Lynn, freeze your pasta for 2 or 3 days, then let it sit a few days to get rid of any moisture before storing. Freezing kills any eggs of those nasty critters that are in most grains.
definitely fall! I stockpiled during the pandemic, still using some things up but just made a list to fill in some gaps. I have a daycare so I don't want to be left without our usual staple items.
Fall!! It's my favorite season! 🍂🍁 I'm going through my house getting things ready to have a yard sale in two weeks, then it's fall decorating time for me. Thanks for sharing with us. Have a great week💞💞
We are still very much in the heat of summer here in Mississippi! 😰 I am so looking forward to fall as it is my favorite season. We still have plenty of vegetables in our home freezer so I haven't had much to do in the way of preserving this year. I *am* trying to look through things that I have and try to replenish the things I am low on. I enjoy your videos even though I don't comment! 😊
I've used tomato powder in recipes for years. Doctor it up a bit with Italian seasoning, Worstershire sauce, dried onion and garlic. Makes a great spaghetti sauce. I usually just repack extra powder in mylar bags to store the remainder after opening.
@@allthinghomewithlynn You can also use it as a tomato paste, say for Sloppy Joes. the powder will harden up like a brick, but no worries, still good to go, just pound it out like you would brown sugar gone solid. Our nearest grocery store is a 40 mile round trip, we live out in the desert, so you learn to stock well or you're going for a long ride for a forgotten item! 😁
🍁fall. It’s good to see you back again I have missed your videos. Regarding your question about dry mixes for the pantry. I keep cream of soup base for any cream soup, plus cream of chicken, mushroom, celery, cheddar cheese, potato and loaded potato, broccoli and cheddar. I also have the brown gravy, chicken gravy mix, I make the like Lipton onion soup mix, ranch seasoning mix, Italian dressing mix, and lot of dry rubs, marinade mixes, brownies, biscuit,pancake & waffle mix, a base muffin mix,cakes, cookies. They are so much cheaper and better for you when you leave out those large amounts of salt, preservatives, coloring etc. I also dehydrate rice for quick rice a roni and other uses, I keep dehydrated pinto beans after they have been cooked to make up quick refried beans instead of paying over $1 a can. I make my own sweetened condensed milk with powdered nonfat milk , sugar, butter, boiling water a smidgen of vanilla. I’m always experimenting with recipes so I don’t have to buy them from stores. I dehydrate vegetables, fruits etc, make soup mixes, pasta salad mixes. I’m wanting to get some of the freeze dried butter, eggs, vegetables and meats also. Those would really come in handy for meals in jars. Hope that gives you an idea. Be happy to share recipes.
Fall 100% Been high 90's here. I'm ready for fall. Do you have a video that shows how to vacum seal mason jars? I just bought a vacuum sealer and would love to know ❤❤❤❤ Thanks Lynn, have a great week ❤
Fall is my favorite time of the year too! 🍁I can potatoes only to use as fried potatoes for dinner or breakfast. After a long day at work, they are easy to pop in a frying pan and voila- quick fried potatoes. 🙂
I used to make mixes frequently when I fed more people. Homemade "rice a roni" and "hamburger helper" were popular. Also pancakes, biscuits, basic cake. I found I didn't use the mixes once it was just me or me and my friend. I do have my favorite seasoning blends that I've been making for years.
Fall / autumn is MY FAVORITE time of year. 🍁 I used to cook for 10 to 20 adults almost every night. That slowly changed until eventually it was just 5 to 7. And then my children started getting married ... now I'm by myself except I feed a friend almost daily. I'm still not adjusted from all the changes, but I think I'm getting closer?! A few years ago I started vacuum sealing dry goods like crackers and pastas into mason jars ... this keeps bulk purchases fresh since it take a while to get through them. I actually own a freeze dryer ... some things I like to FD and other things I don't. This was my first year NOT growing a large garden (I'm focusing on slowing down but want yo still have a manageable garden ... whatever that is!), so no big tomato harvests. I usually pressure can homemade tomato sauce, but your FD sauce reminded me that I can buy the organic sauce at Aldis in bulk and FD it :) Thanks! ❤ I think this is my first time here, so I'll subscribe. I hope to have a pantry video posted soon... probably within a day in the life video ... if you're interested! God bless, Joanne in SW MO
Thanks for being my new friend and I appreciate your comment. I would love to get a freeze dryer. That’s on my bucket list and wish list. I do not have a Pinterest or the pantry but a very simplistic and functioning one, but I could show it.😎
@@allthinghomewithlynn the freeze dryer is a luxury for sure. It was on my wish list for several years before I actually got one. Since I don't use it every day, I make sure to remind my daughter and daughters-in-law to give me things to FD for them. :) Anyway - have a great day!
Hi Lynn, 😊 I’m wondering what is it about Fall that attracts you and makes you want to transition into another season a month and half early.? I want to hold on to summer and it’s long daylight hours as long as possible. The horrid heat and humidity, I can do without. 😂 I love Autumn though; leaves falling and turning into warm golden and reddish colours. Crisp weather, slightly bundled up, sitting outdoors feeling the wind on my face, listening to its sound blowing on the trees, while watching the squirrels collect their food and jumping from tree to tree. It’s a wonderful and beautiful changing cozy time of year. Hope al is well. Take care. 😊
There’s something about fall that just draws my soul… I can’t explain it exactly but I have to laugh because around here in New Jersey. You were either team summer or team fall… Lol.
I would love videos on the topic of homemade spice and soup mixes! Tonight, I made a large skillet full of slider patties for a few days of lunches, and i mixed in a onion soup mix packet and thought surly i can make this. I'm with you in working on better simple ingredients.
My go-to books on this topic are: Make-a-mix-cookery by Eliason/Harward/Westover. They published volume 1 and volume 2. Make Your Own Groceries and More Make Your Own Groceries by Daphne Metals-Hartwig They are packed with good recipes!
HAVE MISSED YOU 😊 I'M DOING THE SAME THING AS YOU ARE REGARDING LONG TERM STORAGE. MY PANTRY IS ABOUT EXHAUSTED OUT, GAVE MOST OF IT AWAY, AND I'M REPLACING WITH FREEZE DRIED STUFF, ALONG WITH CANNED MEATS & FISH, SOME RICE. KEEPING A FEW CANS OF BEANS & VEGGIES FOR SHORT TERM EMERGENCIES ( LONG POWER OUTAGES). BUT THAT'S IT. MY SON AND I HAVE BEEN EATING A PHD. WE GOT OFF THE STANDARD AMERICAN DIET 19 MONTHS AGO. LIFE CHANGING...SO NO NEED FOR ME TO KEEP A BUNCH OF TYPICAL PANTRY STAPLES/ FOODS. ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS VERY MUCH LYNN. LOOKING FORWARD FOR THE NEXT ONE ❤
Life is definitely changing. I think for many in different ways. I know we in our household have gone through changes in the last 3 to 5 years, and now I feel like the next 3 to 5 years will be the same within, including more changes.
Powder butter is really not good for you. Most freeze dried are highly nutritious. Even though I own a freeze drier I still purchase commercial such as onions, broccoli, cabbage and the reason is those make the house stink while processing. Cannot freeze dry the carrots turn white so I still pressure can, freeze and dehydrate carrots.
