    Just a tip for the tortillas. If those are flour which I’m pretty sure they were. You do not use a tortilla press for flour tortillas. I see it being used incorrectly quite often. It’s only for corn tortillas. ❤️

      I used hard. I tried not to get too in the weeds with the flour conversation, as most will buy AP. Definitely could have used soft for the cake, but I ground a bunch at once and let it be. Normally I used 1/2 bread and 1/2 hard white for my pizza crust, but I’ve used a bunch of variations.

    When you use powdered buttermilk in the waffle mix, it’s 1 cup per recipe? Did I see that correctly? I want to make some of this. 😊

    • @thehometownhomestead
      @thehometownhomestead 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I did. The recipe calls for regular milk, but I use powdered buttermilk instead. It calls for 3 cups of milk, so I just used the cup to replace based on the directions on my powdered buttermilk package. I was initially mixing it up on the side instead of incorporating with the dry ingredients. This is also doable in any other recipe calling for milk. I LOVE powdered buttermilk because of its shelf life, since we don’t drink much regular milk at all.

    • @thehometownhomestead
      @thehometownhomestead 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You do lose some of the benefits of freshly milled. That said, if I had used AP, none of those benefits would have been there anyway. For the sake of comparing to what’s on the store shelf, you’re still way ahead to mill it in advance. One alternative would be to jar up the other ingredients, put them in a very small jar and write the amount of flour to add as one of the missing ingredients.

    Hey, new subscriber from Australia ☺️ i just wanted to say thank you for the video. I haven't compared homemade mixes to store brought pre mixes. Food here has sky-rocketed, so i have a feeling our savings would be higher again. On average, it costs $350+ per week to feed our family of 5. It's time for me to get back into food preservation & bulk buying and just make the time. I have had enough of the costs & disgusting ingredients. If you can even call them that. 😂 Thank you for the reminder. 🥰

    I have this unit, took me week to figure out there was an issue. The filter allows lint to plow by and blog the heat pump coils, cuaseing it to increase dry times and over heating. However, there is fix, a couple videos on TH-cam show the fix, add weather stripping to back, and bottom and top. I did this and now have never had any lint in the lower drain plug filter. Works great now, no issues. I was super frustrated until I figured this out.

      I know exactly the post you are referring to. I am using the silicone sealant around the filter. I also clean out the filter and area after EVERY use (and when using the new Pet hair feature, I clean the filter before the wash starts, to remove hair and dander from the filter). I've never had clumps of lint inside the filter chamber. My machine is 7 months old and I really love it. Fingers crossed that the machine will last - for both of us. Good luck!

    I have this combo, and love it but you have to take care of it (which you do a good job showing all of the things you need to do). You can't slack on it either. Did the electrical tape trick as well, which is definitely a fault on GE's part and they should definitely release a new revision of the filter tray. But if you do keep up on it, the machine is fantastic. It has saved plenty on my energy bill. I only wash a load once, it gets them clean and the drying process is much more gentile on my clothes.

      Ours ended up dying. 🥴 Hopefully yours lasts for you, because even cleaning very often lead to a critical compressor breakdown. Keep on it, and I hope they eventually get it right, because the idea is fantastic.

    I already do all the suggestions you are giving. Anything that will save me more money?

      1. Examine your cost per meal and cut out or limit the most expensive options. 2. Bulk meal prep to cut out on the need for emergency trip for fast food is also SUPER helpful. If you haven’t already, watch the upload I did on this recently, as well as the one vacuum sealing to extend shelf life.

    I have never seen that sealer but I do love the one I have. It is just called an electric mason jar vacuum sealer VPO5. Got it on Amazon for less than 30 dollars.There is no separate part. It comes apart to do the wide mouth. Great inexpensive investment!!!! It sits on my counter and is so convenient. No dragging out the big machine. It is an easy way to keep cookies, crackers, chips and cereals, etc fresh. Thanks for helping folks stretch their groceries to keep things fresh!!!

    What do you do after you finish LOE foundations? Do you continue with their essentials or do other curriculum?

      We just started free reading and doing Gather Round. I didn’t feel the need to do anything else.

    Make sure you DO NOT WASH the berries before putting them away. And you don’t even need to vacuum seal them, just put on a lid and they easily last two weeks. Just discovered this about 2 months ago. Would’ve saved me a ton of money over the years had I known back then! 🤗🤗🤗

      Mine don’t last the extra time without sealing, but perhaps that’s just a result of keeping all of the little fingers off of them! Thanks for watching, and sharing your experience! Hope to see you back soon!

    We don’t wash the berries right?

      I was wondering this too. I feel like the microbes already on the produce would contribute to spoilage - sort of like blanching green veggies to make them last longer because you’re killing everything that would eat it in the fridge

      What I’ve done is wait to wash. Unless they’re completely dry, the moisture in the jar can impact storage time.

    I just use a large beach towel under the bottom filter, soaks up the water and I just throw in the wash - I have a regular front load HE washer, not a all-in-one, and didn't realize that so many people didn't know they had to clean the filter in their washers (it's in the directions)! I do it about every 2-3 months but I also have large double coat dogs so it isn't something I can just ignore. I have even found a dime in it! When we had littles I always washed the little socks in a lingerie bag or a mesh laundry bag, they get just as clean but don't get stuck in the seal which I have had happen with regular front load washers too.

    • @thehometownhomestead

      Because this machine does wash and dry, the filter is critical. It won’t pump out water in the wash or dry cycles if it gets clogged. I cleaned mine monthly, and that wasn’t enough. But yes! It’s in the manual for sure. Reading the directions provides valuable info! Thanks for watching!

    You need a funnel to help get the flour and other stuff into your mason jars!

      I have one. I was just overly confident in my ability, since there are much larger openings than a traditional wide mouth. 😆 I’d definitely grab one next time.
