I have two kids (2.5 and 6weeks) and I don’t homestead but wow I love watching your channel. It’s inspired me to continue to buy beef from a local farmer, make more meals at home and make more from scratch! Thanks for creating these videos and sharing your life ❤

[@utopicconfections5257]

I began making hamburger buns over a year ago. What a difference than those gross store bought ones. I like to add about a cup of mashed potatoes or 1/2 cup of potato flakes for really tender buns. They hold together better and don't get soggy like store bought buns. I also canned some carrots this week with jars that were on the counter.....maybe the best tip I've learned from your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@rosalynreasor4950]

Sweet Jessica, thanks for reminding us how important it is to make real food for our families that nourish both their bodies and souls. I too have family members with dietary restrictions and get inspiration from the adjustments you make to make my own and provide safe, tasty meals.

[@tamaleenyouknowwhatimean777]

I sure wish all this information had been around when I was a young mother. Now I’m a young grandmother so it’s fun to show my children that it’s possible to do so much at home. They don’t feel they have the time or find it helpful, oh well. I truly appreciate all your efforts to show us how you do things. Love and blessings to you and the family.

[@annswann1941]

Jessica I always enjoy how you care for your family. I agree with you about home made bread being better and I have a goal to bake for my daughter’s family. Growing up my parents had a little country grocery store attached to our house so we ate outdated bread from the store. I think that’s why I’ve never cared much for bread. I’m still amazed at how good fresh bread is

[@daralynnhale1565]

these are one of my favorite "series" So much I can implement into my weekly meals for the grand twins and adults. Nutritious and tasty for our families! Thank you again Jessica!!!!

[@PureLace]

Burgers, fries and coleslaw 🤩 Probably one of my favourite combos. It really is a gift to ourselves to prep different items for later in the week. I just made muffins, apple crisp and a couple pumpkin breads yesterday. I'm always grateful when I put the work in up front so it gives me time for other things later in the week, especially when it's some relaxation!

[@TheEGA4421]

Homemade cole slaw is the best!

[@dianaburns6879]

Whether its a tip for using leftovers in new and inspiring ways or ideas for the many different ways to preserve foods, I always learn something new from your videos. The grace and peace in which you live and share your life always leaves us inspired . Thank you.

[@playcolumbus2413]

Insect netting off Amazon completely takes care of cabbage moths. We grow all the brassicas without issue and no sprays!

[@MH-gc2hr]

I'm so impressed with how nourishing and healthy your meals are. I find it difficult to be frugal and do that, and I don't like cheesy casseroles every night. Picking up some tips!

[@kelly-annejenner486]

Hannah looks so adorable when she’s eating. Takes me back to when mine started their first foods ❤

[@ellenradford8582]

Okay, that ballerina has an incredible high kick!!!

[@karenw9996]

Outside the US it's juice if it's alcohol free, cider if alcoholic. For those of you outside the US, here we call it juice if ALL solids have been strained out of the juice or if a steam juicer has been used (so it's cooked, basically), if it's raw and there's a small amount of tiny solids we call it cider. If it has alcohol we call it HARD cider.

[@kelliejackson1191]

All children love hamburger and French fries. All of the food looked delicious!

[@bethchance9913]

Good Sunday morning ❤️..

[@carolmalko615]

What a wonderful video today. Love to see how you feed your large family... and all from scratch. You absolutly amaze me, Jessica. Btw, if you ever have that pulp leftover from making milk and you don't use it up in some recipe, feed it to your chickens and turn it into eggs! My girls go gaga when they see me coming out with that special bowl, lol. I admire so much how you never let anything go to waste.

[@ginnypennington1426]

Good frosty morning from SE Ohio!

[@mandiesplace]

My grandmother always made applesauce bread. I absolutely loved it! I have never made it for my family. Now is the time! Thank you for the reminder!

[@janicew6222]

Thank you for another great Sunday morning video, love spending time with your family, blessings!

[@cassandras1688]

That meal looked delicious! I love you showing us how to use the freeze dried smoothie - NEVER would’ve thought of doing that - and making the cashew milk. Hannah is adorable and such a happy baby. TFS

[@thedirtyhoehomestead]

You are amazing! ❤. My kids are all grown and out of the house, how I wish I would have had KZbin available to learn from when they were young. Our dream is to get freeze dryer someday. Wow! Now my goal is to make dairy free milk. I have issues with dairy so this is amazing and I love the fact that you don't add major sugar to sweeten it. ❤

[@robertlefler5598]

Can't believe how big Hannah has gotten! So sweet!

[@crystalaker8169]

Your hamburger supper and your French fry & eggs breakfast looked delicious!

[@marilyncarter9282]

I love watching you with your children. I am going to make my first sour kraut this week. I’m making it with a 90year old man friend of ours. We are using his mom’s recipe. I am so excited not just for making the kraut but having such a knowledgeable teacher. Love from Missouri

[@annabellapalme4992]

These are my favorite videos ! Also a Canadian from Québec :)

[@stephsteph5755]

Fancy meal? No one needs a fancy meal all the time, that looks amazing !!!!

[@user-rf1zf5jb9c]

I love to make plant based yogurt. I use soy milk for ours and I use that yogurt for salad dressings too. I have frozen a small jar of it, so that I can use that as my culture rather than buying one. It used to work when I made yogurt from milk, so I am hoping that it will work for the plant based as well.

[@battlearmanda]

Thanks for the tip about the cake carrier for other baked goods. I'd never thought of that!

[@juliepaquet2360]

I just did the applesauce loaf. I did it in muffin size and it was perfect for a dozen of big muffins. I cooked it for 20 min. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

[@cdavid2486]

Thank you Jessica! I have applesauce bread in the oven as I watch your video! Thank you for the wonderful ideas. I thought your burger meal was beautiful. I know your kids appreciate all the hard work you put into growing their healthy bodies.

[@cynthiawhitcomb1780]

Love the hamburger buns.

[@nicholecoleman6924]

Good morning!

[@deeengstrom2055]

Another Sunday morning of enjoying one of your videos as I drink my first cup of coffee. Thank you so much Jessica. I just love them.

[@raynonabohrer5624]

You have such good helpers. . You are an inspiration. Children who have special allergies. God bless you and pray that everybody stays safe and well.. Awesome saying hello to Adam. I really believe sometimes fathers are neglected. .

[@writerdeb]

As usual, these Sunday morning videos go waaaaay too fast! I love visiting with you and your family every week, and I think you all are the sweetest of humans! God bless, and thanks!!

[@katechron]

Thank you for taking the time to share your kitchen and your life! We recently began our dairy free journey and I appreciate your recipes and resources for being dairy free, but also homemade and nutritious. I put into practice your planner advice and was able to really improve my ability to manage homeschooling a large family and various other responsibilities. Thanks, again, for sharing these aspects of your life for the benefit of others!

[@miss_mish]

I was almost asleep and you posted. Either you're late or on daylight saving. Eitherway 10pm Sunday night & I'm watching. Have a blessed week.

[@threerivershomestead]

Daylight Savings time here

[@kdonor]

Daylight saving time just ended a week ago.

[@Buff19]

I just sent my mother in law a message asking for her applesauce bread recipe…must be the season bc it sounded good to me too.

[@Phos4us2]

Dairy free here, too. Adding a little bit of Pamona's pectin to nut milk yogurts makes a thick and creamy yogurt. And no gumminess. Or extra sugars, etc.

[@jamiewilhelm1388]

How do you make it? I buy all my dairy free yogurt I don't any equipment

[@lailayen765]

Hi! Thank you again for an interresting video!❤ Just a tip. I also make my youghurt from coconut-milk. I use 1 tsp of corn starch pr pint of milk, just as the coconut milk have melted, before it's warm. I heat it to 180 F. and that helps thickening, or binding the wey to the cream after it's chilled. I cool it to the right youghurt temp (107F) , before I add a couple of tablespoons of leftover youghurt from a different batch, or powdered culture. You could also probably use tapioka, or what you call the stuff you use to thicken your sauces with. No gelatine or anything. It makes a smooth and lovely youghurt. ❤Be blessed!

[@SandfieldBunny84]

Happy Sunday beautiful to you and your family❤. Sending you love all the way from Sandfield, Mississippi.

[@jfarm8854]

Jessica, love your channel! I look forward to this Sunday morning inspiration.

[@angelapitkin7097]

I say to my daughter when we are harvesting our fruit and veg from the allotment Jessica would be proud of us.

[@WellaWally65]

Your videos warm up my heart, Ms. Jessica. Your recipes are so wholesome and pure. Hannah is so adorable! My goodness! She’s so cute! God bless her! Thank you so much for sharing all this with us. May God bless you all with health, happiness, and love.

[@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340]

You're definitely building healthy habits and bodies in your children. Convenience foods already made in the store aren't healthy at all. Many of our grocery food products are banned in other countries, because of the toxic ingredients, I'm sure you know. These are the best meals. Truly a proverbs woman.

[@tammymanuel9158]

Good Sunday morning. Its always a pleasure to watch your videos. The kids are fun to watch, especially moss Hannah. Lol 💜 Her expressions are adorable. Shes growing up so darn fast. Love the idea of the applesauce bread. Gonna have to try it soon. My grandkids would love it. I make apple butter and applesauce each year when I find apples on sale. Yum yum. God bless you and the family and be safe out there.🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜

[@karenw9996]

Apparently it was the year of the cabbage moth/cabbage butterfly, as I've heard many say they had a poor harvest. This year was my first attempt at growing cabbage, and I ended up giving them all to my sister for her chickens. It was not my first year to grow kohlrabi, but for the first time ever, the insects decimated the plants...completely stripped them of leaves, so that they never developed. I put in three plantings, and harvested ONE kohlrabi! I've bought some netting now, so next year I'll be prepared.

[@janiceaucoin1435]

Thank you! Everything looked delicious. Hannah is a cutie!

[@kcnelsonmueller]

I absolutely love your channel. I always get at least one new idea from you every time I watch your videos. Thank you for taking your time to put these together. I can’t wait to try that applesauce loaf you made! It looks delicious. And I’ve never thought about using my cake container to store loaves of bread before. What a fantastic idea. I’m going to pull mine down and get it washed up and ready to use.

[@elizabethlink3993]

💚 Jessica, thank you so much for sharing another great vlog..Hannah is getting so big and really loved that rehydrated smoothie..and watching her ballerina big sister! 💚

[@GodISSovereign17]

I’m always amazed at how much you accomplish in a day! Especially with having a baby! Whenever I’m able to get all my baking and prep done, I think of you and feel I’m having a “Jessica Day”! I’m always inspired by you to waste less, and use more. Thanks for taking the time to share your tips! Also, where do you buy your nursing dresses from? You always look modest and beautiful, and I’m on the hunt for some. Blessings

[@JaneDay]

Forget fancy, you do fabulous ❤

[@irenesoutar1254]

I always enjoy your videos, I learn new things all the time. God bless.

[@alystodola]

Thank you Jessica for sharing your sink strainer trick!! It works so well! And for cheap too!

[@ellenradford8582]

You make it look so easy to scratch cook items! I am definitely getting ready to do this cause I am really sad about how processed items are now and especially gluten-free store-bought ones

[@lindarichey4689]

I love applesauce on homemade bread. Childhood memories

[@luizamorris4347]

Unrelated to this video but I was looking up your grain mill and went to your amazon store front for that and noticed the bosch mixer is 27% off if anyone is interested.

[@rebeccamardis6786]

You probably make oatmilk as well then ??! May I suggest a vid where you do your various milks?? I Enjoy & share your content on a reg ...thank you for sharing all you do 😊 ( we're also residing in Ohio, near Lake Erie)

[@ht6684]

Good morning.

[@lisabaubeau8440]

When I need that push to get up and get out of bed ( I live alone) I watch your videos and it gives me the motivation I need. God bless you and your family you have no idea how many people you have help with your videos, and love the new hair style

[@09echols]

I love a good homemade yogurt

[@ginnypennington1426]

I canned 20 cans of Turkey with broth and 17 quarts of broth this week! That will make a lot of meals for the two of us.

[@MFV77]

How many pounds of turkeys did that require? Pints, I guess?

[@simplecountryliving7555]

You are such a great cook. I love your channel .

[@aramintaverwys1934]

Hi Jessica ❤❤❤!!! Happy Home Church Day!!! Sending prayers and hugs to you and your beautiful family. Keep that smile on, it looks fabulous on you!! Your Michigan Fan and Friend Araminta 😊😊😊

Fabulous. Hannah is growing so much and is so contented amongst your beautiful family.

[@bilakemrisner]

luv how you don't let nothing go to waste

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Very good. Thank you. Blessings

[@maureenmolleron747]

You are an inspiration to those with food allergies. I don't have any, but I will pass this on to friends who do. Never canned foods. But, I used to make bread on a weekend to freeze for the week. I was in University and it was cheaper than buying bread.

[@judymcintire8061]

This was very enjoyable & I think your food looks delicious! Ty Jessica for sharing your recipes & smart ideas!😊

[@cindymccarty4454]

I learn from your scratch cooking. Have a great and blessed week with your beautiful family.

[@LittleHomesteadOnHinerPond]

What blessed kids to get to eat such yummy food. I’m hungry now!

[@marieriddel5915]

Looks all very delicious thank you for sharing

[@kimg5784]

Thank you!

[@ellenradford8582]

That freeze dried ice cream is called Astronaut ice cream you can buy and loads if museums.

[@juliemoore6957]

I just pressure canned my first batch of chicken stock! Learning the "old ways" is so exciting!

[@shonJ17]

I truly love your videos!! ❤

[@dorothyglidewell3847]

Love your videos thank you God bless

[@poodledaddles1091]

Love the videos, and the reminder of the families food allergies.

[@journeywithnichole]

Can’t wait to try the applesauce loaf! Looks delicious. I use your fruit cobbler recipe at least once a week! One of the few things I can bake successfully. Thank you!

[@user-rp5gj9cs5f]

You’re amazing cook. Wow

[@kdonor]

The hamburger meal looked really good. It all looked good but those stood out to me.

[@joanneschell8324]

Watching your videos calms my soul❤️❤️❤️

[@elizabethmcgowan9743]

I always enjoy these videos Thank you so much 💕

[@Imjetta7]

I wish I’d had your ideas while I was raising my children. I’m a mom of 7, but I was not as creative as you 30 years ago.

[@tinasmith7890]

I love watching your channel. I look forward every week for a video from you. Alot of the time I go back and watch your old videos while I'm waiting.

[@408Dolly]

You are awesome! You are a wealth of knowledge. probiotics are very dangerous for babies.

[@jfeljon7027]

Hi Jessica! I truly enjoy all the things you do and love watching. :). I hope you and your beautiful family have a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving.

[@ellenradford8582]

In the south we call alcoholic cider HARD CIDER and soft drinks. Instead of Alcoholic beverages.

[@dianemarino4860]

Love watching your food prep videos and what you use to make things. Also, the baby is getting so big!

[@kaybusby7507]

Another busy week with great food for your family. Thank you for sharing

Thanks for sharing

[@lorijensen4387]

I enjoy your sweet videos! Now time to get ready for church. 😊

[@dinahquillen9380]

That was a wonderful video, gained a new recipe and meal plan. Miss Hannah is growing up too fast, she is adorable.

[@lindajames4122]

Everything looked delicious, I am going to make your hamburger buns and the applesauce loaf. Thanks for the recipes. Have a wonderful day Jessica.

[@cindynance7289]

Wow, my mouth is watering! Everything looks yummy! Your family is blessed! And happy!! It’s been a joy to watch! I always get excited for Sundays and a new video. Hugs from Ohio!

[@katysudlow7334]

Those lids really are great!!! Almost through my first 100 sleeve of narrow mouth lids 😮. Glad I got both the narrow and wide because I apparently have way more narrow jars now than I used to since I've been making lots of jams and jellies in your inspiration (among so much else but you really are inspiring!). The kids sure aren't complaining. Anyways the lids have sealed fabulously. I was skeptical because I prefer to buy made in the US (or Europe or Canada) things especially with food, but these are far superior to the Ball and Kerr lids of recent makes. So thank you again for recommendation and as always for your videos where you teach us so much.

[@lynsmith2698]

Hi Jessica. I love your channel. I also love your meals, good clean wholesome food. Thank you 🌷🇨🇦

[@ellenradford8582]

I am amazed you are making a Hamburger joint menu and it will be healthy!!
