Molasses is excellent!!! I take it everyday in my coffee for the iron, calcium and copper. I have about 4 gallons on hand to give my kids as supplement in case we run out of vitamins. It’s a superfood. Cheap on Azure Standard.
I’ve never thought to put it in coffee. Great idea!
I am going to try that. I never heard of that but I am extremely anemic. My doctor started me on iron supplements and a multi vitamin.n
I had no idea. Thank you. Those are the kind of things we need to know and share with others
I got a couple of gallon jugs so I could make my own brown sugar. I can just focus on loading up on white sugar which is cheaper and make brown sugar as needed.
Yes, and you can also combine it with a can of fish to make fertilizer, so it’s a real survival item!
Here's a tip until your tomatoes come in, go to Sam's and buy the 6lb can of crushed tomatoes for 3.74. It works out to. 50 cents a pound then water bath can them in smaller jars.
This is without a doubt the best prepper video I've ever seen in my several years of watching prepper videos! I love the way you're asking questions to get us thinking instead of all the suggestions of typical prepper videos. I've learned so much from this less than 10 minute video including a few pantry meals I already have that I didn't even know I had. Thank you for this video!
Thank you Rose! That’s probably the kindest most encouraging comment I’ve ever received. So glad you found it helpful!☀️
I agree, your video is the best ever. I enjoyed watching as well as listening. Your very thoughtful, informative, & making one think through the
Possibility of being without a grocery store for a year or longer.
This is by far the best video on this topic I’ve seen. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I am praying many people are able to see this and take heed. Prayers for your family.
Thank you! I pray the same. Bless you!☀️
Yeah u better watch out, the snowflake world might run out of lattes and the right to tell the rest of us "we offended". gawd, young people.
I just admire your pantry. It is so organized. This video really got me thinking about my own food storage as well at what my grandmother did on her farm in NC. She mostly lived off the land. She had chickens, pigs, beef & dairy cows, fruit trees, 3 gardens, grape vines, bees for honey. She made her own butter, bread, ketchup, pickles, jams & cheese. She canned applesauce, peaches, & vegetables. The only things she would buy at grocery store were mustard , sugar, PB, & oatmeal. I just realized the meals she didn’t have. She never cooked spaghetti, stroganoff, macaroni salad I guess because she didn’t buy pasta. She must have purchased molasses from someone because that is what she served with pancakes.
Beautiful Pantry!!! What a blessing.
I asked myself what would I do if I had 1 or 2 years of stored food and a Tornado or a Flood or a Fire destroyed my food along with my Garden Seeds and there are no Grocery Stores? I'm not living in fear but anything could happen. I've always kept a lot food in my home, especially the Fall/ Winter Season but you gave me something to think about. Thank you. If I did lose it all, I would just say to myself, "I'm glad God isn't dead." I really, truly enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.
This was so great, thank you!
Something I just learned about: Nestle makes Media Crema and WM carries it; 1 can mixed with 1 TBSP vinegar makes sour cream. We tried it last night with our tacos, and my husband says it passed the taste test!
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing!
I was just going to suggest the Nestle Crema too. Has anyone used it? I put some in my pantry but not sure how to use it. I've found lots of recipes.
Interesting info!
This is my favorite prepper ever. She has a video on it. czcams.com/video/8FokHKteRSc/video.html
I bought a couple cans of this too because I heard somewhere that you can whip it into butter but I haven't tried it yet.
I’ve been living the “stocked pantry” lifestyle for many years now, but I’ve begun to think more seriously on longer term food storage. What I need and want to do is take a good inventory of what is there so I have a realistic idea. I also recently heard a podcast with the author of A Year Without the Grocery Store and would like to read this book.
I’ve been thinking more about our “long term layer” lately as well. I feel like 12-18 months is probably plenty but I’m not sure we’re quite there.
I think I have this book, and if I remember right, it's based on freeze dried type foods (the kind you think of for long term storage).. if it's the one I'm thinking of.
@@Pursuit.of.Simplicity if you haven’t already seen it, the Mormon folks have a lot of good info online ( charts, amounts etc) about what’s needed for one year per your family size. The information is broken down by pounds in category of foods.
@Pursuit of Simplicity I would say have enough food stored to be able to feed your family for 7 years as the Great Tribulation will last that long according to the Book of Revelation.
@@petersmith2040 😂You would need a separate HOUSE to store that much food. Growing, raising, and hunting our own food is vital.
Great pantry. Love that your children are learning as a team. Getting back to a simpler way of living is vital for all of us. Blessings to you from Portland, Oregon.
This was jaw dropping! I had never thought about this in the extremely wise and gentle way you have presented us with. I thank you for this refreshing and powerful video.
During the beginning of the pandemic I started stoxkimg up and i would think ahead to what holidays and birthdays were coming up and prepare months ahead. Maybe buy enough cake mixes and frosting for each person for the year. I saw simple recipes for making your own tortillas they can be used in place of bread can be fried instead of oven baked if you had no use of an oven. You xan make refried beans or stock up cans ro make a bean burrito or taco. I ask myself if i didnt have electricity or fas to power a generator how to i refrigerate food i looked into solar generators or alternative methods which foods need to be refrigerated after opening like large jars or cans of certain foods, mayo or leftovers. Also when looking at your stockpile always consider how many people you are feeding and their ages do you gave small kids or teenagers whixh effects how much you need. 4 cans of spaghettios or raviolis might take 3 to 4 cans to serve 4 adults for lunch. 2 or 3 cans of soup for 4 adults. 12 cans of something looks like alot until you tell yourself that will only make 3 to 4 lunches for 4 people. The things i think about now i never thought about until 2020.
Wow that is true
Having lots of cans can fool you if you don't count how much is needed per meal
I thought I had enough but I think I don't
It's 7 of us, two adults and 5 kids
Awesome video. This definitely gives me more ideas to get our pantry diversified. We are currently working on getting up to a one year supply and writing down our recipes instead of relying on my Pinterest. Thank you for keeping our wheels turning. Thank you for sharing!!!
Luckily, I started prepping about 10 years ago so I have several #10 cans and a few buckets of things already. Plus non food prep items as well. I'm always adding to it, rotating it etc and watching videos for ideas. I keep a close inventory of what I have in a binder and update after several meals were made or after shopping. This week I added a lot of coffee and canned meats.
How can you afford Canned Meats now with these High Prices?? I have put away Lots and Lots of Canned Meats, but No More. Canned Meats have Doubled in price so I can't but those items any longer.
@@gailcurl8663 Walmart has their Great Value brand of canned chicken for $20 for a case of 12. Great source of protein for a good price!
Spam and canned ham/corned beef can last indefinitely when stored properly. They contain Sodium Nitrate/Nitrite which acts as a preservative and they are not healthy to eat. However, having something to eat in an SHTF scenario is way better than starving to death.
There is nothing like a well stocked pantry❤🙂. Thank you so much for sharing and encouraging others to ensure their family has what they NEED❤
My pleasure. I hope it was helpful☀️
I LOVE this pantry! The organization, shelves’ height and depth, strength capacity of shelves to hold that much; the bright light so you can read labels. Wow! This is a dream-come-true pantry.
Hello! I just found your channel and am excited to look back on your other videos. Fellow prepper and beginning gardener here. I just started pressure canning and can't wait to fill up some pantry shelves with some yummy home canned goodness!
New subscriber here. Love this video. I live in a rural remote town in Northern Canada and out food prices are very high. I spend about $300 a week for a family of 4. I’m slowly building up a pantry and the questions your posed in this video have been very helpful. Thanks so much :)
What a calming video!!!! Thank you so much for this tour of your lovely pantry.
Thank you!☀️
Thank you. I've been preparing our food storage the past months after receiving several promptings to get cracking. I've struggled to get my family onboard with the urgency. After showing them your video they seem a bit more motivated. Thank you. Stay safe.
That’s quite a compliment. Thank you! And I’m thankful it was encouraging and motivating to your family that has been a bit more resistant.☀️
I love this series. Thanks for showing your beautiful pantry. I have a lot stored but it is not organized well. I still need to round it out. I really appreciate your ideas on this. I'd be bare bones before long so I have work to do.
It’s basic this video but it hits the nail directly on the head! Please keep posting!
Thank you☀️Glad it was helpful.
really good vid thank you! Nice take on the old idea of just showing what you have in your pantry. Good thought piece that has me thinking!
Ok! So i‘m off… making a inventory…
This was truly helpful. Thank you from Austria 🇦🇹❤️
That’s wonderful! ☀️
Thank you, you are so informative, i live in Florida so we have to be careful of bugs. I have pantry wise about 6 months, but i really want to add to make it stretch
Your pantry is beautiful! Wonderful video. Encouraging and inspiring.
I love the idea of a complete inventory divided by 12 and mentally put the meals together..... Thank you - that helps focus my efforts. I am dehydrating mixed veggies and spinach to add to my dehydrated minestrone in a jar!
Dehydrating what we don't eat fresh so even the little things don't go to waste... my mom recently asked why? Just so there's no waste
Something i did that was tedious as well, for example a bulk box of pasta, say from Sams or Costco...I took the serving size of total box. Every long term pantry item I counted and added up all the serving sizes. I got an idea of how many meals I could "create". And stretch if we only made 2 meals (serving sizes) into how many meals. Also some serving sizes are pretty large portions. I did this for breakfast items. Lunch/dinner items.
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
Just came across your channel. Great info and a calming voice. You sound a bit like Really Graceful. Thank you for sharing this.
What an awesome video! This certainly encouraged me to organize my food preps! 😀
I’m so glad to hear that!
Such a nice calming voice! Great info. I just watched a very anxious channel who were basically ranting at her public and calling them stupid or dumb for not listening. Very upsetting. (Still shivering) You are a blessing with the same info but a much better approach. Have to stay with you calm and informative ladies who respect thier audience. Blessings!!
Thank you for your kind words. Glad to have you here.☀️
Thank you for this video, has me adding an entry to my book for looking ahead & how to prepare even more. I need to get that book, I have heard other stalk about but now with personal life changes it’s time to shift my way of thinking. 🙏🙏
Loooove you videos. It isn’t about your stash, it is about us thinking it through for our family. So glad I came across your videos
Thank you! Im glad you’re here.☀️
WOW!!!! YOU ROCK baby girl!!! A 'visual' combination of GARDEN preservation and STORE BROUGHT goods! Of course we should do both! Would love to see your INFRASTURE (SHTF) preps. Thank you for this video! Be blessed!
Thank you! Bless you!☀️
I just stumbled onto this~! Wow, very thought provoking. I've been putting off taking inventory of my stash, but you've convinced me that it's time. And I am going to look up that book. Thanks for your ideas!
This!
Look up prepper nerd. He has a great spread sheet software. It tally’s everything and gives you totals. You can put in the people you have and put in calorie needs and as you add to your inventory it shows it on a graph and by days weeks and months how much have. Sounds hard but it’s the easiest thing I have ever seen. Watch a example on CZcams
@@blueskye991178 Thank you! I will look this up! Great idea.
Lots to think about there! I’d love to know more about the minestrone, and pre prepared (by you) things. Always need ideas! Thank you so much for sharing 😊 lots of love from the U.K. 🌱
I added the link to my minestrone in a jar video in the description box.☀️
One of the most important things we did (I think), over the last two years, was build relationships with the local farming community - meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, produce. Having multiple sources is so important! I also ordered from Azure Standard this month - I haven't placed an order with them in probably six months...
Nice stockpile! Your voice is so calming.
What a wonderful way to take a new look at my pantry. Thank you!
I’m so glad!☀️
I just came across ur channel n yeah I'm subscribing TY for ur channel because u speak the TRUTH
Great video!! Especially with that volume of product, remember to rotate your stock so nothing goes to waste! 👍👏😊
Best video out here!!! Great questions!!!
Wow! Audrey, this really hit home. Ty.
My pleasure! I’m glad it was helpful☀️
You are so helpful and you hav such a kind sweet spirit. Thanks for sharing.
I just found your channel . Thank you for your calm voice and a video full of helpful thoughts.and ideas .
Welcome!☀️
To the point, no babbling. Great video post!
You've raised some good questions. Thank you.
Ps. Loved the rooster crowing!!
😂I was waiting for someone to comment on Mr. Bingley. I finished editing my video on the back deck and he started crowing one right after another.🐔
Excellent, the best presentation of a well thought out pantry. KUDOS TO YOU
Great ideas. Definitely gonna try the African soup. I also love 7 can soup . Can chicken, beans, broth, tomatoes, green chilies, corn, enchilada sauce. Add taco seasoning makes a great taco chicken soup.
You are making some really good points that we all need to pay attention to . If shtf or just any kind of extended power outage we will all be eating many things we normally don't eat & we will miss many of the completely unnecessary snack foods . Many peoples health will probably improve greatly due to lack of those things . A good item to have on hand are the old cook books because they have the basic recipes that don't take many ingredients to make . All take care.
This is fantastic! Thanks so very much!
Good information and saying things that make us think about certain items that we didn’t think of.
Ok I really needed this! I didn’t think about having my recipes printed. I have everything on my phone. That definitely won’t help me if I can’t access the internet.
New subscriber! I've been watching your videos and really enjoy your information it's very helpful!🙂
Welcome Sara! ☀️
Thanks so much! It's so tuff trying figure everything out. When your plates already full with life an kids. Money short. I did find a dry bag of 15 different bean soup at Walmart that I never heard of or saw.
Even $10/week for beans, rice, oats, flour, sugar, and oil will go a long way in building food storage. Rotate what you buy each week and make sure you print recipes for your favorite frugal meals.☀️
Excellent information and motivation and would like to add make sure you save your seeds and plant heirloom only. A water filter system would also be extremely important
Loved loved this video I think it was an awesome video to open people's eyes thank you so much for sharing
Very helpful. I do need to write down some recipes for making bread. We are making home made tortillas, but should be able to make pitas and buns. It would be nice to have a video on looking at your pantry and what you can make with these items. You did that but it would be great to have another that tells us more. Its just the two of us and we get into a pattern of making the same things.
When making your flour tortillas leave it thick to about 4" instead of rolling to full size. Put your griddle (comal) on medium low heat and cook. When done slit from the top but not all the way and fill with refried beans or whatever. It’s like a mexican pita bread and my mom would make them for us as you can cook about 3-4 at a time. I use my same flour tortilla recipe to make meat turnovers and fruit turnovers with some cinnamon and sugar to top it. Deep fried tortillas become sopapillas with the cinnamon/sugar combo or honey and cinnamon on top. My husband has the sweet tooth in our family so it’s always easy to make him his dessert. I buy my pie fillings at Dollar Tree for $1.25 so I always have plenty on hand for him. My dehydrated rice is easy to hydrate a small portion (I place some with hot water in a small thermos to hydrate) and make him his sweet rice.
I love everything about this video. So many questions that most have not thought of. Excellent food for thought.
Thank you!☀️
Excellent excellent video Audrey. Very informative and thought-provoking which I think was the goal. Thank you so much my only thought was… Boy I wish I had all your recipes! Maybe an upcoming book? Kind of kidding because I know you’re very busy but that would be awesome🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! It has crossed my mind. Maybe over the next few years.☀️
What an excellent video. You really got me thing about no grocery store for a year. I think I've been grabbing things that I really don't eat, ie canned foods etc.. I need to get organized and take inventory of what I do have. Space or there lack of is an issue so I think I'll purge my clothes closet and use that along with my towel closet. It doesn't help matters living with someone who refuses to see what's going on and therefore there's no prepping on his part and it's his home! Ugh.
So glad it was helpful☀️
Excellent, thought provoking video. Thank you!!
Thank you☀️
Your voice is so calm and great for podcasts ❤
Thank you. That’s very kind.☀️
Good video. Your voice is so smooth it sounds like you are reading an audiobook!
Thanks😁☀️
Lady your voice is angelic lol. Just mesmerized by the awesome video and voice
Wow, thank you☀️
Good video. When you said " How much meat do you have in your refrigerator", it made me think. I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FOR THE WHOLE WEEK. 🤔 you got my wheels turning.
That’s exactly what I hoped to do.☀️Thanks for sharing!
"I need to do inventory as well thanks for the encouragement"
Thank you for this video I will be replaying this one for a while
That’s actually a great idea to take inventory then divide things by 12 so you know how much you’d get a month to make it last a year. I actually can’t wait to start counting my items now because I have no idea how long my stockpile would last
Very inspiring ! Thankyou !
This is an excellent video, thank you for posting!
Thank you☀️
Although I haven't tried, I've seen recipes using coconut milk to make sour cream! Thanks for the ideas, here. I need to stock up on salad dressings and condiments.
Great video ! Tfs
Thank you so much for sharing this video and your kind well meaning and much needed thoughtfulness. I love the simplicity and smartness stocking, combining what you have recipes for. Where do I find your minestrone recipe?
I added the link to the minestrone in a jar video in the description box.☀️
@@Pursuit.of.Simplicity thank you so much, really helpful. Will definitely make this plus your West African peanut soup. Putting up food is one thing, knowing how to prepare great tasting food from it is an art. Seriously needed advice, this helps tremendously.
Sour cream- canned crema add a splash of vinegar!
Cheese- I freeze blocks and shredded. If no power, I have powder cheese and shelf stable parmigiana.
Oh thank you kindly! Your minestrone in a jar idea is brilliant! I received a dehydrator for Christmas and MUST get busy, your recipe has ignited an end game, I so needed. Simple vegetables jarred would provide me so much possibility. Celery, bell pepper, carrot, etc. May I inquire, I noticed you have your canned mason jar products stacked. New to food storing, but have seen others say never stack. So it is ok?
In exchange for you brilliant minestrone in a jar idea I leave a few:
Canned tuna can be drained dry of all fluid, seared in a pan in fat of your choice and seasoned to ANY flavor. Taco, Italian, etc. Cheap protein. Far more versatile than traditional salad.
Chia Seed is a POWER house of nutrition. You can replace eggs in baking. Thicken things, and make a pudding like tapioca. 2# walmart baking isle should be under $10
Liquid smoke can be used in places meat eaters rely on bacon flavoring. Beans, stews, fried potato, scrambled egg.
Indian Fry Bread is made with just flour (gluten free too) and water. BP helps add loft but trial run quick breads so you will have the confidence you can.
Hot water corn bread is another. Corn meal, hot water. I add salt, sugar and Baking powder. Fry in oil shaped flat palm size patty.
Also while it is processed, there are cheeses that are shelf stable until opened. Big lots currently sells 4 varieties and they are under $3 for 12ounces.
Canned evaporated milk, will take less water to reconstitute than powdered.
Tomato paste can be reconstituted. You can make pasta sauce and the small can takes up so little space and priced 3 for a dollar often.
Simplicity pursuit is quite noble for all to strive for. Thanks for the encouragement. ~ Be well.
Thank you for this info!!!! 🙏🏼
@@imeverywoman3582 😚
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing.
What a great little video.
Thank you Kim☀️
This is such a great video. So many things I need to add. I live alone, but have 2 daughters w/families who aren't on board yet. So I'm stocking for 9. So many things I need yet. But your video calms me and keeps me moving in the right direction.
Thank you. I’m so glad it was helpful!☀️
I understand the feeling. I have one daughter, her husband and their daughter who live near us. But they live in a really small living quarters, so not really enough room to stock. But, they think everything will be just fine. My son still lives with us and my youngest daughter lives out of state with her husband and their baby. They were here for Easter and I sent several food items back with them. They are a young married couple and don't have much money. I still feel like I need to buy more, because I am looking at possibly feeding at least 6 of us and could be more if something happens. I would probably take in my neighbor as I have known him for years and he knows how to hunt. I really hope nothing happens, but I would rather be prepared than not.
I enjoy seeing others pantry also. I always see something that I have forgotten to buy.
Me too!☀️
I love the video I going to see if I can find the book I am just starting to prep. Maybe that book can really help me out.
I have a video on “Food Storage for Beginners” if you need a quick cliff notes version to get you started!☀️I’ll add the link to the description box.
Sure I would love to have cliff notes thank you.
Beautiful pantry, excellent video.
Will you please share your minestrone in a jar recipe? please!! That would be such a blessing!! And the two other soups you mentioned!!
This video really makes you think..and act...I love 💕 it
Thank you! I love hearing that.☀️
Thank you for your excellent video... You have an amazing pantry there.... It is hard to store enough food for a year and eat healthy. Right now I only eat meat, salt and one cup of black coffee per day... I don't eat any grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts or seeds.... ( this is for my health, not because I don't like them) Yet, I have enough food stored for a year for myself... If I am really faced with starvation I would eat legumes before anything else so I have a lot of those stored up. I have other foods stored but mostly to give away or barter with if I have to. I don't store any processed foods at all. I pressure canned up more than 300 jars of beef, pork, chicken, duck, turkey, lamb and other foods that will be for other people. I have another 100 jars ready to fill now. I also have every kind of seafood available in cans.
Very well done. Thank you ♥️
What a great video!
Good video I do not have kids but I do stock up and I buy Jim dandy grits they used to make dog food when I was a kid take care.
Great video! You made me realize I need to write down more things, such as a pantry storage inventory and a hard copy of pantry based recipes.
Eye opener..great video
Really good video. Thank you
I bought a book “ baking with beans” and country beans both have tons of recipes and alternative bean recipes to add them into breads etc
Excellent video!!!
Thank you☀️
Really enjoy this informative video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it☀️
Love your pantry!
Thank you☀️
Love the THM I saw in there😉
Thank you for great presentation. Lots of questions but God has them in control. Keep trusting him. He'll show you what else to do. What if it's more than a year? What if it's more than two years?
I'd stretch my flour, potatobread is delicious, and a classic from the last grand solar minimum. Your vid is very helpful. PS. Just learned to make mustard (nothing left on the shelves here around where I live in France); and even production is suspended.
Oh my, no mustard in France! I think your country sold it to us in the US. We still have wonderful mustards.
@@arturoroco1540 The grain comes from Canada, but production went down 50%...
Thank you!!❤
"I love this video thanks for sharing"
It's a beautiful sight to behold.😉
Thank you☀️
