    In this video I'm resetting my prepper pantry, my working pantry, and cleaning my fridge. It's all a part of the same...getting to the rebuilding of my prepper pantry after using it for the past few months. This included taking an inventory so I would know what gaps there are in my prepper pantry and what I need to purchase to fill it in. When you are done here, check out this video where I show you how I built this three month prepper pantry. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/AIzLl9vc9vs/видео.html.

In this day and age with social media taking our attention, whether intentional or not, we can compare. But we do have it so lucky. Hot water, plumbing,food access etc. So so lucky with what we have at this moment! Ok back to the video now but thank you for another really great video 😊❤

    We don't have very much counter space here so we just empty one shelf at a time, clean it, and put the items back on it before doing the next one. I'm a minimalist but my roommates are hoarders. They don't purge anything and keep adding more and more items. One person's collections are all over the house. Like huge toys blocking part the pantry and a hallway wall of DVDs. Hopefully I get another job soon so I can move out. I read faster than a person can speak it s I prefer listening to my RUclips subscriptions or my favorite songs. Most aren't played on the radio. It is hard to prep for Lee and Daniel. They get bored of foods. If I like a food, I like it all the time. My dream house is a metal house kit that has a canning pantry and walk-in closets in three of the rooms. I primarily wear long dresses and long skirts in mostly natural fibers since I'm allergic to polyester, nylon, and rayon. My skin rashes if I wear them for long periods of time. Hanging them reduces the wrinkling especially the 100% cotton dresses and anything linen.

    I do think there is a level of blindness for men when they try to find things in the kitchen, at least in my home. I like the way you store things in containers like the labeled baskets. You can also store your seasonings and oils, and other small items in containers. That way you can pull out the entire container to find something. I recently bought some plastic boxes from Walmart to store my seasonings, and other supplies so I don't need to rummage in the deeper cabinets. I also use a sharpie to mark the best by date on all my packaged foods. It's easier to find what needs to be used up soon. It looks like you have a good organized supply.

I have it organized with little baskets as well so I can just pull things out. Baskets do help in a big way. I'll look into how I can use the little baskets more so on my extended pantry.

    Hi Denise. Thank you for this video. I have a pantry half the size of yours and I have to be inventive to make it work. Luckily, I have a basement to store extras. We rotate regularly, so there can be a lot of running up and down the stairs. Good exercise. By the way - I love the way your hair turned out!

    • @homemakingwithdenise
      @homemakingwithdenise  5 месяцев назад

      Hahaha! I was Curly Sue after the appointment. The curls gradually drop and I got good hair to work with until the next Thursday (I go every week). The basement storage is great but try this to keep from running up and down stairs. Do an inventory in the extended pantry (basement). Plan your meals for the week. First…shop the working pantry for what you need. Next, take a basket to the basement and shop the extended or prepper pantry. Collect those things and take them up. Hopefully you are then only making that down and up cycle once a week for groceries. Let me know how that works.

    My condiment shelf is always an adventure. LOL! I need to wipe down my fridge shelves. I noticed a few spills, despite my attempts to be neat. That’s at least a monthly task. We had a dietary reset last year that resulted in A LOT of changes. Our current pantry is a lot smaller than it used to be and I’m ok with that. Less to keep up with - dietary and inventory wise. I’m currently working through the freezer and some of the older pantry items. Once we get all that dwindled down and my husband is back on a normal eating program, we’ll rework it again. It’s always in flux.

Our family room is now basically storage, the extra freezer and toiletry/ cleaning pantry is in there as well. One side is his office space and winter clothing storage.

      @homemakingwithdenise  5 месяцев назад

      Hi Queenie, I have a few things in the garage but not much. It gets pretty cold here and the garage sometimes gets really cold or really hot depending upon the season so I don't use it for food storage. Those two shelves he bought do work quite well for in the dining room. We rarely use the formal dining room anymore so it works out for us. I will admit the kids do tease us about the "mini store" in the dining room.

    Hi Denise. The extended pantry in your dining room….how is that working out? Does it bother you that others see what you have? Do others touch it and move things around? Do you try to hide the shelves from prying eyes? I ask because the dining room appears to be the only place I can have my pantry, and I was hesitant to do it. Plenty of room, but not sure of letting it be seen.

      Hang a pretty thrift store curtain or material in front of or around the shelves. If you can put it on an alcove, you can use a pressure pole to hang the curtain, so no holes are needed. Or if the shelf supports sticks up above the top shelf, just run curtaining wire between them on 3 sides to hold the curtain.

      Gracie…I struggled with the same thing. Our dining room is our only unused space. No one goes in there. My husband rarely goes in there unless he’s looking for something on the prep shelves. My kids or grandkids will go in there and tease me about the mini-mart but no one bothers anything. I do have a drape to put over it so nothing is seen from the windows. It’s what’s working for us. Give it a try with one shelf and see how it works for you. Then you have info to work with.

      @@homemakingwithdenise Thank you Denise. Our dining room is connected to the kitchen and is seen by all, and used daily. But it has a lot of usable space. I am going to try using a curtain or maybe a room divider to “hide” the shelving. Thank you for showing us that you use your room like this and that it’s ok to repurpose an area or room. Much appreciated.

    Is the Grabill country ground cooked beef worth the price, I've seen it at kroger. I am tempted to buy it, not sure of the taste.

      Actually, all the Grabill Country meat is delicious. It cooks up beautifully. Now keep in mind canned meat won’t have quite the same texture as meat you cook that’s fresh and then cooked but it is good. Buy one canned of the ground beef. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

    Keeping all that food in your dining room where everyone knows what you have? Do you not have a basement or closet? You certainly looked prepared. I am new here. I am assuming you live in an apartment with not much storage. I will check some of your other videos. Thanks

      I live in a two story house and the dining room is the only unused room so that’s where I keep it. No one but us hardly goes in there. No basement. Garage won’t work because we have weather extremes and then my husband has the garage door open in spring and summer while he’s out there working. This is the best spot for us. I do have a drape I put over it so you can’t see it from the windows.
