    As a beekeeper, may i suggest that you add raw honey to cooled down recipes. By staying 110 F and below, you won't be killing off all the good nutrition. That would also include hot teas, oatmeal, etc. 😊

    • @jeanmuehlfelt7942
      @jeanmuehlfelt7942 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

      @silverdreamss93 I generally don't bake with it because of the high temps. Added tip: Honey also has a lower glycemic load than sugar but still needs limited use by diabetics.

      Can you use honey if you bake the nuts in a lower temp for a little longer?

    Something I keep on hand in the freezer pretty much all the time is snicker bar inspired stuff dates. I take fresh pitted medjool dates and stuff them with homemade peanut butter or almond butter. Then I melt a little dark chocolate with coconut oil. I will either dip the stuffed dates into the chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over the date, and then sprinkle with a Redmonds course salt. Sometimes I’ll sprinkle some shredded coconut too. They are so easy to make and definitely a more wholesome option for a sweet snack or dessert.

    I’m still a ‘kid’ myself, and although my siblings scoff processed snacks down their throats, i can’t bear to eat them.
    it has such a detrimental effect on their health and on the environment. everything now seems to be wrapped in plastic and it pains me to see party sized chip bags being inhaled by them.
    Now that i’m taking responsibility for what i put in my body, i have been making lunches and dinners (occasionally) for myself using organic ingredients, and it always fills me up, and my occasional nut/musli bar is a nice treat. yes, i never get to sit with my sisters as i eat my self made dinner at the table alone as my siblings sit in bed mindlessly scrolling while eating instant ramen, sometimes they eat my food and compliment me.
    i’ve been needing snack ideas that i can make over the weekend that i can bring to school, and all of these are perfect and so easy to make!! thank you so much for your hard work, and i can see how much your family cares for each other. it so heartwarming, i wish that someday, that will be my family.

    I weaned my toddler off snacks also. And if he is hungry before a meal is ready, I give him grapes, muester cheese, bananas or peanuts. I bought a board made of olive wood, where I keep his peanuts on so he may enjoy them. He has become better at eating as I gave up on snacks. It's nice to see someone who does this also.

    You just showed up randomly in my feed today and I consider it a lucky thing. I'm subbing, but to be honest, I'm not sure how often I'll actually watch since your content isn't really my thing. (68, live alone and grandkids are a thousand miles away, don't live on a homestead, can't grow my own food though I do some herbs and cherry tomatoes) But I was so impressed with you and your approach to snacking. I agree if you teach your children to eat their three nutritionally sound meals per day, there shouldn't really be any need for snacks except very occasionally and as a special treat. I'm thrilled to say my daughter feels the same way and gets quite indignant about how people feed poison into their children. I think she has it right when she says it's yet another way for parents to simply not interact and "deal" with their children. If their children want attention, rather than stopping to attend to that real need or redirecting them into a healthy activity, these moms respond with, "Would you like a snack?" Or "Grab a snack and play on your tablet!" which encourages two unhealthy behaviors - using food to solve problems that aren't hunger and inactivity. I like your approach - getting the kids involved. As adults, we feel like things taste better if someone else fixes them for us, but kids feel the opposite. They LOVE food they've had a hand in creating even if it's marginal! 😂

      Kids don't need snacks. Especially today's typical kid who gets very little exercise or outdoor time and spends his time with scree screens. This is why we have an obesity epidemic in our country and why children are a fast-growing subset of that obesity problem. Former RN here.

      @@Lucinda_Jackson I have never heard of this assumption. As a mom to a 1 year old who’s never been on screens and is outside no less then 2-3 times a day, he grazes ALL day. I have 6 younger siblings and several nieces I watched grow up. They were all outside a lot and they all preferred to graze on food throughout the day. Not a one of them is obese in the slightest. I don’t know one toddler that’s ever just not grazed. It’s totally natural. Personally, the thing I hated most about school was not being allowed to graze. The hours between meals was way too long for me. At least for my toddler, I won’t be restricting food from him. He’s allowed to eat whenever he wants. Of course, we don’t have packaged snacks and he loves fruits and veggies 🤷🏻‍♀️

    We snack very similarly to you! Gummies are some of our favorites also. If you sprinkle the gelatin over the unheated juice and let it sit for a few minutes it will bloom and when you transfer it to heat, it will dissolve into the juice perfectly and you dont have to bother with whisking it or worry about clumps forming. Makes an easy treat even easier to make!

    I use a turkey baster to fill my gummy molds 😊 I make elderberry gummies for my grandchildren ... and for the rest of us. 😉
    - Fermented carrot sticks dipped in homemade guacamole or hummus.
    - Leftovers (whatever the children didn't eat off their plate from the previous meal). I'm thankful all of my children now do this same thing with their children.
    - A smoothie
    - Homemade sourdough and almond butter toast
    - "Deviled" eggs
    - Egg, chicken, or salmon salad on sourdough crackers or toast.
    - Whatever is in the garden
    Im sure there are more snacks, but that's what came to mind.

    I make my own granola. I love it as a snack (but I also very much love snacks)
    Cinnamon
    Oats
    Maple syrup
    Salt
    Quinoa
    Chia seeds
    Flax seeds
    Coconut oil
    Coconut flakes
    Whatever nuts I have, I put in.
    Ie. Almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, pecans, hemp seeds, cashews, etc
    Roast 275 about 45 mins
    I also season and roast chickpeas. Usually I add cumin, salt, cayenne, paprika, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder and those are also pretty addicting. 😊

    also we make granola every week to either eat as cereal or top on yogurt. Oats and almonds chopped up and coconut flakes and some soft white wheat berries are mixed together and I add maple syrup and honey and coconut oil to hold it all together. add vanilla extract and cinnamon and a dash of salt. Bake it 350 for about 15 minutes stirring halfway. when it comes out I will mix in some raisins or cranberries and chocolate chips. so yummy and filling!

    Hi, I just found your channel. We have a lot in common, I have three kids 12, 10, and 8. We homeschool, make most of our foods from scratch, such as slow cooking our meats and saving the bones for broth. I make all my breads from scratch using organic hard white wheat flour. I make a lot of quick breads for the kids breakfast such as spiced pumpkin bread, yogurt bread sticks, oven sheet pancakes, honey cornbread muffins, applesauce bread, etc. Or I will make peanut butter oat and honey balls for their breakfast or snack option. I make yeast breads as well. Once a week I make sandwich rolls about 16-20 rolls that last the entire week, I make pizza once a month using no nitrate meats and whole fat mozzarella cheese and season our own organic tomato sauce, I make other yeast breads as well and I like to to watch cooking channels (usually ones outside of the united states) that cook hand made breads from scratch to get new recipes and techniques.
    If we do buy prepackaged items we try to get the healthiest foods possible and buy organic and or all natural. we buy a lot of our beef from a local butcher. We are wanting to homestead soon but haven't got to that point yet since we just moved to undeveloped land a year ago and we were busy getting the land developed but Lord willing it will happen soon!

    It’s awesome to see moms that invite their kids into the kitchen to learn some basic cooking and baking skills. Part of why I know how to cook as a young adult is that I was always helping my mom in the kitchen. I’ve been cracking eggs since I was like three or four. I think it sucks when parents shoo their kids out of the kitchen and then are surprised when their kids grow up and don’t know how to cook. So it’s great to see you inviting your kids to help with the muffins. :)

    We have been loving sourdough freezer waffles. They’re a great way to use up discard and my kids can make one themselves when they’re hungry.
    Yogurt with granola, sourdough crackers, carrots with homemade hummus, cottage cheese with applesauce, hard boiled eggs are also favorites.
    Now that my kids are older and play a lot of sports, they always want meat so I’ve been making a bag of marinated steak strips that they can cook on demand.

    The gummies are a great idea. I have a lot of the same kind of snacks- hard boiled egg, dairy, nuts, baked good. A favorite daily healthy snack is healthy pancakes (oats, banana, cottage cheese, massive # eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, etc) + yogurt + fruit compote + sprinkle of nuts. I love salad but need to use frozen veggies often as it takes so much time to make salad. Salad 3 times per day? wow.
