Old Fashion Baking Powder Biscuits, Breakfast Bars, Enjoying Homemaking, Keeper of the Home 

I was very ill several years ago and couldn’t do anything hardly for about a year. Now,I’m thankful when I do housework, when I iron, when I garden and can. I tell the good Lord how much I am thankful for the strength and His mercy on me. He visits with me in my garden and quilting room. I agree that keeping house should be looked at as a privilege.

With every program you post, I find myself more and more in love with you and Danny ... and this whole wonderful and supportive community. Your words and the way you reach out to all of us is so soothing. You have created such a comfortable place for the hearts and minds of so many. I think you’re just wonderful.

I can see why a woman who works outside her home plus does all her own home making etc. would dread all the housework, ironing , laundry and etc. But I have always enjoyed being a home maker, it is all I ever wanted to be, that and a wife and mother. I worked the first year we were married but stayed at home for next few years with our 5 children! It has been a blessing to be a wife and mother!!

My great grandparents grand parents lived to be in their 90s eating lard, beans etc. I knew all but 2 great grandparents. My grandmother is still living at 103 yrs old and still has her mind ❤. They ate from the gardens, backyard chickens, wild turkey, deer, squirrel and beef cattle. I grew up the same and so thankful. Thank you for this recipe. Love making biscuits.

It absolutely is a privilege Ask anyone who doesn’t have a roof over their head. ❤🙏🏻

Mrs. Lori, your message today was touching and so true. I learned early in my life to enjoy the housekeeping. I, too, am a person who lives minimalist lifestyle. Your recipes have made a difference in people's lives. Society got so used to convenience foods that many young people have no idea how to deal with things like whole chickens, whole turkeys, full ham, along with preserving and canning food themselves. When COVID hit, many were in a panic because they had no idea how to cook a pot of beans or rice. I had so many asking me how to do this stuff because they were so used to eating all their meals out. Life is figuring things out. I am 61, retired school teacher, and still figuring things out. LOL

I find hanging laundry so relaxing and satisfying. One of life’s little pleasures! Great video, Miss Lori.

I love ALL your video's Ms Lori. This touched my heart seeing you hanging your clothes outside. It brought back memorie's of my Grandma hanging her clothes.

I feel better about many trials and tribulations when taking a break from it all while watching you and Mr. Brown. 😊

Loved hearing you talk about homemaking!

To me fresh sheets off the clothesline is like so sweet smelling and so comfortable.

Fresh outside laundry smell, there's nothing like it 😉💞

I am so grateful my daddy taught me how to make baking powder biscuits. He's gone now but I still make his biscuits and have that recipe in my memory. He made his with butter so that's how I make mine. And his biscuits are a little crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I love them no other way. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

I like how you said you love the house keeping part of your life as well as other aspects. I love being home cleaning, cooking canning and your right a lot of people don’t like that part. I also enjoyed having my kids home during the summer having more time with them, I actually miss that time of my life. Life is so short. 😊

IDK, but since Covid, my housekeeping desire went south. I think the isolation had a huge impact on my psyche. But watching videos like yours today has boosted me to a better level. Sincere thanks!

I visited my grandmother each summer. During that time others would come by, and she would always say, “never mind, we’ll do the dishes later”…..I hated that! One time I asked her why she liked doing dishes SO MUCH! She explained as she handled each bowl or plate, all mismatched from years of dinner sets and many children….”I can enjoy the time we all spent together once again by each plate we wash.” How one person ate from this one, and how they looked, their smile, their voice, how they used Great Grandmother’s last remaining spoon in the drawer from her set…the jelly jar glasses she saved from the jelly that she ate on her toast each morning for the younger kids. She gave me the joy of washing dishes from her stories….I still do dishes by hand, and rarely use the dishwasher. It was the same way with hanging out laundry. We would “visit” as we hung out laundry, paying close attention to where each piece of clothing commanded its rightful spot on the clothesline, all in perfect order~~ Thanks for reminding me Miss Lorie…..

I feel the reward in cooking and clean and gardening is when it’s done! Washing dishes is therapeutic for me. 💖🕊💫

I would love a smaller home. However, I married a "collector", soo there ya go! I clean 2 stories with 3 bathrooms. 15 stairs and arthritis. 5 acres. I am thinking maybe this is what keeps me alive. Bless you Browns!

Just love this video, just relaxing spending time with a friend, cooking and talking about everyday things. You are such a blessing and I am so blessed to have found this channel ❤

I love your little house, God bless you guys ❤

Loved the old fashioned baking powder biscuits. I love doing laundry. Miss my outdoor lines for hanging clothes. You, the most peaceful relaxing videos. At age 90 I still make my biscuits, cakes, pies and dinners. ❤ old time American morals and culture.

You bring such joy to me! Love all your recipes. Thank you for your soothing voice and posts. Much love And many blessings to you and Mr. Brown

Y’all’s videos are like therapy. So relaxing! They warm my soul. Thank you!

God bless and thank you both for all your kindness and blessed sharing!❤️

Good Morning Miss Lori, we have been avid viewers for quite a while now, and at our age (I'm 79) we can relate to many of your hints, stories and advice. I love the recipes of course, and hubby and I have God as head of our home.....but we both admit we MISS you and Mr. Brown dancing in the introduction....It always gave us a giggle and smile in our hearts to see you having some fun in the kitchen together. OK, on to today's biscuits, thank you for all your work on this channel, it is appreciated and loved.

How did you know? Have been struggling with the feelings I have about what is expected of me; I just don't have the joy I once had doing my household chores. Your words of wisdom really helped me in this area, and I'm sure God will help me, as he has been, change my heart and allow me to serve others as I serve Him...in deed and attitude. Oh, and I cant wait to try your breakfast bars...they look scrumptious ❣️❣️

I love all my bread & biscuits brown top & bottom! Blessings❣️

For 3 decades I've made a living on my own as a housekeeper. You are correct: Attitude is everything. How good it feels when you look back at a job well done! Yes, I work best alone with my focus without distractions, but it can also be a fun game to completely make a bed and allowing the cat to stay on it too 😉

I have the Nutrimill mixer, too, and I really enjoy using it. The breakfast bars are a great idea for those busy mornings for a grab-and-go breakfast. Blessings to you and Mr. Brown ❤

I love watching your videos. They are comforting to me. I suffer from anxiety. I would love to see you do more cleaning/chore videos.

Today I canned up some homemade ketchup from the tomatoes from my garden and I also tried something new. I made pear mincemeat for pies at the holidays. It smelled so good in the house.

Hello Lori! The best part of my day is sitting down and watching you. Just snapped a kettle of green beans while I was watching. Houseful of kids tomorrow. Gonna try those breakfast bars soon. I also hang out laundry most of the year. Hardly ever start my dryer. Xoxo

I love how open you are to bring us into your closet, lol. If you don’t wear it in a month you purge it. At least that’s what women say. I hate shopping for clothes so I wear what I have but I’m physically unable to shop anyway! My daughter buys me something every once in a while. She says “Your so cute mom, I’m 74 she’s 38. I tell her take care of your body! I was a nurse for 33 years and it’s physically and mentally challenging and you retire and your body goes to pot! Enough grousing!

I love that you are so real !! Just my kinda gal!! 😊

Hey Miss Lori,thank you for the soothing Biscuit making❤. I used to love ,love making Granola. I found that Oats put weight on me Fast😢. Hi too Mr Brown 😘🤗. JO JO IN VT 💞

I agree, I find joy in housekeeping. I feel blessed that I am able to do this work. One of my favorite quotes is from Saint Mother Theresa: “Do small things with great love”. That’s how I view housekeeping. I clean better too when I’m by myself.

Man if there can still be a Heaven on Earth it would be the way Your Family lives and Especially Your Cooking !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😁😁😁

Praise God you guys got some rain. I am still praying for a slow soaking rain you can walk in your yard and see the plants come back to life with God's blessed water. where I am in Texas today at 7pm still 106 with a heat index of 108.

Big hugs , Mrs lori & Mr. Brown So happy im watching while making stir fry . Big hugs Mrs josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas 🙏 ❤

Thank you Ms Lori; always appreciated!🥰

Lundberg home here, too. Love the stackers - we recently discovered them. So great for peanut butter, hummus, egg salad, anything. I like that they are thinner than typical rice cakes, but still strong enough for toppings. Thank you for showing us so much and for talking with us as if we were right there with you. Love you and Mr. Brown very much! And - your voice is amazing. God bless you both.

Oh, Miss Lori! I sure enjoyed hanging out with you on this video! I felt like I was just visiting you as you went about your day! Hugs from Georgia!

Love your talk on washing clothes and line drying. I line dry ours when , I can. Mater of fact, just put line dry sheets on the bed yesterday. Smelt so good. Been making baking powder biscuits for 46 years. Misters favorite. Can't keep his fingers out of the bowl. Yes, even rough. When the men , at church cooked Easter breakfast. He would make them. Thank you for taking the time to make your videos. Small houses are awesome. And house work, is the best therapy. 😊

I love washing sheets and towels and hanging them out on the line they smell so good and a towel is so much better at drying off yes I love it 🥰

I’m in West Texas and we truly need Rain ☔️ 🌧️ We are PRAYING FOR RAIN 🙏🛐☔️🌧️

just love this video... Every topic was so pleasing and relaxing... Bringing back great memories.. Thanks for sharing!!

Hi from Spring, Tx. Your video was so enjoyable: it relaxed me, helped me to release some stress. Thank you very kindly, Kathryn Sword

Thank you for allowing me to hang out with you 💕 I just love your love for God and that is what keeps me coming back. Stay blessed my friend 🙏 ❤

I enjoyed this video so much. Ms Lori, watching you is like spending time with a treasured friend. When you were talking about lard, I had to smile. Both my grandmas and my mom used lard like there was no tomorrow. You can't beat lard for frying chicken or making piecrust! And when mom got older, she switched to shortening and her pies were still delicious. Nearly 2 years ago, we sold our farmhouse and moved to a smaller place to be nearer to our family. It's a nice little brick home, but the closets are very small. We're like you and Mr Brown. We hold onto our clothes for a long time and use our old ones so our "good stuff" doesn't get stained and worn out so fast. My daughter encouraged me to try on all my clothes. If I didn't like how it felt or looked, it got donated. I've done this a few times and it has helped whittle down my clothes. The other thing I've done is take off-season stuff out of the closet and pack it in my suitcases that sit on my closet floor. I do think most of us have more than what we need. My favorite old clothes are probably 30 years old--soft, worn cotton, lol.

You have done it again Miss Laurie!! Those biscuits look so good and I could almost smell those granola bars!! GOD BLESS YOU AND MR.BROWN!!

Thank you for sharing Ms Lori and Mr Brown have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. Homemade biscuits I could eat everyday yummy hot from the oven butter and honey Mmmm. 😋😋😋🙏❤🙏❤🙏

Dear Miss Lori, I found this video absolutely delightful! I especially liked seeing you hanging clothes outside……..there’s nothing quite like clothes fresh off the line! I found myself smiling while you were talking about “purging” your closet. I know I have too many clothes, so I’ve been trying to pick and choose which items to donate to the Salvation Army. A lot have gone, but there are more to go. I love the way you can fold your clothes and hang them right there in your laundry area. So convenient! Like so many of your subscribers, I wish I could visit in person and just soak up your kindness and sweetness! God bless you! Love, Jackie🪷

I enjoy doing laundry!! 😊 I love cooking and baking and a clean house. I put in earbuds and listen to an audiobook or podcast or music and praise my Jesus while cleaning. After all He blessed us with the material things that we have and I want to take care of them.

Fun video!!! Can’t wait for you to share you new project!!!

Your biscuits and sausage gravy recipe is my husband’s and son’s favorite. Sooooo good.

Lori l love the new intro plz don't ever change it. God bless y'all!

Love those biscuits and the smell of line dried sheets.

Such good advice, Miss Lori. Watching you, listening to you, your sweet attitude. I don't have any close family so I feel you are helping just me. Many others too. Thank you, dear Lady! 😊

I loved this video just doing several different things 😊. Some cooking, some laundry, some dishes, getting some fresh peas ready to do something with. Just good, every day life kinda stuff. I have always loved housework. I don't know how or why but when I was just a little girl and would spend a week in the Summer with my Grandparents, my Grandma taught me how to do it all and I fell in love with it. As soon as I was old enough, I was keeping housework done for my Mama who was a nurse at our local hospital. I didn't ever learn how to cook all that well but I sure wish I had. I loved everything about making a comfortable, clean home for my husband. He appreciated it so much, which made it more satisfying. We didn't have children. Now that he's gone on to Heaven, the chores aren't quite as meaningful but I still find great pleasure in housework and I now do a lot of the yard work as well now that he's gone and I am now retired. Very thankful for satisfying work to do and that my health permits me to do it most of the time. You're such a joy to me and an inspiration and have taught me a lot about cooking too. Just wish I'd have known how to make some of the things I can now cook while my husband could have enjoyed that too. 😊❤

I love house cleaning when I have the time,especially dusting and rearranging things, looks and smells so nice 😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I used to put my wash on the line and then when it was dry, put it in the dryer for 10 minutes to fluff it. Towels, jeans, etc. I like doing housework, also. I like to cook and bake, do mending, grow a garden, and house plants, even yard work. I haven't had a dishwasher in many years and it's fine. I like the old ways, a simple life. The dessert you made with Greek yogurt, JELLO and Cool Whip, I've made 3 batches so far. It's better than ice cream. Try black cherry JELLO with the strawberry yogurt. It's what I had in the cupboard and I loved it. It rained a little here and cooled us off. Nice. God bless.

Thank you Ms Lori, I enjoyed watching & listening. Blessings Always🙏🏾

All looks yummy!! Especially those . morning bars!! God Bless you & Mr. Brown ❤️

Love this video! Thank you for taking the time to make it! The struggle is real with clothes!! 🙄 I guess though, it’s a good struggle! We have so much… so blessed. When I get frustrated with laundry, I just thank God for running water and electricity. I have a washing machine and a dryer …it could be a whole lot more labor intensive I do like hanging clothes outside too! Makes the house smell good too when you bring in the laundry.

Loved the idea of baking the biscuits in the butter! Watch you a lot and enjoy a real person. Gail in the woods by War Eagle!

Hello again...😊 I am doing my grocery shopping tomorrow and have added all the goodness in the granola bars. I am not big on breakfast but this has changed my mind. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing this video! And may God continue to bless you and your family 👪!

Love the new pictures ❤️❤️

You sound like me! We have a small home and wzy too much. We have been blessed way beyond measure. I love watching you because you are down to earth and lilevmost of us!! God bless you!!❤

I definitely want to try the breakfast bar. That looks so good.

Enjoyed visiting with you today!❤

Love watching you cook.

Oh I loved this so much. I love keeping my house, even before I retired. My dad used to pay me to iron his dress shirts, I got 10 cents a shirt👏🏼👏🏼! I still love to iron my husband’s shirts today❤ Thank you for all your inspiration.

❤🇺🇸❤ VERY. NICE. INTRODUCTION. TO YOUR. VIDEO. I ALWAYS. ENJOY. SPENDING. TIME. THERE AT THE. HOMESTEAD WITH Y' ALL ❤🇺🇸🥰.🇺🇸❤ SCOTT'S WIFE VICKIE

Have you ever tried putting leftover dough in the fridge and in a day or so using it to make fried pies. Works great.

I really enjoyed spending this time with you today. I hope you and Mr. Brown are doing good. Much love to you both.❤

Have made biscuits for as long as can remember my dad taught me how !when so little had to stand on a orange crate 😂 never had a recipe and can not give one ! I love watching you make things! Cooking an backing is my therapy 😂

Thank you for the recipe. Mom used to make these this way.

Miss Lori, I miss so much when you didn't do the talk over videos. Just seeing you and pop Brown in real time. I have honestly almost forgotten to watch because of this. Love you both

Totally delightful. Thank you so much. Tomorrow I will try your breakfast bar recipe, as well as share your video with a friend. Blessings. ❤

Your videos was such a blessing to me today. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe and have a blessed day my friend. 👍

I used to feel a lot more like I was “the keeper of the home” when I had kids home!

Your videos are awesome and I try to catch them all-Great Chats and recipes 💯❤️💯

love the recipes, love the new opening, love you'se

Thank you love your videos, thanks for the biscuit recipe 😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️

I’m going to try those delicious breakfast bars! Yummy

Growing up we didn't have a dryer, so everyday when I got home from school my job was to hang the clean clothes for my step mom ,dad and 5 step siblings plus mine, it was just part of the daily chores. Now I wish I had a clothes line.

Thank you for the pep talk today while I trudge through my chores 😂 you just made me feel better! It’s all in how you look at it! And boy do I feel ya in the small closet department we have very little room here too!

I love your home, it’s so cozy.

I loved the intro SO much!!!! I'm going to try all the recipes, they look so yummy and thank you so much for sharing with us ❤ Glad you got some rain! Have a blessed day!

I’d love to have a clothesline. We had one growing up and I hated it! We hung clothes out in the winter and the jeans would freeze and stand up by themselves🤣 but now I’m grown and would love to have one again. I can’t wait to make those granola bars😋 Homemade biscuits are the BEST!

I sure love you and Mr Brown🙏🏻🙏🏻💕🌷

Some years ago I talked to the Lundberg people and they said that they have, or had, many many fields that are growing rice and were not certified as organic because of the expenses and hoops to jump through of becoming certified. All of the rice they grow is grown the same, with organic practices. By now, they may have been able to certify all their rice but even so, if it is Lundberg, trust that it is organic. Good stuff, Maynard.

I just love your videos. We live in a small house too. No dishwasher. I have thought about it but there is no place for it. I like all the same kinds of cabinets that you do too😊

LOVED. LUCY. HUGS.

I've always used an old Betty Crocker recipe for Biscuits. I replace half the butter with crisco. You can mess with the dry ingredients as much as you like, just when you add the butter, crisco, or lard...keep it cold. Once you add the liquid, that's when I go light on the mixing. Just until it comes together. Then turn it out and do very little kneading...but with the folding. I bake mine. ;) Thank you!

You are such a gem, thanks for your recipes. Looks tasty and looking forward to trying some of them ❤

Love True home cooking.

Beautiful intro! Keep doing this!

Ms Lori, when your viewers click more once and it takes them to the next page, they need to click more again and it will take them to the recipe.❤
