- Today we're cooking on the wood cookstove and making my mom's delicious spaghetti sauce with some soft french bread. It's also snowing like crazy today, so I made some chewy maple snow candy. I hope you enjoy coming along with me.
The spaghetti Sauce recipe is to come shortly.

Hey friends, I'm sorry today's video is a day late - the weekend was busy. I hope you enjoy it and all have a wonderful day!

I've just discovered your channel, and wanted to follow, but it's *riddled* with adverts, every few seconds - do you know why?
Brand-new subscriber here; just found you!! You are FABULOUS!! We just turned 80 yrs young and w/just 3 kids we didn't put up as much as you do, (it was an even split between freezing & canning) but there are certain things that we'll never stop putting up: e.g., corn, chili sauce, apple sauce, tomato products...plus our own bread. Thx for the peek into your Life - I'm off to explore your other vids now (alternating w/Season 5 of The Crown!!). Also looking forward to your family Cook Book...
Bonjour Chelsea Bravo mais la baguette francaise c est plus fin tu nous a confectionné un gros Baguette de pain
qui d'ailleurs on ne mange pas le pain avec des pâtes ca fait grossir SVP ?
On le mange bien cuit avec de la croute pour la tartine au beurre le matin au petit-déj 🤔

One thing I never expected to hear ANYONE say is that -14? -anything was perfect weather. Even if that is Celcius, it would be 6.8 degrees Farenheit. That is crazy cold for me. Weather in the teens (F) causes us issues down in the southern U.S. as nothing is built to handle temps that low. And there are no snow plows that I know about. We just stay home until it melts. I did buy snow boots because it snowed a foot here last year.
It may hit -1 here Wednesday night and that will be the coldest anywhere I've lived in 65 years! Usually, I can keep the garden going through December and sometimes through spring (by using heavy frost covers). But I'm planning to harvest almost everything tomorrow and start canning it.
What a fun video, sharing the maple candy-just like in the little house on the prairie books, and telling us about your lighted sledding hill!
You are one great mum ive said it before but i love the way you both look after your family.
A quick tip for freezing tomato paste. Grab a cookie sheet and line it with parchment paper. Use a tablespoon cookie scoop and scoop dollops of tomato past until you have a full cookie sheet full then pop the sheet into the freezer until frozen then transfer into a freezer bag. Most recipes call for a couple tablespoons so it makes it easy to grab out two frozen scoops of past.
I grew up in NH and I remember my Mom making snow taffy! My grandparents are from Canada, so I'm appreciating this channel.
You my dear friend are an absolute joy and highlight to my day! These past few videos are a real treat I for one can go "away" from my daily burdens and just enjoy the moments with you and your "joy" for life is just soooooooo evident! I am tending my Grant today he works at Digby hosp every day for 2 12 years and has avoided the big C till two days ago.I am praying I dont get it...made lovely huge "Kitchen sink" soup...so much garlic the virus will be running! have a great day ,sweet girl...Bonnie in Yarmouth
You, my dear friend make me smile every time you comment. Much love!
I’m a new subscriber, watched your pantry tour and going back through your other videos, just love the way you teach in the videos. Inspired me so much to start baking and canning again. Thank you so much for sharing.
Welcome!!
Hi I'm the same, just discovered this channel. I'm a vegetarian what ever she cook's I replace meat with bean's. My diet has become a pleasure not a problem. I love all the tips and tricks. I've followed other homestead channels this and "modern homestead alaska" I've found to be the best version of information.
I grew up in Wisconsin and my Mom would bring in a bucket of clean snow and put vanilla and syrup in it (not hot) to make iced snow cream. You brought back some fun memories of special snow filled days. I loved today's video as it was filled with different things. The sauce looks great and I will make that asap. Thanks!
The snow Ice is a nice idea....but have you ever wondered why your car is dirty after a rainfall, even so you just washed the car an hour earlier and it's not been driven anywhere inbetween? There is lots of dust from windy prairies, and compounds, like emission effluents from smoke stacks, wildfire debries, being kicked around in the atmosphere coming from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Montana, North Dakota blown over to Minnesota and Wisconsin. I travelled those areas quite a bit for my job (now retired), and sometimes the sky would literally turn into dusk-like gray and it would make me weeze while driving in my car. Recommend ya'll think about whether to consume it, those particles are also enveloped in the snow.

Sure enough, when shoveling the barn roofs there were different colors in the layers ! Black volcanic, red dust, yellow?
Made me think back then of our wind currents.
@@tannenbaumgirl3100 we all eat a peck of dirt before we die.
So glad to hear you're putting squash in your sauce! I do that as well and find we like it so much more than without it. It's a great way to use up extra squash and give the sauce more flavor. Thank you for sharing your day in the kitchen!
That stove tho 💥 I love how your cast iron pans are hanging to.Squash are so underrated in my opinion, they can be added to so many recipes, cooking and baking, if you haven’t grown Red Kuri, you really should, They cook so fast, they’re super nutty and the skin is soft and edible. West Coast Seeds sells them, they also store really well. Tin foil over the sauce pot, absolutely brilliant 🤣 Another awesome video 🌿
Red Kuri is my favorite and go to for creamy squash soup. I grew up on wood stove cooking/baking in Germany. It's nice and efficient if you have wood/coal, but its temperamental, you really need to understand how much wood/coal to control heat, and if you're baking a cake, how to combine heat and time, and be ok that it might not turn out perfect. It's also messy...woodsy residue, dust, dirt from stacking outdoors, ash, and of course scrubbing and treating the oven plate itself at the end of the day or once it's cooled sufficiently. We always kept a big pot of water on top, to keep humidity up in the kitchen and adjoining rooms. And of course, you either have to buy the wood, or cut and chop it from your property, stack it, and dry it for at least year to reduce moisture in the wood itself. No doubt, it's a novelty, but it can be cheap energy if you have the wood, and don't mind the effort. Personally, I have fond memories of that period and that type of cooking, I can imagine myself having one for maybe my outdoor kitchen...something to think about. There are splashguards you can purchase cheaply....Aluminum foil if used with acidic foods like tomato sauce, will oxidize the alu-foil, even the steam will oxidize it and the drippings will end up in your meal...don't really recommend using foil for any cooking, except when wrapping it with Parchment Paper first and then covering it with alu-foil to contain what it is your baking. Hope this helps.
Your family is so blessed to have you ❤️ wish I was eating that supper with yas. 😋
Good morning Little Mountain Ranch. That looks absolutely delicious - the perfect cozy Autumn supper - but that's of course something to be expected from a talented offgrid woman such as yourself. . TYFS that recipe and have a wonderful Tuesday. 😉😉
I'm absolutely so proud i have found your channel , I'm trying too start a small pantry stock up we don't have a lot of room bc we live in a camper since my husband was diagnosed with inoperable incurable chordoma brain cancer and living small lowers our bills and I can keep it extremely sanitized 🙏
I agree, I love the buttercup squash. I use a canning lid to scrape out the seeds & strings when I clean a squash it works great. I love your wood cook stove. Have a blessed day, we all enjoy your cooking.👼🙏💕
Martha is beautiful. I'm sure it's more work but what a blessing. Love the goggles. Another great video. Thanks for suggestion on adding squash. Always like ways to sneak in stuff on my picky eaters.
I love your log chicken coop. It reminds me of the log tobacco barns people used to use here in North Carolina.
Love the idea of putting squash in my spaghetti sauce. Busy day for me today making cabbage rolls to be baked then frozen for winter quick meals. My husband works out of town on occasion and takes frozen and canned meals for quick nutrious meals after a long cold day on the job. Keep warm stay safe.
I freeze my leftover tomato paste in an ice cube tray, then remove them and store in freezer bag, easy proportioned for future use and meals. The most fashionable Onion prep ever!🤣
A few months ago I made carmelized onions to can. When my eyes started burning, I got the idea that maybe onion juice was absorbing into my skin and causing the burning. I washed my hands and put on disposable gloves. I had no further problems. 😊
Omg, good to know!
Oh my gosh, I love the goggles!! I am definitely going to have to try this. I bet it's awesome. And twofold awesome will be to watch the reaction on my husband's face when he walks in on me chopping onions with those on. Looks like a beautiful day. I don't know how you do it all, but thanks for the videos. They are very uplifting.
I have some hamburger floating in the chest freezer that is definitely going to be made into your mom’s spaghetti sauce ❤ and can’t wait for the cookbook!
Chelsea, I grew up with a cook stove/wood stove, and there's nothing better than homemade biscuits right from the stove plastered with butter and honey 😋
Love the wood stove, always wanted one keeps you warm while cooking, I sit here and watch you and think about how I should have lived this way while my children were small, I’m alone now , but if I had my life to live over, I would have done this, you ate amazing ❤
What a great day in the life. Thank you for sharing and good wholesome family food.
Love me some Buttercup squash❣️ I take off the cap, scrape the seeds out, add some bacon grease and a bit of brown sugar….then roast until tender. Yum! Add a little butter to it on your plate. Omgoodness, so good 😊
Loved the beautiful wood stove and how cozy it must be to cook on it. The spaghetti and french bread looked so good and bet they smelled so delicious
We have had our Heartland Oval for over 15 years now !!! It is the heart of our home in the colder months !!! Only difference is ours has the water tank .
Makes me think of the movie Julie & Julia where Julia is chopping an entire table of onions for cooking school. 😂 the googles are awesome.
Cool !!! I'm not ready for snow in the mid west ....
my mom made snow candy many times its a French Canadian thing to do in winter. food looks yummy! man looks cold there! It is -6C in Errington yesterday.
Spaghetti has always been a favorite of mine. There’s nothing like homemade bread. It’s 0800 here and you have me wanting to make dinner. Too bad I have to go to work. Thanks for sharing ❤
Love the video on Spaghetti Sauce .
When we lived in Canada (Quebec), we poured ours onto the snow on the deck as well in dollops and added lollipop sticks! Gorgeous xoxoxo
My chickens love the snow! I leave logs out for them to give their feet a break from the cold. We also provide straw paths.
I'm in Central Alberta, it's probably an 8 to 10 hour drive away, and we're covered in snow too. Winds have been blowing from the south as well, but I'm at -20 Celsius/-4 Fahrenheit and sunny. I had a wood stove when I was a teen, and it was also the heat source. My parents were completely off grid, no power or plumbing but they called it "Roughing it" back then. I called it camping year round. Our wood stove was all white with the warming space above like yours, my step mom would use it for rising bread the same way, and we had the old cast irons to heat on the stove and actually used them to iron clothing. We also had a water tank on the right side, for our hot water. Now I'm missing it.
Absolutely stunning outside thank you for showing the snow and the scenery a little bit I wish we could see more God bless thank you so much 4 in WoW right overnight
I'll take you on a tour next week!
Thanks! This is perfect. We just installed a Magnum wood/coal cookstove and I've been looking for videos like this.
I have a small table top "kitchen" fan that I use close to my onions when I'm chopping, it really helps with no tears, just make sure to keep it clean and dust free.
Oh yes! Buttercup is my favorite too. SO sweet and good. I would love some in my spaghetti sauce! Never thought of that, although I have had green zucchini in my spaghetti sauce. YUM. I am a BIG squash lover.
So very nice to have you bring us along when you cook. Thank you. More please
Who doesn’t love spaghetti? One of my families favorite meals. I put pumpkin in my lasagne sauce. My husband said it was the best I ever made. If he had known in advance he would of turned his nose up at it. Wow. I haven’t made snow ice cream in years.
love your channel, coming from a very temperate climate, your weather is amazing to me! thank you.
Wow again with the snow. The goggles are very stylish what a thoughtful surprise that was for someone to do :) And yes they are very awesome. I have always wanted to see you cook on Martha so very exciting to see and learn. Awww that is such wonderful fun and yum with the Maple Syrup! And yes that spaghetti sauce looks amazing and I am going to try squash in mine as well. I love the ducks! I have four and they are so special personalities. I can taste the bread from here....oh my gosh. hugs xo
Came over from 3rivers homestead....loving your channel.....thank you for sharing your life ❤️
Can’t wait for your next show. I love snow ❄️❄️❄️❄️ if going to be cold, watching snow fall is soothing to me.
Mmmmmm now I'm hungry for that sauce!! I like to try different things and that is different. Thanks and enjoy the snow. ❄❄⛄⛄
I've never even heard of squash in spaghetti sauce, but 'tis the season so I just added that to the menu for tomorrow! A BIG thanks to your mama and to you for sharing it here.
Such a fun video!! Honestly, it's like being in ur kitchen w/ u! The spaghetti sauce & maple snow candy looked so good. My mom use to make snow cream. Hadn't thought of that in many years!
My mother used to tell me about how her mother made her maple snow candy. I tried to do what she told me to do-but didn't realize I had to cook it first! I can't wait to try it this winter! Nobody around me had ever heard of it before, and a small part of me wondered if I'd misunderstood my mother's stories.
Thanks for answering how you handle the extra food once you open the No. 10 cans. My family isn't as large as yours, so I never thought about how quickly you would go through things like simple condiments. Totally makes sense. Great idea on refilling the squeeze bottles.
When I have to chop a lot of onions I place a small fan on the counter blowing the onion smell away from the cutting board. I can chop onions all day and not shed a tear!
This was such a fun video. The spaghetti and bread look so yummy. The maple candy sounds really good too. Martha is amazing. That is a lot of snow! My goodness I don’t think I’ve seen so much. It beautiful. Stay warm. 😊
I love that you are back on RUclips! I so look forward to your videos. Thank you Chelsea 💖
I freeze our tomato paste in tablespoon scoops on wax paper. Once frozen, I put the balls in to a bag/container.
I was going to suggest this too. I use silicone muffin liners for larger quantities and then pop them out into a bag or container. Then you don't have to use the plastic baggies, but also don't have a ton of freezer space taken up by all of the little containers.
I love your old stove. Would love to cook on it.
Your wood cookstove is absolutely beautiful, my grandma cooked on one for a lot of years
Beautiful stove. My mom had one in her house and always cooked on it in winter to help heat the house. They didn't like the baseboard heaters as the electricity to run is expensive. It is an antique and probably go with the house when we get it sold. It is that light green.
Martha is gorgeous, and so is that buttercup squash! ❤
I've never heard or seen that before with the maple candy. It's genius. I'm gonna do that when we get some snow here in Nebraska. What a fun activity with the kids! What a great idea for covering the tomato pot, love the Idea! Nancy from nebraska
That food looked so amazing, I was drooling like a baby.
I hope we get snow this year here in Georgia...there is just something so magical when the snow arrives!😇
Maple syrup on snow reminds me of Little house in the big woods.
After I use the amount of tomato paste I need from a number 10 can I use a cookie scoop to scoop out the remainder onto a cookie sheet and then freeze the tomato paste balls. When frozen I remove them from the cookie sheet into a ziplock bag. This makes the paste super convenient to use and saves on ziplock bags🙂
Love your channel! Keep cooking! It inspires me! Love the goggles!
It is generous of you to give your squash seeds to your chickens! I love roasting all squash seeds so much that I don't think I could give them up.
Looking good. Quite like that coop! We had another blizzard last night, probably 10 inches of snow on the flat now. Good job!!
Really did enjoy the video. Thank you.
Isn't it fun to see how differently do many people traditionally make staple foods!? I've heard of squash in spaghetti sauce but never ever celery... interesting. We use spaghetti squash as noodles with our spaghetti sauce. Loaded with garlic, basil!! The bread looked delicious!! Miss snow so much I could cry and wood stoves!! Maple candy looked interesting... but not enough snow here to do that...I think it needs snow to really make it special! Thanks so much Chelsea for all you share! Such a delight!! Those goggles are definitely a fashion step up! Smiles and blessings...
I put all sorts of veges, grated zucchini and carrot, riced cauliflower and broccoli, baby spinach pumpkin and squash, etc etc. it makes it into a whole meal and sneaks a bunch of veges into my picky kids.
I remember making the maple candy as kid!
Now I want to make spaghetti for dinner! I think I'll use your recipe it looked so good.
Southern Manitoba here and we have no snow yet, which for us is unheard of. I love you adding squash to the spaghetti. I'll have to try that. Love Maple candy
Memories of going across the river to my aunts farm in Vermont during sugaring season. We'd have sugar on snow with homemade warm raised donuts my aunt would bring down to the sugar shack with dill pickles on the side to cut the sweetness. Childhood like your children have is priceless ❤
I love the foil trick. That would be good when I am canning also, thank you so much. The whole meal looked delicious, thanks for sharing your moms recipe.
That pantry is so impressive!!!!
Hey! Nice video! A tip I got from my mother is to add the garlic when the pan (and oil) are still cold. Than it won't burn. (same for onions)
I'd love to have more woodstove recipes. Just got my woodstove and learning to cook things on it is challenging.
Just takes practice.
Martha is so so awesome. I can tell how much you love her❤. Makes it really special to watch you cook on her too:
Still thinking about squash in the spaghetti sauce. I do put shredded zucchini in mine. Can't wait to try your recipe. LOVE watching all the snow as I now live in AZ.
so real .. i love how real are u... feels like real life. god bless
Totally reusable Silicone bags come in different sizes- bought a bunch on Amazon plus silicone containers which you can pop into the oven from the freezer🥰❣️Love your channel- just found it today! Used to live in Wash. State as a child. My Great Grandma cooked solely on wood- burning stove- even ironed her clothes with the heavy irons you set on the stove to heat up. She was a great cook🥰❣️
Great tip!
Wow, Chelsea, look what frequency and consistency have done for you in a short amount of time, your channel is blowing up! It’s not my little secret anymore, lol. I’m lost in the crowd. Oh well, I’m really happy for you! I loved this video. I’m enjoying all the fun things you’ve been showing us.
You will never get lost in the crowd, my loyal friend.❤️
Oh my gosh! That meal looks so amazing!! You have a beautiful home, and life-I’m hooked already on your channel-so glad that Jessica from @threerivershomestead recommended you!!!
I shall have to try your maple snow candy. We got 4” of snow overnight, but it has melted.
God Bless
Great video! I, too, love spaghetti!
I used to cry all the time with onions and resorted to going outside where there's more ventilation (not the best during winter). However, I found that if I cut off the top (not bottom), peel off the top layer and slice them in sections from near the top to bottom and then turn it on its side to dice them, the juices can't escape and I no longer cry. Also, I get to stay inside. 😀
How fun! It's beautiful out there! Enjoy it Chelsea! 🤗🤗💞 P.s the sauce and bread looks delicious! Fun candy!😋
Hello from New Hampshire. Wonderful to see you using an Elmira Oval. I bought a new one in 1980! It was an amazing stove. Now we have " Matilda ". She is 1930 Home Comfort kitchen wood stove. Made in St. Louis. Our Great Uncle Robert purchased her new. You are correct, we designed our new house to have loads of clearance around this non airtight stove, but she heats the house, cooks & bakes perfectly. I have also owned the Heartland Sweetheart kitchen wood stove. I recommend these Canadian stoves from Elmira Stove Works for people to try. Very user friendly. They do all have their personalities. Like having another person in the kitchen :-) You have put me in the mood for the first snowfall and winter cooking. Thanks for taking us along! ~ Diane
When I can chicken thighs and legs, I cut the meat into chunks before canning which eliminates the stringiness. Perfect for casseroles or soups. My late dh would not eat dark meat, but never realized the canned legs and thighs were not white meat when mixed into casseroles or soups.
If you think about it in enough time before you are ready to chop up your onion, try freezing your whole onion, paper still on, for about 2 hrs… youll be amazed at how it doesnt affect your eyes!
Seeing you posted a video made my day. After working 10 hours, I really needed this. Thank you so much. No snow here YET...lol. Can't wait for this weekend so I can give making your French bread a try. Have an awesome day.
I’m so glad!😊
I live in deep South Texas close to Mexico and South Padre Island. The snow looks beautiful. I haven't lived in snow country in years. I always loved the quiet after a snow fall, the crunch when walking on it and watching my kids sledding. Thank you for sharing.
With the squash, my mom always added a few drops of walnut extract oil. It was her secret for buttercup squash.
That cook stove is amazing, I bet everything tastes good cooked in it, and it also heats the room at the same time. It is very wet and mild here in the UK, not wintery at all.
That snow is GORGEOUS !!!
Really enjoying all this extra content!!
I so love snow! I lived in Alaska for 5 years back in the 1970’s when my kids were small! Living in Tucson, Arizona we get snow very seldom! Love that wood stove!
Kitchen looks great!
If you added dried pasta or macaroni to that pot of sauce you'd have goulash as well. So versatile!
That stove is everything. I love antiques too
they are the best stoves ever!!
Your stove is GORGEOUS 😍
So much yummy!
This is my dreams come true. Wood cookstoves like this make me swoon! 🥰
