interesting watching you this week god bless you all x
Hey God bless you. Where do you get your head coverings from? They are pretty
Thank you so much for sharing the extracts you made buy vodka this weekend
If I use the peppermint extract in homemade candy that is not baked, will the vodka be to strong for kids to eat the candy. (Since it won't evaporate during cooking or baking)
in my mind i was thinking i love eating freeze dried fruits , the bananas would be so tasty 😋
Hi Jessica, I will start by saying how much I enjoy your videos! I love that you grow and preserve your food. I try to do the same here in Western Montana. I was wondering if you could tell me the brand of canning jars that you have in a few of your videos. They look as though the lower part of the jar has six sides. I would love to find jars like these. Thank you and bless you and yours!
“Move the vodka away from the baby” 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing. I have a pineapple mint that is so good. I wonder how that would taste.
Thank you so much for the seed saving lesson! I didn't know to ferment the tomato/cucumber seeds. I would have been so disappointed next season!
A peaceful walk through your week, which I gratefully and completely enjoy. You are a true testament to God's love in motherhood. God bless each one of you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
French toast looks great
Ha Jessica thanks for the video and all the good thinks ,you let my se,God Bless you and you family Greetings from the Nederlands.
You continue to inspire me. Because of you, I started 2 bottles of vanilla extract in March. I'm going to try peppermint next. So I can use oil if I dry the leaves or use the vodka if I don't? Pickle juice powder!! Great idea. I so want a freeze dryer. God bless you & yours.
Simply beautiful
Thank you for sharing you blessing with us. I could only have two children but God blessed me with three other grown children. I know God comes first in your family and I pray he will give you a healthy baby soon, Again thank you for sharing your family
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥰🤗
I'm not sure if this would be something of interest to you, but I am starting a video collaboration for canning complete meals in jars. If you would like to join me, just use #mealsinjars. It would be awesome to have your input!
Looking for a reputable place to order bulk organic fruit from. Can you point me in a good direction?
Do you ever step back and just go to a restaurant
You might want to reconsider using peach pits or other kinds of fruit seeds to make an extract. They contain cyanide properties that will extract out if you put them into the alcohol. Be safe and keep your kids safe.
Pickle juice also makes a great brine before grilling or cooking chicken breasts, tenders, etc. I do it often when I finish a pickle jar and don't want to waste the juice. Makes the meat super tender and juicy! Just don't add too much extra salt when seasoning the meat.
We planted peppermint this year, I’ll be making extract. Thanks!
I really enjoy your videos. I look forward to them every week!
Can I just say you are just so pretty pregnant stunning love your videos
Do you grow and use comfrey? If not, you should consider adding it.
There are many uses of it including making healing salve.
I have a drink of dill pickle juice occasionally, love the taste.
Ive learned so much from you, Jessica. Thank you for sharing this with us and allowing us a glimpse of your life. My favorite part about your channel is how you rarely waste anything.
Anxious to watch the soap making. I've really wanted to learn how to do make them and candles.
What is the difference between freeze drying and dehydration?
Just wondering what you did with the cucumber and tomato "meat" after you took the seeds out? Do you keep it or feed it to your animals?
I think that pickle juice powder is going to be a huge hit
My kids like when I freeze the pickle juice in ice pop containers. It's a refreshing treat on a hot day.
Jessica, I see that you have a lazy bred recipe in one of your videos… Have you ever done a video to show how you make it? I really want to be able to make bread for my family, but most of the time it comes out really dense. I see in this video how comfortable you are with the process, and I would really like to learn what you do 🙂 Thanks. Tara
Almond extract from peach pits?! WHAT!!? My mind is officially blown. 🤯If I like the taste, that would be the most revolutionary thing I've ever done! I have a relatively new tree nut allergy (over the last 6 years or so), but I used to love almonds and cashews. One of my favorite applications is in my oatmeal. I put in peach chunks, dried cranberries, brown sugar and almond extract. At the end I used to sprinkle sliced almonds on top…and chocolate chips (whispers chocolate chips). I know…I know…don't judge me, all of you out there. I already feel your judgment 🤦🏽♀️😄. I am going to look up the specifics of how to do that. Thank you SO much for that amazing tip!
Looking forward to the soap making video. God bless you and thank you for sharing pieces from your life.
I didn't know you could make all those extracts!!! I made my first batch of vanilla a few months ago. I'll have to try some of those. Very cool!!!
Hi Jessica! First and foremost, love your channel and content. You have such a beautiful family. I wanted to ask, could you possibly do a video or have a Q&A (apologies if you already have one) going over how you homestead in your state and what issues you may have run into during getting settled?
31 weeks pregnant and also craving hot cocoa! So funny 🤣!
Hello Jessica! Today I tried out your French Toast Casserole, from this video and it was fantastic. Thank you for giving me the idea!
As for the cumin and cinnamon mix-up: sometimes there are mix-ups. In this case though, I was save, because the german words are different: Cinnamon is Zimt and cumin is Kuemmel. But is always easy to mix up other things…
Your videos are always very nice and interesting. My life as a single woman in a german city is obviously very different, so this is a glimpse into a fascinating world.
Thank you for showing us part of it.
All the best for you and your family , but especially for you and the new baby to be born! May you both remain happy and healthy!
Love the pickle juice powder idea! Sounds delicious. I love how you keep things fun, along with all the hard work, with fun kitchen experiments. Why not!?
Also thnx for the inspiration to get out there and get some veg & flower seeds saved. I tend to let that go at the end of the summer, but you’re right…we shouldn’t assume we’ll always be able to get seeds commercially.
Such a lovely video! I am a herbalist and always press my plant matter after draining the alcohol. It gives your extracts a little more oomph.
