I was wondering when Babka was going to make an appearance: "Hey, Dad! You having breakfast? I like breakfast!"

[@epichomesteading]

She loved it!

[@lulubellz]

He's always giving daddy energy 😂 Daddy tomato, pasta daddy, and the list goes on. The witty banter between you two is always amazing.

[@epichomesteading]

😂

[@generalsmedleybutler340]

Jacques should have known that Kevin suddenly popping out of the garden is inevitable.

How great to be able to eat what you’ve grown. The homestead looks so lush and prolific… feeling immense garden envy here!😍

[@entonberg3945]

Man i love this channel, my favourite by far. I thought since i live in Denmark i couldnt really grow anything, but you guys introduced me to the hardiness zones and gave me a whole bunch of inspiration. Turns out that since I live close to the coast in southern Denmark I'm actually in a zone 8, which has allowed me to grow beautiful tomatoes and even planting a yuzu lemon tree in my backyard. Amazing stuff guys, you might not get many views and i don't even get how you keep the channels going, but keep it up and keep growing!

[@epichomesteading]

No way! So glad to hear this

[@ozywomandius2290]

There’s something magical about eating from your garden- all the things you happen to be growing at any given time tend to taste great together in whatever combo you choose.

[@catiepower3550]

I think it’s wonderful that you donate to your local food pantry. I feel that is something every gardener should do. Homestead for yourself for sure but it doesn’t take up much space to plant a few things to share with the community. We should help each other.

[@epichomesteading]

I totally agree!

[@aimeevanlandingham3844]

You guys are seriously making me want to grow shishito peppers next year.

[@Ma1ingo]

My first time growing peppers and I choose shishito. I have.. SO MANY lol I would definately recommend!

[@Hollenross]

You should! They’re my kid’s and dogs’ favorite vegetable. Prolific as heck too.

[@IPursuePeppers-CTH]

As a chili head, next year, grow more peppers in general 🫡

[@kathleenwhite9741]

It's a wonderful thing to be able to feed yourself, but an absolutely beautiful thing to help feed others. Thank you for donating your extras to the neighborhood and food pantries. God bless. 💖🙏👍

[@puggirl415]

Make fermented hot sauce with your super hot peppers. Use a ratio that works for you. I grow a hot rocoto pepper tree in my garden. I use a ratio of 1/3 super hot peppers and 2/3 mild to sweet peppers. De-seed and cut into 1-2" pieces. Make 1 quart of boiling filtered or distilled water. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and stir to dissolve. Add to 1 quart of cold filtered or distilled water. Mix well. Add cut peppers to fermenting jars.When the water is less than 115º pour over the peppers in the jars. Close and ferment for 7-14 days depending on how hot it is. If above 72º check ferment after 5-7 days. When finished drain fermenting liquid into a jar and use a stick blender to blend the peppers into a sauce. Add some of the fermenting liquid back in if needed to loosen up the sauce as you blend it. Store in the fridge or freeze excess. This lasts a long time in the fridge. Don't throw out the extra fermentation liquid. You can use a bit of it to start a new batch of sauce but also just store it in the fridge and drink a shot anytime for a probiotic boost. I add the salty spicy fermentation liquid to dishes I want a little heat on but don't want to see the bright red sauce on the food. This is the best way I've found to use up the hundreds of hot peppers we get every year. I freeze it so I can have it in the off season. Usually get enough to last until next years harvest.

[@lonismith3002]

You guys are the most hilarious college frat guys when together. I can’t stop laughing. PS. I learned NOT to put cherry tomatoes in my pocket either. Lol

[@nancyml4617]

Growing up, we always had a great garden, chickens, and each year Mom & Dad would buy a quarter side of beef and a whole pig that would go into the freezer. As produce or fruit would come into season and we'd get a glut of one particular thing and not enough time to put it up, that's what we would have for dinner. Corn pie, strawberry shortcake, potato soup...nothing was off the table (pun intended). My favorite was when tart cherries came in and clafouti was dinner that day!

[@judysocal8682]

So lucky you can walk out your door and harvest. I have a 15 minute drive to the community garden and then back .

[@Ret2Play]

New gardener here. Would love to reach this level of gardening for sure! I started late this spring with jalapeño and bell peppers, indeterminate tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries, and herbs all in containers with the intention to do just this, cook a breakfast omelette 😀! Great motivational video for me 👍🏾

[@stevenlehmann4432]

The addition of the Blackstone to the garden is EPIC!

[@reshabriella]

Great video and excellent breakfast, guys! I've been trying to add what I grow to my eggs when I make breakfast. So far I have used scallions, bodi (yardlong beans), bell peppers and tomatoes. Pimento peppers will be added to the list soon.

[@ozywomandius2290]

Mmm, and chives with eggs 🤌🏼

[@reshabriella]

@@ozywomandius2290 you got that right!

[@normandieillustration]

I really appreciate being able to see what happens with your produce after harvest. There’s certainly some vegetables that I could plant but don’t know what I would do with them, like kohlrabi? I would love epic homestead recipes for both regular and less main stream veggies 😋

[@brianmoore4299]

I've somehow not been getting your videos like I used to. Missed a bunch over the summer. Glad they are starting to pop back up. Only now I'm behind. Great video. Love watching your vids. Such a blessing when you can share your produce with those in need. Bless you both.

[@adrianneporta8032]

Now I want an omelet 🤤 I'm loving the direction that this channel is going, the banter is so funny I could watch you guys all day 😅

[@hazelmartin7911]

Your friendship always puts me in a better mood.

[@laurieslifeessentials]

Love this! I feel like you guys have arrived and are finally living the gardening/homesteading dream!

[@derekdimeglio5951]

Anybody can go to the store, get ingredients, chop it up and make breakfast... You literally just pulled it out and grilled it in your yard... that's amazing

[@Chunk_Kelly]

Nothing beats a homegrown meal! This time of year I'm catching a lot of king salmon and it's so nice to cook up with all our fresh veggies and herbs. My new birdies beds I got from you folks are full of stuff that goes great with wild caught Alaskan salmon!

[@epichomesteading]

Love king salmon!

[@Chunk_Kelly]

@@epichomesteading I sometimes catch one on my lunch break at work. I just cast off the back of the barge that is our kelp nursery. Alaska rules.

[@monicadamm9912]

I've been watching your videos for quite a while now and just subscribed! I find peppers very fun to grow, but then, I am inundated with peppers and have a hard time finding things to do with them. This year, I am letting them mature, then dehydrating them and making powder. Thanks for your content! It's fun and educational :)

[@GrowingOrganicTvShow]

Once as a boy I opened the chicken coup to get eggs and a bobcat was sitting on the eggs. Keep that in mind.

[@uppanadam74]

We have the same dream!! Often wanted too open a cafe serving just bacon and eggs with toast and coffee 24/7!! Shift workers will love it!! Sadly I'm too old to do it now!! LOL!!

[@tabrown5226]

If you crack your eggs shells correctly, makes a good seed starter container too. I found crushed eggs shells around anything that attracts slug/snails, keep them off the plants better (a few usually make it thru)

[@candicekellyhomes]

I always have tomatoes of all kinds roasting in the toaster oven. Sliced 1/2 thick or cherry. So sweet and awesome with an olive oil crispy fried egg and some mushrooms. I don’t even miss the toast!

[@Shortcake39553]

I love when you two do garden to table. Very interesting and entertaining. Thanks for sharing guys

[@katherinecornette5315]

I love that you love what you do! Gardening is a challenge but it is so worth it when you can enjoy your harvest. Breakfast looked amazing! Now I want a flat grill!

[@leightontroxel1308]

something i think that would add a lot to the content would be some more close up b-roll shots of the food and vegetables while you’re talking about them!

[@epichomesteading]

On it!

[@leightontroxel1308]

@@epichomesteading great video though👍

[@eklectiktoni]

Kevin, as a treat you might want to try bsf (black soldier fly) grubs for the Epic Chickies too. I've heard they are really tasty to chickens and very protein dense. That breakfast looks fab. 😋

[@ceceliaclapham5424]

Baking the eggshells also helps keep the hens from learning to eat their own eggs! I think they also crumble up better

[@jeaniemario2093]

Excellent video. You two work so well together. This breakfast is one of my favorite ways to use my garden fresh veggies. I've never had a shishito pepper before but after watching your videos that is going to change next year.

[@leatonyaking1]

Fantastic video guys! Love the daddy energy ❣️🤗 my husband and I are designing a out door kitchen by our garden currently.Im definitely going to be getting him a Blackstone.

[@epichomesteading]

They're so awesome

[@terrivance8750]

Guys, Just an FYI--the reason for baking eggshells is not because of mold, but because they can c transmit salmonella. Remember, fowl pass eggs thru a cloaca, the same opening that they pass waste (sorry to gross ya'all out).

[@PhosphorAlchemist]

That sugar rush peach pepper is pretty hot, but between a Serrano and a habanero. Harvest them when they've fully turned color so they're nice and sweet. While they're still green/pale, they're all heat with no other flavor. Hope you like them!

[@ChiChi75169]

OMG, love you two together!!! Thank you for the cooking content on your channel - excellent addition!!

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

Hey Kevin, you shouldn't put unwashed eggs on your tomatoes. There could be cross contamination because there could be poop on the eggs.

[@epichomesteading]

Good call!

[@angelar468]

Always wash your hands after handling the eggs and chickens too so you don’t get sick from salmonella. I really want a lavender Orpington now, I’ve never seen one and little lav is so cute!! 🥰

[@jtatkinson6825]

Love the breakfast collab breakfast boys. Killed it yet again. Not a bad looking omelette either.

[@RolloTonéBrownTown]

That's so neat to see all these elements from individual videos coming together into this. Good call giving the 'shitos some solo griddle time also

[@aimeekitty]

The cheesy music at the end is a nice touch. I cook up my tomatoes with a little olive oil, salt… and separately eggs with some toast.

[@StormWarningMom]

Epic meal you just showed. I may in fact think about making an omelette sometime soon. (I have Fresno peppers coming in and i think that would go good in it)

[@tomokoichi]

‘Tamara’ your shishito variety means ‘treasure’ in Japanese. No wonder you have so many! Def going to try them next year. Love the banter and your videos.

[@miroku1258]

Always love the chill vibes. The humors is a great plus too 🤣

[@Christina-xc7on]

I love the idea of "shopping" for a meal from your garden!!! I hope I can achieve a fraction of what you have at the homestead someday!

[@inezlopez5984]

Great video! More cooking videos pls. I tried store bought shishitos and I didn’t care for them. That omelet looked so good that I will grow some next year and give it another try.

[@jennhoff03]

Whoa! Am I in a Sprouts Natural Market? I thought this was your homestead, Kevin. This looks like a Sprouts Natural Market!

[@epichomesteading]

LOL

[@jackiek4159]

Kevin: "If you wanted breakfast, you know daddy tomatoes got a bounty right here" literally died! 😂

[@coreym.9125]

We started butcher box way back before the pandemic and totally vouch. Never had a bad item from them.

[@epichomesteading]

They're honestly amazing

[@cloverdoll1228]

Y'all should try it with cubed ham, crumbled bacon, or crumbled sausage. Cook up your veg as you did, then add in the crumbled meat and cover with the whipped up eggs. Just scramble it all together. Top with either some shredded cheese or best yet some leftover sausage gravy. It's my favorite breakfast when either I have too many veg trying to spoil in the fridge or when tiny bits of this and that are coming into the house, like in the spring when only 3 pea pods are ready for harvest... or if only a handful of spinach remains before bolting and it's not enough to preserve or make a quiche or whatever you usually make with spinach. Plus each time tastes a little different because the veg combo is always changing.

[@moirad6579]

Please make more videos like this !!!😀😀 after watching this...i went back and watched it again. I never do that. This is such a FUN video to watch. And i need that griddle 😀😀

[@angelar468]

The sugar rush peach peppers actually aren’t all that hot, to me they’re about the same as a jalapeño. They are delicious though, I started growing them last year and they were instantly a family favorite. Really great in fajitas! And for some reason they seem to store better than other varieties, no clue why though 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@epichomesteading]

I'll try em!

[@Pwong808]

It’s 10pm for me and now I want a whole breakfast like yours!

[@Fromwythn]

I'm going to need this to be a weekly feature.

Waiting patiently for the epic outdoor kitchen build episode ❤️🥹

[@majoyap3403]

Watching you guys banter like homies is hilarious and inviting to grow more.

[@froggyfur1954]

Oooo, pickle those shishitos! Super easy and tastes like pepperoncini's. Awesome!

[@GrowingOrganicTvShow]

I did the same in a video recently Shishito and other peppers are incredible sautéed in olive oil. Blister them and add Himalayan salt.

[@FaceEatingOwl]

I've totally put eggs in my pocket 😅🥚When your hands are full 🤷‍♂️ It's when, an hour later, you've forgotten they're there and you sit down or bump into something. He he.

[@mwat4339]

That's awesome! One day I hope to make whole meals from my garden as well! And thanks for the ButcherBox info. I checked it out and for those wondering, they currently do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii and Canada.

[@epichomesteading]

Ah damn! Soon I hope

[@maryram3412]

My favorite meal, breakfast! Yours looked sooo good. One question though, what is coconut cream and where did you buy it?

[@anthyavila9726]

Coconut cream is extracted from mature coconut meat, like coconut milk but with less water. It's a common ingredient in Southeast Asian cooking, so you can find it in an Asian grocery carrying SEA products.

[@StormWarningMom]

I know Trader Joe's carries it. Not sure how Kevin turned it into whipped cream though. Maybe they are two separate items??

[@backwoodsdixiefarm1098]

You guys are so interesting I love how you guys are awesome and fun to watch

[@tanyatanya4704]

Oh man, this is the dream right here! Hoping I can achieve a little bit of this this summer!

[@terry902]

I love to cook my fresh produce on the comal and make soft veggie tacos, nice lunch break! 🫑🥰💕👍

[@mrpants8976]

Add some paprika to the chicken feed for a darker orange yolk, don't use a hot or really smokey version so the yolks don't take on a certain flavor

[@NailahRoberts]

You should have a go at growing your own mushrooms👍

[@dylanslabach]

11:00 - Good on you to donate fresh produce!

[@hadleyxdurmom]

Should have put some of those wine cap mushrooms.

[@christinasheehan4029]

You should do water glassing with the eggs. Great way to preserve them for months.

[@KerriGilpin]

My mouth didn’t stop watering, but when Jacques did the bacon scoop with the omelette I think I made a sound my neighbors probably misinterpreted… good lord.

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

It's a serious mind-shift to look at what is coming out of the garden that day and designing a meal around it to use everything. I can't believe you didn't use some zucchini/squash in that omelet! 😆

[@flourishplantman]

This is my first goal as a gardener. Make a full meal with only homegrown plants. I won't include any sort of animal products because I don't have chickens sadly, but I still want to do this nonetheless.

You could always take up hunting if you want to source your own meat, though it's not aa reliable as buying it and I get not wanting actually be involved in the killing part, but still. Something I do, I hope I can get my garden to the point where all my vegetables are home grown.
