      Yes the roaster is used exactly a crockpot. Leave it running overnight is fine. Have done it many times. Just have it placed where little hands won’t/can’t pull it on them. As you well know little hands like to explore. Love you & kiddos. 😊. I missed you soooo much!!!!! Thank you for coming back!!!!!

      Bri, I am enjoying your family so much! Mine are grown and my grands are almost grown. It is a joy for me to see. I love when you say we’ll just pivot into a slightly different direction. I love the way all the kids want to help out. You are wonderful.

    Grace, you did a great job for your debut cooking show! Love how you are showing the "real " life of big batch cooking with the help and the "help" of your large family. I admire your positive I-can-handle-this attitude.

    Bri, you are doing a great job raising your wonderful children, teaching how to manage life and pivot when necessary. I love that you encourage the children to do things at a very young age. I'm 75 yrs old, and our generation and older were expected to cook, clean, garden, etc as early as possible. I know there are times being without your partner can be difficult, even overwhelming, but you are a pure success. I love that you have a community of dear friends who love and support you. Having that support is magnificent and shows how very successful you are. Ignore any negativity coming your way. There are 4 times as many people out there cheering you on than the very few who want to criticize. Thanks so much for helping the young women (and men) learn how to pivot when things take a turn away from the original plan. That's the secret of success. You are about the age of my children and it makes me so happy to be able to be part of your journey. My children and grands live far away, but we connect through technology. Heavenly Father loves you and is right beside you inspiring you as you go. Hugs from a grandma who loves to see the younger generations know how to do things from scratch. ❤

      I'm 67 and I was expected to cook the evening meals from 11 years old till I got a job at 16. My friends did, too. Our brothers could play outside..which I didn't think was fair, so glad to see your boys helping or at least interested in helping...such a delight to see! My 2 boys were expected to help me since I was a single mom with 4 kids!! This past Easter, all 4 of them offered to help and they are in their 30s and 40s. I really didn't have to do much at all!!
      Proud of how your are raising your children!

    • @lolamoms6359
      @lolamoms6359 Год назад +2

      ​@donnamccay1160 I also was left to raise 4 children alone. I made sure my boys could cook as well as the girls. Everyone did laundry and everyone learned basic maintenance of their vehicle. I believe each needed to be able to care for their self and then can reach out to help others. You did a good job.

  • @gerriebell2128
    @gerriebell2128 Год назад +19

    I love your comments about making things from scratch totally, or partially. We are all in different circumstances or places in our lives. When my children were little I made everything myself that I knew how to make. We had an apricot tree and every year I made jam and canned apricots. And cooked from our back yard garden. Now it’s just my husband and me. No tree or garden. Our needs are different and our energy level is different. You do what you can and “choose your battles”. What you said about letting things steal your joy is exactly right. To criticize someone or even to feel guilty about what you can’t do, is to make them or yourself think they have no blessings, which is a terrible lie. Joy comes from counting your blessings and doing your best with what you have. It’s amazing you and the kids all work together to feed the family, and they will have wonderful memories of that. As well as knowing how to do it. God bless you!

    I am currently cooking beef bone broth in my Nesco roaster. I have it on 250°. Its been cooking since 9:00 this morning. I let it cook like this for 36-48 hours, and I let it continue cooking through the night. It smells amazing in my kitchen right now! 😊

    I've been watching you for quite awhile and I saw you with your cows and chickens and large gardens in the past. Circumstances put you where you are right now and look at you, you're going strong with your new home, garden, make from scratch meals and you have great ideas for your new home. So, pat yourself on the back! I'm very proud of you. Keep strong! Keep going! Stay safe! Stay healthy!

  • @HomeCraftNThings2

    You and the kids are doing a great job. We on youtube are merely trying to inspire others to do different things. Some of the viewers, however, think that we are superwomen and need to do everything from "scratch"!. No, if from scratch is out of your reach then so be it. Don't give yourself more stress neither don't apologise for the way you are trying to make your life more simple.

  • @julieoneil1279

    Back already. :) I just noticed your set up for making stock in your roasting pan. The pan needs to be pushed further in to the surface of the island so that cord is not hanging over the side of the island. With two babies coming into the kitchen today, that scared me to death! You're such a good mom, Brie. I had 2 babies, you have 7 kids! Don't know how you do it. SECONDLY, THANK YOU for the parchment paper tip! That's a winner!!

      I love watching all of your freezer meal/bulk prep days!! I'm cooking for just the 2 of us mostly but i doubled a recipe and froze it because of these videos! So thank you!! As a restaurant chef, a quick tip for cooling down the pasta: ice and cold water. Helps cool them down and stop the cooking process. You could skip the step of all the towel/counter space. Another pot would be a good vessel or if you purchase another large colander, you can do it right in the sink.

    Hi Bri,
    Oh my word girl, you done such a awesome job with all that delicious looking food!
    You remind me of my little mom that raised all 8 of us alone. She had to work on the
    Outside of the home though to support us. On her 3 days off she meal prepped
    also, cook herself silly. Never really got caught up on rest until most of us were grown.
    And she store bought. No farm! There’s not a thing wrong with not making everything from
    Scratch from a store! Sister you rock!! I’m so proud of you and your 7 babies are so precious!
    As mom used to say,,,,God was her best friend and she couldn’t have raised us without him!
    May God Bless you and yours ❤

    I use my roaster for broth all the time, I love it, one tip, I was on pins and needles watching the twins toddle past the cord on the roaster. I was worried one of them might grab it and pull it off the island onto them.
    I put my roaster on the counter so I can keep the cord behind it and no one can accidentally get caught on it, I don't have any toddlers but I do have a clumsy husband😂😂 (I'm 72)

    Yes, I put my roaster on low and cook my bone broth overnight. I also put my pig lard in my roaster and let that render overnight also. It makes lard making easier to me.

    I love your advice to be ok with where you are . Sometimes I feel bad about not making everything homemade. I feel like I can feel good about just cooking now, thanks for helping me .

    Well done mama! Use what you got. Those babies are learning so much just by being present. Thank you for letting your children participate and watch the making process. That is how children learn. People nowadays do not do that hands on teaching.. thank you! Your children will be able to feed and support themselves. Well done!

    The parchment on top before freezing was a great idea! I always lose sauce and cheese to the foil. Great team effort! Careful with cords on your island (like your roaster), I got a wooden spoon caught in mine once as I was walking by, almost lost my whole batch of soup! I guess island designers don't have toddlers or busy kitchens when thinking of outlet placement! 😏😃😳

    I loved seeing Joyful and Grace stepping up to help and how much they have been educated on cooking! You would be surprised at young people lots older than them not knowing how to do anything! I actually asked a young lady yesterday in her thirties if she knew how to cut up a whole chicken, and she said no ! Keep teaching! You are a great mother!

    Bri I love this video so much….first because I loved seeing the kids learn and help because that will be great for them in the future plus it’s great bonding for you guys. Secondly, I love how honest and transparent you are. I’m single and live in a little ranch house with a huge garden. I love gardening and preserving but it’s not practice for me to have a farm here, p,us it’s illegal 😂. I watch a lot of homesteading videos not to do everything they do, but to take bits and pieces that I want to include in my life❤

    You’re doing a great job of what you have right now so don’t knock yourself you’re doing it. What a mother supposed to do take care of her children and feed her children ,however it’s possible for you to get it done and if it’s store-bought that’s OK well you’re prepping and getting things done and I love that you’re a great mother and don’t let nobody tell you different❤

    Grace did so good. She is a natural in front of the camera. And you are right that you do the best you can where you are. And you are doing fabulous. Your kids will not care that you didn't make the pasta or can the tomatoes or make the cheese. They got to spend more time with you instead. You are doing great.

    Bri, before this video I genuinely thought you had renamed the channel Bri From Scratch because you are now starting over on your own as a single Mama. You have a different life and circumstances now. I can’t imagine any decent person ever judging you for not COOKING everything from scratch. You are a strong, persevering, hardworking Mama!

    • @TheEmbrio

      Yes it’s more about her life back from scratch.
      Yes seeing her home cool meals and care for 7 children, taking perfectly normal ’shortcuts’ like jarred tomato sauce seems already a feat
