BONUS FOOD BANK HAUL! 

I cut up my celery and freeze it. I always use it in home made soups, dressings and stews. Yum

I chop celery up and keep it in the freezer to add to soups, but I do enjoy eating it too.

I am in NC as well and refuse to turn on the air yet as well lol

Love your family 😊

Amber,that blue bag is chicken breast,that Chick Filet gets at their restaurant. It's very good. My niece works at a chicken plant here and I buy it from her. It's usually 40 lbs.of it for like $20. It's good to add to Alfredo. Good haul!!

I enjoy ur family ur videos and i enjoy ur rambling

Haven't needed to attend a food pantry for several years now, but when I did, I was given a 10 lb bag of chicken breasts that was all frozen together. It wasn't seasoned, but since I knew it had likely been at least partially thawed and refrozen, to minimize risk I ended up thawing and boiling all of it. Then used the pulled meat in various other dishes after freezing the excess cooked meat. I would probably do the same think with your bag regardless of seasoning. You said you didn't really care for celery but you could turn it into a veggie stir fry with the bell pepper and onion for an Asian inspired meal. Maybe save back a few pieces of that chicken and debone, then cut into chunks to stir fry with the veggies. Thanks for sharing your hauls and food tips, Amber. Best of luck to your channel's growth and future endeavors.

Enjoyed thanks !!

ramble on. lol love it.

I love your channel and you. I am also not a huge people person either and i am in customer service so my acting classes have really paid off LOL

That shirt is THE BEST ever! YOur opening was awesome! Well said.

That was a good blessing

I love your kitchen

Ramble on Amber . Love seeing your videos and seeing you interacting with your family . Yummy apple fritters . I saw the other day that if you shred up your ice burg lettuce and put it in a glass jar it stays fresh. I know I put strawberries in a canning jar in the fridge they last longer . I know the drama of cats getting out . My granddaughters had a huge meltdown because she thought one of her cats got out . Apparently it knocked the screen partially out and got scared and ran away from the window inside . Well she was hysterical everyone was looking outside and all the time it was still in the house . When I was a little kid I would go out in snow storms looking for my cat. Looking forward to see what you cook tonight.

Amber great haul. I’m going to ask a favor. The next time you make jam or jelly, or can something, would you film it. I just got a steamer and canner. I would like to see how you do it so I have a reference. Just consider it. Great 👍 video. Love 💕 and Hugs. 💙💙💙

Your shirt is absolutely adorable! I just went grocery shopping today at one store, they had turkeys on sale 99 cents a pound I picked up 2! Tomorrow is Walmart and I’m not excited I hate the prices of groceries!

This was a wonderful food pantry haul. Love the produce. You can make many wonderful meals from it all. Happy Friday 😊 🌞

Good Job

Great haul

Amber your authenticity is the BEST! Thanks for sharing the Blessings that are available to help ends meet 🙏 you for also explaining preservation methods.

If you cut up the celery and put in glass jar with water. They will last fresh longer and easy for your daughter to snack on.

You never know what people are living with etc. During the week, spice girl Mel B admitted she lived with her mum and shopped at Aldi . The hamsters are mini princesses and they can be very pissed off is they don’t have their way.

Great haul and so many blessings!!!❤❤❤❤

Subscribed but first time watching.

There's a produce market near me. I paid 34 cents for a pepper today. Bananas are 20 or 25 cents a pound depending on how many pounds you buy.

yall are cracking me up!! mom and teen convo's!! but i would be MAD about that window screen🙂

Wow! What an amazing food pantry blessing! So many good things! Don’t mind the long video, so fun to hear the family stories!

I’ve got a good Greek recipe for you with the lentils…boil equal parts lentils with white or brown rice ….when it’s tender strain it put in a dish…fry up some white or yellow onions in vegetable oil until they are dark and place on top of the lentils and rice …makes a nice side dish…we like it with Greek salad and grilled chicken…and since you always get lentils rice and onions from the food pantry it’s a free recipe

Celery and cream cheese is good too!

The back and forth over celery is 😅

❤

I went too. I got a big box of collard greens and the Brussel sprouts which I’m gifting to a daycare teacher. We both got very different stuff though. The only thing that we both received is the fritters, Brussels and the apples. You got a good haul. BTW I enjoy the rambling

I have a story for you... . When I still worked , it was 8pm - 8am shifts . We lived in a rather rural area , and I didn't have a car , so I'd walk about 45 minutes to the closest bus stop , to bus into the nearest city's hospitals . No biggie , but it all took time . Between walking and bussing , it took me about 150 minutes to get to my work shift . So I'd leave home about 5:30 pm . My children got off the school bus about 4pm , so it was always a rush to talk to them , feed them , help them with homework , etc . . By this time it was usually getting easier , because they were old enough to rewarm up food and do some chores . The children were about 13 and 15 years old when this " event " took place . My 15 y/o daughter had pet rats , and as a school project decided to breed them . Different rats , different colors , throughout a few months . So there was more than 1 pregnant rant or / and litters of ratlings on the go . So.... . The children come home from school . I usually spent extra time with my 13 y/o son , because he has autism and needed things a certain way for him to do his homework ( and just to see how he was doing overall ) . My daughter was tending to her pet rats , and decided that the first litter of ratlings were old enough to be put with some of her adult female rats . When she did so , 1 of the adult female rats started to attack the ratlings . My daughter is freaking out . Not just crying , but loudly howling and sobbing . We got the ratling killing rat out of the cage , but not being she had killed 2 of the ratlings . We got the rest of the ratlings back into their cage , and we cleaned up the shredded 2 ratlings . But I couldn't get the children to settle down . And I couldn't leave her in that state . So I phoned work and told the lady who booked our shifts that I couldn't make it to work that night . My 15 y/o is still howling and crying , and the lady can hear her through the phone . She asks me what is going on . First I answered " that's my daughter . 2 of her pets just died and I can't leave her when she's like this " . The lady asked more n more questions , and eventually I ended up telling her the full story . So , next time 1 of your children does something rather weird , keep in mind that at least you never had to take a shift off because a couple of rats died .... .

I just found out that my 14 year old likes celery.

Agree! I work full time and still struggle at times ❤❤

Hamburger or chicken meat cooked with onions,potatoes cut like you will fry them celery salt or celery seed . You can put cut up celery in it and add water cook down to the thickness you like . I do corn bread or Texas toast. Or just salteens.

The more people who get help, the more people they can help.

My kids would each eat a fresh apple. Boom. 5 gone at once. 😅 we go through so many apples.

Don’t forget to freeze the capri suns to use as ice packs to keep the picnic cold

Gerbils can't taste heat either cos I've seen them eating dried whole dried chillis also I've had the same problem with cats and bread 😂

"I don't like people" omg lol!!!😅

You can sprout the lentils and feed them to your chickens.

I like cut up raw brussels sprouts in a salad.

Real life….your girls had me laughing

Any vegetables that you don't like that you can't manage to give to anyone (for example, if no one likes the celery), your chickens will enjoy. That may save a little on buying chicken food!

i wanna eat the food.

Yep, just because you both are working doesn't mean you aren't struggling with feeding the family.

Are you talking about flash food? I think that's what it's called. We don't have it either.

OMG!!! Your my kind of girl. I too am very independent and no friends. I don't like people either.

Yeah I’m with you I don’t like ppl either , not a mean way I just like being home and that’s it

Tell your daughter I am renaming her cat to Houdini. He likes to escape. LOL

You are better off keeping your house and paying off your mortgage , for sure . Rents are always going up in prices , and rather unstable housing .

Our dogs are the same way, don't go into my yard!

Aww I was laughing so hard ther I'm watching this with head phones on and my partner sitting near me josh coffed in the video right at the start but I didn't realise it was josh at the time and just sed to my partner can you do that a bit qwieter pleas I can't hear amber and he sed 1 who's amber abd 2 I didn't do do nothing that's when I realised x

I dont think that is an orange pepper like you are thinking. I think it is a habenero. Better take a test and figure out the heat factor.

God didn't make meddle class 84 California
