- Are you looking to stock your pantry with delicious, healthy ingredients and meals you and your family will love WITHOUT spending hundreds of dollars at the grocery store? Me too. The good news is that stocking your pantry to build food security, become less reliant on the grocery store, and learn how to get back to basics in the kitchen can be done with just a few minutes throughout the week or on the weekends. In this month's pantry chat, I'll give you doable tips and solutions to get the most out of those of us that like to stick to a weekly, modest budget and make sure that nothing in your fridge, freezer or on the shelves goes to waste. Here, you'll find a list of foods you need to buy this month to start stockpiling a prepper and food preservation pantry "the old way."

If you're looking to build a stockpile, learn to become a better home cook, reduce your waste in the kitchen, or just find ways to eat a tad healthier, pull up a chair and let's chat a bit!

You are inspiring. I am not ready for this level of dedication but I admire your energy and knowledge.
Cassandra, I just can't tell you how much joy your videos bring me! Your beautiful charm is so warm and inviting, making it feel like we're old friends hanging out, laughing together, crying together, and swapping recipes. I have learned so much (lol I'm old enough to be your mom!) and always can't wait to see the next video. You've invited us into your home and practically made us part of the family. Your parents are so lovely and your husband is a sweetheart. Ooops, almost forgot your darling little fur baby! I hope you know how much sweetness and joy you bring your viewers. Thank you so very much! Take care and God bless you and yours! xo
I just found your channel and this sums up everything I wanted to say (only way more eloquently)
We bring our own food on trips too!!!! Makes it more safe to eat, because of food allergies, and we live knowing the food is home grown and delicious!
No truer words, Marcy! Exactly!
We do as well, it just cuts down 1 more expense
Hey! Since watching your videos I have learned so much. This month, I am finally taking a step back to shop seasonally. I wasn't taught this way to shop, so this channel is helping me become a better homemaker. Thank you for the time and thought put in these videos. I appreciate you 💜.
Your mini vacation was perfect!! and so glad to see your mom again and see she is doing so well, she is such an inspiration. 😀
Hi Debbie! It truly was a peaceful trip. We really enjoyed having mom up, she's always such a help and we enjoy our time together immensely. And yes, she is doing very well! Thank you!!!
Keep an eye on your dairy! Heavy cream isn't just cream anymore! Almost all brands, including the expensive name brands, are adding carrageenan and other things. Cottage cheese too!!! Watch your ice cream too!!! They are putting additives in EVERYTHING.....
Are you serious? Will they just leave our food alone! Thank you for sharing this as I hadn't realized this was happening. I'll certainly do my research. I really appreciate this tip, friend!
I don't eat pork, but I'm hearing RUclipsrs saying there is something going on. They say they have to add oil to bacon because it's very watery and won't crisp up.
I love that you planted those fake flowers right in the ground! So pretty
It's such a clever idea that truly works when nothing else will! I'm so glad I remembered that idea!
I am a vegetarian, HOWEVER, the breaded chicken on the cabbage looks fabulous. I'm going to try it, using tofu slices instead of chicken. FYI, freezing tofu twice turns it into a very close to chicken texture & tofu absorbs the flavors of what you cook it in. This should turn out delicious! Thanks for the inspiration! 😊
Hello friend! Venturing into tofu is something that I want to try so thank you for sharing a way to modify this recipe to your preferences. the tip about freezing it twice is priceless!
Freezing twice? To Google I go.
Great tip about double freezing the tofu! I've never heard of that before.
@@shoot4themoon406 it works
Agree I’m doing it today
So glad to see your beautiful mother again.
You and Becky in the same day! What a treat!!!!
I spat my tea out at “I ain’t growing them honey, I’m showing them”. 😂 just brilliant. Watching on a Monday morning before work. Great way to start my day., thank you. Lots of Love, Kelly in England.
Great video and tips. I do resets in 4 grocery stores. I love it when they discontinue something and the store marks it down 75%. We just recently did laundry detergent, paper towels, diapers , and trainers. By the time I got off work , nothing was left. 😪
One time, we did dried beans, and I got 6 bags of pinto beans for .17 a bag.
After work , I checked out the meats and dairy department looking for Manager Specials - items and was getting ready to expire. Recently, I got 2 whole chickens for $3.50 each. I even like to get bread, which I can freeze to make my own bread crumbs for meatloaf or meatballs. I love bargains.
I even went with a cousin today to a local rummage sale - everything was 10 cents. I found shirts, shorts, capris, a basket, booking, etc. She said they have it twice a year - people donate to the local library. Earlier on the week, she bought jars for storing dried food in - a box for $10. What they do not sale then they have the 10 cent sale, which is what I went to
I am learning more on foraging - dandelions, purple nettle, chickweed, garlic mustard, sweet violets, etc. All these years, and I thought most of this stuff was just weeds (except dandelions).
I used to think my grandparents were weird when it came to watching TV in the evening. Now, Jeopardy and wheel of Fortune are the standard evening ritual in my home which indicates winding down from the day.
What a delight to see your Hubby and your Mom in this video! Thanks so much for continuing to do these early-Month pantry chats and preps. It's so helpful for fresh ideas and reminders about certain staples (in this Southern Girl's kitchen, at least!).
IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY TO TAKE CARE OF, THEY ARE VERY BLESSED...i LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Cassandra, I laughed out loud when you were talking about bringing food & cooking on vacations....my friends & family all think I'm crazy! I love cooking,so I've always cooked when we go away, I even cooked meals on our honeymoon!!! Thank you for all the great information and sharing your ideas!!❤
Great tips! My neighbor gave us bags of sweet potatoes. We spent 3 days canning Moroccan sweet potato soup out of them. We have cans for days, soooo good! We also cleaned out our freezer of meat that was starting to get close to freezer burn. Canned it all.
I can completely understand the low key, catch your breath, style of vacation. I live in N. KY and a favorite place for DH & I to go is Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill in Harrodsburg, KY. You can stay on the property in restored Shaker buildings, learn about the Shaker history and how they farmed, their music, etc. If lucky enough to be there when the Poplar trees are in bloom the sight is truly impressive. At night you could hear a pin drop. Should you ever have the chance to be in our neck of the woods, check it out.
Man, I am so glad I found your channel. Love it.👍
Aww, I’m happy you’re here too, friend!
Another great video. It was so awesome to see Mom! I see a cookbook in your future. You can throw that together in your "Spare time" 😅 (I would buy one for sure!)
Hello Deborah! Aww, thank you! It was so great to enjoy my mom (hopefully dad will be up some time in July). I would like to come out with a cookbook, eventually. I appreciate your support (and recommendation) so much!
Such a good idea to make a note of dairy dates and go back on those days!
Bringing your own food on trips is it! Savings, food satisfaction and simple prep makes for a great slow-down time away. 🤗
No truer words!
Yep! Packing a little cooler is so easy & handy!
Thank you for always giving us sensible good information and how-twos. And I love seeing your mom and dad. They seem like such sweet people. Especially your momma.
I'm so glad to see your mom and her smiling face. Sis, you knocked it out of the park with that first recipe. That looks phenomenal! It's like fried cabbage on a different level.
Trista! Always good to see you my friend! Exactly! Even with just a few tweaks, vegetables that we think only have "one way" to cook them (ie-cabbage and potatoes or sauerkraut) can really take on new flavor combinations and compliment other dishes. You won't even miss the bread or pasta with that recipe! Thanks for joining me for this month's pantry chat!
I literally prayed this morning if we should move back to Charlottesville!!!! I miss it.
Food looked great, vacation looked peaceful, and it was wonderful to see your mom!
Thank so much, LaBella! I love when my folks come to visit! It's dad's turn next!
I so enjoyed this whole video, especially the side eye of your fur baby in the car and seeing your darling momma's excitement about crab cakes! Another great video!
I shouldn’t have watched this on an empty stomach! As always everything looks amazing ❤️
I always bring our own food on trips, even road trips!!! Snacks for eating while driving and bowls for breakfast foods while gasing up, and a ready made home cooked dinner to heat and eat!!! Love these monthly chat video's!!! 💜
Because I learned how to pressure can and freeze dry, bought a second freezer, watch for sales and know my prices, I'm at the point where almost everything I buy is on sale. Ground beef was $6.99 a pound last week. Today it was $4.99 and buy one get one free that's $2.50 a pound , yeah. For mother's day I received an avid armor vacuum sealer, and I was busy preparing it for the freezer. Awesome machine. When I have some extra time I'll cook it, make chili, taco meat or, spaghetti sauce and freeze dry it for future use. I now no longer waste food and my food bill has been cut in half, plus it is convenient having options. Great getting ideas from so many people.
I love this Karen! Honey, I can’t wait to be where you are. The combination of having preserving equipment (canning, dehydrating, freeze drying) eating seasonal foods and knowing your prices means that there are still ways to eat well even on a budget! Thank you for sharing some excellent tips and encouraging others that it can be done!
Yyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaa
I was having a crappy day
Lots of pain brought on by hot rainy weather.
BUT
Then
There you were....
Bringing a huge smile to not only my face but my heart ❤️
I know
Corny but I don't care because it's my truth!
Your show's.... Yes show's
Are entertaining
But like I'm hanging with my bbf fun, you're a fabulous cook making real food... Not just a recipe, truthfully I hate recipes... LoL I have never ever followed One in my life!! Yup , gonna be 65 in August but never... I see them as ideas as a guide to get my creativity flowing. I am addicted to watching them, read magazines etc. But never exactly made one, always tweeting them.
Than you for just being you!
For not over edited videos etc.
Blessings always 🌷
You are remarkable ! I want to be you when I grow up. Oh wait, I’m 66. May be too late but I love your videos, your energy.
Carolyn, you are too funny! I'm so glad to finally be meeting other farm girls because outside of my family, no one "gets" why canning, thrifting and my garden make me so happy! There's A LOT you can do with a little! Hope you have a great week ahead!
Watched your video while I broke down all the dried herbs I had left from last fall. Replenishing my supply and making room for this year's yet to come harvest. So relaxing to watch you as always.
Im from Arkansas and remember several older ladies including my MIL growing fake flowers. It was common sight. Ty for reminding me.
Thank you for giving me the kick I needed to start building a pantry. I don't have a canner yet, but planning to get a dehydrator this year (and scored some major deals on meat to stock in the freezer!) Oh, your coffee grinder...my parents have the same one but in black. One day it will be mine and I'm so grateful they've kept it for the last 50 yrs!
Spent most of the day in the garden today. Potatoes are hilled, onions are in, beans just went in as well as some companion plants. I didn’t forget the flowers which are natures pest control as well as beautiful and most have medicinal qualities as well.
Quick trip to Walmart for some potting soil on rollback and ran into grocer clerk. She told us if we found anything that “expired” today or tomorrow, she’d mark down. Needless to say, I found ALL the beef stew meat and the markdown will not incredible definitely was worth the purchase. Beef has become so expensive and you know I’m canning that! I love me some Bourbon beef. My mom has asked for some just canned in beef broth (which I’ve already got…my own 😉) for her famous beef and noodles. All in all a good day. Produce was sky high so I made sure to order my Bountiful Basket which makes in season produce (fruits and veggies) extremely affordable especially if you know how to preserve. Highly recommend Bountiful Basket if you have it available in your area.
Happy harvesting/preserving everyone!
Honey you have been busy! Your future self will sure appreciate all the work you're putting in now. What a blessing on the beef stew meat! Each time I find a few packages of marked down meat I get so excited and squeal right in the grocery store because I know I can do exactly as you are- canning it when I get home with cuts of meat I otherwise would not be able to afford to put in my pantry. Staying in touch with what's in season in your area means that you are constantly getting the best tasting food and lowest prices. Does it take a bit of discipline. At first, yes, but there are so many ways to prepare in season foods. I'll have to check in my area to see if I have the Bountiful Baskets!
Thinking of you, sister....I pray you and your family are OK and doing well overall. ❤️🙏
Bless your sweet mama! Thank you both.
Binge watching ALL of your videos! I'm loving the hollistic and preserving ideas!! U rock!
Love you Cassandra!!! Thank you so much!! 💓 we're going on a trip to my fiancé's family reunion in Pennsylvania and I love the idea of bringing our own home canned food!! I don't trust fast food anymore. This is a perfect idea that brings your kitchen with you!!! ❤❤❤
I love your mom!
Morning Cassandra! Saw you in my Greenstalk magazine. Wonderful article and you looked beautiful. Congratulations!
Good Morning Clory! Aww, shucks, thank ya! My neighbor took my photos and we really had a fun time. Thanks so much! Without GreenStalks I wouldn't be able to grow nearly as much as I do. Happy Spring my friend!
I just found your channel and LOVE it!!!!! You have so much you cover and have such a sweet spirit!
Agree but she talks so fast I may have to play it several times and pause periodically to let my brain catch up, lol!
I found this gem of a video just at the right time. My husband just asked me to make him some cabbage. I think I’ll surprise him and go off the usual script and try your version instead! Thanks again for being spot on! Be Blessed Friend! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💜
I love seeing your parents in your videos. Your mother is precious.
This is the most helpful video about pantries/ preserving that I have seen in a long time. Thank you!
Hi Angela! I’m so happy to hear this! This video is part of a monthly playlist series here on my channel so you’ll likely enjoy the previous month info too! Thank you for saying hello!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl I am adding the playlist to my queue! Thank you!
I am really enjoying your family friendly videos. So much sensible information. I remember as a child my mom would always pack food for the trip. Your video has sparked an interest in taking that up myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh, I love your old fashioned green coffee grinder!
Your videos always inspire me. Thank you for a delightful dose of sunshine
I am laughing my "bleep" off! I hated lima beans my whole life, I was so glad when they stopped adding them to frozen mixed veggies! But, I love canned butter beans....! ? Love your channel since I found it, kinda binging today! Thank you 😀
As always, thanks for another phenomenal post. Just got through making some dandelion jelly yesterday… Tastes to me a bit like apple jelly, but talk about in season and cheap.😊 The only thing you could count as an expense was the organic cane sugar I used.
I LOVE this idea, crystal! I want to try this recipe so bad but I haven't found a spot where they grow without heavy foot/pet traffic. I love apple and honey jelly (I made an apple and sage jelly recipe last spring). Isn't it such a blessing creating tastes and flavors for your pantry that you just can't find in a store for pennies on the dollar! Love it!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl Aahhh! You need a friend who lives in the country 😉. Some day you’ll have that country homestead and then it’s no holds barred. Blessings friend…
💡 Idea: this month might be good to post in your local "online spaces" a desire to find or form a plant swap! Since many of us are dusting off our gardens, dividing, trimming etc our gardens! I just did and to my surprise found quite a bit of interest!
Hi Sher Vin! I feel like I haven't seen you in a while (or have missed your comments, sorry about that). This is totally an idea I should look into! Thanks for this recommendation!
Fab content. If you ever tour Utah’s mighty 5, you are invited for a homestead visit.
A few days ago, I ran into a truly lovely young lady in a used bookstore. We were both searching through the foods/ preserved book section. We discovered we were both huge fans of yours!!! While we stood there gushing over you, I realized just how much you (and others you have mentioned on your channel) are doing to preserve (See what I did there?) what I have been worried was a lost art. So Thank You!
Pamela! That story is nuts! You ladies sound just like the friends I'd love to have in my day-to-day life! I feel the same way about other YTers I follow online. Food preservation is one of the most practical and cost-saving ways to build a pantry, and I just love, LOVE the whole process of creating custom recipes I can sit right on my shelf. The fact that I am now able to share my quirky little self with others online who actually "get" my excitement over it all is just sheer delight! Thank you for sharing this sweet moment!
We do that in our camper as long as she's hooked to my pickup the fridge works so we put thing's in it and everything is still cold when we get to where we are going.
Your a neighbor that everyone needs. ❤
❤❤❤ahh I love all your videos but this one just made me so happy! I loved seeing you and your boys enjoying your time away and it’s always nice to see how the meals get prepared after you do the freezer prep videos. I’m hungry for that oatmeal right now 😂
I love antiques and book stores - my kinda fun❤
Hello to your sweet beautiful momma🤗
You always make me smile! And, this Grammy also learns something new too! Another video full of great ideas and inspiration! You are a blessing! 🤗🥰
Love your chats each month! I’m learning so much about what to buy and when as well as your tips on how to use them. I also love when you share videos with your mom and dad-family is so important! Thanks again for helping us all do better with our food:) Have a blessed weekend!
Always good to see you Maribeth! Thank you so much!
Girl I do the same things! I finally convinced my husband to do the same and to buy extra when it is on sale!
You're a genius!!! Coming back when it expires! Omg why didn't i think of this!
I think you have the most beautiful hands…I think it’s because they create and nurture so many wonderful things!I really love your videos and your presence. ❤️
Hello Mystic mom! Aww, thank you. Your comment puts me at ease because I thought my hands were the opposite. Honey, I've got overgrown cuticles, little nicks and grease splash burns from moving too fast in the kitchen, hang nails and all and I thought, "I should really at least go get a manicure somewhere so they look better on camera" but I can stand the thought of sitting in a nail shop when I could be enjoying my time at home. Thanks for saying this!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl ❤️
Hi Cassandra i really enjoy you channel. For me you are doing just what you intending to do, which is introduce new ideas with food and shopping thrift stores as well also many other ideas. I would love to hang out with you and just talk an trade different ideas. I realize you don't know me, but It's ok for me just to voice my thoughts and wishes... I am just starting out on my journey to becoming more self sufficient. Keep up the great work !!!!!
Your videos are so delightful to watch. 😊
Cassandra, thanks for sharing that Maryland crab cake. It looks soooo good.
Glad to see you and your family thriving. The dog is new to me - he's adorable - and I'm a cat and turtle person. (Pet-wise.)
I enjoy hearing your tips about saving on food expenses. I don't think I've had rhubarb except possibly in a single serve store-bought pie that was blander than old instant oatmeal. I appreciate the tip about buying close to the "sell by" date. Thanks for sharing.
Another amazing video. And I just love seeing your beautiful mom!! 💕
You are totally a riot! Not to mention informative.
I'm from Virginia another great trip is Graves Mountain Lodge amazing food for reasonable prices and amazing mountains to hike.
I enjoy time with family and this is refreshing
Your Mother is precious. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
You are such a joy! Thx for being you!
Those fresh herbs look so good in Upper MIchigan we still have snow on the ground in some places and most of the time we are in the 30's with rain. Thanks for sharing you garden I needed the garden fix
I wanna be you when I grow up. 😊 You are my soul sister. I love your videos and your great ideas
Haha, Hi Joyce! Honey, I'm so glad to be able to share these little pantry chats! Even with a small budget, you can still eat really good!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl I can’t wait to get started with a vertical garden. It will work great for my tiny patio. 💗💗
I LOVE what you’re doing ES ❤ You have more positive energy from those that love you than those negative ones. Keep going Sis!!! We’re watching and rooting FOR YOU🎉
We adore butter beans. ❤
My new favorite channel to watch and learn ❤✨
This post is full of such crafty and useful advice.
Thanks C.
Discovered your channel on Friday and I've been binge watching ever since!
I love this channel! It's so inspirational.
Aww...I love your mom 🥰🥰🥰
I love these pantry chats! Our apartment pantry is overflowing with yummy foods, and my family is well fed which is a job in itself with a husband and two boys!
Always love the things you out out in the universe. Love your fam :)
You are equal parts informative and entertaining. I just love watching your videos.
Hi Jennifer! Aww, thank ya so much! Sometimes I kinda think "man, this video is all over the place" but I'm glad you're able to shift through my ramblings and find some good take aways! Hope your spring is off to a great start!
You make me smile every time I watch you. ❤
I love your ideas.
awe, I love your Momma! I was so happy to see her again! Made my day❤
I am So Glad I found your channel. Great recipes and advice!
Love the chat ❤ much appreciated and refreshing
Great video as always! You never disappoint. Happy spring!
Good Morning friend! Aww, thank ya friend! The spring kitchen is a beautiful, busy and tasty place! So good to hear from you!
Loved this. You inspire so many thoughts. Thank you!
Love watching and listening, thank you😊
Love the recipes! I really enjoy your videos. Information, recipes, adventures & family time! What a great bundle!
Love your meals you make ❤😊
This little trip looks simply delightful. We also love to cook on vacation to save money but also I enjoy it more on vacation when I am not rushed and can really just enjoy the process. So glad you got to get away together and relax :)
I wish I could figure out how to add a photo to this comment because I was shocked beyond belief when I saw the price of cauliflower at our grocery store a couple days ago…I live in Michigan but it’s a cold weather crop…it was $11.99 for organic ( just one head!) and $8.99 for conventional grown cauliflower! Who would pay that? You can bet I’ll be growing cauliflower in my garden.
I love this! SO much goodness
The timing on these recipes is perfect! We started getting a CSA box this week, and I need aaallll the ideas. Especially for stuff like rhubarb that I’ve never cooked with in my life. As always, thanks for all of the tips, and your trip looked delightful.
Becky!!! Always good to see ya honey! CSA's are def. the way to go. I hadn't tried rhubarb until 2 years ago. Like I shared, its tart so to use it, you'll want to find a recipe that pairs it with sweet and/or heat. A rhubarb oatmeal crisp topped with icecream or a cobbler are other ways I've used it fresh when I didn't have enough to can. That trip was perfect. Super low key and simple but with our crazy work schedules and weekends that are ramping up with family, chores and life events, having a few days away just to exhale was a good reminder to "slow down" when you can. Hope your spring is off to a good start!
Strawberry rhubarb jam, pie filling. Make little tarts with pie crust in the air fryer.
Great meal ideas …Thank you 😊
This looks fantastic!
New subscriber. Love your channel. I like the much needed information you provide, and the fact that you quickly get right into the subject of your videos. I have already learned so much from you. Thank you so much.
I just love your channel. Your fun warm personality is just so welcoming and spritzy all at the same time 😊
I owe this comment to your algorithm. Keep the top quality vids coming 🌻🌻🌻
