Well everyone I decided to turn on my camera my no my app to see what birds were around there was a Carolina Ren a Carolina chicken d and a redbelly woodpecker in one minute of recording it’s really really fun to sit out here and listen to the birds and then turn

This app on it’s called um I have to remember Gremlin I believe it is and it identifies the calls from the birds so you know what what sounds you’re hearing which is really cool it’s really cool all right everyone I’m bringing you in to show you how I did this

Yesterday and what I’ve done is I have put um 1 and 34 cups of water in here I have put a little bit of salt just a dash and I’ve put half of a lemon it looked like a lemon in here Juiced and some sweetener some Monk Fruit

Sweetener and now I’m waiting for this to come to a boil and I’m going to add the cream of wheat to it and the berries and then we’re going to Plate it up okay it is a quick simple kind of a meal that I came across a kind of recipe for it

Yesterday and thought you know what that that sounded good and I made it yesterday thought I was filming and I wasn’t and it was so good that I wanted another bowl of it today and so we are going to get this cooking and now I’m going to add In the blueberries these are the blueberries that came from the food bank as much as you want I’m sure that in the recipe it gave an amount but I put as much I do I do a lot of cooking by feeling all right so as the cereal is cooking the blueberries

Are going to thaw out okay you got to keep stirring this so it doesn’t Clump up I’m going to put the blueberries back in the freezer so they don’t fall that was me SP that was me he hears a door no matter if it’s a freezer door or what he thinks

Somebody’s here that was me so I’m going to bring this up to a boil and I’m going to let it cook for a little while and then I’m going to Plate it up and I’ll bring you back all right I haven’t made it to take my shower yet this morning but I’m

Bringing you in I put in a little bit of the milk that I got from the food bank to make it creamy along with a little bit of butter and I’m going to mix it up it does two two things doing that it um makes it creamy number one and number

Two it cools the cereal off so I can eat it all right so this is I never thought about you know adding I like lemon berry like muffins and things like that but it never occurred to me to make you know a cream of wheat or a mono meal lemon

Berry and I had all the ingredients and they came from the food bank so guys I might as well and yesterday I tried it for the first time and I was shocked it was so good it tastes like eating a lemon berry uh muffin or eating a lemon berry

Cake you know like a coffee cake but it’s a breakfast cereal and it’s so good those the blueberries and the tartness of the lemon is good people it’s good all right I’m going to get this eaten and we’ll get to other things during the day right everyone I am in the process

Of making my carrot raisin salad and my cold SLA and I am going to bring you in and I’m going to show you a um mistake that I made look at the bags the bags look exactly alike do they not okay except there’s an important difference between

These two and let me show you what they are are raisins very clear prunes I opened the prunes thinking they were raisins no no no no we’re not going to make that mistake all right I’m going to bring you in and show you what I’m doing here I have shredded all of the

Raisins I mean all of the carrots and I’m going to so I’m going to add the raisins in here and this is not all of the carrots okay there’s another bowl over here and so I am going to I want enough room to stir them and

So I’m going to add however much raisins I want to add in here and then I’m going to go and add raisins in the second bowl and guys I go through this like I I munch on this through the day and the reason that I’m making these is

Because raw vegetables are way better for me than cooked vegetables okay and so I’m making my favorite things and it is helping with my blood sugar okay and so I’ve got a second basket a bowl here and I’m going to add raisins in it as well

Okay so it’s about a half a bag between the two and mind you that you know this is going to last me a while okay so I am going to put that up and then we are going to add in I’m going to mix it up in this small Bowl

Here so you’ll you guys see these two bowls okay I’m going to move them out of the way so I can show you what I’m doing Here now I’m going to take some mayonnaise okay mayonnaise and then I’m going to take some of this monk fruit sweetener and just shake a little bit in there to give it some sweetening okay this is instead of um white sugar I’m using that and then I’m going to mix this up

I’mma put half of it in one bowl and half of it in the other bowl and this is going to be the dressing for the carrot raisin salad oh one more thing I always like to add a little freshness to the dressings and so I have them from the food

Bank so I am going to add it and that is half of a I believe this smells like a lemon lime is what it smells like it’s green on the inside but it’s yellow on the outside so it’s good okay I’ve been using it in a bunch of

Different stuff but half of this and look how much juice is in these and and so I am going to add half of this into this dressing add a little freshness to it and then I’m going to bring this salad bowl back over here and we’re going to add about half of it

In this one I just want enough to coat it all right that’s what I want and that was these were very large carrots okay you’re going to be surprised at how much carrots those three carrots made from the farm and spice has to let you know is he’s

Around he’s running through the house barking okay and see I just want to barely coat it that’s the way I like mine I don’t like a lot of dressing on mine I like more of the carrots and the more of the vegetables in the and the raisins to come out than the dressing

All right so this one is coating you’re going to see in a minute what what I mean okay this one is coated I’m going to take this spoon switch places with this and we’re going to add the rest of this dressing this Okay so funny I start filming and then all of a sudden he is just like he wants y to know he’s here so I’m going to mix this in here so remember now I’ve got quite a bit of salads now in my refrigerator I have the cucumber tomato salad I have the egg

Salad I have the turkey salad that I’m working on and now I have carrot raisin salad and guys I will be eating all of this I promise You and then I’m going to already have the um the Cabbage ready for the co all right now watch what I’m going to do I want a room to mix this up I’m hoping you guys can see this I’m hoping you so now now there’s a carrot raisin salad completely mixed up

And then we’re going to move on to the klaw so let me bring the klaw over here all right so I used my big giant Bowl for the klaw and I put some carrots into the klaw so I’m going to get the carrots mixed into the

Colaw cuz I wanted some um color in here okay all right so there we go and then well I thought I had it mixed up my hand down in the bottom of that bowl okay there we go now remember the onions that I chopped up yesterday for the day before we’re

Going to get those onions out find there they are okay here we go with the onions these onions froze in my refrigerator that’s okay that’ll be fine rinse my hands off and we’re going to get in here with let me get a spoon out I’m just going to get a simple wooden

Spoon and we’re going to get these onions mixed in here you know what it’s way better if I use my hands it is way better I use my hands I know I’m getting down in there all right here we go okay that’s done rinse my hand and now what I’m going to

Do is same bowl that I made the dressing for the carrot raisin salad I’m now going to make the dressing for the klaa and I’m going use the rest mayonnaise so now I’m officially out of mayonnaise I use the last one out of my uh out of my stock okay

Then I am going to add in just the same as I did the carrot raisin salad I’m going to add a little bit of this monk fruit sweetener in here okay I’m going to add this half of the lemon that I have into this we’re going to mix this

Up and just like the carrot raisin salad I don’t want a lot of dressing on this I just want to coat it right here we go I’m going scrape that bowl out and get all of this goodness out of there all right here we go okay and now we’re going to mix this

Now this time what I did with my um cabbage is I ran it through my um through my food processor that one of my viewers purchased for me and it made it so quick like in a minute or two I had the Cabbage all shredded it was awesome all right we’re going to

Continue to work this in there all right looks like it’s mixed in there pretty good one all right there we go all right so now this is going to go into the refrigerator and it’s going to sit for a while and let all the flavors melt

And the mayonnaise jar is going into the trash but the lid I’m keeping because it fits my mason jars all right these are the two salads I made today well good to if everyone I’m bringing you in to show you what I have for dinner for myself

Today and this is a combination of the salads that I’ve been I put on this salad cake and there’s nothing wrong with that actually this is really really good for me because I’m eating a lot of fresh vegetables not cooked so I have my cucumber tomato salad here and all I

Did we squeeze a little lime juice or lemon juice on top of it I have a rye pumper nickel swirled bread that I found in my freezer until I took it out yesterday day before yesterday day before yesterday and let it th in my refrigerator and I lightly toasted this in my

Toaster and then on it is some of the egg salad then this is the um broccoli cauliflower salad that I made that has walnuts in it there’s the walnuts okay it has walnuts And let me look and see if these are raisins or cray crains these are crains and so this is what I’m having for dinner I do have a carrot raisin salad in the refrigerator and a Col SL in the refrigerator that I made today but I want it to sit for a while

And let the flavors kind of meld together and so plus I have a cup of coffee and this is the decaf coffee that I drink in the evening and tomorrow okay tomorrow I am going to do a grocery haul I already put my grocery order in for the month and uh

It’s going to be an extensive one and part of the reason is because um someone is donating a meat fund for me and so I used money from the donations for the last two or three months for the meat fund to purchase some Meats uh for the

Next should last me the next probably three four five months okay yeah it should and so I’m excited about the me the meat purchases this month and along with everything else that I needed from the grocery store so it’s going to be um interesting okay y’all hang around
