Good morning Amy. I am 79 years old today and having a great day. Alone, but not really alone as long as I have God. I have had many days when I thought the evil was all around me, but I know who is in control. I really enjoyed this video. I finally used my new instant pot and made rice this morning. It got great. I felt intimidated by the instant pot/pressure cooker but I think I did ok. Have a great day Amy. Love and Prayers from PA. Arlene 💙🙏🎈
I love all your videos. My most adaptive meal was a Christmas with 14 people including 1 vegan, 5 vegetarians, 1 gluten-free, 1 dairy-free. It all came together!
Lots of awesome ideas!!!! I have found with the grapes to just cut them down into small bunches. With 4 or 5 on the vine. My kids will just grab a couple small bunches and it saves me time. With the eggs there is a trick when boiling. Once they have boiled you put them in cold water so the shell separates from the egg. The key is NOT to let them cool. I let them sit in the cold water for one or two minutes. They should still be warm but not burning your fingers.
Did you know with asparagus all you do is hold each end of the asparagus and start to bend. Where ever it snaps in half shows you what part of that stalk is good. You keep the top and discard the stem.
This is perfect 💜 we are in quarantine for 14 days right now with 7 of our 10 kids and I really needed the inspiration for some healthy food. Thank you!
I love your energy, I enjoy your videos so much. Living in Miami, life is so different, I truly enjoy getting down to what is important in life, family! This last year really reinforced that fact even more. Thank you for your down to earth content, you are a blessing in this complicated world.❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely loved how you did your vlog today❤️I enjoyed watching your food prep but I loved how the camera stayed on the prepping but you continued to talk. ❤️
A recipe my Daughter Zoe and I came up with at the end of the month before we had gone shopping. I put 5 pounds of Chicken and 1/2 a bottle of Poppy seed Raspberry Vinaigrette and 1/2 bottle of plain Raspberry Vingerette, a little bit of Beef broth, Garlic Salt, Pepper and Onion powder. Put it on Manuel for 25 min and let it do it's thing. My Family said it was the best Chicken EVER!!! The recipe that was whatever we had left over is now a stable in our Menus.
Good morning Amy. Great meal prep and healthy without realizing it. Love the idea of the rice n bean bowls. Today’s psalm did hit home in our world now but preserve and God will protect us. Look and seek God; He’ll be there for us and surround us in His love. Thank you for reading daily psalms and sharing your thoughts. Have a fantastic and blessed day too.
Greetings from Switzerland! Such a good idea to read a psalm every day., it helps to focus our thoughts. Thank you for your hard work behind the scene. I appreciate your daily encouragements. God bless you and your family greatly.
I would like to see how you heat the meals and how the portions are eaten. I know you can't really store freezer meals for a long time. Thank you in advance.
Good Morning Amy. It has been a while. Food prep helps so much. When I get home from the grocery store, I prep my lettuce, onions, whatever veggies I buy, etc. I try not to wash my veg unless I am going to use it. I find that they last longer when you dont wash them. Berries are the same. They rot faster when you wash them days before eating them. The Psalms are so relatable to all that is going on. Been praying certain Psalms for our nation, the leader, the lost, Gods people. Have a blessed and wonderful day. ❤🙏
I've found that if you soak grapes in a couple splashes of vinegar in cold water for a few minutes, it helps get rid of that waxy feeling on the skins of them. Some people don't mind it as long as they know they're clean, but my kids won't eat grapes if they have the waxy feeling 🤦♀️🤦♀️ picky stinkers 😂
I've recently learned that the 5-5-5 method is great, but the 4-4-4 actually works just a little better and the eggs won't overcook and get the gray ring inside! Not sure if yours do, but they peel slightly easier with the 4's method. But boiled eggs are good either way 💁♀️
The more I watch you ,the more you remind me of me some. Years n years ,cleaning, cooking,laundry, prepping ahead always. Lot of my friends n family used to tell me n still do ,calm down,g ff your feet,dont do all that. Well, who will? Difference is my husband dont really helps ,never did, he worked n cars . I'm still doing it ,but slower n tired now with 3 Grands n 9 all together here. Love watching though. Going down to do some laundry,quiet time ,kids in bed. Lol
When I do bacon my parchment extents up the sides and holds the grease as well .And I slice my bacon in half, its easy to handle that way. Blessings !!!
Thank you for the veggie tip, I don’t care for the taste of zucchini but I puréed it and put it in tomato sauce for spaghetti - didn’t even know it was there
Amy! Thank you. I do have to keep gluten free so I am very excited to see what you make for your guests!! Bless you! Love watching your meal prep videos. Thank you rather Psalm! Great encouragement.
Other Great Vlog Amy awesome prep on all the fruit and veggies and awesome way to make hard boil eggs I learn something new from you every day Thank you for sharing and Thank you for reading a verse from The Bible it awesome God Is Good all the time have an amazing night with your Family !!! God Bless
By the way we are doing Galatians right now. I just need to get into the habit of reading scripture daily. I like your idea of reading them first thing in the morning. Yay, I just made my bed!!! This morning is really really good.
Good morning, just to give you an idea for your celery the leaf in the middle you can use that to give excellent flavour to your sauce or soup. I’m French so sorry if I misspelled some words. Happy and healthy New Years
Thank you Amy. I needed to hear Psalm 12 this morning. May the Lord bless you greatly. I’m going to try putting veggies in my ground beef, looks and sounds good. Have a blessed day.
Thank you Amy. Yes, put our faith in Him, not man. We know what the Word says about how the world will turn away from what is Right and exalt what is wrong. It is upon us 😥. Again, thank you for the readings at the end of your vlog. I pray He will continue to bless you abundantly.
It’s sad isn’t it Amy, so we just keep on praying. He promises, he keeps his promise! Ok, so I’m putting that in my recipe box! The dressing mix with vinegar...looked yummy! TY
I'm glad it wasn't just me struggling getting those black grapes off the stems!! I did my grocery shopping and prep yesterday. I think I spent more time on the grapes than anything else, lol!🙂
Love the idea of chopping veggies into the meat mixture! ( my kids will eat veggies but a few strongly dislike certain vegetables this is a great way to get them in!)
I love making burrito bowls on black beans and rice...you can do beef or chicken its great with the peppers and onions! Thank you for your videos, I love your excitement about what you do. You have helped distract me during a difficult time in my life and helped me enjoy cooking again. 💖💖💖
Living in Ontario Canada this time of year grape and produce in general can get pricey! I defiantly freeze my grapes they taste great. Also I buy frozen blueberries especially if I'm using them for smoothies, baking or oatmeal! I do love to wash and cut up my veggies etc... For the week. I tend to use them more..no so out of sight out of mind. Like I have said before I'm an older empty nester but your ideas help me so much Amy. Thank you for such a kind and giving heart! Bless you.
I use them and love them. Takes a bit to clean them but it feels good to not waste. Our older boys do the washing up so it can’t be too hard to keep them clean. Just turn them inside out to dry before storing them to get them totally dry. Enjoy.
I have and have since stopped..I use a lot and they don't clean well and do mold .get plastic containers like I use and rewash freezer bags my 2 cents ;)
@@amymaryon oh kinda figured that! I live in Louisiana n everything molds no matter how hard you try! If it stays with least bit of moisture it molds! I’ll just keep using my plastic freezer containers like you use n my vacuum sealer! Thank you for information!
Good evening Amy.. hope ur well... I use ital dressing as a marinade too.🤩 let ur steaks set in it for a day or so.. if u ever have them.. ( rarely I do..cuz of the expense). oh was gonna tell u if u have a disposal in ur sink I put ice cibes dwn mine and it sharpens the blades.. and also put 🍋 and 🍊 peels to make it smell good.. ( if u have one or don't already know this tip..😍) like always wafchin how ur get all ur stuff done.. 😍 hope all goes well with ur company.. God Bless!❤
The fresher the eggs the harder they are to peal. I usually take in and buy eggs 2 weeks to a month b4 I'm going to make hard boiled eggs still have some stickers but mostly they peal a lot easier.
Are the wraps a new thing.becauae I haven't seen them in any stores I go to or is it maybe something from restaurants that got sent to your discount stores you shop?
Good 🌄 Amy! Cookbooks accomplished getting rid of more than a dozen - no money in them but many of Moms recipes in her handwriting I miss she's been gone 11 years. Have cookbook 1001 cookies , several still keeping. But. Gotter done😁 Peeling hard boiled eggs fastest easiest way put 1/2 dozen in sauce pan with 1/2 cup cold water shake 10 to 15 seconds shelll comes off so easy I was amazed. Try it😳😁👌
Good morning. I hope you had a good time with your friends. It was nice of Greg to help you stir all the vegs into hamburger. You have a fantastic tuesday and I will see ya tomorrow
Amy your making Sofrito as us Spanish culture to season the beef, chicken and pork,fish too I place in the any kind of beans & rice all taste 😋😋😋🧅🧄🥕🌶🍅🥩🍗🥓🍚🍲🥘😏😏QNS,NY
it's easy to find things gluten and dairy free....finding things soy free...yea..good luck!! as someone with a health issue where i shouldn't be having soy...yea..i read labels a lot!...yikes is all i can say.
It's me again...lolol I'm not into the whole 'healthy' thing. Gluten free and all that kind of stuff. But....we know a few ppl that are diabetic.so when I know that they will be eating with us...ill look up those types of foods/drinks. I make what my family calls 'death tea' because I use an extra amt of sugar. So when one of our diabetic friends are here...ill make tea w/o sugar. And Mark the container.
That Psalm really hit hard, especially with everything going on in our world right now. Praying for peace and safety for all of us.
Yes, perfect at this time🥰
I felt the same way.
Need your prayers for my brother in law, he has pancreatic cancer.
Meant to say more but just can't right now
@@sheiladay9730 prayers for him and his family. Much love.

If you have some paper towels folded in with cleaned grapes and blueberries it will help with the moisture so they stay fresh a bit longer.
Thank you for the scriptures. God bless you and your family.

Freeze grapes on a flat tray, when frozen put in a container and enjoy.
Also roll them in Jello powder than freeze it like sweet and sour grapes.
What great ideas. Thank you both. 💗
What are the cute seafood you had? If like to find them. Easier if I had name! 😁
@@dancieteague6854 They also work good in your wine to keep cold.
@@deannrose274 I only wrote about the frozen grapes. Sorry.
I would like to see how you heat the meals and how the portions are eaten. I know you can't really store freezer meals for a long time. Thank you in advance.
I will freeze for months sometimes. They will last
I love hearing youread from the bible,we need this so much nowadays. Thank you

Thanks for the reading, it is very timely for today.
Sometime it seems the world has lost its mind. But I trust that God has a plan in all the craziness.
It has since the beginning of time...look at so much in the old testament..it's been a broken sinful mess....yes trust in the Lord
It’s sad isn’t it Amy, so we just keep on praying. He promises, he keeps his promise!
Ok, so I’m putting that in my recipe box! The dressing mix with vinegar...looked yummy! TY

Have a blessed Tuesday everyone. 😃😃
How long do you cook your beans in the IP? I have a hard time getting them soft enough for my family.
I do 30 min on high without soaking them first. Natural release!
Do the beans setting on high and let them sit..for a natural release .if hard..do them again
I recommend soaking the grapes in a bath of water for at least half an hour. There is a lot of dirt you don't see.
Great tips TFS, I've never seen those tortillas you had,where did you get them?
At the discount store
Good 🌄 Amy! Cookbooks accomplished getting rid of more than a dozen - no money in them but many of Moms recipes in her handwriting I miss she's been gone 11 years. Have cookbook 1001 cookies , several still keeping. But. Gotter done😁

Hi beautiful God bless you
we're do you get your bacon.
Discount store it is from wholesale restaurant
Be careful with the spices. Many spices have gluten in them, and most times they are not listed. You can use the Gluten free app to help.
Yes i am aware now as you will see end of week 😊
It's me again...lolol
I'm not into the whole 'healthy' thing. Gluten free and all that kind of stuff. But....we know a few ppl that are diabetic.so when I know that they will be eating with us...ill look up those types of foods/drinks.
I make what my family calls 'death tea' because I use an extra amt of sugar. So when one of our diabetic friends are here...ill make tea w/o sugar. And Mark the container.
Seriously got! You make more work for yourself ?! Your kids are all old enough to eat the grapes and pull them off the vine themselves 😳😆😊🥰
This was for guests..to make them more presentable :)
