First time viewer here. This video popped into my feed likely because I’ve been watching a lot of sourdough focused videos. Not one of them mentioned the rye flour as a way to get a starter going. I am definitely going to give it a try. I am not always good about keeping up with a starter and then am discouraged by the time it takes to develop a new one. I’m also very intrigued by your once a month sourdough baking plan! Anyway, thank you so much for sharing. I will be checking out your other videos as well as the recipes and books you mentioned today. AND might I add, your stove is amazing. ❤️
Hi Joelle! I cannot believe I found your FABULOUS video on sourdough starter. After several unsuccessful attempts at making my own sourdough starter this video was exactly what I needed to see today. So, im not giving up thanks to you!! I will be buying rye flour tomorrow and start over again. I'll definitely keep you posted. Again, thank you so much! You've truly inspired me to keep going and I know I will succeed. Have a joyful day and God bless you and your beautiful family.🙏🏻🤍
I've been searching for someone who uses only wheat berries to make sourdough. I have not tried it yet as I am intimidated by this process. Thank you for sharing. After seeing your video, I plan to try this in the summer once school is out and I have more time. Loving your videos! Love your gold Nutrimill Harvest. It's the same one that I have. 🙂
The Real Deal! Thanks! Yes to wild yeast! Very important information. Love this Pizza, English muffin, Pancake info WOW! Just in time. Noted your very cool counter top compost containers! How on earth so many viewers not give a thumbs up??
Thank you for showing and explaining your sourdough process. Too many people skip over the starter phase. I love rye sourdough bread from Germany and the Middle East. I hope to invest in the Austrian mill for my birthday !
Yeeeaaaasss!!!! This! This is exactly what I need. I had a 2 year old starter that I was tired of maintaining and then it finally grew too much mold and I couldn't salvage it. It was a relief to get a break from it. Honestly, it's really not that hard to maintain, but we've been decreasing the amount of bread products we consume, so the system I had going just wasn't working anymore. So thank you for this look into your sourdough life!
My mother-in-law years ago taught me and if you put a little, honey sugar or syrup and your pancake mix your pancakes a better browning effect, which would taste better. Food for thought.❤❤
Rye is the only grain to feed a starter! Goes ballistic, keeps starter well fed longer. I rarely see hooch when i feed and store starter in fridge in-between uses.
Just found your channel so I’m going back and watching older videos. Your sourdough video was very interesting. I liked how you just used it once a month. So many channels use it daily which seems overwhelming to this 70 yo grandma. Thanks for sharing in a detailed manner. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🤗
Thanks for the routine. This does make it sound much easier. I like the once a month approach. Is there an English muffin recipe too, somewhere? I couldn't find one.
I have also found rye Tobe the easiest and most forgiving starter. I love no discarding. It is just my husband and I at home now. This sounds like a great way to get back into making sourdough after hurricane Laura 3 years ago sidetracked our lives❤
@FromScratchFarmstead thank you mama for allowing us into your home and thus thrusting yourself into the world of unsolicited opinions ❤️ YOU GUYS are so unbelievable!!!! ❤️
I absolutely love your channel. I’ve made so many lifestyle changes based off of watching your videos. I’m not sure if you even get a chance to read your comments but I just wanted to tell you how inspiring your family is and we have some very healthy changes to our lifestyle based on your recipes and seeing how you guys live. We are trying to emulate this natural lifestyle as much as we can and you are just so inspiring to me ❤🎉
Thank you for this simple routine video. I am hoping to start my sourdough bread journey soon and have always felt so intimidated to do so. Also, because we are a big family always feel like I have to make SO much of everything ( I am amazed 2 loaves of bread is enough for a month for your family....feeling like this routine would be good for us on a bi-weekly schedule once I get the hang of it).
You’re welcome! I completely understand the intimidation factor initially. It takes some figuring out and determining how much you need for your family and recipes you like. Definitely no one way to do it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your time to share all this deliciousness with us. You make sourdough seem so easy and I'm going to have to give this a go. Thank you again and God Bless
Hi! New around here. Binging your vids. I havent ever tried to do a sourdough starter before, but not having to feed it every day for life sounds better for our lifestyle. :)
Absolutely love your videos and your thoughtful content!! I’m curious if you would put together a video about how to “homestead” in a city or in an apartment? Small ways for us city families to get involved in a more natural way of living ❤❤❤❤
Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. I think we’ll have to create an updated video like that. We did create this one a year or two ago about this topic to give you some places to start! th-cam.com/video/qozuaqmV_BE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fWETDmZRItaKph0u
Thank you for sharing your routine. So helpful. I really want to try the english muffins! I have a question though. How much time between the feedings when building up the starter?
OK sweetheart I’ve just found your videos watch several and enjoyed each and everyone. Hats off to you that you’re doing everything possible yourselves to provide for your family a healthier life. I couldn’t help but notice that you pack your baby on your back a lot. Your baby won’t be able to develop properly without crawling pulling up and walking. His muscles won’t develop properly. If you can’t keep your trial at bay. It feel a good idea if you get a plague pan that way at least he’ll be able to play entertain yourself not the things around him besides your back and pull up and set up. I hope you don’t take offense to what I’m saying no offense intended, but I’m older and I’ll feel like what I’m saying deserves some food for thought at least. Please consider I think you find it very enjoyable and safe for you and your baby both.❤❤❤❤ty
Thanks for sharing! I totally agree. Babies being on the floor is so good for them! Filming really is only a small part of our everyday life, but it gets tricky at her age with tripods and equipment that we don't want her to knock over. She gets lots of time on the floor and is super active and strong! :)
I've had the same success with my starter using regular all-purpose unbleached flour. I keep it in the refrigerator for months at a time before I use it again. I just stir in the hooch that's on the top and feed it and I'm back in business.
Yum! I have been making sourdough for a few months. Love the deep dish pizza idea!! We live in Tampa, FL, now, but I'm from Arlington Heights, IL! Thanks! 🙏🏼😄
Thank you!! We've always gotten them from Janie's mill but I'm going to try them from Azure Standard next time we need to stock up - there's a definite cost savings there.
Blond Brownies! I grew up with a mom who spoiled us with those wonderful chocolate chip treats! Mom cooked and baked ... I was not interested - - well, guess what! I am FINALLY interested. LOL Life works out that way sometimes. It only took sixty years, but when one is beyond horses and cattle, cooking it is!
Thank you for this video. My biggest concern had been waste if I go to sourdough starter. I love your Mill. I was hoping to choose a Komo or NutriMill for not just the wood exterior, but for the ceramic grind stones, but we just bought a WonderMill (which has steel and crushes versus grinds) to start milling due to lesser cost, but I hope eventually for a hand grinder from Lehman’s. It will be an investment. Thank you again for your epic explanations. Adorable children as well.💝💐 p.s. I forgot I wanted to make a comment about your Aga stove. I noticed that many who choose to live a more relaxing and wholesome lifestyle, choose the Aga. I would love if you had a video as to why you chose the Aga over one of the other stoves the Amish produce and that are sold thru places like Lehman’s Have a beautiful day! 🕊💐
Hi! Thanks for the comment! We landed on the AGA because we found it on fb marketplace for practically nothing :). It was an amazing find and we love it! Thanks for watching!
I literally have that book on my car right now! Love Sandor but wish he would make it more user friendly. Have a feeling most people don’t move forward as more information overwhelms people.
Hi! We did like them! For bread and pizza crusts we do a 50/50 blend of Glenn (a hard spring wheat) and einkorn. For the cookie bars I did 1 cup sourdough starter 2 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup butter 3/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup cane sugar 1 tsp vanilla 2 eggs 1/2 cup oats 1.5 cups choc chips Cream butter and sugars, then add eggs and vanilla. Add in dry ingredients. Then add oats and choc. chips. Spread into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 30 ish minutes It was more of an experiment but they turned out really yummy!
Thanks for sharing, very inspiring. Where did you get your wooden mill grinder, bag of rye flour and other bulk ingredients i.e. chocolate chips etc ... many thanks :)

Where do you recommend buying a safe Rye flour? I had ergot poisoning several years ago from a rye or wheat flour and avoid it. Thanks! I would love to try this recipe!
When you say you feed your starter three times before using do you feed it three times all at the same time or throughout the day? Thank you for all the information! I'm looking forward to using my sourdough starter.
Good question. Throughout the day. So if we start it on Friday night, we'll feed it that night then again on Saturday morning, and a third time after lunch on Saturday. It will be ready to use by Saturday evening. Hope that makes sense! Happy baking! :)
Wow! So, I ordered the book and rye flour from Amazon. How did those chocolate chip bars turn out? Recipe? Awesome video. I have a broken ankle, so I'll have time to really read the book...
Oh no, so sorry about your ankle!! I hope you love the book! For the cookie bars I did 1 cup sourdough starter 2 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup butter 3/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup cane sugar 1 tsp vanilla 2 eggs 1/2 cup oats 1.5 cups choc chips Cream butter and sugars, then add eggs and vanilla. Add in dry ingredients. Then add oats and choc. chips. Spread into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 30 ish minutes.
FYI, For bread freezing, I lay the slices out flat on a sheet pan and freeze individually, then pack into a freezer bag for storage. The slices don’t stick that way. At the time of this video, you obviously had very young children, bc when we had 4 kids, there was no way that one 12” pizza would have been enough for all of us. When our 4th was born, our other kids were 11, 6, and 1-1/2. Even our toddler ate a full slice of pizza at that age!
We typically end up using about 7 cups total, but I always like to have some extra on hand. Start with 4 in the bowl with the rest of the ingredients and mix in about a half cup at a time until you hit the right consistency. Thanks so much for watching!
This is so helpful, thank you!! I’ve been wanting to start sourdough but can’t commit to a daily routine with a toddler 😅 May I ask where you find your wheat and einkorn?
We've always gotten it from Janie's Mill because they are local to us. I'm thinking about trying it from Azure standard next time though, they do have better prices.
Hi! Nope, we let it ferment for around 4-8 hours each time. So, I'll pull it out and feed it at night. The next morning I'll feed it a second time. At lunch time, I'll feed it a third time and then we are ready to use it that evening. For us it's usually about 24 hours from when we pull it out.
Great video! i have a hand crank mill but now I want to get an electric one. I'm going to start freezing my bread now. What's the best way to thaw it or what do you do?
Thanks you! We freeze it in slices and just pull out the slices as needed. They thaw quickly that way and perfect for making toast or sandwiches. We've never tried freezing a whole loaf.
@@FromScratchFarmsteadI freeze whole loaves. Pull out, thaw, slice and refreeze. This allows me to bake less during hot summers. If you wrap it really well it lasts at least 3 months in freezer.
Great video! We would love to start milling our own flour, but the grains seem quite expensive. Is there a good place to get them in bulk? Where do you guys get your whole grains?
Thanks! We've always bought them from Janie's mill because they are local to us but we are thinking about trying Azure standard soon because they are quite a bit less expensive there.
Hi! Here's a short where I put the recipe for the blondie bars. I need to get a post up with this soon but haven't yet. th-cam.com/users/shortsSfjmtgroew4 The english muffins were Lisa's recipe from Farmhouse on Boone. www.farmhouseonboone.com/how-to-make-sourdough-english-muffins
We feed it 3x over a 24 hour period. Usually start it at night and feed it. Then in the morning and mid day to make stuff the following evening after we initially started it.
Trying to find the brand name & IF there a model of your grinder... can you recommend 3 different grinder IF possible. And and... do you know WHERE can i find the grains/rye? I have zero idea about all of this... THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lots of good questions here! I think we will do a follow up video soon answering some of them. In terms of grinding grains, check out this post. We go into some of this more in depth. fromscratchfarmstead.com/how-to-make-flour-using-a-hand-grain-mill-at-home/
Good question! With using freshly ground whole wheat, we've always gotten more of a dense sandwich bread. I wouldn't call us sourdough experts at all but we don't mind the more dense loaf. Thanks for watching!
@@caseylohman3309 We actually found it used locally on FB Marketplace. It was the find of a lifetime! They're way beyond our budget new, but they do pop up used from time to time.
Il n'y a pas des soustitres francais en France/TH-cam France?? Quelle domage. Je n'avais pas trouver que l'anglais closed captions /soustitres. Elle explique bien, comment ils font les pains, les pizzas de sourdough/Sauerteig (desolee, je ne sais pas comment en francais ) Peut-etre Google peut traduiser? Excuse moi, je ne peut pas utiliser les accents avec cet portable. Bonne chance
Even if you use rye flour to feed your sourdough starter, you don’t taste the rye at all in the bread or whatever you are making if you use a different flour for making it. For example, we use a 50/50 hard spring wheat and einkorn for our bread, just use the rye to feed our starter. We don’t taste the rye at all! Hope that helps!
Please make your baby more comfortable with less strain on that tender little neck. The baby's neck is painfully un comfortable. The head is thrown back which puts a horrible strain on that tiny little neck. Please pay attention to that baby's comfort and stop assuming that it's just fine. My gosh watching this is painful knowing how uncomfortable that is.

I hope you know how incredibly blessed you are to have a husband that is so involved in the everyday ❤
So incredibly blessed! Thanks for this comment!! ❤️
Oh, my gosh yes! That’s the first thing that I noticed. Great team work!
Absolutely! I had to give my husband help on how to roast a chicken yesterday….and we’ve been married 30+ years and he’s seen me cook EVERYTHING.
It’s not a textbook
I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR STOVE!!
Thank you! It was the find of a lifetime off of facebook marketplace!
I love how yall look at each other with so much love and not even intentionally. Yall are such a lovely couple!! Thank you for the video ❤❤❤

Hi Joelle! I cannot believe I found your FABULOUS video on sourdough starter. After several unsuccessful attempts at making my own sourdough starter this video was exactly what I needed to see today. So, im not giving up thanks to you!! I will be buying rye flour tomorrow and start over again. I'll definitely keep you posted. Again, thank you so much!

Yay! I’m so glad this was helpful for you. I hope using rye changes your sourdough game for the better! All the best!
I've been searching for someone who uses only wheat berries to make sourdough. I have not tried it yet as I am intimidated by this process. Thank you for sharing. After seeing your video, I plan to try this in the summer once school is out and I have more time. Loving your videos! Love your gold Nutrimill Harvest. It's the same one that I have. 🙂
You’re welcome!! I hope you enjoy the process!! It’s so fun! Thanks for watching.
I've heard whole wheat is scratchy and doesn't allow for great rising in starter. Something about it cuts the gluten? Maybe research this.
The Real Deal! Thanks!
Yes to wild yeast!
Very important information. Love this Pizza, English muffin, Pancake info WOW! Just in time. Noted your very cool counter top compost containers! How on earth so many viewers not give a thumbs up??
Love this comment - thanks so much for your encouragement!!
Thank you for showing and explaining your sourdough process. Too many people skip over the starter phase. I love rye sourdough bread from Germany and the Middle East. I hope to invest in the Austrian mill for my birthday !
You're welcome!! That sounds like a great birthday present!

You can freeze the starter. It comes back to life when you thaw it and feed it with a whole wheat or rye flour.
Bless your heart - you look so tired! Cool flour mill!
Thanks! It's the best kind of tired :)
You are an amazing family. May God bless your home.
Thank you and thanks so much for watching!

@FromScratchFarmstead thank you mama for allowing us into your home and thus thrusting yourself into the world of unsolicited opinions ❤️ YOU GUYS are so unbelievable!!!! ❤️
Thank you for showing so many options of using sourdough recipes. I especially enjoyed the using of an unconventional cook stove.
Thank you! So glad you found this helpful!
Great advice, master one item then add another!
Yes! In sourdough and so many other areas of life! :)
Love the mill! I would store wheat and then grind it .
Thanks! That's definitely the way to go in our opinion!

An extra step but you can slip a piece of parchment between the bread slices and they separate very easily.
Good tip! Thanks for sharing!
Idk if you're allergic but I like to add finely crushed walnuts. Very tasty. I gotta get a mill.
I’ve left my sourdough in the fridge for over a year and drain the hooch off and feed a few times and it’s good to go and I’ve never used rye flour.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your time to share all this deliciousness with us. You make sourdough seem so easy and I'm going to have to give this a go. Thank you again and God Bless

Have you tried rye for your starter? That was a game changer for us!
Thank you for sharing your routine. So helpful. I really want to try the english muffins! I have a question though. How much time between the feedings when building up the starter?
We go between 4 and 12 hours depending on if we are feeding during the day or overnight but anywhere in that window should be fine!
I looooove sourdough pancakes! Try adding some honey in mixture. Super nice! 👌🤤🥞
Oooh! Thanks for the tip - sounds delicious!!

Cream butter and sugars, then add eggs and vanilla. Add in dry ingredients. Then add oats and choc. chips. Spread into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 30 ish minutes
It was more of an experiment but they turned out really yummy!
Where do you recommend buying a safe Rye flour? I had ergot poisoning several years ago from a rye or wheat flour and avoid it. Thanks! I would love to try this recipe!
Oh no! We've always gotten our from Janie's Mill. Azure Standard would be another good option. Thanks for watching!
Do you ever use white flour to make your sourdough? If so, what grain would you use?
We haven't used a white flour. Always a mixture of a hard red spring wheat with einkorn or sometimes spelt flour. Thanks for watching!
If I use loaf pans rather than Dutch oven, what are baking times and temps?
For the bread loaves? We do them in loaf pans at 350 for around 40-45 minutes. Thanks for watching! :)
What is the green cast iron dish by your stove?
It's a steamer pot. We use it to add humidity in the winter. Thanks for watching!
When you say you feed your starter three times before using do you feed it three times all at the same time or throughout the day? Thank you for all the information! I'm looking forward to using my sourdough starter.
Good question. Throughout the day. So if we start it on Friday night, we'll feed it that night then again on Saturday morning, and a third time after lunch on Saturday. It will be ready to use by Saturday evening. Hope that makes sense! Happy baking! :)
That does make sense! Thank you:)
Wow! So, I ordered the book and rye flour from Amazon. How did those chocolate chip bars turn out? Recipe? Awesome video. I have a broken ankle, so I'll have time to really read the book...
Oh no, so sorry about your ankle!! I hope you love the book!
For the cookie bars I did
1 cup sourdough starter
2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup cane sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup oats
1.5 cups choc chips
Cream butter and sugars, then add eggs and vanilla. Add in dry ingredients. Then add oats and choc. chips. Spread into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 30 ish minutes.
FYI, For bread freezing, I lay the slices out flat on a sheet pan and freeze individually, then pack into a freezer bag for storage. The slices don’t stick that way.
At the time of this video, you obviously had very young children, bc when we had 4 kids, there was no way that one 12” pizza would have been enough for all of us. When our 4th was born, our other kids were 11, 6, and 1-1/2. Even our toddler ate a full slice of pizza at that age!
Thanks for sharing! Yes, we are definitely onto 2 pizzas now!
How much fresh milled wheat would you use for the bread? Love your videos!
We typically end up using about 7 cups total, but I always like to have some extra on hand. Start with 4 in the bowl with the rest of the ingredients and mix in about a half cup at a time until you hit the right consistency. Thanks so much for watching!
great video! how did the chocolate chips bars turned out? hoping for another video with full recipe :)
They were delicious!! We'll get that up soon :)
This is so helpful, thank you!! I’ve been wanting to start sourdough but can’t commit to a daily routine with a toddler 😅 May I ask where you find your wheat and einkorn?
We've always gotten it from Janie's Mill because they are local to us. I'm thinking about trying it from Azure standard next time though, they do have better prices.
When you say you pull it out of the refrigerator and feed it three times, does that mean you have to wait three days before you start using it?
Hi! Nope, we let it ferment for around 4-8 hours each time. So, I'll pull it out and feed it at night. The next morning I'll feed it a second time. At lunch time, I'll feed it a third time and then we are ready to use it that evening. For us it's usually about 24 hours from when we pull it out.
@@FromScratchFarmstead Thank you 💕
Please add the bar recipe!😊❤
Ah! I'll try to get this one up soon! Thanks for the reminder!
Great video! i have a hand crank mill but now I want to get an electric one. I'm going to start freezing my bread now. What's the best way to thaw it or what do you do?
Thanks you! We freeze it in slices and just pull out the slices as needed. They thaw quickly that way and perfect for making toast or sandwiches. We've never tried freezing a whole loaf.
Thank you!!!
@@FromScratchFarmstead
@@FromScratchFarmsteadI freeze whole loaves. Pull out, thaw, slice and refreeze. This allows me to bake less during hot summers. If you wrap it really well it lasts at least 3 months in freezer.
Great video! We would love to start milling our own flour, but the grains seem quite expensive. Is there a good place to get them in bulk? Where do you guys get your whole grains?
Thanks! We've always bought them from Janie's mill because they are local to us but we are thinking about trying Azure standard soon because they are quite a bit less expensive there.
Awesome! Thanks!
Where can I find your recipe for the English muffins Sourdough chocolate chip cookie bars?
Hi! Here's a short where I put the recipe for the blondie bars. I need to get a post up with this soon but haven't yet.

The english muffins were Lisa's recipe from Farmhouse on Boone.

What fuel does your red range use and what brand is it?
It's an AGA and it runs on gas!
Where do you get your seed for milling?
Good question! We've always gotten ours from Janie's Mill because they are local to us but Azure standard is a good option too that's less expensive.
We've had a starter in the fridge for over a year ... should we revive it?
Give it a try!🙂
You can definitely try!! Use rye flour for sure!
Loved this video. Thank you.💕NonnaGrace 🐓
Glad you loved it! Thanks for watching!
Brown bread with the rye?
Where did you buy your headband the colorful first one in video and the others. Thanks
They are from naturallife.com!
Thank you! God bless you and your family!
I have to ask where did you get your overalls from?❤
These are from REI! They are thicker so perfect for winter and cooler days!
When you say you feed it three times, is that once a day for three days?
We feed it 3x over a 24 hour period. Usually start it at night and feed it. Then in the morning and mid day to make stuff the following evening after we initially started it.
@@FromScratchFarmstead Thank you! Loved the info on the video!
Trying to find the brand name & IF there a model of your grinder... can you recommend 3 different grinder IF possible. And and... do you know WHERE can i find the grains/rye? I have zero idea about all of this... THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lots of good questions here! I think we will do a follow up video soon answering some of them. In terms of grinding grains, check out this post. We go into some of this more in depth. fromscratchfarmstead.com/how-to-make-flour-using-a-hand-grain-mill-at-home/
Tell me about your stove!
It's an AGA!! We have a few other specific AGA videos that go into more detail!!
Do you have a link to your Amazon storefront?
We don't actually have one! This has been on our list to create but hasn't happened yet!
Thanks for sharing🌺👍🌺👍🌺👍
You're welcome!!
Supermom for sure 😊
Where do you get your flour?
We've always gotten our grains from Janie's Mill which is local to us. Azure standard would be a great option too and is less expensive.
How do you make your sour dough starter? Just subscribe to your channel
Awesome - So glad you are here!! I followed the directions exactly from the book The Art of Fermentation by Sandor Katz to make our sourdough starter.
is the crumb supposed to be that tight and gummy?
Good question! With using freshly ground whole wheat, we've always gotten more of a dense sandwich bread. I wouldn't call us sourdough experts at all but we don't mind the more dense loaf. Thanks for watching!
I lik canberries in my bread.
So sweet 🙏🏼👍💗💙🐣 Thanks for sharing Sub’d
You're welcome! So glad you're here!
❤❤
That stove tho
We love it - The center of our home :)
Where did you get the stove?!
@@caseylohman3309 We actually found it used locally on FB Marketplace. It was the find of a lifetime! They're way beyond our budget new, but they do pop up used from time to time.
crumpets
Dommage que je ne comprends pas un mot 😢🎉
Sorry!
Il n'y a pas des soustitres francais en France/TH-cam France?? Quelle domage. Je n'avais pas trouver que l'anglais closed captions /soustitres. Elle explique bien, comment ils font les pains, les pizzas de sourdough/Sauerteig (desolee, je ne sais pas comment en francais )
Peut-etre Google peut traduiser?
Excuse moi, je ne peut pas utiliser les accents avec cet portable.
Bonne chance

Thank you!! ☺️
I'm getting dizzy just watching her. My goodness 4 kids to boot!
Ha! We all sleep good at night, that's for sure!
Do you rinse out and reuse your ziplocks?
Guilty! 🙄🙈
I don't care for "Rye" flavor... 😢
Even if you use rye flour to feed your sourdough starter, you don’t taste the rye at all in the bread or whatever you are making if you use a different flour for making it. For example, we use a 50/50 hard spring wheat and einkorn for our bread, just use the rye to feed our starter. We don’t taste the rye at all! Hope that helps!
@@FromScratchFarmstead Good to know! Thank you!!
This just seems like too much stress to make
I get it! To each their own. There is something about the slow process that's really fun and rewarding for us!
Please make your baby more comfortable with less strain on that tender little neck. The baby's neck is painfully un comfortable. The head is thrown back which puts a horrible strain on that tiny little neck. Please pay attention to that baby's comfort and stop assuming that it's just fine. My gosh watching this is painful knowing how uncomfortable that is.
Thanks for the feedback and for watching.
My god u need to slow down on d talking
Ha! So much to get in :) Thanks for watching!
OK sweetheart I’ve just found your videos watch several and enjoyed each and everyone. Hats off to you that you’re doing everything possible yourselves to provide for your family a healthier life. I couldn’t help but notice that you pack your baby on your back a lot. Your baby won’t be able to develop properly without crawling pulling up and walking. His muscles won’t develop properly. If you can’t keep your trial at bay. It feel a good idea if you get a plague pan that way at least he’ll be able to play entertain yourself not the things around him besides your back and pull up and set up. I hope you don’t take offense to what I’m saying no offense intended, but I’m older and I’ll feel like what I’m saying deserves some food for thought at least. Please consider I think you find it very enjoyable and safe for you and your baby both.❤❤❤❤Ty
