Never apologize for a chatty kitty. Chatty kitties make a house a home!!
I agree. I love a chatty kitty as is my boy Siamese, a 7 year old Blue Lynx-Point Siamese. What a love bug he is and I so enjoy his company. Blessings to you, Mr. Fox and fur-babies. Sharon in Maryland
👏👏👏Yes , bé natural.
And pups
I'm so glad you rescued little Binky. She needed a warm heart like yours. ❤
You never need to apologize for a chatty kitty. 😺😺😺😺 I'm probably not the only viewer who looks forward to the little furry cameos.
Me too ! I am always disappointed when there are no pets highlighted !
@@rosemarybaranowsky6746 Same. He could do a whole episode on his pets and I'd love it!
This channel is my happy place where all is right with the world.
I agrede with you. Kevin's house is a little portion of Paradise 💞
Kevin, I never watch cooking or lifestyle shows on UA-cam, but your personality has really drawn me into your channel. Several times in each of your videos I catch myself beaming with a huge smile...which is not something I do often these days. You have a warm, gentle, and joyous soul. Don't ever for a moment doubt whether your videos are worth the effort--your work is bringing real happiness into people's lives. That is a great and powerful gift.
Thank you so much for your encouraging videos. I received the Valentine's box from Tierra farms today and am currently sipping the wonderful tea! Tomorrow im making the sausage pepper bake you showed in an earlier video, and the orange chocolate chip cookies with the Tierra farms chips. Im having a few friends over to share with them. You are making the world a lovelier place by encouraging your viewers to try these things. Many blessings.
I think I just found my new comfort channel!
Your stainless roasting pan serves your need for a larger mixing bowl very well. A good motto to me is " use what you have", and you did. Save your money for something else you REALLY need. Love your show.
Thank you Kevin for another great video....the wonderful recipes, beautiful scenery, glimpses of the furry members of the family, and some lovely homemaking! 💖
I love when you go for a ride. It feels like being with a friend, just running errands. And it's wonderful to see your neighborhood covered in beautiful snow.
The NE area where you live transports me to another time and place from the more modern Pacific NW where I live. I never visited your region until my mid 50’s and hope to again soon as my daughter lives in CT. Be safe in the winter ice and be blessed.
@@lauriesue2244 I'm Australian, and to me much of the eastern USA countryside looks quite European, especially in Kevin's neck of the woods. It's hard to state how envious I am when seeing such greenery (not in this video of course), and the autumn colours are spectacular. Side note: I believe Kevin is originally from your region!
I wanted to tell you, Kevin, that Ive been following a page that shows old homes redone, and another page that has to do exclusively with Victorian homes redone....and I must tell you, Kevin, that of all the great many homes I've viewed, YOURS IS THE BEST in terms of comfort and be c a u se everything is so well put together in your home...you have a keen eye for beauty, comfort, eye appeal, and "livability" that not even ONE of the dozens of other redone homes possess ❤😊!

You have created a little bit of heaven on earth Kevin and it is a treat to share it with you. Thank you for producing such excellent content for us to enjoy and escape for a few precious minutes. 🙏❤️
Kevin, you pick the loveliest music on your vlogs.
I agree! I particularly enjoy the folksy traveling music. Wish I knew who the singers are!
Indeed! Music matters!
Kevin, are you playing the piano music? Lovely!
I agree! What artist is the singer who sings on your sojourns in the car?
Hi Kevin, I just love your channel -- your vidoes are so calming and I always get something out of them. Thanks for these freezer meal ideas -- great for someone like me who works full-time and lives alone. I have some casserole recipes that could be put into containers or freezer bags and frozen -- one is fried pork chops with rice. I season the chops with salt, dredge them in flour, fry them in oil, till browned and place on top of some white rice in. acasserole dish that I've seasoned and to which I've added some cream of mushroom soup. You then cover with foil and bake in the oven for 1 hour at 350F. You can prep it a day in advance, (all but the putting it in the oven) and I don't see why you couldn't freeze it after it cooks and cools down.
Wonderful recipes Kevin! My daughter will soon be giving birth to our second grandchild (any day now). I will make these recipes for them as postpartum meals. I'm sure they'll appreciate not having to cook every night.
We saw that eyebrow rise when you opted for 5 pieces of bacon! Good decision! One can never have too much bacon!
The roasting pan was a great idea. Then you don’t need that big bowl.
3 fabulous dinners. Great! At the age of 71 I tried to make Mac and cheese for the first time the other night. I had a terrible recipe and it came out terrible! Your recipe is so much better and I'm looking forward to making it this weekend along with the meatloaf. Thank you, Kevin!
I so enjoy your cooking demonstrations. The food always looks delicious and doesn’t require exotic ingredients that would require various shops to locate. One thing I do with meatloaves or other large casseroles is to mix the chopped or marinating ingredients before adding to the meats. That way, they are already evenly distributed and combined before adding to the rest of the ingredients. I love your road trips. Your videos bring a sense of calm, love, and friendliness to what can often seem like a very unwelcoming world. Please know your contribution through recipes, gardening, floral design, and scenes of your lovely home, gardens, and neighborhood makes this a more beautiful world for all of us. Keep well.
Oh yum...I am watching this at midnight and am now dying for some home made mac and cheese! Everything looks delicious, as usual. Love hearing Goldie chatting!
Your tulips remind of our house in Indiana. A nice surprise while watching from my hospital bed. Thank you!!!
I have recently discovered your videos and have been watching and enjoying one every evening. You have a unique gift of making the viewer feel as if I am a friend who is accompanying you as you travel around town running errands, cooking up something luscious, decorating, or just living your daily life. Although I realize your life circumstances and most of your viewers’ circumstances are very different economically, the recipes you post, the little life’s niceties and decorating suggestions that you share with us can easily fit into or can be modified to fit into lifestyles of almost any financial circumstance. Your videos are a joy and inspiration and your soft spoken demeanor is truly appreciated in this world of cacophony and discord. I’m so happy to have found you and I always look forward to your latest video even as I catch up with your earlier videos.
Thank you Kevin! I made your Salmon with sun dried tomatoes, cream, baby spinach, etc. It was really good. I’m learning a lot from you. You are my best way to chill out. I binge watch you cook, decorate, play the piano, and clean your beautiful home. My husband doesn’t watch your channel, but you are a common name in our home. He loved your Salmon.
Same here! I’d never think to add white beans to salmon, along with sun dried tomatoes and cream. Such a simple recipe, but that combination is divine. We loved that dish!
❤ Hello my friend.
Well usually people gain weight in the winter, but I noticed you are loosing weight. Looking Good👍🏻
Thank you for the recipe's.
I can't wait for my family to have dinner with Kevin.
When my children were younger, I used to cook on a Saturday the meals for the week and post the menu on the refrigerator in case when they came home from school they were hungry.
They usually waited to have dinner together instead they all took a nap😂
Nice memories.
I love, love taking a drive with you.
When my children went to college I would get up early and drive, drive, drive.
Two hours were my maximum.
Thanks you again, be safe 🙏
I got into freezing meals when I was pregnant with my second son. At the time microwaves were not around so I had a food sealer and I could cook the sealed food in boiling water to reheat. I even made a Christmas Eve dinner and froze everything (baby #2 came right before Thanksgiving). Now I make big batches of a hearty chicken broth and I use that as a base for many types of soup-from tomato to broccoli to leek soup and garlic soup. I’m writing a cookbook for soft food foodies with soups, soufflés and smoothies. I think I freeze most of what i make. Scones. Bread, sauces, and more. You were so right when you said when you don’t feel like cooking, having a meal in the freezer is so nice. I also love the way you pronounced Gouda. That’s what I call it after going to the Netherlands and seeing them make the cheese. And they told us the proper way to say it. Delish!
Hi again! You are quite the cook and sound quite organized as well. Enjoyed reading your comments, thanks for sharing. Good wishes on writing a cookbook! Sounds tasty.
Another wonderful video with beautiful piano music! Thank you! And yes sir, everyone needs an orange kitty to keep them humble. Thanks again.
What a beautiful town you live in, Kevin. There are so many pretty looking houses...thanks for showing them as you drove to get flowers❤
I love your videos Kevin, great recipes, all three of them I shall be trying, and what a lovely drive to the florist for your super flowers which looked beautiful when arranged, x
Kevin,you're inspiration personified 😂❤
Kevin, could you possibly share the types of wines you pair with your meals for those of us who are less initiated in the possibilities? Your presentations are so appreciated!
I value your company too Mr. Kevin. My heart was in the Mac and Cheese dish. I also love Teriyaki Chicken with Jasmine rice. As soon as I saw you step out of the house I said “yippee,” as I knew I was going to enjoy that beautiful background music. I adore it as it is so peaceful and full of positive vibes. Blessings to all out there in virtual land….🗽🗽🌹❤️
It’s just a joy to see how men is cooking. In my life I met so many lazy men who just wanted from a woman doing everything when they were not giving anything, that it looks almost like a miracle. Thanks for sharing this video.
Love your “very chatty kitty” and your make and freeze meal plans! I am planning some now! Thank you once again, Kevin.❤
Looking particularly dapper in this week's video, Kevin.
Beautiful jacket!
My son and his wife are expecting their first baby soon and you just gave me some good ideas for meals to bring or freeze for them.
Wonderful meals that I will have to try. I have made many of your fabulous recipes. Thank you. Also, I wanted to comment on what a wonderful job Lizeth does on the videos. She captures so many different and beautiful scenes of the fur babies and especially your beautiful home 🏡 and garden. ❤
Hi Kevin
I truly enjoy your show and recipe. Your manner and demeanor are so good and cultured. Your wording and music are perfect and not over bearing. Hudson valley area is very dear to my heart. All the beautiful shots in your video reminds me of the heavenly place. Love your music room and your pianos. It resonates with me as I also play a little bit. Hope you will host more concert and share with us. Thank you very much for the wonderful shows you brought to our life.
Kevin, do you eat all your evening meals in the drawing room with fresh flowers? What a great way to savor the day and being kind to your self.
Oh Kevin.....you made me change my mind from shrimp scampi to mac n cheese with broccoli and kielbasa 😊.
Always a treat to watch you, T.Y.
Love, love, love your channel!! I’ve been learning about so many things from you! Thank you Kevin🤗💕🤗💕🤗💕🤗💕
So enjoyed the scenery on the drive. Beautiful houses. Lasagna is my favorite make ahead freezer meal. Goldie has a beautiful fluffy tail. Very good for parading around and showing off😂
Was happy to see another video! I received the Tierra Farms Valentines box today! The Chocolate chips are great! Hope to bake cookies soon! Thank you!
You are such a good thorough teacher. Every step is clearly defined
I rarely freeze recipes mostly because my freezer is small. But I'm anxious to make the teriyaki thighs. Love tulips in January! Adore your pets too.
Love from Vienna Austria. Bussi aus Wien ❤
Hi, my daughter has read and watched your recipes, I hope she becomes a good expert in the kitchen in the meantime. We greet her warmly...brrr it's cold outside!🇮🇹♥️🌐
When I got married I could not cook and I learned how from watching TV cooks.
@@dianedobry800 I admire you.
When first married, I too could only boil water and make eggs in the microwave. My husband taught me some then later, I learn to make bread and preserves from two homemakers on the internet! Thank you for sharing as I bet you are a wonderful cook/baker now and have your own special meals everyone loves!
I’m always excited when you have a new video available. ❤
Larger mixing containers get everything mixed .
Large bowls are always found at resale shops .
Mr Kevin Lee Jacobs you are such a kind and bright person, I wish you sincere happiness and health to you and your family. Amazing person, you are awesome, greetings from Russia with love).
I must say you look very "élégant" in that burgandy coat ! Also you live in a very lovely neighborhood, all those beautiful houses we saw on your way to the store. I will try your turkey loaf this weekend. Thank you and bonne journée.
Yummy meals !! I love journeying to the tierrA farm or shops with you .. the houses along the way are fab. Goldie is growing ! 🇬🇧🙏🏼🥰😍 oh by the way I make a mean lentil cottage pie it freezes well 😊
You cook very healthy food. This food is not only healthy, but also delicious. You cook very beautifully. Thank you very much.
Does anyone else nod their head when tasting something delicious? I now do. 👍😂❤️
Yes!!!!!! I absolutely do!! 😊 just like Kevin!!
Lol, I sure do.
Yes! 💖
Yes.
Funny.
As a fairly new subscriber, I want you to know how much I have enjoyed each of your videos! They really brighten my day! I grew up not too far from where you lives - such a beautiful area.
Kevin another segment with great recipes. I love to precook meals for the freezer it saves us time and keeps us on a good road of cooking. You must do a segment with you and Lissette, we would love to hear from her. Since she is probably the one behind the carmera. Hope you two will consider doing a short hello for all of us. Thanks as always for the wonderful road trip to the store, you got a lot more snow than me (since I am on the Coast).
Oh Kevin again you are so marvellous to watch and listen to. I wish that here in South Africa we dont have the availability of the unique and marvellous farmers
Markets and amazing variety of pre -packed produce and provisions. Thank you so much. Merci beaucoup you wonderful soul x
I turn on a KLJ video, watch the beautiful home and great recipes, and I’m instantly relaxed.
I also put broccoli in my GF macaroni and cheese (but no sausage). It’s good that way, and it’s a great way to eat more vegetables.
i am also a big fan of batch cooking for the freezer. prepare in one day, eat for a month or even two! my favourites include chicken cordon bleu, eggplant parm, soups and stews, and especially tomato based sauces (marinara or meat) which freeze very well and give you the taste of summer in the winter time
oh Kevin! forget the big bowls! that roasting pan is better for us to see and to mix in. My favorite freezer meals are many but its always nice to have shepherd’s pie, cabbage rolls, or scratch lasagna ready to eat. All three are a mess to make and time consuming so freezing portions is a must for me.
It all looks delicious, and I love all of your fur babies! I like to make pot roast and soups, and freeze them in individual servings.
Este sitio tuyo , Kevin , está lleno de encanto . Tus movimientos en la cocina , la voz , la sencillez de tus utensilios de cocina y la música que acompaña son muy agradables .
Créeme .
I love that "Slo-Joe" broccoli toss!
🤩
Just found your channel and I have been binge watching them. I love your calm and gentle spirit. I really enjoy your trips to get flowers. God Bless⚘️🌷🌻🌸😀
Everything looks fabulous. And THANK YOU….. a new way to do chicken! Ha! ❤
케빈의 요리는 항상
신선한 충격을 주는군요
고풍스러운 집들
눈내린 풍경들
나뭇가지 꺽어 화병에
꼽는 낭만과 운치
기품과 우아함이
돋보이는 모습이
늘 아름답습니다~
Can't wait to try all these recipes in the freezer for later....thanks for sharing your recipes with us....great video. Love hearing kitty "talk" to us....lol
Моё любимое замороженное блюдо это мороженое. Я делаю его сама из сливок и сгущённого молока.
You never disappoint. You're a pleasure too watch. Thank you!
I'm so glad you have someone to help with the camera work. Always a lovely presentation. And I'm definitely making meat loaf for dinner!
So beautiful are the small things in life and being present to them with beautiful music and a sweet kind man!
I LOVE the blue plates and napkins. And I love how you elevated a mac and cheese dinner with nice dishes and wine. 😄
I love that your recipes are first always looking delicious, and second, seem so doable. I don’t think of freezing, but certainly will now, especially my meatloaf. I love the chicken recipe, and the idea of marinating when unfreezing. Love the drive for the flowers. Miss the snow, but not living with it.
Throughly enjoyed the video.
My favourite freezer meals are Shepherds Pie and Moussaka - they are both easy to make as bulk meals for the freezer and are invariably standby meals waiting in the freezer when we return from holidays and I do not not feel like cooking!
Thank you so much for your time and dedication, I feel that I am your gues and happiness is all over the conversation, what a wonderful person you are. cheers💙
An absolute favourite of mine is cheese, onion and potato pie. Scrumptious! From the UK x
I really enjoy your videos.
I have a whole chicken in the refrigerator. I'm going to try the marinade and grill it. I forget the term... I remove the back, breast bone, and wing tips. Then I flatten it out. It makes it grill evenly. The parts I remove get saved in the freezer for future stock, even any extra fat or skin.. If there's organ meat, it gets boiled for the neighborhood cats.
It just so happens that I pulled some fresh ginger from my California garden last week. That's why I liked your recipe. It's my first year growing it,. When I saw that it had died back from a few nights of light frost, I pulled it. To my surprise, it looked beautiful. It's about half the size of store ginger, but it's perfectly edible.
I don't have freezer recipes. That's why I watched. This year, I was better about freezing garden produce for Winter use. I put up onions, celery, and peppers. I'm just about out, so that was a success.
I'm just learning how to make omelettes. Having the veg in the freezer makes it easier to make a hot breakfast as delicious as going out. (Current prices have changed our habits).
I've also begun portioning meat before freezing, to save money. I usually cook just enough for dinner and a smaller portion for lunch the next day. This time of year a pot roast is good. I have a small crock pot. It will hold 1 1/2 lb of meat, a few potatoes, and the carrots. So, if I get a roast, I cut it into smaller chunks. I use one and freeze the rest. I like to use crock pots on the days I'm busy in the afternoon.
The other day I made a sweet n sour pork in the small crock. I sliced a lb of tenderloin into chops. I added a few garden sweet potatoes. They were peeled and put into big chunks. Then I added a few pieces of leftover pineapple. It wasn't enough, so I also added candied/dried pineapple. I took a nub of fresh ginger and chopped it fine. Half a chopped onion. Salt, pepper, nutmeg, worcheshire sauce, mustard, and brown sugar... and maybe a half cup of water so it wouldn't be too dry and burn. Orange juice or stock would be fine too
Spatchcocked, I think.
Hello Kevin: I just love your channel, cooking, baking, beautiful home, gardens, and fur babies. I ordered tea from Tierra farm and I'm so excited to get it. You are amazing and I love sharing afternoon tea with you.
OMG! We got our Tierra farm coffee, tea, and chocolate chip order today. They are so prompt! We’re having the coffee for breakfast tomorrow and I can’t wait to make some cookies!
What a cozy, slow , calming video! Always love watching you cook something wonderful. It really motivates me to try new recipes. I would love a slice of that meatloaf next to that mac and cheese! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm. The drive in your snowy neighborhood, with those amazing homes is so peaceful.. And anytime you're in the garden makes me happy . Its especially lovely in the winter.
Hello Kevin, The macaroni and cheese look fabulous. One of my all time favorites! Enjoy and stay fabulous
Wow! That macaroni and cheese looks glorious! I'm rooting for you, Kevin; you're going to exceed 100k subs this year! Well done! I've thoroughly enjoyed watching your channel grow and dining in with you!
Greetings from England,a regular watcher,love all your videos,you have such a fantastic personality
Everything looks delicious, you make it all look so easy and relaxing,and it's always enjoyable to go for a little drive with you Kevin, thankyou 😊
Your recipes look delicious. You are pushing 100 thousand subscribers. Bravo. I'm comfortable with chatty kitties, we have 3 lol
Thank you so much. I absolutely love your videos.All of the recipes that I have made so far from your channel have been so delicious and my family loves them. Once again you have outdone yourself.
Have a wonderful day.
Very famous celebs know about your channel now Kevin:-) I told them too😊
Mr. Jacobs, you are a true angel of beauty and sweetness. See you soon. Italy
Kevin,
I took time to watch all your shows going to the first episode available on UA-cam and have to say that last year or so videos are qualitatively different from earlier ones. Kudos and cheers!
Is that Mr. Potato Head as a cowboy??? Is he just a decoration? I love hidden things like that. You cook like ME… always wind up adding a Bigger Bowl! 😂
The meat for the spaghetti bolognaise is very good to freeze. It is one of my favourites. Thanks once again for your excellent video. Luisa from 🇵🇹 Portugal.
Hello Kevin, your meals look so lovely. I have to also say how much I love your garden. It’s so beautiful no matter what the season! I so enjoy watching your vlogs. From Vanessa, in England!❤
I just adore this channel and your videos. Your menus are elegant yet simple with ingredients we can get. So inspiring! I made several of your appetizers you made for the piano concert at your home. They were incredible and I got raves!
Thanks for all you do. Love it!💕
You are simply the best!!! Greetings from Greece. We certainly enjoy your company too, every time.
Hi Kevin just found your channel about 2 months ago and love it so much! I ordered your Valentine box and some additional things from Tierra Farms and am anxiously awaiting their arrival! I have started having a nice evening tea with all the trappings and have grown to love that routine. Thank you!
Такой приятный мужчина. Смотреть одно удовольствие❤
Merci beaucoup pour une autre belle vidéo. Je n'aime pas vraiment les plats surgelés, mais j'en utilise parfois. En général je congèle des produits semi-finis, comme de la pâte, des escalopes de viande et des légumes. Parfois je peux congeler des champignons rôtis, du Bœuf Bourguigno, les terrins etc.
Je recommande fortement d'utiliser la sauce Béchamel pour les gratens et la lasagne. Et je prépare généralement la sauce à la viande Bolognaise à l'avance, je la met dans des bocaux et je la garde comme de la nourriture en conserve.
I love everything about your channel. The pets are wonderful ❤❤❤
Wonderful idea, and wonderful recipes! Thanks! ♥️🙋♀️
Well I’ll be making the macaroni dish this week. I can’t wait. Thanks for another great recipe Kevin.
Thank you from Basel Switzerland
