Laurel-in-CA Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I will add that our county has a FB page for gardeners and there are always exchanges of seeds/suggestions on there. NextDoor also lists overabundances of fresh produce to be shared/traded. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mum Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 If no one has mentioned it yet, there is a wonderful blog with TONS of money saving help. It's written by a mom who fed her family entirely from her food storage and garden for more than a year. She has a section with recipes and how to eat for 40 cents a day. If anyone is looking to save money, her blog is awesome. theprudenthomemaker.com/blog/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 2 hours ago, Dreamergal said: I do not know if your family eats ethnic food and even if you do Indian food is one of them. Your family is dealing with a lot of change and changing food drastically may not be an option. However, if you want to reduce on meat and try a new cuisine at the same time, Indian vegetarian is for you. https://www.indianhealthyrecipes.com/recipes/veg-recipes/ Paneer is home made cottage cheese. I will not overwhelm you by giving a recipe for home made but will say if you have Instant pot, it basically makes itself. You can find paneer in an Indian store or can substitute tofu. We were a family that ate out at restaurants pretty often, enjoyed various kinds of cuisines. When COVID shut everything down, we cooked every single morsel we ate and rarely went out. I had help with DH and the kids with everything from prep to actual cooking, but the cooking everything became overwhelming. So we made it a game of watching various cuisines on youtube and making them. We went for hearty, simple and healthy often. Various cuisines have that. One of the easiest I found was sheet pan suppers. I like them because it is easy, looks good, is healthy and clean up is a breeze. https://www.healthy-delicious.com/20-healthy-sheet-pan-dinners-for-busy-weeknights/ Those sheet pan dinners look delicious! Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAS in LA Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Mentioned above but worth repeating: show and tell your DH that you love him. Support him however you can. Job hunting can be more discouraging than losing a job, and (IME) he needs to feel that you love and respect him no matter what. Praying for you all! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
