Is that a scar from thyroid disease on your neck?
I had a benign nodule removed many years ago
Looking great!
Thanks for tuning in!
Congratulations!! Hope all goes well for you guys!! Looks like some wonderful space to fill!!😊 God bless you now!!
CONGRATULATIONS LEAH!!! Stay strong and positive. New levels and all it comes with. Loads of love to you and your wonderful family ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the encouragement! :)
Yummy food.
Blessings dear
Did you check the Azure website to see if the items in the catalog are there..... now that it's September?
I did - I did not find them 🤔
Great Job!!!! LOADS OF LOVE TO YOU ❤❤❤❤❤
You are a rare gem. Loads of love to you and your wonderful family 👠👠👠👠👠
I always love your hauls. Ty for sharing.
Thanks for being here! :)
Thanks for sharing your time and your ideas and your life with us!! Looks good and healthy! Looking forward to seeing the new place! How are you doing?
Thanks for watching! Everyone’s doing well here :)
If you can’t find an item feel free to call them 😊 great customer service
what's in the catalogue is for the upcoming month, its a preview
Perfect bread! Nice job! A mouth watering experience!
Looks ok... maybe less dense dough?
Yes that dough was SO dense. Need a different recipe for sure!
Looking forward to seeing the new place! Thanks for sharing your life with us! Enjoy it!
I’m looking forward to seeing your new homestead and all of what you’re able to do with it.
Those food storage containers with the gray lids look like a good low profile option- if you don’t mind, can you give the brand and where you got them?
I got them at Target - the product listing is "GoodCook EveryWare Rectangle 1 Gallon Food Storage Container." Ziplock has a decent one too, but the lids on these seem more durable.
Yes! I have noticed that about the Azure catalog. I've been very disappointed about that.
I wonder what the disconnect is. Seems odd to waste time advertising something that's not really for sale.
They have great customer service give them a call
I don't want to be mean or pick at what others do, but I'd be more careful about the cross contamination from handling the raw chicken and then other products without washing your hands in between. I always worry about making my family sick with things like that.
It’s vacuumed sealed and frozen rock solid so I wasn’t worried. :)
Be sure to contact azure standard regarding the items that didn't make the trip. They will refund you. Also, I think the catalog is for September. Check online for the items after Sept. 1st.
Oh good point - I'll have to look next month.
Great to see you again! Nice haul! Thanks for sharing your time with us! Looking good!
I noticed it last month since it advertised the lasagna would be on sale. I couldn’t find it on the website. It’s supposed to be on sale again this month but nowhere to be found
Oh so weird, and usually something still shows even if it's out of stock.
Great recipe! Thank you!
Avacado last a long time in the fridge.
That’s good to hear! I’ve never tried it
Great azure haul
Thank you 😁
@@leahrenata4820 You are welcome!😊
Never ever heard of a nut free church. Are there signs for guests in case they have a granola bar in their purse. Just saying. Really enjoy your videos, even if they are a bit nutty>😃
I suppose it’s not the whole church :) But the childcare ministries don’t serve nuts.
Thanks for sharing your life and updates!
Great to see you again! Hope all is well?!
Welcome back! Missed u.
I just bought a 5lb bag of macaroon style coconut. I use it to sweeten my smoothies.
I appreciate and value your thoughts on is food storage biblical. Thank you!!
Awesome video and thanks for sharing with us ❤I’m new to your channel and I’m excited to be here ❤
Thanks for joining! :)
Ooo.. very tasty looking!! How were they!? Thanks for sharing!
Everything was delicious! :)
You got lots done. It all looks so good. Ty for sharing.
I've liked the Desert Essence shampoo (I tried mango) but I've never tried the Dr Bronner's hair rinse. I'd love to know how you like it!
Just repackage in bags in family size
Kiwi fruit unless they are from New Zealand they grow the best kiwi fruit in the world your country don’t have the right climate
If you have a hard time ripening plums or other fruits with a stone put them next a ripe banana and they will ripening quickly 😊😘
Nice haul!! Maybe put the broccoli in gallon ziplock bags? Or 2 gallon?
I’ve thought about it but don’t love how much plastic we’d go through. I might buy some big rectangular plastic containers that can be refilled. 🤔
@@leahrenata4820 Ok..that sounds better.. hope it works out for you!
Great haul. You got lots of great stuff this time. Ty for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
we buy those huge boxes of broccoli and other veggies- we take the bag- drop on the floor (grands favorite thing to do with the azure haul lol) it breaks everything up- and we repackage into reuseable freezer bags ( quart and gallon size- a bit of an investment but never have to buy again) we split the large boxes between three family members- saves us a fortune by buying the biggest size we can get - then each of buying small sizes for each family-
Aw love the team work! I’ve had a hard time finding reusable bags that hold up - the seal always gets wonky. What brand do you use?
@@leahrenata4820 actually not sure my daughter bought them during covid off amazon - I have had to duct tape a few lol
I love the "shelf" thing that you have your cans in! I need one!
Nice recipe dear friend ❤❤
Thank you for watching! :)
Did you have a recipe out for your rolls already or can you put one out? They look perfect!😊
I used this one for the buns. It calls for bread flour, but I make my own. For every cup of all-purpose flour, I remove 1.5 teaspoons of flour and replace it with 1.5 teaspoons of vital wheat gluten. www.scratchpantry.com/recipes/hamburger-buns
@@leahrenata4820 Ahh... thanks!!
I Kinda enjoy the longer format. 😏
It is working best in this season :)
Thanks for sharing this with us! Simple and good! I enjoy your channel!❤
