Hi friends, today we are making my daughter's all-time favourite meal, our Best Ever Spaghetti Sauce. It's filled with all kinds of good stuff, and all my kids love it (and mom and dad, too). I also decided to make some simple meat balls to go with it. Later, I made some sprouted grain bread and wandered down to the greenhouse to do a little more potting up. I hope you enjoy coming along with me.
Thanks for watching!

I truly appreciate you not editing out the mishaps! That is life!
😂 ❤ Please never edit these things out. It helps us know that you are real just like us. ❤ Love ya girl ❤
What a great mom and wife
I use an old mouse pad to peel my garlic! Works great!❤❤❤
That’s what I love about your channel…it Is real in addition to your sweet personality and awesome cooking!
yes - no edits! what a bother and we love the real!
we have a small town newspaper in my town that gives away the remnant rolls from production - it's good clean white paper and will be perfect for paper pots - folks could check in their own towns for this too, since plant based ink papers can be hard to find - thanks for the great tip! ok now i want a warm piece of bread and cold butter..cheers to you this fine spring day!
Can't beat spaghetti and meatballs with homemade bread.❤
Even with your type of can opener, you can still open both ends of the tomato paste can. No need to push the paste through with the lid, it'll just slide out on its own once the second end is off. It's an airflow thing. 😉
I always fry the tomato paste first then I add the onion then garlic. That makes a deeper tomato taste.😊
The ultimate reality TV.
Chelsea… as I’ve said many times.. u amaze me….
I loved watching as you went to every corner of your kitchen, showing us all your different food preparation…WOW!!!!’
I also love that you show us all your mishaps…. You might be Wonder Woman but you are human.. what a breath of fresh air you are… I had forgotten about the pickled eggs… they looked yummy.. I hope your kids loved them!!
Thanks for such learning videos even though I do feel so lazy after watching you.. I do have quite a few years on you though..( that will be my excuse 😉😉
Sending love and sunshine
☀️💚☀️
I love your paper pots,in the greenhouse,what a great idea.
Thanks for keeping real & sharing your wonderful cooking, etc.! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
I love that you keep it real.
Funny, I just made my best ever spaghetti sauce just the other day. I accidentally made too much but not enough for another meal so it became the best ever pizza sauce. I love repurposing leftovers
It's been a few years now where I only use pasta sauce for my pizza. It is delicious and I don't have to spend money buying something extra. Not that pizza sauce is expensive but no need for it anymore.
Love your "real life cooking show"! It's just like my kitchen.
Where i live in the UK, we have dinner at midday and our evening meal is called tea. I think it's a northern England thing. I'd never heard of paper pots until your last video on them, but yesterday, in a local shop, I saw a wooden tool for making them. Such a great idea and a great way to cut down on our use of plastic.
it is a great idea- my Grandfather did that- but now a days- we get all our newspapers on line so no more paper lol
In Australia dinner is the evening meal and tea is a drink.
@@kathiebezer1956😂
@@kathiebezer1956 tea is also dining. We always say “what’s for tea tonight “.
Dinner
I'm so glad you don't edit it all, I had such a giggle, and i rarely get to do that.
I love that your videos are "real"! Great recipe for spaghetti
We all have those days. I'm glad you keep it real.
Lovely session. Your plants look so healthy. Cannot wait to see them all in your garden. Thank you so much for your channel!! I watch every video🥰❣️‼️
Your description of your sauce was inspiring! You always make such wonderful meals for your family❗️
I always mix my meatloaf or meatball mixture in my mixer..I do have the largest kitchen aid so we can do triple batches of cookie dough at the holiday time. My husband chose it for his bread making so of course it’s the biggest one in the color imperial grey. It should be on the counter of a Star Wars movie for sure.
Watched your video making tomato soup on youtube on TV. Could not comment so will comment on it here. Probably the most amazing tomato soup I have seen and I have made many tomato soups. One thing I would say is your giving it a disservice by just calling it Tomato Soup. I would suggest it be called Tomato soup with roasted garlic,onion, red peppers and squash❤❤❤
Love your excitement about a snapdragon bloom! One of my favorites too!
That looked absolutely delicious Chelsea! You’re a hardworking young lady. God bless
When you garlic is ready may I suggest
Homemade roasted garlic, pickled garlic, and when roasting that garlic in a neutral oil, so you'll have garlic oil.
Wow it looks delicious. It is a great way to sneak veggies in on my kids. I’ll have to try it. Thank you for the recipe.
My husband is just finishing up building new cupboards - looks like we chose the same colour!
I’m pretty sure that’s the 8qt pan Martha Stewart used to sell 20 years ago. It had a glass lid with a wide loop handle on top. I made a lot of pots of soup in that one 🧡.
Your Best Ever Spaghetti Sauce with Simple Meatballs looks delicious!! Thanks for sharing!
I’d love a video on how you make and can pulled pork! ❤
I like that you show real life ;)
yum
Another suggestion take that garlic and freze dry it and add sea salt to make garlic salt seasoning.
Love your real life, the sauce is delicious. Your greenhouse is my dream thank you for sharing
Made the sauce!!!! My husband doesn’t like Italian at all but he loved this, yea for you as I do love ltalaian. I was thinking on the way home from church I wanted to try it and came up with the idea of using my freeze dried squash powder, onions, peppers so I could get it done asap. Even added a bag of my roasted eggplant from freezers . So grand!!! Thank you tons, Jean Colorado USA
Sounds amazing!!
good job!
You can put kale powder in some kind of dough and make tortillas or something else with it or you could put it in smoothies
I have squash in the freezer that I roasted last fall, think I will try adding some to my pasta sauce too. Good idea!
I looove that bowl you’re using at the beginning of the video.
I love how real your videos are! God bless!
Real life is awesome, no need to edit out…it makes those of us 😊lilike we athat have accidents or oops when we cook feel like we are not alone lol
Thank you so much for all your shows I just love them all
Keep, keeping it real. Love it, thank you.
You should have a show on CBC or CTV or the Canadian version of PBS.
It’s more fun with the odd little mishap! Like the option of meatless or meatballs. I separate a portion of sauce out beforehand. 😍🇨🇦
❤❤❤
The pumpkin/squash seeds roasted up are my favorite! Those chickens would be out of luck for pumpkin seeds around me.
I learned the tomato paste trick years ago
Yesterday I walked into the kitchen, right into the corner of the cabinet door which my hubby left open! Ouch! Thankfully the skin didn’t break! Accidents do happen!
Real life is great to see, thankfully for that🫶🏻👍🏻
I am glad to know I am not the only clumsy cook! Your recipes look delicious. I never added hard squash in sauce, but definitely will next time. I do put shredded carrots and zucchini to mine. My husband who isn't a veggie eater never knows! Thanks for sharing
I think the squash had been baked - looked like it when it was on the tray.
Oh Chelsea, your videos bring me so much joy and today, even laughter. You had me laughing along with you at the paste dropping. You are so right….this is real life. I love canning also and can’t wait to start again this season.
My mother used to make pickled eggs and cucumbers every summer for snacking on... yummy.
Marc from happy caravan does that trick and I have seen him do it of the tomato paste
Awesome..so enjoy your videos... Thankyou
You are an amazing woman!
Such a hard worker❤
❤
I always wish I could grab the crust when you slice into a fresh loaf since you usually take the second slice 😀
I always, always eat the end slice myself, it’s the best part! But I want to show you a full slice so I cut a second. You’d be welcome to it though!
Blessings!
Cute snapdragon.
I open both ends and push it thru…easy..
I add baking soda to cut the acidity
You should still be able to shake the tomatopaste out the tin easily ones both lid sides are off.
Love your video!! Spring is here in Indiana in full swing and I can't wait to get my plant starts outside!! I'm totally trying that sauce recipe next week! Looked amazing! Thanks for your videos! I absolutely love them. So calming and has great info!!
Another great video
I live in the close to 100 mile as well and was wondering when do you plan on planting your potatos onions and carrots
Everything you makes sounds so incredible ❤
I have been making your Quick Buns, I use the recipe for white buns, saffron buns and cinnamon rolls. Always a hit❤
Always enjoy Your Videos, thanx Chelsea. 😃
Here in Southeastern Oklahoma we have our garden planted, we are getting lettuce, mustard greens, radishes. and green onions to eat now.
Lucky you!
I loved this episode and am going to attempt the bread this weekend. It looks amazing! 😊
Hey Chelsea. Thank you for sharing your recipe and greenhouse update. Apart from the freezing hose, your setup looks like it’s working smoothly with fantastic results. 😃
What’s left in your grow room? Peppers? Hope I’m not coming across as nosy; just really interested in gardening. I deliberately stunted my own indoor grow area peppers by not potting up because I haven’t got a warm enough GH to harden off the potted up tomatoes that are largely still indoors. We’ve had a late flush of below freezing temperatures at night where I live in the UK. 😩
If you plant out some remaining small onions in a designated spot you could try collecting the seed this year. I believe one needs at least 10 flowering onions to provide viable seeds.
Can’t wait for more garden videos. Excited to see what changes you might share after your Master Garden course. Congratulations, btw.
As always so nice to see you. Don't you dare edit your video. It's perfect! Thank you for the great newsletter I just love them. Looking so forward to trying your recipe for spaghetti. I love to cook. I just pressure canned 24 jars of yams as they were so cheap at the market and will incorporate that instead of the squash. Will let you know. I am using the canned yam for pumpkin pie. Family said it is 100% better than canned pumpkin. The yams are so sweet that you need very little brown sugar. So fun to try new recipes. The weather is so warm today I have been so busy outside. Cheers to everyone.
I think the tams would be amazing!
Hi Chelsea, thank you for sharing your recipe. Will you be doing a video on canning rhubarb?
Absolutely!
I put a roast in the instapot just a little water when done add freezedry veg and my sauce taste like its cooked all day deee lish
Hello i put my meatballs directly in the sauce and Cook for maximum 2hours on slow and they are the best ..... In my sauce i Just add onion oil and basil and leave It plain .... In my meatballs i put parm cheese eggs garlic parsley and a Little bread crumbs .. real identical italian food ... Living in Italy ....Hope you give It a try .....love you always waiting for you ....❤❤❤ Si i can learn lots everyday ....
Do you dehydrate or freeze dry your herbs?- have a dehydrator and that is what I use- some times I hang them in the barns to dry= need to wait on the freeze dryer due to a place to put it- btw looking into the tomato machine you used
Freeze dry
Wow, I'm early!! Hi, Chelsea!
I a glad you don’t edit out real life!! We all experience those things.
Not one to follow a recipe unless baking.
But here's what I put in my spaghetti:
Lean ground beef
Onions and loads of em
Bell peppers
Some times bella mushrooms
Minced garlic
Anchovies
Basil
Oregano
Thyme
Marjoram
Parsley
Salt and pepper
Red pepper flakes (I sneak em in)
Canned tomatoes
Tomato paste
Whole wheat pasta
Parmesan cheese
Some times a little red wine
Measurements are eyeballed and depends on how big of a batch being made.
I'm not one of those that puts a pile of pasta on a plate then laddles a little puddle of sauce on top.
I've always just mixed the pasta and sauce together before it hits the table.
Everybody loves it and that's what matters.
But you can't have spaghetti without some good buttery garlic bread with a little parmesan on top.
The addition of anchovies is brilliant. It must give it a nice salty yet unique flavor that no one would be able to realize it's anchovies.
@@marykoufalis7666
They absolutely do not know it's anchovies.
It does change the flavor, but if you don't know it has anchovies, you can't figure out what it is.
And here's how sneaky I am.
There was a kitchen table debate about anchovies at my house one time, and most said that they couldn't stand anchovies or absolutely hated them.
So being me, I set up a taste test, not a strange thing for me to do as I do it with many recipes I'm trying to perfect.
I made a pot of spaghetti with anchovies and a pot without, that was the only difference.
They all declared the pot with anchovies to be the winner, so I revealed what was in it.
Their jaws dropped!!!
And the pot with anchovies was near gone by the time they left my house.
I do taste tests like that all the time, just label them A or B, then tell them what's different afterwards.
This way I get honest and unbiased opinions and can alter recipes accordingly, and they get to enjoy some good food, have fun and learn something too.
;-)
What size tomato paste do you use?
Could you share what tomatoes you use on your spaghetti sauce?
Goggles. That’s how I do my tomato paste. I am glad you don’t edit that stuff out.
I leave my meatballs craggy to hold sauce better and cook them in a cardboard egg carton on a tray. The cardboard absorbs the fat.
Where can I find the whole wheat recipe? Mine always turns out super dense. Yours looks perfect!
I don’t have it written down yet, but the trick is to use sprouted flour that’s been milled well. I use Bob Mills.
Here’s the rough version for you to play with.
1 quart water
1tbsp yeast
1/4 cups each oil and honey
2tsp salt
Enough flour to make a soft dough.
Let right twice! Munch down and lightly knead after the first rise.
Form 3 loaves rise again.
Bakes at 350 for 30 min.
😊
@@LittleMountainRanch Thank you! I bet that’s why… I was just using plain WW flour, not sprouted flour. I will give that a go. Thanks so much for taking the time to read comments and respond. 🙂
How are the bees doing? Did they make it through winter?
They were killed off by the wasps in November. They were brutal!
@@LittleMountainRanch NO! That's awful. I'm so sorry.
Chelsea, you are the second channel I’ve watched today whose bees were killed by hornets. The other channel (Project Portugal) said it’s because hornets are attracted to fruit trees, so they will need to move their hive away from their fruit trees. Hope this is helping to you.😊❤
Sjovt at nogle af dine kålplanter er opkaldt efter min hovdestad( København)
You didn't make fresh noodles for the sauce?
I don’t have time today but that would have made it even better!
I got food poisoning on eggs a week ago, and not sure how long it will take to eat an egg again. 😢
Looks like a lagastina brand
Great video as always my sweet friend. Am I the only one who was raised that when you get your bread out of the oven- you butter the tops??? 😄 I didn’t do it once just to check it out and it was crunchy crust and crumbled cutting. 🤷♀️ Oh well. Thought I’d ask where we’re on opposite ends of Canada. I’m the last wee town in New Brunswick… ever hear of the Home of Mount Allison university?? Walk through it going in town - campus is on both sides of York Street … and when it’s lunch, y’all would THINK college students would look both ways crossing the road but nooooo. Traffic can sit twenty minutes while they cross to the dining hall - ear plugs in and heads down looking at their phones 😄😄 Honestly, they need crossing guards more so than elementary children 😄. Cell phones are the worst invention EVER. I leave mine in my cabin - even left it when I went in town UNTIL they removed the LAST pay phone 😕
Gonna make your spaghetti sauce tomorrow for supper 👍👍
PS) I’ll let you know if and how many times I drop something. 😄. That was just too cute 🥰
Your comment made me smile, thank you! I don’t butter the top because ours gets eaten fast enough not to go head.
Hard
How many are in your family?
7 still at home.
Hi Chelsea ! Could you tell us what your tattoos are ???? ❤
I am grateful (spelled that way), and this little light of mine.
Do you have your canning recipes in your cookbook?
No
So its only kind of a recipe?
It’s a recipe and was sent out to my newsletter subscribers this morning. I’ll have it posted on the blog asap.😊
I just paused the video to buy a pair of your onion goggles!
