Food Bank Haul 2/8/22 - They Weren't Able to Portion THIS?? 

Thanks for the info!

Yes those darn kids throw a wrench in our plans sometimes! That sounds like a good thing to try next time I have one! Thanks Mary Jo!

It really does!

It was so amazing to receive it!

Yes! Much better now! Weather can play a big part of it!

Yes, I really do!! Thank you!

Aw I'm so happy to hear that!! When food banks have a great system in place, the benefits they can provide for the community are un comparable!

Wow!! That's a lot of wings!!

Oh thanks for that tip!!

So close! Ahhh!!!

Oh thank you for the tip! Never too late for advice on conquering a mirgraine! Thank you!

Oh sounds delicious! Thanks!

Thank you for that tip!!

Thank you for that tip!

Thank you Jen!

Oh thank you for sharing!

Wow!!! That sounds incredible thank you for sharing!

Thank for all those tips!! I've notice one of my sons already complaining of headaches. Only every once in a while though, not like monthly or anything. But I'll keep a closer eye on him!

That's one of the ways I'm going to preserve the bacon! So easy to pull out of the freezer and add to any dish! Thanks for the suggestion!

This is what I do with bacon. On a smaller scale though.

oh...never heard of that! Great idea! Thank you!

Welcome! Thanks for being here! It really was! So. Much. Bacon! Haha

Yay! Thank you! I'm glad you did as well!

Thank you!

Thanks! Bacon for the year!! Haha

Thank you for the advice!!

Aw im sorry to hear that! When I lived in Missouri they didn't have the best food banks either. Thanks for the advice on the mirgraine! I really appreciate that!

Good advice! Thank you!

Yes you can! I actually did that with some of the bacon! So convenient to have in your freezer.

Thank you! Especially for the migraine tips! I really appreciate it!

That it was!!

I appreciate that! I'm much better now. Seems to always take a couple of days to recover from them! Thanks for your support!

Thank you!

Sounds so good! Thanks for sharing!!

Oh yay! Thank you for the support!

That they do my friend!

I am impressed with them as well! They always have such a good variety and high quality of food! I'm very lucky to be able to pick up from there! Mirgraines are the worst indeed! Happy to be feeling better and that my hubby can take over for me when I get them. I don't know what I would do without him!

I really did! Bacon for DDAAAYYYYSSS! I couldn't believe it when I saw it there, I was like I can take this whole thing...they said yes!! Score!!

@@mamabairds 🤣😂I would have said the same! All of it is mine? Hell yeah!

Great idea!

You will have the best smelling house in the neighborhood.

@@alinewright1093 That's what I'm talking about! Best way to make friends! Haha

It really is! It was so amazing to have over the summer and now for school snacks!

Thank you so much!!

Oh awesome! I haven't heard of using music to beat them! Thanks so much! I'll be sure to do that next time!

Sounds like you have a great mama! Thanks for sharing your tricks to getting rid of a migraine!

Start defrosting it a little and as soon as you can separate it then you can switch to freezer bags or vacuum sealer or whatever and then put back in the freezer. I've done that before and never had an issue

@@mamabairds I'm very blessed to have amazing parents and my mommy taught my husband how to help with my migraines too. I don't get them super often but when I do, they're a doozy for sure!

I’m going to try this thanks.

Right?! This is an incredible food bank! I have never heard of someone getting a whole case of bacon! I was happy to share some with my family too!

Thanks! I didn't have that in these older ones, glad I got into doing that! I enjoy coming up with stuff to cook! Haha! It's a nice challenge!

That's a good idea! I have done the heat on my neck but not with cold on my head at the same time. Thanks for the suggestion!

@@mamabairdshands in an ice bath just as long as you can tolerate

Thank you so much! Thats awesome that you get to take home all the left overs! I'm thinking of starting to do that instead of the weekly hauls. I'm not sure yet! I swear nothing how to preserve and save food is a super power!

Oh awesome to know! I'll be doing that! I'm thinking of dicing some and freezing it portioned that way

I'll have to try that Tylenol. I usually use Exdrenien and sometimes even that doesn't help.

Yes those are defiantly a rip off. But some people don't mind paying for the convenience. Sounds like a plan on the bacon! I'll be doing a video on the different ways I'll be preserving it! Stay tuned! Thanks for commenting!

Thanks so much and welcome! Hope you are having a great weekend!

Yes it was amazing!

That's wonderful

Thanks for the suggestion!

Oh that sounds good! Can you can the jam?

@@mamabairds yes! I’ll share bid and recipe soon

That's a good idea on the bacon! It really was a good haul! I couldn't believe that bacon was there!!

I'm in Montana! And I 100% agree with you! I use to live in Missouri and their food banks were nothing like this! I'm very thankful!

Great idea!

I didn't know you could pressure can bacon! Good to know!

@@mamabairds Use pint size jars...I think 1 sleeve of bacon will fit into each jar...please post a video if you decide to do this...

check out Alaska Prepper...he shows how to do it.

@@Bewitched-bo9kx i watched how he did his the other day when you first commented! I saw another do one where she par baked it and then wrapped it and canned it in a pint jar. I think since I have so much bacon I'll try both ways to see which is better! And I'll definitely make a video to let you guys know how it goes! Thanks for the info!

@@mamabairds I'm trying to find the video I saw with canning raw bacon...will let you know who that was...saves time

Kids enjoyed them!

Thank you! 🤗

That's a good idea. I actually already have magnesium because I heard it was good for depression as well, but I haven't taken it in awhile. Thanks for the reminder to get back to taking it everyday!

Thanks for the suggestions about the migraine! I will look into those glasses! Isn't diet helpful in life. I am truly amazed at what we eat affects us and am working on eating better! I especially don't want this for my kids in their future and I know they do and eat what I do. So I'm on a mission to fix it. You do low carb don't you?

Yes, I do low carb. I had gestational diabetes with my last 3 babies and after my 3rd it changed to type 2. With a low carb diet I can keep my blood sugars in a totally normal range with no meds or side effects. Yeah! And bonus, I've lost about 30 pounds.

@@weepingwillowhomestead That's awesome! Diabetes is so rough. My mom has it and doesn't take care of it like she should. I'm sure I'll be next if I don't change my eating habits as well. But...I have been doing better. I kicked sugar out of my coffee and just do cream. Having small amounts of carbs and such. I appreciate you sharing your story with me!

Good to know! Thanks Lori!

What do you get a lot of?

I've never heard that before! I'll have to give it a try! Thanks Susie!!

I like Excedrin as well..sometimes I just don't get to it in time. Bleh. But feeling much better now! Thanks so much for the concern and advice!

I'll have to ask my dr about that! Thanks for sharing!!

I was able to portion it all! Good tips though!

that's what i would suggest

Great ideas! Thank you!

Church service in Spanish would be pretty interesting! Haha! I'm sorry you never get any meat at your food pantry. I'm very grateful for the one I go to and how they usually always have a good variety of meats there! Love me some Texas love! Have you canned bacon before? I'm definitely going to give it a try!

Yes! Thank you!

I will give your suggestions a try! They really are the worse. I haven't tried the peppermint trick yet, I appreciate you sharing your experiences and suggestions with me and I'm so happy you enjoy my channel!!

I'll have to look into that that! Thank you!!

@@mamabairds Effeor is hard to get off and it also makes you gain weight. If you miss one dose you are completely useles, the dizzyness is worse than the migraine.

Bacon for daaaaayyss! Haha

Thank you so much for that advice. My doctor mentioned that I don't get them often enough to need a prescription...dang it..haha. I'm sorry to hear you have fibromyalgia! That is an awful condition. I worked in a bakery and one of the cake decorators had it and was in constant pain!

I have nerve damage and fibromyalgia and have been on lyrica for 7 years. I lose my balance easily and my vision is blurry a few hours after taking it, but it certainly does help with the pain. Had to decide which was worse, so I decided to stay on it. Fibromyalgia is so painful and it’s a constant struggle. My husband had terrible migraines where he would vomit and sleep for days! After doctors prescribing pills after pills we went to a natural alternative clinic. He did a exam and said he wouldn’t touch him until he went and had X-rays done of his head and neck. He told him that he had a neck injury and that was what was causing them. My husband said he had never hurt his neck but then remembered he had fell backwards off a barstool at his sisters wedding. Not thinking he had injured his neck. But, scar tissue had formed in this area and that’s what he said was causing them. Sorry, long story🙈so he had a procedure called prolotherapy(sp)this is where they did a ton of saline injections into the area of the scar tissue. It helped with the compression that was causing the headaches. Believe it or not, he has had about 10 migraines in the last 20 years. Now, if his vision starts to get like tunnel vision, he takes a migraine med and lays down for a few hours and it seems to work before a migraine comes on. Just found your channel and love it! I love seeing what you come up with and wish I had someone I could cook for! I was a very young mom of 5 kids so they are out making their own lives but I miss cooking for a large family! Feeding people is my love language and look forward to family dinners♥️you have a beautiful family and I hope they appreciate the love you put into their meals🥰a lot of kids are eating fast food and frozen pizzas.

They really are! They have been better since I quit working, but they still pop up every now and again! Thanks!

Oh great to know! Thanks for sharing! I'm thinking of dicing some and freezing it that way

Oh good to know! I've never tried that before! Interesting that cured deli meats can give you a headache...

Oh yeah!! You got the right idea!

Yes thats the same thing!

@@mamabairds Oh okay ,thanks for the reply.

Good to know! Thanks!

Oh awesome! Thanks so much! Love London!!

Yes! I'm thinking of making a fire cider and it requires raw vinegar that has a mother! I might do that with the apple cider!

I use to get mine a lot more when I was working full time in a kitchen. Now I'm home full-time and get them a lot less often. Now I just blame the children! Haha. I wish there was a magic trick as well.

I've never heard of having to keep your vinegar in the fridge after opening it! I'll have to look into that! Thanks!

You don’t the regular stuff but the organic unfiltered stuff your supposed to refrigerate after you open it 🙂

@@ShelbyAsInCar1969 oh good to know! Thanks!

I have heard so much about those! My bday is coming up, think I'll get one to celebrate! Thanks for mentioning it and reminding me!

It's honestly the best decision I made so do it for you!

I may have to do that with the shot. They have been much better since I quit working, but one creeps up on me every now and again! Thanks for the love!
