Shana Boudreau - The Scrappy Rebel Currently resurrecting 1800s protocols for a modern world. 🍎⚓️ Stay Scrappy! The Scrappy Rebel: Rebel. Rescue. Create. I call it the Scrappy Rebellion.

In a volatile world, self-sufficiency is the ultimate rebellion. 🌿 I’m Shana: a former Distiller using 19th-century science to rescue food and reclaim lost skills. I’m Shana Boudreau, and I believe that history isn’t something to just look at—it’s something to use. In a world that feels increasingly out of our control, the quietest, most powerful way to take our power back is in the kitchen. As the former Head Distiller of Maritime Moonshine, I spent years mastering the science of fermentation and botanicals. Today, I’m combining that professional "Distiller’s Eye" with my passion for 19th-century living. What I do:

Resurrecting the 1800s: I’m currently deep-diving into the 1862 Dr. Chase manuals and 19th-century protocols to prove that the "old ways" are the best way to live a self-sufficient, modern life. Historical On-Site Sessions: I am currently developing a series of "in-the-field" historical recreations, bringing 19th-century recipes and chemistry to life in authentic settings. The Art of the Rescue: From making "Distiller-Grade" Apple Cider Vinegar from scraps to preserving the harvest, I teach you how to be a creator, not just a customer. This is a safe way to rebel. It’s practical, it’s frugal, and it’s deeply rooted in our Maritime heritage. Let's get scrappy.

Sound on for an ASMR of flour being sifted in an antique sifter. The visual is pretty satisfying as well 😍🎧🎼👀

Stop making hockey pucks! 🏒💥

If your molasses cookies keep turning out heavy, dense, and tough enough to break a tooth, you’re making one critical mistake—and it usually starts with the flour bag.

Depending on where you grew up in Atlantic Canada, this pillow-soft, spice-packed heritage biscuit goes by a completely different name. Whether your family called them Fat Archies, Moosehunters, Lumberjacks, Long Johns, Camp Cookies, or Pubnico Cookies, this classic recipe is pure East Coast comfort.

In today’s video, I’m sharing the secret technique to keeping them soft, plus a modern "no-patience" hack that completely bypasses the sticky mess.

Slice 'em warm, drop in a cold slab of salted butter, grab a sharp piece of cheddar cheese, and let's get baking! 🧈🧀

Tomorrow is filming day in the kitchen and fall weather means we are baking a loaf of my Old Fashioned Brown Bread! This recipe comes from my personal cook book of favourite recipes.

Made with oat meal and Crosby Foods this bread never disappoints. Follow me on YouTube at 'TheScrappyRebel' to make sure you don't miss this easy and delicious recipe!

It's a beautiful fall day here in New Brunswick. Time to get ready for the winter months ahead.

Hey friends! 🥒✨
If your garden is suddenly overflowing with cucumbers—or if you’ve got a few overgrown, yellowing monster cukes sitting on the counter that you’re not sure what to do with—don't throw them out!

Overripe cucumbers are actually secret gold for making Lady Ashburnham Pickles. They have that perfect firm, thick crunch that holds up amazingly well to a classic sweet and tangy mustard pickle brine, making them a fantastic Atlantic Canadian heritage staple to stock in the pantry.

I just put together a new video showing how quick and easy it is to transform those giant or forgotten cucumbers into a delicious batch of Lady Ashburnhams (zero waste required!):

Give it a watch if you're looking for a fun preserving project this week. And if anyone has extra cukes or a favorite variation on the recipe, I’d love to hear about it in the comments below!

Happy pickling!

I meant to only spend $20 at the estate sale today. Oh well, i have an amazing antique wringer and wash board that have the original ink branding, so incredible, I wish you could see these in person. The ink and graphics is just amazing. Have you ever used either of these?

Brunch the Ukrainian way with a hearty bowl of Shpundra (beetroot and pork stew) and a side of toasted baguette. This is my take and its delicious. Beets are an affordable long lasting root vegetable that I don't get nearly enough of.

The best thing about food is you can experience a taste of other cultures without the pricy travel ticket!

I do not recommend buying any kitchen appliances from as they will not refund your purchase and will only give a store credit. Returned a nutribullet Foodprocessor as the motor was not powerful at all and there had to be something wrong with it. They made me wait while the manager looked up different models even though i told her i looked alread and they didnt have anything i wanted. They then made me wait while they took a phone call and then had a conversation not related to my transaction. Next i will contact the credit card company as I thought there was some sort of purchase protection with them. In todays scrappy world you have the power to make decisions with your money and I would recommend over Canadian Tire as at least they will refund products not working right . Canadian Tire your customer service is not acceptable and I truly hope my followers do not have to deal with you
