You are my hero! Everything in your show today was amazing. That’s my new goal in life. Healthy eating in an efficient manner thank you so much for sharing
Felicia, I just placed an order for hard red and hard white, 15 lbs. each, on your recommendation. Yes, pricier, but I appreciate that they grow their own and to me, that’s worth it. Need to support our precious farmers.
Ok I’ve watched you work and I’m so tired!!!! 😂. I’ve cooked all day and had several things going at one time. But😂 I’ve never seen anyone cook so many different things at one time. You are the Queen!!!👸
I love the bare basics of cooking and canning. When my sister had her baby, I canned a bunch of to-go meals for her since she was a first-time mom and still working full time. I made 3 1-pint cases of different beef and chicken soups and stews. She loved them and came in real handy since the poor little guy had collic.
Hi there, I like your vids and I’m discovering a lot about mills/grains. I’m sorry that you don’t like the Kitchenaid mixer and you don’t recommend it for breads. I’m hv (3) KA mixers and one is an older heavy-duty K5SS that I wouldn’t trade for the world. I love all things metal vs. plastic and KA has a mixer that has a horsepower motor that could handle fresh grains. I hv reservations about the Bosch…the housing is plastic and the motor is 500 watts and not 800 watts like initially advertised. But, it’s a personal preference. However, keep making your informative vids and take care hun! ❤
I have the same kitchenaid I got it from a school cafeteria that was being remodeled and it’s amazing, however it is not the best for kneading 3 loaves of bread. Window pane test take twice as long and it requires two proofing when using it. I took Felicia’s advice and got the Bosch which allows perfect window pane and straight to rising in the pan so that’s a game changer for me. I utilize the grind attachment and pasta roller on my kitchenaid for grinding my corn for cornmeal and it’s fabulous, but for bread not as proficient.
@@anncrabtree3935 I agree that it might can’t handle multiple loaves of bread, but KA does hv models that will. She doesn’t recommend buying a KA mixer…it’s a great brand and product that STILL has a metal housing. I’m glad you’re enjoying your BOSCH…for me a KA with a heavier motor or the Ankarsrum would be my choice for making multiple loaves of bread. Hv a great day! ❤
I have a 7 qt kitchenaid and so far it’s handling hard red wheat and rye like a champ…. No more than 10 hoppers full at a time, then give it a breather… as for kneading the dough, it seems very comfortable doing its job!❤
Yes, would love more canning, but so enjoyed watching you do all the things!! You amaze me!! Shared your video to my daughter in law, who loves making all the things from scratch for her family!! ❤❤❤
I’ve always used a screen when I make yogurt to get rid of a lot of the whey. But your yogurt seems like it’s a good consistency, even though you did do that.
Wonderful video thank you for all the great ideas. Georgia can only grow soft wheat. We do have red and white soft wheat. That's all our humid climate can grow.
Much respect for your ambition. Hope your family appreciates you, sure they do. I am going to try the rolls. Started canning a little now that I am retired . Started with an 8 point buck I was blessed with last November. Also had a huge sale on chicken breast and canned a bunch of that. The chicken seems a bit dry though, any suggestions? A canning video now and then would be good . Any main course grain dishes too.. See ya next week
Yes my family especially appreciates all the food lol Thank you! As far as chicken breast, I have only canned chicken breasts that we have raised. I find they are just so moist and tender, I've never had a problem with them being dried. I would think the quality of a chicken may be a factor. I also can them for 1 hour and 30 minutes for quarts after it has come to pressure. But SCORE on the buck!!! That is wonderful! Canning deer makes it so tender. Thanks for the idea about entire meals with grains! I will have to work on that for sure :-)
@@GrainsandGrit I bet it is the chicken quality. When I was a kid and we wanted a chicken dinner, Ma would send somebody out to catch a chicken. It was always good. I remember Gramma finding eggs in one of the chickens and using them in the noodles.
Hi I just made the hamburger buns recipe you do and when I went to brush egg white in buns they fell like deflating a ballon !! What should I do wait for it rise again ? Will it rise again ? I’m pretty new to this.
I know that's what Jill Winger says to do and after a quick Google search, a lot of people say 160 degrees is fine for at home. I don't want to REALLY pasteurize my milk, just enough to help with yogurt.
My mom and I have been pressure canning dry beans for a while! It’s a favorite “fast food” to have on the shelf. Why do you pre cook your beans? We always just place our dried beans into the jars and top with water and pressure can them. They already get so tender I can’t imagine pre cooking.
I have a video where I canned dried beans. That is not an approved canning method sooooo in this video I showed an approved method. I haven’t had issues with canning dried beans, but just showing another method in this video 😀
Hey Felicia. This was a fun video. I got up early this morning to can my chicken stock and hung out with you while doing all the things this morning as well, lol. I have a thing I do: all our meat birds are in the freezer, so most often, I don't have time to thaw that bird! I throw that baby in my biggest stock pot, cover with water, and in a couple hours, I've got my chicken meat cooked. I know it's not the most gelatinous broth, but it tastes great. sometimes I throw the bones back into the pot and simmer till the next morning, but lately I just don't have it in me, I guess. I've got chicken ready to go for when I make salad, enchiladas/chimichangas, or whatever. Sometimes I don't want to wait to thaw that bird! Lol. Anyway, I'm glad to hang with you in my kitchen this morning.
lol yes!!! I don’t wear pants. So it’s always dress or skirts. And I’m always barefoot! Way too hot in Florida to wear shoes. I am the quintessential “barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen” wife 😂 But I’m not pregnant now. Just with all the kids I have it feels like I’m always pregnant lol
The porch look fabulous that your hubs built, that will come in handy. You can use part of that for an outdoor kitchen and do your canning there. I’m exhausted just watching all that you accomplished and take care of the family needs too…. 🫣😱👀 You look cool as a cucumber salad around all that baking… And the stress of filmmaking too… I’d be a drenched mess. I do like these general cooking videos, I’m gonna have to get a flaker. I’m getting the 9 grain flakes from Azure but with all the different grains I have, why not flake some myself. This way I can flake as I need them. That stock looks awesome but have you tried to can the chicken bones separately from canning the raw chicken? The canner turns them into a creamy consistency that is outstanding. And healthy too, full of goodness. Looks like you have an uneventful cooking session and I bet the turkey was wonderful.
Thanks! My husband does a great job building all the things around here :-) I guess I'll keep him lol And trust me, if this was several years ago this wouldn't have been as smooth in the kitchen lol These are recipes I'm very familiar with and I have the experience to know what all I can do at once. And timers. Timers are my secret weapon to not forget everything!
You are my hero!
Everything in your show today was amazing. That’s my new goal in life.
Healthy eating in an efficient manner thank you so much for sharing
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
I'm a newbie to all this. I would like to see more canning videos. I'm enjoying all you are sharing 😋.
Thanks, and welcome!

I love canning videos. Breadmaking and canning are my two favorite things.
Ditto!!! :-)
Girl. You’re awesome.

I LOVE canning whole meals in a jar!!! So ridiculously handy and fast!
Love the canning videos
Thank You , Love canning also ,would love to see more
Would absolutely love canning videos!

I think with yogurt, if you found a way to make it work stick with it lol It can be so tricky!
I love canning videos.
Same. I could easily binge watch them and I don’t think I could ever have enough recipes! Lol
Lol.. Glad you enjoyed Oklahoma. Hope you went more than just Alva.
lol my husband and I are country folk. While we saw Oklahoma City, little town of Alva is more our jam 😀
I really liked this video, it was so informative! I have made Ezekiel bread from your recipe and love it.😊
Great!! So glad you liked this and that the Ezekiel bread is working great!
My family calls it giblets like you pronounce it 😎 that’s Florida
We do everything our own way here in Florida, lol!
Giblets 😊
Wonderful video thank you for all the great ideas. Georgia can only grow soft wheat. We do have red and white soft wheat. That's all our humid climate can grow.
Yeah we get a ton of rain here in the South. Especially here in sub-tropic Florida! lol Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Much respect for your ambition. Hope your family appreciates you, sure they do. I am going to try the rolls.

Which brand of bread machine did you recommend?
This one: tinyurl.com/mprvsphm
How many quarts is your pressure canner you used for the beans?
I have the 25 quart: tinyurl.com/4utwanvb
😮OMGOSH...
Hi I just made the hamburger buns recipe you do and when I went to brush egg white in buns they fell like deflating a ballon !! What should I do wait for it rise again ? Will it rise again ?
I’m pretty new to this.
Hmmm they may have risen too much. But if that happens again just see if they may just rise back up when you bake.
We in the south say giblets like you did, like the bgees. Gibs
Why did you choose 160° instead of 180 everything else I’ve read says to get your milk to 180.
I know that's what Jill Winger says to do and after a quick Google search, a lot of people say 160 degrees is fine for at home. I don't want to REALLY pasteurize my milk, just enough to help with yogurt.
Where do you get the yogurt culture if you’ve never made it?
Ah forgot to link that! I got mine from Cultures for Health culturesforhealth.com/grainsandgrit
How much do you charge for a loaf of that bread?
If I were to sell it, I'd probably do somewhere between $10-20.
Wow busy Mom
I am blessed to have many mouths to feed! And also that all of them love what I make :-)

lol I’ve done this many times myself!!! Can’t tell you how many times I forget to thaw the bird 🤪
Great video. I say giblets, with a g not giblets with a j sound.
So it's not just me!
This is awesome!
I love your skirt! And that you're barefoot. 😊
I am also a barefooted Florida wifey who loves to wear skirts and be in the kitchen.
