This world would be a much better place if every child had a momma like you!
Amen!
This is the absolute BEST statement I have heard that truly describes Bri !!!!! You are such a blessing to your precious children and many of us that follow you !!! You are inspiring !!!
Amen
Amen 🙏
Absolutely ❤
You are an amazing example of a kind patient mother. You did such a good job of filming this with all the kids there.
Bri, You look so happy and vibrant. I’m so happy to see your strength and courage shining. What a wonderful example you are for your kids and others through RUclips.
Aww, love that you even said good night to your kitchen. So happy you are well planted now. That house is so full of life and love ❤️
I admire your strength and patience for being there for your family.
You are more than enough.
Take care of yourself too.
You are a super role model for Grace and Joyful.
Take a bow,Gf!
✌️♥️🙏 🤜
I love that you call " problem solving"..... Pivoting! I am going to incorporate that language into our day. Its a much more "accurate" helpful word for our son with ASD. Perhaps it will be easier for him understand/adapt to situations that way. He knows the word from karate! You inspire me on so many levels! Thank you❤️
Wow! Thank you for sharing that.
Agree, pivoting is a great word choice! Love it!
I am going to start using “pivoting” also. Good choice of words!
I love this word also, it sounds so positive. I had a very special woman in my life that said “ This is not a problem it is an opportunity.” Thank you Lord for opportunities and now pivoting! ♥️
@@terrym.2264 that is beautiful ❤️
I just can't believe how big wilder has gotten. He's getting his big boy face 🥹
Jessica from Three Rivers Homestead makes muffins in a big casserole dish - then you just cut into squares and serve. Saves on washing muffin tins. Might be a quick, easy breakfast for your crew! 😊
I like that idea. Thx for the share. I watch her too.
That's a great bit of information
I just don’t think I could do all that in one day….you are impressive! Good job Mama.
In Europe (Poland) we make broth with a lot of vegetables (carrots, parsley, celeriac or celery, leek, onion - the best if is roasted on a burner or stove; sometimes parsnips - if someone grows in the garden). We also add herbs: lovage, a few balls of allspice and pepper, bay leaf, dill. Pour the chicken and vegetables with cold water and cook slowly in a pot without a lid and a spoon inside (because it takes away the flavor). There is no better broth in the world!
It is so wonderful seeing you and the kiddos. You are an inspiration to young women raising their kids alone. I was in your shoes when my kids were little. I know your struggle but I promise you will be stronger for it. Hugs Bri❤
What a fantastic space to prep and cook while the kiddos wander in and out. Exhausting yet exhilarating. Those happy faces make up for the tiredness. You are doing a selfless job teaching your children to share abundance Lessons they will keep forever. Strong women-Strong Faith. Thanks for sharing. The twins are growing so fast and personalities very adorable. You are all doing it.
You could call your channel Busy Bri because girl you are always busy!
I bet it's a joy to cook in that kitchen. That chili looks so good and so does the chicken soup as well as the stew. I admire your strength. May God continue to heal you and give you strength. I hope Art is healing too, I am continuing to pray for both of you.
Me too! 💞
As a mother of 4 & now raising a grandbaby. I am in awe of you. With everything you have been through & we can still see your beautiful soul shine through. Thank you Bri for being you. 🥰
Good morning. Nice job of cooking. Hi Art, hope you are recovering. Am praying for you.
Bri, I like seeing this side of you! Before it seemed the videos were more about homestead chores. Your recipes looked delicious and warming. Enjoyed the children and how much they have grown & changed. Blessings 🕊🙋♀️
It was the whole ball of wax. Gardening, animals, cooking. Now no animals and more cooking!
I love Wilder!!!! I have missed seeing him and all the precious faces of his brothers and sisters! He won my heart on the video that he was so happy to have that dead rat! His heart is out of this world!!!! ❤️🥰❤️
From what I understand, we are not supposed to lock the pot. There have been explosions due to built up pressure. Check the owner’s manual for true information. The lock is for traveling the crockpot.
I put this on in the background as I cook Sunday lunch all alone in my own kitchen. My babies are 17 years old now and the older boys are 20 and 21. You are doing wonderfully Bri. I admire your strength and happy attitude.
Hi like ur. Show but missed some what happened to art.
@@ryantracy116 He had a mental breakdown and left the family. He is living at the farm. Bri’s brother bought this house for her to rent. She is living here with the kids. They do visit their dad every week.
Grace and Joyful are learning So much by helping you with their younger siblings and I believe that will help them to be wonderful moms, just like you.
I’ve been loving the earrings you’ve been wearing! Also, I’ve never rinsed my chicken, drained or rinsed my beans, and I’ll be 59 in June. I’ve never gotten I’ll from my cooking. You’re doing great, Bri. God’s blessings on you all!
These look great!
Just a tip for the acidity of the tomatoes. Sugar will Not cut the acidity, it just masks it. The only way to cut the acidity is to add something that actually neutralizes acid. Baking soda will do that. Go lightly because it can change the texture of the food.
What can I say, I don't think for one moment I could do all you do with so many kids to care for. You truely are inspirational and I admire you so much coping alone so kind and caring for everyone. Take care of yourself as much as you can and I do hope the kids helped with the clearing up. They're such great kids I recon they help out as you are such a rolemodel. Much love sweetheart. xxx
What a beautiful family. I can't believe how much the twins and Wilder have grown - he definitely is a 'big boy' now! Thanks for the video - loved it. Keep them comin' :) Lin x. UK
It is so nice to see you back again. Can’t tell you how many times I used to check the channel, to see if anything new. Have been praying continually & will continue. We can always use prayer! Blessings!!
Bri, I love how you let your kids help cook with you. You teach them alot about everything you guys do.
So glad to have you all back. Really enjoying the new content. ❤️
I just enjoyed watching you cook knowing behind the scenes that life is still happening with the children. Those babies are so interested already in what mom is cooking in the kitchen and want to help. Bless you all♡
Baby up , baby down . The twins take my eyes. They where so tiny and now they are always moving . You are doing a wonderful job.
Cooking ahead takes so much stress off. I know your days are beyond full. ❤
Bri... whenever I feel like I'm overwhelmed and just can't anymore I pull up one of your new videos and it makes me feel better. You are such an inspiration. Thank you...
You are a wonderful mother, an excellent house keeper and a great cook!!! With a big family, this is the way to go, making big pots to freeze. God bless this family in Jesus name. 😊
Bri you are an Amazing, Awesome Mom & Such a Great Friend ~ Absolutely Love You & Your Beautiful Family You Created❣️🥰
Hi, a tip! Use the egg shell to retrieve broken egg shell pieces. 😊
Love this!
Learned that from my Grannie 😊
@@Brifromscratch There is Science behind it...cool thing to look up then demonstrate for the kiddos 🥰
Bri- You have such a big and generous heart!!! Watching you interact with your babies as you cook, was both educational and uplifting! I love your channel- just started watching two weeks ago. God is smiling down on you as you raise your family on your own. God bless you. God keep you safe. Great Video. I will try cocoa powder and chipotle in my chili next time. I love your cooking demonstrations.
i put chocolate in my spaghetti sauce and if i don’t have chocolate or choc-chips i mix equal parts cocoa,sugar and melted butter…a. A friend taught me to add a handful of raisins instead of chocolate..the sweetness, as,Bri pointed out, cuts the raw acidity of the tomatoes. Oh those twins are just So Darling. the screenshotof their baby hands washing the beans is so sweet. Bri, I love your earrings, I see you wearing them almost all the time, there must be a special story connected to them. Maybe you will tell us. They look like wood or agate. They are just the right size and shape to enhance your features and hairstyle. You always look elegant and “dressed up” wearing them. 💕
My favorite channel on RUclips- Bri From Scratch and Jonna Jinton is up there too!!! 💗💗🌟💗💗🌟💗💗🌟💗💗🌟💗💗💯💯💯💯💯
Pivot is a great word for this walk through life. You're a sweet hearted soul. So glad you have a supportive family and friend's. You all are in my prayers! God bless!!
It refreshing seeing a young Mom making food from scratch ..
Your kids will grow up with happy kitchen memories, and that will help them want to be there when they are adults. You are giving them a gift for a lifetime.
I get my chili beef coarse ground for that beefy chili without the high cost. I also wash my store bought canned goods. I think they just taste better that way. So happy that you’re back. It’s hard raising kids on your own. Always remember keep the faith. God has y’all ✝️🙏🏼❤️
Bri, hello...It was so lovely to see videos about your family again. I have missed you guys! You are such a great mother. The meals looked wonderful and probably smelled even better. Prayers for Art's healing..🙏🏻💓🙏🏻
I just hope Bri can keep up with the expenses of a big house( heat, electrical insurance).
@@janew5351 watch, watch, watch! This is her income.
@@cynthiafisher9907 Yes, yes, yes!
Paper towels between multiple unfrozen bags is a hack I use all the time. After frozen, slide out the paper towels and you can use them for kitchen cleanup. The paper towel keeps the unfrozen bags from freezing together. I like I don’t have to rearrange my freezer w this jack if I’m tight on space or time.
Lots of work mama! You're a champion. Everything looks amazing. I bet the smell coming from the house was drawing neighbors.
Amazing, at 66yrs old I enjoyed watching you tackle the big cooking day and all the kiddos coming in & out
Of the kitchen, but to my surprise I learned a bunch of new tips on the cooking!
Can you direct us on where you bought the big spice jars,
I’ve never seen those before. 🌺
I buy the herbs/spices bulk and then fill the jars myself.
Honestly. You are a wonder mum. How you manage all this, on your own, and you are still thinking of others and those who are in need. You are an amazing person Bri
Yes, Bri you really are!
Super mom. Those babies make my day. So sweet, I forgot how old they are but they seem so grown up
There are probably as many ways to make chili as there are cooks. With that said, I use 1-2 lbs of meat to 2 qts of home canned tomatoes, 2 chopped onions, and 2 cans of beans. I use chili powder and cumin in addition to garlic,
salt, pepper, a bit of sugar and paprika. I cook it until the tomatoes have reached a thick, saucy state and put in the fridge. You are definitely correct about it being better the next day 😉.
Prayers Bri and those precious chitlin's.. God bless you all. Babies all will be we. Mom prays to God. God guides mom. In many ways.Loves
Your a strong momma ! Keep it going! Your babies are adorable.
Great job. Women are the strongest and capable of doing a lot.
Bri, your glowing! I’m sorry your in a though time. Your outlook is so positive very happy that your not stuck and moving on with your beautiful smile and children
I appreciate you!! Your a trooper!! 🤍🙏🏻🕊💙
With chili beans, I always put them in exactly as they are from the can because they are already seasoned.
I love the educational lesson to your children while cooking so they can learn about things in life like fermentation. Awesome. I love this video. Cooking is so much fun and it is great learning from you. I love that you put cocoa powder in the one recipe. Now I am really hungry. It was good though. Love that food prep. You go, you multitasking genius.
The twins' little sweaters!!!!! Oh they're the cutest things 😭
I use a flame tamer on my gas stove it distributes the heat more evenly on the pan I am simmering. The next time you make a dish that requires a lot of bean cook them a day ahead of time in the instant pot and you will have saved a fortune. I like canned beans when I am making a quick soup and do not need many. The bean come out so creamy in the instant pot. Chick peas are so good done this way. An easy way to make humus for the kids to have between meals. You were very busy but enjoying all your efforts in being able to give to others.
You are a true Wonder Woman/ mom, I really admire you Bri, I could never accomplish what you do in a day. God bless❤
I just love 💕 you Bri and those precious kiddos. You’re doing a great job on your you tube. 😊
So informative! So thankful GOD is using you in such a wonderful way! Love and prayers to you all!
Chicken soup for the soul and for any bug that comes along - great!
Love this❤ my kiddos are going to help me cook today and I was lacking inspiration, so thank you for sharing!!
praying for Art. You are doing a great job. ❤
Seeing you do all this cooking for your kids brings back happy memories. I'm old now. LOL
I'm old now, too. I love how watching Bri and her kids brings back memories for me!
I ended up putting the comment on the wrong video😂😂
I love watching you cook everything looked delicious you got me wanting to cook a big pot of chili now 😜 even though you have 7 kids you still seem so relaxed when you do things which makes life so much easier,can't wait to see the next video, give the kiddos a hug for me 🤗
I seen this come out I was still at work home now ready to watch. Love u all so much ty for coming back into our lives 🥰😇🥰😇🥹
I just loved your Video. I felt like I was your best friend having a video chat with you. LOVED BEING YOUR KITCHEN FRIEND!
love the direction your content is going
All that food looks great. Makes me hungry. You are a super mom so give yourself a brake. You deserve it
Bri!! Your loving heart is a gift to so many. God bless you and your family.
May you find strength in the One who gives strength.thank you,
You look good, push on mama!!! Blessings!!
Love watching you interacting with the kids in the kitchen 😊
What a fun day with you and the kids! I loved watching you cook and the recipes seem easy enough that I can do them. You’re doing great Bri. Don’t let anyone tell you different. You are an amazing mom to those kids and I hope they realize how much you love them.
great work, Bri..it must be nice to cook in that kitchen, after the sacrifice kitchens in the camper and rental house...moving on up! Blessed to see you and the kids happy in your new home too!
That’s what I was thinking!
That was so much fun "cooking" with you, Bri! And all your cute little helpers and bean eaters:-) And all your big helpers were definitely behind the scenes helping out with the littles I'm sure! I love the way you cook nutritious meals like that from scratch. That's what I try to do for our family as well! A nice trick I learned to cool off a huge pot of soup fast is to set it in a deep sink like a laundry sink, and fill the sink with cold water to just about the height of the soup in the pot!
Good idea for cooling a big pot of soup. I usedto ove to help cook for large encampments out in the mountains where there is no elctricity for refrigeration. Ice chests, and blocks of ice worked..When a big pot of cicken soup was cooked and hot, ready for the next day, and the sun had set and day was done, We would pour the hot soup into an ice chest and float a block or two of ice on it and close it up for the night. In the morning it was ice cold and would keep all day until dinner. The melted ice did not affect the flavor significantly and seasoning could be added if needed. And in reverse, to save fuel when camping with my family, i would get a pot of beef stew started on the campstove, put a lid on and put it in a box, lined with straw, and straw on the top , and cover the box with a blanket 6 to 8 hrs later. in the evening after a day hiking etc, we would have a “slow-cooked”in its own heat- stew with meat so tender. This method also works at home during power outages, which are more frquent nowdays..
@@prarieborn6458 i love this. Such a great idea! Thx for sharing. 👍🏽
Hi kiddos!!!!! Love u all, warm hug kisses to every one. Though we do not know each other but I know u thru all ur mom n dad videos.
Extra careful kids!!!!
The sourdough journey requires lots of time , patience and flour. Game changers for me were: journal each bake from start to finish, include starter stage, measurements( a kitchen scale is a necessity) time of each stretch and fold, temperature of dough and air. When starter and salt have been incorporated into dough fill ( 2+ tbls) bottom of small see thru covered container with dough. Mark the side of the container. Keep it next to your dough. When the dough in the small container has doubled in size, you are ready to FINAL SHAPE YOUR DOUGH (8 to 15+ hours depending on temperature) My BIGGEST MISTAKE had been not knowing when bulk fermentation was completed but seeing the small amount of dough rise in the separate container works. Rice flour is a necessity to coat banneton - loaf does not stick. I also let the final shaped loaf rest on the counter in its banneton and then place final shaped loaves in the frig for 18 to 24 hours before baking and place in freezer last 1/2 hour before scoring and baking. I also spray water inside dutch oven before closing lid. Lots of info on internet about how to strengthen your starter . It took me a few months to get to where I can consistently bake a loaf that rises and has a soft fluffy open crumb. I was so happy when I got my first bunny ear. Good luck. Wish I could be there to help you.
I loved seeing your meal ideas. I am definitely not a strict "follow the recipe person" - I make a lot by sight or how it feels. It was great when you showed inside the pot (of chili) and explained what you were looking for, texture-wise and the overall look. That makes me feel like I can do it even without the exact measurements! Thx! 💕👍
Well done Bri everything looks so delicious! I like the look of your chilly, it’s not a go to dish here in France, but I really fancy trying it. I sincerely don’t know how you do it, with all your children, you have the patience of a Saint and deserve a medal 🥇.
Just so you know, it’s spelled chili, which is a the name of a hot pepper. Chilly is a different word that sounds the same, it means kind of cold.
i know what chilly means Im British. lol
I’m loving your videos, Bri. I’m going to have to try that chili! I hope Art is doing well.
If Art was doing well he wouldn't have helped make all those kids then left. His downfall started when he quit a good paying job as a nurse.
Let’s hope that he is recovering from his breakdown.
Loving family chaos! Love it!
Wow. You all have been very busy getting the everything unpacked. Gos bless you all. Enjoy your home.
I used to rinse my canned beans until i read somewhere that you get more nutrients leaving it in. Seems like everytime i turn around the recommendations change. It doesn’t seem to change the taste either way and it’s a nice warm, hearty meal.
Yes, I read somewhere that the liquid the beans are in are really good for you, the fact that the beans have soaked in it it’s on a par with broth, just cannot remember what they called it.
Thanks for the tips ladies! ❤️❤️❤️ I'm sure I heard somewhere that that bean water (I'm sure it has a proper name but I forget 🤣) is full of protein and can replace eggs in baking, for egg free dietary needs.
Look how the light of our Heavenly Father shines down on Bri and her family at around the 27:00 minute mark! His love and grace is always with us! I believe that God communicates through light. ❤️
Oh, Bri, I was soooo hoping you would do some cooking videos. I know you choose nourishing meals and I have always wanted to see some of what you make. Can't wait to watch this video later tonight. Thanks so much for sharing with all of us.
Bri you need to get that PO Box going and an Amazon wish list ..... Instant Pot, Sieve, Knives ..... :)
Such a wonderful parent, reflected in your beautiful children. You're a true inspiration 💕
Bri you’re outstanding, congratulations! Your patience is contagious and your cooking delicious. Many blessings.
Bri you are a rock star!! Here you are in a place we're you are in need your thinking of others. God bless you
Always such a great feeling to have so much put up as 'ready meals'. Even better to be able to share with others. I'm sure whomever is receiving these will really enjoy them. I'd be thrill to have any, and I disagree about the stew not looking appetizing, my mouth watered as soon as I saw it!
Concerned that you are not putting external packaging into pot and no chicken washing. The external packaging is not clean ….and you put in into pot! Obviously your choice …. just voicing my professional concerns related to food hygiene.
@@mjomalley1606 You've replied directly to me, instead of in the main thread.
Awesome Vlog Bri!! You are amazing, your patience with children while making all those freezers meals! your children are so blessed to have you! God Bless You All!!
I love how you involve your children in everything. ❤️❤️❤️
Bri, oh my! What a wonderful friend you are to make such lovely meals! And the amount of love and patience you show to your kids while doing this is a testament to great motherhood. Just amazing.
Wilder is becoming such a little man!!!! I love how you cook with them.....I don't think it's easy...... you are so patient
It’s makes me so happy to see you& your family you make me so happy
Thanks for showing us how it’s done with the babies and children. I love ale care of my grandchildren full-part time and it gets mighty hairy come meal prep time.
LOVE this style of video! Love how and what you cook!
I love your videos Bri! My favorite part was when one of the twins did a little tapping with his little hands on the sink so excited 😁
You measure just like my oldest daughter does. Lol
God Bless Y'all.
The babies helping you cook reminds me of my youngest in the kitchen with me. He’s 3.5 now but he spent the most time of any of my 6 kids in the kitchen with me. He would always come running when I was cooking and still does. I love seeing you cook with your sweet kids.
Thank you for your videos and sharing the smiles of your sweet children.
