When I was a child I went with my mother and my grandmother to pick wild greens. My Granny was an expert at wild greens. They picked dandelions, plantain, woolly britches, poke. We’d fill a brown paper sack full. Granny always said it cleaned your blood.😊
@@ritasmallwood1605 Has to be better then with all the garbage that's put in them while growing and so-called preserving stuff. Looking at ingredients lists will scare you do death and that's just the stuff they'll ADMIT to using.
When I was young, my grandma showed me how to harvest greens, but it’s been so many years ago I can’t remember everything she picked. There’s so much I wish I had written down. She’s no longer with me to show me how. She did teach me how to make her special fudge! And I have passed that on to my daughter. ❤
I was told by the elders that they would forages for dandelions, mushrooms and other wild edibles during the great depression. They did what they had to do to survive during those uncertain time. God bless them that they had the know hows on what to do and what to look for to survive. Wild mushrooms are my favorite to forage for. Anyways, thank you for sharing of what you harvested. God bless 🙏🙏🙏
I ordered a book "The Forager's Guide to Wild Foods" I love it. I don't take any Pharmaceutical Drugs for pain! I have an Autoimmune Disease which is very painful. A highly effective pain medicine can be found all over our back yards. My Grand Mother use to tell me all about wild Herbs for medicine I had a Great, Great, Grandfather who was a Native American Doctor of Herbal Medicines and Shaman. Thank you for sharing with us. God Bless You and Your Family'❤
I really appreciate all your tips Tipper, please always add those things you may think too silly because me and I’m sure many more of your followers cherish and appreciate! I fancy myself a good chef for a man but I’m always looking fer more recipes, tips and wisdom from people like y’all
I’ve been craving killed lettuce and onions with fried taters, soup beans and cornbread! And I absolutely can’t wait on poke to come up! I wonder if you can, actually can poke? I’ve never tried that, but I would love to have it, I tried freezing it, but it changed the taste to much! We are fixing to can dandelion, and wild violet jellies! Thanks for all your videos! We love them all! God Bless y’all! 💞
I love poke salad too and in my area of East Tennessee it’s starting to come up probably another couple of weeks I’ll be picking me some there best when their small young plants ❤
I remember the wilted lettuce with grease and vinegar and water pickled cucumbers years ago. With fried up streaked meat and my granny called it Cincinnati Turkey for some reason.
Such a good idea to go outside and forage for your dinner. Corie don't worry about eating with your hands, no big deal we all do it. Great video! Thanks Tipper!
Long story short .... when I was a teacher, for a few years I raised song canaries. Fascinating. Their favorite food to feed chicks was fresh chickweed mixed with a boiled egg yolk pressed through a sieve. Oh, my the music those birds made ... And day I brought the cage of birds to my middle school classroom for the kids to enjoy. The next day the principal was walking down the hallways directing custodian staff who had ladders poking through the ceilings. When I asked what was going on, he said we had "bird problems" and they were trying to find places birds had gotten into. I just laughed and laughed ... and told him the story. I was always in trouble. And it was always worth it from a kid's point of view.
Poke salat is my favorite 😮 cut the new leafs with tender shoots: wash, boil and drained twice and stir fry with onions 🧅 My grandmother made poke pickles out of the stems that were so much fun to bite into and hear them pop! Great memories that I continue doing each early Spring!
Italians love bitter greens and my grandmother would show me how to forage for dandelion greens. We ate them raw as a salad with sweet onions and olive oil red wine vinegar and salt and pepper. Love it!
My maternal grandmother was born in a covered wagon in the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, before Oklahoma was a state. She knew about wild greens and knew which ones to pick. She taught me about poke weed, dock, carpenter's square, dandelion, and thistle when it was young and tender. She had a 1948 Dodge coupe that was like a tank or Jeep and she could drive it anywhere. I'm looking forward to watching you'ns cutting some ramps. That's an experience I've never tried but I'm sure it would be like a good mess of greens, fixed with wild onions and garlic. Love this clip, Tipper.
Enjoyed this! Very healthy , nutritious meal ! Many , many years ago, I bought a book called " wild edibles " . I wore that book out , reading and identifying wild edibles in my yard and everywhere I went . I use to always make salad from the wild edibles in my yard . I called it a "yarden salad" instead of " garden salad " ...haha...thanks tipper , appreciate y'all always. God bless...🙏❤️
I had my first dandelion this spring and loved it I make it like my momma did with hot bacon dressing. She put the dressing on the dandelion greens and some crisp bacon pieces and added onion, hard boiled egg . She always had boiled potatoes with it too. You can find it in PA Dutch cookbooks how to make the hot bacon dressing. Or even online. I never heard of eating hosta shoots, ,but I plan to try it. I love watching you and the girls. I am 81 years old and I keep a place in my flower beds where I let the dandelion grow so I can pick it each spring.
Quincy watched this so guess what we had for supper last night! The dandelion fritters were good, I thought they would be bitter, but they weren't. His greens were pretty good, he picked pansy & violet blooms to go in them, too. I wouldn't let him pick my hosta. He just loves you all! Thank you so much for making Appalachia a great place!
There's a couple I watch from Missouri,Doug and Stacy, can't remember remember name of RUclips,but she mixes honey with little water,soaks her dandelion blooms in it,then bakes them few minutes. She said it's her dessert,like a soft cookie. I found an elderly lady (94yo) you tube few years ago, Depression cooking, and loved her channel!! They were Italian. She was working, and would wear her roller skates to and from, she'd take a little knife in her purse so she would dig dandelions to take home with her for them to eat. She'd wash really good,eat raw , little oil and vinegar. Think you'd enjoy her and I really learned some good ideas to put together few things to make a meal,satisfy a hungry belly!! Corie, I'm with you -i love raw garlic, almost better than raw onion and I love raw onion!!!
Glad to see edible plants from the yard that some have considered weeds. The way you and Corie prepared them looked delicious. Good video as always , many thanks.
Cory picking up the whole piece of chicken with her fork and eating it 😆😆😆 reminded me of my son when he was about 5 and we were at a Thanksgiving dinner at his step-dad's parent's house. And my husband grumbled at him saying, "Use your knife!". So my son put down the fork, picked up his knife, stabbed the whole piece of turkey and took a bite (completely unaware he was doing anything wrong). The in-laws got a tickle out of that even though the husband wasn't too happy. 😆. I think his mother even said, "Well, he did do what you asked". 😆
My Grandmother would give my mother and my aunt each a cake pan and tell them to pick all the dandelions in the front yard when food was scarce and to hear my mother tell it that was a lot of the time. She would tell them to not come back until their pan was full. Then she would boil them up and put three eggs in the pot for hard boiled eggs. She would use her best holiday serving platter for the cooked dandelions and cut the eggs in half and place them neatly around the platter and tons of salt . My mother always told me that was a delicious meal
When I was a child, we ate mustard, turnip and collard greens along with poke salet. I liked them all, but the collards were my favorite. My mother used the poke berries to make a beautiful purple dye for her wool yarn. Thank you for this video. I always learn from your stories.
I’ve made redbud jelly, violet jelly and of course herbal jellies. I’ve also cooked up daylily flower buds with some butter. Tastes like green beans to me. That was decades ago, in a different life. This was a fun video!
Watching your videos inspires me and warms my heart. I also watch your daughters channel and I love the content that they make. I feel blessed that I found a family like yours to watch and i look forward to seeing what you guys post next. 😊
You reminded me of a story. Years ago I invited my mother over to see my first garden that I was very proud of. Observing my hard work she suddenly became excited and rushed to the edge of my yard where a large weed was growing. POKE! You have poke! Can I have some? I was excited to show off my garden, she was excited about the weeds...lol
Astilbe was one of my father's favorite flowers! It's pronounced 'as-stil -bee', my friend. And thank you for teaching me, last spring, that hosta shoots are edible! Didn't know that.
I've got 4 messes of poke left in the freezer from last year. It'll be coming out soon again. When I eat poke, I dump it in a skillet when I thaw it out, and warm it up good, then turn it up hot, and add some bacon drippins to it, boy it's good. Or..mix egg with it.
My dad would cook poke salad . He would boil the greens then drain the first water off , and cook the greens again . Removing some , or all of the toxicity off . Unusual bitter taste ,but loaded with iron . Thanks Tipper .
My dad used to go and collect alot from our yard and my mom would cook them up.She said I always called it garbage,but I loved it.I would say give me some more of that garbage.I didn't know until I was older how healthy it is for me.I love fried cornbread. I love vinegar on mine too.Looks like a tasty Dinner.Yall have a blessed night-Carolyn
Looked like a lovely day spent, and the food looked yummy. My mam always used to tell us it was pneumonia weather and to keep a t shirt on the babies til May! Lol! They are alot alike. ❤ Have a blessed weekend.😊🌷🌼🪻🌱
Thanks, Tipper! This info. May come in REAL handy if I'm starving & things continue as they are. Appreciate the recipe & prep details. God bless you and yours, always.
Speaking of spring tonics, my momma would talk about how her mom said that they use to fix/take spring tonics. It would always help them to have the energy that the spring time would depleted them of. I figured it was from all the pollen that got to everyone. That and readjusting from staying mostly in from the cold wintery time back to warmer/colder ( can't make up it's mind) weather in the spring.
My mom and grandma said if you get the dandelions and watercress before they bloom they will be less bitter and milder. Love dandelion greens...with boiled potatoes, green onion, bacon, egg ( I think) and dressing made with bacon grease, water and vinegar. My mouth is watering!
I never knew about hosta shoots, WOW, I will have to see if I can get some!!! I am so ready for kilt lettuce! It all sure looks good. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and yours❤🙏🙏❤
Lunch looked YUMMY! I can't wait to try some of these things. Mom and granny would pick what they called wild lettuce and wilt it with bacon grease and that was always a treat for me as a kid. I also heard (as a child) that if you didn't prepare polk correctly it would be poisonious so I was always afraid to eat it. LOL
I have never heard of anyone eating dandelions!!! I grew up thinking it was a weed!!! I will definitely be watching your vlog on cooking them!!! Dinner looked good!!! God Bless!!!
This was awesome tipper! Thank you for making me remember to my younger days going with my mom to the spring that fed our well back in the day. We would get water cress and Polk salad. That’s all summer stuff, and my mom and aunt would do exactly what your showing us. Dad would always ask if we were short on money on those dinners. 😂 tipper you and your family are salt of the earth beautiful people. Makes me proud to be southern.
Enjoyed this so much! I've got to find your spring tonic video and watch it now. My mother always talked about the spring tonics her mother would fix to build up their blood. One of them was from sassafras root. Thanks as always! 😊
I remember going to a small creek on my Grandparents farm and picking watercress and making watercress sandwiches😊❤...We never tried dandelions except for making wine...I've never heard of anyone eating hosta shoots either but very interesting.
I’ll take a order! I about bet those pancakes and, greens are pretty tasty, especially, with a dallop of sour cream or some Greek yogurt over top with a sprinkling of chives, yum! Have a blessed day Tipper!
All dandelion parts, chickweed, and violet leaves are also wonderful medicine And I love how you related to me you can eat hosta shoots like asparagus. Looking forward to that 🙂 Take care
This reminds me of back home. My Mom would take me with her in the spring to look for what we called wild greens. Creations, sour dock. I have forgotten the others. She cooked Polk with other greens so they didn’t taste so wild.Some people cut Polk stalks up like okra ,rolled them in meal and fried them. My Mom never did that. Some people cook beet tops like greens and say they are really good,and good for you. Tipper, have you ever tried those ? ❤
I just looked it up and all hostas are eatable. The most popular is the early spring shoots. I love asparagus so I will have to get some hostas for next year.
When I was young, my mom took me outside an showed me how to pick greens &ect only thing she could not find is chickweed , so thank you I finally had chance to see it ! Again thank you God bless Jan
I remember going dandelion pickin with my mom and siblings. Mom would cook them up in her cast iron skillet and they were so good! I haven’t had any since I was a young child. Yours sure did look tasty!
Really enjoyed this video. That was a nice little dinner y’all cooked up. Corie loves her some garlic now don’t she. I made fried shrimp, fried taters and garlic twist bread for supper tonight. It was yummy. Y’all have a great rest of the week. Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida 😎🦩🌞🦩😎
I remember my paternal Grandparents having Poke salad around a lot.. fried up with lots of lard and a lot of salt and dumped on vinegar. I am not far from from Mexico.... one thing I like is there are vendors with a full range of vegetables and fruits pretty much all year around here.
That looked delicious. I love greens, but I’ve never eaten those greens. Dandelion greens I knew were edible but I didn’t know about the others. I can’t imagine years and years ago someone looking at a plant/weed and wondering if it was edible or not. I guess I wouldn’t have been that brave. Take care and God bless y’all! 😀❤️
My daughter and I have just started trying to forage, and learn about plant medicine. She was so excited to see this video, and I love how y’all made it look so yummy and easy! Thanks for sharing, blessings!
A still bee. I always leave the spring dandelion blooms for the b es. They have gone all winter without flowers to eat pollen from and they need the early nourishment to survive to pollinate our food crops so we can eat later.
Dandelions are the healthiest green in the world! Mmm! Try them with hot bacon grease and green onions and a splash of malt vinegar! Delicious! - from southeastern IN.
The greens look like fresh spinach. I ❤️ fresh spinach. Appalachian people know how to eat from their yard. I'd never would have known any of this. Thank you so much for sharing this information. 😊
I’ve never tasted Hosta before. I hope ours will come back this year after the deer ate them down. I like making Dandelion Jelly with my Dandelion’s. Your Chickweed looks good! Looking at your meal, I’m thinking I should try frying up some dandelion greens when they come up. Thank you for sharing! God Bless! 🕊
I made dandelion wine last year, it's good. And I have made deep fried dandelion flowers. I like the corn fritter idea with the dandelion flowers too, I will try that. 👍
My Mom always made dandelion salad in the spring. Usually served Pa Dutch bacon dressing....Nothing yet in our yard but, if I went to local public parks, I could perhaps find some.
I remember picking greens with my mom and grandma. We would walk through the cemetery gathering. We would take a sack lunch and picnic also. I had to laugh last year. I found Dandelion greens with the flower for sale in the produce section at our local Meijer’s. I had never saw them for sale in a grocery store before. They were huge.
I laughed when I saw these for sale at local grocery store in 2020. A friend was going to grab a couple things for us, and when I saw that on their website, I snapped a photo and sent it to her as a laugh. When I opened up our grocery sack, I found dandelion greens. She thought I meant I wanted them! I was like "Girl! Why would I ever pay a grocer for those?! They're out in my yard!" 🤣

When I was a child I went with my mother and my grandmother to pick wild greens. My Granny was an expert at wild greens. They picked dandelions, plantain, woolly britches, poke. We’d fill a brown paper sack full. Granny always said it cleaned your blood.😊
same! from Mississippi
I would have loved that 😀
@@ritasmallwood1605 Has to be better then with all the garbage that's put in them while growing and so-called preserving stuff. Looking at ingredients lists will scare you do death and that's just the stuff they'll ADMIT to using.

If u pick the dandelion before they flower you get a much sweeter taste. I've been eating them all my life and I love them.
Thanks for watching 😀

That lunch made my mouth water almost to the point of drooling 😂

Thank you for mentioning the name of the book you have. I was trying to find a book that would be the most helpful for foraging plants and herbs.
That is wonderful 😀
Is that book written by a woman who suffered from MS?
@@cheryllamb8831 Yes and she no longer has to be in a wheel chair. She is in remission!
@@juliagarza9942 Thank you! I also suffer from an autoimmune disease. Blessings to you 🕊
I didn't know about the hosta until I saw one of your videos, thank you so much Tipper.
Thank you Robin 😀
Thank you for teaching me some things I didn’t know was edible!
You are so welcome!

@@ritasmallwood1605 Try a greenstalk and use crushed egg shells on top of the dirt.
I love poke salad too and in my area of East Tennessee it’s starting to come up probably another couple of weeks I’ll be picking me some there best when their small young plants ❤
@@Luwanasue oh my gosh! I’m in Wears Valley TN! Hey neighbor! I’ve started watching for it to come up here!
I remember the wilted lettuce with grease and vinegar and water pickled cucumbers years ago. With fried up streaked meat and my granny called it Cincinnati Turkey for some reason.
The only thing that could have made this video better was if I were enjoying that awesome looking lunch with y’all

Wow looks so good!! I have tons of dandelions I need to cook some when they pop up 🤍
Grew up putting vinegar on greens. We also made pepper flavored vinegar by the brand Trappeys.

Dad would always ask if we were short on money on those dinners. 😂 tipper you and your family are salt of the earth beautiful people. Makes me proud to be southern.
You are so kind thank you 😊
I remember my gran and I picking miners lettuce for a salad one day as a young girl. Thank you for reminding me of that beautiful memory!
Enjoyed this so much! I've got to find your spring tonic video and watch it now. My mother always talked about the spring tonics her mother would fix to build up their blood. One of them was from sassafras root. Thanks as always! 😊
Wow, that’s amazing and I am going to look for some in my yard, great information, thanks for all you share, I love your videos 😊❤
So glad to have found your channel, thanks!
I remember going to a small creek on my Grandparents farm and picking watercress and making watercress sandwiches😊❤...We never tried dandelions except for making wine...I've never heard of anyone eating hosta shoots either but very interesting.
I’ll take a order! I about bet those pancakes and, greens are pretty tasty, especially, with a dallop of sour cream or some Greek yogurt over top with a sprinkling of chives, yum! Have a blessed day Tipper!
All dandelion parts, chickweed, and violet leaves are also wonderful medicine
And I love how you related to me you can eat hosta shoots like asparagus. Looking forward to that 🙂 Take care
This reminds me of back home. My Mom would take me with her in the spring to look for what we called wild greens. Creations, sour dock. I have forgotten the others. She cooked Polk with other greens so they didn’t taste so wild.Some people cut Polk stalks up like okra ,rolled them in meal and fried them. My Mom never did that. Some people cook beet tops like greens and say they are really good,and good for you. Tipper, have you ever tried those ? ❤
Love those memories! I have cooked beet greens they’re good 😊
Make a lasagne with your beet greens instead of spinach, really good.
I just looked it up and all hostas are eatable. The most popular is the early spring shoots. I love asparagus so I will have to get some hostas for next year.
I had hosta in containers close to the house and the deer would come right up and eat them down to the dirt! 🤣🤣🤣
We recently found out that you can eat redbud tree flowers- they're beautiful and taste like sweet pea shoots :) great in a salad
Tipper what a very nice meal for you both!
Thank you Buz 😀
When I was young, my mom took me outside an showed me how to pick greens &ect only thing she could not find is chickweed , so thank you I finally had chance to see it ! Again thank you God bless Jan
I picked dandelion out of my yard yesterday. I am going to try to make a tea. My first time. Wish me luck.
I remember going dandelion pickin with my mom and siblings. Mom would cook them up in her cast iron skillet and they were so good! I haven’t had any since I was a young child. Yours sure did look tasty!
Interesting video. Thanks for the ideas.
🍀
Really enjoyed this video. That was a nice little dinner y’all cooked up. Corie loves her some garlic now don’t she. I made fried shrimp, fried taters and garlic twist bread for supper tonight. It was yummy. Y’all have a great rest of the week. Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida 😎🦩🌞🦩😎
That sounds like a great meal 😀
I remember my paternal Grandparents having Poke salad around a lot.. fried up with lots of lard and a lot of salt and dumped on vinegar. I am not far from from Mexico.... one thing I like is there are vendors with a full range of vegetables and fruits pretty much all year around here.
I have a bunch of hostas in my yard. Did not know they were edible. I am going out to get some and try it. Thanks for sharing. God bless
At least we know Cory’s not a vampire. Lol
😀
Yes, it is amazing what you can find in your own backyard. Your lunch looked so good! Thanks for the video!😊
That looked delicious. I love greens, but I’ve never eaten those greens. Dandelion greens I knew were edible but I didn’t know about the others. I can’t imagine years and years ago someone looking at a plant/weed and wondering if it was edible or not. I guess I wouldn’t have been that brave. Take care and God bless y’all! 😀❤️
love your channel..thank you…I baked my pumpkin I had since October…now in the freezer!
Wonderful!
Looks really good. I just never knew this. 😮
My daughter and I have just started trying to forage, and learn about plant medicine. She was so excited to see this video, and I love how y’all made it look so yummy and easy! Thanks for sharing, blessings!
A still bee. I always leave the spring dandelion blooms for the b es. They have gone all winter without flowers to eat pollen from and they need the early nourishment to survive to pollinate our food crops so we can eat later.
Dandelions are the healthiest green in the world! Mmm! Try them with hot bacon grease and green onions and a splash of malt vinegar! Delicious! - from southeastern IN.
Great Video!! Thanks for sharing!1 Meal looks good!!
Thanks for the video have a day love from TEXAS
The greens look like fresh spinach. I ❤️ fresh spinach. Appalachian people know how to eat from their yard. I'd never would have known any of this. Thank you so much for sharing this information. 😊
I’ve never tasted Hosta before. I hope ours will come back this year after the deer ate them down. I like making Dandelion Jelly with my Dandelion’s. Your Chickweed looks good! Looking at your meal, I’m thinking I should try frying up some dandelion greens when they come up. Thank you for sharing! God Bless! 🕊
I had a friend who was a hairdresser, and she saved all of her hair clippings to put in her flower bed to keep the deer out
@@cheryle9453 Hi, we tried that here and it didn’t work. We tried everything. Thanks for sharing!
I love your crystal on your porch ❤
I made dandelion wine last year, it's good. And I have made deep fried dandelion flowers. I like the corn fritter idea with the dandelion flowers too, I will try that. 👍
I'm gonna have to try the f
dandelion fried cornbread. Sounds so good!!! And looks just yummy!!!
Branch lettuce is my first spring meal it is really the only green I forage Love it
My Mom always made dandelion salad in the spring. Usually served Pa Dutch bacon dressing....Nothing yet in our yard but, if I went to local public parks, I could perhaps find some.
I remember picking greens with my mom and grandma. We would walk through the cemetery gathering. We would take a sack lunch and picnic also. I had to laugh last year. I found Dandelion greens with the flower for sale in the produce section at our local Meijer’s. I had never saw them for sale in a grocery store before. They were huge.
I laughed when I saw these for sale at local grocery store in 2020. A friend was going to grab a couple things for us, and when I saw that on their website, I snapped a photo and sent it to her as a laugh. When I opened up our grocery sack, I found dandelion greens. She thought I meant I wanted them! I was like "Girl! Why would I ever pay a grocer for those?! They're out in my yard!" 🤣
I've been seeing people talking about dandelions. I'm gonna try this summer.👍
Hope you enjoy 😀
Am glad you tell us about this,,I love Onion on everything I eat,,
Thank you for watching 😀
That looks like a good meal!
Another great video 👍
Looks delicious 😋
Thank you 😋
Growing up my mother used to have a green set of your golden cut glass...that made me so sentimental.
Love that 😀
