Here's how to make self rising flour.
1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Thank you, I was wondering how to turn all purpose flour into self rising flour.
I have never mastered the art of the southern biscuit…usually greasy and not fluffy…and I’m good at baking, can make a mean pie crust, etc…maybe it’s just not growing up the in South, lol. If you don’t have self-rising flour, add 1 ½ tsp of baking powder and ½ tsp salt per 8oz (1 cup) of all purpose flour. Also, if you have plain vinegar, you can use that to turn regular milk into buttermilk (cause whenever I buy it, most of it winds up going bad before I use it)…do an internet search for the ratios/time (it doesn’t take much time.) I also save the grease from good meat and keep in in the freezer. My husband saves the bacon grease, but I don’t use it as much as chicken fat because it has a definite bacon taste that I don’t necessarily want to add to what I’m cooking…and I love bacon!! Mr. Molly cooks up a ton of bacon and stores in it the fridge, it lasts a week to 10 days with no issues…(I can’t say just how long it lasts, 10 days is the longest it’s lasted!!!) Bacon is something you don’t have to have a LOT of to give something a lot of flavor…mac and cheese with bacon crumbled in, crumbled on salads, multiple soups with bacon crumbles, ‘loaded baked potatoes’ in soup, normal, mashed form, bacon and egg sandwiches, BLTs…I’m starting to sound like Bubba from Forest Gump, lol. If anyone is new to cast iron, it holds heat like no tomorrow, and makes things taste so good…but keep that heat low, or you will burn everything up (and also look up how to clean your cast iron, NEVER put it in the dishwasher.) Edited to add: (although I’m seeing this way late, but we are drowning in zucchini in our garden at this time of year, so…) Cube up zucchini and use in a stir fry with onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, you can add some meat and serve over rice (or no meat.) Zucchini cut into strips about the size of a steak fry, put in egg batter, then bread crumbs…deep fry, put parmesan on, then dip in marinara sauce (with or without meat.) There’s also a chocolate cake recipe from back in the day (I don’t have it) that uses shredded zucchini in it to make it so moist and delicious!!! The zucchini dissolves and you don’t see or taste anything but an amazing chocolate cake (the kind in a Bundt pan…no idea where to find that, but I’m going to hunt for it again!)
i too save the baking grease as I use it to cook with as well. i also save the drippings from any meat I cook and i will use it for cooking as well. As a tip if you are cutting biscuits using a biscuit cutter, do not twist as it will seal the edges and then your biscuit won't rise.
@@MamaToAll_Homestead Thank you! I probably twist the cutter…I do know to leave that dough be and not mess with it much…I didn’t think about twisting. I also used real butter the last time I tried (and failed) and should have just used Crisco like my mother taught me. My husband is from the south and he says to use lard, and I’m fine with doing that…I just forget to get it (it’s way cheaper than Crisco and neither of us have cholesterol problems so I’m not worried about it.) Thanks for the tip!!! I had no idea!!! I’m good with a lot of bread baking and pie crust…but a fail at biscuits. I shall try that!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for helping me. This is great and easy for a mom of 5 that trying to learn how to cook. I am broke and hungry with many boys to feed. Your channel after viewing so many have helped me. Hope to see more great ideas!
I hope to be able to give you more ideas. Welcome to my channel.
Pancake mix (or your own pancake recipe), add shredded zucchini, green onions and shredded cheese. Great savory pancakes. Serve with either sour cream or applesauce.
I am going to have to try this, it sounds like it would be amazing
Same items (minus the cheese) and with a soy/ginger add will create (using a thin, more crêpe like batter) Korean pancakes…also savory and absolutely delicious!!!!
"I'll just put a touch in there."
...proceeds to pour the whole pan of grease in. 🤣
Instant follow cause that's exactly how it's done! 🥰
you know it!!! 🥰
Yes we always had bacon grease gravy and biscuits because our neighbor gifted us their drippings they had 2lbs. Of bacon every day. For mom too trade of sewed items. And yes had wild meats smothered squirrels or rabbits,mashed potatoes home grown and home grown green beans or corn . Because we were a family of 9. They if by chance others popped in mother would stretch the gravy and boil more potatoes and add and extra quart of green beans. Out of her 9 sisters and one brother he would join dad and hunt the game . And other times we would eat at aunt Hester' s house Chile or chicken & noodles with us girls helping roll out and cut the noodles. And she used 5 gallon pots. And a big pickle jar full of ice tea. Those were the good old days were you could visit and play games outside.
I learned the hard way if you don't want your eggs to stick in your cast iron make sure it's really really hot before you put them in💚👍🏽💯
Thank you ❤️
It should be hot enough to "surprise" the eggs when they go in.
I just stopped using cast iron to cook eggs, even tho it was so good in the bacon grease…just a mess to clean up. (Fried eggs aren’t a problem, scrambled is a different story for me…but, thanks for the advice above!! I may try it again…)
That’s really a blessing to be able to receive all that wonderful food! I’m sure none will go to waste!!
You are correct.. I live by a simple saying in my life “waste not, want not” thank you
I’m excited to try your biscuit recipe! My goodness you got a lot of great food ! It was fun seeing everything you you got :) thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you and yes I would say we received an absolute abundance of great things. You should most definitely try the biscuits they are so easy to make and super delicious my family loves them and it’s the inky way I make them any more.
Love your calm demeanor. Love your cooking style. No stupid music playing. Great video!! Thank you. New sub here. ❤❤
For the beef brisket -if you have a slow cooker/crock pot, put it in the crock pot when the meat is thawed and pour over one to two bottles of your favourite barbeque sauce. If y'all like onions - cut some onion and throw it into the pot as well. Cook for 6 hours or longer. It will shred nicely. If y'all don't like barbeque a couple of cans of cream of mushroom soup with cut up onions and sauteed mushrooms will be nice too.
Works well with regular broth, some onions, garlic and soy sauce (soy sauce doesn’t make it taste Asian.) But, if you want it to taste Asian, a soy/ginger/sesame or Teriyaki (if you like sweeter) is a great thing to slow cook it in as well!
You can also add baby food to pasta sauces to increase the nutritional value and flavour of the meal.
Woman you should try cooking bacon on a sheet pan in the oven. 15 to 18 minutes at 350. So much easier and it doesn't curl up like in the frying pan.
Thank you for that tip…. I will definitely have to try that.
And you don't have the smell of bacon all throughout the house. It really is a life saver. I know cooking in cast iron is good for you, but I'm sure you cook plenty of other things in them. I love my cast iron too.
I live in Minnesota in the twin cities and go to the food shelf twice a month this allows me to get free staple good spices, oil, rice, canned goods ketchup house hold goods. I have a large family we are a 1 paycheck household and this is 1 of my " tricks of the trade to get by monthly " I have always been frugual and try to pinch/stretch a dollar been doing it for 22 yrs and counting ever since i started having kids of my own pretty much lol HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERY1
Thank you hun if enough people start to share their stories then maybe it will help break the stigma of food banks. It definitely provides for our family where we struggle to provide. There is no way that I would be able to afford all of the produce that I receive from them.
Make cheesy twice baked potatoes soup. I try diced bacon bits in the bottom of my pan and 2 diced onions then add diced potatoes just too brown them lightly then add just enough water too cover cook till tender . Then 15 minutes before they are done make a butter rue add cream or milk then add cheese and stir with a whisk till smooth then slowly add the the potatoes stir constantly with your wooden straight bottom scrap till thick and not sticking. But for best flavor of all season your stock pot on the open fire outside. Yes it does make a huge difference in the flavor. My husband's friends at work said my potato soup was better then the beef house restaurants soup. And loved my homemade chicken salad and chicken and noodles and porkloin roast with potatoes carrots and onions. They were good soul and took up a collection for each meal.
Thank you, Just now seeing this and can I say that sounds absolutely amazing.... just got done writing all that down!!!!
My mom made the best biscuits and gravy. She made her gravy with flour, pet evaporated milk and water. She also made ham biscuits w/red eye gravy....so good! Your food looks amazing!
All looks great! Thanks again
You got some great stuff! The biscuits looked soooo good. Definitely want to try those 😊
Thank you and yes it was some great stuff. ❤
Girl that is a heck of a haul. We volunteer at the local mission. It would be a joy to help you. Thrilled to see you use the food you get. We deal with a bunch of folks who do not cook. Saddens me to think so much food goes to waste. I am always looking at the food folks get and thinking what I would make with it. Zucchini bread is yummy. I shred it and freeze it. You can throw it in anything from cookies to meatloaf. Going to make your biscuit recipe. Blessings Jan
Thank you so much. Yes I’ve heard so people at the food banks complain that it was a lot of produce and that wasn’t any help to them. I love my produce. I can and will make anything I receive be of use to my family. If I get something that I know we will not use in time or have way to much of I pass it along to others to use. ❤thank you again
I'm also excited to try your biscuit recipe. You had a wonderful haul.😃🙋🏾♀️
Thank you and yes it was a fantastic haul. Also the biscuit recipe is the easiest recipe I have ever tried for biscuits and they are absolutely delicious
I would make zucchini bread and muffins. Freeze some for later. Could also be cooked up with garlic, onions and a little butter. Zoodles are a fun change to pasta. Fritters are good. Zucchini boats with ground beef,spices and cheese.
Thank you for all of those great ideas!!! I forgot all about zucchini bread!!!! This is exactly why I love all of my followers!!!
You can also slice the zucchini thin and then dredge in an egg and milk wash then in seasoned flour, fry them up like green fried tomatoes and use a ranch dipping sauce to munch on OR use them as a replacement for tomatoes on BLT sandwiches
I season brisket like a roast and cook it low and slow . So I put lawreys , pepper, onion powder , garlic powder and half a envelope of Au Jus . You can replace that with beef bouillon . Add beef broth or water about halfway up side of brisket . I bake it in a covered Dutch oven or roaster pan or cake pan covered with foil . Oven set on 325 to 350 for several hours . Bake until it’s tender . Yummy !! Granny would add sliced zucchini to fried potatoes sometimes!!! When your potatoes are almost done add the zucchini. It cooks really quick so that’s why you wait . There’s a couple ideas for you !! 😁 God Bless
That sounds great!! Thank you I think I will try that. I would have never thought to add zucchini to fried potatoes. I will also have to try that. Thank you so I h for taking the time to give some ideas.
@@MamaToAll_Homestead welcome. I am a wife , momma and granny now . While the kids were growing up we had really tough times . So I learned from momma and granny how to make something out of nothing. Also I was so happy to see you save bacon grease !!! That is liquid gold to us country people!! 😂
Yes I have a Mexican dish recipes for zucchini Cut tomatoes and cut some onions Fry the onions and tomatoes together and add the zucchini and if you like a cheese any kind of cheese of your choice
Thank you, i will have to try that I do love zucchini!!!
I find that organic milk does not seem to go off withing a week after the best by or use by date.
Hello my friend
❤you can make zucchini relish or zucchini marmalade and marmalade with the grapefruit and lemons
Check out Mama Bairds Homestead, she does food pantry hauls and is an amazing cook! I know she’ll have a fabulous idea for the Brisket
She is the reason I started my channel and she is the reason I attended my first food bank. I hope to be as encouraging ad her
Can you tell me the colour on your cupboards
I save bacon grease but I put the little bacon bits in the jar. More flavor.
Cool you cook like i do exactly how my mom taught me
Is it plain Greek yogurt for the biscuits? Equal parts with self rising flour correct?
Yes I've used regular plain unsweetened yogurt though and comes out fine
You're using it to replace the acidic buttermilk
Really enjoyed this video 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!❤
Hi new subscriber here from Virginia
You can add the leavener if using ap flour
Lovely kitchen!
Thank you, it’s my favorite room in our house. I spend so much time in here.
I shred zucchini and add to my pasta while cooking...you can make Mac and cheese or spaghetti . If you have a pickie eater just peel before you do. It adds a vegetable that you cant taste lol🙂🙂🙂🙂
Oh wow, thank you so much for that tip. I do have a picky eater so I’m going to have to try this. I already add puréed carrots to my pasta sauce and she has no idea. Now I’m going to try your suggestion
If you can look up pineapple zucchini and take the out side off and inside's bout and cut into pineapple size chunks and after it's been setting for a month or two make pineapple zucchini candy by dehydrating it and after it's dry but flexible place into a bag of one tablespoon of powdered sugar and one tablespoon of corn starch shake and place into a jar you will be making candy alot.
Congratulations on starting up your channel. Love food pantry hauls definitely need to try those biscuits. What state do you live in I live in Tennessee wondering if your in my area. How many children do you have I have 2 boys and a girl all in high school. Well congrats again I am enjoying your content thank you for all you do.
Hey love I am in NC and I have two girls one high school and one in middle school. Thank you so much for your kind words and please if you haven’t already subscribe to my channel. I will post both of my weekly food bank hauls and more videos with what I do with the items I receive
sw Tennessee here..
@@MamaToAll_Homestead I'm in eastern NC and just discovered your channel! I will definitely be following your journey. Best wishes! 🌞
Aren’t food banks for people who are hungry and don’t have the means to get groceries? Not being mean, or snarky, maybe I’m wrong and food banks are not what I thought they were.
@@beinghope5705 food banks are there for those that are struggling to afford groceries. Typically if you go you will see the middle class. People like myself who does not qualify for food stamps or any other government assistance however after paying bills I’m left with very little and struggle to put the groceries in the house. I actually respect your comment as you were not rude at all yet curious and that’s perfectly ok. I was struggling so bad until I found another person on TH-cam that attends food banks and like me had a a nice house and an income yet she was struggling as well and her showing that is ok to attend food banks is what gave me the courage to go to them myself.
I might have missed the instructions to the biscuits. Was it Greek
yogurt or plain? How much yogurt and flour?
It is Greek yogurt and equal parts yogurt to self rising flour
Wow you definitely got alot of food? Where is this place. Plus really good iteams? I've gone to food banks before and never gotten this great load?? Can you please let me know where if you can? I don't go to food banks any longer, which I do qualify. But it looked like we weren't getting what was getting donated to people?? These food banks look like they really help out for people in need. Thanks for sharing hopefully I get to hear from you soon, as I would love to attend the food banks were you go??. Thank you 😊
I’m not sure where you are located but I’m in NC and we have this one called With Love from Jesus where you can actually shop yourself and pick out what you and your family needs/can use. I also attend a monthly drive through food bank at a local church that you actually purchase an entire grocery cart for $5 donation however if you can’t afford the 5 they will still give you the food. And then on Wednesday I attend a local food bank at recruiters for christs. So I go to 2 food banks weekly wed and sat. And then once a month I attend a monthly one.
Good day thank you on replying back and letting me know. I truly appreciate the information, once I seen your video I got the best information I can ever get including on preparing breakfast 🤗 I didn't know that you can use Greek yogurt for biscuits 🙂thank you. 💯🥰. I live in Phoenix Arizona, but I'm from California born and raised I had to move here to be closer to daughter as I've been a single mother all my life. I'm very grateful to Jesus christ for all the blessings 🙌 and putting people in my path to find out what can be helpful for me. I was amazed on all you got from food banks, because the ones I've attend before were not as great as the ones you go to. All the meat wow that's great. I don't go to food banks any longer. I do qualify and how prices going up I should need the help again. Inflation has hit hard on the ones that are low income unfortunately. It's OK God prevails 🙏. I just wanted to congratulate you on your video thank you for your kindness and helpfulness you show on your channel. Best wishes ❤️ once again super thanks 😊 🙏
Yes inflation isn’t a joke at all right now, unfortunately my husband and I do not qualify for food stamps and after paying all the bills it was getting harder and harder to buy groceries for our family and I told him that after coming across several other you tube channels that attend food banks I was going to start attending a few for banks to help us out and it has been a tremendous blessing. I no longer worry about having food in the house.
I can deeply relate 😀 never forget to pray to God first. Thank you so much for your reply and once again thank you for the info as I don't have much friends or family that can advise me. Good night 🤗😁🥰
A lot of places here give more to those on Medicare Medicaid and stamps/EBT than those not on those programs 😊
Make zucchini bread and freeze it for later! (Muffins as well!)
Good banks are better than getting food stamps at you know the kids are getting fed and stamps aren’t being traded or sold and children are hungry

Just now seeing this and yes you are correct, At least those at the food banks are there to receive food to feed their families, you can't say the same for those that receive food stamps as I know of several that will sell theirs and then complain that they don't have any food, yet when I offer to take them to the food banks with me they decline the offer.
Wow,where we live is just a small pantry and hardly get maybe 2 grocery bags of food.
I’m sorry, I have to actually travel every weekend to the one I attend on Saturday. It’s not a far travel but I live in a small country town and travel to the city to attend. They are very generous around here. Yesterday as I was leaving one I had the man running it stop me and ask me if I was sure I got enough and did I make sure to get some stuff to share with others. I had to reassure him that yes sir I got plenty ( 6 bags plenty) plus we received lots of clothes at that one to. It’s definitely a blessing.
Zucchini baked in the oven, then put parmesan cheese on top and put under broiler for a few minutes
That sounds delicious
You have a gorgeous kitchen .. And yoh need to go to a food bank ? Wow !!
Wow, judgemental much???? Did you ever think they had the nice kitchen before they hit hard times? Think before you speak.
Just now seeing this comment. Thank you, and you are most certainly correct, we've had and made this kitchen prior to hitting hard times.
Zucchini cabbage pancakes 😊
Pull pork babcue pork
I just made this with a rotisserie chicken and I mis with can so stretched. But this a good one for zucchini and kids loved too. th-cam.com/video/YhiwgBIlOfs/w-d-xo.html
Lots salt
Is there a particular reason you think it's ok to get so many free things? If l was in a position where l needed the generosity of others, l certainly wouldn't brag about it on TH-cam. Sad.
Be nice. To each their own. This is how she gets by. Did u even watch her video?
Is there a particular reason you think it is ok to judge what her household needs and feel the need to leave your snarky comment using you tube.....
That is what is sad. If you do not like it move on no one is forcing you to watch anything here.
Hey thank you for showing others that no matter what there will always be ugly in this world and I’m going to show them that unlike you I will not let ugly stop me. First off you have no right to judge. Am I bragging? No I’m not i am trying to show others that food banks are out there to help us out and to not be ashamed to go to them. We all need a helping hand at some point in our life and it was actually another TH-cam channel that shares what they receive at food banks that gave me the courage to attend a food bank. This is all about breaking the stigma of food banks… by me sharing what I have received at my local food bank it shows others that you will actually receive some very useful items and then I like to share how I use these items in meals. So I hope that you will take the time to look in the mirror and look deep within yourself and evaluate yourself. The only person you should be judging is yourself. I hope you have a blessed day
@@MamaToAll_Homestead Good Girl! There is absolutely no shame in using any legal means necessary to put food on the table for your family. We have the stigma all wrong in this country, the stigma should be on those who either won't go and let themselves or their family members go hungry or spend money on other unnecessary things instead of using their money to feed their families. Those are the ones who should feel the sting of stigma.
I would add another type of person to that list of people who should feel stigma regarding food banks and it is those who hid behind a phone or computer and criticize a hard working mom for doing what she needs to in this inflation driven economy......that is also where the stigma belongs.
Hope you have a great day and feel encouraged by the rest of us that you are doing great, mama😉
@@tuxphinsmom1150 thank you for your kind words. It is those like you that give me the confidence to continue to share and post my videos. I hope you have a great and blessed day as well. Much love from my family to yours 💜😊
