Yes! Mix two types of Mac n cheese or add extra pasta from your pantry and then after it is cooked add canned diced tomatoes! ❤❤ We ate this all the time as kids!! We loved having different shaped pastas!!! You my not like different shapes but I bet your kids will love it!!!!❤
You can freeze dry salad greens then crumble it up for green powder in smoothies or add to soups, pasta or really anything. Dark greens are a good source of nutrients.
I'm looking up recipes and writing them down. My new one for rice with a egg done eggplant and a Banana Ketchup to drizzle over light. Things to make with things we have. I'm already hooked on Mango hot salsa for a dip or over rice with chicken.
At my foodbank volunteer gig, I scored some cheeses and dips. Love that kind of stuff for snacking. I even grabbed a box of Pita chips (slightly crushed but not outdated) to go with the dips. I generally don't take the meat and dairy items but there was so much this week and I knew the dips wouldn't last long in the foodbank fridges. There was a nice spinach/artichoke dip, some wholly guacamole, and some fancy specialty cheeses. I also grabbed some deli chicken wings - they were labeled buffalo wings but were definitely BBQ sauce - not hot wings. I recued some of the produce that was headed for the compost rather than the giveaway tables - a bruised apple, broken zucchinis, a package of last weeks strawberries (still good, just didn't look as nice as the ones donated this week), and lastly a container of sliced baby bella mushrooms that had the plastic broken. I washed and cooked the mushrooms with onion and butter that night for dinner. For some reason, we get tons of bagged salads and the ones in the bowl from the deli. I always take 2 or 3 because I will eat them for sure. This week we sadly had to compost a bunch of bagged salads that nobody has grabbed over the last couple of weeks. I had to remind the other volunteers to save the condiment/topping packets as those are still good. I took home some sunflower seeds just to snack on.....
Old fly remedy for flies my grandmother did once that worked. Fill a Mason jar with water and for a pint jar without the jelly jar design. My grandparents would take pint or quart Mason jars abd fill them with water, put in 2 pennies. Put on lids and put a string tied to the neck of the bottle to have enough string for the neck of the bottle to be 6 inches below the doorway and hang in the openings of the windows. I lived with them for 2 years when I was a child and the first spring my grandmother set up the jars with strings and made my grandpa hang them up in the windows and doorways. She never had to do it again after grandpa got sick of hitting his head on the mason jar everytime he went in abd out the open door. He got grandma screen doors and window screen making sure to put them on every spring. Because grandma would ask him to put up the screens 1 time and if he didn't do it she woukd say, "I guess I have to break out the jars and pennies." He would do it right away after hearing that. Lol Tip: make sure the Mason jar is up high enough you and the kids do not hit your heads.
Hi Mama Baird good morning happy Thursday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you and I enjoy your channel
I love your vlogs with all kinds of content. The kids are so sweet, thanks for sharing them with us. These are the best times, they grow so fast. Your imagination to use all different kinds of ingredients in your recipes blows my mind. I really enjoy your vlogs. 😊
If you heat the icing in Chef Mike for a few seconds it will soften the icing. Then you dip. The icing will harden on the pops. I have made many of them like that. I have the old metal pop bake pans. I also use drink straws for the sticks.
I freeze that slaw mix in quart bags and then I add it to my vegetable soup, I just did three bags last week this way. I also got big 10 pound bag of restaurant ketchup which I put into pint jars and recanned in boiling water bath for 35 minutes 22 jars and refilled my icebox bottle, so I have ketchup for a while. I could make bar-b-q sauce to if I want. If no one figures out what to do with that ketchup it will just be thrown out they had a pallet of it. I froze a lot of bread to. Opened a number 10 can of tomatoe sauce used some to make chili and canned 2 quarts in boiling water bath for 45 minutes. Needless to say I was busy canning. I just cannot stand to see food go to waste. About forgot I sliced mushrooms and froze 4 bags of mushrooms for pizza toppings.
@@mamabairds I forgot to tell you I have a friend that works at another pantry stop by and bring me 4 containers of cherry tomatoes, The pantry was done for the month and she cannot stand to see stuff thrown away so she takes stuff to people who she knows will use it, she does this all the time with would be thrown away food. The people who run mouth about people taking food do not know the whole story about what happens with food and they just stop people from getting food that they need and get the food thrown in the dump. Keep spreading the word about the food so people do not feel bad about taking it.
Don't tell no one I'm trying to stock up on , Laoganma Spicy Chili Crisp Sauce. We get alot of spaghetti noodles and rice from food banks we get lots of veggies even chicken and shrimp so I started learning new ways of yum. There's many recipes to use this and have on had in the refrigerator. We can no longer afford eating out and Chinese food is a must we 😘 ve this fine it comes from china so will foods end coming in? So my pantry will be used in many ways of home food's. My grandkids enjoy the food they think it was ordered, yep and I heated it up.
Sorry I missed the premier but watched the replay, have been sleeping off n on all, not feeling well 😢. Sinuse issues and low-grade fever, UGH!!! I have too much to do to be down sick. Love the food bank haul and the cake pops. I would definitely use some of that slaw mix into egg rolls in a bowl, yummy!!!😋🤤❤️
I have been doing my research, luckily I live in a city n there’s tons, I am trying different locations and seeing which one is good for us. Lately I been doing estimates” and the money we save my husband uses it for gas cuz every 3 days it’s 60$.. I still haven’t found one where I can shop”
That's quite a savings! I'm happy to hear you are looking around for the best one for your family! Nothing wrong with that at all! Hopefully you'll come across one you can shop at. They are wonderful!
They closed cracker barrels. But we've had like 15 restaurant shut down here in the past two weeks. Normally a plate of food at cracker barrel was about twelve ninety-five 1595 with. After the pandemic it went up to 25 a person. So a lot of the restaurants are shutting down. I used to eat at the food carts a lot and I could get something for like 12.00 now same food cart is 19.00 .... We just can't afford to eat out
I see that. I know I left the industry as a line cook and found other ways to make more money than I was getting there. Plus it's really hard work. And with the cost going up for everything, I agree, we can't afford as most, to eat out anymore.
We’re having a few restaurants close because they can’t find employees (even tho they’re offering high wages.) A lot of restaurants have also shut down certain days of the week, or shortened their hours (same reason…can’t find people to work there, as well as inflation. I know we don’t eat out as much due to price increases giving us less ‘flexible money’ for fun, unfortunately.) Probably a combo of the two are causing restaurants to close or limit hours. I was curious if when you wash the pepper bacon if it reduces the intensity of the pepper taste? (I think you said your kids weren’t a fan, and I noticed some flavored bacon at the store on sale…a flavor I don’t like…and I thought of you and was curious.)
yes it does help reduce the pepper taste!! I just do it on the ends that have a lot of it, but even the bacon grease can be too pepper when I use it to toast bread for them. They ask why the grilled cheese is spicy?! Haha
I who's I could go to my food banks the problem with ours is that our lines are two to three hours long. They don't give you a choice of what you get and like me I'm allergic to so many things that by the time I go through the 6 items they give I might get 1 item. It's a shame.
Hihi, another brilliant meal. I love that you don't take baby bites....for goodness sakes take a real bite I say lol Keep well PS your daughter is you!
You asked what we do with Macaroni & cheese to stretch it. Here you go. Macaroni & cheese with bite size left over chicken and cooked broccoli florets. Macaroni & cheese with cubed leftover ham and canned corn. Macaroni & cheese with cooked mild sausage and canned carrots. Macaroni & cheese with canned tuna, salmon or mackerel and canned peas Macaroni & cheese with ground beef and canned chili Macaroni & cheese with ground beef, can of mixed vegetables or corn. Macaroni & cheese with leftover cubed pieces of roast, and canned corn. Macaroni & cheese with leftover cubed beef roast or steak, cooked bellpeppers, onions and mushrooms. Macaroni & cheese with hotdogs cut up and a can of chili Hope you give them a try and let everyone know how they were. My name Kyu Tee is pronounced QT or Cutie.
We've lost cracker barrel Restaurants and Burger King, Mexican restaurant, small restaurants, Target, Walmart gone Safeway, Chinese Restaurants we could go on then burnt down plants chips and snacks, fertilizer, seed plant, clothing factory, flour mill, big onion factory then B&M food processing plant closed down company's left automotive went to back yard people they can't find parts, and we got hit with more snow. But hay it's just one city should we go to the next city. When I call family every where it's going on and family talking to moving in on land with other family being worried for the worse . Spread the love get garden plants going. Some are priced at $8.00 a vegetable for one. We went to the grower's.
Macaroni and cheese must be an American thing as I have never eaten it and neither has anyone I know. Interested to know what goes into it, especially given that you seem to come across them alot.
Buy me a coffee to support this channel! All coffees will go to kids summer activities! Thank you!

Don’t forget to make green smoothies with the spring mix. It freezes well and crumbles down into small pieces for smoothies.
Oh good idea! Thank you!
Really I wish I would have known that 😔
Sweet
Hi! Try heating that frosting so it becomes more of a glaze.
Good idea! Thank you!
Fried cabbage,onions bacon ,,,yum
Thank you for the idea of dehydrating the leaks and turning it in a powder that dehydrated leak powder is so awesome
You are welcome! They are my favorite!
Hello Carolina you got some great stuff in your pantry haul. That broccoli could be used for so many things. Hope you have a great week.
Thank you! You too!
I laughed when your cake pop dropped, you are so cute, your dinner looks delicious, take care
Haha! Dang it...Ah well..still tasted yummy!
Yes! Mix two types of Mac n cheese or add extra pasta from your pantry and then after it is cooked add canned diced tomatoes! ❤❤ We ate this all the time as kids!! We loved having different shaped pastas!!! You my not like different shapes but I bet your kids will love it!!!!❤
That's a good idea! I bet they would love it too!
Yummy
I love getting bags of greens! I got a cocoa crispy cake mix last week like those.
Oooh that sounds tasty!
You're so creative! I really enjoy your content!!
Thank you so much!
Great resources...Thank you!❤
You are so welcome!
You can freeze dry salad greens then crumble it up for green powder in smoothies or add to soups, pasta or really anything. Dark greens are a good source of nutrients.

My kids would love these.😊
Fantastic haul of veggies 😊🙏, what a blessing. Enjoy 👍
Yes, thank you!!
I'm looking up recipes and writing them down. My new one for rice with a egg done eggplant and a Banana Ketchup to drizzle over light. Things to make with things we have. I'm already hooked on Mango hot salsa for a dip or over rice with chicken.
At my foodbank volunteer gig, I scored some cheeses and dips. Love that kind of stuff for snacking. I even grabbed a box of Pita chips (slightly crushed but not outdated) to go with the dips. I generally don't take the meat and dairy items but there was so much this week and I knew the dips wouldn't last long in the foodbank fridges. There was a nice spinach/artichoke dip, some wholly guacamole, and some fancy specialty cheeses. I also grabbed some deli chicken wings - they were labeled buffalo wings but were definitely BBQ sauce - not hot wings.
I recued some of the produce that was headed for the compost rather than the giveaway tables - a bruised apple, broken zucchinis, a package of last weeks strawberries (still good, just didn't look as nice as the ones donated this week), and lastly a container of sliced baby bella mushrooms that had the plastic broken. I washed and cooked the mushrooms with onion and butter that night for dinner.
For some reason, we get tons of bagged salads and the ones in the bowl from the deli. I always take 2 or 3 because I will eat them for sure.
This week we sadly had to compost a bunch of bagged salads that nobody has grabbed over the last couple of weeks. I had to remind the other volunteers to save the condiment/topping packets as those are still good. I took home some sunflower seeds just to snack on.....

That's a great story!! Best way to get a man to do ANYTHING! haha!! I'll have to give that a try! Sounds easy enough! Thank you for that!
You’ve got everything for egg roll in a bowl. Quick and easy dinner for a super busy momma.
So true!
Add broccoli and chicken to the Annie's mac and cheese
Oh good thinking!
Love the chicks and the kiddos telling us all about them. Hubby won't let chicks in the house, but I have taken over his garage office before lol
These will be in the garage once they start stinking. They are allowed in the house in the cute stages!! haha
Thats fair, lol

Great to add chicken, shrimp,or pork to coleslaw mix to make egg rolls.
So glad I got to catch the premere today...that bone broth prices are crazy
I'm so happy you did as well! Isn't that price insane?!!
Hi! Those cake pops turned out really well. I think my granddaughters would have fun doing that. Thanks for the demo! ❤
You are so welcome!
You can use the coleslaw mix for stir-fry also are egg rolls
Yep, we love egg roll in a bowl. Yummo

You could put the cake pops on a wire rack and pour the icing over. Then put the sticks in after they're cooled and set.
Oh that's a good trick! Thank you for sharing!
This whole video had me cracking up. You are a hoot. ❤
Thanks girl!
When my kids were small I would cut hotdogs in bite sizes and fry them then add to mac and cheese 😋
Oh yummy!!

Large Family Love freeze dries her refried beans and rehydrates them for taco night.
You a do so much with that Cole slaw....cabbage soup, cabbage casserole,
Great ideas!
If you get the cabbage mix pack again please try Jamaican steamed cabbage. It will change ya life.
Will do! Thank you!

Caroline, do you save the seeds from the peppers? I use to dry them and grow more
I've never tried growing a pepper from store bought seeds! That has worked for you?
It works
Could you freeze dry the coleslaw mix and rehydrate and make coleslaw or egg roll in a bowl at a later date?
Probably!! Good thinking!
I lived in Corvallis Montana
Oh that's not too far from me!! What a small world!
Dennys and Red Robin here have shutdown near us.
Two in one day?? Thank you! :-)
Don't get used to it!! Haha!!
Curious. How do you can/ pickle cold slaw? I actually haven't heard of doing that and I've canned just about everything ☺️
You make a pickle brine and water bath it!
Thanks 😊
ever think about canning sauerkraut? just a thought.
I do have some. I don't seem to reach for sauerkraut as much in cooking though.
We’re having a few restaurants close because they can’t find employees (even tho they’re offering high wages.)

Lazy cabbage rolls? Cabbage soup? For spring rolls?
Great ideas! Thank you!
All the Dennys in ny shut down abruptly
Weird....
Hey beautiful
Hey hey
Next time, try and microwave the icing for about ten seconds. That way the icing would be thinner, and not so heavy.
Good idea! Thank you!

I get a lot of mine from a company coming preserve book the recipes are excellent
I meant to say before...I grew up in Troy!

That would have been smart...haha
I like sour cream on my burritos but not cheese. I don't like cheese in my burritos or tacos.
I'm canceling my subscription now. It was good in the past when the focus was on grocerys from food bank and cooking. Now it's a mess.
I literally go to the food bank and cook in this video...haha
Is your food bank a government food bank ? Ask for ID?
Ours sux in that they demand IDs, income level and limit to once a month !
They don't ask for ID at mine.
We lost alor of our shoney's
I don’t like knoor foods way too much salt
