I think the way you cook should be considered the “normal way” it’s home cooked/homemade , good ingredients, protein, veg, starch and fats, and your sauerkraut. It’s balanced. ❤ great video as always! The bump is looking cute!

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Not everyone can do that and that’s ok. We need to respect others and the way they feed their families. We all do the best we can

[@soniawelcher8159]

Your family are so blessed to have such a wonderful person that cooks normal in my opinion!❤❤❤

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you so much!!

[@delinayoungs3988]

I bet those fried pork chops were so yummy. You cook like my mother did and I still think her cooking was the best ever ! your family doesn’t realize yet just how Blessed they are to have a mother like you.

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thanks so much!!

Hi Laura ( or is it Lara ? ) 😊 Here is a family favorite recipe that is simple and so delicious. ( German pork and Saurkraut ) Take a baking pan, layer peeled and cut lengthwise potatoes ( any type). Lay pork steak , pork chops or boneless ribs on top of the potatoes. Then top with sauerkraut. Salt and pepper. Cover and bake till potatoes are soft and meat is done. A hour ? 350 degrees. I usually let it cook slow all day. Either in a crockpot or oven on low. It’s actually better the next day. It’s a recipe that you can add more or less of any ingredient. The more sauerkraut the better. More tangy. I put a couple chunks of butter on top as well. Hope you try it ! Love your channel 😊

[@ouroilyhouse]

Ohhhh sounds good! I'll have to try that!

[@ninaalexa6163]

I love the way you guys live and the meals you guys make... I didn't grow up in that kind of setting...I have 9 kids and after my fifth, I realized the take out/chx nugget/Mac and cheese processed food from a box wasn't the way I wanted my kids to grow up...insert Lisa and Laura ...I literally got inspired from you two, 4kids later, we now eat 90% at home, and I always picture you guys when I'm getting ready to make food for my family...I'm so grateful for you both ...you all took out the heavy overwhelm that I imagined home cooking all the time would be ❤

[@harley8680]

Laura, the little chest vignette in the hallway is just the sweetest! What a great find! Last week, by chance your sister Andrea's You tube came up in my feed and I watched some of her videos. So great that all 3 have their own channels. Hope you are feeling good! Have a great weekend.

[@tinagingrich3039]

What is Andrea’s channel?

[@goldakaplan1861]

I would like to know as well! I love Laura and Lisa’s channels, so much inspiration!

[@susanh3936]

I would also like to know

[@jacquelineberrezak1248]

Me too

[@teddygingerbear1372]

I believe the little oak chest you purchased is referred to as a dry sink. These were typically used with a pottery pitcher & bowl set used for washing up before running water in homes. I have one which was passed on to me from husband’s grandparents. I refinished it years ago and initially used it in my sewing room but after downsizing its now in my foyer. Very attractive useful piece, I’d say you scored! If also seen it used as baby changing table with a cushioned pad on top.

[@aileenjackson1706]

Your children are so lucky to have such a wonderful Mum.

[@ouroilyhouse]

You are so kind!

[@PaulBunyon-t1x]

Love the the new addition to the hallway.

[@jackimanley3056]

That's how i meal plan too. I just see what i have and throw it together. I also have a binder with recipes we like and ill use that too, but i always end up changing the recipe a bit just based off what i have :)

[@maryabbott9680]

I love how in the backround, your fireplace mantel is visible. It looks so good! You did a great job Laura! And that pork chop lunch, yum I’ll be right over!🤣

[@patriciakoester1580]

I just love all your videos especially your cooking & baking videos- OUTSTANDING-Thank you for all you do. Patricia

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you so much!!

[@almathees3839]

You are a Great Mom & Homemaker!🫶🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You are creative in all you do to for your family! Meals are healthy; locally sourced meat/ Veggies! So long as ur family is happy it’s all Good! Enjoy ur Home!❤️😍🫶🏻

[@brecruz4832]

I’ve been I homemaker for 25 years and I cook like you. I don’t meal plan at all. I just stock up and cook my family’s favorite with lots of variations.

[@ouroilyhouse]

Yes! It's the best way for us!

[@JenniSchaffer]

Was just pouring my LMNT in my water when you started!! Love it

[@jendyson6729]

I love that small chest you found. Little pieces like that are so versatile, you can always find a spot in a room or hall to put them and they are a great place for storing towels or whatever, your house looks really nice. I know you said you don't mop much but I do recommend the spin mop if you ever need one. I think they do a really good job without having to get on the floor. Have a nice weekend!

[@ouroilyhouse]

Great idea!! Thank you!

[@jendyson6729]

@@ouroilyhouse I forgot to mention that the spin mop is really good for cleaning base boards without bending over too, lol you can tell I'm getting older ;)

[@nancyrisner1206]

Awe, so happy for the new addition to your family!

[@staceyrogers6125]

That pasta looks delicious!!! I love watching you cook for your family!

[@sueleeg3215]

I also make up meals on the fly. Love your antique store finds.

[@janiceingle2131]

For lunches, many people have leftovers from the night before; various salads such as chef, egg, spinach, chicken, ham; hearty soups; sandwiches from leftover meats, chicken, etc. Something of a different temperature or texture from a full dinner meal.

[@maureenharrah931]

I think her meals look amazing!!!!! I would not mind ANYTIME someone served me these meals! She and her sister.!!!

[@RhondaRobinson-zs5sh]

Great video, Laura! I like the slower narrative. And the content is very good! Love it!!

[@ouroilyhouse]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much!!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

I love the hallway piece. It's so cute! I love the pork chop meal. Great cooking as always Laura.

[@RobertaStonequist]

you and i cabinet clean the same way!! when they sleep, just keep going 🙌🙌

[@stephaniekohman6447]

When you made the chicken pasta dish I missed a few things. What was the white stuff you poured into that dish with the bacon, spinach, onions and HOW much of it? So you eat this dish hot ? What kind of shredded cheese and HOw much cheese?

[@georgettehillard9390]

I love your channel. I cook the same way 3 big meals a day.

[@allisondecaille8495]

Oh yes, your antique find is beautiful. I prefer pork than beef. I hope brooklyn NY is one of the states your sister can ship to.

[@rachellebrooke4614]

Love the your new piece in the hallway!

[@debrademedici864]

You inspire me to get into the kitchen and cook !!!!!

[@cottagecreations1663]

The pasta looks amazing!! 🤩

[@barbarapeterson8030]

HAPPY Friday Laura, family, and fur babies. Loving how you are decorating your home. STTB

[@DebbieSimmons-wl8wq]

Laura, just a little FYI unless you just prefer there is no need to refrigerate your bacon grease. I have a small crock next to my stove that I strain mine into each time I cook bacon. It is so wonderful and I occasionally empty it and wash it but not very often. Just thought I would pass on that bit of knowledge. I realize bacon needs the refrigeration but the grease was actually used to preserve meat decades ago. Love your videos and Congratulations on your new addition!❤

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you! Most the time it still has some bacon bits in it so that's why I put it in the fridge 😊

[@bridgetteurbano1440]

Same Debbie I keep mine easily assessable by the stove :)

[@laubecker4]

Everything looks delicious! Can you send me the link from your light green pot? Thank you Laura, love your channel ❤🙏🏼

[@glendabyford8074]

I cook two to three meals a day from my kitchen and like you its always a full meal...

[@rachelfrees1268]

Your videos are so calming, and pretty.❤

[@kazanapepper4146]

Enjoyed watching. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@saracockburn7468]

Thanks for the video!! Have a great weekend!

[@shannonerickson6076]

I love Branch Basics too. ❤

[@kcotjo]

I always enjoy watching you cook (I really hate to cook) I learn so much from you. I've often wondered too why such big lunches but you're probably right, the growing boys would have to eat 2 or 3 sandwiches to get full so may as well cook a big lunch! I love the little space you created with your latest find!! Thank you for sharing your meal ideas!!

[@susanpacheco8582]

Great meal suggestions. Thanks

[@kate_700]

I love how you made those pork steaks for lunch. Your family is lucky to have you. ❤

[@ambercaldwell1500]

What’s your cleaning solution? And what’s in the spray bottle at your sink that you wash your dishes with?

[@BugsyB1979]

I would love to cook proper lunches like that! I have a large family too with 7 kids but the price of food here in Australia is unbelievable so I simply can't afford to.

[@ronniepearce4438]

Hi Laura I’m wondering if you sew your aprons or purchase? I love that style and would love to know if you are willing to share

[@missymyers7043]

I recently did the same thing…had an extra two hours so I scoured my kitchen cabinets. However 1/2 way thru I found some old cook books and for the next 30 minutes I sat on the kitchen floor going through recipes…and forgot all about the cleaning! 😂 Love your hallway decor, looks so homey yet very chic!!

[@jendyson6729]

lol, who can resist reading an old cookbook ~ I would have done the same

[@mariemomof6200]

Hi! Do you have a link for the fryer that you use for the French fries? By the way I absolutely love your channel content and I watch you religiously every week! And congratulations on the newest member of your family! Can’t wait to see! ❤

[@ouroilyhouse]

Yes! It's on my Amazon shop. It is a fry daddy! And thank you so much!!

[@lindasmith5190]

Enjoyed.

[@pinkcastle661]

Great video

[@pawlah1]

Laura, I love watching Lisa from Farmhouse on Boone too! Have you heard of her?😂 you both are awesome ❤❤❤ Blessings!

[@ouroilyhouse]

🥰🥰🥰

[@jessicaj8148]

What size IP do you use? I have a 6qt but thinking of getting another for back up since it’s 7 years old now. Thinking of an 8qt

[@francinemilette8535]

Thanks for sharing, love you!!!

[@judithbutler9695]

I have to say the meal looked spectacular to me!🤷🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was always heartbroken when my kid’s didn’t like something I had a huge pot of😬🙄 i still have to hear about my stuffed pork chops☹️☺️❤

[@deborahhopkins7763]

I always enjoy your videos! 😃 I am wondering how you decided on the name for your channel?

[@ouroilyhouse]

My channel started off as an essential oil education channel, a couple years ago I started sharing different content but kept the name 🤪

[@ChrisMcCormick-u3m]

Love your channel 👏🥰

[@pamelar5868]

❤Pleasant video.

[@TessieDobey]

We are a family of twelve and this is how I was raised to cook; big meals for all three meals.

[@ouroilyhouse]

Yes! So much easier with a large family!

[@tinawilliams3059]

Laura, where do you get your aprons?

[@ouroilyhouse]

I have them linked in my description box. 😊

[@sherrylee1072]

I would be interested in your sister Andrea’s KZbin can you tell me the name of it

[@Daisyscottage]

I would also. If someone could share her channel, 😊that would be wonderful.

[@tessab.2065]

It's Andrea Vehige.

[@charlottecoker4036]

I didn’t realize that they had a sister by the name Andrea You might be referring to their you tube friend that they have visited several times I have been watching all 3 of these ladies for many years if it is the Andrea that I’m thinking her I tube channel is (Pine & Prospect Home) Maybe that will help

[@kindnessmatters4068]

​@charlottecoker4036 😊it's definitely their sister. She looks like Laura a lot but sounds just like Lisa 😊 It's Andrea Vehige

[@lizarce272]

Normally… lunch is lighter for many people/ families. Leftovers, a sandwich with fruit or chips, soup and crackers, a salad etc.. Nothing wrong with how you feed your family, especially since you cook from scratch mostly, your children are eating healthier for sure.

[@katsoutofthebox]

I need some answers from the experts please. I recently started using dōTERRA oils and made a few roller bottles for my son and myself and I noticed an odd smell that lingers on the skin at the end of the day. I noticed it on out hair mostly. We both have long hair and we don't wash our hair every day and it got very stinky after a couple of days because I guess the oil that we put on the back of our necks got transfered to our hair. Is this because of the coconut oil? Did anyone else notice something like this? I have a very sensitive nose and it almost makes me want to quite using our roller bottles.

[@Fawn62312]

You're smart to cook three bigger meals. You're cooking anyway, and this makes for leftovers. Easier overall 😊

[@terrychittam8483]

Yummy

[@kristins2078]

Lunch for my house- leftovers, sandwiches or frozen things. My family is so picky. If they all eat my home cooked dinners I have won :) I can’t even get my kids to have a home lunch, they all rather eat crap public school lunch and complain about it and how they don’t get enough food 🤪 so All that said - this is my biggest battle actually 😥 I buy healthy food and want my family to eat all healthy all day and nope

[@ouroilyhouse]

Aww man that would be so hard! 😫

[@shelbyfeeney770]

That rotel is HOT!!! I’ve made that mistake

[@ouroilyhouse]

🤣🤣🤣
