Frost Advisory - Let's Get To Picking!
The rumors last week were true, and we had our first frost advisory of the season for this morning! Come do a big harvest with me and pick everything before the expected frost. Plus, we'll check and see if we actually ended up with a frost.

My apple crop was ruined this year by pests, so I went to the local orchard and got half a bushel of one of my favorite apples. Today we're putting some of them up by canning slices in apple juice. We also make a fantastic apple upside down cake using oat flour!

Air Fried Green Tomato Eggs Benedict (and an update on the freeze dried broth)

I thought this would be a great time to make fried green tomatoes and turn them into a delicious eggs benedict! We make the tomatoes, hollandaise sauce, and try an online hack for poaching eggs. The chicken broth from previous video, also finishes in the freeze dryer! I package that up and we get to se...

Last Fall I came across the idea of shaved Brussels sprout salads. They became a staple in our house last fall and winter. Today I'm sharing my favorite version with you! This one has feta or blue cheese, dried cranberries, and a homemade poppy seed dressing. If you top it with some chopped up rotisserie chicken, you've got a really simple weeknight dinner salad.

Tonight we're expecting more wind and several inches of rain from Hurricane Helene. So to prep for that, I pulled the shade clothes down in the garden and got some fall veggies planted. We might as well use the rain to our advantage, right?! If you are in the path of Helene I pray safety for you and yours. #gardening #fallgardening #vegetablegarden #hurricaneprep #planting
One Pot Taco Rice Bake

Preparing for Francine

Today we're dealing with the remnants of Hurricane Francine where I live. So in preparation, I spent several hours taking care of some things in the garden yesterday. I made sure the tomato plants were all trellised well and harvested everything that was ripe or almost ripe. I also needed to get my dry beans harvested before the rain came, so spend a good amount of time picking the trellis clea...

Good idea,thanks I need to buy an air fryer 💙💜🩷💚🦋
Thanks! I really didn't think I would use one and then received it as a gift. Turns out I love the thing and use it all the time!
❤❤❤❤
❤️
Yes ma'am we want garden tips very much helpful, thank you
So nice of you!
Thanks Sarah, you have the best recipes! 👍
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks for the recipe Sarah, we have so many various types of tomatoes from our friends who have a huge garden. I'm going to make one for us, one for them as a thank you, such a unique recipe! .😊
I love that you have friends who are so generous with their bounty! I hope you enjoy the cobblers.
Your garden is beautiful. Enjoy the nice weather while you have it Crazy weather these day, but we're ready for some rain here in CA. Usually by now we are burning wood fuel for heat, but it's been hot! I'm one of those who love Fall and Winter...Give me the cold and snow! But I'm not a gardener, not much success with plants other than geraniums...lol . My friends gave me young basil plants, babied them until they were ready to repot. Once repotted, I put outside on the patio for better sun only to discover the next day the deer ate my babies! .Now I'm nursing them back to health. We'll see...🤨
Thanks. I'm definitely taking the last few days to enjoy it as they've got our low down to 34 now! Hopefully the fall and winter weather will show up soon for you. Your poor basil plants! At least basil does well with a good pruning, so they should bounce back well.
mmm that sounds delicious. I've never had tomato cobbler but, I make tomato pie all the time.
I love tomato pie! The cobbler was delicious and something a little different, which was a nice change.
@@rocketcityyardstead I'm definitely going to have to give it a try.
Oh this sounds AMAZING!
It was really good! Definitely a fantastic addition to my cherry tomato recipes.
Excellent share
Thanks!
Be safe
I made something very similar tonight. I had some defrosted sausage so I cooked it up with some veggies (and peppers from the garden!) and added rice. I cook the rice in the same pot, as well. I used a lot of Middle Eastern spices like sumac, cardamom, and za'atar. I love one-pot meals!! Other easy go-to's for us are tacos and stir-frys.
That sounds delicious! I spent a summer in Beirut when I was in college and love all of those Middle Eastern flavors.
I like to grow marjoram because of the really pretty leaves. So cute and small. Also good to use in cooking but I just like looking at it. I keep it in a pot, though, as it is a perennial where I live and can grow and spread in the ground more than you might want it to.
I've only had marjoram in spice blends and never seen the plant. I looked it up and completely agree with you! It's beautiful. I may need to add it to the list of herbs I grow.
Looks so good! Love rice casserole type meals.
Thanks! So good and easy cleanup, what more could you ask for?
Nice video, ma'am, very helpful, thank you
Thanks!
I don't know about the pepper plants but those little baby reds are singing to me anyway...super cute. So happy you and garden made it through Francine OK. I've made gluten free breads, never found a recipe that I really like. This one looks interesting , your buns turned out beautiful.
The tiny peppers really are adorable. I do find the hunt for good gluten free breads to be difficult. These were some of the best I've found.
I hope everything will go well for you.
Thank you. We had some decent wind, but the garden faired well and had way less rain than predicted.
Nice baskets! Beautiful harvest, you have reason to be proud. From your video I can see the weather changing as you work. Checking the weather, seems Francine has hit land doing quite a bit of damage, flooding etc.. Not sure where you live, but praying you all are safe.
Thanks! The wind definitely started picking up while I was working. We ended up with one day of crazy wind and only about an inch of rain. So everything faired well.
Love roasted fresh pumpkin and butternut squash. Can interchange them. Equally delicious.
Me too! I was actually reading that the pumpkin variety most used for canned pumpkin is closely related to butternut squash. So it makes all the sense in the world that they're interchangeable.
Sarah you have the best recipes! 😊
Thank you! You're always so kind. ❤️
Looks like the recipe I've been looking for. I subscribed. 🥰
Awesome! I hope you enjoy and thanks for the subscribe!
I love Sugolds; I always have to plant them. Your pepper plants look so good and healthy!
Aren't they so good! I hope you're enjoying your sungolds as much me.
nice Salad, looks very perfect and good for health, thank you ma'am
Thanks!
Thank you ma'am for another nice Jam Recipe. God Bless you
Thank you! You too!
I love your fermented recipes. I will be doing this very soon. Thank you Sarah!
Aw, thanks! I hope you enjoy.
So delicious! Perfect combination of food 😊
Thank you 😋
Looks scrumptious, I will try your salad💜🦋🙏🏻
Thank you. I hope you enjoy!
Dry tomatoes? Can them? Pasta bolognese
Sarah these look so good! I'll give these a try, I've been baking in my sun oven. I'm just learning to use sun, so nice to cook outside when it's hot. Made vanilla years and years ago, forgot how to do it. Thanks for the idea!
How cool that you're using a sun oven! I'm sure it is nice to cook outside when it's hot. Keep that heat out of the kitchen! You'll have to tell me how making cookies goes in it.
Do make the lemony caponata. What if I didn’t put the olives and capers in, would that ruin the dish? Would I taste them if I put them in?
I should have enough eggplants soon to make it! I honestly don't know for sure about the capers and olives. I think you could leave them out, as the real preserving ingredient is the lemon juice. I personally don't find their flavor to be particularly strong in the caponata, but they does add a bit of briny, umami flavor.
Yum!! I can't wait to try that! ❤
Hope you enjoy! It's so good!
That salsa, girllll!! 🤤 <races to check if you posted the recipe>
Hi Sarah!
Hi Jane! How's your garden doing this summer?
@@rocketcityyardsteadcoming along! The sweet potato slips have gotten to be big plants now!
Awesome! I hope you have a big beautiful harvest!!!
Beautiful flowers, such pretty cosmos. We get the migration of monarchs here in CA. To see the thousands of butterflies migrate and cover entire trees is worth a visit, nothing like it. I love cherry tomatoes, your frittata looks so delicious, one of my favorite dishes. Usually I just use cherries in various salads, not very creative.. lol. A roasted tomato soup, love that idea!
Thank you! Wow, I can't imagine how amazing the sight of the butterfly migration must be. I'll have to add that to my bucket list!

My pleasure 😊
you are very hard-working ma'am with nature care, it's very helpful for us, thank you ma'am, God bless you.
Thank you.
I'm in California and the crazy heat this Summer has been frying my flowers. But I just can't deal with working out there unless it's after 6pm. Just gotta do what you gotta do. :)
I'm sorry about your flowers. You've got the right idea waiting until evening to go out. I normally go out early morning and just didn't realize how late into the mid-day it had gotten.
Funny I've been busy clearing out our property too.. We live in the forest with tons of oak leaves, pine needles, forest debris, not a lot of sun filtering through for a garden...sigh.. It's fire season so making it safe as possible, trimming trees etc. Also getting ready for winter, splitting fire wood. . The deer are loving the fresh oak leaves from the trimmings. They don't eat the old oak leaves, but they love fresh cut limbs...so at least they can browse for winter too. As they strip it down we will cut the rest for next years kindling. Even so we are using electric chain saws and hand tools because we can't risk using gas powered tools now , so dry here in CA, fires everywhere. I love your yardstead, what a good use of your property, well done. We all need to pay attention to summer heat for sure,. heat exhaustion is no joke. So happy you recovered. Beautiful fur babies! 😊
Wow, you have been busy! It sounds like you live in a really beautiful place. I can't even imagine what it's like living with the threat of wildfires like you all do. My fur babies are pretty great! But then, I'm biased. 😉
New to your channel. Found you via RuthAnn’s channel. This looks great. Gonna try it today. Thanks. Much love and blessings.
Welcome! Don't you just love her channel? I learn so much. I hope you enjoy the sauerkraut!
I make Greek yogurt from raw fresh milk. I heat to 180, cool to 115, then add my live culture yougurt starter. I use the yogurt setting on the instant pot for 12 hours. Turns out thick and wonderful after I drain off the whey.
@@crishertel It sounds like you and I make yogurt the same way. When I mentioned runny raw milk yogurt, I was referring to the method that only heats it to 115 and skips the 180 step. I know some people are uncomfortable heating to 180 since milk is pasteurized at around 161.
Great video! Thanks for sharing! 😺
Thanks for watching!
new to your channel ! love the idea of the roasted tomato sauce ~ mine are starting to come in fast and furious now ! what oven temp ? also , what freeze dryer would you suggest for a beginner ?
Welcome! I roast the sauce at 400 degrees. I've had my freeze dryer for a few years and at the time I got it, the only brand available was Harvest Right. I have a medium and love it. It was a big investment, but has been such a great addition to the ways I can preserve food!
@@rocketcityyardstead Thank you !
Amazing meal, everything looks delicious. I had my first Greek dinner when visiting family in TN last month. I was so surprised at all the wonderful flavors. Just thinking I need to find some Greek recipes to make, and here you are! Thank you Sarah, I downloaded the recipes. 😊
Greek food is so flavorful, isn't it? I hope if you make them you enjoy it as much as the meal you had with your family!
Excellent meal ideas 🙂
Thank you! 😋
Wow… I’m drooling! Looks amazing
Thank you! 😋
I think fermented foods are the way to go. I got very sick, nearly died, the only thing I could eat was potatoes, white rice, some fruit, veggies, sourdough bread, sauerkraut, beans. . for a year! Needless to say I was malnourished. Doctor's were baffled, so many tests showing nothing. Then I discovered it was metformin medication, after reading FDA papers/ clinical studies,. Found out it caused my gallbladder to developed a rare mucoid membrane over the duct that is lethal. Once I stopped the med I healed, so fine now...MD's were shocked as it's very rare adverse effect, not detected until surgery, too late then! So they never heard of it. I'm retired RN having seen it all, but it amazes me how little MD's really know about the meds they prescribe. I still eat sourdough bread, love it.. Daughter just went gluten free so looking forward to your discoveries. Best of health to you and mom Sarah!
I'm so sorry you went through all of that! I'm very glad to hear that you were able to figure out the cause and found healing! I hear you about MD's not really knowing about the meds sometimes, we've had some experience with that in our house. I haven't really talked about in a video yet, because honestly it's still a pretty sore point for me, but I started reacting badly to my sourdough a couple of weeks after making this video. I've been researching gluten free recipes, because I had grown really accustomed to eating things like good bread, bagels, and tortillas again. I wish you and yours good health as well!
Beautiful harvest! I'm green eyed with envy...😊
Thank you! It sounds like you have friends providing you with garden goodies, so that's the next best thing!
I don't garden but our friends have a huge garden, they gave me a ton of tomatoes yesterday. This lasagna recipe looks delicious, thanks Sarah! Great idea for storing can goods too. 😊
What a blessing to have friends who share the abundance!
