A Week of MEALS from My HOMESTEAD Kitchen | FREEZER FRIENDLY!

[@Just-Nikki]

Awww, you never need to apologize. This is your channel and you don’t owe anyone anything 🫶

[@Mel-vu9ss]

I really love your channel. I refer to it often for recipes or ideas. But just now hearing you praise Jesus. Bring tears. We need so much more of that in our world right now. Thank you for being so outward about Jesus. It’s the little things such as that catch me off guard and make me so much more thankful for Him. ❤

Ya know that cookie cutter you used for the biscuits, maybe you could you that for cutting out the eggs for the bagel sandwiches? Then your kids wouldn't be put off by the square eggs. Just a thought. Lovely recipes, thanks for sharing!!

[@Just-Nikki]

I never think to freezer meals so I will give it a go. We do lots of baked oats in the cooler months, they’re so satisfying, yours look very yummy. I also usually only cook three times a week. People are always telling me they don’t have time to cook or cook from scratch and honestly, I think many of them spend more time ordering and waiting on delivery or sitting in a drive thru.

[@cindynance7289]

Oh what a beautiful video! I love the voice over! It’s a little late in my life, but it doesn’t stop me from wishing to be more like you! You are doing a great job at Mommy, Wife and a teacher to all of us! Thank you for spending time to lead us through a homesteader’s life and the love you show your friends and church. Glad you’re feeling better! Hugs from Ohio!

[@cassandras1688]

Your meals always look so gourmet! The beef stew with biscuits looked so rich! TFS and being so generous to your friends! The canned meal will give them an idea of what to expect and how to put a meal Together when canning.

[@susanhickman1746]

Just a calm, easy to watch and listen to your video. The meals each looked delicious and I’m sure they’ll be most welcomed by your friends. Thx for sharing! Susan

all the recipes come from My Mom and our dairy farm unless stated otherwise In the summer we would have family and friends come over for a Bar-be-cue which included Barbecue meat from animals we raised and butchered ourselves. The old fashion Ice Cream cranks (at least 2) with old towel for one of the kids to set on and several people to turn the crank. After my Mom died I took her Brown recipe box and any other special recipes and saved them to my Recipe files. I also took her favorite recipes from all her Farm Journal cookbooks and put in my file. Along with a Family Recipe book I made years ago for each of my brothers(3) and sisters (2) and mine and made it for each of my brothers & sisters and their children and my Mom for Christmas presents. I am so glad I did because both my parents are dead and my oldest sister and 2 of my brothers. Now my nieces and nephews and my 3 teen grandchildren will have those recipes.

[@carmentrevino4704]

Thank you for posting a video, even though you don't feel completely recovered. Love your channel. Prayers for you and your family, that you all completely recover.♥️🧓😘

[@erikalouwrens3992]

I wish more people would find time to start eating & living healthy. Thank You & God’s Blessings Just one small request Could you please lower the background music in some of your videos? Makes it hard to hear your words in some videos Thank You ❤️❤️❤️

[@kathleenritter4532]

Hope you are getting your energy back. The lasagna recipe looks scrumptious. Yum!! Thanks for the ideas. Congrats to your friends on new baby. Hope they are all doing well.

[@karlaasplund9500]

That lasagna looks amazing! Thanks

[@donnacobb701]

It’s Friday and my chance to hang out with Kelsey in her kitchen !

[@CherylHamburger]

What a treasure you are to your friends. So important for new parents.

[@deborahstewart2322]

I would have never thought about cooking eggs in the oven, will have to try that for the grandkids!

[@girlwithaplan1680]

Thank you for a wonderful video! I always look forward to the ending, I enjoy reading the scripture passage you chose. God bless you.

[@juliedayton8754]

Praying health & wholeness over your family, sister. It sure seems like whenever there is a change in the "spiritual" atmosphere....sickness is crouching around the corner trying to keep us from feeling well enough to pray into what is happening. Which is why, I believe, God places people in our path who will commit to praying for & over us. Beautiful garden... still displaying for us the splendor of their majestic Creator ☺️❤️🌼🌸

[@Dindasayswhynot]

What a beautiful thought. I have been so sick for well the whole year as in clear back to last july, I am so grateful for everyone who has prayed for me has there been a lot of times when the extent of my prayers have been "Heavenly Father HELP ME!!".

[@juliedayton8754]

@@Dindasayswhynot Yes.... oftentimes I can only muster up His name.....JESUS!!! What a powerful name it is ❤️ May all the Lord has for you sister... be made manifest in THIS SEASON! We declare the days of delay....are over!

[@lynnebrown-hardy1566]

What a blessing the meals are to your friends that just had a baby. They all looked so yummy!

[@lorita3488]

my favorite summer recipe it is so easy if everything is in the freezer: THREE FRUIT SHERBET Ingredients: 1/2 cup whipping cream 1 ripe banana, cut in pieces 1/2 can (6 oz.) frozen orange juice concentrate, slightly thawed Ingredients: 1 (13 1/2 oz.) bag/can frozen pineapple chunks, broken in pieces Recipe instructions: Put all ingredients into blender container; blend just till combined. Spoon into freezer tray/container. Freeze till firm.

[@fuzzles93]

I love your balance between homemade and store bought convenience. When you said you still have chicken fingers and smiley fries on hand I laughed cuz that’s the truth and I’m the same. Love a good home cooked meal but honestly kids don’t always make it easy lol

[@marylambert3368]

Both your content and you are beautiful 💚🙏🌿

[@Tradsweetheart]

I love the recipes and God is always good

[@LoriBacon-um7qf]

[@kelleyamador8838]

You have such great content. I’ve been binge watching you and I think you are very talented and sweet!

[@maryclarke9894]

Of course we understand! Two dinner recipes and breakfasts is a lot, especially at the height of garden season and the in the heat of summer. They are much appreciated. I really want to try all of these except the beef one (just not my taste). I hope you're feeling better. Your garden is lovely. Thank you for all you do.

[@katescaringcorner6765]

Wonderful recipes to put in my rotation. Thank you! You didn’t look anything but fully concentrated on your work and happy to do so. I’m so glad your house illnesses are on the upswing. I love to wait to the end of your video to see your quote! Just like one of the priests in my parish that has a dad joke at the end of the Mass after he gives the blessing for the week. It keeps a lot of people staying after not only communion but til the blessing too. May you be as blessed, Kelsey, as you bless others in your life. ❤

[@ranakacir3893]

I am drooling over that lasagna. That and your other recipes will be going on my August meal plan. I have been loving following you in your garden. It is beautiful. I have been taking notes for my garden. I hope you are feeling better soon. Have a restful weekend.

[@roxananunez4238]

[@mt1885]

[@myrnabayne7961]

Love your channel. Take care of yourself!❤

[@iartistdotme]

The garden is still so lovely! The meals are sure to be appreciated by your friend and her family. I love to watch you cook - your photography up close is so inspiring. I need to go buy some beef and get busy canning some carrots. I had said I wouldn't anymore since the taste is off putting but they are so easy and good for you and I do love ginger so got to give it a try. Glad you are on the easier side of your cold. Thanks for this video!

[@vickiiluvboxers4191]

♥♥♥ Always a blessing to see you!

[@janetfuhrmaneck3149]

You put so much love into your cooking!

[@gloriadavidson8599]

Girl your food is so mouthwatering 😋😋😋😋😋😋 Loved the video ❤❤❤ Take care 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love from the UK x

[@mybraxtonburns]

Your meals look scrumptious!

[@mykalazig]

look at that cute intro logo!!🥳 so happy to hear you are feeling better, praying that you and your family catch a long break without any sickness especially during the non-cold and flu season. Thank you as always for blessing us with your content!💜

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

Your videos never disappoint! Great ideas as always. Have a great weekend!

[@bahiyasalie8021]

Hi there, wonderful video today....loved the new intro, saying hi from South Africa ❤

[@sergeb957]

I have a good time watching your cooking. I made a banana pancake and it's so delicious. God bless you and protect your family.

[@kittyrichards9915]

Take care. I am also getting over a summer cold. Thanks for the Bible verse.

[@danbowers8346]

Thank you for that tip about the sprouted oatmeal. I have definitely thought that as well. I am going to try that next time. 🙏

[@jenfa582]

The Bagels look great, will try these! 😊

[@mariajohnson6400]

❤ Absolutely loved your video.

[@RenitaKurtz]

Love your cooking show.

[@wanderflower]

We get these oats too and also find the texture different/that they stay harder even after cooking or baking! Thanks for the tip about the food processor :) I'll give that a try!

[@Jaynes-Path]

Everything always looks really yummy, especially those pancakes and the chicken lasagna. At first I thought you looked upset but the more I watched the more I thought you looked bone tired. I have issues from a accident that happened to me, breaking both knees, wrist and my spine. Some days it's hard to stand and prepare dinner without taking a break. You looked like that, like if I could just go sit down and be done. I hope this is the last round of illness for you and your family for a long time. It's hard to avoid all the colds with young children.

[@wendyrudder5809]

That was beautiful Kelsey!! Feel better soon❤❤

[@connielouhoo]

your meals look delicious. Hope you are feeling better.

[@HuberRhonda]

Awwww.. the golden hour!!! Fabulous 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@sandykamenicky7366]

OMG…all these recipes look sooo delicious! They’re going on my meal plan pronto 😍

[@neliaschmidt2638]

The lasagne will for sure be tried, looks yum! In my house almost every dinner starts with chopping an onion 😂

[@crazybeccarf4222]

Awesome video as always. You have become my favorite channel and I look forward to all your new videos. Tysm for all the great information. You have really taught me so much. 😊😊

[@rocketcityyardstead]

Everything looks delicious, but that lasagna in particular...I've got to give it a try!

[@Just-Nikki]

I make the canned carrots but I like to add pepper infused honey or maple syrup to serve.

[@canadiannavywife434]

Lucky number 238 to like, and I have shared and commenting currently. I made biscuits too... Cheddar, Maple, & Everything Bagel flavoured... SO GOOD.... Hugs from Esquimalt and now to watch the show.

[@theresaegbuniwe5808]

Great video!!

[@Just-Nikki]

Those pancakes are happening! I can only freeze so many bananas for smoothies 😂

[@suzanneangus1912]

Hi from new Zealand love your videos if you don’t like cooking with wine what can I use was going to do your beef recipe in this video

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Hello! More beef broth would be perfectly fine!

[@tiffineyw.641]

Did you add coconut aminos to the carrots that you omitted when canning?

[@nanar.8088]

Taste is what matters to those that enjoy the foods, most times, ugliest taste best😂

[@Just-Nikki]

What red wine do you like for cooking? The beef pie filling is very similar to a beef stew canning recipe I use but I want to try different wine for it.

[@Ing127-v3m]

❤

[@jessicabenjamin-i4z]

@seedandsparrowhomestead we love the brand of oats that you used in the video but I haven’t seen a bag that large before, can I ask where you might have gotten it from? Thanks 😊

[@jessicabenjamin-i4z]

😂 Helps if I watch the video the whole way through before commenting 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@janetgrooms]

Wonderful video ❤
