When Life Mails You Lemons

[@shirleycunningham8828]

I love seeing Buggy in the kitchen with Meg. She will be able to run the whole place by the time she is 10 years old. Building, and farming, and cooking. She can do it all. Lol.

[@Inspirationaldesigns]

What I love is the fact Meg treats her like an adult rather than shooing her away she explains what she is doing and why. not only is buggy learning from her mama.. us mamas out here are also learning from their interactions. ❤

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Meg, you remind me of the Italians, performing culinary wonders in tiny space, unlike millions of women who use huge kitchens to heat frozen store bought dishes:)))

[@Steve-od6hi]

ROTFL! SOoooo True

[@stickolascage2936]

😂😂nice comment sir 👌🏾. Yeah house sizes continue to rise while family sizes drop at the same time

[@DixieLivingHomestead]

​@@stickolascage2936It's a cycle that needs to be broken.

[@iamtranyceproductions]

This is so true!!! 😂

[@RTCPhotoWork]

And unlike millions more men who don't cook at all.

[@Katmcali]

Best fed family thanks to sweet Meg. She is a rock star in the kitchen!

[@cnew66nev]

Yeah they just keep popping out those kids just like the Rhodes family!!!! They like having their boo** hang to the floor!!!

[@sabinacallahan8204]

I would love to be able to make sourdough bread or have the recipe.

[@cnew66nev]

@@Katmcali they are all Trump supporters.Disgusting!!

[@maryjane-vx4dd]

​@@sabinacallahan8204I'm surprised by the recipes I find with Google. Maybe?

[@jeanninewakefield4630]

One daughter named her starter Jane Dough, one named her MichaelAngeldough, mine is named Leonardough.

I love when you bring us along in the kitchen!

[@kellyduncan1579]

I enjoyed seeing Meg cooking. Thanks.

[@Valerie_Dawn]

Very nice to get all that info in one video. It's feels like it's been a long time since we got a *Meg in the kitchen* video. Thanks.

[@vlunceford]

Meg’s videos are always my favorite!

[@Gray8YT]

❤️

[@nanamurf9430]

Loved this episode, love to see you teaching buggy how you do things. She will be an amazing wife and mother when she gets older. 🥰

[@glomontero6011]

Bc every woman wants to cook & creat humans.

[@pinklemonade1300]

The Buggy cooking show was the best!

[@kimmahu6868]

I wish I had a 1/4 of the kitchen skills you have ,your family is very blessed to have you.

[@TalkingThreadsMedia]

Hi, Meg. Thanks for the shout out! Glad the sourdough recipes are coming in handy! Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 11/19/2024

[@charlenefoster6779]

I think we have a mini Meg on the farmstead! So exiting to see Buggie learn all these skills. I hope she never looses her desire to learn and help.

[@Gray8YT]

❤️

[@paisleyjane9606]

Another thing to do with lemons (and you looked ready at 5:00, Meg) is to JUGGLE!

[@caterchatter4671]

Thank you Meg for another fun time AND educational, time spent in the kitchen 🎉🎉🎉

[@kristadhillon8519]

Meg with Myer lemons you use a potato peeler, peel and then chop up the zest up. That’s how I was taught when using those kinds of lemons.

[@TheHollarHomestead]

That would make it so much easier! Thanks!

[@gillianmuspic2337]

And that would make it a lot lemonier

[@amymartin7508]

I found it a notable worry... that Meyer lemon tree has thorns. Yikes! Is that true for all lemon trees? I'm like don't drive equipment my the lemon tree. Oh my gosh. Lol. 'Tractor tire cost" oh my gosh

[@nagasvoice8895]

@@amymartin7508 Most citrus trees have juvenile thorns, but grow out of it to varying degrees. You also want to rogue out thorny, bitter root sprouts coming up from below the trunk graft on commercially sold nursery trees, those can outgrow the fruitful top. I'm interested to try Meg's lemony sourdough cake!

[@janetaylor9555]

While watching this video this morning had I little laugh to myself. You were speaking about bringing the sourdough to people and that you were going to make more " in case the need arises." That's when I got amused because that phrase was appropriate if spelled " if the knead arises", also! Some of us are just easily entertained, I guess but I wanted to tell you that it made me smile. Hugs to all of you from me and my critters in Southeast, Texas.

[@jenniferdavis9515]

Love it! My sourdough starter is named Doughlene❤️

[@tracyzabelle]

i love lemon anything

[@Cthomas5678]

I do too

[@hollyditzler6274]

Hey Meg, Just popped this amazing recipe into the oven. I didn't have milk so I used my vanilla homemade creamer made with half and half and sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Adaptation is my middle name and this little switch bumped it up a notch. Caught myself cleaning the mixing spoon like a 5 year old. Thanks 😊 this is delicious❤

[@sharondoan1447]

Sounds like you just may have taken the recipe up to a higher level of deliciousness.

[@rafter8farm]

I need Meg sourdough videos in my life! Sourdough has been my nemesis for 4 years now. 😂

[@Analia-t4k]

Definitely one of your top uploads so far!

[@JBO-qg3op]

What a wonderful family. Your hard work and sacrifice is so beautiful!!!!!

[@janelhansen3190]

Love the recipe sharing! Would you want to do a video on sourdough - starting it from the beginning and what it all means?? I am intimidated by all of the information out there, seems quite complex...?.. I would like to give it a go though.

[@jodieziegler1061]

If you're interested in learning go check out Venison for Dinner she teaches a very no fuss way of doing everything homestead.

[@patriciahusk3428]

Buggy is such a great helper…she is so adorable💞! That Lemon Cake looked absolutely delicious…good way to use up your starter! Your suggestion about using the spider to take your tube pasta out of its water was excellent! I love when you let us join you in your kitchen💜!

[@angiehughes2276]

ITS THE HOLLARS!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Shoshi770NYC]

YAY!!

[@janw491]

If you get oranges in the mail try an orange cake, just the same as this cake just with orange ‼️

[@wendyhall8834]

Buggy getting to be such a big girl and such a good helper!

[@KathyHopkins-m8k]

I did the same pasta dish for supper too. I would have loved to been able to share the Parmesan cheese with y’all. 😄. Love the way you tell us of your recipe without saying every little step, ie: I’m stirring: setting it here to cool etc 😄🤣. Elizabeth is growing so fast, such a beautiful baby 🥰 and our sweet Buggy. Her hair got so long while you were out helping others to now and tall!!!😯😳 WOW. Enjoyed your company Meg 🥰🥰😊

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

You go Meg. Loved this. Ty.

[@debraflowers5905]

Yes! A video with Meg. Reminds me of the beginning of your KZbin channel when it was mostly you doing the videos. I do enjoy watching you making meals. I've been wanting to do sourdough for a long time, maybe tomorrow I'll get a starter going. Thank you to each of the Hollar's for going out and helping with those who have been affected tragically from the hurricane. Have a great week!

[@dianaj3139]

I think that Lemon Cake looks amazing! So nice that you get lemons sent before the Holidays, so many goodies to make with those. You all are so blessed with all the good food on the farm. Italian food is one of my families favorite however we often cheat a little on what sort of cheese and sauce because a few family members are lactose intolerant. Tomato/basil sauce there is no problem! Thanks for showing all the details... great seeing your daughter helping!!

[@sgmarr]

Ooooh! I make THAT kind of Vanilla! 😊 Very Special Taste! I just got a big bottle of it, for $75CA!! It is Aged in Oak Cask for 25 Years!! Superb! It cimes from France, in a brown glass bottle.

[@SusanHilesCreates]

Great video! Thanks for taking us along with you in your kitchen for the day. 💕

[@Shoshi770NYC]

THAT TANGY MEYER LEMON CAKE LOOKS SO DELICIOUS! if anyone is interested, Meyer lemons are a cross between lemons & mandarin oranges, which explains the thin skins. What a great gift! Did they grow them? Ben has mentioned his father has planted many trees.

[@southloupriverhomestead4696]

Great Video! Thanks! Meg keep the cooking videos coming! WE LOVE THEM!

[@frantracey8737]

I did a sourdough baking course. Starters name was Doughlene.

[@marykappesser5145]

Meg, I love when you show us how you " throw together a meal". I absolutely love lemon desserts. I think I may try that cake.

[@kathyhennigan7807]

I always appreciate when Meg is cooking and showing us what she does with leftovers.

[@hardenmama1800]

Great video, Meg! Thanks for sharing your talents!

A throwback to the days when Meghan always did the filming. I enjoyed this immensely! Thank you.

[@Murphysmom24680]

I make my own vanilla and prefer bourbon. It’s very simple to make - the hardest part is waiting for it to be ready! Right now I have 2 gallons going

[@kathleengraves4647]

Wow-2 gallons! 🎉

[@Murphysmom24680]

@ yes a 2023 batch and 2 -2024 batches

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Always enjoy your videos. Thank you. Blessings

[@jennym4127]

A Meyer lemon is a cross between a lemon and mandarin/pomelo orange. To me they have a very slight and appealing note of turpentine. They are more mellow tasting than regular lemons. You can grow the trees in pots and move them indoors in the winter.

[@karenlee2332]

So nice to see you Meg ! wish I had your energy !

[@andrewhammill6148]

That's some pretty lemons. Can't find that in a store. And - "I'm gonna stab the cake all over with a fork, to stabby stab stab the cake". LOL.

[@BiterAvid]

💚💙💚 And Meg is just as cute. I loved the comment "when life gives you lemons or they come in the mail..."

[@carolaustin123]

Your cake looked fabulous 👌 🎉🎉

[@kathleenmead9259]

LOVE LEMONS!!! Be well y'all!

[@OurIntrovertedHomestead]

I love watching you in your element! I have a "dwarf" Meyer lemon tree that wasn't told that she is supposed to be small! Also, she produces lemons the size of grapefruit, with THICK skin, and crazy juicy! She produces all year around, too😊. I really am enjoying watching Big Sister with Mama in the kitchen, learning "all of the things"...💙💚

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

Awesome video , thanks for sharing !!!!! 🙏👍😊❤️

[@lillianperry6451]

Love watching you make your delicious dinners and treats

[@joolzmac1]

As I watched you, Meg, I thought those growing boy/men must sure love all of your cooking! No recipe book in sight, just everything measured from the heart. Always industrious in the kitchen, you are a joy to watch.😊

[@Gray8YT]

So much to admire! I’ve always wished the cookbook was in my head but for me …it is not;)

[@zannaB60]

You are very energetic in this video, Meg. Can I borrow some of your energy? I find myself lacking a bit at 61. Maybe I need to train as Justin says. Naw, I'll just go and blow the leaves off the deck tomorrow, and plant my potatoes and garlic!

[@alicebunt5453]

Buggy is a girl after my own heart. She’s happy in the kitchen and the garden!

[@catherineparr5489]

Buggy is my heroine , personally I hold her responsible , with a little help from Ben and co for the fabulous produce from the garden . 😇😃😃Look at how she made that cake grow , with some help from Meg .

[@nancyc4271]

That cake looked delicious. I had a neighbor lady that made something really similar with her discard as muffins. She would freeze them alot. They were a favorite of all of us in the neighborhood!!

[@latonyafoster6279]

What up with the hand gesture at 7:10?

[@sgmarr]

Sounds like a lovely lemon cake! Bonus it uses so much Starter! ❤ Love and Blessings!

[@graciegolden2290]

You are just an amazing chef, dear heart. I'm saving.

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

I make sour dough wafels with my starter .

[@tammiedyer3225]

You’re amazing Meg. If your lemons or limes are about to go bad, you can throw them in freezer whole.

[@mildredlindsey3144]

HONEY, MOST OF US ARE A -LITTLE SQUIRRELY!! I LOVE THE REAL YOU EACH DAY. MANY THINK THEY HAVE TO PERFORM FOR THEIR CHANNEL. I LOVE TO LEARN FROM Y'ALL.

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

The cake sounds refreshing with the lemon flavor! Will watch again and write down the recipe. Your cooking today all looked delicious!

[@magaHurricane]

I hear you about getting things done feeling so good!!! I had a bad arthritis flare this spring that took me out for about 5 months, It was the worst one I have ever had. Needless to say the place got really backed up as far as deep cleaning or even maintenance. I got on some medicine about a month ago and finally feel like I have my hands back!!! I have never been so happy to wash dishes by hand!! It does just feel good to be functioning again! You guys are always such an inspiration so thank you ma'am!!

[@patriciawilson6524]

Oh buggy you are learning so much while HELPING momma.

[@pinkplateful1957]

I love Meg in the kitchen!!!! Really enjoyed the watch. Thank you!

[@pamelacrowell2007]

For your not quite Alfredo sauce, add cream cheese and Parmesan or mozzarella!!! to your bechamel...it will bring it to Alfredo taste

[@shawnward-m8f]

That chicken looks good. And I'm glad to see you back

[@stacylandis9806]

I make an almost identical lemon cake, but I add a couple tablespoons of lemon marmalade made from Meyer lemons. It puts it over the top.

[@themrsjmerr3122]

I love your starters name!! I named mine Dolly 😆

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

We love the Hollars! Your pasta meal with/without the cheese looked delicious. Especially with adding BACON! Lemon cake made with sourdough discard interesting.....you have the wheels in my head turning. Maybe a little Lemoncello......that's the Italian in me talking now. Little Buggy loves working in the kitchen helping Mom. Soon she'll be baking on her own.

[@melissacasler9017]

that baby is adorable!!

[@barbaramix1683]

Meyer lemons are a cross between a mandarin orange and either a Eureka or Lisbon lemon. Frank Meyer brought them from China to the U.S. in 1908. I am wintering my Meyer Lemon in my office for the winter, because it is too cold for them in the winter where I live. The cake looks really good. I like sourdough pancakes. God bless you guys and girls.

[@TifJones-p8s]

that lemon cake look lovely - I would also try chocolate and orange cake using the same recipe (either coco powder or chocolate pieces)

[@pandamama6214]

Yeah its a Meg day! I really love the day in life view Meg brings, Love the convo, cooking and its like catching up with a friend. Looking forward to finally starting sourdough, I have a starter kit on my Christmas wish list Have a Happy Thanksgiving Dollars family

[@drekfletch]

You could try flavoring the icing sugar with some lemon zest. My grandmother used to do that with granulated sugar, it might work with powdered. That way it doesn't "boil" off during baking, but lingers bound to the sugar.

[@marking-time-gardens]

Another great day in the Hollar Family kitchen! Yay! Blessings on the Hollar Family!🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕👵

[@cathykillion6544]

Enjoyed the video 😊

[@denisestone8491]

I grew Lemon verbena this year and I've found a little goes a LONG way. I dehydrate it and crumble it in my Asian soups. I also do sourdough. I LOVE it but no one but me will eat it, unlike the lemon verbena. I need to try this recipe for my grandkids...they love the flavor of lemons. Thank you for this video. I love you guys. Happy early Thanksgiving. Stay blessed.

[@martharentfro6991]

To make the icing more “lemony” add either lemon zest or lemon flavoring as well as lemon juice. Lemon juice just doesn’t have a strong enough flavor.
