Using Garden Experiments! Amish Whoopie Pies, Rampicante Squash, Loofa Sponges + More

[@evanorvell8368]

We always "parched" peanuts with the shell on. They're much easier to shell then. And I'm as southern as you get, and I've Never eaten boiled peanuts!

[@dnmichelle]

We have always roasted peanuts in their shell! I've never heard of anyone shelling them first so watching you go through the process was really interesting!

I am number 269 and so thankful that you are in my circle! Hugs from Esquimalt

[@cbass2755]

Oh!!!... wow! I love that bread knife!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

I do to! Just got it from the homesteaders of America conference! I think the maker is riverwood trading co!

[@catslilcreations]

Your bread looked so beautiful, I could smell it through my computer, LOL! I'm a true Southerner from Texas and I have never eaten boiled peanuts. I roast them in the shell and they are wonderful. But I have never grown any peanuts either. Loved your harvest. Love your videos.

[@Julie-ci9ve]

If you're looking for hardy and productive, grow delicata squash! I was amazed by how well these did, and the flavor is amazing.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Yes! This is on my grow list next year! Thanks for the confirmation!

[@poodlegirl55]

Quite an interesting mixture!!! It all looked delicious.

[@juliewoodward5955]

The rampacante squash has been around a few years they are very prolific and I prefer them young in place of zuchini they have a better texture and a nutty flavor I then leave a few to mature and use as winter squash they are quite mild tho and we peel and cut the long neck flesh in cubes and roast with chili spices and olive oil

[@ritasnider2998]

I live in Texas and we roast them. Yummy. I think you did a great harvest. We are always blessed by God so what ever he gives us is great.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

So true! I’m so grateful. Blessings ❤️

[@Just-Nikki]

Pretty eggs,love them so much❣️

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

❤️❤️❤️

[@kaitlynbeans6133]

I like pealing my luffas before they get too dry because mine tend to get the bruised discolored spots when I wait too long. I always have to pull mine early as well because of a shorter growing season.

[@kimarnold8860]

With your peanuts they are fine The best way to do them is either make candy peanut, peanut brittle or fry them they would be considered raw peanut

[@beekind1940]

Agreed, there is nothing like rubbing butter all over a warm loaf of bread fresh from the oven is amazing!

[@cbass2755]

That food mill is really nice. I see it on other channels. I bought a mill, but its hand cranked. Im using it for the first time for the upcoming holidays. Lol...not a great time to practice, but i have a easy forgiving family. Ive baked two loves just in case! The bread looks delicious ❤ Happy Thanksgiving to you and family! 🦃

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

That’s awesome! I’d like to purchase a hand crank for “just in case” LOL. Never know and it’s great to have backup. I do love my mock mill though!

[@setapart6937]

Loved your peanut harvest. I’ve never seen anyone else grow peanuts so that was really neat to see. You’re the reason I’m going to try my hand at growing my own loofa sponges next year. I think it’s so cool to be able to grow your own sponges! Jessica over at Three Rivers Homestead did a video about a month ago where she showed how she soaks her loofa sponges in a hydrogen peroxide solution to help disinfect them and brighten them up a bit. Those whoopie pies looked delicious!! I might have to try making them. Happy Thanksgiving friend! PS I just want to say that I love how homey your house is. I feel like many KZbinrs have such sterile looking homes. Everything is white and stainless steel. I love how yours has color, texture and decorations. It’s very warm and inviting feeling!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Yay! They are so fun to grow! Thanks for that info from Jessica! I’ll be doing that for sure. Aw thank you 😭 ❤️ that’s exactly how I want my home to feel. I’ll never understand sterile homes that don’t look like people live there!

[@Chellbell731]

Haha I'm from South Carolina and I have been thinking since you harvested those peanuts, I sure hope she boils them!

[@afterthought72]

I'm from the south and we roast ours with the shell on ...😊

[@karenchaney9160]

Love your new haircut

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

Kelsey the bread looked so beautiful! I love the idea of combining fresh milled flour with the all purpose flour. I’m going to make bread today and I think I’ll use your recipe but without fresh milled flour. I also found the peanut project quite fun. It does take a lot of space to grow peanuts and like you our space is limited so getting the most out of it is important. The peanuts looked lovely. I’m not remembering if you said how the family liked them. Sending warm wishes to you and yours for a beautiful Thanksgiving. Give thanks to the Lord for He is good indeed. God Bless you friend. 🍁🧡

Wow amazing 😮 👏 thanks for sharing ❤🎉

Pretty cool to grow sponges in your garden! Don't think I've seen anyone else do this!!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Isn’t it fun! One less thing to get from the store!

[@maryannblom9075]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and those you love!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you! ❤️☺️

[@childofthefox]

You should try kobacha its wonderful squash. And you can eat the paper thin skin.

[@KristinaBakerSmith]

Behold the peanut harvest!😂🥰😎

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

😂 it was truly something ❤️

[@SandraMalone-pq4mn]

I just adore your adventurous soul in the garden and kitchen alike!! Over the years, I have always added one or two "new" grows in my gardens. Sometimes more. And I'm always trying a new recipe here in my kitchen. As I say to all my little ones, "Trying something new, shouldn't be something new"!!! Your pumpkin whoopie pies are peaking my interest. I personally don't eat sweets much, but my family loves them! I just tried a pumpkin cheesecake snickerdoodle recipe over the past weekend, and it was a major hit. Tonight it was an Indian dish. Butter chicken, incredible golden chicken pieces in a creamy curry sauce. I am so blessed to have found you here on KZbin. Wishing you and your family a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving holiday.

[@ShakinaRiley-v1j]

The way you process the peanuts doesn't have to go through all that process you can just cure them and eat them raw as is that's how I enjoyed mine in the raw state. Thanks for sharing with us. Blessings to you❤👍

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Good to know! Thank you ☺️ ❤️

[@StonerSmurfin]

​​@@seedandsparrowhomesteadstore bought ones are washed and soaked in salt water in shell then roasted, that being said I have never seen anyone grow them and love that you gave it a try and hope you keep trying, but maybe in a bucket to save space in the garden.

[@duaneschultz9230]

I hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving. God bless you and your family and friends. Duane ✝️💜🥧🍠🦃🥔🇺🇸

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you! ☺️❤️

[@jamieclark7945]

Love the new hair cut. 🙂 I'm always amazed at how easily you work with bread. Your video on making a months worth of bread in one day was the first of your videos I ever watched and now I watch everything you post. I can never seem to get my bread to be so easy to work with after rising. It stays so sticky. 😂 Granted, i do not bake very often and I dread kneading by hand, so I'm sure that does not help. I'm hoping to get a kitchaid mixer soon. That's a bummer your peanut harvest didn't turn out better than it did, it was certainly interesting to see how you handled them.

[@afterthought72]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours from me and mine ..I know it's 2 days away but amidst the chaos I might forget, lol

[@jenniferrichardson5106]

I love your videos! I was watching this one on the tv, and my daughter just loved the instrumental music. Could you share more about it please so I can share it with her? Thanks!

[@cbass2755]

That Loofa is so weird to me! 🤣🤣 I think I heard you can eat it too? Not in the dry stage, that I know! 🤣🤣 But it certainly is a strange…. squash? or Fruit? 🤣🤣 See…I know nothing about it….! 🤣🤣

[@MaryBornforHealth]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Many Blessings. Looking forward to baking bread with my granddaughter on Thanksgiving morning. Now a 20-year-old tradition.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Precious! What lovely memories for you both. Many blessings ❤️ Thank you friend 🤍

[@robingirven4570]

Kudos for trying the peanuts! I never would’ve thought we can grow them in the “north”. Everything looked delicious as I’m sure it was. Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours! 🦃 🎃 🥔 🌺

[@junethorhauer6500]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your famil!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you ☺️ ❤️❤️❤️

[@bearzhere]

Whoopie pies looked really good! I always thought you left the peanuts in the shells to roast, but I guess there are multiple ways to do things. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving with your family!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family thank you for sharing them and your wonderful recipes with us. Those whoopies pies looked so good!!!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you friend! Blessings ❤

[@Just-Nikki]

I agree, peanuts are fun ( I’m a Georgia girl after all ) but they are like growing dry beans, you need a bit of dedicated space to be worth the return. I moved to Missouri and I have less growing space so I order raw peanuts from Georgia to can up boiled peanuts to have when I’m missing home.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Yes! For sure. Maybe one day I can dedicate more space but this is precisely why I don’t do beans either.

[@lynsmith2698]

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. The whoopie pies look delish. I make them quite often but haven’t made pumpkin ones. Thanks so much for sharing 🌷🇨🇦

[@cindyparker9920]

I loved your peanuts. I’m proud of you for always trying new things. Your bread looked delicious! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I hope you have a wonderful day, I know your food will be fabulous!

Happy Thanksgiving from across the pond. For ideas with your loofas: Heather at Sage and Stone Homestead recently did a video about how she managed hers, since she also had to bring hers in early too. Lovely looking bread :)

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Hello friend! To you as well ❤️ thank you, I’ll go and check her video out!

[@annamccosker7878]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well! 🙏🙂

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you so much ☺️ ❤️

[@iartistdotme]

At first I thought squash in a whoopie pie" then when I saw you break a completed one in half I thought that looks so good and I think I would love it better as it has to taste richer than just sugary. YUM and I will try this. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@silviamagda]

What a nice video. ❤

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Hello do you have the bread recipe somewhere that I don’t see?? It looked really delicious. Thanks

I have been wondering what you think of the rampicante. I have grown them for years (they are not new to Baker Creek). Did you try any young as a zucchini sub?

Don't you have to leave the peanuts in the shell to roast?

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

You can but it’s not necessary!

[@silviamagda]

@@seedandsparrowhomestead i didn't know that.

[@languagelynnie]

Thanks for showing me how to create the loofah sponges. I first learned about this from www.youtube.com/@threerivershomestead and I didn't see this part of the process. I have seeds from www.youtube.com/@MIgardener ready to plant next spring! Is it a good idea to put the sponges in a dehydrator?

[@allisoncorbett4121]

Did you get a haircut? Looks really good!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]
