When your daughter put her head on your shoulder and said thank you mama, I love you. She knows the labor of love that goes into feeding the family! So sweet! ❤️
It’s hard to imagine a genuinely southern Appalachian home, without the smell of a big pot of green beans or pinto beans cooking wafting through the house. Reminds me of home, and the sound of our screen door slamming on barefoot, summer days. 💯🇺🇸❣️
@@CelebratingAppalachia - Matt’s deadpan commentary on how stuffed has was fixin’ to be with such an iconic summer feast, had me fallin’ out! 😂🤣 “Call an ambulance. It’s about to be tragic…”
That home cooked smell still waffes through the homes in the Ozarks and Ouachitas mountains of Arkansas. It's enough to make a body never leave them there hills.
I married into a family whose roots are from the hollers of Kentucky. Watching your videos brings back memories of Mom (Steve's Mom) teaching me the recipes that Steve loved. She has passed on, and I carry her memories.
This just took me back to my childhood days. Almost had me cryin just sittin here watchin ya'll. Oh, how I wish times were simpler and things weren't so hard. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I could almost smell all those great foods cookin.
I've been a vegetarian since I was 18; I'm 73 now. I love all your vegetable dishes. I'm thinking I might move to Appalachia because its so beautiful there. Your family is such a blessing to the world.
You remind me of my grandmother from West Virginia. I don’t mean that disrespectfully because she would be 86 and your obviously no where near that age but you just remind me so much of her. Thank you for creating your content 💜💪🙏💯
I'm from GA and my Big Mama, Ethel made that cucumber salad every summer for my sister and I. She would add mayo, salt and pepper to hers and it was delicious. Big Mama also called the broth from her greens/beans pot liquor and dinner "supper." ☺ This just warmed my heart with beautiful childhood memories of my sweet Grandmother. 💕
W'e're building, so I've been stuck in town. After two years without a garden, I've never appreciated my gardens the way I do now. I miss the dirt and the seeds, the watching and the waiting, the weeding and the worrying, the picking and the cooking, the eating and the canning, and the sharing. Most of all I miss the satisfaction that came from watching my family gather round a table full of food that came from itsy bitsy, teeny, tiny seeds.
This actually made my stomach growl. Everything looked so good. Made me wish I could reach through the screen and load up a plate for myself. Thanks for posting this!
This summertime meal looks delicious. During this time of year we take every opportunity to enjoy the wonderful vegetables made available. Often, we elect not to have a meat entree with the meal, we just enjoy the home cooking of the fresh garden vegetables. Almost always have a skillet of cornbread or some homemade biscuits. We always keep a large mason jar of cucumber and onion salad in the refrigerator. Eat it with everything. Add a plate of sliced vine ripe tomatoes and your good. Thanks for making me hungry. - Tennessee Smoky
@@CelebratingAppalachia Thank you. I’ve been watching you all day. It’s very calming…right now: soup beans! I’m missing my Granny & PapPap so much. Much love to you and yours.
I don't peel my tomatoes either. I'm in Ontario, Canada, and I love learning about your Appalachian culture. There's nothing like fresh vegetables from the garden, especially nowadays with the soaring grocery prices. Your meal looks delicious! 😋
You make me think that I'm sitting in my momma's or granny's kitchen ! Everybody talking and laughing; my hilarious cousin telling jokes... I can smell your cookin' through the computer screen. Bless you and thank you.
I'm not Southern - live in the Pacific Northwest but I grew up on the same kind of food. Everyone calls it peasant food but it is the best eating you can do.
As always everything looks so delicious. I love how Matt and Katie helped you clean up Reminded me of my child hood growing up with my granny she was the matriarch of my family when she passed my family sadly went there own ways. I love your channel it takes me back . I wish that family values still mattered this is whats wrong with our world today a lot of people have know morel's or family values thank you Tipper.
You are so right about family. I have a daughter who won’t even speak to me and no one knows why. She just says it’s a mental thing. My heart is broken.
My Mom's family was from PA dutch area and grandma always added sugar to her cucumber salad. Same ingredients but when Mom married Dad he liked a little vinegar in most all salads with olive oil. My sister has Mom's old vinegar cruet hanging above her stove. I can still remember Dad sprinkling a little vinegar and olive oil on salads and cooked greens. Such good times! Thanks for the memories.
My mom was also P-Dutch - and an amazing coo. She,, too, fixed cucumbers with vinegar and a pinch of sugar. She made enough for us to eat them right after she fixed them, then the next day when they had "pickled" a little. And, for those of you with P-Dutch genes, how about chicken corn soup? The best.
I slice tomatoes and slice cucumbers on top then chop some onion and sprinkle over. I next sprinkle on some sugar and pour cider vinegar over it. No oil. Everybody loves it! My grandmother and her sister always made it that way.
Now that was an absolutely delicious Appalachian meal! Wow! I especially liked when you were picking spinach from your garden! Goals. Your cooking videos definitely inspire meal ideas, thank you! What an awesome tradition! ✌🏼
My mom makes a cucumber tomato salad very similar to that. Chops them up and makes a dressing with salt, pepper, vinegar, oil, and a bit of sugar. SO good! 🤤
We have a large Mason Jar of this cucumber salad in the refrigerator all summer. Eat it with everything. Keep adding fresh cucumbers and onions. When it’s gone, we start over and make another jar. We always serve fresh sliced tomatoes with it. It’s so good, especially on those hot days of summer. - Tennessee Smoky
We make ours with a little mayonnaise once in awhile too. Cut up the vegetables like she did. You can add lettuce if you want to and add salt, pepper, and a little mayonnaise. That's so good with meals like this. 😉😊
We had fresh beans yesterday, and the pot liquor is my favorite part of that dish. We bought a vacant lot near our home for additional green space and garden area. We put three galvanized gardens on the lot so far. We had to go out of state for a family emergency, and our wonderful neighbor planted the beans for us. We have plenty of beans for everyone! That’s quite a meal you made, Tipper. Looks delicious!
This was wonderful. Best part was your daughter. When you complained about the corn silk and she said, “having a few strings, it builds character”. Almost cried, my sweet father would always tell my sister and I that if we complained about something trifling. I’m so glad I found your channel!
What a Feast!!!! Loved everything on the menu. I totally agree with the corn boiling for only 3 mins. I don't peel my tomatoes either. My biggest take away from this video.... is Katie thanking you for the meal and telling you "I love you"! Made me get emotional. Thank you Tipper for sharing. Touched my heart!
I was missing my dad I lost 1 June 2024. Thank you bringing to mind some of my favorite childhood memories with this meal. You call it appalachian. To me its country southern
My great grandfather was born in a log cabin in Kentucky in 1880. At the age of 16 he ran away from home an ended up in Southern Illinois working the coal mines. My grand parents eloped and my grandfather went to college and law school. His law practice was in the Chicago area. My mom tried to cook like her mom, but she never got things quite right. As a suburban housewife neo hippie; my mom purchased the Fixfire books and as a child I wold read them for hours. I even tought myself hiw to pkay her mountain dulciner. Although i am generations away from my Kentucky heritage, my geandmothrrs cooking and the way she managed her kutchen looked liked things in your videos. My great gtandfather passed un 1977, my grandmother passed in 1998, and my mom passed in 2008. Your recipe and cooking videos keep happy nemories fresh in my mind's eye.
You just kill me. I haven't had a meal like this in over 10 years now. I love watching your stories but I can only watch so much because I end up crying so much I can't see. I love ❤️ that you do this. I miss my mom and granny. I'm afraid I will not make it back there before everyone has gone on. I really do love you 😍 thank you 😊
My grandmother used to make peaches with dumplings in the summertime. I had NEVER seen anyone else cook dumplings with fruit until now. I used to wonder what made her cook dumplings with peaches! I thought she made up the whole thing. lol. She migrated north after she married and had a family of her own, but grandma brought all of her southern sensibilities with her. We would eat a lot of the foods Tipper cooks. This brought back so many great memories of my grandmother and my childhood 😊❤
Your food looks so delicious, my family never peeled tomatoes either unless we were making a sauce. I don't peel my carrots and potatoes all the time either. You have such a beautiful loving family.
My goodness! What a spread! This makes me want to find a farmers' market! Our summer treat was cucumbers and onions soaking in vinegar, water and salt and pepper. I think you have to be in Southeast Ohio to nderstnad that one.
@@rachelaclarethompson Hi Rachel! I moved out of Ohio in 1984 but those roots grow deep! That's why we love celebrate Appalachia so much. She even cooks with the same pans I have!
In our 1950's Mexican kitchen here in Southern California, my dear Mother, who had 11 children, made this cucumber and tomato salad. We kids did not care for salad greens, but loved other veggies, so this was a favorite. Sometimes she would add avocado from our backyard trees or sliced white onions and a wee bit of rice vinegar, which Daddy loved. A great salad to pack for trips to the beach.
My Mom always cooked from scratch with southern love thrown in too. This brought back memories of summer garden and good food. ❤️❤️ Love y’all’s channel.
My mama always added a little vinegar and sugar to her green beans, so do I. Smells so good cooking too,try it! We cook our beans down, all liquid gone. Mama always had a jar of cucumbers and onions with vinegar she had made on the table from the garden.
I cook the liquid gone in my green beans. I was also blessed to have Eppie Hallman as a mother-in-law. She taught me that even store bought green beans can taste home cooked if you drain and rinse them then add a tad of sugar with the salt, fat and water…still cooking almost dry of course. She was from the piedmont region of SC, but an amazing cook and wonderful woman.
Tipper, my mom showed me a shortcut to making meatloaf like yours. If you pour the tomato sauce on the slice of bread, it makes it almost melt. Then the bread stirs in nicely to the mixture. I’ve done it that way ever since. Your meal looks delicious. Thank you for sharing.
Sitting here again watching yr wonderful vids eating my super, cheese on toast with Worcestershire sauce and a cup of tea..(uk) I enjoy my food more when I watch you cook. Even though I've never eaten Appalachian food lol it always makes me hungry. Different country and culture but you still remind me of my own mother and granny, the love for looking after yr family is just like my own mother. Feels like home, great work tipper 😊❤🤤
You are such a good mother and Matt's awesome, and Katie is too. And of course, Corie and Austin are cool too! Thanks for sharing your lives with us in these videos.
I grew up and know how to make these meals and there ain't nothing better in this world. What sucks is, I now have back problems and suffer from Peripheral neuropathy which is paralyzing my feet legs and hands. I am a great cook and worked in many different cultured restaurants, but after 35 yrs in construction and getting hurt, I can no longer stand up long enough to cook. I love you channel and can almost taste the food you cook.😋
@@CelebratingAppalachia Thank you so much for the reply. I only hope one day I can move back to a hollar close to some good folks like you, wbere we can talk and share some good times n bad, all the while sharing a great meal together. Keep them videos coming cause it makes me ( personally ) Feel like I'm back home with granny n papa again. Ps. I'm probably older than you are, at close to being 55, but the food and way of life makes me wish I was a kid again. Keep in mind, I'm California born n raised, but my family and way I was brought up, are FAR from from what some folks think of us all. Personally, I wouldn't trade a million dollars for the life you have, and pray everyday!! I can sometime soon get the money to go back and live the same way. Which btw, is what life ( real life ) Is all about. God bless to you and yours.
Fried okry....Divine! My dad had a highly productive garden. I remember is so well, and how I miss those times. Collards, mustard greens, turnips and greens, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, onions, beets, spinach, Brussels sprouts, eggplant, cabbage...mercy me!
I have always made meatloaf like my Mama did. We put chopped onion and I like to put quite a bit of either minced garlic or garlic powder, a beaten egg, salt and pepper, plus I use ketchup in the meat as well as on top after it is cooked. I also use crushed saltine crackers instead of bread or oats in the meat mixture. BUT what really makes it super moist is adding some evaporated milk! You'll have to try that sometime 😊 Nancy from Arkansas
I grew up in Illinois with a dad from Farmville, Virginia. We had a garden the size of a football field it seemed and had lots of veggies to eat. My mom canned everything she could so we would have things to eat all winter long. Dad and I hunted squirrels, rabbits, pheasants, quail and deer. If you could eat it we shot it. That was some of the best eating you can ever imagine. My dad passed away in 2013 but, I still carry on the tradition by eating off the land.
A meal fit for a king! I cut my corn off the cob nowadays also, and I never peel the tomatoes. I love watching you make a meal as it brings memories of my momma's cooking & I can almost taste it. Those blackberry dumplings looked wonderful. Tell Katie how sweet she is to do the dishes.
I live in Ky, but my Mom cooked like you do. I carry on cooking like she did and I'm passing it on. She would put the salad in the refrigerator overnight and eat it the next day. The cornbread is for sopping green bean juice.
Or pinto bean juice or mustard/collard/turnip green pot liquor or beef stew/chili sauce, and if you didn’t have any of that a breakfast or bedtime snack of cornbread and milk (or buttermilk like my Mamaw)
I love how your family eats together. My family still does this, and while people think it's strange, I think it's still important. I love your videos, it's like visiting family.
Everything looked so good. Iv e never had spinach cooked like that but it looked good too. I flour my okra instead of cornmeal. Thanks for sharing your garden goodies.
My Memaw made cucumber salad your way… and also eliminating the vinegar. And using mayonnaise and some sugar. Both are delicious!! Tipper everything looked so good. As we say”You went all out” Looked like a Sunday dinner!!
@@CelebratingAppalachia I love okra so much that I am of the mindset of "why wouldn't you leave the ends of the okra"? This meal was an absolute heck of a feast! Most everything looked so good. I'm not the biggest fan of spinach, but perhaps if I try the Malabar sometime I might find I like that variety. How do from New Bern. Y'all take care. I loved how Katie was so sweet to you and helped clean the kitchen with Matt. It looks like they caught you a nice mess of fish for supper, you lucky lady you.
I never even heard of okra until I moved from SW VA to NE TN after the Flood of ‘78. I was the nerdy kid that traded things from my lunch tray to get the okra everybody else rejected. Lol. I soaked okra in buttermilk last night, dredged in cornmeal with salt and pepper, fried it up, and served it up to my family last night. It’s a good thing I taste tested for quality control, because I wouldn’t have gotten any otherwise. It’s amazing how much growing country boys can eat!
You made my kind of eating for a perfect supper! Boy, it made me so hungry watching the video. It reminds me of my Mama’s cooking & our house always smelled so delicious around supper time. I think the smell of wonderful home cooking is the most homey & cozy smell in the world. It endured me to mine Mom even more & I remember the great food she cooked for her family & I wish we would have thanked her more often.
Wonderful country cooking. I noticed you have a different stove now. It’s so nice to see everyone working together to clean up the kitchen after you cooked such a tasty meal.
I'm really enjoying your channel, as an English person the food is very 'exotic' to me and I'm fascinated by it all! 😃 I would love to be able to grow veggies, but I live in a city and only have a tiny backyard. My great-aunt and uncle used to have their own veggie garden and lived in a cottage in the country, I used to have holidays with them back when I was at school in the 1980's! My auntie was such a good cook and all the veg was from my uncle's garden - I really miss that. Seeing your beautiful home and family reminds me of those happy times in my childhood and how good the food was! I tried your Apalacian breakfast a while ago, some things you cook with (like the types of bacon) we don't have here in the UK, but I managed to cook most of it in the end and it was very nice, the biscuits turned out extremely well - so your recipe is exellent! Of course you probably know - in England a 'biscuit' is what you call a 'cookie' in the US, the American biscuit is more like an English scone! I've visited the US twice, but not your neck of the woods, it does sound so idyllic! 🙂
You're so right, it's very hard not to go crazy with adding more scrumptious dishes to a lovely supper when there's such abundance! This reminds me of one Sunday when I still lived at home with my folks when my Mama had planned a roast chicken supper with corn on the cob, a salad, and pie. Somehow it turned into that, plus green beans with ham hock, biscuits, pinto beans, mashed potatoes, and two different kinds of pie. Fortunately my brothers and their families were over visiting and helped eat it up. For me it's one of my loveliest cooking memories with my Mama.
I haven't heard case knife in ages. That's what we always called a butter knife growing up. This brought back a lot of memories. Greetings from East Tennessee.
Totally reminded me of some of the stuff that my mother made. And it is that time of year that you want to cook everything from the garden. It all looked so good!
That was my supper tonight minus the blackberry dumplings and salmon cakes instead of meatloaf. Man I miss mawmaws blackberry dumplings, greatest of memories. God Bless y'all.
My Grandparents had a sustainable homestead and grew all their vegetables and sold potatoes and eggs...Grandma always had sliced tomato and cucumber on the table at meal time during the summer and I still like to do this even during the winter...I always enjoy them with boiled new potatoes...Your style of cooking and meals are very similar to my Grandma...I'm from Ontario Canada so okra and cornbread were not staples but most of your other foods were...Meals were always a treat at my Grandparents...Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection...I remember Grandma going out to the chicken coop and killing a chicken for supper and she at one time used to cook on the wood stove in the heat of summer...You bring back good memories for me...Thank you for sharing all that you do.
Thank you for the video. The food looks amazing and delicious. I usually fry my okra the same as you do. Sometimes I do a deep fry depending on company. A very long time ago, I was on my way to go camping at the OBX, and I stopped by the corn fields and got some silver queen corn from a farmer's stand. When I got to the campground, I found that I didn't have a big pot to boil the corn in. I then remembered how my Mom used to cut the fresh corn off and pan fry it in some butter and bacon grease. And after that time, I've been doing my corn that way ever since. Your sweet family is so full of good humor and kindness. You all are truly blessed to have one another. LOL! If you'd invite me for supper, I'd not only do the dishes, but I'd sweep and mop the floor AND wash 'n dry 'n fold a load of laundry for you.😄 Thank you again for the video and for sharing your wonderful home with others. Take care and blessings to you all. 🙏🏻😊💖
I love the summer salad (I also have the Rada tomato knife and wisk..... and several other Rada items..lol, cause they're terrific) they're are many versions of the salad here in my neck of the Appalachians too, my favorite two are 1. After you've chopped the three vegetables, add a spoon full of miracle whip (not mayo) and salt and pepper, stir and fold in till everything is coated and chill in the fridge for at least an hour (you don't want to add a large amount of MW, go light on it and you can always add more if you need to) it is scrumptious! 2. After the veggies are chopped or cut up, add equal parts of vinegar and water to coat everything (you could add a small amount of sugar if you wanted, I don't) salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate to chill and marinade. P.S. that whole meal looks soooo delicious....I wish we were neighbors, like a few houses down, instead of a few states away...bahahaha
I swear I am going to have to stop watching you cook. I love everything you cook. I am suppose to lose some weight,my sugar was up when I went to the Dr. I could eat this dinner here at 5 in the morning. God bless this awesome family, I love you guys.
Oh my that all looks so good my mouth is watering. I can make a meal on fried okra, corn on the cob and sliced tomatoes. Unfortunately out here in Pa. I can’t find okra anywhere. I will keep looking and next year I may have to plant a couple just so I can have at least one mess. Love the way the whole family cleans the kitchen! ❤️
What a wonderful feast! Seeing your family express their appreciation for your efforts was lovely! We had our first sweet corn of the season on the grill tonight and it was so delicious! Love summer's bounty!
I'm gonna put a solid 9.5 on the drool factor for this one. I've wised up and had a snack before watching too. Everything looked so yummy. I like shredded carrots in the meatloaf and I add oatmeal or crumbled crackers. I know Matt probably passed out directly. Thanks for sharing and y'all stay safe.
We had meatloaf, stuffed peppers, okra, maters and cornbread for supper tonight. Watching your video, I'm hungry all over again. My children are all grown and gone now. That was sweet how your daughter told you she loved you.
Looks soooo delicious. You were cooking up a storm! Leftovers of all this would be great. Do you have a recipe for the dumplings cooked on stove like you did? Yummy. Your canned green beans look so pretty! Thanks Tipper.
My people are the Howard’s from Eastern Kentucky, and you are the spitting image of my grandmother when she was a younger woman. I miss her so much. I love your channel, it’s like watching my Mamaw cook again. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love your recipes Mrs Tipper, I love summer garden meals too along with my annual thanksgiving feast are my favorite meals to cook and eat! This really looked like a summertime thanksgiving feast!
All your summertime vegetables look so good ! I tried your cornbread recipe and it came out great. Growing up in New England we didn't eat cornbread (my family didn't ). One type of bread we did eat a lot of was rye bread. My Dad would buy the rye bread from a Lithuanian bakery where the bread was baked in brick ovens. We also had white bread which was either Wonder or Sunbeam. I saw your video on light bread. I told my husband how you sprinkled sugar on white bread too like he did as a kid. . He grew up in Florida. I now live in Florida and have been introduced to Southern cooking . I've also tried your Cabbage Patch soup and it was delicious. Thanks for sharing your Appalachian recipes . I need to try your dessert dumplings !
Yeah here in Australia 🇦🇺 we eat the skin on the Tommy's bar if we are making sauce. Them Dumplings, my late wife made Golden syrup dumplings but she would tell me the weather wasn't right at the moment to make them. Now I don't know if she was pulling me leg but when she did make them they would be the best. Ps that sauce on your meatloaf if you add honey and garlic and pant it on a porkchop it comes out pretty good 👍 I remember my wife use to do that . Great video young lady 👏 👍
Absolutely love you and your daughter's channel haven't been on here in a while been out rodeoing was up in Canada now I'm in Salinas California you guys are so blessed you have two beautiful daughters God bless you guys keep up the good work Katie is absolutely adorable
We love that salad. Momma used Italian dressing sometimes and I have other family that uses Ranch dressing. I usually just use salt and pepper to taste. It's a wonderful Summer salad and so easy to make.
Your cooking always gets my tummy growling and my mouth watering, your family is so blessed to have you in so many ways! I’d be so proud if I ever learnt we are related some how, I love all y’all

My Mom's family was from PA dutch area and grandma always added sugar to her cucumber salad. Same ingredients but when Mom married Dad he liked a little vinegar in most all salads with olive oil. My sister has Mom's old vinegar cruet hanging above her stove. I can still remember Dad sprinkling a little vinegar and olive oil on salads and cooked greens. Such good times! Thanks for the memories.
Love those memories 😀
Oh mine too!!! Both sides came from PA Dutch roots !
My mom was also P-Dutch - and an amazing coo. She,, too, fixed cucumbers with vinegar and a pinch of sugar. She made enough for us to eat them right after she fixed them, then the next day when they had "pickled" a little. And, for those of you with P-Dutch genes, how about chicken corn soup? The best.
I slice tomatoes and slice cucumbers on top then chop some onion and sprinkle over. I next sprinkle on some sugar and pour cider vinegar over it. No oil. Everybody loves it! My grandmother and her sister always made it that way.
Now that was an absolutely delicious Appalachian meal! Wow! I especially liked when you were picking spinach from your garden! Goals. Your cooking videos definitely inspire meal ideas, thank you! What an awesome tradition! ✌🏼
My mom makes a cucumber tomato salad very similar to that. Chops them up and makes a dressing with salt, pepper, vinegar, oil, and a bit of sugar. SO good! 🤤
Sounds great!
I've got this salad in my fridge right now!!
@@pamelacrowell2007 me too
We have a large Mason Jar of this cucumber salad in the refrigerator all summer. Eat it with everything. Keep adding fresh cucumbers and onions. When it’s gone, we start over and make another jar. We always serve fresh sliced tomatoes with it. It’s so good, especially on those hot days of summer. - Tennessee Smoky
We make ours with a little mayonnaise once in awhile too. Cut up the vegetables like she did. You can add lettuce if you want to and add salt, pepper, and a little mayonnaise. That's so good with meals like this. 😉😊
We had fresh beans yesterday, and the pot liquor is my favorite part of that dish. We bought a vacant lot near our home for additional green space and garden area. We put three galvanized gardens on the lot so far. We had to go out of state for a family emergency, and our wonderful neighbor planted the beans for us. We have plenty of beans for everyone! That’s quite a meal you made, Tipper. Looks delicious!
Tipper, everything looked so delicious! I loved seeing how much Matt was enjoying his supper. Your videos are wonderful.
This was wonderful. Best part was your daughter. When you complained about the corn silk and she said, “having a few strings, it builds character”. Almost cried, my sweet father would always tell my sister and I that if we complained about something trifling. I’m so glad I found your channel!
😊 thank you
What a Feast!!!! Loved everything on the menu. I totally agree with the corn boiling for only 3 mins. I don't peel my tomatoes either.
My biggest take away from this video.... is Katie thanking you for the meal and telling you "I love you"! Made me get emotional.
Thank you Tipper for sharing. Touched my heart!
I was missing my dad I lost 1 June 2024. Thank you bringing to mind some of my favorite childhood memories with this meal. You call it appalachian. To me its country southern
I’m so sorry you lost him.
That looks so delicious! You can't get food like that at a drive through and you make it look so easy.
My great grandfather was born in a log cabin in Kentucky in 1880. At the age of 16 he ran away from home an ended up in Southern Illinois working the coal mines. My grand parents eloped and my grandfather went to college and law school. His law practice was in the Chicago area. My mom tried to cook like her mom, but she never got things quite right. As a suburban housewife neo hippie; my mom purchased the Fixfire books and as a child I wold read them for hours. I even tought myself hiw to pkay her mountain dulciner. Although i am generations away from my Kentucky heritage, my geandmothrrs cooking and the way she managed her kutchen looked liked things in your videos. My great gtandfather passed un 1977, my grandmother passed in 1998, and my mom passed in 2008. Your recipe and cooking videos keep happy nemories fresh in my mind's eye.
Thank you for sharing!
It all looked absolutely delicious. The blackberry dumplings brought memories of my Mother's blackberry cobbler. Thanks for having us for supper.
You just kill me. I haven't had a meal like this in over 10 years now. I love watching your stories but I can only watch so much because I end up crying so much I can't see. I love ❤️ that you do this. I miss my mom and granny. I'm afraid I will not make it back there before everyone has gone on. I really do love you 😍 thank you 😊
OH my goodness! My mouth was watering, everything looked so good! 🥰
Thank you 😋
My grandmother used to make peaches with dumplings in the summertime. I had NEVER seen anyone else cook dumplings with fruit until now. I used to wonder what made her cook dumplings with peaches! I thought she made up the whole thing. lol. She migrated north after she married and had a family of her own, but grandma brought all of her southern sensibilities with her. We would eat a lot of the foods Tipper cooks.
This brought back so many great memories of my grandmother and my childhood 😊❤
Your food looks so delicious, my family never peeled tomatoes either unless we were making a sauce. I don't peel my carrots and potatoes all the time either. You have such a beautiful loving family.
Thank you 😀
Country cooking is just the best, and every country has there own style of country cooking!
My goodness! What a spread! This makes me want to find a farmers' market! Our summer treat was cucumbers and onions soaking in vinegar, water and salt and pepper. I think you have to be in Southeast Ohio to nderstnad that one.
LOVE cucumbers and onions in water, vinegar, salt and pepper! NE TN by way of SW VA.
love my cucumbers in vinegar! I'm in se ohio too, in Lawrence County. howdy neighbor!
@@rachelaclarethompson Hi Rachel! I moved out of Ohio in 1984 but those roots grow deep! That's why we love celebrate Appalachia so much. She even cooks with the same pans I have!
In our 1950's Mexican kitchen here in Southern California, my dear Mother, who had 11 children, made this cucumber and tomato salad. We kids did not care for salad greens, but loved other veggies, so this was a favorite. Sometimes she would add avocado from our backyard trees or sliced white onions and a wee bit of rice vinegar, which Daddy loved. A great salad to pack for trips to the beach.
My Mom always cooked from scratch with southern love thrown in too. This brought back memories of summer garden and good food. ❤️❤️ Love y’all’s channel.
Your husband is so cute, kind, and funny! What a blessing.
My mama always added a little vinegar and sugar to her green beans, so do I. Smells so good cooking too,try it! We cook our beans down, all liquid gone. Mama always had a jar of cucumbers and onions with vinegar she had made on the table from the garden.
I bet her cooking was just wonderful 😀
I cook the liquid gone in my green beans. I was also blessed to have Eppie Hallman as a mother-in-law. She taught me that even store bought green beans can taste home cooked if you drain and rinse them then add a tad of sugar with the salt, fat and water…still cooking almost dry of course. She was from the piedmont region of SC, but an amazing cook and wonderful woman.
THIS is a plate full of childhood memories for me! So many meals that looked just like this around my granny's table.
Tipper, my mom showed me a shortcut to making meatloaf like yours. If you pour the tomato sauce on the slice of bread, it makes it almost melt. Then the bread stirs in nicely to the mixture. I’ve done it that way ever since. Your meal looks delicious. Thank you for sharing.
Good tip!
Sitting here again watching yr wonderful vids eating my super, cheese on toast with Worcestershire sauce and a cup of tea..(uk) I enjoy my food more when I watch you cook. Even though I've never eaten Appalachian food lol it always makes me hungry. Different country and culture but you still remind me of my own mother and granny, the love for looking after yr family is just like my own mother. Feels like home, great work tipper 😊❤🤤
Meatloaf sandwich on lite bread sounds delicious now! ❤️
We love them 😀
You are such a good mother and Matt's awesome, and Katie is too. And of course, Corie and Austin are cool too! Thanks for sharing your lives with us in these videos.
Thank you so much!
I am absolutely swooning here! EVERYTHING looks wonderful. My Dad called corn on the cob “roastin’ ears” too. ❤️
I grew up and know how to make these meals and there ain't nothing better in this world.
What sucks is, I now have back problems and suffer from Peripheral neuropathy which is paralyzing my feet legs and hands. I am a great cook and worked in many different cultured restaurants, but after 35 yrs in construction and getting hurt, I can no longer stand up long enough to cook.
I love you channel and can almost taste the food you cook.😋
I'm sorry you're suffering with that!! Glad you enjoy our videos 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia Thank you so much for the reply. I only hope one day I can move back to a hollar close to some good folks like you, wbere we can talk and share some good times n bad, all the while sharing a great meal together. Keep them videos coming cause it makes me ( personally ) Feel like I'm back home with granny n papa again.
Ps. I'm probably older than you are, at close to being 55, but the food and way of life makes me wish I was a kid again. Keep in mind, I'm California born n raised, but my family and way I was brought up, are FAR from from what some folks think of us all. Personally, I wouldn't trade a million dollars for the life you have, and pray everyday!! I can sometime soon get the money to go back and live the same way. Which btw, is what life ( real life ) Is all about.
God bless to you and yours.
Have absolutely fallen in love with this channel. Such great content, and good people. Much love from Gaston County
Much appreciated! Thank you 😀
Fried okry....Divine! My dad had a highly productive garden. I remember is so well, and how I miss those times. Collards, mustard greens, turnips and greens, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, onions, beets, spinach, Brussels sprouts, eggplant, cabbage...mercy me!
Summertime Thanksgiving on the plate and Christmas for the tastebuds! Wow. Also like the team work for clean up, “many hands make light work”🌻💛🌻
Thank you 😀
I have always made meatloaf like my Mama did. We put chopped onion and I like to put quite a bit of either minced garlic or garlic powder, a beaten egg, salt and pepper, plus I use ketchup in the meat as well as on top after it is cooked. I also use crushed saltine crackers instead of bread or oats in the meat mixture. BUT what really makes it super moist is adding some evaporated milk! You'll have to try that sometime 😊 Nancy from Arkansas
I did enjoy that. It would be great to see more of Matt's campfire cooking.
Thank you Roger! I'll try to get him to do some 😀
I grew up in Illinois with a dad from Farmville, Virginia. We had a garden the size of a football field it seemed and had lots of veggies to eat. My mom canned everything she could so we would have things to eat all winter long. Dad and I hunted squirrels, rabbits, pheasants, quail and deer. If you could eat it we shot it. That was some of the best eating you can ever imagine. My dad passed away in 2013 but, I still carry on the tradition by eating off the land.
A meal fit for a king! I cut my corn off the cob nowadays also, and I never peel the tomatoes. I love watching you make a meal as it brings memories of my momma's cooking & I can almost taste it. Those blackberry dumplings looked wonderful. Tell Katie how sweet she is to do the dishes.
Brings back alot of memories family reunions and all the good food .. thank you for keeping Appalachia alive
I live in Ky, but my Mom cooked like you do. I carry on cooking like she did and I'm passing it on. She would put the salad in the refrigerator overnight and eat it the next day. The cornbread is for sopping green bean juice.
Or pinto bean juice or mustard/collard/turnip green pot liquor or beef stew/chili sauce, and if you didn’t have any of that a breakfast or bedtime snack of cornbread and milk (or buttermilk like my Mamaw)
I love how your family eats together. My family still does this, and while people think it's strange, I think it's still important. I love your videos, it's like visiting family.
Everything looked so good. Iv e never had spinach cooked like that but it looked good too. I flour my okra instead of cornmeal. Thanks for sharing your garden goodies.
That's makes me so hungry. It looks delicious.
My Memaw made cucumber salad your way… and also eliminating the vinegar. And using mayonnaise and some sugar. Both are delicious!!
Tipper everything looked so good. As we say”You went all out” Looked like a Sunday dinner!!
Thank you 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia I love okra so much that I am of the mindset of "why wouldn't you leave the ends of the okra"? This meal was an absolute heck of a feast! Most everything looked so good. I'm not the biggest fan of spinach, but perhaps if I try the Malabar sometime I might find I like that variety. How do from New Bern. Y'all take care. I loved how Katie was so sweet to you and helped clean the kitchen with Matt. It looks like they caught you a nice mess of fish for supper, you lucky lady you.
I never even heard of okra until I moved from SW VA to NE TN after the Flood of ‘78. I was the nerdy kid that traded things from my lunch tray to get the okra everybody else rejected. Lol. I soaked okra in buttermilk last night, dredged in cornmeal with salt and pepper, fried it up, and served it up to my family last night. It’s a good thing I taste tested for quality control, because I wouldn’t have gotten any otherwise. It’s amazing how much growing country boys can eat!
You made my kind of eating for a perfect supper! Boy, it made me so hungry watching the video. It reminds me of my Mama’s cooking & our house always smelled so delicious around supper time. I think the smell of wonderful home cooking is the most homey & cozy smell in the world. It endured me to mine Mom even more & I remember the great food she cooked for her family & I wish we would have thanked her more often.
This is how I was raised. 🥰 I carry the tradition as best as I can.
Wonderful country cooking. I noticed you have a different stove now. It’s so nice to see everyone working together to clean up the kitchen after you cooked such a tasty meal.
I'm really enjoying your channel, as an English person the food is very 'exotic' to me and I'm fascinated by it all! 😃 I would love to be able to grow veggies, but I live in a city and only have a tiny backyard. My great-aunt and uncle used to have their own veggie garden and lived in a cottage in the country, I used to have holidays with them back when I was at school in the 1980's! My auntie was such a good cook and all the veg was from my uncle's garden - I really miss that. Seeing your beautiful home and family reminds me of those happy times in my childhood and how good the food was! I tried your Apalacian breakfast a while ago, some things you cook with (like the types of bacon) we don't have here in the UK, but I managed to cook most of it in the end and it was very nice, the biscuits turned out extremely well - so your recipe is exellent! Of course you probably know - in England a 'biscuit' is what you call a 'cookie' in the US, the American biscuit is more like an English scone! I've visited the US twice, but not your neck of the woods, it does sound so idyllic! 🙂
Thank you-so glad you're enjoying our channel! And so glad you like our biscuits 😀
You're so right, it's very hard not to go crazy with adding more scrumptious dishes to a lovely supper when there's such abundance! This reminds me of one Sunday when I still lived at home with my folks when my Mama had planned a roast chicken supper with corn on the cob, a salad, and pie. Somehow it turned into that, plus green beans with ham hock, biscuits, pinto beans, mashed potatoes, and two different kinds of pie. Fortunately my brothers and their families were over visiting and helped eat it up. For me it's one of my loveliest cooking memories with my Mama.
I haven't heard case knife in ages. That's what we always called a butter knife growing up. This brought back a lot of memories. Greetings from East Tennessee.
Totally reminded me of some of the stuff that my mother made. And it is that time of year that you want to cook everything from the garden. It all looked so good!
This is exactly what should be taught in schools!
What an amazing meal you put together girl. That looks so good 👍. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us 👍
That was my supper tonight minus the blackberry dumplings and salmon cakes instead of meatloaf. Man I miss mawmaws blackberry dumplings, greatest of memories. God Bless y'all.
I enjoyed this so much. I grew up in the south and cook like this too. Everything looks so good! Thanks for sharing it with us.
My Grandparents had a sustainable homestead and grew all their vegetables and sold potatoes and eggs...Grandma always had sliced tomato and cucumber on the table at meal time during the summer and I still like to do this even during the winter...I always enjoy them with boiled new potatoes...Your style of cooking and meals are very similar to my Grandma...I'm from Ontario Canada so okra and cornbread were not staples but most of your other foods were...Meals were always a treat at my Grandparents...Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection...I remember Grandma going out to the chicken coop and killing a chicken for supper and she at one time used to cook on the wood stove in the heat of summer...You bring back good memories for me...Thank you for sharing all that you do.
Thank you Janice! Love those wonderful memories you have 😀
I love watching you in the kitchen making your family meals and hearing your stories.
Thank you for the video. The food looks amazing and delicious. I usually fry my okra the same as you do. Sometimes I do a deep fry depending on company. A very long time ago, I was on my way to go camping at the OBX, and I stopped by the corn fields and got some silver queen corn from a farmer's stand. When I got to the campground, I found that I didn't have a big pot to boil the corn in. I then remembered how my Mom used to cut the fresh corn off and pan fry it in some butter and bacon grease. And after that time, I've been doing my corn that way ever since. Your sweet family is so full of good humor and kindness. You all are truly blessed to have one another. LOL! If you'd invite me for supper, I'd not only do the dishes, but I'd sweep and mop the floor AND wash 'n dry 'n fold a load of laundry for you.😄 Thank you again for the video and for sharing your wonderful home with others. Take care and blessings to you all. 🙏🏻😊💖
Thank you Lisa 😀
I love the summer salad (I also have the Rada tomato knife and wisk..... and several other Rada items..lol, cause they're terrific) they're are many versions of the salad here in my neck of the Appalachians too, my favorite two are
1. After you've chopped the three vegetables, add a spoon full of miracle whip (not mayo) and salt and pepper, stir and fold in till everything is coated and chill in the fridge for at least an hour (you don't want to add a large amount of MW, go light on it and you can always add more if you need to) it is scrumptious!
2. After the veggies are chopped or cut up, add equal parts of vinegar and water to coat everything (you could add a small amount of sugar if you wanted, I don't) salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate to chill and marinade. P.S. that whole meal looks soooo delicious....I wish we were neighbors, like a few houses down, instead of a few states away...bahahaha
Those sound great 😀
I swear I am going to have to stop watching you cook. I love everything you cook. I am suppose to lose some weight,my sugar was up when I went to the Dr. I could eat this dinner here at 5 in the morning. God bless this awesome family, I love you guys.
Oh my that all looks so good my mouth is watering. I can make a meal on fried okra, corn on the cob and sliced tomatoes. Unfortunately out here in Pa. I can’t find okra anywhere. I will keep looking and next year I may have to plant a couple just so I can have at least one mess. Love the way the whole family cleans the kitchen! ❤️
Thank you 😀
What a wonderful feast! Seeing your family express their appreciation for your efforts was lovely! We had our first sweet corn of the season on the grill tonight and it was so delicious! Love summer's bounty!
This is not dinner, this is a feast!!! Yummy 🤤
I love watching you cook! My momma was from the mountains in Virginia and cooked just like you.
I love the way you take me back to my childhood with all these wonderful dishes, thank you.
I'm gonna put a solid 9.5 on the drool factor for this one. I've wised up and had a snack before watching too. Everything looked so yummy. I like shredded carrots in the meatloaf and I add oatmeal or crumbled crackers. I know Matt probably passed out directly. Thanks for sharing and y'all stay safe.
Thank you Brian 😀
We had meatloaf, stuffed peppers, okra, maters and cornbread for supper tonight. Watching your video, I'm hungry all over again. My children are all grown and gone now. That was sweet how your daughter told you she loved you.
Looks soooo delicious. You were cooking up a storm! Leftovers of all this would be great. Do you have a recipe for the dumplings cooked on stove like you did? Yummy. Your canned green beans look so pretty! Thanks Tipper.
Thank you Sue! I will try to do a video on them, but it was milk, self rising flour, and a little sugar 😀
My people are the Howard’s from Eastern Kentucky, and you are the spitting image of my grandmother when she was a younger woman. I miss her so much. I love your channel, it’s like watching my Mamaw cook again. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
😀
I love your recipes Mrs Tipper, I love summer garden meals too along with my annual thanksgiving feast are my favorite meals to cook and eat! This really looked like a summertime thanksgiving feast!
Great you all together as a family!!!
All your summertime vegetables look so good ! I tried your cornbread recipe and it came out great. Growing up in New England we didn't eat cornbread (my family didn't ). One type of bread we did eat a lot of was rye bread. My Dad would buy the rye bread from a Lithuanian bakery where the bread was baked in brick ovens. We also had white bread which was either Wonder or Sunbeam. I saw your video on light bread. I told my husband how you sprinkled sugar on white bread too like he did as a kid. . He grew up in Florida. I now live in Florida and have been introduced to Southern cooking . I've also tried your Cabbage Patch soup and it was delicious. Thanks for sharing your Appalachian recipes . I need to try your dessert dumplings !
That is wonderful! Thank you Donna!
Yeah here in Australia 🇦🇺 we eat the skin on the Tommy's bar if we are making sauce. Them Dumplings, my late wife made Golden syrup dumplings but she would tell me the weather wasn't right at the moment to make them. Now I don't know if she was pulling me leg but when she did make them they would be the best. Ps that sauce on your meatloaf if you add honey and garlic and pant it on a porkchop it comes out pretty good 👍 I remember my wife use to do that . Great video young lady 👏 👍
Absolutely love you and your daughter's channel haven't been on here in a while been out rodeoing was up in Canada now I'm in Salinas California you guys are so blessed you have two beautiful daughters God bless you guys keep up the good work Katie is absolutely adorable
Thank you!!
I love your videos and your documentation of Appalachian culture. This is one of my favorites. Just like home. And made me hungry!!
We love that salad. Momma used Italian dressing sometimes and I have other family that uses Ranch dressing. I usually just use salt and pepper to taste. It's a wonderful Summer salad and so easy to make.
Other tjan salt and pepper are herbs and other spices ever used in Appalachian?
Cooking
You have a wonderful family. Thank you for the recipes. God bless you.
Your cooking always gets my tummy growling and my mouth watering, your family is so blessed to have you in so many ways! I’d be so proud if I ever learnt we are related some how, I love all y’all
I’m glad you said supper instead of dinner! I grew up with the evening meal called supper, thank you for bringing back wonderful memories.
