Please never worry what others say about the look of your meals!! You’re feeding nine people from scratch, nursing a baby, homeschooling five kids full time, washing clothes, washing dishes, keeping your home clean, meal planning, dehydrating food, grinding oats, grinding different wheats, making sure chores are done, making sure all the animals survive the day, and I’m sure much more. Plus everything required to run a TH-cam channel!
I don’t know of many other 42 year olds capable of completing nearly as much as you do every day!
¹
My theory, if folks have a holyer than thou attitude about the way a house other than their own is ran they can either man up and shut up and pitch in doing the doing or shut up and run away 'cause if they are going to kvitch they are of no good use just tasteless salt and clanging cymbals completely worthless. If they see doing not being done and pitch in they are a friend.
People who leave rude comments clearly don’t understand how much work it is to homeschool and feed so many children. You’re doing great!
Jessica: I woke up 20 minutes early today bc the dog needed to go outside. The deal I made with myself is that if you had uploaded your video already, I would go ahead and get up for the day. (And make coffee and watch your video.) If not, I would go back to sleep 😂 You had uploaded, so here I am! All that to say, I look forward to your Sunday uploads - a little “me time” and inspiration before church!
Totally agree Laura!
Same Routine Here! Dogs, Coffee, Jessica = Me Time! Every Sunday! 😊😊😊
@@tammycarr9637 yup me too, I am babysitting granddog so we got up early
Me Too!! Truly enjoy them. I do feel bad when you have to address the naysayers. I don't care what something looks like if it's yummy and you and your family enjoy it. Who cares. I've made some ugly rustic dinners and loved the end product. Sorry you have to apologize to some viewer beforehand. You rock mama..
What a lovely way to spend your ‘me’ time ❤
Your pantry challenge is way more than meals so I don’t mind seeing repeats. I enjoy seeing how your day unfolds….seeing the daily homesteading life. Thanks for all of the effort you put into these videos.
I agree!
I also agree! I like seeing full days, whether they're repeats or not, but I totally understand that it's more work to show us the repeats.
I know people make negative comments about the appearance of some of your food. It used to drive me crazy you felt you needed to explain. Then i realised most people really dont know what real food is. You are educating them. If they only knew what they were missing... My mouth waters when i watch you cook. It's REAL food!! Not plastic processed pretty little pieces of nothingness! Don't even get me started on how much better real food taste!!!
I applaud you for sticking to your high standards! I was raised eating homemade and my kids were raised the same way! We are much healthier because of it. God bless😁
Jessica, You could take a community poll. My guess is we would gladly all watch repeat meals. I know I would! I love your videos!
Sarah, from “Our Tribe of Many”, pours her pancake batter onto sheet pans & bakes them in the oven. Cuts them with a pizza cutter. Her kids love it & she’s not flipping pancakes for a long time.
I came here to say I use a half sheet pan and bake my pancakes for my family of 6. It lets everyone eat hot pancakes at the same time with minimal effort. I also cook my omelette and bacon in the oven too
Huh. What a neat idea!
So happy you concentrate on nourishing meals rather than listen to grumpy comments about what things look like. You're a very good mom!
Definitely! Feeding a family is about much more than how the food looks!
Jessica, no apologies needed, you say what comes to you as you share your experience with us.♥️ We love and appreciate you!
HOW absolutely gorgeous is baby Hannah...a living doll..love to you all from Australia.
Jessica. Your a breath of fresh air please never apologize for your food’s appearance, your little ones say it all.
Tip for dairyfree ‘parmezan’: equal parts cashews, sunflower-seeds and nutritional yeast, garlicpowder and salt to taste. Grind to powder. Enjoy!
Yes! This is so good! I do it without the cashews and its great too, but I'm gonna try it this way! I add a little paprika, pepper and other seeds😍
Look at Hannah grow!
I wish there was a button to love your videos. To thumbs up them just isn’t enough to express how much I value them 😀
You amaze me every week with what you achieve, Jessica.
Honestly, with a new baby, a husband and seven older children to look after, you're doing a fabulous job. What a wonderful example you're setting your children.
The roses from hubby for each of your daughters was such a lovely thought.
Baby Hannah is really thriving. She's beautiful x
I love your idea of making the muffins in a pie pan, how smart! Thank you for keeping this challenge going and for sharing the meals you make for your family. Count me as one who would not mind seeing repeats because if that's what they want, that's what you cook and making them out of your pantry is no different than making a new meal each night.
I do really like the way you’ve grouped the foods/meals by category this time!!
And baby Hannah is SUCH a beautiful baby 🥰
I can't begin to express how much joy your videos bring me. Seeing your beautiful children make me smile. My youngest is 14 and the time went by so fast. I miss when they were little. Thank you for all the hard work you put in to bring us along on your journey. You are very creative with your meals...and you inspire me.
You might try making your pancakes or johnny cakes by pouring the batter into cookie sheets and baking instead of cooking on the stovetop. Just cut into squares to serve. They bake in a short time so even if you have to do a couple of rounds in the oven it's still faster than flipping that many pancakes on the stovetop. I find using parchment paper or foil and a little cooking spray or oil makes them release from the pan easier.
Sheet pan pancakes would be much less hands on!
Hi Jessica, you have a lot of great content! I’ll have to try the muffins in a pie pan. You are creative in thinking outside the box. I tend to be mostly a recipe follower and then I might make some changes after making it a few times. Baby Hannah is beautiful and so are the rest of your children in the way they conduct themselves.
"On this day" is your catch phrase. Don't apologize.
It's so impressive that you are able to manage so many food allergies/sensitivities. We have similar issues in our home and I know how hard that is! Have a Blessed Sunday.
Your challenge is extremely popular with other TH-cam channels so I wanted to see the creator(you) and I am so thrilled I did just that. Jessica, you are amazing, knowledgeable, inspiring and all the other wonderful things that is good in this world. Lovely channel and thank you for sharing your time with us. Much appreciation from a new subscriber 👍🇨🇦
Your food looks amazing! Stop saying it doesn’t look appealing! Who cares what others think. Haters can scroll on by or just remove themselves from your channel. Your family is fed delicious, nutritious meals. Period! 💜
We had our son 3 weeks ago, and my husband got paper plates as a gift to ourselves🤣 I've surprised myself with how creative I've gotten trying to save those paper plates!
I am single and you are still such an inspiration for me 🥰 I make my own overnight oats/chia pudding, it’s a combination of chia seeds, oats, soy protein powder, and soy milk. I am allergic to cows milk. I have been so so careful with my berries from the summer, but now I am thinking about you and that it is actually January and I have plenty so I can just enjoy them while they are still good. I found a box of both blueberries and raspberries that was a little freezer burned, and a bit gowey. Totally find to eat, but I should just eat them, not portion out 3 at a time 😅 Lord willing there will come more, and I have a lot more, and other berries too. We can’t just preserve and don’t enjoy it, and trusting the Lord with that there will come more, and we should eat up while it’s good is a good lesson.
I love seeing how you feed your family and make do of what you have.
Thank you for sharing!
Love and blessings from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴
I never mind repeat meals, I enjoy seeing your children/family and look forward to your Sunday posts.
I giggled when you slipped and started to say "ugly biscuits", because we have a recipe that's actually called Ugly Biscuits. They're also a drop biscuit and not the prettiest, but they taste good and our children love them! I admire your ability to navigate the various allergies and feed your family well.
I love your videos. It makes someone like me, who doesn’t homestead but dreams of it, take a look at what I have and how I can use it up!
If your lemons and other citrus items are organic then you can make some powerful anti-virals with the peels. Sliced lemon peels and raw honey makes an excellent healing tea. Also I've really enjoyed making my own homemade bio-enzyme cleaner with citrus peels and some yeast. It's excellent for laundry, plumbing and even minor fungal control in your garden! Could make some fun science projects and would give you options while supply chain issues last. All the best to you and your family 😁🙏🏽
Give yourself a break….. your food is always nutritious and those who may criticize, they don’t do all that you do and you aren’t going to please everyone obviously! Go MOM!! GREAT JOB
That Baby girl is growing and absolutely just BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE SEEING ADAM AND KIDS @DINNER TABLE. EVERY SUNDAY MS. JESSICA YOU TAKE ME HOME. YOUR CHANNEL IS #1. LOVE TO OUR OHIO YOU TUBE FAMILY
As always, I'm impressed by your creativity. And those baby clothes are gorgeous. The viewer who made them should go into business.
I really appreciate how you show the various ways you use up odds and ends or small amounts of things or leftovers. I wouldn't call your meals redundant in any way, I call it real life! What you're showing is so helpful and really making a difference. I wish there was a way for you to see what your viewers are doing with the information you are providing because I know you help me so much. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Oh my goodness, I hate cleaning muffin tins too. I make muffin cake in my house. 🙂
THAT LITTLE FACE♥️‼️‼️‼️Hannah is SO DANG CUTE‼️ IM DYIN’HERE♥️‼️😆😂😫🙋♀️🥰♥️‼️YAY BABIES♥️‼️
"On this day " is something I've noticed I picked up from you. I love seeing your children interacting with each other. My youngest is 12, oldest is 26. I miss them all being little and being home. Your videos bring me back to that time. Thank you for sharing your meals and your family with us. We enjoy doing the pantry challenge. God bless!
I love using canned potatoes for a quick potato salad..
I can't get over that people make rude comments on how your food looks. I'm glad you are getting past the rudeness and doing what you do
What a beautiful family you have, little Miss Hannah could not be any cuter! Al of your meals looked so good and nutritious and boy ending it with that beautiful brisket made my mouth water, thank you for sharing.
Jessica, you could definitely be redundant on your meals, it’s a pleasure watching you cooking no matter what it is. God bless you and your family.
Cooking dairy free is tough! I got bite by a tick last year so I have Alpha gal syndrome now and am deathly allergic to all red meats and pork along with all dairy, cheese, gelatine, some medications and vaccines and I cannot be around any fumes while those meats are cooking. My husband has been so sweet and supportive. We had to switch to all birds and seasfoods. Lots of veggies and fruits. All wholefoods.
Alpha gal is a carb that mammals produce... so while we can eat mammals and be OK, if it gets into our blood stream we react... I had anaphylaxis... my throat, mouth, tongue, cheeks, and even the top of my head swelled up, all different times, but 6 times in just 1wk... my stomach was so swelled up with in a 4mo period that my OB Dr. checked for a baby and then cancer... but then we found out what I had at the allergist and it all made sense... but after so many reaction so close together I decided that benadryl wasn't cutting it and went to Urgent care... from there I was put on a heavy dose of ceterizine, benadryl, monalucast, and prednisone... got into a allergist and he did the skin prick test and blood work and it was found in my blood. But it's OK :-) I am alive and enjoying learning how to cook differently! :-)
Just came on to say.....that baby face ahhhh ☺️
So sweet and tiny!!
Love the pie plate idea for muffins! Excited to try!
I recently just found out I'm pregnant with baby #2 and it's bringing me down mentally: I truly wanted to participate this year and record but maybe I'll be able to next year instead!! I'm silently participating ❤️
Thank you for your weekly videos! I love them!
Congratulations!!
@@threerivershomestead thank you!!! 🙏
God bless you!! ❤️
Every video I learn something from you, what an amazing gift you are giving me and everyone else watching. So, muffins I love but the pans I loathe. It had never crossed my mind to bake the batter in pie plates, that’s genius! Hannah is growing so fast! You forget how fast those little ones sprout until you watch one every week growing in leaps and bounds. Thank you for another great video and many great tips.
I think my girls were elementary age before they realized that you could make muffins instead of baking the batter in a pie pan or square baker. It was just so much easier to clean.
Jessica as always it's a pleasure watching what you create and I thought of you as I put away boxes and boxes of canning jars that I need to do some serious canning up. We had our waterline replaced 3 weeks ago ( outside) then our inside waterlines got messed up ( corrosion worked loose during the outside work) so I've been waiting on insurance to pay for the plumbers to come back out so in the meantime I am not trusting of canning anything with corroded water we've been filtering what we drink. Wednesday they'll be here to replace the lines so definitely will be doing a lot of canning to fill those jars back up. We were home all last week with the big C and so thankful for my pantries and freezers we bought absolutely nothing from the stores except a bottle of Nyquil and Kleenex. Praise the Lord I am now Negative. Its taught me a lot about what being prepared means thankful I listened to God over the years and stocked up on a lot of blankets, towels and sheets since I don't have a washing machine because of the low pressure.. we did fine. Hannah is looking so healthy and happy thank you for sharing her and the kids. Anna In Ohio
THANK YOU from a sister in christ in Indiana!! You are such an inspirational role model and I am SO blessed to be led to your channel!! Learning so much. Please explain how you deal with children's toys!
Hello dear. I’ve always wanted to try Johnny Cakes. I took a picture of the recipe and stopped the video to make them for my family for breakfast. I used 1 cup cornmeal and 1/2 cup flour. They loved them! My grandson who is 7 and a picky eater ate 5! -Natalie
Hi Jessica! Please don’t apologize for your “on this day”. You saying this phrase is one of the unique charming things about your presentation no matter how many times you say it. I appreciate and respect you for being you. Don’t change or apologize! Best wishes. Renee from Michigan
What a beautiful photo shot of mama and baby. I respect you so much. The Mom of eight children with a new born and you work so hard. Love your videos.
This Challenge Has Been So Much Fun and I Have Enjoyed It Immensely ♥️😊
We Homestead and Are Building Our Farm, and I ALWAYS Cook Homemade and From Scratch EVERY SINGLE DAY. I've Done That My Whole Life So Far, and I Honestly Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way ♥️
Even Though I Have Been and Already Do This Every Single Day, Your PANTRY CHALLENGE Has Brought Me So Much Joy, Made Me Get Even More Creative, Dig Into More Of My Abuela's Recipes and Bring My Children Into It 💗
Thank You Jessica 😊♥️🙌🏼🙏🤗
Love Always and God Bless Ya'll 💕 🙏

I look forward to your videos each week...I love the simple but delicious meals you serve your family !! Have a blessed day today & that pink sweater looks fabulous on you it makes your skin glow ..and as usual your hair is amazing !! Absolutely beautiful this morning !
Hello Jessica. I really enjoy your channel. I am kind of following your Three Rivers pantry challenge. So in doing that. We found 2 whole chickens from 2020. So we roasted them in our crockpots and canned chicken soup and made 7 quarts of chicken broth as we had just used the last of our chicken broth the week before. Also I spoke to a lady at the store yesterday who was looking at canning lids. I told her about Forjars and told her to check out your channel. Thank you for all your had work.
It’s also going to on Facebook. It’s spreading all over. Thanks for all of the things I am learning doing this challenge
Beautiful baby, and well behaved kids, good job.
Your perspective has been so helpful to me at this point in my life. I used to practice a lot of what you do when my kids were little it contributed to my happiness so much. Do to a lot of upheaval the last 13 yrs I am now at a place that’s better and so are my kids. Although they are teenagers and one is about to be 18 I am finding some contentment in not eating out, saving all food and being creative. At any rate, thank you.
I always enjoy watching your ideas and continue to get different ideas while watching your videos. It sparks my meal creativity.
I just needed to say baby Hannah is absolutely adorable !!
I’m new here and came over from Keeper of my home. Great video and beautiful family, gives me hope for the future ❤
Today we had some leftover taco/empanada meat and potato mixture. I tossed it in some eggs and my kids LOVED it! Hoping to get better at using what we have and not wasting
My daughter loves watching your videos, especially the "sweet baby" (her quote every time Hannah pops up on screen)
Getting VERY Close to the "100,000 Subscribers"!!
You are inspirations to so many!! ❣
Jessica what a beautiful child of God your daughter 😊
I absolutely appreciate how you give full disclosure on the "look" of your food, and LOVE that you show us everything you make. Rarely does my dinner EVER look like it does on the cover of a magazine, but it's edible all the same! So thank you for helping me be okay that my meals may not be "picture perfect"!!!
Thank you for sharing the muffin pie pan tip. I have a 24 muffin tin that I thought would be a good idea for our large family but the pan is so big it barely fits in the sink! The kids complain when it's their turn to wash it lol. They will be much happier washing a pie pan:)
Your children are lucky to have such a variety of healthy foods and I like that your food is based on nutrition rather than making it look picture perfect. I appreciate it way more
I love the thoughtfulness of Adam with the roses very sweet.
I've struggled getting recipes right with home-ground flour. I believe that going by weight rather than cup measurements should work. This just recently occurred to me, so I haven't tried it out yet, but I bet it will get me to use my grain grinder more often.
Thank you for sharing. Little Hannah is so beautiful! Those flowers were a sweet surprise!
Thank you most kindly for sharing your homestead with me. As I’ve commented before, I home educated five now adults, and very well accomplished children. I’m a grandparent and enjoying peace and quiet, and not quite so much production, but I did this all similar to you when I was your age. Please, take good care of yourself as you will get lost in motherhood and forget about self-care some days.
Love to watch you use up all the previous meals leftovers with new meals, so frugal.
Lol I have my little girl listening to you while we do tummy time. She keeps trying to swipe you!!! 🤗 I love babies! You

Hats off to you! I am an empty nester and during the shut downs while my husband was working from home I decided to cook 3 meals a day. It lasted maybe a week! 🙂 Part of the problem was just timing "lunch" vs his meetings but the main problem was that it was HARD work! We quickly went back to our routine of - he is on his own for breakfast, lunch was last nights leftovers then I cook a good meal for dinner plus extra for lunch the next day. You are a super mom! Now go sit down for a minute with your feet up and a cup of tea because you earned it.
I liked the organization of your meals. The food looked delicious-even the rustic biscuits! Adam did well in bringing you the flowers. His words and deeds teach the girls how they should be treated by a male and the boys how they should treat a female in the future, in my opinion. (Far, far off in the future.) Sweet Hannah is growing fast!
Thank you for your inspiration Jessica. ❤
I always look forward to Sunday mornings! Love your content and family! Baby Hannah is sure growing! She is Gorgeous! Thanks again for Sharing!
I am doing the pantry challenge for the first time this year. I've been able to clear out all those odds and ends that find themselves lost in my pantry and freezer. I appreciate your videos so much to get meal plan ideas. I tried your carrot souffle this week, it was delicious!
Love watching you during your daily chores. Your children are so well behaved. I totally admire your calmness.
Glad to see someone else doesn't go with the muffin pan ..I put mine in a cake pan 😊
Jessica you are amazing. I appreciate all your videos. It has made me think a lot of using our food up and being mindful of leftovers.
Yay! Was about to go to sleep ready for my school year to start when I wake & meet all the beautiful children I will teach this year but I am blessed with checking in with your family before sleeping.
Brilliant idea of muffin pies! Love it. Hugs❤
You and your new baby are so beautiful! You and your husband are such a blessing for people looking for what is still real and good in this world. I pray that you will be able to let these people that are hurting in this world not hurt you because you are truly a gift from God. Your family is so blessed to have you and so am I to have found your channel. I pray God blessing you and your family.
Always love seeing a new video from you -- also I'm glad it hasn't happened for you but I have had Pyrex explode when put under the broiler, I looked it up after it happened and it said they aren't guaranteed for anything over 425, maybe your pans are different but just thought I should comment in case! :) Probably because you have baked it awhile before raising the temp it isn't a problem, but in case there is the possibility just wanted to mention it.
I love making biscuits you should try this recipe.
1cup Einkorn flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
N some milk or water
On busy mornings I baked my pancake mix in a sheet pan then all I had to do is cut squares which made breakfast go faster. Also a sheet pan with a rack and I’d load it with sausages so a pan of each was ready quickly……I’d always do extra to have for another Sunday breakfast …..
Can you freeze fresh ground flour to keep it longer….?
I don't even own a muffin tin so I have always just made a muffin "cake" too. But if we make cupcakes I just set cupcake liners in a pan kinda squeezed together and fill them up and bake.
“On this day” is one of my favorite things to hear you say. ❤
I love my memories with my mother cooking and baking in the kitchen. I loved getting involved and helping. Special times😊
"on this day" is such a comfort statement. 🙏
HicJessica. A trick to cutting brownies is to use a plastic knife. It doesn’t stick and slices right through without shredding.
Love your videos! It was so nice to see little Hannah sleeping and awake and being held by her big siblings!
Truly enjoyed this format you used to share your meals for the week. I've been following the challenge (single, retiree) this month and finding that it worked well! i've only purchased fresh fruits and vegetables, and almond milk (I don;t eat much dairy these days). The challenge broadened my perspectives on how I should be putting up food. I don't have a working garden, but the spring and summer brings a farmer's market within walking distance which I gladly support. I used up the last of the produce from my November purchases around Christmastime and I'm thinking that I need to invest time in canning so I'll have a store of those veggies all winter long. This challenge has been an eye opener for me. Thank you for coming up with the concept!
I love watching your weekly updates. I’ve always used loaf pans instead of muffin pans, but never thought to use pie plates. Genius!
The little guy with the chefs' kiss... ☺
Your kids Look so happy.i wish I was little again.we had fun.my mom cook Like can.we had to carrying water to drink and cook.but we had a good Life.kids are not happy today they have to much,I Love how you are raising your kids.they will always Remember what you did for them,you are a very good mom.
Right now we are doing an elimination diet, but when we get to eating different things again, you are my go to girl! Before we started this, many breakfasts were “ Jessica” let’s use things up meals! You have taught me so much, water-glassed eggs this year, and other things! Thank you so much! You’re wonderful and your foods look yummy! ❤😊
I love this challenge! Hannah is so wide eyed and beautiful 😍 🤩
I love when you say “on this day!” It’s so soothing to watch and listen to you share your meals!
I enjoyed your video very much! Such a nice thing to look forward to every Sunday! My grandmother had 13 children, all home births from the early 1900suntil 1935. I loved her stories of the farm, and the old days. She had 37 grandchildren, and I was towards the end of that line, but I got so much knowledge and attention from her, I felt like I could have been the first one. she canned into her eighties. She always wore a sunbonnet outdoors in the summer. I get the same feeling watching your videos, as when grandma told us about her younger days! love your gluten free ideas, (I am trying it for psoriasis) and it's is helping. Also dicing up the pork chops for the younger kids, and having Adam clean off the bones👍
Interesting to see the children are a mixture of left and right handed.😄
So far just the two older girls are lefties. It will be interesting to see if baby Hannah is also a leftie and continues the pattern!
I only had 2 children and we had hamburger helper alot and spaghetti and no allergies to food,.
You are a amazing mom and wife. You are so caring for your family. God bless you.
Thank you again for sharing your time and recipes and your family, seems like they are growing fast, take care, God bless
