Thank you for this! I finally got tired of all of the do this, no do this, no this is best, etc. I’m right where you are. Do what is best for your family and shut out the rest.

[@traceyparker1407]

I use my sourdough starter to thicken all my soups and stews. I like doing this because it's already fermented. Just mix a couple of tablespoons of starter in a small bowl with some butter or fat of choice & make a rue. Put that in & stir it until it thickens. Delicious ❤❤❤

[@rebekahtemple250]

I just discovered you last week because I love listening and watching your sister, Lisa. I am so glad I found you!!! Thank you for sharing your days. It's a joy to listen to you and watch you cook and do things around your home. I love how you are real about the different dietary changes you've experienced over the years. I can definitely relate and I am glad I finally settled on what works for me and my family, as well. God bless you and please keep up this good work so I can keep watching! ❤

[@premadimauro2691]

From all of my research the Mediterranean diet seems to be the healthiest. Whatever diet you are trying, it is so much healthier than the average American diet. Congratulations in keeping your family healthy!

[@GoldenDuet]

I follow a Mediterranean diet going on six years. It was recommended by my dermatologist to manage my psoriasis. So far, so good!😊

[@user-qe7ve5cg4t]

You are a proverbs woman. I love to watch your shows.

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

You certainly put a lot of time and effort making healthy meals for your family. Making soap looks like fun!!

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Laura, your tiny bump is too Cute!🥰❣️

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you 🥰

[@shadedflower9530]

Such a beautiful life. God's design. I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you for sharing with me. Blessings!

[@tammyleviner3070]

Know the feeling! When we had our snow/ice sun several weeks ago it was 5 days before anyone could come up our drive or we could get down. We live in the mountains, up on a hill, wayyyy out in the country. I love watching you prepare meals for your family, and your recipes with us! Always enjoy!😊

[@tammyleviner3070]

Lol.. that's storm not sun😄

[@harley8680]

Happy Friday Laura! Ice is the worst. It sure has been strange weatherwise all over. Here in Michigan we are hitting records (today is 59) and I got to celebrate my 60th in 50 degree weather and sunshine. so good for the soul! That chicken sure looks delicious! Have a great weekend!

[@ouroilyhouse]

Wow, that's awesome!! Happy birthday!

[@barbarapeterson8030]

HAPPY FRIDAY Laura, family, and fur babies. STTB

[@kerstinkestler6334]

Thank you for taking the time to make these kind of videos ❤

[@ALMT1621]

Such an on time video for me! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️

[@staceyrogers6125]

I LOVE making homemade soap. Last year I made my first calendula oil infusion with home grown calendula. It made a lovely bar of soap. I am almost out so I need to make more! I love how simple or creative you can be with soap making. I used to make them as an art form and sold them to people in my small town. Three kids later, I'm putting that business on hold until a later time. Always love your videos!

[@chiarad4080]

Really enjoyed it thanks ! Love your little Dutch oven and tiny skillet ! So cute !

[@gingerrogers5062]

I love it that your daughter enjoys making a meal every so often. A very pleasant respite… that what this video is.

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

I love love your videos Laura. You are such a wonderful wife and mom I know. Isn't there such peace when you're at the place where you know you're doing great things for your family. I can't wait till next Friday to see the next video.

[@Abeautifulmundanelife]

Such a lovely season! Thankful for yours and your sisters encouragement of eating whole, homemade foods to feel good- that’s been my way of cooking lately after trying various “diets” too.

[@krystlebreton3335]

Lisa, I’ve arrived at the same conclusions about food for my large family as well. It’s liberating and feels great.

[@judykhaleck8034]

Her name is Laura. Lisa is her sister.

[@ginaszwedko4119]

I do the same thing! I try it all the time! Some work some don’t but it’s interesting trying

[@juliakent2560]

The Lord was speaking to me about IT becoming my idol. I was so worried about the toxins and the sugar etc. And he said to me "you are spending more time worrying about it and doing research than you are being with me and trusting me!" That was the end for me. I try to cook as healthy as I can but we also enjoy boxed brownies and burning a soy candle when we have people over! It's been so freeing. After all... HE is the keeper of our bodies and our children ❤️😊

[@Cinderella1125]

Laura, you're a very caring and thoughtful homemaker!💕

[@sharonkrzyzanowski2283]

I love your videos. You have such nice recipes and ideas for a little of everything! And, your presence is so calming. Thank you for all you do! ♥

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@slayxyourxday]

Love the video! Nice to see someone else make soap too! ❤

[@user-js2gg8fz2c]

Your stew looked delicious! So did your sour dough bread!😋❤❤❤

[@maryabbott9680]

Mmmmmm, that soup looks delicious! I love watching you cook!😊

[@hattiecolley54]

U Rock! Love Watching U Make such Fabulous Healthy Meals. Keep it Pushing!

[@amoleis61023]

My daughter says she wants to visit you and cook with you ❤🎉 thanks for inspiring her in the kitchen, she is 5 years old, haha😊

[@ouroilyhouse]

Awwww so cute!!!

[@kareneakers9540]

I really enjoy your videos! Especially when you’re cooking! Your food always looks so delicious! God bless! 😊

[@user-ny7km1zy7o]

I really enjoy and look forward to all your videos!

[@ouroilyhouse]

Glad you like them! Thank you!!

[@user-gb2fl9xj6o]

When I was 11years old my pastor preached on "all things in moderation". That really stuck with me. I have since tried to eat the foods God has provided, minimally processed, organic and as close to home as possible. Which for me is right out the back door for many of the fruits and vegetables I eat. So many of the touted diets don't live up to the hype or they are out and out found to cause problems. The reason God calls us sheep is because we are so gullible and are willing to follow along after any and all pie-in-the-sky promise. Think about Eve. I enjoy many of the youtube channels. Yours and your sisters. Altho, sometimes I find myself a little envious at all the conveniences you have. 😊 God bless.

[@karinjudge7277]

Love your channel Laura ! I also love when you melt butter in your cast iron skillet. Lol Funny little pleasure. I just made 100 percent Coconut oil soap with a 20 percent super fat. I make a cleaning bar with no super fat , but for hands and shower the high super fat of 20 percent makes it great. Really love this batch !

[@anick6265]

Just loved your video, you are so authentic and inspiring. God bless you and your family, thank you for sharing with us🙏💕

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you so much!!

[@beanieweanie58]

Wrinkle up your parchment it fits in dishes so much better!

[@debrademedici864]

Love your videos !! We all have tried all these diets !!! But I just think healthy, eating good protein, stay way from sugar as much as you can and lots of vegetables!!!

[@lindadykes4040]

Hello. We have some wheat berries. We need to use our grinder and try it out. I really enjoy your channel. God bless you and your family and Much love 💖✝️

[@lindasmith5190]

Enjoyed.

[@mayam6678]

Its so relaxing for me, to watch you going about your daily routine, while I am sitting in my favorit chair having a cup imof tea. It is wonderful how you take care of your family with so much love and dedication. Sending blessing to you and yours, all the way from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@ouroilyhouse]

I'm so glad! Thank you!!

[@bobbiek2960]

Crunch up ur parchment paper, it’s easier to work with. I enjoy all ur videos.

[@MoonFlower52798]

yes, indeed, best hack ever. wad it up once and spread it back out. no more curling up on you

[@pilgrimlearning9530]

Hi Lisa! I've also been researching diets and nutrition, as well as natural medicine, for years now! My family is doing animal-based now, only meat, eggs, raw dairy, some fruits and fruit like veg like squash. My eldest son is autistic and he, I and my 3.5yo daughter all struggle with anxiety. This diet has taken that away! I've also been struggling with health complaints like joint pains, POTS, and digestive issues, so doing animal-based with lots of meat stock and homemade ferments has been a game changer! Over the holidays I started some sourdough up again and all the issues unfortunately came back so it's back to animal-based now... Thank you for the beautiful video! I'm also ordering soap-making ingredients soon! Can't wait to learn it!

[@wendy3437]

Your soup/stew looked delicious i will have to share with my daughter she is always looking for a ne idea for pork roast other than just pork roast!!! Your soap looks so nice thnk you for sharing.

[@healthyelizabeth]

This video reminds me so much of my own videos. We must have a lot in common!

[@rethawilson6289]

Laura , such an informative video. I

[@ouroilyhouse]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you

[@user-eu7jb8ev8t]

Same here, I'm a health nut across the board, I bake and cook all my meals, only organics no processed or refine etc, etc.... So if and when we do have eat out which is like never, lol.... I do try make a healthy choices, but like you said, I don't lose sleep over it, since we do eat healthy pretty much 99.9 rest of the time.

[@MargieBenson-dv9ek]

❤ stay warm

[@HomemakerHelper]

First of all, I adore that tiny cast iron skillet😂 Second of all, I am the exact same way. Obsessive research and I just need to stop and go DO

[@pattymankowski5375]

That sounds so stressful trying so many diets looks like you are happy with the 20/80 which is great...💛💗💚

[@kristinamikkelsoncasanova6287]

Pete and I went through the different ways of eating as you have including vegetarian which was a mistake. It has all come down to to live as you are..a variety og good food and staying away from processed and GMO foods. Really the right way to eat.

[@KAStodgell]

My opinion is everything in moderation.

[@kalenclark]

Ok you made me so nervous with that lye! I'm over here like if I spill one tiny granule I freak out and honey you were just whippin' it around and getting wild! lolol. I mix mine outside bc I get so scared about the fumes, too. It made me smile/laugh to see you & know I'm prolly over-reacting just a WEE bit about it *ahem*. I love soaping with goat milk... it's such a relaxing ritual (ok except for the lye part for me clearly LOL) and SO worth it! There's no soap like hand-poured and cold-processed IMO.

[@crystalrivers2102]

Oh my gosh, when i heard your voice I went, she sounds like farmhouse on boone!! Love your vids, new subscriber here!

[@ouroilyhouse]

Welcome!

[@sdl5731]

My 80 is during the week, and my 20 is on the weekends! I’m a huge foodie and I have a sweet tooth!

[@simoneclarke5104]

I had to laugh at all your dietary changes, add vegetarian and vegan to that list and this has been our family for the past 24 years! We have tried everything and are back at just whole foods from scratch, no sugar except a small amount of coconut sugar when I bake. This just seems perfect and makes me the happiest in the kitchen. We do travel a couple of times a year, and on those occasions I do as Romans do when in Rome as they say. Thank you for sharing 🥰!!

[@judykhaleck8034]

👋 Laura, How are you? How was your week/day going so far? How are you feeling mentally and physically? What do you have planned for this coming weekend? Are you and your family a 🏈 fan?

[@catherineengel4720]

I love your bread knife. Where can I get one?

[@robynwilliams5928]

I have followed your sourdough starter and have been keeping it alive for 5 months now. But in very interested in milling my own flour. Where do you find wheat berries? I would love to know. I absolutely love your channel and also farmhouse on Boone. You both have such great recipes.

[@afolsom685]

Hi. What brand is the dutch oven in which you cooked the delicious stew?

[@angelab4518]

Very nice videos ❤ Just wondering where those 7 kids are while you're cooking and filming so peacefully... We have 6 kids and there's no quiet moment unless they are watching something 😅

[@Floridiansince94]

You and your sister have the same voice ❤️

[@sarahberrios-rickman8517]

Okay wait. You had me shook at the 3 full blown from scratch meals per day. But then you just said you also make your own soap and shampoo from scratch?? My mouth hit the floor. I feel like I barely have time to shower and put one solid meal on the table. God bless you!! Maybe I need to stop watching you and your sister so much and I’ll have more time to do all the things 🤣🤣

[@joycemiller1150]

What is the appliance that looks like you are heating milk in. Your videos are so peaceful and pleasant to watch. Many Blessings 💕

[@ozarkview928]

Oh my when you took the wreathes off your cabinet doors I got really confused ,for a minute I thought I was watching Farm house on Boone 😅

[@briannamartin2227]

Where do you find the big stoneware mixing bowls?

[@pauline-bc-com-missp]

Congratulations on the baby🤗 why are some sourdough runny n some are chunky n thick? Does it matter for dough texture or taste?

[@terrychittam8483]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@susanneporcher8194]

I was wondering what the measurements are for feeding starter before making bread

[@marybaker9401]

Your videos are always so beautiful and relaxing! Thank you for sharing! 💛🙏🌻🇺🇸💛

[@ouroilyhouse]

Glad you like them! 🥰

[@susantaylor8507]

What is that electronic pot you put the milk in

[@jvgl2024]

Not sure if I have seen one in your kitchen. I now pop cooked meat in my kitchen aid stand mixer with the paddle, and it shreds meat it beautifully with no effort.

[@missymyers7043]

I want to try sourdough but don’t really eat bread; I love homemade bread but don’t eat it because of weight gain. However I hear sourdough is better. Still haven’t jumped on the bandwagon yet. I too have done keto, whole 30, no sugar, etc. It’s overwhelming sometimes to decide what is best.

[@susanpedersen118]

Be very careful with lye. I am glad to see that you are wearing safety glasses

[@judykhaleck8034]

What state or 🌃 do you lived in? Do you or your sister Lisa lived in the same state or 🌃?

[@lorrem2539]

very nice video, but you girls really need to invest in a much larger cutting board that you can just leave on the counter. I got one years ago and it help my cooking game so much!

[@sheilaurie6563]

Where did you get the neat mixing bowls?

[@ouroilyhouse]

They were thrifted.

[@kathyh7826]

Does your redman*s salt have black spects in it ?

[@NorthFork-Ranch]

A sad situation for our family is that our special needs Child began having seizures from consuming bone broth, using the gaps diet turned out to be detrimental to his health 💔...basically every diet has down sides to it

[@mamagsprepngarden]

I came in from your sister's channel ❤️ What was the grain mill that you were gifted? Can you give me a link? Or the brand name? I would love to get one myself ❤️

[@ouroilyhouse]

Yes! Linked in my description box. 😄

[@mamagsprepngarden]

​@@ouroilyhousethanks so much❤

[@pennyharris1543]

Just a though, why don't you move those beautiful heavy bowls to the lower shelf. Seems like you use them a lot. I look forward to your videos to see what y'all are up to.

[@ouroilyhouse]

That would be ideal, but toddlers lol 🤣🤣🤣

[@premadimauro2691]

I personally do not feel that keto is one of the better diets

[@verreedoiron183]

Are you related to Lisa on Farmhouse on Boone? Your voice and speech cadence and style of your videos are almost exactly like hers

[@colinchick2692]

I know that both you and Lisa have had boys apart from very early in your marriages. Do you think that diet has contributed to having boys or not? Both you and Lisa seem to have healthy lifestyles but I wonder when you had your eldest child was your life different? I dont have a preference for either boys or girls and Im sure you would adore them whatever gender they were but I am curious.

[@ouroilyhouse]

We thought about this before 🤷🏼‍♀️🤪🤣

[@barbarapark5432]

That isn't likely.

[@greenrockgarden2851]

My husband would stroke if I changed that much. I don’t t have to be near him to know what he’s doing, how he is dressed or what he is eating. He likes the same routines with no changes. He’s so predictable.

[@sailorgirl2017]

Are you Lisa's (from Farmhouse on Boone) sister? You two sound identical!

[@ouroilyhouse]

Yes! 🥰

[@sailorgirl2017]

😄@@ouroilyhouse

[@johnp8409]

I was considering subscribing to this channel, but after watching several videos I was fed up with the obligatory sales pitch for something, coz we don't have to put up with enough adverts from KZbin so no subscription here.

[@cassandrasmom]

Just fast forward.

[@ladyt1277]

She's nothing but click bait anyway. Scroll comments first before you watch. You'll get the gist. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. So hard to listen to her.

[@harley8680]

How unfortunate for you missing out on an amazing channel because you are so petty!
