Yes, I only trust people with a butter dish on their counter!🤣

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

🤣🤣

[@RadianceRush]

🤣 Haha! It's the best way to have spreadable butter at the ready! My husband introduced me to the idea when we got married! I've never looked back!

[@rs2343-o4e]

Me to.

[@lisabrooks1208]

I have butter out, and my fresh eggs too!

[@EmmtheOriginallyLegal1andOnly]

The $🌳 has Tupperware style knock off "travel style" butter dishes that are great for an emergency Hurricane/fire evacuation bug out bag. They snap together decent enough but more importantly they wont break, ruin your butter and cut you in transit during an emergency. $1.25, come in red, white and blue and they're on shelves NOW in SC/GA area. I cant speak to everywhere but I think they're on the website too.

[@cocacolafiesta]

Great video. I cook and the dehydrate my white rice (and pastas) that just requires placing some in a thrift store thermos with hot water to hydrate. Yes, there are those that ask the question Why? but having my cooked pastas dehydrated will allow for less fuel usage in a time that fuel may be scarce. My husband questions the beef roasts I buy for canning as he thinks we have enough but we never knows how many people may need to be fed besides our immediate family. Being prepared and knowing how to use your pantry foods is a great skill to have.

[@sweezs4874]

A mother knows how to fix a meal to feed her family!!!

[@reesells1617]

Half Asian here 😌 just cover the rice and the steam will loosen it. Also, saute some ginger and garlic paste in the oil before you put the rice in so the flavor actually cooks into the rice (if you have it!) love the ideas!

[@debbiereilly900]

Always leave butter on the counter. 👍👍

[@sandraschick1916]

I LOVE these ideas❣️ I would love more videos like this! 😊

[@patriciahartless2095]

Thank's for your emergency . Food recipes . All three meals looked delicious . You And Family. Have a Wonderful Day .

[@creinicke1000]

I always have butter out.. also have ghee.. and make own ghee since it's so expensive.

[@wandahutchins222]

I just watched this video. Thank you so much for the ideas, I would have never thought about not cooking the rice and pasta in the microwave first. And I don't care how you pronounce vienna as long as you and your family enjoy them. I watch a channel where she says bo lo na instead of bo lo knee, or something like that. It makes life interesting.

[@Sammi_May]

Gotta have butter...like I always say ... butter makes everything better 🥰🥰

[@paulaelves5179]

wow wow love these meal ideas ,and here in england a kitchen is not a kitchen without a butter dish,i also have a matching one for lard,as we english fry a lot with it,baking etc xxx

[@MrPOPSZILLA]

VEE ENNA... sausage. GREAT VIDEO, I WILL BE USING THESE RECIPES, THANKS FOR SHARING!

[@nickeysurratt7413]

Hereford canned beef has gravy already in with the beef. We take a couple cans, warm up shred meat, let cool a bit, roll in corn tortillas, fry in a little oil seam side down, any you have easy beef taquitos. Ps love the video

[@seafoambeachcomb]

I always also keep shelf stable milk handy. Keeps a long time, tastes great. I use it because I don't use enough to buy fresh. Would be great in the instant potatoes along with your butter.

[@mw87675]

Everything looks sooo good. Especially the shredded beef one.

[@shestillinthekitchen]

powdered eggs would work great in this situation

[@XyZ98768]

Great ideas. I'm going to rewatch this with my teens. There have been times when my hubby and I have been an hour away shopping and the electricity has gone out at our house for 3-4hrs. This will give the kids some quick and easy meal ideas to make with the camp stove.

[@janiegoodman6301]

Polish sausage cut and fried with Mac and cheese and peas is really good also

[@angelarogers3137]

Imagine the soup you could make with that beef . Yummy!!

[@MeowMeow-sy2mi]

The hot dog Mac n cheese is something my grandma used to give us just as a regular dinner with those beans in maple syrup too .

[@nanaof792]

I am building my foil pan stock. I use to go camping with my kids when they were younger. Always had different size pans for cooking over the camp fire. We could make anything. I live in Florida so building a stock of the pans to have for hurricane times. I just buy 2 or 3 every month or two. Of course my shelf stable food comes first. I am going to look into a canner for meats and other things to put in my preps.

[@sheriaustin8750]

Fantastic ideas! Dehydrated egg powder would be nice to have on hand. By the way, I keep my butter on the counter too.

[@pinkorchid]

Just now found this. ❤ With the rising cost of groceries, searching for simple meals and pantry meals. This video is still very relevant in 2023. These recipes look fantastic! 🎉

[@bettyadkisson1681]

I was blessed this month's lots of good items but the best was a box 8 brand name spices and others items too one person a month of meals and always greatful too receive them.

[@bettyadkisson1681]

I've bought cans of beef in gravey and instant potato buds and veggies. But the stopped saleing at the dollar stores so I buy the Amish cams of beef,chicken,and Turkey. I just a little flour and water mixed together then add it too the juicy off the meat for gravey and bit of liquid bouquet for taste and color. I get about 10-12 meals from one can. And use it too make a pot pie or shepards pie and beef Manhattan's.

[@audlysimple]

Heyyy! I love that you shared an emergency meal idea! I run out of time often after work and then I have to come up with something random!! This seems so easy to make!

[@eileenhuntoon87]

Tamara, I really enjoy your videos and these soup recipes look delicious.

[@RAM-eb2te]

Former farm girl here... Butter always stays on counter! I can't keep Vienna sausage here... They disappear during midnight snack raids! Lol! I've also used cubed Spam with mac n cheese. And it's always a hit. Have you ever had beef gravy over baked potatoes? We used to when camping.

[@annethompson2212]

I leave my butter out all the time also 😊

[@shirleymorgan9254]

We leave our butter on the counter also, I feel it’s alright to eat it doesn’t taste any different than the butter in the fridge. All the meals looked great.Thank you for sharing.

[@creinicke1000]

I'm on low carb.. and just wanted to let folks know that there are shelf stable cauliflower pkgs similar to the rice PKG used... I do both because hubby is not on low carb and using from pantry is important and I have a lot more rice in pantry.

[@2Beldam]

Yes! We get these too because my dad is diabetic. Walmart has them - “fullgreen” brand. They have broccoli, sweet potato, & mushroom blends too. Only $2.48 a pack

[@relaxedyou4059]

Wow if my life depends on it I'm not going to be low carb

[@debbiereilly900]

Everything looks delicious yummy. Thank you for sharing Tamara have a blessed evening stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤ I'm going to make dinner tonight from prepper pantry. 💕💕💕

[@phyllisbakercoffman8988]

Hey, Tamara 🍁. Depending on the time of year, I plan on using my screened in back porch as my fridge 🤣. My butter will be on my counter! Great ideas 💕

[@DishingDelights]

I just made a mac and cheese with bbq viennas and yours looks way better than mine! This is such a good video, I love how creative you can get with shelf stable meals. I can't wait to see more!

[@barburbec]

I enjoyed this video, lots of good meals. You can coat eggs with mineral oil and make them shelf stable. I have done that and stored them in a cool place for a month with no refrigeration.

[@michellesovereign4564]

I store mine over a month without putting anything on them. Here in the UK even the shops don't keep them in the fridge. Eggs are not meant to be refrigerated at all. The shells are porous and absorb moisture and smells in fridge.

[@barburbec]

​@@michellesovereign4564 ​ Are the eggs in the UK washed? I have heard they are washed here in the US which takes the natural coating off and that is why they are refrigerated or need a coating on them. It's interesting how differently things are done in different places.

[@michellesovereign4564]

@@barburbec I'm so glad you said that because I never knew there was a difference! After looking into it, All of Europe bans egg washing as they believe it helps transfer harmful bacteria to the inner egg. America bans unwashed eggs. In the UK, eggs are typically not refrigerated. … In the UK, Grade A hen eggs may not be washed because the process is thought to “aid the transfer of harmful bacteria like salmonella from the outside to the inside of the egg,” according to the Food Safety Authority of Ireland. Mystery solved. Many sources still state they are better off not refrigerated in either place but now I understand your mineral oil application. ☺

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

Yes, that’s why our store bought eggs have to be refrigerated. Because they are washed. If you have farm fresh eggs they don’t have to be refrigerated, because they don’t wash them.

[@michellesovereign4564]

@@SouthernWifeEverydayLife thank you, makes sense now lol

[@jen9774]

I could just eat a bowl of mashed potatoes with a load of butter and a little salad cream. I keep butter out too until summer sets in then l have to store it in the fridge as it just becomes a dish of oil. Love your meals.

[@courtneybashamfranklin9193]

I really enjoyed this type of video! Everything looked really good. Thank you!

[@RadianceRush]

Oh this is a GREAT video! Thank you so much for sharing ideas for shelf stable meals!! I think a lot of people struggle with ideas for shelf stable meals. I know I'm one of them! lol. Keep up the good work! Also just FYI you can by dehydrated eggs they have a shelf life of about 10 years. They're a bit pricey but might be something to consider. Augason Farms sells them on Amazon. God bless.

Wonderful ideas thanks for the share 😀.

Truly enjoyed this video. Great meals. They all look so delicious. 🤤😋🤤

[@yvonnewallace7567]

You can’t beat Keystone canned meats. Another decent canned meat is corned beef. I used about half a can mixed in canned seasoned green beans (Glory brand) and canned potatoes (diced with peel on). All available at Kroger. The other part of the can was good mixed in canned sauerkraut. It’s good on top of mashed potatoes.

[@JoAnnCarpenter815]

I use butter in my butter dish too! Thanks for the ideas Tamara, great video!

[@The_WK]

I haven't finished the video yet but these ideas are brilliant. Thank you for sharing!

[@primejennrodriguez6354]

The fried rice would be a good side dish. Add your eggs to it. Then for protein cut up some boneless chicken add a little soy sauce about a third of jar of orange marmalade and a quarter to a half cup of your favorite barbecue sauce and cook until chicken is done. My family calls it fake Chinese.

[@mollypurcellmealprep]

Great meals! They look great and love cooking out of the pantry :)

Well, you just gave me a good 3 meals in a bag for my pantry. THHANK YOU! Love that last meal there, I have ALL the ingredients for it, I got to try it. I know it would taste really cool with some butter! Oh man, at 6AM you have me hungry for dinner!

[@sassyherbgardener7154]

It's Vee-enna sausages, like Vienna, Austria. I was anxious to see how this would come out, but it looks really good! May have to try that. I have tons of shelf stable meal kits, but not that one. Thanks!

[@danluther1741]

Greatly enjoyed this & took notes!! You seem like a very sweet lady!!

I cook almost everything in a old school Aroma rice cooker. I do stir fry in it, bacon, taco meat,sloppy joes,scrambled eggs,macaroni, hard boiled eggs,pan fried shrimp and a bunch more.If you can do it in a skillet or a pot or dutch oven you can do it in a rice cooker.Any canned meat would also wok great.

[@J_Chap]

Thank you so much for sharing these recipes! I've been looking for easy pantry meals and I just added a couple!

[@aliciawenz9602]

You mentioned that if you were without power you wouldn't have refrigeration for your eggs...actually, I have chickens and do not refrigerate my eggs. Because I do not wash them and this allows me to keep them on my counter until I use them.

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

Yes, that’s what I said. If you have fresh eggs you could add them to your recipes because they don’t have to be refrigerated..

[@lavernejones4471]

In the veggie Mac you could use a canned cheese product if you don't like Velveeta. Have t been able to eat Velveeta since they took all of the milk and cheese out of it

[@carolcooper881]

Those meals looked good. I don't eat corn but I would eat green peas instead. TFS!

[@barbforbis1260]

You can use powdered scrambled eggs in the stirfry, tastes better than plain powdered eggs. Ive used them when running out of eggs, also mixed with one regular egg to make eggs go farther and taste even better.

[@shirleyshirley4188]

Spam fried rice is pretty good. Make sure to get the low sodium Spam! Even that is to salty. Spam can be used in place of ham and bacon and be pretty tasty. And, you can cook the beef in BBQ sauce and put it over biscuits from a baking mix.

[@margueritekinchen6558]

For the Jasmine rice, it is a microwaveable bag. Squeeze the bag a few times to break it up, tear off one of the corners, and then pop it in the microwave for 90secs. That will make it easier to work with. Cuts down on your time in the pan and also you will not have to take the effort to break it apart. Less likely to get everywhere that way also. Hope that helps.

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

These meals are emergency meals, so in a case of an emergency you won’t have a microwave. That’s why I didn’t use it in this video.

[@leesmindfuljourney]

I wanna try these out, thank you! I subbed.

[@markloechner9409]

Thanks for the ideas. I was just sitting here wondering if spam could be substitute for the beef. That keystone beef is kinda pricey lately. Guess I will have to try it. Thanks for the ideas 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing these! Olive oil would be MUCH better. Vegetable oil and seed oils are the worst things you can put in your body, along with margarines and other fake spreads. (Some doctors say even worse than sugar!) Avocado oil and coconut oil are also healthy oils, along with the olive oil.

How do you know when condiment package is out of date? Just don’t think they were created to have a long shelf life.

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

Some have dates, some don’t. I have a working prepper pantry, so we use the food. Restock it as needed. But expiration dates don’t bother me. It’s just a “best by” date doesn’t mean it is bad.
