I grew up this way-on a farm, cooking from scratch, started making my own clothing at age nine! We are capable, as children, of doing so much more than we do now! My typical childhood summertime day-feed our two pigs, do several chores for my mother, weed one row in the garden, (took two hours) help my mother with lunch, then free to play. And boy, did we play! Swam in irrigation canals with snakes, swam in our pond, rode horses, pretended to be truck drivers, in my dad’s broken down work trucks-we went on some fantastic adventures and saw incredible places!!! (In our heads, of course) At night time, my brother and I would listen to Mystery Theatre on the radio, while eating sunflower seeds, and screaming to scare each other. We didn’t have a TV. Our's broke and didn't get fixed for 14 years. i was mad then, but grateful now-it turned me into a voracious reader. YOUR CHILDREN WILL THANK YOU FOR THIS WHEN THEY HAVE CHILDREN!!!

Looks and sounds wonderful….but, mainly, RuthAnn…..you look so happy. I get the distinct feeling that YOU are a very happy young woman!

Oh my goodness, those pies looked wonderful!

Ruth Ann, you should honestly think about creating a cook book. I am 100% certain that your following would love to have your tried and true creations at “OUR” fingertips 🙏❤️ love and blessing always.

I learn so much from your teaching style. You explain the 'why'. So very important.

I am absolutely dazzled by your recipes, skill, and family. I found your channel when I was honing my sourdough bread and I couldn't stop watching video after video. What a blessing you are to your family and community. Home Cooks are all about loving those who father around their table. Thank you for allowing me to look over 😊😊❤❤your shoulder. God Bless

I grew up in Florida and we ate fruit all the time, and made desserts from fruit. My husband grew up in Minnesota hardly ever got to eat fresh fruit, he's more of a chocolate, vanilla, mint, candy and cakes kind of person. Well, I'm the cook and make fruit desserts and eat fresh fruit all the time, he has, after 25 years, finally gotten a taste for the fruits over the sweets and the like. He actually ordered Key Lime pie (my fav) over cheesecake!

God bless you and your family. I’ve been watching your videos. They are amazing. Thank you for sharing.

My daughter doesn't like cooked fruit whenever I make pies so this could be a better solution. Thank you so much for sharing. It was really cute how your sons wanted to help you make them.

You are a born teacher! God bless you for your wisdom as a mother. You are just awesome!!!

[jackieburnett]

Those kids are so cute! You’re a great mom!! Teaching them while they are young. That’s kind of gone to the wayside these days! Those pies look delicious and made my mouth water! Lol! Ty for sharing your skills, tips and tricks!!!

[katescaringcorner]

I love seeing the kids enjoy making their pies with such confidence! So good for their self esteem! ❤

[bonniebartlow]

I was introduced to fresh strawberry pie when I was about a freshman in high school, and it was and still is made like you do your fresh fruit pies. Thank you for showing me just how I can make a delicious great fruit pie.God is good, He really is. We see just how good through people like you, just sharing normal things that happened to you when you were at home. Thank you again. We love your aprons!!

[DebWHNP]

I am so grateful that you show what to do when things are not perfect! I love pie, but didn't make them because I struggle to make a perfect pie crust! Leaving it a bit more wet and adding flour as you roll it makes so much sense! Your practicality in cooking, canning and baking is reducing my anxiety over these skills! Thank you!

[geraldinelucas]

I make a pie for my hubby's coffee group (he is deceased) every week and join them at a McDonalds where they have coffee the oldest being 90 and I think the youngest is 78. Some have lost their wives or they are in assisted living situations. Ordered the Clear Gel think they are going to love this.

Your older son peeping under the stove hood is precious!! I love your family.
