This comment has nothing to do with meals in a jar. I simply came to the your page & found the most recent video. Because I want to thank you. I'm in Central Florida we are now under a hurricane warning as Ian has come ashore on the south east of the state.Orlando where I'm at will receive the worst of it in the morning. However while I am prepared,, the one item I could not find nor could my neighbors was bread. Months ago I watched your easy sandwich bread video and bought everything to try it as I have never made bread before. I never got around to making it but today I have made two batches so there's four loaves to share. The second batch is rising, the first batch came out of the oven and it smell delicious. The recipe is incredibly easy. Fingers crossed that I didn't mess the recipe up.. they do smell delicious 🤤 If it hadn't been for your video and how you are so reassuring that it's easy for a beginner I never would have tried this....BREAD...something so simple that many people take for granted but when you're at risk of losing power and knowing that you will be eating sandwiches and canned food for a while bread suddenly becomes a necessity....Again THANK YOU .. you saved my neighbors and I from eating everything on crackers..🍞🥪
You are SO sweet!! Thank you for the kind words!! I have some Keto recipes that I hope will be helpful to you: czcams.com/play/PLkRuW3pBo2U1vp8bJ8Qn2VDPoFI5vOebT.html Love, Mary
I'm keto too and watch Mary's videos for the same reason. Thank you for verbalizing that and prompting Mary to add a link with keto items. Greatly appreciated.
@UmbrellaGrapeSolutions Take Two Hi! Do u also Fast?The combo of both is great! I follow Dr Bergs healthy keto - lots of veggies, no snacking ( desert with meal) 4 oz of organic healthy protein per meal! Avocado is great, healthy fat!
I can’t wait to try some of these mixes! I would’ve never thought to dehydrate store-bought frozen vegetables but it makes so much sense. They take up less space and freezer space always seems to be limited. Also, if the power goes out, you aren’t running around trying to figure out what to do with all your frozen veggies.
Hi Mary , thank you so much for these videos. I’ve been reaching back to my memories of what my grama taught me as a child. She lived thru the depression and much more. Canning, having a food pantry and such. Making the most of what you have. I turn to you to learn and refresh what i remembered as a child. My memories of my grandma are my best treasure. Thank you again for the teaching and your time.
Hi Mary, your food always looks so delicious! I would warn people that those white plastic lids are not air tight, so they will not keep the food fresh for long term. (They are not leak proof either. Don't ask me how I know, LOL.) Anyway, every other channel making jar meals, that I have seen, uses oxygen absorbers or vacuum seals, with canning lids, for shelf life. Oxygen (not air) is what will age your ingredients. (Of course, you don't want moisture or sunlight either.) The non air tight lids also allow moisture in to your dehydrated foods, which ruins them, after awhile. I'm sure using them up quickly may be fine, but wanted to let others know, just in case. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes.
I just love these meals-in-a-jar recipes (esp. the ones that require adding water only); it really helps to learn other ways to use up your preps!! Thank you as always, Mary!!
I know it may seem a pipe dream, but I wish you sold these ready to go side dishes and meals in stores. I know the whole point is to do this ourselves, but for those who can't, having these on hand, already pre-packaged in our pantry, would be the next best thing. Hugs!
Hi Mary. Your recipes and methods are the absolute best! A few nights ago I made chicken bone broth with your insurance policy, and my family is still raving about it. The food prepared with it has been the best to ever come out of our kitchen. Thanks for your wonderful videos and wisdom!
My husband really likes the oatmeal bread in a jar. Thank you for the delicious recipe. I used half whole wheat and half regular flour. I found I needed to add a little more liquid to the bread because the WW absorbs more liquid. It’s great to have this mix on hand.❤
Mary, you are a blessing to this world! Your Martha Stewart comment reminded me of the days we didn't have so many food/cooking shows available to watch. Martha Stewart and those on PBS were some of the only few until cable networks made these types of shows so popular. The only 24 hr information we had was our cookbooks. I am grateful for people like you who have learned so much and passed that information to us. God bless! ❤️
Wonderful ideas and tips, as always, Mary. We definitely need to try doing this more. Hope you all are finally getting a break from the Texas heat and having a blessed weekend.
Hi Rob, Thank you SO much!! Can you believe - when I got up this AM it was already in the high 70s!! We'll be hitting the high 90s today. Looking forward to ...maybe... it cooling down by December!! LOL!! Love to the SG family, Mary
I love Mary's videos! It's like your mother figure welcoming you in to her home and she is just doing her stuff, pottering and prepping and you are asking questions. It just feels like a wholesome hug and i just wanted to give you a virtual one back. Thank you Mary. You are a rare find. I love traditional cooking from around the world. I absolutely love your 4 corners kitchen concept and it is really helping here with all of the produce from the garden that we are processing. We built the start of a prepper pantry in the workshop. 2 Shelves about 35" x 15.5" in imperial. I have almost filled the top shelf stacked with home-made canned foods. We have juice, pasta, rice and oil on the bottom shelf. It has hardwood backing and just needs some doors, so i am currently using a towel to keep out the light. Today, we just cleaned out our working pantry. I wrote down what we had and the dates on all this new lentils and stuff that we got from my mother in laws house after she passed. When we cleared out her pantry we just left pasta, plain flour, some tins and herbs that i knew that we would still need the next time that we visited for the big movement of stuff. I just have our baking cupboards to sort through and tidy so we have more space and to also make a mental note of what we already have. I just need to decide, which of her many le croisset iron casserole pots to take back to keep. Do people buy these second hand? Going to be really hard and sad trying to choose which serving dishes, plates, etc. They did down size from the big house to the bungalow but they still have more cupboards than we do in a bigger space. We do have a potential cubby area that we can build units/ shelves. It isn't just about it's practical use but also a lot of pieces are sentimental. I only have a few small pieces from when my mum died when i was 10, so i appreciate these heirlooms, even if it things like US cup measuring cups or a proper metal jam funnel. She had two boys and her eldest son isn't settled and not into cooking big family meals, so he is happy that we can keep what we can in the family. She also love traditional cooking and has every coloured chopping boards and lots of old cooking tools i needed to google. She never wanted help in the kitchen, in fact, it was a distraction so it was very hard to learn from her. She had a whole bookcase dedicated to cook books. I have taken what hubby allowed me to take as i needed to bare in mind that we also have some of his Grandpa's cookbooks. I like the old Mrs Beaton's cook books and some that i found from the 70's, where everything was made into jelly! Whether you like it or not, i love the history and the old/ new colour photos in the books. Anyway, i won't bother you any more. Whilst grateful for our super bumper crops of tomatoes this year, compared to the wet blight weather we had last year, i can't wait for the harvesting and processing of that to die down. Still have loads of veg in the garden, here in Zone 9, London, UK. Kid is sick of fresh tomatoes as they were in spring with spinach. Not sure they have understood the kilos of tomatoes that have been processed. lol It is your back that suffers from processing the most. It isn't just about the cost of food or increased energy prices that i am preparing for but i think we maybe getting a very cold winter. Anyway, you take care our sweet friend x
Thanks for sharing. I will do that once we are at our own place especially for Lee and Daniel to eat while I'm at work. They wouldn't let me eat my sinigang yesterday. They said it wasn't safe because it sat on the stove for five hours after I turned off the heat. It was still hot when I went to bed the night I made it. Did share cake slices with my friends at work. It was a mix of lemon, blueberry, and banana nut cake slices. Two friends sang happy birthday to me. If it doesn't storm tonight may visit Lee and Daniel.
Thanks Mary! I so enjoyed your topic today. I am dehydrating another batch of zucchini today (8 zucchini made 12 ozs of dehydrated zucchini flakes... wow! I had no idea what to expect). My family won't eat zucchini unless I've hidden it in the dish. Don't worry, I do tell them it's in there and challenge them to find it (haha). I'm inspired to make a few meals in a jar with the dehydrated zucchini as an ingredient. My environment is very humid so the silica packets are often used as well as vacuum sealing the jars with my saved canning lids. Heading over to your explore your playlist soon!
Such a helpful video. All of your videos are so well planned, clear and enjoyable to watch. You are a blessing to those of us who were lucky enough to have found your channel. On a side note, I followed your directions and made the most wonderful bone broth. Thank you for all that you do.
Thank you so much. If I were making the bread you showed, I would add leavener at the time of baking. It would, indeed, be less convenient, but at my house, the leavener may get old enough to lose its"oomph" if I don't take steps to use a fresh supply. I did not notice in the video if you mention a time frame for its use. I have learned through experience to date everything. For the pasta you showed, I think there would be a great difference in the finished dish with the choice of pasta. The large variety you show has lots of air spaces. A smaller type, like elbow pasta, would result in a lot more product in the jar hence changing relationships.
Thanks for the great ideas using dehydrated food! We live in an area that is humid in the warm months. I have found that the plastic lids are not tight enough to keep my dehydrated products dry. I use the flat lids and rings. I also vacuum seal the food in the mason jars (so I don’t need silica gel packs) and reuse the flat lids over and over for dry food storage.
Mary, I came on to ask specifically what I should make for dinner. I've been so weak from unexpected medical fiasco that have hit me. Everything is frozen, but do have a lot dehydrated. I'll watch and see here, so serendipitous.
Hello my Texas neighbor (and former NY neighbor). I love these meals in a jar ideas and I would love to put them in my prepper pantry. I’m single and live alone and was wondering if an oxygen absorber or silicone pack could be added to make this a more long term item for my shelf? I also travel extensively with my job and I’m gone for almost a month at a time. These would be great healthy meals that would be easy to prepare in a hotel room (I do stay in hotels with a kitchenette). I’m thinking that a mylar bag would be better to travel with? Thoughts? And thank you so much for all you do for the Prepper community.
Howdy Kat, ❤️🤠❤️ I would stick with using a silica gel pack. Oxygen absorbers have such specific requirements as to when they are appropriate to use but silica gel packs simply keep out any unwanted moisture and that’s basically what you’re looking for when you’re making something like this in a jar. Love, Mary
I will be a dehydrator wizard, hahahahahaha, you are so awesome Mary, I love you! I just bought and will be delivered today a Corosi dehydrator. I didn't like the one you use because you have to remove the door to see inside what is happening. I also bought over a year ago a collapsible dehydrator, I would not recommend this, the heat escapes everywhere because it is collapsible and uses a lot of electricity. It is not efficient at all; however, it will dehydrate the food, but it takes forever for this reason.
The white mason lids are not airtight. Use metal for any longer term than a few mos. I was bummed to learn this a couple yrs ago. But it explained some things!
Dear Mary, i love watching you cooking so much, i even make a nice cup of Irish tea and watch lol. Mary, please can i ask you, i do not have a dehydrating machine, just an old gas oven, and a small cooking hydrator. I wonder if i can use my small hydration oven pot for storing some dried vegetables. Sorry if my question is silly, but if you don't ask you won't learn. I only have my husband and me at home, but i want to make sure i prepare for hard times ahead, and that means trying to put away some things for long-term use. Thank you and you make my day here in London UK. Blessings, love and peace to you.
If you have a dehydrator with a temperature setting, you can dehydrrate foods on the lowest possible setting. I dry my basil and oregano between 95 - 120. This is too low for tomato & pepper as those turn black before drying out. Tomato & pepper are dried around 128-135. Other veg are dried between 120-145. Jerky of course we bring up to 165 and then the remaining time is at 145 to 155 depending on the type of meat (of course they're cured with Prague powder ahead of time). Your results may vary depending on moisture/ humidity and type of meat as well as the dehydrator used.
I like your meals in a jar method. 😊 I've seen others making meals in a bag. However, I don't buy their recipes bcz most of them are things my hubby won't eat. The ideas you shared today are things he would eat. I just have not had the time to learn how to freeze dry veggies yet. 🙃 I saw the mats you used, but I don't know if you put the mats in your freezer or if they go in a special machine. I'll keep watching. 😊🥰
I have end stage kidney disease (thank you to Johnson and Johnson COVID vaccine). Three things I can not eat are tomatoes, potatoes, and any of the various dried beans. Do you have enough info to make a video on recipes for ESRD? I love the stuff you present that I can use, bone broth, etc. I have to cook everything from scratch. Thank you!
Can you combine different flours together? I have all purpose, rice, almond, potato, green banana, wheat, etc. Found them a couple months ago at 50c a pound at a store that was going out of business.
How long would you keep these around before using them? Is the idea that you're going to use these a few times a week, on busy days, or a few times a month, or are they for emergencies? I would always like to hear more about when you use the things you make, because one of the things I struggle with is doing this like a crafts project, where I play around with dried macaroni and make pretty jars full of stuff, and then they sit in the pantry while we eat our "real" food.
When you dehydrated bone broth, 5 cups of broth equals 1/3 cups of powder. With the rice pilaf in a jar the recipe states to put 1/4 cup of dehydrated bone broth in the jar. Would this be a lot of powder for this recipe?
Hello Mary! When you make your meals in the jar dont you have to put some kind of oxygen absorbers or vaccum seal them for the meals to go into long term storage?
@Mary’s Nest Hi Mary and thanks so much for these recipes! They look yummy. Question…The oatmeal bread has baking powder and I’m wondering the shelf life for this jar/all your jar mixes?? Should we use oxygen absorbers?
If you don’t have dry bone broth. Can you add a chicken cube first thing in the jar or can you add a tomato chicken cube with the make now can you add that?
Question. I have one thing missing in my emergency pantry: BREAD. If I'm unable to use an oven, can i do a pre-made mix and add water to cook over a fire? What would you suggest, please? Thanks for your time.
I have been wondering about the cooking time with dehydrated veggies toward pasta and rice. The brands I use here in Sweden takes between 7-12 minutes for pasta and 10-12 minutes for rice. Do the veggies really get soft and all cooked through at that time? I will make a test but I just wanted to point out a possibly problem. Question: I dehydrated mixed veggies - corn, peppers and peas - and much of it fell apart into small pieces, almost dust. Did I dehyrdrate it to long or what happened?
Hello Mary, I enjoy learning from you:). You have such a sweet disposition 💕. I could use some help finding the full recipe and how to actually use and bake the oatmeal bread. I followed your link and looked over your website, but I'm not finding this full recipe including the baking info. I hope you catch this comment:)! Blessings, RitaLynn
marysnest.com/how-to-make-mea... This is the link to the recipe link. It was in her comment under the video. If you click on the ' more' it will have the links to what she talked about. Hope this helps.
If I lose electricity for along time in the winter and it won’t be fixed for days, how would I go about canning the meat in my fridge? Do i thaw it before canning, or cook it first. I do have a gas stove to be able to can.
yYou shouldn't put baking soda, baking powder together in storage meals. The leavening will activate and then deactivate and be useless. Also the salt added with the leavening ingredients will also work against the leavening. If humour going to store in a jar, separate the leavening agents into small zip top baggie and then combine when making the recipe.
Not related to this video. Mary I'm wanting to make a medicinal oil from flox paniculata do u use the flower only of leaf root? I want to make a salve for eczema and boils
Anyone have a trick to keeping their tomato powder from sticking? It's very humid here. We use moisture absorber packs in our jars or bags of dehydrated foods. We add 3 chick peas to the tomato powder. It still sticks. Has anyone had luck using rice?
Hi Catherine, Just check the “best by date” on the baking soda and baking powder that you use in the mix and that will give you a good indication of how long your mix will stay fresh. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
MARY< DO NOT THAW OR RUN FROZEN VEGES UNDER WATER TO DEHYDRATE! Frozen veges have already been blanched and thawing them will make a big gooey mess. I know cause I did it once. Mary, please update the dehydrate short to not show the frozen veges under running water.

Thanks for watching! Love, Mary
Thanks Mary, great tips, you've given me some ideas for homemade Christmas gifts too!
This comment has nothing to do with meals in a jar. I simply came to the your page & found the most recent video. Because I want to thank you. I'm in Central Florida we are now under a hurricane warning as Ian has come ashore on the south east of the state.Orlando where I'm at will receive the worst of it in the morning. However while I am prepared,, the one item I could not find nor could my neighbors was bread. Months ago I watched your easy sandwich bread video and bought everything to try it as I have never made bread before. I never got around to making it but today I have made two batches so there's four loaves to share. The second batch is rising, the first batch came out of the oven and it smell delicious. The recipe is incredibly easy. Fingers crossed that I didn't mess the recipe up.. they do smell delicious 🤤 If it hadn't been for your video and how you are so reassuring that it's easy for a beginner I never would have tried this....BREAD...something so simple that many people take for granted but when you're at risk of losing power and knowing that you will be eating sandwiches and canned food for a while bread suddenly becomes a necessity....Again THANK YOU .. you saved my neighbors and I from eating everything on crackers..🍞🥪
You are the best Mary, even tho I'm keto I still watch your videos because I love your style, tips and organization ❤️ God bless you my friend! 🙏
You are SO sweet!! Thank you for the kind words!! I have some Keto recipes that I hope will be helpful to you: czcams.com/play/PLkRuW3pBo2U1vp8bJ8Qn2VDPoFI5vOebT.html Love, Mary
@@MarysNest TY Mary 🙏❤️
I'm keto too and watch Mary's videos for the same reason. Thank you for verbalizing that and prompting Mary to add a link with keto items. Greatly appreciated.
@UmbrellaGrapeSolutions Take Two Hi! Do u also Fast?The combo of both is great! I follow Dr Bergs healthy keto - lots of veggies, no snacking ( desert with meal) 4 oz of organic healthy protein per meal! Avocado is great, healthy fat!
@@kathleenmaddox2346 Hi! Awe it's my pleasure. She's an amazing woman, so nice of her to do 🙏 💕
I’ve been watching and learning from you for a long while. My kitchen has changed dramatically!
Wow!! That is so fantastic to hear!! Love, Mary
Me too! But, my question was How to dehydrate w/out a dehydrator. Trying to do a gluten free prep kitchen is challenging!
I love your videos because you talk to us as if we’re right there in the kitchen with you visiting and talking about homemaking things 😍
I can’t wait to try some of these mixes! I would’ve never thought to dehydrate store-bought frozen vegetables but it makes so much sense. They take up less space and freezer space always seems to be limited. Also, if the power goes out, you aren’t running around trying to figure out what to do with all your frozen veggies.
Hi Mary , thank you so much for these videos. I’ve been reaching back to my memories of what my grama taught me as a child. She lived thru the depression and much more. Canning, having a food pantry and such. Making the most of what you have. I turn to you to learn and refresh what i remembered as a child. My memories of my grandma are my best treasure. Thank you again for the teaching and your time.
Hi Mary, your food always looks so delicious! I would warn people that those white plastic lids are not air tight, so they will not keep the food fresh for long term. (They are not leak proof either. Don't ask me how I know, LOL.) Anyway, every other channel making jar meals, that I have seen, uses oxygen absorbers or vacuum seals, with canning lids, for shelf life. Oxygen (not air) is what will age your ingredients. (Of course, you don't want moisture or sunlight either.) The non air tight lids also allow moisture in to your dehydrated foods, which ruins them, after awhile. I'm sure using them up quickly may be fine, but wanted to let others know, just in case. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes.
I just love these meals-in-a-jar recipes (esp. the ones that require adding water only); it really helps to learn other ways to use up your preps!! Thank you as always, Mary!!
I know it may seem a pipe dream, but I wish you sold these ready to go side dishes and meals in stores. I know the whole point is to do this ourselves, but for those who can't, having these on hand, already pre-packaged in our pantry, would be the next best thing. Hugs!
Hi Mary. Your recipes and methods are the absolute best! A few nights ago I made chicken bone broth with your insurance policy, and my family is still raving about it. The food prepared with it has been the best to ever come out of our kitchen. Thanks for your wonderful videos and wisdom!
Oh Vanessa! I am so happy to hear this!! Love, Mary ❤️🤗❤️
I love your smile. Your smile makes me smile.
My husband really likes the oatmeal bread in a jar. Thank you for the delicious recipe. I used half whole wheat and half regular flour. I found I needed to add a little more liquid to the bread because the WW absorbs more liquid. It’s great to have this mix on hand.❤
Mary, you are a blessing to this world! Your Martha Stewart comment reminded me of the days we didn't have so many food/cooking shows available to watch. Martha Stewart and those on PBS were some of the only few until cable networks made these types of shows so popular. The only 24 hr information we had was our cookbooks. I am grateful for people like you who have learned so much and passed that information to us. God bless! ❤️
Wonderful ideas and tips, as always, Mary. We definitely need to try doing this more. Hope you all are finally getting a break from the Texas heat and having a blessed weekend.
Hi Rob, Thank you SO much!! Can you believe - when I got up this AM it was already in the high 70s!! We'll be hitting the high 90s today. Looking forward to ...maybe... it cooling down by December!! LOL!! Love to the SG family, Mary
I love Mary's videos! It's like your mother figure welcoming you in to her home and she is just doing her stuff, pottering and prepping and you are asking questions. It just feels like a wholesome hug and i just wanted to give you a virtual one back. Thank you Mary. You are a rare find.
I love traditional cooking from around the world. I absolutely love your 4 corners kitchen concept and it is really helping here with all of the produce from the garden that we are processing. We built the start of a prepper pantry in the workshop. 2 Shelves about 35" x 15.5" in imperial. I have almost filled the top shelf stacked with home-made canned foods. We have juice, pasta, rice and oil on the bottom shelf. It has hardwood backing and just needs some doors, so i am currently using a towel to keep out the light.
Today, we just cleaned out our working pantry. I wrote down what we had and the dates on all this new lentils and stuff that we got from my mother in laws house after she passed. When we cleared out her pantry we just left pasta, plain flour, some tins and herbs that i knew that we would still need the next time that we visited for the big movement of stuff.
I just have our baking cupboards to sort through and tidy so we have more space and to also make a mental note of what we already have. I just need to decide, which of her many le croisset iron casserole pots to take back to keep. Do people buy these second hand?
Going to be really hard and sad trying to choose which serving dishes, plates, etc. They did down size from the big house to the bungalow but they still have more cupboards than we do in a bigger space. We do have a potential cubby area that we can build units/ shelves. It isn't just about it's practical use but also a lot of pieces are sentimental.
I only have a few small pieces from when my mum died when i was 10, so i appreciate these heirlooms, even if it things like US cup measuring cups or a proper metal jam funnel. She had two boys and her eldest son isn't settled and not into cooking big family meals, so he is happy that we can keep what we can in the family. She also love traditional cooking and has every coloured chopping boards and lots of old cooking tools i needed to google. She never wanted help in the kitchen, in fact, it was a distraction so it was very hard to learn from her. She had a whole bookcase dedicated to cook books. I have taken what hubby allowed me to take as i needed to bare in mind that we also have some of his Grandpa's cookbooks. I like the old Mrs Beaton's cook books and some that i found from the 70's, where everything was made into jelly! Whether you like it or not, i love the history and the old/ new colour photos in the books.
Anyway, i won't bother you any more. Whilst grateful for our super bumper crops of tomatoes this year, compared to the wet blight weather we had last year, i can't wait for the harvesting and processing of that to die down. Still have loads of veg in the garden, here in Zone 9, London, UK.
Kid is sick of fresh tomatoes as they were in spring with spinach. Not sure they have understood the kilos of tomatoes that have been processed. lol It is your back that suffers from processing the most.
It isn't just about the cost of food or increased energy prices that i am preparing for but i think we maybe getting a very cold winter.
Anyway, you take care our sweet friend x
I just love this. I didn’t realize you could Dehydrate broth!! I thought they could only be freeze dried! This just makes me so happy
Mary, as always, you give us so many ideas and tips !! Be blessed you and your family.
Thanks for sharing. I will do that once we are at our own place especially for Lee and Daniel to eat while I'm at work. They wouldn't let me eat my sinigang yesterday. They said it wasn't safe because it sat on the stove for five hours after I turned off the heat. It was still hot when I went to bed the night I made it. Did share cake slices with my friends at work. It was a mix of lemon, blueberry, and banana nut cake slices. Two friends sang happy birthday to me. If it doesn't storm tonight may visit Lee and Daniel.
Thanks Mary! I so enjoyed your topic today. I am dehydrating another batch of zucchini today (8 zucchini made 12 ozs of dehydrated zucchini flakes... wow! I had no idea what to expect). My family won't eat zucchini unless I've hidden it in the dish. Don't worry, I do tell them it's in there and challenge them to find it (haha). I'm inspired to make a few meals in a jar with the dehydrated zucchini as an ingredient. My environment is very humid so the silica packets are often used as well as vacuum sealing the jars with my saved canning lids. Heading over to your explore your playlist soon!
Oh Rosemary! You are so clever! Love it! Love, Mary ❤️🤗❤️
Such a helpful video. All of your videos are so well planned, clear and enjoyable to watch. You are a blessing to those of us who were lucky enough to have found your channel. On a side note, I followed your directions and made the most wonderful bone broth. Thank you for all that you do.
Love this! Please do more videos like this and maybe also cooking them up.
Will do! ❤️🤗❤️
Hi Mary, I absolutely LOVE the mixes. I think I have made all the ones you have shared! Thankyou!
Glad you like them!
Thank you Mary. So good to see your smile again. Love to you and hugs to your family.🌷
Thank you SO much! Sending love to you too!
@@MarysNest Thank you, lovely friend.❣️
Thank you so much. If I were making the bread you showed, I would add leavener at the time of baking. It would, indeed, be less convenient, but at my house, the leavener may get old enough to lose its"oomph" if I don't take steps to use a fresh supply. I did not notice in the video if you mention a time frame for its use. I have learned through experience to date everything. For the pasta you showed, I think there would be a great difference in the finished dish with the choice of pasta. The large variety you show has lots of air spaces. A smaller type, like elbow pasta, would result in a lot more product in the jar hence changing relationships.
Thanks for the great ideas using dehydrated food! We live in an area that is humid in the warm months. I have found that the plastic lids are not tight enough to keep my dehydrated products dry. I use the flat lids and rings. I also vacuum seal the food in the mason jars (so I don’t need silica gel packs) and reuse the flat lids over and over for dry food storage.
This was SO great! I hope you will consider doing more of these! Thank you!
Excelente idea to keep everything ready, this is fantastic for a busy people. Love it. ❤
Great ideas. I'd love to see these after you cook them please!
Mary, I came on to ask specifically what I should make for dinner. I've been so weak from unexpected medical fiasco that have hit me. Everything is frozen, but do have a lot dehydrated. I'll watch and see here, so serendipitous.
Hi Mary
I’m sooo glad I found you.
Thank you.
Mary, these would make a great gift to give friends !
Hello my Texas neighbor (and former NY neighbor). I love these meals in a jar ideas and I would love to put them in my prepper pantry. I’m single and live alone and was wondering if an oxygen absorber or silicone pack could be added to make this a more long term item for my shelf? I also travel extensively with my job and I’m gone for almost a month at a time. These would be great healthy meals that would be easy to prepare in a hotel room (I do stay in hotels with a kitchenette). I’m thinking that a mylar bag would be better to travel with? Thoughts? And thank you so much for all you do for the Prepper community.
Howdy Kat, ❤️🤠❤️ I would stick with using a silica gel pack. Oxygen absorbers have such specific requirements as to when they are appropriate to use but silica gel packs simply keep out any unwanted moisture and that’s basically what you’re looking for when you’re making something like this in a jar. Love, Mary
Good video Mary, I am always happy to see you come up with a new one. Makes my day. Thanks for all you do!
Encyclopedic! So creative and so helpful. I’m sad it was only 15 minutes 😝. Thank you
thank you for sharing❤️❤️🇿🇦
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing from Johannesburg South Africa 👍💕
I will be a dehydrator wizard, hahahahahaha, you are so awesome Mary, I love you! I just bought and will be delivered today a Corosi dehydrator. I didn't like the one you use because you have to remove the door to see inside what is happening. I also bought over a year ago a collapsible dehydrator, I would not recommend this, the heat escapes everywhere because it is collapsible and uses a lot of electricity. It is not efficient at all; however, it will dehydrate the food, but it takes forever for this reason.
The white mason lids are not airtight. Use metal for any longer term than a few mos.
I was bummed to learn this a couple yrs ago. But it explained some things!
Dear Mary, i love watching you cooking so much, i even make a nice cup of Irish tea and watch lol. Mary, please can i ask you, i do not have a dehydrating machine, just an old gas oven, and a small cooking hydrator. I wonder if i can use my small hydration oven pot for storing some dried vegetables. Sorry if my question is silly, but if you don't ask you won't learn. I only have my husband and me at home, but i want to make sure i prepare for hard times ahead, and that means trying to put away some things for long-term use. Thank you and you make my day here in London UK. Blessings, love and peace to you.
If you have a dehydrator with a temperature setting, you can dehydrrate foods on the lowest possible setting. I dry my basil and oregano between 95 - 120. This is too low for tomato & pepper as those turn black before drying out. Tomato & pepper are dried around 128-135. Other veg are dried between 120-145. Jerky of course we bring up to 165 and then the remaining time is at 145 to 155 depending on the type of meat (of course they're cured with Prague powder ahead of time). Your results may vary depending on moisture/ humidity and type of meat as well as the dehydrator used.
Thanks about the herbs mention, I have some Steva o need to dry, might try dehydrator on 95
I have a very old dehydrator that doesn’t have a temp. control, but I think it’s set to 160°. Is there anything I shouldn’t dehydrate at that temp.?
Just found you. I am keto but I love your videos. Adjust for keto.
Great video, Mary! I love your creativity.
Thank you so much!
thank you for sharing love you video on recipes you a Beautiful person God Bless you
Hi Bridget, Thank you so much for the kind words. God bless you too! Love, Mary
Love your videos. Thank you ❤ you are so awesome
Thank you SO much! Love, Mary
You are brilliant Mary. you gave me some really good ideas. Thanks so much.
Thank you Mary!
I like your meals in a jar method. 😊 I've seen others making meals in a bag. However, I don't buy their recipes bcz most of them are things my hubby won't eat. The ideas you shared today are things he would eat. I just have not had the time to learn how to freeze dry veggies yet. 🙃 I saw the mats you used, but I don't know if you put the mats in your freezer or if they go in a special machine. I'll keep watching. 😊🥰
These are not freeze dried. They are dehydrated. The 2 methods use different machines. I hope this helps. 🙂
Thank you Mary
Thank you
I just love this channel, great video.
i love all your tips -- INSPIRING : )
Mary I wanted to mention am a Fort Bend, Texas lady.😊
Thank you, I really appreciate your videos; I learn so much each time ❤Blessings
What great gift ideas! Thank you Mary
WOW you are amazing! Thank you.
Hi sweet friend... greetings from Roermond in the Netherlands ❣️❣️❣️
Excellent! Can’t wait to make these mixes!
I have end stage kidney disease (thank you to Johnson and Johnson COVID vaccine). Three things I can not eat are tomatoes, potatoes, and any of the various dried beans. Do you have enough info to make a video on recipes for ESRD? I love the stuff you present that I can use, bone broth, etc. I have to cook everything from scratch. Thank you!
Fabulous! Thank you!
Hello sweetie, was watching this food in a jar and wish that lived next door . There you would everything you know God Bless ❤
Thank you for these recipes Mary!!!
Sweet Mary, you rock! Thank you 😊. Would you have any recipes/ideas for a black bean burger or any veggie burger in a jar?
You look so beautiful Marry ♥️🌹 stay blessed , you are truly awesome i have learnt so much from you just in one video 🙏🏼thanks a million
Thank you💙
You’re welcome 😊
I can't wait to try these! I'm limited on space; could I vacuum seal in bags? Do the jars of dehydrated items not need vacuum sealing?
very good info, very helpful, very useful
Can you combine different flours together? I have all purpose, rice, almond, potato, green banana, wheat, etc. Found them a couple months ago at 50c a pound at a store that was going out of business.
How long would you keep these around before using them? Is the idea that you're going to use these a few times a week, on busy days, or a few times a month, or are they for emergencies? I would always like to hear more about when you use the things you make, because one of the things I struggle with is doing this like a crafts project, where I play around with dried macaroni and make pretty jars full of stuff, and then they sit in the pantry while we eat our "real" food.
When you dehydrated bone broth, 5 cups of broth equals 1/3 cups of powder. With the rice pilaf in a jar the recipe states to put 1/4 cup of dehydrated bone broth in the jar. Would this be a lot of powder for this recipe?
❤ Hi Mary
Oh I wish you would have done your cracker recipe here.
Hello Mary! When you make your meals in the jar dont you have to put some kind of oxygen absorbers or vaccum seal them for the meals to go into long term storage?
@Mary’s Nest
Hi Mary and thanks so much for these recipes! They look yummy. Question…The oatmeal bread has baking powder and I’m wondering the shelf life for this jar/all your jar mixes?? Should we use oxygen absorbers?
Thanks for sharing 10-22-2022👍🏽👍🏽♥️
If you don’t have dry bone broth. Can you add a chicken cube first thing in the jar or can you add a tomato chicken cube with the make now can you add that?
Hi Mary, great recipes, thank you! Could I vacuum seal the jars so I can gift them at Christmas?
Question. I have one thing missing in my emergency pantry: BREAD. If I'm unable to use an oven, can i do a pre-made mix and add water to cook over a fire? What would you suggest, please? Thanks for your time.
I have been wondering about the cooking time with dehydrated veggies toward pasta and rice. The brands I use here in Sweden takes between 7-12 minutes for pasta and 10-12 minutes for rice. Do the veggies really get soft and all cooked through at that time? I will make a test but I just wanted to point out a possibly problem.
Question: I dehydrated mixed veggies - corn, peppers and peas - and much of it fell apart into small pieces, almost dust. Did I dehyrdrate it to long or what happened?
Hello Mary, I enjoy learning from you:). You have such a sweet disposition 💕. I could use some help finding the full recipe and how to actually use and bake the oatmeal bread. I followed your link and looked over your website, but I'm not finding this full recipe including the baking info. I hope you catch this comment:)! Blessings, RitaLynn
marysnest.com/how-to-make-mea... This is the link to the recipe link. It was in her comment under the video. If you click on the ' more' it will have the links to what she talked about. Hope this helps.
If I lose electricity for along time in the winter and it won’t be fixed for days, how would I go about canning the meat in my fridge? Do i thaw it before canning, or cook it first. I do have a gas stove to be able to can.
I can't remember when I was last inspired to cook but I'm glad I found you a few weeks ago because that is no longer true!
yYou shouldn't put baking soda, baking powder together in storage meals. The leavening will activate and then deactivate and be useless. Also the salt added with the leavening ingredients will also work against the leavening. If humour going to store in a jar, separate the leavening agents into small zip top baggie and then combine when making the recipe.
Hi Mary, can freeze dried be replaced for the dehydrated ingredients? Thanks for the wonderful ideas!
That's a great question! I have never tried it but it's worth experimenting with. Love, Mary
Very good
Hello 👋 😊
Not related to this video. Mary I'm wanting to make a medicinal oil from flox paniculata do u use the flower only of leaf root? I want to make a salve for eczema and boils
Anyone have a trick to keeping their tomato powder from sticking? It's very humid here. We use moisture absorber packs in our jars or bags of dehydrated foods. We add 3 chick peas to the tomato powder. It still sticks. Has anyone had luck using rice?
Hmmm…great question. It’s pretty dry here so I don’t have an answer for you but hopefully others will chime in. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
Mary, sometimes my dehydrated vegies don't seem to rehydrate all the way. They seem chewy. Any suggestions ?
What brand hydrators do u use
Has anyone made the baking powder biscuits using the recipe on the side of the baking powder canister? Thanks.
Mary how long is the storage for the oatmeal bread? Wouldn’t the baking soda/powder go bad? Can you bring back the baking soda/powder
Hi Catherine, Just check the “best by date” on the baking soda and baking powder that you use in the mix and that will give you a good indication of how long your mix will stay fresh. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
@@MarysNest Thank you Mary. Many Blessings too you and your family 💗
This might be a strange question but can broccoli and cauliflower be dehydrated.? How do we know what can and can’t be dehydrated?.. 😊
How about brussel sprouts..?? I have to go out and pick mine yet.. I always thought I could freeze it. But , could I dehydrate those too???
I may have missed this. Did she say how long these last?
MARY< DO NOT THAW OR RUN FROZEN VEGES UNDER WATER TO DEHYDRATE! Frozen veges have already been blanched and thawing them will make a big gooey mess. I know cause I did it once. Mary, please update the dehydrate short to not show the frozen veges under running water.
How long do these last?
Went to order your meals in a jar book on Amazon but not available? Thank You
What kind of jar are you using ?
I am using various sized Ball canning jars. Some are quarts and others are pints. Love, Mary
Mary I have a question. What is the point to dehydrate frozen vegetables? I can put it directly to any dish ..
Hi Marina, It's just to save space in freezer. Love, Mary
It's for when your freezer doesn't run cause the electricity is out.
Best to be prepared for times when all your luxuries are gone.
Shorter video is appreciated thank you.
