The suggestion of a well stocked pantry is truly an important message. My brother in law is in his 20’s and asked me to make him a recipe book because my mother in law didn’t cook. I included a list of items I keep on hand and he talks often about how helpful that list has been. It’s so helpful having a stock so no matter what, you can put food in belly’s.
Great encouragement. As a homeschooling mom one of my goals was to teach skills but more importantly to teach my children HOW to learn (ask questions, use resources, be curious, etc) and to want to learn-whatever that is. Now that my birdies have flown the coop, I see them using the skill of knowing how to learn something being played out in their lives all the times. I consider that one of my best achievements.
I came from a large family as well. 9 kids and both my Mom and Dad were hard working. My mother was a stay home mom and she did all the cooking and she was a great cook. Foods back then were not filled with poison and additives like today. She showed us girls some cooking skills but she really didn’t have the time to teach us. We all had chores and helped keep the house clean and look after one another. We we not rich in material things but rich in LOVE 🥰 I wouldn’t change any of it. A stay home mom is key it is a hard but rewarding life choice.
Similar. 7 live children but had chores every day-even before school. We just did because we had to live! I wish everyone would have the experience to live on a farm for a week. I believe it would teach so much.
I've been married just over 17 years and my oldest is 15. I still have hardly any idea what I'm doing. My mother had severe depression when I was a young teenager and I didn't learn any homemaking skills due to that.
I think this is my favorite video of yours. I’ve felt behind since becoming a homemaker. Thanks for the reminder that it’s a process and not to compare myself to people who have been doing it for years. I’ve learned so much from your channel.
With 10 kids at home, I too didn't have a clue about homemaking when I first got married. I am so thankful that the Father taught me slowly and now my oldest daughters (20 and 18) are prepared to embrace the lifestyle as well. ♥
10:06 I started making square biscuits because it’s easier and I’m making the sausage, egg and cheese ( or whatever egg concoction) in a rectangular casserole dish to put in the biscuits anyway. It tastes exactly the same and saves me time.
You shared so much advice in your video today. I am an older mom now but I really enjoy watching your videos and learning from you. Your comment about not comparing yourself is so important in so many aspects of our lives. Thanks for reminding us of that and so many other things!!
I'm glad for the reminder to get good at a few things before branching out. I get overwhelmed watching homemakers online and seeing all the things I don't know how to do. I'm 34 and been married 15 years and am just learning all of this now, hopefully in time to teach my 11 year old so she doesn't struggle like I have. I'm thankful for your work and example. It's necessary when you don't have people in your life to learn from firsthand.
Thank you for making this video. It’s encouraging for those of us who didn’t grow up learning the life skills needed to run a home, etc. I appreciate your perspective and the advice to just focus on getting better at one thing before trying variations.
Great advice! Thank you! I’m 5 years married with two kids and find so much enjoyment and encouragement from your homemaking videos. This year I have finally started to feel a good rhythm with my homemaking journey.
I tell my daughters how fortunate they are to have the resources and technology available during their early years of motherhood and home making . I’m 51 and the library was my resource. My mother in law taught me how to properly clean a bathroom. After 33 years of marriage I’m finally getting it! I can’t even adequately describe how much Lisa’s channel has helped and encouraged me to hone in on my talents and skills. I agree so much with taking it one step at a time. Small wins build the confidence.
It was cute to see you count the bowls! I have been married for almost 45 years in March and always joke that my husband first asked if I could make gravy and when I said yes, then he asked to marry him! I have made a lot of gravy in my days! When I make birthday meals for my kids, most often gravy is involved. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you!!
So true! I grew up in a time that home economics was taught in public school. You would learn cooking, sewing and all things of the home. Sadly, today's teens don't know and don't have basic skills unless their parents made it a point to teach them.
I’m married 44 years! I remember calling my friends for advice on cooking, babies etc . I knew nothing! But I learned and embraced homemaking. I worked for many years but I still maintained an orderly home and always had family dinners on the table, now that I’m retired I’ve gotten back to my love of home making. Thank you Lisa for teaching me sourdough and inspiring me even after 44 married years❤
Yummy stuff as usual Lisa! With you and your daughter in the kitchen I bet it’s alittle tight, but you guys seem to work smoothly together . Thanks for your posts. Springs around the corner! A whole new world opens up at your new place!☺️😉♥️
I love this video. I moved to a new state at 18 and same as Lisa, my mother and father both love to cook and are amazing at it but I never learned much as a child. It was DIFFICULT to learn. It took A LOT of time and a lot of trial and error. Failing is the best way to learn especially in the kitchen. But through consistent curiosity and patience I have grown a lot as a homemaker. Thank you Lisa!
I wish I was raised this way. When I became a mom 4 years ago I knew nothing about keeping a home, cooking and organizing my time. I know have 3 children and although I still have a lot to learn, I now love cooking and baking almost everything from scratch and getting better every months at organizing my home. I will be teaching my kids from a young age so they don’t have to start from 0 when they become parents like I did.
Thank you for this, Lisa! I got married at 18 and I was raised by a single working mom. She didn’t have time or energy to teach me homemaking skills and, honestly, I didn’t much care to learn at the time. When I got married, I pretty much knew nothing about keeping a home. I was ok at baking cookies and that’s about it. Being on the autism spectrum and having ADHD made it pretty challenging to learn and keep up with things. It helped a lot when my oldest daughter got old enough to help me, somehow having help kept me on track more and teaching her a few things helped as well. Now that my kids are all up and out of the house, I find myself having a much harder time keeping to a good schedule. Because of some health issues, I fell way behind on cleaning, so I finally broke down and hired some cleaners for a few months, something I thought I would never do. It helped get me back on track so much! I highly recommend it if a person just can’t get things accomplished. I even learned things from them, after being a homemaker for 50 years!
Excellent and practical lessons! When I was first married, decades ago, my husband liked hanging out in the kitchen with me as I cooked. But he did admit that sometimes the results made him dread eating. I could never leave the food alone-always experimenting and running in all directions. I did learn eventually, as you recommend, to focus and practice a few things, rather than flitting around .
It helps to stock your refrigerator and pantry with the basics to cook simple homemade food. Also love your point about repetition. We are all blessed now with TH-cam’s to teach us many things. Thanks for your video. ❤
Wonderful tips! I needed to see this. I’ve been taking baby steps into improving my homemaking and finally starting to feel a little better about my cooking.
God has used your simple channel to transform my life, how I cook, how I raise my kids...I went from struggling with and, even sometimes hating, motherhood to embracing the beauty of it just from watching your example. Not to mention all the practical homemaking skills that I now pass on to friends and family. It's ridiculous how I'm tearing up writing this right now but I am so thankful you say "yes" to Jesus. God has used your faithful example to radically change me. I know you don't know me from Adam, but I really think of you as a dear friend and mentor. Blessings on you, friend!
And God is teaching me to be a homemaker thru YOU! My mom had a distant mother and so she never learned how to be a homemaker...which I meant I never learned. Your channel has really deeply changed me!
My mom used a Better Homes and Garden cookbook and that’s what I have. It’s a tried and true book with so much information. I recommend getting an older version and a new version.
I’ve been married almost 40 years, & I’m still learning about homemaking, especially from the younger generation. I wish I knew these things when I was younger & had more energy! 😂 My mom was a single mom who worked all day & was too tired to cook or clean when she got home. We ate a lot of “TV dinners.” I bought all the things to start my sourdough journey. I’ve been trying to get better at basic whole wheat sourdough sandwich bread. I just sold the Dutch oven I never used, because I decided I didn’t need the fancy, round, beautiful boules. We eat bread mostly for sandwiches or toast. I was going to try cinnamon raisin sourdough bagels recently, but decided cinnamon raisin bread would be much easier! It’s delicious! Thanks for sharing what you’re still learning! 😊❤
Thank you so much for sharing your life. Yes I can see you grew up fast. You’re a good mom. Good housewife you are above everything. I am enjoy. Take care and be healthy. You and your family as well.❤
I am now 55, my kids are grown, and I have a precious granddaughter! We will celebrate our 30th anniversary. I thank God each day to be fortunate enough to be at home with my children. My son is a certified mechanic and my daughter just received her masters! We are currently awaiting her wedding in April! While we’re not rich in money, we are so very rich and blessed! Keep at it! It is an amazing accomplishment to me. And it pays off in so many ways!
At culinary school and then working at a restaurant, they would call it “stealing with your eyes”. No chef ever gave out their secrets to the best whatever recipe it is but you were expected to learn it anyway. Whether By Trial and error and by watching and studying what they did. I always had a notebook in the kitchen to quickly write down any tips/tricks I discovered. I’ve taken the same concept now that I’m a stay at home mom without realizing it by habit and it’s amazing how much one can learn on their own like that even outside the kitchen. 😅
I love everything homemade and home grown. My family has grown into in-laws and grandchildren and I think I enjoy cooking for them even more. I especially love watching your videos and seeing your love for cooking for your family. It shows. I especially like seeing you use your hands to mix or add ingredients. That’s just real cooking. 😂. You are an encouragement to young women.
Just the intro really speaks to me because I'm a from scratch homemaker myself... Didn't see great examples of keeping the home put together or clean or how to cook and have taught it all to myself throughout my 20s. Now at 30 with my third kid on the way I feel like I'm finally starting to get the hang of things and it's definitely an ongoing learning process
Thank you for this video. On Monday made 19 years of being married. This hits home as I want to be a better homemaker to my husband and daugther it a little hard since am a full time worker and live about 1 hour on a good day. But taking these tips to prep the night before so once we get home we have a nice homemade meal. Thank you again and have a blessed day
❤ I think sourdough made in Dutch ovens is overrated. I’ve done it that way for 15 years and it’s beautiful but it’s not practical. The slices are huge and normally I cut them in half with sometimes the other half sitting around going bad. All that said, sourdough in loaf pans is awesome. You get more crunchy crust which is the favorite part in my family. Don’t feel bad if you make loaves. They are fantastic. Great advice in this video ❤
It took me several years to realize I might as well have more sausage and ground beef processed. My poor husband was having to do it with cuts of meat from our hog and heifer. I wanted all the things but I just don’t consistently use all the things.
Thank you for encouraging woman to be keepers at home 🏡, is much need it so much in this times when the world is distracting woman with careers that don't matter. Serving our families us the best and very rejoicing ❤❤ You look really good and skinnier
Loved watching you count the bowls to make sure you had the right amount. lol. I've been married for 36 years, and I still feel like I continue to learn. I've always loved making bread. I don't make sourdough currently, but I have in the past. I've been making and eating only my homemade bread now for over a year and I won't go back. I also make the hamburger, and any kind of buns needed as well as homemade tortillas. Like you, I totally remember having to call my mom and ask her how to cook things, like a simple hot dog because I didn't have a microwave at first lol. The one thing that my mom and Grandma were great at was making homemade noodles...but me, not so much. I want that to be something I master this year.
It’s important to remember that it takes 10,000 hours to truly master something… and I find often I’ve developed a life changing skill in several thousand hours. It may not happen right away, but everything comes together with practice if you pay attention and learn from your mistakes as you put in the time
When a friend of mine got married she was quite nervous about her cooking skills, because she didn't really know how as she'd never lived independently from her parents and found her now mother-in-law's encouragement a consolation because she didn't know how to cook either when she first got married. There's no shame in it. We all had to start somewhere, and its ok to ask for help, whatever it is you are doing: cooking, sewing, how to clean your house, planting a garden, growing vegetables, etc. When it comes to cooking, in particular, there is a British chef called Delia Smith and one of her early books 'How to cook' begins with a very simple thing: how to boil an egg. Thank God she did think to include that, because not everyone has or had someone to teach them.
My mom was very set on learning me homemaking skills so I learned how to do laundry and such things and when I was 7 I went to cooking lessons. I wanted that myself. So I've been cooking for 33 years of with almost 20 in my own home. But even I called my mom in the beginning. And certain skills I'm not good. I'm only now getting into preserving and really gardening. Unfortunately my grandmother's are no longer here as they used to do that. Your never too old to learn and as every house is different comparing brings you nowhere. Inspiration yes, but not the feeling you need to compete with others.
I love this philosophy. I've learned so much by just trial and error and repetition. My parents died when I was a kid so I learned everything I know through mynown experiences. And just diving in and doing stuff fearlessly, and sometimes fearfully, has illuminated my own hidden talents! And to this day there is nothing of which I am aware that I cannot do. You have a wonderful family and channel. Lots of love from south africa 😊❤
Same boat here sis! I couldn't wash laundry or cook when I turned out of my house. I made your hawiian rolls regularly, they just popped outta the oven 3 hours ago. I still have to look up temps and times for my regular recipes I love. I taught myself to cook in my late 20's and in my late 30's I started homesteading in the burbs and shopped out of my pantry. I now homestead with gardens for us and our animals. I try to not buy anything pre-made and when I get a kitchen aid and pasta attachment, I should be done with those grocery store.
Such a good episode! I was not taught how to cook and entered marriage knowing how to scramble an egg and make grilled cheese😂 My mother-in-law often made fun of me but I kept on cooking. Some were flops and some were edible🤣I read many, many cooking magazines while nursing babies and scoured cookbooks and kept trying and learning. Experience is the best teacher. We now have 8 children and a large garden, cooking was always a passion and only grew the more I tried. All of your tips are spot on!❤️
At nearly 75, I’m probably way older than most of your viewers. I was the oldest in a family with 5 kids. In the words of a childhood friend, my mom was the mom everyone wanted to have. She was a fabulous cook and kept an immaculate home. She sewed just about everything we wore, using fabric from old clothing. We all had chores from an early age. Although I watched my mom cook, I was never interested until I married myself. Even before it was “cool” I preferred not to use convenience foods. As my own kids came along, my goal was to nurture their growing bodies with only the most nutritious foods…no junk. I never had a daughter, but one of my sons is a fabulous cook. I did teach my daughter in law and granddaughter how to sew. So much fun! My refrigerator looks like a laboratory experiment with fermentations of every kind: sourdough, yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kombucha. It just feels right. Your videos are always so serene and calming, but I’m pretty sure your life is hectic. I greatly admire young women like you who just go for it. You are REALLY something special, Lisa!
I bought your sourdough book and I absolutely love it! Very informative and the recipes are spot on and failproof! I am branching out into milling my own grains if I am milling hard white wheat berries, are the measurements the same in grams for the AP flour? Do I need to adjust the amount of water? I know there are some differences and you have been doing a lot of milling in your recipes lately. Thank you!
So far, measurements have been the same if I make adjustments it is usually like increasing the honey or adding an egg if it needs it but I go by feel on that....
What would you say are a couple of the most important homemaker skills to work on? I like the idea of working to master one thing and then expanding beyond that
A quick internet search when I was wondering this brought me to a great website with a breakdown, how to calculate the cost per lb (when you're given hanging weight). Our 1/2 hogs have varied greatly in size
We LOVE pork hocks! Look up a German Oktoberfest recipe for them, they are crispy and delicious. Basically boil with some spices 1.5hrs then bake for 1.5 hrs and they are great. I save them til I have a few to do at once because I could eat a whole hock 😂
Women would feel so much more confident if they got off of Instagram…. I’ve been off of Instagram since 2021, and I will never ever go back. I have so much more peace, confidence, and wholeness in my life without it. I desperately wish more women could experience that freedom.
We still have ours in case we need it but do have an under sink filter...you can buy filters that work for the Berkey that I have a link for if you need it...
@@FarmhouseonBoone I just ordered a Berkey finally. I’ve been wanting one for so long! I figured you had something under the sink since you like to keep the counters free of clutter. Thank you I’m a huge fan!❤️
Hi there! I don't plan on making everything from scratch and no processed anything, we are healthier but not extreme cause I'm still new and learning. I've never made bread (just muffin box stuff) or pizza from scratch before and wondering which one I should start off 1st to try? Bread or pizza dough? Maybe grain, idk anything about sourdough besides so many youtube moms do it now lol thank you

What a wonderful idea ❤
Can you share the list?
I love how you’ve been ending the videos with a few minutes of music and visuals. It’s so calming and relaxing and beautiful way to end it❤
When you have no idea where to start…you watch Lisa and her sisters and get a great overview of it all!❤
Great encouragement. As a homeschooling mom one of my goals was to teach skills but more importantly to teach my children HOW to learn (ask questions, use resources, be curious, etc) and to want to learn-whatever that is.

All of us start from a different spot and thats ok....take it as slow as you need and try mastering one thing before moving on to the next
Thank you, it is very helpful for me, too.@@FarmhouseonBoone
What beautiful eyes you have dear. You are a wonder in your home, how blessed your family are to have you.

Sometimes recognizing your stuck and doing what you need to do to get unstuck is just so wise...sounds like you found what you needed!

Didn't see great examples of keeping the home put together or clean or how to cook and have taught it all to myself throughout my 20s. Now at 30 with my third kid on the way I feel like I'm finally starting to get the hang of things and it's definitely an ongoing learning process
It is but definitely worth the effort!
Thank you for this video. On Monday made 19 years of being married. This hits home as I want to be a better homemaker to my husband and daugther it a little hard since am a full time worker and live about 1 hour on a good day. But taking these tips to prep the night before so once we get home we have a nice homemade meal. Thank you again and have a blessed day
I'm so glad the video resonated with you. Happy Anniversary!
@ aww thank you Lisa!
I grew up with my grandparents I had to work in the garden everyday and learn to can and freeze. We made blankets
❤ I think sourdough made in Dutch ovens is overrated. I’ve done it that way for 15 years and it’s beautiful but it’s not practical. The slices are huge and normally I cut them in half with sometimes the other half sitting around going bad. All that said, sourdough in loaf pans is awesome. You get more crunchy crust which is the favorite part in my family. Don’t feel bad if you make loaves. They are fantastic. Great advice in this video ❤
It took me several years to realize I might as well have more sausage and ground beef processed. My poor husband was having to do it with cuts of meat from our hog and heifer. I wanted all the things but I just don’t consistently use all the things.
A well stocked pantry is the key to making a meal. ❤
I totally agree!
I love this video!
hey girl- As always such yummy food!😋 great job Lisa😉 and thanks for the tips! Y'all have a blessed weekend🥰
Thank you for encouraging woman to be keepers at home 🏡, is much need it so much in this times when the world is distracting woman with careers that don't matter. Serving our families us the best and very rejoicing ❤❤
You look really good and skinnier
Loved watching you count the bowls to make sure you had the right amount. lol. I've been married for 36 years, and I still feel like I continue to learn. I've always loved making bread. I don't make sourdough currently, but I have in the past. I've been making and eating only my homemade bread now for over a year and I won't go back. I also make the hamburger, and any kind of buns needed as well as homemade tortillas. Like you, I totally remember having to call my mom and ask her how to cook things, like a simple hot dog because I didn't have a microwave at first lol. The one thing that my mom and Grandma were great at was making homemade noodles...but me, not so much. I want that to be something I master this year.
Mastering homemade noodles is a great (and tasty) goal.
It’s important to remember that it takes 10,000 hours to truly master something… and I find often I’ve developed a life changing skill in several thousand hours. It may not happen right away, but everything comes together with practice if you pay attention and learn from your mistakes as you put in the time
Had to laugh I made so many mistakes at first. learning is fun. 😊😊
I loved the your advice thank you so much GOD bless
When a friend of mine got married she was quite nervous about her cooking skills, because she didn't really know how as she'd never lived independently from her parents and found her now mother-in-law's encouragement a consolation because she didn't know how to cook either when she first got married. There's no shame in it. We all had to start somewhere, and its ok to ask for help, whatever it is you are doing: cooking, sewing, how to clean your house, planting a garden, growing vegetables, etc. When it comes to cooking, in particular, there is a British chef called Delia Smith and one of her early books 'How to cook' begins with a very simple thing: how to boil an egg. Thank God she did think to include that, because not everyone has or had someone to teach them.
Mac ‘n’ cheese with ham and peas was a childhood staple for our family. Love your bougey version 😅
My mom was very set on learning me homemaking skills so I learned how to do laundry and such things and when I was 7 I went to cooking lessons. I wanted that myself. So I've been cooking for 33 years of with almost 20 in my own home. But even I called my mom in the beginning. And certain skills I'm not good. I'm only now getting into preserving and really gardening. Unfortunately my grandmother's are no longer here as they used to do that. Your never too old to learn and as every house is different comparing brings you nowhere. Inspiration yes, but not the feeling you need to compete with others.
I love this philosophy. I've learned so much by just trial and error and repetition. My parents died when I was a kid so I learned everything I know through mynown experiences. And just diving in and doing stuff fearlessly, and sometimes fearfully, has illuminated my own hidden talents! And to this day there is nothing of which I am aware that I cannot do. You have a wonderful family and channel. Lots of love from south africa 😊❤
How did the algorithm know this was meant for me 😂
Same boat here sis! I couldn't wash laundry or cook when I turned out of my house. I made your hawiian rolls regularly, they just popped outta the oven 3 hours ago. I still have to look up temps and times for my regular recipes I love. I taught myself to cook in my late 20's and in my late 30's I started homesteading in the burbs and shopped out of my pantry. I now homestead with gardens for us and our animals. I try to not buy anything pre-made and when I get a kitchen aid and pasta attachment, I should be done with those grocery store.
Brilliant and enjoyable video! The wizard of Farmhouse on Boone🌟
Such a good episode! I was not taught how to cook and entered marriage knowing how to scramble an egg and make grilled cheese😂 My mother-in-law often made fun of me but I kept on cooking. Some were flops and some were edible🤣I read many, many cooking magazines while nursing babies and scoured cookbooks and kept trying and learning. Experience is the best teacher. We now have 8 children and a large garden, cooking was always a passion and only grew the more I tried. All of your tips are spot on!❤️
I really need to learn how to do a sourdough starter
Hi Lisa i am all set and ready to learn new meals for 2025 . Looking forward to watching your new videos.
Yes! 🙌🏼 It’s so much less expensive to make your own skincare. “Feed your face” with healing things that you can actually eat! 😘👍🏼
Wish we had things like Thrive and Azure in the UK
Would love to see some recipes using 100% fresh milled einkorn!
Beautiful meals you made beignets I think how it's spelled awesome!❤🎉🎉😊
where do you get your 5gal buckets?

❤❤❤ Did you bring all the contents of your pantry in the basement from the old house? Always love your content!!
Hello from NC
No Thrive Market in Canada…but we do have Rise Market and it’s very similar:)
I Taught myself to make yeast bread, sauerkraut, and sour dough.
The next goal is to do canning and homemade jams, and mozzarella cheese.
At nearly 75, I’m probably way older than most of your viewers. I was the oldest in a family with 5 kids. In the words of a childhood friend, my mom was the mom everyone wanted to have. She was a fabulous cook and kept an immaculate home. She sewed just about everything we wore, using fabric from old clothing. We all had chores from an early age. Although I watched my mom cook, I was never interested until I married myself. Even before it was “cool” I preferred not to use convenience foods. As my own kids came along, my goal was to nurture their growing bodies with only the most nutritious foods…no junk. I never had a daughter, but one of my sons is a fabulous cook. I did teach my daughter in law and granddaughter how to sew. So much fun! My refrigerator looks like a laboratory experiment with fermentations of every kind: sourdough, yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kombucha. It just feels right. Your videos are always so serene and calming, but I’m pretty sure your life is hectic. I greatly admire young women like you who just go for it. You are REALLY something special, Lisa!
I bought your sourdough book and I absolutely love it! Very informative and the recipes are spot on and failproof! I am branching out into milling my own grains if I am milling hard white wheat berries, are the measurements the same in grams for the AP flour? Do I need to adjust the amount of water? I know there are some differences and you have been doing a lot of milling in your recipes lately. Thank you!
So far, measurements have been the same if I make adjustments it is usually like increasing the honey or adding an egg if it needs it but I go by feel on that....
@@FarmhouseonBoonethank you so much!
What would you say are a couple of the most important homemaker skills to work on? I like the idea of working to master one thing and then expanding beyond that
We're ordering a whole hog next week. Can you tell me what you get in terms of lbs per cut?family of 7.
A quick internet search when I was wondering this brought me to a great website with a breakdown, how to calculate the cost per lb (when you're given hanging weight). Our 1/2 hogs have varied greatly in size
We use up a 1/2 hog in just a few months, prob 2-3. We're a meat based family of 5, we don't eat grains or starch so we eat a lot of meat
My Mom was a good cook. She wasn't a good homemaker, though. Wasn't raised with those skills either.
I love the top you are wearing in this video (tan, long puffed sleeves)...is it linkable?
We LOVE pork hocks! Look up a German Oktoberfest recipe for them, they are crispy and delicious. Basically boil with some spices 1.5hrs then bake for 1.5 hrs and they are great. I save them til I have a few to do at once because I could eat a whole hock 😂
The only downside is then I have a whole pot of pork stock and don't know what to do with it lol
I have to ask - if you use sourdough starter, doesn't that make the bread sourdough? Maybe I'm missing something 😂
Yes, it does, but if you use the starter frequently it seems to not be as sour.
Women would feel so much more confident if they got off of Instagram…. I’ve been off of Instagram since 2021, and I will never ever go back. I have so much more peace, confidence, and wholeness in my life without it. I desperately wish more women could experience that freedom.
It is a good exercise for all of us to pinpoint what drains us and make adjustments!
Do you find yourself using the dishwasher? Do you plan to put a dishwasher(s) in your new home?
Random question Lisa do you still use a berkey
I don’t think anyone can get filters now? If you Google you can find out what’s going on. I use Aquaovo
We still have ours in case we need it but do have an under sink filter...you can buy filters that work for the Berkey that I have a link for if you need it...
@@FarmhouseonBoone I just ordered a Berkey finally. I’ve been wanting one for so long! I figured you had something under the sink since you like to keep the counters free of clutter. Thank you I’m a huge fan!❤️
Hi there! I don't plan on making everything from scratch and no processed anything, we are healthier but not extreme cause I'm still new and learning. I've never made bread (just muffin box stuff) or pizza from scratch before and wondering which one I should start off 1st to try? Bread or pizza dough? Maybe grain, idk anything about sourdough besides so many youtube moms do it now lol thank you
What's wrong with seed oils?
I would recommend you do your own research on them. I did and choose to avoid them.
Do tell about the serum ingredients. I just bought one on Amazon. Rosehip seed oil.
Does your sister, ship meats?
Do you have recipes that aren't sourdough? I don't like the taste at all, and and I can't eat any fermented foods. Makes me deathly ill.
While sourdough is my focus I do have other recipes on my blog ....FarmhouseonBoone.com
