I'll guide you through the easy steps to make this classic dessert always perfect.
Then, we're whipping up a Quick and Easy Stir Fry, ideal for those nights when time is short but you still want something satisfying and healthy. I'll show you how to throw together a tasty meal with whatever you have in the fridge.
Lastly, we're heading outside to check on our sheep and make sure everything is good for lambing. Keeping our farm animals healthy is crucial, and I'll share some tips and tricks for ensuring our sheep are well-cared for.

I don't usually comment but i wanted to tell you how much I admire your love for all your animals. I too am an animal lover. I have always felt you could judge someone's character by the way they treat animals. I love your videos and look forward to each one.

From my Chinese cooking classes, I learned to keep ginger in my refrigerator. What you do is in a covered jar slice the ginger in 1 inch pieces, cover with the ginger with Sherry and store in the fridge. When I need ginger, I take out the amount need it chop it or grate up for the dish. I add more ginger to the jar when it gets low. I also use the Sherry in the stirfry 1 tablespoon at a time replacing as needed.

[@froggy0165]

That's interesting to learn. I don't buy fresh often because couldn't maintain it, so I started grating it into ice tray and toss it in a baggie once frozen

[@wonderingsanna]

@@froggy0165 You cn keep whole chunks of ginger in the freezer and grate it frozen. Ginger gets less "muchy" when grsted frozen so that´s a nice aspect to.

[@lh824]

I'd love to try your poundcake recipe! Two questions for you: 1. You referred to "some" sour cream but did not disclose actual quantity. How much sour cream did you actually use? 2. Did you use sweetened or unsweetened (desicated) coconut? Thank you so much for a lovely recipe!

[@belieftransformation]

This is a wonderful visit today because I love your cooking, animals & the walks around the ranch! Thanks for sharing! Happy birthday to your Mom-in-law🎂 🤗🇨🇦

[@DianneNash-nh5vu]

So happy I found your channel! Starting my ranch build next fall in Smithers and I'm taking notes on all of your wisdom 😊

[@anneke9464]

Love seeing the animals. More animals please🥰

[@debihurd9801]

Funny the little things we catch… thank you for using the back of your knife when scraping the garlic into your bowl. I cringe when people use the blade side of their knife to scrape with. It just destroys the blade edge. Silly thing only people who cook see. Thanks for setting a good example. 👍🔪🧄🥕🥦🫛🫑🍜🥢 So yummy when it can be made at home! Love the care you show your family and your furry family in the coldness of winter time. Thanks for share it with us as well!!!

[@scotserve]

Yes you are definitely in love with your new mixer it shows on your face every time you use it.

[@karentuthill8308]

❤❤❤ ALWAYS enjoy your video's Chelsea! ❤❤❤ I also LOVE the care that you put toward your animals.❤❤❤ You have such a kinder soul.❤❤❤

[@leacazara7819]

I guess you're excited for summer and gardening because of course of the vegetables, but mostly because of the challenge. It gave a new perspective of the benefits of your production.

[@tiffanysongy2071]

I absolutely love your content and have followed for a very long .. I love the shorter videos 😊

[@katiebowen2194]

I love how you love your animals

[@sherry3191]

Heya from Kansas City, Kansas! I love your show ❤

[@lynnloehr1566]

I am really enjoying the way you are doing your pantry challenge. I don't like food waste and it's interesting to see all the creative things you are eating through. That stir fry looks amazing. That was on my menu for this week already, now I really want to make it!

[@naomihartman6623]

Hi Chelsea that stir fry looks soo delicious I can taste it from here I could listen to u all day u have a calming. Voice love how u treat everything with kindness and passion

[@iartistdotme]

Well that meal looks wonderful! I need to try that type of food as I think I would love it. I had tofu one time at a restaurant and it was so good but when I tried it - the recipe I used didn't get the tofu crispy at all - it was just mush and I never tried it again. You have encouraged me to attempt it again, thanks!

[@NanasWorld2007]

i was writing down recipe as you were making it. I got to sour cream and I am thinking that it was or looked like cups please let me know how much . Also ty for telling us how you made the sour cream. could you say how much milk and lemon juice to use to make that also. I am addicted to your channel I have been watching for years love your family and farm

[@Notable2Nikki]

I keep ginger in whole pieces in the freezer and grate it straight from frozen.

[@DoloresMoses]

I do the same.

[@msdebbiep]

Really excited about this year’s garden - maybe because you are craving fresh veggies this month :)

[@brendabrenda413]

If you like fresh ginger, I chop it fine in a food processor then freeze dry it. It works great and I always have it available when I need it.😊

[@1944chevytruck]

Looks yummy!

[@monikajarsch7766]

Dear Chelsea, I can really imagine, that you miss fresh fruit and veggetables. Therefore I wanted to tell you, that our wintersalads are still alive and delicious after a period of -15°C during nighttime. I have them in raised beds with small polytunnels on them. And at that time also a thick layer of snow. I began to experiment with growing salad and veggies during wintertime a few years ago and I am really astonished what one can achieve with a bit of protection. Lamb's lattuce doesn't even need any protection at all, neither does purslane.

[@kaylenerinehart2455]

Your stir fry looks so delicious!

[@bettybenner2392]

Thanks!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you so much!

[@tennagrover6140]

lol. It never fails. If you go outside in the snow, I’m drinking hot chocolate!

[@Gardeningchristine]

I had 1/2 can of corn and some cooked rice to use up, so I threw in some garlic, onion, peanuts, and soy sauce and made fried rice. Nice when leftovers can be more delicious than the first time around.😁

[@anounimouse]

I can see that center post as a huge detriment to folding in the whipped egg whites. I think I'd use another bowl, even though it means one more dish to clean. When the tofu is near its expiration date - Freezing tofu is easy and you can freeze any variety - it doesn't matter if it's silken, firm, or extra-firm. All you have to do is cut the tofu into cubes the size of your choosing, freeze them solid on a baking sheet, and store them in a freezer container until you're ready to defrost and cook.

[@michellebarbour5777]

I love your videos but really, really love to see your face light up when you are outside or with your livestock.You are an amazing cook but I'm not sure that it makes your heart sing?. I'm not sure how many of us followers I speak for but, for me, it would be lovely to watch and learn from the farmstead tasks that you truly love. Outside and animals, if it make you happy :)

[@marvona3531]

Thanks for sharing👍🌸👍🌸👍🌸

[@vivianbeckers2800]

The stir fry looks good!! i am a big fan of tofu. Wishing you a great time with your mother in law.

[@benjo1899]

for fresh veggies you can always do sprouting in a jar

[@teriharman566]

What good timing for this video i have tofu to use up. Love seeing all your animals. Can't wait for the next video

[@KarinCole-bk2sd]

We chose to not got to the store at all either. I feel like that's the real test. Looking forward to your ending video to see where you ended up. Thanks for sharing those adorable sheep mamas with us!

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Beautiful baking!! Projects inside your home are just about wrapped up, so you can totally focus on enjoying your garden!! 🌱🌱🌱💕

[@bcworth444]

That stir fry does look delicious! Thanks for showing what you do with the tofu. Have a great long weekend!

[@christineeckhold6341]

Thanks for another great video 👍😊

[@myrrhidian3166]

I do hope your sheep is doing well! I like my tofu cut into slices, glazed with a homemade teriyaki sauce and baked until it gets crispy. My husband only likes it rolled in corn starch, deep fried and covered in a sauce like general tso's, orange or sweet and sour, like you would get at a Chinese restaurant.

[@robingirven4570]

Your stir fry looks amazing Chelsea! Thank you

[@kari-gs4eq]

I've never cooked tofu before. That was an eye popping amount of seasoning

[@elvatorres1485]

My favorite cake!,,

[@kaybusby7507]

Stir fry looks delicious one of my favorite meals easy and lots of vegetables. I'm doing the pantry challenge too and my shortage is milk but have done well so far. Thank you for sharing

[@2plus2by2]

When I saw the thumbnail, "Is that a lamb? Is she pointing at a lamb? Oh, I hope it's a lamb!" Still waiting. Loved the cake recipe, might give it a whirl.

[@herbal_patty]

My sheep stopped eating early in her pregnancy. I was giving her the propylene glycol twice a day for 3 weeks

[@MorganGibson-TN]

Just love watching the canning it gives me for other canning ideas. But I love your 1 gallon square sugar jars. They are square with rounded sides. Which I have been looking for. U had sugar in it with large plastic red lids. What are the jar brands, I have been searching on Amazon for them!!!

[@BeverlySmithJohnson]

Another great video❣️

[@carolkantner1770]

The stir fry looks good even the tofo

[@wonderingsanna]

Hi! Do you have a recipe on the stirfry saus? And what did you put on your tofu? It is always nice to se how others do and get inspired.

[@lh824]

Here's the recipe as gleaned from demo and much appreciated response to my questions ❤ Ingredients: 2 cups flour 1/4 tsp baking soda 1 cup (1/2 lb) butter, room temp (I am assuming salted butter since salt is not included in recipe) 4 eggs, separated & at room temp 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup sour cream 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup coconut (sweetened or unsweetened) 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for egg whites) Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 300°F 2. Cream butter and sugar. 3. Add egg yolks, one at a time. 4. Add coconut 5. Add vanilla 6. Add flour & baking soda mixture 6. Beat egg whites until soft peaks. 7. Add remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar & beat until stiff and glossy 8. Fold egg whites into coconut batter 9. Grease a Bundt pan 10. Bake @ 300°F for 1-1/2 hours or until a toothpick comes out clean. (Long cooking time, low temperature because of cake density)

[@andreamortimer2610]

Thank you for taking the time to write it down for the rest of us; much appreciated!💝💝

[@SJC49]

Everything looks delicious as usual. Really nice mixer!😍🇨🇦

[@debraflowers5905]

The stir fry looks so good! I smell it clear in Indiana! I so enjoy it when you show your animals. It will be exciting when lambing begins. ❤ I think i missed the pound cake. Was it good with the coconut?

[@LittleMountainRanch]

So good!

[@rosemariejohnsen9782]

OMG I was going to make this yesterday, but I only had 2 eggs, so I made your oatmeal cookies!

[@lisagrafton2529]

Don't ever apologize for your intuition! Moms, especially, have a good "gut feel",. We just need to listen to it! When one of my son's was young, after a little league game, several families went to get ice cream. He was playing tag with friends, and tripped and fell, and landed on the top of a railroad stake, someone used to stake a tree...YEARS AGO, and never removed it. He got up crying and ran to us, and I knew he should be laying flat on the ground. There was discussion about calling an ambulance, when two mom's, who were nurses said it looked like a scratch and he could probably be fine to go home and we could watch him. The impact was in his upper right quadrant, below his ribs. Long story short, a friend called the ambulance and we got to the Children's ER, and they ran tests, we were told he had a liver laceration all the way across his liver, with another one half way across, and the Drs said they see that kind of injury in car accidents, at 60+ mph! Even if we drove him to the hospital, and he hadn't ridden in an ambulance, the laceration could have split open, and he would have bled to death. I followed my gut, because my husband had recently told me of his dad's brother being in a car accident, and he refused to go to the hospital, and later died from a broken rib that punctured his lung! That story saved my son's life, because looking at my son's injury, he just hand a 1 inch scratch, but it was near a rib, that was over his lung! I often wonder, if my husband's brother hadn't died, if I would have thought it's just a scratch, get up and play??? I think of that often, since it happened when he was 9 years old, and he's now very healthy, very active in the mountains of Colorado, and married, and is 33 years old! Always trust your gut, especially when treating your sheep won't cause any harm!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

That's an amazing story! So glad all was well.

[@catracampolieto8989]

The stir fry looked awesome. I've never wanted to try tofu before. But you made it crispy, I would try it like you cooked it. Pho is really good. Have you ever had it or made it? ❤❤❤

[@FoundThingsandFamilyLegacies]

We didn't start the Pantry Challenge until a week in - only because we were still hosting family - so, we'll go a week into March to wrap it up. We've been incredibly blessed to know we are doing well with our pantry. Yes, we do have an exception of milk and eggs to purchase, but we have local (friends) farms that we can purchase those from.

[@Patricia-np1yv]

[@LaurieShumaker]

Do you have any leftover stirfry to send my way, just kidding. That looked so yummy. I probably wouldn't be able to taste it cause I'm recovering from strep throat. I hope all is well with you and your family. Love & hugs Laurie

[@deborahrutherford5244]

Do you leave the lights on your celery 24/7 until they are big enough to transplant. This is the first year growing it. If you can't answer that's ok. I still love your videos. I have a FD and would love to grow my own.

How did your pound cake turn out?

[@claire-louisemanning3517]

Hi. Great video as always, but, a plea please from a viewer in the United Kingdom. Re. the pound cake, what cups are you using? I ask, as they're not so commonly used here and I understand that US cups (240ml or 8.45 Imperial fluid oinces) are not the same as Canadian cups, which are 250ml (and the same size as the cups I've been able to purchase in the UK). Secondly, I too would like to know the quantity of sour cream stated in the original recipe. Here in the UK, most baking recipes default to UNSALTED butter unless stated otherwise-clarification would be great, as I'd hate to waste the batter by using salted in error, despite ot bring suggested here. Finally-flour. Here, setting aside strong bread flour or other specialist glours we use plain or self raising ( the latter contains some raising agents, albeit you often then add more to achieve e.g. very light sponge). I'm guessing you used what I believe I known in the US as 'all purpose flour' which is we would call plain flour. Sorry for so many questions, but I adore pound cake and would love to be able to make a proper go of this recipe. Many thanks.

[@ka6148]

1/2 cup or 1/2 pound room temp butter (you said both🤔)
