What I have learned from transitioning from a city girl to a homesteading/farming wife is that you really don’t need to go to the gym anymore! Every day is leg and ab day carrying feed and slop, and checking fencing or herding cattle. Squats happen twice a day during milking. Mozzarella day is arm day! 😂 That stretching work is no joke. Super lovely video! I greatly appreciate you sharing all you do. I’ve learned so much from you with your very specific instructions, and I also greatly enjoy watching you teach your kids so many amazing, valuable skills by your side! Those are some very lucky kids to have a mum like you!

I'm 72 and cook very little anymore. But I love watching your channel because it's a relaxing and refreshing break from the chaos of the world.

Hi. Two days ago I found your channel and I am so happy I did. You are a great teacher. I love the way you explain the process of the different things you share. I have been searching for information on how to make homemade cheese and this video was the answer! Certainly, God is good! Thanks!

I am SOOO excited to find you Ruth Ann! I’ve been literally watching you all day🤭🥰 Fresh mozzarella! Fresh Ricotta! Fresh yogurt! I’m a retired nurse and I’ve found my passion once again💗💗 Thank you🥰👏❤️

Your family is so fortunate that a mother would take all day to make the ingredients for Lasagna. I thought it was a chore to make and I didn't make the cheese. LOL

I just found your channel this past weekend.. I’ve been binge watching but I’m going to have to start from the very beginning and take notes. I always gravitated towards the Amish/Mennonite way of how they live of the land. Making things from scratch. Thank you for taking time to showing us how to make wonderful wholesome foods.

I can tell just by watching your videos how much you love to pour yourself into your homemaking and cooking. I am the same way. My home is my heart and when all the kids and grands come over for meals, that is when I am in my happy place. I am sure your family appreciates all the love and care you put into all that you do to keep them happy and healthy. Love your videos. That mozzarella looks AMAZING!

I don't comment much but I want to say how deeply I appreciate the details and how and why and your videos.. I've learned more from watching you than any other channel.. Blessings from my home to yours 🙏

I feel like I just found my likeminded people. Genuine from scratch food. I thought I was alone in this world 😂 EXCELLENT VIDEO!,

Ruth Ann, I am so glad I started watching your videos! I've always wanted to make my own cheese. I don't have cows & fresh milk or cream, but at least now I know the process. I am amazed by all you do & have to wonder what time you start in the morning & if you do the cheese, pasta, & make the lasagna all in one day? You're an amazing lady! God is absolutely good! Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!

This is by far the best cheese making video I've ever seen. I found your channel today and have really enjoyed watching. After this is over, im going to watch the butter churning.

Oh my that looks like so very much fun. I love cheese but in my 73 years I haven’t ever tried to make it. I love to watch all your videos. Thank you so very much.

Fantastic instructions & you have such patience to make all the ingredients by hand! Beautiful family; thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦

My mother had a grater just like that when I was a kid…and I’m almost 60. I love it!

You are such a pro at making cheese . You have had such wonderful teachers. Now you are passing it onto your children. Such a great memory for your family.

I’ve just found my dream content creator❤ You are like a breath of fresh air to us that need this knowledgeable person these days during the changing times BLESS YOU

You are so smart and so hard working! A natural educator! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I admire you very much. I am the Mom of two now grown married sons and now have 3 Grandsons and one Granddaughter. I loved doing for my family and would have loved having you next door. Now as a Grandmother I hope to share all the new things I am learning from you. Your methods are solid and many easier and new to me. Thank you for explaining things so well. I would love a video of how you store your eggs in jars if you haven't already done one. I am watching your videos as quickly as I can.

You have me hook, line and sinker! I am about to turn 73 and learning so much from you. I binge watch your channel for peace of mind and soul. You certainly a blessing on earth. I made my own ricotta yesterday and making the mozzarella today to make the lasagna for dinner tonight. May you and your family be blessed!

💚 Wow, love learning about making Mozzarella cheese! I definitely want to try that 😊. Yummy looking Lasagna. Happy Birthday, Kendrick!💚

Hello Ruth Ann - I too am super excited to have your videos in my life now. You are exactly what I have been looking for, for years. Keep it simple, don't over complicate things. Farm life is hard work but so rewarding. I am now in a position in my life to be able to stay at home full time. We moved across the state of Texas (even moving the cows). I have raised Dutch Belteds now for over 12 years. I have only attempted mozzarella cheese once which was a failure. Your video has inspired me to give it another go. I think I just quite too soon. I can make all kinds of other cheeses, 2024 will be the year that I conquer mozzarella. Thank you again for all your videos. Keep them coming.

Ruth, your wedding manicure is perfect! As is your hair weave! What a glorious day! I'm so happy l found your channel. God Bless you all. Many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻

This is so exciting. I cannot wait to bless my family with homemade cheese. My kids are going to be blown away!

My husband lived in Italy for a few years. Every home he went into had pasta hanging everywhere! He said the matriarchs of the homes were called pasta mama’s. I love making pasta!

You are the most industrious person I have ever seen. The way you made string cheese- pure genius!

These are the kind of videos that I love to watch. You explained every little aspect of making the cheeses and noodles. Thank you for that. Just found your channel and loving your videos.

It was so fun watching you make cheese. You do so good about explaining the process and showing photos, I will try this!

You explain the processes so well!

Oh my gosh thank you for explaining mozzarella stretching process so well! I have not had success with mozzarella and now I feel I understand how to work it. This is the absolute best mozzarella video ever. And I love your cheese grater! The whole video is wonderful but for me the cheese was the highlight as I have been working to learn more things to be good at with my milk since we got a Jersey cow last year🙂

My preschoolers loved to roll pasta. Very tactile and very visual. And very delicious! 😁

I've been binge watching your videos the past few days. Watching you make cheese from scratch makes me appreciate going to the store to buy cheese. Love all your videos!❤

I know this is something I would never have the patience to make but I just love watching your videos. It inspires me to do more from scratch and you are also nice company for me when I'm working alone in the house 😊

I love your channel, I really appreciate you sharing your videos with all of us! ❤

I can honestly say, I’m blown away. I can’t look away. I’ve never seen anyone make mozzarella, ricotta and string cheese. It’s 1:10 am so I gotta pause it and finish it tomorrow. Well done!!!

Fascinating! Love your channel!

Hi RuthAnn, omgosh I must say, I was drooling, and I'm just stoked that you could absolutely say all your components of the lasagne were from your own farm....I love it. It looked just luscious! Happy birthday Kendrick! ❤😂🎉

Thank you for sharing recipes and your family. You are very caring how you teach the children. Really enjoy all the scratch cooking!

Wow! That looks AMAZING!!

Hi Ruth Ann and sweet family! Lasagna is a labor of love for sure. I really enjoy watching your videos, it takes me back to a simpler time in my childhood when I had my nose in the bowl my mama would say, lol. My grandmother taught me many things and I learned to can, garden and many walks in the woods learning about plants. Thank you for taking the time to share your food, knowledge and most of all your family. Have a blessed day!

Thank you so much! I love the way you teach such great skills! I have been binge watching for a week now. Getting braver in my kitchen. Thank you again!

I am glad I watched this. You explained & showed how it actually works.

Yum! I love cooking from scratch but you always inspire me to do more!

I like to stretch some out to the size of my pinky. Then I use that to make stuffed crust pizza! Along with some homemade tomato sauce! You can also take the string cheese, roll it in bread crumbs, and deep fry it to make deep fried mozzarella sticks . Instead of shredding my cheese, I would roll it out into round or rectangle sheets for pizzas or lasagna. Oh my goodness I have to stop watching the video. Because now I’m starving! 😂 Everything looks delicious! Thank you for sharing! 😊

How fun it was watching you make both cheeses and then putting it all to use.

Your videos always give me a kind of peace while watching. Your love of family and caring for them is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Everything looks delious love your shredder

Your channel is awesome ❤ I am living on a plot, off-grid and love learning from you! Thank You for the great teachings 🙏

Looks so amazing! Getting the kids involved is awesome. ❤

Thank you so much for all of your videos! I make hot pockets with your homemade hamburger buns now and my entire family loves them! May the Lord bless you and your family for many years ✨🙏🏼♥️

I catch myself smiling while I’m watching you make cheese this makes me Happy !!!

What a beautiful labor of love. You have amazing skills! Thank you for the great content. I just found your channel, and I’m looking forward to watching lots of episodes.

This is my go to video it will never get old! Thank You so much.

You amaze me at your ability at cheese making. You’re also a good teacher. Very explanatory. Thanks for sharing

God bless you and your dear family. You are so sweet, patient, and a great teacher! I made monzerrella a couple of times years ago and loved it! I want to buy some rennet!

Love your shredder thank you for making the video

I am convinced there is nothing you can't do! Everything looks delicious and I very much appreciate you showing us how we can make the cheese, pasta and lasagna ourselves. You never fail to inspire me to step out and try something totally new. Thank you!

You are so talented and interesting to watch. What a gift of knowledge that has been passed down to you. Happy Cooking!

One of the best videos I have seen on u-tube. You explain everything so well. I wish I could taste your lasagna. God bless you.

Ruth Ann you’re amazing!!! Love your channel!!❤️❤️❤️❤️I never knew how to make cheese until you had a video of it…

I love learning how your family preserve your vegetables and other stuff

You have the only video on YT which explains the process of low moisture mozzarella.. you don’t point out the process tricks but they are there . 👏👏👏 thank you!!

I’m obsessed with your channel 😅 I love it. So interesting and I learn so much.

I have binged watched your videos all day and haven’t gotten anything done today!😂😂

Your great pasta video is what originally brought me to your channel. The grandkids love to help make pasta.

Love all your videos! You're so adorable, I enjoy listening and learning how you do things, and your kids are so cute and well mannered. Wish I was there when you sit down and try out what ever it was you cooked😄

That looks amazing. It also looks like it took you all day to make that wonderful meal! You are a joy to watch and you are so full of information. So glad I found your channel.

Hello I just now found your channel and your video was very informative! IT would be awesome to teach children how to make these cheeses! Science and a kitchen skill at the same time!

Best cheese demo I've seen. Thank you!

Thought watching someone's hand squeezing goop in a pot would be so relaxing...now I have to watch AGAIN to actually do this..your teaching is perfect.thx

I just want to let you know that I have tried mozzarella from several people on KZfaq. Your way was fantastic. I was able to work with the cheese in a wonderful way. Thank you so very much

The skills you share are soo appreacted!

Ruth Ann I found you a week or so ago. I love you showing how you make Mozzarella Cheese. I have only tried once and it was a fail. Your explanation about leaving the curds in the whey and keeping them warm and then practically hot makes me think I might try it again. Thanks for your patient teaching.

That is amazing!! A whole dinner with everything homemade.

You know,in one of your videos you pointed out that the viewer who said you didn't sound very educated was right as you have an 8th grade education, just like my mom did. After watching quite a few of your videos, I think I can hear what that viewer was hearing, but I don't think it's education related. You're more like a school teacher. You have, effectively, an enormous class size, and you're teaching at a very inclusive pace. It reminds me of how I was taught to cook, except you know more about herbs and simples than my family did. This is an excellent tutorial!

Little women, All I can say is kudos to you! You are truly an inspiration! You would definitely be somebody that I would want to be close to when everything turns to crap! Excuse my language but it's the truth! Those days are coming! You are truly blessed!

I LOVE how down to earth you are! Just like our moms and grandmas are. Finger test and all. As moms we know first hand about cleanliness! So people may frown. 🙄 That’s how we learned. It’s not like we want to sicken our family. You are such an inspiration.

😊it's nice to see from dinner from beginning to end. True farm to table food!

I've always wanted to make cheese! I'm so excited. I can buy raw milk in town and rennet they sell from a company in my state. I just bought the same cheese grater. I loved yours so much. Mine was awful. Thanks for another great video

Thoroughly enjoy your channel!

JUST WOWZA!! You make it all look so easy.

Ruthann you are so talented. God touched you with so much knowledge. Thank you for sharing it.

I am captivated by your teaching skills Thank you,your channel brings me great joy.

I was taught by a lady from Mexico to dilute the renet with milk, then stir the curds and add it to your large pot of milk. I also use 1qt of saved whey from the last batch of cheese. I was also taught how to use quajo/or goat gut to use as renet.

Amazing to watch. Oh the things I learn from watching you!

Well we made the mozzarella and what fun! First time ever doing this. It was fun stretching it. To see mine do what your did was so exciting! Thank you and will never buy it again. It certainly would be fun for teenagers to help and stretch! I just can't get over the taste and texture difference from store bought. Put some of that ricotta on split small peppers and top with salsa! YUM!!!

My goodness girl the more I watch you the more you amaze me. You really save a lot of money by doing that I'm telling you . I know I said this before but Lord have mercy I wish you was my neighbor. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That mozzarella cheese looks wonderful! You are such a great teacher, Ruth Ann. Thank you for this video.

That grater is amazing!! Would love to find one of those. I’m sure it’s antique. Thank you for your videos. Be blessed.

Wow I just found your channel the other day and today I watched you make 3 different cheeses and lasagna pasta. You definitely amaze me ❤

Watching this was amazing. You did a great job teaching. Love your channel.😊

I hope your family appreciates all that you do for them. Wow, i am impressed and that doesnt happen very often. You are one hard working lady. I can tell the amount of love for your family that you put into each and every project you take on. I hope the Lord Jesus continues to bless you and your family. God bless you!!!!

that's the first time i saw the strechting in the whey instead of the microwave, i think when i do try it, i will use your method!!

This is so incredible and inspiring ❤ much love and blessings to you and your family

I so enjoyed your video. I tried to make mozzarella about 10 years ago and I didn’t try again because of lack of confidence. God bless you and your family. I will try this again

Amazing the knowledge this woman has, Thank you!

God bless you and your family!! Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher!!❤❤❤

Wow you can do anything,I love your videos

So glad I found you. I am going to share with my family and friends. Starting on sourdough but still want to make artisan bread now cheese and butter ice cream next

Greatly enjoying your lessons on cheese making. Elders here spends a lot of $$ on store bought mozzarella "string cheese" .. I need to show them your video & help make some. 😊

You are amazing! So very hard working and creative! You have my admiration! I thought I cooked from scratch but not like you! My cheese and pasta comes from the grocery store! I do can my tomatoes and dry my basil! However I’m 74 and slowing down!

Made your chicken noodle soup yesterday with the homemade noodles. My granddaughter ( age 4) helped me roll and cut. She ate it yesterday and today, loves it. ❤
