  • If you need a FAST and healthy meal prep solution you can rely on when you just don’t have the energy or time to manage a regular meal prep routine, having a few recipes that are already measured and mixed and just need to be cooked up on your stove top, in an Insta Pot or Crock Pot is something that anyone can do! You don’t need special equipment like an expensive freeze dryer or expensive food saver to get starter. I’m this video I’ll share how you can start learning to use dehydrated meals on jars to have delicious dry food recipes for breakfast, lunch or dinner ready in minutes without breaking a sweat (or the bank). These dehydrated dump and go meals are perfect for busy weeknights, camping, hiking or road trips. Let me show you how to meal prep meals that can still be considered “from scratch” by learning to dehydrate the easy (and delicious) way!

    A few years ago. While attending a convention, I took ingredients for a crockpot meal to have in our room, (along with snacks) . The aroma drew visitors, curious where we ordered our dinner. We also brought with us lunch items (eg.lunch meat sandwiches, friut), as hotel restaurants and room service were so expensive!

    I have missed you!!!! Yes, I always pack our food for vacations. I plan meals out before we go and pack everything we need, even my own pots, pans and knives. Some ask me, “why your on vacation?” Having those meals planned and canned is so easy, effortless & takes little time. Love these prepackaged meal suggestions. Definitely going to get in that bean dip asap. ❤

      By saving money where we could, even though others thought we were a bit odd, we were able to be debt free! Because of all of that, we made it through injury, layoffs, and illness. It has brought great peace of mind to us. We still stock up and garden, and we are building a greenhouse. This is our life, and we love it! We are more free than we ever envisioned. You are doing great things. Keep going!

I dehydrate food but we have no freezer. We also buy freeze dried food. Love your channel! You have a congenial personality. Thanks for your channel.

    • @BecomingaFarmGirl
      @BecomingaFarmGirl  Год назад +1

      Wow, Alice you are too kind. Isn't the ability to preserve your own food without needing a freezer just empowering? From canning to fermenting to dehydrating, and yes, supplementing with freeze dried foods you can get a truly delicious and well stocked pantry. Alice, I'm truly a home cook but I appreciate your words about my meals! Nothing "looks" better to me than homemade. Happy New Year!

    Yes girl. When we travel I pack tons of stuff. If there is a kitchen at the hotel, I cook all the stuff at home and travel with it. I put it in the fridge and just heat it all up when we come back in from our adventures. I keep it simple, breakfast sandwiches, spaghetti, salad, etc. There are five of us and it can get expensive eating out all the time.

    • @BecomingaFarmGirl
      @BecomingaFarmGirl  Год назад +2

      Yvonne, honey we are peas in a pod. While I'm pretty minimal when it comes to packing my (and husbands) clothing bags, its likely because I know I'll need all the room for my electric skillet, jars, coolers to take the remnants of any fresh produce or milk I don't want to expire along with our canned goods/meals in jars. I love trips, but honey the older I get I find that I only have gotten more stubborn about shelling out money for a meal I don't enjoy. Like you, most meals are simple and its always worth it.

    Happy New Year, Cassandra! I love your content. Including how to use canned items is so helpful. Made Carrot Cake Conserve over Christmas break. I get taking your time to enjoy Christmas break- I teach 4th grade and needed the down time and rest as well as time with family. Canning has offered me a way to have shelf stable meals and meal starters to make when I am suffering from "decision fatigue." Answering the "What's for dinner?" question is seriously hard when my brain is tired at the end of the school day. LOL

    I had hoped you were on a holiday break. (We all need them - hope your time was filled with joy). Thanks for all the great ideas! When I use my brake bleeder to seal jars, I def. have to use the technique Heidi showed as my hand strength is just not good enough to reach that PSI 20! (smile)

    Love my Cosori...so quiet! I hear many preservers are thrilled with their freeze-dryers, too. I love dehydrating foods...they are super-lite, super-easy, & fit in smaller spaces. Freeze-drying, is quite an investment for fairly old technology, so I'm just seeing how that rolls yet, but is on my wish list, for sure...closest to 'fresh, so far. (lol My phone does way too much not to expect finer life-techs otherwise.)
    Putting up Pantries should be a priority right now, & much thankful blessings sent to those who show good ways to do so. It's nice when 'lost arts' are no longer 'lost', yes? And these types of 'arts' make for excellent Homeschool projects. Win-Win-Win! Thank you, & Blessings to Continuance, Darlin'!

To save money, we prepared and dehydrated every meal ahead of time. All of our meals fit in one small box, and cooking and cleanup was easy. We ate well at every meal! I even planned desserts😊

    If you aren't making or haven't made quick beans from rosered homestead, try them. You cook any beans nearly done or just done -not mushy, still whole -dehydrate them and then use for really fast dishes since the beans are already cooked. Either alone, in soup mixes or meals in a jar.

    Yes! I love it when you make these videos! BTW, we lost electricity a couple of weeks ago and we still ate just fine because I had dehydrated shepherds pie in the pantry. You wanna guess where I got the idea to make that 😉
    I have mushrooms delivered from a local grower and I just made some uh - may - zing mushroom powder with homegrown, dehydrated ramps, garlic scapes, onions and herbs. I added nutritional yeast and it’s great even as a medicinal sipping broth or mixed with cream on some pasta. I’ll check out Thrive life, I’m doing a 6 month savings challenge for our freeze dryer but this will help in the mean time.
