SUMMER GROCERY HAUL & MEAL PREP with MOM OF 5

[@jessicatounkara8753]

I love that you use up all your food. You are wonderful at feeding your family. 🎉

[@Ladiebuglane1]

Im so happy to see you feeling more yourself!!! Everything looks delicious! My girls want me to make the enchiladas! Do you have a link to the pumpkin chocolate chip walnut cookies? I can always go back and listen and write down but i thought id ask first.

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Hi Katie. So excited for a new video. Glad yall are feeling better. You seem to feel better. You look great! So thankful.

[@RowesRising]

Hi Carol!! I’m doing really well! Thanks for noticing. I have been resting as much as I can considering mom of 5 life. So glad you could be here today and watch 🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@lindadelzer423]

Glad you're going thru a "feeling good" period. Hopefully it will stay that way. Your meals always look delicious. Good to see a Mom who cooks healthy meals for the kids.

[@RowesRising]

Hi Linda!! Thank you🌻🌻🌻 Just trucking along. I’ve been able to gain weight so I’m feeling/looking better 😅

[@jenmv3483]

I forget my reusable produce bags too. Thanks for reminding me 😎

[@ruthannhochstetler3327]

Looks like my kitchen, its called a working kitchen.

[@RowesRising]

I’ve been working hard on this mess💪🏼🤣

[@kittyrichards9915]

The cookies look so good. For me I would leave out the chocolate chips, but I am sure the grandkids would like them included. Stay healthy.

[@RowesRising]

They were really good! On the softer side almost like muffin tops. 🍪

We drive approximately 50miles for raw milk but we pay $5/gallon. It comes in a plastic jug and we are able to pick up 8+ gallon and freeze since its a long drive to keep it affordable for our growing family. We make that drive every two-3 months.

[@RowesRising]

That’s awesome! I’d be making that drive too. My drive is around 35 minutes and it’s peaceful. 🌻🌻🌻

[@firstlast-js5yw]

100% agree, everything in moderation! You have a very realistic view on food and feeding your family! For years I put so much unnecessary pressure on myself to have our diet be as close to “perfect” and everything from scratch as I could afford …Now I’m seeing it’s ok once and a while to buy chicken nuggets (gasp) and give my kids GF store bought cookies here and there. Keep sharing, it’s very encouraging to me❤

[@RowesRising]

I used to be that way too- to my detriment!! I used to stress out about food so much. I have relaxed quite a bit since baby 5 arrived. I had a big reality check and now I’m much happier and less stressed 😅🌻🌻🌻

[@cherylcranford8908]

Katie girl you are looking good, hope you are feeling well, in my daily prayers. Summer fun in your shorts videos don't forget outfits of the day I like your perky attitude makes me feel good about my self style of relaxed and comfortable. I walk daily because of you enjoying all nature has to offer fresh air and sunshine. It's been a great season.

[@RowesRising]

Thank you Cheryl!! I’m feeling much better and finally gained back all the lost weight!! I need to get back to making shorts- we have been so busy with kids sports😅 Thanks for watching!!

[@cherylcranford8908]

@@RowesRising I so glad you are doing so well, please enjoy these special moments with your children as you know it flies by so quickly. Whenever you have a free minute do do them but I'm more than happy to wait and see, I'm just so happy your health is balancing back and you feel energized to do all the things you love doing being a wife, Mom, homemaker, creator, vlogger, and friend

I was buying raw cows milk for $4/gallon then the lady quit selling. I found another farm that does shares (since it's illegal to sell raw milk) and they do the share $ plus $10/gallon. Whew, I just can't pay that after paying $4/gallon 😂 I'm too cheap. I'm planning on having milk by next year myself! Looking good Katie bug! ❤❤

[@RowesRising]

I would agree! It’s always been expensive here. Maddening!!

[@BootsandBountyHomestead]

@@RowesRising yes!

[@Kathryn-o5f]

Hope you’re feeling better ❤❤❤❤

Thanks Kathy!! I’m feeling good!!

I'm glad to see you feeling better.

Thank you Jessica!! 🌻🌻🌻

We get our raw A2/A2 milk for $5/gallon from a local Amish farm here in northern Indiana. Ours is labeled *Not for Human Consumption* because of certain laws 🤪

[@ohiofarmgirl3384]

I’m glad you appear to be feeling better! I’ve never had raw milk but in Ohio, you must belong to a herd share which is quite pricey. We raise cattle, but not for dairy. We have a dairy farm 2 miles from us and I just buy our milk there but it’s been treated. It’s really good and I love supporting our fellow farm neighbors.

[@RowesRising]

That’s awesome you have access to fresh milk!! We do have a local herd share here and it is pricey. It’s expensive both ways but worth it in my opinion. Kids are happy to have fresh milk❤️

[@danbowers8346]

I buy raw milk and it’s $7.00 a half gallon for A2/A2 organic whole milk.

[@RowesRising]

That’s pretty good!! Yum🥛

[@gailmoreta]

Those enchiladas looked amazing....❤

[@RowesRising]

They were so good! I made two large casseroles of them and we had them twice with leftovers for lunches. So good! I meant to freeze a dish for later but with the busy week it just made sense to cook the second.

[@peggycarnes-s8q]

[@lovebug8720]

My son loves raw milk. I have family that owns a dairy farm. We get it for free. I do not drink it And my cousin has goats and Chickens so we get lots of eggs for free . She gives them to me every time she see me.I don't ate them, my husband don't eat them but I do cook with them.i don't eat egg at all

[@RowesRising]

That’s an awesome resource you have within your family. 🌻🌻🌻

[@firstlast-js5yw]

Are you personally still GF (I know your kids are not)? We have celiac and I’ve never made homemade GF bread that wasn’t from a box mix. Might you have a good recipe? What brand bread machine do you use? I was thinking making GF bread may be easier in a bread machine 🤔🍞

[@RowesRising]

I don’t have a gf bread recipe unfortunately. I have a Zojurishi bread machine. I will link it here and in the video’s description amzn.to/3WJEALm

[@firstlast-js5yw]

@@RowesRising that’s the brand I was looking at, nice to know someone I admire likes it!

@lisahanneman3977 a working kitchen is a beautiful thing. 🌻🌻🌻

[@minnamae25]

Holy shit $12.00 a gallon??? That's nuts, we don't live in Hawaii. Our local farm sells it for $4.00 a gallon. If we show up with our own jugs and it's poured out straight from the bulk tank, then it's $3.00 a gallon. American greed is gonna definitely cause people to starve. I just keep thanking YAH for our blessings.

[@RowesRising]

I believe it’s so costly because it’s high desert and high demand. It costs a lot to feed the cows- having access to pastures and the water to keep growing forage etc. plus the long winters. “grass fed” milk from the store is $6 a half gallon😅

[@minnamae25]

@@RowesRising I'm more or less talking about all of America as one. This country is a greedy nation and this is why everything costs a fortune. It's ALL ran on greed. For instance, hay here is a bumper crop here for this area. So instead of spreading the wealth in a not so greedy way, people will either let it go to mold or charge an arm and a leg to transport and sell to an area that wasn't so lucky. I seriously think this is all a test from the Most High YAH to see who is full of greed and who is giving.

[@RowesRising]

@minnamae25 I agree with you. Greed is ruining this nation!
