My 98 year old mother in law has dementia. I try to call her every day and tell her what I am doing. I told her I cleared my garden and we had "stabbed" potatoes for supper. She knew what i meant! She said you weren't very careful with the pitch fork when you were digging! I loved that she was right.

[@marylamphere2112]

That is a beautiful moment you have with her!

[@kelseyfifer6069]

This gave me a knot in my throat, I know your pain. It’s more painful for loved ones than for the person with the disease. I’m sending you love ❤

[@user-mo2it7il4t]

Oh my dear I LOVE you and watching everything you and your family do! I am 78 years old, and I wanted a farm girl life since I was a teenager! I was married to a dear man for 54 years who needed to be closer to his work than my farm would allow. Finally sold the farm and gave up on my dream. Always had wee garden spots and also large pots. I have had a wonderful life and 2 beautiful children, I am alone now, I believe God gave me what He knew I could manage❣️ To you and your family…..♥️

[@reneenewfrock5743]

LOVE seeing the baby in the garden dirt! Already connected to the soil that is life. Too many people miss out on that connection.

[@Mariaabroad]

Love this idea!!! You can also make a light roux with some butter and flour (I make them in batches and freeze in an ice cube tray) and then when you want to eat, add a cube or two to a pot, let it melt, dump the chicken and gravy on top and it will thicken nicely. That way, you don't have the raw flour taste.

[@taxat10n1sth3ft]

Do you mean, can it that way? With the roux on the bottom?

[@Mariaabroad]

@@taxat10n1sth3ft no, I make a roux with butter and flour and either milk or broth. Then I freeze it in ice cube trays and anytime I need to thicken something, I just throw a cube or two in to make a gravy.

[@taxat10n1sth3ft]

@@Mariaabroad that's really smart! Thanks for explaining... I'm going to start doing this too !

[@cheryladamson3276]

Why do you need to add an acid? Just trying to learn...

[@taxat10n1sth3ft]

@@cheryladamson3276 I would love to know, also! I know it's important for canning but the "why" will help me understand and then will be less afraid of canning! I think it has something to do with preserving the food safety

Lol set that baby down in the dirt. City folk be freekin out now. I love it

I used my quart jar to make chicken curry! I put a quart into a pan and started it heating up as I added: 2 T curry paste 1 can coconut milk 1 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp sugar 2/3 cup egg noodles. It was delicious!!

[@HomesteadingFamily]

Sounds great!

[@gailcroslin1647]

We call that little jar of gold, chicken stew, and it a favorite on our shelves. Beautiful garden, by the way. We just retired, and we're building a little house on our daughter's property. Hopefully, a garden will go in soon. My soul is screaming for some self-sufficiency!

[@Boots-qu4cj]

I have made this as well and it makes an amazing pot pie in addition to the recipes that you have mentioned. I also love the ease of coming home from work and whipping up a quick nutritious dinner in no time at all.

[@HomesteadingFamily]

Wonderful!

[@vancouvervixen4253]

I haven’t made pot pie in forever… that’s changing this week!! 🎉

[@mississippiapple1078]

The most comforting video ever

[@cowsal77]

That is fantastic! You could add corn, peas, green beans, shredded cheese and sour cream after thickening and make casserole or thicken then dump into pie crust for chicken pot pie. Bravo!!

[@darnellprunka7130]

Thank you so much! You have completely inspired me. I’m making this tomorrow. I’ve been so intimidated by my pressure canner, but as I said, you inspired me and I am making this tomorrow, so thank you again for your wonderful videos.

[@HomesteadingFamily]

Wonderful!

[@stephaniejohnson3739]

I bought a Breville from your recommendations on another blog and I have to tell you it is such an amazing game changer!!! We also homestead and pulled in about 215 lbs of potatoes this year. It peeled and diced the potatoes in no time. Also onions and apples etc. That machine is a life saver!! Pricey but worth it!

[@HomesteadingFamily]

Great to hear!

[@redTtop]

I’m so glad you use the Ball canning book. I worry that new canners don’t follow safe ways to can. I always buy a new ball canning book when canning.

Thanks, Carolyn, for this 'taste' of what you teach us. There is so much more on your Homesteading Family website. I am so grateful to have a life membership. The recipes, the teaching, the policies, following FDA guidelines; it's worth every penny and more. Glad I joined. Now I can watch you on YT & get clips of a few more recipes for what you teach on your website is so much more than what YT can provide.

This is on my list of meal preps for the coming weekend..just did 12 qts of beef stew! And previously did 9 pints of a boston butt. Thanks for this video!!

Just canned this yesterday but saved some for dinner today. I can't wait to try it.

[@sheilaMagilicudy]

Just came across your channel. I am a pressure canner gal. Looking for deals on meats and veggies and get them asap in my pantry. I am looking forward to canning this recipe. I always change it from the books too. My husband and I are garlic FREEKS seriously I grew it at one time but never had enough lol lol Will try this recipe forsure. I just did 14 quarts of chicken pot pie. So this one is right up my ally. I keep bacon fat in my fridge at all times. I brown my stew meat etc... Now I put in my baking powder biscuits. S making some baking powder biscuit with your recipe is going to be just devine. ! Sorry folks who are grossed out by this but my mama always did this. We were hmmm very poor. Mama raised us 6 kids on her own and we never never went hungry. We utilized everything!! So appreciate your channel and look forward to viewing more recipes. Cheers Vancouver Canada

[@lmr45241]

I've never considered canning anything other than fruit so I love learning about the savory things you're doing. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to trying these! Blessings to you and your family.

[@SallyGreimes]

You will enjoy having all those on hand when you want a quick meal. Soups, stews, spaghetti sauce, meatloaf, etc are so handy.

[@Hisgal04]

Carolyn, I just finished my batch of this and will be using one of the jars for dinner tonight. Watching your videos has changed my home life for the better! I'm feeling so much more confident pressure canning and making some space in my freezer (which is very full) ❤ I also just got my "All new Ball book of canning" and will pull some recipes from there as well! Huge thank you from Tennessee! God bless you and keep you and may His face shine upon you!
