Hey everybody, this video is slight shift away from just home cooking content (although it still certainly made its way in there). Just something I felt inspired to share with you as we go deeper into winter!
I live in Norway, and when I was younger I never thought "winter depression" was a real thing. I loved winter, going out skiing and what not. Now though, when I'm older, I have more obligations and less free time. It's hard to justify doing anything outside in this cold, harsh weather. Thankfully, spring is close! :)
There's a Swedish saying: There is no bad weather, only bad clothing. I've been embracing this ideal in the last few years, and it sure helps. Even if I am not spending a lot of time outside, dressing appropriately for the temperature makes everything about leaving the house a little easier.
Living in Texas, I think I've done the reverse of this, with summers being the times I get cabin fever. Last summer, I decided to embrace it...and part of it was new recipes that didn't involve much cooking, and making breakfasts for early morning hikes or canoe paddles on the lake before it got TOO hot. Winter fermenting time is still my fave -- and I have you to mostly thank for that! 😀
I love this. A little touch of real life from a chef we trust 😊 a gentle reminder to be present and not rush through life. Integration instead of mitigation!
Hey Mike, I've really been enjoying your videos ever since I discovered your channel a couple of years ago. You're the first food TH-camr that I started watching and you've really gotten me away from the chains of the recipe. Every time I cook something new or good, I just tell my wife that I'm a Pro Home Cook. We have our first baby due in August, and your videos that mention your family and how you show things that you do to provide for them are just great and inspiring. Thanks again.
This video greatly parallels “Preserving the Japanese way” which I’m reading at the moment: the author also tells how leaning into slowness of winter and change of seasons as she follows the fermentation cycles (which can be really long-term and yield results in 3 years!) makes her slow down and appreciate life more.
We're homesteaders, I concur that seasonal eating is great. We do still go to the grocer a couple times a year but largely spend the winter eating things we preserved from the summer harvest while digging fresh carrots, neeps, potatoes, onions etc for fresh eating. Often my brassicas makes it through most of the winter as well and my small greenhouse provides radishes, greens, lettuces, herbs and some strawberries all winter with no added light/heat. My growing season here in NorCal is 90-110 days at best most years so it's a short season but very busy prepping for winter. Winter is a relaxing time of rest and regeneration for us.
Winter is a good time to do other canning projects that you didn't have time for during the crazy days of harvesting. The freezer gets cleaned out and shelves get filled up.
I have heard of the gut-brain axis and how your microbes in your gut affect your mood. However, I have not really messed around with fermentation. It is interesting to hear your story and experience with that. I will have to give it a try. Thanks Mike.
Being from Florida winter is actually when I get out more, haha. The weather is finally reasonable during the day and night time is perfect for bonfires or going for a walk without being eaten alive by mosquitos. Grilling outside in the winter is the best. I never understood why everyone wants to grill in the summer with the intense heat and humidity adding to the heat of the grill lol.
I live in mid-north Europe, so winters are nice and snowy, but not deadly freeing. Winter is my favorite season! I love snow, cold and the magical dissappearience of insects and flies.
I love this video. In the past I’ve hated winter and wished it would pass quickly. The last couple years I’ve tried to welcome the down time and see the darkness as a time to turn inward; a time of rest. We are blessed to have winter because it provides a season of reflection and a contrast which allows us to embrace each season with wonder and appreciation.
Winter is my favorite season. Gear has gotten lighter and better, and we run outside even at 38 Below. It's an expensive investment to get clothes, food, and build an environment that makes winter enjoyable. But it's worth it, especially if you live in a place where winter makes up 6 months of your year.
Thank you for this video Mike! I just finished Sourdough U. I loved the course and learned so very much from you. I love your positive energy and natural and kind personality. Living in the Pacific Northwest means lots of cloudy and rainy days. It makes for a beautiful place to live but it really can get one down. Having a child or a dog makes getting outdoors way more fun! Thanks for all these ideas and just sharing a bit of yourself. You always make me laugh or smile.
I have been a long time follower to your page and it has been amazing to see you get into homesteading. Being a gardener myself and in a similar season of life with little kids I truly like this style of video. All the best to you I'm here for the pivot !
Wanna trade winter temps? It's only been 30 below for 10 days where I'm at 😁 ❤ This is the BEST time to get into the kitchen and see what you can throw together. I made beef tallow yesterday, and today used it to shallow fry some corn tortillas that we enjoyed with salsa. Tomorrow I'm making black bean and sweet potato chili with homemade cast iron cornbread. This weekend, my adult kids are coming home to enjoy salmon stew! As always, we have food that we made last fall and froze for the winter (soups, seasoned chicken for quick sub sammiches, etc). Alaska is a place where you have to learn to cook with what you have. I tried signing up for many different companies to get quality produce/meat, but still havent found a place that ships up here. Been following this channel for a while, it's been a huge inspiration for letting go of rigid recipe following and learning basic formulas that you can mix/match and plug in whatever ingredients you have. Doordash lost money once i started following Mike 😂 Keep warm out there!
@@pagesculptor Yep! Minus 40 today...a bit brisk out. My dog does her business SO quick right now and then sprints for the door immediately after 😂 We are built different up here, that's for sure!
coming from a temperate region, i love fall/winter, because summer/spring is too hot. We don't get freezing temps on winter! (we are always above 40°F!) So yeah I like the video a lot even if it didn't really apply for me!
I really like these tips. I have been really struggling lately. More so than I usually do during the winter. Likely due to having such a hard summer last year and not being able to enjoy it because I was spending a lot of time with my husband in the hospital and we weren’t able to get out and enjoy the summer and do the summer things. I never thought to take advantage of things being “slower” during the winter. While I don’t garden, I find my kids have more activities in the warmer months so we spend more time running around to all those things. Thanks for this!
I freaking loved this video! Every aspect of it. It really tied in the theme of your page with something that really might be going on in the lives of us viewers. Winter is hard for a lot of us, and looking at this period as a time to work on small projects like fermenting or whatever else at home, is great.
As a northeasterner who tends to be on the more introverted side, I've always really enjoyed winter for many of the reasons you mentioned. The biggest thing for me is that it's a time to get organized and to work on projects/skills, without the social pressure and FOMO that tends to come with the other seasons.
Hey Mike! I recently started watching your channel again and it's nice seeing your growth from that itty bitty apartment kitchen back in the Brothers Green days. Congrats on the family & beginnings of a homestead. I'm also moving my family in the homestead direction and I picked up the Complete Ball canning book and a few dehydrating books; food preservation is a great thing to learn in the winter months. When I was growing up in northern Canada, we foraged pine tea, we went ice fishing for arctic char and made bannock on a cast iron over a flame. To this day the smell of bread and fire carried by icy -30 Celsius wind is something I miss.
I tried fermenting, but got mold on my stuff. Need to try that again, will revisit your fermenting videos again. Living in the Cape in South Africa, something is growing all year round, so one never gets real down time for winter projects. Plus is the floral kingdom known as fynbos, which includes the proteas. The bulk flower in the wet winter, so it is a wonderful time to go onto the mountain slopes and see the proteas, pincushion, aloes etc all in full flower. Really enjoyed this video, and your many others. As with many others, I only really learned to cook in lock down and following many of your videos to a point where I can improvise as you teach it. Many thanks, my taste buds really appreciate this expanded dimension of flavours
Yeah some dark days however as a Midwester person, spent half my childhood on a windswept farm. Nowadays, I ring the bell for the Salvation Army 11 times this years-so much fun and joy. Also we participated in 4 Christmas Bird Counts in very rural areas and have a blast. Also I volunteer at a local nature preserve and work outside. I love all the seasons we have. Sure I did not go anywhere when it was a blizzard, or ice storms. But generally do not need to because our pantry is full and our freezers are too. .
I'm watching this on the other side of the world in the middle of a heat wave and just because I miss winter so much and you are one of my favorite youtubers, and I found this video very comforting and made me even more excited for colder weather!
I love snow and enjoy the cold because I love to cuddle under warm blankets. The only thing I don’t like at all is being stuck at home when it snows. I live in the mountains so we have heavy snowfall.
Same where I live in Newfoundland. I have a 9 foot snow mountain right in front of my door with a path made to the front of the house. Winter here is different from where most Americans are. And we've been especially cold this winter.
@@LifeOfNigh oh yes your winters are a lot worse than ours, even though I am in the mountains. But the last few winters have been pretty bad. For our standards, not yours. 😊 Last winter we had to call for help to get us dug out. Im just glad we never lost power. My cats, and dogs and I were able to feed ourselves with nice warm food.
I live in South Florida, we see the summer as a dead slow time of year. Winter though is amazing. We wish we had snow though, people get excited when they see frost on the grass lol.
I'm one of those people who experiences the winter blues. I try to take Winter as the season for large pots of soup and stews, sheet pan dinners (baked veggies like butternut squash, yam, potatoes, carrots, etc) and hot cocoa/tea/coffee. I also make sure to take my Vitamin D/K2 supplement. Summer is more for BBQ, Taco/Chili, sandwich/wraps, etc.
Hey Mike. When I received a rain barrel the instructions stated NOT to use rain water from an asphalt roof for watering vegetables one would consume due to toxic effects. Ok for flowers and grass & trees though. FYI. Great channel.
I love my Michigan winters. Overall they seem to be getting warmer, though we just had a cold streak for a week+ of single digits & a few windchills in the negatives. If dressed properly, getting out in it is the best cure for the winter blues. It's just invigorating. Even if every inch is covered, the fresh air & exercise seems to help. The only good thing about summer is the food. As they get hotter & hotter, I feel like it just sucks the life out of me. To each their own, though, eh😁?
Thank you for sharing so much ‘food’ for thought. This has helped open my mind to many new possibilities. Thank you. From the little old lady in Minnesota.❄️
Just found you on TH-cam and I am really enjoying the content you provide. I was searching for tips on bread making and live yeast , then I came across this video and now I am interested in fermenting foods that you mentioned. Love to learn something new everyday.
We been researching about meat production at home and we found that rabbits should be more effective for meat production also they are easier to process. We will get chickens for eggs and composting this year but meat is on the list as well
Loved this 👍 Was taken aback to see you watch "Sow The Land". With that in mind, this other channel helped me a lot because they live in Ohio & so do I, so same temperature woes. They are "More Than Farmers", they have 4 kids & only grow what they actually eat & have a really good outlook. Lov'em!
Hey great video ... me to i was a pyro when i was young ... burn the cedar edge of the Neighbors. Now i make fire in a kamado to suits my needs. I agree with you, we have to learn to do things during winter months. Keep up the good works
Gotta say... I love pickled veg but just haven't found any fermented veg that I like. Even something simple like sauerkraut. Just don't like the "twang" it produces. I do love a good, cozy fire in the winter!
Enjoy your content. I am Korean and LOL when I saw the radish kimchi. You seemed to go all out even with the proper kimchi storage/container - how did you know? Looks legit. Keep up the good work!
I love fire as well. In primary school I made it a tradition to burn all my exams at the end of school year. Unfortunately, in high school our exams were't given to us.
I'm in florida. I used a drip system in my tropical greenhouse garden during the winter. It handled temps down to 30°. In 2004 we had temps to 20° 4days in a row and I lost everything. Vanilla bean, Australian tree fern. Several jungle species. Etc. Now it's a chicken house.😊
"I don't think it even snowed last year" -- So weirdly true, here in NW Ohio it has snowed about 2-3 inches the whole season so far, it has still been quite cold until just this week we're seeing 40's during the day, anyway here's to another upcoming spring!

This video was everything I needed today. Loved it. Ty
I loved seeing Sow the Land clip on there about homesteading, I found their channel this winter and have really been enjoying their adventure.
Great video! Thank you. ❤
The most wholesome video you've made so far. Thanks for the book recommendations as well!

You are so right. You stick to the roots of mankind and I respect it and I see it similar. Thank you!

That's why folks honored winter by going w/ in..reflect..it's work. & worth it!
Typing "w/in" took you no less button presses than "within", think about that.
Winter is my favorite season. Gear has gotten lighter and better, and we run outside even at 38 Below. It's an expensive investment to get clothes, food, and build an environment that makes winter enjoyable. But it's worth it, especially if you live in a place where winter makes up 6 months of your year.
I found as a dog walker in Alaska. That when I’m outside experiencing the weather…it passed by so much quicker 🤷♂️

Right on! Thanks for the reminder! Blessings!
Awesome video bud!! So many good things in this one. i do suffer from SAD and being in sunlight helps a ton.
as someone that lives in one of the darkest states in the country, winter is tough. keep that mood up !

I can see from your house and garden that you are doing well for yourself. Good for you!

Lovely family. Love your video and homestead! Great ideas and motivation. Thank you❤ Don‘t worry you won‘t be sick after the kids are older!
This video was so good!! Such a good reminder to connect with the way we were designed to live. Thank for this
Beekeeping really is next for you!!!
LOVE this video!!! I love winter and your video is extremely inspiring!!!! Thank you, :)
Struggling rn. Thank you for this.
🙏
blessings to you and your family! 🌟
Hey Mike. When I received a rain barrel the instructions stated NOT to use rain water from an asphalt roof for watering vegetables one would consume due to toxic effects. Ok for flowers and grass & trees though. FYI. Great channel.
I also use winter to can up frozen harvest from summer/fall, winter squash, and dried beans. That satisfies my itch to do garden-to-kitchen stuff.

Men your were my Absolute favorite cook on youtube ,.but your 2 sponesor are showing you do anything for the bag
Adding this one to my permanent Bookmarks; very inspirational. Thank you.
so i tried to plant some garlic in October 2 (i think ) last year and in was sprouting by November so this year ill definitely be trying again
yes you are correct
Watching this to get ready to this winter and avoid the sadness and void
I enjoyed this type of video as well as your cooking videos.
We been researching about meat production at home and we found that rabbits should be more effective for meat production
also they are easier to process.
We will get chickens for eggs and composting this year but meat is on the list as well
Just when I needed it. Thank you! ❤
Me, in San Diego: Ugh, yes, winter. Such a struggle with it being 65 and sunny out, how will I ever survive
Loved this 👍 Was taken aback to see you watch "Sow The Land". With that in mind, this other channel helped me a lot because they live in Ohio & so do I, so same temperature woes. They are "More Than Farmers", they have 4 kids & only grow what they actually eat & have a really good outlook. Lov'em!
This was a great video. I'm going outside right now to pick up sticks in my yard. I'm the opposite of a movement baby, so I appreciate the reminder.
Thanks for sharing what you are going through. We should all get something out of whatever "season" we are going for. Melaney from SoCal
Your video was very refreshing and somehow a the end of it my sense of happiness and life contentment was higher than at the beginning :)
Love watching your evolution!
Hey great video ... me to i was a pyro when i was young ... burn the cedar edge of the Neighbors. Now i make fire in a kamado to suits my needs. I agree with you, we have to learn to do things during winter months. Keep up the good works
An outdoor hot tub in the winter is heaven!
Thanks, Mike! I learned to embrace seasonal hobbies
this video is a really nice addition!
Definitely need a tour of the house absolutely love what you’ve done… inspo for my farmhouse
I love the lifestyle content like this. Would love to see more of it!
#1 plan for spring and summer :)
Mushrooms does the body good during the winter months. Also, intentionally exposing our skin to natural sunlight everyday works wonders.
I'm in Western Australia.....we make our on sprits with split corn.......we can make 700mls of spirits for about $4 at 43% of alcohol
Gotta say... I love pickled veg but just haven't found any fermented veg that I like.
Even something simple like sauerkraut. Just don't like the "twang" it produces.
I do love a good, cozy fire in the winter!
I just started Feel Good Productivity too!
This was fun and inspirational! More, please!
Public service video! Thanks! 🙏🏻
Great video! Just what I needed! ❤
Love this content!! Thank you!
Winter is the best season of the year mate! The global-warming wildfire-starting cancer-causing summers nowadays are horrible.
I❤your stuff man, keep up with everything especially air fried stuff. 👍👌🤟
You’ve got a pretty cool place, I’m kinda jealous. Congrats man, enjoy your spot.
Enjoy your content. I am Korean and LOL when I saw the radish kimchi. You seemed to go all out even with the proper kimchi storage/container - how did you know? Looks legit. Keep up the good work!
Great video on your homesteading and winter blues 🔥👍
4:18 fremntion is very healthy
Make alcholel😂
And high% sake😂
beautiful video man❤
nice touch on housework, love it✊
I love winter. Summers here in GA are hellish.
Me watching this in Venezuela, with no winters ever. However all humans must embrace the produce of the moment anyway
I love fire as well. In primary school I made it a tradition to burn all my exams at the end of school year. Unfortunately, in high school our exams were't given to us.
I'm in florida. I used a drip system in my tropical greenhouse garden during the winter. It handled temps down to 30°. In 2004 we had temps to 20° 4days in a row and I lost everything. Vanilla bean, Australian tree fern. Several jungle species. Etc.
Now it's a chicken house.😊
Hyped to see a video with your brother in the future, as you pointed to. :)
Great video, enjoyed that. Very thoughtful.
LOVE IT - more of these, please. XO
Josh in a video? Return of brothers green!
"I don't think it even snowed last year" -- So weirdly true, here in NW Ohio it has snowed about 2-3 inches the whole season so far, it has still been quite cold until just this week we're seeing 40's during the day, anyway here's to another upcoming spring!
Thanks for the inspiration!
Can you do a property tour? I noticed that the kitchen you film in is not in your house.
i love your videos, and your presentation, but please, put the links in 'down below' when you say you will!! there is not one link here!!
Great thoughts, but why is there no link to a video for that crazy good looking soup? Please, please
