How to Freeze Grated / Shredded Carrots
Переглядів 120День тому
How to freeze grated / shredded carrots. Good way to preserve the produce you already have. Quick tip also mentioned in my video. If your carrots have gone limp and aren't looking so good, you can put them in a deep container of water, with the leaf end down, and they will rehydrate and look and feel as fresh and crisp as when you purchased them. This process can take up to 36 hours. Great than...

Oh this looks so yummy! What a great way to start the day. Thank you for the inspiration. Have a wonderful week, stay safe and well❤🙌
I really like that you asked God to bless us all. And the video was very helpful. Thank you for both and God bless you back!
Dallas absolutely delicious and healthy and refreshing. Thank you sister for participating with us and quick and easy meals❤
Im here watching sis 😀
Hi, your yogurt bowl looks wonderful, my husband loves walnuts. Great recipe.❤❤❤❤
loving your yogurt bowl tfs looks so yummy Sis ! love Ana
added to playlist
I love this I'm telling you I do this all the time I have never recorded them but I think one of these days I will😊
Looks delicious 😋
nice and nutritious! stay cool!!!
one finger typing at it's best - my left hand was being cleaned by a kitten - lol. i hope you are safe. i see the ridge fire reports and hope it is far from you. a slight cooling here - i think it will peak at 96f here then back into the 100's the next day.
Looking good! I love yogurt and walnuts. I eat walnuts every morning with my oatmeal. Yummy yogurt bowl!! Blessings
Yum❤
Ohhhh did not know that tip about the crisco. Good to know. Now I’m craving chocolate covered pretzels. Maybe I’ll make some tomorrow for work.
I will be putting this book on my TBR. I just finished The Woman by Kristen Hannah. Great book. Now reading The woman they could not silence. It’s for book club. Not sure if I’m going to like it or not. Just starting it.
You did a very nice job with the pretzel love that machine that you melt the chocolate and it looks delicious and yummy❤
i love this - i've done dipped pretzel sticks for christmas in the past but this is something i can make AND enjoy - i just need gf pretzels. the candy warmer is such a good idea as well as saving the leftover candy for the next time. i think i melted mine in a makeshift double boiler. we are back to hot. the reprieve (highs in low 90's) was wonderful but we know it wasn't going to stay. watching for area fires (as i know you are too). stay cool as you can & safe.
I was looking for a video that added stuff to it but I appreciate this one thank you definitely have times where I need a cheap breakfast
Great tip on adding the crisco to thin the chocolate. What a cool chocolate warmer, I have never seen that before. What a delicious treat, I love dipped pretzles and yours look yummy, enjoy. Have a wonderful weekend, stay safe and well❤🙏
Oh those are so nice the enamel charms are so fun 😊
This one is on my reading wish list. Now, I really want to read it. I love WWII era books too. Many in my family had WWII stories they told me as a little girl. I feel like when I read a WWII novel I am sitting in a Kansas kitchen on a hot Summer day snapping green beans while my elders share their stories. I am writing a book that is set in a bookstore, lol. Not WWII but definitely a war book. This book is taking a billion years to write. I have wrote over four hundred chapters. This is going to be a series book. It is Dynasty meets Winds of War. I am reading Tomi Adeyemi's Children of Anguish & Anarchy. This is the last in the series of the Orisha series. It is amazing. I rarely buy books new but when I read it was going to be released I pre-ordered it. This is a fantasy series. It does remind me a lot of Roots.
i do love reading ww1 to ww2 books. i see there are a couple more books by barbara davis that seem to fall in that era. i am so looking forward to being able to read again. it is one of my biggest pleasures so i am hopefully when all is done with my eye, i can enjoy reading again. i see we are WARMING UP AGAIN. yesterday was just wonderful. going outside without "melting" - what a concept, eh? i hope it's not too bad up your way. take care and stay cool as you can.
3 for a dollar... man I miss Trump's economy Before Biden's Green policies and Covid destroyed the world economy.
Sounds like an interesting read⭐️Reading out on the porch until the sun goes down is my kind of day⭐️
Fun haul my friend. Those bracelets are adorable.
Thank so much, doing this is so relaxing!
So adorable. Would love to learn how to make the children's bracelets. Very inspirational.
I got the kit at Amazon (link below). You will also need a spool of 1 mm elastic thread and some sort of jewelry glue, like e6000 I lay out the beads and make sure that I have at least one pony bead (which are the plastic beads with the big hole). The rest of the beads in this kit have small holes (that will accomodate the 1mm thread.) I start and finish at the pony bead and then do some knots. You can see different types of knots on UA-cam. After that, I glue the knots and let everything rest for 24 hours. I double check the knot and then I trim the extra elastic thread and pull the knot into the pony bead where it is "hidden" and also less likely to get rubbed, etc. This is the kit I purchased, but there are lots of them on Amazon. www.amazon.com/your-orders/pop?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_pop&orderId=114-4327025-7664223&lineItemId=jglnlpkptmqrqqps&shipmentId=GBQ4lHDRQ&packageId=1&asin=B0BWNDR624
I love it all. I love the clay beads the best. So pretty & colorful.
Me too! All the colors! Amazon is just like paradise!
I love it all❤ Wish you had links❤

@@MyMountainHomeandKitchen Oh thank you so much❤️❤️❤️🌹
@@MyMountainHomeandKitchen Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️
so nice to have fun with your granddaughters! you have been busy busy. love the work you are doing and great that your jewelry is selling well. side note - i copied a post about banana water and tagged in on a recent post in case you didn't see it. i'm not pushing bananas but thought it was informative. a slight cool down here. we may not hit triple digits today. whooot. hopefully things are good on your end too.
The kids loved their bracelets! I will have to check my tags regarding the banana water, my neighbor swears by it. I have another bag of peels waiting for her in the freezer. We are having amazing weather, and the evenings cool down to the 50's Whole different world without a heat wave
@@MyMountainHomeandKitchen so nice to have a cool down. enjoy it while it is here.
@@karenjones1897 No kidding. I was actually wearing a bathrobe this morning!
Beautiful Sis ❤
Thank you so much! Enjoyed opening that package for sure.
Ohhhhh I love the enamel charms!!! So fun you will be making bracelets with your granddaughters!💕
The enamel charms are really fun - made the bracelets with the kids and they loved it.
Thats a nice new vacuum but i wonder if it will last as long as your old dirt devil
I have given up all hope of anything lasting a reasonable amount of time. It's really annoying.
@@MyMountainHomeandKitchen makes total sense, honestly your best bet is a Kirby, even though they are heavy they last virtually forever, I have one from the 1960s and its still working
@@cdmaniac6004 My parents had one and it was great. It's the heavy part that discourages me.
Great tips Sis 🎉love the video Tfs
Thank you so much!
Thankyou for updating us. Please keep safe. Here in Suffolk UK its grey/wet and cold. Farmers are struggling but weeds are rampant . Foodbanks are needed by many here too.
It's crazy how one part of the world is cold and drowning and another part is literally burning up. I understand England might be getting a heat wave, too, this week. Does England have food banks, too? They are definitely a lifesaver for many here.
I learned so much in this video. I never heard of the dis coloration with the carrots before. I make carrot cakes and have ever had that happen to me. But good to know.
It was shocking! I had tried a new recipe, carrot cake cookies, and the carrots were turquoise! Fortunately I didn't need to take them anywhere, but it looked terrible. I looked it up and I guess it happens sometimes, but once was enough for me!
great tip!
Thanks, just did another round this morning.
Interesting ❤
Thank you so much, Martha. I don't eat fast enough to go through everything I buy, so this is a good way to preserve for later.
this is the perfect time - my son has way too many raw carrots in the fridge so i will give this a try tomorrow. just need to be up early so the kitchen doesn't turn into an oven. i do like carrots - they have a sweetness that i pick up so i cook them frequently for me. it is supposed to hit 107f here today. just typing that has drained my energy. i do have to go out today but it is this morning so hopefully it isn't bad. stay cool, keep hydrated - we don't want to dry up and blow away, right?
I'm so glad this is useful for you! I'm not a big fan of carrots, so they go slowly here at the house. However, if I freeze them, I don't lose them. Have used them for stirfries, baking, etc. Yes we are looking at another hot one. The weather is horrendous and it doesn't seem to end.
I am so sorry you have been suffering through tremendous heatwaves!
Thank you so much - it's crazy! Evidently it's all over the place, geographically. At least we are not looking at the trauma that Texas is going through after Hurricane Beryl. What a weather mess this year has been. Hoping you are OK in Kansas.
@@MyMountainHomeandKitchen We are doing good!
Thank you for this 🩷
You are so welcome - glad it was helpful!
We missed you at the meet up but totally understand. Hopefully we can all get together in October. If I wouldn’t have found a care giver to come sit with my husband I wouldn’t have gone either because of the heat. Just in case any thing would have happened like a power outage.
I'm on board for October. There's a long stretch of rural road with very little people and I'm not sure about cell phone access. My car is in great shape and normally I'd drive it no problem, but if something happened and I was stranded out there for awhile in the heat...that's what concerned me. Plus I'd be a wreck by the time I arrived, even if nothing happened! What a terrible heat wave we are having, and continue to have.
Hello my dear. Yes this heat is no joke. I worry about the electricity going out with my husband bedridden right now it would not be good. It’s supposed to be 113 here tomorrow and Friday. Oh no root canal. I’m the queen of crowns and root canals. Ugh. I’m getting a new crown put on in a couple weeks. Oh geeze you have fires popping up everywhere around you! How scary. It breaks my heart to see seniors so poor and broke. I deliver the medication for our pharmacy to different people who can’t leave their homes or don’t have transportation to get to us. Some homes I deliver to with seniors breaks my heart.
Hi Patti: the electrical going out is a real concern with someone who is bedridden, for sure. I've done home health care for years and it was always worrisome when we'd lose power. Not everyone has access to a generator. This root canal / crown thing is new to me. I've always had great teeth and I've had two root canals this year. Fortunately they were able to resolve it at the one appointment and I'll go and get a crown now and hopefully that's that.
Prayers
Thank you. We were OK in the end - thank God.
