Rose Red Homestead shows how to make these and put several in brown paper bags to carry on in her car and truck for trips and camping. Dollar Tree has small boxes of that style of hash browns, Homestead Corner buys them there. I prefer the Great Value brand of frozen hash browns. They pour out of the bag very easily compared to the name brand that I bought.

I just found you! WOW! What have I been missing! Thank you. I want to see more dried meals in a jar.

Great for anyone to make, prepare, and visit with an elderly friend that may need a little TLC. What an awesome treat for them if you took it, visited while they ate, washed up after, and put the extra helping in a bowl for lunch the next day. Even someone that is going in for 'treatment' that exhausts them would appreciate the kindness this would bring. Terrific video!

Before I met my husband, I ate Spaghettios and Raviloi, or creamed corn with toast broken up in it. Those and generic soups, of course. On a fixed income, $430 dollars for two months of the year, October and November and Food Stamps. Had to spend money to go to the bank in Ambler by bus to pick up the paper Food Stamps way back when. It cost $4.50 to get there and to the store and back home. Thank goodness for the Access card, which didn't come out until 1999, by which time I had met my husband and we were living in Norristown, Pa. He's gone on to glory and I'm living with my nephew in Philadelphia, Pa.

You really could have found aa whole new little cooking niche for yourself. I’ve seen snacks and a few little ideas that could pass for a meal in a jar--but nothing so comprehensive as this! Great ideas for SO many reasons. Thanks please do more!

I’m a recent widow used to fixing pretty fantastic larger meals, so I’ll be going out on a limb and try these, Vicki.

I’m hoping to be able to substitute my own dehydrated foods for the pricier Thrive Life brand. Thanks for not pushing that when so many of us on limited incomes can’t afford the other.You are a great teacher...slow enough for me-to write as you talk. I appreciate that.

I am sorry for your loss. It must be very hard learning to do things differently. Absolutely do what works for you! Freeze dried foods are great, but they are definitely more expensive, especially if you have your own dehydrated food. You will need to adjust the rehydrate and cook times, but it will work fine. Good luck, and please let me know if you have questions, and also let me know how they turn out! Blessings!

I’m very intrigued with dehydrated/freeze dried foods. I have a dehydrator that I only got to try twice, and I don’t think I did it correctly-I did it according to the chart that came with the machine and it didn’t work out right! I’m a beginner to all of this; I have plenty of canned goods including mess as to, but I think your way is the better way to go! This video was wonderful; I would love to see more! Ty so much, and I’m also a new subscriber. I really want to get into canning, but I’m on SSI & Food Stamps, so I have to buy things here and there. I just bought a funnel for canning, and a box of lids while they were there and I had the funds! At the same time, I’m trying to get into homeopathic remedies/medicine and growing my own plants in containers, as I live in an apartment. I’m also alone. God will surely bless you for the info you share!

Vickie, I finally had all the ingredients necessary to try the chicken alfredo. It turned out great.

That sounds super. Can't wait for that! Here's a request for a Texas girl: Years ago I bought a carne asado seasoning. Yes, a seasoning, NOT a marinade. I love it but the company that made it has gone out of business so I can't get more. Think you could conjure that up? Here is the ingredient list from my last jar: Salt, sugar, chili pepper, "spices", dehydrated onion, dehydrated garlic, and citric acid probably as a preservative. That "spices" thing has me mystified, LOL. That is the complete list, in the order given.........There IS a recipe on the internet, I think from Epicurious, but it makes like a pound and a half of the stuff! It calls for things like 1/2 c garlic and 1 c chili powder. I don't even OWN 1 c chili powder!

Sorry about that. I was trying to hurry because of all of the Thanksgiving preps I still need to do.

I use unbleached flour and whole wheat flour in baking bread. I use 1/4 cup of wheat in each cup of unbleached flour. 3/4 cup unbleached flour and 1/4 cup of wheat flour in making cakes from scratch too. They'll never know. I have used a Crockpot to make meals, did you know that noodles and pasta will cook in a sauce in about 15-20 minutes? Works great, so will rice, I buy Knoor side dishes and eat them for lunch or dinner. Hamburger Helper type meals can be made without all of the salt and chemicals they add. I had a mini Crockpot and everything cooked in less than 20 minutes. The microwave broke yesterday so I'll be using the Crockpot we have for delish meals until my nephew buys a new one. God bless you and your family.
