Could you please tell me what type of food processor you use?
Yes! I’ll link my set, I love it! amzn.to/4a7uSWD
Thank you for your quick reply. I was hoping it was just a food processor. I already have a vitamix blender, so after researching, I think I will get an eight cup Braun food processor. If you have any other suggestions I would appreciate them. Thank you!
@@marthalofton6124 I spent 6 months researching and re-thinking, and settled upon cuisinart.
America's Test Kitchen has a video on it, search for "The Best Food Processors". So far, I am happy with my pick.
Hi, I just found your channel today. I love that there are more parents doing things from scratch! Do you also make dehydrated fruit roll-ups? I used to make my own fruit roll ups that my kids loved. I liked knowing what my children were eating and made sure that what they got was a lot healthier than anything you could ever buy from the supermarket! My favorite was the look on another parent's face when they would ask me... how much sugar I put in and I would tell them... none! Lol
No
Im 61 and live in Canada. My mom baked daily for our family of 7. We never over ate or binged. Mom cooked the best healthy meals as well. She made everything from scratch. I followed the example she set. All Stacy is doing here is going back to how things used to be done before grocery stores carried everything. She's setting an amazing example of self-sufficiency for her kids. I know kids who don't have a clue where the meat, fish, poultry, fruits and vegetables in the grocery stores come from. They teach kids in school how to read the product information because in many families this isn't explained to them. The food Stacy is making for her family is healthier than store bought even if she includes chocolate chips😊 I've watched many of her videos and she's leading her family by example. I taught my boys the same way. Excellent way to grow up!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I really appreciate you watching my videos and glad you are enjoying them. I agree that it’s really just going back to how things used to be!
Absolutely. I’m colombian and my mom raised my and my siblings the same way. I’m so thankful for this as nowadays as a grown woman I keep the tradition even though I’m living abroad. And it has saved me so much money
I knew a young woman years ago who literally thought French fries grew as French fries and were not from potatoes!!
We agree with you! We are also from Canada. We have a 62 acre island in the wilderness. We learn sooo much! 💚
My mom is younger than you,she's 55 and I'm 37,good for you,Mediterranean diet does wonders to your body also.😂😅
I'm a single mom on state benefits while I finish school and I have a huge garden to supplement my limited funds your channel really inspired me! Thank you
You should have a work requirement
I love that you garden! That's amazing! I'm glad you can get help, and help yourself at the same time❤
@@cherylliston3284she never said she didn’t and frankly it’s none of your business
@@cherylliston3284Why does she need to include that information? Are you just assuming that she doesn't work?
@@cherylliston3284 lol I did. Off of it now.
I’m 67 and grew up in South Central Kentucky. My Mom made all of our snacks such as potato chips and condiments such as ketchup, meals and luscious desserts from scratch. I confess that as a kid I longed for store bought “normal” snacks and food that my friends had such as Pop Tarts, Lays Potato Chips, Coca-Cola etc. I didn’t know how blessed I was.
I didn’t realize how fortunate I was either. I was a farm kid and I was fed mostly organic stuff grown on the farm. Probably the most ridiculous thing I was jealous of were kids in grocery stores who had cheese whiz in their cart. I was stuck having cheese from a farm nearby 🤣 I had never tried it, but it represented normal to me lol.
Good mama. I was never allowed candy becos it and soda ruined my mother's teeth. and it paid off
Yes, I remember begging my mother to buy me processed foods as a teenager and then being disappointed by them! I still love her cooking, when she invites me over!
OMG “ I didn’t know how blessed I was “ craving the junk “normal “ kids ate
This is true for millions of kids thanks to marketing campaigns and haves and have nots created by a dysfunctional society
You are obviously simply wonderful! What a mother! What a domestic engineer!
What can I say except: much respect to you, Supermom!
Thank you. ❤️
Aww it was so sweet when your baby was fussing and you gave your lil one a little cuddle and comfort and I saw the instant smile on your baby’s face and no more fussing. What a loving mama. Just as God intended ❤
Thank you for watching.❤️
The side of side soothing 2:47 rock. Yes. I remember doing that sooo many times a day. Now my little ones rarely need it, but it’s an automatic. Love it. Respect for your hard work.
Cooking things from scratch is such a normal way of life in India...it is incredible it is not in so many parts of the world.
And India has one of the highest levels of type 2 diabetes, otherwise known as the diabetes capital of the world. Cooking from scratch doesn't mean it's a healthy diet (high carbohydrate and plenty of processed snacks in cities)
It’s normal in my house and my mom cooked from scratch. My parents were raised in the country and all but one sibling of mom’s cooked from scratch and my grandmother cooked like she was feeding an army. Everything was fresh from the garden or home canned or frozen. I miss my grandma and her cooking. I think when women started working all that got left behind. Personally I think it was the worst thing for society but I also understand why women went to work.
I’m 21 and living in America. Growing up my mother rarely made anything from scratch, and when she did actually cook something it was by adding store-bought canned and processed foods in a pot and then heating it up. But usually, it was boxed macaroni with store bought hotdogs, or frozen meals.
I love my mother dearly and I know she was very busy and tired when we were children because me dad didn’t help her, so she was doing the best we could, but now that I’m grown with my own child I crave homemade from-scratch foods.
My husband and I have been working on learning how to make everything from scratch and it’s so rewarding.
The fantastic use of spices and herbs and wonderful combinations in Indian food is so delicious!
What % of working professionals in India can afford at home cooks though or have other family members helping with household cooking or childcare? I can only speak for the US but it’s rare that any parent has anyone else helping with anything including cooking. The parents are on their own. I’d love to cook from scratch more but I have no time between work and kids. When they are older hopefully I can prioritize it
I LOVE watching you hold the lil one close to your heart while still working for your remaining family... a real mother!!
😊 thank you
I am happy to find you. I grew up in India, we rarely ate snacks and never ate out. I recall eating out twice in my life (before I went to college), once during a move, and second time when we celebrated a rich friend’s birthday. We ate seasonal fruits and grains (yes, grains are seasonal too). Now I am raising my kids in the USA, and they don’t understand what a good hungry stomach feels like, they don’t want to eat nutritious delicious food because they are full from easily available junk food everywhere. Your video is an inspiration to keep working hard to teach kids how nourishing and tasty snacks can be. I always have lara bars in my freezer and fridge, also have smoothie popscicles, frozen fruit, banana bread. Bread and butter is my go to snack too.
I love your perspective! 👏
My husband ate fast food from dhaba stalls often when he was a teen in India as he was a bottomless pit. He mom would cook 16/17 chapati for him at one time and she would finally cut him off and threaten to beat him. We are mixed and feed our kids only home food for the most part, of the mom is out of the home that’s a problem, normally why the kids start eating bad. Also, our littles little Indian spice but not hot n heavy so I make a little different tarka, chutney or pickle to add more spice for the grown ups. Using our green chilies from the garden makes a big difference too as the red chili powder gives us stomach aches like it has chemical or gmo. I notice they spray paint the cardomon green from Indian too so I am ordering my own plants to grow myself.
@@calisingh7978 you are right, once mom is working out of the house, kids start eating bad. I lived in very rural India (15 years ago) so I didn’t not experience adulterated food but I have heard stories of fake colors in vegetables and spices. Growing your own food as much as you can is the best. I like the idea of adding spice for adults using tarka, chutney/achaar, I will try this trick.
Not sure what you mean about in the past Americans didnt snack. Everyone did snack, but it wasnt processed snacks, it was more like fruit. I grew up very poor (a long time ago) where extra food was not always around in the house, but I still snacked daily. It was called picking fruit from the trees. I ate oranges, pomegranates, plums, avocados, used the lemons I picked and squeezed them over the other fruit and put a bit of salt, YUM! So running in the hills all day eating fruit from any tree I could find, I never felt hungry. Snacked all day!
You don't seem to know how expensive fruit was then and not every State had fruit trees. Not everything could be shipped everywhere especially before the railroad. But even when the railroad was introduced not every fruit could survive the train rides especially in the summer months. Maybe some wild berries were around but not much to snack on back then depending on where settlers lived. There were nut trees but again that depends on where you live. And you don't make much sense saying you were poor and had very little food in the house then say you snacked all day and was never hungry 🤔 you were not very poor then.
@@millennialodyssey5956 These are not things I bought. I was dead broke. I just found them around the neighborhood and picked them, but even in the colder climates, there are apple, peach, cheery, and crab apple trees; blueberries too. You just have to go looking.
It's called foraging bro... you don't have to be rich to forage ....
Way before people naturally fasted due to the small amount of food available so snacking def wasn't normal.
@@icidive3890what small amounts of food? Food is everywhere. You just have to know where to look and what to do. Plant a garden, grow fruit trees, get some chickens for eggs. Dont expect the govt to feed you. You'll starve.
I love this! I wish I lived this lifestyle, homesteading, making things from scratch. I live in a city though, am a single mom and don.t have the garden, the stamina and the youthful age any more.
I commend you for feeding your kids so healthily!
I have a niece that lives in the city and she has a couple of those new green stack planters on her patio. She grows strawberries in one , herbs in another and some peas and beans and wants to get the deep pocket ones to try carrots. I have 4 gardens large- big- raised stone bed and the eat me first garden. My collards just came up today 👍😊. If I lived closer I’d gladly share with you 🥰. I have hens too and don’t pay that ridiculous price for eggs
You and your child would like the activity and your children would be healthier,
Small steps ❤️ you can do great things
I'm a city mom. It's good to plant something small, like an onion, to show the kids how things grow up close. Try to hit up a farmers market now and then, or take your kid apple picking. Don't feel inadequate. We all have our unique life situations. i personally know that I'll never make any of that stuff she's making, no way! I can though simplify snacks to fruit, cheese, the like.
My life is so far from hers. I'm a working mom who is the financial provider for the family. It's interesting to see how others live, but this will never be my life. I absolutely love this for her and others who can live similarly. Not all of us have the same lifestyle, but I appreciate others who make their life the best that they can. You may not have a farm, but I bet you have some great restaurants and a plethora of fun activities nearby
I’m nearly 75 years old. We did not snack. We were allowed to have a glass of milk between meals maybe an occasional peanut butter sandwich if dinner was going to be late for some reason.
Thank you for sharing! I think a lot of people don't believe me that this is how it was for most people.
@TheFromScratchFarmhouse so many are stuck on eating constantly, so they now think it's normal and healthy for humans. If we eat the proper human diet, we won't need to snack at all.
I only have 5 kids and I struggle to just make dinner each night! 😅 I love all these ideas, and I'm super impressed that you have the ability to make 5 or so snacks, homeschool, AND clean all in the same day! 🤯 But I guess it helps that you have extra help. My husband works all day and my kids are usually busy with chores either around the house or homestead, or homeschooling. By the time they are done they just want to relax. Occasionally they might help me with dinner, but they aren't really into making extra snacks too much. I'd be trying to do it all myself with a clingy toddler fussing at my feet the whole time while also micromanaging the other 4 making sure they stay on task! 🥴😮💨
I see you mama!!!
Wow, super mom. We have four little boys and we try very hard to avoid processed sugar, gluten and dairy. We do not eat those things in the home & virtually do no snacking, but outside the home is extremely difficult with what people offer them constantly. I have been amazed at how much it has regulated their little systems to eat like we do. I LOVE watching you snack prep with your sweet baby; it is really dear. Thank you for sharing! I’m amazed.
Yes! People often comment on how well behaved my kids are and I actually think their health plays a big part in this as well. I’m glad you are enjoying my videos. ❤️
Absolutely correct. I didn’t know one friend who was heavy or overweight. Ate breakfast, lunch and dinner. No snack after school. We immediately changed and went out to play. My parents didn’t have much money, and my mom baked almost every dessert we ate. No baking, no dessert. When dinner was over, no more eating. There wasn’t a question about this. It simply wasn’t thought of. And, almost everyone I knew lived the same way.
One caveat - people walked and biked regularly. I'm much younger, but I've been trying to understand the obesity epidemic in the US. Besides the snacking, dessert for breakfast or lunch, and calorie-laden drinks all day, few people surpass 5000 steps per day. I'm currently staying at a farmhouse without farming nor tending to animals, and I still log in at least 10,000 steps every day (often more, up to 14,000 steps). I even stopped my daily "formal" workout routine because my daily life burns more calories nowadays. Before this living situation, I was totaling about 6000 steps during the cooler months and closer to 8000 steps during the warm months.
I still snack 2-3 times per day (including a beer or mixed drink about every 1-2 days), but I honestly can't gain weight because I have small meals as well. I also drink water all day long. It's amazing. The answer to the weight gain problem is to move more. Eating smaller portions and drinking mostly water helps.
We were meant to exercise all day long like our ancestors who traveled often as hunter-gatherer packs or worked the land as farmers. Our bodies aren't meant to sit or stand still all day. Even a vehicle starts having issues if it sits parked for more than a month, so why wouldn't this apply to people?
There are so many more reasons for obesity. Most of it isn't that people aren't moving, but the absolute nutrient-deficient food we are fed. Just look at other countries that done use the junk ingredients that we do.
I am also a very busy and active person, but am overweight. Over 7K steps at just 4 pm and lots more to do today. I basically just drink water. However- I'm super happy for you that it's kept you fit! Just know that because it works for you doesn't mean it's the same for everyone.
Being less active and eating snacks isn't causing obesity.
Yes, exactly!
You had me then you lost me at no baking....
@@SuperRoseknows I think she meant that if they didn’t bake they wouldn’t have dessert.
THIS is what I've been searching TH-cam for! I'm ok with a small refuelling after school, especially during growth spurts and at movie times!. But overall I'm tired of how kids are living on snacks these days and with costs rising I'm needing to homemake almost all snacks for packed school and work lunches
My parents gave us toast and a fruit protein smoothie they made when we got home from school, then we'd run out and play
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️ I totally agree.
We got a big fat carrot from the garden 😂
I’am in my 70’s and we were allowed to have a piece of fruit if we were hungry between meals , we always had some sort of dessert after our dinner and then we had a hot drink ( hot chocolate) before bed , that’s it
I can afford bananas for snacks. I have 4 young kids and 2 about to move out. There’s no way I could afford that many apples.
@@penelopegrier5073The trick is to have berry bushes and fruit trees which hobby farmers and homesteaders tend to have.
@@penelopegrier5073If you have a yard, have you considered growing a food forest? Buy the tree or bush once and eat for years.
Grow fruit trees
I like how you didn't re invent the wheel when it comes to snacks.
It's essentially the same thing except you know what you are putting in your kids bodies. I love that!
Yes! 👏 The kids also think it’s fun to have things like “poptarts” instead of “hand pies.” 😅
You are doing a wonderful job raising your family! I still think that all the stuff they put in cows, pigs, and chickens to make them grow bigger is part of the problem that has made our child develop earlier as well as causing obesity in our children. I do think you are right about snacking being a big problem with obesity also.
Oh I agree! This is part of the reason we raise all of our own meat.
Coffee Lunch is a term we use in my culture (I am Swiss). When you can't prepare Lunch but must eat something we call it "coffee complet" and this could be dinner or Lunch replacement. We would give the children a hot drink that tastes like coffee but is made from the acorn, serve Bread rolls and a latter of Ham, dried meat, and salami with a platter of a variety of cheese. As I am writing this I just found the term "café complet" is even discribed on Wikipedia 🙂
Sounds great☺️😋 I'm trying my best to make all my food by my own hand. I have been cooking all my life, but got severely derailed with COVID☹️ I saw what was coming & did all my shopping in February. Didn't wear a mask because I didn't know.... I'm still paying for it😞 We were set though! But while I was so weak & sick, seriously relied on bad bad food (I was sick for years; sure that didn't help!). I finally found a bread recipe I can make, and I'm working on making more things. Less store bought, huzzah!🎉🎉🎉
You are a freakin hero!! Like I am beyond impressed with the lifestyle that you have created for your family
Thank you!
Your kids will take this type of cooking with them into the rest of their lives and for their families!
Love your take on snacks. Spot on! Too many parents complain about their kids not eating a good meal. They aren't hungry after grazing all day. This drives me nuts. Really enjoy your channel.
Thank you! And yes, exactly! 👏
I only eat 2 larger meals with no snacking(intermittent fasting 18/5). Some of my children don't snack(were animal based eaters).
Children's stomachs aren't very big... there is nothing wrong with children who are "grazers" and eat small amounts throughout the day, when their bodies are hungry.
That's why babies have to eat 8-12 times a day. Small tummies. And they are growing. Kids do need to eat more frequently than adults. I used to feel so hungry as a kid between meals, but I'm sure my blood sugar was all out of wack.
When my kids were young, I would offer fruit or carrots and if they refused, then I knew it wasn’t true hunger, but merely cravings that was promoting them to ask for food. True hunger will cause healthy food to taste amazing! I try to incorporate this into my nanny job with some exceptions.
I am so excited to have found this channel! We've moved from the US to Ireland. The food is different. I was a bit stumped for a while as I was adjusting about how to improve our food routine. Now that we are more settled it's the right time to make improvements. I am taking inspiration. You are doing some truly amazing things! Thank you. - Kim
God bless you! 10 kids! Common sense! Smart, articulate, giving, intelligent - you are the real deal! Love your channel and thank you for keeping it real and sharing so much with everyone! Canning, garden, homemaking - I don't know how you have the time to do all this with 10 kids, too! :) :) :)
Go mamma!! You are amazing, what a blessed household 🙏
I love the way you are holding your baby and rocking yourself the whole time while you're speaking into the camera. ❤Reminded me of when my kids were small. Its such a natural Instinct 😊
Love the content in your video. Very informative and makes one think in a healthier direction. Thank you 😊
Mum cooked 3 meals everyday and on weekends/holidays snacks for our big family and many times for grands and gardening people
Natural food, organic
Eating out was rare and carefully picked or catered places during events
No candy fast food or wheat or milk or all the rubbish that's been fed in some places
Very good health, fun experience growing up and to-date her food and our family food are our favs
Love it! ❤️
I am so happy to come across your videos. You are truly an inspiration to moms who love their families. Maria from Malta in the Mediterranean sea.
Thank you. So glad you found me! ❤️
My mom always had something for when we got home from school. I also followed this with my kids. I don’t think there is anything wrong with snacks. It wasn’t processed food.
This totally makes sense if there is big gap between meals! We eat lunch around noon and dinner around 4:30 so it really isn’t a big deal most days.
My mom used to have a banana and graham crackers in the fifties when I was a kid.. or an apple that was it !
1 cup prechopped Almonds
1 cup pecans
2 cup dates
1 tsp Vanilla
Handful of Chocolate chips
I agree with you on less snacking makes for better eating at meal times. Love your well stocked, healthy snack options. Your baby is so cute! He’s getting so big. 🙂 You are an amazing Mom. Thank you for sharing your recipes. ❤️🙏🏻Val C
Thank you! Yes, our sweet baby is getting bigger by the day.
Well of course it does... the children and adults eat a lot when they are very hungry. However, that's not really teaching very healthy eating habits.
Good work mom. I pray the GOD give you more strength and energy to do this .
I always got the best, most innovative, grocery store, snacks growing up and really wanted to be a snot about these homemade snacks. But your methods and sweet disposition remind me of parents of friends of mine that I would visit. They didn’t have a lot of money, but were so warm, farmy and inviting. At 46 I have a core memory of Michelle‘s mom making us a simple brown grocery bag full of popcorn while we watched fireworks on a blanket, it was the best most exciting thing ever!🥹
I’d like to add you can make paleo banana/pumpkin/blueberry etc mini muffins and freeze them and they are a quick breakfast. You can also do this with pancakes. Typically I food process oatmeal for the grains. Another snack my toddler loves is raw, sea salted pumpkin seeds from Costco. They sell a huge bag that lasts forever!
The title alone instantly had me intrigued!!!! Mom of 2 here and hopefully one day many more children and we spend a fortune at Costco
We definitely started saving HUGE amounts of money when we gave up Costco!
You are amazing baking with your baby. Well, you are the best!
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Finally! Somebody that cooks!
What people call "cooking" is just an assembly of canned and boxed items laden with salt, sugar and chemicals. I still cook for my bubble buddy group a spillover from the pandemic.
I'm getting major Farmhouse on Boone vibes from you! That's a huge compliment! 😊
You're a Supermama. 👍
I don't know why this is so mind-blowing to me. You have convinced me that it might be worth the extra effort to make these snacks. They look so yummy, my child might actually eat them.
Yay! I hope you love them! 👏
I'm impressed by your canned goods and your garden!! We learned to can peaches last year. We are able to grow good onions, tomatoes and jalapenos now (salsa garden minus the cilantro). We're learning to grow lettuce this year, and cucumbers so we can learn to can cucumbers. We got backyard chickens and learned how to care for them for the eggs when there was the egg shortage. I've always loved to cook and bake. I'm diabetic now, so doing things from scratch is more important than ever. I'm betting I can learn all kinds of things from you!! So glad your page came through my feed. 😊❤
Thank you for sharing about not daily snacking!! We had to cut out snacks as our toddlers grew into preschoolers/kindergarteners because we found they were not eating their full, well-rounded meals, but rather just waiting for their snacks (fruit, crackers, etc). For us it was the importance of 3 square meals vs intermittent snacking throughout the day. I know there's evidence to support both digestive arguments, but we went with what feels best to us.
I totally agree! 🙌
Growing up in the 60s and 70s we didn't really snack . We ate 3 meals a day, and once in a great while we had home made popcorn while watching a family show on tv. As we got into our teens we did need a snack after school because we were growing so fast. Even now as an adult, snacking isn't much of a thing, usually only when we are very busy
Yes! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤️
Watching you with your sweet babe brought tears to my eyes. I have teenagers and a 3 year old and miss those days dearly, even if my last one wasn't very long ago! Thanks for sharing this video.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’m definitely enjoying these precious baby days. ❤️
Your baby is living his best life haha very cool video.
Thank you. I agree with you about snacking. My kids are definately not picky eaters. I appreciate the recipes, thanks
You are welcome and thanks for watching!
@TheFromScratchFarmhouse I really like the homemade pop tarts. Have to watch that one again you shared. I have been making the balls already. Thank you for sharing
Thank you ❣ You are so wise. For the past decade, we've tried to cut any sort of additives. Honestly, it's trickier than I imagined. Making my own is so much more cost effective... and yummier❣
A new subscriber from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤
Thank you, I agree that it can be difficult to do! Thanks for subbing. ❤️
I so appreciate your lack of rigidity and some sort of perfectionist aura that can be all too pervasive on mom blogs. You also give me enthusiasm for keeping my family well cares for. I subscribed and shared. It’s refreshing to see someone make their routine workable but also grace for not being ridged
I really appreciate you sharing these recipes and taking such great care for your family ❤️🤗
Thank you so much ❤️
So true about snacks Stacy. This was such a good video. Ty so much. Little Luke is growing so fast.
Thank you! Yes, he sure is. 😭
Good God. All you do is cook momma. Kudos to you. I bet it's all really delicious. When my only child was little all I did for a few years was cook too. Then she got older and spa was our mommy daughter thing. I like watching momma's cook. It's nostalgic.
Thank you. I cook a lot, but what I don't often show here is that I'm not the only one in the kitchen. I definitely have a lot of help from my husband and kids.
First of all, your baby is literally the cutest baby!!!!
I loved all of this but definitely don’t have the time to do all of that. I wish we had a huge garden for my kids to forage in! I would call that snacking. I’m sure it’s different in winter for them though. We just had to downsize our space while homeschooling and I’m trying to figure out how to go back to natural cooking like I use to while unpacking and homeschooling.
These are great. I just shared your. Lara balls with my daughter and I'm going to be saving these recipes and giving them a try. I'll have them handy when the grandkids come to visit. They are not processed food snackers either so I want to have as many things ready as possible. Thank you so much. This is amazing.
Yay, glad you loved the recipes. Enjoy!
I love making energetic snacks. Nuts, dates, figs, dried apricot, raisins or craisins,peanut butter or Al and butter, chia, ground flax, honey, oatmeal or 9 grain mix, sometimes cocoa, or coconut. You make balls and roll them in powdered milk, or sugar, or coconut,or crushed nuts…lots of options.
Sounds great!
I've been searching for an unprocessed granola bar recipe for a looong time. Thank you!
So happy to see this. Congratulations ❤
You are such a good mama. I have 6 children and I just subscribed. Hallelujah Acres also have wonderful whole food recipes! 😋
Wonderful ❤ thank you so much for these medley of recipes. I am actually going to use your video for cooking class in homeschool for my daughter. She will enjoy making these with me.
I love that idea! Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful, and inspirational. Good job!
Thank you so much!
I’m in Australia, my parents were from the UK and we were a family of 10. We ‘snacked’ as soon as we got home from school because we were active all day 60+ years ago, and needed refuelling by 3pm. Our ‘snacks’ were fresh fruit in season, or fruit tarts/pies made from home preserved fruits. I was a teenager before I tasted a sugar lolly (candy) and in my 20’s when I first ate a salty processed snack. I’d still rather have a piece of fruit or a homemade fruit tart - my palate and preferences were trained by my childhood foods. I still need a fuel top up at 3pm 😊
Thank you for sharing this. I’m kind of confused reading these comments about how people didn’t have snacks growing up. Are they comparing to high amounts of packaged snacks and have a narrow definition of snack? Are these people just not eating for 4-7 hours at a time? With no tea or fruit? I wouldn’t have gotten through the day as a child without some fruit, veggies, nuts, biscuits or toast after school and at morning tea. Especially as a child. Children have little stomachs and are outputting so much energy physically and mentally!
I am amazed!! You are a true inspiration for us all here dear!! God bless you and the little ones 😊❤️
Thank you. ❤️
You can make the no-bake cookie balls without any kind of blender, just stirring by hand. You may need to add more sticky stuff if there is too much dry at the bottom of the mixing bowl until you get the hang of it, I never had a blender and made them often for my kids.
I don't think it's the snacking, but what you snack and how much you snack. If you eat a simple sandwich, you'll be full with less and for longer. If you eat addicting food that is full of sugar, you'll want more and more.
It’s the snacking
@@lhartwig2354 I don't think so. My generation grew up with simple sandwiches with butter and cheese,cucumber and tomato for snack, and the other snack was fruit. We run around a lot, rode bicycles, played lot of physical games, that were like exercise. There was rarely a fat or an obese kid, and if there was obese it was because they had some other issue.
Amazon cook and Mom ❤ the dedication you have for your family is beautiful!!!
God bless you.. Thank you so much..
A big kiss to the cute baby..
I loved this way if carrying him.. The following is for you , me & every mother.. the Pediatrician TOLD US..THAT BABY'S HEAD MUST BE KEPT SUPPORTED ALL THE TIME ON OUR ARM AS LONG AS HIS IS IN THIS AGE.. That's why the way you carry him while his head is supported by the cloth is much better than what we do.. BUT WE ALL SHOULD LIMIT THE DURATION WE CARRY OUR BABIES IN FRONT OF US..AS THEY NEED THEIR BACK SUPPORTED ON OUR ARM WHEN THEY ARE VERY LITTLE LIKE THIS . Also take care for your own safety regarding your back while you are carrying the baby ''s weight in front of you...your fingers while using the kitchen objects. . Keep both of you away from the oven. .
Love you. .Thank you again for these wonderful snacks. ... It was really very kind of you. .❤
❤️❤️
This woman is Amazing! I feel so inadequate 😂
Hahaha, well thanks! 😘
Me too lol but I want to start
Wow! I admire you so much! Thank you for sharing your time with us.
Thanks for watching! ❤️
Enjoyed watching your video, thank you for taking time to share with others. I am a major snacker... so... wanting to do better now that I have seen this. TY! Also, thank you @MoreThanFarmers for sharing the collaboration list so I could find this new channel.
The british used to have afternoon (high) tea to tide them over til dinner time
Afternoon and high tea are two different things. Afternoon tea was things like toast, crumpets, maybe a light sandwich like cucumber and perhaps fruit cake or seed cake. (Modern Afternoon tea is all sorts of little cakes and savouries, you wouldn't eat a full evening meal after that and its more of a treat thing, mothers day, birthdays etc.). It was served in aristocratic households as the evening meal was served very late. High tea is a much heartier affair, typical on farms etc where people were working hard on the land all day. Served late afternoon or early evening you would get bread and butter, maybe boiled potatoes, cold cooked meat such as ham or tongue, boiled eggs, cheese,pickles, sometimes a cold cutting pie like pork,game or corned beef and potato,and probably a fruit pie or cake of some kind as well. You didn't get an evening meal after that. Maybe a slice of toast before bed, but farmers went to bed early as they had to get up and deal with milking, animal feeding etc. so usually nothing more after high tea.
Yeah, when I was a child (40 now) high tea in Ireland was bread and butter with cold meat, boiled egg, lettuce etc in summer, potato salad
Wow!! Incredible pantry, and amazing snack recipes. You're so organized!! I love your comments about snacking. This video has definitely inspired us to change our snacks. I'm inspired also by your big storage jars with the gold lids. Can you tell me where you got those? I'm totally re doing our pantry like yours. Thanks again!
I am from family of 11 🤓 plus my parents it’s 13 total ….. my parents never knew what is feeding family healthy actually so most of us had low immunity system and constantly was sick till we all grew up and took the journey to healthy lifestyle to never sick again 🙃.
Oh wow, how interesting! Thanks for sharing and glad you have figured out the way to get healthy. ❤️
That’s really interesting. Would you mind sharing what kind of things you ate as a child that you no longer eat much of?
you are so right young lady.. snacking was not a thing when i was a child.
You are absolutely amazing! 💜
Thank you! ❤️
This video was awesome! As a health conscious mom I love your ideas of preparing homemade snacks. Very inspiring. And your baby is so adorable! Thank you for sharing!
That was amazing! I just found your channel and I made farmers cheese because that’s what I was looking for this morning. I had goat milk so I used goat milk. We will see how it taste, I did watch all of your video on making snacks and I was very impressed to make some of these to have on hand for my grandkids thank you so much. Your videos are very well-made and simple to follow.

Thank you for sharing your experience and healthy alternative ways to snack.
I see even on a video like this there are so many people who have to take a tone in the comment / reply section bantering back and forth.
😬🤦🏾♀️🫤
Sometimes I see why some people turn their comments off.
May God continue to place a hedge of protection over you and your family amen.🫂🙏🏾❤️✝️
Thank you! Yes, it continues to amaze me what people will say. 😅 Thanks for your support. ❤️
My dad was born in 1941, and he said that food out all day if someone was hungry. It was usually biscuits.
I’m a grazer. I fill up quickly but get hungry fast. So for my specific body type snacking is important. I’m also not overweight. I think it’s important to listen to your body and not associate snacking with being bad.
I totally agree that it is very individual. And like I said, we do snack (hence the video 😅) just not like the average American. I will say though that how often we get hungry is often based on what our stomach is used to.
WOW these are AMAZING. What a super mama ❤
Thank you!
I’ve no kids, but God help me, I’m a snacker, but my doc told me earlier this year my A1C is heading towards pre diabetic and I need to watch what I eat, I’m a pretty healthy eater at mealtime, I don’t drink juice or soda, but I find that through out the day, between meals I snack a lot, chocolate, cookies and chips, everything sweet and/or salty😭
I’m thankful my phone send me to you, I just sub and I’ll be making a few of these non processed snacks, the ball one I know will be my first try😍 thank you!
I'm not married and I have no children of my own, but I'm out a lot and I have a tendency to go where I have to without having breakfast. (NOT an early riser!) Ever since I got my instant pot, I have enjoyed making medium or soft boiled eggs so much more, and I'll throw those in the fridge and have them later. Even soft-boiled eggs that are pulled out of the refrigerator are just awesome because I love the yolks runny! Throw a couple in my purse along with a fruit roll and the beef stick for church because my ride to church has to be there a lot earlier than I have to, so I have time to sit and eat those things once I get there. And that's just one example in my case! 😊☕️
I've definitely been changing it up. If my kids are hungry they can eat a piece of fruit or a cheese stick. I don't buy crackers or other processed foods anymore. I also homeschool them, so it helps that we're together all day.
Awesome! 👏
You are AMAZING! Very inspiring!!
Another family of ten here! Your "snacking" title caught my eye because we don't buy packaged snacks either. Can't wait to try out your granola recipe (and share with a friend who has been hunting for a good one) :)
Wow momma! you are amazing. thank you for the fun ideas I can do for and with my kids. you are doing such a great job.
You are amazing! The potato chips are so much work! Thanks for sharing❤
this was awesome to watch :) The kids expression at the end was so cute. trying not to smile to big hee hee, so nonchalant 😅
😂 Glad you enjoyed it!
I have just found you!! Im always running put of snacks and running to the food ahop. Thank you this is definitely going to help the pocket!! Shalum
Nice job! I recently started baking snacks in bigger perpotions, especially trying to be Sunday morning ready,( I have 7 children) and recently had a recipe for oatmeal raisin cookie bars that I could substitute with honey and half wheat, perfect for a dig out of the freezer, warm up and everyone is satisfied,kind of deal ! Love all the good ideas !
Great video. I am actually a picky eater (63 years old), but my mom said first time she fed me potatoes i spit them back out. I still don’t like any form of potatoes 😂 (and many other things), still picky, but not quite as picky as when i was younger.
1:31 exactly! This is why One Meal A Day is a great “diet” but it help keep the body primitive as it should be. Keeping metabolism up and keeping your body regular when expelling toxins and material. Just as you said “we don’t snack” there is no time or need for a bag of Lays Netflix and 16 hours on ya butt! Breakfast lunch and dinner. Between them may be a banana/handful of fruit or nuts, homemade jerky, bread or muffin, 2 homemade cookies…. Finally if we can not make it we do not eat it. If I don’t have ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies then we don’t have chocolate chip cookies🤷🏼♂️
You are a super mom:) Your children are blessed!
Thank you! ❤️
This is going to be so helpful. I'm not looking to homestead but my son has severe allergies to eggs, dairy and nuts so packaged products are almost always off limits for us! As he starts to eat table food I'm definitely going to be needing new recipes!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this, I have 5 young ones at home and this is useful for me.. My kiddos are grazers and like to have a few snacks. Much appreciated.
I’m so glad it was helpful!
I love these ideas! ❤
Your baby is cute 😍
Glad I found you! We have 6 kiddos and love cooking from scratch!
I make a great carrots cake balls with dates , grated carrots, spices and nuts ,oats and roll in coconut
That sounds amazing!
That sounds so yummy
Growing up, school had lunch ridiculously early. In order to allow Mom to have dinner ready at a typical time where no one got hungry before bed, we needed a daily, small snack. We tried to stick to a small healthy one, but mistakes happen.
YOU. ARE. AWESOME! Thank you for such a relatable and amazing video! Such a loving mama, and so much inspiration for us mamas starting out at cooking snacks from scratch! Thank you! xxx
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video.
