As a mom who needs to stretch meals/snacks and likes to work smarter not harder, garbage bag snack mix is the way to go!! Wonderful idea that I wish I had thought of when my kids were younger. Hope your day is going well, see you tomorrow!! ❤🙏🙂
When you talk about your mum, my heart breaks. You are still healing & trust me I lost mine 2011 (same year I had my one & only child). Still reminders every single day. But good ones. Love your channel Amy ❤love from 🇬🇧 xxx
You’re so right about things people put in their body (we don’t take prescription medication…we use garlic when we are sick and it’s worked for us for years). I love watching your videos! Have a blessed day! ❤
My mum as a child used to go to biscuit factories with a garbage bag to gather all broken biscuits that where not fit to be packaged for sale ❤ you do what works for you 🥰
O my you brought back some memories for me with the garbage bag mix , thank God we have a rain 🌧️ day Thursday here but as you already know rain makes heat worse, I love your cook book and I just ordered a couple of Dutch/Amish cookbooks I'm so excited for them ,I went to your favorite store yesterday and I love it, but traveling back home for my baby sister wake she passed away Sunday so I have been trying to just keep it together,o so hard, she was so young.have a blessed day my friend
I have never had a problem with freezing nuts. I do it all the time when it gets hot and humid, even in the winter I will throw bags of nuts in the freezer. I also put chocolate chips in the freezer to store also. Have a great day!!
It's recommended to freeze them, especially for longterm storage, anyway. The oils in nuts will go rancid if they are kept room temperature long enough.
Hi, Amy. I have processed corn nuts, nuts, chips for coatings on chicken and pork. Great idea for garbage snack mix up. I wish I had known this when my kids were young and had all their friends eating at our house. I moved from Nebraska to Georgia when I retired and I love the warm, hot weather too. Enjoy all your videos. Blessings to you all.
I had never seen the garbage bag snack thing before that is a great idea . Everything looked amazing that you baked. Have a good rest of your day. ❤ From Scotland
You took the markers (except for a couple) out of the drawer in the butlers pantry and said you were going to put them upstairs in your office. I’m sure you have found them by now but just in case you didn’t. I do stuff like that all the time. I change where I’m keeping something and then can’t remember where I moved it to.
The fruit salsa would be awesome over vanilla ice cream, yogurt or cottage cheese. Yum. I love the no bake cookies. Been making them for years. One of our sons actually asks for a batch for a Christmas present. The neighborhood critter would have had a field day with your garbage bag snack mix! What a great idea.
Thank you Amy I’m glad you’re more settled and feeling more accomplished each day. Moving is tiring so I appreciate your videos when you probably could do with resting more, love from the UK
The white bowls are gorgeous. I have to tell you I have enjoyed watching your husband the past few weeks. You can tell he is so excited about the move and he has talked so much more. I’ve just enjoyed watching y’all together.
Garbage bag snacks are great! The bag is simply the vessel used to put it all together. You showed you do not store the food in it 😊 No worries! That corner you had the freezer in would make a great "Maxine Zone" or put your coffee bar there. I loved the idea someone else had mentioned about a bakers rack for all your cookbooks there as well. You could hang a couple of your favorite aprons off it too! I hope you had a great rest of your day as well! May you Be Blessed Beyond Belief!!!
I always say what did they do back in the days when all these things were not invented, to each their own!! I love learning new things!! Especially how to stretch a dollar 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️❤️
My Mom used to make “Wilted Lettuce” very similar to your warm spinach salad. I love both! Her recipe used white vinegar and a Tablespoon of sugar instead of red wine vinegar. Adding it to the menu this week. My older children used to love the fruit salsa and cinnamon chips, but I haven’t made it for years. Time to bring some old recipes back in the mix! Thanks for the inspiration. 🤍
Hi I heard you say sharp shopper that is Jamerrill Stewart favourite store for her smacks and yoghurt and food deals It’s good that you will be able to shop there to save money on food 😊
Coffee station on white storage area ! ( where you mixed up snacks ) Move Keurig and all cups / water bottles there too. Allows More counter and cabinet space.
Ms. Amy my Grandmother used to put a little bleach in the garbage bags that had to sit outside of the trash can. Never had a problem with any animals getting in them then. Good luck!
I do miss the Bears. Especially when you use the Smoker. No Bears in the suburbs but it’s a joyful life for you all. I’ve never had a problem with Flours in the heat as long as in a good container. If there’s excess that’s long term storage either Vacuum Seal or any Air Tight Container with oxygen absorbers.
One of my favorite recipes that I Mom used to make was a spinach salad with sliced hard-boiled eggs, slivered red onion, bacon piece and optionally sliced baby Bella mushrooms. The dressing was a warm honey Dijon vinaigrette with a little of the warm bacon grease added to it. It was my absolute favorite. I think I need to make it soon! Thanks for the idea Amy 🥰. I’ll few closer to my mom when I make it! She’ll be smiling up there in heaven when she sees me make it.
A vacuum sealer will work wonders for long term storage of nuts and grains. I live on the coast of N.C. and I use mine a lot. I pack all my meats in them as well as my grains and nuts. less room used and you can wash them and reseal them.
That garbage bag is a lot better to mix food in than buying a 13 gallon bowl that you'll use once every 5 years 😂😂 don't worry, we use to cut up our watermelons in a garbage bag to keep all of the juice and seeds from going everywhere and causing ants! I survived that, I'm sure your snacks are just fine 😂 shocker, I still drink out of the water hose, so I'm pretty much immune to everything 🤣
That’s wonderful there’s a Sharp Shopper there. Jamarrell loves Sharp Shopper discount store, wish we had one here in Tn, I enjoy watching you make all the goodies for the family, they look so good, I did buy your cookbook, have a blessed rest of your day😊
Trail mix is another snack stretcher, nuts, corn nuts, M&M, raisins, dried cranberries, small pretzels,large coconut flakes basically anything your heart desires in smaller uniform size, this also freezes great. I’m definitely going to do the garbage bag snack to keep in the freezer for when the grandkids come over. Have a great day 🙏🏻
Not sure if it's near you, but when we were on vacation in Florida a couple years back, we went to Wekiwa Springs State Park swimming hole was awesome!! I think it's like $10-20 per car of people. It's a natural spring fed swimming hole. They have a little snack shack and changing rooms and restrooms. We really enjoyed it.
Hi Amy , I’m out in November god willing as my health over the last 18 months has been bad . I love America . My sister married an American guy and she loved it too. I’m married to an Irish guy and make lots of Irish soda bread and sourdough bread. And lots of U.K. dishes . Try some without using the oven. Have enjoyed your videos at home and in hospital . God bless you x
Your snacks look great! I am glad you are able to appreciate the weather. It can be hard if you had to adjust a lot. I know they keep talking about a heat wave, but I have lived my whole life in Texas and it is just normal. Not every year is as hot as the previous and those can be nice. This is a more normal Texas summer I think. The change I have noticed in Texas, that differs greatly from my youth is how much colder we get now than we ever did in my first 40 years. The last 10 years it has been getting a little colder each winter. My first 40 we never really got below 30 - 32 degrees. That was our coldest. The we started dropping to 28 and then 25 and like 5 years ago we started getting down to 17 and and 14 degrees at the coldest. Then Snowmageddon hit in 2021 and we literally got down to zero without power for long parts of the day. I was just grateful we had any power at all as many didn't. The idea of ice and snow solidly covering the ground for 5 days plus is just unheard of let alone temps less than 10 degrees. I hit the sporting goods store the first chance I had after being able to get out and drive and got new headlamp type lights. Battery operated lamps, batteries for the lamps, tea lite type candles and crank chargers for phones, etc. I was not going through another round of that wondering if I would have a charged phone if I needed it or able to at least just read while tucked in bed because it was too cold in the house to walk around much. I will take my normal Texas summer any day over that. I just love that you are enjoying the new and adjusting to it. Be sure to stay hydrated. The dehydration is real. I went into one of our chain gas stations last weekend for a LARGE ice tea and when I went to the counter to pay, the guy just said have a nice day. He didn't even charge me and it wasn't even one of our hottest days. 😀
The garbage bag snacks is cool. Usually you can buy a box or cheese puff container of mixed stuff. But yours looks better. What a way to mix up a huge batch.
You can get food grade bags, garbage can liners. Tye garbage bags have chemicals mixed into the plastic to kill bacteria and reduce smell. Looked good otherwise 😊
My kids love the snack mix! They get excited to find their favorite in the mix. When they find a frito corn chip they’re like “YES!!!” It’s so funny. They like the variety for school lunch too.
Great idea for garbage bag snacks! I use to use the paper grocery store bags! It works for me and my kids loved it. Chicken looked delicious as well as all the other things you made today! The kids now have enough snacks to last a while!
Have you thought about window tint to keep your House cool? We did and it makes all the difference. I live in North Georgia. It does get quite hot here. Same concept that is used for car windows. 🔥🔥🔥
I think I'll wait...i think come winter it will be nice to have them wide open. To let in brightness but i don't know if that will make it too hot in here ..but it is a good idea. Thanks for it
I got your cookbook and LOVE it. My son made fun of me with all my sticky notes marking pages I want to try at the top and all the ones to continue with on the side. It is one of the very few that I use a lot. Thank you so much.
Yummy! It all looks so good!! The garbage bag snack mix is a great idea that I've never heard of before! Thanks for sharing! I love your house! Your pool is amazing! It looks like you're settling into your lovely new kitchen perfectly!! God bless you guys! Hugs and blessings!!
Totally 100% agree with the comment! People may disagree but also can be comments on other things bad for you which is so true. I think I probably ate dirt as a child , used tanning beds as a teenager, drank tap water all my life and all kinds of things and here I am still here over 60 years later so go ahead and use that trash bag!
Amy you make my heart happy to see you getting settled in to your routine again. And now I don't feel so bad about the lighting in my home because I can see you in your new home are having the same issues I have with it. Love yall
Good morning wishing you a wonderful week and just one more thing you will need to put your new flour from the store in the freezer to till you need it.
I think you had your sharpies in the butler pantry. I believe you put them in your office I could be wrong, but I believe they’re in your office take a look. 😊
Jamerril Stewart has introduced a huge UA-cam audience to SharpShopper. We oh and ah over her great finds….sadly, these stores are only in a few states. All we can do is dream. 😂❤
I am amazed at how much youre multi tasking, now that you have extra counter space lol!!! Wow!! And ps you keep using that garbage bag, i think its hilarious lol
Hey happy Tuesday my sweet friend ❤️. Love your earrings. Super cute 🥰. Yay so excited your getting settled and getting organized. I'm a few videos behind. Nice great ideas.
My son has side dressers like yours, at first we all laughed at how small they are but surprisingly they work .,less clutter just enough space less dust too! Happy you guys are happy Amy!!!!
Good morning. As far as your trash cans, figure out what kind of animals they are. U may want to keep them in the garage till trash day. If that is not a possibility, there r so many natural repellants like peppermint oil, vinegar, euphalipis, and others. Grated irish spring around it or on top of the lid. All work good and are not harmful to the animals or the environment. 😊
What I do when I make cookies I bake a batch then the remaining dough I roll into a balls and flash freeze and when frozen I label the bag of what they are in goes into the bag then bake as you want them..!
So my husband said that as your papayas are on u tree or cut out ,too get a knife and cut lines across hole papaya so this milk that comes out , and as soon as they are soft and real orange you eat them.😊
Living in Florida is very different than where you came from. I too live in the Tampa bay area and I believe you’re just south of me. For me, I freeze all nuts, the usual, butter, cheese, milk, bread. I keep potatoes, onions and jgarlic and most of fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator. I think the problem is the heat and humidity really wreaks havoc on your fruits and vegetables and nuts. Perhaps you can move your coffe stuff to the wall where your freezer was. That would free up your counter space.
I made the garbage bag snack mix this weekend!! It was a huge hit! We sent some home with family and we've still been enjoying it!! Thanks for sharing this!
Good morning Amy! Now that you only have 6 kids at home have you noticed that you will start making smaller meals and not buying as much? I know with my family as they started growing up and moving out that I had to learn to make smaller amounts of food because we would get tired of eating leftovers. I never had as many as you did for sure. Now it’s just me and my husband and if I get a big box of snacks from Sam’s we get tired of it quicker. It’s like you have to learn to cook all over again! Lol. Hope y’all have a great day! Sweet Maxine is adjusting good to her new home!
Goodmorning Amy and company! Just some info regarding window blinds. I purchased some years ago blinds that were single cell blinds and had a foil type backing that made for room darkening shades. This kept the rooms cooler when sun came in windows. Not sure if they exist anymore just a thought. Also the site I used was “Steves Blinds” i believe. Thanks for brightening my day! You all are awesome!
Hey Amy, I'm afraid we're going to have a really hot summer this year! Not going to it is already very hot. Yes, you need to put your nuts or anything that has a lot of oil in them and the refrigerator or better freezer. That way they won't go rancid. if you have oil that you don't use often you have a lot of it that could go in the refrigerator to.
As a mom who needs to stretch meals/snacks and likes to work smarter not harder, garbage bag snack mix is the way to go!! Wonderful idea that I wish I had thought of when my kids were younger. Hope your day is going well, see you tomorrow!! ❤🙏🙂

Having dinner someone else cooked is a Joy, but one of your babies, Be Proud Mama.
My mom did something similar to the garbage bag snack but mixed hers in a paper grocery bag. It was a great treat!
Good memories
My mum as a child used to go to biscuit factories with a garbage bag to gather all broken biscuits that where not fit to be packaged for sale ❤ you do what works for you 🥰

Happy birthday to your mom in heaven. I remember was this time of year as she was my age and our birthdays were close together.
Thank you 😊 tomorrow
For anyone making the cinnamon chips-I stack a few and see a pizza heel cutter to cut them into triangles. Super fast an$easy to do before baking.
I have never had a problem with freezing nuts. I do it all the time when it gets hot and humid, even in the winter I will throw bags of nuts in the freezer. I also put chocolate chips in the freezer to store also. Have a great day!!
It's recommended to freeze them, especially for longterm storage, anyway. The oils in nuts will go rancid if they are kept room temperature long enough.
Like the garbage bin “punch”. Back in my collage days
Wooo!! Love the garbage bag mix! My grands are going to love helping me!!
its always a winner
i’m going to try the garbage bags snacks ❤ i grew up in the 70’s we drank from the garden hose lol
Hi, Amy. I have processed corn nuts, nuts, chips for coatings on chicken and pork. Great idea for garbage snack mix up. I wish I had known this when my kids were young and had all their friends eating at our house. I moved from Nebraska to Georgia when I retired and I love the warm, hot weather too.

Possums in Florida! Loved our trash when we lived there.

You can freeze bananas! I slice them, lay them on a cookie sheet and freeze. Then put into a ziploc bag n back into the freezer! ❤
The fruit salsa would be awesome over vanilla ice cream, yogurt or cottage cheese. Yum. I love the no bake cookies. Been making them for years.

Hi Amy, I seen how others takes a spoon to scoop out Kiwi, like avocado out the skins …. Less waste .
That tray is gorgeous! The fruit salsa looks divine. 😊

If there’s excess that’s long term storage either Vacuum Seal or any Air Tight Container with oxygen absorbers.
Put a nice little settee and small coffee table and end tables with little lamps. Set it all on a rug and you’ll have your own private little nook.
Love that idea!
My favorite thing in the summer is tomatoes and cucumbers mixed with mayo and a little salt. Let it sit in the fridge and the Mayo makes a nice sauce.
One of my favorite recipes that I Mom used to make was a spinach salad with sliced hard-boiled eggs, slivered red onion, bacon piece and optionally sliced baby Bella mushrooms.

She does shop there and i know the name from her.. I'll be excited to go one of these times
Jamerrill has sworn off the grocery store now so no more sharp shopper. 😮
Amy you amaze me with how much you get done in a day! Hope you had a Blessed Tuesday also!
Everything in moderation. Snacks are fine once in a while
My Mom made a warm wilted lettuce salad with red leaf lettuce. I always put strawberries in my spinach salad
Trail mix is another snack stretcher, nuts, corn nuts, M&M, raisins, dried cranberries, small pretzels,large coconut flakes basically anything your heart desires in smaller uniform size, this also freezes great.

Well I just love the black bin bags snacks Amy. 'Happy children 🤗' Maxine's little tail wagging for the bacon 😊 she is so cute. Blessings to you all.
Have a wonderful day
Anytime you have individual packages of things the foodbanks are usually happy to get.
Amy I love the garbage bag snack idea!! Great idea!! I am going to do this!!

Hi Amy , I’m out in November god willing as my health over the last 18 months has been bad . I love America . My sister married an American guy and she loved it too.
I’m married to an Irish guy and make lots of Irish soda bread and sourdough bread. And lots of U.K. dishes . Try some without using the oven. Have enjoyed your videos at home and in hospital . God bless you x
praying for you
Thank you
You can grind up flavored corn nuts and use in place of flour or bread crumbs when coating meat. My husband loves it and we do the same with chips.
I was glad to hear this. Would probably be delicious

hi Amy I really enjoyed watching your channel when you wrote recipes there. if you could continue this I was grateful to you deborah
I will again ..sorry just getting back in the swing of things. Thank you for the reminder
The garbage bag snacks is cool. Usually you can buy a box or cheese puff container of mixed stuff. But yours looks better. What a way to mix up a huge batch.
You have a Smart Shopper in Tampa. Sharp Shoppers are only in VA and PA.
Oh lol I didn't see that. Thanks

That tray will be nice for potato bar, ice cream sundae, taco bar. So much fun
There's a Strawberry Festival in Plant City every year. When my parents lived in Zephyrhills, they loved going.
Amy, My aunt worked for the almord factor. She said keep them in the freezer because they start tasting Rancid
You are one amazing mama, Amy! I loved this video!!! You are also one beautiful woman!! ❤ love and hugs from Michigan!!!
Thank you for the kind words

Good morning sunshine, another beautiful day.
Good morning! Yes another beautiful day!
Love the open space since you moved the freezer 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I also use raisins and pecans in my fruit salads
I got your cookbook and LOVE it. My son made fun of me with all my sticky notes marking pages I want to try at the top and all the ones to continue with on the side. It is one of the very few that I use a lot. Thank you so much.

Hi Amy, the Tex-Mex restaurants we go to here in Houston, they have the chips in the large gray trash cans and we eat them just fine.
I am amazed at how much youre multi tasking, now that you have extra counter space lol!!! Wow!! And ps you keep using that garbage bag, i think its hilarious lol
Hey happy Tuesday my sweet friend ❤️. Love your earrings. Super cute 🥰. Yay so excited your getting settled and getting organized. I'm a few videos behind. Nice great ideas.
I always put my peanuts in the freezer and also my coffee in the freezer to
Have a lovely day Amy. From South africa
Great idea with the garbage bag snack
My son has side dressers like yours, at first we all laughed at how small they are but surprisingly they work .,less clutter just enough space less dust too! Happy you guys are happy Amy!!!!
Yes and we put a tall lamp on too

Haven't done tortilla chip in a long time. Thanks for the reminder. If they burn because of sugar cover on just 1 side.
Looks delicious and yummy 😋 😍 👌 😊 👍 😊
No judgement here, garbage snacks rock! 🍿🥨🥜
I put a handful of nutritional yeast in my spaghetti sauce and sprinkle it in my scrambled eggs. So good.
I loved everything you made today! Thanks for sharing! My mom also makes that warm spinach salad and I make it for my family!
What I do when I make cookies I bake a batch then the remaining dough I roll into a balls and flash freeze and when frozen I label the bag of what they are in goes into the bag then bake as you want them..!
So my husband said that as your papayas are on u tree or cut out ,too get a knife and cut lines across hole papaya so this milk that comes out , and as soon as they are soft and real orange you eat them.😊
Living in Florida is very different than where you came from. I too live in the Tampa bay area and I believe you’re just south of me. For me, I freeze all nuts, the usual, butter, cheese, milk, bread. I keep potatoes, onions and jgarlic and most of fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator. I think the problem is the heat and humidity really wreaks havoc on your fruits and vegetables and nuts. Perhaps you can move your coffe stuff to the wall where your freezer was. That would free up your counter space.
You should really get you a Food Saver vacuum sealer now! Preserves so much better in high humidity for the freezer! Plus takes up less room!
Absolutely brilliant black bag idea
I made the garbage bag snack mix this weekend!! It was a huge hit! We sent some home with family and we've still been enjoying it!! Thanks for sharing this!
Makes me smile. We love it
@@amymaryon This will be a part of our snack rotation! 😋
Good morning Amy! Now that you only have 6 kids at home have you noticed that you will start making smaller meals and not buying as much? I know with my family as they started growing up and moving out that I had to learn to make smaller amounts of food because we would get tired of eating leftovers. I never had as many as you did for sure. Now it’s just me and my husband and if I get a big box of snacks from Sam’s we get tired of it quicker. It’s like you have to learn to cook all over again! Lol. Hope y’all have a great day! Sweet Maxine is adjusting good to her new home!
We adjusted a few years ago and this last year adjusted and now that we are here we are adjusting ❤️
Goodmorning Amy and company! Just some info regarding window blinds. I purchased some years ago blinds that were single cell blinds and had a foil type backing that made for room darkening shades. This kept the rooms cooler when sun came in windows. Not sure if they exist anymore just a thought. Also the site I used was “Steves Blinds” i believe. Thanks for brightening my day! You all are awesome!
Oh and I forgot!, maybe a ceiling fan in the kitchen. 😅
Love the garbage bag snacks ❤️👍. I ordered your online cookbook yeah🎉🎉
I wonder if corn nuts would be good in peanut brittle or puppy chow.
When I lived in an area with a lot of bears, we had special bear proof garbage cans.
No discount grocery stores in Brevard County Florida. Been waiting and looking for years!
Hey Amy, I'm afraid we're going to have a really hot summer this year! Not going to it is already very hot. Yes, you need to put your nuts or anything that has a lot of oil in them and the refrigerator or better freezer. That way they won't go rancid. if you have oil that you don't use often you have a lot of it that could go in the refrigerator to.
thanks for this
