Summer Dinner Ideas | From Scratch Meals for our Family of 7

[@hicoastie]

I love that your whole family is involved in the process of planting, maintaining, harvesting and preparing the food. They are going to have awesome life skills as adults. That is priceless.

[@DixieBelleAcres]

Here's where I've had a bit of an epiphany. I've always loved the way you feed your family but today it dawned on me. You're not just eating to eat. Everything is so purposeful and it feels like a form of worship. It's beautiful.

[@Bonds2Sims0606]

Hello NWArkansan neighbor. First of all I love your channel! I also love that your children do their own laundry. I was raised on a large farm in the 70's, washed my own laundry and owned my own sewing machine by age 10. Folks would be surprised how many HS/College age kids don't or won't do their laundry. You guys are fantastic parents and your children will always appreciate what you've taught them. 😊

[@wendyhall8834]

Becky I loved this video! All hands on deck! Cooking together! Your recipes sound scrumptious! It all looked fantastic! Please do more of these healthy cooking videos! You inspire me!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Thank you!

[@RyanMercer]

Nice :)

[@ttocselbag5054]

Y’all are some seriously disciplined workaholics on that there homestead! 😁🙏

[@rust-2450]

Mind was just blown by turning basil into pesto and freezing it! Why haven’t I thought of that?? Thank you!

[@amyparker1762]

@rust-2450 if you have a smaller family like I do, you can make the pesto then freeze it into ice cube trays. Once frozen I pop the pesto cubes out of the tray and put the cubes into a ziplock bag and toss the bag back into the freezer. This allows you to grab out just enough cubes for the number of servings you’re cooking for. Enjoy!

[@cbass2755]

Omg….your baby!! 🤣🤣 loved the surprise!!

[@osg124]

I just started making extra bacon whenever I cook it. I take the extra chop it, spread it out on a pan stick it in the freezer for 1hr then put it into ziplocs and store it in the freezer, for those moments where bacon would make it better😝!! These recipes look so good! Thank you!

[@emkn1479]

Love the idea of a grain bowl, especially when there are different dietary preferences or restrictions in the same home. Makes it easy to customize. I’m doing that! Easy, fresh, healthy summer fare 🙌

[@suburbanhomesteadliving9212]

God bless you, sister! ❤

[@OurLadyFarms]

Awesome! Can you please do a video of what you’re showing for fall and what you intend to continue for winter harvest?!?

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

I'll try!

[@jessicaolson413]

This is so incredibly inspiring!! I'm sure it was a lot of work to put together but I would love more videos like this in the future!!

[@carlafawcett3851]

Love the cameo of baby : )

[@samanthafitch952]

Everything looks so yummy! All of your sense of humors are adorable! Such fun to watch! It’s so great to see parents teaching children responsibilities, your children are such kind souls🙏🏻❤️

Precious FAMILY!😇!😇!😇!😇!😇!😇!😇!

[@davidradzik1379]

Your family is a machine. There is a whole different revenue source here as a family coach. I am 27 years military and can't get my kids to clear a dinner table without threatening push ups a a 2 mile run. Well done family keep lifting each other.

[@shawneegrows]

This was such a good video of ways to cook what you grow. I enjoyed seeing the kitchen tools you use in action. Harvest to table.

[@jennajulianne6178]

THANK YOU FOR THE RECIPES!!!! I can't express how much inspiration you give to me!!!!! I love your entire family! Thank you for sharing your homestead with us. I pattern my life after yours. Thank you Brother Porter for supporting your wife! What a great man ! Thank you children for supporting your Mother! You make me and my children smile and get excited to garden together. You give me hope. Your family ROCKS!!!

[@lauvie6528]

Loved, loved this as usual.

[@debeforesara]

I loved the baby cameo!! I’m hopeful our chicken friend is going to show up.

[@kathyme2882]

I loved this video and the many recipes you showed us❤. Is it possible to a do a future video on more homemade snacks please?

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Good idea!

[@kathyme2882]

@@TheSeasonalHomestead Thank you for considering my idea.

[@Alieombaba]

Love that you mentioned vegan or vegetarian 🌱 ❤ 🥲🥲🥲🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💗💗💗 God bless you!

[@MiindGames]

Yum! Thanks for sharing. Smoked home-raised pork sounds wonderful! I also loved the variety of breads.

[@reneelavoie9807]

So appetizing!❤

[@tinawagener7942]

I absolutely love this video! Not only was it great to watch your family come together and work on the meal, but the food looks fantastic! And very doable. I hope you’ll make more of these meal prep videos. 🌻

[@aramintaverwys1934]

Becky, you inspire me every single day. Thank you for being YOU in the videos. You are a rock star!!!! I just am amazed at every video where you are just showing the truth of homesteading. I just want to say THANK YOU for sharing your life with all of us. ❤❤❤ Your Michigan Fan, Araminta (air-a-mint-a)😊😊😊

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Thank you!! 💚

[@MadamGahan]

Hi, How are you doing ? ☺ Your crêpes are so appetizing, omg ! Love your vlogs. Salty, savoury crêpes in France are called galettes, "Galettes Bretonnes" more precisely. The dough (like a crêpes dough) is made exclusively with "Sarazin flour" (the Bretons are chauvinists ;) , & it's delicious. You should love it, you who already love French cuisine. Good Sunday ! 🙏

[@leahsmith8936]

Loved this! Very inspiring and looks fantastic. I grew up with Friday night, cleanups and keeping the sabbath… where are you guys seventhSeventh-day Adventist? we always had big gardens and lots of fresh food. So refreshing to see, so healthy.

[@lashondawilliams7148]

I love how the new baby made a pop up❤!!

[@sgrvtl7183]

All the recipes are delilcious! Always love seeing the family together whether be cooking, in the garden at the table, and Cruz holding Baby Riggs at meal time was heartfelt💚 You create beautiful videos, a busy Family, and a wholesome upbringing for the children ~💖

[@debbieyzuel7887]

Everything looks delicious. What a beautiful family you have.

[@jrocksgrave]

Hi ! There is a savory Crepe version in France from the region named Bretagne (Brittany) they also have a Buckweat version of it, it is call Galette au Sarrazin :) Love all the recipes. Love from France :)

[@feltlikeitbydebs]

Thank you for sharing not only great meal ideas but your family rituals.

[@gracefulbeauty1985]

Wright’s Barbecue is amazing! They catered our wedding in NWA. Love your videos!

[@brittneysherin5160]

17:57 min mark is so so adorable.

[@mariasonderman5785]

So jealous of all that yummy food!!

[@cynthia6919]

You do a great job of teaching your kids about nutrition and how beautiful and wonderful homegrown food is. Blessings!!

[@kellygoodwin1439]

Do you have a cookbook with all of your garden recipes? I would 100% buy it.

[@genniejefferson6588]

Now this is good looking food.

[@kristin97425]

These are such great meal ideas! I love the sneak peak of the baby haha!

[@projecttreecollard]

thanks for the cooking inspiration! I love the garden videos you make and would love more of these! You feed your family so well!

[@bethawwad]

Please share more recipes. Amazing video ❤❤❤

[@happycamper4329]

On behalf of my lower intestines, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU... not a chillie in sight! I will make all these recipes 😀 Loved the photo bomb by Squish 😊

[@AM-hh2kg]

I would be interested to see your favorite basic kitchen tools you use that you could not go without and which ones you should not go cheap on and which ones you could easily go cheap on!

[@christiaanbianchinawiid309]

I just love your content because ifs very informative and it teaches large scale gardening. Thank you very much🙏💯

So inspiring! That hummus recipe makes me want to finally spring for the Instant pot. ❤

[@kendratai]

I love watching your channel. Everytime i see a video from you guys, I click!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Yay! Thank you!

[@rachanas4483]

Great recipes!! When you make the naan, top the naan with some finely diced garlic and cilantro before you pop it in the oven and it'll turn out even more delish!

[@sweetccnz3338]

Awesome🎉❤....love your channel

[@kariwebb5523]

Everything looked delicious!! Love the cooking videos. I loved seeing the baby for a quick appearance.

[@sacredmommyhood]

Costco sells pine nuts for a decent price per ounce. I have been making pesto all summer so that I will have a year's worth in the freezer. We make sourdough pesto pizza and we're kinda nuts about it, so we must have tons of pesto. 😅 Thanks for the reminder about frittatas. I tend to forget about those. Oh my!!! Cam's smoked pork butts. YUM!!! All of your meals are so beautiful! Blessings!

[@languagelynnie]

Loved the baby cameo! Congratulations!

[@aleshalipsky1684]

Love the ideas!!! I have a family of seven and I am always looking to get some new and fresh ideas. Its so nice to see others eating lots of fresh and tasty produce. I love the idea of the naan in the pizza oven. We make naan too, on a cast iron skillet but I would think the flavor on your is so yummy! Thanks for the idea of the kids doing their own laundry...lol I have been toying with that idea and just am so encouraged to do it. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the young baby snuggles!!

[@sarahshuman996]

Thank you for these cooking videos! It always gives me inspiration to try new things in the kitchen

[@magnoliabeauty2954]

WOWWW...Love this.I am from the Caribbean..I am going to try these recipes.This is my kinda meals😅😊

[@miriammarquez4061]

Wonderful family video! I love to see the baby in the video too! He is so cute!! God bless you all!

[@11UncleBooker22]

Good stuff.

[@MariaMavridoglou]

Terrific video and recipes … always interesting to see produce go from “paddock to plate”.

[@jenniferhershey8621]

Everything looks so purposeful and nutritious! I definitely have some new meal ideas now! ❤

[@mrspilgrim327]

Nice one Becky and family, another great video. I particulary enjoyed this one because your summer menu is so similar to mine. You have me excited about summer cooking on a cold, wet winter day in southern Australia.

[@meme7591]

I highly recommend keeping a fire extinguisher near your grill. That's good that you don't have it near the house. But I highly recommend that also my father's tubing that went from the tank to the grill melted and he didn't know how it happened it just melted. So it's good to have a heat mat underneath it

[@LittleKi1]

Beautiful, inspirational, and attainable, as usual. When I get run down during the grind of preserving, I remind myself of the slow, simplicity of your videos. It might not be quite that slow and simple for you in real life but the ethos is worth grabbing onto.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Thank you!

[@susanfreeman6350]

Wow! I think this is my favorite of all the videos you’ve done…and I’ve seen them all. I agree with the other commenters. All hands on deck, beautiful and nutritious meals prepared together, life skills for the kids, and I absolutely loved the baby photo bombing the video. You guys really have your ducks in a row! It’s hard to express the feeling of joy I have when you share videos like this. Thank you.

[@robertacleary5256]

I can’t wait to try these! Thanks for sharing! Love everyone helps out! Cute new addition to the family!

[@Dawn-pe5to]

Beautiful video. Delicious food that brings your family together. I love that you share the work as well as the bounty. Very inspiring.

[@paigehodges2571]

Loved this video!!! I would also love to see a video on your experiences of being a mom. How it has changed and evolved from being a first time mommy to adding each baby along the way. How each one brought new challenges and tips to manage, even nap time tricks. First time mom here, managing a small garden and homestead dreaming of having more babies but wondering how I can do it. Any advice readily accepted as your family is an excellent role model for us! Thank you!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Hi Paige, for new baby I follow a schedule from Moms on Call books. It’s such a game changer!! I can’t recommend it highly enough. I got the set of three books from birth to toddler. You can Google moms on call and get it from their website or Amazon also has the set of three.

Hi! I really really love your videos! 1:44 You said you adapted a crêpe recipe for buckwheat and being savory rather than sweet. There's actually a food in france that's made with buckweat like a crepe but more on the savory side! It's called "Galette" 😊 And I love it!
