One of the things I truly love about your cooking is that you actually prepare filling amounts of food for your kids/family. I love watching videos like these & am sometimes left wondering how are some people cooking such little amounts of foods (especially proteins) to feed a huge family. Growing kids need to eat! Keep up the great job! ❤

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

As always, it's lovely to watch such a beautiful, well-adjusted, *happy* family. Your approach to cooking is so practical and smart. Everyone is always well fed with delicious real foods and you're not a slave to your kitchen. Instead, you're free to do all the things a busy, modern mother needs to do with and for her family. You are all just a joy to watch. ❤

I’ve thought about getting meat from a local farmer, but feel intimidated because I don’t know what to order or how to store. My husband doesn’t love the idea of freezing a ton of meat. I’d just like to see your process, cost savings, what cuts you order, etc. love your videos!

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks so much and thanks for the video suggestion!! I definitely understand feeling overwhelmed by it at the beginning. We started by finding a farm that did a meat CSA so each month we got a share for 8-10 different cuts of meat. That was so helpful because I didn't have to decide and it forced me to use some new cuts. Not sure if there would be anything like that in your area but it might be worth looking into!

[@LivingInTheSouthOfSpain]

I love to make salmon! Here is my super easy recipe: 1 whole salmon from Sam's or Costco. I use a double broiler and grease it so the salmon doesn't stick. If thawed, cook at 425 for 20 minutes and check the salmon. I just drizzle olive oil, lemon pepper, and sliced lemons. It is really good, cuts like butter, and better than any restaurant salmon. I do the same with cod for fish tacos. Homemade fresh milled tortillas are the best, as you know! If you want spicier you can use Cajun or other spices. I can't wait to try your recipes! They sounds fantastic and I love the easy and preparedness to them!Thank you

I love your practical, realistic approach! It's so interesting to see how where we live impacts what we eat. I grew up eating a ton of fresh seafood my Grandfather caught in the summer. He would go crabbing with his friends just about every morning during the season, then come home and steam them. I stayed with them in the summer while my parents worked, and my grandmother and I would sit around their table and pick the crabs and sort the meat into piles. Big lumps for crab cakes, small shreds for soup, and anything in between for eating now. She could freeze the crab cakes and soup she made. My husband likes to fish, so once we got married there was often fish in our freezer he caught and filleted.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

It's a good question! Potatoes are definitely harder for that than rice. Mashed potatoes are a good one for reheating but roasted or baked potatoes aren't quite as good as when they're fresh. Maybe that's why our kids love dousing them with butter and sour cream :).

Dutch ovens last forever. I have one I inherited from my mum. It’s from the early 70’s and still in perfect conditions. It’ ll be inherited by my son who loves to cook. 😊 Here in France people tend to have their main meal at lunch as well. We have our main animal protein at lunch and just vegetable soup, gratin (what you would call casserole), or quiche or a salad for dinner. We also eat later in the evening as you folks over in the US. Dinner is generally at 7pm. I have friends who sit down at 8pm. In the cities, like here in the Paris region , people work to around 6pm, kids go to (primary)school until 4.30pm, secondary can be up to 6pm. So by the time everyone gets home, gets their homework done, dinner is late.

⁠@@Bougie92 I'm in the US, but I grew up eating this way. Everyone else I knew ate at 5:30 or 6:00 while we ate at 7 or 8 during the school year and 8 or even 9 in the summer. I still eat late!

If U can buy white fish that is thick is a good one for fish curry dish but U put the cut fish large squares and put them in last of your curry dish so it doesn't brake up into nothing... Or Fresh Salmon cut into across the fish body which is nice fried skin first and is good Omega 3 in the Skin and U can give the kids tails as they don't have bones but do check as U don't want them to choke on bones... Smoke Salmon is nice with white sauce and spring onions and cooked pasta with Salt and Pepper very very nice dish...but U need to keep an eye on this dish as it will burn...but delicious big time... U should make kids Lemon Delicious Pudding or Impossible Quiche they will love them...Quiche makes it's own base....😂😂❤❤

There are times when something we are having isn't someone's favorite but I just say this is what we are having so you can choose whether you want it or not.

How did u survive when you broke your leg? And had a new baby??

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Forced slowing down and lots of snuggles! We had a ton of help with meals and it was really helpful that Jim was home. I actually thought the newborn part wasn’t bad but the preparing and waiting for birth with a newly broken leg was awful!

@FromScratchFarmstead Praise to God you made it 🙏

Thanks for the feedback.

Sans the four kids, that looks like a lovely way to live.

I watch and enjoy everything except the eating. The lack of table manners is surprising.

[@Messier45_Pleiades]

I love your clothes.

[@terrireynolds952]

I love your channel ~ but please ~ teach your children to not scream!

[@bh4396]

Or mute your volume?

[@donnadennis5536]

I love hearing your kiddos exuberant expressions, some might call yelling😉. 💕😊

I love hearing the kids in the background. It totally adds to these videos. The food, the kids, it's all part of the beautiful energy that this mother is creating.

She's a mom of 4 littles. Kids weren't "screaming" ...they were being very well behaved littles.

I didn't hear any children screaming. I heard the baby making excited screeching noises AKA crowing which is decidedly different from screaming. The older children occasionally make loud exclamations which are normal and, again, not screaming. They're just normal sounds of children playing. Having said that, I actually agree that children should be taught not to scream. Screaming signifies they are in danger or injured and need help. Unfortunately, it's become the norm for many children to actually scream when playing and people no longer rush to see what's wrong. A bit like the boy crying wolf. Sometime between when I was a child and when i was around 22, people had stopped teaching this to their children and I have no idea why. We were told unless you were injured or in danger and needed help (we're not talking a skinned knee here), no screaming of any kind! If a child screamed, people flooded out of their homes to help, ready to do battle. And if nothing was wrong, nobody was hurt? Everyone was dragged home for the rest of the day with a talking to. Now the children in my neighborhood scream all the time while playing tag or ANY game and I think I'm the only one who still looks to check they're okay.
