Original Recipe: 8-12 bacon pieces chopped 1 lb Italian sausage mild or spicy, according to your preference 1 large onion diced 6 cloves garlic minced 6 cups chicken broth 2 cups water 5-6 medium yukon gold potatoes diced 3 cups kale chopped 1 cup heavy cream Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 tsp Italian seasonings 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated (optional, for serving) I changed a few thing’s for what I had in my pantry. I submitted kale for Swiss chard. I used dry milk powder made up and a little potato flakes to thicken it. I used ham broth instead of chicken. I showed the whole making of it in my pantry challenge week#3 video that I posted just before this one. Hope you try it. God Bless 🙏🏽

You know just you mentioning a sandwich maker. We have a little countertop grill I use to make all kinds of thing on. I have to pull it out to see if it still works.

Always sneak the veggies in where you can. 🤫 Your high of -4 is our low tonight. I don’t think I have ever been in double negative degrees before. Good thing you are warm and cozy. Stay Safe 🙏🏽

Good Afternoon My Dear Friend 🌞 You are so right about extra work meal planning. It just never really something I cared to do but the one time. It was for the very first pantry challenge I did year’s ago.

@@littlegreenpatch98 I think they serve people newer at cooking and prepping well but when you have been doing it for years you just know!

Great idea about the sachet’s. I have material, peppermint essential oil and bay leaves. What would you use as a filler? Rice, dry corn or something else. I don’t want to attract them with the food smells.

@ Dry beans would work. Little bean bags with essential oils on them. 😊

So right. Not even just food. Everything, everything in general has jumped so high in the last two year’s. Everything except paychecks. I don’t know how everyone is making it. 🙏🏽

They were delicious. I just wish I had some fresh tomatoes 🍅 to put in mine. Can’t wait for the garden to come back. 🙂

Good Evening My Dear Friend 🌞 I use iMovie. I can use it on my iPhone or laptop. Super easy to use. It’s an Apple product though. Tik Tok maybe back. So you may be able to use CapCut. That overnight oat’s sounds delicious. I may have to try it. I am playing around trying to make my own Greek yogurt. I want to try it using shelf stall milk. I found a recipe on New England Cheesemaking website. 🤞🏽 Stay warm. God Bless 🙏🏽

@@littlegreenpatch98 I checked out a few and I am really hoping tomorrow it will be back lol! Trump is suppose to take care of all that tomorrow! lol

Thank you. I am glad we did it because we needed that major rotation of our food. I was a little uneasy about going 2 year’s but it worked in the end. 🙏🏽

😊 Chewbacca (Chewy) thanks you. 🐾

@@littlegreenpatch98 <3

@janeprepper177 One step at a time. You will get to where you want to be. This took me year’s to get to this point. Started with one shelf in the master bedroom closet. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping!🙂 God Bless 🙏🏽

🙂 Mylar bags do come in handy for storing foods for longterm. I like the gallon size instead of the 5 gallon ones. My thinking is when I go to open them; I don’t want the rest of it to go bad before we can eat it. Me family can go through a gallon size of oat’s, rice, flour etc before it can go off. Amazon is where I get most of my mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. God Bless🙏🏽

😂😂🤣 I don’t know how people are making it either. These price’s are out of this world high from two year’s ago. If store’s are gone by by when I have to restock again. I already told the family we will be eating only what we can grow. I asked everybody in the house what their favorite veg & fruit was. Most of them said thing’s I can and do grow. Youngest said Mangoes & Watermelon. She can get one out of two. Not bad. I try to stock up only on sale’s as well but I was so low on canned good’s I just had to do it. My in-law’s gave me a $500 Aldi gift card for Christmas. Said $100 per person in my family was her Christmas gift to hubby & me. It came in handy. I just finished restocking the basement cold room today. There are still a few hole but all the canned good’s are full. Now time to wait on sale’s. Meat stockup is next. 🙂

@@littlegreenpatch98 What a beautiful blessing from your In-Laws! I know the food costs are out of control. The meat stock up is going to hurt. My friends @Thehomesteadinghills just did a video on what they did they may interest you!

Hello Dear Friend 🌞 I have to limit myself with them. Even though they are sugar free the replacement for sugar is not the best. Something is going to take us over the rainbow in the end. I may as well enjoy the ride. 😉😂

@@littlegreenpatch98 That is very true.

😂 The way my family eats probably. I think if we ever had to ration our foods my family would be ok. We eat less of the expensive things like meal on a regular basis. They just don’t know it. 🤫

I don’t. I am a from scratch, through it “together” cook. If we had chicken last night, I cook beef the following night. I have cook books but never use them. We eat simple whole foods. I don’t need 15-20 ingredients to make a dish. I meal planned for a month four year’s ago. Never did it again and didn’t even stick to that of the whole month. I know how much to buy to fill up the space I have and now I have a better idea of how long it will last us but the family is still growing. So I have to keep that in mind. I can go to any of my pantries pull out a protein, scratch and veg an make a meal. No recipe needed. Scratch cooking doesn’t have to be complicated or by the cook book. The best meals we have had have been off the cuff.

@@littlegreenpatch98 how do you know what to buy and how much to buy for the year?

Wow! 😧 I use Walmart spice’s all the time. If it is a savory dish it has garlic and onion powder in it. Walmart brand. I am getting to the point of what can we safely eat from the store’s in this country. I am glad you are ok and found out what it was. God Bless 🙏🏽

@@littlegreenpatch98 I now order organic Watkins from Amazon.

Thank you. I had no idea. Everyone in the family drinks them from time to time. I drink one a day most times.

Thank you. I don’t feel like I am way ahead of the game. There is so much more I wish I could do. I just pray it is enough. 🙏🏽 Stay Safe & Keep Prepping!🙂

Thank You ☺️ I was going for upscale chic minimalist. 🙃

I use the 5 gallon & 6 gallon mostly as you can see. I only have 3 of the 3 gallon. Filled with spice’s and chocolate chips. Haven’t tried the juice container’s. The 5 gallon buckets with gamma lid’s is what I use to refill my working kitchen pantry staple’s (sugar, flour, pasta, rice etc.). 🤞🏽 Never had a problem but we also go through it often. I have so much to restock up on but working on that now. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping!🙂

HelloMy Dear Friend, 🌞 Hope you are keeping warm up there. We are in the single digits and tomorrow night is a low of -1. 🥶 It is soup weather for sure. God Bless 🙏🏽

Hello Friend, I idea of the PVC pipe is brilliant. Thank you . I would have never thought to do that. Those swirled bottle are just the Target brand of water. I like handle and bottle plastic better than other brand’s. My stockpile is always a work in process. Most of my flour is empty now. I am considering starting to us my wheat berries instead of buying flour. It’s a learning curve that I am trying to master. 🤞🏽 Canning gets easier with practice. Start slow and cheap. So with beans for pressure canning or tomatoes for water bath canning. Don’t jump immediately to meat’s or meal’s. You “Can” do it. 😊 God Bless🙏🏽

Thank You. It took me year’s to get to this point. My mother and grandmother always told us to put something back for a rainy. I was a “prepper” before it was called that. It was just a way of life. I take inventory on paper once a year. I was taking visual inventory every week to fill hole’s before this 2 year journey.

Hello Friend, I feel that sense of community. It’s great to see what other’s have cooked up and get new idea’s for meals. I mainly went two year’s because I was finding we were eating our favorites but not other thing’s in the pantries. We like them but stuck to the favorites and because I was to the point where I was just filling hole’s; other less liked food was going unused. So we had to do some major rotation. This forced us to eat our second, third, fourth etc best liked item’s. So we could get through what I had stored up. Pantry challenges are easy for me because it’s how I cook on a norm. I rarely ever go out to buy something to come home an eat it right away or within a day or two. Unless it is fresh fruit and veggie’s. Which we have cut back on because of the garden’s. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping! 🙂🙏🏽

The pantry challenge is my everyday cooking. Nothing has changed other than I am trying to film it. We have been doing a no grocery stockup for awhile now to rotate through the stockpile. So even though I am doing the pantry challenge I am definitely stocking up. My next video will show my pantry now after two year’s of no grocery store. 😬 I had to go against so much within me to fill the hole’s in the pantry but we got some project’s knocked out and saved more for a rainy day. I will definitely be restocking very soon. I feel an urgency to stock as much as I can and as quickly as I can. So I am still doing the challenge but restocking for a later time. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping!🙂 God Bless 🙏🏽

@@littlegreenpatch98 I am feeling that urgency as well! I hope my gut feeling is wrong but will be glad to have extra either way! God bless you too Friend!

Hello My Dear Friend 🌞 I have never heard of Zuppa before. Just looked it up. It looks delicious. I will have to try it. It is so cold down here but no snow. I guess that is a plus. 🙏🏽

@@littlegreenpatch98 I was able to pick up some Kale on sale at the market so I made some Zuppa! It tasted lovely! We also gave some of the kale to the chickens and they enjoyed it as well!

Thank you. I have them from time to time. 😊 It is all Gods doing. 🙏🏽

@ yes, it is!

I can’t wait. It is literally “the good book” I don’t want to put down. 🙏🏽

Over the year’s I have read most of it but this is the year to read all of it. You are most welcome my dear friend. God Bless 🙏🏽

Hello 🌞 Happy New Year My Dear Friend, I will have to check her out. Thank you for the info. 🙏🏽

Hello My Friend, I love the idea of the freeze dried food’s. I am trying to build that up as sale’s and budget allow. I have been washing camp pots in a plastic dishpan from Dollar Tree that I got like 9 or 10 year’s ago. I think it’s time for an upgrade. It was on sale Black Friday. I tried the safety pins. Works like a charm. Happy Holidays! 🎄☃️ God Bless🙏🏽

@ultramagapatriot5874 Thank you. I had no idea. I have both cinnamon and honey. I will try them as well. Less to buy and saves money. 👍🏽

Hello from Michigan. I hope you had a great Christmas. Happy New Year 🎉

Thank you. I will keep adding to it when I can.

I am trying. This morning it was 14 degrees. 🥶 I am sure it is cold in the U P as well.

@@littlegreenpatch98 We have been having negative temps until today! We almost got to 30 today lol!

That is funny. What we don’t know we don’t know. It becomes our normal.

Happy Holidays My Friend. I can’t believe Christmas is next week. 😲 At least I have all my gift’s covered. 👍🏽

@@littlegreenpatch98 Just 5 more days!

I have tried a few other thing’s like the long sticky fly paper one. That worked ok but I keep coming back to the old faithful. 🙏🏽

@@littlegreenpatch98 LOL I am not allowed to put up those long sticky fly paper thingies! Hubbies eyesight isn't the best and he walked into one and it got stuck in his hair oops 🤭🤣😇😏

For some reason the reply to comments don’t show. I only saw this one because I was cleaning out my email’s. Which I only get to every once in awhile. 🙂 My hubby and I have fallen prey to the long fly trap as well. He is tall so he misjudged the length. ☺️ I got up on a step stool knowing fill well it was there and still got it stuck to my head covering. No fun. 😂

@@littlegreenpatch98 Yes they are very sticky !

Good Morning 🌞

Good Morning 🌞

It was 50 degrees for a high yesterday in December. 🤯 Some Fall day’s didn’t even get to that. Michigan for you. I shouldn’t complain because the colder weather is still to come I am sure.

@@littlegreenpatch98 We got another 3 inches last night over the stuff that melted yesterday from the warm weather it was 38 here so school got canceled today.

Thank You. We lived on Long Island when Super Storm Sandy hit. Gas station line’s were hour’s long. We got minimal damage on our block but couldn’t do anything because power was out at so many businesses. If we had one of these then instead of just our gas generator which we couldn’t get gas for. We would have been set. Stay Safe and Keep Prepping! 🙏🏽

@@littlegreenpatch98 I purchased a 100 watt solar panel for my Bluetti Solar Generator last night and it uses MC4 cables.....if I recall correctly. You're welcome and oh yeah, I am still prepping, smaller items now and hopefully if we get a nasty winter storm here in the Midwest US and lose power for a few days or longer, I will be better prepared. The one beauty of losing power in the winter, I have large coolers I can safely keep my food normally in a fridge/freezer I can easily lock up outside in my storage unit with my home. You stay safe too, thank you and new subscriber here. 🙂
