We're Selling Some of Our Cows | Weekly Shop, Amazing Chicken Paprikash

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Hey friends, please drop your Q&A questions here so I can easily track them. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

[@lorimcmichael5846]

I’ll repeat- how do you know how to farm? Garden? Were you both raised on farms? Was it both of you that wanted to live on a farm, sustainably or did one have to convince the other? I know you said kids are deliberately in the back ground, but how many do you have, age range? Are you both from BC? and were all ur kids born there? How long have you lived where u are now?

[@lunachic03dh]

What’s the 1st thing you plan on freeze drying?? I would LOVE to have one, but will have to watch and enjoy you using yours 😊

[@kaybusby7507]

Will your cookbook be available in the US, sure hope so. Know you don't want to include your children but could you please tell us how old they are.

[@Marcia-oh1yy]

Your meal looks delicious! Well, I would like to know how far is the city from your farm and how large it is. Beautiful place!

[@kerrygordon1088]

I’ve never seen a square Dutch oven before! Wondering what size it is and where you purchased it? Thanks!

[@katherinenapolitano6547]

Kudos to you for both respecting your kids privacy and also giving them credit for doing their part in helping. It’s a tricky balance but you seem to do it really well.

[@AZJH8374]

We are Slovak, & all the grandmothers pronounced it poprekash. And parents, all the kids, & our children. It's our food!

[@jisaak7277]

One of the many things that I appreciate about your channel is that your children are kept in the background. We so enjoy the barter system, it really is a great way of doing 'business'.

[@kirstievapron4705]

Agree…. Integrity right there !!! I love this family. I feel warm and cosy after watching you all together. Nothing but best wishes for you all xxxxx

[@kerrygordon1088]

I love the pace of your days and the peace you’re sharing with us. You’re always pausing over the beauty of your scenery, weather, a project in progress, having conversations with your family, taking delight in giving some love to all your animals, etc. no amount of “things to be done” makes you skip an opportunity to find joy and wonder. Thank you for sharing it.

[@jules_1980]

When you commented on how lovely it is to meet kind people, it reminded me of Anne of Green Gables. You both have such refreshing and joyous outlooks it seems.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

She is literally my favourite heroine of all time.

[@Samantha-pn4zk]

The pastoral life is the life for me! Early mornings, hard work, caring for family and friends and animals. Life couldn't be better!

[@ShellyS2060]

May I say, you have quickly become one of my favorite creators. I have enjoyed watching and learning from you. I live in the southeast in the US and treasure the memories of helping my Granny can and "Put up" food. I almost cried when you "invited" your viewers to dinner. I will watch as long as you make content! Much love and light to you and yours.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you so much, I deeply appreciate you.

[@amandar7719]

After our parents split up when we were little, we loved hearing mummy potter about the kitchen early, dark, winters’ mornings when we stayed at her freezing uncentral heated cottage. She’d be stoking the fire/aga and preparing each of our favourite breakfasts. It was so comforting hearing her; and allowed us to roll over back to our sweet waking dreams in our warm beds. The moment I heard your quiet voice at the beginning of this video it immediately reminded me of our dear mother all those years ago. My own daughter loves hearing me potter about early morning and wakening fully as the aromas of breakfast drift upstairs. ❤

[@scheitahnberg]

for the QnA I would actually love to hear about you and Dan as a couple :) how did it all began VS how did you get to this lifestyle with this many kids!

[@524FrmGrl]

I love just having you talking in the back ground whatever I’m doing. It always feels like you are in my kitchen:) I love your bubbly, happy, kind personality.

[@charlottewillis9252]

I am one of the new faces and just want to let you know your calm and peaceful attitude is wonderful. Only time I have seen you rush was when Sam was coming and that is allowed for us moms.:))

[@lastoeck]

Your viewers have the opportunity to meet a kind and lovely person in every one of your videos!

[@tsilbaugh5314]

Question: does anyone else in the family ever help cook meals? Dan? Do you ever have problems getting the kids to help around the house with the chores? I’m new here so I may have missed how many kids/family members you and Dan are feeding? I love large families and it intrigues me to know how much it takes to keep it all functioning smoothly! Thank you! Love your channel!!

[@dianehall5345]

Hi Chelsea & Dan - As always, it is a treat to see you go about your day on the farm. You are living the Canadian version of what my grandmother's life was like and also what mine was like as a child. It was a wonderful childhood that I hold dear. I'm 72, growing up in the 1950s in New England. We are now trying to bring back that " Down Home Americana", Norman Rockwell era. We three are the last of our 3rd generation working farm. I can understand folks not wanting to go through some of the challenging hardships that my father-in-law encountered. It was all work and not tempered by some of the more modern conveniences and latest farm equipment. Your lifestyle, like ours currently, reflects a balance between the old and the new. I refer to it as HYBRID FARMING, incorporating the BEST of 1935 and the BEST of 2022. This approach allows us "70- somethings" to keep on farming! This technique can also be applied to entry level farmers who are just starting out. Your children are so blessed to be brought up by loving, responsible parents, who want the good life. May you inspire others to follow your lead. ~ Diane

[@stefuhfuhmarie]

The way that this video started made me feel safe & warm. Ty so much. 💕

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I’m so glad! ❤️

[@bdavis8149]

I’ve been watching since you had 20K subscribers because you are a kind and loving mother that has much knowledge on homesteading and your Canadian! Now I see your channel has grown so much so congrats. Just wondering how long have you been living on your farm?

[@Urbaezfamily]

I love you channel, your simple life is so refreshing to me. You’re very smart, down to earth lady, how you’re caring for your family and animals is amazingly beautiful and priceless. How do you handle so much responsibilities and keep your sanity?? You’re the most peaceful person I have ever seen!!❤

[@somethingelse4204]

I loooooooove the way you handle the amount you have your kids on camera. I worry for this generation of kids who are growing up with basically no privacy.

[@danoneill2846]

Many Thanks !

[@johnnymayo8534]

Watching ur videos is truly like visiting w/ a good friend! Always positive, informative, encouraging & heartfelt! I'll now have to try a slow-cooker version of chicken paprikash.

[@Kim-vq2iq]

I’m a newbie to your channel but I love watching, your so peaceful and kind!

[@gardeneroncarriagehill]

Love Hungarian chicken paprikash with dumplings. Winter comfort food, for sure.

[@Pokismom]

Thank you for sharing your Morning Fire! It was very relaxing.

[@deno.520]

We've been looking at a 100 acre property with many hay fields this week but neither of us have every farmed. We fear that we'd be getting in way over our heads. But your concerns about hay availability and cost is making me rethink our position a bit (just a bit. lol) We're getting old to be getting started. The barter system is the best in my opinion. Let's all bring barter back! lol Can't wait for that cookbook! Congrats on the impressive growth of your subscriber base! I deeply respect your choice to keep your kids out of your videos.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I would 100% buy land with hay if you can! Especially if you plan to have livestock. Even if you don’t you could have a neighbour do it for you - it called crop sharing. Usually it’s a 40/60 split. You could sell your cut if you don’t have livestock. Feel free to email me if you want to talk more about it.❤️

[@deno.520]

@@LittleMountainRanch thank you!

[@tressanallenmartin9336]

Thank you so much for sharing and inviting us over for dinner.. see you in the next vlog.. I’m so excited already!!

[@theaerogardenhomestead]

I started up an indoor winter garden so I could have fresh lettuce and other greens over the winter. Everything is so expensive and this is an easy way for me to get fresh greens for very little. Highly recommended. I'm doing it hydroponically, but I'm sure it would be easy to set up a gutter system with soil too.

[@charlottewillis9252]

I also grow greens for salads every winter in my seed starting room which is the third bedroom in our house. Hubby grows micro greens.

[@FRIENSHIPCHAOS]

You are the sweetest! You are always so kind to your children when they interrupt! I was raised to be quiet unless spoken too or get a spanking. So I yelled a lot with my oldest 2 daughters but not with my youngest two because I didn't want to pass on that type of aggression to my kids anymore. I wish I understood the cause and effects of that type of parenting earlier. You are doing great and all your kids have manners! I love watching your channel!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I know exactly what you mean. I was so much more intense and stressed as a parent when my adult kids were young. It makes me sad to think of it and also so grateful I figured out a different way now.

[@vickyprice1932]

It is so good to see everyone out and feeling better. 😌 thank you for taking us along on all your daily adventures.

[@aliciacarballal]

Hello, I found your chanel today and now is one of my favorites, because I grew up in a farm but I've been living in the city for more than 20 years now. Thank you for share! Greetings from Galicia (Spain).

[@jmt7676]

Beautiful views, beautiful family and beautiful animals.

[@Monicapiazza541]

Your channel has been a favourite of mine for a while now. That chicken paprikash looks awesome!!

[@marthalucia6941]

Love your colorful thumbnail pics lately!

[@sandrawyrick]

Yum! Hello to Sam!!!

[@annaking9213]

I loved watching you’ll get the cow loaded. We’re done that before, you’ll went easy today. Loved the vlog.

[@haleyleach6165]

You're the sweetest, most original person and I've just fallen in love with everything you share! Watching you (and Becky from Acre Homemade) are my nightly ritual! 💜

[@heathermain8602]

I love love love my food saver for freezing all my meat etc. especially since finding a cheaper version of the bags on Amazon.

[@mabelarnold8049]

Your paprikash is so close to what I learned from my Hungarian born & raised husband except we finished stove top-and much better than other recipes I’ve seen and tried out of curiosity.

[@13MoonsOverMayhem]

Chelsea, thank you for sharing your life with us. I love living a bit vicariously through you, and also love watching you cook for your large family. We dont have as many children as you, we had four, and they're all young adults now, but this brings back memories of when I cooked big meals to feed everyone. We only do big meals all together a few times a year now, even though three of them are currently living with us. Everyone has busy schedules. I'm eagerly awaiting your cookbook!

[@shelleychartrand3796]

love,love,love your vlogs! Your style,love of family and friends,animals and life. Don't change a thing, you are great! I look forward to watching your next vlog!

[@camicri4263]

Looks delicious! Enjoy Sam and the food! Good bless!🤗

[@williej3831]

Love your videos. No way can you be old enough to have a son that age. I know all about missing your son I have one I miss as well. Can’t wait for your cook book.

[@janinejackson9477]

Hello I am envious of you stepping a lot around your kitchen and thought that was how you stayed so beautiful and slim. 🤗 You would also move around a lot with chores soooooo...... envious. I don't have the energy but try my best to do what I can. I am 60 yes old with lower back and hip issues so I am up and down all the time to rest these areas inbetween bursts of activity.🥴😀

[@bucky1996]

Such a lovely channel. Although I do appreciate and respect all the hard work you do I must say that it is very relaxing to watch your videos. Well done!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I’m so glad you enjoy them. I do try to slow things down a bit - the world can get a little crazy and I like to try to add some calm in it all.

[@stephencameron1709]

I just love your channel! Enjoying your recipes, tips and love seeing your everyday life and family. ❤️🙏🏻

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I’m really grateful and happy you are enjoying them.💕

[@maliaw8392]

Knowing you feel the most natural step would be to make all of us plate of your amazing food and sit dow for a meal, lends itself to reinforcing just how genuine and personable you are. It is so easy to know if I were to meet you at the store, you would be no different. For my Q&A, I would love to learn more about steam canning, how it works, what you can process in it and does it make some canning projects easier. Here in the states (I am in Iowa) there is an appliance company called Presto that has come up with electric pressure canner, and I am curious to try one. I follow Becky on Acre Homestead and she has one and swears by it’s simplicity and convenience. As always, I await my notification bell for your next video! Peace and blessings to you, your family, and all your followers!❤

[@renitahebner3084]

Get it. You will love it. Mine broke (hubby fixed it) and I thought I was going to cry. It will change your life.

[@susananderson9619]

Ohhh,I love chicken Paprikas,I am the only person I know thats ever made it, numerous times,too. But it's been years since I have had it.

[@kristenhasleftthebuilding1380]

This was favorite dish my Aunt who has now passed made me. Wonderful thoughts of her watching you make this. New to watching and so loving your content 😊💕🙏🏼

[@sallyhostetter2820]

Your grey cap looked so cute. The meal you made looked wonderful.

[@lindamills9444]

Not a question just a comment, I have told you I am new to your channel, and you are at the top of my favorites.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you so much!

[@524FrmGrl]

Our 1200 pound round bale prices are $60 a piece. We are now in a drought here in Southeast Missouri, we have fattened out our cattle to sell to individuals for several years, but getting out of that now. We don’t know if we will be able to get a second cut off our hay or not. We have 200 head of cattle and about 500 acres, we row crop about half that. We also rent about 200 acres. Prayers to everyone in droughts.

[@barbaranielsen2888]

Yummy, yummy! Looks delicious!

[@r7eagle_]

I loved watching your video, and I felt like I was a member of your family. Thank you so much for sharing, and I will have to bring some of your ideas over to my cooking channel. You made my day.

[@ginamedley8484]

Wow that looks so tasty! Rice and corn are my kids favorite side dishes. Maybe they would enjoy the chicken as well! I have been wanting to find some new dinner recipes to try.

[@suelewis9133]

I enjoy your videos all the different things you prepare and seeing how you all live and farm. Do you get tired of cooking and do you like to cook new meals to serve your family? Thank you for sharing the good recipes you make.

[@schwarck]

Sometimes I wish I found your channel earlier but I then I think I found it at just the right time

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I’m so sorry for whatever loss you’re experiencing. Sending prayers for strength and healing.❤️

[@lynsmith2698]

I love your zest for life. It’s hard not to smile when I watch you. We love to barter as well. James did some welding on the neighbours Cat and we traded it for over a 100 lbs of beautiful beef. Great video 💕🇨🇦

[@loriwalston6906]

I don't have any questions but just wanted to pop on and say I have been catching up on a number of your videos and am sure enjoying your content. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your beautiful life with us.

[@amma3536]

We make dumplings with ours. Delicious!! Take care and be blessed.

[@cassandras1688]

That transfer of cows went extremely well! Added squash (acorn) and a little zucchini to my tomato sauce and it was delicious so thanks for the tip.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

That’s awesome!😊

[@fredsimmons2793]

My friend raised a steer for meat and when it was quite large one day his 11 year old daughter was in the field and the steer was attracted by her period,and began trying to mount her.She escaped over a gate,and when her dad got home from work he immediately backed up the loading truck,loaded the steer, and proceeded to shoot the steer and put it down in the bed of the truck! He then drove the steer directly to the butchers and was back home in time to eat a mildly late supper! We adopted this method when we handled wild hogs, as sometimes they broke out of trucks when they had their first contact with traffick, seem to work out alright!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Thanks friend!

[@katrine7321]

Ohh. . I could almost smell that Paprikasch. I'm going to make that this week!!!

[@katrine7321]

I made this for dinner on Tuesday. My husband loved it and we had enough for 2 days.

[@evabloecher]

Hello Chelsea and thank you for your fantastic videos. Have you thought about getting a milking machine so it will be much easier for you, or perhaps it is the easiest way to milk the cow yourself? Have you people employed to help you with all your projects at your wonderful farm or perhaps volunteers? Wonderful that you will have a Q and A video, thank you.

[@Li_lwichhomestead]

I’m so excited for your cookbook. 😀

[@catracampolieto8989]

Q&A ? Will you be sharing videos of direct sowing next spring? I feel that we're always learning, at any age. I try to soak up as much gardening information as I can. I feel gardening is my addiction and I'm so in love with gardening. Dinner looked fabulous. I can't wait for your cookbook. Have an awesome day.

[@lisavandyke8833]

I gasped when you said your hay was expensive at $200 a ton! lol I wish our horse hay was only $200 a ton! I pay $125 for a 700 lb round bale and I paid $15 for 55lb square bale! I'm feeding my 3 mares 6 round bales a month and when they have their foals in spring I start feeding the square bales and go through 3 a day. I wish hay was your price here in Kelowna! Your dinner looked amazing!!! My mouth was watering! lol Take care! Can't wait for your next video! 😊

[@kristielynnclarke3643]

I’ve never heard anyone else mention chicken paprikash before! My dads side of the family is from Hungary so it’s our favorite comfort food ❤

[@rhondasmith4272]

❤️from Ontario! Enjoy your videos!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Great looking chicken!

[@1jmass]

That dinner does look yummy. One thing I have noticed when you plate food is the serving size. I do realize that so many times we tend to eat larger portions than we should, or at least that is true of most of my family and friends in the US. Many of the cooking channels that I watch, however, tend to lean toward very small serving sizes. For example, one meal that was supposed to feed a family of five (two adults and three kids aged 9-12) used one can of corn. I checked the label on a regular 15.5 oz size can of corn, and it stated it contained 3.5 1/2 cup servings. First of all, 3.5 servings will not feed a family of five, and having raised three kids, I can pretty much assure you that 1/2 cup of corn will not be enough for them. Back to my original point. I realize your kids have a wide age range, but most of them appear to be teenagers who, if they are like mine were, can definitely eat like they have a hollow leg as my grandmother used to say. Your serving sizes seem to be more in tune to what kids actually do need. All of this to say thank you for keeping it realistic. Your food is made from wholesome ingredients that, depending on where you live, are easily accessible, or at least a similar replacement. Not always fancy, but packed with nourishing ingredients and made with love.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Esp the budget meal vids They’ll make enough for a toddler n feed a grown person Uh no

[@househen1]

I want to know more about the cookbook you and your Mom are working on. I just recently found you and enjoy your channel. By the sound of your calming voice and upbeat attitude I take it you are a very patient person.

[@WonderInReverie]

Hello, I just bought a KitchenAid and found there is a screw you can turn up or down so you can make your bowl higher or lower. It is just behind where the bowl sits and apparently it's on all the models. That should help with the mixer not leaving any of the food on the bottom. I hope this helps.

[@yellowdeer7163]

Looks like the cows loaded up very nicely. Thanks for the cooking lesson and it did look delicious.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

They did great!😊

[@kaybusby7507]

Your meal looks delicious will see if I can find a recipe and make for my family. Glad the move of cattle went well. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your time with your family

[@lucytree7892]

Since you mention your childhood when you are cooking, could you please tell us, did your mom also do canning and make mostly all home cooked meals and how many siblings do you have? Would love a drone shot of your property from the house to the garden, barn and the woods.

[@sandycordle1277]

How many kids do you all have its so lovely to have them to help/cook.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

7 at home.

[@bradschmidt1780]

My wife and I have just started watching your channel and saw you got a freeze dryer. I saw how you were planning your room for it but you definitely need more space around it. It needs to air flow around it. It produces a good amount of heat and you’ll need a way to get rid of it.

[@nancyrasmussen2016]

It looks very yummy. Well just have to make it and taste for ourselves. Nancy from nebraska

[@wcoastlaurie-7-2]

🌿Your content is wholesome, informative, humorous, kind, fun, honest,loving,and besides the size of your family, I can relate to something in every single video I have watched. Do you ever do live streams? Can’t wait for your family cookbook,will pre orders be an option?

[@lunachic03dh]

I have got to make that Chicken Paprikash dish. Looks so delicious. I really enjoy watching your videos

[@maryables6752]

Looks delicious and yummy

[@joannak4640]

Fantastic video!! You have been putting in a lot of hard work for us to be able to enjoy a glimpse into your wonderful life! Thank you for that ❤️ Dinner looked so good it made me hungry. It was funny because as you were breaking up the chicken and adding the sour cream, I thought that it would be delicious over mashed potatoes 😋 I can't think of any questions right now. I've been following you for so many years, I feel like you're my sister! I can't wait to see you utilize the freeze dryer. Are you going to start with your frozen fruits and veggies? Have a great rest of your weekend ❤️

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

It’s good over braised shredded or chopped cabbage too For keto

Hey sweet friend. I thought you might like this one.❤️

[@sherry2836]

Your Paprikash looked delicious! I love your even tempered and positive personality. Did you finish forming the arena/skating pond area? And will your cookbook be available to purchase and hopefully ship to the US?

[@kareneakers9540]

If you do a Q&A I would like to know if you attend church as a family? I really enjoy your videos especially when you cook! I love to cook myself so it’s nice to watch others cook and learn new recipes God Bless!

[@kbert1983]

I really respect your intention to not focus on your children on your channel. Such a nice change from so many family channels who solely make money off their children's lack of privacy and inability to consent.
