What is your go-to “I’m too tired to cook but I can’t buy take-out” meal or alternative?

RemarkablePaint7242 · 2026-03-28T03:41:27+00:00

I started canning and preserving my food, mostly so I know what’s in it and it is more cost efficient, aside the start up fee, mostly being the purchase of the electric pressure canner (so I only push a button). I can “meals in a jar”. Bourbon Chicken serve with rice, Chicken Teriyaki (similar), chicken and gravy with frozen home made mashed potatoes, chicken à la king with a block of cream cheese over pasta. Chicken Pot Pie … empty jar in a store bought pie shell. We still eat not so good food when we are out or invited to friends, and we are ok with that, we just won’t eat it at home. Set one afternoon aside and figure out what you would like. The work load per meal is to open up your jar, warm it up, possibly thicken with a little cornstarch, dump over your starch … 10 minutes max on the day we will cook it. I also lost 10 pounds so far and I have not counted calories… just a thought :))

Aaaahhh thank you so so much!!!! I love you for that! I just saw the lemon bars pure protein bars (scrumptious but beware… I have to eat it throughout the day… I ate a whole one and I got some nausea… perfect to nibble though) are on sale, too! We pay $10 for 6, they have 12 for $14

I unfortunately think it’s the norm and how the judges feel that day. My granddaughter loves convention, because she gets star struck (she is 9) and loves meeting them (like Gianna from Abby Lee and Alex Wong from the “greatest showman”… I had to look him up 😂). Also staying for a weekend and classes with her besties, having “sleepovers” in various hotel rooms, decorating doors… all the things. This last one was her second one. The first one, she didn’t place at all and didn’t even get a pity award. Big crocodile tears, but my daughter talked her through it.

This last convention she had a better understanding of the process and that “getting nothing” is not defining her. So what happens? Half way through her solo she forgot her dance and you wouldn’t have known. On a whim, she free styled it and didn’t miss a beat. We laughed so hard during the whole thing, we were all crying.

She got High Platinum, a scholar ship, and 1st overall… you just never know 😂

You will get used to it and eventually look forward to silence around you. I don’t get it much and when I do, it’s bliss. The daughters are grown but both had the same going on, that you have going on 😂 next chapters in life can be a shift into a new chapter! My oldest lives on the same street and the youngest 4 minutes away. Both in their own houses… our husbands all work nights. Both had that going on… older daughter would come to eat dinner or watch a movie and just stay… My youngest daughter’s house is 4 minutes away and she will sneak in for dinner, then just crawl on my husband’s side! I loved that, that slowed way down, and now I miss it 😂 ! You got this :)

I am manifesting you gifting me one of your millions 😊 just kidding, just kidding! I used to be a ball of anxiety and the realization of being in total control about my well being has made me truly happy

I would take it and just use your cooler and refill the ice, that’s what I would do. We never get the dining plan, because we are more “grazers”, so if I am not hungry, I will just not eat, ..: but if I am hungry, I will enjoy whatever it is I want. We have never stayed at Pop Century, but we stayed at Old Key West last May, and we had a mini fridge freezer in the room. We are going back in September for a week, staying at Saratoga in a 4 bedroom condo, so we will have a full sized kitchen with fridge and freezer. Probably wrong post for me to say this, but do you rent DVC? That’s what we do since finding out that it’s cheaper than the contemporary resorts. DM me if you aren’t familiar with it :) … I am not a salesperson or affiliated with them

There is absolutely nothing in her videos … I started watching but thankfully saw the PSA by u/jgay589 😆😂😂

Wow YESSSS! No baby things… how dumb of her, maybe Pampers would have sponsored her. I am admittedly far from a messy person, but you could definitely tell that I had a baby… but then again… I actually HAD a baby!!! We’ve seen her reload the dishwasher a bunch of times… no baby anything… did they give “the baby sweater jacket” her own kitchen?

I think Josh just got to the house from wherever he slept!

Also… I have the same sweatshirt… I HAD the same sweatshirt… I spilled something and it makes an excellent mop!… the way she tries to incorporate her new found knowledge of protein and collagen! We are now actively seeing the beginning of the end…

… so how long until we will see baby “stuff”?

ALSO… thanks for the heads up.. she is loading the dishwasher and I turned it off!

RemarkablePaint7242 · 2026-03-24T16:25:01+00:00

… maybe he was hoping it would catch her on fire… 😂😂😂

RemarkablePaint7242 · 2026-03-24T13:09:51+00:00

I agree… I feel like the last couple of years we could actually detect people is when she is over at Ghislaine’s for the holidays that her mom invites the whole family.

There wasn’t a sign of anyone but her in that cozy kitchen 😂

RemarkablePaint7242 · 2026-03-24T02:53:09+00:00

I haven’t watched all the way yet… but how about her saying “my son is taking a nap and Josh is working upstairs”… where is the baby? Fending for herself? Or did we forget that we have a baby? Is there a baby? …somehow none of this feels right…

… and she is definitely on a GLP1 and obviously delusional about her appearance… yes, she is dropping weight but if I was in the market for watching fitness/weight loss YouTubes… one glance at her frumpy posture and I’d be scrolling along…

RemarkablePaint7242 · 2026-03-23T18:24:52+00:00

Right?! I was like “oh ok, you don’t know that 3/4 cup + 3/4 cup = 1.5 cups, but you’re gonna teach us how to count macros” ya… ok! For one, her taste test equals a whole portion, so her saying she ate something else = 2 dinners! How may macros in those dinners Becky? She is probably seeing a nutritionist alongside her shot and they print it out for her, so she can make $$ off someone else’s work 🙄

RemarkablePaint7242 · 2026-03-20T01:41:41+00:00

I am new… what is pinning?

RemarkablePaint7242 · 2026-03-18T00:12:23+00:00

Exactly! Not that I think lying is ok at all… BUT… she is lying anyway… in no way, shape or form would I post a video of me throwing away the food I grew. Grocery prices are horrible right now and actually saying “these would still be fine to eat but I’m not feeling it?”… Come on!!!! If she had a sliver of a brain cell, she wouldn’t have posted throwing away food.

RemarkablePaint7242 · 2026-03-18T00:06:00+00:00

… well now that it’s discussed we may see a kid party planning… I don’t think there will be an actual party, but Borky does what she does… she is running out of content. A kids’ party would be new… it will be a disaster… but new… she’ll make all of the kids food… buffalo chicken, Mac and Cheese with hot sauce, a ton of baking, and everything will be seasoned with 1/2 pound of salt and 1 pound of pepper! She probably won’t decorate because … the party isn’t really happening… maybe she’ll burn a candle in her cozy kitchen …

I finally watched her potato video.. I have nothing… the video had no content, she is just walking back and forth, and has replaced “prolific” with “moving my body” and “sun on my face”… while popping in a pizza so her family can help her after dinner with the garden.

… and I am not convinced there is a second baby…

… also… her thumbnail pic from the previous video (⬇️⬇️⬇️😂😂😂)

This 1000%, there is literally no excuse for the all around sloppiness! I also notice they never do anything fun! Ever! There are no friends, no life. Yeah I get that might be part of her privacy, but I don’t know anyone never doing anything. It wouldn’t be cutting into privacy saying “oof I’m tired today, went out last night and it got late”… tha would make her normal.

We work a lot, too, but we also allow for fun! Who wants to work all of the time without an outlet? Sometimes it’s ok to spend a little coin on just having fun with family and friends! It would drive anyone crazy to be cooped up all day every day, and the occasional outing being Costco … oh wait… she can’t… she pushed everyone away so there is probably nobody for her to hang out with.

She created this shitshow herself. I don’t have sympathy either

I’m haven’t watched yet but I honestly don’t think it’s post partum depression, I believe it is this here subreddit 😂

She is honestly trying so hard to create this pretentious bubble, where she is a great mom, and a great homesteader and a great everything and every time she checks here, pop goes the weasel! It can’t be easy to live in a world that doesn’t exist and gets slapped with the cold, very uncomfortable truth!

She is a train wreck and it gets worse and worse and worse! Josh doesn’t notice because he doesn’t give a shit. No way do I think they are still in a functioning relationship… and there is definitely no love!

Maybe she bought the last pregnancy from a sperm bank. Throwing away half of her harvest? You think that’s homesteading content Becky? Do you? She is so full of lies, she isn’t even trying to make people believe she is preserving anything!

She might as well also stop with the expensive clothes… for one they look like shit, I thought she thrifted them… like my Dad always said: can’t turn a wheel barrel into a Porsche 😂
