Pantry & Freezer CLEANOUT Edition! A Whole WEEK of LARGE FAMILY Food!

Come check out what our large family of 9 eats during a typical week! This week, I need to be purposeful in our menu and use up food items that are expiring soon or things that we have a large surplus in stock. We enjoy eating fruits and vegetables that we grow in our gardens and meats that we hunt or raise on our homestead. We also love meals made from whole foods that are made from scratch, but we have plenty of fun treats too. There's a LOT of food in this video! (Scroll down to see all the videos that were referenced in this video!)

Good use of the leftovers little one I like that will salads. They all seem not mind eating leftovers.. Have a good day .

[@user-ld1xv1xx1i]

I think the leftovers taste better when being in the fridge a few days.

[@juliaperry137]

I'm kinda new to your channel. Do y'all ever eat grits?

[@susaningram6360]

It is wonderful that y’all have made it a mission to thrive on one outside income. Your children are so calm and happy. Having God as your family’s Head shows in your home.

[@stephencameron1709]

I really enjoy you and your beautiful family! Great meal ideas and creativity. It’s so nice to see a family who is so kind, helpful and loving to one another. It’s a rare thing nowadays. ❤️🙏🏻Val C

[@user-bv2ri3ol8k]

I really like watching your videos on what your family eats or what your family eats for a week meals ❤❤❤❤

[@krystlethelightbeing2539]

❤❤ I love this. I have kids myself, and we have a new homestead here in north Oklahoma.. definitely subscribed to the channel. Your children are precious. I can feel the love in that house through the screen ❤

[@thecheapbird4971]

OMG. Stoup is what my depression era grandma called the weeks leftovers ( no matter what) added to a pot with broth n a couple of eggs( like egg drop soup) stew/soup = stoup. I make stoup weekly, it's just like your leftovers on the counter!

[@erinnola-raised6543]

Thank You, It’s Lovely to watch how You & Beautiful Family work together & share meals.

[@kristinedey4156]

You do such a great job of keeping your house clean and your family fed. It’s inspiring really.

[@kittyrichards9915]

I think Rebecca is going to keep you on your toes. David has a fun personality too.

[@Timbergal]

Yes she will ❤

[@Sweetrottenapple]

I heard a trick from a very lovely lady here on KZbin, and she said, you can use up your leftover small bits of remaining jelly from the fridge by using it in bread instead of sugar. I saw her loafs and I must say they look perfect every time! I love your weekly meal videos keep them coming! ❤

[@findingjoyinthejourneywith8290]

Sam praying at the table by himself before eating is everything ❤

[@maryhekker4166]

Sweet Janice, you never fail to amaze the heck out of me with all the imagist ideas for meals. I’m saving this video for my son to watch later as he was having frustration coming up with ideas for new type of recipes. Love your whole family and continue to pray for all your wellbeing and success. With all the pieces of my ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇🫶🫶🫶🙏🙏🙏

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Hi Mary Ann! We love you too and pray that your health is always improving. Sending hugs to you, friend! :)

[@user-bv2ri3ol8k]

I really enjoy watching your videos

[@tinahiggins5789]

You are such a sweet mama

[@randidullaghan200]

I love watching your channel, your so down to earth. You make good food and no frill's which in my mind is wonderful

[@traceyfunk7452]

I love watching your family's channel. Gives me great ideas on what to make for meals. Such a fun family to watch and enjoy. With God all things are possible.

[@margarettickle9659]

Best week of the month at our house is clean out the refrigerator week. With all the scraps Ive saved there's always vegetable soup, tacos, burrittos, enchiladas, stir-fry, meat saice, fried rice with meat, chili. I'm meticulous about dividing meat up for dinners and there is aways meat left in the freezer. BEST week of the month.

[@janetfuhrmaneck3149]

I made your cheeseburger soup last week for a dinner at church. It was a huge hit! Thanks for sharing!

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Yay!! That makes me so happy, Janet! :)

[@suzannehanna9582]

I really like that with these meals there are usually a few alternatives if one item is not someone’s favorite. I know they are not picky but I still think it’s nice.

[@KendraKutche]

This video makes me hungry. ❤ yall!

[@ggcruise]

It is strange to enjoy your meal videos so much! It it interesting to see how to feed such a large family, plus get neat recipe/menu ideas, plus just feels like hanging out with you guys!

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Aww, that makes me happy! I love hanging out with you! :)

[@user-gd1ql3ct6v]

Thanks for sharing

[@martitasez]

I am trying to see other ways to use your traditional buttermilk. I know with WHOLE buttermilk you can make buttermilk fudge. It's not the traditional chocolate fudge, but more a caramel flavored fudge. I thought you might like the recipe some day.

[@audkarinen6875]

Yum

[@jodibartlebaugh1305]

Just a suggestion, if you make Earl Grey tea orange citrus flavor hot tea add reg sugar to it, then take a handful of cherries put then in mouth, with a sip of hot tea. It truly taste like fruit loops. Just a suggestion.

[@tanem3660]

Mashed potatoes can made into potato cakes with cheese and bacon

[@amsodoneworkingnow1978]

Or in Scotland we would make them into potata( tatties scones) simply add all purpose flour salt mix into firm dough to quarter of an inch cut into rounds or trian gles fry till golden brown. Beautiful with bacon fried eggs etc.

[@lisaharrigan1370]

Yum! That sounds sooo good!

[@janmking1]

My favorite videos

[@LargeFamilyHomestead]

Hello! This is the first time I have seen one of your videos. I'm so happy to find you. It also looks like we have several kids with the same name. 😉♥♥♥

Hi Janice i am not sure what is going on with my E mail but i just was sending you a comment and i am not sure where it went. So i am trying again. In my comment i was just saying that eating leftovers is a great way to save money and to not waist any food. I do this all the time cleaning out the fridge.

[@martitasez]

@Sarah your dinner sounded delicious! I'd come to your meal any day

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Claudia, Sarah continues to have her cup of tea every single morning now. You picked out the perfect calendar to fit her. Thank you so much for that! :)

[@suzanneford1571]

Use your kitchen aid mixer to make butter

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Hi Suzanne! We do sometimes, but Sarah has been on a "do it by hand" kick lately! :)

[@debrasnipes7431]

@@ozarkfamilyhomesteadGreat minds think alike! Absolutely love homemade whipped cream and I’ve been on a kick here lately where I have me a little bit just about every night, instead of ice cream. And I love nothing better than to take a pint mason jar, pour some heavy cream in and shake the dickens out of it until it’s thick and yummy. It’s really surprising how quickly it comes together. I do add just a pinch of powdered sugar to mine to sweeten it a tad. I really love it on fresh fruit, but most of the time I don’t have the patience to cut that up so I just put the whipped cream in a little cup and eat it with a spoon. 😄

[@sharonwest1602]

Shawn did a very good job last night and it looked very good 💕

[@shirleystrong2122]

Oh yes, Beef Barley soup is so good! I love making soups! Great video!

Sounds delicious

Great plating, Sarah! It’s important. ❤

I love the film food sign! Have a good week to you all 😊

[@silvialivick3034]

I never new canned food gets old,I heard the expiration dates are more for store shelves but not really for us

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Yeah, we have no qualms about eating things past their expiration date, but it's still a good reminder for me to keep rotating through my stockpiles of food! :)

[@theonewhomjesusloves7360]

"film food" thats what i need every day for all kinds of stuff around the house...lol😊

[@debbiesmith5763]

As usual everything looks so yummy! Even leftovers

[@user-nl4nh7rf4p]

I love these What We Eat in a Week videos. I don't know why. It's just so interesting to see how you feed this large family on very little. Thank goodness they don't complain about eating those leftovers, because it certainly saves you so much money! Rebekah is so cute and getting SO smart as her 3rd birthday nears. Sarah, I need that banana chocolate chip muffin recipe! I looked up some recipes though. Have some frozen bananas I need to use up. Great video, as usual! David is so cute, great lil personality! lol Sam praying at the table was beautiful.

[@LisaShankk]

Great video Janice and family hope yall have a great week.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

How did you make your root cellar

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Suzanne, I haven't made an official video on it yet, but our home is actually an earth-berm home. So, it's built into a hillside. Because of that, it was fairly easy to also build a root cellar into the same hillside as the house. Now, having said all that, we didn't actually do any of the construction! The house and the root cellar were both already here when we bought the property. :)

[@suzanneford1571]

@@ozarkfamilyhomestead ok, bummer, I was hoping to know how to do it we can’t dig done because of rock, but we do have some dirt

When do the kids work on their homeschool books/projects?

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

We actually showed that we were schooling around mealtimes in the video!

[@suzanneford1571]

@lavender homeschool kids only take a few hours to do the work as opposed to public school only a few hours and accomplish more

[@lisaharrigan1370]

Samuel and Sarah were/are taking college level courses in high school, so I think they are getting plenty of school time. Samuel also scored extremely high on his SATs and I am sure Sarah will too!
