Some of my best memories are of sitting on the counter eating a cheese sandwich watching my mom do things around the kitchen. She'll be 85 on Christmas day and when she can't always remember who I am I have those memories to fall back on. Not gonna lie, I used to walk along the countertops. I was the youngest of 6 so I could kinda do what I wanted.
This was great ! I love being in the kitchen with you, I also love Thanksgiving, it is my favorite and I cooked for my family of 16 this year. It’s all about family and Jesus to me. Christmas is the birth of Jesus it’s - become so commercialized. I’m 62 now and I back the best Christmas cookies. My kids will get big batch of moms cookies /and my girl wants a Costco membership for a year she will continue it on -my son is 40 so I’m paying a few months of car insurance for him. ❤🙋🏻♀️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
My kids all grew up in the counter while i cooked . They often helped . Now my grand babies all are in the counter . They are so use to it , no k e has ever fallen .
I for one enjoy seeing your kiddos on the counter. It’s their home, they want to be involved! ❤ Don’t sweat the small stuff:) I love watching all of your food prep and cooking/baking.
OMG! You put salt and olive oil on your potatoes!!! You just made my day! My friend says I’m weird for this! But then says my potatoes are the best lol. I knew you were special 😊❤️
Gooey Butter Cake is something special. I tried svl different flavor blends but when I added toffee bits to the plain version I thought I went to heaven. Nothing wrong with that version of Thanksgiving dinner. Good thing one of your children asked for a Thanksgiving Birthday Dinner a while back.
Great video Steph! I really enjoy these videos, they give me so many ideas & inspiration. I got to see your kitchen areas I hadn’t seen before, it’s a beautiful & unique layout, I love it. A video suggestion if you ever need one, a pantry/food storage tour, please. Maybe showing your essentials that you always have on hand, especially since you mainly scratch cook. I know you’ve showed a little near the fridge, is that where you store your canning items as well?
Your little man sits so still on your kitchen counters as he watches you in the kitchen , I like how you made your twice baked potatoes , I will be trying that recipe , Thanks for sharing .
I don’t comment much but just wanted to say thank you for your videos and the info you share on Instagram. You make this life seem possible while also living in a semi modern world. You have helped me relax over my homeschool, actually consider a milk cow 😂, and opened my eyes to so much medical stuff. I’m a nurse that is realizing I was taught nothing 😳 so thank you for sharing the info you do!
Please can you do a post about the water filter on your counter top? Would be really interested to know more about this! Thanks so much, love your channel!
I use my dishwasher as a dish drainer now instead of having dishes on my counter due to my smaller kitchen and with it being just 2 now. I never thought I would miss my BIG life compared to it being just us 2 now. But I do 😢Watching your videos brings me comfort from missing my younger days with a busy home life. From one home maker, homeschooling mother to another GOOD JOB 👏 Thank you for sharing.
I absolutely love watching your videos and really look forward to them I don't have any friends who are into the same things as me, so it's really nice to see someone else who reminds me so much of myself. I cook everything from scratch, thrift and I recently had a baby girl and freebirthed. I'm postpartum right now I've never heard of postpartum thyroiditis before and I'll definitely be researching that and learning about it because I was told that I have subclinical hypothyroidism. The twice-baked potatoes look amazing I always used to see those at the restaurants but never knew how to make them, yours look so delicious!
I like the way you show how to cook and work in the kitchen...you get so much done but you are calm and not frazzled. Love that, and your food looks great. Will try pizzas and cake for sure😊
I actually love your video, I will watch you more often, I have a smaller family and I’m much older but I will make your pizza and other recipes, God bless you
5hanks for sharing your yummy holidays food. Everything looks soo soo good. I want to make everything you made 😊❤ Wishing you happy holidays with your family and friends. ❤😊
At this point you probably already have a name for your beautiful cat but just in case I thought of CINZA when I saw her. It is a pretty and fitting name given her color. Cinza means grey in Portuguese.
Katie for the kitty kat? All the food looks soooo good. And you do inspire me to do more cooking, baking and I have made the laundry soap. The laundry soap is awesome and so cheap to make, thank you.
Love this! I would really love a video on how you cure your bacon for us beginners! Sometimes we get meat from wild fork to practice things with so we don’t mess up our harvested meat so we are experimenting right now. 😂
What is the water station called that you have on the counter? IDK what it's called.... I've seen others have this as well. Thanks for all you do & for sharting with us ❤
Yes...I am a fairly new subscriber and have shared your channel much. I LOVE your videos. Quiet, reflective, beautiful and insanely full of good info. I learn something new in almost every video. Keep them coming. ❤
Random question but sometimes I see you cover food with a matte plastic/paper wrap that you cut with scissors? Is it a type of cling film? Or baking paper? So curious. Thank you for sharing all your videos, love your style of cooking, learning a lot about cooking from scratch and planning ahead ❤
Hi Stephanie! May I what prenatal vitamin you take? I know you are the research queen and I’m struggling with finding one where I am confident in the ingredients. Thanks!
Honestly my cats picked their name. Most I three names out until the picked the one they liked lol. But I'm not a fan of "Usual" cat names. I adopted an Elden and he chose Sam because he didn't like Elden and we just adopted a kitten they named spooky and she chose Tilly. Take your time and she will let you know what she likes.
Do you have any from scratch soup recipes? I checked your blog and didn’t find anything other than chili. I truly enjoy your videos and recipes. So glad you share them with us!
Might I ask where you got your dress....the one youre wearing while making the cheesy creamed corn? I would love to get one of those. I am currently just at 6 months pregnant and that looks like a great dress for maternity and everyday wear.
Just bought a stand mixer yesterday just because of you. I want to start making my own butter and bread. Thank you for your great videos just keep doing what you're doing. Take care of all them babies especially the one your belly. Do y'all have a mailing address that I can send you something?
Is there a shipping address for y'all? I want to send you all a little something that you can use in the kitchen it's just a little something but it comes in very handy
You have Hashimotos if you’re getting post partum thyroiditis. I’ve had four babies and I got it each time. Then my thyroid function returns to normal but eventually one day, I’ll develop hypothyroidism because I have positive antibodies. You have positive antibodies, that’s why you have PPT and there’s nothing you can do about that. You can focus on reducing inflammation in your body and that’s about it. Autoimmune diseases are the pits.
Ok got to say it but in a concerning kind way…..you standing on top of that step stool makes me a worried ole lady……you might fall, bang your head or hurt yourself…..please use one with higher steps and a hand grasp….. My daughter in law fell and yes she was pregnant…her chair tipped and and she fell backwards and struck her head knocking herself out with three littles alone running around…..😧be safe I dehydrated turkey scraps and powdered it….makes a great addition to recipes and my grn pups love it on their food.

First, I LOVE your kitchen. Second, I love that your kids are always on the counters spending time in the kitchen with you.

Such a blessing to have a big family! ❤️

Yes they really do love being included!
My kids (18,15,& 10) still pop onto the counter while I’m in the kitchen. I love having them in there with me. Thank you for sharing your days.
Love that! I remember doing the same when I still lived at home ❤️
OMG! You put salt and olive oil on your potatoes!!! You just made my day! My friend says I’m weird for this! But then says my potatoes are the best lol. I knew you were special 😊❤️
It’s the best way!!
In a world full of insanity your channel is a great place to find calm. I hope that you have an amazing holiday season with your family ❤
Thank you!! You too!
Your kitchen just looks warm and inviting
My suggestions for the precious kitty. “Nippy” or “Nola” or“PURZ”.
Gooey Butter Cake is something special. I tried svl different flavor blends but when I added toffee bits to the plain version I thought I went to heaven. Nothing wrong with that version of Thanksgiving dinner. Good thing one of your children asked for a Thanksgiving Birthday Dinner a while back.
Oh that sounds delightful!

I need to do that!
The gooey butter cake reminds me of a dessert we eat here in the Hawaii islands, butter mochi it’s the best!

Also we live in Arkansas and looooove ooey gooey butter cake but I’ve never seen a 100% homemade version! I’m adding that to my list!
Please can you do a post about the water filter on your counter top? Would be really interested to know more about this! Thanks so much, love your channel!

It is such a sweet season isn’t it?!
Tuna would be a cute name for kitty

Wow everything looks absolutely delicious! Your channel is my favorite to watch. I like the name Stella❤
At this point you probably already have a name for your beautiful cat but just in case I thought of CINZA when I saw her. It is a pretty and fitting name given her color. Cinza means grey in Portuguese.
Your new little love the cat is adorable. I notice the extra toes. I wonder if you might like the name Muffin?
I am going to try your pizza dough and bone broth after Christmas when I do another turkey!
Wonderful cooking
I love everything about this! Addicted to your channel lol
Aww thank you! ❤️
Maybe you can get the blessings of the throat on St Blaise feast day in February to pray for no thyroid issues!
Katie for the kitty kat? All the food looks soooo good. And you do inspire me to do more cooking, baking and I have made the laundry soap. The laundry soap is awesome and so cheap to make, thank you.
I also made ur laundry soap…so far so good

Steph, I love your flannel blouse.🖤 I made turkey bone broth, too!👌🏻
Thank you!! Isn’t it crazy how much more gelatin is in turkey than chicken? Amazes me every year!
Silver - for the gorgeous cat name, or tinsel
Love the video! Just making sure that it’s really only 1.5 cups of flour in the pizza dough?
U are blossoming with baby
Gorgeous!

Hi Stephanie! May I what prenatal vitamin you take? I know you are the research queen and I’m struggling with finding one where I am confident in the ingredients. Thanks!
Love watching you and getting ideas of cooking new meals.. kitty looks like a sphinx . I'd name her sphinx .
I would love to know what breed/breeds she is, she’s so sweet and pretty!
@@HopewellHeights she is beautiful.
Honestly my cats picked their name. Most I three names out until the picked the one they liked lol. But I'm not a fan of "Usual" cat names.

I love your channel! Your baby bump is so sweet. Where did you get your green dress???❤

I was so excited to try the deep dish pizza recipe but I think for me it wasn’t very clear on what was tablespoon so it didn’t turn out.
Rated R pizza 🍕😂🤣 that cracked me up

My daughter in law fell and yes she was pregnant…her chair tipped and and she fell backwards and struck her head knocking herself out with three littles alone running around…..😧be safe
I dehydrated turkey scraps and powdered it….makes a great addition to recipes and my grn pups love it on their food.
