- Welcome to my channel - Planting Birches!!
We have been in a serious food rut. I’m hoping with all the new foods we bought today, we’ll find some good recipes and our tastebuds will get happy!
Check out my laundry video: • Video
For the salmon, my mom makes a schmear of a softened stick of salted butter, a whole bunch of green onions thinly sliced, whole bunch of parsley minced, 3-4 minced garlic cloves, half an onion worth of thinly sliced rings, salt and pepper. Mix it all together and schmear it onto a side of salmon. Add the onion rings on top before baking.
Sounds very tasty! 😊
If you wrap your carrots in paper towels individually it does keep them longer, it helps with the moisture. I thought it was wierd at first when I heard it but it does work!!
Great idea!! 😊😊😊 Thank you!
If you have an aldi near you, try there for pumpkin. I stock up there around the holidays (I give a spoonful to my dogs daily, so I go through a bunch), so you might be able to still find it there!
Try the cookbook cook once eat all week it has really helped me and the kids love most of the recipes. It has been such a help when I don't have too much time in the week which is normal and I also try to cook a meal the day before so all I have to do is heat up the food for the evening and each later afternoon I make the meal for the next day and it's been an amazing plan. Just some things that have helped me and thanks for you're channel it has been very helpful and fun! Have a great evening!
Thanks for the tip, Heather! Our food rut MUST end! 🤣
Hello from Malaysia! Love how organize u are 🥰 me as a working mum I struggled to do my grocery after work which is very tiring and then during the weekend i feels lazy to go out and ended up we splurged doing once a month grocery shopping which we buy things that we don’t need and forgetting things that we supposed to buy 🤣🤣
Anyway thanks for the useful pro tips from u ♥️♥️
Hello to you in Malaysia. You are a busy woman. Working and having to shop later in the day... that would be quite tiring. And I totally understand buying things we don't need or forgetting things... I must have my list or I miss things. Happy Monday! Have a great day.
Cod fillets are great for fish tacos. Cut into bite size pieces. Make your own sauce (sour cream, lemon or lime juice, seasoning) or use ranch.
Yum!
A couple of years ago there was a pumpkin shortage (I don't remember why) and my family missed our homemade pumpkin muffins and breads so much I got creative. I used cooked mashed sweet potatoes, cooked mashed carrots and frozen thawed and drained butternut squash all with pretty great results. Yes, I know, it's not exactly pumpkin, but it got us through that time until canned pumpkin was readily available again. Just thought I'd give you the idea incase it is helpful! I enjoy your channel!
That's fantastic! Thanks for the tip. I'm really hoping this pumpkin shortage is SHORT lived! 🙏🏻
Super haul and super video. Love the energy. Blessings and stay safe.
Thank you!!
Just finished making tons of applesauce. Lots of apple trees on the Reservation here so we ladies get together and do tons when they are ready.
That’s amazing! I’ve always wanted to go to an apple orchard and pick apples. Maybe this fall!
Have you tried Cauliflower Cheese, very nice with crusty bread or crispy bacon and baby potatoes. I’m in England and I’m not as adventurous as you with spices!!! X
Ooo! That sounds tasty!
Peets I love it
Dan-O’s is really good! You can get it at certain Kroger’s or order it online. It’s really good! I also like Tony Cacherie’s Cajun seasoning. I think you can find it everywhere!😁
Thanks for the ideas!
Love the kings bread.
Carrots growing hairy in the fridge are looking for moisture.
Beautiful salmon. One of our favorites.
Such a light tasty fish!
Have you ever considered one of the delivery meal boxes such as Hello Fresh or Green Chef? My family of 5 tried it for a month. I just cancel it ( to save money(. But it was a good experience to see different meals. They send a recipe card that you can keep. I’m sure you can find a coupon or a friend can send you a free box too.
Great haul!
I do use Hello Fresh from time to time. Thanks for the reminder. I have it currently paused because we weren't super excited about the meals. But I do check periodically to see if I will get a week here or there!
You can get any of the recipes on the site without purchasing if u need inspiration
Wow..I don't know where you live but it's much cheaper than here in Arkansas! Your 400.00 Sam's haul would have been close to 700.00 here! No pulp for me and the best dishwasher tabs I have come across are the Finish ones...but that might be your regular ones lol. Go ahead and clean and peel your carrots and put them a airtight container or zip lock and you won't have any problems they will stay fresh! Oh and pumpkin puree..try Dollar General or Walmart! And my cajen seasoning is Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning! Love your haul and personality...love and Blessings ❤🦋
Really?! Wow. We're in IL... I would have thought Arkansas would be cheaper. BTW: I have family that lived in Cherokee Village. My dishwasher seems to work best with Cascade. Maybe it will be in stock next time.
Thanks for the pumpkin puree tip. I don't typically go to Walmart, but I may have to with the shortage of pumpkin at all my usual stores.
I use Tony Chachere's Cajun seasoning. Here in Illinois it is at most grocery stores. That's one big haul!
I'm going to check that one out! Thank you! I'm in IL, so I should be able to find it! 😊
@@Thegrocerylady yes! I get it at Walmart usually and Dollar Tree has their own version too. I am in the middle of nowhere and can get it so should be easy to find.
@@buffiecar Fantastic!! Thank you.
Bento boxes are so much fun
I need your help with ideas to make it fun... My first attempt didn't go over very well. 😩
We should look at the pioneer woman for supper inspiration and six sisters stuff
We think alike. I was just telling Markie we should look at Pioneer Woman... she always has good ideas! I haven't done much with Six Sisters... thanks for the idea!
These big food companies are making fools out of all of us! I'm in process of transitioning to making everything from scratch!
Everything can easily be made with basic ingredients like flour, sugar, tomato sauce, etc, even pasta can be made with a pasta maker, and once you get good you'll never waste so much money plus you can teach kids to make foods from scratch! Bread and donuts and they'll have a blast, and it will last a lifetime!
How fantastic that you're transitioning to making everything from scratch. I would LOVE to learn how to make my own noodles and homemade pasta sauce. I'm still searching for the perfect recipe. 🍝
Great grocery haul!
Thank you friend!
I LOVE your videos, I am from England butttt I am soooo perplexed as to why you call 'pasta' 'noodles'? it even says 'pasta' on the package? I literally love the amount of food you can get at such a low cost, here its tiny tiny packages that are so expensive!
I don’t know why I call it noodles. 🤔 growing up we called it noodles. Some people say spaghetti as a general name for pasta. Some say pasta. Really, I’m just as perplexed. 😂 I actually talk about it in my video I posted today!
@@Thegrocerylady I will watch your latest video!! thanks for the reply, its so funny how we all do things so differently , I love it
@@charlottecox4023 it’s kind of mind blowing how different things can be! Happy Thursday!! 😄
Try Ole Bay Seasoning. Specially on seafood
Thank you Sophia!! I'll check it out!
I love coffee , I drink mccafe k kups. I also will order on line from Sam's if rats all I need. They also comes in defaf. Next month Starbucks special coffee comes out. Only towards the holidays. I usually get 2 to last
The holiday Starbucks come in K-Cups??? AHHHH!!! This is VERY good news!!!
My favorite all time k cups are at walmart. They are great value hazelnut. You can get them in a 12 pk for I believe about $ 4.00. I fell in love with them. You don't need any creamer. My mom had me try it at her house and I've loved it ever since.
Thanks for the tip! That's a great price!
Now now i love orange juice with the pulp!😅 i don't have it often as my body strange enough does not appreciate it🤷🏿♀️😅. Also try to remove the carrots in the bag when you put them in the fridge?! I love fish fish fish. Have you tried a fish lasagna? Or fish pie? I cannot give you a recipe as i usually wing it haha. Great haul friend🤗🥰
Oh Virginie, yuck. Not pulp. 😂 I think you're right about the carrots... maybe the bag is holding too much moisture. Fish lasagna... fish pie... hmmm... I've never tried either one. I can't believe you wing it with those. You must be a pro! Can you send me a pan to try? 😉
@@Thegrocerylady haha will send you a pan over no worries🤗😅🥰
@@virginievaudran2141 I'll be waiting by my mailbox! 😂
@@Thegrocerylady haha well it might not get there in once piece though🤷🏿♀️😅🤣
Hy-Vee has Libby's pumpkin. I was there this morning.
That is the BEST news! Thank you!!
If you have a Trader Joe’s they have a ton of pumpkin
I sure wish we did!
Have you tired Walmart for pumpkin purée?
I haven't, but I think I'm going to have to!
I use slap ya mama all the time I love it but don’t use to much because it has salt in it
Delicious.
❤️😊
How do you keep your strawberries good? Mine always seem to go bad in 24-36 hours.
I have the best luck with Sam's Club strawberries lasting about 3-4 days... It's because they are dry on the outside. If there is any juice or wetness my strawberries go as fast as yours. My kids go through strawberries fast, so for the most part they don't last in our fridge for too many days.
Find a tupperware rep and get the fridge smarts! I started using them and I have had strawberries last 3-4 weeks!
After you wash them let them air dry. Them store them in a air tight container.
@@HerChildrenCallHerBlessed I'm willing to try! Thank you
@@ALglitter09 I didn't know there were Tupperware Reps! Definitely need to check it out.
Nutella is yummy😋
Cutues are the best.
For sure!
My boys are nine and seven and eat atleast one or one and a half pork chops i usually have to cook a family pack for them and there dad I’m vegetarian I guess this boys are big eaters 😂
My children are the complete opposite of big eaters! 😂The girls are more my meat eaters. One kiddo doesn't eat meat at all. It's a juggling acting trying to feed this crew! 🤪
put garlic salt and onion in your guacamole
YES! I did and it was delicious!
Walmart would have pumpkin purée
THANK YOU!!! 🎃
We like Tony Cacheres or Cajun Two step, we find it at Walmart 😊
New to your channel and love the opening. I think shopping when you are hungry can be a money pop😂
I agree!! Don’t go hungry- everything starts looking really good! 🤣
Add some grated garlic to your lemon string beans. It’s delish.
I like the Barilla noodles better too
Go on line to find the pumpkin puree
Hi from Malaysia. Love watching your videos
Hello to you in Malaysia! ❤️
You can find pumpkin puree and pumpkin
I don't have a link for you, but, here is a dish that we have when we have leftover roast beef. We call it Shepherd pie but most wouldn't. grind or chop into small pieces the left over roast, layer it at the bottom of a deep casserole dish (there should be about 1 1/2 inches of meat), lay on top of the meat a shallow layer of pea's (one can usually does it, frozen works too), put a think layer of mashed potatoes (we like a a lot of potatoes so we put 2-3 inches), then put a layer of canned tomatoes (juice and all)(we prefer whole tomatoes but diced are good too), poke a few holes in the top and cut up a few pats of butter on top so the melted butter seeps into the holes and shake some some black pepper on top. Bake for about half an hour at 350 degrees until hot and bubbly on the sides.
Note: You don't want to overbake it so the tomato juice evaporates. If that does happen I usually just put some heated tomato juice on top to make sure the dish has a "gravy". It's a very old family recipe. Hope you try it and like it.
I feel so honored that you shared your favorite family recipe! Thank you so much. I have never had Shepherds Pie, but I've always wanted to try it. I'll have to try out your 'Shepherds pie!' ❤️
If you can find new England brand it is seriously the best coffee and my sis in law brought 5 or 6 different kinds of Starbucks coffee beans when she worked there. We've probably compared it to well over 30 different kinds and new england is always our choice.
I found it on Amazon. Which New England coffee do you like best? Colombian? Breakfast blend?
Im doing my holiday shopping this weekend. I hope I can find all I need.
Wow! That’s actually a great idea to go early! It’ll give you lots of time to make sure you have everything!
I love pulpy orange juice, but whatever floats your boat :)
😊You like what you like! Enjoy. 😂
Sure hope I don't have a problem finding pumpkin.
It’s been out for SO long. I hope you can find it!
Orange juice is ok once in a while. Apple Juice is too sweet
I agree. I've never been a juice fan, especially in the morning. It usually makes my stomach hurt.
Hello and I am new to your channel and cute family
Hello 😊 Glad to have you! ❤️
Try a taco soup.
Yum!
Awesome haul!!
Thank you!! 😊
Oh yes, Jasmine rice is delicious.
