Приєднався 14 жов 2015
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!

Yes please show your cheese blend you use for Mac and cheese. 😀. Thanks Kim
Thank you for reminding me to compare the cheese prices...I am out of mozza and Azure beats everyone else on price.
Oh are the chocolate covered almonds good.
You are fantastic loved your haul. You are very thorough please keep up the good work.
Omg you have everything I want to order especially the ground beef 1000 hills. Trying to gather what is good. It will be my first order want it to be a good one.❤
Great been wanting to order that is it really good.
Ok so the laundry detergent (azure). Do you perfer liquid or powder. Have you tried any other laundry detergents I think country save.
Can I ask if you Mill your own flour?? If you milled your own you would be getting 100% whole grain! If you haven't heard of Sue Becker, please look up her UA-cam video, it says it all!!
I do! I really love and prefer freshly milled/whole grain sourdough. Been doing it for 3-4 years.
A great haul. I’m going to have to try some of those things you showed.
Hello Amanda, what is shelf life on the brown rice? I have heard it doesn't store as long as white rice.
6 months when stored properly....out of direct sunlight and in an airtight container in a dry and cool place.
Central North Carolina here too :)
Helpful hack. In order to keep my celery, lettuce or cucumbers a little longer in thr fridge, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil. It works.
That’s a great tip, thank you for sharing!
Great haul! Val C
Very nice haul
Hi! I am new to Azure. Just received my first order. I got the organic oatmeal and it says to keep refrigerated on the box-not the bag. Is that really correct?
I don’t refrigerate mine. It is in a 5 gallon bucket.
Not necessary. Just cool, dry and dark environment.
Thank you😊
The dish soap azure brand lavender is it a strong scent. Does it clean properly 🤔
I don't think it's overly powerful and it cleans great!
Ok will order ❤thanks
@normavaldez9164 It's soft scent! Really nice & this stuff WORKS AMAZINGLY!
Have you used the automatic dishwasher soap. Does it work as well.❤
I have missed you! You look great. Thanks for another great video.
Very interested in hearing about semolina noodles. Are they a gluten free product?😊. I didn’t know you were an apothecary 😮 I have missed you Amanda ❤😊
Semolina is not gluten free....it's a coarsely milled durum wheat that is really good for making pasta (I only use semolina or Einkorn all purpose). My apothecary business is new, about 7-8 months now, and I just love it. Being able to create and help people is so fulfilling!
@ I keep you in mind and check your store out. Thanks for replying
Good thing you bought carrots with Azure with all the recalls from the stores going on! I just added them to my Azure cart! 😮
Why they have been recalled?
@silviamagda ecoli! Check any news source. They keep expanding the recall adding more stores.
@whitecreekhomestead6277 i am not from the us, so i don't see those news. Thank you.
Me too!!! I had received my order a few days before that news story broke.
Thank you for your information!
Your Azure hauls are the best! Thank you for taking the time to show each item with the cost.
That Nancy's cream cheese is BY FAR THEE BEST I've ever tasted! I make flavored ones from them...chive n onion, Jalapeño, pumpkin spice. Whatever flavors you like but OMG, it's AMAZING! You'll LOVE it!
we love the yoghurt too
Wow! You look great. Your skin looks amazing! What are you doing? Anything different?
You are so kind, thank you! I have been working out pretty regularly for about 3-4 days a week with weights and cardio. That has never been something I loved, but now I do. And I'm using my skincare regime that I created :) The activated charcoal soap, clarifying toner and revitalizing serum. I'm so in love with all of it! thehappyhomestead.bigcartel.com/product/glowing-skin-bundle
lol I love it hearing your dog drinking. Our oldest son family has a black lab and when he drinks he sounds the same way.
Do you use a sourdough starter with these flours?
Yes! I have yeast on hand for quick breads like zucchini, etc. But we are a sourdough household. :)
I wouldn't put that bean water that you tried to cook out back into the beans... that's asking for a stomach ache... just sayin.
Yeah, that's a great point. Thank you!
12 tablespoons is 3/4 cup.
Kitchen Bouquet is a brand of liquid browning in a bottle!
Extra dry time = best tip ever! Will be ordering a FD soon. Looking forward to the 2025 collab. Thanks so much for sharing this! 😄
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it!😄 Make sure you order while they still have their Black Friday Sale....it's a fantastic deal!!! Sale ends 11/30/24 - $900 off and you get a Premier Pump (which is what I have). affiliates.harvestright.com/1253.html
Hi, i made my first cheese following your steps, i used rennat tablet (1/4) and half packets of culture all from new england cheese supply, my problem is that i cheese bit rubbery any idea of what could make it? (4.2 ltrs of raw milk)
I'm not entirely sure. I have not tried rennet tablets...my only advice would be to try liquid rennet next time. Good luck!
Great video! Recipe pleaae
HELP!! so I saw your video AFTER I tried to strain my own. And I dumped the mother with the apples. in all 3 jars. right now it is sweet. my daughter tasted it when I was scared. So what do I do with the liquid now? I put it back in the mason jars but dont have any mother. will it keep fermenting?
It's ok....a new mother will form with the cultures in your air (that's how fermentation works). It will just take longer.
What are the amount of sesnings
Check the recipe.
How do we find what pressure to set at your elevation.
Great question! Start here to determine your elevation. Once you know that, you'll find the correct pressure to be set per recipe (make sure you determine of you are using a dial gauge pressure canner or a weighted gauge pressure canner)...... nchfp.uga.edu/how/can/general-information/find-your-elevation/
I like this lady. Funny and smart. Well done video. Heck, I learned something too.
I spent a lot of time with my grandparents as a child and my grandfather was a hotdog/sausage lover that was always feeding me, he had a nicknzme fgor me too...fatboy..lol. it was said with love cause my grandad was a really funny guy and loved giving me hell. Anyway, along with those hotdogs was a mustard that i loved and was always down for any reason to put it on sonething. This mustard had a taste that i could not find in any store, anywhere. It was well after my grandparents had both passed begore i found this mustard...it was fermented Frenchs yellow mustard lol. They had that big ole bottle of that mustard for so long without ever being put in the refrigerator that it had naturally turned into the best famn mustard ive ever had. Thanks grandpa...fatboy.
I'm really trying to embrace the joy in the day to day activities and just slow down some. Btw, I'm in Benson, NC and wanted to find out if you're close by and if you have ideas where I can get raw milk.
I just sent you an email, so check your spam in case it went there. RealMilk.com is a good place for people to look in their area.
I enjoyed this video. How to say homesteader, without saying homesteader: yes, I use alot of vinegar.
lol, this made me laugh. Thank you!
Such a relatable video, thank you. Where on earth did you find that funnel for the gallon jar? Its awesome
Thank you, it is so useful. I've had it since 2013, and use it a lot! amzn.to/4eZTUdd
Good reminder. Val C
I first embraced a love for the rhythm of the ordinary decades ago, when my 4 children were little. My oldest is now 44 and I still find joy in the rhythm of the ordinary, such as washing dishes by hand. It nourishes my soul and keeps me grounded.
What she said - below me. !!!!
Loved the video! I didn't catch the name of your Basil. It was so pretty.
Thank you so much, Cardinal Basil. :)
You should "plant" an extra large mailbox in your garden. Use it to store extra gloves, handheld shears, etc. That way you don't have to transport them back and forth from the house to the garden. They're always in the garden and the mailbox keeps them out of the elements. Great video!
Great idea, thank you!
Nice music!!
What a wonderful and peaceful video! Thank you 😊
Clostridium Botulinum (Deadly) loves not having oxygen.
Thank you so much.
Can you use frozen vegetables?
Absolutely!
@@TheHappyHomestead thank you!
