For anyone on the fence, the cookbook is absolutely worth it! I gotten rid of most cookbooks and saved recipes digitally, but this one is worth it. It’s more than a cookbook… it’s a text book. Having it organized the way it is and all of the helpful notes are just so so good. I can’t wait to start using it! The free curriculum is incredibly well done and should be a must for any family who wants their children to have great kitchen skills and be able to make things for themselves. I can’t wait to get started!! Printing it is out today and putting it in sheet protectors and a binder!!! Thank you so much Mary! You are a real treasure! A true blessing! What an impact you’re having on the world!
My daughter was 13 when she went through this type of radiation treatment. It was her second surgery for brain cancer (Astrocytoma stage II, diffuse) it's amazing how strong/brave our children are in extreme, life changing circumstances. We were told she would never graduate from high school....... she's now 25. Over coming challenges to be a nurse, her life long dream. Hang in there, God has a plan far beyond our imagination.
I’m an expert in judging male handsomeness. I can assure you, your son is INDEED in the top 10% of pure handsomeness. His smile and high spirit are extra major brownie points. 😘😉 Thank you for sharing all your family struggles and faith, smiles and hope all the way.
Wow, Mary! I will be praying for you, your husband and your son. God’s more than able to heal! We also got married later in life and had my last son at 42. We chose to homeschool them also, over 25 years. They are all adults now. In the last three plus years, my mom, also passed away. Your testimony of what God is doing through prayer is so encouraging! I truly enjoy your channel and like listening to you. You have given such wisdom and I love listening to your voice. Be blessed!
Mary your warmth and genuine warmth is so beautiful. Prayers for your precious son Ben and your sweet family. We are a family and you are the heart of this family. May God continue to bless you and your work that helps so may of us! ❤
Mary, thank you for sharing your family with us. My mom passed away almost 3 years ago the day before her 90th birthday. I realized that no matter how long you have your mom, it’s never long enough. And Mother’s Day is still hard. Blessings to you and your family.❤❤
Just found your channel, today. SO IMPRESSED My son almost died in the early hours when he was 2 years old. It turned out he had a cancerous tumour behind his breastbone. His thalamus gland (which helps the immune system in childhood and atrophies as they grow) had grown so large it was pressing on his trachea. He went through 6 hours of open chest surgery and they removed 2 lbs weight of tissue. Ubfortunately, the cancer had spread to the heart tissues and major arteries. Two years of chemo (some of the injections VERY painful), spinal taps, spinal injections and brain irradiations. At this point, a clinic visit gave me the news that the cancer they couldn't cut out around these organs, had been eradicated. I was extatic and saying how grateful I was that he had been "cured". She looked at me like I had a screw loose, then told me that he would never be cured; that his cancer (lymphosarcoma) had long remission periods but he would eventually develop leukaemia (unknown which type or whether treatment for that would be successful). No-one had had the guts to tell me that his particular cancer was ultimately fatal. He is 48 now. The treatments he was given affected his growth (more injections!), adversley stunted the roots of his teeth, affected his vocal chords and speach plus some residual brain damage (when I asked what the consequences of the brain irradiations would be, the consultant said "We won't know until he grows up") Two years ago (he has to go to the late effects clinic every year) they found he had a small brain tumour growing near his spinal chord at the base of his neck. He was referred for gamma knife treatment. As you described, not pleasant to have, although not as brutal as invasive surgery. Thank goodness your sons initial cancer was benign; the regrowth left behind from surgery also likely to be benign. Cancerous cells can't all be seen by the naked eye and surgeons have to guess that they have cut out enough to get "clear margins". Please, PLEASE, insist that he gets YEARLY checks. Don't let the medical profession fob you off and prematurely discharge him. A small tumour is easier to treat, and cancer cells, even benign, are unpredictable. It may be different in the USA; we live in the UK and, although free, rationing of expensive tests happens. I hope he has a good caring doctor. Stay vigilant. With very best wishes to you all and I hope Ben experiences NO MORE recurrences. Trisha South Yorkshire UK PS It looks like I will be binge watching your videos for the next few weeks! Lol PRAYERS TO YOU ALL.
Mary, you've got the million subscribers, you know what you're doing. Just keep doing it. I'm a firm believer in "if it ain't broke don't fix it". And your thumbnails are great.
I’ve followed you since Covid and can say you helped me get through that awful time. Canning, cooking, growing, preserving etc. have become a way of life. May our good Lord bless you and your beautiful family and give special grace to your son. Happy Mother’s Day!!
One reason I bought your wonderful cookbook is because you offer free homeschool curriculum. Thank you. I’ll be teaching it for high school homeschoolers and requiring that they buy the book for the class and as a lifetime reference.
I bought the modern cookbook for my granddaughters as well as several other fine RUclips authors. I believe it is now to get these in the hands of the younger generations. Thank you for your faithfulness to us your viewers.
Wishing you a Happy Mother's Day Mary. 💐This one may be bittersweet since losing your mom but you have the special gift of your sweet son. Enjoy your time together.
Mary, I could see the emotion in your eyes when you told your story. I just about cried! I'm so thankful for how things turned out with Ben--PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!!
My Dad did gamma knife twice, and did wonderful. He had trigeminal neuralgia. It is amazing procedure and relieved my dad of that horrible pain. Prayers for your son, for you and your husband. And best wishes and congratulations on your book.
I have trigeminal neurology from my dentist nicking the nerve when he numbed the area to work on my bottom molars. How does gamma knife work for my situation?
I just love you, Mary. You have no idea what a blessing and encouragement you are to me. I've learned so much from you and I'm praying for you and your family. Jesus is so faithful!
God bless you and your husband and son. God bless you with daily awareness of His presence, care, and love for ya'll through Jesus Christ, His Son. Praying for your son's total and permanent healing.
I bought your very 1st printing. It is a staple in my kitchen. It is like no other cookbook I have ever purchased. Some of the things you taught me, I had never seen or heard before. Thank you for all you do. Happy Mother’s Day 🌸 Dear Mary

I attended The Modern Homesteading Conference in Coeur d'Alene. I went to one of your workshops & enjoyed it very much. I wanted to meet you, but there were so many people that it just didn't work out. I enjoy your you tube channel & have your Modern Pioneer cookbook. I love it & can't wait for the next one to come out. Thank you for what you do for us.
Mary, I'm so glad you've had great success with your cookbook. I love it! One thing that could make another cookbook even better--a larger font for the actual recipes. Old eyes like mine would appreciate it. I'm looking forward to the next one. God bless you for your generous heart.
Mary, so sorry to hear about your son Ben. and your Mother. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. As a Mother myself, I could not imagine going through this. This brings me to tears just thinking about what you have went through and are goling through.
Mary you are the absolute warmest, sweetest person on RUclips. I'm glad your not changing your format, as the saying goes "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Please know that you and your beautiful family are included in my prayers. Thank you for all that you teach and share with us! May God Bless you!
Thank you, Mary, for sharing! You’ve been through a lot. I’m so happy to hear the radiation treatment your son had is working! I have learned so much from you and your RUclips channel. And I know I’m going to learn a lot more. Thanks again!
Oh Mary, my own precious Mother passed on Christmas Eve this past year and it's been tough. My prayers and heart go out to you. Congratulations on the upcoming book and all of your other future efforts! I love your channel and your book. I do believe I will download your curriculum and use it for my daughter next year. This is the time of year, as I wrap up the current school year, when I begin planning for our next school year. I am also so sorry about Benjamin! I am glad that his treatments are working and will lift him and your family in prayer. He is always so nice when you have him on your videos. God bless!
I am so sorry for all of the trauma you have walked through this year. I pray that God would bless and comfort you and your family and continue to hold you in His loving arms.
I feel blessed to have found you. What fantastic information! DEFINITELY a new fan here! I live just 30 minutes north of Coeur d'Alene so I will be looking forward to going to the homesteading conference to see you!

Dito!
Hahaha. 😉 Very cute comment. Very cute son. And he was a gorgeous little boy. Sweet and cute.

Oh Mary my heart broke for you hearing about your Dear son! & For him! Praying for total healing for your son!❤
Just found your channel, today. SO IMPRESSED

I'm so pleased to hear that Ben is recovering. I will pray for that sweet, handsome, young man.
I’ve followed you since Covid and can say you helped me get through that awful time. Canning, cooking, growing, preserving etc. have become a way of life. May our good Lord bless you and your beautiful family and give special grace to your son. Happy Mother’s Day!!

Thank YOU for being here!! Love, Mary
Just brilliant. I would have never thought to make a children's curriculum for this. Oh how I wish you were around when I was a young mother.
I love your real-life "set." You show us--especially the younger women--that we don't need empty counters and the latest magazine styles.
I totally agree. She's so real and down to earth. It's very much needed for us.
Dear Mary, I hope your heart is healing. I'm glad things are looking better for your son. I'll be praying for him and all of your family.
Thank you for your update. You are such a delight to watch. ❤
Mary, I could see the emotion in your eyes when you told your story. I just about cried! I'm so thankful for how things turned out with Ben--PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!!

I have trigeminal neurology from my dentist nicking the nerve when he numbed the area to work on my bottom molars. How does gamma knife work for my situation?

You are so gifted, and thanks for educating us!!...especially even during such hard personal times!! I can't even imagine how strong you and your family are!

I attended The Modern Homesteading Conference in
Coeur d'Alene. I went to one of your workshops & enjoyed it very much. I wanted to meet you, but there were so many people that it just didn't work out. I enjoy your you tube channel & have your Modern Pioneer cookbook. I love it & can't wait for the next one to come out. Thank you for what you do for us.
Mary, I'm so glad you've had great success with your cookbook. I love it! One thing that could make another cookbook even better--a larger font for the actual recipes. Old eyes like mine would appreciate it. I'm looking forward to the next one. God bless you for your generous heart.
Thank you, Mary, for sharing, you are such a precious person. I just love your food program. I am Afrikaans speaking, from SA. ❤
Oh Mary, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. 💔🙏
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and praying for you and your family.
All glory be to God. Ben is God’s creation and precious son as well. Bless you Mary, Ben, and to your husband as well.
Mary, so sorry to hear about your son Ben. and your Mother. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. As a Mother myself, I could not imagine going through this. This brings me to tears just thinking about what you have went through and are goling through.
I feel that I know you personally too. You are so friendly and personable that you make me feel like we are really friends even though we haven’t met.
Congrats Mary!!! You are my go to when looking for information.
Mary you are the absolute warmest, sweetest person on RUclips. I'm glad your not changing your format, as the saying goes "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Please know that you and your beautiful family are included in my prayers. Thank you for all that you teach and share with us! May God Bless you!
Thank you, Mary, for sharing! You’ve been through a lot. I’m so happy to hear the radiation treatment your son had is working! I have learned so much from you and your RUclips channel. And I know I’m going to learn a lot more. Thanks again!
Oh Mary, my own precious Mother passed on Christmas Eve this past year and it's been tough. My prayers and heart go out to you.
Congratulations on the upcoming book and all of your other future efforts! I love your channel and your book. I do believe I will download your curriculum and use it for my daughter next year. This is the time of year, as I wrap up the current school year, when I begin planning for our next school year.
I am also so sorry about Benjamin! I am glad that his treatments are working and will lift him and your family in prayer. He is always so nice when you have him on your videos. God bless!
Always have loved your Thumbnails & will never be tired of them. Their the best! Ty!
God bless you and your family! I’ve watched your videos for several years now and I love every one. Love you. ❤
I am so sorry for all of the trauma you have walked through this year. I pray that God would bless and comfort you and your family and continue to hold you in His loving arms.
I feel blessed to have found you. What fantastic information! DEFINITELY a new fan here! I live just 30 minutes north of Coeur d'Alene so I will be looking forward to going to the homesteading conference to see you!
