There will never be another generation like them, knew how to survive in any situation and understood the true meaning of family. I sure miss my grandparents and great and uncles, too.
This reminded me of the stories my mom use to share. She was raised on a farm and when the depression hit she said that as far as the food aspect she really didn't feel any loss. Grandma's garden, her canning and the cows kept them pretty satisfied. It's good to not forget about the depression and learn from what our ancestors went through. As you said Tessie history always repeats itself.
I sometimes use my canner as a stockpot too. When I am making hamburger vegetable soup, chicken and dumplings or cabbage and kielbasa. Have a blessed day tomorrow.
It is good to bring the old ways back. They were wise people. A little food can feed a lot of people. I find it hard to make small amounts of food even though my husband and I are alone now. Have a great evening everyone!
You Are Right Julie. People Were Wise In The Old Days-- They Had To Be Or They Wouldn't Survive. I Think One Of The Problems These Days Is That We Are SO Used To Being Able To Go To The Shop To Get Something And There Is So Much Choice -- WAY TOO MUCH That Some People Will Find It Much Harder If Times Get Really Tough, Don't You Agree Dear Friend 😊, Blessings, Andrea
Tessie, My Grandmother and Mother both went through the great depression the stories they could tell off how nothing was thrown away they saved it all and made do with what they had it's survival :-) Love you my Sister :-)God Bless You and ken :-)
I made a huge Dutch oven full of soup today. Chicken, wild rice, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, peas, corn, tomatoes, potatoes and I even threw in some egg noodles, and seasonings of course. It turned out super yummy. Yours looks yummy too. 😋🍲🧅🥔🥕🌽🧄🍅 I froze a bunch for later. Have a good evening everyone. 🕯⭐❤
Another idea for meals: I save leftovers in the freezer for future stews/soups. I usually have 2 containers in the freezer, 1 for beef and 1 for chicken. I call mine Mulligan stew or Hodge Podge. They never taste the same, and sometimes I only need to add in one can and some spices. My husband doesn't really like soup/stews, but our son will eat it with me. Sometimes, I make it for my lunch and put leftovers in freezer bowls for future lunch meals for me, as I stay at home.
The Band Alabama sang a song Tessie that included the lines " somebody told us the stock market fell, but we were so poor that we couldn't tell". I have always found this line telling.❤
And there was another song, not sure who sang it but it went like this. Don't have ... and don't have... but I have indoor plumbing! now we take it for granted but it really is something to be grateful for.
My parents lived in the city during the depression (1929-1941), and I remember my mom and her sister talking about how neighbor's, and other's, stole from their garden's. It's a misconception that everyone back then worked hard and was honest. Today it would be much, much worse, since back in 1936, when my oldest sister was born (I was the youngest, born in 1952), the population of the US was about 128 million, and in 2020 the population was 331 million, which has probably increased by another 20-30 million by now. It's one of the reason's I live on my rural acreage.
My family here on the west coast from islands near Seattle to here in Northern California, actually did well and do well foodwise. My Instant Pot is used 3-4 days a week which saves me time and gives us healthy inexpensive meals. Much of what I do I learned from my parents and other relatives. Like having a huge vegetable garden with a large variety of vegetables, along with fruit trees and bushes. Wild food foraging too! Chickens for eggs, bees for honey. Going fishing for tuna, salmon, cod, sole, and getting Dungeness crab in the evening at low tide and gathering clams and mussels as well as getting a deer every fall was and is still the norm. And I also fish for mountain trout here in the Sierras. Tessie do you ever fish or eat fish?????? 🙂 Like my parents I give my raw honey to a friend who gives me raw cow and goat milk. In the fall when I harvest wild mushrooms, I share with a friend who then shares her home grown turmeric. Another friend has a walnut and a pistachio tree and I have an almond and an olive tree, so we share with one another. Have friends who will buy two starter pigs that a friend will raise and then the friend who raised the pigs gets one of the pigs when they harvest the pigs. Have helped friends process their meat chickens and in exchange for helping, I get all the feet, for making chicken stock. This spring I shared some asparagus starts and got some artichoke plants. Have shared my rhubarb starts in exchange for some elderberry plants.
Good Morning Tessie, Sisters, Brothers, and Friends, Wish you all a wonderful blessed Monday filled with Gods Joy and Happiness :-) Remember to pray for one another and for all around the world :-) God Bless You ! Love you all :-) Keep Smiling be safe :-)
I remember stories mom would tell how her father would leave the house when the coal mines would shut down for the summer with other men and jump on a train to St. Louis to work for a week. They would sleep in people's yards or garages and jump back on the train at the end of the week with a little money in his pocket. Moms brothers would run the place while he was gone. Grandma fed the hobos because she knew someone was feeding grandpa. They had an enormous garden, I remember it from when I was young with a bunch of fruit trees. Same during WW2, all the families in the neighborhood worked together because the men went to war. She said she could still hear the sobbing when someone got bad news. She still thought of them as the Good old days because everyone pulled together.
My grandmother was a very young girl during the Great Depression (born in 1929), and she would tell stories of how a man from church, who owned a grocery store, would bring them a box of food each week. You're so right, Tessie; people did help one another more back then. I think we had stronger communities and a sense of community; today, we're more isolated, at least that's what I see here. These are my favorite soups to make; I love looking in the pantry, freezer, and fridge to see what I have and what needs to be used, then deciding on how I can put it all together. That looked delicious and like comfort food; I know your family must have loved it. 😊
Very nicely put together, Tessie! I hope you're able to do some more videos about how people in the past, got by. Maybe during WWII and all the rationing, or entertaining on a budget, from the past. IDK🤷🏻♀️ just throwing ideas out there. Anyway, I really enjoyed this episode and all the history, of the time!
I'm so glad you like it because just about every video is going to be like this format I totally changed the format of making my videos and I'm really having so much fun
That looks like a yummy soup. My dad was considered old when I was born at 45 and he told me during the Great Depression he was a teenager. His family was better off than some. He was adopted by the Kirklands. His name was Parker originally. I found some Parkers in my husband's family tree book. It's a small world.
That soup looks delicious! I am going to make some for my family. I loved the clips of the old days. It reminds of my grandma and grampy. I remember the stories they told.
Food had the first place...She was respected, appreciated...She was like some gold...Her value was underlined, too, during the wars...People need to find back memories to become better...Very good work, and thanks to share these moments. 😊❤
I make a lot of different kinds of soups, some have recipes and some are just "clean out the frig and pantry soups." I freeze the left overs, great for when you do.t feel good!
Soup looks good. I made a stir fry from the garden with onions, green beans,cut up zucchini,carrots,peas ,corn,bell pepper and fried cut up spam. Put it all over rice with soy and teriyaki sauce…so fun to cook from the garden. I got my green beans all bagged and frozen .Also got all my goji berries picked washed and in the dryer…it’s been a great day today just been at home…I clean other peoples homes other days so when I get to be home I’m in Heaven. Thanks Tessie…another great video❤
Great content!! This is what this channel was founded on and why it grew to 117,000 subscribers...great to see these low cost meal videos coming back!!! 🙂
Much appreciated! I didn't tell anybody but from this day forward all of my videos are of this type of format it takes me twice as long to make them but I put in my heart and soul into each video
Great advice re living off what you grow & a sense of community. ❤. As a gardener tho, you need to water your plot more often. It always looks bone dry & doesn't seem to yield much. Regular watering is vital or your crop will be poor. ❤
Good evening 🙂 your soup looks delicious and I am sure you will make homemade bread to go along with it! Your bread always looks so YUMMY! Have a lovely evening!
Pastor John Neider (radio preacher) warned years ago that if there was ever another depression we would be in big trouble. He shared that in the depression you grew peas, I grew another veggie and we traded and stated the sense of community was so different then. Not only do we rely on others to grow our food now, some people have no community. He had statistics about how many families no longer gather at the dinner table much less share your table with others. I was in my 20s then. I am now 60. That message changed my life not only did we have consistent family dinner we made sure to make ourselves available to community. This is where the Amish and Mennonite also have it right … community. Looking after one another. I didn’t adopt everything from my Anabaptist friends other than a strong sense of serving community and more self sufficient traits in case of disaster. Your channel has reminded me I need to put those skills back in place. Got lazy out of convenience- your channel challenges me Sista- Friend!!!!
The way people had to plow back then my hands with horses makes me appreciate what I have now. I really like knowing these things because I know we’re gonna need this very soon. Thank you for sharing with us. Blessings to you.❤🙏🏻
Good Evening Tessie , Sister s, Brothers, and Friends, Be sure to hit that like button Tessie will appreciate it Greatly also be sure to watch all the ads :-)
tray1813....Same here. My grandmother had work dresses, everyday dresses and dressing up dresses! Never wore pants( they were for the men!) And always wore a corset.....loafers in the garden, and chunky heeled, lace up black shoes for everything else, everyday and dressing up! And always wore a hat when dressed up, with a hat pin! I can see her like it was yesterday, but she left us in 1973! Good memories!😊❤
Yes. I'm 71. My grandma on my mom's side wore only dresses. She saved her newest always to be used for her funeral. She had a massive coronary artery attack, surprisingly survived, an d lived with us 14 years afterward. She put on a clean dress, hat and for many years a pair of gloves to go to the doctors office once a year. She work shoes that tied and had about an inch or perhaps more heels, bulky heels, not pointy. She was a lady. She could get very fussy, grumpy in last years. She out lived all her peers, family and friends. I love her. I had toddled over to her when I was just learning to walk and talk. I said, "Ninny". She accepted that silly name. That's what my sister and I always called her.
@tray1813 I'm 70 also. And my grandmother always wore shoes with heels, I don't think she ever wore flat soled shoes. Even her slippers had a high heel to them.
Hobo soup, Hobo stew, make a big pot whenever ingridents are piling up. In the freezer. Any leftover vegies are kept in freezer bag vegie. I collect😊beef gravy, broth leftovers and collect in a bag ready forthe pot 10:00
I love seeing views of your home! I know this is about " great depression" recipe, but it made my heart glad to see your home. This week I did a pantry challenge making "Everything muffins"and lentil soup.
loved seeing all the pictures from the depression years; the younger generation doesn't understand what our parents went through in the 30's. It was so difficult but they coped and prepared. Something the youth now don't seem to connect with or take seriously.
Wow! That was a stunning video. You made that video Tessie? It was beautiful! The Photos, the Music, the Recipe, the Narrating. Excellent! You could enter that into a local film Festival! Bravo for you! You did a good job Tessie! Your voice was so calm. Loved this video!
Yes thank you so much I did make everything myself and guess what just about all of my videos from today on out are going to be like this it takes me twice the time but I'm making videos that I enjoy this isn't just one video this is the start of all of my videos being like this
@@HomesteadTessie You have become a Professional Film Maker. Your views should increase exponentially. Thanks, for the amazing amount of work you put into this video. I loved it! Wow! There was alot of thought and planning involved. Thank you!
Tessie, We Have Lost The Sense Of Community That Used To Be So Strong And I Agree With You-- I Think That The Internet Has Alot To Do With That. Do You Notice That Hardly Anyone Was Overweight When Times Were Hard! Fresh Food Is Better For Us In Every Way! Blessings To You and Kenny, Andrea
One of the problems now is disrespect for other people and belongings and opinions. This is global Have blessed Sunday. Nice video, recipe, music and pictures Very enjoyable. I love barley
Oh Tessie that looks delicious. Especially the cabbage. My husband hates the smell of cabbage cooking. Liver the same way. Man don't know what's good! Lol
To get my now ex husband and teen son to eat soup, .I used lsrger chunks if meat, if they coukd easiky see it they mirehappily ate it, ince they git used to esting soup,.i coukd reduce the amount and size of meat, they were both afraid of being hungry sfter esting s bowl if soup,also had to teach them to eat soup with fresh homade made bread, helos fill uo the tummy😊
Hi Tessie. I just found your channel, love what you do. My grandmother told me to keep a gallon baggie in the freezer and fill it with anything left after meals (maily vegetables) even if it's only a teaspoon of stuff. When the bag gets full enough it's time for soup. I have done this for years and it makes good soup. Thanks for your suggestions.
Super congrats for seriously working through some of the older food among your stores during your personal lean and savings time. The absolutely LAST thing you want to do is have to toss food when in a period of lean; well any time but especially when you are or are feeling lean. Once thing you can do with those whole tomatoes is turn them into crushed tomatoes by simply crushing in the palm of one hand and through your fingers.
TY! Sis Tessie
I remember being told the story * Stone soup* in school, then we made it 😂
Lol, I remember that, too lol.
Saving the bits and pieces for soups and stews sure helps stay on budget. Love my slow cooker. Thanks for the video.
Was hard times i am sure no doubt...but ppl was happier healthier and FAMILY WAS FAMILY!!!
Making due. It’s a lost art. I have a feeling it will be known again unfortunately. God Bless.
I miss my parents, grandparents and the way life used to be. 😢

Claire of (Great Depression Cooking with Claire) said "In the depression we did anything to save anything." Most people today can't even grasp that.

loved seeing all the pictures from the depression years; the younger generation doesn't understand what our parents went through in the 30's. It was so difficult but they coped and prepared. Something the youth now don't seem to connect with or take seriously.
Wow! That was a stunning video. You made that video Tessie? It was beautiful! The Photos, the Music, the Recipe, the Narrating. Excellent! You could enter that into a local film Festival! Bravo for you! You did a good job Tessie! Your voice was so calm. Loved this video!
Yes thank you so much I did make everything myself and guess what just about all of my videos from today on out are going to be like this it takes me twice the time but I'm making videos that I enjoy this isn't just one video this is the start of all of my videos being like this
@@HomesteadTessie You have become a Professional Film Maker. Your views should increase exponentially. Thanks, for the amazing amount of work you put into this video. I loved it! Wow! There was alot of thought and planning involved. Thank you!
Tessie, We Have Lost The Sense Of Community That Used To Be So Strong And I Agree With You-- I Think That The Internet Has Alot To Do With That.
Do You Notice That Hardly Anyone Was Overweight When Times Were Hard! Fresh Food Is Better For Us In Every Way!
Blessings To You and Kenny,

Hi Tessie. I just found your channel, love what you do.
My grandmother told me to keep a gallon baggie in the freezer and fill it with anything left after meals (maily vegetables) even if it's only a teaspoon of stuff. When the bag gets full enough it's time for soup. I have done this for years and it makes good soup. Thanks for your suggestions.
Super congrats for seriously working through some of the older food among your stores during your personal lean and savings time. The absolutely LAST thing you want to do is have to toss food when in a period of lean; well any time but especially when you are or are feeling lean. Once thing you can do with those whole tomatoes is turn them into crushed tomatoes by simply crushing in the palm of one hand and through your fingers.
