We had 6 kids when I was growing up. My mom also made meals instead of cereal, pop tarts or even sandwiches for meals. Filled us up at mealtime because if did not we would be back 2 hours later hungry. Cheaper and better to just fill us up at mealtime. We lived on a farm and all worked outside or with housework so burned those calories!
I would love to see when you get your big meat order in, what you get, how you store it. Freezer organization, things like that. Thanks for sharing your day and your meals, love it!! ☀️☀️☀️
It didn’t take long, you had this Texas girl with sausage and gravy biscuits. Been watching your sister Lisa for a while and she mentioned you had a channel also…so yay! looking forward to your content😊
I also love garlic and onion in my food. My mother in law taught me to chop up onion and garlic in one of those small food choppers add a little salt and keep it in the fridge for a few days, just take it from there as you go. Makes my life easier since we add it to pretty much every meal.
So beautiful to see how gracefully and peacefully you go through your day. With a big family your day truly does revolve around the kitchen. How do you fit in homeschool? Also, you really get me hook, line, and sinker. I kept trying to find out why your husband and sisters think your crazy… bc you don’t drink coffee 😆
Inspiring video! Love all your recipe ideas. Just wondering, one day when you build your home what would be your must have's in a kitchen....will you have an island, a big open kitchen....you do so much cooking I imagine you have lots of ideas in your head. Thank you for a lovely video!
You are so right about making a meal being easier in some ways than convenience foods with a big family, and mine isn't nearly as big as yours. It also creates a lot less trash to cook from scratch. I live in the country and don't have trash service so we have to take ours to the dump ourselves. It makes you really notice how much useless packaging comes with the food. The boxes and inner bags for cereal and pop tarts, etc... would add up in my trash super fast. The wrapper from a pound of sausage, not so much. The flour bag holds several meals worth of flour in one bag. Same for the milk. Using produce has no trash since any scraps go to my chickens.
Came back to say that I tried your biscuits and they are delicious. And so easy ! I will definitely make them regularly. I didn’t even bother cutting them out into circles . I simply made the dough into a pie shape and cut them into triangles. Thanks for the great recipe .
Making food from scratch is so much healthier! No chemicals or preservatives. To use sustainably sourced food is dense and intense with nutrition. NO JUNK!!! 💚💚💚
I only drink decaf coffee and have started using Mt. Hagan instant decaf. Its amazing. Its freeze dried, not chemically processed. I love it. Makes great coffee fast!
I use tomato paste, brown sugar and Worcester sauce to top my meatloaf. It's so tangy, thick, and delicious! I love watching you cook. Helps me with meal ideas. If you try the topping let me know if you like it! Thank you for your wholesome content. May God Bless you and your family.
I’m a devoted viewer; your homemaking skills are inspiring. I know you’re pressed for time, but more specific details for your recipes would really be helpful for me. For example, I’m not really certain how to specifically recreate your meatloaf or the ground beef with vegetables and cheese sauce. (I admit, I’m a bit of a novice cook.) Thanks for all your fantastic videos!
We are headed to go camping up in the Sierra National Forest. It’s lots of work, but a great way to unplug ( no, cell service ) Biscuits and Gravy are up on the menu.🫶🏻☺️ Your food always looks amazing, Laura.👌🏻
Laura I love your videos! The recipes are so inspiring. Can you please tell me what baby carrier you are wearing? I saw another mom wearing it with the back straps crossed, because you can detach each strap with the clasp. Thank you to anyone who knows. :)
I am from Australia and we don’t have biscuits and gravy here so I find it interesting. We have biscuits but you guys call them cookies. We also have scones which I thinking is your biscuit. We normally have scones, sweet with jam an cream or you can make savoury ones too with veggies but I have never seen anything that resembles biscuit an gravy but do see it a lot on American utube. I might try and make it and see what we think 😊
Scones are different then biscuits. Scones have sugar in them and biscuits do not. I hope you try them. I have family in Scotland so understand about your yummy "biscuit" cookies!
My crew doesn’t get full off of boxed stuff! I see moods change when we do enjoy moments of “boxed treats” kinda hangry kids lol Real food happy kids ❤
Haha, I remember the days of washing ANYTHING from my lower cupboards before using because my littles thought they were the best toys...and I put a lot of time in the kitchen, so they played while I cooked.
My much younger brother would always use the stainless steel pots as drums and then go at it with the wooden spoons. He'd sit on the kitchen floor while we were cooking or trying to have a conversation.
I am with you on the garlic! I read a recipe that says two cloves of garlic and I'm like, "yeah, that's not nearly enough garlic!" Then I add like 6 cloves! 😅 My favorite meals are the ones when I walk away with garlic smell on my fingers! ❤
I think people forget that “easy” is a relative term. Boxed foods might be easier for some, while whipping up a quick meal is easier for others. When you’ve got a good amount of simple recipes mastered, it doesn’t really take long to pull them together. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! My son was recently diagnosed with a very bad case of Lyme disease and has been in and out of the hospital. The antibiotics he has to take are very, very intense and I’ve been looking into a good probiotic for kids he can start soon, it looks like Hiya has one.
I still always order biscuits & gravy if we ever go out to eat somewhere, which is rare, but it's the ultimate comfort food breakfast, for sure. Nothing beats homemade though, and your's looked so scrumptious! I've got a bunch of ground venison thawed, and wasn't quite sure what I was gonna make today. Maybe meatloaf is calling my name! 😊 Happy Friday!
Laura you cook scrumptious food your family is lucky mmm we don’t have the biscuits and gravy I would love to make it - always look forward to your videos ❤
Easy meals for smaller families are definitely not easy for larger families. I agree with cooking a meal is easier, less expensive and more filling for my family than the usual boxed stuff.
I love this! The tea looks and sounds AMAZING! I'll have to try that out soon!! Also- I noticed you fed your chicken potato skins?? We have chickens but I heard they are toxic to them?! Are they not!?! I would be happy to toss them to our flock if they indeed are safe!
I would love to see your meat orders. The diff Cuts and kinds you get. Your meals today look so good. Your dress was beautiful. Ty so much for sharing with us.
In breakfast sausage I skip onions and garlic. In general if they say 3 cloves I am with you…add 9 or 10. Nice you have your parents so close. No coffee for me either. Where are your kids? Can you tell m about why you wear a long skirt. Modest, comfort…😊
I make sausage gravy for my family but my korean husband eats his over brown rice! Bread hurts his tummy. I thought it was so funny at first but totally normal to me now.
I remember when I found your channel, I thought you were ‘copy catting’ Lisa. I thought we’ll she is even stealing her tone of voice, not sure how I found out you were sisters but I did.
I don’t drink coffee either, I always say I’m not an adult yet because I don’t drink coffee…to me it’s a catfish! It smells divine but doesn’t taste divine lol.
Also those who are judging for paper towels better be using cloth wipes instead of toilet paper 😂 cause what’s the difference?! Lol. Trees are a plant like the food we eat people. They can grow and be planted.
I'm a Mama of 5 and the reality is making homemade food is essential for us to afford to feed us all! I'm no where near as "homemade" as you are, but eating at home and like today for lunch we did bean burrito wraps. I made them not the frozen kind. And yep I know it's A LOT healthier then the alternative of eating out and convenience food. I do convenience food sometimes for a "treat" but it's not their everyday! LORD JESUS is KING of kings and LORD of lords!
I understand aprons protect your clothes, but if you wear it all day why not just have clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty? Asking really out of curiosity😊
To prevent the inner clothes from dust, dirt, spills, and debris during cooking, serving, cleaning, or performing creative tasks. They are also used for wiping your hands on as you prepare things.
Aprons are generally made out of sturdier fabric that can handle weekly laundering. And it's easy to remove a floury apron if company stops by or if I have to run an errand.
I don't worry about staining them as much because I don't wear them out of the house. Plus, I use them to wipe/dry my hands on while cooking. And I love the big deep pockets!
I eat a clean diet but don't like milk and cheese, don't you find your food is so greasey when using so much cheese in cooking? I couldn't help but notice it in the bottom of your last dish.
I always add garlic and onions to everything I make. I can't get enough!!!
We had 6 kids when I was growing up. My mom also made meals instead of cereal, pop tarts or even sandwiches for meals. Filled us up at mealtime because if did not we would be back 2 hours later hungry. Cheaper and better to just fill us up at mealtime.

I would love to see when you get your big meat order in, what you get, how you store it. Freezer organization, things like that. Thanks for sharing your day and your meals, love it!! ☀️☀️☀️
I would love to see a video on this too!
You make my heart sing! Thank you for making motherhood appealing... 39 years for me and I wouldn't trade these days for anything!
I always cook as I clean as well. I am one of 12, but I can't even imagine having 6. I have 2 kids who are grown, and that was enough for me!!
Homemade food is almost always healthier, cheaper and more delicious. I love how you share your meals.
It didn’t take long, you had this Texas girl with sausage and gravy biscuits. Been watching your sister Lisa for a while and she mentioned you had a channel also…so yay! looking forward to your content😊
I love coffee and tea. I have also had mornings that I don't have time to make either one.
I also love garlic and onion in my food.
My mother in law taught me to chop up onion and garlic in one of those small food choppers add a little salt and keep it in the fridge for a few days, just take it from there as you go. Makes my life easier since we add it to pretty much every meal.
Thanks for sharing! Great idea!
I love how you embrace your kitchen. The kitchen reflects the heart of a person. You are truly blessed.
Thank you so much! 😊

Where can i find massurements for the ingredients?
Love that sun room. Great extension of your home. Good space for the little ones.
What a joy you are to watch.
Thank you 😊
Making food from scratch is so much healthier! No chemicals or preservatives. To use sustainably sourced food is dense and intense with nutrition. NO JUNK!!! 💚💚💚
Wow Laura! I don't know how you do all that you do. Whew, you are an inspiration!
Delicious meals and ohhhh that tea I want to try! Love your skirt and apron combo. Have a great weekend!
It's so good!!
I only drink decaf coffee and have started using Mt. Hagan instant decaf. Its amazing. Its freeze dried, not chemically processed. I love it. Makes great coffee fast!
Love your videos and the cooking
Matcha organic tea...a truly health tea...that very good for your body❤
I use tomato paste, brown sugar and Worcester sauce to top my meatloaf. It's so tangy, thick, and delicious!
I love watching you cook. Helps me with meal ideas.
If you try the topping let me know if you like it!
Thank you for your wholesome content. May God Bless you and your family.
I find it funny that I have a house in need of cleaning but instead, I’m randomly watching you clean!
I’m a devoted viewer; your homemaking skills are inspiring. I know you’re pressed for time, but more specific details for your recipes would really be helpful for me.

That is awesome! Have a great time!
Would love to see your big meat (beef pork and chicken) order and what type of freezer you have to store everything.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video! Delicious looking food and tea🥰 thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!!
Laura I love your videos! The recipes are so inspiring. Can you please tell me what baby carrier you are wearing? I saw another mom wearing it with the back straps crossed, because you can detach each strap with the clasp. Thank you to anyone who knows. :)
My mom use to make a similar casserole but she added peas to it and a red sauce. I loved it and wax always a favorite.
I love love coffee and my husband loves tea. I mean this man grows his own tea and he loves the blog Daily Tea Time

Hope you enjoy!!
I always double garlic in my recipes. YUM.
Love the video and I'm team tea too.
My crew doesn’t get full off of boxed stuff! I see moods change when we do enjoy moments of “boxed treats” kinda hangry kids lol

Laura...love all you do!!!!you are such a beautiful and hard working mom!!!Brava👏👏👏👏....with love from Italy😍
Thank you so much!
I love your kitchen Laura.

Try chopped zucchini in the meatloaf too
Enjoy your videos so much! Do you have recipes for the meatloaf & casserole?
I just made those up as I went 😆
@@ouroilyhouse ok! That's fine😄 I often do a soup similar to the casserole. I can try to "wing it" and see how a casserole turns out! Thanks!
HAPPY FRIDAY Laura and family! STTB

Enjoyed the video. Apron is gorgeous and the tea looks so good.
Thanks so much!
Also not a coffee drinker ♥️ I don't like it at all 😬. Your channel is so sweet - thanks for sharing!!
Thank you! My son was recently diagnosed with a very bad case of Lyme disease and has been in and out of the hospital. The antibiotics he has to take are very, very intense and I’ve been looking into a good probiotic for kids he can start soon, it looks like Hiya has one.
Awww so sorry to hear that!!
Love this video you are such a great homemaker and mama. The flowers are so sweet x
Thank you so much! 😊

Love your skirt, looks so cool and comfortable while very feminine and pretty.
Thank you so much! I love it too!
Where’s your apron from?? It’s not the one linked below! (I checked 😉)
It is that one! 🤷🏼♀️😂
Mine is just really dirty lol
Is that a dog kennel around your garden? Can you link it?
I always love your clothes!
Thank you!! I linked them in the description box. 😊
Okay babe, safe trip and love you❤
Love your videos!!!
Glad you like them! Thank you!!
Laura you cook scrumptious food your family is lucky mmm we don’t have the biscuits and gravy I would love to make it - always look forward to your videos ❤
Thanks so much!
Your meatloaf meal looks so delicious! ❤
Biscuits and gravy is our favorite also:) I love your outfit! Do you have a link for the dress?
Thank you so much!!
Ahh I see the link, thank you!
Lovely food, pretty flowers, love your skirt and wonderful that you carry your baby as he sleeps.
Thank you so much!

@@ouroilyhouse thanks for this
Great video
Thanks!!
I switched to decaf last year, and I love not being dependent on caffeine for energy! Loved this video and the meal ideas.
I love this! The tea looks and sounds AMAZING! I'll have to try that out soon!! Also- I noticed you fed your chicken potato skins?? We have chickens but I heard they are toxic to them?! Are they not!?! I would be happy to toss them to our flock if they indeed are safe!
We have always gave them potato peels! 🤷🏼♀️

Plus home cooked real food keeps everyone more field then fast quick sugary things. My opinion.
Very true!!
Hi, I’d love the recipe for the casserole you made for dinner.
I'm 43 and a mum of 3 and I never drank coffee in my life. Tea for me, thank you very much.
Why do you call your site My Oily House?
❤❤❤❤
Wow! Your channel is eerily similar to Farmhouse on Boone. Could have sworn I was watching that.
Their sister's I think
We are sisters! 🥰
I remember when I found your channel, I thought you were ‘copy catting’ Lisa. I thought we’ll she is even stealing her tone of voice, not sure how I found out you were sisters but I did.
@@ouroilyhouse Oh wow! No wonder!! Lol!!
I don’t drink coffee either, I always say I’m not an adult yet because I don’t drink coffee…to me it’s a catfish! It smells divine but doesn’t taste divine lol.
You should paint your kitchen cabinets white, I bet it would make a huge difference. I Love your content!
Also those who are judging for paper towels better be using cloth wipes instead of toilet paper 😂 cause what’s the difference?! Lol. Trees are a plant like the food we eat people. They can grow and be planted.
Any leftover meatloaf is always so good in a sandwich too!
How is this a super food?

You used the same cloth for scrubbing your utensils and later used the same cloth for wiping your counter top near your sink. 😢
Don't painted the cabinet. Replace the conter tops and tiles
Laura, how many sisters do you have? I know Lisa. No brothers?
3 sisters!
@@ouroilyhouse That's nice!
I wondered this too, since she said sister in law!
And…. a lot more nutritious!
They turn into teenagers. Just wait!!
I eat a clean diet but don't like milk and cheese, don't you find your food is so greasey when using so much cheese in cooking? I couldn't help but notice it in the bottom of your last dish.
The more the better! 😆
@ouroilyhouse Same Girl, Same!!! I find that butter and home shred cheese has changed my blood work. Sounds nuts but natural food can do WONDERS.
