Enjoyed video so much. I’m the same way about the kitchen being in order before I “dig in”. I do the same kind of shake, sometime use Pure Protein chocolate.
I make a smoothie every morning. Mine consists of powdered bone broth or plain gelatin, powdered turkey tail mushroom, powdered rieshie mushroom, lions mane mushroom , cardamom for taste, turmeric, black pepper, saw palmetto, soaked pumpkin seeds, clabbered milk (yogurt would work). I used to put in freeze dried kale but it made my joints hurt so I don’t use it anymore. Happy breakfast journey!
Making me want to make tater cakes!
Miss Tipper,…..your peppers are just beautiful!!!……if a person had the room,…they would be so pretty as decorations,…..just beautiful color…..
Those tater cakes,look delicious……I love watching your channel,….so encouraging….you are a tremendous blessing….thank you!!!
Those pepper jars are beautiful!
❤
Warm chicken broth in making mashed potatoes instead of milk is an excellent dairy substitute. You still have the butter as a dairy, but it at least cuts back on the dairy.
Making salmon patties by scooping them into the hot pan instead of making them into patties first also makes frying them easier.
I have put cheese, and crumbled bacon or any kind of breakfast meat in my tater cakes also. Almost makes them a meal in them self. I've even put sour cream on them.
I’m a “tart” lover; I love a smoothie made with fresh spinach and chopped mango. I usually buy the frozen mango chunks or those in a jar. I call it my “green drink”.
Maybe try Avocado toast first breakfast?
Hope you have an Attic Fan to hold you over until the Air conditioning unit gets replaced. Attic Fans are well worth the money . They save you money when the air is nice outside.

When I watched Matt make those peppers the other day with no gloves on and just rip-snortin' the seeds out with bare hands, I was lamenting what he was doing waaaay before he knew what was comin'!! Poor Matt! Live and learn. I did the same thing waaaay back at least 25 years ago. It was horrific pain all night and into the next day, for sure. 🤣
❤Beautiful presentation.
Get a Mr Cool!! They are cheaper!! And hooks up right to your duck work. We love ares. My husband was able to do it himself
Man, we are lucky if our AC lasts 12 years. We are on our 3rd in 31 years! Enjoyed the video ❤❤
thanks for the pickled pepper video! my problem with not water bathing isn’t that i’m worried about it, but i want longer storage since being single it takes me forever to use it all up and i have very (very) limited frig space. here in florida, my house is around 80° inside until christmas, so i’m doing my 18 tri-color bell peppers according to your instructions in a gallon kimchi crock, then when it’s done fermenting i plan to transfer them to pints, keep one out, refrigerate one, and waterbath the rest. you do lose the probiotic benefits when you heat it up, but that’s better than losing the whole batch! let me know if my thinking is unsound, tho and thanks again for the vid.
I read that you and other bloggers ask for feedback because you benefit from all comments. Could you explain this please ?
hi tipper. i love your videos and i learn so much from you even though i'm later on in years than you . thank you for making it easy to understand. do you ever sterilize your jars in the oven? if so how long and what temp?
Those peppers look delicious. Glad to be in the kitchen with you today
Tipper, the peppers looked lovely and I am sure they were delicious!
I used to be a caregiver for a precious couple. The man was a veteran of the Korean War. He told me the best tater cakes he ever had was made 😮with onions and cheese in them. I worked and worked till I finally got them right. They were so good.
Hey there Tipper, Thanks for sharing – the peppers do look like Halloween 🎃! I will be coming over to your house to eat! Wish I could! You cook just like my Momma did. ❤ & Prayers
Love your videos.
The peppers are very pretty🙏🏻🙏🏻🫂❤️
Ma I guess Katie must have got Matt's candy❤😂
It’s true about the spider webs helping to stop bleeding.
I love tater cakes…been eating them all of my life. But I always cook my onion a little bit first. Not a huge fan of raw onion except on a burger. But I really like a little sage in my tater cakes too. YUM!
Beautiful, Beautiful peppers!!
Thank you Tipper. I've been preparing food a long time. I never knew the difference pickled vs fermented. Old dog new tricks! ❤😊
I thought the glaass "weights" looked like floral frogs. I use a large one for my pens & pencils.
I am loving watching the pepper canning!what a beautiful jar of peppers, I would love just leaving them setting on the counter to decorate my kitchen…one time I had to sleep with my hands in ice water after working in hot peppers…boy did I ever learn not to do that any more!
We love potato cakes! We love potato cakes with pork chops and pickled core and corn bread!
Thanks for sharing. Keep the videos coming.
Your calm easy going way is always so relaxing to watch. That is a lot of peppers. I hadn’t thought about it in years, but your potato cakes reminded me of my parents making “potato pancakes.” No idea what their recipe was but I’m feeling they used grated potatoes as my mom never really made mashed potatoes. I feel the pain on the AC stress. My 20+ year old car’s AC is actually currently being repaired at the mechanic—and it’s not cheap. I’m not really in a position to get a new car. In the 1980’s while in high school our apartment home, though newer, didn’t even have AC. This was in Northern Arizona but it got hot enough sometimes during the summer!
Hi, Tipper. I watched this video for the fermented pickle recipe, but when I saw you reposted Granny’s potato cake video I HAD to go watch it again. She is so very precious to all of us. And I got another laugh when she was so very concerned about putting the Longhorn Steakhouse recipe out there. Like they were going to come arrest her or something. 🥰 much love and prayers for Granny.
Strange how I feel better not eating breakfast, so I’ll usually pass on it, unless I’m traveling.
When I was a kid, Mom rarely, if ever, made potato cakes. I knew lots of other families had them frequently, and when I asked why we didn't, she said when they were newly married, Dad had asked her to never make them because they were such a staple when he was growing up, he'd gotten so sick of them that he never wanted to eat one again. He traveled fairly often for his job, and I think she did make them for us a few times when he was away. After 50 or so years of being married, she decided to make some instead of throwing out leftover mashed potatoes yet again. Dad devoured them, said they were delicious, and asked her why on earth she hadn't always made them. She reminded him of his request when they were newlyweds, and he said he couldn't remember eating them growing up. What made it funnier was Dad's decades-long battle with raccoons raiding our garbage cans. Mom would wrap leftover potatoes and other scraps in layers of newspapers, which would be buried deep in trash bags and then in trash cans. Dad would pile heavy rocks on the lids, but could never thwart those pesky raccoons from their feasts. He would set a cage-trap to catch them and then drive them far out into the country to release them. For every one he'd catch/release, three more would show up. If he hadn't been adverse to eating potato cakes and other leftovers, the raccoons wouldn't have had such a banquet to dig for, and he would have saved himself from years of futile battles with the wily, messy little bandits.
Have you studied the evils of sugar (fructose, sucrose, glucose, lactose, etc.) and carbohydrates in general? The issues of diabetes, liver disease, arthritis, and allergy is major. My friend in West Tennesse, Dr. Ken Berry he a chest benefits of carnivore diet on You Tube.
I am mix diet. 2.5 years ago I was dying and in horrible pain at 290 lbs. I threw away my many pills. Began to starve myself. Then I watched dozens of diet videos. All the commentors spoke of Dr. Berry, carnivore, and related topics. I began to experiment. Then I went to an 8-12 oz steak, 4 eggs and bacon and water. After 3 months I began to add items. I am now healthy, 225 lbs, no pain, and no arthritis or diabetes, or fatty liver. Doctors hate me and what I've done to my self. Mean while, the medical society is under total revolution.
Please consider the following. The heat part of your unit will at some point be very important. Consider now Matt is a very healthy man , but years, just like on your AC UNIT takes a toll on your body. Splitting and stacking, hauling in wood year after year will eventually become difficult. So when picking out a unit don’t down play the heating side of your unit. I say this cause my wife and I did because we heated primarily with a wood stove. My back finally said UNCLE to the lumber jack life!! Just a suggestion! But as Tipper always says “ It’s personal preference “ I love your channel! Greetings from GULF SHORES ALABAMA

First time I grew jalapeño peppers . I made the mistake of not using gloves. That’s a lesson you learn real quick. My hands burned so bad. I lost sleep 😂. This was way before internet. So lesson learned. I always wear gloves when handling hot peppers. That bowl is full of beautiful peppers! Our ac lasted 26 years but was nickel and dime us. We went ahead and replaced heating and cooling system and this new unit was keeping us so cool this summer. We should have done it years ago. And our house is all electric. But we only had a 30$ increase on our bill. So we are happy about that. My husband is a retired union carpenter,so he can’t stand to be hot.He helped build all the commercial properties downtown Kansas City, Missouri and over in Kansas to Champagne, Illinois.
That was a nice video, and I hope the air conditioner is working now. Your food always looks so delicious!
I put shredded cheese and fresh jalapeños in mine.
Delicious
What an absolute pleasure to spend time watching you in your beautiful kitchen. I am so very grateful that my Daddy came out of Mississippi. At least part of me got the blessing of the South 😊 Your videos calm me down and bring such joy. Just turned 79 and love celebrating your wonderful channel ❤
My mom made the best tater cakes! I never have made them like she did… they were even good cold 😊
Enjoyed every minute 🤗❤️
Beautiful peppers 🌶️ Sorry to hear about your AC unit. hours was 30 years old last summer. We had to finally replace it. We babied it for like the last seven years we knew that day was coming. Our new one is so very nice though. ♥️🫶♥️
Tipper, your videos are so informative and enjoyable!😊
But I must add, that I reallly miss that your family never says thanks/grace to God for the wonderful produce and meals that you grow and cook!
Surely that is also a crucial part of Appalachian culture?
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
