A Crazy New Project | Delicious Simple Meal, Chocolate Bread, Hot Chocolate

Hey there, today we're starting on a huge new project we're hoping to finish by the time the snow falls in a few weeks. I'm also making some delicious chocolate, hazelnut spread bread and hot chocolate to snack on. And, because we have such a busy day, I chose a super simple supper to make. I hope you enjoy coming along with us today.

[@iartistdotme]

I can't wait to see the rink done and you skating! When I was little I always dreamed of growing up to be Peggy Fleming but, of course, down here in Florida that would be roller skating instead. I moved from Wisconsin when in my teens. My grandaughter just came home from a golf match and she and my SIL both saw a mama bear and her baby on the side of the road. We aren't all tourists down here but I would certainly have liked to see it. I forget how agricultural and wild it is until we get a glimpse of nature like that. In fact the second source of income in Florida after tourism - is agriculture. When we first moved up here to 10 acres near the Suwannee River, we saw a panther waiting for his supper along an animal path in the woods. He sitting on one side of the dirt road we were on. Once he saw us it was just one leap and he cleared the whole road with that long tail flying behind. I loved seeing that. Just didn't want to come across him while riding our horses or working in the garden. Yikes! That was fifty years ago and they no longer roam this area but the bears do! So cool. Do you all have wild predators like that on your place? Wolves, coyotes and such? We have alligators and anacondas, too. Hope you don't have them!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

We do have bears, cougars, wolves and coyotes, but the dogs keep them back.

[@catracampolieto8989]

I'll be making your hazelnut bread for sure. I'm going to make cinnamon raisin bread like that too. I've never had poutine before. Looks delicious. Grandchildren are great. I have 5 so far. Hope you have an awesome day. Thank you for sharing your day.

[@debbiemusgrove676]

I don’t know why but I never knew you could pick up pumpkins and bring them in to ripen. What a game changer.

[@barbarabrand190]

To make the best gravy, take equal parts of hot melted fat, (lard, tallow, butter, or duck fat), and stir in you measure of flour, (arrowroot, almond flour, or cornstarch) and mix well continuously over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly incorporate your broth and cook until thick. Salt and pepper to taste. Best of luck!

[@MRSMakeupBag]

if you make a roux instead of a slurry your gravy will improve significantly. Cooking the flour is key

[@maliaw8392]

Greetings from Iowa! I have made them same sweet bread dough and added hazelnut spread and peanut butter swirled together to make peanut butter cup dessert bread. It is amazing! Not ideal to try in your toaster, unless you are trying to find a reason to buy a new toaster. It does, however make amazing French toast or bread pudding. As for you scrumptious homemade cocoa, a few sprinkles of instant coffee in the cup for mom and dad is coffee shop worthy!☕️

@@LittleMountainRanch Mind-like can be life-like. I cook using whole foods and follow the seasons for the bounty they drop on my recipe card. I focus on nutrition and limiting the waste of what I can humbly grow in town or buy from local farmers to support their efforts and family. My food dehydrator is my test lab. Can I dry it? Can I make it into a powder concentrate or seasoning? An ingredient doesn’t have to be a one note song. With creativity you can make your remnants and leftovers into a sonata. I appreciate wholeheartedly you and your humble and joyful family working as a team, encouraging, challenging, supporting and learning from each other. You are lovingly bringing your pastures and buildings back to a life they have not lived in many seasons. It will be an amazing journey to watch unfold for all of your clan!🏠

Looks like a delicious meal and one of my dads favourite s although we would have the ground beef made with a ton of chopped onions, bite for bite you’d end up with more onions then ground beef but they were well cooked and sautéed with the beef so they took on that flavour and it’s a great money saving way to feed a large family with a small amount of ground beef as they used to say it “stretches” the meal. Plus it would be served over a large mound of mashed potatoes and either peas, carrots or corn because it was pretty much a comfort food type winter meal and we wouldn’t have the availability of fresh lettuce or as Dad calls it “rabbit food” in the winter. If we did get lettuce in the winter from the grocery it would be a small head of lettuce that was so ridiculously small and it would be used by peeling off pieces for sandwiches the entire head was so small it wouldn’t make a salad anyway. Lol! Although our winter supply has improved in terms of large trucks bringing us fresher veggies from Florida or California I’ve begun growing our own lettuce on our sunny windowsill inside our place using a mason jar and a hydroponic style technique and you know it seriously works and I can grow a lot of lettuce and tat soi this way! Love your channel!! Thanks for the reminder about “hamburger stew”(that’s what we called it)makes my mouth water just thinking about it!! 🥰🇨🇦❤️

[@sherry2836]

I will definitely make that bread! I grew up in Michigan and skating was always the winter play. However, my ankles failed me every time but fun being with all the kids. For Celcius conversion, I just double the Celcius then add 30. It's only approximate but close enough so folks get the idea. (over 20C change to add 25).

I had to pick a pumpkin green. It even had a dusting of frost on top. But it doesn't appear to be hurt and is slowly ripening! A skating rink is an excellent idea for your place! Salt (Sodium Chloride that is) doesn't really have a flavor. It excites the taste buds which brings out the flavor. Too much salt over stimulates said taste buds.

I used to have a heard time with gravy too. For every tablespoon of flour you add butter and make a roux, let it cook for a bit to get flour taste out and then add your liquid. I usually add a little kitchen bouquet to it to add what color you want light or dark gravy. Always works! Saw it on "the pioneer woman show" looks like a yummy dinner. Nancy from nebraska
