I could watch 100 videos on the row of you guys cooking, and I would be in one of my "happy places" every minute! Haha... Love them so much, keep them coming please!!!! xoxox
@@karenh.7086 I'm also that will happen 👍❤️ they really do come across as a very genuine, caring and thoughtful married couple, and having a great deal of passion for the things that they enjoy doing. I have no idea if all UA-cam channels are monetized but the aren't they very well should be, and of all the channels that l subscribe theirs may one of very few having such a huge following that isn't trying to selling merch, promoting a sponsor and I have very rarely seen any ads during their video. But if there was I'd be more than willing to watch if it helps supporting this channel. They are so deserving!
Your channel really is the best of everything. We have adventure, gardening, survival, fishing, cooking and all those beautiful views of wild Alaska. My favorite channel on UA-cam!
Another amazing episode of Simple Living Alaska: In the Kitchen with Eric and Arielle! Though we have very different tastes in food, I love watching the process, the uniqueness of your recipes and the fabulous results of your creations! As I always say, "any of the lifestyle or cooking channels would be lucky to have you guys!" --Jessica from Florida 🌞
I love watching both of you two cook and bake!! Taking living off grid to a awesome level!! Bravo 👏👏 coming from a old country girl!!! Stay safe and warm!! 👍🫂❤️💙
I just dragged my husband in to watch him make the pastrami. We are going to make it this weekend, looks incredible. It's not moose but venison, so nice to see new recipes and give me ideas. ☺
I love your cooking videos. You both seem like huge foodies!! You’re both awesome cooks. I’d really like to see a video talking about your pets. Like, how and when you got them, ages, stuff they like/don’t like. I really like seeing the dogs and as a cat person, love when Pepper makes an appearance.
Wow, that's all I can say. I enjoy the two of you showing everyone how you cook. I also like the fact that Eric helps with the cooking. You two are an awesome team. Thank you for the video's:)
I’ve got 3 kids under 5 and it’s the “witching hour” ‘round here. I’m counting the seconds til I can finally lay in bed and watch this new video. Thank you for providing sanity!!
You two are so good at filming your cooking adventures, not to mention cooking it. Everything looks wonderful and tasty, and give just enough prep airtime to allow a viewer to get how it’s done. Fantastic!
I love your videos and I’ve been keeping a journal of your recipes and every single one I have made and I love them all. Last night I made your enchiladas and I used chicken and it was so amazing. Thank you so much for making my day with your video today 🥰
That Moose meat has such a beautiful deep color. These are certainly some 5 star recipes. I enjoy seeing you both and your ingredient swaps to make it work. Thank you for sharing.
I love all your content but the cooking/recipe videos are just *chef kisses* - literally! Wish I could taste your happy creations. (P.S: I no longer buy paper towels because everytime I see them at the store, I just think of Ariel saying how it makes her sad using them and then throwing them away. Making an impact from one Alaskan to a Texan!)
That’s gotta be the easiest method for making puff pastry I’ve ever seen ! Definitely going to try it some day as it looked fab 👌 have you ever had stew and dumplings? Think it would be great for the moose meat too! Dumplings are really easy - basically half weight of fat to flour ratio. You can use any type of fat you like - some tallow and butter would be awesome. Season the flour with salt, pepper and herbs. Add the fat/s and work it in lightly until it forms a crumbly mixture. Add just enough cold water to bind everything together into a dough and form ping pong ball sized pieces from the dough. Drop the dough balls (dumplings we call them) in the stew and leave it all for about an hour. It’s awesome because as the dough cooks it absorbs the cooking liquids and flavors. Stew is normally any kind of beef or game meat in Scotland with seasonal veggies - it’s a hearty winter warmer dish 👌 I like to make a big batch and eat it for a few days normally 😅
I really like how authentic this channel is. Real people, acting normally instead of performing for a camera. It's very easy to watch, without getting fatigued. And the content is amazing in every way. I would love to live in a cabin, instead of in a city. Fishing any time I want? Hell yes.
Oh yum. Rustic cooking at its best. I love how easy you guys make it all look. How many is wonderfully delicious when paired with the right ingredients. Kudos to you Eric .
Every time I watch your videos I have a huge smile on my face! Thank you for lifting my spirits early in the week as my 20 year old cat had to be put to sleep this past Saturday. I'm sad but smiling because of Arielle and Eric!
Puff pastry is no joke, looks like all your moose meals turned out! I love pozole but never once thought to use moose meat. Guess that’s going to happen this week ;) Fun and amazing vid as always, loved seeing your critters chilling out! At least the wind finally stopped!
Two of the most amazing and real cooks on UA-cam. Your passion for good food and how attainable you make recipes I have always considered beyond my capabilities has been an inspiration.
I love the way you use everything, even snow. As a chef, puff and Remoulade Were the toughest items for me. I make a decent loaf of bread but Ariel's baking always awe's me. Stay safe n warm. Chef Scott
I look forward to every episode you guys put out. The cooking is great!!! I love to see how you gather and harvest your food, from the garden and the forest to fishing and hunting. Thank you for letting us go with you on this journey. My favorite may just be the trips to the cabins.
Honey child Eric, your cooking is great and amazing all you know, as for Arielle What enthusiasm I love she puts into her baking. You are truly both great mastering all sorts of dishes half of which I never even tried them, I will have to come and be your guest for dinner. 😘👍😘
I can’t believe you posted this... I was just out at our juniper bush wondering what could I do with my juniper berries??? I have deer and I need to make pastrami!!! Thanks guys!!! ❤️ y’all, Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This upload makes it better to deal with the strain on us nurses. Literally getting screwed out of a job and been crying all day. Thanks for the upload!
Love to watch your videos. You guys know your way around the kitchen. Y’all are such a lovely couple. Eric, you are pleasing to the eyes. Hubby and I are already looking forward to the next adventure.
That pastrami looks amazing!! I would love if you guys did a video on making that mustard! I'm growing Japanese red giant mustard for the first time and want to make mustard with it🤞. Sending love to ya!(all your recipes look awesome!)
Oh my good cooking! My stomach is growling after watching this. I miss eating moose, but trust me, I was never as inventive as y'all are! Love the flashes of the furry kids! ☮️ Peace and love 💜 from Kimberly in South Dakota 💙❤️
Cooking is my favorite part of your videos , gardening and preserving food are my second best . Thank you for all the knowledge and the entertainment .
For those who are curious: Hominy is usually corn that has been nixtamalized with lime (slaked or pickling lime, a product of limestone, not citrus). Doing this releases the otherwise bound-up proteins & nutrients, especially niacin, that would otherwise not be digestible--if you don't get enough niacin in your diet, you get the disease pellagra. Corn "masa" as an ingredient usually means it has bee nixtamalized & is much more nutritious. Lye (an alkaline precipitate of water through wood ashes) can also be used to nixtamalize corn, since it requires a strong alkaline solution to free up the nutrients in the corn. This was often done with the ashes from the fire used to parch the corn for long-term storage. The alkalinity would soften & cook the dried corn that was being rehydrated by indigenous nations across the Americas. Of course, those that had access to limestone would use it as well. They would kiln (high-temperature cook) the limestone into quicklime, then slake it (rehydrate it with water--a very exothermic process that would naturally boil the water via chemical reactions) to make it safer to use. (This is the same lime that is used in making mortar, cement and concrete, btw, but done to food grade standards.) Nixtamalized corn is a much more nutritious food product than raw corn, even if hominy corn tastes...different...from sweet corn cut fresh off the cob--you can still eat sweet corn, no problem, but for long-term storage, hominy or nixtamalized is healthier in the long run. One of the added benefits of nixtamalization is that the cornmeal or cornflour made from it actually holds together much better as a dough (which is where the term "masa" comes from) than if it isn't nixtamalized. And the dough made from freshly made hominy corn is the best in plasticity needed for shaping tortillas and so forth, since corn lacks the gluten that wheat, barley, rye, and so forth all have, the stuff that gives regular (wheat) flour its "stretch." If you're going to make nixtamalized corn / hominy at home, please do your research thoroughly, and do the boiling in a very well-ventillated area, as the steam coming off the cooking pot will be caustic (alkaline) and not a pleasant thing to inhale or get in your eyes, to put it mildly.
@@OldWaysGardeningandPrepping True! Lime is simply the modern method most commonly used, and lye was second-most common in recent centuries, of all the methods that got recorded for widespread use & knowledge. I freely admit I'm not that familiar with other methods beyond those two. May I ask which methods your people used? I'd love to learn more!
We’re just gonna add a little more wine because well “why not!” Well said, well done, perfecto! My mouth is watering. Were you two professional chefs in your past lives? You both work together so well and you do everything perfectly, I’m so jealous. You have such an incredibly beautiful life in the most beautiful place in America
I love y'all. Heading toward a mostly off-grid self sustaining existence in a MUCH warmer climate, it's great to see what you guys do with the limitations (AND ADVANTAGES) of where you live. I REALLY like the cooking stuff, as a chef.
Just an idea, beef Wellington also includes a layer of duxelles on top. You had all those awesome mushrooms so if you ate them all, well, carry on🙂 The puff pastry was glorious. You all are awesome, so thank you
YAY! My favorite kind of videos :) I could just watch you guys stream your lives I just find you guys so interesting!! Lol. Thank you for sharing and making my crappy day a little better :)
Now I'm hungry for dinner. Great video. Love how you manage to create fantastic dishes using the ingredients you have in your area. Also I enjoy your video production. You always manage to capture what it is you want your audience to be focused in on. Bravo!!
What a amazing job y’all did using everything you have on hand. I can’t believe how lean moose meat is no grease at all. Y’all made 5 delicious meals for sure. Enjoy your videos so much y’all are an awesome couple. Stay warm and safe. Lol
I used to help my grandmother make Montreal smoked meat and pastrami when I was a kid. Ive never attempted smoke meat because its a 2 weeks process AND I could find a zillion places that sell it in Toronto and Montreal. But now we are in a small city in canada that doesnt even have a deli..so i think im going to get a brisket and make that for my teenagers who I dont think have ever had it. Looked so easy
Could seriously watch you guys all day long! I’ve never eaten any wild game, but I think I would try it if y’all cooked it. Looks amazing! Take care and God bless ❤️
The lasange looks really good, raised on moose meat and its so strange that people dont know how it tastes 😁 great vid and thanks for your time you give us//SWEDEN
I don't know what moose meat tastes like because I live in Ohio. We don't have moose in this part of the country. I am curious about it and would like to try it. Does it have a gamey taste like white tail deer?
Hi! Fellow Swede here. Yes, but it is fairly accurate to describe moose meat as very close to beef and wouldn't describe it as gamey. I live in the South of Europe now and my husband hunts, but the gameyness that boar has here I never noticed in moose. Thinking about making pastrami from boar. I never thought about brining it for days like a Swedish Christmas ham, but it might actually be a very good solution using a brine like the one Eric made.
@@kaycampbell8532 I think I had deer once, but I don't remember what it was like. I bit ... sour, somehow? In my opinion moose isn't gamey. It is like beef but with a finer texture and since it's not fat like beef, it easily becomes very dry, almost crumbly.
Omg everything looks so delicious. This made me hungry, I’m going to go find something to munch on after watching your cooking video. Thank you for sharing.
I love this channel! I found it a few months ago and have been totally binging it with my girlfriend. We just feel so relaxed and at ease watching this channel. There's just truly something special about you guys. Thank you so much, and I have so much respect for your guys' journey to Alaska. We want to do something like this, but we're scared ofc and don't have nearly the experience either. Idk if we ever will, but you guys continue to be a huge inspiration and a joy to watch. Thank you
Awesome looking meals....now I'm hungry and have to make dinner. You guys made my Monday. What a great way to start my week watching your video. Have a great rest of the week.
Just so ya know, pastrami has a specific type of salt in it. Not just kosher salt. It is typically one made for curing or a pink salt. This is what gives pastrami it’s pink interior color. Other than that, looks amazing
@@SimpleLivingAlaska try it smoked next time! Then it’s pastrami. Corned beef, is what you made. But If you smoked it, and then steam it it becomes pastrami.
Just a quick tip: If you freeze your butter and then grate it using a cheese grater it makes life so much easier...assuming you don't have a food processor that is.
I don't eat flesh these days, but, your presentation is awesome. Thank you. We subsistence lived in Alaska. We ate what we hunted for and were grateful for it.
You guys cook some great looking food but I've always found it odd that you eat standing up so often. After all that effort I'd definitely want to get comfy to enjoy it.
Im sure they take a few sample bites and then sit down at the table/couch or something… but I have definitely had this thought as well lol I could never eat standing up.
How in the world do you two stay so trim? Well I already had my dinner earlier, but now after watching all that I’m hungry again. Great video guys, I do enjoy the cooking videos. Jimmy
I love the versatility in your filming. It cracks me up when one of you is the silent cameraman. I’m a very picky eater, but your food videos always make me want to try what you’re making.
I love when you do a video with a bunch of cooking! Everything always looks so tasty, and the fact that you make everything by hand makes it even better! ♥️
Eric you are a next level chef! You could have your own cooking show. But watch out, Ariel can hold her own with meals and that girl can BAKE! That is a science not all chefs can master EDIT loved the outro cause "why not"
When I read the title of this video, I stopped it and waited until I had finished supper before I watched, otherwise it would have been almost painful. Great cooking and a great video. You guys are awesome.
I have eaten a lot of Moose meat. Also had Caribou, Elk, Deer, all different varieties of Salmon and my favorite, Halibut. Did a lot of hunting and fishing while stationed in Anchorage. The two of you should write a cookbook.
Watching you both cook is just so comforting, the food always looks great and I love your enthusiasm for everything you do , you are both amazing and love that you always include the furry members of the family ❤️❤️
I could watch 100 videos on the row of you guys cooking, and I would be in one of my "happy places" every minute! Haha... Love them so much, keep them coming please!!!! xoxox

Thank you so much, and I have so much respect for your guys' journey to Alaska. We want to do something like this, but we're scared ofc and don't have nearly the experience either. Idk if we ever will, but you guys continue to be a huge inspiration and a joy to watch. Thank you
We were taking notes. I love hearty easy meals like this. ☺
You guys are so self sufficient. I’m amazed.
I did it again. Sent a comment before the video was done. Those meals look awesome. You two are great cooks and need to do a cookbook. Enjoy❤️
Awesome looking meals....now I'm hungry and have to make dinner. You guys made my Monday. What a great way to start my week watching your video. Have a great rest of the week.
Just so ya know, pastrami has a specific type of salt in it. Not just kosher salt. It is typically one made for curing or a pink salt. This is what gives pastrami it’s pink interior color. Other than that, looks amazing
It’s called pink salt or curing salt, Prague powder #1. Also this isn’t pastrami, this is corned beef(moose), pastrami would be this, But smoked.
We don't use curing salt for short brines such as this one, we usually use kosher salt but yes 100% they are not the same 🙂
@@SimpleLivingAlaska try it smoked next time! Then it’s pastrami.
Corned beef, is what you made. But If you smoked it, and then steam it it becomes pastrami.
I love the cooking and scenery episodes , Thankyou,you guys are doing a fine thing.
Oh my goodness! Every dinner looked amazing! Have you ever made something you didn't like?
Maybe about five times ever, we aren't picky 🙂
Just a quick tip: If you freeze your butter and then grate it using a cheese grater it makes life so much easier...assuming you don't have a food processor that is.
Don't leave us hangin - what was your favorite? Amazing cooking you guys!
They were all our favorites this time around 😄
I don't eat flesh these days, but, your presentation is awesome.
Thank you. We subsistence lived in Alaska. We ate what we hunted for and were grateful for it.
Yum!! I’m dying to make my own pastrami.
ABSOLUTELY ❤ IT WHEN u guys cook. U r both amazing. Again, thank you for being apart of my life dream!!!!!!
Everything looked so delicious !
You guys did it again. I'm now super hungry. Really fun to see you guys whip up creative dishes.
You guys cook some great looking food but I've always found it odd that you eat standing up so often. After all that effort I'd definitely want to get comfy to enjoy it.
It’s a good way they stay thin. Hard work, home cooking versus microwaved no effort junk, burning calories constantly!
They probably just do it for the video because there's better lighting where they're at and they have all their equipment set up in there.
Im sure they take a few sample bites and then sit down at the table/couch or something… but I have definitely had this thought as well lol I could never eat standing up.
@@angelamarie4137 that's what I'm thinking. We've also see them sit at the other cabin or maybe it was a public use ...I don't remember
Pretty sure they don't have much room for chairs to sit
Y'all amazes me how talented you are with your meals and Thank you so much for sharing 💗 ☃️☃️🥰🥰❄❄🥶🥶🎁🎁🎁
How in the world do you two stay so trim? Well I already had my dinner earlier, but now after watching all that I’m hungry again. Great video guys, I do enjoy the cooking videos. Jimmy
I love the versatility in your filming. It cracks me up when one of you is the silent cameraman. I’m a very picky eater, but your food videos always make me want to try what you’re making.
Watching you make that moose Wellington was awesome, very impressed! 👏
Nothing beats home cooking. You're both awesome cooks. 👨🍳👩🍳😂😂
I’ve been binge watching this channel for two days straight and I’m obsessed. You guys are absolutely phenomenal in everything that you do!!
Oh my goodness this was a delicious 😋looking adventure! 💝🙏💝
You make my old age so much more enjoyable. Just love watching you kids enjoying your life it so much fun going along with you ✋👵😊❤️❤️.
Usually after watching I would be starving...I made chili tonite and just finished eating. I love the cooking videos!
I love watching your videos, I'll start from the beginning and watch them all and then repeat
I love when you do a video with a bunch of cooking! Everything always looks so tasty, and the fact that you make everything by hand makes it even better! ♥️
😮 That looks delicious..
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great week you two..!!
Eric you are a next level chef! You could have your own cooking show. But watch out, Ariel can hold her own with meals and that girl can BAKE! That is a science not all chefs can master
EDIT loved the outro cause "why not"
Watching you guys cook has starved me to death! I do enjoy the sound of recipes.
When I read the title of this video, I stopped it and waited until I had finished supper before I watched, otherwise it would have been almost painful. Great cooking and a great video. You guys are awesome.
whenever you hear the line "Oooh My Gosh" it means the dishes APPROVED.
my family and I have enjoyed your lives your kitchen and garden. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my God it looks wonderful all the things that you have made I wish I was a Neighbor
I have eaten a lot of Moose meat. Also had Caribou, Elk, Deer, all different varieties of Salmon and my favorite, Halibut. Did a lot of hunting and fishing while stationed in Anchorage. The two of you should write a cookbook.
Watching you both cook is just so comforting, the food always looks great and I love your enthusiasm for everything you do , you are both amazing and love that you always include the furry members of the family ❤️❤️
So awesome guys. Thank you for the wonderful ideas. I’ve never made pastrami so that is definitely one for the near future. You guys rock!!🙂🙃😉
Great hardy recipes, meals. Love the way you clean the kitchen between shots, realy adds to video. Thanx, God bless.
I just love watching y’all cook. You are both great cooks and I love your recipes they look delicious! Another great video from SLA!!! 👍🏽
