Pro tip for your deep freezers, get a small white board and dry erase markers and keep an inventory of what you have on hand. You can use hash marks for multiples and erase one whenever you use it. You can even switch marker colors every so often so you know what is the oldest. Helps avoid forgetting about an item buried at the bottom, and let’s you know what you have without digging around. Also, beef tongue taste exactly like pot roast, and it makes awesome tacos! Look up lengua tacos, that’s how it is spelled in Spanish.

@heatherwhite2788 3 года назад

It does have an unmistakable texture though! It definitely tastes like beef and is quite wonderful when prepared well.

@alinewright1093 3 года назад

Take pictures of your white Boards with your phone. To refer to of what you have when shopping or when you want to cook something

@elizabeth3405 3 года назад

Great idea ~ my freezer is white so I just use dry erase markers on it directly! Stays put until I erase it 💕

You really need a backup generator. It would be a tragedy to lose all that food during an extended power outage.

@oldcalir.e.broker9094 3 года назад

This lady is right. It is highly likely a power outage is iminent, given the political climate and severe drought. CA power lines burned to a crisp last year and half the state was literally without power in some cases, for weeks.

@wendycash54 3 года назад

I might add an alarm to mine. I accidentally did not shut the door of my freezer tight (I'm thinking something on top was in the way and I didn't realize it) and it was open overnight. Everything thawed, but luckily I caught it in time to preserve several things (frozen chicken breast I canned, frozen hamburger I fried and refroze, and we ate the steaks with friends) I lost 2 1/2 bags of food though.

@aspenram3885 3 года назад

Those chest freezers keep child air in since cold air sinks. I'm from an area that would lose power a few weeks every winter and the chest freezers don't need generators to work! :)

@lisatangen4213 3 года назад

I was thinking the same and wondering which generators are best. Are there any good solar generators?

@bill-chichi9701 3 года назад

@@lisatangen4213 It all depends on your budget. For portable generators I recommend Honda. Add up the watts of the things you want to run on the generator plus extra to prevent overload. A reliable Honda generator dealer can help you.

Chest freezers last a lifetime in my experience. My grandparents have to replace their stand up freezer every couple of years but I’ve had my chest freezer for over a decade now 😍 It’s survived moves and everything.

@sarahsmith9084 3 года назад

Our stand up freezer has lasted longer than that. We have a temp sensor hooked to a cell phone alert so we know if the temp starts rising...good thing because the door doesnt always close right. I love our chest freezers but hubby thinks they're hard to find things in so I individual freezer meals, frozen veggies, and hunks of meat rotated into our upright so he's more willing to throw something into the Instant Pot or microwave as it's easy to find.

I do a very similar thing with the peppers. When I package them for the freezer though, I put them in snack size bags and then put those snack bags in the gallon bag. This allows me to only pull a small portion out to thaw and use rather than having to break off or thaw out a whole block. Great job on the food processing! I wish I had been that organized and productive at your age :)

@AcreHomestead 3 года назад

Wow thank you so much! I love that idea! I am trying to find the balance between reducing my plastic consumption and keeping things good....

@sarahsmith9084 3 года назад

Plastic mallet. It makes breaking off a hunk easy and less plastic as a ton fits in a gallon bag.

@pollycurrier5380 3 года назад

I chop up peppers, spread them on a cookie sheet in the freezer to firm up, then put them in a gallon bag. I use them in my daily 8 vegetable salad and they taste great. I do this with anything I don't want to clump into a frozen mass, berries, roasted cherry tomatoes etc..

@sknap2728 3 года назад

I've used the snack bags (u can get reusable ones) specifically for roasted hot peppers and then add them all to a gallon freezer bag. Pull one out when needed. I also use the tray method for freezing berries then adding frozen berries to quart ziplock. I will rinse and reuse the berry bags. Freeze meatballs the same way, but I don't reuse those bags.

@ryon791 3 года назад

If you put them in snack bags, can't they be refused so you don't use so much plastic?

@emtee3098 2 года назад

If you want to maintain the crunch of bell peppers, just cook them from frozen. I dice up 3 different colors with spring onions & red onions and freeze them. I like to add it to my eggs in the morning & still enjoy the crunch up to 3 months. They’ve never lasted beyond that time so I don’t know if the texture changes further down the road.

@poodlegirl55 3 года назад

When I have too many cherry tomatoes I lay them out on baking sheet and splash with a little olive oil and seasonings and roast until soft and caramelized. I freeze them in small baggies and use with pasta, eggs. pizza, lots of things.

@questionmark9819 3 года назад

Having three freezers is essential for people who are growing their own food or buying in bulk. I bought a large catering freezer and it's great to have the freedom of knowing that if I make stuff or have extras, that I have room.

@jackiecastilleja310 3 года назад

New subscriber here! You can cook that beef tongue in a crockpot. Season with salt and pepper, garlic add a couple of cups of water or chicken or beef stock. Add an onion. Just cook it overnight. In the morning take off the outer skin. Chop the beef or use a couple of forks to separate the beef. Season to taste, make a Pico salsa with corn tortillas. These will be some great beef tacos! Rich and delish! I hope you will try it!

You have to try beef tongue tacos. Cut the tongue into about 6 pieces, cook in pot with water, orange slices, bay leaf, black pepper, oregano, salt for an hour. Remove the skin of the tongue, then return meat back to pot and cook until it sheds like pulled pork. Yum

@BrightestBlessings7899 3 года назад

I grow peppers in Canada. I start them on a heat mat in a warm room (65- 85°) , in March. In your area, I would recommend planting them out in the garden, after they have been hardened off for a week. Usually they have 6 to 8 mature leaves when they are ready to plant out. I companion plant to keep them healthy. Good luck. I love almond milk. Brightest Blessings

Edward Zarnowski, my apologies if the term almond 'milk' bothers you. It is only referred to as a ' milk because it is a substitute for mammals milk, which we should not be drinking anyway, and it does look sort of milk-like.

Cow tongue is delicious! I wasn't sure neither first time. But if you cook it for few hours, and then peel the skin is just like normal beef meat. I cooked with bay leaves, cinnamon, salt, pepper and a whole onion. And then I will make a sauce, or used for tacos, rice bowls... etc.

@poodlegirl55 3 года назад

I had two turkeys in my freezer and I thawed them and roasted them both at the same time in an electric roaster. I sliced them and froze them in small portions covered in gravy and we have been enjoying them. I also put the carcasses right back into the roaster, covered with water and cooked them for 24 hours and canned the nice broth. I can chicken breasts and beef chunks about every three months. Cutting meat off the bone to can is not super fun.

Standing is more convenient when it comes to digging out the food, but you cannot dump everything in it like you can the chest freezers.

@edsmith4414 2 года назад

Chest freezer ARE better about utilizing space than uprights. Plus they are more energy efficient: Every time you open an upright, the cold 'falls' out of it and is replaced by warmer air that has to be re-chilled....whereas it stays IN a chest model.

Cows tongue is possibly one of my favourite Deli type meats. It looks like you may have to skin that tongue though. Male a slit along the length and using a pair of pliers pull the “skin” (outer membrane) away from the meat. To cook roll up the tongue and put it in a pan that is a tight fit cover it with water and bake in the oven for an hour or two (it really depends on the size. When cooked drain off and keep the liquid and put the tongue back in the pot it was cooked in. Put a saucer on top of the tongue and place some weights on top so that the tongue is compressed leave in the fridge at least overnight. You can add the. Cooking liquor over the tongue if you like this becomes a jelly when cold. It’s really worth giving it a try. All the best to you and yours from Scotland. Rab

New subscriber here and I concur with Marie Parks... it is awesome to see a young individual take charge of food production and how you use it all be it you and your husband, the chickens and gifting... Blessing to you and your husband and what a bonus to be gifted those canning supplies. Continued success.

Cow tongue is a delicacy in France… my mom always put it in the pressure cooker then peeled the skin and some times we had sandwiches or a meat for dinner if she had 2 or 3… yummy love you show❤️

The soup bones could be used the make beef broth. All of the vegie parts could be used to make veggie broth. Same for chicken pieces you would normally throw out. Just boil with salt and pepper for a few hours and you have broth!!

Time for your side by side from spring to now, post harvest... Yes, I watched this again just because😄

My aunt makes beef tongue and it is a favourite with some members of the family. I used to enjoy it before I went vegetarian. She pickles it first then cooks it

Beef tongue is very expensive. You can cook the beef tongue in the pressure cooker. Remove the skin after it's done and it's all meat. You can make corn tortilla tacos and add pico de gallo, it's very good. In Mexican cooking we really enjoy that part because it's all meat.

A Food Saver machine and bags will help keep those meats and veggies longer. Great job on keeping stocked. Nice friend to donate!

I put an ad on Craigslist asking for free canning jobs and I was overwhelmed! The only thing I had to buy was these 12 half gallons.

Cow tongue is good . Put it in a crockpot on low overnight with a tiny bit of water, salt, black pepper. Drain in the morning. Peel skin off and chop it up. Make tacos with corn tortillas some salsa cilantro and onion .. yummy

With just a dab of any cooking oil ( even pam) you can stop the squeaking on your door hinges- spray or rub it in the hinges and move the door back and forth until it stops squeaking 😊 loooove the freezer tour!

Back bacon is also a great cut. Think tenderloin with side attached

Just a tip for lamb. Mix ground lamb and ground beef. Turn into a gyro meatloaf. Slice and use for gyros

Hi.. love your channel. It is my husband and myself and folks think that I am crazy that I preserve so much food and use my freezers. I just purchased an Avid Armour chamber vacuum sealer. What a game changer….the vaccum chamber sure has made my job easier. Continue to post great content.

I grew up on a farm & we ate cow tongue, when dad butchered. When he'd butcher a hog they'd cut the fat & skin off & fry it up, that was cracklin & so delicious. Down here in La. we always smoked our sausage, & mom loved hog head cheese. We cooked with the fat from the hog, which is called lard. We lived off the land & the garden & orchard as much as we could. 💜

Beef tongue is really good. It is like pot roast. Unfortunately, I have never cooked it myself. Worth looking into. The Russian lady that made it prepared it for a Christmas get together and she considered it a delicacy.

WOW! What a blessing to get all those canning jars for free! I don't do a lot of what you do as far as buying in bulk but what I DO do is make pot pies for the freezer often. Turkey, chicken and beef. I make my own broth and make some freezer meals by cooking extra and making one for the freezer. I used to bring my dad food often. He passed away last year and I've kind of stopped cooking so much. Lost my desire or something. I've been watching you for a couple days now while I cross stitch and have been thinking and planning on getting back to it and to try some of your tips and tricks. Also, my husband works at a grocery store so he shops for something on most days. He finds lots of deals and marked down things and I NEVER have to shop. I like your channel.

I'm sorry for your loss. Frozen pot pies sound yummy for the fall!!

If you've ever been to a Korean barbecue place they actually can offer cow tongue add a little salt and pepper it's so good. If you slice it very thinly and cook it similarly you may like it that's how I would eat it.

@pamkirkpatrick7534 3 года назад

For lamb, I marinate it in pesto. Then bake or grill. So good and hides the gamey taste a bit.

@elizabethshaw734 2 года назад

I have the same bag of pecans in my freezer. I could eat soup everyday! Tongue is delicious but you need to boil it to be able to peel it you've got to take the outer layer off. It makes great sandwiches sliced thin. I lived in the UK so we ate beef tongue and ox tongue which was called lunch and tongue. It's really good and you could look for recipes for New York deli sandwiches because they you make a lot of tongues sandwiches. I grew up on leg of lamb and it was made every year for my brother's birthday as well. I love it! I have lived around the world in eight countries and expanded my palate and my mind greatly. :-)

Omg cow tongue is delicious! Season with salt. Cook it in your crock pot over night with 1 tbsp of chopped garlic. Delicious with corn tortillas and salsa. Your husband wouldn’t even think it is cow

@marthaholcomb8148 2 года назад

Please, please, please try the beef tongue. I guarantee you will like it. Once you pressure it, let it cool just enough to peel the skin off. You can slice it like roast, so good. If it's the look of it, once you skin and slice it you can't tell it from roast. It is so much more tender than any roast you ever had. Be adventurous!

@dorothyzierk7985 3 года назад

Cow Tongue do you boil it then peel the outer skin off then slice it and it is good for sandwiches, it is very delicious.

@angelialou 3 года назад

Beef tongue tacos are amazing and a great way to try tongue for the first time. Thaw, then cook for a few hours in the crock pot with water and spices. Peel the taste buds off and shred the meat. Then warm the meat with all your favorite seasonings.
