information..
I grew up on traditional cooking. Didn't get my first fastfood until I around 8 years old (after we moved to the mainland..Seattle).
I've always been interested in making things from scratch…I find it relaxing and rewarding. Just haven't done it in a long while, but really want to get back into it.
Girl I admire u…im no where on ur level, 4 yr old boy and a very picky eater, his father…lol I can do rues…umm make my own sauces, gravy but taking a full chicken is where I freak out…lol
Can you do a video on all of your favorite cook books for scratch cooking? Trying to buy more for a maybe grid down situation. 🙃
Hi Melissa🥰 I purchased your academy a few months ago, and seem unable to log in and open the academy index to finish my course. I am going to be slow finishing the course and hope to use it as reference often. It is a lifetime membership right? I tried to email, but I don't think I'm able to reply to the subscription emails. 🥰
Thanks Melissa! Informative, educational, and appropriate for the times. All presented in a way that keeps your attention. You’re a natural!
Great info! Thanks!
This is a great concept! Economical and healthy.
Do you ever freeze dry your left overs?
Love your vids!
How do I order one of your husbands dough knife/scraper
Blessings to all!
Yes! I do the exactly the same thing; saves soooo much time & money. Unfortunately, I just found out that Bragg's nutritional yeast is fortified with the artificial form of B vitamins. 🙁 Not good for anyone, but particularly not good for those with MTHFR gene mutations (and LOTS of people have this without knowing it). The answer is non-fortified yeast; Azure has Starwest Botanicals, but it's more expensive. Amazon has at least one organic, non-fortified nutritional yeast. I've always considered Bragg's to be kind of the pinnacle of healthy products, but not in this case. 🙁 Fortunately I didn't buy it in bulk, and I will use the one jar of Bragg's that I have for our dog & cat so as not to waste it.
Oh my gosh!!# I'm going to start buying your cook books! Yummmm
My Mom was a fantastic cook who cooked EVERYTHING from scratch. I'm so thankful for her teaching me those basic skills, which I am using to feed my family. Learning to stretch ingredients by using different or less expensive ingredients has been a game changer for me as my 5 kids have grown and I am now feeding 4 teenagers ( plus a husband who still eats like a teenager 😉)
I keep a lot of ingredients on hand it so nice to know. Don’t have to run to town all the time GODBLESS sweetie
Thanks Melissa. I’m with you on not spicy and I have made chili where no amount of sour cream was going to help. Nice to know I’m not alone. Lol. Blessings
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, 2 continue, there is almost No Flavor JUST HEAT & SPICE. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
OLD LEATHER SMITH here. I make my own hot PEPPER, I usually plant them next 2 each other so I get hotter PEPPERS. This is my 3rd grind. With my Lord's help I grow, Sun dry, and finally grind, takes 1 year. This grind has Ghost, Biquinho, 160 degree Cayenne, Caribbean Red Habenaro,
and Jalapeno
Thanks for all the great ideas. Another video full of lessons. TFS 👍🎅🎄
Great video! I've always wanted to try a curry and the one you described sounds amazing! Do you have a recipe or link for that? Thanks!
Not food related
But I never had bought sweaters or socks always handmade.
Also we had radiators
Didn't even know about forced air heat. LOL
Try the fudge dipped Oreos, you’ll love them!
I buy the coarse Redmond Real Salt and put it into a pepper mill.
I'm with you on the Oreos – they get a pass every time.
Thanks for the coconut milk alternative! love my curry but allergic to coconut milk and lately not worth the suffering. YEAH–can't wait to try your idea!
Mmmm, I need to try that ranch popcorn!! Great video, thank you! I love learning from you!!
We should check what ingredients in any cookies and confectionery. I've heard harmful ingredients in some products. We need to boycott
We grew up on a mixed farm only 4 miles from town. Mom cooked from scratch all the time. I had graduated high school before I ever learned how to make Mac & cheese from a box!😆
