    This was awesome and I am encouraged to try this with my husband. It is easy to let things sit in a freezer or pantry and it is so important to rotate. Looks like you had fun! Thanks for sharing with us! Happy Belated Birthday Tad!

    My husband likes soup but not as much as I do….so I take left over meats and put into freezer vac seal bags when I need it I fill a wrap or toasted day old homemade bread with the meat, cheese, and other toppings, grill in a iron skillet with a press and then he has a soup dunker which he loves. Makes him a heartier meal.

    Pam says- steak doesn't actually have to thaw before you put it in the oven as long as you like a rare to medium steak. I've only done this on store steak less than an inch thick. 450 F oven for 10 minutes on first side, 5 minutes second side then start checking for how you like it. A meat thermometer is useful. Or else take it out when a fork doesn't draw blood. Don't forget to let it rest before eating. I also use butter 2-3 tbsp on top of frozen steak with my dry seasonings. Edit: I am at sea level. Adjust accordingly for altitude.

    I also use shelf stable milk in the cartons. I use them for cooking and hot or cold cereal. Loved all the different foods, they looked yummy. Those pizza's though, yum! Glad you had a wonderful birthday Todd. Congratulations! So excited to hear about Abigail's engagement, how exciting and so happy for her, loved her reaction! So I gather this is the wedding you were talking about upcoming at the 1870's Homestead, eh? So happy for you guys too!

    I used to keep dry powdered milk for emergencies when my children were small. I would mix it with water and a teaspoon of room temp butter in my blender and put it in the fridge. The kids thought it was "real" milk with the added bit of butter fat added back.

    Happy Belated Birthday! It is interesting seeing the creative meals you make from your pantry. I've got to go through your older videos and look for more lamb recipes because last fall I got some beautiful local lamb and need more ideas for it beyond gyros. Hubby wouldn't eat Shepherd's pie unfortunately but yours looked good.

    Hello! I was wondering if you could tell me where you found that jar lid lifter tool you used in this video, Todd? I try to save my lids for my dehydrated jars to save some money, but my bottle opener seems to destroy them every time..thanks in advance! 🌻☺️
