Hi Guys, I don't usually watch these kind of videos but, you make it so much fun to watch. Mr. Reeve has become a Master taster, lol. If I was much younger, I would get into all the canning techniques. I have so much to do in this transition, I have no time for it. Your muffins look so good, I bet Mr. Reeve could have eaten a few more. I keep banana chips on have to snack on. Thanks for sharing
Don’t know if you have the space for it, but the carrots. I shred them, pack them in muffins tins to make about 1/2 cup pucks and flash freeze them. Then I store them in gallon bags in the freezer, for baking. I also cut them into small bite size chunks and can them to use in whatever cooking dishes I want them in. They are really easy to can up and other than the prep, they don’t take long.
Thanks friend. They should store pretty well for most of the winter in the cold room we have under the cabin. I think I definitely will shed and freeze some too. I really like you muffin tin idea. Makes it very usable. Thanks. 😊
This haul was so much fun to watch! What a creative and clever idea with the banana chip muffins. I appreciate how you also tell us what didn't work, like the onion jam.
Reeve is right you always do an amazing job doing price comparisons. Always appreciate that. Btw I found that extra Azure point section when I did our Azure order. Thank you! And I would love to see an episode on your muffin recipes. Val C
Bribing with a pear. I like Asian pears. Another recipe for onion jam is a good idea. Pickled carrots sounds good. Feel better Reeve. I got COVID and the only symptom I had was no taste for 2 weeks. Food did taste weird for almost 6 months. Carrot cake, muffins, salad, soup... Oh, muffins! I love Dr Bonner Rose soap. Spoil that man! He deserves it. Wish I could learn to like coconut cream/milk. I love potato curry but have to use yogurt instead. Sharp cheddar is awesome. Those muffins look great. Chrystal sure knows how to cook and save money. Stay safe my friends ☺️
What a great video. Loved that Reeve has so much fun with you while trying not to get in time out. Lol. You know what they say… Best way to a man heart is through his stomach!!! I believe that for sure!! Anyway funny thing is last night I found a recipe for pears of all things on the side of my jar box. I’m going to send to you. You guys may love it. It sounds delicious! You’re welcome Reeve! Lol.
Coffee IS a necessity in my house so no one gets hurt!! 😊 I seen an onion jam recipe, I decided it wasn't something I wanted to make. I'm glad you said you didn't like it. Dr. Bonner's in pharmacy is about 15.99 for that size bottle so what you pd was a decent price. Their scents are very light. Ms Chrystal and Mr Cookie Monster Mouse have a great day!
The only thing I found that the onion jam is good on so far is a grilled cheese sandwich. But I think I would like it better without the sweetness. That’s why I’m gonna try that other recipe. We’ll see how it goes! Thanks for the price check. 😊
I just love your honest assessments of everything! Very helpful, and really gives a sense that we all have "bombs & blessings" (as I like to call it) in this lifestyle. That's something I love too, is learning from (and supporting) each other. Azure is something I want to try so bad, but honestly, for our needs, we're self-sufficient in much of what we'd order. But I love their ethos, products and service, so I'll be shopping someday!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Those muffins look delicious. I love cheese as well. It's soooooo good. I wish azure would come to Canada. Just a goat hint. It seems such a shame to have that many nannies and only one kid. When it's breeding season, keep your bucks with them for about 6 weeks or even longer. They go into cycle but sometimes don't take the first time around. So if you keep the misters with the nannies they are sure to get everyone prego. It will make the boys really happy as well. I always kept my buck with the girls and he got all of them every year and sometime some got bred back about a month after baby. Just a suggestion.
I’m glad you said that. That’s what our plan was, to keep the buck in with the girls for the whole month of December. Last year‘s breeding season clearly did not work well. Thanks for the tip to leave him in there for six weeks. We’re definitely doing that. 😊
Great video! Have you ever thought about roasting your own coffee? Much less expensive and more fun! We’ve been doing it for years on a cast iron pan and love it. Nothing like standing outside on a brisk day and roasting ☕️🥰 Our favorite place to order green beans is from Deans Beans. They are organic and fair trade so that would align with your goals of eating higher quality things.
I got those #2 carrots, too. I canned some plain, canned some with honey and spices, fermented some, dehydrated some (coins and shreds), and ate fresh. The Canning Diva Dianne Devereaux has a pressure canning book with a carrot soup recipe I'd like to try. Think I'll try a small batch first to see if we like it. Sorry the onion jam didn't work for you. I don't think it would work for me, either. I eat bananas not quite ripe to very ripe without problem. We had some that we weren't going to use up fast enough, so i dehydrated them for our own banana chips. I also used one of the bananas with some cantaloupe and flax meal to make fruit leather. Our household works better with fewer starchy carbs and less sugar, so i try for things we'll like that work well for us. Our taste buds really like the sugar and starchy stuff, but we are making the effort to reduce those. Having the sweet fruits like banana or cantaloupe dehydrated (or canned, as i did with some of the cantaloupe) in smaller servings gives us chance to have a taste without waste.
Hello friend! I have a carrot ginger soup that I love and can. Let me know what you think of Dianne’s recipe and maybe I’ll try it. 😊Have a great week friend.
@@meganlalli5450 Ask and ye shall receive my friend! I made a video 😊 How to MAKE and CAN CARROT GINGER SOUP - Homesteading Alaska ruclips.net/video/GTVFFt00TKI/видео.html
They are soooo good! You made a great point about the nuts. They definitely add the crunch that a nut provides. Hopefully I get a chance to make that video about the muffins in the next few weeks.
You're a Genius! I'm so trying out your banana muffin recipe, I've been wanting to order them from Azure's but we don't really eat them as snacks, but I would certainly use it that way! Thanks so much! 😋 also love the interactions with you and your hubby, y'all are so cute!
Awwww! Thanks friend! I’m actually working on the muffin video today where I take one basic recipe and make five kinds of muffins out of it. That banana crunch muffin is in there too. It should be up in a couple days. Happy baking, friend.
The cost breakdown in the description is great. Have you put the buck in with the girls yet? Only one kid last season, not good. Hoping for a better kidding season next spring for ya’ll.
Hey friend, can’t tell all my secrets before I post a video. Ha! Actually, putting the boys and the girls together right now would be really bad. It means that we would have kidding season when it’s still freezing cold out and snowing. We were so sure that our plan was gonna work last year, but alas. The year before last we didn’t plan very well at all and had everybody had babies. Last year we tried planning and ended up with one. So we’re kind of going for organized chaos this year. Starting December 1 will put all the boys and girls together for six weeks. Then babies will come end of May through June. Most of the snow is melted by the end of May, so it will be warm enough. 😊
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska With goats it seems everything is.....how did you put it...organized chaos! 🤣😂 I know y’all have a good plan in place, so wishing all the best.
I'm here for the snacks 😂 I tried to get those half gallons but they sold out darn it. Wanted to pickle eggs in them. I'm excited about the next onion recipe you're trying. Im so glad that the electrolytes are helping Mr Reeves. I did find a beer based mustard recipe that sounds interesting but yay in so glad you ended up liking that one. That dr Bronners is great for stain pretreatment. I use it all the time. Love you friends! Great haul and I need one of those muffins 😂❤
The brown bananas have the highest sugar content! If you like sweet that is the best time to eat them! Unfortunately we have been brainwashed into thinking that only yellow bananas are good! Go Mr Reeve! No one in my house will eat them so in the freezer they go for smoothies or bananas bread! I definitely want the recipe for muffins!
On the cheese I got the raw cheese not the organic and it was amazing. For me them best part was the the fact that it has all the natural enzymes. It took me 2 months to go through 5 pounds and I was making a ton of cheese soups!
Maybe that’s why I don’t like the brown bananas. Yellow bananas are too sweet for me already. I’m definitely going to do a muffin video and I will make sure one of the versions I make is the banana crunch muffin. I also plan on making another muffin idea. “ lime in the coconut” Muffins. Mmmmm
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska that sounds so good! I just made a pumpkin bread the other day and now will use that recipe for muffins. I like muffins so much better size wise they are a better serving and they freeze so well! I can also cook them in the toaster oven and save propane! I would love a recipe that is basic and I could add different things to make it like blueberries or pumpkin or bananas.
@@Mindy56743 I usually make a double batch, then freeze them, so Mr. Reeve can take them out two or three at a time for coffee. He’s going to be super happy when we do this video because I’m going to make at least three different varieties maybe more.
Even though I live in Northern Pennsylvania, I think I might have some southern blood in me! I LOVE COLLARD GREENS! But those leaves sometimes are tough and I have some arthritis in my hands. So stripping the stalks is hard. I always wanted to be a stripper, no wait, that's another show, LOL.... I also chop up the stems for soups! Waste not, want not. I wish that they made something to take the strings off of celery! I love watching you and Mr. Reeve. You make my day! Thank you for all that you do. Daisy is so adorable.... OK I'm babbeling, just call me brook. lol
A few years ago, I canned broccoli stems to add to broccoli cheese soup. Everyone just eats the florets and tosses the rest. Couldn’t let it go to waste. 😊
Have you done a video on soap making? I have super sensitive skin so I would be interested in seeing how you do it. Also, it would be super exciting when you get enough milk from goats to see you make any type of goat cheese. Please and thank you.
Hey friend! I likely won’t do a soap how to, but I may add it as part of an other video. We do have a few goat milk product videos: farm cheese, butter, cheesecake, cream separating, and caramel sauce. If you are interested in any of those let me know and I can drop the links for you in this comment stream. 💕
