Meal Prep for the Fridge and Freezer Makes Busy Day Cooking a Breeze

[@user-IdahoGal]

Your daughter’s daycare kids are living their best lives with you cooking for them! That casserole will be delicious.

[@conniesowers5125]

I love chicken salad. I do add grapes, I know grapes aren’t good for Mr Wayna, but I also add either a few walnuts or almonds. I love the extra crunch. I need to get busy and make some chicken salad, you made me start to crave some 😊

[@elizabethhendriks9030]

Renea, you look so beautiful! how generous of you to send everyone home with pizzas and they don’t pay you that’s amazing and it’s amazing the community that you all have they bring stuff to put on your pizzas I love that!

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

I don't charge for the pizzas but many will donate monies and items to keep this going.

[@IonaWard]

I’ve been watching your videos since last year. I so enjoy them. I’m glad your husband is doing better with the diabetes. My late husband had diabetes too. It’s wonderful the way you and your community do for each other. Have a blessed day and keep those videos coming.

[@charmainescarborough5646]

That's wonderful news about your husbands health and how caring and giving of you to provide for your family and neighbors! Your the best neighbor anyone would want:) Friendly and kind:) Thanks for the video!

If you put a container of frozen rice in the microwave to defrost, place 3 ice cubes on top of the rice, and cover it. When it's done, the ice cubes will help steam the rice, but they won't melt! It's amazing to see. It happens when you reheat rice from the fridge as well! Just make sure it's covered.

I was surprised that you didn’t make your own mayonnaise unless you’re definitely into just Miracle Whip. With all your lovely chickens, it’s so easy to make mayonnaise. Roughly, one egg, to one cup of oil. The oil I use is avocado. The rest of it is just the seasonings to your taste, such as salt, pepper, lemon juice or vinegar, store bought mustard, turmeric. 😊

Girl I love how you scrape down a bowl! So satisfying 😂😂❤❤

[@lindacampbell2329]

Sweet Renee love the cabbage meal and thanks for letting your friends know what you found out and also the source . I’m going to try the cabbage with different spices thank you so much for being just you so humble and kind . 🥰

[@NADIExxxxxx]

[@debinattier5906]

I used to make chicken salad for my husbands lunch but he always wanted shredded cheese in it too. I never thought about making wrap’s with it.

[@ShelbyBunten]

Renea you give me out just watching you you do need three of you but i have to say your sure doing a wonderful job your so giving and kind I love that about you God bless you sweetheart ❤️ Shelby

[@melissajohnson4289]

Im so glad youre getting Johns diet straightened out. Ive been Type I for 47 yrs but I didnt feel qualified to try and tell you what to do lol. Leave that to the profesioinals.

[@eudorasalih4004]

Renea the children will enjoy that salad you are such a great grandmother tell Mr Wayna he’s looking good from Philadelphia

[@ShirleyJacobs-zx7ep]

I'm a diabetic type 2 thanks for sharing

[@DianeC.]

Hi Renea!!! Everything you made looked delish...YUMS!!!...When ever I take foods to a gathering I send a big Spoon with it. I buy a bunch at The Dollar Store. That way they have something to serve it with and no big deal if I dint get my spoons back. My oldest daughter is our MacSalad maker. I have never made it...I like a little Sippy-Poo of wine now and again!!!... Nice Video!!!...🦋

[@sarahlarson1082]

I cook rice in my instant pot. Otherwise I always seem to burn it on the bottom!

[@manong4328]

I enjoy so much watching you cooking! Always a great pleasure. God bless you and family ❤

[@mehtarelingolien]

Peonies are one of my favorite flowers. Like roses, without thorns! My partner, who is pre-diabetic, has cooked (white) rice with coconut oil. Not only does it help with starch resistance, it also cuts the calories by half. It does have a really mild coconut taste to it, but not off-putting enough that you cannot use it with other things.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@wendymccollough156]

I had heard about the rice but not the pasta. Guess I’m gonna make pasta tomorrow and make some kind of salad with it the next day. Thanks for that tidbit of information

[@patriciahartless2095]

Hello Renea And Mr.John . Every thing looks so delicious . Thanks for sharing . Glad you got the garden almost planted . Have a beautiful day both of you .😊

[@mariaguadagno9483]

How sweet that bacon gift....how sweet!!!

[@bernm1948]

UK Very late sewing/ planting this year because of weather but all coming on strong. I’m 76 have COPD , diabetes and mobility issues but use a rollator to get around garden and do jobs….takes a long time though. Good you do meals for your family. Thanks for your vlog 🧑‍🍳x

[@lucindasutt7365]

Love you beautiful Barettes., your hair looks lovely.

[@genniferwilliams213]

Thank you for showing how to do the cabbage steaks. Wrapping them up is the step I was missing. In the past I put them on a baking tray and into the oven. Never turned out great as you can imagine. Dinner will be great tonight with your technique. ❤

[@tinafritts1619]

I've been thinking about Making chicken salad. I use mayo and sour cream (equal amts) and curry powder. It's so yummy!

[@melindawargowsky8176]

Just wanted you to know that I used my Vevor meat slicer (bought after your review) to slice a big boneless ham really thin. Worked great with little effort. Not too keen that you need a tool to take the blade off for cleaning (They could have included it.), but I loved how it sliced!😊

[@kimberlymartyn1232]

If you like water chestnuts, add them to your chicken salad for crunch, they are good for you ❤

[@pamelaclayton-vg9me]

I use the 1/2 gallon bags a lot think they are wonderful

[@rebel0905]

Did you know that as well as Tea, You can make a Peony Jam or Jelly.. Mine are flowering great this year, I may just try it 🙂

[@citygirlhomestead]

everything looks amazing

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Renea and John! I live peonies and I have 5 of them, they smell so beautiful. That was nice to give you the bacon for the pizzas. I have a cabbage in the fridge that I was debating on frying it or making cabbage rolls with it. Cabbage steaks are yummy too. Everything looks delicious. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed evening!

[@maryfrazier5674]

Renea love the cabbage steak foil packets! I didn't see the temp to cook them or for how long. I'd love to make them!

[@DonCook-i4d]

God bless u

[@kimmckillips7522]

You look very pretty today! Love your hair like that!

[@cherylwagg1371]

How long to cook cabbage pappy at what temperature? Thanks Cheryl from Bracebridge Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@candacekraut5050]

Hey Renee!! You might know this, but a service man said never ever use harsh cleaners, dawn power wash or any Windex type cleaner on your stove control panel. It will cause damage to the sensors.

[@dolorescraig8322]

Never tried cabbage steaks but I will now.

[@ClickinChicken]

Tuna mac salad, you and me both! ha! Ours has peas in it. That chicken dish with the rice is a homerun! 🔵⚪🔵 NUM! I got in trouble for not chopping onions small enough last Saturday for Tuna Mac salad.. lol She picked them out, on a paper plate (didn't chop them, threw them), said to me, "Would you like that?", she said. Actually, I wouldn't mind! haha No talking back to this Boss Lady! 😁 Good idea, your meat slicer would make easy work of that cabbage!

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Glad she is not my boss. Haha.

[@shelliestorevik3553]

Where are the bowls from please

[@kelliealley7418]

Renea...you look amazing!

[@TrashorTreasure-ie3sz]

Good Afternoon 🌞 ❤

[@amberlovejoy]

I love to use bacon fat on my cabbage steaks ❤❤❤

[@vickieasberry9549]

Have you tried dehydrating your rice? It saves lots of time. Just like minute rice. Your macaroni salad sounds delicious. I make a potato salad that everyone asks for but I have never found a macaroni salad recipe that I am satisfied with. I watch your videos as soon as they pop up.❤ 18:13

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Oh yes, I have dehydrated rice many times and I love it.

[@kathyfranco9372]

Renee, I guess I made a mess of my corn on cob. I didn't know how to do them and so I peeled them and put them in a freezer bag and froze them. They were going to go bad before we could use them. Are they ruined?

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

No they will be fine.

[@TammyDuncan-m5f]

I don't drink wine either but so many people have a glass with dinner or relaxing in the evening, I can't help wonder what i'm missing. I have never been a drinker. I love cabbage steaks but mine always loose the out side rings and end up burnt around the edges. Is that because I didn't wrap them?

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

That is why I wrap mine.

[@madmecyr]

How do you cook the cabbage steaks? On the grill? or in the oven? I would love to try those.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Either way and you can even use the air fryer they are delicious.

[@lindagraff4842]

Very beautiful, I love the smell of them, watch for ants, they love peonies. I'm so nutty, I just got off the phone with a girlfriend that I've known since grade 7. Its our 47th Anniversary we graduated in 1977. Lol old farts....❤😂🤣 then I turn your channel.on, you start with the flowers, and I'm answering you and you can't even hear me, lol

[@debbiejohnson7368]

Diabetes information. Everyone is different but you might beware of canned cream of mushroom soup. My dad was so surprised when we discovered that it made his blood sugar spike horribly. Just something to watch out for.

[@tgsharp2838]

Breakfast pizzas and taco pizzas are amazing as well

[@JuneLewis-u8u]

Did I miss how you cook the cabbage steak 😳😳?

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

No, I will cook them in another video.

[@essiemohr1216]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@siamese35]

Do you sell pizzas to the neighbors?

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

No, our pizza is donation only.

[@siamese35]

@@LittleVillageHomestead that’s awesome.

[@sandrabrewer2636]

Hi Renea, please don't believe everything you hear about starch resistance. Cooking pasta and rice and letting them cool does not make them better for diabetics to eat. I am diabetic and I cannot eat rice or pasta at all. Eating cold pasta still elevates my blood sugars. Eating cooled and reheated rice also elevates my blood sugars. Potatoes that are boiled and the water drained off (as for mashed potatoes) are ok for me to eat. Also, maybe add a little more fat to John's diet to help with hunger issues. I hope this information helps.

[@acoastalrv4582]

Everybody's body is different... I can eat anything trying as long as it is in moderation...I also switched to dream fields pasta which never spikes my sugar
