I heard that as well. They could put it's feet up to help it relax. My mom made yeast bread from scratch. She always let the dough "rise" twice before she baked it. She was born in 1929 and spent much of her childhood in rural New Mexico. Some of the things Ariel and Eric do on their land remind me of the stories from my mother's childhood on their 80 acre farm. Love your videos.
Ariel is the queen of breads and doughs. They are very particular to get right and she does it all by feel. This is such an underrated skill to have. Just amazing ❤
Julia Child, Rachel Ray, Gordon Ramsey, Jacques Pepin, Emeril Lagasse, …..simple living Alaska has them all beat because the wilds of Alaska are their super market. You guys really walk the walk in your own unique way. Best wishes for continued UA-cam success.
Arielle, you are by far one of the "best" bakers I have ever watched. And the fact that you dont measure just proves that. You definitely disprove all the experts that insist you have to measure when you bake. Terrific looking food! I'm hungry!!😁
I was literally thinking, "I wonder what they used to make their table higher", when Eric said, "Do you think anyone's going to notice that our table's a lot higher?" LOL! Fantastic recipes you guys!
Watching our "Alaskan Foodies" relax and create in their fancy (running water) kitchen is a joy!❤ it is so nice to see you enjoying your home and not under pressure to get something done. Much love and happiness!🐶🐶
Yeah, lingonberries saved us from the scurvy through long and harsh winter in older days. Contains g a lot of vitamin C and other goodies. Also shelf stable thanks to the benzoic acid. I usually pick 60 pounds every autumn making jam, juice, pur the in food, bread and pastry. Thank you Mother Nature!
You two are so talented in every aspect of your lives. Building, hunting, fishing, gardening, raising animals, cooking amazing meals and so much more. I’m never bored watching your adventures. I would love to have you do a Q&A about your families and how many siblings, where you grew up, education, have you always been drawn to the outdoors and homesteading, when and how did you two meet, did you have similar interests when you first met, was your decision to move to Alaska suddenly or did you ponder the idea for years. Does your family ever visit you? Do you miss friends?
You guys did such a great job harvesting and storing that now, in the heart of a -30 degree winter, you can eat like you are having food delivered from Fred Meyer! Enjoy the feeling of warmth, a full stomach and contentment. You earned it! Thanks for letting us watch guys. Cheers.
Growing up my mom made 'fried pies.' She cooked dried peaches in enough water to rehydrate them and added sugar. She made pie dough and cut out circles and filled with the peaches. Fried in a cast iron skillet we ate them as fast as she could make them. Years later when she traveled to visit all of us, the only thing she was asked to do was make fried pies.
If I ever have trouble sleeping, I just watch your videos...not because they're boring, but because yall make me exhausted just watching you❤ I usually stay up all night binging every video you have😅
That carnivore grinder is such a great value. More capable than most of us need, at a great price point. I've had one for 6 years and I fly through deer, elk and bison.
This was your BEST cooking show ever! Ariel your breads were lovely. Eric's trick slicing the top of the meatloaf to keep the glaze in and the chunk of cheese inside the meatballs. Brilliant. Mouth watering closeups too. Moose NIghts - In the Kitchen with Ariel and Eric. You two are really fabulous cooks. Thanks for another wonderful video. xo Suzi
The glaze for the meatloaf looked amazing. The cheesy meatballs looked mouth-watering in those homemade buns. You needed some kind of Dijon mustard dip for the hot pockets with horseradish. Recipe: French Bread Pizza. Ground meat/ground sausage, chopped onion, sweet peppers, cayenne flakes, pizza sauce. Mozzarella cheese (and parmesan cheese) Cook meat to really brown, add veggies, then sauce, when thick, ladle out on grilled or baked French bread halves, add lots of mozzarella and bake till cheese is browned.
My mother used to make salmon loaf with tinned salmon and bread served with a sauce of mustard and mayo mixed together. That’s the only fish loaf I’ve had
Aerial, your hair was adorable in the meatloaf segment! I love watching you cook and prep food, gives me great ideas and always makes me jealous of the moose meat!
All those meals looked delicious. I think the empanadas would be excellent to pack for one of your hunting/fishing trips....fry them up at home, wrap in foil, reheat on the coals of a fire in a rental cabin somewhere. Also, the meatballs or meatloaf cooked at home could make great sandwiches on a trip, whether cold or reheated.
Hello, Alaskan besties!!! I’ve had moose one time, in a burger, and it was the tastiest game meat I’ve had. We get deer, regularly, but harvesting a moose, which I’ve seen y’all do twice, is on a whole other level! Love the kitchen adventures. ❤ Probably because it’s more relatable than the extreme cold. 😅😂
I've never had the pleasure of getting to sample some moose meat but I have had a little elk meat. If moose is anything like elk it's going to be good. BTW the elk didn't have any gamey taste to it but that's also true of all the whitetail deer I've eaten over the past 55 yrs.
I really like the taste of a good buffalo burger! I went to visit my son in Colorado, and went to a restaurant, where I had my first buffalo burger. Sadly, the next time we went, the restaurant closed down, due to covid restrictions, it couldn't make ends meet. So, I did the next best thing, and purchased buffalo burger at the grocery store, mixed it with venison we took out with us (buffalo is so dry, it will fall apart if you don't add fat and moisture), and we grilled some delicious burgers!
Hello from Frederikssund Denmark Regardless of whether you are in the kitchen, on your property or in the wild and most beautiful nature, I love to accompany you. When I eat wild meat, I use bacon in the meat or around the meat, they give a good taste and a fantastic result. Thanks for the great videos and take care of each other.🙂❤
You two are living the dream. Long time watcher. Love the after party when you keep the camera rolling and you just continue conversing with each other. ❤
It doesn't matter how long the videos are, I wish they were longer lol. Can you do a video on things that you miss that you can't make or buy where you are. Doesn't just have to be food. I'm just curious. Love you two.
I expect that you all have seen a 45 gallon barrel, well, that is the size that I would be if I lived with you two!!!! What beautiful cooks!!! Love that moose meat!! Keep those video's coming, always looking forward to them. Tks.
Yes Eric, there is a fish loaf. I use canned salmon, add in finely diced onions, bread crumbs (panko), eggs, lemon juice and peel, salt, white pepper, thyme, Old Bay seasoning (opt), and my secret ingredient, mayonnaise. Mix well. You want the mixture to hold its shape. I really don't use precise measurements, this is an eyeball and feel recipe. Bake to 165 degrees, most of the time I'll make a tart lemon sauce, or just lemon juice if I'm feeling lazy. It freezes great. You could probably try any canned fish. I tried tuna, didn't like it. ❤❤ To all. Lori from Oregon.
Everything looks so delicious, I love how you can whip up sub rolls, bread, rolls etc it’s amazing without measuring you always have a winner come out of the oven. The moose roast was beautifully done. I am always very impressed by how well y’all eat for living on the grid. Please continue sharing your lifestyle with us the two of you are amazing to say the least. Love ❤y’all! See you next week!
This was a less stress video for me. lol...Watching the 2 of you ice fishing, snowmobiling, and freezing can be tough at times. I looked for you earlier, and there was no video...wella! Here you are! Thanks for bringing some adventure and happiness into my life through your shared life in Alaska. Blessings from Michigan!
I agree about the stress, I worry also, but I have to remind myself that the video has already been sent to us, so obviously they made it back safely, and they continue to thrive, bless them .
I love your winter cooking videos! They are some of my favorite videos! I love the variety of things you two come up with. We eat a lot of elk here in Wyoming, it's my favorite so lean and versatile!! Love Eric's shirt too! One of the highlights of our week is your videos. Have you considered doing a cabin update video? How is everything working inside the cabin? What do you like and dislike about it? What are you doing with all your extra room? What is different about the area you live in now? More wildlife or less wildlife? How is the winter different? How is it not having a huge store of your home canned food? Have you had sticker shock at what food costs?
Glad to see that that late night adventure getting Bullwinkle on the trailer paid off with yummy grubbin' moose food. Love your channel and the great cooking tips! Cheers!
I love all of your videos and have been a subscriber since you moved to Alaska. I've always noticed Arielle baking with her wedding rings on but noticed they're now missing. Hope the beautiful diamond rings aren't lost. Yes Eric, your table is higher.
My goodness the way you both can cook, man oh man. You both have knife skills to die for, no pun intended. That meatloaf and potato plate looked like something you would order in a fancy restaurant. All the recipes well done. You don’t have to worry about going hungry. Look so forward to your videos. Please don’t ever stop. Greetings from the lower 48.
I grew up where we raised our food be it a garden our pigs' beef and chickens or hunted for deer fishing for trout or salmon. We canned everything and anything, we picked berries, wild rhubarb, wild fiddleheads. wild onions wild horseradish etc. In essence we didn't know what a grocery store was. Very few people can live like that today and wouldn't know how. I am glad that I am watching this at 11:30 in the evening or I would be raiding my refrigerator to cook some of these treats. LOL. Great video.
It's refreshing to see a modern couple cooking tasty meals without using a digital air fryer or an induction cooktop. Thanks for posting another update on your Alaska experience.
Bandit's ready! Pepper's like: Mi poopz in dee dark. Make you some pasties (Pass-teez). Pie crust filled with left over roasted meat, roasted taters, peas/carrots. Make 'em up just like the empanadas, but bake 'em. Have some brown gravy to go over the top. WONDERFUL! Would make for good hunting/fishing finger food meals. They are a mining community tradition for the miners to take for their lunches. Good lookin' meals right there.
If you lived next door, I might even get up enough courage to try moose meat! Especially the spicy meatballs.😉 what a delightful gathering. Thanks for coming to visit… Happy Valentine’s Day to you both Eric & Arielle! 💞❤️💞 If you liked the olive taste maybe an Olive Tapenade would be good as a dipping accompaniment!
Just a note for your bread, you can easily top with herbs you like after you do your egg wash. Or get really crazy and add while making your bread. 👍 For a dip for your empanadas maybe a sriracha mayonnaise ?? Have a great week guys !!!
A few years ago I walked into a small meat market about 25 miles from here that someone had highly recommended. One of the things that I asked for was two pounds of meat loaf, to which the lady behind the meat counter said, "Honey, I have kielbasa loaf and I have ham loaf, but I've never in my life ever heard of just plain meat loaf". This was a neighborhood market in the town of Shamokin in the Pennsylvania "coal region". One of these days I'll have to drive back over to that market and ask for two pounds of moose meatloaf; they'll probably show me the door!! Stay warm up there. Yesterday it was sunny and it hit 62 degrees F here in northestern PA. No snow, no ice on the ponds, it's really an odd winter down here this year. Love you guys and your videos.
Yippee! I was hoping you guys would put up a video today. Really enjoyed watching your delicious moose meals as I ate my salad. 🥴 The empanadas reminded me of Cornish pasties - which are similarly shaped and usually contain beef, potatoes, onions and rutabaga. Your bread/dough making knowledge is very impressive.
On a family trip to Newfoundland when our kids were young, now in their 40s and 30s, we had moose burgers at a barbeque. Man, those burgers were delicious. Thanks for sharing your recipes with us. I'm making Italian meatballs today with grass fed beef, bison and pork sausage. Yum!
Good evening from New York. I was waiting for your video all day today and you posted it when we went to have dinner.😊 I’m so happy to watch it tonight. I love to watch everything you post. 👍I feel like ( after all these years I follow you) you are the best couple on the UA-cam! I watch every your videos many times and every time I find something new in it! I’m much older than you guys but I find it so interesting and informative. I wish you the best of the best and please keep posting! 💕I love Alaska through your videos! ❤️Hope you have a great weekend! ❤
You guys make such yummy meals! 😋🤤 You probably won't see this message, but wild Buffalo meat in Australia (introduced feral species) looks lean and delicious like moose meat. I like to use Kangaroo mince (very similar to Buffalo but native and a little bit gamey in flavour) and chicken mince together for my meatloaf too. Another trick for your meatloaf is to soften onion, celery and carrot in a pan in butter and olive oil, then add it to your mince mix. Makes it taste so sweet and savoury and delicious! 🤤😋
Hi I am sosososo very happy you are back again I really love your show you really do a great job I will always praying 🙏 for you and your husband ok and please be careful out there ok can you do more new show for all of us please thank you sosososo much we will be waiting for you ok you have a wonderful day and have a good night and day ok love Lorilee xoxoxoxox 😊😊😊😊😊
SUGGESTION: My grandmother used to make fried apple pies at the holidays. And everyone would have to have some. Her secret was to fry them in bacon grease. Her filling was out of this world. Sweet, salty and bacon. Can't get any better than that. I am the only grandchild who makes the fried apple pies for the holidays out 25 grandchildren. Try it some time. Loved watching you cook your meals. You two cook the heartiest meals and I love it. Take care! Cheers!
I love to watch ALL your videos. But ones with food 😍😍😍 thank you both for bringing Alaska into my home in the UK. Never tried Moose 🫎 but always looks great when you cook it.
Catfish stuffed cheese balls battered and fryed (deep) splashed with balsa virger salt and pepper. Here's the trick, you have to cut fish into good size cubes the make slice into the center leaving 3 sides uncut, insert small cheese ball. These are more like nugget or medium size meat ball. They're good as a meal, finger dipping and my favorite is pasta cream sauce with the catfish cheese balls
That was super interesting guy’s. I think a nice cheese ham and onion as a filling for the last recipe. And tinned peaches, for the sweet. It all looked great. I love the way Ariel can just easily make bread and pastry, with confidence. Well done guy’s.👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥
Aioli Dip: 1 cup of Mayo (homemade always the best), 1 cup of adobo peppers and associated juice/sauce (more the spicier and better, personal opinion), 1-2 limes (juiced)! Bam! there's your sauce Ariel!!
But I will still watch.... I really like Moose meat and I really like all of your recipes !!! They are soooo yummy looking !!! So I will watch, drool , then raid the fridge !!! 😄
Cabbage, onions, lots of roasted garlic, salt and black pepper and your choice of meat. Also known as Beerox. Soooo delicious! I bet they would be amazing with Moose
I always enjoy ur content (Coop Fan here!)...I can't take my eyes off that kitchen!!! The wood grain cabinets with the contrasting hardware , the backsplash/ stainless steel/black stove...damn good eye candy there!!!
My aunt (a notoriously horrible cook) used to make salmon loaf. It was atrocious, but to make it even worse, she made a cream sauce with minced hard boiled eggs. The "side" dish was a lime jello salad with bits of chopped celery, carrots and canned peas floating around in it.
One hell of a yummy video! I'm glad your such good cooks cause it is a delight watching you guys work together and enjoy good food. As always give the dogs a pat from me and Pepper a scratch under the chin. I love watching you guys and am thankful as always that you let us into your lives a little bit. Thank you for another great video!!
Hello, what I love about empanada is with egg and cheese with a ground meat on it. Just a simple seasoning to taste the ingredients, cheese will give it more flavor, If you got hot sauce, after it was cooked you inject that hot sauce inside. Its superb yummy. I ate it after the hot sauce was put inside
Greetings from Michigan to you hardy folks in the Great White North. Your creative meals always look so delicious and I say to myself "I would eat that..." There are many cold weather meals using red meat that we enjoy in the midwest, but an old favorite is one I learned from my mother. She would make sloppy joe sandwiches making her own version of sauce; not the canned stuff commonly found in stores. Easy to do: brown ground meat with diced onion until no longer pink. In the same pan, start with a base of tomato ketchup or plain tomato sauce. Add brown sugar, yellow mustard, vinegar and worcestershire sauce. Adjust the ingredient quantities until you have a sweet/sour or BBQ sauce style flavor and there is enough sauce to make the mixture 'sloppy'. Simmer on low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is cohesive, around 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sloppy Joes are usually served on a soft hamburger style bun with potato chips on the side.
Who is almost always top of my subscription list? You guys are!!!! A very Merry Christmas and wishing you both a new year filled with blessing after blessing!! Love you guys!!
What a salivating episode. All looks marvelous and from start to finish homemade from scratch. The last recipe looked very much like our Cornish pasties. Different ingredients but they were originally adopted for the tin miners and farmers in the 17th/18th century so that working with unclean hands meant they could hold the pasty and eat around the filling. They are still a favourite today
I don't know where Pepper was at the end, but I loved it. I also liked Eric's question of if the dough needed to sit on the couch. I thought that was really funny. You two work wonderfully together. In some ways, my husband and I would have been much happier living this lifestyle than the one we did. Sadly, I am 58, and my dh (61) isn't due home permanently from KZ until June 2025. I am sure that trying to start over in the wilderness would not suit us at our age. When we first married in 1988, we talked about walking the Appalachian trail and sleeping in the back of our Colony Park Station wagon. That never happened. Instead, we became high school (me) and community college (him) English teachers in rural Central Utah.
You two have become so very resourceful your gardening your canning your game recipes your abilities know no bounds even your outdoor building is close to professional ,just amazing.
I do something similar all the time. For filling I fry a couple of fistfulls of kale, a finely sliced onion and some garlic until the kale shrinks down. Then I fry off ground moose in some sesame oil. Mix the kale and moose with a cup of boiled rice, salt, pepper and a little hotsauce ex Tabasco. For Dipping-sauce: 1.5 cups of black olives, 2 cloves of garlic, 3/4 cup olive oil and splash of fish-sauce in the blender.
Make Jamaican beef Pattie’s but with moose meat! The key to the filling is to blend up really fine bread crumbs with the meat mixture, a bit of broth to make it more of a runny meat paste. The crust is basically the empanada crust but I add some tumeric and curry powder. Absolutely delicious!
Cold meatloaf with ketchup sandwiches are amazing.you guys need to write a cookbook! I'd buy it. Might not be able to find Moose meat where I am. But I'd try! Or add a recipe per month to your calendar.
Wow! Thanks for an inspiring video. Definately mouth watering food. Here is my favourite Norwegian moose casserolle: Moose casserole 1 kg elk, moose or other meat Butter or lard for frying 15 crushed juniper berries 1 tablespoon dried thyme 5 dl water 3 carrots 1⁄2 celery root (optional) 1/2 onion or leek (opitonal) 6 mushrooms (optional, but really good) 3 dl half’n half, whole-fat milk/cream Wheat flour to thicken the sauce 1 cup sour cream 1⁄2 tbsp lingonberry jam or an other tart jelly/jam. 1.5 teaspoons of salt Coarsely ground pepper to taste. Cut the meat in pieces, 2x4 cm and fry it in butter/lard on high temperature to give it a brown, crisp surface. Peel and chop the vegetables into small pieces. Put the meat and veg. into a pan, with everything except the flour, cream, sour cream and lingonberry jam. Cook everything until the meat is tender, ca 1,5-2 hours. Thicken the sauce with some flour mixed with some of the milk. Add the rest of the milk, cream and sour cream and jam. Serve with potatoes, rice, mashed potatoes or what ever you prefer.
Eric" to get it to relax, do you put it on the couch"😁? Ariel" no, just let it chill", omg, i died. 😂🤣🤣🇨🇦
I thought thats what I heard.
I heard that as well. They could put it's feet up to help it relax. My mom made yeast bread from scratch. She always let the dough "rise" twice before she baked it. She was born in 1929 and spent much of her childhood in rural New Mexico. Some of the things Ariel and Eric do on their land remind me of the stories from my mother's childhood on their 80 acre farm. Love your videos.
As always you left me drooling 🤤
Priceless! 😉
Best part was the dog!!!! 17:17. 😂
I laughed so hard when Eric asked, "How do you let the dough rest, lay it on the couch?" And Ariel said, deadpan serious, "You let it chill"
Ariel is the queen of breads and doughs. They are very particular to get right and she does it all by feel. This is such an underrated skill to have. Just amazing ❤
I was thinking the same thing. She doesn't cook much. but she can bake.
Every meal is the best meal ever for Eric, a true food enthusiast!
Love that he mentioned that in the first item they cooked...that he already knew it was going to be the best meal ever 😂😂
I love that he says that. The are both so cute.
I like that Eric isn't fussy/complainy about food, that he really enjoys it and appreciates it! I wish more people were like that!
Julia Child, Rachel Ray, Gordon Ramsey, Jacques Pepin, Emeril Lagasse, …..simple living Alaska has them all beat because the wilds of Alaska are their super market. You guys really walk the walk in your own unique way. Best wishes for continued UA-cam success.

I absolutely agree with you! I'm super tempted to try some bread now! Thank you Arielle and Tammy!
I was literally thinking, "I wonder what they used to make their table higher", when Eric said, "Do you think anyone's going to notice that our table's a lot higher?" LOL! Fantastic recipes you guys!
I came to the comments to see if anyone had mentioned it! 😊
Watching our "Alaskan Foodies" relax and create in their fancy (running water) kitchen is a joy!❤ it is so nice to see you enjoying your home and not under pressure to get something done. Much love and happiness!🐶🐶
Last weeks 41 below zero fishing adventure was pushing human limits. It’s great to see you indoors enjoying great food all warm and cozy.
When one reaches that point of not measuring in the kitchen is a blessing indeed🪶
Lovely moments guys~ thanks for sharing!😊
Give Bo and Bandit a hug from me. All the meals looked yummy.
And Pepper
@@tinglelingaling6 Yes, I forgot Pepper. 👍
Every meal is Eric’s “Best meal he ever had” Cracks me up! 🙂
Lingonberries are a Scandinavian staple. The meatloaf with lingonberries looked especially delicious!
Yeah, lingonberries saved us from the scurvy through long and harsh winter in older days. Contains g a lot of vitamin C and other goodies. Also shelf stable thanks to the benzoic acid. I usually pick 60 pounds every autumn making jam, juice, pur the in food, bread and pastry. Thank you Mother Nature!
You two are so talented in every aspect of your lives. Building, hunting, fishing, gardening, raising animals, cooking amazing meals and so much more. I’m never bored watching your adventures.
I would love to have you do a Q&A about your families and how many siblings, where you grew up, education, have you always been drawn to the outdoors and homesteading, when and how did you two meet, did you have similar interests when you first met, was your decision to move to Alaska suddenly or did you ponder the idea for years. Does your family ever visit you? Do you miss friends?

I was going to mention the same thing! My mom made them with dried apples and apricots! So good!!!
Fresh baked bread and cheese stuffed meat balls, knocked me out of my chair and made me run to the kitchen, you folks rock. Salute from Florida. 😋
I have never tried putting cheese in my meat balls. It is on my list the next time I make them. YUM
If I ever have trouble sleeping, I just watch your videos...not because they're boring, but because yall make me exhausted just watching you❤ I usually stay up all night binging every video you have😅
Look how far your program has flourished , I’ve enjoyed you guys since you began . I thank you , your hard work is appreciated . 😊

I'm the same. I wrap my meatloaf in bacon. We enjoy wild venison.
In liu of bacon, add liquid smoke.
You two are living the dream. Long time watcher. Love the after party when you keep the camera rolling and you just continue conversing with each other.

It's been great watching you cooking and baking in your videos
have a great week Thank You.🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲
Love the care you put in to your cooking as a couple.
Lovely dinner options! I'm really impressed with the dough work 😊
I love your cooking videos most. You should have a cooking show.
Great job with the bread ! You two have such a wonderful dynamic, love it.

I have felt some stress too, but I always tell myself that they survived because they posted the video! LOL
viola, there's the video we were waiting for
True, but until I get to the end I sometimes sit on the edge of my seat. lol@@lifgrenj
Good film making makes you feel things
that's amazing! never seen lingon berry, brown sugar, and sweet brown mustard, wow!
hello from the West coast of Scotland! Love your videos thanks for all you do and carry on.
I love your winter cooking videos! They are some of my favorite videos! I love the variety of things you two come up with. We eat a lot of elk here in Wyoming, it's my favorite so lean and versatile!! Love Eric's shirt too! One of the highlights of our week is your videos. Have you considered doing a cabin update video? How is everything working inside the cabin? What do you like and dislike about it? What are you doing with all your extra room? What is different about the area you live in now? More wildlife or less wildlife? How is the winter different? How is it not having a huge store of your home canned food? Have you had sticker shock at what food costs?
Great idea!
I'd be interested, too 👍! Been thinking about the same questions 🤔.......
❤❤❤ Wonderful bread 🥖 and gourmet meatballs. Look delicious 😋
Anybody else drooling?
Glad to see that that late night adventure getting Bullwinkle on the trailer paid off with yummy grubbin' moose food. Love your channel and the great cooking tips! Cheers!
I love all of your videos and have been a subscriber since you moved to Alaska. I've always noticed Arielle baking with her wedding rings on but noticed they're now missing. Hope the beautiful diamond rings aren't lost. Yes Eric, your table is higher.
First thing I noticed was that you raised your table. Looks more comfortable. Everything looked delish
My goodness the way you both can cook, man oh man. You both have knife skills to die for, no pun intended. That meatloaf and potato plate looked like something you would order in a fancy restaurant. All the recipes well done. You don’t have to worry about going hungry. Look so forward to your videos. Please don’t ever stop. Greetings from the lower 48.
Watching from London 🇬🇧Thank you for all you do love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing this recipe. 💕
I grew up where we raised our food be it a garden our pigs' beef and chickens or hunted for deer fishing for trout or salmon. We canned everything and anything, we picked berries, wild rhubarb, wild fiddleheads. wild onions wild horseradish etc. In essence we didn't know what a grocery store was. Very few people can live like that today and wouldn't know how. I am glad that I am watching this at 11:30 in the evening or I would be raiding my refrigerator to cook some of these treats. LOL. Great video.
Leftover meatloaf makes the BEST grilled cheese meatloaf sandwiches.❤ slice thin
To quote the distinguished Ron Swanson, I am intrigued, please enlighten me? 🤔
@@TheKlokan44 on how to many a Meatloaf grilled cheese sandwich?
It's refreshing to see a modern couple cooking tasty meals without using a digital air fryer or an induction cooktop.
Thanks for posting another update on your Alaska experience.
nice to see people enjoying a meal that they prepared and didn't but it at a store
Bandit's ready! Pepper's like: Mi poopz in dee dark.
Make you some pasties (Pass-teez). Pie crust filled with left over roasted meat, roasted taters, peas/carrots. Make 'em up just like the empanadas, but bake 'em. Have some brown gravy to go over the top. WONDERFUL! Would make for good hunting/fishing finger food meals. They are a mining community tradition for the miners to take for their lunches.
Good lookin' meals right there.
If you lived next door, I might even get up enough courage to try moose meat! Especially the spicy meatballs.😉 what a delightful gathering. Thanks for coming to visit… Happy Valentine’s Day to you both Eric & Arielle! 💞❤️💞 If you liked the olive taste maybe an Olive Tapenade would be good as a dipping accompaniment!
Just a note for your bread, you can easily top with herbs you like after you do your egg wash. Or get really crazy and add while making your bread. 👍 For a dip for your empanadas maybe a sriracha mayonnaise ?? Have a great week guys !!!
A few years ago I walked into a small meat market about 25 miles from here that someone had highly recommended. One of the things that I asked for was two pounds of meat loaf, to which the lady behind the meat counter said, "Honey, I have kielbasa loaf and I have ham loaf, but I've never in my life ever heard of just plain meat loaf". This was a neighborhood market in the town of Shamokin in the Pennsylvania "coal region". One of these days I'll have to drive back over to that market and ask for two pounds of moose meatloaf; they'll probably show me the door!! Stay warm up there. Yesterday it was sunny and it hit 62 degrees F here in northestern PA. No snow, no ice on the ponds, it's really an odd winter down here this year. Love you guys and your videos.
Yippee! I was hoping you guys would put up a video today. Really enjoyed watching your delicious moose meals as I ate my salad. 🥴
The empanadas reminded me of Cornish pasties - which are similarly shaped and usually contain beef, potatoes, onions and rutabaga.
Your bread/dough making knowledge is very impressive.
Torture! Just one unique, fabulous, outstanding meal after another. Such a great and enjoyable video you two. Have mercy.
Guess you got the generators going? Impressive fishing trip!! Was happy you had both done so well. FISH ON!!
On a family trip to Newfoundland when our kids were young, now in their 40s and 30s, we had moose burgers at a barbeque. Man, those burgers were delicious. Thanks for sharing your recipes with us. I'm making Italian meatballs today with grass fed beef, bison and pork sausage. Yum!
Alias....I've tried every store here in Central Florida and Moose is knot available anywhere....The joys of simple living in Alaska!!😎🥶🐾
@@downhillnut2273 I'm well aware that moose isn't available for public sale.....You missed the joke.
I love Eric’s “this is probably the best meal I’ve ever had”. Ariel has killer bread skills.
Good evening from New York. I was waiting for your video all day today and you posted it when we went to have dinner.😊 I’m so happy to watch it tonight. I love to watch everything you post. 👍I feel like ( after all these years I follow you) you are the best couple on the UA-cam! I watch every your videos many times and every time I find something new in it! I’m much older than you guys but I find it so interesting and informative. I wish you the best of the best and please keep posting! 💕I love Alaska through your videos! ❤️Hope you have a great weekend! ❤
You guys make such yummy meals! 😋🤤 You probably won't see this message, but wild Buffalo meat in Australia (introduced feral species) looks lean and delicious like moose meat. I like to use Kangaroo mince (very similar to Buffalo but native and a little bit gamey in flavour) and chicken mince together for my meatloaf too. Another trick for your meatloaf is to soften onion, celery and carrot in a pan in butter and olive oil, then add it to your mince mix. Makes it taste so sweet and savoury and delicious! 🤤😋
Hi I am sosososo very happy you are back again I really love your show you really do a great job I will always praying 🙏 for you and your husband ok and please be careful out there ok can you do more new show for all of us please thank you sosososo much we will be waiting for you ok you have a wonderful day and have a good night and day ok love Lorilee xoxoxoxox 😊😊😊😊😊
SUGGESTION: My grandmother used to make fried apple pies at the holidays. And everyone would have to have some. Her secret was to fry them in bacon grease. Her filling was out of this world. Sweet, salty and bacon. Can't get any better than that. I am the only grandchild who makes the fried apple pies for the holidays out 25 grandchildren. Try it some time. Loved watching you cook your meals. You two cook the heartiest meals and I love it. Take care! Cheers!
I love to watch ALL your videos. But ones with food 😍😍😍 thank you both for bringing Alaska into my home in the UK. Never tried Moose 🫎 but always looks great when you cook it.
Catfish stuffed cheese balls battered and fryed (deep) splashed with balsa virger salt and pepper. Here's the trick, you have to cut fish into good size cubes the make slice into the center leaving 3 sides uncut, insert small cheese ball. These are more like nugget or medium size meat ball. They're good as a meal, finger dipping and my favorite is pasta cream sauce with the catfish cheese balls
That was super interesting guy’s. I think a nice cheese ham and onion as a filling for the last recipe. And tinned peaches, for the sweet. It all looked great. I love the way Ariel can just easily make bread and pastry, with confidence. Well done guy’s.👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥👍♥
Aioli Dip: 1 cup of Mayo (homemade always the best), 1 cup of adobo peppers and associated juice/sauce (more the spicier and better, personal opinion), 1-2 limes (juiced)! Bam! there's your sauce Ariel!!
This is NOT the channel to watch when you are hungry!
I could have just finished a meal and this video would have made me hungry!
Haha! True!@@judycarter8199
But I will still watch.... I really like Moose meat and I really like all of your recipes !!! They are soooo yummy looking !!! So I will watch, drool , then raid the fridge !!! 😄
Cabbage, onions, lots of roasted garlic, salt and black pepper and your choice of meat. Also known as Beerox. Soooo delicious! I bet they would be amazing with Moose
I’d add potatoes instead of meat. Yumm
I always enjoy ur content (Coop Fan here!)...I can't take my eyes off that kitchen!!! The wood grain cabinets with the contrasting hardware , the backsplash/ stainless steel/black stove...damn good eye candy there!!!
My aunt (a notoriously horrible cook) used to make salmon loaf. It was atrocious, but to make it even worse, she made a cream sauce with minced hard boiled eggs. The "side" dish was a lime jello salad with bits of chopped celery, carrots and canned peas floating around in it.
One hell of a yummy video! I'm glad your such good cooks cause it is a delight watching you guys work together and enjoy good food. As always give the dogs a pat from me and Pepper a scratch under the chin. I love watching you guys and am thankful as always that you let us into your lives a little bit. Thank you for another great video!!
Hello, what I love about empanada is with egg and cheese with a ground meat on it. Just a simple seasoning to taste the ingredients, cheese will give it more flavor, If you got hot sauce, after it was cooked you inject that hot sauce inside. Its superb yummy. I ate it after the hot sauce was put inside
I am glad I already ate dinner as your videos always make me hungry!
Greetings from Michigan to you hardy folks in the Great White North. Your creative meals always look so delicious and I say to myself "I would eat that..." There are many cold weather meals using red meat that we enjoy in the midwest, but an old favorite is one I learned from my mother. She would make sloppy joe sandwiches making her own version of sauce; not the canned stuff commonly found in stores. Easy to do: brown ground meat with diced onion until no longer pink. In the same pan, start with a base of tomato ketchup or plain tomato sauce. Add brown sugar, yellow mustard, vinegar and worcestershire sauce. Adjust the ingredient quantities until you have a sweet/sour or BBQ sauce style flavor and there is enough sauce to make the mixture 'sloppy'. Simmer on low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is cohesive, around 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sloppy Joes are usually served on a soft hamburger style bun with potato chips on the side.
Everything looks delicious, but that bread is special!
Who is almost always top of my subscription list? You guys are!!!! A very Merry Christmas and wishing you both a new year filled with blessing after blessing!! Love you guys!!
❤❤COLD meatloaf sandwiches!!
What a salivating episode. All looks marvelous and from start to finish homemade from scratch. The last recipe looked very much like our Cornish pasties. Different ingredients but they were originally adopted for the tin miners and farmers in the 17th/18th century so that working with unclean hands meant they could hold the pasty and eat around the filling. They are still a favourite today
Im from Wales and these remind me of a Cornish pasty, Yum yum
I don't know where Pepper was at the end, but I loved it. I also liked Eric's question of if the dough needed to sit on the couch. I thought that was really funny. You two work wonderfully together. In some ways, my husband and I would have been much happier living this lifestyle than the one we did. Sadly, I am 58, and my dh (61) isn't due home permanently from KZ until June 2025. I am sure that trying to start over in the wilderness would not suit us at our age. When we first married in 1988, we talked about walking the Appalachian trail and sleeping in the back of our Colony Park Station wagon. That never happened. Instead, we became high school (me) and community college (him) English teachers in rural Central Utah.
You guys never disappoint. So creative w/ingredients! My stomach is growling and I am drooling 😂
You two have become so very resourceful your gardening your canning your game recipes your abilities know no bounds even your outdoor building is close to professional ,just amazing.
Here we go!!!
I do something similar all the time. For filling I fry a couple of fistfulls of kale, a finely sliced onion and some garlic until the kale shrinks down. Then I fry off ground moose in some sesame oil. Mix the kale and moose with a cup of boiled rice, salt, pepper and a little hotsauce ex Tabasco.
For Dipping-sauce: 1.5 cups of black olives, 2 cloves of garlic, 3/4 cup olive oil and splash of fish-sauce in the blender.
LOVE your cooking videos! 🤗🤤
Make Jamaican beef Pattie’s but with moose meat! The key to the filling is to blend up really fine bread crumbs with the meat mixture, a bit of broth to make it more of a runny meat paste. The crust is basically the empanada crust but I add some tumeric and curry powder. Absolutely delicious!
Yum Yum Yum Yum; made me so hungry!!!!!
Cold meatloaf with ketchup sandwiches are amazing.you guys need to write a cookbook! I'd buy it. Might not be able to find Moose meat where I am. But I'd try! Or add a recipe per month to your calendar.
Meatloaf sandwich with mayo and bread & butter pickles!

The relax joke and then the eye roll from the fur child was so good. It was like a badum-tish
Love you guys from Laguna Hills, CA
Wow! Thanks for an inspiring video. Definately mouth watering food. Here is my favourite Norwegian moose casserolle:
Moose casserole
1 kg elk, moose or other meat
Butter or lard for frying
15 crushed juniper berries
1 tablespoon dried thyme
5 dl water
3 carrots
1⁄2 celery root (optional)
1/2 onion or leek (opitonal)
6 mushrooms (optional, but really good)
3 dl half’n half, whole-fat milk/cream
Wheat flour to thicken the sauce
1 cup sour cream
1⁄2 tbsp lingonberry jam or an other tart jelly/jam.
1.5 teaspoons of salt
Coarsely ground pepper to taste.
Cut the meat in pieces, 2x4 cm and fry it in butter/lard on high temperature to give it a brown, crisp surface. Peel and chop the vegetables into small pieces. Put the meat and veg. into a pan, with everything except the flour, cream, sour cream and lingonberry jam. Cook everything until the meat is tender, ca 1,5-2 hours. Thicken the sauce with some flour mixed with some of the milk. Add the rest of the milk, cream and sour cream and jam. Serve with potatoes, rice, mashed potatoes or what ever you prefer.
❤Love you guys and love your food! MORRRRRRE!❤
