Well I’m glad you included the pizza and cooking into the video because that’s my and a lot of others’ favorite parts of your videos. Just like the old homemaking videos.
And that is what I do 50% of my day.
You don’t need the self-help books because you aren’t broken and don’t need to be fixed. Now you can fill your shelves with books that inspire you.
It brings joy to my heart seeing you so happy with your writing and being a homemaker. I agree that one of the parents should stay home with the children. My prayer for you is to continue with your joy in the journey!
I freaken LOVE your channel! Your chats are always enjoyable-touring is always fun-but when you cook-well that just encourages me to take better care of my body and wallet. HOW LOVELY ARE YOU 🌹so well loved
Thank you so much!!
I so appreciate your videos. I was just diagnosed with mild to moderate AHDH on Monday (inattentive ADD now as an 40 year old adult female). I’ve had it my entire life, I just got very good at masking it and coping on my own. I forced myself to be still and quiet all while overthinking and doubting myself constantly. I was afraid of being judged or shamed for not being more focused or organized with my thoughts and things. I’ve had anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed from it, and have even shied away from people and social events. I tended to shop and overeat junk food for the dopamine hit my brain was looking for. There were tears after the diagnosis, but I also found it’s something that runs in our family. Through your videos, even before I was diagnosed, I was encouraged to exercise more, improve my diet and learning to be my authentic self and create a happy, cozy environment which I noticed improved my symptoms. Things like music, meditation, bubble baths and being out more in nature helped me feel centered and more creative (turns out those are some of the natural ways to manage what I have). I’m going to try natural methods to manage symptoms and hopefully not need medicine, although it’s good to know it’s there if I do need it. Your videos were already encouraging me to do things that helped! I feel a little grief and even anger at getting this diagnosis now as an adult female and not earlier, but that’s okay. Life is a journey. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how much of an encouragement and comfort you are. There have been a lot of tears the last few days, but I always feel joy and hope watching you. It feels so good to laugh and smile. I look forward to my cup of coffee and listening to you, sometimes while doing other chores or tasks which makes them much more enjoyable and doable. It motivates me to be myself and to be more authentic, and my therapist recommended that as one of the first things we are going to work on. Accepting who I am and not beating myself up over how my mind works, but learning how to accept it and even make it work for me. There’s always a light, no matter what’s going on, and you help so many of us see that. Thank you 🩵
Thank you so much for sharing that with all of us!! You may help someone else with this share. And I'm sure many of us are on the spectrum or have AHDH or ADHD. I'm sure I have a little bit of both and have been looking into it. I love a diagnosis because then I can enjoy who I am and not feel like the odd one out. I can learn to work with it and embrace it, have it work for me. You are not alone.
I feel you are describing a lot of my experience. I have isolated myself over the years because it’s easier in some ways. I, too, have felt not only a relief at making sense of things over the course of my life, yet a deep sadness as well. Wondering how my life could have been different had I been DX and helped. I could go on and on but I won’t. You are certainly not alone. 💙
No you are definitely not alone.
I too think I have had anxiety my entire life and at age 57 was hospitalized twice for severe anxiety (I could barely walk, had lost 25 lbs, and was a nervous and just sick wreck)…
I too enjoy your videos too Kate so much.
We are not alone. We are probably more normal than most .
Especially those who portray their picture perfect lives on social media.
Not reality I have come to realize
I am probably the healthiest I have been in my life at age 61 now.
Lots of exercise from walking, gardening, swimming, quiet time daily, and just blocking out all the negative things like the news as much as possible , yet staying informed about what is happening immediately around me.
Not in denial of anything, just tending to my own mental health for the first time in my life.
Hello to all from SC and thanks always Kate.💕😊🙏🏻😎🏝️
@@Crochetlady3-l1o Thank you for sharing your story! It helps others. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
I wasn’t able to stay home with my kids but I was a teacher at their school. We had the same schedule and same breaks. Now I care for my grands while my daughter and sil work. It is such a great blessing and joy. I consider myself a Christian and a feminist in many ways. This was a great video.
Valerie in SC
Just my 2 cents Kate, but you don't need an alter ego - you can be anything. A mom, a homemaker, a writer, and crazy lady, a soul seeker, a peace maker, a frugalist, a decorator, - ANYTHING!!!!!!! It is all inside you already! Don't change.
Crazy lady! I know this, thank you, it's just bringing those people out in full as you need them. For writing and acting, people love to have pen names and alter egos, I get it.
I’ve recently quit eating processed food and have gone plant based! It’s so much fun! Today I made cashew milk and cashew cheese and whole wheat tortillas. I even learned to make whole wheat sourdough bread and refried beans. Thank you for the inspiration!
@@tomikotomihewitt657 So healthy! I love it.
I’m sorry Cheryl. I thought I was posting to everyone. I didn’t realize I was commenting on just your comment.
The fact that those with lower income tend to eat more processed foods isn't necessarily because they are cheaper. It alao has to do with what people have access to. Farmer's markets and good grocery stores are limited in areas of high poverty. Research has shown for decades that those of lower income tend to live in food deserts where there isn't access to fresh foods. Sometimes the only place to shop is a convenience store or Dollar General.
That is true, thank you for the reminder and it is sad. Food deserts.
It’s not only food deserts, people don’t know how to cook from scratch anymore! Home Ec was taken out of schools as well as Civics, and Cursive, but that’s another story! Our young people are not being well-rounded in their education.
Loved the video! I always appreciate the book reviews. I joined a book club and sometimes I just have to appreciate that book club exposes me to books I wouldn’t read on my own. Some are like that and some I have really enjoyed. I’m getting ready for knee surgery and looking forward to reading more while I’m recuperating.
Hello dear Kate. I thought I was the only one who orders books from the library then I get them home and don't have any interest in reading them. I go in spurts with my reading it's usually all or nothing! Ha! Loved watching you make your tortillas. Hugs and love!
I return piles unread. Trying to cut back on that.
GOPHERS - Yellow wrapper juicyfruit gum. Unwrap , place one stick in each hole. They love the stuff and can not digest it. Gwen
Oh goodness, I don't have the heart. I'll let the snakes do the dirty work. Nature, you know. I have lots of snakes in my yard now.
Loved seeing you cook. This is a fast WW pizza dough recipe. 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt and 1 cup Self rising Flour and mix together. Makes a great fast pizza dough. Dust with flour and roll out. Make pizza as desired. Ill never buy a pre made pizza again. Saves so much money!
Premade pizzas are blah after you start making your own. Thank you for the recipe, sounds easy and great!
Love to watch you cook!
I ran out of store -bought tortillas making quesadillas for the grandkids and I remembered your recipe for tortillas. So good!!!
The homemade are so thick and chewy. Not great for wraps but delicious.
I just made some and they were so so good! Won’t go back to store bought EVER!
Sour dough starter is very easy, you just have to nurture it a little every day, and understand how it works. I just used a quart size canning jar and a paper towel, the flour and water. It's just a little bit of science. And once you get it started, you can keep it going on forever , as long as it doesn't spoil.
Hi Kate. I agree about staying home with the kids if one parent is able to. It's so incredibly important because it's their foundation for the rest of their lives. My mom stayed home with my sister and I and look how great I turned out! Lol, just kidding. Anyway, I think it's absolutely crucial that parents raise their own kids. That sounds so crazy when you say it out loud because parents should but unfortunately they don't. Most kids get raised by daycare, teachers and after school programs. It's sad really.
Yah, there's a lot of issues with olive oil dramas I've heard about also. The most important thing is to get 100% pure, extra virgin olive oil from one country or region for traceability and quality, in a glass bottle if possible also. I do what I can with my budget but 9 times out of 10, I can usually only afford the olive oil in a plastic container but I'm thankful for that at least. I love olive oil too much and couldn't imagine cooking without it. 😁👍
Have a great day today! 💗
And you turned out great.
@@CoffeeWithKate4 Ha ha, thanks!! 😁💗👍
Hello Kate ! Good to see you ! The pizza looks delicious!
I'm gonna wake up and read ! Great idea !
I started getting crazy in my 40s I went off the deep end .I'm 60 now and I'm finally content but different things now that I'm 60 .
That is me ! Just in my own little world with my family.
Reading and coffee in the morning is the best.
This is jennjun. Yum Pizza! Love all of your make from scratch cookbooks. I am just starting to do cook from scratch this summer. So far I made zucchini bread. I’ll check out Good and Cheap! See you on GoodReads. 🎉☕️🥖🍕
I had to smile when you called Ann Lamott "a good writer", I find her work spectacular! She has kept it real like no one else I know of. As a highly intelligent person, who was raised by bay area leftists, her insights are deep and unique, and inspiring.
It was so soothing to see you prepare the pizza. Yum! I really enjoyed the story about your interesting aunt.
There is a cook book that I must recommend to you if you don't already have it - The Guilt Free Gourmet - Griffin, Vicki B.; Griffin, Gina M.
It's been a favourite of mine for years and has so many good, clean, plant based recipes. Some meals, but a lot of sauces, cheeses, patties etc. which are so useful and good for freezing too, using really good basic ingredients.
I found it! Good thing you put the name of the author, because there are many GFG's but by another person. I put it in the cart. I'll think about it. It does look great, thank you!
My past self can relate to fast food being more affordable. Back then it was much cheaper to buy a cheeseburger or two from the value menu as a meal than buy the beef, cheese, buns, lettuce, tomato, onion & pickles at the store. Sorry but it was 🤷♀️ Super grateful things are better now and we can focus more on health & vitality.
Lol, you are right; there are some junk foods, mac and cheese, for example, that are more affordable, or the Dollar menu that doesn't exist anymore.
I make pizza dough out of 1 cup self rising flour I cup of nonfat yogurt mix kneed on light floured surface put in a pan spray with olive oil bake at 425 for 4 minute take out put sauce cheese and topping on then bake into oven for 12 more minutes and its done. Your recipe look good though.
LOVE my sourdough! It started me down the path of choosing better grains. Interesting recipes for using sourdough everywhere.
I just started making whole wheat sourdough. It’s so much fun and I’m sure it’s got to be better for us.
Where is Vlog 16 and 17? Went from 15 to 18 - don't want to miss any!!!!!!
Thank you! I need to renumber them. I deleted two because they were long, rambling talks that I felt would bore you all to death.
I am also not a science/maths person. The funny thing is, I married a scientist! He's so good at explaining things in an interesting way, he's made the whole subject much more appealing to me!
Hey kate love your videos. I have purchase some of your books love them. Take care.❤
Glad you like them!
Still watching today’s video and have another comment!
The coffee mug you are drinking out of , the red decorated Longsberger, doesn’t keep your drink hot at all.
I collected mostly the baskets for years, and sometimes the pottery.
I loved the bowls and should have kept them/mixing bowls are nice if ever find them at a thrift store, but the mugs just don’t hold the heat.
Pretty though! I had the green ones
I drink coffee pretty fast, so I never know if they keep the heat or not, lol.
I love my sourdough, bubbles. I learned everything about it from the channel Farmhouse on Boone . You can go to her blog, get tons of recipes, and videos on taking care of sourdough, shes very simple and no fuss. I make a sandwich bread and artisan bread each week. Also love her fermented vegetables, so healthy for you.
I just love all the homemade bread!
Kate, have you tried making vegan Mayo? It’s really amazing and this recipe is thick. You can use olive oil if you like the flavor of it. I’m WFPB and make my own condiments also. And vegan Mayo is CRAZY expensive now!
Ingredients
1/2 cup plain unsweetened soy milk
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or lemon or lime juice or white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup neutral flavored oil (avocado)
Instructions
Make sure all your ingredients are room temperature. If your milk is cold, you can microwave it for about 10 seconds.
Add the original soy milk, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, sea salt and mustard in a jar and stir together.
Pour the oil over the soy milk mixture. Let it sit for about a minute.
Place your immersion blender into the bottom of the jar. Blend and keep it firmly pressed against the bottom for about 15 seconds while the mixture emulsifies. Slowly move the blender up and down to properly blend and incorporate all the ingredients until thick and fully combined.
Taste and add/adjust any ingredients if needed. Place in a sealed jar in the fridge. It thickens up in the fridge even more.
Oh my goodness, I need to write this down!!
@@CoffeeWithKate4 ♥️
@ Kate Singh author ----
It's always good news when I get notified about a new video from you. And I especially enjoy watching these longer Vlogs. Thank you for sharing with us, Kate!
I hope you are doing well.
I'm so glad!
CoffeeWithKate4 ------ "🤗"
Hi Kate!
I recently started buying whole grain wheats so I can mill it myself. Also, I'm looking into sprouting my own grain too 😁
Those are some healthier choices you may want to look into for healthier ways of eating.
I should have said wheat berries 😊
Sounds great! We used to have wheat berries and a grinder. We had fun grinding, I think the grinder broke. I think about it often. I used to sprout seeds too and have been thinking about that too, so thank you for the reminder.
I hope your garden is doing well. When I lived in an apartment I had a plot at a community garden which had rats. I was fine sharing my tomatoes with them but what I didn’t like was the little bite out of this tomato a little bite out of another. If they would pick one and eat that one tomato!
I know! Stick with one fruit and don't contaminate everything.
The pizza looks so delicious! It was very helpful to learn that sourdough is the healthiest of the store-made breads and the olive oil is best too. Very useful to know! 😊
But you know to double check anything I say. I get wrong info sometimes.
@@CoffeeWithKate4 According to what I read, both are very good for you - which is good, because they are favorites!
Well Your World has the best granola recipe! And it can be bars too. No sugar and fast & easy!
I'll check it out, thank you! I love Well Your World. They have cookbooks I'm trying to refrain from buying.
I WISH I could find great items on the street. The only people that do that around here are, well, is me 🙂
Oh no! Time to explore other neighborhoods.
I’ve heard that homemade mayo is really easy and delicious
It looks easy.
I LOVE that book by Ben Howard. Cant find it anywhere except on Internet Archive.
I understand why people say it’s cheaper to eat processed foods but only if you live in a food desert. If you live in a community with sufficient grocery stores and you shop the SALES around the perimeter of the store one can eat very well! Even if you are on a special diet (outside of insisting to eat organic only). I am in AZ and this week skinless boneless chicken breast is 99 cent a pound. Mini watermelon and cantaloupe $1.49 ea. Broccoli and cauliflower $0.99 / lb. Kale, romaine etc1.99. Strawberries 1.29. And that’s just one store. We all know how cheap beans potatoes and rice are. Again, as long as you’re not in a food desert the choice is yours to buy food that will nourish or food that will cause harm. The issue I see most is that these are not convenience foods. We all need to learn some kitchen basics and be sure to teach them to our children.
Dig your chats Kate! Have a blessed day!
Edit: buy olive oil you can trace. A couple nice ones are Terra Delyssa and Terra Creta. You want a low acid level.
I live in AZ too. We find lot's of great deals on food when shopping at our local Costco. Aldi is another favorite. Stay cool
Thank you for the wonderful and insightful shares and thank you for the olive oil tip. I'm a little concerned because of all the rumors.
Those prices are a dream come true. Haven’t seen anything like that in NY.
@@JennyOSunshine I can’t imagine you have being in NY. But I can only assume prices out there also reflect what minimum wage is as well as what’s more available locally. Hopefully your climate is also more garden friendly and you may be able to give a go at that. Even if it’s in pots. I’ve tried in the desert but it’s just not in the cards for me anyway. Well let me refrain, I can grow a mean aloe or agave plant! 😂
Watching you make pizza and I am drooling 😊Have you ever had pineapple on your pizza? I find it delicious 👍
I love pineapple on pizza! Everyone in the family thinks it's unnatural.
K, I ordered these cook books you’re talking about 😂
How fun! I love new cookbooks. 📚
@@CoffeeWithKate4 I have an addiction to cookbooks.
Hmmm, maybe books in general 😂
Good afternoon ❤
Can we have your pizza crust recipe please?
It’s 2 cups warm water, TBSP yeast, TBSP salt, and 5 cups flour.
@@CoffeeWithKate4 thank you! And how long and temp please?
@@KL-tp3gq let's see, I bake pizza at 420 and anywhere from 10 to 18 minutes depending on how much you put on it and if you put two pizzas in at once. Start with 10 minutes and check. I roll the dough think so once the top and cheese is cooked it is usually done.
Are you related to a good Sam chemistry professor? You remind me of his ex for some reason lol. Do you live in Loveland ?
👏👏 👍👍💚
