Schwans is the company that delivers frozen food items to homes. I always loved their ice cream. Not sure why they changed their name but the new one isn't memorable. I could remember Schwans because they had a painting of a swan on the side of the trucks. They didn't go out of business but are sending their trucks to service 18 states but everyone can order and UPS will be used to deliver. They have been around more than 70 years and had been affected (like so many other businesses) with Covid and the last 2-3 years have been hard to overcome the reduction in business. I hope they are able to make a success of it.
Carolina the scene of the brook & stream is breath taking I just love the sound of water flowing it's so relaxing, what a beautiful place to bundle up & take a coffee to drink .. Merry Christmas to you all ! Still watching & enjoying each of your video's . Have a great Christmas week .
My husband and grandkids learn no more soda it's to high do there getting use to cool aid. Juice is gone up but it's very easy to make your own by boiling apple or pear and strainer it.
The matzo ball mix in the clearance section next to the coffees makes really good dumplings for chicken soup. The secret to a fluffy matzo ball is to use sparkling water or seltzer if the instructions call for water. If you get another chance to try it (on sale) I think you’ll like it.
We have a food pantry here but you can only go once a month. They have a sheet that you check what items you would like. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when we went. We got a 2 pound bag of frozen baby shrimp for salads, a ham, a package of hot dogs, and 1 can of chicken and 2 pouches of tuna for the meats. lots of cans of fruits and veggies. Stuff for pancakes and biscuits. Etc. We also got a $40 voucher for the local store and because it was the Christmas week we got a $20 voucher for the local thrift store. Hubby got two sweaters, I got a pair of thermal pajama pants. We got two puzzles. 1 Chimney for a candle light. A little basket made of chicken wire that holds three votive candles. A wicker basket perfect for the cat to curl up in and a few Christmas decorations! When we went to the store I took advantage that the butter was still on sale for $2 a pound and got 4 more packages!
Watching you smell the deodorant made me laugh! A few years ago I was in Walmart and wanted a dove deodorant. I was taking off the lids and smelling them. One in particular was the one I wanted but when I took the lid off and sniffed, I was hit with the unmistakable stench of BO! Lol. Knocked me back a few feet!
Yes, that is how I taught my kids about orderves and orderve platters. I made them at home and taught my kids how to pick one of teach on a small plate, head to the table and eat for a snack before the main meal. It was a teaching moment for me.@@mamabairds
Omg your face trying the new food was priceless! 😂 your braver than me! Letting the kids have cake for breakfast is awesome! Glad you’re not afraid to share that. Sometimes it’s just nice to indulge kids “dreams” 🤗
I let my kids have dessert for breakfast sometimes with a glass of milk why not, donuts are considered breakfast food? And pumpkin pie is a vegetable 🤣
omg you get so much at your food bank. I wish we could get all you get. I been wishing for pumpkins for months and nothing :S Great haul and shopping trip.
Yup... my husband is an "Old Spice" guy too! And the "gel" type for deodorant! Oh wow Schwan's ... I remember it being a BIG treat getting push pops from them as a kid. My aunt would get them! I have canned pumpkin chunks (not puree) and frreeze dried plain pumpkin and already mixed pie filling... have videos on both processes... I plan to reconstitute the puree for my grandbaby or add to pasta sauces!
The first can you opened was inarizushi, they are bean curd wrappers. If you careful take them out of the can, you will see that they are little pockets. Each one opens to a little pocket which you stuff with sushi rice. Which makes inari sushi. Very delicious and one of my favorite types of sushi.
The home delivery food company Schwan's technically did not go out of business the family sold a portion of it in 2018 but kept the home delivery portion of the company & then last year the family rebranded the name Schwan's as Yelloh. I thought you were fibing because I just got a home delivery from them 3 days ago
Idk in my state Ma if you pay for it and the price ifs under 10 they have to give it to you for free. If it's over 10 then it's half of the price. Check your store policy....always pay for it and go to the services desk bc it only works if you pay for the item. Love your videos❤
Very nice foodbank haul! What a nice surprise to get the gift card. Really helped with non-food items. Like Holly said…I too was expecting the liver face, especially after the first big whiff you took. I just love the river shots you got. Just gorgeous. I kept saying “not too close, don’t fall in again” Very beautiful. I still say you missed your calling as a photographer! Merry Christmas, Carolina..much love to you, Husband and the kids 🥰
lol the look an your face! You look scared trying the bean curd item. The other thing is greek and basically just seasoned rice in grape leaves. I actually have some on the shelf that I bought! I am so impressed with you Carolina I love that you tried it. I find it interesting how so many people dislike food they have never tried before lol!
Interesting new foods for the food bank. Tofu looks like a common Japanese snack covering but never seen it in a can. (Seattle area gets the real thing fresh.)
That pineapple orange coconut juice is a wonderful salad dressing when you add a bit of olive oil, vinegar and salt and pepper. Yummy. You are smart for shopping the mark downs first with your gift card. Pretty cool. I would have gotten the Manuka Honey,because it's so expensive, wonderful. wonderful.
That was a nice gift card for you to get other things you needed. Is it schwan's that you are talking about by any chance? You can can pumpkin puree and those apricots are awesome little snacks-my girls love them.
I never knew about bean curd or the graped leaves. I think the veggie straws and how they are similar to the chips so since you favored them im going to try them..What dip would you suggest and did the kidsos enjoy the 🎂. Great Haul ❤❤❤❤❤
Schwan's...and i suspect their prices ran them out of business. Last time i ordered (10 years ago?) A half gallon of raspberry rumble ice cream was over $5. Heaven only knows how much it was when the closed.
They had a cheesey tator tot my daughter loved. We always order also back in the day. No where else ever came up with anything comparable. Was always expensive but, made us happy.
Hi Carolina , Fiona from Australia here again . I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas . Loved the beginning of your video again , thankyou for taking the time to make it so special , i get such a kick out of seeing your surroundings. I go to a food bank and a discounted food shop and im with you on foods that are past their best before date , its one of the reasons i love your videos . I know people that throw food out if its past its best before date and its such a waste but i also understand thats its a phobia that is hard to break. My daughter was like that and i have slowly changed her mind and now she knows how much food she has thrown out. Now she saves so much money when buying discounted food. Sorry for the long story but i just enjoy watching you so much , you brighten my day and i needed to tell you . Thankyou !! xo PS(if you ever get the chance to have homemade Dolmas (Dolmades) they are delicious and easy to make if you can find the grape leaves. There are a few countries that have their own version but i prefer the Greek ones , meat or vegetarian).
Momma B, the grape leaves you can gently warm up in the microwave for a few seconds on a plate and then throw little lemon juice ontop.a few sprinkles.. It freshes the canned ones up. ❤ They congeal a little in the can so rhe flavors are often a little odd at first.😊
They did not go out of business. You can still order from them. They are just going to be shipping it packed in that special ice stuff. They just shut down their home delivery truck side of the business.
Your face was priceless. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Great 👍 job again, Carolina. You never disappoint. Love 💕 and Hugs. ❤❤❤
have bought from schwanns for years...when they changed their name, they got rid of almost everything we liked...the reason we ordered every week...so....no more. it is to bad...we loved the things we liked...
That gift card was a nice surprise. Too funny about you picking the scent for Husband's deoderant. 😂 Nice food bank haul too. I thought we were going to see your liver face again when you opened the stuffed grape leaves😂😂😂. You do very well trying new things...much better than I would!!!!
That was a really nice little food bank haul.! You are definitely a lot braver than I am when it comes to trying stuff out of a can that you've never heard of! Hahaha. And I must say I really like the way your hair looks when it's pulled back like that. You're a gorgeous young lady! Thank you for sharing another excellent video Caroline! Always look forward to the next one!
I was able to catch the replay and I wanted to tell you what I got for my Christmas food bank haul. 11+# bone-in spiral ham, potatoes, Stovetop stuffing, 2 cans each of green beans, carrots and sweet corn, a large can of yams, a bag of mini-marshmallows, 2 1#packs of ground wild game (hoping it's venison) it's not marked specifically saying it just says wild game. A package of prucheta(sp¿), some French white soft cheese, a bag of 4 apples, a double box of stovetop stuffing and a can of jellied cranberry sauce, a jar of roasted garlic turkey gravy, a box of no bake brownie bites mix...I made them today so I'll try them tomorrow to see how they taste, a ziplock bag of white flour, 2# bag of white rice and a bag of stocking stuffer items for my granddaughter and a ziplock bag of broken up lg chunks of dark chocolate. Merry Christmas to you and your family and a Happy New Year!🎄🎁🎅🫂❤️
Ohhh please be careful with the dark chocolate there is a recall country wide in every state Please please be careful I sure don't want anyone being sick on Christmas especially not from a special treat please check it it's for ALL DARK CHOCOLATE ALL STATE'S I wouldn't eat it myself!!! Happy Holidays!!!! Many Blessings to you and your family!! Stay Safe!!! ❤ Elle on husband's account almost 40 yr marriage ❤
I don't know the context of your situation here, but why would you want to Vlogg something like that? I can understand the cooking and preserving part... but going to a food bank?@@mamabairds
It is a part of my life and it helps me be able to feed my family. Maybe someone else that is struggling and has been unsure to go to one, will see my videos and will feel better about going or needing to go. Some also don't know a food bank is for all of the community not just the homeless and destitute. So, I do hope me showing what I get at my local food bank will help others.
I feel like if someone really needs it then they will go, The problem with Vlogging it like this is that it promotes it, and the more people that use it, the more they will take away from someone who is in dire need, to me it looks like you are using it to sumplement rather then out of neceissity but I don't know your situation.. I also notice you are in the states so maybe it's different down there, but up here in Canada we have a huge problem with internation students using it to save money rather than because they need too, this has caused supply issues and many of our food banks are running out of food because of it. Once again, It's for the community yes, but I feel like promoting food bank use through videos will have some potential unintended concequences.@@mamabairds
The food waste here in the states is insane. So much food gets thrown away and a lot of people don't utilize a food bank when they should (low on income, high bills, food inflation, college student, disabled) because they feel like others need it more than them. Than others don't go because they think others' need it more than them and then neither go and the food gets thrown away. So, yes, I do promote and encourage others that are in a situation like mine ( working family, renting, living paycheck to paycheck) that the food bank is there to help them as well. You don't have to have no food in your house to go to a food bank. I know I wouldn't be able to feed my family as well as I do, if it wasn't for my local food bank. I want that help for others' as well. Hopefully this helped clear things up and thank you for having a conversation with me about this! It's important to talk about!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!!! Many Blessings to you all!!! Thank you for sharing your haul!! God Bless!! ❤ Elle on husband's account almost 40 yr marriage will be 40 yrs on the 29th of this month!!!!
It wasn't moldy! Are you talking about the white spots? That was part of the filling that came out. It wasn't spoiled! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! Congratulations on your marriage! !
The fried bean curd is what my daughter called pillows as they would be stuffed with rice. We lived in Japan for many years as I worked as a federal employee overseas. I’m retired now and miss many of the experiences I had living in Japan, glad to see you trying some Japanese food.😊
It's our pet names for each other. He calls me Wife. It started as a newly wed thing and we just never stopped! If I call him by his name, he is in trouble! Haha
Nearing the 20k subscribers! Wonder if you'll cross over before the New Year, well-done and all the best to you and your wee ens along with hubby! From Sydney 🦘 I did pick-up my Xmas food hamper yesterday seperate from everything else, it is 2 massive boxes and a large bag of everything for your bathroom needs, they also gave $40 gift cards for the major food stores. Which all comes in handy now!
Do you have a speech impediment? I’ve noticed in lot of your videos you have trouble with certain words or stumble over your words. but the main part that stuck out to me was when you had trouble saying the word rotini @13:26 noodles almost like a stutter.

Cool how the water rushes under the snow and ice.

Your establishing shots are the best! Such beautiful nature surrounds you!
Thank you very much! I live in a breath taking place!
I love your welcome plaque with the greenery it is very pretty. The greenery looks very nice with it.
Thank you! 🤗
My husband and grandkids learn no more soda it's to high do there getting use to cool aid. Juice is gone up but it's very easy to make your own by boiling apple or pear and strainer it.
You are one brave lady!
So pretty looks like where I live, minus the snow we had some but, it rained and it melted.
I love that you made cake for breakfast I love dolmas it’s delicious when made fresh but it’s good cold
Thank you for showing us such beautiful scenery!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That's sure a pretty river scene.

The frozen creek was beautiful 😍
I LOVE stuffed grape leaves. I place them on a platter with fetta as an orderve platter for the holidays.
@justcallmesuzzie
Merry Christmas, Suzzie 🥰
I can see that being very good! Thanks Suzzie!
Yes, that is how I taught my kids about orderves and orderve platters. I made them at home and taught my kids how to pick one of teach on a small plate, head to the table and eat for a snack before the main meal. It was a teaching moment for me.@@mamabairds

Yes I agree! Let the kids be kids as long as possible! Haha
I let my kids have dessert for breakfast sometimes with a glass of milk why not, donuts are considered breakfast food? And pumpkin pie is a vegetable 🤣
I saw a quick gravy recipe the other day. One can cream of chicken soup 1 packet of brown gravy mix and a can of chicken make chicken gravy.
omg you get so much at your food bank. I wish we could get all you get. I been wishing for pumpkins for months and nothing :S
Great haul and shopping trip.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!🎄🎅🏻💜
when in doubt throw it out. You are great. I have a sensitive digestive system
You could make pumpkin puree, and dehydrate it to powder.
Great idea!
I really admire your bravery for trying those things
Thank you!
Yup... my husband is an "Old Spice" guy too! And the "gel" type for deodorant! Oh wow Schwan's ... I remember it being a BIG treat getting push pops from them as a kid. My aunt would get them!

Add Lemon juice to the Dolmas ( Stuffed Greek Grapeleaves) ....Prnounced Dol .. mas ... ok yes chill first or warm Dont use oil it comes in !!

Merry Christmas to you and your family.🎄

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
I love cutting them up and putting in oatmeal. yummy
apricots
Oh good idea! Thank you!
Hey pretty Carolina ♥ my hubby likes old spice currently he is using swagger! It smells pretty good!
It's so good! Haha! Love me some good smelling Husbands!
Nice, I love Lakeside beef! Great for sloppy Joes.
The beef really is so good!
Schwann's is the one in our area.
Schwan's...and i suspect their prices ran them out of business. Last time i ordered (10 years ago?) A half gallon of raspberry rumble ice cream was over $5. Heaven only knows how much it was when the closed.

Omg your brave you seem to eat just about anything is there anything you won't eat
I'm not sure! Haha. I live by the, try anything at least once, motto!
Everything is so expensive especially the deodorants.
Momma B, the grape leaves you can gently warm up in the microwave for a few seconds on a plate and then throw little lemon juice ontop.a few sprinkles.. It freshes the canned ones up. ❤ They congeal a little in the can so rhe flavors are often a little odd at first.😊
Thanks for the tip!
Where u live is beautiful ❤
I live in Cali
It's always 70 degrees
More or less
I miss iowa ❄️
Merry Xmas ❤
I think that Schwan's (now Yelloh) is still in some states.
They did not go out of business. You can still order from them. They are just going to be shipping it packed in that special ice stuff. They just shut down their home delivery truck side of the business.
Oh good to know. Thank you!
Morning Mama baird happy Friday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
Thank you so much!
Your face was priceless. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Great 👍 job again, Carolina. You never disappoint. Love 💕 and Hugs. ❤❤❤
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you as well!
Schwans I think was the company name
have bought from schwanns for years...when they changed their name, they got rid of almost everything we liked...the reason we ordered every week...so....no more. it is to bad...we loved the things we liked...
That gift card was a nice surprise. Too funny about you picking the scent for Husband's deoderant. 😂 Nice food bank haul too. I thought we were going to see your liver face again when you opened the stuffed grape leaves😂😂😂. You do very well trying new things...much better than I would!!!!
That’s so funny because I was totally expecting the liver face 🤣 Much love and Merry Christmas, my friend! 🥰
@NannyTam Thank you Nanny, you made my night. Merry Christmas to you too 😘
@@HollyHobbie-ll8nq Made my night to see you too, Holly ❤️
I love that the liver face is a thing!! Haha! I do love trying new things! Hope you had a wonder Christmas Holly!
That was a really nice little food bank haul.! You are definitely a lot braver than I am when it comes to trying stuff out of a can that you've never heard of! Hahaha. And I must say I really like the way your hair looks when it's pulled back like that. You're a gorgeous young lady! Thank you for sharing another excellent video Caroline! Always look forward to the next one!
Thank you my friend! I hope you had an amazing Christmas!
I think it turned to online ordering only when covid started and now they are just gone. My ex use to work for them years ago.
I wear Old Spice myself. I just prefer the smell and quality of men's deodorant and I don't care to pay a pink tax.
Tofu is soybean curd.
Have you tried lentil recipes. They are delicious!
I need to do that! Maybe for my pantry challenge this month!
I was able to catch the replay and I wanted to tell you what I got for my Christmas food bank haul. 11+# bone-in spiral ham, potatoes, Stovetop stuffing, 2 cans each of green beans, carrots and sweet corn, a large can of yams, a bag of mini-marshmallows, 2 1#packs of ground wild game (hoping it's venison) it's not marked specifically saying it just says wild game.

What an amazing Christmas food bank haul!! That is amazing that they do that! Merry Merry Christmas my friend!
Oh man! I didn't hear about this. Thanks for mentioning it!
I wonder if dried veggie would go well with ramen noodles
Oh I bet they would!
Beautiful
Thank you!
Old spice gave my wife chemical burns :((((( but it smells so gooodddddd
Cake for breakfast is the best!!
Merry Christmas, Jupiter 🥰
It really is!! Kids were happy!
I'm not happy with the Yelloh. When it was Shwann you could use snap food stamps to buy things. Now you can't.
Oh I didn't know that! I would be unhappy as well. Maybe that's why they went out of business...
Wow looks kinda weird 😂
are you Vlogging going to a food bank here?
Yes. Plus, ways you can cook and preserve the food you receive from one.
I don't know the context of your situation here, but why would you want to Vlogg something like that? I can understand the cooking and preserving part... but going to a food bank?@@mamabairds
It is a part of my life and it helps me be able to feed my family.

The fried bean curd is what my daughter called pillows as they would be stuffed with rice. We lived in Japan for many years as I worked as a federal employee overseas. I’m retired now and miss many of the experiences I had living in Japan, glad to see you trying some Japanese food.😊
It was pretty good! My husband would love to go to Japan some day!

Girl…I’ve never had dolmas that smelled that bad, lol. You need to have a boundary about spoiled food, you’re gonna make yourselves sick.
The dolmas smelled bad as in weird not spoiled! It had a best buy date of '22 so it wasn't bad!
Why do you call your husband, husband and not by his name?
It's our pet names for each other. He calls me Wife. It started as a newly wed thing and we just never stopped! If I call him by his name, he is in trouble! Haha
Nearing the 20k subscribers! Wonder if you'll cross over before the New Year, well-done and all the best to you and your wee ens along with hubby! From Sydney 🦘 I did pick-up my Xmas food hamper yesterday seperate from everything else, it is 2 massive boxes and a large bag of everything for your bathroom needs, they also gave $40 gift cards for the major food stores. Which all comes in handy now!
Wow! That's amazing for you! Hope you have a great holiday!
Do you have a speech impediment? I’ve noticed in lot of your videos you have trouble with certain words or stumble over your words. but the main part that stuck out to me was when you had trouble saying the word rotini
@13:26 noodles almost like a stutter.
I don't think so!
Merry Christmas
