My "naughty" side slips out every now and again! I miss all that when line cooking! Now I'll just share it with you guys!! Haha. It was a nice test to see how everyone would feel about that line! So happy you all enjoy my humor!!
You could take those bananas on the tortillas ,spread with peanut butter and drizzle honey! Usually a kid favorite! Even a sprinkle of granola for crunch if you like! From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤️
I truly enjoy your videos! I was thrown out at 16 so there are so many things I didn't learn to cook and even at 59 your videos teach me without making me feel less then smart. Keep it up!
Wonderful haul. The Ezekiel line is super good, healthy but expensive, so it's great you got a package of them. Once I tried eggs on my noodles, I never went back. I'm not a huge pasta fan but the eggs take the pasta to a whole new level. You did a great job!
I've made carbonara a few times and I love it! May I suggest to cook the pancetta before the spaghetti. Also, try to save more pasta water, you may not need it, but you have it. I've learned to temper the eggs with the pasta water before adding to the pan. For me, it helps prevent scrambling. Carbonara is one of my all time favorites and yours looked great.
I appreciate all those tips! Tempering the eggs is a great idea, I should have thought of that! Thank you for all the tips! I'll be making this again for sure!
Hi Carolina! 👋🏻 I love your attitude! If I had a daughter I’d want her to be like you. 😀 Keep up the great work you do and happy thanksgiving to you and yours. 😀❤️
I love that you use what you can get and are appreciative. It really takes some thought to use some of the random things you get. You do a great job using the food.
Carbonara, yes! I use bacon because it's not so easy to find pancetta all the time, and use either parmesan or romano, whatever I have on hand. In fact, may even have it tonight!!!
Yummy! The squishy sound as you were folding/stirring the pasta at the end with all the goodies in it, made my lips smack! Another great recipe and video.
I peeled and sliced my apples from food giveaways. Anyway,first soaked them in lemon juice,rinced and then I put the apples in a heavy pot and added brown, white sugar,vanilla and nuts and then I cooked them until they candied and poured it all into a browned pie shell then covered with another pie crust and baked. So easy and yummy. Your so creative so I would love to see what you do with all those fabulous red apples.
Oh that sounds so good!! Thank you for sharing that with me! The kids have already eaten the first row of those apples! So nice to be able to yell, "If you are still hungry go grab an apple!" Haha
So I have to admit… I questioned you at first… not judged but questioned.. and I have to say I was wrong! Todays haul really flipped me! Some hauls are really small but others are like please take more! More! More! So much food goes to waste and would go to waste if you didn’t take advantage of the opportunity! And you are showing ppl who may not usually have these items how you can use them! So thank you! And I hope your channel grows! In my area our food bank I’m rural and it’s the local church… it’s just what ppl drop off maybe the occasional grocery store but we only have one so… I didn’t see how abundant other communities could be the food items.
Thank you for being honest and telling me that! I can see how some people would question my hauls, when their experience with food banks is them running out of food and not enough to go around. I would shop differently at mine, if that was our case. I've seen first hand how much food gets thrown out at the end of the week. It hurts my heart. Thank you for sticking around and giving me and my channel a chance!
I developed dairy , black pepper, cocoa bean( chocolate), brown mustard allergy 4 years ago. so I have had to create/modify a lot of my receipes.I wanted to try Pasta Carbonara so I made it with a dairy free parmesan it was yummy!! Brussels sprouts roasted in the oven and then drizzled with an aged balsamic vinegar are delicious.
Man, I'm sorry you have so many allergies. It's crazy how you can just develop allergies out of nowhere! Sounds like you are doing a great job modifying recipes to what you can eat!! That takes skills!!
@@mamabairds it has been fun but a challenge. I have to make almost everything from scratch because anything store bought says spices. ( usually Pepper)I found out by trial and error😣 Pepper is in so much stuff it's crazy. I just want a big slice of lasagna. ( dairy free ,pepper free I know it sounds nasty but I want a piece) Can't find any store bought and my attempts have not been good😂
I'm so happy that you're getting sponsorships! Yay! ❤ (Oh, and just in case you're not aware, I wear headphones, and I only heard the sponsorship part in the left ear. I could hear the rest of the video in both ears.)
Ok, could have been the way I recorded it. Thank you for sharing that with me! I want to get better and do it well, so I appreciate all feed back! I can't believe I'm getting sponsors! AAAHHHHH!!!
I love cabbage but i hate sprouts only one of my sons loved them so at christmas i bought him a wee bag to go with his christmas dinner. A lot of people like bacon mixed in there sprouts. I love Spaghetti Carbonara looked looked so yummy.
I guess they aren't similar! You are the second person to mention they don't like sprouts but like cabbage!! I'll try it with my pepper bacon next time! That'll be good! Thanks! Happy holidays to you!
After watching this video, I was shocked to realize I dont think Ive ever had pasta carbonara in my entire life!!! Im a pretty adventurous eater and enjoy many dishes from all over the world. Somehow I managed to never once try pasta carbonara! I assumed it was a tomato based pasta for some reason. After watching you make it and checking out a few recipes for it online, I am planning on making it for dinner sometime next week! I already have all the ingredients except the panceta, which I added to my grocery list. Thank you for introducing me to a new dish!!!❤️ Im glad to see you and your family enjoy brussel sprouts too! They are probably my favorite vegetable and we eat them often at my house. Sometimes I like them cold as a snack even.. I just boil them then refridgerate.. Once cold I sprinkle with salt and dip them in mayo/ketchup mix. Its one of my favorite snacks, lol!
Let me know when you make it!! It was super tasty! I would do half Romano/half Parm though, ours turned out a little sharp, but still very tasty! I've been eating the left over sprouts cold from the fridge! Haha. They really are so good!
I know I said it b4 but gonna say it again, I just luv ur hauls from the food bank. I especially luv when u have things that are maybe unusual or just not seen that much. Ur channel has really grown so much. Congratulations 👏 🎊 💐 🥳 Keep up the great work.
Ohhh yeah, we love carbonara too. Such a filling , delicious dish. We try new things all the time , sometimes it's fantastic and sometimes we just eat it anyway. Hahaha . I just did my first food bank haul on here. I think I should've kept the video shorter but I'm still Learning so much about YT. Trying something new 😉Thank you for sharing lovely 😍
I didn't know you had a channel! I subbed! You got this! Just keep posting and give yourself some grace when you make mistakes and you will do just great!
@@mamabairds I've had a channel for years and just never took the leap for that first video. I'm going to give it a go and see. It's so much harder to learn it all than I thought. Thank you beautiful 😍
Great haul. The power packs are great. Love that. Kid's first. You are always so positive 💛 , thankful. I've learned alot watching you cook ty. Happy Thanksgiving 😊
Great job on the carbonnara (sp). I did make it once with bacon though. Our family loves brussel sprouts too, made like you did, or in the cast iron on stove with bits of bacon and butter, depending on how much bacon fat is there. I find they cook a little quicker even on low heat, but you have to watch them more.
Wow Mama Baird, you should do voice over and ad work sometimes too! You sounded terrific doing the skill share talk. Precise and professional. I am impressed💛 I love cabbage. Cooked Brussels sprouts are one of the only foods I won’t eat. It even grosses me out to be in a room where they have cooked. Bleah! I even shivered when you took them out of the oven. My poor sister cooks them in the shed for Thanksgiving so I won’t cry. But I do love them uncooked and thin sliced in any kind of slaw. Your carbonara looks delicious! How amazing would roasted garlic bread be with the tomato basil bread? Here you go again making me think I am starving to death. Hahahahaha. Tfs💛💛💛
I'm so glad you enjoyed the voice over! It was my first one and I was nervous! Haha. Glad it sounded good! That so funny that you love cabbage and not brussel sprouts! Your sister gets an A+ for cooking them out in the shed for you!! If my brother knew I hated a certain smell he would literally find a way to cook them in my room while I'm sleeping! Haha!! Brothers.... Oh garlic bread with the tomato basil bread would be so tasty you are so right!!
I really enjoy your channel. I go to my churches food pantry it's once a week and you can pick 7 items per family member alot of times there's really not anything to get but I find your videos helpful thank you
Carbonara is a favorite of mine but I never made it! I keep meaning on trying it. I just harvested my brussel sprouts and plan on roasting some for Thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing Carolina! Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family!
Your pancetta carbonara & brussels sprouts looks delicious! And I love Gala apples, they are my fav! I'd love to see a video showing what all you end up doing with that lovely box full of them! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family!
so excited that you are getting sponsors! also closing in on 10k!! you are doing great, carolina! i'd love to know what you thought of the flour-less tortillas. i have ceilac and am always on the lookout for gf items.
Great grocery haul! You can fry the pancetta first, let it cool. Make the egg sauce in a bigger bowl, add the cooked pasta straight from the pot in and then add the cooled pancetta. The heat from the pasta will cook the egg or you can just fry the whole thing dome more in case you want to make sure it's properly cooked. 😊 P.S. I love the office and watermelon. 🍉
Yukon golds are the best potatoes for potato salad! I used to use russet until my friend recomended Yukon Golds and they really make a huge difference!🥔🥔🥔
Just found your channel and subscribed..love seeing how different areas have different things from the Food Bank. Our local Food Bank comes to our neighborhood once a month..but you can go there as well to their local building if you need to as well. Great haul..Can't wait to see more
Great haul and video and with some humor 😀!! Have you ever watched Jammerrill do the mega mama freezer meals? She's a family of 13 and a friend of Becky's! God Bless and keep on being your Awesome self !! 😊
The sheer volume of different types of breads available in the USA is mind blowing! I am wondering if that would contribute to the number of items being donated because customers can not decide what to buy or just simply can never buy that many options. Such an over production
That looks delicious! I would put some fresh chopped tomatoes on it. Thank you for dinner idea tonight. Brussel sprouts also look good. Love your channel.
I was scared to make carbonara because of the eggs too. Love it now though, and it's a meal the whole family will actually eat. Might actually have to make it asap, lol. Also a fan of Brussel sprouts! My kids love them. We season it like you did, but we also chop up bacon to cook with it. Yummo!
I make that pasta carbonara once in awhile. It’s delicious! I airways use bacon because that’s what I have. I was worried about scrambling the eggs my first time, too! Hope your family liked it!
The kids loved dinner! My son, Gideon, just loves bacon so "bacon pasta" was a hit! Haha. Yes the ground beef was locally raised! That's so amazing to find at the food bank!
@@mamabairds I have been around but usually I have been watching RUclips in the evening because I have been crazy busy during the day and I have a new medication that makes me very tired so when I am watching at night I don't comment as much because I am very tired once the holidays pass and life settles down I will get back to normal youtube watching during the day. But I watch all of your vlogs and know that if I don't comment I am still there.
Hey Mama! This looks delicious. You can make some really good stuff. I'm catching up on your videos. Have been super busy. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. ❤🦃🦃
All our store pumpkins get picked up and taken to feed Dairy Cow's to keep them disease free . Wonder if that help me? I made home made pumpkin pie with cream cheese cake on top so good . Then pumpkin cranberry bread, pumpkin log roll. And cookies with walnuts Christmas will be different but I'm changing to what we have now learning from your teachings. Times are very hard and Oregon raised the gas more almost a full $6.00 a gallon but over that if you drive truck.
Wow! Your gas is at $6 a gallon? I just got it at Costco here for $3.69 yesterday. It took forever for them to lower the price under $4 here. but $6 is crazy and you aren't that far away from me. All that baking sounds so fun!! I need to do some Christmas baking already! Thanks Sandy!
Oh my gosh Waffle House! We live In Oklahoma and love those scattered, smothered, and covered hash browns. You go girl with the new recipes. You are an inspiration! The leftover turkey with the tomato basil bread with melted cheese makes a great sandwich. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!
Oh that would be a great sandwich! You could use the cranberry sauce as the spread for it....oh yum! Husband and I were just talking about smothered, covered and diced hash browns! Haha. I wish we had one here.
I love carbonate although I've never made it. I hope you show us how to use an acorn squash. If you don't mind me asking, what do you pay rent for your place? Just wondering.
Yes I'll show you the acorn squash and what to do with it! I'm thinking a winter squash video and tackle a bunch of the different ones and what to do with them!
I slice cored apples with a mandolin & dehydrate with a sprinkling of cinnamon on top. I cut the slices in half so I can get more into a quart sealer that I vacuum seal with a FoodSaver attachment. My grandchildren love to snack on them and I’m happy to give them a a healthy snack with no chemicals or preservatives. I buy the apples as seconds from a nearby orchard.
I love cabbage it's something I grew up eating my whole life. But I don't know why I just can't get past the bitter taste in Brussel sprouts my sister and I have consistently tried to make them different ways we're trying to get ourselves to like them but we both don't know what to do about taking away that bitter taste that they have
@@mamabairds that's okay I had a long day at work and you made me think so it's funny it was absolutely hilarious I would wait today's Tuesday is not Friday I thought it was so funny no worries
This year I have needed help with food and I have no way to get to the food bank we do not have busses or anything like that where I live in Texas.. I called for help and all they told me was we do not deliver. I don't have a car and I don't have friends or family anymore. I was out of work due to me dying twice and had to have 6 stents put in My legs and out of work for 5 months. Food Stamps office kept having me get more paperwork and then kept denying me. With no Income. I finally got back to work and they laid off my whole team week before Thanksgiving. I had potato's and onions for Thanksgiving.. I wish I could have gotten help like you have in your area
I did try that they told me to walk to the nearest bus stop that is 5 miles away.. I literally lol.. I tried to explain to that I was not physically able to do that. But on the Bright side of things today I was at the hospital (surgery check up) and they are going to help me. I enjoy watching your videos I am older than you but we are a lot alike.

I died at the "THATS WHAT SHE SAID!"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 We kill that here 🤣🤣
Ha ha, I caught that also. I had to rewind to make sure that's what was said. Hilarious Carolina!
I literally stopped to make sure that’s what she said lol😂
I had to think about that for a minute cause I thought did she really just say that 😂😂😂😂
Same 😂😂😂😂💀💀
My "naughty" side slips out every now and again! I miss all that when line cooking! Now I'll just share it with you guys!! Haha. It was a nice test to see how everyone would feel about that line! So happy you all enjoy my humor!!
I love watching you cook! Love how you use your blessings in such a neat way everytime. Your thankful heart is beautiful.
Aw thank you so much!!
"That's what she said" 😂
Haha!
Looks delicious! 😊. Love your videos and the love you show your family through your cooking 🧑🍳
Thank you so much 🤗
I'm going to need you to not throw in a "that's what she said" when I'm eating! I snorted and my life flashed before my eyes 😂😂
My baddddddd!! Haha!!
The tomato basil bread is sooooooo good! I got some one day at the food pantry and felt like it was my lucky day haha yummy haul!
I'm making bread crumbs out of it! That will be great on a pork chop!
You could take those bananas on the tortillas ,spread with peanut butter and drizzle honey! Usually a kid favorite! Even a sprinkle of granola for crunch if you like! From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤️
Oh good idea! They would love that snack!
I truly enjoy your videos! I was thrown out at 16 so there are so many things I didn't learn to cook and even at 59 your videos teach me without making me feel less then smart. Keep it up!
Thank you Jo Ann! I'm so happy I can teach others! Sounds like you had a rough start to life, I'm sorry!
Wonderful haul. The Ezekiel line is super good, healthy but expensive, so it's great you got a package of them. Once I tried eggs on my noodles, I never went back. I'm not a huge pasta fan but the eggs take the pasta to a whole new level. You did a great job!
I'll be making it again soon! The eggs just made it over the top for sure! Thanks Lauri!
I LOVE KELIS!!! ❤ she also has many songs about food and an album named after it. "midnight snacks" & "jerk ribs" 🎶 are a couple i like.
She is awesome and her class was amazing! She made me laugh and kept me entertained while teaching me!
Love watching you
Well thank you!! Thanks for watching!!
I am always looking for different things to eat due to the restricted diet I'm on being a diabetic and on dialysis so this is very yummy

The apples are so shiny and perfect
They really are!!
Love the haul and the meal!!
Thank you! It was so good!
I made it once and added frozen peas. Was very very good. I’m excited to see what you do with the yummy tomato basil bread🤤
Oh peas would be a good addition, thank you!
Yummy! The squishy sound as you were folding/stirring the pasta at the end with all the goodies in it, made my lips smack! Another great recipe and video.

A bushel is quite large that is a bunch of 🍌 bananas at 2:52 😂
It's equal to 8 gallons by volume not weight.
Oh!! Haha!! Thanks for letting me know! Words don't always come out the right way from me! Haha
I would have tried the panchetta with the brussel sprouts and garlic!
Oh that would have been good too!
The sheer volume of different types of breads available in the USA is mind blowing! I am wondering if that would contribute to the number of items being donated because customers can not decide what to buy or just simply can never buy that many options. Such an over production
That looks delicious! I would put some fresh chopped tomatoes on it. Thank you for dinner idea tonight. Brussel sprouts also look good. Love your channel.
Thank you Mona!!
I was scared to make carbonara because of the eggs too. Love it now though, and it's a meal the whole family will actually eat. Might actually have to make it asap, lol. Also a fan of Brussel sprouts! My kids love them. We season it like you did, but we also chop up bacon to cook with it. Yummo!
I'll be adding bacon next time, but they were really good! I've been eating the left over sprouts cold and they are still so good!
I think I would have skipped the pasta and made scrambled eggs. Fun to try a new recipe though. Thanks for the video.
Ya should've used the little potatoes from the hot food section into the pancetta n it would've been a breakfast bowl
Oh that would have been a good idea!!
I use Ezekial bread w tuna salad. Delsh.
I'll give that a try!
I make that pasta carbonara once in awhile. It’s delicious! I airways use bacon because that’s what I have. I was worried about scrambling the eggs my first time, too! Hope your family liked it!
They did love it! I'll be making it more often! Glad I just went for it even though I was nervous!!
Fantastic!! It all looks great. How did the kids and hubby like the dinner? Was tge ground beef from somewhere local?
The kids loved dinner! My son, Gideon, just loves bacon so "bacon pasta" was a hit! Haha. Yes the ground beef was locally raised! That's so amazing to find at the food bank!

Hey Carolina dinner looked yummy and that was a great pantry haul I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
Thanks Angela!! Hope you do as well! I haven't seen you in a bit! How are you and the kids doing?
@@mamabairds I have been around but usually I have been watching RUclips in the evening because I have been crazy busy during the day and I have a new medication that makes me very tired so when I am watching at night I don't comment as much because I am very tired once the holidays pass and life settles down I will get back to normal youtube watching during the day. But I watch all of your vlogs and know that if I don't comment I am still there.
Hey Mama! This looks delicious. You can make some really good stuff. I'm catching up on your videos. Have been super busy. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. ❤🦃🦃
Thanks Michelle, I hope you have a great Thanksgiving as well! What have you been up to?
All our store pumpkins get picked up and taken to feed Dairy Cow's to keep them disease free . Wonder if that help me? I made home made pumpkin pie with cream cheese cake on top so good . Then pumpkin cranberry bread, pumpkin log roll. And cookies with walnuts Christmas will be different but I'm changing to what we have now learning from your teachings. Times are very hard and Oregon raised the gas more almost a full $6.00 a gallon but over that if you drive truck.
Wow! Your gas is at $6 a gallon? I just got it at Costco here for $3.69 yesterday. It took forever for them to lower the price under $4 here. but $6 is crazy and you aren't that far away from me. All that baking sounds so fun!! I need to do some Christmas baking already! Thanks Sandy!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!!
Hi there! You have a great speaking/advertising voice! Reach out to more companies with a voice sample for advertisements. 👍🏾
Oh thank you!! I was super nervous for my first sponsor too! Glad it came out well!!
Oh my gosh Waffle House! We live In Oklahoma and love those scattered, smothered, and covered hash browns. You go girl with the new recipes. You are an inspiration! The leftover turkey with the tomato basil bread with melted cheese makes a great sandwich. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!
Oh that would be a great sandwich! You could use the cranberry sauce as the spread for it....oh yum! Husband and I were just talking about smothered, covered and diced hash browns! Haha. I wish we had one here.
You have a great voice for ads you should consider it and I love your channel.
Aw thank you Tracy!
I love carbonate although I've never made it. I hope you show us how to use an acorn squash. If you don't mind me asking, what do you pay rent for your place? Just wondering.
Yes I'll show you the acorn squash and what to do with it! I'm thinking a winter squash video and tackle a bunch of the different ones and what to do with them!
@@mamabairds sorry if it was inappropriate to ask how much rent you pay. I've just never heard of a homestead for rent & was curious.
The longer the noodle the louder the slurp…… that’s what she said 😮😂
Haha!!
#MamaBairdWatchAlong ❤
Soo happy to find an easy and can be made gluten friendly, carbonara, it's my absolute favourite ❤
Thank you my friend!
Look almost most 10k
AHHHHH!!!! I can't believe it!!
I always boil my Brussel Sprouts for 10 min then throw them in the oven
I bet that helps a lot! I'll do that next time! Thank you Lily!
@@mamabairds your very welcome
@@mamabairds you can also salt the water
I boil my Brussel sprouts for about 5 mins then bake them with bacon pieces. I am scared to make carbonara because of the eggs.
I'll try boiling them first next time! You should give it a go! It worked great and it was so good!
i wonder if you can make apple chips in the dehydrator
Oh probably! Good idea!
I slice cored apples with a mandolin & dehydrate with a sprinkling of cinnamon on top. I cut the slices in half so I can get more into a quart sealer that I vacuum seal with a FoodSaver attachment. My grandchildren love to snack on them and I’m happy to give them a a healthy snack with no chemicals or preservatives. I buy the apples as seconds from a nearby orchard.
I love cabbage it's something I grew up eating my whole life. But I don't know why I just can't get past the bitter taste in Brussel sprouts my sister and I have consistently tried to make them different ways we're trying to get ourselves to like them but we both don't know what to do about taking away that bitter taste that they have
I know what you mean. They aren't something I usually choose to get. Haha!
Oh yeah..If you add olive oil to your pasta it won't stick.
Good tip! Thank you!
It's 11:22 22 today's Tuesday not Friday you had me thinking there for a minute
Haha! Sorry I filmed it early that week! Haha
@@mamabairds that's okay I had a long day at work and you made me think so it's funny it was absolutely hilarious I would wait today's Tuesday is not Friday I thought it was so funny no worries
This year I have needed help with food and I have no way to get to the food bank we do not have busses or anything like that where I live in Texas.. I called for help and all they told me was we do not deliver. I don't have a car and I don't have friends or family anymore. I was out of work due to me dying twice and had to have 6 stents put in My legs and out of work for 5 months. Food Stamps office kept having me get more paperwork and then kept denying me. With no Income. I finally got back to work and they laid off my whole team week before Thanksgiving. I had potato's and onions for Thanksgiving.. I wish I could have gotten help like you have in your area
I'm so sorry my friend. Have you called 211? That is a good resource to see if there is anything else around you! Hope you get some help soon!
I did try that they told me to walk to the nearest bus stop that is 5 miles away.. I literally lol.. I tried to explain to that I was not physically able to do that. But on the Bright side of things today I was at the hospital (surgery check up) and they are going to help me. I enjoy watching your videos I am older than you but we are a lot alike.
HEY EVERYONE-LETS EACH $2 so we CAN GIFT CAROLINA A GOOD DEFHYDRATOR OR A FREEZE DRIER FROM US HER VIEWERS!! PASS IT ON!
what can i use in place of pancetta, i think thats too fatty for me (health issues)
i know u said bacon im looking for a leaner meat, maybe like a lean ham???
You could totally do a lean ham or candian bacon would be good.
