Thanks for joining me again. In this video, we make smash burgers, I used low-carb wraps but any wrap works well with this recipe. I've wanted to share this one for a while and now I'm going low carb before my surgery I thought you might like it too.
We also take a look at how I store my veggies to last for a few weeks in the fridge.

I am so excited to see another upload. I made your Anzac caramel slice, and it was fantastic. So far, every recipe I've made has been a huge success, so thank you 😊
I made that today also !!! 😅
@@Keturah53 : It's so good! Didn't last long in my house.
Thank you :-)
I made half receipt as I ran out of butter, but it was good.
I add water to the top of my carrot container i keep in the fridge. I change the water each week. The carrots stay fresh and crispy for weeks.
@Honey Farmers Wife :), your Iceberg Lettuce, my Mom showed me the TRICK to remove the CORE, GIVE THE CORE SIDE END A BANG/SLAM DOWN ON YOUR CUTTING BOARD or Countertop and it will come completely out WITHOUT having to use the KNIFE that gives it the rust color like you said. You'll love it this trick works PERFECTLY quick and efficient.
I do this too
I keep forgetting to use this method. Thanks for the reminder.
@@FarmersWifeHomestead When you next have a iceberg can you show us on a video please
Great video as always. Farrahs do a keto wrap thats even less carbs 2.5gm and more fibre. All the best for your upcoming operation. I think i get more joy from your videos than anything else on you tube at the moment. Thankyou for sharing your time with us❤
I keep the bricolli stalk, peel it chop it and add it in with my piraties to boil and then mash all together. Lovely way to get kids (and husbands) to eat greens 😅
I use broccoli stocks for cream of broccoli soup or I simply dice it all and sauté with salt, pepper and butter. Very delicious and snappy. Sometimes, if I need to bulk up the amount of vegetables for dinner, I also dice up carrots to combine with the broccoli stocks. Yum!
YUMM
Broccoli stalks are a yummy raw snack and nice in a curry
An aunt always throws away the stalks, smh.
The “rust” colour comes from the “milk” exuded from the cut surface same as a dandelion or milk thistle to which they are related -the flowers of a lettuce or like small thistle flowers😊
Thanks for your tips on storing vegetables. We'll get them all a try, maybe mine will stay fresher longer. I have a habit of putting them in the the crisper drawer and then I promptly forget about them.
I totally agree with prepping veggies; it definitely has cut down on waste. I'm going to try regrowing my green onions like you mentioned. You can also wrap veggies in aluminum foil and they will last a lot longer. I hit a head of lettuce against a hard surface, right on the bottom and then the core can be pulled out easily. The tacos look delicious
Oh yes, I forgot about the hitting of the lettuce head. A great tip! thanks
Hi aunty Stacie I liked your video keep it up
From Kobi
Hello Kobi and Pippa, it's so nice to see a comment from you. Thank you for watching and love you both XX
Lovely to see someone shopping and prepping via what is mostly seasonally available. And by what is on special.
Good way to budget and to eat healthy.
Good luck with your surgery
This video is perfect timing for me, lm about to become an "empty nester" after 33 years of cooking for kids l will be cooking for one and keen to learn some tips on how to make my vegies last long enough to use them up 👍
Nothing can prepare us to become empty nesters. Time goes so fast :-(
Hi Stacy awesome video, just wanted to say all the best for your surgery and hope that your recovery is speedy. Huge hugs xx
The Italian ladies roast their outer cabbage leaves.. my daughter and I have been doing it too.
Yes, cabbage rolls with the outer leaves.
Hi Stacey, another great video with amazing ideas to preserve our fresh food. Interested in keto ideas too if you’re keen to share meal options with us. Thank you ♥️🌟♥️
U.K. use green fridge bags ( stay fresh longer bags) Amazon for all carrots salads etc. food last long time in those plus can re use bags. Great tips. 😊😊
Just soooo good! How was I not taught this!!! a…why am I 61yo and only learning this now!!! You are changing my life!! I work full time…I can do this on the weekend and be ready for the week!!! Thank you for your efficient , clever, frugal tips!! Marry me !!! 💍 But maybe not you spoke of how lovely your husband is!! And may not be keen on frazzled office worker !!
Hahaha you made me laugh THANK YOU
I love watching you. I have been learning a lot of things from you. You are a great inspiration in the kitchen. I hope you have a speedy recovery on your knee. Keep the great recipes coming and great ideas on saving money on food and not wasting it. 😊
Hi, one of the very few 1 use gadgets I have is a lettuce knife, it's a nylon material and sharp but doesn't oxide the lettuce.
Wow! Never heard of that. Thanks for the tip. Can you get them in the supermarket?
I bought one when I was in the UK. It is great to use. I have even sharpened it using a knife sharpener.
LOVE HOW YOU MADE THE BURGER MICE WIYH A TORITILA HOPE YOU DO WELL WITH YOUR UPCOMING SURGERY
I use some heavy duty food grade plastic bags left over from when I used to grow salad for a local market, to store veg like celery and lettuce I can keep a head of celery for at least a month and lettuce for 2/3 weeks wrapped tightly in these bags 😊
Just yum. Great idea cooking the burger on the tortilla.
You're doing a great job..kind regards Karolyn
New subscriber here… :-) I watched a couple of your videos so far. I’m coming to you from North Carolina. The first video I saw you were prepping before surgery… Hope all went well and you are better!
I have learned tips from all of your videos that I have watched so far this one most importantly to me was, the proper way to store, lettuce, I never can get that to last long in my fridge.
I am doing smash burgers for dinner, and never seen it done the way you did. However, they look delicious. Definitely going to try it that way tonight!
When I make my big Mac sauce, I just open a bottle of thousand island dressing. Which is just mayonnaise, ketchup and relish mixed together basically !
I saw your seasoning blend video. Can’t wait to use those recipes… :-)
So glad I found your channel. Thank you so much for sharing :-)
Hi Stacey, thanks for another great video, your Anzac slice was amazing and was devoured quickly. Love your channel and hope your surgery goes smoothly.
Love watching and hearing you lovely soothing voice. Will pray for your surgery.
I find you very inspirational. I have learned a lot from your videos. ❤
I love the ideas thank you so much for them especially the cucumber mine keep going of real quick i keep the green part of the leeks i use them in my potato and leek soup store them inna freezer bag whack in the freezer
Does Woolworths in NZ sell fruit and vegetables that are not so beautiful for a little less? They do in Oz.It's to cut down on food waste.Because $4.99 for 2kg of carrots sounds very dear.
Yes they do! They're bagged as the Odd Bunch. Taste just fine and much cheaper.
Somehow I missed this one, but Ihave these playing on my laptop on mute while you are recuperating from surgery.
Great tips and recipe for smash burger Stacy ❤️🇳🇿🇳🇿
Stacey I’m surprised you don’t make your own mayo! It’s super easy to make, if you have a whisk or a blender or stick blender. Anyway might be something you want to try because it’s another way to save money.🥰❤️
I do make my own, I have a video on it already 😊 I had a big supply of store bought, and I'm down to my last one. Some of the family prefer store bought, so I will have to still buy it. ❤️
I’ve been cutting each of my vegetables into usable pieces and portions …and vaccum sealing them …some into bags …most into jars … this seems to work better than anything I tried before
Yes I love using jars and completely forgot to mention it as well as containers.
Sold on the Smash Burger. Thanks for another great video.
Hope you enjoy it!
Stacey, do you have a cushion mat in your kitchen for you to stand on while you cook? You are on your feet so much and it might be more comfortable for your feet and knees to stand on a cushion mat. I believe that it is common for restaurant chefs to use them to relieve fatigue. Maybe it will help you!
Yes, I do have one. It has been so amazing for me to use.
The smash burger taco looks delicious! I can’t seem to find your previous video where you made the hamburger sauce. Could you post a link to it or let me know the title so I can watch that one too? I’m really enjoying all of your videos!
I've looked everywhere for it. I know I filmed it but I guess I never published it. Ok, I will do another video of it soon. Thank you for reminding me.
Im going to give that burger a go! Looked delicious!
I always peel my broccoli stalks and steam them, they taste great. Just don't use the last inch of the stalk if it's woody. I think l actually prefer the stalk to the florets.
Broccoli stalks are delicious
I use to do fruit and veggie prep every Saturday after my shopping , and all the veggie scraps used to go in a pot for dog food with mince , I used to add pasta or rice . We had 5 small and 1 large dog so it was cheaper just to use the veggie scraps for them instead of stock .
Thanks for sharing. I used to do the same for my Rotti, she loved her homemade food.
Recently learnt about putting pumpkin in the freezer like you did the Kumera. Didn't know about the Kumera. Great tip. Thank you
I roast whole the largest pumpkin I can find as per Staceys pumpkin video. The flesh has no added water so it is rich and full of flavour. I squash into sandwich freezer bags and the are fantastic as a side or made into a quick soup. It also breaks off easily if you only want to use a smaller portion..such great ideas in all videos!
Thank you, it is a great way to have it all ready to use.
Yes, I've shown the pumpkin in another video as well. It's just so handy to have.
I'll be making the smash burger. It looks good! I store all my fresh vegies in calico bags in the humidity drawer of the fridge and i find that they keep much nicer than they did when I used plastic. I made the bags in all sorts of sizes to fit any shaped veg.
That is so interesting, thanks for your tip.
Carrots and Kumera makes a lovely soup, it's got a mild curry base and I sometimes add coconut cream to bulk it out.
I just stocked up on some freezer meals ready for an operation. I used some of your recipe ideas, thank you.
Sounds great! All the best for your up-and-coming operation.
Love watching you. The storage tips are great . Keep up the good work💕
I've watched quite a few of your videos and didn't realise I hadn't subscribed...fixed now 😊. I love your videos and made your anzac caramel slice, hubby loved it. I watch another lady here in Australia who does similiar content. Her channel is Our small footprint and she has the same trigeminal neuralgia as you. Hope your surgery goes well. 😊❤
Hello and thank you for subbing. I watch Nyssa as well and you are the second person to tell me she has TN as well. I've not seen any content of her saying it though. I should contact her.
@FarmersWifeHomestead Hi from across the ditch 😊 Thanks for your reply. Nyssa doesn't talk about it much, I think just in passing when she's had a toothache. I'm thoroughly enjoying your videos. Thank you so much for making them 💖
I think my kids will like these. Will definitely try
Your smash burger looks delicious! My family would love it.
I store my veggies similarly and they last quite a while in the fridge.
It’s always a surprise to hear you say you got something at K-Mart. Sadly, we don’t have those here anymore. I remember as a child loving to hear them say, “Attention K-Mart Shoppers, we have a Blue Light Special in aisle 4.” Simpler times then. 😢
Hi Stacey, I store strawberries in air tight glass jars in the fridge. Don’t wash, put in nice and dry.
Yes, I do the same as well. :-)
That recession salad is amazing!!! And we are eating more fresh veggies cos the cabbage is cheap and I only have to make one large batch which lasts for days.
Thank you for reminding me I should make up a batch too.
Can you please post the recipe for big Mac sauce 😂
Bless you, Stacy. Thanks for another great video.
I have no desire to do keto meals ..but it's Stacey ❤❤❤ so of course I'll watch and enjoy!
Me either, but some meals I prepare are keto, as others are vegetarian, vegan, Kosher, halal. I don’t do it by design, but they just fall into these categories by default. Therefore I have no problem with keto smash burgers. I use what I have on hand. If they turn out keto, so be it. Being keto isn’t a reason to stop me from making them, in exactly the same way having the word “halal” on a Vegemite jar won’t stop me buying Vegemite, nor will the word “Vegan” on a lettuce stop me from buying one, nor will “kosher” on a bread roll.
Why is Keto so scary?
@@hp-cs7mx Had a friend who would go nuts saying how bad keto was and refused to allow her kids to eat boiled cauliflower that was mashed and seasoned with butter like mashed potatoes. They were only allowed to eat boiled cauliflower florets seasoned with butter. As if the mashing somehow made them poison.
Yet another great video, I'm definitely going to try the burgers❤. Keep your vids coming I just love them, they're very helpful 😊
Top class ideas Stacey ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Stacey, if you’re doing keto you can buy keto wraps which are very low in carbs. From Farrah’s. 2.5g carbs per wrap.
It was a keto wrap :-)
When taking the air out of the plastic bag, close up most of the zip and use a straw to suck out the remaining air. My wife does this all the time now and it's easy.
Yes, I have used that method as well. I just don't have any straws :-)
Thanks for the helpful tips.
Did you find the missing sweet potato?
hahaha yes it rolled behind the dehydrator
I am losing weight for my second Knee Replacement and I do Keto because nothing else seems to work. Potato, rice and Pasta causes inflammation so i try to avoid eating these foods. Good luck with your weightloss..
Thank you, yes I seem to do well on it as well. All the best for your knee replacement.
love the idea of your smash burgers another way of using the wraps my hubby doesnt like them unless i use them to make him samosas so going to give these a try, and the storage ideas ,,even though i dont keep my eggs in the fridge was told it wasnt good for them thank you take care of those knees Stacy
Great idea :-)
Eggs are fine to keep in the fridge. It helps to keep them for longer.
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤ 😊now I'm hungry ❤.
Hi Stacey,the taco in a bowl looks so good i could taste it i have never seen anything like it i think that will be dinner tonight,sending healing prayers from Australia,Lee.❤
🦘
Let me know what you think. It is so yummy!
Thank you for the new ideas. Stay well. 😋
Thank you, You too
Awesome storage tips, I'm heading to my fridge now to put some into place. Take good care, Stacy 😊
That is great to hear, Thank you
I have stored my fruit and vegs in sistema containers for yonks. They keep much fresher and longer than the veg bin in the fridge. For those of us who don't have pigs or chooks - the outer leaves of cabbage and stems of broccoli get added to a bag for soup bits that I keep in my freezer permanently and use as needed. Loved your egg storers!
You make it all look easy Stacey. Thanks.
Hope you ar3 ok and the pain is t too bad xxx
Thank you
Here in the US I have never seen bagged mayonnaise. Our stores are still supplying it in plastic jars.
It is normally here in jars as well. I buy it in bulk and that is how it comes :-)
Wish the US would use paper bags again.
Really useful video Stacey. Love the tortilla burger, thats definitely one to try. I've used say half a red pepper and don't need the rest, i wrap it n kitchen roll making sure i fold the excess into the middle of the pepper and then it goes into a seald bag or container in the fridge.
Good ideas as always, Stacey. Hadn't twigged to just planting the green onions(duh). That smash burger/taco will be on the menu in future. Tonight it's salmon and salad as the frozen salmon was on sale. The prices you mentioned are mostly better than mine and more so once I convert the currency.
Wow! Your broccoli was cheap ! It's a great vegetable..
More awesome ideas Stace. Can I just ask...where do you get your gorgeous pinnies from? Hopefully in NZ? They're so cool
Yes, I grabbed them from Briscoes, and one I got in Perth last year. I am bringing out some of my own aprons soon, so watch this space. Pretty excited about it. A viewer sent me a beautiful one with my logo on it as well. I cant wait to show you all how beautiful it is!
Oh yay. That is exciting. Looking forward to it
3 yums from us thank you !
I made the slice and the grandkids and hubby loved it ❤
Wonderful! I'm glad you all loved it
Oh, I haven't tried making big mac tacos like that! Will have to give it a go (I usually just make big mac salad).
Couple of tips from someone who has been eating dirty keto for 7 years... farrahs do a keto wrap that has 2.5g carbs per wrap for the same price. Comes in pink packaging but just the same.
The warehouse sells Atkins bread mix, usually 2 for $12 that you can make into burger buns or rolls really easily. I get 8 decent sized rolls per pack at 5g carbs per roll.
Swede makes a fantastic addition to a roast, and has about 1/3 the carbs of spuds, and half the carbs of kumara. I roast swede and pumpkin with whatever meat I'm doing, and don't feel like I'm missing out at all :)
Love the idea of chopping leeks to keep in the fridge! Mine usually just sit on the bench accusing me of laziness 😂😂
I was using keto wraps, I probably should have said. I thought I did though hahaha. I do so well on low carbs diets but I LOVE MY CARBS hehehehe
@@FarmersWifeHomestead the packet looked like a low carb (9g carbs per) pack. Still better than a flour one! 😁
Lovely vlog considering i noticed you were in pain.Hope you are as comfortable as poss .You will be surprised as to the mice care you will receive in hospital.🏆😄
Great job! 💙👍🏻
Hi Stacey I have a large plastic knife that if I have to cut lettuce, I will use it. Apparently the browning of the cut lettuce edge is a reaction between the metal of the knife and the lettuce at a cellular level.
Yes. Tupperware used to have one for that reason.
@@maxineharris9536
Mines not Tupperware. Can’t remember where it came from but it was cheap😁
If you just bang the lettuce on the bench it usually dislodges the lettuce core
Hey stace,what is fejoa ,what is it like ,taste wise ,maybe i find your video on fejoa ,huh ,lol
It is really hard to tell the taste of it as it has its own unique taste. Yes, there is a video from a couple back. You can substitute the feijoa for any other pureed fruit.
That burger looks great...good ideas for storing veggies
Gonna try that smashburger and sauce.. was wondering if you you have a PO Box?
I will have one on Monday, I have finally saved up enough :-)
Hi stressing alot wanted to do relish today but can't find video on how to do the water canning
water bath canning pineapple is where you will find it.
I have heaps of feijoas still if you want some to preserve. We could meet in Hamilton if you want. I live in East Waikato
Luckily enough the tree had more up its sleeve and I managed to get some. I thought I might water bath some up. Thank you though :-)
This recipe is so common that it was to be included in Khal, so don't forget to add it.
=========================
Just here to support your sick leave. Rest up.
Thank you x
What was the brown powder you put in the dressing before the onion powder, thanks
There was paprika, garlic and onion powder :-)
We don't have a Kmart
Um um um um um
Dont waste the leek tops!
