We live in Lake Charles LA and we got that hurricane you mentioned. It’s a disaster down here but I’m enjoying your videos as a refreshing break from all the mess that surrounds me. We don’t have electricity or potable water but praise God we have a generator so I was able to charge my iPad, thanks for sharing
I just recently discovered your channel. You are so calming to watch. Even in the craziness of having a large family the way you remind us to step back, remember our creator & to take a deep breath....That it will all be ok. I believe you when you say that to us. ❤️. You are always so cheerful & positive. I work at a Children’s ER trauma center & as you can imagine there are very difficult nights. I choose to not watch television. The news is nothing but hate & negativity. I need positive light hearted things in my life. Your channel is just that. I can loose myself if watching your videos knowing it is all positive. I am only a family of 3 but I grew up in a family of 11. Watching your videos reminds me of home growing up. Thank you for offering us a place of solace here on RUclips. Keep doing what your doing &’your channel will continue to grow. ❤️. Sending love & prayers to you & your family.
I love when the girls join you in the kitchen. We gathered our fragments all week and are literally starting fresh tonight with sloppy joes on toasted buns. You are such an inspiration I always jot down notes as you are cooking for things to try or maybe new to us was to make them. Blessings to you sweet lady and your precious family.
For the tea eggs, you need to make deeper cracks for the tea mixture to seep in. I like to use the back of a spoon. The cracks will be where the eggs turn brown.
You have such beautiful daughters. You give me so much inspiration to keep going everyday. I have a hard with things but you make so easy to make mistakes and it’s okay. God is always here for me. So thank you for your videos and words of encouragement. Have a bless day.
Good Friday morning! Can't believe Summers coming to an end...up here in Ontario Canada the cold weather is just around the corner. Today I'm binge watching a few of your Monday motivation vlogs because I'm deep cleaning my little kitchen and my Farm house sig be and decore are here!! I made a little and ordered a little...so together Amy your videos will be my inspiration today!!! It's crazy rainy here today too so a great time for a few indoor " Welcome Fall" projects!
Hi Amy. So happy to see your girls help you once in awhile. God bless them. Hope the rest of the day went smoothly with their help and you enjoyed. Poor Maxine with the early rain. She is so cute and adorable. Thanks for sharing.
I learned how to make deviled eggs from my father-in-law. He uses mayo and mustard, bacon bits or real bacon, onion, and relish, then he sprinkles little seasoned salt. They are really good. I made them before so yummy.
Tea eggs-tap and roll hard boiled eggs, put them in a strong boiled tea that is spiced, remove from heat and leave in tea on counter for several hours then put eggs and tea in fridge overnight. The more cracks the better and tea should be very strong. Great job girls, I’m saying hi from Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦
How long do tea eggs last? 3 to 4 days Soak the cracked eggs in your sauce base for 24 hours in the refrigerator, making sure all the eggs are completely submerged in the sauce base. After 24 hours, they're ready! You can also soak them longer for a stronger flavor. These eggs last for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator
Good morning Amy! Have wonderful weekend. I am going to give that delicious French toast casserole a try. It looks delicious. Blessings to you and your family.
I put corn in pressure cooker with cup water and some butter, salt and pepper with some garlic. For 12 minutes. Comes out great. You don’t have to put anything but water in it but mine love the spices with it.
We remodeled the kitchen and I put in an extra vent in the floor because I didn't want it to be too hot. The guys thought I was weird but I spend a lot of time cooking and I don't want to be hot....sadly it is really hot in the winter which I don't need either ;)
Good day ladies, A trick I have when doing hotdogs is to slice an onion up and put them in the pan with the hotdogs and the brine juice from the jar. tastes fab!!
Jayden, I just watched Mikey Chen doing tea eggs, he used 6 eggs, and 6 cups of water, 1 cup of soy sauce, 2 tsp salt and 2 tsp sugar, 2 star anise, and half a cinnamon stick. He also used 3 teabags. He cooked the eggs, and cooled them as usual, then tapped them all over with a spoon to crack the shells. Then he put them in a pot with all the above and brought them to the boil and turned them down and simmered them for 20 mins, then turned them off and let them sit for 20 mins. Next he turned them on again and again brought them to the boil and turned them down and then simmered them for 2 hours. Then he cooled them in the pot. He said this was the important part as they dialup more of the taste and colour as they cool. Have fun and let us know how they turned out. Love ya, Dee from NZ
They must pre-boil the egg in normal water, then before adding it to the tea mixture for the second boil they must crack the egg shell slightly. So that the tea mixture can leak into the egg and underneath the shell.
I hardly recognize your old kitchen! Sour cream in eggs? Where has this information been all my life???? I make the baked French toast for the holidays. Halfway through the baking I flip them so that both sides get the buttery brown sugar mixture. Oh so wonderful!
Awesome video with the girls helping out in the kitchen. When I looked at the hotdogs boy did they look like I could have one or two. I’ve been wanting to have them for so long. Now I will! Lol Tee shirts look great n I like them fitting big also. Will check into them.... Love gather your fragments a Friday and see what you create for meals with them. Terrific job! Have a fun day.
Good morning Amy Happy Friday your girls are such great helpers thanks for the new ideas hope you all have a great weekend sending you all lots of love and blessings from Perth Australia 🐨🦘🦘🥰🇦🇺
I maybe be the only one.. But I love rain! Dont love all the problems that comes with it, though. And when Amy says hope you are having a great day.... I do, when your video comes up! Thank you for inspiration, you truly are blessing Amy ❤️❤️❤️
Good evening y'all! Thought I would share.. my mom always called them "angel eggs" because she refused to give the devil credit for anything that good!! I hope y'all have a blessed weekend!
Good morning , got me a tshirt , "my faith moves mountains " Should have made one "my faith moves hurricanes " lol, Have a blessed weekend , great job in the kitchen WOW , y'all were moving around that kitchen . Have a great rest of your day . ❤️🙏🏼✌️stay safe !
love watching you ladies cook! For the tea eggs maybe try poking a few holes right through the eggs with a toothpick so the liquid will absorb right through the egg. Not too many holes though! Or maybe soak them without the shell...?
Good morning. How much fun was it fun to have all your girls together in the kitchen cooking. All the people in the kitchen makes it warm. I have eggs to use as well. I am going to make hard boiled eggs and pumpkin muffins. Fall has officially started here in northeast. The temps won't get any warmer than 70's. I am sure we will have at least one more warm snap, but I wanted it warmer so I could enjoy the pool to do my pt. Oh well. I hope you can still have pool time. Is the bottom layer crusty as well or more soggy? Have a great weekend. See ya tomorrow.
Loved this video here in Israel we make jachnoon and eggs all night on the lowest heat in the oven but maybe you should try our eggs it's a smoky flavor of the egg it's amazing all you have to do is double wrap foil paper onto the egg cover really well and put it in the oven at least 6 to 7 hours before serving and they turn light brown
As a young teacher I lived in Taiwan for 2 years. My house girl, she was an older mother of 4, made tea eggs and they were delicious. I think she shelled the hard-boiled eggs before putting them in the pot with the tea and soy sauce, I vaguely remember raw peanuts and bits of pork. I haven’t thought about those eggs in years. Thanks for bringing them to mind. I’m going to experiment.
I have a havanese dog she is all white but you know this is the first time I have found anything on the havanese they have a t-shirt that says havanese and it's the only one I have ever seen so I will be buying that one for sure and I love the one you are wearing Amy.. Have a great day and God Bless...
Good morning, Amy . Sue here. I have a suggestion for your hard boiled eggs. If you put a lid on the pot and shake it up and down 4 or 5 times before dumping in the ice bath, the shells almost fall off. It works every time.
I turned my head when you faded between the dried fruit mix and the pasta salad and I thought you were pouring salad dressing on the fruit mix! Oh my. Another great gather your fragments!
to make tea eggs 1. Dry ingredients You just need to prepare a few dried ingredients to make the tea egg marinade liquid - black tea bags, cinnamon sticks, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and bay leaves. Then you need to boil all the ingredients with the soy sauce and water to infuse the flavor. Don’t have these ingredients on hand? No worries! Simply use 1/2 teaspoon five spice powder and you’ll make a marinade liquid just as tasty!  2. How to properly crack the eggs You can either gently rotate and knock the eggs on a hard surface, or use the back of a spoon to crack the eggs. Handle the eggs carefully if you make soft boiled eggs. You want the egg shells to crack enough to let the marinade in without breaking the eggs apart.  3. A trick to use the minimal amount of marinating liquid I use a quart bag to marinate the eggs so I can use a minimal amount of marianting liquid to soak the eggs. If you plan to use a container instead of a quart bag, you should double the amount of marinade so you have enough to cover all the eggs. 4. Leftover marinade The tea egg marinating liquid, if stored properly, can be used more than once. If you plan to do so, make sure to use a clean spoon to remove the eggs from the liquid. And you should boil the liquid and let it cool again the next time you use it. I like to batch-cook tea eggs and store them for later. They make a perfect breakfast, noodle topping, and between-meal snack! I hope you enjoy the recipe and happy cooking!

Chinese Tea Eggs (w/ Soft and Hard Boiled Eggs, 茶叶蛋) To make this dish gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. 4.93 from 13 votes Print Pin Rate Course: Side Cuisine: Chinese Keyword: street food Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes Servings: 12 Calories: 72kcal Author: Maggie Zhu Ingredients 12 large eggs Marinade (*Footnote 1) 4 tablespoons light soy sauce (or soy sauce) 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce (or soy sauce) 2 bay leaves 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns 1 star anise 1 small cinnamon stick 2 teaspoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 black tea bags (or 2 tablespoons black tea leaves) 2 1/2 cups water Instructions Mix all the marinade ingredients in a small pot. Cook over medium heat until bringing to a boil. Turn to medium-low heat. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from your stove and let cool completely. Once done, remove and discard the tea bags. To boil the eggs, heat a pot of water (enough to cover all the eggs) over high heat until boiling. Turn to low heat. Carefully place the eggs in the pot using a ladle, to prevent the eggs from cracking. Boil 5 minutes for soft-boiled eggs, 7 minutes for medium eggs, or 10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. While cooking the eggs, prepare an ice bath by combining ice and tap water in a big bowl. Once the eggs are cooked, immediately transfer them to the ice bath to cool for 2 to 3 minutes. If you don’t have ice on hand, simply run cool tap water over the eggs for a couple minutes until they cool down. Gently crack the eggs using the back of a spoon. You want to make sure the egg shells are cracked enough so the marinade will reach the interior, without cracking the eggs apart (especially if you made soft boiled eggs). If you’re in a hurry, you can also peel the eggs and marinate them peeled. The eggs will be ready in 12 hours this way. Transfer the eggs to a quart-size ziplock bag, then carefully pour in the marinade along with the dry ingredients. Marinate overnight for peeled eggs, or 24 hours for cracked “marble” eggs. Peel the eggs and enjoy them cold or at room temperature! You can store the leftover eggs in the marinade for 4 to 5 days in the fridge. The marinade will help with preserving the eggs. Note, the eggs will become more flavorful and saltier over time. Video Notes 1. Note, the recipe uses a quart-size ziplock bag to marinate the eggs, so you won’t need as much marinating liquid.

I was surprised by your use of "dippy eggs". I thought it was just a Pennsylvania Dutch thing. I guess if you have lived among or near the Amish and Mennonite communities, you would have picked up some of their phrases. LOVE dippy eggs.
I love that people from all over the world share different phrases. It's a Michigan thing too and I think that is where Amy and family are from :). I was raised in Mi and we definitely call them dippy eggs!! Dippy eggs or bust!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
From what I have seen on facebook, you need to boil the eggs for 20 min. in the soy mixture then turn off for 20 min. then simmer again for 1 hr. and then with the burner off soak for another hour or over night. They say that when the eggs are cooling, that is when the liquid soaks into the eggs. Never tried it but seem like a lot of work for an egg, lol. Maybe the taste makes up for the time it takes to make them.
Oops yes the raincoat works and as much rain as you all get that would get alot of use out of it hang it up in the mud room you could get her rain boots but they can't feel there feet and they don't like it
Has anyone tried to make the pumpkin chocolate chips muffins (crack muffins in my house we LOVE them) but sub out the pumpkin for bananas? I have 3 bushels of bananas to use up today and feel I may need to try this.
Amy what dishwasher tablets you use. I have had water and it leaves spots on it. I’ve tried adding lemon or lime juice even vinegar to the load it helps a little but still has that fine film. Since you live in mountain thought you might have better one that you use than I do.
Tea eggs look so cool but I've always been afraid to try them and my kids hate eggs. I got the popcorn popper and for some reason mine wants to burn the bottom layer. How long do you pop it and how much oil do you use? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. It might also be that I'm using Amish popcorn that's very small. Also I'm with Brooklyn, boiled hot dogs taste the best.
I just received our air fryer ( ordered though ur page) yesterday, my daughter is going to love it. I almost wanted to keep it and give her my old one. But she will enjoy using and needed all the extras gadgets that coming with it. Thank you for the 40% code, excellent price. What make is your cast iron frying pan please?? Love ur videos 😊
Hi Amy. What do you suggest for a husband who refuses to eat fragments? He'd rather toss them out and have ME cooking meals all the time. I don't toss anything!!
Youve got to boil the eggs first. Then crack them all over as much as you can without taking the shell off. Then heat the water soy sugar spices and tea and slow simmer for 2 hours 😘😘😘😘
holy french toast that looks good! gotta try that! And fried rice is a favorite in our household -- YUM -- we always make a ton and think it's gonna last a while -- NOPE -- we gather it right up in our tummy!

Hi Amy, good morning! 😀. Its gather your fragments day. My favorite. 🙂
What a great cooking day everything looked delicious!! You all did a wonderful job making all that you did. Have a great weekend.
If you put soysauce and brown sugar with the tea and boil them, toen the eggs get that marbled pattern
They did but not long enough
I saw somewhere before can’t remember who it was, use a Bundt pan to cut corn, the cob in the center and the corn falls to the pan. So easy that way.
Loved watching you and your girls cook together
We remodeled the kitchen and I put in an extra vent in the floor because I didn't want it to be too hot. The guys thought I was weird but I spend a lot of time cooking and I don't want to be hot....sadly it is really hot in the winter which I don't need either ;)

I watched that 2 i guess im a little late putting it on here
If u scrape the corn after u cut it it gets all the milk out and its better and great for chicken corn soup

Good morning. How much fun was it fun to have all your girls together in the kitchen cooking. All the people in the kitchen makes it warm. I have eggs to use as well. I am going to make hard boiled eggs and pumpkin muffins. Fall has officially started here in northeast. The temps won't get any warmer than 70's. I am sure we will have at least one more warm snap, but I wanted it warmer so I could enjoy the pool to do my pt. Oh well. I hope you can still have pool time. Is the bottom layer crusty as well or more soggy? Have a great weekend. See ya tomorrow.
Loved this video here in Israel we make jachnoon and eggs all night on the lowest heat in the oven but maybe you should try our eggs it's a smoky flavor of the egg it's amazing all you have to do is double wrap foil paper onto the egg cover really well and put it in the oven at least 6 to 7 hours before serving and they turn light brown
As a young teacher I lived in Taiwan for 2 years. My house girl, she was an older mother of 4, made tea eggs and they were delicious.

You have given me some great meal ideas and for that I thank you
In the Netherlands is it marble egg
Good morning, Amy . Sue here. I have a suggestion for your hard boiled eggs. If you put a lid on the pot and shake it up and down 4 or 5 times before dumping in the ice bath, the shells almost fall off. It works every time.
Amy, can you just husk the corn, cut in half and freeze? Or does it need to be cooked first??
Blanch first ...otherwise it is chewy. And I didn't do cobs because takes up a lot of space
Thanks
You actually “shuck” the corn 🌽. The husks are the green outer layer😁
Yeah Amy I like that shirt
Love your energy and your faith Amy.. please send some my way xx i need it x
Peel egg marinade it overnight in fridge.
I turned my head when you faded between the dried fruit mix and the pasta salad and I thought you were pouring salad dressing on the fruit mix! Oh my.
Another great gather your fragments!
Lol
I got an air fryer for my birthday so I can't wait to use it. I don't blame Maxine for not wanting to go outside either,.
Good morning. I suggest that Jayden and Brooklyn look at Mickey Chen's video to see how he did the tea eggs. Be blessed.
to make tea eggs
1. Dry ingredients
You just need to prepare a few dried ingredients to make the tea egg marinade liquid - black tea bags, cinnamon sticks, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and bay leaves. Then you need to boil all the ingredients with the soy sauce and water to infuse the flavor.
Don’t have these ingredients on hand? No worries! Simply use 1/2 teaspoon five spice powder and you’ll make a marinade liquid just as tasty!

2. How to properly crack the eggs
You can either gently rotate and knock the eggs on a hard surface, or use the back of a spoon to crack the eggs. Handle the eggs carefully if you make soft boiled eggs. You want the egg shells to crack enough to let the marinade in without breaking the eggs apart.

3. A trick to use the minimal amount of marinating liquid
I use a quart bag to marinate the eggs so I can use a minimal amount of marianting liquid to soak the eggs. If you plan to use a container instead of a quart bag, you should double the amount of marinade so you have enough to cover all the eggs.
4. Leftover marinade
The tea egg marinating liquid, if stored properly, can be used more than once. If you plan to do so, make sure to use a clean spoon to remove the eggs from the liquid. And you should boil the liquid and let it cool again the next time you use it.
I like to batch-cook tea eggs and store them for later. They make a perfect breakfast, noodle topping, and between-meal snack!
I hope you enjoy the recipe and happy cooking!

Ingredients
12 large eggs
Marinade (*Footnote 1)
4 tablespoons light soy sauce (or soy sauce)
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce (or soy sauce)
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
1 star anise
1 small cinnamon stick
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 black tea bags (or 2 tablespoons black tea leaves)
2 1/2 cups water
Instructions
Mix all the marinade ingredients in a small pot. Cook over medium heat until bringing to a boil. Turn to medium-low heat. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from your stove and let cool completely. Once done, remove and discard the tea bags.
To boil the eggs, heat a pot of water (enough to cover all the eggs) over high heat until boiling. Turn to low heat. Carefully place the eggs in the pot using a ladle, to prevent the eggs from cracking.
Boil 5 minutes for soft-boiled eggs, 7 minutes for medium eggs, or 10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
While cooking the eggs, prepare an ice bath by combining ice and tap water in a big bowl.
Once the eggs are cooked, immediately transfer them to the ice bath to cool for 2 to 3 minutes. If you don’t have ice on hand, simply run cool tap water over the eggs for a couple minutes until they cool down.
Gently crack the eggs using the back of a spoon. You want to make sure the egg shells are cracked enough so the marinade will reach the interior, without cracking the eggs apart (especially if you made soft boiled eggs). If you’re in a hurry, you can also peel the eggs and marinate them peeled. The eggs will be ready in 12 hours this way.
Transfer the eggs to a quart-size ziplock bag, then carefully pour in the marinade along with the dry ingredients. Marinate overnight for peeled eggs, or 24 hours for cracked “marble” eggs.
Peel the eggs and enjoy them cold or at room temperature!
You can store the leftover eggs in the marinade for 4 to 5 days in the fridge. The marinade will help with preserving the eggs. Note, the eggs will become more flavorful and saltier over time.

Notes
1. Note, the recipe uses a quart-size ziplock bag to marinate the eggs, so you won’t need as much marinating liquid. Double the amount of marinade if you’re planning to marinate the eggs in a container

Sweet family, have a great weekend!!!🥰
Boil the eggs first, then crack the shells, leave in the tea for an hour.
That's what they did, maybe they didn't crack em enough
I love lynette too!! U both are amazing
just love watching you, so inspiring
I was surprised by your use of "dippy eggs". I thought it was just a Pennsylvania Dutch thing. I guess if you have lived among or near the Amish and Mennonite communities, you would have picked up some of their phrases. LOVE dippy eggs.
Sarah Kay the term is very common in Australia too - dippy eggs with soldiers 😊
I love that people from all over the world share different phrases. It's a Michigan thing too and I think that is where Amy and family are from :). I was raised in Mi and we definitely call them dippy eggs!! Dippy eggs or bust!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
From PA now live in NV but will all all them dippy eggs.
In southern IN, I grew up just calling them "fried eggs with runny yallahs" and they weren't used for sandwiches, lol :-)
My great grandmother was indian and she had dippy eggs from West Virginia
Gm Amy TGIF 😆😅🙃🤪😜🤗😉🥳🥳HAVE A BLESS WEEKEND
From what I have seen on facebook, you need to boil the eggs for 20 min. in the soy mixture then turn off for 20 min. then simmer again for 1 hr. and then with the burner off soak for another hour or over night. They say that when the eggs are cooling, that is when the liquid soaks into the eggs. Never tried it but seem like a lot of work for an egg, lol. Maybe the taste makes up for the time it takes to make them.
Happy Friday, everyone. ❤
Oops yes the raincoat works and as much rain as you all get that would get alot of use out of it hang it up in the mud room you could get her rain boots but they can't feel there feet and they don't like it
Get Maxine a doggy raincoat put it on her just to go. outside to pre it works

Has anyone tried to make the pumpkin chocolate chips muffins (crack muffins in my house we LOVE them) but sub out the pumpkin for bananas? I have 3 bushels of bananas to use up today and feel I may need to try this.
The popcorn about half a cup of seeds how much coconut oil and how long do you pop it in that device
One blob 3;20 minutes
@@amymaryon thank u
Never heard of drippy eggs we call them fried eggs, from NC also
I love the sayings but I wish they would come in bigger sizes. Oh I'll look for Christmas ideas.
Same here sister 🥰🥰🥰
Amy what dishwasher tablets you use. I have had water and it leaves spots on it. I’ve tried adding lemon or lime juice even vinegar to the load it helps a little but still has that fine film. Since you live in mountain thought you might have better one that you use than I do.
I use Sam's club tablets ..members mark no issues
amy maryon thank you
Brava ladies👍 If cooking was an Olympic sport, you’d win a gold.
Tea eggs look so cool but I've always been afraid to try them and my kids hate eggs. I got the popcorn popper and for some reason mine wants to burn the bottom layer. How long do you pop it and how much oil do you use? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. It might also be that I'm using Amish popcorn that's very small. Also I'm with Brooklyn, boiled hot dogs taste the best.
Use coconut oil and 3:20
Try your deviled eggs using mayo and crushed corn chips!
I now make my Money Cooking Amy. Dream Job working in a Sports Bar with Great Guys and a V. Nice Owner. About 2 mins from my House.London Ontario

But she will enjoy using and needed all the extras gadgets that coming with it. Thank you for the 40% code, excellent price. What make is your cast iron frying pan please?? Love ur videos 😊
Lodge :). Glad u got it
Hi Amy. What do you suggest for a husband who refuses to eat fragments? He'd rather toss them out and have ME cooking meals all the time. I don't toss anything!!
Creativity:)
Really cute t-shirts!!
Youve got to boil the eggs first. Then crack them all over as much as you can without taking the shell off. Then heat the water soy sugar spices and tea and slow simmer for 2 hours 😘😘😘😘
holy french toast that looks good! gotta try that! And fried rice is a favorite in our household -- YUM -- we always make a ton and think it's gonna last a while -- NOPE -- we gather it right up in our tummy! Have an amazing weekend and thank you for your wonderful and inspiring and REAL videos! Super refreshing! YoMama_Life - Kristie
