Food Bank/Pantry Haul: 09/19/24

Welcome!
We are a homesteading, homeschooling family of 7. Due to recent events (job loss/career change, health issues, rising food costs, etc.) we are having a hard time making ends meet despite our best efforts at frugality. So we are tapping into our local food banks to help us feed our family. Come along as I show you what we are blessed with, what we add to it via grocery store and garden, and how I use it all to nourish our bodies.
Thanks for watching and God bless!

Put some of the rosemary in a hot tub for a wonderfully relaxing bath.

This is one of our family favourites and the kids love it:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the Brie cheese in an ovenproof dish. Melt butter, add little pieces of garlic to it. Cut in the cheese a little on the top and spread the garlic butter all over it. Season it with pepper (if you have smoked one even better), place it in the oven and bake it for 8-10 minutes. Garnish with some rosmary, thyme, oregano, ....really, whatever you like. Serve with a few slices of toasted bread and enjoy the soft, warm cheese.

I think you do very good with your food shopping for the size of your sweet family. Gods Grace be with you always, As Americans we are truly bless. It's just my hubby and I I try to not spend over 100.00 a week I do cook our meals not very often to we eat out, sometime when we have doctor appt and have to fasting for blood work. we might stop and get somethings to eat before going home. Breakfast use to be cheap meal out but not any more.

You have the most amazing food pantry that I have seen

Brie has an edible rind on it. Some people don't like it . I do . Wrapped in puff pastry and baked and it gets gooy and a little bit of honey and some walnuts on it when it comes out of the oven yum 😋

I love your videos and that you advocate for others to reach out to their local pantries. Great haul. That’s going to be some yummy French toast.

100 carbs a day for children is really low. I get that you eat low carb across the board but the kids should be ok. 😊

I did brie bites. Basically puff pastry then chuck on brie and topped with cranberry sauce and pecans and bake in oven. I think I baked pastry first then put back in oven with other stuff.

Baked brie wrapped in puff pastry with nuts and fruit jam with bread is delicious. Apples and brie delicious. Brie is delicious with fruit and toast. Ham and brie is delicious

When we were recovering from our accident 30 years ago and we didn’t have enough money to make ends meet or enough food stamps we only had one food pantry in town at the time and we were only allowed to go once every 3 months so it wasn’t a help each month for us. I will say that every time we needed money for something extra God provided it plus we had family and friends(some from Church) that helped buy us groceries. Our son also was able to walk to the school for the summer lunch program so that helped also.

Brie is a lot like cammenbert, which is often found in turkey wraps. Try it ar room temp with nuts, dried fruits, cured meats etc, otherwise it can be baked as suggested
