Wild rice combines with white rice really well. Less wild rice to more white rice. Then it can be very tasty. You do an amazing job with your meal preps! I only use wild rice in a rice blend. The wild rice is a very small part of the blend. (Your chickens would probably like to eat your wild rice.).
Yes this is what I do too! I try to give the wild rice a head start cooking , then add in the white rice.
Agreed. Three cups white to one cup wild to introduce the flavours. Then slowly raise the wild rice ratio to a comfortable level for your family.
This is how we eat wild rice in my house too. My girls thought the 'black' rice was a fun addition to plain rice.
I was going to suggest this too but I'll just wish you a very Happy Birthday instead ❤🎉
Yes, That same way I use. Mix with different types of rice, never alone. Love it with brown rice cooked with a cream of mushroom .
I love it when Hannah tries to steal some of Benjamin’s soufflé, the look on her face when he pushes her hand away is priceless! Busted!! 🤣♥️
I found my children were more likely to eat the wild rice if it was mixed with white rice. I would then top it with meals that had a lot of texture.They enjoyed the rice they loved and didn't notice the wild rice. I also ground the wild rice and mixed it with my flour to make muffins. They got the goodness without me having to fight them to eat the rice.
Great idea!
I do the same thing in adding a little wild rice to our white rice. About a 1 to 6 ratio. There is also a wild rice blend I buy to do this with. Makes your rice look a little fancier. 😉
One of my favorite childhood memories is coming back home from playing in the snow, getting into some fresh dry and warm socks, and drinking hot cocoa. So this scene at the beginning really pulled at my heartstrings
I love how you use everything. No waste!!
I always enjoy your videos, Jessica! These days all I can think about are the starving and displaced children in Gaza, so it makes me so happy to see your children drinking hot cocoa in the warmth of your home :)
31:20 - i loved how your 3 year old took away the hand of the 1 year old, when she tried to grab something from his plate
If you soak your Pyrex glass utility pan in really hot water that has about 3/4 cup of baking soda dissolved in it then use an SOS pad to get that baked on residue off so the glass will be all clean again. Nancy in east Texas, long time vintage Pyrex collector
Another great video. I just laughed out loud when Hannah was reaching for Benji's carrot souffle. Your little helper is looking like David. Hannah is just beautiful. Have a warm week. Happy birthday, sweet lady.
😊 thank you
I loved/laughed at that part too, so adorable!
Yes, Hannah was so cute reaching for a taste of carrot soufflé off her brothers plate.
Your videos are packed with your love for your family and the knowledge you are sharing for them to carry as adults for generations to come.
May you have 43 more birthdays to celebrate with your children and husband. Happy Birthday 🎂
@threerivershomestead I love your videos thank you so much for sharing I have and am learning so much. I was wondering what kind of wheat berries you used when you made fresh flours in your video? Thank you and God bless you and your family 💗🤗

For wild rice..I make a mixture of brown, wild, red, and black rice. Then, use any kind of broth and seasonings to cook the rice until tender. I use the timing for brown rice, and it turns out great!
Just learned this year that I love cranberry sauce and it's really great on wild rice!! You can also mix wild rice into a porridge of some sort with nuts!
Cranberry sauce is yummy and so easy to make from scratch
I am gaining a lot by watching you and pantry challenge ideas! Found some stew beef in our freezer from last January and have it is the crockpot!
I enjoy watching you cook. It reminds me of growing up with my mom and my grandma. What a blessing. Thank you for all you do.❤️✝️🕊🙏🏼💖💖💖 stay safe, you are loved, and you are enough.
We are in central Ohio so glad I found your channel! I also found More than Farmers and they are from Urbana Ohio !
At 24:05 says Yum! Yum!! So stinking cute! 🥰🥰
It makes my heart happy to see your children cooking with you from an early age. Not only does it make cooking more enjoyable, it’s teaching them how to cook which is a precious gift to them. They also benefit greatly from the confidence and self-esteem boost helping you in the kitchen gives them. Children naturally strive to be helpful (well, most days-some days they are the complete opposite 😊) and their faces light up when they can help and they’ll be proud of themselves all day long.
I see this video has been up 2 hours and already has 1k likes. Others, like myself, must just wait for your Sunday morning video. My husband sleeps later than me so I get my first cup of coffee and sit down to enjoy your videos. Makes for a welcome Sunday morning treat. Thank you!
Just love all your babies. Thank you for sharing them with us. We have a routine after lunch. Grandma says “what time is it boys?”. My 2 & 4 year old grands reply “Rest time,Amen!!” This has been an after lunch routine since my kids were littles. Happy birthday Jessica!
Wild rice chicken soup might be an easier way to get the little ones to enjoy the wild rice. Since it’s less concentrated in the soup it’s not such a big mouthful of the rice which can be bitter. Enjoying the challenge as always!!❤
Also be sure you rinse it really well, it gets the dusty bitter flavor off somewhat.
That was my thought as well. I add it too many soups and some stews. I found that pre soaked wild rice helps with the bitterness too. I also pre cook it for many dishes. For example, a mix of cooked wild rice, nuts, seeds, veggies, dried fruits, with lots of herbs and seasonings. This is great a versatile mix I’ve used for stuffing birds (I know, controversial). I like to add sausage to it for stuffing into winter squashes or other vegetables. And that’s easy enough to turn into a delicious vegetarian or vegan option for some of my family members as well. 😊
We are at minus 40 Celsius here in southern Alberta....stay warm everyone!
I love the real life cooking, using up the leftovers. We look in the fridge and create from what is there before breaking into something new. Also Jessica, for the steak fajitas , if you put a half a teaspoon of baking soda into the marinade for a half hour before you cook any meat, you will have the most tender meat ever, works with all meat. I learned this from an Asian cooking show. You will be amazed how tender the meat is and it does not have the awful baking soda taste. Love watching you in your element.
Happy Birthday Jessica!! We're having a "cold snap "here in Alberta just now. Temps at -40 C which is the same as -40 F and I made split pea and ham soup. I really like adding 2 bay leaves and 1 tsp thyme.
Hello from the Hat! We are making cream of broccoli soup and homemade buns today. And some mulled cider.☺️
Happy birthday! Lovely roses.🌹
My grandmother lived with us and taught me how to cook. She always cracked the eggs into a coffee cup to smell before using; also to make it easier to dig out any shells. 😇
In all those years we never had a spoiled egg; she said “don’t worry, you’ll know if it isn’t good!”
We're not huge fans of wild rice but were gifted a large amount. I mix it half and half with white rice to make it go down easier. Thanks for sharing with us!
There's a Brazilian style carrot cake that can be made with cooked carrots. You might want to see if you can adapt for your gluten-free needs so you can have another option for them!
Happy belated 43rd birthday Jessica another good week of food making
Happy BIRTHDAY Jessica. Your children are wonderful taking on cooking meals for your birthday. God bless.
We don’t like canned carrots either, so I subbed sweet potatoes we canned for the soufflé. So good! Thanks for the recipe, it’s definitely going into our regular rotation
You are so welcome!
Happy birthday Jessica! Thank you for sharing your meals - the pea soup looks divine ❤
Happy birthday, its lovely to hear your family made your day so special, hope you all have a great week.
I use your carrot soufflé recipe for my family all the time and we just absolutely love it!!
I love Olive & Mango's Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup. The first time I made it I accidentally left the heavy cream out but because the rice cooks in the soup, it's still super creamy and I didn't miss it. It's really nice if you're feeling under the weather, too.
Your split pea soup looked so good. One of my favorites.
Omg the Longaberger recipe card got me in all the feels 🥺 I grew up in northwest Ohio and this was what my grandmother used of course. Thank you for unlocking that core memory 🫶
Happy belated Birthday, I enjoy your videos and love your family. It is great to see a wonderful Christian Family on here.
Feliz Cumpleaños! We love wild rice. A good way to incorporate it is to add half a cup to your soups! Let it boil and it gets very soft. It’s delicious !
Such great information! Love your children in your videos. Praise GOD for your energy,intelligence and pure LOVE.
Love the divided plates you served breakfast in.
Your voice is very soothing! I get so many ideas for meals here, thank you!
Mama Baird talks about you so I had to head over to see what I was missing! I subscribed!!!
🎉Happy Birthday Jessica.
I only had 3 1/2 hours of sleep, but after a real struggle to learn to get UP @ 6:45 and improving health, I was wide awake and ready to see what you were up to for the week. I'm inspired to use up carrots that are okay but not great for a Wacky Carrot Cake and Carrot Spice Waffles, both egg free. I love this challenge.
Love how you use every bit of the ingredients in your cooking. You are a great cook
Thank you for being so inspiring! Not only with your own channel, but with the pantry challenge your reaching other people thru the other creative videos you have inspired to share their ideas and stories. 😊
I love how you talk us through your day
Happy Birthday, Jessica! This was a week of wonderful recipes. Thank you, once again, for all the work you put into bringing us these videos. The written recipes help too! I love seeing your beautiful kids growing up (when I look at older videos, It's like they're growing right before my eyes, ha ha). Have a good week.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Hope you had a very very blessed and wonderful day. Great video. Thank you for always sharing
I look forward to your new videos every week! You bring such comfort and "normalcy" in an otherwise chaotic and confusing world. Thank you!
Just wanted to say that your Sunday videos are one of the highlights of my week. I sometimes get a little down on Sundays but seeing you and your family always cheers me up. I am a 67 year old grandmother so I enjoy living vicariously in a large family through you! I follow you, Hollar homestead, and Simple living Alaska every week.
We use our wild rice combined with some brown rice to make a delicious cream of wild rice soup. We use plain almond milk to make the soup creamy. ❤. Thank you for your wonderful videos! 🥰
Happy Birthday, Jessica🎉.
I thoroughly enjoyed the meals and watching little Hannah trying to swipe her brothers carrot souffle.
It’s nice to see another video. We had to cancel the pantry challenge this year. Just before Christmas I had a mini stroke, and the doctors also found an infection in my blood. I am home now and getting the rest of my treatments here, but I have no energy. So, we are buying convenience items like for example bread. We are eating a lot of what we have preserved, but having to split my chores between themselves my family are making easy meals and often it’s just sandwiches, soups and other quick easy meals.
I am so sorry to hear that. God bless you 🙏🏻
I soaked my oats overnight based on a recent video of yours. It is a game changer. Thanks.
So glad!
Great tips! I have found even kids ages 5 and up can help play with baby or toddler for 10 to 15 min increments while mom helps another student with work and then we switch to different student helps with baby.
I always make a grain mixture and everyone really likes it as it has some bite and never sticks together. I do a quarter cup each of basmati rice, wild rice, quinoa and pearl barley. This will feed two to three adults so scale depending how many folks turn up!
I recently found a new way to add "that cream/richness factor" to a soup without using dairy and it was egg yolks. Whisk them up then temper it by adding a bit of soup to the eggs and stirring it together and then pop it all in. tempering it stops if from turning into scrambled eggs. I then used the egg whites the next day by making meatballs.
Great idea!
Wild rice burgers. No clue if you read comments on your old posts, but there are some great recipes around that incorporate wild rice with some binding agents that you can serve on a bun or just as is with some sauce or condiment. Your corn salsa maybe? You can season it any way you want. Do a taco or chili type, or an Asian inspired one, or mild yellow curry. Can add grated veg into them like carrots and zucchini and celery (anything, really) and just do herbs and some tasty fats like bacon or pork drippings. Patty them up and freeze for later use for busy nights. I like them especially well done when the outside gets a little crisp.
Good morning! Been doing the challenge, just not great at filming, lol. You help me start off my week on such a positive note. Have a blessed week my sweet friend!❤😊
happy birthday Jessica! 🎂 good to see david doing his thing for you on your birthday.
Thank you for showing your real, beautiful life & how you involve your kids.
So much better, more nourishing, authentic, and God- honoring than 99.9% of TH-cam.
A very blessed and Happy Birthday Jessica!!! Love your videos and your family!
I love wild rice in my pancakes! I cook it the day before and then add it to the pancake batter!
You are a wealth of cooking knowledge. You need to write a cookbook of your favorite recipes that are dairy, gluten free. I love Amy Maryons family favorites too. Thank you for filming so much for us. And, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! God Bless all of you! Love from Tennessee❤
You inspire me to waste less. Thx
É interessante as culturas de cada país aqui no Brasil o básico de uma alimentação é o arroz com feijão varia se vai ovo ,carne etc ...
Vejo vc cozinhando a carne ,batatad e uma frutas pras crianças é muito interessante a cultura de cada país. Quem sade um dia vou pra aí e saborear as comidas dos EUA
Happy birthday Jessica! I always love your meal ideas! So glad your beautiful family gave you the day off. ❤️🙏🏻Val C
Good morning! Another great video, as always. About the wild rice, we do not enjoy eating it in plain, but.....I learned to mix about a fourth cup of wild rice to white, saffron or other rices and it really makes it so much better. I also put about a fourth of a cup in chili or various soups, stuffing, savory muffins, cornbread (already cooked), salads and whateverelse I can think of. Wild rice is a bit pricey if you buy a lot of it at once, so I try not to waste any of it. I can buy a big bag and it will last a long time because I use a small amount in whatever I'm making. It also helps young ones get used to the taste and texture of it by eating small amounts of it mixed into other things. I can honestly say that we have learned to love it when added to other foods. You may have already thought about these things already, but wanted to share just in case. I hope this helps. Blessings to all of you! 💙💙💙
So enjoy your videos. Thankful for all your tips and ideas. Using bacon greese in mashed potatoes. I've used it for years in my cooking, frying but didn't think of using it to replace dairy if needed.
Love seeing all your family.
Boy, Hannah is a good little eater. 😊
My mom used to make that corn chowder soup growing up and I still make it pretty much the same way you did except I add some cream corn to it also and a splash of milk at the end so yummy! I'm sure you can add splash of non dairy milk to it
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! What a blessing you are to everyone :)
Very nice tips!
Loved it when Hannah tried to snag a bite...... 🤣
Happy birthday, sweet wife, and mom!!
SO MUCH information - so valuable I need to watch several times. You certainly have a way to cut to the chase and provide tidbits of data I love to learn from you! Happy Birthday! I'm so glad you were born - selfish of me, I know, but you are a blessing!
I love how baby Hannah was excited about the chicken and noodle soup. I would be too, it looked good.
Belated happy birthday ❤.
Happy Birthday Jessica. Another great videos filled with new ideas.
Grandma used to make this up the night before, put it to soak in the fridge overnight, pull out and bake in the morning.
Oh some raisins are good especially if soaking over night they plump up.
Lovely inspiring meals! Thank you, Jessica, for putting this challenge together. This is my second year doing the challenge and I have found such joy in cleaning out and using up food that I've preserved. There is just the two of us and sometimes paring down recipes so we don't have a week of leftovers is a challenge. I mostly cook from the heart and don't use a lot of recipes. At 80 I feel I've banked enough recipes that I can put something together and make it work. I use a lot of broth as a base but I love freeze-drying my broth. It is so much more convenient for me. The jars of broth are heavy and I've learned that I can freeze dry and make it easier to lift and use. Each tray hold a quart of broth and two trays of broth fit into a quart. Thanks again! Mary Born, ND
We have always ate wild rice mixed with white rice! Then it's not so overwhelming but you get just a little bit of the different texture and taste but not majorly different!
CONGRATULATIONS to 125K subscribers! 🎉
When we make wild rice we parboil it briefly, drain it, we cook it in food. Takes that dirt, hay flavor out .... we make a casserole with homemade cream of...., water chestnuts, sausage or burger, onions, celery, something cheesy or crunchy on the top. It's yum. We also make chicken rice soup. Wild rice pilaf.
Looking to use that wild rice. This is my favorite soup recipe.
Creamy Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup
1 cup whole, raw cashews
1 Onion diced, any kind will work, I used a red one today
1 lb fresh, whole mushrooms
1 cup wild rice
2 cartons veggie broth (each carton is 32 oz, you may not use all of it depending on how thick you want your soup)
Dried Thyme about a tablespoon
Dried Sage about a tablespoon
Salt to taste
I make mine in the Instant Pot pressure cooker, but you can do it on the stove. Just make sure the wild rice is cooked as directed.
Boil 2 or 3 cups of water, take it off the heat and add the cashews to soften while you dice and chop. They should probably soak about 15 minutes.
Dice your onion and chop the mushrooms and saute them in a little olive oil or in veggie broth
Rinse the rice, drain and add to the pot with the mushrooms and onions, add the thyme and sage and give it a stir.
Set a side about a cup of the broth, pour the rest into the pot. Cook until the rice is done. In the Instant Pot that’s about 25 minutes at high pressure. On the stove it’s probably about 45 mins. Check the directions on the rice pkg.
Drain the cashews and add them to blender with ¾ to a cup of veggie broth and blend until smooth and creamy.
When the rice is done stir the cashew cream into the pot and adjust seasonings as desired.
Stove top cooking will likely result in a bit thicker soup since more of the broth may evaporate during cooking
Thank you!
Wild rice has a very strong flavor. A trick that was passed down from my Grandma to my mom and then to me: take the amount of wild rice you want, rinse in a strainer really well. Put the rice into a pot and pour boiling water over it, cover it and let sit for 30-45 minutes. Then pour back into strainer, rinse and repeat this 3-5 times. The rice will partially cook and the flavor won’t be so “wild” strong. Sometimes I do extra and it freezes really well. Thank you for all your wonderful ideas ❤
Wow did that bring back memories. My Mom always made hot cocoa on the stovetop using cocoa powder, sugar, and milk. My siblings and all the neighborhood kids would come in freezing cold from playing in the snow. We would load our boots, gloves , hats and scarves at the heat vents and drink rich hot cocoa. I’m 56 and that was so long ago. What a nice memory!
Just found your channel its definitely cold here to in Indiana
I enjoy watching you. You save everything! I love that. I am like that and always feel so strange to do it 😂 you make me not feel so weird. Thank you for sharing your life. You are doing such a good job in your home ❤
Happy Birthday! We are the same age! Hope you had a wonderful day!
Ooh - I used to serve my little ones soup in a cup or mug they could hold. That helps.
Maybe try cooking the wild rice differently that recipe probably had too much liquid for a crockpot meal . My friend cooked wild rice for me once it still looked like wild rice and it had the texture similar to steel cut oats . I bought one that was a blend of brown and wild rice that may work better as well. P.S. Happy 43rd Birthday Jessica!🎉💜
What a sweet family you have.
Good afternoon my dear friend, a big Happy Birthday to you!! Looks like you all had a great break, just watched last weeks video last night, loving the fact that you are putting your recipes in the description box now, thanks for that! I have made some of your muffin recipes and they all turned out delicious! Here in South Eastern Wisconsin the Temp is 2 below, feels like 15 below ( Burr) . Enjoy your Sunday and looking forward to next week video!!
Love the Hopes Table cookbook as well! We started our pantry challenge in December to save for Christmas and are now in month two and going strong! Honestly we are going through food faster than I thought but still have plenty of meat for 2-3 months and enough pasta and rice for 6+. Just running low on flour as we bake everything! Family of 6 here and I love watching your inspiring videos!
Happy Birthday! Nice to see you being spoiled!
You are a wonderful mom. The way you cook and feed your family is just amazing. And that little one sure eats everything. Blessings
Belated happy Jessica! God bless you and your family, always. ❤❤❤
Happy belated birthday, Jessica!
Happy Birthday 🎉❤
You are blessed beyond measure! ✝️
Have you ever made a fish pie. Equal parts cod and potatoes. Poach the cod with mirapoix and herbs. Cook the potatoes and drain. Mash together with whatever you like to bind it together. Crumbs on top. Bake until set. We serve it with skinny egg noodles with a simple tomato sauce with just tomatoes and onion in it. Sauce the noodles and leave enough to have on the pie. So like a giant fish cake (we make it in a spring form pan.)
Sounds delicious!
Happy Birthday Jessica! Many Blessing for you in your year ahead! 🎉
Thank you so much!!
Happy Birthday Jessica love your family and how you love to feed them wonderful meals!
Happy birthday Jessica. Kind regards Rustenburg South Africa
