I'm so glad that Matt showed how to clean ironware & season it properly. My friend Linda got a new iron skillet. She asked her facebook friends how to prepare that skillet for cooking. She called me up & asked me to come over & show her how. I love Linda but she's hard headed. I told her at least 10 times don't use soap on your iron skillet! She did. So I came over & gave her the drill again. She finally got it through her rock head lol 😆😂🤣. Now she just loves that skillet. She bought another one!

Best part of this video was watching Matt clean and season that large cast iron skillet. For those of us who haven't been doing it correctly, this free lesson was very beneficial!

Thank you for this. It sure beats the news. :)

Thank you for sharing this with us. Our rural heritage should be celebrated! God Bless the humble, industrious, Christian families that formed this great nation.

God bless you, your family and all your viewers

Again I say thank you for sharing your family with us, I wish the rest of this old world could enjoy what we have in these here mountains. God truly smiles on us here in the Blue Ridge and Smokies.

Long ago and far away. I lived that life but like so much I was to young to realize what I had.

The music, cooking, homesteading, the beauty Appalachia, it's perfect. Thank you!

I feel grateful and truly blessed to have found your channel. Thank you for sharing another day in the life of "Celebrating Appalachia". Also, thank you for the dinner ideas. I always get so hungry after watching y'all cook!

Chocolate gravy, So many folks don’t know about this and think we are crazy till they try it. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

Beautiful mountains, beautiful food, beautiful music......a beautiful life! Tfs 💞

You live a blessed life. Thanks for sharing it with us. ❤️❤️❤️

Yeah, I find myself watching homestead shows and yours just to relax and unwind. Thank you

Now I know how to tend to my iron skillet. Thanks

My Granny, Suzy Tudor was born and raised in Kentucky. She made milk gravy, and red eye gravy, but not chocolate. I think my Granny was holdin out on me! wink

So deeply moving to witness family as my mother experienced it. Myself, I grew up in a military family, but Dad tried to give us these experiences by keeping us off base and in agricultural settings.

Just love your videos. Never knew you could use cast iron pans on a glass top stove. Thought they’d get too hot and crack the stove top. I have a cast iron skillet that was given to my Grandma on the day my Mom was born in 1914. Going to have to learn how to season it as I’m sure it needs it and then start using it!

Love my old Wagner and Griswold skillets, I clean mine much the same way. Thanks for another beautiful video.

I totally agree, there is nothing stressful about these wonderful videos. The news today brings you down, this family and their videos brings life back. God bless you.

I was so blessed to stumble upon your videos…I find it truly a breath of fresh air in these tumultuous times. You are all so talented and hard working, a trait that seems almost lost in today’s world. Your girls are beautiful and so accomplished on their instruments and so down to earth looking….. what a wonderful diversion from the stressors of watching so many of our young people disparage our country. May the Lord continue to shower you all with blessings!

I didn’t have chocolate gravy but I just got through having eggs, bacon, biscuits and bacon gravy!!!! Finished it off with a biscuit and honey from the farm!!! I live on the other side of the Appalachians than you all--eastern KY.

Love watching your beautiful videos Beautiful blessings from Scotland ❤

Hi!!! Sending lots of love and health to y’all!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you for doing these videos♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🙋‍♀️❣️🐥🐣💕🥰

Thank you for showing the pan cleaning and seasoning!

Greetings from the North GA Appalachians! Love your celebration of this wonderful way of life. My kids go to the folk school camp over in Brasstown. Best wishes to you!

"Yon way" she said. She talks like I do. I don't get to hear such familiar voices much any more. I don't hear many voices at all.

From where I live, On the Cumberland Plateau? I can see those far blue mountains from the western side. I think they’re beautiful too.

We grew up with my Mom playing the piano. We took lessons and played piano, too, and my sister and I were both band kids. We sang around the piano as a family. What a blessing to grow up with the sound of music in one's home! My sister can play guitar and banjo. I always wanted to play the violin/fiddle. I absolutely loved the waltz. What joy to hear these instruments. Thanks for sharing your lives with us! What a yummy supper!!!! Thanks for showing how you season your pan! I have one for cooking in and one that is only for making cornbread. We're having pintos and cornbread tonight!❤️🙏from SC, Jane😊

I just found your channel and became a subscriber right away . I wish you would give more narration ; not everyone knows what you are doing and you have a pleasant accent !

Nothing like the FAR BLUE MOUNTAINS!!💙💙💙💙💙

Wonderful video! I appreciate the time and effort. Loved the music, cooking, and gardening. You do live in Paradise!

Getting back to the all the real simple pleasures in life vs the virtual world... what a joy!

Back in 1966 as a bride I walked to the hardware store and bought a skillet like that. I've cleaned it the way you do all these years. It's my favorite kitchen utensil.

I enjoyed all the views of your mountains, creek, and gardening in this video. As I was watching you guys cook, it dawned on me why I felt like it was my kitchen you were in - I store all my pantry staples in those same odd variety of glass jars! And the gallon jar sitting by your stove with the yellow measuring cup in it - that could have been mine, too! Several years ago, I visited a good friend from high school that had moved to Washington state on the Canadian border. We went to her local second hand store that is in an old mill that is three stories high (very fun to explore and shop in that mill!). That day, whatever you could cram into a big brown sack was only $1. I found a lot of yellow, white and tan measuring cups and spoons that look like they are from the 70s. I use those cups and spoons all the time when I cook and bake. Best investment ever! (I also filled my sack with a lot of other old kitchen wares!) Most of the time a yellow measuring cup is resting in my gallon jar that holds my flour, too, so your jar by your stove looked very familiar to me. I enjoyed the girls music as always. Tell them thank you! Also, you always seem to catch the sound of aircraft flying over when you film outside scenes. I love that sound. My parent's house is under the flight path of a very busy municipal airport, and of all the city noise from back home, I miss the sound of the airplanes most. Where I live here, the little airport isn't very busy. Thank you for another excellent video of your day! Donna. : )

Chocolate gravy is one of my favorite special treats.

This channel gives me so much peace! Thank you for sharing these moments with us!

Loved the video. That Kale looked so good. Cast iron skillets are truly family heirlooms to be passed down. Thanks for another great glimpse into your Appalachian life style. God Bless yall. :)

Such a enjoyable and calming series of videos. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless all here.

Thanks for sharing how you re-season your cast iron pan. I've always wondered how to put the oil back in to keep the pans seasoned... thanks! really enjoy your videos. fyi: I live in Hedgesville, West Virginia.

My mom and day come from Tennessee and watching you make that water gravy made me miss moms cooking. Wish I could live in North Carolina.

Thankyou! I live in Hollywood California. But my grandmother was born to coal miners in Scranton PA . I've travelled to East Tennessee and West Virginia and the Blue Ridge mountains are beautiful.

Your family sure made my day. It's rainy and breezy here in Indiana, but this warmed me right up. Thank you for sharing your lives with the rest of us.

That music ...... absolutely beautiful !!! The food ..... mouthwatering !!! Loved the video !!!

This is my favorite channel on KZfaq. I get such great pleasure out of watching it.

We spend two weeks a year in Appalachia and it’s just not enough. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

Loved the Waltz piece so much! Beautiful

Those beautiful girls look just like mommy..

Thank you Mr. Matt in showing how to clean and keep your cast iron in good shape!

Great video, as usual. I was curious about something. Wondering if you plan to do a video about - I don't know if you'd call it folklore or what, but stories or legends shared by your grandparents, etc. Good old ghost stories or bigfoot, etc. I think that kind of thing would be great listening if narrated by you with your smooth, calming voice.

youre always cooking something amazing. makes it especially hard when I'm watching these videos from my office and haven't eaten all day.

So much Appalachia packed into one video. You have carved out a life many long for.

I love you accent. Thinking of moving to WV from Charlotte next year. These vids are great.

I love it, it's real life being lived in the mountains! These quiet videos are so very soothing to my spirit!

We grew up on chocolate gravy every Sunday morning before church. Lol. Good times

Enjoyed another great video! We always look forward to your videos, loved everything about it. Y’all are definitely very blessed. GOD Bless Y’all. 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇

First minute and a half was makin' me hungry 🙂

Enjoy your videos so much. The gardening, cooking, music and beautiful scenery. Love it all! I like Wagner cast iron better than the new stuff. I think there’s something different in the texture or something. I always look at yard sales and antique shops for other pieces.

After cooking in cast iron for the last 15 years or so I can legitimately ask the question... why do other pans even exist?

I love chocolate gravy on biscuits and toast.Was really a treat for us on Saturday mornings when I was a kid.

I love your home place. I grew up in the Ozarks, Boston Mountains, I moved over 30 yrs ago. I would go back ,but my children all have made lives in my area. Cannot leave the grandlittles, but I wish we could live like ya'll.

Another great video of Celebrating Appalachia, Thanks for sharing your time and your experience in cooking, gardening,music, and the tips on caring for iron cook ware.You all inspire me,to do the same. God Bless and have a great week. 🙂🙂

Another awesome video...I sure needed the peacefulness from it today... Hope your week is going well! Brenda

You and your beautiful family have it figured out. Not enough of this in the world.

Well done girls, loved that tune. We are in Corona lockdown again for one week, here in Melbourne Australia.

Now I’m hungry 🙂 I clean my cast iron pans the same way. Thanks for sharing a part of your world ❤️

The music alongside the cooking is very relaxing.

What a beautiful place to live.

Thank you for sharing with us!

You live a blessed life. Thanks for sharing it with us. ❤️

Pretty soon we will all have to live like this again

My gracious y'all do some fine cooking and eating. Makes me hungry. What a joy to have a creek so near. I look so forward to see the things you post. Love the music too😊!!!

Like a Charming visit with you. Lovely. Music is delightful. Made me want to dance again..🌺

I just love watchin all the lovely things you do. remindsme of ol times with my great grandparents in the same neck of the woods.

I worked up there a couple years ago and y’all have some of the best folks up that way I’ve ever met.

Thank you for sharing your Appalachian life with us…I just found your site last night! Love seeing your cooking ,girls,language and beautiful land you live in…💖

Loved the music!! They are so good. Brings tears of joy to my eyes! Thank you!! Your husband seems like he’s a great cook! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️

The music, I have goosebumps! Thank you

Awesome video my family use to break out biscuits up just like that. Two of my older sisters were the only ones that made the chocolate gravy. A little flour with Coco mixed in, lol. Wow, that takes me back a few years. Sadly they are all gone now. Your video sure took me back for a few minutes. Thank you so much.

What a great vid! The special surprise for me was the chocolate gravey! I have never heard of that here in California, but it so makes sense. Super neat, my soninlaw and granddaughter would love this. I always enjoy what you film, you gardening, the music, cooking and your stream. Just a blessing, thank you. Karla in Cali.

Did a little fishing from the bank today, saw a couple bluebirds gathering for their nest, Canada geese, and swans, Sandhill cranes are too. Don’t get to close to those geese or swans you will get a scolding and maybe

That is the right technique on them pans! Nicely done ! Fun stuff thanks for posting💯👍❤️

I enjoyed this poem about November in the Appalachia, thanks for sharing it. Dennis Morgan

Thank you for another great video and for your tips on taking care of the cast iron. You all are the best!!

I love your videos

I ordered me a dutch oven the other day that's something i`ve wanted for a long long time.

Admiring your practical wholesome way of living

I think Louis L'amour wrote about the blue mountains. ... Loved the video!

I'm really looking forward to watching your evolving gardens! Your daughters are so lovely and talented.

Watching you cook always makes me hungry😁🥰

Love this! Yall should do the commentary when you cook as well

Thank you so much for sharing sharing this with us God bless you

Love all parts of these videos. One of my favorite scenes is watching ya'll cook in the iron skillets, so I really enjoyed seeing how ya'll keep them seasoned so well. The creek scenes are especially soothing!! I just found your channel last week and have been binge watching several episodes each night. Such a wonderful relaxing way to spend my evenings.

Once again great video...now im hungry..lol..loved the music by the way...rag in the bowl..with olive oil...gonna do that..

I enjoy the music so much; it is really beautiful! It's so sweet how Matt went and sat across from you on the other side of the panel when you were working on that narrow (for grapes?) bed. And then how you take care of the cast iron, I always like to see how other people do those kinds of things. I use my cast iron not very often for one main reason because the task of cleaning it seems hard to me, but you all make it look easy, and the finish looks like satin. Also, my pan is warped and does not sit flat on the glass cooktop eye that we have so I don't think it cooks very well.

Lovely and peaceful as always!

I wish I had me some of those old cast iron pans. They are just great.

I feel the same way when I see"my mountains". I'm home😊

Just found your channel, new subscriber from England.

I recently stumbled upon your channel and I really enjoy it. My family are from Kentucky and your accent sounds just like my cousin. I remember visiting them every summer when I was a kid. They lived back a holler in Bullcreek Kentucky.

Love this! Beautiful landscape. I would love to just come and “sit a spell!”
