Thanks for sharing your menu for the week. I also watched a video of yours with some books that I definitely need to read. One of my dear friends had the uterine ablation(Sp). She did it in her doctor's office and it was way more than what she expected. You may have already gone through it but if you do not recover as quickly as the doctors state, do not think you are the only one. Took her a couple of weeks to fully recover. Hope all goes well and thanks again.

I don't mind the noise. Makes me feel right at home. I hope your procedure goes good and you are back to your self quickly. I have had that procedure. They did mine in office and give me some " I dont care" medicine lol. I had made a pot of chicken and dumplings and a dessert for my family to eat on while I recovered that evening. The doctor said I talked the whole time about what I cooked. I didn't remember a thing when it was over. I still laugh about it.:)

I had an ablation and tubal ligation done about five years ago, and it's been great. I feel like I have my life back now- it solved my excessively heavy bleeding and I'm not anemic any more. The procedure itself was no big deal (I had general anesthesia), and recovery was about a day and a half to two days for me. I hope it works out as well for you as it did for me!

Deb Phalen commented on 09 Feb 2016

noises and all.....i think that's why most of us come to visit your channel. real life and of course the food looks good too :-) ive tried many a recipe because of your videos so filming as many as you feel like would be great! will be thinking healing thoughts for you for your procedure. deb :-)

Raylynn Reed commented on 08 Feb 2016

Yay! so many videos uploaded today. Love your meal planning videos. I'm trying so hard to do this. Good luck with your surgery. I remember feeling that way with my tubal. That is a basic procedure. But I had never had surgery until then. My first, and scary. Lol Prayers said for you! :)

Trayceg commented on 08 Feb 2016

I had the Endometrial ablation done about 10 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did...it ended years and years of suffering and problems...the recovery was fine...being sick after from being put to sleep was harder lol ...Good luck and I wish you a quick recovery xox

Penny Grant commented on 08 Feb 2016

Take care of yourself :) but always look forward to your vlogs. sometime I would like to see that chicken fried rice recipe and more about your pressure cooker. I have considered buying one, but not sure which one to get. best of luck & quick healing on your surgery Friday.

Cheryl DeGroote commented on 11 Feb 2016

Love the noises of your wonderful, warm home! I had ablation done and it was worth it in the long run, but I will be honest it was rough those first few days! Glad to hear you are going to be having it done at the hospital. Warm wishes for a quick recovery!

jennram1 commented on 09 Feb 2016

I never noticed the noise on your videos. if people have a problem with the noise, then they can take a hike :) can you do a video on cleaning/caring for cast iron? I made fried rice today and my son said the rice had a nasty odor. help!!

Number #1 Priority: YOU! Do what you can and leave the rest. It will be there when you feel better. Love the family and all the chaos...bring it on! I know Matt will be there for you...he loves you so much. Will be praying for you.

Fertile Wisdom commented on 13 Feb 2016

And OMG, the editing i sometimes 'feel' i have to do on my videos due to the 7-kiddlet noise! I love hearing other people's family noise, because it teaches me to relax into the beautiful chaos of my own large family :-)

Verna Holladay commented on 09 Feb 2016

As a Mom who's kids are grown and the only time I hear kiddos is when my grand kids come over, bring on the kiddos noise, hustle & bustle. It's real life. Good luck on Friday, I'll keep you in my prayers.

BrewThirty commented on 19 Apr 2016

Heather, I have a meat grinder attachment for my KitchenAid mixer, have you considered that? I will never go back to buying store bought ground meat on a regular basis. When you grind it your self you can control the fat content...In my case I buy by beef to grind at Kroger on manager special, and trim as much fat as I can off of it, then I use bacon and grind it with the beef to achieve my desired fat content!

The Kneady Homesteader commented on 20 Apr 2016

+BrewThirty I DO HAVE ONE! I have only used it for chicken tho! hahaha Im not very good at using it......so intimidation is a factor. Do you have a video on how you use yours? LOL! TEACH ME!!!! hahahaha

Cheryl Sigler commented on 19 Apr 2016

The Kneady Homesteader commented on 19 Apr 2016

Gwen Medley commented on 19 Apr 2016

Good Morning, I heard you mention cold salads and was wondering if you have a standard potato salad and macaroni salad recipe that you use? I would love to see a video on those. I tend to just throwing this and that in and they never taste the same :)

Gwen Medley commented on 19 Apr 2016

+QueenVelveeta thanks a bunch. I will definitely check it out.

Gwen Medley commented on 19 Apr 2016

+The Kneady Homesteader I understand the emotions tied to cooking and baking, memories are made in the kitchen with friends and family. I had an apron monogrammed for my daughter and I to wear as we share time in the kitchen it says instead of making "Baking Memories".

QueenVelveeta commented on 19 Apr 2016

+Gwen Medley Hi. I will say Pioneer Woman has a fantastic macaroni salad recipe.

The Kneady Homesteader commented on 19 Apr 2016

never made mac salad but i have made potato. my mom ALWAYS made potato salad for ANY family gathering we had. it was our staple. i havent had homemade since she suddenly died in 2013.....and last summer Matt was by my side in the kitchen as i made my moms infamous potato salad. it was very emotional. i think there were more tears than mayonnaise in it.

Raylynn Reed commented on 19 Apr 2016

I just love, LOVE your meal plan videos! You have inspired me to stay on track, and plan my week out. it has helped so much! Yay, for the weather change. We are about to start grilling a Lot!

The Kneady Homesteader commented on 20 Apr 2016

+Raylynn Reed WOOHOO! bring on that sun, gurl! LOL and thanks mama, that means a lot to me!!!!

Our Family Home Life (Meals, Hauls, DIY) commented on 19 Apr 2016

I can't stand wasting food, either. I'm always trying to use it all up! :) Great meal plan!

The Kneady Homesteader commented on 20 Apr 2016

+Our Family Home Life (Meals, Hauls, DIY) i try to think of it as a challenge! hahahaha i only wish I won a prize at the end of the week for succeeding! i guess i win no leftovers.....kinda like the clean plate club! HAHAHAHA

Sherry Donald commented on 19 Apr 2016

you do a good job, I am inspired to avoid waste as well.

The Kneady Homesteader commented on 19 Apr 2016

WOOHOO! that makes me so happy! I know, I look to other channels to help inspire me as well.....sometimes you just get into a mundane cycle.....

Sherry Donald commented on 19 Apr 2016

I hear ya, I was waiting so much food as I cook for myself and just had a problem trying to reinvent what I had, your channel has helped me, so I thank you!

The Kneady Homesteader commented on 19 Apr 2016

I bought this one last Xmas and I just bought another for next year. I write in milk every week. Then, i can plan what I will buy now and what I will buy 6 months from now!!!! It is fantastic!

Michelle Martinez commented on 16 Apr 2016

I dated the entire book!

TheGLOSSette commented on 13 Apr 2016

I'm always curious for people who meal plan more than a week in advance. If I were to meal plan which I might in the near future, I would wanna coordinate my meals with what is on sale that week.

Deb canadian commented on 14 Apr 2016

+TheGLOSSette Hi I am hoping this is ok to say but for me I have my meal plan for the month and I wright beside each meal what I need to buy then once a week I go thru the fliers then look at my meals I only do 6{days I leave 1 day each week open for leftovers,out for dinner etc}plus if there say Tomato sauce on sale and I am not in the mood for certain dish but need it for another I will pick it up. I use my meal plan as a starting place

what is your pizza crust recipe?

Macie Vega commented on 06 Feb 2016

I really love Whole Foods pre-made dough, but when I make it at home I use this recipe! //www.sugardishme.com/10-minute-pizza-dough/

CurlyCarbivore commented on 27 Jan 2016

I need to start weekly planning! Do you have a recipe for that pesto artichoke pasta? It looks amazing!

Macie Vega commented on 31 Jan 2016

+CurlyCarbivore It is super easy! I just cook pasta, and combine it with a can of chopped artichokes, plus as much pesto as you'd like. I also add in chopped cooked spinach and tofu ricotta. Combine it all, then put in a dish and top with cashew parmesan cheese. Bake around 350 until the cashews on top are slightly browned. It was sooooo good!
