School Cafeteria Pizza - Throwback to the 80s School Pizza Recipe! 😎 QUICK & EASY Old Time Knowledge 2023-12-12 | I love school cafeteria pizza back in the 80s. The lunch ladies started doing something in the 90s that wasn't as great, but THIS recipe tastes spot on for how it was back in the 80s lunchrooms when I was in elementary and middle school. The recipe below is for a half-sheet pan. The secret ingredient is what does it!INGREDIENTS:1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees F)1 teaspoon sugar1 package active dry yeast1 teaspoon salt2 tablespoons olive oil3 cups all-purpose flour¾ cup powdered milk1 cup pizza sauce1 cup shredded mozzarella cheeseToppings of your choiceINSTRUCTIONS:1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand until the yeast is foamy.2. Add, olive oil, flour, salt, and the powdered milk. Stir or mix until a dough forms.3. Use a stand mixer or turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.4. Line the bottom of a half-sheet pan with parchment or sprinkle a light coating of corn meal. I prefer parchment!5. Place the dough in the pan and then press and roll it out until it spreads to all 4 corners of the pan. You'll probably want to let the dough rest for a few minutes first so it's easier to work with.6. Spread sauce, add cheese and desired toppings. 7. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. (The recipe I had said 20 minutes, but I find that's way too long in my oven.)Serve and enjoy!Here is the Retro style Tupperware that I had in the video:Canister Set - amzn.to/3NqZw4GBowls and Storage - amzn.to/3NnzCP8Here is an earlier video on making a regular pizza: youtu.be/AcObkUuJqlkI mentioned the wonderful channel @memesrecipessc.

How to Make a Tender, Succulent Pork Loin Roast - Ridiculously good and so easy to make! 😍 Old Time Knowledge 2023-04-22 | Here's a great dinner idea! This easy recipe will give you a delicious, succulent, flavorful, tender pork loin every time. I am using about a 2 lb. pork loin and Aldi Steak Seasoning (although any favorite seasoning blend that includes salt will do). I also often make this with my homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning. So simple! Just pat the pork loin dry and coat in about a tablespoon of olive oil and prick all over with a small, sharp knife. You don't want big deep gashes. You just want little holes where the seasonings can penetrate the loin and it will help it cook faster. If you prefer, you can use a fork. Coat the loin generously with steak seasoning and then sear on all sides in a hot skillet before transferring to a 400º oven and cooking for about 15 to 20 minutes on one side before turning over to the other side. The pork loin is done when a meat thermometer registers 145º in the center of the loin.If you're interested in the amazing knife I'm using in this video, visit the company at this link bit.ly/nk-otk and then you can use this code for a substantial discount: OLDTIMEKNOWLEDGE

Molasses Cake - Old timey, 100-year-old recipe from the Home Comfort Wood Stove Cookbook! Old Time Knowledge 2023-02-11 | This Molasses Cake recipe was published in my great-grandmother's "Home Comfort Wood Stove Cook Book."

Sausage Balls Recipe! Old, hidden recipe card reveals beloved family recipe! Easy Appetizer! 🎄😋 Old Time Knowledge 2022-12-12 | This is an easy Christmas appetizer, ideal make-ahead food for the holidays. I published a sausage ball recipe a couple of years ago and it is one I've been using for probably close to 10 years, but I recently found a stack of recipe cards that were given to me by family members DECADES ago. I was in my early 20s and I'm in my late 40s now, so we're talking almost 30 years ago. This particular recipe came from my Aunt Belle and I was a little skeptical since it uses less cheese and more Bisquick, but her sausage balls always were delicious so I didn't hesitate to give it a try. THESE ARE IT, Y'ALL! These are so good! Way better than that other sausage ball recipe, and that other one was also delicious! These add paprika (and I added in some cayenne, even though it wasn't in the recipe.) If you want, you can add more cheese, more sausage, or less bisquick, but I think adding in the teaspoon of paprika and not using that full pound of cheese really makes for a better sausage ball. INGREDIENTS1 lb sausage, mild or hot10 oz grated cheese (in this video, I'm using an 8 oz block that I grated, so not quite 10 oz.)3 cups Bisquick (I'm using Great Value brand since Walmart was out of Bisquick)1 tsp. paprikaI also added a few shakes of cayenne. If you need to add in some water to bring everything together, you can do that, but probably no more than about 1/4 cup.Once it's all mixed together, form into little balls and bake in 350º oven for about 10-12 minutes. Enjoy!Here is the link to my earlier Sausage Ball video: youtu.be/CgoFC-jm6twHere is my holiday playlist: youtube.com/watch?v=yQj94KVZiW4&list=PLcyZYj2Dr9a4wv2xCsN8zZXYZWqSVFfWC

BUTTERSCOTCH PIE - This is so AMAZING! 😍 Perfect dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas - Delicious! Old Time Knowledge 2022-11-23 | This Butterscotch Pie recipe comes from Taste of Home magazine. I had never even tried butterscotch pie before, much less made it, but when I came across this recipe I knew I had to try it. I ADORE BUTTERSCOTCH! You can't find it anymore. I used to love to get Butterscotch Milkshakes from Baskin Robins but then they did away with the butterscotch syrup. Butterscotch used to be available all over the place but then the confectionary powers that be ruined it by ditching butterscotch for "salted caramel", which, let's face it, is just a poor excuse for butterscotch. Anyway, here is the original recipe at Taste of Home magazine: tasteofhome.com/recipes/butterscotch-pieHere is how I make my own homemade vanilla.

PREPPER PANTRY - Summer Vegetable Soup Pressure Canning Recipe - Preserve your harvest! Food storage Old Time Knowledge 2022-09-24 | Preserve your harvest with this delicious Summer Soup recipe. Full description is below.Find my full playlist of canning recipes here:youtube.com/watch?v=VJoRtr4JpTE&list=PLcyZYj2Dr9a5f2mdQmSL6D0848NhgLy5OGet a 10% discount on ForJars lids with my coupon code OTK10: bit.ly/OTK10ForJarsSummer Soup is a very traditional eastern NC soup. It may be popular elsewhere, but I'm from here so this is what I know. This is an ideal way to enjoy the fruits of your garden harvest and even have them in your pantry through the winter. This soup uses a small amount of ham for seasoning and it is SAFE as it is using the same ratio of ham to vegetables as you will find in the tested safe recipe for Split Pea with Ham soup. Some say that you can never can ham, but if you follow the principles in the tested recipes, you certainly can can ham — but just know what you're doing. This is not something that brand new or inexperienced canners should do, but modifying recipes with the same content principles is how we wind up with so many canning cookbooks with lots of safe recipes.In this video I'm canning 9 pints. The ingredients are:• just under 2 cups of ham• corn• okra• green beans • fresh (or frozen) lima beans (not dried lima beans)• tomato• saltI also use a weighted gauge (regulator) on my canner. Here is an affiliate link if you're interested in checking it out. This will help you listen to ensure your canner is at the right pressure without having to keep your eye on the dial gauge the whole time. amzn.to/3LGHqcwHere are other tested canning recipes that use a small amount of ham or other cured meats:Canning Split Pea Souphttps://ucanr.edu/sites/mfp_of_cs/files/312455.pdfBaked Beans (Bernardin - Canadian division of same company as Ball)bernardin.ca/recipes/en/baked-beans.htm?Lang=EN-USSalt PorkNational Center for Home Food Preservationhttps://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_04/beans_baked.htmlPork, ham, or baconBean Soup (Bernardin - Canadian division of same company as Ball)bernardin.ca/recipes/en/bean-soup.htm?Lang=EN-US
How to make Crispy, Lacy, Fried Cornbread - Old-fashioned southern style recipe. Easy & delicious! Old Time Knowledge 2022-09-10 | Crispy, lacy cornbread is so easy to make. You don't even need a precise recipe. You just need to understand the principles of how it's made. You're using regular corn meal, salt, and water. If you like sweet cornbread, you can also add sugar. Some people call this hot water cornbread, but we never bothered with using hot water to make this. It turns out the same with room temperature water.The main thing to remember is make a batter that you like the taste of and then thin it out to make a crispy cornbread. The thicker the batter, the thicker (and chewier) your cornbread will be. The thinner the batter, the crisper and thinner the cornbread will be.Learn how to make eastern NC style collards and cornmeal dumplings here: youtu.be/MFMT5sz5fNYMore traditional, old-fashioned, southern recipes: youtube.com/watch?v=MFMT5sz5fNY&list=PLcyZYj2Dr9a6LbnIJGxmNHjwsWyDC95zm
Easy Lemon Chicken Piccata Recipe - SO DELICIOUS! 😋 Better than a restaurant! Old Time Knowledge 2022-09-03 | This easy Lemon Chicken Piccata Recipe is one of our ABSOLUTE FAVORITE things to eat for supper. And it's so easy! I use one pan and one pot for everything. This recipe does call for capers, but if you can't find capers or you're just skeptical about them, you don't have to use them. I do recommend them, though. They make this dish extra special.Here's how to make it.INGREDIENTSFor the chicken:• Boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced (I use about 1 lb for this recipe)• 1/2 cup flour• 1/4 tsp. salt (+ more to taste when done)• 2 Tbsp. olive oil (+ more if needed)For the sauce: • 1 tsp. minced garlic• 1 cup chicken broth (I use chicken stock base + water)• 1/4 cup lemon juice• 3 Tbsp. butter• 2 Tbsp. capers, drainedAlso you'll need a box of your favorite pasta (I use angel hair) and a jar of your favorite pasta sauce. (I like Bertolli Garlic & Olive Oil.) You also might need a little bit more olive oil to ensure your chicken is all cooked through, as well as some salt to taste for the chicken. INSTRUCTIONS1. Preheat oven to 180º F (or no more than 200º F) to keep chicken warm once it's cooked.2. Mix 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup salt then lightly dust diced chicken.3. Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil in skillet and cook chicken until done. Don't crowd the pan. Cook in batches and keep cooked chicken warm in oven.4. Once chicken is done, use same pan on low or medium low to heat garlic until fragrant. (Note: If pan has a bunch of oil in it when you're done cooking chicken, blot some out with paper towels. If the bottom of the pan has too much flour stuck to the bottom so that the whole bottom of the pan is brown, you might actually need to clean the pan a bit before adding a bit more oil. Too much of anything is going to make a less-than-pleasant sauce.)5. As soon as garlic is fragrant, add 1 cup chicken broth and continue to stir, breaking up bits of flour at bottom of pan. Continue cooking until it begins to thicken. Once thickened, add lemon juice. Stir and continue heating. Just before you're ready to serve, add butter to melt and and add in capers and heat through. 6. Heat up pasta sauce in a separate bowl.7. Once pasta is cooked, assemble everything and serve. Pasta with pasta sauce. Chicken beside it with lemon caper sauce. Enjoy!
PREPPER PANTRY - Canning Pinto Beans with Quick Soak Method for food storage (ForJars lids Review) Old Time Knowledge 2022-08-27 | For USDA guidelines on canning dry beans, go here: https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_04/beans_peas_shelled.htmlYou can get 10% off and try out ForJars canning lids for yourself by clicking here: bit.ly/OTK10ForJarsThis review of ForJars canning lids may help you make a decision as to whether or not you want to spend your hard-earned money on this product. I know my mind is made up.Some backstory: I've had more than more jar failures than I care to count over the last year or so — and with Ball lids, no less! I don't know what is going on with them lately, but their product is just not up to the standards that I've long come to expect from them. I wanted to try out a different brand —and put this different brand to the test on some totally new jars from the same case in which I had a few failed jars when I canned potatoes a month or so ago. I thought it would be good to put aside the unused (brand new!) Ball lids and rings that came with them, and use ForJars lids instead. So, how did they turn out? You'll see in the video!

These are made differently than the fluffy biscuit video you might have already seen. You will have to handle the dough a little bit more, but don't let that worry you. These biscuits are meant to hug right around that melty cheese on the inside.INGREDIENTS2 cups self-rising flour (I love Daily Bread self-rising flour)5 Tbsp. cold butter2/3 to 3/4 cup milkEnough cheese to go in all the biscuitsINSTRUCTIONS1. Preheat oven to 475º and make sure it is up to that temperature for at least 20 minutes before you are ready to bake.2. Mix together all ingredients, beginning with flour and butter, then add in the milk.3. Work dough until it is all together in a nice ball. You aren't kneading it like you would yeast bread, but you do need to press the dough together so it's all sticking and holding together well.4. Pinch off a ball of dough, flatten it on your hand, and press some cheese in the center. Pull the edges of the dough up around the cheese and pinch together before putting the seams face down on your baking pan.5. Once you have all biscuits on pan ready to go, bake them for about 10 minutes or until tops begin to brown.6. As soon as you take biscuits out of the oven, brush tops with butter. 7. Wait about 5 minutes or so before serving.Enjoy!Here is the grater I use: amzn.to/3QGSPeCHere are some of my other biscuit videos:How to make Perfect, Fluffy Biscuits every timeyoutu.be/lt8oX4h0W6ASweet Potato Biscuitsyoutu.be/i0zlKolt0DETraditional Buttermilk Biscuitsyoutu.be/rAJHhUAEUMcSausage Gravy & Biscuitsyoutu.be/5-p1T_bRMYk

PREPPER PANTRY How to Can Collard Greens SOUTHERN STYLE recipe (ham hocks or side meat) #prepping Old Time Knowledge 2022-06-08 | I didn't plan to make a video about canning collards with seasoning meat, but when I started making this batch of collards to make use of what's coming out of my garden, I decided it was a great time to answer a viewer request. Initially, this was just going to be about cooking collards with a DIFFERENT meat than I normally use for seasoning. Typically I use streak of lean (salt pork) or ham hocks, but this time I decided to try using side meat.The flavor of the broth from the side meat is good, but I did have to add salt, whereas when I use ham hocks or streak of lean, I typically don't need to add salt. While I didn't intentionally add the meat that I used in this video to the jars, you would use the same process if you were using a better meat (like ham hocks or streak of lean) — assuming you are using quart jars! The processing time is the same for collard greens AND meats so 90 minutes per jar. If you wanted to add meat to pint jars, you'd need to process them for 75 minutes instead of the 70 minutes that you would typically process collard greens.Here is the guidance from the National Center for Home Food Preservation about canning "Spinach and other greens": https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_04/spinach_greens.htmlI do have two other videos about COOKING collards eastern NC style. We typically cook collards and make corn meal dumplings (and often potatoes) to go with them. DELICIOUS! And it can be a meal all on its own.Here are my other collard cooking videos:How to make collards with corn meal dumplings and potatoesyoutu.be/MFMT5sz5fNYHow to make eastern NC style collards and corn meal dumplings (the first ever video on this channel from May 2020!)youtu.be/eYaDkLrny5gHere is an affiliate link to the PRESTO REGULATOR I use with my Presto Pressure Canner. amzn.to/3QdmBHyIf you have a hard time finding ham hocks where you live, you can the same brand that I buy right here: danlbooneham.com/our-products.php
PREPPER PANTRY - Pork for Tacos de Carnitas | Budget friendly, DELICIOUS #prepare #prepping #canning Old Time Knowledge 2022-06-01 | Tacos de carnitas with salsa verde is one of my very favorite things, so when I first tried canning Ball’s Roast Pork in Spicy Broth recipe, I was super excited. This is a super easy and convenient way to have pork carnitas in your pantry ALL THE TIME! Here is the recipe from The All New Ball Book of Canning and Preserving amzn.to/3NpBc17 (affiliate)Here is the link to the regulator that I use on my Presto pressure canner. amzn.to/3tcpYVAThe recipe makes about 6 pint jars or 3 quarts. INGREDIENTS (and what I do differently)3 lb. boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt), trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes4 tsp. salt, divided (I don’t divide my salt, I only add salt to broth)1/2 tsp ground black pepper1 Tbsp canola oil (I don’t use this)2 qt. chicken bone broth (I just used water + chicken bouillon)1 8 oz onion, halved then sliced into thin slices2 Tbsp. dried crushed red pepper (I think I only use 1 Tbsp)1 1/2 Tbsp. dried oregano3 garlic cloves (I use about a Tbsp or so of minced garlic instead)INSTRUCTIONS1. Preheat oven to 425º. 2. Roast pork cubes for about 30 minutes or until it’s beginning to brown.3. While pork is roasting, make broth with all the other ingredients.4. Bring broth to a boil, then turn down to simmer for 5 minutes.5. When pork is ready, time to get everything in jars. Add pork first, then broth. (I get onions from broth first to ensure even distribution, then ladle the broth on top.)6. Debubble jars.7. Clean rims of jars with vinegar, add lids and rings.8. Process pints for 75 minutes and quarts for 90 minutes at the appropriate pressure for your altitude. (See this chart https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_05/strips_cubes_chunks.html)9. Once jars are done processing and pressure in canner has naturally dropped to zero, leave jars in canner for 10 minutes before removing them from canner and cooling them.Be sure once your jars are down to roon temperature that you remove the rings and wash the jars before storing them in your pantry.

Raised Bed Gardening - Vegega 9-in-1 🤔 Is it sturdy? Is it deep enough? Will it work in my garden? Old Time Knowledge 2022-05-11 | I have had a bad experience with a metal raised garden bed, so I was skeptical when I was first approached by Vegega to review one of their garden beds. Nevertheless, I went into it with an open mind. Even once the box had arrived, I could tell it was different than the other one I had. It was HEAVY. In this video, I show you the 9 possible configurations for this bed from the garden bed's instructions, how I chose to assemble it, how I filled it with cardboard, compost from my own garden, collard leaves, garden soil, and covered with a layer of straw mulch before adding plants. I am definitely going to want more of these. No wood to haul home from the hardware store. MUCH taller than my regular raised beds (which I do love, because my son built them for me). MUCH sturdier than other metal raised beds I've seen (and used!).

PREPPER PANTRY - How to Can Sausage - Shelf-stable for quick meals and helps save money! #prepare Old Time Knowledge 2022-04-22 | I rearranged my freezer a couple of days ago and found some country sausage I bought last winter — a 5 lb box of rope sausage — and I decided to take out it out of my freezer, remove it from the casings, fry it up, and pressure can it. This will be a great shelf-stable meat to have on hand. I decided to can it in smaller jars — mostly half-pint jars, but also a couple of 12 oz. jars and a single pint jar. Why? Because a lot of times when we use sausage, we just need a little bit and end up freezing the rest anyway. This way, I just take down the amount I need from off the shelf and dump it in a pan, fry it up, and there's no worrying about how to store what we're not eating right then.For more canning recipes, check out my playlist: youtube.com/watch?v=VJoRtr4JpTE&list=PLcyZYj2Dr9a5f2mdQmSL6D0848NhgLy5O&ab_channel=OldTimeKnowledge
