I could watch 100 videos on the row of you guys cooking, and I would be in one of my "happy places" every minute! Haha... Love them so much, keep them coming please!!!! xoxox
I agree, I can watch & watch, in my happy place. Inspires mee to cook 😋
Yes me too, always happy when there’s a new video!
The harvesting and cooking is my favorite but I really enjoy any video they put out😎👍🏼
Same, the cooking is my fave
@@civicracn Yeah, so do I, I love them all! But any time I see them cooking it just makes me extra happy 😂😊
Aaaaand now I’m hungry. It all looks so delish!
Will we be seeing some cooking on your channel when the build is finally finished ? :-)
@@shirleygraham9932 I hope so too.
I’m drooling 🤤
They all look delicious. That loaf of bread looked sooo good. I could of ate that right down. Like always look forward to your videos. Stay warm
Yeah I can’t watch one of their videos and not eat. It’s just cruel torture.
Calling it first. Simple Living Alaska will be at 1 million subscribers by the end of 2022!
I hope your right!
@@karenh.7086 I'm also that will happen 👍❤️ they really do come across as a very genuine, caring and thoughtful married couple, and having a great deal of passion for the things that they enjoy doing. I have no idea if all TH-cam channels are monetized but the aren't they very well should be, and of all the channels that l subscribe theirs may one of very few having such a huge following that isn't trying to selling merch, promoting a sponsor and I have very rarely seen any ads during their video. But if there was I'd be more than willing to watch if it helps supporting this channel. They are so deserving!
Absolutely love the cooking videos. Makes me hungry every time!
Same 🤤🤤
Your channel really is the best of everything. We have adventure, gardening, survival, fishing, cooking and all those beautiful views of wild Alaska. My favorite channel on TH-cam!
Another amazing episode of Simple Living Alaska: In the Kitchen with Eric and Arielle!
Though we have very different tastes in food, I love watching the process, the uniqueness of your recipes and the fabulous results of your creations! As I always say, "any of the lifestyle or cooking channels would be lucky to have you guys!" --Jessica from Florida 🌞
I just dragged my husband in to watch him make the pastrami. We are going to make it this weekend, looks incredible. It's not moose but venison, so nice to see new recipes and give me ideas. ☺
I have some grass fed beef we're going to use to make pastrami this weekend!
I wanna try that too! Also might try the moose(beef) Wellington one when I get brave some day.
@@thecrankyoldretiredlady5237 didn't that look delicious, I want to try that as well, I love your name lol ☺😊
@@stephanieb.741 LOL thanks. The beauty of retirement! Time to cook. :)
I love watching both of you two cook and bake!! Taking living off grid to a awesome level!! Bravo 👏👏 coming from a old country girl!!! Stay safe and warm!! 👍🫂❤️💙
That’s gotta be the easiest method for making puff pastry I’ve ever seen ! Definitely going to try it some day as it looked fab 👌 have you ever had stew and dumplings? Think it would be great for the moose meat too! Dumplings are really easy - basically half weight of fat to flour ratio. You can use any type of fat you like - some tallow and butter would be awesome. Season the flour with salt, pepper and herbs. Add the fat/s and work it in lightly until it forms a crumbly mixture. Add just enough cold water to bind everything together into a dough and form ping pong ball sized pieces from the dough. Drop the dough balls (dumplings we call them) in the stew and leave it all for about an hour. It’s awesome because as the dough cooks it absorbs the cooking liquids and flavors. Stew is normally any kind of beef or game meat in Scotland with seasonal veggies - it’s a hearty winter warmer dish 👌 I like to make a big batch and eat it for a few days normally 😅
Wow, that's all I can say. I enjoy the two of you showing everyone how you cook. I also like the fact that Eric helps with the cooking. You two are an awesome team. Thank you for the video's:)
I love your cooking videos. You both seem like huge foodies!! You’re both awesome cooks. I’d really like to see a video talking about your pets. Like, how and when you got them, ages, stuff they like/don’t like. I really like seeing the dogs and as a cat person, love when Pepper makes an appearance.
I love y'all.
Heading toward a mostly off-grid self sustaining existence in a MUCH warmer climate, it's great to see what you guys do with the limitations (AND ADVANTAGES) of where you live.
I REALLY like the cooking stuff, as a chef.
I love all your content but the cooking/recipe videos are just *chef kisses* - literally! Wish I could taste your happy creations. (P.S: I no longer buy paper towels because everytime I see them at the store, I just think of Ariel saying how it makes her sad using them and then throwing them away. Making an impact from one Alaskan to a Texan!)
Awe 😊💚
Puff pastry is no joke, looks like all your moose meals turned out! I love pozole but never once thought to use moose meat. Guess that’s going to happen this week ;) Fun and amazing vid as always, loved seeing your critters chilling out! At least the wind finally stopped!
I can’t believe you posted this... I was just out at our juniper bush wondering what could I do with my juniper berries??? I have deer and I need to make pastrami!!! Thanks guys!!! ❤️ y’all, Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’m so happy when watching your videos. Good job ^_^ From Bangkok, Thailand :)
That homemade kefir cheese 😍 Been debating if I wanted to start that adventure but you sold me today!
So worth it 🙂 we've been making kefir for 5 plus years when a coworker in Oregon gifted me the grains. You can "put it on hold" too.
I love your videos and I’ve been keeping a journal of your recipes and every single one I have made and I love them all. Last night I made your enchiladas and I used chicken and it was so amazing. Thank you so much for making my day with your video today 🥰
That Moose meat has such a beautiful deep color. These are certainly some 5 star recipes. I enjoy seeing you both and your ingredient swaps to make it work. Thank you for sharing.
My fave is when you share cooking videos! You’re videos are entertaining but also incredibly informative.
Would love to see you make some bread bowls for that stew, looks great :)
We’re just gonna add a little more wine because well “why not!”
Well said, well done, perfecto! My mouth is watering. Were you two professional chefs in your past lives? You both work together so well and you do everything perfectly, I’m so jealous. You have such an incredibly beautiful life in the most beautiful place in America
Honey child Eric, your cooking is great and amazing all you know, as for Arielle What enthusiasm I love she puts into her baking. You are truly both great mastering all sorts of dishes half of which I never even tried them, I will have to come and be your guest for dinner. 😘👍😘
You two are so good at filming your cooking adventures, not to mention cooking it. Everything looks wonderful and tasty, and give just enough prep airtime to allow a viewer to get how it’s done. Fantastic!
Oh yum. Rustic cooking at its best. I love how easy you guys make it all look. How many is wonderfully delicious when paired with the right ingredients. Kudos to you Eric .
Oh my good cooking! My stomach is growling after watching this. I miss eating moose, but trust me, I was never as inventive as y'all are! Love the flashes of the furry kids! ☮️ Peace and love 💜 from Kimberly in South Dakota 💙❤️
For those who are curious: Hominy is usually corn that has been nixtamalized with lime (slaked or pickling lime, a product of limestone, not citrus). Doing this releases the otherwise bound-up proteins & nutrients, especially niacin, that would otherwise not be digestible--if you don't get enough niacin in your diet, you get the disease pellagra. Corn "masa" as an ingredient usually means it has bee nixtamalized & is much more nutritious.
Lye (an alkaline precipitate of water through wood ashes) can also be used to nixtamalize corn, since it requires a strong alkaline solution to free up the nutrients in the corn. This was often done with the ashes from the fire used to parch the corn for long-term storage. The alkalinity would soften & cook the dried corn that was being rehydrated by indigenous nations across the Americas.
Of course, those that had access to limestone would use it as well. They would kiln (high-temperature cook) the limestone into quicklime, then slake it (rehydrate it with water--a very exothermic process that would naturally boil the water via chemical reactions) to make it safer to use. (This is the same lime that is used in making mortar, cement and concrete, btw, but done to food grade standards.)
Nixtamalized corn is a much more nutritious food product than raw corn, even if hominy corn tastes...different...from sweet corn cut fresh off the cob--you can still eat sweet corn, no problem, but for long-term storage, hominy or nixtamalized is healthier in the long run. One of the added benefits of nixtamalization is that the cornmeal or cornflour made from it actually holds together much better as a dough (which is where the term "masa" comes from) than if it isn't nixtamalized. And the dough made from freshly made hominy corn is the best in plasticity needed for shaping tortillas and so forth, since corn lacks the gluten that wheat, barley, rye, and so forth all have, the stuff that gives regular (wheat) flour its "stretch."
If you're going to make nixtamalized corn / hominy at home, please do your research thoroughly, and do the boiling in a very well-ventillated area, as the steam coming off the cooking pot will be caustic (alkaline) and not a pleasant thing to inhale or get in your eyes, to put it mildly.
Thank you for the interesting information, I'd never heard of hominy before
I love hominy! My Mother would cook it a lot when we were little.
Thank you but my Ancestors didn't use lime or lye in making our hominy. 🍀
@@OldWaysGardeningandPrepping True! Lime is simply the modern method most commonly used, and lye was second-most common in recent centuries, of all the methods that got recorded for widespread use & knowledge. I freely admit I'm not that familiar with other methods beyond those two. May I ask which methods your people used? I'd love to learn more!
Omg the pastrami sandwich looks to die for
Love how Eric is wearing the same shirt three days later lol that sandwich looked awesome!
He wears them for weeks, we both do! Too busy making food to do laundry 😁
I love the way you use everything, even snow.
As a chef, puff and Remoulade
Were the toughest items for me. I make a decent loaf of bread but Ariel's baking always awe's me. Stay safe n warm. Chef Scott
Great looking homemade meals Eric and Ariel
Watching you guys while I'm hungry is torture 😂. That sandwich looked so dang good.
Every time I watch your videos I have a huge smile on my face! Thank you for lifting my spirits early in the week as my 20 year old cat had to be put to sleep this past Saturday. I'm sad but smiling because of Arielle and Eric!
Love to watch your videos. You guys know your way around the kitchen. Y’all are such a lovely couple. Eric, you are pleasing to the eyes. Hubby and I are already looking forward to the next adventure.
I really like how authentic this channel is. Real people, acting normally instead of performing for a camera. It's very easy to watch, without getting fatigued. And the content is amazing in every way. I would love to live in a cabin, instead of in a city. Fishing any time I want? Hell yes.
Two of the most amazing and real cooks on TH-cam. Your passion for good food and how attainable you make recipes I have always considered beyond my capabilities has been an inspiration.
'Real' is the best word. No acting for the camera.
I watched the entire video and I love you guys... All great recipes and you guys are such wonderful, humble and loving couple.
That pastrami looks amazing!! I would love if you guys did a video on making that mustard! I'm growing Japanese red giant mustard for the first time and want to make mustard with it🤞. Sending love to ya!(all your recipes look awesome!)
That was awesome, love watching you guys. No matter what, ya always have fun.
Thanks
Now I'm hungry for dinner. Great video. Love how you manage to create fantastic dishes using the ingredients you have in your area. Also I enjoy your video production. You always manage to capture what it is you want your audience to be focused in on. Bravo!!
Cooking is my favorite part of your videos , gardening and preserving food are my second best . Thank you for all the knowledge and the entertainment .
Those dishes are all so beautiful! 👍🏻
ABSOLUTELY ❤ IT WHEN u guys cook. U r both amazing. Again, thank you for being apart of my life dream!!!!!!
I look forward to every episode you guys put out. The cooking is great!!! I love to see how you gather and harvest your food, from the garden and the forest to fishing and hunting. Thank you for letting us go with you on this journey. My favorite may just be the trips to the cabins.
You guys are so self sufficient. I’m amazed.
What a amazing job y’all did using everything you have on hand. I can’t believe how lean moose meat is no grease at all. Y’all made 5 delicious meals for sure. Enjoy your videos so much y’all are an awesome couple. Stay warm and safe. Lol
YAY! My favorite kind of videos :) I could just watch you guys stream your lives I just find you guys so interesting!! Lol. Thank you for sharing and making my crappy day a little better :)
Love all your content, but mostly the cooking, preserving and eating!
YES....I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YA. TKS FOR VIDEO AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK. LOVE FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
The lasange looks really good, raised on moose meat and its so strange that people dont know how it tastes 😁 great vid and thanks for your time you give us//SWEDEN
I don't know what moose meat tastes like because I live in Ohio. We don't have moose in this part of the country. I am curious about it and would like to try it. Does it have a gamey taste like white tail deer?
Hi! Fellow Swede here. Yes, but it is fairly accurate to describe moose meat as very close to beef and wouldn't describe it as gamey. I live in the South of Europe now and my husband hunts, but the gameyness that boar has here I never noticed in moose. Thinking about making pastrami from boar. I never thought about brining it for days like a Swedish Christmas ham, but it might actually be a very good solution using a brine like the one Eric made.
@@kaycampbell8532 I think I had deer once, but I don't remember what it was like. I bit ... sour, somehow? In my opinion moose isn't gamey. It is like beef but with a finer texture and since it's not fat like beef, it easily becomes very dry, almost crumbly.
No moose here in Australia 🦘
@@sandramarc4858 The "roos" better watch out though, lol , it'll put a spring in your step.
Watching you make that moose Wellington was awesome, very impressed! 👏
I did it again. Sent a comment before the video was done. Those meals look awesome. You two are great cooks and need to do a cookbook. Enjoy❤️
I love this channel! I found it a few months ago and have been totally binging it with my girlfriend.
We just feel so relaxed and at ease watching this channel. There's just truly something special about you guys.
Thank you so much, and I have so much respect for your guys' journey to Alaska. We want to do something like this, but we're scared ofc and don't have nearly the experience either. Idk if we ever will, but you guys continue to be a huge inspiration and a joy to watch. Thank you
What the heck, no smell -o-vision? Looks delicious. Thank you for sharing this video. Looking forward to more videos. Stay safe.
Y'all amazes me how talented you are with your meals and Thank you so much for sharing 💗 ☃️☃️🥰🥰❄❄🥶🥶🎁🎁🎁
Could seriously watch you guys all day long! I’ve never eaten any wild game, but I think I would try it if y’all cooked it. Looks amazing! Take care and God bless ❤️
Y'all are amazing!
All of your videos are fantastic but I have really enjoyed the last couple even more. Great content.
Y'all just keeping it real!👍🤙
Kay from Georgia.
ps: we usually don't get snow in the winter here in Augusta. We had a light covering and everyone gassed up, brought bread,milk and toilet paper 😂
Omg everything looks so delicious. This made me hungry, I’m going to go find something to munch on after watching your cooking video. Thank you for sharing.
I love watching your videos, I'll start from the beginning and watch them all and then repeat
I highly recommend radish sprouts for Mexican food. A little crunchiness still and the great heat of the radishes.
Omgosh, that is awesome. Look at the juice flowing. The bread too, it is beautiful, I ❤️ bread.
We were taking notes. I love hearty easy meals like this. ☺
The CLICK CLICK of your kitchen tongs just ooozes talent Eric .......luv it . Your clever . Cheers Jen from Queensland
Everything looked so delicious !
my favorite youtube channel! i will always watch every video, even though i don’t do anything you guys do. sending love from NY!
Yum!! I’m dying to make my own pastrami.
Awesome looking meals....now I'm hungry and have to make dinner. You guys made my Monday. What a great way to start my week watching your video. Have a great rest of the week.
Oh my goodness! Every dinner looked amazing! Have you ever made something you didn't like?
Maybe about five times ever, we aren't picky 🙂
I love the cooking and scenery episodes , Thankyou,you guys are doing a fine thing.
How in the world do you two stay so trim? Well I already had my dinner earlier, but now after watching all that I’m hungry again. Great video guys, I do enjoy the cooking videos. Jimmy
Great hardy recipes, meals. Love the way you clean the kitchen between shots, realy adds to video. Thanx, God bless.
Don't leave us hangin - what was your favorite? Amazing cooking you guys!
They were all our favorites this time around 😄
Really impressive. You’ve taken farm to table to a whole level. Moose Risotto and Wellington, that’s so clever and sophisticated! Yum!! - I want! :)
Just so ya know, pastrami has a specific type of salt in it. Not just kosher salt. It is typically one made for curing or a pink salt. This is what gives pastrami it’s pink interior color. Other than that, looks amazing
It’s called pink salt or curing salt, Prague powder #1. Also this isn’t pastrami, this is corned beef(moose), pastrami would be this, But smoked.
We don't use curing salt for short brines such as this one, we usually use kosher salt but yes 100% they are not the same 🙂
@@SimpleLivingAlaska try it smoked next time! Then it’s pastrami.
Corned beef, is what you made. But If you smoked it, and then steam it it becomes pastrami.
Love these cooking videos. I ❤️ when I get notifications of my favorite people on TH-cam. Omg you basically made Beef Wellington yum! Never had Moose meat. If I'm ever in Alaska I hope to try it
You guys cook some great looking food but I've always found it odd that you eat standing up so often. After all that effort I'd definitely want to get comfy to enjoy it.
It’s a good way they stay thin. Hard work, home cooking versus microwaved no effort junk, burning calories constantly!
They probably just do it for the video because there's better lighting where they're at and they have all their equipment set up in there.
Im sure they take a few sample bites and then sit down at the table/couch or something… but I have definitely had this thought as well lol I could never eat standing up.
@@angelamarie4137 that's what I'm thinking. We've also see them sit at the other cabin or maybe it was a public use ...I don't remember
Pretty sure they don't have much room for chairs to sit
Ohhh my all these dishes looks so amazing guys wow great job. GODBLESS you both
In Italy we usually use bechamel, parmesan and mozzarella in lasagna. With ragù or pesto
Really appreciate your time on these food shows!
YT showed food ads LOL; I couldn't wait to get back to watch your roast prepping because, of the information and it looked 100+ times better!
What a perfect lifestyle.
The wine tilt was great.
Have a great day.
It all looks delicious! At the end Arielle reminds me of a Cajun Chef named Justin Wilson that I use to watch many years back that would always add extra wine to his recipes he was making and then take a big drink for himself. He was so much fun to watch. Y’all are fun to watch too. Thanks for sharing!
my family and I have enjoyed your lives your kitchen and garden. Thank you for sharing.
All your meals look delicious!
I love all you pictures and videos. You live a beautiful blessed life!
You guys did it again. I'm now super hungry. Really fun to see you guys whip up creative dishes.
Oh my gosh I loved this, everything looks delish. Great job guys, hated to see it end.
So awesome guys. Thank you for the wonderful ideas. I’ve never made pastrami so that is definitely one for the near future. You guys rock!!🙂🙃😉
You make my old age so much more enjoyable. Just love watching you kids enjoying your life it so much fun going along with you ✋👵😊❤️❤️.
I just love watching y’all cook. You are both great cooks and I love your recipes they look delicious! Another great video from SLA!!! 👍🏽
That moose wellington looked amazing you two. mmm😋
This upload makes it better to deal with the strain on us nurses. Literally getting screwed out of a job and been crying all day. Thanks for the upload!
Watching you guys cook has starved me to death! I do enjoy the sound of recipes.
Great video guys!!! That pastrami looked incredible... love that brine you made!!
OMG I just found your channel and I'm already binging! Wow you guys make this food look so good....Greetings from Indiana and thanks for sharing your life with us!
OMG. Simple Gourmet Living Alaska! Your content is so good. Huge fan here. Love your subjects edits and attitude.
Nothing beats home cooking. You're both awesome cooks. 👨🍳👩🍳😂😂
Love your videos. The food you cook looks so delicious.You two make cooking such an enjoyment. Keep up your awesome videos.
😮 That looks delicious..
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great week you two..!!
Jamaican hominy porridge with sweet condensed milk is to die for! All your dishes looked so delicious! ❤️
Arielle and Eric love your channel. I'm new to it but I'm addicted to it please keep the videos coming. Alaska is so beautiful. Thank You for sharing from Wendy Bertie in Toronto Ontario Canada
As usual with your cooking videos, my tummy is growling up a storm! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I’ve been binge watching this channel for two days straight and I’m obsessed. You guys are absolutely phenomenal in everything that you do!!
I love the versatility in your filming. It cracks me up when one of you is the silent cameraman. I’m a very picky eater, but your food videos always make me want to try what you’re making.
