- Welcome!
We are a homesteading, homeschooling family of 7. Due to recent events (job loss/career change, health issues, rising food costs, etc.) we are having a hard time making ends meet despite our best efforts at frugality. So we are tapping into our local food banks to help us feed our family. Come along as I show you what we are blessed with, what we add to it via grocery store and garden, and how I use it all to nourish our bodies.
Thanks for watching and God bless!

Pork loin roast cooks very fast in the crock pot. I used to cook them for 6 to 8 hrs and like you, wondered why it was always dry.....and then one day I was actually home whilst cooking one and at four hours decided to check on it and low and behold it was cooked and juicy 😀 so now I plan for my pork roasts to be in the crock pot for 4 hrs and they come out nice and juicy every time!
Low or high?
THe orange marmalde made from the cuties makes FANTASTIC orange chicken!
Could you share what marmalade recipe you used?
I always add a can of cream of mushroom to keep the pork juicy. When it finishes in the crock pot the cream of mushroom is thin because of the juices are added to it. I like to take what is left and add a bit of flour and make gravy.
Great meals of the week hope you all feel better soon! Take care and stay safe!
I was watching you video and those green beans looked so good. I got up and I am making them now for dinner. Love your cooking ideas. Hope you all feel better soon.
Thanks for sharing , meals look yummy hope ya'll feel better soon!
Thanks for your videos ❤😊
God bless you and your family 💘 ❤😊 hope you all feel better 🙏 ❤️
Sorry you and your family are sick I hope you all get better soon. I'm just getting over something that I've been dealing with the whole week don't know what that was lol it's been chili and drizzly all week where I live we've also had some pretty massive flooding in some areas sure could use some prayers for some dryer weather. God bless😅
All your meals look 👀 delicious 😋!!!❤❤❤❤❤
All your meals look tasty this week. Hope you all feel better next week. It takes talent to burn water . LOL . I think you just need a down day for mom to rest . The kiddos can eat cereal for a day and survive. Feel better.Oh what was that that you made yourself on pizza night didn’t see a recipe for it .
Yep. I forgot to add that.
Chaffles
1 cup shredded mozzarella
2 tbsp almond flour
2 tbsp egg whites (1 large egg worth)
1/2 tsp xanthan gum (optional, makes them extra crispy)
Makes 2 to 4 (depending on size of waffle maker and how thick you want them- thicker is less crispy).
Place mixture in a well heated waffle maker. Cook for 4 minutes with out opening! Opening will result in sticking.
To make the "pizza" flavored add 1 tsp Italian seasoning and 10 pepperoni diced
Vitamins and garlic
Your dinner's always look good. Haven't done a pork loin in a long time. Now I have to get one. Hopefully you all feel better soon
Awesome dinners 🥰
It is so that you make your own pizza. The last time, my daughter and I went out for pizza. It cost us $26.00 for 2 small pizzas and 2 soft drinks. Have a wonderful weekend. God bless you and your family.
Don’t over cook pork. My stepmom cooks it forever too and it’s always so tough! She’ll cook it on the stove and then cover it in sauce and put it in the oven for a couple hours…. I know no one wants trichinoses but as long as you get it to the right temperature it’ll be fine.
Finally made your Big Mac Sauce. Omg it is so good. My son who doesn’t like burgers, has been asking for them and Big Mac sloppy joe. Add sauce to browned crumbled burger. Serve on a bun with lettuce tomatoes pickles onions and cheese.
Love your honey mustard also.
And zinc, garlic
Try an oven bag in you slowcooker that should keep the juices in and keep it moist.
❤❤❤❤
Don’t put the pork on the onions put it on bottom of crock after searing and put onions on top. Allow it to cook on low in its juices and will not be as dry. I learned this the hard way 😂
Pork is easy to over cook because of consistency it holds the heat and continues to cook after you take it off the heat. I have to use a meat thermometer and check it often and as soon as it reaches the right internal temp it's done
You could can some of the oranges too.
I tried that once and they were so bitter. 😕
If you want more good recipes go to acre homestead she has all kinds.
I put you on wide screen because youtube shrinks your screen and puts ads next to your video. Went out of wide screen because you don't fill the whole screen that way. Just being my weird slightly autistic self,
Orange juice
‘Like, um, yeah’ makes it hard to listen to
It is a bad habit I am working on. It is worse when I am tried and don't feel well.
@@weepingwillowhomestead I didn’t say it to be mean. It will affect your subscriber numbers. I am a university professor and I got the critique on one of my early lectures, I was saying ‘um’, otherwise I wouldn’t have known. What helped me was to slow down and take a breath. The um’s and likes are fillers and we all speak too fast anyway. Take a quick breath between sentences. Hopefully that will help.
@@cinm9565 I deeply appreciate the constructive criticism in a kind way!
For what it's worth your speaking has never bothered me. I never even noticed. You sound like a friend just chatting to friends. Just my take. Have a lovely day.
@@cinm9565I’m sorry but not nice to be critical. I have no problem with how she talks. She is an everyday normal mother . Not a snooty college professor. If you have an issue just move on and keep your comments to yourself .
