Nothing wrong with an inexpensive filling and healthy dinner. People will always complain, but full bellies and healthy kids are what matter in the end!
I love this! Growing up I spent a lot of time at my grandparents house and beans and cornbread was a regular dinner for us. When we had family dinner with all the aunt's, uncle's and cousins we still had a big ol' pot of pinto beans and a skillet of cornbread. That meal brings back so many memories.
It's so nice to see kids playing outside exploring nature instead of playing on cell phones or a television! I'm 22 and I feel like I grew up on the edge of the digital transition. Whenever I babysit my boyfriend's 10&11yo siblings, they only want to play video games or watch tv and it drives me crazy!
I agree. I love watching her kids play. I've never seen them act mean mean to each other. The older kids look after the younger ones. They remind me of the kids from the Waltons!
Natalie Renee I realise I'm writing this a year on, but I totally agree it's wonderful seeing kids play outside! I'm very lucky my grandson is hard to keep inside rain or shine he wants to be outside playing. I know that many of the kids I know his age (he's 5) are already obsessed with all things digital and are only outside maybe once or twice a month. They are missing out on so much by being kept indoors and babysat by their tvs and tablets
Yup.. whats even sadder is seeing a three year old on an ipad instead of exploring the world. Im so grateful i grew up in the 80s and 90s!! Although on the other hand they need these skills to do everything these days and thats going to only get more and more complexed and more widely used in everyday life.. so you cant win there. And with all their peers spending all their spare time on gaming you are pressured into letting them do it too. I remember my 12 year old son (4 years ago) begging me for gta 5!!
Jamerill, you are the bomb girl. I just threw frozen fries into the oven and getting ready to put hot dogs in a skillet so my kids can eat tonight. So many have nothing at all to eat, I am thankful we have plenty! My moma makes the best soup beans ever and she always uses beef bouillon cubes, I also love onion in ours. I have struggled lately with supper, so my bag of beans are now on the counter so I can soak them for tomorrow! My kids LOVE LOVE butter in theirs. I love your videos, I always feel like I get to hang with a cool mom friend when I watch. Please don't ever change.
Jamerrill, another great video. But Girl, you even had company coming and you still made a video, thats what you call a devoted You Tuber. You always shine in my book. Keep on doing what makes you happy. Have a blessed week.
Jamerrill....to me, it is so sad that you would even need to talk about a "disclaimer" regarding the food choices you make. I just appreciate that you share a little of your lives with others. Your recipes and your attitudes truly help me. If there is something in one of your videos that won't work for me and my family.....well, that's just part of life because we are different...and I would never dream of commenting something negative. Again, thank you for all that you share! My mom is from the South and I grew up on beans/rice and cornbread...and my mom ate raw onion with almost everything!
I agree. Truly a blessing to watch...I'm sorry you feel like you need to explain your choices on food; but I know there are naysayers. Keep being a blessing to your husband, children, and us!
I'm so happy to have found your videos! My 12yo daughter and I like to watch videos and it can be tricky to find appropriate videos to watch. Even some that seem like nice cooking or shopping videos have less than desirable language. So...thank you so much for being great!!
the best way of cooking rice is u put oil onion and garlic let it brown up a bit, then u put the rice let it sit with the garlic and onion then hot water and let it boil till the water is pretty much goin then put the lid and turn down the heat let it cook alone, and dont forget to put salt while the water is on, it taste amazing, (brazilian way )
Karolina Angelo hahaha Portuguese way to I was reading your comment and I thought this women is portuguese hahah afterwall is brazilian ;) we of course use pure olive oil mmmmmm Hugs from Portugal😍😍
I add blended tomato, garlic and onions. Then some seasonings, add some water. Brown the rice with some oil, then add the blended mix. Bring to a boil,and cover turn heat down.
Love this video! Growing up we always put ham hock or bacon fat in our beans which is totally unhealthy, however we never had sugar in our cornbread. I remember in high school having sweet cornbread for the first time and it was soooo different. I can definitely see how those who grew up with sweet cornbread may not like it without sugar, but I personally prefer it without. I have always wanted to try bread machines so I love when you bring them out and show us!
I grew up here in Georgia with pinto beans and corn bread(iron skillet and baked in the oven). They are yummy! I get so excited for you when I see you in your new, large kitchen! Idk how you managed before in that small kitchen with your large family. Really love your new house!
I just got a bread machine, NEVER used still in the box for 1.50 at a thrift store! I tried your banana bread and put in a cup to much flour, (Perhaps because I was working in 3 recipes at one time), going to try it again today. I feel like my life has been empty without this baby! I am a food blogger and there is NO shame in letting a machine do the work, no how, no way! I understand the justifying your food preferences, I used to deal with it often, 5 years later, I no longer defend it. I agree, you do you, and I will do me and Harry can do Harry and so on and so forth! Love your videos Jammerril, been watching a long time! Your positivity and encouragement and downright "real" life, make my heart happy!
I'm so glad you're making videos regularly again! Living on the bayou in Southern Louisiana, I can cook beans and rice in my sleep, lol! It was fun to see how other people cook it. Also, you look great!
Thank you for posting this! I was watching and said to myself, "Wait! I have that same bread machine", so instead of just watching, I paused, ran into kitchen, and cooked a batch of cornbread right along side you :) I used your recipe, but since we're dairy free and gluten free, I subbed rice milk and my favorite blend. It worked perfectly. Thanks again!!
I loved this cooking demo., and this meal looked so yummy and frugal too. I love how you like to budget, with having such a large family, and I also love how you so calmly take care of your children, with your sweet, soft voice. That must be such a comfort to them and they'll remember it forever!! I admire you so much!!
You're such a nice natured kind hearted person... you've given me a few ideas to freeze meals for when I work late shifts to feed my family... So thank you Jamerrill x
I just started watching your videos and love them! The kids watched this one so looks like I’ll be attempting beans,rice and cornbread! Much love from London,England!❤️
I love good ol beans and rice in mine I also chop up carrots and celery to bulk up the veggie factor and girl...I use the beef bouillon all the time!!! thanks for sharing your simple cheap way of getting food on your table for your family
I love your videos because it's the way a lot of us are doing it! When you say in a "perfect world" I of course know what you mean but in my perfect world you enjoy your kids and life and try to still get a good meal for your family on the table. So, I appreciate your honest videos! The ones that make everything look "perfect" aren't relateable for some people. Thank you for these and seeing you with the little ones reminds me of how I was with mine. Goes by too fast! Enjoying that is perfect!
Add some lettuce N onions bacon and hot bacon grease poured over drizzle vinegar.. love it with beans and saurkraut and hotdogs fried in a lil bacon grease.. not maybe everyone's cup of tea but in ky.. we love it.
I had no idea you could make cornbread in the bread machine. Boom! That was my mind being blown. I just love chickens. Your little fenced in area and the little house you have for them is very cool. Your ladies look really happy
There is several things I lie about you and your channel is that you cook real food with make the cheaper than people even realized which are large when you have a large family and stuff and you know I really do appreciate that
You are such an inspiration. I cook my beans with bacon in a crock pot and cornbread in a skillet in the oven. Love onions with it as well. I may make this tonight. God bless you and your family!
just wanna say that I really love your vlogs or anything you post on TH-cam. it's very real!! keep it this way. too many youtubers just lost it when they get approached by big companies.
lol The bread machine is one of those things that people buy and RARELY use! Everyone wants one but not many use them lol So when you find one at the thrift store there's a decent chance it's only been used a couple of times if not less! lol
This was a great video..I think my family will love it...everything...beans,rice and especially cornbread.I can't wait to make this supper for the gang.Thanks Jamerrill.
I've just started watching your videos and I have to say you have a great personality! You seem like a fab mama and an all around lovely lady. I don't have a big family (just me, hubby and baby) but I'm learning so much from your channel, so thank you! 😀
I don't soak my beans either. I just wash them and go through them well and make sure no rocks, dirt or bad beans get in my cooking pot. Usually, when we are eating beans and rice for a complete meal, it's usually on my wash day"Monday" and its always my family recipe of Cajun red beans and rice! Your idea for cornbread is great!! I gotta try that sometimes, maybe this weekend??? Great channel!!
People are foolish. You cook as you see fit. I have watched enough your videos to know that your family eats nutritiously. A block of processed cheese? So the heck what. Bullion? big deal, lots of people use it ... and for the size of the pot, the amount you put into is sufficient and not excessive. Seriously, the arm-char chefs need to stop. You budget well and feed your family properly.
Globie it’s not about being an arm chair chef...processed cheese is trash and really not good for you. And bullions are verrrrry heavy in sodium. It’s okay to comment about that.
@@michelea2326 Really? Would you make that comment if you were invited into their home for dinner? Or would you eat what was put before you and say thank you! If you don't like what she is cooking, go to another channel. There is no reason at all to be critical unless the host of the channel asks for advice!
Michele A They don’t eat that everyday and even if they do, what does it have to do with you? In this 21st century, I’m sure most people in developed countries know about nutrition and from this point on, its all about choice. You’re just jealous you can’t afford all that food
Yummy. I've been baking our brown rice [the method Alton Brown shared] with beef broth instead of water. My husband loves it. Whatever works for your house right.
As a kid we loved adding a good squirt of ketchup to our bowl of beans. 😋 Since I got my instant pot, I’ve discovered “ham stock”. I stick a couple of ham hocks in the IP, fill it with water, pressure cook for a couple of hours, then pick all the meat and freeze it with the stock for future pots of beans. Also, a bay leaf is a great addition while cooking the beans. =)
I just love your videos! I have 2 very young girls and it feels like I have no idea what I am doing half the time. watching your tips and advice really does encourage me!! I feel like I am having a chat with a good friend!
Thank you for your honesty! Keep up with what you're doing. You inspire and encourage me to be a better mom. Mom of five here and fostering one too. :) I would love to see the upstairs where the kiddos sleep to see how your room arrangements are set up. We have kids sharing rooms and would love some new ideas. You are a great blessing to me and I just feel peaceful watching you.
I have to tell you I love this recipe. We have had this many times over the past month or two and it is a hit. I have learned to soak the beans ahead of time and then cook on low in the crock pot; it just seems to turn out the best for me that way. It was dinner again tonight. Thanks again!!!!!!!! -- Lisa
Love this channel! I'm a homeschool momma with 2 little ones I teach, and a baby. I find your vlogs very helpful and positive! Hope you never let the negative comments change the way you vlog because I love it how it is :) Oh, and Banana bread also freezes well too!
Thank you for this! I made this tonight - so yummy and easy! I would love to see the banana bread in the bread machine. Yummy! Speaking of cornbread, something I have done is make a tamale pie by putting chili in my crockpot and then pouring the cornbread batter (mixed) directly on top to bake as a crust. I love your recipes and ditl's.
I love your videos! I'm not a mum or anything, just a 21 year old culinary student/worker. Just a tip if you pre wash your rice you can add just under the double amount of liquid because it absorbs some of it. Another tip is you could make a rice pilaf instead of cooking it ahead. It takes about 45 minutes and it would be ready just before your beans are done :) can't wait for another cooking video x
I grew up on LOTS of rice and beans but they were seasoned a little differently I grew up in Puerto Rico but I LOVE THEM!! GREAT VIDEO love your back yard.
Banana bread is so good. You reminded me I need to make some sometime soon. I'm glad you said the saying, "You do you." It's so true! Thank you for sharing.
Love your spacious kitchen! I'm Tex-Mex, so we do pinto beans as well with slightly different variations. Usually I use the crock pot, didn't know there was a quick method, good to know. Love home made bread & didn't know corn bread could be done in bread machine. Can't wait to try. Thanks for sharing this.
yum! I add smoked turkey legs. (boiled them separately for 2 hours, then take all the meat off the bones). it takes time but love the steward add the meat back in. I also add 4-6 carrots and 3-4 whole garlic cloves. I boil the beans with 2-3 bay leaves. Your food looked delicious! The corn bread...mmmm.... I can almost smell it... I believe I'll be making your menu soon!
Now I want beams & rice! haha what a great idea to make a big pot for the entire weekend. thank you for share your tips! I love our 2 bread machines. I've never made cornbread in them. I'll be doing that soon for sure now. we add honey instead of sugar & my children love it. thank you for taking the time & making the video. God is so very food to us all! Hugs from California!
I was so excited to see a video from you Jamerrill! I know you've been super busy but I have really missed you. Your dinner looks yummy. We have pintos and cornbread here too...and we also use onions. But when I first started dating my hubby (over 32 years ago, how can that be since I'm still 30?!), his family added a dollop of Duke's mayo on the side of the bowl...and then stirred it in. I thought they were plumb crazy but I finally tried it...LOVED IT! Now all of our grown children do that too. The craziness continues!
hi Jamerrill, i love pinto beans too. i use a couple of ham hocks and boil them for about an hour to break them down. toss in the beans and onion. i love your videos and you as well. i am also a Christian. you ard so sweet and i love your kids too. God bless you, your a great Mom!
Love watching your videos, even though we had COMPLETELY different lifestyles. But that’s the best part of TH-cam, isn’t it? Getting to learn about folks that do things differently! :) I don’t have a big brood to feed, but cooking for others is something I’ve always enjoyed. Sometimes when I watch your videos, I think to myself, ‘man, I would LOVE to go cook for her family for a week!’ Lol! I’ve never commented before, but the beans made me think about my own parents. My mom passed away a few weeks ago. Due to her illness over the past few years, I have been preparing food - ‘homemade TV dinners - for my dad, who is 80 and hasn’t cooked anything except a crockpot full of beans since he was in the army 60 years ago. Both of my parents were country folks who raised us on a farm in a rural town. We ate a lot of pots of beans growing up, because we all liked them. But my mom used to talk about growing up ‘poor as a church mouse’ and eating beans and taters ate many, many meals. She talked about adding seasoning meat because they couldn’t afford a big piece of ham. Also, my sister and I carry on her tradition of adding sweet pickle juice to our beans. It doesn’t taste right to me with out the pickle juice! I asked mom where that came from, she said when she was growing up, they ate so much beans and taters, they would put anything in them to make them taste just a little bit different. And since they canned pickles - mostly sweet pickles - from their garden every year, they often added the pickle juice to ‘liven up’ the beans. Even when she could afford to add a a ham bone or even ham chunks, we still always added the pickle juice to our beans (still do!) and served them with fried potatoes, instead of rice, and sweetened cornbread! This video brought back a lot of good memories for me! :)
I grew up eating beans and corn bread as well. my grandma always put bacon in the beans if we didn't have left over ham and we layered it with the cornbread on the bottom with the beans on top sooo good!
I never really realised why beans are so popular in large families or in low budget meals untill I checked the nutritional value, and oh my god! So much protein and fibers! I just discovered your channel, and I am not a mom but I normally cook for my family, so it's nice to see some easy recipes.
Gosh I'm so excited for you and the new house/land! .. My kids are liking beans and rice too, oh they always ask for cornbread with chili! ... The shirt brightens you up!
It's three some years after you posted this and I still enjoy it! I am putting this into our meal rotation when it cools off. Knowing Kansas it will be sometime in December, lol.
Looks so easy and hearty. I make a similar bean, but its more of a soup. I use northern beans and add ham, tomato, onion, pepper. I cook is slow and at the end take a little of the beans and mash them up to make it creamy. I will have to make corn bread. Love your new home.
Love to watch you !! You asked us to share. I love to make Great Northern Beans--made similar to pinto beans.We like ham in ours. Then I add onions, carrots and toward the end- diced potatoes. The leftovers can have some chopped chicken and some chili spices and some additional broth--you have white bean chili. I am lazy--I use Jiffy cornbread mix--but add oil, egg, a bit of sugar and a small can of diced green chilies.
HI Jamerrill! I just love your videos, I am so happy to see you in your new home! How wonderful! Keep up the videos, you are such an encouragement to all.
You and your home are just so lovely and warm. Have you ever thought of doing something like a Titus 2 series? You have so much wisdom to share with new mamas. 😊💗
Thank you so much for sharing all that you do! I just happened to stumble across your channel the other day. I'm a fellow homeschool mom and so your title just caught my eye! :) I LOVE what I am watching. I have a smaller family of 5, but that still keeps me busy too girl! lol Great channel!
Hello! Thanks for a great video, I can't wait to try the cornbread, I love using our bread machine too, love the sound & oh the smell, yum! Your house is beautiful, so happy for you, hugs!
hi from AK, I grew up in CA on a farm beans and cornbread buttermilk onion and greens We always had either salt pork, hog jowl, bacon or ham in our beans Topped them with mustard, or chow chow relish , hot peppers and onion on the side, fried tators instead of rice with turnip greens and corn on the cobb. Still cook them today, Love your website!
I'm from New Orleans so beans and rice on Mondays is a tradition. Your recipe looks tasty. We always add lots of celery,onion and bell pepper at the start, it really adds to the flavor. And of course andouille sausage. TFS
Crumble the cornbread on top of the beans and rice then top it with green onions then squirt mustard on top. Mmmmmmmmmm, that's how my mom made it for us 40 years ago. Sounds weird but it's delish.
Hi great video. I just wanted to say I never thought to put beef bouillon in the beans. I will definitely try that. we use salt pork or the bone of the ham we had from Christmas taken out from the freezer that we cook with. I was also taught to take the "gas" out of the beans right before you take them off the stove get a small pan put a teaspoon of oil and a tablespoon of flour and fry up the flour per say and then add that to the beans. That is just a New Mexico tradition that has been handed down for years. However your whole meal plan was fabulous, nutritous, and inexpensive. You made me want to go hunting for a bread maker!!
I cook beans often. I live in KY and am just a country cook at heart. We love Pinto or brown beans as we call them but my favorite bean is Navy bean soup. I cook navy beans with chopped carrot, celery, onion, and a can of tomato sauce. I season with Salt and Dried Red Pepper flakes and either a ham hock or a few slices of bacon. When the beans are almost done I dice a couple of potatoes and cook just until the potato is done. It makes a delicious bowl of soup served with the cornbread. I often get asked by several friends if I will make them some. We were only fortunate to have one daughter who is 25 and out on her own but I came from a family of 6 so I still cook and either have planned leftovers or I share with family and friends. Awe eat chopped onions in our beans too. And hot sauce. With pinto or brown beans I like to add salsa and grated cheddar cheese for a change of pace sometimes.
I always pick through my pintos before rinsing/soaking/cooking because I have found small rocks in the beans. I do love cooking them in the crockpot after overnight soaking. I add olive oil, carrot, celery, and onion to the beans when I start them in the crockpot and then have fresh chopped onions and sliced pickled banana peppers at the table. Then even my vegan child can eat them. Besides, they are yummy! Love your videos! Thanks for doing all the work to make them and get them online. :)
I love how you remind everyone that it's okay to not be the "magazine mom" that being the best mom you can he makes you a fantastic mom and wife. So many young women nowadays in my generation either fall very short of the wife and mom role of they try so hard that they lose the joy of our natural born role as women. I love how you keep it simple and put together but remind us all that it isn't easy and some times life makes ya just roll with it!!
Somehow, I'm able to watch You Tube with back to back videos! I just choose a video, and make sure I click "On," and the video will continue playing. Sometimes, the videos are grouped into the same topic, usually it's the the same vlogger. I love this new program!
I fry onion, garlic, tomato and some kind of meat.. chorizo, pork, bacon, even hotdog pieces. After it's sautéed a little fill with water and some cilantro let it cook and it's so good. Also for simple dinner just cook beans with some whole garlic, half onion and some olive oil and serve with chopped onion, fresh chopped tomatoes, and green chili, fresh cheese.
Wow thanks for the idea of cooking cornbread in the bread machine..I usually only cook banana bread or zucchini bread..I’ve had for a year or two and I am going to try it! I cook beans all the time too simple but yummy! Thank you..
New subscriber here, really enjoying your videos. I will say, we are a big beans and corn bread family as well. I often find small stones in the beans so sorting them beforehand is a good idea. Love the idea of making the corn bread in the bread make, a time saver for sure!
Nothing wrong with an inexpensive filling and healthy dinner. People will always complain, but full bellies and healthy kids are what matter in the end!
+Carlyn Prato Amen to that!
Carlyn Prato too right sometimes that’s just what you fancy that day & knickers to haters.
And tasty
I love this! Growing up I spent a lot of time at my grandparents house and beans and cornbread was a regular dinner for us.

Can I just say how sweet she is? I mean she's going out of her way to be respectful about the beliefs of people online that she doesn''t know.
Jamerill, you are the bomb girl. I just threw frozen fries into the oven and getting ready to put hot dogs in a skillet so my kids can eat tonight.

You are a shining light, Jamerrill! Your grace and loving demeanor encourage me every day. I am so thankful for you.
It's sad that you have to defend your self for using white flour. People are crazy! You do you Is so right !!
Jamerrill, another great video. But Girl, you even had company coming and you still made a video, thats what you call a devoted You Tuber. You always shine in my book. Keep on doing what makes you happy. Have a blessed week.

I'm so happy to have found your videos! My 12yo daughter and I like to watch videos and it can be tricky to find appropriate videos to watch. Even some that seem like nice cooking or shopping videos have less than desirable language. So...thank you so much for being great!!
Check out This Gathered Nest on youtube! They are another great family with 5 kids, her videos are always fun to watch!
the best way of cooking rice is u put oil onion and garlic let it brown up a bit, then u put the rice let it sit with the garlic and onion then hot water and let it boil till the water is pretty much goin then put the lid and turn down the heat let it cook alone, and dont forget to put salt while the water is on, it taste amazing, (brazilian way )
That sounds good.
Karolina Angelo Mexican way too add garlic. Garlic goes in every meal almost always it's understood even if not in recipe
Karolina Angelo hahaha Portuguese way to I was reading your comment and I thought this women is portuguese hahah afterwall is brazilian ;) we of course use pure olive oil mmmmmm Hugs from Portugal😍😍
I add blended tomato, garlic and onions. Then some seasonings, add some water. Brown the rice with some oil, then add the blended mix. Bring to a boil,and cover turn heat down.
Try throwing in a bay leaf per lb of beans. It helps with digestion and it gives it a good smell and taste =)
I add a bit of oregano.

Also, you look great!
My mom grew up on rice and beans lol my siblings LOVE rice and beans. Then we add cheese on top sometimes
Oh my goodness! This looks soooo yummy!!! I'm glad your back! I've missed your videos! The house is so cute!
Thank you for posting this! I was watching and said to myself, "Wait!

I love your videos because it's the way a lot of us are doing it! When you say in a "perfect world" I of course know what you mean but in my perfect world you enjoy your kids and life and try to still get a good meal for your family on the table. So, I appreciate your honest videos! The ones that make everything look "perfect" aren't relateable for some people. Thank you for these and seeing you with the little ones reminds me of how I was with mine. Goes by too fast! Enjoying that is perfect!
Beans, rice , corn bread and fried taters with sweet tea. ☺ all well recognized as staples here in alabama
Add some lettuce N onions bacon and hot bacon grease poured over drizzle vinegar.. love it with beans and saurkraut and hotdogs fried in a lil bacon grease.. not maybe everyone's cup of tea but in ky.. we love it.
I had no idea you could make cornbread in the bread machine. Boom! That was my mind being blown. I just love chickens. Your little fenced in area and the little house you have for them is very cool. Your ladies look really happy
At 62 years old you are teaching me so much about cooking!! Thank you so much
LOVE EVERY ONE OF YOUR MEAL VIDEOS. SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK😄😄
There is several things I lie about you and your channel is that you cook real food with make the cheaper than people even realized which are large when you have a large family and stuff and you know I really do appreciate that
Love bean soup! Our family always added a bay leaf. Enjoying your videos
You are such an inspiration. I cook my beans with bacon in a crock pot and cornbread in a skillet in the oven. Love onions with it as well. I may make this tonight. God bless you and your family!
just wanna say that I really love your vlogs or anything you post on TH-cam. it's very real!! keep it this way. too many youtubers just lost it when they get approached by big companies.
lol The bread machine is one of those things that people buy and RARELY use! Everyone wants one but not many use them lol So when you find one at the thrift store there's a decent chance it's only been used a couple of times if not less! lol
I miss this kitchen and the forest home, so many good meals and watching the children grow.
This was a great video..I think my family will love it...everything...beans,rice and especially cornbread.I can't wait to make this supper for the gang.Thanks Jamerrill.
Rice, beans and cornbread is one of the healthiest meals you can feed any family! Olympic winner runners live on the stuff! Good for you. Love this.
Ive always wanted to get a bread maker but wasnt sure how they worked,you just sold me on one,that cornbread looked delicous!
I've just started watching your videos and I have to say you have a great personality! You seem like a fab mama and an all around lovely lady. I don't have a big family (just me, hubby and baby) but I'm learning so much from your channel, so thank you! 😀
I don't soak my beans either. I just wash them and go through them well and make sure no rocks, dirt or bad beans get in my cooking pot. Usually, when we are eating beans and rice for a complete meal, it's usually on my wash day"Monday" and its always my family recipe of Cajun red beans and rice! Your idea for cornbread is great!! I gotta try that sometimes, maybe this weekend??? Great channel!!
People are foolish. You cook as you see fit. I have watched enough your videos to know that your family eats nutritiously. A block of processed cheese? So the heck what. Bullion? big deal, lots of people use it ... and for the size of the pot, the amount you put into is sufficient and not excessive.
Seriously, the arm-char chefs need to stop.
You budget well and feed your family properly.
Globie it’s not about being an arm chair chef...processed cheese is trash and really not good for you. And bullions are verrrrry heavy in sodium. It’s okay to comment about that.
@@michelea2326 Really? Would you make that comment if you were invited into their home for dinner? Or would you eat what was put before you and say thank you! If you don't like what she is cooking, go to another channel. There is no reason at all to be critical unless the host of the channel asks for advice!
Michele A They don’t eat that everyday and even if they do, what does it have to do with you? In this 21st century, I’m sure most people in developed countries know about nutrition and from this point on, its all about choice. You’re just jealous you can’t afford all that food
@@milktoast8071 um
Yummy. I've been baking our brown rice [the method Alton Brown shared] with beef broth instead of water. My husband loves it. Whatever works for your house right.
I love viewing your videos! I like to see that other moms sometimes need to take an easy day too.
As a kid we loved adding a good squirt of ketchup to our bowl of beans. 😋
Since I got my instant pot, I’ve discovered “ham stock”. I stick a couple of ham hocks in the IP, fill it with water, pressure cook for a couple of hours, then pick all the meat and freeze it with the stock for future pots of beans.
Also, a bay leaf is a great addition while cooking the beans. =)
I just love your videos! I have 2 very young girls and it feels like I have no idea what I am doing half the time. watching your tips and advice really does encourage me!! I feel like I am having a chat with a good friend!
Just subscribed to your channel because you have me so inspired!! You are such a sweet mama and a joy to watch!
Thank you for your honesty! Keep up with what you're doing. You inspire and encourage me to be a better mom. Mom of five here and fostering one too. :) I would love to see the upstairs where the kiddos sleep to see how your room arrangements are set up. We have kids sharing rooms and would love some new ideas. You are a great blessing to me and I just feel peaceful watching you.
I have to tell you I love this recipe. We have had this many times over the past month or two and it is a hit. I have learned to soak the beans ahead of time and then cook on low in the crock pot; it just seems to turn out the best for me that way. It was dinner again tonight. Thanks again!!!!!!!! -- Lisa
Love this channel! I'm a homeschool momma with 2 little ones I teach, and a baby. I find your vlogs very helpful and positive! Hope you never let the negative comments change the way you vlog because I love it how it is :) Oh, and Banana bread also freezes well too!
I love all your videos...I'm a new mommy... and have learned from you...admire your dedication to your kids and home!
don't apologize for being you. you don't owe anybody any explanations. with that said thank you for all these baking and cooking videos
You are so kind and such a great teacher. Thank you for all your wonderful videos!
Thank you for this! I made this tonight - so yummy and easy! I would love to see the banana bread in the bread machine. Yummy! Speaking of cornbread, something I have done is make a tamale pie by putting chili in my crockpot and then pouring the cornbread batter (mixed) directly on top to bake as a crust. I love your recipes and ditl's.
I love your videos! I'm not a mum or anything, just a 21 year old culinary student/worker. Just a tip if you pre wash your rice you can add just under the double amount of liquid because it absorbs some of it. Another tip is you could make a rice pilaf instead of cooking it ahead. It takes about 45 minutes and it would be ready just before your beans are done :) can't wait for another cooking video x
I grew up on LOTS of rice and beans but they were seasoned a little differently I grew up in Puerto Rico but I LOVE THEM!! GREAT VIDEO love your back yard.
Thanks for sharing! We always have to have pickled beets with our beans...so tasty!
Banana bread is so good. You reminded me I need to make some sometime soon. I'm glad you said the saying, "You do you." It's so true! Thank you for sharing.
Love your spacious kitchen! I'm Tex-Mex, so we do pinto beans as well with slightly different variations. Usually I use the crock pot, didn't know there was a quick method, good to know. Love home made bread & didn't know corn bread could be done in bread machine. Can't wait to try. Thanks for sharing this.
yum! I add smoked turkey legs. (boiled them separately for 2 hours, then take all the meat off the bones). it takes time but love the steward add the meat back in. I also add 4-6 carrots and 3-4 whole garlic cloves. I boil the beans with 2-3 bay leaves. Your food looked delicious! The corn bread...mmmm.... I can almost smell it... I believe I'll be making your menu soon!
watching makes me relax because it reminds me of childhood
Now I want beams & rice! haha
what a great idea to make a big pot for the entire weekend. thank you for share your tips! I love our 2 bread machines. I've never made cornbread in them. I'll be doing that soon for sure now. we add honey instead of sugar & my children love it.
thank you for taking the time & making the video. God is so very food to us all!
Hugs from California!
food? I mean good. LOL
I was so excited to see a video from you Jamerrill! I know you've been super busy but I have really missed you. Your dinner looks yummy. We have pintos and cornbread here too...and we also use onions. But when I first started dating my hubby (over 32 years ago, how can that be since I'm still 30?!), his family added a dollop of Duke's mayo on the side of the bowl...and then stirred it in. I thought they were plumb crazy but I finally tried it...LOVED IT! Now all of our grown children do that too. The craziness continues!
My hubby family does that too!
hi Jamerrill, i love pinto beans too. i use a couple of ham hocks and boil them for about an hour to break them down. toss in the beans and onion. i love your videos and you as well. i am also a Christian. you ard so sweet and i love your kids too. God bless you, your a great Mom!
A smoked turkey leg will give those beans just what they need and replace that beef flavoring. You are superwoman.
Love watching your videos, even though we had COMPLETELY different lifestyles. But that’s the best part of TH-cam, isn’t it? Getting to learn about folks that do things differently! :)
I don’t have a big brood to feed, but cooking for others is something I’ve always enjoyed. Sometimes when I watch your videos, I think to myself, ‘man, I would LOVE to go cook for her family for a week!’ Lol!
I’ve never commented before, but the beans made me think about my own parents. My mom passed away a few weeks ago. Due to her illness over the past few years, I have been preparing food - ‘homemade TV dinners - for my dad, who is 80 and hasn’t cooked anything except a crockpot full of beans since he was in the army 60 years ago.
Both of my parents were country folks who raised us on a farm in a rural town. We ate a lot of pots of beans growing up, because we all liked them. But my mom used to talk about growing up ‘poor as a church mouse’ and eating beans and taters ate many, many meals. She talked about adding seasoning meat because they couldn’t afford a big piece of ham. Also, my sister and I carry on her tradition of adding sweet pickle juice to our beans. It doesn’t taste right to me with out the pickle juice! I asked mom where that came from, she said when she was growing up, they ate so much beans and taters, they would put anything in them to make them taste just a little bit different. And since they canned pickles - mostly sweet pickles - from their garden every year, they often added the pickle juice to ‘liven up’ the beans.
Even when she could afford to add a a ham bone or even ham chunks, we still always added the pickle juice to our beans (still do!) and served them with fried potatoes, instead of rice, and sweetened cornbread!
This video brought back a lot of good memories for me! :)
I've had a bread machine for years that I never used! Your videos have given me the confidence to use mine. Thanks!
I grew up eating beans and corn bread as well. my grandma always put bacon in the beans if we didn't have left over ham and we layered it with the cornbread on the bottom with the beans on top sooo good!
I never really realised why beans are so popular in large families or in low budget meals untill I checked the nutritional value, and oh my god! So much protein and fibers!
I just discovered your channel, and I am not a mom but I normally cook for my family, so it's nice to see some easy recipes.
Gosh I'm so excited for you and the new house/land! .. My kids are liking beans and rice too, oh they always ask for cornbread with chili! ... The shirt brightens you up!
Great video! So happy for your family to have such a spacious kitchen!
I'm watching your videos and this one popped up as next and I'm literally about to make cornbread!! Magick
It's three some years after you posted this and I still enjoy it! I am putting this into our meal rotation when it cools off. Knowing Kansas it will be sometime in December, lol.
Your videos are very inspiring thank you so much, your family be blessed always 😊😊😊😀.
Yes! We love pinto beans and cornbread here in GA! And of course you've got to have that onion. lol
Looks so easy and hearty. I make a similar bean, but its more of a soup. I use northern beans and add ham, tomato, onion, pepper. I cook is slow and at the end take a little of the beans and mash them up to make it creamy. I will have to make corn bread. Love your new home.
Nice to see you again. That dinner is always so yummy.
Love to watch you !! You asked us to share. I love to make Great Northern Beans--made similar to pinto beans.We like ham in ours. Then I add onions, carrots and toward the end- diced potatoes. The leftovers can have some chopped chicken and some chili spices and some additional broth--you have white bean chili. I am lazy--I use Jiffy cornbread mix--but add oil, egg, a bit of sugar and a small can of diced green chilies.
HI Jamerrill! I just love your videos, I am so happy to see you in your new home! How wonderful! Keep up the videos, you are such an encouragement to all.
You and your home are just so lovely and warm. Have you ever thought of doing something like a Titus 2 series? You have so much wisdom to share with new mamas. 😊💗
Thank you so much for sharing all that you do! I just happened to stumble across your channel the other day. I'm a fellow homeschool mom and so your title just caught my eye! :) I LOVE what I am watching. I have a smaller family of 5, but that still keeps me busy too girl! lol Great channel!
A Dave Ramsey approved meal for sure.
Who is Dave Ramsey
Hello! Thanks for a great video, I can't wait to try the cornbread, I love using our bread machine too, love the sound & oh the smell, yum! Your house is beautiful, so happy for you, hugs!
hi from AK, I grew up in CA on a farm beans and cornbread buttermilk onion and greens We always had either salt pork, hog jowl, bacon or ham in our beans Topped them with mustard, or chow chow relish , hot peppers and onion on the side, fried tators instead of rice with turnip greens and corn on the cobb. Still cook them today, Love your website!
I'm from New Orleans so beans and rice on Mondays is a tradition. Your recipe looks tasty. We always add lots of celery,onion and bell pepper at the start, it really adds to the flavor. And of course andouille sausage. TFS
Enjoyed your meal prep. Never thought about cornbread in the bread machine before.
Yum! Thanks for sharing. I need to get my bread machine out and experiment. I love that you guys have so much more room at your new house.
Crumble the cornbread on top of the beans and rice then top it with green onions then squirt mustard on top. Mmmmmmmmmm, that's how my mom made it for us 40 years ago. Sounds weird but it's delish.
Love this! My mom used to make beans and rice growing up but it's a meal I have forgotten about - will definitely be making some again, nostalgic!
Hi great video. I just wanted to say I never thought to put beef bouillon in the beans. I will definitely try that. we use salt pork or the bone of the ham we had from Christmas taken out from the freezer that we cook with. I was also taught to take the "gas" out of the beans right before you take them off the stove get a small pan put a teaspoon of oil and a tablespoon of flour and fry up the flour per say and then add that to the beans. That is just a New Mexico tradition that has been handed down for years. However your whole meal plan was fabulous, nutritous, and inexpensive. You made me want to go hunting for a bread maker!!
I cook beans often. I live in KY and am just a country cook at heart. We love Pinto or brown beans as we call them but my favorite bean is Navy bean soup. I cook navy beans with chopped carrot, celery, onion, and a can of tomato sauce. I season with Salt and Dried Red Pepper flakes and either a ham hock or a few slices of bacon. When the beans are almost done I dice a couple of potatoes and cook just until the potato is done. It makes a delicious bowl of soup served with the cornbread. I often get asked by several friends if I will make them some. We were only fortunate to have one daughter who is 25 and out on her own but I came from a family of 6 so I still cook and either have planned leftovers or I share with family and friends. Awe eat chopped onions in our beans too. And hot sauce. With pinto or brown beans I like to add salsa and grated cheddar cheese for a change of pace sometimes.
I always pick through my pintos before rinsing/soaking/cooking because I have found small rocks in the beans. I do love cooking them in the crockpot after overnight soaking. I add olive oil, carrot, celery, and onion to the beans when I start them in the crockpot and then have fresh chopped onions and sliced pickled banana peppers at the table. Then even my vegan child can eat them. Besides, they are yummy! Love your videos! Thanks for doing all the work to make them and get them online. :)
I'm loving your videos! You have a fantastic personality for this! You just shine right through and I'm learning a lot!!
I have been watching your older vlogs. Pinto beans = revelation. So good!!
I love how you remind everyone that it's okay to not be the "magazine mom" that being the best mom you can he makes you a fantastic mom and wife. So many young women nowadays in my generation either fall very short of the wife and mom role of they try so hard that they lose the joy of our natural born role as women. I love how you keep it simple and put together but remind us all that it isn't easy and some times life makes ya just roll with it!!
We do soup beans, sauerkraut and winners, greens and cornbread. Yum yum.
Somehow, I'm able to watch You Tube with back to back videos! I just choose a video, and make sure I click "On," and the video will continue playing. Sometimes, the videos are grouped into the same topic, usually it's the the same vlogger. I love this new program!
Been watching your videos for some time. You could add ham hocks and some tomato sauce
I fry onion, garlic, tomato and some kind of meat.. chorizo, pork, bacon, even hotdog pieces. After it's sautéed a little fill with water and some cilantro let it cook and it's so good.
Also for simple dinner just cook beans with some whole garlic, half onion and some olive oil and serve with chopped onion, fresh chopped tomatoes, and green chili, fresh cheese.
Wow thanks for the idea of cooking cornbread in the bread machine..I usually only cook banana bread or zucchini bread..I’ve had for a year or two and I am going to try it! I cook beans all the time too simple but yummy! Thank you..
Love it! DR says beans and rice and rice and beans! thanks for sharing!!!
You just gave me a new dinner idea :)
This looks so simple, filling, and comforting! Thank you
New subscriber here, really enjoying your videos. I will say, we are a big beans and corn bread family as well. I often find small stones in the beans so sorting them beforehand is a good idea. Love the idea of making the corn bread in the bread make, a time saver for sure!
