- Today is another busy day in the kitchen finishing up the last of the canning and making some yummy meals. We are having French toast for breakfast and Chicken enchiladas for dinner. I'm also pressure-canning up some beef and making cranberry sauce. I hope you enjoy coming along with me.
Thanks for watching!

A hint for labelling: I print and laminating tons of labels for my regular canned stock. I hole punch and put a rubber band on, and slip ot over the ring. I re-use the labels and it's very easy to pop it back onto a new batch of jars. I store the labels in an empty jar in the section where I store the batch.
Great idea!
Great idea. It might actually help me keep up with quantity
Genius!!! I'm going to try this!
I don't use labels but permanent marker. Just write on the lid or on the glass. Easy to remove after the contents are used.
Love the idea of reusable laminated labels on the rubber band ♻️
I’ve canned 1,254 jars of food this year, so far, and I can’t calculate the hundreds of hours I’ve spent in the kitchen doing so. Today I had to debone and skin 25# of chicken thighs and then can them, and now I have to make the stock tomorrow (with a few other carcasses) and can it on Sunday. It’s a labor of love that sometimes feels like a labor of torture, but having all this food puts me at ease.
I can carrots with a tbsp of onion soup mix in each pint and they are absolutely delicious.
I just hit 1000 yesterday! Go us!!😁
I’ll try the carrot trick and let you know how it goes.
Tha is for the carrot tip, doing some tomorrow and I’ll try that!
Well done! I need to get up off my lazy bum and join y’all. I’m growing carrots now. I’ll add onion soup mix to my grocery list ❤️
What also helps with the carrots is to gently fry them
I'm at almost 700 but still have whole chickens to cook and can, stock to do, I have 150lbs of carrots to do, one more roaster full of apples to turn into juice and can, need to do more peas, corn, beans, more kidney beans, potatoes, I might do the pickle coleslaw a small batch to test. ohhh and a pile of beef to do yet and ground pork I'm gonna do as won ton meatballs in wonton soup broth * we do it this way with ramen noodles instead of won tons **
If I were canning dry beans I would wait until it gets a bit colder. That goes for meats and anything that was put in the freezer to be processed after the bulk of garden processing. Not only is there usually a little more time but it is more energy efficient. Because canning produces heat, doing so on colder days can reduce your heating costs a smidge and if you heat by wood the canning puts moisture back in that very dry air. It isn't going to save hundreds on your electric bill but every little bit helps.
Yep! Beans are always my February canning project
Re: your garden and carrots, you know exactly what you are getting. Can’t beat that.
white posca paint pen is the best for labeling, it goes away with hot water when the jar is empty, easy to clean.
So convenient and no chemicals in your food you can’t pronounce, as in labels of food. Great job, you are a joy, and thanks for sharing your videos.
I've always wanted to can, but have been honestly terrified of killing my family with botulism. I finally researched enough and spoke with a friend who is 75 and has canned since she was little and I dove into the deep end. Started this season with strawberry, blueberries, and blackberry jam.. went on to banana peppers, some tomatoes, and string beans.. finished with applesauce.. can't wait until next year and am grateful for the confidence and knowledge I've gained. You're an inspiration and I do appreciate how thoughtful you are in reference to teaching us newbies!! Much love!!
This makes me soooooo happy! Good for you!!
Chelsea...do love your videos...I am 70 now..still garden (downsized a bit over the years) and freeze most produce now..made soup last evening with frozen chicken broth, spinach, cabbage, celery, carrots, potato (not frozen), onion and white beans...piece of good bread and it was the best on a cool evening. I remember the days feeding my family (4 sons)...but, the old ways continue...they are comforting.
Thanks for sharing. There’s a wonderful feeling that comes from watching an example of homeliness, warmth, food and family.
My hats off to you mama! I can the food but my mom is the gardener. I barely have time to do the canning and watch my grandson 2x a week! I cant imagine gardening and raising kids and canning plus whatever other chores you do. Gardening is hard and you really have to love it. I love the IDEA of gardening. Lol
Your honesty is why I love watching you!!!❤ I wish I still had your energy or your moms, as I am turning 60 this year and have really bad arthritis in my knees. If I could grow half the garden you have I would be happy!! I live in Maine so our growing season is short as well! I also only have 10 acres of land to work on!!! Keep doing videos I am so enjoying them !!! Take care God Bless you all 🙏🥰
I'm exhausted now. Who else is exhausted now?
Wonder woman Chelsie in the kitchen, wow!
You have inspired me to start running now. I used to MANY years ago. It is addictive. I miss it, but I'm older, so it will take some time. Maybe my dog will help by dragging me home LOL.
I know I’m exhausted.😉
Thank you so much for such a kind comment. Wishing you a wonderful day.
Tk u for letting us visit w/ u in ur kitchen. For me, food prep, whether it's cooking a meal or preserving it for a future date, is one of the highest displays of love.
Canning dry beans is a great time saver. The French toast looks delicious 💥
When I can dried beans, I put about 1/2 full of dried beans, add 1 tsp salt, fill it with boiling water leaving 1 inch head space. I pressure can for about an 90 minute.
If you still have your not so favorite canned carrots, use them to make a carrot soufflé. So delicious and it’s almost like a dessert.
We like to mash, dry a little in a pan and add butter and black pepper.
That's a good idea!
You can also hide them in smoothies, most people wouldn't even know they are in there.😉
My eyes are extremely sensitive to onions. At work one day I was given the task of breaking down an entire CASE of onions. There was a portable fan blowing behind me, forcing the fumes away from me and as a result, I didn't cry one tear. Quite a good solution.
We fry up ground beef, add shredded cabbage, season and then serve it with rice. Simple and delicious! Thanks for all the ideas and recipes 😁
Can you share your seasonings? I need more recipes. Thank you! I love cabbage but sometimes I struggle with what to season it with for a change up.
@@cbass2755 Try breakfast sausage (US) crumbled up and browned with shredded cabbage. Mmm...
I came to your vlog through Jessica at Three Rivers Homestead. I love the videos she makes and now I've discovered you as well! Thank you for sharing. I love to make soups, casseroles, or just cooked meats to feed to homeless, (I used to be homeless, so I know how cooked food can be) and seeing you make large portions will help me. Thank you, again. 😀
Welcome!!😊
Congratulations on finishing all your canning, what a great job. When I was feeding my large family, basic recipes were better. Especially when you have picky eaters or small children. Now that it’s just the two of us most days, I have had such fun trying different recipes, cuisines and techniques. Now that it’s not a chore, it’s really a joy.
I cook or brown all my beef and chicken prior to pressure canning. It holds its shape which I fine better in cooking some dishes. Otherwise, raw packing for my soups or other dishes that require shredding. I love having both on my shelves.
When I make enchiladas I use corn tortillas or I make my own sometimes I like the convenience of the pre made ones in the cheese section they have
Great job on the boards Dan, make sure you are able to drill a hole in that pantry floor for the water to escape as well, teach all of us on your next video as to how you did it. Thanks Dan. 👍👋
For a nice different taste on French toast, try French vanilla creamer instead of milk and cinnamon
When it's available I like to use Eggnog for French Toast
I love whole cranberry sauce(or jelly) on toast any time of the year. The tartness is 'eye opening' for breakfast.
Love your kitchen ❤️
You make it all look effortless and delicious. 🤗
Beautiful sun rise..loving how beautiful your pantry is looking..❤️
Good morning Little Mountain Ranch. That l😊😊ooks delicious - the perfect family supper for a cool Autumn Saturday. Thanks for sharing and have wonderful weekend.
Yes that steam canner looks great!
Love your videos.. glad to see Dan. More please!
This were burritos here in the states. But I'm going to try burritos with enchilada sauce next, it looked yummy. Corn tortillas are what enchiladas are made with here. Several people serve a Mexican slaw with their food, I think they just do a regular slaw recipe with salsa added. It is delicious. Thank you Chelsea for sharing all you do it's inspiring. Smiles and blessings...
We really love a good mexi coleslaw with our enchiladas...equal parts mayo and sour cream, add some fresh cilantro and a diced up, seeds and membrane removed jalapeno or two, some frozen corn, sometimes we add black beans to it, and instead of sugar, use taco seasoning. Its delicious!
Loved it.
I heard that if you put the onion in a microwave for 30 seconds it won't make you cry saw it on food network. Also to get the onion smell off your hands when washing them give your faucet a rub with your hands, they won't stink of onion, works great. Nancy from nebraska
Hello Dan! You guys are a great team!
Love your kitchen!
Very good video ma'am. Thank you so much for sharing.
Great cooking ideas; thanks for sharing! Many blessings to your family 🤗❤️
THOSE SANDWICHES SOUND YUUUMMMYYY!! Good to see Dan. You work so hard ♥
All the food looks delicious 😋 😍 😊 🙂 ☺️
You are great and have so much energy!! From Aztec, NM.
Dried carrots are good to have on standby ❤
I think you were the twin I was supposed to have in my life. I cook outa need but don’t care for it. Simple recipes that go for more than one meal is best. I love to garden, but feel the same, it’s way easier to buy at the store. I gotta plant my garlic today. I’m late too. Enchiladas looked great. I add a splash of vinegar to my slaw to help it break down/digest better.
Cabbage is actually a really good textural element for quesadillas and tacos and could work if you season it with a little salt and some of the seasoning used for these foods it will soften just a bit and be really worth it once it's baked. ❤
Amazing lady ❤️ Thank you, friend
she is so genuine, simple and just beautiful.. real life. love it
Cranberry and orange peel is fantastic.
God Bless you and your family
I add cinnamon as well as vanilla to my French toast. It's Yummy!
I was raised the same..we grew it..we ate it...but just think in this day and age of all the chaos..you and your family will be fine because you have an extensive skill set of growing your own food..preparing your own food..and surviving
When we have enchiladas we have salad on each plate, preserved, and I top it with salsa and sour cream. It’s yummy
Your energy level is on point! I’m jealous.
Great video, hi from Ireland 🇮🇪
I made the Cole slaw this year and we are really enjoying it. We were so surprised at how crunchy it is
slicing/cutting onions with a very sharp knife helps reduce the "juice" from expelling it and throwing it in the air making your eyes water 😊
I love turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwiches too!! Lately I’ve been “ dry canning” my carrots and prefer them much more than canned in water
Intriguing. I’ll look it up.
You have inspired this elderly lady to start Bulk shopping and I too LOVE ready made HOME MADE FOOD 👍Thx You ❤️
You are so welcome!
When my family makes French toast, we also add cinnamon to them. Super yummy. I rinse my onions with a little water to cut the eye watering. My dad always claims that his coleslaw is always better the next day, too. 😁
Such of great videos. I live in Modesto, Ca. I watch you husband work together. God bless you and keep up the great work. Chao! G
Thank you for sharing planting garlic. That is on my to do list this weekend in Iowa. I have never been successful, but no venture no gain😊!! Will try again, and hope for the best.
Love the tips on lids and stacking jars for storage most RUclipsrs don't mention that. 🍲 Just wanted to add to mention read stove manual on burners not all are best for canning for temperature and coverage of the pan/pot on the burners. 😇
Sure do love watching your videos. Your videos provide such a sense of calmness & peace. Blessings to you & your family!
I’m so glad! If there’s one thing this world needs more of right now it’s peace and calm.
Beef and deer meat I always brown first before canning. There is so much water in meat. Love your recipes❤
Such Yummy food.
I make my coleslaw the same way, only I make a sauce with the mayo and sugar but I alo add apple cider vinegar to it as well. It is so good that way
We just finished supper, which was spaghetti, and we had garlic toast. We always have garlic toast with pasta. I'm originally from south Georgia now living in Alaska. Everyone I know eats garlic toast, too! This was a fun video. I just discovered you last night. ☺️
Side salad or my favorite out of all coleslaw
Yep !!!
dinner looks yummy
Your comment on how labour intensive it is to grow your own food, store it and clean and wonder if it is all worth it. I have had this thought many times and it’s nice to hear someone else say it out loud. Yes it’s hard work and saves money and is healthier but how many years can a person keep up this physical labour. I believe we do it more for others and not so much for ourselves.
I think you're right - I also think it's kind of just become a habit with me. I can't really imagine doing it any other way.
I laughed at 12° being quite warm! I’m in Queensland Australia. That is a cold day in winter for us! Summer days are in the 40° range!
Love quesadilla
Parts of B.C has gotten to 40° degrees in the summer as well. It gets hotter then haidies here, and freezing cold in the winter. Like -20 to -40 or more in some parts of bc. It's great fun. We got it all!
As I take off my rings I just go ahead and mark the lids. I keep a Sharpie in my canning lid & ring bins. It has helped me greatly so it know what is what
I haven't tried canning beef yet but I canned chicken, raw pack, no water added, and it makes its own juice and it tastes better than the store bought canned chicken. So good! I want to try raw packed beef and see how that goes. Thanks for all the great ideas of things to can. I love how you multitask.
I love black beans as a side with enchiladas
Love your videos! I’ve had great chopping masses of onions and then vacuum sealing them in one and two cup batches & freezing. They are a huge blessing for fast meal prep
I keep mine in gallon freezer bags. Once chopped, onions don't really stick together so they're easy to use straight from the freezer. I also go through onions quickly enough they never have time to develop freezer burn.
Coleslaw is also nice with some grated onion and apple.
Good video. I laughed at the not labeling - I have had to make an effort to do the same...lol. I picked up quite a few bags of cranberries when they were on blow out sale after Christmas and made juice, jam and sauce out of them. So nice - I like to eat by self too or on ice cream. I made a bunch of Cranberry walnut zucchini loaves too - soo good. This year I got a bunch of highbush cranberries for juice and jelly. You had a very productive day! Good job.
I love canning all year but winter is definitely my favorite time to can!! I'll let the canner hear the house so the furnace doesn't run as much!! We have just moved and will have a big wood stove for heat now so that will be lovely!
That’s a great idea!
for french toast I also add a few sprinkles of sugar and a lot of cinnamon and I don't soak my bread because I don't like the Soggy insides and it tastes great and everybody that's tried it has really liked it the secret is vanilla though and you're a very busy lady
Spanish rice, or rice cooked in tomatoes and green chilies. Mexican corn (corn with green chilies and cream cheese) Mexican Corn Bread Corn bread with corn, green chilies or jalapinos and cheese. I live in the Texas Panhandle and we eat a LOT of Mexican food and Tex-Mex food. One of our Fav's
But the condition and cleanliness of home grown food is worth it!!!
Great video 😊
I love pickled beets, it is a vivid childhood memory. We add clove to ours. I'm generally not a fan of clove except in pickled beets. Yum.
Curtido is a type of coleslaw that is served with some Latin American food, so serving coleslaw with enchiladas doesn't seem strange in that context. I like to make an enchilada casserole by layering like a lasagna, saves time and energy but isn't as pretty.
I enjoy all of the videos I've watched so far also learn a lot from the comments section as well which I think is a plus. All your meals look delicious. I have never had enchiladas before as there are some combinations of food makes me gag. One of these days I will try it. I notice that the older I get my palette is changing and I find that some things I balk at eating I find that I really enjoy them the first time around.
The comment section is so great! Nicest group of people here. Welcome!😊
I love canned beef.
I like topping my pulled pork with coleslaw.. just adds that bit of crunch and the flavours mingle together well.
Same! So good.
I love homemade cranberry sauce, so much better than store stuff. I also can cranberry cherry sauce which is good enough to use as jam on toast. I've burned a candle while cutting onions and that works also.
I ser a fan next to me to create a cross wind. Also if eyes are actively burning from onions, I just lean over top of open flame of gas stove and the heat helps dissipate the burning quickly.
I really enjoy your videos. I, too, have often thought it would be easier to go to the grocery store, but by growing my own I know how it was grown and handled. I know that there were no chemicals. Yes, it's a process, but like you I enjoy it until we get to this time of the year. I'm getting tired.
Yup, I feel that.
Shredded cabbage with salt, pepper and lime juice is a Southwestern side down here in Southern California.
You are an inspiration! I haven't canned meat yet, I will to do some soon.
Let me know how it goes!
Found your youtube just a few days ago and i am hooked 😂 thanks for inspiration. Greetings from the woods in Sweden 🤗
Welcome!
There are so many things I want to say but keep forgetting them by the time I get to the end of the video. But….I do really love your videos cause I think most of us can totally relate to it. You are so down to earth. We eat a lot of coleslaw during the winter since like you we don’t go to town often to have lots of fresh on hand. Tonight we are having pickled coleslaw, canned pulled pork and homemade buns. But I might have to make your enchiladas soon. I have never made them before cause I am kind of a wus when it comes to really hot things. But yours…..I will try. Ok enough cheers 🌷
I canned 3 pints of Italian sausage, 6 pints tenderloin and 9 pints of plain pulled pork today. It was a long day. I can my foods at my Dad's house. He has a gas stove. It was the first Time I had a full canner. I started pressure and water bath canning last year. I canned gardenira a couple months ago. It has a little sweetness to it. It still tasted good, but I prefer a little bit of vinegar bite. Have a wonderful day. Another awesome video. Thank you for sharing your everyday life with us.
That all sounds amazing! Good for you!
Hey! Great video as always. Usually I add an apple to my coleslaw, it adds another dimension and minced garlic for those who loves it.
You can also make some sort of canned cabbage salad. Any vegies like beets, carrots, peppers, onions, garlic, celery, all combined salted first for couple of hours, than squeezed and put into jars. Covered with marinade of water, vibegsr, sugar.Than water bath canned for 20-30 min. Veggies remain crunchy abd almost l
Cheers from Toronto
All sounds so good! Hey from BC.
Like the crannyberry sauce
One of my neighbors in the 1970s was Maurice Stevens. He was retired, drove the school bus. He still kept a few Jerseys. If I gave him wide mouth gallon glass jars, Maurice would charge me 80 cents a gallon, delivered. My fondest memory of him was Maurice frantically beeping the school bus horn and shouting for me to come out of the house and remove my Toulouse geese from the road. He had school children to deliver! My twenty geese were having a standoff with the bus over ownership of the road :-O
We raise grass fed beef. I have wanted to try canning chunks of beef. Also chicken breast. I have a 915 All American canner. There are only three of us on the farm, but I often share. My neighbors like to trade and I also enjoy making up gift food baskets. Chelsea, I am new to our channel, but so far, your foods are almost the same as what my Grandmother Hazel taught me.I just made her green tomato mincemeat.
The stores in New Hampshire are now loaded with fresh cranberries. I am putting bags of them in the freezer every week. I love homemade cranberry sauce and cranberry cornbread. How many children do you have and do they follow suit with your and Dan's lifestyle? Learning the New Hampshire Old Ways was the best gift my grandmother and her sister-in-law Annie could have given me. I do enjoy cooking. My best friend had 8 children and lived on a farm in MN. I would help her form time to time. I can see where it could be a challenge, if you had to come up with recipes and nourishing meals 24/7. I try to cook ahead when that is possible.
If you have an email address I can send you photos of our 3rd generation farm. I don't use Facebook or other platforms. Thank you for sharing your day with us! ~ Diane
The best part of wearing contacts, your eyes don’t water when cutting onions. 😊
Just came across your channel. Nice to know you are also in central BC. So many homesteading YT videos are in the USA, which is fine, but we live in BC. We are not of the same faith but we appreciate your lifestyle. We are spirit filled Christians. God bless your family. Keep up the great work.
Welcome, neighbour.😊
Would love pickled beets recipe.
My canned carrots were bitter:) I canned hamburger today, I like the convenience.
