What a sweet life. / Creamy Lemon Herb Chicken Dinner / Mobile Home Living 

I can't tell you how much I look forward to your videos. You are a calm place to go to in the midst of our chaotic world. THANK you for sharing your life with us! Suggestions: Marjoram and chives. Sage is good, but it needs its own pot.

It’s not “trailer” it’s your lovely lovely home. It’s a Home! Your home! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Valerie I just want to give you the heads up about the plant you have on your island it is called a Dieffenbachia Seguine or Dumb Cane the info about it is --Poisonous characteristics The leaves of the Dumbcane plant contain needle-like calcium oxalate crystals and proteolytic enzymes. Eating the leaves can cause TEMPORARY PARALYSIS OF THE MOUTH, TONGUE, THROAT AND VOCAL CORDS. If accidentally rubbed into the eyes the crystals from the leaf can cause TEMPORARY VISION LOSS and SWELLING OF THE EYELID. When observing this plant If possible, avoid contact with its leaves. Do not eat its leaves. If you inadvertently touch the leaves of this plant, wash your hands thoroughly before touching your mouth, eyes or the area surrounding them. Dieffenbachia is generally known as Dumb Cane, Exotica or Tropic Snow and it's poisonous to both dogs and cats. This plant's harmful toxins can result in burning/swelling of the mouth and tongue as well as difficulty in swallowing, vomiting, and increased salivation Please be careful with it Valerie

That Tim is a hoot! You two bring such a good vibe to your videos. I look forward to each episode! Ya'll remind me of my hubby and I. We, too, have a great relationship and he helps me so much around our home here in Alabama. We recently retired and are enjoying spending our days together. We will be married 51 years next month. We married at 17 and so many people said it wouldn't last, but when you know, you know!! We knew we wanted to be together for the rest of our lives!! We're working on it !! 😂😂 Take care sweet Valerie. God bless you and yours. ❤❤

Two videos this week!!!thank you so much ❤you have no ideia how relaxing and peaceful it is to watch!

Your dinner looks delicious! Your herb garden is beautiful! I know you must be so proud of all you guys have accomplished this past year. Milo is a beautiful cat, and Max is just so loving as is little Willow. I love the way she wallows on the floor for some loving.see you guys in the next one. Take care and God bless you all.

That’s one of the best things about having your own channel. You have friends all over the world. I’m really awesome.

I was trying to reach through the screen and rub Willow’s tummy. 😂She’s so precious 🥰

I love the variety of videos you do. I know you and Tim have your hands full with taking care of granny and three boys. Best wishes always.

As much as you cook when you start renovating your kitchen a double oven would be a nice addition 😁👍

Oh my goodness, I love getting 2 videos awake.You make me so happy.I just enjoy watching you and Tim.And I love willowberry's little bow.How precious❤❤❤❤❤

Your channel, Valerie and Tim, is one of my favorite RU-vid channels! Beautiful couple, relaxing atmosphere. ❤️

Valerie, you need to put the mint in a pot by itself. It will take over your whole little garden bed.

Just a suggestion, but when you cut the ends off of lemons, oranges and other citrus fruit, you may want to freeze them and keep them for your potpourri pots.

I love watching your videos, Val. They are so relaxing.You and Tim together are a great team. Also, you should try planting basil in your new raised garden.

Willows bow. 🎀 🐶 precious. Sunny wouldn’t wear one if her life depended on it. Hard headed little girl. 😂

Hello beautiful family, a tip: do not use the knife blade to dispose scraps in the trash or to transfer them to containers, use the top part of the knife to avoid damaging the blade. Greetings from Portugak, I love you all.

I would put basil into its own pot because the amount of water it needs may kill the other herbs. Some herbs are not meant to be planted together, it is best to find out which ones can be planted together. Rosemarry is an invasive plant and will take over the whole bed, I would plant it by itself in a large pot. You can buy a marble cutting board or quartz, that's not to thick or heavy, maybe from a remnant store.

What an honor to serve your family. I wash my veggies with a rough scrub daddy, the skins are so healthy.

Your voice is so beautiful. It literally calms me so much and it’s like listening to an angel . ❤

Hi Valerie and Tim. I’m so glad to see you both and of course Willow. I’m envious of you both but so glad to see y’all’s dream come to day by day, week by week. Love you raised herb garden. I too believe it’s going to be a HOT SUMMER unfortunately. Well I’m going to sit back and enjoy the rest of your video. I’m looking forward to watching you cook. Bless you and your beautiful family. Hugs Betty 🥰🥰🙏💕🌞🌞🌞☀️☀️❤️💗

WOW Valerie your garden boxes near ya'll new shed is really thriving alot...it looks AWESOME..GOOD JOB!!! also you will love having that lil herb garden on your porch near your kitchen...one of the herbs you didn't plant is something that I planted years ago and I am still harvesting off of them....that is green onions ( some people may call them onion tops or scallions) here in south Louisiana we call then green onions ☺ ....what I did to get myself started with the onion tops is this...I bought between 3-5 bunches at the grocery store and/or my local produce stands....I cut each bundle right above the root stems maybe 1-1/2 to 2 inches above the roots... then stuck them in the dirt leaving a tiny part of the top stem showing above the dirt...trust me they will grow for you...I have never purchased green onions again from a store!! oh and by the way....I chop up the long stem green onions and put them in a zip lock bag in my freezer....I have them all chopped and ready to add to my food ( I also do that with my celery and bell peppers...I chop and freeze them too .... ALSO another herb is oregano...that is a good herb for spaghetti sauces...any Italian dishes actually!! Good gardening ....Happy Days!! 🙂👍

Tim makes everything look so easy

You sure make some delicious looking meals, and enjoy cooking for your family.

Herbs: Chives...Oregano...Basil...Dill...Sage or Lavender would be good in your little garden.

I would plant some chives and tarragon. I would yank that mint out and put it in it's own pot, it almost seems like it can jump!

Love your herb garden,love your place. You and Tim are certainly turning it into a beautiful place. I'm sure living in it and doing construction work at the same time can be challenging sometimes but you and Tim make it look easy. I've been here since the beginning when you started youtube. You all were still in townhouse. It is such a joy to see all your dreams that you shared with us during those times and all in between come to life. You and Tim are such a joy in my life. I know if I lived close to you I would want to have you as my neighbor and friend. Since I live so far away in South Arkansas I'm thankful to be your friend on RU-vid. Blessings dear one.

Thank you all for inspiring us and teaching us things and for helping us to smile again!

I love this vídeo Tim and Valerie, thank you for sharing your life. Have a wonderful weekend 🥰💕🤗

I am so glad you and family have met new friends to share a barbecue cookout on Memorial Day! My hubby served in the U.S. Army and was wounded in Vietnam. I live in Tennessee. You sound so excited about your herb garden and l know it will be a blessing to have herbs anytime right outside your own back door. I live in a small apt., and l have a variety of houseplants. Valerie, you can grow anything and half of my plants have died. I wouldn't have room for them all if they had all survived. Today was a rough day emotionally. A close family member really hurt me and l have cried all day, it almost made me physically sick. You are very blessed with your beautiful family and homestead. God has been so faithful and graced me with a lot of blessings but sometimes there are a lot of tears too. Well, l plan to take a day all to myself and treat myself to a special shopping spree and Cracker Barrel lunch. Of course, sharing it with a loved one is better but sometimes l have to work hard on forgiveness, "get my bearings" as my beloved Mom would often say, and just have some alone time. Sorry for unloading, just venting to anyone who will listen. Your video lifted my spirits so thank you! Your meals always look delicious, l know your family is so appreciative. God Bless! !

I can't thank you enough for being there at my lowest at the moment love you guys x

Love watching! Have you and Tim thought about having chickens and you could put their coop next to garden and feed them there. Low cost and great addition to your home .

The mint will also send roots thru the drain holes if your pot has them! It can be very invasive. Loved the video Valerie and Tim! From Becky in Kentucky ❤

Willow so precious w her bow on her head

I just wanna say,.. I know everyone and their momma seasons the veggies directly on the sheet pan these days, but I feel like it’s actually way easier to keep them in the strainer, at the sink, add the oil and seasoning and give a good toss with one hand, and its super easy to rinse your hand after.. idk, that’s just how I do it.

Valerie and Tim, just love watching you two together building a project and planting some herbs closer to the house. Your garden is taking off!! Love the fur babies too. I'm from Rocklin, Ca. Just North of Sacramento. God bless you and your family

So organized. I’m jealous!!😌

Basil. Chocolate mint, Sage, Spicy basil. dill, chamomile, Rue, peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm and in the big garden lemon grass for chicken,,,when you plant that on you have to seperate the pieces before you plant it and it must stay moist

Valerie, wow! Your garden is going great guns. Dinner looked so delicious.Your family are blessed to have you caring for them as you are that they care for you. Start of winter here in Australia so time for all the comfort food, I’m going to try your herb chicken this week.❤❤❤

Your garden box off the kitchen for your herbs is nice. I grow different flavored mints. One of the vlogs i watch also grows mint. She has apple 🍎 and chocolate 🍫 mint. She dries the leaves 🍃 and saves them to make tea with. She uses the apple 🍎 mint tea for tummy aches. Just a thought. It looks like you have some room on your side porch for some pots. My chocolate 🍫 mint cascades over the side of the container. It's really pretty. It smells wonderful when I water it too. I have plans to look for recipes. Hopefully, I can find a chocolate 🍫 mint ice cream 🍦 recipe to make. We'll see 👀.

Love the new herb bed....so convenient❤ as always the food looks amazing.

I’m not sure if y’all have a feed store near you but a lot of times the feed store sells seeds by the scoop and they’ve already been acclimated to your area where you live so they grow perfectly well green beans, Poll beans onion seeds

Beautiful supper and nice to have herbs on back porch sweet willow milo max

Hi, I'm not a big Gardner, but i heard that mint will overtake your herb garden I love your channel and all your renovations 😊

Your garden raised beds are looking amazing and beautiful! I'm so glad your dreams are coming true about having your own homestead. I never roasted carrots that way, I'll have to try. They look yummy! I really like those peach capris you had on, very pretty! Have a lovely weekend. 😊🌅💖

I think that is a great idea...might keep the animals out of your garden! Does your hubby have any ideas on how to clean a gas grill?!!

Love your herb garden. Thinking of getting me one. The dinner looked so delicious! When you cut those pieces off your chicken you can save them and sauté them for you doggies. The fat is very good for their coat. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Your animals are adorable, Milo ❤

Great to see another video Valerie, I love your homestead and ye are making a fantastic job of everything there. It’s lovely weather here too at the moment in Southern Ireland. I’m definitely going to try the lemon chicken recipe, it looks amazing. I’m getting excited here as I am going to San Francisco in a few weeks time to surprise my brother and family for his 60th birthday! You have a nice weekend in the Virginia Mountains. It looks so beautiful where you are.❤️😎☀️⛰️xxx

I live vicariously through watching your videos ❤ y’all are so blessed to have that beautiful Mountain View and living the dream with your family. God is good! I don’t think it counts as an herb but Milo might disagree 😹 how about planting cat nip? Take care sweetie!

If y'all have a Texas Roadhouse in your area they have an herb crusted chicken with a side of grilled lemon to squeeze on top it's so good I think your son would love it if he hasn't already tried it I also can't wait to see a kitchen make over I think with all the cooking you do an baking for your family that a double oven built in to your wall would be amazing it would give you alot more container space to work on for preparing dinners for your family

Little Willow is a cutie!❤

Love the herb garden and the meal today. Why don’t you pan fry the pieces of chicken you cut off and serve to your dogs? We do this as treats for our dogs and it’s loved. They go nuts when they smell chicken cooking. Thanks for sharing! 😊

Oregano is another herb you could plant and coriander have a lovely week

Dinner looks good chicken and carrots a must try..love the herb planter on the back porch

I could watch you cook all day! That meal looked delicious 😊

it great having freash herbs , maybe you could get a herb dryer thingy :) ,and can then put in jars so chopped and dry when you need them more so in winter time , ,so nice to wtch your bideos with you and tim ,

Hi Valerie I’ve been growing herbs for 50+ years I know that you will enjoy them fresh & then harvested for use in the cold months TARRAGON is a great herb for chicken & for fish Remember, that when using fresh herbs you can use quite a bit more than dried herbs (as the oils become concentrated as herbs dry) Also, you might want to add your fresh herbs later in the cooking process as they are more delicate than when dry ENJOY AS YOU EXPERIMENT LEARN & TEACH 🎉🎉🎉 Wishing you sweet & savory treats always

Dill is a great herb, really nice with fish dishes and great in dressings.

Herb garden is a great idea! Your porch is so convenient for you. Chicken dish looks great! Never thought to put honey with butter on the rolls!

I miss my old rubbery cutting board.It was yellow and in the shape of a lemon.I ordered two new square ones in lime color.One is small and one is regular size that slides too.I put a round rubber thingy under them,It opens stuck jar lids.I like to marinate my meats and chicken in good old Italian salad dressing in zip locks for a day or two.I used to overcook my chicken.Now I bake them at 350 for 40 mins or less.

Great video as always, how about some dill in your garden , it’s wonderful on chicken. A little butter in a frying pan with diced chicken, some crushed garlic or garlic powder, Sprinkle it with chopped dill. Easy quick meal and it’s delicious

Valerie, that food looks scrumptious 😊

Uve come a long way Valerie . Very proud of u.

Wow! Valerie you and Tim are always doing stuff on your homestead ❤️I wish someday I could plant me a garden , but down here in the extreme hot Rio Grande Valley my plants die too soon 🙁

Hello Valerie and Tim!! Loved the video!! Sweet Willow was so precious with her pretty bow!!! And i love your herb garden!!! Fresh herbs are the best!!! The meal looked delicious!!! Valerie your shirt is so pretty that coral color looks beautiful on you!!! Until yalls next one take care and God bless!!!😊❤

Oh one more tarragon so good in soups and stews and even on potatoes roasted in the oven with carrots

Don;t for get to give the pups the scraps from the carrots they will love it

How cute is Willow's bow's? Hello Valerie, family, and fur babies. Thanks for all the things and recipes. Enjoy your week. STTB

How about some chives? Lavender is a good one for tea or simmering pots. Love the herb container Dinner looks delicious! Oh, I almost forgot. How's the watering system working that Tim rigged up? It looks like your leg/knee is bothering you quite a bit, so I hope you are not overdoing it. It looked like a wonderful day. Now if the good fairy would come and do the dishes it would be perfect!

Hello from North GA around Athens! I came across your channel by chance, and I LOVE IT! It is peaceful and loving and so inspiring to live a happy life with family!! This is my new can’t miss favorite. Nice to meet you!!

Hi, Valerie and Tim I glad to get see another one of y'all new video. Little willow berry is so sweet and cute with that little bow in her hair. Y'all is looking really nice.

oregano is another good one to plant. Holy basil ( Tulsi) & lemon balm or two medicinal herbs that go great in tea together.

Yes Memphis TN

The mint is really invasive. Once the roots get in the ground there's no way of getting it under control. I put a plant in our flower bed now it everywhere. We pull it all up we thought then came spring and it's growing everywhere.

Don't forget to save the garlic skins and other kitchen scraps for your compost. You had a nice mix of nitrogen and carbon to put in with your compost. Egg 🥚 shells are nice too. Uh oh! Carrot 🥕 ends didn't make it to the compost. I had a pig 🐖 for close to twenty years so I made sure that she could not get to my compost bins since I put coffee ☕️ grounds and filters in mine. Coffee ☕️ grounds can be fatal to pigs 🐖. Compost is amazing. It's a natural fertilizer for the garden.

Texas here love watching y’all.

So if you get successful with some fruits or vegetables that you grow, you can save seeds on some of the items maybe at the end of the season let the cucumber turn, yellow, yellow yellow, and you can save the seats and then when you replant next year those seeds will have adapted to your area

You're smart to plant your own herbs. They're so expensive to buy in the store. They're also easy to dry.

How about some garlic and some chives or winter onions? Chives will take over too and you get a lot for a little spot. Maybe put them in a small square pot and another square pot of sage. They could share one of your rectangular spots easily. Two in a spot. Or lemon thyme or something really fragrant like spearmint would be great for iced tea and smells great out on your deck too. Once again it’s a mint so in its own pot. As in all herbs, the more you cut off the more they grow. Our neighbor has chives. His grew into his yard. Now when he mows it smells like oniony chives two blocks away lol. Also here’s a tip: when you cut up onions, put a wet paper towel beside them as you cut. You won’t have tears. Plus if your hands are oniony, wash them well then rub them all over your stainless faucet. It takes the onion smell right off them! My grandma taught me that. It works! Plus if you roll your lemons while pressing hard on them with your hand or microwave one for 15-20 secs you’ll get twice as much juice from them. Love your little herb kitchen garden.

I'm a new subscriber. I live in Miami, Florida, and I love your channel. You guys remind me of my hubby and I ..putting things together while playing with the doggies. #blessings 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

It’s away pleasure to watch your videos. Maybe you can try basil, oregano, chives, enjoy watching you guys do things around your home

Your videos are such a joy to watch ❤ thank you for sharing 🙏🌷 x

Please save all your scraps for compost. Don’t throw them away. They make great compost. You can actually dig a hole in those race beds and throw them scraps in there and the worms will just love it.

Love the herb garden....hugs

Your meal looks absolutely delicious. You are a great cook. Also you gave a green thumb all your plants are thriving

Hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 we been watching for like a year and we enjoy watching everything y’all done keep up the great job and gif bless u guys always from ur buddy Raymond and family ❤️🙏🏼🇵🇷

hi willow berry loves your new Veg Garden by your door. i love to watch your logs Iam her Queensland Australia have great day xxxx

I'd plant green onion or chives and some dill down by the garden.

Your dinner looks absolutely scrumptious! Tim! We got to hear your voice! Glad you’re beginning to be comfortable on camera! 😊

I love your herb garden. I planted herbs too. I have basil, rosemary, oregano, chives, parsley . It's so nice having fresh herbs to cook with. I made macaroni salad the other day and put some chives in it too. I came out great.

Saying "hey ya'll!" From Arkansas. Me and my daughter spend most of this sunny Saturday power washing half the stuff in our yard today. We are worn out. Just relaxing and enjoying watching you guys work now lol! I can so relate to you guys. We have a little 20 acre farm and we stay busy all summer. Love you videos!

Hi Valerie, that’s a nice raised bed for planting your herbs. Dinner looks delicious and little Willow is so precious! ❤

summer savory,

When I buy scallion from the grocery store I cut the ends off & plant them so I have some in my garden same with the celery ends just a thought. You could also plant some garlic in your herb garden

You could plant clover. It has both medicinal/to cook with. You could plant mint! It helps keep mosquitoes away too! I'm sure there are tons more ideas! Have fun! It's fun watching what you plant grow.

It all dement if you like to use it but spring onion and chives are also nice to just cut fresh from the garden

Valerie love your herb garden that willow is so darn cute love your chicken recipe your home is coming together can’t wait till the kitchen is done you deserve a beautiful kitchen with big island and a dishwasher love your vlogs ❤❤❤❤❤

Wow! Your garden patch looks amazing! Every time I see it the plants have doubled in growth. Great first year for you and Tim! See you next video! Patty B in the land of swaying palm trees of Sarasota Florida! 🌴☀️🍊🏖️
