If you mix a tablespoon of maple syrup with a teaspoon of miso paste, then toast a handful of walnuts or pecans. Pour half the maple miso mixture on the nuts while still in the warm pan and stir until sticky. Put the nuts on the oatmeal and drizzle the remaining maple miso mixture on the oats. You’ll love the taste! The mixture should be enough for two servings. I make it all the time in the winter for my husband and me.

[@frochoffthebranch]

Oh my that sounds amazing!! I would never have thought to use the miso paste with that combo... what a great idea! Thank you for sharing I will try that!

[@LindaASJ]

If you have a bunch of spinach or kale in your garden, you can blend it up with the coconut water, freeze it in ice cube trays and then dump the frozen cubes into gallon bags in the freezer. Add them to soups and smoothies.

[@frochoffthebranch]

Wow another great idea thank you! I wouldn’t have thought to blend them with coconut water but that would definitely add flavor, bulk, and nutrients.

[@lindsaymarie4416]

So funny, we got so many of the same things in our last order. One thing I got this time that I'm super excited about is tomato powder. You can make paste from it or juice, sauce etc. Plus it's organic and shelf stable 😊

[@frochoffthebranch]

Oh cool, we’re on the same page! Oh sweet I saw that a few days ago and was intrigued by it. It may make its way into my next order ;)

[@dougzwife]

I just ordered for my second time too...we are like minded and get some of the very same things! I just made a video about my last purchase, and I love watching others videos to get new ideas!

I never thought to look at Azure's beef sticks, great idea. I'll have to look into that! And you taught me something new about rolled oats! I had no idea they were so good for your gut and colon. Great haul!

Shalom! I was watching Azure standard hauls and found your channel. Our family was just recently in Missouri attending a Sukkot gathering! We are in NY looking to hopefully make a move soon. We have been Torah Observant now for about 2 years. We love Azure for all the same reasons. So glad to have run across your channel. I plan on checking out your Kosher recipes. If I wasn't already signed up with Azure, I would definitely use your link. Blessings! 😁

[@frochoffthebranch]

Shalom sis! That’s really exciting you guys have been keeping Torah now over the last few years! Same with us about 4 years and it’s just been the greatest blessing of our lives to truly love Abba through our obedience to Him! I pray as many people as possible come into the truth of His beautiful Word and plan for us. That’s exciting you were just out here in Missouri for Sukkot! There are surprisingly many assemblies here so that’s a real encouragement. We previously spent most our lives in California and didn’t know anyone there that observed Torah and believed in Messiah Yeshua. Would be neat to run into you one day :) thanks for leaving a comment and I pray you have a day full of joy and shalom ❤️

Oh wow didn't know they used pig rennet! I also do not eat pork , and also shellfish,or fish w/o fins and scales..really have to watch those ingredients ,they sneak into everything even marshmallows have porcine,which is another name for pork. Finally I see someone who orders large ,like I do this next one is a doozy but ,then I only have to fill gaps..I am a Sabbath keeper also. great haul ! I also like the Leggett shampoo bars, and could always use for soap too!!

[@frochoffthebranch]

Hey sis! Yeah it’s pretty crazy... a work of the enemy in defilement for sure! But I guess it’s a good exercise for us to practice vigilance in being set-apart in all ways! Never an easy task, but in a way it gets easier with time as we can kinda narrow down on what we know is okay for us. Good to hear we are on the same page in all these ways! 👍🥰

[@karlacurry4822]

Just wanted to echo what someone else already said... you cannot water glass storebought eggs, or even fresh eggs that have been washed. They need to still have the bloom on them to be properly preserved.

[@ahumbleplace]

if you're looking for an alternative to soy sauce, coconut aminos are also gluten-free and taste very similar. I use them in place of soy sauce in any dishes that call for it. :) Azure also sells that.

[@frochoffthebranch]

Thank you for that! We do use coconut aminos as well and think it’s delicious! I guess there are just certain dishes that we want a specific soy sauce taste with so we allow for the soy in those circumstances :)

I like garlic powder from Costco because it’s sourced in California. There is a shoe called Rotton and talks about Garlic. Definitely makes me want to grow garlic as much as I can. 😆 I am hoping to place my first order in January. This was helpful thank you.

[@frochoffthebranch]

Ok yes when I used to live in California I also lived in a city with a Costco and I sure do miss it! I would get that garlic powder as well :) my closest Costco is now over 2 hours away 🥲 I’ve never grown it either, that would be awesome! I think you’ll be very happy with your first order 🥰

[@intentionallymade]

@@frochoffthebranch of you can try to grow garlic definitely do it. It’s my favorite thing to grow and can handle tough winters. I can’t remember what your zone is. Our Costco was an hour away and then my hubby moved jobs and there is a Costco right next to his work! score!! Haha.

You should contact Sara from you tube channel, Our Tribe of Many. She grinds her own wheat into flour and I feel like the issues you are having with the four your grinding is either because of the grinder you’re using or the type of wheat berry you’re using. Sara makes bread, tortillas, sweet baked goods and I know she’s talked about how she uses different types of wheat berries and changes the setting on the grinder based on what she’s making.

[@frochoffthebranch]

Thanks for the recommendation! I love Sara’s channel! I will indeed contact her about these issues... I’m always eager to learn more! I really enjoy the Mockmill Grain mill i have but I do grind everything on the same setting so maybe that’s part of my issue.. also, I’ve noticed if I sift some bran out I get better results.

[@kathymcmc]

The iodine in the kelp powder was a great idea. I don't believe the Himalayan Pink Salt has any iodine. An iodine shortage can cause a goiter. Nobody wants a goiter. That big goiter lump on someone's neck is scary.

[@foxdhmtbike]

Diatomaceous earth is also not good for worms in the garden, which is something to watch out for. Also for people with colon problems....

[@frochoffthebranch]

oh that's no good, thanks for letting me know. I haven't implemented it yet in the garden so I will need to do more research as to if theres a way to avoid killing off the worms.

[@karlacurry4822]

Also... try pesto with nutritional yeast instead of cheese, walnuts instead of pine nuts, and a mix of herbs/greens.

[@frochoffthebranch]

thanks for the recommendations! I typically use all walnuts or a mix of walnuts and cashews because I don't want to pay for pine nuts! lol I have yet to try the nutritional yeast though... great idea!

Ok nice thanks I’ll check out that brand. We haven’t gotten teriyaki sauce in a while but that would be nice with no soy.

Are you ordering the wheat berries or the flour . If you order the wheat berries, and grind them yourself, they last longer.

Hey thanks for your comment. I have ordered both. I have ordered their organic unbleached all purpose several times for specific breads and baked goods I make, but also stocked up on wheat berries for long term storage and use my Mockmill grain mill for that. Thank you!

You mention not being willing to use baking powder that isn’t aluminum free and you are right. However, I would highly recommend doing a better research about eating any acid foods that come in a can, aluminum leaches because of high acidity content 😢. Organic can food is not always a healthy alternative.

Thanks for your input, I will look into that and make the best changes necessary 👍

[@wyldhomestead246]

Greetings, I heard that you are a Kosher Family, but I missed the Hechsher on the cheese and the soup can you tell me which Hashgacha they have? This haul is very interesting. :) Thanks for sharing!

[@frochoffthebranch]

Hey thanks for your question! There is not a kosher certification on the parmesan cheese and I'm not sure about the soups, I would need to check. While we do look for and appreciate kosher certifications and know of their value, we also just eat in a manner that is aligned with basic scriptural kosher laws in the Torah. So in the case of the parm cheese, the rennet used is a microbial rennet so I do not have to worry about the possibly of a pork rennet being used. I do understand that parmesan cheese is a controversial topic in the orthodox jewish community based more on a meat&milk issue vs. an unclean animal issue. I am certainly not an expert on these things but we strive to do the very best we can in honoring Elohim's commands!

How do you store your salt?

[@frochoffthebranch]

I have some of our salt kept in the brown paper bags they come in from Azure. But I also have 2 gallon glass jars from azure full of salt. I am noticing some clumping at the top from our humidity so I will need to probably add a silica packet or something but it’s not that big of a problem. I keep a small glass container full in my spice cabinet for cooking and just refill from those big containers 👍

[@jessybsjourney3691]

Can you say how you use the vital wheat? I purchased whole grains but the bread never turns out 😟

[@frochoffthebranch]

I totally can relate! So I’ve used it 3 times with success.. I believe you add a tablespoon of the vital wheat per cup of flour but I could be off. Azure has instructions printed on the bag :) also, are you using a sourdough starter or active yeast to rise your bread? If a starter, ive found I really need to make sure I bake at maximum activity (4-6 hours after feeding) in order to achieve a more normal bread rise

[@jessybsjourney3691]

Thats good to know! I use sourdough starter and haven't really paid attention to the timing after I feed it. I'll definitely try that. Ty!

[@frochoffthebranch]

@@jessybsjourney3691 no problem! that seems to have solved it for me for sure. Also, if you feed your starter with the intent to make a loaf of bread later, scoop out a smaller amount into a separate jar or bowl and feed it equal parts flour and water (a scale helps with this but its necessary). This way, you will have the starter amount you need for your recipe and the smaller amount allows your starter to become very active more quickly since it will have a good amount of "food" to take from right away.

[@ColleenH38]

You cannot use store bought eggs to water glass. They have been washed and the "bloom" removed so do not water glass them ever. Also, fresh eggs can't be washed and no more than 24 hours old.

[@frochoffthebranch]

Thanks so much!
