Spend a typical school week with me preparing meals from scratch for my family of 7 (still eating for 2 over here!). Our weekday meals are usually pretty simple. Breakfast is some kind of meat and eggs, maybe with sourdough toast or a simple sourdough discard recipe like pancakes or dutch baby. On the other hand, our weekend breakfasts are kind of a big deal, and I go all out - which you've seen if you've watched any of my weekend meal videos. Lunches in winter are super simple, I make a big pot of soup on Monday and that's lunch for the week! As far as dinner goes, every Sunday evening I ask my husband if he has any requests for the week. He usually gives me a couple, I let the kids choose a meal or two, and then I fill in the gaps.

There is something so soothing to me about watching a mother Mother. I didn’t grow up with my mom but my grandma stepped in and did the best she could. Now I’m a mama and I want my mom more than ever lol. But I want to be the kinda mom I wish I had. Someone who was just there for us and not begrudgingly. I love the security of knowing Mom is somewhere around the house. I just think the world desperately needs moms, to fight the good fight and do the repetitive and the mundane..whatever your race your money situation your culture. If God blesses you with a family, serve them and love them well. It truly makes the world go around.
Beautifully said ❤️
Amen
Your oldest picking up your baby was so sweet☺️ Makes me excited to Lord willing have lots of babies… and one day have bigs and littles at the same time!
We have an Ernest too😊
Seeing siblings love for each other is the absolute sweetest!
I'm a big sibling, and have lots of little siblings. The bond we have is so worth it. It has taught me so much responsibility and accountability for myself. I pray that your future babies get to experience this. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I came over to your channel from This Mama's House. She was making soup and said it was your recipe. Loving your channel thus far!
Adjusting to the appetites as a big family grows is no joke! I’m slowly purchasing larger and larger kitchenware 😂 the standard week to week is lovely to see, still homemade and healthy. Good luck with your labour and delivery, beautiful family
Thank you!
I always use mayo on the inside of a grilled cheese and butter on the outside of the slices of bread.
ohh this sounds delicious!
Oh my goodness. I am so surprised you did not go into labor yet. You look great and I wish you a safe delivery.
Getting close to that time!
Me too... I thought that's why I was getting alot of old videos and shorts coming in 😊
I will definitely understand you taking time off will baby, but would love to Hava quick update on baby news😊
Same here :) It's funny, I actually keep thinking of you every morning when I wake up and I send prayers your way every morning for a beautiful and blessed delivery!
Also, I love your weekly routine, very inspiring! Thanks!

You are looking lovely Steff. Looking forward to the safe birth of your baby. ❤❤
love how much youre posting recently!!
Many blessings on that baby delivery 🙏🏻♥️
Thank you, we are so excited to meet this little one!
Gosh I just love your recipes! So last month when I started my sourdough I started making your sourdough discard pancakes and I will NEVER EVER go back to the regular old box pancakes! My whole family loved your Amish bread & yesterday I made your granola(I quadrupled the recipe too) & it's almost gone! Today I am making the soft burger buns & I'm sure they'll be as awesome as everything else!
Thank you for posting even at your last weeks of pregnancy! I wish you a smooth & safe delivery!
So glad you're enjoying everything, it's so satisfying serving your family something they love!
You have definitely cracked the code on kitchen flow when it comes to meals made at home for big families. It took me a long time to do this. ☺️ Everything looks wonderful- can’t wait to try the strawberry rolls.
This is one of the best what we eat in a week I've watch.
Best believe the repetition of meals don't affect anything or anyone. My family has a tradition of eating Rice and peas and chicken every Sunday for over 30 plus years and I still look forward to it. Your fav is just your fav.
love that! routine and traditions are part of what makes a home!
everything looks SO good!! i’m over here with a 3 month old with barely any time to cook a nice dinner a few times a week lol it’s usually air fried salmon and rice or steak and frozen fries.. im inspired to be better 🥲 contact naps take up all my time but i inspire to be like you one day! all from scratch, more kids, homeschool. i love your videos so much ❤
I just made Your carrot cake this week!! It was amazing! My husband even snuck an extra piece lol! Love your channel! Keep up the great work! 💖
So glad you all liked it!!
Hi, I am 21 and trying to have my first baby within the next few months. Im cultivating the type of mom i want to be and doing lots of research and practice. I look up to you a lot, thank you for your videos.
Steph, you are such an inspiration! I love your channel and get SO many ideas for meals by watching you! And I've learnt so much too! Thank you! Love From Kelly in South Africa
New to your channel! Was browsing your Amazon recommendations and was so surprised and excited to see your Catholic book recommendations! TLM and homeschooling here as well! Subscribed!
Such an amazing home maker and mom. I aspire to be like this
I come back each week, hoping for a baby announcement! Love your recipes!
Getting close!! ❤️
You look wonderful!! Many blessings to you and happy Lent! I also appreciate when there are recipes without sourdough as EVERYONE seems to use it. I actually prefer yeast but that is just me, LOL!
Yeast is such a handy tool for the modern homemaker!
Your videos are very inspiring to me. Can’t wait to continue following along once the new baby arrives!
Getting so close to that time!!
Never heard of grilled cheese sandwiches being done with mayonnaise. Sounds interesting. Will defenatly try that 😊
I do both :) butter and mayonnaise!! Its so yum. 😊
Delicious!!
Sending prayers for a safe and blessed delivery.
Thank you so much!
I made your Amish friendship loaf yesterday and it brought so much happiness to our home 🤍 thanks for the recipe!
I always use mayo for grilled cheese! Makes it crispy!
I love the idea of adding lemon juice to the smoothies! I need to do that next time. I measure smoothies with my heart too 😂
I love the way you make your chicken and dumplings.. I have to try! Thank you😊
I love this kind of video! Can’t wait to see baby.
We're getting so close!
I love adding mayonaise to a grilled cheese! Makes it so much better in my opinion.
💚
Does Thrive carry dried herbs like stinging nettle, chamomile, and comfrey leaf? Thanks if anyone sees this and knows.
Your gym clothes are cute and they're very flattering on you. Where do you get yours from? I haven't had luck with mine. I'm so excited for your new baby to be born!
I prefer mayo and I really don’t know where I seen or heard or if I did it as a experiment but I love mayo either way my grilled cheese❤
I love watching your videos!
I love doing mayonnaise on grilled cheese!
So great to see the fam keeping healthy with exercise...and delicious whole food doesn't have to be fancy-those time saving recipes are great!
I am MUCH older than you and am finishing raising up my last child who is 16. But I enjoy watching your content. To answer your question about mayo versus butter for grilled cheese. I have used mayo for years. It’s an old restaurant/diner hack. I like it both ways, but it’s nice to have a choice.
I’m praying for an easy delivery for you 💞
Thank you!
Loving watching your videos. Praying for a great delivery ❤ Would love to know what is in your greenery bouquet???
Hi! Definitely not disappointed. Great vlog.❤
I made the dumplings a while ago after the last time you showed it in a video. I froze part of it so I can gave an easy and filling soup or stew when I need it. So easy!
I really need to get 1 or 2 of those bread pans. Now I make it in an open top pan. It gives the beautiful round top, but that is not always easy to pack in a lunchpack.
So glad you liked the cumplings, they're a staple around here!
I hope you have a great and easy labour.
Everything looks delicious.you look so beautiful ❤
Love your simple breakfast!!
HAPPY 100K🎉🎉🎉
It all looks delicious. I'd love to come visit for a week ;)
Hi from Mississippi
What a neat trick with the mayo instead of butter on the grilled cheese. Peaks my curiosity, now I've got to try.
Just as good and the mayo is easier to spread!
Lots of great recipes!!
❤ Everything looks so good... ❤😊
Great video.
You do much more than the norm. Great job!
Love your hustle in the kitchen. That's me all day everyday, but with only two kids. I love it, it's my favorite place to be, where I feel most comfortable and accomplished. ❤May God give you an easy birth.
Loved this video and you sharing your rhythm in real life also all the recipes looked amazing delicious and simple which I’m totally here for! Thank you!
you're so welcome!
You are so great and I can’t believe how much you get one in a day 🥰 you’re super mum
The kids keep me busy, that's for sure, but in the best way!
Enjoyed the video
i love your videos, good job.
I absolutely love your kitchen!!! 😍
thank you!
I really like watching your content. Is there any possibility to making homemade low carb bread or buns?
Love making grilled cheese with mayo
Wow! You are so productive and inspiring! Thank you for such a wonderful video!
of course!
Great video!!
I loved this! so enjoyed watching all your yummy meals, simple and healthy is always the best!
yep, nothing wrong with simple for the day to day!
@@HopewellHeights yes, i agree!! especially when it's delicious and healthy like you make it :)
My brother in law always makes grilled cheese with mayo. I felt like it did taste different and I don't know exactly how to describe it, but it was really good. It also could've had something to do with the fact that he uses store bought mayo lol.
Team mayo for grilled cheese!
Awesome content here!!
thank you!
I love me a buttered grilled cheese there’s a slight difference but my dad always made grilled cheese with miracle whip inside the sandwich and I still do that with my homemade miracle whip and I think that’s the best grilled cheese ever!!
Yes this is how they used to make it where I worked when i waitressed, it was so good!
How do you function in the kitchen with your hair down!!! My hair pretty much look identical to yours same length, color etc. But I find the ends of it get into EVERYTHING! So I end up wearing it up or braided all the time.
Love your videos. I made the laundry soap. mine came out watery/ chunky I can’t describe it, I don’t know where I went wrong 🤦🏼♀️ I think it still works great though.
If mine clumps up I just give it a good shake or add a bit of water!
Hello I totally love your cooking
thank you!
Enjoyed watching ❤
Thrive is great. Both my daughter and I order from them
so handy!!
Not baby time just yet, SUPERWOMAN ♥️
Patricia
getting so close!
We add Irish, sweet potato or yams to our chicken dumpling soup
sounds delicious! I absolutely love sweet potato!
The soup you just made what kind is it ????? And can you tell me how you made it i would love to learn how to make this. I am new to your videos so i am going to learn by watching you i live in Northern michigan and my name is Gypsy.
LOVE this video🤎
thank you!
Does Thrive carry dried herbs, like stinging nettle, chamomile and comfrey?
I've watched every one of your videos, and yet this is the first I've noticed your arm tattoo. Lol, so random, but also, how could i miss that after all that time 😂
I have a couple from when I thought I was really cool at 18! 🤣
Hi Steph! Want to know your opinion on enamel cast iron cookware being contaminated with lead and cadmium. Thoughts on this? I recently learned about this issue, but I love cooking with it just like you do! Hope to hear your opinion!
I have hard that before but it's not something I worry about!
No ma’am…. We all need easy days!!!
Thank you!!
I love your channel. Do you have a list of the amount of food you go through a week? I'm trying to figure out , say 3 gallons of milk, 2 blocks of cheese, etc. I would be very interested. It would help me figure out a store budget. I know that may sound strange. I know every family is different. For the record, I'm starting from ground zero on the way I do things, starting from today.
Pineapple , bacon , and jalapeño on a pizza! The best!
yessss!!
could you pls link the cast iron pan you used to make pizza
I cant' find the exact one, but it's a 15 inch and I love it! Similar to this amzn.to/48EL14O
I've definitely used mayo and I can't tell a difference either lol
My Grandma used mayo on grilled cheese. The taste is different to me. I don’t like mayo, but I didn’t hate the mayo grilled cheese.
I don't currently but that would be interesting to track for a week and see!
Love it, we cook SO similarly! Except I have to cook about triple 😂 We love sourdough discard pizza but I have to make at least 4 for a lunch meal lol. A pot of soup that size is one dinner. Teen boys eat a lot! 😅 Mayo is my favorite condiment too (homemade of course) and chipotle mayo is to die for. Anyways, I had baby #9 this past Saturday and I’m spending this week holed up in my room establishing nursing 🤱 and watching some of my favorite UA-camrs 😁Looking forward to your baby news! 🙏🏻💖☺️
Edited to add, where’d you find that awesome roasting pan??
Oh congratulations, what a blessing!!! Yes I still think of us as being a small family since my kids are still pretty young, and I know I'm going to have to adjust and make LOTS more as my boys grow lol!
Which pan?
The big white roasting pan that you had the roast beef in around the 18:23 minute mark 😀 Maybe I’m wrong and it’s not a roaster but it’s a nice big pan 🤩
You are just beautiful! Excellent job!
Im a proud Pineapple on my pizza girl lol🍍🍕. My husband thinks it's nasty 😆
Where can I get that apron?
I prefer mayo on grilled cheese
Looks like you are close to giving birth. Hope everything goes perfectly. Love your recipes.
Yes! So close!
Have you showed us the egg yolk latte recipe?
Yes, here ya go! hopewellheightsblog.com/egg-yolk-coffee/
@@HopewellHeights Thank you so much 💓
What is the tea that you use instead of coffee? I have tried to find on your channel and blog and can’t find it.
It’s the “Not Coffee” Tea from Farmhouse teas, I love the Chocolate Conniption! www.farmhouseteas.com?sca_ref=5448512.f75DOEUKse
Thank you!!
Do you have a yeast bread recipe for sandwich bread using the Pullman bread pans
I just throw some yeast into my sourdough recipe, but I need to post a yeast only version!
At your cost!
Awwww when did you have the baby?? It looks like you are in post partumn state.
no baby yet, still waiting!
❤
What size is that cutting board?
It's about 3 ft. long, I absolutely love it!
@@HopewellHeights how wide? And does that include the handle? My son in law been practicing making cutting board I would love him to make me one
Are y’all millionaires? Your house is gorgeous!!
I love your channel.
I would love it more if you would tie your hair back when you cook. You guys must eat a lot of long hair. ❤
I'm curious. Overall your kitchen is very highdollar. You've got those expensive refrigerators, multiple stoves, all sorts of expensive equipment but then you've got those peasant-looking touches. What look are you going for? Clearly it's a really posh setup.
The look she is trying to go for is simply her personal taste. I love her kitchen and her content. She is inspiring me to be self reliant with my family and more of a home maker. Girl, keep doing a great job! Good luck on having your beautiful baby soon!
Always pull your hair back when cooking
If I worked in a restaurant I definitely would!
