Come check out what our large family of 9 eats during a typical week! We enjoy eating fruits and vegetables that we grow in our gardens and meats that we hunt or raise on our homestead. We also love meals using whole foods that are made from scratch, but we have plenty of fun treats too. There’s a LOT of food in this video! **(Scroll down to see all the videos that were referenced in this video!)** #largefamilymeals #mealsoftheweek #threeriverschallenge

  2. You are really good at using all food and resources. That's so smart and saves SO much money! And your kids are food eaters. Those buttermilk biscuits looked DELICIOUS! GOOD VIDEO.

  3. When you eat the fava, EACH PERSON peels their own fava beans in their own dish. They are delicious with sausage.

  4. Such an enjoyable video with lots of great ideas and inspiration. Ty Janice and your lovely family!! Sarah, those biscuits are so beautiful! I bet they are as delicious as they look. You are quite a baker.

  6. Oh dear those Fava beans looked old and so much work. We enjoy fresh 'broad beans' grown in the garden. Same bean but young and green. I hope that you will be open to the idea of growing some 😊

  7. Hi everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed this video! You always come up with great ideas for your meals and your children helping is just wonderful. Look forward to the next one.

Monday night was hamburger and fries, tonight is smoked pulled pork bbq sandwiches and the leftover taters gonna be fried, small side salad. My breakfast was eggs oe, toast. Lunch is leftover bbq chicken and rice since im off today. Everything is from our meat and garden. Except fries i did buy at a clearance grocery store. And the rest is pantry items. I ❀ your videos!! Now i have to clean chicken pens since it thawed finally. Dreary outside but will keep me cool as i work. Bleh. Gonna rain/ snow tomorrow. So gonna go grocery shopping. Im never bored with your vids!!😊❀

  9. You were talking about the menue and cupcakes coming in the door in the hands of an adult lady was not confusing at all. 15 Grand children, my goodness, what a blessing to your family and beautiful food too.😊

  10. I noticed the good looking young man that came in when you were filming. You could call them "cupcakes" because they looked sweet!!

  11. How do you handle picky eaters? Do you have a take it or leave it policy? Try at least one bite? I would love to know what you do. My middle child is very picky.

  12. I love the food for the week videos. Your kids may enjoy theme night meals to go along with what you are studying in school.

  18. Janice and the family are to be admired. They are going to thrive in the very tough times ahead. Dairy cows usually have a calf every year. They treat her like a valuable member of the family when she see’s them she is like a toddler that wants attention. I am impressed by Janice’ concern for the ingredients she chosen . I am almost 80 and our generation grew up on spam , fried baloney, potatoes and canned veggies. So far I am in good health.

I love to read and your daughter Sara reminds me of myself growing up with the exception of me being an only child, I too can and used to get lost in books and my imagination πŸ˜‚ I helped mom in the kitchen but we weren't homesteaders we were just poor πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜… rich in love though. I love Jesus ❀️ ❀️ and so on. I love the whole family and congratulations Andrew on your Jeep can't wait to see what you do with it. God Bless y'all until next time…πŸ‘‹ 😊❀
