Homestead Breakfasts ~ Dairy-Free Yogurt ~ Fermented Honey ~  

I have say that Lil miss Hannah is just the sweetest thing. I loved seeing her laying on her sheepskin and smiling away at the woodstove. She is so beautiful and precious. You have truly been blessed. God bless sweet Hannah and the rest of your beautiful family. Love your videos and thank you for what you do.

The days you share a video, my day always goes better. I always look forward to your next videos, and while I wait, I'm rewatching your videos. Thank you for sharing your life with us, I know you're so busy, and I appreciate it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us all how do do so many things! You are so inspiring 💕

Seeing David laughing at the beginning was heartwarming ❤ prayers for another great week ahead!

Honey mead vinegar? Ohhhhh that sounds amazing for a vinaigrette on spinach bacon salad with some strawberries!

I love the way her oldest son always spends time talking to her in the kitchen ❤️ love to see the bonds your family has. It's especially comforting to those who have lost family or never had these close relationships. God bless! Love that the challenge is still going strong

Yay! You're over 100k subscribers. Congratulations!👏👏👏 Your channel is growing fast & I look forward to watching you every week. Thanks for sharing your wisdom & ideas❤️

Great video! Anna at the fermented homestead recently did a video about canning jelled bone broth. She puts a chicken foot in each jar when processing it and it still jelled when finished processing. Was a very interesting video with lots of information on the whys and hows of the jelling process.

Thank you so much for posting dairy free meals! Our daughter is dairy free and gluten free and your videos really help give us ideas. So many other homesteads are heavy on the dairy which just does not work for us.

Oh my! What a wonderful sheep skin rug for your baby. What a beautiful gift….She’s lovely Jessica. Your so blessed to have children. I could never…God said No

You just rock Jessica!!!! Super happy to see this video this morning!!! God Bless you and your family!!! 💒🙏🌹🌹🌸🌸💮💮

Jessica you think outside the box which is so refreshing and makes your meals different every time and never boring. Happy birthday to the handsome 14 year old.

I love your channel and videos, thank you!! I would recommend waiting to add the craisins to your granola until after it's done baking (add w the chocolate chips). Baking them can dry them out even more. ❤️

Just so you know, Carolyn at Homesteading Family freeze dried her broth, and said when she rehydrated it the collagen wasn't damaged so it was still gelatinous. I figured since you already have a freeze dryer you might want to give it a try, plus then a quart jar on the shelf would hold a LOT and free up some space for other things.

Your broth looks beautiful! Hannah is growing so fast ! Happy birthday to your son ! All the kids look so happy and healthy! Loving the pantry challenge ! Filled bellies are always a good goal !

I loved seeing your whole family laughing so hard at the candles. Also Hannah is adorable. I have cared for hundreds of newborns ( nicu nurse) and love a happy breastfed one. I really appreciate your non-dairy recipes as I am allergic to dairy as well. Thank you for this helpful content. Sarah

Cannot wait for the honey Meade recipe. Again you use it all even when you were not expecting it! Winter is making its final bow-slowly but surely. Spring is close. I love going thru spring seed catalogs and planning. Hannah will be sitting next to the little boys soon. She is growing and seems very content. Thank you for breakfast ideas. I can carry on with my week now. Blessings~

Baby Hannah is adorable, I love how she is always a part of all your family activities and how all the children fuss over her ❤

A couple years ago I made caramel apple pie jam and I’m thinking that would be good to use like you did your pear butter in “cinnamon rolls”.

What a great video. Hannah falling asleep by the fire made me smile so big!

Hannah is beautiful, as are all your children. I love starting my Sunday morning with your videos.

I love the idea of the challenge of learning what you really use and what you are missing. You have such a pleasant manner of sharing moments with others.

Chicken feet make great broth. Good for you for using everything you can….♥️

Hannah at the end was so ❤❤❤💗💗💗🧡💯💖💖💔💘❣💟💕

I admire how you normalize using every part of the chicken (and cow in last weeks vid). Growing up in the USA and now living on a boat and traveling to remote places, so many cultures utilize all components of an animal, and it’s delicious!

Even if you may lose a little nourishment in the broth it's still 100% better then store brought! Love watching you be creative when you what to use up your food! Everything looks so yummy! Learning so much from you. Hannah is so precious! And love how your daughter helped you with the pantry! "Happy 14th Birthday David!🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

I LOVE this video! Great breakfasts, I make the hashbrown casserole & the cobbler regularly, need to try the Dutch baby that way it looks yummy. I’ve been craving pear butter but didn’t get any put up last fall. A local market has pears for 99 per pound so I’ll make a mini batch this week. Very interesting about the honey, never knew it could ferment; glad you could still make use of it. I use chicken feet but always just a couple along with bones & meat … does the broth with only feet still have good chicken flavor? Your sweet Hannah is adorable, that first shot her she looked so much like her Daddy 🤗. What an awesome gift that sheep skin is! Hope everyone has a great week

Happy Birthday David!! That 🕯 blowing was so fun to watch! Thanks for inviting us into your family to celebrate! I love how organized you are with your pantry! You inspire me! Thanks Jessica! God Bless

Thanks for Sharing! Baby Hannah is just gorgeous! So precious! All your meals looked delicious!!!

I am going to have to go back and write this stuff down. I have a lot of allergies and your recipes help me to eat again! Thank you for sharing your already tried and true recipes.

I love seeing life schooling. That is how my daughter learned. She was not a book person. But we worked on spelling in ways like you did with your daughter. I tried to have her do bookworm and she would get so frustrated and not get it but if I did something like you did. She would get it with no problems at all. I love watching your videos.

Could you give me the name and where you purchased your clothes rack from. Thanks!!

Thanks for another enjoyable video. I appreciate your time to give us these videos with your busy family. You help show people how to not be wasteful with food and the versatility in dishes (ie: leftover sloppy joe) and gosh do we live in a wasteful world. We had some honey get fermented, it was b/c of being in a warm room, honey really should be kept in cool space (basement). In joining with the pantry challenge, I'm doing your "empty 7 jars and fill 7 jars"...mostly chicken breasts and pork we need to get out of the freezer and that will be a great quick grab in the summer to top on our garden salads as a main meal lunch.

I really like ginger with pears. Don't know if they make ginger extract.

Your meals always look so good! As a child I lived a lot with my grandparents and I ate chicken feet which my grandma called scratchers. I grew up very poor and eating whatever was put in front of me. It was always home grown or raised.

You can also make yogurt, if you don’t want to put the oven or crock pot on, by wrapping them in a heating pad and towels and stick them in a laundry basket. I learned this years ago before I had a crock pot. lol Great video Jessica!

Enjoyed it! Can't believe David is only 14 and so talented! Happy Birthday David!

I always look forward to starting my Sundays with your video. Thanks for sharing and have a great week! ❤

Jessica can you please tell me the title of the video where you made the Chia Pudding? I bought the Chia seeds but can't find the recipe.. Thanks. Anna In Ohio

Your Instant Pot is great for making broth, maybe you will give it a try! I make broth from the same bones twice and it gives you the double amount and it is still delicious! Enjoy your sunday! Greetings from Germany!😍

Wow…I never knew that about Honey. Great tip!

🌷 Spring is in just six weeks or so. Your mentioning What or What Not to grow jn your garden this year had me reaching for my big container of SEEDS. Oh. My! What Joy, planning ahead and thinking of hands in the dirt again. THANK YOU ALL.

Happy 14th birthday dear! 🎉❤

Happy Birthday to you son! One of our boys turned 14 last week. We are still enjoying the pantry challenge. We will be doing it at least through February. God bless you and your family. Have a great week!

🙋🏼‍♀️ pro chef here again, chicken feet make THE BEST chicken broth!

I just made yogurt. It came out semi runny, but tastes good. I don’t know why it’s runny? Maybe I didn’t put enough culture in it? I used 2 tablespoons. I used organic milk, organic yogurt and after cooking, cooling I put everything in a quart jar. I did bring milk to proper temp and then put in fridge. Oh…, ok…mine looked like yours….

When companies process them for buying at the store, they don't wanna know what all goes into them at the big factories

We just subscribed now, we love your content! We bought an island in the Canadian wilderness this past summer and your channel is one that we'll be happy to gain inspiration from - keep up the good work!!!

If you insulate around your hive it will keep your bees warmer, and they will need extra feeding as food is scarce. add a bottle sugar water with a slow drip and sugar patties in the top of hive where they can easily access it and between the food and heat uou might be successful.

In the Philippines they fry them kind of like Cracklin‘s they do remove the toenails but pretty much they’re just chicken feet and my husband said they were delicious course he served in the military for 22 years in the Navy so he has tried things that we were just here in the states we just think you yuck but he says are actually quite good he said reminded him of Cracklin‘s so I can see there being made into broth they would be absolutely awesome

Hello 3 Rivers... there is a home- steader in Alaska who "wraps" her beehives in 2" thick styrofoam insulation panels leaving a hole near the entrance to the hive so that the bees can discard any dead bees. She basically makes a box to surround the hive. She also makes a "fondant" for the bees to feast on if she harvested too much honey. I'm sure there are RU-vid channels that can help you find how to over winter your hives. Little miss Hannah is getting big. I love how your children are so eager to help. Till next time.

You’re a very imaginative cook, and that’s a wonderful compliment!!!

Ahhh chicken feet.😋 Try jellied meat made with broth made from chicken feet. A delicious, nutritious meal full of collagen.

You van freese honey. Sorry my english is bad A am from Sweden 😁😁

Hey Jessica! Lord Bless you! I have not watched in a bit but caught up with your family the other day - Hannah is such a blessing!! Do you have any recommendations on how to cut meal costs without throwing in a ton of starch like rice and pasta? My son and I are GF/DF, and my husband and oldest are not - however, too many starches for us equals excess weight. I did make lentils the other day! 🙌🏻 Also, that Dutch baby recipe looks AMAZING!

I appreciate your ideas for gluten free and dairy free items. Thank you.

I used to teach English to adults from different contries and sometimes they would bring me bbq chicken feet a little hard to eat but yummy.

Did you know you can pasteurize your honey by heating it up to 145 degrees for 30 minutes when you harvest it to keep it from fermenting?

I have started canning broth this year. Everything I read says you have to let it cool and take the fat off. Do you not have to do that?

Hannah is so cute!! I had never heard of fermented honey before. I’m glad you found some tips on how to save the fermented part!

Beautiful baby, and I'm sure those feet were very clean!

You have a beautiful relationship with your children. It's admirable. Lovely video as always and so much to learn from it. 🖤🐈‍⬛🙏

So happy o watch your videos. I have learnt so much from you and your beautiful fam xx

I found your nasturtium salt intriguing. How do you make it and what is the flavor?

Thank you for all your wisdom, creativity and blessing us with your happy children!! Makes our day!!!

THAT was great he thought the relight candles were funny!! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to him!!

Love the children they make me smile and feel good. Congrats on making 100 subscribers. Your video are very informative. God bless you and your family. 6:08

I just started watching your channel, I love your calming informative videos!

Jessica, I fully understand why you must be a dairy free family, please understand my question that I have been wondering for a while. My question is… do you ever periodically re-test if allergies are still present And do you know if any of your other children have them as they aren’t allowed in their diet. How will your son adjust when he’s off to college when you have managed his diet for him all his life, does he have to skills and knowledge to keep him safe?

I so enjoy your videos especially the dairy-free and gluten-free options. Do you ever use gluten-free flour when making pie crusts, pizza dough, cobblers or baked goods so that you can enjoy them also or do you need to restrict your sugar too much to enjoy them? I am dairy and gluten-free.

Good morning!!! Wow, I would be really happy to sit and have breakfast at your house!!!! Your family is so precious. Thanks for sharing your recipes. Gods blessings 🙏

Jessica I love your videos, baby iHannah is so beautiful and your kids are a joy to watch. Please keep the videos coming, I look forward to them.

Jessica love your video's, I can't wait to try the dutch baby type custard. Lots of applesauce to use up.

Well Hannah Is not getting any shortage of love. Great video learned a lot today. I have never Seen honey Forminute before. I'm happy that everything looks well at your home. I pray that you all stay well.

Thanks for the video🙏blessings

I was wondering what mead was so i had to look it up. Then it reminded me of a drink my friends family (they're Polish) would make for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I dont know their version was with fermented honey or not but they served it in shots, water honey and some kind of liquor. It very well could have been the fermented honey and water. I thought it was horrible and didnt like it, every one else loved it lol, i just dont like alcohol

Wonderful vlog & so creative; thanks for sharing! This senior gramma is still learning as my mom did all her cooking while we were away at school,so I am appreciative of this wisdom you share! Home schooling really teaches the children real life situations where they learn tons more than what books can alone! True apprenticeship! Blessings to your family & all on this journey🤗💜🇨🇦

Hi Jess, I had bought local honey and one batch so far fermented I really wasn’t sure what to do with it. Mine had nothing to pour off, it was all pale in color and liquidity but very fermented in smell. I had read you could feed it back to your bees. My sister who had bees wasn’t sure she wanted to do that. 😊

I always look forward to your videos. You always have great ideas to use up everything

Enjoy all your video’s. Grandpa used to eat the chicken feet. The rest of the feet went into making broth, makes great broth. Nothing went to waste. Thanks for ideas for pear butter, made a lot of this and need to use

We used to have chicken feet soup with barley loved it as a kid love watching you make so many different breakfast meals your a great mum love watching you Hanna has grown so quick ok off to bed it’s 23:37 pm love Kathy from Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺

You all are amazing!! I’m learning so much! Today I made a note to SAVE all my kale stems in the freezer for broth making!

Wow, great video. I didn't know that honey would ferment like that. And I'm looking forward to seeing how you go about making mead with it. I thank you for all the great ideas for breakfast organizing my canning. Bless little Ms. Hannah and her new little bed, so cute. God's blessing over you and all of your beautiful family.

I like watching the meals you come up with. I'm doing the challenge too, I wish my videos were as good as yours. Thank you for doing this and inspiring others to join.

Wow! 9 jars of broth from what some would consider trash. I love how you never have any food waste. Turning leftovers into a different meal so nothing goes to waste.

It's pretty amazing to have watched you preserve all of these things over the summer and then seeing them in use months later.

I just reassessed our canning space also and found we were out of dilly beans it was my first year making them and all the kids loved them i added a chili pepper to half of them and regular the other half. We didn’t have a great bean harvest last year hopefully we will this year

Love you ! You are such a loving and talented mama !!!

I'm new to you and your channel I had twins 7moths ago and learning we had allergies, someone suggested watching you and I'm binge watching you have made my life 50percent better as starting new foods into my boys life almond milk thank you bacon grease thank you my boys are devoroing mashed potatoes thank you

I like your new format for the pantry challenge. All breakfasts, all snacks etc. A nice approach! Congrats. I look forward to each new video.

It's just last week that I made chicken leg broth; after years of refusing to try it, my hubby decided it was delicious:)) I make it as often as can get hold of chicken feet because I have joints issues, so any bones are welcome. I got a bit drunk when I was 18 because I didn't know mead had alcohol, and it was so refreshing in the summer heat, LOL

oh my goodness that's the prettiest baby I've ever seen

I can't wait until you show us how to make mead.

Lol the blueberry faces ❤

Fermented homstead taught us to Cann 2 chicken feet in each quart and it will retain its gelatin! Yay! 😁

Aww happy late birthday 🎉

Hope you had a great Birthday David. 🎉

Yum...chicken feet broth. LOL. I just made my first batch a few weeks back and oh my was it delicious...the most gelatinous that I've ever made...great job once again...Happy birthday to your birthday child...I thought you said son, but the video showed one of your daughters....either way...I pray their day was awesome! Little Hannah is so sweet. Thank you for sharing...

Hi,You mentioned something about problems with raising bees!! Watch Simple Living Alaska. Watch how they protect the bees over winter. And just see how big their garden is!!!

We’ve always used the chicken feet back in Romania. Not even for broth, but mom would incorporated them in other meals. We used everything…..
