@@naomiemoore5725 in our town there is a cooking night for people who want to cook with and for others to share. Maybe there is something similar through your recreation centre.
Well done to Dax for starting his own TH-cam channel! I am in the UK and home educate my kids. One of the most beneficial aspects of home educating / home schooling is that it allows our kids the time and space to find and develop their passions. Looking forward to watching his videos!
Loved this! That sweet potato! When you carried it over to the counter, my first thought was that is was a loaf of bread 😂 I have never seen anything like it. You are all doing so well! ❤
I love how much your kids get in and work. I am from Australia and all my kids are in their 20’s now. I made my kids do chores and they complained so much as their friends didn’t have to but now they appreciate it, particularly the boys as they can all, cook, clean and run a family. Love how you are raising them ❤🇦🇺
She pays them. They answered that on a Q&A once. Not for everything, but they pay. Sometimes the reward are privileges also. I think it is the best system ever. Kids today get all privileges without any effort, and they think they are entitled. Plus, any of these kids will be able to run their own homestead one day.
Cheese, butter, and flour all freeze very well. Yoghurt is very easy to make yourself as long as you have yoghurt to start with. If you use a yoghurt maker, that's the easiest. But you can also use small containers with tops and start them in a warm water bath and you will have yoghurt tomorrow. Tupperware used to sell a set with 6 covered cups and the larger container - I don't know if they still do. I made all of our own yoghurt with that Tupperware set when we lived in Europe. You can also buy shelf-stable milk in the grocery store, as well as at the Dollar store.
Becky, such a beautiful family! Everything around you is neat and organized, from your house to your garden. Your food is always healthy, well balanced and appealing to the eyes. For me, as a European, is always a shock to watch some US homesteaders, cooking not so healthy food, but convinced they do just because it's homemade. You can say that everything is organized because of the video, but I can see the love and work you put into things, certainly in a daily basis, and seeing your lovely kids helping in such a mature and effortless way is a testament of that. Much love from Portugal ❤
What a beautiful family and way to live, all your children help out, they are learning as they grow, even your baby, he watches intently and will be taking in all that you do. food looks amazing and fresh, those lettuce leaves looked so vibrant. Wishing your boy lots of success with his TH-cam Shorts!
Thanks for sharing what you do,. I am a gardener as well with 12 raised beds in the suburbs but I do not grown to the extent you do. You have a lovely family & I love hearing your methods of planting & cooking what you grow.
just as a tip, if you find an organic farmer, you could buy wheat and spelt in bulk. It can be stored keeping its nutrients up to 2 years and then grind it freshly to your required grain. For sifting I use a non stick foil sheet (one of these permanent baking foils … not the silicon ones) on the counter. Baking paper will do the same thing. It gives you more movement for sifting than doing it over a bowl and goes a lot quicker - just stay closely over the sheet and you will have less dust. Once finished you can just lift the sheet up and then you can let your sifted flour slide into your bowl.
You are a genuine home steader, enjoy your content Love your kitchen my 1935 Australian home would fit inside .. No seriously another wonderful video...❤
I've learned over the years to include a rubber hammer when cutting open winter squash, etc. You could use a longer knife and tap the end of it, opposite the handle end. It won't hurt the knife and will help with leverage on the other side of the knife as it slices down through the hard vegetable. 😉 I love your huge hoop-house. It's not possible in upper Wisconsin during the winter. 🤭
I just loved this video!After years of grocery shopping once per week and as we noticed grocery prices rising, last Fall we started our own pantry challenge. Throughout the holidays we went to the grocery once per month, mainly for fresh produce. That was so successful we’ve increased the time to 6 weeks between trips. Not only is it a time saver (nearest grocery chain is 25 miles away), but we are saving around $400 per month. I didn’t realize how many things we had been buying that weren’t really necessary. We have ordered a few specialty food items via mail order as we have food allergies in our household.
You guys are à such a inspiration! We started are homestead 7 years ago with no idea we’re this would lead us and you motivate me to always grow more and make more with it! Thank you for sharing with us!
I enjoyed this video so much. It made me realize that I need to get better about taking stock of what I have on hand and forming my meals from that, rather than the opposite. The thing that sets you apart, I believe, is that your meals always make my mouth water! There’s nothing that you fixed that fit the “dump and eat” category! Of course, in my opinion, any time you’re including homemade breads, pastas, and salad dressings, you are instantly elevating the meal. Riggs is getting so big! Now I need to check out Dax’s post.
You are right... Most foods coming out of the grocery stores are not healthy. It's good to see you be able to feed your family direct from your pantry. I have started cooking/baking from scratch much more than usual, what I have found is that the amount of time it takes to do this is way more than people realize. I have a long way to go but hey.. Gotta start somewhere!! Much respect for your accomplishment of no grocery store for 3 months!
Love to see you Becky! You could have fruit trees in the greenhouse like all kinds of citrics and even an avocado, maybe the chilean hass avocado. Other fruit trees you could have them outside, including pecans, almonds and walnuts. Maybe with 4 almond trees you would be OK, walnuts and pecans are so productive an big trees that one tree is enough. Pecans grow super fast while walnuts are slow and they need 10 or 12 years to established. You are an inspiration for me ❤ I remember more than a year ago you were worried about inflation and I told you how we were handling 40% inflation YTY...now we are handling maybe 100% week to week and it's super important to make a flexible plan, but planning is key. ❤ Hugs from Argentina!
What you accomplished is amazing and I am looking forward to another garden season of watching your garden grow and seeing how you utilize it. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
Oh my WORD. I did like a quadruple take at that sweet potato!!! I was waiting for your son to jump out in the chicken suit and say April fools or something 😂🤪. How amazing!
Amazing dishes, good to use up what we have and make due, saves so much $$$. I'm following your son's channel, so sweet of him, good for him! We are looking at another chef in the making😊
A very Lovely video!❗ It warms my Heart to see your Family all participating in your garden, food prep for meals, etc. My little Diggs is growing❗ Such a Lovely Family~~💗💚💛💙
I enjoyed your video.Also i loved that you were looking to support your husband in case he lost his job. You have a plan to help your family and be a supportive wife.
I cannot consume milk items either. I found powdered goat milk that you might add to your pantry. Also…we dehydrated the tomato skins and added them to recipes. You might try that. It adds a punch of flavor. Do you mill your own flours?
When baking bread loaves I often make the dough in the evening but with only 10% of the yeast. I cover the bowl so the dough won’t dry out and leave it in the fridge over night. It will rise quite a bit. I shape the loaves or buns next morning and bake them. They will stay moist for longer and have a nice taste as the dough has time to develop flavor over night. It often is also just more convenient timing for me as baking bread in the evening just drags out the hours waiting for the dough to prove. I always use fresh yeast as it works better for me. I portion it in cubes and keep those in the freezer, so I always have yeast available.
Thank you for sharing another outstanding video!! I just love how the whole family is involved and that your children enjoying eating and understanding the fruits of their labor! Great to see Dax take off with his cooking passion and you-tubing! Your voice is so soothing to listen to and your editing is outstanding too!! Only item missing is a dog to clean up around the baby? ( Just kidding I think?) A friend from afar! D
You can make Greek yogurt with a Crock-Pot and a cup of plain Greek yogurt as a starter and a gallon of whatever quality dairy you want. (Jersey dairy) Has been shown to have a different protein in it compared to Holstein cows. Hope that's helpful
Deep South Homestead has a potato slicer that Danny made, much like an old paper cutter - for this very reason. Sweet potatoes are too large many times to cut conveniently and especially when you’re preserving a bunch at one time. Place the potatoes on the cutting board and slice with the machete. Your hubby can build one for you! 😉 Great video.
Your food always looks so fantastic! It’s nice that your son is getting involved in cooking and making his own channel. I seriously laughed so hard at that sweet potato, and I couldn’t stop thinking of James and the giant peach! 😮😅❤
Hello, I am a new subscriber. what caught my attention was the fact you did a pantry challenge where you didn't go to the store. My husband and I are retired. I can meats veggies, soups, fruits and checking into dehydration and freeze drying. In the times we live in, we will soon not be able to go to the store. I want to learn more about living off of what I can grow or at least spend a lot less than what I do shopping for food.
I’ve never seen a sweet potato of that size. WOW. I actually thought it was a frozen chicken 🐓 😂. Great video. Love seeing all you do and the involvement of your kids. Looks like a fun house.
Hi Becky! I’ve never commented but do look forward to and watch all of your videos. Popped in the comments to tell you that this was perhaps my favorite video to date. I love the everyday use of your kitchen, showing how it gets real-life messy (like mine!!), and how the family participates. I just love it all. You’re inspiring but relatable. My favorite YT account 🎉thank you for sharing
Loved seeing the giant sweet potato and it reminded me of when we grew 9 lb. sweet potatoes. We used “cricket crap” fertilizer and had an abundant harvest! My husband is also lactose intolerant and uses the Lactaid supplements. Really helps.
Hi Becky! I really enjoy your videos. Although we live completely different lives (i'm Australia/vegan/child-free/atheist) I really respect the life you lead. I love how low waste you're family is. You've inspired me to acknowledge areas in my own life where I can become a little more self sufficient :)
You’ve got some real competition in Dax. Thatbis SO cool. I teach children that age, and think it’s brilliant that he had found a passion for cooking and sharing recipes👍🙌 I’ve subscribed to his channel. 🎉
I don't know if you use it at all but nutritional yeast is wonderful to use to add a cheesy flavor to items. My son LOVES when I toss broccoli in oil, salt, and nutritional yeast and roast in the oven. It does last a long time as well. Just a thought.
Never have I ever seen such a ginormous sweet potato!! 😮 Kudo to you and your family for being the poster-children of the pantry challenge. I can't imagine going three months without setting foot in a grocery store, even though we're well stocked on dry goods and freezer goods.
Your husband is so lucky to have you an the kids ❤ I grew up on a farm an moma did all that stuff great cook to but lost here in a car accident when i was 15 😢
If only i had the space to grow my own food. But very amazing to see how you guys use what you have. Especially with the children there. Saves a lot of time in the end aswell, just being able to stay home and not worry about food shopping.
I bet you did save quite a bit! I know growing your own food isn't cheap, but it's so much cheaper and healthier than store bought. Food security is important these days. Bless you all!
Get an instant pot and make your own yogurt. Whole milk, a bit of sweetened condensed milk and 1 container of live culture yogurt. Whisk the yogurt and sweetened milk well, then whisk the gallon of milk in. Set to yogurt and it counts up to 8 hrs. Set the night before and it’s ready in morning. You can make it into Greek yogurt by laying a very very thin tea towel in a strainer over a big bowl , set in fridge over night,
With all the hard work involved, communal living with trusted friends and family would make growing and raising animals a lot easier. We live in northern Utah and raise goats, chickens, and have plans for rescued donkeys, but gardening isn't ideal like it is in your climate.
The food looks all delicious to me! A couple of days ago I made my first ever salad that had 100% of it's ingredients coming out of our garden. 4 different greens, turnips and some herbs. What an amazing feeling! Yes, I'm a very brand-new gardener :)
Wow, 3 months! My family did 2 months with a little shopping, but we are early in our food growing journey. I'm excited to one day be self-reliant for many of our foods.
I also do a similar challenge. Try not to go grocery during the week only once a week. Use up everything until cupboards/fridge/freezer is completely empty. I am very creative with ingredients don't need to follow recipes!! ❤ love your challenge. I don't waste anything.
My husband is sensitive to dairy, but can handle raw A2 Cow milk. We get ours from a local farm. We also know people that have had great success with their own dairy goats and sheep. We are hoping to have our own dairy cow eventually, but we’ve had to do a lot of prep for it & aren’t ready yet. Y’all have a beautiful family! I love your videos!
You don't need an extra large knife for the giant sweet potatoes......you need a chain saw
I was thinking an AXE
I'm wondering what fertiliser she's using to create monsters like that... It's HUGE
😂
I love how the whole family gets involved with cooking...such a beautiful sight to see!!
As it should be. Good example for many.
Except those of us that do not having any living relatives.

My husband is sensitive to dairy, but can handle raw A2 Cow milk. We get ours from a local farm. We also know people that have had great success with their own dairy goats and sheep. We are hoping to have our own dairy cow eventually, but we’ve had to do a lot of prep for it & aren’t ready yet. Y’all have a beautiful family! I love your videos!
