- Thanks for watching! Try the biscuits out and let me know what you think 💕
4 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting2 tablespoons baking powder1/4 pound (1 stick) SALTED butter, cold, cut into 1/2-inch cubes2 large eggs, beaten1 ½ cups milk, plus more as needed and for brushing
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter & lard, using your hands, cut them into the flour until pea-like crumbs form. Stir in the beaten eggs to the milk. Then pour in the mixture until the dough comes together into a sticky mass. You may need more flour if it's too wet. When ready, preheat oven to 400 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dust a little flour onto your work surface then put the dough onto the work surface and use your hands (flour them) or rolling pin to push it down and flat. Fold dough into thirds. Roll out again and repeat process. Then roll it to 1/2 inch thick. Use regular mouth jar ring to cut out about 20 biscuits. Reform the scraps of dough into a circle again to cut more. Transfer biscuits to prepared baking sheet and arrange them so they are touching each other. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Your story about God’s provision reminds me of my family’s life while my husband was in seminary. There were so many times we didn’t know how we would pay for rent, utilities, or groceries. I was working temporary jobs, while my husband worked as a janitor for the seminary. There was always money to come in just when we needed it. We experienced so many miracles. Our life has been so rich with His blessings.
The Lord is so kind when caring for his people. I love hearing about other stories like yours ♥️
Please open your Bible and read the book of 1 John 4:16. That read - And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us . God is love ❤, and the one who remains in love remains in union with God and God remains in union with him . Love whom God loves and hate what God hates 😊 May the Almighty God continue to provide what you and your family need. May you continue to put Faith in God ( his name is JEHOVAH ) . The maker of the Heavens and the Earth.

Why does it say living a hard life ?
Amen! God provides!
Laramie, many years ago I lost my husband with two toddlers and pregnant with my third. I was in the bottom of a dry well. Two months after my father passed away. I drove from Nebraska to California with my three babies, scared to death. We ate peanut butter sandwiches and I froze milk to have for the children.
The children are now stable happy Adults in their late forties and I am 73 with a great husband and a comfortable home. But occasionally I remember that late Autumn and what we women come through. I am grateful for my life and I think only when a person comes through tough times, do we really appreciate the better ones
This brought tears to my eyes. I shared your comment with my husband too. We sometimes wonder how our children will turn out with the childhood we’re giving them. There’s peace knowing others who have had trials and their children have grown up to be strong and sturdy adults. Thank you so much for sharing this ♥️
Didn’t mean to make you cry but you were so upfront about your struggles, I was compelled to tell you about a hard time in my life. I firmly believe in looking ahead and not to dwell in the past but my kids know the story and it has helped them to stand up against challenges in their lives. God is watching over your family just like He watched over us. I am as sure of this as I know the sun will come up in the morning

I am new to your videos and I am also over 70. I have experienced many hard times in my years. My husband of 56 years passed away last month from cancer so the hard times are not over yet. Watching you cook was so impressive. I learned from you tonight! This is the first time I believe that I have seen true “cooking from scratch” In a very long time. Thank you.
My condolences on losing your husband last month. I will pray for comfort and peace for you as you walk this trial. 💔 As a wife myself, I cannot imagine the pain you’re feeling. Thank you for your kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed my video.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending love ❤🙏and prayer your way
May God Bless You!
I'm sorry to read of the loss of your husband...Peace and Healing To You and Your Family 🤎
I am so sorry for your loss. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.
Here are a couple of suggestions about making the biscuits. 1) Instead of round shapes, use a knife, pastry cutter or pizza roller and cut them into rectangles. That way you don't need to pull up the scraps to form a second batch of round biscuits that usually look deformed and tougher. Large rectangle shaped biscuits also make great sandwich bread or breakfast egg sandwich. No waste. 2) Once you roll out the dough into a rectangle on your counter, place the dough directly onto a cookie sheet or square/rectangle baking dish and then cut the biscuits into the rectangle shape. That way the biscuits don't get out of shape from picking them up individually off the counter and placing onto the cookie sheet/baking dish. It also saves a couple of minutes.
I have a clay pizza pan. I gently shape my dough on it. Then cut into slices. Bake. No waste
Your story made me teary. God always provides what we need when we need it most. If you’re someone who is struggling, remember that.
This channel is bringing back old time values to a new generation that really need the option of learning your skills, and hearing your experiences that have taken you down this path. Prioritizing your your faith, your family, and sound nutrition is not a lesson lost on those wise enough to listen. And I watch how your subscribership has jumped. Girl, I think you've found a special calling! How blessed you are to have the right attitude about hardship - addressing the elephant in the room that many may be embarrassed about, and turning it into an enriching share-time of wisdom, tips and tricks - what comfort you are offering others!
You know you are so right.
When 2020 shut downs happened, luckily my husbands job was considered essential so he never missed a beat at work. However, i saw and heard what so many was going through, i saw the lack of at grocery stores. I started learning to cook from scratch, started learning to garden and preserve our harvest with canning, dehydrating and freezing. I cleared out an large closet that really wasnt being used for much and had husband build shelves. I started catching a deal here and there and woukd stock up when i could. My husband wasnt so sure about the need for all this. But let me do it cause like I told him, so many are losing jobs, and many companies are now having to make cut backs and I knew he was the highest paid employee that got benefits that others didnt due to them being in his contract, so I knew if his company made cuts, he could be one to go.
Then a yr after telling him that, Dec 30th, 2022 my husband was laid off.
Luckily i had been preparing with learning to cook almost everything from scratch to stocking our pantry and our freezers. Along with done made the purchase of a pressure and water bath canner and plenty of jars that I was finding dirt cheap from others who no longer canned and stocked up on good quality lids. I had also had several months worth of hygiene products, stopped buying most cleaning products and learned to make my own, and paid several bills ahead.
So we was okay financially, we didnt have to really worry as much as we would have other wise, cause before I started all the changes we literally lived paycheck to paycheck. By the time he lost his job I saved so much money I was paying a few bills ahead.
When he lost his job we made the difficult decision to clean out his 401k and pay off as many debts as we possibly could. We knew that he wouldnt find a job, especially during this time, that would offer the pay he had before or the benefits. We are very thankful we did this as he had to take a $12 hr pay cut, no more company car or company phone, travels expenses to and from work no longer paid, we now had to purchase another car, pay auto insurance, and maintence on that car as well as gas mileage. Plus medical insurance is more than we paid before and less coverage. But he works 10 mins from home now vs 1 1/2 hr each way to and from work. And sonce we thought ahead on everything, we are financially doing ok. Bills are getting paid, no stuggle to cover food costs. We keep things simple, and plan ahead for big purchaes that we can not get past having to make. We are doing so much better and we fully plan to continue these practices and implement more. We are currently in the process of selling our home and moving 700 miles away. We fully plan to purchase a much cheaper home, renovate it ourselves, and starting a small homestead within our needs and abilities. And moving my sick mother in with us, which will financially help her and help us too as we can know whats going on with her and take care of her as family should.
I dont know how i knew to plan ahead like that, it was a strong gutt feeling that I couldnt ignore, just as it is now for our future plans. I can only say GOD has lead us to where and what we need(ed) to do and its all by his grace.
The Holy Spirit was definitely moving you to prepare. Praise God that he did. I’m glad that you all are doing better now. I think there are still many that are struggling because of the shutdowns. 💔
I had the same gut feeling! That was two years ago now and my husband and I are so grateful for that feeling I had. We too know it was by the grace of God 🙏 ♥️. Thank you for your message 😊. Bless you and your husband.
Hope for an update after the move God bless
Tonya you have a story similar to mine. When covid started I was working as a Para Educator for an elementary school and my husband had an "essential job" Luckily back when couponing became a thing in the 90's I caught the fever and began putting stuff away either through couponing or a really good discount. Thankfully I had done this because when the store shelves became bare we had plenty. What we did do though was start paying off debt like crazy. We made fairly good money at the time and because nothing was really open to spend money we started paying extra on our debts instead of going to dinner or shopping. Every time we paid something off we started on another thing. Soon we were debt free. We then started really putting money away in our savings. We were able to buy a used car and pay cash and in 2023 we bought a fixer upper 3 bedroom 1 bath on 1/3 acre in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for $23,000 cash. We are debt free and mortgage free and I work part-time as a teacher which I love. I cook by scratch and we have a very small income now and I wouldn't change a thing. They call where we live God's country and I feel so blessed to be here. God has truly blessed us!
Free food is indeed a big blessing!
Yes it is!
Hi Laramie. I find you to be such a rare breed at your young age. I absolutely adored those background baby noises. They make life special. That was a great haul of free apples. I could listen to you all day. Have a great weekend with your family, dear one.
It was a full bushel! Thank you for the compliment, you are so kind Cindy ♥️
When I was a child, my dad had an accident on his job and was out of work for 6 months. My mother was pregnant with my little sister. It was so hard on our family. Holidays came around. My extended family and my dads work family stepped in. Christmas was very sparse. Each one of us kids received one gift only. I will never forget that Christmas. It really showed us kids the meaning of Christmas love.
That’s wonderful that they took care of you all ♥️
This is touching. I have been often in your situation. I have lived on food stamps and charity from our church or other people. We have been richly blessed. In 2021 I got COVID for the first time. It was the worst case I have ever experienced since. Our children's parochial school brought over a turkey and a few extra groceries. The state gave us a free Thanksgiving dinner to cook with another turkey. Then our church gave us two more turkeys. We had so much turkey that we couldn't even store it all. My teenage daughter made Thanksgiving dinner that year complete with homemade pumpkin pie and roast turkey. She did almost everything from scratch even while I was sick in bed.
I am so grateful for the help we get. This year our children's school helped us with Christmas presents. We got lots of nice things. My parents helped also even though they really ought not to. They spoil us. It's the gifts of presents and food that help us to keep paying for 6 kids to attend Catholic school. Somehow we come up with the tuition payments. Somehow we manage to always have enough food for the 10 of us in our fridge and freezer. Somehow we can always pay the rent to my parents. These are God's blessings.
This video just popped up on my screen, I’ve never seen your channel before, I cried during your story, it was just what I needed to hear. I lost my husband on Aug 3 2023. The most amazing man I’ve ever met, he fought so hard to stay with me, but the cancer took him just 2 days before he turned 75. I’ve cried every day since, having no family I met him in my early 40s I was so blessed with the wonderful man God put before me. Now I just turned 59 yesterday and I didn’t think I was going to get through it, but I see now there is a reason and I must go on to see it through. Thank you my dear. God bless
Happy belated birthday ♥️ my deepest condolences on losing your husband. As a wife, I can’t imagine the pain you’re going through right now. I’m so glad you found a bit of encouragement with my video. Please, send me an email if there is ever anything I can pray on for you.
You have eternity to enjoy with your dear Husband. Love from UK.
Some 65 years ago I asked grandma how she made those wonderful biscuits. “Well,” she said, “I take that tube and I whack it on the table real hard.”
Now those biscuits say bioengineered food on them...what is that? I don't want to know. I make mine with 2 ingredients. Self rising flour and heavy cream! I know what are in mine. Im going to guess that those biscuits 65 years ago were a little closer to being homemade than they are now.
The comment ‘life doesn’t get easier,we just get stronger’ was an awesome statement.How true that is !
Girlie don't apologize for your baby , it's your channel. Loving the video.
My grandmother would make baking powder biscuits as they were a quick bread alternative upon returning from working in the fields. She taught me how to make them, and you're so right, be gently and only mix until the dough comes together and fold. You're teaching your children to respect the blessings God gives us. It's cliché but "waste not, want, not." The baby sounds are delightful.
Yes my Mom would say “A willful waste makes for a woeful want. “
i live in an area full of old orchards, berry canes ALL OVER, some trees just growing wild. it doesn't cost much to prune and spray (leaf curl) just ONE tree let alone two or more. the amount of no-kidding free food that can be had just by stopping along a country road and picking from the trees on hillsides leading down to ditches is out of this world.
On that sounds wonderful! We have wild blackberries in our neighborhood that we pick. They are so tasty!
Oh my gosh, how could a baby ever be a bother? I think it's beautiful and they're learning so much watching you!
It's so easy to get bogged down and distracted by everything going on around us. God has always been and will always be so good to us
You are so right. Sometimes we need to stop and remember all that we have ♥️
Aww, I loved the giggles at the end, and who can be offended at baby noises!! Enjoyed the video, thanks for posting. Have a great weekend, Laramie!
You too!
I'm a firm believer that you are where your meant to be in the moment. It doesn't matter the paths you chose along the way. Where you are today in this moment is where you are meant to be.
God Bless Always
Such a touching, loving video! I'm an older woman and definitely needed to hear this gentle reminder about life's ups and downs! Thank you my dear as you never know what someone is going through! May God bless and keep you! ♥️🙏
You are so kind! I’m so glad you found me on here ♥️
I love watching your videos - they're so calming and you bake/cook with such care and love. 🙂 I'm one of 8 children - my parents were both extremely hardworking, yet still had a very hard time financially bringing up 8 children. My Mother was so resourceful - both parent's so diligent - we never went without a proper homecooked dinner, clothes, necessities and an abundance of love! My Dad was a Minister and both my parents would say that God provided them with all they/we needed. Their faith never waved, right up until their passing ❤
Laramie your testimony is so beautiful. I cried. I'm an old lady now and struggle every day but keep the faith. When my children were small, I learned the very lessons you speak of, and learned to source food while growing what I could, as well as making everything from scratch and using every scrap. How refreshing to see how you're doing what I did 'back in the day'. Blessings to you and your sweet family.
What a beautiful video, the biscuits, the sweet baby sounds and the words about life. Perspective and learning the lesson from the trials and pain are two of the things that keep me grounded. Thank you and God bless you and your family.
You are so kind! ♥️
I've found so many times over my lifespan of 75 years, how often, when things are at their bleakest, something will happen which comes unexpectedly as a lifeline, whether it's a gift of a little money or an unexpected gift of food. I like to acknowledge my hardest times, but would rather remember the times when someone, or something came to pass which eased my burden, cheered my day, and helped my life. Of course, if you are a person of faith, give due praise but it doesn't matter who you attribute as the cause of the help, just to give thanks to the universe for coming to your aid, and for the good folks we meet in life, who sometimes see or feel your need and come to your assistance. Excellent video, thank you.
After losing both parents 2 years apart,moving across country and ill health of my husband and myself,we hit rock bottom.I had to work all hours for very little.5 years later I work to bring in what we need.Having been there I now count my blessings.All I need is the love of my family who helped us through that trying time.I now pay that forward to help others
I really love how you talked about the apples. The earth provides us food for free. If any of us takes food from our earth, we should feel content. If we use food from our earth that would otherwise spoil, we should rejoice and feel pride ❤🙌🏼
I made apple butter for the gifts I give our neighbors at Christmas. It was delicious, easy, and they all came back to say they enjoyed it with their Christmas breakfast. I make biscuits with self-rising flour, a handful of shortening and buttermilk to the right consistency dough. It is delish, cheap, and can be frozen for toppings for chicken pot pie, fruit cobblers, and quick breakfast sandwiches. Thank you so much for reminding folks it is so rewarding to cook from scratch; both for the pocketbook and the Soul. 🙏
Thank you for the encouragement. I really needed it in this season. ❤
You’re so welcome ♥️
UK here. Oh my word, rabbit is such delicious meat! We would struggle to buy it nowadays but I recall eating it as a child (and, very occasionally, since then) and how much I enjoyed it. My mum always added sage to the stock when she cooked rabbit for pies or stew, and even though it’s usually associated with chicken I still think of sage as the natural accompaniment to rabbit.
It's so good! We love eating it!
Thank you for sharing this experience. Sometimes we forget we're not alone and how much we have to be thankful for! God bless.
I love your content and your storytelling is so peaceful. I can listen to it all day long.❤
Thank you ♥️
Beautiful 🥰 your correct we do have a lot to be thankful for we just need to stop and look around and think about it.
Absolutely ♥️
I loved listening to this story this morning. I hope that you can share with us a video of how you choose to bless others in your local community as well as your youtube community- I bet your church is really lucky to have you:)
Thank-you so much for the verbal conversation...I love your channel!❤
You are so welcome! I’m glad you tuned in 😁
I got so excited when I saw a new video in my feed. Another beautiful video with wise words.
So glad you enjoyed it ♥️
Praise the Lord!!! Tyfs your wisdom dear soul. I wish we lived closer so I could share what I have with you & your family. We will need a strong faith in the Lord for what is coming & what is currently happening.
You’re so kind ♥️
I love your voice, the level of it and the speed of it. I know that sounds weird. I never compliment people on that.
Thank you for your proverbs 31 wisdom, I needed to hear it. My family has had a rough three years, but there has been so much good mixed in with it all. I lost my mom in December of 21, my Dad in February of 22, Then my 20 year old son had heart failure leading to a heart transplant of this year. This year my husband also lost a job and went to a temp service, right outside he was attacked and his knee was broken, this was during our sons heart failure. But God showed up in a mighty way through our small town community, and He has continued to do so because He is God, and he is good all the time. Anyone going through tough times should Liston to the song ,Way maker. I have learned that even when we dont see Him working, He never stops.
Fanatastic job on your videos! I love the calm and simple discussion of life. I was always grateful for what I had even though it was never much. You are a light for your generation.
Laramie, I just love your calming and peaceful videos. Thank you for sharing the story of your toughest year, and how faith brought you through. You are right, there are no accidents. God bless you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it 💕
Love the baby noises! A wonderful addition.
Never apologize for babies or children making noises, it is God Delight and Blessing to us our children. I enjoy it. Peace!
♥️♥️♥️
Making any dough, (bread, pasta, nann, etc) is an art. You learned early. I just perfected flour tortillas. My family sees me making them, and they hover in the kitchen to wait for the hot ones to come out of the cast iron pan. Simple, simple food. We all eat the first ones blowing the hot air out of our mouths. We do sit down and eat together, but tortilla meals start around the stove. It’s fun
I love baby noises! Precious!
You are such a joy to watch and listen too.🙏❤️
Thank you ♥️♥️ I love her baby noises.
Thank you for a beautiful video & message today! You are very resourceful. Those apples are a great blessing. I would be interested in how you make your apple cider vinegar. Have a blessed day!!
That would make a great video! I’ll add it to my list for you
I love that you didnt waste a crumb of that dough!!😊 And heck ya so.eone blesses you , you let them cause it helps lift them as well!! That is why I always keep a big Pantry because we just never know what is going to happen! Trials are hard but they make us stronger! God brings us tbrough when we rely on him!!
This is very relaxing to watch.
I’m glad you enjoyed 💕
What a wonderful story. God does provide in our time of need. He has done so time and time again in my own life. God bless sweet friend 🙏❤
I admire you that you can raise the bunnies for food. I could not kill something I raised as I'm a HUGE animal lover. I don't have your strength in that area. You have a beautiful family.
You are so lovely. I think you channel will soon grow big. Take care and best love for your family.
Thank you so much for sharing! I really needed to hear that right now! Be blessed! ❤
I’m so glad to hear it was encouraging ♥️
I love that tool you’re chopping up the apples with ❤❤
Thank you, an anniversary gift from my husband one year. I love my ulu ♥️
Girl- you have got this! And it isn't that you are doing new things- you share peace , contentment and joy while doing them. The world is hungry for these...! Rabbits convert feed to meat better than another farm animal...good choice!
I learned how to make biscuits from my great-grandmother (also from WV). I have never seen anyone add eggs to their biscuits though.
You're so awesome I'm very proud of you and your family tuff times will come and go but it's how you handle it, when you look at things in a positive light that's what the kind lady that brought you the box of food she also brought you a positive outlook I'm 66 and l'm single at first I didn't think i would be able to make it on my own but the moment I changed my thought process just like you it changed my narrative i will be making your biscuits and from one human to another I Love you and your family always look for peace it will always be there ❤
Watching this video has me just crying when you said that sweet lady told you to just hang on... I'm going thru some things and that spoke to me so deeply. Thank you. P.s make more videos... I finished them all.
Watching your video brings to mind Proverbs 31. “She opens her mouth with wisdom,
and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness”. Blessings.
Wonderful video, so homey and comfortable, I love the baby noises, it makes me miss my children being small💗
I’m so glad you enjoyed! Baby noises are some of the best noises ♥️
Something I did while my family was going up. After almost every meal there would leftovers, a spoonful of corn, mashed potatoes, macaroni and tomatoes, or maybe a sausage pattie, a hot dog. Anything. Instead of it going into my mouth I was cleaning up the kitchen, I put them into a plastic freezer container. When I 2 of the containers full with whatever, we had soup that night. I browned ground meat with onion and celery and whatever seasonings I chose that day. At great way of using leftovers that would just go in the garbage or my belly. Both places it didn't need to go!
That’s a great tip! Thank you for sharing!
I love this bible verse: "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" This verse tells me: Trust in God, he will take care of you. Always, because he created you and loves you. May God bless you and your whole family and all your animals, your house and your garden. Lovely greetings from Vienna (Austria) Sabine 🤗
Such a sweet testimony of God's faithfulness and your beautiful homemaking. Stumbled on your channel today and love it! God Bless!
Welcome! I’m so glad you found me here ♥️♥️
I'm going through a similar grief right now. I have no idea how things will turn out, so all I can do is trust God that it will eventually be OK.
Thank you for sharing your story. It reminds me of the hard financial times that our family experienced during my husband’s 20 years as an enlisted marine. The LORD provided for us and I am SO thankful!
I’m so glad that I’ve come across this channel. You have the most extraordinary attitude to life which I find so refreshing 😊
Thank you for such kind words!
Love your videos. Would love to see videos on your ongoing renovations of your fixer upper home. Your first videos about buying your home for cash was really intriguing.
I love to see the organic whole milk! Like I’ve heard you say in another video, we’re frugal, not cheap and you care about health! As we are being more frugal currently with my husband’s unemployment I am picking and choosing which food items I’m willing to save on and quality milk is not one of them 😌
I pray things turn around soon for your husbands work ♥️ and yes, health is so important! Frugal does not mean cheap ☺️
I am enjoying your channel. I especially love that you have started doing voice overs for your videos.
I do enjoy your channel. You have a fresh prospective on your approach to life.
Love from Yvonne Canada
Thank you for your kind words!
I've never made biscuits. I think I'll have to give them a try. You're so resourceful. A bushel of apples, what a blessing! I love that nothing goes to waste in your family. Thank you for another beautiful video. I love hearing your voice. Take care, Linda 🦋
Ohh you should try! Biscuits are so good with butter and jam on them 🍯
@@TheProductiveHomemaker Oh, I know. My mother makes them.
Great Thanksgiving story!
Thank you!
I agree! We lose sight of what we do have! And I am upset that Thanksgiving is even being attacked. I don't see it as political, just a day to give thanks.....therefore Thanks-giving!
@@jumpinjavajane8253 I get it. Same for me. But because it is also tied to the Native Americans and settlers and the US government broke just about every treaty they ever made and committed geneocide against the Native Americans I do see their point.
Very wise words, thank you for sharing such a healthy perspective.
Great that you could save and make good use of those apples, far too much good food goes to waste.
Please share your recipe for apple butter and how you make your apple cider vinegar!
Those sweet baby noises warm my heart.
I adored this video, it made me cry. As a mom with four small kids it’s true life can be challenging and yet we are so blessed. Happy thanksgiving ❤
Happy thanksgiving ♥️
I am new to your content. Enjoying it a lot so far. I am also living extremely low income. Just passing along something you probably know? That biscuits can be (and are usually) made without the eggs. Just the flour, baking powder, salt, lard and/or butter and milk. A gentle mix and pat out, and you can cut and bake the fluffiest, most wonderful biscuits ever! It saves the eggs for meals!
Oh yes! They are delicious without the eggs too 😁
I had actually never seen them made with eggs before in all my years of cooking.
I always just buy the frozen biscuits for my husband because it’s so easy to cook one or two but maybe I will try making my own. I enjoy making biscuits but a batch is too many so freezing might be the ticket.
Yes, try freezing!
Those sweet baby noises are the best part of the video ❤ warms my heart
Wow! It’s amazing what you did with all of the beautiful gifts you received!
Thank you for your sweet testimony of God’s love and faithfulness. It reminded me of how God provided for our family so many years ago. And continues today in my life as a widow and grandmother. Stay strong and God bless you and the family.
Might I add - good health is our true wealth. Without it, money is insignificant.
Your story struck a chord within me, too. I appreciate you for sharing the lesson God has taught you through your hard times. A lot of people in the world have never gone through struggles and wouldn’t know how to handle them. Knowing that God is our Jehovah Jireh, our provider, leaves us with peace when we see how He blesses us with what we need. Blessings to you❣️
Hooray! Thank you for sharing your blessings… and avoiding waste!
I like that you do not waste any of the dough! Every bit is make into a biscut
I remember one thanksgiving sitting around the table on rounds of firewood because we only had two kitchen chairs back then we had five kids and wood was our main source of heat so we did a lot of firewood 😊😊😊😊😊
Resourceful ☺️
Sweet baby noise is always a joy to hear
What a beautiful video❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
I love how the biscuits turned out. Thanks for encouragement.
I’m so glad you enjoyed!
What a beautiful video. I can safely say that almost 40 years and 7 kids into our marriage, we've faced so really, really hard times, but Heavenly Father has always come thru for us, in ways we never expected.
In the UK we use suet for pastry, dumplings and steamed sweet and savoury puddings (Steak pudding, steamed syrup puddings). You can get recipes all over the internet. Suet pastry is fantastic in savoury pie crusts. Love your videos
Ohh I’ll have to try that. I’ve got suet in the cabinet!
It is important to keep in mind that suet and tallow come from different parts of the animal and have different properties. Many people online seem to be confused about this. Suet comes from around the organs, mainly the kidneys. This fat will produce substantially different outcomes from using tallow and does make wonderful pastry and puddings.
You are a wonderful story teller and cook!
Thank you so much! 😊
Your videos are so cozy like a comfortable home. :) I thought it was so nice for you to openly share the challenges you were facing with life. There's a lot of thought to making your videos very welcoming, even down to the music, which I found very therapeutic alongside the content. Many thanks for sharing your recipes and insight from Texas. :)
Your videos, along with cute baby noises, make me smile and inspire me!
It would be great if you could teach us a little bit more about the beef fat. How do you cook it down and for how long, do you strain it, how do you store it and how do you use it in your everyday cooking.
Yes, more educating content coming in the new year ♥️ hope you’re doing well!
Thank you for sharing your faith ❤
Thank you for listening 💕
I think you are amazing, a very good teacher of many lessons. A rather hard life not only does not have to be scary it can be wonderful. The children who grow up in this kind of loving home will be strong, not afraid of hard times & always close to each other. I know this because I grew up in this kind of home. I had a great childhood, really never felt poor. Learned to love God, be generous in many ways & appreciate a good life. Keep up what you are doing, it helps.
Such a sweet video. Thank you!
How could a sweet baby bother anyone! I have done a ton of cooking with a baby wrapped on my chest ❤
So true! One of the best things is to get to listen to sweet baby noises ♥️
What a timely video to fall across my feed today. Thank you for the reminder of the things that *are* important, that no trial is ever without the means to overcome it. You are an inspiration.
This brought back memories of me with my grandma making homemade biscuits when I was a kid visiting her
