Lifes simple Pleasures! A Pot of the Best Stew! 

This is probably, hands down, one of my absolute favorite videos on RU-vid of all time. Thank you for sharing this. Calm, relaxing, cozy and just feels like "home". God Bless You and Mr. Brown for always posting and giving us joy through your stories and your beautiful hearts.

She said “I couldn’t help it!” When purchasing items at the flea market. She’s so cute!

I was almost late leaving the house for work watching this. Good Job, Ms Lori. Ur so blessed to have each other Mr. and Mrs. Brown.

I love seeing you cook on a wood stove. My grandmother used to tell temperature by putting her hand in the oven. Her baked goods were always perfect. A favorite memory is she would give this little girl a cup of coffee! Of course it was more cream and sugar than their strong farm coffee, but she always paired it with thickly sliced toast with home churned butter to dunk in that coffee. I still will make some buttered toast to dunk in sweet and blonde coffee in her memory once in a while, when I miss her. Thank you so much. You are such a delight to watch and listen to.

Guilty of buying the stew meat. It never occurred to me to buy a chuck roast to cut up. Love making beef stew. It is very comforting listening to you. You remind me of family.

There’s nothing more comforting than beings able to share the loves a woman puts into cooking for those she loves. Your videos are definitely my happy place, Miss Lori. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your love with us, your devoted followers.

Thank you for everything.I have been watching your “Lessons”for a long time and love you both so much!The two of you have been a real anchor for me,since the start of such a tumultuous year!I would go to bed feeling angry and confused and the minute I traveled to Whippoorwill Hollow,I would feel the weight of the world lift away.Everything from your choices of music,to your very soothing voices, to your wonderful talents for teaching have helped me so so much!Please keep up the good work and know that you are sharing a lot more that recipes!

I love the music you choose! I also like the fact there’s no repetitive background music when you are cooking/talking.

I feel like I am sitting at your counter, drinking tea, and visiting with you while you cook. Wonderful channel!!

Today, was “clean out the veggie drawer” day, so, in the pot went a head of cabbage, the last of the potatoes and the last onions and carrots, I dug around in the freezer, found 4 smoked Turkey wings and my my homemade chicken and left over ham broth, (It took my biggest pot, but it is now simmering on the stove)...Not only does it smell yummy, but now my fridge is cleaned out for my Christmas Cooking and leftovers!... (And my January grocery shopping!) ....Most of today’s pot will be dropped off at my neighbors, (with everyone else having kids,being busy working and getting ready for Christmas... ....even with social distancing, that is going on) ....I will have a yummy supper, as well! .....I live alone now, with husband passed away,and kids all grown up and living in another state, but sometimes, I just miss cooking for other people every now and then! ...Nothing feels finer, in the winter,than a good ole’ pot of something yummy on the stove! Your good cooking always inspires me! Thank you, and Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all!

You and I...simpatico. I just took a bowl of stew to a sick friend. God Bless Mrs. Lori. Enjoyed the drive and antiques.

Nothing better than beef stew!....It seems like it's always better the next day. Love your treasures that you brought home! I hope Mr. Brown is happy with his boat. Merry Christmas and God Bless!

So happy to see you put barley in that stew - I love barley in my soups and stews. This looks so good- I would put in onions too but I understand keeping the grand babies happy. Thanks for a great recipe.

I have that gold bowl in green though from my mom who got it in the 50's. Mama is still with us at 98. Maintains her own home still and watches what she eats, worried about her figure still!! Thank you for giving me comfort this past year. My daughter was taken from us by a drunk driver and some days my only peace is watching a couple cooking vlogs on youtube, yours being one of them. I know she is rejoicing in the Lord's presence, but my heart is forever broken. Thank you for your words that give me comfort and delicious recipes

Quaint little shop. Thank you for sharing your town.

I haven't ever bought stew meat but once in 30 years & it was on sale. You're right Lori...they ARE charging you for cutting the meat plus I never know what they're giving me. Rather cut it myself! Thanks for the Baking soda tip ...much appreciated. 🦋🙏🏼 xoxo Anita

Sounds like the price of that stew meat blew you away Ms. Lori ha! ha! Think you forgot your garlic because you were still thinking about the price of the stew meat. I’m glad I’ve already eaten as I just love soups and stews and you are noted for making me hungry. Stay safe love Mary from England

I always get the chuck roasts when they’re on sale. So much you can do with them.

I had never heard of cooking stew in the oven. I will be doing that soon. I don't think Mr. Brown will mind you bringing home a few finds from shopping. He will be too busy smiling and happy about his boat running and thinking about all the fishing he will be doing. Love you two! You and your family have a Very Merry and Blessed Christmas. Thank you for all that you do for the rest of us with sharing your wonderful life and recipes.

You’re stew and biscuits looks so delicious. Wish I was there to eat with you. Merry Christmas!

All these years I have been buying that expensive stew meat until about 3 months ago I got wise and started doing what you did and buy a roast. That way I had a lot to put in the freezer too! Merry Christmas I always look forward to your videos!

That's so strange! I just bought a ton of stew meat on sale last night from when Dixie ( $2.59lb) And was just checking my phone for a good recipe to make beef stew it my new instant pot when this notification popped up!

What a great idea to put barley in the stew, barley is so healthy, and it will be a great thickener. Loved spending time with you today. Mr Brown smelled that stew out on the river and high tailed it home!

You ain't just a whistlin Dixie on the price of stew meat, the same issue here n Ky, I have been buying a roast n duin my own cutting it up n still having some for the freezer (plenty for the two of us)

Oh Mrs. Lori, I want to go, too. My kind of town. My kind of shopping. ♥️🎄😘🎅🏻 Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Brown from Texas. 🤗🙏🏻😷

Yes, meat is ridiculous in North Carolina too!

My mom did me a huge favor. She and my dad left the house for work, not getting home until 6:30 every night. She would leave me instructions on a note pad on how to cook a meal every night Monday through Friday. So I’d get home from school, tidy the house, unload the dishwasher, start dinner and do homework. I did this from 13-17 years old. I learned to scratch cook this way. Soups, stews, spaghetti, Chile, chicken and dumplings and everything imaginable. All with little notes like 1)cut up an onion and brown in oil 2)add stew meat and brown and so forth. (My Dad was a butcher so we always had good meat.)To this day I cook without a recipe, knowing exactly how to cook from scratch. So lucky I learned this early in life. And wow what a great kid I was having dinner on the table every night. Haha being a teenager sometimes that dinner was burnt or undercooked since talking to my friends was more important but that’s ok I learned to multi task! (I too am shocked at the price of stew meat.)

I make cheddar buttermilk biscuits with rosemary in it. Soo good. Love them. Years ago when we first got married I had a great big wood stove in my first house. It didn’t have an oven but I’d make soups an stews on it. So good. You look like you’re plenty warm in the cabin with that stove goin’! My hubbies a big fisherman too. Love it and it’s good for him. One time the boat broke down over in a cove on the lake and they didn’t come home! All night I waited and prayed. When morning came we called the sheriff boat rescue to go searching for those crazy guys. Sure enough about 2-3 hours later here come a big tower with the boat. I was so relieved to see my husband! Added a few more gray hairs to my head! Stew looks yummy! God Bless you all! 🇺🇸

Now that's what I call a stew - home made and hearty, created with love. Another inspiring video, thanks Miss Lori and much love to you and Danny from the stormy and cold UK. XXX

Good morning Miss Lori! I bought the Dutch oven and made this stew last night and it was amazing! Thank you for your hospitality and encouraging words.

I love watching your videos. You’re so genuine! Some cooks I try to watch are so silly and over the top I can’t make it through the whole thing!!

Your husband is a very lucky man to have such a wonderful wife as you!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

I so hope one day you publish a cookbook!!! What a true delight it would be to own a copy of it. Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Brown.

That looks delicious for a cold Winter day! Yum! 👍

wow. my grandma called this swiss steak. she would use round steak strips and use the same process without the veggies and I think she added a little tomato paste and this is the ONE recipe from her, I NEVER learned, thank you so much. While you were working on this it came back to me. Thanks, Miss Lori. 😊😊😊😊

You are soooooooo calming to the soul! Now give me a bite of that wonderful stew, and don’t forget the biscuit! Ohhhh myyyy!

I watched this video a few days ago & thought the stew looked just amazing! So I adapted it for my slow cooker as I don’t have your beautiful wood stove here in the U.K. 👍 can I just say it’s an hour away from eating & it smells so so wonderful! We are going to eat it with freshly cooked bread rolls for a cosy evening meal tonight. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe Ms Lori! Oh & yes I subscribed to your channel! 😘👍

Miss Lori! You MUST write a cookbook! I need another cookbook like I need a hole in the head, but I would SURE get yours! I’ll be waiting! ❤️

I really love watching you...please keep making videos on cooking I love them all 🤗

Nothing better than a big ole pot of stew cooking on the stove! Miss Lori I hope you and Mr Brown have a blessed Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. God bless you both! XOXO 🎄🙏❤️

I got a beef stew in my instant pot right now.😁

I love beef stew one of my favorite things to eat and like yall I put in a lot of carrots. Such a good meal for a cold day or any day haha God bless

There's nothing better than comfort food during cold nights of winter. God bless from Kentucky, Merry Christmas 🎄 to you, & yours. 🙏🇺🇸🙏

Looks delicious! Thank you for taking us along💗

Just 1 of my favorite things to do, wander through antique shops. God bless you Mr and Mrs Brown.

I was just in Hardy last week,got a few pieces,I left one piece I wish I had got.maybe in my next trip. Merry Christmas to the Browns.

I love your vlog! I'm originally from West Texas but have lived all over the world since I was 20 (45 now) and your videos bring me back home to my mom and dad.

Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Brown and family 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

What a wonderful shop!! Love the picture of the Jersey cow & calf!!

That’s what Nani does, love it, and that’s just what this nana does to.🥰🥰

It looks so good and it's cold out so yes this would make a hardy meal to heat up your bones. Thanks for sharing ! Hope Mr Brown's boat works real good for him.

Thank you so much Lori for teaching me how to cook stew. God Bless you both and I hope you have a Merry Christmas.🎄💖

I just started the video but had to stop it to tell you that you have the most wonderful, comforting smile!!!

Oh, my how good that looked. You are the best Ms Lori, and no Mr. Brown won’t care what you bought when he can come home to a meal like that. Love the tour of the antique shop. I saw a lot of dishes I would want. Stay safe. 💕

Brand new to your channel, it’s July 29th, 2024 watching from Bakersfield, California. 🇺🇸 I am a Christian woman 61 years old and my mom never really taught me how to cook so I’m learning from you. I was wanting to lean your way of making spaghetti but all you made were the dry ingredients. Not really tech savvy but I’m learning. I’ve been watching your videos all last night and all this morning. Love how sweet and genuine you are and your Christianity comes through. Just love you. ❤️

Made this today and homemade cheese biscuits for supper tonight. It turned out deliciously! And would like to add we enjoy watching Mr. Brown working on his wood outside. In the Fall it was my favourite time when we would help Dad get the wood ranked up for the winter. My father had four girls and I was the baby and I think he tried to turn me into a boy. LOL! I went to the woods with him always and even had my own little ax for trimming the fallen trees. I remember this so vividly! Keep sharing these old memories please.

Thanks for the recipe. I have that cookbook, it's wonderful. Thanks for the video. MERRY CHRISTMAS. God Bless, stay safe.

I saw a few things in that shop that I would buy. I used to love to go antiquing, as we called it, but haven’t for quite a few years now. Your beef stew and biscuits look so delicious for sure.

Today was just such a day for home comfort food. This was as satisfying to the soul to watch as I am sure it will be to the palate and tummy. Keep doing what you’re doing because it sure is a boon to my soul.

So fun so real!!! It’s like I’d love being in the kitchen helping you prep... thanks for sharing your experience!

Fairly new to your channel and I want to say “thank you “. You always are a comfort and such a treasure to me. This is especially true right now that my husband and I are having to quarantine since we were exposed to the virus. No grandkids for Christmas is so hard but I am reminding myself that the joy of Christmas is still true, no matter what. Thanks for sharing your stories and your life.❤️

That is my kind of beef stew with all the extras you talked about putting in it. Thanks Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

How I love to see a pot that has loved the family. So real.❤

Miss Lori I Am 78 Years Old, And I Love Your Down Home Cooking.!!!! I Was Shocked To See You Trim That Fat Off. That Is What Gives Your Soup Or Stew Such A Great Flavor. I Love Your Channel, And May God Bless You And Mister Brown.!!!!

Oh my goodness! I just made a pot of beef stew yesterday. We must be thinking alike! Merry Christmas and God bless!

This is cool! ❤️❤️

My son trained as a meat cutter. He said the steak trimmings became stew meat. I buy bottom round roast, freeze it for a couple of hours, then cut it into small chunks for stew. I make my stew in my Instant pot. Merry Christmas!

I wanted to tell you, I remodeled my bathroom, I really wanted a vessel sink, but I hated the modern looking sinks they had for a antique buffet I wanted to use as a cabinet, soooo I went to the flea, I found a old bread bowl, took it home sanded it on the inside, sealed it, had a hole drilled for a drain.. and walla... beautiful new sink for a old time bathroom.. my next one in the downstairs powder room, on a antique wash stand is going to be a old oval enameled dish pan, like the kind they used to use for a baby bath, I also found it at the flea market in great shape.. no chips, stains or rust..

OMG that stew looks great, just like grandma used to make, I can taste it already

GREAT

Nothing says LOVE like home cooked food with love.

I was so shocked to see you in Hardy, Ar. My grandmother had a store there for years in the old courthouse in Hardy, I spent my summers up there in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Thank for bringing back fond memories.

You can never have too much garlic or cheese :-)

Here in California I just bought the same roast for the same price!!!! We do roast beef and ham for Christmas!!! Your stew looks so yummy!!!

Just want to tell you and yours MERRY CHRISTMAS, and I love ALL YOUR VIDEOS it reminds me of my past and how precious those times were when my parents were living they were born in the 20s my dad every Christmas bought old fashioned candy and tangerines the house smelled so good just a simple time with good food made homemade. Thank you for all you do love it.

Regarding your haul from town, olden is golden! Blessings to you.

I want to go with you lol.That stew looks fantastic. I have a pot like yours in which I would love to put in the oven,but it’s really heavy. I like to cook in heavy pots. God bless you and your family, be safe.

Beef stew is delicious and yes, beef here is expensive too. I learned something new about adding baking soda to flour for browning. Will have to try that next time. Thank you!

Your stew looks wonderful!

Looks amazing ! I add whole pieces of celery and a whole onion or pepper that I can easily remove for the folks don’t like the veggie but I still have the flavor in the stew

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Have a blessed evening, stay safe and healthy 🙏🥰😋👍👌🦅🔔🗽🇺🇸🙏

My aunt always cooked on a wood stove. Everything tasted so much better and she never knew anything else until after my uncle passed. She was a really good cook.

Love the little day trip. The movie so so funny. You cook with such love Thank you for being you. Fills my heart.

Looks delicious love cheddar biscuits. Miss Lorie you and Mr. Brown have very Merry Christmas. God Bless

Your beef stew looks delicious! I always cut up my own beef. I love the items that you bought! Take care, be safe, God bless!

Nothing like a good old Stew Miss Lori. I like Suet Dumplings in mine! Hope you're both well.

I'll wrestle or are you crack me up made my day thanks for being real

Well Miss Lori I have done this for years. I have never bought stew beef because of the price. I wait till roast goes on sale then buy it and cut it up.

Stew looks great the kids want my homemade lasagna for Christmas dinner 😋

Merry Christmas Miss Lori and Mr. Brown. Christmas Blessings to you and yours.

I bet it is nice and cozy in your cabin. Smells good too ❤️❤️❤️

Oh, that looks so good. I think I need to make this soon!

Looks delicious and very hearty!

OH Miss Lori I see you have a wood cook stove oh how I would love to come eat with you , my mom had her wood stove until 1995 and my brother got her a electric stove and she didn't like it but she had to use it because my brother wasn't able to keep the wood for her , oh how I miss those days. Lots of love to you and God bless you and your family 💓

Wishing you, Mr. Brown, and all of your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May the new year bring all of you continued blessings, joy, and peace. God bless you all. Much love to you.
