    You are my heroin. It boggles my mind how much information you have inside of you. Scalloped potato mix? Who knew? Well, Renea knew. That's who. I never get bored watching you. I love your personality, your family, your kitchen, and your wealth of knowledge for all things homestead and beyond. When I watch your "chit-chats," I really do feel like I'm sitting right across the table from you. You are so very special. Have a great week.

    Good Morning! You know that old saying "Man plans. God laughs!" Always happy to see a cooking video, and happier that I don't have to wait 10 days. Blessings to you, friend!

    Hi Renea and Mr. Wayna. So nice to be back in your kitchen. I have noticed that you do something we seldom seen by many other TH-cam channel creators--you actually follow a recipe and measure out your ingredients--the way it should be! Especially for those watching who are just learning to cook/bake. Have a blessed day.

      Right? If you were a person who had never cooked and you watched some of these online cooks, you would play the guessing game and pour every ingredient into your palm ✋ let’s say your ingredient is Cayenne… the recipe might call for 1/8t. for a little kick. Since you are using your palm, you might end up with something closer to 1T. And you have just given your dish and guests an @$$ Whoopin!!! Lol so yes, I appreciate that Renea measures properly also!!

    The broth in the cups and freezing them and putting them in zip lock bags is a really good hack! ❤😊🙏

      Same here-this world is designed for tall people! My fun-sized self is seriously contemplating taking one of those folding step stools into the grocery store with me. Getting tired of gazing longingly at the top shelf items waiting for a six-footer with a kind face to wander into the aisle. 😂😂😂

    Good morning Renae!! Looking forward to this!!! I have tons of dehydrated potato slices I did over winter. You are wise to get your siding and windows now. We don’t know what will happen with all things retail going crazy. We have several projects we ordered materials for. It will be a busy summer for us too!!

    Good morning! That was Gladys Kravitz on Bewitched. I love that show!
    I have thought many times that you need some larger measuring cups & liked to see you used one today. I've always used my large ones for bread especially. I have several from 4 to 14 cups & would feel lost without them! I love watching Mr. Wayna taste things. When my Daddy tries something he always says it tastes more-ish, or it's awful & he better eat it all so no one else has to!

      Isn’t she a joy to watch? I love her, she’s so honest, down to earth, and not putting on airs or acting better than anyone else. She reminds me of my late mother (except Renea is substantially younger than my mom would be)-she effortlessly cooks like it’s nothing and is generous without even realizing how generous she actually is. Renea is almost therapeutic to me quite often, she’s just such a genuinely good person and a pleasure to watch her relaxed and welcoming personality.

      @LittleVillageHomestead  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It is the powdered milk that will go bad after about 8 months. So I always recommend keeping it in the pantry 6-8 months, however, you could store it in the freezer for a very long time.

    I would love a day in the kitchen with you. I wish I could get 25lbs of potato slices! for $99 on Amazon they give you 5lbs!
    I would prep in bulk like this without fail if I had access to these ingredients at your cost. I love watching you bulk prep! My challenge is doing salt-free. My thyroid fails if I take sodium in its a real problem. So I eat salt-free. I use toms of herbs and spices but no salt. Pre bought anything is a no go for me. I have to do scratch cooking only.
