@@leandraainlove aww I’m so glad!! Thank you for your comment ☺️

It is from Sakura Bloom!

I feel you on that! At this point I’ve done my investing and no more shopping. Or I will start to defeat the purpose of saving on cloth diapers! Lol Making due with what we have. They are coming out with new stuff all the time but those good ol flats are a tried and true. Congrats on your third baby!! 🩷

Hi! I filmed the video but life got absolutely crazy and it won’t be uploaded any time soon. So I will send you to a video that’s like how I do it. Congratulations on your baby! 💕 I use the “snappi” things to secure. But you can also use pins. Link to video: th-cam.com/video/AwAcJaH4KPI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WlrpwlGYwHioQFgN

@@therooteddietitian Thank you so much for this- so helpful!! I hope you get some peace soon :)

That is amazing! Thanks for sharing the cost, so helpful for others to see how cheaply it can be done!! I wish I could crochet

I believe they are just referred to as “soup bones” but they look a lot like shank cuts which normally has one small piece of bone like this with some marrow

Great point and idea to add! I briefly looked into ordering some and then got really overwhelmed by options and reviews 🤣 can you share which brand has worked for you?

I live in Europe so I am not sure if you'll be able to get the ones I did but they are from avo+cado :) worked great for me. the 3 extenders have 3 different snap sizes so they fit on pretty much any brand :)@@therooteddietitian

I live in Europe, the brand I bought are from avo+cado. 3 different extenders with different snaps sizes so they fit on many different brands. :)@@therooteddietitian

Good to know your experience, thank you!

How sweet you are making your own covers! I love that!! I wish I could crochet. I had similar experiences with pockets too, those thick bulky inserts get so nasty over time. I’m so happy with my simple system! Thank you so much for that encouragement 🩷☺️

And also, congrats on your second baby! 🩷

That's so cool! Are you winging the covers or are you following a pattern? Would love to crochet some for baby two as well 😊

I've crocheted woolies for all 3 of my sons. So worth it! Way cheaper and you can tailor them to the baby. You are diapering your baby and making precious keep sakes. 💕

I will have to look into the Puppi ones!! Sounds amazing for a trim will option. Yes, rashes and we had issues with the microfiber pads stinking bad too. Yes a decent leg seal is a little tricky Compared to other options! Keep testing out folds and figuring out what works for you! I’ll try to make a video on how I like to fold soon. Thanks for adding your comment 🩷☺️

@@therooteddietitian Puppi makes a good product but disanas are all weather.

Thank you so much! I am glad it was helpful. I wouldn't say more challenging per say, just different challenges because of the situation! knocking solids off takes an extra step and urine starts to get a stronger smell. At this age you can use them in conjunction with potty training AND they aren't going to the bathroom constantly! Around two we started catching some poos in the potty which made diapering easier. When my toddler was older, we moved towards summo style folding. You may have to experiment with different folds to see what you like. As he got closer to being potty trained we used the thick underwear (they have a little bit of absorbancy in there) with a wool cover. Bc accidents happen of course! Then used basic underwear and a wool cover when occasional accidents were still happening. This way he was getting used to pulling things on and off himself.AND learning that peeing makes you wet. (i think feeling wet is harder with disposables) Toddlers start to use the bathroom less frequently than a baby-- so let's say you just want to try it out, I think getting a pack of 6 or even a dozen, and one wool cover to try it out with would give you a good idea. You may have to wash every day but this gives you a chance to see if you can make it work. Worst case- you hate it and you have some on hand for emergencies if you can't get disposables. Green Mountain diaper has great options! The thing with these flat diapers is... there's so many ways to use them, I feel like you can't go wrong with a minor upfront investment. You may have to add extra absorbancy or try a different style of folding or cover, but you have options. if you made the investment in a wool cover to try out and you don't like it for diapering, you could totally use it just as an extra barrier when you transition to underwear. Even cloth diapering part-time can cut costs. I hope that helps and takes some overwhelm out. And thanks for the kind comment. :)

It is not supposed to be. I'm sorry, I've been trying for three days to re-upload the complete video. Having difficulties. Trying again today

They get pretty mushy and soft. You may be able to, but normally after one batch I then make bone meal for my garden out of them. I have a video on how to do that :)

Hello they are more like jello. Difficult to get that chewy texture with just beef gelatin

Thank you!! Sorry I forgot to put the link. Here it is: therooteddietitian.com/shopwithstripe/ I only have physical copies available right now for ship in US!

Thank you!! We’ll see if I can stick it ♥️

If it was very warm they likely would, but not at room temperature

I love azure! I order every month from them ❤️

I forgot to ask this last night: is drinking the broth as is after it cools bad for your health? Does it contain too much bad fat? Every example I see involves cooling, refrigerating and then removing the fat which is, I think, unfortunate because it involves another step. As a dietician, your take on this is probably the healthiest way to go. Many thanks.

@@seizethedayandlivehi! I’m sorry I’m seeing your comment a year later. Here is my response: It would not be bad to drink it right away. We do that as well. Beef fat is a good mix of monounsaturated and saturated fats. And the fat can be a good source of vitamins if the animal was pasture raised. The reason that I skim it off is more for texture, all the fat can make a recipe taste and feel “oily”. And if I am going to can the broth, I really prefer that the fat is removed. 😊

@@therooteddietitian Thank you!

You are definitely not alone!! 🤣 it has been nonstop, really busy since summer canning started!’

Thanks so much for the encouragement!!

Not necessarily; the goal is to get them slightly browned and not cooked when roasting. I don’t think it would impact it much, other than taking more time to cook perhaps. I would avoid frozen solid bones tho! Then when you do the broth making process they will undergo complete cooking and therefore be safe for eating.

I have attempted beef bones with no success, they are just too large and dense for the equipment I have. I don’t think it would impact the process, I have always used about 1-2Tbs without issue.

I did not know that! That is great to know, thank you!!!

@@therooteddietitian Also, 1Tahitian vanilla bean = 2 Madagascar vanilla beans in strength. I found that out in Rose Levy Something's ice cream book. I am looking to replace Ben & Jerry's with homemade ice cream. It seems that everything in the world uses emulsifiers and I have recently been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. I know Strauss has ice cream without emulsifiers, but they are not DELICIOUS. If I can make my own bread, my own yogurt, my kefir...et cetera, I can make my own delicious ice cream. It's hard to find heavy cream that does not use emulsifiers but Alexandre Family Farms' does not.

@@charmingfrock101 such good info, thank you!! Emulsifiers are in so many items. I am glad you are finding items that work for you, I know it can be a challenge.

Hi thank you! I usually can’t do in store videos bc I normally have my little one with me and it gets to be too much. But I’ll keep it in mind! I am working on building up our water storage, water has been on my mind! Thanks again! ☺️

Thank you!! Yes try it, it’s so good! just steam Okra and tomatoes we season with paprika, sugar, salt, and pepper! 😍

So interesting to hear what season y’all are in!! Summer is winding down and we are really close to cooler temps. Yes! Absolutely start some tulsi! It is my favorite tea right now! ☺️ it went through the entire Texas summer 3 digit temps and drought. It seems to do well in the heat. I did water it every day tho!

@@therooteddietitian That's great to hear about the Tulsi,yes , it's hot here up to 49 degree Celsius,not sure what it is in Fahrenheit... But the good side is ,l can get ideas what to plant by watching garden from the northern hemisphere.Your okra looks really good too!

This is so encouraging! I will try it for next spring

@@therooteddietitian Start early. I tend to sow in January (zone 5b) for ripe tomatoes in July. Sometimes, I take a slice from a fresh tomato and put it on the soil in a pot and every seed sprouts. But I prefer seeds I saved from heritage tomatoes the year before. But tomatoes and peppers are the easiest seeds to get going.

@@GimmeADream ok thank you for the tips!! I will just give it a shot. Seed starting indoors has always intimidated me, but I have to start somewhere.

LOL 🤣 70% air chip bags got to love them

It’s been so lovey! I love it. I used it in some pesto and it was great flavor with that. Smart thinking I will probably go bigger next time too 😊

Yes they do seem to always be sold out. This reminds me to go check and see if I can get some white ones. Thanks for your comment and thanks for the reminder!

Hey! I got it from Costco a couple years ago. It’s the OXO brand. I really like it. It has rubber grips on the bottom. It’s been a really nice one!

Thanks for your comment! I’m so glad you’re here ☺️

Hey! Depending on what brand you get, sometimes you have to turn them upside to open them! The Aldi ones are like this- open it on the side that is larger even if it means opening it upside down. It’s a little wonky! But if I do that, I have no problems. Hope that helps 😊

And your garden looks amazing!

Oh I’ve heard of that! I need to keep some on hand just in case, I’ve never used it. The DE seems to work overall, they come back a little bit so I have to reapply often. I keep a 5 pound supply of DE- so many uses! Thank you for the comment and encouragement on my garden! 😊

Thank you!! I feel the same, I get proud of all my creations! It is a learning process - I added too much salt to one of my jars 🤣 Yes, He is good! ☺️
