EASY, Homemade Snacks Your Family Will LOVE! 

I loved hearing the children reading scriptures and seeing you involving them in the kitchen. Great job Mom!

Energy balls. Oats, Almond butter, raisins, dried coconut, maple syrup , flax meal mix and rolled into balls and stored in freezer.

As a beekeeper, may i suggest that you add raw honey to cooled down recipes. By staying 110 F and below, you won't be killing off all the good nutrition. That would also include hot teas, oatmeal, etc. 😊

Love the muffin making segment. Seems the kids know the routine - bench, babies (one on the back and one on the hip), older kids learn math by measuring ingredients, mom mixes with one hand 😂. Great episode! Glad you showed up in my feed.

Watching this video really warmed my heart! as a 62-year-old mother of 8, I raised my children in the country on lots of dairy and homemade bread this really took me back. It's lovely to see the Simplicity of your life! God bless you and your family

I’m still a ‘kid’ myself, and although my siblings scoff processed snacks down their throats, i can’t bear to eat them. it has such a detrimental effect on their health and on the environment. everything now seems to be wrapped in plastic and it pains me to see party sized chip bags being inhaled by them. Now that i’m taking responsibility for what i put in my body, i have been making lunches and dinners (occasionally) for myself using organic ingredients, and it always fills me up, and my occasional nut/musli bar is a nice treat. yes, i never get to sit with my sisters as i eat my self made dinner at the table alone as my siblings sit in bed mindlessly scrolling while eating instant ramen, sometimes they eat my food and compliment me. i’ve been needing snack ideas that i can make over the weekend that i can bring to school, and all of these are perfect and so easy to make!! thank you so much for your hard work, and i can see how much your family cares for each other. it so heartwarming, i wish that someday, that will be my family.

I love that the children are involved. ❤🇦🇺

You just showed up randomly in my feed today and I consider it a lucky thing. I'm subbing, but to be honest, I'm not sure how often I'll actually watch since your content isn't really my thing. (68, live alone and grandkids are a thousand miles away, don't live on a homestead, can't grow my own food though I do some herbs and cherry tomatoes) But I was so impressed with you and your approach to snacking. I agree if you teach your children to eat their three nutritionally sound meals per day, there shouldn't really be any need for snacks except very occasionally and as a special treat. I'm thrilled to say my daughter feels the same way and gets quite indignant about how people feed poison into their children. I think she has it right when she says it's yet another way for parents to simply not interact and "deal" with their children. If their children want attention, rather than stopping to attend to that real need or redirecting them into a healthy activity, these moms respond with, "Would you like a snack?" Or "Grab a snack and play on your tablet!" which encourages two unhealthy behaviors - using food to solve problems that aren't hunger and inactivity. I like your approach - getting the kids involved. As adults, we feel like things taste better if someone else fixes them for us, but kids feel the opposite. They LOVE food they've had a hand in creating even if it's marginal! 😂 Sorry - I'm rambling! I wish I could blame it on my age, but I've been a rambler my whole life! 😊❤

I weaned my toddler off snacks also. And if he is hungry before a meal is ready, I give him grapes, muester cheese, bananas or peanuts. I bought a board made of olive wood, where I keep his peanuts on so he may enjoy them. He has become better at eating as I gave up on snacks. It's nice to see someone who does this also.

I LOVE how amazing this homestead life is, while seeing Costco sugar or other store items. It’s a reminder that we can do amazing things and make the most of our meals from scratch, but it’s also okay and normal to need to buy things at the store.

Aside from the great info, I really enjoy that while you're filming, the kids are just doing their thing in the background or in the baby carrier. It's very wholesome and natural.

As a very minimal snacking mom myself its refreshing to see someone else who is like this. Other moms always comment how well my boys eat their meals...well..they dont have unlimited snacks! If someone is hungry but I'm not quiet preparing a meal yet, my boys have a piece of cheese or a yogurt and fruit. Banana is my go to fruit as a snack. Hard boiled eggs are definitely a big hit as well.

Love watching your precious family making things together!

Thank you for sharing, looking forward to a new way of eating for our grand baby who lives with us full time. Gut health affects mental health. so better to start them off on the right foot.

This was a great reminder of the simple things we can prepare to have ready... so much healthier for sure!

This is so raw and authentic. This is what i want to achieve in life. I’ve recently stopped buying packaged snacks too and educating my kids on food. Real food.❤

You are an awesome mother,wife, partner, congratulations

If you craved chocolate it might have been because you were low on magnesium. Cacao powder is raw and unprocessed unlike cocoa. Cocoa is stripped of all the healthy nutrients like magnesium. Since adding cacao powder into my diet to support my iron I no longer crave chocolate.

I love this!I’ve been wanting to get away from buying snacks, but don’t really know where to start - and this Popped up randomly on my feed! Also I was thinking I wanted a glass of chocolate milk while the babies sleep so this video was very timely 😂

I love the idea of using the blender to mix up batter. Seems much faster and easier to clean up than my countertop mixer or even a bowl and whisk. I learned a new trick thanks!

Hi, I just found your channel. We have a lot in common, I have three kids 12, 10, and 8. We homeschool, make most of our foods from scratch, such as slow cooking our meats and saving the bones for broth. I make all my breads from scratch using organic hard white wheat flour. I make a lot of quick breads for the kids breakfast such as spiced pumpkin bread, yogurt bread sticks, oven sheet pancakes, honey cornbread muffins, applesauce bread, etc. Or I will make peanut butter oat and honey balls for their breakfast or snack option. I make yeast breads as well. Once a week I make sandwich rolls about 16-20 rolls that last the entire week, I make pizza once a month using no nitrate meats and whole fat mozzarella cheese and season our own organic tomato sauce, I make other yeast breads as well and I like to to watch cooking channels (usually ones outside of the united states) that cook hand made breads from scratch to get new recipes and techniques. If we do buy prepackaged items we try to get the healthiest foods possible and buy organic and or all natural. we buy a lot of our beef from a local butcher. We are wanting to homestead soon but haven't got to that point yet since we just moved to undeveloped land a year ago and we were busy getting the land developed but Lord willing it will happen soon!

I think what you are doing with your family is fantastic, and you are helping me look, at snacking a healthy way. Thank you.

God bless you and your family. Loved the recipes, the life style, and specially the reciting of Psalm 23 by one of your kids!

Can I just say….. You are such a good Mom😍 God bless you and your family ❤

What a loving mom you are. Cooking healthy food for your family is one of the things I always cherrish because my mom did that for us 5 syblings and my dad❤

Great tips. Thank you for the muffin recipe! We have been loving sourdough freezer waffles. They’re a great way to use up discard and my kids can make one themselves when they’re hungry. Yogurt with granola, sourdough crackers, carrots with homemade hummus, cottage cheese with applesauce, hard boiled eggs are also favorites. Now that my kids are older and play a lot of sports, they always want meat so I’ve been making a bag of marinated steak strips that they can cook on demand.

What a busy Mom you are! Loved all the recipes and your lifestyle!

Licking the milk jar b4 putting it away is sucha mom thing to do 😂 Reminds me of my mama ^_^ ty~

I'm not a snacker but I try to help my metabolism so for my families's snacks we love hummus or soft cheeses with bread or carrots. I make black bean dark chocolate brownies; sweet potato/pumpkin/butternut squash chocolate chip muffins; cranberry (or any berry) muffin with protein and collagen powder from Hearthy Foods; homemade jello with Hearthy Foods Gelatin; herbs, greens, and cheese filled hand pies; popcorn; homemade baked chips (veggies), and I love chocolate milk but I like carob even more, so I get carob pods, make syrup and mix it with milk. I am learning to make more bread snacks like crackers and pretzels. At the holidays I also make cookies and cakes, but that's just a few times a year. Your videos are inspirational, thank you!

It’s awesome to see moms that invite their kids into the kitchen to learn some basic cooking and baking skills. Part of why I know how to cook as a young adult is that I was always helping my mom in the kitchen. I’ve been cracking eggs since I was like three or four. I think it sucks when parents shoo their kids out of the kitchen and then are surprised when their kids grow up and don’t know how to cook. So it’s great to see you inviting your kids to help with the muffins. :)

I love your ideas and cooking videos! So healthy and delicious

Between last night and tonight, I made the Maple-cinnamon almonds, and the Banana Oat muffins! Both are SOOOOO good, and were SO easy and quick. THANK YOU for sharing!

A beautiful tribute to how God has blessed both you and your husband, as well as your lovely children.

I’m definitely making those almonds! Fantastic idea and so much healthier than the ones I was buying at Trader Joe’s (not to mention much cheaper!)

Thank you for all your tips! It’s been a struggle in my home because my husband is a major snacker and I am not lol. So with the children we keep lots of fruit and veggies on hand for them to snack on but I’ve been wanting to switch it up and be more intentional! Homemade granola, parfaits, and little bento boxes(especially for car trips) with boiled eggs, cheese cubes and fruit have been a win for us! I can’t wait to try the gummies and muffins you suggested!

I’ve been curious about this! Thanks for the great ideas! 😊

What a precious family! I love this!

Thanks for this! I’ve been uneasy about the unhealthy snacks my grands eat and wondering if I could make up some good ones for them to try, and this is giving me a boost!

Wow, you are wonderwoman !! Your feed came up and i just started watching. Im past all those days and now am realizing, how did i do all that ? ( I did not homeschool but did a ton of work. . ). Thanks for sharing the recipes !!

Thanks def gonna try these snacks.

Great video. Thank you for sharing with us. Another thing that the "snacks" from the store has a lot of is High Fructose Corn Syrup with is super bad, I will have to give some of these a try for my grandchildren.

The muffin recipe makes an amazing waffle recipe as well!! I added tsp on cinnamon and plant protein powder for the waffles and my kids ate it up! Thanks for sharing your smarts 💡

The gummies are a great idea. I have a lot of the same kind of snacks- hard boiled egg, dairy, nuts, baked good. A favorite daily healthy snack is healthy pancakes (oats, banana, cottage cheese, massive # eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, etc) + yogurt + fruit compote + sprinkle of nuts. I love salad but need to use frozen veggies often as it takes so much time to make salad. Salad 3 times per day? wow.

My first video watching and I loved it! Simple lifestyle with focus on home and family makes life richer. Your children are blest. Sharing one of your family days in real life was so enjoyable to watch...I'm going to share this with my daughter who has two young girls, 2 1/2 years and 8 months. She also strives for healthy and nutritious food choices. Will be trying out the snacks you shared. Thanks so much. Looking forward to watching more

Thank you for these ideas. One thing we love is Chia Seed Pudding. I make it with either heavy cream or chocolate almond milk, a bit of vanilla and maple syrup.

You are my new BFF 😂😂❤. Watching from Liberia, West Africa. Great work sis. I used to watch you when I was in America.

I made your muffin recipe and brought them to our homeschooling co-op last week and they all disappeared. I love recipes in the blender (so easy) and that it has all wholesome ingredients. My kids also love boiled eggs. Great video!

So cute how the little girl is praying true Lord’s Prayer in the background while mom cooks gummies. ❤️😍

Such a great video! A healthy snack we almost always keep on hand: I make cashew milk(so easy to make!!) and then I make individual jars of chia pudding out of that. After the pudding sets, I top them usually with frozen blueberries or frozen mango and a nut or different kind of seed. Drizzle of honey on top and they are really easy to eat any time of the day❤

You’re so adorable! Thanks for thesesnack ideas

I could def relate from the start of the video - I also like to spend an afternoon cooking to have things ready to eat for our family, and recently have started cooking hard boiled eggs in the air fryer to have on hand. 15min at 135C, followed by an ice bath 👍

We started growing our own popcorn and we love it! So fresh and not gmo. Otherwise fresh fruit and pb toast with home baked bread.

I really enjoyed this video! I think the snack ideas are really good. And it's great to watch your kids help you and you teach them to make healthy food.

Thank you so much. So encouraging seeing mommas doing there best to keep family happy, healthy, and heaven-filled. Love this! God bless your home.

Love these realistic and healthy ideas! Thank you so much ❤❤

As a snack, I love to take a medium hard boiled egg, smash it and mix it with crushed peanuts, seeds, other nuts and some soy sauce. Sometimes I also add chilli, but obviously kids would probably prefer it without being spicy. It's truly wonderful, and I like it because I don't enjoy the taste of egg just by itself.

This is one of the most beautiful things I've watched today. ❤ keep up the great work mama!!❤

Thanks! So helpful and I really resonate with your viewpoints on tge health and money cost of store bought snacks are compared to homemade Plus i was JUST thinking i needed a raw chocolate milk recipe

I like smoothie, frozen fruit, dollop of yogurt and a little milk blended. I freeze the ripe bananas in Ziploc, put in freezer and use them to add as a sweetener.

I made your muffin recipe and my whole family loved them! I will definitely be making these regularly. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!

The recipes were yummy. Your lifestyle is nothing I would ever want to live this way but I appreciate you sharing.

I clicked that subscribe as soon as I heard your daughter doing her memory verses in the background ❤️🙏🏾

Wow living the dream life.. also carrying 2 kids n working.. wow.. N having kids huddle near u when cooking..watching helping n learning..so sweet..reminded how I was As a child.. always arond parents when they r cooking 😅

We do fruit sauce, granola, muffins, bread, canned fruit. Granola with half butter half maple syrup, mixed into whatever you like in your granola until wet gravel consistency and baked is my favorite

Your life looks like Jean Liedloff's continuum concept in action. So wonderful. Your video was in my youtube feed today. I love those healthy snack ideas! Love from Germany

I love making chocolate chia pudding! It’s super easy and delicious and nutritious!

Oh my goodness! So many cool gadgets in your kitchen! Where did you get your compost bucket? And do you grease the silicone muffin liners? Or do the muffins just come out like that? I would prefer to use my cast iron muffin pans, but they are more narrow than the regular muffin pans. Greasing them is a pain. But then again, I have to grease my other if I use it, too. The almonds look so delicious! Can I use raw almonds? Or do they need to be roasted? I would imagine I could use pecans as well, right? I love your wooden measuring cups! Where did you get those? I chuckled when you licked your jar of milk. I was just imagining all the people who would comment. LOL Love your channel! I am trying to get rid of store bought snacks. I do buy organic tortilla chips for snacking. We buy grass fed beef sticks. Usually, when the kids are hungry, we do fruit, nuts, toast, leftover breakfast, yogurt, and yes, lara bars. You have given great ideas.

Some homemade snacks we love are yogurt, granola bars, and protein balls. Can’t wait to try your spiced almonds! Thanks!

Love these ideas! I need to be better about making things ahead of time! We love muffins, oatmeal cups, cookies, fruit/veggies-dried and fresh, cheese, and hard boiled eggs and the occasional medicine cup of chocolate chips!

Thank you for your great snack recipes! So helpful!

Baskets would help with your organization

just made the almond snack and it's delicious. thank you. Glad I found your channel today.

Love your videos! It’s so inspiring to see you and your family living so purposefully and with awareness of what you’re consuming! 😊 I aspire to achieve this for my own family, but definitely have a long way to go. 😅

You could swap coconut sugar for the cane sugar when making your chocolate milk. whenever we're making anything chocolate be it milk or ice cream we use coconut sugar instead. It's delicious and better for you than cane sugar. and i second the raw cacao powder recommendation.

Love this! Thank you ❤

Thanks for the lovely video! A favourite in our house is home made granola. It's super easy to make, it's healthy and it tastes much better than any store bought one.

They all look delicious, thank you for sharing these!

I like having homemade granola on hand. You can pack it in a small container to go - or put it on top of yogurt for a snack - it keeps a long time in a glass jar. My mom always said grab a carrot or an apple if you’re hungry. We very rarely had purchased snacks but like your kids 3 square meals a day

I love your kitchen! Great video.

I’m so glad I came across your channel!

Love your videos! Will try all these snacks even though my 2 kids are now in their 40s. I also love making chocolate milk. Love how you licked the milk jar. :) So real...God bless you and your beautiful family.

So much value in this video! ❤

Ive been making homemade sourdough granola bars lately and i just love them! And you can changebthe recipe up a bit each time.

I have the same aga. Same color. Love it and your show too.

When my children where young I also, made sweet breads, and all juice frozen treats.

Love this..beautiful family and can I say beautiful cows❤❤❤ I love your snacks.

I usually just do saltine crackers or fruit with a cup of milk. I might try the gummies since my MIL give us so much grape and apple juice each year. I don't like buying small packaged snacks due to the amount of waste it creates. Thanks for the ideas!

Thanks lovely tips - really interested what your salad breakfast lunch and Dinner mostly comprise of - you have beautiful family❤️

My children are very similar to the ones you described in the beginning of this video. I loved Hearing how your family eats. I am wondering where I should even start? My children live on snacks 😩

When peeling eggs, use a teaspoon. Crack it and get the spoon under the shell and just roll around, comes off in one go. It’s easier when you let it cool down or put in cold water but works even when warm.

Thank you for sharing these ideas! Can’t wait to make the muffins with my son 😄

You have an Aga cooker! Awesome!

I make weekly: boiled eggs in instant pot, energy balls, trail mix, Greek yogurt, almond milk, vegan muffins, and smoothies and hummus in my Nutribullet.

RDH here- yes it’s the simple car by snacks and the act of constantly snacking- meals and filling the belly with fat and protein makes a huge difference

Maple syrup taste good in chocolate milk too. My daughter loves that.

This is the first time I watched your You Tube video. I loved it, thank you for your recipe ideas. My Bybel study friends enjoy it, when I stuff fresh Majool Dates with almond paste and 2 almonds, each. You can omit the almond paste if you like. Or make Date, cocao powder and coconut oil fudge. You can roll the fudge blocks into balls, adding orange peel, chopped nuts, dried fruit, seeds, oats or fine coconut.

Just found your channel. Looking forward to learning a more healthy way of living. We have six kids and have way to much processed food in our home. Our goal is to weed it out and make more homemade from scratch healthy food. It is a big task from what I have been use to but I am ready for the change.❤

Amazing tips! Also, I am so enamored of your stove/oven - I want an Aga!!

We make homemade air popper popcorn which is healthy and inexpensive to make. I also make homemade granola bars which are healthy and packed with protein.

Our dentist told us the same thing! I absolutely loved this video. This is the first time I’ve seen one of your videos and I’m excited to watch more!! Do you have a milk you suggest if we don’t have a cow? 😂 I got migraines from dairy growing up, so I’ve majorly limited it. But I think if I had the right kind of milk, maybe I would be ok.
