You’re an awesome mom. Blessings

[@RowesRising]

Thank you Rita🌻

[@lisaeldridge5269]

Great video! You seem to be in a groove now with all of your different food sensitivities. I’m so glad! 😊

[@RowesRising]

Thank you Lisa. Hagen is doing much better and tolerating all the foods again. We saw an allergist that assured us it was the bad stomach virus that caused the food sensitivity for a few months. 😅

Such a lot of inspiration! Thank you!😊

KATIE TIME 🎉GM beautiful lady! Youre making me hungry lol I love the premixed spices from Redmond's! Very handy and healthy!

[@RowesRising]

Thank you for watching Kacy🥰

[@heathermoses6183]

Great job Mama! I can't wait to try lentil porridge! 😋

[@shervin6711]

Umm, yes please! This sounds SO GOOD👍

[@katescaringcorner6765]

I’m tickled pink that you’re going to demo restoration of cast iron skillets! I have a few that I would love to be using and I know the can be restored but I don’t know how to do it. Can not wait, Katie! Thank you so much 🙏🏼

[@RowesRising]

I’m excited to share it with you!!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Hi Katie. Hi Torsten, you made my day saying hi to me. I loved the long video. You wore me out. Great meals. You are the greatest mom. I hope school is going well and everyone is adjusting well. Love the Rowes.

I’m so glad Amy!!

[@zoieangel1234]

Hi Katie, Zoanne here, I saw you make the breakfast bread casserole one other time and now I make it often with my left over bread. Love it, it reminds me of stuffing which I love.

[@RowesRising]

It’s so yummy! I wish I could eat it. I sure do miss bread. Thank you for watching!!

[@Mel-vu9ss]

The porridge looks delish!! I think I’m going to give it a try.

[@RowesRising]

Oatmeal amplified- tasty tasty!! I never would have thought to make porridge with lentils if it weren’t for a subscriber commenting about it🌻👩🏽‍🍳

[@Mel-vu9ss]

@@RowesRising I don’t have dates but will just try without. About how long would you say they cook for? If you said I missed it.

[@RowesRising]

Oops!! 15-20 minutes to simmer. You can taste to be sure the lentils are thoroughly cooked at 15 min.

[@Mel-vu9ss]

@@RowesRising thank you Katie. I appreciate all you do.

[@RowesRising]

You can add any dried or fresh fruit. Diced apples would be nice cooked in it.

[@lynettemunson7953]

Easy chicken in instant pot... just cover with water, maybe a splash of sherry or some, 6 or 7 tsp salt and whatever else you feel like (onion, garlic, cumin, etc..). Turn on manual, high for 0, yes zero. After done let sit until instant therm says done. 4 lb - 25 min, 5-6 lb 35ish minutes. You get 2 quarts of stock. Then can make more once you debone the chicken. 😊

[@RowesRising]

Thank you Lynette!! Is that a newer instant pot feature? Mine is 8 years old😅

[@shervin6711]

Interesting, I might try it! I feel lost when it comes to the instapot. Unless I am making chicken bone broth, or yogurt.

[@kathybridges3343]

Really great and informative video! Thank you ❤. You are a cutie soccer mom ❤

I would love to learn how to make a gluten free homemade loaf that is actually nutritious and taste good.

[@breandalynmeal1808]

Yes please. I have celiac and still eat little gluten free bread. I don't trust the store bought loafs. Please if anyone knows a clean, recipe for gluten free homemade bread!

[@sarahm9589]

There's a really interesting group of people who live in Siberia called the Yakut who mainly survive off of meat and dairy products because of how cold the climate is and how remote they live. You talking about the elk reminded me of them.

[@BootsandBountyHomestead]

Oh nice! And I bet they are one of those BLUE areas too!

[@RowesRising]

Blue zones is a hoax- look into it- they were refugees that fled to those areas and made up fake birth certificates- supposedly.

[@cherylcranford8908]

Dip is beautiful because homemade is not perfect and that's always okay it's still so edible ❤😎

An easy way to add protein to porridge is eggs! I add 2 per bowl. So if I’m making 3 servings grits, I add 6 eggs. 6 svgs oatmeal, a dozen eggs. It takes a bit to get used to if ur used to thin porridges. I started early with mine (I used to stir in hardboiled eggs to their porridges from the start as I could use only the yolk at first and besides I didn’t realize I could just cook them in with the grains!) but evenso I used only 1 then 1 1/2 eggs per bowl then finally 2. It’s breakfast in a bowl with a glass of kefir or pour milk on it. My kids didn’t want milk on it by age 8 but I used to pour about half their cups of milk on their bowls. Less to spill from their cups lol

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

A reason for eggs is save the lentils for lunch. And a way to have eggs every single day. U don’t know it on porridge days or smoothie days (I put eggs in smoothies, never protein powder, plus I use milk not juice) so the other few days can always be straight up eggs, no need to make quiche etc. just scramble or fry eggs with toast or potatoes or plantains. Plantains fried, are like crack, beware! Bake potatoes till mostly fine night before and fridge overnight. Cut up for breakfast to finish with frying before adding eggs to scramble in. Or roast a sheet pan full of cut up potatoes and add to eggs when scrambling. They just need to heat thru.

[@RowesRising]

I love using leftover baked potatoes in the fridge overnight and fry them in the morning- so efficient! Thank you for those suggestions. My daughter is on an elimination diet and cannot have any kind of eggs- so we are finding other ways for her to get protein.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

I bought the bag of fresh brussels (cut them in half) and the bag of fresh broccoli (cut most in half) at Costco and roasted them with s&p, sausage grease and butter (we had little grease). It’s probably a good bit cheaper than the frozen. I found my dying radishes in the fridge after and should have added them! After it’s done cooking, I douse with vinegar and we can eat these puppies cold out of the fridge! Roasted veggies are just soooo flavorful they’re good cold. I did two sheet trays so they roast not steam. Someday I’ll be all trendy n do meat at same time but there’s never enough room for meat too… I do a full pan of meat when I make it lol We ve got 3 adults, 5 huuuungry teens and 2-3 kids here so we go thru food! Idk know how but they eat 4c dry rice at 1 meal…

[@RowesRising]

I love roasted veg cold. I typically buy fresh and do like you but for this busy season we are in- 4 kids in sports😅 I’m cutting a few corners some days. We are almost going through the 3 cups of dry rice now- and that’s with only 5 of us eating it. I always have enough left for my egg scramble the next day- almost time to go up a cup!!

I need to attend your homeschool for awhile! Here is a treat that might replace ice cream and is inexpensive and I think delicious. 1 banana 1 cup milk of choice 2 T unsweetened cocoa powder 1 t vanilla 2 chopped dates or other sweetener 2 cups ice Blend in your vitamix and enjoy I added a little avocado oil to make it a little creamier.

[@RowesRising]

That sounds delicious!! No avocado here as my daughter is allergic. Aaron makes really good nice cream- the kids always prefer his smoothies. 🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@shervin6711]

This reminds me of a Weight Watchers cookie recipe. Eggs/banna oats, choc chips... Baked..

[@googles111]

On the sourdough, how do you know how much to leave in the jar? You scooped some out and then left some in the jar. Do you have to measure that amount you leave in the jar or you just make sure there is a little in there and then add flour and water?

[@RowesRising]

Great question! Equal parts. I eye ball it and in 7 years it’s been good enough to do so 🌻🌻🌻

[@minnamae25]

Yaaay, you have them back to homeschooling? ❤❤❤ Ever tried making bread with maple syrup instead of sugar? Try it just once and see if you like it. I have sworn off sugar because it does so many bad things to me and I'm sick of feeling like poopy kah kah all the time. Plus I'm sick of being overweight. BUT I have substituted sugar with maple syrup or honey for year's now, so some of my healthier snacks and cookies are a little bit better for me. We have an abundance of maple syrup and honey so using it makes sense for us. 😅 And Happy Tuesday to y'all.

[@minnamae25]

Hahahaaha, losing stuff is also what i do best. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@RowesRising]

Yes Homeschooling again-God showed us the way reminding us why we chose to in the beginning. Everyone is thriving!! I used to make bread with honey- and I use honey to make yummy sourdough English muffins. I should try maple syrup for them. 😅 It’s only the kids that eat bread now. Thank you for being here Minna!! 🌻

[@minnamae25]

@@RowesRising I'm so glad they're back to homeschooling. I asked my 15 yr old of he had the choice, would you go back to school or keep homeschooling. He chose homeschooling, but he definitely needs to get into some sort of sport, or get a job where he is able to socialize more.

[@RowesRising]

They were sad to leave their friends. Soccer and having siblings helps. We were going to join some homeschool groups- it’s not working out as we always have appointments the days they meet- but I will plan better- just can’t reschedule appointments right now.

[@minnamae25]

@@RowesRising we have a christian camp that has homeschooling kid's get together once a week, but they require that the parents stick around and me having 2 little ones kinda puts a kink in that. I don't like going somewhere for hours without my husband to help out with these 2.

[@super_ted_7371]

The oatmeal is cooked, why would you need to wash it...? Forgive my ignorance 😊

[@RowesRising]

Most of our food should be washed for a variety of reasons.

[@kittyrichards9915]

When you say you are having a cheat meal, you mean for your carnivore diet I presume. I didn't see any gluten that would be harmful with your celiac.

[@RowesRising]

It’s the sriracha- causes me inflammation. And the nuts and seeds 😅 I have 3 autoimmune diseases and I have chronic pain which is much less pain when I eliminate certain foods- I suffer less. I used to race motocross and was into other extreme sports- I have old injuries that flare up with certain foods. Herniated discs in my bak and a torn up shoulder- I’m much happier with my strict diet but- I LoVE food so I eat things that hurt me sometimes for fun. 😆

[@lindseymiller8165]

Why did you decide to pull them to homeschool?

[@RowesRising]

Well, there isn’t an easy answer in a public space. Feel free to message me on Instagram or email me and I’d be happy to share privately. We are much happier and the kids are thriving!! 🌻🌻🌻

[@mustwereallydothis]

Did your daughter get bitten by one of those ticks that make some people develop an allergy to red meat?

[@RowesRising]

Her doctor says where we live that is nearly impossible- however we have visited Virginia where there are those infected ticks. We were just at the allergist yesterday and he says the hives she was experiencing were directly related to her stomach bug, not true allergies from a scientific standpoint, and she should be fine to reintroduce foods one at a time. She is intolerant according to a blood test we did. However she is not allergic. So she may have some discomfort with foods or not.

[@mustwereallydothis]

@Rowes Rising It must have been quite the relief when they told you all that. That tick bite meat allergy sounds like quite the annoyance, to say the least.
