Thank you for the meal ideas.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

You are very welcome! Hope you enjoy!

[@brittly2292]

I have really been enjoying your videos. They're so calming and have such good looking meals. The verses at the end of your videos are such a nice touch and close them out with our thoughts fixed on God. Thank you!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Aw thank you! I so appreciate that! Glad you are enjoying it all, blessings ❤️

[@kellygreen8255]

Another great video. Hope you are feeling better. Love. Barb

[@OldeThymeKnits]

As always I enjoyed the recipes, in particular that hashbrown cheeseburger casserole. Might have to try that one. Thanks for sharing and inviting us in! 🥰

[@theresaegbuniwe5808]

Great video!!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you! ☺️❤️

[@mollywoodard8769]

Always excited for Fridays for your new video! I watch it while my 2 yo sleeps, then write down the recipes and try them the next week 😊 Havent found anything we dont like yet! Thanks for all you do and for making my meal planning simpler in this crazy life of sahm/homeschool teacher!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Hey Molly! I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying everything! I so appreciate you hanging out with me. Many blessings to you and yours! ❤️

[@LindaS-GH8183]

Love all your videos and recipes! Last Monday/Tuesday it was -20 windchill in Kansas City…between 12” snow the total week of Jan 6…plus .25” of ice first…kids were out of school entire week. Then MLK Monday and off school Tuesday due to windchill…we bus all kids in our suburb. I babysit my grandkids in the morning and we have all been dragging and wanting to stay in bed.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you! Oh my, sounds like you’re in The thick of it too! It was -22 one morning and all I wanted was to stay in bed. I wish life would allow for more rest in the winter. Blessings and stay warm ❤️

[@shervin6711]

I am LOVING ALL these ideas! Oh WOW! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@maryreneejohnson2590]

Love all the easy recipes. Especially the one pot dinners. Also all the sauces, you made from every day ingredients. Love your videos ❤

[@annamccosker7878]

Hey lady! So good to see you. You are always a breath of fresh air🙏🙂 I cannot even imagine how cold it is where you are... I'm in North Florida(lived here my whole life) and we had almost 10 inches of snow! Truly amazing but I'm freezing and just want to keep adding layers and layers of clothing!😂

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Hey friend! Always so happy to see you here ❤️ ugh I’m so cold. I’m in layers and find myself on the couch under multiple blankets more than I’d like lol. I miss warmth! I can’t believe you had so much snow!! That’s crazy. We too just had 10” and a low of -22 🥶 warm weather is coming… eventually 😂

[@libbyhaynes8909]

I made your sausage & potato soup right after your video. It was a HUGE hit especially with my husband who isn't a fan of soups but induldes me occasionally. The big surprise came this week when he asked me to make it again!! Thanks for the yummy recipe from this soup loving gal!!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Oh yay! Im so glad it was enjoyed by all. Thanks for hanging out! Blessings ❤️

[@DH-qz2so]

"Sip and Feast" on youtube has a yummy Italian Sausage and Tortelllini Soup... I have made it many times...

[@glendagonzalez2469]

I love the chicken salad idea, sounds delicious. A tip for the chicken noodles soup, if you cook the noodles in the soup, the starch from the noodles helps thicken the soup a bit.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Do you notice they get mushy though? I’ve never done it that way because I figured they’d get soggy.

[@tanyahenderson2966]

@@seedandsparrowhomestead Just let your soup simmer for however long you want and add the noodles about 15 minutes (give or take depending on what size noodles you’re using) before you eat. I’ve never had the noodles get soggy and it saves a step and a dirty pot. 🙌 Thanks for the soup inspiration today, your recipes looked so yummy!

[@danniemcdonald7675]

Everything looked so good, but those soups got my attention! Thanks for sharing!

[@59kuphoff]

I hope you will take this as a complement. I was having trouble sleeping last night, and the "soft rain on the roof" videos were not working. Then I thought of your videos with the soft music and your gentle voice. I was asleep in 15 minutes! Thank you! Had to come back this morning to finish watching. The recipes look yummy!

[@kathryncurry8728]

Thank you again for sharing what you’re eating! ❤

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

Good morning Kelsey! I’m always happy to see what I’ll be inspired to cook this weekend after watching your videos! It’s not been as cold where we live compared to you but still cold. As I age, I’ve come to understand why folks venture south for the winter lol. Thanks for sharing friend, it’s always a good start to my day to see your video first thing. God Bless You.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Hello sweet Cheryl! Ya know I just said to myself and in another comment, “ I need to move south, the cold makes my bones hurt” 😂 I long for warmth. I’ve been living in layers and under blankets. I’m also very blessed to have a hubby who runs hot and is my personal heater. He’s getting all the snuggles whether he wants them or not haha! Thanks for hanging out with me. Blessings friend ❤️

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

@ you’re talking my language here! My husband is also a personal furnace for me lol. I can be buried under blankets, dressed in layers and he is in shorts and a t-shirt! I struggle with arthritis and it’s a real thing to feel cold down to your bones. I think I could be one of those ‘snowbirds’ who spent time somewhere warm for the winter ☀️

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Lol sounds just like Matt! I too think I want to be a snowbird! ❤️

[@helenswanson1403]

I found some dried split peas in the cupboard. I canned 6 pints of split pea soup today. Left over tasted so good on a cold winter day like today.

[@stephencameron1709]

Wow great meals! Val C

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thanks Val! ❤️❤️

[@JanalynVoigt]

Thanks for the inspiration. It was fun hanging out, virtually speaking, in your kitchen. It's always nice to watch someone else work, and you make it all look so easy. :)

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Aw thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it all!❤️

[@Just-Nikki]

8:46 oh my goodness! That looks like a duck egg! The chicken that decided she now lives here has gotten into a routine at night finally so that’s good. I have put out stuff for her to entertain herself and added her s to her bedding. We just made her a dust bath area. Kyle said she sure knew where to come to get spoiled 😂

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Awww I love that so much! Thanks for the smile. I’ll bet that chicken is so glad it perched in your tree!

[@Just-Nikki]

@ thanks for the advice 😀

[@mikesgracie5068]

Good morning! I just found your channel about a week ago (maybe two weeks, time is a blur through the winter lol) and I have so enjoyed watching you! I am in NE Ohio and we have been buried in snow this year (almost 5' the days after Thanksgiving) and it was negative 10 degrees this week at one point! I don't know why we stay where it is so winter heavy, but Ohio has my heart (and my family) so here we stay frozen in place lol. Thank you for sharing your great recipes and meal ideas! I look forward to following your channel! Stay warm!! 😁

[@elainecoad205]

[@lanamuscott3141]

Such great ideas! Everything looks delicious. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@rachelsearls6452]

That is so funny, I’m doing carnivore with a side of keto too!!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

haha! Love it. I hope its going well for you!

[@mt1885]

hey girl- As always such yummy food! 😋 Great job Kelsey😉 Y'all have a blessed weekend🥰

[@09echols]

Thank you

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank YOU! ❤️

[@TampasCreekHomesteadandMore]

I truly enjoyed watching the video ❤

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

[@DH-qz2so]

I also, have gone to bed, in my clothes...and worn them for most of the next day, doing home chores! Saves on Laundry!

[@beekind1940]

I have some of those Costco ramen noodles hanging around in my pantry and didn't know what to do with them. Thanks for that great idea!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Your dishes are so creative! Thanks for sharing, I know it must be a ton of work!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

I'm so glad you're enjoying them! 😊I'm happy to share!

[@palmascacchi9616]

Everything looks delicious thanks for the inspiration!

[@nanarod91]

Girl no one is judging you on the coffee! It be like that sometimes. I have like 3 cups/morning. Granted, it's probably more like 1.5 cups since I constantly have to dump out cold coffee, but I pour it 3 times!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Lol! I feel ya. I wish I could tolerate it better, I’d totally be drinking more!

[@canadiannavywife434]

🎉Good morning sweet friend. I hope you and yours are doing well. I have many exciting jobs this week. Sewing to canning this week... sorry that we're sharing the Canadian weather... I am lucky number 25 to like this video. I will share and commenting. Thank you for the videos... it helps me, just like a strong cup of tea/coffee.... Hugs from Esquimalt🎉

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Hello my friend from Esquimalt! We are all well, just cold! 🥶 😂 I hope you and yours are well too. I never seem to get used to the cold, even though it comes every year. The cold hurts my bones, I may need to move south 😂 it was -22 one morning 🥶 I’m so glad our chickens made it through! As always, you’re the best, thank you so much for your support! Appreciate you sweet friend. Blessings ❤️

[@debbiefockler9890]

Your presentation of your food is absolutely beautiful. Everything you make looks so good. I am going to have to try many of them. Thank you so much for doing this challenge. I am doing the challenge also even though we are in Florida in our motorhome. I brought a lot of canned and frozen food to try to work through some of my stored food. With the exception of our two travel days, I have been making our meals from the food we brought plus produce that I needed to buy to go with it. Take care.

[@givengrace3162]

Your egg saga gives me hope, lol 😂. Our girls have been on vacation for a few months already, and have just started giving us about 3 a day, which I'm so grateful for! We're in WN Carolina, and it's cold here as well. Stay warm :).

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

That’s was us a month ago. From 14 layers we were getting 1 or 2 a day! Then they got their act together and started producing again lol. They usually taper off when they molt and the weather gets cold and the days short. Stay warm friend!

[@aprilhampton6298]

I love pickled beet eggs. I live in Kentucky and I'm not sure where my family got the idea to do this, but they are fantastic!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Yes! Such a great snack! ❤️

[@staceymckinsey9252]

I grew up in Oregon, as did my stepmom, who always made pickled beet eggs. The tang was always a great addition to the eggs.

[@KokoraLife]

Great inspiration! Thanks!!

[@nicolesobol936]

I just made chicken soup with a couple floppy carrots from my fridge… they were the last of my harvest out of my garden from JULY🤗

[@betterlivingonabudget]

This video inspires me to make some protein baked oatmeal! I made the Fiesta protein rice bake recipe that you featured in your last video - it was so good! I tweaked it a bit to change up the flavor profile, but SO good!! Thank you for sharing that recipe with us. I mentioned your channel in my video, along with the recipe. ❤

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Yummy! So glad it inspired you! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@JacobWiebe-y7j]

I love the food you make, give me more ideas too

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

I'm so glad you enjoy it! Thank you!

[@caracoates4834]

The pickle eggs and beets are bringing up memories. I haven't seen that since I was 11 years old at my grandparents house. Of course as a child I was horrified, but now as an adult living on the west coast I love seeing all the old Pa recipes.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Haha! I used to despise them as a kid, but grown to love them as an adult. Oh the memories! Blessings 😂

[@IdaMaySmith]

I just made your tiramisu recipe from one of your older videos. Oh my! It was so divine! Thanks!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Yay! So glad you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@iartistdotme]

I use big sprinkle of Chinese Five spice every single morning with oatmeal, cinnamon, some butter balls, salt, some chopped fruit, chopped nuts, a heavy sprinkle of turmeric and a sprinkle of pepper, and a bit more brown sugar than what is in the butter balls. (butter and sugar rolled and stored in fridge) It is so delicious and a surprise in this oatmeal which is very good for you, also. Your video was very full of great recipes - thanks.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Oh yum! That sounds delicious, I’ll have to try it out! Thanks friend, appreciate you ❤️

[@jennifergottschalk2467]

I love all of the recipes you have shared I have all written on recipe cards. You also brought back a good memory for me with making red beet eggs my grandmother would make red beet eggs and pickled red beets every year for Easter I would always helping her growing up they are favorite and I still make them for my family.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

I love how food can bring back wonderful memories! Thanks for sharing! I hope you enjoy everything, blessings ❤️☺️

[@Just-Nikki]

The chicken in cowboy candy juice looks wonderful

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

It was way better than I expected it to be! So glad I tried it.

[@Just-Nikki]

I made the oat bars with spiced pear butter and they were delicious so thanks for sharing 😀 I’m going to make cherry ones this week with some cocoa nibs I roasted in my coffee roaster. I have really been enjoying a tea I make with chocolate mint and cocoa nibs and vanilla infused honey.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Sure thing! Oh my gosh, that sounds delicious! I was gonna pick up some almond butter and try it with cherry filling and white chocolate drizzle!

[@Just-Nikki]

@ oh yummy!

[@AVILLAGEGIRLLL]

Awsome ❤😊

[@sd0198]

Hi Kelsey, do you think I could use some pureed beets to make the beet eggs and get the same result? I like saving my pickled beets to eat but had pureed some thinking hummus but this sounds so good! Thanks for always sharing your recipes.

[@CrazyCrafter-le9ge]

Yummy

[@StonerSmurfin]

I grew up in Ohio and when we made the red beet eggs we just used cans of red beets ( mostly the juice) and eggs. Nothing more was added and they were great

[@Najwan-joy]

❤❤❤

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Just-Nikki]

You can make an Asian inspired version of the pickled eggs to use in ramen. You can make hoisin without the peanut butter and marinade the eggs for 24-48 hours. I sometimes add miso as well.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Oh interesting! I’ll have to try that! Thanks!

[@nancyfinney5505]

“I smelled them and didn’t notice any freezer burn”. Yep! My kinda girl!

[@Just-Nikki]

We pickle eggs like that sometimes. They are a thing in West Virginia and South Georgia. I don’t know that I’ve seen them here in Missouri though.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Always so interesting to see how food is different in other regions!

[@larrya3989]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@shervin6711]

Question Beets: how did you keep the color of your beets? I tried pickled beets this year, tried to use frozen and canned (short cut my grandma used store bought canned beets) but they have a pale appearance. Not pretty. Lol! Help?! Anyone?!
