Just a tip for our dairy free friends here, coconut milk powder is a great replacement for milk powder in porridge 👍
Porridge and coconut..... could be a new favorite. I'm not even allergic to dairy!
@lizzy9975 : Especially with the cranberries, it would be delicious 😋
@@brilliantbutblue Oh stop it! Now I have to go and buy cranberries and make it! 🤣
Thank you that's good to know.
Where do you get that?
I'm never sick of hearing that intro. I love listening to you 😊
Thank you!
Stacey, start a Go Fund Me to fix your kitchen problems and buy a new oven! It would be so much fun for your devoted fans! We would be thrilled for you! We love your content and we would be rooting for you!! 😂
It's ok it's just the door the rest of the oven works ok. The draw hopefully hubby can put it on his Honey-Do-List :-)
Old fashioned porridge with butter cream brown sugar, yummmm
OMG Heaven in a breakfast bowl. I mainly eat rice porridge and that little combo is even better in rice porridge. It tastes like baked rice pudding with the brown sugar in it, and if you use ordinary sugar with some vanilla it tastes more like creamed rice, to me any way. So good…
So I thought I would share with you how I like my oatmeal.. I like it steaming hot with ice cold milk poured on top but not stirred in . I like the contrast of the hot and cold . 😂😂. The whole time I was watching your video all I could think of was wow that would make great oatmeal cookies 😂😂. I love your videos Stacey ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much
I agree with you lethaharris I love mine hot with really cold milk. 👍
Oatmeal cookies!! What a great 💡 idea
@@debbrown5648 it's cold wet and rainy here and my mind always goes to sweets lol
I love your honesty!
It's the only way to be true, not only for myself but for you guys as well.
Hi Stacy what a good idea , I am going to make some for my husband . He loves porridge at night if he feels hungry ,he always wants me to make it for him … this will sort him out lol 😂 thanks for that
Yep, point at the baggies in the pantry and say "go for it". Got to keep them independent and self sufficient. 🙂
Stacey, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the tips. We have all been on that shoestring budget. You are really doing a great service by teaching these tips. There are not many people out there doing this great work. The younger generations do not have their elders to teach them. Many Blessings to you and your family.❤ PS, your kitchen is perfect. This is why we love your channel. You keep it real. Also, loved that green shirt on you!!😊
Thank you so much for your kind words
It is so sad the younger ones usually aren't growing up with grandma to teach them. Many don't know how to turn an oven on. All they know is to order out or purchase highly processed foods.
Thank you for your sacrifice Stace. 😂 All that taste testing for us.
hahahaha you are most welcome
Just looked up Quaker Oats Instant Oatmeal. 8 packets for 3.79 Cdn which is 4.61 NZ today. 264-280 gms. We have had shrinkflation for quite a few years but it is out of control now while the big corporations are raking in record profits and giving their upper management huge rewards.
yes, it is complete madness. So wrong on so many levels!
They are $6.30 in Australia 😮
We just call it oatmeal, but I love the recipe and the storage ideas, and I love your Intro! Never get tired of your accent Stacy. And do wish you well with your knee surgery and pray it will fix what is wrong ❤
Never sick of the intro! 😂
Thank you!
Just wanted to say how much that green colour suited you, obviously the oats were great too lol. But you looked gorgeous in that top 😊
Thanks so much, I hate clothes shopping so much and while away my lovely friend gave me some tops.
My mother in law liked those little packets when she was in assisted living. She did have microwave in her room. Wish I had known about this then.
Sweet! Just made 10 easy before school breakfasts with snack bags. Thankyou so much!
My pleasure 😊
Instant oatmeal. Love oatmeal instant or regualr kind. Just wanted to say I love your channel and your Accent! Have a wonderful day!
Thanks so much
I'm so glad you posted this conversation! I just paid $8.99 (USD) for a box of little packets. And hardly nothing in them... 30 grams. We need your videos and this commumity. When you are trying to make changes and stretch you just sometimes just don't think of things. I am 63 years and sure we cooked oatmeal. But for so long grabbing those packets were on every shopping day. Food costs are going nuts. Thank you for sharing tips and recipes to make it do.
Thank you for your encouraging thoughts with me. I am so pleased you are enjoying the videos.
I think you mean the single serve sachets of quick oats. They are ridiculously expensive for the portion size. The Uncle Toby's ones are $6.30 AUD for 10 sachets (350g) in Australia so lm very keen to learn how you make them budget friendly and lm sure yours will be much healthier as well 👍
I note today that Coles Online has 1.8kg Quick Oats for the same price as regular rolled oats, but if you have regular in your pantry, and a food processor, you can make your own Quick Oats by giving the regular oats a quick burst or two in the food processor. Even better if you can bulk buy for cheaper, the regular rolled oats, and process them yourself. P.S. Coles Online Australia. 6:09 Stacey has the same idea lol.
😂😮 gotta love your total honesty and your willingness to try even though its not really your thing! Sending lots of positive vibes for both pre and post op on your knee
Thank you :-)
Wishing you a speedy recovery 🙏🕊️💚☘️🇮🇪
Thanks so much
Thank you so much for taking three (tastes) for the team! Thoroughly enjoy your videos, thanks x
hahaha, I actually enjoyed it in the end. Maybe the five tries of something is true.
@@FarmersWifeHomestead oops, I missed the other two lol x
Hello Stace, fellow kiwi here. This porridge recipe and tips is good timing what with NZ heading into winter. My palate prefers crunchy so my go to breakfast is toast or weetbix, so I've never been a fan of porridge either but I will give it a go when we have a cold day. Your reminiscing reminded me of one of my siblings that LOVES porridge and I have memories of him eating a big bowl of this with brown sugar, washed down with a big mug of milo and toast on the side. All the best for your surgery, I hope it goes smoothly and for your recovery. I'm off to watch your pizza dough recipe so I can get rid of my salami and tomatoes.
Thank you for the well wishes and I'm super happy you are off to make use of those leftover ingredients!
Hi Stacy, I think you are like a lot of Mums with experience/ children grow up who look back &think that wow lots of things that were purchased that were a little easier to get the gang feed could have been done for less money. It is also important not to forget I like a lot of women worked, raised a family &kept things ticking along at home. Thankyou I am learning so much and trying new recipes. I am seeing that retirement at 75 isn't all bad just adjusting
Stacey, you mentioned overnight porridge, please can you do a show about that. Many thanks, from Canada.
What a pretty green blouse with the weaving you are momentarily popped in wearing today in this video. It is so....springlike!!
Thank you 😊
I always found those packets of porridge too salty but my boys liked them as kids. I like a little bit of porridge with my brown sugar and cream, totally unhealthy. Now, because I'm an ancient one, I eat oatmeal bars for my cholesterol, here in Canada, Nature Valley is the most natural one I think. I pulled the entire front off my drawer, for some reason it started to fall off the drawer slides and get stuck, so I had to fix the whole drawer and put in a new set of slides, then as if by magic, the rest did the same thing, so I have 3 drawers basically sitting on top of one another. Now I can't remember where I put the slides to fix the cupboard. I decided not to rip it out and chuck it out the window and set it on fire, I'll just wait until I find the slides😂 I really believe there's something in this house is testing my patience and it's being a jerk.
Ah, so you have that pest of a jerk in your house, too. Must be a sibling of mine. Would much rather have a nice little house hippo.
My eldest daughter, when about 12, said she didn't like porridge. Surprised, I asked why? She said porridge is "more milk, more sugar, more milk more sugar" meaning trying to get the right taste to suit with each bowl...🙂
There must be something in my house too hahaha
Awesome ways to stretch out meals, I'm a porridge lover from way back. Good luck with the up n coming operation 👍 💪 😀 🙌
I enjoyed your video. One suggestion would be to have the kids help you do it. I do like porridge. But I can't imagine eatting the finely ground. And I will mention that if you make yourself some porridge and then pack the kid's lunch, fixing breakfast for other etc., the porrdige will be room temperture. :-) Not sure what you are having done, but my husband;s life was greatly improved by knee surgeries. But this may be a time for your kids to get involved in running a household. I send this with a prayer for comfort and peace.
Thank you, my kids have all grown and have left home now. Thank you so much for sending me a prayer and thanks so much for watching.
Morning Stacey 😊 Thanks for another wonderful recipe video. Like porridge especially in winter! I hope your surgery goes smoothly and a speedy recovery for you. Take care.
Thanks for your well wishes.
I love your kitchen because it's real and not for show. Thank you for sharing these tips. I am going to put together some pre-made mixes of things we make often!
This is so sensible and thrifty. Love these money saving ideas. Continuing to pray for your upcoming surgery! ♥️
Thanks so much for your prayers.
My recent add in was dehydrated apple pieces, apple pie spice & powdered raisin bran cereal. Yum.
Those recipes would be delicious as overnight oats as well I think....just add water or milk and place in the fridge....yum!!
Hi Stacey, My sister is going to NZ in November I wish I was going so we can have a cup of tea and chat. hahaha that noise was my draw omg my cupboard fell off the other day. Love oats yum. Green suits you.
hahahaha oh no! thank you it would have been so nice to have a cuppa
Since starting to watch your channel I have never bought bread for the house. I now make my own and make bread for my daughter too. Thank you
I love porridge and so do two of my sons. I used to make up little mixes like this so thank you for the reminder to start them again. A few months back I stopped buying muesli and cereals and have been making a lot of baked oatmeal breakfasts and my family really enjoy them as well. Better for our health and our budgets.
Blessings for a very positive outcome for your upcoming surgery. Hugs
Glad you post this. The oatmeal packets are a time savor, but sharing the homemade version is a Blessing! Bulk dry fruit chopped is the way I do mine. 😊
You have some of the best $$ ideas and recipes, Stacey - thank you for sharing. Will be thinking of you and sending healing wishes for your upcoming surgery. ❤ Im anxious to try your instant oats recipe!
Love porridge Stacey. Thanks so much for the tips.
Yes, I loved those little packets! You bought a box and had x2 of each of the 4 flavours. Well now all you can get is a box with just 8x of one flavour and there's only 3 flavours now and its hugely expensive. So for me this is exactly what I need for my new RV life travelling in Australia. I'll be making multi-flavour in the little baggys. Easy to store bags rather than jars in my limited space.
Hmmm for more healthy, besides adding the milk powder, perhaps you might like to add "sustagen/plain" (hospital grade, high in protein, etc and has milk)
A fellow kiwi here, I’ve only just stumbled upon your channel and am already in love with what you do! I’m looking forward to learning lots 💜
Thank you!! 😊
I had to overcome the horror of porridge made with water, (and cleaning the saucepan), that I grew up with but in a large family I understand why, with milk and lots of brown sugar, now I know I’m dairy intolerant, I love winter so I can make it with the milk of my choice and whatever fresh fruits, berries etc. Summer is overnight fridge oats with all the fresh or dried fruits seeds etc. No breakfast out of a cardboard box for me, I love being a grown up!👍🌏
You cracked me up at the end when you revealed you dont really like porridge!!! I laughed. Ive been doing this for a good couple of years when i realised the very little that goes into those sachets and the very big price. We double the milk powder use 1/3 cup oats 1 cup cold water 1tsp sugar and microwave for 7 mins. Omgosh its like the creamiest best thing ever!!! Yum. Soo sooo cheap
Hi from Hamilton lovely. I will be thinking of you on the 18th and wish you a fast recovery.
I soak my rolled oats in water overnight or just an hour, it makes a very creamy porridge then I just add milk and whatever when I want to eat it . Hi from Australia 🇦🇺
Love listening to you. And we had to try at least 3 bites!! America and Nee Zealand, who knew.
Prayers for your surgery. Best wishes for the knees!
Thanks so much
Great for getting kids to make their own breakfasts that are good for them . Love cooking for themselves . Bonus of being very budget friendly.Thanks for your tips .
Yes, so easy for them and a quick breakfast they can make before school.
Great ideas! I buy those boxes of little packets of flavored quick oats, this is so much better no preservatives or add craziness as well as much cheaper.👍🏻💙
I'm pleased the video has given you an idea. Let me know what you think if you make it up?
@@FarmersWifeHomestead I just made more of your depression era salad and I'm waiting for blueberries to come into season, I'm planing on making 1 or 2 of your blueberry recipes. 👍🏼
Interesting fact that in Australia quick oats are basically ground up oats less the oat bran. The oat bran is sieved out of the oats after grinding then sold as a seperate much higher priced cereal add in……
Do the packs of regular rolled oats still contain the oat bran?
@@Kayenne54 not that Ive found. It’s basically just rolled oats
@@downunderfulla6001 Hmm. Interesting, thank you.
@@Kayenne54 Yes.
@@downunderfulla6001 Well you cannot believe everything you read. Either on the rolled oat box or from random people on youtube…
Yes I'm so glad your teaching others how too save so much money with once a month preps.
NEVER get tired of that intro! I don't mind cooked oaks (MUST be the old fashioned and not the quick cook kind) but like you I prefer the texture of overnight oats. It's nice to see you making this, especially because with all the add-ins you are using, you've made these nutrient-dense - what a great way to start the day! Have you ever tried a savory oatmeal? Sometimes I like to have just plain hot oatmeal with a bit of meat (ham, bacon, sausage, etc) and a couple of runny-yolk fried eggs broken over the top. I use a sprinkling of my Montreal Steak Seasoning on the top to bring it all to life, and it's SO GOOD for something different. My fav for overnight oats is a bit of Greek yogurt, cinnamon, a splash of vanilla and good honey, a bit of chia seeds, and mix with a bit of milk - let it set overnight and in the morning add some pecans or walnuts and a bit of banana. SO YUM! Between the stove and the cupboard your kitchen has charm and character, and is well lived in and used, and I'm ALL ABOUT IT! Another great vid - Love & BIG HUGS to you and Husband!
Your savory porridge sounds very interesting! I will email you today X
One tip I learnt from Aunts.Save your old winey jam.Add a couple of tablespoons to a stir fry and VOILA Sweet and Sour.
Sweet from the melted crusted sugar and sour from the wine juice part of the jam.
I used to buy the boxes of oatmeal but I stopped because of the additives that are in them. You've given me some great ideas for fixing my own. Thank you.
Yes, that's a good point I didn't think of that as well. I hope you like it.
A jacket packet of Stacey's fine oats...mm lets try, leave a note...regards Karolyn Melbourne
Love your honesty. I’m the same. I wasn’t a fan of hot porridge until I tried the Uncle Toby’s packets. Now, I’m definitely going to make my own thanks to your inspo ❤
Love hearing your intro!!! Love these recipes and the way you have done them. We are currently away in our caravan, I bought a box here in Aust of those pre mix porridge bags, expensive!! You have given me some ideas definitely!!!! Thankyou
Enjoy your trip away :-)
Enjoyed the video Stacy😊
thank you for watching
I do this and make homemade muesli. But might try this for a nice change, have done overnight oats ,
Love the intro, made me laugh
Hi again Stacey, I had to share the results of making up a base instant oats mix - my 5 year old moko (grand daughter) didn't even notice that I had swapped out the Uncle Toby porridge packet for the made-at-home one using the mix you shared on your video :) I used coconut milk powder that I got ($4.29 for a 100g sachet from Countdown) and added a little of some leftover pumpkin spice mix I had. Yesterday morning she just about ate the whole bowl!! She has to have porridge with cream and I have to add hot buttered vogel toast cut up into bits. It was so satisfying watching her demolish her kai. She didn't want any of the dehydrated apple I had made added though. I'm going to 'experiment' using left-over freeze dried powders I have in my cupboard - blueberry or mango would be nice I think. I figure if I need to keep to a porridge texture to make it appetising for my moko that powders or the like would be better. I won't be buying instant porridge packets now not when I can get a 1.5kg bag of rolled oats for $4.49 and just have to add brown sugar, salt, coconut powder and water. Thank you for this breakfast recipe winner it will definitely be a keeper in our whanau from now on :)
Hello, and thanks so much for letting me know this recipe is working well and that your moko is enjoying it. 😊❤️
Thanks for another super helpful video Stacey. Think I'll start with your pineapple and coconut suggestion, a yummy combo 😋 Like you, I wish I'd done things this way years ago, but never too late eh 😊 ❤
Thank you. Will be trying this. Have a great day!
Hi Stacey. I’m definitely going to try this. I don’t like the little packets from the store because the oats are too mushy, but I think this will work for me. Good luck with your surgery. My sister is having a knee replacement also in May. You’ll be in my thoughts.
All the best to your sister. Thanks so much for your well wishes to me
Stacey when you say pumpkin spice....can you get that here in Nz? 😊thanks for another great video!
Thanks for sharing
We bought a bulk box of "maple cinnamon oatmeal" packets, and then discovered they were too sweet! So we've been mixing them with plain oats to cut the sugar, but I think I'm inspired now to use them up in a couple of big "base ingredients" jars with another bag of oats and some nuts or seeds. (or maybe choc chips! ... so much for less sugar haha). But wondering: do you keep the made up oat jars in the fridge since they have milk powder in them? I know the milk powder packet says that once opened, it should only be kept in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. We use milk powder all the time in our baking so it sits in the fridge anyway. Maybe I'll just add the milk before cooking the porridge.
All the best for your upcoming surgery!
I’ve never tried overnight oats like this, just hot porridge cold milk, yummo.
I nearly wet myself when you returned to set with the front of the draw in your hands! Ive cooked in some really dodgy places so that resonated - B T W my father and grandfather made porridge with just salt and butter and grand dad took a lump of cold sliced porridge out on the farm for lunch the both lived into their nineties, fit and well with all their marbles so maybe that is the secret - work hard and eat porridge
Hahahaha bless my poor wee kitchen
I’ve never been a big fan of porridge either and like you I enjoy overnight oats. Then I realized that I just like toast for breakfast and porridge is a quick and easy lunch option. Rolled oats have great health benefits too. Thank you Stacey for sharing your knowledge…love your work!
Thanks so much
Will never get sick of intro, here in the uk our porridge is called oat so simple my fav is with golden syrup but it is very expensive thankyou for this saving definitely going to do this one thankyou kim
Ohhh yes, I did forget to mention Golden Syrup as well.
Terrific idea, thank you.
You are most welcome
Stacey your intro is perfect & green is a fabulous colour on you😊 Loved porridge as a child, cooked in a pot back then. We sprinkled it with brown sugar waited for it to dissolve then slowly dribbled milk in the bowl down the side. The dissolved sugar would float 😋. Only time we were allowed to play with our food 🤣 It's still my daily still but with honey. Time to jazz them up. Thanks for your ideas. Keep smiling 🙂
Thanks so much and you actually make it sound delicious.
Best wishes for your knee surgery. Please take it slowly after the op Stacey, hopefully your recuperation and rehab will all go smoothly. Take care!
Thank you Stacey! I have never tried overnight oats. Only one of my grandkids likes oatmeal, but I will try making my own mixes. What a savings!
Hope you like it!
Thank you Stacey, I enjoy the little packets of berry porridge during winter so very thankful for cost saving ideas ♥️
You are so welcome!
You always make me smile.
I'm pleased :-)
Another thoughtful & useful video resource - thank you! 😊 Keep it up being you - straight up. I like this about you. All the best with your surgery Stacey!
Thanks so much :-)
I love hearing your intro. I am definitely making up some small packs ❤
So pleased it has given you a good idea. Let me know what you think
I love this idea! I'm learning so much from you and appreciate you sharing your frugal ideas with us! Thank you!
Thank you :-)
I've done this for years. So much cheaper and nicer too. I make up a two serve pack as there is only 2 of us. Think I'll be making it in the jars in future though. Thanks for more great pre mix ideas.
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching
Great idea, thanks 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Always do the intro.... 😊
Good to know, thank you
Thanks, never to old to learn.
Totally agree :-)
Love your intro Stacey, i am porridge lover so thank you for the tips😍
You're so welcome!
Stacey was that soft brown sugar you used? Anyways I'll definitely be trying these ideas out.
Could you show us a recipe for quick little wee quiches, savoury or cheese tarts/mffins for lunchboxes?
Yes, it was my homemade brown sugar :-)
I’m with you on the porridge. Always hated it as a kid. We used to have it with treacle, or golden syrup, and I was never a fan. I mean, I can eat it, but it’s not my favourite. I think it’s a consistency thing.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. However, I haven't tried it for decades and it actually wasn't too bad.
Love your company and recipes but im not a hot porridge lover but like oats in other things and see that it is a great way of saving money, thankyou.
I'm so pleased I'm not the only one who doesn't enjoy porridge.
i really appreciate this as in uk its 65p per small tub of ready made porridge this will be more like 20p per cup, thankyou xx
Wonderful to know it will help you save some money.
I love porridge, thanks Stacey. Can you do a overnight oats video? xx
Yes, what I should have done is put it with this video. I will add it to the list of videos :-)
Great ideas ,great channel ,love it 👍
Glad you like them!
We love porridge apart from my partner whom can't stand the smell of it let alone the taste but l still buy it for my children thank you for giving me ideas on things to add to my porridge awesome videos will you be doing a apple pie or peach pie in your future videos would love to see that
Thank you, and yes very soon as they are in season right now. (apples) plus I want to share my Cherry Pie
I love love dehydrated pineapple
SOOOOOOOOO good!
Double bonus.... yours has REAL fruit in it.
I think you surprised yourself... 👏👏🇦🇺🐨🇦🇺👏👏
I certainly did
Do you have a curried sausage recipe?
Yes I do, we will be making more hot meals now it's getting colder.
Thanks
That's so kind of you. 😊
Thank you so much for your super thanks, This will go towards the PO Box fund. I truly appreciate you sending me this :-)
You are more than welcome, your videos are ten times more enjoyable than anything I would pay the same money for on Netflix. I hope you realise just how knowledgeable you are around family cooking in the real world and making it available to all with this channel is a service. Best wishes for the surgery and recovery :)
❤❤❤👏
I dont like porridge either and I'm Scottish but love granola
I LOVE granola too!
👋🏻👋🏻
By dingoes i hope we can help you get a new kitchen. Made me laugh out loud when you brought back the front of the drawer!!!
hahahaha
