Have you ever dabbled with the freeze drying method of preserving food and if so, what do you think about it. I have been considering it because in a lot of natural disasters potable water isn't necessarily available and with the freeze-dried food whether beans or fruit or veggies they can be eaten as is.

I absolutely love your advice and guidance. You are like a dear friend, who imparts skills we should have learned from our elders. As an adult, I had to teach myself skills I hadn’t learned, but then took a few years off to go to school once my homeschooled children were adults, rather than becoming skilled as a homemaker. I loved learning in college, but my eyes and mind have been opened to all the many things I could have learned without spending so much money. My daughters bought me your book and I am working on becoming a homemaker at 65 years old. Thank you and God bless.

We have a very small property, (less than 1/4 acre)which we make the very best of. As well as veg, we grow a lot of fruit on it. The land was pretty cheap because it had a high sand content, and was bare of vegetation, (except for weeds!). For the first few years I got leaves and compost from neighbors and grocery stores. - Blueberries are the easiest of all the fruits to harvest; just pick 'em and freeze 'em - they love acidic soil, so use your coffee grounds to fertilize. I get free coffee grounds from coffee shops on my town trips. If you don't have a pick up truck, line a good, heavy box to throw their bagged grinds in. - Strawberries are pretty easy to harvest & freeze. For easy harvest, I have a sturdy old stool I drag along, (I'm in my 70s). -Fruit trees are all grafted onto DWARF root stock. Those smaller trees produce an amazing amount of fruit, but you can actually access all of it without climbing up on an extension ladder to harvest or prune. I got my trees for only $10.00 each because it was late in the season, and the trees were stressed, so I had to watch them very carefully for pests, and I lovingly babied them for the first two years, and now they're as healthy as if they had always been robust. I had a choice to get food or non-food producing plants and our lot is now healthy, pretty. Since we concentrate the compost around the plants we made paths between and around them - no lawn mower!

[@dumbbunnie123]

I grind those little canned hams and make sandwiches spread with it. (Add mayonnaise and little sweet relish a dab of mustard) and I also use leftover mashed potatoes ,an egg a tiny bit of flour to help hold the patty together mixed in the ground ham to make ham patties...both are very good at stretching the food to feed more for less.

[@kerrylynnparsons7879]

I live in a four-season climate in the country in Canada. I started buying pantry items in August to have all the extras I need by the end of October so I am not hard-pressed to get out in our full winter months. I keep a healthy supply of herbal teas. I also bought powdered whole milk so I can make a half and half blend of the powdered and the liquid milk,.I keep a good supply of tuna and salmon tins on hand--so versatile amd shelf stable. 🥰🎶❤️🇨🇦

[@nancyspringston8547]

Hi Mary, I have been listening to you for months, and some of your vlogs multiple times. I have spent the past 4-5 months building a Prepper Pantry. I have put inventory onto my iPad, but now thinking that I want to transfer to a binder using your prepared forms. I need to find your forms and print off a set. There are 6 people, 3 generations,in our home right now and I am thinking a binder accessible to everyone might be helpful. I watch multiple preppers/homesteaders. We have a large home, on 1/3 acre in the Rocky Mountains. We have had a small kitchen garden the past 3 years, and have expanded each year….and have already begun things inside even though we are still in full-blown Winter here: but Spring is trying to move in…we get snow here until May. So, thank you for your wonderful teaching. You are easy to listen to, and very practical. We are fresh/frozen food people and have lots of freezer space, but not enough. Definitely Traditional food lovers. I have learned to make bone broth and desperately working at less food waste. Hard with so many people, teens to seniors. Our son-in-law and daughter are very good at taking left-overs for lunches which is good. I have commercially canned foods in the prepper pantry in our storage room in our basement, as well as rice, oats, flours, chocolate chips, dried fruits and commercially canned fruits, etc. I have wonderful premade soup mixes. I have stocks and both canned and powdered, etc. Lots of herbs and spices in kitchen and extras in the prepper pantry. Now, I am building up the 30 year freeze dried kinds of foods. All three forms will keeps us making the same favorite meals we enjoy…just from fresh/frozen, to commercially canned (including canned chicken, corned beef, tuna, a little beef (never used it before but at least something should fresh beef not be available, or affordable). I also have low salt Spam, and canned ham. I do not have any freeze dried meats as they are very expensive and truly hoping that we will not need that. We are not hunters, but we could be. We have lots of friends who are, so we have agreed to barter should it come to that: I can make breads, and we are expanding our kitchen garden to potatoes (second year and have them started inside right now). Hoping to build a green house soon. So, if we can have room for growing “salad foods” and plenty of herbs year around will be awesome. And, will gladly share/barter. Anyway….thank you as you have helped me the most. It is a lot of work but thankful that I am big into cooking and gardening. Getting rid of “stuff” to make room for food. Praying it will not be needed. And, if not, then we will simply incorporate the commercially canned foods into our daily life. I do believe we will leave the 30-year kinds of foods where they are…..just in case needed. My husband and I will not life that much longer: 82 and 77, but our kids and grands will. So, we will leave them with some “insurance” for the future if we are blessed to not need them in our life time. So, off to find and print your lovely forms and set up a binder all can see and use.

Dear Mary, since finding your channel we are cleaning up our act, moving toward a traditional foods kitchen! Dry milk was a huge discovery!! We stopped buying commercial coffee creamer (I was shocked to realize the ingredients in it 😳) and also wanted to have a prepper pantry milk option. The non-fat dry milk is surprisingly delicious in coffee!! We bought a big box for the prepper pantry but we're using it daily for coffee too! Thank you so much - I continue to learn so much from you!! ❤

My husband is a hunter and I used to be pretty picky about organ meats, but now I view it as a challenge to use as much of the animal as possible. We eat the organs, we eat the meat, I make bone broth, and my husband is learning how to tan the hides. It's amazing to me when we are done how little of the animal is left over. You have been such a great part of this journey by teaching about bone broth. Edited to add: The tuna pie recipe you shared is one of my families favorites and we have in on a constant rotation 💗

As a migraine sufferer, the excedrine and a cold soda made with sugar was one of my go to reliefs! I used to use a Dubin Dr Pepper, but it worked so well! I think it is a mix of getting the caffine and sugar into your system from the soda as the meds break down. The only cold just helped me deal with the pain, rather than putting a cold wash cloth on my head.

[@emmasurf8109]

thankfully I don't have them any more, but you're right. If I could catch it early, a Coke, Excedrin, and if possible a dark room for 15 minutes always worked.

I'm happy to find your channel! I loved the sections on pasta and rice. In 2019 my niece and I took a 3 week trip to Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy. One of the things I planned were a few inexpensive B&B stays with kitchenettes. I packed garlic salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Right when I got to Italy I bought some olive oil and in various villages we visited we would buy local pasta. I would use those few ingredients to make what I called "peasant pasta" for simple, affordable meals throughout our trip. These were fun memories for us and the pasta was a simple nutritious meal. 🙂 I also here on my little hobby farm like to do my version of Golden Rice. It's white rice, a couple of my girl's eggs, turmeric and some dried seaweed. It's been a healthy, inexpensive lunch on many days. I look forward to following more of your wealth of knowledge!

You mentioned using the Coca Cola for settling the stomach. An old fashioned remedy for nausea is to sip some straight cola syrup. I keep that in my emergency supplies. One time when I had to take antibiotics without water on an empty stomach prior to surgery, I asked to use a sip of cola syrup to coat the stomach. The surgeon had never heard of it but gave me the go-ahead...and it worked like a charm!! That could be helpful for those of us that don't have access to the cane sugar cola.

[@eclairtreo]

YES, that has always been our family remedy. Cola syrup is still available at the drugstores. Love Mexican Cokes. So glad they are still making it.

When I get those blinding headaches, I take 2 Tylenol and 1 Advil with a room temperature Coke. The does help settle the stomach and the caffeine helps address the constricted blood vessels. The best preventative measure is to drink barrels of water each day. Dehydration is the culprit for a lot of headaches but when a migraine breaks through, I find the Coke does help.

I hate when my friends are sick and drink regular ginger ale or lemon-lime soda to settle their stomach.

[@crystald3655]

The "regular" soda helps quite a bit with nausea. Diet will just make it worse due to the artificial sweenters that are actually pretty toxic. Also, interesting to know about the corn syrup as I've often described myself as getting " sugar drunk" when I have certain things.

[@lovinglife3954]

@@crystald3655 yes that’s a great way to describe it, sugar drunk. I had to quit sodas over 20 years ago for this reason. Now there are many “no HFCS” sodas that are made with real sugar. I can drink those, though I still don’t drink soda very often.

Just needed to say Thank You ! I already prep pretty deeply BUT (😁) you are a great resource and reminder Not to let things slide ! Inventories , 4Corners storage, Menus, .... You keep everything Fresh in my mind and you keep me from sinking into normalcy bias and over spending on the Wrong (unhealthy or boxed) foods.

[@MarysNest]

You are so welcome!

Mary! I haven’t gotten to listen to this particular video in depth yet (I’ve just had it playing quietly while I cook and eat before the baby wakes up), but I just had to comment…I was SO happy to see what you you have in the background if this video! I’m going to share this with my mom, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law; they’ll appreciate seeing the all those Catholic things as well! 🥰

[@uqox]

Oxtail. A very traditional and very inexpensive cut of meat across several cultures. Huge in Jamaican, Central American, and Carribiane cultures. High-end restaurants started using it, and now it is painfully expensive Real shame. Thank you for this informative and helpful video.

[@reenyny9502]

Massively expensive in NY

[@kaylawatts6586]

I just preordered your cookbook coming out in August. I can’t wait ❤️❤️

[@MarysNest]

Yay! Thank you!

[@heatherfisher4756]

I’m lucky enough to work where we get a 25% discount on one transaction once at the end of the year. I save up and do a MASSIVE shopping trip and try to stock up enough to last us until the following big shopping trip. I still keep my eye out for sales during the whole year tho. I do buy a lot of certain things at a time doing it this way but then chances are decent that I won’t have to buy more for a whole year or more. Let me tell you how much this came in handy in 2020 and seeing first hand how people were acting over toilet paper! We literally had to have several associates guard the pallets as they were being stocked 😳. I didn’t have to worry tho because I always STAY stocked up on things like that. By the time I needed to restock my home some of the craziness had died down 🙌.

[@MarysNest]

This is fantastic!!

[@princessborealis542]

You can find dried beef at the 1.25 store and I love creamed chipped beef on both toast and mashed potatoes :)

I get Migraines and struggle with nausea on a regular basis. I find that sipping unsweetened good quality Black Tea helps a lot.

[@bonniebon7335]

I had problems with headaches like this until we learned that my neck was broken. Installation of hardware and plates helped tremendously. That being said, what I learned is that caffeine boosts the properties of some types of pain killers. Eventually, I stoped using the over the counter products (and also mfg opioids) and relied upon poppy seed tea which contains all of the pain ingredients used in those OTC products. They add caffeine to one of the main opioid pills for this reason. Add a sprinkling of coffee grounds to the seeds within your steeping container or baggie to boost the pain relieving properties. Just fyi, poppy seed tea is not regulated and safe to use.

[@estriestrazi]

It’s not the sugar it’s the extra caffeine. As a migraine sufferer I do take prescription meds that said, the meds are basically the same thing with 1 added ingredient. You can use 2 extra strength Tylenol and 1 Nodoz with Coke (any caffeinated soda). You can also use 2 Midol with Coke, Pepsi or Dr.Pepper. Afterward get in the hottest shower you can tolerate and breathe the steam through your nose. For the nausea under any circumstances really I use Tazo Zen tea with 2 medallions of fresh ginger and honey to sweeten. It works great. (If you blend teas you can make your own. Look up the ingredients on the box). Otherwise, I’ll go for the old stand by Canada Dry ginger ale.

You truly are a national treasure..such a blessing

Oh my goodness!! You are SO sweet!! ThNk you!! Love, Mary

[@carolkauer1647]

Thank you Mary for sharing your knowledge and talents!

[@lisawatson3467]

I love sardines straight from the can. I like to add spicy mustard or regular mustard on top. My grandparents always made salmon patties and I would eat them up. So delicious. My dad use to make a cream tuna on toast when I was young. It was can tuna, can green peas, flour, milk salt and pepper cooked. Then would pour over toast for a meal. Mary what’s your take on the Pink Himalayan Salt from the Dollar Tree? It says it’s all 100% natural.

[@eileenalholinna5310]

I love creamed tuna! I make it every once in a while!!

[@jeanwoodall1523]

Thanks for sharing. I only get headaches when I haven't eaten anything in time. Mostly happens at work. I do sometimes get motion sickness. Healing Scents Anti Nausea/Motion Sickness inhaler helps for sudden cases. Ginger products help with nausea. A sea band also helps but it requires placing on the right spot which is past the wrist. I mostly drink water with a splash of cranberry juice. I drink one coffee or sweet iced tea per day. I also drink Water Kefir and Kombucha. May be closer to getting a place for the three of us. Found some rent-to-own homes with affordable monthly payments. Just have to find one near transportation to work.

[@paulaheady8990]

Used to mix half powdered milk with half whole milk. No one knew the difference and saved $

[@williammaurer9450]

Excellent video, going to have to watch it in stages. And probably more than once, LOL. TY. You know your stuff, you're my "go to" channel for 100% reliable, varied and expansive body of food prepping knowledge and info, you're the best!

[@carolhamilton5164]

I don't know if you realize that baking powder has corn in it. My husbands worst allergy is corm and you can make baking powder with 2 parts cream of tarter and 1 part baking soda. I am glad you know about the Mexican soda. Many Mexican products can be found without corn where most regular brands contain corn. Unfortunately, Goya now puts corn in their bouillon where they didn't used to.

[@conniechidester2407]

Also Dollar Tree sells boxed milk that typically has about 8 months shelf life. It comes in non fat, low fat, and whole.

[@greenfoxgaming6721]

Another educational and enjoyable video presented in a way that just about anyone can relate… whether a novice or an experienced homemaker. Thank-you. ❤

[@LetsTryThatDIY]

Thank you for this detailed, excellent video. I'm nearing retirement and am absolutely loving the information you're providing. It's really helping me get interested in planning and preparing as I head for a fixed income. I truly appreciate you and all the effort that goes into making these videos.

[@nancyevans4942]

The old Frugal Gourmet books feature many of the "peasant foods" Mary is talking about in this video. Interesting to read.

[@shannonmccoy5598]

I thought I was cooking "homemade " until I started learning from you. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. By the way, homemade bone broth---Game Changer!

[@susandorry6149]

I know the value of food, and the corner store knew I didn't have much, and I think they knew and they would offer me bologna ends for less than 1/2 price, I know how to save and you are teaching me new things, Thank you, I'm good now but I know about making food last. Thank you again for the tips

Hi Ms. Lori 💞! In my Mom's words: You have the patience of a Saint 😊💖! I enjoyed your video VERY MUCH! My Grandma & my Mom's Meat Patty Recipe is mine 🥰. Sauteed Onion in Butter. After it cools, Milk is added; enough to make slices of white bread softened. Then, one egg is added, the Ground Beef, Ground Pork, & Ground Veal (sometimes, Ground Beef only), S & P to taste. Can't get much simpler than that, right 😊. No Gravy, just the juice in pan from the Meat cooked in Butter (LOTS OF BUTTER 😁😁😋😋). I tweak their Recipe - Worcestershire Sauce & Ketchup are added😁. Your Dinner looked YUMMMMIE 😋! The Meat Patties were pretty w/the Colored Peppers. Shredded Potatoes remind me of Potato Pancakes, a Childhood FAVORITE!! Ketchup is a MUST, SOUR CREAM is GREAT (or w/both) on them/dipped in. Some desire APPLESAUCE, all are delicious😋👍. I SO enjoyed the Stories from the Book that Mr. Brown read. Thank you both!!!!!! I enjoyed EVERY MINUTE w/y'all 🥰🥰👍👍👍! Have a MAGICAL Weekend. TYFS.

Stewed fruit is called compot, and instead of water we use Kosher sweet wine. You can can it also.

I make my own nut butters in my Vitamix. It's very simple and you don't get all the oil on top when you make it yourself and put it straight into the refrigerator!!

Roasted Soy Beans can be ground and used as a peanut butter substitute.

I haven't listened to the whole video yet, but KNOW i will enjoy every minute! I just from an RV to a house. I will be setting up my 4 corners. I have a freezer and i used it while in the RV (It was outside!), but will have better access to it to be able to use it much more efficiently. Love your downloads. Thanks for all you give of yourself.

[@chrishirst5389]

Hi Mary, in my younger years I would get migraines also. It would go away after I vomited the pain was so bad. I haven't had those for a long time but if I'm dehydrated or had to much chocolate or sugar I may get a headache. I never take over the counter medicine or other medicine. I do keep peppermint essential oil on hand and rub a dab on my temples and it goes away. Or and try adding salt to water to get rehydrated faster if that's the issue. (Keep oil finger away from eye, always). Thanks for being so sweet and kind.❤

[@christinabeargie6584]

I used to be able to find cola syrup at my local pharmacy- it has the cane sugar and a bit of caffeine, but is concentrated and not carbonated. You would take it by pouring it over a little bit of ice. I haven't looked for it in a long time, but it was my go-to when I experienced terrible nausea, without having to have a whole bubbly soda.

[@ravenlaughs9757]

They have small soda/sparkling water machine less than 100$ available at target, best buy, Amazon be well worth the expense and add your own fruit mixes and what ever sugars one prefers.

[@jeaninebunt9739]

My dad taught me to the same thing with prices. As well as noticing where you can get the most for your money when shopping.

Jenny Can Cook has a great recipe for chocolate cake that uses no eggs and no milk and no butter. It's very good and hard to mess it up.
