I'm so shocked that cooking and baking isn't your thing because you are so good at it and you have an amazing philosophy of clean foods. I've been binge watching your videos tonight after just having one recommended to me. It shows me how selfless and loving you are to dedicate your valuable time to feeding your family so well.

Those boys! ;) glad you left in their rascal power plays! You are one of the hardest working women on youtube for sure & I can see how you are the anchor in your home. God blessed you for sure...and it seems you truly are the Proverbs 31 woman. ;)

I'm so surprised to hear that you don't like to cook or bake! You seem so good at it.

You are an amazing woman and a hard worker . You deserve all the best for the good and love that you bring and share. God bless you and family. ❤️

​@donnaryland2777 I was so surprised as well. I was thinking that even her daughter and Mitchell were old compared to how young Ruthann looks. It goes to show that the food you eat and an active lifestyle can make a massive difference. I wish I was born in the country and not the city.

I am proud to say we have a meal like this every Sunday night at my Father and step Mother's house! He started it years (15 years ago maybe). As our families have grown the room around the table has gotten smaller but what a blessing it is to have your loved ones literally elbow to elbow to enjoy a meal. It really is like Thanksgiving once a week! It is, and always will be, one of my best memories of my life!

My dear Ruthanne I don't know how I found your channel, but since I did I've been watching your videos from oldest to newest , I love your amazing garden and all your animals. They bring me a sense of calmness. . I live in Israel so perhaps you know that we are living through difficult days now and calmness helps. Anyway I wanted you to know that here in Israel, something that we all do, is have Friday family dinner. For us Friday evening is the beginning of the Sabbath. God bless you and your family and thank you for this lovely peak into your way of life.

you just encouraged me so much .. I'm also one that would rather be outside working in the garden or playing with the chickens. I've watched several of your videos (and learned a ton!) -- you are AMAZING with all that you do! you've given me so much hope that I will find a love for cooking, baking and preserving without losing my love for the outdoors. .. one last thing .. education is overrated! you may not have a degree, but you are very smart and a very good teacher! ❤

I so enjoy your videos, I am 67 and was born and raised in West Virginia and your videos remind me of my childhood with my 6 other siblings. Thank you so much. My Father was a preacher and we always had a lot of people for dinner. My Mother was raised in Lancaster PA and her Mother was from Amish country and my Mom loved to cook , garden and canned everything she could find. Thank you again for letting me see into your family, may God bless and keep your family and home.

Such an enjoyable video! I love the family footage! The practical moments, the sounds of cooking, the piano playing, the conversations and just the family dynamics in general. The meal looked delicious!

Hadessa seems like she is a good kitchen helper. Does she enjoy cooking? Always nice to have a kitchen helper :) That pull apart bread looks absolutely delicious as does the entire meal!

I went down a rabbit hole (hydroponic potatoes, led me to storing potatoes, led me to your dry canning potatoes video, and now I'm here). I've decided that even though I'm a 50 year old woman living on my own (with my pup as my sidekick), I've decided I want you to adopt me. Or at least take me in for six months or so for a live in boot camp.

Two years ago, my husband and I purchased a home in PA that is multi-level and I have not been able to clean the outside of the top windows due to height. After watching you pull the top window in to clean the outside, I immediately checked ours and they do the same! I knew the bottom half did but had no idea about the top. THANK YOU!!!!!!! YOU made my day! Side note: I grew up in FL in a single level home where we could reach everything from the outside with a step ladder. :) This is my first time living and maintaining a multi-level home and keeping the outside is a bit more challenging with the height. :)

Your a wonderful wife and mother. And also if more families didn’t watch tv and play video games and have there noses on a phone all day, they would be blessed with children having a great work ethic and get along together in a harmonious way.

In these hectic, troubling days…so good to remember the pleasures of a simple meal, with our family ♥️♥️♥️

Makes me very nostalgic. Grew up and raised my family in Iowa. I love family dinners. We still arable to have Family dinner on Sunday with 2 of my boys and their families. Love it and since my boys learned to cook from me we all contribute to the dinner

Would really love for you to share the recipe for the pull apart cinnamon bread! Thank you to you and your lovely family for sharing your daily lives with us.

Love that, "love tank", so special. We had a going away to college family night for my grandson. He love love loved the homemade hamburger buns. They all did but he especially appreciated that extra effort to see him off the last time until Thanksgiving. He's playing college baseball and living with 3 three teammates, ⚾😅. I'd love to be a fly on the wall the first couple weeks to see these freshman learning how to do all that apartment life entails. Thx for this video. I'm a bread maker again after 20 years away from it. I had a blast kneading the hamburger buns for 10 minutes. 🤷🏻‍♀

For someone that doesnt like cooking and baking sure does a good job at it and a good job teaching everyone how to cook and bake.

I'm so totally surprised that you don't like to cook and bake. You are so awesome and well organized for all you do.

Thank you so much for sharing your family dinner night with us. I'm 72 and when I was little and lived on my Gma and Gpa's farm, it was just like that. We got up early and we all had chores and 1 night a week, 'supper' was a special event. I've been thinking of those times a lot lately and feel very blessed to have grown up in that life. Again, thank you for sharing.....💖

I have so loved every video you have made. You show making your butter, cheese, and yogurt, but I've never heard you mention churning buttermilk. That is one of my favorites, I have no cows and can't find anywhere I can get the real homemade stuff have to go with store bought and it just isn't the same. Churning was a favorite pastime I could sit and once I got my rythm going,it was really relaxing. And the butter was great also. Every once in a while someone gives me some fresh butter and good ole fresh eggs then I like to make a pound cake my grandmother made the best I ever ate, I haven't matched hers but it is still so good. When all the children were growing up they and their father could not wait until it came out of the oven. They wanted it right away and smeared with more butter to boot. Those cakes never had a chance to get cold. And the same thing always happened with my homemade yeast rolls.

I LOVE all the LOVE!!!!!!! Praise GOD!

Do you ever sit down? 😊 Girlfriend I love your energy! Your expertise outside and inside is amazing! What you’ve learned from your family growing up is worth Gold! Thank you for sharing! Love family Night 👏🥰

Wow I like the way the windows open like that to clean what a good idea, we don’t get anything like that in the UK, outside windows are a ladder job.

I appreciate your patience in making these videos. I benefit so much from them and i know its probably a chore big time!, but thank you so much☺️

I wish that more moms cared what their children wanted and would choose selflessness even sometimes Kudos!

I so miss family dinners. I've been thinking of doing it once a month to invite our parents and siblings during the winter months. So nice to see your family all eating together and to see the kids playing outside at the end. I've dreamt of living on a farm since childhood. I've had horses and we lease land and grow and bale hay to sell. I hope the kids realize how lucky they are.

A couple of my kids live an hour away, when the oldest went off to college, I didn't want the boys to drift apart as I had seen happen with my hubby and his brothers. So i started Last Sunday Of The Month dinner at Mom's. Now i started out doing it all myself , but as they started to marry and have families, i started letting them know the main dish or vote on what they wanted, and they help provide the sides/drsserts. It only works because they didn't move that far. Not everyone can make it every month, but enough times in the year to keep close.

I noticed that on one of your videos you were making pies (can't recall what kind) but then you showed the kids eating a snack that you made from the leftover pie dough. Do you have a video on how you made those?
