Wasilla Alaska Farmers Market |  

Well, hope to see your mom again soon! When I soak and dehydrate different varieties of grains at the same time I use a dry erase marker on the jars and the sides of my dehydrator trays to keep them straight. I learned the hard way that “I’ll remember” is a lie I like to tell myself. 😂 Maybe you could use a post it note on the front of your dehydrator door.

Your Momma has been a great blessing and gave blessings that food haul was awesome

I absolutely love love love your shelves in the kitchen! 🌹

I made up some homemade rice mixes like,rice a roni, did some dry muffin mixes , gravy mixes, brownie mixes, Swiss Mocha Coffee Mix. It just saves a little time having them already made up and in my pantry. It also saves money because I'm not having to buy all of these things at the store. The more we can make ourselves the less we have to buy.

Thank you, I had no idea that I should soak my grains, going to look into that. HA I love funnel cakes that looked delicious. Today, I am getting prepped for a busy canning weekend, got 100lbs of tomatoes to work with so chili, sauces and salsa weekend. Tell your Mom we are going to miss seeing her and safe travels.

Hi from Missouri! That cutting board was absolutely gorgeous. A thing of beauty.

I would have thought that beautiful round ball that was absolutely gorgeous

I don’t have a food saver or vacuum sealer yet but I keep dried apricots and mango and other dried fruit just in jars with lids. I normally go thru them within a year and never had a issue with them drying out. Great video…cheers 🇨🇦🌷

The new board would make a terrific charcuterie server. I put up 5 pints of beef for BBQ sandwiches later, a tray of seasoned, roasted tomatoes for the freezer to eat later on sourdough discard flat bread layered with cream cheese. So yummy. Then I made a big pot of tomato, beef, rice for stuffing green peppers. I'm freezing the left overs for my lunches later and the remaining filling will be frozen for taco later. It was a good day! Tomorrow I will can the mushrooms I just finished prepping. They are so easy to can and so useful.

I have three boxes of tomatoes coming and cutting up the 15 chickens I butchered the day before. Thank for inspiring me

I had reindeer sausage in Denali while I was on a Land/sea cruise. It was yummy!

I’m so glad you & your mother had such a great time together! I hope she can come back soon- I’ve enjoyed your vlogs working together!! I pray she has a safe travel home. Blessings! 💜

Learned alot of stuff, new kind of zucchini, about vacuum sealing ect😊

OK...did your Mom like the reindeer sausage? Just curious! What a great help and wealth of knowledge your Mom is! I know you are so happy she was able to help you in your quests for storage! Now I know where you got your FIERCE from...lol! Hugs and blessings!

Glad your mom figured out the vacuum sealer however, point of caution. Once sealed you should not store with the ring on. Lids have been known to pop and you would have no idea because the ring will be holding it place. Learned the hard way -lost some but not a lot of storage because of it.

Hi from Marion, Arkansas!! Just subscribed to your channel. Love it!

Great video!

Great video 👍👍👍

You can always use a brake pump Ck out Rain Country Heidi tells you how to use and it saves you money

Find out if the Artisan who made your cutting board will sell to the lower 48 states. Bye Mom!

very cool you're soaking your grains... Weston A. Price Foundation is a wealth of information on traditional foods! yay you!!! it's been so nice seeing your Mom in your videos - we're all gonna miss her - time flew by! ❤ (ETA: I harvested a few things from my garden today and am fermenting salsa for the first time! also made more ice cream LOL)

I had the same issue with the jar lid and hose not working with my food saver. That is why I ended up with the brake bleeder. Maybe I need to fiddle with it again. 🤪

Thanks Jessica and I would Re-Dehydrate your fruit that you brought from the farmers market and then I think it would be safe for you to do what you wanna do 9-12-2022😊., I have been doing New Things a Bread Machine-Dehydrator a Insta pot a crockpot a air fryer things I’ve never done before I’m trying to get better and do better. I have a Heavy Cutting board with 4 legs that Suction to the Counter sometimes if my Rhematoid Arthritis is doing good I can pick it up., I am from Southern NJ live in a Senior Complex it’s Only 50 Apartments in here., Thanks For the love & Sending some your way😘😘

You are so blessed yourself Mom is so helpful. God bless you all Watching from northern central West Virginia

You can use a break bleeder to take the air out of those jars in a pinch.

Those wood boards and bowls were beautiful! :)

I live right outside of Wasilla and this popped up on my youtube channel! I didn't know the farmers market was still going on! Might have to swing by this week!

I will miss your mom too! So happy for you that she had the time and ability to visit! I applaud you that your garden did so well. The first couple of years are always a struggle, but you will persevere! Do let us know how your round zucchini cooks up and tastes! Until tomorrow! ❤️Momma G

If there's moisture do NOT vacuum seal it. The moisture allows botulism when all of the air is taken out. Love that your mom knows her stuff about food preserving.

Love the beautiful cutting board

Hi! I'm moving to wasilla on September 16th and I'm so happy watching your videos right now! Your home build looks like ours so maybe we will cross paths in the future

Hello from Maine! Just found you on You tube. We canned green beans today. I say we, my husband helped me, I broke my arm a few weeks ago and just in time for canning season. 😝 But we will get through this. The garden is abundant and I’m thankful.

Jalapeno salt! That sounds amazing. Hope you share :) always wished I was crafty.

Hi, i'am a new subscriber. I like love your kitchen! I'am from the State of Maine.

Dehydrate the pears until they are dry, rehydrate in warm water, or powder the pears.

For ~ $15 there is a jar sealer that works independently from a seal a meal... it's rechargeable and works great 👍

I had to do the very same thing for my jar vacuum hose and attachment. 🙄 I’m curious to see how sprouting your grains works out. I’ve been thinking about doing that too. I know you are sad to see your mom go home. Hope she’s able to come back very soon! I’m off to pick up my Azure order. Looking forward to the next video.

Your cutting board is so beautiful...I wouldn't want to use it!! Don't y ou just LOVE the food saver? I do.....and I am teaching one of my daughters how to use it. Not sure about the pears..... YOur pantry is so beautiful.......and, the zucchini (round) looked funny...How did it taste? Hugs, Bev in Maine

You can use a manual brake bleeder to use on your jars to get the oxygen out of thr jars. You may have to use both hands to hang on to the hose to the jar while you hand pump the brake bleeder. You can use it as a back up if you food saver doesn't work right on your jars.

Is that the vacuum sealer from Costco? I went through two of them using the cups for removing oxygen and the nosel kept snapping off in the hole of the machine. I ended up ordering another food savor model FM 2100 not had a problem since, it came with it's own cups and hoses too. The old cups and hoses didn't fit this new machine. I have to use a seperate lid with the small cup to seal not sure why but it works. I hope your machine from Costco works for you. Dried fruit is not the same as dehydrated fruit, I would dehydrate or freeze dry the dried fruit for longer storage. I made crockpot candy for my grand children ( 5, 11, 11, 17, 21, 22) and pulled my hair out with my freeze drier is not working😐not productive as I like to be. Was very nice of you to share your time with your mom and the different adventures you both went on. Come back Jessica's mom and visit again like Xmas🤗for sure summer become a snow bird.

I;m checking on my orders of Alaska Reincane Vodka/ Madagascar vanilla beans, bottles for the making of my vanilla extract, Special recipes i will be making for peach BBQ sauce, with Hennessey , a lot of Planning - special smoked cheeses from Cheese Brothers in Wisconsin

Hello! We are in Alaska as well with a farm with livestock:)

Ah! Your mother explained why you got that chamber sealer 👍🏻 So ignore my question under one of your earlier video's

Sometimes you have to just treat yourself! LOL

So you motivated my to try fermented pickles. I did slices instead of whole. How long did you go on yours before you knew there were done? Love the channel! Have learned so much about food preservation with this challenge you have been doing!

Hey there I would love to know what kind of dehydrator that is?

Do you condition your dehydrated goods before vacuum sealing? It is recommended that you put in jar with lid then wait a week and watch for condensation on your jar. If no condensation then vacuum seal jar

Hello from Littlefield AZ☺

that wood looks like Brazilian redwood. not sure what other woods are in cutting board and didn't hear you say. you did say he told you, but i missed it somehow.

have soaked grains, dehydrated, and ground for flour.. In video you added vinegar to the solution for soaking. I have always soaked and rinsed using only water. Is there an advantage to adding the vinegar?

I can tell you this though really not supposed to be on weed at all but I wonder if I were to have done this and eat something then get a blood test what that result would be. Cuz I have an autoimmune disease called lupus it's SLE and I can be honest with you I wish I never had it but I am blessed to be able to still do what I can do but anyhow I wonder what the results would be

Running a dehydrator for eight hours must use a lot of electricity!

And how do you guys afford to live in Alaska like that the reason why I'm asking is because I would like to do that as well

no super new but Lil bit new lol I live in laughlin nv.

I am sad that your mom is going home so soon 😢.

Oh my you young people worry so much about what you put into your bodies I am 82 very healthy for my age and we didn't follow organic or anything they push now. My mom is 99 still living and my dad passed at 94. There is lots of money in pushing all these things. My cousin milks over 100 cows and found if he claimed an organic dairy he made twice as much profit.
