10 Foods I'll Never Buy From the Store Again...

Great learnings for me. Wondering, how long it takes to carbonate the ginger beer. I'd love to try that out. When do you transfer it into the fridge?

Your cheaper or not evaluation is discounting the hefty price of dedicated kitchen gear. I'm seeing $240 of ice cream maker (after tax and shipping.)

I have mastered stock. Now onto ginger beer...

Frozen (healthier) waffles are the best. Keep them in the freezer, pop them into the toaster and they will be better than fresh. Done in 2min and will keep you from the more sugary stuff

it strains credulity that any of these would be "easier" than purchasing at the store. i can appreciate that some of them are easy, perhaps even very easy, but not easy-er.

Can you make the ice cream without this creamer machine?

OK so, what I take from this - you can make lot of things at home and it will be probably better and healthier, but it will take effort and you might not save money. That to me sounds like a hobby! Which is fine, but probably not for your average Joe. THAT being said, I will be making the mustard! Thanks for the video :)

those wafles look fukin rank

Thanks for the great thoughts. Here in the Midwest spinach is a real bitch to grow. Doesn't germinate. Doesn't germinate. Too hot! We get about a week of spinach for all our work. Chijimisai and Komatsuna are incredible and more worthwhile here.

Good video topic especially with the current economy. There's no signs of anything getting cheaper anytime soon so it's time to garden and learn to do this stuff.

So you did buy that measuring container

Granola with pumpkin seeds is amazing. Easy to add some finely chopped dried pear or apricot for some sweetness. Ground cinnamon also adds sweetness without adding carbohydrates.

There’s nothing like a fresh sourdough waffle. I grew up on these tangy, flavorful waffles. Downside: plain/“buttermilk” waffles suck.

Weird trivia fact: the classic, bright green pistachio ice cream is actually almond flavored, most of the time.

All of them should be cheaper, but you don't get your essential ingredients from the right place

Does the ginger beer become alcoholic?

I am SO looking forward to that how to raise chicks video!!!

I have had wonderful oatmeal cookies made with candied ginger chunks instead of raisins. That's another really good use for candied ginger

I appreciate you not pretending the coke doesn't taste good.

Hey I'm a professional chef, chicken feet is also a really good ingredient to level up your stock! The collage adds a great flavor!

We are at the unlimited eggs point and I will never ever go back to store eggs. We get enough eggs that we sell our extra to our neighbors and it completely pays for the food costs for the chickens themselves.

How long do you need to burp the sodas for?

Great video! So much information. Thank you.

Salad dressing???

We go to Costco pretty often and get their $5 rotisserie chickens and eat off them for lunches/dinners throughout the week. Once we're done with it, I just toss the remainder in my instant pot with some roasted veggies, garlic, and whatever herbs I have that are on the way out. A few hours later I've got amazing chicken stock. It's probably the best $5 we spend each week.

knew you were a real one but admitting the coke was still good when you could have pretended it tasted bad was a respectable move

Just FYI, your ginger beer also has 55g of sugar, which granted isn't HFCS, but still the same amount of sugar as a coke, especially a Mexican coke or any cane sugar soda.

Instead if ginger beer I make water kefir! It's pretty much the same process as milk kefir but with sugar water or fruit juice instead. It goes great in cocktails or just as a soda alternative. It seems like there's no storebought product that is a sweetness level between absurdly sweet and sparkling water, so making it at home at just the right sweetness level feels great.
Same with granola! So much better homemade. Also greek yogurt/sour cream, kimchi, sauerkraut, chicken stock, and jam

Thank you for all the education in the kitchen!

Why do you use Jesus' name as a swear word? You use the Creators name as a swear word. Would you use your mother's name as a swear word. The Bible says you will be held accountable for it.

Good info. Thanks for the info.

200 dollar singe function ninja creamy wish there was a better alternative

Fantastic video!

Swanson chicken bone broth is pretty good for sipping.

My number 1 that I NEVER buy anymore is peanut butter. I buy roasted peanuts and blend them with salt, then add chia and flax. I started getting powdered peanut butter to lower my calorie intake but mix it with my homemade stuff. I find it so sweet compared to mine and I need to cut it down by adding mine lol.

Do you have written receipes

Your ice cream looked awfully dry and icy. Not enough fat? Or is that ice cream maker really not the best? You totally lost me with "alcohol." It's entirely a matter of taste, but even the best beer doesn't match a good bottle of Riesling. Sake and Mead are both ok, occasionally even "really good!" But they are both to niche for me... good for particular occasions but nothing that I want to pop open on a random afternoon.

Oi. No dissing Van Leeuwen.

Beer has increased in price. But I found you can make good beer for what Busch or Bud Light costs.

A half cup of sugar is 100 grams…. That’s quite a bit even compared to store ice cream.

I can't possibly think making anything is easier than buying it unless you live in the middle of nowhere. LOL

So much great info :) Excited to see the chicken video.

Get a chamber vacuum sealer… you’re welcome…. Bags are way cheaper.

Do you have to burp the bottles when in the fridge?

I made miso, but before the video. Homemade Koji, chickpeas for the beans, about a ten gallon batch. Made about ten years ago, about three gallons left.
Also brew beer, about 80 gallons a year. Brewing a great Belgiain style costs about the same as milk.

You should try making your own Greek yoghurt. I make mine using Chef Step’s sous vide recipe and a 1.00 individual serving cup of store bought yoghurt as the starter. I’ve seen recipes showing people making their starter at home. I imagine you could buy some dehydrated starter powder too, maybe. You may want to look into this and test the best way to do the whole process from
A to Z and make a video about it. Sometimes, I’ll mix in some heavy cream after the yoghurt is strained to remove excess liquid. I make homemade tatziki sauce with it or eat it with honey and granola. Good stuff!!!
