      Hi, I just found your channel today. I love that there are more parents doing things from scratch! Do you also make dehydrated fruit roll-ups? I used to make my own fruit roll ups that my kids loved. I liked knowing what my children were eating and made sure that what they got was a lot healthier than anything you could ever buy from the supermarket! My favorite was the look on another parent's face when they would ask me... how much sugar I put in and I would tell them... none! Lol

    Im 61 and live in Canada. My mom baked daily for our family of 7. We never over ate or binged. Mom cooked the best healthy meals as well. She made everything from scratch. I followed the example she set. All Stacy is doing here is going back to how things used to be done before grocery stores carried everything. She's setting an amazing example of self-sufficiency for her kids. I know kids who don't have a clue where the meat, fish, poultry, fruits and vegetables in the grocery stores come from. They teach kids in school how to read the product information because in many families this isn't explained to them. The food Stacy is making for her family is healthier than store bought even if she includes chocolate chips😊 I've watched many of her videos and she's leading her family by example. I taught my boys the same way. Excellent way to grow up!

      It’s normal in my house and my mom cooked from scratch. My parents were raised in the country and all but one sibling of mom’s cooked from scratch and my grandmother cooked like she was feeding an army. Everything was fresh from the garden or home canned or frozen. I miss my grandma and her cooking. I think when women started working all that got left behind. Personally I think it was the worst thing for society but I also understand why women went to work.

      I’m 21 and living in America. Growing up my mother rarely made anything from scratch, and when she did actually cook something it was by adding store-bought canned and processed foods in a pot and then heating it up. But usually, it was boxed macaroni with store bought hotdogs, or frozen meals.
      I love my mother dearly and I know she was very busy and tired when we were children because me dad didn’t help her, so she was doing the best we could, but now that I’m grown with my own child I crave homemade from-scratch foods.

    I am happy to find you. I grew up in India, we rarely ate snacks and never ate out. I recall eating out twice in my life (before I went to college), once during a move, and second time when we celebrated a rich friend’s birthday. We ate seasonal fruits and grains (yes, grains are seasonal too). Now I am raising my kids in the USA, and they don’t understand what a good hungry stomach feels like, they don’t want to eat nutritious delicious food because they are full from easily available junk food everywhere. Your video is an inspiration to keep working hard to teach kids how nourishing and tasty snacks can be. I always have lara bars in my freezer and fridge, also have smoothie popscicles, frozen fruit, banana bread. Bread and butter is my go to snack too.

      My husband ate fast food from dhaba stalls often when he was a teen in India as he was a bottomless pit. He mom would cook 16/17 chapati for him at one time and she would finally cut him off and threaten to beat him. We are mixed and feed our kids only home food for the most part, of the mom is out of the home that’s a problem, normally why the kids start eating bad. Also, our littles little Indian spice but not hot n heavy so I make a little different tarka, chutney or pickle to add more spice for the grown ups. Using our green chilies from the garden makes a big difference too as the red chili powder gives us stomach aches like it has chemical or gmo. I notice they spray paint the cardomon green from Indian too so I am ordering my own plants to grow myself.

    Not sure what you mean about in the past Americans didnt snack. Everyone did snack, but it wasnt processed snacks, it was more like fruit. I grew up very poor (a long time ago) where extra food was not always around in the house, but I still snacked daily. It was called picking fruit from the trees. I ate oranges, pomegranates, plums, avocados, used the lemons I picked and squeezed them over the other fruit and put a bit of salt, YUM! So running in the hills all day eating fruit from any tree I could find, I never felt hungry. Snacked all day!

      You don't seem to know how expensive fruit was then and not every State had fruit trees. Not everything could be shipped everywhere especially before the railroad. But even when the railroad was introduced not every fruit could survive the train rides especially in the summer months. Maybe some wild berries were around but not much to snack on back then depending on where settlers lived. There were nut trees but again that depends on where you live. And you don't make much sense saying you were poor and had very little food in the house then say you snacked all day and was never hungry 🤔 you were not very poor then.

We would give the children a hot drink that tastes like coffee but is made from the acorn, serve Bread rolls and a latter of Ham, dried meat, and salami with a platter of a variety of cheese.

      One caveat - people walked and biked regularly. I'm much younger, but I've been trying to understand the obesity epidemic in the US. Besides the snacking, dessert for breakfast or lunch, and calorie-laden drinks all day, few people surpass 5000 steps per day. I'm currently staying at a farmhouse without farming nor tending to animals, and I still log in at least 10,000 steps every day (often more, up to 14,000 steps). I even stopped my daily "formal" workout routine because my daily life burns more calories nowadays. Before this living situation, I was totaling about 6000 steps during the cooler months and closer to 8000 steps during the warm months.
      I still snack 2-3 times per day (including a beer or mixed drink about every 1-2 days), but I honestly can't gain weight because I have small meals as well. I also drink water all day long. It's amazing. The answer to the weight gain problem is to move more. Eating smaller portions and drinking mostly water helps.
      We were meant to exercise all day long like our ancestors who traveled often as hunter-gatherer packs or worked the land as farmers. Our bodies aren't meant to sit or stand still all day. Even a vehicle starts having issues if it sits parked for more than a month, so why wouldn't this apply to people?

      There are so many more reasons for obesity. Most of it isn't that people aren't moving, but the absolute nutrient-deficient food we are fed. Just look at other countries that done use the junk ingredients that we do.
      I am also a very busy and active person, but am overweight. Over 7K steps at just 4 pm and lots more to do today. I basically just drink water. However- I'm super happy for you that it's kept you fit! Just know that because it works for you doesn't mean it's the same for everyone.

    Mum cooked 3 meals everyday and on weekends/holidays snacks for our big family and many times for grands and gardening people
    Natural food, organic
    Eating out was rare and carefully picked or catered places during events
    No candy fast food or wheat or milk or all the rubbish that's been fed in some places
    Very good health, fun experience growing up and to-date her food and our family food are our favs

    The british used to have afternoon (high) tea to tide them over til dinner time

      @colettebishop2173 22 дні тому +2

      Afternoon and high tea are two different things. Afternoon tea was things like toast, crumpets, maybe a light sandwich like cucumber and perhaps fruit cake or seed cake. (Modern Afternoon tea is all sorts of little cakes and savouries, you wouldn't eat a full evening meal after that and its more of a treat thing, mothers day, birthdays etc.). It was served in aristocratic households as the evening meal was served very late. High tea is a much heartier affair, typical on farms etc where people were working hard on the land all day. Served late afternoon or early evening you would get bread and butter, maybe boiled potatoes, cold cooked meat such as ham or tongue, boiled eggs, cheese,pickles, sometimes a cold cutting pie like pork,game or corned beef and potato,and probably a fruit pie or cake of some kind as well. You didn't get an evening meal after that. Maybe a slice of toast before bed, but farmers went to bed early as they had to get up and deal with milking, animal feeding etc. so usually nothing more after high tea.

    Thank you for sharing about not daily snacking!! We had to cut out snacks as our toddlers grew into preschoolers/kindergarteners because we found they were not eating their full, well-rounded meals, but rather just waiting for their snacks (fruit, crackers, etc). For us it was the importance of 3 square meals vs intermittent snacking throughout the day. I know there's evidence to support both digestive arguments, but we went with what feels best to us.

    I don't think it's the snacking, but what you snack and how much you snack. If you eat a simple sandwich, you'll be full with less and for longer. If you eat addicting food that is full of sugar, you'll want more and more.

      @@lhartwig2354 I don't think so. My generation grew up with simple sandwiches with butter and cheese,cucumber and tomato for snack, and the other snack was fruit. We run around a lot, rode bicycles, played lot of physical games, that were like exercise. There was rarely a fat or an obese kid, and if there was obese it was because they had some other issue.

Nuts, dates, figs, dried apricot, raisins or craisins,peanut butter or Al and butter, chia, ground flax, honey, oatmeal or 9 grain mix, sometimes cocoa, or coconut. You make balls and roll them in powdered milk, or sugar, or coconut,or crushed nuts…lots of options.

    I loved this way if carrying him.. The following is for you , me & every mother.. the Pediatrician TOLD US..THAT BABY'S HEAD MUST BE KEPT SUPPORTED ALL THE TIME ON OUR ARM AS LONG AS HIS IS IN THIS AGE.. That's why the way you carry him while his head is supported by the cloth is much better than what we do.. BUT WE ALL SHOULD LIMIT THE DURATION WE CARRY OUR BABIES IN FRONT OF US..AS THEY NEED THEIR BACK SUPPORTED ON OUR ARM WHEN THEY ARE VERY LITTLE LIKE THIS . Also take care for your own safety regarding your back while you are carrying the baby ''s weight in front of you...your fingers while using the kitchen objects. . Keep both of you away from the oven. .
    Love you. .Thank you again for these wonderful snacks. ... It was really very kind of you. .❤

    I'm not married and I have no children of my own, but I'm out a lot and I have a tendency to go where I have to without having breakfast. (NOT an early riser!) Ever since I got my instant pot, I have enjoyed making medium or soft boiled eggs so much more, and I'll throw those in the fridge and have them later. Even soft-boiled eggs that are pulled out of the refrigerator are just awesome because I love the yolks runny! Throw a couple in my purse along with a fruit roll and the beef stick for church because my ride to church has to be there a lot earlier than I have to, so I have time to sit and eat those things once I get there. And that's just one example in my case! 😊☕️

    I’m a grazer. I fill up quickly but get hungry fast. So for my specific body type snacking is important. I’m also not overweight. I think it’s important to listen to your body and not associate snacking with being bad.

      @TheFromScratchFarmhouse  Місяць тому +2

      I totally agree that it is very individual. And like I said, we do snack (hence the video 😅) just not like the average American. I will say though that how often we get hungry is often based on what our stomach is used to.
