I'm in shitty Phila and this looks beautiful ......
They don’t look poor in wealth
What a great video. Everything is such pure Appalachian from the cooking, the music, feeding the chickens, and love the rushing water. You are such an ambassador for showing the REAL Appalachia. You are knocking down that carboard figure of how some try to portray us, and that light is really shining through to the real Appalachia many of us know nd love.
Thank you-that means the world to me coming from you!!! I appreciate you!
Well said! I couldn’t agree more. 💖
I love that you guys sing about Jesus, God bless you all. We need more of that in America.
Beautiful singing! Waiting for His return! Amen🙏❤
I don’t know much about how it is to live in Appalachia, I’m born and bread in Sweden. I’v seen some videos and it seems like it’s a hard, tuff life and for many people a poor life too witch is so sad. I have to say though that in many ways it seems to be a much richer life then a lot of people in better of communities have. Personally I wouldn’t mind living there, I think it’s beautiful.
It is definitely beautiful here. The folks that I call homegrown are beautiful as well.
I grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of PA. Loved the girls singing! Beautiful tones. Lived the snow and Christmas tree! God bless!
I live in the blue ridge mountains .I really enjoy your videos . watching you reminds me of my grandma cooking .she could always take very little and make so much goodness .
My mom could take a leftover hamburger patty, a potato, onion and some tomatoes she had canned and make the most delicious soup you ever tasted....enough to feed 3-4 people with a pan of cornbread
That peeling of the whole apple skin and throwing it over your left shoulder was what my grandma taught me.
Her scones were the best. MA and PA Kettle on the radio and a good pot of tea.
what kind of tea did they drink,, just curious
What a beautiful video, I'm in Knoxville and grew up in this lifestyle, all I can say is I long to be back in that lifestyle. So hard, but so rewarding and peaceful! Thanks for sharing, God bless
Glad you enjoyed it
That's a beautiful video and so real! I love the sound of the creek and of the bacon frying. The snow is beautiful. The whole video with a minimum of words tells the whole story ! Thanks Tipper!
Thank you 😀
Your videos take me back to time at my Mamaw Brogan’s house. I remember having to get water from the well and using the outhouse. Her root cellar was awesome except for the spiders! Your videos always remind me of wonder memories. Thank you for sharing your life and family with us.
Oh, and I love chocolate gravy, too!
Vicky Moore where are you from? I’m a brogan and married a Moore 🙂
I am hooked can’t watch tv anymore
LOL-thank you!
Me too! I’ve learned so much from these videos!
@@aperry101616 Me Too !🙂
Yes you are right no good news on the TV ! I just play on my I/pad watch u tube !
I don't watch TV either, just RUclips.😄
Silent tears roll down my face when I watch these. A life of love and family, a life my soul has and continues to yearn for.
I hope you find it!!
@@CelebratingAppalachia thank you x
This is my first time watching your channel. I love it. We live in Southeast Tennessee down in the corner right on the Georgia State line; as far South and as far East as you can go in Tennessee. The foot hills of the Appalachian Mountains. The next road over from us has a view of the mountains of the Blue Ridge and the Smokey Mountains. We have a small 5 acre homestead. Right now we have 76 chickens. We have 16 Buff Orphingtons, 6 Rhode Island Reds, and 5 miscellaneous breeds of hens. Then we have 7 roosters that all need to be in a lot but they're not. On top of this we have 18 baby chicks in the brooder. Hoping to have goats on day soon but we need to prepare for them. Love your channel.
Sounds like your from up around Copperhill area. My grandfather and brother are buried up at pleasant hill over by the airport.
I have felt like I'm the only one that washes and reuses ziploc bags. My Mamaw did it and I regarded her as the smartest woman. Love this channel more and more.
I do too!!!!
I still do it (wash and reuse ziploc bags). It saves a tonload of money.
I do it. And foil too. Gotta make a good life for your family.
We do it, much to my sisters chagrin. She got above her raising.
We use a lot of them and I honestly don't know what they cost we buy so few of them.
We live in one of the nations poorest counties, yet I dont know any poor people.
I know people with poor ways.
@@gregoryhughes7032 that is a perfect example. Poor ways. You are absolutely correct.
Great job!!! You all make me feel like I'm living with an extended family.
There is something very special about country living. I long for it. May God bless you all as you continue to honor him. This is what this Nation needs.
Loved the video!! I live in the mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Apples, biscuits/gravy, and over easy eggs are such a great country breakfast. One of my son's favorites.
Mama was from Pike County or as some ppl call it Pikeville. Agree about the breakfast. Nothing like that type cooking. Love my cornbread in that cast iron.
@@KENTUCKY-MAMA , yep, Pike County is where I'm from, too!
@@jwtsatty My family roots been there for centuries. Many there have same bloodline as I running thru their veins. Which includes Cherokee.
I’m typing on my iPhone and watching on my flatscreen and I am loving this video everything you cooked from the fried cabbage the white beans and cornbread the bacon eggs and fried apples dying clothes oh my word it reminds me of my mom she cooked just like that for all of us she dyed her clothes w/ a little vinegar to set them, gardening etc it’s very comforting watching.
The singing is the at the end is a blessing I love listening in you all are like a version of the Carter’s I love country music and love listening to all country music from old school Dolly to Trace Adkins - The Carter’s especially June and her mama Maybelle thanks for posting this awesome video. ❤️🙏🏾🙋🏽♀️
Thank you!! I hope you have a great week 😀
Loved this video, the food, the music, the snow covered woods & the beautiful chickens. thank you for 23 minutes of bliss!!!
I love when the snows on the trees like that it’s very beautiful .
One of my older sisters use to cook corn meal gravy after she was married with a family of her own. My mom always cooked flour gravy. All this southern cooking makes me Hungary, lol. Your family is so blessed to have your family playing music and different instruments. My older brother and I played guitars and he could play about anything he put his hands on. Sadly he passed away a few years ago. I do miss him. Awesome video thanks for sharing. Stay well and safe in these bad times.
It is just so interesting to see these peeks into your lives! I so look forward to them. Thank you for all you do!
Aww-thank you!!
I'm just finding y'all and so glad I did ! Lovely family ❤
Thank you for opening up your home, I just found your channel and look forward to many more videos! My Father was born in Glomawr, KY and was raised in Hazard, KY, my Aunt was Hettie Gabbard who lived in Hazard, KY, I felt like I was visiting my relatives watching your video.
I'm so glad I reminded you of your family 😀
Thanks for showing the REAL Appalachian living we are blessed with. Keep these videos coming!
I’ve watched most of your videos sitting here on a cold rainy day and you all are an inspiration. May God bless your family.
Wow, thank you 😀
Born and raised in Wv we did the apple peal to now living in sc these videos make me so home sick for snow mountains and like minded people Love your videos
The last song the girls & Paul played was one my Daddy played on his guitar all the time. What a shot of memories!
Oh boy that biscuits and gravey looks delicious.
My dad can whip up some verty yummy sausage,chicken or bacon flavored gravey. His little momma Bonnie (Yates) Denton taught him how to cook. She cooked for grandpa and their 6 boys. They never had any daughters.
So happy I came across your videos. I'm from the Ozarks and this reminds me so much of growing up with my grandparents in rural Arkansas. This made me feel just a little bit closer to them again, so thank you for that ❤️
😀 I'm so glad!
@@CelebratingAppalachia Do you have a cookbook out ? My family is from Georgia and cook like you. I would love to know all the recipe's your cooking. I could watch the way your family lives all day and night wishing my family could live like yours. God bless.
What a wonderland. Love that y’all LOVE JESUS. No wonder Tipper, you love the snow ❄️ GOD has rewarded y’all for given him the glory. Blessing’s come flowing down.lots of snow wishes for y’all. Brooks Oregon
That tan speckled bowl you mix stuff in, I can't believe it. My mother had an IDENTIAL one and I got it when she went to heaven. It was the same shape, size and color. I almost cried when I saw it because it remined me so much of her. I used it so much that one day the thing just split in half when it had batter in it.
Mine did too! Memories...
Your family is so fortunate!!! Stay close,,,
Those chickens are so pretty. I've always wanted chickens; in fact, we're looking for some land, hopefully, about 10 acres and I'm getting a few. I love fresh eggs. We're getting fresh eggs from a friend of ours right now; I love the ones with the dark orange yolks.
Love my wood burning stove ,live in cold WVa . Burn 24/7 in winter !
I have really enjoyed your videos. Thank you for sharing. My family is from the south and it makes me proud to see what you are doing. Don’t gaum up the kitchen! :)
Keep up the great work and God Bless! :)
Thank you!! I know a lot about gomming or gauming up the kitchen LOL! 😀 Hope you have a great week!!
I remember my great-grandparents house.. no electricity or running water. Wood burning stove and oil lamps. Spring house in the front. Old tin roof that sounded sooooo good in the rain. Lived off the land and lived to be nearly 100 years old. They died in the 1980’s and all around them was modern but they wasn’t going to change. Such a simple life they had.
I've been considering moving to West Virginia from Florida and I am originally from Ohio. I am falling in Love with everything Appalachian!Really Nice people and way of life. GOD BLESS! 🌼✌️🙌❤️🇺🇲❤️🙏🌏🌍🌎💚🕊️
i couldnt stop watching . great camera work.
It's July 23. 2022 and I live in South Florida. It's beyond hot.
I'm so enjoying watching your winter time videos with m6 air conditioner turned down low and pretending you can't fry eggs on the side walk here. 😀 I love your channel.
😀 Glad you enjoy them
I love your videos! Keep them coming! God bless you and your family!💕
Love love love everything about this rich video. Beautiful music, wonderful voices, delicious food, full life. ❤️
Watching your life and reflecting on my own ,it’s the simple journey of just living life with the simple ways that we collect in our family values and traditions ,that makes my heart warm and makes me smile ,to live in gratitude of the gifts we have ,Love to you all ,from Rye ,Australia and thanks again 🙋🏻♀️
I enjoy these videos brangs a lot of memories back. I’d stay all night with my granny and uncle he lived there to help her and we’d get up and there would be a big snow on me and him would go check traps before he went to milk the cow
This is a breakfast my husband would eat every morning.
I remember Granny's Apple fritters, because she had so many people comn thru the house she deep fried everything in a large pot and put in bowls on the table so we could snack during the day
Watching this has brought back to me how it was growing up and my momma would do all of this kind of cooking for us! So glad at age 61 it stuck on me!
Beautiful song
You know, I get that the mountain life isn't always easy or as idyllic as it looks in this video but I don't think family ties grow any stronger anywhere. Y'all are so very very blessed.
That’s some yummy cooking right there but it’s a first for me the cornmeal gravy .... loved watching the snow , and the sound of that rushing water. ...Enjoyed watching all ❣️☃️ 🎶Walking in the winter wonderland 🎶 all kinds of questions as I was watching haha ..what was in those pots? What did the wood branches he hacked of with the hatchet smell like ... if I had been walking in that snowy scene I’d have licked me some snow right off a branch or two 🙂❣️
Susie-thank you for watching! I was so thirsty I did eat some of the snow 😀 The wood was rich pine-it smelled so good!!
I guess I learned to cook watching my mom in the kitchen. Like watching these videos. Over the year my girlfriends have liked my food and asked how I knew to do that. Currently my GF mostly does the cooking but loves what I cook and encourages me. I enjoy it!
My goodness
Let’s eat 🙏🏻
I so miss us getting snow in Chattanooga! Growing up (I’m 49) we got at least one or two really good snows every winter, but not anymore. The blizzard of ‘93 seems like the last we’re gonna get.
Just love your channel. Thanks
I love this video. Thank you
Good evening from Hong Kong. My wife and I lived in Minnesota before moving to Hong Kong for my job. I loved when the seed catalogues came in the dead of winter. What companies do you use. I tried to figure out the one you were using at 7:18 but could see the title. I really appreciate seeing the simpler things of life especially now that we live in a city of 8 million. May the Lord bless you richly!
Joel-Thank you!! I love Sow True Seed and I like Baker Creek Seeds too 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia thank you so much for the names of your seed catalogs. I will have my daughter in the states order one up. We shop in the local markets and can get almost any kind of produce and fruit you can imagine. This time of year one of the sought after veggies is pea vine. It is so tender and flavourful. A little pricey but oh so worth it!
Tipper, where Im from, the old tale was twist the stem and however many turns it took to break it off was how many kids you were going to have. Interesting at how many tales come from a little ole Apple. Thank you for sharing. I love the cooking. My sweet Momma, LOL before I got married said Im going to teach you how to cook. She showed me scrambled eggs. That's all!! I asked her years later why she never showed me anything else, she said she didnt want a mess in her kitchen.LOL Thousand wonders my Hubby and I dont cluck at each other instead of talking..lol First attempts at Gravy.. Lord have mercy.. He TRIED to eat it. Salt, pepper, SUGAR..LOL first homemade biscuit's.. Well, we enjoyed target throwing with them. Sounded like a big rock hitting the trees. There was NO WAY to even think about biting into those things. Thank the Lord for canned biscuits, otherwise, we would never eat them.
Have you ever heard of "soaky" .. IF Im remembering right its coffee poured over biscuits?? I THINK. My Daddy used to love soaky or soakie.. ( soak- e)
Thank you for sharing!!!
😀 Love those memories! I have heard of soakey 😀
Just found your channel today. Wonderful content. More of what this country of ours really needs. Haven't looked yet , but I hope there r some videos with recipies to the foods you r making. Some fe looking edibles.😋
Thanks and welcome 🙂
My aunt Phyllis, from Roanoke, Va. stirred her gravy with the same wooden spoon so many years it became flat on one side!
🙂
Thank you for sharing💐😊
that song they play at 15:00 I grew up playing with my dad just the same!
Hi Ma'am, Tom Scotland, I have watched a few of your cooking videos, And I am putting on weight just watching! keep them coming.
🙂
These cooking videos make me so hungry!
Good grief, they can SING too?! What DON'T you Appalachians do?! Love this so much! (I'm making cornbread, beans and fried cabbage for supper!) You guys are traipsing through snow and creeks and hacking off peices of log and smelling it, and I have no idea why.... This is so interesting!
I was wondering the same thing about the wood
He is cutting pieces off a dead pine tree and smelling for the pitch. Pine trees have pine pitch in them from which turpentine is made. After a tree is dead for a few years, the pitch becomes concentrated, is very easy to light and is called 'Pitch Rich', or 'Fatwood'. It easily starts fires in fireplaces but it gives off black, thick smoke and smells like diesel fuel. It is available in some grocery & hardware stores. It is highly prized by campers & survivalists.
My granny use to say..How ever many times you turn the stem, is how many babies you'll have 😂
7:46... I always get my seeds from Baker Creek heirloom seeds.
I like to put it all on the biscuits. Put down the gravy, the eggs, the sausage crumbles, and then some shredded cheddar cheese. OMG, so damned good!!!
Raised in the Allegheny Mtns in Va … brings back many memories.. absolutely great videos.. keep up the good work .. this one made me subscribe..
Onward and Upward is the watchword.
Glad you enjoyed it thank you!
I have never seen what you made for breakfast before except the bacon and biscuit. Always fun to see what others eat.
Them girls could sing the phonebook and make it sound good!
The apple stem worked for me. 😉
This food is making me hungry. Looks so good.
Your videos are just awesome 😃 God bless all of you. True American Christian folk's 😃. The salt of God's green earth 😃
Fresh air and great food 😁 your cooking and baking is so great......Thank you again for your videos. Just amazing 😀😀😀
Great video,very enjoyable 😊👍
Loving this! I say shoot fire and molasses! I have heard many of these.
Love your videos and family hugs patsy
I love your videos. You all are so sweet. Please keep up the great work. It freaked me out to see you pull that cutting knife out of your dish water. I learned by expearence never to put sharp knives in the dish water. Can't see them, good way to cut fingers.
Thanks for the lovely video though I am so late watching it.
I want to know if there are any little shanty’s near by for sale with maybe a 1/4 acre or 1/2 of land. This place is gorgeous & winter is one of my favorite times of year. Especially snows & Streams all around like this. Not to deep on gorges & 2 or 3 falls of 3 or 4 ft dropping on down, & that last heavy snow ❄️. Just Gorgeous! 😊
You just answered my question about sawmill gravy....
2:55... I`ve never had fried apples. I`m gonna have to try them, for sure.
Ohhhhh I know those seed catalogs lol!! I got them.
My kind of cooking. Looks yummy 😋
Loved watching this. I'm hungry after watching you fix all that yummy food.
Curious though, what was the Mr. collecting the wood for? Whittling or fatwood for burning?
Thank you! He was collecting fatwood-we call it rich pine 😀
I always called it fat wood or ligheterd pine. I always keep some o around fer, lighting fires, y'all take care,
Cool
Yes, love fried cabbage.
I like your folklores 😊
Gettin' those pine knots!
You have a beautiful life! I love the Mts. My Grandparents and great Grandparents lived on Signal Mt TN. What area of Appalachians do you live?
Thank you Pamela! We are in Western NC 😀
Here I am thinking you put a meat gravy over your biscuits and it's actually what we in Australia call a white sauce! We call biscuits "scones", they are sweet and we eat them with jam and cream on them.
Do y'all like bacon gravy? 🐷God Speed Love this Video...peaceful!
We do 😀 Thank you!
Is the name Paul? Please forgive me as I forget! Good Man & Father right there! 😊👌 I love a woodstove fire or an open fireplace. Nothing better in the dead a winter. We musta had 3 or 4 of them big ole heavy danged Pot Bellied Stoves but they would sure put out the heat. You just didn’t see the fire except the red hot stove pipes when we Add Coal in the morning after stoking it for the night. During the day burned Coal & Wood but at that time (the 60’s), a truck load a Coal wasn’t to expensive, that & pops working in the mines for several of those years got a discount. Whose turn is it to get Coal in for the night boys! 😂 daddy couldn’t keep up as I was the oldest of the 6 boys. You didn’t wanna wake up & the stove be out or purt near it either. The old house was huge . 2story built in the 1850’s brrrrrrr
No worries Johnny! Paul is my brother, he plays music with us. Matt is my husband-he's the one building the fire 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia Thank you!
Is that baker creek seed catalog? They are my favorite!
Love Baker Creek too 😀
What is the name of this song please..
I love this song. Love your videos so much. Listening from West Virginia.
Thank you 😀 Background music: "To Weather a Storm" - Dan Lebowitz
Song the girls were trying to learn: "Jesus is his Name" by Unknown.
Wait ! I just heard the themes song of That Chapter !
Yummy breakfast.
Is that just cornmeal or cornmeal mix? My grandmother made cornmeal gravy but I don't know what she used.
Years ago I was told about a gravy, and if remembering right it was called jublie? gravy. You use cornmeal instead of flour, however you chop an onion up and cook it with the meal. After you finish making the gravy, you add a can of pork and beans in the gravy. You eat it with fish. Well, I guess you could eat it with anything you wanted, but I was told fish. It is good . To me anyway, but there’s not too much I don’t like. God bless you all.
About how many hens do you keep in that big coop. Them ladies were singing/ talking to you when let them out of their hen 🏠.
They're always making noise 😀 we have 8 hens and one rooster!
