As always, I just love your videos. As a bee keeper I'm always so happy when people provide honey to their family. Honey doesn't expire or go bad. If you get crystallization (tiny bit or full jar) just put the jar in a pan of warm water on your stove. It will slowly return to normal. You can make your own cough drops, add it to your Elderberry syrup and many other home remedies for colds.

[@shelleystead5899]

Sarah, for the mushrooms you should do the same as you do for garlic and lemon juice etc, I often buy mushrooms in bulk when they are on sale and sauté them all and freeze in useable differing portion sizes for eggs or stir fries or sauces and then put them into the pan frozen just like you do with garlic and ginger. Works fantastic!

Mushrooms - paper bag as soon as you get them home but you need to put napkin/paper towel between layers of them.

If you guys eat a lot of pasta, I would glady recommend a pasta machine to anyone...I adore ours! Flour, water and add an egg if you desire (we do, but it tastes good either way). We also like to make coloured pasta with pureed spinach and beetroot juices. Best part is you can flavour your pasta any way you want to by adding any seasonings like dried herbs, paprika or taco seasoning, similar to the way you can flavour your dough when you're making your own pizza bases. I have a Philips pasta/noodle maker, the best part is all the different extruding moulds making it very versatile. Even use the lasagne mould to make ravioli type pastas and dumpling/wonton casings (although now you can buy one for this apparently). Its very hardy, very balanced when in use & doesn't move around on the bench, easy to pull apart to change the extrusion moulds as well as clean and then put back together - or at least, I've found it to be so. The initial cost can be a bit offputting, especially when store bought pasta isn't really very pricey, but for me it's balanced out because I like knowing exactly what is going into the foods my family is consuming and also removing a little bit of the environmental impact of shipping/plastic packaging.

[@lindapearson2376]

[@Sunshine-np8gq]

A pasta Machine is good. You don’t need to buy special flour. Bread flour works great too. My go to recipe for pasta is 2 cups of bread flour, 3 eggs and a pinch of salt. For your family maybe 6 cups of bread flour, 9 eggs and 3 pinch’s of salt . It’s tastes great in chicken noodle soup. It has a great texture and flavor in simple tomato sauce. You can make lasagna with it with out pre boiling it. You can make a really good ravioli and other great pastas. The kids may have making it too

You put in the ingredients and mix it.. the swap out the mix part for the shape pasta you want and turn it on again… you can do it all by hand but it really is easier with the electric pasta maker!

The eggs I use to buy at Sam’s Club went from $3.89 to $7.98. Then I went in a couple weeks ago it had gone up to $11.07. That’s a dealbreaker had to rethink a new plain. Luckily I found them cheaper at Sam’s with a dozen less eggs.

Wow....that is crazy!

I know this is an old video but you asked about mushroom 🍄 preservation so I refuse to buy fresh mushrooms unless I’m going to use them within 24 hours. I always buy frozen mushrooms from Walmart. They’re about $2 for 10 oz and they last for endless months. They’re perfect because you can just thaw them out as needed. They taste very fresh when cooked

I learn from your videos and enjoy them a lot. Even though you have a large family and we are only three in the house, there is a lot of things that still apply. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for watching!

I’m surprised you haven’t moved out to some land so you could do large gardens. You do an excellent job feeding your growing kids on the budget you have. I see so many large families spend so much more, even double or triple what you do.

Sarah definitely has it down! But she also isn’t buying all of the convenience snack items. That’s huge for such a large family.

[@OurTribeofMany]

Would love to be on more land one day.

@@Brittbritt15 I agree with you ... she does not buy the crap at sharp shopper I think it is called. I never bought 1 jar of baby food for my son when he was little yes I did tons of chopping and blending of our foods for him but not junk food as sweet potatoes/baby food in a jar.Ohh and that meat lookedso gross!!! : ) cindy

Peace is precious. You have a beautiful family...wonderful parents

Don`t use the pastamaker myself but hear and see a lot of comments that for a big family it cannot produce enough. So I think your family size, should really need at least 2! And ther goes your counterspace...

You are so organized! Great job 🤗

My family loves raw milk! My 3 year actually started gaining weight (she was born premature and has been below 15% for her weight forever and has now gained about 3 lbs it's awesome). I can drink raw milk when I've been intolerant of pasteurized milk my entire life, my allergies have gotten so much better too.

[@OurTribeofMany]

That's great!

[@AbbyDee1015]

Can I ask how long your 3 year old has been drinking raw milk? My 3 year old is also a preemie, born at 30 weeks. He’s a skinny Minnie and I’m always looking for ways to help him gain weight.

[@alisien6227]

@@AbbyDee1015 It's been about 3 months since we started.

We have chickens and share with several families, mostly older couples or new families.
