Make a From-Scratch Thanksgiving with me!

[@janiebea100]

You need to get a large electric roaster. You won’t regret it. You will use it for so many things. Your sisters and your families keep growing and all the boys are going to start eating a lot more than they do now.

[@debramarie6715]

An electric roaster oven is a must in our house for the turkey. It frees up the oven. They aren’t expensive and so worth it. The turkey comes out perfect.

[@reconstructingleslie4597]

I need one ! I’m getting a tiny house and don’t have a traditional stove

[@hope.s9947]

I just got one this year! Does it cook pretty close to the oven, temperature wise?

[@kelley8292]

Yes, it does. Anything that will fit inside it, bake like you would in a normal size oven. I use it all year round. In summertime, I put it out in the garage so it doesn’t warm up the house more.

[@kelley8292]

Amen, Debra Marie! Before my turkey roaster days, I lived in Manila. My range (from Italy) was large, but the oven was tiny. The largest pan that fit inside was a 13x9. So, I butchered my turkey and brined the dark meat separate from the white. To roast, I placed the dark meat in one 13x9 and the white meat in another. This worked SO FAST and so marvelously that I have been preparing my holiday turkeys the same way since… 2011! I also heeded the wise advice of famous chef Gordon Ramsey. This frees up your oven and gives plenty of time for preparing the other hot dishes for the meal. Plan to roast the turkey so it is done up to four hours prior to mealtime. When the turkey’s done, remove it from the roaster or oven, and place it inside a covered Dutch oven or lidded casserole that will fit inside a large cooler. Or, you could wrap-wrap-wrap with foil so the entire bird is sealed. Next, wrap the bird or the covered dish in bath towels. Place inside the cooler, and cover with another towel before closing the cooler. This method will keep your turkey hot for up to four hours before serving. Just think of all the hot dishes you can now prepare in the oven now that it’s free!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Great idea! I need to get one!

[@carolynalicea5865]

Your daughter is so adorable! She looks just like you!!!

[@jeannehunter5344]

Your children are so lucky to learn cooking and doing chores from you. Too many kids are raised in chaotic households on fast food bought by exhausted moms coming from outside work. I love watching you calmly going through a work day and still finding energy for sewing etc.

[@carolrodenbeck2381]

Nine months pregnant and cooking Thanksgiving from scratch . . . amazing!! So happy to see Johanna is such a good cook and helper already. She is learning so much from you. Take care.

[@wintergreen1162]

When I was pregnant in 2008, one of the nurses that worked in my obgyn’s office was a surrogate for her daughter. She was in her 50s, and she carried 3 healthy babies full term, never missed a day of work, and had the babies, & 3 days later cooked thanksgiving dinner for the family!

[@wisconsinhomesteader7482]

It's so fun to watch you spend this time in the kitchen with your daughter! You're teaching her a lot and making some sweet memories. It makes me excited for when my daughters are this age :)

[@sharonlievens1076]

Dee

[@cdani9972]

And her sons.

[@rachelhele7827]

I need a daughter to help me out in the kitchen. I don’t have any children. Too late now I’m 58 years old.

[@colinchick2692]

I just cant beleive your energy doing all this when heavily pregnant and still having the patience to have 'helpers' when you are doing it. Bravo!

[@kayemcmullen]

It was like cooking with my own children so many years ago. I’m glad those eyes you have in the back of your head work so well, especially with the little ones around knives. Then towards the end you are joined by the competent older sibling who knows her way around the kitchen. Although as Australians we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, this episode certainly is all about counting your blessings and sharing the joy of family. Thank you Lisa.

[@patriciaelsberry8360]

I am one of nine children and I admire you very much. Your and Luke's calm manner has a great influence on your children and their nature. You seem to take it all in stride as you face each day. An inspiration for sure. God has a plan for each one. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@YT4Me57]

I remember with fondness, my grandmother giving my brother and I a piece of dough to keep our little hands busy while she was rolling out and cutting biscuits. It made me smile to see you do it with your little ones. They're so eager to "help" I know it takes all your patience and wisdom when you are trying to get things done.

[@kyleb.841]

Idk how I missed this last year. Everything looks fantastic! Thank you! ❤

[@agamaanand8968]

It allways amuses me how organic and real your cooking is... i mean that chopping ,the Kids all of it... 🤣 ❤ love

[@GrowingHomeAndGarden]

I’m always interested in how you do day-to-day activities, it’s inspiring! Now a Thanksgiving meal - so happy to have this warm, nutritious inspiration!

[@robynduplooy3039]

Where you find the strength to do it all, astounds me! Well done and congratulations on baba!

[@joyg2383]

Watching you in the kitchen reminds me so much of helping my Mom as a kid. My Mom is 80 now and in great health. I think all of those homemade meals have kept her healthy over the years.

[@annchee1329]

Its so awesome to see your kids getting involved with cooking, and just being part of the videos. Your creativity and just being an amazing MOM is immeasurable.

[@shirleykelly9124]

I use an ice cream scoop to get the seeds out of squash! I just started doing it this way and it’s twice as easy as a spoon!

[@katied2833]

When Johanna grabbed a little piece of the bread 😅 she’s too funny

[@Bourne4Homeschool]

From scratch fried onions for the top of the green bean casserole.... I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF DOING THAT!!! I love that you included your kids in the prep! Everything looks amazingly delicious, as always... thanks for the inspiration!!!

[@cathynorris1946]

Already loving this video & I’m only 2:38 minutes in! 😂. I love how you just work around your children & don’t get flustered. Wish I had been more like that with mine.

[@bonniemcdaniel4224]

It is so relaxing watching you cooking. I love that you have your kids in the kitchen with you instead of shooing them away. They are learning so much and spending time with you, so nice to see that interaction! Love watching your videos :)

[@oldfashionedonpurpose4020]

I just love your recipes and your patience with your children. I like to put a wet towel under my wooden cutting boards so they don’t slide around. Just a tip. Thanks for sharing your life and thoughts with all of us.

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

I do the same. Works every time and much safer than a sliding cutting board while using a sharp knife.

[@KristenKing-]

Oooh thanks for that tip! :)

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Soooo many people have said this.

[@cindyb8775]

my first time seeing this tip that I remember. thanks for sharing. I watch every one of Lisa's videos. thx again :-)

[@susansmith493]

I admire Lisa for so many things .... but using that cutting board, half hanging off the edge of the counter slipping and sliding all over while wielding a large sharp knife in every cooking video drives me crazy. It does seem to be her only flaw though. :)

[@bettypecoraro8104]

Always so nice to have help in the kitchen, and by the way, I really think you should have classes on raising children. Often, if we don’t come from a large family, we just don’t really know how to raise strong, independent, self reliant children. Good job Mom.

[@MrFredstt]

The patience with your kids is inspiring

[@SuperBettyboop40]

Ty for this ! My family always have Thanksgiving at my parents and my sister 's house, I'm in charge of salads and desserts. My Dad taught me how to cook and I always loved learning new recipes too. I envy you in a good way because you have that big kitchen to cook in . 😁

[@karenhummel49]

I never made it to 9 months with my daughter! You're amazing to be able to do all the work so close to due date. You have such an awesome helper. Congratulations on baby. Delicious recipes 😋

[@tearosita8869]

Absolutely loving the little one straight up chomping on raw sourdough 😂 so cute!

[@frometernity87]

I’m so incredibly excited at the free Thanksgiving pdf! My life has been so positively influenced by Lisa to consume more healthy food and I find this a mentally healthy way of life where one can eat healthy food without obsessing about all these random diets and workouts. I made her chicken pot pie recently (it’s a MUST TRY) and for this Thanksgiving I’ve got my shopping list prepped to make her cranberry sauce and her green bean casserole! I’m unbelievably excited and I feel this channel has been a health changer for me and my family to attain better health without obsessing over food in an unhealthy way! I also love how nothing is said judgmentally. She just shares her experience and wisdom! Watch her podcasts too (another channel of hers well worth listening too) if you get a chance… especially her one on decreasing time on special media. I literally have an Apple Watch now because of her, because I can’t do any media on it but I can still get calls and texts. Anyway, I digress, but long story short is that this is such wholesome content and if you start to implement things little by little as you can you will truly find your life positively impacted by Lisa’s channel!

[@eileenkillen1481]

What a great little helper Hannah is, she's learning amazing life skills from her Momma that will be like 2nd nature to her in yrs to come. Tfs busy Momma. 🙏❤️🇮🇪

[@cindylatchaw4176]

I love how comfortable Hannah is in the kitchen at her young age! Your loaf of bread is beautiful, and I love the crunching sound when you sliced it. Congrats on the addition of sweet Theo to your beautiful family! 💙

[@joyandson1]

Thank you for doing all the EXTRA work of putting together the videos for when you are resting with Theo (cute name). Here you are still blessing your subscribers even during your recovery. May the Lord bless you as you rest and enjoy that little guy.

[@thechristinadiaries9428]

Loved watching your daughter help you out she did an amazing job! Also enjoyed the music you chose 😉❤️hope all is well with the new baby

[@noglutenzone]

We always cook Thanksgiving from scratch. Well most of our cooking is from scratch but definitely Thanksgiving! From scratch cooking just tastes soooo much better!! And it’s so much healthier.

[@judysonger814]

That green bean casserole is inspiring. And its so comforting to see how you and the kids interact. Your family is lovely. Thank you for sharing.

[@lisapoulsen5452]

Watching you and the boys brings back so many cooking memories for me! Both as the child “helping” and my little ones helping…it’s not always efficient to have helpers, but it sure is fun🥰

[@jillthomas4926]

Your Thanksgiving meal looked delicious!

[@0osqueakso0]

Love your videos ! Id love for you to do maybe a fridge/freezer and pantry tour ? Id love to see what you always keep on hand !

[@jennyk3632]

Lisa, you and your daughter work so well together. I just loved watching this video.And the music was perfect! Thank you for offering these delicious recipes for free. Can’t wait to print them off and make this wonderful feast. God Bless you all.

[@janefromthecountry1820]

Your eldest daughter is a mini of you- so sweet she knows how to cook. Cooking is a wonderful skill to pass on to kids. Excellent cook, Lisa! You are the best cook EVER! I enjoy your cooking videos. Thanks for sharing these videos.

[@abundantlife8396]

I think this was her second daughter, Johanna(?). ❤️

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Yes, this is my second. My oldest is not into cooking. She's always off sewing or drawing. :)

[@---wu3qj]

Nice that you have a helper in the kitchen!

[@anna-katharinaknall7076]

I am so enjoying your channel!! I am in my 60th year....have raised 3 older kiddos who are raising their own now but I still have 2 young boys at home. I am learning lots and really enjoying it!! Guess the sayings not right.....you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!!

I loved watching your daughter helping you, she is so mature for her age, and the food looks wonderful! Have a great Thanksgiving American cousins, with heart felt love from England. x.

[@clairemichael4237]

[@vickibrain8959]

my mom always dried her bread out in the oven, plus a pan of savory cornbread . Our dressing was half bread and half cornbread with the broth, sage, poultry seasoning, salt/pepper, onion & celery plus an egg or two.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

That’s the way I make it too.

[@OliviaKayCarney]

Your boys are precious 💕

[@theglowingbrownie5124]

The baby boy is killing me!!! Sooo cute!!

[@toritichinel4709]

Really enjoyed watching! Any way you can make a video showing how you clean your cast iron skillets? I’m new to using them and am having a hard time figuring out the right method. It would be nice to see how you clean them after cooking different meals.

[@cherylsoergel9561]

[@illusionary5951]

Should hydrated those cranberries in boiling water . Just enough to cover them. Put a lid on and allow to cool drain off any excess liquid . You can give them a whirl in a blender with your cider and spices or just add cider and spices to the pot an cook them to how you like them. My mother used this technique to hydrate raisins before she made oatmeal cookies Enjoy !

[@ruthstoker7754]

God bless you . you remind me of my mom she used to do everything from scratch beautifully. I loved watching her. My mom birthed 6 boys then 6 girls with 2 more boys. Ten were home birthed. Last 4 were birthed hospital. Iwas number 12 with 2 younger bro.
