Hi Jenn and Zachary. I just recently found you on utube and binge watched your vlogs a few weekends back. I’m so impressed with the two of you, the hardships you’ve endured and still face the day with those contagious smiles. You are very uplifting to watch. I’m especially impressed with your natural remedies. I am early 60s and have high blood pressure and pre diabetic. My Dr wants me to start taking blood pressure meds but I’d prefer to take a natural remedy and wondered if you had any suggestions?
I love rice..I love more to make rice pilaf..brown 1/4 cup fine egg noodles or orzo in a few tbsp of butter till browned..toss in 3/4 cup long grain rice..I like Carolina brand..coating the rice with the butter.. then add 2 cups chicken broth..cover and simmer 20 mins..yum..I take the leftover and toss with shredded baked chicken and heat on a skillet.. no waste
So funny,I'm a retired chef and my son got an instapot,instant, wanted pinto beans and I felt so stupid, I didn't know how to use the instapot,instant, I did it,wow so easy guess it was one of those things that it was to easy LOL ,HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY/NITE
Easy homemade enchilada sauce is 2 T. Butter or oil to 2T. Flour, cook for few minutes like a roux, add 1 T. Chicken base/boullion to 1 C water and add 2-3 T. Chili powder. Salt and pepper..so good and yummy
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN 🎉 I really enjoy your videos and your family. It’s something I’ve dreamed of having. Stuck in the city in California. It is what it is. I’m thankful for the roof over our heads and all the blessings God brings to my family.
I just watched Becky at acre homestead make fast vanilla with her sister. You just use your alcohol of choice and put it into pint jars and add split vanilla beans and process for 30 minutes. You can use old canning lids because your not canning it your infusing it. Then it is ready to use. I wonder if that would work with your moonshine? You should watch the video for details I haven't mentioned.
Just a suggestion- to make the most of your chicken, once you strain the broth take all the bones and veggies and blend into a paste (immersion blender is good) and then freeze in ice cube trays and then freeze dry. Makes great dog/ cat treats or supplemental food to help stretch the pet food budget. Happy birthday Jen! Sending hugs and blessings.
My family uses 100% pure silver hydrosol immune booster it heals from the inside out and we also use the hundred percent silver gel for the outside of the body these products work amazing but I’m definitely into the other tinctures and stuff but I have never tried them but I’ve always been amazed with natural products from nature and making natural medicine from our Native American remedies from plants. Awesome video as always, happy to see the goats. God Bless
I love this type of videos! Not sure if this is a regular type of video because I am new to your channel, but keep them coming if they aren’t! I get so many ideas watching meal plans!
I have found that the El Paso enchilada packages lose flavor the longer you have them. I also roll mine like burritos before I cover them. It does look delicious. Thank you for sharing this video. I love seeing you guys.
That egg tower is awesome!! Where did you get it? You guys are so much fun to watch because you are both so down to earth and are such a great couple who shares their day to day living with us. I take elderberry every day.
i appreciate this. Lately I'm feeling burned out on what to make to eat just lacking the mental energy to figure out and get it done. Stress and fear is a hell of a thing but I'm working on it. Prayers please. Happy Birthday Jen!
Happy birthday Jenn!!! We’re also a family without a microwave, we get tons of remarks from friends and family about it. So glad to hear from you that we’re not alone. It was so sweet seeing you with the goats. You can tell they are family members.
@@Nancy-zk9dj people at my husbands work are so surprised when he bring his meals and it real food in containers keeping it warm or cold. He opens it and it’s all ready to eat. While they wait in line for the microwave to heat their processed meals. He’s had comments from others about where do you get meals like that. He tells them our home kitchen. He said it’s like a Foreign language to them.
@@homesteadingwithapurpose9681 Isn't it crazy?! We work with some Amish carpenters occasionally, they too always have hot meals in metal containers, meat n potatoes stuff! ❤
I'm just wondering if you could do a cooking marathon over a week or if you have any canning or freeze drying you could show us please and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN !🎉🥂🎂
Hey y'all just subbed and wanna say that Becky over at Acre Homestead recently made some enchilada sauce, which she does every year from her garden, and I made it and it is the best I've ever had. The recipes in that videos comments. Blessins y'all! Happy Turkey Day!!
Y’all smiles are seriously contagious! I love seeing families smile & giggle together. It may not always be so, you can tell you guys have true love & laughs in your home
@@marywilson1442 because I watched the video and saw them take them straight out of the bag. Don’t try to be argumentative with me. I watch all their videos and have for a couple years now. I love them and just don’t want them to get sick. Thank you and have a blessed day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN!!!!!!!! I really loved this type of video with all of you. Enjoyed watching the meal prep for the day. Love watching all of your videos God Bless.
Jen, when I'm invaded by those blated fruit flies, GRRR!!!, I've found doTERRA Terra Shield in a little spray bottle, 20 drops add an ounce or 2 of water, shake each time y'all use, spray the pots and a little on top of dirt if bad. It's beed great. I also use the sticky yellow paper. Good luck. I love yalls coffee filter idea! Cool. Placed my order Blessings, julie
I've been so pleased with all the tinctures I received recently. Maybe I need to check out the other ones. Do you have, or plan to have Bee Propolis Tincture? You guys crack me up in the kitchen!!
Can you help me decide what tincture would be good to help with pain from arthritis? I am also on taltz injections which suppress my immune system. I'm just in pain so much and willing to try anything at this point. Hair and nail health would be a plus as well. I love watching you guys!
Every time I cook a chicken like that, I want to eat it straight out of the pot. Smells amazing and it is delicious. My dog enjoys me de-boning a chicken. 🤣
Hi! I tried your tinctures for the first time. I am using the hibiscus in my tea every morning, Is it ok to heat with the tea? Any tips on how to get the tumeric down? It is very strong, but we both need inflammation help! Thanks for all the great info you put out, your homestead is beautiful.
hello Jen thanks for everything you share. I have a question. you sell Lard I'm looking for someone who sells good quality. I was told that the commercial contains chemicals. please can you inform me where to buy it thanks
Just curious…WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF ADDING APPLE CIDER TO CHICKEN? The enchiladas look good but I use the whole package of tortillas and cram them in a 9 x 13.

Or if you want you probably can dry them because they are already a power and add them to your dog or cat food
Happy Birthday Jen for the 14th, my birthday is the 20th. I love your videos you make it's a pleasure to watch. You always have good helpful hints.

I don't know if you have done this yet, but that broth can be freeze-dried to make it shelf stable, rather than canned.
cook what you have on hand yep it often makes the best recipes--
🎉happiest of birthdays Jen 🎉
i appreciate this. Lately I'm feeling burned out on what to make to eat just lacking the mental energy to figure out and get it done. Stress and fear is a hell of a thing but I'm working on it. Prayers please. Happy Birthday Jen!

Happy birthday Jenn!!!
We’re also a family without a microwave, we get tons of remarks from friends and family about it. So glad to hear from you that we’re not alone.
It was so sweet seeing you with the goats. You can tell they are family members.
I mentioned once that I didn't have a microwave. A friend's little girl looked at me all puzzled, "How do you cook your food?" she said!
