You're doing great. Many of us are eating pretty simply too. I ate a croissant from freezer toasted with a fried egg, Kraft processed cheese slice and deli ham I pulled out of the freezer for lunch. Banana to finish off the meal and that's lunch. Enjoy the weekend.
@@honeywell7892 thank you 😊 It’s the way to go, we can’t afford all of the expensive seasonings and cuts of meat so we make do with what we have and we stretch it as far as we can!!!! Your croissant sounds super tasty though!!!! Maybe I will get some croissants from the pantry today!!!
@@Leigh_Belula absolutely!!!! I am I’ll start a video with all of my dry mixes and seasonings!!! It saves so much when you know how to make the convenience items yourself. Thank you, I do my best.
I did a pumpkin foray around the supermarkets yesterday. The carving ones aren't great to eat, but this time of year, they stock all the fancy pumpkins and squash, like ironbark and turk's turban, for £1 - £2 and they keep for months in a cool, dry place!
@@colettebishop2173 ahhh yes they do, so many people use them as decor but nope not us…. We eat them lol. That’s a great way to get them and they really do store very well. I’m hoping to focus more on my garden next year as to grow more and have a better harvest.
@@melissawilkinson2652 that is super sweet of you, I honestly don’t know how you would go about doing that and I don’t expect you to do that. I do appreciate the offer.
@@danakapahu4105 thank you!!! 😊 I just hope it helps others to see that sometimes meals may look unconventional and we have to get creative with what we receive. Filling bellies is the main goal!!!
❤ love the meal you have cooked. We always make homemade pizzas at home. My husband and I go to the once a month food pantry and I also go to some church food pantry as well. It sure has helped me and my husband out so very much.
@@nicolecrawford5598 that’s really great to hear that you are also getting g the help that is out to there. It really does make a world of difference. There is absolutely no way we would be able to eat decently without the help of the pantry.
@@teritempel4774 🥰 thank you, 😊 I just get creative in the kitchen with the items I have received. Sometimes you have to think outside of the box. I will reach out to her and see what her plan is but I do know she has been doing really good. They just celebrated her husband Josh’s birthday.
Nothing at all wrong with any of the meals you cooked. Thats the way I usually cook. Last night I made spaghetti with meatballs, fries okra and fried squash with garlic bread. It all came from the food pantry. We like the content that you put out, if we didn't, we would not watch. Just keep doing what you do, girl as long as there is a smile on your face.😊😊
@@pawpawmike7372 you’re the best!!! If I could choose some of my family here on TH-cam to meet in person…. Well you would be one of the tops on the list!!!!

We could so cook together in the kitchen… cook and eat what’s available!!!
Currently fasting by doctor's orders, but I love to cook and get creative with stuff from the food bank too! Once I'm back on my feed, I look forward to making a big pot of chili with cornbread.

She is also my kid that’s into the horror movies and wants to go to the horror cafe they have somewhere. I’ll make sure to ask for many refills!!!! lol 😝 thank you. 😊
@@MamaToAll I am doing good and I hope you are too❤️ feeling better from last week so sounded so sad 😞 with your mouth hurting, I bet she’ll enjoy it, we only been 2x as I remember the food was tasty, but the servers being a dick is hilarious first time we went the server wasn’t into it, then second time we got a show lol 😂 telling me to get my own drink refills and all, the other restaurant sounds interesting too, we ate at a monster burgers place in Pigeon Forge I bet she’d love, it had Halloween monsters all in restaurant and there food is based on horror like our son got a Blood bag to drink it was like Hawaiian Punch lol but he loved it! And the food was delicious!! I am going to get her a card, 18 is such a great age ❤️

@@melissawilkinson2652 yes they are. I just got a bunch of prepackaged pineapple given to me from a friend and it had yesterday’s sell by date so I took it and canned it up.
