Not sure if there is a lactose intolerant substitution for this one or not... but you might look for some "Manhattan Clam Chowder" recipes... it's based in a tomato broth... very different overall, but you might love it!
I love to meal prep. I stocked my freezer up and im slowly going through it. One of my nieces comes and gets some of what i meal prep and takes to work for lunch. I like ordering from butcher box. I had to pause it for a while
@@FromtheRootsUp I look at it that way also. It helps me not eat out a whole lot. I know when my mom was alive I would do two or 3 main dishes and take to her and then she didn't have to worry about cooking and she would do some sides for herself. And she wouldn't eat a ton of TV dinners. But when I did her grocery shopping I would make sure she had things she liked
I just threw away 2 full and a partial trash bag of everything in my freezer ( inside freezer) . The freezer shot craps 2 days ago and had we known there was a problem I could have saved some things but we didn’t. Can’t get service until July 17 so we bought a new fridge last night. So saddened about it because there was so much in there and a lot of it was just purchased.
Ive been staying clear of videos.And have missed you all. So, when I saw "freezer" I was all in 😊 And it's good to see this video. Oh, Happy belated Mother's Day and Fathers Day 🙇♀️🙇♀️
Sooooo sorry about the freezer loss 😓 I so enjoyed this video 😊 One thought… Will the Ezekiel bread stand on end to give you a bit more room? Hope that works 😃
Hi Kristy and sweet family! I know how heartbreaking it is to lose a freezer of meat, it happened to me before too. You did a wonderful job on clearing out your freezer and making some yummy freezer meals. I do like the convenience of freezer meals when I am busy. The girls are a big help. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed night!
I loved your video. I am making freezer meals for new parents. I’ve read so many things don’t freeze well or turn mushy. Do you have any tips on what not to freeze?
Home Depot, whats that? If I need a hose clamp, bolt or screws, whatever, I just get off one of my parts vehicles or from my metal scrap piles. You'll go broke going to the gov scrap piles, aka Home Depot
and your Lord has inspired bees to build dwellings and in the trees and in wath they erect , so follow humbly the paths of your Lord and eat of all the fruits from their bellies comes a drink of various colors , in which, , there is healing for people , indeed , a sign for the people who they reflect
This is the best freezer meal prep that I have ever seen! It is easy and we eat all the meals .we are 70 years old and we really needed this. Thank you and may God bless you
This is exactly the tractor/loader we have and we are needing to replace the seals. With your help, I think my husband will be able to do it himself. Thank you for a well explained and helpful video!
Gardens come and gardens go; it's wonderful to see them grow! Sowing and hoeing and working each row; but comes the time to take it slow! So thanks a lot for the video!!!😁
Speedy healing ❤️🩹 glad to see you back. I am lucky I have a lot of perennial vegetables and herbs in my garden as this year I have been weighed down and feel like I’m failing my garden but I do have those to rely on. The great thing is we always have another season. I’m trying to focus on being productive over autumn
Hi Kristy and sweet family! I’m glad Lance is doing better and I totally get those old injuries. My back is my culprit and it can really give me a fit. Sometimes other alternatives are better and I hope your container garden does well. I hope the girls enjoy growing in the green stalk. I hope everyone heals well. Have a blessed night everyone!
Honey! What a bunch of wacky! I understand; for different reasons, I had an awful Spring, too. I'm so glad that you're both on the mend and that you are coming back. My awful wasn't physical this year, but a couple of years ago, I was in the hospital for an adrenal tumor removal, so I kinda get it. Looking forward to what you guys share with us in the coming months! Prayers and hugs to you all!
My bee balm species is quite different. This appears to be wild Bee Balm. I have the Scarlet, often called Bergamot. The flower clusters are much more crimson , single bloom and the leaves are not Pencil Thin. There are many different species I have learned over the years the years
Hi Kristy and sweet family! My grandmother was a great teacher for us as children. She would take us walking in the woods and teach us about all the plants and uses. She always had a huge garden and fruit trees everywhere. Jewelweed is also good to have for poison ivy, oak and sumac. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed night!
What a blessing your grandmother was! I'll have to remember that about Jewelweed, Lance and I both are super allergic to poison ivy and it grows all over the place here!
