Oatmeal & egg is an awesome base for so many meat substitute recipes. I list optional seasonings to make burgers, meatballs, chicken nuggets, fish sticks & ground beef using this same recipe on our website: www.keepingitriel.com/recipe-depression-era-meatless-sausage-patties/ I also have video recipes using the same base for Vegetarian Salami, Peperoni & Bologna / Hotdogs. - Salami: th-cam.com/video/bElV4vY5HZE/w-d-xo.html - Peperoni & Bologna / Hotdogs: th-cam.com/video/jvpiJvry31s/w-d-xo.html Thank you so much for watching!

It definitely sounds easier. I'll have to give it a try and see how strong it is. I'm sure the alcohol helps a bit 🤣 If we all share what works for us with the community, we all benefit, so thank you for sharing!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!!

The title is not misleading at all. It states that the recipe is vegetarian, which it is, Lacto Ovo to be precise. The egg makes it not Vegan friendly but I state this twice in the video. Once at 1:39 and again at 5:56 I have been Lacto Ovo vegetarian for 35+ years. We all have our individual reasons for not eating meat but mine does not include eggs or dairy. Thanks for your comment.

@@sheilafelton9957 I’m so glad you like the recipes. I try to use fairly common ingredients that most people have access to. Maybe I’ll do a vegetarian meatball / meatloaf video. Thanks for the video idea!

If you have severe latex allergies, we'd recommend avoiding it but you can also check with your doctor regarding this. The latex in wild lettuce is called Lactucarium. That may help with your research but from what I found on the web: "The “latex” in wild lettuce is not the same as the “latex” in gloves that is commonly associated with latex allergies. Latex allergy typically stems from an allergy to the proteins of the Hevea (rubber tree) plant (which are not present in wild lettuce) or chemicals used in the processing of Hevea latex." Thank you for watching!

I've never made cream cheese from straight store bought yogurt but it should work. In our area, yogurt at the store is so expensive it isn't cost effective for us to try that. Also, you wouldn't have to heat it as it's already in a yogurt form as opposed to starting with milk and adding a seed of yogurt to it. The reason the milk is brought up to 180 degrees is to kill any bacteria in the milk that would fight with the cultures we then add in once it cools back to 110 degrees. If you give this a try, please let us know how it works out!

@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve I only worked like a yr and a half since 2020... So i improvise with whatever i get from food bank. I took a container of vanilla greek yogourt that they gave me .. Tied it in a t-shirt and left it for 12 hrs or so in the tied t-shirt and it made a cream cheese like ball which is excellent with jam on toast for breakfast or desert. The cream cheese is slightly sweet with a smell and tast of vanilla. If you ever get the marked down in price expired greek yogourt (my yogourt was sealed and expired since november 2024 and i made the cheese end of january 2025.. Try it. Its amazing.

@ Awesome! Good to know and thank you for sharing.

Yes a clean t-shirt should work! I normally use a muslin or cheese cloth but have used tea towels in the past making farmer's cheese. Thank you for the question!!

@@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve Thank you for sharing your kniwledge and quick responses . i did it with the t-shirt. It was perfect.

@ Sharing helps our whole community. Thank you!

Yes you can! The end result is going to be made into a powder so will combine your yolk and white; but if you're looking to have egg whites and egg yolks separated, you can separate the yolk and white prior to freeze drying and pour them onto separate trays. Once they are freeze dried, they will also be powdered for storage. There are a few specials in coming in February 2025 for freeze driers through Harvest Right- here is our affiliate link affiliates.harvestright.com/1167.html Stay tuned for more info that we will include in upcoming videos. Thank you for watching!!

@@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve thank you so much.

If your end product is still a Greek yogurt consistency, you may need to press it longer to remove more whey. Good luck and thanks for watching!

@@marcoramirez709 I just made a batch last week and added a teaspoon of smoked paprika. It was awesome!

@@tiffanylamb1187 the chickens love it! We sprinkle it in with their calcium supplement and the pepper is always gone first 😁 Thank you for watching!

I talk about dosage at 22:55 - A typical liquid dose for me is 1 tsp. but I would recommend a starting dosing of ¼ tsp. once to twice daily, adjusting based on potency and the tolerance of the individual. The dropper I used in the video is a ¼ tsp. dropper. This medicine can be potent for some and weak for others. Use at your own risk.

@@joewhitfield5561 Do you want more closeups? I can try to have more in future videos.

You're welcome!

I always wanted to make a larger one with a paint can. I'm going to have to try now. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your question; the pine tip is the new growth on the tips of the branches every spring. It is a brighter green color and has not yet opened into the full needle. You can see how I collect these in this related video th-cam.com/video/LEw0mnmIGXw/w-d-xo.html You do get pretty sticky collecting them but it is worth it!

@@havokvladimirovichstalinov I’m glad I was able to bring back a fond memory. I used to love making stoves and other kit when I was young. The reality was my family couldn’t afford to buy camping gear but I never realized it or cared. I think I appreciated it more knowing I had to make it myself. Thank you for sharing!

It grows prolifically all around the world. Keep looking, you should be able to find it. Here is a link that explains more about the plant on our website. It might help: www.keepingitriel.com/foraging-wild-lettuce/ Thanks for watching!

I have a 4.5 cubic foot high efficiency washing machine and I use 1/4 cup of the final diluted mix. I've been using this for years and it does a great job. I do add bleach for whites as I would do with any other detergent and you can also use a fabric softener if you feel it's necessary based on your water or preference. I hope this helps and thank you for your question!

@@AndreaDaughterofMostHigh The extraction took about 2 hours and the evaporation took about me 5 hours in the crockpot. If you condense it down on the stove, it can take a lot less time but you need to be sure not to rush it by using too much heat and burning it.

That’s a difficult question to answer as there are so many different kinds of pain. For me, it works well for sore muscles but didn’t work that good for a really bad tooth ache. I don’t believe it kills pain as well as some opioids but… It’s not addictive and has no life-threatening side effects that I’m aware of. As far as potency, there are so many variables that I tell most people to compared it to about 1000mg of Tylenol or 500mg of Naproxen because most batches, if not done at the right time or done the right way, will not meet their full potential.

It is yummy and easy to mix up when I'm getting low on ketchup. Thank you for watching!

I hope this information helps and you can provide your mother with some relief. Thank you for watching!

@@saibabu4842 Thank you for watching!

@@sethdouglas2765 I’m unfamiliar with Kratom and its medicinal effects. I believe it’s tropical and found in Southern Asia.

@@denofearthundertheeverlast5138 That’s good information. I’m sure I’m not the only one who didn’t know how to use the simmer ring. Thank you for sharing!

@@ImaOkie Thank you for sharing! I made a similar stove to the one you described but I cut the top off at the upper lip and added fiberglass between the can and that strip making it just like a Trangia. I’m glad there are still stove builders out there with so many options to purchase. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve bought stoves but think sharing the how to’s are still important. Thank you for watching!

There always seems like a million green tomatoes at the end of the year here! If you haven't tried making Green Tomato Bread, check out our video, it tastes similar to Zucchini bread! th-cam.com/video/wCSVo0OH2eM/w-d-xo.html Thanks for your comment!!

You're welcome! I love making all kinds of stoves from things we have on hand. Thanks for watching!!

@@DianneCraig-q1e absolutely and it’s truly easy to make. Thank you for taking time to leave a comment and for watching!

@@pineapple365 yes, some methods of preservation do use citric acid. We love the our Harvest Right for many of our food storage items especially if we’re looking for 25 year, long term storage. I prefer it with my herbs as it retains more of the nutrients.

@@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteveoh sorry this comment was meant for a different vid lol I don’t know how it got here 🤭

Thank you for sharing your story, it's awesome. That story would be great to be documented and handed down along with the knife so generations to come can appreciate the history as we loose so much over time. Marilyn's Dad was in WWII and was also a scout leader for years locally and she has the same appreciation to carrying the items and memories along to future generations. Again, thank you so much for sharing it truly means a lot to us!

@@beebop9808 That solar shed sounds awesome! I’d love to get enough solar on our shed to run a mini split. That would be great. And yes, definitely love those fly larvae. Do you serve them up fresh or dried? I used to raise mealworms and gave them fresh and wiggly to the girls.

I built the shed with intention of raising the bugs year round and next thing I know it grew into hooking the house up and getting rid of the power company. Nothing is ever enough seems like. lol And yeah, the birds go nuts over those squirmy bugs. Actually even if they catch me walking toward the bin they are on my heels. lol They are a whole lot easier to raise than meal worms. Just need plenty of food cuz they can pack away some vittles.

@ thanks for all the great information! We would like to go off grid but that’s still a way off for us! Have fun with the chickens and keep hitting those goals!!!

@@L.Mitchell-tn4bh Definitely! I save my waste oil from vehicle oil changes and from family. Free fuel burned in a stove made from “junk”. It doesn’t get more free than that. And it puts out a massive amount of heat.

@@Pakis_Tani thank you, best wishes to you as well and thanks for watching!

@@ax8038 You seem to be very passionate about letting me know that vegetarian foods don’t contain meat. Thanks for that. The thing you said about me “miss eat meat” is true. I do miss eating meat. Unfortunately I don’t trust the meat that’s sold commercially where I live. It’s filled with steroids, hormones and a slurry of other chemicals that I didn’t order. And so, until our local farmers can sell “clean”, natural meats that don’t have to be approved by the F.D.A. I’ll continue to make my meat substitutes with ingredients that I know are healthy and I will share them with anyone that can find them helpful. Thanks for watching!

@@leemysliwiec2803 That sounds good! I’ll bet the nutty taste works well with this. Let us know how it turns out.

@@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve One of the things that can fool a meat eater with a vegetarian is ground walnuts. I know because I was fooled by Vegan Meatballs once... The walnuts give just that little crunch that meat has and many veggie ingredients don't have... I'll probably add a few crimine mushrooms also..

@@leemysliwiec2803 Mushrooms are always a good addition if you have them on hand. Most mushrooms have a beefy flavor and a good texture.

Definately. Vinegar also works.

@@TheJDiane Exactly! That was one of the reasons we invested in our freeze dryer. We wanted long term food preservation but wanted control over the ingredients. Thank you for sharing!

And they smell too. Doing it yourself doesn't smell.

@@katherinegeorge2400 Exactly! I know the eggs I freeze dry are fresh and there are no other ingredients… just eggs.

@@sheilafelton9957 I’ll definitely be following up with a “bologna” and “pepperoni” video soon. I’ll also update the “salami” recipe on the website to be a “deli meat” recipe listing the different seasonings. The funny thing about my bologna recipe is that it started off as a hotdog recipe. Very close cousins they are, just different sizes and cooked / served differently. Haha Thank you for commenting Sheila!

Just a heads-up, I just published a video showing how I make vegetarian “bologna / hotdogs” and “pepperoni”. Here’s the link: th-cam.com/video/jvpiJvry31s/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!

I made a washed flour seitan pepperoni video here: th-cam.com/video/XaVv98QUmdA/w-d-xo.html but this quick oat recipe is much easier, so I'll be sure to follow up with a pepperoni video soon. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

@@denisehoward9276 cool! It’s really neat when someone local pops up! We lost WiFi- line snapped at the pole. So no working on the computer today but plenty of snow to shovel 😁

Super! It's a great option to take advantage of narrow spaces where you can't put a regular shelf. I'm glad my directions worked well, we love ours. Thank you for sharing and for watching!!

15 gallons of sap would cook down to about 3.2 oz. We have to collect about 40 gallons of sap durring our maple season to get 1 gallon of syrup. We use a 40:1 ratio. A lot of work but worth it!
