I just have to say your videos are helping so many people right now. Not just with feeding their families but also in the mental aspect of giving us something to look forward to and sharing your light and positivity with others. 🥰
amen! agreed 100%
"Hey, look, blueberries!"
"Shh, I'll get those later!"
I can relate 🤣
In my freezer its peas! 😅
I’m a vegan. That’s $35-$40 worth of plant burgers, easy. Huge savings, awesome buy 👍🏻
I got about 4 of them for $1.99 a while back and thought that was good. I did get $4 back on Ibotta, though.
@@mandlerparr1 wow! That is an AWESOME DEAL!
Crazy deal!
Yep or more
ikr i saw it and my jaw hit instand the flor 1$ is nearly free where i live 1 pack of this are 6-7€ most of the time and even halve price i depate with me in my head getting this
Could you imagine how much money she has saved? Since this pandemic has hit. Just from the freezer clean out she has been implementing during this time.
I would definitely add some roasted garlic to the bean purée.
Amanda Dobbs yum
And parsley
I love the relationship between you and your kids. You can tell it’s genuine and not forced like a lot of other youtubers.
I love how you actually use freezer burned food instead of throwing it out like other people do. Some great ideas overall!
I know!! Love that! Does the freezer burn effect taste?
@@gottagetthatdaniglow Not by too much honestly, at least not in my household, everyone is so different with that.
@@gottagetthatdaniglow I personally can really taste it and it's usually gross ;(
People throw out freezer burned food? Where? :p
@@delormerr Same. I’m not generally picky with food but I can taste when it’s freezer burned. I’m a super taster.
Your husbands face 13:29 when you said "Hamburger Helper" - almost like "How dare you say those words to me!" LOL.
hahaha his face was gold!
Gotta say, I'm such as fan of Hailey! She has such great expression and her "whellow there" cracked me up! I love seeing your kids involved in the filming now they're stuck at home! Thanks for the chuckles and the fantastic content!
She was Christine twenty years younger when she said that. Jaja!
Girlfriend, get yourself a Foodsaver! No more freezer burn! 😃😘
have to say, having kids who do not know what spaghettios or hamburger helper is, is a huge mom win! WTG!
Andrea Price yeah I guess that’s a win for moms who don’t work outside the home and get home at 630 pm...
@@misspowers3857 Yes, because stay-at-home moms are the only ones who cook. Full-time working parents never cook real food for their children. 🙄🙄
Mary Hunt well I work full time go to grad school full time and have three kids . I cook full meals 5 4-5 nights a week it just isn’t as easy to do.
@@misspowers3857 no its not easy to do, my son is the lover of all kinds of nuggets and what i call "white meals". I work full time and while I am not going to grad school I am trying to study lacation to become an IBCLC and have a 2 year old and one on the way. I try to cook as much as I can but also being a nutritionist is a double edged sword along with a metablic rare disease that doesn't allow me to eat what i prepare for my family. My son has had his share of my "quick dinners" (hamburger helper or spaghetti-o's) as well. We can not be too hard on our selves (or others), you are slaying the mom game Miss Powers & Mary Hunt. We all are in our own way!
We all should be kind to one another and support each others momming game! When I complimented Kristine I was in no way disregarding working moms as I am one and so is she. She works hard at her meals and her channel as well as her teaching! EACH MOMS LIFE LOOKS DIFFERENT WE CANNOT GO AROUND JUDGING OTHER MOMS AND WOMEN, WE SHOULD BE SUPPORTING EACH OTHER, because we are all killing it! So with that!
I applaud all MOMS! Stay at home, working, student moms, grandparents raising grandkids, moms to one, fur moms, moms to multiples, work from home moms, the list goes on and on!
Stop judging, start supporting and lifting.
Your kids crack me up! You are in for fun teenage years because you all have fun banter together! Love it!
I'm not the only one who loves pickles in their salad 🥰
Thank you for supporting blood donations. I work in a hospital laboratory and the need is always there. The blood inventories can be exhausted very quickly and donations are a challenge during these times. And on another note wrap your meat in press n’ seal before freezing (then place in a freezer bag) and your meat will never freezer burn and will look as fresh as the day you bought it.
My three-year-old grandson loves collecting rocks. When we go camping on the river here in Texas we look for and collect rocks shaped like hearts. Then after we get home the kids paint them we date them for that year. This Mimi and my grandson’s parents have rocks everywhere at our homes. He even brought me one to the shop where I work, which is with his dad, my son and I have it on my desk. ❤️
Thank you for a plug for blood donation. It is truly necessary. I am a nurse, working every day! A new accessory to my uniform is a surgical mask to be worn every moment while I'm at work. Stay healthy 💓
Your daughter totally has your humor!! 🤣
Can u just keep doing these? It’s so satisfying seeing y’all eat it down lol... I don’t know why but I love these videos! Keep going!
It’s a good day when Christine uploads! ❤️
Thank you so much for urging people to donate blood/plasma!!! I have to receive blood/plasma twice as week right now, and the shortages do have me worried. I was born missing some of my blood components so without twice weekly transfusions my organs would begin to fail and I would die.
The discussion and facial expressions over the hamburger helper was hilarious! I make my own version of H.H. at home a lot, we don't buy it either. You guys are such a lovely family!
I had to pause this, to my sons room and ask if he knew what spaghetti-o’s were. He didn’t know either! Lmao 🤣 proud mamma moment!
Love the fact your kids will eat everything you cook! We have some picky eaters in our family! Great video! Please continue your grocery hauls and cooking videos! Those are my favorites! Your kids are so adorable! Really enjoy them! They are so sweet and well mannered!
Janet Webb I was coming on to say the same thing where does one find eaters like that sure bit at my house. Picky eaters in all different picky ways here🤦♀️!
Yup! My eldest is a great eater, so I arrogantly thought I just did a better job than parents with picky kids! Then along came my youngest.....even at weaning stage, he was just not having it! We eat a wide range of food, mostly all home made and he barely eats anything except cucumber and lettuce, plain rice and plain pasta! At 5 he’s a bit more reasonable and I can coax him to try things, but it’s usually a miss.
Your kiddos have the best personalities! Love watching y’all 💚
I love it that your kids are so willing to eat whatever you cook! Kudos to you for exposing them from a very early age to all kinds of foods.
Hi Christine, it’s your blueberry friend from Michigan. Thank you for asking people to donate blood. I wish I could because I would be one of the first ones in line. However, I just got an organ transplant last October and now I can’t donate. ☺️
I'm not a vegetarian, but I tried the Beyond Burger to help lower my cholesterol. I LOVE THEM! I have 5 packs in my freezer now.
the look on your husbands face when you asked when the last time you got hamburger helper was cracked me up! lol
When my twin daughters were 5 years old their grandma invited them over to spend the night. Their grandma said, “we will have hot dogs and chips”. The kids said “what are hot dogs?” 😂😂
They didnt know what spaghettios was haha that's great mama all home made that's the best way to feed the kiddos💙💙
Working is tough right now with no school. My youngest daughter has bad separation anxiety and school was a great distraction for that. Now she just sees me going to work where sick people go and worries constantly. We are all doing what we can. Love watching your videos for a break.
Your kids are amazing little humans! Love seeing your family in the videos, it gives me all the feels. My mom cooked for us every night growing up and this brings back great memories.
Recipe: Do it this way. Christine: I do what I wanna do! I bought your T-shirt that says “”I’m just here for the food!” For my daughter’s birthday, she LOVES it!
“Why is there a rock?” In my house the answer is “boys!” (I have four)
I used to be a girl (now a middle-aged woman :D ) and my dad at some point forbade me to bring more rocks into my room because he was afraid the floor/ceiling might come down. I inherited my love for rocks/shells/random nature treasures from my mom :)
I have girls and have a box full. 😂
I have three boys and two girls! I gotta say they all bring in the rocks! You never know what those kids are going to bring in the house lol
I didnt collect rocks, but I did throw a tantrum when my frogs couldn't live in the tub... I'm also afraid of spiders now but I still remember collecting a huge amount of spiders and stuffed them in my lunchbox... dunno what I was planning to do with them x)
My middle son's collection is tree parts (twigs, branches, etc).
Your family is so beautiful, your daughter looks just like her dad and the boys a great mix of you both. Love your videos
Your children are the sweetest, well mannered kiddos I’ve seen on UA-cam! You’re doing a great job raising them mama!! Also your husbands reaction to hamburger helper cracked me up! I love your videos and you have totally inspired me to shop clearance and to reuse and clear out our fridge and freezer!
Your family has so much fun together!
You and your naan! Cracks me up!
Your husband is so nice. Your children are very sweet and sooo calm. I really love your channel & always look forward. What size freezer do you have I would like to get one the size you have. Thank you for all you do & for all you are. Your friend Kim.
Christine - you need a vacuum packer. I've had one (more than one) for over 20 years - and it totally eliminates freezer burnt items. You can reuse the bags, so it isn't as expensive as you might think. Love your videos!
My kids ( now adults) also never knew what those processed foods were- never had boxed Mac and cheese- everything home made- no fast food- I married my second husband 7 years ago- he thought I was fibbing when I said I had never had hamburger helper/ kraft Mac and cheese/ other processed foods/ fast foods- he asked my kids and they confirmed- and now they are all excellent home cooks as well. Everything is better when you make it yourself! I enjoyed this video.
We lived in Oregon for almost 2 years since my Hubby is original from there. We moved back to Germany though. And it makes me smile for the sizes of fridge and freezers. . We have about 1/2 if not 1/3 of the sizes that US have. And the sizes of Costco ... to be honest I miss it so much.
I enjoy your videos and try some recepies with what we are getting here currently. Also we have 4 kids (8,6,4,1), so you are a huge look up for me. Thanks so much for your effort to make those videos
Freezer burn, glad to know that I am not the only one.
That looks amazing! YOU are amazing. I want that. Lol. By the way, even if it weren’t going on bread, it wouldn’t be Keto as beans/legumes are not something people in Keto would be eating.
Wanted to add, your entire family are funny and loving and they is such a pleasure to watch.
I honestly love that your kids are clueless about hamburger helper and spaghettios. Parenting goals for my future for sure. Keep up the great work!
LOL! My kids don't know what Hamburger Helper is either! When their step-siblings were talking about why I never buy it, my kids asked, "what's Hamburger Helper?". My step kids were shocked. I make most everything from scratch so I totally relate!
Your family is so precious 😢 💖 blessings to you and yours, thanks for the dinner ideas!!
Those are cannelli beans. Add some kombu kelp and it. Adds flavor and stops the starch producing gas and adds minerals. Love the show
I’m loving this series! We used our tax returns to build up our food supply (right before everyone went crazy at the stores lol) and I’m in the process of making an inventory system so I can save money and just always have our staples on hand without losing track of what we have. It’s awesome
I love the way Dave look.When you said hamburger helper.New care for it.
Just made an appointment to donate blood before continuing the video! Thanks for the reminder Christine!
I like using fresh lemon juice, grapeseed oil and dill for a dressing. SOOO GOOD!
Christine your kids are adorable especially your youngest son.
Hummus ist a paste made of chickpeas and Tahini (sesam seed paste). You add limon juice, oil and it is sooo good! Like your beans pizza!
Loving the kids not knowing what instant foods are. Lol When my kids asked what pop-tarts were I took that as a win.
Rocks in laundry are my favorite 🤦🏻♀️
Your hair looks amazing!!🤩👍🏽
Daycares here in ATX are open but only limited to 10 kids and they have to be the same 10 kids each day. Chocolate hummus is made from chickpeas infused with cocoa, sugar and vanilla!!
Thanks for posting vids every day this week!! FrugalFitMom is my fave channel by far -- I've even got my 22yo twin daughters into watching you and your fabfitfamily! Tip for your deep freezer -- pick up a few of those large re-usable quasi-cloth/plastic grocery bags and organize the contents with those. The long handles will make it easy to pull out a bag full of ground beef or whatever, and they'll be stackable if you put a piece of cardboard on the bottom of the bags.
I recently made a lasagna using instant cheddar mashed potatoes instead of all the cheeses and it was great. I love the idea of less conventional uses for things like your bean pizza sauce!
Omg your whole family is so dang adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it when my family loves what i cook for dinner. I have one picky eater but its ok... Some days i just need to serve with out other ingredients in that dish. It all works out.
👍👍 the navy Beans are good it was the only bean i found and to my surprise we actually like them.
I thought I was the only one that liked pickles on salad. I will have to try the pizza with the bean paste. Looked really good. So glad you all are doing good and staying healthy. Stay safe and stay well.
As a homeschool project we made your bread dough this am, tomorrow we bake. The kids watched the dough grow all day.
"I like to read recipes and then completely ignore them and do what I want!"
🤣🤣 So me!!
Sooooo jealous of all those Beyond Burgers! Great score!
Can I just say.. don't know if you'll read this so I may say it again where there's less comments. Your videos have been so uplifting for me and inspiring for me to do more and be more organized in life. Has helped so much. So I just wanted to give you a big thank you!
In Romania we make this bean paste with garlic, salt and a bit if oil. Separate we sautee diced onions until soft with tomato puree. We spread the bean paste on the bread and add the onions on top and it is delicious because the onions and tomato are sweet and they go really well with the garlic bean paste.
Found one with english subtitles ☺️

I have loved this series!
You have a precious family! Love your videos
Your relationship with your family is delightful💛
Your kids have the cutest, fun personalities. Good parenting is obvious 😊
Hummus is usually made with chickpeas, tahini and oil (usually olive ). Some have lemon, others have garlic, others have a combination of both.
Just don't ask where it originated from ... that's another story all together!
Love your videos! ♥️
I love your videos!! Just a pointer for pizzas, I used to work at a pizza place and we would always put the spinach on once the pizza was done baking. Really good that way since it's not cooked!!
How people manage with working and the schools shutting... in my case we don’t! I’m working from home now, in the Uk I’m classed as a key worker during this thing (although my work weren’t really equipped for it so I’ve literally got my office pc set up on my dining table!) kids are home, school are providing work online but mine are 10 (very clever but with the shortest attention span ever) and 5, so not really reading fully yet, so they both need constant encouragement, which I can’t give because I’m working! I’m just winging it and they’re not doing a whole lot of school work!
Dave at 13:12 LOL
Love your family, Christine! And your kids are the sweetest.
LOL Kinda impressed the kids don't know about hamburger helper or chef boyardee! My mom never made hamburger helper growing up and only VERY occasionally did we actually eat a can of Chef Boyardee (Usually just had a stray can or two in the pantry just in case) but I saw so many ads on TV for hamburger helper especially, that big glove haunts me
I love your uploads! Thank you for keeping me preoccupied during lockdown!
I love how realistic this is. Very few ppl would have the nerve to cook freezer burnt meat. In my house we save everything and when in doubt we make soup.
I wish I had markets near me that had great discounts like yours! I will be continuing to donate plasma because a lot of people need it for medications.
You’re a lucky mom with kids who aren’t picky!! Also you’re a fun cook!’ I’m thankful for people like you!!
once you're done with your freezer challenge, you should clean that ice off the sides! it's not that much yet but it'll be a lot easier to clean off than when it gets out of hand and the freezer is packed to the top! :)
Not sure if anyone else mentioned it but chocolate hummus is in fact made from chickpeas! I've had the TJ's one and it's pretty good. It's the same texture as regular hummus but tastes like chocolate pudding!
I make naan bread pizzas, but my "sauce" is paper thin sliced roma tomatoes, drizzled with a little olive oil, salt n pepper, then fresh basil....then whatever toppings you like as well, we do cooked chicken, bacon and mozzarella & parmesan cheese...... hubby likes ranch or bbq on his.
Hummus means Chickpeas in arabic.
Also: the "chick" in chickpea comes from the Latin chiche, meaning pea. So chickpea basically means pea-pea.
So chickpea hummus is pea-pea pea-pea?
Thank you for such great dinner ideas!
Cristine your videos always suprirse me. Thank you so much for your mention regarding the lack of blood donations the past few weeks. I thank you for using your platform for the greater good! Be safe
It is awesome that your family has supper together at the same time!!!
Chocolate hummus is in fact made with chick peas! They also have a cake batter flavor too.
I just adore this family!
That bean dip pizza looks delicious, will definitely try that one!
I love watching you. Finally I know it’s ok to cook freezer burned chicken ! You make me feel normal lol
Your videos make me feel homesick in the best way possible. My husband and I live out on the West Coast but my parents are still back in the Midwest, which is where I grew up. Watching your channel reminds me of my mom and really helps brighten my day. Thanks for the videos and hope you and your family stay safe!
Your videos always put a smile on my face. You and ypur family are just hilarious! Great to get ideas (and reminders) on using up old in the house too!
Great home work! I love your video!
Thank you for these , they always make me smile. ❤️. Stay safe
Thanks for the different ideas
If you and the fun cheap free mom would do a collab it would be so fire. Y’all are the realest moms I’ve seen on UA-cam. I get so annoyed at the moms who clean in jeans and perfectly curled hair and makeup. As a SAHM myself, I say “In what world??”. Honestly, I get so gross and sweaty when I clean I can just imagine how I’d feel sweating with a full face of makeup on.
If you want to introduce us, that would be great! ;) Ha!
I love watching how much fun you have with your kids. Family goals right there!
