I am so pleased to see your channel steadily growing; thank you, Nyssa.

[@lynneanthony168]

Hi Nyssa, I was thinking while watching about what a wealth of knowledge you have in the kitchen and just how lovely it is to hear you speak. I am always smiling and uplifted at the end of each video . Thank you for that. 😊

[@FayeHolt]

You have been busy girl....Happy to see you looking so beautiful and in better health...your children are all beautiful and sweet....The food preps were amazing....I always look forward to your shopping trip and you do a fantastic job of it...

[@MistepMissy]

Nyssa - you look like you're feeling better. Your skin is glowing. Thank you again for another wonderful video! ❤❤❤

[@doobs444]

Nyssa, thank you for the photo of the kids, doesn’t matter being after the baptism, they look happy and healthy and it’s great to hear about their spiritual journey as well as their physical journey. Take care and I pray your health is getting better also. Snookums 😊🙏

[@krackerjaxx5575]

Wonderful food! I laughed out loud a couple times! The geese stories were funny.

[@annfromma8456]

I love watching how you twist the sausages. I learned something new!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

It took a bit to figure out, but once I did, it worked quite well!

[@cadwyn8002]

I started eating keto then ketover back in April due to health issues. It has really helped me. It’s amazing

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I will definitely give it a good whack, though lead up to christmas isn't the best of time lol! I will miss the standard treats I normally only eat at Christmas, but maybe I'll just spoil myself with more prawns lol.

Hi Nyssa, You have had a busy week! Your kiddos looked so nice, they have really grown.I loved the story of the geese. Always fun to hear them crossing. TFS!!!❤

[@pattaylor8955]

Always lovely to watch you. The sausage looked great. Loved the twists!

[@bambam6510]

Hi Nessa , we cook about 99% of our food at home , we buy single ingredients from the store as much as possible. No takeaways or eat outs except for special occasions . I take short cuts by not making everything from scratch so will buy sauces , sausage, canned tomatoes and veggies, we buy pasta . I do all the cooking and honestly don’t want to spend all my life cooking 😃

[@debbiebousquet5677]

Teach an let the kids cook an yes them cleaning after is important too❤😂🎉

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I definitely try to take shortcuts where I can, I am limited somewhat because of the length of time things have to last, and I do hate having lots of rubbish to dispose of as well! but we all do what we need to do heh :D

Hi Nyssa I really enjoyed this video I love how interesting your videos are take care 🥰🌹

[@robynclarke5274]

Sausages look perfect. I loved watching our butcher twist and plait the sausages when I was a kid, so your sausage making brought back old memories.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Once I got the rhythm down pat it worked quite well, it took a while to figure out that rhythm though lol

[@sherriekemper1828]

It's always so good to see you. I'm fascinated by the sausage twisting. I've made sausages but they are just in long strings like on a cartoon. They eat but certainly don't have the lovely look of yours. Thanks for finding time to get this out with so much going on.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

It was easier than I expected it to be, there was a definite learning curve, but once I got the rhythm down pat it just worked!

[@cathybier506]

Love all the noise! Its real life!! Everything looks delicious!

[@wannie9731]

Thank you, as usual loved it, plus got a few ideas to use for me. I now put my plastic bags into a bigger one in the freezer for later use

[@OurSmallFootprint]

It works really well, I always had issues if I tried to wash them and keep them clean, they'd go mouldy or smelly no matter what I did, keeping them in the freezer works!

Please keep in mind if you have a dislike it could be something like this!! I totally think you're amazing. ❤❤❤❤ Please keep in mind I'm old 😂!!

[@kristiemac9778]

Thank you for sharing Nyssa. I’m excited to see your take on keto style foods. I’m wanting to do that too. Have you heard of primal alternative? There’s paleo breads you can order or buy the mix and make it yourself or even sell it. They are a very tasty bread substitute. Looking forward to your next one ❤

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I actually looked at doing primal alternative as a business at one point, but obviously, not in my current kitchen lol. I would have to have like a food truck or something that could be a registered kitchen!

[@kristiemac9778]

@@OurSmallFootprint I thought you might be great at that as your baking skills are excellent. Maybe something for down the road. Could renovate the van you have and use that. Ideally love to see how you make a paleo style bread one day. I’ve tried sweet potato bread that was yummy. Or I’ve been using slices of sweet potato grilled under an egg with avocado. So good.

Hey Nyssa, brightens my day when I open youtube to find a new video from you. Love watching your videos . ROMA 4455 QLD 😊

[@cinapoowee7582]

Nyssa, I've been meaning to ask....what type of sausage do you make? Andouille, kielbasa, breakfast, sweet Italian, hot sausage, bratwurst?

[@OurSmallFootprint]

It's close to a sweet italian, but I use cowboy candy in it, but that would be the closest kind of mix of spices, I do just throw everything in and sometimes I use really different flavours, but my fallback is basically a sweet italian style :D

[@farmbabylife9618]

Thanks for the video nyssa. Just wondering what you’ll be doing with your spare land ? Keep it as bush and not really use it? Or do you have plans for it? Xx 😊

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Eventually D and I would like to build a yurt or cabin further into the land separate from teh current structure, the kids can continue to use the current structure etc. If the kids decide they want to stay they may choose to build on other parts of it as well, but mostly, no plans, just padding for where we live hehe :D

[@annahoover5296]

Hi Nessa

[@Desertthorn11]

Your mince part reminded me, I also watch Glen and Friends, this Canadian chef who has a Old Cookbook Show on Sundays that's fun. But recently he was turned on to Cowboy Candy and mention Cowboy Candy and I think of u. Anyway he made a meat loaf and I've never seen you make meatloaf. Do you ever? I love leftover meatloaf sandwiches.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I have a few recipes written down for the new way of eating, but no, not often, I think because its a long cook, I normally make rissoles or meatballs just because I can cook em faster! But I'll definitely look at making some over the next two months because we'll be relying on mince a lot I feel and want to change it up, and nothing beats a bacon wrapped meatloaf!

[@Mel-vu9ss]

@@OurSmallFootprintinstead of doing a meatloaf in a loaf pan press it down in a flat casserole type pan. Cooks much faster.

Your family is beautiful.Such an enviable lifestyle of freedom. How do you support yourselves? Are you recieving Centrelink pensions? I liv off grid.Many of the young blokes living up here are all on Centrelink and ask for welfare handouts.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I answered your other comment, which was much less flattering prior to this one, but yes, we do access a small amount of family tax benefits from Centrelink as well as hustle a lot of side jobs and are frugal with our money with very minimal debt to be able to choose this lifestyle :)

Why didn’t you attend your kids baptism? That’s so sad. My kids got baptised last year as older teenagers and it was so special for them , we invited family and friends to come celebrate the day with them 😊

[@frugalitystartsathome4889]

Why is it “sad”? She has previously explained that she a) doesn’t attend church and b) doesn’t leave the homestead save for grocery runs and medical appointments. Not everyone is religious and not everyone needs to be in their kids’ pockets for every single experience - they are allowed to be without mum on occasion, after all.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

If they choose to pursue further religious things and are more educated about their choices and have decided that is the path they want to take, I will attend and support them if that is what they want. But for me, a baptism means nothing, I am not religious, and they are young enough that they don't really understand what they are doing either, and that's fine, they wanted to do it and I will support their choices, but they didn't care whether I was there or not :). I don't attend church at all and I don't know all these people that they and Darryl know.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I almost cut out that I didn't go lol, knowing someone would have an issue with it.

[@bambam6510]

@@frugalitystartsathome4889 I don’t think you need to be so angry . I watch her videos regularly and understand her stand point about leaving the home stead . I was only asking because this was a special occasion for the kids and they are still little , so I done understand your point about being in their pockets .
