For those looking for cheap Turkey's in KY my Kroger had turkeys for $.49 a lb with an additional $25 purchase.

I stopped saying "practice makes perfect" a loooong time ago. Now, we say "practice makes PROGRESS". I enjoy your videos so much! You are AMAZING 😊❤✌🏾

[@cindycollins2510]

You don't need to thank us girl! I am extremely lucky to have found your channel last year. You have taught this old lady much when it comes to canning and baking and many other kitchen techniques that you use. So thank you for what you do for us!

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

😍😍

[@marthaporter3864]

You are such a hard worker. One day your family will be watching an old video of your channel and say “wow, mom you did so much for us”. Carry on!!❤

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

I hope so! ❤️ Thanks for being here! 😊

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

It's always a pleasure to spend the day with you in your kitchen cooking.

[@dianerajkowski1291]

You make all the difference in this inside out world .. we need more people like you who continue to care and share with others. Never feel doubtful weather you are making a difference in peoples lives .. you go girl .. nothing can stop you !

[@SuzetteJennings-p7h]

I enjoy watching you. I wish I would have seen you many years ago when my children were young. Good job.

[@veggielovinaccountant]

Santa 🎅🏻 is supposed to be bringing me that electric pressure canner! I’m so excited!

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

Yay!! ❤️❤️

[@brandymurphy6373]

When I do meatball meal prep I go ahead and make a few meatloaves as well. Almost all the same ingredients! Make my life so much easier! I freeze the meatballs cooked and the meatloaf raw.

[@danniemcdonald7675]

WOW! I'm tired just watching you. I need to can some beans while my canner is out. Yestetday I canned 7 pints of rump roast that I got on sale for $3.99. Soup would be good to. Wish I had thought of that before I canned all of tje roasts. Oh, well. I can add the meat when I get ready to heat it up. Have you thought about canning some meatballs? I make mine with just the meat and spices. No eggs or oatmeal/breadcrumbs and they hold together just fine. Bake until almost done and pressure can them.I canned some in spaghetti sauce and some in beef broth (for Stoganoff,etc). Suttonsdaze has a video on how to do them. Good call making the Salisbury steaks. They look good!

[@scooper405]

I keep celery seed and dehydrated celery on hand. Celery will fade in color if not blanched first. Slice, blanche, dry.

[@nanceshaw7629]

Always date your bags - makes it so much easier to use oldest first. Been canning fifty years, still learning. Love your channel.

[@stacyrussell460]

Tamara, I can see why these videos do so well. They're always full of easy ideas & clearly you're having so much fun while showing us. I'd be bragging all over if I created a cinnamon loaf that looked half as good as yours turned out. I'm sure it tasted even better than it looked.

[@Sammi_May]

Hey hey my beautiful friend ❤❤❤

[@Jilly2025]

Ok, so why have I never thought of freezing meatballs?? How convenient! Thank you Tamara for all the great ideas! I know your videos must take a ton of work. We appreciate you!

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

You are so welcome!

[@teacherinrecovery]

Yes and you can reheat from frozen in the instant pot!

[@rachelhero3413]

I am going to make some meatballs this weekend. I will do half Turkey half Beef since I have both in my freezer. I’m trying to prep my freezer with homemade convenience foods since I work 12-16 hour days 4-6 days a week.

[@janetdwyer1867]

I so glad to sit with my tea and watch you❤

[@maurinadittenhaffer6140]

Tamara I am back. Been missing you and all of your videos. My husband recently completed his radiation treatments so life is getting back to more normal. Hope you and the family have been well. I will continue to comment on your videos once I catch up.

[@Feddhomestead]

I actually can milk. It's a rebel canning thing, but I have canned many, many quarts and pints of 2% milk. That's the one my daughter likes the most! I have used jars that were on the shelf for almost a year. But I have not canned any soups or anything with dairy in it. My main reason is that the processing times are so different, I think it would curdle in the soups and things! But that's just me. I just recently found your channel and so far I am really enjoying learning from you!! Thanks so much for sharing with us!!

[@sabrinadevol1210]

New subscriber here. Retired from nursing in 2022. Got a Nesco electric pressure canner. My goal is to start meal prepping as you are doing. I'm single, so will be doing small batches and portion sizes. Love your videos!

[@melindaridinger3008]

I just made your bread machine bread. My family loves it. I do the very same. I spend a couple days a week making food for my family. I love making everything from scratch. It tastes so much better. I think I'm going to make the cinnamon roll bread for Christmas gifts this year. Thank you for sharing your day in the kitchen with us.

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

Aww, so glad you liked it!!

[@cindy2252]

❤you Tamara!! 🙏🏻 I started watching your channel when you started your prepper pantry in your former home. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you on your journey. You inspire me as I watch you "knock it out of the park" with each endeavor you undertake. I love my only son as much as you love Winston, but if the Lord would have blessed me with another child, it would be a daughter like you. That cinnamon loaf is beautiful!

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

You are so sweet!! 😊

[@robertaorres8019]

First time I saw your vlog……looks like mine! All knotty pine! Every thing cupboards and all. But mine is much smaller probably 8’x12’. Maybe. I really enjoyed your vlog and will subscribe. So popular in the 40s and 50s.

[@thegraymarlin]

Another awesome video! Love it! The cinnamon roll bread looks amazing. I do something similar just don’t cut it. I roll the dough out to the width of my bread loaf pan and roll it up like a loaf of white bread and bake it in the loaf pan. Then you have cinnamon swirl bread that is AMAZING! Thanks for sharing, I’m so happy I found your channel. Blessings from south TX 😊

[@yvettegerry9862]

Thank you , for thanking your subscribers you are so sweet and very helpful . Think I will make chicken and dumplings tomorrow. You could use that for veggie soup or chicken soup great idea 💡 still want to make bread 🥖 with you ! I make meatloaf for the freezer, life saver . When I make spaghetti and meatballs always make extra to make meatball subs . Everything looks great ! See you soon . 🫙🧆🫙🥖🍚

a few years ago i saw someone make her cinnamon buns like you normally would, sliced them then greased a bread pan and stood the buns on there sides in a row ,filling the loaf pan and baked it , it was really cool.

Hi Tamara. I am just amazed every time you do this! I love the idea of the meatballs and Salisbury steaks. I might try to do that the next time I stock up on ground beef. Your cinnamon bread looked delicious. You should open up a bakery.😃 Thanks for sharing as always. 🤗💕

[@temperancehope]

That cinnamon bread came out so beautifully.

[@StephanieGiese]

I bought myself an electric presser canner recently because I had a 40% off coupon for Kohl’s. I really want to move toward more homemade foods. But it’s been sitting in a box because I’m very intimidated to try using it. You make it seem much more accessible and less scary.

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

Once you do it the first time you will love it!! I was the same way! Scared to death, but you just got to do it!!! You can do it! ❤️❤️

I really love your videos. Canning is a lot of work, I do it. Adding the extra element of the camera is alot, you make it look easy. As long as you tell people your rebel canning and to check a recipe, approved canning book, or the extension web site, I feel like your good on whatever you show us. Like you always say, your kitchen, your rules. 😊

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

Definitely!!

[@hilaribenfield3016]

We got a freeze dryer a few months ago. My project this weekend is to freeze dry my beef bone broth, powder it and make your gravy mix with the addition of salt sunce I didn't add any to the broth. Perhaps more broth powder, since I suspect it won't be as concentrated as the commercial stuff! I look forward to all of your videos and have made many of your recipes!

[@rachelbolick]

I love all of your videos but these types of videos are my favorite on your channel. ❤ I think switching up what you make is a good idea so you don’t get tired of the same thing plus it’s always fun to do something different. So switching up from bagels to cinnamon raisin bread is perfect. ❤ Also I’m so glad you gained more subscribers on your channel from your last video. You deserve to have a lot of subscribers, you’re a great youtuber. ❤ I mainly watch all of your videos and not comment but I just wanted to change it up and comment this time. 😊 I love cinnamon rolls it’s one of my favorite breakfasts but I never knew you could make them homemade. ❤

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

I was just testing it out like I said, that’s why I didn’t share it. I just added diced jalapeños and cheddar cheese. I don’t measure. You add the inclusion before your final rise though.

[@DreamingOfAlaska]

Love these restock videos, I'm still learning how to cook more things from scratch. I wanted to see if you could make a video on cooking long grain white rice on the stove top or instant pot. I can't get it right to save my life lol. I rinsed it but it still comes out gummy

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

I linked my favorite recipe in the description box! I follow it and it’s perfect every time. I went years with rice not turning out till I found her recipe! Only thing I do differently when dehydrating it is I don’t add oil. Oils can go rancid when storing.

Room temp

[@SugarBeeFarm]

Soaking beans before canning removes the phytic acid. Soaking also results in a more tender, less grainy end product.

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

Yep, they’ve always been fine for me ❤️

[@marieparks5674]

Wow, you got so much done, you wore me out.

I just subscribed to your channel. I just started my canning journey this past summer and had my first garden grocery store as well. Lol. I'm a rebel canner to with some things. I love your videos. I'm thinking about starting a you tube channel but I'm not very computer savvy so I'm just wandering how hard is it to edit and make the videos? I've been thinking about doing this for several months now but I just wanted to ask around and see how to get started. Can you give me any suggestions or tips?

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

You have to start somewhere. You get better as you go. You learn as you go. Editing just depends on the style of video, but you don’t know if you don’t try. ❤️

[@dawnlanni5195]

Ok🙋🏼‍♀️I have questions.... Lol So prep canning the beans.. After they pressure can are they cooked like canned beans? Bc you didn't cook them or soak them.. And same for the veggies soup mixes...veggies were raw when they went in, are they cooked now or semi cooked. I'm trying to wrap my brain around this. I've canned with my Gramma before(yes GRAMMA that's what I called her don't come for me)😅 but we always prepared and cooked what went in the jars. I'm LOVING your channel, like I said I recently found you and I have a lot of catching up to do! 🩵😋😘

When you go to cook your minute rice, how do you do that? I would love to do this, but I have no idea how to cook the dehydrated rice after.

The same as you would minute rice you buy in store. It does take a couple minutes longer to cook in my opinion, but same other then that. www.thepurposefulpantry.com/diy-instant-rice-with-a-dehydrator/
