    The way you are teaching your daughters to “think through” the ingredients available and how to make a meal is invaluable in their lives. People have forgotten these life skills and fix boxed and semi prepared food and think it’s from scratch. You are amazing Lisa.

      Agreed T G, I’m 52, I grew up very poor…..give me 5 ingredients and a few spices, I can make you a masterpiece in the kitchen.
      Growing up not only on my grandparents farm (as an older child) but very poor before that….. made me very creative, I learned to not only use seasonal ingredients…. But to use what you have….”buy what you use, use what you’ve got”….
      Sometimes in the kitchen, you use what you’ve got on hand, instead of “what sounds good”…. But it always turns out lovely 💕❤️🙏🏼
      Much Love to all from Oregon 🌲🌲❤️

      Agreed! Those skills are something that need honing in all young people! Unless you get in the kitchen and help them see that there is something to eat even from only a few ingredients they never learn that resourcefulness and creativity. So much goes to waste because we can't see it for what it can become, like reading a book based on it's cover only!

    God called me to a different path when I prayed for healing, and you have been part of that path, Lisa! I have seven children and when I set a meal on the table, sometimes they’ll ask, “Is this recipe from that mom on UA-cam?” 😀 What a huge part of our lives you are; both food wise and economically. On those mornings in which you wake up and are just tired of the commitment you feel you’ve made to UA-cam, just remember: God has used you. You have glorified Him and have served Him, and until He calls you to something else, He is your strength and will continue to equip you for this ministry! Thanks again! Always enjoy your videos. God bless your precious family!

    Really enjoyed this video. I used to challenge myself to see how long I could go without going to the grocery store. I was at 6 weeks and wanted to try to squeeze one more week into the wait. After that decision, the very next morning I felt a very strong urge to go grocery shopping at 7 a.m. I never shop that early...and I'd decided not to for another week...to use up all the dibs and dabs in the pantry...to clear it out. So, I didn't go shopping that day. By 9 a.m. there was a huge ice storm over the whole area...so much so that all public transportation was shut down...no cabs, no buses,no metro, because not all the subway tracks are underground. Delivery trucks couldn't get to stores to restock them. This was bad! It lasted 3 weeks. The only thing that saved me was a tiny little market I could easily walk to. Their costs were about 3 times that of regular grocery stores,and they couldn't get stock delivered. They were running out of food. It was a scary time...difficult. I waited just a bit too long. Now I actually can and do wait longer, but I never let my stock get so low that I might run out of food in a week.
    Looks to me that you handled not grocery shopping really well! It's good to see your daughter learning how to cook.

    The other day I cleaned out my fridge by grilling everything I could and chopping the rest up and adding a little salad dressing. It was probably one of the best dinners I made this month, funny how that works out

    @noncompliance1922 2 роки тому +47

    Lisa, this was one of your BEST videos! A lot of people would say..."I wish I could do that, but...". They use excuses that they can't because they don't have chickens, a dairy cow, a garden, etc., but it all begins with a will to do a better job of planning meals, shopping for basics, and a desire to get off of the premade meals, eating out, etc. You shared so many valuable lessons in this one short video. Thank you!

    • @AcornHillHomestead

    Awesome. I've always thought it was weird when people buy every ingredient for specific recipes they see and then are super braggy and excited when it turns out well lol real every day cooking (for me) is about being able to make good meals with what is available, affordable or practical. I have to admit tho I have never made cheese, incredible!

    Love watching you make bread & cheese! Makes me think about how are grandmother's use everything & nothing went to waste. My Mom who was a child during the depression said that the only thing left after cooking up a pig was the oink 🐷! 😳🤭 Of course she was raised on a farm so the only thing which was hard to come by was sugar. My grandfather had bee hives so there was plenty of honey. Such a wholesome life! You definitely have a very creative mind! 🤗👍

    What a great episode! There’s only my husband and me now but I still like doing this! My mothers cooked like this all the time growing up. (I never ate at a Pizza Hut until I was fifteen! I know…weird!) I don’t have chickens/ cows but I may have an abundance of other things and it’s funny what you can come up with if you really put your mind to it! Once when I was stumped I found an app that lets you put in the ingredients you have and recipes will pop up using those ingredients. Love that you teach your daughters to think this way! She made a beautiful strata! You make the most interesting content! Thank you!
