- All this year im gojng to work with families every where. teaching and using this homestead of mine as an example of what you can for you and your family.
I truely know what it means to get by and to survive feeding a family. at one time I had a family of 7 to feed and I did it on low income.
I'm going to do my best to help you do the same.
Like I told you I'll be 70 years old in May and when I go to my daughter's she always sends me home with all these leftovers she saves for me out of every meal she makes for me to bring home and they're wonderful and I'm blessed to have that cuz I don't cook much for myself but with what she sends me it lasts me up to 2 weeks I am blessed okay once again back to the video
How sweet. 😊❤
I was at Walmart the other day and found Large Lima Beans. I bought 10 bags. yay for me, planning on canning them b/c I love Butter Beans. I will be moving into my new home this weekend and can't wait to have my own place again and be able to continue canning foods, gardening this spring and summer. Praise the Lord for his blessings upon me... Love your videos and look forward to them each time. God Bless you Carie
Thank you Kathy you make me smile my friend. I'm so ready four spring myself.
Raised beds and seeds are ordered im so so ready.
I had a marathon canning session a couple of weeks ago. I canned beans, two kinds of bean soups and sweet potatoes.
Kroger has chicken legs and thighs on sale this week. I want to can a bunch of it as soup, broth and plain chicken meat.
Anything i have leftover, i will can. I made white chicken chili tonight. I have enough left to can, at least 6-7 pints, if not more. I'm trying to put up as much as possible.
If you have self rising flour and some kind of fat, you can always make bread or biscuits.
Whole pork loin is cheaper than pork that's already cut up. Also, whole chicken is going to be cheaper than cut up.
Little things add up. It breaks my heart to think of how many people are struggling. It didn't have to be like this, nor should be.
Thank you for all you do to encourage everyone to press on and be prepared. It is more important now than ever.
Take care, Carrie.
You completely understand and get it. A good healthy pantry isn't hard to achieve. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I am taking a page out of my mother's playbook (the woman who raised 9 children) in that I am cooking and having beans on the table everyday. I am now eating a cup of beans each day. Nope, you will not notice an increase in gas after the first day, but you will find that you eat less and feel fuller longer.
Very true !!!
My friends husband made some great soup. Black beans, chicken, onions, garlic, quinoa, rice chicken broth. It was so cheap and delicious!
Sounds good :)
Wow. 'Why did I die on the cross for you'? I needed that.
Love your channel....just 2 of us here....1/2 lb. Ground beef, diced onion, 1 bag coleslaw mix....cook until slaw is egg roll consistency....2 servings...top with low sodium soy sauce or salsa and a bit of sour cream (southwest version)... very filling and sugar friendly! Really appreciate your budget diabetic and Mediterranean ideas!
Your welcome, egg roll in a bowl is amazing thank you for sharing
@@partinsheritagehomestead4981 I wanted to encourage others....my liver numbers were high a few years back...we ate mostly Mediterranean style for about 4 months and it brought all my numbers back into a good range ....food can heal! I'm so excited checking out your recipes!
Thank you for your wise advice. I was raised by a mom who could make a good hearty meal out of absolutely absolutely nothing. I never realized just how poor we really were until I was grown. I’m 76 now and never forgot her life lessons. When spoke at her funeral, I thanked her and told her that I never felt poor growing up because she took such good care of us and kept us fed and our clothes clean. We can learn a lot looking back to some of the old ways…I’m thankful for modern conveniences but there is still a lot of old ways that can get you through the hard times.
Amen and very well said
I was the same way- didn’t really know we were poor till I was about 12 as my whole neighborhood was the same. Mom could feed a family of 6 with one can of tuna!
Thank you so much Carrie, it’s just me here till hubby comes home 60-90 days out, I am so tired of my same ole cooking, hubby relying on me to put dinners in freezer for him to take when he goes back on the road. My job is on hold with road construction so I am sooo frugal and I am so glad I stocked my pantry , grow my veggies and can and dehydrate. We eat a lot of chicken , I raise my own meat chickens. Yes bake my own sandwich bread. If I had 2 Nannie’s I would have butter, cheese…really wanting 2 dwarf Nubians but put that in the lords hands. I buy extra every week till my job stops during winter so we are set on food. May the Lord Bless you both with health and abundance.
Thank you hun, it can sound challenging when given a task especially when your not sure where to find resources. Pintrest me friend would help you alot. You get the assignment and all you really need is the resource of recipe. You got this, your really smart to do what you have already done.
People should not be afraid to go to a food pantry or truck. They love helping
Some place like where we live don't have this type of resources. Maybe hard to believe, but it's true
@@partinsheritagehomestead4981 that's poopy... We are lucky I guess in Northern Mi.
We could go almost daily and I live in a little town. Food trucks are a big thing here.
Good morning my beautiful friend
Good morning sunshine 🌞
Gd evening my sister in Christ TY for this video it helps me. I live this way all the time. Stay Warm and Safe ❤🙏🙏🌹
Your welcome hun
I use can of salmon to make salmon patties also do it with cans of tuna. Then we just make a salad.
Yes you also understand the assignment good job with resourceful ideas
Your gray cat likes being on camera , Lv u sincerely Susan 😊
LOL Susan you made me laugh, yes she does.
You have a beautiful cat 🐈
Thank you for this video.
Rofl 🤣 she occasionally photo bombs the place behind my back .... your welcome my friend
Thanks for sharing and reminding me of what I had as a child in the 60s and a young mother in the 80s. I also used coupons and miss those double coupon days. I saved so much money back then using coupons and shopping the weekly ads looking for sales.
Honey there is NOTHING wrong with going back. Honestly many will make it through better.
We buy ground turkey and chicken thighs. I can't remember the last time I bought beef. It's great in all sauces for chili, spaghetti, soups and meatloaf etc. if you want it closer to a beefy flavor for the ground turkey, I add liquid smoke and or smoky paprika and spices. My husband is an avid Deer hunter and was blessed to put 4 deer in our freezer this year. That will tide us over until next season. If any deer is still in the freezer next season I'll either can or dehydrate it to put on our pantry shelf for longer storage.
Love this response!!!! Ya'll understand the assisgnment lol
Carrie, thank you for sharing your tips with us. Your wisdom and knowledge is very helpful in these hard times. God bless you, your family, and your homestead.❤😊
God bless you hun , for keeping me going to be able to be here with everyone.
This was very helpful. Where I live I don’t have a pantry and can’t afford canning supplies. But I could buy canned goods. We do have a 4’X8’ raised garden, and a small balcony that we cram full to grow as much as we can, but it gets ate up as fresh. Buying on sale and storing canned I think is my best bet.
That's why I speak of many ways for family's to survive. I live in the real world and not one sided, so I understand
I want to come over right now and hang out with you and help you do something on your homestead. I'm in Massachusetts so it's not likely but that's how much I connect with you. You give me permission to be flawed even as I fumble to adjust my crown. Because of you I have officially addressed my teeth. Next is smoking and my weight. I never tell anyone I smoke because even I hate me for it. I was an athlete into my 40s. I know I'm a doer and a giver so this season in my life makes no sense. But it's my Job time. Thank you for that. Thank you for being raw and being who you are. You have a gift. Thank you for answering the call
Bless you for this comment...... sometimes even I just need to know if I'm doing the right thing. Hugs
Good evening Carrie,love your ideas and just jotted done all your list. Noticed I was out of brown rice. Off shopping tomorrow and will get that. In cold months I will do more quilting as my brother and sister-in-law are coming to live with us and “Don’t “ prep. Hope to encourage them. Your hair looks lovely as usual never cut it ,it’s your crowning glory. Love to you all and your common sense videos. God bless.🙏🕊💐
Aww thank you beryl what a sweet thing to say. I'm so glad this is helping, and remember not everyone will understand, not everyone gets it. Some find there is no use for such things. Until something happens that shows them otherwise.
My sister in law is on disability and gets a food box from the state, we buy a whole cow and pig every year, we will give her meat and she gives us what she can't or won't eat due to dietary restrictions, I have learned how to can food just to preserve the perishable products
Ya'll sound like you have a really good system as a family going on. Love this
Love your channel ! Love your cat ! You have the best recipies !
Aww thank you 😊 ❤️
Real Talk.💯👍
Thank you
Great Information...If I find pork roast on sale...I cook it off the bone in crock pot or slow bake it for hours till falling off the bone...add spices , sauce and make bar b que pork sandwiches..and freeze the left overs in small 1 or 2 serving containers..It streches a long ways..😊
Good ideas as well thank you for sharing
we all " live to eat" instead of "eat to live"- Great Grandma ate very simple meals- oatmeal or biscuits/homemade gravy for breakfast, soup for lunch, made from veggie scraps, and only had meat maybe 1-2 times a week The whole 3 meals and snacks per day is not how 75% of the world lives- only in America
Yep!! I've seen the same thing, I research deeply what America does for the families....... not exactly happy with it either
My problem this year is I must be gluten-free. I have been buying extra gluten-free flours to have when needed. My librarian cautioned me to make everything from scratch and not use mixes. Of course I tried some and bad reactions. I noticed I am not eating as many vegetables as I should. I bought some canned greens and feel so much better. I believe we all can make improvements.
Living on a Dime to grow rich has a Gluten Free Sugar free cookbook. Tawra the author is on this diet plan and I have heard a lot of good reviews on this cookbook. You can probably to a search on their website for free recipes too. They have a lot of recipes. Simple ones
Thank you Mary for sharing this with vixxcottage . Very kind of you.
@@MaryEavey-dc3sk I have the cookbook. Purchased it when she first published it. Thanks for the info!
Thanks! I want to do this new thing called buy me a cup of coffee. Can’t find it yet. Super thanks it is for now. Thank you Carie ☮️💟
I have to make an account for it hun. I'm researching it. And THANK YOU with a hug.
Barley is a "rice" replacement option too😊
Yes your correct
Thank you for all the information. ❤
Your welcome
Lots of great advice! I canned red and Yukon potatoes for first time this year and pleasantly surprised with the results. They keep their shape and roast up well in the oven.
Yes the baby reds are amazing herbed as well.
God bless you for sharing this information Carrie.
I'm thankful to have everything you listed in this video. I'm Type2 diabetic. I'm thankful for all the diabetic recipes that you share. Please be safe and be blessed 💞💖💞
I'm so glad these help, many have been lost I once was a well and could not find any help anywhere. Let alone anyone who cared.
Hello Carrie, I recently came across your channel. I truly love it ! I am slowly looking at all of them . I especially love the ones from about a year ago . Planting seeds PS Your hair is Beautiful ! Thank you again Catherine
Aww thank you Catherine, welcome to the family hun, im glad to have you with us. Hugs from Mississippi.
Thanks for the parish rice tip. I’m diabetic and struggle
Your welcome it has worked in moderation
Once again , a wonderful helpful video❤ Thank you Carrie .
I'm glad it helps, thank you hun
❤ thank you and God bless you❤
Hugs mitzi
I froze the big ham bone with a good amount of meat on it from last Easter. I just took it out yesterday and put it in my crockpot and made a 16 bean soup. I then cleaned out the fridge and tossed in all the leftover veggies I had from this week. I then made bread to go with it 😋.
Its been raining steady for the past 5 days and its cold. The soup warms you from the inside out and is very filling.
Im going to make bone broth and can it.
It can fortify you when you are sick. Especially with this Disease X they are talking about.
Streaghthen your immune system now!
Well done !!!. I'm currently at the gym starting over getting fit
@@partinsheritagehomestead4981 awesome I am intermittent fasting and I have lost 25 pounds in 4 months.
I am restarting the gym as well.
@catholicfaithofmine2664 thank you for sharing this with me. I'm actually feeling better than ashamed for getting like this again :(
Love ya keep up the great work ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love you to hugs
Great ideas Carrie! I love having my homemade black bean hamburg. Have not bought hamburg in 2 years!! I cook mine in a high sided cookie sheet. Once cool I cut into squares and freeze. Can use as burgers or crumble into spaghetti sauce or use in any recipe calling for ground meat. You can also make it into meatballs or a meatloaf prior to cooking it. A fraction of the cost of ground meat.
Great idea thank you for sharing. I love you all sharing like this. It helps MANY !!!
Fantastic idea TY
Could you please share your receipe for bean hamburger? Thank you❤
There's dozens of recipes for it on the internet. I started making it via recipes I found but now I just add what I have on hand. Basic recipe is smashed black beans, egg, bread crumbs and spices. The main thing is to dry the cooked beans in the oven on a low temp to release some of the liquid otherwise it's too mushy. If your using dry beans cook first then dry them out a little in the oven. If using can black beans, just drain, rinse and then dry out a little in the oven. For spices I use onion powder, garlic powder, cumin and I add some turmeric just for the health benefits. Things I have added over the years to the basic mix are: shredded carrots, sliced olives, onions, peppers, roasted corn, spinach, peas, liquid smoke (makes it really taste like meat) golden raisins, crushed pineapple (you can't taste the fruit cause the flavors melt together but I add it to get some additional health benefits). I use Ritz crackers for the breadcrumb part but you could even use stuffing or crouton mix if you run them through the food processor. Hope this helps 💕💕💕💕💕
Sorry I should add that you can also add ground meat (sausage, turkey, chicken or hamburg) to make it. I like the taste of it without meat but if you have picky eaters it's a way to stretch your meat alot further. 💜💜💜💜💜
I agree...❤❤❤
Thank you for the love 😀
WOW! I am so glad you are blessed with this platform to share all your knowledge with those who otherwise may not have thought to do some of these prepping ideas! It is all good, solid advice! I would like to share a trick I do....Add salt, pepper, sage, thyme, 1/2 t brown sugar and marjoram to a pound of ground turkey for a 'sausage' flavor. Thank you so much for your shares. You help so many people with your channel. GOD bless
Thank you Mary I try, I've been in alot of shoes with folks to understand.
Everything that you've talked about and ideas to do I've been there and done it and my mother did as well she had seven of us to feed and you're right about the bones save all of them they make the bone broth you can make any kind of soups out of those all right lady I've missed you back to your video your hair looks beautiful down I love you very much
Aww Thank you Debra for the loving hugs
Thank you 🙏
Your welcome jeanette hugs
Thank you for sharing your video, I really enjoyed it👍😊
Your welcome Abby I try to help the best way I can for everyone
Thank you for the great recipe ideas. Really enjoyed the video. I grew up with lots of noodles too. My Mom made sure we had something. 🥰 Kim 62 Minneapolis
Your welcome Kim hugs my friend
Good video
❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼🙂✌🏼😊
Times are hard now these days with cost of food going up.i don't know what state you live in but sometimes you have to ask for help.I live in Alabama and me and my husband helps people who need help ..❤
That's awesome that you are there's for folks. In our small town of Mississippi it isn't that nice. Folks dont help each other and if someone does they get taken advantage of..... I help by teaching . Good with an old saying. I can give you a fish and you will eat for a day. Or I can teach you to fish and you can eat for a lifetime.
I have tried to "like" quinoa, but I haven't been able to find a recipe that tastes good made with it. Maybe you have one?😊
I can try and find a good one hun.
Thank you, Carrie.🍴
Glad you survied the storm why can't a type 2 D have potatoes my doctors said a little is find just go easy on the white stuff I'm learning alot
Not every diabetic is alike. Some like my husband is carb sensitive and potatoes tend to spike him.
Canned tuna salmon
Yes great resources
Hi Carie, I’ve been freezing soups ect. for my hubby to just warm up because I’m having surgery and will be on crutches for a while. I was just wondering if you have any suggestion for easy freezer meals I can make ahead. Thank you for all your videos and good ideas. 😊 Also I am allergic to white potatoes,peanuts and navy beans. CRAZY ! So that makes it a little harder especially no potatoes, thanks
Replace potatoes for turnips in freezer meal recipes, replace navy beans with cannellini beans or butter beans. Where there is a will there is a way. Some freezer meals can be chili, soups, stews, cassarole, pasta dishes is your able to have them. The chicken cassarole I mentioned is a freezer safe meal.
Thanks for your suggestions and all you share with us . God bless you and provide all you need. 🙏
Deborah thank you so much, such a beautiful prayer and one I will say AMEN to.
sorry for my poor english but we are french canadian
No apologies necessary your family hugs

Can you freeze flour? Do you have to thaw flour before baking with it?
Yes your can freeze flour, no you don't have to thaw it. If you have to room to freeze it do so it will last longer.
