  • After an epic fail about a decade ago, Meg is trying her hand at making bagels again. And Ben is in the orchard spreading woodchips to get our permaculture food forest mulched.

    You know, it's just so wonderful that your children are able to spend their life with both their mom and dad. I think that's why bug is so precious. She knows she is loved and valued.

    "Good job Munchie, that was pretty good" Such a complimentary and confidence instilling young lady, even if she is only 2. She is letting her brother know she feels he did a darn good job driving that lawn mower! I love that! And love seeing Munchie helping his dad!

    I absolutely LOVE watching your videos for many reasons. 1st and foremost is how awesome it is to see how your family works together and ending the day at the table having a family meal starting with a prayer. I really think that’s what is missing in family’s these days. Working together and giving thanks to our Lord and Savior for all the blessings received. You guys are doing a great job and I love following you. Love and (((hugs))) from Utah.

    I had to go back and listen 3 times when Buggy said "Good job Munchie, that was pretty good."(and it really was BTW Corbin) It made me laugh so much. And Meg, you are so right about beet pickled eggs, they are delicious! And even before you said it, when Ben joked about people wondering why he kept you around, I was thinking of all the delicious food you make. Definitely not the only reason, but it must be up near the top of the list!

    So many things to love in this video. My first attempt at bagels came out fairly well, but they didn't last 24 hours as we gobbled them down. Cowboy Candy Pickled Eggs: wouldn't they make an amazing egg salad sandwich? Of course, you'd have to have some left after those jars get opened. My daughter tended my garden while I was out of town, and now when she stops by she checks the strawberry plants for those garden berries she's become addicted to. Little sister is always a joy, but your houseful of boys is becoming a houseful of men! Time flies when you're having fun.

    Let your bagels boil a little longer in the water to get a better rise. Careful about transferring them to boiling pot and baking tray so they do not deflate. Super job. So glad you did not give up and came back to giving it another try. I like the sourdough bagels, after the 24 hour ferment you go through the same process, they are just more digestible from the fermentation time. You are amazing Meg, and all your family as a team of worker bees.

    When I make pickled beets I put some hard boiled eggs in the jar too. We like to eat them when the white of the egg is colored. It is a summer tradition.

    The look on Megan’s face after Ben said her bagels were good, at her comment. Wow these are good like she doubted her self. Don’t doubt yourself, Meg I wish I could make bread, but I’m not a bread maker, and all my bread comes out flat.

    I just love your channel! The gardening, animal raising, and cooking are all superb , and to top it off, you have your hard-working, camera shy boys and little Sister! I predict she will be making videos of her own in a few years! ❤💕❤️💕❤️💕
