What an interesting take on this topic! And I agree, people/friends/family think I'm "weird" to make the things from scratch, that I make my bread, can tomatoes, drink raw milk or buy beef from a farmer. I am tired of seeing posts on social media about how strange it is to take care of your family by cooking or making things from scratch "like making your own crackers". It's learning where REAL food comes from.
Just want to say I appreciate your contribution to this world. I really love the way you and your family enjoy your farm and lifestyle. Thank you for choosing to share some of your ideas in the kitchen and garden. God bless
These kinds of videos really speak to my heart and move my spirit. It makes me want be different….to do things that “don’t make sense” more often….because I think they are the moments that will create memories in my families hearts. So thank you for inspiring….💕
I love your philosophy. Kudos to you and your family. What you all are doing is so sustainable and fulfilling. May God richly bless your family, not so much monetarily, but with the rewards of living and learning the hard way. The takeaway your family will have far outweighs negative people.
Those look amazing! I make cheesy,sourdough einkorn crackers we’ll never go back to store bought. They are easier than the sourdough hard pretzels. My Amish neighbor sells them and gave me her recipe and I’m still working on getting them to be as good as hers.
My son and his family are in Italy right now on vacation. He grew up in Wenatchee, probably older than you by just enough that you wouldn’t have known each other. This is his third visit to Italy. Today they are in Florence.
I think it’s absolutely wonderful that you choose to do things in a more natural way! Hurray for you! I admire your hard work and focus on good health for your family! Keep it up, my friend!
Such a beautiful video and message. I love how poetic you speak, and your calming voice. Most my family have thought the homesteading lifestyle that I have sought for over 25 years is "wrong". I really appreciated this perspective and message.
World changing inventions never come out of status quo thinking. Those inventors were usually thought to be a little weird. My life goal is to burn out bright not fizzle out. 🌞
Being different is very encouraging! I tell my children all the time that we weren't created to be like everyone else we are unique for a reason and that is special! I get questions about why I cook from scratch a lot and for me it just makes sense! I am a single parent and food has to stretch I cannot afford to feed my family by going out to eat and things like that. It gets to expensive! I am not a complete ingredient household but 90% of our food is cooked from scratch by me. There is something special about creating a new meal and watching my kiddos enjoy what I've made!
Thank you for insight, it was lovely to hear. Hear hear to doing things different if it's right for you. People wonder why I make my own butter sometimes (especially living in NZ where our diary food is amazing), but I simply say why not? I get a kick out of it too. ❤❤❤
Not being lazy or everyone else is what makes us unique. When some folks find out how I'm living they think it's pretty kewl. Well first the most part. I love teln my story.

Totally agree! I appreciate it as well!
LOVED this so much and needed the reminder!!!

Y’all bless my family and I so dearly! ❤
Amen ❤ I feel seen! Thank you 😊
Love the smell of fresh ground grain. I like to let it rest a bit before using and it gives a great aroma while I’m waiting. Another fun video.
Beautiful, encouraging video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm too old to care what anyone but the Creator of the Universe thinks about what I do.
Amen to that!!! 🤣💜👏
Yes and amen 🙏
Amen!
Ditto!!

I've said this before and i'll say it again.... you are so wonderful! ❤ Those crackers and dip look scumptious!
Thank you. And yes, they are delicious!
My sister always told me WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE DIFFICULT..
I said I'm not you and don't think like u
Amen 🙏
You Guys are just amazing 🙏💖💖💖💖💖💖💫
Those look amazing! I make cheesy,sourdough einkorn crackers we’ll never go back to store bought. They are easier than the sourdough hard pretzels. My Amish neighbor sells them and gave me her recipe and I’m still working on getting them to be as good as hers.
Do you have a recipe you could share for the sourdough hard pretzels?
Great message in this video. 🤗
Wow! Such an encouraging video. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Amen Girl !
Looks yummy to me!! Great video!!
My son and his family are in Italy right now on vacation. He grew up in Wenatchee, probably older than you by just enough that you wouldn’t have known each other. This is his third visit to Italy. Today they are in Florence.
That sounds amazing and I’m a little jealous.
What a beautiful video. 🤍
Yummy 😋
Why are you directing people to man through therapy? What about JESUS CHRIST, the Way, the Truth, and the Life?
💯🎯🙏♥️
Proverbs 11:14-15 , Proverbs 1:5, Proverbs 12:15, Proverbs 15:22. God approves counseling
I think it’s absolutely wonderful that you choose to do things in a more natural way! Hurray for you! I admire your hard work and focus on good health for your family! Keep it up, my friend!
Good video, from one weirdo to another!! Love to you both.
All I wanted was a crackers recipe, my god
I would have liked to heard about the recipe and the measurements.
I have endless respect and awe for what you're doing. You are most definitely where you're supposed to be.🥰
I always love how you tell a beautiful story in your content. Thank you once again for taking us long with you, in yall's beautiful lovestory of life.
Thank you so much!
The crackers in the box are outrageously expensive.
I’ve often told my family that I’m going to get a shirt that says weirdo on it! Nothing like homemade anything as far as we’re concerned.❤
Cheers 🦋🦋🦋

Yes, so much yes!

Oh dear, do you know if that’s true Shaye?

What kind of wood is your countertop at the prep area?
It’s basic butcher block that can be found at a homestore like Lowe’s. We cut it to size for that prep area.
@@theelliotthomestead THANK YOU so so much for replying! That is exactly what I am looking for.

You are wise and beautiful. Rare combination.
Beautiful. Thank you!
Thank you, Shaye ♥
Love this.
I needed to hear these words! They are most comforting and very motivating. Thank you for sharing all that you do! ❤
I'm so glad!
