  • @territn8871
    Your alls channel is my very favorite to watch!!!!! You all are living like I was raised up. Good country folks and that's the best kind of living! I'm 70 yrs old and I love watching you in the kitchen cooking up good southern meals, Megan!!! You cook exactly like I was taught! You all are a wonderful family and you're raising such blessed and precious children! I'm so happy I recently found your channel, it's such a joy knowing young parents are still raising their family to appreciate where their food comes from and teaches them their southern heritage!!!!

    Growing up country style there's nothing like it. God Bless. Your kids are living the dream life. Every kid should live one day getting dirty.
  • @georgejobin1744
    That how kids are suppose to play not in the house playing video games. I grew up just like that.when I could reach the clutch pedal on the tractor with my foot I was a working on the farm best life ever

    Never understood why some folks would season up their flour to dredge up their chicken, pork chops and country fried steak off in it, then dump it when they're done, then turn around and use fresh flour for their gravy. That's just wasteful to me.

    Love watching when I can. Beautiful family. I want to give you an easier way to put up your frozen corn on the cob. Take your fresh pick corn. Cut both ends, peel outside layers of husks off, leave at least 3 layers of husk on. Place in bag and freeze. When you cook, take out what you want to cook, run under water to peel off husk and silk, cook. This way keeps the true flavor of your sweet corn fresh. You can even cook the cobs in the husk on your bbq. Hope you try

    My mom used to make syrup out of the edible lilacs. I wish I had access to them in Southern California, but alas not where I am. She would put a cup of sugar into a cup of boiling water until sugar is dissolved, add two grates of lemon peel, no more, then put the lilac flower petals in the mix and let it simmer for 15 or 20 minutes (nothing green as greens have an unpleasant taste). Strain it and enjoy it in cold or hot drinks OR (the best part) over some vanilla ice cream. (I saw you pouring out the potato water...I always made potato bread with my potato water after reducing it down a bit if there's too much. Now it's just me, so not much anymore.)

    All I can say is your man is a lucky man because you are the one heck of a woman to do everything that you do

    I love to watch deer. Love to eat deer meat. But they are absolute scoundrels when it comes to your garden. And they absolutely love some clover and will try anything to get to it.
