So... this video gets my vote for the best opening scene ever!! Hot griddle. Melting butter. That sizzle when the sausage hits the hot surface! Perfect! No words needed. Thank you Matt & Tipper!

Matt's tomatoes are having to be rationed, due to an unfortunate tomato seed snafu at the beginning of the season. Tipper and Corie are keeping mum in trying to uphold their reputation, and it has been fodder for much content this season! LOL! Good natured garden ribbing.

My husbands Mamaw grew up in the Great Smoky Mt National Park and the park moved her into a little house just outside the park borders. He told me a story of how she chased a BIG bear off her property with a BROOM at 80 years old as he tried to tear down her big bird feeder. Fierce Mountain woman!

I think it’s wonderful that Matt is able to do so much in the house! Saves lots of money.

Hi Tipper and Matt. Y'all have made me hungry. Why does eating outside make it taste better? My hat's off to whoever taught Matt how to cook. I truly believe you have both spoiled the other, as it should be. Hugs to you both.

I agree it is heart warming to see how they take such good care of and help each other. Speaking of eating outside, my son and I packed some food to eat after we went for hike on what was a warm day in May, it warm but not sultry (as my Grandma would say) and there was a good breeze that day too. One of things we packed was cucumber sandwiches and those were the most refreshing things after walking that long trail. I like cucumber sandwiches but biting into that after being on that long walk while we stood behind the car in the shade of the trunk lid with the breeze blowing, oh boy was that so good!

I lived in Bear Habitat on the back side of Cades Cove in the Smokey Mtns. We had bears at our cabin all the time so we were very bear aware. We had a very big sow and her three cubs that walked down in front of our cabin every morning and evening. She had a regular routine. It was great to see her but we did have to be cautious and vigilant. This time of the year they are in a feeding frenzy getting fat for winter. They are so interesting. We never left any food or bird feeders out to attract them. With a garden it's a lot harder to keep them at a distance. Love it that Matt has more time to spend at home and sharing with the family. Can't wait to see y'all on the porch when fall is here playing music.

That’s exactly how my husband cooks his breakfast. As for me, no mayo, thank you, and I like to dip my toast in a runny yolk. Thank you for filming for us. I’m so grateful!

A trademark of southern homes, is to have a porch swing! I remember having a porch swing, when I was growing up.

Y'all are my kind of people. We've used black sharpies for covering up things all our lives. Those sandwiches look so good & food just isn't the same when it's cooked outdoors. Prayer for Granny & hugs to all of you!

I love sitting on my porch! When the weather gets cooler. Ya'll are just down home folks❤

That is a sentence I’ve never heard before. “Our dews are heavy here.” I live near “the” lake, yet it is surprisingly dry during most of the year.

Matt is a number 1 egg flipper. Nothing beats cooking and eating outside. Coffee on the porch a real treat. Something just makes it smell and taste better.

There is so much calcium in our water down here that I’ve been through three hot water heaters in 15 years. I sure wish I could get 28 years out of mine! What a blessing that would be!

Matt sure can cook! That looked delicious! You are one blessed woman to have a good man like Matt, but then he is doubly blessed to have a good woman. Y’all were just meant to be together!

Thank you for sharing your breakfast time with us Tipper and Matt.

That is my kind of breakfast .. I kept saying while he was cooking first where is the cheese and come on where is the mayonnaise... Lol exactly the way we eat them here in the hills of Arkansas.. great video..

We had to replace our water heater about 9 months ago, and it was sticker shock. The first quote was around $2000, so we called our electric co-op. They had a rebate on a new one and a plumber they used. Including the installation, it was less than half that amount. They now have these little tanks on top for expansion--I'd never seen one like it. Both plumbers that came out predicted these new water heaters would only last 8 or 9 years now. It's crazy. It's planned obsolescence. My mother just replaced hers and it had lasted 40 years.

Grill seasoned well and right temperature. Delicious breakfast 🍳

Bless you Tracy!! We appreciate all you do and I know your father does too!!

You’ve probably seen the video of the bear in Lake Tahoe that comes into a convenience store, takes some candy bars, and leaves. The clerk just stands there and fusses at him. Not a lot else you can do!

Our water heater lasted about 10 years. The guy at Lowe's said that's about how long they last now. They wanted $600 to install it and we said, "Thanks but no thanks. We'll do it ourselves!" It was an all day job because the old fittings and new fittings didn't match. We had to go to a plumbing supply store for the connectors, but that was the hardest part.

I live in Minnesota, and grew up in Wisconsin so I am familiar with bear. I went around the corner to the back of the cabin and a Black Bear and I almost hit noses, and I instinctively tore off running like crazy. Someone saw it happen and said the bear was running one direction and I was running the other direction, and they were laughing and saying the bear was more afraid of me then I was😮I'm just glad it wasn't a grizzly 🥶

😅 Love how Matt gets hungry when you start talking about food!😂 Ty you again for a very relaxing visit.😊

Miss Cindy was so thoughtful & generous❣️😢

So many years later, and you are both still attractive and sharing... ❤

Can’t believe Matt didn’t put a slice of Cherokee purple on that out of world sandwich. The sausage looked amazing! God bless you guys! What a way to start the day.

Every time here lately, I catch a Channel I watch, they are Cooking..I think I'm gaining weight just from watching..sure wish I had someone to cook me some good country food or have enough good health to be able to for myself. BE CAREFUL with the bears and God Bless & Take Care..Hope Granny is Doing Better..

Lovin' how that griddle is singin'! Where's your fresh mater? Must have run outta room. Ha!Ha!

Just love visiting with you both, Tipper and Matt.

Love eating outdoors . Everything tastes better outside especially coffee. Brings me back to my childhood going up to the lake hopatcong in Nj every Sunday during the summer. Eating breakfast and lunch by the lake with our huge Italian family. We would be the only family making sauce , pasta and meatballs for our big lunch. While others were grilling. Very happy childhood memories. I now live in south Florida . We are in a heat wave down here heat indexes in the 110°-115°, do not much eating outdoors right now. Our ocean temps have reached 100° . Very concerning for marine life , coral reefs and hurricane season. 😊. I enjoy all your videos . Thank you

I watched your yummy breakfast cooking and had to make me a breakfast sandwich too, minus the sausage because I had none. lol The twin bear cubs sound as delightful as your twin cubs but good you are watching out for Momma Bear!🐻 🤗 🤗 I can’t believe your water heater lasted so long! I think 10 years is about as long as ours last. Maybe our water is harder than yours. I enjoyed your talk on the porch! God bless!

We’ve had some hard rain past 3 days. Tornado watch yesterday. (Southwest Va) I figured Matt would had put him a big slice of tomato on his sandwich. 😊 We still have a bear getting in our cattle feed, a lot of people seeing him but haven’t got him yet. We are seeing a lot of deer too. Big herds in the fields. My husband is like Matt as he can fix about anything, thank goodness! Good luck with replacing your hot water heater.

Tipper, we had dinner tonight with our niece who is a senior in high school. She had just come from a ceremony at the local technical school. One of the presenters said they were “eat up with scholarships this year.” My niece asked what that meant. I explained it to her and got a good laugh thinking of how she might have interpreted it. The conversation made me think of you so I thought I would share. Tell Matt my Papa would have added a nice thick layer of grape jelly to that sandwich had he been there.

The bear makes me think of a couple years ago my son sent me a video .He was in his tree stand and there was a mommy and 3 cubs right under him walking around.I never prayed so hard in my life.He was calm I was ready to have a nervous break down.

I’m blessed as well that my husband Tom can replace things that break down. We always say things sure don’t last as long as they used to. Blessings to Granny and you all. I’m in Tawas Mi for the week as soon as I got out my of my truck one then another bald eagles flew over. It was awesome. ❤️🙏❤️

That would be a wonderful title for a book. Having breakfast on the porch and talking about bears.❤️

Thank you both for having us come along , Great looking sandwich Matt .Have a wonderful week stay safe

In our area of Virginia, you need to have an inspector come to make sure it is properly vented and installed. Matt will save you alot of money.

I was a nurses aide taking care of a man and he read from the paper black bears were seen in ohio and just a week later one was spotted down the street in a tree it even made the news. We both laughed about it😊

Oh how nice. I felt like I was having breakfast with you. That's so cool that Matt fixes breakfast for you. You have a wonderful family Tipper.

Matt's egg skills leave me wishing for a video about that but I know it's probably not something that can be taught on a video. That breakfast is calling me! Love from Ohio!

I love it that Matt gets a plan in his head and just makes what he wants. That’s the way I see things in my head but it keeps my brain gears spinning when I should be sleeping.

I love your countertops! The very first thing I noticed in your kitchen!!! I would love to have them!!! I am very much of same mindset as the two of you! Fancy and new does not matter to me, I use things til they are used up! And yes, super cheap made, throw away expensive stuff made today! No long life appliances for sure! I bet the new hot water heater won't last near as long as the last! My fridge is 30 years old and still going. Mom and dad have a deep freezer that's at least 75-80 years old! My deep freezer is over 40 years old. My smaller, newer one busted the seal and the inside top after the 3rd year! I watch you all everyday, its like spending the morning with your friends!

My double ovens gave out and so I replaced with one and my husband made a shelf above it for my microwave. More counter space and just two of us.

That sausage cooked as quickly as the eggs. Wow that was quick.

We had a hot water heater like Mrs.Cindy it was an old mill house I was told then it was over 100 yrs old they quit making the metal ones in the late 50s I loved it because it always had hot water and the cannot was awsome in the kitchen

I remember eating crackling cornbread at breakfast when I was a child. My father raised his own hogs, butchered, made sausage, pork rinds, and had a smokehouse for the hams. We would go hunting on the weekends, mostly for Squirrels or Rabbits, sometimes Deer. I miss those times together.

I am so glad he cooked those eggs well done😂 That is a totally scrumptious sandwich. Good Ole white bread!

Speaking of bears, here in Southern New England, we are overrun with bears. This is a quite built up area, not rural at all. Two weeks ago a bear rambled across my yard. It's very common now.
