Homestead Kitchen Work ~ Canning Beef & Sweet Potatoes ~ Homemade Sorbet ~ Beef Pot Pie

[@itsallperfectlynormal9805]

You owe no one excuses for how your food looks. The fruit of your work is evident. Trim, healthy, energetic children who happily contribute to the family, home, and community. It's enviable!

[@diannsmith4625]

Agree

[@christineayre796]

Totally agree!!

[@monahardy978]

Your food looks just fine that potpie looked delicious..you can put a small air-conditioner in the basement to keep it cool and moisture down. always a wonderful video. You are a born teacher

[@monicacheah9878]

Yes, trim n slim, no obesity

[@muddyacrefarms]

Absolutely 💯

[@tammieharrison316]

Funny how some look at real food and think it’s ugly, I grew up on real food and think it looks amazing

[@trishapomeroy9251]

The idea of using failed jams and jellies for sorbet is brilliant! Thank you for that tip.

[@threerivershomestead]

You are so welcome!

[@saltandpepper986]

Yes, looked delicious. I have also used them to add a little flavor to sparkling water.

[@greenwichhillhomestead]

my thoughts exactly! love the idea!!

[@cbass2755]

Way to go David….so kind to step and bake for your brothers and sisters birthday. I know he enjoys baking, but to do it for family is wonderful…♥️

[@maryskindacrafty]

I am the youngest of 11 kids. My mom had a dish she would make she called bean goulash. It wasn’t pretty but it was a favorite dish to us kids. I make it for my family til this very day!

[@Hundefan123]

Now we need the recipe, of course 😉

[@susanoswalt1169]

My granny always said the best cakes she ever made were ugly 😂.you brought all kinds of memories flooding in .thank you.❤

[@dianevollmer3651]

My grannies called them stinky cakes

[@Myfavorites877]

My mom said the same thing

[@theresaegbuniwe5808]

Jessica your food is never ugly. It is delicious, homemade goodness made with love for your family. See you next week!

[@delindawilliams3935]

🎉Happy 11th birthday Elizabeth!🥳 I pray that you'll have many more to enjoy, in Jesus' name.🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@elizaC3024]

I absolutely love my Sunday mornings with you Jessica. 😊

[@threerivershomestead]

❤️❤️❤️

[@WellaWally65]

Another wonderful video, Ms. Jessica! Thank you! Ugh! I can smell your delicious Beef Shank Broth and Pot Pie from here.❤ So wise to include your little ones while you cook. I always try to watch your videos with my grandkids, as I teach them what REAL healthy food looks like. NO food coloring. NO preservatives. NO nasty or unhealthy ingredients. The Sorbet made us drool! Lol! Hannah, Benjamin, and John made my day! So cute and precious. Hannah looks so much like both you and Mr. Adam! God bless you all! I hope you can make longer videos! We love watching you!

[@threerivershomestead]

Thank you ❤️

[@elizaC3024]

I absolutely loved the boys clowning around for the camera, so much so, that it had you giggling with the voice over. Oh it brings me back 30+ years to my kitchen table full of toddlers. Thank you for sharing your blessings with us. Benjamin hugging on Hannah is so precious. I too got excited with warm weather and fertilized and pruned fruit trees and bushes, as well as fed my perennial bulbs. The rain on the following day was a gift for my labor. Now we have 2-3 inches of fresh lake effect snow this morning. It's just more water for my fruits and flowers. I will sow peas on St.Patricks day, and hope for an early crop before the heat arrives. 😊

[@faithopeloveful]

Happy Birthday to all the children who are having birthdays!!!🎂🎂🎂

[@cynthiawhitcomb1780]

So appreciated your comment on kitchen gadgets. I have used “gadgets” to simplify my life for years, but there were always people who were simply unkind about it which totally dumbfounded me.

[@jennbama]

My normal post list include you on Sunday morning and the Zimmerman on Saturday morning. Now that's great video content

[@Tia-vj9ox]

Me too!

[@celestejohnson9227]

Love the spring colors you wore while planting. I always look forward to preparing the garden and the promise of a tiny seed.

[@bonnie5601]

Happy Healthy Birthday to Elizabeth and Grace! Have a very Blessed week!

[@catherinecorn2371]

I am Impressed over the amount of broth you got! Wow! I may need to find that roaster. You are right, you can't have "too much" broth. It's so delicious and nutritious. We recently got a sickness in our house and I know bone broth is what helped us recover quickly.

[@DJ-nh6wq]

Start checking the resale shops/sites. Those roasters got crazy expensive! I have 1 from years and years ago and it’s starting to not heat like it used too. So I’m looking into a new one and about fainted at the prices on Amazon.

[@marilynhoops3498]

I hope all of you are safe from the tornado where you live. Prayers and God Bless you.

[@auntiepam5649]

What a wonderful morning with one of my favorite people.

[@WellaWally65]

Two things I love about Sunday morning’s…Church Service at Free Chapel, and Three Rivers Homestead Videos! 💝🙏🏼

[@tinacurtis1580]

I am so glad you don't get political on your channel. I remember you did a Q & A a long time ago and was asked about prepping. You said this is a normal way to provide for your family but Adam was a little more thinking prepping. God bless you and your family.

[@Feddhomestead]

Happiest of birthdays to Elizabeth and Grace!!

[@Dindasayswhynot]

I used your fabulous idea of straining through a dedicated sink strainer, right as we add the broth to the jars. I missed where it nestles down into the funnel. Still worked well, but fixing that next batch. Our Mexican markets sell gorgeous beef shanks. I stock up on them when they are on sale for beautiful broth. I don't waste the meat. It makes great enchiladas, burritos or plain old vegetable beef soup, pot pie, cottage pie, meat sandwiches, empañadas-umm. I need to send Forest Gump home. His coaching has me going.

[@1967netti]

That 'stew beef' makes the most amazing Italian dish - Osso Bucco. And not browning the meat first means you miss out on sooo much flavour

[@threerivershomestead]

Thanks for the tips!

[@marilyncausey9348]

I had osso bucco once at a very nice Italian restaurant. It was truly one of the best things I have ever eaten.

[@tammywest1642]

I've seen a tip of putting a strainer into the crockpot, pushing down on it, and that makes the liquid easier to scoop out and strain it at the same time.

[@threerivershomestead]

Great idea

[@pinschrunner]

Good job getting those children out in the sun, Jessica!!! We are harvesting berries here in Florida 🍓🍓🍓

[@shaianne.d.p]

You’re seriously so inspiring, so uplifting. Thank you for letting God use you. You’re a great Mama and just by watching this I learned so much. I love how you parent & it’s so cool.

[@Casey6478]

I love how Hannah was ironically nodding in agreement with your commentary as she ate her beef pie and again her sorbet. How sweet! Definitely going to try making the sorbet. Have a wonderful week, Jessica!

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Hello, I've just heard that there were some nasty tornadoes in Oho, I pray you're all good!

[@From-the-Boot]

I hope the same….

[@julieschossow9315]

I'd really like to see/know how you started your Meal worm farm.

[@threerivershomestead]

I talked about it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anPQkGenadVnn6s

[@julieschossow9315]

Thank you!

[@daralynnhale1565]

Happy Birthday Elizabeth, Grace, and John!!!!!!

[@aprilhampton6298]

We've been having the same weather in eastern Kentucky. I planted potatoes, onions, carrots, peas, and lettuce in my beds. I also put brassicas in jugs for mini green houses and they are coming up. I planted some tomato, peppers, and a few other things indoors for starts. I've been canning quite a bit because we are getting half a beef this week so I had to clean out the freezer. I plan to start some fruit trees and berries this year. Part of my canning was chicken bone broth. It don't have to be pretty as long as it tastes good. I have a 24yo, 22yo, 3yo, 2yo twins, and a almost 1yo.

[@cbass2755]

I dehydrated potatoes. Then, once dried, I pulverized the potatoes and I use that as a thickening agent. Wow…it works excellent!

[@threerivershomestead]

Great tip!

[@redmapleleaf4617]

That roaster full of beef shanks made me drool! I love beef barley soup and shanks make the best. That roaster full would have cost me well over $100 to buy. Making soup is so much fun and no store-bought stuff compares.

[@julieemig432]

Another wonderful video. Thank you. The best homestead cooking ideas

[@bettybradley8369]

I wish my yard looked like yours. It was 9 degrees last night, and there is 6 inches of snow on my garden. I live in south eastern Idaho.

[@Notable2Nikki]

Love the Cuisanart ice cream maker! So much easier than the ninja creami!

[@wendy3437]

I am using a generator here in Vermont my power has been out sense yesterday. Hannah is growing up so fast!!! The beef 🍖🍖🍖 looked really good and so did the the pot pie and the sorbet. You make real food. You don't buy special ingredients you cook with what you have like normal people do.

[@Just-Nikki]

Lol, Emily’s face at the end daring that candle to flame again 😂

[@Valerie-cz2xz]

I enjoyed watching every bit of the video, I have started some of my seeds inside, it is still too cold here , N W Wales.

[@jessicaproulx7228]

So much love goes into your cooking! It is beautiful to see ❤

[@karenmurray5970]

I love beef shanks. Happy birthday to Elizabeth, Grace and John. The cake looks beautiful Dave. Your children are so organized and happy kids. Great video it’s always nice to see you on Sunday morning. Have a great week it’s snowing in Ontario Canada today.

[@toniatalley1977]

Happy Birthday to all the babies!!! Hope they have very blessed days

[@threerivershomestead]

Thanks so much

[@christinewallace9251]

Beautiful cake; tell David! He’s very talented.

[@Just-Nikki]

Thank you for explaining the cut of beef. We used a different processing vendor this year on the cow we just had processed and they included this cut. I have never received them in previous cows and hadn’t looked up how to use it. I can always use broth and extra canned meat for quick meals. Much appreciated.

[@lailayen765]

Happy birthday to everybody 🥳 that cake looked amazing! Well done, David!

[@raynonabohrer5624]

Don't we love spring. Thank you. For showing what you do to make food stretch. God bless you and your family. I just love seeing the children play. And work. You're a great mother. ❤❤❤

[@debbiejones6964]

I've just started watching your vidios .what a beutiful inspiring family . Debbie from Southampton, United Kingdom ❤

[@iartistdotme]

Well I have a new way to use up my failed jellies! Normally used in yogurt but now I'll make a batch of sorbet - YUM! I love watching these videos, so MUCH.

[@tammynevil7852]

I love the idea of jars and food in out replaced!!!!

[@katestewart1980]

I’d be interested in a clip on freeze dried foods or meals also along with dehydrated if low on ideas I’d love to see content on this

[@16cents561-aka-Cindi-Rice]

I've used a loopha to bathe with for years!

[@onalenoir2248]

Make Ossobucco with the beef shanks. It's an Italian dish and really yummy. It can cook all day and only gets better the longer it is in the roaster!

[@threerivershomestead]

Thanks for the tip!

[@purplechris9480]

Good morning! Snow on ground here this morning.

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

It is 3-15-24 and there eas severe weather ladt night. Praying you all are ok.

[@DollyJohanne]

Thank you for sharing! Loved to spend this afternoon with you guys ❤ Love and blessings from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴

[@tracyzabelle]

I love making a chicken cobbler topped with biscuits as I'm not great at making crust

[@marygreene4027]

Happy 🎉 MOTHERS ❤Day from Ireland. I'm a mum of three boys and I don't know how you do it.

[@CDJMiniRanch]

Happy Birthday to your March babies! Mine were all January babies.

[@TheEGA4421]

Your children are learning life skills so when bad things happen in our country they know how to take care of themselves.

[@miss_mish]

Good Evening from rainy Far North Australia. Wishing you a blessed week. Thank you as always ❤

[@katedecker9442]

Thx Jessica! I was just wondering how to do that shank cut.

[@moomoopo]

When you use good quality ingredients (such as you have) it doesn’t need too much done with it. That’s the best type lol your love for your family & hard work is very inspiring! Makes me want to move more lol love the videos ❤

[@WellaWally65]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ELIZABETH, GRACE AND JOHN! MAY THE LORD BLESS THEM AND KEEP THEM!🎉

[@Just-Nikki]

I just made chia pudding with a jar of failed blueberry jam and some flax milk ( that’s just what I had opened at the time ) and topped it with frozen mango purée. It was beautiful, tasty and quite filling. I love the sorbet idea and I will utilize that for sure!

[@victorenecahill9013]

I too use Arrowroot and I also use potato starch. Works great.

[@cdavid2486]

You have such a sweet family. TY for your videos.

[@LyndaClouse]

I was not able to watch this morning but it gave me a reason to sit and relax. I enjoy your videos so much and always learning something. Thank you

[@SuperMzjames]

Interested in the Meal worm farm!

[@jackienoel2864]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all your children about to turn older!! That cake looked delicious!!!!

[@threerivershomestead]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@poodledaddles1091]

I loved this video! I ruined my first batch of broth this summer with my homegrown celery… it was too strong.I could be a taste tester in your family too!

[@martinritawhyle887]

Hello from New Zealand Jessica. I enjoy watching all your homesteading activities. I really love your dresses. Could you let us all know where you purchase these?

[@glendaharding4884]

Good morning my dear friend, you certainly are a great teacher of all the things!! Happy Birthday Grace!! Have a blessed week!

[@threerivershomestead]

Thank you! You too!

[@carriem7832]

Try putting mashed sweet potatoes in your oatmeal with some brown sugar and apple pie seasoning on top….very tasty

[@threerivershomestead]

Sounds great!

[@saramurillo-garcia2301]

😇♥️🫶🫶♥️😇 such a blessed and beautiful family!!

[@FtJackson88M]

My bday was in the 1st week of March. So happy to see so many bday buddies!

[@Mardi-LovetheLandHomestead]

Pot pie is one of my favourite comfort food. Beautiful tasting panel judges. Food made with love tastes amazing, nothing else matters Jessica.

[@lissyadams6497]

Your food is fantastic and those saying otherwise probably live on cardboard food that only looks great on the box, ha ha. Love your food. I have learned so much about preservation from you. Love watching your family grow too. I think I started watching when Benjamin was the baby. I was so impressed the other week with your daughters' gymnastics. I won my city's championships way back in 1982. God bless you all x

[@threerivershomestead]

😊 thank you

[@dhansonranch]

Great video! You have been busy. I laughed pretty hard at the trumpet potato...that second youngest is quite the card! lol. Made me smile! Happy Birthday to all the kids. Good job on the cake David!

[@paulahensley9583]

I enjoy all of your videos and learn so much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and family with us ❤️

[@gratefultammy]

Really a fantastic video , one of the best I’ve seen of many I’ve watched lately . So much worth thank you

[@threerivershomestead]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@whitestone4401]

Happy Birthday to all! We also had 2 birthdays this week. What a blessed family!

[@williej3831]

Your good always looks great. Don’t listen to those jerks that say otherwise. You are one hard working mama.

[@threerivershomestead]

Thank you so much!

[@MT-US]

You are so inspiring in many ways! I love watching your videos! Happy birthday to all of your kiddos ❤ and I admire so much of what you do and how your kids are full of so many great qualities! Thank you for sharing and have a blessed week!

[@sheliaheverin8822]

My pot pie runs like that, too. I wish it would stay together better....but it still tastes good.

[@jeannamaynard5037]

My grandmother's never cared how the food looked. There was no time for that. However, it was always sooo good! Yours looks like theirs. Thank you for sharing another use for failed jelly. I have been only 30% successful with jelly making. I need to get the Pamona's Pectin.

[@cindyloguirato8435]

When you cook from scratch with healthful ingredients that is the most important no matter the appearance. It’s the pretty cakes and things that look perfect aren’t the most healthy to eat. Jessica you are doing the best thing for your family and inspiring to others. God bless you!!

[@threerivershomestead]

Thank you for the kindness and encouragement ❤️

[@Rosebudd1957]

The pie looked delicious

[@muddyacrefarms]

I bought my MIL and I the canning funnels and strainer from for jars and we both love it. I see you using it!!

[@kelly-annejenner486]

I agree it doesn’t matter too much how it looks so long as it tastes good 👍🏻 the saying work smarter not harder comes to mind when it comes to working and if you’ve got something to make your life easier then definitely use it xx

[@centreeki-librecenter9506]

35 cm of snow tonight and in the morning 😂 can't wait to start the garden! Love my sunday morning with your family. Love your channel ❤️ I listen to it like a podcast on sunday while canning and cleaning and then watch it in the evening lol Have a good week

[@samanthabloggins1775]

Great video !!! Thanks!!❤❤❤

[@lindabrown2170]

Thankyou for a great video. The beef pot pie looked scrumptious.

[@pamelastucker8335]

My food never looks pretty but haven’t got any complaints on taste! You are wise to know what is most important- feeding hungry bellies. Brilliant use of your failed jellies. I may have to look into one of those ice cream makers!

[@teedub1990]

Taiwanese beef noodle soup uses the shank. I think you probably have most the ingredients to make it if you are feeling like trying a new recipe. If you have any orange or tangerines left, save and dry the skins as that is a weird ingredient that is outside the norm for American pantries. It's a great slow cooker soup. I use shirataki noodles in place of the wheat but any noodle will do. Or no noodles is good as well. It's really tasty.

[@Bama_J]

Good morning!

[@stephaniehill655]

As always a great video. And some great looking recipes. Happy birthday to all the March's babies. I just had mine this past week. God's blessing over you all. And thank you

[@donnaowens5936]

Going to try canning more and a ice cream maker great ideas ❤

[@nicolewatters4062]

That beef potpie looked amazing! Now I want to make one. I have recently started canning, and I have potroast canned, so... thank you for all the wonderful inspiration ❤ you are such a blessing to your followers.

[@carolmalko615]

Your kids are so beautiful! Love your videos, Jessica. I always learn something new each week from you. I guess because I am a new homesteader and still have so much to learn, and you are a great teacher! Have a great week with your family.

[@threerivershomestead]

Thank you so much!
