Hello NEWEST FRIEND!😁 At 61, disabled, with a 63 yr old hubby who broke his body doing a lifetime of physical labor...I too utilize food pantries at least monthly, especially with current food prices. Screw those who don't understand or approve. I LOVE your meal choice. I would have done the same thing. Keep utilizing ALL OPTIONS for food! 😉 Have a blessed and beautiful day. LUCRETIA 🇺🇸

Girl I’m old enough to be your grandmother (64) n I learn from you every video 😊

I sincerely appreciate your upbeat, thankful attitude. It's a joy to be able to share when we have extra, and a blessing to be on the receiving end when needed. 😊

Bitters and soda will settle your tummy. I use it in my old fashioned, soak a sugar cube and use with Champs. use with soup, pour over ice cream. use with ginger ale, spk water or soda water for tummy issues. a very distinct taste. Every bartender has on their bar.

Angostura bitters go great in old fashions! And Bonito flakes are good to make broths with or to garnish meals...

How do you not have a million subscribers? I just subbed and can't wait to follow you on your exciting journey! You are going places!

The flakes can be used in miso soup or ramen. Bitters you can put a few drops in whip cream to add a great flavor or put a few drops in a fruit salad…just a couple ides on both and yes I have both lol

Pam says- ANGOSTURA aromatic bitters were first produced as a medicinal tincture designed to alleviate stomach ailments. It can be added to soups and stews to give a different kick, like Worcestershire sauce. Try it in a little water to test the flavor. Also can be added to hot teas.

Can you make a video talking more about the food bank? What are the qualifications? Do you provide documentation? I have never done it.. but it would be very helpful for some local families that I know!

Bonito flakes are dried fish and is used in Japanese cooking to make stock for soups and also a garnish. strain the left over bonito flakes out of the stock before use and what your left with is a delicious Umami broth. when used as a garnish it dances as the steam from the warm food hits it

Hey, thanks for reminding me; I wanted to get a package of English muffins out of the freezer. I've never seen the French toast kind either, sounds good. I'm into eating egg and bacon or sausage on muffins here lately, and I always use some mayo on mine. Looks like a really good haul. I now know a little bit more about those bitters since I just read about them on The House of Angostura website - "decreases the harshness of alcohol and cleanses the palate." Okay. I see the guy was German but moved to Angostura, Venzuela. How bout that? My great uncle, a German, way back in the 60s had a pretty nice bar in his basement and had stuff like that, probably just for show in his case. He wasn't much of a drinker himself but had a nice collection of beer steins from Germany. My auntie would have a few on the holidays. He fixed mainly strawberry daiquiris or whiskey sours for the ladies at Christmastime. More than you ever wanted to know, but thanks much for some funny childhood memories! Lol.

That breakfast muffin looked delicious !! Love watching !!

Bonito flakes are used to add a savory fish flavor to lots of foods, try them in soups or add to scrambled eggs.

Mayo on sandwiches is the best love it

Bitters may be used in drinks occasionally but it's super good for cramps! A life saver, splash in ginger ale and you will feel better.

Hi Mama there are also french toast bagels at Aldi's. Your breakfast sandwiches looked delicious

Try the couscous with chicken broth to cook it in, then I add any leftovers to it, meat ,veggies, whatever you need to use up.

That coffee is SO good!! One thing we splurge on when we grocery shop is starbucks coffee. I got their peppermint mocha today. It's so yummy!

Coffee is still good for awhile if not opened I was just introduced to Boba fruit really like that

I cook the beef cubes in the crockpot until fork tender. I remove from the water or stock and put into a bowl. I pour beef gravy from a jar, or a can or make your own with the stock. Make mash potatoes and spoon the beef cubes and gravy over the potatoes. Kid will love it.

Angostura Bitters is made in my country Trinidad and Tobago and we use it in drinks and as a seasoning for meats.

That bread looks good. 👍 I love breakfast sandwiches.

Fish soup maybe with ramen for bonito flakes? Never seen those. Couscous is delicious, just treat like rice.

I just subscribed to your channel and I'm checking out your other videos....im making breakfast as well, and just as I get into watching your video lol I realize we're making the same exact breakfast 😄...homemade English muffin breakfast sandwiches (and yes...they're sooo much better than McDonald's) 💗

When I get my hands on a stalk of celery, it gets cleaned, cut up, and what's chopped gets put into a plastic bag and frozen (does not need any processing and is good for stews or soups). I save the end of the stalk, slice off the dirty end and freeze to use when making chicken broth. I have also scrubbed carrots well, save and freeze the peelings, also use in making broth. Makes me feel good about what I used to compost. Retired now, so have the time. Also will make "breakfast sausage" with plain ground pork. I add 3/4 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of thyme, and just under 1 tsp. Of ground sage, black pepper and a little cayenne to 1-1 1/4 lb of ground pork. It's A much requested recipe in my house.

Sweet potato pie is yum. Bake tell soft take and clean out potatoes in a bowl to mash well then treat that as pumpkin paste and use all pumpkin ingredients and you can do carrots the same but boil tell soft to mash. We make every harvest for the holidays. Don't tell people they will always ask for more and ask you to do it every year.

Coucous is delish if you steam it and put butter and salt in it. Serve it like you would rice.

Bonito flakes and kombu make the base of miso soup, im sure someone has already mentioned that by now though lol my husband makes a delicious miso soup every month for us so we get bonito flakes regularly from amazon.

Both bonito flakes and aromatic bitters are staples in my pantry. Both ingredients can add an intense savory flavor to recipes. Bitters are made of orange peel and spices. @marions kitchen has some great recipes for both. She was sponsored by Angostura bitters and used them in savory Vietnamese style recipes.

Good morning..So glad I found your channel because you cook just like me...not perfect but get the job done!!Lol!

Great haul! Bitters is a staple in cocktails-I use angostura in my old fashioned🥃🤤😋 Love couscous! It’s so fun to get things we’ve never tried before and cook outside the box! We usually give all of our vegan stuff(butter) to one friend and our gluten free stuff to another- not that we wouldn’t use it but it’s very expensive and really helps out those friends who are on restricted diets!

You can throw the kale as is in the freezer for smoothies later! Hey Montana momma!!! Great haul!

The breakfast sandwiches are great. I tend to mix the eggs in with the sausage for easier cooking. Nice food from the pantry.

Couscous is morracan, it is pasta in small pieces, yummy!!

Hello how are you doing hope your doing great Almond milk is a really good milk that's all I drink can't have dairy so that and oat milk are my two choices in drinking milk those Lara bars are really good monk fruit is so yummy.

I've never used Bonita flakes but I've seen them used by chefs on you tube. They use them in the broth for ramen and pho.

Coffee doesn't expire fore either😄,you really score❤️d with that coffee ,that brand is expensive.

Bitters is used to make cocktails a good cocktail to make with bitters is old fashioned

When you cook you make me so hungry Girl

You put bitters around the rim . Dark liquid . If for drinks you use lemon and lime + soda in gin. And use a slice of lime or lemon. Or use for sparking water or such . Keep it because you would be amazed.

Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.

I am a new subscriber. If you have an upset stomach you can put about 4 drops of bitters in water or seltzer and it will soothe it.

Just found your channel! Hello from your old area! STL

The bonito flakes are good in pho noodle bowl

Coffee last for a very long time

Wonder if you could make a tuna casserole with those tuna flakes? Maybe add a little extra liquid since the fish is dried….

I find these videos Very Helpful❤️

Miyokos plant based butter (vegan) is wonderful!

I love maple sausage. Your sandwiches looked good. Nice food haul. You always get very nice meat.

You’re so cute, I really enjoyed stumbling across this!

I’ve seen a lot of Japanese cooking videos where they use bonito flakes on rice (and I think in ramen?) I absolutely cannot stand anything that lives in water, lol…not allergic, but, seriously, I will literally throw up just smelling any fish/shellfish…don’t know why, always have been that way since I was a little kid. But, if you like fish, I think it’s kind of a seasoning? Love The Cheesecake Factory, and yes, we always ask for extra brown bread, lol…and order way too much food (that winds up coming home as lots of leftovers, lol.) Check out southern recipes for Sweet Potato Pie, southerners know how to cook, and Sweet Potato Pie is a thing! (Husband is southern.) Hope the winter isn’t too hard in Montana…it’s cold enough where I am and I’m waaayyy further south!

Great breakfast, great video

I don't like runny eggs either. I get nauseous just smelling them

Aromatic bitters are used as a flavoring agent. I use them like I would use an extract.

Honey I go to free store and a church. Every now and then . It's there t9 help us. Plus I get towels and sheets and clothes. Nothing wrong with it. Is there. Love your recipes

Hello Carlina we will be having breakfast sandwiches with sausage for breakfast tomorrow. We usually have bacon sandwiches on Saturday morning breakfast but bacon for my family we need a pound and a half $8 is getting to pricey for my budget so we are doing bacon sandwiches 2 times a month and breakfast sandwiches 2 times constantly adjusting our meal plan to fit the budget.

Bonito flakes are expensive.

Omg the Mayo, ya had me but then had to zap it with some mayo...pork roll egg n cheese (very cheap but very good)

Bitters will be great for digestion. The alcohol content you can think of like an extract like vanilla extract...

This is amazing! But I have a question. I have heard that people go to trash cans at different places ( like restaurants or grocery stores) and then donate the food or other items, from the trash cans, to food banks. Does that make you nervous? If you knew for fact that the food you get was from the garbage, would you eat it?

Almond milk is great in smoothies! 😊

i just heard you say you used to live in St.Louis,that is where I live.small world!

The bitters are good for upset stomachs for adults. I think you mix it with sparkling water. Ppl swear by it.

I’m going to ask and I’m not trying to be rude but how are you homesteading if you are using the food bank instead of harvesting yourself. I’m disabled so I thought I couldn’t homestead if I used outside help

Stew meat Wow 20.25 for the package very spendy Goodness

Do u have any recipes for canned pork from food bank?

Aromatic bitters are to put a few drops when cooking not t drink that's maybe why you got it from the food ban .

I ate my package of crumpets with cheese. I ate it in one day . Only get six but they are small.

I'm from the Netherlands but loved your video! The food bank in the US seems great? So everyone until a certain amount of income can go and get food there?

Delsym is the best cough med for colds!!!

Be careful with that sweetener. Some sugar alcohol sweeteners are poisonous for dogs. Also, not quite as important as the Dog’s life, some of them cause gastric distress (if you know what I mean) in large quantities.

1:47 I understand people needing to use food banks as we have had to in the past as my mum is disabled, BUT why didn't you leave the almond milk for someone else if you already have 2 cartons worth of milk? We don't drink it, so I would rather give it to someone who has a allergy to dairy milk, that could be the difference between them getting milk or not. In the UK we have limits on how much you can take, so everyone gets something. I actually think its a little greedy. Personally I wouldn't take a milk that I don't drink and when I have plenty more, that's just me though.

Is that where you was born St Louis? And girl I will never say anything to any mom not doing their dishes cuz it seems like they just never end !! especially you ain't gotta dishwasher and you still do them by hand like me I do dishes so so much I just can't keep up with it sometimes ! ❤️

Made me hungry

my neice and her husband lives in St.Charles,I live in South County

Back

good video

Do you have a recipe how to can that stew meat? Xx

No offense but why not leave the oat butter (non dairy) for individuals who are lactose intolerant and or lactose intolerant

So some interesting info I learned this year, Canola is actually considered to be a healthier oil. It's lower in saturated fats & has been proven to reduce blood LDL cholesterol levels & even heart disease when used in moderation & especially if you replace tallow or other lards when cooking but it's actually pretty nutrient rich as well so great as an alternative in dressings.

I absolutely love your videos, but please be careful adding raw sausage with your cooked sausage especially since it's pork. I would not want y'all getting sick. 🥰

Old bartender trick for hiccups wedge lime or lemon splash bitters on it suck and bite.swallow it hiccups gone

go ask lovely mimi how to use that fish stuff she is Asian she will tell you. she cooks too

I'm just curious where you live...

mostly videos like this where people are bragging about the free stuff makes me want to NOT donate again to a food bank.....

That sausage Doesn't look Done!
