Make sure your potatoes are all dry before you store them to make sure they last longer. When they come off the refrigerated truck they can get some condensation on them.

[@RowesRising]

Thank you!! I opened them up and split into two open boxes to dry them because I had heard of someone’s spoiling from the moisture. Mine were definitely condensing. 🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@SDP5230]

Beautiful and inspirational words. Thank you for them!

[@katescaringcorner6765]

I love that you talk about allowing someone to help you. When you have a servant's heart it is a difficult thing to let someone help you, But I learned that when you are in need of help and allow someone to have the joy that you feel when you help other's, that is a giving gift also. That gives them a sense of a source of worth which is one of the base needs of human nature.

[@RowesRising]

This is so true. Thank you for saying all that. 🌻🌻🌻

[@Stormywillowhomestead_]

I’m glad you’re feeling better friend. That broth looks delicious.😊

For quick oats, just use regular rolled oats and whiz them a little in your food processor. That's all quick oats are...smaller pieces. That way you can save money and only buy regular rrolled oats.😊

[@RowesRising]

I didn’t have a food processor when I placed this order. My husband bought me a replacement though. The vitamix blender didn’t work to make quick oats- just made sharp thick chunks😅

[@tammybenadventures4839]

I bought my Brazil nuts from Costco. I’m trying to eat less junk during the week days. So for “in between meals” I snack on the nuts and just a couple fill me up. I also love buying my oats from Azure and recently I got some flour from a restaurant supply store. I spent today putting things away in Mylar bags and containers. I love watching you organize and store everything, really encourages me to do the same. Nice haul and thanks for always sharing these tips. 😊 Also that soup you canned looks amazing!!!

[@RowesRising]

Thank you so much for watching!! The pazole verde soup is so good!! I ate another bowl tonight. I was hoping to make this video a pantry restock but I can’t pick anything up right now. So it was bare minimum. 🌻🌻🌻

Thank you so much Emma Louise🌻 I hope you get lots of snow!!! We typically have snow from November to April, sometimes into June!! It snowed one time in the 4 years we lived in Suffolk- it was exciting!!

[@gardengrowinmawmaw8642]

If you put the rolled oats in your food processor, and barely chop them, you are almost making quick oats. This may help use them up in the protein balls.

[@RowesRising]

Thanks for the tip!! I used my blender and it didn’t work as well as a food processor would. I just got a new food processor so I will try it!! 🌻🌻🌻

Acute on chronic pancreatitis is no joke. Glad you have some answers so now you can work on managing your condition.

[@RowesRising]

It’s been absolute hell. It’s been going on for two years and I have been begging my providers to help me. This last flare was the worst and I thought I might die from a stomach explosion. It was so bad and I went to the ER and figured out that’s what’s been happening. Recurring acute pancreatitis

We ordered that soda stream through your link for husband's Christmas gift. I keep forgetting to mention that Heidi at Rain Country Homestead has a video or videos on how her and her husband got themselves off thyroid medication. She does a lot of videos of natural remedies and food preserving and living prepared. I've learned a lot of herb stuff through her. She's in the PNW too but more north than you in WA.

[@RowesRising]

I will check her out. I have hope although I’ve been told by every holistic provider it’s unlikely after 16 years of daily thyroid meds that I likely won’t be able to get off them. Challenge accepted!! I have tried everything diets and lifestyle, natural and holistic means and am just now getting my dose lowered. So there is some hope. My thyroid is very “grainy” and dead from hashimotos and it just doesn’t work to make the hormones. I wish I had more information 16 years ago I may not be in this boat now. It’s exacerbated by more autoimmune diseases and the pancreatitis I’ve been battling. Sometimes it doesn’t feel fair but I get over it and buck up. 🥴🌻🌻🌻

[@deborahstewart2322]

You are amazing I pray for you! I have been diabetic for years, dropped some weight and do not have to take insulin any more but still have to watch bread and sweets.

[@RowesRising]

We are in this together!! I’m on a low carb primarily carnivore diet. I had cow dairy for a week but I’m quitting that again. Just a lot of stewed meat, a little fruit and veg.

[@MFV77]

I just started taking Brazil nuts again today for similar reasons. Too funny.

[@RowesRising]

Yummy!! I think I want to try some recipes with them. 🌻🌻🌻

[@zoieangel1234]

Hi Katie. I am glad you are making progress in your diagnosis. It sucks to be unwell and not know what’s going on. I am keep you and Arron in my thoughts. I loaded up on soft white wheat berries from Azure, they are $10 for 25 lbs right now. I can’t handle 50 lb bags so stick with 25lb but I at least know I can make biscuits and tortillas as well as quick breads at an amazing price.

[@RowesRising]

Thank you Zoie🌻 I really want whole Einkorn since they have it back in stock after being out a year. I have buckets and buckets of red and white wheat berries I stocked last year. We are thankful to have an abundance. Right now. 🌻🌻🌻

[@klevesque]

I’m doing a Brazil nut a day plus 1/4 tsp of dried kelp every other day to help keep my Hashimotos in check. 😊 Being dairy free and gluten free also helps. Gluten, dairy, and soy should be avoided with Hashimotos Hypothyroidism.

[@RowesRising]

You are so right!! I’m GF, and typically cow DF, Since I’m trying to gain weight back I’m eating more animal fats and proteins. Aaron has been cooking for me and he doubles his meals to feed me. This week I experimented with dairy. Why do I do this to myself? I know it flares me pretty badly- maybe why my back is hurting so bad these past few days? I’m over it, so I’m back to dairy free today. It’s just not worth the extra inflammation😢 I can tolerate goat cheese so I’m going to try this same wrap recipe with goat yogurt and goat cheese. 🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@klevesque]

@@RowesRising I’ve never tried goat cheese before. I don’t dare. Lol

[@kittyrichards9915]

Raw Pumpkin seeds (pepitas) are also good for the thyroid.

[@RowesRising]

@kittyrichards9915 oh good! Been having them on my kale salad. I know I should avoid cruciferous veg but I do love it so. 🌻🌻🌻

[@RowesRising]

@klevesque it takes a bit getting used to. I have had to be dairy free for all my babies while nursing them. So I learned to love goat cheese. I can’t do goat milk straight up. 😆

[@veronicaclark3180]

I used to live in VA with a drop location 20 minutes away. Now I’m in eastern NC and the nearest drop is 2 hours away. We will only order every 4-6 month and just make the drive. We have quite a few favorites from Azure. So sorry for the health struggles y’all are going through. Thank you for your encouraging words.

[@RowesRising]

I miss Virginia. Our families are there in the Shenandoah Valley along the i81 corridor

[@veronicaclark3180]

Yes that’s where we lived! My husband used to deliver in the area your family lives. We were in the Dayton drop zone for Azure. It’s beautiful there, but for us we were priced out of the housing market and it’s much colder than we like. We will go up and visit our sons who both live in Harrisonburg. I’ll go to the Factory Antique Mall when I’m in town!

[@RowesRising]

@veronicaclark3180 how do you like NC? One of my brothers lives in Raleigh/Durham area. It’s amazing how different the weather is in NC compared to VA. I remember the ice storms, snowstorms and frigid temps. It’s cold here too. We will not be moving back to VA for that reason- the cold is really painful for me. I love the snow and winter but it hurts to the bone the past few years. 🥶🥶

[@veronicaclark3180]

@@RowesRisingwe love NC! We used to live in Fayetteville before living in VA for 3 years and we are now in New Bern which we love! We aren’t too far from the beach and we love that there’s always something going on around here and the downtown is really nice. We’ve found some good sources from local farmers which was a concern with leaving the Shenandoah Valley. I love that we are close enough (5 hrs) to visit family in VA but live in a warmer climate and much more affordable area. My husband was in the navy, and an army brat, and now we don’t live far from several marine corps bases.

That snow is pretty but watching you drive in it makes me nervous. 😂 We get absolutely no snow and if we did no one would leave the house.😂

Aaron was driving and it always makes me nervous!! I time lapsed so it looked faster but we were going sooo slow. We have new snow tires and 4x4 so we always take a snowy drive first big snow of the year. I do not drive well in the snow- I cannot be trusted behind the wheel in bad weather🤣

Ive just discovered ur channel. Ur soooo knowledgeable. Do u have a video about ur pancreatitis? I had an acute bout with it when my gallbladder " went out " & Ive never been quite right since. Drs say i "should" be fine, but im not! I was wondering if u have shared the cause of ur pancreatitis, ur home care and nutrition on helping to stay healthy, whilst dealing w pancreatic issues. Thanks so much for all u have shared. Btw, ur encapsulated placenta short was HILARIOUS, ur eye roll and that music went together so well 😂

[@RowesRising]

Thank you for being here!! I have been keeping a “health journal” with videos and charting my cycles- we determined I have been having bouts of recurring acute pancreatitis for 4 years! I have a GI appointment in October and that’s “urgent.” It does seem to happen around ovulation and a week before my period- we are investigating possible endometriosis in my pancreas but that’s very rare. There were days I would get out my car and curl up on the rocks unable to move for hours until it subsided. I was told last year that it “must be celiacs.” So I did the appropriate thing and got strict with GF. But I was still having random episodes until in November when I thought my gut was exploding- every time it feels like this- but this time, I decided it was not celiacs and that I needed to get checked asap so I landed in the ER the night before thanksgiving. I was shocked it was pancreatitis!! Totally not on my radar at all thinking it was a bad celiacs gut. I have hashimotos. So not sure if that plays a role. I used to drink alcohol. But I have been 100% sober for 2 years and 3 months still having recurring bouts of severe upper abdominal pain. I do notice it flares when I eat refined grains with heavy fats and sugar. So I try to limit the 3 together in large doses. No more GF cranberry tarts for me😅 I hate saying this and sounding like a victim- but my providers have gas lit me for years and I’m so fed up with the “sick care” system. I begged for answers pleading and crying in multiple doctors offices and they all just told me I was an exhausted mom. I needed more sleep. I needed a diet change- I eat healthy already GF DF and Whole Foods from scratch mostly- so it’s has been beyond frustrating to suffer and be told it’s because I’m a tired mom. I gave birth at home- I know pain. I know normal pain. And what I’m suffering is not normal. So- I treat myself at home and unless I’m vomiting and have a fever- I just stay home and get through it curled up in a ball when it hits. It also causes my back and neck to go out which is a whole other set of chronic pain from my motocross/extreme sports and partying days. I have prescription opioids I avoid using and save for the really bad bouts, and I have RSO 50/CBD 50/TCH to help with pain. I also eat gummies to help but really they just help me disassociate from the pain- it’s still there but I don’t care as much if that makes sense. Way better than opioid addiction and I live in Oregon where it’s legal. I just saw a rheumatologist to rule out Scleroderma and other rheumatic disease after a positive ANA test. I do have a few immune issues where I don’t make immunoglobulin of subclass 4 to fight certain upper body infections, and another new issue the rheumatologist discovered with my immune system being weak- but I just saw the labs online and haven’t talked to him yet. So I’ll share all that in a video. I go to pain management next Monday if the weather cooperates- it’s over a mountain pass 2 hours away and. It’s supposed to snow all week. 😅I’m going for my back but I’m going to discuss pain management options for recurring pancreatitis too if they offer it. But- I’m fed up with western medicine and I prefer natural means. I use allopathic to get my information and then I make informed choices for my treatment choosing exercises, diet, sleep, to help manage symptoms as well as some alternative therapies like chiro, plant medicine to understand my role in all this, etc. I’m searching for deep healing of a lot of childhood/adolescence trauma that I believe has caused all these ails. THE BODY KEEPS SCORE- there is a book about it. Thanks for being here and I’ll try to share a video about all of this. I need to set aside a day to do it. 🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@RowesRising]

Thank you for sharing that. Any tips are appreciated. It’s very helpful to hear other people’s experiences so I’m not playing the experiment game. I have figured a low fat Mediterranean style diet may be best. Mostly plant based. I’m going to try plain salted chicken and salmon see how those do. Yesterday I deboned a chicken and made broth so I’ll be on a mostly liquid diet for a few days because I’m still flaring up. I have noticed I can eat cooked vegetables with little to no pain. Yesterday I tried rice and that’s a no go for now. Lentils and beans? Perhaps. I’m taking b vitamins for the lack of protein at the moment and I’m on some strong OTC digestive enzymes daily. Still having pain as of yesterday. 🌻🌻🌻

I supplement iodine and selenium. I eat diet primarily of animal fats and proteins, fruit, and some veg. No grains, no cow dairy- although I had some earlier this week to remind myself I can’t eat it (I tolerate goats milk products) REAL Salted food and water. Intermittent fasting. 8+ hours sleep. Walking 9-15 miles a week outside. I also take synthroid and have had a tough time getting off of it and maintaining a healthy thyroid function. 🌻🌻🌻 Everyone’s journey looks different.
