LOL at Aaron saying "This is why we're fat" 😂😂😂😂 something I would say for sure lol
lol
My husband used to get off work at 4:00. The kids got home from school and about the same time. Supper was ready and we all sat down to eat. People thought I was nuts to have supper ready at 4:00, but my thought was when they got home everyone was hungry. Instead of filling up on snacks we ate supper. Later in the evening was the time for snacks, after having a decent meal with all of us around the supper table.
That’s a great way todo it
I agree 100% with your decision to always eat as a family at the table. I believe more families need to practice this.
Thank you Bill! Much appreciated
You amaze me!! Your freezer meals look incredible. You also look adorable in those overhauls. Cannot wait to see what you do next.
Doing a video on what a weeks' worth or whatever of food would be helpful. I do so much better with a visual. Thank you!!
The best part of this video. Aaron's comment. Sooo hilarious. We all need a good laugh. We love your cooking too. 🍳
lol thank you
My husband says the same xxx
I am so glad I came back to see you and your family! Making Lard is one thing I want to do. I’ve stayed busy canning…. And I’m getting tired! Thank you for explaining things so well!
I love that you wait for everyone to come home to sit and eat dinner together. When I was a child my dad worked swing shift. He would cook dinner at lunchtime and my mom would come home on her lunch break and we would sit and have dinner together. That way we got one good meal together. Then my dad had a good hearty meal before work. Then it didn’t matter if we ate sandwiches at night.
I love it! So worth it!
I totally agree that we are not short order cooks! They can always make something for themselves but at mealtimes they eat what is on the table.
Do you ever water glass your eggs? I watch Ozark Family Homestead, and she put away like 56 dozen eggs for the winter, when her chickens don't lay much.
Yes I did full videos on was to preserve eggs even showed us eating the old ones in a taste test
My BEST dog of my life was my English Springer Spaniel. Please show him more!!! Mine was a female. I love & miss her so much. One of the main reason l watch & subscribed to your channel. God Bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister ☦️ 🙏🏻
Such a great dog!
Good tip. Put your onions in the freezer for 20 minutes before chopping. No tears, it works great. I'll even delay a cooking project if l forget, & put them in the freezer.
If you rinse the onion in cold water , after you cut it in half , you won’t cry.
Freeze dried dill is amazing. I freeze dry all my dill and it just needs to sit to rehydrate for about 5 minutes. It's perfect. I also freeze dry my basil, oregano, thyme, etc. Enjoy.
Hi Jessica 👋 So good to see you again. I've been off for a while, and I'm waiting for some good weather down here on the Peninsula. It's been raining and cool here with a couple of days getting up to like the early 60s, but nothing like it should be by now. Loving all the cooking you've been doing, perfect for busy summertime meals. So I have a quick tip on red onions to not to make you cry is to take out the white middle (the strongest part), and it really helps with no more tears. 😭
Excellent tips and tricks, and I agree with everything you said. Loved the man who fixed his hair in the video. 😂😂😂
I love your long videos, so I would totally watch your year worth of food.
Have a wonderful weekend, my friend 😊
Another great video!!!! Love watching. I tried meal prepping and it never turns out good but watching this video makes me want to try again. I just love watching the meal prepping videos. Please drop the chicken salad recipe b/c I would love to try.
Love your videos! Food looks delicious. If youll buy Comet and a small sink brush, that sink will clean up and the stains will be gone. I hace a old sink too and use Comet to clean it up. Works line a charm. Best wishes.
Everything looks so good. But I was wondering if you've tasted the chicken salad since it was frozen? I had always heard that meals with dairy don't do well but I love the idea of it easily accessible.
You good always look so-o good!! I’d like to swipe a bowl of each one!! You are a huge part of a wonderful family!! 💜😋👋🏻
I don’t like chorizo. Can’t stand the smell, maybe Italian sausage
they say to rinse strong onion under coldvwster??
A suggestion, try one time. Crack all your eggs on a cookie sheet and bake them in the oven. Works great.
Hi Jessica and sweet family! Awww Kodi, how cute your new puppy is. My poor mama, I would bring every stray dog home and she would help me take care of them.
lol, Aaron is so funny.
Good job on making your grandmother some good nutritious food and also the family. I like cooking ahead and having freezer meals for myself. I just made 30 egg rolls with meat and I can eat them for lunch or dinner.
Ina Gardner is one of my longtime favorites.
I hope everyone has a blessed weekend ❤️
I just got this! TH-cam held this message for 6 days! Thank you my dear friend have a blessed weekend!
Touching your hair while cooking is a no no, dumping hot potatoes in the sause is going to suckup the sause. A suggestion from a old lady
You have such a big heart. You are an inspiration. Thank you.
When I made my breakfast sandwiches, I cooked my eggs in my muffin pan! Turned out perfect
That's a great idea! Thank you for sharing
I just made another batch of 8 grande breakfast burritos too! I stated making them fof my son but now I eat more of them. Mostly for lunch or days I've been working outside and we're out of leftovers 😂
I love it! I find I forget to eat working in the yard and need something and when I do I’m starving, I grab a freezer bowl and in min I’m full
Those soup containers are what I store homemade potato salad and homemade soups in my fridge. Or anything else I have a quantity of. Also use them to store Christmas cookies and goodies when I’m making them for the neighbors 😊. Only mine came filled with ice cream or sherbet, not soup. To quote a wise man, “No wonder we’re fat!”😂
lol he is so funny
Your husband cracks me up. Great humor he has. So don't you Jessica ❤😊
lol thanks
About freezing for a year. I think for me freezing food for 3-5 months is enough. I make casseroles and since it on two of us I make one to eat and one to freeze. I always freeze soups like chili, stuff green pepper soup and Italian wedding soup. I freeze goulash, spaghetti casserole, chicken tetrazzini, taco soup, tons of spaghetti sauce with ground beef and Italian sausage. Will you be doing more freezer meals videos?
So many great ones!
Question.....do you have a cookbook? I like all that you prepare from start to finish. Just like you and your family, we had an emergency 4 months, and we or should I say myself got bored.....
I have been in the restaurant industry for over 35 yrs . And currently work at OG for the last 7.. its truly an amazing company to work for and with.. one of the absolute best i have ever been a part of.. legut every sauce and soup and pasta is made fresh every single day.. anything not sold goes into bags and sealed like the food saver . Then put in the freezer on a shelf called "harvest" and every week (i live in north Alabama) Tennessee valley outreach comes and collects the food and distributes it to our local shelters and food banks.. anything we cant sell goes to them.. whole lasagna, whole tiramisu, gallons of soups and sauces.. day old pasta.. its really great ❤❤❤
That’s amazing love hearing stuff like this
Barkeeper's Friend in the shaker can like comet (not the liquid one!) will get your sink beautifully white.
It does great I use it but it is hard on it so I try to limit it
Loving this video. So you FROZE the chicken salad with Mayo?? I did not know you could do that.
It turned out fine I guess I didn’t know you shouldn’t! lol so now I know it did fine
Wow your amazing! Does anyone in the family ever help you with batch cooking?
Oh yes if I’m not filming it’s a family affair.
Loved this video! Very inspiring! I am by myself and got great ideas so I don’t waste food! I missed hearing where you said the soup was from?
She had gift cards to Olive Garden they were free to her and she just loves them
LOVE the breakfast bowls! Genius!!
They are so easy to take along! I know you work
That looks like a nasty wood stove burn on the back of your left hand. I remember those from my past. Hope that it's healing ok.
It was one of the Rabbits but you are so right plenty of scars from the stove
Have you thought of freeze drying eggs? A lot of people are expressing how good they are. And are amazed.
Yes made a who video on it.
where did u say those soups are from? or did u make
Hi, a new sub here. For the red onion if you rinse with cold water it will help with the strong smell of onion, but still have the flavor and crunch. It's the best hack ever.
Hello WELCOME!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thank you so much for sharing this 😊
Love it thank you
love your vlogs not bin with you long few weeks and im going back looking and i love them ty for taking the time doing them and stay safe kathy uk
I made the potato salad this morning. We had it tonight. It is delicious!
Thanks!!
I see from your video that you have a great supply of eggs, have you thought about making your own mayonnaise instead of buying it?
Yes! I’m starting todo that now
Great video, thank you
My goodness you have bunches of eggs.
Absolutely love the channel Jessica. You make we want to batch cook breakfasts lol.
@@Lynn_Up_North thank you! So kind of you
I sure love watching your cooking videos, such great ideas!!
Thank you so much
I didn't realize you could freeze chicken salad
How is it when you thaw it out?
No one told me we couldn’t so I did and it’s good just stir it up and defrost in the fridge
Dill is stronger freeze-dried I love it. Almost all herbs are fantastic freeze dried. Celery is also great frees dried and then made into powder,oe keep in in small dice after freez drying.
I love it! Great to know!
I was looking for the chicken salad recipe? I’m excited to meal prep

Great video Jessica. Love your channel 🌷🇨🇦
Thank you so much
Did you wash your eggs with soap? That really isnt necessary.
I don’t think so but I will when it is smelly like pooo! But if it’s just dirty I just wash it off before the fridge I don’t wash them sitting out. But no one want the fridge to smell like poo, or if I’m cooking straight with it I might use soap as I don’t want poo on my hand when cooking so it’s a two for one
Hello Friend ! Great video ! Thank you ! 🐾🦴🐾
Hello my friend
Thank you so much!!! This is exactly what I needed to see. 💜
Because of you, I now know what to do, and plan to do the same very soon. 😁
No harm, no “fowl”😂. 🐔 🐓 🥚 🍳
When an onion is so strong rinse it under cold water to take some of the taste out of it. Do not be surprised if your grandma cannot eat that chicken salad. There's a big difference in green and red onion.
Thank you it actually turned out fantastic. It comes out of the freezer great honestly better than expected
Wow, everything looked so good. The new puppy is beautiful.
I'm surprised that since you cook almost everything from scratch that you are not making your own mayo. Easy to do with simple ingrédients and fast: oil, mustard and eggs. I use my hand blender to do it,
Not right now I’m just treading water this month. But taking help and trying to keep everyone feed but now the garden is in I can get back into the kitchen
@@modernhomesteadalaska You can do a simple recipe. I egg, 1tablespoon of dijon mustard amd you drizzle around a cup of oil
You are saving so much time with all the meal prep.
Thank you so much
Have you made potato salad like this with homemade mayo?
I ask because I recently made a hot dip with homemade mayo and it definitely had a different texture.
Wondering if mixing the hot potato with homemade mayo would change the texture 🤔🤔
I do sometimes. I’m just holding on right now so nothing like that from scratch this month. But the garden is in so I have time now!
@@modernhomesteadalaska no judgement lol, just curious if it would change texture in this case like it did in the dip.
I’m a sinner desperately in need of my Savior the same as everyone else! There’s only one righteous judge💕
One trick that might be time saver when you make your eggs sandwiches to freeze is cooking the eggs in the oven on parchment. Don’t know if your family likes them cooked that way or not. I prefer them fried but sometimes saving time is where it’s at🙂
I like your comment about everyone eats dinner together. I think that’s important and has gotten lost for many in our society. I’m gonna try your chicken salad recipe!
Quick question, does the mayo in your chicken salad break when frozen??
It didn’t seem to. We just give it a stir and it’s good to go
@@modernhomesteadalaska ok great, thank you😊
Cody is really maturing beautifully as a young lady 😊
Thank you!
I never heard of freezing chicken salad. I never seen chicken salad in freezer section at a store. How does that taste? Mentally in my head it kinda makes me think it’s not good. Just asking your real opinion
It actually turned out super well! Just stir it around it froze good. Honestly.
@@modernhomesteadalaskathank you. I make my chicken salad from rotisserie chicken as well and I always make to much. It’s just my husband and I. All 6 kids are moved out on their own.
Great video, really enjoyed it Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
We always had dinner at seven sharp. My husband would come home for lunch and we have dinner together. Poor thing had to go back to work. Now that my husband‘s retired and the kids are grown a few are still at the house, but we rarely ever sit down at the table and eat together. We just go to our lounge chairs and eat in front of the TV. I do miss those days of us sitting all around the table.❤
That’s like my recipe, but I add sweet pickle, dill pickle, black olives and hard boiled eggs, chopped.❤
Our family just discovered your channel. So much beneficial information. Especially grateful for your time and devotion showing each stage from purchasing, creating and final product.
Thank you for sharing 💜
Hello
❤❤❤
I love your dogs 😍😮
Where did you purchase the pails of soup?
Olive Garden
You are amazing with the health issues you have you are always on top of everyday life n more! Have a great week!
You're a batch cooking super hero. What a great job!
when i freeze things that dont fill container i put plastic wrap inside to cover what were syoreing so no ice crystal buikd up or freezer burn ectif no plasticvwrap i have cut a baggie n used parchment might work to its just to make sure no extra air in container. i do same for hubbys ice cream cause takes him forever to eat
i myself cantbstand smell or tadte of chorizo but rest of famiky does i just cook it outside butbi will save drippings to use in beans for my hubby .
I'm confused please help! I was told by three people to never wash fresh from the coop eggs? Never got an explanation as to why? One said just wipe them off if your worried about it. But you just washed all your eggs. Help lol Anyone
You don’t need to wash them to store them and washing them they must then be refrigerated. I washed them because they had dry poop on them, and I didn’t want that in the food. Easier with the number of them to wash and not brush that off in the kitchen
You don't wash the eggs for long term storage like water glassing them. I saw Jessica do a video on that and then she also showed another video eating those eggs months later.
@@modernhomesteadalaska
Thank you for answering my call for help lol. I've lived in a rural part of Louisiana for 23 years and have just started buying farm fresh eggs to help support families raising chickens. I love how bright the yolks are. So no washing the eggs and they don't have to be kept in the fridge? I use them much quicker than I ever did the store bought ones! Have a blessed evening!
@@judyshoemaker9681
Ok I watched that video. Just amazing what you can do with fresh eggs. Thank you! Have a blessed evening. Now I have a reason to buy a egg basket 😂
Where did the soups came from??
She had gift cards to Olive Garden and got them for free. Made for a great lunch
There is a pretty simple technique to re glaze you're sink will look new..i absolutely love your sink!! Love the recipes dang thats alotta eggs!
You should make your own soup and freezer like that

@@lisanowakow3688 thank you! Best free thing I ever have found!
I too cut a red onion the other day and just peeling it I was crying & cutting it took me forever because I had to keep leaving the kitchen. Worse onion I've ever cut now I'm scared to buy anymore.
It was the worst in a long time
Large soup containers good for egg gathering
I know where I'm going if the SHTF. ha ha ha Thanks for sharing. I never thought of doing all of these breakfast meals and freezing them.
I am just catching up with your latest videos. A lot has happened! Your confidence and spirit of joy are so uplifting.
Please consider doing a video on restocking both the upstairs and downstairs pantries! It would be very informative to see what needs to happen next to build back up.
I would love to. When funds allow. It might be a hot minute but we are making it through this with heads high and lots left in the pantry. But as soon as we can I’ll restock and take you all along
Ph9😮
makingbthese for grandma n family right?
Yes that’s correct
I always use red onion in chicken salad/ celery, cilantro chopped, red pepper, 1/2 Avacado mashed/ splash ACV, fresh minced garlic, salt , pepper….. yuuuuummmm! My fav 😊
😮I didn't know you could freeze mayo, WHATTTTTTTTT. Also you're looking wonderful today. Aaron is a trip 😂. What a cute puppy. That's great that they let Blu come visit the grandparents my daughter done that too but she forgot to pick the puppy up 😂
Love this video! Always enjoy watching you and your beautiful Alaska
Jessica, I love having breakfast in the freezer. Going to look for those cups next time at Costco. Why haven't I seen the foil lids before! My family likes the English muffins toasted before I make the sandwiches. I enjoyed today's video and you talking about food. I live alone and found that I stocked up on too much food. With the grandkids so busy with school and sports, the big family dinners haven't been so big. It's important to re-evaluate my needs. Have a good weekend.
