Meet the Mysterious Woman Living Alone in the Mountains and Her Poppy Seed Bread! 

I think most of us love watching Maria because we love the simple, solitary life she lives. Besides that I have never seen a woman so efficient. Maria is a joy to watch.

I love watching Maria cook in her simple yet effective kitchen. She has so many skills: cooking, baking, singing, embroidery, animal care, sewing etc. She's amazing.

I love watching these videos of Maria. She gives us feelings of gratitude and peace. It is completely connected with nature.

Maria has a self confidence and she deos her job with enthusiasm that's why I feel The joy watching her....it is a very relaxing time....❤❤❤❤

Beautiful Maria please don't ever change. This pitiful world has so few like you. Having coffee and Maria video before a hustle to work. God bless and keep you safe. Western North Carolina

I love watching Maria cook. I can watch her all day long. She is an amazing woman and she’s very pretty too. ❤❤❤

I love it whenever Maria sings! She has such a lovely voice. I enjoy all of her videos as it reminds me how people lived 100+ years ago.

Все что делаете Вы, Мария, делала моя бабушка. В такой же точно посуде терла мак, с помощью моркотец и макахон, и делала такой же формы вертуты. Она была 1906 года рождения, царство ей небесное. Спасибо Вам за тёплые воспоминания моего детства. Вы невероятно проворны и на славу делаете всё со знанием и большой любовью. Обожаю смотреть Вас. Через 4 года, в 67 лет, если доживу, я выйду на пенсию и вернусь в дом моих прадедов. Я буду делать то же самое. Такая жизнь нелегка, но взаимодействие с природой, несёт душевный покой, ясность мысли, стабильную самооценку потому-что Вы видите результат созданного Вашим трудом и Вашими руками всего к чему Вы прикасаетесь. В принципе, в этом и есть суть человеческого существования. Что бы не делали по жизни, мы нуждаемся во всём этом. Береги Вас бог от этой ненавистной войны. Мир с Вами и с Вашим народом.

I love Maria videos!! Love the singing and the embroidery! Thanks for continuing to post videos of her! She is my favorite!

Cele mai frumoase și minunate vloguri! Maria, felicitări pentru ceea ce faceți!🤗❤🙏🌹

This lady-maria is a gem,her cooking skills,her cleanliness,her hard work is breath taking.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You cook like my mom did. She learned from her parents, my grandparents, that immigrated to Canada from Ukraine. They were farmers in Saskatchewan. It was a very hard life for them at first. Winters were terrible. I mostly have to measure ingredients for things like breads. Thank you for the video.

Simply an amazing women! O God let Maria's sacrifice rise up to You as a sweet fragrance of Love, Faith, Hope, and Enduring blessings, on all Ukrainian People, Most especially on their Children. O Jesus, You, the King of Divine Mercy, cover Maria, her family and all of the Ukrainian people with Your Infinite Mercy, Through the merits of Your Precious Blood we pray. May a special Blessing of Love, Health, and safe keeping, be upon Maria and her helpers. Dearest Theotokos, most beloved, with the help of Saint Michael the Arch Angel and Saint Olga of Kyiv. Protect Maria and her people, Raise up a Holy support for Ukraine, their people and all those who support them. God be Blessed, Praised, and Glorified, in all things!!! God Bless You Maria, for standing in faith in God for us. ❤❤❤

From Michigan, U S A , Maria, as always you are amazing at everything, so easy for you to create the most wonderful food, and love your singing, I enjoy everything that is you!😊

Gracias por este bello video. Y porque me gusta mucho ver a esta linda mujer ucraniana. Me enterneció esa canción que interpretó con su hermosa voz. Transmite mucha nostalgia y hasta un poco de tristeza. Admiro a esta preciosa dama porque es especial, todo lo sabe hacer, todo lo resuelve y no se entretiene en banalidades de maquillajes y otras cosas. Es una mujer admirablre. Saludos desde Veracruz, México.

Maria is the only video of the kind that I love watching. She has a wonderful personality that I enjoy. I'm glad I found her here.

Привіт із Одеси, Марічко. Моя бабуся теж пекла такі рулети з маком 😊 Але вона ще додавала до начинки подрібнені горіхи, пропарені родзинки та цедру лимона. Одесити - великі гурмани. 😆 Дякую, Марічко, за рецепт. Подивилася та згадала дитинство. Теж зпечу такий, при нагоді. Якийсь час спостерігаю за тобою. Ти гарна дівчина, працьовита. Гордість бере за таких україночок 😊

Наша гарна україночка, жіночка-золото, яка добра господиня! ❤ Дивлюсь і насолоджуюсь її майстерністю, як вона прекрасно готує наші страви ,порається по господарству, вишиває.... А домашні пироги з маком- це просто шедевр.Я вже подивилася дуже багато відео.Дуже , дуже цікаво! Бажаю Вам особистого щастя , здоров'я, вчіть нас готувати українські страви!❤

Such a traditional hard working beautiful lady,have a wonderful day and God bless.Greetings from Canada

Марія, дяка за пісню! Яка ж це смакота! Пироги з маком спокін віку пече вся Україна! Мій батько з Полтавщини, замовляв мамі ще й коржі (шулики)з маком. А як пахне все житло, коли печуть ці пироги! Здоров'я вам, оператору. Слава нашому українському НАРОДОВІ!

Beautiful cooking, beautiful way of life. You have a little bit of heaven, Maira. Keep it up! Our grandmother made similar breads, called "oreshniki". Not sure how to spell it. We're doing our best to keep up these traditions in modern-day America. God bless you all. Hope we can all live together in peace one day.❤🕊

Gracias por compartir la vida de María, una mujer muy trabajadora. En ese lugar tan tranquilo. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽

As always, beautifully prepared food. Thank you for sharing. You cow was calling you. Giggle. I can taste how delicious the Poppyseed Bread must be. Yum!!!!! Blessings sent, Rebecca, USA

Замість працювати дивлюсь пані Марію. Але вона того завжди варта! ❤❤❤ Такій гарний пляцок з маком, смакота! А ще свіженьке молоко від своїй корови 🤤 Рай на землі!

I absolutely love this lady, So wholesome and self efficient. Love where she lives so beautiful and peaceful, I want this life!!!

Always happy with Maria video's..because her teaching Me made cake verry quickly..😍

I love her traditional clothes too! This recipe looks delicious!

I love her videos. I stop doing whatever I’m doing when I see a new video. Her house is si beautiful and the stitching, working with wool, blows my mind. She is skillful, fast and very beautiful woman. The Carpathean mountain and wood it’s a dream. I would loved to moved there. So peaceful.❤

Hi Maria! Today I got to hear my favorite vocalist again. Thank you very much!

Maria é uma pessoa que faz a gente ter esperança na humanidade. Deus a abençoe e proteja.

Когда раз смотрю с щемящей тоской о своей деревенской жизни в детстве,хоть и на Кавказе ,та же утварь,то же подворье и та же речка журчит,как же все это было прекрасно,только тогда не понимала и не ценила …,Марие здоровья,мира Украине !!!

Дуже дякую за відео.Кожного вечора помолюсь,подякую Богові за прожитий день,потім швиденько заходжу в ютюб,щоб побачити ваше відео,якщо немає нового дивлюсь старі.Знаєте,коли дивлюсь їх мені здається що я там,бачу річку чую як вона шумить,гори-вони такі прекрасні,мене так тягне туди Тай живу я недалеко біля Івано-франківська а була в горах за свої 60 років всього 4 рази була.Здоров'я вам,хай береже вас Господь.Ольга.

In fact, it's one of my favourite recipes you've done and I think they all look so tasty, but this poppy seed bread so reminds me of my Austrian grandmother baking very similar to this... had to comment again... 😊❤

Gracias María, tus videos me recuerdan que concentrarse en el hacer y la mente en la labor son curativos. Tu jornada es admirable e inspiradora.

Wonderful filming, Would like to know how you and Maria found one another. Does the crew get to eat the amazing food she prepares? Her life is fascinating to me. she is fortunate to have her skills, her strength, her beauty as well .As far as poppy seeds wow my absolute favorite, and I recognized it right away as both the dessert and bread from our family legacy of baking

Природата ни е дала красота, мир ,любов, и зареждане с много хубави емоции. Браво МАРИЯ ..Искам и си пожелая, да следвам твоят живот, и да бъда сама със себе си....

Doamne, Maria! Esti un inger de om harnic care stie sa facă de toate. Crede-mă ca nu am cuvinte de lauda pt tine.

Thank you for showing us how you make your poppy seed bread Maria. Its a lot of hard work with all the kneading required. It really looks delish! Do you also call it sweet bread? I ask since so much sugar went into it. Again I say that you have many talents in addition to cooking and baking like singing your nice ballads then your embroidery work very exquisite and beautiful! On top of that you run a farm with everything associated with it. Where you live in the mountains is absolutely gorgeous!

Дорогие хозяева канала, читая англоязычные комменты, очень теплые и полные любви к Марийке и Украине, не первый раз уже вижу, как люди просят написать ингредиенты по-английски , а так же перевод песен, что Мария поет! Прислушайтесь, пожалуйста, сделайте для людей, подписчиков будет еще больше!!! С любовью к Марии😍😍😍

María es genial, una verdadera artista !!! Graciasssss 💙💛💗💫

Very talented woman. Love her weaving as well. According to a web site, she rents out the home for vacationer's but with the war, I'm assuming. her income must have been affected. What a shame what's going on in the Ukraine right now.

What a beautiful voice lady Maria has and a true talent for crafts, on top of cooking like a master chef❣

So peaceful, beautiful, and interesting. Blessings, Maria.

Ах Мария! Какая вы замечательная хозяюшка! А тесто какое получилось! Даже через экран видно что шикарное! Здоровья вам!

Pozdrawiam Cię Mario. Jednoczysz świat. Polska 🇵🇱

This lady is a genius, she can cook, bake, make desserts, sew, knit, do beautiful embroideries etc. Where else can she do? Marvelous woman.

I don't mean to hijack the thread but I'd like to remember Ukrainian staff sergeant Pavel Kuzin who was killed recently defending his men against the Russians in the battle for Bakhmut. He was leading a team of six men when they came under heavy tank fire and also relentless attack by Russian infantry. Everyone was either dead or wounded including Pavel but he manned his machine gun and kept firing to hold the Russians off so his remaining men could be rescued. He fired incessently as the shells rained down until eventually shell shrapnel hit him in the head and killed him. But the two surviving members of his team were saved. He literally gave his own life for his brothers in arms. He leaves behind a wife and child. Just one of the many Ukrainian heroes who are fighting so bravely to drive the orcs from their land. Slava Ukraini. Heroyam slava.

María, greetings from Mexico ❤️🇲🇽❤️🦋

Es una mujer todo terreno, me encanta tal vez deberíamos las de capital aprender de ella

Amazing woman, she has taught me to enjoy cooking, and the simple life. We need less not more. Thank you Maria.

Maria is both inspirational and at the same time educational. She is a super star and so talented. Thank you so much you are the greatest and we are the luckiest thank you for sharing your life with us here in Montana USA.

I have so many questions I would love to ask Maria. As I get to know her through her videos, I marvel at her aloneness and her ability to do EVERYTHING. If this is a normal Ukrainian woman…..Russia will lose this horrible war. Bless you Maria.

Maria sing really well and bordering look so soothing so nice to watch her living in a simple and peaceful beautiful life and she’s also good cook a lot of patience 😊

I would like to make a suggestion. That Mary could welcome one person at a time into her home to spend two or three days, so that we could enjoy this peace. And it also helps her to make a recipe or an embroidery. it would be sensational. obviously we would pay for this stay.

You're looking well Maria. I hope you get some time to relax and see other people. You work so hard. Love your videos 😍😍😍

Дякуємо Вам. Дуже гарна господиня і майстриня в приготуванні їжі.💛💙❤️🌈🙌

Maria, estou apaixonada pelos seus vídeos. Conhecendo um pouco da comida ucraniana. Espero que esteja bem apesar dessa guerra desnecessária ❤🎉👏🙌

What do you guys talk about while you wait for things to rise or bake? I’d love to see some of that footage.

Belíssimo Maria. Deus te abençoe sempre. Gratidão pelo vídeo. 👍👍🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏

Wow, I didn't know you could do that with poppy seeds. Once again Maria does not disappoint!

Estou adorando assistir os videos da MARIA mulher simples trabalhadora vive sozinha guerreira, além de fazer comidas que dá agua na boca de vontade de comer.

Love this series and how Maria does everything but I so would like to see how she does dishes as I am having to live without running water

Aj u nás mama piekla taký koláč - bol však trochu nižší. S Makom, orechami i lekvárom. A tak Mária už sa stala súčasťou mojej domácnosti i s jej videami... Prajem jej i celému Ukrajinskému ľudu veľa zdaru a lepšie časy.......

Muchas Gracias por estos hermosos videos Maria, que hasta ganas de llorar me da, bello e inigualable lugar❤ Saludos desde Paraguay🇵🇾
