The BESTTTTT green enchilada sauce. I love using this on eggs, a sandwich, tacos, and of course - enchiladas.
I have the full printable recipe on my blog as well as a video on YouTube showing you my entire process.
Comment SAUCE and i'll dm ya the link to both!
How I make my overnight oats!
1 cup oats
1 cup water
1TB honey
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 TB yogurt
1 TB chia seeds
(Measurements are approx! If you want more/less sweet, add more/less water)
So easy to make and such a fast breakfast. Helps start your morning with fiber too! 🤍

I LOVEEE having concentrates on hand! They're so great to have for a party or just a hot summer day. They're also a GREAT way to use up any fruit that may be a little too soft/ripe.
What concentrate variations have you tried?

If you're swimming in jalapenos, you need to turn some of them into this cowboy candy! Sweet, spicy and great on a sandwich, eggs, pizza, and so much more.
And one of the best parts is that you'll likely have leftover brine and you can turn it into the MOST delicious BBQ sauce (that recipe is on my blog, too!).
Comment COWBOY for the link to the free printable recipe.
Okay love you byeee!

Homemade smoked deli meat from boneless turkey breasts!
I know not everyone has a smoker so let me know if you want to see how I’d do this in the oven. I’ve never actually done it for lunch meat, but I’m open to trying it! 🙌
Obviously you could just bake the breast whole but I think it’ll stay more moist if you do a wet brine first.
Now you’ve got some deli meat that’s ACTUALLY nitrate free for way less money.
Ziploc bag hack fail, but if your jar openers aren’t curved - lemme know if it works for you! 😂

Lemonade concentrates are so nice to have on hand for a party, or even just a hot summer day.
They’re also a great way to use up fruit that may be a little mushy (but not moldy!).
I’ve got the link to the blog post in the comments 🤍
You guys know I usually make you comment a word to get the link because of how FB suppresses my posts. I’ve heard yall don’t love it, so I’m hoping the link in the comments works better! It would be SO helpful if you could engage on this post to help it be seen.
Okay love you byeee!

The freezer scrap bag is at max capacity which means it’s time to make some chicken broth!
I save onion, garlic (including peels), carrot and celery scraps! Throw it all in a pot with water and some seasonings - I’ll get 10+ quarts for nearly $0.
Here’s how I help keep my chickens cool during the summer heat! They usually get a frozen tray every day or every other day.
These plastic trays don’t take up too much freezer space and I like how the ice chunk will pop right out so I don’t have to leave the tray behind.
