Cooking from scratch for my large family

[@oldtavernfarm]

I've been following you for years, and am always delighted to see what you're up to. For whatever reason, today's episode really struck me; you've created such a beautiful, solid, well-rounded, thoughtful and sustainable life- the ripples of which touch so many others. Your commitment to your community also stands out; we need each other! PS, please launch a line of Lisa Dresses. Big hugs!!❤

[@nanijeanie]

Thank you Lisa! You are an inspiration to this 68 year old grandma! Do you have a recipe for cracked wheat sourdough bread? ❤

[@juleehunter8032]

I love the idea of you spreading your fashion!! Full skirts with pockets, aprons, midi length dresses!!! No need to create them yourself, patterns would be wonderful❤️

[@paulschertrumpf5265]

Very well said. I was thinking this video seemed just a bit more beautiful than usual. I LOVE her videos.

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Such a peaceful beautiful video. Beautiful time of year with the weather and the produce from your garden, of course your children and all the yummy food you create, what seems to be, all the time😊

Hi Lisa!!!....writing from Italy and you know how fussy we are about food and making all from scratch!Well i would just love to sit at your dining table and enjoy tasting all your wonderful diahes!!!BRAVA!!!👏👏👏😊💯

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you!!

[@kathsetto9724]

I only make hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot now because they peel so easily!!! They practically pop out of the shell!! Be sure to put only 1 cup of water in the bottom of IP pot, put however many eggs you want in a steamer basket, and then I set it for 5m at high pressure with a quick release and immediately put the eggs into an ice bath. After a few minutes of cooling, they can be peeled (or the hard boiled eggs can be refrigerated and peeled when needed. Either way they peel great!

I have no children, am retired, and still barely manage to properly clean the 1 BD apt my husband and I live in in NYC. I make the best sourdough bread and consider that quite a task. But when I watch your videos and see what you do...I just laugh and shake my head. God bless you! You have it down pat...everything! The gorgeous children, the household, the glorious fresh cuisine, etc. It's a good life.

Farm fresh eggs in the instapot peel like a dream. 4 min high pressure. 3 minutes rest. Release pressure and run cold water over them to cool. Perfect eggs!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

yes!

[@monikanf1184]

Sounds awesome! Do you cover them with water?

[@MrsKaddyMom]

@monikanf1184 I have a little metal basket that I put in the bottom of the pot. It has little feet to hold it up. I put my eggs in the basket. Then I add 1 cup of water. That's all you need to get it up to pressure. So water stays below the basket. So the eggs aren't submerged in water.

[@monikanf1184]

@@MrsKaddyMom oh i think that's the little screaming attachment, i have that as well. I'll give it a go next time! Thanks for the tip!

[@MrsKaddyMom]

@monikanf1184 very welcome. It's lovely to have an easy way to peel farm fresh eggs. Game changer for sure. 😁

[@a.b.2458]

Your videos are always so beautiful and relaxing. So sad you have to let others know you are not using the same spoon when taste testing. I taste test with the same spoon all the time and haven't lost anyone yet. 😋 Anyway, awesome video as usual.

I love your consistent message of being inspired in the kitchen by the bounty and blessings of each season, and leaving room in cooking for joy, inspiration, and flow! Late summer always fills me with so much gratitude. Add to that some inspiration for meals from your videos, and I’m set to enjoy this most wonderful time of the year. Abbondanza, as my husband says. I pray that everyone has food, faith, and community to nourish them as we turn towards fall.

[@vickimontgomery5271]

I started steaming my eggs in a steamer basket pot on the stove recently to boil them and am a fan!! They peel consistently easy. I do a dozen at a time.

[@louisedumitru3326]

Hi Lisa. I get so excited to watch your videos every week! They bring me so much delight and are always so peaceful. Thankyou ❤️ (Irish mum living in the UK)

[@BootsandBountyHomestead]

Lisa, just lightly tap the end of the egg, just til you hear the shell crack (you may not see it) and it will peel like a dream.

[@margiebenn-er2mj]

If you use an egg pricker to pierce the tip of the eggs before placing them in the boiling water then they will not crack or burst. I ordered mine from Amazon. It’s a game changer!

[@janeweldon8874]

You make everything look so effortless! ❤

[@jadefetzer4190]

Thank you for making up this meal plan. I am eager to get to where things are effortless in the kitchen (aside from the actual cooking), but right now it would occupy too much brain space to not have a plan. Recently I grabbed a cookbook that is great but minimal on the thoughtful dinnertime meals. This is exactly what I need. So grateful!

[@daniellepitzel]

Gosh I loved this one. This video really hit perfectly this morning. Loving fall recipes - bring on the soups!!

[@jennifercollier2751]

Easy easy peel fresh hard boiled eggs with the instant pot. It truly was a game changer for me with using my chickens eggs this way. Pressure cook 5 min, natural release 5 min, ice bath 5 min. Then peel immediately. The shells slip right off.

[@deborahnickloy5747]

Yes! I was gonna say the same thing!! It's like a layer of water is pressured in-between the cooked egg and the peel. Peeling right away is important or the water gets reabsorbed and it doesn't peel very easy anymore.

[@jeankohtala666]

What a lovely meal plan! I cannot wait to start trying the recipes. I have not jumped onto the sourdough bus yet, but hope to do that real soon. Sauerkraut first! Thanks for your sweet videos.

[@ashtorfarm8866]

Lisa…have you tried steaming your eggs? I was frustrated with my farm fresh eggs since they would not peel until…I started steaming them for 12-14 minutes. Works every time!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Yes, works great.

[@LP-st1kz]

Hi Lisa! Been following you for a long time. I love all your recipes. Wanted to share the way I do my hard boiled eggs. I place as many eggs as you need/want in the Instant Pot. Pressure cook for 5 minutes. Natural release 5 minutes then quick release. Then submerge in cold water for 5 minutes. The shells come off like a dream and the eggs are ALWAYS perfect! Easiest thing EVER!!!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

You can do the same thing on the stovetop.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Yes, I like using the Instant pot too...eggs turn out great

[@MarionaBaldo]

When adding eggs on boiling water, add vinegar to the water as it prevents egg white going outside the egg. I love your videos Lisa!

[@sahmof7]

Oh to spend just 1 day in your home with you! Learning from you and eating this delicious food ❤

[@RC-pf2qi]

Try using a spoon when peeling hard boiled eggs. Get it under the membrane and slide it around the egg. Learned that trick when I worked in a school kitchen.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I figured that out too!

[@debimorsette1685]

I’ve been a fan for several years. Downloaded this Oct Menu Plan. So excited to fix these dishes for my family. Moving from Vicksburg, MS back to Portland, OR soon. 🥰🥰

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

[@lyndakeen1200]

I find with hard boiled eggs Jacque Pepin’s method is best. Before boiling, puncture a hole in the rounded bottom of the egg with a thumbtack and it peels so much easier.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Several others have shared that method too....I trust Jacque to have a good method!

[@wilmawagler5058]

All looks so delicious and wholesome. I love having my own eggs and find letting them sit out and using the oldest ones for hard boiled they peel easy too. I also heard adding a pinch of soda so I do that too.

[@sueleeg3215]

[@monahasadiya2419]

I love your garden, you can pickle the peppers with viniger and sugar and lemon salt & three table spoon salt with garlic and chili pepper

[@patriotmama]

I do my deviled eggs or hard boiled (try to keep them both in the fridge for snacking) eggs in the instant pot. Pressure cook for five minutes, let sit for five minutes in the pot, into ice cold water for five minutes and peel. Peels come off very very easily every single time. I will never cook hardboiled eggs another way again. Love your creamy chicken soup recipe!! Have made it many times and it is a staple with us now. :)

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I cook them like this on the stovetop.

[@tammyleviner3070]

I love homemade meringue. You don't see many people make it these days like they did years ago.. everyone just uses cool whip now, or most recipes call for it i guess 🤷‍♀️ I cook alot but i don't really bake, just not my forte loll😄 But growing up my ole granny lived across the street from my mom & I. She passed in 1979 at 94yrs old.. she was been in 1885. She had running water in he big old house, but no bathroom. There was A washroom with a sink & this little clawfoot tub.. but she still had an outhouse, and a chamber pot by her big old poofy bed. She had A big fireplace in the living room with a big old Victorian couch you literally sank into & another fireplace in the dining room that was big enough i could stand in it! And an old handmade dining table that seated 8-10 people. Really super tall ceilings made of dark bead board. Her old screen door squeaked & slammed.. and this huge front porch with swings at both ends. Lots of Hydrangeas at both ends and down the front with four humongous pecan trees in the front yard. She had plums & blackberries, she would bring bowls of them to me. And sweet potatoes.. she made a sweet potatoe pie from scratch that would melt in your mouth & covered with that big mountain of homemade meringue! She made the best blackberry pies & pecan pies from scratch & would bring them over hot out of the oven!🥧 Oh my i sure do miss her baking🤤 Lol my brother & I would fight over her pies😄 Well.. sorry i went down memory lane on my ole granny's home & baking but its just the best memories so i just wanted to share! You can kind of see that her era would do alot of baking from scratch😉 Your pot pies & galettes look amazing! Enjoyed the video & thanks sharing more good recipes!😊

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

[@heathercreighton9613]

Hi Lisa, if you add a teaspoon of salt to the boiling water, before you cook your eggs, they will seal immediately in the event of the shells cracking.

[@MamavanYz]

Tip for boiling eggs but I will type it in Dutch 😅: als je een gaatje prikt met een speciale eierprikker, breken ze dus niet als je ze aan gekookt water toevoegt! Echt een top uitvinding!!

[@lindsaysain8168]

Have you ever tried fermenting your mayo? I learned how to from Homesteading Family and have not turned back! So easy! I make nearly a quart at a time and it stays good for a long time....if it gets forgotten in the back of the fridge for a couple of weeks, it's still good to go. Although it doesn't usually stay around that long because my husband puts it on everything!

[@jackimanley3056]

What is the agent of fermentation? The vinegar?

[@lindsaysain8168]

I believe in the video about it, she mentions using whey from the top of yogurt...maybe? It's been a while since I watched it. I just add a couple tablespoons of my homemade plain kombucha to the jar before I blend everything. Then you let it sit out on the counter overnight to ferment, then it goes in the refrigerator. :)

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Yes! Shared on a video sometime last year.

[@lindsaysain8168]

@@FarmhouseonBoone Nice!

We also use homemade mayo for dressing, but we mix equal parts mayo and homemade plain sour yoghurt, then add salt and pepper and parsley/chives. So good!

[@PinkieJoJo]

Always super boiling water for eggs. Yep. Some crack. But not usually a huge issue for me. I’m usually making egg salad anyway and so it doesn’t matter. They peel because the heat causes the inner lining to unstick from the shell.

[@LaurieHanson-qu4qu]

If you poke a hole (thumbtack) in the bottom of your eggs before putting in the water, they are much less prone to cracking by releasing the air pocket.

[@TheRayjane]

Great tip thank you

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I have a little device for just this reason, it’s called an egg pricker. It works! Poke the large end of the egg.

If you want to, use your pressure cooker for your boiled eggs. For me, I let my eggs sit out for a few minutes so they're not so cold. My pot is old so I set it for 2 minutes, don't know the pressure, let it natural release. The eggs peel like a dream and are perfectly cooked.

[@tistheseasonforpoetrybyvan239]

Hard cooked eggs: put in cold steamer pot and turn stove to high and set timer for 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan. When cool enough to touch, crack eggs once and set in cold water then peel. Or, let cool completely if you have time and then peel. This works for me no matter the age or source of the egg.

[@mcwoomanor4880]

Hiya great video as always from a viewer over in Shropshire England, just a top tip for removing your egg shells is put a couple of pinches of salt in your water with your eggs, boil up and they come off as easy as pie!!,

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

It really depended on each pregnancy and how I felt but I would say I took it easy a minimum of 4 weeks sometimes longer. Just listen to your body and accept help when it is offered. Do the minimum and be at peace with that...it is such a short time.

What did you buy for food and eat?

@@FarmhouseonBoone Right. I would be interested if there are any specific episodes you could point me to. I suppose my biggest question is regarding the food when you want to eat well, but you can only afford certain things. What foods did you prioritize?
