I dream of living a life where we make everything from scratch! Way to go!!!

[@jeanneamato8278]

It’s great to have children that can cook. More kids should be taught self sufficiency.

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

I love seeing such self-reliant children. That pumpkin cake looked amazing. You have a.lovely family.

[@JanalynVoigt]

Good job on raising those kids to eat veggies and cook for themselves. I'm learning lots about winter gardening from watching your videos.

[@journeywithnichole986]

Good job on rescuing the produce. Especially celery. I have a hard time growing celery. Beyond impressed in your son’s abilities in the kitchen! My goodness, I don’t think I blinked just watching every move. I am 54 and have never been successful at baking, but this young man has got it!! ❤

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Aw thanks! I’m going to show him your comment! He’ll love to hear that 💛

[@annacayton8193]

@@TheSeasonalHomesteaddo you have a video on the process of freeze drying eggs?

[@ellevictory1339]

I am not playing rescuing fake children who don't exist yet

[@danagottzmann4888]

Love seeing how the whole family chips in to make each meal come together, so sweet!

[@wendyhall8834]

Those cabbages were beautiful!!! Great job beating the storm and saving your produce! You take a pantry challenge to a whole new level with your gardening skills!! I love your recipes and cooking in the kitchen videos too! Most of all Becky, I love that your children are always close by and interacting, helping you!! God bless❤

[@DebLoduca-nh3bz]

I love that your kids cook. I have five brothers and my mother made sure we ALL knew how to cook and do our own laundry. Important life skills.

[@Frouza21]

Your kids are amazing! Of course everything you showed us in the video is cool but seeing them helping you so much, like an adults would, is making me happy 🔥❤ Great parenting!

[@countrymousesfarmhouse497]

That level of crispy cheese was perfect for us. We love it crispy. All the veg looks amazing. I love the kids snacking straight on them ❤❤

[@iartistdotme]

Love watching your kids helping in the garden and eating everything just picked. They are setting up a healthy life!

[@champagnemommy]

Hard work paying off in spades. The kids are so beautiful and happy and obviously healthy. It’s lovely to see. 😊

[@jenniferdruery8661]

I love seeing the kids cook!! Awesome!

[@cindyledbetter2228]

To anyone who doesn't know, broccoli leaves are delicious!! Eat them like greens, but the cooking time is only a few minutes. Also in soups. Also dried and crushed for protein shakes, and any combo drinks for quick and easy fruit and veggie mix drinks. This year I'll grow more to make some broccoli green chips like kale chips. I'm betting that they will be delicious too. 😃

[@sharpland]

Your winter garden is incredible. Very envious, but encouraging for us to get it right this year! Thanks for sharing your days with us.

[@madisoncluff1724]

Being proficient at cooking and baking is something I wish I had been taught growing up but given my past and what the circumstances were then. I’m 25 and know like 3 basic meals so I’m trying to learn as much as I can from your channel as well as others who I know that have this skill.

[@CB-sr8ee]

Oh yay! I found your channel when I got Covid in 2022 and binge watched everything. I have Covid again and am so happy to see this new video. ❤ love ya’ll. PS-grew my own cowpeas this year and made the Cajun cow pea soup. Sooo yummy. ❤

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Warms my heart to hear you enjoying cowpeas. They are sooo good and unique!!

[@aelovan27]

Seeing your kiddos munching on the harvest is like 😍!

[@maheenkhan9887]

"Sometimes if I have a busy day...." Girl all your days seem so productive and busy!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Haha!! I do like to stay busy with homesteading projects because it helps my mental health! I think making it into videos sometimes makes it seem more busy than it is in reality. We are normal and take breaks too 😉

[@garlicgirl3149]

It is funny how when you teach children learn. My father initially did not want my brothers to learn how to cook but my mom said "NO!" they will learn because if they live alone, she wanted them both to know how to cook and not go out to eat all the time. Be healthy. My brothers are excellent cooks. I call one the Pizza KING. His pizza can rival any restaurant. It's that good.

[@dubrd5926]

Been making whole wheat sour dough bread for 10 years. I grind my hard red wheat berries with my solar grinder, mix it with my solar mixer and cook it in my solar oven. After grinding my wheat I keep the flower in the freezer until needed. The only ingredients in my bread is flower, water and sour dough starter. To me it is the best bread I have ever had. My wife and myself have one slice of the bread each day with humus and avocado. OK, I admit that all appliances in my house are solar powered by my solar system when I am switched to off-grid.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

I’m jealous of your solar set up! That sounds awesome!

[@danielles8712]

I love that you show the baby and don’t blank him out

[@kimberlyearly8918]

I love how involved your kids are. For them to learn to cook at a young age will serve them and their future families well.

[@brianlawson363]

GREAT video. I have tried EVERY recipe under the sun in order to say that I gave kale a fair shake. In the end I know that I just can't STAND it. However, I have discovered that I am crazy about Swiss Chard. I would not have known this had I not tried to find a stand in for the K**E 😅.... I pass on your channel info to family and friends in the hope that they can use your posts to work with their picky eaters. Peace and blessings 🙏.

[@grangegarlic6265]

You are simply amazing. Your energy and authenticity is commendable. Your children are the benefactors, and are so blessed because of you their parents. Well done. We are in Australia and take great inspiration from you efforts to record your life. Thank you

[@crystalmorrell9536]

I love all your videos!! These ones on how you use your stored goods are some of my favorite!! It’s easier to know what to grow but knowing how to store them and what to use them in can be a challenge. So happy to see another fabulous video ❤

[@nerissaangel5200]

Bet those breadsticks would make fabulous croutons

[@willbass2869]

Telling us the seeding, transplant harvest dates on the kale was very useful. Thanks

[@searaholland902]

I love how all the kids just munch on the veggies! Also love seeing them cook/bake.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Us too!

[@allisonjay8631]

Your son grabbing his hair while doing his school at the kitchen table is exactly like mine during homeschool. 😂

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Haha!! 😂

[@desireeclark1503]

I am so impressed with your joy growing and preserving the food. After your last video I decided I was going to plan for a month of meals so I can get experience to have a food storage. The biggest challenge is enjoying what I make.

[@clydesdalehomestead3807]

My whole family loved this video! My son was especially inspired to see your son’s cooking.

[@LittleKi1]

Thanks for the inspiration! I'm on Day 15 of my own pantry challenge of having at least one significant meal a day come almost entirely from the pantry. It helps stave off mid-winter complacency and has already dropped our grocery bill to a pittance this month. Hope you didn't get hammered too hard. I pulled all my root vegetables before the cold hit, glad I did.

[@sgrvtl7183]

It is a JOY to see all your hard work in the garden pays off for your family. It warms my heart that your children are helping in the kitchen. You are a very busy Mother! Riggs is getting so big,,,,wonder how much longer you can carry him around in the 'pouch', Love your Family and love your videos~~!💚💖

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Not much longer with how fast he’s growing. Time flies!!!

[@buckeyedav1]

Great job with following the Pantry Challenge and amazing how many carrots you saved. I am trying to grow carrots again this year I don't know what I am doing wrong they grow but when I harvest they are tiny little nubs this year I am trying I believe the brand is called Ronson from Berlin Seed Company here in Ohio.. another you tuber who is here in Ohio says they grow better in Ohio soil. I can't wait for spring planting such a long way off yet for Ohio. Your son was very confident in his baking great job and using things grown by your family. Anna In Ohio

[@kinkycurlfriend4471]

These are my fave Seasonal Homestead videos! This past Thanksgiving, when I did my biggest harvest of Collards, there were some unlabeled Broccoli plants that hadn’t produced heads yet and the leaves looked exactly like one of my collard varieties but slightly bigger. I harvested them with the collards and they were delicious. Fast fwd to late Dec, the broccoli plants continued to grow and lo and behold, they produced broccoli! That’s when realized I cooked broccoli plant leaves with my collards on Nov. I will never NOT do that! I could not tell the difference!!

[@francismccullick2730]

Love that you share your family and lifestyle with us!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@maryegerton6848]

Fantastic video. You know you’re busy when you are standing in front of the stove cooking food with a coat on 😂 I am madly in love with your lives 😊

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Thanks! Haha yes!!

[@Jasmine.A.555]

Your videos are always so enjoyable to watch. Thank you for how much effort you always put in to give the max amount of information, down to planting dates, weights, and amounts - even weather! You must be a wonderful home school teacher as well. Xx

[@bettyscott4761]

When I started my sourdough journey it was your bread recipe I used first and still use to this day. Thank you!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Oh this is so awesome!!! Glad it worked and continues to work for you 😋🍞

[@samanthafitch952]

Riggs is so stinking adorable! I just love watching your videos! It is such fun watching your children work alongside you🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️ those pumpkin bars looked super yummy! Great job

[@junewrogg6137]

LOVE THIS!!!

[@amysano5424]

Your son is very talented. I love seeing kids cooking/baking

[@amywoodard2852]

Incredible and beautiful and inspiring! The produce looks so healthy and tasty. Your eye for design is very calming and I can trust that I can let you guard down and take in all the good instruction. My greenhouse is dry and bitter. It makes a big difference to have people like you to inspire us gently to do better. Sometimes we can be our own worst critic.

[@catracampolieto8989]

The baby is getting so big.❤ I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking time out of your busy days to film.❤

[@dennisalton2402]

I was wondering you were doing with your Pantry challenge and as I expected extremely well!! Love watching all the children helping harvest the veggies and eating as they head into the house!! Doesn't surprise me they know how to cook or bake either!! You set high standards!! A friend from afar! D

[@millwoodthomas5220]

Garden-to-table cooking is such a great lesson for kids, love it!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Invaluable 👍🏼

Thanks to everyone. I always enjoy and learn from your videos.

That was fun watching your son cook! He’s quite the chef already. Also, I am Jealous that you are still get fresh produce! I live In Wisconsin and, we are the phase of winter where nothing has flavor. Blah…

[@kathleenhughes5149]

Wow another inspiring video thank you❤️love from Australia

[@MrClivelupo]

My Mom caught me in the kitchen as she allowed me to bake my own cake as i was 9 years old and 50 years later i still do it.

[@helenmcclellan452]

Love the celery and all that you are able to grow in the winter.

I baked a ton as a kid! ❤ this makes me miss it a bit but also makes me proud of how much I’ve learned since starting 🎉 love y’all

[@lindakrieger6667]

So happy to see your vlog. Worried about you. Wow, your own fresh veggies in the middle of the winter! Love seeing your kids. They are so fun and family centered. They love you so much. ❤️

Thank you ☺️

I was wondering if you were going to come back. Glad to see you again.

[@suenavivedisfruta558]

Wow! I love that you taught them so many life skills, and they help you cook. I showed my kids the video to motivate them to learn new skills. ❤😊

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

They love cooking, but an additional benefit is it lightens my load too 😅 It’s nice to have helpers for sure!

Enjoyed the video 😊

[@ashrafalaa472]

What a lovely family

[@JayJLucas]

lol I wish I lived in a place like you do…my town has 1 grocery store that is high priced on normal products and “ok” on sale. Once in a while I’ll drive for an hour to get to the small city near me and do a little better. I still agree with the video…but I’m still paying double what you seem to lol. La Croix (or any carbonated water) have become my healthy replacement for pop (or soda I guess you say) ….it took a while to adjust but now I like it. All sorts of flavours since they’re more like hints of a flavour than actually tasting like whatever. I do find the various brands differ quite a bit, bubble size and strength as well as how natural or fake the flavours are….but all a great way to still enjoy a fizzy drink without the sugar or sweeteners.

[@BrandiBohlman]

Long time follower here so I feel like I have a really general understanding of your values for healthy nutritious food and providing the best for your family. I recently came across some information about much of the Himalayan salt on the market testing for heavy metals and contaminants because it's not super regulated. A lot of resources suggest Celtic salt as a better option. Only mentioning it because I noticed you were using Himalayan salt in your bread and it might be worth looking into!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Thanks! I will look into it. We get ours from Azure standard which is usually pretty good about seeking out quality sources.

[@gregbalc8300]

You are the most dedicated young woman. Admire your family and life style!

can you share the pumpkin bar recipe and where the black jacket is from? (you wore it with the black and white stripped shirt ) super cute!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Source for pumpkin bars is linked in the description. The jacket is several years old, it’s probably not sold anymore but I got it from H&M 🙂

[@cindispoo3140]

What are you baking the bread in? I use a Dutch oven but I’m very interested in this!

[@korganrivera4659]

I didn't see White Russian kale on any of your seed lists. Will you be growing it again this year?

[@TheJkilla11]

I really like your oven what brand model is it?

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

GE Cafe ovens. One in induction, one is regular electric.

[@chrisfamjam9582]

I was wondering if you could please tell me how much starter for the breadsticks? Is it 200g? Thank you for all the wonderful content. I've only known of your channel for about a year now but look forward to your uploads. My name is Chris. My family and I are Canadian, but living in Qatar. Watching your incredible gardening definitely reminds me of home!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Yes, 200g starte! So sorry, I just realized I forgot to add that to the list. Thank you so much for the kind comment!

[@rusanne1232]

Wondering about your chickens. Do you leave them Out in minus temperatures? Asking as we are getting chickens and wondering about the cold.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

We make sure their coop is blocked from the wind, and we put extra hay in the roost so they can be that much more insulated. If done right it’s actually pretty warm in there roost with the body heat they all put off 👍🏼
