Recipes included in this video:
Fluffy Pancakes:
Makes 3 pancakes
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Separate the egg whites and egg yolks into separate mixing bowls.
Into the egg yolks, add the milk, vanilla, and whisk briefly until combined. Then, sift in the flour and baking powder. Whisk until smooth and no more dry flour is visible. Set aside until needed.
Into the egg whites, add the lemon juice. beat on medium speed until completely frothy. Then, gradually add the sugar a little at a time.
Once all the sugar has been added, increase the speed to medium high and beat the egg white until it reaches stiff peak.
Add ⅓ of the stiff peak meringue into the egg yolk batter. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the meringue into the batter until evenly combined and no more streaks are visible.
Add the remaining meringue to the batter and gently fold until combined and no more streaks are visible. DO NOT over mix or the batter or the meringue will deflate and the batter will become too loose.
Heat a large nonstick pan over low heat and lightly grease the pan with oil. Make sure to wipe away excess oil.
Portion the batter into the pan to make 2 to 3 pancakes
Cover the pan with a lid and let the pancakes cook for about 7 to 8 minutes, until the bottom side is golden brown. Gently flip the pancakes and recover the lid. Let the pancakes cook for another 5 to 6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately.

Hi Connie! This blessed me so much, thank you for joining me here ☺️ Have a lovely weekend 🤍

Love the wallpaper and this channel. As a 75 year old mom. Mamaw and great Mamaw I am learning so much from you. Thank you so much for sharing …. You are serving the Lord everyday. Blessings to you and your precious family ❤
I agree with you on being close to the Lord in the garden. Our garden is small but very productive and I feel so peaceful there. Lovely video!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and commenting 🤍 enjoy your garden this year ☺️
Wow. That brightens it up so much. Looks fantastic!
What a great day- I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel! I love finding other families that share stuff like this too! What a blessing to get to serve the Lord in such an impactful way from our homes! 🥰 XO
Hi. You remind me of my younger self. At age 29 I decided to wallpaper the ceiling of my kitchen. It was going to be so charming…but it turned out to be more than I could manage. Even with a friend helping. So hats off to you for this beautiful wall you papered. A lovely calm print and you did a super job. I’m proud of you! 💓
Oh my! I can’t imagine wallpapering a ceiling! That stresses me out just thinking about it 😂
Thank you so much ☺️ while the experience wasn’t very calm, the outcome is and I’m loving it!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 🤍
This is soo refreshing to hear that gardening brings you closer to God. I feel this too❤
I'm five minutes, fifty-eight seconds in and admire your lifestyle; beautiful, productive, organized and self-sufficient. Also, the background music is lovely and compliments your voice as you explain the process of your daily tasks 😊 You've got me, I have subscribed 😄
Don't get to discouraged. The wall looks really nice!
Thank you for joining me for a late brunch on a rainy, slow moving day. I’m starting seeds every week since January and today will be more herbs. But I’m also making various recipes to use up the abundance of eggs. It might be daily chores, but I prayed for this home, family and well paying job. I work 40 hours a week outside my home, my children are adults, my husband works even more hours, but when we get home it’s all about living some people’s dreams as our reality. Enjoy each day God’s given you and share the love - Thank you for sharing! ❤
Hi Samantha! Amen! I've prayed for this lifestyle my whole life and I'm still in disbelief that I get to live it somedays. I'm very grateful for my husband who works so hard so I can stay home and sees the value in living this way. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Blessing to you and yours. :)
You can also mostly hang dry towels/jeans to about 75% and then dry them for a shorter cycle about 10-15 minutes to soften them up ❤
Absolutely! This is what I typically do unless I’m pressed for time. Definitely does the trick ☺️
Once again I’m in awe of what you accomplished in your day. Seeing the joy of the children with their shovels outside warmed my heart. And the, “it’s so cute” worm comment made me giggle. I think back to when my children were little and how much time we spent outside too.
I’m going to make the soup and the chicken recipe. Thank you for sharing those meal ideas.
You’ve been on my mind with the tragic train derailment. I pray you aren’t near that area.
The wallpaper is so pretty and in my opinion, even as a tired momma you did a great job!
Hey friend! Oh thank you for thinking of us, you are so kind. We are quite a ways from the incident, thankfully 🙏🏻.
LOL, the worms. Thats my Eleanor, lover of creepy crawlers and critters. She adores nature and getting dirty.... while wearing dresses 😂
I am very pleased with the wallpaper, but next time, I’ll make a better choice of when to complete projects 🤣
I hope you enjoy the recipes! Have a blessed weekend 🤍
Oh that wall paper!! It's perfect!! Well done!!
Thank you ☺️ I’m delighted with it!
All of the recipes I've tried from your channel have been a huge success! Thank you so much for sharing & encouraging me!!!
Yay! That makes me so happy, thank you ❤️
What a beautiful video/DITL. You have a gift...from the filming, editing, choosing music...all of it. No wonder your channel is growing!! Keep it up kelsey!
Thank you so much friend! I really enjoy doing this, I’m so grateful it is doing well, all glory to God. Have a lovely weekend 🤍
What a lovely day indeed! ❤
🤍🤍🤍
Really enjoyed this video. I also have a space I want to work on little by little. Just really busy working on the outside. I also loved that little sprayer. Definitely getting it. Thanks for sharing.
Just found your channel and subscribed. I call my garden the TYJ garden (thank you Jesus). Love your wallpaper. Nice job.
I love it! Thank you ☺️ ❤️
Love the wallpaper, I enjoyed the video too, your children are adorable.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Hi! I tried your soup recipe replacing the heavy cream with 2 cups of half and half and the kale with spinach based on what I had on hand and it came out amazingly! Thank you!
The wallpaper looks great! Nice job mama!
Thank you ☺️ I really do love it!
The secret to drying laundry on rack and not getting wrinkled clothes or crunchy...you put all the clothes in dryer for 2-3 minutes then take out and hang them.
Oh thank you! I’m going to try that!
Oh I so wish I had the freezer you have to freeze dry food. Those bananas look awesome. You got a great deal on those. 😊❤
Love the wallpaper! You did an excellent job! You really had a busy day. The chicken looked delicious
Thanks so much Jackie! It was a good day ☺️
My favorite video so far
Ah thank you! I appreciate that so much ☺️ Have blessed weekend, Deb!
Just found your channel and subscribed. You first had me when you spoke of the Lord and the wallpaper(which I fell in love with on Lisa’s stairway) solidified my desire to want to follow you. You did a wonderful job of getting this hung in spite of the “challenges” you had. Blessings.
Welcome and thank you! Blessings to you as well
That’s my favorite soup too!!!! Getting ready to make some this weekend!!!
It’s a good one! ❤️
Yes, day in the life videos are great! Thank you for sharing your cooking, it’s inspiring 🥰! The wallpaper looks beautiful!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback, have a blessed week 🤍☺️
The wallpaper is so beautiful!!! Great job!
Thank you!! 😊
I love your channel and subscribed! Well done o your wallpaper. It made yout living room so much cozier.
Thanks so much! 😊
"The house may be wee,
But the welcome is BIG".
LOVE that. 💖
Me too! My mama and I found that while antiquing and it just so happened to be my birthday and she bought it for me ♥
Just discovered your channel and I really enjoy it. Love the cottage decor style you are going with!😊
Thanks so much! 😊
How precious 😍 Those early days are just so precious!!!! This Grandma was truly blessed by your Day... I'm subscribed, now! Great stumble for me
Aw Eva thank you! I’m so glad it was a blessing to you. Thank you for joining me here! Have a lovely weekend 🤍
yes to a day in the life and house projects. It is always fun to see what you are doing. I will try your recipes too.
Thank you for the feedback Susan, I appreciate it 🤍 Enjoy and have a lovely weekend! ☺️
I love this video but as a Latin woman, the amount of rice per plate for dinner almost made me shed a tear haha. The video is so relaxing and I loved how you included gardening was your time to speak to God
If you hang your items out to dry at night, the dew in the morning helps to soften your towels and jeans :)
Ohhhh I’ll have to try that! Thanks ❤️
Love the wallpaper!!!
Thank you ☺️ 🤍
I just got inspired by Elliot homestead kitchen wallpaper and I purchased it I am going to do one side of my kitchen and hang my copper pots on a copper hanger. The wallpaper still nicely sitting on a chair wrapped up waiting for me to stick on that wall one of these days until then I like to imagine how pretty will look when it is done with. 😊
Oh I love her style 😍 I also love copper, I’m keeping my eyes open for pieces whenever we go antiquing! Sounds lovely, have fun with it and enjoy ❤️
@@seedandsparrowhomestead thanks Good morning to you!!
I love the wallpaper! It was beautiful in Lisa’s home too. Have you considered doing the entire room? I think it would be so lovely!
Thank you! I did consider it but I was afraid it would be too busy in our small home ☺️
Loved this video!
I'm so glad, thank you!
OOH! I LOVE THAT WALLPAPER!
Me too! Thank you ☺️ 🤍
Um…wallpapering a whole wall by yourself with 2 small children around and living to tell the tale makes you a superhero👏👏👏
Hahaha! It definitely was no small task 😂 thanks for watching ❤️
I’ve been loving your recipes! Thanks for sharing. ❤
Glad you like them! Enjoy! Have a lovely weekend 🤍
The paper is so beautiful ❤️
Thank you, Cindy!
I'm new to your channel so you and your children you're not married if not you are a good mom Iove to see young women taking care of there home and children
I loved the wallpaper and the stuff you made. Such a sweet family you have.
Thank you so much!☺️
I really love how the wallpapering turned out. A very nice look, fresh, would almost say a different room now.
Thanks so much! 😊
Whoa, I have to take a nap just watching you, 😂, you're very organized. What a blessing and I love that your kids love nature as well. Have a blessed day.
I definitely welcome sleep at the end of the day 😂 thank you for watching! Have a blessed weekend 🤍
Loved this video and all three meals looked so delicious!
Thank you, Deanna! 🤍
Wow!! 😊that wall paper brightened up your space so much! It’s really pretty! 😊
Thank you! It really did transform the space 🤍
The fluffy pancakes look amazing! Since you mostly hang-dry your clothes, if you have a Dollar Tree in your area, right now they are carrying curtain rod hangers (or use for lamp hangers, etc.), and you can mount them on a spare run of wall space, put a wood rod, an old broom handle, or even a thick tree branch, in the rod loops, and boom, you instantly have a nice size space to hang dry clothes on hangers - total cost $2.50.
You can dry your jeans and towel on the line and then just put them in the dryer to soften them for about ten minutes
I too stumbled across your channel and I'm so grateful I did. Your videos are very good for my anxious heart. I would love to see many more "Days in the life" and any home projects you are doing. Love from South Africa x
Erika, I’m so glad your here! Thank you for the feedback, watching and commenting! Blessings from Pennsylvania 🤍
Gorgeous!! Really enjoyed every aspect of this DITL.
I appreciate that so much, thank you! ☺️🤍
Lovely Bible verse ❤
Thank you ☺️ it is a favorite of mine 🤍
Great job on the room!
Thank you! ☺️
Great job on the wallpaper. I'm no expert but I've done a couple spaces. My first was the back wall of my laundry room in a black and white pattern. I couldn't get the washer and dryer out of the room so I just moved them and worked around. Yes, the process can be overwhelming but you did a great job!
Thank you! I’m gearing up to do another space 😬😂 we shall see how this one goes!
great video, loved those pancakes.
Thank you 🤍☺️
I am a mama of two about the same age! My husband and I have a homestead too on not that much land. I've recently been in the same boat as you where I don't know if we will be in this home forever, but I might as well make it look lovely while we are here! Your video was so inspirational to me and your filming and editing is so beautiful. Thank you for the inspo!! Also we even have the same plates and bowl set from target hahaha
Hi Miranda! So sorry for the delay, I got swamped with comments and couldn’t keep up! Welcome and thank you! How funny! I know quite a few people who have the same set 😂 blessings to you and yours ❤️
Wonderful. Really like the 'Day in the life' video's.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching 🤍
Just beautiful!! Everything! You are so brave to try wallpaper and it turned out amazing. I'm not so brave. It takes me years to decide on a paint color 🤣
Hahaha, it takes me forever to decide on anything because I like so many things! The wallpaper was chosen after about 3 months of debating with myself 😂
Thank you so much! Have a blessed weekend with your family 🤍
Wow your video is wonderful so cozy aesthetic 💆🏻♀️🪵
Thank you ☺️ I’m so glad you enjoyed 🤍
I just found your channel and enjoyed it. It’s so nice to see some younger folks taking on this lifestyle. Cheers ❄️🇨🇦❄️
Hi Lyn, I know you’ve been around for a while now but here is your official “welcome” I’m so glad you’re here ❤️
@@seedandsparrowhomestead aww thanks so much
Wow, that wallpaper looks amazing 😍
Thank you! I’m so pleased with it!
The wallpaper is perfect ❤
Thank you! 🤍
If you want softer clothes, ironing after drying will take away the crunch. This is why people used to iron literally everything.... even undergarments. To simply make them softer.
That makes sense! I’ll keep that in mind, right now the dryer is convenient and saves me some time. It’s a luxury for sure 😂
I dry all of our clothes inside in the winter. If jeans and towels get crunchy I just put them in the tumble drier for 10 minutes with an ice cube and they come out nice and soft 🙂
@@macp4108 Oh perfect! Never thought to add an ice cube! Thank you :)
I'm going to try those pancakes! I think I have all the spices for that curry mixture for the chicken. Never eaten curry, so I'll be walking on the wild side!
I hope you love them! Enjoy and thanks for watching! 🤍☺️
Your danish dough whisk link goes to the egg storage ♥️
All fixed, thank you!
With those pepper plants, you did them correctly lol, same way my dad does his. Just grind them up now and store in mylar bags or vacuum seal the powder in jars for later! I love the soup idea! I would make it but I started carnivore this week and nobody will eat the kale (guess I'll have to leave that out, lol) can't really sneak the green stuff in 😂 sweet bebes!!! Ain't they precious.
💋❤️ Kacy
Tip: when wallpapering, put the glue on the paper first, then fold the bottom half of the paper over on itself leaving about a foot of the back exposed on the end that goes against the ceiling or top. This will help you get it started easily and not having to worry about the glue down the wall or paper getting stuck to everything. You can pull the paper down on the backside exposing more glue and press it to the wall as you work your way down. 😁
I can't wait to get our freeze dryer! It's on layaway right now. I have bananas frozen in bags right now, awaiting the dryer lol
Love you Kelsey!!! Thanks for sharing all the things homey
Hey friend! Thing is I already have a half gallon jar of ground up peppers 😂 I think that may be enough for our lifetime LOL. I may see if anyone else wants them!
Ohhh carnivore, I’ve been researching doing that for myself! I hope it goes well for you!
Thank you ☺️ those babies are so precious to me 🤍
Oh man that is a great tip! I’ll remember that next time, what a change that will make! Thank you!!!
Yay for freeze dryers! You’ll love it 🤍
@@seedandsparrowhomestead my legs are getting restless, trying to see if I need electrolytes....🤷🏼♀️
The food is really great! I'm loving the challenge of "what else can I eat besides hamburger patties and chicken breasts 😂 I have a ton more energy though and my stomach is flattening! I've hit losing 20lbs on my diabetic medicine and my labs are now back to normal! Woohoo! Just wanting to try carnivore for 90 days and see how it goes before the garden starts coming in.
@@BootsandBountyHomestead Well that's fantastic! Do you follow anyone who has done it? I'm trying to research "meals" before I dive in. I've had so many health issues over the last 5 years and I'm thinking this may help get my body back on track.
@@seedandsparrowhomestead there's a lot of CZcamsrs that do it that I watch. I've noticed they show little bits and pieces of what they eat because the videos they do are more about the "normal meals" lol. I just Pinterest most of it. After a couple of days of looking thru some stuff, I had the hang of starting it. It's not much different than what me and you would normally fix, just have to take out our portion of the meal before adding the stuff we can't have. It's really been easy. There's soany things I want to try making myself and convert it to carnivore. There is prep in making sure you have what you need to eat available if you fix something for others that you can't have. I usually fix double the amt for me so I can just have it the next couple of days or when there's something I fix the family that I can't have. It's really been neat though, thinking of all the ideas other than hamburger patties, chicken breast, and steak 😂 I've actually only eaten one hamburger patty this week lol. I've really been creative and it's been fun!
What a cute colorful eggs 🥺🌱
Aren’t they lovely? They always make me smile 😊
@@seedandsparrowhomestead they made me smile too 😊, soo lovely
@@nadiasdays702 yay!
Put the TV above the fire place it would look great
We had thought about it but that wall is actually hollow with no supports so unfortunately it wouldn’t hold the weight of it!
This chicken looks Great my husband wants to eat a meatitrainean diet like Jesus did this looks like it I'm going to try it
Hi Kelsey,
you showed ur onions what variety are you growing. it looks the are seeds vs starts? Also where do u get the compost u use to top off ur raised beds. do u make it all yourself or do u buy bagged from the box stores ?
Hey Sue!
Sorry for the delay, I needed more than a minute to type all this out.
So I'm growing a few varieties...Early Texas Grano, Southport White Globe, Cipollini and Red of Florence.
I choose to start them from seed because I get bigger onions and it saves a bunch of money. I can get 200 seeds for $2. Onions are a biennial, meaning their life spans over 2 growing seasons. The first year they grow and develop their bulb and if left in the ground the second year they flower. Onion sets are actually onions in their second year. They are harvested young and then put into dormancy before being sold. When planting a set they will most likely flower before getting to a nice size because they think they need to flower( at least this is what I've found to be true growing them myself) so I switched to starting from seed, multi sown in one container, separate before planting and plant out my starts in April.
For compost I do make some of my own with a worm farm but the bulk of what I use is Mushroom Soil from a local business here in our town.
Hope this helps! :)
@@seedandsparrowhomestead so ur starting them indoors not direct sowing them?
Could you take the dried peppers off the plants and grind them into pepper flake?
I sure could! I’m going to see if anyone local wants them. I already have a half gallon jar full of crushed dried peppers and at the rate I use them they will last my lifetime 😂
@@seedandsparrowhomestead I have tons of dried Jalapenos LOL I feel your pain 😅
You can still use dried cayenne peppers.
I have a whole 1/2 gallon jar already 😂
Basic foods Farms seeds organic more better..Hope all 🌏 to learn to safe Agriculture lands in overheated Earth.Thanks
Where did you find the wallpaper?
Hi! The only retailer I could find in the US was Scandinavian wallpaper, they are based out of Florida ☺️
Any way to print the recipes? I can't seem to copy, paste
I'm so sorry! I don't have any other way to access them for printing. I hope one day to create a blog and have printable recipes, however that is not something I am able to take on right now.
There is something very quieting about your videos! Thanks
