I have a quick tip I saw your cutting board move when you were getting the onion ready to peel wet a couple paper towels or wash cloth and put them under your cutting board to prevent it from slipping or moving. 😊
Thank you so much!
We have had good luck storing potatoes in our basement where it is cool and totally dark. We repurposed plastic stacking bread trays used to transport commercial sandwich bread, because they allow for air flow and prevent one bad potato from harming the whole batch. We also store our carrots in an old wooden crate filled with dry sand. Thanks for another great video!
Such good advice, thanks!!
Good morning Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your yummy meals ❤ i love your shirt you had on making tacos 🌮 ❤ from Tunkhannock Pennsylvania
Yall have a blessed weekend
Thank you so much!! You too
We make sure we pull the eyes of the potato’s off as soon as they start sprouting out. We never let them get long. Also you could try putting the potato’s in a thick brown paper bag and make sure they are covered up and store in a cool but not freezing dark dry room.
They are out of sight and out of mind until we need more. We have the cool and the dark, I think we need to make sure to cover them next year!
When you’ll see the stems starting you go through your potatoes and pull them off! The potatoes will last till spring planting. Takes a bit of time but saves your potatoes. In northern Ontario it was a February job.
Love your show watch all the time even reruns
I get so excited when I see your vlogs
Aw, thanks! We are so happy to have people excited to spend time with us!
Mark is hilarious 😂.
Agreed! He keeps us all from getting too serious around here, ok mostly me. Have a wonderful weekend
I loved the size of Hunter's bowl. And Everett is a sweetheart. Love all of you in Alaska.
Hahaha! He was finishing the salad 🥗 from the big bowl to save dishes. Thank you so much for watching, we are grateful you’re here.
awesome video thank you for sharing love from pa
Thanks for watching! Hope you have a wonderful weekend Cheryl!
Wow; your egg noodles look perfect! Great job!
Your boys are a lot of help and they are great eaters.
I LOVE HALIBUT AND CILANTRO ;)

Love watching your family.
Thank you so much! We are so grateful you’re here!!
Great meals. I love your cooking shows. Thanks for sharing.
Love your beautiful family God Bless You All
Thanks so much! We are grateful you're here!
oh for your potatoes you can do many things to store them. you can cut them up & can them..blanch & freeze them..make French fry forms and blanch and freeze...and the rest put in a box in a dark place.
I just love the Costco hauls and these type of videos , great job !
So glad you enjoy them! Have a wonderful weekend and we will be back soon with another Costco haul
You're hair is cute Lauren!! I love it!!!
Save all the runners and plant them!!!
Loved, loved, LOVED this vlog! Your family is such a joy to watch! Keep up the great work.
Thanks! Maria, we are so happy to have you here. Have a wonderful weekend!
Everything you cook, you make it look so easy. All your dinners look 😋 as always . 😍
Love love the video specially the recipes 😊❤️
You should always put your dried spices in your hand, then give them a good rub with the other hand. This wakes up the flavor and awakens the oil of the herbs. Just a little hack my grandmother taught me. I noticed you already roll up the other fresh leafy Vega and shifinad. I do the same.
Such a fun vlog, loving watching your family and seeing that it’s not only us in Scotland that are always cold. Big hugs to you all xx
I feel like we more cold than not here in Wisconsin, USA, too!
Love the halibut and salmon recipes. Will be trying this week. Always looking for variations for fish.
Grand hair cut--Spring shear!
Made egg noodles with my grandma; she let me cut them with a butter knife.
Everett has the YT sign off down!
Happy Spring.
Thank you so much! Everett does the sign off with no prompting, I always forget to say those things but he thinks it’s so much fun. Have a wonderful weekend and I will try to keep the fish recipes coming

Oh I loved the cooking video, it warms my heart seeing your family helping out especially little EVERETT. Definitely going to try the salmon and the egg roll in a bowl 🥣😋 yes I fixed it tonight and we loved it and so simple. Thanks for sharing your family with us.
Everett is getting really interested in helping in the kitchen. I love his enthusiasm. Thank you so much for watching!! See you again soon!
Big cilantro fun !
Your Pico looked great!
Good cut on your hair !!😘
Mark, potatoes need to be stored in a dark cool place. You can use your pails for storage but cover them with a breathable cloth such as burlap. I have really enjoyed your fishing and hunting trips.
Store potatoes in a dark cool slightly humid room covered
We had dark and cool, maybe covering them is the element we’re missing
Really enjoyed this one. My next lasagne will be sweet potato...looks lovely
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being here.
Great recipes! Love your hair Lauren!
Aw, thanks! It was time for a change. Thanks for watching Donna!
Another awesome video! Your recipes looked delicious and can't wait to try them. Everett just melts my heart! He really is eager to help in the kitchen and never fails to show how much he loves his mom. You guys are an awesome family. ❤❤
Thank you so much Deborah!! I am so excited to see Everett’s enthusiasm in the kitchen. He insists on making us salads and fruit platters all the time.
You look stunning and refreshed ....loved the menu.
Dear Lauren and family every video Im just blown away by not just how polite you all are but the close connection you all have your always their for eachother you stick together through the trial and tribulations of every day
Every video in which you create makes me believe more everyday and that things will be okay when you showed the Costco haul with yourself and Everitt and when you purchased the melatonin gel for kids I researched it and purchased a few of the items I have you to thank because they work really well and enable be to sleep for the first time in years
I do hope you day goes well much love
Myself and my rabbits Watsitt and Cocoa x
Ps Never change who you are Lauren because your just fine
Wow, you are so kind. I am glad that you can feel our love and family values through our videos. I am so glad that the melatonin helped you, it has been a life saver for us on many occasions. We are so grateful you’re here and hope you enjoy many more videos to come!
I love these types of video. I love cilantro. I have been enjoying Kenyan beans lately. I use pinto beans or black beans, diced or petite tomatoes (I use petite tomatoes), cilantro, onions, I add garlic, and salt & pepper.
Those sound amazing! I will need to try them. Thank you so much for watching!
@@ThisAlaskaLife I eat the beans with rice and add sour cream. I forgot that part
What are Kenyan Beans, where do you get them, send the recipe to Lauren. This sounds so good
@@marcellahicks3984 the recipe is in my comment above!
Yummy delicious food is what I see in y'all meals and absolutely 💯 amazing and beautiful family time and helping out in preparing and Lauren your hair is gorgeous I love it
Thanks Tarra! Dinner time can sometime be stressful but as I edit these videos I am amazed by all the wonderful food and time we spent together. Thanks for watching!!
All I can say is YUM! Everything looked delicious, but I gotta say I must learn how to make those noodles!!! 🌼
Thanks! The noodles were great, totally going to make them again. Have a wonderful weekend!
Enjoyed the video
Lauren do you realise how pretty you are? The new hairstyle is gorgeous and your skin is flawless! I know this is a cooking meals video but can we just take a moment to pause at 18:19 Mark you are so funny and you both are wonderful Parents. ❤ The meals looked fantastic just one thing missing the quality controller/inspector 🐈⬛
You are too kind!! I did forget to put a Luna inspection in this one!! 😂😂 I love finding the funny Mark moments when I am editing! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Much love from Alaska
Love the Dashleys and they have the best recipes on the Dashleys kitchen! My favorite is the beef stroganoff. Love your family cooking videos!!
I will for sure have to try their stroganoff!
Great to see you all cooking, it's so enjoyable watching. You hair looks lovely. 💞
Thank you so much! Thank you so much for watching!
You should get a pasta maker, it’s fun
Oh the fun we could have!
Your such a good mom and dad ,you have the boys help with cooking and setting the table great 👍
Thank you so much! We are trying to raise good boys and make sure they know how to cook, clean, and help!
Hello family love the way your husband and son cook he daddy helper,like the way your wife cook too thanks for the recipes,may god ever keep you all.❤️😊😊😀🙏🙏🐈.tell Luna I say meow!.
I love how enthusiastic Everett is becoming in the kitchen. Mark taught me a lot about cooking and I am grateful he can step in, especially on the weekends.
So wonderful to see Mark cooking, my hubby doesn’t cook.:) if moms gone it’s hot dogs and macaroni and cheese
Sounds like a Dad special when Mums not home😉
I really lucked out in this department. I learned a lot about cooking from Mark. I always preferred baking over cooking. And then with all the game meat I was lost but he and his parents shared their love of cooking, I feel blessed. Kids are always happy with Mac n cheese too!
Everette is so cute!!!
Awesome meals 😋 😊❤🙏
Ms. Ruby
All your recipes and prep looked amazing. It is 11.10am on Saturday here in Melbourne Australia and we lose our daylight saving here tonight as we are now in your fall, our Autumn coming into winter. It is cool today and I can't do much cooking nowadays due to age but mainly disability so I love seeing you all cooking together which is something we never did as children. I missed seeing Luna in today's video and loved seeing the close up and meow from her at the end of a vlog I saw last night. Say hi to the family and keep up the great entertainment.
Thanks Karen. So glad that you enjoy spending time with our family. I will make sure to tell everyone hello. It is always crazy to me to think of the opposite seasons over there! Much love from Alaska!
We love butternut squash lasagna in our home. I sub the butternut (pureed with egg, cheese and cream) for the ricotta and it is SO good. Works well with a tomato or cream based sauce.
That sounds amazing, I am going to have to try it! Oh it just makes my mouth water 🤤 have a wonderful weekend
I love avocado I put it in an on anything 😁
They say don't put your potatoes in the frig. But I do and they last me about 2 months. I use to work for a country restaurant and they kept their potatoes in the walk-in. Good luck.
Love this video!! I have a brand new air fryer - now maybe I'll be inspired to use it!! You make it look simple. I enjoy this style video and seeing the boys and Mark helping out, too. Great family and great recipes!!
Hello Claudia! We are having so much fun with the air fryer, I will try to have more ways to use it in future videos. Have a wonderful weekend!
Hope you don't mind if I share a recipe here. This is my family's new favorite.
Brown bite sized chicken in skillet,with some onions and peppers. Adds a can of drained black beans,corn,diced tomatoes, and 2 envelopes of taco seasoning and 2 cups(before cooking) of cooked rice. Top with cheese, sour cream, scallions, the whatever you like!
Sounds delicious thanks for sharing 👍
Don’t mind at all! I will add it to my binder. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Glad it sounds good to you both!
I am sure it's a recipe that has been done before by someone but I sorta concocted it out of a few different baked recipes I was going to try but then kept adding and switching things and that was the end result. Lol I've been calling it southwest chicken skillet.
I love how your husband helps you. Mine does too. Sometimes after a busy day cooking is the last thing you want to do!
Love it xxxx
That halibut looks amazing 🤩
It really was so good and even better when we reheated it in the air fryer, crisped right back up and we ate it with tartar sauce!
The egg roll in a bowl looks amazing!! My sister got me to try chicken potstickers by telling me that they were just eggrolls in a fried steamed dumpling. I would like to try that with chicken and then add some fried wontons for a crispy bite. I've had two surgeries since Nov. and food just doesn't interest me, but when I find something I can eat, I eat a lot of it. I make my own herring in cream sauce and now the chicken potstickers.
Gosh and stuff all looks so good I don't know which one I'd have picked to come over to have I'm not a cilantro lover I don't mind a little I'll eat it in Pico but basically not so much God bless take care
Wish we could have you all over for a meal! Thanks for watching, we are so grateful to have you watching. Have a wonderful weekend
Hi Lauren This Alaska Life! Lauren you're looking beautiful! All the food looks so fresh & very delicious to eat! Great video!
Thank you Bernice! We are grateful to have you here with us. Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you very much,Lauren!
@@ThisAlaskaLife You're welcome Lauren and the same to you!
They all sound and look yummy 😋
we love cilantro, also I'm getting hungry!! 😆🤣😂😹!!! take care!!
Hello, I’m new to your channel, but I’ve been watching some of the older videos. To store the potatoes, you need to dry them out after harvesting (this is key), and then store them in a dark area in baskets or crates that allow for air flow.
I so am gonna make that Egg Roll in a bowl. I've seen it made w Coleslaw Mix for a quick meal as well. you know I've NEVER boiled my lasagna noodles ever! I was taught to make it without boiling them. you just brown your meat..layer start w a tiny bit of sauce..then noodles..Mix your ricotta w 1 egg. I add garlic & parsley to it..then layer. place foil over lasagna and it basically steams it. to brown your cheese take the foil off the last 10 min or so..and you don't have to buy the no boil noodles either bc they give you half the amt as reg ones! Everett will always be the sweetheart ❤️ when he said Mom is the best snuggle buddy my heart melted. love it!
I like clintro sometimes.😊
In
That salmon is making my mouth water. I grew up in Tacoma Washington. I live fresh seafood and fish
You should keep the potatoes somewhat cooler place over the winter . In Estonia we keep them in the cellar
keep them in a cool dark area
You can definitely plant those potatoes (don’t cut off the runner because the potato will spend too much energy on regrowing). We had potatoes like this and planted and got a nice yield from them!
Thanks for the tips!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
@@ThisAlaskaLife you too! Hugs!
Good evening to you all xxxx
Hello friend!!
Hello Lauren Mark and the Boys love you all love ❤️ love ❤️ bye 👋
Love seeing all the different recipes! Definitely going to try the sweet potato lasagna - sounds interesting! We wish we had easier access to these different meats, it’s really neat to see you use them in dishes. 😊
From my understanding, POTATOES should be stored in a dark cool place. Just make sure it’s a place that you’ll not forget about. The potatoes have sugar in them, and when you store them somewhere not cool and dark. They have air around them. With the air and sugar in the potatoes. That’s when they go bad. So try the cool dark place I see farmers put them in there basement in a cool dark place. Hope this help you.
really enjoyed watching you cook all those yummy looking meals. Will definitely try the salmon chowder and the tacos, though without the moose meat since there're no moose in Germany 😅but I got some venison meat left in the freezer...
Also try to skin the ginger stem with a tablespoon, sooo easy and very safe for your boys to try.
Thanks for the tip with the ginger! Venison is so great, yum! Thank you so much for watching!
Keep them in a cool dry place and where they can get air through out them.
Lauren Thank you for this vlog. I have an expensive Air Fryer sitting on the shelf. You have given me some motivation to start using it~ Thanks!!! I love cilantro too. Yes avocados are over priced in my area also. I will be missing them in my diet till the prices come down. Have a nice weekend! Have you ever used the lasagna noodles you do not have to pre cook? I think they taste much better. And saves time.
Hello Joni! Hope you try out the air fryer, we are having so much fun with it! I have never tried the precooked noodles, I will have to try them next time. Have a wonderful weekend!
Looks awesome never had 🐻 🐻❄ 🧸 I bet it is good 👍 😀
If you get a bear at the right time it’s meat is very sweet and so good. This black bear has been so good!
Wow Lauren, Fantastic Vlog, all of ur Meals looked Lovely, my Favorite was the Chicken Knoodle Soup luv to u all 🇬🇧 Michelle Alder
Thanks Michelle! Hope you are doing well.
Store the potatoes in the darkness place you can have in the home and they should last alot longer
They were in the dark and cold. I think we need to lay them out flat and cover them. We will try to do better next year! They looked like aliens coming up from the cold cellar
In Spain we always put an apple with the potatoes. If you do it they don´t sprout but it doesn´t work if the potatoes have already sprouted
What kind of room do you store the potatoes in, I am researching potatoe storage. I never heard about the apple trick. Thanks
@@marcellahicks3984 In any room, in a dry and dark place. It is good to keep them in a basket or burlap so that they breathe
Hi Lauren, love your cooking videos & the food looks delicious. Now about cilantro I don’t like it at all it’s either you like or hate it. The same as pineapple on your pizza I love it. Have a wonderful day/weekend 💜
Hello Kim! I knew cilantro was one of those love/hate things!!! So glad you enjoyed the video, have a wonderful weekend!!
I know I am watching way late and I hope someone already left you some tips about the potatoes, but, just in case. Most important to prevent early sprouting is to keep them in the dark. Don't expose them to any light. (Also, potatoes exposed to light start to turn green and you really shouldn't eat them because the green is caused by a chemical that, in large quantities, is bad for you.) Also they should be kept cool, shouldn't be a problem there, lol, and you want good airflow and try to prevent them from touching so if a few rot, they won't ruin the rest. You could totally have planted hem with the long sprouts. Piled in a bucket all together, exposed to light from the top, is not what you want for long term storage. I grew up on a farm and planted and dug a lot of potatoes, but now I do it the easy way, with grow bags so when they are ready for harvest, I can just dump them in a larger container, or a wheelbarrow, pick up the potatoes, then put the soil back in the grow bag to use a couple more times, adding compost and fertilizer at the next planting. And, the last few years, I leave a few small potatoes in the bottom of each bag to sit over winter and then I don't have to plant at all, they just come up by themselves as soon as it's warm enough for them. But I am in zone 8 in western Washington so leaving a few potatoes in the bags for next year might not work unless you kept them in the garage or somewhere that wouldn't get desperately cold.
P.s. I left this on a different video, but if you are going to plant in the ground, digging the potatoes is easier with a pitchfork because you aren't lifting as much heavy soil as you do with a solid shovel.
These tips are extremely helpful! Thank you! We will be getting the potatoes out soon and we will do better this year!!
Too cook noodle, bri g your water to a boil, put noodles in turn off heat. By the time you have everything ready noodles are done.
Not a fan of Cilantro but I have to admit salsa is missing something without it. That's the only dish I like it in.
Help your cutting board not move, use your rubber trivet/pot holder under it while you cut or use a wet towel. Keeps the board from moving on you. All your meals looked good.
Thank you so much for the tip!
