Thank you for telling everyone about expiration dates. That is so important and not talked about enough.

I love to top our sloppy Joes off with a couple spoonfuls of the pickled coleslaw. So delicious!!

“Expiration dates” are required because if there’s any issues by a certain date in the quality tests, they’re supposed to use that time frame “for safety”. But if we use common sense and check things as we open them, many will be surprised by how good thing’s really are.

I was having dinner with you guys!. Sometimes I find myself thinking what would Rachel and Todd fix with what I have in the pantry???. My plan is not to waste anything and so far I'm doing pretty good. I always freeze some for later since there's only two of us here too.

You are both a joy to watch. As a retired person(1 year now) I went back to what I refer to as my Mother Earth roots. Garden, canning, and eliminating processed foods. Your channel has not only inspired me but has taught me as well. As a fellow Michigander on the Lake Huron pond. Thank you!!!

I made ghee yesterday and taught a friend how easy it is to make ! Got chili's going now to freeze dry. Love my Urban Homesteading life!

Thanks for sharing the feeling of peace and contentment! 😊

Please do tell us more about Pepper Mustard Butter! I showed it to my husband and he is intrigued. I'd really like the recipe - thank you!

We just get rid of most of the snow and here it comes again tonight. Stay safe.

Beautiful snow scene..tranquil

I am impressed! I don't have this kind of stamina, but have to do things a little at a time. I don't work anymore, on disability. Here you two work, go to the gym, and still do all this! What coffee do you guys drink 😅

As soon as I seen the snow I knew it had to be Michigan. Hello from the U.P. of Michigan! Great videos!

Your menus are so inspiring! I'm retired, widowed and converting a backyard into all garden. The fruit trees dominate the front yard. My question: since you are giving your land a Sabbath, what about your Greenstalk containers? Will you grow anything in them this year?

Hello! I decided to join you for dinner lol. I also can ghee and love it! I also use half pints and I go through one a week. It seems to be my choose for cooking as well, it has such a great heat point and flavor. Hope that was helpful. God bless❤

i got brave and tried my home canned ground beef in homemade lasagna. it was good.

The "OH, I did" after Todd had mentioned not tasting the Ghee yet made me laugh way more than it should have! 😄😄 I took a break from homestead youtube for a bit but, I always come back to you two!

Hi Rachel and Todd. Yumm! My uncle made brisket Sous vide style then smoked it and it was wonderful! I can’t wait to try it out at home.

Love your videos . Relaxing . Been brown trout fishing up north . Yoppers great people great fishing.

The meals looked yummy. You guys do a great job making us feel like we are sitting around the table with you. Great inspiration for our meals too1 Always nice to see how you use your pantry food to pull together meals.

We looooove ghee. It’s so good and has also helped my daughter and I to be more healthy. I spotted that my perennial herbs, asparagus and chives are popping up outside. I squealed 😅 ready for warm weather and long days out in my garden ❤

Hi, I want to thank you for your inspiring videos. I preserve a lot, both vegetables and venison, but sometimes have trouble knowing how to use the preserves. I got a lot of ideas from your videos. I live in Sweden and we don't have a tradition of pressure canning and there are no directives from the goverment, so we follow the American recommendations and look for information and inspiration via KZread.

I was wondering if canning the ground beef in broth would help with the taste and texture. It's good to hear Todd say it's better. I read that if you sprinkle 1/3 tsp of baking soda on the ground beef when you are cooking it, that will tenderize and keep it moist. I'm going to try both!! Thank you for all of your great videos!! I am learning a lot from both of you!! Stay safe!!

Chili crisp is really good on peanut noodles too. One of my new favorites.

Absolutely love your videos! They give me so much inspiration!

I love watching you two eat your delicious meals♡

Another week of good eating, thank you for sharing it with us. I love picking up ideas from seeing the ways you both use your pantry items to pull together delicious meals. The sous vide pork ribs are really intriguing, I've never tried that. Thank you for all the inspiration!

I really need to add more to my pantry this year. Thanks for the insights

It just dawned on me. You don't have your seedlings growing in the background, like years before. I know it's "pass year" for that, but am wondering how you are doing...not starting the garden? You loving it...missing it? Love you two!

Blessings to you and your family ❣️

I love seeing someone else using cast iron also. Love using mine!

So fun! We sat down late to dinner to watch you guys (7:11 PM) and were eating eggs and ham also.

So good to hear that canning the ground beef in beef broth helped the flavor... definitely going to try that. Thank you for sharing, and may the Lord continue to bless you all abundantly!

Your dinner videos are such a great illustration of why the way you can your produce is so great. By making pre done sloppy joe sauce, and canned meats, it's so easy to grab a couple of jars and make a quick and delicious meal! If you just can the base product, you still have to spend the time and ingredients to turn it into something. This way, its ready to go! Love it!

Great meal ideas; thanks for sharing your cooking & nice to hear from you! Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦

I wish so much I could meet someone like minded to have this type of life! You two are a blessing to watch!

I look forward to these every year. :) I hope in the next two years I will be canning as much as y'all do. I started canning a few years ago but now finally have room to garden and raise animals. The first thing I ever canned was chili and chicken. It's still one of my top things to can for convenience. My mom lives 1200 miles away but I've offered to raise some birds for her and can them and if she drives this way, she can take it all there. She taught me how. I just love preserving.

Hello Rachel and Todd, Happy Thursday

Yummy, great dinner meals.

That long diners ,love you two

I can’t believe you guys already in spring! We here in Minnesota are buried in feet of snow!

Love your what’s for dinner videos

I put things on subscribe and save in Amazon when I would like to stock up on something. I usually do every 3 months. That way it’s coming even though I may forget to order. When I have enough, I stop the deliveries.

I can my ghee in the wide mouth half pints, it’s easier to get it out when I’m cooking

Unfortunately, we’re supposed to get hit with winter that missed us in Jan & Feb for the next 3 weeks. I’m not seeing many budding trees here in PA, but I’ve seen some birds returning. I feed them. Love the birds

I cook my burger with onions & garlic, then can it in broth. That’s the only way my husband likes it & only in sauces or BBQ sandwiches.

I found a can of chunk chicken dated 2017 which I decided to open to see what it looked like. Well it certainly smelled & looked fine & tasted just fine too.

I made the banna bread pie it was so good thank you

Looks good

I'm so behind on videos, time to catch up during kitchen chores!

Finally I can sit down and watch :) I SO ENJOY you both!!! It is also fun to see a couple enjoy this type of cooking....I love it but not my hubby ;) Hey, I noticed you put your shells in the carton. You should do a question on if your subs put the shells in the egg cartons. I never have done that, but now that people save me egg cartons for all our eggs, I can tell, more people do it than I would have thought.

We only put the shells back if the entire thing, carton and all, was going to the wild west of compost piles, or into a tumbler. Otherwise the cartons needed to stay as clean as possible, imo.

Funny I haven't made pie since Thanksgiving and I just made a green apply pie, soooo good. I've been trying meal prepping, having a bunch of food almost cooked so it's fast & easy to get meals together. Not sure it makes difference or not, but I'll give it some time, just trying to find my own groove.

Yum.

Loved watching you make sous vide. Just got one. It haven’t tried it. Have to figure that out how to use. Thank you for sharing. Any recommendations on what to watch or a book on sous vide?

We have 20 chickens, so we’re getting 20 eggs 🥚 a day. Your meals looks so good. ❤

I was thinking you were going to explain expired foods how long they are good for but all you mentioned was the bbq sauce ?

Canned Italian beef and BBQ pork yesterday:)

That’s good I got 5 eggs yesterday, my Bees are on the move too.

Thanks for sharing Todd & Rachel 3-9-2023❤

I make a peanut butter chicken simular to yours but it has more sauce &we serve it over rice

Could you make and freeze egg nog for the holidays? Or water glass eggs for fresh whole ones in winter.

Forgot to add a link to the GHEE we bought: amzn.to/3T3KBid ♥

Not opposed to MSG in this house. It's got a bad rep IMO.

I'm not a canner but it all amazes me, I have canned 6 jam jars of peach butter 1 time lol... curious as to why not can the sloppy Joe and meat together? I get canning just the beef for other things but would think canning them together would meld the flavors even more?

Just asking... does this music make anyone else hungry?? 😂

I was so happy for you when you said your bees survived the winter! But then you had all that snow when they were out of the hives. Will they be okay through that snow?!

I clarified butter, and I canned it. I put it in the pressure canner, brought it up to 10 pounds of pressure turned off the canner, and let it cool. It lasted me 2 years. Time to do it again I think over time I have 10-15 pounds of butter in the freezer. When I have 4 or so that I notice in the fridge I throw one in the freezer.

It’s called a sous vide, “Soo Vee”.

So, I pose this question to Todd. The canned ground beef, Rachel said she wouldn’t can the pasture raised beef you’ll had unless she had to for preservation so what she canned is commercially processed beef. Do you think that has anything to do with your like/dislike? And don’t get me wrong it’s like once you have some amazing steak you want go back to cheap…. Just curious if you have thought about it in that light?

I love, love butter! Unfortunately my cholesterol is high. How do you guys eat such tasty things without health problems? I’m so jealous😉

Did you can and cooked the hamburger because it was getting a little old in the freezer? If you cook it, you are precluded from using it for hamburgers, meatballs, or meatloaf. I like to always try to keep some extra fried ground beef or pork in the freezer. Then I can just nuke it and add it to pizza, spaghetti, or chili. Do you find it gets washed-out on flavor when you can it because it has to be submerged in a liquid in the jar?

How does the texture of the canned ground beef compare to cooked ground beef?
