- Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
- If you need a FAST and healthy meal prep solution you can rely on when you just don’t have the energy or time to manage a regular meal prep routine, having a few recipes that are already measured and mixed and just need to be cooked up on your stove top, in an Insta Pot or Crock Pot is something that anyone can do! You don’t need special equipment like an expensive freeze dryer or expensive food saver to get starter. I’m this video I’ll share how you can start learning to use dehydrated meals on jars to have delicious dry food recipes for breakfast, lunch or dinner ready in minutes without breaking a sweat (or the bank). These dehydrated dump and go meals are perfect for busy weeknights, camping, hiking or road trips. Let me show you how to meal prep meals that can still be considered “from scratch” by learning to dehydrate the easy (and delicious) way!

Hello friends! Happy New Year! I took some time to enjoy the Christmas break with my family but I’ve missed y’all so much! ❤❤❤❤ xoxo Cassandra
Glad you are back!!!
Dido
Yay! I'm a new subscriber and I was worried I found this channel too late! Wahoo!
Glad you took some time off, but I have to admit I have missed you, and your sense of humor. Love your recipes. God bless
Girl, I missed your videos so much! I happened to stumble upon your channel about 4 months ago and have feel in love with it. Happy new year and I hope you enjoyed your time with family ❤️
I have missed you!!!! Yes, I always pack our food for vacations. I plan meals out before we go and pack everything we need, even my own pots, pans and knives. Some ask me, “why your on vacation?” Having those meals planned and canned is so easy, effortless & takes little time. Love these prepackaged meal suggestions. Definitely going to get in that bean dip asap. ❤
Dido
Haha! We are the same in this, Chris! Between how much you save and how much better you can eat from your own pantry I always pack our food. I even keep a cooler in my backseat year filled with trail mix and other snacks. Happy New Year friend!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl Same to you. 🥰
By saving money where we could, even though others thought we were a bit odd, we were able to be debt free! Because of all of that, we made it through injury, layoffs, and illness. It has brought great peace of mind to us. We still stock up and garden, and we are building a greenhouse. This is our life, and we love it! We are more free than we ever envisioned. You are doing great things. Keep going!
So… I was watching this video just before midnight. You started talking g about that steel oats w/dates n stuff. I had everything on hand except I order oatmeal. So I literally jumped out of bed and went and made overnight oats and stuck it in the fridge for breakfast. Girrrrrl, I tasted the liquid when I was done and oh my goodness, that was so good. Can’t wait to have it for breakfast. Thank you!
I recently discovered your channel before Thanksgiving and binged watched all your videos. I love your spirit and energy it's so contagious. Thank you for the amazing content. I definitely need more! ❤️
Hi Sarah! Whoa, I'm blown away that we've recently spent so much time together :) I'm back to a regular (every 8-10 days) posting schedule. Hope your New Year is off to a great start!
Before I even watch this I want to say I was so happy to see a video from you drop today. I only recently started following you, but I missed you. I have rewatched so many of your videos to get my fix lol.
You are such a joy, because more young people need to subscribe and learn how to feed their bodies. Sending my brands your way. Herbal Detective,
Take Care
I always get excited when I see you have a new video up. And I was super excited to see that you were a part of. Canuary. Definitely a fan of your channel. You always have the most beautiful meals and the most creative ideas.
Yes girl. When we travel I pack tons of stuff. If there is a kitchen at the hotel, I cook all the stuff at home and travel with it. I put it in the fridge and just heat it all up when we come back in from our adventures. I keep it simple, breakfast sandwiches, spaghetti, salad, etc. There are five of us and it can get expensive eating out all the time.
Yvonne, honey we are peas in a pod. While I'm pretty minimal when it comes to packing my (and husbands) clothing bags, its likely because I know I'll need all the room for my electric skillet, jars, coolers to take the remnants of any fresh produce or milk I don't want to expire along with our canned goods/meals in jars. I love trips, but honey the older I get I find that I only have gotten more stubborn about shelling out money for a meal I don't enjoy. Like you, most meals are simple and its always worth it.
This video was so informative. Thank you. That bean dip looked delicious.
Great to see you back in the saddle!
I too had seen Heidi at Rain Country use the brake bleeder, and made sure I had one as a back up if I should need it.
Cassandra, you have the most beautiful and inspiring kitchen and cooking videos! Thank you for all you do to bring this to us! Happy New Year!
Pam! It’s always lovely to see you! I am so happy to finally have other friends that I can share my small but cozy kitchen with. Meals in jars of any kind are always a lifesaver! Happy New Year!
I am amazed that you can make everything you make look like something I must add to my diet. The way you present the food is picture perfect. I can, both water bath and pressure canning. I dehydrate food but we have no freezer. We also buy freeze dried food. Love your channel! You have a congenial personality. Thanks for your channel.
Wow, Alice you are too kind. Isn't the ability to preserve your own food without needing a freezer just empowering? From canning to fermenting to dehydrating, and yes, supplementing with freeze dried foods you can get a truly delicious and well stocked pantry. Alice, I'm truly a home cook but I appreciate your words about my meals! Nothing "looks" better to me than homemade. Happy New Year!
Great ideas. I just order my food dehydrate. I do not like freeze dry food. But I love dehydrate food.
Thank you for showing how to do at. I know its going to help me and others . Have a beautiful day.
These are amazing recipes!! I have to get on the freezedryed bandwagon!
I just discovered this video, and yes! I pack at least half of our food for every vacation. In 2021, my younger daughter and I went on a two week camping trip out west. To save money, we prepared and dehydrated every meal ahead of time. All of our meals fit in one small box, and cooking and cleanup was easy. We ate well at every meal! I even planned desserts😊
I live alone, and I love using my dehydrator to keep fruit and veggies from getting bad. As soon as it starts to look a little wilted, I dehydrate.
You are wonderful to watch. Charming and thoughtful. Thanks for sharing you knowledge.
Yes, another video! We have been waiting.
Cassandra, your videos are the best. The BEST.
Veruca, you are just slathering on the compliments thicker than my grandma's biscuit gravy! 😊 I'm so happy you find my videos helpful. You know I struggle with OCD (Obsessive Canning Delight). Hope your New Year is off to a great start!
WOW! How wonderful to find your channel again. My computer went crazy and I lost EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. My husband and I are planning a trip to wherever the road leads us to. I will absolutely be packing our meals to take with us. Thank you for sharing your love for food with us.
Love this!
I am loving your channel. I am going to suggest this to all of my friends. You deserve a lot more followers and your ideas and quick tips are amazing. Keep the ball rolling we are watching.
Holy smokes sister! That blew my mind!
Your videos are always so helpful and informative--thank you!
Your videos are so amazing ! You are very talented! We’re you ever able to post your sourdough pie crust recipe anywhere? I had asked before thanksgiving but I think you said you had tech challenges! Would still love to get that!
Brilliant Ideas
Hi Casandra I just started watching your UA-cam videos. You are amazing you brought back my childhood memories from the days I spent with my AUNT she did not throw away Anything. My husband and My son and I were talking about growing our own vegetables. As I was searching i came across your UA-cam videos. I couldn’t stop watching I was and is blown away. All these things came rushing back to my mine with the educational information that you offer thank you so much for what you’re doing. You REALLY NEED your OWN TELEVISION Show if that’s what you want. God bless you.
Thanks for all the good ideas.
Love these recipes thanks for posting
Oh my goodness loved this video ♥️♥️♥️!!
So glad I found you. Thank you
I always miss your videos when you have a break, but as soon as I see a new one, I know why immediately! Your videos are just such a treat and so, so incredibly well crafted during every second!
Hello Jess! You are too sweet! Honey I am honestly trying to be more consistent in the New Year, but some times work gets crazy. I'm hoping to add more "sit and chat" videos this year, along with my canning and gardening videos. Hope you had a wonderful holiday!
Very smart...thank you for sharing..
I love this idea! Definitely going to try some of these meals.
I'm enjoying your channel, so much information. Thanks
So glad you are back!!!!! Missed you! Hope you enjoyed your time. These meals look delicious
Hi Lana! You are too sweet. Thank you for well wishes! Honey between work and all the events that happen around the holidays time totally slipped. I'm back to my regular positing schedule. Hope your new year is off to a great start!
Always enjoy watch your videos with all the delicious meals. Thank you soooooo much for sharing your recipes with us 😊.
Thanks for the great ideas for meals in a jar.
Yes! I love it when you make these videos! BTW, we lost electricity a couple of weeks ago and we still ate just fine because I had dehydrated shepherds pie in the pantry. You wanna guess where I got the idea to make that 😉
I have mushrooms delivered from a local grower and I just made some uh - may - zing mushroom powder with homegrown, dehydrated ramps, garlic scapes, onions and herbs. I added nutritional yeast and it’s great even as a medicinal sipping broth or mixed with cream on some pasta. I’ll check out Thrive life, I’m doing a 6 month savings challenge for our freeze dryer but this will help in the mean time.
Nikki! Hey lady, its always good to see you! Oh my word I am so happy that you were prepared for the power outage. The weather in my neck of the woods is supposed to get moderate snow next week and I cannot tell you how much peace of mind a pantry that doesn't rely on electricity provides. That mushroom powder sounds DIVINE and I love how you have it at the ready for broth or pasta!!!!
You are wonderful!!!!
Happy New Year Cassandra, missed your videos, you are awesome 🥰
You are a genius! Thank you for these great ideas!
I so happy to see you on today, been watching for a new video. Thank you I learn so much from you
So good to see a video from you! Merry late Christmas and happy new year!!
Your videos are so motivating! Working mom here Def. Making some of these for sure. Great if the power goes out to if you have a wood burning stove 😊
Great video! Thank you
Sooo helpful! Thank you, Cassandra! I've been wanting to make meals in jars but just haven't done it yet. This looks so easy, and delicious.
I just love your channel!
Missouri Girl! Always lovely to see you! I hope your New Year is off to a great start. Between work and plans with the family during December my time seemed to vanish (in a good way). It's good to be back to a posting. Have a great week!
We have missed you, 😢
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you
and yours. 😊
Your videos are great. I like how fast you make them, so the viewer can determine if this is something they want to try.
Love these meal/prep ideas.
I’m new to your channel and I just want to say thanks for all the amazing content. 😊
Happy New Year!!! We've missed you too!! Love all your fantastic ideas and can't wait to try some of them. I too want a freeze dryer. One day. 😊❤
Outstanding video!
Thank you very much!
You are absolutely amazing and your recipes are fantastic!! Thank you for sharing!
I love your videos.
This is exactly what I needed. I’ll probably need bigger jars or several jars for our good sized family. Great personality and great ideas. Love it
DIY dehydrated refried beans 🥰thanks for the inspiration!
OMG! Just found your channel! Aren't you just the cutest thing! So vivacious and full of good info! Guess I will have to binge watch all your videos!!
Wow, that is why I like your channel so much you don't hold back any information. Out of the dozens of channels I follow for meals in jars and also the dozens, if not more books I have read or purchased, not one of them ever mentions to store the meat portion of the recipe separate from the other ingredients. Can you please tell everyone why this is important?
You should also point out to your viewers, especially if their aim is to store these recipes in a (Mylar) bag. They should first store them in a glass jar for 5-7 days to make sure that no condensation or mold appears. If condensation appears, they can dehydrate the contents for a few more hours to make sure it is thoroughly dry, but you have to catch it right away before mold has the slightest chance to take hold. Once it's in the bag you cannot see what is happening there. Thank you so much for sharing your delicious recipes and your much-appreciated knowledge. May God always Bless you with good health, safety, and prosperity in all you do. ~SuzyJC-in-Central-Southeastern-Ohio_10.14.2023~
Enjoyed this vid, but, my goodness, you have some beautiful dishes that look hand made!
I got a dehydrator for Christmas, and these are just the kind of recipes that I’m looking for!
Looking forward to trying these thanks enjoyed this 😊
You’re welcome 😊
I love to make those dehydrated meals, or ingredients in a jar! Fun for gifts.
Hey! We've missed you. Hope all is well. Glad to see you back in the kitchen!
You are too sweet! The holiday was so busy this year but yes, I’m glad to be “back”!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl 🙌🏿💜
So good to see a new upload! I've missed you!
Aww, Joan this is so sweet. Thank you! I missed posting too, and it wasn't my intent to be away for so long but between work and several unplanned but very fun family gatherings its been a while. I've got several Jan/Feb. collabs I'll be participating in so its great to be back!
Just found your channel and wanna say your twists are hella bomb.
This video reminds me of the Semi Homemade cooking show the food network but for homesteading. Using freeze dried food in meal preps is brilliant! Hopefully i can get a freezer dryer and a country homestead one day.
Wow! This is an awesome video, thanks for the idea.
So Glad you liked it, Denise!
Who I am going to try some of these I tell you what they look so good. Thank you for sharing.
I just adore you 🥰 I can't wait till you do get a freeze dryer. Your energy and enthusiastic approach to cooking and putting aside food for the future is so infectious. ❤️. I just know you will bring such great things to the kitchen when you get à freeze dryer.
I`m glad to see you back. I have enjoyed all your video`s.
Hi Patty! Firstly, Happy New Year! I didn't realize that between work and a few extra events that my family planned that I would have zero time during my brief day job break. I have several collabs coming up this month and a new canning recipe! Hope your New Year is off to a great start!
I had hoped you were on a holiday break. (We all need them - hope your time was filled with joy). Thanks for all the great ideas! When I use my brake bleeder to seal jars, I def. have to use the technique Heidi showed as my hand strength is just not good enough to reach that PSI 20! (smile)
Wow I like that.thx.
So nice to see a video from you today! I love your tips, your energy and how inspiring you are. Thank you!
Hello sweet friend! I'm happy to be back to posting after unplugging a bit to spend time with family. Dehydrated meals in jars really come in handy. Hope your new year is off to a great start!
Oh my gosh! I've missed you & your videos!
And this one was awesome!!!
Thank you kindly, sweet friend!
I'm so glad to see a new video! They are so entertaining and informative. You put so much into them. Thank you! 😊
Heidi! Always good to see you! Blame it on my OCD (obsessive canning delight)! Happy New Year!
Hey Sis! Good to see ya! 🤗
I love these assembly jars! So smart!
Take care!
Nicky!!!! Lady, how are you, so good to see your face! Happy New Year!!!
Great tutorial. I’ve been doing meals in jars for years! I got a harvest right last year and it’s been a game changer. My latest batch was tomato basil soup with freeze dried croutons and cheese. If I ever have a fire I’m grabbing the grandbabies, freeze dryer and my Excalibur (probably in that order.😂) Love your channel.
Thank you for the excellent video. Looking forward to creating dehydrated dump meals.
You are so welcome!
Lots of great meal ideals. Thanks for sharing. Make 2023 a great year.
Thank you! You too!
This video is gold!! Thank you so much!!
Awww, Kristy I'm so glad you found it helpful! Dehydrated meals in jars is where its at! :) Happy New Year!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl Happy New Year, lovely lady!
Love your channel, recipes and energy. Thank you so much! God Bless!
You are so welcome
Great idea! My husband and I are thinking of ways to stock food. We will defiantly check out thrive
Meals in a jar a wonderful idea! Thank you.
You are so welcome!
For diabetics swerve brown sugar goes well with the steel oats recipe 😊
Thank you for sharing. I have been eyeing a dehydrator for some time now. I never thought to buy freeze dried product to supplement what I have.
Happy New Year Miss Cassandra! I'm glad you got to spend time with your family! Your parents are so cute! I hope they are both doing well. Looking forward to more inspiration and motivation from you in 2023!
Happy New Year Brenda! Thank you so much, and I hope that you also had a lovely Christmas and New Years. Dad will be featured in a bulk meal prep video I've got coming out later this month. I too am looking forward to more pantry preservation recipes, small space vertical gardening, and learning to become a farm girl even in the city! "See" you soon :)
Happy New Year Cassandra!!! I'm so excited to see this new video, since I've started my urban homesteading journey with DEHYDRATING ♥ Thank you for being such an inspiration and breaking things down in manageable ways. Can't wait to see what we accomplish in 2023💖
🎉 Happy New Year to you too, honey! You can totally do this and starting with dehydrating is the way to go! Keep me posted on your progress!
Just found your channel... So awesome!!!
Awww, thank you Leta!
You never disappoint with your ideas, creativity and energy! Thanks for another inspiring video.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Cheryl! Your words are too kind my friend!
Love my Cosori...so quiet! I hear many preservers are thrilled with their freeze-dryers, too. I love dehydrating foods...they are super-lite, super-easy, & fit in smaller spaces. Freeze-drying, is quite an investment for fairly old technology, so I'm just seeing how that rolls yet, but is on my wish list, for sure...closest to 'fresh, so far. (lol My phone does way too much not to expect finer life-techs otherwise.)
Putting up Pantries should be a priority right now, & much thankful blessings sent to those who show good ways to do so. It's nice when 'lost arts' are no longer 'lost', yes? And these types of 'arts' make for excellent Homeschool projects. Win-Win-Win! Thank you, & Blessings to Continuance, Darlin'!
Happy New year , Cassandra..I had just found your channel a few months ago and I was so excited that your videos came across my you tube page … I really enjoy your energy and I also want to move on a homestead. I pray very soon.. the odd part is that after binge watching all your videos, I got up enough nerve to write you a comment but then you disappear, I pray your family is well..I’m from Pennsylvania and would love to email you if I could to ask you a few questions about canning.. peace to you and your family .. Melissa
What a great idea! Never thought about meals in a jar dehydrated! Thank you 🥰
You are so welcome!
I ordered one thank you
Hey lady!!!! HUGE congrats at being a presenter at HOA!!!! I was so excited when @Mennonite Farmhouse called me!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm new to your channel but I am learning so much and really enjoy the quick easy way you do things.
Hi Carey! Welcome and thank you for saying hello! You said it exactly-there are so many quick and easy projects that can really start to add up to big changes in your pantry! Dehydrating is certainly one of them!
You so need to make a cookbook 🌞♥️
Happy New Years, Cassandra. So glad to catch up on vid. i am a Stroke Survivior an have a autoimmune condition so when i saw all the possiblities of making quick and long term meals for myself so easy, I knew I had to be in the right place. Thank you so much for posting. Peace and Blessings in the year ahead. Sunshine State.
Happy New Year Rene! I"m so glad you found this helpful. And yes, having quick pantry meals on the shelf comes in handy in all types of situations.
Happy New Year, Cassandra! I love your content. Including how to use canned items is so helpful. Made Carrot Cake Conserve over Christmas break. I get taking your time to enjoy Christmas break- I teach 4th grade and needed the down time and rest as well as time with family. Canning has offered me a way to have shelf stable meals and meal starters to make when I am suffering from "decision fatigue." Answering the "What's for dinner?" question is seriously hard when my brain is tired at the end of the school day. LOL
Hello, CP! Happy New Year to you too :) Isn't the carrot cake conserve so addicting!!! Whew, since you're a fellow educator, I know you can relate that you are just utterly drained and barely holding on until December break (the stretch from Thanksgiving to Christmas break is the worst, right?) lol. Decision fatigue is so real and honey you and I are totally on the same page when it comes to coming home from work.
Pre portioning freeze dried meal ingredients is super clever! It reminds me of backpacking. I also love that you can use this approach to delegate meal prep to a sous chef.
You said it best! While these meals are a small portion of my pantry they certainly come in handy between busy work days, sickness or just when I need a “cheat” day. The stress is off knowing I have everything already measured out! Happy New Year!!
