Wow! I just stumbled across your fabulous channel! A few years ago we bought 2 acres of land and I was ready to garden when COVID hit! I really want to start canning and your channel gave me inspiration! I plan to go look at your other videos! Love seeing you and your dad together! 💕
Your husband kept waiting for a second bite of sweet potatoes which he never got:) lol He's blessed to have a wonderful knowledgeable cook in the family. TY for the info that we all will need.
Kem, you don't miss a thang! I was so plum shocked that I like them that I left him hanging! I seriously did not like sweet potatoes with the other method I tried. Luckily, he got more for dinner! I"m so happy you found this helpful!
I'm celiac sensitive so I have to be really careful adding noodles into my meal plan. The cheesey potato lasagna is going to be a game changer for me. Thank you!
Debbie! I had no idea, but I’m so glad that this recipe gives you an easy swap to enjoy a recipe that won’t cause a reaction. This truly makes me smile, sweetheart! I’m habla for sharing!
Girl I am going to say it again, you need to write a cookbook for all of the meals you make with the canned goods. Everyone you shared here looks amazing!
YES!!!!!!!! Please write an ebook or regular book!!!!! I’m glucose and lactose intolerant and diabetic. So many of your recipes work for me. Yay!!!!! And I love the explanations!
Your channel is a breath of fresh air. You approach your tasks with such patience, grace, and an eagerness to learn something new that it is inspiring. That helped me find the motivation to keep going on my own journey towards homesteading. Living in the suburbs, it can be easy to fall back into the many conveniences to which I had grown accustomed. You're showing so many people, myself included, that it's possible to homestead without a massive farm. I'd like to have acreage someday but you've reminded me to keep turning my waiting room into a classroom. I am so glad I found your channel. Thank you for doing what you do. 😊
Who ARE you???? One minute..(1)..and I am HOOKED ON YOU!!! Your skills and energy are a delightful combo! I cant even eat your meals coz Im keto, but honey, Ima subscribe anyway!!🤣
Tip: for a really festive touch to the sweet potatoes - add raw uncooked (washed) unsweetened cranberries to your sweet potatoes. They absorb the syrup right along with the potatoes and provide lovely pops of acidity and color. They're terrific heated in ramekins as a festive side dish. Love your content - Keep up the good work!
Get ready because you channel is getting ready to blow up and I just feel that you are quickly becoming the next big thing! You just speak to everyone and explain things so basically but keep it so interesting. My new fave channel.
AMEN I always come back... Watching them again... Cuz I'm missing her! She needs a TV show!! The level of her teaching isn't teaching... She's a friend A friend I have coffee with and learn such cool things from that I didn't know I wanted to! ❣️
Whew....Dad's are a tough critic...but that statement that he didn't have any recommendations to make them better...the best compliment ever!!! Love your channel!!
Honey I was so anxious because there have been plenty of times I’ve been off base. I was floored and so exited I finally got it right! My grandma (his mom) passed before I was old enough to start cooking and learn the recipe. Thank you so much for saying hello!!
Once again, you hit it out of the park with this video. Over the holidays, when the turkey is at its best price, I buy several birds (7) and canned the turkey, and make dozens of quarts of turkey bone broth. It was great to see your husband again; thank you for your service to our country. I am not sure which recipes I loved the most but the oatmeal muffin for breakfast and the potato lasagna were my top two.
Rich you are a man after my own heart! THAT'S exactly how you do it! I can't imagine not grocery shopping this way (along with using food preservation methods like canning, dehydrating, and traditional cooking skills like rendering your own fats) to truly make sure maximize everything to the full. Rich-that potato lasagna will have you on your back snoring if you eat more than one plate (but it is delish) AND the oatmeal muffins (recipe in description box) truly keep you full!
I made the salmon kimchi subs last week... and in the spirit of "-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things" I had to tell you, what an utter triumph of a meal!!! I have been cooking since way back (I'm trying to say I'm good at it in a modest way haha) and I honestly only find an exciting new idea out there once in a blue moon, but you have given me TWO in the last month!! I'm so grateful I found your encouraging voice here on your channel!
I am so impressed by you! I have learned more in 2 weeks watching your videos then in the years I've watched other channels. You make things simple and more important you use every bit of everything-nothing is wasted! I work a stressful job & nothing makes me smile more than making a cup of tea & watching one of your videos!
Hi Dianna! Your words are too sweet! I'm so glad you don't mind my quirks. And yes, I absolutely LOVE using every bit of every little thing because they are REAL ingredients and money you've already spent so why not? I'm so glad to be part of your unwind routine. While I enjoy my work and will continue to work full-time as the LORD gives me health and strength, goodness knows one of the reason I LOVE canning, gardening and being in my kitchen is precisely because of the change of pace and peace of mind it brings after a long work day or week. Hope you have a great week!
One of our kids has adhd and so removing a lot of the processed foods was one of the steps I decided to take. Almost immediately I could tell the difference. Eating seasonally was also a step in the right direction. When we started seeing the grocery bill get higher and higher, cutting back and removing snacks so that we could focus on seasonal and legit foods for meals helped so much.
Hello Argelia! Yes, he's my tech guy and helps behind the camera AL OT, but he's warming up to the idea of getting in front of the camera from time to time. On the opposite hand, my dad is not shy, lol. Thank you for noticing and the kind words!
You're the only other person I know that makes fried cornbread the way my mama's mama taught her! I love fried cornbread like this, with just salt and water. I just found your channel yesterday, but I'm loving the content about cooking, canning, gardening, etc. I'll be watching, and thank you for the hard work that it takes to make these vlogs.
Haha, yeah, I knew I was making (and eating) a lot of potato recipes-but that's the truth about what we ate this particular week. Even on a humble budget, you can truly make some excellent dishes! Thanks for watching!
This is just an outstanding video. You cover so much in a short time. I’m going to watch it again when I have time to write down all the great ideas I want to try. Your recipes all look delicious but your use of resources is really excellent. Great job!
I love your channel. My great aunt passed down canning to me and now I’m the only other person who cans in my family, but I am so boring with my canning. I love you creativity, the effort you put into your videos, and the way your channel is structures. Thank you for putting out content!
I grew up in East Texas and my dad’s family always had hot water cornbread and biscuits on the table at lunch. They added salt, a little bit of sugar and some bacon grease to the cornbread. So yummy! Thanks for all of the recipe ideas. You never disappoint! 💜
Hello friend! Now honey, THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT! And yup, I used some bacon lard and goodness knows you gotta add a bit of sugar to 'em (and dad sprinkled a bit of sugar on his collard greens too). Texans know good eatin' too!
This is my 50th year in East Texas (Lufkin/Nacogdoches area), we've got the most underrated fusion cuisine in the country, a little bit of Southern, Mexican, Cajun, Tex-Mex, and Barbecue, just to name a few!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl can you give me the complete recipe for the corn bread? My gma use to make these before she passed. I would love to be able to make them for my family😍
Cassadra, I have to say I literally discovered you about a week ago and I'm so glad!! You are living the life I've always wanted as far as getting back to making things from scratch (cooking and gardening) so thank so much for being you!!! Plus, you are legit hilarious!!!
When we moved to my in-law’s house, I kickstarted my canning. After tossing an entire batch because of hard iron/sulfured water (it was horrible), I started canning my veggies in chicken broth. My family loved it! We eventually got a whole house water system but the broth is a staple in my canning of savory foods.
You have such a lovely family :) Your parents are an absolute treasure :D PS: If you preheat the carafe of the coffee maker with hot water before you make your coffee into it, it'll keep the coffee warm for longer!
Hi Kelly! Awww, thank you for the kind words! I totally lucked out on my family and they are truly my best friends. WHAT A CLEVER IDEA for my french press. I do that for my tea kettle, but I've never done that with my french press. Thank you for passing that tid bit along! :)
Your comment about how watching some videos while in your kitchen make you feel like you're stopping by for a visit, is EXACTLY how watching your videos are. Like, chatting with a close friend. You are good at what you do, my sweet lady. Thank you for inviting us into your kitchen. Keep it coming! Be blessed.
When canning sweet potatoes, if you will peel them twice (yes that's righr) that will remove the white coating that is left from between the peel and potato. This makes an amazing difference in the flavor if you don't want to or don't have time to roast them. LOVE your channel!!
BECKY! This tip is INVALUABLE and I will fold this into the next time I can sweet potatoes (which I plan to next weekend). Years ago when I first canned them and afterwards determined that I didn't like them because of an off metallic taste, I had given up on having them on my shelf. When another farm girl here on the channel shared she roasted them, I told myself to give them another try and as you saw, I couldn't believe the night and day difference. THANK YOU for this tip which I will surely mention in my March pantry chat and any time I can sweet potatoes!
That potato lasagna is genius. And I just love sweet potatoes. Can you share the brown sugar syrup recipe you used?. Thanks for all the great ideas. It was good to finally meet your hubby and your dad is always so cute!
Hi Sandra! I don't (yet) have a canning sweet potato video or blog, but now that I like this method, I'll be sure to share. My hubby is so helpful behind the camera, but he's warming up to the idea of being on the other side. On the other hand, my dad is NOT shy, lol! Thanks for the encouragement!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl Yes please. A canning sweet potato vlog. I have stopped canning sweet potatoes for the same reason. This new method sounds like a winner.
My grandmother canned from the garden my grandfather had. She also made the best hot water cornbread. I appreciate your videos for it’s allowing me to reminisce and learn the skills I missed out on when they both were alive. Kudos to becoming a farm girl! 👏🏾
I just secured 2 cow shares and start picking them up on 3/7. I am so excited. We are 2 weeks away from moving into our farmhouse. My kitchen cabinets won't be done, but everything else is remodeled. Floors go in next week. I'm so excited. Thanks for your ongoing inspiration, energy and excitement. You've helped make my long wait to be a farm girl bearable!
Sonia!!!! This is such exciting news and my heart is bursting with joy for you!!! In kind, your story encourages me! And the cow shares too?! Honey look at all your blessings! So proud of you!
There isn’t many creators that I find and I bing their entire catalog. I’m so grateful for your videos and energy! And also making canning seem like nothing to it but to do it 😅
Haha, Hi Kay! Thank you for saying, 'hello'! By now you have figured that I suffer from OCD (obsessive canning delight) and I love coming home and unwinding in my kitchen or garden. Thank for you joining me!
Clarissa they truly are! While my dad loves to. grill anything, he actually picked up a lot of cooking and baking tips from my grandmother. My mom cooked our meals growing up, but secretly, from time to time, my dad whips up some incredibly delicious meals. I show people love through food, and I'm so glad both my "boys" don't mind! Blessings to you, sweet friend!
Thank you! Your video helped me a lot. Watching you makes me feel as if I’m ok. Your videos bring light, friendship, familiarity, common sense, food, & warmth into my world. I’m really proud to see you in this space - you’re awesome!
Watch your video today. I had beef canned already, and all of the ingredients needed for the Sweet potato and beef meal. Thanks for sharing such easy, yet tasty meals! I'm going to try them all! You are truly a beacon of light! And I absolutely love how you take great care of your parents with the different meal selections. The parents of the world needs more children like you!
You are just such a pleasure to watch. Seriously a breath of fresh air. I'm learning so much from you and I've been binge watching some of your older videos. Thank you for all of the knowledge you are sharing with us, from one MD girl to another. 🥰
Your videos give so much value!! I feel so encouraged and inspired to preserve and batch cook - even in a small space and with a small family. I'm excited to learn more!
You are so very talented. I l am thoroughly entertained by your big personality as I learn. You go through it so fast and with such ease, I have to run it back sometimes. Very inspiring. Thank you.
Your dad feels gives me those warm n fuzzy papa vibes ty for sharing your family with us ❤ My pops passed away so this brought me really warm feeling thx again
I just found you this morning (the homemade fermented Mayo video). - I LOVE seeing you use your silicone mat to cover your casseroles! I’ve started using them for rolling out cookies, pie crust, etc on or between. Now, you’ve shown me yet another way to use them!
I’m am truly grateful to have found you. You are definitely going to teach me to become more comfortable stepping out of my comfort zone. I love your channel, please keep on inspiring us all!💓
You have such a warm relationship with your Parents. It is nice that your Dad tries out your recipes. It is nice that you send home food for your Mom sometimes. Wow, you cooked a lot of yummy recipes. The sweet potatoes look so good. You, as always, are a Master at food presentation. Thank you, Cassandra.
Alice, you give me waaaay to much credit! My parents and hubby are truly my best friends and we just love spending time together, at home, and the comforts of a good simple meal. Hope you have a great week!
I always learn something new from you! Like the potato skins! Yum! I’m definitely making those muffins! The lentil, lettuce wraps, another yum! I’m working on getting more lentils into my diet, due to inflammation. Everything you made looks absolutely delicious! Love seeing your husband and dad as taste testers! So sweet of you to have all your dad’s favorites on hand! When my parents were alive, I’d do that for them too! Looks like fun hikes! Also, growing up, we had raw milk and my mom always liked to skim the cream off the top. We lived around the corner in the country from a dairy, and my dad was friends with the owner and did odd jobs for him, so we often got free milk! The food we ate back then was so much healthier! I am going to get some of that good milk from the farmers market to try! Great deal on the coffee maker! Girl, you find the most amazing deals on marketplace!
I follow a lot of homesteaders. I find your videos to be so enjoyable because they’re lovely and I also have an extremely small space that I live in. I appreciate you immensely. Thank you!
I’m so thankful I found your channel! I have learned SO MUCH from you! Love the foods you show us how to prepare with the items you preserved. Love your clips with your dad. Family is so important. Thanks for sharing with us! Your videos are an inspiration to me:) God bless❤️
My goodness! My mom served in the Air Force as well, tell you father thank you for his service. My family's background is of down south farming and homesteading. I am also finding joy in discovering whole foods and creating my own natural products. I am a new subscriber and I'm really enjoying your content, thank you!
Your recipes are really a life saver!!! And the way you use everything in every way possible is just genius. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel.❤
OK, I committed too soon because there’s so much more I want to say. All this food looks so amazing but what I love is your relationship with your dad. I lost my dad in October. Since then, my mom has moved in with us and I pray that I bless her as much as you bless your dad! Thank you for being so amazing!!!
Cassandra, you've done it again!! I love to see a new video come up!! Those recipes look sooo good! Thank you for the inspiration 💗 Loved "meeting" your husband and always enjoy your Dad's visits!!
Love these recipes! Can’t wait to try some of these potato dishes. 😍 Also, quick tip. If you keep regular plain Greek yogurt on hand, I just add some to a small container with some lemon juice, stir and keep in the fridge as a sour cream substitute. I use Greek yogurt for a few things, so I do this instead of also buying sour cream. :) A lot more available to people who don’t have probiotic starter. 😊
One of the things I learned from the Bible of meat preservation, "Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing", is the art of brining. I learned that brining turkey legs, both the thigh and the drumstick, before roasting, makes for the juiciest and tastiest of meats! The 1st time I made it, I only had a toaster oven, and it was ONE whole leg. My true love and I almost growled at each other over that leg! It was so delicious, and I've truly regretted since that I didn't write down the exact spices and their measures because I've never been able to duplicate that exact taste ever again. Regardless, I learned to brine other meats, and to vary my brines according to how I want my meats to ultimately taste. Even better, I can prepare my brined meats any way I want after brining, even stewing some, with excellent results! ❤ That book was an excellent investment that my Mike left me.
Oh my goodness, those crunchy potato skin chips sound so good! I’m wondering about trying it with sweet potato peels, too. And I love your potato lasagna noodle swap. I’m having to go temporarily gluten free (dear Lord, please let it be temporary, I miss sourdough already), and the GF noodles just make me sad. The lentil lettuce wraps sound like a good option, too. I had no idea you could render turkey skins like lard either. It always amazes me how many good ideas you can cram into one video!
BECKY!!! This totally works with any kind of potato skin! Don't over do things with your oil or they'll get soggy/need longer to crisp up. Darlin' I'm praying your GF diet is temporary, too--but fight the good fight so that you can calm your inflammation, or whatever it is your trying to address. And yes, the lentil wraps are so good as a 'dumping ground' for leftovers (you know how I feel about not throwing anything away). And yes, turkey oil is a wonderful product. Even that 'small' amount is enough to cover plenty of meals that don't require deep frying. Quality store bought oils are pricey (not complaining, you get what you pay for) so leveraging the fats from ingredients I'm already purchasing is a money saving GAME CHANGER (plus you can tuck 'em in the freezer). Always good to see you Becky :)
As a novice farm girl, I find your channel insightful and simply fun to watch! Looking forward to trying some of your recipes. Thank you for sharing ✨🌿🤎🌺
GIRRRRRLLL!! the blackeyed peas and collards with cornbread so spoke to my southern heart... I would have a two small separate bowls one for collard pot liquor and one for peas pot liquor and have the cornbread with each... now that is some amazing eating!!! enjoyed the video!!
Haha, Debbi-that meal was amazing and you are showing how much of a southerner you are with your dish set up! My dad eventually crumbles the cornbread into the greens and beans, sprinkles a lil' sugar on the collards...I mean its like a whole production! I'm going to show my dad your comment, he'll get a laugh out of it! Thanks for sharing!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl Oh yes!! I grew up in GA and my mom was from south MS.. so you can imagine how my food palate was growing up... I love true southern food... I have had folks ask me before what is pot liquor... the first time I was like you dont know what that is?? Its a meal in itself!! LOL
Dear Lady, you are just TOO MUCH FUN to watch and enjoy a cup of coffee with!!!! ❤😊❤ Where I enjoy bingeing on ALL of your videos, your "...small space/container gardening..." are my ultimate favorites!! So many of your tips, tricks and recipes are seemingly tailored to my style of living, being absolute winners as well as being practical, affordable and do-able. Keep 'em comin' my friend!! I wait and watch with excitement for EVERY new post!!! Have an AWESOME week and be blessed!!! ❤❤❤
I have been canning for 30 years, but you have provided some new thoughts to this old canner. Your vlog is upbeat and well done. I really enjoy watching your great ideas. Keep it up. You are amazing.
Cassandra, you are adorable! I'm 70 years old and have been doing the homesteading thing a long time. However, I learn something new every time I see your videos. Love you!
Thank you! Love this video. Economics has forced home cooking back in focus! Remember store packaged foods are full of sub standard foods & lotza chemicals to make it last years on a shelf- filling but not nutricious. Homemade tomato sauce is so easy& has no rancid oils or modified food starch ( no idea what that is). Carmelize onions, add canned tomato & sauce, fresh garlic, bell pepper, mushrooms, zuchini carrots- whatever you have. Chop it all real small. I like to add a pinch of cinnamon & some broth to lighten the acidy tomatoes. You can jar this sauce- but if you use low acid veggies, use Pressure Can or freeze it. Dont water bath. Delish.
Jody from Indiana here..Richards my better half. I love your recipes and how you have family taste test and share those special people in your life. Not everyone does that and it is a really special share with us, the subscribers. Thank you!
I'm new to your channel and I'm HOOKED! I love you innovative recipes and preserving methods. Your bubbly personality shines. Plus your dad is a sweetheart.
Awwe. I just started watching your videos a couple of days ago, and this is the first one I've seen with your husband in it. After hearing you speak about him and your relationship together, seeing it through our video experience is just so heartwarming. Y'all are too cute. Just the subtle body language just suggests how you both really just click and the energy you share feels evergreen, for lack of a better word. I hope that in the year since you've recorded this video that you've only found yourselves strengthened by the time that's past and found more ways to bring little bursts of joy into your lives.
Seriously, thank you for your enthusiasm in sharing great information. Your channel is becoming my new favorite for canning and food prep. Thanks so much. SO MANY GREAT IDEAS!!!
Just awesome. Sorry it has taken 1 year to find this video. God bless you and your father. As a father myself... I definitely know he is proud of his daughter. Thank you for these great videos. God Bless
I love the way you interact with your dad. It reminds me of me and my dad. My dad really enjoys my cooking. He says it reminds him of my moms cooking, she passed in 2016. Thanks for these wonderful videos.
Thank you so much! He's always been my #1 cheerleader in the kitchen. Food is such a powerful storehouse of memories, love, and comfort and I feel connected to my grandma, and big mama as he teaches me their recipes. Blessings to you and yours, sweet friend!
I felt it when you said, "The pressure is on." I feel that all the time with my mom, dad, mother in law, father in law...but I love it! I like to see their satisfied faces ☺️. It's a great feeling to provide a good meal to anyone.
Haha, honey its real! Trying to conjure up the childhood tastes and look of meals made by my grandma, great-grandma, and aunties who were waaaaay better cooks than me is no joke, lol! Luckily, I've 'hacked' that a lot of the ingredients they used weren't exclusively store bought--its things like cooking in a cast iron skillet from the bacon fat leftover from breakfast, using homemade butter from a local source, the freshest of ingredients from your garden, pouring over a homemade stock with bits and bobs you let simmer and season to a degree you just won't find in a store, those kinds of things. I don't always knock it out of the park and there are plenty of recipes I'm still "perfecting" but its nice to know I'm on my way! Thanks for noticing, friend!
Hi Sara! Yay, this makes my heart happy! Honey, aside from my husband and parents (well, let's count my frenchie, Thor too). I haven't had friends that get why I prefer to stay home in the evenings and weekends preserving, cooking, and tending to a small garden. I'm so glad to be friend other farm girls, like you!
I just stumbled upon your TH-cam videos yesterday and I am just blown away by how resourceful you are and how amazing your recipes are. I love the clever tips that you share and I will certainly be using them around my home. With the way things are today, taking the time to can and preserve food is a smart way to stretch the food budget, and meal prepping helps to get meals on the table quickly and conveniently after a long day at work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and brilliant tips. BTW, you are beautiful and I love the segments with your Dad and your husband. You and your husband are such a beautiful couple. I look forward to more of your videos.
love your channel. it feels familiar and comforting … then you mentioned where you grew up and it hit me! that’s where I grew up 😮. thank you for all you’ve put into these videos and your blog.
I always love your videos Cassandra! We are AD Navy as well (on the west coast) and working our way to farm life after 20 years. I watched your deep conversation video a few months back and resonated so much! Hope to meet you at the homesteaders events when we head back east. Much love from Washington 💕
Thank you! I’m still a very new subscriber, but I’m hanging on every word in your videos, and they are full of so much information that I have started to take notes! LOL. And your dad is an absolute gem! He’s so stoic, that when most of us would be cartwheeling over your incredible bargain purchases or the delicious recipes, he’s so reserved with his: mmm that’s pretty good. I love it!
Thank you for your inspiration. I learned how to can when I was younger but did not continue the tradition. I am back to canning and loving it. I love how you show different ways of using your canning and fermented goods.
Putting meal ingredients in a basket is such a great idea. I will buy products for a meal and because I haven't written it down forget what the ginger root is for, etc. Thank you.

It was funny to see your husband look longingly at those sweet potatoes as you kept sampling them. I am sure he got his share off camera.
Yes, I noticed that too...feed that man🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂❤
😂 it even sounded like right b4 that scene was cut off, he said "come on" ... 🤣
those taters looked so 😋!!
I'm celiac sensitive so I have to be really careful adding noodles into my meal plan. The cheesey potato lasagna is going to be a game changer for me. Thank you!
Debbie! I had no idea, but I’m so glad that this recipe gives you an easy swap to enjoy a recipe that won’t cause a reaction. This truly makes me smile, sweetheart! I’m habla for sharing!
Cabbage leaves are another swap for noodles. 😊
If you've never heard this tip, you can use instant potatoes in place of flour when thickening soups.
Me too. Gluten is a curse to my system
Please add the potato lasagna recipe
Girl I am going to say it again, you need to write a cookbook for all of the meals you make with the canned goods. Everyone you shared here looks amazing!

Once again, you hit it out of the park with this video.

It was great to see your husband again; thank you for your service to our country.

I am so impressed by you! I have learned more in 2 weeks watching your videos then in the years I've watched other channels. You make things simple and more important you use every bit of everything-nothing is wasted! I work a stressful job & nothing makes me smile more than making a cup of tea & watching one of your videos!
Hi Dianna! Your words are too sweet! I'm so glad you don't mind my quirks. And yes, I absolutely LOVE using every bit of every little thing because they are REAL ingredients and money you've already spent so why not? I'm so glad to be part of your unwind routine. While I enjoy my work and will continue to work full-time as the LORD gives me health and strength, goodness knows one of the reason I LOVE canning, gardening and being in my kitchen is precisely because of the change of pace and peace of mind it brings after a long work day or week. Hope you have a great week!
And your Dad is so sweet.
One of our kids has adhd and so removing a lot of the processed foods was one of the steps I decided to take. Almost immediately I could tell the difference. Eating seasonally was also a step in the right direction. When we started seeing the grocery bill get higher and higher, cutting back and removing snacks so that we could focus on seasonal and legit foods for meals helped so much.
Nice to meet your husband. And to see your dad again. Love your video 😊
Hello Argelia! Yes, he's my tech guy and helps behind the camera AL OT, but he's warming up to the idea of getting in front of the camera from time to time. On the opposite hand, my dad is not shy, lol. Thank you for noticing and the kind words!
What a sweet video. Your Dad is precious.
You're the only other person I know that makes fried cornbread the way my mama's mama taught her! I love fried cornbread like this, with just salt and water. I just found your channel yesterday, but I'm loving the content about cooking, canning, gardening, etc. I'll be watching, and thank you for the hard work that it takes to make these vlogs.
"I know what you're thinking"
You know it sis! I'm thinking I want to crawl though my screen and try some of that food!
Haha, yeah, I knew I was making (and eating) a lot of potato recipes-but that's the truth about what we ate this particular week. Even on a humble budget, you can truly make some excellent dishes! Thanks for watching!
This is just an outstanding video. You cover so much in a short time. I’m going to watch it again when I have time to write down all the great ideas I want to try. Your recipes all look delicious but your use of resources is really excellent. Great job!
I love your channel. My great aunt passed down canning to me and now I’m the only other person who cans in my family, but I am so boring with my canning. I love you creativity, the effort you put into your videos, and the way your channel is structures. Thank you for putting out content!
I grew up in East Texas and my dad’s family always had hot water cornbread and biscuits on the table at lunch. They added salt, a little bit of sugar and some bacon grease to the cornbread. So yummy!
Thanks for all of the recipe ideas. You never disappoint! 💜
Hello friend! Now honey, THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT! And yup, I used some bacon lard and goodness knows you gotta add a bit of sugar to 'em (and dad sprinkled a bit of sugar on his collard greens too). Texans know good eatin' too!
This is my 50th year in East Texas (Lufkin/Nacogdoches area), we've got the most underrated fusion cuisine in the country, a little bit of Southern, Mexican, Cajun, Tex-Mex, and Barbecue, just to name a few!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl can you give me the complete recipe for the corn bread? My gma use to make these before she passed. I would love to be able to make them for my family😍
Cassadra, I have to say I literally discovered you about a week ago and I'm so glad!! You are living the life I've always wanted as far as getting back to making things from scratch (cooking and gardening) so thank so much for being you!!! Plus, you are legit hilarious!!!
i love your family dynamic... and your energy around them. Such a positive light lol
Aww, thank you Dayshawn! Don't know how I lucked out with such great folks, but you''re right, they are so encouraging. Hope you're having a good day!
There is something special about you! I feel like I’m listening to my bestie when watching these!
When we moved to my in-law’s house, I kickstarted my canning. After tossing an entire batch because of hard iron/sulfured water (it was horrible), I started canning my veggies in chicken broth. My family loved it! We eventually got a whole house water system but the broth is a staple in my canning of savory foods.
I’m totally crushing on this woman!
You have such a lovely family :) Your parents are an absolute treasure :D
PS: If you preheat the carafe of the coffee maker with hot water before you make your coffee into it, it'll keep the coffee warm for longer!
Hi Kelly! Awww, thank you for the kind words! I totally lucked out on my family and they are truly my best friends. WHAT A CLEVER IDEA for my french press. I do that for my tea kettle, but I've never done that with my french press. Thank you for passing that tid bit along! :)
@@BecomingaFarmGirl I meant the other coffee maker (the one for your dad) but it would probably work with that French press too. :)
Your comment about how watching some videos while in your kitchen make you feel like you're stopping by for a visit, is EXACTLY how watching your videos are. Like, chatting with a close friend. You are good at what you do, my sweet lady. Thank you for inviting us into your kitchen. Keep it coming! Be blessed.
When canning sweet potatoes, if you will peel them twice (yes that's righr) that will remove the white coating that is left from between the peel and potato. This makes an amazing difference in the flavor if you don't want to or don't have time to roast them.
LOVE your channel!!
BECKY! This tip is INVALUABLE and I will fold this into the next time I can sweet potatoes (which I plan to next weekend). Years ago when I first canned them and afterwards determined that I didn't like them because of an off metallic taste, I had given up on having them on my shelf. When another farm girl here on the channel shared she roasted them, I told myself to give them another try and as you saw, I couldn't believe the night and day difference. THANK YOU for this tip which I will surely mention in my March pantry chat and any time I can sweet potatoes!
You've made me to look at my tiny garden in a new way! Great seeing your family, tell your mom I said heeeey!!
Hi Kristy! Good to see you! Will do!!!!
That potato lasagna is genius. And I just love sweet potatoes. Can you share the brown sugar syrup recipe you used?. Thanks for all the great ideas. It was good to finally meet your hubby and your dad is always so cute!
Hi Sandra! I don't (yet) have a canning sweet potato video or blog, but now that I like this method, I'll be sure to share. My hubby is so helpful behind the camera, but he's warming up to the idea of being on the other side. On the other hand, my dad is NOT shy, lol! Thanks for the encouragement!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl Yes please. A canning sweet potato vlog. I have stopped canning sweet potatoes for the same reason. This new method sounds like a winner.
My grandmother canned from the garden my grandfather had. She also made the best hot water cornbread. I appreciate your videos for it’s allowing me to reminisce and learn the skills I missed out on when they both were alive. Kudos to becoming a farm girl! 👏🏾
Everything you make is making me drool. Your kitchen organization is amazing and inspiring
I just secured 2 cow shares and start picking them up on 3/7. I am so excited. We are 2 weeks away from moving into our farmhouse. My kitchen cabinets won't be done, but everything else is remodeled. Floors go in next week. I'm so excited. Thanks for your ongoing inspiration, energy and excitement. You've helped make my long wait to be a farm girl bearable!
Sonia!!!! This is such exciting news and my heart is bursting with joy for you!!! In kind, your story encourages me! And the cow shares too?! Honey look at all your blessings! So proud of you!
There isn’t many creators that I find and I bing their entire catalog. I’m so grateful for your videos and energy! And also making canning seem like nothing to it but to do it 😅
Haha, Hi Kay! Thank you for saying, 'hello'! By now you have figured that I suffer from OCD (obsessive canning delight) and I love coming home and unwinding in my kitchen or garden. Thank for you joining me!
Dad's taste test reviews are priceless. Love a supportive dad
Clarissa they truly are! While my dad loves to. grill anything, he actually picked up a lot of cooking and baking tips from my grandmother. My mom cooked our meals growing up, but secretly, from time to time, my dad whips up some incredibly delicious meals. I show people love through food, and I'm so glad both my "boys" don't mind! Blessings to you, sweet friend!
So cute!
I recently lost my dad and I gotta say, your dad reminds me of him. He’s awesome. He’s so sweet. You’re a lucky lady.
Hello sweet friend. Please come here and let me give you this hug >>>>HUG
I LOVE your channel. So glad I found it.
Hello 👋🏾 sweet friend! Aww, I’m so glad that you are here! I appreciate your kind words! Hope you’re having an enjoyable day!
Thank you! Your video helped me a lot. Watching you makes me feel as if I’m ok. Your videos bring light, friendship, familiarity, common sense, food, & warmth into my world. I’m really proud to see you in this space - you’re awesome!
Watch your video today. I had beef canned already, and all of the ingredients needed for the Sweet potato and beef meal. Thanks for sharing such easy, yet tasty meals! I'm going to try them all! You are truly a beacon of light! And I absolutely love how you take great care of your parents with the different meal selections. The parents of the world needs more children like you!
You are just such a pleasure to watch. Seriously a breath of fresh air. I'm learning so much from you and I've been binge watching some of your older videos. Thank you for all of the knowledge you are sharing with us, from one MD girl to another. 🥰
Your videos give so much value!! I feel so encouraged and inspired to preserve and batch cook - even in a small space and with a small family. I'm excited to learn more!
You are so very talented. I l am thoroughly entertained by your big personality as I learn. You go through it so fast and with such ease, I have to run it back sometimes. Very inspiring. Thank you.
Your dad feels gives me those warm n fuzzy papa vibes ty for sharing your family with us ❤
My pops passed away so this brought me really warm feeling thx again
I just found you this morning (the homemade fermented Mayo video). - I LOVE seeing you use your silicone mat to cover your casseroles! I’ve started using them for rolling out cookies, pie crust, etc on or between. Now, you’ve shown me yet another way to use them!
I’m am truly grateful to have found you. You are definitely going to teach me to become more comfortable stepping out of my comfort zone. I love your channel, please keep on inspiring us all!💓
I make a brown sugar syrup for my canned carrots as well and they are so YUMMY!
You have such a warm relationship with your Parents. It is nice that your Dad tries out your recipes. It is nice that you send home food for your Mom sometimes. Wow, you cooked a lot of yummy recipes. The sweet potatoes look so good. You, as always, are a Master at food presentation. Thank you, Cassandra.
Alice, you give me waaaay to much credit! My parents and hubby are truly my best friends and we just love spending time together, at home, and the comforts of a good simple meal. Hope you have a great week!
So glad I found your channel! Mom to a family of 8 these meal prep canning videos are fabulous 👌🏾 👏🏽 ❤
I always learn something new from you! Like the potato skins! Yum! I’m definitely making those muffins! The lentil, lettuce wraps, another yum! I’m working on getting more lentils into my diet, due to inflammation. Everything you made looks absolutely delicious! Love seeing your husband and dad as taste testers! So sweet of you to have all your dad’s favorites on hand! When my parents were alive, I’d do that for them too! Looks like fun hikes! Also, growing up, we had raw milk and my mom always liked to skim the cream off the top. We lived around the corner in the country from a dairy, and my dad was friends with the owner and did odd jobs for him, so we often got free milk! The food we ate back then was so much healthier! I am going to get some of that good milk from the farmers market to try! Great deal on the coffee maker! Girl, you find the most amazing deals on marketplace!
I love the juice hack! Definitely going to try when I see a juice or coconut water on sale.
I follow a lot of homesteaders. I find your videos to be so enjoyable because they’re lovely and I also have an extremely small space that I live in. I appreciate you immensely. Thank you!
I’m so thankful I found your channel! I have learned SO MUCH from you! Love the foods you show us how to prepare with the items you preserved. Love your clips with your dad. Family is so important. Thanks for sharing with us! Your videos are an inspiration to me:) God bless❤️
My goodness! My mom served in the Air Force as well, tell you father thank you for his service. My family's background is of down south farming and homesteading. I am also finding joy in discovering whole foods and creating my own natural products. I am a new subscriber and I'm really enjoying your content, thank you!
Your recipes are really a life saver!!! And the way you use everything in every way possible is just genius. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel.❤
OK, I committed too soon because there’s so much more I want to say. All this food looks so amazing but what I love is your relationship with your dad. I lost my dad in October. Since then, my mom has moved in with us and I pray that I bless her as much as you bless your dad! Thank you for being so amazing!!!
I love you and you dad’s relationship! You’re so blessed! Such a daddy’s girl ❤️
Cassandra, you've done it again!!
I love to see a new video come up!! Those recipes look sooo good! Thank you for the inspiration 💗
Loved "meeting" your husband and always enjoy your Dad's visits!!
Love these recipes! Can’t wait to try some of these potato dishes. 😍 Also, quick tip. If you keep regular plain Greek yogurt on hand, I just add some to a small container with some lemon juice, stir and keep in the fridge as a sour cream substitute. I use Greek yogurt for a few things, so I do this instead of also buying sour cream. :) A lot more available to people who don’t have probiotic starter. 😊
One of the things I learned from the Bible of meat preservation, "Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing", is the art of brining. I learned that brining turkey legs, both the thigh and the drumstick, before roasting, makes for the juiciest and tastiest of meats! The 1st time I made it, I only had a toaster oven, and it was ONE whole leg. My true love and I almost growled at each other over that leg! It was so delicious, and I've truly regretted since that I didn't write down the exact spices and their measures because I've never been able to duplicate that exact taste ever again.
Regardless, I learned to brine other meats, and to vary my brines according to how I want my meats to ultimately taste. Even better, I can prepare my brined meats any way I want after brining, even stewing some, with excellent results! ❤ That book was an excellent investment that my Mike left me.
Oh my goodness, those crunchy potato skin chips sound so good! I’m wondering about trying it with sweet potato peels, too. And I love your potato lasagna noodle swap. I’m having to go temporarily gluten free (dear Lord, please let it be temporary, I miss sourdough already), and the GF noodles just make me sad. The lentil lettuce wraps sound like a good option, too. I had no idea you could render turkey skins like lard either. It always amazes me how many good ideas you can cram into one video!
BECKY!!! This totally works with any kind of potato skin! Don't over do things with your oil or they'll get soggy/need longer to crisp up. Darlin' I'm praying your GF diet is temporary, too--but fight the good fight so that you can calm your inflammation, or whatever it is your trying to address. And yes, the lentil wraps are so good as a 'dumping ground' for leftovers (you know how I feel about not throwing anything away). And yes, turkey oil is a wonderful product. Even that 'small' amount is enough to cover plenty of meals that don't require deep frying. Quality store bought oils are pricey (not complaining, you get what you pay for) so leveraging the fats from ingredients I'm already purchasing is a money saving GAME CHANGER (plus you can tuck 'em in the freezer). Always good to see you Becky :)
I’ve been saving the fat drippings in the fridge from our smoker. Mostly Brisket & chicken drippings. Delicious fat replacement!
Your Dad is so charming.
As a novice farm girl, I find your channel insightful and simply fun to watch! Looking forward to trying some of your recipes.
Thank you for sharing ✨🌿🤎🌺
GIRRRRRLLL!! the blackeyed peas and collards with cornbread so spoke to my southern heart... I would have a two small separate bowls one for collard pot liquor and one for peas pot liquor and have the cornbread with each... now that is some amazing eating!!! enjoyed the video!!
Haha, Debbi-that meal was amazing and you are showing how much of a southerner you are with your dish set up! My dad eventually crumbles the cornbread into the greens and beans, sprinkles a lil' sugar on the collards...I mean its like a whole production! I'm going to show my dad your comment, he'll get a laugh out of it! Thanks for sharing!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl Oh yes!! I grew up in GA and my mom was from south MS.. so you can imagine how my food palate was growing up... I love true southern food... I have had folks ask me before what is pot liquor... the first time I was like you dont know what that is?? Its a meal in itself!! LOL
Dear Lady, you are just TOO MUCH FUN to watch and enjoy a cup of coffee with!!!! ❤😊❤ Where I enjoy bingeing on ALL of your videos, your "...small space/container gardening..." are my ultimate favorites!! So many of your tips, tricks and recipes are seemingly tailored to my style of living, being absolute winners as well as being practical, affordable and do-able. Keep 'em comin' my friend!! I wait and watch with excitement for EVERY new post!!! Have an AWESOME week and be blessed!!! ❤❤❤
I have been canning for 30 years, but you have provided some new thoughts to this old canner. Your vlog is upbeat and well done. I really enjoy watching your great ideas. Keep it up. You are amazing.
Cassandra, you are adorable! I'm 70 years old and have been doing the homesteading thing a long time. However, I learn something new every time I see your videos. Love you!
You are delightful. Thank you Lord that I found your channel🙏🏼
I love how you get to the point quickly. You have the perfect voice and the pace. Your channel is fun to watch and very. Informative
This was my first time watching you on 4-13-2023 and I love your energy thank you.
Aww the way your husband was clearly getting a kick out of your joy... very cute! You make a lovely family!
Hi Ashlee! Haha, he is definitely the "calm bear" and I"m the "excitable chihuahua" 😂 Thank you!
Thank you! Love this video. Economics has forced home cooking back in focus! Remember store packaged foods are full of sub standard foods & lotza chemicals to make it last years on a shelf- filling but not nutricious. Homemade tomato sauce is so easy& has no rancid oils or modified food starch ( no idea what that is). Carmelize onions, add canned tomato & sauce, fresh garlic, bell pepper, mushrooms, zuchini carrots- whatever you have. Chop it all real small. I like to add a pinch of cinnamon & some broth to lighten the acidy tomatoes. You can jar this sauce- but if you use low acid veggies, use Pressure Can or freeze it. Dont water bath. Delish.
Jody from Indiana here..Richards my better half. I love your recipes and how you have family taste test and share those special people in your life. Not everyone does that and it is a really special share with us, the subscribers. Thank you!
I'm new to your channel and I'm HOOKED! I love you innovative recipes and preserving methods. Your bubbly personality shines. Plus your dad is a sweetheart.
Awwe. I just started watching your videos a couple of days ago, and this is the first one I've seen with your husband in it. After hearing you speak about him and your relationship together, seeing it through our video experience is just so heartwarming. Y'all are too cute. Just the subtle body language just suggests how you both really just click and the energy you share feels evergreen, for lack of a better word. I hope that in the year since you've recorded this video that you've only found yourselves strengthened by the time that's past and found more ways to bring little bursts of joy into your lives.
Your dad playing with the dog is just too precious. ❤
Seriously, thank you for your enthusiasm in sharing great information. Your channel is becoming my new favorite for canning and food prep. Thanks so much. SO MANY GREAT IDEAS!!!
Aww, Frances you area incredibly kind! Thank you for the encouragement, my friend!
Please keep doing you, empowering the world with your content, and brightening it with your joyful personality! Thank you!
So wonderful to see you with your husband and father. I love getting ideas from your podcast. Thank you!
Just awesome. Sorry it has taken 1 year to find this video. God bless you and your father. As a father myself... I definitely know he is proud of his daughter. Thank you for these great videos. God Bless
You're a machine! You portray your culture and the love of food like no other! God bless you! ❤
I love the way you interact with your dad. It reminds me of me and my dad. My dad really enjoys my cooking. He says it reminds him of my moms cooking, she passed in 2016.
Thanks for these wonderful videos.
Thank you so much! He's always been my #1 cheerleader in the kitchen. Food is such a powerful storehouse of memories, love, and comfort and I feel connected to my grandma, and big mama as he teaches me their recipes. Blessings to you and yours, sweet friend!
Loved this. Your dad is just adorable as he tastes your breakfast muffins
Thanks for such a simple pleasure
Great video I especially love how you do things for your dad. You're a natural at speaking.
I felt it when you said, "The pressure is on." I feel that all the time with my mom, dad, mother in law, father in law...but I love it! I like to see their satisfied faces ☺️. It's a great feeling to provide a good meal to anyone.
Haha, honey its real! Trying to conjure up the childhood tastes and look of meals made by my grandma, great-grandma, and aunties who were waaaaay better cooks than me is no joke, lol! Luckily, I've 'hacked' that a lot of the ingredients they used weren't exclusively store bought--its things like cooking in a cast iron skillet from the bacon fat leftover from breakfast, using homemade butter from a local source, the freshest of ingredients from your garden, pouring over a homemade stock with bits and bobs you let simmer and season to a degree you just won't find in a store, those kinds of things. I don't always knock it out of the park and there are plenty of recipes I'm still "perfecting" but its nice to know I'm on my way! Thanks for noticing, friend!
God bless your dad! It was so nice to see him and you making his favorite southern recipe and treats. God bless your family ❤
I just love your videos Cassandra!!! So much info packed in each episode!! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and delicious creativity!! 😋 ❤️
Hi Sara! Yay, this makes my heart happy! Honey, aside from my husband and parents (well, let's count my frenchie, Thor too). I haven't had friends that get why I prefer to stay home in the evenings and weekends preserving, cooking, and tending to a small garden. I'm so glad to be friend other farm girls, like you!
Cassandra!! You are Absolutely.... A Delight and Joy to watch!! Love your videos!
Love the hubby and dad reveal! Your dad seems so supportive
I just stumbled upon your TH-cam videos yesterday and I am just blown away by how resourceful you are and how amazing your recipes are. I love the clever tips that you share and I will certainly be using them around my home. With the way things are today, taking the time to can and preserve food is a smart way to stretch the food budget, and meal prepping helps to get meals on the table quickly and conveniently after a long day at work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and brilliant tips. BTW, you are beautiful and I love the segments with your Dad and your husband. You and your husband are such a beautiful couple. I look forward to more of your videos.
You just blew my mind placing the silpat over the lasagna instead of foil. Less waste of foil and my pennies… I am so grateful to have found you!
love your channel. it feels familiar and comforting … then you mentioned where you grew up and it hit me! that’s where I grew up 😮. thank you for all you’ve put into these videos and your blog.
Your dad is a natural in front of the camara, I love to watch him, you guys are so much fun.😊
You are beyond blessed with a great family Casandra! Can't wait to meet you!
I always love your videos Cassandra!
We are AD Navy as well (on the west coast) and working our way to farm life after 20 years. I watched your deep conversation video a few months back and resonated so much! Hope to meet you at the homesteaders events when we head back east. Much love from Washington 💕
Thank you! I’m still a very new subscriber, but I’m hanging on every word in your videos, and they are full of so much information that I have started to take notes! LOL. And your dad is an absolute gem! He’s so stoic, that when most of us would be cartwheeling over your incredible bargain purchases or the delicious recipes, he’s so reserved with his: mmm that’s pretty good. I love it!
I feel SO BLESSED to have found your channel! 😮❤😊
Thank you for your inspiration. I learned how to can when I was younger but did not continue the tradition. I am back to canning and loving it. I love how you show different ways of using your canning and fermented goods.
Putting meal ingredients in a basket is such a great idea. I will buy products for a meal and because I haven't written it down forget what the ginger root is for, etc. Thank you.
I love your dad. You could tell he really liked the food. So happy I found your channel.
