I wish the most disappointing thing about myself was that I couldn't make bread or bagels from scratch correctly. Deliah! You are making from stratch!!! That a huge accomplish that you even take the time to do that! The true success is that you keep trying! Don't be so hard on yourself.
I'm not a mom at all. In fact, I'm in college, but I enjoy your longer videos. You have seemed a bit tense in these last couple videos, but I understand things are changing and very difficult. It's sweet that you are willing to be vulnerable. Remember to give yourself grace.
Coming from another mum of four, it's ok to choose easy sometimes. I know you obviously love making from scratch etc and good on you for that! But the weeks that are hard, buy the store bought yoghurt and bread! Having four children can be a lot and just surviving in this stage of life is totally normal. Don't beat yourself up for not being perfect. Serve some cereal for breaky, I can guarantee your children are not going to mind one bit! I hope this comes off helpful and not as criticism. You're doing great xx
Delilah, I’m 60 years old. I still get in ruts, have failures in the kitchen, and let the dust collect from time to time. You’re a human soul, give yourself grace sweet young woman.
Delilah, I am in metro Detroit. I am a Mom of 3 under 5. You have taught me a lot of things over 3 years. For instance, I copy paste your recipes to pack my freezers before having a baby. I can attest that I delivered a baby girl on December 18, 2023 and i am still eating from my freezer. Thank you! Also, I appreciate how you motivate me to do clean up and deep decluttering. This morning I was thinking about feeding my 4months old baby and I knew I can learn some baby foods recipes from you. I was right...now I am done making all the yummy baby recipes . Just when you feel discouraged remember that you are making a huge impact in a Mom across the Detroit River from Canada. Even if your content managed to impact me as one person that's a win. Also, I appreciate that you do everything around your kids...and I felt validated that all my babies sleep with us. You are not a failure and you have God in your home. God bless you and your family. Claire in metro Detroit Michigan ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Delilah, you are the most encouraging woman I know, what you achieve in your weekly videos is amazing! Teaching your children, cooking from scratch, making bread, yoghurt etc from scratch .... you are amazing! Dont get down hearted, we are in awe of you xxx ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This video brought so much encouragement! Often times UA-cam only portrays successes and the positive side of the story. Its great to see candid life with successes and failures and frustrations. You are such an amazing example of what a great mother looks like and I appreciate you sharing all of this with us. I completely understand how you feel about clutter as well!
Just echoing all the other comments of gratitude and appreciation on here. Can’t even fully put into words just how refreshing this video was. So I’ll just say thank you ❤️
You bring you and going on your journey is such an inspiration. You making food from scratch is such an inspiration Your videos are so grounding and calming. Thank you and bless you 💕
I’ve been watching you since before I even planned on having kids. I have a little boy of my own now who will be 4 in October and you inspire me so so much. I didn’t have the best example of parents growing up, so having someone like you I can learn from has been such a blessing and I am so grateful to see that you also have some struggles. It makes me feel like less of a failure when things don’t work out perfectly like I planned it in my mind. Thank you so much for being such a good example❤
These words came into my mind: your worth is not determined by how well you're able to do something. Your worth is not determined by how energetic or efficient you are. You are worthy, period. That you can do things is great, but don't think your worth depends on it.
This video was exactly what I needed! I have been going through a lot lately as a first time mom and this made me feel so understood. Perseverance is so difficult in a culture and time when its all about instant satisfaction. Life is not like that and it can get very difficult to start over and keep our head high day after day. You are an incredible person and to everyone out there who needs to hear this, you are not alone in this struggle. Thank you Delilah!
Tip for fresh milled flour - it takes longer to absorb liquids. So for example, if I am making a yeast bun recipe, i will combine all my wet and dry ingredients (with the exception of my little bit of water w/ yeast blooming) and let the flour absorb the liquids for about 25 minutes before adding my leavening agent and kneading. Also, I usually add a bit more fresh milled flour to a recipe than traditional AP because freshly milled is much fluffier than AP.
Finally someone relatable! I subscribed instantly! It's so refreshing to see someone who doesn't give the air of perfection and having it all together and can admit that things don't always go well. I'm glad you persevered despite everything, what matters is picking yourself up and bouncing back.
I truly believe that God speaks through us to help other people, thank you for sharing this scripture and your experiences. It was a reminder that I needed today ✨
Oh my gosh how good - I’ve cried two nights in a row over meals that I’ve cooked not turning out and I was feeling so discouraged & then you posted this video! Soooo perfect and timely. Although I’m not surprised - the Lord has always used you to encourage me as a mama and homemaker. Thanks Delilah xx
I’m a professional pastry chef and literally have shed so many tears over failed desserts and doughs. Things that work for years will all of the sudden stop working for no apparent reason. It’s not just you! ❤
Hi Delilah, I had some DIY failures recently and learned so much from it! The most important part was to put it in perspective, it's just paint. My family is healthy and happy.
ive never seen anyone washing their fruit with soap^^ Here in Germany, if i cant find an organic version I wash my fruits with baking soda. This helps to get rid of pesticides. I learned that after becoming a mom. (I wash organic fruits with water alone)
Your videos really are the best, Delilah. Thank you for keeping it real and encouraging those in the thick of it. I see such a peace and love in you that can only come from walking close to Christ. Keep up the good work.
This is honestly so amazing and such a sweet thing from the Lord!! I recently started my homemaking journey as a young woman preparing for marriage and yesterday I made butternut soup and it did NOT exactly turn out how I imagined it was going to😂. I felt so discouraged and really was getting stuck in perfectionism. Because also I was making it for my boyfriend and I to share, and was genuinely feel like I was going to let him down. This was suchhh a beautiful reminder and honestly exactly what I needed! I literally only found your channel this past Sunday too! Our Father is so kind!
I have been watching your videos since William was born and I love when you upload, I’m a silent watcher and don’t usually comment but this heart to heart video really spoke to me.. I feel like I too am going through a season of feeling disheartened and I really felt everything you said and even picked up my bible to read those verses properly and really sat with the Lord so thank you for being so open ❤
Delilah, I’m a stay at home mom of 2. After having such an encouraging & mostly inspiring winter in the kitchen, I too have been in a rut lately. I was looking so forward to spring but I’ve found that surprisingly I’ve had such a lack of motivation & have noticed such a change in my moods. I find myself so irritable lately & I am not exactly sure why. I was walking through hobby lobby this past weekend and I looked over to a sign that said “be patient with yourself, nothing in nature blooms all year” I think it can also be discouraging when we find ourselves feeling this way in the spring / seasons when we usually would be inspired & happy, then we are hard on ourselves for feeling this way. Anyway, this whole time I was watching this video, it was like you were speaking straight to how I’ve been feeling. I can’t tell you how less alone I feel after finishing this video. Thank you so much for being authentic & honest, simply just knowing someone else has been feeling the same way I have been, makes me go easier on myself. This couldn’t have come at a more perfect time for me.
Hey! On the pasta, try standing on a little step stool so that you can put more of your whole upper body into the kneading. I do that since I’m short, but it really helps to keep you from just using your arm muscle. I hope it would be helpful for you too! I really enjoyed your video and thanks for sharing!
Thankyou so much Delilah for courageously sharing your discouraging moments, it really brings hope and encouragement to me reminding me that I am not the only person who is experiencing failure and that it's part of life, especially now that recently what i've been seeing online were things that are too good to be true, where mistakes are being edited or cut off. And sharing words from the the bible really really creates a huge impact. I thank the Lord for your life, may God bless you more and your family❣️
Oh this is so beautiful. My husband and I are in a pruning season as well. I can’t wait to bond with my daughter when she comes in June, hearing your testimony of your daughter’s heart is so sweet 💖 blessings to you!
Sometimes emotions we carry are unavoidable. The fact that you listen to God’s words and always strive to be better makes you an amazing person. You are sensitive as am I. But I am much older and have had many years of mistakes. Trials and errors. You sound like a gentle soul. God smiles down on you for Blessed are they who are poor in spirit, which basically means you always know that you need God. I was a stay at home mom and at times could be very hard. Now I babysit my grandchildren. But, you are way ahead of me…I do not enjoy cooking. My husband I are retired and although, I cooked when the kids were young, he does the cooking now and I do the cleaning 😊😊❤❤
Delilah, you are the furthest from failing! God is there with you! He knows how great you are doing! Keep up the great work! You have achieved so much! You guys are excellent parents❤
Those seasons of pruning are so hard and we can understand even greater why we need the Lord’s strength. Thank you for sharing the ups and downs because we all have them more than we would like to admit. ❤
I love watching your content☺️ I’ve made homemade pasta a handful of times both by hand and in the kitchen aid. I use the ballerina farm recipe, which is 6 eggs, 4 cups of ap flour, 1 tsp salt and 1-2 tsp olive oil. The recipe says to hand knead for 10 mins but I use the machine for probably 7, until the texture feels right. I also have one of those pasta presses for making different types of pasta and I find that it needs a nice and non-sticky dough, which I find the ballerina farm recipe is perfect for. Hope that helps☺️
Try to think of it as learning and growing rather than 'failures'.😊 The fact that you even tackle these things says so much about you! You are doing great, Delilah!!🥰
🍝Pasta Machines🍝 I had one maybe 10 years ago. It was an Italian brand name I can’t recall. Very was difficult to clean and made small batches. I ended up donating it, lol. Fingers crossed things have advanced since then. My advice is do lots of homework. Make sure you get a machine that checks all your boxes. It’s a single tasker machine that’s going to take up space in your kitchen. I do feel your pain! Pasta dough is tough!!❤
Please give yourself grace having a new baby with a full family and a household. Don't forget hormones and everything that goes along with that. You are such an encouragement and sharing your faith in Jesus is always so uplifting. Remember He has you in the palm of His hand. When I go through times like that it's usually when the Lord is doing something new. You are a blessing.
I’ve been feeling extremely stressed out and overwhelmed lately. This was uplifting and motivating to lay it all down at the feet of Jesus and allow Him to work in my heart to change my perception and attitude.
I mix my pasta dough in my kitchen aide mixer with the dough hook!!! Works great and then I have the pasta attachment to knead the dough thin and another attachment to cut the noodles to the shape I want, like spaghetti or lasagna or other types of pasta...I use it also to make my egg noodles for my homemade chicken noodle or beef noodle soups
The best vlog ever! Thanks for all your movies. I'm Catholic mum of 3 girl's (4yo, 3yo, 1yo) in Poland. Icm thinking about homeschool, i love cooking, banking, make jogurt/cheeses and more my own. I think, that my hands have power only with My Lord.
This was so encouraging, I’m going through a similar time right now. I’ve been cooking less and buying more premade foods because I’ve been discouraged/tired. This was so encouraging and showed me how much I’ve learned and why I need to persevere. You also encouraged me to stop my busy work and read and meditate on the Word. ❤️ Also please try that pasta machine and tell us all about it, it sounds like a dream!
Pasta! Your eggs must been room temperature it’ll make for a much softer dough. But I use our kitchen aid mixer and the noodle press attachment to save time. But rolling it out then do a trifold before thinning the noodle out either by rolling pin or attachment.
Ephesians and pruning was the subject of mass last Sunday too. I honestly feel that I am in this season too. Also.. I am crying a lot lately too. I am so OVER it haha.
You look so pretty in your colorful dress! I Remember when you wore lots of neutrals. Thanks for the reminder to build our kids up with our words❤ I am so harsh on my intense first born sometimes
It's ok to give yourself a break. It's a lot to have young kids who need so much along with runnning a household. BTW if you want to make sour cream go for it but the brand I buy lists 'cultured cream' as the only ingredient .
u can make peanut butter cookies with 1 cup of pb, 1 egg and sugar to taste. I add in choc chips too. Make into balls and flatten with fork. Bake at 350 for about 10-12 min!!!!!!!
I can very much relate to this. I'm a work from home mom of three ranging in ages from 10 years to 5 months. Just today, I had leftover chicken I was going to save for baby food and today my husband took it for lunch (my fault for not telling him). I also just went to go clean out the chicken coop after getting the baby to bed and it started storming out. A lot of days it feels like I try so hard to get tasks done and I just don't get there, and I feel like a complete failure. Everything from laundry to my failed sourdough starter to my garden becoming overgrown with weeds and I just can't get in there to clean it out. I think we very often have very high expectations of ourselves and when we don't get there, we feel like failures. I just try to keep in mind that strength can grow from failure, and we don't learn without making mistakes. And sometimes it feels like everything is working against us, but life isn't about what was easy, it's about what we work to overcome. It also helps to remember the very most important thing in my life is my family and as long as they are well cared for, then I'm doing a good job (even if it means I have to buy a loaf of bread from the store instead of making my own). Wishing you the best!
Hey, Delilah! I learned how to make homemade pasta from our Italian exchange student many years ago, and for all this time I’ve been mixing the dough by hand as you did. However, I just made pasta the other day and used my Stan mixer to mix the dough, and it actually turned out great. I also tried using a pasta attachment for the Stan mixer, but I honestly did not like it as much as my manual hand-crank pasta roller. Hopefully this is helpful!
The pruning verse is John 15:2 ❤️ however Ephesians does talk about putting off your old self and putting on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. ❤️ Similar concepts!
Hi, I think it is so important to acknowledge you are not perfect and show it here. Indeed in a lot of your videos it seems like… 😊Specially when you do all of those things you do! Love your videos! ❤
Hi, could you do a video on how to use and look after a sour dough starter and then your process making some loaves etc? I’ve just got a sour dough starter from a friend but have no idea what I’m doing. And I’ve come to trust your word on everything… haha
Oh my gosh I totally get this. I've tried sourdough and kombucha several times and it never quite comes out good so I have given up. Also we have moved away from bread anyway for quite a while now because I'm gluten intolerant and we are going carnivore
Every now and then my bread comes out very mediocre, borderline bad. My husband always eats everything, and the kids sometimes complain. BUT, when the bread turns out good again, the kids are the ones to compliment it first!
When I see you in the kitchen with your kids you give me hope that I can do it 😍💕… ps .. try using the why from the cheese in bread it makes the bread so much yummy and give it extra protein😍👌
...we are all, hopefully, learning, all along the length of our life....................there is no finish line while we are still here on Earth..........
I believe you said Ephesians 15. The correct reference is John*15 Also I love you videos. You truly do make aesthetically beautiful content and I love relaxing and watching them. My recent failures have been yogurt and my sourdough. I used to make yogurt weekly and the last 3 have been flops. So I just haven’t made it in at least a month 🤦🏻♀️. My bread has been so overproofed too. Not sure what I’m doing there lol but I’ll get back to it!
I wish the most disappointing thing about myself was that I couldn't make bread or bagels from scratch correctly. Deliah! You are making from stratch!!! That a huge accomplish that you even take the time to do that! The true success is that you keep trying! Don't be so hard on yourself.
I'm not a mom at all. In fact, I'm in college, but I enjoy your longer videos. You have seemed a bit tense in these last couple videos, but I understand things are changing and very difficult. It's sweet that you are willing to be vulnerable. Remember to give yourself grace.
Coming from another mum of four, it's ok to choose easy sometimes. I know you obviously love making from scratch etc and good on you for that! But the weeks that are hard, buy the store bought yoghurt and bread! Having four children can be a lot and just surviving in this stage of life is totally normal. Don't beat yourself up for not being perfect. Serve some cereal for breaky, I can guarantee your children are not going to mind one bit! I hope this comes off helpful and not as criticism. You're doing great xx
This vlog was a balm for my soul. I’ve been following you for years and this is why. Thank you for sharing Jesus and encouraging other mamas. ❤️
Delilah, I’m 60 years old. I still get in ruts, have failures in the kitchen, and let the dust collect from time to time. You’re a human soul, give yourself grace sweet young woman.
Delilah, I am in metro Detroit. I am a Mom of 3 under 5. You have taught me a lot of things over 3 years. For instance, I copy paste your recipes to pack my freezers before having a baby. I can attest that I delivered a baby girl on December 18, 2023 and i am still eating from my freezer. Thank you! Also, I appreciate how you motivate me to do clean up and deep decluttering. This morning I was thinking about feeding my 4months old baby and I knew I can learn some baby foods recipes from you. I was right...now I am done making all the yummy baby recipes . Just when you feel discouraged remember that you are making a huge impact in a Mom across the Detroit River from Canada. Even if your content managed to impact me as one person that's a win.
Also, I appreciate that you do everything around your kids...and I felt validated that all my babies sleep with us. You are not a failure and you have God in your home. God bless you and your family.
Claire in metro Detroit Michigan ❤❤❤❤❤❤
My heart is always with Michigan, grew up there and miss it everyday
Oh, our second was Born on dec18 also!! But in 2022. ❤Sweeetest child. Babies are the best!! Enjoy❤
Delilah, you are the most encouraging woman I know, what you achieve in your weekly videos is amazing! Teaching your children, cooking from scratch, making bread, yoghurt etc from scratch .... you are amazing! Dont get down hearted, we are in awe of you xxx ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The scoop of peanut butter + chocolate chip upside down dip is the most relatable thing I’ve ever seen.
Hello friend
This video brought so much encouragement! Often times UA-cam only portrays successes and the positive side of the story. Its great to see candid life with successes and failures and frustrations. You are such an amazing example of what a great mother looks like and I appreciate you sharing all of this with us. I completely understand how you feel about clutter as well!
I dont know if you’re gonna read this….but I tried a LOT of sandwich loaf recipes and the ONLY ONE that worka for our family is your recipe!!!!!!!!!❤
Just echoing all the other comments of gratitude and appreciation on here. Can’t even fully put into words just how refreshing this video was. So I’ll just say thank you ❤️
You bring you and going on your journey is such an inspiration.
You making food from scratch is such an inspiration
Your videos are so grounding and calming.
Thank you and bless you 💕
I’ve been watching you since before I even planned on having kids. I have a little boy of my own now who will be 4 in October and you inspire me so so much.

It makes me feel like less of a failure when things don’t work out perfectly like I planned it in my mind. Thank you so much for being such a good example❤
I loved how real and encouraging this was! It might be my favorite video yet. I think the change in seasons really can test us at times.
These words came into my mind: your worth is not determined by how well you're able to do something. Your worth is not determined by how energetic or efficient you are. You are worthy, period. That you can do things is great, but don't think your worth depends on it.
Thank you ❤
This video was exactly what I needed!
I have been going through a lot lately as a first time mom and this made me feel so understood. Perseverance is so difficult in a culture and time when its all about instant satisfaction.
Life is not like that and it can get very difficult to start over and keep our head high day after day.
You are an incredible person and to everyone out there who needs to hear this, you are not alone in this struggle. Thank you Delilah!

Hi Delilah, I had some DIY failures recently and learned so much from it! The most important part was to put it in perspective, it's just paint. My family is healthy and happy.
The ebbs and flows of motherhood, thank you for remaining authentic. I felt this way a few days ago, beautiful reminder as mother's together in this ❤
ive never seen anyone washing their fruit with soap^^ Here in Germany, if i cant find an organic version I wash my fruits with baking soda. This helps to get rid of pesticides. I learned that after becoming a mom.
(I wash organic fruits with water alone)
I’m in the US and I’ve never seen or heard of anyone using anything but plain water to rinse fruit.
@@cakielovesyouu. I think u are mistaken.
Perhaps this season of life is meant to help you and your daughter. Her compassion is learned. You keep going momma. You are doing great!
About the pasta. You can use a food processor to make it without all of the elbow grease. Just make sure to rest it before you roll it.
Your videos really are the best, Delilah. Thank you for keeping it real and encouraging those in the thick of it. I see such a peace and love in you that can only come from walking close to Christ. Keep up the good work.

Oh this is so beautiful. My husband and I are in a pruning season as well. I can’t wait to bond with my daughter when she comes in June, hearing your testimony of your daughter’s heart is so sweet 💖 blessings to you!

All that you said is so beautiful. You are being a great mom for your children.
Those seasons of pruning are so hard and we can understand even greater why we need the Lord’s strength. Thank you for sharing the ups and downs because we all have them more than we would like to admit. ❤
I make my pasta in the Kenwood mixer (kitchen aid equivalent here in the UK) with the dough hook. Works well and saves my arms!

Ups and downs of homemaking... can relate! I'm so impressed that you've made homemade sour cream. I've wanted to try that!

Hello Grace
...the desire to be a good role model for your kids continues for a lifetime!!!!!
Thank you for the openness .. it truly helps me with not comparing
I appreciate you ❤
I recently went through this exact same failure in the kitchen stage! Thank you for sharing!
Please give yourself grace having a new baby with a full family and a household. Don't forget hormones and everything that goes along with that. You are such an encouragement and sharing your faith in Jesus is always so uplifting. Remember He has you in the palm of His hand. When I go through times like that it's usually when the Lord is doing something new. You are a blessing.
Hello Cheryl
Another mum here (in the UK) feeling super discouraged and like a failure too recently! Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏼
Wholewheat is more thirsty than regular flour and will give you a slightly denser product. Half and half is a good mix.
Hello friend
So sorry 😢you have been having such struggles. You are such a calming influence to watch. ❤
Hello Carolyn
This was so wholesome! Just the peace I needed today. Thank you Delilah
Thank you for such authentic content. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and learnt a lot from you ❤
YOU INSPIRE US SO MUCH!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ I’m 7 weeks with my first and hope to incorporate a lot of your methods ❤❤❤
Loved this vid and hearing things the Lord has been teaching you. So encouraging!
This really encouraged my heart! Your maturity in the Lord is refreshing
Hello
I’ve been feeling extremely stressed out and overwhelmed lately. This was uplifting and motivating to lay it all down at the feet of Jesus and allow Him to work in my heart to change my perception and attitude.
I have one of those pasta makers but have never used it. It’s on my list to start using.
A beautiful, raw, honest and vulnerable video. 🩷🌷
By far my favorite video you’ve ever posted! ♥️
We always use our kitchenaid for the pasta dough. Also, they have an additional attachment to make your pasta with the kitchenaid. We love it :)

noodles to the shape I want, like spaghetti or lasagna or other types of pasta...I use it also to make my egg noodles for my homemade chicken noodle or beef noodle soups
The best vlog ever! Thanks for all your movies. I'm Catholic mum of 3 girl's (4yo, 3yo, 1yo) in Poland. Icm thinking about homeschool, i love cooking, banking, make jogurt/cheeses and more my own. I think, that my hands have power only with My Lord.
I think you do a wonderful job in your kitchen and in your home. I enjoy what you share.
Hello Laura
This was so encouraging, I’m going through a similar time right now. I’ve been cooking less and buying more premade foods because I’ve been discouraged/tired. This was so encouraging and showed me how much I’ve learned and why I need to persevere. You also encouraged me to stop my busy work and read and meditate on the Word. ❤️
Also please try that pasta machine and tell us all about it, it sounds like a dream!
Pasta! Your eggs must been room temperature it’ll make for a much softer dough. But I use our kitchen aid mixer and the noodle press attachment to save time.
But rolling it out then do a trifold before thinning the noodle out either by rolling pin or attachment.
Ephesians and pruning was the subject of mass last Sunday too. I honestly feel that I am in this season too. Also.. I am crying a lot lately too. I am so OVER it haha.
You look so pretty in your colorful dress! I Remember when you wore lots of neutrals. Thanks for the reminder to build our kids up with our words❤ I am so harsh on my intense first born sometimes
Hello friend 😊
I really needed this video this week. I've been so mean to my kids with my words 😞
It's ok to give yourself a break. It's a lot to have young kids who need so much along with runnning a household. BTW if you want to make sour cream go for it but the brand I buy lists 'cultured cream' as the only ingredient .
u can make peanut butter cookies with 1 cup of pb, 1 egg and sugar to taste. I add in choc chips too. Make into balls and flatten with fork. Bake at 350 for about 10-12 min!!!!!!!
Hi Delilah, I was looking for Ephesians 15.. but it was actually John 15:2
Love your content.. ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing Delilah
Fantastic introspection as always
I can very much relate to this. I'm a work from home mom of three ranging in ages from 10 years to 5 months. Just today, I had leftover chicken I was going to save for baby food and today my husband took it for lunch (my fault for not telling him). I also just went to go clean out the chicken coop after getting the baby to bed and it started storming out. A lot of days it feels like I try so hard to get tasks done and I just don't get there, and I feel like a complete failure. Everything from laundry to my failed sourdough starter to my garden becoming overgrown with weeds and I just can't get in there to clean it out. I think we very often have very high expectations of ourselves and when we don't get there, we feel like failures. I just try to keep in mind that strength can grow from failure, and we don't learn without making mistakes. And sometimes it feels like everything is working against us, but life isn't about what was easy, it's about what we work to overcome. It also helps to remember the very most important thing in my life is my family and as long as they are well cared for, then I'm doing a good job (even if it means I have to buy a loaf of bread from the store instead of making my own). Wishing you the best!
Today was the day for me… nothing I cooked turned out well, although I’ve been making these recipes for years… wow
The joshua wisemen cookbook next to the magnolia table one speaks to me haha
Hey, Delilah! I learned how to make homemade pasta from our Italian exchange student many years ago, and for all this time I’ve been mixing the dough by hand as you did. However, I just made pasta the other day and used my Stan mixer to mix the dough, and it actually turned out great. I also tried using a pasta attachment for the Stan mixer, but I honestly did not like it as much as my manual hand-crank pasta roller. Hopefully this is helpful!
Hello friend
Try the pasta in your stand mixer, it's way easier!
The pruning verse is John 15:2 ❤️ however Ephesians does talk about putting off your old self and putting on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. ❤️ Similar concepts!
Thank you for sharing. You are such an inspiration.
Hello friend 😊
Hi, I think it is so important to acknowledge you are not perfect and show it here. Indeed in a lot of your videos it seems like… 😊Specially when you do all of those things you do!
Love your videos! ❤
Everything about this one was a balm to me. 😭 ill be watching this one often
OMG those bread loaves!!! They looked amazing and yummy!! Little wins 🙏🏼🎉🍞
Needed this!!! Same exact place!
This was really encouraging. Thank you
Hello friend 😊
Hi, could you do a video on how to use and look after a sour dough starter and then your process making some loaves etc? I’ve just got a sour dough starter from a friend but have no idea what I’m doing. And I’ve come to trust your word on everything… haha
Oh my gosh I totally get this. I've tried sourdough and kombucha several times and it never quite comes out good so I have given up. Also we have moved away from bread anyway for quite a while now because I'm gluten intolerant and we are going carnivore
Absolutely love this one ❤
Thanks for sharing this with us. This is so helpfull, wishing you all the best 🩷
Every now and then my bread comes out very mediocre, borderline bad. My husband always eats everything, and the kids sometimes complain. BUT, when the bread turns out good again, the kids are the ones to compliment it first!
I ended up throwing away my starter. I realized I spent more time being disappointed than pleased.
The length of the ingredient list doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad or good. By law they have to tell you everything that’s in a food.
When I see you in the kitchen with your kids you give me hope that I can do it 😍💕… ps .. try using the why from the cheese in bread it makes the bread so much yummy and give it extra protein😍👌
Your are very good mother❤
Thank you ❤️
...we are all, hopefully, learning, all along the length of our life....................there is no finish line while we are still here on Earth..........
I believe you said Ephesians 15. The correct reference is John*15
Also I love you videos. You truly do make aesthetically beautiful content and I love relaxing and watching them.
My recent failures have been yogurt and my sourdough. I used to make yogurt weekly and the last 3 have been flops. So I just haven’t made it in at least a month 🤦🏻♀️. My bread has been so overproofed too. Not sure what I’m doing there lol but I’ll get back to it!
