Great haul from the food bank. I grow Collards and we just chop them up and mix in our salads. I've also just steam them for about 10 mins and topped with some butter, salt and pepper. I freeze some to add to omelets or soups. Eggplant Parm comes to mind for that awesome haul of Eggplant.
No worries we all fully understand, financial hardship, sorry for late,night message were up cause the littles are teething and cutting teeth . Thanks for your wealth of information about free,food banks , it’s soo wonderful to have your understanding .. Our family is struggling too My husband is not working at all his disabling condition has gotten worse so working isn’t an option We live with my mom that’s a blessing.. By the way our family never had vegan cheese do a review, on it if your able to.. Sending Much love from Angie and the crew ❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊 it’s definitely a struggle. I know we will get through the hardship. I’m sorry to hear you all are struggling as well. So awesome to have your mom’s support and blessings.
Happy Thanksgiving .There are a lot of food recalls out there not just lunch meat. Beef, chicken and even some produce have recalls . So just keep your eye out to them .
Thank you! Yes, you are right. We are aware of the recalls. It is a shame, but I am always checking. I always try to hear my good up using the stove or oven and not relying on the microwave just in case. Then I know it’s getting hot enough to kill any potential bacteria on it. It’s a shame with all of the recalls.
Happy Thanksgiving, My husband has learned to cook delicious greens from the bag like that using, olive oil and stock for the base flavor and then your favorite spice blend. We like hot peppers, but your young ones might not need that. My husband is not a cook, but I have been physically challenged and he is learning. They turn out great every time. Stay safe. about 45 minutes cooking time.
The collards or turnips greens use a smoke ham hock or if you have a ham bone in the freezer use it use a little bit of your bacon grease to season it put a tablespoon or sugar in the greens use broth to cook them in
I think collard greens are the same as what we call spring greens here. I just cook them the same way as I would cook kale, so quick steam or sautee, but I know Americans boil them for hours!
I bet. With everyone struggling and the holidays upon us. More than ever are relying on the food banks to help. I’m so thankful for our food pantry. Much love to you.
I would say what does raspberries and that raspberry drink and make it into a smoothie so they don't waste or add them to the blueberries and do the same do the kids will like them better if you had a drop too add a drop or two of honey
Had a friend gift us some canned salmon so salmon patties are in our future. Not on any assistance or pantries but the budget is most thankful for $20 of meat. Oh my. People are talking $50+ per person for Thanksgiving dinner. Claiming turkeys and hams are $80 and hundreds to pick up a cooked turkey and stuffing. What?!? Surely they're exaggerating? They obviously don't shop were regular people do. How hard is it to put a turkey in the oven and walk away for a few hours? One year, our 9 year old at the time, wanted Thanksgiving so decided she'd make the entire dinner from scratch by herself (I was sick and bedridden for 6 weeks). There was a turkey in the freezer from the year before and she found enough in the pantry. It came out perfect. Thankfully, she had hubby take the turkey out of the oven for her. Friends, have a Happy Thanksgiving!
I was so happy to gift the salmon to my brother. If you were close enough I would gift it to you. I just don’t like the salmon and no one in the house eats it. I agree they must not be shopping where is regular people shop. I was blessed to get the turkey from work as we get one every year. I had most items needed in my cupboards and pantry as well. No need to spend money that we don’t have on unnecessary food items for a meal that is meant to be enjoyed with others. I agree…. How hard is it to cook a turkey? I actually cooked mine over night as to also help by using the power during the off peak time.
Happy Thanksgiving and great haul!!!🦃❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!!!
Great haul!! I love fresh produce.
Thank you! I was so happy with the amount of fresh produce they had available this time around.
Great haul from the food bank. I grow Collards and we just chop them up and mix in our salads. I've also just steam them for about 10 mins and topped with some butter, salt and pepper. I freeze some to add to omelets or soups. Eggplant Parm comes to mind for that awesome haul of Eggplant.
Thanks! I love getting tips on using produce. It's so inspiring to think of new ways to use what I have! Thank you 😊
Wonderful blessing!
It truly is, thank you for watching.

Cook everything on the stove or in the oven. Don't trust heating foods in the microwave as it probably won't heat it hot enough or long enough.

Thank you very much
I got a flat of grape tomatoes once and made some wonderful tomato sauce.
That’s awesome! I love finding new ways to use up the items from the food pantry. I think I will turn these into some sauce as well!!!

Thank you for that suggestion. I have no problem trying them a different way. As of right now I do not like them…. Lol
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family ❤❤

Hey Amber
Hi!!
You can can the tomatoes. While.
Thank you 😊 never thought to can them whole.
Our food banks weren't open today. They won't open until Monday.
The food banks were very busy yesterday.
I bet. With everyone struggling and the holidays upon us. More than ever are relying on the food banks to help. I’m so thankful for our food pantry. Much love to you.
Glad to see you drink coffee. I drink coffee 24/7
Right?! Coffee is essential! I love my coffee ☕️
I would say what does raspberries and that raspberry drink and make it into a smoothie so they don't waste or add them to the blueberries and do the same do the kids will like them better if you had a drop too add a drop or two of honey
That is a lot of eggplant.
Yes it is…. Now to get creative!!!
You need to cook your greens with some kind of smoked meat and it take several hours to cook them.
I've never thought of adding smoked meat to my greens - thanks for the suggestion!

What's wrong with drinking coffee.
Even some of our food banks give out small bags of coffee.
Absolutely nothing wrong with drinking coffee!!!! ☕️ I too drink it all the time.
Happy Thanksgiving !
