Just found your Chanel, I am addicted and in awe of you , watching from Australia
I made a pie for my step dad years ago. He ate the filling out of it and demonstrated how bad it was by pounding it on the table! I went to my Grandma's house and learned how to make it. The main trick it DO NOT OVER WORK IT! you may get away with rolling it out twice, but after that, you may as well start over. By the way, I never made another pie for my step dad.
I wouldn't have either! That's so rude!
I would have done the same to his face with the pie lol 😂
Using cold fat is really important too. :)
I dont make pie crust unless I have to because I end up with flour all over the place.
Hey sweetie, I lived in an Anchorage for 19 years.. you just reminded me of the great harvest bread company.. I loved it.. My daughter is still living in Wasilla.. My granddaughter lives in Anchorage . she's an RN.. I just love watching your family ...you have such a Loving family.... Love you
Sailor Boy crackers…
Mix canned salmon with cream cheese and spread on the top. Or mix canned salmon/smoked salmon and Mayo or cream cheese and spread on cracker. Your boys would love just a slice of cheese on top of a cracker and melted in the microwave! Great with peanut butter & jam on the top. Egg salad, chicken salmon. Also, we fry them in bacon grease. Ideas come from the village of Hydaburg in SE Alaska
Thanks for the tips! Those all sound amazing!
@@ThisAlaskaLife Agree 👍💯%
In Hawaii we called them saloon pilot crackers. On Sunday we would make cocoa and crackers. Some of us would put butter and sprinkle white sugar. But our pilots came in a 5 gallon tin can. Our happy memories. Thank you for sharing
It was so nice to meet you too!
Funny story…..I worked in a grocery store in Northern BC 🇨🇦 years ago and Elderly native people would come in asking for Hard Tac and I had no idea what they were talking about…..then I learned it was a pilot biscuit ( that was the name on the package it came in…..in clear cellophane wrap ) but looks exactly the same as what you bought 😄
Love watching your videos. Everett is adorable 🥰
Everet is a very smart and has a great imagination. There isnt much he doesnt think of. He is very entertaining and funny.
Love listening to you while i go about my day
Luna must have been so happy to see you come home.
I always find it very odd how many countries don't actually use a kettle! When mine stops working it's replaced as soon as Amazon can get it to us - I'm from the UK
Miss Luna is such a gorgeous cat, the stripe’s on her remind me of my cat Gadsden he was so handsome it’s been years since he passed away but he was a great cat.
I live in Juneau. Our Costco does not have a bakery. Pilot bread is a big deal in southeast too. Fishing villages and boats. Really good with salmon spread or jam.
I make my own vanilla extract. I’ve used vodka, spicy rum and bourbon. You can’t beat making your own.
Awesome vlog. Luna has such beautiful eyes.
😂 I love how realistic your Costco shopping videos are, it's slowly giving me courage to do the same in my location.
Hi Lauren This Alaska Life! I enjoyed this video! Love all the food! Happy Holidays! Great video!
So interesting to learn about the Pilot Bread. I love when you tell us about Alaskan items. That was quite a haul at Costco. I can't find cauliflower in my area at all. The cookies look yummy but that salad you got looked AMAZING! So jealous. 😉
Take the pilot bread, add butter and crush into your coffee or hot chocolate!! Amazing, we used to eat that as a dessert in Hawaii. We had a factory on the big island that made them!
Yum! We will try that with our hot chocolate!!
Loved the Costco haul 🛒🛍️. Glad you had a safe trip and got back safely. Macarons look yummy and the Sailor bread or crackers.
Thank you for being the person you are.
Tell your family hello Blessings to each one of your family
Massachusetts has a Great Harvest. Sometimes they have an apple pie bread. Literally like apple pie rolled in bread dough. Absolutely delicious.
Pilot Bread has a REALLY long shelf life -- Lots of Preppers keep it on hand
..I love the Costco shopping runs...I've only been in one twice but I love being in one...everything everywhere.....
Great haul , good deal finding Bennet a box spring . Nice to see people wanting to say hello on the channel. Glad you enjoyed Hawaii!!!
I've never had macarons! Maybe I should give them a go! Happy your back from Hawaii. I always pull my hair back when I wear a jacket.
Great costco haul! I am so happy you were able to find a box spring! I love the shampoo that you bought. Have a great day!💕💕
Couldn't make pie crust either until I found Betty Crocker oil crust. Have had great compliments and it's easy peasy!
My dogs don't get along with cats so I have to live vicariously through other cat owners so I always love seeing Luna. Thank you! :)
Loved the date wraps idea. Thanks
First time watcher. Love watching. My youngest daughter lived in Anchorage. She passed away almost 4 years ago from cancer at 46.
I came unglued when I saw the Sailor boy Pilot crackers. I love then with a little butter. It's funny I've been looking everywhere here in Washington state. We are about 35 miles north of Seattle. But it's no where. So enjoying. I'm jealous!
God bless you and your family.
Meŕry Christmas !
thanks for the go pro suggestion :) I always want a cat after seeing clips of Luna all snuggled up!
Lol! I loved sitting in the fridge with the ham!
Hi Lauren it is Friday morning and I’m enjoying watching you shop.
The shirt fits him perfect
Oh my gosh I haven't had sailor boy crackers since I moved from Alaska they are so good with butter on them eating soups or you can toast them put butter and jam or you can just put butter and pepper yummy yall are so blessed
I was editing this video and just watching it made me want some. I went and grabbed a few as an editing snack. Thanks for the suggestion and I'm glad it took you down memory lane!
Butter or cream cheese with creole seasoning on it is the bomb.
If you have tenderflake lard there, on the back it has the recipe for making homemade pie crust. It will make 6 pie crusts and they are easy and freaking delicious to make. One of the recipes I do with the pie crust is make homemade cinnamon rolls out of it. That's how my momma and nana made theirs. Blooming delicious.😊
The best pie crusts are made with Tenderflake Lard. Recipe right on the box, use the whole box , mix it all, you get 10 balls and they freeze beautifully. Take two out, thaw it out, roll out, into your pie plate and cook. The best and flakiest pie crust ever. Unfortunately, you can't get in the U.S. - made in Canada. When I lived in the states for a few years, my family would ship a couple of boxes down. I tried everything and nothing and I mean NOTHING beats it.
Going to have to try the macarons. Y’all seem to really like them !! ThePiolet Boy Bread sounds very interesting !! 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Your skin and hair look really great!! The Hawaii sun has you glowing
“In the fridge,behind the ham.” 😂😂😂😂😂❤
Good morning Lauren for a minute I thought Everett with you. Love your grocery haul’s. I have a kitty and she loves to cuddle in the sun.😮
15°F this morning in Northeast Wisconsin. Love your videos!
Hi!!! I’m NEW !!! Totally enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing your life with us. I liv your hauls🇨🇦🇨🇦Vancouver BC
429. I still love the Costco hauls but do miss the sample king Everett
I miss him too!
Good evening Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful day 🌞
Macarons make the best gifts, you can't beat them 👍
When my sister used to make her Pies instead of using water she I used concentrated Orange juice And they were so good I used to think she brought them from the shop
So I mastered pie crust but just don't wanna anymore, lol. So a friend of Brenda Gantt showed this recipe for a simple easy crust. And I did all my Thanksgiving and just because it's so easy pies and even hand pies.
PIE PAW CRUST
Make directly in your pie pan!!!
1 1/2 c All Purpose flour
1/4 t salt
2 T sugar
Mix
Add 1/2 c. Oil
3 1/2 T of whole milk
Mix with a utensil then use hands till totally incorporated. Using hands flatten the crust on the bottom and up the sides. And flute the edges. Blind bake if needed otherwise fill and use those directions. Fits a deep dish perfect but has a little excess for shallow pans that I just use on the edges for a nibble of some tasty crust when done.
It was suggested and I agree to freeze them before filling or blind baking!
Blessings y'all!!
That big Costco cost is 365,00$but I 'm not really sure because sometime we always pass our budget! 👌👍❤ wow I miss it!😆😆
I’ll say $515, now I need to go to Costco to check out the shampoo & conditioner. Hope your vacation was awesome. 😊
Yum even mayo yummy
I so enjoy your videos!❤️🙏❤️🙏☮️
Thank you Annie! So thankful to have you here!
How funny. About the hair mess, me too. And some years I do cut it off. Every three or so years I have enough!. Love your videos.
Good evening! Welcome home guys! As always, enjoy your grocery hauls. Your boys are so helpful. Take care and stay warm. Hafa adai and love from the island of Guam 🌴🌲🎅🤶🌴
I'm so sorry, I just clicked on ur channel, a friend told me about u and ur family. What does ur husband do for a living. U r down to earth this is why ppl love u, that includes me too.
Hope you had a great vacation. Glad you found a mattress. Great volg.😍
Love this, and all of your content!
Thank you so much! We are grateful you're here!
I like True Lemon products lots of flavors instead of Crystal Light. I get them off Amazon. Great stock up/ winter treats haul
I love the strawberry lemon. We just quit drinking crystal light after the dentist told us it was really bad on teeth🙈we do the true lemon, all natural flavoring😄
The Costco tuxedo cake is a favorite of my family. So delicious
Good Morning Hamm Family ❤️
Hey Lauren, those Sailor Boy Pilot Bread are yummy. I have them in my pantry as I type this. Thank you for sharing the history of them. I love them with: Nutella w/wo banana slices, peanut butter and honey, cream cheese and preserves, cheese spread, just cheese, for dipping in soup, chili or stew, or hummus, etc. Yum 😋
I love seeing the boys helping to bring in the groceries and helping each other in the process... or jump scaring... Yes Bennett, I'm talking to you 😁
Hi Miss Luna. "Mom I love you, but the bed and blanket are just too cozy, but I will make my obligatory appearance... then back to cozy" 😻
Those macarons look delicious. We bought some the other day from a local bakery. Mmmm 😋
Have a great day. Yah's Blessings ❤️
Thanks for sharing this :) Cameras should be stored in the fridge!! hehe🤣
I guessed $450. Your not alone when it comes to making pie crusts, the ones you got are just as good as home made. Enjoyed your shopping at Costco with all the attention you were getting talking to yourself. he he Give Everett extra kisses back from me, & hugs to all of you from me. Have a nice weekend.
The pecan pie was $16.99 here too. I bought my pies this year at Costco.
Love the story and your children are so sweet
eggs cheaper in AK we paid 16.80 for the 60 pack i.about died lol last year idk if it was a mistake or what but 2 18pk eggs 2.00 so I bought 5 2pks I told hubby if we did have dogs or if we lived in old house I'd have chickens our old house was on big lot but not this one n did pick this part for smaller yard now thinking otherwise lol but house.bigger n 1 story I can't do stairs anymore
Check out Martha Stewart’s recipe for pie crust. You can use a processor. Easy and free zeable. Butter crust so no crisco
Ah new vlog just in time to watch with breakfast 😌☺️
The price of strawberries have gone up to $11 here in Connecticut for 1 small container 😩
Love the song.😂😂😂
Those crackers are popular in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland Canada. There is a town in northern Alberta and the local grocery store was fully of down east foods because the local population was mainly from the east. I really liked the pilot biscuits.
Love your videos
Same temperature here in south east of England we been 6c
Glad you are back from Hawaii as they are having eruptions. Great place for the camera 😆.
I tried the pineapple bacon sausages this week. They were delicious!
good vid ....love your shopping vid's....& I saw Luna...yayyyyyy...she was very comfy & warm on the bed.....god-juss girl xx
Love your boy's they are fantastic ❤️ 👏
I love your shopping episodes!!! So interesting. 🤗❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🙏🎄⛄️🎅❄️🇨🇦
my son when high was a nevada state wrestling champion n nowcoaches wrestling n football at the high school he teaches at. I so happy to see hunter wrestle. please so a bit of a meet if u go I loved going to the meets n all the sporting events my kids did
I stuff some cream cheese in dates then wrap them in bacon. So yummy !
OOOHHH that sounds good too! The sweet and salty together can't be beat!
Dates stuffed with almonds…gonna have to try that. My bacon wrapped dates usually are stuffed with goat cheese. 🙂🐐🧀
You make me laugh all the time about how you say Mac (Rons) ❤️ i believe it is called a Mac (Roon),I love watching you and your family! It makes me excited to know you and your husband can teach them the Alaska life, You have the sweetest boys ever!
Ugh no its macaron, macaroon is a different cookie. So you have been saying it wrong, for some reason no one seems to get the difference between these two things.
People confuse the two all the time . 😊macaroons are made with sweetened coconut and egg whites, (my favorite ). is barefoot, Contessa’s recipe . Macarons are a fancy French cookie made with almond flour. My kids love them , so many unique flavors and they’re so pretty😊
Macaroons are a mounded cookie with lots of coconut it in, macarons are two thin cookies with a tasty filling between. Both are usually gluten free and due to them sounding so similar many do not understand the difference... the biggest difference is that one is super easy and the other is super easy to mess up. Lol
Hi Luna. I hope your day is going good.
Pilot bread great with peanut butter!
We always take pilot bread and peanut butter when we go out berry harvesting. And just load the top up with whatever berry we have.
hi Lauren ❤❤❤ my favorite thing, Costco!! yippee, yahooo!! among other places❤ happy holidays to you and yours!✌✌ hugs and kisses 💋😘😗😚😙🤗💋
Love the Costco hauls but the prices scare me! Your family is wonderful and you are a great mama 🙏❤️
They aren't that bad imo
I was never into ramen, it was always for the kids, but one night I decided to use up my kimchi before it went bad so I cooked it with a pack of ramen and oh my goodness, it’s one of my new favorites, I don’t eat it often but it’s perfect for cold weather. If you like kimchi, give it a try together!
I got introduced to it during the 'shutdown' of COVID and there was little on the shelves then I had to stop because I was eating it everyday! I was hooked! I did stop and tried it again recently -- i read the 'warning' label and it suggested that children under 15 should be supervised eating it ! Seriously -- a 14 year old needs supervision ?
It's good with pilot bread and salmon salad, or a fried egg on it too.
@@sittonpretty6146 I need to try it with an egg, it looks so yummy!
Nothing wrong with a bought pie crust. Pillsbury does it well. Thats all I’m saying!
Get the cinnamon chip bread sliced , put it in the toaster and some butter on it… 😋😋
Yum
I beat you. We got a new fridge and outdoor camera lights and spent $2,500 lol no groceries just 1 store
If you by just a regular chocolate cake mix and add only the eggs and oil not the water it turns out just like brownies. Add nut,chocolate chips,etc. You want to make it vegan add just apple sauce my sister said.🤗 Oh and don't be offended by my name. It's the names of the two toyger cats I adopted. Lucy and Lucifer. Tried to call them something else but didn't work on🤔🤣
It’s 16.30:here in uk and we are also dark outside now also x
otherday hubby ran into sams n I waited in truck as back issuse n my heated seat helps.lpl anyways he bought bannana n I said at.home oh man those are way to yellow I buy more grn but let's try this trick . so I wrap plastic wrap on stem n they are still same but I bet they will end up bannana bread. lol
Lol, I am literally eating a pilot bread cracker with mayo and a slice of cheese on it.
What a fun shopping day! Love that jacket!! We had no eggs Saturday in Henderson Nevada. Guessing 500 spent today?
We call it saloon pilot cracker and eat it with butter and jelly.
Just found your channel really enjoying! Really like how you tell prices of items Thanks can compare to prices here Greetings from IOWA 😃
The pilot crackers are really good with any chowder.
You should of bought the peppermint bark. Here we are at holidays again and you need to get in the mood and start buying holiday desserts
