I love how Dan mindfully put his arm around you to keep you from falling. An act of Love for sure.❤️Keeper❤️
Pyrex says on their website that their measuring cups can be used for either dry or wet. I have definitely used it for both. This seems to fall under the "don't sweat the small stuff" category for me. I will keep on using the one that is easiest to grab. Love your videos!!!!
I knew the rule, but always use what leaves me less dirty dishes!
So funny to hear how planning for YT videos now has you much more mindful of your day (e.g., remembering to thaw out things). Glad we can give something back to you that way 🙂
Oh I am so excited to learn about your freeze dryer. Congratulations and thank you Harvest Right for choosing such a deserving You Tuber!
Jessica at "Three Rivers Homestead" uses her juice from canned fruit to make her kids gelatin. I was thrilled to see this because it killed me to see all of that deliciousness go down the drain🙂
It also makes wonderful popsicles, and peach juice is nice added to tea to make peach sweet tea!
I love to watch you bake and cook! It seems like it would be easier for you to have all your baking ingredients by the counter where you were filming so you don’t have to traipse back and forth across the kitchen so many times. Oh, I’m excited for the cookbook! And congratulations on the freeze dryer! That will be so much fun.
I think that's how she stays so trim and slim!
So nice to see Dan on camera! He seems like an awesome husband and father! Love the spring… what a great place!
He’s the best!
I hope your family appreciates the work you do to make all that yummy food! ..... great job!
Your meals always look so yummy!
God bless all of your family!
I love that your recipes are made of Whole Foods. No store bought mixes! Can’t wait for your cookbook to come out into the world
Congrats on the freeze dryer. I, and I am sure other subscribers, sent an email to Harvest Right, advising they would be well-placed to send you a freeze dryer! I got a very nice, non-committal response from them, and am delighted they are sending you one! I understand you know Jessica from Three Rivers, and she does all kinds of fantastic things with hers. Wow! I can't think of a better spokesman for Harvest Right than you and Jessica! Again, congrats! I am delighted!
Really???? Oh my goodness thank you so much. What a kind and thoughtful thing to do!❤️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😇
God has blessed you and your family. It's beautiful to see a big family like yours being so self efficient. Love this.
I love your videos! You make the best recipes and communicate so well. I want to share that the only differences in the measuring cups is that a liquid measure has a spout and dry measure is made for easy leveling of dry ingredients. A cup is a cup, so you've been doing it right all along. Can't wait to see what you do with the freeze drier.
I so agree!
Chelsea, you have such a calming voice that if I don’t listen to you in the morning I feel I haven’t started my day right🥰❤️🙏I have watched your videos over and over again, lol!! Love all your material!!!
You & Dan are an Amazing couple!
Just Beautiful ... I love making Shepherd's Pie on a cold day. The Red Pepper Jelly sounds devine,
I will have to make it
I think shepherd's pie needs to go in the rotation this next week. And I have a few bags of frozen blueberries that I need to use. Thanks for the recipes. For someone that claims to not like cooking (I would have never guessed), you sure do a great job at it.
I live in Georgia 🇺🇸 & it tickled me when you said you had to check your spring box “before winter sets in”. I consider what y’all are walking through a fantastic winter wonderland! Looks “set in” big time to me ☺️. So beautiful! Love your videos!
Chelsea, don't fret about the measuring cups, they can be used for wet or dry ingredients. All the food that you made today looks utterly delicious 😋
My mom found out that HER mother used the same cup for both wet and dry, and gave me a big lecture about why you can't use them interchangeably. Obedient as I was, I have always used both. As an older adult, I decided there was no need and just use a single cup now...less dishes❣️
I am in my 70’s and never knew that 😂👍I learned something new today ❤️
I love watching you! I love your farm, your canning and all that goes with homemaking. Anxiously waiting for your cookbook!
Hello from Ireland and your the first American to make our shepards pie exactly they way we do
I was taught the difference in dry/wet measurement in high school home economics, but I've never seen that it makes much difference in recipes!
I adore your wood cook stove!
The sound of that crunchy snow is great for those who have never experienced it. Having grown up in Michigan I can't imagine wondering what it's like!
Omgoodness Chelsea, wow…..I am so excited for you getting a freeze dryer. You guys so deserve it. Congrats 💕 PS the only difference between wet and dry measuring cups is…there is room above the one cup line for the liquid cups so you don’t spill it when you carry it to the bowl. They are box one cup. So either way…..they both work. I love ketchup on my shepherds pie too.
Thanks for clearing that up! Makes perfect sense.
This was another great video--the walk to the spring was beautiful in the snow. Your dinner looked scrumptious and I'm anxious to duplicate it. I've made your Nutella bread and my husband ate most of it after dinner and finished it off for breakfast.
How beautiful is it where u live, imagine being able to be around all the natural and gorgeousness everyday
What a sweet man to reach out and hug u while walking xoxo you've met your moat wonderful matches 💖
He's amazing! ❤️
Congrats on the freeze dryer!!! Yay. That is really a neat thought that you could be preserving food for your kids for the future. So cool. At first when I saw you pull out the ketchup I thought you were putting it on the ice cream, lol. I am like...is she serious? Takes me a while to catch on, lol. What a lovely meal for your family. That takes a lot of time thinking out big meal plans like that. I get to cook on a wood stove we purchased from our Amish neighbors when they upgraded. I like cooking on it. Especially simmering soups all day or making stock. It is also our main heat source in our house.
I did wonder if they were a good heat source as well as cooking. Thanks for answering my unasked question.
I would love to have a large glass of that pure spring water.
That frreezedryer is going to totally revamp your preservation. Your pantry will be completely different next year. And you will be amazed by the flavour of freezedried green beans vs. the canned muck you have now ;-) You have no idea how much more excited you will be once you get the hang of it. It's really a game changer, total overhaul. I'm so excited for your family to 'get' one from HR (not sure if there are strings attached to the gift, but showing it on YT will be more than a fair deal for you). Hip hip huzaaa!
In the UK Shepherds pie is made with ground lamb (hence the Shepherd in the name). We call the one made with beef or pork< Cottage pie. 😁
I’m Puerto Rican and chopping onions doesn’t affect my eyes at all. I’ve been chopping onions for 55 years. Never made me tear. I chop all kinds of red, white, yellow onions.
I did NOT want a freeze dryer. The bad reviews about changing oil, poor customer service and problems I read turned me off. A year ago this month, after hearing all the UA-cam channels sing their praises I gave in and bought the large freeze dryer, oil free pump with extra shelves. I now LOVE it. Customer service has been very kind and helpful with my questions and user error issues. My kids are grown up so it’s just the 2 of us but I’m using it all the time. It’s going almost non stop. You don’t need to have a large family to make it worthwhile. I am not sorry I bought a freeze dryer. ❤
Here in England that cobbler would most likely have been served with custard, nice and thick. Love these sort of recipes, my children, now grown up, tell me that the food they ate as children was full of fat and sugar. They then proceed to feed their children with manufactured snack bars masquerading as health bars where the first 2 ingredients listed are sugar and fructose. My answer is, all three of you grew up healthy, and my son is a Royal Marine Commando, so must of done something right with all my from scratch cookery. 😂😂
That is so amazing and wonderful that Harvest Right sent you a freeze dryer!! So exciting!!! I can't wait to buy one some day.
Your Cottage Pie looks lovely. It must be a real arm workout, mashing all those potatoes! My mum was one of 8 children. My nan would have loved your kitchen. She worked wonders with a small gas cooker and a tiny galley kitchen, but I don't know how she managed logistically. Thank you for sharing
I think the liquid dry cups is a new thing that everybody has discovered and so has to pass it on. I’ve been using those Pyrex cups for both for years and everything turns out that’s fine. I make my shepherd pie just like you except I don’t add broth and I mix the cheese in with the potatoes. Everybody loves it. Great comfort food. I’ll have to try blueberries and peaches with my cobbler next time since I love blueberries.
I just found your channel and love it your great cooker beautiful place I'm 70 disabled Im a artist I'm from West Virginia always ,giveI a thumbs up God bless you and your family.
Welcome!
Amazing spring water I remembered Grandmas well water so cold and good
A cookbook would be a wonderful idea.
I've been cooking for 41 yrs I knew there were different measuring cups but still didn't use them. My recipes are always good so I wouldn't feel bad. Only in baking do I measure, I go by taste and the looks of things.
You can tell you are a marvelous cook. Congratulations on your freeze dryer. If I were young I would have loved one but my children are all married. Just me and my husband.
I'm anxious to see how you use it.
I took a cooking class in high school and my grade was reduced on a cooking session because I used a liquid measure rather than one for dry ingredients. I was raised to reduce the number of dishes to clean but it’s something I’ve never forgotten!
I learned that about the measuring cups a couple years ago and I've been cooking, canning, etc... for many years. So don't be embarrassed about not knowing. I bet there are a lot of people that don't know this. Thank you for sharing your family cobbler recipe.
I didn't know the measuring cup thing either. Well, now we know. 😊
Lovely video content and will definitely try out these two recipes for my family :) Super excited girlie for your freeze dryer!!!! Welcome to a whole new way to preserve food! Looking forward to sharing the freeze drying journey with you and others. I have learned a few time saving tips and hacks that have greatly helped with time and organization. Thank you to Harvest Right!!!
We're I live 15 is freaking cold. We've got snow twice already, typically we don't get snow before Christmas. It's gonna be a cold snowing winter this year. I hope everyone got prepped over the summer. I also prep foods, of course my lasagna I get cooked, cool then vax seal single servings for freezer, did same for homemade cast iron pizzas, made up 360 hot wings and vax-sealed into 8 per pack for freezer. Made Chilli 2 huge pots, (12 lbs hamburger) and have 38 4 serving freezer bowls ready for winter.
Thanks for sharing your versions of prepping
Don’t worry about the measuring cups, either will measure a cups by volume. The clear measuring cup just makes it easier to measure a liquid without having to fill multiple cups.
Every time I see your wood cook stove i just oohhh n ahhhh over it! 😁
I have always dreamed of having one but now that I live in Louisiana USA. Just not feasible! We have summer time weather just about 7-9 months of the year! We pretty much live in a tropical state!
But your stove is so beautiful! My Maw Nichols cooked on one till I was about 10 yes old! I loved staying with her n helping her cook on that stove!
Congrats on getting the freeze drier! Your preservation game is about to go NEXT LEVEL!
Glad you love your Lodge pans! They are made in a small community just outside Chattanooga, Tennessee...my hometown. Really great store at the plant! You'd LOVE it!
So happy for your gift fro harvest right. Yay!!
We also love Shepherd's pie. I have always added a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture and we eat it the British way with HP sauce on top instead of ketchup. In fact, I get cravings for the sauce, which is why I make Shepherd's pie! Ketchup on meat loaf. It's so interesting to hear other families food traditions. I absolutely love your videos and send warm thoughts from Winnipeg, where we had a little blizzard last night and are about as snowy as you are!
"Smells like summer" is appreciated and understood by those who live in a winter climate. I say it often about flowers I purchase in the middle of winter. I'm new to your channel and absolutely love it!
Welcome!
Your 🥫 canned food is awesome. Reminds me of my grandma's cellar. My husband is from Canada 🇨🇦.
Yes!! I think of Kristi and Anne whenever I eat red pepper jelly too!!!! And we also stole that recipe!
♥️
I always leave your videos starving! Everything looks SO good. I was thinking yesterday when you said you wanted a Harvest Rite freeze dryer that I’ll bet the company will send you one because of the volume of food you process! I’m so happy they did! The kids will love the vegetables and fruits. Folks say they are delicious! Enjoy! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Judy..I'm a new one here but the ones I have seen..I drool excessively! From now on..before I watch..I'm putting a bib on! Ya with me? Lol
I made cottage pie (ground beef version) and peach cobbler for dinner. Neither one of us had ever had it and really liked it! I found your channel like two day ago and I’m already so hooked and influenced lol
You are both so knowledgeable. You have such a beautiful place there. I know its a labor of love. I'm so happy that i found your channel. Everything you do just makes me happy. I've been binge watching.
So excited for your freeze dryer!!!! Yay!!!!
Also, thank you for going out of your way to do your delicious looking cobbler! Everything looks incredibly delicious! ❤
Your property is beautiful. The natural spring water is amazing. All the recipes look delicious. Especially the cobbler and ice cream. Yum😊
💚 How absolutely wonderful that you have a spring on your property and it's gravity fed down to the house! Getting a little creek flowing in the ditch that remains will be so nice. I definitely have a water source like that on my "Dream" property! Super yummy-looking Cobbler, Shepherd's Pie and Ice Cream, Yum-O! 💚
Congratulations I think you deserve it after binge watching your channel, I hope you have a lot of fun and it helps you with your cooking.
Congratulations on the freezedryer! Can't wait to see what you make.
I love shepherds pie! I recently learned that if it’s made with ground beef instead of lamb, it’s called cottage pie. The roasted garlic in mashed potatoes is delicious. I add a squeeze of lemon juice too. You can’t taste the lemon (unless you use too much) but the acid with the starchy potatoes makes the flavor pop.
Watching this late into the evening was a pure torture, but I'm very happy for you and everyone who had a chance to try the feast you prepared :D
We were taught the difference with the measuring cups but it really doesn't matter what you use as long as they are the measurements called for, lol. I used to do it all the time and I came out alright, lol.
Girl..I didn't know that either about measuring cups..58 and learned it today..
I cannot wait for future news on cookbook - I’m so excited. Count me in for a copy!
So happy for you to get the freeze dryer. If anyone needs or deserves one it’s your family. I’m sure you’ll make very good use of it.
Congrats on the Freezeright!! Woooo hoo!
So nice to see your GP with you in the forest . Had one too when we first came to our farm .they are certainly a force! Good puppy
I’m so happy for you on the freeze dryer. It’s also on my homestead dream list though it’ll be a lot of saving before we can afford the price tag. But that doesn’t stop me from dreaming and watching what everyone makes with theirs. I can’t wait to see what you do lucky lady! Congrats
Oh I'm so glad you get a freeze dryer! I don't have one, but I've seen what can be done with them from those I watch!
I've always made a weekly list for dinners. I shop from my list to save money. So, in the morning I just check the list to see what I need to do and what time I need to start cooking. My boys liked to check the list too and often suggested a meal which was great.
red pepper jelly is AHMAZING on top of cream cheese as a dip or if you bake brie in puff pastry and put it on top its good too. yum
🎉 how exciting freeze drier!!!
Here’s a frugal tip-
I save the water from boiling potatoes and use it to make soup. It adds nutrients to and thickens any kind of soup
Sweet !!!!
I like you say you have to check the well before winter sets in, while walking in more snow than denmark ever sees 😅
Lol!
Oh I’d love for you to put a cookbook together. All of your food looks delicious. I found your channel a couple weeks ago. I just love your content. Thank you for sharing all that you do. I must say, I’m a little jealous because I’d love to live where you live, and the lifestyle you live. Unfortunately I’m over 50 and single with health problems so I’d never be able to do all the work required. But in my eyes, you have the perfect little homestead!
I know I'm late to the game but I'm super excited for you and your family for getting your freeze dryer!
I don't have a place to put one not can I afford one at this time but I'm thankful for you. ♥️
I learned recently to break up ground meat with a whisk.
What a nice looking dog!!
OOH! That's what I should do with my well! The walls of my well is crumbling as well.
Ive never made a cobbler with fruit on the bottom
Looks yummy both ways
You will love your freeze dryer! I love Cooking with my freeze dried foods. I've had a harvest right for 2 years now and use it all the time. My most favorite things are Freeze dried onions and freeze dried peppers. I also freeze dry most of my frozen veggies to save freezer space. Freeze drying your herbs is the best! They taste and smell exactly like fresh. Enjoy!
Oh my goodness! I am so glad you mentioned the difference between liquid measuring cups and dry! I learned this so long ago I can't recall when and where. It absolutely drives me crazy when I see someone use a liquid measuring cup to measure dry ingredients (or vice versa). I am so excited for you with the freeze dryer! That's wonderful!
Beef is cottage pie, lamb is shepherd's pie ! In the UK anyway. Cumberland pie has (usually) leeks in place of onions, carrots and peas, plus the mash is topped with mature cheddar (or 'old sock') cheddar.
I have mass respect for you. You work your tail off. I apologize for the wishing you liked to cook more. You say on average you cook for 8 people. I can see why you just want to be done with cooking. I love that you love to can and store. You are amazing
Beautiful pantry you have. We also love the way you arrange it. It looks so neat. It's amazing how weather is variable from continent to another. We live in Southern Africa and -10 degree celcius is freezing cold for us...Looord... and then you casually said "it's not even that cold" 😂. Our coldest day in winter is -1 on average! Also, we don't have freeze dryers here, we mostly sun dry for preservation. We enjoy your videos.
Happy for you and the freeze dryer. I have had mine almost 6 years and love it.
Hey, Chels, I would love the peach blueberry cobbler recipe. It sounds great! Thanks Love you.
love the meat pie - and your wood cooker! My Irish husband (it's where we live) would want me to tell you that you're making cottage pie. It's with beef and shepherd's pie is with lamb. He was FOREVER correcting me :) Whatever he calls it, it's great on a snowy or rainy day, isn't it. Lovely video - really enjoying your page.
Wow! So much snow already! Looks beautiful but keep it up there guys! 😁Looks like Winter wonderland! ❤️
I love the watering system!
This is my second video to watch of yours. I got hooked after the first one which was your recent pantry storage video.
Your vlog is very enjoyable and relaxing.
Welcome!
My grandma always used tapioca in blueberry pies and cobbler it absorbs the juice and isn’t “pasty” it still works for me as well.
It would be interesting to see how your pantry looks throughout the year, and see how much is still left before you start canning in August again!
I’m so happy that you’re getting a freeze dryer! That’s an amazing blessing from God sister, yes most definitely wow ❤😊
I topped my Shepard pie with bbq sauce. Yummy.
We just had that discussion about liquid and dry measuring. My mother and sister thought I was crazy and didn’t think there was a difference. I had to pull up articles to prove myself. 😀
