Happy to have you here, Milisa!
You are giving me great ideas! First, the salad bar is genius! Second, you are canning bacon, which I must add to my “ToDo” list. Third, even though I have not yet viewed your canning chicken video yet, I noticed that you cut up the chicken thighs before canning. I can my chicken thighs whole, but I really like the idea of cutting them up first. I could go on and on …. Love your videos. I expect prices to continue to rise and expecting some good ice storms this coming winter and living atop a mountain, I won’t be going to the grocery store … preserving has become a must for many of us.
Thanks so much, Jane! I have a feeling you're going to be all set by Winter! Before we decided to move to Tennessee, we considered mountain top life in NC. David's biggest concern was how we would get to the store in the Winter. Hello?? How long have you been married to me?! I don't think it dawned on him until then just how well prepared we were!
Thanks for the great video of meals!
So glad you liked it, Junie Laine! Happy to have you here.
❤ thanks for sharing. Love this.
My pleasure, Bettina! Thanks for being here!
I'm enjoying your channel. 😊
Thanks, FDH. Welcome! Glad you're here!
First time watching your post. Very nice. Will try some of your recipes and maybe can up some of the foods you have done thanks.
Fantastic, Katherine! I'm so happy to have you here!
Just last week ,I bought a corned beef, I riasted it with brown sugar brown mustard on top, wroped in foil on 300 fir 4 hours. It cost 17.00. Ant it wasnt very big
Oooh, it sounds amazing! Pricey though! Every time I go to the store, I'm shocked by the prices. Glad to have you here, Susan!
Carter, thanks so much for the great video! I just found your channel while following the #pantrychallenge trail. I love your level of detail. I also follow a low-carb/keto lifestyle and very much enjoy the inspiration that you provided in this video. I've gone back and binged watched many of your videos. Keep them coming and thanks again!
Yay, Kim! I'm so happy to have you here! 😘
Hello, I’m Darlene from Arcadia, LA. I have been trying to do your challenge this month. I didn’t get the pictures but I did a bit of the pantry challenge. I started off with canning 7 quarts of dried pinto beans. I have dehydrated some of my parsley, I got 6 quarts and 1 pint of bone broth that took two days. I put up 5 pints of jalapeños hot pepper sauce. My daughter n law and I did 13 dozen of hot tamales. I’m not sure if that counts in the challenge but it is adding to the freezer. That’s my frost week of the challenge.
Darlene! You are doing amazing! And yes, those tamales absolutely count! If you think to take pictures next week and want to show them on the channel, send the highest quality pics you have to me carter@growandpreserve.com.
Love Izzy! So sweet!
She has her moments! Thanks so much for being here, Erika!
I really liked this video. Everything looks so good. You really inspire me! Thank you!!
I am definitely going to try those crackers. I’m going to make kombucha-again. Pretty upset at how many kombucha bottles I have thrown away.
Thank you so much, Jasmine! I totally hear the kombucha bottle regret! I caught my husband about to throw away a bottle at the gas station the other day. You would have thought a freight train was about to hit him as I yelled, "NOOOOOOOO!"
OH wow Carter! Your greens are amazing! So regretting not starting mine when your video came out. Back home this week and hoping to start the sprouts. Hope your mom and hubby are recovering well. Thanks for the video and doing the pantry challenge and including us along the way!
I missed you! I know you have stuff going on as well. I hope that you are at peace with today. I'm happy to see you back. Enjoy those sprouts! 😘
Carter everything looked so good. Love the 5 seed crackers. I'm giving that a try. Yesterday made a big pot of navy beans with ham bone from freezer. Just served with cornbread. Extra for friend who broke her femur. Made chili for lunch using canned chili fixing then added cooked bison minced meat. That was good. But today was 83 degrees in North Texas. Had fried shrimp served over lettuce salad with carrots, celery, dried cranberries and pecans. With a big pitcher of iced tea. 80 plus for tomorrow. I need some meal plans. Nothing wrong with your plating skills. It was in the bowl. That is what counts. Never heard of soaking pecans then roasting? What is the benefit? Does that remove the oils to make it last longer? Have a great week.
It all sounds delicious, Donna! You know that dried cranberries and pecans will get my attention. ;-) 83 degrees! Holy smokes. Sandwiches and salads sound like a plan to me. Soaking the pecans helps remove many of the lectins. Soaking and then roasting takes the taste to a new level. Try it if you're up for it, and let me know what you think. Always happy to see you here, Donna!
And ouch to the broken femur! That sounds so painful. Hoping she has a speedy and easy recovery.
@@growandpreserve thank you. I buy the big bags of pecans from Costco for my freezer will give it a try.
@@donnamullins2089 Awesome! Let me know what you think!
Oh BTW! I buy the boxed organic craisins from Target. Same size as small regular raisin boxes. I usually just split the box between my husband and myself for a salad. Just enough for a little sweet taste.
Nice! I'll have to look for them next time. I can be a little heavy-handed with them when they come in bulk. Maybe this will save me from myself! ☺
Thanks for so much info. I hope to make the crackers soon. And want to try dry canning potatoes this next season as we hope to grow a much larger crop of potatoes !
Great! The crackers are so easy and so good. I'm just starting to work om ,y garden plan for next year, but I think more potatoes may be on my list as well. Do you have any favorite varieties to grow?
Izzy is adorable!
She absolutely knows that too! Thanks so much for being here!
I would also love to see some of the keto meals/items you cook for your husband.
Great! I'll try to do better showing some keto meals in Week 3. I've just wrapped up week 2, and he was "celebrating" being over Covid. He says he's back to Keto next week!😉
I have never cooked with curry paste! It’s looks so easy! My husband loves curry, so I’m definitely going to try that recipe with some of my canned chicken as well! Do you use/make your own mayonnaise? That is next on our list of condiments to start making at home! Not sure I can pry the Blue Plate jar out of my husband’s hands!! 😂. Thank you for sharing all your creations! ❤
Curry is very easy! Thai Kitchen makes a very good one that is much easier to find than the one I use. Just toast it up a bit in the oil and start throwing things in! I have made mayo, but not recently. I hope you'll come back to share if you can convert your husband! Always happy to see you here, Marty!
I did not know you could soak and then roast pecans. Learn so many things every single day.
Yes! And they are so good. I hope you give them a try. So happy to have you here, Blue Dahlia!
Carter how is your Mother's recovery progressing? Good I pray. Just thinking about her.
Thanks so much for asking, Donna. It's been slow, but she does seem to be gradually gaining a bit of strength. I think she has a long road ahead of her. Appreciate those prayers!
@@growandpreserve that is great to hear.
Hi Carter! Chridtibe sent ne your wsy. I've subscribed and am binge-watching your videos!!!
So many recipes. Haven't decided where I will start.😊
Would you share which app you use to print your jar labels!
Thanks fir shsring your knowledge!
Welcome, Connie! So glad to have you here! I bought these labels and used the app that was designed for them. amzn.to/43LXNMy The labels are great, but the app was a pain! Wish I had a better answer for you!
I love your picture perfect life..
Not so perfect, but I love it anyway! Always happy to have you here, Brenda!
My chihuahua Bubba won’t look at cameras either lol Great ideas for the pantry challenge 😊 How do you make your labels ?
It must be dog code or something...Never do as told when others may witness it! I bought some printable labels on Amazon. I would link them for you, but I'm not thrilled with them. If I had it to do over, I would get stickier labels (these are "removable", even when I don't want them to be) with a water-resistant coating. Even though I don't need to put the labels under water, often my hands are wet, and it can leave a mark. Love having you here, Heather!
Diffidently will try doing pecans, that is new! How long will they keep on the shelf?
The pecans aren't preserved, but they are super tasty. I like to soak raw pecans for about 7 hours in filtered water and lots of salt. After 7 hours, drain and give a quick rinse. Spread in a single layer on a sheet pan and put in the oven at 175F for about 12 hours. They are crispy and a little bit salty, and I swear they taste like they've had butter added, but they haven't.
has David made a vid of his lasagna? think that would make an awesome vid
Oh dear. I'm afraid to even mention it to him! He'll be all over it. We'll see!
Hello !! Found you about 6 months ago and you are GREAT !! Went with your suggestions for the grow lights and the electric pressure canner. I know I'm late to the party for lettuce in January, but will start this week. Have canned lots of meats and the potatoes even though we are keto, I do like a small portion occasionally.
Tomorrow will try the seed crackers and definitely the bread. I noticed the original bread recipe does not call for yeast, baking soda. nor cream of tartar, It does have baking powder. Please help !
Keep up your good works !!
Good grief! Did I post the wrong bread recipe?! I am so very sorry. Let me try to find it. I’m traveling for the next couple days. If I can’t find it online, I will get it to you when I get home. Would you mind sending me an email to carter@growandpreserve.com so I’m sure to remember to get it to you? I am so glad you have dived into canning and growing food! I can’t tell you how happy I am to have you here, Leslie!
@@growandpreserve no worries !! Do you recall if it came out ok ? You did it in the bread maker week one of the Pantry Challenge and mentioned it in week 2. Yes, I will email you. Save travels and good thoughts coming your way for your Mother.
@@leslielovely6473 It looks like she has changed the recipe online. Not sure why, but I do have the original in pdf form. Email me if you would like it. It turns out better when I shape it as a round loaf in the oven, but it's much easier in the bread maker. I use the quick bread setting.
could you share how much salt you put on the pecans and what temp do you roast them on? Thanks for sharing.
Of course. I generally put about 1.5T in each half gallon jar. Anything between 1-2T is fine. I put them in the oven at 170F for about 12 hours. It’s not easy to mess them up, so there’s plenty of flexibility. Happy to have you here, Neppie!
What was the binding ingredients for the seeds cracker? That part was not shown in the video
The flax and chia seeds are the binders. Total magic. hope you give them a shot, Sylvia. Good to have you here!
Another question, do you add onions to any of the meat before canning?
I don't, primarily because I often share the "juices" with the dog. They would certainly be great though. If you slice them small/thin, they will essentially disintegrate into the liquid, so if you want to still have visible onion, use larger slices, cut top to tail. Hope that helps!
❤Ozzie orIzzy sorry but so cute
She knows it too!
