I love Rachel from that 1870s Homestead. And she’s real. She tells people this is what works for my family often. People can be so critical. I always adjust recipes for what my family likes. Doesn’t make it right are wrong. I was told you could reuse jars with button lids and didn’t believe them. Then I saw Rachel doing it. I’ve been sneaking veggies in my meals for years. What they don’t know won’t hurt them.

[@marlenecardinahl9346]

I use and reuse jam jars and all other jars long as they have rubber in them when covets chip inside I put dry stuff in them and lay. Plastic over top and then cover on- if something don’t deal It is refrigerated and used shortly- most jars seal quick

[@marlenecardinahl9346]

I use my canned stuff first before I go to store canned goods- Sorry Iam old so fingers hit wrong letters some times

Hey Guys, I don't know what the people were giving you grief about on fb but I am 100% Italian, my dad was born there and my grandparents as well. When I was a kid growing up and my dad was cooking, I would ask him what he was making. On refrigerator clean out days we always had what he called "spaghettini mélange" meaning spaghetti with a bunch of other stuff LOL. Unfortunately, he could never get it just the same because it really depended on what we had in the fridge as to what it tasted like and every time he made it, well, it was different. So, as my dad would have told you "non illigitamus carborundum"! Look it up if you need to, he made me a t shirt that said it LOL. Keep doin what you are doin, we love it!

[@patriciaherman6499]

As for spaghetti sauce not all Italian sauces are not the same, some do carrots ( for sweetness, don't need sugar), onions, celery, & tomatoes or onion, peppers, garlic & tomatoes or how I make it: carrots, peppers, onions, celery, zucchini, yellow squash, garlic, hot peppers & tomatoes. Great info on what plants to use on what ails you. Be Blessed 😊🇺🇲

[@concettahartford6681]

I'm Italian & I wasn't offended! I can't wait to try the Stivers method. I really like the idea of blending it!

[@carriecreates1207]

As a city girl, I really enjoy seeing true farm life. Thank you for bringing us along on the daily chores and cooking!!! Your wife is an inspiration!!

[@whiskeywomanwhisks]

I started doing “ garden sauce” a couple yrs ago! We love it!!! Use up tons of veggies and sauce is full of nutrients! My husband and boys don’t like veggies🤷‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ so I sneak it in lots of ways! Mama’s gotta do what’s best!😜

[@katiemclain2946]

The timing of this video is uncanny! I was just deep diving myself into health benefits and medicinal properties of plants. Did you know horseradish has anti-cancer properties?! And I haven't seen any of the homesteaders I watch grow it. And for those who don't like the taste, I am thinking of freeze drying it and making powder to put in dissolving capsules.

[@GypsyLynn5150]

Great idea! Also, I just saw a video today about growing tumeric. I picked up a bottle of apple cider vinegar with tumeric and honey from the grocery store. I had originally gotten it to put in my spring water as a drink. Well, Saturday my Brother told me that he has an abscessed tooth or something going on with his gums. He was worried about it being the weekend with no dentists open. So, the only thing I could think to give him was that apple cider vinegar with tumeric and honey. I told him to swish it for about 30 seconds and spit out. He did, with with what looked to be some of the infection. He did it again with the same results. A couple hours later, the swelling was going down!!! He has since gotten antibiotics, but that helped in the meantime. I want to grow tumeric for home remedies, and especially dental issues!

[@stephanieanderson8935]

I have 3 big horseradish plants in my yard. Had no idea it had those properties... my dad grew it and loved to eat it.

[@silviamagda]

Horseradish is really used in parts of europe. We like it grated, with greek yogurt, ricotta, cottage cheese or sour cream. And we dip things in it. I keep it grated in the fridge but I only mix it with what I said above, when we eat it.

[@stephanieanderson8935]

What's the best way to process it for use? I believe he used to dig up the roots and grind them up and put some vinegar with it??

[@silviamagda]

@@stephanieanderson8935 that's what i do. I grate it and mix it with vinegar. It keeps in the fridge a long time.

Hey y'all, thanks so much for doing content that helps us learn to can and preserve food. It's greatly appreciated and you all are such great individuals. Hope to one day meet you all.

[@preparingforretirement]

As someone married to the eldest son in an Italian family..... and who had to learn how to make the "meatballs and gravy" before getting married.... don't worry about the Italians and their sauce (gravy). Each family has "the best recipe" so basically there is no defining recipe for spaghetti sauce. It also varies from region to region as it would depend on availability. You make your sauce and call it whatever you want. I've been in Italian gatherings and heard the arguments on who has the best gravy recipe (REAL gravy) and I can tell you that they get heated. Food is super important to them.

[@shaunafeds4909]

Just recently started watching you guys and I adore you guys. Thanks for being genuine

[@truliecole5107]

Yes I love Rachel from homestead 1870s I love and enjoy every one of your guys's videos . Plz keep up the good works I'm learning so much from your family I've been home schooling my children for 2 years now

[@andreahughes5750]

When I was told that I was having stress panic attacks from working in the industrial world, I decided I needed to make some changes. The medicines that drs. tried to give me had serious side effects and I could not function. I realized I would need to do my own research to discover more natural remedies. Love the tinctures you talked about today. Dandelion is absolutely amazing and when I get a spot of my own I will be growing this myself. Thank you for the videos and knowledge you provide.

[@alchapman96]

We are in sevierville and our peppers just started exploding. Our have been slow to start fruiting.

Hey guys, Im Italian and I’m not offended, in fact I LOVE ALL the veggies in ours! Love this sauce! Thanks Jenn and Zac!

[@melissajones1805]

So glad you guys are ok. If there's a lot of lightning it will spook the larger animals. Wish I had some other rain you have and are getting. My garden is shot. When it was raining the hoppers took a tole and now unless I water 2 times a day alot has died. Ugh.

[@myfuturepuglife]

Love yalls videos and love how yall do things and do life in general! I'm so sad about my tomatoes. I lacked the foresight to see things through til harvest I guess. The plants, some of them are underneath an old walnut tree. There are worms that get inside the leaves and tomatoes. The worms cause a blister in the leaves and I'm out there every day snipping them off. Also, this hot white sun heat is frying the flowers on the tomato plants so it's looking like all we are going to get are the tomatoes at the bottom of the plant because everything at the top is just diseased and fried. The Florida weave does not work here with the wild storms we've been getting it's just not secured enough and they blow over anyway. Next year Lord willing, I will not plant tomatos anywhere near that walnut tree and I may just let them sprawl out on the ground if I don't have the money to trellis them up properly. Love from southwest Virginia!

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

I know you have to tell ppl to talk to their doctors. I did talk to a few different docs throughout my journey of self care. Most are all but clueless about any natural remedies And homemade..lol. I have had 2 drs, they were LPNs that encouraged natural remedies. I now live in Mexico and am getting acquainted with the different plant medicine here.

So... I just started /discovered your channel! Amazing and EXACTLY what I am looking for to be honest. Was binge watching and happened to see tou cutting corn off the cob to preserve. I had seen somewhere else to use a bundt pan and place the corn on the center part for stability and the corn will fall to the sides of the pan! Hope this helps...save your fingers! Respectfully, gardening RN . Lol

When the zucchinis are too big sometimes we like to grate them and fry them in the frying pan like hash brown potatoes and make some over easy eggs and put it atop

Medicinal herbs and learning about them is on my list for when I have surgery in a couple weeks. Thank you for all the information you give in your videos and I will soon pick one or two to try from your Etsy shop. I noticed what I think is a typo on the dandelion root tincture. It says 1-22 dropperfuls daily. Just thought you might like to know this. Looking forward to more from you both and watching you grow.

[@terryhenderson424]

I first did this to incorporate more green veggies, broccoli especially, into the diet. But what I do is make basically a meal out of raw broccoli and add it, upto 1/3rd by volume, to the spaghetti sauce. And yes, it does add thickness and texture without tomato paste, a starch thickener, cheese, added fats and meat.

[@Iluvchknz]

I’m here for garden spaghetti sauce. We eat RAOs in this house currently, but… this year I’ve went full force with the paste tomatoes and I have zucchini coming out my ears. I made homemade sauce and it’s has zucchini, peppers and onions. I canned for the first time ever this year. I’ve made 16 qts this year so far.
