Do you know what I enjoy almost as much as visiting with you? The heartfelt and loving comments that your viewers post. It's wonderful to read such positive and genuinely sincere admiration being sent to another human being. Truly, I love ❤️ it all and I'm so appreciative I found you. You are a priceless work of God's creation. Thank you and God bless.
Well said Susan. I was thinking the same thing, the comments are always positive and uplifting. Some other u tube channels you see nasty comments to others. I don’t understand it, I live by the saying: If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all. 😊 from Jodie in Wollongong, Australia 🇦🇺
This video hit me in the heart. I grew up with a lot of extended family. They did all that you do. Cooking...gardening...flowers...decorating. Everything you did in this video brought back a flood of memories and feelings of my family that have been gone for quite some time now. Im 59. So here i sat...enjoying but with tears running down my face. Then you made me giggle when you plunked that big ol slab of butter on the cornbread. My dear mother loved her butter. So thank you for this one.
Your garden draped in snow is HEAVEN.I also love bare wintry trees.They are also divine at night or late evening in or after rain.The raindrops dripping.And if only people took their time and spoke as slowly and beautifully as you do,we would have peace on earth.
You always do everything to make your guests feel as comfortable and well fed as possible. I swear I can feel the welcoming warmth of your fires. Ahhhhhhh....! Oh, and thank you for the lovely glass of wine. You are a truly an exceptional host. Isn't it the most satisfying feeling?
A fairy-tale-like video..... the snow-white garden.....the chimney....the beautiful house....the elegant and tasteful home.....your charming,calm and friendly presentation....another delicious recepie....I LOVE IT
You have such a lovely romantic home. Your decor is beautiful. A man with great taste. Mr. Fox is so very lucky to have you in his life and he in yours. Your meals are always so delicious and well presented with all the fix'ins. My favourite part of your tablescape is the fresh cut flowers and the beautiful dishware you own. Tea is such an exquisite part of any meal and I always think it tastes so much better served in a pretty China cup. Your lawn and garden area reminds me so much of a Victorian garden with the groomed maze of boxwood, and a gorgeous water fountain center stage . It must be so peaceful to sit there listen to the trickle of water and admire the beautiful flowers and landscape. Just give me a good book and I will see you at dinner :) Thank you for sharing your elegant home and of course your five star menus. All The Best Always.
After a couple of tumultuous and sad days (my dear 19 year old cat Milwaukee almost died, it was a very close call for him) today at the vet we recognized that my old man was coming around! He’s back to his old self, eating, drinking, cuddling and chatting with me and that fills my heart with so much joy. Watching your beautiful new video was exactly what I needed to end today as a happy and relieved day. I’ll try the corn bread for sure! And was it a black cat in your garden? Avery got quite excited, didn’t she! Thank you, dear Kevin, for warming my heart and soul again and again. Just thank you. 🙂❤️
Heavenly winter walk. Former New Yorker who loves living through your video, but not having to manage all the other headaches with snow. Your backyard is magnificent covered in its finery. Knowing that cornbread and vegetable stew is ready and waiting is delectable. What a complete delight.
With the fire going, your hearty soup, cornbread and a glass of claret it looked all cosy and warm in your room. Your garden, however, looks absolutely stunning and beautiful in the snow.
Hello Kevin Lee and beautiful days to you, Mr Fox, Avery, and Binky. Enjoyed this spectacular video and relaxing walk with you and Avery in your snow covered garden. Beauty and serenity from beginning to end.
Your videos have literally saved my life. They are so calming to my soul. I appreciate you so much, Sir Kevin, Thank you for being available to me, through your channel.
Very few gardens are that beautiful in winter. Looks like some great planning went into creating your masterpiece of a garden. Well done. As I'm watching this video, it's a dreary rainy day. You've inspired me to make a hearty soup and biscuits since I have no cornmeal. Great content
What a delightful way to spend an evening winding down😊Thank you for transporting me to a peaceful and inspiring place. You are appreciated so much Kevin, I am so glad I found your channel ❤
OFF SUBJECT: I cut a garlic bulb cross ways. Then slam the halves with a wide knife, cut side down and the cloves drop out. Then I store them covered in Sicilian olive oil in a small jar and press them as needed. The V8 is a brilliant healthy addition!
Can I ask, do they keep ok for some time. On e of the main reasons I use the garlic paste is because there is just me and my husband to cook for, I would prefer to use fresh garlic, but end up throwing so many cloves away Cheers
@@mariedyde448 , press the garlic , add a little salt and stir the paste with some olive oil . You can store it in small jars in the refrigerator during some months or even freeze it .
@@norberttietjen6506 I'm going to do this! I grow garlic every year. I have frozen it or dehydrated it in the past, but this sounds like a much better way to do it.
NUMMY !! You are right about the cornbread not needing to be so sweet. I made the unsweetened cornbread for my father. However, my mother would crumble a piece of cornbread into a glass and then add a little sugar and pour buttermilk over it. That was was her "dessert" and believe me, it is good. It's a southern thing.
Watching this video, I missed a beautiful New York winter day with fresh snow on the ground while cooking a healthy warm stew. If I could give this video two thumbs up, I would! Thank you, Kevin.
What a delightful video!!!! I loved walking in the garden after the snowstorm. Watching you cook and the elegant presentation of the food by the fire make me plain happy. Thank you Kevin and God bless you!
I love gardens in winter, actually I love gardens all the time, but the contrasts in winter are so interesting. The soup looks perfect, thanks for inviting us along!
Kevin I'm so glad that even after your Channel has taken off you've kept your videos content so Elegant and Beautiful! There's just a handful of people that I can describe like that on Social Media. Thanks for sharing! Please continue to be you don't ever change 🥳
SO HAPPY! Listening to (new age) Gregorian Chant music, making a foccacia bread to ferment for the next 48 hours while it snows heavily (6-8”) in Wolcottville, IN on 3-3 2023. KLB! Roast all your veggies first, then make your soup! Mega flavor! Thanks to RUclips feed for sending me my FAVORITE show! Such winter joy! Thank you Kevin & Fam!
We just got hit with a winter storm here, in Ontario! While I,m not wild about the snow, it,s positively magical with your landscape! Cutting veggies for my soup as I,m sending this off! Thank you Kevin, your a very special and TALENTED man!
I love watching your videos...your recipes, household tips, your garden, your home and the nice, easy feeling I get from your authentic and peaceful lifestyle. Bless you!❤❤❤
Kevin, I loved seeing your winter garden. It's gorgeous. I'm very interested in gardening and think you have designed so many interesting spaces. The vegetable stew is perfect for Lent! It looked wonderful as did the cornbread. Thank you for your inspiring content every week!
You are always so warm and inviting Kevin! Thank you so much for all you do and share with us I so look forward to seeing your videos. Stay safe and warm ❤️🥂😉see you next time 👨🍳
What a time I had finding CORNMEAL!!! I looked in all of the major grocery chains and only found white grits. I finally asked my Amish friend who hunted them up for me in her Amish store! They used to reside next to the oatmeal and Cream of Wheat in all of our stores years ago! Now I am all set to make your Skillet Cornbread and Soup!!! I loved your winter tour! Your house and gardens are beautiful in every season!!! 🙂
The snow is so beautiful!!! In our home, soup, especially vegetable, with cornbread or crusty Italian or French bread, is one of our favorite meals. I can clearly imagine how your kitchen smells!!!
I am from Denmark Europe, so I am so thankful you have both measurement’s. Thank you for your thoughtfulness . I enjoy your videos and I am looking forward to them every week. Take good care
I'm glad I happened upon you. I'm on RUclips a lot, but I just found you, and I'm glad. You seem so gentle and kind. Your property is beautiful. The garden is to die for.❤
Hi Kevin Lee this is Fiona Lee from Australia. I love love love your garden how magical it looks and the past has given us a glimpse of its mystery. Love your channel and thank you for being authentically you. God Bless.🦘🙏
I love your floral arrangement on the fireplace. I saw your recipe previously for 🧈 butter bunt cake, and I'm going to make it. Corn bread and stew on a cold winter's day are great.🍽❄️❄️❄️
It has been too long and it feels like coming home - home to decency, truth, kindness, good food and enjoyment in making it and eating it with a good appetite.
What a splendid "mess of pottage"! See Genesis where Esau sells his birthright for the above. Incidentally, this "mess" would most probably have been a lentil stew, still common today in the Middle East. I don't think I would go quite as far as Esau for your lovely winter warmer, but I might be tempted! My "go to" cold weather soup is known to me as School Soup; the recipe was given to me by my oldest and best friend whose daughter brought it home from her school cookery class. It consists of equal weights of onion, carrot, potato, swede turnip (rutabaga) or ordinary white turnip, a few ribs of celery, sweated in oil and/or butter. Water plus or minus vegetable or chicken stock is added - not too salty cube is fine. I tend to add a sweet potato or some butter nut squash with less ordinary potato as well as a leek, and a bouquet garni: thyme, parsley stalks, bay leaf wedged between two bottom ends of celery and tied together in a neat little package can be added as well as some mixed dried herbs. If you want a cream of veg. soup just add some whole milk or single cream (don't know US equivalent of this ?half-and-half). Top with chopped parsley. I usually reserve about half of the diced veg. and blitz the remainder then combine to make a nice mix of smooth and chunky. The snowy garden looks pleasantly. mysterious. Here in UK we have had quite a long period of cold, dry and sunny weather to which we are unaccustomed at this time of year. We are warned that we may have snow next week, equally unusual in March. NB. Ghee gives a very nice buttery kick if used in place of oil.
I enjoyed seeing your winter garden Kevin...it has beautiful bones. You're making the cold and snowy winter warm and cheerful with your welcoming smile and wonderful videos.
What a perfect cold weather meal!! The soup looks so delicious! Thank you, Kevin for inviting us to your beautiful home and including us in this wonderful meal. Sending prayers and love! 🙏❤
Kevin my sweet husband David and I are loving the dark chocolate cashews from Tierra Farm! OMIGOSH if you haven't tried them, treat yourself! Also, your gardens look so pretty in Snow! I love waking up, having a cup of tea or coffee from Tierra Farm and watching your vids! I walk away from your episodes with ideas and creative energy! Thank you for sharing the good stuff!
Hi Kevin, I was born and raised there on the East Coast and I remember the snow days when the schools were closed and very little traffic on the roads. I was observing your counter tops. Mine are similar but I live in Italy and my marble is real, the same marble Michael Angelo used to carve the statue of Davide. My companion of 15 years passed away two weeks ago so I am even more homesick and your videos are very comforting. Grazie.
Your cornbread recipe is Appalachian-approved! I grew up in the southern Appalachian Mountains and our cornbread had very little to no sugar. I have lived in the northern Midwest for two decades and cannot accept the sweetness of the regional cornbread. It is almost like cake. I appreciate your taste in cornbread ingredients!
Another magical meal spent with you Kevin! Your property looks so lovely in it’s winter blanket. What a perfect setting for your delicious menu. Thank you once again! 💖
Hi Kevin! We too here in Ontario Canada received the same winter storm. Your gardens are beautiful with all that winter interest! Thanks for the tour. Let's hope Spring is just around the corner and you give us another tour. Stew looks tasty. I will have to give it a try. Have a fabulous week my friend!
It was so lovely to walk through your gorgeous garden! The soup/stew looks delicious as does the corn bread. Thank you for another great video, Kevin. 🌹💖
Happy Friday Kevin and Mr. Fox, I hope you both stay warm and toasty today. I love the V8 juice idea, I will try it next time. This is one of my fav warm dishes, thank you for sharing. There is almost enough soup to bottle the extra, I have never bottled soup but I would love to learn.
I LOVE that you made authentic cornbread with no flour and little if any sugar. If you have never tried hot water cornbread I imagine you would really like that as well.
Thank you for taking us on a tour outdoors. The scenery is beautiful and so serene. What an excellent hack, using the V8 juice. I will have to remember that. The 🍲 looks divine. I like when you place it on the table and Avery is behind you taking in the aroma..🐶. I have never really cared for cornbread but the buttermilk I'm sure is a lovely addition. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
Have to agree...your smile is as warm and inviting as your soup or "Stoup" as another commenter called it. Trying... Thank you. PS...what I also like is when a little mistake is made, you don't edit it out like other cooking videos. You keep it real and I appreciate that!
Thank you Kevin Lee Jacobs for a wonderful post - I loved most of all the walk in your beautiful garden in the snow. I also particularly loved seeing Madame Avery so keen to get on with things. The vegetable soup recipe looks and sounds absolutely delicious - as does the cornbread. The work I do is rather challenging, so it is always refreshing to take a break to watch one of your inspiring and beautiful videos - I am very grateful to you for creating the videos. Thank you. Kind greetings from Hester Stiller, Cape Town, South Africa
I’m writing from sunny Florida and your video brought back so many memories of snowy days in my past. Your garden is so exquisitely beautiful. Thank you for sharing a walk in your snow gilded garden and your lovely presentation of preparing such a hearty and wholesome meal. I will be trying the soup and cornbread. Even in Florida, we have some cool days!
Love this another fabulous post!! Really neat to see the back of your beautiful, super old home. It almost looks like you have three buildings...and I had no idea you had acreage -- I thought your house was right next to other houses and your garden is huge! How DO you find time to cook and clean as you do! So funny, when you were making the soup, or correct me, stew, I was saying you're going to need a bigger pot and great minds think alike cause you have no hesitations in not only changing the name of the soup mid post but also changing your pan and then admittedly forgetting the garbanzos! Also, neat you used V8 juice and H2o instead of the customary stock. And of course, you cannot forget the cabbage and that is a huge bunch of herbs for sure!. Speaking of cabbage, I need to try to make sauerkraut! WOW I just finished watching and your garden and property are a gorgeous winter wonderland - thanks so much for sharing with us - from Colorado! ps your dog is always by your side approving of the meals!
Your garden tour reminded me so much of growing up in Virginia! Here in Florida, it's been unseasonably warm and the trees and shrubs are budding out. Our last frost date is 10 March - like last year, this is much too early - We're sure to get a late frost. I'm tilling up the garden for Spring, and have started most of my Spring transplants. I see lots of vegetable soup in my future. I make lots of soup and can it up to enjoy all year. So nice that you like Southern corn bread! We love sweet tea and not so sweet cornbread down here in the Deep South. Thank you for sharing your day with us!
The chickpeas give GREAT plant-based protein; a perfect addition. It is so cold in our usual FUN IN THE SUN VILLAGE of Los Angeles. I will make this soup and cornbread today. The snow is down to the foothills and just behind the HOLLYWOOD sign! Shocking for us but certainly beautiful. Big Bear is snowed in and now it is dangerous. Food and medicines can't get in through the narrow mountain roads. I wish I could bring them this soup and cornbread. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOUR VIDEOS is the relaxing and old-world beauty. Your recipes are wonderful and your demeanor is charming. I'm going to add a can of drained and rinsed corn to my cornbread as a little extra. Thank you,
Enjoyed the garden tour with you I think that gardens have there own beauty in winter as well as summer. The soup you made looked wonderful perfect for a cold winter day or night.
Mr. KEVIN, thank you for taking us on a winter snow walk with you and Avery,it was beautiful.We cook our stew soup (aka stoup- ty Issy Ness) the same way which I found interesting. I learned to cook from my German grandparents. Have a lovely weekend. 🙂
What a beautiful place you live in! I wish we got beautiful snow like that where I live. We got zero this winter😏Your pup looks like he enjoys the snow! The meal is spectacular, that cornbread…yum!
Best is you end every sentence with a smile!!!!! not everyone has that charm👍🏻 Nice healthy soup

When we don’t know if it’s a soup or a stew, we call it a a stoup. Keep smiling and stay warm dear Kevin! Love you!
Love that!
😅😅
Your garden draped in snow is HEAVEN.I also love bare wintry trees.They are also divine at night or late evening in or after rain.The raindrops dripping.And if only people took their time and spoke as slowly and beautifully as you do,we would have peace on earth.
How could anyone turn down an afternoon in Kevin’s cozy parlor!!! Thanks for the invitation as always !!!!
The perfect ending to any day - visit with the warm and welcoming Kevin Lee Jacobs! It has been too long.
Kevin I have watched all your videos and keep watching again and again and again you are my best company
A lovely rustic soup, a roaring fire and a beautifully laid table, after a walk with a friend in the snow on a crisp cold day - perfection Kevin.
You always do everything to make your guests feel as comfortable and well fed as possible. I swear I can feel the welcoming warmth of your fires. Ahhhhhhh....!
Oh, and thank you for the lovely glass of wine. You are a truly an exceptional host. Isn't it the most satisfying feeling?
Yes, your garden is a fairy land. Perfect for doggies and their humans ❣️. Your invitation to join you for dinner is always so gracious.

I enjoy all your recipes, cleaning, eating, table settings, and your sweet dog who is photo bombing in a gentle way.
Walking in that snow reminds me of walking in the snow filled landscape during my childhood. Love it.
Dear Kevin, I really enjoyed the walk in the snow. I've lived in southern Florida since 1961. Haven't seen snow for decades. I love skillet cornbread.

Such a beautiful garden! Perfect menu for after the snow storm! Another menu I will be making- yummy!
Your cornbread recipe is Appalachian-approved! I grew up in the southern Appalachian Mountains and our cornbread had very little to no sugar. I have lived in the northern Midwest for two decades and cannot accept the sweetness of the regional cornbread. It is almost like cake. I appreciate your taste in cornbread ingredients!
How simple pleasures make the life beautiful !
That is not a garden - it‘s a PARK ! Mouth watering soup and bread … ✌️
Another magical meal spent with you Kevin! Your property looks so lovely in it’s winter blanket. What a perfect setting for your delicious menu. Thank you once again! 💖
Hi Kevin! We too here in Ontario Canada received the same winter storm. Your gardens are beautiful with all that winter interest! Thanks for the tour. Let's hope Spring is just around the corner and you give us another tour. Stew looks tasty. I will have to give it a try. Have a fabulous week my friend!
It was so lovely to walk through your gorgeous garden! The soup/stew looks delicious as does the corn bread. Thank you for another great video, Kevin. 🌹💖
Another gracious video. The snow transformation was glorious! 💕👍💕
Happy Friday Kevin and Mr. Fox, I hope you both stay warm and toasty today. I love the V8 juice idea, I will try it next time. This is one of my fav warm dishes, thank you for sharing. There is almost enough soup to bottle the extra, I have never bottled soup but I would love to learn.
A very nice way to spend a snowy day indoors
Your winter garden after your snowstorm looks amazing!
I LOVE that you made authentic cornbread with no flour and little if any sugar. If you have never tried hot water cornbread I imagine you would really like that as well.
Thank you for taking us on a tour outdoors. The scenery is beautiful and so serene.
What an excellent hack, using the V8 juice. I will have to remember that. The 🍲 looks divine. I like when you place it on the table and Avery is behind you taking in the aroma..🐶. I have never really cared for cornbread but the buttermilk I'm sure is a lovely addition.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
Have to agree...your smile is as warm and inviting as your soup or "Stoup" as another commenter called it. Trying... Thank you. PS...what I also like is when a little mistake is made, you don't edit it out like other cooking videos. You keep it real and I appreciate that!
Thank you Kevin Lee Jacobs for a wonderful post - I loved most of all the walk in your beautiful garden in the snow. I also particularly loved seeing Madame Avery so keen to get on with things. The vegetable soup recipe looks and sounds absolutely delicious - as does the cornbread. The work I do is rather challenging, so it is always refreshing to take a break to watch one of your inspiring and beautiful videos - I am very grateful to you for creating the videos. Thank you. Kind greetings from Hester Stiller, Cape Town, South Africa
I am so thrilled to see a gluten free cornbread!! Yummy soup, too. Thanks much❤
How lovely! Thank you for the garden tour, what a winter wonderland! Perfect weather for a great soup recipe sitting in front of your beautiful fire!
No matter if Sun kissed or covered in snow your home and garden always appears enchanted!
Stay warm!!
Hello! In some strange way there are the returning pictures of my childhood in your video. Thank you, sir Jacobs!
I’m writing from sunny Florida and your video brought back so many memories of snowy days in my past. Your garden is so exquisitely beautiful. Thank you for sharing a walk in your snow gilded garden and your lovely presentation of preparing such a hearty and wholesome meal. I will be trying the soup and cornbread. Even in Florida, we have some cool days!
23.1.2024..... .it is sowing here in Basel Switzerland!!!!! What a great idea, this soup and cornbread 🙋♀️💕💕thank you hugs Rosa
Love this another fabulous post!! Really neat to see the back of your beautiful, super old home. It almost looks like you have three buildings...and I had no idea you had acreage -- I thought your house was right next to other houses and your garden is huge! How DO you find time to cook and clean as you do! So funny, when you were making the soup, or correct me, stew, I was saying you're going to need a bigger pot and great minds think alike cause you have no hesitations in not only changing the name of the soup mid post but also changing your pan and then admittedly forgetting the garbanzos! Also, neat you used V8 juice and H2o instead of the customary stock. And of course, you cannot forget the cabbage and that is a huge bunch of herbs for sure!. Speaking of cabbage, I need to try to make sauerkraut! WOW I just finished watching and your garden and property are a gorgeous winter wonderland - thanks so much for sharing with us - from Colorado! ps your dog is always by your side approving of the meals!
Your garden tour reminded me so much of growing up in Virginia! Here in Florida, it's been unseasonably warm and the trees and shrubs are budding out. Our last frost date is 10 March - like last year, this is much too early - We're sure to get a late frost. I'm tilling up the garden for Spring, and have started most of my Spring transplants. I see lots of vegetable soup in my future. I make lots of soup and can it up to enjoy all year. So nice that you like Southern corn bread! We love sweet tea and not so sweet cornbread down here in the Deep South. Thank you for sharing your day with us!
Hi Kevin. I must say, you really know how to make a house a home. 🙂
The vegetable soup looks delicious!! My mother made her cornbread in a skillet also. Just wonderful!!
The chickpeas give GREAT plant-based protein; a perfect addition. It is so cold in our usual FUN IN THE SUN VILLAGE of Los Angeles. I will make this soup and cornbread today. The snow is down to the foothills and just behind the HOLLYWOOD sign! Shocking for us but certainly beautiful. Big Bear is snowed in and now it is dangerous. Food and medicines can't get in through the narrow mountain roads. I wish I could bring them this soup and cornbread. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOUR VIDEOS is the relaxing and old-world beauty. Your recipes are wonderful and your demeanor is charming. I'm going to add a can of drained and rinsed corn to my cornbread as a little extra. Thank you,
Enjoyed the garden tour with you I think that gardens have there own beauty in winter as well as summer. The soup you made looked wonderful perfect for a cold winter day or night.
A. good day for stew and cornbread! So comforting! Your gardens look beautiful in the snow!
Mr. KEVIN, thank you for taking us on a winter snow walk with you and Avery,it was beautiful.We cook our stew soup (aka stoup- ty Issy Ness) the same way which I found interesting. I learned to cook from my German grandparents. Have a lovely weekend. 🙂
What a beautiful place you live in! I wish we got beautiful snow like that where I live. We got zero this winter😏Your pup looks like he enjoys the snow! The meal is spectacular, that cornbread…yum!
