    Hello to you. I am a new subscriber. I am a 74 year old widow living in Southwest Louisiana. I recently was able to get raw milk on a weekly basis. Im actually making bread today with clabber instead of water. I absolutely enjoy your videos and am so admiring of your love for your family. God bless all of you.

    People laugh and it’s funny, but that literally is how you accidentally become a homesteader. The further you dive into taking care of your family and controlling your food, that’s where you end up (or desire to end up.)
    Ruth Ann, you sharing that you used to eat too much boxed cereal or that you still buy tortillas serves to make people feel like it doesn’t take perfection. It can often feel like the people we watch on TH-cam are inspirational, but so perfect that it’s out of reach or not realistic. But you show us that you’re like us. You’ve been there and you’ve just forged ahead to show us the way by the grace of God.

      Just take it one step at a time. Buy a few extra canned goods, get some rice and dried beans, it will keep you alive in a pinch. Save your money, make plans to protect yourself from the food rioting soon to begin, be extra careful in parking lots, never shop alone, and watch out for robbers. Don't be overwhelmed by bad times, be smart and take care of yourself.

      I agree. The inspiration that I’ve pulled from her has been life changing. My children LOVE this new mom in the kitchen. I find it to be a great break mentally and allows me to teach my “quick fix food, picky children” the opportunity to try new foods. I watched their pallets change and over time, their faces slimmed down, their bloated bellies settled, their attitudes changed. I’m serious, I never imagined I could do this. I’ll never ever forget the first time we took our children to a birthday dinner at a restaurant and they all said how salty everything was and couldn’t even eat. We recently moved and I got away from cooking because my new space is very small and multiple other factors but the kids are begging for the homemade foods back. They feel sluggish, tummy’s are aching, legs are aching, moods are bad. If my family can make this transition, anyone can. I have an autistic child and he only eats a very small selection of foods. Like for example, he only would eat sourdough toast in the morning. It took about 3-4 loaves of Ruth Ann’s sourdough loaf before his pallet changed and he no longer wanted store bought. ❤

      I used to run around barefoot in the summer as a kid and even ran on gravel. I miss doing that. She's worked that garden for years so there's probably not much in the soil to hurt her. I'm sure it feels good to have the earth under her feet. It's nice that she has a hose by the door to rinse off before going inside also.

    You are correct in everything I heard you say in this video. I have just learned that some of my food allergies may have been caused by a tick bite. It's called Alpha Gal Syndrome. However, most of my food allergies came from eating the same foods too often (from a medical doctor who specializes in allergies). When we were in LOCK-DOWN, I learned that I was wasting money by shopping for food too often each week. The stores put many items on display to tempt us into buying more than we need. I have learned that it is best for me to shop at the small food stores (that don't rearrange their shelves often and offer many more different items than I will ever need). The longer they can keep us in their stores the more money we will spend on items we don't need. A bigger store does not mean better foods. Go shopping with a list, stick to buying only what is on that list, and check-out of that store as quickly as possible.

    When I had my daughter 4 years ago I made all her baby food with fresh fruits and veggies. I stumbled upon a group about food dyes. There is a huge difference in our daughter if she eats dye or too much sugar. So we cut them out. We started making mostly everything from scratch. Our birthday cakes, bread, dough, snacks, bone broth, pesto, gravy, brownie mix etc. I learned to can and dehydate and freeze in season fruits and veggies. We trade hay for our neighbors beef. My husband trades his mechanic skills for eggs and veggies we don't grow. All of the homesteading channels have helped me so much. I make my own ranch with your recipe. I've used your pie dough and pumpkin recipe. And also make the homemade hot pockets. We don't eat cereal anymore. Now it's fruit or homemade oatmeal or eggs. We notice if we eat out we have low energy and we often feel sick that night or the next day. Foods I used to love I notice if I have some they taste gross
    We still buy tortillas, organic tortilla chips and small odds and ends.
    When we visit the Lancaster PA area several times a year, I stock up on flour, sugar, oats, spices, local cheese etc. The savings has been insane between bulk buying and from scratch

    My mom was from Europe and would not let us drink any colored drink. She called it colored junk. No, Hi-C, which we kids wanted. Nothing artificial, colored, preserved. They did organic gardening. Canning. I ate plain yogurt, with some cinnamon and a bit of sugar. I ate grated raw carrots with lemon juice and apple as a treat! We loved it. Then raw oatmeal with raisins and milk as cereal. I am almost 80!

    Really good talk. I was raised on a farm with no grocery stores in a tiny village. Because of that I see food differently. Additives in all our foods has become the norm and people are paying the price. Many European countries have banned additives that Americans consume daily.

    Ruthann I enjoyed your talk. We love tortillas too. When I was younger and was ready to have a baby I would roll a 10 lb bag of tortillas and I would freeze them a dozen bags. So that way I wouldn't have to make tortillas after I gave birth and just got to bond with the baby. I still do that now but we are retired folks. And now I just freeze five tortillas in a bag. Because it's just us two. We follow a lot of your bread making videos. I wish I could go back and raise my children all over again and have you as my mentor. Keep doing what you're doing. God bless.

    In the video where you are discussing the purpose of tonsils and how if they are swollen you have a build up of toxins makes me wonder about when I was little. My mom had to push the Drs to take mine out due to me having the equivalent of sleep apnea at 5 years old. She said I was suddenly stop breathing and sit up gasping for breath. It really makes you think that if our healthcare system looked more for the root cause over slapping a band-aid on the problem we might have fewer people chronically ill.

    Excellent!!!!! Bravo!!!!! When our son was attending pre-school at a private Lutheran church, they would serve hot dogs each Wednesday. I didn't want him to ingest anything with nitrites (this was 30 plus years ago before nitrite-free meats), and so I purchased all-natural hot dogs for him, and the cook was kind enough to make sure that he got what I had provided for him. Before you knew it, the other kids wanted to trade with him. I'll never forget the time that a stay-at-home mom whose son was friends with our son told him that he was invited for lunch at their home so that he could FINALLY have a nice hot home cooked meal. I had no choice but to have to work, yet I made sure that I cooked almost every dinner!

    Even though I’ve been cooking mostly from scratch for most of my marriage, this was so helpful and encouraging! I LOVED the ideas of “ change our thinking from ‘I need something different every day’ (my husband) to ‘This is good & nourishing to my body & I need a lot of this’. AND food doesn’t have to be a source of pleasure for EVERY meal or EVERY day! Have a special meal once a week and eat similar nourishing foods the rest of the time! That would make my job SOOO much easier!!!

    To me, the best take-away from this talk, and there were lot of really good things to glean, was at the end when you talked about the most important thing is your relationship with your family. Cooking from scratch is not a gateway to Heaven, I appreciate so much you saying that for all of the young mothers but really anyone who need to hear that - that your children's eternal salvation & relationship with God and their development are the most important thing. Even if it is not home made or the best homemade... so don't beat yourself up about it...if you have a relationship with your family you have not failed. What a wonderful thing to emphasize and even be the last words that you end your seminar with for ALL of the young mothers listening who really need to hear that specifically!! That is a blessing!!

    My husband started drinking organic instant coffee and his snappy attitude has lessoned. We are born again. Some things are sin but it exacerbated the issues. Praise God for his leading and my husband's transformation.

    I really love your videos and the content. Your use of the word intentional resonates within me and inspired me to name my new homestead.. The Intentional Homestead. I wish we could get cultivators like that here in South Africa.

    You always teach me something! I did not know the purpose for tonsils!😊I still have mine. (76 yrs old). I am horrified with all the food dyes etc. I watch kids (grands) consume those food and I cringe. God richly bless you and your family. ❤

    As a school teacher, I once had an opportunity to listen to an ADD/ADHD expert from Children's Hospital in Ft. Worth, Texas talk about a new book of his. I got a chance to talk with him, and his research conclusions were that before the diagnosis of ADD/ADHD, test for allergies to artificial preservatives, artificial flavors, corn, wheat and red dye #2 - basically the cereal and candy aisles of the grocery. Allergies to these compounds produce identical symptoms to ADD/ADHD. I passed this along to parents of kids who had hyper behavior and without red sodas and candies, returned to their stable behaviors.

    I so admire you and your wisdom, Ruthann. I liked what you said at the end about not beating yourself up if. I spent an afternoon canning tomatoes last weekend and I work a full time job, so we had store bought bread this week because knew I’d be tired and need to prioritize some rest time as well. Really enjoy your channel.

    Oh, how I wish I could see you in person at one of the homestead events but it's too far for me to travel. I always learn something from each of your videos, RuthAnn. I had no idea about the tonsils being the last filter to your brain! Wow! And SO many people in my day had them taken out (me included) (I'm 74 this year). In my old age I am trying to cook so much more from scratch and eat healthier. We moved out of the city to the country with some of our kids and now I'm in charge of a huge garden. I'm trying to get everyone to eat healthier (3 generations) and it's not easy, but now I know some of your tricks, lol. I started baking bread in the last year and I even bought a mill! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?!! With teachers like you, I am learning so much. Have a blessed week and thank you for being so inspiring.

    Thank you Ruth Ann. This was an awesome presentation. It has me thinking more about cooking from scratch. Im a 66-year-old widow. I rarely cook anymore because it's easier to eat out. My recent changes in my health are definitely related to the foods I'm consuming.
    So it's time for me to get back in the kitchen.
    I have to live a long life. My grandkids need me and i need them.
    Peace and Blessings to you and your family 💞💖💞

    I'm new to commenting but not new to watching. I love your videos! Well said, I am 64 yrs old and was one of 7 children. Mom cooked most everything from scratch, not breads, she wasn't a baker. 😊 Birthday cakes and banana bread were about it, but my eldest brother took over then when he left I did the baking. I often wonder what happened to home economics in public schools, it's where I got my love of baking and sewing from. Keep on doing what you are doing, it is a wonderful help for new learners! 👍

    I make the strawberry cream pie with pineapple or Peaches or blackberries. And I don't make a crust.
    The result is a creamy sorbet.
    It takes 5 minutes to make, I didn't have to wrestle the ice cream machine, and it's a low- calorie, after dinner treat.

    You are a great speaker: organized presentation, informative, and some humor thrown in! "Oh, there's milk. I need a milk cow." Cereal for Easter reminded me how I let my child pick a TV dinner once a year as a treat -- even though I didn't produce my own food, I tried to buy good ingredients and make recipes from scratch. Your channel has helped me to learn and dive deeper into cooking from scratch; my recipe box is full of recipes from RuthAnn! Thank you, and abundant blessings to you and your family.

    ❤ it!! Way to go!! I especially had to scale back during holidays. Yes, everyone enjoys meals made from scratch, but I found myself dreading holidays instead of enjoying them. I will prep some things in advance, but will not beat myself up for not making everything from scratch. It is so nice to enjoy time with family instead of being completely worn out.

    Thank you for working out a deal with Agri Supply! I have kicked myself over and over for not grabbing my dad's cultivator (and his Troy-Bilt tiller!) We get along, but that would be very nice, since I find myself doing more and more of the hard work in the garden😢 Your talk was fabulous, RuthAnn! I wish I had discovered what you did when my own eldest daughter was getting strep over and over. I figured out how to keep the other 2 from getting it, but she just kept going. She even had it in the summers! She never had tonsillitis enough times in a row for the go-ahead to do the surgery. But down the line, she developed scarletina, and later Mononucleosis, and now she has some unidentified autoimmune disease(s). Her youngest (also a girl) is now getting strep over and over. I'm going ro share this with her! Thanking God for you, RuthAnn!

    I cook from my garden and my home canned veggies, I am so glad I have a garden and have cut the cost on our grocery bill but even doing that today we bought pet food, and my hubbies vitamins , milk and creamer and toilet paper, we paid 198.00!! Holy cow! I told hubby we must start feeding these cats our left overs and I need to raise more meat chickens so we can cut our cost even more because I don’t think if cost go hire we can have the ability to have pets, that’s a extravagance that we in reality can’t afford, unless I raise more meat chickens so I can can up what can’t fit in our mid size chest freezer. I can’t be the only one struggling
