As a beekeeper, may i suggest that you add raw honey to cooled down recipes. By staying 110 F and below, you won't be killing off all the good nutrition. That would also include hot teas, oatmeal, etc. 😊

I love that this isn’t Pinterest perfect. You show your real, everyday life in these recipes. And the kids even take part, too! Keep up the good work

I weaned my toddler off snacks also. And if he is hungry before a meal is ready, I give him grapes, muester cheese, bananas or peanuts. I bought a board made of olive wood, where I keep his peanuts on so he may enjoy them. He has become better at eating as I gave up on snacks. It's nice to see someone who does this also.

I loved hearing the children reading scriptures and seeing you involving them in the kitchen. Great job Mom!

Omgoshness! When I saw you lick the milk jar to clean up the edge, I died! Thanks for keeping it real. I know some folks will lose their minds by seeing that but I’m so thankful to see in a video what most busy moms do in their own homes when nobody’s looking. Great tips. Love your channel.

I watch so many KZfaqrs with the same type of content. But your recipes are the only ones that I’ve actually paused the video went and made in a couple of minutes, came back finished the video and they come out delicious and simple and easy and I thank you so much. God bless your beautiful family.

Something I keep on hand in the freezer pretty much all the time is snicker bar inspired stuff dates. I take fresh pitted medjool dates and stuff them with homemade peanut butter or almond butter. Then I melt a little dark chocolate with coconut oil. I will either dip the stuffed dates into the chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over the date, and then sprinkle with a Redmonds course salt. Sometimes I’ll sprinkle some shredded coconut too. They are so easy to make and definitely a more wholesome option for a sweet snack or dessert.

Energy balls. Oats, Almond butter, raisins, dried coconut, maple syrup , flax meal mix and rolled into balls and stored in freezer.

Hearing your daughter reciting Psalm 23 😍

I love that the children are involved. ❤🇦🇺

I’m still a ‘kid’ myself, and although my siblings scoff processed snacks down their throats, i can’t bear to eat them. it has such a detrimental effect on their health and on the environment. everything now seems to be wrapped in plastic and it pains me to see party sized chip bags being inhaled by them. Now that i’m taking responsibility for what i put in my body, i have been making lunches and dinners (occasionally) for myself using organic ingredients, and it always fills me up, and my occasional nut/musli bar is a nice treat. yes, i never get to sit with my sisters as i eat my self made dinner at the table alone as my siblings sit in bed mindlessly scrolling while eating instant ramen, sometimes they eat my food and compliment me. i’ve been needing snack ideas that i can make over the weekend that i can bring to school, and all of these are perfect and so easy to make!! thank you so much for your hard work, and i can see how much your family cares for each other. it so heartwarming, i wish that someday, that will be my family.

Watching this video really warmed my heart! as a 62-year-old mother of 8, I raised my children in the country on lots of dairy and homemade bread this really took me back. It's lovely to see the Simplicity of your life! God bless you and your family

Love the muffin making segment. Seems the kids know the routine - bench, babies (one on the back and one on the hip), older kids learn math by measuring ingredients, mom mixes with one hand 😂. Great episode! Glad you showed up in my feed.

You just showed up randomly in my feed today and I consider it a lucky thing. I'm subbing, but to be honest, I'm not sure how often I'll actually watch since your content isn't really my thing. (68, live alone and grandkids are a thousand miles away, don't live on a homestead, can't grow my own food though I do some herbs and cherry tomatoes) But I was so impressed with you and your approach to snacking. I agree if you teach your children to eat their three nutritionally sound meals per day, there shouldn't really be any need for snacks except very occasionally and as a special treat. I'm thrilled to say my daughter feels the same way and gets quite indignant about how people feed poison into their children. I think she has it right when she says it's yet another way for parents to simply not interact and "deal" with their children. If their children want attention, rather than stopping to attend to that real need or redirecting them into a healthy activity, these moms respond with, "Would you like a snack?" Or "Grab a snack and play on your tablet!" which encourages two unhealthy behaviors - using food to solve problems that aren't hunger and inactivity. I like your approach - getting the kids involved. As adults, we feel like things taste better if someone else fixes them for us, but kids feel the opposite. They LOVE food they've had a hand in creating even if it's marginal! 😂 Sorry - I'm rambling! I wish I could blame it on my age, but I've been a rambler my whole life! 😊❤

Great snack options. I love how you have a toddler on your hip and a baby on your back! And I loved that you licked the drip off the milk jar in true mama style. 😘. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰

I think what you are doing with your family is fantastic, and you are helping me look, at snacking a healthy way. Thank you.

Aside from the great info, I really enjoy that while you're filming, the kids are just doing their thing in the background or in the baby carrier. It's very wholesome and natural.

I love to make popcorn. (On the stove in a little oil and then lightly salted.) 🍿😍

Your approach to snacks and nutrition is really healthy & good! It's how many European countries like France approach healthy eating - three solid meals, less processed sugar and nutritious ingredients. Great! 🎉

Love watching your precious family making things together!

The baby on the back peeking trying to see what's going on made me laugh!😄 Sweet family & great ideas!!

Idk why this was suggested to me but I’m happy it was. A newly diagnosed diabetic and staying away from super processed foods these def gave me great snack ideas. Thank you sooooo much. God bless your family and your animals ❣️

I’m chuckling at your little baby hooked in behind you. That’s life with a large family

This was a great reminder of the simple things we can prepare to have ready... so much healthier for sure!

If you craved chocolate it might have been because you were low on magnesium. Cacao powder is raw and unprocessed unlike cocoa. Cocoa is stripped of all the healthy nutrients like magnesium. Since adding cacao powder into my diet to support my iron I no longer crave chocolate.

Love this! Thank you ❤

As a very minimal snacking mom myself its refreshing to see someone else who is like this. Other moms always comment how well my boys eat their meals...well..they dont have unlimited snacks! If someone is hungry but I'm not quiet preparing a meal yet, my boys have a piece of cheese or a yogurt and fruit. Banana is my go to fruit as a snack. Hard boiled eggs are definitely a big hit as well.

What a busy Mom you are! Loved all the recipes and your lifestyle!

Love these realistic and healthy ideas! Thank you so much ❤❤

I love how simple and affordable these snack options are :-)

I love this!I’ve been wanting to get away from buying snacks, but don’t really know where to start - and this Popped up randomly on my feed! Also I was thinking I wanted a glass of chocolate milk while the babies sleep so this video was very timely 😂

They all look delicious, thank you for sharing these!

What a precious family! I love this!

God bless you and your family. Loved the recipes, the life style, and specially the reciting of Psalm 23 by one of your kids!

Licking the milk jar b4 putting it away is sucha mom thing to do 😂 Reminds me of my mama ^_^ ty~

Thank you for being so authentic throughout this video and for sharing these amazing recipes which I babysit to try out. God bless your beautiful family in Jesus name

Thank you for sharing!

Love this video! Your children are so adorable and helpful💖

So much value in this video! ❤

I love the idea of using the blender to mix up batter. Seems much faster and easier to clean up than my countertop mixer or even a bowl and whisk. I learned a new trick thanks!

This was such a helpful video. Ty so much. I loved this.

Thank you for sharing, looking forward to a new way of eating for our grand baby who lives with us full time. Gut health affects mental health. so better to start them off on the right foot.

Thank you for your great snack recipes! So helpful!

Lovely! I just did a dozen eggs and I make them exactly like you do. I have alot of grandchildren coming over this weekend and I also love to have nourishing snacks and food for them.

Totally random video in my feed, probably appeared because I was recently searching Pinterest for non processed snack ideas. My home life is super different than yours, we are always on the go commuting to work / school with teens. But I loved all of your ideas, they’re very approachable for non homesteading families. As far as non processed foods, we love homemade popcorn, you can season it so many ways! Lots of raw veggies, carrots, celery, radishes, cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes. Apples, citrus fruit, berries. homemade salsa and homemade hummus or bean dip too. Thanks for sharing

This is awesome !!!!!

I just happened upon your vlog by perusing the menu choices in the far right column. So glad I clicked to watch. Love the idea of making homemade gummies. Those muffins made my mouth water for one. My kids like a stalk of fresh celery smeared with peanut butter and a few raisins added to the peanut butter. We call this snack "ants in a boat". Hard-boiled eggs are also a dandy high protein snack. Your children are darling and such good helpers!

We snack very similarly to you! Gummies are some of our favorites also. If you sprinkle the gelatin over the unheated juice and let it sit for a few minutes it will bloom and when you transfer it to heat, it will dissolve into the juice perfectly and you dont have to bother with whisking it or worry about clumps forming. Makes an easy treat even easier to make!

You are an awesome mother,wife, partner, congratulations

What a loving mom you are. Cooking healthy food for your family is one of the things I always cherrish because my mom did that for us 5 syblings and my dad❤

Such a helpful video, thanks for sharing.

This is so raw and authentic. This is what i want to achieve in life. I’ve recently stopped buying packaged snacks too and educating my kids on food. Real food.❤

You’re so adorable! Thanks for thesesnack ideas

Thank you for sharing. Love everything but the kids involved making the muffins just touched my heart ❤️, blessings

I love your kitchen! Great video.

I really enjoyed this video! I think the snack ideas are really good. And it's great to watch your kids help you and you teach them to make healthy food.

Have to say, although I'm 60, with no family but my husband, I enjoyed watching you and the kids make healthy snacks. I've been looking for new ideas to make, and I think yours are wonderful. Thank you for sharing, I'll be trying them myself.....as soon as I go to the grocery store😂🥰😘

I could def relate from the start of the video - I also like to spend an afternoon cooking to have things ready to eat for our family, and recently have started cooking hard boiled eggs in the air fryer to have on hand. 15min at 135C, followed by an ice bath 👍

Can I just say….. You are such a good Mom😍 God bless you and your family ❤

Great tips. Thank you for the muffin recipe! We have been loving sourdough freezer waffles. They’re a great way to use up discard and my kids can make one themselves when they’re hungry. Yogurt with granola, sourdough crackers, carrots with homemade hummus, cottage cheese with applesauce, hard boiled eggs are also favorites. Now that my kids are older and play a lot of sports, they always want meat so I’ve been making a bag of marinated steak strips that they can cook on demand.

Ah, so wholesome 😌🥰

Ok! just right away I LOVE your kitchen 😍

About a million miles away from here in the Uk. Loved the video thank you ❤

just made the almond snack and it's delicious. thank you. Glad I found your channel today.

Thank you for all your tips! It’s been a struggle in my home because my husband is a major snacker and I am not lol. So with the children we keep lots of fruit and veggies on hand for them to snack on but I’ve been wanting to switch it up and be more intentional! Homemade granola, parfaits, and little bento boxes(especially for car trips) with boiled eggs, cheese cubes and fruit have been a win for us! I can’t wait to try the gummies and muffins you suggested!

I love your oven!

also we make granola every week to either eat as cereal or top on yogurt. Oats and almonds chopped up and coconut flakes and some soft white wheat berries are mixed together and I add maple syrup and honey and coconut oil to hold it all together. add vanilla extract and cinnamon and a dash of salt. Bake it 350 for about 15 minutes stirring halfway. when it comes out I will mix in some raisins or cranberries and chocolate chips. so yummy and filling!

Great job thanks 👍🏼

This is one of the most beautiful things I've watched today. ❤ keep up the great work mama!!❤

A beautiful tribute to how God has blessed both you and your husband, as well as your lovely children.

I made your muffin recipe and my whole family loved them! I will definitely be making these regularly. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!

Between last night and tonight, I made the Maple-cinnamon almonds, and the Banana Oat muffins! Both are SOOOOO good, and were SO easy and quick. THANK YOU for sharing!

Hi, I just found your channel. We have a lot in common, I have three kids 12, 10, and 8. We homeschool, make most of our foods from scratch, such as slow cooking our meats and saving the bones for broth. I make all my breads from scratch using organic hard white wheat flour. I make a lot of quick breads for the kids breakfast such as spiced pumpkin bread, yogurt bread sticks, oven sheet pancakes, honey cornbread muffins, applesauce bread, etc. Or I will make peanut butter oat and honey balls for their breakfast or snack option. I make yeast breads as well. Once a week I make sandwich rolls about 16-20 rolls that last the entire week, I make pizza once a month using no nitrate meats and whole fat mozzarella cheese and season our own organic tomato sauce, I make other yeast breads as well and I like to to watch cooking channels (usually ones outside of the united states) that cook hand made breads from scratch to get new recipes and techniques. If we do buy prepackaged items we try to get the healthiest foods possible and buy organic and or all natural. we buy a lot of our beef from a local butcher. We are wanting to homestead soon but haven't got to that point yet since we just moved to undeveloped land a year ago and we were busy getting the land developed but Lord willing it will happen soon!

Thanks for this! I’ve been uneasy about the unhealthy snacks my grands eat and wondering if I could make up some good ones for them to try, and this is giving me a boost!

Thank you for your wonderful videos. Love the snacks; I’ll use them for my work snack go to.

My first video watching and I loved it! Simple lifestyle with focus on home and family makes life richer. Your children are blest. Sharing one of your family days in real life was so enjoyable to watch...I'm going to share this with my daughter who has two young girls, 2 1/2 years and 8 months. She also strives for healthy and nutritious food choices. Will be trying out the snacks you shared. Thanks so much. Looking forward to watching more

We love breakfast cookies! Oats, an egg, mashed banana or applesauce, a little bit of sweetener, some spices like cinnamon, and either dried or fresh fruit (blueberries are a favorite - I've even used frozen). Bake until golden. There are lots of recipes online. I usually wing it and add whatever we have and whatever sounds good!

I’m so glad I came across your channel!

I like smoothie, frozen fruit, dollop of yogurt and a little milk blended. I freeze the ripe bananas in Ziploc, put in freezer and use them to add as a sweetener.

It’s awesome to see moms that invite their kids into the kitchen to learn some basic cooking and baking skills. Part of why I know how to cook as a young adult is that I was always helping my mom in the kitchen. I’ve been cracking eggs since I was like three or four. I think it sucks when parents shoo their kids out of the kitchen and then are surprised when their kids grow up and don’t know how to cook. So it’s great to see you inviting your kids to help with the muffins. :)

Thanks lovely tips - really interested what your salad breakfast lunch and Dinner mostly comprise of - you have beautiful family❤️

Aww, your approach in the kitchen and snacks and cooking is just like mine. Batch cooking with my toddler on my back!

Great video! Thank you!

Awesome video! Simple and nourishing snacks!!!! I don’t normally comment on videos. I also only enjoy informational videos that augment my family’s life. This video is great! Thanks for sharing!

Love your videos! It’s so inspiring to see you and your family living so purposefully and with awareness of what you’re consuming! 😊 I aspire to achieve this for my own family, but definitely have a long way to go. 😅

Great video Thanks for sharing

Such a great video! A healthy snack we almost always keep on hand: I make cashew milk(so easy to make!!) and then I make individual jars of chia pudding out of that. After the pudding sets, I top them usually with frozen blueberries or frozen mango and a nut or different kind of seed. Drizzle of honey on top and they are really easy to eat any time of the day❤

I use a turkey baster to fill my gummy molds 😊 I make elderberry gummies for my grandchildren ... and for the rest of us. 😉 - Fermented carrot sticks dipped in homemade guacamole or hummus. - Leftovers (whatever the children didn't eat off their plate from the previous meal). I'm thankful all of my children now do this same thing with their children. - A smoothie - Homemade sourdough and almond butter toast - "Deviled" eggs - Egg, chicken, or salmon salad on sourdough crackers or toast. - Whatever is in the garden Im sure there are more snacks, but that's what came to mind.

I make my own granola. I love it as a snack (but I also very much love snacks) Cinnamon Oats Maple syrup Salt Quinoa Chia seeds Flax seeds Coconut oil Coconut flakes Whatever nuts I have, I put in. Ie. Almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, pecans, hemp seeds, cashews, etc Roast 275 about 45 mins I also season and roast chickpeas. Usually I add cumin, salt, cayenne, paprika, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder and those are also pretty addicting. 😊

Wonderful ideas! Thank you so much for sharing the recipes. I have some banana muffins with chocolate chips in the over right now. 😋 I hope my little ones love them. They just returned from school. Blessings 💞

Great video. Thank you for sharing with us. Another thing that the "snacks" from the store has a lot of is High Fructose Corn Syrup with is super bad, I will have to give some of these a try for my grandchildren.

Amazing

Wow, you are wonderwoman !! Your feed came up and i just started watching. Im past all those days and now am realizing, how did i do all that ? ( I did not homeschool but did a ton of work. . ). Thanks for sharing the recipes !!

I love these ideas! Thank you so much for sharing, and keep up the great videos! My family loves homemade granola bars. They are more filling, healthier, and last longer!

Thank you for sharing these ideas! Can’t wait to make the muffins with my son 😄

Thank you for these ideas. One thing we love is Chia Seed Pudding. I make it with either heavy cream or chocolate almond milk, a bit of vanilla and maple syrup.

Love this..beautiful family and can I say beautiful cows❤❤❤ I love your snacks.

I make cinnamon roasted almonds too, but the recipe I use includes egg whites for a bit of an extra crunch. Love the video and how very human it is! Thanks for sharing your lifestyle 👍🏽
