****** About Living Traditions Homestead ******

Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.

We put out 5 new videos every week! Tuesday through Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

you poured that scrambled egg from that bowl into the pan so well, I was waiting for it to go everywhere like I would have end up doing. All very good ideas!!

You can freeze 2 whisked raw eggs in a Ziploc bag. Get out as much air as possible and freeze them laying flat. Most recipes in baking need an even number of eggs & you'll know each little bag has 2. They're only 1/4" or less thick when frozen & you can stand them on end like filing them so they take very little space up in the freezer.

I just love you! Thank you. Just got 48 eggs and didn’t know what to do with them during this coved crisis. I’ve already hard boiled some, made egg salad and even tuna salad. Your suggestions are fabulous thank you so much 😊

I just found your videos and had to comment on this was to use eggs up. Before retiring and I had the chickens I would make angel food cakes to freeze (using the whites) and pound cakes to use up the yolks. They both took exactly 12 eggs each. Very nice treats for the winter months, I'd use my frozen strawberries over the top.

I wish that I had seen this before I tried the ice cube tray idea!! 3 websites assured me they would fit, but 8 eggs filled the 12, and very messily! But I have made mini quiche, no crust, with turkey bacon, spinach, onion, garlic, seasonings, 12 eggs, a bit of milk and cheese, baked in 2 large muffin pans, great taste, easy to thaw! Thanks for the ideas!

+I’m trying to buy & keep stuff healthy to eat during this “stay-cation” from Coronavirus & didn’t know what to do with my eggs so I am so egg-cited to watch this video....Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 😁🙋🏻

Quiche! I like to make 2 or 3 quiches at a time and then cut them into pieces which freeze really well. :) Loving the content on this channel.

Sarah, I freeze my eggs as well. I discovered that you could do that by accident. I collected eggs when it was below zero and they were already frozen. The eggs did have a crack in them but did not explode. I thawed one as an experiment. I put it on a dish and let it thaw completely then I fried it and it was perfect. I didn't think it would be any good or would fall apart in the skillet. It didn't. You could not tell the difference between a fresh egg and the frozen one. So I do freeze mine in the shell when I get too many. Oh, I love your channel.

I find that putting parchment paper or wax paper between each one before freezing works great to get them apart. I have containers that fit homemade hamburgers that I do this with also.

Fantastic!! I never thought about that, and I am a firm believer in if they sell it in the freezer section in cardboard it can be done at home. Never had a good frozen breakfast sandwich or breakfast burrito...but that is going to change!! Thanks Sarah!!!

[heidibush]

OMG....you just made my baking life in the winter so much better. Thank you for this tutorial, you're great at it. Please keep making videos. Blessings.

[dawncooper]

Great idea Sarah! Will be doing that for sure. Rinse, dry then crush egg shells to put around plants to help with horn worms ect..

I have 7 kids they love breakfast burritos. Great for camping, after school snack or a sports night dinner on the go.

[sstarkey]

Sure wish I had a freezer full right now with this shelter in place situation. Thanks for these tips!

Preserving eggs without electricity would be my favourite method. Another Youtube channel tested preservation methods from the 18th and 17th century, especially methods for preserving eggs. The best method was laying the eggs in a ceramic vessel with a saturated solution of slaked lime (Calciumhydroxide). The eggyolk became a little bit unstable as time went by, but the eggs were still absolutely fresh after 8 MONTHS. You could use them for baking and cooking. So maybe you consider to buy a pot of Calcium hydroxide for times when no electricity is available. The USA often have got blackouts.

Hey, stumbled across your channel and love what you're doing. 2 words for you. "Scotch Eggs". Basicly a partly boiled egg, wrapped in pork sausage, breaded in the traditional flower, egg wash, bread crumb, I bake mine but it's traditionally deep fired. Eaten hot or cold for breakfast, snack, or any time you're hungry. I used them for a rushed morning, reach into the fridge, pop into the toaster oven, go out to walk the dog, come back to a breakfast I can take on the road. Perfect for picnics, fishing, hunting or camping trips. Kids love them, seasoning is whatever works for you. Sausage can be anything you like. (italian sausage is a bit to greasy for me), I make my own sausage, and do honey and garlic, or a mix of that and a traditional english banger. It's so good your doctor is going to get mad with you. I'm starting to experiment where, in the prep process, is the best to freeze them. If I want stuff to last, I vacuum seal stuff. One kitchen tool I wish a bought decades before. Keep posting your stuff!

i make breakfast casserole with all the things we like such as bacon, sausage, sweet peppers, mushrooms, onions, tater tots cheese and milk. we cook in silicone bar s let them cool then pop them out to cool. we put 2 in snack baggies and then all of those in a gallon freezer bag to freeze. works out great for all of us when we are going in different directions with our service dogs or to take fishing with us. thanks for the tips...love them. keep videos coming, they relly help right now

I crack one egg into each ramekin, pierce the yolks with a sharp knife, and bake them at 350 for 15 - 20 minutes. They fit perfectly onto an English Muffin with a slice of American cheese and a slice of Canadian bacon. I freeze the assembled "McMuffins" on a parchment lined cookie sheet before individually wrapping them in plastic wrap and sealing them up in a gallon freezer Ziploc baggie.

To eat: We unwrap the sandwiches, "open them up" into two halves, place them on a lined cookie sheet, and bake them from frozen in a 350 oven for about 15 - 20 minutes or just until heated through. They can also be microwaved, but we prefer them from the oven.
