Hello Jessica and friends 😊 I think I speak for the majority when I say, we’re here for your ‘down home’ cooking and content! There’s an abundance of information you share in a way that feels doable and not intimidating. Thank you for being true to yourself and no need for any apologies. Be & Stay Blessed ❤

[@WellaWally65]

I feel the same about Ms. Jessica’s Videos. True!

[@valeriemacrae8441]

I feel very grateful to have found your channel and everything I am learning from you. My goal for 2025 is to can and pressure can more this year and it’s inspired by you and Ruth Ann Zimmerman. So thank you and God bless you and your family

[@janeskusal5368]

I think with what is going on, uncertainty, Canadian here, these simple meals are important skills to demonstrate

[@lailayen765]

@@janeskusal5368 I agree 100%!! She is amazing!

[@cynthia5018]

We All Love You And Your Family Jessica 💜 God Bless You All

[@kbailh01]

Jessica, I’m a 66 year old wife, mother and grandmother who thoroughly enjoys your channel. Do not assume that everyone knows how to do simple meals. I experienced this first hand this past Friday evening. Three ladies from my church came to my house to prepare food for an event at church. Two of the ladies were a few years older than me and one was in her 40’s. None of them had kitchen skills. I had to show them how to use a knife and cutting board. They were shocked that both my husband and I cook almost every meal at home. None of them do. We had a simple dinner ready for them. They were shocked. Jessica, you always say you are a homeschool mom to your family. Your channel provides valuable information on many subjects to your viewers. Don’t apologize for simplicity, that’s the foundation so many need. Continue your journey in providing excellent content.

[@marysidle5132]

You say you feel silly showing us basic meals, but you have no idea the meal ideas you come up with that help those of us who are stuck on what to make!! Thank you for sharing all your blessings with us. Take care of you. GOD bless

[@threerivershomestead]

Thank you for the kind words ❤️

[@valeriemacrae8441]

Yes indeed I agree

[@mamamode1312]

I agree too. There are lots for various reasons who truly benefit from your vlogs. That being said, your ans your family health comes first. ​@@threerivershomestead

[@kawaiigamergirl2584]

I want to see everything I don't care about repeating meals. You shouldn't worry about it so much. You inspire everyone with these videos. And I enjoy being inspired by them.

[@bettypearson5570]

I love watching these videos even though my children are long grown and gone and I have zero need to cook in bulk. It is nice seeing basic skills being handed down to the next generation and a family thriving in a more natural manner than having Captain Crunch for breakfast, Oreos for morning snack, Lunchables and pop for lunch, potato child for afternoon or nighttime snacks and frozen pizza or chicken nuggets and fries for dinner.

[@ritabaker3113]

I love all your natural from scratch cooking and baking

[@jenniferrescott1149]

Recording repeat meals is more work for her. Otherwise I'd say the same

[@phyllisharrison2184]

You’re one of the best channels I watch. You never need to apologize for anything! Keep taking such great care of your sweet family! ❤

[@juststoppingby390]

I love to see your older son cuddling his younger siblings with such tenderness. You have raised a remarkable young man

[@rhondatrumier5530]

I’m so ok with repeated recipes. Every home has their favourites. Love your content. Just be you…you’re amazing.

[@RandiMochamer-c5j]

One of our repeated favorites is “Meatballs and Red Gravy.” It’s a recipe from my mother-in-law, a mom of six kids spread out in ages. Instead of a single meatloaf, she made her regular meatloaf recipe and then formed it into meatballs in appropriate sizes for each child. She baked them a bit in the oven before adding her gravy. One night she did something a little different; added a can of Campbells Tomato Soup (with one can water each can). She served the meatballs with the “red gravy” over mashed potatoes… and a favorite meal was born. Each child, especially the little ones were very happy with their very own meatball! BTW, once baked a bit in the oven, these meatballs freeze well and can be used in multiple ways! I find it amazing that favorite meals are often created by accident! 😎

[@jenniferharris1761]

And I am always trying to find a recipe she has shown us before! Lol

[@Old.gardener]

I’m an older woman with no little ones around me anymore, so seeing your happy children always brings smiles to my face. I look forward to every video that you make. 😊

[@teressastuckey]

It's great to see your older children helping out. This is how children learn and learn to love. So precious.

[@terisoto8230]

Jessica please don't apologize. Your a care and a wonderful mother. And you always making food best for your children. You do more than enough for your children . Some mothers done even do a quarter of what you do .

[@christiepyle7516]

I wish you WOULD show your redundant meals, to me that means DEEEE-LICIOS!!!! And, a lot of cooks need encouragement, and that's what your channel provides without the fussiness in recipes that so many channels are about. Be blessed, and it's always a blessing to see your videos❤

[@beckysteinmiller338]

You son snuggling with Miss Hannah stole my heart. Proof that your family works together to support one another. Proof of excellent parenting and family values. Take care of yourselves!

[@reginastarkey3067]

The food you cook has loving energy. That is all the beauty needed.

[@joyces.9021]

Repeating meal ideas is actually helpful to me, because I can forget recipes from last year….😂 Thank you, Jessica, for sharing your life with us. 🥰

[@LibraryLizard]

Remember that videos like this serve as homemaking encouragement even if you’re not showing new recipes. For me at least, it’s comforting to see someone else “doing the work” of homemaking with grace. ❤❤❤

[@erinb.5103]

Jessica, please don’t feel silly about sharing your delicious simplistic meals. Whether they’re repetitive or not, I enjoy just watching you use your home grown or great quality food in your meals. It’s quite enjoyable and looks delicious. I hope you and your family have a blessed week and stay safe with the upcoming weather heading our way.

[@threerivershomestead]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@glendaharding4884]

Good morning my dear friend, I also agree with the majority here, seeing repeating recipes is not a problem and no need for worry!! You always have such creative ideas for meals!! You are looking lovely and Abigail is so alert, love her little shirt about being born by the elevator - very clever of your midwife! Have a blessed week and look forward to seeing you next week!!

[@RandyYount]

Jessica I will watch any of your videos your meals are great you are not running a restaurant but feeding your family the presentation does not matter as long as it taste good to the family. I am 73 years old and have learned or relearned so much for you with your organizational skills sometimes your simple meals give me ideas of different ingredients or way of fixing. Thanks so much for your videos. Amy from MS

[@carolmalko615]

I got some new ideas from you today, Jessica. I know you think it might be boring but trust me, it wasn't! And adding in those beautiful kids of yours just makes the videos all that much better. I'm glad you are feeling so back to "normal" lol. Watching your normal almost poops me out!! You are surely a Wonder Woman! Have a wonderful week. ❤

[@user-mf4xc1dw5y]

What beautiful shots of your son holding his little sister at the end and looking so happy. Your baby has lovely big eyes like you.

[@jenniferphayakalas3196]

Even the simplest of meals may be an inspiration to someone. You never know when you’ll give someone the motivation to get a warm meal on their table.

[@BrandiNNiNi]

I know you're crazy busy with such a large family, and I love your content whether it's redundant or not. For your regular followers I believe we're all here for you and your family so please don't feel the need to please us with your daily content meals. I love your efforts regardless. As always, a thumbs up for your channel and family, God Bless❤

[@kimberlylholt]

My daughters hens are laying like crazy!! She has an abundance of eggs. We are so greatful.

[@marking-time-gardens]

Thank you Jessica for sharing meal prep with WHAT you HAVE on hand... basic ingredients... leftovers into new meals... not wasting and not always with a set recipe. (I was blessed to growm up learning this in the 40"s through the 60's and still meal prep this way today.) MANY of the younger generation are asking for help in learning these skills. You are helping them and encouraging them with your example through your videos... please continue to do so... thank you! Blessings on you and your beautiful family! 🌿💚🙏👵

[@judithbutler9695]

Don’t feel silly, I love all your content ! Fantastic ideas as usual. You continually amazed, inspired, and touched by your knowledge and tireless efforts for your beautiful family. Please continue to rest when you are able.❤❤❤❤

[@darlenebrown3993]

Thank you for sharing. Even if it’s easy it’s good to see that food does not have to be complicated to be healthy. Also thank you for showing how you rehydrate the freeze dried foods❤

[@TeamD2012]

Don’t feel silly, ur food combos might give others ideas on how to throw stuff together that they may not have thought to do. & there may be some brand new cooks watching. Thanks u! U ROCK! ❤️

[@KristineFiore]

Congratulations on the new addition. She is beautiful. God bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing with us. You are doing an amazing job.

[@claudialeger3208]

All suddenly looks back to normal with one tiny, adorable addition. So happy to see you doing well and Abby thriving. Miss Hannah is all grownup. Big sister’s have to properly learn the fork maneuver to explain to little sister. Hannah watched her big brother closely and learned quickly- so amazing. Take care of yourself, Jessica. Have a glorious week.

[@renamaemcdonald2075]

It's beautiful to see the older siblings helping look after the young children ❤❤❤

[@judyfrantzen527]

It’s nice to have all those ingredients previously preserved ready to use anytime you need them!

[@hann3671]

When you mentioned people freaking out about not washing your hands after making your delicious looking meatballs, my husband always makes a comment that just because you don’t show you showering doesn’t mean you don’t shower! Makes me laugh every time. People just want something to complain about.

[@ritabaker3113]

AMEN

[@CrystalStearns-z7y]

Don't ever apologize for showing the food you cook. I'm a retired RN and married for 52 years and you still show me new ways to use things I have in my house to eat and ways to use up my leftovers. You are an inspiration to all women.

[@cherylcurry2948]

Every time I see your Sunday videos, I think of how truly inspiring you are. You had a baby a month ago, and here you are making videos for strangers on the internet. I don't know how you do it. I appreciate the time you take in your week to do this for us. I look forward to your videos every week! God bless you!

[@joykleinhenz6118]

Happy Sunday ☀️ Great moment with David & Hannah. Wishing you & family a wonderful week!

[@cherylbeckett2432]

Awww, David and Hannah are so sweet there together! Love your content Jessica, thank you for continuing to bring us videos when you are so busy ;)

[@mishmoshsoup3461]

Good morning Jessica and I just am so happy for your family that baby Abby is doing absolutely amazing. Congratulations 🎉❤. You keep saying that your food may not be the most attractive and I will say, your food is nutritious and clean in ingredients and that is the most important aspect for your family. We cannot expect for all our food to be Instagram perfect, that shouldn't be the most important part of feeding our family, it should be the nutritional value that is paramount. Thank you for sharing what you feed your family with us. All the best to all of you.

[@paulaelves5160]

your children are so beautiful ,i love how the older dotes on the younger,,, they have the most infectious smiles, truly blessed xx

[@susanfreeman6350]

Oooh! That corn and leftover soup looked yummy! I totally agree with the other viewer who remarked on your older son cuddling Hannah. Along with all the other valuable lessons you’ve taught him, he’s also learning from Adam’s example how to be a loving dad.

[@LargeFamilyHomestead]

You've always given me so many great ideas on how to feed my family healthy foods in a limited amount of time. I appreciate the time you take to make it happen! ♥

[@janicew6222]

I love watching your videos and seeing how you use up your food, never boring to me. Many Blessings!

[@Tia-vj9ox]

Your organization systems are incredible! Most of us are humbled and amazed by all you do❤

[@Tia-vj9ox]

PS, I love white food!.Lol🥰

[@JennaGoforth]

I’ve read several comments in the first 4 minutes of watching the video this week & I agree with them. I don’t care about repeat videos or “redundant” tasks. I just appreciate your showing up and making these homemade meals for your family in any way you go about it. You had a baby a month ago, give yourself grace. We’re here for it ALL ❤ Happy Sunday, Three Rivers family!! I hope you all have a blessed week! My littlest one woke up with a high fever and body aches this morning. Stay well ❤❤❤

[@threerivershomestead]

Thank you so much for the kind words. ❤️

[@annemaguire657]

I don’t know why, but little Hannah is dear to me, maybe that’s when I joined your channel as she was just born :/, lovely end to your fabulous video (as per usual), big brother love…….Abigale’s face beside the muffins, hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ❤️ from 🇮🇪

[@rhonwyngeiger6918]

New baby favors her sister, Hannah. Loved the meals that you fixed. Super Mom!!

[@itsyagirlcandy]

Omg the best was the ending, watching your son hold his baby sister that was so precious. Love your video's congrats on baby, have a Blessed week.

[@gr8carn4u]

Hello friend, I just wanted to say how absolutely in awe I am at the meals that you provide for your family. The variety is amazing. Who cares if they’re not “pretty meals.” You’re feeding your family nutritious, healthy meals. You have worked so hard at preserving the food. I’m a mother of 1 (unfortunately I couldn’t have any more), and my daughter is grown. If I had to do it all over again, I’d do it like you. You are an inspiration to a lot of people. Keep up the amazing work you do. Also, your baby is beautiful.

[@ellenradford8582]

DO NOT APOLOGIZE! The reason folks are interested in you is you are real and authentic. You do not have things in the recipe that are scarce and rare to find.

[@kimr4005]

You under estimate your culinary talent. As one who has scratch cooked all my life I am surprised that most people don’t do this. And I respect how you do not waste anything. So many YT cooks do waste and I love that you show what to do with every little thing. Although I am single, kids are raised and gone it is in my dna to not waste a drop or scrap.

[@H_isforHomestead]

Honestly, I LOVE seeing your simple meals. It’s like it helps my brain and gives me permission to just nourish my family. I always come away encouraged to do better when I watch your videos!!

[@WeepingWillow422]

Your family -- husband and nine children -- are very blessed to have you, Jessica. I don't watch these videos for your recipes (although sometimes I do draw inspiration from them), I just like seeing all of the love you put into feeding your family.

[@threerivershomestead]

That's so sweet of you to say. Thank you!

[@tammylyn7899]

Good morning You would be surprised how many young people don't know how to cook and use the crock pot

[@sandrahubard251]

Good afternoon. I enjoy your content. Congratulations on the new baby! She is beautiful. I do want to mention that I have a crockpot with the latches and my instructions said to NOT latch when cooking for safety reasons but I don't remember the details as to why . It said to only latch when transporting . You may want to check yours and see what it says.

[@threerivershomestead]

Thanks for letting me know! I'll have to check into that.

[@diannahart2334]

Be still my heart...the way your little boy looked up at you just melted my heart! Abby is a beautiful baby. I think she looks a lot like Adam and Gabriel.

[@AZJH8374]

[@BrittanyTurner-r7v]

You never have to worry about sharing repeat or simple meals! Some of us around here need all the repetition and simplicity you have to offer. 😅 Thankful for you and the extra work you put in to share this beautiful way of living with the world!

[@aramintaverwys1934]

First..... hey Jessica!!! Happy Home Church Day 🎉🎉🎉 Sending joy and peace to you and your family. Your Michigan Fan and Friend Araminta 😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@irenesoutar1254]

I really enjoyed when you shared what you ate in a week. Honestly, even the basic meals you make come with surprises like adding something left over so there's no waste. The way you creatively use foods so there's nothing thrown out has made me think of how I do things and consider doing something differently. Thank you for sharing this post, it's a blessing to see you and your family. God bless

[@ksandoval3130]

Jessica, I have to tell you I have a similar crockpot. And I always thought the little latches on the sides were for when you traveled with the crockpot. I could never understand why my crockpot never really worked correctly. After watching your last video and now this one I started locking down the lid and my crockpot works amazing. I learned something new from you, so thank you.

[@nadinefrandsen6087]

Hi Jessica🙋🏼‍♀️ I don’t always comment but I do always watch. In fact, I look forward to your videos every weekend. I wanted to come in here and say I truly enjoy any and every meal you share. And especially because you show how you use what you have, grow, and preserve and also because you do everything you can to not waste. Thank you so much for the positive motivation. You have such a sweet family.

[@OkieJammer2736]

😌 I crave simplicity in everything these days. Your channel is a comfort. A respite. I've watched for years and have never been bored, and I'm sure lots of your subscribers feel the same way. Blessings on your pretty head!

[@cathys9468]

What a sweet end to the video!♥

[@marykappesser5145]

I'm not bored by the day to day meals that you prepare. I get ideas from you that helps me use up bits and pieces of leftovers or freezer items.

[@marilynabraham5528]

They're not redundant to me. You are inspiring so many of us to cook homemade, home grown/local food, and I just want to say THANK YOU! ♥️🙏🏼

[@kram14]

It doesn't feel redundant or boring at all!! I don't care if there are repeats...truly love the content!! ❤

[@Dindasayswhynot]

@three rivers homestead The best tip I ever got on your channel (and there have been alot!) was a couple of years ago when you said we needed to use what we worked so hard to grow/find/preserve. I was having a ball preserving the way I have for years - being prepared to meet the needs of others. I looked around and realised this is no longer the home of years past. I had no need to preserve in the same way. So I took time to assess fiercely what my life is now, what I had, what I really needed, what I could manage and started planning and using accordingly. I've been doing pantry challenge for 2 (maybe 3 years?). Benji was a tiny on your back when I started watching. I'm gaining control for this new life. People would't think a channel about a family with 9 littles would be helpful for a family of 1, but it is. Principles never change.

[@threerivershomestead]

I love that. Thank you for sharing ☺️

[@denellrandall3441]

I love seeing the simple, 'boring' meals! Helps me feel good about my own simple boring meals I cook for my family

[@southloupriverhomestead4696]

Jessica, I want you to know that showing these simple healthy meals is IMPORTANT! Many people have seen only recipes that are like rich decadent holiday meals. I don't quite know how to clearly explain what I mean. This is the kind of meals served in 1960's when the people were healthier. No recipes needed just show it again and again please. You are being a great example. It seems boring to you but it's important to show.

[@threerivershomestead]

Thank you for the encouragement ❤️

[@JennaGoforth]

I agree! I had a hard time explaining what I meant in my comment as well. ❤❤❤ I don’t like having to pull a recipe. I am more prone to just loosely follow it.

[@julieemig432]

Great ideas for using up what you have

[@debracarnley788]

Abby is precious! Thanks for sharing!

[@charlenehughes605]

I have had a tough year. And it's barely the middle of February. Your melodious voice and explaining through the video calms me. So I appreciate you ❤ it is also nice to be able to see all your kids so happy and it's cool to see them grow through the videos. Be well. Have a great day

[@haou132]

I just love you and your family, and all your vidéos!!! You are unique ! Blessings +++!!!

[@Undmommydiaries]

Thank you for sharing your meals even if you feel it’s mundane . It really helps me because I honestly don’t know much about cooking and have been learning a lot since becoming a wife and mother , and soon to our 3rd child on the way. This really helps me in realizing I need to think smarter not harder and utilize my crockpot oven or instant pot more. Oh and congratulations on your beautiful baby to you both! God bless your family

[@dianebondhus9355]

It was wonderful seeing your beautiful family and the nutritious meals you made! ❤ Thank you for sharing 💐

In this world of constant take out especially with the younger generations, I wouldn't assume everyone knows how to put stuff in a crockpot. Wonderful video - thank you.

[@jennbidwelledwardson2885]

I usually bake my meatballs rather than fry them but hadn't thought to cook them from raw right in the sauce in the oven. That's a great option.

Love watching your beautiful family! I noticed in your “ meal plan” a label that said DAVID BISCOTTI If you have a good biscotti recipe ,I would love to see it.

[@bettyadkisson1681]

I was so blessed too receive extra veggies and fruits so I canned celery soup starter,kosher followers and sweet pickled peppers,canned cauliflower,carrot,onion nixed veggies,chicken and bone broth canned and have apples lefted too finish. And I still have a half gallon bag of peppers,I might try a stir fried chicken blend or chicken salad sandwich spread and more canned meatballs & Salisbury steaks. I was blessed with a pie crust and sugar for fruits, so u will try a pop tart.

[@renata-s5b]

Love watching 'ordinary' cooking of yours. Nearly always I find sth new 😮❤

[@wendymiller1367]

I really enjoyed this video. Normal. Getting back into a routine. So relatable. New subscriber here. I went back to some of your older videos to get to know you a bit. I really appreciate your testimony. We are building our own homestead and are hoping to move there this spring. I have one child with severe food allergies, very few people understand. It felt so relatable to me. I had to keep blinking back tears. Unless you have your own people really don't understand the choice to not attend some functions, or the need to leave early etc. Appreciate your content and looking forward to learning from you.

[@journeywithnichole]

Beautiful children with beautiful parents, living a beautiful life! You're still my favorite after all of these years. Thank you for your channel.

[@catracampolieto8989]

Thank you for another awesome video. ❤

[@mikaduchna1987]

Don’t worry about showing simple but delicious meals, sometimes just seeing this sparks some ideas:) Sometimes I forget even the simplest food combos that once was our favorite other times I’m learning new ways of doing/serving something. Thanks for sharing!

[@lray7421]

I love watching you cook!!!! I don't really care if you repeat the methods or recipes. It is just so wonderful hearing your commentary and seeing your beautiful family. It is my escape from all the negativity in the world today. I had totally forgotten about rice cakes. It has been forever since I bought any. In addition to chicken salad they would be perfect for tuna salad, hummus (sliced tomat/cucumbers), nut or seed butter/bananas etc. I will get some next time I am at the store. Thank you for sharing your farm life with us. Wishing you all the best! ❤

[@ditackett]

I love to see little kids little toddlers, eating the same meals as mom and dad or their older brothers and sisters. So many families nowadays caters to each one of their children to their likes and dislikes and most of the time the choices are not healthy they’re sugar, cereals, or high processed donuts with sugar so good job mom

[@RandiMochamer-c5j]

I was gone most of January with my husband as he was undergoing radiation treatment for cancer. We are home and he is craving all the simplest of home cooking. So I’m eager to do the pantry challenge now. Luckily, I’ve been able to get most fresh foods from Flash Foods; most produce boxes are just $5.00!
