When I pull them out of the freezer I put them in a colander and rinse them off and thaw them at the same time. Just my own personal experience. Especially with the wild native Maine blueberries.

    I LOVE that you're not letting that person get to you! LOVE IT!! You know people put value on so many different things in life so they can afford other things that are more important to them. YES, you may spend $5.99 on a family size bag of chips. But she may be spending $60 on a Jeffery Star Eye shadow Palette, or not buying TOP TIER GASOLINE like some that you might not NEVER EVER would. So people who even have the kahunas to remark on those things just shock me! They can't be so ignorant to realize that. Right?? I mean you've stated so many times all the years you weren't able to afford Healthier foods. But now because of learning different ways. Budgeting, and of course WORKING YOUR WAY TO BECOMING more financially secure, you can!!!
    That old saying..... people who live in glass houses...... You know what I mean. It just really irritates me because NO ONE KNOWS what really goes on in anyone else's home OR BUDGET!!! LOL!!!

    For those who think the Late July Tortilla Chips cost too much, Doritos cost the same amount at Walmart. Gosh, I am 57 years old, and I have never had children. I am in awe of how she does it all. From a husband to a baby still in diapers, homeschools her kids, has a You Tube channel, cooks every day three times a day from scratch, active in church, has cows, chickens, land, building a house, has parents on the other side of the country, in law on the other side of the world. Her family is healthy happy and thriving, I don't think she is bothered about the relatability of a tortilla chip.

    Hey Sarah… I live in Berry country in British Columbia. Blueberries are the absolute easiest berry to process.
    I like to wash mine before freezing, but some people don’t even do that. You do not have to poke a hole in them. When you freeze them, it burst the skin, so it perforates it. Then you can dehydrate them straight from frozen… If you’d like to have them on hand for muffins in the winter, you can simmer blueberries for about 20 minutes or so add a splash of lemon and some cinnamon and you have blueberry sauce. You can can it or eat it on pancakes, yogurt, lemon loaf, or anything else. If you don’t have time, you can simply wash the blueberries and pack them into jars andcan them. Add a splash of lemon and a little cinnamon if you want. Blueberries can be water bath canned so you do not have to pressure can them.
    That’s probably more than you wanted to know, but I did want you to know how easy they are to process. So the kids can even prepare them for the freezer or pack them in jars for water bathing. Enjoy those blueberries!

    One of my kids loved eating frozen blueberries straight out of the freezer. I would buy them when in season, wash, dry and flash freeze on cookie sheets before bagging up in freezer zip top bags. He could have a bowl of frozen blueberries year round that way. The quality of them when frozen and fully thawed is not great, but having frozen blueberries on hand was also great for smoothies or baking blueberry muffins, coffee cakes, etc.
    It makes sense that your grocery budget has gone up for a couple of reasons: grocery prices are going up around the world, not just the US. My friends in Canada and Europe are paying way more than we are. Also, as your kids are getting older, they are eating more. Even with two of them living away right now, you're feeding more teens and young adults than you used to, so the food doesn't go as far. You're doing a fabulous job of feeding them quality foods that keep them filled longer, though.

    Costco also has business stores that specifically supply commercial endeavors but any Costco members can use them. I have found good for many things in larger sizes that regular Costco does not carry, example- boxes of very wide lasagna noodles and nacho chips . Also, ramen noodles are easy to make if you have a pasta machine, the nests of noodles freeze very well and are handy if you discard the flavor packs anyway.

    I make my own apple chips, just slice some apples thin lay them on their side, I don't even seed or core them, lay tgem on parchment paper on baking sheets I even place them kinda sitting on the side, it doesn't matter, I sprinkle with cinnamon, on both sides and put tgem in a preheated 225° oven then check and flip them in an hour or so, it takes about 3-4 hours depending on how thin they are, I store them in a ziplock with a moisture absorber..... yours probably wouldn't last that long, but it's a thought. 😊 when we go pick blueberries, we have them in abundance, we wash them, tgen let them slightly air dry and put them in freezer bags, they are delicious to just eat frozen in the summer or add to yogurt or ice cream..... also blueberry lemonade is delicious, just crush a handful or so in the lemonade. .... yummm
    Thank you for sharing, I always ❤ all your vloggs!

    We love Late July! They never go bad, cleaner and guest always comment how good they are. The kids love them and their expectations for chips are higher so they don’t buy “cheap” snacks when out. Freeze blue berries whole. Frozen blue berries are the bomb in lemonaade

    On the you tube channel the cross legacy she states storing your avocado with your lemons keeps both fresher longer. I freeze blueberries for use in smoothies, sauces, muffins, pancakes. To keep fresh longer in fridge I store in a mason jar w/lid and they’ll keep for up to a month

    I pick fresh blueberries in the summer to fall and freeze in quart freezer ziplock bags (4Cup) You can do in gallon size if you have room-:) I do not rinse in water but I do sort through I with a tray with a cotton dish towel, rolling them around , as I sort through them helps to take the dust and other that might be present. They are great to have in the freezer whole through the winter season. Can use in pancakes, make pies, muffins, put in smoothies, kid s like to eat , as well as I think they are a nice frozen treat😃👍🏼 these are just a few ways so many ways😃👍🏼

    Wash and dry your blueberries and put them on a baking tray, don't over crowd the pan. Put in the freezer overnight with tinfoil ontop. Then you can move them to bags or however else you would rather freeze. They're fantastic that way

    Your bananas and oranges are so pretty. I eat a lot of those 2 fruits. We have fruit trees here in Arizona most every house. This year the grapefruit s were so good and the oranges. One of our neighbors had excess. Lemons and put them in a box every day. We use a lot of lemons and these were as big as an orange but I don’t know the name of them. Sometimes the lemons are so sweet I eat them like an orange. I haven’t seen banana trees but I buy. Them I only eat them green and yours look so good. I’m 77 and did I say I love fruit.

    I’m late-but you can can whole blueberries!! Just fill a jar with them and top with water. Super simple and great to have on hand for baking without taking up freezer space. Can also dehydrate (no freeze dryer here) but you have to dip them in hot water to pop them first. Hope this helps!

    Some easy applesauce you can make yourself is literally just putting a bunch of apples into a pot and cooking them down. You can add some cinnamon if you want, we do some with and without. My mom uses baking apples and then will add in a few Honeycrisp per batch to make it more tart. I think ball has a recipe because we also jar it.

    My youngest daughter and I go to the home of an older couple, who are good friends of ours, and pick about 20 lb of blue berries from the 30+year old bushes! I leave have of them in a flat on the table and let the kids snack on them until they are full. The rest I place in 5lb bags , suck out the air and put them in the deep freeze. They keep for easily 7 or 8 months. . . I just don't know we ever had any last that long!

    Blueberry jam is my favorite and I make about every kind. You don’t need to poke them to freeze them. We pick our own so I don’t wash them them before them before I freeze them. Someone will be against that but that’s ok. We are all fine here.

    I have frozen blueberries several times! I don’t poke a hole in them. I usually just pop them on a tray to let them freeze then put them in a bag once frozen (this method helps them not stick together in the bag). Sometimes I cover them in yogurt and put them on a tray, freeze them, then break it up to put in a bag. My kids love eating them frozen both ways! I also use them for smoothies and overnight oats.

    Also- blueberries freeze dry and dehydrate well- store in a jar. Your family will consume well under the 6 months I recommend ( dehydrated) ( freeze dried- forever) unless you put in an air thingy to keep moisture out. Enjoy!

    Have you ever tried adding applesauce to your bread recipes? I totally forgot I used to do that with every loaf of bread I made. It truly made it so much softer and Moist! ESPECIALLY for wheat breads! Never tried it in sourdough.... but it kinda makes me think? LOL!!

    I totally understand that food prices have gone up all over the world! I am from the UK, and they definitely went up a fair bit here. I also understand that some people struggle more than others, but at the end of the day, I wouldn't be getting mad at what others are doing with THEIR MONEY! To be honest, you are trying to project your feelings or situations on to them. Doesn't mean this lady isn't relatable!
