LARGE FAMILY GROCERY HAULS Meal Plan + Meal Prep | Kielbasa Skillet, Chili, Cranberry Sauce & More!

[@lisafratusjerrier4382]

Try this Ribollita Yield: 4 servings 5 tablespoons olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 1 carrot, chopped 1 celery stalk, chopped 1 tablespoon minced garlic Salt and ground black pepper 2 cups cooked or canned cannellini beans 1 15-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes 4 cups vegetable stock or water 1 fresh rosemary sprig 1 fresh thyme sprig 1 pound chopped kale or escarole 4 large, thick slices whole-grain bread, toasted 1 small red onion, thinly sliced ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan Add to Your Grocery List Ingredient Substitution Guide Nutritional Information PREPARATION Step 1 Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large pot over medium heat. When it’s hot, add onion, carrot, celery and garlic; sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Step 2 Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Drain the beans; if they’re canned, rinse them as well. Add them to the pot along with tomatoes and their juices and stock, rosemary and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat so the soup bubbles steadily; cover and cook, stirring once or twice to break up the tomatoes, until the flavors meld, 15 to 20 minutes. Step 3 Fish out and discard rosemary and thyme stems, if you like, and stir in kale. Taste and adjust seasoning. Lay bread slices on top of the stew so they cover the top and overlap as little as possible. Scatter red onion slices over the top, drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with Parmesan. Step 4 Put the pot in the oven and bake until the bread, onions and cheese are browned and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. (If your pot fits under the broiler, you can also brown the top there.) Divide the soup and bread among 4 bowls and serve.

This sounds amazing! It never occurred to me to do this with the bread and onions. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us all. I’ll pin your efforts to the top!🌻🌻🌻🙌🏽

[@yvettebennett6170]

This sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing.

[@Marieb2899]

Your grocery hauls are my favorite! I love the balance that you bring. I cook from scratch and we buy mostly non GMO and organic. But you best believe we have hot dogs/Oreos/ chicken nuggets for a treat every once in a while. 😂

[@RowesRising]

Yes! I love the honesty 🙌🏽 I just found a stash of Oreos my kids and husband were trying to hide- I couldn’t figure out why my toddlers face was covered in black chocolate 🫣

Seriously when food is cooked from scratch any meal that comes together in less than an hour is considered quick and easy. I love how you "throw" food at the kids 😅. I do the same, it works. Could you share your cranberry sauce recipe in the future?? Thanks for sharing.

[@RowesRising]

Hi Frances!! Here’s a general recipe. Use more/less of any ingredients and it will be awesome. 12oz fresh cranberries 1/4- 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup juice or water 1 tsp cinnamon Simmer in a covered pot stirring occasionally for 15 minutes or until translucent and the berries break open. Enjoy!

[@lesliedean7303]

Whenever I use any of my canned veggies and fruits, I always rinse my jars with a bit of water that I then add to the pot of whatever it is that I'm making. If I'm canning it, I'm using every little bit. Plus with it being water, I can cook it a bit longer to get rid of the excess water.

[@RowesRising]

My mom did the same. Always rinsed the can into the pot. 🌻🌻 Thanks for sharing Leslie.

[@ColleenH38]

Katie, please stop feeling like you need to apologize, or explain what you feed your family. You do a FANTASTIC job making healthy, home cooked meals and it is perfectly fine to have some "junk" food mixed in every once in a while. Your children are fed well so anyone that has anything negative to say.......well...... you are too sweet for me to say what I would say. LOL.

[@RowesRising]

I just say it before they get a chance to. I get over it but I’ve had people announce that they are unsubscribing because of me not being 100% organic🤣🤣 It’s too much these days- people get so easily offended. I know you and others always have my back and I appreciate you🌻

@@RowesRising Yes sweet girl I have your back. You are doing a fantastic job raising your beautiful children!!

@@lisaeldridge5269 Yes! I am a 61 year old great grandmother and I cook almost every meal at home, buy a lot of organic and farm fresh foods but I assure you that at any given moment you will find a bag of chips and a cookie jar with Oreos here. LOL. Not going to be so uptight or judge someone for throwing in some chicken nuggets and pizza on those hectic days.

I love my cranberry salad. I use 1 lb frozen cranberries, one whole navel orange, 2 med apples. Throw it all in food processor. Add as much sugar to taste as like. It is so good!!! Especially if you let it sit in fridge over night.

So many great things in this video! 1. Your dads damascus is gorgeous!! 2. The mustard looks amazing I’m going to go to the commissary where I think they might carry it 🎉 3. Didn’t listen to my ancestors had me cracking up 4. Nothing more true about the gummies haha Love watching your videos

[@RowesRising]

Thank you Chloe!!! Where are you stationed? I bet you can find it in the Comm- look in the little international section, it should be there.

I need to render lard too 🤣

[@RowesRising]

Especially for the holidays and pie crust🌻 But you will be busy moving?

[@BrendaJBarNett]

Beautiful Damacus on that knife 😍

[@RowesRising]

It’s beautiful! I have a very small pairing knife and a super long carving knife that he made. I always remind him how much I LOVE a good chef knife. This one belongs to Gayle. Maybe one day I will make my own in his shop when we live closer. Thanks for watching!!

[@minnamae25]

We have a freezer full of lard. We use so much of it this time of year because we process our own meat. How we get that much, is we go to our local butcher and they will give us the lard that customers don't want. It's amazing how many people that have pigs butchered and don't want the lard. The butcher we use, they are absolutely amazing, we appreciate it that they just give it to us.

[@RowesRising]

I’m amazed at how much of the meat goes unused for human consumption. In favor of what? TOXIC SEED OILS and more🥴 I’ll eat my lard all day-I need to get more fat for more lard- I’m not sure the remainder of fat we have from 2 years ago is still good? Been in the deep freezer and I just haven’t gotten to all of it yet.

[@minnamae25]

@@RowesRising seriously, ask any butchers nearby if they are willing to bargain for the lard that people don't want. I'm like you, i use it a lot. Pie crust with lard is a must. Definitely need a recipe for homemade hot chocolate. We buy ours from the Amish store and its so good. Now they want over 8.00 a bag. I can't keep paying that much, and it goes up every time i go there. Everything keeps going up. So glad we have a pantry full of food and freezers full. Make do on what we already have. When you post the price of your shopping hauls, i nearly shit my pants every time. 🤣😂

[@teresabrown6412]

@@minnamae25 I make a simple hot cocoa/mocha coffee blend using sugar and cocoa powder. 1 part cocoa powder to 4 parts sugar. I use 1/4 c cocoa powder and 4 cups sugar in a quart mason jar and just shake it together. Add to milk or coffee to taste. Enjoy!

[@minnamae25]

@@teresabrown6412 thank you! 😁 i have a lot of cocoa and organic sugar.

[@teresabrown6412]

@@minnamae25 You’re welcome! I’ve seen recipes that also add powdered milk so you could add to water too but this is my go to. One more tip, if you want to use for a cold chocolate, just add a little milk to the cocoa blend to make a simple syrup that will mix better than dry cocoa powder.

[@lynettemunson7953]

We have used Colmans for years. I buy it dry to make as needed!

[@RowesRising]

I’ll keep my eye out for the dry- that’s a great idea Lynette!! It’s so good. Takes me back to the cottage we lived in by the river. One Christmas our landlord John came over and shared a meal with us. He brought sausage rolls and this mustard. He said “it’s the ONLY mustard.”😊 Good times.

I will definitely try the lid from the grated parm to the mason jar. Do you have a taco seasoning recipe video?

Hey Katie! Chili looked good, we eat chili weekly here once it gets cold. Very easy way to sneak in some veggies. Hope you enjoyed your visit with your dad 💕

[@RowesRising]

Hi!!! Thanks Lady!! Hope you are doing well Abigail 🌻

[@claudiachouest6360]

Great video! I saw a KZbinr mention her fingertips cracking in the wintertime and she swears by A&D Cream (not ointment). She puts it on every night before bed now to prevent it. Takes a few minutes to soak in. Maybe that will help your hands? Was wondering where you got the shelves from that are in your windowsill? Love it! ❤️

[@RowesRising]

Hi Claudia!! Everyone asks about that shelf- I got it from Ross dress for less. Hope you can find one similar!! Thanks for sharing the A&D lotion- I’ll might grab some. I’m thinking about making a tallow balm to share here and see if that’s helpful.

[@tracimcox]

"I wasn't listening to my ancestors, I was listening to the KZbin" also made me LOL 🤣 love it!

Hahaha Traci I make mistakes that’s for sure- my dad and his bride lived the salt content- I said “you don’t need to add any- taste it.” And they thought it was enough😅 me too much! He makes awesome things out of metal- a true craftsman and renaissance man with many talents. The KZbin filming can get me distracted- often wrangling a baby with my third arm.🤣

Pray for elk! It’s rifle season now and Aaron is out there trying to get one.

[@AHomesteadingHustle]

@@RowesRising yay!!! Did he get one since you wrote this?

[@MargaretUIUC]

Have you been deer hunting this year? I used to get a lot of eczema on my hands from washing dishes. I started washing my hands with goat's milk soap, and I swear by that stuff. It really helped my hands heal.

[@RowesRising]

I’ll grab some and some goats milk lotion- I have a local that makes it. Aaron has been hunting-currently elk hunting (rifle). He had a bad day yesterday and I had to go get him- he was having a panic attack in the middle of the woods. Not good Margaret.😓 We are making the best efforts we can. This year it’s been a challenge so far.

[@MargaretUIUC]

@@RowesRising I'm sorry it has been such a tough season.😢

[@RowesRising]

So many predators too. He’s had daily encounters with cougars, bobcats, and coyotes. Lots of predator tracks too.

[@minnamae25]

Goat's milk soap is all i use throughout the winter months. I'm trying this Miracle II soap this year because I've heard good things about that and I like that it's liquid and I can put it in my dispensers. Holy smokes, battling dry cracked hands this time of year sucks. Having a woodstove doesn't help. Just lather the goats milk lotion and some all over ya. Hahahaha

[@minnamae25]

@@RowesRising is Aaron also allowed to take a pistol when he hunts? Not sure of the laws where you're at. Panic attacks are bad lately. We are getting spiritually attacked big time. My daughter stopped in today and was telling me how she's even getting them. Just stop and pray, rebuke those demons in the name of YAHUSHA Christ almighty. I'll pray for him too. Scripture tells us how the animals will start to really turn on us and wowza, it's been bad these past 5+ year's.

[@DigginWithDeej]

That knife is beautiful. Does your dad have a website?

[@RowesRising]

I wish he did. I need to learn his trade myself because he’s broken his wrist and he keeps hammering, and it breaks again and he got surgery. Someone needs to carry on his iron talent. His shop is amazing. Look back at August 2020 on my channel and I have a video of his shop. He has made iron chandeliers, gates, latches, beds, you name it. Iron artist. He used to be a Ferrier when I was a wee girl.

[@yvettebennett6170]

Do you make purple sauerkraut like you make green sour kraut? Your dad's knife is beautiful. Does he sell them online? Vegetables in chili. I am inspired. Not sure if my family will like that. I put onion, garlic bellpepper, tomato, serrano peppers, poblanos pepper. To add carrots, celery, squash sounds wonderful. Christmas is so commercialized. I won't look at any of it until after Thanksgiving. I know I'm weird but it's just what I do. Lol. We have been on a s'mores kick. We roast them to golden in the over and it's a done deal. Happy birthday Hagen. Not sure I spelled her name right. Sorry if its not. The family gets very detailed about their birthday meals. I too have to abide by it too. Lol What a great tip about the parm cheese lid. I had no idea. 😳

[@RowesRising]

Hello Yvette! Yes I make purple the same. I have both recipes on my channel. I’m kinda anti consumerism. There are so many things… but. I digress- you won’t see a lot of buying random decor here. I do like to “window shop.” We are the weird family that doesn’t spend loads on Christmas- I will put up Christmas lights all winter- so pretty with the snow and long dark days. We are doing our best to instill into our children the true meaning of the Holidays. Thanks for watching🌻

Virtually no one on any cooking show mentions the need to drain the fat from ground beef, etc. it always seems to magically disappear!

[@RowesRising]

You are right about that Mary! Depends on the meat- with elk and deer we have to add fat even if it’s pre ground with fat- there’s never enough. At the supermarket the 80/20 and 90/10 still have a load of fat and/or water that cooks out. Depending on what I make, I may or may not drain the fat. I try to consume it cause we need all the healthy animal fat we can get.
