Thank you for joining me for this years month of Vlogmas. Today I have a large family grocery haul and meal prep. This video is all …
Thank you for being here. This vlog was mostly filmed two weeks ago and last week as my back progressively got worse. My last video https://youtu.be/–ngGHT0_AE?si=kJSRQztiian-n-mj is an update for how we are doing this week. Slow and steady wins the race.🌻🌻😅
I don’t know what you guys can eat in your house. However i love baked pasta sauce. Cherry tomato and colorful peppers with goat cheese or feta. Cover in salt and mild oil. Sit while it roasts and the pasta cooks. Blend and toss together. Also premade pesto and cold pasta with any veggies or cut up cheese is filling and delicious. Even if it’s just basil salt any nut and oil blended together. Man which mix stuffed in potatoes or a pepper is easy delicious and good for the fridge for another meal. Oatmeal can be sweet or savory and easy for older kids to help with. I don’t know if this will help but my mother has severe pancreatitis from a rare division that is technically a birth defect. She unfortunately also has severe mental and physical health problems and cannot function on her own. We try to help her when we can but she is hard. I wish she could give any tips for you but I think you are in a better place than she is. I do know we buy her healthy and low residue foods to help her body heal from her attacks. God bless hon from Iowa ❤
Home Chef is usually easy meals and can be prepared in 30 minutes or so. Hope that helps.at times like these! Keep your head up girlie!
Hi so sorry your in pain, im new to your channel do you have a monthly budget for groceries? How do you manage when your in so much pain with your children, does your husband work i heard you say he is also suffering from bad back pain, is there anybody that helps you ,sorry so many questions just interested hope their not to personal.
Katie, don't know if you know, but full fat yogurt has less sugar than low fat or non fat. As the fat is removed, sugar is added to improve the taste.
You asked for ideas on easy meals. Could you order a meal box like Factor? They are ready made meals you could just warm up? The other thought is to contact meals on wheels and see if they can deliver meals for the kids for a few weeks. Praying for healing for you both so you can have a pain free holiday.
My dog had pancreatitis and a diet of: poached chicken , broth and rice (cooked in poaching water) was wonderful for her. NO fats . Its an old human diet and well validated. CA
Dear Katie, please know I say this in love and from the prompting of the Holy Spirit. I know the desperation that comes from chronic pain. I know desperately wanting to feel better and sometimes to just want to be able to function. There is nothing wrong with wanting healing and praying for the wisdom on how to heal our bodies. Sometimes pain isn't for us, sometimes it's to bring others to our Saviour. Sometimes it is for us, to draw us closer to Him. Our children see this, it could bring them to Christ or deepen their relationship with Him. Please be careful with New Age promoters. They will draw you away from God because they are teaching a counterfeit. Yes, stay hopeful but draw that hope from the Lord. I grow weary at times but I know that the sufferings in this world will be nothing compared to the glory of God in heaven. It will all be worth it if we just persevere with the Lord. Stay on the straight and narrow path dear sister and know that His grace is sufficient for you. Much love and prayers for you. ❤
Pretty lady i pray for all of you. I wish you all the best i mean it theres always a way. Get a gal whole milk pour into 3 clean empty milk jugs n fill w water n shake n gives 4 gals 1% milk. Tell him to see chiropractor. Use biofeeze, get a vibrating massager that goes over a chair. Have your older. Kids help by teaching them a little cooking n cleanup God bless u n all you hold dear n life
Have you tried pressure point work for your legs and butt. If you would like me to teach Erin and you how to do it let me know it’s not hard but it is very effective.
God bless you, Sweetheart! I will include you in my prayers.
Whenever you cringed in pain, I cringed for you. Gentle hugs. Praise God for friends who share their harvests. Feel better, both of you. Great vlog Katie.
Such a blessing you received. God provides. Great to have good friends. To have a friend you must be a friend.
Does your church have a meal train program?
Also easy vegetables, I put cauliflower rice in a lot of things and if that doesn’t work I put frozen diced butternut squash in all soups, chilis or curry’s I get 20 lb boxes from azure
I buy lots of organic sausage dogs or the Teton beef sausage at Costco and my kids eat thst a lot. Also getting a cast iron super hot and using plain sourdough starter as a pizza crust works so fast to make a healthy pizza at home! Farmhouse on Boone has the crust “recipe” in more details. My kids eat that pizza or hot dogs almost everyday it’s good quality so it’s good for them!
always wishing you healing and ease. bless those good-hearted folks
sending healing hugs from us xx
God blessed us in unexpected ways! That box of meat and cheese and the pie is such a blessing I’m so happy for your family
Be careful handling all the frozen meat. It could tax your back.
Hope you’re feeling better every day!! I’m praying for you and your family. I wanted to ask you when you make the hydration drink with the real salt how much salt do you use and lemon juice / to pineapple juice
Do less ingredient overnight oats for now. Oats, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice and milk or yogurt. Ready made mashed potatoes from the store with Air fryer chicken. Cheese slices, summer sausage on crackers with already prepped carrots, celery and some fruit for lunch.
Giel get into see a good spine specialist I had degenerative disc in my c3-c5. I suffered trying to find a Dr. My Chiropractor was my greatest blessing in finding my Nero surgeon. He told me I was weeks till I would be in a wheel chair. I felt God working in so many ways. long story I was in surgery in 10 day of that visit and what a blessing I can walk without pain My hand work . It was so bad my son had to fill out my paperwork because I couldn't hold a pen. get it checked out so you can raise your kids and hold your grandkids. I am 66yrs old . you are young and have a life time of memories to make .
You can add frozen veggies to the meal kits to stretch. Another quick and easy freezer section meal is cheese ravioli or tortellini allot of time they have them on sale. Also Ibotta has offers on convenience foods so does fetch I have not used fetch only Ibotta for their offers and Walmart cash.
A really quick and cheap corn chowder i make is equal parts canned 🌽 corn, cream 🌽, then cubed potatoes either frozen or canned i use one can of potatoes for every two cans of corn. I used dehydrated onions but you can use fresh onions or both then in the slow cooker add the canned corn for your family i would do at least 4 of each do not drain the corn. I do drain the potatoes. I add salt and pepper you have to add pepper all the way through. At the end i add evaorated whole milk one for every 4 cans. I garnish with Turkey bacon bits if you have regular bacon you could cook your onions in its fat. I make broccoli cheese soup easy in the slow cooker to two pounds of frozen broccoli 🥦 i use the pieces and save the florets for later. I use dehydrated onions,dehydrated soup veggies, chicken broth to cover1/4-1/2 teaspoon, white pepper, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, I use knorr bouillon for salt, 1 teaspoon garlic 🧄 powder, 1/2 🧅 powder. After it has slow cooked 4-6 hours on low. i take my hamburger masher and mash them. i add two pounds of florets or pieces. After they are warmed through I add two -three cans of evaporated milk and Cabot Seriously sharp white cheddar 🧀 I live in Vermont but any white sharp or any sharp cheddar cheese.
The slow cooker can be your best friend right now. At least you can get good meals, I know it can be heavy though! ❤️❤️
Praying for God to heal you and your husband in Jesus name amen.
Give all your worries to God ❤❤
Ur quite thin but fasting is also healing if u could hack it

Merry Christmas! I added you on my new channel! I am so sorry your enduring pain. I understand that with injuries and illness from a tick bite. May God heal you both and that you both will feel better and have blessed holidays! Wendy🎄⛄
I just watched your last three videos Katie. I wish I could take away all that pain! Kudos to you for even putting out videos – just take good care of youself, we fully understand if you have to pause a while. Sending lots of love and hugs from Germany 💚
Oh and that box is indeed a blessing box. Just proves that God provides for his own 😊
Love baby boy’s hair cut! ❤❤
For some reason I can’t get Maccoroni and cheese off of my mind but that could be a good filling meal for the kids! I saw that we will see storages on pasta next year so if you can plan ahead and get some from Azure I would also maybe you could get some cheese for lots of Mac & cheese! Just a thought
So sorry for your back pain I am going through that myself right now and their is days I can't move with out awful pain couldn't imagine having 5 kids to take care of on top of it. Love and Prayers
