I'm Rachel: wife of 6 years, mom of 3 little boys, and caretaker of my home. I seek to pursue excellence in my home--learning skills that challenge me to be a better individual, wife, mother, and homemaker. I enjoy learning and teaching others how to try old-fashioned skills like cooking from scratch, baking bread, gardening, preserving, stocking a pantry, and more. It brings me joy to care for my family well!

I don’t know why this Channel doesn’t have more followers. I’m enjoying your content. I made bagels yesterday!

[@homemakingwithjoy]

So kind of you! I hope you enjoyed the bagels. :)

[@cindynance7289]

Oh my, you young ladies are rocking this pantry challenge! I am a Jessica follower and dearly love her! So glad to find you through her! I will definitely check out the instant pot recipes and love the freezer meals that are prepped and ready to go for a busy mommy! This is a channel I will look forward too! Thanks!!

[@homemakingwithjoy]

You are so kind! Jessica is such an inspiration. Thanks for being here!

[@gailwarfield9491]

Love the IP hamburger helper recipe thanks for being so natural in your home

[@betternpopcorn]

Found you through the pantry challenge. Nice quality video and I enjoyed how “real” your meals were new subscriber. Deborah from Florida

[@EmeryShae]

Bread Beckers does pasta with freshly milled flour in a machine like that. So cool!

[@karenhunter8969]

Great recipes and ideas. You always need to treat yourself at times!

[@nanasinthekitchen6016]

I love Chick Fil A! I get a southwest salad with crispy chicken, an extra pack of nuggets, avocado lime ranch dressing, an order of fries and a diet lemonade! I normally despise lemonade but Chick Fil A diet is the only kind i will drink!

[@AmyKreiger-oi6qu]

You’re doing a great job with the challenge so far! Great creativity in your meals! (Even with the potato cube repeat.) I very much enjoy watching you cook and provide for your family. Well done!

[@homemakingwithjoy]

Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement!

[@daniellemeacham3884]

Your kiddos are so lucky to have good, nutritious food to eat!! I’m sure your husband knows he is too.

[@homemakingwithjoy]

That is so kind of you. Thank you!

[@the_backyard_homestead_1850]

I just found your channel and I love it :) this is my first year doing the pantry challenge. That’s how I came across your video. So my favorite at Chick-fil-A is the Chick-fil-A sandwich original with just extra pickles, french fries Chick-fil-A sauce, and their lemonade.

[@Delmajesty]

My favorite part of this video was the sneaky husband hand while you were popping the muffins out of the pan.

[@homemakingwithjoy]

He appreciates my cooking and baking. :) Hugs are a good way to show it!

[@EmeryShae]

My family is a huge fan of roasted potatoes this way too.

[@brandyweidner602]

Im gonna try these dishes, been looking for something different as we are doing the pantry challenge as well .. Happy homemaking God bless

[@cyn4rest]

Our fave at Chic’? Cobb Salad with Nuggets on top and their Avocado Dressing. Yum! Your Pumpkin Muffins look amazing.

[@breesaves]

What a cool little pasta machine! I have only ever seen Three Rivers mill her flour, so it is super cool to see you as well! I love learning about these things.

[@homemakingwithjoy]

My mind was blown when I learned that the flour at the store is not actually a base ingredient--I had never heard of wheat berries before! It's fascinating and delicious. :)

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Loved watching you cook!

[@homemakingwithjoy]

Thank you!

[@tiggywinkle7522]

I watched the video where yiu and hubby did all that corn! Lol, good to see you back in action.

[@homemakingwithjoy]

Thanks for watching!

[@keilahbailey4810]

Love Chick-Fil-A! We don't go there much anymore as it gets expensive for our large family... My favorite things to order since i worked there as a teen are the original sandwich with extra pickle chips, waffle fries with the Chick-fil-A sauce, and fresh lemonade! 😋

[@GardeningWarrior]

I used to work in a mall that had a chic fil a that would give us sweet tea for free with a chic fil a cup. I would take my styrofoam cup home and wash it at night just so I could have their sweet tea at work the next day. I haven't been to a chic fil a in 10 years but my favorite meal was their chicken salad sandwiches, I dont even know if they still make them.

[@mandiesplace]

Wow great job on the pasta! You’re serving up some really great wholesome meals for your family! I’ve been enjoying sharing our pantry challenge meals on my channel as well!

[@evanorvell8368]

Try the wrap with cilantro lime dressing! My favorite!

[@smos1430]

ohhhh i am so excited I have found you, and that you truly use all ground wheat!!!!!!

[@homemakingwithjoy]

You betcha! It's a learning curve, but doable!

[@moniquefuselier7711]

Looked like a great week of delicious meals. I did not know that such a pasta machine existed--thanks for sharing!

[@homemakingwithjoy]

Thanks! The pasta machine is such a cool tool. We enjoy it!

[@Jaynes-Path]

Very nice little Pasta machine! Does it make different shapes or sizes? Will it work with gluten free flour? Please let us know what kind or brand you have. I've never seen one like that before.

[@rosa.athome]

Those look like Aldi hash browns. They're our favorite 😊

[@homemakingwithjoy]

You nailed it! We are big fans of Aldi. 😁

[@tinakelch9471]

Yes🙌 I have the same Phillips spaghetti maker .. what is your recipe you used ? Haven’t seen anyone use freshly milled four with it .. I have a recipe with kamut it did great I need to let it sit but still did good.. I hit more to get to your subscriptions and it keep an it keeps going to all your videos so can’t get anything you post wanted you pumpkin ones to

[@Cookingwithapril]

Rachel what a wonderful second week I am definitely gonna do it one month. Lol. 😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

[@homemakingwithjoy]

Thanks! You can do it! :)

[@jennifercruz3534]

What’s even easier is using a handheld mixer in the instant pot liner. Even less dishes :)

[@homemakingwithjoy]

I'm a big fan of fewer dishes 🤩 Excellent tip!

[@RaptureWILLBeSoon]

That is how I shred my chicken also, game changer!

[@homemakingwithjoy]

It's the best!

[@AdamChenevert]

I love your channel

[@homemakingwithjoy]

Thanks!

[@naptimeseamstress]

Is the Phillips pasta machine easy to wash? That's really cool. We are 3.5 months into fresh-milled flour, and a pasta machine or roller is next on our wishlist.

[@homemakingwithjoy]

Yes it is! All of the parts that come in contact with the dough can be put into the dishwasher. :)

[@littlecreekhomestead4086]

New subscriber here! Loving your content. Where did you get your jar opener? Also do you have a link to the pasta machine?

[@homemakingwithjoy]

Thanks for watching! 😁 I got my lid lifter from Jenn at five_v_farm on Instagram. I linked the pasta machine in the description; sorry I forgot to do that the first time!

[@littlecreekhomestead4086]

@@homemakingwithjoy thank you!

[@morganmarckmann7966]

Spicy chicken sandwich or southwest chicken salad with avocado lime ranch

[@beckyryan407]

Looks fantastic, homemade is the best. I make my own brown sugar and vanilla, better flavor and you control what is in it.

[@homemakingwithjoy]

Yes! Me too!

[@beckyholbrook7395]

What is the mixer you used to mix the pumpkin muffins? Will it do bread dough?

[@homemakingwithjoy]

It is a Bosch. It's linked in the description. It does a great job with bread dough!

[@skyecrescent]

Why did you use hard white instead of soft white?

[@marilynziesmer287]

Wonderful meals. How old are your kids? ❤❤❤❤

[@homemakingwithjoy]

Thanks! I have 3 kids, ages 4 and under.
