Lisa - my 2.5 year old daughter LOVES your cooking videos. She will randomly come up to me and ask “Can we watch the mama cook?”

[@kathybell121]

That is so sweet.

[@malgrace5122]

Every night after the kids go to bed, I tidy up, prep food for the next day and put my kitchen to bed - I always find a video of yours (old or new!) to keep me company while I work, taking care of my home and family, as you care for yours. Thank you for your sweet example and joy!💛

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@veronika2190]

I genuinely enjoyed this video. Please make one of these everytime you clean out your fridge/pantry. We are also an ingredient family! I am a homemaker and enjoy cooking and creating meals for my family:)

[@lisagrafton2529]

Have you tried making a sauerkraut chocolate cake? We made that a lot while growing up. It's absolutely delicious, and the sauerkraut ends up taking on the texture of coconut. No one can tell there is sauerkraut in it. We also made a chocolate mayonnaise cake, that is delicious and super moist. And finally, we made tomato soup cake, with raisins and cloves. We put chocolate frosting on it! One time my sister accidently used whole cloves, and the cake was so spicy, it was not edible, but she learned not to do that again! I grew up in the 60s & 70s, with 3 brothers and 5 sisters, in a house, next to our grandparent's farm. We learned to use ingredients we had, and to search the old recipe books for things to make. 5 of the 6 girls, still enjoy making family recipes, in large quantities. I've learned a lot from watching young mother's, about making more than you need, and freezing a meal, for those days you don't want to cook. I also learned, because my husband loves baked good when they are fresh and warm from the oven, to make a triple batch of cookies, and I freeze most of the dough balls, to pull out later to bake fresh, when we want something sweet, late at night, or when our grandkids come to visit. My grandchildren LOVE to help me in the kitchen. It takes so much longer, and there's always a mess, but it delights my heart to see them excited to help me in the kitchen. My 2-year old granddaughter has become quite the kitchen boss! If I try to help her stir something, she moves my hand and announces, "I DO IT!". You should consider adding a segment of trying very old recipes, like the cakes I mentioned above, that our ancestors lived on. It would be to honor our parents and grandparents, and the wonderful food they managed to make, when they had very little to live on.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

thanks so much for sharing!

[@savannahroserecipes]

We're definitely an ingredient family too partially thanks to you! Since we both work outside the home full-time I make things when I have time so we have some prepared food on hand (I make your sourdough waffle recipe all the time and freeze them and I also make homemade granola weekly for quick breakfasts). Our dream is to buy a homestead and for me to be a homemaker, but for now we are in the process of saving for that!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Love that!

[@petro3441]

[@kaylag9579]

For the Large drawer in the fridge you can get tension rods from dollar store and make dividers length wise and separate your items that way as well.

[@christinamillington2342]

Seriously, I could watch your vlogs all day.

[@tinakercher8768]

Frozen cherries are really good in a chocolate smoothie - it tastes like red velvet cake.

[@catheymarker8676]

Hi Lisa! I would love to see more of this type of video. I recently discovered Jennifer from Three Rivers Homestead and she does a pantry challenge every year. It is fascinating to see how creative one can be with what they have in stock without buying more. Thank you for showing how you've challenged yourself. It has given me lots of great ideas!

[@charlenegates1711]

Off course I love your videos. When I make my baguettes I put the pan of boiling water but I spray my entire oven with water . It really makes for a beautiful bread with a crispy outside.

[@parnellbeth]

The meat thawing pan in the fridge is a game changer. I usually bring five meats in from the freezer and put three in the pan to thaw. Two in the inside freezer. As I use it I replace with a meat from the fridge freezer.

[@GoodPersonTestWebsite]

Recently we ran into a lot of vehicle trouble that ended up taking a lot longer and costing a lot more than we expected. So while we were stuck at home waiting to hear what the final numbers would be, we worked through our pantry and freezer for most of our groceries and it definitely helped work through some old stock so nothing goes bad. Now we've got to work on building our stock back up. 🥰

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Such a relief to have a stock built up to rely on....now you have practice.

[@alisapence3281]

I was raised by older parents who lived through the depression. So, when I cook a meal, we eat on it until it is all gone or I freeze it for another meal at another time. We did not eat out much and when I got married 40 years ago, we did not have the money to eat out every week. When we had our two children, we did not eat out because they never ate all their food. I stayed home for 5 years before going back to work and I cooked alot. I enjoy cooking unless I am in the middle of something else and then I do not want to think about cooking a meal, but everyone gets fed at my house no matter what. I would hate to see anyone leave hungry. Your meals looks so delicious!

[@TJo-vb8tg]

Lisa, today I learned I'm an ingredient Mom/Grandmother. I always called myself a "pantry cook" because I could make a meal out of whatever was in my pantry when my sons were growing up. Very rarely did we break out a recipe from one of our dozens of cook books-loved to read them and have them around "just in case," and I'm sure they influenced my cooking but I hate shopping for recipe meals. You are glowing in this video--:-) When you get my age, you get to glow with the inner furnace called menopause! LoL. Y'all have a great week on the farm and stay warm!

[@user-be6ld6jk6k]

I love that the boys are cooking, too 👏👏👏

[@carmarasmussen8118]

I have a little basket like the one you were putting onions in. I use mine for garlic, onions, a few potatoes and avocados when they are not yet ripe. I keep it on my pantry shelf so I can easily grab these ingredients. Made some roasted potatoes last night with a leftover shallot and half an onion I found in the fridge. I love this way of cooking, helps use up what is just sitting around. 😋

[@veroniecharest7237]

Hello! Thanks for that video! It is a good reminder that we still have so much food even when we think we don’t!… I just wanted to say that milk should not be stored in the fridge door because it is the “hottest” spot in the fridge and it reduces the conservation length. Maybe you could put the sauerkraut in the door instead and put back the milk in the coldest part of the fridge…. Sorry for my English it is not my first language.

[@gilov3]

Youve become a staple in my home 😅...well, your videos, to be more exact! I absolutely LOOOOVE your channel!!

[@ColleenH38]

[@karenbuckner8696]

I do this about once every three months. It is amazing the meals you can come up with. I also want to say I love how you let the kids help in the kitchen. Such valuable memories you are creating.

[@perkinshomestead]

You are my inspiration and hero for homemaking. You actually put me in the mood to clean and do better cleaning!

[@GoodPersonTestWebsite]

Whenever you have something a little iffy (like the freezer burnt bananas) you could always give them to your chickens!

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

We are an Ingredient Family too.👏🏻 I do like to have chicken nuggets on hand for busy, homeschool mornings, and for a quick lunch.🥰

[@ellendunn559]

My beloved mother-in-law (1928-2017) was an ingredient cook, for sure. One family joke is that my father-in-law (who didn’t cook) would open the refrigerator to look for a snack and exclaim, “This fridge is full, but there’s nothing for me to eat!” He would then chuckle and make himself some toast to tide him over.

[@charismaticcrafter3855]

Hi Lisa! I really enjoy your channel. When I was in cooking school our chef instructor told us to add ice to the lower heated pan to create a lot of steam quickly. 🙂

[@HisLilyPrincess]

I learned recently that your onions and potatoes should be separate because the onions will make the potato sprout faster!

I try to keep my refrigerator organized because I believe we actually waste less food. One shelf is for our fresh fruits and veggies, another for small dairy like cottage cheese, yogurt, sour cream, etc. one of our drawers is for eggs, lunch meat, bacon and cheese. It is a daily struggle, though.

Some great ideas! I’m taking this challenge up. My big downfall is usually running out of milk. We drink a lot of it so when I need to get more in I usually just end up restocking anyway. Time for a family cow!

[@carolynoquinn4573]

That was so fun to watch!

[@jkp62]

Love this! We are ready to do a No Spend April and using up items in our freezers, pantry and fridge are used up as much as possible so I can do a deep clean of the kitchen, pantry, 2 fridges and freezers by the end of April and begin fresh for the next year. One of the bulk foods we buy is at potato harvest where we can purchase 50lb bags of potatoes for $10, we clean about 45lbs of potatoes and parboil them, either cube, dice or slice for French fries and then we freeze them on sheet pans and then pack them for 2 people in vacuum seal bags- we can use them for anything requiring potatoes, hash browns, for potatoe soup, fries or just regular mashed potatoes by thawing them out then allowing to drain/fry on a absorbent cotton towel and then cook them per the meal requirement. Menu planning, meal prep and bulk meal freezing has been a staple in our home for almost 30 years of our 40 year marriage because we were and are still full time employees outside the home and like to save $ by doing the menu plan, prep and freeze to stop buying processed foods that are quick to make and to stop the take out habit. Making from scratch is so much better because you can season things to you and your family’s tastes and know it’s so much more nutritional for you! And my kitchen is always cleaned in the evening before bed and ready to go when we wake up.

[@philippapay4352]

By not adding to your supply in not bothering with this week's grocery shopping, is a good way to begin cleaning out the food stores in your home and using up items that remain in plentiful supply. I love having an inter-shelf space that is high enough to put a pot of stew on for reheating later, but not so much later that it should really be repackaged and frozen. What proportion of white vinegar to water do you use for cleaning in the kitchen? I'm not on Tik-Tok, but from what you said it seems we are an ingredient family. We make classic dishes and we make up stuff and we alter recipes from others. And we eat some basic, simple things that we like that way. The corn tortillas with eggs & a lot of veggies mixed in is a great way to get veg into kids.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Great video! I have to make your sausage, sourkraut & apple dinner! The baguetts look wonderful. My next sourdough item to try! I have always read you shouldn't keep whole, unpeeled potatoes, onions and garlic in the fridge. I keep them in 3 stacking baskets (onions on top so they don't make my yellow and sweet potatoes go bad) in my pantry or cool, dim or dark room, but not a fridge.

[@tamara4557]

We had a hard time using up things. So I cleaned it all out recently and tried making as many meals with them as I could with the things that were still good. We do mealplan so I only buy things I know we are going to use. if something is on sale and it keeps a while I'll buy it but after putting it away at home immediately write down a meal we can make with it. I used to simple have a list of things in stock but kept forgetting to look at that so that didn't work for us. The system now really keeps grocery shopping and budget under control, and we don't waste as much as we used to. You can say that is my Nwe Years resolution this year, keeping on top of what we have and use it hahaha. Here many people put apple in their cooked sauerkraut. And some even add banana. We never did that though. Growing up it was cooked sauerkraut with cooked potatoes, smoked sausage and bacon bits. Or my mom would make an casserole with mashed potatoes, browned sausage meat and onions, sauerkraut and bacon bits. Now sometime I make an oven dish for myself that adds roased peppers and pineapple to the sauerkraut. I am trying to make sauerkraut myself for the first time. My last attempt failed as the cabbage got above the water so it molded. Bought some fermenting weights (and a challenge to try and find wide mouth jars that fit the weights) and made a new batch yesterday. Fingers crossed it will work this time. As a kid I loved raw sauerkraut, but nobody at it raw here so people found that really strange. I really have a hard time to get my daughter to drink smoothies. She loves the idea, loves making them but takes just one sip and refuses to drink the whole glass. I think it's a texture thing. For my husband I often make a banana coffee smoothie so I do get through the frozen bananas that way. As well as the instant coffee we bought for a trip.

[@heatherinparis]

@tamara4557 if it IS a textural issue perhaps letting her try eating the smoothie she produced would work. Pour out the smoothie into a glass, let her drink what she will then give her a spoon to try continuing to finish it. This could be tasty, especially if the mixture is on the thick side.
