I love your home made meals. I’ve been watching videos that show “home made meals” and all they do is open store bought cans and throw them into a pot😤 You are the real deal.
Hello Sylvia! You are too kind. I try to do as much true from scratch cooking as I can (and show that it doesn't have to take all day). The quality and portion of food you get when you make your own can't compete with any fast food alternative. Happy Canning!
This was awesome! I’m working on getting my brave on😂 to do my first pressure canning session following some of your recommendations. I need to get a couple of the books you recommend to make sure I’m doing things safely. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration!
The nice thing about canning is you can still follow the channels that show the dump in a crock pot meals but using home canned product. Canning opens up whole new world of meal prep 😉
You’ve convinced me to brave pressure canning. 😮I’ve been making individual freezer meals for my mom, but she has limited freezer space and I can’t always visit her every week. This will really help!
Ahhh!!! I love so many of these tips and tricks! Really streamlining (water bath, steam or pressure) canning makes for a happy, productive home. The up close comparisons were a great visual to see what we are actually putting in our bodies! Excited to try these recipes! I have to say I’m happy your channel is growing (been here since around 1k subs) but you are still SOOOO under viewed in my opinion! I tell most people your channel is in my top 5 to watch to learn about most homesteading things! Keep on keeping on! 🙌 ☺️
Christine! You are too kind, truly. YT has been a joy because I finally have canning friends to connect with! I try to post as often as I can between work and family life and try not to get down on myself when I fall behind with editing. Having an assembly line and pepping your kitchen really makes this process a breeze. I wanted to include the visual comparison because it truly does make you see how skimpy most brands are! It’s enough to make you upset, lol. I so appreciate your kind words, friend!
I just found your channel today. I was just now thinking, “With all the other preserving channels, I’ve watched how did I miss your channel?” So…..I’m sure glad I found you. Keep the videos coming! 😊
I’ve done the Chicken Chili Verde and it’s excellent. Another use for the Chicken and Gravy Dinner is to add some carrots, thicken the broth and use it for chicken pot pie filling.
You’re so right! Home canned meals have been a game changer for us. After work, i would pull into the “cardiologist fantasy” fast food drive through. Now, we can look forward to fast, homemade, healthy, tasty meals at home.
Cassandra, I keep getting taken by surprise. Twice in the last three days I found myself completely hooked, wanting to write down your recipes and can them up. Then you introduce where you got the recipe and find I actually have the canning books that you are using! You are so convincing!
I just discovered you 20 minutes ago! I purchased a 16-quart pressure canner a few days ago. My freezer is getting full with mason jars. I have been concerned about the electrical grid going down, so pressure canning it will be. As a single senior living in a city, I mostly use wide-mouth pint or half-pint jars. I don’t have a vegetable garden yet, but visit my local farmer’s markets and organic food stores for now. Subscribed!
I absolutely love your videos. I have watched them multiple times. You need your own cooking show. Did you know that crockpot has a mini food warmer? I use it at work so I don't have to microwave the food.
I just found your channel. I started canning almost two years ago, canning and freezing meals were the only way I could put a home-cooked dinner at table every night. Full time job and mom of 3 young sweet kids here! Loving your contents
Just recently found your channel. Went to the store and found very marked down mushrooms. I'll be loading my dehydrator tonight, then start my first fermentation tomorrow. thank you for energizing me, have a quarter side of beef coming in February. I've canned home raised rabbit before; next spring will be beef and my fruit trees. If you can butcher chickens, I'll find a neighbor to teach me.
I just found you videos and love, love watching you. I love the French Baskets and need them in my kitchen but cannot find them anywhere. Where did you find them?
Yum! The recipes you featured look delicious. I really need to get in the rhythm of canning meals in jars. The assembly line you showed made it look so easy! Thanks for sharing your tips :)
I tried freezer meals years ago and it was a huge failure. I found I wasted precious freezer space for meals that got shuffled to the bottom of our chest freezer and forgotten about. My friends & family appreciate and love a basket of these jars as a part of a get well care package.
Amen 🙏🏾 Brenda you said it! I’ve found myself in the same boat when it came to freezer meals. Learning the basics of pressure canning opens up meal prep in a way that can’t be beat! Glad you’re already on the band wagon! Happy Canning!
My family didn't like the freezer meals. Well they were plight and suffered through them, typically, they ended up eating some carb load later because they were hungry and the leftovers languished in the fridge. So either I ate them or they got composted. Or everybody figured out how to go to a friend's house the night that I serve that freezer meal the next time. Donated those to the friend that I did them with and went back to canning.
I have a suggestion for you. You have me tinned several times that you would like to start freeze dryer but the equipment is super expensive. You are definitely right! I've checked into it too, but I'm on Disability and low income, so not for me any time soon! Have you thought about contacting one of the companies that make the equip and see if they will sponsor you? They might provide the equipment in exchange for showing and using it in your videos. It is worth a try. The worst case is they say no. I wish I could be there with you in your kitchen to learn and watch. I envy your energy and persistence!
Hi Sherry! You are so thoughtful to present this. And, your recommendation is worth a shot but I’ve got to wrap my head around the sponsorship thing-part of me feels like it wouldn’t be relatable or accessible to how most folks could obtain a freeze drier and I’m fine to wait a few more years. I would like to purchase one before we move to our homestead where I’ll have even more room for food storage. Thank you, sweet friend!
Just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration to start canning. I have tried freezer meals and although they are a contender, it's just not working out as expected. I want Items ready to go/that I don't have to defrost. I'm so excited about this journey and just purchased your canning journal. Here we go!!
Great video with lots of information. I would have liked to seen this as 2 videos. If I need to re-watch, I wouldn't know where to begin. I guess I just prefer a slower paced video that's more focused. The info and hard work you've put into this is much appreciated 👏🏻
I made 12 quarts of a favorite family recipe called drunk soup. It was so nice togo home from work and open a jar off soup and have a hot meal atthe ready.
This is my favorite video yet! I just ordered another greenstalk (my 3rd) and used your coupon code! I purchased the Fermented Vegetables and the “celery stuffing” is amazing as you recommended! Thanks for the canning inspiration, I will have to look into buying a canned next.
Thanks but I do not know how to pressure can at all, Maybe I can do water Bath only using the Presto one that they have., Not sure I can do this yet 4-12-2023❤
Now my canner never leaves my stove. Its normally the meats that take so much time in meal prep (and clean up) I have a ton of canned meats I got on good sales at the ready. I also put a large batch of bone-in chicken thighs in the slow cooker as soon as I get back from the store. Then its frozen in the right portions. I also can a lot of jars completely unseasoned so I can feed it to my cats. Canned cat food is nasty stuff and the better brands are so expensive. Home canned ranch beans (recipe @ Whippoorwill Holler)are also a staple in this house. Thanks for sharing your creativity. 💕
Hello I'm a new family member I'm so glad I found YOU I love the way you explain your preparations I've never pressure canned SCARED TO DEATH OF THEM LOL MY mom pressured canned and 1 time the lid blew off and food was on the ceiling terrified me from that point on I was only 13 I'm 62 now mom still pressure cans you make it look AMAZING I MAY GIVE IT A TRY Pull my big girl panties up and try to get past my fear. TY AND GOD BLESS❤❤
Hi Joyce! Awww honey, your words are too kind :). I've not experienced a lid blowing off, which I can imagine left the wrong impression, but there are so many new features (along with updated canning directions that are clear) which make pressure canner a breeze. I don't know where I'd be without it. Things get buried and freezer burnt in the freezer so I'm so glad to have canning as a food prep alternative. Honey, you are 62 years YOUNG and still have plenty of time to start canning! Sending the love right back at ya!
How do i get the guide list do you have a good bread recipe. I can make muffins and biscuits just need good bread reecipe love all your videos thanks ❤😊
So, I was searching for meal prep videos and came across yours. I didn’t expect a canning meal prep video but was drawn in immediately. Your video was top-notch! Now I love ❤your spice jars. Do you mind sharing where you purchased them from? Did you label them yourself?
Thank you. I am going to try these canning recipes for this winter. You did an awesome job with this video, tip’s and suggestions. I really enjoyed watching.
I hope this question isn't too silly, but are the white peas from a can? Or are they pre-soaked from dry? Or are they just dry but rinsed? Sorry if this sounds dumb, but I wasn't sure! I love having pre-cooked meat on my shelf, but I may start to branch out into canning more meals. It's a wonderful time saver, and your right, the quality is much better than store-bought!
I love this!!! I’ve caught the canning bug. Been doing ingredients, but meals-in-a-jar are where I’m headed for the exact reasons you’ve mentioned. All the food you make focuses on flavor and looks delicious! Thank you! I’d love more of these videos!
My husband from Mississippi and did cabbage added water heated up in big pan till hot inside jar the put on lid removed from and then seals is that good enough for dinners in a jar
Haha, Lucy, I have no idea? Right now it feels my heart just to share from my kitchen to yours. Thank you for the idea (maybe one day?! Happy New Year!
I agree and there’s one curry especially that needs to bloom in oil but from everything I’m reading oil is a no go? I’m a newbie that purchased everything but has been scared to start just yet.
I wish a video was done on fermenting and why things go wrong. I’ve tried twice with no success. My next try will be distilled water. But would love to know why I get slimy looking carrots, and muddy turn to slime cabbage (kraut). I even bought fermenting tubes that stick in the top of a mason lid after the carrots got slimy, mold grew. But I will try again. One of my thoughts is kitchen to hot. I plan on trying in fall next. Love your videos. I will have to do some soups. I’m more an ingredient canner. But love soup.
Did you check periodically to make sure the veggies were completely submerged in the brine? Maybe you need to add more salt, since there was mushiness and mold. A cooler spot would probably help too, if you have a basement or at least away from the hot appliances. The basic brine recipe I got from the School of Traditional Skills is 4 Tbsp salt to ½ gallon cold filtered water
@@chRizma thank you for your input. Yes veg was weighted below brine, don’t recall salt amounts at this point. Due to my mother in law 83 living with us, temperature has been a battle. We keep AC on 74, any cooking, dehydrating canning, my kitchen gets hot quick. I plan on trying again in fall when temperatures cool down, will utilize my basement then. Also can put by sliding glass door then too. I have cabbage planted for a fall harvest. Then will try again. Will take note on your salt you listed as well. Thank you.
I just started my second time fermenting. I’m trying a corn relish. I’m not sure if it’s an approved recipe. I’m wondering if I’m overthinking this though. Still nervous about fermenting. Opened the jar today to skim off some floating food and now I’m worried that I messed it up lol it’s all so new yet.
Hello Chica Boom. Your canned jars will be at best quality for the next 14-18 months, but I've had jars closer to 2 years still taste delish! As long as the seal remains tight, its safe to eat!
Hello Marigene! I share other sources so that folks know these aren't recipes I've made up completely on my own. Ball has not been the source of the most egregiously unsafe recipes (for example, recommending to water bath meat) so its more of an FYI. Always do what's best for you and your family.
Hello friend! That is perfectly fine (and I was where you were just a few years ago). The process is easier than you think and you can learn TONS here on TH-cam and with a good canning cookbook! Canning is a science, perfectly safe and really gives you new meal prep options. You've got this!

One of the things I like best about your videos is the meal ideas you share for using what you can.
Oooh, the fridge basket system is genius!
I just found you videos and love, love watching you. I love the French Baskets and need them in my kitchen but cannot find them anywhere. Where did you find them?
Glad you're back! I've missed you, but completely understand..... life happens. Hope you and family are well.
Clarisa! You’re too sweet. I usually manage about 3 videos a month. I have 2 collabs coming up later this month. Happy canning! 😀
Your recipes always look so delicious. You are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and home with me.🌹
I love lentils. I have an Aerogarden and winter sow. I want to do more meal prep on weekends.
Another fabulous video. People need to learn to can, cook and prepare from scratch. You are teaching so well. We need a book of your recipes.
Yum! The recipes you featured look delicious. I really need to get in the rhythm of canning meals in jars. The assembly line you showed made it look so easy! Thanks for sharing your tips :)
The assembly line and day before prep is where it’s at! Once it’s time to “can” things come together super quick! Good to see you, friend!
Love this! Had I just done this my freezer wouldn’t be bulging. Then I forget to defrost 🤷🏻♀️
I absolutely love how you show how to make multiple different meals from the same canned starter. You are amazing.
Girl u r my fav you tube channel . Love your energy & u r educational , personable & im learning lots. Thx

Try more salt and herbs. Lavender increases estrogen and Rosemary decreases and lowers estrogen.
I also serve a little junk food with my healthy food.
Just thinking about you today..and up popped your video! Yay!
Hey BK! Our energies are aligned. I have 2 more videos (collabs) coming up this month. Always good to see you, sweet friend!
Mmm… I might have try the fermented green beets next year or a meal starter.
I love this!! I need to do a bunch of batch cooking! Thanks for the inspiration!
Your channel is becoming one of my favorites 😀 I just wish I had half of your energy😂
I love my meals in a jar - I am going to add a few more now - thank you so much!
You are so welcome, Donna! It's good to see you again, friend. Meals in a jar are LIFESAVERS!

Got my book today u suggested : zero waste cookbook. Love it! Thx for suggestion
Fabulous! always so amazing to get to see the process and end result before even trying the recipe. Thank you!
This is a very inspirational video and exactly the type of thing I want to can more of…I’m hoping to try the chicken curry one soon!
The chicken curry is DELISH! OOO-Weeee, we love it around here. I'm so happy you don't mind my silliness! :) Happy Canning!

Paula! Good to see you! Drunk soup? Honey I haven’t heard of it but I’m curious! Aren’t meals in a jar so convenient?!
Is that like drunken noodles?
Absolutely fabulous and delicious meals. Great meal prepping indeed, Love it. Thank you for sharing😊🌸
Never fermented anything but I love the flavor. You have me pumped up. Beautiful canned meals.
This is my favorite video yet! I just ordered another greenstalk (my 3rd) and used your coupon code! I purchased the Fermented Vegetables and the “celery stuffing” is amazing as you recommended! Thanks for the canning inspiration, I will have to look into buying a canned next.

Great information!! Even though it's just me now, I can see this come in handy when I don't feel like cooking anything.
New subscriber here. I am so enjoying your channel! Great organizing. Such a pleasant presentation. Thank you.
Thank you from Philly

Love these meal ideas! I don’t have freezer space, so meals in jars is more what I want to do more of! Thanks for sharing! Love your channel!
Absolutely love this video! Meals in jars will be something I work on next.
Raisins in curry chicken is wild 😮
When you can sweet potatoes how long do you roast them and what is your syrup recipe
So glad I found your channel!
Hi Great video
What pressure canning pot is that ?
Do you have the link
cassandra what was that grid iron looking thing in your canning supply basket ?
Man, this motivates me to can up some meals!! And fermented corn relish?? That sounds wonderful!
I am wondering what pressure pot you use and where to get it? Do these have to be pressure cooked or would a regular canning pot work?
I hope this question isn't too silly, but are the white peas from a can? Or are they pre-soaked from dry? Or are they just dry but rinsed? Sorry if this sounds dumb, but I wasn't sure! I love having pre-cooked meat on my shelf, but I may start to branch out into canning more meals. It's a wonderful time saver, and your right, the quality is much better than store-bought!
You are so refreshing. Thanks for this.
You are so welcome! I'm glad to hear this was helpful. Happy Canning!
Another awesome video, loaded with excellent information.
Does it work with a regular oven too?
Thank you for the recipes, 🥰
Love me some soup, i will definitely be canning some for the fam
I love this!!! I’ve caught the canning bug. Been doing ingredients, but meals-in-a-jar are where I’m headed for the exact reasons you’ve mentioned. All the food you make focuses on flavor and looks delicious! Thank you! I’d love more of these videos!
Do you have to seal the bottle dinners
Where did you get your lid opener from?
Love this! Thank you ❤️
My husband from Mississippi and did cabbage added water heated up in big pan till hot inside jar the put on lid removed from and then seals is that good enough for dinners in a jar
Also added salt
When’s your book coming out?? I need all your recipes ❤️
Haha, Lucy, I have no idea? Right now it feels my heart just to share from my kitchen to yours. Thank you for the idea (maybe one day?! Happy New Year!
I like to bloom my spices in oil when I cook to get all their aroma. Could I bloom in oil and then drizzle that in, instead of the raw spices?
I agree and there’s one curry especially that needs to bloom in oil but from everything I’m reading oil is a no go? I’m a newbie that purchased everything but has been scared to start just yet.
Thank you.
You are amazing!! My new favorite TH-camr
Aww, you are too sweet. I suffer from OCD (obsessive canning delight) so the excitement is real! Thanks for saying hello!

@@amyreid9649 You're welcome, hope cooler weather will be the ticket and it goes well!
It’s my fall goal. A lot of foods I make taste better canned rather than frozen.
Yum yum! Great video
I just started my second time fermenting. I’m trying a corn relish. I’m not sure if it’s an approved recipe. I’m wondering if I’m overthinking this though. Still nervous about fermenting. Opened the jar today to skim off some floating food and now I’m worried that I messed it up lol it’s all so new yet.
TY
These all looked delicious!!
Thank you. They all look so delicious
You are so welcome! ☺️
How long do these canned meals last in the pantry?
Hello Chica Boom. Your canned jars will be at best quality for the next 14-18 months, but I've had jars closer to 2 years still taste delish! As long as the seal remains tight, its safe to eat!
You have amazing content love your videos
Are those pre cooked beans?
WOW!!!!!! Faboulous video.
Hi Carolyn! Thanks so much 😍Batch cooking by making your own canned foods really is a game changer!
😎 you did awesome
Wut about a busy retired US Marine make like me? Can I do this too?
Lol. Semper Fidelis.
Did you know the Ball Book was only tested by Ball, not by the USDA?
Hello Marigene! I share other sources so that folks know these aren't recipes I've made up completely on my own. Ball has not been the source of the most egregiously unsafe recipes (for example, recommending to water bath meat) so its more of an FYI. Always do what's best for you and your family.
I have not yet started canning honestly I’m scared
Hello friend! That is perfectly fine (and I was where you were just a few years ago). The process is easier than you think and you can learn TONS here on TH-cam and with a good canning cookbook! Canning is a science, perfectly safe and really gives you new meal prep options. You've got this!
Freezer cooking is good but I A) need space in there and B) they cost money to run!
🙂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
