Cooking for one isn't fun. I am thankful for full cooked meals my neighbor shares, as they don't do leftovers. I buy them pasture raised pork from my son as a thank you and the circle continues. I am bless!❤
“ Tell it Misty” I’ve been saying this for years, I don’t eat out and haven’t had fast food for years. I worked in restaurants for years and have seen it all and became very aware of what was going on years ago. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤
I remember hearing a few years ago about people cleaning out cars and finding old McDonald's fries that still looked like they were just made, weeks to months later. That scared me into really thinking about where and what I was eating. I enjoy cooking from scratch. My dad taught me how to make his spaghetti sauce when I was a teenager. I've continued to make it all these years, tweaking a little as I prefer a lot more garlic and basil, and much prefer it over jarred sauces from the store. I was a child of the 60s and remember the TV dinners. My mom always cooked from scratch and we'd beg for TV dinners we saw advertised on television. And because our friends had them. I'm so glad my mom cooked that way instead of buying the dinners for us. We never had difficulties with our weight as children, and we were all three very healthy as children. Unfortunately, as a working mom, I did do the easy things...fast food, processed foods, and dinners. My daughter has a lot of issues as a result of that. I hope many young women watch this video and follow your advice. When will we ever learn that the companies care about one thing...making money! It doesn't matter how much harm it does as long as their profits are high.
You are not alone a lot of women do that my daughter inlaw does it a lot and I have tried to tell her and we give them food all the time and we just pray 🙏
Hubby and I eat out maybe once a month. We’ve been preserving our own grown food for 2 years now. This past month we’ve begun looking at chemicals in our dry goods in our pantry. Garbage gets thrown out. Thanks for your word.
I love to cook! So many times, if we go out to eat, we all think if I had made that at home it would have tasted better. I'm learning more and more how to use the meat that I've canned in different ways. I know when I used my corned beef that I canned, I made Reuben sandwiches, and my son said they were the best that he had ever had!! I considered that a win. It is scary what is in the food we buy
Thank you Misty for this video..... The question i get is "why doesn't the home grown produce you grow last as long" My answer... Because its not sprayed with chemicals...
I’m a 70’s baby.. KFC has gone straight to garbage like all others. The taste isn’t even the same as it was when the Mr. Sanders promoted this. It used to be some day a week good meal. Nobody cooks fresh . I just do at home now.
Stay Strong/Safe 🙏🏼💪🏽💯!!! The Truth Will set you Free!!! Be Blessed and a Blessing! "We The People By The People For The People" United We Stand Divided We Fall...🛐
Totally agree with you Misty, the numbers even drop more with the last two generations for they have no will, knowledge or as they say no need to learn to cook. I always love cooking at home. Stay safe
Thank you Misty great information last night I decided I wanted to make chili its been so long I didn't remember how to make it from scratch 😅 I had a chili season pack to for the base. I looked on the back for a chili recipe 😢😢 you never guess what I read the ingredients and extra ingredients on the chili season package says contains ( bioengered food ingredients .....😢😢😢😢😢 it's( the Old El Paso ) chili Season mix . FYI these products in my day were good just goes to show you people we even have to read the labels on the spices on everything its a sad day in America what they are doing to the food chain . Please pay attention I bought this mix because it was on sale .99 cents thought I got a good deal I didn't read the label because of the name brand truth is actually I wasted 99 cents 🙃 I won't be able to eat it or donate it because I know it has harmful chemicals in it 😢 the good news is that I used duck duck go for search engine and I found a basic chili recipe and I had all the ingredients I needed I cooked in crock pot on low for 5 hours and it came out well Glory to God thanks Jesus God bless the Mac's 👆💖🙏🌹🌹
So very true Misty !!! Fast food is causing so much cancer whether anyone wants to believe it or not … I love cooking at home with fresh vegetables as much as possible.. and i love trying new recipes!! Love you 😘
Our whole life is controlled around marketing. Corporations have people believing…they are what they drive & where they live makes them a better person. We have lost the fact we are who our character is.. whether it is a kind, loving and giving person or a miserable angry person. What we drive and where we live do not change those facts. We need to improve our Character instead of upgrading our cars and houses to make people think we are someone else. God Bless. I will be forwarding your video to my daughters about the fast food french fry disaster.
I live alone and still cook most of my meals. Even when my kids were still at home I tried to have a good meal on the table every night. I remember my grandparents rarely ate out. Except for the occasional senior meeting at their church, I don't think they ate a restaurant meal more than once a year. My grandpa had an amazing garden. I think he was one of the original subscribers to Organic Gardening magazine. Oh how I wish he was here now to help me.
I'm only 1, but I've learned how to cut down recipes and purchased smaller cooking pans etc to do a great job with cooking just for me. I don't ever eat out. I want to know where it's from and what is in my food.
Nail on the head. FDA. In the 60's I was forced to go to work due to finances. But my children and husband all had a part in the evening meal preparation. Little one set table, next one made tea and salad, husband cooked on the grill and I made sides. We sat at the table and talked with no TV on. Everyone put their own dishes in sink, later dishwasher, kitchen cleaned in a mater of minutes. But you had to plan your meals. Take meat out of the freezer day or two before, No microwave. I can still cook a big meal in under 30 minutes. (except for big cuts of meat) No I still do not have and insta pot or an air fryer. Thank you for this video.
There are many joys involved in gardening, from starting the seeds and watching the tiny sprouts immerge, to repotting as needed and finally hardening off and transplanting into the garden. Even the "chores", the weeding, the watering, the pest control are enjoyable or I at least I find them to be. But the pinnacle is preparing the first meal using the fruits of your and nature's labor. We are in zone 6a and have enjoyed all types of salad greens, including peas this spring so far and are 2-3 days away from our first Zucchini. Even as a man I find great satisfaction in cooking our home grown food. I find the entire process to be relaxing and rejuvenating. We have expanded and experimented every year and have settled on raised beds. Than for sharing Misty!
I love cooking from scratch. Husband and I haven't eaten out in about 3 years. Grow as much as I can even living in the city. Go to a organic farm to get more since I can. I have a butcher that only buys from locals and since my farmer retired I buy there because that is where he sent his animals to be processed. Really watch how much sugar and salt goes into my meals and I love to experiment with recipes. We only shop once a month and if I am out of something then I use something else. Want land so I can have chickens for eggs and meat. Will not go into debt promised God. God's blessing to you and yours
I cook, bake, process most of our food. I do not often eat out for the past few years. I'd rather eat my own foods. I get to control what goes in each meal. Misty, Yuka app shows is a food I health wise or bad. It grades many types of food. Have you seen this app and if you have what are your thoughts on it?? Thanks, Misty, for sharing.
I haven't but I'm about to check it out! Kinda sounds similar to teh app I use on personal products called Think Dirty- it also scores items according to how clean or dirty they are!! Thanks for sharing- checking it out now
I cook for one. I refuse to eat fast food. It’s gross. I shop farmers markets and farmers (meat). I pressure cook my meals into pint jars as well as have a heat and eat dept in my freezer. I don’t have to cook every night. But I know what is in my food! I don’t drink soda either. I drink h20. 63 this year and going strong! My mama and maw maw taught us all boys and girls how to cook our food from farm to table! ❤️❤️❤️ darlin, you are incredibly awesome. Love the Macs!
Cooking from scratch is the only way to cook and or bake! 62 now, kids grown and gone but raising my children on home cooked meals was most important and having our meals sitting at the table was a must! This was when we worked 40 plus hours a week but even if it meant me cooking and prepping a meal or several, to just heat up on mornings/nights that we were going to have a late night at work… My children helped me can jams etc..at a very young age. Now with their own children ( my amazing grandchildren) they are passing it on…
Wow! I did not know that about the potatoes. I was passing through Idaho once with my husband in his tractor trailer and made a comment about the soil. It was the darkest soil I had ever seen. I told my husband that some rich soil he said it was what they were putting on it. That was 25 years ago. Now I know he wasn’t kidding. So sad.
New Brunswick is a huge potato producer here in Canada, and people living in those potato belts have extremely high rates of cancer. The last few years, I've greatly expanded my garden. I think a big side benefit to the garden, other then pesticide free produce, is the exercise. Planting and tending a garden, tractor free, is an amazing workout! 😊
Thank you for sharing. I know this is so true. I watch my daughter get sicker and sicker and put back on all the lbs that she had worked so hard to take off. She started eating out and it breaks my heart, but I can't stop her. I hope she sees and feels what is happening before it's too late.
I use to work 50 to 60 hrs a week but I always made sure my girls ate a home cooked breakfast and dinner. Know matter what if I had to make on the weekends and put them in the freezer for them who ever was watching before I got home . And all they have to do is warm it up.
You are what you eat! I love to cook so we eat at home most of the time. I don’t understand how people can afford to eat out as much as they do these days. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Lisa
When my girls were young I cooked at home every night. I allowed them to eat out once a week. I canned a lot of our food. We raised cows and pigs. Now that they are grown and out on their own they still cook at home. Now it’s just hubby and I, we still cook at home. We get our meat from a reputable farmer.
The potato information shocked and scared me. Quite an eye opener. Thank you. I cook for one however I made a decision right then to make bigger meals. Cook for four servings. Eat one put the other three packaged properly in freezer to eat later in month. I will not be caught saying I don't feel like it, too busy, too tired anymore. Also had read an article where they were growing food with medicines and other things in our food that we don't know about. Don't know if that is true or not. What you said makes sense and is life altering. This will be topic of discussion among friends this week. Really happy you have your own time to share with us. Between the two of you we are well on our way to being more self-sufficient. Thank you for sharing. Love the new show and really enjoy seeing the whole family together.
We also fell into that trap! The more kids we had~ actually the more complicated it became than entertaining so that helped force us out of wanting to go "out to eat"
This is great content, and information. I so agree, I have enjoyed the history lesson over the last 50 to 60 years. I personally enjoy cooking almost all of our meals from scratch, Making bread, and canning , preserving. Your channel definitely is an encouragement and I look forward to it daily. Blessings to your family, Susanne .
I learned how to cook from scratch by watching and learning from my sweet Momma! My Daddy taught me how to grow food and care for chickens & rabbits. We ate fresh vegetables & fruits and either pressure canned, water bath canned or froze our food for the winter and to share with family & the widows in our neighborhood. I love to cook because it's better than anything at a restaurant and more economical for sure! I really enjoy cooking for my husband, family & friends! So rewarding to be able to feed loved ones healthy, tasty meals!
Ding Ding Ding you win I stopped going out to eat a long while back and now I have seen and read reports of them putting mRNA into food but you have pesticides and glysophate in much if not all regular (non Organic)Food the best choice is grow your own
I work, but I also love food. I really love to watch my wife 'whip up' a meal, and she gets very creative. I enjoy the video, and thanks for pointing out this problem with the Processed food industry. God bless you and your family.
Made your wife's homemade bread recipe this morning. I had just bought store bread and read the ingredient list. I didn't know what most of them were. The last thing said included BE ingredient. That was it. I got out your bread recipe and made it. It wasn't a perfect loaf but felt alot better eating it. They say practice makes perfect. Will keep on trying. Ih, it tasted real good.
Girl I've been saying it for years , especially with development of girls back in the day ,no one in my era had big oli olis,my mom cooked 7 days a week 5 children,I may not have liked all of it but back than you had to eat eat ,or you simply did not eat ,and being on time as we'll,or you were punished.it says as as a baby id spit out meat ,I'm adopted the youngest out of 5 adopted children ,one of the problems were she cooked everything like shoe leather ,well done and than some,I really did not like much she did cook ,and she never made enough for 7 people ,one small , meatloaf always mashed potatoes and veggies, anyway I learned to cook myself , although I wasn't aloud in kitchen while she was preparing dinner ,but I will say I cook to this day because I know where it came from ,Iand I can make it better,you are right about fast food ,and everything else ,I'm struggling now ,by myself ,but it's ok at least I ha ve a roof over my head ,lol thankyou for everything ,❤
I work long hours often travel, so when I am home friends and family want to meet and eat out. Frankly I am sick of eating out. I have freezer full that I have to go to and just don’t get the chance. I’ve invited them over but they don’t like to drive as far.
It's scary to know that the majority of our food is coming from overseas. We must grow our own or be sick. I'm 72, started my garden, growing as much as possible. Cook home, be healthier! Be wise the Bible tells us, God bless Y'all Hon.
I use to love cooking but working full time and driving 1.5 hour to and from work makes for a long day. I had gotten away from home cooking but I have been starting to cook meals again at home. I have noticed a difference in my energy level and digestion has improved.
Good Day To All the Mac's & Friends 👋 I wished that I could have been here from earlier but my mom had an accident! 🙏✝️✨ God is still in control! Thanks for such an amazing video in giving a touching glimpse of what takes place behind the scenes with regards to the food industry. There's nothing on the planet like homemade food!💯✨
I thought I couldn't cook but it was just bad recipes. Eventually you get a good recipe and realize hey you can make good food! You just have to keep at it.
Yikes that is crazy about McDonald’s french fries. That’s usually a special treat when I leave doctors appointments once every three months. Never again!
Thank you so much for this information! I just learned to can this year. We are a family of 5 and 3 of us have fatty liver. I am taking my family's health back.
No it's not a problem it's scary as heck. Be cuse we have know ideal were it's coming from and what in in it or on it .that is so scary to even think about it .
I'm a second time cancer patient and dont want to add anything that will add to the cancer growth...one reason of many that I follow you and support your channels...and I'm still working full time and facing all new treatments and not sure how to procced
I do my best to cook from scratch, my problem is it gets boring. I need more variety. Living in a town where I'm 30 miles away from a decent market makes it hard.
My late husband used to say that when he was married to his ex wife, he was afraid to drink water. He said that she made so many boxes foods that he was afraid that if he drank water he would dissolve. He couldn't believe that he found a woman that really cooked from scratch. His dad told him, "Boy, if you don't marry that girl, I'll marry her myself!" Maybe it was all of that down home cooking that got 'em.😂
i really enjoy cooking for my husband and i... It got to where every time we went out to eat i got sick, so we just very rarely go out any more, and i honestly i don't miss going out to eat...
I've recently had a lot of close friend who have changed their diets over the past year say when they eat something bad how sick it makes them! You're not alone!
I agree with what you’re saying, totally! We hardly ever eat out and we don’t eat many processed foods at all. NO fast food ever. Don’t like it. We buy produce and we also grow our garden. But… I do not like to cook at all. I have done cooking my whole life. (We are retired) and I do not enjoy it anymore. But we live on a very fixed income and I have to cook at home, so I do. If I had the choice, I would never cook. 50 years was enough. I am not being mean or unkind… just truthful. 😊 I do enjoy your videos. (I am also a type 1 diabetic so I eat low carb. No pasta, no pizza, no potatoes or rice. No sweets… And I can only eat 1 slice of bread per week so that I keep my numbers down.) Thank you though, for your informative channel. 😊 God bless
I think we have been conditioned not to like cooking!! We have been brain washed with negative ideas of cooking -- Not every meal has to be complicated!! Cooking is a creative outlet but doesn't have to be hard! Mine tonight was squash and zucchini from the garden - lightly cooked in our raw butter with a touch of salt and pepper .. it was effeortless, nutritious and delicious!! Thanks for supporting an sharing with us!
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT AND INFORMATION IN THIS VIDEO MISTY STAY SAFE AND WARM AND WELL AND WELL PREPARED GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LITTLE FAMILY FROM OREGON I AM WITH ON THE COOKING AT HOME IS MUCH BETTER AND ITS DONE THE WAY YOU WANT AND CHEAPER
Great information. You both do well with your channels. Makes me wish I was much younger and knew these things years ago. I love to cook now and work to use the best ingredients I can pick up.
I totally agree with you. I live by myself and still try to cook my own food as much as possible. Right now I am dealing with a histamine imbalance and I am trying to cook especially now my own food so I know what is in my food. I love to cook and this has not been a problem. I don’t but much food out unless go with my church friends or family and then I try to find something to eat. Thanks for sharing more people need to hear this.❤️
Thank you , Misty! 100%! It does take alot of time! As we have honed our gardening over the last few years, it is truly amazing how much time is spent on all the aspects of food!
Look into companion planting! I'm not home but look for plants that squash bugs hate!! I have a companion planting book that I refer to when I need help
Cooking for one isn't fun. I am thankful for full cooked meals my neighbor shares, as they don't do leftovers. I buy them pasture raised pork from my son as a thank you and the circle continues. I am bless!❤

It doesn't matter how much harm it does as long as their profits are high.
We have all made those mistakes!! Don't beat up yourselves! Learn from it!!
Corporations are all about PROFIT OVER PEOPLE.
You are not alone a lot of women do that my daughter inlaw does it a lot and I have tried to tell her and we give them food all the time and we just pray 🙏
Nothing can replaced home cooking. 👍🙏💕🙋🏻♀️
An educated panty can be your best friend!
Hubby and I eat out maybe once a month. We’ve been preserving our own grown food for 2 years now. This past month we’ve begun looking at chemicals in our dry goods in our pantry. Garbage gets thrown out.

I hate buying so much food from the grocery store! We’re trying to grow as much as we can! Thanks for speaking truth! ❤
Great job! One step at a time! In time - you've made a big change!! Just by taking small steps
It's horrible that we are feeding our children this food

Totally agree with you Misty, the numbers even drop more with the last two generations for they have no will, knowledge or as they say no need to learn to cook. I always love cooking at home. Stay safe
So true I'm in my 50s and was so surprised to learn how many of my friends don't cook and don't want to learn to cook 🙃

I recommend sea salt or pink Himalayan and
Raw cane sugar ! Stay away from table salt and white sugar!

Also had read an article where they were growing food with medicines and other things in our food that we don't know about. Don't know if that is true or not. What you said makes sense and is life altering. This will be topic of discussion among friends this week. Really happy you have your own time to share with us. Between the two of you we are well on our way to being more self-sufficient. Thank you for sharing. Love the new show and really enjoy seeing the whole family together.
You're doing a great job
Try to stick with non gmo and organic products
I love cooking for our family, we rarely go out to eat but at one time it was our source of entertainment.
We also fell into that trap! The more kids we had~ actually the more complicated it became than entertaining so that helped force us out of wanting to go "out to eat"
So very true!!❤
I am leary of any foods sold anymore. Especially with this bioengineered food being put out
This is great content, and information. I so agree, I have enjoyed the history lesson over the last 50 to 60 years. I personally enjoy cooking almost all of our meals from scratch, Making bread, and canning , preserving. Your channel definitely is an encouragement and I look forward to it daily. Blessings to your family, Susanne .
I love this!! I cook a lot of our family’s food and even meal prep for myself and my hubby for lunch….which people think is weird…
I learned how to cook from scratch by watching and learning from my sweet Momma! My Daddy taught me how to grow food and care for chickens & rabbits. We ate fresh vegetables & fruits and either pressure canned, water bath canned or froze our food for the winter and to share with family & the widows in our neighborhood. I love to cook because it's better than anything at a restaurant and more economical for sure! I really enjoy cooking for my husband, family & friends! So rewarding to be able to feed loved ones healthy, tasty meals!
Sounds like your mom and dad do very well training you! We don't understand it when we are younger but such vital skills!
@@TheMacsLife0 they really did! I appreciate all that they taught me and treasure the memories!
This is exactly why my family and I stopped eating fast food!
Ding Ding Ding you win I stopped going out to eat a long while back and now I have seen and read reports of them putting mRNA into food but you have pesticides and glysophate in much if not all regular (non Organic)Food the best choice is grow your own
Thanks Misty. This is eye opening. I hope many are paying attention and taking this important information to heart. It really could save lives
I work, but I also love food. I really love to watch my wife 'whip up' a meal, and she gets very creative. I enjoy the video, and thanks for pointing out this problem with the Processed food industry. God bless you and your family.
I cook at home almost everyday. When we do go out I always feel sick.
Made your wife's homemade bread recipe this morning. I had just bought store bread and read the ingredient list. I didn't know what most of them were. The last thing said included BE ingredient. That was it. I got out your bread recipe and made it. It wasn't a perfect loaf but felt alot better eating it. They say practice makes perfect. Will keep on trying. Ih, it tasted real good.
It definitely takes practice to get a good feel!!! You've got this!!!
Thank you. Bless your heart ❤️🙏🙏🙏
Well said, Misty! You're speaking my language!
Girl I've been saying it for years , especially with development of girls back in the day ,no one in my era had big oli olis,my mom cooked 7 days a week 5 children,I may not have liked all of it but back than you had to eat eat ,or you simply did not eat ,and being on time as we'll,or you were punished.it says as as a baby id spit out meat ,I'm adopted the youngest out of 5 adopted children ,one of the problems were she cooked everything like shoe leather ,well done and than some,I really did not like much she did cook ,and she never made enough for 7 people ,one small , meatloaf always mashed potatoes and veggies, anyway I learned to cook myself , although I wasn't aloud in kitchen while she was preparing dinner ,but I will say I cook to this day because I know where it came from ,Iand I can make it better,you are right about fast food ,and everything else ,I'm struggling now ,by myself ,but it's ok at least I ha ve a roof over my head ,lol thankyou for everything ,❤
I work long hours often travel, so when I am home friends and family want to meet and eat out. Frankly I am sick of eating out. I have freezer full that I have to go to and just don’t get the chance. I’ve invited them over but they don’t like to drive as far.
Great job, Misty. Important information. Thank you.
True words thank you God bless ❤🙏🙏🙏
It's scary to know that the majority of our food is coming from overseas. We must grow our own or be sick. I'm 72, started my garden, growing as much as possible. Cook home, be healthier! Be wise the Bible tells us, God bless Y'all Hon.
👏
I use to love cooking but working full time and driving 1.5 hour to and from work makes for a long day. I had gotten away from home cooking but I have been starting to cook meals again at home. I have noticed a difference in my energy level and digestion has improved.
👏
Meal prep and cook extra when you cook! Make your time work for you!!!!
Thx for all the great info. If we slowed down a bit and really took stock of what we eat, we would be healthier.❤
Thank you so very much Misty I appreciate all your knowledge 🕊️🕊️
Thanks for the video! I love to cook and have really tried to cook more so my hubby and I can be more healthy. Thanks for the encouragement!
You hit on the head. Marketing. 😊😊
Ding ding ding!
Good Day To All the Mac's & Friends 👋
I wished that I could have been here from earlier but my mom had an accident! 🙏✝️✨ God is still in control!
Thanks for such an amazing video in giving a touching glimpse of what takes place behind the scenes with regards to the food industry. There's nothing on the planet like homemade food!💯✨
I do cook my meals but is hard to downsize for one.
That's ok. Freeze one or two servings for a quick, easy dinner.
Oh my word!- thank you so much for this video! It is excellent! Thank you!!😊
I thought I couldn't cook but it was just bad recipes. Eventually you get a good recipe and realize hey you can make good food! You just have to keep at it.
Yikes that is crazy about McDonald’s french fries. That’s usually a special treat when I leave doctors appointments once every three months. Never again!
Thank you so much for this information! I just learned to can this year. We are a family of 5 and 3 of us have fatty liver. I am taking my family's health back.
👏
Look forward to the informative presentation of researched materials!
No it's not a problem it's scary as heck. Be cuse we have know ideal were it's coming from and what in in it or on it .that is so scary to even think about it .
You are spot on! Thank you for your video!
I'm a second time cancer patient and dont want to add anything that will add to the cancer growth...one reason of many that I follow you and support your channels...and I'm still working full time and facing all new treatments and not sure how to procced
I remembered you mentioning cancer To us before and we haven't forgotten to pray for you!
Thank you guys..I almost made it to the two year mark before it showed back up..
We order out maybe two times a year. If they depend on us we would put them out of business 😊
I love walking out to the garden to pick out my sides to go with local farm raised meat.
Yes yes yes!!!! Great job
Couldn't agree more Misty! Great video!
Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Home cooking is the best, and so much healthier
Exactly!
Agree 💯
I do my best to cook from scratch, my problem is it gets boring. I need more variety. Living in a town where I'm 30 miles away from a decent market makes it hard.
Maybe try to plan - meal plans help me so much!
My late husband used to say that when he was married to his ex wife, he was afraid to drink water. He said that she made so many boxes foods that he was afraid that if he drank water he would dissolve. He couldn't believe that he found a woman that really cooked from scratch. His dad told him, "Boy, if you don't marry that girl, I'll marry her myself!" Maybe it was all of that down home cooking that got 'em.😂
Lol !!!
God bless your family.
i really enjoy cooking for my husband and i... It got to where every time we went out to eat i got sick, so we just very rarely go out any more, and i honestly i don't miss going out to eat...
I've recently had a lot of close friend who have changed their diets over the past year say when they eat something bad how sick it makes them! You're not alone!
Wow what an eye opener😮
I agree with what you’re saying, totally! We hardly ever eat out and we don’t eat many processed foods at all. NO fast food ever. Don’t like it. We buy produce and we also grow our garden. But… I do not like to cook at all. I have done cooking my whole life. (We are retired) and I do not enjoy it anymore. But we live on a very fixed income and I have to cook at home, so I do. If I had the choice, I would never cook. 50 years was enough. I am not being mean or unkind… just truthful. 😊 I do enjoy your videos. (I am also a type 1 diabetic so I eat low carb. No pasta, no pizza, no potatoes or rice. No sweets… And I can only eat 1 slice of bread per week so that I keep my numbers down.) Thank you though, for your informative channel. 😊 God bless
I think we have been conditioned not to like cooking!! We have been brain washed with negative ideas of cooking -- Not every meal has to be complicated!! Cooking is a creative outlet but doesn't have to be hard!
Mine tonight was squash and zucchini from the garden - lightly cooked in our raw butter with a touch of salt and pepper .. it was effeortless, nutritious and delicious!!
Thanks for supporting an sharing with us!
I get the not liking to cook. I used to love it til it was just me and my husband. He does keto so it’s boring. But HelloFresh might be an alternative
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT AND INFORMATION IN THIS VIDEO MISTY STAY SAFE AND WARM AND WELL AND WELL PREPARED GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LITTLE FAMILY FROM OREGON I AM WITH ON THE COOKING AT HOME IS MUCH BETTER AND ITS DONE THE WAY YOU WANT AND CHEAPER
Great informative video. God bless you and your family
I’m so thankful that I’ve just always enjoyed cooking. It’s the cleanup I don’t love 😂
Agreed! I'm thankful I do have three girls to help- now sometimes I have to still go behind them but they do have chores and are required to help
Truth! I have been saying this for years
Thank you for sharing
You are so right😊
Great information. You both do well with your channels. Makes me wish I was much younger and knew these things years ago. I love to cook now and work to use the best ingredients I can pick up.
You inspire me! Me and my sister look forward to meeting you at Okie Fest!
Yay!!!!
Amen Misty.
Thank you
It's hard to cook for one and not like it used to be for cooking for a family of five plus extended family and folks
It bugs me that other countries ban so many ingredients that cause harm, yet here in the United States these ingredients are allowed. 😢
Bingo!!!!!
I wish there was a list of these band ingredients
I totally agree with you. I live by myself and still try to cook my own food as much as possible. Right now I am dealing with a histamine imbalance and I am trying to cook especially now my own food so I know what is in my food. I love to cook and this has not been a problem. I don’t but much food out unless go with my church friends or family and then I try to find something to eat. Thanks for sharing more people need to hear this.❤️
Thank you , Misty! 100%! It does take alot of time! As we have honed our gardening over the last few years, it is truly amazing how much time is spent on all the aspects of food!
Hiii. MISTY... Great Video👍💜🌻
I have always cooked from the bottom up.
TV dinners were just the beginning!
Yes! True
❤❤❤
Very true
Question: Do you have videos on how to keep insects from eating your garden veggies? My squash was hollowed out from bugs.
Look into companion planting! I'm not home but look for plants that squash bugs hate!!
I have a companion planting book that I refer to when I need help
