Your kitchen looks great! I love the color! You don't have to apologize for the appearance of your meals or for them not being gourmet or elaborate. I hope you didn't receive cruel comments from people to prompt this. You are an amazing mom and work hard to provide wholesome healthy delicious homemade meals for your family. Besides which, they look delicious! Comfort food is the best. You did amazing for a healthy week much less when not feeling well and taking care of a sick family! You are a dynamo Jessica.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Sunday soup! I just saw that on your Instagram. I’m pretty sure I’m stealing that for our Sunday lunches.

[@kathrynsoper247]

I used the soup for Sunday lunch idea last week. It is a great!

John saying his prayer is the absolute sweetest thing. We just had fridge dump fried rice last night. Delicious. Apple sauce cake later. Thank you lovely 🥰

26:00 the cutest thing ever

[@susannichols2497]

Nothing bothers me more than food waste in this country. I love your creative meals that use up leftovers to make a healthy meal. Food is precious and should never be wasted.

[@archieburson4301]

As a 73 year old man I would like to take the time and opportunity to applaud you for your decision and convictions of dressing and modest and appropriate apparel. There are more men and women in this world than you realize that appreciate that!!! Plain is beautiful and very attractive. I would also like to applaud you for your drive and your determination to push forward even when you don't feel like doing so. You accomplish so much. The Bible refers to women such as yourself as being as rare as a Ruby..... and her husband as being blessed and that she brings honor to her husband in the manner in which she manages her house hold. I enjoy your videos and pray you and your family Gods blessings and guidance. We look forward to your videos and ideas. Thank you.

I agree! ❤

Yes, I agree! I'm exhausted just watching! You're an inspiration on your worst day I'm sure. My friend just called and asked what I was doing. I said I'm watching that 3 rivers lady that I sent you, I'm obsessed and I've watched her all day 😃❤❤❤

[@lindaminor1985]

I am sure she is apologizing cause she is reading crazy critical comments from people who have nothing else to say. I love how you do things and your voice is very calming. Blessed family❤🎉❤❤❤

[@pamelasmith7120]

Jessica, you know what, i think your style of cooking is ingenious.. You waste nothing, everything is utilized in one way or another. Your children are fed nutritiously balanced meals every day. Please stop apologizing for not being a chef, you are a home cook and much more experienced than many of us in how to use foods with less waste. I do hope you are all feeling better, God bless you and yours, love from across the pond here in Australia, you are amazing.. I love your videos BTW..

[@maryhumphrey9105]

Oh honey nobody is perfect. I am 72 and raised and homeschooled 6 children. Your cooking is an inspiration. Belly filling food is best. I had an aunt Gerty that my sister and I stayed with one summer. She was always apologizing for not putting fancier food on the table. It was home grown and home canned. It was delish. Fond memories of a young girl. Just sayen

[@robyndonoho2727]

I appreciate your modesty, but everything you make looks DELICIOUS and very filling in reasonable portions. Your family is adorable!

[@kimr4005]

You Are amazing. I get the idea that someone has critiqued your culinary skills 😂. You are one of the best cooks I have ever seen. Mainly your creativity with a tight budget and not wasting anything. You Also are an excellent teacher. I am 57 worked most of my career in kitchens. You my dear are in the top 5. Love you and your sweet family.

[@emrsngs]

Don't give the critics and the negative knuckleheads a second thought. You are doing amazing! You work tirelessly to care for your family and that, in and of itself is more of a blessing to the entire world than a gourmet, magazine-cover-photographed meal. Those who can't DO, criticize. 5 STARS!!!!!

[@ericaber9083]

Watching your intro today I was hoping that it wasn’t because someone had said something cruel. I’m a 53 yr old, Muslim, empty nester so definitely in a different chapter of life. I love the way your family all works together, the way y’all love each other and love The Lord. I may cook differently but have learned techniques, some great hacks from you, as well as time management. Your family is a a wonderful example of family life, some days roll like planned and other days don’t. Thanks for sharing your family with us, - -- as a Marylander Old Bay is a must. My kids especially love it on French fries and also popcorn. Also, great job putting this all together when your not feeling well, prayers that y’all are feeling much better.

[@joyceduesel7966]

How do you cook? What do you eat? Share your culture with us. Please

[@ericaber9083]

@@joyceduesel7966 I’m Italian so we do eat lots of pasta. From my time spent in Morocco. I make a lot of tagines . I don’t like lamb but my kids eat a ton of it and love when I make it. Bastilla is my fav - chicken, ground almonds, cinnamon, and a few other spices, in layers of phyllo. Spices are key and anything can taste good when it’s full of flavor. We also eat a lot of seafood, especially because we live in Maryland. Moroccan culture is very rich and because of its proximity to Spain you will find a lot of Spanish influence, especially in the north. France occupied for some time so you will find that influence as well, especially in the pastries. Morocco was part of Spice Road and the markets have every spice you could want. I was just there and always come back with a suitcase of spices.

[@jenniferoverturf1064]

I pray you ignore that other person and continue living your life 😂 sorry for making light of prayer, but they were being rude. I was going to say the same thing you did, I hope she isn’t getting mean comments for sharing these fantastic videos!

@@jenniferoverturf1064 thank you 😊 I used to be FD and learned to turn the other cheek, especially after 9-11. I agree that Jessica does great videos. It’s such a pleasure to see her family dynamics and how recipes can be changed for various dietary needs. On Sundays the first thing I do for myself is check to see if her video is up, such a great way to start the day.

Oh, Jessica! I can’t believe how rude people are when they have the shield of anonymity social media provides! It’s inexcusable and appalling! You are doing AMAZING things for your family and for those of us who appreciate good, healthy, home-cooked food! Your #threeriverschallenge has inspired me in so many ways!

Jessica, I certainly hope no one has made any negative comments to you regarding what you feed your family and if they have, ignore the negative. What you choose to feed your family is your business. It may not work for someone else but what ever works for y'all is perfect! May God continue to bless and keep you, Adam and your family! 🙏❤

I belong to many Groups and there is always someone needing information on alternative eating Gluten Free, Dairy Free, etc and I always refer them to her channel. Its so helpful for so many struggling to find better ways to eat on a restricted diet. Oh and alot have a large household like Jessica and struggling with how to budget the groceries so another great thing and I refer them to Jessica as well. Anna In Ohio

[@karenw9996]

I hate to think what someone(s) put in the comments that lead to your 'disclaimer' at the beginning. To those Negative Nellies I ask, "Are you proud of yourself now???" I think you're doing amazingly well. Your level of knowledge on substitutions alone is jaw-dropping. I'm glad you're all feeling better. I was knocked down for most of December and you're absolutely right - there just wasn't energy for cooking. I ate leftovers while they lasted, then was left eating toast & oatmeal and drinking blackberry shrub...and it showed, as my recovery stalled. I finally called my sister and she started bringing prepared foods for me, and I enjoyed an almost immediate turn-around, although it still took over a week to feel 'human'. God bless each of you!!

[@josie6957]

Me all morning, "Alexa, what time is it in America now?"... ... "Alexa what time is it in Ohio now?" 🤣 I can't wait to start watching, just wanted to say a huge thank you again for the great videos, literally make my week!

[@glendagonzalez2469]

I love how well all your children eat. They all eat the same foods, they eat on their own...it's refreshing. Many kids these days refuse to eat certain foods because they have gotten used to eating out and eating what they are in the mood for. It is not how I grew up nor how my children grew up. We are trying to teach our grandchildren the same way but it's more challenging. I love your channel and seeing your back to basics approach. I wish we could all go back to simpler, better times.

[@grammyinthekitchen]

Jessica i love your channel. For every 100 people you inspire, including me, there will always be 1 person who will be negative. Please, if you do not have something positive to say, don't say anything.

[@FrOsTy_PrOdZzZz-h9o]

I think you are amazing! I’m definitely not one to cook from scratch. My mom didn’t do too much of that, so I never have either. I honestly don’t enjoy it too much. I know you do it out of necessity, and that would be hard. But you do it with a happy heart. I’ve enjoyed watching you the last two weeks. You’ve given me quite a few ideas for dinners. Happy cooking!

[@denisebozung126]

I don't go on Instagram or other social media so I don't know what rude comments you may have received. My feeling is that you are a creative cook having to make multiple meals around family food restrictions and fill hungry tummies. Who can fault that? Does it really matter if your way of making something doesn't agree with the recipe my mother made? As long as your family enjoys what you make, and it is healthy and filling, you are getting the job done with creativity and thoughtfulness. I totally support you. Thanks for sharing.

[@Mommieandg]

My favorite scene - 33:38 Adam's absolute focus on your son's conversation. Kids will appreciate all the things you do for them when they are older, but that attentiveness to their value will have the greatest impact. Great job guys. You are blessed.

[@lawrencefosterjenkins8216]

i live in the city and don't have a lot of kitchen tools, but while i wouldn't be able to do this challenge to its full extent (regarding this level of food prep and canning), watching these challenges does inspire me to use up all the perishable and semi-perishable food i've had in my pantry for weeks at a time rather than impulse buy at the shopping center.

I can’t believe you cooked so many full meals with sides. I got sick a couple weeks ago and ate nothing but frozen waffles. I had no energy and they were softer than crackers. I can’t imagine cooking and taking care of sick babies and being sick yourself. I also really liked that you showed real life and real cooking. People are so worried about things having to be perfect or they don’t count. But making do is how most of us live and cook. Especially on a budget. Especially when trying a new recipe. Great video and some great cooking inspiration. I never thought to use pear juice for flavoring and nutrition! Hope everyone is feeling better!

[@cherylcasio9401]

Hi Jessica - your intro comments made me wonder if you are getting criticism about your cooking, etc. My prayer for you is that God will encourage you to feel confident that you are doing GREAT, EXCEPTIONAL and most importantly living in OBEDIENCE to God. Be encouraged that you are such an inspiration to so many people - not because of your cooking techniques, but because of how you live your life. To those criticizing Jessica about cooking techniques - Open your eyes, step back and be inspired like the rest of us!!! (...and maybe DO something yourself???)

[@Agenda21Truth1]

Making your own Sprouts was big in the 80's/90's. I made my own, UNTIL the Propaganda Machine started broadcasting that, "it was too Dangerous! You'll get food poisoning and kill someone!" No Joke! After that I started learning how to evaluate things logically for myself, considering Gods blessings to us, with that it led me to Abandoning Margarine during that same time. Since then I use my own judgement. I've always cooked the majority of our meals at home and continue to do so. I've done better than expected during the #ThreeRiversPantryChallenge and, since I still have my Mason Jar set up for growing Sprouts, I'm going to resume that practice. I join you all in learning about the Citrus Haul!😄✝️🙏🏼

I'm just getting over Covid and severe pregnancy morning sickness. However, during the worst of my illness I grabbed some of this freezer dried hamburger mix and added broth, potatoes, and seasoning. My husband added frozen veggies as we ate on it to mix it up. Such a blessing! Saved me a ton of energy! Freeze dried meat mixes are awesome!

I am just loving this. Our freezer was so full and I had so much stuff. We came home from our kids' houses on Jan 6, and started the challenge. This week we rearranged things in the freezer because we knew we had used stuff and wanted to see what we should use next. Just after that someone arrived with FIVE pork loins for us to share with others. We put them at least temporarily in the freezer, and they all fit! God is so good. We would have had a big problem otherwise. Yesterday was chilly for us, and so I canned jars of salsa from some #10 cans of San Marzano tomatoes I'd had for a couple of years. Wonderful. Thank you for spurring us on to more creativity and may the Lord BLESS you richly.

After watching you on KZbin and inspired to use up all our leftovers, I boiled up a lamb bone with an onion after our roast a few a days ago. I boiled it for a 1-2 hours over a couple of days strained it and then added tinned lentils, butter beans, fresh veggies and left over roast veggies, salt and a little Massel stock powder (AUS).

How wonderful your an amazing devoted mother❤

[@annadavis6322]

I annoyed my husband last Sunday after watching your video by going on and on about how impressive your frugality and "work arounds" are and how much I just admire your mothering, lol. I so much appreciate your willingness to show everything your feeding your family! Thank you

I have been ill with 1 thing after the other in January and when Mama doesn't feel well it is hard on everyone. You did great and didn't skip a beat! Rest when you can and thank you for sharing so many tips and inspiration ✨❤

I worked into the night on organizing my pantry. Tonight I'm moving stuff around and scrubbing the floor. And adding some more cans of food that I bought in town today. Tonight I'm canning potatoes and tomatoes, because it's cooler then so I don't heat up the house. My garden potatoes are looking so wonderful! Blossoms! I'm sorry that you're feeling ill, but you wouldn't know it with all that you do.

Such wonderful meal ideas. I have dietary restrictions due to autoimmune issues and I appreciate other ideas to add more variety. Thank you I’ve really had fun with the pantry challenge. I’m eating sprouts now and that bit of freshness has been very welcome.

I get a lot more done when my husband is home from work as well! Your kitchen looks great! I love that green! Looks like you and your Hubby make a great team! Thanks for sharing what you made, even though you guys were sick! You are amazing!

Old Bay in your fish patties are also a good idea. That's what I typically use for our fist patties.

Jessica, I'm so impressed with you and how you feed your lovely family. My daughter in law has Celiacs and will be planning to have children soon. Her biggest fret is how to feed her family and herself. I'm going to direct her to your channel so she can get some confidence in dealing with "keeping bellies full" and keeping herself healthy at the same time. Also, I love your kitchen and the new color! Also impressive it that you do what works for you and your family, your kitchen your rules and that includes your paint color! You're doing great!

You do you! I grew up making something from nothing to fill siblings bellies and same early marriage with littles. Never ever apologize for your life! NEVER. We all love your video's and we all learn something new from each video! I am 65 and you inspire me with every video. Creating soups is one of my most favorite things to do.. I save everything to make something else. 2 oct 2024

When my parents married in 1949, she was only 18 and he was only 23. Mom went on to teach herself how to can, and do virtually every craft there was to do. Overtime our family grew to 5 children. She sewed many of my clothes, Halloween costumes etc, cooked dinner every day from scratch, canned, froze, preserved etc during the Summers...really taught herself every thing. I have followed in her footsteps in many ways, but I only have 2 children :) Well done Jessica 🥰❄☃☔🌞🏜✝💗
