Full transcript
- 0:00do you want to fill your prepper Pantry
- 0:01with food you'll actually want to eat
- 0:04then stay tuned because this video is
- 0:06for
- 0:09you hey guys it's Jara with Wicked
- 0:11prepared welcome back to the channel we
- 0:14have seen even more craziness in the
- 0:15world over the last week am I right and
- 0:18it's sure to keep escalating over the
- 0:20next several months so it's no wonder
- 0:22that many people have really stepped up
- 0:23their prepping when it comes to
- 0:25emergency food storage there's a few
- 0:27issues that we see over and over again
- 0:30too many people stock their preps with
- 0:31foods that they think they should store
- 0:34like beans rice can tuna things like
- 0:36that but they give no thought to how
- 0:39they're actually going to turn those
- 0:40Foods into a complete meal when the time
- 0:42comes or they stock up on so-called
- 0:44convenience items like these that are
- 0:47full of things that they really aren't
- 0:48keen on putting in their bodies because
- 0:50of these reasons too many people don't
- 0:53rotate their emergency food storage like
- 0:55they should and that food they spent
- 0:57their hard earned money on just sits
- 0:58there until it's past stes at which
- 1:01point most people just toss it food
- 1:03storage can be one of the best and
- 1:05smartest Investments that we make but
- 1:07only if it's done right that's why we
- 1:09love using meals in a jar as part of our
- 1:12emergency food storage we can make a
- 1:14huge variety of different meals that our
- 1:16family actually likes and wants to eat
- 1:19because we make them ourselves we
- 1:20control what goes into them so we know
- 1:22they're made with ingredients that we
- 1:24trust and they fit our dietary needs
- 1:27they're shelf stable so they can sit in
- 1:28our food storage for years if necessary
- 1:30and they're ready when we need them they
- 1:32don't require any additional ingredients
- 1:34besides water just add water and most of
- 1:37them cook up pretty quickly and easily
- 1:38in an emergency best of all because
- 1:40they're meals that we like and we feel
- 1:42good about the ingredients in them we're
- 1:44more likely to pull them off the shelf
- 1:46when we need a quick easy meal that
- 1:48helps keep our food storage rotated so
- 1:50that nothing gets too old and there's no
- 1:51bad surprises when we finally go to use
- 1:54our emergency food not to mention it
- 1:56helps keep us out of the drive-thru when
- 1:58we know we have better options at home
- 1:59that are healthier and probably just as
- 2:02quick or even quicker you can see how
- 2:04meals in a jar tick all the boxes for us
- 2:07and why we love them so much we have a
- 2:09whole collection of meal and a jar
- 2:10recipes on our Channel and our website
- 2:12but I try to come out with a new meal
- 2:14and a Jar video for our followers at
- 2:15least once a month today's meal in a jar
- 2:18is a sausage lasagna Skillet this is a
- 2:21very simple basic meal in a jar so it's
- 2:23perfect if you're just beginning with
- 2:25meals in a jar let's get started and
- 2:27I'll show you how this meal is done I
- 2:29said this was a great jar meal for
- 2:31beginners for someone who's just
- 2:33starting out with jar meals and this is
- 2:34why because there's very few ingredients
- 2:36and they're very basic we've got our
- 2:38pasta I'm using mafalda pasta which is
- 2:41basically mini lasagna noodles I have a
- 2:44really hard time finding this I cannot
- 2:45find this anywhere near where I live and
- 2:47I have a hard time finding it online for
- 2:49a decent price so I've been getting it
- 2:52from Amazon I will link where I get
- 2:54everything down in the description box
- 2:55below the video but hopefully you have
- 2:58more luck finding this locally to you
- 3:00and I'll show a few other options here
- 3:01in just a minute I've got some sausage
- 3:04freeze-dried sausage now this is another
- 3:06place that this is flexible if you don't
- 3:08like sausage you don't have sausage you
- 3:11could use a freeze-dried Hamburg and if
- 3:13you don't have either one of those and
- 3:15you don't have it in your budget to
- 3:16purchase those right now because Meats
- 3:18of course are a little bit more
- 3:19expensive um in freeze-dried food just
- 3:21like they are in fresh food or canned
- 3:24food any kind of food you're buying meat
- 3:25is usually going to take the biggest
- 3:27bite out of the budget this month this
- 3:29freeze-dried sauce is on sale and that's
- 3:30part of the reason that I've chosen this
- 3:32meal I'm using a lot of ingredients that
- 3:34are on sale that's the way I like to do
- 3:35it so that I can stock up on things when
- 3:38they're on sale and make a lot of Jar
- 3:39meals all at once but if it's not in
- 3:41your budget to get freeze-dried meat
- 3:43right now you could also use a TVP a
- 3:46beef TVP that's quite a bit less
- 3:48expensive that's a meat substitute it
- 3:51works a little bit differently than
- 3:52freeze-dried Meats it's going to absorb
- 3:53a lot more liquid and it's going to
- 3:55swell so you would need to use less of
- 3:57it in the recipe and you might need to
- 3:59adjust your water amounts but it is a
- 4:00little bit more of a budget friendly
- 4:02option if that's um something that you
- 4:04need and then we've got mozzarella
- 4:06cheese this is freeze-dried mozzarella
- 4:08cheese of course this is another great
- 4:10item to have on hand because it's real
- 4:12cheese a lot of times for pepper Pantry
- 4:14people feel like they're stuck with
- 4:16things like um valvita which is not real
- 4:18cheese and it's not a very healthy
- 4:20option this is just pure real mozzarella
- 4:22cheese shredded and freeze-dried and
- 4:24then I've got tomato sauce powder now
- 4:26this is one of my um most favorite
- 4:27products because it's very unique I
- 4:30don't see a lot of um spaghetti sauce
- 4:32this is basically a spaghetti sauce
- 4:34powder it's all seasoned it's all ready
- 4:35to go it's complete you just add water
- 4:38and it thickens into a beautiful sauce
- 4:40I've seen powdered mixes that you add to
- 4:43your own can of tomato sauce or tomato
- 4:45paste but I've never seen a complete
- 4:47product like this just a couple other
- 4:49reasons why I love this product it is a
- 4:51good space saver for me in my pepper
- 4:52Pantry it comes in a can like this which
- 4:54is a quart size can and the entire can
- 4:57fits in this little canister so it's
- 4:59really about the size of one jar of
- 5:01spaghetti sauce but this is going to
- 5:03take the place of several jars of
- 5:04spaghetti sauce with what you get out of
- 5:06it there are 51 servings in of spaghetti
- 5:10sauce in this can so I love that it
- 5:12saves space and the other thing I love
- 5:14is that I can make up as much as little
- 5:16as I want so like if you're a single
- 5:17person or you're a small family or like
- 5:19me maybe you have kids and teenagers who
- 5:22like to make themselves some pasta for a
- 5:24snack and open up a whole jar of sauce
- 5:26use a little bit out of it put it back
- 5:28in the fridge and then never touch it
- 5:30again and you end up finding a jar of
- 5:323/4 full with moldy sauce this is a
- 5:35great option because you can mix up just
- 5:37one serving at a time or two servings or
- 5:39four or eight or however many you want
- 5:41so you can use exactly the amount that
- 5:43you want and once it's opened the the
- 5:46contents of the can will stay good for
- 5:47about a year so you have quite a while
- 5:49to use it up and then other than those
- 5:51ingredients I've just got some
- 5:52seasonings over here I've got some
- 5:53Italian seasoning just basic Italian
- 5:55seasoning and I've got some sausage
- 5:58seasoning these are meant for for like
- 6:00people who are making their own sausage
- 6:02but I use them a lot to add more of a
- 6:05sausage flavor see freeze-dried sausages
- 6:07are pretty mild in flavor and they're
- 6:10kind of neither here nor there they're
- 6:11so um they can appeal to everyone and so
- 6:13they could be used for any type of meal
- 6:15breakfast meal dinner meal Italian meal
- 6:17any kind of sausage you need so I like
- 6:19to add a little bit more flavor that's
- 6:21specific to the type of sausage that I
- 6:23want to be using so I would be using an
- 6:25Italian sausage in a dish like this so I
- 6:27use an Italian sausage seasoning I'm
- 6:29just going to use one of these I have
- 6:30sweet Italian sausage and mild Italian
- 6:32sausage they're very similar I'm not
- 6:34even really sure what the difference is
- 6:36between these two there's also a hot
- 6:38italian sausage seasoning which I have
- 6:39used in the past sometimes so you can
- 6:41choose whatever one you like I will have
- 6:43links to these on Amazon because it's
- 6:45not something I've ever found in a local
- 6:47grocery
- 6:48store and then of course I've got some
- 6:50Johnny's garlic this is a really tasty
- 6:53seasoning and it adds a really good kind
- 6:55of garlicky touch now if you can't find
- 6:57the mafala pasta like I said I link to
- 7:00this but it's a little spendy where I've
- 7:01been getting it it's more than I
- 7:02typically pay for pasta but I do really
- 7:04like to have this shape if I'm making
- 7:06something like this like a lasagna
- 7:08Skillet or lasagna soup I just like to
- 7:10have this shape of noodle I've also
- 7:13found this one it's called something
- 7:15else it's called reginetti but I think
- 7:17that's just another name for
- 7:19mafalda you can see right
- 7:21there and this one is a whole grain so
- 7:24this was not any less expensive but it
- 7:26is whole grain so if you like um using
- 7:28whole grains like we like like to do a
- 7:30lot this is an option this is also from
- 7:32Amazon you could also use something like
- 7:37radiatore or bow ties any of these pasta
- 7:40shapes would work pretty well for a dish
- 7:41like this you could use sometimes you
- 7:44can find really wide wavy egg noodle
- 7:47ribbons I can't really find those um
- 7:48close to me I just have regular egg
- 7:50noodles and I prefer something a little
- 7:52bit wider and wavier but but these two
- 7:54shapes I think would be nice in this
- 7:56lasagna Skillet you could also use
- 7:58something like this shap shap I think
- 7:59these are called campanell they're um
- 8:01like a trumpet shaped pasta I think that
- 8:03would work really well in a lasagna
- 8:05Skillet and all of these last three
- 8:07options that I showed you I have found
- 8:08at my local grocery store so you could
- 8:10probably find them at your local grocery
- 8:12store because clearly we don't have much
- 8:13in our area the only caveat to that is
- 8:16if you do use a different pasta shape
- 8:18you might have to adjust your cooking
- 8:19time and you also might need to adjust
- 8:21the amount of water just slightly you
- 8:23might need a little bit more water for
- 8:24some of the bulkier pasta types and you
- 8:26might need a little longer cooking time
- 8:28but that's pretty easy to figure out
- 8:29to put together this meal we're going to
- 8:31need a quart size mason jar there's not
- 8:33a whole lot of special equipment needed
- 8:35for this which is one of the great
- 8:36things about it you don't need a
- 8:37pressure can or anything like that this
- 8:39is a Widemouth quart size mason jar this
- 8:42is going to make it easier when it comes
- 8:43time to get your meal out of the jar
- 8:45trust me you want the wide mouth you
- 8:47want to have a sealing lid and ring to
- 8:49go with your jar if you're putting this
- 8:51meal away for the long term you're going
- 8:53to want to use an oxygen absorber some
- 8:55people do vacuum seal them personally I
- 8:57think they last longer with an oxygen
- 8:59absorber but people have had some pretty
- 9:01decent luck with their vacuum sealers as
- 9:02well we're going to be using some basic
- 9:04measuring utensils cups and spoons and
- 9:07then the final thing we're going to want
- 9:09is a uh canning funnel to help us get
- 9:11the ingredients into the jar now let's
- 9:13get started I'm going to start with my
- 9:17pasta and I'm going to be adding two
- 9:19cups of my pasta you can be a little bit
- 9:21generous on these cups there's going to
- 9:23be plenty of room in the jar and if at
- 9:25the end you have extra space you could
- 9:27always add some more pasta if you want
- 9:28just keep in mind if you increase the
- 9:30amount of pasta you might need to
- 9:31increase the amount of water just to tab
- 9:34one cup and two
- 9:39cups next I'm going to add my sausage
- 9:42now I'm only using a half a cup of
- 9:43sausage that's um a little bit less than
- 9:45I typically put in a jar meal typically
- 9:47it's 3/4 cup to a cup that I would use
- 9:50in a jar meal but a great way to cut
- 9:52down the cost of any meal and this
- 9:53includes meals that you make with fresh
- 9:55ingredients is to cut down the amount of
- 9:56meat in the meal because that's usually
- 9:58the most expensive portion of the meal
- 10:00so you can see these are just little
- 10:01pieces of freeze-dried sausage these are
- 10:03delicious I actually love to eat them
- 10:05just dry um right out of the can right
- 10:07out of the canister if you eat keto or
- 10:09low carb these are a great low carb
- 10:11snack sometimes I'll just eat them plain
- 10:13sometimes I make a little snack mix with
- 10:15the sausage and some freeze-dried
- 10:16shredded cheese it's delicious so I'm
- 10:19doing a/2 cup of the
- 10:20sausage and next I'm going to add the
- 10:22tomato sauce I'm also doing a half a cup
- 10:25of the tomato sauce powder and you can
- 10:27see that that is seasoned it's got all
- 10:29the seasonings that it needs everything
- 10:31is in this it's complete so half a cup
- 10:34and the thing with powdered ingredients
- 10:36is if you work them a little bit you can
- 10:37get them to go down deeper into the jar
- 10:40and filter in amongst the other
- 10:41ingredients and take up less space in
- 10:43the jar so you can really fit more than
- 10:44four cups worth of ingredients in these
- 10:46jars if you layer them just right and
- 10:48make things kind of fit together into
- 10:50the same layer next I'm going to add my
- 10:52sausage seasoning remember you can use
- 10:55sweet mild or hot Italian whichever you
- 10:57like if you don't have the seasoning you
- 10:59don't want to purchase it it's actually
- 11:00pretty inexpensive but if you don't want
- 11:03to purchase it you could just use some
- 11:05extra of the other seasonings that we're
- 11:06using but I like that this gives it a a
- 11:09sausage flavor and part of a big part of
- 11:11the sausage flavor comes from fennel
- 11:13there's a big Taste of fennel in most
- 11:15Italian sausages so if you didn't have
- 11:17this you could use some fennel either
- 11:19fennel seed or crushed fennel or ground
- 11:21fennel this also has salt in it these
- 11:23sausage seasonings so if you need to
- 11:25avoid salt you could substitute with
- 11:27some fennel and Italian seasonings and
- 11:28things to cut the salt out I am using a
- 11:31teaspoon of the sausage
- 11:33seasoning I'm using a half a teaspoon of
- 11:35this Johnny's
- 11:37garlic and I'm also using a half a
- 11:39teaspoon of Italian seasoning this
- 11:41dispenses a/4 teaspoon with each click
- 11:43of this dial so I'm just going to do
- 11:45that instead of measuring I don't know
- 11:47why I haven't put these other seasonings
- 11:48into um dispensers like this I just
- 11:50haven't yet I actually have some empty
- 11:52ones on a brand new Carousel that I
- 11:54could be filling up so I need to get
- 11:56doing that cuz I really prefer this it's
- 11:58a lot easier and it doesn't um dirty up
- 12:00extra measuring
- 12:04utensils all right so that's our
- 12:06seasonings and now all we have left to
- 12:08add is the mozzarella cheese I am
- 12:10dividing this mozzarella cheese because
- 12:11I want some to be in the actual lasagna
- 12:14mixture and then I want some that I'm
- 12:16going to reserve to um refresh and
- 12:18sprinkle on top to have that melty
- 12:20cheese on the
- 12:22top so what I'm putting in the jar with
- 12:25the rest of the mixture is going to be a
- 12:27half a cup
- 12:30and then I'm also going to put in an
- 12:31additional half a cup and I'm going to
- 12:33put it in a baggie and just put it right
- 12:36inside the top of the jar here so that I
- 12:38can remove it when I go to prepare this
- 12:40and just keep it separate I am using one
- 12:42of these fold top sandwich baggies that
- 12:44does not have The Zipper um zipper
- 12:46section and part of the reason there's
- 12:48two reasons why I'm doing that number
- 12:50one when it has that zipper portion
- 12:51that's kind of stiff it makes it harder
- 12:53to fit the bag into the jar it can be
- 12:55done usually if you have enough space we
- 12:57have plenty of space here but it's just
- 12:59kind of a pain but the other reason is
- 13:01if I were to be putting this away for
- 13:02long term and adding an oxygen absorber
- 13:04that oxygen absorber is going to um
- 13:06react with the oxygen in the jar to
- 13:08basically eat it up and get rid of it so
- 13:11if I were to put my cheese in here and
- 13:13seal it with a zipper there would be
- 13:15some oxygen sealed in with the cheese in
- 13:17the baggie so this way the oxygen will
- 13:20be I mean I'll just kind of twist it
- 13:22shut and so it's not going to be sealed
- 13:23real tight and so everything would be
- 13:25able to be affected by the oxygen
- 13:27absorber all right so I'm just just
- 13:29going to put my half a cup an additional
- 13:30half a cup of mozzarella cheese into
- 13:33this
- 13:34baggie and like I said I'm just going to
- 13:36keep it Loosely closed and just tuck it
- 13:39into the top here and then if I were
- 13:42putting this away for the long term I
- 13:43would add my oxygen absorber and go
- 13:46ahead and put my lid on
- 13:48tightly and that would seal my jar up
- 13:51but instead of putting this one away I'm
- 13:53actually going to be fixing it up so you
- 13:54can see how it turns out but first
- 13:56because this is a very simple meal I
- 13:58want wanted to give you guys a little
- 14:00bit of something extra so I'm going to
- 14:02do a couple of other jars of things that
- 14:04you could serve alongside this meal
- 14:05especially because this meal doesn't
- 14:07have any vegetables in it to speak of
- 14:09really other than obviously the tomatoes
- 14:11and the tomato sauce which does count
- 14:13but usually that's one of the things
- 14:15that I really love about meals in a jar
- 14:16is that I can add the veggies right in
- 14:18so you can have everything you need for
- 14:20your meal right in the jar including the
- 14:21veggies or fruit your protein everything
- 14:24else in this case I decided against
- 14:26adding veggies just because I just
- 14:28thought I would keep it really simple if
- 14:30people were just starting out this has
- 14:31few ingredients to purchase if you have
- 14:34kids that don't like some of the veggies
- 14:35you know there's just it's very simple
- 14:37if you wanted to add veggies to this you
- 14:39absolutely could you could add some
- 14:40freeze-dried chopped spinach you could
- 14:42add some sliced mushrooms bell peppers
- 14:44whatever you like in your lasagna you
- 14:46can go ahead and add I just didn't
- 14:48personally so I'm going to make a side
- 14:50dish a vegetable side dish to go along
- 14:52in a jar I'm going to do a seasoned
- 14:54green beans for the seasoned green beans
- 14:57side dish these are the ingredients I'm
- 14:58going to be be using I'm using some
- 15:00freeze-dried onion slices of course
- 15:02freeze-dried green beans I'm using some
- 15:05butter powder and this is the seasoning
- 15:07I'm going to be using this is Kinder's
- 15:09the blend salt pepper and garlic and we
- 15:11really really like this it's really
- 15:12tasty and it goes great with the green
- 15:15beans now if you are new to freeze-dried
- 15:17food and you're wondering what the fuss
- 15:19is all about part of the reason that
- 15:21Preppers love it so much and why it's
- 15:22great for meals in a jars because
- 15:23freeze-dried food typically has about a
- 15:2525e shelf life it has a very long shelf
- 15:28life despite that the freeze drying
- 15:30process is so gentle that it maintains
- 15:34Almost 100% of the nutrients in the food
- 15:3695 to 98% of the nutrients in the fresh
- 15:38food are maintained in the freeze-dried
- 15:41product so it's a very very healthy
- 15:43option the ones that we get have no GMOs
- 15:46um in their products at all they have
- 15:48very high quality standards so they're
- 15:49just a great product and then once you
- 15:51open up a freeze-dried product the 25e
- 15:53shelf life is um sealed in the can when
- 15:56you get them and then once you open them
- 15:58you've usually typic got about a year to
- 16:00use them up that can vary some depending
- 16:02on things like the humidity where you
- 16:03live and the conditions that you store
- 16:05them in but typically about a year is
- 16:08what people get out of them after
- 16:10they're opened and then of course if you
- 16:11seal them back up in a jar with an
- 16:13oxygen absorber you are going to
- 16:15maintain that long shelf life maybe not
- 16:17quite as long as they were in the
- 16:19original can but most people tend to get
- 16:21at least between 5 to 8 years out of a
- 16:24jar meal minimum depending on the
- 16:26ingredients they put in them and how
- 16:27they store them and for this side dish
- 16:30I'm going to be using a pint siiz jar we
- 16:32don't need a whole quart for a side dish
- 16:34to go along with our meal I'm going to
- 16:36use a pint once again I'm going to be
- 16:37using a wide mouth pint and all of the
- 16:40other equipment is going to be basically
- 16:41the same as our other jar meal so let's
- 16:43get started the first thing I'm going to
- 16:45add to my jar is going to be the onion
- 16:47slices these are just onions uh freeze
- 16:50red onions that are a little bit larger
- 16:52than the chopped onions that you can get
- 16:54which are much smaller little bits but I
- 16:56wanted some larger pieces in this dish
- 16:58I'm just going to add 1/4 cup of the
- 17:00onion slices right into the bottom of
- 17:02the jar and then I'm going to be adding
- 17:04my butter powder I'm using a tablespoon
- 17:06of the butter
- 17:08powder my seasoning next I'm going to be
- 17:10using a teaspoon of
- 17:13this and then I'm just going to go ahead
- 17:15and pack the rest of the jar with the
- 17:16green beans I'm not even going to
- 17:18measure this I really just need the jar
- 17:21filled up to the top with the green
- 17:24beans you can tap these down get more to
- 17:27fit
- 17:29then of course just leave a room to put
- 17:30an oxygen absorber on the top once again
- 17:32if you're going to seal this up I
- 17:35usually use 200 C's in my quart jars so
- 17:39I would think this would need about 100
- 17:43cc's and here is our seasoned green bean
- 17:46side dish all ready to go with our
- 17:48lasagna
- 17:50Skillet I am going to give you one more
- 17:52thing to serve alongside the lasagna
- 17:54Skillet and that's going to be a super
- 17:55simple mini French bread loaf this is
- 17:58such a simple recipe you can see here
- 17:59there's only three ingredients I've got
- 18:01bread flour I've got salt and I've got
- 18:03instant yeast the only thing about this
- 18:06recipe that you need a lot of is time
- 18:08because it does need some time for
- 18:09rising and some time for resting but
- 18:12it's very simple and it makes a great
- 18:13thing to serve alongside our lasagna
- 18:15Skillet let's get started I am going to
- 18:17be making this spread mix in a pint siiz
- 18:19jar and I'm using a wide mouth pint
- 18:22because all of the ingredients that go
- 18:23into this are powdered it could
- 18:25certainly fit into a regular mouth pint
- 18:27jar but just because I want all these
- 18:28elements to go together and I did the
- 18:31green beans in the wide mouth I thought
- 18:32it would look good if it was uniform so
- 18:34I'm going to be using a wide mouth pint
- 18:36jar this
- 18:38time and my trusty funnel and I'm going
- 18:41to start with the bread flour now bread
- 18:43flour really makes your bread have a
- 18:45better texture it's just got extra
- 18:47gluten in it I believe but I have made
- 18:50bread with regular all-purpose flour
- 18:52before I haven't tried this recipe with
- 18:54regular flour but if that's all you have
- 18:55it would probably work still pretty well
- 18:57we're going to be adding 1 and 3/4 cups
- 18:59of flour but I am going to put it in in
- 19:01two parts I'm going to put in the one
- 19:03cup first and then I'm going to add my
- 19:06salt and then the rest of the flour and
- 19:08then I'm going to add my yeast on top
- 19:09because we want to keep the salt and the
- 19:10yeast separate in this jar we don't want
- 19:12them to be touching each other and when
- 19:14I pour it out into the bowl to get it
- 19:16mixed and Blended I want them to start
- 19:19off separate so that's why I'm putting
- 19:21um the salt in the middle and not in the
- 19:24bottom of the jar because when I pour it
- 19:25in the bowl I usually do a circular
- 19:27motion so the beginning of what I pour
- 19:29and the end of what I pour would be in
- 19:31the same place if that makes any sense
- 19:34now the best way to measure your flour
- 19:35especially when you're baking bread is
- 19:37to weigh it and I actually got my pantry
- 19:40Chic machine recently you've probably
- 19:42seen that it's a special machine with
- 19:44special canisters and you put the
- 19:45canister right on top of the machine and
- 19:47it measures out your ingredients and it
- 19:49measures them by weight and it's
- 19:50specifically made for that cuz when I
- 19:52first learned that it was best to
- 19:54measure your flower by weight and I
- 19:55started doing that I was doing it on a
- 19:57simple kitchen scale which is you know a
- 19:59very inexpensive simple way to do it but
- 20:02I found I always had to look up what
- 20:04weight I was going for if I wanted a cup
- 20:06of flour because I wasn't usually
- 20:07following recipes that were written by
- 20:08weight so I was always having to look it
- 20:11up on the internet before I got started
- 20:13and I just found that I just gave up
- 20:15doing it because it was such a pain so
- 20:17when I saw that there was actually a
- 20:18machine that was meant for measuring
- 20:20your ingredients like that by weight I
- 20:23was all over it but I haven't gotten a
- 20:24canister yet for my bread flour I have a
- 20:26canister for my all Corpus flour and I
- 20:29have a canister for my semolina flow I
- 20:31don't have a canister for the pantry
- 20:33Chic for the bread flour so for now I'm
- 20:35just measuring this by hand but the
- 20:37reason it's so important to measure your
- 20:39flour by weight is because depending on
- 20:41how you measure it in your cup you could
- 20:43have vastly different amounts of flour
- 20:45in the same cup if you were to scoop it
- 20:47like this it packs it in and there could
- 20:50be a lot more flour actually you'd be
- 20:52surpris at how different the measurement
- 20:54could be than if you had spooned it in
- 20:55lightly so the best way to measure flour
- 20:57if you're not measuring it by weight is
- 21:00to kind of fluff it up and just spoon it
- 21:01lightly into the
- 21:03cup like this and then level it off
- 21:06rather than scooping your cup through
- 21:08the flour and packing it
- 21:10in if you know that your flour is is
- 21:14kind of packed already in the container
- 21:15maybe you filled your container up and
- 21:16just had to smush the lid on or it's
- 21:18been sitting a while you can even run it
- 21:20through a sifter or just pass it through
- 21:23a wire mesh strainer to kind of fluff it
- 21:25up before you get started so here's my
- 21:27first one cup I'm going to put that in
- 21:29my jar and now I'm going to go ahead and
- 21:31add my salt and incidentally this is my
- 21:34canister for my pantry Chic so I could
- 21:36put this on the pantry Chic and it could
- 21:37measure the salt for me but I'm not
- 21:39going to do that just because I'm not
- 21:40getting it out for the flour so I'm not
- 21:42going to get it out just for the salt I
- 21:44am adding one teaspoon of salt right
- 21:46there in the middle and then I'm going
- 21:49to go ahead and add the rest of my flour
- 21:51which is going to be 3/4 of a
- 21:53cup so there's a half a cup covering up
- 21:57that
- 22:00salt and then our last4 cup and you can
- 22:04see that fills it up pretty full we've
- 22:06still got a little bit of space the
- 22:09final ingredient for our bread is the
- 22:10instant yeast now I store this in the
- 22:12freezer now this is the one part I'm not
- 22:15100% certain about because I haven't
- 22:16been doing Breads in a jar like this
- 22:18long enough to have a lot of experience
- 22:20with how long the yeast will stay good
- 22:22but it does help yeast to have an oxygen
- 22:24absorber it'll help all of these
- 22:26ingredients so if anybody out there has
- 22:28has more experience than me with this um
- 22:31let us know your experience down in the
- 22:32comments of how long you have had your
- 22:35yeast last in a jar like this the other
- 22:37thing you could do is you could include
- 22:40um your yeast in a packet you could
- 22:41include a packet of yeast so that you
- 22:43could um test it you know before you
- 22:47before you made the bread and then you
- 22:48could put fresh yeast in it if you had
- 22:50yeast and you needed to but hopefully
- 22:52this will last at least a year on the
- 22:54Shelf I know a lot of people rotate
- 22:56through their meals and use these
- 22:57regularly around the house and so you
- 22:59know theoretically if you if this would
- 23:00last a year say you were going to make
- 23:02two of these a month you could store 24
- 23:06jars of them and you would be using them
- 23:07up in a year and as long as you're
- 23:08replacing them on the other end you
- 23:10would maintain about a year's supply of
- 23:12bread here is my half a teaspoon of
- 23:15yeast instant yeast make sure it's
- 23:17instant yeast and then the one last
- 23:19thing that I am going to include in this
- 23:21jar is I have got a couple about a
- 23:23couple tablespoons of flour in another
- 23:25baggie and the reason I'm doing this is
- 23:27for two reasons number one you do need a
- 23:29little bit of flour to sprinkle over the
- 23:31top of the loaf before you bake it and
- 23:33I'm probably going to sprinkle some on
- 23:34the bottom cuz it's you're supposed to
- 23:36have like cornmeal coarse cornmeal or
- 23:39something but I'm just going to use a
- 23:40little bit of flour and the other thing
- 23:42is if you are adding your liquid and you
- 23:44add a little bit too much you might need
- 23:46a little bit of extra flour to kind of
- 23:48bring your dough back together just in
- 23:49case so it can't hurt to have this
- 23:52little packet of extra flour in there
- 23:55once again if you were going to be
- 23:56storing this long term you would use
- 23:58your oxygen
- 24:00absorber and seal it up and our bread
- 24:03mix is ready to go and then of course
- 24:05we're going to want some garlic butter
- 24:07spread to go along with our bread now
- 24:09there's two options here this is another
- 24:10really simple recipe there's only two
- 24:12ingredients butter powder and the
- 24:14Johnny's garlic now you can fit all of
- 24:16the ingredients into this small quarter
- 24:19pint jar it just barely fits but it does
- 24:22fit but I prefer to do it in this wide
- 24:25mouth half pint jar and it won't fill
- 24:27the jar but then when you go to use it
- 24:29or whoever you give this to um you can
- 24:31mix it right up in this jar cuz there's
- 24:33enough room to add the water and mix and
- 24:35it can be served out of this jar and
- 24:37stored in this jar if you have extra so
- 24:39those are your two options if you do it
- 24:41in this jar it will fit and then you
- 24:42would just um put it into a separate
- 24:45dish to mix it up I'm going to do it in
- 24:47this wide mouth half pint today like I
- 24:50mentioned it is super simple there's
- 24:52only two ingredients I'm going to start
- 24:54with my butter powder and I'm going to
- 24:56be using a half a cup of the butter
- 25:00powder and then I'm going to be adding
- 25:02the Johnny's garlic now this I'm going
- 25:04to be putting a tablespoon in here which
- 25:06is what the package calls for for a half
- 25:08a cup of butter and we like it like this
- 25:12but it's pretty um strongly garlicky so
- 25:15if you are not into garlic quite as much
- 25:18you don't like things quite as strong
- 25:21you might want to start out with maybe a
- 25:23half a tablespoon or two teaspoons at
- 25:26first and test that out and see how you
- 25:27like it um and then decide if you like
- 25:29it with that much or if you want more
- 25:31garlic before you make up a bunch of
- 25:35these and there we go the bread does
- 25:39take the longest to prepare because of
- 25:41the rising and resting time so I'm going
- 25:42to go ahead and get started on that
- 25:44first to make my little loaf of French
- 25:46bread I am going to be using my food
- 25:48processor today this is my new food
- 25:50processor that I just got and it does
- 25:53have a dough hook or a dough blade
- 25:55actually this is called the dough blade
- 25:57but the recipe that I adapted this from
- 25:59she did it in a food processor with the
- 26:01regular steel blade so if you don't have
- 26:03a dough blade for your food processor
- 26:05you could use your regular steel blade
- 26:07now obviously if you're doing this in a
- 26:09situation when you don't have
- 26:10electricity a power outage of some sort
- 26:12you are probably not going to be using a
- 26:13food processor and you will have to do
- 26:15the mixing and kneading by hand it's
- 26:17super quick in the food processor it
- 26:19only takes about 45 seconds and when I
- 26:21got this food processor I noticed it has
- 26:24it does a little countdown here or it
- 26:25counts the seconds and I never really
- 26:27thought about what that would be for
- 26:30until I was making the spread the other
- 26:31day and I said oh that's really handy to
- 26:34have the seconds counting down so I
- 26:36guess that's what it's for all right so
- 26:38I'm going to get ready to put my bread
- 26:39mix into the mixer now remember I was
- 26:40careful to keep the salt and the yeast
- 26:42separated and so I'm going to try to do
- 26:44the same when I add it to the Bowl here
- 26:46so I'm going to put it in a circular
- 26:48motion around here I do have my water
- 26:50ready this is just slightly warm tap
- 26:53water and I've got 3/4 of a cup ready to
- 26:56go can just barely feel that it's it's
- 26:58warm I also have some extra water set
- 27:00aside just in case I need it I'm going
- 27:03to add most of what I have in the 3/4
- 27:05cup and if the dough doesn't look um
- 27:08moist enough or like there's still some
- 27:09dry flour left in the bottom then I'll
- 27:11add a little bit more right so I'll
- 27:12definitely remove the oxygen absorber
- 27:14and I'm going to remove our little bag
- 27:16of flour that's just in there um for the
- 27:19extra flour that we need so I'm going to
- 27:21go ahead and pour this in
- 27:29the lid on my
- 27:30processor I do have um my smallest
- 27:33Pusher out that's where I'm going to add
- 27:35my water and you can see here here where
- 27:37it does the countdown so I'm going to
- 27:39start this mixing and I'm just going to
- 27:41start slowly adding my
- 27:44water stop and take a look at
- 27:49that still have a little bit of flour
- 27:52going so
- 27:58just going to use this to scrape down
- 27:59the side a little bit because I'm doing
- 28:01such a small a batch a small loaf um
- 28:05this machine is probably a little bit
- 28:06big for it
- 28:10but right I'm going let this
- 28:12go 45 seconds is what we
- 28:15[Music]
- 28:23want that's just a little bit wetter
- 28:25than the last time I made it but I think
- 28:27it's going to work just just fine so now
- 28:29I'm going to go ahead and get this dough
- 28:30out into a dry Bowl I just have a small
- 28:33plastic Bowl here because it's a small
- 28:35loaf and I'm going to put it in a warm
- 28:37place for 2 hours now for me my warm
- 28:39place is going to be my oven my oven
- 28:41light's been on some today so the oven
- 28:44is warmer than the room temperature so I
- 28:46haven't had my oven on at all it's just
- 28:48a little bit warm from the light so I'm
- 28:49going to go ahead and get this dough
- 28:51into the bowl and put it in there for 2
- 28:53hours all right so I've got my dough
- 28:56here and I have a piece of plastic wrap
- 28:58I'm just going to cover this lightly
- 28:59with a piece of plastic wrap and put it
- 29:01in my warm oven like I said the oven has
- 29:03not been on it's slightly warm from the
- 29:05light running I'm going to put it in
- 29:07there for 2 hours and then I'll see you
- 29:09right back here all right now that our
- 29:11dough has been in the warm oven for 2
- 29:13hours you can see that it actually Rose
- 29:15quite a bit if it doesn't rise that much
- 29:17for you that's okay it doesn't have to
- 29:19double or anything like that now it
- 29:21calls for the dough to be turned out
- 29:23onto a flowered surface I am just going
- 29:25to use the same pan that I'm going to
- 29:27bake it on for everything else from here
- 29:30on out so remember our little baggie of
- 29:32flour now this is part of what it is for
- 29:34so for the flowed surface I'm just going
- 29:36to
- 29:36put some flour in here and flour our
- 29:42surface so let's get this dough out of
- 29:44the bowl and I am just going to kind of
- 29:46make this into a bun shape a round shape
- 29:50just so that it can sit on the sheet for
- 29:54a little bit longer and rest
- 29:58all right so now that I've got the bread
- 29:59dough on here I'm just going to cover it
- 30:01again with this piece of plastic wrap
- 30:04now you could use a kitchen towel for
- 30:06this um if that's what you have whatever
- 30:08you have will work and now this is going
- 30:11to rest for 20 minutes all right so now
- 30:13it has been 20 minutes for this
- 30:17and I'm going to just form it into a
- 30:21loaf
- 30:22shape I am going to dust some more of
- 30:24this flour over the top to make it
- 30:26easier to work with the other thing I
- 30:28sometimes do is put oil on my hands so
- 30:30if oil is something that you have on
- 30:32hand all the time which for me it is
- 30:34something that I have on hand all the
- 30:37time but you also can get olive oil
- 30:40packets small olive oil packets from
- 30:42Amazon and you could
- 30:43put um an oil packet in the jar with the
- 30:47bread mix if you wanted to be able
- 30:51to have a little bit to oil your
- 30:56hands now I'm just doing this really
- 31:01really roughly I am not doing anything
- 31:04fancy
- 31:06here I do want this to be a little bit
- 31:09more short and stout and not a really
- 31:12long and skinny loaf but I'm going to
- 31:14call that good so this is going to get
- 31:16dusted with a little more flour over the
- 31:18top so now that this is shaped I am
- 31:21going to cover this again and it's going
- 31:23to sit for 40 more minutes before it
- 31:25bakes and then the last thing I'm going
- 31:27to do is is when it's close to the time
- 31:29that this is going to go in the oven I
- 31:30am going to heat it to 400 I'm going to
- 31:33take a baking pan and put it on the
- 31:34bottom rack of the oven and I'm going to
- 31:38um have my tea kettle ready with some
- 31:39boiling water because we're going to be
- 31:41having a pan of boiling water in the
- 31:43bottom of the oven with the bread and
- 31:44that's going to help it develop more of
- 31:46a crustiness but this is going to set
- 31:47for 40 minutes and I'll see you back
- 31:49when that's up all right so my oven is
- 31:51set to 400 I've got a pan on the bottom
- 31:53rack and I'm just going to fill it with
- 31:55some boiling water
- 31:57well I don't need to fill it that will
- 31:59be just fine right now I'm just going to
- 32:01uncover this for the last time and I'm
- 32:04going to make three
- 32:06slashes in the dough and then this is
- 32:09going to go in the oven for 20 to 25
- 32:11minutes at
- 32:14400 and now the hardest part is that we
- 32:16have to let this beautiful loaf of bread
- 32:18cool down before we cut into it and
- 32:20during the cooling process we can
- 32:22prepare the rest of the meal to prepare
- 32:24the lasagna Skillet and the side dish to
- 32:26go with it I'm going to use my butan
- 32:28emergency burner but the very first
- 32:29thing I'm going to do is I'm going to
- 32:31open this meal up and I'm going to get
- 32:33out this little baggie of cheese because
- 32:35I'm going to get this refreshing first
- 32:39this was a half a cup of cheese so it's
- 32:40only going to take about a tablespoon
- 32:42and a half of water and about 15 minutes
- 32:45to refresh this into fresh cheese I
- 32:47usually have a little bit of water left
- 32:48over so I want to do this first even
- 32:51though that we're not going to use the
- 32:52cheese till the very end to sprinkle
- 32:54over the top of the dish because if
- 32:56there's any water left um you know left
- 32:59over after refreshing the cheese it's
- 33:01going to be kind of a um a Milky water
- 33:04and it'll be a really good addition to
- 33:05the water that we need for our recipe so
- 33:07that's why I'm going to start this
- 33:09first to refresh the cheese like I said
- 33:12I only want about a tablespoon and a
- 33:13half of water and we want cold water we
- 33:16definitely want to use cold water for
- 33:17the cheese or else we'll end up with a
- 33:19goopy mess so I'm just going to do it
- 33:21right in this bag it can be done in a
- 33:24bag in a bowl it's good in a like a
- 33:26small container with a lid because then
- 33:28you can kind of tumble it around but I
- 33:30can do it in this bag just as easily and
- 33:32we won't be wasting an extra dish which
- 33:33in an emergency would be a really
- 33:35important factor just drizzling this
- 33:38water over it trying to do it evenly but
- 33:41it doesn't matter too much cuz we're
- 33:43going to toss it around in the bag okay
- 33:45now I'm just going to set this aside and
- 33:47let this um set and refresh for a few
- 33:49minutes 15 minutes is about what it
- 33:52takes all right so the cheese has been
- 33:54setting and actually looks like I don't
- 33:56really have any
- 33:58um extra water in here sometimes you do
- 34:00sometimes you don't likewise if you if
- 34:02it doesn't seem like it's going to be
- 34:04getting refreshed all the way through
- 34:05you can always add a little drizzle of
- 34:07extra water and if you do have any water
- 34:09left over after it's refreshed just add
- 34:12it into your dish I have three cups of
- 34:14water that's what we're going to be
- 34:15using for our meal and just a regular
- 34:18Skillet I'd say this is probably a 12in
- 34:20skillet I believe so I'm going to go
- 34:22ahead and open up my
- 34:25meal and just pour it right on in here
- 34:31and I'm going to add in my three cups of
- 34:32water this is cold
- 34:35water I'm going to give this a stir to
- 34:37moisten all the ingredients and then I'm
- 34:39just going to let it set for about 5 or
- 34:4210 minutes before I get it started and
- 34:43that's just going to basically let the
- 34:45cheese that's in here start to refresh
- 34:48as well because it melts better when
- 34:50it's refreshed and it doesn't uh refresh
- 34:54well in hot water really so it's going
- 34:56to be incorporated into the dish better
- 34:59if I let it set in the cold water for a
- 35:01little bit before I turn the burner on
- 35:03all right so just getting everything
- 35:04Incorporated and then everything
- 35:07submerged in the
- 35:09liquid and I'm going to let this set for
- 35:1110 minutes okay now that this is set
- 35:14just a little bit it's going to be time
- 35:15to get the burner
- 35:18going got this on a medium high heat and
- 35:21I'm just going to bring this up to a
- 35:22simmer and then I'm going to cover it
- 35:25and simmer it on low it's not going to
- 35:27take very along with this kind of pasta
- 35:28I think it's usually about 8 to 10
- 35:31minutes probably like I mentioned if you
- 35:33switch out the pasta type you might need
- 35:35to adjust your cooking time and you
- 35:37might need to adjust your water amount
- 35:39slightly all right you can see this is
- 35:41starting to Bubble here so I am just
- 35:43going to give it another quick stir I'm
- 35:45going to turn it down and I'm going to
- 35:47put the lid on and let it simmer for a
- 35:49little
- 35:51bit you definitely want to stir this
- 35:54occasionally to make sure that it
- 35:55doesn't stick onto the bottom
- 35:58the hardest part with these butane
- 35:59burners is actually keeping the flame
- 36:01low enough because they're pretty
- 36:06powerful all right it's been 8 minutes
- 36:09this is starting to look pretty done I'm
- 36:10just going to test one of these pastas
- 36:12that's basically what you're looking for
- 36:15is for the pasta to be done to your
- 36:17likeness and you can check the meat too
- 36:19but it should be done um you know it
- 36:22should be refreshed all the way through
- 36:23by the time the noodles are
- 36:26done yeah that is pretty much done it is
- 36:29going to thicken up a little bit more as
- 36:30it um sets I'm going to turn the burner
- 36:33off and then we need to sprinkle on our
- 36:35cheese this is the cheese that we added
- 36:38the water to at the beginning to get it
- 36:40refreshing all right now that I've got
- 36:42all the cheese on there I'm going to get
- 36:43this lid on so that it can start
- 36:48melting there you
- 36:51go look at how beautiful that melted
- 36:54just like real cheese because guess what
- 36:57it is real cheese it just had all the
- 37:00water removed to make it shelf stable
- 37:02and then we just put the water back and
- 37:04voila we had real mozzarella cheese
- 37:06again so this Skillet is ready to serve
- 37:09I'm going to put it aside it can cool a
- 37:10little bit it's only going to take me a
- 37:12couple of minutes to whip up the
- 37:13seasoned green beans to go with it all
- 37:16right so for the seasoned green beans
- 37:18I'm using a skillet that's just ever so
- 37:20slightly smaller than the one that I
- 37:21used before so I'm going to open up my
- 37:24green
- 37:25beans and I'm just going to dump the
- 37:28contents of the jar into the pan and
- 37:30I've got one cup of water here one cup
- 37:32of cold water and a trick I like to
- 37:34sometimes use with meals in a jar if
- 37:35there's any powder or seasoning or
- 37:37anything left in the jar I just use the
- 37:41jar uh the Water to rinse it out just so
- 37:43that we don't waste anything and if you
- 37:45keep in mind if you're in an emergency
- 37:47situation and you're low on you know
- 37:49things to cook with and measure with
- 37:51usually mason jars are ma are uh marked
- 37:54on the side with measurements for water
- 37:56so now that I've put the water in here
- 37:58I'm just going to give this a stir try
- 38:00to kind of moisten everything and get
- 38:02the butter powder mixed in with the
- 38:03water as best I can it's not going to
- 38:06completely mix while it's cold but once
- 38:08we put the heat to it it will all right
- 38:11that's good enough I'm going to put the
- 38:12heat on what I want to do is bring this
- 38:14up to um a boil basically a simmer a
- 38:18strong simmer and then I'm going to
- 38:19cover it to lock in the Steam and I'm
- 38:22going to let it go just for 1 minute
- 38:24just to make sure that everything gets
- 38:25kind of steamed through these green
- 38:26beans take no time to cook because
- 38:28they're freeze-dried um they really just
- 38:30need to to refresh and get the water
- 38:33back into them you could even just soak
- 38:34them in cold water and they would be
- 38:36ready so I'm going to have them go for 1
- 38:38minute with the lid on for the Steam and
- 38:40then I'm going to take that lid off and
- 38:41we're just going to evaporate the rest
- 38:42of the water until they just sauté in
- 38:45the remaining butter powder and
- 38:46seasoning and then they'll be done all
- 38:48right you can see this is coming up to a
- 38:50boil I'm going to cover it for 1 minute
- 38:53just to get those veggies steamed
- 38:55through all right there's 1 minute now
- 38:57I'm going to uncover this and I am just
- 39:00going to toss
- 39:03these like I said the water is going to
- 39:06evaporate it's not going to take but a
- 39:08minute or two and then these will just
- 39:11be like sauteed green beans just keep
- 39:15tossing them to make sure they all get
- 39:18evenly even amounts of
- 39:20moisture all right so now that the water
- 39:22is dried up that's really all we need
- 39:24I'm going to go ahead and turn this off
- 39:27need to toss them in the hot pan for
- 39:29just a minute all right so that is ready
- 39:31to serve along with our lasagna Skillet
- 39:34got our green
- 39:35beans and our lasagna Skillet and the
- 39:39bread will be done shortly and then
- 39:41we'll have our complete meal the final
- 39:43thing that we need to do while the bread
- 39:45is finishing cooling is mix up the
- 39:47garlic butter spread now like I
- 39:48mentioned you can put this into a
- 39:50separate bowl and use a whisk if you'd
- 39:52like I have done that and that works
- 39:54really well but it I find it works just
- 39:57as well to mix it up with the knife or
- 39:59spreader that you're going to use or a
- 40:00spoon right in this jar and just keep it
- 40:05all in this jar from start to finish
- 40:07we're going to be using about 2 to 3
- 40:09tablespoons of cold water so I've got
- 40:11some cold water here and I'm going to
- 40:12start with two
- 40:14tablespoons and just start mixing that
- 40:17and see if we need to add some more
- 40:19which I think I probably will with this
- 40:21spread but all right am going to go
- 40:23ahead and add a little bit more I'm not
- 40:25going to add a whole tablespoon at once
- 40:28I probably will need it but you can't go
- 40:30back but you can always go a little
- 40:32further I do think I'll add the rest of
- 40:35that thir tablespoon and that should be
- 40:37good but you can mix this up to whatever
- 40:40you consider a good spreading
- 40:42consistency just go slowly little by
- 40:45little all right so there is our garlic
- 40:48butter all ready to go on our bread now
- 40:50I did let the bread cool um pretty much
- 40:53completely I think that's I love slicing
- 40:55into a warm Loa of bread fresh out of
- 40:58the oven but it's really not that great
- 41:00for the bread when we cut into it when
- 41:01it's super hot so I did let this um cool
- 41:05down you can see where my slashes didn't
- 41:07really work out too well but it still
- 41:08feels like a nice loaf of bread I think
- 41:10this is a pretty forgiving
- 41:13[Music]
- 41:19recipe and there is our rustic French
- 41:22bread this is a very simple loaf of
- 41:24bread but in an emergency that's pretty
- 41:26much what we're going to want is
- 41:28something very simple now you can just
- 41:31spread the garlic butter spread on the
- 41:33bread or you could always put it um give
- 41:35it a flash in the pan or put it in the
- 41:38oven for a little bit whatever you want
- 41:40if you wanted to um Brown it up more
- 41:42like an actual garlic bread or garlic
- 41:44toast but it's also very good just with
- 41:47this garlic butter like I mentioned I
- 41:49did mix this up pretty strong with the
- 41:51garlic so if you're not a big garlic fan
- 41:54you might want to cut this down a little
- 41:55bit the garlic spread that you put in
- 41:57into the mix and try it out and if you
- 42:00think you could take a little bit more
- 42:01you can always adjust
- 42:03[Music]
- 42:22it all right now all we have to do is
- 42:24add a slice of bread to our lovely meal
- 42:27and this is all ready to serve look at
- 42:30that what a beautiful meal the beautiful
- 42:32thing about this is this can be you can
- 42:34mix and match this we've got our our
- 42:36main dish here we've got our veggie side
- 42:38we've got our bread but you could use
- 42:40this side with other meals you could use
- 42:43different seasonings in the side you
- 42:45could season this differently you could
- 42:46use different seasonings in your butter
- 42:48spread you could have a honey butter if
- 42:50you check out my cornbread um just add
- 42:53water mix in a Jar video I have a honey
- 42:55butter spread done similar to this you
- 42:57could add cinnamon to that you could do
- 43:00a lot with this basic bread dough this
- 43:02is such a basic bread dough you could
- 43:04have sandwiches with this you could do
- 43:06anything you wanted there's a lot of
- 43:08different options for all the parts of
- 43:10this meal
- 43:12enjoy this meal was delicious and really
- 43:15easy to put together the bread does take
- 43:17some time but as long as you plan ahead
- 43:19it's really very simple to prepare
- 43:21granted in a grid down emergency you
- 43:23would probably have to adjust how you go
- 43:25about preparing the bread but it's a
- 43:27very basic bread recipe and a great item
- 43:30to have in your Arsenal my best advice
- 43:32for meals in a jar is to pick out a
- 43:34recipe that you want to try and then
- 43:35make one jar prepare that one jar and
- 43:38try it out feed it to your family make
- 43:41sure you like it everyone has different
- 43:43tastes and what one person loves might
- 43:45just not be another person's cup of tea
- 43:48try the recipe and hopefully you love it
- 43:50as is or maybe there's a few things that
- 43:52you want to tweak with the seasonings
- 43:54swap out a veggie ingredient for
- 43:56something else maybe you need to adjust
- 43:58something with the water amount or the
- 43:59cook time especially if you live in an
- 44:01area with different humidity levels if
- 44:04you make changes note them down on your
- 44:06recipe so that you remember and then
- 44:08once you're happy with the recipe then
- 44:10you can make it up in bulk and really
- 44:11stock your shelves it doesn't take much
- 44:14more time to make up six 10 or 12 jars
- 44:17than it does to make one when you line
- 44:19it up assembly line style then you can
- 44:21take advantage of sales and buying in
- 44:23bulk to save some money you can get even
- 44:26more savings if get together with a
- 44:28group of friends and have a meal and a
- 44:29Jar party buy things by the case and
- 44:31split the cost and you'll have fun and
- 44:34catch up while you do it it depends on a
- 44:37lot of factors but I typically get three
- 44:39to four servings out of a quarts siiz
- 44:41jar meal if you're typically only
- 44:43feeding one or two people you can divide
- 44:45these recipes in half and make quart
- 44:47recipes in a pint pint recipes in a half
- 44:50pint and so on and so forth when you do
- 44:52make my meal in a jar recipes I would
- 44:53love it if you would come back to the
