Dear friends, you brighten my days as I watch your videos daily. As a 92 yr old widow, I have canned & dehydrated my own garden crops for years and it has been the hardest thing to give up---so I relive my life of preparing my food through you two and do some dehydrating & just bought myself the instant pot to can a little. This way I am able to preserve things I formally had to discard. I chop onions, peppers and celery for freezer and can take out what I need for a dish I'm preparing. I will dehydrate some now that I have the vacuum sealer & store in my saved reusable jars.do take care and maybe you can one day talk Cindy into helping you. Be sure to let us know when you two release your cookbook. I have some granddaughters who can benefit from such a gift. A tip I found in a pinch was I didn't have the fine mesh for my borrowed dehydrator but did have some extra netting from sewing and cut out liners to hold the chopped veggies that worked just fine. It's easy to hand wash and store. Bibby

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Bibby: Thank you for watching our videos on a daily basis. I think what you are doing to keep active and preserving and canning food is great! Pam and Cindy are still working on the book. Pam will let you know when it is ready this coming spring. Jim

I am canning peaches I picked from my tree yesterday. I have the peels in the dehydrator to make peach powder. I hate food waste so even the peels get used. I love to add peach powder to homemade yogurt or ice cream.

[@jenniferhenrich2852]

Life prepared, can you make a drink from that peach powder?

[@RoseRedHomestead]

That is fantastic. We canned peaches today as well and I have some in my dehydrator and freeze dryer! I don't do the skins because of the fuzz. We will have a peach video out next week.

[@bittehiereinfugen7723]

Since I unfortunately had no one who taught me the really important household skills (or whatever) I had to learn everything myself. I have been developing such important skills as food preservation (as a woman now almost fifty) for a few years now and I am always happy when I meet someone (even if it is only virtually, like here on KZbin) who teaches me a little more. Thanks a million for that! I have the strange feeling that things that we take for granted will no longer be taken for granted for a long time and that I should better keep studying so that I can finally pass this knowledge on to my own children.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

I think your strange feelings are absolutely correct. I think it is great that you are preparing and that you plan to pass the skills on to your children!

I haven’t watched yet, but my tomato powder was so useful. But pulverizing the dried to powder as challenging.

[@redeemedbygrace9236]

@@lilolmecj I broke 2 blenders trying to grind dried tomato paste, then I gave up & just break off a solid chunk for my soups. It dissolves almost instantly. Of course this wouldn't work for these powdered soups.

Oh wow, I've not thought of making veggie powders. This is a game changer in emergency preparedness!! Thank you.🥀

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thank you for your comments.

[@lilolmecj]

I didn’t really make it for emergency preparedness, but I made tomato powder. I had a lot of tomatoes that I did not particularly care for, they were kind of bitter. But I had lots, so I tried drying them out of curiosity, and hoping it would improve them. The drying definitely brought out more sweetness, but then I wasn’t quite sure what to do with. On a whim I pulverized them in my food processor, btw, it did not really like the job, but that was the best thing I ever stumbled onto. It made such a good stir in for just about anything. The big pile of tomatoes only made a pint of powder, but even a teaspoon was enough. I haven’t powdered anything else but it occurs to me that the mustard I pulled out last week would probably have been easy to dry and very flavorful. It had all gone to seed, time to plant some more.💕

@@otterssilver7299 one thing about traditional dryer tomato powder is that it never really feels dry due to the sugars. I keep the jar I am using in the fridge, and my second jar in the freezer. It takes a lot of tomatoes to make a little powder, but a little goes a long way.

[@Alimaythedreamer]

I love this, I was thinking at the end with you big jar that you wanted to put those little containers in. I thought oh but what if the lid pops off. Which made me think, you can vac-seal the soup mix into a bag, sealing down the bag as far as possible leaving a large pouch at the top, and then add the required bone broth, and seal it again. So that your bone broth isn’t mixed into the soup cause you said that wasn’t good for storage. And then you can pull out a twin sealed bag/pouch of soup and cut that into your boiling water. It’s air tight sealed, and portion controlled for when ever you wanted. You can take that to your work and keep that giant jar of random soups, knowing it’s stored safely to your food safety protocols. I love all these tips you share, and I though you might enjoy this as an addition. Thanks for all the vids you post, don’t stop sharing. 😊

Salmon loaf, on top of my fish fillets, on top of my steaks, I use some in my taco meat, pasta sauce. And on and on. I call this my “Healthy Hacks”

I absolutely love this! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas!

[@lechatbotte.]

We appreciate you!! Thank you as always.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

You are so welcome!

[@mackenziesbees]

I'm just getting started with powders and have asked, "Now what?". You have such great ideas and explain everything so well, including my questions of how to store them properly. I'm excited! Thank you!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

You are so welcome! Jim

[@jennifersinclair6044]

Such a fabulous idea! I was also thinking how amazing this would be for people like myself with limited space. The amount of foods, meals, etc... that could be stored in a small space, would be mind boggling. Especially if those mylar bags are use too. My imagination is going crazy! Lol!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

That is wonderful--just let your creativity go wild! So glad the video was useful for you.

Watching the broccoli Cheddar soup was like watching Jesus with the loaves and fishes, but in reverse. 1/4 cup + 1/3 cup + 1/4 cup + 1T + 1/3 cup + spices all in a 1 cup jar. Blew my mind. Definitely gonna try it though (but I'll use a bigger jar, lol).

[@MamaT1525]

These soups look awesome. Thank you for sharing the recipes. You mentioned vacuum sealing for storage, and I am wondering if vegetable powder is more dense than flour, which is difficult to vacuum seal? I would think that the gift soups should be vacuum sealed, especially if they’re made ahead of time.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

After the video I vacuum sealed every on of them without a problem. Sometimes I will slip a circle I have cut from a coffee filter on top of the powder before I vacuum seal and that works like a charm. It would work for flour as well.

[@tinaproctor63]

I also add a coffee filter over powders I'm going to vacumm seal except I don't cut out a circle instead I fold all creases around the edges of the coffee filter inward (like a flower closeing) and lay the coffee filter over top of the powder in the jar and then vaccum seal it.

[@redeemedbygrace9236]

Can you just drop an oxygen absorber into your jars for the powders?

[@KatMa664]

Great video I also got your book on dehydrating and powdered meals.

[@Ladythyme]

This was great… thank you! I heard you say you used freeze dried cheese powder. Can cheese be dehydrated? If so, is it as simple as laying shredded cheese on the trays or is there a special process to do so?

[@RoseRedHomestead]

I have had several people ask that question. I have never done it and I am not sure it would work. Seems to me it would just melt and make a mess. You can buy good quality cheese powder. I am doing a bit of research to see what I can find out. I might try a test run. When I know something solid I will post a video.

[@Ladythyme]

@@RoseRedHomestead Thank you! I’ll have to look into more it as well… thanks so much for doing your videos… they help so much!

@@RoseRedHomestead I have freeze dried mozzarella cheese. So that is an option for those who have freeze dryers

[@jonfrancis2777]

@@RoseRedHomestead I buy the 2-1/2 lbs. Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Cheese blocks from Sams. Then, I hand shred them. My (large) Harvest Right allows me to freeze dry one block per tray. So, I can do 12-1/2 lbs. per batch. They freeze dry perfectly due to the large amount of surface area because of the shredding. Finally, I powderize the cheese in the blender. Works perfectly.

[@marthe1955]

thank you so very much. Cannot even begin to tell you how much I have learned from you over fast few years. You are a godsend to myself and many others.

[@Mirkwoodsqueen]

These would be great to use with my Vacuum sealer. I could vacuum seal packets to store and have them lay flat. Less space used. (I have small kitchen with no storage. ) Do you have your recipes in PDF format?

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Great idea. The recipes are below the video description and you can copy and paste them into Word and then save them as PDFs if you like.

[@shirleychambers2558]

I have a hard time getting enough veg. In my food this will help great.y. I just found your videos and they inspire me. I have a dehydrator and this gives me new info of what I can do with it thank you so much.

I have a question: Are milk solids the same as powdered milk?

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Yes--it is what is left after all the water in the milk is evaporated out.

[@Kargarbo]

What about using freeze dried milk?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!💕! Could you share your recipes for the other two soups in this video? Have a blessed day!

I can't wait to try some of these soups. To me soup is the perfect food. I have always loved it.

[@wtillett243]

I make a brocolli bisque which is similar in ingredients except they are fresh instead of powdered. Love the idea but I don’t have a dehydrator or freeze dryer. May I say, while I love many you tube channels, yours brings in that touch of professionalism and expertise so lacking in others. Thank you for sharing.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

W: Thanks for the very kind comparison ("touch of professionalism and expertise." Jim

[@gammy2Ateam]

Thank you so much for all your hard work and for sharing your wisdom! You do a very professional job with the videos and your voice is so comforting and easy to follow. I tried two of your recipes today; Asparagus and Tomato soups. My daughter loves asparagus, as I used to, but for some reason, I can no longer tolerate it, so the tomato soup was better for me. We enjoyed the soups and had fun experimenting with different powders and seasonings to find what works best for us. This brings us a greater sense of food security for this round of covid and flu season on fixed incomes and allows us to have that peace of mind that if the electricity goes out or if we get sick, we can still get a nutritional meal with the food powders and a little hot water. And the storage space needed is miniscule compared to all those cans taking up space. I'm so glad we found you!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thanks, it is great that you using them and mixing them to your taste.

[@sherry-martinbuehler6035]

Thank you for instruction to go one step further with drying. I use inverted cupcake papers to cover when using sealer.

[@glydial]

Thank you again for a wonderful presentation. My brain is swimming with ideas. My only problem is that I love binge watching so much that I don't get other much needed work done. Hopefully the ideas I glean from you will pay off so much that no one will notice my neglected housework. Haha

[@kenrobinson8060]

[@laurieincali2461]

You are Fabulous! Love your channel. 🥰

[@albaalba4437]

I have discovered your videos not more than a week ago and they're very helpful and inspiring. How I wish i can buy a dehydrator. I think these powdered veggies are great for mixing with scrambled eggs or breads and home-made pasta, it will make a good meal for picky kids. Soups like these are also great for patients who are tube-fed.

[@sassyherbgardener7154]

You can use your oven, or even the sun, to dehydrate.
