Week in the Life: Cooking Chili, Freeze Drying Tomatoes, + Things Fall Apart
I’ve gotten lots of requests to do more “Week in the Life” videos lately! So this week, I’m taking you along with me as I do all the things!! You get to see real life…because things fall apart! Quite literally…
In this Week in the Life: Cooking Chili, Freeze Drying Tomatoes, + Things Fall Apart video, we chat about ALL the things and see how many things are falling apart in our 1960’s house. We talk about what I’m feeding my family and I show you some simple make-ahead breakfast meals that I treat myself to! My family also ate some delicious breakfast casseroles and I made some chili using the home-canned goods in the grocery store in my basement!! More about that later!!
As I do ALL the things, we chat about our plans for the week (some much needed momma-friend time!) and some upcoming projects (too many to count!)
I am calling this week my spring cleaning project week. We decluttered MEGA & LOTS. I tackled the bathroom before it was gutted and also the grocery store in my basement, which needed some attention before the grocery store in my basement restock!!
The 1960’s Bathroom Reno…things are falling apart!
In my 1960s bathroom, we dare to sneak in the bathroom to take a look at how many tiles we’ve lost today! Then you join me as I take everything out so they can totally gut it the next day! After I take everything out of the bathroom, I have to reorganize the bathroom supply area of the grocery store in my basement. We take a look at what we have already and plan what I need to buy to restock the shelves.
Then I hop over to the pantry in the grocery store in my basement for chili ingredients!! We use lots of the home-canned goods and just a few of the store bought cans to make this hearty chili! I’m hoping to make this meal last for three days, but I may have to supplement with a freezer meal on the third day! Find the massive mega stock pot I like to use for my chili here!!
What else are we eating? 😋
So the big request in our house has been to try chili dogs because that’s what Sonic loves! We used up our hotdog buns we found at our Dollar Tree Bread Deals, some hotdogs from Costco, and just canned hotdog chili to make all the Sonic hopes and dreams come true!

You can also watch as I make a total MESS freeze drying with my Harvest Right Freeze Dryer and grinding tomato seeds with my Vitamix and skins from my massive mega tomato canning project into a tomato powder. I’ve had some friends who have asked what can you use tomato powder for. Tomato powder started out as a base to add water and make your own tomato sauce but people love to use it for seasoning and spice!
There are TONS of other adventures and conversations in my latest Week in the Life Video where lots of Things Fall Apart like shopping in my freezers for meals to pass along to families in need, taking a look at my recent canning projects, and discussing big upcoming gardening projects with Travis. We also clean and reorganize the Mega Momma kitchen and I give you a behind the scenes look at how I was setting up for another shopping haul video!!
See ALL my mega momma adventures and count how many things fall apart and how many messes we make here in the Week in the Life: Cooking Chili, Freeze Drying Tomatoes, + Things Fall Apart!!!!
