What we eat in a week

[@_LUNARVAEZ]

Would love to see something like this again.

[@lolorton]

i love that book about what the world eats, we've checked it out of the library a few times. I'll have to look for the other ones.

[@ArtandHomesteading]

Thanks for saring. Those books look really fun. we had come across a blog article once with the same idea, it was so eye opening, it really had a lasting impression on what we chose to eat after reading it.

[@SowtheLand]

Yeah, it's neat to see everything all at once! thanks guys!

[@1000sofroots]

Such a fun video! We love your food choices. We eat much of the same items . . . just multiplied in quantity by about 3. Blessings to you - The Smyth Family

[@Mama.annalise]

love this! even menu plans as you get from the garden

[@SowtheLand]

thanks Annalise!

[@SplashyCannonBall]

When you said gluten free I signed up. My wife has celiac and I never knew how food was “made up” of so many things until I met her. Seeing the struggle of being in this weird society of “fake” food made my eyes open to the changes humans made. I like your channel. So far. So many homestead families are actually wealthier than they let on and it doesn’t seem real. It’s like a fast mailman. I appreciate humble normal hard. It’s it’s hard it’s true and if it’s true it’s hard.

LOVED THIS! ❤️😍 Loved the format, loved the music, loved the inspiration!!!!❤️ Yall are incredibly creative in SO MANY ways!!!😁

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi....... Jason and Lorraine nice to see you I love you are growing vegetables it so nice to watch your video, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🐔🐓🐥🌱🎥👍👍👍

[@lolorton]

i like you're idea of coming back to it seasonally, maybe some explanation as to what meals you make with some of it might be cool too. I would think it's overwhelming to assemble as much food as we eat in a week, great job.

[@christinegroesbeck7933]

I love this idea, but I thought it would have been even better if you went through each item individually as I wasn’t sure what many of the items on the table were!!!

[@SoundsLikeReign]

Great idea. Love it! Thanks friends :)

[@SowtheLand]

thanks friends!

[@JR-ef3nu]

Hi There! I was told about your channel from a mutual Friend (Kendra Wright). My two sons (4 and 9) LOVE watching your homesteading adventures. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@SowtheLand]

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know! thanks for watching Abigail!

[@reneep9968]

No wonder your so fit! Sweet P is too adorable! Thanks for sharing. Blessings...

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks Renee!

[@akindofmagick]

Love this!! Next time do a close-up scan of your ingredients (what did Penelope hold up at the end??) and talk about some general meals y'all enjoy??!! What's your go-to breakfast? Lunch? What are your 3 favorite dinners? I'm teaching my girls to cook dinners this summer, and they need suggestions!! Especially as I cook primarily Asian stir-fries, and they're loathe to do all that chopping, but they've been challenged to make one meal per week all summer!!

[@SowtheLand]

One meal a week is a good idea! we will do a follow up video to this. She was holding up maple syrup which we use when we bake in place of sugar. thanks for watching and the great comment!

[@littlesawa61]

your little girl is the sweetest thing ever lol

[@MandyLeeLilac]

I really, really wish what we ate looked more like that beautiful table of real food. We need to continue making some changes, I know we can get closer to that. Inspiring, thanks!

[@sonyagregory5711]

Your food is very familiar to what I eat. Looks good. Love the grass fed milk. KerryGold butter! Great Vid!

[@SowtheLand]

We don't drink too much milk mainly for baking. We also prefer raw grass fed un pasteurized milk. We would regularly by in california. But here it's illegal. So, regular grass fed milk is the next best thing. Sounds like you eat well Sonya! thanks!

[@my_freelance_life]

Thanks for sharing.

[@lmd2454]

That IS the best way to eat! Food is medicine for our bodies and we were designed to thrive on certain foods. The average American diet is the #1 cause of death in America. After years of health issues finally coming to a frightening climax this year, we have finally decided to give up all of the stuff we never should have been eating to begin with. If we were to take a picture of everything we eat in a week now, it would look almost exactly like yours. I wish I had taken a picture of everything we ate in a week, a year ago, to compare. It would have been scary for sure.

[@2incorrect352]

I see y'all just living my dream. Lol. Jk, stuck in a tiny apartment in the country between two cities. D: about to start converting my dining room into a grow room for our veggies ❤ any tips on what fruit grow best in smallish areas?

[@AVega-rx4px]

You know I love this video! Awesome!

[@michaellohre1470]

Impressive that you are avoiding processed and trying to eat real food! I''m still working on it and want to get there. This is probably a great exercise just to actually see what you are consuming all in one go and unique perspective. I have a 600 pounds of pig and chicken and turkey feed in our mud room and I know how that disappears over a very short window; this lays it all out in one stack on a human level. Always enjoy your videos and I would be happy to watch them even if you only did two a week. I don't know how you get them done every day. God bless!

[@SowtheLand]

These videos are a lot of work but also fun to do! It is a great excercise to do for sure. Really makes you think. thanks Michael!

[@kimlettau4167]

What is in the glass jars? Did you dehydrate some of your produce?

[@Meira750]

My husband and I are legume and dairy intolerant and I think it's not gluten but yeast that gives me a problem, but I stay away from wheat and other gluten products.I"m also allergic to commercial eggs. I can't raise my own right now, I don't know if that would make a difference. But even so, what's on that table would feed us for 3 days max. The fruit and eggs might last a bit longer but for full meals, no way. We have some meat every day, we eat veggies and fruit, my husband eats a little bread and I eat oatmeal or cheerios if it's too hot for hot cereal. I can tolerate cream because it has almost no lactose and it's fine for oatmeal. For cheerios, I actually put some unsweetened coffee in because cream alone is too thick, haha. We are 67 and 73 but are healthy and not overweight. It really depends on genetics to some extent and how you metabolize food. I need a lot more protein than you showed because my blood sugar is too low and carbing out just makes it worse.

[@reallifehomemaking3679]

Can you please do some videos of real food cooking ideas? any maybe some grocery planning videos to go along with what you eat in a weeks time. thanks..

[@rickrhoton9012]

We flew out to North Carolina last year as my son was at music camp in Brevard. I stopped at the subway on my way from Asheville to brevard and ordered a gluten free bun for my wife's sandwich, the lady there had no idea what that was. How difficult is it to get everything you need at the stores there?

[@SowtheLand]

I think most major restaurant like that don't do gluten free. That is why we very rarely eat out. Actually it is very easy here to shop for gluten free. Stores have gluten free bread but we also use a lot of lettuce wraps. A lot more easy to do gluten free now than it was 6 years ago when we first started! thanks Rick!

[@Flossie-7]

Love it! 💕

[@Catalina58601]

I love your videos

[@virginiareid5336]

Very nice.

[@meaganm77]

I love this video!! I am way too embarrassed to show what my family eats because we eat way too much junk. I would love to know how you transitioned to eating "real food"? Was it gradual or all at once? I have tried to eat more healthy but it never seems to last long but this is something I really want to change in our family. Any tips?

[@SowtheLand]

Hi Maegan, we will do a follow up video to this and more videos on how we eat. It was gradual for sure. Having had cancer 8 years ago really wakes you up to what you put in your body! That is our motivation! I wanted to feel good from the inside out. For us we just didn't buy bad stuff and keep it in the house. We will talk about that in another video. thanks for watching and the great comment!

[@jimboholcomb1]

Nice work

[@SowtheLand]

thanks Jimbo!

[@mishalea]

Penelope was so cute in this vlog! Just curious if y'all basically eat the same stuff in a week?

[@brie1226]

Recipes would be awesome

[@gerrymarmee3054]

Thinking about what I have eaten all week is pretty enlightening! Ugh.

[@SowtheLand]

thanks for watching Gerry!

[@danieldowning4583]

Yes, diffidently keep us up dated on seasonal changes in your diet. With big corporate farma tainting their so called food , we need to number one grow our own food if possible or be able to knowingly trust the source of our comestibles. Great vid. Love the channel.

[@CherishEaDay]

Two things ... wondering how much you spend a month on the groceries that you have to buy and second has your diet changed since you posted this video? Penelope you're so cute!

[@terry320]

Since you eat gluten free, do you make your own bread, and if not, what brand of bread do you purchase? Thanks so much.

[@yinka321]

I looooove my Kerrygold butter!!!!

[@SowtheLand]

yaaaay!!

[@anatrampert1332]

Penelope was so quite!

[@richardroyles1423]

Don’t know if I can do it don’t see no potato chips no ice cream. Kansas

[@RickMartinYouTube]

I love running.

[@jessicacederburg2919]

I'll pull together a what we eat in a day pic for you. We eat a lot and I grocery shop twice a week because of our family size, so a week's worth is a challenge. I have hungry, growing girls! 4 bottomless pits!

[@lorrainecontreras9053]

Jessica Griffin thanks! I would love to see!

[@4409rjf]

funny how you published this video because not that long ago I thought about your family and how you are growing and raising a lot of your food. Our family leans vegitarian with an occasional here and there of meat consumption. Have you considered from an energy expenditure / economical stand point not raising the chickens and going vegitarian?

[@SowtheLand]

Rafael Fernandez hi Rafael, I would say we eat more vegetarian type dishes than meat dishes. We don't eat meat everyday. But i wouldn't say we are vegetarians. Everything in moderation. We feel that healthy meat gives us the healthy fat we need for our body. Like bone broth and organ meats. I would rather raise meat myself than buy it somewhere else if possible. Economically it's much cheaper to raise these chickens ourselves than buy them from the store. We do eat beef but occasionally. We didn't have any on this table because it can be expensive. Do you eat a vegetarian type diet because it's cheaper? Do you grow your own food? I hope this answered your question. Thanks for the great comment and hope you have a good week!

[@4409rjf]

Sew The Land we live outside of Atlanta and have room to grow food but we are not the growing kind. We have in the last few years moved to a more plant based diet specially after our daughter discovered where meat comes from🐮 I really like the food/environmental sastainability movement, also when it comes to energy production. Being a former Biology teacher I'm really intrigued with how enery flows from one system to another and how we as humans use it. Ok I got a little off topic there 🙃

[@SowtheLand]

Rafael Fernandez yeah, we wouldn't be having land if we weren't growing our food. We'd still be in los angeles. good to hear Rafael! We never been to Atlanta. Nice to meet you Rafael! Hope you and your family have a good summer!

[@4409rjf]

Sew The Land if your ever in town look us up. [e-mail] we would love to show you around.

[@alejorosas7302]

Whats your favorite Beer?

[@dwalsh4027]

Penelope is as cute as can be.

[@philhershberger5359]

Food looks really good. . . BUT, - I'm missing the bread or biscuits or corn bread . . . Yeah I know!! Phil

[@SowtheLand]

haha! thanks Phil!

[@Miguel195211]

A lot of eggs!

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

I'd be soooo skinny!!! 😳😀

[@SowtheLand]

thanks for watching Julie!

[@janedoe2596]

I highly believe in this way of eating... may sound harsh but he just talks way too much.

[@darlenemeek2201]

If GOD made it, it's good......if man made it, it's suspect!
