Our week of easy, slow cooked dinners! (Family of 6)

[@roniniowa1661]

The "ooooooh" as you opened the dutch oven with the apples tells the whole story

[@preppingmama]

In the “olden days,” we called this COST: cook once serve twice.

[@Prove_ALL_Things]

Just an idea, that our family has done. In stead of big dinners, we do big lunches, then small dinners or snacking. We also homeschool, and the kids have things in the evenings, so it actually works out. If we do big lunch we sometimes eat a little later, like 1 to 2. We will even do this on the weekends. It is nice because it makes the evenings a bit less hectic. Just an idea. Love the videos!!!

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks for sharing this! That is a really good idea. Especially as our kids get older and Jim and I are both home, I could see us doing this too. Thanks for watching :)

[@pinschrunner]

I have been eating this way my entire life. Even our dogs get their big meal at 1- 2pm. I don't want to be on my feet all evening

[@camilahearst4171]

Thank you for sharing your inspirational life! I love your style of living life! Beautiful family!

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

You're welcome! So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@rebeccadubolsky2183]

Absolutely! Soups are great meals. 😊

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

The best! ❤️

[@billykulim5202]

in asia the most easy and lazy meals for serving many people is fried rice, its the most common easy to make meals

[@aliciadavidson5005]

And that is totally true about cooling the rice. I took my glucose before eating rice then an hour and a half later when it peaked it had not spiked at all! Thanks so much for that tip Joelle! ❤❤

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

U eat it when it’s cold? Heat it back up?

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

How many points did it rise at peak?

That's great to hear - thanks for sharing!

Leftovers are a godsend and blessing 🥰🥰🥰My family loves them because it frees mom up for board games before they have to set the table 🥰I also change it up a little ❤️👍 I love your videos 🙏

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Yes! I love how you intentionally use that extra time to do something connective with your kids. That's a really fun idea on those days! Thanks for sharing!

[@AZJH8374]

Short ribs. Yum. My favorite as well. Here in Scottsdale AZ it's $8.99/lb Yikes. To pricy for me! But they are so good. It takes me all day to cook spaghetti sauce, but our old Sicilian neighbor gave us a fabulous recipe that calls for braised short ribs 😋 the best I've ever had. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 I love your channel 🙏🏻 ❤️ Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ 🙏🏻 ❤️

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks, Judi! Yumm!

[@AvaEvelyn-z8t]

Yum

[@sandys.1891]

This is so timely. I've had to learn new recipes to use up many of the beef cuts but those short ribs are growing old in the freezer. The soup sounds wonderful. Thank you for another great recipe.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Love when that happens! 😊

[@truthseeker6370]

Love your channel and wish you posted more! What a great tip about cooling cooked rice and potatoes in the fridge to lower their glycemic index! I was not aware of this.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks so much!! 😊

[@annacurry225]

The soup looks delicious.

[@renata-s5b]

Thanks for sharing 😊 I tried nearly all your recipes 🌸 it was nearly always a great novelty in my family menu 🍧

[@renata-s5b]

And will you pls remind me - is your Aga gas or electric ?

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

You’re welcome and so glad you enjoy these recipes! Our oven is gas.

[@susie6315]

I love soups and stews 😋 I'll make them all winter as well, at least most of the time. Thank you for cooking inspiration, looks delicious as always 💗

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

They are the best! Thanks for watching!!

[@heatherkennedy9973]

you should do a video about how your oven / stove works and explain why it is always on love your content and i watch when i can and try to catch up when i can't

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks so much for watching and the suggestion! We do have this one from last year that shares more about it and how we use it 😊 m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6bWqJ6hiaaMbNE

[@Loveapothecarist]

@@FromScratchFarmsteadI am very curious about the AGA is it electric or gas? Does it make the house hot in summer?

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

@@Loveapothecarist it runs on gas! Yes, it can definitely warm things up in the summer. Many who have them have a backup stove in the basement or an outdoor cooker that they switch to in the summer months. We just run it all year and make do with some months being pretty toasty in the kitchen area.

[@DollyJohanne]

Thank you as always for sharing ❤😊 Today you was my company with my morning coffee 😊 I really love soups, and I am alone and last December I bought myself a “soup maker”. It’s like a blender and a water kettle in one. It’s small, so more for one person. It’s 6 deciliters, around 2,5 American cups. I have dental braces, so soup is a good one 😬🤓 I am allergic to dairy but I use a small potato in every soup I make and that makes it’s so creamy 😋 I also love “loaded soup”. I have the soup and adds on different veggies and other yummy things and it’s more like a stew. So delicious. My favorite soups are corn soup, cauliflower soup, and mushrooms soup, all with some potato for creaminess and nutritional yeast for umami 😋 There are so many great soups (and stews), and I totally agree: leftovers are great 🥰🤩 I don’t mind eating the exact same meal, but as you said, you can twist it, or use it in another way and make it totally different, for half the work load 😁💪🏻 Chili in enchiladas was a great idea 😊 I will stop babbling now 🤣🫣 Wish you another blessed week 😊 Love from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

I love this, Johanne! Thanks for sharing these great ideas. That soup maker sounds amazing!! Have a great week!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Great meals. I love each of them. Fall has the best meals. Ty so much.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

I agree! I love the seasonal food fall brings! Thanks for watching!

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

I wish I could do the same thing. My husband is so picky regarding food and does not subscribe to my desire for self reliance and sustainable living. It's very frustrating and I often feel like a hypocrite when I make videos for my channel. I'm tormented by it.

[@dlgrilli]

I am so ready for fall. We, here in Northern California, were in the low 80's last week but we are shooting up to the 90's this week 🥺. Food looks great, by the way.

Amazing stuff mom! We do pretty much the same thing when cooking. Whenever we make something we can usually save about half and into the freezer or canner it goes to be eaten later. Pretty easy to amass a fair bit of quick dinner for months to come! Love it!

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Such a great strategy! Thanks for chiming in!

[@Patti-1962]

We eat soup all year round because it is my favorite meal. We use bone broth, lots of veggies, meat of choice and seasoning. And of course it is cooked in the crockpot! I will add these recipes and am so excited to try them! PS We have also switched to coconut aminos! I also like using cauliflower rice instead of regular (bought at Costco!)

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Love all of this! ❤️😊

[@AZJH8374]

Did your AGA come with your home? I have a patient that owns one & keeps it on year round here in Scottsdale AZ. She absolutely loves it ❤️ 💕 💗

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

We found in used for almost nothing on fb marketplace when we were remodeling our kitchen after we bought our home!

[@StonerSmurfin]

I like to take a bed of rice, top it with chili, lettuce cheese and sour cream. Idk about adding the carrots and potatoes like you did for making it this way, mine tends to be more of a taco style chili when I eat it this way vs the typical chili that I make for a normal chili dinner with cornbread.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Sounds delicious!

[@rickthelian2215]

My favourite slow cooked meal is Hungarian Goulsh, worth the three hours cook time❤

[@Elense957]

If I were rich I would buy you a kitchenaide food processer and mixer with the peeler attachment. They are magical. Your hands would thank you when you get older!

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

It’s one kitchen tool that I’ve never used! My mom always hand mixed everything so maybe that’s where it comes from. We had a cheaper mixer in the past but I never used it so I sold it. I wonder if I’d use a kitchen aid if I had one 🤔. Thanks for watching!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

@@FromScratchFarmstead I think maybe you and I are the only two women in the US who don't have a KitchenAid and don't mind or aren't pining for one! 😂 I'm with you. For the very few times I've thought it would be nice to have one (mostly when I make my great grandmother's Christmas cookies), it's never seemed worth the money or the space. But I know some people use theirs constantly.

[@katharinawittkugel3200]

Maybe you would like to invest in an spiral apple slicer. The children love to help coring the apples and slice them to eat fresh, dry the rings on a line over the oven or cook applesauce.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

We actually have one on a shelf as a decoration but I've only used it a couple of time. I should pull it out. You're right that the kids would love it!

I normally do a all day stove top cook for my apples and then water bath my apple sauce. But you’re method looks very simple. do you think I could use that method you did here, add lemon juice and water bath to can? I’ve not passed the scary threshold of pressure canning yet.

Yes! You could definitely water bath this.

How does your stove make your kitchen feel in the heat of the summer? I just love it but wonder how it would do in our 100+ temps in TX?
