Finding Joy in Simple Living - Grocery Haul and From Scratch Cooking

- This week we I will be showing you the everyday beauty that surrounds our life on our homestead. We will be making 2 different types of farmhouse cheeses, I will be showing you a small grocery haul, we will be using up some rhubarb to make muffins and I will be cooking a pasta soup that utilizes the cheeses I made.
Soaked Muffin Recipe + ( add rhubarb and cinnamon for this flavour profile)
• From Cow to Kitchen: M...
Quick Mozzarella
1 gallon of milk
1 1/2 teaspoons of citric acid
1/4 teaspoon of rennet
Bring the milk for 55F, add the citric acid mix in 1/4 cup of water. Stir it in and continue warming the milk to around 88F. Add the rennet in a 1/4 cup of water. Stir gently, turn off the heat and wait 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, break up the curds and turn the heat back up. Stir occasionally until mozzarella can be pulled. Stretch it on the back of the spoon or with your hands until the mozzarella no longer breaks when stretched and looks shiny and smooth.
Cottage Cheese
Place1 gallon of whole milk into the instant pot or on the stove and warm to 180F. If using the instant pot, hit the yogurt function until it reads boil. Once the milk is at temperature, stir in 1/2 cup of vinegar. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Strain out the whey and let the curds drain in cheese cloth for an hour or two. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the curds, mix together and store in a container. To make it a creamy consistency like store-bought cottage cheese, add cream or milk to the curds before serving.
Pasta Soup
1 diced onion
4 cloves of garlic crushed
1 jar of tomato sauce
2 tbsp of tomato sauce
1 tablespoon of dried basil
2 tablespoons of sugar, maple syrup or honey
Pasta noodles of your choice
8 cups of bone broth
3 cups of chopped spinach
2 lbs of ground beef
In a large pot, sauté diced onion and garlic in oil. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Add the tomato sauce, the basil, the tomato paste, the sugar, the bone broth and salt to taste. Once it comes to a boil add your pasta and simmer until the pasta is cooked, remembering to stir so the pasta does not stick. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Serve pasta with ricotta ( or cottage cheese) and mozzarella.

Hi Justine, I pray you are doing better. I have missed your great videos. I pray you will be able to return soon.
Love to the family. Be healed my friend.
Thank you! I’m hoping to be able to put some content together soon.
Rhubarb leaves make an excellent insecticide for the garden. Make a tea with them in a large pail and let set for a few days then use it to spray on the garden to kill off unwanted insects.
Love this! I will definitely be trying this out. Thank you for the tip!
Great video Justine.
Glad you liked it!
I feel bad at how many comments pry into personal details for reasons that are not loving on channels like this that are producing supportive and pure content.
These are glorious videos made w honesty and pure heart. Just love the submission to God and service to family that always exudes from your content.
Thank you! I appreciate the support 😊
@@TheSacredHeartHomestead ❤️🙌🙏
Happy to see the grocery haul!!! Love watching the cheese making!!!♥️♥️♥️
Im so glad you enjoyed it 😊
Justine, indeed there is "beauty in the ordinary"! I appreciate you sharing some of your life, recipes, and grocery tips for us in Canada. Take a bit of time for you as you work very hard for your family.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Love love your videos❣️ I thought I was busy raising two kids. I hope that you know you’re amazing, wow you work sooo hard!! I hope you have time sometimes to rest. God Bless you and your little family❣️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed watching how you make cheeses. The irises are lovely and purple is such a beautiful color. The pasta soup/bowl looks great - will try.
Have a blessed week during the month of The Sacred Heart🙏
Thanks so much 😊
I haven't seen a new video for over a month. I hope everything is ok at your place. Maybe just a busy summer like mine! I enjoy the videos I have watched and am not complaining, just a little worried. God bless.
Thank you for checking in! I posted an update last week in the community tab. I’ve had some health issues and have had to step back but I’m hoping to be back soon.
That's so nice that you took the time to reply! I hope you're feeling better and all is well. I'll add you to my prayer list. It's so hard to take care of yourself when you have children to care for too.
Mommy does this! 😂 That's me all the way with my little helpers❤
😂 it’s like they think they have the same skills as adults! 😂
New to your channel! Thoroughly enjoyed your meal preparations. Looked delicious!!!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Вітаю. Переглянула із задоволенням, було цікаво все.
Thank you so much 😊
Always look forward to your videos. You are living my dream!
Question: Don’t you peel your rhubarb? Peeling it will make it more palatable. Especially later on in the growing season. The peel contains more oxalic acid than the rest of the stem.
Love your recipes.
Keep the videos coming ❤
Depends what I am using it for. I find in baking, I only do it if I’m not pressed for time but it usually softens considerably during the baking process. But I did not know about the oxalic acid so I might do it all the time now 😂
Hi Justine, are you ok? Is the family ok? I assume you're very busy this time of the year. I miss your videos. I pray all is well and that you will be back soon. Be blessed friend.
On the Community tab it looks like she said she was taking some time off to focus on her garden! 😊
Yes I’m ok! Thank for thinking of me! I’m hoping to post an update soon!
Hi Justine! Where do you get your rennet? I grew up in Ontario, but am now out west, and I've had a hard time finding rennet to purchase in Canada.
I get all my cheesemaking supplies from glengarry cheesemaking. The shipping is quite expensive so I always make sure to place larger orders so it’s worth it.
Hello Justine Great recipes just wondering its so hard to find great kitchen appliances in canada were did you get your electric stove???
We got it from Forno appliances. They are a little pricier than your typical stove but the company has been amazing to deal with. We had a couple issues and Forno was quick to respond and send out the replacement parts. I can’t recommend them enough.
You're always busy. Just wandering if your husband is able to help you or does he work outside the home?
My husband works outside the home so it is just the kids and I weekdays. He does help out a lot when he gets home in the evening as well as during the weekends.
@@TheSacredHeartHomesteadexactly the way it should be. Keep up the great work mama.
Dont understand why you are wearing your baby on your back. Cooking, bending and gardening that baby cant sleep restful when you are moving all over. You gave birth all ready that the baby have some space cut the CORD .
Baby looked pretty relaxed to me! 😅
Well if you’re going to ask…
It’s called attached parenting and it works. The back is safer than the front for many tasks.
It’s proven as a method for healthy babies to feel secure and loved and develop positive neuro responses.
Super sweet of you to worry about the kid you haven’t met and the mom that’s raised a good handle full though!
It’s ghosting my other comment. But seems like maybe the original post up there could watch a fun cat video and be a little happier?
@@caseytarnasky5224 if she trips outside getting vegetables maybe she'll think twice. Cooking a kitchen is safe .? What are talking about. That baby gets no rest that way
@marie3539 do you even have kids? If you do, then you'd understand that the only way to be productive is by wearing babies. People have done it for thousands of years.
First time I have seen cottage cheese made. No have done yogurt in my slow cooker before and had no idea how easy to go on to cottage cheese.
Yes it so simple! I left the recipe in the description if you want to give it a try 😊
Nice to see Ontario content. Thank you for your channel...enjoyed your content. Thank you
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Go to little mountain ranch she’s in Canada her name is Chelsea she has a lot of recipes for rubarb
Thank you for the suggestion!
I’m happy to have found a new catholic homesteading channel!!
Rhubarb jelly.... My mother always made it and it is one of my children's favorite! Just plain red rhubarb... Its a beautiful red jelly... so not sure what a green rhubarb jelly would look like! I place my stalks in a steam juice, as if I were steaming grapes, and extract the juice, then use it to make a jelly. Green rhubarb Could be fun! Also mine enjoy a rhubarb strawberry pie. I love my rhubarb patch!!
Thank you for the tips! Will for sure be trying these!
Where'd y'all go??
I had to take some time off due to health issues. I’m hoping to be back soon.
Hello justine.
I have been following you few months now. I am also a christian.
I was wondering where in ontario did you & your hubby purchase your homestead?
We are currently in georgetown, ontario. But we won't mind to buy a small farm with a farm house a little further away from here.
We are looking something in ontario also, but not a huge section. Maybe around 5 to 10 acres the most. Because we have plans on getting a daìry cow, chickens for eggs and some for meat, goat, lamb and pigs. With the intention of selling the extra piglets once they are of age, same goes for the kids and lambs too, have another source of income. Plus the money would buy them hay and feed for the winter when we can"t put them out on the pasture.
Plus we will be growing our own food to carry us out over winter until the next year harvest. Such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, peanuts, some white wheats, and fruit trees and berries, onions, garlic and all the herbs etc.
Plus i want a greenhouse and a small high tunnel to grow fall & winter crops.
How much is farms where or close to your area?
And again where in ontario are you guys?
Thanks in advance.
Sabrina
We are in eastern Ontario and property here is pretty expensive at the moment although I’ve read that prices will go down a bit in the future. What helped us be able to purchase our 16 acres was purchasing a home that needed a lot of work. This house had no kitchen, no laundry room and no floors, for that reason it was not selling. We offered what we thought was a fair offer (100k under asking) and they took the offer. We have then been able to cash flow a lot of the renovations while still growing our homestead. It’s not for everyone as we’ve basically been living in a renovation for 3 years but we were able to purchase a property we could not have afforded if the home was in good condition.
Oh ok thank you for all that information.
You did what you could afford and I would do the same too if I am even so lucky to find such a place.
Maybe I might go the yurt way and rent a piece of farm land to put our yurt on, and eventually ask the farm owner to sell me the piece of land my yurt is on.
For sure I would make sure to have enough land to have our own chicken coop, and a space for a barn for a cow and a pig and a goat and land for them to eat fresh grass every year. And the rest of the land would be a portion for our gardens & green house and few fruit trees.
With that i would settle with it because the other ways are too expensive for my budget as a single mom of 2 girls.
Thanks
Sabrina

Love this!! Blessings to your sweet family from a USA neighbor! I love your calming videos, but most of all, the way you respond to unkind comments with grace.💜
Always love your videos.🤍🌱
Thanks so much 😊
Funny enough I never had rhubarb until I moved to England almost 31 years ago. My mother in law made rhubarb pies with custard, but my favourite it apple and rhubarb crumble ( crisp). Soooo good!
It’s fantastic with homemade custard and vanilla ice cream, or pouring cream over the top.
That sounds really good and I have lots of apples at the moment so I may just try it out today !
Always look forward to your videos! Such great recipes and ideas for meals. You work hard Mama! Well done. Put your feet up and rest a little. Val C ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you so much! 😊
Hi Justine, I love the dress you were wearing. It's so pretty. It looks very comfy and looked great on you. That soup looks so good.
You have a great week.
Thank you for the lovely compliment. I hope you have a great week as well.
Love your recipe for the chocolate milk! I'm going to make it. Store bought is just not what I remember as a child. Loved the video!
So glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Always enjoy your videos!
I appreciate that! Thank you!
Lovely video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️
