Large Family What We Eat In A Day

- Being at home all day every day homeschooling the kids means I need to put 3 square meals on the table every day. It sounds like a big task, and some days it feels like it. But most days it's just part of our rhythm and not too big of a deal since I'm always thinking at least one day ahead regarding food and prepping for one or two meals ahead. Today was just a typical day at home with a simple, high-protein breakfast and a big pot of soup for lunch that lasted a few meals. I had planned to make meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and cheesy broccoli for dinner but the baby was sick so I just used the soup we had for lunch for dinner as well and made my meatloaf dinner the next day.

John's Grandma's Meatloaf Recipe:
6 slices sandwich bread
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 T Worcestershire sauce
2 t salt
1/2 t pepper
1 t garlic powder
1 t onion powder
1 t Italian seasoning
2 lb ground beef
Soak the bread slices in 1 cup of milk in a mixing bowl for 10 minutes, then add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Transfer into a standard cast iron skillet.
Meatloaf Sauce
2/3 cup ketchup
2 T brown sugar
1 t Worcestershire
Mix all sauce ingredients and pour over the unbaked meatloaf. Bake at 375F for 50 minutes.
One Pot Mashed Potatoes:
This is very easy! Not really a precise recipe, just peel and dice. your potatoes, add to a dutch oven with 1T of butter per lb of potatoes, then cover 3/4 way with milk. Simmer on low until potatoes mash easily. Do not drain, just mash them in the pot and season with salt and pepper to taste. If you want to really jazz them up, add a few T of cream cheese, some garlic, and herbs!
Yes yes yes! Love when you mentioned "first world problems". Trying to raise our kids to be content and grateful for what God blesses us with. No complaints, just thanksgiving ❤️
Yes! So many poor souls would love to have the daily dilemmas we do 🙏🏼
I was just googling this the other day! "Did people in the past eat the same meal every day?" pretty much.
This kind of video is never boring ❤ despite how many of them I have already watched. So big thanks 😊
Thank you! ❤️
Love these videos. That baby is having a time of his life with the fridge door😂
And I love the kitchen layout ❤
Haha yes it’s his latest trick, opening and closing the fridge!
I saw that too! When my kids did that, they always immediately started pulling stuff off the door shelves so I had to train them not to open the doors.
@@HopewellHeightsworse thing about leaving the fridge open…..cost a lot of energy recooling the inside…..
My husband loved chicken and rice soup. I usually boil the chicken and use the water for the soup. I may have to roast the chicken next time and so dumplings instead of rice.
I like watching you cook. I cook a lot from scratch but fun to watch how other people cook.
Also! I LOVE your kitchen!
Love “first world problem” ❤️🌲and how you mentioned how you pick what the children will eat
Thank you for sharing your beautiful family. It so nice to see.❤❤😊
Biscuit dumplings are the ONLY way. Haha love this and great tip on freezing. Another tip for cleaning flour up along with that amazing bench scraper is the NORWEX mesh cloth. It’s great for all things hand washing and picking up butter and flour. And it can be put in dishwasher if needed or laundry. :)
Your hair looks so good!! That soup looked delicious - definitely adding that to the ‘to cook’ list.
Hope you like it!
So excited to see the food storage room come into being!!!
I can’t wait!!!
Never get tired with your videos.I love watching your cooking.something about these that is calming.thank you.I learn so much.praying for the baby to feel better
Thank you! ❤️
I'm celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today I started this journey with $4k have invested on time and also with the right tearn now I have time for my family and the life ahead of me
please how? am still a newbie on investment trading
I really wonder how people make huge profit investing in stocks and crypto
all you need as a beginner to make good profit from Bitcoin or stock is a professional trader who will trade on your behalf else you may make losses
ever since i came across bitcoin trader.Mrs Erin. my life have totally changed. yours can also change it's just a matter of commitment and focus
i have heard a lot about investment with Erin and how good she is, please how safe are the profits?
Another wonderful video! Thank you so much! Meatloaf is always a hit at our home too. I hope you and your beautiful family are feeling well soon 🥰
I love watching your videos. Don’t know where you get your energy from!
I make the same kind of breakfast "omelet." They are so great because you can throw in whatever veggies, cheeses, and meat you have.
I’m team biscuit dumpling also😂. Once again, many thanks for your time and content. Love your use of “first world problem”…used to say exact same thing to remind our kids (and ourselves) when they were growing.
Such an important perspective to remember in our blessed lives!
I have loved every one of your videos. I can’t wait to try your biscuit dumplings and John’s grandma’s meatloaf recipe is on the menu for tonight! Thanks again!
Hope you like it!
Could have very easily been a swap of the tongue, but a tip from a PreK-12th school receptionist who does printing for the building- cut, then laminate the cards. Cut them out and place with, if the laminator seals well and close to edges, like 1/8-1/4” between each card. Then laminate and cut again. It seals the edges of every item you laminate and greatly increases durability of that item.
(Works for literally any shape. We do cutout Bible stories and other things like leaves and art projects too bc lamination seals in glitter.)
Just a tip, hope this helps anyone doing lots of homeschool lamination items ❤
I like how you said you cut the veggies small so the kids don’t pick them out, that’s so true cause I usually cut them bigger so they can pick things out if they don’t like something thinking hopefully they will eat the other things but your right I’m helping them pick them out when I cut them big, duh… genius now I’ll cut the veggies small!
2 of my kiddos didn't eat beans but they ate gravy. I use to smash them down and add them back to the pot of beans. I would feel them that they only had to eat 3 beans. Worked like a charm. They now eat regular beans. 😅
Hope you’re all feeling better!!
I made “John’s Grandma’s Meatloaf” recipe last night using a mix of ground beef & lamb & oh my goodness it was the best meatloaf I’ve ever made! I also added half a chopped onion. This will now be my go to recipe from here on out :) Thanks so much for sharing!
Good morning happy Wednesday morning and I just wanted to say that you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of all of you
Thank you!
Hope your darling kitty has a warm barn to sleep in at night. Can't wait to see the food storage area.
My mom's dumplings were more like pie crust than biscuits. She said they were very 'short'. She used either shortening or lard. She rolled the dough out & she cut them into squares or rectangles or diamonds or triangles, whatever shape she felt like making. She thought drop dumplings were horrible & wouldn't make them like that. Also, when making the soup, she would break the largest bones in half so that the marrow would cook into the soup. Her whatever & dumpling soups were always awesome.
I love the totes you are using to organize the kids gifts!
I love lots of natural sunlight, too!😍
Such a game changer when you spend lots of time in the home!
Thank you for these wonderful recipes 😊 Hope you and baby Ernie feel better 😊
Thank you!
You're very welcome ☺️
Thank you for your video. I love your honesty and integrity. You are a wonderful example of realistic motherhood. Your channel helps make motherhood more mainstream hopefully encouraging more women to feel good about their choice to also stay home to raise their kids.
Enjoying your videos immensely, even though you eat very differently from the way my family does. I appreciate your insight on how to insert necessary life activities into the most important task, which is mothering.
Your kitchen, and house in general, are beautiful. I am curious about your kitchen layout. Have you ever considered doing a video on how you designed your kitchen, layout dimensions, appliance placement etc., how you feel it works for you, and if you had it to do over again, what you would change?
We use biscuit dumplins in blackberrys and blackberry juice, same with grape and grape juice in a pot as if making chicken dumplins. You just add sugar , some butter and a dash of vanilla if you want , delicious
Love your videos they are very relaxing to watch. Your soup looks delicious. I make meatloaf a couple different ways but my favorite is a barbecue meatloaf.
Oh that sounds delicious!
Thank you so much for sharing about the book for reading. I also have 1 of my 10 children having a big struggle wanting to read and having patience to. I think that book would be amazing for her to really get into phonics much easier!
I get so disappointed every time your videos end because I have to wait a whole week for a new one!! I love how you cook. I hope you get to feeling better!
You have 1 lucky family! Love these videos. What a cute little guy. ❤💚
I love your little toddler experimenting with the fridge :)
I just made the soup tonight. I tweaked it a little bit but it was awesome. It really reminded me of my chicken pot pie in soup form. I make a biscuit topping for the pot pie so it was very similar
This video is great! I love your kitchen!!!❤
Just discovered your site-what a great homemaker/mama. I really enjoyed watching the food segment!
Thanks so much! 😊
I've never heard of biscuit dumplings, definitely gonna try this in my next soup❤
Sour dough everything is the best😊 my kids love chicken and dumplins too❤ biscuit dumplins are what I make too... like my mom does.😊
The ultimate comfort food!
HAPPY Wednesday! Thanks for all things. STTB*SHARED TO THE BURGH*Pittsburgh PA
Hi! I am commenting from my husbands account again(: I just love your videos and way of living. It is such a goal of ours! Fellow trad Catholic😊
Loveeee your cutting board
Oh my goodness,I'm use to my granny's German farina dumplings,but youres looks incredible!!!I'm so excited to make youres.Thank you for sharing.
Ohh German dumplings sound so interesting!
@@HopewellHeights it's 2 cups of farina and 6 eggs.stir well,pat down.let sit maybe 3-5 min.a regular teaspoon full into you're chicken soup stock.let boil for 15 to 20 min.very good
Thank you for showing us. I'll order. She is very auditory but big colorful simple cards may help. She reads but it is very hard.
Keep at it momma, keep searching. I feel ur pain-ur helplessness.
See my comment above for info.
It’s tough when you have one with special needs but there’s usually a creative solution to help them! ❤️
Your biscuit recipe is THE BEST EVER
Thank you for another beautiful video, your style of both cooking and homeschooling (and child rearing) is sooo similar to mine ☺️ The soup looks amazing, I’m going to add this to the repertoire. Please tell me where you got that gorgeous huge white bowl you had the cooked chicken in??
I love your channel!
You process your own hogs?
How about your own chickens?
Is there any chance on doing a video on this subject?
We are definitely interested.
I know TH-cam has guidelines about these things.
I would enjoy a chat about this process.
Thanks so much for sharing!
So appreciate that you are unashamed of the Gospel.......God bless
Also learning to just cook healthy nutrient densed food and just serve my kids over and over knowing that they eventually will learn to eat what I make then so I don’t have picky eaters!
I’ve been loving raw milk hot chocolate with homemade marshmallows 😍
I have made so many healthy changes for my family thanks to you and I make so so much more from scratch ❤.... also your hair looks absolutely gorgeous what do you use on it xx
Thank you! ❤️
I live in the south, i thought all dumplings were biscuit 😂
Holy cow..that soup looks delicious!!!
It’s our fave as far as soup!
Enjoyed the video
Secret stories worked very well with my daughter that has dyslexia and auditory processing disorder. So if it works well with kids that have a reading disability it will work wonders with kids that don’t.
Your glasses are so cute!
Your the prettiest pregnant woman I’ve seen, love your channel hon
Ok so…
1. Some people are just wrong 🤣🤣🤣🤣
2. It’s not a problem to have too many Bibles!!!!
LOL I'm a meticulous "dicer" of veggies no matter the intended use. I just like them that way.
Hi, I didn’t see the link to the secret stories.
They are just wrong😂😂😂😂
My chicken dumpling soup is different. Like you I have always liked using roasted chicken but I make drop dumplings and my main veggies are chopped mushrooms and some spinach. While I still mince up onions, celery and a single carrot they are much smaller chunks than yours so that they pretty much disintegrate when done cooking. My kids would be always compete to see who had the most interesting shaped dumpling (mixed to the same consistency of drop biscuits). When the kids were young I transitioned to the less traditional veggies as a way to expand their veggies consumption beyond the standard 5.
Secret Stories link?😊
When are you due to have the baby? I find it admirable that you left your fertility in God's hands. Highly commendable.
YOUR BABY IS BEAUTIFUL🙂
My daughter has eye brain connection issues. She was a 24 week preemie. She is doing ogdan gillingham. I may need the secret stories
The big cards and color contrast truly was a game changer for my child with vision impairment!
Not sure if my question got missed. But I was wondering what your water canister is called in your kitchen. Sorry if I missed your answer. ❤
I homeschool but never am I that organized. lol and never do I think I'll ever be.
Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous! How did you get those curls like that?
Thanks! Just a big barrel curling iron
First world problem lol. I always think about how Laura and Mary ate salt pork and biscuits pretty much every day on the trail. No complaints
But fat n carbs is not a complete diet. (Salt pork is a hunk of fat with a bit of meat attached) They survived but we want our families to thrive.
Eggs, cheese & meat for the win!
Pioneers also had a lot of problems in childbirth that could have been prevented by adequate nutrition that’s very hard when ur nomadic and then scraping out a life from the dirt. They sacrificed in ways they didn’t even know they were choosing.
Right?! Or the Christmas they Ma got a few sweet potatoes!
Thank you for the ideas! Can I ask where you got your tea kettle?
It was my husbands grandmas, it’s rusted on the inside so I don’t actually use it - I just like having her things in my kitchen, she was a wonderful lady! ❤️
@@HopewellHeights 💕💕
I see you are wearing a support band. Is that something you had to do with any other pregnancies? I am 28 weeks with #4 and I feel like I am falling apart lately. My other 3 pregnancies were easy-breezy but this go round I am feeling it! Thanks for sharing!
Yes I totally forgot I had it on while filming and then forgot to say something when I edited the video. I started feeling a lot of pelvic pressure with baby #3 so I wish I’d have started wearing one then. I wear it when I’m on my feet a lot and it is so helpful! Just a few hours a day
@@HopewellHeights with my third, who was over 9 pounds at birth, and that’s with me losing more weight than I gained in this pregnancy so I can imagine what she would have weighed had I been able to eat- I kept having to hold up my belly when walking for at least the last month. I literally felt like she was falling out of me. I’m only 5-4 lol
They probably had these pregnancy bands back in 89 but I’m not sure about that, as my midwife didn’t even suggest it, and she was on top of things always.
Now that I think about it though, that baby she was again also pregnant at the same time, several months behind me, and had hyperemesis gravidarum so at my birth, she was having to go into the bathroom and throw up-like a number of times. Having had HG for almost all my babies, I felt bad for her but she just kept sipping on Ginger Brew and nibbling crackers. I couldn’t have done it I don’t think!
#whatwouldwedowithoutmidwives
Which bible please
Biscuit dumplings 100%
Where did you get your cutting board or dough board?
It was a gift from my mom and she bought it at a local antique shop!
Somebody learned how to open the refrigerator lol 😊
Haha yes that is his latest trick having moved on from the light switches!
@@HopewellHeights I love it. 🥰
Pliss you birth video❤
Why are the glasses so big?
