    I think any food pantry or any business like restaurant grocery stores anything that has food by the date or if it's a restaurant then they should put everything into it to go container. It's clear and take it to the food pantry instead of throw it in the trash.

      Great Question! I can shop at the food pantry once a week. They have income guidelines in order to qualify to shop there. They decide how many items a household can get based on inventory. It fluctuates on pre-made meals, salads, desserts and dairy. Some items like toilet paper are set in stone, for 2 rolls a week. Thank you for subscribing to my Channel!

    MCT oil can be blended with your hot coffee in the morning. Use a blender or give it a vigorous whisk. It'll keep you full for hours, allowing your body to take a break from digesting food.

    Thanks for a much-needed laugh with Hunny Bunny diving into the stockings. My favorite meal was the breakfast with biscuits and strawberry jam. It looked so cozy like a magazine photo.

      The Honey Bunny Crew is a funny bunch of bunnies! Always gotta keep watch over them! I'm glad you enjoyed that part of the video. When I make short clips that bring happiness, it's very rewarding! The biscuit breakfast was yummy, I felt like I was all about that cozy cabin cottage life! I collect supplies for my future kitchen and the knife holder will be great for it. Have a wonderful day and see you on Friday!

    Hi Sarah! So happy to see a new video :). Today it snowed for the first time this winter! It was just flurries for a couple hours and didn't stick but I haven't seen snow in almost four years and it made me emotional. It really DOES snow in northwest Texas! You got lots of yummy protein this haul! The cute little house with tea is SO cute! It's definitely a decoration I'd keep for the holidays! They say to add MCT oil to bulletproof coffee, which is hot black coffee with butter and MCT oil blended together. It keeps you in ketosis but still lets you have a creamy, frothy coffee with healthy fat to keep you full. God bless you and I hope you have an amazing week

I haven't tried it yet but excited to see what happens when I do. I love the little tin house! It's like a miniature Christmas cabin. I'm going to add it to my decorations this year and have fun with it! Have a wonderful week, too, and God Bless You!

      @ so probiotic on an empty stomach always! It just works better to recolonize the gut. The MCT oil or any oil is tricky to get blended into coffee properly. You can use a blender, a neutral bullet or a small handheld tiny blender. If you don’t mind, the oil will rise to the top otherwise.

    If you have a Walgreens near you, they have their store brand zip lock bags (both regular and freezer in several sizes) B1G2 Free for $2.79. Thats only 93 cents per box and an amazing deal ! That MCT oil is meant to go into coffee like creamer to make "bullet coffee". You can Google bullet coffee and it will tell you whats in it and why they used to think it was good for you. It VERY fattening though and not necessarily good for you unless you are eating Keto.
