Large Family Homestead Pantry Meals ~ Canning Applesauce ~

[@monikaweigl9923]

You are just wonderful Jessica. Your children are so happy to have you as their mom. I am way older than you and Wish to have had the chance to watch videos like yours when my daughter was small. The way you not waste food is so unbelievable. Go ahead Jess.

[@sherrylynn4671]

It's so wonderful to see someone show and explain how to use their freeze dried food! Some people use different equipment as a way to get views but never use the finished product, then sadly throw the food away because it won't get eaten. They just make the dried, dehydrated or canned food but that's as far as it goes. You are a true homesteader and waste nothing! Thank you for sharing your hard work and beautiful family with us.

[@mysticdiana4402]

Your pantry challenge is in true form and your standard to set that example for others is very much appreciated. Some hoard food and simply end up wasting it and that sets a terrible example. You waste nothing....the liquid from the beans to use as egg replacement. Such a good thing to know about with the high price of eggs. Hannah is growing so fast, such a pleasure to see her and all the other children. Your home is a HOME, full of love, respect, laughter and kindness. So enjoyable to watch. Have a blessed week.

Beautiful watching Adam bless the food and children while holding the baby. Such a treasured site

[@Becka034]

Thanks for another calm video, I have made it a habit to watch your Sunday videos while meal planning and filling out my weekly calendars ( I have one for my home office and one in the kichen) that keep me on track for the week. Your videos are like having a nice visit with a friend!

[@sanditschoepe2622]

Being very frugal and not wasting anything and trying to find usage for everything is quite commemorative, I dislike food waste myself but I don't always find ways to use up leftovers but I try, I'm a single eater and I don't usually make too much food for myself, truly enjoyed watching this, thank you! 😊

I just love watching you and your precious family interact and enjoy all the yummy healthy food you make to ensure they have the best to help them grow and the skills they will aquire, what a legacy to inherit.

[@bettypearson5570]

Those meatballs looked so wonderful. Most of us will use something like bread crumbs as the filler. Using those veggie powders can turn them into flavor bombs. So yummy looking

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

Yep, zero waste. Grew up country and that's how the ancestors did it in many cases had to do it. Everything but the squeal as they say. One thing I learned on accident is that wrinkly apples from late winter if they don't have rotten spots are still good. The shrinking and wrinkling concentrates and ages the juice Juiced out sugar beets we grew with the shrinkly apples boiled them to a syrup, and spiced it. It was amazing.

[@lisamr40]

Thank you Jessica for all the wonderful ideas for dairy free cooking. 2 of my children are lactose intolerant. My oldest is also gluten intolerant. It's been so difficult to try to switch out butter esp. When I used butter in lots of things. You give me so much information and ideas. Hope you have great week! TFS!

This is just as we make our applesauce, hardly any waste…and the sauce is so good. Please stay safe.

I really love how you take the basic elements of something and just add to it. I've always cooked like this but never baked like this. You are really changing the way I bake. It's also really liberated me to use my sourdough discard for pan fried flatbreads to serve with my hummus. I'm trying the vegan mousse this weekend thank you!

[@carriem7832]

I use my dehydrated veggies in a lot of dishes because we are not big fresh veggie eaters but this way we’ll still get them in our diet. I made dehydrated chicken and powdered it to add flavor but not all the salt etc as bouillon does. Cooked and dehydrated potatoes and rice are great as powders to thicken dishes. Cooked bean powder adds more flavor to chili without having to put tons of beans in it. I made my grandchildren veggie square pancakes and cut them into sticks…air fried to brown them a little and made homemade ranch dip with dehydrated carrots and celery in it. Great to add to smoothies also….baby Hanna loves watching everyone…so alert…..so cute as all the children are

[@debwiley3914]

Good morning Jessica! I've been dealing with clearing pantry items during the challenge. Yesterday I actually boxed empty canning jars, as I won't be refilling them before growing season. We are preparing to move and hope to be able to get a property with some land attached. My twins (on the spectrum) will be moving into my home after our court hearing on March 21, and we will need more space, not only to grow our food, but also to allow them room to escape one another periodically. I had FOUR flats of canning jars sitting on the kitchen table! Then I had a plumbing leak and the handyman is arriving this morning to fix that mess. He asked for homemade bread, so there are two loaves that just came out of the oven to repay his kindness. He remarked that he was going to come and repaint everything so I get top dollar on my home, and so I'm going to be going through the house while he is working this morning and packing up things that sit out or are hanging on the walls. I can do that while he works, and eliminate clutter for him while he is painting. My eldest son wanted veggies with his chili last week, so I put out a platter of home canned pickled red beets, banana peppers and dill pickles. I also emptied a jar of olives that had probably been in the frig since Thanksgiving. Those empty jars were part of the four flats of jars that needed to leave my kitchen yesterday. My students were hangry on Wednesday, and I had run out of snacks to feed them. I was wracking my brain, and didn't have butter or eggs at work. I did have cinnamon, flour, sugar, salt, cooking oil and yeast - so we mixed and baked (and eventually glazed) cinnamon rolls for them to eat. When strangers walk into our school and it smells amazing they are always amazed that my students are the ones preparing the food. Even my most picky eaters loved homemade cinnamon rolls - and one of my more challenging students made the glaze. He really enjoyed doing that. My staff looked at me in horror because I didn't even look at a recipe - if you know your proportions in yeast dough, you don't need a recipe. I made enough that we fed several other classrooms when we finished! On Friday my students made Becky from Acre Homestead's chewy sugar cookies which didn't need to be rolled out and made into cutouts. I LOVED them, as did everyone else who tasted them! Today's Sunday dinner includes a pork roast, scalloped potatoes, steamed broccoli (from my freezer) and strawberry shortcake. The strawberries were put up last June for just this occurrence. I found an angel food cake mix (Mennonite grocery store purchase last summer) in the cupboard, so I'll bake that off shortly to serve with the strawberries. I also have a bag of romaine hearts in the frig from our spaghetti dinner at school, which the family will enjoy with lunch. I know my sons are enjoying choosing meals from what I have on hand, and I'm enjoying knowing that I will have less to move when the day arrives because we are eating what is here. I also have a little more disposable cash with which to pay the handyman because I am not buying groceries. I did have to go to the store yesterday, but bought only the ingredients I absolutely needed for dinner today - all of which were found in the dairy aisle. I also had to purchase some cleaning supplies as I need those for preparing the house for the upcoming move. I'm starting to run low on flour, but not on spices or sugar. I do have oats in the freezer that could be made into flour - and may yet be, as I do not plan to grocery shop until after the move if I can avoid it. Thank you again for inspiring this challenge!

I finally was able to catch up all the vids I missed (we've been incredibly sick) so watching your new ones was so good, and gave me lots of inspiration. I just loved how the cinnamon rolls look, I will absolutely try them. For us, our canned stuff slowly gets down and I finally see what we use a lot and what not and that's so helpful - and as lots of fruit sauces are seemingly left, I adore all your recipes with fruit sauces and fruit fillings because it gives me a lot of ideas (and we now know - no, I do not need to preserve that much fruit sauces xD) Bless you and your family - especially the Lil' Miss Hannah, she's so sweet
