I didn't grow up eating butternut squash, and my husband had it once a year in a dessert-like side dish at Thanksgiving. So, I will definitely be trying to use it more now that I have these great recipes. We will also add it to our crops for next year too! We have grown spaghetti squash successfully, so hopefully we can have the same luck with the butternut variety! I'm curious if you ever roast the seeds? We eat pumpkin seeds every day!

[@Iamhome365]

Hello from Ireland. I've always cooked pretty much everything from scratch, thats how i was raised but I'm moving towards organic now wherever i can. My garden was a big flop this year due to back problems, unfortunately only have a few bits. We have a local farm shop but honestly wouldn't buy anything from it as the amount of fertilisers they use is scandalous - a farmer let out his land to them and he quit eating everything they grew as he saw exactly what they were putting continuously on the crops! A saying here is "they were blown out of the ground." Maybe different from where you are, but i would have loved to have bought from them. Next year i hope to be able to grow as much vegetables as i can to keep us going even for 5 or 6 months 😊 would love to know how to can, the jars alone here are incredibly expensive and the canner can't be bought here either so would have to import but I'd constantly be worrying that i didn't do something right and end up killing 1 of my family! I'd love even a root cellar! will look forward to watching other videos 😊

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks for sharing your experience! Sorry it wasn't a good year for your garden and hope your back is doing better! Hopefully next year will go much smoother!

Canning is not really that hard. There are several videos and instructions and I'm sure you can follow them. Just be mindful of cleanliness in the preparation of the foods and your equipment, ie jars, lids etc. It doesn't take long before you'll be feeling quite accomplished. Good luck. 😊

This is so peaceful. I will offer a tip that I wish I had known years ago. For most things, you can purée the skin along with the flesh. I use most of my squash in cakes. The bits of skin aren’t a big deal and add some nutrition. Also, removing the skin was always my least favorite chore.

I'm allergic to tomatoes so I use butternut squash as a replacement in many dishes. I use the puree to thicken meat sauce for lasagne, to make bbq sauce that is amazing on pizza with chicken/pancetta/sliced roasted squash, pumpkin pasta sauce (just sauteed leek and garlic and roasted squash, bit of cream), put the puree in bechamel for lasagne or a pizza sauce, puree stirred through risotto, in bread and bagels, and of course... pumpkin choc chip cookies. There is honestly nothing butternut squash puree can't make and I swear it has crack in it, because every squash product I make, people devour.

I was reading into what my Norwegian ancestors ate before they immigrated to ND (they had a lot of food insecurity) they could only grow oats, barley, wheat wouldn’t ripen, and they made a spot where they could grow some potatoes. They needed their livestock to survive and fed them well before themselves (and housed them before themselves), so I’m assuming they consumed a lot of butter, fresh milk, etc. they were never overweight, obviously either food insecurity. I need to move my family more away from processed but I don’t buy fake butter, low fat milk or yogurt, etc.

I love the sound of the kids in the background. Makes it so sweet. I was curious, does boiling the chicken take some of the flavor out of it when you go to broil and then eat it?

[@delilahmertoglu]

I know the question wasn't really addressed to me but I also boil my whole chicken before putting it in the oven and I feel it cooks up much juicier, tender, and delicious that way. You can get a really nice, crispy chicken exterior that way without sacrificing moisture. I keep the broth to add to rice, soups, or stews later on. However, I usually make a paste to slather on the chicken prior to going into the oven. I think it would definitely lose its seasoning if seasoned, then boiled, then baked. I boil, then season, then bake.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

It's always still been very flavorful and moist. Adding additional spices for broiling helps, too! Thanks for watching!

Before getting Thimble (our milk cow) we bought 1 gallon a week of raw milk because that's all we could afford.

[@christinebrush4399]

Since I first saw you slow cook a whole chicken with water ( 2/3) By doing that, I don't have to wait for the bones and start the long process of simmering them to make stock!, As you say, the 'stock' is ready done. I wish I had thought of it years ago. BTW, have you ever done the chicken from frozen please? Greetings from North Bay Ontario.

The historian in me is twitching at the opening "food we've always eaten" watching European descendants cooking meso-american produce, the engineer in me is delighted seeing the use of at-home pasteurization with the grape juice, the interior designer in me is drooling at the kitchen and stove seetup, and the sub-par chef in me that wishes to get better is just deeply impressed with the size and quality of the dishes. Thank you for the video! For anyone interested, the rule of thumb when figuring out where food comes from goes (this gets long, feel free to ignore): - Domesticed animals = Eurasia (horses, cows, goats, chickens, etc. - note: this is also the leading theory on European recurring plagues [i.e. black plague, small pox, etc.] and subsequent resistance [those that didn't have any died], compared to the Meso-American susceptibility [~98% dead (yes, seriously, 49 out of 50 individuals is the estimate, with a dense population thought to originally be on par to Europe in the tens of millions - imagine covid, but everyone who died instead lived, and everyone who lived instead died, and everyone caught it at least once, it was that bad)]) - Bland grains = Eurasia (Europe/Middle East/Fertile Cresent = wheat/rye, Asia = rice) - Spices = Asia Proper (India, China, Indonesia, etc. - I'll throw Tea in there too as, while it's Chinese specifically, it's essentially just a spice for hot water) - Nutritious Tasty Produce = Meso America (tomato, pumpkin, corn, squash, peppers, bean, coffee, chocolate, etc. If there's a non-sugary, non-grain, produce you don't hate, it's probably from the America's unless it's onions) - Fruits and Berries = Grab-bag (fruits = anywhere tropical, berries anywhere in more northern temperate regions, but you can find varied examples across all continents. A curious, but historically impactful, example is grapes, which experts are still undecided on if they originally came from the Middle East, Meso-America, or both around the same time) Other places occasionally originated things in other groups (ex. Saffron, a spice from the Iris flower family, is thought to be from Greece [and was Marco Polo's, the Venetian explorer, biggest cash crop]) but for the majority of products, the above rule of thumb is valid most of the time. Note, however, that it was extremely common for groups originating in one region to move to another and do as well, or better, than it's place of origin, with several regions becoming famous for things they didn't originally produce, to the point that culturally, most people tend to think they came from that region. Examples include: Italians and tomatoes (think: pizza), the Irish and potatoes (Irish Potato Crisis), Indians and tea (deeply interesting subject, which intersects with English colonialism, Chinese monopolies and isolationism, the foundation of Hong Kong, and, oddly enough, the Monarchy-sanctioned, illegally propagated, Opium trade), Ethiopian and Indonesian coffee, Texan horse ranches, etc. ect.

But all that aside, what is that thing you are cooking on? You never seem to turn any swithers or light a flame and theirs all these doors? What is it, did someone make it for you? Thank you I have subscribed and turned on notifications.

Hi! Our oven is called an AGA. We have a few other videos that talk about it specifically but it runs on gas and it's always on so you are right that there's no lighting or knobs. We found ours on fb marketplace. They aren't very common in the US but made in the UK and more popular there. It's been a dream come true for me - I love it! Thanks for being here! All the best on your health journey!

@FromScratchFarmstead wow that s so cool so it's also doubles has a heater for the home well maybe at least a few rooms. And no pre heating our fairly new oven at times takes 30 minutes to reach 450.

Очень интересный выпуск.

There looks like there is something else in the soup that you did not include in the recipe. ( Parsley, thyme, something ) Could you please tell me what it is. Thanks. Love your channel.

Nous en Europe en général, nous ne mangeons quasiment rien de transformer !!! C'est très mauvais pour la santé, et depuis tjs....par contre un boullions de poule on met 1ou 2 oignons, des carottes, un poireau, céleri, thym,laurier,ail, sel poivre etc pour les légumes mettez les vers la fin de cuisson...ça vous fera un excellent bouillon de poulet avec légumes....😊

Love it! 🙌☺️

Great video! Wondering how you source greens in the winter. Do you grow your own microgreens?

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks! We dehydrate greens during the growing season to use all winter.

[@kenyonbissett3512]

@ Thank! I noticed the jar full of what looked like dehydrated greens but wasn’t sure.

In answering “why you homestead?” You mentioned infertility. Could you explain more or how successful you became for getting pregnant? I’m trying to help a young couple who want kids. It’s a toxic world out there! ❤ Still loving my shampoo bars from your channel! Blessings to you all! 💗

A few things that really helped me besides eating nutrient dense, real food is incorporating liver everyday (I actually have a video on this kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6DZlJeBn96Ka6s). And just being mindful of not overdoing it with stress/exercise. Thanks for watching and glad you are loving the shampoo bars!

So we are getting our Aga soon, and I'm starting to squirrel away what I'm thinking, are the necessary cookware. So I'm looking at Dutch ovens, and I love your well used large oval dutch oven. Can you tell me what kind it is and how many quarts it holds?

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

That's so exciting! It's a 9.5 Quart Le Creuset (I found it on fb marketplace).

[@suzysteel]

@FromScratchFarmstead wow, I was just at the le crueset outlet near me, and they don't have that size. They have a huge 15.5 quart, but it's 13 inches wide, or deep, idk how they measure these things, and I don't think it will fit in the oven, and it weighs a ton!. I will have to keep my eyes peeled on FB market place. Thanks so much for responding. I really appreciate it and all the videos and advice.

[@StaceyArbes]

This may sound like a dumb question, but how do you eat liver everyday? Is it already prepared? I've never actually had liver, but I do eat plenty of fermented foods and wouldn't mind adding liver to my daily routine.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Not dumb at all! I make a big batch of liver pate and freeze it in muffin cups. Then I add a spoonful of the pate in with my eggs and veggies for breakfast each morning with a spoonful of sauerkraut on top!
