🍯What We Preserved in 2021: www.calicoandtwine.com/blog/putting-food-by-what-we-preserved-this-year 🍎Pantry Preparedness: www.calicoandtwine.com/blog/preparing-the-pantry 🥕The Art of Pantrying: www.calicoandtwine.com/blog/the-art-of-pantrying
Just want you to know...your vlogs are works of art in EVERY episode! I was raised in large family. We grew big gardens, to help with food bills! My grandma, who had been one of 13 children, was an "expert" on gardening and canning. We had many wonderful talks while weeding, picking or planning garden. I loved those peaceful and productive moments. As oldest girl, I lined up with Momma and grandma in our kitchen every day, throughout all seasons...preparing meals, freezing and canning, baking, chopping, peeling, labelling, prepping. When I married, my hubby and I moved to country home with nice land acreage. We made a big, quarter acre garden. Worked at canning, freezing, drying. Hunted and fished, bought other needs from farmers and local butcher. Did it for 30 years, sharing garden bounties, as well as our venison, fish, wild turkey...sport successes! Upon my hubby's death, I had to move to suburbia, due to health reasons. I put two raised garden beds in my tiny backyard. I slowly stocked my pantry, adding farmers market items, freezing...and preparing for winter months to come. Then...covid rumors started. My four young Marine veteran relatives came to me, wanting to make sure I could "get started on prepping" for any kind of disasters coming. Imagine their surprised looks when I shyly showed them...my FOUR filled storage areas of canned, bottled and food safety buckets of essential ingredients...plus two freezers...and filled walk-in pantry closet in kitchen. All labelled and organized. Enough food for ALL our families. I told them I did it so if times got mean or lean, my home would be big enough to shelter all, and we wouldnt go hungry! I also prepped with candles, kerosene, heaters, propane grill, weapons and ammo, bedding and warm blankets, extra air mattresses, soaps, tp, matches, lighters, tools, security devices. One said, jokingly,"I think you could teach a prepper class at Paris Island!" lol! As a newlywed, our nearest store in country was an hour away on windy, winding roads, then another hour trip back. So, I learned young, to start making my "own store" in our basement, by watching ads, buying on sale, sometimes whole case, other times, few "on sale" extra cans or jars. Garden helped most, then just filled in what was necessary or desired. Yep...love your vlogs, you are teaching lost skills to younger generations, as well as helping older adults prep too! Love your decorating...and your aprons! Best of all though, I find myself smiling softly, content, because of your Faith and good heart...your inner beauty of heart and soul...shines like a welcoming, beckoning candle in the window of a stormy night. Thank you for these beautiful vlogs!
I love it when I come educational information that intentionally teaches a lost or dying art. I hate to actually have to say that with my mouth about things such as cooking, canning vegetables, raising a garden, hunting or fishing for the purpose of eating and not just for sport There's so many things in this day and age that are not passed down to this generation. Unfortunately this generation are Masters at looking good and taking pride in their physical body but they are lacking so many essential skills and abilities. I'm afraid that if they don't have the modern conveniences of everyday life, many of them would surely and quickly perish from this Earth
Gosh, what a lovely comment - more than a comment, it’s like a story through a couple of generations. You maybe don’t realise, but you, Mary, have wonderful tales to tell and an amazing education to pass on. Wish you were my neighbour!
"Pantrying" is exactly what this is. I love when you said that the act makes the pantry a verb. I guess my family has been doing this forever since we cooked many of our meals at home growing up. We always bought many things in bulk for economical reasons, and had a stock of things as we bake quite a bit. I am really intentional about this now because of minimizing food waste, and I think that using up old scraps is a great way to be more creative and break from usual recipes. Sometimes I will search for recipes that include ingredients I already have instead of having to go buy things to cook something. In this way, there is less waste and I can be a little more creative in what I get to eat.
This is going to one of my focuses for January. I have two cabinets that need to be completely cleaned and reorganized. I’ve been gradually shifting from plastic containers to glass for example Mason Jars for both pantry and fridge.
@@ellen823ful This is a great way to repurpose storage. My mom always said "why throw out the jar, I've already paid for it!" lol It was second nature to wash and reuse for us growing up. They definitely come in handy when you have a bunch that match too.
I really love and appreciate that you showed the less the cute section of your storage (the store bought stuff). You made living beautifully feel attainable. Genuinely, thank you for that.
9:40 I think this is why "pantrying" is slowly being replaced by grocery stores full of heavily processed connivence foods. The reason is time. Nobody has enough of it in this modern 'go go' world. Thanks for this video. It's inspiring; slow and gentle.
We've had tv dinners since the fifties. These things were conveniences for us housewives. Lesson learned: do not shirk duties and don't think it's saving time. Nothing is free, there's always a price to pay. They wouldn't sell it if we didn't want it. I could spend two hrs a day cooking, besides homeschool and every other things I have to do. But I know the cost of not making the time...my children's health and even their very lives.
When the first supermarket entered the scene, 1946, the world was at war. Many women either worked in factories to help the efforts of defense or to make ends meet. Later Men were either coming home injured or not at all so the trend continued. Then it became more acceptable for women to have careers outside of home. This took away from the attention and time required to do things old school such as described in this video. There seems to be a returning to more traditional ways nearly 100 years later. Perhaps we will turn things around, victory gardens and all.
When I transitioned part of my income stream into care, I was surprised how many elders continue to have root cellars & real pantries. I'm glad & encourage it.
The reason why I told my partner, that I want our apartment, is the lovely little pantry we have in the kitchen. I literally fell in love with it and we mainly keep powdery products like flour, noodles, rice, cornflakes, tea and Chinese seasoning and pickled vegetables. It gives me so much joy to know that I have what I need when I bake or cook, without panicking that I have to go to the grocery store last minute. My pantry makes me very happy!
Your message should go viral. People need this now more than ever......even if they don't understand it. I grew up this way. This is my heritage. It is edifying to our lives. :)
I like that your family doesn't totally rely on one avenue of obtaining the food you need to feed yourselves. And having a 'Working Pantry' is key to ensuring food doesn't SPOIL because it's just sitting there. I'm sure you guys store paper items and medical items as well. _"Way to be prepared for anything!"_
After moving from a big city to a cottage in the middle of nowhere, 6 yrs ago, “pantrying” is something I am now an expert in, taught myself to grow, forage, and preserve, very rarely need to go to grocery store. Something I think we all need to learn
I have been in love with growing food since I was young and helping my grandmother. It’s only bees in the last five years or so that I have been learning to preserve, buy in bulk only what I can’t grow (grains, beans) and learning how to store it. It’s now a passion. Thank you for sharing yours with us.
You’re absolutely correct in the term you used Caitlyn, “The Art of Pantrying” …it definitely is an art to do it successfully. Well done and thank you ☺️💛👏🏻
Thank you for sharing your gift of pantrying with us all. It's a lovely word that sounds very victorian in its pronunciation. Would you consider a home tour of your charming house? It would be such a delight to see? Thanks again for another wonderful and warm walk back to the past and storage lesson with this video.
Just found your channel and subscribed. I am so happy to find you, the kitchen the pantry is my world. You just gave me so much inspiration, will be watching all your videos. What a blessing
''Even just a few spices or ethnic condiments that you can keep in your pantry can turn your mundane dishes into a culinary masterpiece.''- Marcus Samuelsson🍄 Great one, dear. It's so lovely to see neat and well-arranged storage places cuz it's pretty rare sometimes. Looking forward to rearranging our pantry cuz I found some inspiring tips.❤ ''Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.'' - Deuteronomy 28:6✨
Kaetlyn, you should do a video on canning how to! I bet there are many people, like myself, who grow a garden each year and end up giving away or throwing out a lot of what has been grown because it cannot be eaten in time/it goes bad. I have no clue about canning and everywhere online seems to have different/conflicting information. Also I wonder, how cool is your basement for storing the jars? What would be an idea temperature? Beautiful video as always 🤍
I will certainly consider that for this years growing season! I would recommend starting with Ball Canning or Melissa K. Norris- two reputable sources for canning and they only share safe recipes and methods. Our basement is probably on average 50-60F maybe a bit higher? It fluctuates. But it's definitely cooler than the rest of our house which we keep 68F during the day and 65F at night. I should put a thermometer down there and see for sure! Canned goods are ideal at 50-70 degrees and kept in the dark. Thank you Amanda! ❤
This was comforting. Loved seeing someone else do as I have done. 30 years ago we raised everything we ate. I am physically no longer able to do those things, but I still can and keep a good pantry.thank you for sharing!
I'm not sure if Mr. Salatin is making a distinction between "Supermarket" and "Grocery stores" but the first grocery store to open in the US was a Piggly Wiggly in Tennessee in September 1916 during the Great War. You'll be hard pressed to find an old Southerner like me who didn't grow up at least hearing that stores name. It is synonymous with the South. A great many pounds of dry beans, cornmeal and coffee would have been bought back in the day to use for "pantrying" as you call it. A very impressive lifestyle you lead! It's remarkable to see a young person use the old ways as you do. And you present it so well. A lot of young and old folks could be benefit greatly from your wisdom and ways. Hope you get a million subscribers. You deserve it. Blessings!
Interesting! I'll have to go back and read that part of his book. My take was he was referencing larger chain stores that have grown into almost a monopoly of the food industry. I think I should have made the point clearer in my video that I'm not advocating for "doing it all" or avoiding shopping all together, but rather sourcing thoughtfully and from smaller, local stores and farms when possible. Thank you so much for your kind words!! ❤
I love this video. My family has always had a large pantry. I’ve been so thankful this winter that I’ve rarely had to go to the grocery store and eating garden vegetables in delicious soups and other dishes when there is 6 inches of snow is sooooo grounding and satisfying.
Katelyn..I have loved..adored ALL your videos but I truly believe this is my absolute favourite. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I get giddy when I see that you have added a new video. I make a cup of tea and sit and be prepared to be blessed.
Very enlightening. Thank you. I was taught to put bay leaves in the tops of my flour, cormeal, and rice canisters. Also to leave the soil on fresh potatoes , peanuts, etc until use. I was told this kept them fresh.
I survived Katrina/Rita I was REALLY clobbered... I thought I could prepare for another..but IDA REALLY terrified me ...I came VERY close to no non perishable food for me..I Did prep for my pet... but I am going to start preparing again .I DO grow all year long in my container garden..but this reminded me to do better❤️
Love this! I grew up on a mountain, so we had to stock up on food and consumables because we only went into town once a week. I now live in the middle of the city for most of the year, but stocking my pantry is still ingrained in me.
I’m new to your channel and I’m so excited to learn how to prepare a full pantry without waste. What you are sharing is almost a lost art and I would like to learn more even though there are a few grocery stores close to my house. I wish I have a cool basement to store food. Blessings!
Your monologue sounds like poetry: "If you think about it, we are only 100 years removed from knowing how to sustain ourselves through the work of our hands. This was the way from the beginning, and the modern world is, at best, an experiment." Brilliant and wise. And beautiful.
I was born in 1957 and both sets of grandparents still lived that way...growing/producing their own foods and preserving them until they could grow new foods I'm the spring. I remember taking my turn at the butterchurn...exhausting but necessary work. I also remember my grandfather chopping the heads off chickens for dinner, and sitting with my grandmother away from the house plucking the chickens. One of my early memories is walking with my uncle down to the barn and the flashlight highlighting a pig that was hanging from a tree draining its blood into a tub below. I've always been aware that meats do not come prepackaged like they do from the grocery store.
I highly recommend, especially if you have deep freezers, a vaccum sealer. I love ours! We were able to reduce down many pounds of meat to flat packages. :)
I absolutely loved this video. So inviting, calming, educational, and beautifully put together. I could listen to you all day, hands down best video for relaxing and learning at the same time. The cozy warm colors also add so much to your presentation. Great job!! I’m so glad your video came up in my recommendations.
I like that you call it an art. Growing up then, I can say that my mom was a great artist in pantrying. There was no internet, and you couldn’t just order your food online. I came from a middle class home, so we could always buy groceries. The way it worked then was that once every week or twice a week, she would always buy enough groceries not just for that week or two, but to fill the entire home with food consistently. We had food in our pantry, food in a food closet, food in the fridge, and food in the cupboard, food and fresh fruit in the kitchen on the counter and on the table. Of course we would eat out, but there was always food in the house, for us, for guests, for friends, and for the odd time for neighbours.
I really enjoyed the peaceful loveliness and artistry of your video. My new house will have a dedicated pantry as I would like to devote much of my time to pantrying. Will definitely adopt your word :)
I'm not really sure why I clicked on your video... but I'm glad I did. What a thoughtful presentation. I already do a lot of what you showed here, I too believe in being a good steward of our resources. Those waffles looked amazing.
I loved this I started thee art of pantrying last year. I also do a lot of dehydrating; tomatoes, peppers, onions, and my favorite green power powder. ❤️
This is so lovely. I really appreciate the care, effort, and artistic touch you put into your life and your videos. I think I long for a more peaceful and intentional life every time I watch your channel
I loved this! Building a pantry is indeed an art! 💕 It is really helpful to see what can be stored and preserved for winter. And all these colours make the kitchen prettier and cozier! ☺️
Great video, food for the soul. a beautiful way to view the sacred art of nurturing the body of ourselves and loved ones, as well as reducing waste and care for our planet.
So true every one pantry is different me specifically I have plenty of organic and item we use the most in my home in the summer we grow herbs to have in the winter. I love the tips you offer with the buttermilk leftover also the standup freezer I love work well and we could see clearly what we have to use up to date. God bless
I pray all that is good and prosperous from the Lord to you and your family in this New Year. Keep shining the light of Christ to others in all things you do. It does make a difference in people's lives who desperately need the Savior. Continue being an inspiration Kaetlyn, as all who see you knows your work is all for the Lord.
I feel blessed to have found your video and channel tonight. Your message of preservation and food waste is so important. I liked that you even had a pile of books in the beginning that I can't wait to find and read as well. 📚
I too have noticed that it's something that constantly needs "fluffed". Just this week, I reorganized one of my home canned storage areas and my cook books. It feels like a chore before I start but it turns into a pleasure as I realize how busy I've been canning and preserving nutricous foods for my family to enjoy. It's also very satisfying to know that I am 1 cog in a the wheel that is activly reducing the amount of waste I send to the land fill by growing and preserving some of our food on our land. It gives me a sneek peak at Psalms 37:29, which is deeply satisfying. I think it's so satisfying to me is I feel like Proverbs 31:15 when I participate in this kind of household activity, it feels like the role I was designed to do.
I love the term, "the art of pantrying"! You're onto something, and it's the perfect title for your book. You are going to put together a book, aren't you? You have the groundwork or outline for it in all of your past videos and blogs, including pictures, recipes, gardening, putting up produce .... You don't have to do a book, but I would buy it if you did. Thank you, I enjoyed this, and learned a little something as well... now I think I have some cranberries in the fridge that I can do something with. LOL.
Thank you for this video, I have become very interested stocking up. This past year was probably the most I’ve ever stored but still not nearly enough. I tried to store apples in my basement which stays fairly cool but unfortunately the critters found them so I made apple sauce. The music is beautiful and the filming is lovely.! Thank you for your Christmas post, it came at a time where I was having some problems that potentially could’ve cost a lot of money. You reminded me that I am in the care of a loving and powerful God who works all things for my good and everything turned out well!
I Loved your presentation. It takes me back to what I grew up with. Before I got so busy with work and didn't have time to live the right way. I'm so glad I found this site. It didn't take many minutes before I became one of your subscribers. Thanks again for sharing such great ideas.
I started 'pantrying' and sourcing meats/veggies from local farms in late '19. Of course, there r many great reasons to pursue pantrying, however, my main objective was to re-connect w/ how I was raised. BTW....luv ur 'pantrying' term!
This does make me inspired to start being more involved with my family’s vegetable garden. It’s not big, weve got 2 vegetable patches but they seem to grow a fair amount. Currently we have some winter vegetables growing. I’d like to be more involved with the process and it’s great to know where your food comes from. Great video! :)
Hint for you.... Get yourself some organic sugar and organic molasses and make your own brown sugar. You will be BEYOND happy you did. You get 10xs as much for an 1/8th of the price. Plus you can make light or dark just by adjusting the amount of molasses you add. And it doesn't get hard like store bought. One way I help myself save money and always have a stock of it in the pantry. Please continue your wonderful videos. The way you talk about things is so calming and inspirational. Ty
"This is what should have been from the very beginning.......stewardship not [for] survival." Gold! (A blessed new year, Kaetlyn! Many happy returns! ^_^)

My heart felt every one of your peacefully spoken words. I needed to her and feel this today. Many thanks

I'm afraid that if they don't have the modern conveniences of everyday life, many of them would surely and quickly perish from this Earth
Gosh, what a lovely comment - more than a comment, it’s like a story through a couple of generations. You maybe don’t realise, but you, Mary, have wonderful tales to tell and an amazing education to pass on. Wish you were my neighbour!

Katelyn..I have loved..adored ALL your videos but I truly believe this is my absolute favourite. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I get giddy when I see that you have added a new video. I make a cup of tea and sit and be prepared to be blessed.
Awww! Thank you so much 🥰
Very enlightening. Thank you. I was taught to put bay leaves in the tops of my flour, cormeal, and rice canisters. Also to leave the soil on fresh potatoes , peanuts, etc until use. I was told this kept them fresh.
I survived Katrina/Rita I was REALLY clobbered...
I thought I could prepare for another..but IDA REALLY terrified me ...I came VERY close to no non perishable food for me..I Did prep for my pet...
but I am going to start preparing again .I DO grow all year long in my container garden..but this reminded me to do better❤️
Love this! I grew up on a mountain, so we had to stock up on food and consumables because we only went into town once a week. I now live in the middle of the city for most of the year, but stocking my pantry is still ingrained in me.
That's awesome! I believe it can be a useful tool no matter where you live 🤍
I’m new to your channel and I’m so excited to learn how to prepare a full pantry without waste. What you are sharing is almost a lost art and I would like to learn more even though there are a few grocery stores close to my house. I wish I have a cool basement to store food. Blessings!
Your videos bring so much inner joy into my day...Thank you sweetheart! May God bless you abundantly!
Love love love! 🥂 to "Pantrying"!
I also started with it last year. Also I love buying from local farmers. It makes me connect better to my area and less dependent on supermarkets. 😊
Your monologue sounds like poetry: "If you think about it, we are only 100 years removed from knowing how to sustain ourselves through the work of our hands. This was the way from the beginning, and the modern world is, at best, an experiment." Brilliant and wise. And beautiful.
Always been my fave channel and inspires me a lot. I really want to say thank you for sharing authentic videos. All episodes are touching me!💜
I need to reorganize My Pantry. Your videos are always inspiring. 🙂😄😀
You have a very soothing voice that almost relaxes you as we listen...its beautiful actually
I was born in 1957 and both sets of grandparents still lived that way...growing/producing their own foods and preserving them until they could grow new foods I'm the spring.
I remember taking my turn at the butterchurn...exhausting but necessary work.
I also remember my grandfather chopping the heads off chickens for dinner, and sitting with my grandmother away from the house plucking the chickens.
One of my early memories is walking with my uncle down to the barn and the flashlight highlighting a pig that was hanging from a tree draining its blood into a tub below. I've always been aware that meats do not come prepackaged like they do from the grocery store.
I highly recommend, especially if you have deep freezers, a vaccum sealer. I love ours! We were able to reduce down many pounds of meat to flat packages. :)
This just showed up in my feed... 5 minutes in and I'm already hooked, subscribed & waiting to watch everything else on the channel. #kindredspirits
I absolutely loved this video. So inviting, calming, educational, and beautifully put together. I could listen to you all day, hands down best video for relaxing and learning at the same time. The cozy warm colors also add so much to your presentation. Great job!! I’m so glad your video came up in my recommendations.
Glad I stopped by, this video is beautiful done. Pantrying love this word.
I like that you call it an art. Growing up then, I can say that my mom was a great artist in pantrying. There was no internet, and you couldn’t just order your food online. I came from a middle class home, so we could always buy groceries. The way it worked then was that once every week or twice a week, she would always buy enough groceries not just for that week or two, but to fill the entire home with food consistently. We had food in our pantry, food in a food closet, food in the fridge, and food in the cupboard, food and fresh fruit in the kitchen on the counter and on the table. Of course we would eat out, but there was always food in the house, for us, for guests, for friends, and for the odd time for neighbours.
This video was so satisfying to watch.....what a lovely channel. The end quote was icing on the cake. Blessings to you in the new year :)
I really enjoyed the peaceful loveliness and artistry of your video. My new house will have a dedicated pantry as I would like to devote much of my time to pantrying. Will definitely adopt your word :)
I love seeing all the mason jars full of food! Would you be willing to do a video on different “country home” ideas? Like decor, etc?
I LOVE this idea!!
The art of pantrying would make a great title for a book about putting food by
Beautiful video! Yes, it is a dance we do to keep ahead of our food stores. And it is quite rewarding.
Would love to see your house tour video! 😍
Well said! I appreciate hearing someone sharing these facts you expounded upon 💐
I'm not really sure why I clicked on your video... but I'm glad I did. What a thoughtful presentation. I already do a lot of what you showed here, I too believe in being a good steward of our resources.
Those waffles looked amazing.
I loved this I started thee art of pantrying last year. I also do a lot of dehydrating; tomatoes, peppers, onions, and my favorite green power powder. ❤️
That is awesome! 😍 I'd like to invest in a dehydrator eventually. Sounds so yummy!
This is so lovely. I really appreciate the care, effort, and artistic touch you put into your life and your videos. I think I long for a more peaceful and intentional life every time I watch your channel
I loved this! Building a pantry is indeed an art! 💕 It is really helpful to see what can be stored and preserved for winter. And all these colours make the kitchen prettier and cozier! ☺️
I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you 🤍
I love this video because I love organizing my pantry/cupboards too.
What a beautiful way to present your pantry. Thank you for a very inspirational video
Aww, what a beautiful pantry 👍👍👍!!!
Pantrying! I love it!
Thank you for another wonderful post, you do make things look possible for all of us.. May He Bless your week ahead abundantly xx
Aww I'm so glad, that is my goal! Thank you and blessings on your week as well 🤍
Great video, food for the soul. a beautiful way to view the sacred art of nurturing the body of ourselves and loved ones, as well as reducing waste and care for our planet.
Thank you for sharing your ideas and showing us your storage areas. Everything looks so homey and comforting. Happy New Year! Diane
Aww thank you! Happy New Year!
So true every one pantry is different me specifically I have plenty of organic and item we use the most in my home in the summer we grow herbs to have in the winter. I love the tips you offer with the buttermilk leftover also the standup freezer I love work well and we could see clearly what we have to use up to date. God bless
Yes! That's exactly why we went with an upright one too. Thank you for watching! 🥰
I pray all that is good and prosperous from the Lord to you and your family in this New Year. Keep shining the light of Christ to others in all things you do. It does make a difference in people's lives who desperately need the Savior. Continue being an inspiration Kaetlyn, as all who see you knows your work is all for the Lord.
Thank you so much Daniel! Blessings on your New Year as well ❤
Thankyou for the beautiful video and sharing your home with us..it gives us ideas..be Blessed 🙏✝️
Ohhh I love throwing out a tv and adding little shelves!
I feel blessed to have found your video and channel tonight. Your message of preservation and food waste is so important. I liked that you even had a pile of books in the beginning that I can't wait to find and read as well. 📚
I'm so glad you are here! Welcome and thank you! ❤
@@quietintheland no thank you!♥️🌷
RUclips suggested this video and it was right on. ;-) I love that apron you are wearing.
I absolutely loved this! What wonderful ideas. Thank you.🥕🌽🍠🧄🍎
Yay! Thank you! ❤
Amen. Feed my soul first, Lord, then my body.
Awe what a sweet name for it. I’ll definitely be calling it that now. Just the video I needed today 🥰
Yay! Thank you for watching ❤
I too have noticed that it's something that constantly needs "fluffed". Just this week, I reorganized one of my home canned storage areas and my cook books. It feels like a chore before I start but it turns into a pleasure as I realize how busy I've been canning and preserving nutricous foods for my family to enjoy. It's also very satisfying to know that I am 1 cog in a the wheel that is activly reducing the amount of waste I send to the land fill by growing and preserving some of our food on our land. It gives me a sneek peak at Psalms 37:29, which is deeply satisfying. I think it's so satisfying to me is I feel like Proverbs 31:15 when I participate in this kind of household activity, it feels like the role I was designed to do.
SO perfectly put! 🙌🏼 Love all of this
I love the term, "the art of pantrying"! You're onto something, and it's the perfect title for your book. You are going to put together a book, aren't you? You have the groundwork or outline for it in all of your past videos and blogs, including pictures, recipes, gardening, putting up produce ....
You don't have to do a book, but I would buy it if you did.
Thank you, I enjoyed this, and learned a little something as well... now I think I have some cranberries in the fridge that I can do something with. LOL.
Oh this was such a well planned and thaught through video, it truly inspired me to think differently about my food storage system
Thank you! I'm so glad :)
YES exactly 💯 I loved this so much...
Calming
Beautiful
Useful
Thoughtful
Thank you 🥀
Beautiful in every way!
So beautiful !God Bless you thank you!☺
Beautiful jars ! I love canning .
Thank you for this video, I have become very interested stocking up. This past year was probably the most I’ve ever stored but still not nearly enough. I tried to store apples in my basement which stays fairly cool but unfortunately the critters found them so I made apple sauce. The music is beautiful and the filming is lovely.!
Thank you for your Christmas post, it came at a time where I was having some problems that potentially could’ve cost a lot of money. You reminded me that I am in the care of a loving and powerful God who works all things for my good and everything turned out well!
How lovely and wise.☺
Thank you Diana ❤
❣️ well done beautifully spoken. I love the old way of living. God bless. 😊
Thank you!
I love everything about this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just love your videos, I'm definitely not calm in mine like you are. They are so peaceful....and I love the word pantrying! Have a great day!!💗💗
I Loved your presentation. It takes me back to what I grew up with. Before I got so busy with work and didn't have time to live the right way.
I'm so glad I found this site.
It didn't take many minutes before I became one of your subscribers.
Thanks again for sharing such great ideas.
Thank you kindly! ☺
Great video! Gives me good ideas for my pantry. I need to add an area in the basement next to my freezer.
Yay!! Thank you!
I started 'pantrying' and sourcing meats/veggies from local farms in late '19. Of course, there r many great reasons to pursue pantrying, however, my main objective was to re-connect w/ how I was raised. BTW....luv ur 'pantrying' term!
That's awesome Johnny! Thank you!
Enjoyed this video on pantring. Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful video. I guess I am pantrying too. Sometimes I just like staring at all the pretty jars of food I've put up. New sub here!
This does make me inspired to start being more involved with my family’s vegetable garden. It’s not big, weve got 2 vegetable patches but they seem to grow a fair amount. Currently we have some winter vegetables growing. I’d like to be more involved with the process and it’s great to know where your food comes from. Great video! :)
How awesome!! It definitely is rewarding :)
I'm new to your channel! What a lovely video. I feel your sentiment! Pantrying is going to be a catch phrase at our house!
Beautiful and spot on. Thanks
Hint for you.... Get yourself some organic sugar and organic molasses and make your own brown sugar. You will be BEYOND happy you did. You get 10xs as much for an 1/8th of the price. Plus you can make light or dark just by adjusting the amount of molasses you add. And it doesn't get hard like store bought. One way I help myself save money and always have a stock of it in the pantry.
Please continue your wonderful videos. The way you talk about things is so calming and inspirational. Ty
I have known about this trick but for some reason have never tried it! I may just have to! Thank you for the encouragement ✨
Pantrying. A new verb! I love it. 🥰
Thank you for sharing such an inspiring and informational video. I am going to make small adjustments to my pantry, letting it be a verb!
This was my absolute favorite video of yours! I love them all but this one speaks to my soul!
Aww thank you Kimmi!! 🥰
This gave me the feeling of watching a vintage video.
Love this! Speaks straight to my heart ❤️
Aww yay! Thank you 🥰
Those waffles looked soooo scrumptious!!!
"This is what should have been from the very beginning.......stewardship not [for] survival." Gold!
(A blessed new year, Kaetlyn! Many happy returns! ^_^)
Happy New Year!! ❤️
Love this I love to preserve it's like a dying art to me would love to see more on pantrying
