Pot roast is my absolutely favorite meal. I also use the crock pot. I mix together 1 envelope of onion soup mix, I can cream of chicken soup, some beef broth and a big dollop of ketchup and pour it over in the crock pot. I also put some carrots in the bottom of the pot before adding the roast. Let it cook for about 8 hours on low. The sauce is a terrific gravy for your potatoes. Yum!
I watched one video about being Amish and Mennonites in 21st century. They showed families in Holmes County, and I immediately remembered Lynette telling about this place. ❤️ Thank you, Lynette for showing your culture, food, lifestyle. Through your videos I learnt about your life a lot! And I should definitely make a stake in a slow cooker❤
Lol..I love the "seek and ye shall find".. I'll definitely be using that phrase😁 The cream cheese brownies are a great idea, haven't had those before. The chicken looks amazing! Well.. everything did😊 I've actually been to the Amish country in Ohio, we stayed in a cabin owned by an Amish family. They cooked and sent over all our meals.. outstanding! They even sent some noodles with one meal! We went on a deer hunting trip, and visited all the Amish shops in town while there, totally enjoyed it! We also have an Amish and a Mininite community right by us in Tennessee, there's a market one mile from our home.. best produce and homemade jams & jellies ever!!😋 Love their pepper jelly!! Thanks for sharing.. and now I'm starving🥴
Can you please tell me where the Amish and Mennonite stores and communities are in TN? I’m in North Georgia…..I miss the Amish stores from where I grew up in PA! 💕
@@ruthwarren8685 Hey.. they're aren't any stores here in Tennessee, just a produce market.. where they also have their homemade jellies & jams. Its A very tiny community. The store we went in were in the Ohio area. I'm sorry if that confused you! But if you ever come thru McMinn County, the little produce stand is worth visiting if you love good fresh veggies! (That's the Etowah, Englewood, Athens area)
@@ruthwarren8685 They have about every veggie you can think of during the Summer and fruits also.. its a very nice stand, not just a shack on side of the road😄
Nick looked / Looks fabulous, he has done so well especially when you live in a community where you tend to entertain and share meals within a group, I can't be easy,but nothing worth having is easy..simple fact eh...you all look wonderful and the children are sooooo lovely, growing up and all the clubs they attend, it's crazy and makes time go even quicker as you're busy busy.. Little Harper looks as if she has lost the quiver, that was so adorable. Take care all.
I had the same with chuck roast , I think it’s just the different cut/brand. Because same as you I am cooking it the way I always have. Love spotting all your Pampered Chef items, I am a consultant:)
Our Family roast recipe is my daughters Favorite meal. I like to get a Chuck Roast. We put down a bed of sliced onions and the roast which i season good and the secret to it being moist is that You can put a can or 2 of Cream Mushroom Soup. When the meat becomes tender we like to add Baby Carrots and chunks of potato and cook till tender. It has the best taste and is so tender.
Thank you. I’m in Lancaster county, Pa., so we have similar dinners. We have buttered noodles with practically every meal. Kids love them. Enjoy all your videos.
I use the farm dust seasoning all the time and love the Walnut Creek products. I get all mine from all the Amish stores in Versailles, Mo. they are the best products
Hey there, @lindabaker3655 I used to live in that area and also shopped at the Amish stores around there. Where I live now, I go to the one in Linn, Missouri. Good to catch up with you on here. 😊
Wondering if in that Missouri area the community is Mennonite rather than Amish? Jamesport and Seymour have lovely Amish communities, but I thought Weaver's in Versailles was Mennonite. Perhaps there are newer stores in the area In have missed?❤
Versailles, MO is a Mennonite Community. (Both Horse & Buggy Mennonite & ones with Cars) Weavers just closed. But they still have Dutch Country and Sunshine Foods and various other non-food stores. @@pamelar5868
Biblical Supper!!!! 🤣🤣 I love that so much lol.. As a traditional catholic I am going to start saying that... Sunday is our Biblical Supper... Seek and ye shall find!! hahaha.. God bless you all and thank you Lynette for sharing her awesome name.. 🤩😇
Love your videos and I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. Seeing the groceries from Walnut Creek brings back wonderful memories. You and I cook exactly the same! Love the Amish noodles. During the winter, that’s Friday dinner with grilled cheese sandwiches. With the beef tips, I’ll add onions, then use the grim for a gravy base and make red potato- garlic mashed potatoes. Awe… the troyer Bologna and Swiss sandwiches 😋!! Unless you’ve had world famous Troyer Bologna you have no idea how good it is!
We have Walnut Creek products at our Mennonite store nearby at Yoders Market. The clerk told me they get a lot of their products and supply a lot of Yoders yummy baked goods to the WC stores. I was excited to find it!
Weavers Farm Dust!! My favorite. We used to buy a few bottles at a time in Shipshewana when we lived there. Now i have to order it online. Still my fav seasoning. 😊
Everything looked so good. Always received new food ideas watching. Lov u mom’s biblical references. I try to cook something on Firday or Saturday I can just heat up after church on Sunday. Or cold finger food or sandwich and or cold salad or fruit in frig to just pulled out to make snack.
I recently discovered Detwiler’s and purchased several Walnut Creek Foods items. I’m so pleased with the quality of these items. I plan on being a regular customer.
I make my roasts in the crockpot also. I put cream of mushroom soup on the bottom , the roast, small potatoes and small carrots and then I top with dry onion soup mix. Makes the best gravy.
Make a Mississippi pot roast in the crock pot. Super easy and so good. Take a chuck roast and put it in the crock pot. Add one pack of au jus mix, one pack of brown gravy mix, half a stick of salted butter, one pack of ranch dressing mix and 3 or 4 pepperrocine peppers and do not stir. Cook on high 8 hours. I know I spelled the peppers wrong but you get it I hope. They are just yellow whole peppers in a jar you find in the pickle section of your store. I stir mine up after it's cooked. Make some mashed potatoes and English peas and dinner is done.
The searing of meat holds in the juices. Try sautéing your asparagus in a little bit of butter/ olive oil mixture, S & P then add in a little water cover for few minutes to cook to your liking. Now add in a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and reduce to a small amount of sauce. Adding in a little more butter to thicken sauce along with a squeeze of lemon juice. Place on platter and drizzle the lemon- butter sauce over the asparagus. This is great with pasta too. Have you tried making asparagus with Shrimp? So good. This dish can be eaten just as is or over rice. Fast and easy. 😊
Great job cleaning the hinges, they look brand new. Jalen did a nice job on the top of the cabinets and the island. I hope they do a light white backsplash. Lights are pretty. I do miss the dish rack, but a cup rack is ok. Krause sink is nice choice and faucet is nice(would have liked a brass or bronze choice, but I am not paying for it ;) It is very interesting watching the house transform. It is a beautiful piece of property. What a blessing for the young couple to have you help with the Labor and renovations! They are saving thousands and thousands of dollars.
sushi!!!! pioneer woman saved my roast, my crockpot even on low is just too hot. I follow her recipe EXCEPT only do it on 250 from like 10am and its fall apart deliciousness by dinner.
Yesterday a friend I grew up with in Western Pa. & i were talking about having what you call haystacks. I told her about seeing you make them on u tube.& we giggled about it as they seemed to us to be how our Moms used up leftovers.
So interesting about the chuck roast…same thing for me-too dry. I always sear so odd. That was twice in a row. I really think I didn’t cook them long enough. Glad yours worked this time. 😊
I’ve learned with crockpot roasts to use one packet of au jus with one cup water plus salt and pepper. Cook on high 4 hours and low for 2 hours more. Tender. Melts in your mouth every time.
We do our roasts the same way, sear all sides, put in the crock pot with beef broth, onions etc. I usually do mine on low, the key is to get it to temperature. I find 205° is perfect!
Love your foodie vlogs!! You make-a-me hangry😂. My Mac n cheese always siezes up, I think it's too much pasta in my case though. So many good things Lyn Thanks for sharing
Maybe I’ll use that seek and ye shall find next Sunday night😂I usually cook on Sunday night because we usually eat out Sunday noon😋Yummy video, I can almost taste those noodles. I don’t know how Nick can resist them😀
To warm up Mac n cheese, for leftovers, if you add milk or heavy cream, and mix it in, the "second day" Mac n cheese turns out creamy smooth! I also double or triple my Mac n cheese recipe, to put two aluminum pans of it, into the freezer, covering first with plastic wrap, and then place the aluminum lid on top, writing on the lid, how to bake it, removing the plastic first (I actually write: take plastic wrap off before baking). I try to thaw it overnight in the fridge, and I treat it like "second day" Mac n cheese, and put milk or cream in it, to loosen it, and make it creamy! The amount you made, I usually add a cup, or more of the milk/cream, and I mix it in thoroughly, and add more if needed! I love cooking extra to freeze, so I make a mess once, and either get three meals, with leftovers, or I can give it away, when I hear a family member is sick.
I use the following, First for roast and second for asparagus. I only use these items for the roast and asparagus. Both turn out great. McCormick’s Bag’n Season Pot Roast (This includes a seasoning pack) Ziplock Zip’n Steam I think this is for most vegetables, but I only use for asparagus. (No seasoning in this one)
The problem using your crockpot may be because the temperature of slow cookers has been raised by the government people who feel the need to do this. I kept wondering why my crockpot meals were so dry or overcooked. I found Ruthanne on Zimmerman Homestead answered the question about why newer crockpots cook too hot. I got a new Ninja Foodie and you can regulate the temps better.
Make sure you're putting a fat source with your roast. I do a stick of butter with all my seasonings. You need a fat, a salt, an acid and heat. I generally use pepperoncini pepper juice for the acid and some ranch and au jus for the salt.
Sunday night is a cereal supper. Honestly, I could eat cereal any time of the day or night. I never thought of frying trail bologna, I must try that next time I buy one. As for sushi, my family loves it, but I am not a fan. Your brownies with ice cream looked delicious. Kudos to NIc, I wish I had his willpower. Until next Tuesday, may your week be filled with God's abundant blessings.
I cook my roast on high in my crock pot, although I use more liquid in mine (it fully covers the roast), I use the extra liquid to make my gravy to go along with the roast.
Your home is so beautiful. It really shows well. The food looked delicious. Hats off to Nick for his weight loss. I think veggies and protein are a good meal plan . May try this.....
I've lived in Ohio for over 50 years and in northern West Virginia before that. I always thought trail bologna was something made to take out for a picnic or hiking. I've never realized there was a Trail, Ohio, even though I've been in that area many times and have relatives in the area. LOL Thanks for the information.
Thanks Lynette for the ideas! I’ve been married almost 56 years to my wonderful husband! But I get tired …these past few years…. thinking of what to make for supper! Lol! ❤️
More meals than not, we have seek and ye shall find. Lol It's just my husband and me anymore, so not much cooking happens around here. Everything looked so yummy! You're a wonderful cook. ❤
I love your cooking videos Lynn. Seek and you shall find.... I love it! I can hear your mom saying that. lol. I've been having the same trouble with beef and also pork. I've changed stores and tried different things but something just ain't right! I'm glad you shared that. The meals looked great. I'm gonna try doing steak your way. Ty Lynn for sharing. I love all your videos but cooking my favorite.
The first time we tried sushi was at Star Thai Sushi in Siesta Village. Ever since then we’ve been hooked! Detweilers sushi is also delicious. Love you cooking content!!
Yup. Cutting the carbs. Less than a tsp of sugar in the morning. 30 grams of protein for each meal(a little more for a man). My visceral fat (which is a leading factor in strokes and heart attacks) is way down. My lean muscle mass is up and body fat is down. I am seeing a Dr, however. I was not overweight by looking at me, but I went from 155 to 130 in the past year. I did this after my sister was diagnosed borderline diabetic. My mom was overweight and died in 2012 from congestive heart failure. All of my dad's family (7 brothers and 1 sister) have diabetes. It scared me when my sister was diagnosed borderline diabetic so my youngest daughter set up an appt for me with the same Dr. They did blood tests that normal doctors don't do and a body scan and turns out that i have a problem with my thyroid (as did my mom) and my visceral fat was off the charts along with some other funky numbers. I've been seeing this dr now for a year this march and I love the results, and I feel better. It wasn't about losing weight it was about getting healthy and being around to watch my 21 grandchildren grow up. My youngest daughter, who works out every day and eats healthy, also saw this Dr and had a blood workup and body scan. Turns out that she was borderline diabetic. She was fit and trim looking, but her lean muscle mass was low due to the hard cardio workouts. She has since altered her workouts and added the appropriate amount of protein in her diet, and her lean muscle mass has increased, and the bad fat has decreased. Goes to show that what you put in your mouth really affects your health. Now, if I fall off the wagon due to vacation or eating something I shouldn't be eating(aka more carbs), I can tell the next day as I get an intense headache.
Hi, that is awesome! Do you mind sharing the info about the doctor and the App? Sounds very interesting. I have diabetes in my family and would like to check out my numbers. Thabk you in advance!
@Sarah-mg6gn it is a local doctor and clinic. Anyone can do it themselves if they read the back of packaging. The important thing is that you must stay away from carbs and remember that if it doesn't walk, swim or fly - it will turn into a carb. Less than a tsp of sugar before breakfast. For women, eat 90 grams of protein per day. Fruits will turn to carbs blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries have less carbs. Most veggies are OK, but corn and peas are high. Stay away from breads, pastas, potatoes, and rice. Brownberry makes great low-carb bread. You must eat. Portion control is also a factor. The majority of America is fed huge portions. 30 grams of protein(meat) is the palm and thickness of your hand. And get the mindset that this is not a "diet"...it is a way of life. My sister, daughter, and I are seeing this doctor, and the health results are tremendous! My co-workers have mentioned how great I look and want the details so they can "diet" too. I tell them it's not a diet. Have them all the tips and details of what not to eat and they justify "I just had a half a cup of rice" or I'm down to only one mt dew but they are not changing the way their body looks(still overweight) and getting bigger and still on diabetes meds. Half of my workplace is diabetic but they don't change their eating. Therefore, they don't see results. They are not willing to give up the sugar, so they continue to grow more unhealthy. It's a lifestyle change. Not a diet. One of our friends, did they ozempic shots for weight loss. He lost a lot of weight. Went off the shoes per his doctor and gained everything back and more in less than a month. He didn't change his lifestyle. IT IS A LIFESTYLE CHANGE!
@Sarah-mg6gn but where I live, it is called The Medical Weightloss Clinic. If that helps. They specialize in what your blood tests say and a monthly body scan that tells them your visceral fat(cause of strokes, heart attacks, diabetes). Your percentage body fat and your lean muscle. It's amazing and encouraging to see the numbers go down on body fat and visceral fat and to see my numbers go up on lean muscle. Remember that more lean muscle is better than fat. The results are amazing and encouraging. I can also tell if I have been out somewhere where I have had to eat a meal at someone's house or restaurant and it was prepared with something that turns to carbs. I have a headache and feel sluggish, and my gut hurts for a couple of days after. Carbs affect the body in ways you can never imagine.
Just today we bought some Walnut Creek Cheese trail bologna and some cheese. We love WalnutCreek Cheese and have a sweet brother in Christ who is in management there. We take several mini overnight trips to BnB’s in that area and of course eat at the Dutchman. What a beautiful area. ❤️
Thanks so much! Your videos are very inspiring. It's good to get new ideas and to get inspiration when cooking and homemaking have gotten routine and a bit dull - you have so many great ideas. Thank you! Diana
Some nice tips here. Thanks for sharing them. When I trim my red meats, I use the fat like butter or bacon grease. I heat it then dispose of it. I then sear my meat. I sear all of my meats before putting in the crockpot. I too am finding that red meats are tough lately. They are chewy. I exercise my facial muscles more when chewing than speaking. LOL. My Costco meats have been the worse. I find it better to cook the meats in the crockpot initially on high then switch over to low to make the meat real tender. I was hoping that you'd provide a link for the marble brownies. It's nice to see Nick lose all of that weight. However, for brain health and no brain fog, he does need carbs. So, in place of bread, throw in low carb veggies with his steaks. I really enjoy your videos, your tips and family dynamics. I love how you involve your children in helping you out in the kitchen. It teaches them responsibility and skills. I wish you posted more, especially when canning or creating new recipes.
So glad to see a new video. I have missed you all. I hope You all had a wonderful Christmas holiday with family. I have been wanting to ask you... I watched a video from a guy talking about Mennonites and he used highlights from Cara's wedding in his video along with some highlights from the Graber's videos. I was hoping he didn't pirate them without your permission. Enjoy you all so much. You are in my Prayers. God bless Carlyn Bray
Have you tried a stick of butter on top of the roast in the slow cooker? I have good luck with that. Do everything you already did but add a stick of butter on top.
Biblical supper- seek and ye shall find haha!! Perfect, I’ll use that line once in awhile with my family
😁👍🏽
I wish I liked it,🤷🏼♀️it’s very healthy for you.
I laughed at this and absolutely love it !
Love this!
Too bad it doesn't work for people living in poverty 🥴
Pot roast is my absolutely favorite meal. I also use the crock pot.

I grew up in Wayne County Ohio. Left in the early 80’s, but remember fondly the Amish and Mennonite communities. I still love Troyers trail bologna.
Oh I love the saying for Sunday night meal!! We have leftovers or "should have wents" on Sunday evenings.😊
Thank you. I’m in Lancaster county, Pa., so we have similar dinners. We have buttered noodles with practically every meal. Kids love them. Enjoy all your videos.
Love the farm dust seasonings
Everything looks so good. Thanks for sharing your talents. Love to you and your family from Indiana!!! ❤️
Thanks for all the good recipe ideas!
We used to have breakfast suppers on Sunday nights.....pancakes or omelets & ham. Still do that on occasion. Love your channel and your family!
I use the farm dust seasoning all the time and love the Walnut Creek products. I get all mine from all the Amish stores in Versailles, Mo. they are the best products

Goodness, your kids are going to grow up remembering Mum’s beautiful cooking! 😊
pot roast......low and VERY slow is best.......mine is always super tender. Love your videos.

I cook my roast on high in my crock pot, although I use more liquid in mine (it fully covers the roast), I use the extra liquid to make my gravy to go along with the roast.
Harper eating sushi! That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing your week with us.❤ I’m always happy when a Lynette video is here to watch. 😊
Yes, I like sushi. Harper is so sweet. She liked it. All the meals look yummy. Nick is looking good. Way to go, Nick.
Sending you all blessings. ❤
Your home is so beautiful. It really shows well. The food looked delicious. Hats off to Nick for his weight loss. I think veggies and protein are a good meal plan . May try this.....
Hi Lynette, can you please post if possible your cream cheese brownie recipe , it looked so delicious. Thank you Carol from New Zealand.
I've lived in Ohio for over 50 years and in northern West Virginia before that. I always thought trail bologna was something made to take out for a picnic or hiking. I've never realized there was a Trail, Ohio, even though I've been in that area many times and have relatives in the area. LOL Thanks for the information.
Yummo, Lynette, I love sushi here in NZ. I often make it myself as it's pretty expensive to buy, even in the supermarket
Martin’s potato rolls!!!! They are so good. The only way I like a hot dog is grilled on a Martin’s potato roll with sauerkraut, ketchup, and mustard.
I would love the recipe to the oatmeal patties
With the roast. Cooking low and slow is best. It usually falls apart when I do this. If I try to cook it too fast it's tougher.
Thanks Lynette for the ideas! I’ve been married almost 56 years to my wonderful husband! But I get tired …these past few years…. thinking of what to make for supper! Lol! ❤️
Do you happen to have the brand or link to the lighted salt and pepper shakers you use?

Thank you.
Everyone looks really good thank you for sharing it.
Thanks so much for all the meal ideas!! I get in a rut, so this video really helped me! 💕💕💕💕
So much well made home food with a lots of love!❤❤❤
I just realized your last name and got to go to Pine craft area because of your videos. I throughly enjoyed that area! Great food and people!
Thanks for taking the time to film all of these different things! It's appreciated!
More meals than not, we have seek and ye shall find. Lol It's just my husband and me anymore, so not much cooking happens around here. Everything looked so yummy! You're a wonderful cook. ❤
I love your cooking videos Lynn.
Seek and you shall find.... I love it! I can hear your mom saying that. lol.
I've been having the same trouble with beef and also pork. I've changed stores and tried different things but something just ain't right! I'm glad you shared that. The meals looked great. I'm gonna try doing steak your way. Ty Lynn for sharing. I love all your videos but cooking my favorite.
I’m struggling with my menu this week. I’ll have to try some of yours. 😋
Enjoyed the meals, interested in the street corn casserole. I love sushi also.
Another good video. I liked that you mentioned Little Debbie. I drive tractor trailer for them.
In my Mennonite upbringing we had popcorn and homemade grape juice for suppers on Sunday nights
Yes!!!! I miss grape juice!
I totally agree that meat and vegetable quality at stores have changed for the worst. I use crock pot for most chicken or steak/beef recipes
Made me hungry seeing all your cooking looked delicious Lynette 🙂
Your meals looked delicious! You need to publish a cookbook! ❤
The first time we tried sushi was at Star Thai Sushi in Siesta Village. Ever since then we’ve been hooked! Detweilers sushi is also delicious. Love you cooking content!!
Try marinating the roast over night in a hood marinade. Then put it in the crockpot after Browning it. Sometimes it could just be the beef
Yup. Cutting the carbs. Less than a tsp of sugar in the morning. 30 grams of protein for each meal(a little more for a man). My visceral fat (which is a leading factor in strokes and heart attacks) is way down. My lean muscle mass is up and body fat is down. I am seeing a Dr, however. I was not overweight by looking at me, but I went from 155 to 130 in the past year. I did this after my sister was diagnosed borderline diabetic. My mom was overweight and died in 2012 from congestive heart failure. All of my dad's family (7 brothers and 1 sister) have diabetes. It scared me when my sister was diagnosed borderline diabetic so my youngest daughter set up an appt for me with the same Dr. They did blood tests that normal doctors don't do and a body scan and turns out that i have a problem with my thyroid (as did my mom) and my visceral fat was off the charts along with some other funky numbers. I've been seeing this dr now for a year this march and I love the results, and I feel better. It wasn't about losing weight it was about getting healthy and being around to watch my 21 grandchildren grow up. My youngest daughter, who works out every day and eats healthy, also saw this Dr and had a blood workup and body scan. Turns out that she was borderline diabetic. She was fit and trim looking, but her lean muscle mass was low due to the hard cardio workouts. She has since altered her workouts and added the appropriate amount of protein in her diet, and her lean muscle mass has increased, and the bad fat has decreased. Goes to show that what you put in your mouth really affects your health. Now, if I fall off the wagon due to vacation or eating something I shouldn't be eating(aka more carbs), I can tell the next day as I get an intense headache.
Hi, that is awesome! Do you mind sharing the info about the doctor and the App? Sounds very interesting. I have diabetes in my family and would like to check out my numbers. Thabk you in advance!
@Sarah-mg6gn it is a local doctor and clinic. Anyone can do it themselves if they read the back of packaging. The important thing is that you must stay away from carbs and remember that if it doesn't walk, swim or fly - it will turn into a carb. Less than a tsp of sugar before breakfast. For women, eat 90 grams of protein per day. Fruits will turn to carbs blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries have less carbs. Most veggies are OK, but corn and peas are high. Stay away from breads, pastas, potatoes, and rice. Brownberry makes great low-carb bread. You must eat. Portion control is also a factor. The majority of America is fed huge portions. 30 grams of protein(meat) is the palm and thickness of your hand. And get the mindset that this is not a "diet"...it is a way of life.
My sister, daughter, and I are seeing this doctor, and the health results are tremendous!
My co-workers have mentioned how great I look and want the details so they can "diet" too. I tell them it's not a diet. Have them all the tips and details of what not to eat and they justify "I just had a half a cup of rice" or I'm down to only one mt dew but they are not changing the way their body looks(still overweight) and getting bigger and still on diabetes meds. Half of my workplace is diabetic but they don't change their eating. Therefore, they don't see results. They are not willing to give up the sugar, so they continue to grow more unhealthy. It's a lifestyle change. Not a diet. One of our friends, did they ozempic shots for weight loss. He lost a lot of weight. Went off the shoes per his doctor and gained everything back and more in less than a month. He didn't change his lifestyle.
IT IS A LIFESTYLE CHANGE!
@Sarah-mg6gn but where I live, it is called The Medical Weightloss Clinic. If that helps. They specialize in what your blood tests say and a monthly body scan that tells them your visceral fat(cause of strokes, heart attacks, diabetes). Your percentage body fat and your lean muscle. It's amazing and encouraging to see the numbers go down on body fat and visceral fat and to see my numbers go up on lean muscle. Remember that more lean muscle is better than fat. The results are amazing and encouraging. I can also tell if I have been out somewhere where I have had to eat a meal at someone's house or restaurant and it was prepared with something that turns to carbs. I have a headache and feel sluggish, and my gut hurts for a couple of days after. Carbs affect the body in ways you can never imagine.
Just today we bought some Walnut Creek Cheese trail bologna and some cheese. We love WalnutCreek Cheese and have a sweet brother in Christ who is in management there. We take several mini overnight trips to BnB’s in that area and of course eat at the Dutchman. What a beautiful area. ❤️
Thanks so much! Your videos are very inspiring. It's good to get new ideas and to get inspiration when cooking and homemaking have gotten routine and a bit dull - you have so many great ideas. Thank you!
Diana
Some nice tips here. Thanks for sharing them. When I trim my red meats, I use the fat like butter or bacon grease. I heat it then dispose of it. I then sear my meat. I sear all of my meats before putting in the crockpot.
I too am finding that red meats are tough lately. They are chewy. I exercise my facial muscles more when chewing than speaking. LOL. My Costco meats have been the worse.
I find it better to cook the meats in the crockpot initially on high then switch over to low to make the meat real tender.
I was hoping that you'd provide a link for the marble brownies. It's nice to see Nick lose all of that weight. However, for brain health and no brain fog, he does need carbs. So, in place of bread, throw in low carb veggies with his steaks.
I really enjoy your videos, your tips and family dynamics. I love how you involve your children in helping you out in the kitchen. It teaches them responsibility and skills. I wish you posted more, especially when canning or creating new recipes.
Absolutely LOVE sushi!!❤ my husband and girls do too😊
I grew up having our main meal on Sundays in the afternoon after church. No real cooking in the evening. 😊
Growing up, Sundays night meal consisted of Must-Go. Nice way to eat all the left overs. lol❤️
So glad to see a new video. I have missed you all. I hope You all had a wonderful Christmas holiday with family.
I have been wanting to ask you... I watched a video from a guy talking about Mennonites and he used highlights from Cara's wedding in his video along with some highlights from the Graber's videos. I was hoping he didn't pirate them without your permission. Enjoy you all so much. You are in my Prayers. God bless Carlyn Bray
Seek and ye shall find" oh I need to remember that.All your meals looked wonderful.
Sushi is so yummy. I like mine with mango kombucha or a gingerale.
Can you tell what the Farm Dust seasoning is? Looks really interesting!!
Your home is gorgeous
Yummy 😋 everything looked delicious...I have struggled with dry roast too could be the meat itself...😊...take care
You have such a sweet family. God bless you.
Love this video. I do meal planning weekly & I have been in funk & needing new ideas 💡 😊 going to be trying some of these.
Have you tried a stick of butter on top of the roast in the slow cooker? I have good luck with that. Do everything you already did but add a stick of butter on top.
Yes! I do that a lot ..
