Getting Alaskan Homestead Supplies shipped from Azure | $300 Shipping To Alaska $1500

I ordered the 60 pound bag. I broke it down into quart Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. When I open a bag I keep it in my freezer and use as needed. I have gone through 3 quart bags in a year. I purchased the bag from bargain bin because it had just expired. No difference in taste. Love having it on hand!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Nice I even reuse my Mylar as long as it’s the same item going in it like beans or rice.

[@michelledavis7333]

if you can afford it, you might want to invest in a freeze dryer. A channel I like to watch is called living simply in Alaska. They have a huge green house and a garden. You just have to know what zone you live in to know what plants will grow in your area. Becky from the channel acre homestead also freeze dries milk, beef and chicken broth which makes them into powder form.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you for the information. I want a freeze dryer when I can afford it. Simple living paladins and I are not in the same zone but they are still such an amazing channel and lots to learn or just simply enjoy from them. I love Becky also. She does lots of interesting things I agree.

Look into cherries, it helped my husband a lot with his gout. We start him on cherry Greek yogurt if he starts to have a flare up

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Ok great if you see any of my new videos I just canned 38 jars of cherries in just water for him. It’s just great having others around with ideas. Now I’m looking to see if the yogurt part will help him. Thank you.

[@mistygoodson4025]

Yogurt is low in Uric acid, and makes a great breakfast alternative. (I’m an RN so I research like crazy) Yogurt is a great medium to get cherries in him.

Jessica, I absolutely appreciate how you explain your process with your buys. Obviously you have been doing this for a while. At SIXTY I have ran my own kitchen for quite a while, but since I've been working on "preparedness"...I am looking at my pantry differently: working, long-term, It's so helpful to WATCH someone who KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOINF, DO IT!🤠 And, you do an AWESOME JOB! 👌 I truly appreciate your hard work.

I buy yellow cheddar powder at an Amish store near me. I store in my freezer in a canning jar. Recipe I came up with to use it…. For roast or air fry cauliflower…. Cut in chunks or slice head into 1/2” slice, drizzle with butter or olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder. Roast 400 for 15 -20 mins. Take out and turn pieces. Sprinkle well with cheese powder. Return to oven until done to your liking … from 10-30 more minutes. This is really good.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh wow roasted cauliflower is one of my favorite side dishes. I never would have thought of this. Thank you for sharing.

You can make cheap and easy buttermilk with vinegar and milk. I just google the recipe. It's a game changer!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Totally true I do that lots of the time. I do also like this stuff I don’t always have milk.

[@nancydoty4069]

buttermilk powder instead of dry milk in scalloped potatoes. Probably in most other recipes calling for milk powder.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Nice do you like Pinterest or where do you often see recipes call for milk powder? I’m super new to it.

[@nancydoty4069]

@@modernhomesteadalaska More likely old recipes. Way back to the 50 and 60s when dried milk was very cheap. But, recipes calling for milk can be adapted to dry by adjusting the other liquids. My favorite is an old sweet roll recipe.

Hi Jess... My name Jess too. Fuel and shipping up everywhere, but Azure by far has the best prices on their items. Most places have grains, for example, twice price plus insane shipping. Plus I know Azure grain is great quality and "clean". I buy many more items from them, but the weight of the grains and beans is what really adds to shipping costs. Getting my next delivery Sunday. I am always excited to get it, LoL 😜 Great video. I love your sparkling personality 🤗

Wow sparkling that is so sweet of you to say. Thank you! I love Azure. It’s a hard adjustment from free shipping in the lower states. But I love the quality.

My husband has problem eating beans, he had a hard time digesting them! Adzuki beans, Lentils and Ansazi beans are easier to digest and he could eat them! They give you less gas! They can be cooked like red kidney beans and taste similar!

I use the Buttermilk powder for recipes that need buttermilk as well as making my own buttermilk ranch dressing mix.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh good idea. I should do that.

[@homesteadbythehighway8548]

😊 thank you for sharing. I love your channel and glad you asked about the buttermilk. I bought a bag bigger than we need and was trying to figure out how to best store it. I love that you sort your order. Don’t get me wrong Christmas style is fun but sometimes I am trying to take notes😉

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Great idea.

[@Lilmissbaker3173]

I use buttermilk powder in my sourdough items, bread, biscuits, English muffins etc.. I just sift/mix it into the flour mix before I add any liquids. I purchase it in bulk and separate it into lunch paper bags then into a vacuum seal bag then mylar bag. You don’t have to store it this way however it just works for me, I store a cup of powder in each bag. I have buttermilk powder that has expired 6 months ago but it is perfectly good, I have never had any go rancid when I store it this way.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Such great information. You just made me go wait that is the answer! The paper bag would help keep a bit of moisture away that makes it clump! Thank you for sharing!

Different recipes for butter milk using regular milk and vinegar or lemon juice.I use vinegar and its the same as buttermilk.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Yeah I knew that trick. I truly like buttermilk better and was hoping for an alternative when we don’t have milk in the house. Thank you for the reminder

[@joannathesinger770]

You pronounced it right...adzuki. You can also sprout them, as well. They are very versatile and I have some in my storage. Being a child of the south, and parents that lived through the Great Depression...we had pinto beans a lot, but that is not the only type. My dad enjoys butter beans, a type of lima bean, and in the south, there are a BUNCH of peas...Crowder, purple hull, cream, black-eyed...and more. If you can get ahold of some, my absolute favorite bean is Anazazi bean that is native to the Four Corners area. My aunt discovered them while driving through to visit her son when he was stationed in Alaska, so the whole family loves them. I try to pick up some as I go through there going to and from home (Texas). I have to correct you on the grits part. Grits are made by first treating the corn in a lye solution to make what is called hominy, then dehydrating it, and grinding it once it is dry. Very near where I get the Anazazi beans, in Cortez, Colorado, they have a grain mill where you can buy purple corn meal, and it's fantastic!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh good thank you. I’ll be on the lookout. I will do more research I had looked up grinding the corn for months and was sure I knew. But back to the drawing board. It’s funny I have dry hominy on my Amazon list! Growing up in Texas and Missouri it’s a staple there. And can’t find it up here. I could see if they have a Mexican store around that would have it. (We don’t eat a lot of grits) but I do like cornbread and other corn stuff.

Bok choy is very good for that too not having soy is good as well unless it's organic nothing GMO try to stay away from the night vegetables stay away from gluten. Now quinoa my sister made me a chocolate cake out of that you have to pulverize it. It was pretty good I couldn't really tell the difference there's a little bit of a texture difference but other than that it was good. But they say bok choy is very good for issues with gout. And low protein.

Does the blue corn make blue cornbread? That might seem a silly question, but I've seen blue corn crisps for nachos that are actually that dark blue/purple colour.

I keep powdered butter milk in a glass jar in the fridge. It has not gone bad as yet and it is over a yr and half. The natural pantry in Anchorage has gamma lids for sure regular lids. Call them and see if they have the gamma lids and if not when they will have them in stock. I seen gamma lids at Home Depot crazy they don't have them. Just checked Amazon has them in stock 10.03 a piece and in 14 different colors says they will be delivered before April 26 but you can get faster delivery. For grinding grains I use a attachment for my KitchenAid but you must have a professional because grinding grains or meat will cause the motor to heat up and burn it out, the professional will shut off before any damage happens to the motor. I looked at other grinding units some are pretty nice but I had the KitchenAid already and I just couldn't add another machine when the KitchenAid can do the job.

I have tried 4 times to get the raspberries and will continue to keep trying because you can’t get them anywhere around me. Even with the problems they are still worth it for me.
