Hi Carolina! You could make some fresh gnocchi with some of those potatoes…I bet your kids would gobble it right up😊
I go to a church once a month. I got 3 bags green grapes, 4 bags nectarines, 2 dozen eggs, potatoes, 3 bunches bananas, cucumber, pinto beans. We don't pick. They just give you items. There is a couple with 2 small boys next door that I always share with.
aww polenta. I'm from Argentina so it's a main dish here. You can make a tomato sauce like for spaguetti and use it in your polenta. I don't know a recipe because i make it by memory, but i can tell you, i make sauteed veggies like eggplant, tomato, onions and carrots, then add the tomato sauce. Boil half water half milk with a pinch of salt and butter, when it boils add the polenta and keep stiring, when it feels almost like a potato puree it's ready. If you have add some cheese (the more the better), serve the polenta with the veggies and the sauce, YUM. It's a hot dish, if you want make something cold there's recipes. You can make sopa paraguaya (This is a cold one, and heads up, it is not a soup). Here in Argentina it is winter, so this is a dish that i would make right now. Also you can add meat, i'm a vegetarian so i make mine like this (and add pepper and garlick too!) Bye!
How funny - our food giveaway had a bunch of the same dog treats....
I got a bunch of squishy tomatoes today too and am going to dice them shortly. The big score was about 3 lbs of strawberries - one of the volunteers dropped them on the floor. The person cleaning it up put them in the trash instead of compost - I grabbed the whole batch - will wash them good and freeze them for smoothies. (The trash can just had bags that we took off the produce so it was really pretty clean.)
I will get the pictures posted on the facebook page later tonight of everything I brought home.
I appreciate the way you explain the reasons for going to the food bank…a public service. 🙆🏻♀️
Really, half and half is half milk and half cream so it’s ready to go to make ice cream.
Black Coffee Roasting Co. - Laura is code 1811 at the Good Food Store. It’s not decaf and it sounds just wonderful to a fellow coffee lover. Medium roast with hints of black cherry, licorice, strawberry, northwest forest and owl sounds, Laura has found her way to my coffee bucket list. Have a great caffeinated day Carolina!
I'm so glad you showing people what goodness can be made from what is gotten from a food pantry. We have to do what we have to do. Hubby & i are on Medicaid & SNAP and i don't take it for granted. I even tithe off my SNAP and give food to the food pantry. Many Blessings to you!
Got to love watching Mama Baird while I am waiting to go inside my local Food Bank ❤
You are so right the resources that are poured into waste food is incredible. Glad to hear that you donate time at the food bank, keep up the good work.
Yes! Thank you!
I'm australian and my mum always cooked a lamb every Sunday, she just lavered it in minced garlic with rosemary, put it in the over with potatoes, chipped up pumpkin amd carrot, can't beat it ❤
You can take the basil and put it a jar with water take a stick to hold it up let the roots grow
Time to make potato hash pancakes or potato soup to freeze for the winter
That's a great load of food. Lamb benefits of being marinated for at least 24 hours, 48 is better but you can decide on that after you open, if it can survive another day or 2 in the fridge. Vinegar and some oil in a big bag, any spices you like, rub the meat around, zip as tightly as you can, turn over every few hours so all sides get marinated
Great score at the food bank. You could do lamb shish kabobs and use with the middle eastern mix with the olives and feta etc. Id eat it with pitas and yum, delicious dinner.
Wow, that is a wonderful haul. That garlic looks like elephant garlic which is actually from the leak family but has the garlic flavor. Most people grow elephant garlic because of the size.
Van the potatoes and green beans together for a quick meal just add polish sausage or meat in crock pot just before you too the food bank.
My mom would never say what was for dinner. It was partly a face saving measure. If we didn't know what it was supposed to be then we didn't know when something didn't work out and she had to start over!
Lamb is best well seasoned. Costco has great Australian lamb chops,which are my preference. Put slots with a knife and shove garlic cloves inside. Oil the outside and use tons of meat seasoning. Refrigerate overnight before roasting.
I told my 21 year old I had gone to the food bank. He actually had the nerve to tell me we are living in poverty because we live paycheck to paycheck & I did an application for section 8 housing. We wouldn’t even need these resources if inflation wasn’t so bad. Also, my husband almost died in a tow truck accident a couple years ago and he can’t physically do that job anymore. He had to re learn to walk etc. losing that job caused our income to go way down. He now makes in a month what he used to make in 2 weeks. My 21 year old makes it sound like we are living in the dumpster. Meanwhile, he’s barely making it himself and is about to be living in his car. 🙄
I’m truly sorry to hear that ❤kids these days 😮I hope he realizes it’s going to worse and you gotta do what you have to do 🙏🏾❤️
Don't let his words affect you! Everyone is doing their best in these tough times, and such an attitude means he never appreciated you. If he is such a smartass he should try to live by himself! 😂
@@izabela8547 yeah, I don’t even know where he got that attitude from bc he wasn’t raised that way. I have 6 kids and always have shopped at thrift stores etc. he also says I don’t know anything about life bc I have always been a stay at home mom. He just bounces around from place to place since I decided I was done with his ungrateful behavior. His current roommate has given him until January to move out. I told him he can’t come stay with us, I don’t even have room for him. So he said he’s going to be living in his car. We have let him stay here before but he had illegal substances here with my other kids & was very disrespectful. There’s nothing wrong with going to food banks & using other resources, I’m not ashamed of doing it and neither should anyone else be. 😊💕
Freeze dry mashed potatoes to make mashed potatoes in the winter . Same with onion if you can't use them both before they go bad. You can do that with the garlic to make garlic powder. You can make some Shepard pie and freeze to use some potatoes and onions up. Some twice baked potatoes and freeze . Just a few ideas.
I just 3 batches of steered tomatoes,zucchini relish,and pickles mixed veggies. And few more too going from aldi's.
One of my favorite vegetables is green beans. Didn't get any this year the deer and rabbits ate them. And they were to expensive to buy. Do hopefully next year I will have better luck
I got the bag cutter I like it a lot. What a great food bank haul!! Strawberry ice cream is always a winner. Have a blessed week 😊
I would definitely freeze dry some of the onions you could do diced up and then you could also blend up some to make onion powder.
You can roast the lamb with garlic 1-2 French onion soup packets. Once lamb is cooked you can make gravy out of the juices.
i diced my extra onions put themin small bags for small servings..i also started my winter soups by making potatoe soup and freezing it when i thaw it i will add the cheese and bacon,,very simple soup
I sometimes watch a dumpster diver family and the amount of perfectly good in date food tossed is ridiculous. All that food could go to a food bank. But they toss it out.
I watch the same kinda videos. I have watch dumpster divers go to goodwill and salvation army and donate able stores. They find perfectly fine things and food. It's crazy!
What’s the name of the family…now I want to watch too 😊
@@lynettelong4539try Freakin Frugal.
I'm a dumpster diver and I add to food pantries and donate to save from the landfill.
Curbside junkies.❤
If you have ground beef you could make homemade Salisbury steak! I use a lot of onions and skip the mushrooms if I don’t have any, I have potatoes on the side, I make the sauce homemade using better than bullion. So much better than frozen too! I freeze any leftovers :)
That's a great idea! Thank you!
When I was a kid, my mom would make potato cakes and sometimes add corn.
You can make cornmeal mush loaf too get for breakfast. I use my cheese loaf keeper lined with plastic then put it in a zip bag.
Mama Baird you make everything look so easy. I am glad you won an ice cream maker. Did you happen to do a video on that? I might have missed it.
It's my blueberry ice cream video!
Mmm. Tomato 🍅 that smells like basil! Tomato & basil are the chocolate & peanutbutter of the plant world!!❤ Love your video and positive attitude as always!😊
in the UK they are not allowed to give out anything that is out of date , i know people who haunt the skips behind the foodbank
Boy I wish I had a ice cream maker like the one you have! Everything is so Healthy for the Kids!!
You made out Really Good! I Love how you cross utilize ..No waste! I do the same thing! Everything is going to be DELICIOUS 😋😋😋😋. Love Your Channel!! And also how You teach People NOT TO BE ASHAMED - YOU LEED BY EXAMPLE! THANK YOU CAROLINA! ❤❤❤❤
I just got back from my food bank, very helpful ,love your videos
Wondering if you get a better pic of food since you're working at your food bank? That's the best haul I've seen so far! Enjoy❤️
I did not know you could freeze fresh tomatoes as is. Thanks for the tip Carolina. I learned something new today😊
Wow girl... you scored at the food bank!! It's awesome that you get to pack your own produce bag. I've never had lamb and I think the price tag $how$ me why. lol Where do I get in line for the enchiladas and ice cream??
With steak make fajitas you have the vegetables needed.
I LUVLUVLUV going to the Bread/Pastry Thrift Store! The price for 3 loaves of Bread/English Muffins/Bagels, etc., etc. used to be $ 3.00. Now it is 3 for $ 4.00. Still a STEAL, considering todays Grocery Store (through the ROOF) prices ☺️.
Spaghetti sauce or tomato bisque base. All it needs is some cream & you've got creamy tomato basil bisque yummy.
You could add some tomato sauce to the enchilada base to cut the spice factor maybe.
Hello my good friend like watching you and your family to God be the glory
Yes, I used to work for a grocery store. And the food that is thrown away is really crazy. Yes would be nice if it went for the homeless and us that are struggling. So hard
I cooked the lamb I got like a pot roast and it was so tender juicy and delicious.
You could can some of the potatoes so you have them for later.
When I get lots of onions I'll chop them up and put them in my freezer and I have them ready to use for future recipes
I love watching the hauls and what you do with it. 💝
Thank you! 😊
If you do the 30 minute pre-freeze it really does make a difference in the ice cream
Oh thank you! I didn't know about the prefreeze feature! Thank you Angela!
Love watching your channel ❤️
I didn't know you could freeze tomatoes. Thanks for the info.
You bet!
I dice up onions,slice some and put in freezer bags and put in freezer
I never thought of roasting all your tomatoes in oven to make the sauce. Love that!
You can also add roasted bell peppers or roasted jalapeno and then blend together, it's delicious 🤤
You can add one PKG of dryer spegetti sause to the mix
Straw berry bananas frozen pops smoothys
No ma’am I sugar my tomatoes. My mom always put sugar on. She said it cut the acid. You’ll have to try. That sure is delicious. My husband always did salt then when he tried the sugar he really liked it.❤❤❤
Cook your lamb with the Greek herbs so delicious and don’t forget garlic
Your video's are awesome! Nice score on the food haul👍Tip: When cutting steak or skirt steak, cut against the grain so you will be cutting into the muscle fiber and you will have a very tender bite. Thank you for sharing! :)
Good evening pretty Lady❤ I get our giant dog those at Costco when they go on sale. He loves them!
Costco really has some great things! Hope you are doing well!
Great haul and the food 🍱 looks delicious!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Grits NEVER Goes bad - they just put those dates on there because they have to per the law. And that is a Best By date not a Use by Date - so put it in an air tight container and it will last for ages.
Great tip! Thank you!
Half and Half is half cream and half milk…..😊
Hello! I actually just watched one of your videos, from a month ago, but I’m getting ready to watch this one, and just had to comment first. I would’ve commented on the other video I just watched, but I wasn’t sure if you would get it, being that it was a while ago. I just absolutely fell in love with you, and your channel. So fun, so wonderful, made me laugh, and something I truly believe in. My channel is transitioning a bit, to this sort of content. Would love it if you stopped by, and became part of the family, if you like what you see. Looking forward to watching more of your channel, and getting to know you better. ❤
Much love, ~Kelly 🦋
Your garlic was grown in the U.S. the ones that have white skins are grown in China....just a tidbit of info.
Those look wonderful, but I have always referred to this as "Wet Burrito" rather than enchilada. I guess it's all about the spelling. Still delicious though.
Cream of onion soup, onion casserole, french onion soup. Freeze your own O'Brian potatoes. Looks like fun! Grrrrreat hhhhhaul!
I have never cooked fresh green beans before could you please tell me how I got some from the farmers market
That cheese and olives mix will make a great grilled chicken pasta
Wow! What a haul! The meats are fantastic, but I’m even more excited about your produce! We love to stir fry green beans in olive oil/butter, minced garlic, and soy sauce. Still a little crisp and so good! From my grown kids and grandkids to even the babies. The tomatoes look amazing. How did you keep Betty Jan out of them?😂 That bag gadget is awesome!!! I’ve needed that my whole life!! The enchiladas look amazing! I need to go mate Sox after watching this video!!! Thanks for sharing, Carolina! Hope you’re enjoying your visit with your dad 🥰
Just an idea: get delicates bags for ea family members. Have them put dirty socks in the bag. Never lose a sock of have a basket full that need mated again. I have several for just us (hubs and I) so I can have one hanging (over the hamper, next to works too) for colors, one in the wash, and a spare in case I don’t finish the load. Also a set just for white socks. Wash day takes 5 minutes max to mate a weeks worth. I learned late, but better late than never!
MB, I'm right with you ! When I think of ALL THAT WASTE going to the landfill it infuriates me ! I'm glad your family is rescuing it from the landfill !!
I fry Polenta with green pork and toss an egg on top. It's so good
Oh that sounds really good! Thank you for sharing!
That loaf bread you can make sliced pizza or phily steak and cheese
Why do people put Salt on nearly everything? I live with someone who has kidney failure and the diet consists of as little to no sodium and potassium as possible. I have found that eating foods at their most natural has been a great experience and delicious!
Having never eaten the wraps you made, what is in the sauce?
Salt enhances flavors and brings everything together!
Veggies, egg roll ina bowl
Pot pancakes with onions, heavenly!!
Great haul!!!! I love how you use the food!!!!!😊
My mouth was watering BIG time! 😋 great recipes
Aussie lamb is the best! From Sydney Australia
The enchilada base looks like enchilada soup
Turn that steak into Philly cheese steak sandwiches you got some good things girl. I love watching to see what you come up with.
Oh that was delicious. That's great ice cream maker❤
Marinate is meat…Macerate is fruit😊. Love watching your cooking videos….well done❣️
Thank you 😋
Got alot of produce you sure can use. Also all the other food items for meals.
I love mama baird!! 🥰🥰
Thank you!!!
Haaa that sour cream amount made me laugh. That is 100 percent my husband with sour cream!!
P.S. Your Hair is SO SHINY ♥️💙💜♥️💙💜!!
Oh I love lamb yummy
I can't imagine going to a food bank unless absolutely necessary. As in not unless I have NO food at all. I feel like food banks should solely be for people who truly need it and it should be required for people to prove they actually NEED the food. I have seen people who works and have food stamps, wic and TANIF go to food banks when they only buy junk food and really do not need to go to the food bank! I have no problem with people on SSI, WIC and Welfare. I myself am on it. But it is just bad taste to receive all that AND go to the food bank when you have more than enough to feed your family.
I also, find it very bad taste for people to show off what they get from food banks when they CLEARLY don't really need it!
Food banks are only for when you have nearly nothing at all to eat! It is clear that you can afford to buy your own food and do not need to go to the food bank. That watch alone proves you do not need to take food that others truly need!!
If you only go to a food bank when you have no food at all, you waited too long. Times are rough. Most can't afford full priced food at the store, myself included. Going to the food bank helps stretch your grocery budget. You don't have to have zero food in your house to utilize the community resource.
Yes, my watch is very nice! If you'd like to see the video of it (where I got it for FREE to do a review on it) I'll leave that linked below!
Thanks so much for your comment! It really helps support my channel!

I feel the same way - that when I donate to food banks it is for the very poor. When you have property and chickens etc and all the other pantry basics in your house it does not seem you should utilize a food bank unless you donate to it when you are in surplus. But we don't actually know this lady's financial situation. We don't know what kind of cash flow she has. I am not sure what you are basing your assumption that she doe snot need the food to flow in from the bank for now. I was homeless and driving a fancy corvette! Clearly when I was buying the brand new corvette the year before I was well off and could afford it - but then I lost everything and it was the only thing I had left - was I to ditch it and have no way to get around or to try and find work? But yet I barely had a dollar to buy a taco meal and get three for a buck in those days. I hocked my wedding ring to afford some food. But if you had seen me at the food bank you would say "why should you be at a food bank you have a brand new corvette?" Just remember everyone has a story we don't know about and all is not always as it seems.
Dice and freeze the onions in a gallon ziploc bad.
Your cabinets look like mine. I rent too
Hi Mama Baird 🥰! I checked your Video "Description Box" in reference to Resources of where to start w/Food Bank info. A Bag Opener Link is the only listing I found. Can you direct/redirect me ☺️? (please advise, thnQ 👍).
Next time put toothpicks sticking out of the steak or turkey ones to tell them apart.
Remember vyou can leave the ice cream bucket in the freezer
Fried potatoes and onions! Yummy!
Hey Carolina! I just went to the foodlink in my area. I ended up with a lot of produce. I am canning or freezing most of it but i got a bunch of radishes and Brussel sprouts. Was wondering if you would happen to have any ideas to process them. Thank you!
Roasted brussel sprout is a great side dish 😊 I saw another yt cook radishes in slowcooker with meat as potatoes;)
Thank you!
Hi mama have you ever canned dry beans like pinto or great northern I get a. Bag every week I'd like to can some so I can just open a jar of all ready cook and ready to warm n eat do yoh know if you have hot cook them before you. Can. Them
Our local stores don’t donate food, they throw it away. How can we change that?
I hope you make your goals
Thank you Carolina
Great video and haul🎉❤ was good seeing your kids, they were acting like mine would in video lol 😂 😂😂😂
