    I absolutely love your channel and there hasn’t been a bit of content that I’ve not enjoyed. I think your content is gonna be kind of seasonal, so don’t stress about it. When that garden comes in, you’re going to be working in the garden and canning primarily, and that’s OK by me. And then in the winter with nothing much going on, the cooking videos are tremendous. But mixing it up is always good too. You do you, and I’m sure everyone will be happy with whatever you produce. That chicken looks amazing and I can’t wait to try your sauce recipe. Have an amazing weekend!

    I was married to a man from Pa Dutch country for 30 years and his step mother taught me to make red beat eggs, chicken pot pie with homemade noodles, pepper jelly, halupkis, canned red beats and so much more! I love your channel it brings back fond memories!

    Great looking meals!! When I am making extra casseroles I line the Pyrex with plastic wrap, fill the dish and freeze. Once it is frozen I take it out of the pan and wrap it well , label it and put it back. On the day I want to cook it I unwrap it and put it back in the dish to thaw and bake. I use the same four Pyrex over and over and my "Pyrex shaped" casseroles stack so well in the freezer and don't take up so much space. It's just the two us so one recipe make two meals and I usually double it and get four.
  • @BeckyInCa
    I never find your videos boring. I'm interested in all the subjects you mentioned. 😊
  • @JesusTruth768
    I think traditional meals and learning new recepies is Definitely very educational. And peaceful and resourceful. Thank you
  • I can honestly say that I have enjoyed and learned from all your content, you’re doing great!
  • I am also from PA, moving back in 2 months. Red beet eggs are a staple for sure. I can my beets with the vinegar and sugar that way all we have to do is cook and peel the eggs and throw everything in the jar with no extra work. My mom did this growing up too. So much easier.
  • I love all of your videos. I would love some budget meals that are from scratch. Too many budget cooks on YouTube use processed foods. I think that food can be made cheaply without coming from a box or a factory. ❤
  • @beekind1940
    I appreciate the peaceful manner you use in your content. And I so appreciate your end of video scriptures.
  • So enjoyed this! I'm originally from western PA so the "pickled eggs" and Halupki were old standards growing up! I always appreciate your devotion to your faith and family.
  • @gunther13101
    I enjoy all your videos!! I like how you change them up. Yes! Would love to see a Q&A with you and your hubby. Would also enjoy seeing more canning recipe videos. (Watching from Fenwick Island, Delaware)
  • Great recipes, Kelsey! I want to try your cabbage rolls, the potato leek soup, and bread. They all look so warm, delicious, and comforting. I used to make cherry cobbler when my children were little. I would get cherries from a market in Bucyrus, OH and can them every year. They were so yummy. My oldest granddaughter still loves making my cobbler. It's a great dessert especially with vanilla ice cream! I love watching bread making because I don't do that much anymore. I make sweet breads, but haven't done much with yeast breads. I loved your video on all the different kinds of breads you made a while back. Honestly, I love all homemaking things and gardening things (although I can't garden anymore). I think these skills are so valuable today. If I was young again, I would totally do what you are doing...building a homestead with gardening, canning, freezing, and all of that preservation stuff. You and your husband are very wise in building your homestead. You are a wonderful homemaker and mother. It's so nice to watch and listen to someone who has such high values for family and home life. I miss the days of young children under foot and their playfulness and laughter. Thanks for sharing your life with us! Have a great week and look forward to seeing you again soon!

    31:28 I was surprised to find out that honey, lime & salt, with optional additions of toasted walnuts, crumbled bacon, &/or crumbled blue cheese or chèvre, is also a really good flavor combo for Brussels sprouts.
  • I love watching you cook. Your recipes are so different from what i am used to. Gives me ideas.
  • @tracyg4783
    Try coating your Brussel sprouts with bacon grease instead of olive oil and putting brown sugar and caramelized onions with them.

    I live in Ohio and my mom always canned pickled beets and would make pickle eggs in it for holidays. I love pickled eggs!! Lots of Amish and German heritage in Ohio too.
  • My mother’s family is from West Virginia and we call them pickle beet eggs - I love them.
  • I love, love, love your channel. Listening to your calm way of being, and your content, is a great way for me to relax while I prep in my kitchen. I so enjoy your cooking and gardening, as both are of high interest to me. I realize I mentioned before I serve 24 children daily and my goal is to not only provide great nutrition, but teach them a way of living. I garden, cook, and preserve food with them. I feel blessed to have discovered you here. I love all that you share, looking forward to your future videos.
