I'm Amanda. I'm a wife, mother and a homesteader at heart. I've always been drawn to living more sustainably, and learning new skills to help make that happen. I share skills I've learned, skills I'm trying to learn and how we progress on this journey as a family to live more simply and mindfully. Thank you for watching!

I love your channel!!! Great video as always.
Bon appetit, Amanda! All of the meals looked yummy, making me hungry haha. I'm in NE FL and it's been cold here too, and grateful it's not nearly as bad as it is further north. 💚
That meatloaf looked amazing! We like to cut sweet potatoes in half, coat with olive oil , turn cut side down in casserole and sprinkle on Redmond salt. Roast at 400 til done, usually 40-50 minutes, when tender. Val C
I love seeing some one use Garam Masala. So few I know even know about it. Its good in so many things! I even like it in cookies. Meal looks great. Thanks for sharing!
I always look forward to your pantry challenges each year as you’re so good at inspiring the viewer on the different recipes. Also the hiding the liver is back! 😂
Well, I guess I will be making butter chicken for dinner tomorrow night!
Would it be okay to use fresh citrus juice instead of the chloride stuff?
Nice filtration system and attractive. Val C
I haven't been able to get filters for our Berkey. The EPA told them they couldn't sell any more filters until the EPA could prove or disprove Berkey's claims on filtration. We bought it in 2019 and are still using the same filters, and they still work. In my opinion, Zero Water is the best, but we spent a small fortune on filters. I refuse to drink tap water because I firmly believe Fluoride is a neurotoxin. We had upgraded to a 2-gallon glass Zero Water Carafe. However, due to the high cost of filters, we replaced it with the Berkey because of the long filter life. Except for the EPA getting in the way for the exact same claims your new one is making we love it.
Amanda I understand you did do research for a water filtration system. I’m going to say something. I am not saying this to be negative but I am very concerned about a glass container for water filtration. I want to suggest you do research on algae growth. Here are my thoughts. I can only see one issue with this filter system. You won’t want this in any sunlight or direct sunlight. Dangerous algae will grow in this glass container. In very little sun light. That is why other water filtration containers use a stainless steel container. Algae will start to grow in as little as 4-12 hours then they grow more rapidly. I encourage You to do your own research on algae. I’m only telling you this I had a family member get ill off of algae water. GOD BLESS
Thank you, I always appreciate kind and helpful comments.
I definitely like the aesthetics better for sure... not so Industrial looking and it like it belongs in a home. And I agree with you, I want to be able to see the contents
A clear Berkey.
but better :)
What objectively makes it better than a Berkey?@@TheHappyHomestead
Objectively, it is a lot less money.
@@TheHappyHomestead that’s what I paid for my Berkey.
Good to know! Trying the second time tonight, and thought I was just not good at this process. I'll hold off on dumping it out and check back on it as it cools. Thanks!
which mill produces the finest flour?
That salad looked so delicious! Going to have to try chickweed! Val C
You are off to a great start!
Love leftovers and turning one thing into another, the provencal salad looked super yummy especially with the salmon. Your daughter stle the show, hamming it up in her lovely giftfrom your brother - you should totally screenshot a snippet from the video and send it to him, that's a priceless memory right there with her being so proud and you looking slightly horrified together hahaha. I always like to add a bit of something like olives or relish or capers to my chicken salad, yours looked tasty. 💚
I love a good chicken salad. Next time put chopped apple & somecurry powder...WOW is it AMAZING! Do you have a video on your raspberry jam or did you film this one? I have that same 5# bag from Azure in my freezer & would like to do the same thing soon! Love your knowledge and passion for fresh cooking!
I don't have a specific raspberry video - but I do have a strawberry jam video using Pamona's Pectin (which is what I used...same process). th-cam.com/video/zWxdY0CQIwE/w-d-xo.html
For all if us who are vegan, chickpeas on their own are a great source of protein.
If you store your celery in foil it will last a bit longer
I love new adventures! I usually find inspiration on Pinterest. Today I found a use for my leftover cranberry sauce I had in the freezer from thanksgiving. I made cranberry sauce scones and also some crepe batter to use for tomorrow morning with the rest of the cranberry sauce. A win! Thanks, I love your videos!
Happy new year! Love watching the pantry challenge and using what you have. I love pickle relish in chicken salad, but that might be a southern thing, not sure. I also like curry chicken salad, that is a different spin as well. Can’t wait to see your adventures in the kitchen.
Chickweed, yes!!
It tastes good once you swallow it! I loved her critique. I also love your chicken finely chopped - will have to try that next time so no larger hard bites!
My day two is thiiiicccckkk. Idk if it’s too thick. I can’t get a clear answer online 😢
Look forward to getting some inspiration for my pantry challenge meals from you ❤
You could screw the lid on to keep it secured
Happy New Year - enjoy your content!
Great to see you again! Love your pantry challenge videos. Val
My freezers and pantry are packed, so I am so excited for this pantry challenge!
Oh Amanda, I received bread loaf pans that have lids. I have already used them and I love them. My loafs are beautiful. Perfectly square. I use a sourdough recipe that uses yeast, I find if I don’t use yeast my bread is way too dense. Have any suggestions about sourdough bread without yeast? Happy New Year to you and yours. Love you sister!
Those are Pullman loaf pan , pretty sure they are so nice
Loving the same life lol. My green bean harvest was so sad. Next year..... I found some organic green beans at Sam's and canned some up but not even close to fresh ones! I also started cleaning out the freezer and freeze dried mango, pineapple, and other frozen fruit. A friend gave me 13.5 doz eggs. I freeze dried them all and she paid me with half back. Yaay and Yaay. My challenge will only be for Jan but I am psyched. Hubby, not so much lol. Best of luck and post some of your meals please!!
Does water expire? I bought up two 24 bottles packs in August for backup. Grr it says expired. This has my biggest issue with stocking up! Can’t afford anything extra just try do what I can for an emergency! It seems to expire before I use them up
With water it has an expiration date because the plastic starts leeching into the water over time. One way to combat that is if you are a canner, fill empty jars with fresh water and can them.
@@cindymoore9096 excellent advice ❤ Thank you!
You sure got me excited for the videos to come. It was nice to get a pre-challenge ypdate on your approach, also! Happy New Year!
I'm ready to jump in to the Pantry Challenge along with no spend for 90 days In March I will re-evaluate to decide if I want to keep going. I am going to allow 20 bucks per week to buy any essentials and fresh fruits and veggies. I have not decided about my azure pick up yet. I made a couple of loaves of bread some bagels and tortillas yesterday for the week ahead. I am pretty serious about making all of our bread products this year. It's nice to see so many families ready to take on this challenge. Good Luck!!
90 days.. wow girl!
Happy New Year, Amanda and family! Will be fun to see how you handle the pantry challenge this year, thanks in advance for bringing us along. =)
The 12th day of x-mas is January 6th. so don’t worry you still have time to take your tree down
I have tomatoes, tallow and lard that need to be done January is the month!!!!
Put coffee beans around your plants tp keep rabbits away. Works like a dream. 16:34
Coffee grounds that are used work well too
This is how I learned in school how to remember how many days are in each month!Thirty days has September, April, June and November. All the rest have thirty-one. Except February, twenty-eight day clear and twenty-nine in each leap year. God bless.
The pantry challenge sounds fun! I will jump in, in February! I look forward to seeing how your challenge goes this month. Thanks for sharing!
Yum. Love Pimento Cheese. I don't believe I've ever saw it made with cream cheese though. But maybe I'm mistaken.
Oh! Looks good! Great dip idea! Thank you! 😊👍❤️
I love pimento cheese
oh girl, you are not alone!
I love pimento cheese. I also live in N.C. pimento cheese is good on everything. Thank you for sharing.
Great job Amanda. You did a lot! The bread, honey, and applesauce looked amazing! We all feel the stress of this season. Praying all went well on your trip. Val C
I saw how common and popular Pimento cheese was in Florida. I am in the midwest and rarely had it. Yum
Hoping you and your family had a great Christmas 😊
