Just wanted to say Hi. I really enjoy your videos and been watching them since you moved to the property. We are also have been living in Katy before decided to sell our house in 2020 and move to an acreage. Still in Texas as well and gardening has been a bit challenging because of the extreme heat. I also have been watching Rhodes, Hollars and Jess since the same time I have found your channel, but at that moment I didn’t know all of you knew each other. I have been really inspired by you guys to continue working on my property, which hasn’t been easy since it took a while to build up our house by ourselves. We built a barndo. So kind of similar to you we are living not at the standard house. I have 5 kids and my main concern about being on the acreage is dealing with the snakes. How do you guys handle that? I see your kids often run around barefoot. And I’m scared to let them out without rubber boots. We slowly getting accustomed to dealing with snakes, but still it’s not very pleasant. Would really appreciate some advice or tricks if you have. I also would really like to get know some fellow Texan homesteaders as sometimes it can feel lonely. Majority of people think that we are crazy leaving Suburbs and huge house behind for a much smaller self-built barndo far away from city.

Thank you for sharing your family's secret recipe with us! Sounds absolutely scrumptious LOL! Blessings on your family and your growing season Kiddo!🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿 💚

I just love how enthusiastic your children were about you not sharing your 'secret' recipe with us. It's great that they're this young and have this value about what you're giving them. Having said that, my youngest Son, soon to be 30, is a cheese based life form, his favourite herb is rosemary and we use garlic here like we're on a mission to rid the world of vampires. If we were your neighbours, he'd be inviting himself for dinner whenever he could smell that cooking! I'm on a strict Ketogenic protocol for medical reasons, and allergic to the whole cereal family, but you mentioned lasagne... I do a keto version of cottage pie, so now I'm thinking this may be the bomb as the topping.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Yes! What a great idea! Just adapting the spread to something that works for you! I hope you love it!

[@tamialexander2487]

Yes book it! But in the 70’s you also got Astro tickets for straight A’s! Nosebleed section of the astrodome but 2 tickets every 6 weeks!

Whhhhhaaaaattt?! That’s amazing!

[@jeshurunfarm]

Jess thought me how to do carrots... and now I have made my own mayo... I am now unstoppable.... hallelujah! Thank you ma'am. Respect from Africa 🇿🇦

[@gelwood99]

Dang girl, that looks amazing! Focaccia is the best. Those pools of olive oil become the best parts of the bread. I would like to suggest adding the herbs to the dough, you can also add dehydrated tomato julienned to the herbed dough, and with that spread on it, WOW!!! Years ago I worked at a bakery and I added many different things to the dough. Top it with a light sprinkle of flake salt before you bake it. I couldn't keep enough baked and we always sold out.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Right?! They’re the best. Oh those add ins sound delicious!

[@CopperRaven]

Oh girl, yes! I love that you subtly tell all the moms out there that its ok to forget you have bread proofing without actually saying it. I don't know how many times I have forgotten my proof....life gets crazy sometimes. Happy Mothers Day to you and anyone watching, not forgetting the Dads that also play Mom too.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Yes! Cheers to making forgiving bread by forgetful moms 🎉 Happy Mothers Day!

[@sunnymumstories]

I am so trying the immersion blender for mayo! I never knew you could do that and because I’m still rebuilding my kitchen I’ve been making it in the stand mixer until I gota blender - which is kind a messy 😂

[@RustyBobbins]

Oh, btw, the book it program is still around!

[@BetterTogetherLife]

That’s awesome!!!

[@Anamnesis]

Agreed on blender mayo, it's tough to get right. One alternative trick in a regular blender is to just use a hard boiled egg yolk instead of a whole raw egg, but the immersion blender is definitely the way to go. I've also done grilled cheese with mayo instead of butter on my own bread too, but this oven method is also definitely the way to go. 🙂

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Thanks for the info! 🥰

[@marysgarden]

Yes!!! Book it! I loved going for that pepperoni pizza with my dad!! 😂

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Pepperoni pizza! Should that be the next recipe video?

[@decoratingtheshack]

OH MY GOSH I WANT TO MAKE THISSSSSSSS

[@TheBabcocks]

That looks delicious! And never too much garlic!

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Absolutely!!! Never too much!

[@amandaemerson4466]

I have been making our mayo for a while now and I normally only do the egg and oil. I sit in front of the oven when I use the broil because it freaks me out and I don't want to ruin whatever I'm broiling. LOL. I've only started using the broiler this year because of worry about it.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

That’s awesome Amanda! What kind of oil do you use? 😁

[@raybo34]

Great video. It went very well. Definitely made me hungry. I am going to have to try this for sure. I like Miracle Whip. Any ideas on how to make something like that?

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Hmmm, maybe it would work with miracle whip? 🤷🏼‍♂️ But the good thing is you can’t taste the mayo in this Everyday bread. It’s basically just a really FANCY cheesy garlic bread!

[@raybo34]

@@BetterTogetherLife I meant making something that tastes like Miracle whip. Wondering if you had insights in that.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Well you could just buy mayo for this recipe, and it doesn’t taste like mayo at all. Beau had no idea that there was mayo in the recipe, and he’s been eating this from our family for the last 15 years! 🤣🤣 But if you’re asking do I know of a homemade miracle whip recipe, then no unfortunately I don’t know that recipe. But I’m sure it’s out there somewhere. 😁

[@raybo34]

@@BetterTogetherLife Ok, thank you. Bread looks amazing.

Haven’t been sleeping well and have sourdough starter I just got last week so making this as my first recipe. Bout to start bulk proof. Can’t wait to try it and share with my fam. And where did you get that apron, I love it! I thought it was a jumper lol.

Yay! I swear it’s good for the soul ❤️. The apron is Amazon and I’d totally get it again. amzn.to/4dAyByF

[@BetterTogetherLife]

You know what. I wish I could. It’s actually a treasure! Beaus grandma cooked with this and we inherited it when she passed. I do love it. But it’s definitely a two hander 😂

[@Kwicdrawmcgraw]

I'm looking to move to West Houston. I'd like some acres and was looking at Katy, Fulshead, Brookshire and Pattinson. Any suggestions?

[@tamialexander2487]

Bellville! Just a little further!

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Brookshire and Pattison will be much more land for your money. Further east will be more expensive and likely more restrictions. But decide your non negotiables and work within the area that provides those.

[@JMK_Fam]

how do you handle humidity from building up inside the house

[@brandynash1409]

Air conditions are dehumidifiers. I live on the east texas/ south Arkansas/ north Louisiana border. Not far from them. Humidity is intense, but it’s one reason people in the south age slower. Our skin stays moisturized.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

We have to have air conditioning here, so that helps. And our Mr Cool mini splits have a dry mode setting which helps A TON!!

[@lesleywatkins1172]

I’ve tried so many times to make sourdough but it just gets away with me! I make Poolish bread which is similar but just one loaf at a time. It’s a Greek bread.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Oh!!! I’ll have to try that. Yum!

[@angelaagee1077]

Do you have any weird listed for your bread recipe on this video that's in regular increments and not weighed I don't have a food scale

[@BetterTogetherLife]

I don’t personally. Sorry! Our different flours we use have different weights. So I’m always using the scale to get a more consistent outcome. But check out the clever carrot for the recipe. She might offer a measuring cup option. www.theclevercarrot.com/2022/04/best-sourdough-focaccia-bread-recipe/
