Cooking from scratch for my family of 10

[@WabiSabiStories]

Isn't it funny how before kids, experimenting with new recipes for every meal seemed like such fun? And then you become a parent, and it's all about cooking in big batches, meal prepping, and praying for as many leftovers as possible! 😅 Who else can relate to this (first-time mum here just sharing some notes!)?

[@Omer_of_Manna]

I have 5 and yes this is true. I do still enjoy it but cooking has transitioned from just hobby to daily non-negotiable 🙃

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

I've got a gaggle of kids..and yes😂

[@carmarasmussen8118]

And then they all grow up and leave and you have to try to pare down your recipes for just two people.😢 Remember, the days are long but the years are short. ❤

[@WabiSabiStories]

yes, I think about it sometimes, it makes me so sad, so try to enjoy the present moment as much as I can@@carmarasmussen8118

[@WabiSabiStories]

I guess doubling up the recipes isn't enough to feed them all? @@Omer_of_Manna

[@batbseverino6015]

I am so excited. IMy daughter gave me a great sourdough starter and all the supplies for Christmas. I followed your recipe to the T. It was so easy. I make 2 loves every weekend. I was paying 5.99 a load at Whole Foods each week and now I make my own thanks to you. I’m 72 still work as a nurse. I have 15 grandchildren from my 5 kids. If I can do it anyone can.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

U work 12 hrs a day, 3-4 days a week? Kudos!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Great job! Thanks for sharing!!

[@beatrizsandoval4395]

Which bread do you make exactly? The sandwich or the rustic one?

[@vikkiwelch3829]

I know I will get grief for this , but with a little one walking around the kitchen please push your knife back ,it was hanging of the edge of the counter, and accidents can happen so quickly, that said I think you are amazing and I hope other moms see it can be done , I’m glad I found your page , even an old Mamaw like me enjoys learning something new 💫

[@benpeter7016]

I really appreciate how you protect your kids from the public. Many influencers show their kids off and share extremely intimate parts of their kids days and development and it's always so uncomfortable to me, as if they are selling them. You are showing us that being a mom influencer whilst still respecting your kids privacy is possible and so calming!

[@meggo6673]

It cracked me up when Lisa used her sleeve as a pot holder. I do this often and I always giggle at myself while doing it. Glad to see I’m not alone. 😆

[@The.EstelaSociety]

You are honestly the only person who gives me the confidence to get into sourdough baking. Everyone else makes it so complicated.

[@meggo6673]

I agree. Lisa is very good at making it approachable. After doing sourdough for 15 years, I can honestly say it’s so much more forgiving that yeast bread. It’s so versatile too. You should go for it. In our small town I’ve probably given out 30 starters over the years and I always tell people to master one recipe- usually no knead sourdough boule. And also try one “discard” recipe- freezer waffles, English muffins. Or even start with pizza dough- it’s so easy and nice to keep in fridge for when you need a last minute meal. When people ask me for a starter they’ve usually watched a person who totally overcomplicates it and are intimidated. After they try a few times at one recipe and have success, they realize just how easy it is and feel confident to try so much more. And Lisa makes that easy because all her recipes are spot on.

[@katelijnesommen]

I agree! Most people have such a long list of rules for sourdough, up until the idea that you need to feed your starter daily, even if you're not baking daily - that just absolutely isn't true, sourdough is super forgiving and it can go quite a while without a feed! If more people knew this I think more people would try it. It takes some practice (which imo is fun) but it really isn't very difficult in general.

[@ShesInHerElement]

As someone who has purchased a course from Lisa, I cannot recommend her enough... and now she's offering up her sour dough secrets??? That's a no brainer! She's the Queen of Sour Dough...Take the course!!

[@CindyDriggers]

Your baby is getting so big and he is sooo beautiful. I love seeing your children in the kitchen with you whether they are helping or just crawling around on the floor

[@maryabbott9680]

Oh boy, you’re cooking not only makes my mouth water, but inspires me to do better. It’s only my husband and I , and after 42 years I gotta say, I’ve gotten lazy. However you inspire me to do better for us. Thanks Lisa, you’re like the friend I wish I had as a young wife and mother!❤😊

[@kelseysue4231]

I just had a week off work and I’m proud that I finally did two things I’ve been wanting to try for years. I made some strawberry freezer jam and I got a jar of sauerkraut going. Sourdough starter (attempt #2 😅) is next on my list! Something I’m working on in the new year is embracing that there’s never going to be a perfect time and I’ll never have it all figured out if I don’t JUST START SOMEWHERE

[@MB-vi8zp]

I've seen your channel before but always felt like I couldn't relate to you much because I just don't have the money for living like you do. But I've watched a few of your meal prep videos and I'm feeling really inspired to do more cooking like you do. I do make food at home 99% of the time but it's not from scratch as much as what you do, and probably never will be, but I could certainly do better than I am.

[@jennoq1311]

Everybody I know that grew up on a farm hated farm life and got away as soon as possible. Old people, young people, all of them. I'm always intrigued by that and I don't know why but I just can't help but think of it whenever I see these types of videos and wonder what these kids will do. Just a thought 💭

[@beautifulbuddleia]

These children have such a blessed upbringing ❤

[@micheleandrews4779]

Thank you for sharing your heart with us. It is truly encouraging!! I wish we’d had these kind of tutorials when my kids were little. So many young moms are away from their own families because of work transfer or military. You’re like the big sister who comes alongside and keeps them company. God bless sweet friend!!😊

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much!

[@debrap947]

Have ever used sourdough starter to thicken your gravies or sauces. I tried it the other day, just a couple of tablespoons, it added so much flavour to my gravy...oh my goodness!

[@CassMaxwell13]

Try adding discard to thicken the stew. It’s a game changer.

[@suzannehicks5856]

Lisa, Until I watched you make sourdough did I realize just how forgiving sourdough is in comparison to regular yeast dough. Thus you’ve brought me much joy and good bread to eat in my home Thank you for sharing your gifts with us 😊

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you!

[@hcolumbia4520]

My favorite sourdough meme said that “doing sourdough is like having another mouth to feed that never says thank you” 😂

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

lol

[@DebBeeman-ir9eu]

I love watching all you do to feed your family and such a variety. I love how your daughter gives you a hand with different things! She’s going to be quite the young cook. Love your videos thank you for all of them!!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much

[@tammyleviner3070]

I just love watching you, you put your whole heart into your homemaking. It just blesses me. Your children are so blessed, in many ways! Everything you make looks so mouth watering! Thank you so much for sharing! God bless🙏

[@cindyhammitt1465]

Amazing! God bless you and your beautiful family! You are truly an inspiration and love watching how your family is growing. Mother of 3 grown and now 2 grand babies Watching from Wausau WI.

[@FirstLast-km8lg]

When you use freshly milled flour its important to let autolyse for awhile and knead until it passes the window oanr test. Has made a huge difference in my bread. So much lighter and better.

[@mindimarlow6895]

Your videos are always so uplifting to me. I get so overwhelmed sometimes with three kids, trying to do sourdough, working part time, etc. Thanks to your blog I finally (after 14 years of failure) have a healthy and thriving sourdough starter that I'm confidently experimenting with. Watching your videos has shown me how little I need to be stressing about things like strictly following recipes, having a rigid meal plan, and so much more. Parenting and the other things I love in life fit so much better now. Thank you for constantly being an encouraging force :)

[@sharonmaresh]

I love how relaxed you seem to be while cooking. I love cooking as well. ❤

[@quaintlittlehome]

I saw that reel too and was surprised! I have found sourdough to be so convenient. I don't have to worry about being on time and can store the dough in the fridge for days. I only add yeast, in addition to sourdough starter, when I want something quick to feed my family. Everything you made looks delicious and perfect for cold winter days! ❤

[@nallen1833]

I love your channel. This may seem weird - but it’s calming/soothing - makes me happy to watch you. I am intimidated to start sourdough baking. I work full time with kids active in sports and it just overwhelms me to think of adding bread making on top of everything else. But I want to do it - so thanks for the encouragement! ❤

[@southloupriverhomestead4696]

If you get a starter going there are many great recipes besides making bread. They don't seem as intimidating. I make a wonderful pizza every week with fed starter that has sat out all day. Just pour it onto a HEATED greased stone pan or cast iron. Cook it for 10 or so min they put toppings on and bake again. You don't have to roll it out. Just pour. On her website she has many recipes using the starter. I encourage you to try.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

You can do it!

[@elizabethbertsch3066]

I think also her soothing voice adds to the peacefulness 😊

[@truthbetold2611]

I started my sourdough journey in the last few weeks making waffles daily and a beautiful loaf in the solar oven. First sign of this fermented food being good to the guts is effortless BMs. This is huge to me! Plus the deliciousness! It's crazy not to have it in my plant-based diet. Feeding is easy. When I don't need the starter for a a few days I just stir in and cover with extra flour and leave it in the fridge. The night before needing it I activate it by hydrating with some water and leave it in the kitchen. I'm using different grains and seeds for different texture and taste. So fun! I love watching your very practical way of living.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Love to hear this...sourdough really is easier than most people think and good for you to boot!

[@Honeyhallow]

As a mom in constant noise, I really appreciate your quiet voiceovers. Makes your videos very enjoyable.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Glad you like them!

[@jessbuck7067]

Love love love how you included Victor on the floor and your pup waiting for meat 💕 it’s wonderful to see your family around even while you’re busy cooking. So many channels never show the realities of life with their family around

[@shanimarais9695]

My goodness! The kids are growing soooo fast! Beautiful! Time goes by way too quickly!

[@budgetandplanforit8477]

The oven sleeve as an oven hat pad. 👏

[@samanthahoos9827]

The refrigerator rise for dough is fabulous! I did it 3 days ago pulling out the dough yesterday to make rolls and bread - delicious and really a time saver! I’m going to prep more dough today for the weekend, when I’m off work again. I’m working on cleaning out the box freezer to work into recipes so it will be empty, cleaned and ready for summer harvests. 😊

[@LindseyN1223]

I always love when you talk about your sponsorship with Thrive Market. Something great about them that I want to add is that there are so many people who qualify for a free membership; students, teachers, low-income families, veterans, first responders, and I know there’s more.

[@nataliemendez-y2y]

Oh my gosh! Baby girl has grown up so much! I feel like she went from little girl to teenager really really quick. Reminds me to enjoy my little kids as much as possible because they grow up soooo fast. ❤

[@NorthFork-Ranch]

Just got the tortillas going....that after a baking marathon yesterday. All Farmhouse on Boone, sourdough bread, puff pastry, poptarts, the cinnamon roll star, and the buns. My starter had an amazing workout yesterday and was ready to go today

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

BRAVO!!!

[@almathees3839]

I so enjoy watching you Cook, Bake, and turn out some Delicious Meals!❤ You are very creative in managing your kitchen! Your children in & out of the kitchen waiting for the next meal is nice! Your pup waiting patiently for a meat treat. Priceless!🐾❤️😘💋🫶🏻

I can’t believe how big your littlest is! Such a cutie pie!

[@andelabanozic7929]

Divno, vrijedna zeno❤

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

I've struggled with sourdough in winter. My old house is SO drafty..the timing made it so I'd always have to do something in the night (uh no)..I really needed this video! I usually do my dough on a seed mat...I'll just leave it in a cold area to get it through the night. Thank you so much!❤

[@kellyann771]

I use a little lamp in my oven. It keeps it around 72 degrees when my house is 63 degrees. My oven has a light, but it's integrated and I don't want to use it up.

[@nicolemangum5023]

I love that once you get comfortable with sourdough, you really can’t mess it up. I had a friend who was asking me about sourdough and about what to do for various mistakes and I had the hardest time giving her advice because it all comes with practice. And I told her that but I also wish I could have been more helpful to her 😂 That being said, sourdough is the best.

[@renabuckner8]

I am in my 3rd year of making sourdough bread, English muffins ,tortillas along with pancakes and deserts. I use your recipes and I can tell you I have gotten so use to the sourdough that I have not bought a loaf of bread in over a year…

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

You have gotten it down to a science!! Coming up with great meals while in need to buy groceries…and feeding your family of 10! Very impressive!!

[@judymay4469]

You cook and bake and food for you're family with so much heart and love.meals look wonderful.Thanks for sharing

[@rmwelniak]

I just want to say THANK YOU! I started a starter around thanksgiving and it took every bit of a month and then some for it to become active enough to use, but I stuck with it and have successfully made 3 loaves of sourdough since! I still have much room for improvement, but I can say with certainty that actually doing it is SO much easier than what it seems!!!!!!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

It really is! I'm glad to hear that you stuck with it and it has paid off for you. Sourdough is easier than people think.

[@ElizabethHawks-tp8fq]

I honestly thought there wasn’t much for me to learn, but your mill in the cabinet is BRILLIANT!

[@staceyrogers6125]

I made chicken enchiladas with homemade tortillas and homemade enchilada sauce for the first time a couple months ago and it really took it up a level. They were the most delicious enchiladas I've ever had! Then I was able to freeze some and we got to enjoy it again after the baby arrived! Thank you for always inspiring me to continue taking the extra time and effort to cook from scratch.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

That is awesome!

[@donnawarren4210]

You encourage me and remind me of how life was when my children were young. We just made do. My mom raised us that way. Keep raising your children with these important values and they will be much more able to maneuver through life’s obstacles.

[@janellemartinez538]

I’ve been making your sourdough dinner rolls. My husband ask for them every week now. ❤

[@LindaS-GH8183]

Love your “day in your life” videos. I started making sourdough recipes and breads bc of watching you. Everyone loves my sourdough boules that I make using your recipe. And yes the ice storm shut down schools here in Kansas City area for 4 days!

[@Sandra-pm3it]

You make everything look so effortless! ❤

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much 😀

[@elizabethbertsch3066]

Your loaf of bread was gorgeous! Could I have a slice?😉. And I must say that your little baby crawling on the kitchen floor is so ADORABLE 🥰. Thanks for showing even us older ladies new things. I love you channel!

[@galemartin3277]

I remember having all that energy!

[@ruthgreen2014]

As usual an absolutely wonderful video of practical tips and information. I jumped with glee (honest) when you said if the sour dough is soupy it was fermented too long. Now I know!!! So happy!!! Thank you!!!

[@TheEGA4421]

Lisa, you are doing an extrodinary job of taking care of your family. I was referred to your channel. I am impressed! I have used several tips from you and two other you tubers in designing my home and landscape and also canning, preserving, making "homemade" food from scratch. As you know there are trolls out there who do not like what you and many other "women, wives, mothers, sisters, aunts and grandmothers" are doing. Stay safe and warm because that weather is nothing to take for granted. My friend gave me your sourdough recipe. Now I make my own and yeast bread (I alternate). I love love love your DIY household items. I have done the glass cleaner (my favorite), hand/body soap and lotion. ❤ Your dog is so cute. 🦴🍖🍗

[@thedabler8470]

I giggled at the IG account mentioned, I too have seen that humorous video. I thought sourdough baking would be a hassle myself. But I’ve been doing it for 3 months now and I am happy to report it has become a much loved and needed part of my cooking. Thank you for making it attainable for everyone ❤

[@Abiding_Home]

Your videos are always so soothing and inspiring to watch. I’m a mama to eight as well! ❤

[@cherylzink3612]

Thank you for sharing this video with us Lisa! Wow! Victor is getting big! You cooked so many beautiful and delicious looking meals! I remember we had that icy weather, couldn't go anywhere! We finally got out a couple days later and got us and our elderly neighbors some groceries! Have a great day!

[@miguelinabnasr3719]

So right when you mention that cooking is about finding your own rhythm; it is so different for everyone, but is cool to be able to learn about new recipes and techniques!

[@MariaJohn-qo6un]

Wow! Just wow! I'm not trying to puff you up but when I talk to my husband, I referance you as the super mom. I was told there are no super moms and I thought the Proverbs 31 mother was an ideal not an actual woman but you are riding pretty high to that standard. I want to thank you for putting up these videos. You have inspired me in many areas and I am grateful to the Lord for you. The promise of the Proverb 31 woman is that her children will rise up and call her blessed. I can see that honor coming to you. (Proverb 31. 27-28)

[@Abiding.Farmhouse]

The stew looks so yummy!

[@suerhea2620]

I am trying my hand at sourdough bread baking. And oh, by the way, parchment paper contains silicone and if it’s white it contains bleach also. Just use oil or ghee or butter.

[@laurielangton9333]

We are so lucky to have all this great content from you and all the other channels. Thank you thank you Leisa and For Jars.

[@MindyB767]

Mom of three here who almost cried trying to make bread for the first time😅 Any chance that you could adopt us so we can eat like this?! Even just a week would be great😂

[@stephaniemarley2193]

You inspired me to make a sourdough starter. It’s approximately 4 months old. It’s perfect, still bubbly 4 days after I feed it, right from the refrigerator. I made the tortillas in Tuesday, I followed your recipe from your Blog, and your advise on your video to roll out first, then let them rest and roll again to get them thin. It worked perfectly. One last thing to the nay sayers on here. I just feed my starter unbleached flour and filtered refrigerator water and I have had no issues.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

That is awesome!

[@wilmawagler5058]

I agree wit you sourdough isn’t time consuming. I love having something sour dough going every week day. It’s so delicious and nourishing.
