I freeze my bulk rice for about a week, before putting it into storage containers. Those bugs likely came in the rice, and freezing it, kills the larva so you don't one day see crawlies, walking through your rice. I also freeze bulk flours, for the same reason.

So helpful!!!

That last meal won me over. It looks so good. Thanks.

Potatoes! Drain and rinse them, add them to a pan with butter or better yet bacon grease. Just brown them up, their already cooked. I made them into mashed last week because that what my husband wanted.

Spray the moulds with oil, and you will find that they are removed easily.

How do you make your simple syrup

My top 5 things that are must-have for me: broths (chicken, turkey, beef, bone), beans (pinto, black, lentils), chicken, tomatoes, pears or peaches. I just can’t get used to canned potatoes.

Great video.

Some jams and jelly can take up to a month to set

How are you making your broth

Is glass canning good health option?

❤❤❤

I’m excited to know how to can mushrooms. I was thinking the other I needed to find someone doing that so please record it even if it’s not today. Loving your channel.

Potatoes have been the real surprise hit here at my house. Carrots are another for a fast way to add veg to soups and stews and even casseroles.

What store did you mention in Nashville that you can get all the things?

Maybe mix some of the powder with the melted butter, pour it over your bowl of popcorn, and let the dill party begin!!! I'd prefer bread and butter or even salt n vinegar!! I eat salt n vinegar chip until my tongue gets sore!!

Until last Summer, I had never worn gloves while processing jalapeño peppers. Well I guess I got some bad boys and quickly I felt some burning on a couple of my fingertips. I immediately stopped and washed my hands very well with Dawn dish soap and kept going. It wasn't a huge amount of peppers but they were clearly hot. Within seconds, both of my hands were on fire! When I washed my hands, it spread the pepper oil all over my hands. I was hurting so bad I thought I was going to have to go to the doctor! Hours were going by with it getting worse and worse. I got online and read every suggestion. Nothing was helping. Finally I read to spread my hands with a thin layer of regular yellow mustard, allow it to dry for 10 minutes, rinse and repeat. After I rinsed the second time, the pain was 100% GONE! After about 8 hours of suffering so badly, I was thankful!

In the video you say to pressure can for 20 minutes but the recipe says 50 minutes. Did I misunderstand?

Guajillo- pronounced gwha-he-yo. I know, it's weird 😂

Will these vacuum bags work with a Food Saver hand held vacuum sealer? I’m just starting to vacuum seal spices to preserve.

Guajillo is pronounce "sort of like" gwaa-hee-ow.

I ordered that handheld I have been wanting one but didn't trust a blind order. Watching your demo made me buy it. Thank you!

I love enchilada sauce. Both red and green. Your peppers look like dried ancho chilis.

If you like those dried peppers, I would try to germinate the seeds for your own garden.

That shelf is a dream come true

Thanks for another informative post..take care

Hi Krista! Enchilada sauce sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing! It has been a bad tomato year for many of us. I was really counting on a good preserving year for tomatoes. I am getting similar harvests to yours. Others around me are having the same. I live in southern Illinois near St. Louis. We also had a LOT of rain in July and now dry. I think that may be part of it. Gardening is different every year and we just have to roll with it. 😁 Just like you using your tomato sauce! Take care and thanks again! Vicki

Can't wait to see your enchilada skillet dinner. I would love to try that. Thank you for sharing, Krista. 😊

I break up my chilies in boiled water and let it steep for about 30 min then I put the chilies through my kitchen aid mill and add the water to my enchilada sauce 🤤 Love your videos ❤

Great video! New subscriber. I just made cookies using that butter. They tasted so much better!

Awesome video! New sub now, thanks so much!

You can't plant the hot ones by the sweet ones, they mix, plant at least 6ft away 😅

Pasta say it right girl

What are the shelf life of your canned items?

Even though the family is not at home all the time. Collect some of the long-term basics. Beans, rice, and wheat. They keep a long time, and they are relatively inexpensive compared to most other food. If needed they can be used with you regular food.

So much good hard work. Do put a stop on all edges of the shelf and attach the shelf to the wall. So many things are happing arround us the are not normal, protect your good work. The music isn't bad either.

It would be more efficient to slice the peppers down the center and pull the seeds out before roasting them, so you don’t lose flavour of the roasting when running them under water. Then you don’t need to be as gentle with them.

Impressive!

If you are dehydrated and out in the heat drink some pickle juice. My husband is a firefighter and they keep pickle juice on hand on calls.

I wonder if they packaged the wrong seeds cause Poblano peppers are not hot.😮

Pronunciation of relleno is ( ray-yen-no)

I would add some dried dill to your pickle powder.

I think I'm doing some canned beets in my dehydrator. Thanks for the idea

Another great idea from you today ! I am GOING to dry pickles as I LOVE LOVE LOVE pickle seasoning !! It is a new found love and now I can make it myself instead of paying the high price of the seasoning with ....questionable ingredients. You nailed it again, Krista !

Drink a shot of pickle juice for upset stomach.

Oh my. I'm gonna do it in my freeze dryer and make pickle powder. It's gonna be amazing!!!!

Drinking pickle juice absolutely does help leg cramps. My daddy had bad ones. He would drink the pickle juice and they would go away immediately!!! I don't have to worry about leg cramps though. Lol. I drink it whether I have cramps or not. Great video

Your brown truck is just wonderful! Reminds me of Tow Mater in the race movie - forgot the name. He was adorable as is the truck - it just looks happy.

Dill pickle juice absolutely works for cramps. I save my juice to help me.

Drinking a little pickle juice really helps with cramps my legs cramp at night and it takes it away
