Hi Amy!! I've been watching you for years and I have to say YOU HAVE NEVER LOOKED HAPPIER! Since you moved to Florida you have this glow about you. And I'm not talking about a sunshine glow. A happiness glow. You are 100 percent in your element! Smiling more, laughing more, joking around more and just being YOU more. It is a wonderful thing to see and I am beyond happy for you. Everyone just looks content and that is a beautiful thing. Moving to FL was the best thing for you ALL!!
Many blessings...
Thank you 😊
Sometimes a change of scenery is all you need
You should use the offcuts from the chicken to make stock, or even cook it up and it can be used as a treat for your dog.
I was thinking the same thing.
Came here to say the same thing!
That’s what I do for my dog. He will only eat his food when I mix homemade chicken broth in his food. I started when he was a puppy and now he won’t eat his food without chicken broth. I make a big pot and freeze it and take out a container everyday for his food. I also shred up the chickens after I boil and put in his food
I was thinking the same, she cut off a lot of what looked like good meat, the dog would love that and as you said make stock with it! .. always lots of waste 😞
@@corran2000who said she wastes it?
I love the color in your kitchen. You are an inspiration and I enjoy seeing what y’all get into.
Good morning Amy
I love how you manage to keep all your foods etc away because it’s different being in your new home figuring out where everything goes or should go. But you did it and I have to admire you for it.
Love your food prep and dinner sound wonderful with relaxing in the pool afterwards.
I think Maddie will love her socks and Stephen will love his birthday goodies.
The beach sounds like a perfect place to celebrate Brooklyns day too.
Thanks for sharing your day with us. Todays passage from Matthew is so comforting .🙏🙏
Have a beautiful and blessed day with your family. ☀️💕🙏
It must be so hard to have to store your food in so many different places instead of the big pantry you had before. Have you ever considered installing Elfa adjustable shelves (from the Container Store) on the narrow wall across from your butler's pantry cabinets? You probably can get at least 12” deep adjustable shelves on that wall, which would be great for all your cans, bottles, and jars. Love your new home! You have been working so hard to get your old house ready for sale, packing, and getting your new home set up. I’m in awe of your energy!!! 💪🏻
Yes in time. I have a list ...saving money for it
“…It’s 6 o’clock, it’s not that early”
😬
You’re fantastic Amy. Thank you for sharing your life. I always feel like I have extra pep in my step after coming away from one of your videos.
Have a blessed week.
I feel the same way.
Happy birthday stephen. My son loved boogie boarding at the ocean. He was really good. Your kids will love it. Have a happy day. 😊
Hi sweet Amy,
As always another great video!
Thank you so much for the encouragement to not get overwhelmed but pace yourself in getting chores done... I didn’t realize how much I needed that reminder until you said it..THANK YOU 💕
I can’t wait to try some of your recipes, thanks for sharing! 🎉
Have a fantastic evening with your beautiful family! 🌻💚🌻💚🌻💚🌻
I love her videos. A light in this dark world.
I've said this before but I have to say it again. I just so appreciate your uplifting attitude all the time, it is so refreshing!!!
Thank you ..I'm thankful to be joy filled most of my days 💗
Proverbs 11:25 NIV
25 A generous person will prosper;
whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
Could you do a video where you make your own marinades and pair them with your meats. Also different salads or sides to accompany your outside grilled meal. you could do a week long what we eat from the grill . Just an idea for you Amy. I for 1 would love that video. All the best Stay blessed.
TH-cam is full of women saying "if I can do it, you can, too", but what the others fail to mention that you've always told us is "yes, I can do all of this now, but I've not always been able to. You may not can right now, but one day you'll be able to, as well", and that's what we really need more of ❤
All in different seasons and walks of life.
Well said.
Hi! You and your family really seem to be thriving in your new home! A blessing for sure. 😊
I think for convenience you should bring the freezer back inside into the corner and build a cabinet around it - paint it the same color as kitchen cabinets.
That's a great idea
Good evening Amy! After doing the meat prep for the month, my son was wondering where I got the idea. When I told him I watched your videos plus also get grocery ideas. He just shook his head 😅😅. It's saved me. Thanks for sharing. Hafa adai and love from the island of Guam 🌴❤🌴
Lol smiling enjoy your day. Hopefully some.sunshine
yes, the cylindrical tubes of ground beef are called chubs, ie 3lb chubs, 5lb chub, etc
Love how open and real you are about what works and what doesn’t! Life is all about learning. Also so true that there are indeed different seasons of life. Love your videos as always 💕🤍💕
Thank you for the intro that expresses your faith. So important.
Hi Amy, you are a ray of sunshine. Have a blessed day. Great video. Love to family.
Yup you were talking and I was watching the kids having boogie board fun 😎
You are always an inspiration to just keep working through like Thank you ❤❤❤
Thank you for your videos, they always make me smile and often laugh with you.
Same!❤
I'm getting ready for a remodel so I have things everywhere it is making me nuts hopefully this week I am getting something done making second bedroom into working pantry it is a good thing just time consuming Thank you for your time you give on u tube God has blessed you and made you a blessing to others
Good morning Amy. I agree that it is so much better to prepare your meat before you bag it up. I have spent a lot of the Summer filling our freezer with marinated meats to cook on the grill or smoker, shredded huge blocks of cheese from Azure Standard and froze, freezing fruits and vegetables from the garden or local farmers, etc. Also I have been canning since Spring. Strawberry jam, pickles, Cowboy Candy, relishes, potatoes, chicken, chicken and beef stock, beef tips, venison tips, soups, stews, chili, venison chili, venison Sloppy Joe sauce, pinto beans and black beans. My family can't hardly stand store bought foods and I love filling our "home grocery store" and freezers with delicious "real" food.
Morning. Maybe you need a couple ceiling fans or just some regular fans to circulate the air. Love tour videos
Oops just saw you have a ceiling fan in the living room. My bad. Lol
Don’t try to garden in the summer. Everything fries in the sun. Spring veggies and fall for a few things are the best bet.
Thank you.
I love how you plan, shop and prep. Makes life so much easier, even if you have only two kids. Great video. Thanks.
She’s definitely helped me along the way with my four homeschoolers, now 6.
From a fellow Floridian, I put meat I'm throwing away into the freezer until the night before trash pick up. It cuts down on stanky trash 🦨
I could make a meal for my family of 6 with the scraps you toss away.
That's beautiful..maybe you can share with others...we love ideas on here and others share
@@amymaryon I would use the pieces of breast you toss to make a yummy chicken soup. I guess when you grow up poor like I did you use every scrap for food. I use my turkey bones,neck and giblets for soup . I am 60 and when you live on 28k a year you learn how to stretch a dollar. Yes my kids give 200 each for food, I do not ask for the grandchildren. I spend 450 a month for 6 people.
I appreciate this. Thank you for sharing....everyone needs ideas ..I film a lot and sometimes i do save the chicken pieces....if you look back I've made broth and such ..just didn't this time ..filming everyday :)
Hello Maryon Family! Hey just watch having that griddle on super high heat it can warp it & you will know when it does warp it will start rocking like it's unlevel. Have a blessed week 😊
Really enjoyed the music you picked. 😊
Rinse your bottles with a bit of water to get every drop of sauce better for recycle to
Always fun to see how much you get done in one of these big prep videos. It brings back happy memories of when my kids were little and I did the original Once a Month book menus. There is a frozen fruit slush cup recipe there that my kids loved but it was blended smooth. I've got the flu and the thought of one of those frozen fruit cups sounds good on my irritated throat. So much fun to see how your kids enjoy the pool, glad you are happy in your new home.
Thank you
Think about storing evaporated or shelf stable milk on hand for hurricanes as well. I use evaporated milk in my Mac-n-cheese anyways. It’s wonderful.
Thank you for this idea
Our county library has fishing poles and tackle to borrow.
Good to know!
Good morning. I like my chicken salad with celery and onions cut up. I also use mayo instead of miracle whip. I do eat the canned chicken for chicken salad, but I prefer chicken chunks, so it is more meaty. I hope you have a terrific Tuesday and I will see ya tomorrow.
I haven't had London Broil in forever. My dad would make them when we were growing up.
I’m not sure if you own a vacuum sealer but I use it for my meats to prevent freezer burn. Meat will last so much longer in the freezer.
Amy, you should cook up the pieces of the chicken that you don’t eat and use them us treats for your dog… much healthier for Maxine.
Always enjoy your videos!
Good morning!! Thank you for another great video...Thank you for the encouragement today, I soo needed it..I'm a school bus driver with a morning route, mid day route, and afternoon route ..it's so hard to catch up on my pool work, housework, and yard work..both my husband and myself work long days..I've beaten myself up because I just can't get ahead of the game..but at the end of the day God reminds me it will all be okay.....love from northwest ga ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes it will
You inspire me Amy!!!
Great video today Amy love how you bagged the ground beef lol intresting way loved it. Thank you for teaching me some new tricks 🥰
You could also use it to make stock.
Hi Amy , fresh new blessed week . 💐💐💐
Yes fresh new day 😄
Hello everyone. Hope everyone has a wonderful day
I hope you had a good day!
I hope you are having a great day, see you tomorrow!!🙂❤🙏
Never realised you could put the sauce in bag with chicken and freeze it. Great idea thanks.
Amy..I'm so jealous of your kitchen storage...it's great!
Hello Amy & family. I would be in the pool every day if I lived there. Nothing getting accomplished! Lol. 😊 I'm handicapped & can't do as much as I used to but, I set a daily chore goal for each day. I try to accomplish that task but, don't beat myself up if not done. We all have both good & bad days. 27:45
Tomato plants and others you would need to make sure they had some shade part of the day. Because this Florida heat all the time would kill them . Would burn them. But trees like oranges would be great . But yes you can grow some vegetables all year long . Low as it’s gotten here in Florida since I been here is in mid sixties.
I would not be cutting all that off the chicken. Times are very hard for me, I am having trouble even buying chicken. I would have to cook it all
Everything looks yummy Amy . Everything is coming along smoothly
Good morning Amy while stening to your video I just put a clear coat on my cabinets that we installed this weekend in my kitchen. We eplaced all the upper cabinets and added one so I put a clear coat on. While listening to your video I love you videos you' make me get motivated even if it's 5 o'clock in the morning here in Texas. But it's awesome thank you so much for your videos God Bless you and family, Now on too organizing my freezer
Goldie have a wonderful day 😊
We love fried Spam sandwiches!!!! 😋
I precook my hamburger meat before putting into freezer bags. That way cooking spaghetti or tacos etc is so much faster. I also stock up on rotisserie chicken from Sams Club and debone them and put into freezer bags for chicken Alfredo, soup etc. Take the wings, backs and other pieces you can't get all the chicken off of until you have plenty and then make chicken stock with it. This makes for faster suppers for busy Moms.
Wow you have great cupboard space in your kitchen
Thanks for showing the burger. We buy it to but hate putting it up. Have a nice day.
Rinse off the ice crystals, that helps remove the freezer burn taste.
I didn't know this thank you
Hello dear. You were talking about the Taste of Home, I have my mother-in-laws. I was going through looking for recipes and happened upon them. Made me smile as she's been gone for 19 years.
I too cute the meat and bag it. Nice to know I'm not the only one. LOL
I truly enjoy watching your videos.
I cook up the chicken scraps for my dog
Great video Amy! Have a blessed day and week💐
If you make your raised beds across your back yard think about putting a sun screen for your plants run it across your back yard from side fence to side fence for your tomatoes put then on planters on the ground
You can grown herds and anything else in in green stocks they look nice on your patio
Hi Amy
Have you thought about a food saver?
With the amount of food prep you do it might me something to look into.
Just a thought
❤xxx
Hi Amy, so nice freezer marinades there, but tell me, is there no such thing as recycling for cans, bottles etc in Florida?? I find it concerning that you just dump everything in the bin, which will go to landfill and never break down... 😢
It’s different in different areas. We have several garbage companies that serve our area and they all pick up recycling on different days than they collect trash. It’s very confusing and you have to make a conscious effort to ask for a bin and ask what day it will be collected.
@@MCOTJ1212Whether they recycle or not, isn’t your business to be making a judgement about. To each, his own.
Different people have different convictions. It’s not healthy to place your own onto others. 💕
Amy I have been watching for just a little while but this is the first time I have ever said anything I just have a suggestion for the yuck pieces you cut off save and use to make chicken broth with I hope this helps
I appreciate this thank you and thank you for commenting 😊
the hamburger idea is fantastic
Be thankful that you and your family are not living in Arizona. The temperature here is 120 degrees. So hot we have to put our a/c down to 50 degrees to stay cool and hot will make it hard to go outside and go grocery shopping. And so hot will you can't cook breakfast and lunch and dinner.
Still watching the video--but I had to say that the Gummi Grapes are sooooo good! But if you EVER see the COTTON CANDY GRAPES, *please* GRAB THEM!!! You and your family will LOVE THEM!!! My kids, their Dad and I can't get enough of them--they taste exactly like cotton candy and they're DELICIOUS!!! ☁🍬
They're good, for sure. I just bought some "Grape Soda" grapes from Sam's and they're good too. Not as good as the Cotton Candy ones, but they're not squishy and the skins aren't tough or astringent and they're sweet and flavorful.
Oh we loved the cotton candy grapes but I’ve not seen them where I am in the uk 🇬🇧 a couple of years
Really like your hiding spot, behind the flour bin.. perfect, hopefully you’re not like me and forget where you put it
🤔 ..😂❤
God bless mommas🥰😇
Happy birthday Stephen have a great day
Do you recycle your cans n plastic bottles??
Hi Amy! I absolutely love your videos.. I've been a viewer for a long time! Welcome to the great state of Florida (: I do have a question.. why don't you recycle? Not dogging you just curious! God bless and thank you for the amazing content 😊
I appreciate your kind words...i have never shared my thoughts on things like that as well as politics and all the other controversial topics...just my personal choice not to share.... I think with everything in life...we are all convicted to do what each of us is to do .whether that be ...goto one kind of church denomination...or which political party to vote for ..to vote or not to vote....vaccine or not....doctors or not...fluoride or not .. homeschool or public school...stick and work through a marriage or divorce.....have tons of kids have no kids....solar or no solar...follow God not follow God ..i think the list can go on and on and both sides would very much stress their point of view....there are many aspects of my life that no one sees and that others presume...just because I don't answer or don't talk about it...doesn't mean im against their opinion...I've learned over the years the beauty of a word fitly spoken and when God says share...to share. There is much that people can nitpick about my home and what we do or don't do...but there is a lot of things that when turned around...if I was looking at their life...i could question why they didn't do those things. Just my 2 cents today ..this is to answer multiple comments on this today not just yours ❤️ i appreciate you asking....maybe in time I'll share what we do and or my thoughts I know when i don't understand other people's actions or choices...i try and put myself into their lives and ask why they would do something and learn all i can on the other viewpoints..there are always 2 sides and the media almost always pushes one agenda...thankful for the ability to some extent for people to share the other side of things....makes life interesting:). I wrote a novel and didn't intend....it was just some food for thought in our home today .
I appreciate your lengthy explanation. I simply adore you and your family!
Yes living in the South that black stone is a great investment. We live in Ga and it’s hot too.
You should use your pressure cooker to make some meals. Like your lentils and rice. Or your chili it’s fast on won’t heat house up. Or do some roast and vegetables in slow cooker or beef stew. Make up a lot of crock pot meals and freeze them. Or cook up lots of your ground beef in the slow cooker for different meals.
Good morning Amy! I love your videos, your family, and your beautiful home, do you ever just sit and look around at how beautiful it is and be like pinch me to make sure I’m not dreaming, I know I would lol❤️ God’s blessings 🙏🏼❤️
😂 i am very thankful to God and am grateful and have been for all that he has given to me 💕
@@amymaryon I know you are, and it shows! You always give God the glory and praise for all his blessings 🙌❤️
Amen!
We use to make this using grapes, pineapple tidbits, canned mandarin oranges and bananas….wonderful! I would make in cupcake papers and freeze…then one could get out the amount needed! Just the right amount! Yum!
Oh that sounds neat
You should remove bottle row of eggs and put it on top so you use all the older eggs before the newer ones.
It’s been crazy hot. Cooking outside definitely helps.
What a great idea for packaging ground beef!
Everything looks so delicious. I love how Titus jumps in and give his 2 cents worth. Well he may give 50 cents worth. 😅😂 How often will you make this cake? Easy to make, just time consuming. Hope y'all have a great weekend. Can't wait until this heat is gone. Its just miserably hot in SC. See ya tomorrow night.
Lol Titus is the other channel :). Greg is here ...have a great day
Living in Florida is definitely different ❤
Watch for the hurricane and stay safe.
plan for the spring now and get it ready
Again, thank you for your ministry.
The grilled food looked delicious!
Amy what temperature you keep your house at since you’re moved down here to Florida? We keep our place at 75. Still little warm for me. But my guy has lived here almost thirty years and he thinks that’s cold. So we agreed to that temp. I’m not so hot and he’s not so cold. While people down here in December are wearing pants and some kind of jacket most times I’m still in shorts or very light pants and thin sweat jacket. Last Christmas it was near 80 and I’m about an hour south of you.
I love your outside kitchen.
That watermelon looks awesome.
I love the hamburger bagging trick.
Maybe try a tray in the back corner of your pizza oven with charcoal, get the charcoal so that they are almost white first
Then put your hickory wood chips that has been soaked in water and drained makes boat with foil and put on top of your charcoal
I like this idea
Great video❣️
I save the tops and tails of the onions, celery and carrots as well as small garlic cloves with the off cuts of chicken to make stock. I just keep a bag in my freezer that I put all these things into and when I get enough to make stock, or I need stock for a recipe, I load it all up in a pot, or my instant pot and brew up a batch. My son calls it my “garbage broth” lol. I also raid the herbs I grow to give added flavor.
I love making stock too....that's a beautiful reminder. Thank you
Sometimes it hard to remember everything.. but that's what we are here for
Also if you freeze it just a bit it cuts so much easier
Would a foodsaver work for you to freeze your meat supply less freezer burn from just putting them in regular freezer bags??
Canned chicken, boiled eggs, sweet pickle relish and Miracle Whip!!
Oh. I love the hamburger log hack
Yay top 9 and top 100 comments and likes. Love this channel. Best to you and your family. Thanks for making this video.
Hello sunshine family, I cleaned out all my kitchen pots and pans. I had some question went did I get this and why? So, now over 5 boxes just from the kitchen my front room is full of stuff.
I love your recipes and cooking. Also I watched TH-cam channel name is “just the bells 10” Heather made wonderful recipes for her family of 10. She’s from Michigan.
She is awesome i watched her shorts too
I know your family like maraschino cherries…I bet they would be good in your frozen slushy treat!
