Making 3 Days Worth of Food in 3 Hours | Gather your Fragments | Home Cooking

[@carolynczachura138]

Good morning Amy. We hope you and your family have a great weekend. We love your vlogs. Remember you are loved.

[@Happylilsis]

If I didn’t have the coconut for the hamburger cookies, I would feel the need to go to the store to get it! You are teaching me that IT’S OK! No one will care!! Thank you for being real!

[@amymaryon]

Welcome and the cookies.. Are all gone..without coconut :)

[@stephanieromano4752]

Amy, I hope you know how much of an inspiration on every level you are to us. The days that I don’t think I can get through, I watch your videos and know we are all in this thing called life, together. Thank you.❤️

[@patriciamcintire]

So Very True, everyone have a great night.

[@veganashley7]

I am definitely the type of person who likes to cook three times a day when I'm at home on the weekends BUT you're right, it should be seen as a luxury not an expectation because I know so many other people have WAY more obligations at home than I do. Leisure time to cook at home is a small, simple blessing that I have and can acknowledge and appreciate. Hope your weekend is lovely!

[@kristinaclark8307]

Oh my today l helped my 85 year old Mom clean her freezer...my dear step-dad who is 94 loves to buy interesting food! There were so many good packages of expensive meats. I am calling today fantastic fragment Friday!!! I have been cooking for over 40 years and sometimes you just run out of meal ideas. I have found lots of ideas on the internet.

[@2009MrsJones]

Why on earth have I never thought of calling my friends and ask for dinner ideas 🤪🙈 Thank you so much for the tip!

[@s.c.prepperann6921]

Thank you for sharing your time with us. God bless you, and I am praying for your sweet family.

[@janmking1]

You are a phenomenal adaptable cook ! I love your videos !

[@kellysterling6131]

The best 2ay I've found is 5 in the insta pot 5 in ice bath 5 rest and peel. Your breakfast looks amazing.

[@lisabreeding1861]

When I was going up we use to have keibasa, pieroges and applesauce for dinner. It was all homemade. We had family up north that would make these yearly and we would go pick it up. Now I make my own pieroges.

[@nancyasberry8458]

Amy, I am always impressed by how much you get done in your day, and how much you obviously care for your family. You're doing an amazing job, especially considering how much you film and how disruptive it must be to your day to be constantly carrying around a camera on a tripod. I haven't seen your hubby around for a while, so I hope he and the kids are all doing well.

[@kulickfamilyfarm4333]

Hi Amy! I have found that adding a Teaspoon of baking soda to the water when hard boiling eggs helps the shells to come off easier. I think the fresher the egg, the harder they are to peel. Best of luck next time! ❤

[@jeannebrown484]

Yes, I also believe fresh eggs are more difficult to peel.

[@meghanmahood8344]

Hi Amy I do my hard boiled eggs in the instant pot they come out perfect every time! Cook on manual high pressure for 5 minutes or if you have an egg button press and then quick release and place in ice water for 5 min they peal amazingly

[@lisaamerrell73]

Another great video. Thank you for sharing your days with us and being an encourager to your viewers. Life isn’t always perfect, but He is. That’s the one thing in this life you can depend on. He never changes. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. His Word is truth~ He won’t fail us or let us down. And I’m so thankful for that. I pray you Have a blessed weekend, Amy….Take care. See ya Monday 😉❤

[@amymaryon]

Amen

[@Happylilsis]

Good morning! Saying a prayer for you right now!

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

I’ll be gathering fragments too. Have a head of cabbage to use plus a bunch of garden veg in my freezer. A few bits and bobs of roasted veg need using plus I had a salad kit freeze in my refrigerator. So…it’s deconstructed cabbage rolls for me, stir fried rice noodles with frozen salad kit (it works in stir fries) and using up chicken broth with loads of garden veg from the freezer for soup. Tonight, it’s a melange of left over roasted veg and a left over potato with chili beans and shredded cheese (lactose free) for supper - thanks to you and the great idea. I love gathering and using things up! Yay! Bundt success! Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy that party!

[@ImallamaToo]

I do the 5-5-5 method in the Instant Pot for boiled eggs. I could never get them to peel perfectly any other way, and they come out beautifully in the IP. Pressure cook them for 5 minutes, natural release for 5 minutes, then 5 minutes in an ice bath. It's the only way I will make them.

[@regenesteffen2814]

If your fresh eggs smell like chicken poop and feed- you need to clean coop and laying boxes. Chickens typically are very clean- especially where they lay eggs.

[@amymaryon]

When you have 35 of them ..they get mixed up sometimes.:) No matter how often you clean and when it rains or is wintertime and everything is frozen :)

[@trfrierson]

How i do my boiled eggs are bring the water to a brisk boil. Drop the eggs in and 8 minutes for soft boil and 10 minutes for hard boiled. I always put them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Perfect everytime

[@beverleypicard2116]

Good morning Amy hope you have a great rest of your day and hope you know how much I appreciate you, thank you for caring for all of us followers.💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@cherylcranford8908]

Boil eggs, I full a pot with eggs covered with water bring to full boiled covered shut off heat when fully boil leave in pan for 14 minutes place in strainer run cold water over eggs. I don't use them right away I keep them in fridge kids do as a grab and go. Peels much easier if done a day ahead

[@bencrank9810]

I find it easier to peel the egg shell when the eggs are still warm. My mom told me the fresher the eggs the harder they are to peel. Hopefully this helps.

[@kathycunningham6677]

Good morning Amy, Had a great time with you today gathering your fragments and seeing what meals n desserts you came up with for the kids n yourself. Both chocolate cakes look wonderful. Movie night is going to be goodie special. Thanks for sharing and Amen to the passage from James. You and the kids have a fantastic, fun and blessed day. 🙏🙏😊

[@kathygarnett5115]

After watching you for years we’ve started gathering fragments and there’s only 2 of us but it helps thank you!

[@jodytempleton-jackson1377]

Good to have adventure of creativity

[@cathyburns750]

A yummy cooking and baking day with Amy!! All your recipes looked really good! And your bundt cake turned out perfect!! Hope you had a fun movie night with the kids!! God bless!

[@vivianjacobs6584]

Amy enjoy gather your fragments love all the food have a blessed weekend ♥️♥️👍💯👍

[@agirly1503]

Hi Amy 👋 I bought an egg steamer with a pin to poke a tiny hole in the Shell and it works perfectly nothing else has let me peel the eggs so easily! I know it is a unitasker but I love it 🙂🥚🍳

[@doloresparker3582]

Amy you are my inspiration to make the best of each day even though things inmy life are really hard. Love you and your precious children. Hugs!

[@amymaryon]

You got this !

[@kariokeefe1387]

Good morning Amy. Thank you for another wonderful video. What a blessing you are. Have you ever heard of a lettuce knife? I bought mine at dollar tree and it’s a plastic knife that cuts lettuce and helps do the lettuce does not turn brown from the metal knives. Game changer for sure.

[@modgranny]

I've heard that the older eggs are easier to peel. So if you having trouble, it is almost a good thing...eggs might be fresher. Fun video, thanks for the great ideas!

[@Barbaracoyle]

Good morning Amy, Hope you and your family are doing well. Thank you for another amazing Friday video. Amy, go with the flow. Have a blessed weekend.

[@loriruby9433]

Burrito bowls look so good- actually everything does !!!

[@clairebrittain3511]

Love these videos! 😁 Thanks Amy

[@barbieevans1910]

Hello. I also moved to wnc from the north. My eggs didn't turn out for years! Think it's an elevation thing but have found if I cover with cold water bring to a boil with lid on then turn off let sit for 20 min then move to cold water to cool they have been great again.

[@kathybridges3343]

Good morning Amy ❤ I pray you a beautiful peaceful day.

[@jamiekendall7245]

Miss Amy I have done my eggs this way for many years eggs in pot cover with cold water, bring to rolling boil for 4 min, cover on hot burner, turn off and let set 1 hour. Sometimes I even let them sit longer, I then cover with cold water. I never peel my eggs til ready to eat , I put them in an egg carton marked hard boiled they stay fresh longer.

[@patriciamcintire]

I'm just watching now,been busy today..I made sweet potatoes inmy slow cooker for Christmas,,they were sooooo good,Alot of people make regular baked potatoes that way as well,Say they turn out perfectly done..enjoy.

[@joannbanks7007]

If you cook eggs in an air fryer they peel very easy! I cook them on 270 for 17 min

[@peggycapshaw6544]

The age of the eggs also play a roll in how they peel.

[@samanthazehr9965]

Great video, as usual! Love gathering fragments!! Have a fantastic weekend🙂❤

[@hockeymomlawton]

Here is how to make your cheesy potatoes dairy free: -Make your own cream of mushroom soup and chicken soup with oatmilk. Use a touch less flour when you make it, dairy free cheese has lots of starch in it. - dairy free sour cream - dairy free shredded cheese - use a daiya cheese packet or make a dairy free cheese sauce (stir in a touch of salsa if you don't have spicy daiya) I've made something similar before. It's totally manageable especially if they love it.

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

Or you can use lactose free versions of milk, sour cream and cheese if lactose free works for the digestive issues!

[@amymaryon]

Thank you

[@tonkatoi40]

Great rising and blessing Amy love the ideals and wonderful words of motivation ✨️ God blessed have a wonderful and beautiful day ❤️ 😊

[@naomiverdugo2180]

Good morning sweet sister Amy! I was having the same issue with hard boiled eggs. I was getting so frustrated I just wanted to throw them into the wall! Lol! I did not of course. I tried everything. Then someone told me to steam them! It worked! If you have a pot with a inside piece that has holes in it use that! I have not had any trouble with getting them out of the shells since! Try it. Have a wonderful weekend. Looking forward to Psalm Saturday! ❤

[@de1961]

Yes, Mr. Tom from Deep South Bama with Mr. Tom. He makes some good looking food!

[@amymaryon]

Thanks for.this

[@nicolestangl6501]

I made chicken quesadillas for supper the other day.

[@heatherkenworthy4969]

Everything looked delicious as always. Hope you and your children have a blessed weekend. See you tomorrow.

[@kelliconlan8133]

My trick with making hard-boiled eggs is to use older eggs at the "best by" date or older. (Eggs are still good 3 weeks or more after the date.) And I only make them on the stove with the boiling water.

[@juliemiller4288]

I saw a trick for eggs. You take an ice cube tray. Crack an egg in each compartment. Then freeze them. Then you can thaw when you need an egg!! 🥚 🐣 🍳 🥚 🐣 🍳

[@roseanna5711]

Looks delicious 😋 Thank you for more ideas!!! Praying your day is blessed and beautiful!!

[@snowy5742]

Afternoon Amy from the UK, loving the cooking today. I do weekly shopping. Have a blessed weekend.

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Hi Amy, those hamburger cookies were so cute! You got some great meals for the weekend. Have a great weekend friend.

[@jojoyoung2803]

Thankyou💖 really enjoyed watching this video 💖

[@MT-US]

I am a non-traditional student during the week, so I try to cook something on the weekend that I can reheat during the week. So, your ideas are very helpful as I'm not much of a cook. I've said this before ... I am trying to do better and your videos are very encouraging to me. Thank you! I may try my hand at a slow cooker chili this weekend for the first time! GBU

[@amymaryon]

Yes!! You will do great with it

[@MT-US]

@@amymaryon thank you for the voice of confidence... that means a lot to me 💕😊

[@amymaryon]

You will!!

[@marystevens6245]

Super mom you find amazing meals out of food that alot of people just throw away. I don't make alot of meals because there is just me so I eat alot of microwave cooking. I still enjoy watching you make your meals for your family they are really lucky to have you as a mom.

[@jorobinson6640]

I'm from Australia. We don't tend to use pressure cookers (what people in the USA call "instapots") so much here. I've had one for quite a few years, and I've always been a little afraid of it (all that billowing steam and being scared of blowing the roof off ha ha!) However, I have since braved the steam clouds and realised the pressure cooker is the BEST thing for cooking eggs, chicken and so many other things. I have freshly laid chicken eggs, and find that a cup of water in the bottom of the pressure cooker, laying the eggs on a rack and pressure cooking for 4 minutes on high, waiting two minutes then releasing the steam, before ice water bathing works perfectly every time to shell hard boiled eggs. The only exception was when I travelled to the "lowlands" to visit my daughter (i.e. I live at 1,330 m elevation - 4,365 feet in U.S. speak). At the lower elevation, the eggs all cracked. I need to reconfigure that, with Dr Google's Help. :)

[@debbyshowalter6193]

Love you Amy !! You rock your a great mamma God bless🙏🏻

[@tamerawencl5675]

I use Ina Garen's (The Barefoot Contessa) method to make hard boiled eggs. Put your eggs in the sauce pan, cover with cold water and bring to a rolling boil and I boil them for about 1 min, then shut the heat off, cover the pat and set aside off the heat for 20 min (don't open the lid), then drain, run cold water over to cool and then fully cool in fride, then peel - I have yet to have a green/under or over cooked egg. They are not rubbery at all. I also use my box grater to shred them for egg salad, rather than chop, as it makes for a fluffier eggsalad, then as S/P, Dill, finely minced onion or chives if you prefer and I like Miracle Whip and just blend.

[@dforrest5699]

Hello Amy, as usual everything looks yummy. I love to watch your videos, you are such a good person. Hope you have a nice day.😊

[@annakelley5591]

Thank you for inspiration! My family enjoyed some wonderful banana bread. It was delicious if I say so myself.

[@nancyj9892]

It's my resolution to start make ahead breakfast items. I get so bored eating the same thing (hard to think of things on keto). I can make all of those keto. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day today, Amy!

[@lindaneuhaus1026]

Good morning Amy, I watched today's video while cleaning my kitchen up, and then jumped onto this video. Life gets busy and I'm not alays able to watch videos when you post them. I was wondering if your veggie chopper can be used for small tomatoes? or will they squish. And I saw you adding spinach to your breakfast hash, I use spinach in homemade quiche, sloppy joe's and meatloaf. My kids at first were like what is that, but not they know that's what momma does.

[@angelapattillo6299]

@amymaryon I put my eggs in a pot cover with water when it comes to a boil I let it boil 15 mins then I run the whole pan under cold water from the sink and peel right then they turn out perfect every time

[@doloresrozman5612]

This is what I would do for HB eggs.pressure cook, drain, as I put in ice water I either roll to loosen shell or crack both ends then put in ice water. Water goes under loosen shell making easier to peel. Don't wait too long to peel. Good luck.

[@brichimay]

I can only make good boiled eggs with the automatic boiled egg maker by Dash. It only makes 6 at a time, but the eggs come out pretty consistently.

[@karenennis6109]

Good morning. When I was growing up we always made our frosting with shortening. No one liked coffee so we always used milk to be the wet ingredient. I'm excited for the weekend my niece is home from Kansas City for the last 3 days she leaves in the morning and I'm going to get to spend some time with her today I'm excited about that. We had several storms this week I'm hoping that you didn't get all the snow that was coming across the country. It's crazy that one week you can be out in your short sleeves, and then a couple days later you're wearing winter coats cuz you got feet of snow. I hope you have a fantastic friday and I'll see you tomorrow

[@amymaryon]

Enjoy your weekend

[@debbyshowalter6193]

Been there Amy 🤦🏼‍♀️love when I have new ideas!!!

[@susiefriesen501]

Fresh eggs do not peel well. I like to use older eggs for boiling and they peel just fine.

[@corran2000]

It is true that newer eggs don’t peel well, I’ve experimented (I have boiled eggs every day) and have found that older eggs are best and that peeling them whilst still warm works better than cold but if leaving till cold crack them and let them sit in the water for a bit.

[@pamelaliming5946]

steam eggs. steamer basket over boiling water for 10 mins. easy peel every time.

[@joleenshepherd2090]

Happy Friday Amy hope you have a great weekend xx

[@lisaf6508]

Love this!😍

[@laurenhill2291]

I have found that farm fresh eggs I can get to peel for hard-boiled eggs if I bring the water to a boil, lower cold eggs into the water cook for 13 minutes, then get ice water and shock the eggs in the ice water at the end of the 13min. The temperature shocks are what make them easy to peel.

[@maryreynolds5310]

Tonight for dinner, I made simple sandwich on sourdough bread. Right now, I'm making homemade sugar cookies :) Love ya xo

[@teresawilliams662]

Those cakes look so good and that hamburger cookie is an awesome idea for my grandkids. They're going to love them. Thank you!

[@angelapattillo6299]

@ Amy Maryon my 6 year old grandson likes to take microwave popcorn a handful of pretzels couple handfuls of Doritos and Cheetos few handfuls of chocolate chips some m&m candies mix it all in a big bowl that’s what we eat during our movie night it’s really good sounds crazy but it’s yummy

[@donnakuester2212]

I grew up on a big farm. When I was became grown and had my own home I thought “store bought” milk was the greatest thing ever. No after taste of the wild onions the cows would inevitably find in the pasture field😂.!

[@amymaryon]

Yes!! I still remember the taste of fresh cow milk...I can't do it 😂

[@vrkid4941]

My mom would let the eggs come to a boil then turn off cover and let stay in pot on stove until the water was cool then the shells would come off perfectly.

[@barbaraswank9504]

ut of the grease Hi Amy , Here to give a hint. Get yourself a cooling rack not coated put it into your sheet pan and put your bacon on it. Will keep the bacon out of the grease

[@shendybean6114]

Hey Amy Just run the eggs under cool water as the ice will make them like that x

[@ericag6876]

I ask my family if I talk to my sisters mom aunt I always ask what is everyone having for dinner lol lol

[@dianemurillo6017]

i think its the eggs themselves. i have the same issue and it doesn't seem to matter how i cook them. sometimes they are fine most of the time not ....also i think moms should get extra credit just for thinking of dinners for decades...lol . thank you amy you are so appreciated .

[@plz2micha41]

Good morning, Amy! You look beautiful as always. Have a blessed day and a great weekend!

For your lactose children, there are caplets they can take to stop affects of the dairy. They are lactaid caplets. Found good reviews on them.

[@amymaryon]

Yes they took them and it didn't work :(

[@dqst2012]

I love your top! Where did you get it? :) thank you for all your encourage to this mamma in the trenches of diapers, teething, potty training, and homeschooling. Your videos are a blessing to me. Started making your pumpkin chocolate chip muffins and my kids love them!

[@corran2000]

Hi Julie, if I remember correctly Amy got the dress at good will some time ago, I don’t know the make sadly to help you further but maybe Amy will see your comment and let you know if the label is still legible.

[@jankrzykwa5522]

kielbasa and pierogies is a favorite in our house too. 😋

[@traceyray6498]

Truthfully, I’ve never had a pierogy. They look amazing!!

Maybe it’s Chipotle you’re thinking of? As usual, loved your content. So relatable….

[@normajeanjessen6008]

Good show today thanks for all the ideas. God Bless you and your family

[@agirly1503]

I thought Chipotle 🌶

[@amymaryon]

Yes

[@kristicitak3932]

With flour spray (not a fan. It clogs 😝) grease and flour is your best bet for success. I bake a lot.

[@kathywolf6925]

Amy Suggestion on eggs make sure the whole egg is cracked all over and then grabbed a little piece and catch that little membrane and it peel perfect works for me . God Bless have a Great week-end Love from Kansas🥰

[@paradox2666]

Any love your channel could you show us your pantry? I noticed that you could step up into it. Do yo store your bulk buckets under the floor of your pantry?

[@amymaryon]

It is the stairs for the basement:) so it doesn't open

[@naturallyfaithlovelargefamily]

We have chickens and I struggle eating our eggs also. I thought I was just weird 😬 glad to know it's not just me.

[@kellibullock6528]

Same lol 😂

[@DebrasDeliciousDishes]

Good day Amy

[@jacquelinetennant5049]

Miss Barbara you're amazing.

[@tammyhaeske2016]

People Tell me it's way too long but I'm sorry I boil my eggs for 20 minutes they come out good

[@jacquemcarthur9783]

Wow 😳 maybe we all need a real praying through with Jesus ♥️

[@luvangelmyers2731]

I am so glad you talked about the “egg” thing. I grew up on a farm and could not eat the eggs. THE SMELL!!🤮Same now. And I can buy “fresh” eggs in my area but I don’t want them🤢

[@amymaryon]

Smiling with you

[@roxie0648]

Not criticizing just making a suggestion, when making the fajita bowls maybe leave out the lettuce to avoid cooking them when reheating the bowl…TY for posting great meal ideas.

[@amymaryon]

Yes we took it out when we heated it love suggestions

[@lithottamera6089]

Great video
