I'm 15 weeks now 😵. I can't believe that this is really happening! Maybe it'll hit home more once I can feel kicking, which they say happens sometime around 20 weeks. When did it happen for you, my fellow mothers? Below you will find the recipes translated to the best of my abilities into modern directions. You can find images of the originals at the end of my videos. Thank you for watching! Potatoes Mashed with Onions (The Virginia Housewife, 1824, Mary Randolph) 4 medium sized potatoes, peeled 1/2 of an onion 0.25 cups of butter 0.25 cups of milk Salt & pepper to taste Water for boiling Boil together the potatoes and onion until tender. Remove the onion and press through a sieve. With this mash your potatoes with butter, milk, salt & pepper till smooth. Turnip Tops (The Virginia Housewife, 1824, Mary Randolph) 4-5 cups of Turnip greens, rinsed clean and drained 3 thick slices of bacon, cut small Salt to taste 1 cup of water There can be sand and grit on turnip greens. To get rid of this wash the greens in running water then let soak in cold water for one hour before rinsing and draining. Simmer the greens, covered, with bacon in salted water until tender. The Virginia Housewife recommends cooking for 20 minutes. To Hash Beef (The Virginia Housewife, 1824, Mary Randolph) Beef, around 2 pounds, cut thin 1 clove of garlic, diced 0.25 cups of water 3 tablespoons of mushroom catsup (can sub for worcestershire sauce) 2 tablespoons of butter, rolled in flour Salt & pepper to taste Heat a skillet to medium high heat. Add the beef, water, garlic, salt, pepper and catsup. Stir frequently. This dish cooks very quickly so watch it carefully. After 1 minute add the butter rolled in flour and cook for a further 2 minutes only before serving. It only takes a total of 3-4 minutes to cook. New Year's Cakes, (American Cookery, 1796, Amelia Simmons) * I don't recommend attempting this recipe unless you are well versed with historic cooking. I had to make it 3x before I found any success with it. It just isn't a very good recipe and doesn't break down from the original quantities well. The original quantity was enough to make at least 200 cakes. Give it a try and you'll see what I mean. I upped the quantity of milk to make up for the fact that dividing this recipe by 6 makes it dry. 8 cups of flour 1 cup of milk 3/4 cup of wild yeast grown from peas. This is the historically correct method. I have not tried any other yeast with this recipe so I cannot provide a substitution measurement. This recipe is honestly difficult to adjust for modern active dry yeast. You might be able to substitute with sourdough starter 2 cups of sugar 3/4 pounds of salted butter 1 egg, whisked 2 tablespoons of caraway seeds, whole or powdered In a large bowl combine the flour, milk and yeast. Give it a good stir till it is as combined as possible. It will be dry and crumbly. Cover and set aside to rise overnight in a warm place. The following day in a separate bowl cream together the sugar, butter and caraway seeds until combined. Mix this with the whisked egg. Combine the wet and dry ingredients slowly, working it with your hands until blended. Cover and set aside in a warm place to rise for 1 more hour. Dish out a spoonful of batter into patty pans/small baking molds and let rise in the mold for 10 minutes before baking for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. These were meant to be individual cakes, not a large cake.
about 20 weeks. it will feel like fluttering or gas bubbles at first, but as baby gets bigger, you'll feel it. especially when baby discovers your bladder
My daughter didn't kick at first - it felt like she was doing flips. Later on, every time I laid on my side, I could feel her shift position and start bouncing up and down. My husband could look at my belly and tell when this was taking place. 😂
Happy New Year! The first flutters are hard to tell if it's baby or gas, but it definitely sets in when the real kicks and rolls start up! 😂 By the end, when you get restless and aren't sleeping, you'll be very ready! Remember to take extra good care of yourself through it! ❤ You got this mama! ❤
I felt my son kicking at about 13 weeks but only if i was laying on my back. Kicks will feel like a little flutter at first and gradually get stronger as the baby grows. You’ll definitely be feeling it at the end! I had some sore spots that apparently were his favorite kicking spots. All worth it and I missed the kicking afterward.
The more I watch your videos…the more I realize having a wife like you would be priceless in the 1800’s before technology….you are more valuable than a mansion or Lamborghini. Coming home from the mines or whatever crazy labor…railroads etc…there’s no way it’s a possibility to forage & garden the food…prep the food AND cook it all before the sun goes down & you can barely see without electricity. The more & more you ponder everyday life, the more valuable every little thing becomes, especially a good wife. Great videos & good luck on a successful pregnancy!
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family [...] She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. (Proverbs 31:10-12,15,16).
At first the movement will feel like butterflies or flutters or gas bubbles. As time goes on it will get more pronounced and eventually you'll feel kicks and the baby turning over and moving around. It's the best feeling. Still to this day sometimes I imagine I feel it and it has been years since I had my babies. ❤
GOD bless the three of you.!!! 15 weex along. My first grandson was born on my birthday, September 17th, 2024 ! That appears to be about the time your child was conceived !! Hallelujah for all of us !!
Happy New Year to you and Ron Justine! 👍🏼🎊🙏 Hoping that your pregnancy is going well and you’re feeling healthy, but as a nurse I just want to give a Public service announcement, stay away from the litter box if MishMish has one. Your obstetrician might have mentioned it to you already that pregnant women have to stay away from litter boxes to avoid toxoplasmosis. I just felt like I had to say that because there are people who don’t know about it! Looking forward to future videos and the journey to this beautiful blessed child that the two of you are bringing into the world!🙏
This is the most relaxing and hypnotizing channel on TH-cam. 🔥🍲Your character is so likable, both of you. 💕Thank you for your videos. 🥰 And congrats on your little baby! I felt movement with my babies early in the 2nd trimester...maybe sooner. But I am super sensitive to touch so maybe that's why. 🤗
That looks so yummy! Congrats on the baby-to-be! I've been tryimg to cook from scratch more and your channel really makes me motivated since It's so cozy. Some questions: do you actually follow the skincare and haircare of the time period behind the scenes? If so what's your favourite things to use? If not, what do you use instead? And also, do you tie your hair up with ribbon? And how do you do it? Its so pretty on you! Sorry for so many questions.
My first ultrasound and hearing my son's heartbeat for the first time. The kicking and you clothes moving will happen soon enough. Congratulations to you and Ron.
Meat, potatoes and greens...it doesn't get any better. Justine and Ron, I hope you had a Merry Christmas,. And wishing you and your families a blessed and happy New Year! May all your dreams and wishes be fulfilled.
I'm so happy for the two of you!!! A baby is a wonderful way to start a new year! I was 4 months along when I first felt movement. It was like butterflies fluttering. God bless you all!!!
Happy New Year!! Glad to see you back and you look wonderful. I felt my first (daughter) at around 20 weeks but with my second and third pregnancies (sons) I felt them earlier. You'll probably feel some fluttering soon enough and then it will become quite active. All the best - this is a special time!!! I'm sure you must wonder what it was like back two hundred years ago - not easy. The meal looks yummy. Stay well...cheers from Toronto.
Happy New year you are looking well Justine. right around the 20 weeks is pretty much the normal for your first, closer to 16 weeks for later ones. I found that if you lay on your stomach when you first go to bed, it makes it easier to feel the first few movements. Until you are used to what they feel like. Then you can feel them at other times too. ( I had 7, so I can speak a bit about it)
Im so happy for you guys!! I had 3 pregnancies and each is different. I felt kicks and swirls at 4-5 months. Im weird but I loved laying on my back watching the baby turn and their butt going across your belly.. i miss it still 22 years later!!. The first 3 months can be challenging with certain foods. It was hard to cook meat!!. Be well, be blessed!!! What a wonderful adventure for you two to be on!!🎉🎉❤❤❤
Oh, this makes me so happy for you feeling the little kicks yes that is the best feeling. You and Ron are very deserving of a very healthy happy baby. Stay well and I hope everything goes very very smoothly for the rest of your pregnancy. ❤
Can't wait to see the baby, what a blessing to have two amazing parents the child will learn so much from you both. How exciting for you guys!!! Love your videos!!!!
Happy New Years to you all! Justine and family ! I love your shows and you guys! Have a safe and blessed New Year ❤and Congratulations on your new little blessing!
Happy New Year❤. It’s great to watch you two I love it. Thank you for posting about wonderful lil one your about to have its amazing day when they first kick 💕. Enjoy life to the fullest.
That looks delicious! Happy New Year!! I felt the 'butterfly' kicks at about 4 months with both of my kids. Real kicking about a month later. You are looking beautiful by the way 🥰
Congratulations Justine on your pregnancy and looking forward to motherhood. As for myself I could feel my first baby kick at around 14 weeks. I recognized this at first then. The dish you cooked today looks delicious. Thank you for including the recipe below in the description. I can so appreciate that because the original recipes. Are a little difficult for me to read Thank you for doing so. Looking forward to your next video. And because I'm watching this the day after New Year's Day. Happy belated New years to you and Ron.
Happy New Year!!! So excited for you both 🎉I’m looking forward to continuing on this journey with you as you both embark on a new year and new beginnings, especially starting a family of your own ❤God bless!
🎉❤ New Years blessings to all of you from Vero Beach Florida! Honestly, I can't remember when my son started kicking, but once he did holy cow he didn't stop! 😂 I so enjoy watching you cook Justine! You'll be an amazing mom, and Ron, a great Dad! Thank you both for sharing your lives with us! You make the world 🌎 a better place!
Congratulations you two! 🎉❤ Justine you will love your first experience of being pregnant! The stages of growth of a child within you. You will feel like a flutter feeling of movement at first and as the baby grows the movement will be more pronounced. Then the 'kicks' will definitely be felt! And possibly seen! Lovely dinner you made today. Glad to see some greens in this dinner! Happy new year 🎉! Good health and much happiness in 2025❤
Looks delicious! I can't imagine how difficult it was for pregnant women back in that time period! Happy healthy New Year to you, Ron and baby Rayfield! 🥳💕🤗
That looks so flippin' delicious, as usual as always! 😄 Justine makes the best looking food every time. Happy New Year, Ron and Justine, and congratulations to you two for your baby that's arriving in 9 months!! 😁 I think it's gonna be a boy too! Hope you and your families have a wonderful year this year, and God bless!
I couldn’t stand even the look of meat for weeks. It’s been several years but I remember the morning sickness…. After that I felt the best I ever felt in my life. It gets better Justine . I have to say you look absolutely beautiful. Happy New Year from NC.❤️🙏
I just love both of your channels.The food always looks delicious.Hope you and your husband have a very good year ! Congratulations on the pregnancy 🎉🎉
Happy New Year Justine and Ron! 2025 will be such an exciting year for the both of you with Justine pregnant, both of you waiting for the arrival of the youngest Rayfield, and hopefully being able to live in the house you’re building. I’ve been a subscriber pretty much from the beginning of the channels, and have enjoyed both channels immensely! I definitely think preparing and cooking meals from scratch is the way to go. I’ll be 60 in March so, I got to eat meals like you prepare Justine…..using good, fresh ingredients. You know and can pronounce what is in the items you use. So many products available to purchase today, with the additives and all the other stuff that we can’t pronounce can’t possibly be good for our bodies in the long run. Sadly, younger people today just don’t know how to cook and reach for what’s easy. I’m so glad that I learned to cook and taught both of my boys how to cook. Both of them cook better foods than their spouses. I hate to say it, but it’s true. Opening a package of already made cookie dough, and baking them, in my mind is not making cookies. Ok, off of my soapbox…..you guys have been missed, and I hope you both had an awesome Christmas and a great NYE. Bring on 2025!
I’m in my 13 week of pregnancy and my morning sickness is still here but slowly getting better. My food aversions are so bad. I’ve felt just a few flutters and it always happens when my husband talks to our son ❤ Everyone is different though. My mom said she could feel me moving around by the time she was 3 months pregnant with me. You look adorable with your baby bump!
A very Happy New Year to you both Ron & Justine and baby to be. I don't know how I missed the announcement, a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to you both. Food looks delicious, a new year of vlogs, can't wait
The cakes looked very good but it sure sounds like they were not an easy recipe to replicate. Congratulations on being in the family way! I felt my first child's movements at around 5 months give or take a week. The subsequent children I could feel much earlier but my belly got bigger quicker with them also; my midwife said all that was very natural and common. Each child will move in their own unique ways also. Happy New Year!
Everything looks great. No New Year's dinner was complete in our family without including Blackeye Peas. This goes back to at least the 19th century as a family tradition. With your upcoming Bambino, you'll be able to pass on your passion for authentic cooking. Happy New Year to one and all.
I love the simplicity of these meals....and a whole lot healthier than we eat today. I'd make these recipies....just using my stove and oven and modern day kitchen tools. 😊
Adding a thick slice of onion to a pot of boiling potatoes for mashed potatoes is new and interesting to me. This I will try next time a fix mashed potatoes to see how they taste!
Usually by 16 weeks or so you will begin to feel little flutters . At first it’s very subtle, but within a few more weeks, the kicks will become stronger. You’ll know it when it happens. Happy New Year 😊
Happy New Year to you both .... 🎉 l absolutely love watching all your videos, your cottage always looks so warm and cosy, all your old recipes are amazing how you cook on the fire..... From England UK 🇬🇧 ❤❤❤ xxx
Happy New Year, everyone!🎉 Congratulations on your wonderful news! BTW, the food looks delicious. When I was expecting, I craved McDonald's french fries.....my daughter loves mashed potatoes!
Oh my! Frying meat made me absolutely green at the gills! I would turn the meat then run out to the backyard to breathe😂. First baby movement for me was about 20 weeks. Hard to describe but you will know when it happens 😊!
🎈🎉👶I KNEW it! You have the " mommy look". Congratulations to you both. The first flutter sometimes feels like a gas bubble. Every pregnancy is different. 👶 🎉 🎈
looks great! turnip greens are common in the south for new year's day. my grandmother used to mash potatoes and turnips together. that steak looks like fajita or swedish lövbiff. very doable today.
I'm 15 weeks now 😵. I can't believe that this is really happening! Maybe it'll hit home more once I can feel kicking, which they say happens sometime around 20 weeks. When did it happen for you, my fellow mothers?

I was 4 months the first time I was pregnant and felt what I describe as a butterfly in my belly. ❤ Congratulations!
WOW! Congratulations on the baby news! Children are such a beautiful blessing!
I have been checking every day to see if you two were back online! Yippeee! So happy to see you. Continuing prayers for a healthy pregnancy🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Congratulations on your new little one! That's excellent news.
Happy New Year Justine and Ron! 2025 will be such an exciting year for the both of you with Justine pregnant, both of you waiting for the arrival of the youngest Rayfield, and hopefully being able to live in the house you’re building. I’ve been a subscriber pretty much from the beginning of the channels, and have enjoyed both channels immensely! I definitely think preparing and cooking meals from scratch is the way to go. I’ll be 60 in March so, I got to eat meals like you prepare Justine…..using good, fresh ingredients. You know and can pronounce what is in the items you use. So many products available to purchase today, with the additives and all the other stuff that we can’t pronounce can’t possibly be good for our bodies in the long run. Sadly, younger people today just don’t know how to cook and reach for what’s easy. I’m so glad that I learned to cook and taught both of my boys how to cook. Both of them cook better foods than their spouses. I hate to say it, but it’s true. Opening a package of already made cookie dough, and baking them, in my mind is not making cookies. Ok, off of my soapbox…..you guys have been missed, and I hope you both had an awesome Christmas and a great NYE. Bring on 2025!
I’m in my 13 week of pregnancy and my morning sickness is still here but slowly getting better. My food aversions are so bad. I’ve felt just a few flutters and it always happens when my husband talks to our son ❤ Everyone is different though. My mom said she could feel me moving around by the time she was 3 months pregnant with me. You look adorable with your baby bump!
A very Happy New Year to you both Ron & Justine and baby to be. I don't know how I missed the announcement, a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to you both. Food looks delicious, a new year of vlogs, can't wait
I love watching you prepare and cook hearty meals. Very peaceful

You both are just lovely. Thank you so much for creating gentle videos.
What a Blessing.

Amazing to see the past come to life. Happy New Year.
Hi. I would like to THANK YOU for many years of your interesting cooking . HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Congratulations to you, Justine and Ron! Your little one will have the best parents. ❤🎉
The food making me hungry!!thanks for posting!!!happy new year🎉😊
Happy New year and congratulations on your awesome baby news. I am so happy for you two. Love from Florida.
The cakes looked very good but it sure sounds like they were not an easy recipe to replicate. Congratulations on being in the family way! I felt my first child's movements at around 5 months give or take a week. The subsequent children I could feel much earlier but my belly got bigger quicker with them also; my midwife said all that was very natural and common. Each child will move in their own unique ways also. Happy New Year!
Everything looks great. No New Year's dinner was complete in our family without including Blackeye Peas. This goes back to at least the 19th century as a family tradition. With your upcoming Bambino, you'll be able to pass on your passion for authentic cooking. Happy New Year to one and all.
HAPPY NEW YEARS Love seeing you both back. Justine, don't push it and take breaks.
I love the simplicity of these meals....and a whole lot healthier than we eat today. I'd make these recipies....just using my stove and oven and modern day kitchen tools. 😊
Adding a thick slice of onion to a pot of boiling potatoes for mashed potatoes is new and interesting to me. This I will try next time a fix mashed potatoes to see how they taste!
Usually by 16 weeks or so you will begin to feel little flutters . At first it’s very subtle, but within a few more weeks, the kicks will become stronger. You’ll know it when it happens. Happy New Year 😊
Happy New Year! This looks delicious! Learned something new! Rebecca and David Back.

I can smell & taste each item you cooked. Delicious! ❤
Oh my! Frying meat made me absolutely green at the gills! I would turn the meat then run out to the backyard to breathe😂. First baby movement for me was about 20 weeks. Hard to describe but you will know when it happens 😊!
Those cakes do look tasty. Looks like you were both happy with the meal here too. Nice job cooking, as always.
🎈🎉👶I KNEW it! You have the " mommy look". Congratulations to you both. The first flutter sometimes feels like a gas bubble. Every pregnancy is different. 👶 🎉 🎈
looks great! turnip greens are common in the south for new year's day. my grandmother used to mash potatoes and turnips together. that steak looks like fajita or swedish lövbiff. very doable today.
looked so yummy always enjoy your videos. congrats on the wee one your going to be the best parents
So happy to see you again, happy New Year🎉
Congratulations on your bundle of joy!!!
