[@debbieb5861]

After many years homemaking and homesteading, my best advice came from my niece. She said she had to simplify her meals and I decided to give it a try as I have a small farm and homeschool and it was a gamechanger for me! My family raves about my simplified meals as I use more quality ingredients, most of which we raise or grow ourselves or purchase from local farmers and it all takes less time!

[@Mamato3]

Agreed! My young children love and thrive and grow really well on simple, but wholesome healthy meals.

[@godsbuckets]

I’m trying to do this! Can you give me some examples of what you make?

[@Mamato3]

@@godsbuckets well we’re Dutch and we love boiled potatoes, cooked or steamed veggies en organic meat to go with that. I always make a good gravy with butter to pour over the potatoes. And sometimes fry up some mushrooms and unions along with the meat. Sometimes I make a quick curry sauce to go with cauliflower. It’s basically typical Dutch cooking and my kids really enjoy it. It’s really nothing fancy at all 😅🤣.

[@Mamato3]

Also, not sure if you asked me or the initial poster, but I thought I’d answer anyway 🤣

[@louettesommers8594]

The orange chicken looks delicious. Your choice of music is very pleasant 💜 I’m a great grandmother now and watching you and your family makes me wish I could go back and do it all again. Thank you for sharing.

[@MoonFlower52798]

Yes, me too! I was just telling my sister in law that today! I was a young mother of three boys in the 90's/2000's and I had zero interest in natural, healthy or organic living back then. BUT, now that I'm a grandmother of 6, (7, soon!) I have more time to research all the health benefits of natural living, and hopefully implement some of these practices in our everyday lives, even at our (middle) age! I just looked up a local dairy farm and I cannot wait to get some raw milk and other essentials from them!

[@jmwoods1428]

I'm trying the meatballs with mushroom gravy tomorrow. I loved it when she said to cut the veggies up smaller, they will never notice. 😄

[@sandywilliams848]

Works on picky husbands, too!

[@philippapay4352]

It's always helpful to get new ideas for healthy, fast meals made from scratch with fresh products. Thank you so much.

[@simplecityfarm337]

I use rolled oats in my meatball or meatloaf recipe. Works great.

[@liliandaven5380]

The swedish meatballs....its always so interesting to me, as a swede, to see how amaricans always put the meatballs in the gravy!=) that is something we never do in sweden...we have the gravy on the side=)

[@ladybug9171]

That is pretty much all our cuisine 😜😜😜. Our spin on whatever everyone else in the world cooks😜😜😜

[@catharinab8860]

Ha ha I agree, I’m from Sweden as well 🇸🇪 but my grandma actually did her meatballs in gravy so maybe it’s something that used to be done here as well?

[@tamara4557]

My daughter never ate zucchini, even if I put it in meatloaf or something. But recently I have been filling zucchini halves with seasoned burger meat, top with cheese and call it cheeseburger stuffed zucchini and she eats it. Some fries with it (both go in the oven) and it's a quick meal and still healthy despite it sounding like fast food.

[@SuperMotherofChaos]

It all looks amazing, simple and winners with the family! Thanks for the ideas! I will use these ideas this next week. Thank you!!!!

[@catalinaislands5095]

I love this! The meatballs with mushroom gravy looks amazing! 🤤 Thanks, Lisa!

[@veevee111]

Thanks for sharing these recipes, Lisa. I love Swedish meatballs but I add a good splash of Worcestershire sauce for a more meaty flavor to the gravy. Have a great school year.

[@lynsmith2698]

It’s always great getting reminded of recipes you haven’t made for a while. Great video Lisa. 🇨🇦🌷

[@tracybowers8055]

Mmm mmm 😋! All those looked delicious. Yes, simpler is better when you are homeschooling. Blessings!

[@ArrowHillCottage]

I needed this in my life. thank you!

[@molly_frances]

Same here! The timing of this video couldn't be better. Plus these recipes are yum and easy.

[@edenridgefarms]

I think I’m going to make that orange chicken for tonight’s dinner!

[@mrs.walstrom]

Will you share your daily schedule? We’re about to be starting our homeschool, with multiple grades this year and I’d love some ideas on scheduling!

[@stephaniekrewson2954]

Would also like to see a"day in the life" of your husband. My husband is now stay at home dad and we homeschool as well. I think it could encourage him, thank you!

[@GreenOnionVintage]

Just purchased your Fall Meal Plan! Excited to try it out this fall and get some new meal ideas. We also homeschool so this gives me one less thing to have to plan on my own! Thanks!

[@hahna77]

I just learned that everything you used in the beginning is how to make homemade teriyaki sauce, so I'm guessing even easier, would be teriyaki and orange juice. Love these recipes.

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

I love fresh thyme.🌱👏🏻

[@vintagebeliever5023]

Oh my! The meat ball and gravy.. I know what I am making for dinner tonight 🥰

[@Iheart2cook]

My family likes our salmon really well done. It remains moist and tender regardless, so I bake it 5-10 minutes longer than I used to.

[@AP-fr4pl]

Wonderful ideas!! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@rachellebrooke4614]

These meals look amazing!! Definitely going to make these!

[@KrystineStosic]

I love your videos. Thank you for them. I've been watching your channel for a while now (long while) and I notice you don't "meal plan", is the correct? I've noticed you just keep all the regular staples on hand of the food your family eats but no actual plan?? I do this too.

Make butter and use or freeze it if you have a cream surplus. ? So easy and also fun for the older kids whilst they will also learn something.

Gosh they look so good. Especially that last meal. I don’t know how to use cast iron but I want to so badly after watching your videos. Do you usually serve a veggie on the side of the starch?

Hello and Happy Friday. May I ask if you will ever send your older children to school instead of home school?

You have to... if given opportunity, I would be there yesterday 😀

[@judithrae428]

not a fan of the new background music thing, but I feel that way with most channels, it's tricky to like the same style of artists etc. I prefer the cooking sounds or even kid sounds, or no sound in between your talking about what you're cooking and/or why or just chatting about things. But I will still watch cuz your videos are simply great

[@sommerkind6011]

Lecker !

[@michelledomitor1203]

I normally cut the top and put it in my bown without touching the outside.....so many hands have touched the packages. and my counters are usually washed with soap and oven do I do not let food drop onto those surfaces either.....what do u wash with?

[@janiebea100]

Why don’t you use oatmeal or crackers in your meatloaf?

[@kathyprice3248]

The meatballs would be good over egg noodles

[@plizzpook3782]

Why Maple syrup over honey?

Thank you for sharing your comment. My eldest son who is 53 is Quadriplegic lives alone and has caretakers who come in to do everything for him. They seem to never have time to cook anything good. You mentioning your caring for elderly people made me think maybe these great recipes could help my son’s caregivers. Thank you again sweetheart.

[@kindnessmatters4068]

I've had mine over a year now! Used Lisa's recipe 🙂👍🏼🧡

[@samanthameyer8541]

A meatball (or burger or meatloaf) tip that changed the game for me was to season it, pluck off a little blob of it, cook it in a pan and taste it for seasoning. More often than not I add more salt or flavor of some kind after doing that.

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good afternoon Lisa. Looks delicious. There's nothing better than healthy fast food cooked from scratch at home.

[@veronicarios32]

Hi Lisa! Thanks for sharing your recipes. You look different to me might you be pregnant? If you r congratulations

[@BootsandBountyHomestead]

my family always asks me "what's in it" and I tell them just eat it because if I tell ya, you won't eat it 🤣 they get scared then but eat it all up anyways. If they really want to know, I'll tell them after they've eaten it. I usually don't let them in the kitchen when I try to hide something in it, lol. Fabulous ideas!!! I cook the same as you do, always wonderful, simple, and tasty!

@@kaylasharp538 my comment wasn’t about her shape after children. On the other hand your body goes through a lot after 7 children. I just admire her strength, energy, she has so many great skills. She’s an inspiration to me.

[@shanimarais9695]

I just gave Lisa a compliment- lol - how did this escalate to all the negativity? No one mentioned obesity after having children at all. I as a mother myself, just know how hard it can be sometimes to look like before pregnancy. Lol. Gracious! I used to be really big, but with hard work and good diet, I've managed to maintain my current weight, hence, I'd never say anything demeaning to someone who is chubby. I don't think anyone on Lisa's channel would insinuate something negative. I think the negativity may stem from ppl who aren't happy with themselves and that's sad. But again... Lisa has a rocking body, and it takes effort to maintain a healthy diet and to stay active and it's definitely not easy, especially with multiple children. YOU have to accept and be happy with yourself, others opinions shouldn't bother you. @TheRayjay - I totally agree with you 💕 Sending love to all, be they small, medium or large. We all beautiful
