Easy Homemade Snacks From Scratch

Hi, I just found your channel today. I love that there are more parents doing things from scratch! Do you also make dehydrated fruit roll-ups? I used to make my own fruit roll ups that my kids loved. I liked knowing what my children were eating and made sure that what they got was a lot healthier than anything you could ever buy from the supermarket! My favorite was the look on another parent's face when they would ask me... how much sugar I put in and I would tell them... none! Lol

Im 61 and live in Canada. My mom baked daily for our family of 7. We never over ate or binged. Mom cooked the best healthy meals as well. She made everything from scratch. I followed the example she set. All Stacy is doing here is going back to how things used to be done before grocery stores carried everything. She's setting an amazing example of self-sufficiency for her kids. I know kids who don't have a clue where the meat, fish, poultry, fruits and vegetables in the grocery stores come from. They teach kids in school how to read the product information because in many families this isn't explained to them. The food Stacy is making for her family is healthier than store bought even if she includes chocolate chips😊 I've watched many of her videos and she's leading her family by example. I taught my boys the same way. Excellent way to grow up!

I’m 67 and grew up in South Central Kentucky. My Mom made all of our snacks such as potato chips and condiments such as ketchup, meals and luscious desserts from scratch. I confess that as a kid I longed for store bought “normal” snacks and food that my friends had such as Pop Tarts, Lays Potato Chips, Coca-Cola etc. I didn’t know how blessed I was.

[@alexisg7644]

I didn’t realize how fortunate I was either. I was a farm kid and I was fed mostly organic stuff grown on the farm. Probably the most ridiculous thing I was jealous of were kids in grocery stores who had cheese whiz in their cart.

I am happy to find you. I grew up in India, we rarely ate snacks and never ate out. I recall eating out twice in my life (before I went to college), once during a move, and second time when we celebrated a rich friend’s birthday. We ate seasonal fruits and grains (yes, grains are seasonal too). Now I am raising my kids in the USA, and they don’t understand what a good hungry stomach feels like, they don’t want to eat nutritious delicious food because they are full from easily available junk food everywhere. Your video is an inspiration to keep working hard to teach kids how nourishing and tasty snacks can be. I always have lara bars in my freezer and fridge, also have smoothie popscicles, frozen fruit, banana bread. Bread and butter is my go to snack too.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

I love your perspective! 👏

[@calisingh7978]

My husband ate fast food from dhaba stalls often when he was a teen in India as he was a bottomless pit. He mom would cook 16/17 chapati for him at one time and she would finally cut him off and threaten to beat him. We are mixed and feed our kids only home food for the most part, of the mom is out of the home that’s a problem, normally why the kids start eating bad. Also, our littles little Indian spice but not hot n heavy so I make a little different tarka, chutney or pickle to add more spice for the grown ups. Using our green chilies from the garden makes a big difference too as the red chili powder gives us stomach aches like it has chemical or gmo. I notice they spray paint the cardomon green from Indian too so I am ordering my own plants to grow myself.

[@peroxisome1]

@@calisingh7978 you are right, once mom is working out of the house, kids start eating bad. I lived in very rural India (15 years ago) so I didn’t not experience adulterated food but I have heard stories of fake colors in vegetables and spices. Growing your own food as much as you can is the best. I like the idea of adding spice for adults using tarka, chutney/achaar, I will try this trick.

Don't feel inadequate. We all have our unique life situations. i personally know that I'll never make any of that stuff she's making, no way! I can though simplify snacks to fruit, cheese, the like.

[@3810-dj4qz]

Not sure what you mean about in the past Americans didnt snack. Everyone did snack, but it wasnt processed snacks, it was more like fruit. I grew up very poor (a long time ago) where extra food was not always around in the house, but I still snacked daily. It was called picking fruit from the trees. I ate oranges, pomegranates, plums, avocados, used the lemons I picked and squeezed them over the other fruit and put a bit of salt, YUM! So running in the hills all day eating fruit from any tree I could find, I never felt hungry. Snacked all day!

[@millennialodyssey5956]

You don't seem to know how expensive fruit was then and not every State had fruit trees. Not everything could be shipped everywhere especially before the railroad. But even when the railroad was introduced not every fruit could survive the train rides especially in the summer months. Maybe some wild berries were around but not much to snack on back then depending on where settlers lived. There were nut trees but again that depends on where you live. And you don't make much sense saying you were poor and had very little food in the house then say you snacked all day and was never hungry 🤔 you were not very poor then.

And India has one of the highest levels of type 2 diabetes, otherwise known as the diabetes capital of the world. Cooking from scratch doesn't mean it's a healthy diet (high carbohydrate and plenty of processed snacks in cities)

[@kermitandmisspiggyb]

It’s normal in my house and my mom cooked from scratch. My parents were raised in the country and all but one sibling of mom’s cooked from scratch and my grandmother cooked like she was feeding an army. Everything was fresh from the garden or home canned or frozen. I miss my grandma and her cooking. I think when women started working all that got left behind. Personally I think it was the worst thing for society but I also understand why women went to work.

[@OrcaLights]

I’m 21 and living in America. Growing up my mother rarely made anything from scratch, and when she did actually cook something it was by adding store-bought canned and processed foods in a pot and then heating it up. But usually, it was boxed macaroni with store bought hotdogs, or frozen meals. I love my mother dearly and I know she was very busy and tired when we were children because me dad didn’t help her, so she was doing the best we could, but now that I’m grown with my own child I crave homemade from-scratch foods. My husband and I have been working on learning how to make everything from scratch and it’s so rewarding.

[@vickyannpaintingwithoils]

The fantastic use of spices and herbs and wonderful combinations in Indian food is so delicious!

[@swildingb]

What % of working professionals in India can afford at home cooks though or have other family members helping with household cooking or childcare? I can only speak for the US but it’s rare that any parent has anyone else helping with anything including cooking. The parents are on their own. I’d love to cook from scratch more but I have no time between work and kids. When they are older hopefully I can prioritize it

[@empowermentmomma440]

I only have 5 kids and I struggle to just make dinner each night! 😅 I love all these ideas, and I'm super impressed that you have the ability to make 5 or so snacks, homeschool, AND clean all in the same day! 🤯 But I guess it helps that you have extra help. My husband works all day and my kids are usually busy with chores either around the house or homestead, or homeschooling. By the time they are done they just want to relax. Occasionally they might help me with dinner, but they aren't really into making extra snacks too much. I'd be trying to do it all myself with a clingy toddler fussing at my feet the whole time while also micromanaging the other 4 making sure they stay on task! 🥴😮‍💨

I only eat 2 larger meals with no snacking(intermittent fasting 18/5). Some of my children don't snack(were animal based eaters).

[@hishers4535]

Children's stomachs aren't very big... there is nothing wrong with children who are "grazers" and eat small amounts throughout the day, when their bodies are hungry.

[@Ayverie4]

That's why babies have to eat 8-12 times a day. Small tummies. And they are growing. Kids do need to eat more frequently than adults. I used to feel so hungry as a kid between meals, but I'm sure my blood sugar was all out of wack.

[@jessicamcgill6565]

When my kids were young, I would offer fruit or carrots and if they refused, then I knew it wasn’t true hunger, but merely cravings that was promoting them to ask for food. True hunger will cause healthy food to taste amazing! I try to incorporate this into my nanny job with some exceptions.

[@amberkern2609]

Wow, super mom. We have four little boys and we try very hard to avoid processed sugar, gluten and dairy.

Thank you for sharing about not daily snacking!! We had to cut out snacks as our toddlers grew into preschoolers/kindergarteners because we found they were not eating their full, well-rounded meals, but rather just waiting for their snacks (fruit, crackers, etc). For us it was the importance of 3 square meals vs intermittent snacking throughout the day. I know there's evidence to support both digestive arguments, but we went with what feels best to us.

Well of course it does... the children and adults eat a lot when they are very hungry. However, that's not really teaching very healthy eating habits.

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Absolutely correct. I didn’t know one friend who was heavy or overweight. Ate breakfast, lunch and dinner. No snack after school. We immediately changed and went out to play. My parents didn’t have much money, and my mom baked almost every dessert we ate. No baking, no dessert. When dinner was over, no more eating. There wasn’t a question about this. It simply wasn’t thought of. And, almost everyone I knew lived the same way.

[@NormieNeko]

One caveat - people walked and biked regularly. I'm much younger, but I've been trying to understand the obesity epidemic in the US. Besides the snacking, dessert for breakfast or lunch, and calorie-laden drinks all day, few people surpass 5000 steps per day. I'm currently staying at a farmhouse without farming nor tending to animals, and I still log in at least 10,000 steps every day (often more, up to 14,000 steps). I even stopped my daily "formal" workout routine because my daily life burns more calories nowadays. Before this living situation, I was totaling about 6000 steps during the cooler months and closer to 8000 steps during the warm months. I still snack 2-3 times per day (including a beer or mixed drink about every 1-2 days), but I honestly can't gain weight because I have small meals as well. I also drink water all day long. It's amazing. The answer to the weight gain problem is to move more. Eating smaller portions and drinking mostly water helps. We were meant to exercise all day long like our ancestors who traveled often as hunter-gatherer packs or worked the land as farmers. Our bodies aren't meant to sit or stand still all day. Even a vehicle starts having issues if it sits parked for more than a month, so why wouldn't this apply to people?

[@hishers4535]

There are so many more reasons for obesity. Most of it isn't that people aren't moving, but the absolute nutrient-deficient food we are fed. Just look at other countries that done use the junk ingredients that we do. I am also a very busy and active person, but am overweight. Over 7K steps at just 4 pm and lots more to do today. I basically just drink water. However- I'm super happy for you that it's kept you fit! Just know that because it works for you doesn't mean it's the same for everyone. Being less active and eating snacks isn't causing obesity.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Thank you. I cook a lot, but what I don't often show here is that I'm not the only one in the kitchen. I definitely have a lot of help from my husband and kids.

[@Suzq21678]

I’d like to add you can make paleo banana/pumpkin/blueberry etc mini muffins and freeze them and they are a quick breakfast. You can also do this with pancakes. Typically I food process oatmeal for the grains. Another snack my toddler loves is raw, sea salted pumpkin seeds from Costco. They sell a huge bag that lasts forever!

[@whittplants8480]

I love these healthy homemade options instead of just fruit all the time. Thank you! We don't let our kids eat processed foods either, but I have run out of ideas. Can't wait to try these

[@kaleyjanenigh]

I'm getting major Farmhouse on Boone vibes from you! That's a huge compliment! 😊

[@naomiemoore5725]

Finally! Somebody that cooks! What people call "cooking" is just an assembly of canned and boxed items laden with salt, sugar and chemicals. I still cook for my bubble buddy group a spillover from the pandemic.

And filled with preservatives. Coloring. Excitotoxins

[@kellyblue]

I’ve no kids, but God help me, I’m a snacker, but my doc told me earlier this year my A1C is heading towards pre diabetic and I need to watch what I eat, I’m a pretty healthy eater at mealtime, I don’t drink juice or soda, but I find that through out the day, between meals I snack a lot, chocolate, cookies and chips, everything sweet and/or salty😭 I’m thankful my phone send me to you, I just sub and I’ll be making a few of these non processed snacks, the ball one I know will be my first try😍 thank you!

[@ZoeEfstathiouKombatsiaris]

we are a family of 8. Yesterday in an afternoon I manage to cook and prep: a cake, sausages and eggs with cabbage & carrot salad, meatball soup with veggies, burgers with rice and greek salad, and prep for today the minced meat for pastitsio and mousaka (greek dishes, one is similar to lasagna and the other is with eggplant and potatoes), plus I marinate the meat for tomorrow! :) For snacks my kids usually are having salami, cheese, and some seasonal veg or fruit. :)

[@momof2momof2]

Growing up in the 60s and 70s we didn't really snack . We ate 3 meals a day, and once in a great while we had home made popcorn while watching a family show on tv. As we got into our teens we did need a snack after school because we were growing so fast. Even now as an adult, snacking isn't much of a thing, usually only when we are very busy

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Yes! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤️

[@aishs2437]

Good work mom. I pray the GOD give you more strength and energy to do this .

The british used to have afternoon (high) tea to tide them over til dinner time

[@colettebishop2173]

Afternoon and high tea are two different things. Afternoon tea was things like toast, crumpets, maybe a light sandwich like cucumber and perhaps fruit cake or seed cake. (Modern Afternoon tea is all sorts of little cakes and savouries, you wouldn't eat a full evening meal after that and its more of a treat thing, mothers day, birthdays etc.). It was served in aristocratic households as the evening meal was served very late. High tea is a much heartier affair, typical on farms etc where people were working hard on the land all day. Served late afternoon or early evening you would get bread and butter, maybe boiled potatoes, cold cooked meat such as ham or tongue, boiled eggs, cheese,pickles, sometimes a cold cutting pie like pork,game or corned beef and potato,and probably a fruit pie or cake of some kind as well. You didn't get an evening meal after that. Maybe a slice of toast before bed, but farmers went to bed early as they had to get up and deal with milking, animal feeding etc. so usually nothing more after high tea.

[@bernadettemccarthyflahive5357]

Yeah, when I was a child (40 now) high tea in Ireland was bread and butter with cold meat, boiled egg, lettuce etc in summer, potato salad

[@NickeyVamp]

Thank you for this, I have 5 young ones at home and this is useful for me.. My kiddos are grazers and like to have a few snacks. Much appreciated.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

I’m so glad it was helpful!

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@claudettesteeves]

That was amazing! I just found your channel and I made farmers cheese because that’s what I was looking for this morning. I had goat milk so I used goat milk. We will see how it taste, I did watch all of your video on making snacks and I was very impressed to make some of these to have on hand for my grandkids thank you so much. Your videos are very well-made and simple to follow.

[@SharonHollidaySells]

Enjoyed watching your video, thank you for taking time to share with others. I am a major snacker... so... wanting to do better now that I have seen this. TY! Also, thank you @MoreThanFarmers for sharing the collaboration list so I could find this new channel.

[@ashleyspianoprogress1341]

This is going to be so helpful. I'm not looking to homestead but my son has severe allergies to eggs, dairy and nuts so packaged products are almost always off limits for us! As he starts to eat table food I'm definitely going to be needing new recipes!

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Junzar56]

I love making energetic snacks. Nuts, dates, figs, dried apricot, raisins or craisins,peanut butter or Al and butter, chia, ground flax, honey, oatmeal or 9 grain mix, sometimes cocoa, or coconut. You make balls and roll them in powdered milk, or sugar, or coconut,or crushed nuts…lots of options.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Sounds great!

[@mariamvictor8242]

God bless you.. Thank you so much.. A big kiss to the cute baby.. I loved this way if carrying him.. The following is for you , me & every mother.. the Pediatrician TOLD US..THAT BABY'S HEAD MUST BE KEPT SUPPORTED ALL THE TIME ON OUR ARM AS LONG AS HIS IS IN THIS AGE.. That's why the way you carry him while his head is supported by the cloth is much better than what we do.. BUT WE ALL SHOULD LIMIT THE DURATION WE CARRY OUR BABIES IN FRONT OF US..AS THEY NEED THEIR BACK SUPPORTED ON OUR ARM WHEN THEY ARE VERY LITTLE LIKE THIS . Also take care for your own safety regarding your back while you are carrying the baby ''s weight in front of you...your fingers while using the kitchen objects. . Keep both of you away from the oven. . Love you. .Thank you again for these wonderful snacks. ... It was really very kind of you. .❤

Nice job! I recently started baking snacks in bigger perpotions, especially trying to be Sunday morning ready,( I have 7 children) and recently had a recipe for oatmeal raisin cookie bars that I could substitute with honey and half wheat, perfect for a dig out of the freezer, warm up and everyone is satisfied,kind of deal ! Love all the good ideas !

[@Lavenderrose73]

I'm not married and I have no children of my own, but I'm out a lot and I have a tendency to go where I have to without having breakfast. (NOT an early riser!) Ever since I got my instant pot, I have enjoyed making medium or soft boiled eggs so much more, and I'll throw those in the fridge and have them later. Even soft-boiled eggs that are pulled out of the refrigerator are just awesome because I love the yolks runny! Throw a couple in my purse along with a fruit roll and the beef stick for church because my ride to church has to be there a lot earlier than I have to, so I have time to sit and eat those things once I get there. And that's just one example in my case! 😊☕️

[@ksierra4444]

Love this video! Thank you! We don't really have a garden but we spend a fortune on berries and fruit and organic veggies. We use those as snacks if needed. I have 4 kiddos and my 3 year old is definitely going through a hungry phase! I need to make some of these recipes for the occasional snacks when hiking on on days of extra hangry kids!

[@gamingwithfrodo]

Grow a pair of blueberry plants/bushes (in pots, if needed) and a bunch of strawberries. It’s so easy. They will give you the most delicious, chemical-free fruit for years and years for almost free, and kids LOVE hunting for the berries! It changed our perspective.

[@t2motherhood585]

First of all, your baby is literally the cutest baby!!!! I loved all of this but definitely don’t have the time to do all of that. I wish we had a huge garden for my kids to forage in! I would call that snacking. I’m sure it’s different in winter for them though. We just had to downsize our space while homeschooling and I’m trying to figure out how to go back to natural cooking like I use to while unpacking and homeschooling.

[@ZeroWasteFamily]

Great video. Homemade snacks are the best.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Thank you! Totally agree! ❤️

[@bowenbabe7263]

You are amazing! The potato chips are so much work! Thanks for sharing❤

[@louonUT]

you are so right young lady.. snacking was not a thing when i was a child.

[@annababcock3948]

Very impressive! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Thanks for watching!

[@krankywitch]

I’m in Australia, my parents were from the UK and we were a family of 10. We ‘snacked’ as soon as we got home from school because we were active all day 60+ years ago, and needed refuelling by 3pm. Our ‘snacks’ were fresh fruit in season, or fruit tarts/pies made from home preserved fruits. I was a teenager before I tasted a sugar lolly (candy) and in my 20’s when I first ate a salty processed snack. I’d still rather have a piece of fruit or a homemade fruit tart - my palate and preferences were trained by my childhood foods. I still need a fuel top up at 3pm 😊

[@GraceandFranz]

Thank you for sharing this. I’m kind of confused reading these comments about how people didn’t have snacks growing up. Are they comparing to high amounts of packaged snacks and have a narrow definition of snack? Are these people just not eating for 4-7 hours at a time? With no tea or fruit? I wouldn’t have gotten through the day as a child without some fruit, veggies, nuts, biscuits or toast after school and at morning tea. Especially as a child. Children have little stomachs and are outputting so much energy physically and mentally!

[@nicolecornejo108]

Wow! you are incredible!! thank you so much for sharing! You go, Mama!

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Thanks, you're so sweet!

Wow momma! you are amazing. thank you for the fun ideas I can do for and with my kids. you are doing such a great job.

[@servantrose]

these were awesome and simple. a few I saw before but some new ones too. I can't get completely away from the store but this helps us stay closer to 80% natural/homemade

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’m definitely enjoying these precious baby days. ❤️

[@elisabethdaswani5110]

I absolutely love these and I love that you're baking snacks from home. I make different kinds of oat snacks with maple syrup for my toddler as I refuse to spend money on hyper processed alternatives that don't even taste as good. I'm definitely going to try those jam bars - such good inspiration!

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Thank you, you will love them!

[@batcat16]

Great job with decluttering. Lived how you involved your child so much. We too have lots of Lego. I have some kids that like to make kit and keep it together and some that like to just use their imagination and make whatever they want so we have different solutions. Large plastic coloured tub from Kmart for sets still in packets or in containers and drawstring bag for loose Lego. Thanks for your video - love watching your content. Mum of 4 from Melbourne, Australia😊

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

[@jackiedjie161]

Your baby is cute 😍 Glad I found you! We have 6 kiddos and love cooking from scratch!

[@amywert8088]

You can make the no-bake cookie balls without any kind of blender, just stirring by hand. You may need to add more sticky stuff if there is too much dry at the bottom of the mixing bowl until you get the hang of it, I never had a blender and made them often for my kids.

[@THEKITCHENCEO11]

I love this post. I have seen many. There is some uniqueness. Very straightforward and simple.
