Broccoli Salad (I made a double-batch in the video.)
2 heads fresh broccoli cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 pound bacon, chopped
3/4 cup raisins, softened with hot water then drained
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or sliced almonds
1 cup mayonnaise - homemade recipe here: • Company's Coming! A Bu...
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
Mix all the above together, chill, and serve!
Momma's Meatloaf
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together: (seasonings can be "tweaked" to your liking)
2 pounds LEAN ground beef or venison
2 eggs
3/4 cup of rolled oats or cooked rice
1/8 cup minced onion
3 Tbsp. liquid aminos
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Using your hands, mix everything together in a round, glass dish. Form into a circle with a hole in the middle. Pour an 8 oz. can of tomato sauce over the loaf and spread out evenly. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and basil. Bake for about 45 minutes or until cooked through.

The dinner looks so good! I didn’t notice the shaking at all. Anna did a fabulous job helping you video. Love your sweet little family. ❤

[@Susanjoc]

Meat loaf and sides look delicious. Nice to see the boys able to work in the kitchen. These life skills are lacking today in society.

[@sallyoakes7709]

LOL - mashed potatoes and green beans go together. When I worked for a family restaurant (it was a chain), we shortened that to "homestyle" when we called in our orders. "chicken homestyle" meant regular serving of chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans on the side. I don't remember us having meatloaf, though. But mashed potatoes and green beans were ordered often enough together that it warranted its own word.

[@donnagribbins1763]

A lid from a parmesan cheese can works well on a mason jar and gives you the holes to shake out the ingredients. I have one of those on my salt jar so that I can just shake the salt out.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Great tip! I never thought of that, Donna, so thank you so much for mentioning it! :)

[@Jane5720]

Good idea

[@ritaslade2989]

Janice your meal looks so delicious 😊 I can tell you miss your children ❤You're a Awesome Moma❤ God Bless You

[@leighscott1877]

I always add some cream cheese (about half of a package) to the potatoes....yummy!!

[@sherritorgalson7843]

Hi Janice. If you put the almonds in a fry an on a lower heat and toss them so they don’t burn, this gives them a nicer nutty flavour. You could even put them in the oven. I do this with pecans and walnuts too when I’m making salads.

[@kelliejackson1191]

I think it is nice that your young men help you in the kitchen also. Men need to know how to cook and clean and do laundry too. Good meal!

[@user-bv2ri3ol8k]

Janice your such a pro on making your family meals❤❤

[@tracyholliday7627]

I love your "real life videos".....keep them coming ❤️

[@MaryStevens-tb2dz]

You're and fabulous lady to cook for so many people. God bless you family.

[@BrowneyedGirlmjd]

Dear sweet Janice - this message isn't for you. There is no apology needed!! My comment is for the know-nothings with nothing better to do than make snarky and unhelpful comments. I use technology all the time for meetings. Stuff happens!! Get over it. If a slightly shaky bothers you that much watch another channel. Thank you Janice for all the work you do on this channel. Your grocery videos help so many people budget their money. ❤❤❤❤

[@rootsandarrowshomestead]

Hi Janice! Meatloaf (and all the fixin’s) is a favorite in our house for sure! Miss y’all and hope you’re all doing great! ❤

[@16CENTS561]

Onion chopping tip, place a wet towel (paper or cloth] next to where your chopping and no more tears!

[@kimberlygates4488]

This really works!!!

[@natashawilliams7139]

Thankyou for the great idea of adding nuts to broccoli salad! Will definitely be doing that from now on ❤

[@dorothybentley3808]

Oh the meatloaf looks delicious and so does the broccoli salad.I always cook without measuring anything. Except when it comes to baking cookies or cakes then I will measure.😘

[@jemreandeau3583]

Nice video, I love your cheerful personality. You are so fortunate to have all those lovely children. I only have one, but I feel blessed to have him. Rebecca is a darling. ❤

[@KendraKutche]

I make a Broccoli califlower salad that is like the Broccoli salad you made and I do add a little bit of sugar and its so yummy! 🥦🥓

[@christinabryant5725]

Mashed potatoes, meatloaf, and green beans. Yes! A meal we had a lot in my childhood😊

[@rubytaylor4566]

[@aproverbshome173]

Hi Janice! and childen. The food looks delicious. Rebecca you did a great job helping your mommy!

[@kittyrichards9915]

I cook my meatloaf on a roaster pan. The grease drips through the holes to the bottom of the pan. The meatloaf is delicious and not at all greasy.

[@BarbaraU]

I do mine on a broiler pan, same reason.

[@southernbelle193]

Never greasy if you use 93% fat free meat

[@maegardnermills4292]

❤What a beautiful plate❤ Great helpers. GOD BLESS you and your relatives and friends , always. Snow is coming soon in my area. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Natalie-ym8pj]

Pigtails and giggles. My favorite part of this video lol.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Oh Natalie, that made me smile! :)

[@tonyasmith2074]

Nummmmmmy that meat loaf looks Amazing

[@mamaof7kiddos]

Yum! I think I will be putting meatloaf on the menu next week. Thanks for the idea.

[@edithjohnson6835]

Add Mayo to potatoes, when you mash them, they are delicious.

[@debrasnipes7431]

My mother taught me that trick, as well. She used about 2/3 butter and 1/3 mayo. Not cup, just however much she needed was that the ratio. The actual amount depended on how much mashed potatoes she was making. And of course she never used a measuring spoon or a measuring cup unless she was baking so that’s how I ended up cooking, as well. The good old eyeball-it method. You just go more on texture and consistency and little taste tests along the way.

[@LittleRedHenNat]

Mamma duck said; Quack quack quack quack! And all of her little ducks came back! 🥰

[@galedobschuetz4007]

😊 makes me smile!!!

[@dianalynn8781]

I LOVE when you make videos like this! The children helped a lot while their siblings visited. All taking turns. I LOVED this vdeo! Thank you family!

[@katrinac469]

I love how you all work together, everything looks delicious!!

[@dianebrown3594]

Rebecca has grown up so much

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Im subscribed, and watch when I can. Im always behind on videos. I don’t think I’ll ever get caught up (and that’s a good thing)! I am sorry that I can’t keep up with everything. However, I so enjoy dropping in and trying to “visit” when I can. It makes me feel like I’m part of a family- kinda how I grew up so long ago. Thank you for sharing your life. You have a beautiful family and I love all of the journeys, care packages of love, watching chores and animals, cooking and baking- just everything! What a delight! You have some beautiful children and young adults. Everyone helps and pitches in and has a good time. Many blessings.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Sandra, I hope you know that I'm very glad to have you here - even if it's just a little bit here and a little bit there. Thank you for being part of our KZbin family!

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Thank you.

[@shirleymorgan9254]

Everything looks delicious. Thank you for sharing.

Great job Anna!!!!

[@dorothybentley3808]

I always enjoyed going to papaw and mama's for summer vacation we lived about 7 1/2 hours away but every summer two out of the four children would take turns staying the whole summer with them.some of the best memories of my life.😘😘😘

[@priscillaperry8543]

Love your family videos ❤️

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thank you, Priscilla! I'm so very glad to have you here! :)

[@tinahiggins5789]

Love your channel

[@carmarasmussen8118]

Love the thumbnail! 😊

[@michellenelson11]

Shaky video, laundry, and everything else about your REAL videos are why we all love your family. You are showing us that there are people like us! I totally get what you mean when you talk about how much you miss the presence of your children when they are gone. We have 2 married and moved out and another with a full time job. That leaves us with just 3 children (teens) at home most of the time. It is SO odd to go somewhere and only have 3 children with us. We definitely notice the absence of the others.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thank you so much, Michelle, for that encouragement! 😊 I'm afraid I'm not going to handle it well when my children actually move out "for good." Maybe I'll change my mind over the years, but right now the idea of them leaving just feels wrong!

[@michellenelson11]

@ozarkfamilyhomestead we say God knew what He was doing by spacing our children out so far (28-13) because I would be a horrible empty nester. Grandbaby #4 is due in March. We had hoped for grandbabies before all the children moved out. He answered that prayer!

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

@@michellenelson11 Yeah, I think I'm going to need that too, Michelle! 🥰

[@stitchengramie]

I can remember my mom putting the salt in a clear canning jar and also or sugar. She forgot to put a label on the jars and got the salt mixed up with the sugar one day.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Oh no! I'm sure that was a memorable experience! :)

[@mywildholm]

We love watching you guys in the kitchen - - doesn't matter what you make. Rebekah is so adorable - love the little apron. We love the allrecipes site too - so many good ones.

[@janicecafarelli3536]

Wish my family would eat meatloaf i've always loved it but not a fave for them. Great to have the boys working in the kitchen sometimes they need to know how to take care of themselves and their families when it comes to working in the kitchen too😊. Becca baby learning early so sweet!!

Nice dinner!

[@stitchengramie]

I never made meatloaf with rice in it. My mom used oatmeal in hers. I make mine this also. I have to give it a try with rice.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

I typically use oats too, but I wanted to use up that leftover rice in the fridge, so that's why I tossed it in the meatloaf. It actually worked well! :)

[@mimimcgee5512]

Your kids are so well mannered, patient, and helpful. It’s really remarkable that you’ve raised such awesome humans! I am always amazed how they all sit patiently and wait to eat while you do the filming or they’re finishing up a chore. I aspire to be so patient. I wish more folks were like you, the world would be a better place. 💜
