My beautiful momma made them as well. Cut up several russets, about the same size. Rinse off the potatoes and put them into a saucepan with enough water to not quite cover them. Add salt, pepper and a couple of tablespoons of bacon fat and bring them to a boil. Reduce to a medium simmer and stir frequently. Stirring the potatoes thickens them. Don’t leave them. You will learn as you go but don’t give up. You can regulate the heat as needed. If they seem too thick they are cooking too fast. It should take around 20 minutes for the potatoes to become tender. I hope you try this. Your grandma I’m sure, was a wonderful cook, just like my mom. Merry Christmas 🙏♥️
Hi guys. Yes show us how to make potatoes. I love them but I never learned from my mom how to cook them. A lot of things I wish I had learned from her❤
Ms Lori, I miss those days we had to stop using our wood heat and cooking with it and such way back when I was young because mama got a really bad cause of the boncidous and the doctor said she couldn't be in it anymore. That her lungs would collapse. So to keep mama around we did what we had to do. There was man y days that we made a meal on cornbread and stewed potatoes. That's good eats. Grits I can make a meal on any day. Today I cooked a hen and potatoes onions potatoes and carrots and biscuits I had made ahead of time and froze up in the freezer. If you and Mr. Brown would keep me in your prayers I saw the eye surgeon yesterday and I'm going to be having two eye surgeries on each eye starting in March. That's as soon as they could get me in. They say I've got several diseases in my eyes. I new I was getting pretty bad in my sight. I can't get around outside my house much at all. I have to have help even with my glasses. So I thank you both. I thank you for the example you put before everyone. God bless you both merry Christmas*̣̥☆·͙̥❄‧̩̥࿌ིྀ྇˟͙☃️˟͙࿌ིྀ྇‧̩̥❄·͙̥̣☆*̣̥
Ohh, thanks again !!! It’s always such an ‘uplift’ to see one of your videos come up on my screen. I know that you put so much work and focus into producing these wonderful programs... please remember, that with all the work you are doing... you are making a profound and sweet difference for all of us in this community. You and Danny are making so many lives, so much better. Thank you so much.
It has been my experience throughout life if you got wood and a wood stove cold is not the biggest issue. I have seen times we would have snow on the ground and have window and or doors open because it got so hot in the house with wood stoves. But then again I don't live at the north pole, Georgia boy born and raised. But even here it is going to be cold by the end of the week. It is already in the 20's at night and suppose to be in the teens by the end of the week so where ever your at keep warm folks. Where there is a will there is a way. 62 years old, still swinging a axe and busting down knots with wedges and sledge hammer. They can be a bugger. Not everyone can afford hydraulic splitters.
Farm life isn’t easy, it’s hard work. You work long hours. I love the way you prepare ahead for unexpected life events. You’ll sure enjoy sitting by a warm fire and the best food ever cooked on a wood stove. Every video you do makes me so homesick to see my deceased relatives. This WAS THEIR DAILY lives. God fearing, hard working precious family. I’m blessed to have had them in my life. God bless you and Mr. Brown and your family.
I never knew what pork chops were until I was about 16 when I stayed the night with my best friend. I was raised on pinto beans, fried potatoes, cornbread, fried chicken & chicken n dumplings. I was the next to the youngest of my siblings so I did learn what a hamburger was after the older siblings flew the coup.
I absolutely love your life style. Some of my family are farmers as well. They also are deer hunters at Thanksgiving time. They all go hunting and come in for Thanksgiving supper. It's a tradition around here. Wishing you and Mr. Brown and your family a very Merry Christmas celebrating the Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ with us. ✝💕
I wish we still had the good ole days with us. I miss them so much. I would spend lots of time with my Gramma and we did so many things together. I learned so much about food, canning and perserving from her. Keep a close eys on the babies so they all live. I wish I could have one....Thank you and God Bless you and Mr. Brown Merry Christmas to you both and your entire family.....
Donna Pollock- Yes growing up with my Grandma Hazel was wonderful! She taught me so much, but you can still have pieces of the good ole days today. That is what the Browns are sharing. We basically live the 1930s the lifestyle of our grand parents, here in rural New Hampshire. Our kitchen wood stove is vintage 1930 and fun to cook on, especially during winter power outages. It truly is a Home Comfort to us. Merry Christmas to everyone! ~ Diane
We live on a farm in KY. Down in a holler and we feel very blessed to have springs,a pond, and trees to cut for fire wood. Cedar for posts for fence. Nothing like a good warm meal to end the day.
My grandparents were from the hills of Virginia and they would have pork chops for breakfast and pour the pan fat over the eggs with cornbread. I remember staying there for the weekend and waking up to the smell of the wood stove burning. Thank you for bringing those memories back : )
I'm in southern West Virginia and we call these creamed potatoes. I can remember as a kid, getting new spring potatoes and fresh peas and mom would cream them. To this day that is my favorite side dish. Lots of good, comforting feelings thinking back on those days
I’ve always called them creamed potatoes, too. My mom used whole new potatoes, but they weren’t as soupy or in such small pieces as shown in this video. Sorta looks like potato soup.
love the genuine home some of your channel We don't live in Arkansas or even in the hills. We have cooked like this all my life, I still cook like this., We just call us plain ole country folks, We love the Lord, Going to Church when the doors are open, Help our nabors anyway we can, We Look out for out for each other. Not to keen on strangers. Love you Both Have a Blessed Holiday
We call it "creamed" potatoes, and, boy, are they good fixed like that! Peas and carrots, another favorite. Just good eating! Your channel is so calming and it reminds me of so many happy memories of my childhood. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
Hey guys!!! I just became a subscriber after several years of watching you guys on my wife’s phone and we have RUclips on our television set, so now I can carry you guys with me wherever I go now!!! I love everything about you guys! My wife and I enjoy you guys so much you feel like a part of our family. I’m glad that you guys are great Christian people! God bless you guys and tell Mr. Brown (Danny) I love listening to him when he does Bible study/reading. Miss Lori just watched you guys making donuts since Mr. Brown is now retired, but I think miss Lori has helped him find a new job at the house!!! LOL 😆🤣😂
Y’all work hard! But I know it’s worth it. Love how you stay sustainable; how you live off the land. Very commendable. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.
Please, Mrs. Lori, show us how to cook stewed potatoes. I'd like to see a video on anything you cook. I enjoy watching so much. Also any information on living "old timey". I'm 66, and listening to you share how you grew up makes me so happy. I grew up and lived the same. My memories are what keep me going in this upside down world. Thank you for sharing. Love you and Mr. Brown.
We don't live on a hill, but we have a small garden and this is what we have for supper. We live next to a train overpass and when a log truck goes under the bridge they sometimes have logs that fall off the trailer and neighbors come by and cut the logs up for their firewood. We live by the Red River in the great state of Arkansas and this is where we get our fish. So, I think we are a little self sustaining. lol May you and Mr. Brown have a Merry CHRISTmas.
My husband and I cut wood to sell and for home use. It was how we made extra cash for Christmas and vacation as well as to help make ends meet. We still heat with wood. I lost my husband this year but he taught e how to use the chainsaw and wood splitter. I cut the wood down last year and split it this spring and summer. Nothing like wood heat. I also cook with wood too. Love my wood cook stove. You call it stewed potatoes, we call it potatoes soup. It is delicious by any name. I grew up eating supper/dinners just like the one you presented here. Fit for a king Or queen and all their minions Merry Christmas to you and your family.
We just brought in our wood for the next few days. My husband and I killed some squirrel this evening and I’ve got them soaking overnight for supper tomorrow. Getting ready for some COLD weather here in NWNC. God bless and Merry Christmas!!!
I realize that this program is not the one I wanted to comment on but the one I wanted to talk to you about the getting to know more about you and Mr. Brown. You know, I think I could listen to you two all day long and not get tired. Sometimes I watch the same video several time. I feel that you are some of the most GENUINE PEOPLE ON RUclips! I can feel and see it I. Your eyes how much you love being together. I feel like I have known you both my whole life. And you make me happy! Plus, you warm my heart when you start talking about God! Most people just don’t seem to be interested in talking about what God brings to your lives and mine too. You live a simple life but you are both such hard workers. Some of the food you cook reminds me of my own childhood. It’s like you grew up so much like me. I know I am a few years older than you but I feel like we could have grown up together! I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, Washington State. Not Seattle fortunately and I don’t go there very often. It is a massive parking lot on the interstate. Doesn’t matter the time of day either. The area has been growing out of control and so many of the old timers are getting pushed out of the area. Even where I have been living since 1989. It is beautiful here and we have beautiful Summers, we don’t have the humidity that’s back East. I would like to invite you to come and visit our neck of the woods. I would need to warn you first because once you get here, you may not want to go back home! The past week has been snow, although we don’t have but maybe an inch but last night, we had terrible Ice Storms. We couldn’t even get off our porch! My little 7 year old Schnauzer could barely stand up to go potty. It looked like she was on a ice skating rink! She didn’t want to go out again after that! My late husband was born and raised in Tennessee and he and I were so happy, we grew up the same way in lots of things. I like the way of life in the south, just a simple way to live where people take care of their families or neighbors, and if you are having a hard time, they would help as if you were all family. I would be such a joy to meet you both. I think you are so good together. When I was new to your channel, it seemed that Mr. Brown didn’t like to talk! Well, I just think he can be so funny and like you, is a joy to listen to. I would feel it to be an honor to get to meet such wonderful people that believe in Putting God First! It’s sad that more people can’t get that point across. I don’t go a day without Thanking our Heavenly Father for all he has done and given to me! I can’t imagine my life without knowing he is beside me. I Love the Lord, he is first in my life and will remain there anytime I may need him. I’m sorry this is so long but I just am so happy to be acquainted, even if it’s by RUclips! You and Mr. Brown are my brother and sister in Christ and you will be in my prayers. Take care of yourselves and I hope that you all have a merry Christmas putting God first and I ask the Lord to bless you with health and success. In Jesus name, I pray, amen.
May not live in the hills of Arkansas, but I do live in the country of NE Texas, and I am making green beans with new potatoes & bacon and fried pork chops for my supper tonight
Oh, I remember my grandparents wood stove they cooked on. To me, nothing tasted better. I am no longer able to do that. God bless you and your family during this Holiday Season. 🙏
I remember so many weekends we cut and stacked wood to heat with. For 16 years, that old wood stove was our only source of heat. We had logged our timber twice, and had all kinds of tree tops from oak and hickory, and that's what we used. We heated a 1600 Sq ft house with that. The top of the stove was flat, and I could set a skillet or a pot on top, and have cooked alot of soups, stews, roasts and fried stuff on it. Thank you for sharing so much of your life. God bless you and your family
It’s gonna be a cold one!!! 🥶🥶🥶. I ordered extra propane and butane canisters. Been storing lots of water too. Keeping the truck fully gassed ! Which has electric plug ins and and everything able to be charged. By Thursday NW Arkansas will be in the minus!! Prayers for ya’ll
I have always wanted a wood cookstove, but I don't see it in my immediate future. We have many Amish friends and I really enjoy watching them cooking and baking with their wood cookstoves.
Miss Lori I didn't realize that was you st first helping Mr. Brown. Thank you for showing what you do. Both of you are such hard workers and smart workers. I love your stories...Mrs.Steve
Good stewards of the land is how I see you and Mr Brown. Doing the best thing for the land and for your family. This supper of yours looks like many suppers that I grew up with and now cook for my family. I grew up in Memphis and about 23 years ago moved to Covington Tennessee and during that 23 years we lived in Heber springs Arkansas for about 4 or 5 years. This is how I grew up eating and it's how I cook for my family now. Thank you so much for the video and I hope the two of you have a wonderful Christmas.
The only thing that you do that I cannot bring myself to do is to eat grits! LOL! I have tried and tried and I just cannot stomach them I don't know what it is but I think it's the texture. 🤪😝🤢
Oh you named your hogs. I raised 4 hogs and made the mistake naming them. I had to give the head and and other parts to a neighbor I just couldn’t look at the head in a pot. But kept the rest of the meat. It was so good. I grain feed mine and got expired sweet from a bakery.
Yes! Breakfast, Dinner and Supper!! Cooking on a wood stove was the way it was done by my Grandma and Aunt. They were very primitive and it kept the house warm too!
This is a meal we still have!! Only difference is we fry our potatoes! Miss this time at my Grandmas house, I’m the Grandma now. We had a good fried chicken supper yesterday for my son’s birthday!! Have the Happiest of Christmas’s!! 🤗
Stay warm! Keep us viewers updated. I am here in Oregon but hear it will be very cold around you. Also! Would love that stewed potato recipe ❤ God bless!
Watching your supper cook, my stomach started growling. Scared the sleeping dog! Sure looked yummy. I’m going to search your website for stewed potatoes, now. I just harvested a pot of new potatoes so perfect for my supper with toast.🥰💕❤️👍
Such simple life ,simple people, remember my grandma cooking that way ,so yummy and comforting ,Love your channel, look forward to watching your daily life , HAPPY HOLIDAYS To You Both 🦌🌲
Some hardworking folks taking care of business on the homestead. Nothing is better than a homemade country meal like those fried pork chops, peas and carrots, and some stewed potatoes with a skillet of cornbread. A good country meal will certainly make your day. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and be sure to enjoy everyday day that God provides. - Tennessee Smoky
Just love this channel. I love learning about the old ways. They were so lost, but they always say that history repeats itself. Would sure enjoy the recipe for those yummy potatoes.
I'm so grateful for our wood stove and I'm grateful yall have one to. Praying for everyone to stay warm in the coming days and praying yall have a very blessed Christmas and thank God everyday for my Jesus.
Yes, please share with us how to make your stewed potatoes. When my husband and I first married we live with his parents for a couple months and his mom would make this meal with cornbread. I would love to be able to make this for my husband and I. All of her recipes were in her head and she never stopped long enough to write them all down. I have tried to replicate it with no success. They are nothing like Leatha's. I enjoy watching your videos because the meals you cook are down to earth and delicious. Thanks so very much!
I grew up on a 398 acre farm I'm 70 we eat from what we grew canned harvest gathered and hunted I'd go back in a heart beat for it was a hard life but a really good life we didn't have a bathroom gas heat air conditioner washer or dryer we used wood and coal to heatI truly respect you both God Bless you both MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU BOTH
I'm 71 years old, and I've never heard of stewed potatoes! It looks yummy, and I'd love to see how you make it. Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Brown!
Thanks for sharing this! You live the life that I dream about. Maybe some day? Also, those stewed potatoes is what we call "hard taters". I would LOVE to see how you make yours. Too, congrats on the rain!! I live in Little Rock. The rain was a blessing for us as well.
Please make a video showing how to make those stewed potatoes. My mother used to make them and they were so good but I never learned how and I miss my stewed potatoes.
My precious Daddy loved stewed potatoes. He called them "soupy taters" and I would love to cook him some tonight. But, he's been at home since 2009 and I miss him so very much. I add onions, diced ham, shredded cheese, and a can of cream of chicken soup or if I'm out of C.O.C., I'll add in chicken bouillon . Thank you for waking up these cherished memories. I hope you both and your family have a blessed Christmas and a much better new year! Xoxox ☮️💝🙏🏻🇺🇸🇮🇱✝️🙌🏻🎄
Thank you Ms Lori ots so good to see a video from you all. I've missed you both Merry Christmas to you and Mr Brown sent with lots of love and many hugs. Love you all
Your pork chops look so good. It is hard to find tasty pork in our stores. Some when they are cooking smell like how I remember the pig pen smelling. I think that meat is from very old pigs. The nice pork only smells like good meat., not piggy. Wish I could tell the difference just by looking. Maybe you and Mr. Brown know.
I am a Minnesota gal.. My grandma called the beef fat "suet", she would ask the butcher for it. She made the best creamed potatoes. We call it supper. Breakfast, lunch and supper. You have it right Miss Lori. I don't think the differences in food and the names for the meals of the day are so much to do with different area's of the country, but more to do with financially poor (we've always worked hard but always poor) vs financially wealthy God provides if we work hard and believe. Great video.
I would love to see your recipe for stewed potatoes. My son and I also live with wood heat but since my husband passed, my son is disabled, and I am 76 and arthritic, I now have to buy the wood. It used to be under a $100 a cord just a few years back but now $300 a cord is considered reasonable and it can go upward to $500 a cord. We have enough wood left to get us to Christmas and right now it's -32 C which is about minus 30 F. We can maintain about 60-65F in the house when it's this cold. A recipe for stewed potatoes would fill our stomachs and keep us warm. May God bless you and your husband abundantly! Merry Christmas.
We had that last night. Good stuff. Tonight is chili. Christmas is going to be chicken -n- dressing and gravy. Plus I am making mom's stollen. And probably fudge. I am going to try to get he fudge done before the winter storm gets here on Thursday. The Ouachita Mountains always gets snow from storms like this. Not sure how much winter weather you will get in your neck of the woods but batten down the hatches 'cause it's coming. God bless you and keep you safe.
That is what I grew up eating, my dad was born and raised in Ivy Arkansas, my mother in Louisiana, me here in Washington State. I make cornbread every other week for my mother who is 87 years young. Love your channel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
GREETINGS IM NEW TO YOUR CHANNEL. I LOVE IT. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LIVES. I LIVE IN WESTERN NEW YORK STATE. IM 61 WITH GRANDKIDS. WISHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A BLESSED HOLIDAY SEASON.
I raised my two young children on stewed potatoes , cornbread.,and bacon for supper many nights when my husband was working evening shift as a police officer. Would cook other meat as family meal when he was home on off days. Good memories.
We had fried pork chops tonight with fresh collard greens that I looked and boiled then fried down in bacon and ham grease and homemade gravy!! We always heated with wood growing up!! Sometimes kerosene heater.
When my husband and I married his family used coal and wood to heat their home. My husband and I used wood to heat our home with. My mother in law loaned us her Daddy's two kids wood stove at one point. We used it to not only heat with but I would cook on it. I would help my husband as he would cut wood. I'd work until I worked the heat out of my body. Whew! I've used a wood splitter and split up a huge pile of wood. It wasn't easy. The memories! Goodness! I watch you and Mr Brown working. Uncovers a lot of memories. Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!
You are such a great cook Mr Lori. Love watching you and Mr.Brown. hope your both doing well. Love you lots. Tara and kendall cox from five islands nova scoita Canada 🇨🇦❤
Thank you for your lovely channel! I'd love to see more recipes and content about cooking on the wood range. We live in a very old home in the country in upstate New York, so much of your content applies to us directly!
Your pig and pond are looking good. That's too bad about the ducks. Yep that looks like a really good, filling supper to me! My mom used to always throw in some applesauce after we ate, and we loved to say pork chops and applesauce, lol! God bless y'all and merry Christmas!☃️🎄💖✝️🎁🎶
That's the meals I grew up on, made for my family and still cook today (age 72) in the Upstate of South Carolina. That kind of cooking goes on all over the South.
Oh my… 😋. I love stewed potatoes and I rarely fix them because my husband doesn’t like them. He doesn’t like potato soup either. I make a cheesy chicken chowder that is like stewed potatoes with shredded chicken, diced carrots and celery . Make a roux for a cheese sauce,add 8 ounces cheddar cheese and pour into your potato pot when the veggies are cooked. Add 1/4-1/2 block of velveeta. This makes my small pressure cooker pot full. I love it … my husband will eat one bowl without fussing. You fix my kind of meals. And my 3rd meal of the day is supper. God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas 🎄. ❤
Same food I grew up eating and the same I eat today. I don't imagine that no matter what part of the country you are from, north to south or east to west, country folk are pretty much the same. Just the difference of actual location. I'm a bit older than you and Pa Brown, but still the same in beliefs and upbringing. Have a Merry Christmas and God bless you and yours.
Oh I’ve never seen stewed potato before in Australia. I would love to see a recipe for that as our family loves potatoes. It’s winter here and any dish I can let simmer on the wood stove while I do other work is a winner! We eat pretty simple food as for me, that’s a sustainable way of ensuring we eat good home cooked food and don’t opt for take away because cook as come too much of a hassle. I’m really enjoying learning about good southern cooking! Sending thanks and prayers to you all. - Emma xx
Good Evening, Mrs. Lori and Mr. Brown . I was raised up eating . Stewed potatoes and cornbread . Also pork chops and other meats . I still enjoy home cooked meals . That my mother taught me to cook . Whatever you had for lunch . You ate for supper . That's all people knew is the wood stoves . Thank You Mrs. Lori and Mr. Brown . For so much that you taught us . To survive when we have to . Merry Christmas . To Both Of You And Family .🎄🎁
Fun to look back but Mr. Brown will have to admit that log splitter was heaven sent. I love grits with my pork chops. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2023.
Stewed potatoes please! My grandmother used to make those with cornbread nearly every night. I never learned how and now I miss them dearly.
My beautiful momma made them as well.
Cut up several russets, about the same size. Rinse off the potatoes and put them into a saucepan with enough water to not quite cover them. Add salt, pepper and a couple of tablespoons of bacon fat and bring them to a boil. Reduce to a medium simmer and stir frequently. Stirring the potatoes thickens them. Don’t leave them. You will learn as you go but don’t give up. You can regulate the heat as needed. If they seem too thick they are cooking too fast. It should take around 20 minutes for the potatoes to become tender. I hope you try this. Your grandma I’m sure, was a wonderful cook, just like my mom. Merry Christmas 🙏♥️
Cut potatoes into small cubes and add salt and lots of butter and cook until Linda thick
Would love to see how to cook stewed potatoes❤❤❤
Hi guys. Yes show us how to make potatoes. I love them but I never learned from my mom how to cook them. A lot of things I wish I had learned from her❤
I'd never heard of stewed potatoes before. Would really be interested in the recipe.
Looks so good! I definitely want the recipes for the stewed potatoes and cornbread.
Me too.
Me three 😊
I would too
Me too!!
Me four! Lol😂
Ms Lori, I miss those days we had to stop using our wood heat and cooking with it and such way back when I was young because mama got a really bad cause of the boncidous and the doctor said she couldn't be in it anymore. That her lungs would collapse. So to keep mama around we did what we had to do. There was man y days that we made a meal on cornbread and stewed potatoes. That's good eats. Grits I can make a meal on any day. Today I cooked a hen and potatoes onions potatoes and carrots and biscuits I had made ahead of time and froze up in the freezer. If you and Mr. Brown would keep me in your prayers I saw the eye surgeon yesterday and I'm going to be having two eye surgeries on each eye starting in March. That's as soon as they could get me in. They say I've got several diseases in my eyes. I new I was getting pretty bad in my sight. I can't get around outside my house much at all. I have to have help even with my glasses. So I thank you both. I thank you for the example you put before everyone. God bless you both merry Christmas*̣̥☆·͙̥❄‧̩̥࿌ིྀ྇˟͙☃️˟͙࿌ིྀ྇‧̩̥❄·͙̥̣☆*̣̥
Ohh, thanks again !!! It’s always such an ‘uplift’ to see one of your videos come up on my screen. I know that you put so much work and focus into producing these wonderful programs... please remember, that with all the work you are doing... you are making a profound and sweet difference for all of us in this community. You and Danny are making so many lives, so much better. Thank you so much.
I second that emotion 👍
Warm, stick to the bones dinner! Looks delicious Mrs. Lori, prayers for everyone who's getting hit with the arctic blast...burrrr I'm ready for spring
Y’all stay warm this week. Its going to be dangerously cold.
It has been my experience throughout life if you got wood and a wood stove cold is not the biggest issue.

I'm so glad you called it supper. The way I grew up the only time we had "dinner" was Sunday midday!
Farm life isn’t easy, it’s hard work. You work long hours. I love the way you prepare ahead for unexpected life events.

I wish we still had the good ole days with us. I miss them so much. I would spend lots of time with my Gramma and we did so many things together. I learned so much about food, canning and perserving from her. Keep a close eys on the babies so they all live. I wish I could have one....Thank you and God Bless you and Mr. Brown Merry Christmas to you both and your entire family.....
Donna Pollock- Yes growing up with my Grandma Hazel was wonderful! She taught me so much, but you can still have pieces of the good ole days today. That is what the Browns are sharing.

We live on a farm in KY. Down in a holler and we feel very blessed to have springs,a pond, and trees to cut for fire wood. Cedar for posts for fence. Nothing like a good warm meal to end the day.
Luv You "2" Showin' Us "The Good

I would love to see how you make stewed potatoes. I thought I've eaten potatoes every way but I've not had them stewed. Love your videos!
I would love to see it too!!

Hey guys!!! I just became a subscriber after several years of watching you guys on my wife’s phone and we have RUclips on our television set, so now I can carry you guys with me wherever I go now!!! I love everything about you guys! My wife and I enjoy you guys so much you feel like a part of our family. I’m glad that you guys are great Christian people! God bless you guys and tell Mr. Brown (Danny) I love listening to him when he does Bible study/reading. Miss Lori just watched you guys making donuts since Mr. Brown is now retired, but I think miss Lori has helped him find a new job at the house!!! LOL 😆🤣😂
Y’all work hard! But I know it’s worth it. Love how you stay sustainable; how you live off the land. Very commendable. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.
Please, Mrs. Lori, show us how to cook stewed potatoes. I'd like to see a video on anything you cook. I enjoy watching so much. Also any information on living "old timey". I'm 66, and listening to you share how you grew up makes me so happy. I grew up and lived the same. My memories are what keep me going in this upside down world. Thank you for sharing. Love you and Mr. Brown.
Stewed potatoes with cabbage and cornbread for supper. Last night was grits with leftover ham mixed in.
Thank you for sharing Ms Lori have a blessed evening stay safe and healthy. Great video. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏
Here in Osage County, Oklahoma our weather for Thursday we will be 38° and drop to 8° by 3:00 in the afternoon... Stay warm and safe y'all
We don't live on a hill, but we have a small garden and this is what we have for supper. We live next to a train overpass and when a log truck goes under the bridge they sometimes have logs that fall off the trailer and neighbors come by and cut the logs up for their firewood. We live by the Red River in the great state of Arkansas and this is where we get our fish. So, I think we are a little self sustaining. lol May you and Mr. Brown have a Merry CHRISTmas.
My husband and I cut wood to sell and for home use. It was how we made extra cash for Christmas and vacation as well as to help make ends meet. We still heat with wood. I lost my husband this year but he taught e how to use the chainsaw and wood splitter. I cut the wood down last year and split it this spring and summer. Nothing like wood heat. I also cook with wood too. Love my wood cook stove. You call it stewed potatoes, we call it potatoes soup. It is delicious by any name. I grew up eating supper/dinners just like the one you presented here. Fit for a king Or queen and all their minions Merry Christmas to you and your family.
We just brought in our wood for the next few days. My husband and I killed some squirrel this evening and I’ve got them soaking overnight for supper tomorrow. Getting ready for some COLD weather here in NWNC. God bless and Merry Christmas!!!
I realize that this program is not the one I wanted to comment on but the one I wanted to talk to you about the getting to know more about you and Mr. Brown. You know, I think I could listen to you two all day long and not get tired. Sometimes I watch the same video several time. I feel that you are some of the most GENUINE PEOPLE ON RUclips! I can feel and see it I. Your eyes how much you love being together. I feel like I have known you both my whole life. And you make me happy! Plus, you warm my heart when you start talking about God! Most people just don’t seem to be interested in talking about what God brings to your lives and mine too. You live a simple life but you are both such hard workers. Some of the food you cook reminds me of my own childhood. It’s like you grew up so much like me. I know I am a few years older than you but I feel like we could have grown up together! I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, Washington State. Not Seattle fortunately and I don’t go there very often. It is a massive parking lot on the interstate. Doesn’t matter the time of day either. The area has been growing out of control and so many of the old timers are getting pushed out of the area. Even where I have been living since 1989. It is beautiful here and we have beautiful Summers, we don’t have the humidity that’s back East. I would like to invite you to come and visit our neck of the woods. I would need to warn you first because once you get here, you may not want to go back home! The past week has been snow, although we don’t have but maybe an inch but last night, we had terrible Ice Storms. We couldn’t even get off our porch! My little 7 year old Schnauzer could barely stand up to go potty. It looked like she was on a ice skating rink! She didn’t want to go out again after that! My late husband was born and raised in Tennessee and he and I were so happy, we grew up the same way in lots of things. I like the way of life in the south, just a simple way to live where people take care of their families or neighbors, and if you are having a hard time, they would help as if you were all family. I would be such a joy to meet you both. I think you are so good together. When I was new to your channel, it seemed that Mr. Brown didn’t like to talk! Well, I just think he can be so funny and like you, is a joy to listen to. I would feel it to be an honor to get to meet such wonderful people that believe in Putting God First! It’s sad that more people can’t get that point across. I don’t go a day without Thanking our Heavenly Father for all he has done and given to me! I can’t imagine my life without knowing he is beside me. I Love the Lord, he is first in my life and will remain there anytime I may need him.
I’m sorry this is so long but I just am so happy to be acquainted, even if it’s by RUclips! You and Mr. Brown are my brother and sister in Christ and you will be in my prayers. Take care of yourselves and I hope that you all have a merry Christmas putting God first and I ask the Lord to bless you with health and success. In Jesus name, I pray, amen.
May not live in the hills of Arkansas, but I do live in the country of NE Texas, and I am making green beans with new potatoes & bacon and fried pork chops for my supper tonight
Oh, I remember my grandparents wood stove they cooked on. To me, nothing tasted better. I am no longer able to do that. God bless you and your family during this Holiday Season. 🙏
I remember so many weekends we cut and stacked wood to heat with. For 16 years, that old wood stove was our only source of heat. We had logged our timber twice, and had all kinds of tree tops from oak and hickory, and that's what we used. We heated a 1600 Sq ft house with that. The top of the stove was flat, and I could set a skillet or a pot on top, and have cooked alot of soups, stews, roasts and fried stuff on it. Thank you for sharing so much of your life. God bless you and your family
I’m from Louisiana and raised on a farm,, and my mother cooked just like that.. eating of the finest!! ❤
It’s gonna be a cold one!!! 🥶🥶🥶. I ordered extra propane and butane canisters. Been storing lots of water too. Keeping the truck fully gassed ! Which has electric plug ins and and everything able to be charged. By Thursday NW Arkansas will be in the minus!! Prayers for ya’ll
I have always wanted a wood cookstove, but I don't see it in my immediate future. We have many Amish friends and I really enjoy watching them cooking and baking with their wood cookstoves.
We love stewed potatoes and cornbread. Pork chops is always good too. Supper looked delicious to me Ms. Lori. ⛈❄️⛄️
Miss Lori I didn't realize that was you st first helping Mr. Brown. Thank you for showing what you do. Both of you are such hard workers and smart workers. I love your stories...Mrs.Steve
Good stewards of the land is how I see you and Mr Brown. Doing the best thing for the land and for your family. This supper of yours looks like many suppers that I grew up with and now cook for my family. I grew up in Memphis and about 23 years ago moved to Covington Tennessee and during that 23 years we lived in Heber springs Arkansas for about 4 or 5 years. This is how I grew up eating and it's how I cook for my family now. Thank you so much for the video and I hope the two of you have a wonderful Christmas.
The only thing that you do that I cannot bring myself to do is to eat grits! LOL! I have tried and tried and I just cannot stomach them I don't know what it is but I think it's the texture. 🤪😝🤢
Absolutely, That's what supper looks like too here in the NE GA mountains! Merry Christmas and God Bless
Would love to learn how you do stewed potatoes
Oh you named your hogs. I raised 4 hogs and made the mistake naming them. I had to give the head and and other parts to a neighbor I just couldn’t look at the head in a pot. But kept the rest of the meat. It was so good. I grain feed mine and got expired sweet from a bakery.
Yes! Breakfast, Dinner and Supper!!
Cooking on a wood stove was the way it was done by my Grandma and Aunt. They were very primitive and it kept the house warm too!
It looks yummy, now I'm hungry lol! I'm making mashed potatoes gravy and hamburger patties with a salad TFS Have a Merry Christmas! Lord bless!
I so love the country life. I grew up on a farm in Pa. And, the way of life is simple not extremely harsh and the food is out of this world.
This is a meal we still have!! Only difference is we fry our potatoes! Miss this time at my Grandmas house, I’m the Grandma now. We had a good fried chicken supper yesterday for my son’s birthday!!
Have the Happiest of Christmas’s!! 🤗
Stay warm! Keep us viewers updated. I am here in Oregon but hear it will be very cold around you. Also! Would love that stewed potato recipe ❤ God bless!
Watching your supper cook, my stomach started growling. Scared the sleeping dog! Sure looked yummy. I’m going to search your website for stewed potatoes, now. I just harvested a pot of new potatoes so perfect for my supper with toast.🥰💕❤️👍
Such simple life ,simple people, remember my grandma cooking that way ,so yummy and comforting ,Love your channel, look forward to watching your daily life , HAPPY HOLIDAYS To You Both 🦌🌲
Lived this life all my young life an miss it so much !was raised on breakfast dinner an supper and still call it that!
Some hardworking folks taking care of business on the homestead. Nothing is better than a homemade country meal like those fried pork chops, peas and carrots, and some stewed potatoes with a skillet of cornbread. A good country meal will certainly make your day. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and be sure to enjoy everyday day that God provides. - Tennessee Smoky
This is the kind of suppers I was raised on Mrs Lori.
Sometimes we would have meal gravy with stewed potatoes pork chops and skillet cornbread.
I remember my mom boiling potatoes and then adding butter, flour and milk to make a white sauce. So good with cornbread.
Just love this channel. I love learning about the old ways. They were so lost, but they always say that history repeats itself. Would sure enjoy the recipe for those yummy potatoes.
I'm so grateful for our wood stove and I'm grateful yall have one to. Praying for everyone to stay warm in the coming days and praying yall have a very blessed Christmas and thank God everyday for my Jesus.
Yes, please share with us how to make your stewed potatoes. When my husband and I first married we live with his parents for a couple months and his mom would make this meal with cornbread. I would love to be able to make this for my husband and I. All of her recipes were in her head and she never stopped long enough to write them all down. I have tried to replicate it with no success. They are nothing like Leatha's. I enjoy watching your videos because the meals you cook are down to earth and delicious. Thanks so very much!
We are from farm family's, this is the kind of food we both ate and still do. Great flavors that I wouldn't live without. 💓👍
Stick to your ribs supper. Take care in this coming cold. Merry Christmas to you both.
I would LOVE to see how you do your stewed potatoes! They looked so delicious!
I grew up on a 398 acre farm I'm 70 we eat from what we grew canned harvest gathered and hunted I'd go back in a heart beat for it was a hard life but a really good life we didn't have a bathroom gas heat air conditioner washer or dryer we used wood and coal to heatI truly respect you both God Bless you both MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU BOTH
I'm 71 years old, and I've never heard of stewed potatoes! It looks yummy, and I'd love to see how you make it. Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Brown!
YAY!!! So glad to see the pond full up!
Cooking video our always great to have new ideas on things to combine for dinner thanks for your time and effort
We have the best life here in Arkansas. This looks like a supper I love to cook. Merry Christmas neighbors.
Thanks for sharing this! You live the life that I dream about. Maybe some day? Also, those stewed potatoes is what we call "hard taters". I would LOVE to see how you make yours. Too, congrats on the rain!! I live in Little Rock. The rain was a blessing for us as well.
Please make a video showing how to make those stewed potatoes. My mother used to make them and they were so good but I never learned how and I miss my stewed potatoes.
I may be odd, but I love stacking wood. It’s like putting a puzzle together
My precious Daddy loved stewed potatoes.
He called them "soupy taters" and I would love to cook him some tonight.
But, he's been at home since 2009 and I miss him so very much.
I add onions, diced ham, shredded cheese, and a can of cream of chicken soup or if I'm out of C.O.C., I'll add in chicken bouillon .
Thank you for waking up these cherished memories.
I hope you both and your family have a blessed Christmas and a much better new year! Xoxox
☮️💝🙏🏻🇺🇸🇮🇱✝️🙌🏻🎄
Thank you Ms Lori ots so good to see a video from you all. I've missed you both
Merry Christmas to you and Mr Brown sent with lots of love and many hugs. Love you all
Your pork chops look so good. It is hard to find tasty pork in our stores. Some when they are cooking smell like how I remember the pig pen smelling. I think that meat is from very old pigs.
The nice pork only smells like good meat., not piggy.
Wish I could tell the difference just by looking. Maybe you and Mr. Brown know.
Looks great! Thanks for sharing! I would like the stewed potatoes and cornbread recipe, please.
I am a Minnesota gal..
My grandma called the beef fat "suet", she would ask the butcher for it.
She made the best creamed potatoes.
We call it supper. Breakfast, lunch and supper. You have it right Miss Lori.
I don't think the differences in food and the names for the meals of the day are so much to do with different area's of the country, but more to do with financially poor (we've always worked hard but always poor) vs financially wealthy
God provides if we work hard and believe.
Great video.
Such a sweet video, thank you! Y'all stay warm💜
I would love to see your recipe for stewed potatoes. My son and I also live with wood heat but since my husband passed, my son is disabled, and I am 76 and arthritic, I now have to buy the wood. It used to be under a $100 a cord just a few years back but now $300 a cord is considered reasonable and it can go upward to $500 a cord. We have enough wood left to get us to Christmas and right now it's -32 C which is about minus 30 F. We can maintain about 60-65F in the house when it's this cold. A recipe for stewed potatoes would fill our stomachs and keep us warm. May God bless you and your husband abundantly! Merry Christmas.
Always a beautiful spread of delicious foods. You make my mouth drool.
We heat our home with a outside wood burner it also heats our water. Thanks for sharing
We had that last night. Good stuff. Tonight is chili. Christmas is going to be chicken -n- dressing and gravy. Plus I am making mom's stollen. And probably fudge. I am going to try to get he fudge done before the winter storm gets here on Thursday. The Ouachita Mountains always gets snow from storms like this. Not sure how much winter weather you will get in your neck of the woods but batten down the hatches 'cause it's coming. God bless you and keep you safe.
Oh Yes, Ms. Lori ,Please!! I d love to see recipes made!! Looks delicious!!
My family from the hills of Southern Missouri and it's all I know and love.
That is what I grew up eating, my dad was born and raised in Ivy Arkansas, my mother in Louisiana, me here in Washington State. I make cornbread every other week for my mother who is 87 years young. Love your channel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Thanks for sharing your wonderful vlog! Merry Christmas blessings to your family & all on here🤗💕🇨🇦
GREETINGS IM NEW TO YOUR CHANNEL. I LOVE IT. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LIVES. I LIVE IN WESTERN NEW YORK STATE. IM 61 WITH GRANDKIDS. WISHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A BLESSED HOLIDAY SEASON.
Stewed potatoes and cornbread recipes, please. Tastes of my childhood.
I raised my two young children on stewed potatoes , cornbread.,and bacon for supper many nights when my husband was working evening shift as a police officer. Would cook other meat as family meal when he was home on off days. Good memories.
We had fried pork chops tonight with fresh collard greens that I looked and boiled then fried down in bacon and ham grease and homemade gravy!! We always heated with wood growing up!! Sometimes kerosene heater.
When my husband and I married his family used coal and wood to heat their home. My husband and I used wood to heat our home with. My mother in law loaned us her Daddy's two kids wood stove at one point. We used it to not only heat with but I would cook on it. I would help my husband as he would cut wood. I'd work until I worked the heat out of my body. Whew! I've used a wood splitter and split up a huge pile of wood. It wasn't easy. The memories! Goodness! I watch you and Mr Brown working. Uncovers a lot of memories. Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!
My grandma used to make stewed potatoes, would love to see how they are made. Brought back some great memories.
You are such a great cook Mr Lori. Love watching you and Mr.Brown. hope your both doing well. Love you lots. Tara and kendall cox from five islands nova scoita Canada 🇨🇦❤
Thank you for your lovely channel! I'd love to see more recipes and content about cooking on the wood range. We live in a very old home in the country in upstate New York, so much of your content applies to us directly!
Your pig and pond are looking good. That's too bad about the ducks. Yep that looks like a really good, filling supper to me! My mom used to always throw in some applesauce after we ate, and we loved to say pork chops and applesauce, lol! God bless y'all and merry Christmas!☃️🎄💖✝️🎁🎶
Would love to see how you made the stewed potatoes!
That's the meals I grew up on, made for my family and still cook today (age 72) in the Upstate of South Carolina. That kind of cooking goes on all over the South.
Oh my… 😋. I love stewed potatoes and I rarely fix them because my husband doesn’t like them. He doesn’t like potato soup either. I make a cheesy chicken chowder that is like stewed potatoes with shredded chicken, diced carrots and celery . Make a roux for a cheese sauce,add 8 ounces cheddar cheese and pour into your potato pot when the veggies are cooked. Add 1/4-1/2 block of velveeta. This makes my small pressure cooker pot full. I love it … my husband will eat one bowl without fussing. You fix my kind of meals. And my 3rd meal of the day is supper. God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas 🎄. ❤
Merry Christmas and blessing to you and yours in 2023. Thank you!
Love all your videos and thank you for sharing with us all.Merry Christmas God Bless y'all ❣️!!!
Same food I grew up eating and the same I eat today. I don't imagine that no matter what part of the country you are from, north to south or east to west, country folk are pretty much the same. Just the difference of actual location. I'm a bit older than you and Pa Brown, but still the same in beliefs and upbringing. Have a Merry Christmas and God bless you and yours.
That is a fine supper! YUM! The pond is beautiful. Blessings
💕💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕💕 Have a truly blessed Christmas!!! 💕
Would love to see any videos you can make for us. All of the above Especially the Stewed potatoes. Yum~Have a Blessed ,Happy, Healthy 2023
Really enjoy your videos. Takes me back to the time when we used to go to Pocahontas. Not sure I’ll see that country again. Hurts my heart.
Oh I’ve never seen stewed potato before in Australia. I would love to see a recipe for that as our family loves potatoes. It’s winter here and any dish I can let simmer on the wood stove while I do other work is a winner! We eat pretty simple food as for me, that’s a sustainable way of ensuring we eat good home cooked food and don’t opt for take away because cook as come too much of a hassle. I’m really enjoying learning about good southern cooking! Sending thanks and prayers to you all. - Emma xx
Good Evening, Mrs. Lori and Mr. Brown . I was raised up eating . Stewed potatoes and cornbread . Also pork chops and other meats . I still enjoy home cooked meals . That my mother taught me to cook . Whatever you had for lunch . You ate for supper . That's all people knew is the wood stoves . Thank You Mrs. Lori and Mr. Brown . For so much that you taught us . To survive when we have to . Merry Christmas . To Both Of You And Family .🎄🎁
Fun to look back but Mr. Brown will have to admit that log splitter was heaven sent. I love grits with my pork chops. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2023.
