    You could store your granola in a 5-gallon bucket with a gamma seal lid, easy access and the bucket is opaque, so your kids might not be as snacky with it. And it will keep the mice out.

    Put your fresh broth/stock into ice cube trays and freeze them, then put them in a Tupperware or a bag and keep them in your freezer. That's how I keep my fresh chicken broth/stock ready to go whenever I need it.

    For “in a pinch broth” freeze some of your homemade bone broth in ice cube trays and keep them in a gallon zip top bag in the freezer. Works very well for tossing in dishes needing small amounts. For brown sugar, whip up your own by mixing molasses and sugar! EASY!!!

    Thank you Lisa! Though I’m a city dweller I do try to make all my own bread, cakes, etc. i don’t like Kraut, so that’s ok, but where I’ve learned so much from you Is with “things to do so’s not to discard sourdough “ I love your videos & could watch them all day. To see your kids learning so many skills is awesome! I used to teach & was appalled by how little my students knew about where their food comes from, how it’s processed, it was horrific! Except the Jewish kids, who are taught early, most students know nothing! (I always got lovely fresh challa on Fridays, I think it became a competition between the kids who could impress me most!) Even parents’ evening was great, Mums brought me bagels, falafel, African Mums brought curries & side dishes, just because I showed an interest! My colleagues were very jealous! Of course I had to respond in kind, so it was a terrific learning curve for all of us! I can watch your cooking, homemaking, antique shopping all day, I love it, thank you for sharing.

    Good morning Lisa. What a haul. Everything looks absolutely delicious. For Thanksgiving dinner, I believe I'll be serving some oyster stuffing with mine - a classic, delicious bread dressing with chopped oysters, a nice choice for any holiday dinner. It's loaded with the flavors you'd expect in a stuffing-lots of parsley, celery, breadcrumbs, and onion but with a little something extra special thanks to the addition of oysters. Oyster stuffing's a tasty treat to complement turkey, but of course can also be served with chicken, duck, or goose. And of course, I'll be using oysters from the Great Chesapeake Bay. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful Tuesday. 😁😁
