Saving Money on our Alaska Homestead + Family Life Update

The tomatoes with mozzarella, olive oil, basil and salt and pepper is called: Pomodoro caprese or Insalata caprese. Super delicious and easy made. An all time favorite not only in Italy! Enjoy!

Joas, My husband is a Army Veteran and he has alot of metal in his body especially his back , he has a metal cage and pins holding his spine in place , he has a titaum implant in his foot but with him cool rainy weather really makes it hard on him especially early of a morning so just keep moving one step at a time ..... Some days are better than others but I'm thankful I still have him with me today.... I know your family is thankful to still have u with them also.... Much Love from Kentucky ❤

As always, so blessed to be a part of the family for a short time. Thank you!

I have had a Harvest Right medium machine since the Pandemic. I freeze dry so many daily used kitchen ingredients like onion, garlic, bell peppers, mushrooms, mixed veggies ( frozen bagged ), peas, corn, carrots. I keep them in canning jars with OA on my ingredients shelving ( aka pantry). I measure them out and cover with boiling water while I prep the rest of my soup, casserole or whatever recipe I am cooking. Then I add in the veggies after they have soaked about 10-15 minutes. It helps to have items like that preserved and not needing to have them in their fresh form, estimated the winter months. I also get eggs from a homesteading friend, blend them & freeze dry them. Blend again after you take them out of the machine and Mylar bag or vacuum seal in Canning Jars. 1 TBl + 2 Tbl water to make one egg. I scramble them or use them in baking. We also FD all if our leftovers at the end of each week and Mylar bag them for long term storage. You & your family will love this machine so much. ♥️ I am going to try to send you a YT video link of a local man that owns a small Amish grocery store that we shop at. He was shunned by his church community. I wish so badly that he could know you & your family. He is experiencing a new relationship with Christ and that is so wonderful.

I think you may want to try wearing compression socks !! I've had a major surgery on my left ankle and Achilles tendon. Has helped with swelling for me.

Build a shop now to do yourself a canning and butcher room & clean room

They will convert YOUR 4 drawer to a 5 drawer as well. BTW. I told your wife that a while ago. Don't know if she saw my comment though. God Bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 ❤️ Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister ☦️ 🙏🏻 ❤️

The same day sourdough bread looked amazing.

Joas, my brother was in a forklift accident 35 years Ago and.it.crushed his ankle and heel. He had plates and.screws.all over down there. He had.pain for several years afterwards and they removed all the metal in an operation. He completely healed up in a.month and.never.had pain again.

not sure why but i'm craving spaghetti , lol

Never a disappointment. Thank you for sharing your journey with me. So beautiful.

Love this video and I just really love and admire you so much as to how you all work together as a family! That’s so awesome! God bless you

CAPRA ZEII: the god goats! We say it in ROmania too! But what we don't do in Romania is all this marvel of a life as yours in Alaska and Montana. Your videos are artistic, you are all charming, and my family and I love watching you.

These are my tips for you. Pre freeze your trays of food than put them in your machine. It makes the process faster. Also, if you didn't order extra trays, this would be a good idea. Also there's a guy on youtube Also that has great Info and he has corners that allow you to stack your trays for pre freezing. He also has tray dividers so you can make single servings. Chilli is awesome freeze dried. Although I wasn't raised Amish, I feel like I'm watching a replay of my youth,where all five children played a roll in our family life. Yard work,gardening,canning,all the good stuff. My momma made bread too! Thanks for the memories!

enjoyed the video, praying for full recovery for Joas, he is really doing well for all that happened with the fall. the meal looked great and it was good to see how you were freeze drying and making meals to freeze to just heat up when busy and the sour dough bread always looks wonderful. thanks for the video.

Check your arches, try a good feet store, you would be surprised how much the rest of your body is effected by your arches being out of alignment. With your injuries, surgery and recovery, it is quite possible that your arches have changed drastically and need adjustments.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the freeze dryer! Another great video. ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

Thanks for the awesome info about using a freeze dryer! The food looks wonderful!👍

I LOVE food storage vids, just in case you were wondering. 😅

Here’s an idea for you guys, buy a gas powered outdoor vacuum it sucks and shreds the leaves outside.
