I'm Amanda. I'm a wife, mother and a homesteader at heart. I've always been drawn to living more sustainably, and learning new skills to help make that happen. I share skills I've learned, skills I'm trying to learn and how we progress on this journey as a family to live more simply and mindfully. Thank you for watching!

The ending is a little different than normal. My mom came over, and I thought it would be fun for her to try it with me. What you didn't see was her try a spoonful of fermented garlic honey right before I turned the camera on. She was not a fan, and I couldn't stop laughing. My mom is such a good sport, my best friend and she is a pretty spectacular woman! Primo Sale Recipe: cheesemaking.com/pr...

I like wake up earlier than my family
Hope to see how your freeze dried corn actually turns out when it’s time to eat!
Looks great
Butter makes things better!
Corn cutting tip: You can use a bundt pan to cut your corn on/in, and it won't go everywhere. I've learned from experience that it makes it sooooo much easier and a quicker process. I love watching your videos, I'm always challenged to do more. Thank you. :)
Yay! A new video!
Can you tell me where you purchased the bucket with the spigot please…. Love your channel!
Your husband messed up! He did such a great job keeping the bees and harvesting the honey, he’s earned himself another job, official bee keeper! 😂 One less job on mama! 🎉🎉 Your soup looks delicious! 🤤
😂😂😂,I think you’re right!
Hello!! For the butter (you may have already commented on this), I use the whisk attachment on my mixer and let it go until it's a partial ball. I don't have to filter it. It's all almost stuck together. Pretty easy to get out of the whisk. Separates the buttermilk beautifully. Sorry if you know all this. Just a suggestion to make it easier for you. You've done great with the challenge this year. Thank you
We are really enjoying the freeze dried corn we did this year. It rehydrates so fast and its like nothing ever happened.
I was wondering!!
helpful
How fine do you grind your wheat for hamburger buns and which wheat did you use?
I grind everything on the smallest number, and have only ever changed it when doing cornmeal. And I usually use a mixture of hard white and soft white.
What do you use the roasted cherry tomatoes for?
I add them to salads and pasta. Similar texture ad taste to sun dried tomatoes.
@@TheHappyHomestead thanks so much! You are my new favorite channel ☺️
You can make homemade tortillas and chips
Yes, I am not very good at that, but a great idea. Thank you!
Excellent video, Amanda! Loved all the things. Never had preserved lemons, but the process looks pretty straight forward. Will be curious to see how you use them later. That turkey sandwich sounds right up my alley, all the ingredients sound yum especially havarti with dill which is one of my fav cheeses and I will take sprouts every time over lettuce if I am given the opportunity hahaha. Thank you for sharing. 💚
I made this recipe and it came out perfect!!!!! I was out of honey so I used about 1/8 cup of sugar. I am diabetic so I can't have too much sugar. It is delicious. I will freeze one loaf and devour the other one 🙂 Thank you so much.
I'm so happy to hear that!! Great job!
You are so pleasant to listen to. Another great video!
You can use this crackling instead of bacon and add it to egg and salad but cook longer to get rid of all fat, It's better to cut into smaller pieces before you start melting and it's delicious and better than bacon for me.
I use my kitchen aid to mix ground meat, it saves my hands. I have carpal tunnel .it works great.
Ive done the same with a turkey I got on sale last November. I needed to get it out of the freezer. Yummy!!
Roasted red pepper hummus! Yum! That’s amazing that we could make our own Roasted Red pepper hummus…. I’m so excited to do this, this fall….when I get ahead of all these tomatoes!!! Lo 🥔🍅🌶️🫛🫑🥒🥕🥬🍠🧅🧄❤
Excited to see how & what you use those lemons for …Hope you will video it . ! Nice job 👍 😊
I love your channel. Awesome video
What part of North Carolina? I’m also from North Carolina
The Raleigh area.

Hey Amanda🎉 My Austrian girlfriends husband was in town a few weeks ago. I sent my friend 2 of your bars of soap that I had ordered from your store. She texted me that she wanted to eat the soap because they were soooooo beautiful 🤩 😂🌹 She is a vegetarian and your soap aligns with her lifestyle ❤❤ 🌺💐
Yay!!! I love hearing that, thank you so much for sharing!
Where are you located
Amanda is located in NC.
Love preserved lemons!! So good minced in tuna salad! I also use them in vinaigrettes, couscous, rice, pasta salads, preserved lemon dill aioli on some salmon - YUM
My theory during canning season is perishable things first. Dirty dishes and other things with still be there when you get to them! Lol
I could see you freeze-drying the thick leftover part of the hot sauce, then blend it into a powder, and add it to a good salt, to put over popcorn or your favorite steamed veggies!!
I actually did do that last year, and may end up doing that again. Thank you!!
Mince one of your lemons and add it to your rice while cooking. It takes it to the next level! I really enjoy your channel.
I made this roasted salsa verde last week. I love it! Hubby on the other hand…he did not…
That’s a man for you 🤪😆
I cut my lemons into wedges and it’s so much easier to squish them.
I can't think of any reason NOT to do that.... And easier to manage coming out of the jar.
@@jenniferr2057, which is why I did it; it made zero sense to me to cut it partway. Plus, more juice is extracted for better coverage.
@@Imjetta7 it looks like she ends up there, too.!
Yes, I eventually did figure that out. Thank you!!
I was thinking of freeze drying my roasted red peppers.
@@maryloumccann8536, I did; so good!
Why don't you cut the lemons all the way? Seems if you smoosh them. they might as well be cut through. I have a meyer lemon growing and wanted to preserve the lemons but instead just gave them to friends. This winter I will be making some for sure! Also thanks for sharing some of the ways you would use the Adj Versky! I'm 78 and lost most of my taste but for some strange reason, I now like hot peppers! Weird. Especially at my age. So for all these years I never used them and now want to learn how. Thanks.
@@iartistdotme, that’s how I do it; so much easier, and more juice is extracted.
I will next time...I had read so many recipes telling me to cut partly...but I'm not sure why at this point. I'll cut all of the way through next time.
Your vegetable soup looks delicious! 😁 Thank you for making this recipe 👍🏻
Just did this again, video to come out tomorrow....this time with beef. Thank you!!
I fd or dehydrate my hot sauce solids and powder. Shelf stable and my own little secret ingredient. They.Are.Delicious. I do that with fire cider solids, too!
Smart use of the handles of your bowl as a pour spout. Never thought of that!
To make life easier you could put chopsticks either side of the lemon so you don’t cut through the bottom. You can use this technique for hasselback potatoes.
Love your channel! I learn so much. I made garlic and honey a couple of days ago. I have about an inch head space,is that ok? Also my honey was thick now it seems thinner, is this ok?
First - great job!! That garlic honey will keep indefinitely and is such a powerhouse to fight sickness! It will get runnier over time, perfectly natural. Just keep shaking it. And the headspace is fine.
Oh Wow!! I just found your channel and I love it! You are the only other person besides myself that I have ever seen use a steam canner. I absolutely love that thing. I will never ever water bath can again. Now I must go and binge watch. Have a lovely day ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
I don't know much about what growing zone you are in, but will you get enough chill hours for your honey crisp apple? If you are warm enough for olives, I am not to sure.
We'll find out. :) I'm in zone 8a, formerly known as 7b.
It looks like you don’t peel them, wash them, or cover with lemon to keep them from getting brown. True?
That is correct, I don't worry about that.
I love making meatballs to freeze. I do 2-3# each of ground Italian sausage, ground pork, & ground beef. They are so good!
New sub. ❤😊
Yay! Thank you!
@@marilynrobertson6265 Welcome 🤗 Amanda is awesome 🤩
I loved this video! Meatloaf and meatballs, great idea. Val C
You always make me laugh so witty 😂 thank you , you always brighten my day !
I make lists for my lists lol. I try and write down every idea I have when my mind wanders so later I can come back on days when I am not so busy and hit up my list.
We get a half a cow at a time and I always immediately take 10 pounds and make freezer meatballs. I bake them, flash freeze them, and put them in gallon ziploc freezer bags. That way I can take out as many as I want for spaghetti, meatball hoagies, Swedish meatballs, etc. It is sooo convenient to have those in the freezer!!
We pick out steer up in a week or so I am going to do this!! Great idea!
Totally have the same tomato thought for next year....finding now that I didn't plant enough paste type to do what I want/need...don't like using my slicers...too much juice and seeds
Sooo happy that you were able to edit the other video 🎉 I just love your videos ❤ My HR freeze dryer is loaded up today with my home grown bell pepper’s ~ green, yellow and orange. Jalapeños. And sweet yellow peppers🤩 Life is good in Green 🪴🌿🍀🌱 Ohio 🎉
