Hey Amber! Season's greetings! What a wonderful haul. Apologies for dropping off the radar, life got a bit hectic these last few months. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas🌟🎁💖
@@makingendsmeet hello!!! Seasons greetings!! I understand that life gets hectic. How have you been otherwise? Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas as well!!!
@@MamaToAll Thanks so much Amber. The weather is super hot right now over here, but we're doing okay. Fortunately the kids are on their summer school holidays for six weeks so we get a break from the school routine which is nice. Hope you're doing good too. Have a lovely Christmas!🥰
@@janicerhoades8851 yes I was not expecting to go to a food bank but to my surprise there are quite a few that are running extra hours and days this week. I was very happy with this one. Merry Christmas!!!
That's okay sweetie.There are many people who are together in the comments section and that counts for something.. Keep smiling and have a merry christmas.❤❄️☃️🌲
Save and freeze the stems to use as your homemade yogurt starter. Five per quart of heated milk and incubate as normal. Just something to help in struggle times or worse.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Great idea to dehydrate the peppers. Don't forget to save the seeds from the red ones since those are the most mature for the garden. What will you do with the English cucumbers since they won't stay crisp if canned into pickles?
@@bettyir4302 thank you and yes that is a great reminder!!!! Save the seeds. As for the English cucumbers we will just eat them fresh as is and in salads. I will use some in my pasta salad for Christmas. 🎄
If you need a recipe to use some peppers, we do a cream cheese, sausage stuffed mini peppers. I brown sausage, mix in a think of cream cheese. Cut peppers in half and stuff with mixture. I bake at 350 until bubbly.
I really wish that I had a dehydater. I'm actually going to look into one after the first of the year. I would really like to make my own seasonings. I would also dehydrate pineapple for my daughter and grandkids. I'm sure that I could come up with many things that I could do with it.
@@BeckyCreger-vs5ce having a dehydrator is a wonderful thing. I agree that you should check you local thrift stores and also look on marketplace as I see them posted there as well, I received mine as a gift and it gets used quite often.
White asparagus is grown so it doesn't develop chlorophyll and stays white. It gets dug up before it grows up through the surface of the ground. As soon as the tips start pushing up the soil they carefully dig it up.
Hi Amber.Merry Christmas to you Guys.Love you so much.Hope that Kattie had a great Birthday.I hope she will like her Birthdaypresent.who I sent.Please let me know🥰
@@BeckyCreger-vs5ce I thought for sure I wasn’t going to find one that would be open but to my surprise there are quite a few open this week. I chose to go to this one.
I have three birthdays this month my third oldest brother is December 13th and my son's birthday is December 19th and my dad's birthday is December 26th . We do one very big birthday party for my third oldest brother and my son and dad all the sometime, I make all the birthday cakes and decorations all to. My third oldest brother ask me to make him a homemade vanilla cake with whip cream frosting with fruit and my son asked me to make a homemade buttery pecan cake with cream cheese frosting and my dad asked me to make him a homemade pumpkincheese cake for him. We had all three birthdays today I got up at 3am to make all three birthdays cakes with my three daughters and my daughter in law help and on top of doing all the cooking and baking too.
@@shawncooper7086 you understand the December birthday struggles. Very nice of you to make all the cakes. I like how you all celebrate them together on the same day.
@@dianethisltlewood4327 hahaha he just likes to bark…. It’s the most annoying thing ever because all he does is barks non stop. It’s my sisters dog Mr. Pickles and he goes everywhere with her. And Barks everywhere he goes.
Careful with mangos. People who are allergic to poison ivy may also be to mangos since they are cousins. It is the layer between the peel and the fruit that causes the rash. If they bite into a slice and their lips touch the peel their lips will get the rash.
The white asparagus is considered a "high end" delicacy. It is usually quite expensive.
@@finnsfrolic4328 oh nice!!! I’ve never had it but we will now!!

Very nice food pantry. You should try to attend both on Saturday and Sunday. Happy Birthday to Katie. Merry Christmas to you and your whole family.
Hopefully they only allow one day to give a chance to others.
@ No I mean attend the one on Saturday and the other one on Sunday
@dorisdonnelly9669 But you mean one week apart from each other though?
Happy Birthday Katie.

They are great at preserving fresh vegs. My vegs turn dark even if they're blanched but they taste just fine.
Try local thrift or ask friends if they have one you can borrow

@@monaramsey2752 I’m sorry to hear that.
Our food banks are going to all be closed for the week because of it being the week of Christmas.
