[@carolynturnerclark9287]

Your tortillas look like mine, sometimes they look like TX, PA, UT, whatever they still tase good.

[@carmarasmussen8118]

Haha, I'm in Utah. That would be a funny looking tortilla! 😄

[@Hannah_MK]

So true!! 😂😂 Mine are never round either. Great way to explain it!

[@gardencoopgal1534]

I noticed the espresso machine on your counter- you should do a video on that :-)

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Noted!

[@karenhummel49]

Yes.

[@chelseemr]

Completely agree! It’s such an investment and I know you’ve said in the past you are frugal (as am I). I imagine it’s amazing if you felt it was worth the purchase. I would definitely be interested in your thoughts or even a how to on this machine!

[@jsks9888]

Listen, I will totally buy your cookbook when you release one. EVERYTHING you make always looks SO delicious!!

[@plantmom93]

When I read the title for some reason all I saw was “family” and “7” and I was like WHEN DID SHE HAVE ANOTHER BABY?!? 😂😂

[@SimonSaysLetsMakeADeal]

I watched this in the morning and you made me so hungry. I couldn't wait to fix dinner and try out your recipes. Thanks! Cast iron is always the best.

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

I need a garlic press👏🏻 Everything looked so good, Lisa🤍My mom didn’t let me use a peeler for potatoes until I learned to peel with a knife first 😂 when I seen you peeling the potatoes, it reminded me of that:) 🤍

[@shabnamsultana1920]

U know it’s going to taste good when u see the butter go into the cast iron skillet ❤️👍🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸🇵🇰

[@yta8892]

No way, she actually knows how to make chappatis / rotis lol. That’s Amazing 🤩

[@yta8892]

They turn out better, when cooked on the gas fire, where the pot was on. You put it on there and when they puff up, you flip it. They dough must be a bit thick though.

[@spinnyjb1]

Johanna is a wiz in the kitchen. 🙂 I’m still just living my life by her chocolate chip theory. Use your heart 🍪♥️

[@nobodynothing2594]

What’s her chocolate chip theory?

[@gigigigi9479]

Thank you for the inspiration; made my first sour dough loaf today. I was giving up on my starter and then it just took off.

[@cassandrasmom]

I love roasted garlic in everything!! Yum!

[@suburbanhomesteadliving9212]

I love watching these videos. I grew up like this and love feeding my kids hardy meals. Recently one of my kiddos was diagnosed with T1D so making all these meals in a low-carb way has been my challenge lately! But totally doable. God bless you! Oh and.... get yourself a potato masher! Lol!

[@philippapay4352]

Some great dinner ideas. I'm always fearful things like Thrive will cost more. But I may try it.

[@dawnhouck6897]

Definitely going to do the chicken noodle mushroom recipe looks delicious!

[@tammyduff14]

Homemade biscuits are the best! In Vermont we use ground beef and call it shepherds pie! Have a great weekend!

[@CRG_]

I can relate on buying things when I’m close to being out then just having too much. Especially flour. I don’t like to keep a ton on hand, maybe 10lbs? But then when I’m down too much I buy more and then it doesn’t fit in the container. Spices too

[@karenbuckner8696]

Do you ever get tired of cooking? I came from a big family and sometimes I got tired of it. Not so much now that I live alone, no one to cook for. You make it look so easy.

[@barbfreihammer2233]

You're making me so hungry!! You've given me a lot of great meal ideas!

[@cookiecuttercottage3088]

I used your Thrive link a few weeks ago and I'm obsessed! My husband is low Fodmap and they actually have a selection that is low Fodmap friendly. I love everything they have! Thank you!

[@julialucas6626]

I love watching your cooking videos Lisa. The food always looks comforting, healthy and delicious. Thank you 💖

[@nicosonn9819]

Thank you for your delicious food videos. Do you have a new pot. (the black one) Where can I get such a cooking pot. What is the material. I live in Germany. God bless you

[@deborahcrutchfield5022]

Hi, I was going to leave my comment in your video from 3 yrs ago sewing Tutorial , I did not think you would see it. I started sewing again. I have made many different throw pillows, duvet covers with button closing. I seen one of your videos were you sewed ties on the pillow cases and just loved it. Looked it up and it’s very vintage. I like your sewing on the children’s clothes too. Blessings

[@kathyprice3248]

How much butter do you have on hand?

[@gina2464]

I so impressed with your tortillas! Your food looks so good I can almost smell it🥰♥️❤️

[@kiarasometimes92]

Oh I'm so happy you tried my roasted garlic trick!!!! Happy you like it 🤗 keep up the great content!

[@Rollergirl601]

Everything looks delicious! I love that you cook wholesome healthy food for your family with lots of protein. I think I need to make that chicken with mushroom cream sauce. Yum!

[@LifesLittleThingz]

Everything looked scrumptious! I love how easy you make it look but I know each meal is a lot of work, which I know your family greatly appreciates!

[@aliciasu1269]

Great meal ideas! Thank you so much for sharing! I also see you have a Breville espresso maker-I just bought one myself. I hope you are enjoying the coffee as much as I am!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Yes I’m LOVING it

[@angelahagood7143]

Another wonderful video! Love that “new?” Dutch oven! Doesn’t it just make your food so delish? Your cooking videos make my mouth water! I love how creative and bold you are in the kitchen. May I ask the variety of carrot you were slicing? I love growing rainbow carrots but have never seen the ones with yellow on the inside! I too would love to see an episode featuring your espresso machine. It’s been a looonnnggg time since my barista days. P.S. I’m loving the podcasts! Did you know that you and your guests helped me paint two rooms and a hallway? 👏🏻🌟💕

[@irenatheginger2491]

Sheppards pie in New England, more so where I grew up in Maine, is literally cooked ground beef, corn and mashed potatoes, along with a veggie on the side. My great aunt who came off the boat fron Ireland, made hers with lamb, more veggies and in a gravy, topped with potatoes.

[@aleshiasterland460]

Oh Lisa so wonderful and tasty looking. You inspire me so much. What a treat for me to watch your videos and learn from you!

[@benbessisbakhta4663]

I am in love with your channel. I wish you would share your after cooking cleaning routine.

[@Pandorash8]

Here in Australia it’s shepherds pie when using lamb mince and cottage pie when it’s beef. If you use venison I’m not sure what it’s called... we can’t call it Hunter pie as that’s taken... maybe forest pie? If I were to use kangaroo, I’d have to call it skippy pie 🤣 I don’t typically cook ground roo though. It has a metallic taste when over cooked so it’s best as a steak/fillet and cooked lightly... anyway, I digress lol. Great video as always 👏🏻

[@jenpitre9444]

I don't eat meat so I make a farmer's pie!

[@TwoFoxOneCat]

Shepherds pie is lamb, cottage pie is beef, that’s it.

[@joannleboeuf1739]

Oh my goodness BACON JAM I can hardly stop my mouth from watering. 🥰

[@dawnhash6068]

Oh the Shepard’s pie!!

[@honeycrestfarmlife8531]

Love your videos! Our cooking style is very similar, homemade, from scratch - except with lots of Indian food in the mix :-)

[@aliciadavidson5005]

I do have a question. I made sourdough starter out of organic regular all purpose flour. Is it ok to use it with einkorn recipes or should I make a whole nother batch of starter using einkorn to use in those recipes??

[@lindakocher6968]

I always enjoy watching your cooking videos. I feel inspired to make more things from scratch!

[@faithhopelove001]

I'm making those quesadillas tonight!! Thanks for sharing the video! These ones are my favorite. I always leave inspired 🥰🥰

[@anitabarker3125]

Enjoyed this video. Why do you prefer to use cast iron cooking ware to other pots and pans. I love my instant pot and use it all the time.

[@susanramos6473]

Everything looks so delicious!!!! Thanks for sharing the food inspiration!!!

[@alexism1127]

Hi Lisa, question about the chicken tacos. I’m curious why you brown the chicken first and then slice? Is it a different texture? Or just a personal preference?

[@redsmom6]

If I tried to cook like this I’d be in the kitchen for days!!😂 But you make it look so effortless and beautiful!❤️

[@PollyPlaysYT]

My hubby is such a pig. I saw your first meal, and thought, well thats enough to feed me and him, for one meal, and he'll want snacks after, and dinner later... He eats half a skillet of food, and says he's still hungry... men... lol. I have to cook like I'm cooking for an army to have enough to feed him, and have leftovers. Chicken tacos are a snack for my man. Oh how I wish I could serve soup for dinner, he always complains that soup is never filling. Everything looks delicious tho, and I'll definitely have to try that roasted garlic trick! Oh, and for the potroast did you brown it first, then cook it? How long did you brown in on saute before cooking if so?

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I'd kill for a thrive market'esque type thing here in Australia!

[@irinagerner389]

What do you mean by deglazing with a bit of broth? Do you discard the broth or you fry the mushrooms in the broth? I have to know it! I bump into this problem every time I fry something and need to keep using the pan but it's not clean anymore.

[@JeaniePop]

In Quebec if someone says shepherds pie they are usually refering to pâte Chinois which is with ground beef, creamed corn, and mashed potatoes on top.

[@buildingbeastynz5896]

ooh that sounds good

[@jillyd2807]

Cottage pie is made with beef. Shepherds pie with lamb ✅😊

[@johnny5laura780]

Have you ever tried Misfits Market for organic produce? It's kinda cool!

[@amandaklemstine9704]

Always love these videos!! Thank you for sharing!

[@RiverPlaid]

Your meals look so yummy.🍄

[@mariacristinarandall8750]

Thank you for the wonderful meals ideas!!

[@SusanLidiaE]

Great meal ideas. I use Thrive Market too. What is name or link of that wisk that you used to stir the rue/gravy in at minute 6:05 ?

[@ginamaria2579]

Everything looks amazing 🤗💕

[@donna8212]

Great job as always Lisa! 👍🏻😉

[@jaymicronkright2672]

I never knew Shepard's pie could be made with lamb! How interesting! Thank you for making these videos!

[@nickyjones88]

In the UK if you see shepherd's pie it will always be lamb, cottage pie will always be beef. I've never known it be a catch all term for any meat

[@sarahgalvan3861]

Who taught you to cook? You are fearless in the kitchen. Thanks for the ideas!!!

[@MorganJ]

I wish that Thrive Market had an option for corn-free.

[@arizonamom8773]

You can make your own taco seasoning. Much better than buying.

[@nicnykaza14]

I'd love to see more plant based meals : )

[@sw9868]

Wrong channel if you're looking for plant-based diet. That's not how they eat. They follow the traditional foods way of eating. (See Weston A. Price Foundation)

[@ohio_nights]

@@sw9868 She has shown plant based meals before, along with explaining how to modify meals she makes. She’s obviously a very good cook, I bet she could make some seriously amazing dairy-free and/or meat-free dishes.

[@sw9868]

@@ohio_nights Oh, yes! I'm sure she could! She's amazing! I noticed a few peeps making comments about plant-based meals, and I was just saying that's not her family's main way of eating. They are meat heavy! 😂There are PLENTY of plant-based channels out there for those who are looking for that. 😉

[@erikalouwrens3992]

Loved this! Thank you!

[@clong9667]

Wonderful ideas 💞 any recommendations for low cost cast iron starter set?

[@maryzylo7695]

How is Thrive about packing cans?

[@christinaboschmann1678]

Don’t think anyone has asked: would love a link to your cast iron pot - that you boiled the noodles in 🥰🙏🏽

[@HarvestandGather]

love all your dinner ideas :)

[@barbarapeterson8030]

SHARED TO THE BURGH! YUM

[@Love_Life_Kora]

@farmhouseonboone do you have the roast beef recipe!?

[@TNT_dynamight]

this was my favorite meal video ever 😍

[@unciaciapanca]

I see in all of your recipes you use a loooot of butter. Aren t you concernd ?

[@Anastasia.Spy.]

Hello Lisa. Everything looks so yummy! I was wondering how difficult it is to take care of cast iron pots/pans? I have always wanted to purchase a pan. I really enjoy your videos 😊🇨🇦

[@thesewinggarden7311]

@AnastasiaSpyridopoulos Lisa has videos on taking care of cast iron pans. You can find them by searching for the topic here on her KZbin channel or on her blog!

[@Anastasia.Spy.]

@@thesewinggarden7311 Thanks! I recently found this channel. I am so happy I did! 😊

[@thesewinggarden7311]

@AnastasiaSpyridopoulos You’re welcome! So glad you found it....you’re going to love it!

Looks so good.The meals work for me! TFS

[@tanyaldowell1950]

I enjoyed meals look so yummy

[@GabrielaTerese]

LOVE watching your cooking videos. SO inspirational. But how do you manage to cook so much with kids around!?? Tips? This is the struggle I have! (4, 2, and another on the way!) Also, thanks to you I finally bought a Berkey! ;)

[@kaylajoshalford944]

I can’t remember what video it was in, but I made that Sauerkraut Soup tonight and it was delicious! I thought you were sauerkraut crazy when I saw that recipe but I was like.....what the heck! I have the ingredients! Turn out very hearty and flavorful. Husband approved :)

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Not only have I gained some inspiration, I’m pretty sure I’ll also gain some weight!!😊

[@TheFashionBookbyKayleeAdams]

Would be really fun if you showed some clips of your family actually eating the meal 😊 I have been using my cast iron pan recently and really liking it, I ordered 2 more that are coming today! 🤗

[@אפרתאנלין]

🙏❤ you definitely inspiring me. I love that way of life. I've already got kefir n got sourdough ready to go. I started to cook with it and it's amazing! Thank you for making it so easy ❤💖❤god bless you. I tried to find out what is einkorn in my country, to translate it.. but... I don't know.. it's not a word in my language... Anyway I love what you doing, keep on and I wish you all only good!!💗

[@lisaremy4817]

All the recipes look delicious!

[@lavonnep.1412]

Good Morning! 🌄 I have soo many videos to catch up on, I didn't realize( like 2 mo ago ones..).😍 binge watch Lisa day.. lol you are such a blessing and inspiration!! Ur talents just amaze me!😘😘

[@carriehunt6196]

Your dinners always look so delicious! I’m curious do the colored carrots have a different flavor at all? I’m so glad you didn’t a bunch of chicken recipes! We eat a lot of chicken at my house and need some new recipes so thank you!! Your videos are ALWAYS the best Lisa!!!!! Have a great weekend! ❤️

[@tonimason8737]

Hi Lisa, greetings from Western Australia. When cooking mashed potatoes, I peel about 3 cloves of garlic to about 6 medium potatoes and boil the garlic in with the potatoes and salt. (I don't chop the garlic, just take the skins off). Cook as normal, drain n leave a little of the cooking water in the pot (this has flavour) add butter and milk. Works every time. Ps atm my hands are sore with arthritis so I'm not even peeling the potatoes just chopping and boiling

[@kimberlyberry3492]

When you use beef, it is called Ranchers pie. All of the recipes look delicious

[@lauren8627]

Oh that is so cute. If I make it from anything it is still 'Shepherd's Pie' (Australia). But I realise that is so silly 😂. It will definitely be ranchers pie when I use beef from now on! I could do a kangaroo pie and call it bouncy pie, although that may be too far!

[@harley8680]

Shepherd's Pie with meat in Michigan

[@elizabethanneboling8520]

How many acres is your farm?

[@ginacervi]

I haven’t had Chicken and Dumpling soup for 40 years. Looks so easy I’m making it tonight.

[@diannerempel8262]

Delicious looking meals! When/where did you buy your cast iron dutch oven? I would love one of those. I love my cast iron pans and I also have a cast iron loaf pan.

[@felishiarae332]

I'm trying to do the same with the things in my pantry/deep freeze, I've noticed that I was doing the same thing. Thanks again for another great meal video, they're becoming a favorite of mine. My boys like to watch with me and will say, "Mom, you should make that" haha. Love it all! Would love to know some of your favorite food and meal resources- blogs, Insta accounts, cookbooks? What are some of your favorite resources?

[@EK-sz5no]

you are just amazing. is there anything you can't do ....:)

[@sharonseach5381]

Hi Lisa. I watch your videos from Durban which is on the East coast of South Africa. I enjoy them entirely.

[@elizabethwinderweedle1704]

You have definitely got me hooked on cast iron cooking! So much better! And I find the more I use them, the easier things clean off of them. I love your videos ! And your podcast!

[@gracens1380]

Do not remember the last time I made a mushroom cream sauce for pasta, yum! Take care! And Happy Spring🐦🐦

[@normalopezingle7732]

Yummy yummy yummy!!! Everything looks awesome.

[@laurielyon1892]

Some very good ideas. I really need to make chicken tacos. My son is burned out on the regular taco made with ground beef. I have some chicken in the freezer I can use. I think I will put that on the menu for next week. I think I will be making roast for Sunday dinner. I wish I had more time to make more fresh things. I don't buy many processed foods, but I want to make homemade bread and your homemade tortillas I'm sure I would like so much better than the store bought ones. They really look easy too!

[@marieradatsz4126]

Love these vlogs as always xx

[@AndreaBiethman]

Love thrive! Also, I had no idea you could boil in the big dutch ovens. Not sure why I haven't! Thanks for the video!

[@123Snatch]

Hi Lisa! Can you tell me which meat grinder you own? My husband and I have been trying to decide which one to buy. Thank you.

[@aylincabrera7725]

I roast my garlic in a pan. I add peeled garlic (from Costco) to a pan and cover with olive oil. Cook it very low for a few hours until the garlic is a little golden and then drain it (reserve garlic infused oil for cooking) then mash the garlic and keep it in the fridge to use in all kind of recipes. Delicious!

[@helenabaier7823]
