Cupboard rummaging husband, you say!?! Well l never! The nerve, ma'am! Okay. Guilty guilty, guilty. All of your ideas and excellent advice are relevant and useful, no matter the size of your household. I don't think your mind ever goes offline, does it. Often overloaded, but never idle. Thanks for making time to stay in touch and sharing this. Take a breath and take care of your family. Nobody is going anywhere. ❤
Quick nachos was a life saver for my large family, I always had baked pita triangles, sour cream, frozen or fresh guacamole ( depending on season) large jar of salsa and grated cheese, almost became “entree” as I put together whatever was in slow cooker / air fryer for dinner. The kids felt safe knowing food was a priority when we all got home. Kept arguments at bay, and encouraged chatting in the kitchen hearing about each others day.
I love the garden and farm content! I want to see where the food in your kitchen comes from. even the title of your channel tells us there will be farming type activities 😊Thanks for bringing a smile to my kitchen.
This video will be of help to many teenager mums. Who does not know the feeling of just doing full trolley shopping and your teenagers come home , often with some friends open the fridge and go trough it like there is no tomorrow. Thank you. Cheers
Stacey, I would love for you to do a “ what to cook in the air fryer” video. I have one but actually rarely use it because I’m not sure what to do with it! Lol 😂 love your videos! ❤
These tips are also great for us single people who occasionally get a bit lazy and reach for the store bought snacky foods. 😄 I love watching your videos. It gives me a kick up the bum and motivates me into getting back into home cooking (and prep work). ☺
I don’t eat out or eat convenience junk food, my kids are grown and I still do these things for myself !!! I love to cook but I love to have a quick homemade snack or meal in the freezer for when I’m busy with other stuff ! One of my favorite that you didn’t mention is breakfast burritos, soft scrambled eggs, a breakfast meat, cheese and salsa wrapped in a tortilla shell. Wrapped individually they are a quick heat in the microwave or in a skillet (for that crunchy shell). Ingredient choices are endless. These ideas are so much cheaper and healthier than store bought junk and can save a lot of frustration in the home with hangry kids :)
This info is even great for single adults, or adults that like to snack. It's so much healthier to have a home made treat that's quick and easy. This was great, thanks Stace! Are the grandbabies here yet? Love & BIG HUGS!!!
I made your pre made frozen pizza’s , calzones and they were delicious . I used to always have mini quiches and sausage rolls frozen for my kids , easy to reheat , I was happy to constantly bake biscuits and slices as well .
A big welcome to the world, little ones! A great place to hang out is grandma's kitchen. Right before sitting down to watch, I put a bowl of pimento cheese in the fridge. Easy to plop a spoonful onto bread. Pimentos are expensive so sub diced red bell pepper. Microwave some pepper pieces a few seconds to soften. Much more budget friendly. Also, have a 97 cents USD homemade yogurt for an easy breakfast. Or nuke a couple quesadillas (cheese on a tortilla). Yes, to teaching kids to cook and other life skills.
Love all the ideas Stace. Funnily enough, I was wrapping sandwiches the other day and was trying to remember how you did it. Then up comes this video! Thankyou.
When my son was a teen he would stomp in and start foraging cupboards, not for himself but for others. He'd say, "What of this don't we need?" I'd just say whatever you're willing to do without. He'd load it up and out the door he'd go to get some kids a meal that didn't have one. Nice ideas for grandmas/great grandmas too!
@@FarmersWifeHomestead He has a good heart and truly cares about others. He is at 45 years old now involved in work that is centered on helping the people who most need someone to care.
If you have some ready made snacks and meals your budget will take less of a beating. I had a son who would make a pizza but be over generous with the toppings. And you can use up leftovers that might not appeal to a hungry teen in its leftover state. An apple muffin is more likely to eaten than that one going soft apple would. Plus you can add a bit of bran etc for more nutrition. We all have ideas, lets share them. Food is never going to get cheaper and teens will always have an appetite.
Thank you, great ideas. This weekend the weather is supposed to be not so great so I’m going to make up some toastie sandwichs for the freezer. For my husband and his sandwich press at work.
Lmao!!!! Ohhhhh Stacey your video intro was singing to the choir here, the "nothing to eat" cry is all too familiar! My kids won't cook anything beyond the microwave or the air fryer most of the time...although I am slowly easing my younger son into using the oven. It's a never ending battle to find easy ways for them to keep their tummies filled without the junk eh. My kids loved it when I made up single serves of mac and cheese and had them in the freezer, and we did our version of MKR too. I'd make the same bread dough or cookie dough etc and they would get to add their own variations to it.
Hi Stacey - new subscriber here. I've just seen the video where you ask for money saving tips. Many years ago I lost my job and didn't have a clue what to do but then I saw a video where they mentioned a book called The Tightwad Gazette. That book changed my life. I still flip through it occasionally. Now I've found your channel and I'm so excited to watch a few more each day as I catch up!
Do like the Italians makes a batch of tomato sauce and freeze in small portion blocks microwave sauce while cooking pasta, or even cook whole packet of pasta like penne or butterfly type, mix with tomato sauce devide into 5 or 6 individual portions and freeze. Just microwave when needed. Do same with cheese sauce with ham chopped into it, use macaroni. I freeze the portions with pasta directly into soup bowls with handles then dip bottom of bowls in hot water 20 seconds and it pops out like a pasta block which I put in large bags, back in freezer. When ready to eat use same bowl with handle which fits perfectly. Pop in microwave when coming in from work, go get changed/unpacked,/showered and dinner is waiting warm in microwave when done.
If I had teen kids (I don't have children) I'd stuff my freezer with homemade mini pizzas ready to bake in the oven, home made hot pockets/turnovers. Those are so easy to pick out and heat up, even for a lazy teen 😁Great after school snacks. I'd also keep some one serving of their favourite soups in the freezer so they could heat it up in the microwave.
Yes, I remember those days when I had my teenagers at home, all I heard was that!! There's nothing to eat😅 you always need to be thinking & planning ahead to keep them fed. I had both mine in the kitchen from an early age so that as they got older they were able to fend for themselves if I wasn't there. Also being a single mum definitely couldn't afford takeaways.
The good old Bacon and Egg pie was a favourite for my teenagers, also turned them into muffin size ones using my muffin tins. Super convenient for school lunches and after school snacks and they take minutes to make.
Oh I so resonate with your first comment. I used to say that unless my kids found a pie Warmer in the cupboard or fridge with ready to eat food...there was nothing to eat 😅. Stuffed baked spuds were great, ready made toasties, and in winter i had soup in fridge they could heat easily after school, when I was at work. Biscuits went nowhere on a now 6ft 4 young teen. They also both learnt to cook quick easy stuff like pasta with chilli n garlic, poached eggs, microwave scrambled eggs. In summer they loved making ..what we called whizzy..which was frozen fruit, like berries or bananas, milk, bit of icing sugar...comes out like ice cream. Actually they are both amazing cooks now. Nothing like hunger to create a good cook. 😊
Great ideas . I had 3 hungry teenagers and found it hard to fill them up . Scones and vegy soup after school in cold weather and pancakes in the summer. This is a great video thank you .
What a great video Stacey. I used to try and get something ready for my kids when they got home from school, in winter, a toasted sandwich or soup or sometimes both. My girls were always ravenous when they got home from school. I always had something for them to grab and eat though. I never, ever had enough freezer space to make a lot and freeze. That’s why I always made sure I made stuff each day for the kids to have, my kids would play hard and be always hungry, always ate whatever was put in front of them too and loved helping out in the kitchen as well. So did my boys too, they all learned how to cook, basic stuff anyway, they would never starve cos they could cook enough to not b3 hungry. My oldest boy does all the cooking for his family, comes home from work and cooks dinner for his wife and their 6 children and my other boy i# a chef, manages a pub and is actually now the licensee of the pub. TFS Stacey.
@FarmersWifeHomestead Yes, they are very helpful to me. I can learn new recipes, a little more about Kiwi culture and they also help me with my English. I am Brazilian and I live here in Queenstown. Congratulations on your dedication in always bringing us something new.😊🤗🇧🇷🇳🇿❤️
Prep makes less money but up front planning for you makes convenient and more healthy for the teens. When our kids were home I tried to make double batches of things and individually freeze. Microwave was ok if I was working.
Our house has lots of ingredients but no food. So hard to keep hungry teens (and husband) happy without buying junk food. Some great ideas as always Stacy. Could you do some lunchbox fillers for younger children as well please.
@@Nelsiemum I used to make sausage rolls with actual sausages rolled in pastry. They are super cheap and so delicious, everyone loves those, and mini bacon and egg 'pies' in muffin tins...you can change them up with different ingredients like chicken, cheese and onion....anything you like really as long as egg is in there to help it set. I also made muffins using homebrand cake mix and a medium size tin of fruit(what ever you like)....juice and all...mix together and bake. No egg or milk needed.
Hi from Aussie! I love seeing your cooking and I love cooking too - my problem is having ideas for what to cook and not make it the same meals all the time - do you have any cooking recipes that you can print out or buy? 🙏👍
I make up batches of sausage rolls and cheesy rolls for late night snacks and also my teen likes baked potatoes, which if cooked then frozen only takes 5 mins in air fryer to re cook
Its 5:45am the 16 yr.old was gaming all night (home-schooled if he keeps up with schoolwork I'll take it) he wants 3 tuna sandwiches 2cans mayo with hot peppers,relish,onions,S&P,Cayene pepper on the side chunk cheese on crackers with a whole bunch of cherries and the giant glass of milk, the 13 yr. old wants breakfast food before the bus comes for in-school attendance. Good Morning
I don't think you mentioned this one, so I'll add it. When our boys were teenagers I'd make huge slow cooker meals like chilli con carne and put individual servings of leftovers with rice in takeaway containers in the freezer. They loved to pull them out and microwave them as snacks while I was at work. Now my grandkids are doing that thing where they open our fridge and say there's nothing to eat! My granddaughter loves baking with me, but she still can't understand why the fridge isn't full of bought snacks.
If it sticks to their ribs its a keeper on the menu-2 teens left to go living with grandma, at 68 the workload didn't get lighter it got heavier. Bigger clothes, heavier loads, more gallons of milk and bulk buying-BUT THEY ARE HEALTHY, eating from scratch will do that =)
Congratulations Nana, Just watched your Christmas utube. Wrote down the recipe for the chicken bacon roll you made. Do you remember the baking times and temperature by any chance. I do the old fashioned way and write down as you say.
I recall my cousins, all boys, could walk past the fridge, never slowed down, but apparently just vacuumed up any food not nailed down. Could always tell when a growth spurt was building as they chubbed out then shot up. My nephew did that, too, topped off at 6'4".
Good morning Stacey, and others watching. Stacey, have you baked bread with your sourdough? If you do, seems if i have missed it! Will watch this video later in the day. Be blessed everyone. Greetings to all from South Africa🎉🌺💚🙏🙏🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I was expecting you to mention your yummy looking pastry bases that you fill with egg mixture etc. I have purchased the gluten free pastry in a pack & that is as far as I have gotten! Can't rush these things!! They are something that had I known about when my kids were budding teenagers I would have mass produced as they are not only healthy but with bought pastry quick to make up. I can't think why I had never seen them made as they are far nicer than frankfurts on a stick with sauce, or even mini sausage rolls or pies, no hang on, I loved the mini meat pies by Nanna as they didn't have a lot of wasted pastry & were genuinely full of meat! But no, for some reason no one made the little bases with fillings in them!! I used to make the slices for functions & they were all snapped up so I always came home with empty containers. Same with my cakes. 😆
Hi Stacy , just wondering what happened to your sour dough journey. Your video Inspired me to get interested in sour dough. I know you were ill shortly after making your starter, or maybe I missed the video.
I laughed out loud at the "there's nothing to eat" as a mother of 6 and grandmother of so many,22 I think.How many times have I heard that wail.Just tickles me to hear it from another mother and grandmother.
I am on a really tight budget currently. My go to currently is basic food like noodles as an easy go to or Easymac...but have started to make food for lunches and after school. One recipe is a muesli slice that I use about a cup of peanut butter, one tablespoon of honey, one tablespoon of coconut oil, then heat to make it runny, then add about two cups of oats, the kids are fussy so I also add cocoa to make them chocolate flavoured and add some choc chips... put it in a lined tray and put in fridge, then I slice it up and line an old tin I recycled and put them in there and pop in the fridge. I also make egg, cheese and ham bites in my muffin tin. I also use the muffin tin to make mini apple pies which are very easy with the left over apples the kids decide then no longer want to eat. I make banana bread from the old bananas, and also biscuits and cupcakes, but less often as I want healthier food for them. Thank you for sharing. I will now be looking at freezing more food because we are getting the "there is nothing to eat" on a regular basis currently....thank you for your tips.
i had one years ago that i named loopy Gloop 😂 unfortunately after a long 3month sleep in the fridge she was very hard to resuscitate, and she had to go
Don't fall over I bought a Domino's Pizza Delivered on a Sunday it cost me over $33-00AUD which I will never buy again it was a thin and crispy base... I also asked for ZERO Capsicum and I am Illergic to it and Guess want I had some 1 piece and she said it could come off the knife but it was under cheese... Crazy never again...I used to make Labanese Bread ones great and they used to be so big 1 side would fill U up...and they were small ones....😅😅😅 More Slices I used to make an Apple and Sultana one very nice and moist...😂😂😂

Have toasted sandwich ready to warm so good tip. 😊😊

My teens back in the day would make cake in a mug cooked in micro for snack. Also eggy bread . X
Such a great video Stacey, thank you for all the different ideas. I have three teenage/ young adult sons so I definitely know all about this!

Hello, head on over to my website. Link is in the description and all the videos that i mentioned are in one playlist as well :-)
I make up batches of sausage rolls and cheesy rolls for late night snacks and also my teen likes baked potatoes, which if cooked then frozen only takes 5 mins in air fryer to re cook

Thanks so much, I am really happy you loved it!
If it sticks to their ribs its a keeper on the menu-2 teens left to go living with grandma, at 68 the workload didn't get lighter it got heavier. Bigger clothes, heavier loads, more gallons of milk and bulk buying-BUT THEY ARE HEALTHY, eating from scratch will do that =)
Good evening from aucks ...
😅 I still eat like a hungry teenager and I am 53😂 this is awesome, thanks Stacey ❤❤❤
Congratulations Nana,
Just watched your Christmas utube. Wrote down the recipe for the chicken bacon roll you made.
Do you remember the baking times and temperature by any chance.
I do the old fashioned way and write down as you say.
The recipe will be up on the website today with all the instructions :-)
Thanks for watching some older content X
I recall my cousins, all boys, could walk past the fridge, never slowed down, but apparently just vacuumed up any food not nailed down. Could always tell when a growth spurt was building as they chubbed out then shot up. My nephew did that, too, topped off at 6'4".
Yes. Pizza please Ma'am.
My kids used to say "Muuuuuum, theres no food in the house - only ingredients!" LOL They grew up to be great cooks :)
I used to love watties spaghetti pizza, homemade pizza base of course
Great suggestions beats 2 minute noodles that they love
Great watch. I was intrigued by the Jar Mac & Cheese and Rice risotto. Do you have a link for that one? Thanks
In the description is a playlist with all the videos that I mentioned in this one :-)
Good morning Stacey, and others watching.
Stacey, have you baked bread with your sourdough? If you do, seems if i have missed it!
Will watch this video later in the day. Be blessed everyone. Greetings to all from South Africa🎉🌺💚🙏🙏🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
she hasn't had a chance too...lots of family stuff going on :)
I'm going to be making a loaf soon, it's been a while but I have been caught up with family. I promise as soon as I can get home I will film it.

One recipe is a muesli slice that I use about a cup of peanut butter, one tablespoon of honey, one tablespoon of coconut oil, then heat to make it runny, then add about two cups of oats, the kids are fussy so I also add cocoa to make them chocolate flavoured and add some choc chips... put it in a lined tray and put in fridge, then I slice it up and line an old tin I recycled and put them in there and pop in the fridge. I also make egg, cheese and ham bites in my muffin tin. I also use the muffin tin to make mini apple pies which are very easy with the left over apples the kids decide then no longer want to eat. I make banana bread from the old bananas, and also biscuits and cupcakes, but less often as I want healthier food for them. Thank you for sharing. I will now be looking at freezing more food because we are getting the "there is nothing to eat" on a regular basis currently....thank you for your tips.
Mind you, I am also dealing with an ARFID teen so that just adds to the fun.
Do you have any seafood dishes, prawns,fish ,mussels, crab etc . 😊❤
Not yet, we only eat white fish fillets and some tuna.
And it doesn't matter how old those teenagers are now, the first thing they do when they come home is open the fridge !!!
Not a bad chin-wag Stace 👍👍👍
Hahaha thanks
My sour dough starter is called "Bread-a-stair" and my daughter in law's is called "Bready Mercury". What's your starter going to be called? ❤😊
i had one years ago that i named loopy Gloop 😂 unfortunately after a long 3month sleep in the fridge she was very hard to resuscitate, and she had to go
Toffee pops are gross now, the biscuit base tastes chep
Don't fall over I bought a Domino's Pizza Delivered on a Sunday it cost me over $33-00AUD which I will never buy again it was a thin and crispy base...
I also asked for ZERO Capsicum and I am Illergic to it and Guess want I had some 1 piece and she said it could come off the knife but it was under cheese...
Crazy never again...I used to make Labanese Bread ones great and they used to be so big 1 side would fill U up...and they were small ones....😅😅😅
More Slices I used to make an Apple and Sultana one very nice and moist...😂😂😂
My teen I’m sure he has hollow legs
