13-year-old boys definitely eat a lot-and the should! They are growing and their bodies need lots of nutrition! I am glad you got those protein bars for your son! Also, wheat bread with lots of PB is filling and tasty. The goal is to fill them up with relatively healthy food.
Waiting for 3 hours is NOT a waste of time-you are accomplishing something. You’re getting food for your family and you are showing your kids that you will go what needs to be done to meet their needs and care for them.
for the tomato paste i would make 3 large batches of spaghetti sauce and freeze it for when ever i wanted spaghetti for a year. 1 can tomato paste 1 can crushed tomatoes 2 can diced tomatoes at least 1/2 a can hot water. i would use a 10 lb chub of meat, 10 onions 10 sweet peppers a whole 16 oz of minced garlic and lots of basil, oregano , rosemary and thyme. oh and yes i mean number 10 cans
That looks like at least $100 dollars worth of food. Even if you wait 3 hrs that’s still $33 dollars worth an hour. I’m glad it’s getting eaten rather than thrown away too.
A very valid perspective. I've used something similar with coworkers depending on the situation. My dad was a construction worker, so feast or famine. My Mom judged our purchases by thinking of how many hours he had to work.
Hi 🌿. Great haul. Take a cookie scoop and portion the tomato paste onto a baking sheet.🍅 Freeze and then pack them in a box. Then you can take as many as you need for different dishes. You can also take a jar of the tomato paste🍅 and make a large batch of creamy tomato soup🥣, freezing in portions. Perfect to have ready for a simple meal, with grilled cheese sandwich.🥪 Take care, Birgitta 🥰🍁🌻🍂💙💛
You aren’t “ not accomplishing” something. You’re getting food for your family. I understand three hours is excessive & a long long time. But you are accomplishing something
So well organized and to get to pick out your own food is a blessing. Thanks for sharing! And i get the time thing when you have a family to tend to 3 hours is a very long time ..i hope that time line gets better.thank you for sharing☺️ be blessed you are a great mom.
It is great to make your own sloppy joe sauce, bbq or enchilada sauce. Obviously spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce are great. Some people make it into tomato soup.
I buy the spiral hams when I can get them under $2 a pound and use them for lunch meat. Even the Carl buddig is $4 a pound. Why pay $4 lbs when I can pay $2.

I know you're just joking about your life being a mess but honestly you have a really good life. God has blessed you so tremendously.❤❤
Yes I do. God is so good. ❤️

@@allisonkores8785 that is seriously one of the kindest things anyone has said to me. 🥰
Great to see your back . Good haul
You're not a mess. This is real life.
I'm just wondering what you would do if there wasn't a food bank haul , how would you manage
So glad to see you back! Youve been missed! You give great ideas for everything you receive! Id make pizza sauce and can it for your pizza nights!

Good to see you
So with the tomatoes paste you can freeze it in ice cube trays and then it’s ready for whatever recipe calls for 1 or 2 tablespoons
❤ glad to see you back!
I just freeze it in ziplock bags to add into soup.
Great haul!!!❤❤❤
Pizza sauce
I buy the spiral hams when I can get them under $2 a pound and use them for lunch meat. Even the Carl buddig is $4 a pound. Why pay $4 lbs when I can pay $2.
I got one too, and I’ve been wondering if it could be recanned in glass jars.
The Gatorade brand protein bars are really tasty! That's awesome you were able to get them! 😊
So the hamsters love baby food still. Even the new ones. Lost one so down to 5 and Arthur is on an individual adventure. His gf is probably expecting.
Awesome sister of christ. .
😊😊😊😊
Enjoy your haul 😊❤❤
I use tomato paste to thicken homemade tomato sauce.
Since you do pizza Friday's make pizza sauce from the paste. Quick, easy & delish! I make a batch & freeze in usable sizes for our family.
Pizza sauce is make with tomato paste !
That is a lot of food
Dehydrate the tomato paste in flat spoonful's
😊
❤❤❤
Make sloppy Joe sauce, chili base, marinara sauce, and tomato soup and can it!
I volunteer at a food pantry. We give away about $100 just in meat every month.
You get name brand food from your food bank?
Those items are usually donated from groceries stores because they are nearing or past their expirations dates or are over stocked.
@@weepingwillowhomestead that's a nice food pantry. We don't have things like that around here. Just get canned goods and bulk oatmeal
