You Just Can’t Beat It Y’all | Homestead Vlog | December 10, 2024

[@Robbinp12]

Your videos warm my heart! What a life ya’ll have. Your kids will never forget their upbringing. Good job, guys!

[@susanreynolds4001]

Andy, it blesses my heart to hear you talk about your kids. I lost my Daddy almost 2yrs ago and I was a Daddys girl. Maggie will remember those sweet words forever. Not all men show love for there kids like you to do,you should be told what a great guy you're and Megan you are awesome also ❤

[@vikkibyington3066]

❤ You two have every reason to be proud of Jacob and Maggie! These kids work hard but they have time to be kids and play hard as well. Y’all are amazing parents and it is so evident how much you love your children. Meagan, your sausage gravy and biscuits look so good. Haven’t had any in a long time. I love your channel and though it seems strange this old East Tennessee lady loves your family. I look forward to every video. Y’all touch my heart and when I’m having down times your family brings me joy. I think about your Momma a lot, Meagan, and send up a prayer for her. God bless you and provide every need. Love n prayers from Tennessee. 🙏🏻♥️🎄

[@adeliabrewer]

If only all kids could be raised this way! Those kids will be wonderful productive people when they are grown.

[@leighscott1877]

The kids are the way they are because of their wonderful parents. Good job you two!!!

[@pamp5797]

Andy good parents good kids.

[@marieparks5674]

Farm kids are a special breed, learning so many skills.

[@wizelbee]

You & Megan should be proud of your kids. They have responsibilities & they appear to be happy with it. They are learning skills that will help them in their futures whether they choose to homestead or not. A good work ethic will take them far no matter what they choose to do. I very much enjoy watching your kids. Reminds me of growing up on a ranch. You two are doing a great job with them.

[@billroberts3864]

Jacob is having fun driving 'his' tractor and will soon be doing useful project with it. Andy, the fence will last for years and it is nice seeing you help Megan making pulled pork. Blessings to all of you four fine people.

[@GeorgiasGarden]

One thing is for sure, Your family is never going hungry. I love fresh sausage. I like mine hot. My mom always told me go slow with the milk because you just can’t go back and add flour.

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Great job y'all. Jacob sure is making his grampa proud ❣️🙏❣️. He's growing up. He's a good big brother to Maggie. There both great kids, y'all gotta be proud parents for sure❣️

[@francesgannon8990]

The way you prepare your own food is so rewarding to watch ! …and I’m not even gonna eat it!! Delicious looking biscuits and gravy …yummy!! Andy, my husband was really impressed how you worked so smart drilling those holes for those fence posts!! Funny cows! Views of your homestead are just amazing and breath-taking ! Thank-you both for these videos! And YES you have outstanding children!!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

There you go Jacob. Crank that Ford at least one a week or so during the cold weather to keep the battery charged up. I'm proud of Jacob and Maggie. They are more mature and know how to do more at their young age than most adults do now. I love barbeque but wouldn't take anything for that sausage gravy and those homemade biscuits. Y'all have a great night!

[@LFish637]

And the wonderful children

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Howdy from Michigan 👍🤓👍. I made sausage gravy last night for dinner too. I didn't make biscuits,but put it over a few toast👍🤓👍it hit the spot

[@MZDenise72]

I love watching this channel. May God continue to bless your family.❤

[@donnathompson4067]

Another great video and I enjoyed every minute. So glad I found your channel. Blessings to you and your family.

[@LFish637]

You being a nurse is a plus

[@paccur1252]

Thats beautiful, Jacob has that tractor in his heart, because of the love that came from its owners... so sweet to see..

[@douglasgatian1401]

Watching Mom and Dad. That's how we learned how to act. Y'all doing it right. Love the smile on that boy driving!!

[@lilliepad2535]

I enjoyed this video from beginning to end. That small conversation between Jacob and his dad, asking each other "what you doing?" Was funny. Wow to make lard is incredible. Meal looks delicious 😋.

[@pmartin6759]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ farm life grows great kids👍

[@deborahh2165]

Had a great time on the live last night! Love watching you make lard, its beautiful!!! I know your hog killing time is busy and a LOT of hard work, but thank you for sharing the different ways you process and keep your meat! And thank you for making regular videos during this time, I'd understand if you all were just too pooped out to make them, but sure is appreciated!! I know we will have meat/egg chickens one day a couple years, but I hope we can at least try a couple pigs. I'd definitely come take a chicken processing class if you ever decide to do that. Heck, I'd come help you anyway just to learn and help you out! :) I love seeing all your different biscuit making techniques!

[@Susan-n3o3e]

Great video boy that biscuits and gravy look absolutely delicious and that meat is gonna be delicious and Andy is working on the fence. It’s gonna look great. Thanks for sharing.❤

[@CindyMobley]

Megan I don’t use a meat thermometer either. I go by fork tender and if I can easily pull it with a fork I know it’s ready, I do all my meats that way, I probably overcook my meats, lol

[@AlabamaUSA1234]

We love the show Megan... We watch on TV so I forget to comment. 👍 Everytime 😂 Wishing y'all a very Merry Christmas. You and your family are so special to us ❤️

[@toneyjohnson8910]

My wife cooks her pork shoulders in a crock pot and we will have it the first night as cooked pork and then she will heat it another night with BBQ sauce. We will now put some up in the freezer for future meals thanks.

[@RenaBartley-t2f]

Bless you Andy & Megan for donating the beef to western North Carolina.

[@connieparker8896]

I remember when my Daddy and Uncle did this post with post hole diggers and manual labor, that was a lot of work , my Momma would cook food and drive it down to them., always cold water and fresh squeezed lemon aid.. that was hard work

[@kimstone103]

Great video as always. The lard looks beautiful, supper looks delish, & Andy, that was so sweet how you complimented your kids. They do work hard just like their mama & daddy. I just love yall's family & yall's way of life. Have a good week

[@TimmyHill-bv3iv]

Nothing better then home made biscuits and gravy 😋😋👍Great idea making the pulled pork

[@deltorres2100]

So much can be done with a Roaster ..years back when my oven broke just before Thanksgiving ..I bought and cooked in a toaster ..well the turkey was delish and perfect and we have used it plenty with porch ..chicken and Tamales oh and dressing.. 🥘

[@marcscroggs895]

I love to watch your videos. You, Andy and your two children are hard workers. I grew up in the city by my parents made us work. We had no video games. When I married my wife was raised on a farm and worked all the time. Our daughter worked all through high school and then went on to college and graduated. One thing for sure is your kids are getting raised the right way and will never be lazy.

[@paulaelves5160]

i,m with you megan, never in my life ,my mams life or my granny,s life have we ever used a thermometer...we know its done by the smell,look and feel, if the juices run clear, done lol, thats the english way aswell i guess xx

[@LFish637]

Love the biscuits

[@angelacalloway8125]

Good afternoon! Rainy days in central Alabama. 😊

[@ChrisAlred-mn5if]

Another great, busy video. Jacob sure does love that tractor. Such a blessing. 🥰

[@Linda.Maree81]

Wholesome, Beautiful people !!! ❤

[@badatti2d]

What an awesome video! Great to see the outside work being done, as well as the 'kitchen stuff'...lol Andy, you and your wonderful wife should be busting out with pride for what your kids are becoming -- it shows what great role models you two are, and what outstanding grownups they will become. Thank you for another look at what life can be like for families who still practice the old American spirit in all that you do.

[@LFish637]

Wonderful family

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks Megan and Andy , Jacob and Maggie for all the great time we get to spend with you in each of your videos. You all are living the Good Life as each of us wish we are working towards. It's such a blessing seeing how you all work together and think nothing of the time or what you have to do each day and the end of the day is blessed with a fabulous meal and peaceful time before going to bed. Stay safe and keep up the great times . Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of your families . Fred.

[@angelaambrose2326]

Love watching Jacob keep the tractor battery charged 😁. I don’t blame Jacob and Maggie riding to feed the hogs. Gas powered is better than feet powered. 😂.

[@taketwodevotions1247]

We love our pit boss! Our new favorite wood pellet is Oak.

[@LFish637]

So is Andy the best

[@peggetennant]

Another fun and interesting video. Your family is a blessing to me. Thank you for sharing. I’ve never chopped my pork in my food processor, but, I’m going to do that in the future.

[@sungazer454]

To make a row of posts we do it like that: put in the first one, aim in the direction where your fence is about to go, put in the second post and just do the holes for the next posts by aiming the line of the two posts over your drill, for the distance between the posts just spray a mark on a tire of your tractor and count while driving how many times you see the mark coming up for your desired distance between the posts, finish the line, then put the posts into the holes.

[@snakeboren4814]

Sausage And Bicuits...And Hash Browns..!!!! Now That's A Damn Good Breakfast...!!!!

[@jamestboehm6450]

I like BBQ but the roaster is my way I like it best. Small butt roasts can be done in the big crockpot. When it's falling apart it's done.

[@auswindall]

Love your channel! Homeschooling, ranching, and caring for my mother in law with dementia here in Alabama! Trying to learn more while changing diapers on a 87 yo !! Blessings

[@florencecampbell774]

Megan you made me hungry,with all that good cooking of yours.it looked delicious.You two are a real team,helping each other out…..Watched you last night doing the questions and answers really enjoyed that.I watch you all the time,have you done the lives before?❤️🥰

[@LFish637]

Megan, you’re good

[@dwest-oz1su]

Hello from Victoria BC Canada. I wished I could sit at that supper table!

[@tammycourtney9569]

You know until you brought it to my attention about all the flour I would never have thought of it

[@splash0306]

I give you a lot of credit tonight Megan. That’s a lot of dishes to clean.

[@LFish637]

Jacob getting tall

[@lizmiller2341]

What a nice video! Very busy day you all had there. Yum, now I want to make some biscuits and sausage gravy for dinner tonight.

[@ilene9349]

my husband drew lines on the fence hole digger for each one foot, up to four foot , so he didn't have to keep measuring how deep he was, I wish he had a pole digger like you have❤

[@jeffreygraf3358]

I'm hungry! Biscuits and gravy tonight!

[@h.sinclair]

Yes those kids are wonderful, but they are only a reflection of who raised em ❤... I don't know what's better biscuits and gravy or those fence posts LOL 😆you guys rock!

[@MelissaMounts]

I love all your videos! Your very kind

[@lucindasutt7365]

😅😅 Megan, you could never be boring no matter what the task!! BBQ looks sog ood. What tasty canned food Pork Shoulder is. Jacob having a great time on that tractor, while Andy is designing a new Pasture Fence. I'm telling you both, not a minute of your videos is boring. I can hear sweet Maggie playing somewhere close by.😊

[@kimstone103]

Megan I just gotta say that bbq looks sooo good. It would go well with some baked beans, cole slaw, tater salad & deviled eggs. Yum yum just had to say that😂😂

[@michaelenglish8004]

Andy , reckon you could put a magnet attached plumb line beside the auger while drilling ? That could help hopefully.

[@MichaelThomas-ps5qg]

You darn right Megan I love sausage gravy over my eggs scrambled sunny side up or hard fried yum yum

[@lindabyrne1645]

Love watching the channel!

[@RedLloyd-r4i]

[@TeresaEdwards-kw3np]

Really look forward to your videos!

[@annsandstedt5264]

I'm going to try your biscuit recipe. Looks really easy. We got a bunch of deer last week. My husband makes deer burgers and breakfast sausage. The burger has 15 percent of pig fat. It came out great.

[@rogerpadgett3189]

Pour. A little water around the post helps a great dill

[@lesterwicklein717]

Good Morning!

[@judymcmurtry7805]

Hi yall, Megan, you are making me hungry. Where did you get the pan that you cooked the biscuits in? I've never seen one like it before. Andy, the kids were taught right. Be proud of yourself, because yall have done an amazing job raising those children. Jacob looks just like his mama and Maggie looks like her daddy. Keep up the great job. Love yall.

[@nanny0647]

Great video. Looks sooo good!!!!!!

equal amounts of flour and grease, one cup of milk to one tablespoon of flour and grease, stir it all the time so it doesn't stick

[@LFish637]

I need a good southern man

[@LuellaLane-d6n]

Got some good food there !!❤

[@noahsmith8988]

Need some pear preserves to go with that or Muscatine hull preserves that would be the perfect meal I have always wanted some sweets with eggs and biscuits good video

[@margiegentry4254]

Hey,Meagan,see your potholder, counter trivet arrived. The red one I sewed into a cast iron handle holder. Glad to see it arrived. Merry Christmas cooking from Roxboro in Person County

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

Thank you so so much for your kind gift!!! I love them!

[@LFish637]

And I’m from cape Cod mass

[@kennethflickjr.2527]

If you haven’t tried it before try eating some of your homemade applesauce with that gravy. I’ve liked it that way since I was a kid.

[@DavidCales-j2p]

Ha neighbors. WV. It's close. Lol. Haven't tried the food processor. I'll try that next time. Oh and the vinegar. Never tried that. I usually use Italian dressing. I'll try the vinegar. That ol ford sure sounds good. Brings back lots o memories. Thanks for videos. Really enjoy.

[@ranns160]

Yummy goodness.

[@annettegregg8654]

Hello from Ireland

[@LFish637]

I can fish and cook and clean and farm

[@carolcrawford213]

I usually buy 2 or 3 pks of pork fat and make my lard.I love to cook with lard.

[@tammielawson6543]

Andy gravy is delicious on eggs😋

[@angelaambrose2326]

Megan, is your cooker like a crock pot? Your lard makes beautiful grease. I remember my daddy, his brother and family members had a hog killing day every year. My aunt was in the kitchen, cooking lunch for everyone, we played 😂 while adults worked. They made liver pudding 🤮 hog head cheese 🤢 good ole cracklings for cornbread. Lots of good memories!!

[@mikeanderson7165]

I’m live in North Wilkesboro. What time is supper 😊

[@jeffpeters4497]

Ain't the best part of being the cook is being the taste tester?

[@janwalls6397]

❤❤❤❤❤PERRYHILL SALSA RECIPE was on their website: Fresh Salsa In a bowl combine: 2-3 diced plum tomatoes, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/2 chopped red onion, 6 sprigs chopped cilantro, fresh lime juice and salt to taste.

[@lisagrafton2529]

Do you ever use mustard BBQ sauce on your shredded pork? I got some from North or South Carolina, and my Ohio family, except my mustard hating husband, LOVES IT! I sometimes mix bbq with the mustard bbq sauce and a bbq sauce I make, that is a copycat recipe from Montgomery inn, in Cincinnati, who is well know for their boneless ribs, together on my bun, with a piece of cheddar cheese! DELICIOUS!. Their bbq sauce has tarragon vinegar it. I make my own tarragon vinegar, by putting sprigs of tarragon in apple cider vinegar that has been lightly heated and put into a bottle, or I use dried tarragon, if I can't find it on the sprig. I let it sit in a cool dark place for 6 or more months, before using. When I make the sauce, I make enough to can a couple pint jars, for quick meals. The sauce is quick to make, so canning it is not necessary, but it's for convenience, or if I want to send it home, with one of my married children, along with a bag of frozen pulled pork! As a mom, my greatest joy is making food I know my 4 children loved when they lived with us, and take it to them when we visit! That, without a doubt, is my love language to them!! Thank you for showing us that there is still hope for America's youth! I pray we will turn the page on wokeness, and raising disrespectful, unappreciative young people, with a victim mentality and no work ethic! God bless you, and God bless and save America! May he keep our president elect and vice president elect, and the cabinet member nominations safe from all the treats on their lives, and the lives of their families! NO ONE, regardless of political choice, deserves to have their lives threatened or have attempts made on their lives!

[@Betty-in4ve]

Megan,when do you work your part-time job? You are always filming or busy homesteading.(never ending job) I enjoy your family and keep up the good work.

[@mama-shay77]

I have 2 of those roasters, any special tricks you use to scrub it? I swear, it's a royal pain to clean. Even put water between the base and insert.

[@connieparker8896]
