    One of the things I truly love about your cooking is that you actually prepare filling amounts of food for your kids/family. I love watching videos like these & am sometimes left wondering how are some people cooking such little amounts of foods (especially proteins) to feed a huge family. Growing kids need to eat! Keep up the great job! ❤

    As always, it's lovely to watch such a beautiful, well-adjusted, *happy* family. Your approach to cooking is so practical and smart. Everyone is always well fed with delicious real foods and you're not a slave to your kitchen. Instead, you're free to do all the things a busy, modern mother needs to do with and for her family.
    You are all just a joy to watch. ❤

    I love your practical, realistic approach! It's so interesting to see how where we live impacts what we eat. I grew up eating a ton of fresh seafood my Grandfather caught in the summer. He would go crabbing with his friends just about every morning during the season, then come home and steam them. I stayed with them in the summer while my parents worked, and my grandmother and I would sit around their table and pick the crabs and sort the meat into piles. Big lumps for crab cakes, small shreds for soup, and anything in between for eating now. She could freeze the crab cakes and soup she made. My husband likes to fish, so once we got married there was often fish in our freezer he caught and filleted.

    I love to make salmon! Here is my super easy recipe: 1 whole salmon from Sam's or Costco. I use a double broiler and grease it so the salmon doesn't stick. If thawed, cook at 425 for 20 minutes and check the salmon. I just drizzle olive oil, lemon pepper, and sliced lemons. It is really good, cuts like butter, and better than any restaurant salmon.
    I do the same with cod for fish tacos. Homemade fresh milled tortillas are the best, as you know! If you want spicier you can use Cajun or other spices.
    I can't wait to try your recipes! They sounds fantastic and I love the easy and preparedness to them!Thank you

      @FromScratchFarmstead  2 дня назад

      Thanks so much and thanks for the video suggestion!! I definitely understand feeling overwhelmed by it at the beginning. We started by finding a farm that did a meat CSA so each month we got a share for 8-10 different cuts of meat. That was so helpful because I didn't have to decide and it forced me to use some new cuts. Not sure if there would be anything like that in your area but it might be worth looking into!

      Here in France people tend to have their main meal at lunch as well. We have our main animal protein at lunch and just vegetable soup, gratin (what you would call casserole), or quiche or a salad for dinner. We also eat later in the evening as you folks over in the US. Dinner is generally at 7pm. I have friends who sit down at 8pm. In the cities, like here in the Paris region , people work to around 6pm, kids go to (primary)school until 4.30pm, secondary can be up to 6pm. So by the time everyone gets home, gets their homework done, dinner is late.

      It's a good question! Potatoes are definitely harder for that than rice. Mashed potatoes are a good one for reheating but roasted or baked potatoes aren't quite as good as when they're fresh. Maybe that's why our kids love dousing them with butter and sour cream :).

    If U can buy white fish that is thick is a good one for fish curry dish but U put the cut fish large squares and put them in last of your curry dish so it doesn't brake up into nothing...
    Or Fresh Salmon cut into across the fish body which is nice fried skin first and is good Omega 3 in the Skin and U can give the kids tails as they don't have bones but do check as U don't want them to choke on bones...
    Smoke Salmon is nice with white sauce and spring onions and cooked pasta with Salt and Pepper very very nice dish...but U need to keep an eye on this dish as it will burn...but delicious big time...
    U should make kids Lemon Delicious Pudding or Impossible Quiche they will love them...Quiche makes it's own base....😂😂❤❤

    I have no problem serving dinner for lunch the next day, making 2 meals at once when I make dinner
    I think it’s cheaper than sandwiches
    It’s not cheaper than lentils & rice tho so if we re having a harder week or month then we eat 2 dinners the same, in a row- with lentils at lunch
    This eliminates freezing meals and having leftovers sit for days
    I will however cook a bunch of hambs, freeze, thaw and reheat. Same for mtballs.
    We have tacos every single week so that’s just a 1 meal dinner. I try rly hard to get a meal out weekly but…

    Hi Joelle! Tried these biscuits and I seem to have messed it up as the inside is still rather.. wet? It looks done, the dough inside looks fluffy but when touched it kind of sticks all together instead of being dry and fluffy, has a wet texture. Just wondering what kind of consistency to expect next time? Maybe I added too much yogurt?

    • @FromScratchFarmstead
      @FromScratchFarmstead  Месяц назад +1

      Hi! I'd say they have a moister texture (maybe a little doughier) than a standard flaky biscuit but I wouldn't say they are wet at all, definitely cooked. Maybe try adding some extra flour or less yogurt based on what you're describing or cook a few minutes longer?? I hope they turn out better next time! :)

    I have twin 3 year olds and would never eat soups, chilli ect. Do you have any picky eaters in your house and how to you deal? It's just the three of us and I hate wasting food or making food for just me and PB&J for them all the time lol

    • @FromScratchFarmstead
      @FromScratchFarmstead  Месяц назад +1

      That's tough! Our kids aren't very picky at all. There are times when something we are having isn't someone's favorite but I just say this is what we are having so you can choose whether you want it or not. More times than not, they'll eventually try it and then end up eating more. I think because they've eating this way their whole life and it's really all they know, that's made it a lot easier. When they help me make the food too, that's really helpful to make them excited about eating it.

      We are grateful that we haven't really had any picky eaters. Different kids have gone through different seasons where they have different preferences but I've just rolled with it. I make what I make and they can choose which parts of it they want to take. Usually those seasons are pretty short and they eat most everything. Thanks for watching!

Our kids are not picky at all though so they enjoy most everything. It's so interesting though because we eat almost exclusively cooked veggies, whenever our kids are offered raw carrots or peppers, they look it me like, "you expect me to eat that??".

      I didn't hear any children screaming. I heard the baby making excited screeching noises AKA crowing which is decidedly different from screaming. The older children occasionally make loud exclamations which are normal and, again, not screaming. They're just normal sounds of children playing.
      Having said that, I actually agree that children should be taught not to scream. Screaming signifies they are in danger or injured and need help. Unfortunately, it's become the norm for many children to actually scream when playing and people no longer rush to see what's wrong. A bit like the boy crying wolf.
      Sometime between when I was a child and when i was around 22, people had stopped teaching this to their children and I have no idea why. We were told unless you were injured or in danger and needed help (we're not talking a skinned knee here), no screaming of any kind! If a child screamed, people flooded out of their homes to help, ready to do battle. And if nothing was wrong, nobody was hurt? Everyone was dragged home for the rest of the day with a talking to.
      Now the children in my neighborhood scream all the time while playing tag or ANY game and I think I'm the only one who still looks to check they're okay.
