    My blog is ScratchPantry.com where you can find all my recipes!
    One of my favorite crops to grow are onions! Their flavor is incredible and I was so happy to get to harvest and dry onions from my own garden this year! I hope you try drying your own onions to stock your own pantry! Home preservations is one of the most rewarding things you can do! I hope you enjoy watching me make dinner!

    For two weeks solid I have made every effort possible to change our home from a commercialized home to place of homesteading. You are on in the background constantly and I've caught up on every one of your videos. You are now my mother. I'm old enough to be yours but whatever...THANK YOU! I can barely grown my own nails and now I'm planting, canning, buying chickens...you name it! You are a blessing!

    Dehydrating onions, garlic, or spicy peppers also works well if you put the front of the dehydrator against the window screen so it vents to the outside.

    Genius statement. "I need to start taking things out of my freezer, so I can start putting things in. For variety, for storage quality, for consumption, (the best part!)
    all great reasons that back up your statement.

    I saw this video last yr and so i decided to try dehydrating some onions....omg!!!! The flavor of home dehydrated onions are amazing, nothing like what you get in the stores. I then decided to do the same with celery, eqyally amazing. I will never buy store bought again. I even gifted my adult daughter, and my 3 adult sons, including my mom a small half pint of each. Then i started getting request for more!! They absolutely love them. So everytime we make a trip back home to Tennessee (currently living in Maryland) I always take them all couple jars of each.

    Remember when you’re harvesting or dehydrating or canning you’re not looking at the price you’re looking at the quality how clean it is and you know what’s in it and how it’s been growing. You did a beautiful good job lady bug do a happy dance jig

    Although it's totally normal, I can't help finding you so adorable whenever you say "My Husband" 😆😆😆 I don't know, there's just something very loving in your energy every time you say that and I have to say that I love it! 😆😆😆 Maybe I'm slightly living vicariously through you? I'm a few years shy of 50, never actually married (common-law partner only), so never got to legitimately call someone "my husband". Either way, I love it when you say it! 💜

    I love dehydrating veges. This year, I have been taking them to the next level and powdering them. Two sink fulls of spinach turned into a 1/4 pint jar of spinach powder. One tablespoon of that would be like a large plateful of fresh spinach.

      @@biteyfloofmomma7279 I can't unless we really add a lot. You can see it though. I put it in my eggs in the morning and I can see it but not taste. You could really pour it on in things like beef stew, or crock pot stuff.

    Broccoli has the same type of thing as the garlic where u cut it, the compounds marry and become so beneficial, but let it sit after cutting a bit before dumping Broccoli into any heat. I always cut Broccoli first and add it last.

I stated canning and preserving in 1972, I thought it was a lost art, I'm so happy to see you doing this and teaching this to get back to basics. 💕 from another Washington friend

    Great idea to dehydrate outside! I haven't dehydrated onion yet, but will definitely remember now when I do, so thank you!
    I have the same dehydrator, it's amazing, so much better than the nesco I first bought, hated switching trays so often, it's worth the price to just walk away and not think about switching trays, added unnecessary stress. I live in Wisconsin, I did with onions like I do with other plants and started indoors 🤦next year I'm hoping to be less dumb, still new to this lol we have had a drought all summer here, lot of bugs, only the people with a ton of experience have had success in the conditions, oh well, next year will be better 🤞

I had so many peppers and tomatoes come in at once that I had to come up with something other than eating and canning them. I have no idea what I'm going to do with all this dehydrated produce...lol...but I'm learning as I go.

      I’m late to game and being quite chicken about onions and garlic…even though I had a great harvest of both, I’m worried about the snake staying in the Sedona dehydrator that we purchased.
      Did you have any regrets after dehydrating these pungent smelling items?

    Is it just me or was the sound of the dried onions satisfying?

    I love your enthusiasm, you have inspired me so much. I am planning vege beds, herb tubs and buying a dehydrator. Thankyou so much. My seasons are the opposite to yours as I am in Queensland Australia.

    Sage on pork is good. Put it on pork steak and another spice throw into oven. Yum yum!😋
