Me too, there's a peace I get just watching her and Andy. They're the sweetest most calming couple and I learn something everyday from watching they're channel.

I agree about Duke's mayo! It is the best mayo out there! Yummy on any sandwich! And Maggie is so precious! I was never able to have children. But if I had, I would have been so proud if they had been like Maggie and Jake. A tribute to how good you are as parents. Kudos!

I always scrape cobs! Get all that good milky stuff out. Makes it so creamy! Yum!❤

Maggie is the sweetest! 3:52 “don’t worry mom that happened to me too!” 🥰

Pretty corn!! I guess everyone cuts it off differently. Love following you guys and admire all your hard work! Love seeing the kids running barefooted all the time! That’s how kids should be! Happy canning!

Maggie and Jacob are getting the BEST EDUCATION they could possibly dream of and one day when they’re our age they’ll look back at their parents and be sooo grateful! Education camps are no longer a good education choice in my opinion. Mine is homeschooled too and sooo smart and well rounded! He knows as much about a Ford Powerstroke Diesel 7.3 and or 6.0 6.4 6.7 as he does the history of the world because he’s hands on daily getting things done and researching and learning what he LOVES MOST. Kids learn when they take an interest not when their curriculum is picked by someone else. I’m so glad y’all are homeschooling-I call it “unschooling” myself lol. But y’all are doing what I’m about to be doing come tomorrow morning at daylight-seven rows of corn preservation. So far what we’ve been daily eating has been DELICIOUS! Fried corn and corn on the Cobb. Delicious. I planted peaches and cream, silver queen, stowells and a little row of rainbow for fun. The silver queen and stowells cross pollinated with the dominant peaches and cream but hey-it eats the same! 😂I’m not mad about it at all I knew it would happen. I now have my own seed I’ll call “peaches & queen”🤣👏🏼. God bless y’all! 🙏🏼❤️Leslie Florence Alabama

Completely agree! I homeschool my littles and it’s the best decision I ever did make. They get to learn the things that most school’d grads can’t even do!

We just love to watch how you teach your daughter to do everything you do. She is so adorable and helpful.

Your dedication to preparing delicious meals warms our hearts and fills our bellies with joy. Every dish you create is a testament to your culinary artistry and care. And I am Floating Village Life

Megan I cut my corn 🌽 off the same as you,I’ve tried other methods but went back to using a knife 🔪. You and your family are the busiest people I’ve ever seen. Your 🌽 corn looks amazing. From Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Yay!!! A homestead couple with no long beard and no visible tattoos. So refreshing!!

My mouth was watering too...tomato sandwich 🥪 😋

OH GIRL,THAT SANDWICH IS JUST RIGHT. YUM, YUM.

I found it easier to cut my sweet corn over a bigger bowl. I use a sharp parring knife, hold ear in left hand use knife starting at butt end . The trick to cut put knife an angle as you saw back and forth. I found it cuts with ease cutting three or four rows.👋👋❤️

Megan, You got a treasure in that man helping you.

My grandfather always said plant enough corn 2 ears per persons per day

I love how Andy helps you with everything an you help him y'all are just so sweet 😊😊

😂 ever since my daughter was little she says when I can corn it looks like glitter was thrown around the kitchen. No matter what dish I use to remove the kernels some still goes everywhere.

@@MNTNSTARZ80. Get you a large deep bowl, put a smaller bowl like a cereal bowl upside down in it, stand your corn butt end down on the smaller bowl and cut down and the kernels will fall right down into the bowl, u just did 3 bushels like this and no mess, I even put my bowl in a chair and set in front of it and everything was the right height for me to cut,

Wow you're the first one I've seen use the old pressure cookers like mine everybody else has got these gages on them mine just got this weight that's it the good old pressure cooker not like these light ones nice and heavy the only thing you got to replace once in a while or once in your lifetime is the seal And all you got to do is just turn the lid to lock them down not tighten a bunch of knobs I don't know how they ever get those knobs tightened evenly

I read the comments just to see if someone would suggest the electric knife! It certainly made quick work of the 3 bushels we did recently. And much easier on these arthritic hands!

I use a Bundt pan to cut corn off the cob. Just stick the pointy end in the middle part of the pan keeps the cob from slipping around and the corn falls in the bowl.

I scrape the cobs too and that corn juice be everywhere but there's nothing like some good old creamed corn fried in fat back grease. I was very sick and had lost my appetite which is very rare, but when I started watching you cook those good old country meals, my appetite got right and I've been fine every since. I enjoy watching you and the family. Have a good week.

I lightly blanch my corn 🌽Then I the use a Bundt 🌽pan. 🌽Insert the pointy end into the hole of the pan. All the corn falls into the pan 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽as I cut it off.

Love your content,and I could listen to you talk all day long!with your hotdog chili,if you add a little water when you cook the ground beef,it breaks the meat down a little smaller..great consistency for putting on hot dogs!!

Yum, yum fresh ripe tomato sandwich. The only thing missing is thinly sliced onion. Have you ever tried putting your corn on the for peeling off kernels on a bunt pan. Will help make it a little easier . Just put the corn bottom if still a little bit of stalk still there or the skinny top part in the hole of pan and helps it go a little faster. It looks good. Gonna be eating good for the year.😊 Happy weekend.

❤Meagan if you have ❤a tube cake pan put the pointed end of the ear in the middle then you can cut the kernels off with a knife and the pan with catch them

When we used to pick and put up corn, my grandmother used one of those curvy slide cutters, then take a knife and turn it sidways and scrape off the rest. it makes a good creamy corn, if thats what you like. A little late for this video but yall could try it one year and see if you like it. Wed pick a truckload around 6 am, then carry to my Grandmother's house to shuck, scrape and cook on a saturday. It was enough for my family (9 kids and 2 adults) and my Grandmother/Granddaddy to last all winter

I just put up corn the other day. I got 9 pts. And had some left over for dinner that night. But it was a all day job. Putting up veggies is a hard job but so good in the winter time. And not have to get out in the cold to go to the grocery store. And girl you can't go wrong with Dukes and a mater sammich. So so good. That's what real country folk eat. 😂

You just answered my question!!! Only been canning 7 year's!! I thought I had bad lids!!!! To tight! That's what I did wrong!! Tanks A bunch!!

Your green beans look wonderful over on the counter

Girl you know you've gotta use Dukes mayonnaise lol, that sandwich looked real good, y'all have a blessed day 🙂💐

Blue plate down here in south central Mississippi!!

We eat tomato sandwiches all the time!! So delicious!!! My daddy started that with us !!!

I too cut the corn off the cob with a knife but , I scrape the cob so I get all the sweet corn milk and it is so good . I live here in the middle of South Carolina , about 45 miles from Columbia , my garden is about the size of yours . Like you , I canned corn in pint jars and also put it in the freezer on the cob , OOOH , this is so good in the winter months I have just finished canning Fig Preserves they too are so good , you need to try those . I think ya`ll would love them .

We always had a large garden that fed 4 families. Once we pulled and froze 800 ears of cut off corn in one day! But when we fixed corn we always, always, always had a tomato sandwich and corn on the corn!!

That "mater" sandwich is bringing back memories of me eating with my great grandfather 😊 thank you

I wait all Winter and Spring for that first tomato sandwich.😂

That rounded up dish pan full of corn reminds me of Mama and Grandma canning and freezing corn years ago. I'm like you Meagan. I can live off tomato sandwiches when the tomatoes start coming in and we follow the exact same recipe except I peel my tomatoes like Mama. Also when they give out, I'm done with tomatoes until next year. I like that chili recipe and will have to share it with my sister. Y'all have a great weekend and I hope y'all get some rain. Still dry here. Y'all show how sustainable farming can be . The corn feeds the people, the shucks feed the livestock and the worms feed the chickens.

So Let me give u a tip. I set a small bowl or ramekin inside my big bowl. Set my cob on that little bowl and the corn falls into my big bowl. But I also cook those spent cobs on a low simmer. That makes a tasty corn stock for soups. Those cobs are full of flavor.

@misstlc7136

Ай бұрын

Yep that corn stock would be perfect to put in your canning jars.

A trick I do when cutting sweet corn off the cob is to put a plastic bowl upside down in the bowl I am cutting it into. You can use metal too, it lifts the ear up and makes it easier to cut. We love watching y’all!

That’s just about exactly how I make my chili too but I add a lot more chili powder but that’s what’s fun about cooking right? Everyone puttin’ their own personal spin on their food. In the winter I make chili ( a little thicker) with beans and corn too, then put it in a casserole dish top with cheese then put corn bread mix . (I like sweeter corn bread but to each his own) bake until corn bread is set and it’s all bubbly! Love to watch you! Thank you sooo much!

Look up a recipe for Dilly Beans in your Ball book.They are delicious. Green beans, garlic, add a little hot pepper if desired. Wonderful pickled green beans. I know your family will love them !!

Gotta have Duke's mayo!! Love the videos. Life's a garden, Dig it!

Have you ever made corn cob jelly? Absolutely delicious!

I figured out that I can use the juice from when I make salsa to can some of my corn. It becomes a Mexican corn that we eat separately or in other dishes (like tacos). I can’t get over how good your corn does, and the amount that you can. Your husband reminds me of mine when he helped me prepare fruits and vegetables for canning. Bless you all.

OMG!!! My 2 absolute FAVORITES!!!!! Mater sandwich any time of day and corn on the cob with ANY meal makes the perfect side.

Oh Meagan, you had the holy grail of sandwiches! My mouth was watering

Toasted tomato sandwich is so good.. Learning a whole lot about canning corn today..thankyou.. Much love and appreciation from Australia..

Good morning , really enjoyed the fun video you folks shared this morning. The corn canned up really great and will be so good in the cold fall thru spring . The hot-dog chili will be awesome, it will beat the socks off of store bought. Hope to try some of this before long. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and the fun you all have making them. Fred.

Messy cooks are the best cooks!!!! I just got my cookbook yesterday and I love it!

I love watching your videos! You remind of when we were kids and helping my mom with putting canning and freezing vegetables and fruit. We always had a milk cow for our milk and butter. We butchered chickens, a cow and a pig every year. We rendered our own lard. We definitely ate well. We didn’t know we were poor.

Love your videos so much. Maggie is so sweet.

Hahaaaa! I can just feel that goo that fell on your toes! It’s so gross !Corn is my favorite thing to put up in the summer, tomatoes second. Seeing your jars of corn all lined up makes my heart happy 😊. Always take a big bowl of corn to church dinners ! Nothing like “garden corn”! And btw so thankful for your rainfall ! Sweet Maggie , it is such a joy to hear talking 😄 !! We always feed the worms to the chickens too! Corn on the cob goes with everything especially tomato sandwiches! My mouth is watering too ,Throw in some fried potatoes and I’m in heaven yum!! Chili for hotdogs sounds great! Y’all take care and God bless y’all

Man can’t no one cook like my Appalachian brothers and sisters. My great gran Sarah was the best.

Oh my goodness gracious I love tomato sandwiches. I never had corn on the cob 🌽 with a tomato 🍅 sandwich 🥪 but I’m sure I’m gonna give it a try. And I’m having chili dogs for supper but my chili is out of a can I cheated enjoy your supper that was a very good video ❤️

The whole time you fixed the chili I was admiring that beautiful canned corn!!! I just love homecanning!!!!! I think it's fun to can. So many people are scared of a pressure canner, but there's nothing to it. I have 2 big canners also. Back in the 1950s, I remember my mom and mamaw canning outside in a huge washtub over a wood fire. I think mom said you could can 21 quarts at a time in those washtubs. Took practically all day though, and you had to keep tending the fire to make sure the water stayed boiling.

The iodized salt will cause your liquid to turn cloudy. This makes checking your canned goods for bacteria growth hard to do. Cloudy is one way recommended to check for a bad jar of food. Also, I don’t peel my tomatoes but my mother would not eat a tomato unless it was peeled. She said that since it took many months for tomato peels to decompose in the compost pile, she wasn’t putting them in her body.

It's Always Fun Watching you too working together, Awesome Husband & Wife ...Show Nuff..

Use an old Bundt pan to cut your corn off, stick the end down in the whole and cut and turn, it catches it better too. You may want to try it. That’s what I do!

Awesome hack - may be a sizing problem but trim it with a knife after 👌

Meagan, when making chili sauce for hot dogs I use a potato masher to break the meat into really small pieces -- works amazing 😁. I think a lot of folks thought you were making chili, not chili sauce. There's a big difference in them as you dont want huge chunks on your hot dog. Enjoyed another chance to be with y'all . I also prefer to use a knife for cutting corn. Have a blessed day

My tomatoes aren't ready yet. I'm dying watching you eat that tomato sandwich!

Megan! I have seen videos where people push the corn thru the hole in a bundt cake pan. Strips it right off.

I love your videos. A little tip I've found is if you use your tater masher while the ground beef is almost all browned, it shops it up finer for hotdog Chilli. And again awesome videos, love you guys!!

Hello Megan Oh my goodness Tomato sandwich my mouths watering 😋yum….

Glad to see there was some left handed cobbs.

Here’s an idea…if u have a bunt cake pan try that. I find that the “hole” is a perfect place to put the cob and then as I cut the kernels fall down into the pan 😊 my fav way to do it

I like to put some diced peppers and onion in my corn and make mexi-corn. I like the red jalapeños. 😅 Lookin good sister. Wheres the cornbread?

This is one of the best and most informative videos of yours I’ve seen in awhile. I make my tomato sandwiches like that too, just don’t toast the bread. Never tried corn on the cob with one, I’ll have to try that. Your hotdog chilli recipe looked delicious. I live about 8 miles from y’all, if you’ve got any extra tomatoes I’d gladly pay for some.

Love y’all

Didn't know the onion trick but will be using it tonight! Your videos are always so calming and there is a gentleness to your family- love watching!

Wow and you cut your onions the same way I do my onions maybe I learnt from you on a earlier video cause I just started doing that last year makes it so much easier than chopping them

😮Here in south Louisiana we love corn maque choux Recipe ingredients together, including 4 slices bacon, 3 cups corn (about 4 ears worth + milk from the corn cobs), 1 medium yellow onion, 1 red bell pepper, 1 jalapeno pepper, 1 tablespoon Cajun seasonings + salt and pepper, 1/4 cup chicken stock, and ½ cup of heavy cream (or use extra chicken stock for a more traditional version

Love your videos. Up here in South Central PA, we would have added a big can of kidney beans, to that chili. Haha

I use a bundt pan to cut my corn off. Stick the cob in the center and the cut off corn falls right into the pan!! So easy!! I just found your channel and I’m already loving it!! 🥰

Wow a knife is a luxury. We always used just our thumbs to get kernals off!

Beautiful Canned Corn 🌽 Those Tomatoes 🍅 Looks Delicious 😋

Tomato sandwiches are a favorite at my house. We make them but add cheese, some basil and grill them often. Glad to see I'm not the only one. Shalom

We use an electric knife…much faster and easier. We only freeze the corn as we both were brought up just by blanching, cutting off the cob, then freezing in baggies. Never have tried to can it. Love your family and videos!

I enjoy your channel. It's a busy life but also appears peaceful.

I stumbled on a way to prevent the browning of the corn sugars from an Amish lady. Add a spoon of lemon juice and a spoon of sugar to each jar. It sounds counter intuitive, but it works.

“ Don’t worry Momma that sometimes happens to me.” LOL love tomato sandwiches.

Oh, my gosh! MY mouth was watering when you made that tomato sandwich! Here in South Florida, we can't grow tomatoes in the summer, so I will be having my first tomato sammie in December or January.... Oh, how I miss garden tomatoes!

Have you ever made corn cob jelly? It's yummy!

Good morning from NW Oregon, love to can, corn is a bit messy but that makes it so much better. Have a blessed day😊

That tomato sandwich is perfect!!

Yes. I like to get mine in the freezer same day it’s picked.

Megan, I use a Bundt pan and stick the top of the cob in the center hole and cut down my cob. Corn falls in Bundt pan. Goes fast and not such a struggle to hold cob steady.

Get you a large deep bowl put a smaller cereal size bowl upside down in it, stand your corn butt end down and cut and it all falls down in the bowl , so easy to keep it from going everywhere

I have a Pressure Cooker like Megan's. Yet she uses it as a Pressure Canner. I don't have one of those HIGH DOLLAR Canners that all these Homesteaders use so I'm going to try my Pressure Cooker. Just what Pressure do I set it on. It's not quite as big as hers. Ty!

Great crop of corn ! We also add a can of red kidney beans to our chillie. Once again thanks for your videos, and best wishes to you.

Growing corn for the first time this year. We bought our little 1 acre property in November and put in big garden, blueberries, black raspberries and thornless blackberries. I did can corn last summer that I bought from farmer. We are in South PA and live near many Amish farmers and farmers in general. Would love to be able to can my own corn though. Will have to see how it comes in!

I had the first tomato sandwich of the year last week. It's better than xmas

Megan if your corn slicer thingy is like mine, the first time down the blade is for just whole kernel corn. Then if you want creamed corn, you go across the blade a second time to make it creamed corn. I always do it twice (my mama did too) so as not to waste the bottom part of the kernels.

That sandwich is awesome!! I was hoping Andy would try one too!! I’m still waiting on my tomatoes to get ripe but that’s the first thing we will have when they do!! Love this channel…I’ve learned so much from you all. Thanks for sharing your life and experiences with us!! Kristi

I want to can, I want to get the canning book that you have. Oh my good, Tomatoe sandwich with mayo looked so Yummy. Beautiful home grown Tomatoes and corn, I remember the when we grew our own food.😊❤🙏 Ms.Ruby

The tomato sandwich sure made my mouth water. If it ain’t dukes I don’t eat it.❤❤

Megan, my family doesn't like big chunks of onion either (I can eat them like apples) so what I do is use my box grater and grate the onion into whatever I am making. Great flavor and no chunks!! Watch every episode and look forward to following you'all.

😊And don't forget the shredded cheese!!! Beautiful sandwich!

Great looking corn! I use a TON of pepper on my 'maters too, only way to eat them! I use crushed whole tomatoes and stewed tomatoes in my chili, plus if you add just a little splash of vinegar in your chili, oh boy it makes a wonderful difference. But yours looked great! Thanks for the video. God Bless!

Thanks for sharing...new subbie here 😊 That tomato sandwich looks so good, I bet those tomato juices ran right down to your elbow...yummmmm! 😋

I just got done last week with 20 pints plus some frozen corn. I buy mine from our local Amish. It’s a job! Your little girl is so fun to watch! I love that you’re teaching her to be a big person. She’s just got so much confidence which means momma and daddy are doing a fantastic job! I tend to baby my kiddos. I’m a grandma now tho and always say it’s my right to love them and baby them. I was a tough momma because there was so much teaching! Basically, now, my grandsons act helpless when grandmas around! 😂
