Hey Cassandra! I've tried signing up for your newsletter a couple of times and don't get it...and yes, I have checked my junk mail filter. Have you had anyone else with the same issue? Nevermind - apparently 3rd time's the charm!
I thought I did it, but did it again just now.
@@Cesiliejordan do you have an affiliate link for your metal sprouter?
It still won't open, keeps telling me I have to ask for permission. I don't want to alter it, just view and download it. This has been going on for months. Email comes with two links, neither of which will work.
I’m getting them was before just didn’t see them thanks!
A little known fact about beets. They have a specific chemical that makes them taste muddy to many people, but the amount of that chemical varies exponentially by variety. Unfortunately, most grocery store beets are varieties with the most muddy flavor...by a lot! I hated beets until i found a book called "grow for flavor" which is in my top 5 gardening books list. He has a chart of beet varieties according to the amount of this chemical in each. Once i started growing the low chem varieties, it was a game changer. I now LOVE beets..but only those i grow myself..which is incredibly easy by the way. Since we are on beets, there are also varieties grown just for greens, which are among my favorites and if stored properly over the winter, they will continue to produce greens until spring. My favorite is lutz green leaf. Hope thats helpful!
@maramcmanus It’s funny you should say that about beets. As a child I hated them because I thought they tasted like dirt. I now by grocery store brands and roast them. The roasting sweetens the vegetable to almost like candy and I find the very tasty.
I do grow my own beets, but never looked into the chemical you spoke of. I love tops so much, that I use the root to continue leaf production rather than dig the beet itself. Good information Mara, appreciate it.
On another note, beets are fantastic for the stuff we need to create NO2 (nitric oxide). People older than forty need to supplement in order to maintain good blood pressure. Beets are an excellent source.
I am going to get on the mailing list to get the beet latte recipe. Thanks for the great idea Vanessa!
is that book by James Wong? I dont want to buy the wrong one! thanks!
The chemical is called Geosmin, for those who are curious!
@@dezaraevokey9021 Ok, cool. How did you happen to know the name. Did you do studies in agriculture?
@@celiauzarski2064 I actually learned it from another UA-camr, Jessica Sowards of Roots and Refuge :) (then followed it up with some google searching to verify the info)
You know what I like about you? Everything.
Absolutely! I love being able to get into a routine where I'm regularly sprouting (especially because it take so little time) but the issue is trying to eat them fast enough. Once I realized you can ferment them, it was a game changer! Enjoy!
You're a little bit crazy, but you are, hands down, the most talented homesteader and cook on UA-cam. Content and visuals are truly exceptional. Thank you.
Haha! I “wish” I could hide my crazy but it’s gonna come out, lol 😜. I’m happy to pass along what previous generations knew as normal, because so much is just as relevant now as it was then. You are making me blush with the cooking compliment! I ❤️🥰❤️
@@BecomingaFarmGirl Please Do not hide your skills. I tell everyone who will listen about your cooking and organization. You do thing I never thought to do. Love that you make it look so simple.
I LOVE her perky, animated personality. She is one of my favs for sure!
Such a great video and it’s so cool that you can ferment sprouts! Thank you for being a part of this collab and for the great video!
You, My Girl, are an inspiration to those of us are trying to cook from scratch. Fermentation is a plus! Thanks for your video!
My husband and I usually go out to eat around Valentine's Day but hardly ever on the day. As my husband says, "You need to be treating your wife like it's Valentine's Day every day of the year, if you want a great marriage."🥰
The lemon chicken is the best I have ever seen! Holding hands and praying really touched my heart💕 Blessings to you both and your adorable doggie.
Hey kiddo. Been a rough couple of weeks. Seeing your video was a highlight. Thank you.😀 -Natalie
Girl….. you were on point today. Love all your dishes. By the way, my husband and I have been married 30 years and in those 30 years we’ve only celebrated one Valentine’s Day in the beginning. Once I realize how much he was spending on roses, I told him just give me the money instead. 😂😂🎉🎉
He has told me many times how much he appreciates how much I’ve released him from that obligation.
I love the idea of fermenting sprouts! That sprouting tray looks incredible. Thank you for sharing with the collab! 😃
I can’t believe people don’t like beets 😂 they are my favorite veggie!!
Holy moly this video has EVERYTHING! I lost track of all the great ideas, so I watched it again. Sprouts. Gotta do sprouts 👍
Yes! Every single video is jam packed. @BecomingAFarmGirl I’m gonna need you to write a book! I need to reference all your ideas, systems, and recipes so much!
Cassandra, I stumbled across your blog and I immediately subscribed. I love, love watching your videos and seeing you work magic in the kitchen. I'm truly learning a lot and trying new recipes for my family. You are really a inspiration to me so keep doing what you're doing and just know that we're here and we need women like you to keep sharing the gifts that God has given you. Thank you my dear sister.
I look forward to each of your videos! The individual freezer meals are such a good idea! I feel inspired to try growing microgreens & bean sprouts (will be another 1st for me) & adding this recipe to my "try this soon"! So glad that you are participating in the Fermented February 2024 collab!!
Not only do you have a great video, you're also entertaining
I am loving Flipp. All of our local stores have gone digital, and it’s nice to be able to see ads in one place (I even found stores near me that I didn’t know existed).
I also found a vintage shredder like yours with all the cones while thrifting, and snatched it up, carrying it through the store like Golem with his ‘precious’. I love it for Cole slaw from fresh cabbage!
ISN'T FLIPP AMAZING! I just love that it puts that much information in a central location and is straight to the point. And, I AM SO HAPPY YOU FOUND A SHREDDER! Girl, I have used a manual one for years, but after a while, its hard on your hands. I keep my bowl and shredder on the counter so it's always ready to go. I love been able to get more (produce, veggies, etc) by buying whole ingredients because I have equipment that will make the job a cinch when I get home. SO PROUD OF YOU and happy you grabbed an excellent find!!! :)
Me too! 😊
I love your comment on the flowers. I was wondering if I were being weird asking for NO flowers! Love your practicality ❤
Maryland native transplanted to Virginia and we put Old Bay on everything! 😂
Congratulations on your freeze dryer!
Thank you! It's been a loooong time coming. Canning will always be my favorite way to preserve, but this gives us options.
I have watched a few of your videos, in the past. I am so happy that you are here for FERMENTATION FEBRUARY! Your energy and enthusiasm is so contagious! THANKS for all of the ideas and the explanations.
YUM - chicken and potatoes - looks scrumptious. Those sprouts looked pretty good too.
I would never have thought to do a mash with peas, but that is brilliant, thanks! The 'date night' clearance meals is a terrific idea! ❤❤
This is something I've never considered. I hate that sprouts go bad so quickly. This is a wonderful idea.
Linda here…as usual, another excellent video. One of, if not the best channel out there.
Awww, Linda you are too kind. I'm not sure what to say other than thank you! :)
couldn't agree more!
I feel you on valentines. We have my birthday (yesterday), valentines and his birthday all in 6 days. We have had a joint celebration for years. It also comes less than 2 weeks after our anniversary.
Lisa, girl it just makes sense and don't let anyone (including the pressure to participate in commercial holidays on a specific date) make you feel any different. As you shared, you and your husband celebrate, but its time that makes sense for you (and honestly, more genuine, I can't imagine having to cram in that many ocsasions in 6 days "just because you're supposed to do X on Y date). But, in other news, HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY TO YOU and may you be blessed with many more!
Pricing foods is 100% valuable in saving money on food! Thanks for sharing your fermented sprouts and how easy it is to grow them!
Love all your videos Cassandra!! So excited to see your freeze drying journey! This will be my goal in at least 5 years down the road.
Do you have a video on what you do with those big storing shopping trips to preserve the items? Does the block cheese and half and half go into the freezer? Great tips!
I agree with you about flowers! I’d rather have plants with roots!! Or seeds!! ❤
Haven't even watched and I'm SO excited!! Hope you and your hubby are well, plus cute little Thor ❤
Hi Friend! Yes, we are all doing well. It's funny you said this because (as you know now) I featured Thor and Tre in the video. What a thoughtful person you are!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl The plans you laid out are the ideal conditions for a date night in our house, so that brings me joy! Now to try this beet latte... 🧐
I can’t wait to make many of the things that you shared in this video! As usual you didn’t disappoint. I absolutely love and appreciate all your videos, recipes, handouts, newsletter, hacks and more. Thank you so much 😊
I love spouts and the only way to get them where I live is to make them happen yourself! But like you said, they go so fast! Fermenting them is genius!! LOVE the stainless stacking sprouting trays! can you purchase extra trays? Thanks for the idea🌱💚
Candice, you never seese to amaze me! I have butternut squash and onions I grew in my pantry, turkey from Christmas in my freezer and lots of rice. Thank you for showing me how to put all of these things into one meal. I'm looking forward to opening the file you sent and spending some time processing all of those resources. Thanks so much for EVERYTHING!
Hey Catherine! Always good to see you. Honey, you are going to love that turkey dish (but don't forget that it works well with any meat). If a meal is simple and can use the seasonal produce I have on hand, you know I'll find a way to mix it up and call it good. Hope you're having a good weekend!
her name is Cassandra :) not Candice
thanks@@RocknRollDina
@@catherinefrasier4051 no worries :D
What an awesome, awesome video! I've not thought about homemade sprouts and a price book. I too love watching PBS MasterPiece Theater. I need to watch Belgravia. I giggled when you and your hubby spoke in british accents (and I adore seeing Thor's squishy cute face 😂) I'm so inspired. Thank you so very much!
Hello friend! Embarrassingly, since we are such Brit theatre fans, we speak in English accents all the time with the other :). I love my time with my boys as we have tea and enjoy a PBS special. You are going to LOVE Belgravia!!!! Thank you for watching!
I’ve sprouted seeds for years but haven’t ever seen anyone ferment them. Thank you for sharing.
We spent Valentine’s Day cooking a homemade meal together. It’s a total date night. We laugh, tell stories ( we’ve been friends for over 40 years & married 37 yrs). Our tradition is to bake cookies and make candies for our loved ones then deliver them the day before Valentine’s Day, so we can relax and enjoy each others company without the hassle of going out, spending money on things we don’t really need and possibly ruining the day.
This is truly beautiful
I found a single valentines card when cleaning out my grandparents stuff. It was from 1931. DEPRESSION AGE. Their first valentines. Each year they passed it back and forth for 60 years of marriage instead of buying a new card. Make me cry. You don’t have to spend a lot to have a special day. ❤
Maybe this is why my grandmas borscht never tastes good when I buy store bought beets
Great info! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing!
Loved this video
I love this! Thank you.
Thanks great info
You inspire me so much thank you
Thanks for all the information!!
Nailed it again!! Thanks so much for ALL the info I lean into but go back to numerous times. Amen and Amrn on the valentine thing! Married 42 years and much rather fancy up a steak dinner and stuffed mushrooms at home than way-over-pay at a restaurant. Your channel is priceless to me!
Love watching your channel!
Thanks for sharing!
Love this channel
Can’t wait to try this
I'm with you about not needing or wanting flowers. I've told my husband he can take the money he was going to spend on flowers and save it to buy us a canner.
Thank you i truly enjoy your videos

Another great video! Thank you!
Oh my goodness! I just had to tell you that I downloaded the flipp app and I was just browsing through and noticed that TSC had the trailer hitch my husband has been looking for on sale for $100 off. Well I clicked on it and the price actually came up $185 off! Wow! You just saved us $185! Thank you so much!
Great video. Thanks ! I love my cheese shredder too!
In Nigella Lawson's first series Nigella Bites, she did an episode of fast food with the salmon (hers was with bacon) and mushy peas (petit pois whizzed up with sour cream and butter) and it has been a standard in my repertoire ever since- like Cassandra said, it's super fast and convenient and so satisfying! I have a butternut squash hanging about on my counter so I may make something like that casserole- it looks good for this raw Spring weather we're having!
Love the sprouted flumented salad idea .
