    Your home looks SOOOO BEAUTIFUL, Robin! The simple decorations worked out really well. When you were placing the nativity set out, I actually said, "The wise men should NOT be there since they came years later." And then you removed them at the end. Yes, let's be biblically accurate whenever we can. :) Have a wonderful, safe and joyous Christmas!

    Hi sweet friend - yes, I remember your friends from India. I’m sure they enjoyed your wonderful cooking. I was thinking as I watched you clean your induction stove top that I bet you are loving it. I love mine and it’s so easy to clean. I remember you struggling with cleaning your gas stove. I love your Christmas decorating too I think it looks just perfect. I did much less also I didn’t even put up a tree. We are all going up to Melissa‘s in Dallas for Christmas this year. But I did decorate the mantle and the coffee table and the foyer and the dining room table and some in the kitchen so it looks festive. I really like your garland it looks so real and nice the way you have it hung. I am feeling just so good. The physical therapy I’m doing is just helping me so much. They said even if when you were old like me you walk and keep active that’s good but that’s not really enough. You need to exercise all these different muscles and you need to work on your balance. All of that has been really helping me. In addition I’m trying to eat nutrient rich foods that will nourish my body and make it stronger. I have been approved for one more month of physical therapy and by that time they think I should not need any kind of aid in walking. Now I’m still using my walker because of all the falls I’ve had. Anyway I am happy and encouraged with the way things are going and I give all praise and honor and glory to our Savior Jesus. Where would we be without him love in Christ

    • @FaithandFlour

      It's good to know that you are making progress and are feeling better! Even the smallest festive touches throughout the home are enough to bring the Christmas spirit when we aren't able to put up a tree. It's nice you could do it! God bless you!

    The tradition in our church is that the Wise Men visited on Epiphany, or 12 days after His birth, which represents the first manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles. But I’m also aware that there are scholars who suggest a later date. One of those things where experts disagree, lol. Either way, whether 12 days of 2 years, it makes sense to me to relocate the Magi away from the nativity. I like how you placed them with the star…on the road, so to speak. Have a wonderful Christmas and safe travels!

    Just a note--always store your wine bottles with the neck angled down. That makes sure the cork stays moist as it stays in contact with the wine. The wine will keep longer if the cork doesn't dry out. Love your kitchen!

    I have also toned down on a bunch of our decorations and really like it better. Your home looks really nice for the holidays, I really like it. All the family has their special dishes so I don't have a lot of cooking to do.
    All the family has their assigned dishes to make. I do fix a Christmas Eve supper the night before for our immediate family. It is homemade beef stew, salad, and different little sandwiches. Plus vared desserts. Gifts opened on Christmas morning. Then a large lunch. That we all contribute to.This has worked for us for many years. After lunch all the family goes outside for a snowball fight. The snowballs are the large marshmallows. I laugh because the animals run after the marshmallows. Everyone has so much fun.God Bless You and Family

    The TV screen changer is a fantastic idea; so pretty. I love nativity scenes for Christmas. After all, that's the reason for the season.
    I've found that with pre-made pie shells, I have to get the deep dish ones, even if the recipe doesn't call for them. The commercial shells are always a lot shallower than your pie plates at home.

    • @FaithandFlour
      @FaithandFlour  6 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you Ann! I agree on the pie shells. Unfortunately the only gluten-free ones I can find don’t offer the deep dish size. I got some great suggestions for recipes to try here in the comments, so I’m excited to give those a try next time. 👍😉🥧❤️🎄💚

    Look for Better Batter. You'll have to order it online. My son was GF years ago and this was by far the best flour we used for pies.

    • @FaithandFlour
      @FaithandFlour  6 месяцев назад

      Thank you! I’ve used Better Batter and you’re right - it’s really good! Last time I checked it was pretty pricey, but it might be worth it for a great pie crust. 😄👍🥧 Merry Christmas! ❤️🎄💚

    Your home is lovely and so is all your cooking and baking. If you're still looking for something to put in that corner where your Christmas tree is now a larger round side table with a larger table lamp would look lovely there. Or a taller fiddle leaf fig plant or a floor lamp. Just a few thoughs. I recently had an empty corner across from our couches and I put an armchair, small round side table next to the chair and a floor lamp behind it and it filled the area beautifully in our living room. I just play around until I like the look. Another corner I put a round side table with a larger table lamp and a fiddle leaf fig plant.

    Hi Robin, I have a pie crust recipe that I used pre-gluten free. We are able to use it with the gfJules "nearly normal" flour blend with great success. My husband who is not gluten free also loves that I can still bake tasty pies for him, lol. You should be able to use it with any family favorite crust recipe. You can either purchase the blend from her site, or she also has a recipe for it with modifications (that is what I use because we can't have the cornstarch in the blend.)
    3 c flour blend
    1 1/4 shortening (I use Spectrum)
    1 tsp salt
    1 egg, well beaten
    1 Tbs apple cider vinegar or vodka
    5 Tbs cold water
    Combine the flour, salt, and shortening and mix until it looks crumbly and pea-sized. Add the beaten egg, vinegar or vodka, and water and blend until just holds together, forming a dough. Roll into a ball and cut in half. Keep one half covered while rolling out the other to fit your pie tin. Use as directed by pie recipe.

    I have the same Nativity set. You have a few more piece that I haven’t added because of storage and space. Hubby has a pretty extensive nutcracker collection that takes a lot of space. I also swapped out or Christmas china last week. I’ve done all I’m going to do indoors. I think he still has some things he wants to do outside.

    Hi, Robin! I watched this while sewing new cushion covers for two of our chairs. At the end of the video, I realized I should've msde some covers out of Christmas fabric or at least some red fabric. I used plain old beige--which is still nice, but a missed opportunity for more Christmas.😆

    I always enjoy your videos! You are very fortunate to have such a lovely home! When my mother made the pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving the mix was always too much for the pie shell. My grandmother did not like the seasonings so my mother put aside a small batch and placed in a small baking dish without the crust also. My grandmother enjoyed just eating the pumpkin mix like pudding. I still to this day do the same thing! I just might try some of those recipes. Also, I did not realize how beautiful Switzerland is. Enjoy your trip and God Bless you and your family.

    It's just so lovely to see the care and love you put into taking care of your home to make it a peaceful and enjoyable space for your family and friends. And all that cooking and baking you do is fantastic. You are a great home maker and such an inspiration.
    Your home looked beautiful with all the lovely decorations. I think you have quite an artistic flair.😊
    Enjoyed your choice of Christmas songs too!😊👍
    It's great that Patrick is very helpful and it's great too that you appreciate each other. The Lord has blessed me with a kind and helpful husband too and I agree with you that it makes such a difference to have a willing helper around. I am very grateful for him.
    What a good idea about the screen saver picture on the screen to help decorate your room! So clever!
    Thanks so much once again for this wonderful video. You film and edit your videos so well. They always look so well put together. You're such a blessing Robin.❤

    I was doing some Christmas decorating along with you and decided to scale back this year. I love the look. I’ve collected Hallmark ornaments for years and only put out my absolute favorite ones. I did the same as you to prep for Thanksgiving and it went off without a hitch and I wasn’t frazzled so I could enjoy the gathering. My husband is wonderful, too, doing the clean up. Can’t wait for your next episodes; keeps me motivated. Merry Christmas.

    Hi Robin! I imagine you had a wonderful Thanksgiving diner with your friends, and that they loved the delicious food you served! It’s nice to have close friends and share experiences and gatherings with them when family is not close by. We were privileged enough to have friends with whom we shared so many things, but sadly, one of them is really sick now, and we don’t get to see each others in the same manner, but we are all still united in prayers!
    I loved your Christmas decorations, and that you kept it more simple this year. It’s nice to change things up from one year to the next! I noticed the artwork above your mantel while you were decorating, and I loved it. Then it changed, and I realized it must be your TV with changing images! It made me laugh! And in this week’s video, Austin was quieter! 🐶 Can’t wait to see your kitchen’s deep cleaning video next Sunday😉… but if you don’t have time to get to it, no problem!!!! I was simply gently teasing you! Have a great week! 😍💕🕸

    What a delight to sit down after a day of cleaning and decorating to watch your video, Robin! I found it both relaxing and inspiring. The music was lovely and I found myself singing along. I have also kept things simple this year, as I continue to struggle with a herniated disc and I'm not supposed to do tasks that involve bending forward (watching Patrick vacuum, and you do simple tasks like loading and unloading the dishwasher, etc. had me a little envious actually. Who would have thought a year ago, I'd be envious of something like that 😃. I think Patrick is great! I also have a very supportive husband, although I never realized how independent I'm determined to be until my recent limitations). This year I am using the snowflake mantel hooks that you recommended last year. I was able to purchase a set but had to wait an entire year to use them. They work great! Thank you for the recommendation. I appreciate all of the care and attention that you put into your videos. Have a great week!

It will cook for 3 hours and then I usually set it to go for one more cycle for a total of 6 hours. That's it! 😉😄💛
