Praying for your healing

[@ruggedmountainhomestead]

Bless you! Thank you so very much. I truly appreciate it. ❤

[@SkyZajd]

Carob and chocolate are from two different plants, but both are delicious. Best of luck on your healing journey!

[@ruggedmountainhomestead]

@@SkyZajd Thanks! That is good to know. I so appreciate the well wishes.🌻

[@barb7014]

Great haul! Best wishes with your back issues; my darling sister has been dealing with the same. God bless.

[@ruggedmountainhomestead]

@@barb7014 Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it. Many prayers for your sister. ❤️

Sorry to hear about your back. Hope you feel some relief soon. Great haul! My order is coming next week. Thanks for sharing.

[@ruggedmountainhomestead]

@@eileenpalumbo6578 thanks so much. I appreciate it. I’m glad to have an explanation for it. Let me know what have been some of your favorite things to order from Azure. I love hearing how others started.

[@trueamerica]

prayers to you, please stay away from seed oils, they are really inflammatory, it's definitely worth buying olive oil, avocado oil, tallow or even lard

[@deanbarr5740]

Prayers for you Sarah and Dean. Praying your surgery goes well and the Dr will get you fixed. I’m from north central West Virginia. I hope your winter is mild and easy for you both.

[@ruggedmountainhomestead]

@@deanbarr5740 thank you so much! I truly appreciate the prayers. Hoping to put surgery off as long as possible but we’ll see. You are in a beautiful part of the country as well! May we all have a blessed, peaceful and restful winter season. 🌻❄️

HUGE Haul!! I loved it all. I need to try their vanilla. How long do your russet potatoes last? Prayers for your back 🙏🏼 Take it slow friend!

[@ruggedmountainhomestead]

Thank you so much!! I can all but 10 lbs. of the potatoes. I still have 5 lbs. in the pantry where it’s cool and dark and they are fine. Yes! Try their vanilla! The four fold has the best flavor! Having an MRI next week. Please keep me in your prayers. 🙏 So good to hear from you, friend. 😊🌻

[@JenHomesteadingRN]

So sorry your back has been hurting...I, too, had surgery 8 years ago and it definitely gives me trouble at times. Gardening can be rough on it for sure! Great haul...I did mine last month...all set for winter now. Feels good, doesn't it?

[@ruggedmountainhomestead]

@@JenHomesteadingRN I love knowing that I am prepared for come what may! So glad you enjoy Azure as well. Would love to know some of your favorite items that you stock.

[@JenHomesteadingRN]

@@ruggedmountainhomestead I think number one would be their honey. Then all your pantry staples...flour, sugar, oats, cornmeal, cocoa powder, powdered milk, salt, spices, etc. I haven't managed to grow enough potatoes, carrots, or onions for the year yet so I fill in with Azure. So good at a good price. I also get frozen green beans, corn, and mixed veggies which I then can. I also get raspberries and blackberries to turn into jam. And lastly, I LOVE buying the organic cheeses in bulk. I shred them up and freeze them and it's good, quality cheese with no weird chemicals. I try to get it all in one order once a year as the drop is pretty far away from me. Love watching Azure hauls! Thanks :)

[@ruggedmountainhomestead]

@@JenHomesteadingRN sounds amazing!! I bet you have a fabulous pantry! Well done! 👏

[@simplecountryliving7555]

Wry interesting haul. I hope you get help for your back issues. I have back issues as well.🙏

[@ruggedmountainhomestead]

@@simplecountryliving7555 thank you so much! This seems to be hereditary in my family unfortunately. I pray that your back issues can be resolved. I often say when your back hurts, everything hurts.

What does the sunflower oil taste like? Is there a big difference in cooking with it vs olive oil? How do you can your dry beans, what’s the process?

[@ruggedmountainhomestead]

@@juliefultz6715 the sunflower oil is actually very light. I haven’t noticed a bit of difference other than the olive oil having a more bold flavor. The sunflower oil has a high smoke point so you can use it for basically everything. My process how I can dry beans is not by the Ball book, which is why I haven’t done a video, but has never failed me. Super easy - 1/2 c dry beans per pint jar, 1/2 t. salt and fill jar with water to one inch headspace. Bring canner and jars to temperature at the same time. 75 minutes for pints at the pressure for your elevation.

[@normavaldez9164]

Did you like the cream cheese chub???

[@ruggedmountainhomestead]

@@normavaldez9164 Yes! It is absolutely delicious. Very rich!

[@normavaldez9164]

Is it crumbly

[@normavaldez9164]

Easy to spread

[@ruggedmountainhomestead]

@ yes, I didn’t have a problem at all. What I did though is since it’s packaged as a chub, I put it in a refrigerator container with a lid and used it as spreadable cream cheese. For baking, I just sliced off however many ounces I needed. 🌻

[@ruggedmountainhomestead]

@ the cheese will become crumbly if you put it in the freezer. I just kept mine in the refrigerator and it wasn’t crumbly. It has a long shelf life in the refrigerator. Out of curiosity, are you already a customer of Azure Standard?
