Garden Fresh Recipes from the Homestead and More Food Preservation!

I'm Greek and I hope you don't mind some tips. Tzatziki is pronounced with the t and z in front. Traditional tzatziki includes garlic and shredded cucumber ( not diced or cubed) which is salted and strained. You can add dill if you want. Without the garlic it's just a dill cucumber sauce. Tzatziki needs to include garlic. Hope this helps.

[@justpatty7328]

She did add a couple of teaspoons of garlic. How much garlic do you recommend? Thank you for the shred, salt and strain tip.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

I love tips! Always willing to learn! I did add 2 tsps minced garlic, maybe I’ll try the shredded, salted and drained next time! It’s always nice to know how to make something truly authentic!

[@WendyAWong]

Another tip i learnt for removing the cabbage leaves is to put the whole head in the freezer for several hours, then, remove leave to defrost, and after its defrosted it becomes soft and easy to peel off leaves and very manageable, theres no need to boil them soft, as they will already be soft and easy to work with. 🙂

[@Just-Nikki]

I do that as well. Works grest.

[@Junkinsally]

I don’t think the purple potatoes have ever looked better than they did in the BKF hash! The beet kvass is traditionally used in Borscht soup.

[@jenfa582]

Will definitely try the last meal of the video, that looks absolutely amazing! 😊

[@bethhelminiak5063]

Tabouli (bulgar wheat salad) is another good base for a Mediterranean bowl. Near East brand makes a shelf stable mix that calls for tomatoes; I like to add cucumbers and red or yellow bell peppers (diced) to it as well.

❤ Excellent video thank you for sharing

[@josephhoag2366]

Looks delicious!...C.H.

[@LynnBoergermann]

I love Cavenders Greek Seasoning too! It’s good on pork tenderloin too! Also in a casserole with corn and cream cheese softened. Heat the casserole of course.

As someone who has a celiac family, I really appreciate your nod to those of us who are gluten challenged with mentioning gf alternatives.

[@cindynance7289]

Wonderful video! I so look forward to your ‘in the kitchen’…and thanks for sharing your tea recipe! Everything looked yummy… Going to try the cabbage rolls! Have a great weekend! Congrats on reaching 50,000! Here’s to many more happy subscribers! Hugs from Ohio

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thanks so much! 😊 I appreciate you and your sweet words! Blessings and enjoy!

[@asc3998]

Have you tried licorice basil tea? It's my absolute favourite! Also, have you tried making a simmering potpourri with the stems, flowers... from the basil? I grew cinnamon basil the first year and I simmered the scraps. It smelled wonderful!

[@Julie-ci9ve]

My mom would leave some cabbage rolls without the cabbage because I was such a picky kid lol. Our recipe is somewhat different, so I thought I would share. 1 lb meat, 1 cup rice, 1 egg, 1 onion. We cook in tomato soup on the stovetop instead of in the oven.

[@OldeThymeKnits]

Such a hard worker you are! Your family is so lucky to have you and all the special meals you prepare!

[@mybraxtonburns]

Cabbage rolls are my favorite meal.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Such a good cozy meal!

[@bethhelminiak5063]

I make my own tzatziki all the time. It's the best. I like to use freeze-dried dill and let it rehydrate in the yogurt. And I've always shredded and squeezed the liquid out of the cukes. It helps keep your tzatziki from getting watery.

[@aly_b]

Oh. I had missed your channel. Life gets in the way and I hadn't had the chance to watch. So happy to be able to binge watch it tonight. Happy to see you feeling better and looking healthy. Many blessings to you and your family 💕

[@beekind1940]

My Ukranian grandmother (lived in Winnipeg) used to come on the train a couple of times a year to visit us in California. She always made the most delicious cabbage rolls (golabki), pierogis, and borscht for us. Awesome memories.

[@VickiL-t3r]

I truly enjoyed the combo of preservation and food prep! Thanks Kelsey! Vicki

[@sergeb957]

Stuffed cabbage Golubzi we love too and Eggplant spread too

[@erikalouwrens3992]

This was a very enjoyable video, Kelsey! I love your channel!

[@DebBeeman-ir9eu]

Kelsey, loved all your recipes as always they look so good and nutritious! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@annamccosker7878]

Eager to try that bread pudding recipe. My husband's absolute favorite dessert! 😋

[@clotildadcunha633]

I liked all your recipes today Very healthy and nutrition

[@pamwalker6284]

I know you probably don’t remember, but I commented a few videos ago that a heavy burdened branch of one of my Cherokee Purple plants had broken off. I’m pleased to let you know that the rest of the plant survived and is busy bearing a lot of good tomatoes! Yay!

[@CherylHamburger]

Kelsey, you are amazing! Love your channel and your passion! Thank you!

[@dflor50]

Yum! Everything looks so delicious.

[@donnacobb701]

Kelsey your videos are ALWAYS my Friday joy!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

You’re so sweet! Glad to brighten your day ❤️❤️❤️

[@helenswanson1403]

I have gotten a teaspoon tea strainer. Fill it with loose tea. It makes one cup. I find the tea can be made to my liking without having to strain it.

[@sharonvik7643]

Thanks for sharing your processes and recipes! I grew up with my Mom making Golumpkis! It was such a wonderful part of my childhood! 🙂

[@ymwyoyo-p6w]

Hi Kelsey from DownUnder. Gee, I just luv watching u cook some delicious and appetising meals. Can't wait to try quite a few of them. Keep up the good work.

[@jscasecase471]

Unfortunately we do not have a garden anymore but our first plan for the morning is going to our local Mennonite farm and picking tomatoes, green beans, and peppers. Making 2 varieties of spaghetti sauce and canning up green beans. Haven’t done either since we had our own garden. Excited to get it on the shelf.

[@lillypatience]

Blasphemy! 😂 I love my shishito peppers! Costco sells them for $6/lb and I just harvested 2 lbs from two plants. I recently did a quick pickle with them and onions and lemon cukes. Delish! Normally I blister like you did in the video. They’re not as hot as other peppers like jalapenos and make an excellent substitution. 😊

[@conniesprowl-yc4zb]

You can also put the head of cabbage in the microwave a few minutes at a time, taking the leaves off little at a time.

[@crazybeccarf4222]

I really love all your videos. You are very inspiring, and I look forward to more videos all the time. tysm! New subscriber. 😊

[@DoloresMoses]

Hi Kelsey, thanks for another wonderful video! I'm curious if you found the eggplant bitter?

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Oh no! It’s been going for 3 days now, I’ll let you know soon!

[@mountainsandmayhem739]

I’m about to try sweet potato kvass soon. I love beets. I also LOVE kombucha so I figured these might be up my alley

Hi how are you love your videos. I was just wondering do your baby's eat these dinners just curious wanted to try these for my boys. Again thank you 😊

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

They do! I always encourage them to take a bite of something new, they usually end up eating it all! I do keep some easy staples around like chicken nuggets just in case, I never force something they truly don’t like.

[@Just-Nikki]

I will watch in a lil bit 😀 the thumbnail is beautiful!

Yay! Thank you ☺️

[@cynthiafisher9907]

You do say the first t in tzatziki. It’s almost like saying st blended together. Tomatillo is pronounced with a long o, like toe ma tee oh.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Ok! My ear didn’t pick that up when listening to pronunciations!
