I like to dry the celery leaves and some stalks and then grind into a power to use as a flavouring and to make a celery salt. You should give it a try.
I do the same thing. Wonder blast of flavor.
I have done this too. No more buying celery seed for seasoning -- I use this instead.
I think she said it's pulls to much power to do that.
That's what I do Alex. it makes the best celery salt. When I get the fresh leaves I also make a lovely pot of soup as well as several stews and casseroles (which to us Aussies is basically stew but done in the oven, stew is done on the stove top). The flavour of the leaves is intense. Michelle
@@delphine88313 you can hang the leaves like any herb and let them dry over time.
You guys have no idea how much joy you bring to me on a daily basis!… I totally locked onto your CZcams program several months ago and have devoured them! Every single day I spend some time with you guys and everything you do absolutely fascinates me!… I love the chemistry you have together I love you each individually and even your dogs and more importantly I am absolutely astounded at the results of your Teamwork and boundless energy! Thank you for such a wonderful vicarious life!
Michael Berg thank you ☺
I feel the same way. Their life is so interesting.
I wish someone will pay for them to go around to Colleges and speak of their Lifestyle !! amazing couple. Organic, Environmentally conscious, Debt free, living off of the land.
@@debbiee7850 Amen for sure!
👍👍👍
I enjoy watching you two with your canning and food prep. You don't waste a lot of time yapping like some people do - you get right to it.
I agree with this 110%!!
@@wolffortenberry8729 If you want to hear some yapping, go on THE 'CHEF AJ' channel; she does a lot of yapping but has some really good recipes & ideas.
That said, this video is still too long. I don't care to see all the gory details, just the pertinent facts. Seriously... who has the time?
@@cxoot in a world where I am constantly being rushed, I personally enjoy taking a minute to sit back and relax and enjoy their videos. I think it’s a perfect length video. The quiet and peaceful sounds of the outdoors without all the sound pollution is lovely to hear, even if it’s from my phone or TV.
I have become 20% more healthier watching this video. I love picking out vegetables from my tiny garden.
Oh dear, I laughed way too hard at 'nachos' 😂😂
Just wanna say, Everywoman needs an Eric!
Absolutely love how we’re getting more and more of your authentic, relaxed conversations and interactions as time goes on! Makes your videos that much more personal to watch!
Be careful your jars have leaks in them!!
har hardy har har
Leeks, or Leaks? 😊😊😁😁
@@peacefulwife5199 both!😂
My mom always used the celery leaves in her home made spaghetti sauce, never wasting anything. I do the same, loving the flavor of the celery in the sauce. Beautiful stock! It’ll make wonderful recipes!
Its nice to see someone else who likes celery in their sauce. It just brings a bit of yum to the sauce .
The leaves are the best part of the celery plant, they infuse such a delicate flavour, my Nonna would make the most amazing tomato salad using the celery leaves and the heart of the plant, so yummy
I know there are a ton of nutrients in those celery leaves. I would use them for a layer in that permaculture and to feed the chickens since the storage space in limited and winter is already hitting Alaska.
Was going to say the same thing, also good in soups etc
I like celery too but the leaves can make it bitter
I love y'all's channel. I prefer how you introduce your goal, tell what you will do, how to go about it, get 'er done and show finished "product". Many channels aimlessly wander or spring from one thing to another and show no real accomplishment. That's their prerogative, but I often find them tedious and skip through or not finish. Congratulation of a quality channel that is a good teaching tool for others who wish to live sustainably and try to lightly touch the earth. Keep on keeping on. Joy Giles
Whenever I watch your videos I always think the dogs are filming you 😂 since youve got different angles of what you guys are working on. Ik it can be time consuming. Appreciate filming it all for us!! Thanks❤️
I must be kind of fun and also very satisfying, being warm and cozy in your cabin on a cold winter day, surrounded by all that good food you have put away. A warm cup of soup on a cold dark day, has to be satisfying. Thanks for sharing the experience.
You two are like the olympians of off grid, pioneers! I watch a lot of gardening shows, but yours is truly hard work and perseverance for the end result. Totally amazed and look forward always to the next bonanza!! Job well done!
I have never seen a more beautiful batch of celery ever!! Your entire garden this year was absolutely beautiful. Every carrot, leaks parsnips, everything just says "life." Love all of your canning and meal preps. I enjoy all of your videos. God bless.
Can you please do a pressure canning 101 video? Like how you started with canning, tips and tricks, issues you encountered over the years. Would def help this canning newbie whos also a nervous wreck 😅
I second this! I’m very new at canning ironically since following SLA, I’d love to know more.
Guildbrook Farm actually has a very good Canning 101 video from a couple of years ago. It really helped me take the plunge.
Check out Rebel canners on FB. Lots of teachers over there!!!
Watching you guys is my latest fad. I have never lived like you but I've always wanted to.
You 2 are definitely set for winter! That must feel so good :-)
Eric's shirt when he's cooking! 😂😂😂
So clever!
I just can’t help but wonder, who gives these videos a thumbs down?! I love what you both share with us and wish for more! It’s so informative and unique!
People that are upset that they didnt use the whole celery leaf!
Those celery leaves are free fertilizer so no waste there people
I think its envy. I know I'm envious but not jealous, well maybe just a little. I'm so grateful they share with us and I can forget all the negativity for a short period. I stretch it my rewatching it a couple of times.
@@dinahquillen9380 Same!!! If they post early in the day I wait until the evening to watch to help me calm down from the days craziness!
@@CommonGroundGardens YES!! Fertilizer and/or chicken treats :) I've never seen them waste a single thing...they never cease to amaze me
I love the crunchy chop sound.
Right? ASMR without even trying :)
@@amyhendricks3627 I personally don't even like asmr but this sound I could listen to for hours...
@@M1NDCR4WL3R there is definitely something very satisfying to it!
I check everyday for new videos. Thank you for your channel and letting us all into your lives. It so nice to see a young couple work together, work hard and not a cross word between you. At least not that we see. Again, thank you.
Have you subscribed? It's totally free, just a way for CZcams to let us keep up with our favorite channels. Also, when you click on the bell, make sure you set it to "All". Then, you'll get a red bell at the top of the page (notification) to let you know there's a video to watch.
Keep cooking at the end of these!! I love it!!😊
My husband and I live in southwest CO just 20 miles from AZ. in the San Juan Mountain Range at 7,650 feet.... we love watching your channel... we just discovered it a 4 months ago and we enjoyed so much of what you are sharing we went back to the very beginning of your videos. We are preparing to move back to the midwest, Nebraska and are looking forward to having a garden again .... as we live in the High desert here and without a grow dome not much does well here. You are so impressive with all you cooking, gardening, building etc. Thank you for sharing your life with us all!
Will you be doing another “only eat what you grow” challenge this year? I’d like to see it!!
What a blessed life. It’s a lot of work growing, preserving, cooking but I realize it’s better than working in a cubicle and eating fast food.
The feeling of planting something and then harvesting it is exhilarating.
Over the past 3 weeks, we have binged your videos from the day you left Oregon until today. Your energy is rejuvenating. Our plans for 2021 have doubled. (zone 3b Wisconsin)
Having to live vicariously through you since we weren't able to get our garden going this year. Nice job guys.
yes dry the leaves.. makes such a good additive to anything.
I agree. Dried celery leaves make a great spice, especially for meats and soups.
I love your blue pilgrim design Pyrex bowls! It's my favorite design. I'm a homesteader at heart and live vicariously through y'all! ☮️ Peace and love 💜 from Kimberly in South Dakota 💙❤️
Pyrex calls it "Butterprint" and it's my favorite, too!
Hahahahaha Eric’s finger can never stop pointing ☝️ It’s so 😂 hilarious 😂 💕
What a great team y'all are! Young, beautiful, and so smart! It's most fun for me to see the incredible meals y'all dish up! Oh yeah, you're both gourmet chefs! Take care, and be safe!
Di you keep the celery leaves, I buy celery with lots of leaves and use that in my soup as well. You would have a mother load of celery leaves once dried.
You beat me to the punch...this is my first year gardening. The celery was a success I will dehydrate the leaves.
You guys are livin’ the dream!♥️👍🙏🇺🇸🤓
The leaves have the best flavor! Yummm.
I am not a fan of parsley, but I like to use celelry leaves as a replacement.
I threw my celery leaves in a cotton pillowcase and hung it in my basement to dry. Smells so good. I am putting them into jars now. I saw this somewhere to dry flowers and leaves so wanted to try it. It worked!
Dried Celery leaves are a great seasoning in soups and stews. We even use them as a salad green.
They wasted all ....🙄
SEDDY KHAN we do not consider it wasteful, our garden soil is living and it needs to be amended, hence why we leave roots and give back the parts of the plants we do not consume. Sometimes it is preference, many times we feed our chickens with our produce and sometimes it is just because of the sheer volume of produce we generate. It was the soil, nature, and organisms that are responsible for the produce and why we feel the least we could do is return some of the nutrients.
@@SimpleLivingAlaska I was wondering why toss leaves, but makes sense.
I feel so much cooler just watching your videos as you head into winter, 30dC here in southern Tasmania, and humid YUK! As always I admire you from afar, and how you really provide for yourselves. The hard work you both do for your life is shown and demonstrates to those who inspire to do as you have How much effort time and enthusiasm (constantly) to get up and do what has to be done. Thank You both.
Teamwork makes the dream work!
Leftand210 Perfect!
The two of you work so hard for the food you eat.
BS"D
You are such a special couple in many ways and wanted to thank you so much for sharing with us your beautiful life together
You guys have a great system worked out. My wife lived in Alaska for a long time, and I can’t wait to check it out!!!
When you were draining the celery for stock over wire it reminded me of Immokalee Salad. During the Harvest Festival in Immokalee, Florida, plywood and 2x4’s are nailed together and placed over sawhorses. Ice is placed over the plywood and then harvested veggies are cut into chunks over the ice. Some of the best tasting tomatoes and cucumbers are grown in that area of Florida. Fave this video is the Potato leek soup and if course a stroll down memory lane.
Love watching you guys....lived in Alaska for 6 years....had the wrong partner...you guys really work well together...love the trips and the every day stuff... My favorite are the fishing trips....Your garden is wonderful...Good for you guys.....i live in CA now and I put thick rubber bands around my canning jars to help stop breakage during earthquakes, They act as bumpers. During the shaking. I've had no breakage....you might want to try that there....God bless you both!
That potato leek soup is something i want to try!!!!!
Gosh, another great video! You guys work so hard. Whenever I see celery I am reminded of my mother who always put celery leaves in the oven - the oven had a pilot light and the heat from it worked as a dehydrator. You always had to check the oven for random celery leaves before you did any baking!
Your videos are a joy to the senses - the crunch of the celery, the vibrant colors of the vegetables; I could almost smell the dirt in the garden and feel the icy coldness of the well water.
Thanks for sharing your journey.
Arielle is such a natural beauty! You are a lucky man Eric. Arielle is blessed to!
I love watching you process food outside. Makes so much more sense.
You guys are the best! 💛 Celery leaves are great in stocks and soups, I love when I see others use them 💛
My goodness. What an abundance of celery. Love to eat all of the celery from top/bottom. How rich in vegetables you two are.
You got me hooked on making celery stock this season when I saw your video from last year, thank you! Always had more than I could use "fresh" and gave away alot. Now, it's a different story and will plant even more next spring. I threw in some of my extra leek as well and froze the stock. It's awesome.
You guys are amazing. I love watching you come up with everyday recipes with fresh ingredients!
It would be cool to see a day in the life headed to town. Do you guys eat out while there? Take us along where you buy most of your food supplies like olive oil, flour, salt etc. Keep being awesome!🙂
These are some of my most favorite videos you do!! The practicality of things is what I love. All your videos explaining practical skills and recipes are very straight forward without the unnecessary babble that so many other creators include. Thank you for such quality content and taking the time to share your knowledge and make these videos!! 💜
Your channel always brings out the wanderlust in my heart, and brings some peace to this current crazy, chaotic world.
Peace from Michigan ☮️
"Are you eating them with the dirt and all?" This sounds like some of the conversations i have with my wife at our garden plot
They washed those vegetables until they were squeaky clean. I'm surprised you didn't watch that.
@@dinahquillen9380 Hey buddy it's a quote from 0:55 seconds in and a lighthearted comment - I'm surprised YOU didn't watch that. Stop trying to white knight people don't even know. You sound pathetic.
An over full freezer, crammed pantry shelves... life is good this winter. Nice work you two.
I've never tried canning soups and stock. I think it's a great idea when you have a surplus of veggies that won't store for long.
Hi from Australia. Beautiful harvest..well done! To remove the dirt from leeks...cut down the middle from green to white, leaving the end intact.
Rinse under running water with the stalk up, so the dirt runs out or wash in water using fingers to remove dirt.
Thanks for all you do Eric and Arielle.
Your garden has done amazing this year, and with the moose, you guys are blitzing it
Remember it was Ariell's moose, couldn't resist.😏
Your garden was the most beautiful garden, so choked full of so much! I’m envious of your gardening abilities! Very impressed with all your work!
Dang look at all those leaves and celery!! Yes I'd use it all!! The leaves are awesome in beef stews and soups!!
Also I can't wait to have my own little backyard farm, I think soup, sauces and broths will be the main way I preserve my food. Especially since soup is great for wintertime.
I’m in love with y’alls pups and your property is absolutely gorgeous, sending love from a Texan who is dreaming of snow❄️🤣❤️
I love your harvest to table/canning videos!
Looks delicious. You guys are so lucky. Living my dream .
Being a senior citizen, I’m on a limited income. So I dry by bunches hanging or in the oven with only the light left on. It may take a little longer to fully dry but the taste is the same. 😁
Love the explanation of how you’ll be using the soup and all the extras of what else you can do w said soup! Love me some garden and cooking videos! Keep ‘em coming!! (And loved the ASMR of the crackling fire place in the back ground!!)
Love your garden to canning videos. Love how you eventually use them in meals.
What a satisfying accomplishment!
Mmmm mmm! A good day's work. Don't you just love getting the last of the goodies out of the garden just in time?! Super inspiring to see how much food you put up for yourselves this time and how committed you are to growing and eating your own food 99% of the time. It's obvious you've chosen the right lifestyle for you as you make it look so easy because of the joy of it! Every time I see something you've cooked up from scratch I end up cooking a lot more from scratch too...and my husband LOVES it! (As do I. : - D ) Thanks for the inspiration.
I loved watching this video, thank you.
Watching these videos are incredibly soothing and help my anxiety so thank you.
Loved the sound of your fire crackling in the background as you prepare dinner. What a peaceful way to end a day!
wow, i m in love! So beautiful Celerys.
Omgoodness this food looks amazing!!!
The jars look delicious yummy. I think I’ll do that next year
love rewatching your videos 💞
Thanks for sharing...I always learn something from you guys !!
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. So inspiring. This is just what my brain needed to unwind! Much love, thanks for doing all that you do!
You guys are hard workers no doubt. Brings memories of canning time. *BRAVO*
You two are always so creative with simple real ingredients. Love it so much! Thank you for sharing.
I LOVE your canning ideas and really looks good!
One of my favorite kind of video, canning!
Just a tip/trick for cleaning Leeks. Leave the root crown on and stick your knife through just above the crown and cut it lengthwise in half. Turn it a quarter turn and repeat. You should have a leek cut into four quarters that you can soak and clean all the dirt out that hides in the leaves. When you are done cleaning it just cut it into desired length and toss the root crown.
Wow what a great harvest.
Wow everything looks so good! One jar per meal, you guys are so amazing together. I love all your videos
You two are amazing! I love your videos. Simple life, hard work, enjoying nature. I need to do more meal in a jar type canning like this.
Love your channel. Keep up the great work, love birds. ❤
cant believe you throw all those lovely leaves away ,Best bit
You young people are totally awesome!
Life is good when your garden is harvested and shelves are full.
Y'all make it look so easy. Dinner looked delish!
Another great video. 😊
You guys are so efficient, and you have so much energy to make a nice dinner after that much canning effort! You're a good team and a pleasure to watch.
I feel calmer when I watch your videos. It definitely has asmr qualities 😊
You two are great to watch regarding inspiration for canning !
That's it, I'm inviting myself over for dinner! 😁😁😁
I so enjoy watching you two, and the animals too.
That looks yummy start to finish love you two🥰🥰🥰
I am always so happy when I get the notification that there's a new video! I love potato and leek soup...keep up the good work
Those colors of the veggies were beautiful
Love your canning videos. Well done on the farm this year!!!
I am always amazed by your most awesome garden!
Super idea! I’m going to do both of these. Thanks for sharing!!
You two are such great builders, hunters, gardeners, farmers, and fishermen. It is a pleasure to learn from you☺️.
