Tonight we are having quartered whole chicken, sweet potato surprise and leftovers! Never underestimate the amount of chicken that comes from a whole chicken. In my opinion it is the most frugal way to go! My sweet potato delight and/or surprise, whatever we want to call it, is so delicious and I do hope you all try it!

Meagan ~ I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate yalls channel. This channel is the only thing that brings me happiness as I just lost my mother to cancer. I spent the month of December talking care of her and she passed on January 6th. My sweet daughter in love has been fighting stage 4 ovarian cancer. The doctors just told her they've done all they can do. Because while she was having the most aggressive chemo the cancer still spread to her kidneys and liver. 😢 And to top it off... my husband of 13 years abandoned me back in July. God is faithful and has been beside me thru allllll of this but the only channel that has sparked joy and the desire to continue is the lifestyle I love.. the lifestyle yall live as well. Thank you. And God Bless

I'm a fly by the seat of your pants type cook. Meaning I rarely cook a dish the same way twice. Now that I'm disabled and can't stand for long periods I'm finding it hard to explain to my husband exact seasonings and amounts to use. We have devised our own methods for cooking meals, I peel and prepare produce he washes it for cooking. Meat prep is the problem but I'm glad for his help and things usually turn out great

Heya Meagan, just know that your type of cooking is my type of cooking. Fresh veg from the garden, chickens for eggs and sadly, meat/ chicken from the butcher shop. But all good cause we only have a very small (645sqm) section in town. It makes me so proud that I’m able to grow enough vegetables and fruit to feed us with some put up for winter. Blessings to you all.

When i eat sweet potatoes, since they are already so sweet, i just “bake” then in the microwave and eat then plain. they taste so good they dont need anything else. My parents love to eat baked sweet potato with some butter and cinnamon…so I think they would love your recipe. Ill have to surprise them and make it for them the next time i stay with them for the week (my siblings and i take turns staying a week at a time with them to take care of them so they can stay at home instead of a nursing home. Ill be their favorite daughter for at least the day, if i make this for them. 😊😊

OMGosh, mom made the EXACT same dish except because we had lots of banana trees, she'd cut up bananas inside. It's a small world. We had it for dessert and she'd lightly drizzle icing on top. Cooked more brown, though, not doughy.

This was so good to hear how you raise your chickens and quarter up the whole chicken. I have always bought whole chickens too and cut them like you do! Leftovers are always good the next day! Love to hear your advice and experience too. But your sweet potato delight looks amazing!! Thanks for taking us along to feed all your animals! You’re pretty strong to carry that bag of feed with one arm on your hip👍Nice to see you and Andy load up the plates , makes me feel at home with you all.

Take some scissors and cut along the bottom of the rib cages then bend the back up and it will break at the pulley bone. I use a pair of side cut pliers to cut through the pulley bone for ease. I’m guessing you make chicken stock from the backs and wing tips?

Hatcheries are trained to be able to tell when they are day old chicks, I’ve tried but I’m not that great at it lol you can usually tell when they are about a month or so old roosters feathers look different than hens, they also have larger combs on their heads but I’ve been fooled by that too

I am fixing to retire from a factory job and move from suburbia USA and get some land, and would like to raise chickens for eggs and meat. Maybe a couple of cows and a pig. My question is, when you get your homegrown meat to the table, how do you not get around the thought of eating Gertrude the chicken, or Wendy the cow, or Bar-b the pig? I mean, how do you raise them un-objectively so you can slaughter ant eat them?

@TrueGritAppalachianWays 4 ай бұрын

Honestly, it’s never a day we look forward too, I don’t name the animals that will be food, I can’t or I will be attached, I make sure they all get the best care possible, but I don’t spend time with them taming them like I do my other animals. I just have to know in my mind when they step foot here what their purpose is and mentally prepare myself. I have piece of mind knowing they weren’t raised on a factory farm and that they lived a happy life minus one bad second when we dispatch. I hope this helps ❤️
