Another winter storm blackout is headed to Texas and we are prepping what we can. Here are non-perishable food item ideas …
Me in Oregon had a wild wind and snow
Thanks to you for such an easy, quick, no knead bread recipe. I love you my dear. God bless you and your family. Take care. Stay safe.🙏🏼❤️
Loved this video, we live in Longview TX, we do have enough snow to keep us home off the road and you gave some GREAT suggestions, thank you.
We are thinking of moving to Houston! We are in Colorado. I am over this weather 😩
We want warmer weather!
We are checking out spring and Crosby and humble . What do you think?
The weather right now is -5😮🥶
Just want to encourage anyone using a propane based stove and/or heater, kerosene heater, or candles – edited to add – indoors to read up on carbon monoxide safety. Even some butane stoves are not rated for indoor use (I learned this after buying one thinking all butane was safe indoors.) Hopeful that everyone will come through this winter safely.
Im in Oklahoma its -1 here right now!!! It's terrible.
We live the Houston area too and survived the Winter Storm of 21. We didn’t have power for 3-4 days. Luckily we have a gas grill and gas stove that kept us fed. The pool also helped keep our toilets flushed. Good luck to your family this time around! Hugs,Kim🤗
Flower pot and tea candle s are a yes make sure you put on a cookie sheet so air can come from underneath. It works. And the crisco and a taper candle is excellent for light and small heat and eat only meat or can meat to keep your body full🙋♀️Texas
Keep eating those pozole bowels as Asians believe long noodles give you long life. Excellent presentation. My Mother used to saute chopped red onion, chilies, chopped tomatoes and maybe bacon or wieners then added the eggs and scrambled them Excellent!
No electricity + fireplace = food cooked over the fire! I'd love to see some of your ideas.
That last snow storm we had was crazy I am very well prepared this time. Thank you for sharing ❤
Dukes! I love you lol. Good luck with the storm
We’re in our RV outside San Antonio in hill country. We are also preparing and have made extra food, water jugs for toilet, have a propane furnace, gas stove, gas bbq, etc. If the power holds we should be okay!!
Keep in mind, in Texas around April time frame they do tax free on emergency items which I flies generators plus many other items!!
Thanks Angelica. Just love your videos and have made so many of your recipes including ones from your cook book. I live in Utah and where I live it isn't unusual to have -20°f in the winter. A solor generator that can generate enough power for a fridge is a great idea for those that are prone to power outages. Stay safe. Look forward to your next video!
Amazing videos been watching for years !! Your the only Channel I trust!!
Can you make a pork chile verda video please ❤ 🙏
I also live just outside the Houston area. We are ready for the ice blast this time around. Like you, I have lots of quick meals to fix (just in case we lose power). Hope you and yours are safe, warm and happy in the next 3 or 4 days during our Texas winter 🙂
Bless u pu and yours in this cold weather snap.
We also bought a solar powered generator too – also living in Texas. Our main reason was to use it for the refrigerator because yes we also had no power for like about 4 days during that 2021 freeze. We bought a stove top coffee percolator a few months ago JUST in case. Thankfully, we have a gas stover and gas water heater for meals and showers!
Oh this recipe idea for breakfast tacos looks Amazing!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
I'm in the houston area too, and I have no real way to heat our house currently so I am concerned. I have 3 kids at home still, a dog and 5 birds (which I really worry about!!). A couple of weeks ago I was considering getting one of those generators/power banks… I wondered why. I guess my intuition was telling me to. I didn't listen. I'm kicking myself now. We are tough though and I'm sure we will all figure it out. Hugs and stay safe everyone!!
Thinking of you and your family. I made breakfast tacos in solidarity. My dad worked in public power in Dallas when I was a teenager. He'd be so ashamed of how Texas' grid is failing the people. Stay warm, dry, and safe and remember that there's safety in solidarity with your neighbors.
Top dish at home.we fry the meat first then break the egg over and mix together😋
I keep lamp oil and lamps with extra wicks to hand along with glass cleaner so that we can have light after dark. Along with that, I have puzzle books, cards, and actual books so that we can pass the time as well. I have a gas stove and oven, but the pilot on the oven doesn't work when the power goes out, so I have made sure to have things to make cooking on the stove more like using the oven, as well as campfire items so that we can cook with wood if it becomes necessary. I lived through Katrina and it took about 3-4 days for civilization to catch up to us, so I plan to be without outside help for a week, in terms of how much and how long. Also consider, fill your extra water bottles ahead of loss of power and we fill tubs, too. I have a way to purify water but it's better and easier to have the water on hand if possible. Even if one can't bathe, a cat bath and brushing your teeth go a long way for your comfort!
Right here with you in East Houston. We're hunkering down and getting ready.
The channel Homestead Corner recently posted a very helpful video about using tealight candles for cooking!! This can be a more affordable option or if you have a bunch on hand… I will be thinking of you all and anyone in the freezing storms.
Your voice is so calming, your tips are great. I’ve never seen anyone use butter instead of lard for tortillas, but I’m trying this now. Thank you!💕
Hiii, I made some sausages too, this week! With veg medley of onion, sweet peppers & zucchini. With a pot of Vigo rice. Yum!
Thank you, Great Reminders!!!,❤
yes mam it's going to get cold here in corpus ..praying no black outs
Hey I don't know if you're from Colorado have you ever been to Pueblo Colorado I'm Mexican Latino Italian I live in Pueblo if you get some time you should go up to Manitou springs in Colorado springs the pikes peak is beautiful so is Manatee springs in Colorado this summer if you get a chance you'd love it but two or three days ago and have a great❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂
I put towels under the doors and windows also I covered all the windows with tick blankets it helped to keep the cold out and also we set camp all together to stay warmer with our body heat, also candles help to keep warm
Put blankets up over windows, doorways you're not using, etc.
Stay safe.
A high of 0 tomorrow! At least 3 or 4 nights below 0 coming up. I live in north central ks.
I live a couple hours north of Houston. I was so thankful I have a fireplace because of that 2021 storm. No power for 8 days was a pain. But we stayed warm and fed. We kept our phones charged with a device that hooks up to a drill battery to charge/run things. Also, they make rechargeable light bulbs that work great too.
Hello. Love watching you. I'm from the Panhandle and we get alot of ice storms and loose power at times. If you have an outdoor grill, sometimes you can cook on that. We have gas as well and have been fortunate with that. However when our power goes out, our water well goes out so no water. When we have sub zero weather we run a bathtub full of water for cooking or for flushing toilet. And we will let our faucet trickle to keep it from freezing. Hope you stay safe!
I definitely sympathize 🥲 it’s -19 windchill right now in South Dakota and we’ve got a blizzard warning for the next few days. Stay safe! 🩷
That last freeze I got kind of lucky, my aunts house didn't lose power so I just went over there, if we have another black out like last time I might just have to stick it out cause that house is gone
