Which new shirt is your favorite? www.b-unlimited.com/collections/roots-and-refuge

[@itsbreellis]

TOMATO!!

[@dixsigns1717]

Dirty Food!!! (smile)

[@hey948]

Tomato’s are better then dinner

[@diannemiller4754]

Tomatoes are better... especially when Miah has no choice to wear it in video...lol so crafty Jess.😀

[@debraflecker151]

Real food is dirty! Love it and just ordered it

[@itsbreellis]

LMAO love how you place the tomato shirt over the video on Miah🤣

[@mudchuk]

Right?!?

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

😂😂😂😂

[@denisekeeth4595]

Hahahaha that made me chuckle too!!! Miah got punked!!!

[@itsbreellis]

Denise Keeth to funny!!

[@itsbreellis]

Jenny Headlee yess!!!

[@deborahlawing2728]

Love your positive attitude. You bring joy to many people. God bless you and your family.

[@RaisingRoosters123]

You can can pears with white grape juice, no sugar added! It’s really tasty!!

[@sassyannie6292]

❤❤ The hash❤❤ Right after we saw this video, my husband wanted it. I didn't have a sweet potato, so I used a russett potato and added a banana pepper. It was so good😋 He wants the Hash again, but this time we picked up a sweet potato. As always, Thank you Jess! Blessings🙏

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

I’m so glad it was a hit! I’m going to have to try the white potato with banana pepper! Yum!

[@lindamickel8545]

Love them both but my favorite is "Real food comes dirty". Sweet Potato hash looks great. Going to try cooking our eggs your way. Do you throw out your egg shells? I rinse mine and save them. When I get a lot I put them in my blender and I have calcium for my garden at no additional cost. I just save it in quart mason jars. Blessings.

[@Soenge10]

The pears are perfect for canning in syrup. Its so delicious served with whippet cream for desert:-)

[@augustagootee6254]

Side I showed this video to my aunt she just did her kitchen similar with gas stove and the big silver air thing above it with similar cabinet color. She loves your kitchen!!!! She still working on her tryijg find a way get tile to put up behind hers.

[@msmaddox2918]

I don’t know why but I was so surprised to see you pull out the Kerrygold butter which made me wonder...can you make your own butter with goat’s milk? The way you cook your eggs is how my Mom cooks her eggs! So easy! The hash looks delicious! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

[@helenbrill2330]

Oh wow, that looks awesome. I now know what else to use my sweet potatoes for, thanks so much for sharing your food ideas.

[@mickeyperry9215]

U should write a cook book! I would totally buy it! Love u girl!

[@kristydickens1283]

We have a similar pear tree in our yard. I can’t wait to hear how your pear butter comes out. I picked a tub full of pears yesterday with the intention of doing something with them this weekend. Maybe pear butter and I found a recipe for Autumn Pear Cranberry Jam in my Ball Complete book.That would make good teacher gifts for my kids this Christmas.

[@kathybuttermore9660]

Looks yummy. I know my crew will like it. Just as you said to put kale microgreens on top, I was thinking chopped kale in the hash and adding it toward the end of cooking to just let it get soft. Killer kitchen!

[@ehmreejohnson]

I love your big and beautiful garden!

[@RiannaNicole]

I think we all need a day with Jess, and family, at their farm, with a good cup of coffee, work, chit chat, and tea at the end. If I could somehow work my way into even part of a day with y’all it’d be beautiful. To just enjoy your presence, even if it’s in the middle of harvest and canning, heck, I’ll help!

[@heatherfoley4945]

Miah is funny. Thanks for hanging out with me. Your pears look nice, maybe you could try making pear vinegar from the skins? Blessings!

[@juliehamilton8455]

Thanks for sharing your sweet potato hash recipe. I’m going to try making it with goat cheese on top.

[@rondacorkhill1654]

One of my girls laid an egg with no shell when she was young. I get the small size, but no shell was a surprise.

[@lindap9079]

The technique you used for the eggs is called "Basted Eggs", I learned it when I was a fry cook. I love both tee shirts

[@denisebrady6858]

Real Food comes Dirty because it explains why my hands are always dirty when I come in from the Garden :):) (hehehe) & yes tomato stained fingers of course as I have eaten far too many while in the garden. Jess what a fabulous breakfast / brunch I am trying that tomorrow morning. Cheers Denise - Australia

[@zukosmom3780]

Love Miah 😂❤️😂 you can put the pears in a brown paper bag to speed up the ripeness

[@teresab4563]

Oh my Oh my! I made your hash tonight. It’s soooooo gooodddd! Thank You

[@sheafilliaux6937]

Those are basted eggs! It’s how my grandpa always made them. It’s the only way I eat eggs ❤️

[@NS-pf2zc]

Wow. 8 inches of rain! My weeds have taken off with the rain, as well as the slugs. They ate up most of my baby broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts I planted out. Bummer. Mmm. ETA: I'm going to have to try that method of cooking eggs. I like the yolks cooked (cracked open too many fertilized and hidden eggs to find partially developed chicks inside as a kid, haha) but my husband likes them they way you describe!

[@crystalmunsell4249]

They are awesome!!

[@maggievice9042]

Hi sweetie! Try making some pear honey. Just add crushed pineapple to the pears. to your jam recipe. It's sooo good

[@nancyd.2881]

Thank you for the recipe! I must try it

[@daniellecomeau2996]

It would be great if you would make v-neck t-shirts as well.

[@raquelperez9655]

You should add some salsa on top of the egg. That would be amazing!!! That's how it do ours for breakfast, except with potatoes. So Good! I'll have to try your recipe. I'll let you know how it turned out. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@neicenn]

Pear honey is awesome. Several good recipes on Pinterest

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Why did "real food comes dirty" make me cry?? 🤣🤣😭😭😍😍

[@Sclathrop09]

Ok, I literally laughed out loud and almost spit my coffee when you pasted that shirt on Miah.🤣🤣

[@emmaricgardson6985]

Looks so good I must try

[@jenniferwarwick5644]

What do you soak the seeds in to get the juice off before you dry them out?

[@threewillowsfarm7779]

I have been left salivating and staring at my apple tree due to the fact I have no onions or sweet potatoes.

[@genevievegreene1595]

I may try that hash as a side. It looks delicious. Miah that tomato shirt looked great on you lol

[@sylviafoust9545]

Love them both! Both are pretty cool. Nice to be using local people.

[@kimkerley4218]

HOP IN THE VLOG BROTHER 😝

[@kiki29073]

Wow, I can't believe you have gone through all those onions and garlic you harvested? I thought I used alot of both. Lol. But, I guess you cook more than I do since you cook breakfast, lunch and dinner and probably snacks and then you canned alot of things that would use both. Miahs salsa probably used alot.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

yeah the salsa really knocked out a bunch of them

[@lauragarmon6969]

Hmmm. I have all the ingredients. I think I know what’s for dinner tonight!

[@djspatriqt2290]

Good Morning Jess, Love the T's. More rain headed your way. I'm a little North of Russellville and we are under flash flood warnings. ⚠️ Stay Safe. Blessings to you all.

[@PatrickPoet]

I like your salt container. I have one that works exactly the same but is slightly less rustic looking. (Actually I have two of them, one for kosher and one for sea salt.) For the viewers: If you only use table salt like Morton's and wonder how people can pick up salt and sprinkle it like the chefs do on the cooking shows, they are using kosher salt. It's fluffier and less dense and the same amount of salt is a lot less salty, and you can pick it up and gesturally sprinkle it on the food like a chef. An even less dense salt is sea salt. A bit of sea salt provides very little saltiness but more minerals. Kosher salt provides more salt but a bit less minerals. Table salt is pure salt. It doesn't provide any minerals at all. You also can't pick it up. It doesn't clump together at all. Don't use it unless a recipe calls for it. You want the theater. You want the minerals. You want the flavor. Default to kosher salt, and use sea salt for finishing where you want pretty crystals of salt on the surface of a dish that give you bursts of saltiness but not too much saltiness. Experiment. Be playful. I love you. I love your food.

[@mickaylao7359]

Runny eggs for life !!! 🥚🥚

[@jillc9882]

I am so excited! I just ordered 3 shirts! I love my rise and shine shirt! That recipe sounds awesome!

[@debbieb.8708]

I don't do that either. Tomatoes are nasty unless they are cook in something.

[@firebranchfarm1615]

I raise Splash, Black and Blue Copper Marans ❤️

[@vblacktravel]

Lol! I was waiting for you to say you are expecting a baby because there is a lot of that going around on the homesteads. I am waiting for that news from sow the land because they need one more.

[@jannashepherd]

We eat SO many onions too, I and don’t cook nearly as much or for as many people as you do... how many does a big family eat per day? 3, 4? That’s a lot of onions!

[@lucasoetens2225]

Can the T-shirt be shipt to Europe. Can’t wait to start my homestead in the VS when i’m done school😁😁😁

[@rachelfrees1268]

Tomatoes are dinner. A white bread sandwich with real Mayo, salt, pepper and thick cut tomatoes is dinner. Never store bought tomatoes, right off the vine tomatoes.🍅

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

Those are awesome T-shirts. And now I’m hungry. 😊

[@tammynevil2422]

How long do I have to wait to dry the seeds?

[@tammiemeadows5278]

Yumm yumm! Delicious. I can't eat my eggs any other way.

[@shepherdessinthefray]

Got a shirt 🙂

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Thank you!

[@maggie_singh9328]

Can I use normal potatoes in this recipe instead of sweet potatoes

[@minnesotagal507]

That looks delicious!!

[@heartsfiregarden6352]

Yum!!! I’ve gotta try that! In Oregon we called that “basted” eggs but when you ask for that at almost any restaurant they ask wtf that means. 🤦🏻‍♀️ lol. I love both shirts SO much!!! I’m ordering the tomatoes now, getting the dirty veggies in a couple weeks. 🤩

[@PromisedJubilee]

Maran eggs! 😍😍😍

[@hopesteadplanting8468]

Is that a cast iron pan or a wok or...? 🤔

[@candacemadsen4843]

DANG! SO so so wanted to purchase both shirts, but can't do the neckline :-[ Are you going to be offering v-necks or scoop neck?

[@stillquestioning...6458]

I feel the same way about the onions and garlic. I try to grow enough for the year too.... but it doesn't seem to come out that way. Next years garden will be totally redone. lol. That's sort of funny for a tshirt. Of COURSE next years garden will be redone. Just like every years garden. We plant ....... over and over..... lol. There you go! Your next Tshirt saying!!!

[@leerussell6801]

Can the pears ,water bath using red hot cinnamon candies in your liquid,, the boys will love it...

[@kimberlym3764]

An idea for next month's t-shirt: you could add "We bless you until next time." in small print on the upper center back of the shirt. This way it would give the message as you depart those grocery store convos. :) P.S. I really love the tomato design!!

[@augustagootee6254]

Love this idea bc u do say this at the end alot and love that

[@emilyprice7246]

That hash looks delicious! I think some sage would go really well with it also.

[@cekfraun]

That's exactly how my dad would cook his fried egg every morning, and he used a little cast iron pan, too. I miss him. Thanks for the memory. And the sweet potato hash recipe! Love from Maine.

[@YT4Me57]

I love the shirts, but I'm like Jeremiah...No to the tomato shirt :-) Here's another idea: "I've got nature all over me!" Remember? LOL

[@elizabethmoldenhauer1940]

Great video! I love your wok pan. Where did you find it???

[@cariepickerell5334]

Can't wait to get my new shirt. My favorite is "Real Food comes Dirty"

[@lynzysconstitutionalcrashc7836]

Jess...I'm sure you remember the saying "God made dirt, and dirt don't hurt" That's what I thought of when you said the new shirt design was "Real food comes dirty" Love it!!

[@jujube2407]

God made dirt...so what could it hurt? Is what i grew up with and thought the same thing !

[@Lourin911]

OMGoodness Jess!!.. 23 yrs ago i craved Home grown tomatoes while preg w my 1st. HAD TO BE HOMEGROWN... Because they had to have that "Tastes like dirt" element. In my mind that marries the 2 designs. Im sure you could come up with a 10 reasons Tomatoes are better than :**** list for a shirt too. ;) love you guys. TY for always blessing...and God Bless you and yours! Lourin - Florida

[@jenniferdawson2536]

As someone who cooks eggs just about daily- I am so trying it this way!!! Thanks!

[@nailswhope]

Love it!! Real Everything Is Dirty!! Kids, house, men & food 💖 Love Who you are doing the Merch passing on the support to deserving ppl!!

[@dixsigns1717]

Totally agree!!!

[@nailswhope]

I love the egg trick I learned it Waiting Tables at Waffle House,I just use an Ice cube instead!

[@NS-pf2zc]

Haha, so true!

[@harvestenthusiast4519]

Soo true 😆🤣

[@Anarchyacresfarmstead]

I made a “Pear Honey” recipe, you can find it on line, it is AMAZING over pancakes or waffles, it creates a syrup and has the diced pears in it.

[@gelwood99]

We had an old pear tree and no one knew what kind it was, maybe 50=years old, the pears are always hard but they make the best pear preserves. The thing is we never ate the pears from it just the pear flavored "syrup". Just peel, slice, and cook the pears with sugar and just enough water to get the pears going. It would turn a golden color and thicken up and was so good on homemade biscuits or pancakes but mostly with biscuits. I was just saying I needed to go to the property and see if the pears are ready cause I have missed having it since my Mom passed.

[@homemadehomestead2985]

I laughed so hard when the t-shirt print showed up over Miah!!

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Hahahaha 💁🏻‍♀️

[@ameliakat9982]

That was rather clever😅

[@dailychaos8741]

Good luck in your fall garden and your home looks so beautiful with the gardens and new kitchen. Hope your evening get cooler and comfortable.

[@brookemiller8677]

Is that the 15 in carbon steel pan you are using?? I’ve been looking for a big pan and wondered what you think if that’s what it is

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

yep by Lodge. it’s amazing

[@jenniferhunt226]

Some advice on the pears- I have a 60 year old pear tree... HUGE harvest every year. Pick them hard, they will ripen in 2 days. Process them before they get too soft, it's a short window! I find that the pears have so much sugar in them! I just cook them down like an apple sauce and don't need to add anything to them. Also, Charles Dowding has a great video on pruning fruit trees.

[@laurielangley2306]

Jess, what kind of skillet did you cook your delicious sweet potato hash in? BTW, I ordered one of your new tee shirts-about real food comes dirty!!!

[@Tracytcb1]

Love the show and love the "food comes dirty" slogan. I'd love it with a hand that looks like me.

[@chickadeetree]

I would love if you did a video on how you clean/season your cast iron pans. I'm pretty new to using cast iron and feel like I'm not doing a good job seasoning it. Or maybe I am cleaning it wrong? Thanks for all your great videos!

[@tinyaussie]

Do you plant your onion from seed or some other way? I’ve not had any luck getting them to bulb either way. I’m in south Florida, not sure if it’s my climate.

[@debbiefleig1301]

Thank you for this recipe. I have never had sweet potato hash, but will be trying this! Also, I love the pan you cooked this in. I have not seen one like it. Any ideas where I might be able to purchase one; and what is it called?

[@HPFKarrie]

can you do Onions in the fall like garlic? they are both bulbs so I assume so - but everyone seems to do spring onions / fall garlic as a majority...

[@janpetersen750]

My mom called those “basted” eggs and it’s my favorite way to cook eggs!

[@susancheer5981]

Mine too

[@przlsc]

Jan Petersen we have a breakfast-lunch cafe (had before COVID) and those are perfect basted eggs 😍

[@marywangen4696]

Jess, what is the pan called that you used for the hash? I would like to get one but dont know what to look for.

[@amberbecerra5779]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@Angel_ReDefined]

Looks like a type of a wok.

[@leslieallen463]

I've been trying to find it too... i thought wok at first but the bottom of hers is bigger than a wok bottom... its cast iron but I havent been able to find it. Definitely has stopped sides... 🤔

[@mamagrandma1261]

Why is it everytime I watch one of your blogs you make me laugh, and just so you know I need all the laughs I can get these days. Love you and your family and you make this grandma smile.

[@alisonm4948]

I just made the hash and it is delicious! Does anyone know what kind of pan she used to cook it?

[@bobbifoster619]

I love the shirt designs. Just ordered the “Real food come dirty”.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

thank you!

[@Schnueggl]

My parents usually just can pears, cut in quarters with a teaspoon of Sugar or so and fill the glass with water. If this cooks long enough while canning it magically becomes the best thing in the world. Like seariously. I hit my siblings when I was younger to get more of this and I don’t regret it to this day, they are so sweet and soft 😍

[@billb8060]

What is the name of the pan you're cooking the hash in?

[@cindybos7939]

I love round-about recipes!!!

[@mattsara2802]

Those shirts are great! I just canned pears for the first time. I used a recipe from my Ball book for a honey syrup and used fresh honey from our bees. They were delicious! I highly recommend it if you get a bunch more!

[@mysideofthemountain719]

Just started my flock this year with an older established flock. Looking forward to spring to add some ladies to add color to my egg basket. Just love going to the box and finding the treasures they leave!!!

[@megsanmakeup]

-stares in jealousy at your wok like pan -stares harder in jealousy at your PAN WALL!!

[@SamN9930]

“ I just love food” 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@4themotherload]

Best quote of 2020 "tomatoes are better than dinner", love that you did that shirt! We cook exactly the same, and I hate giving people a recipe - My measurements are like "do you like onion, than add it" Wish you guys all the best❤️

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

Hop into it...OK now I know how little Ben gets it! Daddy role model.

[@zzzzipy12]

I’m on my way over for some hash!!! I’ll see you in 20 minutes!!! Linda in Sherwood ❤️

[@walshfamilyhomestead3586]

Ordered 4 T-shirts! Yayyy!!! Will you be getting hoodies in one day?

[@jennastewart428]

Ohhh hoodies! Excellent idea as fall and winter approach!👍🏻

[@katherinemikkola8316]

Of course the tomatoes. One, I love it, sorry Miah!!!!!
