Cooking what we grow. Let's make supper!

Your kids will look back on their childhood and be so thankful for the nutritious and 5 star worthy meals you created. What a fantastic way to show love to your family!

hi...

This is how life is meant to be lived. The rat-race and city life is a false dream.

Shaye, I am in awe of your gardens, both flower and vegetable. Your home and land and all that surrounds you is truly heaven on earth.

[@suzyq6767]

Living in a tent this summer without running water or electricity, I’ve had to learn to do things like my great great grandmother. Each morning I put a pot of beans to soak. Then I rinse and drain yesterday’s beans, bring them to a boil, and stick them in the sun oven. Then I mix up some bread dough to cook in a skillet for a grilled veggie lunch wrap. Then I make morning oats or farinata aka very veggie vegan omelet. I have a tiny garden but get most of my veg from the farmer down the road. Next year we’ll put in the big garden, greenhouse, orchard, flowers, herbs, and berries. But before this new adventure we lived in AZ, where we learned to do outdoor work from 4 am until mid morning before the heat hit in full force. Living through the hottest summer in NE Wa ever, i have continued this practice. I cooked like that three meals a day when my five kids (and their million friends) were home. Now, I cook lots of fresh veg for myself and husband. I miss the crazy busy days but am grateful that they taught me how to work my systems. Systems kept me from overwhelm and burn out-still do.

[@sarahrickman6609]

You should have a channel. So many people have had to make this their new normal because of this crazy world. But people need to know how you live. Suppose someone wants land and they have to live in a tent on their homestead before they can build the house. I'd be interested.

[@terrafirma75]

@@sarahrickman6609 me too, I second this. I am in awe of people who actually do this. It takes grit.

[@andreacremeans1055]

@@sarahrickman6609 I have actually had to do this. We actually stayed in a tent traveling to the land. Then we stayed in a small camper for nearly 3 years while working on our home.

[@sarahrickman6609]

I have always thought it would be cool if someone on KZbin had a channel where they could showcase what it must have been like for the women back in the Bible says when they lived in tents. I have looked and could never find anything like that on KZbin.

Omg, you are amazing Shaye! I am truly the happiest when I am either doing something creative with decor, working on our garden or cooking! Love these recipes! ❤

[@terrafirma75]

We sat down to a supper where everything but the salt and pepper came from our homestead, the ham, the new potatoes, the butter, the wine, the veg... it is such an incredible feeling. I’m making that salad tonight! Thanks for sharing.

[@danalewis1535]

The white beans, roasted tomatoes, onions, little garlic and diced turkey on a bed of quinoa was amazing. Thank you for the idea.

Oh dear, do hang in there. The west's summers are such a toil to get through, but it's worth it to grow your own food. I live in the central valley of California and everyday is an assault of smoke from the fires and heat.

[@beccam507]

This was gorgeous. You did such a nice job on the photography, the music, the voice over, everything! And you gave me some motivation to use my veggies from our garden in more inspired and elevated ways... I can get stuck in a rut. I've made way too much zucchini bread this year (not that my kids are complaining 😁).

[@colleenwnek3404]

Thank you, Shea! So I'm in Massachusetts and don't have children but I feel you in the yearning for growing our own food and bringing it into the kitchen to process and share with loved ones (and yes, it's hot as heck here right now so I'll try your flatbread skillet recipe). Really, what I wanted to say was cooking tonight and watching your vlog while I was doing it was very in the feels for me. What a connection. And the jazz! My husband travel to NYC in the autumn every year. It's kind of our New Year because he proposed to me on the Brooklyn Bridge and the jazz you're playing with your vlogs is hitting me in a good place. Plan...improvise...do what we can in our own kitchens...share it with our loved ones...create and share the journey....jazzy indeed and my heart is full. xoxo Colleen

​@@terrafirma75 Yes it is a tragedy for the entire region and they do all need prayer. My thoughts and distress have largely been with the underground church that has been growing there for the last decade. There may be a slaughter headed their way.

Beautiful. Here in northeastern Ontario it’s been a rainy summer. The last frost was late, and I haven’t had to water this garden all summer long. I was actually worried it was getting too soggy. Things aren’t as productive as it should be, but it’s good enough for me. I just did some green tomato relish and pickled some tomatoes as well yesterday. But my cucumbers are really small and my peppers aren’t turning red. When I get something out of the garden, I am that much more appreciative of it. It’s getting sunny now, so here’s hoping things pick up. Peace and love and thanks for sharing. 💕

This is truly amazing. I'm so happy to see that people still believe in making home-cooked meals and eating together as a family. I feel as if this tradition is dying along with the new generation. Let's try to keep this alive as long as we possibly can. Family is truly so important.
