I get a 404 code on links to these recipes. Is the website having issues?

[@BusDriverShirley]

Link isn’t working. Had to go to website Jara.

[@robinhart1390]

Your link is bad. Can you fix it?

[@ultramagapatriot5874]

I think this is one of my favorite videos!! So tired of buying those single use packets!! They are getting expensive like everything else! Thank you Jara!! Total Respect!!

[@wickedprepared]

Same here!! Thank you for watching!!!

[@lenoraw1098]

I’m so happy that more people are moving from store bought because of the “other chemicals”. Great job Jara! 🤩

[@freezedriedfoodie]

It's funny, my video for today is a copycat Espagnole sauce mix because I've got subscribers who can't get Thrive products in their country 😂 Another fantastic video, Jara. You continue to inspire us all with your creativity and hard work. Christmas blessings to you and your family!❤

[@BusDriverShirley]

I’m going to go check out your videos.

Thanks Jara!

[@katievdbshsh757]

Thank you these recipes will help me alot. I'm excited to start making my own mix now. Bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon

[@uniquelymike]

I can't wait for single serving meals in a jar.

[@beautifulfoodgardeningchan4330]

I too have considered reducing amounts to a single serve. But then. Left overs are nice to have sometimes.

[@ultramagapatriot5874]

All you have to do is divide the recipes in half or less depending on how many servings they feed!!😊😊

[@Texasgirl10Growing]

And I have to make 2 quart jars per meal for my family. 😂

[@lynnheffron6905]

​@@Texasgirl10Growing😮😄

[@lavonnethompson4355]

Just found your channel and I love these homemade sauces and I can’t wait to get my order in from Thrive

[@zoez.8353]

🇫🇷.... Thanks. VERY USEFUL INFO. 💰 😁💰 💖

[@ArmyNurse1776]

Great, I looked at my food storage and I found all three sauces that I bought in 2019.

[@JoyfullyOrangeDeborah]

Thanks for the basic recipes! I'm not in a position to buy all the sauce mixes in bulk from Thrive and I hate all the ingredients in the cheap packets. This video is great Jara! Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!

[@constancebeck2992]

I'd love for you to show how to make the tomato sauce mix

[@wickedprepared]

Coming soon!

[@JanineMJoi]

The ONE TIME im happy Google listens in when we talk is finding these recipes. That bechamel is now going to be my "cream of" recipe.

[@audreynanapreps2543]

I use freeze dried coffee in my beef gray mix.

[@wickedprepared]

Oooooh that is interesting! How did I miss this comment...I may have to try that!

[@saundrawaugh1979]

Thanks Jara!! Wonderful!!

[@wickedprepared]

[@tinashaver2373]

You’re welcome 😊

[@sheriebreazeale6828]

🇫🇷 Love your videos, thank you ☺️

[@wickedprepared]

You are so welcome!

[@victoriafesmire3366]

🇫🇷 thank you

[@marystanley6862]

Usually, poultry gravy has sage maybe that's why it does quite match the other

[@cheffamy]

On the beef gravy I would use potato starch instead of the corn starch and add homemade mushroom powder, onion powder, celery powder and carrot powder

[@wickedprepared]

It's definitely very customizable 😊 I was just copying the Thrive beef gravy flavor, that way it can be used as a direct substitute in my meal in a jar recipes

[@MaggieBerry004]

🇫🇷 Perfect for when I run out of my Thrive Life Sauces!

[@wickedprepared]

Absolutely!

[@sheilabrennan5543]

Make these great Christmas gifts

[@jbell2910]

This is the best I can do french flag. Thank you

[@djm0701]

I certainly appreciate copycat sauce recipes. Especially being able to use quantities I want without rolling up envelopes I didn't use up!

[@wickedprepared]

Yes!! This. I hate those partial packets!

[@ruthfreeman864]

Ffor gravey to help flavor you could use chicken or beef broth to enhance flavors

[@susieramick7202]

🇨🇵 Very informative. Waiting to watch meals in a jar or bag using your mixed. The small jars would be wonderful tucked in a gift basket. Would the tomato gravy mix with taco seasoning added make a taco or enchilada sauce??? Enjoy and learn a lot from you. Thanks.

[@pbshepherding47]

Thanks for helping us I’m trying at 77, but I get frustated

[@barbaraherron-mangel1116]

QUESTION: Where do you get dried butter and dried heavy cream?

[@rikiray3370]

🇫🇷 from Nevada USA. 😂

[@babsgilbert518]

Thanks Jara, I love copycat recipes. I have to be careful with prepackaged products due to allergies. Your meals in a jar are awesome and I want to make them all. 🇫🇷

[@wickedprepared]

I'm so glad you like them! ❤️ That's one of the great things with the meals... you know exactly what's going in to them! 😊😊😊

[@LoveMyCoffee10]

I prefer corn starch to thicken sauces

[@gailheyer9810]

Can you use arrow root powder instead of corn starch

[@sharonnm6799]

🇫🇷 nice video

[@beautifulfoodgardeningchan4330]

Would that induction burner be able to power on a solar battery without causing the solar batter to shut down?

[@wickedprepared]

Absolutely! In fact, I used my Bluetti to power the cooktop in this video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/emTchoOgbaZ4Z9Usi=-GCMfvO_ldf61-vR It worked great!!!

[@suegibney8254]

Where does one find butter powder and heavy cream powder?

[@celestemariearcher6579]

🏁couldn't match your flag :( but this one says I made it to the finish :) Thank you for the video. What sets you apart from everyone else is when you prepare the ingredients and then actually prepare something using them.

[@alynn.art.studio]

Just a pointer you are missing the sage.

[@annefromthetwincitiesmn8847]

Is using cornstarch ok for people with corn sensitivity?

[@lisal.766]

I would love to see more meals in a bag without Thrive-life freeze dried items.... just the basic shelf stable store bought items. You used to show more of them when I first started watching your vids and I loved many of them!

[@wickedprepared]

I have a lot more of those planned and coming soon so stay tuned! ❤️

[@Taking_Back_Thyme]

Can you use arrow root in place of cornstarch?

[@wickedprepared]

I haven't tried it but I understand it's a 1:1 substitute so I don't see why you couldn't.

[@maggiepennington5583]

Where did you find the measuring spoons at?

[@RxHolisticNurseKathleen]

🇫🇷 when I'm baking I always run my flour through a wireless strainer or anything that like. and whatever I'm baking always turns out better just the fluffiness of it and I don't know I just like it better 🐝🐝🐝 Like your glass jars so looked online at Amazon and actually found three for about $10 less and they already have the label to write on them. Not sure if you had to add the label but for anyone who might be on a budget it's $10 less. I'll try to add a picture here. won't let me, but here's the description 😉 Flrolove 74 oz/2200ml Glass Storage Jars with Airtight Lids,Pantry Storage Containers with Lids Airtight,Square Large Food Storage Containers Set of 3,Perfect for Kitchen Canning Cereal/Pasta/Sugar

[@wickedprepared]

Absolutely! It definitely makes a difference 😊😊

[@RxHolisticNurseKathleen]

@@wickedprepared just added a description. I found the glass jars with the seal and everything on like the ones you had. They were about $10 less so I went ahead I couldn't find a way to post the picture on Amazon so I just post the description but that would save someone $10 and they already have the labels that you can write on.

[@mpat23]

What was it that your grandmother msde with the white sauce with salmon? That sounds interesting make! Recipe please 😊

[@wickedprepared]

She called it salmon pea wiggle...she just added canned salmon and peas to a white sauce, seasoned with salt and pepper and we ate it over toast. I always loved it! She used salmon that my grampa caught in Alaska and she canned up and brought home, so it was probably a little bit better than store bought canned salmon!

[@mpat23]

@wickedprepared great. I will try it. We love salmon, and the more recipes I can find, the happier my family will be. I use the white sauce with chicken but didn't think to use salmon. Thank you😍

[@MomCheeto4]

How much water is being added to the "small" batch recipes?

[@jodyvansleeuwen5123]

Hi Jara, could you turn the bechamel sauce into a garlic sauce? What would you recommend adding or changing?

[@Ms.Punkin]

😊

[@JanetJohnson-ob5ew]

I’d like to know if you put oxygen absorbers in the jars you put these sauce mixes in. Or if you vacuum seal them? I’m new to all of this, but now have the ingts and jars!

[@JanineMJoi]

Try adding maybe 1 T of the tomato chkn bullion to the chicken gravy. Or just tom powder. I think you will find the missing flavor

[@wickedprepared]

That's a great idea! I'll have to try that 😊😊😊

[@Gracie40]

Is the corn starch just regular corn starch off the grocery store shelf?

[@wickedprepared]

Yes 😊

[@dawntearle7862]

Maybe the carrot powder adds some sweetness

[@donnarodriguez4755]

🇨🇵 Question: What would you use as a substitute for corn starch? (My family has several members highly allergic to soy and corn.)

[@wickedprepared]

I would try arrowroot powder or potato starch.

[@velmahopkins8070]

Where do you get the butter powder…and the heavy cream powder…? Thank you…

[@cheffamy]

For the chicken gravy you’re missing the browning seasoning. When you cook chicken in a pan the brown bits are called “fond”. You might capture this in kitchen bouquet? I have never used it before. Also a tiny bit of sugar because the natural sugars are what cause the browning. If you cook your mix in a pan like a roux, brown it up a bit you may get the flavor you want and the color. Try it

[@wickedprepared]

You could definitely add something like that if you wanted. I was sticking with just shelf stable powdered ingredients and copying the Thrive flavors. I got close on the veloute with what I had to work with and I'm definitely happy with with the flavor. I expiremented with some sugar and some carrot powder while I was testing and I wasn't happy with the result. But the flavor and the ingredients are what is most important to me in this situation, that way it can be used as a substitute in my meal in a jar recipes 😊

[@ebar3552]

You are so right…on the back of say McCormicks low sodium package mix it says the add some soy sauce. I’m going to try adding soy sauce powder and or Worcestershire powder… umami flavor is what’s missing.

[@caseycibula1979]

I think I will try the bechamel sauce. I can see myself using it. 🏴‍☠ (I couldn't find a french flag)

[@LoraCrumrine-y1l]

Is there a printable on these recipes?

[@wickedprepared]

The recipes are now up! Here is the link to all of our printable recipes. These 3 newest ones are all the way at the bottom sites.google.com/wickedprepared.com/wickedprepared/printables-recipes?authuser=0

[@kellyburns1484]

Where do u get yr freeze dried foods , herbs and spices

[@wickedprepared]

I get all my freeze dried foods from Thrive Life. wickedprepared.thrivelife.com/shop Herbs and spices I get from a variety of different places. If there are some specific ones you're wondering about, let me know what they are and I can send you links. Or you can check the description box below each video and I try to list all my sources for that specific video down there.

[@1994abbygirl]

Don't add the salt and pepper and you can make chocolate pudding by adding sugar and cocoa!

[@wickedprepared]

Great idea 😊
