    Your kitchen looks great! I love the color! You don't have to apologize for the appearance of your meals or for them not being gourmet or elaborate. I hope you didn't receive cruel comments from people to prompt this. You are an amazing mom and work hard to provide wholesome healthy delicious homemade meals for your family. Besides which, they look delicious! Comfort food is the best. You did amazing for a healthy week much less when not feeling well and taking care of a sick family! You are a dynamo Jessica.

I love the way your family all works together, the way y’all love each other and love The Lord. I may cook differently but have learned techniques, some great hacks from you, as well as time management. Your family is a a wonderful example of family life, some days roll like planned and other days don’t. Thanks for sharing your family with us, - -- as a Marylander Old Bay is a must. My kids especially love it on French fries and also popcorn. Also, great job putting this all together when your not feeling well, prayers that y’all are feeling much better.

    @@joyceduesel7966 I’m Italian so we do eat lots of pasta. From my time spent in Morocco. I make a lot of tagines . I don’t like lamb but my kids eat a ton of it and love when I make it. Bastilla is my fav - chicken, ground almonds, cinnamon, and a few other spices, in layers of phyllo. Spices are key and anything can taste good when it’s full of flavor. We also eat a lot of seafood, especially because we live in Maryland. Moroccan culture is very rich and because of its proximity to Spain you will find a lot of Spanish influence, especially in the north. France occupied for some time so you will find that influence as well, especially in the pastries. Morocco was part of Spice Road and the markets have every spice you could want. I was just there and always come back with a suitcase of spices.

I think you're doing amazingly well. Your level of knowledge on substitutions alone is jaw-dropping. I'm glad you're all feeling better. I was knocked down for most of December and you're absolutely right - there just wasn't energy for cooking. I ate leftovers while they lasted, then was left eating toast & oatmeal and drinking blackberry shrub...and it showed, as my recovery stalled. I finally called my sister and she started bringing prepared foods for me, and I enjoyed an almost immediate turn-around, although it still took over a week to feel 'human'. God bless each of you!!

Does it really matter if your way of making something doesn't agree with the recipe my mother made? As long as your family enjoys what you make, and it is healthy and filling, you are getting the job done with creativity and thoughtfulness. I totally support you. Thanks for sharing.

    Making your own Sprouts was big in the 80's/90's. I made my own, UNTIL the Propaganda Machine started broadcasting that, "it was too Dangerous! You'll get food poisoning and kill someone!" No Joke! After that I started learning how to evaluate things logically for myself, considering Gods blessings to us, with that it led me to Abandoning Margarine during that same time. Since then I use my own judgement. I've always cooked the majority of our meals at home and continue to do so. I've done better than expected during the #ThreeRiversPantryChallenge and, since I still have my Mason Jar set up for growing Sprouts, I'm going to resume that practice. I join you all in learning about the Citrus Haul!😄✝️🙏🏼

    Yes! I keep cooked taco meat and chicken in my freezer. I can easily dump some tomatoes, beans, onion, seasonings, etc in a pot with the taco meat and we have taco soup in 15 minutes. I turn the chicken into some kind of chicken veggie or chicken enchilada soup.

    I call them emergency meals! Def a must in this house. Wonderful for illness or quick meals or emergencies whatever they may be. Great idea for having 3 diff freezer meals available. What do u do if i didn't thaw it out from the night before though? Does it just take longer to bake? Ty

    @@CG-mj8tk yes, they take longer to bake. But if you have an instapot the warming up time it takes to start cooking will act as a defrost time. In the oven just put it in at 300 fir 30 minutes than bump up the temperature

    I love how well all your children eat. They all eat the same foods, they eat on their own...it's refreshing. Many kids these days refuse to eat certain foods because they have gotten used to eating out and eating what they are in the mood for. It is not how I grew up nor how my children grew up. We are trying to teach our grandchildren the same way but it's more challenging. I love your channel and seeing your back to basics approach. I wish we could all go back to simpler, better times.

    I make fridge dump soup too. I like to start a bag in the freezer where I put any leftovers that would be good in a soup and wait til it's full enough to make soup. It always has multiple kinds of meat and veggies, even multiple types of broth. But it's always delicious.

    I make salmon patties from my home canned salmon. In the past I would can the salmon we caught. But now with all the restrictions on catching salmon here on the southern oregon coast. I found that when our Safeway has a great sale on whole salmon filets. Usually farm raised that I hate to eat broiled etc. Too mushy. They work great to can. So that is what I have done the past couple of years. So now I have a bunch of jars of home canned salmon on my pantry shelves. I put gluten free/dairy free dried bread crumbs, that I had maklde into my homemade "shake and bake" crumbs. And I use that. Along with eggs from my chickens, and salt and pepper. We usually have them 3 times a month. I also make patties out of my home canned tuna. I buy those off the boats during tuna season here. I like to use different seasonings and flavors in my home canned tuna also. It's fun to be creative with my canning.

    Haha! That's husbonds for you' :-) My husband puts all kinds of things on his food to give it an extra 'puff'. Hot sauces, ketchup, all kinds of pickled stuff, spice-mix'es, sun-dried tomatoe's in oil, jalapenos, mustard, kesam, and he's an expert in eating all the little bits and bobs that are left in jars in the fridge... And I am SO impressed by your children! They are very good at eating their vegetables. But then again... you are marvellous at making the veggies so that they taste good for them! I hope you all feel better soon

    I am just loving this. Our freezer was so full and I had so much stuff. We came home from our kids' houses on Jan 6, and started the challenge. This week we rearranged things in the freezer because we knew we had used stuff and wanted to see what we should use next. Just after that someone arrived with FIVE pork loins for us to share with others. We put them at least temporarily in the freezer, and they all fit! God is so good. We would have had a big problem otherwise. Yesterday was chilly for us, and so I canned jars of salsa from some #10 cans of San Marzano tomatoes I'd had for a couple of years. Wonderful. Thank you for spurring us on to more creativity and may the Lord BLESS you richly.

I can’t imagine cooking and taking care of sick babies and being sick yourself. I also really liked that you showed real life and real cooking. People are so worried about things having to be perfect or they don’t count. But making do is how most of us live and cook. Especially on a budget. Especially when trying a new recipe. Great video and some great cooking inspiration. I never thought to use pear juice for flavoring and nutrition! Hope everyone is feeling better!
