I too am working through my pantry and freezer making room for the next growing season. I always tell my daughters to shop their pantry before going to the store. There’s always something to make! I find myself still canning though. Broth from chicken and beef bones for my pantry shelves. I also make a lot of quick breads. Recently I have been making a pumpkin bread recipe but substituting fig butter in the place of pumpkin. It is so delicious! Your meals look so delicious and I love the peaceful,calming videos you present us. Have a blessed week!

[@JulieKeeperofMyHome]

Thank you, Adrienne! You are so right! There is ALWAYS something to make! We continue to make bone broths as well. Some things are just a normal constant when it comes to canning, right? 😊 The fig butter sounds amazing! I've never heard of it. Blessings to you!

[@kakelinga]

I just love your videos and the coziness of your home. It's such a peaceful looking home. I am curious as to how that pasta dish got the name chop suey? I guess I have been born and raised in Hawaii and we have so many different cultures and cuisine here. In Hawaii, chop suey is an Asian dish with meats and veggies, and sometimes eggs, stir fried with Asian seasonings. I was surprised to find out that other parts of the country have their own versions of chop suey. It looks so comforting and the kind of food you want to eat on a cold night.

[@JulieKeeperofMyHome]

Thank you! I'm not sure how it got its name either, although Google would probably know. 🤔 The chop suey is SO GOOD! We had it the next day for lunch, and on the next day, we pan-fried it with a side of toasted homemade bread covered in homemade butter. 😃

[@janeburns6405]

The chop suey I was raised on and still make is beef and pork cubes, dredged in flour. Browed, add water. Cook til tender, add canned chop diet vegetables served over rice with dried noodles on top. Funny how depending where you what something is called. Interesting

I love seeing simple things, like the pampered chef measuring thing that I also have, making me feel connected to you. Have a blessed day

I didn't have enough bananas to make banana bread one day so I added some homemade 🍓 jam. It was very yummy. Strawberry/ banana bread I made it into muffins.

This sounds delicious!

Oh, gosh. Surely, lodge would have one. We bought ours at an antique store a few years ago. My husband says we paid $40. It has a big lid, too! It's definitely one of our favorite pieces.

[@jenniferdemassimo3012]

I love your videos with the cook stove. Is it hard to figure out the time for baking things? Does the temperature change much? Less wood or just coals when baking? I would love an informative video on how you use it! I love open fire,hearth and cook stove cooking.Also the meal and banana bread looked so good.😋

[@JulieKeeperofMyHome]

Thank you, Jennifer! The bake time is probably the hardest part of cooking in the cook stove. The temperature does fluctuate, so we have to constantly monitor the fire in order to get a somewhat consistent bake time. More wood is best because you want the temperature high enough to bake. Although I have found that keeping the temperature down about 25* lower that what the recipe calls for is best. Of course, I do have to rotate whatever is in the oven, as well. So many variables. My husband and I will definitely add your request to our list! 😊

[@jenniferdemassimo3012]

@@JulieKeeperofMyHome Thank you Julie!

[@BlessingsfromNorthIdaho]

We just bought a wood cook stove to replace our regular wood stove. I’m a bit intimidated about cooking on it. So far I’ve baked a batch of cookies that were a bit overcooked. Today I did a easy beef barley soup on top. I would love a video on how to use my modern wood cook stove. Our came out of Kentucky too but I don’t know if from the same company. Ours isn’t as big as yours but we have a small living quarters on the end of our shop. TeresaSue.

We always added Campbell's tomato soup to our chop suey growing up. I loved it. Good memories.

[@JulieKeeperofMyHome]

My husband's normal recipe calls for tomato soup, which is the recipe we usually make. My mom always used canned tomatoes, so every now and then, we make it without the soup. The memories of eating the same foods we ate growing up warm the soul. ❤

Always an inspiration. May be a silly question, but where can I find a canning jar seal opener, (not sure what the technical term is)? I must be searching online for the wrong thing. Always a joy to watch.

[@JulieKeeperofMyHome]

Thank you for asking! We save pan drippings from roasts, baked chicken, or similar dishes. I like to jar the drippings up and store them in the freezer to use in soups, stews, or other dishes that need flavoring. I don't process these jars in a canner. I just like using the jars, as they are most convenient for me. You just need to be sure to leave a couple of inches of head space, as the contents will expand as it freezes. We also have some cans of lemonade and pina colada for a summer refresher or smoothie. Thank you for stopping by! 😊

[@shapienails3067]

@@JulieKeeperofMyHome Thanks for explaining - I completely forgot about juice concentrate coming in can's. Living alone I sometimes have a small number of drippings and actually feel bad about tossing them. Never thought to bottle it up or even use a freezer bag. You've changed my life with that useful information. 😁

[@JulieKeeperofMyHome]

I love it when someone learns something new! If you don't have a lot of drippings, you can always use an ice cube tray to collect and freeze them. Once frozen, just add them to a jar or ziploc and store them in the freezer until you need it!

My aunt used to cover her crisco and see you do it, is this to retain moisture? Looks like parchment paper. Thanks

[@JulieKeeperofMyHome]

Hello there! I like to keep a snack size baggie in my crisco can, but not to keep it covered. I'm just storing it in there until next time I need to grease a pan. Maybe that's what your mom was doing, as well? I should also mention that my crisco can is filled with lard, not shortening. I stopped buying crisco a few years ago but kept my last can for convenient storage. We render pork fat into lard and use that now. It's much healthier. I should have mentioned that, probably.
