I love how Dan mindfully put his arm around you to keep you from falling. An act of Love for sure.❤️Keeper❤️
Pyrex says on their website that their measuring cups can be used for either dry or wet. I have definitely used it for both. This seems to fall under the "don't sweat the small stuff" category for me. I will keep on using the one that is easiest to grab. Love your videos!!!!
I knew the rule, but always use what leaves me less dirty dishes!
So funny to hear how planning for YT videos now has you much more mindful of your day (e.g., remembering to thaw out things). Glad we can give something back to you that way 🙂
You & Dan are an Amazing couple!
Just Beautiful ... I love making Shepherd's Pie on a cold day. The Red Pepper Jelly sounds devine,
I will have to make it
Oh I am so excited to learn about your freeze dryer. Congratulations and thank you Harvest Right for choosing such a deserving You Tuber!
Your meals always look so yummy!
God bless all of your family!
I hope your family appreciates the work you do to make all that yummy food! ..... great job!
So nice to see Dan on camera! He seems like an awesome husband and father! Love the spring… what a great place!
He’s the best!
God has blessed you and your family. It's beautiful to see a big family like yours being so self efficient. Love this.
I love that your recipes are made of Whole Foods. No store bought mixes! Can’t wait for your cookbook to come out into the world
I love to watch you bake and cook! It seems like it would be easier for you to have all your baking ingredients by the counter where you were filming so you don’t have to traipse back and forth across the kitchen so many times. Oh, I’m excited for the cookbook! And congratulations on the freeze dryer! That will be so much fun.
I think that's how she stays so trim and slim!
I think shepherd's pie needs to go in the rotation this next week. And I have a few bags of frozen blueberries that I need to use. Thanks for the recipes. For someone that claims to not like cooking (I would have never guessed), you sure do a great job at it.
Jessica at "Three Rivers Homestead" uses her juice from canned fruit to make her kids gelatin. I was thrilled to see this because it killed me to see all of that deliciousness go down the drain🙂
It also makes wonderful popsicles, and peach juice is nice added to tea to make peach sweet tea!
I love your videos! You make the best recipes and communicate so well. I want to share that the only differences in the measuring cups is that a liquid measure has a spout and dry measure is made for easy leveling of dry ingredients. A cup is a cup, so you've been doing it right all along. Can't wait to see what you do with the freeze drier.
I so agree!
Chelsea, don't fret about the measuring cups, they can be used for wet or dry ingredients. All the food that you made today looks utterly delicious 😋
My mom found out that HER mother used the same cup for both wet and dry, and gave me a big lecture about why you can't use them interchangeably. Obedient as I was, I have always used both. As an older adult, I decided there was no need and just use a single cup now...less dishes❣️
Congrats on the freeze dryer. I, and I am sure other subscribers, sent an email to Harvest Right, advising they would be well-placed to send you a freeze dryer! I got a very nice, non-committal response from them, and am delighted they are sending you one! I understand you know Jessica from Three Rivers, and she does all kinds of fantastic things with hers. Wow! I can't think of a better spokesman for Harvest Right than you and Jessica! Again, congrats! I am delighted!
Really???? Oh my goodness thank you so much. What a kind and thoughtful thing to do!❤️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😇
Omgoodness Chelsea, wow…..I am so excited for you getting a freeze dryer. You guys so deserve it. Congrats 💕 PS the only difference between wet and dry measuring cups is…there is room above the one cup line for the liquid cups so you don’t spill it when you carry it to the bowl. They are box one cup. So either way…..they both work. I love ketchup on my shepherds pie too.
Thanks for clearing that up! Makes perfect sense.
Chelsea, you have such a calming voice that if I don’t listen to you in the morning I feel I haven’t started my day right🥰❤️🙏I have watched your videos over and over again, lol!! Love all your material!!!
The sound of that crunchy snow is great for those who have never experienced it. Having grown up in Michigan I can't imagine wondering what it's like!
I adore your wood cook stove!
I think the liquid dry cups is a new thing that everybody has discovered and so has to pass it on. I’ve been using those Pyrex cups for both for years and everything turns out that’s fine. I make my shepherd pie just like you except I don’t add broth and I mix the cheese in with the potatoes. Everybody loves it. Great comfort food. I’ll have to try blueberries and peaches with my cobbler next time since I love blueberries.
I love watching you! I love your farm, your canning and all that goes with homemaking. Anxiously waiting for your cookbook!
I live in Georgia 🇺🇸 & it tickled me when you said you had to check your spring box “before winter sets in”. I consider what y’all are walking through a fantastic winter wonderland! Looks “set in” big time to me ☺️. So beautiful! Love your videos!
Here in England that cobbler would most likely have been served with custard, nice and thick. Love these sort of recipes, my children, now grown up, tell me that the food they ate as children was full of fat and sugar. They then proceed to feed their children with manufactured snack bars masquerading as health bars where the first 2 ingredients listed are sugar and fructose. My answer is, all three of you grew up healthy, and my son is a Royal Marine Commando, so must of done something right with all my from scratch cookery. 😂😂
That is so amazing and wonderful that Harvest Right sent you a freeze dryer!! So exciting!!! I can't wait to buy one some day.
I took a cooking class in high school and my grade was reduced on a cooking session because I used a liquid measure rather than one for dry ingredients. I was raised to reduce the number of dishes to clean but it’s something I’ve never forgotten!
I learned that about the measuring cups a couple years ago and I've been cooking, canning, etc... for many years. So don't be embarrassed about not knowing. I bet there are a lot of people that don't know this. Thank you for sharing your family cobbler recipe.
I am in my 70’s and never knew that 😂👍I learned something new today ❤️
Your Cottage Pie looks lovely. It must be a real arm workout, mashing all those potatoes! My mum was one of 8 children. My nan would have loved your kitchen. She worked wonders with a small gas cooker and a tiny galley kitchen, but I don't know how she managed logistically. Thank you for sharing
What a sweet man to reach out and hug u while walking xoxo you've met your moat wonderful matches 💖
He's amazing! ❤️
That frreezedryer is going to totally revamp your preservation. Your pantry will be completely different next year. And you will be amazed by the flavour of freezedried green beans vs. the canned muck you have now ;-) You have no idea how much more excited you will be once you get the hang of it. It's really a game changer, total overhaul. I'm so excited for your family to 'get' one from HR (not sure if there are strings attached to the gift, but showing it on YT will be more than a fair deal for you). Hip hip huzaaa!
Hello from Ireland and your the first American to make our shepards pie exactly they way we do
I was taught the difference in dry/wet measurement in high school home economics, but I've never seen that it makes much difference in recipes!
Congrats on the freeze dryer!!! Yay. That is really a neat thought that you could be preserving food for your kids for the future. So cool. At first when I saw you pull out the ketchup I thought you were putting it on the ice cream, lol. I am like...is she serious? Takes me a while to catch on, lol. What a lovely meal for your family. That takes a lot of time thinking out big meal plans like that. I get to cook on a wood stove we purchased from our Amish neighbors when they upgraded. I like cooking on it. Especially simmering soups all day or making stock. It is also our main heat source in our house.
I did wonder if they were a good heat source as well as cooking. Thanks for answering my unasked question.
Congrats on getting the freeze drier! Your preservation game is about to go NEXT LEVEL!
This was another great video--the walk to the spring was beautiful in the snow. Your dinner looked scrumptious and I'm anxious to duplicate it. I've made your Nutella bread and my husband ate most of it after dinner and finished it off for breakfast.
How beautiful is it where u live, imagine being able to be around all the natural and gorgeousness everyday
We also love Shepherd's pie. I have always added a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture and we eat it the British way with HP sauce on top instead of ketchup. In fact, I get cravings for the sauce, which is why I make Shepherd's pie! Ketchup on meat loaf. It's so interesting to hear other families food traditions. I absolutely love your videos and send warm thoughts from Winnipeg, where we had a little blizzard last night and are about as snowy as you are!
Don’t worry about the measuring cups, either will measure a cups by volume. The clear measuring cup just makes it easier to measure a liquid without having to fill multiple cups.
Lovely video content and will definitely try out these two recipes for my family :) Super excited girlie for your freeze dryer!!!! Welcome to a whole new way to preserve food! Looking forward to sharing the freeze drying journey with you and others. I have learned a few time saving tips and hacks that have greatly helped with time and organization. Thank you to Harvest Right!!!
I would love to have a large glass of that pure spring water.
I didn't know the measuring cup thing either. Well, now we know. 😊
I made cottage pie (ground beef version) and peach cobbler for dinner. Neither one of us had ever had it and really liked it! I found your channel like two day ago and I’m already so hooked and influenced lol
So excited for your freeze dryer!!!! Yay!!!!
Also, thank you for going out of your way to do your delicious looking cobbler! Everything looks incredibly delicious! ❤
Your property is beautiful. The natural spring water is amazing. All the recipes look delicious. Especially the cobbler and ice cream. Yum😊
Watching this late into the evening was a pure torture, but I'm very happy for you and everyone who had a chance to try the feast you prepared :D
I love shepherds pie! I recently learned that if it’s made with ground beef instead of lamb, it’s called cottage pie. The roasted garlic in mashed potatoes is delicious. I add a squeeze of lemon juice too. You can’t taste the lemon (unless you use too much) but the acid with the starchy potatoes makes the flavor pop.
"Smells like summer" is appreciated and understood by those who live in a winter climate. I say it often about flowers I purchase in the middle of winter. I'm new to your channel and absolutely love it!
Welcome!
In the UK Shepherds pie is made with ground lamb (hence the Shepherd in the name). We call the one made with beef or pork< Cottage pie. 😁
A cookbook would be a wonderful idea.
Amazing spring water I remembered Grandmas well water so cold and good
So nice to see your GP with you in the forest . Had one too when we first came to our farm .they are certainly a force! Good puppy
So happy for you to get the freeze dryer. If anyone needs or deserves one it’s your family. I’m sure you’ll make very good use of it.
💚 How absolutely wonderful that you have a spring on your property and it's gravity fed down to the house! Getting a little creek flowing in the ditch that remains will be so nice. I definitely have a water source like that on my "Dream" property! Super yummy-looking Cobbler, Shepherd's Pie and Ice Cream, Yum-O! 💚
You will love your freeze dryer! I love Cooking with my freeze dried foods. I've had a harvest right for 2 years now and use it all the time. My most favorite things are Freeze dried onions and freeze dried peppers. I also freeze dry most of my frozen veggies to save freezer space. Freeze drying your herbs is the best! They taste and smell exactly like fresh. Enjoy!
Oh my goodness! I am so glad you mentioned the difference between liquid measuring cups and dry! I learned this so long ago I can't recall when and where. It absolutely drives me crazy when I see someone use a liquid measuring cup to measure dry ingredients (or vice versa). I am so excited for you with the freeze dryer! That's wonderful!
It would be interesting to see how your pantry looks throughout the year, and see how much is still left before you start canning in August again!
I've been cooking for 41 yrs I knew there were different measuring cups but still didn't use them. My recipes are always good so I wouldn't feel bad. Only in baking do I measure, I go by taste and the looks of things.
You can tell you are a marvelous cook. Congratulations on your freeze dryer. If I were young I would have loved one but my children are all married. Just me and my husband.
I'm anxious to see how you use it.
I’m so happy for you on the freeze dryer. It’s also on my homestead dream list though it’ll be a lot of saving before we can afford the price tag. But that doesn’t stop me from dreaming and watching what everyone makes with theirs. I can’t wait to see what you do lucky lady! Congrats
My grandma always used tapioca in blueberry pies and cobbler it absorbs the juice and isn’t “pasty” it still works for me as well.
Your 🥫 canned food is awesome. Reminds me of my grandma's cellar. My husband is from Canada 🇨🇦.
Loved the video and cooking as always! As a Brit, I would like to say that you actually made cottage pie (beef) as shepherds pie is made with lamb. I always add 4Tbsp f Worcestershire sauce per lb of meat and it takes it to another level. Would love to now what you think of you decide to try it! 😊
The snowy woods you have on your property were just stunning! I love the snow but sadly, I live in America now and NC (where I am anyway) doesn’t get any really.
Shoot, I forgot the Worcestershire sauce - You're right, it makes it!
Beautiful pantry you have. We also love the way you arrange it. It looks so neat. It's amazing how weather is variable from continent to another. We live in Southern Africa and -10 degree celcius is freezing cold for us...Looord... and then you casually said "it's not even that cold" 😂. Our coldest day in winter is -1 on average! Also, we don't have freeze dryers here, we mostly sun dry for preservation. We enjoy your videos.
I’m Puerto Rican and chopping onions doesn’t affect my eyes at all. I’ve been chopping onions for 55 years. Never made me tear. I chop all kinds of red, white, yellow onions.
Glad you love your Lodge pans! They are made in a small community just outside Chattanooga, Tennessee...my hometown. Really great store at the plant! You'd LOVE it!
You are both so knowledgeable. You have such a beautiful place there. I know its a labor of love. I'm so happy that i found your channel. Everything you do just makes me happy. I've been binge watching.
I’m so happy that you’re getting a freeze dryer! That’s an amazing blessing from God sister, yes most definitely wow ❤😊
We just had that discussion about liquid and dry measuring. My mother and sister thought I was crazy and didn’t think there was a difference. I had to pull up articles to prove myself. 😀
Congratulations on the freezedryer! Can't wait to see what you make.
Wow! So much snow already! Looks beautiful but keep it up there guys! 😁Looks like Winter wonderland! ❤️
I love the watering system!
Here’s a frugal tip-
I save the water from boiling potatoes and use it to make soup. It adds nutrients to and thickens any kind of soup
Congratulations on the freeze dryer! I make Peach Blackberry Cobble with a similar cake topping. Im making a note to try blueberries!!
We're I live 15 is freaking cold. We've got snow twice already, typically we don't get snow before Christmas. It's gonna be a cold snowing winter this year. I hope everyone got prepped over the summer. I also prep foods, of course my lasagna I get cooked, cool then vax seal single servings for freezer, did same for homemade cast iron pizzas, made up 360 hot wings and vax-sealed into 8 per pack for freezer. Made Chilli 2 huge pots, (12 lbs hamburger) and have 38 4 serving freezer bowls ready for winter.
Thanks for sharing your versions of prepping
Congratulations I think you deserve it after binge watching your channel, I hope you have a lot of fun and it helps you with your cooking.
Wow! You already have the crunchy snow sound when you walk. Great video!
Every time I see your wood cook stove i just oohhh n ahhhh over it! 😁
I have always dreamed of having one but now that I live in Louisiana USA. Just not feasible! We have summer time weather just about 7-9 months of the year! We pretty much live in a tropical state!
But your stove is so beautiful! My Maw Nichols cooked on one till I was about 10 yes old! I loved staying with her n helping her cook on that stove!
So glad you received a Harvest Right freeze dryer- a huge blessing for you!
One is on my bucket list too.
Beautiful and I bet delicious comfort food!
Sweet !!!!
I always leave your videos starving! Everything looks SO good. I was thinking yesterday when you said you wanted a Harvest Rite freeze dryer that I’ll bet the company will send you one because of the volume of food you process! I’m so happy they did! The kids will love the vegetables and fruits. Folks say they are delicious! Enjoy! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Judy..I'm a new one here but the ones I have seen..I drool excessively! From now on..before I watch..I'm putting a bib on! Ya with me? Lol
Oh I'm so glad you get a freeze dryer! I don't have one, but I've seen what can be done with them from those I watch!
So happy for your gift fro harvest right. Yay!!
You're gonna live the freezer dryer. I have to tell you though. It is super heavy. Make sure that you set it up on something really sturdy. I freeze dry out left overs and make MREs. Congratulations on your freezer dryer. Harvest Right is a great company. Their customer service is awesome. 😀
I just found your channel and love it your great cooker beautiful place I'm 70 disabled Im a artist I'm from West Virginia always ,giveI a thumbs up God bless you and your family.
Welcome!
We were taught the difference with the measuring cups but it really doesn't matter what you use as long as they are the measurements called for, lol. I used to do it all the time and I came out alright, lol.
Oh I’d love for you to put a cookbook together. All of your food looks delicious. I found your channel a couple weeks ago. I just love your content. Thank you for sharing all that you do. I must say, I’m a little jealous because I’d love to live where you live, and the lifestyle you live. Unfortunately I’m over 50 and single with health problems so I’d never be able to do all the work required. But in my eyes, you have the perfect little homestead!
I've always made a weekly list for dinners. I shop from my list to save money. So, in the morning I just check the list to see what I need to do and what time I need to start cooking. My boys liked to check the list too and often suggested a meal which was great.
My freeze dryer came in July and has run non stop ever since. It's one of the best purchases I've made. The food rehydrates beautifully and the convenience of shelf stable food is great. Easier than canning, but I do that too. One of the best
things is freeze dried herbs, they taste like just picked.
Have fun with yours
I cannot wait for future news on cookbook - I’m so excited. Count me in for a copy!
Girl..I didn't know that either about measuring cups..58 and learned it today..
That's fabulous news about the freeze dryer!! Congratulations! You will be in good company by having one. Many of the popular homesteader channels have them and rave about the high-quality product they produce.
Congrats on your very own freeze dryer!!!! So very Excited for you and your family. Ive been loving all the videos! Blessings to you all!
Hi Chelsea from southern Ontario! I love watching your videos and love seeing the farm change from season to season. Your shepherds pie is very similar to mine except I cook regular and sweet potatoes and mash them together for the topping. So excited for you about the freeze dryer! You will have lots of fun with it I’m sure. Enjoy!
Hi Chelsea - congratulations on getting a freeze dryer. I’ve had one for several years and they are extremely useful. Don’t feel bad about using the Pyrex measuring cup for dry ingredients - I do that too - all my life lol and everything has always turned out just fine
Congrats on the Freezeright!! Woooo hoo!
Ive never made a cobbler with fruit on the bottom
Looks yummy both ways
Goodness, the walk through the woods and then a cozy kitchen, looks like a perfect day.
I didn’t realize there was a difference between measuring cups, but I’m just a beginner when it comes to “real” cooking. It’s great when these discussions come up - learning something new every time I watch these videos. I don’t think there is anything to be embarrassed about as the process of learning is a wonderful gift. Thank you for being open and honest. I am new to your channel and love it! P.S. I am so envious of you getting a freeze dryer! I can’t wait to see what you decide to preserve first. Enjoy!
I never knew the difference between them either till I found out ones for liquid and ones for dry ingredients! I measured a cup in them both and it was the same amount!
I know I'm late to the game but I'm super excited for you and your family for getting your freeze dryer!
I don't have a place to put one not can I afford one at this time but I'm thankful for you. ♥️
I'm so happy for you! They sent you a freeze dryer!!! I hope to one day be able to afford one of those as well! Please keep us posted on your journey with it!
OOH! That's what I should do with my well! The walls of my well is crumbling as well.
Happy for you and the freeze dryer. I have had mine almost 6 years and love it.
