Preparing for the winter STORM + let's make bagels! VLOG

[@lorisanford8515]

Writing in your cookbook is also something that your kids are gonna treasure when they're older I know I treasure a lot of writings of my parents and grandparents it's just something about physically having that there with you that is So wonderful 💗💗💗

[@shelleyennis4489]

Feel better.

[@marilee324]

One day your daughters and grandkids will cherish your handwritten notes in the blank space of your cookbooks.

[@MsTexan1]

That was so cute seeing June Bug and the kitty playing while you were mixing and kneading the dough.

[@shirleybeattie9606]

Nate was great doing his vlog. You and Jess (Roots and refuge) have lovely men. Hi from Country Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@pameladecicco6509]

You are amazing, Jill. So nice to have someone like Nate to lean on. Be well. Love from Ireland.💚

[@COWELLGIRL]

Making notes for your own is awesome! I write in my bible all the time.

[@colleendigiacomo3089]

Nathan did an amazing job on his first video. Please let him know, so that he might do some more. I would definitely watch.

[@heathermacdonald6404]

Hope you're feeling better, Jill. I also love to write in my cookbooks. Not just notes about the recipes, but also for which occasions I used each recipe and some of the fun things that happened with the family during the gathering. I also like to note in the front of the book when and where I got the it, including any little fun notes about coffee shop visits that day etc. Now that my kids are all grown, it's such fun to look back at these diaries of family life. :) xo

[@jenniferchristiansen2040]

It's great to watch you make bagels. These snowstorms are getting old. Come on gardening time. 😁🎉

[@bridgettgathof6950]

Same crazy weather in Louisville, KY. Hope you all are safe, warm and cozy!

[@sharylfuller9277]

Our little Central Texas town is iced in ... worse ice that last February...streets are sheets of ice ... got my truck stuck this morning after hitting black ice ... had wonderful people helping me. Ice is no joke when it is 4-5 inches thick and back to back hard freezes that ruins everything that possibly tried to melt. Hoping tomorrow will get us thawed.

[@pamelacrowell2007]

He did great for first time!! Just keep it up and he'll get more comfortable!!

[@lynettetucker544]

Hi Jill I really did enjoy Nathan yesterday i thanks he did a fantastic job solo and I love 🥯 bagels.

[@fionar1656]

Hope you are feeling better now Jill. Good on Nathan looking after you. Thank you for sharing the bagel recipe that was really interesting to watch you make them & inspiring. They looked yummy!

[@Coastal.Redwood.Homestead]

I put mine on top of my water heater lol

[@tamararoberts9307]

🙏 for your recovery Jill, take care of yourself. I'm glad Nathan is helping you

[@LosingDrea]

[@karenmcallister7411]

Loved his video

[@ginadillon3439]

You should look at The Elliott Homestead's dry sourdough starter. Less maintenance for a busy Mom!

[@beverlyclayton1244]

Hope you feel better! Be careful in the ice and take care!!

[@jessicabennett852]

Loved his first solo vlog! We ended up with mostly ice here. We’re about 45 minutes south of Ft. Worth.

[@anpanek]

It’s ok, in Colorado, where we ARE prepared for snow, schools cancel even when they are predicting snow. It’s seriously crazy…they never used to do that.

[@findingshalom]

Thanks for powering through even though you weren’t feeling well. Hope you feel better soon! The whole family! I’ve never made bagels 🥯 but now I really want to. Gotta find the time.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

You should, they are fabulous

[@mgtmoffat8411]

You are all set for a day in front of the fire. Keep warm, stay safe and take care of yourselves. 🌻🌻💕💕

[@fareebug8439]

I hope you are feeling okay. 💓🥺 Your bagels turned out amazing, but you don't look like you feel very well. Get well soon 🫂💓💕

[@donna1018]

Oh my feel better soon! Suddenly not feeling well might be the big C so resting is the best thing you can do! It May or may not just take care and rest!

[@emptynestgardens9057]

Fantastic editing Jill. Please take good care of you, wishing you speedy healing.

[@deborahgilliland1804]

Nathan did a great job for his first vlog! Looking forward to seeing more from him. He needs to relax a little more but it was fun.

[@savannahbrewer7545]

Looks delicious I hope you get to feeling better real soon.

[@jennifercaudle8826]

Totally enjoyed Nathan’s video!!

[@ingridskitchengarden]

Funniest part on yesterday’s video was when Nate was feeding the chickens and they was clucking the commentary on my IPad was laugh laugh laugh. It was like what every he was saying they were laughing at him.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Great Vlog Nathan!!!!

[@LittleIowa]

I can't eat bagels but it was fun watching you make this.

[@victoriaspringle4873]

Northern Indiana here. Our schools closed too for 2-ish days. Trust me Arkansas is fine, particularly since this is not weather you experience often.

[@Jennian_M]

Yes! Bagel video! Thank you!

[@cathysmiley6798]

Beautiful, look so good!

[@tamararoberts9307]

We lived in South Texas for 5 years in the '80s ( including hurricane Alicia '83) and it snowed once but didn't even stick to the ground and natives were freaking out ,even wrecking in their vehicles, was on their news stations. Being from Indiana, we couldn't relate then ,but after a few years, we too, got cold in winter there because our bodies had adjusted to the summer heats

[@tamararoberts9307]

Just had that big rain then ice then snow storm so I've been hibernating lol

[@gaylewatkins4685]

I hope your family stays safe and warm. Bagels look phenomenal!! Loved Nathans video. 🙂

[@pattysmith5023]

My area of NM is that way too,

[@JasmineBrownOttawa]

Stay safe and stay warm! Ice storms are no joke, even for us up here in Canada.

[@tinataylor2698]

I sure hope you feel better real quick could definitely see and hear it and you that you were going down and get better!💜🌻💜

[@frankbollotino2270]

Nice job Jill , the basal looked great 👍

[@juliarockwell4759]

My hubby made homemade chicken noodle soup yesterday, and we will have it again tonight. Praying you will feel better quickly!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

I'm definitely getting that sourdough book! Thanks Jill! I hope you are feeling better!

[@jaceanderson9345]

Woohoo.. So we survived herein SE Oklahoma, too! Had us scared like it was 2000😂 But jumped up and made those bagels, too... Thanks for the idea and you made it look easy💃

[@snoywntr2]

Thanks for the Inspiration. I got my starter out of the fridge and fed it tonight! Tomorrow. Making bagels!! Love it. Yum.

[@sinarenesapartmentstead1802]

Excellent content ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾👩🏾‍🌾 waiting on your yeast starter. I love bread 🥯

[@susichristianson3395]

Good job on your first solo vlog. Keep up the good work. The more often you do them the more confident you’ll feel. That’s just the way it is with life. Right?

[@BradfordHomestead]

Please get some rest! Love y’all, stay warm

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

It takes time to do all the work of baking. But in the end, if you are purposeful and do all the steps right, the result is worth it.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Absolutely!

[@wildthistlekitchen]

Stay warm and safe! I’m making sourdough bagels tomorrow (to bake on Sunday)! Great minds. ❤️❤️ - Anita

[@metalmartha2571]

Stay safe! Here in Canada we are used to crazy winter weather… Just be careful and enjoy that fireplace in the basement! We never see you sitting by it♥️NathanNeedsASide-by-side!!!! go team Nathan lol

[@ilzitek2419]

You guys are so great. Thank you for everything you do.

[@CharlotteBugYouTubeVideosMore]

Totally enjoyed it - I vote side-by-side for V-Day!

[@nicoleolson1347]

We loved Nathan’s video!

[@KathyW5]

Ice storms are not snow storms. Ice takes a lot more caution, preparation for downed power lines AND staying home totally off the roads in all areas of the world.

[@venessagourd3278]

Nate was awesome 👌👏👍 keep it up!

[@mikkileon6380]

Oh Yea I commented yesterday about what a great job Nathen did making the video. I really enjoyed it😁. I’m so sorry that You got hit suddenly with a bug😒. Thanks for making the bagels 🥯 even though you felt bad🥰

[@mariettawilliford3987]

Nathan did good 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Hi Jill, I watched this video 2 months ago and I loved it. It just popped up on my YT feed again and I had to watch it again. So much information in the video🍞🥯. Best Wishes. 🦋🥰🌻

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you Mrs. Gayle

[@tammiburris3489]

You did well Nathan❤️

[@maryarcher8484]

He did great! Just like a pro, he is a natural!

[@Twosistershomestead]

Can wait for more sourdough videos. Trying to learn how to start it and having a little trouble but trial and error is key

[@annefitzgerald9706]

Feel better soon. Got me in the mood to try making bagels. Yummy!

[@honeysucklefarm1216]

I am so excited for Otis and the sourdough class!! Thanks for sharing you day with us!!

[@catherinelaughlin6739]

Nathan, you did a great job. We really enjoyed it. Keep doing it.

[@amberlennox846]

Love this!

[@lindalagarce8996]

He did a great job! Very informative and I’m believing God with him for a Tracror and some other farm aids for y’all! Hugs and love from Texas! That’s how we do bad weather too! Lol

[@Smacsek]

Right before you posted on Instagram that you were making bagels, I decided I was going to make bagels this weekend. I bought the book a few weeks ago after you recommended it and boy were they delicious! Thanks for the recommendation! Also the bagel recipe is available on her website if someone doesn't want to buy the book

[@chayh.6249]

Funny thing....at the beginning of this video I thought "I'll ask Jill for a good referral to get some starter!". I am SO excited to hear about your starter sale! I know no one to get some friendly starter from since moving here to Florida. Stay warm and safe and feel better! Feeling bad hits me quick like it did you. Sending Blessings!!

[@lindapearson2376]

I ALWAYS write in my cookbooks! Same reason. I want to know what happened, if I made any changes to recipe, results, etc. Helps me so much!

[@margaretmcgee8982]

I have that same book in kindle. I love it. I named my starter"Zoe" since it means life. Do what I can to make sure it lives.😃

[@diannemiller4754]

I bought one this book...excellent recipes. Bagels and english muffins too. I enjoyed watching you shape your bagels. Stretching them much more than I did. Yours turned out great. I'll Stretch mine more next time I make them. Thanks again for sharing. I don't miss yesterday's video going there now.

[@lorisanford8515]

Do you mind if I ask you how much the book is 😊

[@jessicafreitas1319]

I enjoyed his video!! He should do more!!!

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

Bagels 🥯 looked amazing. We got the ice storm in Texas too. Be safe

[@sandieweatherup]

What is the container you use for your starter? Looking forward to buying some of 'Otis'. The best way I've found to make big holes in bagels is to use your two pointer fingers in the hole and roll your fingers over each other, kinda like twiddling your thumbs. The hole needs to be way bigger than you think. Feel better soon. ❤ NathanNeedsASide-By-Side 😉

[@augustagootee6254]

That so funny ur alarm went off girl I do this to when am out garden or farm feeding I get so into what am doing have no clue what time it is lol

[@marygrott8095]

Stay safe! Those bagels look absolutely amazing!!!

[@charmainemrtnz]

Are you feeling better?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Feeling much better, thanks for asking ❤

[@shirleybeattie9606]

Nate was so great in his vlog. Where did both you and Jess find such sweet men. Lovely man. Hi from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 and we

[@dancnluc1]

Looks great! Hope you get to feeling better!

[@GrammaDebsStorytime]

This may be a dumb question...but I thought you had to let the starter 'breathe' or open to air to capture the wild yeast in the air? I see that you covered yours with a tight lid. How does that still work? Thanks for the video on making bagels - one thing that I have not made myself yet and want to try...❓⁉❓

[@takeitslowhomestead5218]

Feel better soon! The bagels look great.

[@pamelacrowell2007]

I've been sick and ran out of store-boughr sourdough bread so 3 nights ago I got up at 2:16am and made sourdough starter. It's going great and I'm planning on making bread on Sunday!!

[@mommypov4958]

Num num num!

[@nicoleolson1347]

I can’t wait for your sourdough course!!

[@susieblackman7981]

Love this video..like the style of video you did for making bagels..sure going to give this a try
