Should we tell Jessica that every single one of us is going to watch every single recipe she makes, even if it's a repeat? :D
That baby. 😍
And on repeat!
YES!
Yes! Yes we should.
♥️‼️🥰🙋♀️
Always a pleasure to see how you blend all your household chores, homeschooling, and feeding your family. You are truly an inspiration. Enjoy your Sunday.
We loved getting to see more of beautiful baby Hannah. She is precious. I love how the kids love spending time with her. Your kids are treasures and I'm sure you know this.
I don’t leave a lot of comments but I need to tell you what an inspiration you are to me. I’m a single mother of 4 children and I feel so overwhelmed and have no energy sometimes until I watch your videos. I always feel more motivated and inspired to get things done after I watch you. I love watching you with your family and I think if I only had to choose one TH-cam channel to watch the rest of my life, it would be yours. I get an education and entertainment at the same time. Thank you so much for what you do!
I keep a gallon ziplock bag in my freezer. Whenever I have the peels from carrots, the stems of celery, or the outer layer of an onion, instead of composting or tossing those I add them to the ziplock bag and store in the freezer. When the bag gets full, I use those scraps to make my broth. I also keep the bones, after simmering the broth, and dehydrate them in a low oven for a few hours. Once they are dry, put them in a gallon ziplock bag and store until spring. Then my kids break up those bones with a hammer and we till them into the garden (homemade bone meal!)
I'm 70 years old and I started using my pickled jalapeno juice in my egg salad about 20 years ago. I've never heard of anybody else who's done it that way except you now. Made me smile. I just used the chopped-up pickled jalapenos as well as some of the juice and cilantro and fresh chopped green onions and homemade mayo and some brown mustard salt and pepper. It's delicious. We use so much of our extra eggs that way. Once you start using the Pickled jalapeno juice you never go back. Blessings to you.🌿💛🌿
Baby Hannah (I believe that is how you spelled it) Is so sweet, as are all the children. It was fun watching all the children outside playing in the snow. I’m glad did got to join to too!
Love all the ideas for the “ unused beef,” I cook mine down and I turn mine into dog food to boost them in the winter months as well.
Blessings to you and the family.💕
With your leftover lemon rinds...you can toss them into a gallon of vinegar and let sit for a while. Then dilute and use as a multi-purpose cleaner. I sometimes add rosemary also.
Sounds great.
Thanks for sharing.
For my half beef I asked that all the organ meats be ground together. I used them for the protein ingredient in homemade dog food. It was enough for 6 months for 1 dog!
My grandmother helped me cook a beef heart when I was a young teen. We stuffed it with bread dressing, laid it on a bed of carrots, celery, and onions, and roasted it in the oven at 300 for about 3 or 4 hours. It was delicious!
Sounds amazing, have to try it!
That sounds great! I stuffed one a few years ago with mushrooms and herbs like in a Beef Wellington, I was pleasantly surprised by the meat.
I saw the other day a chef who grows his own foods took his garlic and put in a metal bowl then took another like size and put them together like a large ball….holding tightly he shook the garlic and almost all the skins came right off….worth a try.
Also one chef said to just put garlic into your veggie broth because you strain it anyway.
I think your children have a healthy amount of foods to pick from…..
I make beef tongue and the slice it up without telling my hubby what it is. He always refused to eat it even in a great onion mustard sauce but this time I shredded it and he thought he was eating a reg roast…lol The heart I usually dehydrate and make puppy treats and powder for soups. The liver I make mine by soaking the slices in milk, it tenderizes it then sauté in butter and onions….I also dehydrate the liver for added iron in recipes……
I wish my family that buys their beef would give me those and bones but they always say they forget…I even offered to pay for the packaging…I drink bone broth many times a week….
I enjoy how you use everything! More people need to learn this trick in life. So sweet watching your older children interact with little Hannah! She is so alert and interested in what is going on around her. She will be up and helping in no time!!!!
It’s absolutely beautiful how you use everything of a cow you grew that has had a better life than most people. It’s the Holy thing to do….❤
I was thinking the same thing. Anna In Ohio
I love the homemade jello idea. Also, you are almost at 100K subscribers! Thank you for all you share with us
Cleaning out the fridge on Saturdays on the farm would end up creating a pot full of what Grandma called "Must Go"....you were never really sure what was in there but it "must go"!
PRECIOUS little Hannah!! Thank you for still making time to post. Just know that YOU are a gift for teaching us.
I think you are the Queen of Homemaking! Unbelievable what you accomplish with such a busy home. Thank you for all the information you pass on to us!
Miss Hannah is thriving with the love and attention from her brothers and sisters. The other kids are growing up. Love watching them all help and work together.
Hello Jessica! I'm new to your channel and I love it! My mom had a family of six and made everything from scratch 3 meals per day. I never appreciated it until I became an adult and started cooking from scratch myself. It's wonderful to watch your entire family working together as a team to maintain your homestead. Thanks for the videos!
Baby Hanna is growing so quickly, she’s just beautiful as are all of your children. Love that you are such a dedicated momma to your family.
I was given a beef tongue last year about one week before your video about tongue. I cooked it according to your steps and once it was skinned it looked just like any other meat. I tasted and it really was good. Everyone ate it without me telling them what it was other than beef and everyone was amazed that they really enjoyed it after I told them what they had eaten. I'm so glad you included more 'rare' kinds of beef this time so I can learn and eat more. THANK YOU!!!!!
That baby boy is so precious . He is growing and love seeing THE THREE GUYS together.
I absolutely love when you use more homestead meats and items. We raise our own animals and trying to figure out how to use those cuts is a great motivation. Thank you!
The liver prep is the way my mom did it and it was wonderful. The only thing she did differently was soaking it in milk about an hour prior to cooking. That was to clear away some of the blood taste that a lot of people struggle with. Thanks for sharing!
My mom also soaked it in milk and it takes away that bitterness that is disliked by many.

A German friend soaked hers in the bottled lemon juice. It was delicious and my kids even liked it.
Good day!!! You must have some of the healthiest kids on earth!!!! What a blessing you and your family are. Thank you for this video. Gods blessings 🙏
I’m in Kentucky. My dad was born and raised in Ohio. I have a lot of family in Ohio. Piketon Ohio. Seeing your property in the beginning of this video reminds me so much of my grandparents farm. A lot of my favorite childhood memories came flooding back ! God Bless!
This bought back memories of my mom making oxtail soup with red lentils we all loved it, not had for years. Think I might have to give it a go.
My daddy used to make pig tail soup, it was one of my favourite meals.
I think I'm addicted to your channel, Jessica! Every video teaches me something new - how am I ever going to learn to do all the things that you can probably do in your sleep?
It took me years to learn it. You'll get there. This is nearly two decades of accumulated research, trial, and error!
I love your videos! You are guiding me through the challenge for the third year now. I find myself smiling most when you show your beautiful children. My favorite is the little dance with Gabe and Hanna at the end of your video
My dad loved all those extra cuts of meat, and he was a butcher. I learn something every time I watch your videos. We bought half a beef 3 years ago, and I ended up giving away those cuts I wasn't a fan of, like liver. Thanks, Jessica. I could watch your videos all day. Have a great week!!
You blow me away at how you are so diligent on not wasting anything & your consistency…
God surely has anointed you!!!
My Mom cooked up livers, heart and tongue. I ate everything except tongue. I just couldn’t get over that.
I really enjoy your videos when I get the time to watch them. As a busy mom who doesn't feel good or have the energy to cook most of the time, I find your easy and healthy recipes incredibly helpful! I'm sure it would be a lot of work but I would really enjoy a print out of your recipes :)
Can't express enough how much I appreciate your pantry challenge videos ♡
My uncle sends us lemons from his lemon tree. Just got them yesterday. Made a lemon meringue pie last night!
I wanted to share how I freeze my garlic, I process in the same way you do, but rather than freezing in portions I put it in a large zip lock bag. Squish is very flat, then freeze. Once frozen, it is easy to break small pieces off and saves all the mess of cleaning ice cube trays and muffin tins.
Oh that's a great idea.
I need to proceed my garlic but only have one tiny ice cube tray and a small freezer so was looking for something more practical so thank you very much for sharing 👍😊
I do the same. I use the same method for freezing my aloe vera and turmeric too.
@Cynthia Fisher I have never found the need to do that. It is very easy to break off however much you want.
Your liver looks real good and I don’t normally eat liver. My grandmother used to make beef tongue and we loved it. I used it to make my own baby food as the texture was perfect for 8-9 month old first eating beef. It made beautiful puréed beef. I love your heart any appreciated so much how you share with us all. You are a blessing!
I don't know how in the world you can cook so much food! I've watched your videos the last couple years and I still can't keep up with you. I get drowned by the dishes and then trying to cook every meal from scratch...props to you because I still haven't figured out how to successfully get food on the table every single meal. We are a homeschooling family and at the end of my pregnancy with baby #4!
I was raised as 1 of six girls growing up. I just love your videos! Only those raised in big families truly understand!❤️ Your family is always in my prayers……
I love seeing you use freeze-dried veggies. I just hooked upu freeze dryer last night and have only a few more minutes to go before the bread run is done. Then I'll start freeze drying my own veggies. So excited!
You will love it. We freeze dry so much.
I got mine in November and I have been running it non stop! I love what it can do!
@@cynthiahumphrey1718 I'm just giddy over it! I'm doing rice right now.
New subscriber here. This channel is BY FAR the best homesteading channel, every video is really enjoyable, you are such an inspiration, just incredible! I am in awe of your homemaking skills. I don't understand how you guys don't have millions of subcribers
Thank you for the encouragement ❤️
Your videos and your children are so sweet. Hannah is growing so fast. I am doing the challenge w you. I did buy chicken breast on a great sale and I canned it. I’ve also purchased one box of milk at Costco and some organic salad. It has been a very low spend month. I’ll continue with you through February. This is so motivating to use up older food. I have tons of coconut milk and frozen fruit. Will make ice cream!
As always I loved seeing all those nutritious meals you served to your family!
The soup looks amazing.
Baby Hannah is growing fast. May God Bless you and your family.
You are an amazing momma. Your children are beautiful, and the new baby is so precious. Thank you for who you are. Beautiful!,
Every spring, we would help my grandparents shear their sheep. As a younger child of about 10, I got to help pack the wool in small boxes, that made them into small bales. We would always have cow's tongue for lunch. I remember putting a lot of ketchup on mine, to get it down.
My husband and I got a cow butchered this year, for the first time. He wanted the liver, because his mom used to cook it once or twice a month, to help with her anemia and health. It's in our freezer, and I'm afraid to cook it, but maybe if we cut it thin, like yours, it won't be so bad!
I think I will be able to go all the way to April with the pantry challenge! My garden was very abundant last year and I put up a lot.
I love seeing everyone’s videos! Have a wonderful Sunday!!
Way to go 😊
Hi Jessica, Congratulations on reaching 100,000 subscribers!! I have so enjoyed your channel and all you teach. And best of all, you run one of the easiest pantry challenges around. You have been such an inspiration to me to really get into my pantry and start making lots of meals with what I already have on hand. I look forward to participating in more of your challenges. Thank you again for all you do and share here on TH-cam. You are a really bright spot in my day!! Love and God Bless, Mary
I absolutely look forward to your weekly videos! You always teach me something useful. Now when I have my beef processed I will not overlook the cuts you mentioned as I always think how wasteful it is! I wanted to let you know that I prepare my bone broth in a slowcooker... and cook at 180 degrees consistently because I believe it was "Mary's Nest" who indicated that the temperature of 180 degrees is ideal and most beneficial for the gelatin. Have a wonderful week. ❤️
You brought back a memory. My mother with fixed liver with onions in a gravy and serve it over grits oh that would be the best breakfast in the world.❤
I don’t eat animal products now, and have not for 15 years, but I actually loved the beef liver. My mum made it with a brown sauce and onions. I also loved beef tongue. In Norway we often have if for Christmas sliced up on bread.
Thank you for sharing!
Love and blessings from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴
Another fabulous video Jessica! I am continuing into the February pantry challenge as well. I can't wait to see what's next.
It is really wonderful to see your love and appreciation for your family. Here in South Africa we cook liver similar to the way you prepared it. We season our flour that we coat it in. Chicken feet is another delicacy, but our family has not tried it. Oxtail is normally prepared here as a stew over fire and slow cooked. Tongue is an amazing delicacy. We boil it and once peeled, cooled and then sliced. We serve it with various salads. Tongue is very popular at Christmas time here. Thank you for sharing your meal ideas and snacks with us.
A suggestion for the garlic would be to roast a bunch of the heads, squeeze into portions and freeze it similar to what you did but no peeling involved since you cook the whole head. Also, being able to cook your tortillas on a griddle (if available) would cut down on your time. Thanks for all the ideas!
I just love seeing the baby and how all of her siblings are so sweet with her 💕.
I grew up on organ meats - in a large family in the '40s & '50s. The prices of them have skyrocketed - almost cannot afford on a regular rotation. Today I made my favorite soup/gravy/beef base liquid - of a tongue, short ribs & oxtail cooked together. The gelatin these produce is unbelievable!
Some of my favorite meats are the organs and tongue. Growing up in a family of 10 we all “fought” over those pieces. However, in my husband and my household we eat wild game and while we enjoy all we harvest - there are times we miss the beef and pork organs. Our son, away at university, when he comes back on break regularly says how much he misses the home cooked meals. Even though I send him our home canned goods - it’s just not the same as sitting around the table with us. Thank you for sharing so many wonderful meals and family experiences.
Happy Sunday Funday to you and your family!!!! I pray you are all healthy and happy!!! Thanks for sharing every week with all of us! It takes a lot for you to do this, so again THANK YOU. Happy home church day Jessica!!💒🙏🏵🌹🌸
God Bless You Jessica ❤ We’re you brought up in this beautiful lifestyle? You know, you are gifted with so much, and how to learn to reach your goals on everything ❤ Did your mother and/or you grandmother, or great grandmother teach you all of these skills? I thank you for ALL that you have taught this 64 year YOUNG lady❤ 🌹🌸🌷🌺💐 Blessing from Green 🌱 Ohio 🌼 Adam and your children are VERY blessed to have you 🌸🌟✨
I just love your videos Jessica! 🦋🌻✝️You're such a wonderful inspiration with a boatload of information that is easy to follow . You are such a peaceful presence in this crazy world. I just love the recipes and just your boost of motivation you give!! I've followed your channel for a few years and I couldn't for the life of me😆 figure out who you remind me of and it finally dawned on me after church last Sunday watching your video...
I believe others would agree you are identical to the beautiful, younger Julianne Moore!!! 🌻🦋
Beautiful in and out !
Thank you for being such a blessing to us all ...I just love this channel rooted in love for family, faith and filled bellies !!
Blessings and peace from Pennsylvania farming village Brandonville!!
God bless you all!!!🦋🌻✝️
I have eaten all of those meats growing up on the farm. My Grandpa made the best oxtail soup. Such a precious baby girl who is loved by and has blessed so many. God's blessings.....🥰🥰🥰
Ohhh my mom used to make oxtail stew!!! It was amazing! You are taking me down memory lane today! ❤
I make oxtail in a « stew » form with tomatoes, leaks and spices ! In my house, we eat it with rice, it’s really good too ! I grew up eating oxtail and it’s one of my favorite cut !
Great video Jessica. I always love your videos, love seeing how frugal and non wasteful you are. I also love seeing your family. The kids are so great with the baby too. Thank you for making my day a little better ❄️🇨🇦❤️
The boys are rough and tumbly! 😂 That was a fantastic snowball fight!!
Hannah is a lucky little girl with all those big brothers and sisters to love on her. I enjoyed all the organ cut content😁
T u for sharing all your family with us. A much loved little girl. I thought the big boys were going to gang up on Adam with the snow. Lol all the meals looked delicious. A great encouraging video Ms. JESSICA. Have a blessed week. Always look forward to Sunday morning with the Ohio family. Please include everyone again. That baby loves all her family. Those little boys entertain each other.
You are an amazing person and mother! Such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your family and life with us ❤
Your family may also like Mexican style, pickled red onions. Sliced them paper, thin, marinade in lime juice, salt, and oregano. I would let it sit for about an hour so the juices are released and it makes a really beautiful pink color. You can drizzle the lime juice over your tacos and top them with the quick pickled onions.
Our mom always fixed the beef organ meats. If you didn’t like beef liver, she would fry you 2 slices of bacon. She also cooked the liver in bacon grease. I would slice into the heart to open up, add a bread stuffing, stuff, roll and bake on low heat. My grandma cooked the tongue the best.
I love your videos!!! Thank you so much!!
I love beef tongue tacos, in Spanish it's pronounced "leng-wa". It's so so delicious, I remember when I was little my dad would buy us tacos from the taco stand and I use to ask him "what kind of meat is this??" And he would tell me "oh its just regular cow meat" and then after I would eat them up he would tell me what cut of meat it was 🤣🤣
For future reference: lengua is pronounced len-gwah ❤️ Thanks for the advice on cooking these cuts! I have some beef tongue to cook up. I give the liver and heart to my dog to help cut down on my dog food bill.
This is such a great video!! I loved to see how you prepared your organ meats. We purchased a whole beef this year and told the butcher we wanted EVERYTHING! Last year I baked the tongue, sliced it and feed it to my dogs. My oldest son who Is now home from his service in the Coast Guard is a wonderful cook and he is excited to cook the cow tongue. I just didn't know better because it wasn't part of my upbringing. You are such a good mother and teacher for us. Thank you for helping your viewers in numerous ways that you will never know exist. I love watching your life! Thank you Jessica! ❤️
You are to be commended for promoting all these meats. I grew up on a farm and we used to say for pigs anyway you used it all but the squeal. 🐷
This one was very informative! Thanks for hitting on this topic ♥️
Great idea using celery leaves in your soups. I have to share that one of my favorite parts of celery are the leafy greens especially in the center. Lol I love the concentrated flavor that the leaves offer. In the past when I had a lot of leaves, I have dehydrated them and then powder them into celery powder along with my pieces of celery stalk.
I prefer the leaves too.
Your kids are so precious as they play with the new baby
That's awesome that you use your beef in so many ways. The smell of beef cooking, like making broth, browning ground beef, beef cooking in the oven,all make me incredibly sick to my stomach and trigger migraines. Idk why my body doesn't tolerate it. Anyone else battle similar sensitivities?
My family doesn't eat much beef, I just start eating meat again after a little more than 5 years. We enjoyed various parts of the cow, but it's not easy to find some parts where I live and some parts are just too expensive. I used to eat the tongue once every few years, but I've only cooked it once( I hate seeing it whole). The tail is a delightful and delicious Caribbean dish with butter beans, served on rice or rice and peas, with fresh or steamed veggies on the side. Beef liver is so delicious, and such a great source of iron.
I love how you put these foods together and get your little ones to eat their meat. My little ones eat almost everything, but I didn't eat most meat and veggies until I became an adult.
Great video!👍🏽👍🏽💖
Tacos de lengua (pronounced "LEN-GWAH") are delicious when cooked in salsa verde. Glad to see someone not grossed out by organ meats.
Also, the process of soaking corn in lye for masa is called nixtamalization and it breaks down the outer layer of corn so that more nutrients can be digested. It's a process that Mexico has been doing for centuries. When corn was brought back to Europe and became a cheap food source for the poor they soon stopped soaking the corn before eating and rampant malnutrition hit the poor classes.
Love your videos look forward to them every week and then watch them over and over. Please don’t ever call yourself lazy that is an adjective I would never use to describe you.
I just love my sunday morning's listening and learning from you and your family:)
You have the sweetest family! I love how creative you are with your food, and encouraging all your littles to eat healthy! I think you are amazing and I look forward to every video! You inspire me!
Liver and onions were a treat when I was growing up.
Beef heart and dressing was also a family favorite. Slow cooked in a clay pot in the oven all day. So goid!
Sooooo close to 100K - Congrats!
You are so creative with your food.
Awesome ideas Jessica!! Thank you for taking the time to share your life and family with us.
So much loved watching your family enjoy the snow, reminds me of when my kids were young. God bless you and your family!
My husband loves liver and onions. I make it similar but soak it in buttermilk… supposedly it takes some of that blood taste out. We us the drippings and onions and make a gravy, then put the liver back in and simmer for about 30 minutes. It is the best gravy ever! For those that don’t like liver, we make hamburger steaks and simmer in the same gravy. Serve over rice. So good.
Great video, Jessica! Love your beef recipes.♥️
Congratulations on 100,000!! I'm learning so much from you all!!
Thanks so much
Love watching your family.
LOVE your vlogs! Always so informative and I learn something new every time. And congratulations on the 100K subscribers!! ❤
I love that you're showing people on how to cook the cow tonge, heart, and liver they 're all yummy, as a middleeastern christians we eat the whole cow, nothing is wasted, the same apply for the lamb too.
Another thing you can do with the unusual parts if the cow is feed them to your dog. I add heart, tongue, liver, kidney, and spleen to my dogs food. As well as the raw bones. If you have it and don't want to eat it yourself, consider giving it to Rover lol. He will love it, and it's a myth that it will make them aggressive
Congratulations on 100k!!! Love your channel! So informative!
Thanks so much!!
You are such an inspiration to us. Your family is beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much!
Congrats on 100,000, so happy for you!
Nice seeing all the different things you made.
