    We're saying goodbye to reality & escaping to our off grid remote Alaskan cabin in the woods! Join us in the wilds of Alaska as we explore, adventure around, cook good food & enjoy Alaska's winter terrain!
    FRENCH BREAD RECIPE:
    1-1/2 TBS instant dry yeast
    2 cups warm water
    1-1/2 tsp salt
    5 cups all-purpose flour
    1 large egg beaten
    How to make it:
    1. In bowl of stand mixer, add water, yeast, salt & 1/2 of the flour. Knead on slow speed until the flour starts to combine. Increase speed & add the remaining flour. Mix until dough pulls away from the sides.
    2. Transfer dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl, cover with a towel & let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
    3. Divide dough in 1/2. Roll each half into a large rectangle. Roll up tightly from the long end. Place onto lightly greased baking sheet or french bread pan. Cover & let rise 30-45 min.
    4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Use sharp knife & cut diagonal slashes on the top of each loaf, about 1/4 inch deep. Brush loaves with beaten egg.
    5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown. This bread freezes well too if you want to save a loaf for later!
    PASTRY DOUGH:
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tsp salt
    250 g unsalted butter frozen
    2/3 cup water ice cold
    Combine flour and salt into a large bowl and place it in a refrigerator for about 15 minutes. Next, grate the frozen butter into the flour, occasionally mixing it to prevent the butter from sticking.
    Make a well in the center of the bowl and pour in the ice cold water. Mix it until you have a firm, rough dough.
    Wrap the dough tightly with plastic wrap and leave in a refrigerator for 30 minutes.
    Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, kneading it gently to form into a smooth rectangle. Keep the edges straight and even and don’t overwork the butter streaks - the dough should have a marbled effect.
    Fold the top third down to the center, then the bottom third up and on top of it. Do the same with the sides. Roll the dough out again to three times the length and into a rectangular shape. The pastry dough should be about 1/4 inch thick.
    Place the parchment paper on top of the dough, folding it over the top and bottom of the dough. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and let it chill in a refrigerator for about an hour or even overnight if you’re not quite ready to use it!
    BLUEBERRY ORANGE TURNOVERS:
    4 ounces cream cheese, softened
    2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    Half teaspoon organic orange zest
    Half teaspoon vanilla extract
    Half package, frozen puff pastry, sheets, thawed about 17.3 oz OR (use my homemade pastry dough recipe)
    1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
    One large egg, separated
    One cup powdered sugar
    4 teaspoons orange juice
    How to make it:
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
    Combine cream, cheese, granulated, sugar, zest, and vanilla in a small bowl; set aside.
    Roll out pastry dough on a lightly flowered surface. Cut the dough into 4” squares.
    Spoon about 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture in center of each pastry piece. Top with one tablespoon blueberries.
    Brush edges with egg yolk, fold into triangles, and press to seal. Place on parchment or nonstick aluminum foil lined baking sheet.
    Bake pastries 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Cool on a wire rack. Whisk together powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl. Drizzle over pastries.

    I’m sad that all images of Kellen have been removed from the intro, gosh that really broke my heart. I understand why and it wasn’t something you wanted to do, and I assume it was requested from others in control of him. I’m praying. I will say I absolutely love the photo of him in the life vest.

    • @HomeFreeAlaska

      Thanks friend. It actually was not prompted by anyone in Kellen’s family. I chose to redo my intro as life will go on even with Kellen not here (sadly), and our channel will go on as well. For me emotionally, I need a clean break.❤️

      I agree, Kellen will stay in touch so be prepared for phone calls/emails, letters/cards/etc from him. Plus visits whenever his family will allow him to travel up to Alaska…
      I honestly would not be surprised if Kellen kept in touch via the channel as he watched the new videos posted.

You were the stability and structure he needed. That being said, your family still needs to have fun and find your new normal. Your remote cabin is the perfect place to unwind and recharge. It's just beautiful. Yummy meals too, you and Joe are great cooks!

    Kellen will forever have the joyful memories of this year. He has learned what a God centered family really is. He has learned great lessons of what a father, mother, brother, and sister love should be. He is such a a sweet sensitive boy who will grow into a sweet sensitive man because your family opened your hearts and arms to him. What blessing for you as a family to have that remote retreat cabin. I get such a sense of peace watching you. God bless and keep you. Best wishes from San Antonio, Texas.

    I was happy to see you all three going on your journey to the remote cabin, but I had tears for Kellen, as he was watching this too mostlikely, and missing you all terribly, and the fun he had while with you. I had heartache for Parker, as I know he had to be missing Kellen so much while sledding down that hill. I have heartache yet for you and Joe, as the parents of Kellen while having him, to the best of your ability, nurturing him and teaching him. I pray each heart involved gets comforted. I pray that Kellen's mom can see what you and Joe can give and teach Kellen, that a single mom can't. I pray she could love him enough to let him come back to what's best for him. That's hard I know, but sometimes we have to hurt to do what's best for our child. There is no color of his skin in your world, but there is in his right now. There is no division in that color up here, but there is down there. I love you Watson family, and Kellen if your reading this, that means you, sweet young man we have grown to love. ❤

    i have a feeling that when Kellen is older and can realy stand up and speak for himself and be listed he will be back. May not be today or tomorrow but i see it in the future. All hope isnt lost. We are all here for you. I watch may different you tube families and you are truely one my favorites. I look foward to seeing every week.

      And he will. Just because she is his “ birth mom “ and can control him now , this kid knows where he belongs ,loved and is cared for …no skin color or , demands will change this ….

God has greater things for y'all. Each of y'all are so special and have wonderful gifts as well as unconditional love which you have shared with each of us. Thank you for that.

    Ms. Tina! ❤
    You’ll never guess where I’m watching this video from.
    I’m on an Amtrak Train, from NYC to Ohio.
    It’s 1:40 am and I just woke up from a long nap. Cried myself to sleep.
    I just lost my Queen. 😢
    My 82 year old beloved Auntie.
    One of the Matriarchs of the family.
    Watching this video made me think, if only we all had an Alaskan Cabin to go and feel good and at peace.
    It’s so beautiful and peaceful.
    God bless you, Mr. Joe and Parker.
    Please stay safe and keep me in your prayers.
    I’ve never felt this sad in my life, and I lost my mom and my 38 year old son a few years ago.
    But, she was my world.
    Love you, Ms. Tina!

Just know that I will be praying for your heart Ms Mirna & for your family. Death comes to us all but darn if it doesn’t hurt so bad when we lose someone that means the world to us. I find peace knowing we’ll meet again. Like my Nampa. He loved the Lord & I know exactly where he’s spending eternity & that brings me so much peace. Thinking of you Ms Mirna! Hope you can feel my cyber hugs that I’m sending your way!❤️❤️❤️
