You are a wonderful teacher for a person (male) that has never cooked very much. I am retired engineer that is learning to cook. I really appreciate the level of detail you provide regarding things like this. To go from raw ingredients, to a mixture that can be stored, to a prepared outcome is rare online. In addition, the printable recipes (which are easier to obtain than any website I have EVER visited) are invaluable to us novice cooks. Even with the recipes, I typically watch the videos numerous times before attempting a dish. I am just that new and intimidated to cooking and baking. Thank you so much sweet lady.

It’s msg, like in bouillon powder. That’s what you’re loving. Msg comes in many forms, long list of names used instead of monosodium glutamate. They’re *slightly* different but all are msg-like. These are all called excitotoxins. AVOID these excitotoxins. We can learn to love real food again 🙂 Yeast extract, hydrolyzed protein are 2 examples of excitotoxins. These “excite your tongue” while being toxic to the cells in your body.

I like their Bonnets & old Clothing & off grid living, the ones here still have Horse & Buggy, I love it alot. They speak German one part of the service, then agreed to speaking English the rest of the other part of service for Mike & I. Mary Ann & Willis Leid have no well at their new 2 story modern home, they do have Solar for Fans & a Stove they have. They are in their 60's same age as Mike & I, they moved from Pennsylvania, we hear they are Millionaires, they moved out of their old Farm house, 155 Acres, they by Donkey grew Wheat, & had a Produce stand saling Veggies, & fruit, i gave them an old refrigerator out of an old Rv I sold so they could sale Soda Pop, Eggs, & Butter, in exchange for 2 Fruit Trees they never did give me. Sad i still love them all. And I forgive them. Their 14 yr old daughter was struck by Lightning & died not too long ago. Sad. Our other Mennonite friends in their home they have A/C & grow alot of produce they moved from Germany to Guthrie KY they are in their 20's & have 6 kids & plan alot more. They are the ones who speak German in their Church English to us. I really love them all even though we have only known them for a short while. I am learning some German, i use my Google to learn.

I have been doing this for some time but I will now grind my sweetener! I always had some concerns about the fact that usually you add the sugar to the wet ingredients. Thank you I will be incorporating this change into my recipes.♥️👍🙏🇺🇸🤓

[@MarysNest]

Hi Debra, Yes - that was always my concern too! And I noticed that when I tried other make ahead mix recipes, that I would find on the internet, they never turned out the way I had hoped. But what a difference, when using a whole sweetener, to turn it into its powdered form first. It mixes so much better and creates such a better end product. I thought about it for awhile and said...hmmm...cake mixes, etc., that come in the box always look like a very finely mixed powder with no sugar grains. Then my light bulb moment hit me! LOL!! Just turn sucanat or any other whole sweetener into a powdered form...and voila! A great Make Ahead Mix was born!! Love, Mary

[@theehappyhousewife3346]

Mrs. Mary I love your channel. Can the make ahead muffin mix be vacuumed sealed?

[@MarysNest]

Thank you! Glad you like this!! That’s a great question. There are different opinions on this. Some believe you should not vacuum seal or use oxygen absorbers with whole grain flours because of the potential threat of botulism...while others disagree because they say vacuum sealing doesn’t really take out ALL the air. Not sure what their opinion is regarding oxygen absorbers. SO...I’m not sure who is correct. But I no longer vacuum seal whole grain flours and I do not use oxygen absorbers with them either. I would recommend researching this topic to determine with what method you feel comfortable. Love, Mary

Hi Mary ❤️

[@cindyward5133]

Does anyone know if there is a different shelf life for sprouted wholegrain flours?

[@MarysNest]

Hi Cindy, This is a great question! When grains are sprouted it in essence converts the oil in the berries into a less volatile state which in turn makes the sprouted grain less susceptible to rancidity. You will want to store your sprouted grains the same way you store your other grains - preferably in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. When stored properly, sprouted grains will keep many years. Love, Mary (PS - please forgive the delay! I must have missed this comment earlier.)

[@daksmom1999]

Mary, I have a question for you that is off subject. Whole Foods in my city used to have several choices of desiccated beans, like black beans, and a bin of 2-3 beans for refried beans. And, other ingredients were mixed in with the beans, because they had good flavor to them. I’m trying to get away from canned, processed foods, and refried beans are something I use as much as I can. But, I don’t want to keep using the canned refried beans. First of all, can you give me a suggestion on what those 2-3 beans might have been, and what spices to use, to make the beans taste like something more than just beans? To clarify, I want to use dried beans, and make them into as much of a powder as I can, and store them, and I want the spices to be mixed into the bean powder, or desiccated beans.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

They’re putting msg-like ingredients in it to make it that tasty. These are excitotoxins, that act like msg in ur mouth but are toxic. Just grind some beans, try different herbs in them; and use adequate salt, ppl don’t realize how much salt is put in canned or packaged beans! Like, potatoes, beans take a lot of salt. Use quality salt of course. I prefer pinto beans for my refried beans but black good too. The thing with powdered beans is that they are not soaked. Soaking beans and grains is very important. I wouldn’t eat powdered beans very often. Start cooking up pots of beans ahead of time and having on hand to make your dishes. I often make a different type each week. Or I will make up a mix of 1/2 pintos, 1/4 black and 1/4 navy pea beans-those 3 are my favorite and I get the different nutrients found in the 3 different basic bean colors (red, black & white).

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

You can also add kombu fronds (clip them with kitchen shears into your bean pot) to give a natural msg to your beans. Kombu is a seaweed. No fishy smell when you buy it dry in the fronds. No fishy taste, for sure! We love the extra oomph of kombu in dishes! I don’t clip it super small, it’s like eating a cooked greens mixed in your dish. I use about 6” per 2c of dry beans, cut into 6-8 pieces.

@@MarysNest okie dokie.. Thank you.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Muffins with fruit esp, are good with 1/3-1/2c sugar per dozen. Leave off the crumble topping. Don’t skimp on the fat in the recipe! And keep the salt in. Cinnamon and vanilla both help add a sweetness too. Fresh ground flour will knock your muffins (or pancakes or quick breads or even cookies) thru the roof! It’s literally sweeter, not just so incredibly fresh mmmmmmm When you keep the sugar to a minimum, you can eat these for breakfast, no problem. They are not a dessert any longer-in muffin form-but an actual muffin. Corn muffins are a good alternative also. I have a recipe I use only 1/4 wheat flour in, the rest is cornmeal (actually popcorn I grind into flour!-rly tasty!). Smear any breads with butter or cream cheese or eat with cheese! Fat soluble vitamins and minerals need fat to be absorbed 🙂

Interesting that the muffin mix and crumb topping have virtually the same ingredients.

Yes, a crumb topping is basically flour and sugar. As a matter of fact, if you want to make a pie with a crumb topping, you can make a sweet pastry crust and just reserve some of the crumbly dough mixture to use as your pie crumb topping! Love, Mary
