Wow, it’s so neat to see another mom who does what I do! (I’m 29.) Intermittent fasting has totally changed my health as a mother, and I finally have energy. I’m constantly studying the research on it and how we can use it to help our hormones, what to eat at what time of the month, etc. It’s so neat! We also generally stay away from sugar, but don’t hold rigidly to any one diet, and we DO have a sugar dessert every now and then, but it’s not something we crave and have to have. I find it just makes such a difference with all of our moods and ability to handle life, especially with the littler ones😅 I had thought about starting a channel, but you’re including everything I would do if I had one, haha, and much more beautifully😊 May God bless you in your journey!
I love your “what I eat” videos! Keep them coming! Would love a chatty sit down talk about your diet/lifestyle and how you feed your family healthy meals/workouts too. Thanks!
Yogurt is a great tenderiser for Chicken. And only takes around an hour..For one large whole chicken which I have used as is or divided up into pieces.I use approx 3 cups pain full fat yogurt smothering all the chicken in it .Then place in a bowl cover with cling film and put in refrigerator for an hour.After the hour and your ready to cook.I just remove excess yogurt off chicken and it is ready to grill as usual.Its lovely with jacket potatoes and a big salad....Just a thought ....
You are an amazing to provide healthy and fresh foods for you family, you are an Inspiration to me. I love when your family sat down to dinner and you all sang before eating such a great example for your children. I just love your channel!!❤️💐🌸
Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos! I always look forward to them. We also live on a dairy farm that my husband grew up on and are raising our two little girls here! I thoroughly enjoy gardening and flowers so it's so fun to see your lifestyle!!
I skip breakfast too. It allows my body to process everything I've eaten the day before and I actually feel hungry when I start eating the next day. Usually I feel like I'm overloading my body if I have breakfast and making it work to hard and not giving it a chance to empty and start again. Just found your channel and I love your originality and your honest personality compared to alot of other channels/ vloggers. Keep being authentically you :)
Momma, please! You provide amazing, healthy and fresh meals for your family, don't doubt it! Like you, when summer rolls around, I'm all about salads.....can't wait for the tomatoes this season.
You should research into intermittent fasting in women, ita a fairly new science. ALL previous studies have been done on men and as you know we arent just little men! Skipping breakfast is terrible for our hormones, it is better to skip lunch or dinner. Men have a 24 hour hormone cycle, whereas women have a 28 day hormone cycle (on average). We need breakfast because of how hormones work with cortisol and melatonin etc. If you are constantly skipping breakfast, you will end up with a pretty messed up hormonal cycle over time. Anyway, it's worth reading the female studies, they don't support IF during breakfast at all (unless you are post menopausal).
I always say just throw it together pray and enjoy. No need to stress so much that the chicken wasn’t marinated longer….it’s all a blessing and you have so much more important things to worry about. And as you see it turned out wonderful for your family.
To make chicken more tender marinate it in the leftover whey from homemade yogurt or in some yogurt. You only need min 30 to 1 hr and it works like a charm! I always do this when I want a tender chicken but I forget to marinate it early on in the day 😉 hope this helps!
HAPPY MONDAY STEPH, FAMILY, AND ALL THE FUR BABIES. Your food always looks delish! I will eat it anytime. You know human's can't tame the tongue. Just Precious. STTB
Marinades don’t really take that long. For grilled chicken if I’m in a hurry sometimes I literally just put oil, vinegar, and spices on it just before throwing it on the grill and it turns out delicious!
I’ve js if found your channel and I truly love it. There is a question i would love to know though regarding the dairy farm. Do the baby cows get to stay with their mums? X
Wow! My youngest has been suffering with lyme and coinfections for over 5 years. She also has eating sensory issues, which makes it so hard! I'd like to hear more about the lyme journey at some point,
@@ashleyhunter4294 thanks! I'll check it out. She is back on three antibiotics because her numbers have been rising again (although for the past two years she hasn't needed antibiotics, so thankful for that).
Can you tell me more about your sinus concoction? I’m dealing with sinus stuff (it’s been on and off for months) and it’s very annoying! I love researching new ways to heal. ❤
When I was young I had a glass of milk with each meal but I wasn’t allowed to drink it until I finished eating my food. My mother didn’t want us to fill up on milk. To this day, 75 years later, I eat my meal before drinking anything. Always a glass of water before coffee or tea. Old habits live on and on. 😊. Have you, or will you be showing us your new porch/sun room?
My favorite thing to eat not matter the season is eggs with pepper, onions, and cheese. If I am feeling fancy I'll add mushrooms! Top that with some tobasco and sour cream and I am a happy camper! I would love to have chickens. I live in subsidized housing so there isn't any space for them. I did get approval for a couple raised beds so I am now growing 50% of our food and that is good enough for me until the Lord blesses us with mor
Hi Steph! My name is Allison, I just found your channel last night and saw this video today! One thing I noticed was your white bowls you used for the pasta salad, I have the same plates and coffee mugs that match but I thrifted them and the set didn’t come with bowls. Just wondering if you know where I might be able to find the matching bowls online? Thanks! 😊
I talked to a maple farmer in Vermont, and he said the sugar content is so high in syrup, you don't need to freeze it. Just keep it cold in the fridge to keep it from going bad.
My husband travels to Mannheim PA often and we go with him from time to time. I would love to know the name of grocery store you visited that was a pay by pound!!
Is sourdough difficult to make? I’m on my journey to becoming a better homemaker and sourdough is my new fave bread! But seems intimidating. How can I get started?
Do you use white flour or whole grain flour for your sour dough? I've always seen white used but if whole wheat works, nutritionally, would be so much better.
Welcome, Jamie ❤️ yes, my apron is from a small shop on Etsy called theChemistri. I’m not sure they have this exact one anymore, but I think they have similar.
I'm not sure if this is practical for you or not, but I usually bring the compost bin near where I'm cooking or prepping. That way I can just toss the egg shells or veggie scraps right in the bin and not have to wipe up anything off the stove or counter. 😊
No, we haven’t had one in about 10 years 😊 after learning they’re not good for you, we just decided never to get used to one. I hardly ever think of it now, except when I run into a crunch with dinner like this! 😅
It actually turned out super tasty! Some of the maple syrup just stayed in the bowl so it wasn’t very sweet, but perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream 😉
Sourdough contains higher levels of vitamins and nutrients. Also has lower levels of phytates which allow your body to absorb those nutrients more equally than regular white breads. Also has a lower glycemic index so doesn’t spike blood sugar like regular white bread and is easier to digest. Einkorn wheat is similar. Hope this helps :)
This one is from Neuflora (linked in my description box). That’s probably my favorite place correctly to get outfits. Other good ones are Inherit Clothing, Duvi Boutique, or Salt and Honey Clothing
I agree but I think she is referring to societies view of families these days (or maybe she does think 4 kids is alot 🤷♀️). I'm on number 5 right now and still have plenty of room for more ❤
Women actually NEED carbs. So, there is our excuse to enjoy them without guilt. Lol. Obviously, in moderation, but they aren't big bad and scary! Yay. Haha!
I appreciate how “real” you are.
You need to do a tutorial on your hair styles. I love that low bun.
Thank you, Alena 💗 it’s honestly super easy!
I agree!
Yes!!!

Oh YES, fresh tomatoes are SO tasty 😋

My favorite breakfast food is turning a corn tortilla into a tostada and having an egg or 2, Pico de gallo, and cheese on it. Yumm
That sounds delicious 😋
Mmm, sounds like mine. I put green Chile on top
I love your home style 😍!
Good Monday morning Steph.. What a haul. Thanks so much for the great salad recipes for feeding a family. 👍😊 .

We love having chicken with a little sesame oil and a lot of cocoaminos. I bake in the oven or grill it. It tastes so good! Comes out very moist.

Thank you! Do you have this bread recipe in your channel?
I have a question about your fasting. I've been trying, but usually by 8:00 am, I am dizzy. I stop eating about 6:00 pm.
❤everything looked so good
Italian salad dressing is a good marinade.
I loved the song playing while you were cooking breakfast. Can you share the title?♥️
It’s just called “Pray” 😊

Love your videos!
Your food always looks amazing!!! Do you use white wine vinegar in the dressing or regular white vinegar? Or have you substituted or not a good idea?
I used regular white vinegar 😊

What is the beautiful song that played at the beginning of the video?
Love your Red Aspen nails 😊
Your home is beautiful
My two year old wants to visit your house after watching this video 😆❤️
Hi what is the name of the first song that came on? Thank you
Love your heart for the family ❤ that’s how we eat too! 😄
Love it 🥰
Lovely video.I just love all your content. 😊🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
Do you have a sourdough starter recipe?
You are such a beautiful person with a humble heart. Thank you for shining the joy of a Godly life.
What is the Pink Drink??
Oatmeal with fresh fruit and honey
I love your family
Sourdough bread recipe please!
Electrolytes! You need more than just water. Constantly drinking plain water is actually dehydrating.
Song at 14 minute mark?
Just love your channel TFS 🇬🇧
Thank you, Susan ❤️
Do you use white flour or whole grain flour for your sour dough? I've always seen white used but if whole wheat works, nutritionally, would be so much better.
I believe you can do either. I prefer using white unbleached.
I use 100% whole wheat
Awesome boules
Favorite summer meal...gaspacho
Enjoyed.
Your dinner looks great what prime rib rub did you use on chicken ? What is pink drink for sugar do you use ?
I used the Traeger Prime Rib Rub, and the pink drink is from plexus. I hope that helps 🫶🏼

There are no essential carbs
No one needs them
We do have essential fatty acids & essential amino acids tho.
Next time use Italian dressing and your seasonings on your chicken and grill it.
Ohhh that’s a good idea 🥰
