Thanks so much for again supporting the idea of using food banks to reduce food waste, that they are available for everyone and that there is no shame in going to help stretch your budget (and most of our budgets are getting tighter!) Seems like you have a great Food Pantry to go to, and I’m so glad for you and your family (and the people of your area) for having access to that. No one in this country (or any country) should go hungry. One thing we did choose to invest in (we found it at an outlet, had a small scratch in the paint, who cares) was a large freezer. This has been great because we can buy large quantities on sale, and have a place to store them long term. Another thing that has been great (and I would recommend for you or anyone) is a “food saver” vacuum sealer for thing’s you’d freeze. We would lose so many things to freezer burn, and with this appliance, it lasts for at least a year (we haven’t tried it for longer.) Husband found a broken one at the thrift store…all it needed was a replacement belt (5$) and he’s handy and knows how to do this. You can get a large amount of the storage bags at Costco for a low price. This has saved us a tremendous amount of money, and reduced our food waste so much, yay!!! So interesting to see you make cheese! I want to try this…love cheese…and it looks interesting to do!! Thanks, @Mama Baird’s Homestead for your videos…you have such a fun personality, cook interesting things for great ideas, and give great info! Hopefully, I’ll make one of your lives! Appreciate your channel, and so happy for you that you’re getting so many subscribers…good for you!!
My grandmother used to use the leftover liquid to make cornbread, breads, and or biscuits. One time I seen her use it to make our cream of wheat or our grits depending on what else she was cooking when she made that cheese she would substitute that liquid with
That was whey cool to make your own Mozzarella with the extra milk you got Carolina! Homemade cheese is the best! You got some good food this week - those flat bread look yum... so many different wraps and things you could do with them to make easy meals.
Hi Carolina! 👋🏻 That’s one thing I like about your channel-you show us new and interesting things. The cheese making was so interesting! Thanks for sharing and take care. 😀👋🏻❤️
When you make mozzarella next time , I would suggest putting the curd part into hot water. It will become soft doing that and you will be able to stretch it and ball it better. My daughter is a cheese monger and she watched your video with me and suggested that. That's what they do at Harvest Market. Hope that helps.
When making mozzarella with my grandmother she always kept the cheese in the hottest water her hands could take (that old lady had asbestos hands, lol) and would do all the kneading and folding in the water to keep it soft while forming the balls.
I have been binge watching your videos. We unfortunately don't have alot of food banks in South Africa, but cheaper like stores. So with these ideas I can easily make a hearty meal with not too expensive products. With everything so expensive it's difficult to keep a budget and make a hearty and filling meal. Love your channel and recipes. I will keep and eye for that next video! Thanks so much really. 😊
Also if you need food but your food bank limits based on your income, check into mobile food banks. They typically do not do any checks for income. Hope this helps someone.
I can go to one a month and in another town can go up to 3x/month. I try to go 2x and then the one time. I am so grateful for anything I don’t have to purchase. They know me bc I always ask for flour or sugar. I ended up getting a 3 lb pork roast bc nobody wanted to cook it 😮.
Flatbread pizza with crab. Take your flatbread. Make a white cream alfredo. Add mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Place your crab or shrimp or seafood whatever you got on top of the flatbread. And then just heat it for like 5 minutes in the oven if the seafood is already. If the seafood as raw cook your seafood till it's almost. And then added to your. After you top the flatbread pizza with your seafood or whatever you got to do put a little more sauce on it and some cheese and baked it just 45 minutes until it's hot and melted
I think it's wonderful that you can use the food bank to supplement. I don't need it, but you never know, someday I might. I like the creative ideas you show with using what you receive. Many blessings to you and your family for 2023!,
Great video. So cool that you preserve/can /save so much food. I honestly never thought about how much we waste in food with so many starving. Thank you for making me think and be more aware. Blessings!
Loved this video!! You are so patienate about the food bank, I hope those needing help listen to you! I learn so much from you about being frugal and you do it without being intimidating. Thanks Carolina....you have fast become one of my favorite youtubers!! From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤️
I always love your opening introduction and helping people feel comfortable with using the food bank. I also continue to love your creativity, I feel like you are my neighbor that I come over to visit with my coffee and talk.
I went to a food bank today. I got potatoes. 8pounds Onions. Carrots. Three meats .two dozen eggs. Four bags powered milk. 12 soups in boxes. 6veggies broth.
Love this page. Things are crazy right now, and people need to use all of the resources available to them. Food is crazy right now, and food banks are there to help those who need it.
I work full time and I utilize food banks. It’s being resourceful and it is yummy snd beneficial. I wish I would have known about it a few times years ago…..yes rent, phone, electric, insurance, car note, etc, etc
Hey there! Quick tip on freezing the bagels. Keep a drinking straw handy (yes, I use a steel one). Just before you pinch that last inch on the baggie closed, stick your straw in the corner of the bag and suck out all the extra air. I make mega-batches of muffins for my husband and freeze them. Getting (almost) all the air out helps keep ice crystals from forming so they don't have mushy spots when they thaw.
I am participating in the #threeriverschallenge this year with a focus on using up all my older items in my pantry and the things I get from the pantry. I to take things they are going to throw away and preserve what I can. I have not been in the store all week! I have cut my coffee intake by 1/3 and instead drinking all the hot tea I have an abundance off in my pantry. I am loving this challenge!
Even a soured milk can be used in a chocolate cake or pancakes! I wouldn't use sour milk if super chunky, but in a cake, it works fabulous! You got a great haul! Also, from the whey, I have made ricotta and in bread making.
I've made ricotta from milk that is close to expiration but didn't know you could use the whey. Plus, homemade ricotta is so much better than store bought.
I believe what's left in the pot is the whey, but what is left in your bowls is buttermilk. Could be used in pancakes or waffles. Our tribe of many has great videos making cheese.
I have a friend who works at a grocery store and he calls me when he has to get rid of veggies and breads and other thing's as well. I either can it or freeze for my chickens. It's a great way to keep it out of the landfill
Interesting that this popped up.. possibly because we've had to use our local food banks recently. My husband has been off work since November when he ended up in the hospital suddenly and I was missing a lot too even before then to my own health issues. I felt nauseous the first time we had to get help but I really appreciate your perspective and efforts to break the stigma. It is also great to see your tips. Thank you
Ooh good haul-yummy milk🙌🏻. Yes to all the cheese! Farmers cheese is good too! That’s what she said🤣I hear that non stop around here🤦🏻♀️😜 I like to freeze leftover pie and use it to make homemade ice cream-seriously delicious! One of my food pickups gives tons of bakery items-chocolate-muffins-breads donuts pies cakes it’s crazy! Today was insane 4 french bread-2 Italian loaf-2 everything loafs 2 huge packs burger buns & 2 huge packs hot dog buns-a fruit cobbler-apple pie-cherry pie-brownie cookie pie-husband has to take all that to work-oh wait plain bagels and blueberry bagels. I got zucchini-eggplant-a few Yukon potatoes and a ton of sweet potatoes-spaghetti squash. 1 bag chicken leg quarters-1 spiral cut ham-Perdue nuggets-hot Italian sausage-Perdue grilled chicken strips-several yummy salad kits-a big tub organic mixed salad and organic spinach-sugar snap peas-celery-2 #10 cans tomato paste-Doritos-several canned veggies-vitamin gummies and elderberry syrup 🙌🏻
I can relate to when you said step outside your comfort zone and see what you can make with food bank items. I made a sweet potato dump cake out of a can of sweet potatoes and cake mix I got from my local food bank plus some pantry items that I always have on hand, and it was awesome. Everyone keeps asking when am I going to make it again. Lol.
Hi, take your leftover whey and put it into ice cube trays. Freeze and then add several whey ice cubes to your soup stocks. Adds extra protein & doesn't change to flavor of your broth. Also add a couple whey ice cubes into your smoothies. Protein smoothies!
Those flatbreads would make good turkey rollups. Spread cream cheese then a layer of cranberry sauce and add some turkey. Roll it up and cut into pinwheels.
You could make Pizza from the flat bread for the kids. Cut them into individual sizes and let them top their own any way they want. Or it may be good to use for a Mexican type casserole in place of flour tortillas.
There are two-three people in my household at dinner time a box of rice a roni pasta with a bit of meat is perfect for 2 for dinner or 3 with a side or added veggies.
Just came upon your channel. My last name is Baird too cool. Love all of the ideas you have. Definitely going to use some of them for our food storage.
Omg Friend! I just found your channel and I couldn’t hit subscribe fast enough!!! You are so much fun and Real!!!! Can’t wait for more videos! Love from California 💕
That almost looks like lavish bread. Put lunch meat and cheese, roll up using the longer side, cut into pin wheel. Can freeze the pinwheels if needed. And, of course, pizzas! Maybe using fruit to make a sugary treat…..add a mix of cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla to make it a cheese cake with fruit. Those are huge! Nice work on the cheese. You have got to show us what you come up with using that mix of food options!
You can make ricotta cheese from the leftover milk ricotta means in Italian “re cooked”. I love your channel it is so refreshing and l am a firm believer in not wasting food 😊
I saw a video showing you can make ricotta cheese from the whey. Supposed to bring the whey. up to 200° and add a quarter cup of vinegar or lemon juice let it set 10 minutes and drain through cheesecloth
This was awesome! I am inspired to make cheese! I really wanted to comment though on how far the food bank plants have come! Wow! They are doing great. 👍
When I lived in Hawaii for 3 years I quickly realized how much food we were wasting and did my best to lessen it. I also quit using plastic bags, when I moved back to the mainland I was mortified by the amount of bags I was given at the store. I’m very fortunate in my life now, I wish videos like this could have exsisted 25 years ago when we could’ve used the help. I hope you have a fantastic 2023 ❤
At my church we make syrian string cheese for our bazaar using mozzarella base. We use the whey to add to mideast biscuits. So delicious 😋. Enjoy your videos and your adventurous spirit.
Try slicing those muffins into lengthwise cuts (like thick slices of loaf bread) and then brown them up in a pan with butter. Serve with milk. So good!
I love the everything bagels. If I find a sale I will buy them up slice them thin bake them crisp and store them for snacks and croutons. I make a queso fresco (farmers/fresh cheese) in a similar way. I use lemon or vinegar if the milk is still fresh, if soured I don't use anything and heat it up as you did. I do not use rennet but salt is needed then when heated to temp i let sit a few minutes and then pour into cheese cloth and hang for a few hours and you have queso fresco/farmers cheese. I will eat it as is add some herbs, garlic, onions, seasonings, lemon pepper yum, or what ever I want. I crumble it over anything beans, rice, tacos, it's crumbly soft easy melt cheese. You did great at making cheese for a beginner. No worries! Until next time much love💖

I’m trying to think of a mean comment for an extra chuckle! 🤣. Seriously, Carolina you’re sweet! Your videos are like visiting with one of my neices
Just love the way you trouble shoot when things don't always go as they should to begin with. Thank you.
Great video. So cool that you preserve/can /save so much food. I honestly never thought about how much we waste in food with so many starving. Thank you for making me think and be more aware. Blessings!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
I love that you are not afraid to do anything.
Thank you! You haven't tried to get me to swim with sharks though....haha definitely not something I would do!
Wow that’s awesome u are so patient doing that I never seen mozzarella cheese being made u saved yourself some money👏🏽👏🏽😀

How awesome to make cheese. Thank you so much for showing us how. Blessings!!
I’m glad you got yourself a treat from the foodbank! Mama needs a treat! I’ve heard you can use whey in smoothies.
Yes! Thank you!
Wow I never knew it was so easy to make mozzarella. You are incredible. Thanks for sharing 🤠
My pleasure!

Awesome
My husband has been wanting to make mozzarella. We like making homemade breads too. We might try the mozzarella now.
You should! Just let it get hotter than I did with mine and it'll be stretchy. I didn't heat mine up quite long enough.
also do begel chips for the kids for dipping for the uncut ones... cut them from the inside out into small slices toast them .
I believe what's left in the pot is the whey, but what is left in your bowls is buttermilk. Could be used in pancakes or waffles. Our tribe of many has great videos making cheese.

Awesome! I wonder if we are distantly related! I think most of the Bairds are in some form.

flatbread makes good pizza dough
i was thinking the same thing. prolly used for deli's to make arams
You can make ricotta cheese from the leftover milk ricotta means in Italian “re cooked”. I love your channel it is so refreshing and l am a firm believer in not wasting food 😊
Yes! Thank you!
I use the flat bread for pizza. layer bread & put in over just till the chesse melts.
Those stuffed jalapeños sound awesome!
They were good! A little salty, but nothing some good ol' ranch couldn't fix!
Love your content your mystery cooking sounds like food network Chopped love it!!
Thank you 😋
How exciting, Carolina! I've never made any cheese, and you made it look easy!
Thank you!! It really was pretty easy!
I use bagels to make bagel chips they are fantastic with soup.
You have a wonderful channel, very smart showing people how to cook with food bank food! I am a new subscriber
Thank you so much! Welcome to the family!
I saw a video showing you can make ricotta cheese from the whey.
Supposed to bring the whey. up to 200° and add a quarter cup of vinegar or lemon juice let it set 10 minutes and drain through cheesecloth
This was awesome! I am inspired to make cheese! I really wanted to comment though on how far the food bank plants have come! Wow! They are doing great. 👍

🧀 great video mumma Baird 😻😻🙌❤ easy cheesey 😮 🤤
When I lived in Hawaii for 3 years I quickly realized how much food we were wasting and did my best to lessen it. I also quit using plastic bags, when I moved back to the mainland I was mortified by the amount of bags I was given at the store.
I’m very fortunate in my life now, I wish videos like this could have exsisted 25 years ago when we could’ve used the help.
I hope you have a fantastic 2023 ❤
Thank you Anna!! I hope you have a wonderful 2023 as well!
I just found your channel and just so you know I LOVE your channel thank you so much happy new year and many blessings to you and your family
Thank you! You too!
very cool. i've never seen cheese made before.
It's so good!
Those apple crumble muffins are my favorite when we used to live near a Costco I used to love getting those and the chocolate and the poppyseed… 😂
Same here! I'm glad they had so many!
I think that flat bread would make a great pizza using your wonderful homemade cheese.
I agree! Yum!!
Ooo… I can’t wait to see what you do with the flatbread!
Me too! haha
Hey sweetie your plants are thriving just like your kids. Stay happy. Your friend Trish in Sandiego Ca USA
Aw thank you Triska!
Really enjoy your videos!
I appreciate that!
Love it! Be a soldier and try new things! Jody
At my church we make syrian string cheese for our bazaar using mozzarella base. We use the whey to add to mideast biscuits. So delicious 😋. Enjoy your videos and your adventurous spirit.
Thank you so much!
I can’t wait to make cheese I’ve always wanted to
the flatbread would make great diy pizza for a fun activity with your kids! pop up some popcorn and have a picnic movie night in the living room. 😊
Great idea!! Thanks!
FABULOUS video...🤩🤩
Thanks 🤗
From Nonna, make ricotta from the whey which is basically heating it up. Then feed the whey to the critters.
Thank you !
Bagel things are great for a lower calorie option.. nice for sandwiches.
Oops! Thins, not Things lol.
I have seen people making cheese use the cheese cloth and it makes a nice ball
Girl you crack me up lol darn kids 🤣
Yea they're so sweet and cute lol even when you're like Ahh lol
Those are cute painting things they did 💝
🤗
We buy milk from our creamery right up the road and my son made homemade butter. Yummm
Oh wow! I need to try that!
Try slicing those muffins into lengthwise cuts (like thick slices of loaf bread) and then brown them up in a pan with butter. Serve with milk. So good!
Oh I like that idea! Thanks!
There is nothing wrong with going to the food bank as long as you really need it.
Hello Carolina! I have a suggestion for the flat bread. Make pizzas. They are delicious.
Flatbread makes great pizzas too if u have any left
I used them a lot for that!
I like storing excess bags of sugar or flour in gallon ziplocks to keep bugs out
That's a great idea!
That's a good way to divide those muffins up.
Thank you!
Your amazing
Thank you!!
That was so interesting.
Thank you!

I will eat it as is add some herbs, garlic, onions, seasonings, lemon pepper yum, or what ever I want. I crumble it over anything beans, rice, tacos, it's crumbly soft easy melt cheese. You did great at making cheese for a beginner. No worries! Until next time much love💖
Thank you so much Olivia!
