Welcome to my channel and thank you for taking the time to watch my attempt at real, living videos. Creating videos on TH-cam is on my 2024 short goal list. For years, I have been fascinated by how content creators produce their videos. I wanted to give it a try, but was always hesitant to do so. I kept saying, “One day, I will do it".
Well, this year is that "One Day".
With each entry, I will learn the skills required to make good videos. As I tread this digital water with an intrepid spirit, I appreciate your support and encouragement by your subscription. My end goal is to produce beautiful, practical and meaningful recordings for you, for my grandchildren and their children to enjoy. At the very least, this channel will bear the Autumn season of a life's journey.
Again, thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Thunderstorm Swept Through Our Little Garden
Out of all the amazing things I look through the windows to see at our garden, thunderstorms by far is the most unsettling but also the wonderment of its power of blowing things around and the lightning flashes and clashing roars! We had just put up a temporary covering over the plants due to the unusual high temp we have been experiencing and yesterday, out of the blue, a big thunderstorm hit.

Backyard Sweet Corn growth

It has been one of Hubby's garden dreams to have a block of corn. Not knowing much how the whole process will fan out, he planted a few rows in the block and as we watched them develope, we started to learn more about the growth stages. Corn are fascinating! The wind pollenating part especially. The hundreds of tiny pollen inside the anthers are just another amazement from His creation! We can'...
Garlic Harvest 2024 - No-Dig/Mel's Mix Soil

This is our third round growing our own backyard garlic. To say I am sold on this beautiful and health-bound crop is an understatement. We started with about $5 worth of organic garlic from Trader Joe's and planted our first 26 plants, which yielded enough for about 100 cloves for the second year, the rest is history. Here is half of the harvest of this year. Enjoy!
Late May in Our Small Garden / A Nursery Swing By Footage
มุมมอง 652 หลายเดือนก่อน
May always seems to be a very "fast" month, especially in the garden. After waiting what seems like an eternity we finally got some good weather but then, before we know it, we seem to have missed the planting window for some seeds. This year's Spring time also was much warmer. I probably would not have noticed it have we not been planting in the garden. It's good to have a record of the changi...

Spring is such a refreshing short window of time, especially this year. I am happy, however, to see the lengthening daylight. It feels so good to be doing things outside of the house once again! I even went thrifting, something I don't do as often these days. It was a fun mini excursion for sure. Enjoy!

We had such a nice weekend last week hanging around our backyard because the weather was extra pleasant. It's back to raining right now but all is well. Bed is prepped and we will be planting seeds this weekend. We always feel that urgency to plant something before May every year but May is really the best month to do so in our zone.

Organic Einkorn All Purpose Flour Sourdough Sandwich Loaves

Einkorn sandwich loaves can be challenging to bake due to the higher water content and less glutten structure of the flour. I remember loathing the whole process in my early Einkorn baking days.

Do you ever get animals trying to eat your food?
@@emmadanyale We had a (must be health conscious) vole ate two of our young garlic a few months ago, we haven't lost anything since the garden snake showed up. Quite interesting, really 🤔 We are happy to see that though. We had a deer roamed through our yard before the neighbor put up the fence and we saw a couple rabbits but apparently they were picky eaters and were not at all interesting to munch on the garlic or potatoes? We are grateful that the animals are leaving our plants alone, for the moment. At least 🙂
THE MUSIC IS WAY WAY TOO LOUD!!!! NOT NEEDED AT ALL !!!!
Music is the main medium I use for my videos mostly. All the other noises are "back ground" murmur, in a sense. Some TH-camrs use music as their background noise, I use music and typing as the forground emphasis. understanding this, I can tune down the volume if needed and just enjoy the video visually. However, your comment is noted and thank you for stopping by. Cheers!
That is a very satisfying sound 🤣
Hahaha! You have to be there for it...! 😆🧄🥰
Congrats on 100 followers!!!! 🎉
Thank you! I am grateful to have reached the first milestone! Praise the Lord! 🙌❤️
The salads you make always look amazing!
Thank you! We love salads here! 🥗 🥰
Nice recipe,. 😊Thanks for sharing very nicely My Friend,..📽Full watching here, I enjoy the view, 🎁sending my full Support for you,✈ Let's keep it up, 🔔Stay Connected , new friend is here 🤝
Thank you and welcome! This is our weekly salad 🥗 big but super filling and easy to digest! 🙂
Hi new subscriber here ❤ woooooow everything looks healthy.fresh and yummy 😋 thank you for the video ❤️
Welcome! We like freshly made meals here and I try to do that daily! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰😋
@@Beyondjustjen-mw7gt yeah 😋❤️
love a clean work space🥰😍
It's the best! I got so much done ever since the self challenge started. Hubby was most happy! Thank you for stopping by! 🥰
All of your dishes always look SO good! I need to get a meal category plan in place… I keep putting it off!
You can do it! It's super liberating to park our meal categories according to the seasons in our lives. Pick your most favorites for each night and you may feel as if you have regained your time and some brain space! 🥰
Your flowers are doing amazing! Good job on sticking to your challenge! Countertops are such a catchall area, at least for me.
Thank you! Yes, very grateful for the beautiful blooms! 😍 I completely got the "catch all" feeling of the countertop. Someone once said, changes come when one hits the wall. I guess that was my "wall" a few weeks back. 🙃
That book is beautiful! But talk to me about that pastaless lasagna (if it's one you can share that is!).
Thank you! I do love old books, especially ones with beautiful illustrations! 🥰 and the pastaless recipe is copy righted by THM! However, if you Google pastaless Lasagna I am sure something will appear. The main thing is not using the pasta, if that makes sense 😀🥰
Is the levain the Jovial recipe?
Yes! 🙂
Yes! 🙂
Another reason we were meant to be friends.....we boil our eggs the exact same way!!!! -Vera
Same brainwave huh? ❤️❤️❤️

So glad the video is helpful! Bake on, my friend! ❤️❤️❤️
Mannnn now I want a salad 🤤
Do it! It's one easy meal on the weekly menu! 🥰😋
Now that's a salad! Yummy!
Right?! Satisfying to the bonrs! 😋 Do you make House Salad? 🥰
@Beyondjustjen-mw7gt nothing like this! We love to use rotisserie Chicken in a bed of lettuce. Sometimes we add whatever veggies are available in the fridge.
@@emmadanyale I think as long as you have the protein and fiber in a salad meal, that's a win! 😋 I almost named this salad "a bit of this and a bit of that" because that's exactly what it is! Delicious and healthy! 😋🥰
Hi Jenny! I love all of your videos so far! You are doing such a great job, I am so proud of you! Those flowers you are referring to are on a bush called azalea. They are very common here and come in a wide variety of colors! Can't wait to see more of your videos! -Vera
Oh thank you for watching and letting me know the name of the pink flowers, Vera! The Azaleas are so pretty now that they finally bloomed! Feeling so blessed! :) More videos will come! :)
That is an impressive amount of spices!
Hahaha! That's what happened when you kept finding new recipes and seeing all the wonderful spices "protentials" in the store... lol!
I absolutely love your garden! It's so peaceful!
Thank you! 🥰 We had a good Yard Work day! 😍
If you are interested in cold fementing, here is how I do it: After I formed the dough from the shaggy mess or during what they call the bench proof, I moved the dough to the fridge, covered. Aftler 45 hours, I took it out and let it set on the countertop, out of the bowl, for 30ish minutes before forming it into eight bagel shapes, then let it rest 60 minutes more, covered with plastic and in the dark place before processing them through the boiling and baking parts. Hope this help. Happy Baking!
Beautiful! Bagels are on my list. I’m just getting the hang of working with einkorn. Where did you get your pretty green bowl scraper?
Thank you! You will love Einkorn once you get used to working with it! I got the dough scrapers from Amazon. Let me see if I can link it in the description box. Have a great day! :) PS. Just linked the scrapers in the description area. :)
Hi Jen! … I saw your channel now and I love it. I just started subscribing a minute ago ! Read your bio and I am so glad you finally started your own channel after wanting to do so for many years. Congratulations! I wish you a lovely journey and I’m looking forward to see more of your contents. Sending you my message all the way from Sweden.❤
Welcome, Greta! Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel ❤️ it's been a wonderful experience so far and I have learned so much about making YT videos (definitely not like home videos 😄) and about myself. Your encouragement all the way from Sweden is heartily appreciated! Cheers! ❤️
Looks delicious !
Can you give a recommendation of using yeast instead of the levain?
Carla's Einkorn book covers yeast baking as well. I personally like the sourdough starter because of the fermentation. I like food that are easy on my tummy. I also read it somewhere that yeast takes lesser time and may have a better rise. Have you baked with yeast?
That is one hearty breakfast!
Thank you! And it hit the spot just right, too! 🥰
Hi Jen ! I don't have. Einkorn flour . Can I use bread and whole wheat instead ? Thank you
I only use Einkorn for health reason but I have heard others use whole wheat to make sour dough bread items as well. Not sure about bread flour though. Also, the measurements of the ingredients may be a little different. A search would give you sufficient recipes to try your hand on WW flour. Thank you for your comment. 🙂
Those look absolutely delicious! But... what is that one fruit? I figured out blueberries and kiwi, but I can't figure out the other one.
Morning Jen! ( I think 🤔 as I’m in the states and unsure if you are!😅) I’m just about a third of the way through your video as I’m making a boule this morning and wanted to possibly deviate from Carla’s method of folding. My husband mentioned after my last Einkorn Boule “ deflate” in the after-bake rise 😄 to try the typical stretch and folds and there you are doing it!! I’m going back to the kitchen now after letting the dough have its initial rest/absorption time, and will try your method for the rest of the recipe! Hopefully it doesn’t make much difference in the fact that it’s Carla’s only AP Einkorn flour in my dough and I don’t have any wheat added. 😊Feel free to send along any other suggestions and I will surely let you know how it comes out!☺️
Hi Laura! Yes I am in the States! I think your Einkorn AP Boule should rise higher than if you only use the berries! I have tried that once. I used only the Einkotn berries and it was denser and did not rise as high. My family likes it best when I bake the Boule with only AP flour but I like a denser texture so we compromised by using the recipe of 200g Einkorn whole berries flour and 400g of Einkorn AP flour so everyone is happy! 😂 Please do share your bake! I'd love to see it! 🥰
@@Beyondjustjen-mw7gt Great! I will definitely!:)
I can see the signs of spring in your garden!
You can spot them! So awesome! We are getting seeds ready for our little garden! Nothing gives me more joy to see the yard comes back to life! 🙂
That is such a peaceful and cozy looking room! The small details on the curtain and the plants really added the perfect touch! One day I hope my bedroom can be peaceful but for now, it's a multipurpose room.
Thank you! ❤️ Yes, I know exactly what you mean by multipurpose - we lived like that for many years! 🙃 It's another reason we chose the smaller room as our bedroom so that there's not much room for anything else except for sleeping. 🥰
Lovely! Delicious looking! Loved the part how you shared how Christ redeems us. He molds us. 🙌💜 Never knew Bagles are put in water like this. So neat! Very peaceful video. Thanks for sharing. May have to try this soon. My question is do you mill your grain fresh?
Thank you, Rachel, for your encouraging comment! ❤️ I mill my Einkorn berries for part of my Boule baking (it is also on this channel). I have used home milled Einkorn flour for both the bagels and boules. They are a bit denser, which I don't mind at all. I bake the bagels with Einkorn AP flour because the family like them a bit softer. 🙂
Such a peaceful reading nook! So cozy
😑 'PromoSM'
The cookies look yummy! Just lovely, I love the tea set☺️
Such beautiful looking books! This makes me want to find some peaceful downtime.
My crack every time I put them into the boiling water then they cook wrong
Yes, after I turned off the heat source once the water is boiled, I lower two eggs at a time into the hot water, very gingerly and slowly. Whenever I got in a hurry, the shell cracked. I've learned to take time in that step and they work great! I hard-boil eggs daily so yeah I needed to make sure they work 100%. So far this method has worked well with the store-bought eggs. 🙂
I love making quesadillas at home! But I'm not nearly as good at flipping them over so I make halves at a time.
Yes! Flipping them in half is great, too! I used to do that when their appetite was smaller... 😉😍 I am working on an alternative to the flour tortilla so I can enjoy this as well! ❤️
How long would you say you were kneading for? 10/15min?
More like five minutes or less, generally. The sped up made it look like I was being rough. Gentle handling is vital in handling Einkorn, I have found. My goal has always been pick up all the loose flour and form it into a bit of a sticky ball consistency before proofing for the three hous.
I can’t wait to try this. It looks so good😍
Do it! One batch a week for a yummy practice! Your tummy and/or family will love you for it! 🥰 I now do this once or twice a week depending on the guys in the family's appetite. 🥰
So pretty!
Looks so good, I will def make these when I’m no longer “ lame”!!😄
@@Beyondjustjen-mw7gt I will be doing the same!!
Love this look back at your first month! It's really well put together!
Thank you! ❤️ It was fun to make now that I have discovered a host of fun features. I can't imagine how much more special features with a paid editing program! 😍
It was so fun seeing the highlights from the past month! Good job learning and growing!!
What a great job Jen and inspiring!! Your channel is really taking shape! You’ve done so well learning graphics (??) and design here. I’m plugging away at it with determination.😊. My injured finger has been in the way now for 5 days, but I’m doing what I can in the meantime and not letting it stop me, and still enjoying learning and sharing.🥰
Looks so yummy!!
Thank you and it was! ❤️
Another great one Jen! I’m loving making sourdough bread, only 2 months and I can’t imagine not making it now:). I helped my sister to achieve her starter- she called me today showing me that it had finally doubled and she’s thrilled! So much fun and wonderful to create healthy food with our hands.
Hi Jen! I was just discussing the whole resfreshing thing with my husband in contrast with making the levaine and you answered my question in this video, perfect timing and great video!!!☺️
What kind of oven do you have? Thank you for making this. Always need good ideas!
Excellent video. Appreciate the written instructions and looking forward to more bread making videos.
Thank you for watching! Yes, the Boule video is coming soon. It's taking a bit longer than I expected to edit. 🙂
