Welcome! At this channel I find 200 year old recipes and recreate them. Watch till the end of the video to see an image of the original recipe [or reciepts as they used to be called!]. Thank you!
I still need to try this. It's gotta be good
I 4H I grew lambsquarter. I don't recall the taste anymore. Too many years. My mom cooked it in bacon salt and pepper. I was only 11 so I didn't cook then. I might of helped.
What were the other side dishes you had to go along with the meal?
We LOVE the original Recipes
Or "receipts" .
I screen shot them all! FASCINATING!!! Thankyou!
Need the recipe.
I know that you're wondering! Lambsquarters are a weed that grows abundantly around here. To me they taste like kale, Ron said that they taste like spinach. You can eat it raw or cooked, though it's recommended to eat it cooked because like a lot of leafy vegetables if you eat a lot of it it can contribute to kidney stones in people with kidney problems. If you have an issue with kidney stones don't eat it. However, for everyone else it should be fine in normal moderation. Ron's dad loves these and eats them like crazy every summer. They are rich in calcium, protein and other vitamins/minerals.
Id be keen to try it! I love trying new foods
Looks amazing 👍👍
Omg we have so much lambs quarter where we live too. We just started to use it in our food and I dried some for tea
They are delicious!! My granny used to forage lots of different greens... and lambsquarters was one she found often.... she would saute it in butter with onions and or garlic or sometimes chives and chive blossoms... I haven't had it in awhile - but I can still recall it being yummy!
Are you truly living in this cabin or is this part of the video series? Either way, I enjoy watching. Not being sarcastic, just curious. God’s blessings
When I first started watching Early American, I saw a plain woman cooking hours to make a meal. Later on, I saw a lovely woman in plain clothes cooking wonderful meals. Thank you for the videos. It's calming and takes me away from our crazy society today.
She just gets cuter the more I watch her vids

Nora tameu channel of cake 👍
@@ThinWhiteAxe by way if reminder her guy swings an axe for a living lol.
I like her dresses. They look comfy. I am a dress elitist as well
Watched this with my 10 year old granddaughter tonight. She found it extremely interesting! She is interested in cooking and history. We continued to watch several episodes! See you have fans of all ages. Thanks 😊
Hello Kathy
My 4 yr old asks for "the old cooking videos" when she has trouble sleeping bc they relax her and help her mind wind down. She finds them interesting as well as relaxing. ☺️
@@PinkSakuraBunnie Awww ^_^
Hi! Early American! I'm from Korea and your videos are so yummy and interesting to watch. I'm a fan of the little house on the prairie. So when I watch your videos, I imagine that's how Laura's mom cooked in her days. And the sounds are so lovely. You are amazing! Thank you!
We used to eat lambsquarters, nettles and wild sorrel growing up before everything pesticides were a big deal. We also made crabapple jelly and blackberry jam. All from the things growing in the fence row. It was a simpler time.
My grandmother made crabapple jelly long ago. Would love a recipe if possible. Need to locate a crabapple tree
@@michelep1130 give me a day or so to dig out her recipe book. :)
It was a better time.
@@michelep1130 @Michele P Okay here is the recipe, I think it can be done easier, but this is how we made it. Crabapples are high in pectin, so you don't need to add it to make the jelly (Hand written note)
Crabapple Jelly
1 lb of fresh crabapples, cleaned & picked
water to cover
1 cup of sugar
In a sturdy pot, place the crabapples with enough water to cover, about a cup or so. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Place the fruit and juice in a jelly bag (a clean towel or even cheese cloth would work as well) and allow the juice to drain fully. It should take a few hours.
If you want a clear jelly, do not squeeze the bag. If you want a jelly/butter consistency, run the crabapples through a food mill. Place the resulting liquid back into the pot (saves on washing) with the sugar. Bring to a boil until about 220 degrees, or around 15 minutes. Take off the heat and place into sterilized jelly glasses. Allow to cool and set. Again, it will take a few hours to cool. Clean the rims of the jelly glasses with a clean, damp towel down to the jelly surface.
You can water bath can them---we never did--at this point. Very carefully melt parafin wax (it has a high flash point, so do it over a low flame). Once the wax is melted, pour into the jelly glasses 1/4" or a bit thicker and allow to set. The clean surface and the wax will preserve it for years. To serve, simply press down on one side of the wax and it will pop up and can be washed and used again for the next season. Wash well or you can get mold.
A bit wordy, but I was translating some of the shorthand that might not be known about nowadays. I hope this helps.
I feel like the only safe option is foraging in your own yard (unless you're part of an HOA who likely sprays to perfection). Most farmers in my area use pesticides. It's just not a good idea to pick anything. I'm limited to what is available in my small backyard, but I can imagine what it was like having so many options back in the day.
I didn’t know that macaroni and cheese was an old dish. I thought it was modern. It looks amazing. Thank you, Justine.
Me either! I didn't know they had any pasta in America back then
Some one else asked how leftovers or just meal ingredients in general were stored. I think lots of us are curious!
Dear Early American,
❤ the Channel. My Great Grandma when I s small child in the mid 60's used to cook that way till she got a modern gas stove. She lived near an old mountain mining town in Idaho.
👍😍
What a fabulous memory!
I know it was but "how" available would dried pasta have been in the period the question just occurred to me, I can still remember my grandma making and drying her own egg noodles but never saw her try any other pasta
Macaroni was considered fancy food in the United States at the end of the 18th century and beginning of the 19th. To the extent that the word macaroni was also used to refer to a man who dressed in a fancy manner, which is why he "stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni". Net/net, Yankee Doodle was a fancy dresser. Oh, looks delicious.
You’ve answered the question I was just about to google lol
I recently discovered your channel and I'm in love with it. To be transported back in time where food was prepared with so much effort and care before the invention of modern day appliances. Keep up the amazing work :)
Your channel is awesome too. So many wonderful bhajans. I've been a fan for over a decade.
They wife used to stay home and take care the family and do the cooking...... They call love your family.
Never thought about trying a mac and cheese pie before, but I'm thinking about it now as that one looks really good, especially with bacon.
It's seems you have occurred a real ladies kitchen. With all pots and pan and also the gadgets. Great job.
🐓🐔We so appreciate all your hard work at preserving history and teaching us as you go along. I am so happy I came across this channel. (Suggested to me while watching Townsends!) 🐔🐓
Me too, came to me while watching the Townsends’
I love this channel. It’s so relaxing to watch you cook in your cabin.
This is beyond captivating! I didn’t even have to watch the the entire video to subscribe to the channel. Literally transported back to a simple time. Please keep making more videos of this era!
Me too
THANK YOU so much for doing these shows for our generation.🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What an adorable little love pie, made perfectly for two!
I adore mac & cheese! This looks delicious Lady Justine!!
Thank you Kerri dear!
Hello Kerri
I love what you guys are doing. It is so interesting to see how early Americans lived. Please keep it up, your channel is very much appreciated. God bless you!
Amazing job Justine especially in this heat. I find these receipts so interesting, look delicious! 😋
Adding more cheese to the cheesy macaroni...That's a big YES! YUM!
Oh Justine , I love watching your videos, I’m in my 60s and they are so relaxing to me. I’m on a low carb diet, so no Mac n cheese for me, so I’ll just watch instead……thank you so much for bringing back the early American cook and how it was really done!
That looks so good! I love home made mac n cheese! Yum!
I don’t know why, but I just love this videos…They are so relaxing to watch.
I have been begging and pleading with my living history museum to see if we can make this recipe and I just wasn't sure how to go about it, thank you!!! All your videos have really helped out 1820s working class me haha
I'm so happy to help! It can be confusing, these old recipes sometimes
Macaroni pies are actually very common in Scotland - go to any grocery shop and you can find them pre-made. :)
@@h29452 that's awesome!!
Sometimes i wish back the good old times... thank you for this wonderful times in the videos❤
Greatings from Eastfrisia🍀
Seems the temperature is quite hot in that kitchen. Do you open the windows while you cook to allow the smoke to air out and to cool down the kitchen a little? Love your videos.
Yes but that lets in flies

@@EarlyAmerican put a fly net
I can't believe you're cooking on days this hot. You have my respect.
I was just thinking “it has to be impossibly hot in there”
Where is this located? I've been reading about the heat all over the globe!
@@shiningstar1869 she is in Missouri
@@leahfox7076 Oh my! I just got done watching the video and at the end it read 104 degrees!! Thank you for your reply.
It was around 104-105 degrees in there. I felt ill at the end of it but I do it for you guys 😆
Hello! I have this idea… I love all parts of your videos but when you do the shot of the cabin with all the nature sounds… it’s sooo relaxing. Ever think about doing a 20 minute cabin shot with just the sounds of nature all around. I would totally watch and listen to that. Especially as a meditation break!
Looks amazing! Love the authenticity! Thank you for posting this, beautiful job!
I just wanted to say thank you. You both help me get through my high anxiety and get me through allot of achey pain, from my plate and 14 screws in my right arm. Your video’s are so calming zen to watch relaxes me. Thank you sooo much~
So relaxing and fun. Thank you. 💗
I never would have thought of macaroni pie during this time period, or macaroni for that matter. Very interesting. Your channels are so relaxing and educating to watch. Thank you!
Look at your channel growing! So awesome!
I would have never thought of it in a pie🥧I am so going to make this now that I have a working Kitchen. I imagine it would be very tasty! Thank you again for sharing, I love, love, love your videos! I think life back then would have been so peaceful - hard in many ways but also peaceful.
💛💛💛
Another lovely post to watch after a stressful day. We all just sit and watch you cook! Looks delicious as always.
I'm gonna need to try some of these recipes. Love the videos, the amount of work is seen and appreciated. You've made all viewers feel as If there in the room waiting for Justines cooking. I was totally taken away by everything. 10s across the board.
This is by far my favorite thing to watch online. Or on tv! Everyday when i come home from work I check my emails. Then I grab a glass of wine or beer and check out your channel. Thank you so much for the work you all put into it.
I absolutely love these videos. To have all the stuff you need, you have animals, a garden, berry bushes, and if you need to turn the heat up, just rake a few coals.
Well Miss, I don't know where your channel came from on my TH-cam line-up today, but I've been watching it for hours now. As a retired, divorced, older tradesman sort of guy for decades, living out of a bean can or a pre-packaged dinner, I found myself saving, and savouring every one of your videos while trying not to drewel on my coffee table and/or my right foot,.. for some reason. ...? (lol)
Thank you very much Miss. I'll be watching you closely !!! I was married to a wonderful Lady for some 20 years whom I dearly loved, but she had some odd idea about cooking like when the house caught on fire, the meat was done..... Thank you very much Miss. I find it just mesmerizing watching you do your thang...
Thank you. You bring peace to my life. I am going through recovery and I find you so calming.
I am so grateful for you and these amazing videos. You are such a blessing to me and I love 💕 your positive vibe.
You all are great cooks what a delicious looking pie yum yum yum
Mac and cheese during the pioneering of America. All those brave woodsmen and women who kept going further and further into the wilderness from the original 13 colonies and they had to have their mac and cheese too. Love it. Lol
As a re-enactor, I love these videos! Wow, I have so much to learn. Thank you for preserving this knowledge!!!
You have such a wonderful presentation of the dishes you make.
I really love how relaxing it sounds in this video and it looks so authentic and delicious😍😋
I dont even cook much but i love food and theres something so calming about these vids transports me back in time. How simple yet seriously not simple times were back then haha no convenience of stoves and appliances. Some of these look surprisingly yummy for 200 yr old recipes 😛
Love wild spinach mixed with diced garlic the best food ever. With fresh beans and home made tortillas M M Good! 👍👍👍👍
Greetings from Romania! 🇹🇩 😊
I really love your channel and your videos soooooooo much! ❤️❤️❤️
Have a wonderful day/night everyone! 😊😘
Some parts of Romania they still cook like this!
@@mountainair Yes, you're right! 😊
Are you Romanian?
My stomach is growling so hard watching this. That Mac n cheese looks delectable 🤤
Looks so good! I love all your videos! Keep ‘em coming
I just came across your channel not long ago & now I’m obsessed. I’ve always loved history and early America.
I feel like a lot of things were eaten in pie form back then. Nothing wrong with that. A lot of things have changed in 200+ years but it’s nice to know something remains the same - mac & cheese is still popular.
Me too. I always to see how have mate
Grateful for finding this channel... I thought of an old tune as you made macaroni and cheese... Yankee Doodle dandy...!
I love your harth an your cast iron cook wear... Thanks for sharing your life with us grateful for the opportunity to learn from you all... Again thanks ✌🏼💗😊❣️
I dont know how people survived back then with limited resources but i know they were grateful for all of it. I found an old 1900s cookbook but have yet to try a recipe from it.
Yummy! Mac n Cheese! My favorite! Looks great, Justine! Thanks for cooking this for us!👍 ❤
Love u guys! Ur videos are so peaceful and bring so much joy! Keep up the awesome work u guys! God bless u both!
How I love mac & cheese in the winter! I always cook it "from scratch" and prefer al dente. I fix it with grated cheddar and minced jalapeno or serrano chilies. I might even add cooked bacon next time. I would love to try lamb's quarters, but have read your "pin" and remember what my mom always said, "Too much of anything is no good". (i.e.,"In all things, moderation"). I love kale, but it gets too tough if picked late in the season. The way I cook tough kale is to simmer it with cooked bacon, diced onion, cayenne and a little vinegar. The "pot likker" (the liquid after cooking) also is so good!
BTW - I get hungry just _seeing_ bacon cook! 😋
Reminds me Little House series by Laura I.Wilder.....🥺❤️So soothing to watch..
Yum!! What a wonderful early 1800's meal!! 🖒🖒💗
Macaroni pies are still very common in Scotland - just had a delicious one for my dinner!
I've never put a crust under my mac 'n cheese, just bake it, as is, but think I'm going to try it, does make it more of a "pie" that way...nothing better than homemade mac 'n cheese...don't understand how anyone could eat it from a box, like Kraft...it's just plain gross!
Cathy's work is gorgeous! I have her book, "Nature, Design and Silk Ribbons". It's wonderful. Silk ribbon embroidery is one of my favorite fiber arts.
Oops! I thought I was posting on Frontier Patriot where you showed the silk ribbon piece!
@@spinningjinn no biggie :)
That iron skillet with tall legs is everything!!! Beautiful
Really enjoying your video!! 🥰👍🏻🐝
Thank you so much for sharing!
Looks delicious , i love this cozy home you have ! And the cooking vids
No wonder it took all day to cook a meal... Not to mention getting water from a stream or well
Fantastic Justine! Looks so very good!
I truly love watching as ypu cook! You are wonderful!
Your channel is so relaxing to me 🥰thank you and I’m learning new things 🥰🥰🥰
Justin, How about a video on how you made noodles. Where did they get a block of parm?
Thank you for this video! 😀🌸
I love your channel!! Not only does it give me cooking ideas
But it's also very relaxing and watch it before bed 😍 thank you ❤️
Looks great, and those extra carbs from the pie crust would come in handy with manual labor or cold winters.
Justine is doing her happy food dance and sharing her secret smile!!! Blessings!!!
I don’t mean to sound dumb when I say this, but I love looking at 19th century homes, and I never really thought about them cooking in the fireplace. 🍳
No I agree! I can’t believe I never really thought of it, but I never thought about them cooking multiple meals or other things by the fire. I just wonder how they could stand it in the summertime.
@@hauntedmushroomsasmr7716 they stood it cuz they were hungry and honestly this was living the good life compared to sleeping on the ground under a tree after cooking on a campfire especially considering there could be some one nearby looking to kill you for your food.
I’m a Kentucky boy that lives less than an hour from the iconic Perryville Battlefield. This is a cool channel.
You are an outstanding cook Miss Justine :)
Hope u were not where the flooding happened stay safe u and family. Really enjoy your cooking and describing the cooking tools and how living was then. Again b safe 😻
I love everything.
The oblong kneading bowl.
The sounds of the flour on the surface of counter and every bit of this young lady's cooking.
The parchment paper and the brand.
The fire cracking, the cover being placed on the pot.
Love it all.
The water being poured into the pan,the solving of the coals.
Amazing work, folks. Love it! Cheers to ya 🍻🍻
That looks wonderful, because you know what makes any food better? Putting it in a pie! I'm curious, however, what kinds of cheeses did they have in this period in the US? Cheddar, I presume, and certainly goats cheese, but what else? Was Parmesan or something like it imported?
Not an expert, however dry cheese like parmesan took much more time and expertise. I'm reading a book that remarkably is called salt and learning a whole lot about cheeses and how we stumbled upon them as well as butter.
@@miriambertram2448 answer the question what kind of cheese did they have back then 😂😂😂
I really like your videos. Congratulations and thank you so much for always posting new videos. A big hug! I'm Brazilian, I live in Brazil.
Justine, your dishes are mouth watering. I have not tried them yet, but I will.
Yay top 881 and top 91 likes and comments. Love this content. Happy summer. Best to you and your family.
Looks delicious, I will try this, abit with a slight modification. I tend to like homemade pie crust as it uses little oil and salt per flour ratio, and is a good method of keeping food for a few days, it's also a tasty way of using leftovers.
Fac8nating to learn there was macaroni or parmesan cheese in that time period.
Looks awsome
It always blows my mind to think about how Thomas Jefferson love macaroni and cheese so much that he had his own private macaroni machine in his house. That's taking it to another level
I feel like they used to put anything in a pie crust and call it dinner 😄
You channel is amazing. Love the ASMR style.
What is ASMR?
I wonder what set you on this path of living in your chosen century, instead of the one everyone else is stuck with? Do you finish up in the cottage after filming and go home to the suburbs or do you live there full time?
I can’t believe there are people who actually believe they live here.
With walls you can see daylight through, I don't think they live there. But, it seems an overly expensive hobby to me
@@Crystalblue58 they get paid for every viewed video and subscription. But, hey, if people like them and they put in the work, then I think they deserve the money.
@Karl with a K I know! I just can’t….lol
Yum I love Mac n cheese! 😋 I make my kraft boxed one with turkey sausage and spinach or broccoli and garlic. It tastes good. How did people get their pasta back then? Did local stores sell pasta? 🤔
I use Barilla pasta only. Its a bit more expensive, but boy is it worth an extra 50 cents or so.
@@jackieblue787 yes I love Barilla pasta. I like the whole grain or whole wheat one or the protein filled one.

Hello Patricia 👋 I hope my comments didn’t sound as form privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don’t normally write in the comment section but think this compliment. If you don’t mind can we be friends ?
We're close to 110 degrees here in Dallas, so you have to be VERY warm there too. It must be really hot in the cabin with that fire going !
Hello Tina
That does look like a delicious pie.
Thank you.
That looks absolutely delicious!
Yum!!! One can never have to much cheese. 😁💖💜💖
Love this channel! This so awesome! Awesome experience and so real! It takes a lot to prepare like this couple did.
Also you guys make think this is weird but every time I eat breakfast I also turn on these videos while enjoying watching her prepare there meal!
Lovely, I like lifestyle reenactment from any era.
I'll be sure to take a look at the 2nd Channel
I 💕💕💕macaroni and cheese! I have been googling how early in America it has been prepared with conflicting results. Thank you!!!
It was probably brought with English settlers. There are recipes for something very close in the 1400s in England, and specifically Macaroni and cheese in the 1700's. Mind you, most europeans would have had a dish consisting of boiled or baked dough and cheese.
Justine's receipt is good and I'm sure she will provide her source, Townsend also has an episode regarding historical Mac and cheese
@@wolfnipplechips Very popular in Scotland still!
Macaroni pies are actually very common in Scotland - go to any grocery shop and you can find them pre-made. :)
@@h29452 one more reason to love Scotland even more.
This gave me an idea at work to do a Mac N Cheese quiche type dish. Thanks!
