- čas přidán 11. 08. 2022
- Today I am taking you along to tour my fridge and pantry and share our recent grocery haul! This feels a little vulnerable for me, but every time I post one of my "meals we eat in a week" videos, I get several requests to share what I purchase for groceries. Since we just did a grocery pick up, I decided to finally show you what I normally like to purchase and what I always have on hand for easy meals!
Thank you to all those who have encouraged me to put a video like this together. I truly hope it was a help to you! What other grocery items are must haves in your home and why? I’d love to know in the comments below!

That was very interesting, and it gave me some ideas for myself. It saddened me, though, that you kept saying I don't eat perfect. At 65 years old, I've learned that seeking perfection only leads to stress and self loathing. I guarantee you that you're feeding your family much healthier foods than a great majority of people are. Processed foods in moderation are ok, IMHO. Looking forward to when you find the sourdough recipe you want. God bless.
I am so happy to read that it gave you some ideas, and thank you for your encouragement on not being perfect as well ❤
I agree! I’m going to be 67 in a couple of weeks. 80/20 is a good aim that will make a huge difference in almost ANY area!
No one is perfect, Andrea. Life is complicated. You are amazing!
What a phenomenal video! Yes, you are such a wonderful Mother & Wife by watching for your family’s health and well being! It’s not about what’s easiest and quickest as I see so many people purchasing pre-packaged meals, but about providing the proper nourishment, nutrients, and balance of the body’s requirements in food’s most whole and natural state. I was taught to predominantly shop the perimeter of the grocery store as a teen when I shopped for my mother…& that still holds true! Gardening was also something that my Mom, brother, and I did as a family as we were on a very strict budget, but it was the weekends of harvesting, canning, and prepping for freezing that I cherish so much, as I was doing those things as a kid & even currently, as an adult, alongside my Mom; I’m sure your boys are Big Helps like that, as well, and love to learn from their Mom!
You amaze me, Andrea, and you should be ever so incredibly proud of yourself as a Mother & Wife… I’ve seen alot in my years, from home visits with my profession and interviews with families across every level… you are truly an Angel on Earth in the way that you care and love your family!!! I sooo wish that every child had a mother even half as wonderful as you! Your parents are just gleaming with pride, I’m sure!💝
Alot of good ideas. No worries about what others think about what you have in your frig or cabinet. You are making conscience decisions about the food you are serving your children. Thanks for all the ideas.
It’s hard to eat healthy when the stores don’t carry a lot of organic items. You do what’s best for you and your family and don’t worry about any negative comments…you’re obviously doing a wonderful job for your family!!! Love you and your sweet attitude! 🙏🏻🤍🙏🏻☺️
I think you and your family eat healthy and reasonably. You don’t come off like a “ know it all” as some people do. You are wise and balanced. Most of all you are a loving Mom. 🥰
Well done!!!! I love when wives/moms are genuine about what works for them!!! You should feel proud in the way you are nourishing your family!
I think we are all always trying to improve our choices of products! It is just wonderful to see your creativity and humility in everything that you do! Your CZcams channel has blessed me so much!!
You are doing a great job with your food! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. None of us is perfect...it's about progress, not perfection ♥
Hi, I like to cook a big batch of dry beans in my insta pot and then separate it into freezer bags. Great to pull out of freezer for soups and meals. So cheap and easy!
Vinegars really do add so much to various dishes. Thanks for all the great ideas.
I don’t think you need to apologize. You are being genuine. 💗 And heading in the right direction by leaps and bounds. At age 63, I’m just now getting into eating healthier. You got me started on kefir smoothies, but I am wanting to make my own kefir. I’m glad to know this about oats! You have wonderful storage and gave some really good meal ideas!
And I love your videos. Jesus really shines through you, Andrea.
I actually enjoy seeing others fridge and pantry. It gives me ideas on cooking, recipes or I learn about products & their uses. Thank you for sharing Andrea!😊
I am so happy to read that Lilly, thank you! 😊
Thank you for sharing how to stock for fresher less processed meals for our families!💞
I hope it was a help to you Gaila! 😊😊
I’m so glad you shared the video because it can be helpful to see what others have. It gives new ideas for others! 💕
I sincerely appreciated this video! I struggle with cooking healthy eats that are tasty and need guidance. I also appreciate that you are showing food from Walmart and Aldi since those are my sources as well. If you weren't so busy, I would say you need a second channel for cooking! I do follow you on Instagram, so I do see you cooking and baking over there...it always looks delicious. Also, your family is eating wonderfully! Your real pantryband fridge tour was excellent! Thank you!
I think your doing a great job of feeding your family, fruit and veggies are important and a little bit of junk food doesn't hurt. Have a blessed weekend.
Excellent! I just wrote out my grocery list as I watched!
I loved this video! If there is one thing I like, it’s being a fly on the wall in peoples kitchens. Anywho, I’m a nutritionist and my approach is all about quality and sourcing your food carefully…it’s definitely a process so don’t feel bad!!! I recommend starting with one food you eat frequently and replacing it with a higher quality one. ☺️Btw your home is so beautiful! I love your taste!
Great video so many people don't realize the toxic things that are in our food today so it's good to share what you can to help enlighten them and along the way we all can make adjustments a little at a time that will help our families be healthier 🌻
Sugar is sugar whether it’s coming from ice cream or fruit. Of course fruit has vitamins fiber and other nutrients as well which makes it a healthier choice than ice cream but if anyone judges you for ice cream in your freezer they are most likely a hypocrite lol. I loved your video!!
Fantastic job!! You do a wonderful job providing healthy foods for your family. I work at a school and see many children bring just junk food for lunches. You are teaching your children something that will last a lifetime. Would love to see more recipes that you use for your meals☺️🍂❇️🍁
I know this was several months ago but I am just watching. This was a very valuable video. It is always good to see other people's process. thanks for sharing
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. Much of us aren’t perfect by any means and we don’t expect you to be, either!
I agree with meats, veggies and fruits. I run a home daycare and I spend less than $800 per month on food for all of us because we keep it simple and whole.
I love adding some oregano, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to my taco seasoning too. Chicken thighs are so good to cook with, so juicy!
You eat very healthy so don't worry if now and then you eat something different. We're all doing the best we can and that's all that matters.
Thanks for sharing this video when you weren't 100% confident with it. I really enjoyed it. Never feel bad, we are all a work in progress, right??!! Thank you, Jesus! His mercies are new every morning. 😊😇
You are very wise and beautiful a! That was fun! We have a lot of the same items! Your family is very blessed!
you do a GREAT job providing your family with healthy yummy food! tfs, I always like to peek into someone's kitchen! I find these chatty style videos so fun.
Thank you so much for sharing! My family eats very similarly and that was cool to see. We did a whole 30 probably 6 years ago now and that changed a lot of things for us... In a good way! Thanks again!
I love roasting veggies, just like you, easy and delicious. I think you eat very healthy, & organic. It's so great your boys eat veggies. You're a wonderful Homemaker, Mother & wife.
you never have to be - or eat perfectly. If it were possible I'd show you my fridge and pantry also. I like to use maple syrup in my coffee - we make it in March just for our family and I love it so much.
This was fantastic! Thank you 😊. My husband loves Bubly too, so much so that we finally just bit the bullet and bought a soda streamer. Saving money and he gets to drink all his favorite flavors. Also, maple syrup is good to roast carrots in - mmmm! Thanks again for this and all the knowledge you share with us!
Andrea, Your frig and pantry are full of healthy foods. I think if you eat 80% healthy you are doing very well, and you seem to be hitting that mark or higher. I liked the way you organized your spices with the raised rack. I need to organize my spice cupboard and you gave me some good ideas for that space. I agree having healthy ingredients on hand gives you many options for making a quick healthy meal. I am also trying to source healthy meat options. I am considering some of the mail order options for healthy meat that come directly from farmers or finding a farmer in my area that I can buy some organic beef, pork and chicken from. Currently I also buy my organic chicken and ground beef at Aldi. I usually get my wild caught Salmon from Trader Joes. Thanks for sharing your kitchen. Don't be so hard on yourself you are doing a great job providing healthy food for your family. I love watching your videos.
Lol love the baking aisle!🥰
LOVED THIS VIDEO!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!
love the tour and so many great idea's .
Hey Andrea!I think it is great how health conscious you are for your family!!Its an education for everyone all ages!!Thank you for sharing!!Happy Birthday to your little one!!!!Have a good weekend!😁🌻🦉🍁🐞🍂🍊🥧🎂🎂🎂
Loved this video !!!
Wow!! I'm so impressed with what you buy. I got so many ideas from you...thanks for sharing.
Your doing a good job Mama! Would love to see/get that granola recipe!!💕
Thank you so much and I will try to keep that in mind to share in the future! 😊
I loved this video! So fun to see how you stock your fridge and pantry. Thank you for sharing! 😊
I am so happy you enjoyed! 😊
Thanks for sharing, this was fun! We eat very similar. It's so much better for us. Your family is very blessed----great mom/homemaker. I love the thunderstorm and coffee, so cozy!🌻☕️
You have taught me so much thank you 🙏🏻💕
Thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us. You're a jewel and a blessing!
I also keep Heavy whipping cream on hand ,not just for coffee or soups, but for quiche.
When I take my quiches to church for a meal, I get asked "what kind did you make this time?"
Usually my response is "Refrigerator Quiche." I look to see what vegetables, meat, cheeses I have
and play with it. I usually use several different kinds of cheese as well as seasonings.
Sometimes i use pie crust, sometimes I make them crust less.
This was sooooo helpful!! Thankyou.
Great video!!
Thanks for sharing!
So glad you did this! I am older than you and farther behind you in the more natural journey! I have been wondering what you keep for all your great meal ideas. (I've seriously copied so many!) Thank you for putting yourself out there and doing this! I am sure I will revisit it! -Tammy❤☺
Thank you so much Tammy, I am so happy it was a help to you! ☺
I definitely enjoyed this! I’m also always looking for healthier options and working on getting better! But moderation for the “unhealthy or processed” foods. You’re doing great and totally normal! Thanks for sharing
Yummy items!!
Ha! We have the same fridge! Loved this video!
I agree with trying to source meat and even dairy is hard. I am not vegan because I do love cheese! but have never really enjoyed red meat. I remember my dad always grilled steaks in the summer. I was more about the baked potatoes then the steak! lol! I want to try sourdough but don’t have filtered water and keep forgetting to put water out overnight, but will get there soon. Being retired now and on a more fixed income we try to save wherever we can. TFS your pantry with us.
Very helpful! Thank you for your vulnerability. You gave me a lot of new ideas and confirmed things I’m doing right! I want to make a switch to coconut aminos!
A great Vlog Ms. A! Such important information and reminders for others (like me) that what we put in our bodies is so important. I think people equate ORGANIC with $$$. And yes it can be going to places like Whole Foods or Fresh Market. BUT you can also go to Walmart and one of my faves ALDI. I regularly post a pic to a friend who only shops the costlier grocery store "look at all I got from ALDI for $40.00"! LOL. Your boys enjoy fruits and natural veggies, a tribute to you and the good habits you are instilling. I am going to refer back to this Vlog for the next time I need to do a stock up. I know there is room for improvement in how I eat - thank you A for steering me back to how important it is!
Good video with great ideas for food prep! Thanks!!!
Of course, I hope it was helpful! 😊😊
Awesome video. I try to stay away from processed food too. You shared some great tips. I am interested in the kefir so I will have to learn more. ❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing.❤️❤️
I noticed that you keep your tomatoes in the fridge. I learned from cooking shows that they shouldn’t be refrigerated. I grew up with them being refrigerated too, so I tried leaving them on the counter and didn’t really notice a difference. Then I went back to putting them in the fridge and noticed the difference immediately! It’s a texture thing. Now I’m back to keeping them on the counter. You might want to just try it to see if you notice a difference too. Plus on the counter they’re another handy healthy snack! I also can’t put uncooked meat in the freezer or I never remember to thaw them! 😂 So instead I precook my meat containing recipes or keep them raw in the fridge and use them fresh right away. Ellie Krieger’s cookbook You Have It Made was a game changer for me because she not only gives cooking instructions but also instructions for reheating from frozen without needing to thaw!!! Thanks for sharing. I’m sure it was a big help to a lot if people. None of us eat perfectly. It’s finding a good balance. Happy 1st birthday to Isaiah tomorrow! 🎂🎉🎁🎊🎈🥳
That’s a great idea about cooking meat - I also, years ago, bought a Miracle Thaw tray & I literally don’t know what I would do without it - they work amazingly ! I think you can get them on Amazon & eBay !
Good tips . Thanks 😊
Hey Andrea GREAT 😊 ideas thank you and I just noticed that you put your feta in the freezer very interesting 🧐 anyway loving 🥰 your videos always sending you and the family many BLESSINGS 🙏
You don’t have to be perfect. Thank you for sharing.
Aw thank you, I am no where near it haha, but thank you so much for your sweet words and I hope it was a help to you 😊
I buy Raos sauce and marinara. It’s all natural, and hands down best sauce ever.
Thanks for the tour.
You should check out The Food Nanny for sourdough bread!!! Also, kamut flour!! She is a great baker and teacher. She bakes bread for her family. She has four children. I think you would probably be baking your own bread in no time.
Yes sources for meats are hard to find. I finally found one and a half a cow is 1200 🤪. I use to get it in PA and it was only 500 (12 yes ago).
But I have been buying from Azure Standards, mabe look into them for your organics as well. They do bulk as well.
Always a pleasure, be safe and God bless 🙏❤
Andrea, We are about to launch a CZcams channel and perfectionism has been my greatest obstacle to overcome. My husband keeps telling me people don’t want to see perfection; they want to walk with you and share the journey of real life. Of course none of us are perfect, but we’re all striving, growing and learning. After watching your channel for about a year, it’s been a blessing to see how you have made so much progress beautifying your home, raising your boys and serving God faithfully. ~Sarah T.
Thanks so much for sharing😃
Thank you Tammy, I hope it was helpful!! 😊
We love Bubly water!! Kefir sounds easy to make. I must try it.
No stress…..I have gotten tips and tricks too!! Thanks
You are very welcome! 😊😊
One of my favorite videos !!!!! Would love to see you make a meal, or a recipe etc. Thank you !
Hello Linda, I have a few different meals we eat in a week videos on CZcams, I also have a lot of recipes on my blog here - www.pineandprospecthome.com/category/day-to-day/recipes/
I'm happy I found your channel. I eat the same way. I don't know much about cooking though. I do read ingredients.
Well I think you are doing a right fine job! Finding good beef is hard for me too. There are some local farmers but they sell out months in advance.
This is what our fridge looks like too! But I totally have to meal plan - I get “cooking paralysis” if you will, when I don’t have a plan! I love that you have a “real” fridge and it’s not all organized & labeled aesthetically!
I completely understand that, some days are like that for me too, but that is when the brats are used haha! 😊😊
veggies roasted with crushed red pepper flacks and garlic is so flavorful!
Hi Andrea….you are doing a great job feeding your family!
As a more mature homemaker, it took me years to realize the healthy eating journey and I’m still not perfect but I do my best to use quality foods. I’m happy to see many things I use in your fridge and pantry. I was having the same issue as you trying to find good quality meat in the markets and I finally tried Butcher Box. I have been using them since February and I have been quite pleased with their products. Give them a try. Love your videos, especially the kitchen and cooking content. ❤️
Thank you so much Lisa, and I have heard of Butcher Box, they do have excellent meats! 😊
I’m using Butcher Block too and we just love it!
Another great video Andrea, please stop telling yourself you're not doing well with clean eating- what I saw and heard was fantastic & put me to shame tbh. I get that you're probably worried you'll get negative feedback but I can't imagine you would & if so ignore them, you are a excellent mother, homemaker & wife. I got so many tips from you here but some of the foods are not available in Ireland unfortunately. I thought the thunder was really loud throughout your video- nope . . .it's right outside my window 😁. All the best xx
Oh, we need rain in California!
Great ideas and so organized. Just a small comment. Refrigerated apples turn into pure sugar. A friend who is diabetic said she keeps her apples out on counter. So if trying to avoid sugar her dr said this is one fruit you do not want to keep cold even if your not diabetic! . Love all your videos! Thanks
hey girl- loved the video!😀 It was very interesting and encouraging! I try to eat healthier to. But I have such a sweet tooth and love to bake! 😉
Mushrooms have become so expensive now. If you want them to last longer, get them out of the store packaging. Throw them in a paper lunch bag. Don't wash them! They will last 7-10 days in the fridge depending on how fresh they were when you bought them.
I LOVE kefir! I get raw milk to make it and it is so yum!! Simple is always best for the foundation of meals and go easy on the boxed and canned goods. I always heard to shop the majority around the outer edges of the grocery store and very little in the middle. Good job mama.❤️
Yes, I have read that too! Thank you for sharing that, great advice! 😊
We do raw milk for our kefir anytime we can and it’s definitely the best. It even looks different in texture and consistency
Oh Andrea you eat more healthy than I do but I am doing better than I used too. So please do not worry about what others may say. Try not to stress yourself out by eating to perfect. I mean understand you want to eat healthy but no one is perfect and everyone allows themselves to have something not as healthy once in a while. Thanks for sharing
Our pantry and fridge items are almost identical! 😂 That's hilarious.
Haha that is amazing! 😊
Not always possible these days to eat a perfect diet. In Utah where I live, sometimes sections of the store are empty or only have a less quality item available, so I just go with it. I tried several sourdough recipes, but have settled on Lisa from Farmhouse on boones sourdough bread recipe and also have tried several of her other sourdough recipes, which are really good and turn out well.
I drink black ☕️or add a splash of half n half. I use HWC for my soups too.😋
I love Kerry Gold butter.👏🏻
I would love to be able to drink it black, but I can't haha! And I love Kerry Gold too! 😊
Love the refrigerator and pantry tour. Would love you to share your recipe for taco seasoning.
Aldi also has some good spray oils. You mentioned sourdough bread,is that healthier in some way? I love sourdough bread!
I've gotten so many ideas for meals in this video, thanks for the tip about making marinades I wouldn't have thought of the maple syrup for that. I love Bubly as well so I'm with him on that but my favorite brand is Polar Seltzer (not sure if you have that in your area)
I have not heard of that brand, but I will check it out! Thank you and glad to read you have gotten some ideas from this! 🙂
Can you make a video on how to make Kefir?
It is super simple, but you need to have kefir grains to begin with. I got mine from a friend, but there are a lot of places you can find them!
We have matching groceries lol. Best of luck with your sourdough recipes. Hope you have a fantastic day.
Thank you so much, have a wonderful weekend! 😊
@@PineandProspectHome You're welcome and thank you 🤗
Goodness I wouldn't know where to start!
I'm not sure if you're aware, but baby carrots are not really baby carrots. They're big carrots put through a cutting machine to cut them to size. Since they're put through a machine, they then rinse them in chlorinated water.
Yes I’ve heard about that .
Oh about the spices, I alphabetize mine! It seems a bit obsessive but it makes it soooo easy to find what I’m looking for! And I’m with you on the Bubly. They used to have it for free in the fridge at work so I tried it, but just didn’t like it!
I alphabetize my spices too. So easy to find what you’re looking for!
Such a good video! Thank you for posting this :)
Could you share some of your sourdough starters?
I will try to post more about sourdough in the future, I just feel like I am still learning myself! 😊
@@PineandProspectHome sounds good! Take your time 😊
I eat similar to you,have you ever tried grass fed bison? It’s delicious,as well as get Hatfield brand pork…super tender ! Thanks,I very much enjoy your videos!
I have not tried it, thank you for the suggestions I will need to look into these! 😊
Thank you for sharing, inspirational. Could you share how you use the coconut oil? I have put MCT Oil in my smoothies...same use?
Thank you for sharing with us. You mention your desire to improve the quality of some of these ingredients, and I'm wondering if you've heard of Azure Standard? You can get your basics like unbleached organic all purpose flour, honey, oats, etc.
I don't think I have? Thank you so much, I'll look into it! 😊
I think Lisa has a podcast about Azure grocery orders, it’s an older one
Put stevia drops in the bubly! It’s yummy
I know several people in the ag industry down by you, I’ll ask around about beef for you. When you do get your 1/2 cow I recommend shrink wrap and chest freezer is a must as they are not frost free and your meat keeps a lot longer and better.
I’m heading down your way in the near future for potatoes and carrots you guys have the best for the best price! I’m not above using deer apples for my apple sauce lol
Like I said some day you need to take a road trip to Williams in Linwood for cheese I think you’ll be impressed.
Do the boys ever see the beet hauler’s this time of year? My guys (big and little) 😊 always enjoyed seeing all those trucks hauling beets
Thank you so much for all of these suggestions! I really would love to find grass fed beef locally, that would be a dream! And yes, beet season is almost here! Always lots of trucks 😊
Now I need to learn how to make my own kefir. Hope it’s better than the kombucha I tried las year!
Please don't make excuses; your options are realistic and are very healthy! Do you use Wal-Mart grocery delivery? I have never used any delivery but I like all the organic options available. We don't have an Aldi in our town yet...
Thanks for sharing your pantry and frig contents. You are doing great No need to be perfect. Only thing I do different is the sugar. Being diabetics requires a little different outlook on sugar. For me maple syrup, honey, ate same as domino cane sugar. I am not perfect. Once in long while I have little treat. No one eats perfect. You are doing great.
Make sure your oats are organic. They are heavily sprayed with roundup. Costco has a great non gmo sprouted organic oats
I love watching your food/recipe videos because I am GF as well! It’s nice getting other ideas! Do you make GF sourdough pancakes?
I haven't done a lot with sourdough yet, but I have a lot of GF recipes on my blog! There is a yummy pumpkin pancake recipe here as well! - www.pineandprospecthome.com/?s=gluten+free
