Sometimes little changes go a long way to make life easier. Why not have a bit of fun along the way.
I am not sponsored on these items:
36 Quart Deep Fryer:
www.cabelas.co...
James Marchini's Book:
www.amazon.com...
The recipes for these two dishes were published in a Better Homes and Garden magazine many decades ago. I no longer possess the original copies, however, have made them so many times over the years that I basically have them committed to memory.
PECAN CHICKEN
4 chicken thighs with Skin on (rinse and pat dry)
1 Cup of Crushed Corn Flakes
1/4 Cup crushed pecans
1/4 Cup of honey
1 TBS Yellow Mustard
1 TBS of Spicy Whole Grain Mustard
1TBS of Paprika
Cooking spray or olive oil
Mix the honey, mustards and paprika together. Dredge the chicken thighs in the mixture than coat in corn flakes. Repeat this process coating the chicken twice. Place on slightly greased baking dish/ sheet. Lightly coat with olive oil or cooking spray of choice. Bake at 350 until juice run clear. If topping begins to burn, tent with tinfoil until chicken is cooked through and reaches 165 degrees on a thermometer.
SPICED CHEESY POTATOES
For every 1 potato (sliced thinly) you will need 1/2 tsp of the following spices + 1 Tsp Olive oil:
chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, & thyme
Salt and pepper to taste, a dash of cayenne (optional).
1/4 Cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 Tsp diced green onions.
Slice potatoes thinly and coat in olive oil. Then rub on spices coating all sides. Place in slightly greased baking dish or foil pack. Cover with foil and bake @350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Remove foil, cover with shredded cheese and green onions. Continue to cook until cheese is melted.

@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 4 месяца назад

Hi there ALONE ❤ I made it back for a video at last 😂👋👋👋🇦🇺🤗 still not out of the woods as I'm in the middle of packing up house as I have to move. Sheesh. I'll send an email explaining abd catching up in the next 2-3 weeks when i find time. This was a delightful way to start my day 8.30am Sat 23 Mar '24❤ Thankyou for your resilience and good natured humour that sustains you in living your best life in your beautiful Alaska. I remember living like you are doing back in 1955 as that was LIFE for most farmers back then in the Sth Island of NZ😅. There were 9 of us , 7 kids. Dad made a clothes drying rack likr yours that was on a pulley in the kitchen wgere the coal/wood range was. The kitchen was tiny with table for eating at andxas there ws no bench space i assume mother used the table for food prep. We also had the old mangle or wringer as we called it. There was an old corrugated shed that had a free standing old bath in one side with cold water only to it, and on the side of the divide was the "laundry" ,with an old copper that was heated by fire that would heat water for washing abd wgen needed to disinfect sheests toweks etc the fire would be stoked to brong water to boing and whatever needed disinfecting was placed in the boiling water directly in the copper. Every thing went onto the outside clothes line first ( weather permitting) and then into the kitchen to be finished off or aired. So much more work back in those days to do EVERY job. NO trips to the shops in those days plus we didnt have a car ,only the big farm truck which was a cab with a long wooden deck behind it you could load a tractor on the back of it. As kids we'd sit on it up against the back of the cab and get splinters in our bums 😂😂😂Can laugh at it now 70 yrs down the track!!! Imagine such practices nowdays .😂😂😂 and yet we all survived it. Parents lived til their 70s and 80s and all 7 kids are in their 60s and 70s now. "Its a great life if you dont weaken" was a favourite saying of Mothers. LOL Til next time my lovely, stay strong in the Lord and the power of His might. May He keep watch over you, protect & bless you as you follow His will for your life. 🇦🇺🤗🙏💞👍👌✌️👏🤣✝️🇺🇸

What a show! Airing your dirty laundry, Nosey hairy bearded guy (neighbor?), and daily chores. Lot's of creativity went in to the making of this one! Enjoyed it.

We have not gone through as much wood either. Here in MN in our part of it, we only have had 9 inches of snow this winter. Apparently we are going to get nailed on Sunday and that's okay we need to precipitation. You keep safe and as always good blessings.

@paulakelly563 4 месяца назад

Cardboard is great for all sorts ! Insulating a pet kennel, a emergency door mat, Paint tin spillage mat or in your truck as protection while carrying all sorts . an seat on a cold step when having a quick coffee😁. Just flatten the boxes and store neatly after the garden mulch use , Enjoyed your video , keep up the good work . Great progress 💫😊

Alone...since it's almost time for you to start getting packages, maybe add to the next video some things you can use or might want from the lower 48. Love this video. You are a pioneer woman of the first order and there's always so much to learn watching you!!

@patlockwood6207 4 месяца назад

Loved this one. I love to watch you do your daily things. Yours is my favorite channel. The mad scientist beginning was hilarious. Making you a man, huh? LOL Someone to help with the chores? He'll be more trouble than he's worth!😉 Yes, the peace and quiet is wonderful. I envy you. The scenery is priceless. Thanks, Alone, so much.

ACK! Love this friend, but WHOOP, you really have to put a warning in the beginning about the flashing lights, some of us can't handle that medically!!!!

@Sarahdrybones 4 месяца назад

@DebNewton-kh4cv 4 месяца назад

I have to look away…can’t handle it. But great video anyway ✌️👍

@livingintheforest3963 4 месяца назад

True!!!🚩

@MichelleRichardson-b6i 11 дней назад

My mum has grandmall epilepsy thankfully modern tvs have anti strobing technology so it doesn't trigger seizures, one of the best brands are Samsung and jvc. Also to combat flashing lights you can go into your settings of your TV and change the white background strength in contrast mode which also reduces strobing and background flashing, hope this helps lv from England xxx

Gosh, I just love your mental state. I want to move in! lol. I too am dreaming of moving to Alaska, in fact hubby &I just got back from Alaska last week, fell more in love with it! I find your videos of cost of living, unexpected costs, etc super duper helpful! Keep your positive attitude, it’s so delightful and I feel I can relate to you on so many levels!

@lisaogg6337 4 месяца назад

Hi Alone! It's always a great day when you upload a video and we get to see what you have been up to! Great idea to hang your laundry over your freezers. Your dinner looked delicious! As always you make us laugh. Another great video! See you on the next one!

@shirl6558 2 месяца назад

Alone. My first visit with you. Your channel speaks to me & who I am. Enjoyed you & your video very much. So good!😮

@LazyDaisyDay88 4 месяца назад

Maybe use some of the cardboard to line the back of your truck? It could potentially absorb any water spillage, depending on how much you use.

@D.J.R63 4 месяца назад

I have really enjoyed seeing how you live. I am 62 we are moving to remote country to retire. We have had an off grid little cabin that we use for a get away. It’s a lot of work to live off grid. You do a wonderful job. ❤❤

@NORMANMORRISON1940 4 месяца назад

To make my house more secure I made all my outside doors open the opposite way so they can't be kicked in once a dead bolts are locked it's very secure and that's not Liked here in BC because if a fireman tries to get into your house it's really hard because they can't kick in the door but I prefer it that way

@douglassmith5414 4 месяца назад

Hey, I love your channel. I laugh and learn, you're funny. I just found you today. The 1st video I saw, you talked of how you used to say, I'm moving to Alaska...". Well, that reminded me of myself. I'm too old to start from scratch now; but I still would like to visit Alaska and prospect for gold nuggets someday. I've watched others start there own offgrid channels and grow into RU-vid Stars, I hope you do too. You're strong and I'll have to keep watching because I haven't learned your name yet. Have a great day tomorrow. Doug

@michelleellis8201 4 месяца назад

Hello Alone 😊. This is one of my favorite videos of yours in recent months. So full of information on chores and daily life. It is amazing how much work you have to do there living alone with no one to help with the tasks that need to be done. Also, when I think back to the beginning of your videos it is amazing how much progress you have made inside the cabin! You are an amazing woman and I appreciate you sharing all you do with us! Take care! 😊❤️

Best video I’ve seen on this channel in awhile. I love to see how YOU live In Alaska (home improvements, chores, preparations, etc..) not a guide on HOW TO live in Alaska. I’m never going to live in Alaska so I live through you. I love everything home and house related lol😂

@lynsmith2698 4 месяца назад

So nice to see you. I think of you so often. Since seeing your neck knife, I have been talking about them. So James bought me one for Christmas, it’s a little different than yours but equally as handy. Every time I see it I think of you. Great video 🌷🇨🇦

@LisaMarguijo 3 месяца назад

So tranquil and beautiful. I'm learning so much from your videos. How to be self-sufficient. Thank you for the time you put in these.

@jen4him72 4 месяца назад

Just one of the things I really enjoy about you and your videos is that you do not do anything half-assed lol. From preparing to move to being prepared for every situation to how you put together an edit your videos, you do everything with excellence! I am in awe of you. You truly are an inspiration!

@captaincrustyradio 4 месяца назад

I had forgotten how much trouble the water totes are. My son and his wife lived off grid for 19 months on their 14 acres. Before he put his well in he would fill untold amount of totes here and take them to his property. Salute to you, that is a real pain to have to do over and over with no end in sight. I retired 3 years ago and am working on something everyday. Now that I found your channel, I can watch one of your videos and feel like my day is easy, compared to the chores you do daily just to get by. We are in rural South Carolina, but what a cake walk when I see all the tasks you have. Thank you for sharing these great videos. Respectfully, Crusty Kirk

Love the life style. The solitude is nice but do need some socializing sometime. Just not too much i get it. You have enough activites to keep ya busy so dont worry about cabin fever. You need a good snow mobile to put around the camp with on good day. Just not too far away. The quietness is was deafening . You have a creative talent that is uplifting along with thhat sense of humour. Great video young lady it was cool& refreshing. Be safe & content .
