Making everything from scratch can be so time consuming but so worth it. Love the idea of doing all the prep on the weekends! That would make my weeks so much more relaxing
Hi Tash! ❤️😘 Yes, it is a lot of work!!! I do my best, but none of us are perfect. I think incremental change over time is best. It can get overwhelming. I still pick up frozen chicken strips in a pinch 😂😂
I love your videos! I cook my hamburger when I get home from the grocery store and put it, by the pound, into freezer bags and flatten them. Having the meat already cooked for spaghetti, chili, sloppy joes, etc. is a game changer. I also mix up a meatloaf or hamburger patties and freeze them as well. I thaw them out in the fridge the night before eating. I also stew chicken and shred it into 2 cup freezer bags for chicken salad, casseroles, etc. There are a lot more things that I prep but don’t want to bore you! Have a great day!
Oh my goodness, this is the smartest thing ever! I almost want to write this down so I don’t forget. Totally going to try this. Thanks so much!! ❤️
The flower arrangement is stunning.
Thank you!!! 🌷
I do premade pizza, large batches of freezer pie crust, I buy leg quarters; seperate the thigh from the leg, put them in ziplocs and season them. Separate large meat purchase into 1 pound packages. I've started buying bulk snacks and separating them myself. I use powdered milk in cooker recipes
That’s so amazing! I love that. Thanks so much for some great ideas. ❤️
Hi Suzanne! Freezer meals is a great idea for your busy days on the farm. On a smaller scale, when I had garden produce I would make casseroles using eggplant(moussaka) or stuffed peppers, or zucchini lasagna and then whichever dish I made, I would make a couple more to freeze. I did it more so as not to let the produce go to waste. It worked well. Well your pizzas look delicious, and I can see them not sitting in your freezer too long. Your ideas are always so good, and that airfryer looks like a really good one. Thanks!
Hi Roberta! I love that idea, especially using the garden produce. I really need a bigger deep freeze. I think I would definitely do that! I only have a small apartment sized deep freeze (plus 2 fridge freezers). It fill up fast during the growing season! But even having extra in the fridge for later in the week would be great!
Awesome job MamaOfTheHouse! So, if/when you run out of pizza boxes you can use the cardboard cake bases at a hobby store or Walmart 😉 And something that has stuck with me after eating real pizza from Italy was that you can literally add anything! They had fried egg and green pepper atop their pizzas instead of our American usual, so there are a ton of easy variations if your family loves the pizza but needs new topings to keep it interesting 😉 Yhank you for the encouragement
I love the idea of trying different ingredients! Yum. I did actually try to get the cake bases from Bulk Barn, but they were so expensive! I think they were 2.88 each, which will add up fast if you are doing many pizzas. But a great option if you are only doing a few! I actually did buy 2, then used them to draw the circles on my pizza boxes! 😀
Thank u for sharing your prep foods. Ready to cook anytime
❤️ Thank you
Freezer muffins great breakfast and I love making soups putting in big mason jar in freezer
So good! Thanks for the ideas! ❤️
I’m glad I found your channel! I’ve always been a farmers wife, also. And before that, a farmer’s daughter and granddaughter. I look forward to learning new things from you. We live in a beautiful valley among the Appalachian foothills of north Georgia.
So glad you found me!! That’s an amazing heritage. My husband grew up around farmers in his family (extended), so it’s in his blood. I love the farm life! ❤️
We make buckwheat pancakes often. Also known as ployes, they originated in Nova Scotia and later came to my home state of Maine. They are a French-Acadian flatbread. They are similar to both pancakes and crepes. Original ployes are low in calories, fat-free, sugar-free, lactose-free, and cholesterol free. Original ployes recipe is made using buckwheat flour, which is naturally gluten-free, and wheat flour. When making your own from scratch, you can use rice flour instead of wheat flour to have a gluten-free version. They are also low-carb for those looking for that option. Use them to make waffles, sandwiches, dumplings, and more! Although my recipe is much different than yours, I loved learning something new. Thank you for sharing another wonderful video!
Hi Julie! Can you share your recipe? I'm gluten-free and always looking for mixes I can easily substitute to make dumpling dough and other dough substitutes!
Oh that’s so great to hear a bit of history behind it. My husband told me that his mother told him that her recipe originated from the wartime. It was easy for the soldiers to make. Thanks for all the tips!
@@foodnwords Of course!
Ployes (Buckwheat Pancakes)
2 cups buckwheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour (use rice flour for gluten free version)
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 cups cold water
1 cup boiling water
Mix dry ingredients, and then add cold water and mix well. Let mix stand 5 minutes before adding boiling water. Mix really well. As your batter sits, it will thicken up. If your batter is too thick, you can add just a bit of cold water.
Place a cast iron skillet on medium heat. Get the pan nice and hot! This is KEY to making sure your ployes do not stick. Do not add butter or oil to the skillet!
I like to use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to scoop my batter and pour onto a hot cast iron skillet. (Be sure to stir batter between uses) Spread your batter out thin, but not so much you see the pan through it. Let the ployes cook, adjusting heat accordingly. DO NOT FLIP! These will cook completely without flipping. I know this is hard and not typical, but ployes don't get flipped like pancakes. As they cook, you will see bubbles form on the surface. As those bubbles form, you will see when your ployes are done. Transfer to an oven safe dish and keep warm in the oven until you finish cooking the rest.
These are truly a treat!! You will LOVE THEM! I use them in place of biscuits along side chicken stew. SO GOOD!!! You will never want biscuits with your chicken stew again. (smile) When our boys were little, I would butter them while still warm, then sprinkle a bit of cinnamon sugar on them, and roll them up into little logs. It was their favorite! Enjoy!
@@thefarmerswifecanada You're welcome! What we call buckwheat pancakes (Ployes) are a bit different. Your mother in law was probably accurate on where your recipe originated. Ployes date back to the early 1700's and originated in Nova Scotia. My mother's family are from Canada, so Ployes were a staple food in our home. Here in Northern Maine we actually have a day dedicated to Ployes. It's called the Ploye Festival. This festival holds the world record for the largest ploye ever made, which measures 12 feet in diameter.
I was so excited to hear your say you were going to make buckwheat pancakes in your video! I had never heard anyone on youtube mention them before. Although they were not the Ploye we know and love, I was very happy to learn your recipe. I will be making these for my family soon! Thank you! (Edited to add: I will create a video on them so you can see how they are made)
@JulieKeeperofMyHome I’m going to write this down and give it a try!! ❤️ What a treat this will be.
It is just me and my husband, but many times we cook extra just to put in the freezer for busy days. We also can a wide variety of foods. Every year I try to can something new, besides veggies. We have canned chili, (although we decided to leave out the burger and add it when we open a jar) homemade tomato soup and this year I'm canning asparagus soup.
That’s so great!! I’ve done some pressure canning, but definitely want to get into some of those meal items. I’ve done soup and spaghetti sauce. Both were excellent as a quick meal.
I make two or three meals at a time and put 2 or 3 in freezer. Meatloaf and casserole are easy meals to freeze. On a busy night can cook frozen if forgotten to pull out.
Thank you!! 😄👏🏻
I’m from Cape Town South Africa… I found ur channel over the weekend . And tried it..the Flour mix very nice thank u.
Wonderful! Thank you, love hearing where people are from!!! ❤️
Please tell us the story of your flower garden! How, what when? I know you’ll be real and help us wrap my head around this and inspire us to start our own.
Yes, I might have to do that!! I actually grew a row of cut flowers, and a row of tea herbs in my vegetable garden. I loved them so much! I wanted them to have their own space. I suppose I’ll think about it for a future video 🌸🌷
I just found your channel and love it . I wish I would have found it before I left Kelowna last year! We were such close neighbors!
I love Kelowna! Such a beautiful place. The drive there is amazing (all the landscapes)! ❤️
It's ok to have last minute things in the freezer for when life gets in the way, or other convenience foods when needed. I also try to batch cook things when I can, and I keep things like pizza dough in my freezer for simple meals when I don't feel well (my partner and teen can have fun making them together, and it's good to clean out the fridge with toppings) we learn how to make things easier over time.
Yes, absolutely! It does take time to get good at these things. I hope that when I’m older, I’ll have it all figured out 😅. For now, I just put one foot in front of the other. Some days are great, others not so much 😂
I've just found your channel, thank you for the tips and receipe, loves from France
Thank you so much!!! 😀
I got mine at walmart. It's a ninjia fooi air fryer that has a 13x13 pan. Love using an air fryer.
Yes, I believe my daughter has one like that. She says she makes everything in it. She loves it!
Been wanting to tackle a meal prep like this ever since my fiance and i moved into a new house! Im gonna try this weekend, using this bid as reference. Thanks!
Congratulations on your new house (and fiancé)!! 😀
@@thefarmerswifecanada thank you so much ☺️
It was an immediate subscribe once I saw the tulip picking ✨ 🌷
That’s awesome! 🌷 Thank you
Those pizzas look wonderful I am enjoying your channel lots of blessings to you and your family
Thank you!! 🪴
You are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
New subscriber here… Very much enjoyed this video. Could you show us how you season your cast-iron with bacon grease?
Thank you so much, welcome to my channel! I will think about that for a future video. ❤️
❤Another beautiful video❤!!!
I love the idea of freezing pizza as a meal! With the added responsibilities of homeschooling, editing, writing blog posts, and the never-ending to-do list that comes with being a content creator for me, mealtime has become quite a struggle for us. We avoid ready-made meals, but this idea sounds like a beautiful solution.❤ Love ❤️ the air fryer too!!!
Thank you!!! ❤️ I totally get it. I’ve thought about blogging. Would love to do it, but between TH-cam, farming and homemaking, I don’t think I’d have time. You’re doing great! Your channel is amazing 🤩
@@thefarmerswifecanada Thank you so much!! We are loving your channel as well. Blessings your way!!
I'm from Québec and buckwheat pancakes are my father-in-law favorite breakfast ever :) My in-laws even started to grow their own buckwheat in their backyard, last summer.
Oh that’s amazing!! I love Quebec, it is such a beautiful Province. My husband got to go home and take our son to meet all the relatives last summer. Funny enough, all of my extended family lives in Quebec too (on my mom and dad’s side). But I grew up here in B.C. so I never got close to my cousins or grandparents. But I’ve visited there three times ❤️
@thefarmerswifecanada do you speak French a little bit? Honestly, the first time I came across one of your videos, my first thought was that your accent sounded very familiar. I was pretty sure that you're bilingual.
@@madmomma5331 That’s so interesting!! Because, no, I don’t speak fluently (but I can understand a lot), but I never realized that my mom had an accent. She grew up in an English household, in Quebec (they are all bilingual). I found out when we went to Quebec and met her family. They all had the same accent. I must have picked it up from her!! 😂
I’m also trying to move towards mostly scratch cooking. It is tough as a full time WOHM, but it is worth it. Also, we are on a budget and convenience foods are pricey. We don’t eat animal products at all, so many convenience foods including pizza delivery are not an option for us. I’ll have to try my hand at homemade veggie pizzas!!!
Thanks for sharing your tips😊
I totally understand. Up until about a year and a half ago, we were vegetarian for about 10 years. In the beginning, it was an exciting adventure and I made a lot of from scratch vegetarian meals. I also was a stay at home mom at that time, so I could do it. As time went on and I began working, I started to replace the from scratch food with junky processed food. Especially as more and more convenience foods that were meatless came on the market. It is so SO hard to cook from scratch when you work. It is a worthy endeavour, and a labour of love. But it is HARD!!!!
That air fryer is incredible !! 🤯 might have to get a second air fryer in the house 😂
That’s awesome 😂. I actually love it! It’s so quick to cook, and really easy to clean. Makes cooking so much simpler!!
I make casseroles for freezer meals. We have done favorites
Thank you!! ❤️
You can get a bunch of chicken (breasts and thighs) and then marinate them and put them in the freezer. Makes for super easy grilling. Just add a side or two. Delicious!
Thank you! Great idea 😊
Suzanne you
need a stove with the airfryer built in. Its wonderful. Hope your day is wonderful! I love fresh flowers in the house. ❤
I’ve never heard of that! Sounds amazing 🤩. Thanks so much for watching!! 🌷
Look for stoves with “True Convection” we have one and love it!!!
Hi honey!I love your video, and your beautiful garden!Is very very nice!Wishing you luck!❤💚☘️🌿🌹❤️💚☘️🌿🌹❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪
Thank you so much! ❤️
The homemade frozen pizzas are a great idea. I’m not a fan of frozen pizza but it’s good in a pinch but I dislike is to much I’d rather order pizza than eat frozen. However making your own frozen pizza is genius. I just wish I had more freezer space to do it.
Yes, I agree! I really dislike frozen pizza. I had just enough room for those pizzas in my freezer. I would much rather order in, which we do sometimes. It’s just the cost is so high with 5 of us, and the boys eat hard!!!!
@@thefarmerswifecanada oh I understand the struggle. Haha
I love the pizza idea. I'm definitely gonna do this❤
Definitely give it a try! I will definitely do it again. 😃
Do you start the family eating the first pizza while the second one is cooking? I have five children and making homemade pizza in the oven is a challenge because you can only fit two in at a time.
Usually, when I make pizza in the oven, I make 2 large pizzas at once. I have big pizza pans, so I can make a big size. That is usually enough for us as a family of five, even when I have my older son over. Making a side salad can help too! I got my pans at a restaurant supply store, several years ago. They last a really long time.
We love to order pizza in a pinch!👌🏻❤️
Ordering in is what I request when I’m absolutely done. No motivation, no plan… it happens! It’s just so expensive for our family. ❤️
I’ve just found you and love watching you. Your flowers were beautiful. This episode was filmed some time ago, but Acre Homestead is always preparing freezer meals. Check her out if you still need some ideas.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Hello!! if you want lots of ideas for frozen meals you might want to watch Becky from Acre Homestead, you will like her and her ideas for frozen meals.
Thanks so much, I will check it out. I’ve watched Becky’s channel, but I haven’t kept up with it in awhile. I will look for those videos. Thanks for the tip!
Honestly, I would invest in a few pizza pans from the Dollar store.
👌👍
💜💜💜💜💜
You're doing so good. I smiled the whole video. BECKY @AcreHomestead is a really good channel for freezer prep meals.
Awww, thank you!!!! ❤️ Yes, I love Becky!!! I get really overwhelmed at the idea of a huge amount of freezer meals at once. (Though I love watching other people do it! 😅). For me, it’s one step at a time.
@thefarmerswifecanada yes; one step at a time. Those pizzas look amazing btw.
