I'm a 23 year old single woman who has zero intentions of having children... and yet I LOVE these type of videos! Every month I watch your grocery hauls so keep them coming!
Belle is beautiful just the way she is. I hope her new way of eating isn't because she is unhappy with her body. ♡ If Belle ever sees this I hope she know she was fearfully and wonderfully made, she is perfect the way she is. But I say all that to say if eating different makes her feel good than awesome ♡ God Bless
I haven't a been able to watch your channel for months know. We come off grid every three months and I have watch your channel when we come down to Florida for our doctor appointments. So every 3 months we travel and I have watch you guys. You make me feel like I'm part of your family. I am absolutely in love with your family. My husband and I have hard the complete stomach bypass and your diet plans are so helpful even for just the two of us. Our house burned downed and we have doctor Appointments in Florida. We are both on disability and would appreciate a big prayer for us. We love you and God bless you all on and tell your mom and dad hello and Solos mom. You guys are so uplifting. Please keep up your wonderful work.
I know, same when they're cooking! When she's alone (haha, as if), she should use a tripod, or even better, one of those phone/camera holders that you wear on your chest.
You need to start canning your sauces which you could put in your storage. I know your spaghetti sauce is home made could you possibly give your recipe forbit.
Wow!!!! Grace Morgan, my husband and I have been in pain now for weeks upon weeks. In fact Solo and Sarah have been praying for us. We are both down again also, but are listening to worship music and reading our bibles. we agree that God will take away our pain, anxiety and unpleasant memories, we will not lose faith and we will always hope in God. Amen.
Egg wraps are really easy to make. They are basically really thin scrambled eggs. I make them all the time. You can use the whole egg or just egg whites. Here is basically how it works,make as many or as few as you want: 1. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Grease with butter or oil. 2. In a bowl, crack one egg and mix well with a fork. 3. Pour into a hot pan and tilt pan to spread egg into a large circle on the bottom of the pan. 4. Let cook 30 seconds. (Sprinkle with seasonings if desired) 5. Carefully flip with a large spatula and let cook another 30 seconds. 6. Remove from pan and repeat with as many eggs as desired. 7. Let egg wraps cool slightly (or fully), top as desired with fillings, roll and serve warm or cold. You can make some in advance and store in the fridge a ziptop bag (or an airtight storage container) with parchment paper in between for a few days
I think the same thing! We live in Hong Kong and everything is so darn expensive! They don’t even sell gallons of milk. You can imagine how many times we need to go to the store with small fridges in small apartments with small milk containers 😂😂😂
Im the only girl and i was always called by my 3 brothers names to the point my mum used to say which one are you 🤣 niw my granddad gets me and my cousin mixed up 🤦♀️
Good tip is to write with a sharpie the Best Buy dates on the lids and front labels on items in your storage. It makes it so easy to know which items to use first. Sometimes the printed dates can be so small.
My family of 6 raised several cows to eat as I grew up. Best beef, ever!! I love that you encourage all of your kids to healthfully but I do worry a bit about Belle eating low carb. She is prime age to develop eating issues, even though I know that is the last thing you are trying to do. Abbey Sharp is an RD who has really great videos on how to eat mindfully and talk about food in a positive way, which is so important when kids get older
Yeah and it’s also the age your hormones go to shit and your body changes week to week 🤷♀️ nothing that came out of Sarah’s mouth was talking about food in a negative way.
@@Chknslim1273 Correct me if I'm wrong, but she was saying she admired the fact that Sarah was encouraging her children to eat healthy, all her kids. Besides its not nonsensical, Bell is 14 or 15.
I freeze avocados when they are on sale. I just cut in half, put and sprinkle with lemon or lime and freeze on cookie sheet, then bag and thaw when needed
Good night from Australia :) It was a fun treat to have a notification and get to watch your video before bed. A great way to end the Lord’s day! I hope your freezer troubles are resolved quickly 😬 Your food haul videos are great, sometimes I make pretend ones when I’m unpacking my groceries hehe
I really love how supportive you are of your children's eating preferences. For example, buying items that Belle wanted to try that support her low carb eating. Also, thanks for the yummy ideas!
I purchase 50 to 60 rock hard Avocados from Aldi’s when they are on sale. I keep 6 in a basket on my counter and put the rest in the refrigerator. When I use one from the basket I replace it with one out of the refrigerator. Rarely do I have one spoil. I do this when they cost 50 cents or less. I must stress they need to be bright green & rock hard no soft spots. If you’re skeptical of doing this start out small using 10 avocados with 2 on counter. Since they are rock hard it will take a few days before the first ones are ready to use. I’ve been doing this for over 20 yrs. When we lived in California I was given a gunny sack full of Avocados & when I said I would never be able to use them before they spoil I was asked “haven’t you ever heard of cold storage”. So that’s how I began storing my Avocados.
I take a romaine leaf and fill it with, tuna salad, tomatoe and mozzarella balls, chicken salad. I treat the romaine like a wrap. Fill it with anything! I am a single parent of 4 grown children. am a empty nester now. Watching you and other channels of large families is just so much fun!
I know it wasn’t included in this month’s grocery haul, but have you thought of buying your honey in bulk from a local farmer? I have a friend that buys a 5 gallon tub and it took them 2-3 years to finish it (they’re a family of 6)! They save a good amount of money, and support their local farms!
You should try dehydrating fruits, etc. Your bunch eats so healthy and I bet your kids would like making fruit leathers (like fruit roll ups), etc. Great family.
If you slice your avocado and place it in the freezer in a single layer on a tray it actually freezes really well. Just learnt this trick recently, after they are frozen I just put them in a bag in the freezer and take them out individually as needed.
Recipe Pastor Sarah and kids. 1 can salmon or tuna, 2 eggs, chopped fine onion [green or other variety], Italian blend bread crumbs 1 cup, mix well and form burgers. Each can makes 2-3 burgers. On bun add grilled onion, white cheese or yellow[ ie. mozzarella, Swiss, provolone, cheddar] add mayo or butter to bun or salad dressing or plain, slice tomato, sliced avocado. Cook your burgers in small amount of butter or oil on low heat, you can grill them also. When they are browned on both sides continue to cook slowly for 20 minutes on low heat. You can add pickles to your plate or burger and celery, you can add chips as a side. If you have time while burgers are on grill or pan in the last few minutes add your cheese to bring on the melt, top with the grilled onion and then place directly on your prepared topped bun. Sarah congratulations on your churches growth and thanks for having me over to your home to meet the kids and Solo. It has been a while since we visited but I enjoy this recipe so will you. Carrot sticks are a cool idea. Crystal light and pure water bottled make into some sweet frozen drinks just as good as popsicles also freeze your bananas, 2 for each serving and when you remove the frozen banana add any fruit, blueberry, strawberry, blackberry,pineapple, and blend. Choose 1 fruit per serving and blend it till it is like butter. Makes a real good frozen snack.Add one scoop of any ice cream or frozen yogart and you will be completely satisfied or eat it plain. I LOVE YOU IN CHRIST. Sandra their Michelle
Not sure it will help, but just in March, our less than 2 yr old upright freezer was left open overnight, most things had started thawing. We removed n borrowed my sister's at her house. We left unplugged for 2-3 days, used lots of hot water and a fan to thaw out coils, cleaned it out, then plugged back in. Is working great now. Everything freezes up when left open, then the horror begins. Try if u havn't already and good luck!
I work in a school cafeteria. We have deli roll ups. We use tortilla wraps 12in so they can be rolled. Lay the wrap down cover it lightly with ranch spread. Then add pimentos, cheese, ham and spinach roll it up and cut at an angle. Ranch spread ( pack dry ranch and sour cream). Cheese whatever you want. Ham or any other kind of meat you want. It is sooo easy and sooo good. Cauliflower steamed and mix you up some mayonnaise and mustard put on the cauliflower after it is steamed. Omgosh!!!!!
Cauliflower is your side dish. Oh the roll ups can also be cut in smaller sizes for the smaller kids. We make these at home alot or use them as a finger food at showers family get togethers.
Love your videos! This may sound silly but lately I realized one of my favorite things is watching you interact with your older children. My oldest is turning 10 and it has been a great guidance for me as he enters the "not a little kid but not a big kid" years! Thank you ❤
If you find you are not eating bananas fast enough, peel, cut in two inch segments and dip in melted chocolate. I use semi sweet chips. Then freeze. So good and just a few melted chips added to fruit makes a great cold summertime treat by the pool!
I follow(ed)a few you tubers that was on this mama trim fat/really low carb diet for a few years and honestly I haven't seen one of them actually losing weight(maybe more than a few pounds a year that they would mention),even more so, they seem to have gotten bigger.I followed it for a few months and I ended up with stomach pain and high blood pressure just to be told by a few doctors that is actually very bad diet for your heart and is not really sustainable.I love more weight with eating actual healthy meals and smaller portions.Cut the carbs..sure,but not be replaced by heavy diary and meat.Not to be rude but just out of curiosity,have any of you ever lost any weight eating this way and stayed off ?
I actually have, I have lost about 100 pounds. And it is more healthy than eating all the carbs in real dairy like milk. I have never felt so better. And yes if you cut everything right away you will feel sick. And it is kind of funny that all the doctors don’t want you to eat this way because it will make you healthier and this is the way they used to eat back in the 18 and 1900s. They didn’t have all this crap that we have today
She has lost weight after having the baby .. She also exercises an has done well with it .. I know she goes to the Dr. Regularly I hear her say stuff the Dr says when she is breastfeeding...
@@Amychristensonn Cutting carbs will always make you lose weight but replacing them with high animal fat products will hurt your heart in the long run. Is not a secret anymore.Not seen one youtuber that followed this crazy diet to actually lose weight.Is not to be rude and is not really my problem,but I wish people will search a diet before making themself ill
I'm sure you have thousands that contact you daily....but I just wanted to say also how much I love you and your family. I think you're all adorable. Would love to meet you all some day but will meet when the Lord calls us home. God Bless each of you....
You can make egg lace wraps by winking up eggs n little milk etc then put in a sauce bottle with thin nozzle and drizzle the egg on a hot pan crisscrossing it all over. It will be nice n thin and crispy. Devine. Also a great pancake recipe I use for us diabetics, PANCAKE: 1/2 cup plain flour, 1/2 cup self raising flour, 1 1/2 cups milk and 1 egg. Makes 2 fat pancakes of about 5-6 smaller ones for us. This way I can enjoy my sugar and lemon topping as a treat.
I saw the egg/cheese waffles you made last week and I tried them. I bought a single serving size waffle maker. It came today and I made my first waffle tonight. It IS a delicious low carb snack. Thank you so much for the suggestion.
KETO-Drink: 250ml almond milk, 20ml coconut milk, 5g cocoa powder (unsweetened) and sweetener to taste. Warm up and enjoy a cup pf hot chocolate with very little carbs. If you like peanut butter: 100g unsweetened peanut butter, 20g coconut oil, 20g shredded coconut, sweetener to taste. Stir it all up, portion the dough like flat cookies on a plate and freeze/cool shortly. Think about the net carbs before eating them all at once :-)
Yay! This reminds me of why I subscribed to your channel! Why am I so fascinated with your family’s hauls & meal prep? I don’t know but you & Jammerril make me happy! lol
I agree--sandwiches are it! I have come to realize that sandwiches are a comfort food for me--I've been eating them a lot during this COVID crisis. Also, I kind of do the same thing you do--except use the meat as the wrapper and put stuff on the inside, lol. So good!!!
I am in Australia and I have discovered you 2 weeks ago. I am in oar of what you do. I just wished where I lived in Australia we had Costco and Aldi. We have Coles Woolworths and IGA. Love watching you. Great ideas
I shopped for 2 weeks also. For our family of five, soon-to-be 6 in the next few weeks (I'm 37 weeks pregnant). Food is definitely cheaper you live! We live in the Northeast. Looking forward to seeing update on your half a cow, I would love to do that next year. Since I'm pregnant right now, I'm not eating low carb but I try to eat moderate carbs. I eat hummus with gluten-free crackers, mashed avocado on rice cake with everything but the bagel seasoning, also been loving homemade German potato salad... But that's definitely not low carb! one little low carb snack that I enjoy are those little Asian seaweed squares, and I roll them up with avocado. I also love the trader Joe's dairy-free ice cream for a treat!
Yay!! Sarah you did it! You invited viewers to subscribe to your channel!! 🥰 I promise I am kindly teasing. ❤️❤️. I know you said it’s hard for you to do but your channel deserves the invite to subscribe. Your family is definitely one of my favorites families to watch. 👍🏾
I love watching your grocery hauls! I always get new and delicious ideas (I’m totally trying the deli cheese wrap, though we follow a low sodium diet as well, so will have to check those amounts.) I’m a nurse, as well, and was a “SAHM” for 6 years with my two kids and I love seeing how you stretch your budget but aren’t completely skimping on things you know your family likes and will eat! That was a big key for our family, too, and we sure didn’t eat out as much! As always, THANK YOU for sharing a glimpse of your daily family life with us! I ❤️ seeing your family of 12 and know God has blessed you abundantly, as you continue to bless others also! 💗💕
I freeze all my bananas without the peel. For ice cream use frozen banana 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and honey or maple syrup it’s excellent. No bake bars Oatmeal dark chocolate chips Coconut oil maple syrup and vanilla mix in natural peanut butter. That’s what said me. Those 2 recipes. I hope you try them!
Hi Sarah! My lunch today is apple slices with peanut butter, which also makes a great snack. Sometimes I change it up and do carrot sticks with peanut butter. I have some more recipes for you, will email them soon. Judah is going to be an awesome husband one day for a very lucky woman!!! Love your vlog and your family.
You should try our fav salad we can’t get enough of at my house. Chunks of tomatoes, cucumber, green bell peppers and yellow onions. Add oil (light olive or vegetable) and apple cider or rice vinegar + salt to taste. Feta crumble optional . Once the tomatoes have a chance to soak it’s amazing to eat with just bread. So good!!
If you want no sugar added balsamic glaze, put balsamic vinegar in a saucepan and reduce. Stir and keep an eye on it. It will burn if left unattended. It taste delicious
I lovvvveeeee your videos! I get so excited to watch past and present grocery hauls. I’m always telling my family about what you buy, how much, etc. It makes me wanna have a bunch of kids just to food shop lol Btw your hair is getting so long, it’s so pretty! 😇🥰
Thanks for posting these often. I only have four children 8,9,12, & 17. I went to Sam's recently and the woman behind me in line asked what I was going to do with all of that produce. 😳 I told her how I store it, thinking that is what she meant. She then said she raised 5 grandkids and had never purchased that much produce. I felt a little weird. I didn't mention we are also growing 2 gardens. With all of the work involved with farming and swimming every day, my kids can EAT! 😂 I freeze milk to always have it on hand because we don't live close to town. I get a lot of looks when I buy 12 gallons at a time. Anyway I love seeing what you buy and thanks for making me feel so much more normal! You have such a beautiful family. I wish my kids got along as well as yours. God bless you!
Great video and I love the cheese wraps but I am a big cheese lover. I hope your every two weeks grocery hall works out for your family. Just keep in mind that Sam's and Costco do have great sales and don't miss those deals when you can.
If you want that balsamic glazey texture, but are avoiding sugar, put the regular balsamic in a pan and reduce it a bit! Works perfectly, just keep an eye on it to not burn 👌🏻
I listen to your husband massage today I enjoyed it. Thank you pastor Solo I really appreciate it. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family 🙏❤🇯🇲🇺🇸
Those Atkins treats are made using malitol as the sugar substitute. Just be aware that it is almost as high as sugar on the glycemic index & might spike your blood sugar like regular sugar. Might be why they tasted so good! 😆
Your grandmother has been on my heart and mind today! I was wondering how she was doing with the isolation due to the virus. I’m hoping by now she’s been able to have visitors. I just cried on the video where you showed the kids having to visit through the window. 💜
We really like them!!!...I don’t have a large family so I buy them and cut them into slices and freeze the slices and pull it out and bake it when we want pizza👍
You are a good shopper hun .have you tried mince and veg browned and put it in a Cassarole dish top with mash potatoes and cheese on top .lovely dish serve with veg good filling meal xx
I'm always so excited to see your grocery hauls! May I suggest dried beans, rice, flavored waters, pasta and sauces for your long term pantry. I store my beans, rice and pasta in half gallon Mason jars, that I vacuum sealed, in my walk in closet I turned into my pantry. Also a good thing to add to your long term pantry is paper products (plates,paper towels, toilet paper), First Aid supplies and sanitary items and soaps. I never thought I'd see a time like we are experiencing but it has shown me where my long term items are weak.. Praying for better days ahead!
may i say that i take extra chicken breast in pressure cooker then i shred and dehydrate and put in vacuum seal bags. cheaper and healthier than can. no preservatives. saves space and weight.
I am glad you thought to have treats in your food storage. That was one thing we didnt have during lockdown here. Needless to say we have treats in there now.
You probably won't see this comment but a nice little recipe I do is replace the mayonnaise with low fat cottage cheese in my tomato/avocado/radishes salad. I add garlic and wholegrain mustard. It is a very nice low fat lunch :)
Avocados freeze really well. You can put the entire, whole avocado in the freezer and when you want to use one take it out the night before and put it the fridge or take it out in the morning and set on the counter. You can also mash them and freeze them in a freezer bag.
I love quick pickled red onions on wraps or sandwiches. Just water, apple cider vinegar heated in the microwave with a bit of sugar then dissolved and pour over the thinly sliced onions in a mason jar. I use them on everything and even eat out of the jar as a snack.
We got the coconut, chocolate peanut butter and pretzels Atkins soooooo goood love them when there room temperature yummmm and we got the peanut butter cups too sooo good like who ever said keto is hard when you got such amazing options !! And flavourful
I really appreciate your videos. We're expecting our 7th child and you give me so many ideas. You meal plans changed my life and now my husband hates if I don't have a menu up.
Low carb treat...I have no idea what it is called, but you take 1 large container of cottage cheese and mix 1-2 (taste preference) boxes of sugar free jello and 1 container of cool whip. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour. I like the orange jello, and I add mandarin oranges. You can do any flavor with or without fruit. Enjoy! ❤
Perfect Keto cookies are great! As are their cinnamon bars. The Keto Brown Butter chocolate chip cookie recipe by Carnaldish is the best especially when I add some toasted unsweetened shredded coconut. Hope you enjoy.
Balsamic glaze is just reduces balsamic vinegar. It is sweeter because it naturally has a lot of sugar in it. It is delicious. You can make it yourself by cooking balsamic vinegar until it is thick. Yum!!!!
I made crustless ham & tomato quiches + parmesan also cheddar. Serve with green salad. Super easy to do cheap & Yummy. I bake 3 trays. One for dinner, one for neighbour one for tomorrow lunch. Came back from work really tired but I love easy cooking while having cuppa tea. Hubby & kids are happy. ❤️
This notification just interrupted me watching one of your meal prep videos - haha I love all your videos but the grocery hauls are my favorite I guess (meal prep a very close second!)
A good recipe for the ground beef is taco shell casserole. You buy the big pasta shells stuff it with taco seasoned ground beef, cheese and salsa. Then layer cheese on top and bake it. It sounds weird but it's so delicious ❤
I make egg wraps- just 2 eggs (because I want a big one lol) and some seasoning you like, stir vigorously, heat some oil in a non stick pan and pour the eggs into the pan. Lid on, let cook on medium heat until top is dry, flip once. LOVE it.
Not saying that belle has an eating disorder, but I know the first thing I restricted and the thing I was most afraid of eating when I was deep in my own disorder (at around Belle's age) was carbs. It took about a month of therapy and nutritional counseling to get me to eat pasta, and 6 months to not hate myself after. Teaching children to avoid a very important (carbs are our body's preferred energy source!! Unless you have a significant amount of superficial body fat, your body will take from muscle and protein that you eat before essential fat stores!) food group isnt really promoting health, its villainizing food, something we should cherish and respect.
Another great keto recipe is for bagels. It calls for only 5 ingredients & today I left out 2 of them-so only coconut flour, cheese, & eggs. They are delicious & freeze well!
I'm a 23 year old single woman who has zero intentions of having children... and yet I LOVE these type of videos! Every month I watch your grocery hauls so keep them coming!

For your balsamic vinegar. If you reduce it in a pot. You can make.youe own glaze without any sugar. X
Raise your hand if you kept yelling, “Just hand the camera to one of your kids and make that cheese wrap with two hands!!” 😂😂

You worry about a teenager eating healthy? Kids don’t need junk and sugar and high carb foods. Take your nonsensical worries elsewhere..
Everyone on the planet can benefit from a low carb diet. Less sugar? Oh no! 😂
Yeah and it’s also the age your hormones go to shit and your body changes week to week 🤷♀️ nothing that came out of Sarah’s mouth was talking about food in a negative way.

do they need to be ripe or will they ripen when you take them out?

You can add pickles to your plate or burger and celery, you can add chips as a side. If you have time while burgers are on grill or pan in the last few minutes add your cheese to bring on the melt, top with the grilled onion and then place directly on your prepared topped bun. Sarah congratulations on your churches growth and thanks for having me over to your home to meet the kids and Solo. It has been a while since we visited but I enjoy this recipe so will you. Carrot sticks are a cool idea. Crystal light and pure water bottled make into some sweet frozen drinks just as good as popsicles also freeze your bananas, 2 for each serving and when you remove the frozen banana add any fruit, blueberry, strawberry, blackberry,pineapple, and blend. Choose 1 fruit per serving and blend it till it is like butter. Makes a real good frozen snack.Add one scoop of any ice cream or frozen yogart and you will be completely satisfied or eat it plain. I LOVE YOU IN CHRIST. Sandra their Michelle
Be careful with atkin bars. I allowed myself 2 in a 24 hour period and they had me running to the bathroom. 😂 they are so good though!
Lots of fiber😂😂
Good ol’sugar alcohol lol... I read the horror stories on some of the Atkins product reviews especially ones with Maltitol 😬
It’s the maltitol in them that can have that effect on people.
S T oh snap!
yeah my mil ate a whole box of adkins treats in one evening. She never did that again!
Not sure it will help, but just in March, our less than 2 yr old upright freezer was left open overnight, most things had started thawing. We removed n borrowed my sister's at her house. We left unplugged for 2-3 days, used lots of hot water and a fan to thaw out coils, cleaned it out, then plugged back in. Is working great now. Everything freezes up when left open, then the horror begins. Try if u havn't already and good luck!
I work in a school cafeteria. We have deli roll ups. We use tortilla wraps 12in so they can be rolled. Lay the wrap down cover it lightly with ranch spread. Then add pimentos, cheese, ham and spinach roll it up and cut at an angle. Ranch spread ( pack dry ranch and sour cream). Cheese whatever you want. Ham or any other kind of meat you want. It is sooo easy and sooo good. Cauliflower steamed and mix you up some mayonnaise and mustard put on the cauliflower after it is steamed. Omgosh!!!!!
Cauliflower is your side dish. Oh the roll ups can also be cut in smaller sizes for the smaller kids. We make these at home alot or use them as a finger food at showers family get togethers.
Yaaaayyy! New video! Thanks Sarah. I LOVE watching this channel. 👊👌❤🙌
Love your videos! This may sound silly but lately I realized one of my favorite things is watching you interact with your older children. My oldest is turning 10 and it has been a great guidance for me as he enters the "not a little kid but not a big kid" years! Thank you ❤
If you find you are not eating bananas fast enough, peel, cut in two inch segments and dip in melted chocolate. I use semi sweet chips. Then freeze. So good and just a few melted chips added to fruit makes a great cold summertime treat by the pool!
I follow(ed)a few you tubers that was on this mama trim fat/really low carb diet for a few years and honestly I haven't seen one of them actually losing weight(maybe more than a few pounds a year that they would mention),even more so, they seem to have gotten bigger.I followed it for a few months and I ended up with stomach pain and high blood pressure just to be told by a few doctors that is actually very bad diet for your heart and is not really sustainable.I love more weight with eating actual healthy meals and smaller portions.Cut the carbs..sure,but not be replaced by heavy diary and meat.Not to be rude but just out of curiosity,have any of you ever lost any weight eating this way and stayed off ?
I actually have, I have lost about 100 pounds. And it is more healthy than eating all the carbs in real dairy like milk. I have never felt so better. And yes if you cut everything right away you will feel sick. And it is kind of funny that all the doctors don’t want you to eat this way because it will make you healthier and this is the way they used to eat back in the 18 and 1900s. They didn’t have all this crap that we have today
She has lost weight after having the baby .. She also exercises an has done well with it .. I know she goes to the Dr. Regularly I hear her say stuff the Dr says when she is breastfeeding...
@@Amychristensonn Cutting carbs will always make you lose weight but replacing them with high animal fat products will hurt your heart in the long run. Is not a secret anymore.Not seen one youtuber that followed this crazy diet to actually lose weight.Is not to be rude and is not really my problem,but I wish people will search a diet before making themself ill
I'm sure you have thousands that contact you daily....but I just wanted to say also how much I love you and your family. I think you're all adorable. Would love to meet you all some day but will meet when the Lord calls us home. God Bless each of you....
You can make egg lace wraps by winking up eggs n little milk etc then put in a sauce bottle with thin nozzle and drizzle the egg on a hot pan crisscrossing it all over. It will be nice n thin and crispy. Devine. Also a great pancake recipe I use for us diabetics, PANCAKE: 1/2 cup plain flour, 1/2 cup self raising flour, 1 1/2 cups milk and 1 egg. Makes 2 fat pancakes of about 5-6 smaller ones for us. This way I can enjoy my sugar and lemon topping as a treat.
I saw the egg/cheese waffles you made last week and I tried them. I bought a single serving size waffle maker. It came today and I made my first waffle tonight. It IS a delicious low carb snack. Thank you so much for the suggestion.
KETO-Drink: 250ml almond milk, 20ml coconut milk, 5g cocoa powder (unsweetened) and sweetener to taste. Warm up and enjoy a cup pf hot chocolate with very little carbs.
If you like peanut butter: 100g unsweetened peanut butter, 20g coconut oil, 20g shredded coconut, sweetener to taste. Stir it all up, portion the dough like flat cookies on a plate and freeze/cool shortly. Think about the net carbs before eating them all at once :-)
I love your channels. Thanks for showing your family life!!!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us.
The best way to build up storage is to stock up when things are on sale.
I hardly comment but you are a lovely mum loved the haul ❤
❤️❤️❤️
@@OurTribeofMany your welcome Sarah and Solo regards to all 💞
Yay! This reminds me of why I subscribed to your channel! Why am I so fascinated with your family’s hauls & meal prep? I don’t know but you & Jammerril make me happy! lol
Agree!! I religiously watch both channels!
I agree--sandwiches are it! I have come to realize that sandwiches are a comfort food for me--I've been eating them a lot during this COVID crisis. Also, I kind of do the same thing you do--except use the meat as the wrapper and put stuff on the inside, lol. So good!!!
I am in Australia and I have discovered you 2 weeks ago. I am in oar of what you do. I just wished where I lived in Australia we had Costco and Aldi. We have Coles Woolworths and IGA. Love watching you. Great ideas
Love your family and videos. So well done . Enjoying all the food videos especially.
Great video!
FYI, the egg wraps make an excellent alternative to the noodles in a lasagna. We do a lot of low carb as well.
I shopped for 2 weeks also. For our family of five, soon-to-be 6 in the next few weeks (I'm 37 weeks pregnant). Food is definitely cheaper you live! We live in the Northeast. Looking forward to seeing update on your half a cow, I would love to do that next year. Since I'm pregnant right now, I'm not eating low carb but I try to eat moderate carbs. I eat hummus with gluten-free crackers, mashed avocado on rice cake with everything but the bagel seasoning, also been loving homemade German potato salad... But that's definitely not low carb! one little low carb snack that I enjoy are those little Asian seaweed squares, and I roll them up with avocado. I also love the trader Joe's dairy-free ice cream for a treat!
Great video. I’m going to look for those wraps next time I go to the store. Many thanks.
Yay!! Sarah you did it! You invited viewers to subscribe to your channel!! 🥰 I promise I am kindly teasing. ❤️❤️. I know you said it’s hard for you to do but your channel deserves the invite to subscribe. Your family is definitely one of my favorites families to watch. 👍🏾
Use a mixer to beat together heavy whipping cream and sugar free pudding mix.... AMAZING low carb option. I freeze it
I love watching your grocery hauls! I always get new and delicious ideas (I’m totally trying the deli cheese wrap, though we follow a low sodium diet as well, so will have to check those amounts.) I’m a nurse, as well, and was a “SAHM” for 6 years with my two kids and I love seeing how you stretch your budget but aren’t completely skimping on things you know your family likes and will eat! That was a big key for our family, too, and we sure didn’t eat out as much! As always, THANK YOU for sharing a glimpse of your daily family life with us! I ❤️ seeing your family of 12 and know God has blessed you abundantly, as you continue to bless others also! 💗💕
Thanks for watching!
I freeze all my bananas without the peel. For ice cream use frozen banana 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and honey or maple syrup it’s excellent.
No bake bars
Oatmeal dark chocolate chips
Coconut oil maple syrup and vanilla mix in natural peanut butter.
That’s what said me. Those 2 recipes.
I hope you try them!
Hi Sarah! My lunch today is apple slices with peanut butter, which also makes a great snack. Sometimes I change it up and do carrot sticks with peanut butter. I have some more recipes for you, will email them soon. Judah is going to be an awesome husband one day for a very lucky woman!!! Love your vlog and your family.
You should try our fav salad we can’t get enough of at my house. Chunks of tomatoes, cucumber, green bell peppers and yellow onions. Add oil (light olive or vegetable) and apple cider or rice vinegar + salt to taste. Feta crumble optional . Once the tomatoes have a chance to soak it’s amazing to eat with just bread. So good!!
Super excited did not know about the cheese wraps , am so picking some up tomorrow... and love your videos.
I don't have children and I live on the other side of the world but i love your shopping videos 😍
Beautiful family too
If you want no sugar added balsamic glaze, put balsamic vinegar in a saucepan and reduce. Stir and keep an eye on it. It will burn if left unattended. It taste delicious
I lovvvveeeee your videos! I get so excited to watch past and present grocery hauls. I’m always telling my family about what you buy, how much, etc. It makes me wanna have a bunch of kids just to food shop lol Btw your hair is getting so long, it’s so pretty! 😇🥰
I have great admiration for you and Solo for raising children who will be leaders of their generation.
Thanks for posting these often. I only have four children 8,9,12, & 17. I went to Sam's recently and the woman behind me in line asked what I was going to do with all of that produce. 😳 I told her how I store it, thinking that is what she meant. She then said she raised 5 grandkids and had never purchased that much produce. I felt a little weird. I didn't mention we are also growing 2 gardens. With all of the work involved with farming and swimming every day, my kids can EAT! 😂 I freeze milk to always have it on hand because we don't live close to town. I get a lot of looks when I buy 12 gallons at a time. Anyway I love seeing what you buy and thanks for making me feel so much more normal! You have such a beautiful family. I wish my kids got along as well as yours. God bless you!
I love looking at the groceries people buy. I always spot new stuff.
I love you and Solo and your beautiful family I hope your freezer gets fixed fast Ackins are great all kinds hope you doing ok ✝️❤️🙏🏽💕
Sugar free jello with whipped cream! Definitely our go to keto snack when we are craving something sweet!
Great video and I love the cheese wraps but I am a big cheese lover. I hope your every two weeks grocery hall works out for your family. Just keep in mind that Sam's and Costco do have great sales and don't miss those deals when you can.
If you want that balsamic glazey texture, but are avoiding sugar, put the regular balsamic in a pan and reduce it a bit! Works perfectly, just keep an eye on it to not burn 👌🏻
I listen to your husband massage today I enjoyed it. Thank you pastor Solo I really appreciate it. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family 🙏❤🇯🇲🇺🇸
Those Atkins treats are made using malitol as the sugar substitute. Just be aware that it is almost as high as sugar on the glycemic index & might spike your blood sugar like regular sugar. Might be why they tasted so good! 😆
I just love your channel:) Thank you for posting!
I never get bored of your grocery videos 😍
Good grocery haul,very healthy.Love to find cheese wraps in Canada.Happy summer🏊♂️🍦🌯🥙🏊♀️🚴♂️🚴♀️
Your grandmother has been on my heart and mind today! I was wondering how she was doing with the isolation due to the virus. I’m hoping by now she’s been able to have visitors. I just cried on the video where you showed the kids having to visit through the window. 💜
Love your grocery hauls, I’m a single woman with no kids to feed but I find so much enjoyment watching these :)
Bananas don't go bad they go banana bread.
And into the freezer for smoothies
Yessss!😍
Frozen bananas sliced are runners' version of ice crean
Aldi pizza is really good and very inexpensive....I love to get them on a random Friday night
We had Mama cozzi pizza last night! So good.
They are really good for a frozen pizzas from there
We really like them!!!...I don’t have a large family so I buy them and cut them into slices and freeze the slices and pull it out and bake it when we want pizza👍
We love them too👍
You are a good shopper hun .have you tried mince and veg browned and put it in a Cassarole dish top with mash potatoes and cheese on top .lovely dish serve with veg good filling meal xx
I'm always so excited to see your grocery hauls! May I suggest dried beans, rice, flavored waters, pasta and sauces for your long term pantry.
I store my beans, rice and pasta in half gallon Mason jars, that I vacuum sealed, in my walk in closet I turned into my pantry. Also a good thing to add to your long term pantry is paper products (plates,paper towels, toilet paper), First Aid supplies and sanitary items and soaps.
I never thought I'd see a time like we are experiencing but it has shown me where my long term items are weak.. Praying for better days ahead!
Great suggestions for the pantry. Thanks!
My pleasure
Thank you. For always being so open and honest.
may i say that i take extra chicken breast in pressure cooker then i shred and dehydrate and put in vacuum seal bags. cheaper and healthier than can. no preservatives. saves space and weight.
I am glad you thought to have treats in your food storage. That was one thing we didnt have during lockdown here. Needless to say we have treats in there now.
That wrap at the end looked so good!!
You probably won't see this comment but a nice little recipe I do is replace the mayonnaise with low fat cottage cheese in my tomato/avocado/radishes salad. I add garlic and wholegrain mustard. It is a very nice low fat lunch :)
I rarely get to hear, Woah Nelly. It’s one of my favorites. I’m teaching it to my grandson. Thank you for sounding like home!
Avocados freeze really well. You can put the entire, whole avocado in the freezer and when you want to use one take it out the night before and put it the fridge or take it out in the morning and set on the counter. You can also mash them and freeze them in a freezer bag.
I love how helpful&respectful ur children r!
Just tried guacamole on a wrap for the first time and I love it! Thank you for the idea!
I love quick pickled red onions on wraps or sandwiches. Just water, apple cider vinegar heated in the microwave with a bit of sugar then dissolved and pour over the thinly sliced onions in a mason jar. I use them on everything and even eat out of the jar as a snack.
We got the coconut, chocolate peanut butter and pretzels Atkins soooooo goood love them when there room temperature yummmm and we got the peanut butter cups too sooo good like who ever said keto is hard when you got such amazing options !! And flavourful
My snack lately.....a jar of peanut butter and a spoon.🥺
Those cheese wraps look great. I will have to try them. Yum!
I just LOVE this family... Y'all need a TV show on TLC network plus I will watch it
That would be awesome!
I would love to see tlc to give them a season x
That would be awesome!!
I don't know, I feel like TV shows are the last nail in the coffin for a lot of families...
@@allysond727 Agreed! TLC spells "disaster". Too much performing, no longer natural.
Mozzarella, Tomatoes sliced with fresh basil leaves & balsamic , I am British but live in Egypt 🇪🇬
Also wanted to add that your service today at Lincoln was amazing !! Really enjoyed the song fight my battles !!! Beautiful work 🥰😉🤍
Good to have you at church today!!
I really appreciate your videos. We're expecting our 7th child and you give me so many ideas. You meal plans changed my life and now my husband hates if I don't have a menu up.
Low carb treat...I have no idea what it is called, but you take 1 large container of cottage cheese and mix 1-2 (taste preference) boxes of sugar free jello and 1 container of cool whip. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour. I like the orange jello, and I add mandarin oranges. You can do any flavor with or without fruit. Enjoy! ❤
I’ve had that. My mom used to make it. So good!
Perfect Keto cookies are great! As are their cinnamon bars. The Keto Brown Butter chocolate chip cookie recipe by Carnaldish is the best especially when I add some toasted unsweetened shredded coconut. Hope you enjoy.
And potatoes wil grow everywhere! Just put them in the ground when they have roots
Balsamic glaze is just reduces balsamic vinegar. It is sweeter because it naturally has a lot of sugar in it. It is delicious. You can make it yourself by cooking balsamic vinegar until it is thick. Yum!!!!
I made crustless ham & tomato quiches + parmesan also cheddar. Serve with green salad. Super easy to do cheap & Yummy. I bake 3 trays. One for dinner, one for neighbour one for tomorrow lunch. Came back from work really tired but I love easy cooking while having cuppa tea. Hubby & kids are happy. ❤️
For your storage area, it's convenient to take a black marker and write the expiry larger. Boxes and cans
The Atkins chocolate Carmel squares and m&ms are awesome as well!!
This notification just interrupted me watching one of your meal prep videos - haha I love all your videos but the grocery hauls are my favorite I guess (meal prep a very close second!)
Amazing haul...you gave me some great ideas for healthier food choices, thank you...big hugs, loves, and prayers!!!!!
A good recipe for the ground beef is taco shell casserole. You buy the big pasta shells stuff it with taco seasoned ground beef, cheese and salsa. Then layer cheese on top and bake it. It sounds weird but it's so delicious ❤
Yay!! My favorite part of the month!! AND we will get another one too!! You guys are awesome. I hope your freezer gets fixed soon!!!!
I make egg wraps- just 2 eggs (because I want a big one lol) and some seasoning you like, stir vigorously, heat some oil in a non stick pan and pour the eggs into the pan. Lid on, let cook on medium heat until top is dry, flip once. LOVE it.
Not saying that belle has an eating disorder, but I know the first thing I restricted and the thing I was most afraid of eating when I was deep in my own disorder (at around Belle's age) was carbs. It took about a month of therapy and nutritional counseling to get me to eat pasta, and 6 months to not hate myself after. Teaching children to avoid a very important (carbs are our body's preferred energy source!! Unless you have a significant amount of superficial body fat, your body will take from muscle and protein that you eat before essential fat stores!) food group isnt really promoting health, its villainizing food, something we should cherish and respect.
Another great keto recipe is for bagels. It calls for only 5 ingredients & today I left out 2 of them-so only coconut flour, cheese, & eggs. They are delicious & freeze well!
