    Sarah and the other kids who cook need a channel showing how they make their recipes, showing how to sew, how they build things, fix things, etc. So many kids have never had the opportunity to learn since electronics have taken over and parents are so busy anymore. Learning from another kid makes those watching get interested and those new tasks appear more doable when learning from a peer.

    I live in Europe and stretching the budget has become a reality here as well. I‘ll make vegetable or potato soup, lentil or split pea soup, stews with cabbage, spaghetti with tomato sauce, omelettes. There are so many options. As long as you can cook, you can stretch the budget. Shop for sales whenever you can. Problem with a lot of younger people is that they can’t cook and rely on takeout or industrial produced foods. They overpay for crappy foods.

      Same here in the U.S.A. so many people just have no clue how to cook cheaply. Most younger people dine out or get take home or like you said they purchase processed meals at super market and it's so unhealthy as well as expensive. This younger generation need to start learning to cook and budget

      @@judyjenna-pilot553 We have a saying in Hungarian I could translate to "Urge is high lord" It means If you are in need you gonna do what you have to do. So if the younger generation can't pay for take out or McDonald's they will have to learn how to cook.

      I know you are working hard to stretch your food dollar as most of us ARE. I saw the pot of chicken on the stove and first thing that popped in my head was chicken and dumplings. Growing up we only got them twice a year,Thanksgiving and Christmas. When I went out on my own, I started making it myself. It's not for just holidays anymore. In fact, my mom asked me how I made mine and asked me to make it for her. As it turns out, she liked mine better!!!

    My dear mother, who is now deceased (she lived until age 94), used to make the most delicious soup I've ever tasted. She used to keep a "soup jar" in the fridge that she'd put the week's leftover veggies in, if she had an insufficient amount left from the week's meals. Then, she'd boil a soup bone, or the carcass of a chicken and dump the contents of her soup jar in. Her soup was F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!!!! When I asked her "What's your secret?", she told me: "Don't ever add anything to your soup that doesn't contribute to its flavor". I've followed her instructions to this day and have my own soup jar in my fridge. Even though I am a guy, I think I'm a pretty decent cook and this has enabled me to have "Mom's cooking" to this day.

    First time I've seen any of your videos. I'm impressed! You have better looking food from what you say you "pull together" than most have when they work hard to prepare! It looks delicious! I'm sure your family enjoys every meal. You are bringing your children up as you should, teaching them how to care for themselves and each other! Even though the little ones can't do a lot, they can do what they can do, and you are wise to let them help. God bless you for that. I pray you're teaching them about the Lord also. They all seem so well mannered. I really like your channel, so I subscribed. Can't wait to see the next video. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you richly!

    I'd like to comment on your chicken soup. My first attempt is still laughed at 30 yrs later. As a poor student, I boiled several pieces of chicken, to make a LARGE pot of soup. Removed the chicken, cooled it and chopped into small pieces. Prepared veggies and went to return everything to the pot and was shocked at how "unclean" the water looked. So, I poured it out, scrubbed the pot with an SOS pad & filled it with "nice clean" water. Added veggies, chicken & spices and boiled it. Served up a big bowl and found it had NO taste!! When I asked people for advice on how I'd made it, everyone laughed. Apparently, I'd made "nice CLEAN soup!" It was tasteless, but, boy was it "CLEAN!!"

    Loved this video..first time watching. I really enjoyed the 'throw back in time'. Much like how we grew up. I'm 68. Wish more families would just slow down with all the running around, trying to outdo their friends, and just enjoy being a real family! Not far from the Ozarks myself. New subscriber!

    Very interesting ! I used to have a larger family but now I’m an empty nester and I rarely see this much food at one time anymore. I would love to cook for a large family again ! ❤

    I felt tears welling up as I watched your video for the first time. I was raised on a farm in Kansas and it brought back fond memories. Your children are beautiful and so well manned. Your open mindedness to creative food, gardening, and oh! that fresh bread, is a welcome reminder to be creative and get bellies full. God bless your family. hugs!

    I was raised by my grandmother for many years and she would make a meal every few days of the leftovers that couldn't be directly mixed with anything else. She'd add fresh sliced tomatoes or sonething. I used to love those meals!

    You should make potato cakes with your leftover mash potatoes, eggs, flour, diced onion or shredded, cheese if you have a bit, salt and pepper. My German grandmother use to make them when the grandkids were over along with her children. No one went away hungry.

    When my aunt used to clean out her fridge at the end of the week, she used to call it Dab-a-do-Day, meaning a dab of this and a dab of that will do you. She used to do her grocery shopping on Saturday, so she cleaned out the fridge on Fridays.

    Wonderful conversations and cooperation really help your home go smoothly.
    I am the 5th child, 3rd daughter of seven children.
    We didn't have a garden, no animals to provide food, and my daddy worked two jobs. Church was for show. It is very important to put God first,read, and let everyone have family time .
    Others don't know your children as you do. I am so happy seeing you all. I don't think there is a family photo of us at the table.

    Years ago, my neighbor said, you know when you are old when your children are on social security.
    Our children are under fifty.
