Andrew's Grain-Free Pancakes (makes around 12)
3 large eggs
1/3 cup peanut butter (we use both regular AND sugar-free, both work fine)
2/3 cup coconut flour
scant 1/2 tsp. baking soda
at least 1 cup milk (until the batter looks right)
Mix everything together and cook on a preheated skillet or griddle for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through.
**All these measurements are approximate as the children just kind of "eyeball" the ingredients and toss them in a bowl!**

Oh Abigail I am so happy for you! Today is my 74th birthday and this is a glorious gift you have given me. I will see you someday in heaven.😇

[@fredrose9285]

Happy Birthday, Cindy! Blessings to you---Paige Rose PS - yes, we will all meet each other in heaven one day!

[@IngeLyck]

Happy birthday 🎉 Cindy. I think we all look forward to our home in heaven. Stay safe and may the Lord bless your new year. Blessings from a sister from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@kel70]

​@IngeLyck Your right, I think we all look forward to going home to God in Heaven. I know I can't wait to go and run into Jesus' arms and leave this broken world behind. Plus, the glorious day we'll all be there together.

[@patriciaanglin9543]

Praise the Lord for your sweet little girls salvation. I was 13 when I got saved and now I am 81. God is good 👍🙏🏻❤️

[@ajayfacts81]

Can you please tell what is meant by being saved ? I am from India. First time heard it.

[@laurieg6416]

Congratulations, Abigail! Though I have a different religious practice, I honor anyone who is striving to come closer to God. This was a big, big day for you! ❤

[@laurale8299]

That is so wonderful, Abigail. I am so proud and thankful that you are now my sister in Christ! I was seven when I was saved. Sarah, the blackberry cobbler looks delicious!

[@buckeyedav1]

Congratulations Abigail and Praise The Lord.. Amen. Hope you all will film her baptism such a special occasion. My husband and I's day is coming up the first week of July I am so happy he got baptized before he left this earth and mine was a reaffirming since I hadn't been baptized since I was 12 and at a different faith. So thankful our preacher and our church were willing to do it for us. Our church is Non Denominational. Anna In Ohio

[@kel70]

Once your baptized you're forever baptized. It never leaves you no matter what your faith. If your getting rebaptized calms your heart then, I couldn't be happier for you. Just please don't let anyone tell you it's invalid because your denomination may change. God will never leave you, keep that news close to your heart.

[@lisaharrigan1370]

WOW, Sarah is quite the artist, that poster is so awesome!! Corned Beef and Cabbage, Yum!! If this is the video that someone left the "brat" comment about Rebekah then that is absolutely ridiculous, she didn't do anything to warrant that kind of comment, she was just being a typical 3 yr old and was not interrupting the flow of the video that much, which really proves the nasty commenters agenda! Of course a 3 yr old is going to say what is on her mind at the moment without thought to what is going on! That is what a 3 yr old does, it wasn't disturbing to the video at all!! People with that low of a tolerance for young children should probably find some more adult content to watch! Your channel has always been about You, Shawn and your 7 CHILDREN!! This isn't anything new! That commenter acted like Rebekah threw a tantrum to rival all tantrums, pretty anticlimatic when I see that she did barely anything but be herself, a 3 yr old! That Blackberry Cobbler looks AMAZING!!

[@jamiekendall7245]

Hallelujah Abigail, God bless you the angels in heaven are rejoicing with you ❤

[@fredrose9285]

Yes, that is true! I was saved at 13 and heard the heaven's joyfulness...impossible to describe! So happy for Abigail, that was a BIG day! Take care, Paige Rose

[@michellepowell9341]

Oh, Abigail!! You are SO loved!! I am so happy for you!! Huge hugs, Janice! What a glorious day!! ♥

[@kristivandenberg6339]

Oh Abigail, what a great day. I am so glad you are saved. So happy for you.😊

Hi Kristi! Thanks for being here!! :)

[@kristivandenberg6339]

​@@ozarkfamilyhomesteadyou're welcome. I'm sure you are a proud Mama. I sent you something last week too.

[@patsyrenew1174]

Praise God! Praise God! Abigail, I am so proud of you to have your name written is in the Lamb’s Book of Life. I’ve got chill just thinking of the smile on Jesus’ face. Welcome to the family of Christ.

[@annamoody981]

Oh. I am so happy for you. Salvation is the most important thing!! I have taught Sunday School since I was 16. Praise the Lord for her Salvation.

[@susaningram6360]

Getting Saved is such wonderful news! Does a Momma’s heart good when she knows her child has eternal life! Best news I have heard today!

[@JustAllisonM]

Sarah’s drawing was beautiful, such talent.

[@vickiburris1615]

I have been subbed for a while now. I haven’t commented. I just want to tell Abigail how proud I am of her getting saved. Praise be to God and his goodness. ❤

[@ClaudiaPowers-p9s]

Your videos are balm to my soul as our last month has been beyond trying. Between health issues, job issues and everything in between, we are more than ever grateful for previous planning, provision, community , our faith and friendship! Love you all and please say a prayer for continued discernment. Love your family, content and message!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Congratulations Abigail. The most important decision you will ever make my sister in Christ. Best news I've heard all week.

[@Myfavorites877]

Praise God! ❤ My seven year-old granddaughter recently got saved and baptized too.

[@98849]

Hi from England. I admire even the thought of filming what we ate every day when the children were small. We had a very tight budget in the early years but I learned not to cook planning a meal to last two days as the food always magically disappeared!

[@Jocelynsheyyab]

Its alway a wonderful time an blessing to see someone else comes to luve for God. A really great blessing is when a child gives their live to God. You've got a wonderful family.

[@1977GBH]

Yay🎉 love turning on KZbin to see a new Ozark family video....looking forward to all the great meals and fresh garden veggies 😋 ❤

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thanks for the sweet comment, Georgia!! :)

[@faithlaw8516]

Praise the Lord. Abigail... what a wonderful day for you!! and a wonderful day in Heaven as they rejoice with us on earth for your decision.

Haven't watched the whole thing but rebeccah has such a big personality and it's adorable 😍 and Abigails hair looks so pretty. When Rebecah said but there not all in the car when you guys were getting ready to go. So sweet 💘

[@debihurd9801]

Oh my, the corned beef dish looks delicious!!! I love your clean out the refrigerator meals. We are definitely a leftover family. I love that you show real life happening! By the way I almost forgot. Welcome to the family Abigail 🙌 the angels are rejoicing in heaven 🙏🙏🙏

[@jessicamiller6985]

That's so amazing Abigail 🥰 I was babtised when I was about your age and I remember it so well. God bless you 🙏🏼

[@orfelinavanburen7926]

Congratulations Abigail ! You will Never regret giving your heart ❤ to the Lord at an early age.

[@chandraachtenberg3123]

Abigail you are so precious and you have made the best decision in your life. I was baptized at about your age in the winter at Peace Chapel in Fair Grove Mo. the heater was out in the baptismal and the water was like ice. Lol it’s a sweet memory. I am a grandma now and haven’t been back to Fair Grove in years but growing up in the country there shaped so many things I have taken with me throughout life.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

I appreciate you sharing the memory, Chandra! We baptize outdoors, so I told Abigail that it's a good thing she got saved in the summertime instead of the wintertime! She thought it was funny. :)

[@belindaalderson9341]

Praise God she is saved . Blessed

[@sharlenedegazon-legay9746]

Yeah, it's a video from Ozark's farm. Janice, you finally filmed a whole week of meals . Much appreciated!❤❤❤

I know! I was way overdue, Sharlene! :)

[@melodyspoor3127]

Oh, Abigail! Congratulations on being saved! What a huge thing that is!❤❤❤

[@Susanjoc]

Congratulations to Abigail! Thank you for sharing this, it’s indeed an important occasion. Great she made this decision at her young age. I’m sure you and Shawn are pleased. Sarah, that cobbler looked delicious.

[@caraheart372]

Sarah's picture was so pretty. If you ever decided to sell T shirts, that would make a pretty one! Abigail, how wonderful that you are saved! ❤ There is nothing better than knowing that you belong to the Lord Jesus! I hope you get to read all of these comments and see how happy we all are that you are our "little sister" in Christ now! ❤

[@pattygoshien8103]

Aww praise the lord about Abigail being saved. Shes precious.

[@chrisknisley93]

Yaayy!! For Abigail 🥰. Also love that you put out vegetables (cucumbers) for breakfast in addition to fruit. Enjoyed your video and your adorable family!

[@cathyhibbert8940]

Congratulations to Abigail. Enjoy your videos

[@ChristineMacLennan]

I'm watching this video after watching your live stream yesterday so I was watching it through a different lens. You know what is one of the reasons I watch your videos . . . you aren't forcing your family to be an "influencer family", you allow them to stay off the camera, to go about their daily lives, and to simply be themselves. The camera isn't creating a fake environment. Rebekah is an adorable, inquisitive toddler. She is enjoying her life. I am so sorry that the next few days (after you filmed this video) were so unbelievably hard on you, please don't take the words of a bully to heart or else they really are winning. What they are winning is a true mystery to me as I don't understand the motivations of bullying. Sending lots of positive energy,

[@shirleyharvey3728]

Praise the Lord,welcome to the family Abagail!!!!

[@kathyloomis3107]

Sweet Abigail, this was a super day for you!!!!!

I hope sweet Anna is feeling much better. Hope y'all are enjoying your summer. All of your garden goodies look delish! That blackberry cobbler looks 🤤😋

[@cindyburr9573]

I so enjoy your family sized video. I am very familiar with the Ozark community. I attended Baptist Bible College in Springfield, MO. Beautiful place! Keep the videos coming. I just love ya'll! ❤😊

[@zoeelisabethgayton4876]

I had presumed getting saved and baptised were one and the same, but no? What's the difference? I'm not religious, so I am curious! Many thanks. 😊

[@pamwalker6284]

In my experience, getting Saved is accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and getting baptized is the act of publicly acknowledging that you have done so. I hope this helps…

[@frugalitystartsathome4889]

Your weather must be really good, in the UK wild blackberries are viewed as an early Autumn fruit, not really ready to be picked and eaten until some time in late August or early September. Good to see that you’re getting a decent harvest, though, hopefully a sign of things to come for us, too.

[@suzanneford1571]

I’m the northwest of the us, we won’t get blackberries, peaches, pears etc til late summer early fall

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Really?!? I didn't realize there was that much difference between our climates! Yes, blackberries are typically an early-to-mid summer crop for us. :)

[@suzanneford1571]

@@ozarkfamilyhomestead I’m canning peaches just as school starts on September and we would pick berries when we got off the bus

[@suzanneford1571]

It’s been a very wet cold year this years knit may be later, we lost all of our apple crop to frost this year
