That looks amazing! Nothing is better than fresh vegetables from the garden. I love stir-fry!!
This is my kind of cooking, throw together whatever you have into a stirfry or stew
Love it!
That was so helpful for me! This is my first year of growing veggies and I don’t have a lot at one time. Cooking is always a challenge for me but you made this look easy and carefree enough for me not to be intimidated. Thank you!
Put a wet cloth beside your cutting board. Don’t wring it out completely but not dripping either. It draws the juice from the onions to it instead of the moisture in your eyes.
That looks really yummy
Looks delicious! Your daughter is precious.
This is how I cook a lot from my small garden. Thanks for this video
Great video. Looks delicious. I love stir-fry.
That looks delicious – this is my mainstay meal. This time of year I also add green tomatoes and cabbage as well. And often, I Crack an egg or two in the pan or whip up some eggs and pour over the whole pan for an omelet of sorts. Your celery turned out well. Good video.
You have great content, but I could just watch you because of how pleasant you are.
By the sound in the background I am hearing I can tell it is egg laying time in the henhouse. One of those sounds I miss about my former farm.
I would love to see a video on how you make a meal for your whole family. Be fun to see and help at least me (I hope others) on how you get a good meal down when the whole family is over. When your use to cooking for 2 cooking for 10 or more gets daunting.
Nice, you have a 'mini-me' helping you today!
Thank you Caroline! We're sitting down to eat our stir fry of cabbage, tomatoes and basil over rice and leftover hamburgers 👏🏻
I shop from my fridge as well as from my garden, especially if I'm planning to be away from home for any length of time. I don't want anything going bad while I'm gone, so I work with the goal of using up anything perishable. This week I did a riff on miso soup which was great (with home-canned chicken broth, thanks to your lessons!). Last night was potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, kale, and hot sausage. Now I just have to decide what I'm going to do with red cabbage and celery before I leave town. Oh – and a couple of apples which may become dessert. I find it immensely satisfying to eat well with what I have, and to not waste anything! 🙂
This is amazing content. mahalo nui!! live in the garden, yes!
Thank you for sharing this helpful way of using what we have, I hope you are feeling well and you and the new baby are healthy and the your beautiful family is blessed.
I’m going to add one more to your list of three- soups, stir-frys, salads, and omelets/ frittatas. I’ve made many omelets out of fresh eggs and whatever.
I always take my celery leaves and put in brown paper bag – throw on top of the refrigerator let completely dry crumble up and put in a jar for dried celery to add to dishes.
Yum
Thank you for validating my style of cooking! Are usually add every vegetable I have into my stirfries noodle dishes and Mexican salads. I’ve learned with soup I can add everything the broccoli and my family loves it! But I had broccoli to almost every stirfry and pasta from Alfredo and mac & cheese to barbecue stirfry!
What kind and were do you get your celery seed and when do you plant it . Living in Ponderay. Just staring out here . Been here only 5 months have raised beds putting in,started beets and lettuce. Raspberries ready to going in. Need to plant are grapes. Have a herb bed in. Started with flower beds. Would like to know more about what to plant. I know carrots dont have seeds not were to get them.
Please do more day to day and cooking episodes!!
💚 Yum-O, looks delicious! I saw some of the grapes that you've been letting develop a little more sugar before you get frost 🍇.. 💚
I noticed you keep chickens. When there is no meat in the fridge to put with that stir fry, add in some finely chopped or dehydrated and crushed stinging nettle and sone scrambled eggs or hard boiled eggs and add in chopped right at the end.
