  • I have a lot of things to get done today, and I'm taking you guys along with me to keep me company ♥ I still have a 5-gallon bucket of carrots our in the garage refrigerator that I picked last fall that need to be processed. I have a box of frozen tomatoes from last season, along with a bunch of zucchini that we need to process as well. And there's a big batch of leaf lard from our batch of pigs we need to render down as well. Oh and while we're at it, let's make some zucchini bread as well. How does chocolate chocolate chip sound to you? ♥ you guys - Rachel

    I love that your so honest we always have a load of neglected veggies that we sort in winter! Madness in summer! I get to the point that if I see another tomato I’ll scream! Lol now I am craving them so bad!!

      I agree. Reality is so much more refreshing in this type of video post. We can't do everything at the right time, so I'm delighted to see this honest post. 🙂

    Rachael, remember the carrot rehydrated will NEED to be cooked before you feed it to the baby. Raw carrot will give them super gassy tummy. Just a helpful reminder 😊

  • @dumbbunnie123
    @dumbbunnie123 Před 2 lety +8

    I cook with carrot powder all the time...it's a staple in my kitchen .I make a brown rice and carrot casserole that's cheesey and beautifully colored.My hubby won't eat cooked carrots but he will eat them after they are powdered. Great in eggs ,soup, you will come up with so many uses you will wonder how you did without them.

    @Dicyroller Před 2 lety

    I understand you may not see this, but my Mother dehydrated much of the vegetables that we grew. She would grind many of them. (making them into power) She Had an amazing way to use the vegi powder. She would mix the different veggie powders and add a bit of salt or a bit of pepper and dust it on everything. She would also put it in every meatloaf, ball, soup, stew, and salad we ate. She dusted it on peas before she dried them, that was a yummy snack. My Mom was good at not waisting things. I love her for it.

    @rondahicks24 Před 2 lety +1

    oh my goodness. I saw you put water in the bottom of your roaster and I thought to myself surely someone else has asked why. I started reading all of the comments and found several ladies asking the same question. I kinda of chucked to myself - you might have to do a video on why you put water in your roaster. Thanks for the great tip. I ruined a whole batch of spagetti sauce last year because of burning it.

    Instead of grinding lard, you can chop it up roughly and once it's soft just take an immersion stick blender and buzz it into smaller pieces for faster rendering

So glad I found you here on CZcams! Thank you!
