When my grandchildren were little…..I would put some heavy cream and salt in a small glass jar and then we would take turns shaking the jars to music. In no time at all……butter. You do not need a machine just shaking and patience
Aww that is so cute!!!! I love this!
Lauren you’re so cute. I noticed the bronzer first thing too lol . I’m so excited you’re going to be posting so much!!!
I did this too when I was teaching preschool
I don't know about anyone else but i am super excited to see more content from you. I always check my notifications from you tube to see if its you. You bring a different set of content then the others on you tube, not to mention you you kept me company while i went thru my chemo. I am sad i wont see the napa drive to the winery but so excited for more motivation, clean, cooking videos. Thank you Lauren for always being transparent with your audience. Cheers to 2025!
Merry Christmas and a Happy HEALTHY New Year to everyone 🎄🎁🎅👏👏
I’m SO excited about the meal plans!!!! You’re one of the very few people on TH-cam that can actually cook. 😮
Your bronzer comments throughout were cracking me up 😂. Looking forward to all your videos coming up!
So…..I don’t know about anyone else…but I for one am so happy about the changes that are coming!
Hey Lauren,
Love your authenticity! Heavy cream and butter are not bad for you, they are actually very good for you as long as you’re metabolically healthy. They are full of healthy fats and nutrients!
The canola oil is terrible for human health.
I love that you’re experimenting with making cheese, bread and butter. How fun! I feel like you’re really close to learning about saturated fats vs unsaturated fats and I’m so excited for you and your family. Thank you for all that you share🫶🏻
Just an idea. I keep my recipes that I have printed out on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper in plastic sleeves and then put them in a binder. That way when I am using them they don’t get dirty. The plastic protects the oaper
Greetings from the East Bay (Orinda)! My mom suddenly passed away around the same time as yours. My mom was a Louisiana native and an amazing cook. She also left her her recipes to me and my sister. This Thanksgiving it was so comforting to see my mom's handwriting on some of her favorite recipes. I'm glad to know someone else can relate in this way - staying connected to our moms through cooking...especially during the holidays. ❤
Hey Lauren I love the video. A tip for the butter, be sure to rinse all the buttermilk out with ice cold water until it's clear and add a little bit of salt. It helps the bacteria from growing so it doesn't mold. Merry Christmas.
Everything looks AMAZING! The soup, the chicken parm, the bread...I don't know what I'd eat first! Great video, Lauren :)
So proud of you Lauren. Your heart is learning to heal and you have made up your mind to grow and make the best of every situation. I hope you feel better by now. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
I am soooo happy to have more videos from you next year!! You are my inspiration. Thank you for dedicating so much to the channel!
You are such an inspiration, Merry Christmas and I hope you and your family have a blessed New Year.
Thank you so much for being here!! Lots of seasonal decorating to come!
Thank for sharing when things don’t turn out the way you plan! I have had so many failures and it’s nice to see that I’m not the only one 😂 Sometimes it doesn’t matter how perfectly you follow the recipe, it just doesn’t work out right and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you sharing that with us.
You are the best! Thank you so much! Merry Christmas Lauren and everyone in the comments! 🎄☃️🎅🦌🎁✨️🙏
Merry Christmas!!!
Love your pantry and fridge org vids. They inspired me to make mine ultra organized and user friendly.
Your new schedule sounds exciting! Can’t wait🙏! Merry Christmas Lauren🌲
The way Pepe bounces around is too cute! He and Henry are such cute little friends😊
I am trying this bread today. i finally got a kitchen aid. i have so many cast iron pots and pans. its nice to bring one out. Fire and Season the oven since i havent used it in years. i cant wait to see how this turns out
I love that you don't take yourself too seriously. Bronzer adventures! 😅
That bread looks just perfect though. Every time you squeezed it and it bounced right back out-. Nice.
I am *not so lucky/skilled* in my bread making.
Wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. ❤
Hi Lauren, my Christmas is really a quiet one... i only have 1 son who bothers with me and excepts me even with the struggles i have been through health wise.. the other is embarrassed by my health issues...but i seen my grandchildern had an early Christmas with them again their father ( my youngest son) doesn't bother with me..ill be alone for Christmas if its bad weather ..if not my oldest son will come for dinner...its such a lonely time for me...I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends...
I have watched this video 3x. These videos are my absolute favorite of yours and I am looking forward to your new content schedule. Thank you for uploading despite your makeup mistake, I appreciate you being real and having a good sense of humor about it. Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas!
Lauren, you are too funny. I love when you said you had too much contour on. Cracked me up!!! You are so relatable. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🥰⚜️
I know cooking videos aren’t as popular on TH-cam, but I would absolutely love a full cooking video. I like how you throw in a few minutes of cooking in your Vlogs, but a whole video dedicated to a specific dish would be so awesome! I’m a really terrible cook, and my boyfriend’s daughter recently came to live with us and I have struggled to cook for her or to find dishes that she actually likes. I’ve never been good in the kitchen! But I’m learning and I would love to learn one of your dishes. I love watching the clips in your Vlogs of you cooking. You seem to be so good at it! I think it’s really awesome that while being a full-time working mom of 4 humans and countless animals, a wife and homemaker AND doing YT, you still find time to make good, fresh food for your family! And I love when you tell us about how your mom used to make this dish or that dish… I think it’s really beautiful that you are keeping your moms memory alive and I would venture to say it makes you feel close to her when making a dish of hers. That’s how I feel when making my mom‘s Christmas sugar cookies each year. It makes me feel just a little closer to her😉❤
This year we can learn to cook together! So happy you are here!
So exciting!! Your videos are the absolute best, so inspirational the only person I watch on you tube and I learn so much from you. Can’t wait to get our life together!!! ❤❤
This gave me such cozy holiday vibes! 😍
Hi Lauren, so sorry to hear you were so sick. Hope you are 100% back to health and feeling well. Those recipes looked so delicious. Homemade butter & cheese that is awesome. I make bread once a week but I honestly didn’t think of making butter & cheese. This will be something I will definitely try soon. Take care Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas Lauren. Your mom must have been a wonderful cook.
I think it’s a smart move. You’re so talented in these areas, and I look forward to supporting you in the new year! 🎉
Thank you so much! It truly means the world to me to have your support. 💕
I’m remembering my mom this holiday season by making some of our family recipes as well. She passed away 10 years ago. I love making memories with my daughter that she’ll have when she grows up.
Somehow making all of her recipes makes it feel like she's right here with me in the kitchen... probably telling me to put on slippers because being barefoot in the kitchen is gross according to her. She would watch my videos and text me that my feet were dirty and we would laugh
@ Those are the kind of memories to make you smile during the holiday season when it’s hard. Family recipes seem to have a way of staying in our hearts forever, feeding our spirit. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family! Thanks for sharing your memories with us.
Love this Lauren, so excited!!!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours....XO 🎄
Lauren, I did Mozzarela here. When you finish cutting those square, you put in a stainer to remove the watter. In a dry pan in a weak fire, and you move it vigorously with a wood spoon. Soon you will see that it forms a unic paste, elastic... so its time to turn off the fire, move it a litte more, put in a tupperware and, refrigerator. Mine was a little too soft, i think i need to move more that paste, but not with fire on. Wow, that required all my english practice 😂... kisses from Brasil and have a Merry Christmas and happy new year. ❤
Merry Christmas Lauren! I didn't expect a video from you this week, but so thankful for it. A nice treat during a crazy busy week.
Just stunning and that's just the bronzer 😊😊😊
Looking forward to the new year plans!! So excited to watch and learn with you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ❤️🎄✨
My husband works holidays and we’re moving from the PNW to Florida in a few months so we’ve already celebrated and I undecorated 🫣 BUT next year we’ll be in a different house and it’ll be fun to decorate. This year has been a tad stressful.
Hi Lauren,
Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
I'm turning my upstairs loft into a home
Library, Have a lot of projects this coming year! I live in Illinois and we had snow a few days ago, most of it is gone though.
I loved your video and look forward to all you have in-store for us in the New Year. It sounds so exciting.
That bronzer really had staying power! Glad you are feeling better. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year! 💕🌲🥂
Animals are just the best!!

Watching your video today was the pick me up that I needed. We were suppose to do Christmas with part of our family today, but sadly everyone is sick with some kind of bug or cough. I was feeling a little blue about it, and then I came across your video.
A very Merry Christmas to you and you family and have a very Blessed New Year!
I watch all of your videos. The new year sounds exciting in your home. I will be looking forward to the new videos. Happy New Year.
Looking forward to your new video schedule. Love your videos so much. Merry Christmas to y’all
Sorry you were sick! I wondered where you were ! Glad you are back up and running !
That is a great lookin' loaf of bread. I like your intentional living and planning ! Good video :-)
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Thank you for a wonderful podcast
Hello to all your fur babies!
Love the bronzer lol 😂 I'm the same! 🙋♀️
Hi Lauren, if recipe calls for instant or rapid yeast you can still use regular yeast just increase amount by 25%. Great as always. I love your ambition and the sweet nature you have.
Yum!!! And congratulations on the bread👏. Merry Christmas 🎄
I love you! Thank you for your friendship this year! So grateful for you. Can't wait to see your new videos! Hugs.
Merry Christmas Lauren! Enjoy your Wonderful Family Time........Your Mom is always with you xo
Milá Lauren šťastné a Veselé Vánoce ať seti splní všechna tvá přání🎄🎄☃️☃️❄❄
Loved this video!!!
Thank you!!
Merry Christmas, Lauren!🎄 Love Enzo, Henry and Pepe! ❤
I’m so sorry you got so sick! Glad you are better sweet lady!❤
Pepe' makes me miss my little tiny chihuahua Chica. 😘
Just found your channel and am very excited to follow along!! Your bronzer comments made me laugh!! ☺️❤️
Thanks for Sharing.❤ It was so nice to watch you while you cooked those yummy recipes and light up your beautiful Christmas trees. Your home is so cozy and gorgeous. Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year to you and your family.🌲🌲 God bless.🙏🏻
Thank you!! You as well!
That homemade bread looked amazing, and I never knew you made butter like that, that also turned out beautifully. But I think my favourite was your Mum's soup, wouldn't mind giving that one a go myself, were big on soup when the weather changes and gets cold, don't think you can beat it for warming yourself up at the end of a day. Enjoyed watching today Lauren, great content.....🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾🏡🎄❄️🎀💕
Definitely trying your chicken parm recipe- it looks great. Thanks for sharing.
Love this video. The food looks amazing and the bronzer gave me a good laugh.
Lauren, Always enjoy your videos. Don’t know how you do all you do. Pumped about the new videos coming out the first of the year.
Thinking you on the loss of your mother, especially holiday time. Understand how your heart feels. I loss my mother in 2020. My wonderful husband will be gone two years in January. Grief is never ending.Merry Christmas from Cumberland, Maryland ❤🎄
I gather you aren't with the winery any more. I will miss seeing their gardens but look forward to what YOU will be doing with the bocce court this spring! Cheers!
Lauren I'm super excited about the plans for your channel! ❤
Girl, I had pneumonia earlier this year. It was miserable and still feel like I sometimes struggle with the remnants. I'm so glad you're feeling better. Merry Christmas
Yummy! Everything looks so good, the bread is beautiful. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Excited about your plans for more content in 2025
Merry Christmas!!!
Your always so inspiring, thank you 🙏
Merry Christmas Lauren to you and your family
I love seeing your mom’s beautiful handwriting. I have some handwritten recipes from my mom that I treasure. 🥲. Last year a made a cookbook of our family’s favorite recipes for my son and future daughter-in-law and gave it to them for Christmas. They were so touched and excited. ❤❤ Merry Christmas to you and your family!🎄
Lauren, I've meant to say this before. You should get books printed for your kids & others with copies of your mom's recipe book. You should be able to with her pages & writing. Your bread turned out so pretty, and I so want some of that soup! 🥰 Merry Christmas, everyone! ❤🎄❤️ God bless you all!
And I just watched a video by another YT, Angie Belmare. She had a company print her grandmothers recipe for a Christmas pudding. They print the recipe card onto the towel so it’s in their writing. I thought that was a spectacular gift idea if there’s a special Christmas recipe but you could do it for other holidays/recipe.
Thank you for sharing your Mom’s recipes, making this for sure ❤
Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family! Excited for all your endeavors in the new year🌟🎄💕
No way are you sharing this!! My husband just made homemade mozzarella and shared it with our charcuterie appetizer for Christmas celebration with family. Very fun to make & hope y’all equally enjoyed it as much as we did 😊
Merry Christmas sweet Lauren,blessings to your family,and looking forward to the new year,Dalia from Floresville Texas way south Texas🙏🏽🎄🇨🇱🫶🏼🎁
I never make resolutions. That way, I never disappointed myself. Lol. I do maybe make a couple of plans, but nothing concrete. I'm actually ready to pack up the Christmas decor so I can get my house more organized and back to normal. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas.❤️🌲
Your channel just gets better, can't wait to see what you have planned for next year!
