August Food Prep, planning and meals Part Four | 6 week grocery cycle | Off Grid Australia 294

linktr.ee/OurS...
Hey everyone!
I just realised I put the wrong photos on the last thumbnail, got ahead of myself! Whoops!
Better late than never! This is the fourth part of the August food prep post the six weekly grocery haul, the first few days, I was so sick that things just worked a little differently this month and I'm sharing that too, some things got frozen instead of being processed, some got processed in a slightly different way etc!
Smoked Pork Roast
Lemon Chung
Velvetted Chicken
Almond Cookies!
Enjoy!
The website still has A LOT to go on it, there is a lot of dead links and empty space and even some 'sample stuff' from the template I bought, but if you'd like to look at how a sample recipe will look, here's a link and feedback is always welcome :)

I just realised when doing the thumbnail for this video that I got ahead of myself and put the wrong photos on the previous videos thumbnail! Whoops! Sorry!

[@TheLifeOfAliInAustralia]

Love all your video's, try and catch as many as I can! From a fellow Aussie in Adelaide xx

[@TheLifeOfAliInAustralia]

Ps, I'd love your breakfast sausage recipe please!!

[@jennyt7612]

Thanks Nyssa for this video. I enjoy cooking & I really feel I'm learning lots of new ideas & recipes from your channel. My mum loved cooking too & I think you are what she would describe as an instinctive cook - you seem to find the best ways to prep, cook & present meals. You make it look easy but I appreciate all the time & effort you put into your videos.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

My mum always says I learned how to throw a meal together with whatever we have from my Grandmother, she had 4 kids and not much when my mum was young and she lived with us when I was an early tween/teen, she was very arthritic and used to direct me in the kitchen while she sat at the table, so I think I learned the basics of throwing meals together from her and have expanded on it over time! :D

[@sallyhostetter2820]

Thanks for all these videos from your August food shopping. You still weren’t feeling too good were you when you made the videos so very understandable if some items were missing. Another great food video. You are probably going to plan September’s food dhopping soon. Cheers to off-grid living. 🇺🇸

[@bethenyauker4727]

Great job as always!!! You're amazing making all this especially the bacon!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

The bacon is so so good, so worth the effort! :D

[@lswest1569]

You & your family living off off-grid is inspirational. My family & I are slowly transforming our lives to a more sovereign way of living and your frankness & honesty about off grid life have helped with our own decisions. Your meals are mouthwatering and I appreciate your hard work & efforts. 😊

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Thank you! :D (sorry I'm a bit behind on answering comments atm). I try to show the good and bad, without sharing everything lol, because we don't want our entire lives on the internet, but I do try and show some of the struggles and how we try and work around them etc too :D

[@sarahgriffiths8013]

I learn something I didn’t know from all your videos. So informative. Thank you. And the food ……….Yum.

[@aprilwright8056]

Wow, you fixed some good lookin’ food!!!

[@debimorsette1685]

You’ve got great knife skills, my dear. I wish I could slice pork roast as thin as you. Is there a back story I’ve missed as to why you are the only one that eats dairy? The kids are all allergic or they don’t care for the taste off butter and cheese? I’m still cooking at 70 years old. My favorite vloggers are the ones with large families. You are my go to gal. I’ve been going back and watching you’re older videos. Thanks for sharing…. Debi in Vicksburg, MS, USA 🥰🥰

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Lots of practice with knives hehe :D. The kids all had varying issues with dairy as babies, some more severe than others, but they couldn't have it at all (except Kavik, he was always ok) I had to not eat dairy while nursing etc. We now do fermented dairy, quite a few years back, over the 5 that we've lived here lol, we were seeing an allergist and he suggested introducing fermented dairy and seeing if they tolerated that, so they do, Kefir, yoghurt, some cultured sour creams etc! I'd imagine that some of them would tolerate dairy better now than they did before, and perhaps some wouldn't (Sonnet still struggles with eczema if she eats the wrong things quite badly, so she's probably still fairly sensitive). But the problem is that it was mostly stomach issues that occurred if they ate dairy, vomiting and cramping and diarrhoea, so the idea of trying them on it is a little ick lol. So I feel like we do well without it, with small amounts added here and there, but mostly they have alternatives now and we're used to it! :D

Hi nyssa. Wow that pork,and those pizzas are the best I’ve seen look so delicious, I’d give anything for a piece of that pizza 😋 take care love Marilyn❤️

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I love pizza, but its so much work to make lol :D

[@sharonburling2262]

I want pizza now! You could go into business with those pizzas! Actually you could go into business with the majority of your food! The Dutch baby pancakes look delicious. I wish I lived at your place! Our chooks have started laying again! We got 15 today! Ill have to make that or the fritatta that you make for my partner Leigh. I wish I liked eggs!

[@sharonburling2262]

Also what do guinea fowl eggs look like. We have some smaller narrower eggs which look like chicken eggs , but just want to be sure. Thanks ❤

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I'm looking at making frittata today actually, so many eggs atm lol, I think we got 21 yesterday!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

They are similar size to chicken eggs, but are pointier, they have a very distinct point to them on one end, they're also a lot harder to crack, a lot tougher shell!

[@sharonburling2262]

Thankyou. Can you eat them?

[@OurSmallFootprint]

@@sharonburling2262 Yop, they’re just like any other egg. We personally haven’t eaten them because our Guinea fowl hide when they nest, so when we do find a nest we’ve got no idea which eggs are new/old/developed lol.

[@elizaC3024]

Those plastic containers are frequently sold at Costco for $9-10 for a 6 pack of them, here in the USA.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

They're $30+ for a pack of them at our costco :S.

[@karenlauder9768]

Hey Nyssa🥰 Yum!!! I want pizza now 😂🤣😂

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Always time for pizza hehe! :D. I love that you can put all sorts of leftovers on it!

[@tawanajackson5545]

I'm going to try making my own bacon and put it in the smoker with pecan wood 🌞 Great video as usual. I'm still trying the sourdough starter but I don't know what I'm doing wrong 😢. Any tips would be greatly appreciated ❤❤❤

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Homemade bacon is so good! What are you having trouble with, is it not bubbling for you ?

[@keeperofthehomestead9193]

You need to try it! I've been making our smoked bacon for years. Once you do it, you'll never go back to any other kind!

[@tawanajackson5545]

I'm healing from rotator cuff surgery right now but am looking forward to starting thing's. Thanks for the encouragement ♥️

Only a bit of congestion first thing in the morning, other than that, all better! thankfully! :D

[@rachelmilne7583]

where do you get you herbs in bulk? Thats for another great video. Y

[@mandiesplace]

Love it! Great video The pork is such a cheap option especially when you slice it thin! You can get so many meals out of it! 👍🏻

[@OurSmallFootprint]

We make the pork stretch for so many meals, I really like using it, so long as I don't get complacent with it, we can do so many different flavours that it doesn't feel like its all we're always eating heh.

[@saravillareal6012]

Hi that pizza looks delicious and so does the pork 😋

[@paperbark3754]

wow. just wow. listening to the wind rustling in the eucalypts as you speak is just AMAZING for my CPTSD. i haven't felt this relaxed in weeeeeeeks

[@OurSmallFootprint]

It was so loud this video lol. Wasn't sure how it would come across in the sound file, but it didn't seem overpowering :D

[@mylife-321-0]

Hi Nyssa, so quiet in the peanut gallery today lol! I love watching you make everyone their very own pizzas. I think corn is great on everything! I prefer pineapple on mine, great prep video again thank you for teaching me to cook great food ❤️

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Heh,Tuesday’s are actually a slow day to put videos out but I didn’t even look at the day, I just had one ready so I posted lol. I love pineapple, but not warm lol

[@mplummer1574]

The pizza is my favorite food that you make and I don’t even like pizza as I get older but yours looks delicious 😮

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Hehe, I think keeping pizza somewhat simple is key, we try not to overload it, we go to the effort of that long ferment base and once we figured out the bakerstone box, it just all came together, def a fave meal here too! :D
