I also live in Florida and It didn't take you long to learn that you prep or cook early when it is cooler (lol) thanks to airconditioning. I do the same thing you are doing almost every day. I am also a born again believer and cherish my time with the Lord. I love hearing your Bible inspiration and how God speaks to us through other believers. We live up in the Clearwater area and love it. You are the essence of a light in the darkness. What a blessing you and your family are. Love from a sister in Christ.

[@amymaryon]

Thank you for sharing this....I don't think others can understand always but it is hard when you don't live here :). Thank you for introducing yourself ..we just were up your way this past week and are going to come again soon. Love exploring different areas here.

My parents would go grocery shopping every 6 months. My mennonite dad and English mom find it easy to grocery shop every six months. We didn't have to buy milk and eggs and cheese and yogurt and ice cream and butter and fruits and vegetables. My parents had three gardens and one garden is for fresh fruits and one is for fresh vegetables and one of fresh herbs. In the fall season we go pick all the fresh fruits and vegetables. We washed the fresh fruits and vegetables to can and put in the freezer bags for the winter time and picked the herbs and placed them in the freezer dryer and dry and put them into canning jars. We make homemade pies and bread and cheese and yogurt and ice cream and butter and jelly and jams and soups and broths and dinner rolls and more to put into the freezers and homemade freezer meals to last all winter.

[@joyceprice6749]

Sounds like what my family did. We canned fruits and vegetables. Churned butter, mom milked the cow, had our own chicken's and eggs, beef, and pork. Everything tasted so good. Have a good day.

[@dianekurley4963]

So happy for you in your beautiful home. Love the colors. I still remember the old kitchen. Watched you daily.

[@amymaryon]

Thank you. Its gonna take time to make it my own just like the last kitchen

[@rebekahtrantham2173]

Wow good job Stephen! He's learning by example and thats wonderful 😊

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Hi Amy, Ty so much for all you do for us. You're such a blessing. Love the Maryons.

[@amymaryon]

Have a wonderful day

[@franciagreer]

No worries. Just enjoying doing everyday life along with you Amy😊 It’s so easy to get caught up wishing you could be doing “fun” stuff.. traveling, shopping for a whole new wardrobe 😅 etc! But I’m trying to focus on being content where I am & God’s simple blessings like waking up to see another day and the beautiful sunshine. ☀️Thank you always for your encouragement Amy❤

[@sandradejesus4630]

Hello Amy You are a great daughter, great mom,great grandmom and a wonderful friend.thank you for inspiring me to learn to love cooking may God keep blessing you and using you too give those beautiful bible words.again thank you everyday is a blessing day.❤❤❤❤❤

[@MyPawPrintLife]

That dress style and color is lovely on you. Maxine is just the sweetest little sidekick!!❤️🐾❤️

[@PeggyBalinger]

I enjoyed the last outing you and the kids had! I lookfoward to the next one! Its nice to get out and about walk take in the air and sights! I think we all need that from time to time! I love gods word and the people who share it .wishing you a relaxing day for a busy mom.save me a piece of the ho ho cake😊 blessings to all in your home ..your friend

[@PurpleTulip.]

I totally agree with you Amy, doing life is a routine most of the time but yes , it's an opportunity to ask the Lord what HE has in store.....love The Chosen!!! ...thanks for your encouragement and videos ❤ love what you said about normalising routine...that's what life is, every day is different in some way ....

[@amymaryon]

Have a wonderful day

[@erinb.5103]

Amy, I thought I would share this with you, a little while ago I bought several bologna rings and ground them all and put them into the containers without the mayonnaise and relish just the bologna ground up and froze them so when I wanted ground bologna sandwiches I could take a container out, thaw it and add the stuff. Well it freezes perfectly. Now I can have ground bologna all summer but only had to use my food processor once to do all the work. Just thought I’d share this.

[@aaronaakre9470]

I like the everyday stuff. It’s motivating.

[@samanthazehr9965]

I often wonder what was going thru Joseph's head when he was down in the well? We know how the story ends, but he did not. Great reminder of Gods goodness. He never leaves us, what an awesome promise. Brings me such comfort😊. I hope you have an amazing day, I will see you tomorrow!! 😎❤🙏

[@amymaryon]

I imagine it's the same doubts we go through each day when things don't look right .. thankful for a book to tell us the outcome 😃

[@samanthazehr9965]

@@amymaryon agree 100%!

[@siliconvalleymom901]

Good Morning! If only our kitchens were self cleaning. He did a great job! Your kitchen looks so beautiful! Busy day here. Wishing everyone a lovely rest of the day! Love, prayers and hugs to all. Eileen, Silicon Valley Mom ❤️🙏🥰🌺🌼🌸

[@dorislacaze8475]

Its nice to know pretty much everybody is just having a everyday life taking each day as it comes , doing what we have to do for our self and family’s. But everyday can be a blessed life if you let it be . Have a great day Amy and family

[@amymaryon]

Amen and so very true

[@kimberlymiller655]

We had the hunts pudding in the pop top can. I was always scared I was going to cut myself with the lid ❤

[@mtbenintendi2534]

Amy, 1 love the closer look at the tiles Greg, did in your pool. 2. Did you say that theres another verison of the ho ho recipe of your friends?. Thanks for sharing your recipes have watched you for a few year's. Back when lauren and your eldest son lived back at home. I dont comment often as i should i dont know if comments help as well as likes and views. Btw, precooked thing the same way as schools preparing lunches, restaurant's and or your local DELI at the grocery stores. Like for instance our local albertson's does the roasterrie chickens, lets them set under a hot plate , case for 4 hours then pulls them and shredds them freezes and defrosts and sales them. Yes i did foods for many years school jobs and knowledge lol. Your doing amazing love your channel and content . Keep bein you😊. Tori and family

[@pattidavis8043]

Pool, sun & shade & cup of coffee...oh yeah! The cake looks yummy too

[@GemsOfGrace]

I so love your message. God using our everyday, mundane lives for His glory.. what a beautiful truth. I do believe we need to normalize ordinary. We are sold a lie (even in some Christian circles) that the life should be all these spiritual highs, getting up on some big stage, getting your name out there, traveling the world, etc.. for most this just isn’t the case. Watching The Chosen has really brought that to life; the raw & ordinary human side of the disciples. I listened to a message this week about “just showing up”. Consistency in the little things over time can make huge impacts all around us. 🩵

[@amymaryon]

I like this thank you for sharing it

[@lucindasutt7365]

You are a Master at coming up with new ideas, new food recipes.😊

Good Morning Amy 😊 My wish for You and the kids are to have the best day ever ✨🙏✨

[@amymaryon]

Thank you. We did 😁

[@Heavncentt]

I have my own homemade Fried Rice recipe, but I bought the Nasi Goren packets you recommended. We LOVE it! It isn't like traditional asian fried rice, it's kind of a tomato-y base. I usually use 2 packets for 2 cups dry rice. This last time I made it, I added some soy sauce and it was outstanding! I have since stocked up on the Nasi Goren packets thanks to you!

[@amymaryon]

That sounds so good. I am glad you like it

[@lawandawilliams2797]

I think it helps to get the batter smooth with less liquid in the beginning of mixing. At least that is my theory. Love the recipes....TFS

[@MarieEnglish]

Good morning , Today we will get the results of my husband pet scan to see if it has spread or if treatment is working, we have been in a battle with cancer since late 2019 , it has been one after another . Now I’m dealing with foot issues and somedays it’s hard to even put one foot in front of the other . But we are trusting God .

[@beth5863]

When you prep everything in the morning how do you reheat everything? The microwave? I love the idea of getting everything done but I think I’d feel like I was always eating leftovers. Not judging just a thought. 💜

[@debbie7115]

Not only eating leftovers, but eating leftovers that have many times just been sitting on the stove or in the cold oven all day long. From morning until dinner time, not safe at all especially in a hot state like Florida.

[@naomihartman6623]

I agree I hate heating. Meals after I cook in the morning so I don’t do I like cooking at meal time then it’s piping hot fresh

[@cynthiagilbert]

Awe each family is very different in how they prep eat and heat up foods!! ❤

[@Sparkie-Lisa]

I worked in food service for many years. You honestly have no idea how much of the food served was pre-cooked before it went out of the kitchen. Think about it. Once you place your order in a resturaunt , how long is the wait until you are served? 5 minutes? 20? An hour later? Meals are not instantly ready no matter what kind of establishment it is. It's all pre-cooked / prepped in advance. That's why they actually have "prep cooks" employed too.

[@amymaryon]

@Sparkie-Lisa thank you for explaining this

[@alicewhittington5506]

Curiosity got the better me when you were talking about thank you brand pudding, I remember my mom and dad selling it in our excuse me in their grocery store when I was a kid. So I Googled it and evidently Walmart sells it but it's in the great big cans don't know if you'd be interested in that or not you might want to look into it though, bring back all those childhood memories. God bless you

[@amymaryon]

I'll have to see if my Walmart sells it. Thank you

[@teresawilliams662]

I recently watched a KZbin video about lost snacks from the '70s which is the error that I grew up in and they had the pudding in tin cans and the ding dongs we used to get that were wrapped in aluminum foil. They don't have those things anymore, but I remember loving those as a kid

[@mangopilar]

Hostess still sells Ding Dongs, in your local store or convenience store.

[@paulalapoint9885]

​@@mangopilarI think she was meaning they don't have them wrapped in foil anymore like us 60's and 70's generations remember.

[@amymaryon]

I remember them in foil and I was 80s

[@teresawilliams662]

I remember having chocolate pudding in a can when I was a kid.

[@erinb.5103]

Amy, I love how you help so many people in so many different ways, from your older videos where you used to do freezer meals and now you transitioned into not needing them so you do more of homemade things and you still gather your fragments. It’s still helpful to so many people. I still go back and watch some old videos if I need them but I’m like you, my needs have changed so I like it. Sometimes changing is good. Have a wonderful day.

[@loismealy2885]

Great job Steven. Everyone do a great job.

[@annettec3953]

HoHo's are by Hostess. Swiss cake rolls are essentially the same but by Little Debbie.

[@MissKeno18]

Littlle Debbie makes the Swiss cake Rolls that are similar to the Hostess HoHos. DingDongs are the round cakes covered in choclate. 😊

[@naomihartman6623]

U should get a rice cooker best invention ever besides a air fryer

[@mayraacosta4924]

Love your videos, can you put a list of the amish cook books or the blog, thank you!

[@amymaryon]

They aren't online ..only in the local stores :(

[@joyceprice6749]

All the food looks delicious. My family rather have an apple or banana than pudding. Me I rather have banana pudding 😆. I like jello. Amy do you ever make rice pudding ? My mom used to make it for me a lot. I miss it. I have to make it now. I had never eaten jasmine rice until a few months ago and I like it better. It looks like you have settled in well in Florida. I'm very happy for you all. 🌴🌺🌴

[@amymaryon]

I haven't in a long time ..the first set of kids never liked it so i never made it again. Maybe I'll have to .thanks for idea

[@karenharris5141]

If you toast the quinoa in a dry pan, it improves the flavour. I think it was in a Recipe Tin Eats quinoa salad that I saw. Her quinoa salad was yummy! lol

[@amymaryon]

I did see on the package you could...I'll do that. Thank you

[@karenennis6109]

Good morning. I keep forgetting to mention, there are silver windshield shades that do help the heat in the car. It also saves your dashboard. Florida heat is brutal on them and some dashboards crack. I hope it is a wonderful Wednesday and I will see ya tomorrow

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Little Debbie makes the Swiss rolls.

[@Rainbow41_8]

How do you cook your long grain white rice on the stove? Mine always comes out underdone

[@amymaryon]

I bring it to a boil and let him simmer until most of the water is out of it and then turn off and let it absorb the rest of the water...keep the lid on all the time
