Sorry for the technical difficulties! Gotta love Country Internet 😂 We should be up and running now. Thanks for being patient y’all!

[@erikarichardson]

Thank y’all for all that you do. Have a wonderful holiday weekend! God bless 🇺🇸

[@JenniferChurchman]

I understand the country internet and having been binge watching y'all from the beginning to catch up, it happens. Thank you guys for putting stuff out on such a "busy, holiday". Some of us are stuck at home with limited wifi. Hope y'all have a wonderful and safe weekend!! Keep up the good work!!! By the way, Meg I tried your dough recipe the other for pizza and a loaf, it was amazing!! I've tried so many recipes but this one has been the best. Not sure if it was the extra yeast or no eggs or maybe it was super hot with no AC but it was a couple good days of food for us. Thank you!!

[@MistyFifty]

Thank you so much...💜💜💜

[@staceybert1975]

have you ever considered rain collection system

[@kckreations]

Meg try some alfoil with butter spread over it and some lemon pepper then put your fish down and wrap it then bake it the oven. Oh man 😍 lovely. Also what you did with the tomato pie I do with sliced potatoes, onion and bacon layer it then cream cook in oven when nearly ready add cheese delicious

[@mrshaggard7261]

I'm 74 years old and you all give me such joy watching you all. You make my day brighter, I look forward to seeing your videos every day love yall God bless you all

[@brigettekillion7994]

There is a famous quote that I have used as my mantra for the last 11 years - "Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can, it will be enough". I believe it's a variation of an Arthur Ashe quote. It helps me center and know that everything will be ok!

[@heatherannekennedy9368]

Miss Meg - you told a WOPPER!!!! You are the FARTHEST thing from LAZY!!! Seriously - you are one hard working momma! You bless your family every day with the fruits of your labor. No shame if pie crust is not your favorite thing to make! It was my nemesis for many years too!

[@juliekennedy1296]

Heather I totally agree! Pastry of any sort is my nemesis, then I had to be gluten free! Now I make crust free or buy pastry. Meg is in NO way lazy!!

[@suesweetpea7]

MEG, I AGREE WITH YOU NO MATTER HOW BIG YOUR KITCHEN IS IT'S NEVER BIG ENOUGH. I LOVE TO COOK AND MY KITCHEN IS MY FAVORITE PLACE IN MY APARTMENT.

[@deloresochoa6235]

Dear Hollar family, wanted to add a suggestion to your beautiful tomato pie...my great grand mama would add a layer of thinly sliced potatoes, or thinly sliced squash and last but not least, spinach leaves instead of a pastry pie crust. Apply the rest of your ingredients...tomatoes, onions, basil and repeat only with the tomatoes, onions and basil, then top with your mayo and choice of cheese spread. Bake and let cool until just warm. We still eat it with sliced buttered bread. It's an old Jewish recipe from way back in great, great, great grand mamas time, living in Spain. Yummy to your tummy as my great grand papa would say. LOL GOD bless you all in Messiah Yeshua.

[@evalinawarne1337]

My grandmother and mother were German Jew. Her mom died 1921 during my mom's birth. My mom was the very BEST mom (mutter) Shalom✡️

[@perfectlessons]

Oh my goodness that sounds amazing!

[@benevolentblue]

Turns it into a ratatouille if you add squash and tators, I even add eggplant to mine.

[@lindapearson2376]

This sounds so good also! Going to give it a try too!

[@wayneclarke1727]

Oh that's right! The starch in the potatoes would cling to the upper crust, while having a thickening effect on the tomato juice in the pie! I totally forgot that! It also adds to keeping the upper crust from getting sogged ...good input!

[@jacquelynr2900]

As much as you do in the kitchen alone, you are NOT lazy Meg!!

[@conservfriends9651]

Always enjoy your vids!!! I think I'm the first to say...Meg has become a Carolinian! Not once, but twice, I heard her say... "Y'All". :)

[@heidibartle2241]

Love Meg’s comment - just finished editing, uploading it, put the baby down for a nap, made bread and now out to plant potatoes - she’s AMAZING

[@Christina-ve2tv]

I had the same thought after her comment. She gets so much done in one day! I’m many years older than her but she’s truly an inspiration to me. ❤️

[@denisewilson8367]

And then she cooked supper and helped with the evening chores & milking. Then probably gave the baby girl, Lilian, her bath & read her a story & rocked her to sleep. That's all after a full day's work.

[@marywells1197]

Meg is amazing! She does it all! She's my kind of gal!

[@kukuucka]

Guys! Its after 11 pm where I live. Im always like "man Im dead tired gotta go sleep" and then you post and I just HAVE to watch it. Always worth every minute :) love you all so much

[@Angie29449]

Lol Meg passed Ben very quickly on the row of potatoes. So glad to see the hats!

[@movinon1242]

Little people don't realize how bad a strain on the back it can be... being tall with a substantial upper body, and then having to bend over to do stuff.

My MIL taught me a quick easy crust recipe 1/3 cup milk, 2/3 cup oil, 1 tsp salt and 2 cups flour makes 2 crust that are flaky Can be pressed or rolled between wax paper and can be used for froozen pies

[@Bex-rg8pj]

My mom was 1 of 10. My dad and 8 uncles were farmers. After a few years of farming on their own with young families they decided to grow corn like my grandfather did. One uncle grew the sweet corn on the end of a field planted with a planter. I remember shucking a heaping truck load or more of corn for our family. All of my uncles did the same.

[@cantnv1]

THIS is probably my favorite episode, I could watch a whole channel of Meg cooking all of what she does to feed the whole family, it fascinates me how much you both do!

[@nancywatson9535]

Meg...You make that kitchen work great!!! It may be small...but its the Heart ❤ you put into it which makes it fantastic!! Love your family.

[@lisamadison2671]

Thank you so much for explaining that noise. It sounds like a muted version of the emergency broadcast alarm. I felt like I was going crazy cause no one else in the house heard it. I'd probably switch back and forth with a fan for my sanity. Thank you for an enjoyable video as always.

[@mirandam8021]

Meg, you are the wife and mom I aspire to be one day! You’re amazing!

[@mirandam8021]

I know that was home made mayo you used on that tomato pie! I will be making that recipe this year for the first time! Can’t wait!

[@breathoflifefarm7197]

I planted hundred day corn in August one year. And it made a nice crop -to my amazement and in less than 100 days. It was a wonderful surprise!

[@StaxKash1]

Reading the comments shows me its not just me... You busted your butt in the mid day summer sun for so long, and everyone pipes up to how amazing Meg is. We get no recognition for our part, lol. Great job to both of you, we have 4 children and it's not easy, but we keep chickens and a garden, as well as feed birds and work full time. Some people don't realize just how much work it is!

[@GODBLESSES]

Love you all. That tomato pie looks great hope to try. I just wanted to share a garden tip given to me in my teens as I planted with a nun in highschool. She said always water the row or hole 1st before planting because the roots seeks moisture down deep. It helps especially if there is drought. God Bless You

[@cliftonwhitchurch5309]

My maternal grandfather homesteaded the sandhills of eastern Colorado, tough country even for cattle. Cash crops were tough to come by. SOMEHOW he grew popcorn on some good bottomland, processed it and marketed it himself for that precious thing in The Great Depression called "cash in my pocket." He figured out selling popcorn direct to theatres in the metropolis of Denver would put the cash in his pocket rather than in a middleman's pocket. Just 70 miles or so in his Model T! Bottom line? I don't know. I guess farmers gotta figure out how to work with Mother Nature to make a success.

[@WinsomeWomanWanderer]

My son who does AC suggested that the buzz of your A/C sounds like the fan blade may just be dirty from cooking grease, etc, & be off balance which causes it to strike the fan housing. The fact that it has been growing progressively worse is consistent with this being the cause. If it were the motor it would more likely just quit on day, or give of a burning odor as a warning.

[@southloupriverhomestead4696]

We heat with wood and have a blower on the woodstove/fireplace. We have had to replace the fan on that before because i was loud. It is in a large common area that includes cooking Do you think this applies to the conversation?

[@michellel5444]

I learn so much from random comments about things I didn't think I needed to know. Thanks!

[@christinenatvig2313]

I can attest to that fact. Called the fire dept because I could smell something in my vents.

[@janetwithers7427]

I have never had a tomato pie, but it looks fantastic. Planting more potatoes is a great idea. 💕

[@ilsedejong3816]

I think, it's such a privilege to be able to watch your precious family blossom and grow! Blossom - in the growth of your farm and grow in the extension of your babies! I REALLY think a Hollard homestead cookbook would sell like hot-cakes! God Bless you all and keep flourishing - You all truly rock! XxxX (Home cooked is the best cooked!)

[@loriwatts4449]

I make a biscuit dough for my tomato pie. I add cheese and herbs to the biscuit dough and Pat it out in my pie pan a little bit thicker than a pie crust. Then I add those other ingredients and bake and it does not have a crust on top. It has cheese but it is like a tomato biscuit pie! And if you do the crust with herbs and cheese in it, and have any left over, you can roll it very thin and salted a little and make crackers out of it. Those are the most delicious crackers! Try it it is so delicious. And I know you make beautiful biscuits!

[@Christina-ve2tv]

That biscuit crust sounds delicious!

[@loriwatts4449]

@@Christina-ve2tv it is really a wonderful little trick I made up on my own. I used Bisquick but you can make your regular biscuit dough. I added Italian seasonings, oregano and cheddar cheese, shredded. Just mix up your biscuit dough and add the seasonings and cheese, also I added garlic and onion powder to the biscuit mix. Then Pat out your crust as thick as you like it. I also mix up a mayonnaise using the garlic and herbs. I cut up my ripe tomatoes, I like to peel them. I sprinkled a tiny bit of sugar and a little bit of salt and pepper on top of the tomatoes. Then I added the mayonnaise layer in the cheese went on top. You can add other things such as basil and onions if you like. The crust goes on the bottom. You bake it at 4:25 for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden. It is so delicious! I made many of these pies from my mother. I have not made one since she passed away in 2020. We have an abundance of beautiful tomatoes this year. I may break out the old recipe in honor of her. This is a recipe my mother-in-law gave me. I made a good many changes to that recipe. And this is what I came up with! I hope many of you will try it. Also the crackers that I made with the leftover dough are wonderful. When my daughter went off to college she left with a big container of those crackers. They were a hit in the dorm! They are a delicious snack. I have not seen any crackers similar to these manufactured by any stores.

[@Christina-ve2tv]

@@loriwatts4449 Thank you for the extra info! 🙏🏻 Dumb question…how do you peel fresh tomatoes? Or do you blanch them to remove the skins?

[@loriwatts4449]

@@Christina-ve2tv I use a very sharp knife or you can latch them. If it is out of season you can drain a jar of canned tomatoes or just use a drained can of diced tomatoes. You can have it all year! Do drain your Tomatoes well. You can save that vegetable broth and put it in a soup or a stew for a later meal. I tried to season every level lightly so I have good flavor throughout.

I am so trying the tomato pie. Looks delightful and no pie shell perfect fits my new life long eating (diet) thank you Meg have a safe 4th of July

I am doing the tomato pie this weekend. I've made tomato tarts with frozen phyllo dough and it is good. Meg, you have the most endearing and truly contagious laugh. WTG, Hollar Homestead!

Such a cute couple and great example to your children! 👍

[@carolyngregory9354]

I just watched Becky at Acre Homestead make your pie, with a few modifications, including adding a pie crust. She referenced your channel in her video today. Her recipe looked so good.

[@pinkyaddy905]

You are so lucky to have a wife like that, good mother, cook, helps with all the planting, very pleasant, I just love her.

[@darlenejordahl3187]

That place looks like a daycare, foster child place and they had to help with clothing, etc for older kids too. Since they had several sewing machines, Serger they must have maybe supplemented things. Asking clothes, etc.

Making tomato pie for the 4th, what a great video.

[@sallyburkett-caskinette8723]

I’ll bet everyone wished there was more tomato pie!

[@chrisburch8020]

you will love a zucchini casserole, slice lots of zucchini and put in sauce pan (large) with water to cook till tender, drain and reserve the liquid. the liquid is used to make stuffing in a pan as package reads, mix a can of cream of chicken or mushroom soup and equal of sour cream. keep all items separate, slice carrots alot of them double that of zucchini, saute onions and ground beef . with all of this will make 2 deep casserole dishes to layer like carrots, zucchini, meat, sour cream , stuffing, and keep repeating till stuffing on top. cook 40 to 1 hour to heat everyting together mostly.. at 350.... those that don't do vegetables well will mostly taste the meat and stuffing. gets alot of carrots and zucchini used up.

[@annetteandhercrafts]

So Tomatoe Pie is like a baked Caprese salad with onions? That sounds EXTREMELY DELICIOUS! Over a crust will be like fresh pizza. 😋 and now I'm hungry. 😅

[@catracampolieto8989]

Not a problem with no sound. I watched it earlier without sound.....and now I'm watching with sound. Can't beat a double dose of Hollar in one day.

[@deannewilliams3321]

Dang, that tomato pie looks good! I’m the same way when it comes to my first fried green tomato lol. Every day I tell ‘em c’mon baby, grow! I’m getting spoiled to all the afternoon rain showers, so much easier to pull weeds and loving the temps. Mosquitoes…not so much. I still look dressed for winter so I won’t get bit. A bee suit would be ok with me. Y’all have a great 4th!! ✌🏻

[@kennethgibbons366]

Ben I really loved your hat - I've got one the same - and it used to be my Dads. Always great to see Meg cooking and she had really good advice to others about "wishing and wanting". Keep well - God bless you all.

[@dixsigns1717]

Ben, the cow will love the corn. And, the milk will be awesome. Go easy at first.

[@jenlynn401]

We use biscuits to make the "crust". Yum! Sprinkling bacon bits on top of the cheese.

[@TheHollarHomestead]

Ooooh yes that would be so good!

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

I am always amazed at what you do with that Tiny Kitchen. I'm waiting for Ben to build UI kitchen extension and a new bedroom for the baby. I think you two can do anything.

[@jessicarogers4618]

This Italian says That’s called a tomato casserole. A tomato pie is a pizza crust with a crushed fresh tomatoes mixed with carmelized onions with fresh basil. Baked until golden crust and then served cold or room temperature. Enjoy. Of course call it what you like and eat what you like! 😂 And thanks so much for the videos!

[@metalmartha2571]

Its very difficult to grow without rain, I hear that! Times like these make good farmers awesome ones! Great gardeners are great because they have learned from all the past lessons that the garden taught them. Good on you for noticing when it was time to give up on that mini corn crop. Tatters will heal your soil as a bonus ( potatoes are soil fixers much like sunflowers are) Meg, your cooking always looks divine ♥️

[@becky2725]

Miss Meg Betty Crocker farm cookbook. In food processor for 2 9' pie crust 2-1/2 cups flour,3/4 cup lard,1/2 teaspoon salt crumb then drop ice cold water 6-7 tablespoons slowly while blending. Its a game changer. You can roll them out and freezes beautiful. Also mayo baked on chicken with parm cheese will shock you. Juices flow. By the way I can't bake not even cookies. But I make a mean chickn-pot-pie. Thank you all God Bless

[@cbbrosnaham3739]

Meg, You are the best!! Everyone loves you and Ben & the kids of course! I couldn't believe how excited you both were about this "tomato pie" for the longest time.....We had a basket full of tomatoes left from our crops & I froze several bags of tomatoes..& we have fresh basil. ..SO I made 2 Tomato Pies - WOW fantastic, plus I did use crusts - not homemade, like usual but, still amazing. I added additional seasoning on one pie - the other was Meg original with crust - I posted pics and your recipe on my FB page I called it Hollar's Homestead Tomato Pie - many of my friends were so happy. I hope they will also check out and subscribe to your channel. Meg, you are so right that the taste, esp. just after cooking is a taste bomb, so pleasing....so surprising....and I finally understand why you were so excited - absolutely fabulously delicious! The best mouth pleaser in a very long time. Thanks so much Meg! can't wait till next tomato season and have the best tomatoes to use - I'll make several then and freeze them for months of joyful eating.

[@shannoncook9915]

Meg, you look adorable in that hat!

[@SunraeSkatimunggr]

I wouldn't be surprised to see a little corn grow up through your potatoes, just because you can tell not all of it germinated the first time. I lived in California before you did, being as I am 66 and I was a kid, but the drought started back in the 70's even though they have not admitted it yet. I remember so many oak trees dying in Northern California and everybody freaking out. I love watching you cook "sister". I am so impressed. I have some big tomatoes growing so this new recipe is great! Is that homemade mayo?

Living halfway between Vegas and Death Valley, there is a short wimdow to grow corn for ears. I grow lots of corn for for the plants. Give it 4 weeks, its 2 to 3 feet tall and the heat will kill it. So as it gets hot, I pull the corn for fodder. In the odd year that i get corn for eating its a win win.

[@kimsmith5471]

Ben , we trialed planting rows of corn vs. postage stamp blocks. We got a better yield of corn with the postage stamp blocks. It has something to do with the pollination. Sounds crazy , I know. Maybe next season trial it . Still a fabulous looking garden .

💚 Yum-O, that tomato pie looks great, definitely gonna try it! 🍅. I love watching the time-lapse rototilling 😅. 💚

You know without the crust, you've cut out the carbs and I can have it for my diabetic self! Yayyy! I'm going to make this! If you had used a crust, I would've had to figure out HOW to do a crust and now I don't have to even stress about it. So thank you!

[@thankfulblessings2412]

The apartment we currently live in, the only counter space is the size of a dish drain rack, the is used to dry dishes. Most of the time our "counter space" becomes the triangle divider in the front of a double sink, the strip of the top of the open fridge door and put a cutting board on a cold stove burner. Blessings to you.

Wish you would have shown the tomato pie when you cut into it. Looks so good!

[@edithlane7158]

For foolproof pie crust try the recipe from tenderflake lard and use about ½ cup less flour. Never had it fail. Don't over handle it. I would make the tomato pie without crust and it looks yum.

Meg & Ben, Jack & Tyler, Britt, 'Munchy' and 'Buggy', Thank you so so so much for vlogging and being so wonderful. Such a polite and helpful family is a joy to see. I have had the best and most enjoyable last 2 weeks watching my way through the entire 'whole lotta hollar' playlist (yes all 582 plus a few not on the list). It has been a delight and I thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. Y'all rock!! As a 63 yr old British woman with mobility issues I have to say if there is ever an option to 'come back' and live a whole new life then I want to live in a family like yours.
