Hi Amber. 🌲What a good haul, you get a lot to work with but when it's done, it will feel good. I usually say that when I've baked, cooked jam, or cooked food and more and filled the freezer. Then I feel rich. Because the feeling of knowing that you have a little bit of everything is security, have a nice day, Birgitta 🌲🥰🌲
@@birgittacarlson7537 hi Birgitta!!!’ Yes plenty to be preserved and put away but it really is rewarding when all said and done… to be able to put up and have food for the future is always a nice feeling.
Blackberry jam, tomato jam, and don’t forget to zest the lemons before juicing them. Lemon zest on vegetables like asparagus and green beans is delicious. I store lemon zest in the freezer. Lovely haul this week 👏👏
@@sunnieJ7389 yes!!!! Tomato jam!!! I didn’t even think about that one. Thank you. Oh yes I will surely zest them first before juicing them. Thank you for the tips!!!
That cat food is very pricey at the store. Jam and jelly with the berries and grapes and some of the apples. Don't forget apple pie for Christmas. Thats about a years worth of lemons for, lol. I would be juicing them and canning also.
@@pawpawmike7372 right!!!! I normally get the cheaper more affordable food and when I saw that…. My kitties are going to be spoiled with this. I’ll probably mix it in with their existing food. Lots of canning and preserving to be done!!!! That’s a great idea!!! Apple pie with Christmas dinner
Wow how amazing . We here in Wisconsin do not get that much. Kind of sad ,as most are monthly or even quarterly here, income based. The local one I go to is a weekly run by a church and strictly relies on donations.u don't get much as the need is extremely high. U and your family are very blessed
@@audradrackley3338 yes, we and many others in my area are really blessed to have the food pantries that we do. I am sorry to hear that you don’t get that great of a bounty. If you were closer to me I would share with you.
Do a Forrest Gump with lemons - lemon juice, lemonade, lemon pie, lemon cake, lemon bars, jelly, lemon curd can be canned! But first, zest them, air dry and store it in jars to use in baking or on chicken, whatever! Oh, the raccoon is peeking in the back door. Still waiting on one cat to get in for the night.
@@bettyir4302 hahaha…. That is hilarious. I may just do a short just so I can do that!!!!!thank you for the tips. I will surely zest them first. So I get all the goodness from them. Waste not want not!!! Oh my a raccoon 🦝 hope the last kitty finally made its way in.
@@joannaazar7396 Hey Elizabeth!!! yes, this one has been outdoors since Covid hit and they will sometimes get a food truck as they call it a semi loaded with awesome goodies. I was so happy with everything we got. I brought some apples and blackberries to work this morning to share with others. Lots of love sent to you!!!
Too many… lol. Honestly if I count the strays that show up outside I have no clue how many I try to feed on a regular basis. I have 2 that I have rehabbed that I am rehoming!!!! That’s exciting to know that they are going to a good home.
Ignore that rude person amber! They must be new and have not watched any of your old ones because you explain your circumstances and try to help others.
Some are income based, and some are not. I have been to one that was income based and it was really nice but it is a bit far for me so I found the two that I go to and surprisingly they aren't income based.
Your kitchen makes mine look like a hovel. How can you afford those appliances. My cabinets are mismatched and probably 40 years old. They need to be replaced but that takes a lot of money.
Hello, Thank you for just asking questions and not being hateful as some can be. Yes my kitchen looks nice, I do my best to take care of it and the cabinets were painted by my husband and myself. They are originally a wooden color. As for the appliances, All except for the fridge are original to the home, so they are not new by any means and we are the second owners of the home which was built in 08. The fridge, unfortunately we weren't able to buy outright as.... you guessed it we cannot afford that. So I had to go with a company that leases it out which means we have a payment plan.... can you guess the interest on that. We have a roof that needs replacing as we have two holes in our ceiling so when it rains outside.... yep.... It rains inside as well. I understand it takes money. This is why we utilize the food pantry.
Let me get this straight..you have a stainless steel french door refrigerator and a double oven and you are pretending to be poor...this why I never donate to food banks.
@@leelaural let’s get this straight…. yes I have a French door fridge that also has a weekly payment from Aaron’s because the one that was in the house went out one night. And guess what… ih my… I can’t afford to purchase one out right so I went with one that has a payment plan…. Ohh and that’s not a double oven…. That would be a dream though…. It’s an in wall oven and a microwave…. That by the way was in this mobile home yep a mobile home would you ever guess it…when we purchased it… original to 2008…. So not new by any means. It’s called taking care of your things. Thrifting being frugal people can have nice things and still need the food pantry. Also let’s all hope that you do not judge this way in your day to day life. It’s sad that people like you are out there ruining the possibility of someone getting help. Just because you see someone with a nice vehicle or purse you can’t judge. They may be borrowing a vehicle or the purse was a gift. Also I’m not poor…. Anyone who has Jesus isn’t poor!!! I’m struggling and financially tight when it comes to the extras after paying bills.
Wow God is good!!! 🙏🏼❤️
Wow a great haul. 🎉 Enjoy
LEMONS!!! ❤❤❤

Hello Amber! I have a suggestion for the lemons. Van lemonade concentrate. I did and it turned out yummy.
Do a Forrest Gump with lemons - lemon juice, lemonade, lemon pie, lemon cake, lemon bars, jelly, lemon curd can be canned! But first, zest them, air dry and store it in jars to use in baking or on chicken, whatever!
Oh, the raccoon is peeking in the back door. Still waiting on one cat to get in for the night.

I can grapes and blackberries whole.
You can preserve lemons in salt for Moroccan recipes.
@@colettebishop2173 ohhh I will do some research. 🧐 thank you 😊
@MamaToAll it's a very easy process
Hey Amber
@@sollandernorman-rv7dd hello!!!!
Your hamster will enjoy a blackberry. Look up how to make sherbet - not the ice cream but candy from citrus fruit.
@@Rebecca-zp4gm oh nice!!! I will give him a blackberry this afternoon and see how he likes it. I will look that up!!! Thank you for the ideas.
Turn the pineapple upside down for 3 days. It comes out super good
@@joannaazar7396 thank you, I will turn it upside down… I’m assuming it allows the natural juices and sugars to move around…
I had to buy PB from walmart it has left our food banks
Ooh fabulous prizes 😂❤
@@inkheart1954 thank you 😊 it’s really was some great produce!!!!
Hey Amber!! We had an outside food pantry last year. There was a huge pickup truck with food. Sending lots of love from- Elizabeth Jersey ❤❤

It is also raining in southern New Hampshire.
@@queenbear4581I’m so over the rain….. it was 27 degrees when I left for work this morning…. Brrrr
Our food pantry is income based.
Some are income based, and some are not. I have been to one that was income based and it was really nice but it is a bit far for me so I found the two that I go to and surprisingly they aren't income based.
Nice pet food.
