We're a family of 5 of as well, but all my kids are heavy eaters. (they're also a little older than your kids, *grin*). Keep on doing what you're doing - you give me ideas. And it's very interesting reading along your experiences with SFG - I too started a SFG this year - and for us, it's been a break even thing - the expenses ended up being the same as the savings from teh grocery store - so next year, here's hoping we all have even more abundance! :) just thought i’d add a note – did you know that carrot tops are completely edible? they are really good in a salad or even plain – with some ranch dressing on them. :)

I just strain the juices and maybe add 1-2 cups of water after its all cooked and then put it into the fridge. Let it cool, the skim off the fat layer (this is not necessary, but how I prefer to do it), then place the stock into a freezer baggies and freeze. Thaw when you need it for soup! Erin @Sarah,

You don't need to do anything else? I'm starting to try to make stuff like that myself.

I just throw the leftover beef, carrots, celery and in my case potatoes into the crockpot with adequate broth along with a can of crushed or diced tomatoes and let simmer all day. Towards the end of cook time add a few handfuls of frozen peas or corn and heat through. Creating a second satisfying meal from the remaining roast beef, family loves its. Erin,
