The beauty of egg cups is that they are super versatile – you can literally add any veggie combination you want and still end up with a terrific egg cup!

Here’s a 17 Day Diet compliant recipe for egg cups shared by a fellow 17dd Blog reader, Janice. Literally use the ingredients you have on hand, but if you need a starting recipe, this is the one to use!

Vacuum Sealing Tips and Tricks

Hubby is the undisputed king of foodsavering. Nothing comes in this house and goes into one of the freezers without his foodsavering it – well, maybe not frozen vegetables or ice cream, but pretty much everything else! Here are some of his vacuum sealing tips and tricks:

We recently made a trip to the local slaughterhouse and brought back quite a bit of meat.

So hubby hauled out the old foodsaver:

As well as the bags I bought him as a gift!

And then he choose what meat he wanted to work with.

Since these were simple steaks, it was pretty straightforward. He just place one of each into a bag, and foodsavered:

He uses one steak underneath the other to raise the steak he is currently working on to the correct height. It makes it easier to use your hands to press the button and hold the flap to the foodsaver.

The steak is labeled with date and type and now ready for the freezer.

Some items hubby foodsavers regularly are:

Flour:

Beans and Peas:

Lard and Butter:

The flour, lard and butter we keep in the freezer, the beans and peas in the stockpile. Since I hate the thought of bugs, I definitely am onboard with this habit of hubby’s!

Are you a vacuum sealer devotee like my hubby? What unique ideas do you have for vacuum sealing?
