415 - Chicken Loaf in Fowlers Jars!, my fave way to cook Chicken Legs + more - Off Grid Australia

Hey Everyone!
A full day and a bit in the kitchen!
Using the leftover pork mince, making egg and ham cups, trialling the chicken loaf in jars as well as the steamer! My fave way of making chicken legs plus more!
Choc drinking powder
2 parts sweetener (You can of course reduce this, especially if making this on milk instead of water!)
1 part cocoa
1.5 parts milk powder (we use Coconut milk powder)
Salt
potato starch
Sample Size - fits in a Thermomix, is the max!
400g Sugar, ground to icing sugar
200g cocoa/cacao
300g milk powder
10-20g salt
80g potato starch
We use 2 x dessert spoons per serve, on just straight boiling water, so if serving on milk etc, you will have to adapt :D

The Inkbird Thermometer I use, they do have cheaper models but this one is USB-C chargeable rather than batteries and tolerates getting splashed etc, I've tried a few models and this is my fave.
Flour Sack Tea Towels mentioned - This is the set I purchased initially but someone sent me the blue ones as well, and they're great too!

You're farrr from lazy Nyssa ❤❤. Everything is amazing and is a lot of work and what with homeschooling etc you really are amazing xx

[@holleym2927]

This is MY lazy Sunday - Read, craft, eat, craft, read, eat! Your Sunday compared to my Sunday would be like me running a marathon!!!! LOL You're amazing!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Hehe, I'm not very good at being idle, I always feel guilty about all the stuff that is still waiting for me to get done!

[@cheriena6815]

omg if you think that's a lazy Sunday, then i am a sloth, lol. you are awesome Nyssa😀

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Lol, I'm not very good at being lazy, Darryl always has a go at me about it heh.

[@karentester931]

You’re far from lazy, in any sense of the word. Such a hard working Mumma/wife! Love watching your vlogs while I’m working away in the kitchen 😊

[@marierobinson3935]

Your canned chicken looked really good, yummy❤ I could binge watch your videos tou make me feel tired and hungry just watching you😂😂 have a great week❤❤

[@OurSmallFootprint]

It tastes really good! I’m glad it worked in the jars!

[@cherylpritchard1873]

Hi Nyssa you work so hard for your family it's such a pleasure to watch you take care 🥰🌹

[@iwonka]

A lazy day for me? Wake up, play game while in bed, eat something, sit on the couch and doom scroll Instagram, lay down in bed and listen to music, eat something, sit in the chair on the porch and watch the world pass by.. I mean your lazy day is a full on busy day in comparison. :) Love your videos.

[@AussieTracy]

I love "White Broccoli" with regular Broccoli in a white sauce. Never heard it called Ghost Broccoli before 😂

[@nanettesilas6062]

I’m still never bored watching you cook , it is very satisfying

[@heatherbolichowski1910]

My idea of a lazy Sunday is just puttering around. Today I'm reading, listening to videos, online research, baking bread to turn into crumbs, doing laundry and dishes. I also feel guilty when I do less and then I feel angry for feeling guilty! My son took fashion class in high school a couple of years ago and sewed himself a stuffie - he was a blue and white Yeti and super cute! We are still in the throes of summer in Alberta but the latest heat wave has passed at least. Fresh fruit is abundant so trying to preserve some when possible. And I baked 16 bagels earlier this week to freeze but they are already all gone. LOL

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I forever bake large batches of things with the intent to freeze and have none left to freeze when I go to do it lol, I would need to freeze straight away I think! :D

[@barbpetermcgovern3613]

Please more Guinea fowl, we used to have them when we had our farm and I do miss their calls ❤❤❤ just a short even 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@jeanz3622]

I love all the animals in the background. ❤

[@elizaC3024]

Another absolutely wonderful video again. I love your creativity with your meal planning 😋 😍. Keep it coming!

[@mylife-321-0]

Yay! garden prep time! I feel like garden season is year round here in the US with yours starting up as our season ends. I sure hope you have a great season. Ours was 50/50 this year because of bugs. We don’t put anything on our plants so we grow extra but they were greedy this year lol! Great video! Food looked very yummy! TFS!!❤

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Fx for a modicum of success this year! I have Darryl working on making me some frames for coverage for the beds, we bought a small welder to try! A new skill!

[@julieneilson7302]

Another great video, I appreciate your honesty about the whys and how’s of your clips, Re the car, think of the “Prayer of Serenity “:

[@sharonburling2262]

Are you in the RACQ? Im amazed at the quantities you cook! You must have strong arm muscles stirring that pasta! I think of you on wet rainy days! How you cope with trying to dry clothes, the endless folding up and all the dirty dishes! You do an amazing job! You deserve a easy day sometimes!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

My insurance has an RACQ equivalent roadside assist service, so I don't pay for RACQ on top of that, but I have access to it if needed! We actually have temporary lines up in the house today with the fire going lol... Dishes are always a bane, no matter how much we do them I always seem to have to wash something when I go to cook heh.

[@bunnobear]

Love your videos, they always inspire me to try new things

[@margaretfiggs2606]

Your doing a great job. Cooking and your meals are fantastic. Lazy day is something you really are doing is so busy. Take some time to yourself. Love your sharing of the prep work. Keep smiling

[@vickiallum2190]

I am tired just watching how much you accomplished on your lazy day.I hope the truck is fixed soon.

[@Tessie2601]

Beautiful day today, 4 degrees warmer, so I am happy. I make quiches with puff pastry, diced bacon and heaps parsley. Freeze them. Never had a complaint. Have a great week.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Puff pastry makes everything better! lol.

[@pucktweety]

I always eat dinner when I watch your videos and it gives me so much joy but this one... this one near killed me. Actually nearly choked to death at the 'ghost broccoli' SO Funny!!!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Heh, another one of those things I thought lots of people used but apparently not! :)

[@user-qd2wd7ns9uAnnie]

Nyssa, a lazy Sunday , you work so hard even on your lazy day !!!! A woman on many talents... another lovely video and watching always make me super hungry...Have Happy Day, Nyssa.. 😊

[@ThatsTravelUSA]

Yummmmm!! 😊

[@amyobrien5087]

Ghost broccoli is the perfect name for cauliflower 😂 its all about the branding with some things

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Hehe, I think it's such a cute name, maybe I need to do some food related art/stickers! hehe :D

[@sarahdunningham8661]

Love those ham egg muffin cups, I do something similar with bacon instead and prep for work lunches , I cut up some tomato and pop on top which is nice x

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Next time I cure my own bacon I think I'll try cutting it nice and thin and using it for them!

[@LSimpson-t7x]

Hi Nyssa from Adelaide! As always your videos are awesome I watch them all, but today I particularly loved the snipet of homeschool life at the beginning. We’re always looking for fresh ideas on that front too and had never heard of Domestika, it looks great so thank you 😊

[@OurSmallFootprint]

We are so lucky that there are so many options to diversify their learning online these days. So many options to choose from at lots of different price points!

[@hollygirl1955]

Hi from Shailer Park,Brisbane. It just amazes me how much you pack into your day. I’d hate to see a busy one😂. Hope the car sorts itself out soon.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

heh, I'm not very good at being idle... its a bit of a flaw sometimes! :D

[@PinkPink-kn5gy]

I am near you at Tanah Merah.

[@pattaylor8955]

Hi Nyssa. Truly hope you get the car sorted out and it doesn’t cost you a ton of money. You need to be safe when you do your travel for your food. A lazy Sunday. Hmmmmm that would be me reading a book. However like you if I see or know things need to be done I can’t just sit there and read. I love watching you cook and create good food. It’s like you don’t even think about it you just add this and that and make a delicious meal. Always looking for one of your videos Enjoy your week Pat

[@amyy4258]

Morning nyssa we love what you do and showing us life off grid with kids ,we live in caboolture so not as cold but totally understand what your saying re seedlings ...I know what you mean with lazy days your probably like me and if you don't see progress or change of anything you feel lazy the joys of being a mum with chronic illness .I love watching the meals you make it gives me ideas and some I tweak as I have fussy kids

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I definitely feel the guilt if I'm sitting around being idle when I know so much needs to be done, or there's so much i WANT to get done, which is almost the same thing!

[@carolynrose9522]

Thanks Nyssa. Doing a bit more in the garden while the sun is out. Still experiencing a lot of frost down here. Making a new supply of dog biscuits today and pondering what tea will be tonight.

[@saravillareal6012]

Hello from Las Cruces New Mexico USA you always make the yummiest looking food 💕

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Thank you Sara :D

[@rowenaconnolly9389]

Gee I didn't know ou could make your own miso. I'd be interested to learn how to do that. Thanks again for our video. 😊

[@sherriekemper1828]

Yeah, sounds just like my lazy Sunday---HA!

[@CarlyM1979]

Nyssa can I please ask for the dairy free cheese sauce recipe😊. I looked on your website and saw some great recipes but couldn't find it. I love watching your videos, you inspire me to cook different meals for my fussy family of 6, well 5...I'm not the fussy one 😂

[@marygarcia5449]

❤❤❤❤

[@marieparks5674]

Glad you got a little rest. Your lazy day seemed pretty busy to me.

Hahahaha, ghost broccoli, love that.

Hehe, its cute isn't it :D

[@luvspugs9763]

Hey From Maryland USA from Neicea

[@karenlauder9768]

Hey Nyssa🥰 Your lazy is my is my steady productive!!!! This new oven has been a great investment!!! Are you still using the bbq at all? My chooks are still off the lay, looking forward to eggs soon & going to make the ham & egg cups. Ghost broccoli 🥦 👻 😂🤣😂 Wow great idea using the Fowlers for the chicken loaf!!!! Thank you for another wonderful video! Have a great week 🥰

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Mostly only for the pizza oven atm! I'm not sure how we're going to rearrange when we get the roof up as to whether it will still need a primary spot, ideally I'd love something I could put two pizza ovens on, but buying a larger bbq for just that purpose, seems wasteful, but having it there as backup is a big thing, like if something ever happened to the oven! I'm still contemplating lol.

[@annamaria8755]

I wouldn't call that lazy. I call that busy! 😀

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Hehe, I'm not very good at being lazy, Darryl always gets annoyed, because I suggest a lazy day and then still get stuff done and he feels guilty because I'm still doing stuff hehe. :D

[@traceyTibbles07]

Recipe for cauliflower white sauce please ❤

[@mplummer1574]

My lazy days are much lazier than yours 😂😂

[@sara-5124]

Hi Nyssa, could you tell me what wattage you meat mincer is please, also the make. Thank you 😊 x

[@OurSmallFootprint]

It is the Luvele Eclipse (affiliate link in the description if you decide to check it out :)) It is rated at 1200w, so I fully expected to have to run it off something other than the main solar, but I put a meter on it when I first got it to check how much power it was drawing and it ran really low, I was pleasantly surprised, 350-500w was the average draw while using it to mince in a standard kind of a way!

[@sara-5124]

Thank you Nyssa. I will show my son this. If he were to order one in the UK, will you still get a commission on it ? Is there anything he needs to do in order for you to get it ?

[@OurSmallFootprint]

@@sara-5124 This is the UK link :) www.luvele.co.uk/?ref=esMNELnmGRAH8L I'm lucky, when I signed up as an affiliate with them, they automatically signed me up to all their regions! I just have to give the relevant code, thank you for using it if you go ahead! :D I do love it, I looked at a lot of them, trying to figure out which one to buy, and am really really happy with the decision I made.

[@jeri-annviscusi-y5c]

Just curious do you ever eat fish

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Not often, mostly because of transport, I actually have some fish in the freezer, some whiting from the last shop that we will eat this month, but generally speaking I don't buy much of it, I did talk about getting some last month and got some suggestions actually and I was going to see if I could buy a box frozen from the deli, and then I would be less concerned about it defrosting in the trip home, just knowing how seafood can be such an issue if not kept nice and cold! We adore seafood though, and at Christmas I always make a point of getting some as a special thing!

[@punkyfish1977]

Hey nyssa 🐈‍⬛🖤 i hope youre doing ok mate 😊

[@OurSmallFootprint]

It is warmer today! threat of rain but at least not negative temps this morning hehe :D

[@punkyfish1977]

@@OurSmallFootprint haha yes! Here I am in the middle of summer, it was 28 the other day, those temps feel so hot to me here 🤦‍♀️ like crazy hot lol its milder now but August and Sept are usually good temps here . My flowers are struggling 🤣 . You don't seem to have had massively 😁cold temperatures this year like you did last year. Unless I've missed you mentioning it lol

[@BiancaH1120]

That owie on your hand looks nasty, I hope you are ok! Definitely consider getting it checked if it doesnt bugger off, one of my kids had something similar looking and it wasnt good ❤️

[@OurSmallFootprint]

It's a burn unfortunately :S. The doors to the oven are hot, the handles stay cold, but the rest of the doors are REALLY hot... took some getting used to :S

[@ykook7000]

Do that same time for Lives ...do whats easiet for you the video still got lots of views later on... Also you can make it for subscribers only so as to keep out the riff raff

[@elliecamar8659]

lol you obviously don’t know the meaning of lazy. You are not lazy. I know because your lazy day sounded like a busy busy day to me lol!!!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

lol, my husband says much the same to me all the time!

[@suelamond4060]

Hows your car going? Someone backed into my car yesterday on my way home.He backed into me as i was leaving to go home so i have 2 scraped passenger side doors.Hes not insured so i hope everything goes ok.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

urgh, fx the repairs go smoothly. It's running atm, we're still in the process of deciding what action needs to be taken to keep it going, we're hopefully taking it to a friend to help diagnose the most immediate things that need fixing and assess how to keep it running optimally for the best price lol.
