We're an Aussie family of 4 doing our best to make ends meet with the rising costs of living. Check out what I received from a local food bank these past two Tuesdays (9th and 16th of January 2024). A special thank you for the recent friend mail, see what we were so lucky to be sent! I also unbox a surprise parcel sent from a mystery RU-vid subscriber!

@@makingendsmeet We are finally thawing out. We have had 3 rounds of burst pipes so currently no hot water, but the cold water is finally flowing again. I hate having to heat pots of water to wash dishes, but at least we do have water! This polar vortex has wreaked havoc on everyone. Power outages, freezing temps, black ice on the roads and everything else. It’s been crazy. Just grateful that we made it through…thanks for asking 🥰🥰🥰

Lisa, we get really random hot cross buns in Australia lol, it's become a thing where they seem to add another weird flavour every year, no idea why lol We started with just fruit and fruitless then they added chocolate, then cadbury chocolate, then brioche (plain, fruit, chocoate and cadbury chocolate) then salted caramel, apple cinnamon, dark and white chocolate (and in brioche versions too)! Things then got weird and they did vegemite and burger flavour, this year they have added hundreds and thousands (sprinkles). Along with gluten free etc! It's so weird! It's about the only things that get over the top weird in Australia!

I received a dehydrator for Christmas and the Saturday before i got a surprise food bank which had 12 -24oz bags of cauliflower. I dehydrated 9 bags and it made a quart and a pint dehydrated. My husband found frozen fresh cranberriels in freezer. I bought some sweet potatoes to dehydrate and when my fruit roll ups tray come I'll do tomatoes and probably the cranberries too. I can hardly wait to do these items. My eldest son got our dog pet treats dehydrated sweet potatoes for Christmss. Wes gets that defibrillator in Wednesday. I hope the XRay machine works right this time.

Hello MEM. Wow, you truly do have some wonderful viewers, such a lovely lot of things they have sent you. You also did quite well with the two small Tuesday hauls. I know how much the kids like the buns with the icing and sprinkles, and you all love the fruit buns and bread. Have you tried putting a little bit of honey on the toasted fruit bread? I think it is delicious though of course it does make it very sweet, but if you need a little extra bit of sugar during a busy day it would be good. I hope you are all keeping well, and though you love the kids, I bet you can not wait till they return to school. I know when my boy was young I always had mixed emotions when it was back to school time. The good thing was having some time to myself, being able to get things done without him under foot, but at the same time I did miss him being around, and was not keen on the getting up early to get him sorted and off to school. Well I look forward to Fridays haul to see what delicious goodies you get. Have a good week, and take care. Much love and respect as always, from your UK friend, Jo. xxxx

@makingendsmeet 6 месяцев назад

Hope you have a great week as well💕

@makingendsmeet Sign up below! If there's a Volunteer in your area, they will text you to coordinate a delivery. Typically in the US, you'll hear from us in four weeks, though in some areas, it could take longer due to an increased number of requests. Canada and Australia may experience longer wait times as we continue to expand. While some of our Volunteers are able to deliver extras, most of the time you'll get exactly what you're signing up for - an amazing, home-cooked lasagna or main dish. It's important to note that the ingredients for these delicious meals are paid for and graciously donated by the volunteer preparing the lasagna. Please be kind to our volunteers regardless of what they're able to give, especially if you've requested in the past and have received more than lasagna. Please only use this form to sign up for yourself. If you'd like to nominate someone for Lasagna Love, please click here. Country * Australia Select your country of residence First Name * Last Name * Email * Confirm Your Email Address * Street address Must be a street address we can deliver to, no PO Boxes please! Apt., Suite Apt, Suite, etc. City * Province/State * Please select Postal/Zip Code * Average Time to Delivery Based on deliveries over the last six months in your neighborhood, this is about how many days you'll wait for your lasagna. Country Code * 01 Mobile Phone * Your Volunteer will text you to coordinate. Country Code * 01 Confirm Your Mobile Phone * We've found that about 10% of requests have incorrect phone numbers - thank you for double checking yours! Do you have non-life threatening allergies or dietary restrictions? * Please only check yes if you are truly in need of a custom dish. We have a limited number of Volunteers that can accommodate, so your meal may take longer. Please help us reserve these spots for people who truly need them! Because all meals are prepared in a family kitchen, we are not able to accommodate allergy requests that are severe or life-threatening. How many adults in your family? * How many kids in your family? It's ok if it's zero, we're still happy to help! Our Volunteers like to know who they're helping. If you'd like, tell us a little about how this entrée will help your family, otherwise just use this space to say hello. * How did you hear about us? * Please select Send me updates from Lasagna Love! * YOU MUST READ AND AGREE WITH THIS WAIVER - CLICK HERE Then type AGREE here © Copyright Lasagna Love
