Dehydrating Mixed Vegetables!

[@bevp7838]

Putting the jsr over the hole in the dehydrator is the best tip EVER! You answered the question I had about the celery before I got it typed. Thank you.

[@essemsween818]

I love the idea of dehydrating frozen mixed veg on sale. What a space saver!! Another genius idea from the Mrs V.

[@mdoe37]

I've also done shredded hash browns. They rehydrate and cook up great...and you don't take up all that space in the freezer with icy potatoes. I get mine from the restaurant supply place in a large box.

[@renecurry6551]

I've done frozen corn, mixed white and yellow. It's wonderful dehydrated. It's even better eating as a snack..nice and sweet and crunchy!! On my way to frozen mixed veggies! Thanx mucho!!!!

[@JaniceCrowell]

I don’t like canned mixed vegetables, but I’ve been given some cans so I dehydrate them! I know they are already canned, but several regular cans dehydrated can fit in one jar. Great space saver.

[@caidenvincenzo7718]

Sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me

[@judahkeith6748]

@Caiden Vincenzo instablaster :)

[@SuttonsDaze]

The jar over the center is genius!

[@happygardener28]

TOOO RIGHT!!!! OML, I've struggled with loading my trays on a sheet of plastic then transferring the tray, this idea is a game changer!

[@lindabowser7451]

It was a game changer for me. So easy to fill the trays now.

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

I have a similar dehydrator, it is just like the cheap, round ones, only it is square. I bought some silicone mesh meant for Excaliburs, I think, (eBay) and cut it to size, only I did not cut out the hole in the middle. So I just put my veggies on and push the ones over the hole aside, that’s all. Works great❣️😊

[@adamchurvis1]

Yep! A little half-cup Mason jar inverted over the center, and the normally three-minute task of carefully arranging veggies becomes a fifteen-second "dump and spread" operation per tray. Just did this very thing six hours ago, will do again this morning. Thanks!

[@TourPace]

She needs to be nominated for an award for that gem!

[@annevans5547]

Love how you show everyone how to dehydrate the right way. Love to watch that. Love your videos.

[@kmaggie924]

Thank you Ms Beverly! My goal this coming Fall is to begin (try my hand at) canning and dehydrating. I don’t have anyone to teach me so I am so blessed by your videos!

[@bubblesbubbles2727]

Love your old school knowledge and appreciate you passing it on to us new schoolers who want to learn it. The satisfaction i get preparing foods for my family that ive grown, canned and or dehydrated myself makes me feel amazing. All thanks to you!! 💚I love you Mrs. Wolfe💛 Your a amazing soul and your family is lucky to have you!!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

I know that feeling of satisfaction!

[@deeknitter94]

I went grocery shopping yesterday over an hour away from home. I had cooler bags but I needed some ice. I didn't want to buy something for it to melt and throw it away. Because of your information I bought 6 bags of frozen mixed vegetables and threw them in my 2 bags. When I got home veggies we're just unthawed, food was cold. After I put things away I put the mixed veggies on the dehydrator and I have a start on my dehydrated mixed veggies. Thank you so much.

[@myrtlelester383]

Thank you Bev for showing everybody how to dehydrate vegetables. Because of you I have done a lot of dehydrating - so many of the other channels make it seem to be too hard to do whereas yours is simple enough even for a beginner. I made a huge pot of chicken vegetable soup using our homegrown, 6 lb. chicken and a large quantity of many dehydrated vegetables (many we grew ourselves) all learned from you to dehydrate. Please keep up the great work and even teach an old lady like me (I'm in my seventies) and will continue to learn.

[@taraharper7446]

I was putting some dehydrated mixed veggies in a jar when my little grandson came in and asked me, Why are putting Fruity Pebbles in that jar? I laughed so hard I almost wet my pants!

Love all your videos. ❤❤ Many Blessings Mrs. V

[@lynnmartin7123]

Been watching you dehydrate and can for years now, love to watch you, full of good info, thank you, Blessings England UK XX😀💚

[@biffjohnson7107]

I JUST got my dehydrator today, and this video really has me excited! Thanks for sharing!

[@MrsMags]

Genius! I love the jar idea. I showed my husband and he said, "Ugh! Why didn't we ever think of that!" I've never thought of dehydrating celery until this fall. I didn't try it, but I will be this year! I love your soup mix idea. It would also be great to make stock if needed. I save ends and pieces of onions, celery and carrots in a freezer bag just for stock, but I've run out. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year!

[@daffy2u]

Mahalos for telling us how easy it is to Dehydrate Mixed Vegetables !

[@dashmo37]

Thank you reminding me that I really need to watch the sales

[@cindym6081]

I just bought my dehydrator, now I think I may need to buy a second! So glad to see I bought the same brand dehydrator you have. I considered spending more for one of the others but decided that since I am new I would spend less and maybe later buy the expensive one....now I know that will not be necessary. Thank you Mrs. V!!

[@AcornHillHomestead]

You will not be sorry having a second one at the ready. They are one of the best tools I have in my kitchen. 😉

[@CleverEwe]

Thanks Bev for the info re: peppers and onions! I am definitely going to buy some frozen mix to dehydrate too. Best to you and Howie. On the hunt for deer carrots now.

[@rebeccashetter8389]

I am so glad I found you again.. I was unsubscribed a while back and I didn't do it. Thank you so much for all your hard work... In these times we really need angels like you helping us... God Bless and stay safe everyone.

[@MINERVARIOSmin_crafts]

So much flavor in that mix. Love the idea of grinding and using as filler for meatballs. Will be on the lookout for sales! Tfs

[@michaelobrien4644]

Excellent video on dehydrating thank you very much my dear cheers

[@TourPace]

This is such a great method for taking advantage of sales. I never thought about dehydrating the frozen vegetable - even though my freezer is over flowing!

[@AcornHillHomestead]

I always come back to your videos for GOOD advice. I have four dehydrators and use them all!! I own both the Nesco and Excalibur. They are both great for different jobs. I love to have these dry veggies on hand. Frozen hash browns are my fave. Put them frozen on the trays and go. Use for even quick casseroles. 7 Aldi bags of hash browns fit in one 1/2 gallon Ball jar!! 😉. Grab a handful of veg and put them in soups and chili. Corn is awesome too. So many times I only need go add a small handful into a pot of chili and I always have it on hand now. Well worth the time spent.

[@virginia7191]

Great idea! I have leftover celery and carrots in my fridge and peppers and onions in my freezer. I know what I’ll be doing today. Thanks Bev!

[@allieville9864]

Love you channel and you, learning so much, God bless !

[@phebefriddle9133]

Love the little jar idea. You might add kale or spinach to the mix. I love soup mix. Good stuff!

[@kathyb3606]

Hey Miss V, Once again I followed your lead. Bought large amounts of veggies when costco had a good sale. Spent 3 weeks dehydrating. My pantry is looking good! Again....much appreciated.❤🧡💯

[@amandawhite982]

I love this video! I plan on going camping this year with my kids and plan to bring food to cook over the camp fire so dehydrating as much food as I can that we can cook I think is the way to go. Thank you for all the good information!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

EXCELLENT Idea! Here is also a handy camping dehydrated food! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp-YnKZrid5gqs0

[@maryclendenin8565]

Thanks for the tip on putting a small jar over the center hole...GENIUS!

[@NaturalChoices4u]

I use a foodsaver with my canning jars. with the attachment that pulls out the air from the jars.. !! so super easy!! love your videos!

[@homesteadinthewoods4841]

I am going to have to try this !! I can't wait to retire...so much to do, so little time right now. I am working towards that goal !! Hugs to you Bev !! Stay warm.

[@kimgrannygoodhag5102]

If you want to sneak a veggie into the soup pot just put that veggie in th coffee grinder and make it powdered.

[@norahbradley5138]

Kim Grannygoodhag I do that with muffins, cupcakes and pasta sauce. I’m a mean mean mommy.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

I have also ground it and used it as filler in meat balls and meat loaf!

[@kimgrannygoodhag5102]

Sweet Peas I chose that name when I was playing a lot of games online. I got tired of men wanting to “get to know me better” when all I wanted was to play a game of words with friends. It did the trick!

[@teandasmith6901]

great idea. I myself don't like mushrooms but they are good anti-inflammatory so Im doing this. Thanks

[@nellcovington4001]

This is a good idea, Kim. Another way if you don't have dehydrated carrots to grind: My son won't eat cooked carrots, so when I make stew, I boil the carrots in a little water first then puree them with an immersion blender (all right in the big pot I'll make the stew in). That way we still get the goodness with out the taste or texture. He's just fine with that. I saw your post below about your name. Made me smile.

[@pamp5797]

Hi Bev, I have been watching your old videos and my Dear I have been enjoying these videos so much. These brought to mind I haven't seen anything about your livestock. Hummus, have I missed the part that you and Howie have gotten rid of your animals.

[@back2basics597]

Your take charge attitude really inspires confidence. You must be a terrific grandma.

[@livelaughloveeveryday4100]

I just recently got a dehydrator (finally) and the reason I wanted to give it a try is because of your videos Bev. I've been watching you dehydrate veggies for a couple years and you inspired me! One of the main things I want to do is a soup mix - I love veggies in chicken or veggie stock with rice and little bit of shredded chicken or turkey for a nice hot lunch or dinner. Yum. Thank you for your great teaching videos.

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Making a soup mix is a great idea, because both soup bags and vegetable soup broth powder is pretty pricey. So if you e.g. use a lot of those cup soups etc, you can save a lot. I just dehydrated 10 leeks and some spring onions and after dehydrating and powdering, they fill 1 marmalade jar. It is so strong, concentrated, lovely green and smells heavenly. Makes me want to do more. So great to add to things like vegan meats etc too, sneaking in veggies while using it as if it was just spices. I put it and tomato powder in my last «unmeatballs» and they are sooo yummy! OMG, now I am hungry❗️☺️ I think carrots are next on my list!👏😊

[@eyesofmyheart7246]

You are soulfood! Love your vibe and all your content. Will definitely be firing up both dehydrators this weekend to make a big batch. I never had dehydrated veggies before. They look good!!!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Look for my next video and I use a whole bunch in a video.

[@wildedibles819]

Great tips love the jar over the center of the dehydrator :)

[@mjhonold8530]

Now I need to get out my excalibur dehydrator and do some dehydrating!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@midwestkatie4]

Love the jar idea! Brilliant!

[@milliewilkie1969]

wow i have never heard of a dehydrator ..i researched them.on amazon and bought one off ebay GB£30 free shipping i will put it to good use this spring and summer well anytime i pick.up cheap.or free veg .thank you Beverley xx

I would love to see a draw on a jar of your dehydrated vegetables. 🤩👍

This is the first time I’ve seen your show LOVE IT

[@susanedwards9473]

That my friend is beautiful!!! so colorful!!!

[@susanwoodcarver]

I SO enjoy your videos! Two questions, please. Did you peel the carrots, and did you rinse the celery? My celery has dirt in between the stalks, at the bottom. Yours didn’t. Maybe Canadian celery is just cleaner than ours in the U.S.? ☺️Thank you, Bev. You feel like you are part of my family. I learn so much from you. HUGS! 💕

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

A while back, I watched your other dehydration video's. Oh, the motivation!! I did jars & jars of individual veggies. I'm using the last of them now, so I'm watching for sales.

[@cynforrest]

Wonderful. Getting a hydrator is high on my wish list. I’m hoping to spy the kind you have - looks like it works great and doesn’t take tons of room to store. I can almost smell the veggies boiling.,,, When I blanch veggies I freeze the leftover boiling liquid in ice cube trays. Handy for cooking.

[@happygardener28]

American Harvest had one with the fan in the bottom, I like that model for the price.

[@sharonlatour6230]

Wonderful Bev! Thanks so much! Great ideas!

[@crosezrose]

Great reminder! Plus I really miss these type of video's! I know you have tons to go back and watch, and I do, but these are fun!!

[@LuJustLu]

I've really got to get me a dehydrator. Love this video. There's no limit to the dishes you can make with those veggies!

[@ericsgranny8933]

Love the dehydrated vegetable soup greens from the Amish. I plan to try this. Thanks for sharing!

[@italianladyr]

Thanks this video is very informative. I've been looking for the right dehydrator in order to save veggies from my garden. That soup mix looks good. Can't wait to dehydrate for the first time.

[@sharon22669]

Hi! I just stumbled across your channel and have been enjoying your videos. Binge watching. I've never canned before but you're converting me. My reason isn't snow but chronic pain. On "good days" prepping for the "bad days" will save money and be healthier. I live in the US, in New Jersey. We are known as the "Garden State" but your produce is a lot less expensive than ours.

[@angelseightsix]

sharon-I'm in Ct. Chronic pain here also. I can & dehydrate with my children on good days. Make large batch dinners that I freeze extras for bad days.

[@homegrowntomatoes6067]

I have been dehydrating everything since I found your channel, very satisfying! Thanks again!

[@robynwilliams5928]

Bev I am watching all your videos. I’m gonna have to buy a couple dehydrators. Thank you sooooooo much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us. I wish I would have paid more attention to my grandmas growing up.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

You're paying attention now that's what's important! Don't forget to share your knowledge

[@robynwilliams5928]

@@OurHalfAcreHomestead I will definitely share my knowledge. I do wish I would have paid more attention when I was a girl and watched my gran cook. She use to tell me “Young lady this is important. Some day when you have a family of your own, this will come in handy.” Now I’m having to relearn all this stuff like canning, dehydrating. My kids are grown but we’re all learning to do this because it saves so much money and it helps us prep for when fresh veggies aren’t available. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@josephinedanvers8357]

I still live at home and do not have a dehydrator, but these video's fascinate me! Such a smart idea! I love it! Is anyone sees this, could you please let me know if many vitamins get lost doing this? Many thanks!

[@sabinarowlison9565]

Started using a jar or small bowl over the center of the tray what a life saver thanks for the tip

[@elchewtoy]

I just love your teaching spirit, thank you for sharing.

[@cynthiaweathers6979]

I would figure out how to save the water you drained to make a stock broth. Great video as always.

[@brendanelson8670]

had a dehydrator when the kids was all home, used it for jerky, after they was all gone gave it to my oldest, 3 years ago i saw one of your videos, bought a new dehydrator, i have even done marshmallows. last summer at a yard sale got a Ronco for 2 dollars never was used, (it has been now lol) right before christmas i finally got one with a temperature setting. so now i have 3 and at least one going a couple times a month ( i have 5 kids and now 12 grandbabies) so when something goes on sale, i over buy, at thanksgiving 10 lbs of potatos for 1.57 each, yup i bought 10 bags 15.70 for 100 lbs not bad. lol that took forever. lol last week i found baby carrots on sale for .99 a bag, best part they had .50 cent off coupon stuck to them,,,i bought 26 bags at . 49 cents each making 12.74 total . lol (1 pound bags) so the dehydrators are going. love all your videos.

Thanks Mrs. V. I really need to put my dehydrator to work. I make a lot of soups in the winter. But I going to try someone's suggestion of making a powder for meat balls or meat loaf. Sounds good.

[@elizabethhicks9844]

We've had our dehydrator for years now but we have only used it for jerky...till this year...so far I've made cucumber chips...apple chips ...onions...an peppers and soon I'm going to be dehydrating frozen mixed veggies...

[@marycleveland6432]

You Tube needs a love button. I love your idea and video.

[@JaniceCrowell]

I love to dehydrate my veggies for soup, but I also use yellow squash, zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms, and even winter squashes. Oh, garlic too! I saw a Mary’s Nest video today about making dehydrated bouillon and I might make smaller jars with vegetables and bouillon, truly making an instant soup!

[@deboragustin9980]

We love our big silver bowls, use them all the time when we can or dehydrate. We have 3 excalibur dehydrators. 2 we use all the time and one for back up if one breaks down. Plus the round dehydrator for jerky or making tomato powder. Love and hugs.

since i am not yet a homesteader, I actually planted the onions that were starting to sprout just to see what they would do..lol...and oh where was this video when I started to dehydrate! I have tons of veg that were not blanched first...so it will probably be tough when using...but i caught on with your mushroom vid, and have not looked back since! =) you have been a weallth of knowledge to me, and I thank you so very much.

Don't you just love the food chopper. I have one and it saves me hours of chopping. My way of doing celery is to separate the stocks and leaves. I know not everyone does that, but there are times when I just want to use the leaves. Dehydrated foods are so high when buying and it does save money and a little time to DIY.

God Bless you Honey! I use A Nesco American Harvest! I like them because they are a reasonable price...extra parts are easy to find and they are a workhorse! You can also Dehydrate frozen mixed veggies! ( Like corns, beans peas and carrots...they can go RIGHT on the dehydrator because they are already blanched)
