I'm Amanda. I'm a wife, mother and a homesteader at heart. I've always been drawn to living more sustainably, and learning new skills to help make that happen. I share skills I've learned, skills I'm trying to learn and how we progress on this journey as a family to live more simply and mindfully. Thank you for watching!

I hope you enjoy this video, I decided to do it just a little different with no talking or voice over. The only meal you don't see is our pizza night on Saturday, Jan 11. But you will see my son eating some as leftovers one night, and my daughter ate scrambled eggs. :) Enjoy!

Our Azure Standard Order: Small and Mighty
I read that if you freeze pre ground flour for a week, it kills the bugs/eggs. So then after a week you can shelf-store in airtight container? Thus, freeing up freezer space?
What’s the difference between the 100 and 200?
I'm so glad I've watched your video, I've made Kefir & yoghurt cheese for years, but really wanted to make a hard cheese. Other people kept saying about a cheese cave to age them & I'm so glad to hear I can vacuum pack them & pop them in my normal fridge.
I love that I get so many ideas from you because we cook the same way. Also, Marley is seriously my favorite. Our Pup is the SAME WAY! All the Jingles all the Time. HA!
You could freeze dry some and take it on your hikes during the summer.
I chop up my cabbage and lput it in the freezer overnight and it is easier to manage to cook..
About and inch above rubber band raise and a nicer yeast smell.
"Ewwwww I can see it's guts" how cute. Loved it. Thanks for sharing your meals & family with us.
Bon appetit! Hehehe, some nice cozy meals Amanda! Your daughter is so funny and precious at the same time. 💚
What kind of cheese did you top the casserole with?
Mozzarella
We buy the corn chips every month. Buy the Party size and it is cheaper!
I so enjoy your little co-stars. 😆
You could still transfer half to smaller dish & freeze. It only takes one more dish..
I love to bake a chicken..my favorite and leftovers can be made in a different way 🥘
Which version of Redmond salt do you use in your wooden container? I went on the website and there are a lot of options…
I use the fine salt regularly (that’s what is in my wood salt cellar). I have the course as well, that I use for brines or curing meat. But the fine and flavored salts are my daily go-to. Thank you!
@ thanks so much! I love your channel!
-19°. Feels like temp of -49°>. Good days for cozy food! I'm
Wow, tomato impressive!!!
I love cabbage casserole! My mom used to make all the time, yeah and rolling the leaves and all is way to much!
Our lowest low in central Iowa was -2
Hahahahahahahaha.....that kid! Just love your channel, always something comical and always good food...🤩😍
I think it would be ok to eat the rice after a couple of days and reused in the jambalaya but I wouldn’t reheat the leftovers again just in my opinion 🤷🏻♀️
Did you say 3 pounds of chicken breast for $54 ? If so that’s is a ridiculous price 🤷🏻♀️ not sure if I misheard
Yeah I misspoke. I had ordered qty 2 of the 3 lbs. So 6lbs of organic chicken breasts for $54 and 6lbs of organic boneless skinless chicken thighs for $80.

I'm going to make these asap. The first time I tried, they were crunchy. 😂 I think it's interesting the canning time for this is less than the usual for beans. I wonder how it was approved.
What do you think of emmer and kamut?
I love Kamut...not much experience with emmer.
Are the jars airtight? Link?
They are not 100% airtight. And I got them at Target, but I think Ball discontinued them.
Why do you buy einkorn and all purpose when you grind your own?
Because regular AP and einkorn AP have the bran and germ removed. That's the point of AP....just the endosperm ground to make it light and fluffy. I can't separate the bran and germ.
You bought whole frozen strawberries to freeze dry them …question have you done them before or first time trying them ? I’d like to try them too …
I have and it's worked great. I'll share the process next time I do it.
Love your videos such a cheerful disposition thank you x
Please show us how u make sauerkraut. I’m having trouble it’s not fermenting…
Will do, very soon!
I think I would prefer to use the stuffed shells. Much easier to stuff and should taste the same. I would love your sauce. Nothing on the market like it.
I want to eat dinner at your house for the next week.pls.
I lived in Charlotte around that time, and no, now that I think about it,it was Hugo. Power was out over 2 weeks due to a transformer. I will never forget it. It was like camping out for 2 weeks. Don't want to go that ever again.
Yes, I think it was Hugo! It was miserable.
I have a patient with that name and I never got it right. I was always embarrassed
I used to be the one eating leftovers for days when I made too much so it wouldn't go to waste. It drove me nuts. Now, anything that I don't think we'll eat for lunch the next day... or anything left AFTER lunch the next day, gets vacuum sealed and put in the freezer. It seems to be much more appreciated later when it can make a quick lunch or dinner on a busy day. Might it be an option for you?
Amanda, just have to say, love your creative pivot with the failed milk/butter!
Let me ask you do you calculate what you have saved for those couple of months and money please tell
I haven't....it's so hard to calculate. But we don't spend much on groceries in general because we grow so much too.
I'd call that a Cajun rice dish which is very good. But it is not Jambalaya , Because it is dine with a rue cooked down on low temp for a very long time.
Glad to hear and see you. Love your laugh
I think your butter issue might have been the amount of buttermilk you used. There’s not much cream left in buttermilk, so it may have just been too little cream for the butter to break. Another thing you could have used the cultured milk for would be to make a ranch style dressing. That’d be my choice! 😊
great idea!
All your meals look delicious. You’re the best! Val C
Well… You have inspired me! I have canned sweet potatoes, frozen spinach, fresh (from whey) ricotta , mozzarella and large pasta (for stuffing) ….canned pasta sauce… yup… looks like a future dinner
Leftover Mexican rice makes excellent burrito stuffing..... Freezers well in any incarnation. My family also has opinions about leftovers so I don't use that word. I am the master of disguise out of necessity! !
Great reinvention of leftovers!
When you have leftovers maybe you could freeze dry some for just-add-boiling-water emergency rations? Or for choose your dinner” options? Or freeze some individual portions for quick convenient meals?
We do a “short order” night where we pull everything out of the fridge and everyone picks what they want. If there is anything left (there usually isn’t) it goes to the chickens so nothing wasted.
Well done!
Man, I wanna be in your family today that food looks so incredible,
