Grandmas fried Chicken / Old Fashion Pear Preserve Hand Pies / Drying Herbs the old ways 

My mom used to pile all the pie scraps and roll out the scraps. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and roll it up like a nut roll, bake and slice. Nice memories 😢

Ms. Lori I wish I could give you a big hug right now!!! Because of you, I made strawberry jam today for the first time ever and it turned out amazing! You are so encouraging and your videos are easy to follow and you take it step by step as if you are right here with me. I can't tell you how much joy it has brought to me today. I kept repeating your words in my mind, " take your time and if you make a mistake it's ok", I always trust you for the best advice and I just want you to know how much I appreciate everything you do. I know this doesn't have much to do with this video, but I needed to share my day with you and let you know how special and what a blessing you and Pa are to me. I love you and Mr. Brown and hope you have a blessed weekend.🫂❤😀

I learned how to make fried chicken exactly like you describe doing it with the exception of peanut oil. I learned using lard. I am 62, learned from my mother who learned from her mother. They came from southeastern Kentucky. I treasure every moment spent with my mother. I pray we get a second chance in heaven to let our loved ones know just how much they were loved while God allowed them to be on His earth. Ms. Lori you are loved.

My grandmother, my mother and I all fry our chicken just like this. We don't let it sit in buttermilk or batter it with eggs. Simply dip in flour, season with salt and pepper and pan fry. So delicious, but for some reason, my Grandma's chicken was the best of all of ours.

Ms. Lori, this is how I learned to fry chicken and pork chops. My grandmother taught my mother and mom taught me. And the white gravy with the mashed potatoes....YUMMY!! Thank you for the reminder. You and Mr. Brown are livin' right, and it your channel is my absolute favorite.

PEAR is my favorite.. hardly no one seems to make pies with this fruit . I would love to see some SAVORY FRIED PIES.. THANKS!!!

Love hearing the stories from the early years and the recipes from the Old days and how they survived the times.

Miss Lori this brings back so many memories. My grandmother would make fried chicken, mashed potatoes,green beans or corn with rolls an fried apricot pies on Sundays. I miss her so much an she help raise me.!! Happy Father's Day Mr. Brown!! Y'all have a blessed weekend!!

Those pies and that chicken look delicious. Great garden.

Hi Ms Lori… my favorite food videos are always about homemade dough of some kind. I remember watching my Granny Daisy making & rolling out dough for biscuits or dumplings & she’d give me a lil ball to play with. I was in my glory! You & Mr Brown are such wonderful down to earth people & I love y’all! GOD BLESS! 🙏♥️

OMG!!!! My Grandma use to take leftover pie crust and put jelly or cinnamon and sugar in strips and nothing went to waste. We could hardly wait for it to come out of the oven. Great memory. Thanks for sharing and bringing forth old memories. I'm 70 and can still remember her kitchen and love.

This 71 year old still likes her chicken cooked this way. My mother cooked hers this way. It's the best.

Oh yes please Miss Lory I'd love to see a video on hand pies with meat and veggies.

What a lovely video! Chicken and hand pies and herbs!❤

I love growing Herbs! I love to smell them and the Mint is delicious! This is how all us southern women fry chicken. Salt, pepper and flour and put in a pan of hot grease or lard! I like using lard but its gotten so hard to find. I don't get enough fat to render down anymore! Can't afford it and our pig farmers are hanging on to what they have for harder times n family! Nothing as good as homemade fried pies no matter what kind you make! That's the way my Mama and family, neighbors, or anybody I ever knew made their crust! My mouth was watering so bad when I saw the pear preserves! I love to eat them in pies, biscuits, on toast, English muffins or by them selves! Love to sop my biscuit in the juice! Absolutely delicious. I grew up on homemade and lived homemade. With 13 of us, we were just simple plain ole poor country folk and at 67, I'm still that way! One thang for sure, we had love, happiness and Jesus in our family! Can't get no better than that here in the mtns of Ga... Thank you Miss Lori.. Happy Fathers Day Mr Brown! Love and Prayers to y'all.. God Bless. 🙏🙏❤❤

You have such a homey kitchen....it looks so comfortable and peaceful.

Hi Miss Lori, you have just made some good food that is fit for a KING!! Oh my goodness, you are awesome!! Yes, yes I would l would love to see a video about meat pies. God bless you and Mr. Brown!!❤️🙏🏻

Ps. Miss Lori love your last video on your life experience on your homestead and plans for retirement and traveling! ❤

Buttermilk brine will make the chicken super tender and it also adheres the flour to the chicken for a wonderful crust. I love Miss Lori’s videos. They warm my heart. It just makes me miss my childhood so, but in a good way. God bless you Miss Lori and thank you for sharing your life with all of us.

Here in Michigan as far as meat pies go. We have a thing called the Patsies the originate out of upper Michigan. We call the U.P. and they have meat in it, Rutabagas, potatoes. A lot of people put different things in it, but that's usually the main ingredient. Little bit of gravy. Very delicious. That's my remembrance of meat pies and all. There's tons of different versions out there, but they are great. They're one of my favorites. They're absolutely delicious! I would love to see you Do another meat pie recipe that'd be awesome!. I love this version as well. God bless you guys!

My mom made a pot roast pie that she called a meat pie..... basically leftover pot roast, potatoes, carrots, onion and gravy covered with a crust that was a cross between biscuit and pie crust baked like a cobbler. So good on a cold day.

Buttermilk acts a tenderizer for the chicken and that's why My late beloved G'Ma always marinated her chicken pieces in Buttermilk for a few hours or overnight before flouring them and pan frying them . Always made for a delicious yummy crispy crunchy crust !

Happy Father's Day to all amazing fathers! Love your new photo collage beginning! I remember so many of these wonderful memories! I so love enjoying time with you Mrs. Lori as you are creating your mouth watering delights!

Congratulations to you both for reaching your 400,000 subscribers!!! Well done and we love both of you.

that's how i dry my herbs . yes it does make house smell great ! happy fathers day to all the fathers out here !

I was born in Kentucky and my grandma had chickens. On Sunday mornings she would get up early kill and dress a chicken and fry it up for dinner after church. Talk.about fresh...... and it was delicious. She always saved the pulley bone piece for me. Love those memories. Love from.Missouri

Yes! Would love a video making meat pies 🤗

Looks so good . Thank you Ms Lori for these wonderful recipes.

Tell your neighbor (and you also) to put a chunk of Irish Spring in an old sock and hang it on the fruit trees and garden and the deer will stay out because of human smells. Works in our peaches.

I just recently found you and I have been binge watching your episodes. I love you guys! My mama passed in February of 2023, after 11 years of my caring for her with Dementia. At the end she did not know me, which was so sad. But watching you reminds me of how she used to cook when I was growing up and beyond. I am 70 years old and I had lost much of the cooking skills my mama taught me. You are rekindling my love of cooking and reminding me of many of the recipes I used to make. Thank you so much for all you do and I hope you continue for many years.

I love the new Intro!!!!!! These all look amazing, Thank You for sharing.

I just love the white with blue stripe mixing bowl you made your dough in - love watching you cook - so homely.

My mom always made rice and country gravy with fried pork chops. It was one of my favorite meals as a kid. I still love to make it myself. There's nothing like country gravy made with those crispies from the bottom of the fry pan! Fried pies......goodness! I, like my mom and my grandmother, add some corn starch to the flour for extra crispness and double flour the chicken. We never forget the small amount of cayenne pepper, too. It does something to the chicken that makes it delicious. Lol. Love all your recipes......they bring back wonderful memories. ❤️

I can't believe it! A video without the Grandfather clock making its presence known!!! 😂😂😂 Another great one Ms. Lori.

Mom let us roll out the scraps and use cookie cutters and sprinkles. Yummy 😊

Thank you for All the things! Happy early Father's Day Mr. Brown! Have a Great weekend!!

I want to wish Pa Brown! A very bless Fathers Day. God bless you both. My grandma raised me. I remember her frying chicken just like this.

Ms Lori these pies and fry chicken looks so delicious thankyou for sharing your videos with us! Love and God bless ❤🙏🏻

O sweet Mrs Lori I could, do, and will always watch any videos you put out. I love y'all ❤ God Bless everything you make looks amazing and delicious 😊

Thanks again Mr and Mrs Brown ❤😊🙏🏻👍

Happy father day Mr.Brown. love your seeing you on RU-vid with your wife and showing how to make different things.

Thank you Mrs lori & Mr.Brown for another great video ! I truly appreciate all the hard work you put into your content . God bless you both Mrs josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas 🙏

My grandma used to just fry up dough and sprinkle with sugar. Yummy like doughnuts.❤

I didn't know preserving herbs was so easy. I have a lot of basil, thyme and rosemary to dry. I have tons of houseplants so the herbs hanging around will fit right in. Thank you Miss Lore, Melaney from SoCal

I agree with everything you said about growing and drying your own herbs! Such a satisfying homemaking activity and the end results so yummy.

Thank you SO MUCH! I would love to see meat pies too!

I don't think there are words to say how much I appreciate you guys. Yall teach me so much about food, life, and who I want to be for myself and in my relationships. Thank you. Sending you both so much love.

Thank you for reminding me of my Mamaws and my Mom’s cooking, I so miss them and their love shown in the delicious dishes they prepared for our family. My TEXAS Mamaws never knew anything but hard work but their homes were full of love and I loved staying with them and helping in their kitchens with my Mama. My Dad’s Mom made the very best fried chicken in her cast iron skillet every Sunday for our dinner (lunch) after church. My Mom’s mother would let me help snap fresh green beans from her garden on her front porch in the summer and my Papaw would bring us fresh small round watermelons he grew for our dessert. The very best memories are these simple ones that were the fruits of their hard labor. PRICELESS! ❤❤❤

God Bless you and Mr Brown and your family as well Miss Laurie. xoxox

Those pies look so good. Thanks for reminding us that they don't have to be perfect.

My grandmother made pie crust with cinnamon and sugar out of the leftover dough. She called her meat pies hobo pies. She also made fruit hand pies. Sometimes she would have juice left over from the fruit and she would make a syrup to pour over the pie.

My mom made those Krispies after making pie too! Us kids just loved them❤. What great memories ❤!

THANK YOU MRS LORI FOR SHARING FOODS LOOKS SO GOOD AND YUMMY LOVE IT I MUST TRY COOKING FRUIT PIES

I've never had a pear fried pie, but looks and sounds delicious. I'll walk an extra lap for all this fried goodness, hee hee. Love the herbs, bet your house smells so good! Have a blessed weekend.😊🌅💖🌻🌸🦋

My Late Husband Loved my Fried Chicken Lost Him 12 yrs ago was married 44 yrs. Miss Him Dearly😢😢

My mom and grandma always made the best fried chicken like you did. Brings back great memories. the hand pies look sooo good, yum! I’ve got mint and lemon balm that I need to harvest. I’m going to hang some in my kitchen now! Blessings and Love!

Brings back wonderful memories. The aroma from the kitchen put an instant smile on your face because you knew you were in for a treat. That fried chicken looked amazing, definitely comfort food.

I love you guys. So refreshing to see true love and an easy style life. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You make my days!

I Love watching you cook! Reminds me of my granny! and meat pies are so good!

The fried pies do look perfect, perfectly delicious! The chicken looks so good. My grandma, my mama and I all salt and pepper our chicken, coat in flour and we fry it in shortening in a cast iron skillet. It might not be the healthiest method but it sure is delicious! That makes me crave some fried chicken. God bless you and Mr. Brown and your family.

I could listen and watch your videos all day!!! I’ve learned so much from you! You explain detail to detail in all your videos. Your voice is so calming. Thank for all you do for us !!

Happy Father's Day! 💙✝️🙏🫶⭐

I would love to see a video using meat and potatoes in a hand pie. I’d love a hand pie like that. Hopefully you’ll have time to do that soon… That’s kinda what Hot Pockets are… homemade would be so much better.. Thank you… Happy Father’s Day to Mr Brown. ❤

I would love to see all of your southern cooking ❤ all of the old recipes are fabulous 🎉🎉🎉 All of your recipes are a gift to us Miss Laurie.

These recipes brought a big smile to my lips, also your plants are some of the prettiest I have ever seen, love your garden plants and spice plants, they are Beautiful.

I just watched your video with the Q and A. Thank the Lord that you've always enjoyed cooking and WANTED to. Your children needed it back in the day and others wouldn't know how. You were blessed.

I like poultry seasoning in the flour when frying chicken added flavor yummy. 😋😋😋

I learn something new every time I watch your videos. I thought self rising flour was a modern invention.😮

Whippoorwill Holler, There are good information and fundamental success skill content in your RU-vid videos. Your lived approach is comfortably relatable. The olden recipes are fun, too.

So peaceful and wholesome living! Love and hugs and God's blessings to ya'll

Yummy delicious.!!

Love listening to ur calming voice during your videos…❤

Love all the herbs!

My mother would roll out the scraps of pie dough ,spread on butter,cinnamonand sugar...she called them French cookies. Every Sunday she fried 4 or 5 chickens..oh that was good..whoever stopped by ate right along with us.. This looks so good

My great grandparents were from Arkansas. She also used simple flour & s&p to fry her chicken. She used a brown paper grocery bag to shake it up & coat the chicken well. She never used buttermilk or eggs either. Always used cast iron & till this day I don't fry chicken in anything but my family's cast iron skillet.

I just noticed 401 thousand!Yay!Yay!Yay! So happy for you, and I hope your channel continues to grow,I know that it will!Looking forward to how you spend your retirement. I hope you don’t retire from YT!

Hey, Miss Lori 💚💗. I love your herbs hanging around! My grandma always had her own chickens and wrung their necks, dipped them in hot water, plucked them, singed them, gutted them and cleaned them up. Quite a process! My mama always used whole chickens and taught me how to cut one up getting the pulley bone out. She just used SR flour, salt and pepper on the chicken and everyone thought my mom’s chicken was the best, and it was ❤. Love your fried pie dough recipe!!!

Love your opening! Music , videos, pictures.

Loved this video - everything looks delicious.

I love the voice overs you do. Love your way of saying things -- so comforting and familiar!

This reminds me of turnovers my mum used to make them with left over pastry and put jam or lemon curd in them and bake them in the oven xxx

My goodness, you made me want to eat dinner again Miss Lori. 😋👍 I love growing herbs to have fresh and dried. Great video! God bless y’all. 😊

Your herbs are so healthy and gorgous. I agree, mint tea is so refreshing iced! I love watching you cook. Thanks and enjoy your weekend!

Love Love the recipes and all the herbs, thank you and God Bless you and Mr Brown

Now, I know I'm going to start growing more herbs. I've got two big rosemary. I've use it for roasts. The deer don't like them either!💗👍👏

So enjoyed your video! The fried pies look delicious! My Mother always made the best pear preserves! The fried chicken is my favorite meal…My Dad always liked to fry the chicken for Sunday dinner and it would be so crispy! Your videos are therapy to me. God bless you and Mr Brown!

Thank you so much for recommending 1000s of roots. Beautiful family!!!!!

I just love every video and every recipe you do! I can’t wait to go down home(NE Arkansas) next weekend and be with my family and have all the foods you share here. Also, I absolutely love how you’ve made up your home! All of the antique pieces give such a warm and inviting atmosphere. I’d give my eye teeth to have a kitchen even half as nice as yours! Have a blessed weekend everyone, and Happy Father’s Day to all you wonderful daddy’s out there!🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing Ms Lori and Mr Brown have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. 🤗🙏❤🙏❤💚

Ms. Lori, Many Thanks to you. For years I've heard about cast Iron skilletFried Chicken yet I had no clue regarding the flour ingredients and most importantly the frying/cooking time w the lid in place. You absolutely transformed my life today! God Bless you and your family.

ounce for ounce, herbs are the most expensive thing in the grocery store and one of the best cost effective things you can grow to save money.....and easy!

This video brings back memories of childhood in the 1950-60’s. One of my grandmothers would wring the chicken’s neck until it came off. Then my brother and I chased the headless chicken around the yard until it fell over. Grandma would then dip it up and down a few times in hot water in the black wash pot. Then she’d pick off the feathers to be kept to make pillows with. The fresh fried chicken at supper time was delicious. In south Arkansas fried fruit and chocolate pies are popular food items to sell for fundraising. Keep the videos coming.

Oh Lori my goodness this meal has my mouth watering so bad! Fried chicken is absolutely my very favorite food and I’m a Texan who loves rice and gravy. You hurt me tonight, Sister 🤣😂🤣😂

Rice and gravy! My all time favorite "go to comfort" food! YUMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miss Lori, thank you. What a blessing this video is, and you surely calmed me on a somewhat frantic workday. I watched on my lunch break. Our mother cooked her delicious fried chicken that way; we loved it. Your home with the herbs drying is charming. ❤

My grandma made all our family's pies. She would give us kids the scraps and help us make jam tarts or cinnamon crisps. I love all your herbs, I'll be harvesting mine soon. 😊

When my oldest sister was teaching me to fry chicken we had rice & gravy and green beans with it. I said I thought you served mash potatoes & gravy w/fried chicken. Her answer was momma always had rice. Your fried pies looked beautiful and tasty.

I use this same recipe for my pies love it

I love watching you and Mr. Brown’s videos. This one kept me company while I mad some whipped cream!

I love hand pies, they looked so good. God bless
