Jessica not only did you make your children a delicious meal, you made memories with them. They may not have realized it, but they also got a cooking lesson as well. You are a great mom and you know what is best and what works for your family.
That looks like an amazing sauce. I'm not sure why people think kids are deprived if they dont eat junk. People have become so unhealthy. Your family is so blessed to have you cook amazing and healthy food for them. Thank you for opening your home and your heart.
100% this! I actually had a pediatric endocrinologist upset and wanted to run test for deficiencies because my children don’t eat processed fortified junk food, but instead get home raised eggs & meats, fruits, some vegetables, and only small amounts of grains. Apparently, I am depriving them of processed, fortified foods.
@@ericpl7227not true at all. Just because you eat healthy doesn’t mean your kids should never see a dr! They still can get sick,they need shots and to check their growth and development
Maybe I’m just missing it but I do not see in other homesteading vlog families what I see in yours: a solid quality of life skill teaching to the children. You Jessica are really allowing and creating opportunities for your kids to practice lifeskills. And I’m a 65 year old grandma. Lifeskills are EVERYTHING. Everything. Well done mama! (I also appreciate that you don’t exploit your kids. I would prefer you don’t show them at all but I won’t nitpick. You doin it right).
Jessica, I was raised in a typical American household. Oxtail was one of the foods I had never heard of. When I got together with my husband who was Cuban my whole culinary world exploded. Oxtails is a delicacy in so many places in the world. It is also one of my favorite meats. So many people don’t understand that the meat they will grind up into hamburger or toss have the best flavors of the whole beef. The fillet is often the most cherished meat in the USA but really it has so little flavor, when compared to something like a skirt steak or an oxtail. Thank you for shared this with people I hope they give it a chance
The first time I had skirt steak was at my in laws house the first time I met them and omgoodness was it amazing. So we started buying it when we wanted steak but didn't want tips (which is our fave) and it was cheap but then everyone starting buying it and the price skyrocketed.
@@scenteddragronflywithmichelle it did the same here also. Skirt steak was super cheap for a while now it is on par with t-bone. I am doing a lot of cooking with the shank, lots of flavor but low and slow for cooking.
I canned kidney beans a few weeks ago for the first time. I put some vinegar in the jars with water overnight as you suggested. My dad ate the jar that didnt seal and said they were the best canned beans he's ever had. Just wanted to say thank you and let you know i appreciate you and your channel. You got me to get into canning which is something i always wanted to try but you gave me the confidence 100%!! My family thanks you. Have a blessed week!!
Jessica, I know you know...there are some people who will say negative things about others because it is something they do not do and/or inspire to do. Be assured that there are many more people who love yours and Adam's lifestyle. I wish I was your neighbor. Even though I somewhat live like you, you and Adam take it to another level 😊. I always learn something from your videos. I always pray for you and other content creators who live lives similar yours. Your children have the best parents in the world. I have had ox tail before. Never knew it was ox tail until I was told what it was. It was good. I was raised in a family who hunted and fished. I guess after eating wild game, ox tail is nothing. 😋
Also- I loved your “three musketeer” little boys at the end in their matching pajamas! The stories you will tell of these three active boys as the years go by!! God bless!
Loved every minute. Your precious, precious children . God's blessings, sweet Jessica and Adam. Can't wait to see Gabe as he continues to embrace his roles in life. Everyone is so very special. I'm very proud of my family and watching grandchildren, etc, start new beginnings.
Jessica, I love recycling throw aways! I curb picked three kings size quilting batts!, in bags sealed, two Heidi Swapp, darling pink "make your pretty pink wall clocks", and a large roll of paintable wall covering. Also 10 new fancy jelly canning jars, two new boxes of lids and a new Ball magnetic lid lifter still in plastic/tags! Best score of 2024.
Morning, you are absolutely correct - the fake dairy cheese and vegan products are all highly processed foods with no nutritional value. I love your recipes and substitutions. Love from Boston!
Hi Jessica!!!! Great to see you this beautiful Sunday Morning! Praying for a wonderful week ahead for you and yours. Happy Home Church Day😊😊😊😊 Your Michigan Fan and Friend Araminta ❤❤❤❤
For cabbage moths, what works best for me is making a stinky herb tea and spraying it on the plants every couple of days. I use whatever stinky herbs that I have - dill, basil, thyme, chamomile, sage, rosemary, marjoram....just make a tea with it, cool it and put it in a spray bottle. I also plant lots of dill and marigolds near the brassicas.
Please stop listening to all the naysayers. You are amazing it hurts my heart to hear how often you talk about the mean people talking about things they dont understand and probably shouldnt have an opinon on anyway. You love your children always strive to make good wholesome meals and an environment where they are learning and growing. The nicest compliment I can think to tell you is I see God in you. Your gentle nature, your humbleness your kindness. Please continue to be a blessing and give yaself grace. Hugsss
It amazes me that people find fault with what you feed your family! You are contentious about everything you do. You’d think people would cheer you on. Obviously, these are people who have never dealt with anaphylactic issues in their homes. Regardless, there, unfortunately, will always be people who would rather find fault than be supportive. Their loss. Your trees are beautiful! I just wanted to take a deep breath and smell those inspiring smells.
Oh, how I've missed your videos! ❤ love your tee shirt collection! 😊 What a great upcycle for your cellar! Your boys did a great job on the shelves. Happy Sunday!
I love the T-shirts too. I am still at least another year and a half to two years out from getting back out of maternity and nursing clothes, as well. This will be my last baby in August, at 43 years old. We thought we were done already. 😂 God has wonderful plans, however. As soon as I saw Jess’s T-shirts, I knew that weaning had begun!
Thank you for showing your recipes; they are so inspiring. Once your brassicas out grow the netting, one tip to keep cabbage moths away, that I have found, is to grow cilantro around the brassica plants and let them bolt. They will provide a canopy over the plants that prevents the moths from landing on the cabbages.
I just want to thank you for telling me about radish pods. I know it’s not in this video, but I figured you would see the message anyway. Here we grow food year round (zone 10b), because I got sick we seeded and transplanted too late so nearly all of my radishes bolted. If you hadn’t introduced me to the pods, I would have feed everything to the chickens. Instead I now have 10 pounds of blanches radish pods in the freezer. Everyone loves them especially in stirr fries. I love them just steamed and sprinkled with salt. I also didn’t panic when a lot of my turnips, broccoli and cauliflower bolted, because I remembered you talking about seed saving. I have just left them, the bees love them and we will have free seeds next year.
Have a very blessed weekend! I’ll be planting potatoes and Berry bushes, flower seeds & comfrey amongst our small orchard with my littlest girls today.
I love that you’re using so much freeze dried veggies. I have celery, onions, garlic, mushrooms and radish that we’ve freeze dried, as well as kale, mustard greens chard and such. I love using them in soups or casseroles. My garlic I sometimes will rehydrate for a few minutes in a bit of water but i just love the way I can have fresh veg any time of the year this way. I’ve always enjoyed your videos and your very creative ways to make healthy meals for your dairy challenged family is fantastic.
That Oxtail soup looked DELICIOUS! I love how you have so successfully adapted recipes from nasty store-bought items into nutritious reasonable facsimiles. The kids are never deprived or left wanting for those things.
The food looked so delicious! I live in North Central Ohio. I want to get into my vegetable beds so badly. The moment I get ready the weather changes. I enjoy my raised vegetable beds. Can’t wait to see how you are planning yours this year! Thank you for all the wonderful ideas and encouragement you provide in your videos! 🌻
Your channel is just flat out my very favorite. I think your food videos are my most favorite though. We moved this year and probably can’t garden this year so I will live vicariously through yours. You are the epitome of the Proverbs 31 woman.
Good afternoon my dear friend, you are an exceptional mom!! Your creativity in the kitchen is unmatched!! Looking forward to next week with you, have a blessed week!
I love to try new things! Our neighbor, she’s in her 80’s, brought us over some poke. Also brought me her cookbook that talks about it! We are going to try “poke salad” for supper!
I'm good with "redundant". It still inspires me. I'm new and have binge watched almost all of your vids. So info overload lol. Seeing things again but in new vids would help me remember and keep ideas at the forefront of my mind. Thanks Jessica!
My husband's German grandmother taught me how to make oxtail's and sauerkraut. The first time I had this I didn't know if I could eat it, but I tried it and it was delicious! She served it with mashed potatoes. Most stores here do not carry oxtails, but I would love to buy some. I love watching your videos. I am Celiac and have lots of food allergies, so glean your recipes.
I Love the T-Shirts sayings 😂 Oxtails are very Good and they are very expensive as well! I Love them 2-3 times a year 😂 Happy Gardening! Everyone have a Blessed Week🙏🏾! From Okc ❤
Jessica, I dont think you realize how much your videos bless ppl!❤ Every Sunday, after church, I look forward to your video and seeing your homestead flourishing, the kids all pitching in and helping, your garden and your kitchen! The love you share with your family is one that seems to be a lost connection these days. So many families are technology driven and they pile up in bedrooms and on couches to play, or see, the latest movie, or game. As a medical coder, I read of providers urging parents to turn off the TV, and the games, and get outside!! On another note, a neighbor of mine years ago had a son that had PKU. He couldnt eat any protein whatsoever. When she made ice cream she used non-dairy coffee creamer. Just wondering if this is something you've tried... As always, thank you for sharing a glimpse of your life with us. Sending love from north Texas❤
Hi Jessica. I watch your videos every week, thank you for the great content. You commented that you want to bring us new recipes every time. I wanted to let you know that it’s definitely okay with me to see repeat recipes. It reminds me of the things I could try and is always inspirational in MY meal prep. Have a wonderful week!
I had 7 children with my husband. I’m was very blessed that all my children were healthy with no allergies. That seems it would be so hard to accommodate but I’m sure you had to get used to it and now you are a pro. Great mama.
I enjoy the dairy free “cheese” sauce. I make mine with soaked cashews, red bell peppers for the color and nutritional yeast. It pours beautifully and if I want to slice for sandwiches I add agar seaweed powder. I have noticed the dairy free and vegan cheese and butter alternatives and it really is just oils. I’ll be trying the canned butter nut squash in mine. Thanks for the great idea.
This brings back so many wonderful childhood memories. I grew up in a 10 family household too. I learnt so much from both my parents. I miss them dearly. You are making great memories while teaching your children. Thanks for sharing.
Jessica you truly have a beautiful family and they are blessed to have such a wonderful mother (and father) I was gifted 3 oxtails several weeks ago and I made the most amazing rich broth which I canned and then I stripped the bones and have canned the meat to either use for ourselves or for our pup. The colour of the broth is so rich and dark and I have already used some for meatballs and then strained it and used it again for stew, both were absolutely amazing. Your video's are my Sunday morning treat!. Lx
I am anxious for the grass to be that green here in Northern Michigan, and anxious to start planting the garden. That tortilla press is amazing!! Your meals look delicious, thanks so much for sharing.
Looked great Ma'am! Well done. Can't believe some people that they would criticize making your own cheese sauce substitute....it looked good as did all the meals.
Jessica! We in rhe Caribbean use a lot of oxtail! So I was so happy to see it being used someone else. I enjoy your videos!! Hello from Trinidad in the Caribbean!!
Another wonderful (but too short) Video, Ms. Jessica. 😊 Thank you for not fast forwarding while explaining the recipes. If people only knew how delicious and healthy it is to eat Oxtails. I absolutely love them! I practically eat them almost everyday. They’re so hard to find, fresh. I buy them locally, in two great Farms I have here in Oberlin, Ohio. Super rich in Collagen! So yummy! I cook them in my Slow Cooker too. It’s the best way to cook them. The dips look delicious. What a great idea for the dairy free nacho sauce. I can smell the Black beans dip from here! Mmmm! May God protect Gabriel always! May He heal him from his allergies. You’re such an amazing mom! Stay blessed!
Another wonderful video. You are such a great Mom, homemaker and a true inspiration for so many! Your videos are so peaceful and calming to watch and we get lots of ideas, recipies, and enjoyment out of watching you and your family. Thank you for sharing! Blessings to all of you! 💙💙💙
I don't know what those people are talking about feeding your children vegan cheese. You have beautiful healthy looking children, all a child needs is love fresh air and good food which you give them in abundance. Love your videos I learn something new from them every time I watch them. I guess at 72 years old your never too old to learn.
Oxtail soup is fabulous!! My mom fixed oxtail soup often, and she put barley into it, as well as a few potatoes. My family was not very well off financially, but we ate well cuz' mom could cook anything! Stuffed beef heart (stuffed with bread stuffing) was another favorite! LOVE your videos!!
Oxtail is absolutely delicious! Who would think that it is disgusting? No one l know!❤❤ you are brilliant, BTW. God bless you all and ☦️ many prayers. Nurse 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister ☦️
This was a really cool video watching meals made from scratch .can't find many like this on RUclips.i enjoyed this very much . I'm planning on watching more and sharing your videos.
Hey, don’t share the secret of oxtails! LOL! They are sooo expensive now because more people are eating them. During the holidays they went as high $45-$60 per tails. Crazy! Love your videos because you explain everything. No worries about redundancy at all because your cooking, canning, gardening, and food storage while being frugal wonderful.
I'm glad you mentioned how to use the cow's tail because I have one and was wondering how to cook it. Thanks for the inspiration, by the way, it is totally ok to share things you made already, it is still good inspiration!
You are such a loving wife and mom, and take wonderful care of your family. My mom made everything from scratch, and my siblings and I did the same. We’re empty nesters now, so cooking is not the same for us. Our youngest son is a chef, so he does a lot of the cooking for us. Keep doing what you’re doing, and don’t let anyone make you feel less than.❤️❤️❤️
You know Jessica it doesn't matter if it's meals you have shown before.. we all enjoy your content so much that that's irrelevant! You do a fantastic job juggling so much and so many! 🤣Best wishes from NZ 🇳🇿
I loved this video! You always give me some things to think about--how I could make my own things instead of storebought or do-without! I also got out into the garden this week. I planted my cabbage seedlings, onions, broccoli seedlings and Brussels sprouts seedlings. I also always have a hard time with cabbage moths, so this year, as soon as I planted, I covered them with bug netting. And I covered my strawberries as well with bug netting/bunny netting. I'd like to eat some of my strawberries! As soon as I finished with the net, a cabbage moth flew through! 😅😅
I grew up with Irish parents & grandparents so nothing was wasted in our family’s = from the head to tail can be used (history of great famine) We regularly had cooked liver, roasted stuffed hearts, fried chicken liver , leftover meat made into meat terrine ( we didn’t call it that back then think of meatloaf) boiled or baked & sliced for lunch with bread & pickles, great way to use up the small cuts of uncooked meat - loaf pan then layer the mixed uncooked meat,herbs,spices packed in well. Put a weight on & leave it in fridge for 12 hours, wrap in foil & slowly bake until cooked through (2-3 hours) leave to cool and then slice 👍 Ox tail is highly prized in most European / Caribbean countries, full of flavour & great source of collagen bone marrow. If you want to try something new try Jamaican oxtail recipe it’s amazing. Goat meat is another great source of quality lean meat & you get the milk which is fantastic for a non dairy family. My Nanna said that the only thing that couldn’t be used on a pig was the squeak lol
Just a sidenote that people with an actual dairy allergy often still cannot have goat milk, or any other kind of milk from a mammal. I believe Jefss has spoken to this in a previous video that he is anaphylactic to milk, period.
@@RestorationAcresTN absolutely majority of people who have total allergies regarding all Mammal milk will know this. Not everyone has the milk allergy
I adore you. There is no other like you. You are hard working, inspirational, kind….. and you teach this to your children. I would like to read a book authored by you in your spare time! (😂)
Catching up on your last few videos this weekend, and you are just as inspiring as ever! Love you meal ideas. I am looking forward to following along with you this spring and summer. My greenhouse is burting at the seams, and I am itching to get everything planted!
Your recipes as always were super special, healthy and original Jessica. I always marvel at the number of substitutes you can came up with. The amount of education your children get, and their level of different skills at such young ages is incredible. I was so tickled to see the younger men making new Shelves for you. They turned out so nice. Another happy Sunday with your family. Be blessed this week and thanks for sharing.❤
Jessica not only did you make your children a delicious meal, you made memories with them. They may not have realized it, but they also got a cooking lesson as well. You are a great mom and you know what is best and what works for your family.
Thank you so much for the encouragement ❤️

@@RestorationAcresTN that's because healthy kids don't need to go to the doctor! How's that "poor" doctor going to pay for their golf game now?!
😱
@@ericpl7227not true at all. Just because you eat healthy doesn’t mean your kids should never see a dr! They still can get sick,they need shots and to check their growth and development
Jess, I have to say how tickled and pleasantly surprised I am to see that you own that “don’t be a salty heifer” T-shirt! You are my kind of person ❤️
😂 we owned a particularly salty heifer one year and I got that shirt thinking of her. 😂
Same-same!
My mouth was watering from the oxtail soup. Those bones truly make the best broth

Thank you so much!
@threerivershomestead you are welcome I have watched since you 6th baby and they grow so fast. HANNAH is a cutie. You feel like family
your little boy eating pancakes warmed my heart
Jessica you truly have a beautiful family and they are blessed to have such a wonderful mother (and father) I was gifted 3 oxtails several weeks ago and I made the most amazing rich broth which I canned and then I stripped the bones and have canned the meat to either use for ourselves or for our pup. The colour of the broth is so rich and dark and I have already used some for meatballs and then strained it and used it again for stew, both were absolutely amazing. Your video's are my Sunday morning treat!. Lx
TY. You are a busy woman and love all your food tips.
You are so welcome!
I am anxious for the grass to be that green here in Northern Michigan, and anxious to start planting the garden. That tortilla press is amazing!! Your meals look delicious, thanks so much for sharing.
Your organizational skills are incredible! I wish I was more like you! lol❤
That sauce for nachos is brilliant!
I love how creative you are in your meal planning. All of it looked so yummy!
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for sharing your family!!!!!❤
Thanks for watching!
Looked great Ma'am! Well done. Can't believe some people that they would criticize making your own cheese sauce substitute....it looked good as did all the meals.
Jessica! We in rhe Caribbean use a lot of oxtail! So I was so happy to see it being used someone else. I enjoy your videos!! Hello from Trinidad in the Caribbean!!
I love homemade tortillas, my mom used to make them for us. Love the demonstration of Oxtail soup, yum
Thank you as always for your family videos! God Bless!
What a delightful image of the three little boys at the end. Such a wonderful family. Thank you for sharing
You are so kind
Everybody waits 😊 for a Sunday treat ❤ So good 🌷
Thank you for a video for us🤗
Oh 😊 and I love the Tshirt with Mendeleiv chart of all chemical elements ❤
Another wonderful (but too short) Video, Ms. Jessica. 😊
Thank you for not fast forwarding while explaining the recipes.
If people only knew how delicious and healthy it is to eat Oxtails.
I absolutely love them!
I practically eat them almost everyday.
They’re so hard to find, fresh.
I buy them locally, in two great Farms I have here in Oberlin, Ohio.
Super rich in Collagen!
So yummy!
I cook them in my Slow Cooker too.
It’s the best way to cook them.
The dips look delicious.
What a great idea for the dairy free nacho sauce.
I can smell the Black beans dip from here! Mmmm!
May God protect Gabriel always!
May He heal him from his allergies.
You’re such an amazing mom!
Stay blessed!
Everything looks delicious especially the soup! Thank you
Good Morning and Sunday daybreak prayers for your beautiful family. Love having your home inspiration to start my Sunday!
Thank you 😊
Great video to have with my Sunday morning breakfast❤
Have a great day!
You’re such an incredible mom and homemaker. Tfs!
Love your family and your food videos!!!
Thank you so much!!
Another wonderful video. You are such a great Mom, homemaker and a true inspiration for so many! Your videos are so peaceful and calming to watch and we get lots of ideas, recipies, and enjoyment out of watching you and your family. Thank you for sharing! Blessings to all of you! 💙💙💙
Thank you so much!
Hannah is getting around! Look at her walk! The boys did a great job on the selves! As always your food looks so nutrition & yummy!😊
😊 thank you
Girl you could bake a shoe and I'd still watch ALL of your videos 😂❤ love you from central Illinois
I don't know what those people are talking about feeding your children vegan cheese. You have beautiful healthy looking children, all a child needs is love fresh air and good food which you give them in abundance. Love your videos I learn something new from them every time I watch them. I guess at 72 years old your never too old to learn.
Thank you for the kindness 😊
I too am looking forward to our meals with our own homegrown fruits and vegetables!
♥️👍🤓
Oxtail soup is fabulous!! My mom fixed oxtail soup often, and she put barley into it, as well as a few potatoes. My family was not very well off financially, but we ate well cuz' mom could cook anything! Stuffed beef heart (stuffed with bread stuffing) was another favorite! LOVE your videos!!
That soup looked delicious 😋 You look amazing Jessica (pretty new dress too?) Looking forward to all your gardening and preserving videos 👩🏻🌾
Oxtail is absolutely delicious! Who would think that it is disgusting? No one l know!❤❤ you are brilliant, BTW. God bless you all and ☦️ many prayers. Nurse 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister ☦️
I have that same salty heifer shirt, it makes me laugh when I see others wearing it too. 😊
I cant believe how your children have grown!! ❤❤❤
Coming from South Africa, Oxtail is a traditional dish we all love! It's the comfort food my mom use to make. Love it.
Jessica I love your videos it’s give good information on making food from scratch.
Thank you for sharing your life, family, & plans.😊
Thanks for watching!
I feel the same way about shanks! Often overlooked and so delicious!! Osso Bucco is our favorite way to eat those.
Amazing ideas thank you!! I love how you can take simple and few ingredients and turn into a nutritious dish for your family. You are so talented!
Waste not want not! Beautiful family thanks for sharing your process. I am dairy free and really enjoy seeing that part of your meals.
You are so welcome!
Jessica- you always amaze me with your love of your beautiful family. Love this! By the way you are looking great.
Thank you so much!
love the home caned stuff so good
This was a really cool video watching meals made from scratch .can't find many like this on RUclips.i enjoyed this very much . I'm planning on watching more and sharing your videos.
Thank you so much 🤗
Good job mama! Thanks for sharing ❤
You're my hero sister! God's blessing over you and your beautiful family!!!
Thank you for the kindness ☺️
Hey, don’t share the secret of oxtails! LOL! They are sooo expensive now because more people are eating them. During the holidays they went as high $45-$60 per tails. Crazy! Love your videos because you explain everything. No worries about redundancy at all because your cooking, canning, gardening, and food storage while being frugal wonderful.
I'm glad you mentioned how to use the cow's tail because I have one and was wondering how to cook it. Thanks for the inspiration, by the way, it is totally ok to share things you made already, it is still good inspiration!
You are so welcome!
You are such a loving wife and mom, and take wonderful care of your family. My mom made everything from scratch, and my siblings and I did the same. We’re empty nesters now, so cooking is not the same for us. Our youngest son is a chef, so he does a lot of the cooking for us. Keep doing what you’re doing, and don’t let anyone make you feel less than.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
You know Jessica it doesn't matter if it's meals you have shown before.. we all enjoy your content so much that that's irrelevant! You do a fantastic job juggling so much and so many! 🤣Best wishes from NZ 🇳🇿
I loved this video! You always give me some things to think about--how I could make my own things instead of storebought or do-without! I also got out into the garden this week. I planted my cabbage seedlings, onions, broccoli seedlings and Brussels sprouts seedlings. I also always have a hard time with cabbage moths, so this year, as soon as I planted, I covered them with bug netting. And I covered my strawberries as well with bug netting/bunny netting. I'd like to eat some of my strawberries! As soon as I finished with the net, a cabbage moth flew through! 😅😅
Oh, no 😅
I grew up with Irish parents & grandparents so nothing was wasted in our family’s = from the head to tail can be used (history of great famine)
We regularly had cooked liver, roasted stuffed hearts, fried chicken liver , leftover meat made into meat terrine ( we didn’t call it that back then
think of meatloaf) boiled or baked & sliced for lunch with bread & pickles, great way to use up the small cuts of uncooked meat - loaf pan then layer the mixed uncooked meat,herbs,spices packed in well. Put a weight on & leave it in fridge for 12 hours, wrap in foil & slowly bake until cooked through (2-3 hours) leave to cool and then slice 👍
Ox tail is highly prized in most European / Caribbean countries, full of flavour & great source of collagen bone marrow. If you want to try something new try Jamaican oxtail recipe it’s amazing.
Goat meat is another great source of quality lean meat & you get the milk which is fantastic for a non dairy family.
My Nanna said that the only thing that couldn’t be used on a pig was the squeak lol
Just a sidenote that people with an actual dairy allergy often still cannot have goat milk, or any other kind of milk from a mammal. I believe Jefss has spoken to this in a previous video that he is anaphylactic to milk, period.
@@RestorationAcresTN absolutely majority of people who have total allergies regarding all Mammal milk will know this. Not everyone has the milk allergy
Thank you for the ideas!!
That looks like a great cheese substitute recipe! Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a good week!
Thank you! You too!
I had Oxtail soup as a child and it's absolutely delicious!
Thank you for sharing your meal preps. It really inspires me to try making new dishes.
You’re amazing Jessica. I look so forward to Sundays ♥️♥️
I adore you. There is no other like you. You are hard working, inspirational, kind….. and you teach this to your children. I would like to read a book authored by you in your spare time! (😂)
You are so kind
Catching up on your last few videos this weekend, and you are just as inspiring as ever! Love you meal ideas. I am looking forward to following along with you this spring and summer. My greenhouse is burting at the seams, and I am itching to get everything planted!
Your recipes as always were super special, healthy and original Jessica. I always marvel at the number of substitutes you can came up with. The amount of education your children get, and their level of different skills at such young ages is incredible. I was so tickled to see the younger men making new Shelves for you. They turned out so nice. Another happy Sunday with your family. Be blessed this week and thanks for sharing.❤
Thank you for the kindness!
I love the meals you make! It inspires me to eat healthier! Thanks for another great video!
You are so welcome!
