      Hi! I just wanted to share something I learned in a culinary class re: holding knives. Have you heard of this? Instead of your hand being sort of flat when chopping, you cup your hand, so that your knuckles and fingertips are aligned vertically. Almost like the shape of an N off your wrist. Does that make sense? So if you accidentally get the knife too close, your finger tips are protected. Love your videos!

    Just some friendly information from your local farmer - all meat and dairy products will always be antibiotic free. 😊 Antibiotics are strictly monitored by farmers and the USDA so they do not enter the food chain and can only be given to an animal if he or she is not feeling well. Similar to us going to a Dr. to get medicine.
    So, there’s really no need to pay attention to the “no-antibiotic” label on the packaging. It’s a marketing tactic. 😉 Keep up the great content!

      I don't know I've seen a lot of documentaries, where are 5,000 chickens are crammed into 1000 ft space and they're so close together they put antibiotics in everything because if one chicken gets sick they all get sick. have seen beef cows treated the same way, Living in stalls, not being allowed to even graze. the way animals are treated in general when they are born with a sole purpose of feeding humans just really upsets me. I stopped eating meat like that a long time ago, I do consume dairy products- products made without killing the animals...
      there's a recent new documentary series on Netflix called "you are what you eat" and one of the people interviewed and shown is a prior chicken farmer who quit raising chickens because of how it was done.

    No one ever seems to talk about using raw cabbage in a salad. I’m not talking coleslaw - I chop a head of cabbage and add cukes, tomatoes, peppers, celery, whatever! It lasts so much longer and is much better for you than iceberg or other types of greens, and it’s so much less expensive.

    • @TN-xi8rb
      @TN-xi8rb Місяць тому +5

      Yes! A head of purple cabbage sliced up lasts like 2 weeks in the fridge. It’s very pretty & adds crunch & flavor on salads & tacos as well as salads. Plus it’s supposed to be great for heart health, so we do it a lot to help my husband lower his cholesterol naturally. (Maybe it helps?) anyway, it’s delicious, cheap & long-lasting.

    One of my favorite money saving tricks is to make my own yogurt using my Instant Pot. It is super easy with the cold start method. I use 1/2 gallon of ultra pasteurized ultra filtered milk (Costco has a box of 3 half gallons) and 1/2 cup plain yogurt with active cultures.(I retain 1/2 cup of yogurt from my previous batch as starter for my next batch) Mix milk & yogurt together in Instant Pot, push yogurt button and done! Eight hours later you have a huge batch of yogurt. I refrigerate for several hours then I divide up into individual containers with fruit so my kids can grab and go. I get about 12 servings for less than $4. If you like it sweeter you can add sweetened condensed milk to the initial milk & yogurt before starting. It takes very little time, saves money, and tastes better than the store bought yogurt.

    Christine,
    I know it feels like you spent a lot of money; however, you really got lots of healthy and beautiful fruits , veggies, yogurts, and cheese that would cost so very much more at a regular grocery store! You and your family will be well fed with tasty and beautiful foods!! When you break down the cost per day per person, I think you will see that you have gotten quite the amazing deals there on your kitchen counter!
    I just bought a Sam’s club membership because you talk well about that store but haven’t been yet…I hope their food is good too!
    🥳🥰❤️

      They don't have as many organic items unfortunately but that's where I go. I don't go to Costco. They also ship a lot of items if you are a plus customer. I live a long way from there.

    Newbie here, good video! $192 is good for what you got. We get our produce, etc, at Costco too & it’s just 2 of us now. We eat tomatoes like candy. That box would only last us a week. Yea, the cukes have been a high price for quite awhile. I was surprised about that. Thought the cost would have went down by now.

    A great way to use up fresh tomatoes is to cut them up,and use it for salad,homemade b.b.q. sauce,or
    in your tortillas. Our family made homemade pizza using tomatoes,or inside omelettes.
    That way they won’t go bad.
