Daisy has had a calf a year for the past two years. Don’t be sad, I’m sure her having a rest is a good thing for her. I have been watching you all since the beginning and I have enjoyed every minute. Have a wonderful, safe and blessed day! Donna Tapper Raleigh, NC.

[@rachellerice1991]

I would think it would be safer for Daisy,to let her rest, instead of just constantly keeping her pregnant. She just had a baby, poor thing

[@1977GBH]

Janice you look and sound great!!! More relaxed and more time with your wonderful family❤The new video routine is great for you!!! And your well being😊

[@LindaDavis-hi2un]

Pizza & “The Chosen” sounds like a perfect night to me! I love you and your family.❤

[@dianeweaver9215]

I had that virus bug since day after christmas. I am just feeling better The cough was terrible. Love your family glad you r better

[@JeanPhillips-p9h]

Good to see you. I have done my food shopping for the month. Tonight I have to preserve it. My pantry is also full.

[@KateBurt-b4e]

Enjoying the "what you eat" video- We too, are using up the things that are expiring, garden produce from the freezer and stuff that has been hanging around for a while. I am learning what I won't be buying in the future and trying to buy less processed foods. We are finding new recipes to try also. I am doing the challenge through at least March.

[@irismcq.3776]

Hi Janice, I just don't think you know how amazing you & your family are. I wish that if we were given "second chances" on life, I certainly would live mine as close to how you & your family live. Beautiful Godly people and your children are absolutely one of a kind, rare. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family. You bring comfort to many of us. God Bless you. p.s. is there a step by step video on how to begin your sourdough starter from start to finish? Thank you

[@LindaDavis-hi2un]

Amen!❤

[@dederutberg8920]

Janice, you (and your family) are such good stewards of resources! Well done.

[@darilanglois8860]

Unbelievable! Amazing food! Beautiful family! Thank you for your beautiful video! I am a 65 Cambodian woman living in Montreal for 50 years now and we have a lot of snow! Merci 🙏 always watching you from Montreal

[@pegm.5308]

[@iphigeniakatsaridou9059]

Janice I enjoy all you videos, but these are my favorite 😊

[@rubytaylor4566]

Yummy meals , enjoyed yall!😊🙏❤ Ms. Ruby

[@joyforjenna]

I am always so impressed with all of the food you harvest from your homestead! It really is incredible to me. I feel like feeding my family of five is a full-time job so watching you feed your family of nine is really inspiring!!

[@wendyzimmerman6002]

What a pretty pretty display of veggies and fruit that was so good. I wanted to reach challenge grab one. What a neat video I love what you eat in a week videos from your family. They’re not fussy. They eat what he put in front of them without complaining.

[@trishthedish2790]

Oh love these videos!! Janice just love your family !!

[@laurenalcala4253]

Great video! Enjoyed seeing the food! TFS ❤️

[@KateEASN]

Love the video Janice!! You know, I was thinking how much work these videos are...then realized how much work your life is 😂 I am getting a big kick out of 4 year old Rebecca--her personality is getting bigger every day 😊 She's such a doll. I love that you make your own butter and I bet it is delicious!

[@vikkibyington3066]

❤ Janice, loved this video. I don’t know why it is so interesting to see what others eat. 😂 It does though and I love the way y’all used up even all your leftovers. I’ve never had lamb or any lamb derivative. Here’s a funny….in 1977 I was blessed to visit the Holy Land with a day in Paris and a couple of days in Rome. It was my first time to fly. A friend I knew from KY was also going so we paired up in Kennedy Airport. We flew out on Air France. A huge plane!! When the flight attendant came by to get our choices for dinner one if the entree choices was Lamb. She had a lovely little French accent and I had my Southern ears on and I thought she was saying Llama. And I said, “Llama!!” My friend Ron corrected me immediately. 😂 to this day I cannot recall one thing I ate on my trip. Don’t know what if anything I ate on the plane taking us to Paris. 😂 You can take the girl out of the country but you can’t take the country out of the girl! 😂 have a good week. Love you all! 🩷♥️ 🐑

[@Janiece9079]

Keeping in mind - pure lemon juice, honey & ginger breaks up that cough. Make hot tea, add your lemon, honey & crystalize ginger.

[@maegardnermills4292]

My goodness! If you don't work, you don't eat really applies to all those meals. I was longing for some applebutter on a few leftovers 🥞 . I just ate leftover spaghetti with a spoonful of creamy blue cheese dressing on top. Does Rebekah know the song about a fly in the buttermilk? 🙏 It is great you have family to see and enjoy being with. 🧁 😃

[@bravochick]

Those homemade hotdog buns turned out so nice!

[@belindaalderson9341]

I’m waiting for this years chosen . Love love that show

[@Janet-w5v]

B and G for supper was a favorite of my husband.

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thankyou

[@GrandmaTeresa455]

Sorry your all sick, hope you get to feeling better

[@linetteuong1564]

Kids are so sweet love your channel wonderful family ❤

[@vickieduffy451]

Freeze dry the butter milk. I do it all the time. Also it is a lot quicker to use your kitchen aid for butter. I pour off buttermilk and wash the butter in the mixing bowl under a small run of cold water and my hands. A lot less dishes and work. I do butter every day when milking. I store in the freezer too. I hope that helps.

[@vickymyprayergarden6846]

That's one thing I hate about winter , so many fall ill with something one right after the other !! Reason is ,we are always cooped up in a house ,or in a car with windows shut lol , not getting out much for fresh air . too cold !lol Loved and enjoyed your vid !! Yay 👍👍👍👍🎉🎉⭐

[@dawnsullivan7325]

[@michiemca]

i am allergic to eggs.. so i looked all over for a recipe to make fudgecicles.. i was shocked to learn most are just hot chocolate mix with water put in molds in the freezer. i bet yours is wonderful. my grandma did a lot with eggs and they always were so creamy and thick. thank you for sharing. i love watching your videos.

[@melisaharding9591]

Covid is running through my family again in Alabama. Is SARAH ok? I noticed she is not cooking for us and she is quiet. I pray she is doing well. ❤️🙏

I was going to tease you about 'the cupcakes' lol ( it's lovely to see you all) xx

[@hannahbethmiller3169]

Hi precious ozark family homestead

[@amberlovejoy]

Can you freeze dry butter milk?? I think it would be awesome to have a baking mix like say pancake mix with freeze dried buttermilk already in it so you just add water and eggs?? I dunno.. I know the queue for your freeze dryer is awful long right now with all the projects you have on the fridge in the summer kitchen..

[@SUSANPORTER0626]

🎉🎉Yay🎉🎉 These videos are so chock full of ideas for menus.. I save so much.. thank you!

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

I say YAY too, Susan! I'm so glad you enjoy these videos! :)

[@GuenevereSlater]

I'm in upstate new York and everyone I know around here had that same yuck thing... my sister, grandson, friends. My daughter in ohio had it too. I too am at the tail end. I love watching you and your family. I don't know about Fava beans but I've heard of flour made from them.

[@heidipower7842]

You guys sure go all out when you do a family get together all looked good

[@BevLopez-xy6iq]

Hi Janice and family. Love the videos! Full of menu ideas. Warm hug to all

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thank you, Bev, for taking the time to watch and comment! I’m sending a warm hug back to you too! :)

[@samjones9465]

Yummm neck of lamb Janice, one of my favourites . In the UK we tend to eat it with mint jelly/sauce I add just a couple of teaspoons in my stew it just brightens it and cuts through the fat - gorgeous

[@linetteuong1564]

That’s awesome on the butter making 🤠

[@zoeelisabethgayton4876]

Those hotdog buns look incredible! Recipe please? 😊 Love from Queensland Australia!

[@Cindi-From-Sunny-South-Florida]

Hi 👋👋👋 love the video. Several times you mentioned maple syrup. I follow a Christian family in Virginia who produces maple syrup. It's the mill gap farms. It would be very educational, also the have cows sheep and more

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

You are so kind, Jean! Thanks for the sweet comment! :)

[@kristenbetthel1072]

Just what I needed ❤

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

the easier way to do fava beans is boil them then put them in a jar with lots of salt and leave in the fridge for about a week then we call it poppers you peal the fava and pop in your mouth salty and bean lol hugsss

[@Janet-w5v]

Do you ever culture your buttermilk? Very nutritious. I know you like to make fermented things. 😊

[@sabrinadevol1210]

I loved buckwheat pancakes growing up. Have you ever made those?

[@alexisedwards4595]

Ahhh came out at the perfect time. Rocking my baby to sleep. I’ll be stuck here for about an hour! :)

[@melodyspoor3127]

Loved the video! ❤❤❤

[@Simplesuburbanhome]

Aw sorry to hear family hasn’t been well. Here at my house we’ve all gone down with something similar Andrew was sneaking out to the jeep 😂

[@JustTheJesters]

Oh do you have plans to breed spruce too? Sorry about Daisy 🌼 not accepting the breed. Sounds like Daisy and I are having the same issue hahaha

[@Mary-s7w9g]

I enjoy all of your vlogs

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thank you, Mary! :)

[@debbierowe5891]

Ask Google for flava bean recipes. They have several. Also, with all that cream you can make some yogurt ,i know your children like yogurt. Also, i found recipes for sour cream and cream cheese. Miss getting to visit with you and Shawn.

[@melissalee1531]

My Grandma made buttermilk pie and used buttermilk in a chocolate cake . Might try those . Sorry she never had recipes!!!!

[@Janet-w5v]

Nice-looking chickens

[@doloreswilson6698]

Blessed 😊

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Hi Dolores! I hope you're doing well! :)

[@shannonbozeman45]

It's ok to call family members cupcakes. Cause cupcakes are sweet and and cute.

[@kristenbetthel1072]

Buckwheat pancakes or porridge ❤

[@angelsbecca]

Oh my word ,three weeks sick. I'm so sorry

[@ditackett]

All in a day. I can’t believe that has to be done in a day with u and ur family. I don’t know how u stay or if it was me get started being organized. At lunch when u said that u had to finish us schooling with one child then u had to do something to prepare dinner and guests. My brain was just going crazy. My hat 👒 is off to u

[@Sandgee62]

Morning Janice! I’m happy to hear you all are recovering from what I call wintertime ick. I get it every year and it certainly is ick! Fava beans do make a non soy tofu. I get that type cause I cannot tolerate soybean tofu.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Oh goodness, I am so sorry you get that every year! It was miserable and I'm so glad it's behind us now. :)

[@wendyzimmerman6002]

What a pretty pretty display of veggies and fruit that was so good. I wanted to reach challenge grab one.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Yes, Wendy, we always eat good at my Mom's house! 😋

[@319roxanne]

My husband and I had that same yuck for 4 weeks! It took forever! I did make my own antibiotics.

[@Traveler-nu8xc]

Same thing going around Upstate NY. My 9 grandkids keep passing it around, bringing it home from school etc. I thought our zero degree temps would help but it drove everyone inside so it kept spreading. Flu rates doubled here last week 🙏🏻

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

It was awful! I don't remember ever having a sore throat for 3+ weeks straight. It felt like it took forever to go through all 9 of us! :)

[@stanparker3636]

My daughter has had the cough for a good month.

[@christineclara6198]

I would have loved to eat at your house. Mouthwatering recipes. Could you please give me your recipe of Hamburger helper?

[@kristivandenberg6339]

I'm hungry watching your video!!!

[@npl3533]

Just finished the video, it's 8.30pm in Germany and I am hungry now! 😩🥺🤤😅

[@LindaSnack-cz3pv]

Can you make sauerkraut from spiral zucchini? Do you ever make quiche?

[@DawnBritton-t7g]

THERE WAS YOUR SISTER CARRYING THEM IN THE DOOR, IT WAS A BRIEF PICTURE BUT WAS THERE DEAR.

[@vickymyprayergarden6846]

Oh wait !!! I forgot to say , EVERYTHING LOOKED SI DELICIOUS !!!

[@yvonnechristmas2616]

Fun video. Janice, this is me just wondering. Do you have a set time for your 3 meals ? I guess, what time in the morning are you having breakfast ? I know it my sound weird, but it's just me wondering. Thanks

[@susaningram6360]

Put her with a bull around you that you trust. AI is also a venture. We used to have cows. We had Beefmaster bulls and cows. They were so gentle. We had a bull named Sweetie. We, our two year old, four month old, my husband, and myself, could walk right up to him in the pasture. He was so gentle. He let our two year old walk up and pet him. They are more of a beef cattle, but their personalities are so sweet on the most part. I laughed so hard about the Fava Beans. No fun?

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

Hi! Thanks for your videos! Idea: check out Jason and Julie Kreke homestead utube video recently about home cooking. She discovered cooking bone brothe for days increased histamine in it and makes colds worse? Interesting. God bless!

[@leteakeapitt9569]

Good afternoon janice and family

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Hello Leteakea! As always, thank you for being here! 😊

[@belindaalderson9341]

I grew up with pan dough dae. Or French toast

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

I've never heard it called pan dough dae, Belinda! It's a favorite in our house though! :)

[@beverlycastor8606]

Love your videos and your family but would like to see you prepare the meals

[@CheriGoodwin]

Better cupcakes than snowflakes! Oops, sorry! Plz don't kick me out! Rebekah is getting so grown up, very little to no redirection needed from Mama now! She is so amazing! You can see how smart she is, just like her siblings! Your foods all look delicious! Tell Sarah that buttermilk pie is delicious, in case she needs any more ideas for the buttermilk. Thanks for the What We Eat in a Week! I love these videos the most. Cheri

[@frugalitystartsathome4889]

I just love that you folks eat mostly “real” food - like scrambled eggs and homemade bread - with the occasional (home topped) pizza or packet of something for variety. I really think that’s how most of us eat when we’re trying to be sensible. Most people would want to live solely on good, fresh food but find it hard to do so. You’re proof that eating a packet of pasta or a tin of something, rather than making your own from scratch all the time, is still sensible and provides the variety we all need.

[@TeresaBrown-r8q]

have you tried to freeze dry the buttermilk?

[@linetteuong1564]

Fun video

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thanks Linette! I sure do appreciate you taking the time to watch and supporting our family the way you do. :)

[@CaliMishell]

Does your family not eat pork, Janice? I can’t recall in ALL of the videos I’ve watch whether I’ve seen you cook with it. I love every one of the videos. You have a beautiful family.

[@christylanham8233]

I remember her saying they do not eat pork

[@CaliMishell]

@ I must have missed it. Thanks for responding.

[@susangrote3633]

I don’t believe they do, but I don’t know why. Perhaps I’ve missed the reasoning in a previous video. Janice, can you tell us why your family doesn’t eat pork?

[@christylanham8233]

@ I recall her saying they don’t and I think she said it’s for religious reasons.

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

i love these videos hugsssss

[@linetteuong1564]

Yah those beans do no look good 😂 I would have to pass 😂

[@ericawallace526]

I say this in the most loving way possible.. you have growing teen boys and kids. They need more protein and calories in a day than a little ground turkey in gravy in an entire day. Breakfast- cream of barley, lunch- salad, dinner- biscuit gravy and eggs.

[@Allison-h9o]

Good afternoon

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Hi Allison! Thank you for always being here and supporting our family the way you do! :)

[@louiseharrison3687]

It's o.k I saw her walking in with them.

[@mariwoodruff2710]

Least you didn't say fruit cakes😂😂

[@mimimcgee5512]

What happens now that Daisy isn’t pregnant? Do you try to get her pregnant again or do you have to wait a year? Do you have a cow on your property that she mates with or do you have to plan that out with someone else’s cow?
