  • 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!

    Thanks for another food pantry pep talk! Your channel is what initially gave me the courage to go and it’s been such a blessing.

    You get a tremendous amount of items from your food bank . Many other banks I have seen don’t give much at all . In my area the food pantries we have all go by income . Doesn’t matter if you are struggling. Sad . I read today that people are spending 11,000 more a year on food and basic essentials than they did 18 months ago . We need a drastic change in our economy .

      If somebody is spending that much money they must have a large family

    Going to food banks has really helped me , especially while living with a chronic condition. Always love seeing your hauls.
    Side note: I’ve heard you can add a little bit of dark roast coffee in baking anything with chocolate (i.e. brownies) because it helps enhance the chocolate flavor

    Pizza and frappacino works for me today. 😊💛😋

      Agreed. It looks exactly like a regular grocery haul from a supermarket. Most food pantries don't give such variety and quantity.

    If you don’t like the taste of strong coffee, make it weak. I use about 4-1 water to coffee and then add the cream and sugar so it’s like tea. Tastes great!

    Omg, what a treat. The HUbars are so expensive. In New Jersey, they are about 6.99 US. My favorite is the non dairy hazelnut. I savor them slowly. Glad you or your family can enjoy them. Slowly, ❤️

    Nice that you get to select your food. Peach cobbler with crushed Skor bars inside is wonderful.

    I'm always impressed with the variety of things you get from the church food pantry. They seem to do a wonderful job of getting items that work together to make balanced meals. I'm curious about that mushroom coffee, please let us know if it was good, bad or just different. Hope you have a good week!

    Enjoy the chocolate and fizzy water. It’s hard with hair and have alopecia since I was 15 now almost 36. I chose to shave off the rest off around 8 years ago. I don’t miss it.

    I love Skor bars! I also have the issue with coffee not liking me at all and I heard about the mushroom coffee but haven’t pulled the trigger on spending the money to try it mainly because I don’t want to buy a full container to find out I don’t like it.
    Great haul again!! It is so nice to see the variety of foods that you get on a regular basis and my husband would horde the Reese’s peanut butter cups 🤣
    My hair thinned out majorly after I had Covid the first time and I used supplements to help get it back somewhat. My hair was halfway down my back and I had multiple lengths of hair so last year I went and had it all cut to one length it is growing out slowly but surely again but I have issues with the ends being dry now too when I just had “normal” hair before.

    Hi I'm so happy to hear you sound like you feel much better you got lots of useful things in your hall. Sadly I have the same problem you do for some reason my hair has been getting thinner as I've gotten older and I've never had any kids or anything it's just whatever is going on I've started taking Biotin and some other supplements but I haven't really noticed much difference yet. It just makes me so sad cuz I used to have really pretty hair it was one of the things I actually liked about myself.

    Just my thoughts-NOT judging at all! Not sure how your kids are, especially your girls, but it might be helpful to NOT label food as healthy and junk. All food work in the right balance! Your hauls are great!

    Just out of curiosity do you donate any eggs back to the food pantry

    • @weepingwillowhomestead
      @weepingwillowhomestead  Před 4 měsíci

      Yes! If we ever have extras we donate them. We also donate extra garden produce every summer.
