Is it a cottage in texas
Amy Marion also has lots of precooked h freezer meals in her older videos
Our Tribe of Many has lots of great recipes & their family is XL just like yours. Frugal Fit Mom also has great recipes.
I use turkey for home made burgers
You can get a air pop popcorn machine and use a bag of kernels then add ur own seasonings to it … Something to experiment with !! ❤
Once the baby is adopted are you going make a new intro video I love your channel by the way ❤️
Jamie Oliver or tasty makes really good green mac and cheese.
You should cook beans and freeze them to use later.
Do you have WIC available to help purchase the baby formula. It is based on income and the number of people in your household. Children under a certain age can also get vegetables, fruits, milk, cereal, cheese and other food items. It would definitely be worth looking into. You would need to go to your local health department.
Amy Mayron has lots of homemade ideas in her older videos. She makes yogurt in her instant pot. Good Luck with your homemade cooking! You can do it and you can use the ground turkey in the place of beef.
Awww I hope you're able to get a case of Parent's Choice baby wipes. We love them! I just bought a case for our first grandson due in September. I usually buy a case for any baby shower I'm invited to. Baby wipes come in handy, not just for babies!
Hello first time on your channel👋Pinto beans you can refry or purchase refried beans and make tostadas……yummy
Snack crackers and saltines are simple to make from scratch. Much cheaper than the pasta ones and variety based on seasonings. Also your refried beans…4 cans worth from one bag. Extremely cheaper. Pintos also much cheaper to use dried. Popcorn…huge bag of popcorn and pop on the stove. Also homemade pasta is quite simple. And cheap. I know it's impossible to change 100% all at once. You'd be up 24 hours a day to get started. Just a few more ideas to change up in the future. Good luck with all your new recipes.
I'm very curious to see how the children do with no convience foods. I can't wait for an update! I hope they love it. Sounds awesome!
Go on YouTube and watch a video on making your own baby wipes you will make more than you could buy
Use the ground turkey for chili, taco meat, sloppy joes basically anything seasoned or mixed that calls for ground beef. I’ve made a meatloaf with it that mixes barbecue sauce in it too.
Buy less expensive boneless chicken thighs and use half what you normally would. Meat is for flavor. When you make the fried rice dice it small, like the size pieces of chicken you find in chicken noodle soup in cans. Sauté it in the pan first the deglaze for the flavor and add the other ingredients. I made my family pork fried rice with one pork chop back in the day. If you make something with smoked sausage or kielbasa quarter each slice of sausage. Small pieces will add more flavor and spread meat further. As I said, meat is for flavoring. I make chicken and noodles with just noodles and cream of chicken soup and everyone loves it.
Find a basic muffin recipe and then just add in chopped fruit, jelly or spices/flavoring. Zest those oranges too and store it in the freezer.
Check out Amy Maryon’s channel and Jason and Julie the Kreke Families channel. Monthly shopping and scratch cooking for lots of children.
You might consider introducing bar soap and washcloths. That’s a crazy amount of liquid soap. Also kernal popcorn would be a better buy. I always told my children a snack is a handful, their hand not mine. That would keep them eating less between meals and filling up on healthier foods.
These are just hints I see that could help from this haul. I was tempted to comment on the last video but I didn’t think you would go for cooking from scratch. It is the best way to save money. Enjoy the adventure.
my friend and I wanted to make homemade poptarts as well we just never tried yet
Frugal fit mom has a great recipe for granola using quick oats and coconut and nuts of choice. Fried rice is super easy to make with leftovers and anything you have around the house. I have been using diced ham which I keep in the freezer but just used it up. My husband likes celery on top for crunch. I make our bread, rolls, bagels,soft pretzels, pizza dough, slider rolls and more but I can tell you it is so much easier with a bread machine which you can get super cheap used. It is time or money for sure! If your kids don’t like tomatoes, we blend all of ours so it has texture like ketchup and spaghetti sauce. Aldi has a cheaper ranch powder and you can also use popcorn seasonings on the oyster crackers. Good luck!
I think I want to come hangout 😃. My kids all grown up! I miss all the kitchen fun!
For makeup foundation I use It cosmetics foundation CC cream and it works awesome for me.It a little pricey but worth every penny.
Great haul you all are going to enjoy making all your food.Would love making a couple new recipes.When are you all going back to Texas? How are you all doing with new baby? Have fun making all this awesome recipes.
Have you tried ground turkey stuffed zucchini?? You can also do summer squash if you like that better.
Making from scratch
Find a chef store, then get the blocks of cheese and whole, deli, Turkey , ham etc… much cheaper usually $3 something a pound and get a cheap slicet and slice them up and freeze
You need to use parchment paper to bake your cookies not wax. I make my own taco, fajitas, ranch mix as well as brown bean mix and so many others. I never buy brown sugar. I make my own by using molasses. You are going to have so much fun in your kitchen with the kids. Homemade is the best!
A healthy and cheaper pop corn is bag a big bag of pop corn 25 lbs. Put olive oil in the pan and add popcorn kernels. Put lid on. Hold lid on and shake your pan back and forth until you hear the popcorn stop popping. Sprinkle with salt.
Also, the more you make by scratch the more $$ to spend on other things in life for the kids. You can get the kids to help by having each of the girls to pick a recipe for each night of the week. They can help you by getting the recipe and ingredients together and you can supervise. Each child gets to be the “chef” one night of the week.
Use the pinto beans to make home made chili. Easy peasy. Refried beans and cheese burritos. Fried bean cakes with sour cream and cheese. Lots of ideas with pinto beans. You can even get dried beans and put in the insta pot to cook. Good protein for the kiddos.
Don't forget to try the oatmeal with the peanut butter in it. It taste like peanut butter cookies. Cook like always with sugar and then add a scoop of peanut butter in the pot or teaspoon in individual bowls.
Tribe of Many has Good ideas with making stuff.😊
I'm excited to see how you do this bc I would love to start.
Try finding a rotary grinder for your cheese and veggies. I got one from Walmart and it is the best purchase I have ever made. I don't buy shredded cheese in the bags anymore. And it's quick!!
Good job Christian w the potty training ! My little guy is almost 3 AND we're still struggling unfortunately,I have 3 older boys 13,15 and17 and they were easy compared to him Lol 2 of them before 2! But we'll get there I'm sure !
You can use the ground Turkey and make chili and have a baked potato bar for a lunch with all the toppings your family enjoys. We make oatmeal cookie bars with 2 sticks melted butter, 2 1/2c oatmeal, and 1 box any flavor cake mix mix all that together, take 2/3 of that mix and press into greased 9×13 baking dish, now take 1 jar of any flavor jam entire jar mixed with 3 tbsp water mix tol loosened now spread over that oatmeal mixture, sprinkle the remainder of the mixture, bake at 350 til golden brown and jelly is bubbling, remove and cool completely, cut into squares or diamonds and serve. I guarentee you'll all love them.
Store bought shredded cheese has inulin to keep from clumping. Home shredded cheese wouldn't have anti caking agents.
So proud of you!
Breakfast idea Steele oats in your crockpot with required amount of water as per pkg instruction Add cinnamon brown sugar to taste Sometimes I throw in nuts and raisins Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours When you wake in the morning your kitchen smells wonderful and breakfast is ready! Use Steele oats not regular oatmeal. So excited to see results of your great ideas!
A dinner we make is taco chicken in a crockpot. Cook chicken with jar of salsa and pk of taco seasoning. When chicken is cooked shred add a can of corn and black beans and blk of cream cheese. Cook till hot. Serve on flour tortillas or tortilla chips.
A lunch we make is homemade pizza with flour tortillas you can make them flat or fold over or roll them up. They do what ever they want. We also make cheese rollups with flour tortillas shredded cheese and salsa. Melt the cheese on the tortillas add sour cream/ salsa.
I think you should get a Sam's club account so you can get a bigger bags of Rice, the Restaurant size cans of refried beans, & bigger bags of cheese & frozen vegetables. Sam's also has bulk liquid hand soap. Toilet paper from Sam's is the same price as Walmart for twice as much toilet paper.
Powdered Sugar you can make your self, just put granulated sugar in a blender & blend to a fine powder, brown sugar you can also make yourself by adding molasses to white granulated sugar. Good luck & have fun.
I like to put chocolate chips in my oatmeal. The last time I got peanut butter and chocolate chip mixed.Good
you should check out the YouTube channel our tribe of many she does a lot of food prep she has a large family she does homemade yogurt and bread, and she even can her food
