How amazing to get that bucket of almond butter! And all those Clif, granola and dark chocolate bars too, yummy - enjoy! The garlic paste will be super handy to have on hand to add to your cooking. Thanks for sharing your lovely haul with us. Ps. Your windchimes in the background sound beautiful😊
Great haul! I enjoy your videos so much! It's fun keeping up with your creativity in using everything, hearing your positive attitude and joyful personality. Take care and God Bless you and your family!
You are correct food pantries are a big help but they can't offer everything that a person needs for a healthy diet they are there to supplement your food budget
The Human chocolate is my favorite. It doesn't have dairy and I cannot have dairy. That stuff is expensive! I allow myself 2 squares a day. My son gets it for me at a Grocery Outlet for about 4.00 a bar.
I have had to be *completely* dairy free for 2 of my nursing babies (dairy triggered eczema) and it can prove difficult. I'm so glad you've found a sweet treat that works and a less expensive way to make it happen.
Hi there! The nuggets say peanut free because it indicates they’re an allergy friendly company. People who manage life threatening allergies also have to worry about cross contamination in the manufacturing process. Ian’s is a great brand - hope you enjoy them
My older ones like having Ramen as a snack, especially the ones that have work and come home hungry and dinner is not ready yet. My friend gave me one of those HU Hazlenut choclate bars and man! I agree, it was delish!!! Oh, fun! We also got one of those Roulette Dorito chips to try today, and the kids LOVEd it but we like to see how far we can go for hot chips. LOL
You definitely have access to an incredible food pantry. I have never seen such high end items given through a food pantry. Fancy, fancy! Normally a food pantry offers basic staple grocery items. I’m new to your channel and have not seen any dairy, veggies or meats in your hauls. Do they not offer them?
It is very hit and miss. Sometimes we get a pretty good amount of those but often times we get more shelf stable items, lots of snack type things and such.
Great haul right now with food prices being so high its hard to buy the organic items i wish i could buy grass fed meats but its more important that bellies are full instead of organic if i can get something organic for the same or very close to the same price i will pick organic but my food budget is $600 to feed my husband, myself and 3 high school age kids 2 of which are boys i make all of our meals from scratch due to severe allergies on my part but i hope to someday be able to buy higher quality, clean, groceries. This summer i am canning all of our produce from our garden and farmers market hipe you have a great week.
If you have a spare pump top bottle (like a liquid soap bottle) use that and decanter ur conditioner into it that’s what I did when I bought bottles that Match my bathroom decor smile😂😊 hope ur all doing well
I’m going to try to start sweet potato slips with my last homegrown one. I tried twice 1/2 in dirt and both rotted, so I’m doing the kindergarten toothpicks in water this time. 🤞🏻🥔🌱
I've already opened them and eaten several. They remind me of the refrigerator pickles that I make during the summer. Very yummy! Love a good crunchy pickle.
I just watched another channel that was blessed with very similar items. Do pantries general have the same items? What is one item you wish you could get regularly?
Most food pantries get at least some of their hand outs from a larger hub from their state. So it is common to see different food banks in the same state/region have many of the same things. But I also follow a lady halfway across the country from me who often gets very similar things as I do.
As for items we love getting: the staples! Meat, cheese, milk, eggs, fresh veggies and fruit. Often we get lots of nonparishable snacky foods but not as much of the less shelf stable staples.
Those Human chocolate bars look good!! I always look for good chocolate marked down at my grocery store. Honestly I don't know anyone who eats a clean well balanced diet!
I’m so so happy that you all make out so well at the food bank. That’s so great. Can I ask about the microwave? Is that a I can’t afford one or a thing that you just don’t want one? I’m just curious . Please don’t think I’m being rude by asking. I never ever judge anyone I promise you that . I absolutely love your channel ❤
A combination of things. I don't 100% trust them (more about reducing nutrition in the food than about microwaving my brain or something lol). They are expensive to buy brand new and the last two new ones we've bought only lasted a couple years, max. So if I buy another one, I will likely just buy a used one from a thrift store or yard sale. I have no issue just not having one but my husband is starting to put up a fuss. Lol He's less patient than me on waiting for the toaster oven.
@@weepingwillowhomestead oh ok. That makes sense . Thank you for sharing that. I don’t use mine to much but my hubby uses it a lot too. I have a French door pizza oven that I use the most out of any of my kitchen stuff then I would say my electric tea kettle and then my instant pot. My big oven is some thing I rarely use
@@terriprobst4680 we for sure use our big oven. Lol But I use the toaster oven daily. It is nice during the summer for not heating up the whole house like the oven does.
Hello.🌿 I like your videos it's good that food banks help keep the food budget. I'm curious about the carpet to the right of the kitchen island. It's red and white,🍅 is it crocheted? I love to crochet and sew. Can you show it more closely? Take care, Birgitta in Sweden.🌼💙💛🌼
Seed oils like.vegetable, canola and such are highly processed and highly inflammatory. We much prefer to stick with less processed and mostly animal based ones. Avacado and olive are OK (though olive should not be heated). Lard, coconut and butter are my preferred.
You got a lot of stuff and I am sure your kids are going to be fine even with some seed oils from time to time. I think you are completely right to prioritize paying for the good stuff like vegetables and meat when you get a lot of other things for free. Sadly, some parents will not do that even if they have the change and we need to remember that. Doing what is best and what works for you is all you can do. While I can eat canned vegetables, I get it, very few and good if you ask me and most of the time they are pretty slimy so I understand not fighting with that. One of the few things l think is fine canned is asparagus and pickled onions, most of the rest, sorry, I pass.
Amen

Yes I agree it’s amazing the different things you get to try
So glad you could receive this! I don't know if your kids would like but my family all likes energy bites with peanut butter,oats, dried fruit,etc.

Tell your husband thank you i appreciate what truckers do
You have no idea how much we both appreciate that. ❤️
I would like to see the butter after you put it in the mason jars. I have never seen that butter before. Thank you

Grillos pickles are hands down the best deli style pickles made. There is grape leaves in the pickle juice that makes them so crunchy.
I've already opened them and eaten several. They remind me of the refrigerator pickles that I make during the summer. Very yummy! Love a good crunchy pickle.
Make some of those 3-ingredient nut butter cookies with the almond butter. 1cuo sugar, 1 cup nut butter, and one egg. They’re good!

Instant mashed potatoes is what I call them
Instant potatoes are what those bagged Potatoes are 😊
No peanut designation probably because they could have peanut oil 🤷♀️

@@weepingwillowhomestead that’s awesome. Yeah. Toaster oven would definitely be easier in the summer
I heard those cheese stuffed peppers are found at Aldi I have them on my list cause I know I will love them
I don't know if they have them all the time or if they are seasonal. Might have to watch for them myself as a special treat now and then.
@@weepingwillowhomestead pretty sure they are seasonal unlike the cheese stuff olives which seam to be all the time now
@@angelam4258 well. I'm for sure not buying this brand. Happened to look it up...$14 a jar. 😮
Hello.🌿 I like your videos it's good that food banks help keep the food budget. I'm curious about the carpet to the right of the kitchen island. It's red and white,🍅 is it crocheted? I love to crochet and sew. Can you show it more closely? Take care, Birgitta in Sweden.🌼💙💛🌼
It is crocheted. I have 4 in the kitchen that I've made. I will try to remember to get a better view of them for you. 🥰
@@weepingwillowhomestead
Maybe you could make a video about crochet and more. It's fun and inspiring to see what others are doing. 🏵🌿🌺
@@birgittacarlson7537 I've done a couple "shorts" videos on a baby sweater I knit for a new nephew. Guess I need to do one on the rugs.
@@weepingwillowhomestead I look forward to taking a closer look at your rugs.🌿🌺🥰
Get the youngest some bells/noisy toys to play with at church especially Easter Sunday. It’s good to keep the congregation awake and alive.
Hahaha Brilliant!
Back again
Wow, awesome chocolate!!! You're the 2nd person today that said no seed oils (almond, avocado, evoo, walnut). Why not?

Sorry to say, but so much junk food!!
Unfortunately, yes. The food banks do the best they can with what they are given and what funds they have.
