    If you soak your Pyrex glass utility pan in really hot water that has about 3/4 cup of baking soda dissolved in it then use an SOS pad to get that baked on residue off so the glass will be all clean again. Nancy in east Texas, long time vintage Pyrex collector

    One of my favorite childhood memories is coming back home from playing in the snow, getting into some fresh dry and warm socks, and drinking hot cocoa. So this scene at the beginning really pulled at my heartstrings

    I found my children were more likely to eat the wild rice if it was mixed with white rice. I would then top it with meals that had a lot of texture.They enjoyed the rice they loved and didn't notice the wild rice. I also ground the wild rice and mixed it with my flour to make muffins. They got the goodness without me having to fight them to eat the rice.

    • @lattelolly6925
      @lattelolly6925 Год назад

      I do the same thing in adding a little wild rice to our white rice. About a 1 to 6 ratio. There is also a wild rice blend I buy to do this with. Makes your rice look a little fancier. 😉

    Wild rice combines with white rice really well. Less wild rice to more white rice. Then it can be very tasty. You do an amazing job with your meal preps! I only use wild rice in a rice blend. The wild rice is a very small part of the blend. (Your chickens would probably like to eat your wild rice.).

    • @ninmindy
      @ninmindy Год назад +11

      Yes this is what I do too! I try to give the wild rice a head start cooking , then add in the white rice.

    • @janicecraig2364
      @janicecraig2364 Год назад +14

      Agreed. Three cups white to one cup wild to introduce the flavours. Then slowly raise the wild rice ratio to a comfortable level for your family.

    Wow did that bring back memories. My Mom always made hot cocoa on the stovetop using cocoa powder, sugar, and milk. My siblings and all the neighborhood kids would come in freezing cold from playing in the snow. We would load our boots, gloves , hats and scarves at the heat vents and drink rich hot cocoa. I’m 56 and that was so long ago. What a nice memory!

    My grandmother lived with us and taught me how to cook. She always cracked the eggs into a coffee cup to smell before using; also to make it easier to dig out any shells. 😇

    I love the real life cooking, using up the leftovers. We look in the fridge and create from what is there before breaking into something new. Also Jessica, for the steak fajitas , if you put a half a teaspoon of baking soda into the marinade for a half hour before you cook any meat, you will have the most tender meat ever, works with all meat. I learned this from an Asian cooking show. You will be amazed how tender the meat is and it does not have the awful baking soda taste. Love watching you in your element.

    It makes my heart happy to see your children cooking with you from an early age. Not only does it make cooking more enjoyable, it’s teaching them how to cook which is a precious gift to them. They also benefit greatly from the confidence and self-esteem boost helping you in the kitchen gives them. Children naturally strive to be helpful (well, most days-some days they are the complete opposite 😊) and their faces light up when they can help and they’ll be proud of themselves all day long.

    Wild rice chicken soup might be an easier way to get the little ones to enjoy the wild rice. Since it’s less concentrated in the soup it’s not such a big mouthful of the rice which can be bitter. Enjoying the challenge as always!!❤

    • @Dangeresque_2
      @Dangeresque_2 Год назад +3

      Also be sure you rinse it really well, it gets the dusty bitter flavor off somewhat.

    • @Darci.
      @Darci. Год назад +1

      That was my thought as well. I add it too many soups and some stews. I found that pre soaked wild rice helps with the bitterness too. I also pre cook it for many dishes. For example, a mix of cooked wild rice, nuts, seeds, veggies, dried fruits, with lots of herbs and seasonings. This is great a versatile mix I’ve used for stuffing birds (I know, controversial). I like to add sausage to it for stuffing into winter squashes or other vegetables. And that’s easy enough to turn into a delicious vegetarian or vegan option for some of my family members as well. 😊

  • @Micah6-8walk
    @Micah6-8walk Год назад +1

    I'm going to guess your kids' dislike of wild rice could be from having it crock pot cook for hours, which turns it mushy. An unpleasant consistency for adults, too! I stopped doing rice based crockpot recipes for this very reason. Wild rice is best a bit al dente when the nutty flavor shines through. I love wild rice mushroom soup. My recipe calls for butter for rich flavor, but obviously that wouldn't work for your family. Maybe coconut cream substituted instead? Your kids just might take to that to use up your wild rice. Good luck and don't give up on this delicious food just yet!

    Maybe try cooking the wild rice differently that recipe probably had too much liquid for a crockpot meal . My friend cooked wild rice for me once it still looked like wild rice and it had the texture similar to steel cut oats . I bought one that was a blend of brown and wild rice that may work better as well. P.S. Happy 43rd Birthday Jessica!🎉💜

    Wild rice burgers. No clue if you read comments on your old posts, but there are some great recipes around that incorporate wild rice with some binding agents that you can serve on a bun or just as is with some sauce or condiment. Your corn salsa maybe? You can season it any way you want. Do a taco or chili type, or an Asian inspired one, or mild yellow curry. Can add grated veg into them like carrots and zucchini and celery (anything, really) and just do herbs and some tasty fats like bacon or pork drippings. Patty them up and freeze for later use for busy nights. I like them especially well done when the outside gets a little crisp.

    @Stinson.Homestead Год назад +4

    Good morning! Another great video, as always. About the wild rice, we do not enjoy eating it in plain, but.....I learned to mix about a fourth cup of wild rice to white, saffron or other rices and it really makes it so much better. I also put about a fourth of a cup in chili or various soups, stuffing, savory muffins, cornbread (already cooked), salads and whateverelse I can think of. Wild rice is a bit pricey if you buy a lot of it at once, so I try not to waste any of it. I can buy a big bag and it will last a long time because I use a small amount in whatever I'm making. It also helps young ones get used to the taste and texture of it by eating small amounts of it mixed into other things. I can honestly say that we have learned to love it when added to other foods. You may have already thought about these things already, but wanted to share just in case. I hope this helps. Blessings to all of you! 💙💙💙

    Lovely inspiring meals! Thank you, Jessica, for putting this challenge together. This is my second year doing the challenge and I have found such joy in cleaning out and using up food that I've preserved. There is just the two of us and sometimes paring down recipes so we don't have a week of leftovers is a challenge. I mostly cook from the heart and don't use a lot of recipes. At 80 I feel I've banked enough recipes that I can put something together and make it work. I use a lot of broth as a base but I love freeze-drying my broth. It is so much more convenient for me. The jars of broth are heavy and I've learned that I can freeze dry and make it easier to lift and use. Each tray hold a quart of broth and two trays of broth fit into a quart. Thanks again!

    🎉Happy Birthday Jessica.
    I only had 3 1/2 hours of sleep, but after a real struggle to learn to get UP @ 6:45 and improving health, I was wide awake and ready to see what you were up to for the week. I'm inspired to use up carrots that are okay but not great for a Wacky Carrot Cake and Carrot Spice Waffles, both egg free. I love this challenge.

    I forgot! I sometimes make a purple chicken soup with forbidden rice. Wild rice would probably be good, too. It's nothing fancy, carrot, onion, celery, chicken, broth if I have it, otherwise water, herbs to fit my fancy and the equivalent of the juice from a lemon, and the rice. Sometimes my pantry meals are illness-driven, so I just roll with it. You could stuff a pork chop with the wild rice and mushrooms if your family is open to that sort of adventure. Extra applesauce on the side!

    I always make a grain mixture and everyone really likes it as it has some bite and never sticks together. I do a quarter cup each of basmati rice, wild rice, quinoa and pearl barley. This will feed two to three adults so scale depending how many folks turn up!

    💚 Happy Birthday, Jessica! Love this vlog, and seeing the children playing in the snow and drinking hot chocolate brings back memories of my childhood in Wyoming. Love the Carrot souffle idea and watching Hannah reach to her brother's plate for it 😅. Stay warm and safe in this weekend weather. 💚

    Maybe just put a tiny bit of wild rice with the white rice to use it over time. Thanks for the video!

    Being from Minnesota, wild rice is very common and loved. It’s actually a native grass. We recently moved to Missouri and it’s difficult to find. I use it to make a casserole or soup. I also add some white rice because wild rice is expensive. If cooked right, it offers a lovely nutty flavor with a slightly chewy texture. Yum! Now I want to make some chicken & wild rice soup. 😊

    Precious that they spoiled you on your birthday. So sweet.
    I’ve made a boxed version of long grain and wild rice mix. Add your wild rice with some white rice and brown it in a skillet with some butter. Then add some powdered chicken bouillon and some water or chicken broth, bring to a boil and cover and lower temp to simmer until water is absorbed.

    We use our wild rice combined with some brown rice to make a delicious cream of wild rice soup. We use plain almond milk to make the soup creamy. ❤. Thank you for your wonderful videos! 🥰
