I went to Walmart for a few items. It was lightly snowing when I arrived. When I walked past the entrance to check out, it was blowing hard snow. And Walmart workers were taping down long rugs at each entrance/exit. It said we would get 2 inches of snow; but it was more like 4-5. And it's freezing.
Brrr! That's a fast storm❄️! Hope you made it home safely. Stay warm!
Those are the moments that we should all relish. Contentment!
Yes!
Lovely
Add Dollar tree to your routine. Just down from Hannaford next to Ocean Job Lot. They have some great deals.
Hi, yes, we've been to dollar tree twice. I do need to go back soon. Thank you So much for watching 😌!
Happy New Year. I can see the fireworks at the park from where I live. It's a small town.
Don't worry about the noise of your heater you need to stay warm.i really enjoy your videos of all that you are doing.its a shame you couldn't have got on your new homestead in the spring of 2024 instead of in all this cold weather. The prices there are a lot higher than here in Kentucky right before thanksgiving a grocery store 50 miles from me had green beans and corn 15 Oz cans for 39 cents each no limits and yesterday I got spiral sliced honey hams for 89 lb turkeys 49 lb, at kroger,pork chops 88lb 1 day only at priceless iga bowling green ky, if you ever get a chance come to Mammoth cave national park and tour the cave it's beautiful. I live about 20 minutes from it and I'm walking distance to the park itself. I really enjoy your videos you are always so joyful and giggling. It's great Happy New Year with wonderful blessings on your new homestead
Thank you Joyce 😊! It's just how it worked out. We're glad we're here, but we are So looking forward to Spring! Your prices are much better for sure ! Thank you So much for watching 😌!
I missed the fireworks in my area this year. Thank you for sharing your fireworks display.🎇🎆
You're welcome 😊! Tim had fun doing it 😀!
Beautiful piece of property.
Thank you! We love it here.🙂
Was watching just before midnight. Happy New Year.
Thank you for watching! Happy New year!
Greetings Brenda and family! Glad everything is okay. Happy New Year!! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Thank you Jean! Yes, we're glad the water level went down! Happy new year! Thank you So much for watching ❤️🙏!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year 🎉🎊!
Happy new year to you two too ! ❤
Happy New Year 🎊🎉!
We can hear you both. What an adventure you're having. I remember when my ex and I moved on to our unimproved lot. When the wind blew, we chased everything that wasn't nailed down. We used a camping Porta potty until our septic was installed. Don't ask me how it happened. But hubby was burning our Christmas tree, and somehow, the porta potty fell in the fire and burned up. We installed the septic faster. Our turkey chicks stood out in the rain with their mouths open facing up in the rain. We didn't try raising turkeys again. All kinds of things happened, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
Merry Christmas. May your holiday be filled with joy and blessings.
Thank you 😊! We hope you had a wonderful Christmas 🎄!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too! ❤️🎄
6" of snow is still a lot of work!
Yes!
I loved it when you put them on top of your cookie platters too! (So I could steal one when delivering to neighbors 😂)
Very Sneaky Ashleigh 😏!
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas🎄
Merry Christmas to you too! ❤️🎄!
That looks yummy🧋
Yes, it is! Thank you So much for watching Fran!
Merry Christmas Brenda and family!! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Merry Christmas!
May this holiday season bring you two many blessings as you build your new life. Cheers
Merry Christmas! Thank you 🙏
I'm sorry your oven quit on you. I could eat every one of those cookies. I love cookies. Merry Christmas.
They are yummy 😋! Yes, the ignitor needed to be replaced. Luckily, this was at the end of the Christmas baking season in our previous home. Thank you So much for watching!
Great gift idea! I use lip balms all the time, but will now make this organic recipe for myself and family members. I like the idea of a tinted one with beet root too. Thanks Brenda!
You're welcome 😊! I hate having dry lips! I always keep some in stock year round. Thank you So much for watching!
Did you grease your round baking sheet pan?
Hi Andrea! No need to grease your cookie sheet pan.🎄
Hi Brenda..this has been a great cookie series! I like that the recipes are quick & easy. Thanks so much…Andrea🎄
I'm glad you are enjoying the series! Enjoy 😉! Thank you So much for watching!
You saved the day! My future son-in-law was just asking me about ginger cookies.
Greetings Brenda! Do you think this would work with coconut milk instead of the condensed dairy milk? I have some food sensitivities that I have to keep in mind. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Hi Jean! I am dairy free also. Regular coconut milk would be too watery. There is such a thing as sweetened condensed coconut milk that would work 😋. Thank you So much for watching 🙏 👀 ❤️!
@crookedriverhomestead I ended up using vanilla soy yogurt. It turned out good, but it didn't hold together. ♥️🙏
Magic Cookie bars bring back memories!!
My 2nd oldest sister and I used to make toffee all the time growing up. We both started baking in our early teens (for a family of 9). We also made a lot of French Toast. Merry Christmas.
Hi! French toast is delicious and great for feeding a lot of people 😋. Baking and cooking are great skills to have for sure. I'm sure it was helpful when raising a large family! Merry Christmas 🌲
Thanks Brenda! ♥️🙏
You're welcome Jean! Thank you So much for watching!
Delicious. That recipe is enough for the family. I'll make my own personal batch. Merry Christmas!
I seen this type of bark done before only someone had crushed candy cane to put on top, I think your version is very pleasing to the eye, I know in one of your videos you had mentioned being off the Gluten , I have Celiac, I am thinking of making this myself, if I cannot find any candy canes that are gluten free then I will make mine exactly this way cause if you can have them so can I ,lol
Hi! Yes, I am gluten free, Tim is not. Crushed peppermint would also be good. Great combination. Thank you So much for watching!
I enjoy these videos so so much. Your bark seems very easy and quick. Thanks a million for sharing!😋🎄
Hi! So glad you are enjoying the videos 🙂! The marble bark is easy and quick. Thank you So much for watching!
Looks yummy🎄
Easy and delicious 😋 🌲! Thank you So much for watching!
You didn't list how much chocolate you used in the description.
Oops! The recipe calls for one 10-12 oz bag of chocolate chips. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Have a great day 😀!
Thank you
You're welcome, Madeline 😊! Thank you So much for watching!
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you too AZ CANNER ❤️!
Thanks Brenda!! ♥️🙏
You're welcome Jean 🙂! Enjoy! Thanks for watching 👀!
I’ll be getting together with friends before Christmas and I’m going to make your Rocky Road and peanut butter fudge recipes to hand out. Once cut into pieces and boxed, is it best to store both types of fudge in the fridge? Thanks Brenda!
The peanut butter fudge is fine at room temperature. The rocky road gets a little soft. It does better if refrigerated before serving. Both will last longer refrigerated. Have fun with your friends. Thank you So much for watching!
@ Thanks Brenda! 🎄
One year, I asked my oldest sister for her fudge recipe. She didn't tell me the exact recipe and it didn't turn out the same way hers did when we both delivered the fudge to our Mom's house. Sisters. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas 🌲!
That looks really good. Have a great weekend.
I copied this recipe to make this week! 😋
Is there a GF flour you could substitute with?
I haven't done much experimenting with GF flours. I do blend arrowroot powder, coconut flour and tigernut flour to make my sweet potato biscuits 😋. I haven't tried it with this fudge but it might work 🤔. Thank you So much for watching!
Peanut butter fudge sounds really good too! 🥜😋
Perfect timing! I need a new cookie recipe to surprise the kids. And I like easy recipes too!🍪
Enjoy 😉! Thank you So much for watching 👀!
Looks really good. My food has to crunch, so I'll add nuts. Merry Christmas!
You could definitely add nuts! Merry Christmas to you as well ❤️!
I like chocolate drizzled on my popcorn.
Ooo, that sounds heavenly 😍!
We love making fresh popcorn!
One of my favorite snack foods! Does your fur child share popcorn with you? When my Etta James hears the pop corn popping, she comes running into the kitchen. 😂 I like just a little melted real butter on mine.🍿🧈
Mmmmm, melted butter 😁! Ellie loved it at first, but now she doesn't bother with it. I lost my clean up crew as I tend to drop a few kernels! Thank you So much for watching!
