Thank you! 😂 it seemed only fitting!

@Willowcreek_021 what state are you in

@@RandyCox-q1d Im in Iowa ❤😊

@@Willowcreek_021 how many chickens do you have?

@@Willowcreek_021 how many chickens do you have??

@@IAMGiftbearer thank you so much for the information!! I haven’t went to far into different varieties of flowers so I couldn’t remember what they required! I think I’m going to enjoy them as well. Fingers crossed they grow well for me 🤞🤞 I will do exactly what you mentioned because it already sounds fantastic!!

@@billsmith2593 do you know what variety it is or anything? I just want to find a similar small variety to grow but I’ve yet to find something like them

@Willowcreek_021 They're just "mini bell pepper" 🙂

@ oh wow! Good to know! I’ll have to try and get some more of the mini bells from MI gardener then! Thank you for the info!!

@@allthingsmaloney5634 I love that! I just struggle to organize it all with one box. So definitely hoping the next box will help keep better track of things. It would help if I would quit buying so many seeds but I don’t see that changing anytime soon 😂

@@Willowcreek_021 it’s like books. Buying them and reading them are two separate hobbies 😅

@@allthingsmaloney5634 haha true!! 😂😂

@@allthingsmaloney5634 sometimes it does great other times I lose it to disease before I get anything 😂 I’m excited to try the yellow though! In my opinion it tastes a lot better anyway!

Well I’m going to be honest I use the term “homestead” because that’s what others can relate and find my content by BUT personally I am more of a “modernsteader.” Homesteading to me anyway is a way of life that is usually based more around tradition. Woman stays home, cooks from scratch, food is grown at their home, butchering of their own livestock, etc. I am a full time working mom just doing what I can. My child attends public school, not everything we eat is grown or produced at home, etc. However, I did not grow up with these traditions so for me personally I am still building my homestead or “modern stead” that’s why in most everything I share I say my homesteading journey because I’m still on it and building it each day. I believe anyone can be a homesteader. Regardless of what you do or where you live. Which is what I try to always relay in my content. Not everyone “fits the mold.” I would also add that definitionally having a house on land surrounded by family is what we have accomplished. We chose to build on a family farm. So I guess there’s many different definitions and takes. Thanks for the question! It’s a good one!

@@dh4398 wow! Great idea! Thank you for the recommendation!!

@@HealyMeans oh I love that idea! And I feel the trying to control the urge to plant 😂 I struggle with this also!

@@Vannazzzz it’s just a hashtag that fits the type of content I make. Many people just “re use” hashtags. I will say many of my friends just do buy the frozen stuff and like frozen pancakes. They don’t taste the same imo lol

You’ll love it!!

@@dawnmarie85 breakfast for dinner is always a win 😂 even my husband was excited for French toast haha!

@@karriemb4184 you are most welcome! Glad you found it helpful 🥰 the cherry juice came out way better than I expected it to. I was pleasantly surprised!! Definitely worth giving a try!

@@ellehaymond they really are! And so easy to make! 😊

@@sharonjennings1282 I follow a recipe in the new Ball book called “paw paws by water bbq sauce” I think I have a video back on my page for that one and then the second one I make every year I use the base out of the original ball book and tweak it a bit. The paw paws by water tastes more like a sweet baby rays (calls for a lot of ketchup so it’s very sweet I used half ketchup and half tomato puree to cut down the sweetness) but if you like sweet and sweet baby rays you could follow the recipe exactly. I add a bit of heat to the second one we do and it tastes more like famous Dave’s sweet and spicy but I don’t have an exact recipe because like I said I tweak the heck out of it lol

@@sharonjennings1282 yum!! I will have to do that!!

Thank you for this!!! I will definitely be making it this holiday for family and friends!!

@@bethanyhill3800 you’re welcome! ❤️ they’ll love it!!

@@sunshineonmapleridgeacres1376 I tried that but unfortunately the cardboard wasn’t thick enough and I didn’t trust it 😂 I got a bunch of thick cardboard from the chicken coop box I ordered so what I don’t use to help insulate that I think I’m gonna use the rest for in between my jars. That would make me feel better about stacking them for sure!

​@Willowcreek_021 Ball jars official position from their Facebook page is that it's ok to stack, no height limit and cardboard is unnecessary. Now I don't stack full quarts, but the others, I do. There's just too much wasted space otherwise. I'm not replacing my metal shelving.

@ oh really? I’ve just always been told to never stack? But I’ve also never had a problem from stacking. I know others have talked about the seal issues I’ve just never personally had anything fail or loosen due to a jar sitting on it

​@@Willowcreek_021Me too. Never had a failure once they're on the shelves. You just have to be diligent about rotation.

@@sushicourier 100% I agree. I always use the ones on top first and the forjar lids I use are super thick and durable so I can’t see a jar messing with them really

@@sushicourier I’ve seen many people use the dry canning method. I’ve never tried it but am not opposed to trying new things. Especially if it’s something I have a hard time getting used up otherwise lol!

@@tracywise654 🙌😂 love this! Maybe with my last jar I’ll add some fresh ground too!

@@julieagain Thank you so much ❤️ I am in the process of getting a PO Box set up. I would really like to promote my subscribers products and businesses on my channel so I thought it would be a cool thing to have to hopefully give back to everyone! My business e mail is willowcreek021@gmail.com 😊 you’re more than welcome to send whatever you would like there ❤️

@@jmsuther01 I wondered about doing carrot cake with the canned carrots! We LOVE carrot cake so thank you for mentioning that! I’m definitely going to give it a try ❤️

​@@Willowcreek_021You can also make hummus out of canned (cooked) carrots. Either 100% carrot or ½ and ½ with chick peas. It's really good, and also lowers the calories.

@@lindachandler2293 oh wow! Thank you for the tip! I will definitely give it a try. I think canning ground meat is SO convenient I just hated the texture. Maybe this will help with that!

@@candyc1334 that’s a fantastic idea! I’ve definitely got to get more creative and get them used up in other ways!

@@madmecyr wow! I would have never thought to do that but that is a wonderful idea! Very very creative! And that’s precious! My daughter would also enjoy it. She loves crafts and helping mom! Thanks for the recommendation!

@@Forestwhispers444 that’s a good idea! I might be able to re purpose it

Grape juice makes great jelly...

@@KarenStephens-wl1vi I thought about that but this grape juice is incredibly watered down and just has really no flavor. I dont think it would be the best batch to turn into jelly :/

@@cathykillion6544 thank you so much for watching ❤️

@@crystalmichaud3716 oh wow! Never thought about adding things like that to bread and baked goods! That’s fantastic! Thank you so much!

@@ondamasters1422 that’s what I need to do with the ones I have! Great idea!

I like to put them in stews. I think canned carrots lose their flavor, but still has the nutrition value.

@ I have tried to add them in things but they just have no texture. Maybe it was the variety I tried? Even if I add them in last they just turn to mush :/

@@annettenepple449 thank you for the info! 😊

@@teresatrump8366 we love using the canned chicken for enchiladas as well! I’ve never tried canning green sauce. That’s on my list to try next year. I didn’t realize you have to plant two tomatillo plants in order for them to pollinate so I got no tomatillos this year and had hardly any green tomatoes. I am going to make it both ways next season though and see which we prefer!

​@Willowcreek_021 the green tomatoes have a pleasant tart flavor.

@ awesome! I can’t wait to try it!! 😊

@@rvlucky2909 you’re welcome ❤️ thanks for watching!

@@mes9766 thank you! That’s a great idea!!

@@carrolganoe9896 I’ve seen people using those! Maybe I’ll have to invest in one! And thank you I really appreciate that ❤️

@@bevcrabtree6519 I would say at least 6 weeks. This has been sitting since I made the video and I plan to gift it for Christmas 😊 but you can let it sit for as long or as short as you would like!

I had to look up what they were!! That’s just a good idea! I didn’t even think to use scissors like that to make a decorative edge!

@@Willowcreek_021 Using pinking shears help the fabric from fraying as well as a decorative edge. I printed labels on my computer to get a small font, punched a hole and threaded it onto my decorative ribbon... These make great gifts for all ages, my 6 Grandchildren (all boys) love these at Christmastime.😊😊😊

@ thank you for the tip! I’ll have to get on my computer and see what I can come up with for the labels this year. I’ve just never done it and am not very tech savvy 😂

@@nadinekore6308 what do you mean by use salt correctly? 😊 and yes it was fantastic!!

@@Willowcreek_021 What I mean is....because they're potatoes, you should put the salt directly in the cream so they bake in the salty cream. And it's really hard to know how much salt to put in, I usually go with 2 tsp + 2 tsp garlic + 1 tsp nutmeg and it's Fantastic! I usually try with regular potatoes so I need to try with the Sweet ones! Thank you!

@ awesome! I’m still learning myself and am no expert so that tip is VERY helpful!! Thank you as well! 😊😊

@@ConnieTerbrock I bet that would be equally incredible! This appetizer is a good way to use up really any jam, jelly, or sauce you have extra of. I was thinking of doing the blueberry jalapeño I made in a previous video with some pepper jack!

@@ConnieTerbrock at least you still knew what I meant lol

@@Willowcreek_021 I watch a lot of cooking shows and I have learned a lot . Looking forward to more of your videos

@@ConnieTerbrock thank you ❤️ I’m still learning myself. I butchered a lot of pronunciation in this video with the dishes I made but now I know how to say them at least so thank you!! 🥰😂

@@allisonp7041 Ty for the recommendation sounds delicious!

Thanks for being here ❤️
