Thank you for this. It sure beats the news. :)
I'm so glad that Matt showed how to clean ironware & season it properly. My friend Linda got a new iron skillet. She asked her facebook friends how to prepare that skillet for cooking. She called me up & asked me to come over & show her how. I love Linda but she's hard headed. I told her at least 10 times don't use soap on your iron skillet! She did. So I came over & gave her the drill again. She finally got it through her rock head lol 😆😂🤣. Now she just loves that skillet. She bought another one!
Best part of this video was watching Matt clean and season that large cast iron skillet. For those of us who haven't been doing it correctly, this free lesson was very beneficial!
Thank you for sharing this with us. Our rural heritage should be celebrated! God Bless the humble, industrious, Christian families that formed this great nation.
God bless you, your family and all your viewers
Thank you for the kindness 😀
Again I say thank you for sharing your family with us, I wish the rest of this old world could enjoy what we have in these here mountains. God truly smiles on us here in the Blue Ridge and Smokies.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I wish that too 😀
The music, cooking, homesteading, the beauty Appalachia, it's perfect. Thank you!
I feel grateful and truly blessed to have found your channel. Thank you for sharing another day in the life of "Celebrating Appalachia". Also, thank you for the dinner ideas. I always get so hungry after watching y'all cook!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful mountains, beautiful food, beautiful music......a beautiful life! Tfs 💞
Chocolate gravy, So many folks don’t know about this and think we are crazy till they try it. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
You live a blessed life. Thanks for sharing it with us. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching-so glad you enjoy it!
We grew up on chocolate gravy every Sunday morning before church. Lol. Good times
And ironically I play the guitar and violin. You can move away from the mountains but the mountains are always there.
Back in 1966 as a bride I walked to the hardware store and bought a skillet like that. I've cleaned it the way you do all these years. It's my favorite kitchen utensil.
Thank you Mr. Matt in showing how to clean and keep your cast iron in good shape!
Yeah, I find myself watching homestead shows and yours just to relax and unwind. Thank you
My Granny, Suzy Tudor was born and raised in Kentucky. She made milk gravy, and red eye gravy, but not chocolate. I think my Granny was holdin out on me! wink
So deeply moving to witness family as my mother experienced it. Myself, I grew up in a military family, but Dad tried to give us these experiences by keeping us off base and in agricultural settings.
Your family sure made my day. It's rainy and breezy here in Indiana, but this warmed me right up. Thank you for sharing your lives with the rest of us.
So glad you enjoyed it!!
I totally agree, there is nothing stressful about these wonderful videos. The news today brings you down, this family and their videos brings life back. God bless you.
Love my old Wagner and Griswold skillets, I clean mine much the same way. Thanks for another beautiful video.
Greetings from the North GA Appalachians! Love your celebration of this wonderful way of life. My kids go to the folk school camp over in Brasstown. Best wishes to you!
Just love your videos. Never knew you could use cast iron pans on a glass top stove. Thought they’d get too hot and crack the stove top. I have a cast iron skillet that was given to my Grandma on the day my Mom was born in 1914. Going to have to learn how to season it as I’m sure it needs it and then start using it!
We grew up with my Mom playing the piano. We took lessons and played piano, too, and my sister and I were both band kids. We sang around the piano as a family. What a blessing to grow up with the sound of music in one's home! My sister can play guitar and banjo. I always wanted to play the violin/fiddle. I absolutely loved the waltz. What joy to hear these instruments. Thanks for sharing your lives with us! What a yummy supper!!!! Thanks for showing how you season your pan! I have one for cooking in and one that is only for making cornbread. We're having pintos and cornbread tonight!❤️🙏from SC, Jane😊
Love watching your beautiful videos
Beautiful blessings from Scotland ❤
Glad you like them!
Thank you for showing the pan cleaning and seasoning!
From where I live, On the Cumberland Plateau? I can see those far blue mountains from the western side. I think they’re beautiful too.
They are so lovely! I'm glad you can see them to Larry!!

Thanks Sue! I hope you have a great week!
Getting back to the all the real simple pleasures in life vs the virtual world... what a joy!
I didn’t have chocolate gravy but I just got through having eggs, bacon, biscuits and bacon gravy!!!! Finished it off with a biscuit and honey from the farm!!! I live on the other side of the Appalachians than you all--eastern KY.
Sounds great! I love breakfast!
Wonderful video! I appreciate the time and effort. Loved the music, cooking, and gardening. You do live in Paradise!
This channel gives me so much peace! Thank you for sharing these moments with us!
Such a enjoyable and calming series of videos. Thank you so much for sharing.
God bless all here.
I was so blessed to stumble upon your videos…I find it truly a breath of fresh air in these tumultuous times. You are all so talented and hard working, a trait that seems almost lost in today’s world. Your girls are beautiful and so accomplished on their instruments and so down to earth looking….. what a wonderful diversion from the stressors of watching so many of our young people disparage our country. May the Lord continue to shower you all with blessings!
So glad you enjoy what we do!
Loved the video. That Kale looked so good. Cast iron skillets are truly family heirlooms to be passed down. Thanks for another great glimpse into your Appalachian life style. God Bless yall. :)
Thank you 😀 So glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you both have a great week!

Loved the Waltz piece so much! Beautiful

@@CelebratingAppalachia Yes ma’am I sure do…we live in Illinois but we also have a cottage on Roan Mountain Tn…! Trying to make it possible to move there in the near future…my people came from Tennessee and Kentucky! My soul misses that land🙏💖🙏
Nothing like the FAR BLUE MOUNTAINS!!💙💙💙💙💙
I agree!! Thanks for watching 😀
My mom and day come from Tennessee and watching you make that water gravy made me miss moms cooking. Wish I could live in North Carolina.
Once again great video...now im hungry..lol..loved the music by the way...rag in the bowl..with olive oil...gonna do that..
youre always cooking something amazing. makes it especially hard when I'm watching these videos from my office and haven't eaten all day.

Better days never to be seen again, that's for sure. At least we have the memories.
Thankyou! I live in Hollywood California. But my grandmother was born to coal miners in Scranton PA . I've travelled to East Tennessee and West Virginia and the Blue Ridge mountains are beautiful.
We spend two weeks a year in Appalachia and it’s just not enough. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Now I know how to tend to my iron skillet. Thanks
Thanks for watching Rose-hope you have a good week 😀
You and your beautiful family have it figured out. Not enough of this in the world.
Chocolate gravy is one of my favorite special treats.
Love chocolate gravy 😀 Thanks for watching!
This is my favorite channel on UA-cam. I get such great pleasure out of watching it.
Thank you Paula!! Hope you're having a good week 😀
Thanks for sharing how you re-season your cast iron pan. I've always wondered how to put the oil back in to keep the pans seasoned... thanks! really enjoy your videos. fyi: I live in Hedgesville, West Virginia.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching 😀
Well done girls, loved that tune.
We are in Corona lockdown again for one week, here in Melbourne Australia.
So much Appalachia packed into one video. You have carved out a life many long for.
Thank you Shirley! I hope you have a great week 😀
I love chocolate gravy on biscuits and toast.Was really a treat for us on Saturday mornings when I was a kid.
Enjoyed another great video! We always look forward to your videos, loved everything about it. Y’all are definitely very blessed. GOD Bless Y’all. 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇
Great video, as usual. I was curious about something. Wondering if you plan to do a video about - I don't know if you'd call it folklore or what, but stories or legends shared by your grandparents, etc. Good old ghost stories or bigfoot, etc. I think that kind of thing would be great listening if narrated by you with your smooth, calming voice.
I'm really looking forward to watching your evolving gardens! Your daughters are so lovely and talented.
I love you accent. Thinking of moving to WV from Charlotte next year. These vids are great.
I love your home place. I grew up in the Ozarks, Boston Mountains, I moved over 30 yrs ago. I would go back ,but my children all have made lives in my area. Cannot leave the grandlittles, but I wish we could live like ya'll.
The music alongside the cooking is very relaxing.
Like a Charming visit with you. Lovely. Music is delightful. Made me want to dance again..🌺
I enjoyed this poem about November in the Appalachia, thanks for sharing it. Dennis Morgan
Pretty soon we will all have to live like this again
I think Louis L'amour wrote about the blue mountains. ... Loved the video!
My gracious y'all do some fine cooking and eating. Makes me hungry. What a joy to have a creek so near. I look so forward to see the things you post. Love the music too😊!!!
Another awesome video...I sure needed the peacefulness from it today...
Hope your week is going well!
Brenda
Thanks Brenda! Hope you're having a good week too 😀
Another great video of Celebrating Appalachia, Thanks for sharing your time and your experience in cooking, gardening,music, and the tips on caring for iron cook ware.You all inspire me,to do the same. God Bless and have a great week. 🙂🙂
Thanks Donald-so glad you enjoyed it! Hope you have a good week too 😀
I worked up there a couple years ago and y’all have some of the best folks up that way I’ve ever met.
Appalachian people are the best!!
Loved the music!! They are so good. Brings tears of joy to my eyes! Thank you!! Your husband seems like he’s a great cook! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
Thank you so much!! He is a good cook 😀
I just love watchin all the lovely things you do. remindsme of ol times with my great grandparents in the same neck of the woods.
Love this! Yall should do the commentary when you cook as well
That is the right technique on them pans! Nicely done ! Fun stuff thanks for posting💯👍❤️
Watching you cook always makes me hungry😁🥰
🤗 Thank for watching!!
I enjoy the music so much; it is really beautiful! It's so sweet how Matt went and sat across from you on the other side of the panel when you were working on that narrow (for grapes?) bed. And then how you take care of the cast iron, I always like to see how other people do those kinds of things. I use my cast iron not very often for one main reason because the task of cleaning it seems hard to me, but you all make it look easy, and the finish looks like satin. Also, my pan is warped and does not sit flat on the glass cooktop eye that we have so I don't think it cooks very well.
The music, I have goosebumps! Thank you
Karen-so glad you enjoyed the music!
Enjoy your videos so much. The gardening, cooking, music and beautiful scenery. Love it all! I like Wagner cast iron better than the new stuff. I think there’s something different in the texture or something. I always look at yard sales and antique shops for other pieces.
Thank you Diane! I agree those old pans are better some how 😀
Now I’m hungry 🙂 I clean my cast iron pans the same way. Thanks for sharing a part of your world ❤️
Thanks for watching! Hope you have a good week Kat!
What a great vid! The special surprise for me was the chocolate gravey! I have never heard of that here in California, but it so makes sense. Super neat, my soninlaw and granddaughter would love this. I always enjoy what you film, you gardening, the music, cooking and your stream. Just a blessing, thank you. Karla in Cali.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful place to live.
Admiring your practical wholesome way of living
Love this! Beautiful landscape. I would love to just come and “sit a spell!”
Thank you Robbie!! Hope you have a good week 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia yes ma’am. Plan on getting some more garden planted 😉
Thank you for another great video and for your tips on taking care of the cast iron. You all are the best!!
Awesome video my family use to break out biscuits up just like that. Two of my older sisters were the only ones that made the chocolate gravy. A little flour with Coco mixed in, lol. Wow, that takes me back a few years. Sadly they are all gone now. Your video sure took me back for a few minutes. Thank you so much.
I recently stumbled upon your channel and I really enjoy it. My family are from Kentucky and your accent sounds just like my cousin. I remember visiting them every summer when I was a kid. They lived back a holler in Bullcreek Kentucky.
First minute and a half was makin' me hungry 🙂
😀 Thanks for watching Gregg! Hope you have a great week!
As always thank you for taking us along with you. The food looked wonderful and really made me hungry when the chocolate gravy and wilted greens were cooked. Have you tried tomato gravy before? It is wonderful as well. Have a blessed day. 🍀
Thank you so much for sharing sharing this with us God bless you
Lovely and peaceful as always!
I love it, it's real life being lived in the mountains! These quiet videos are so very soothing to my spirit!
Love all parts of these videos. One of my favorite scenes is watching ya'll cook in the iron skillets, so I really enjoyed seeing how ya'll keep them seasoned so well. The creek scenes are especially soothing!! I just found your channel last week and have been binge watching several episodes each night. Such a wonderful relaxing way to spend my evenings.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I enjoyed this a lot, always some new pearl of info. here! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love your videos
Those beautiful girls look just like mommy..
Lawd, I ain't had chocolate gravy in years. MM..MM..MM! You always trigger some great memories. Thanks for sharing.
"Yon way" she said. She talks like I do. I don't get to hear such familiar voices much any more. I don't hear many voices at all.
Papaw-thank you! It makes me feel good to know we say the same words 😀
From another Pawpaw, they's still some of us around here. We just get shuffled under the rug till somebody needs us these days. And as my granny used to say, my 'yers [ears] don't work as well as they used to. But by golly we are special people!
I live in the Appalachia area and love it!
Did a little fishing from the bank today, saw a couple bluebirds gathering for their nest, Canada geese, and swans, Sandhill cranes are too. Don’t get to close to those geese or swans you will get a scolding and maybe
You and your family are great ambassadors for Appalachia. Don't be surprised if more people start moving there because of you. lol
Love chocolate gravy and biscuits!
