We had a local Town resident that posted in our local Facebook group that he was working three jobs and still having to go to the food pantry to feed his kids but they never hand out any meat. He explained that normally he's the one helping people but he has set aside his pride and is asking for help... so a lot of us residents saw the post and reached out to him. I gave him 36 eggs from my backyard chickens. I said it's not meat but it's still protein if your kids like eggs and he did come by and pick up those two 18 packs I handed him and was very grateful. At least his kids had some protein to eat until he could get back on his feet.
Beautiful ❤
I've had periods I didn't eat so that my kids could. I started on food preservation because of a week post hurricane with almost nothing and no power. I suddenly found myself ready for the lockdowns, not knowing I would need that. Now, my family could go a year+ without a grocery store. When unexpected bills popped up, they were paid... and we still ate. I learned cooking, but a mix of scratch and box. I knew nothing about preservation and preparedness. Now I do.
If he is local, ask if a couple of his kids can do chores for you in exchange for eggs and any fruit and veg you can spare. A win-win for both sides.
Our local food pantry always has meat but the salmon fishermen donate salmon and Costco is generous with the rotisserie chicken, either cooked or DIY. The rest of the items vary.
They are little. @@sandramaiden4707
I am a new subscriber today.
I am 53 grew up poor living in motels all through the 70’s and 80’s.
My dad was a drinker and in construction so we traveled wherever the work was. We had several recessions back then.
We cooked on a hot plate and our refrigerator was an ice chest. No one taught me the “ old” ways.
Thank you for helping others.
I am here to learn❤️🙏
God bless
Honestly, listening to the comments from Jane, makes me think that she isn’t seeing how people are able to learn. You tube gave me the confidence to pressure can, and I’m 62! I absolutely love doing it and am grateful for the skill. Keep teaching, keep rising others up to the level of confidence we all need. Blessings girl!
I am also 62 & just learning how to can & yep, it's been from RUclips. I watched videos from multiple sources, multiple times before I finally got the courage to try. Leesa nailed when she said we're too frozen to take a step. Thanks to her and a few others, I finally got brave enough to try.
My first attempt was to make peach butter - just make it, I was still too scared to can it. Slowly though, I'm making progress. It would be so nice if there was a community in real life to help. Not only do I have the fear to deal with, but I also struggle anxiety & depression. Having other people to do it with would help a lot. Nothing seems as overwhelming when you have someone to work with. We need more Leesa in real life & a lot fewer Janes. Why do you think it's taken us until this age to try? It's because we're too afraid to ask someone for fear of being judged.
I'm 65 and because of folks like you I learned how to pressure can. I love it
Single mom, raised my daughter alone
Been brokeore than not. I love watching you
Learning so much
Same here, learned to can from RUclips
I could make jellies or preserves before, but your Canuary during Covid is what taught me to really can just about anything! I'm 67 years old, so you are teaching us older dogs new tricks! 😊
Same! At 60 I started learning pressure canning, bread and biscuit making. Heck... I'm still learning stuff! God love ya Jane, but know that God has blessed us with channels like Suttons Daze to teach us on our own time line (like after midnight and after work). Thank you for all the hard work L.
I was raised by a mother who survived WW2 in Germany and a father who was so poor he had to shoot squirrels for food. Taught me how to plan ahead and save money, and I will be forever grateful.
Thank you
I am sitting here crying listening to this because this is so me. Oh I can cook, very well but I am 63 years old and I was raised in the city. All you have to do is go to the store and buy it. I never knew about canning until about 10 years ago but again, I lived in the city so hello the store. But then my husband moved us to the country and we grew a garden but he just sold the extra to a restaurant or we gave it to neighbors. After he passed away I found your channel and I have learned so much from you and now I have a canner, steam canner, dehydrator, juicer and I have a 3 year supply of food put up for myself. Between my pantry and 5 freezers. So thank you Leisa for what you do. I have never met you but I consider you a good friend and mentor. You just be you, there will always be haters, I just ignore them they are not worth my time and energy. Love you and your channel.
Well said!
@@sorciere...DITTO
So true!
Convenience is killing America. People best start seeking out alternative news. Up is down, left is right, right is wrong, wrong is right. It's "all" been a lie.
I was taught how to cook, sew, manage money, work on my car before I left home at 17. Hugs from parents were few to never. I'm 62, and retired at 56. I have my stockpile. Thanks to channels like this one taught me to preserve my food. Thanks to the creators.
OMG! We are the same age and so similar. I just posted a comment almost exactly as yours! Never too old to learn new tricks! I trust this channel.
I'm 64 and a retired teacher from school for kids with social/emotional disabilities. I used to teach a food/nutrition class to my high school kids that included how to make applebutter from scratch and then waterbath can it. We also planted a salad garden. Most had no knowledge of these things and really enjoyed the projects. This morning, I told my 5-year-old granddaughter that we had to open another jar of "her" grape jam from the pantry, and replied, "well, grandma, we just need to make more." It made my heart smile. Thanks for teaching to the community, Leisa!
Teach the children. Your post made me remember my first bean plant. As a ~5/6 year old, I planted one bean in a 1/2 pint milk carton with the top cut off and watched it grow. It was amazing.
Bless you!
I grew up a latchkey kid in the 80’s. The only cooking I learned was ramen noodles, opening cans and microwaving pizza rolls. If it weren’t for people and channels like yours, I’d have never started a garden, never canned or baked a single thing. We don’t all have moms/grandmas/neighbors to teach us. You’re a blessing to those of us that need someone to show us the way.
I feel the same way!
Starting a garden is my next step. I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm watching videos because no, I never learned this growing up!
@@kaesmomFitz roots and refuge is where I learned to garden! Her videos a great…and just remember-things want to grow….you can do it!
Thanks - I"ll check it out!
@@kelliebaranowski
Sit down with a pad of paper & pen when watching these VALUABLE videos… the information are the keys to living well!! I’m 67, I’m learning too!!
This lady is absolutely right.
I'm so grateful to my mother for the way she run our family household.
I'm a single mom immigrant , worked for 13 Canadian$/hour for several years then for 18. My house is paid off, my son is a University student without any debt just because I know how to cook from scratch. No cane food in my house. I bake my own bread, make my own yogurt, cheese,.....
Thanks to my mother!
Leisa, I was one who panicked in 2020 because of the lock downs. My family ate out a lot prior to that. So needless to say, my family and I were not prepared. I started watching your canning videos and learned how to put up food and build a pantry. You have been an absolute blessing to me and mine. Please know that you have made a positive impact on so many lives. Thank you from my heart.
But aren’t you proud you have learned. I was thinking just this week as I observed the line of people waiting for grocery pick up. If you haven’t been in the stores personally you are unaware of how things have changed. Those of us here I am sure have notice the constant shifting on the shelves, the diminished choices, the frequent and changing empty spots. It blows my mind that there are still people who, after the last three years, still haven’t learned the vital need for a very deep pantry.
My Dad used to say: “What did it TEACH you?” every time I had an experience like yours in 2020. YOU LEARNED. You’re in a much better place now. Good on ya! Leisa is a teacher par excellence for so many of us. Keep up the good work, Dear. Dear?!…yeah, I’m really old!
I am 38 years old, and your videos and a few others on the tube have helped me learn and have made it so I don't have to be like we were when I was a kid. And my kids don't have to go through the things I did. I work my butt off to pay my bills and then come home and teach my kids how to garden and can. I have had to go without eating for days just so my kids could eat. Till I learned from you, there is a better way, and I thank God for you and the time you're willing to take to help people like me.
There isn't enough thumbs up to click on regarding this video. You are SO right on all points. I took Home Ec in the 1970's. Your videos have become a refresher for me. I've been canning over 30 years, yet at 68, I still get great nuggets of information from you. All valuable information and you always refer back to USDA to be safe. Keep on doing as you have been doing with your videos. I guess if someone feels they are too elementary, unsubscribe. There are so many people that don't know basic anything. I wish Home Ec and Shop would be brought back to schools so future generations can learn basic skills. I appreciate every video I have watched on your channel. Thank you!!
❤
Leisa, I think this one of the best and needed, a refreshing reminder and knowledge we all need. THANK YOU! I will put into effect a few more efforts as of right now. You started me on this path of canning and gardening 7 years ago. I’ve watched everyone of your videos several times over and have learned so much and am so very inspired!!! Thank you for sharing so much. Today is a new day! I’ll be cleaning my garden beds, planting 4 different kinds of onions and some new garlic. Seed starting tomorrow. Much love🤗❤️
Thank you for this conversation, I am 77 years old married 57 years now. I was a stay at home mom for 6 years, when we bought our first home I went back to work. All our meals were made from scratch, I planned out two week meals at a time. We struggled but we did ok. Yes society is definitely different now people get the entitled attitude from commercials on tv, they believe they deserve it. I hope young people are paying attention, you can land out on the street very quickly. Having at least 3 months of prepped food gives you security. Prepping your own food gives you pride, having handyman skills will give you pride. Many blessing
Leisa when I discovered your channel and canning November 2020, I had just been revived 19 times. I had 30 clots in my lungs and could barely breathe. It was the height of the pandemic and not one of those major corporations would deliver their 'convenient' and over-priced food to me so I could feed my daughter. 6 weeks nobody would allow me to purchase food from them because I had 'respiratory symptoms'....But your channel had showed me how to can, I brought a canner, I brought jars, and I brought the books and I got started. I took my daughter along every step of that journey, now she is 13 and she is inviting friends home from school to can things with her! You changed our home and lifestyle forever, you guided us into food stability when we hadn't even realized we had a lack of food security * warm hugs * Thank you from our home and hearts.
that is so awesome and so sorry about the health issues you faced. Stay strong and stay safe!
@@suenorton6032 Challenges are blessings and these ones made me stronger. I got better, it just took a while.
Great life story. Blessings to you and your daughter. ❤
Wow. That is a testimony. Bless you and our daughter
Your empathy and kindness towards others is an example to reflect upon. You bring a ray of hope in troubled times. Thank you and be well.
Many people my age (29) do not know how to cook, let alone preserve food and stock a pantry. Why do all that work when you can just door dash 🙄 many of us were not taught, I taught myself in college, I had to, I was on a tight budget! I am grateful for that and that there are resources like you on RUclips where people can learn! Thank you.
Leisa, I think the comment that children can understand your videos is a compliment (unintended as it was). It means you break the information down to a level that is clear and concise that anyone can understand it. 🙌 🎉 Jane, we agree, Leisa is a good teacher and mentor!
I recently posted on our town's facebook page about who in the area does food preservation, and tried to start a conversation about it. I was inundated with people saying that they wanted to learn. One of my friends posted that she recently took on the challenge of coordinating community days at our local community center and reached out to me asking if I would want to do a canning day. My first instinct was to run. Self doubt creeped in, the thought of "I don't know enough, I'm not good enough, what if what I teach hurts someone?" all of this ran through my mind. But then I thought of you, Leisa. And I have learned so much from you, and all the wonderful links that you've provided, and the love that you've poured into this channel. I said yes to doing the canning day, and we're working on getting a representative from our local extension office to come too, to go over safety and maintenance of a pressure canner. I will do this day, I will do it scared, but the first step is always scary, huh? Much love to you, from NH. Be safe, and keep on spreading the word of preparedness. xoxoxox T.
Thank you, I'm going to find my local community or extension office to see if they have anything similar so I can connect with people who know a lot more than I do in my area. Bless you🩷
We just moved away from NH. Had you done this while I was still there, I would have been all in to learn. I'm going to check here in PA and see if there's anything available to learn more.
You can do it. Use the solid resources available like the USDA book online. It’s free. Stress the right things and take your time. It’s time to share.
Everyone has said it all. You rock, Lady!!
And your dedication to assisting others is awe inspiring. Jane told us about who she is, not about who you are. Keep being you!
I was raised by parents who went through the depression. I raised All my children myself after my husband passed away he was only 31. All of my children are hard workers and the help of the canning, gardening and filling the woodshed. Now as for the grand kids we'll they don't have a clue. I'm 73 and I'm doing really well.
Being in my 50s , the introvert of the family and the old soul ....ive watched the slow creep of convenience work its way in to modern family life and the slow death of the old ways of living.....we let it happen .. and people like you are keeping the fight for life alive!!!! Thank you for all you do....❤❤❤
I thought I was going to be annoyed by this video, but Lisa is spot on. Look at a graph of corporate profits and CEO salaries compared to worker wages over the last 70 years and you'll start to see why no one can afford the American dream anymore.
Thanks, Lisa, I am 70 years old and you are my canning guru. I'm preserving good whole food from my garden free of all the chemicals, baking my own bread, and learning more every day.
I helped a neighbor build their first garden some years ago. When they sold the house, the new owners took out the garden. Sad.
There are a lot more younger people learning cooking, canning and preserving skills now. Thank you to all the content creators that are helping them along! Blessings!
Leisa thank you for choosing to be vulnerable and sharing with all of us, this subject is SO important. Normalcy bias and the associated reactive social backlash is very real.
Boy oh boy...there is one (or 100) in every crowd. You and many others are a God send to millions. There is a saying that goes "when the student is ready to learn, a teacher will appear." That is YOU & others on RUclips. Back in my day, I'd go to the library and get as many books as allowed; mostly gardening, prepping, putting food up & survival skills. Both sides of my family were poor. One side had a huge garden, raised chickens, went hunting. My grand-daddy lived off the land and believe me, we ate good!!! even when times were tough..... Keep preaching, sister, the world needs more folks like you.
Lisa, you speak truth! Keep saying and praying!
Great video Leisa. Thank you.... Please don't let these people get under your skin. There are so many of us that appreciate everything you teach and talk to us about. God Bless
AMEN AMEN 🙏 PRAYING FOR ALL OF US.. Do what you can when you can y'all we all need to learn many different things from each other..
Girl, I'm 56 and an accomplished cook, but before I stumbled across your channel I had never heard of peanut butter powder before. You change LIVES! Seriously, we're all hungry for knowledge and skills, and you deliver in a way that makes you feel like a long-time dear friend.
I love PB powder. It makes great sauces with less sugar, and oil in it.
I am 67 years old. I think what you do is awesome! There are so many things that can go wrong in your life. Having a stocked pantry is extremely important. Hugs! And thank you!
This is why l love you because you are so compassionate, I told my husband of 56 years that you are my friend. I wish I could talk to you. Have a beautiful day from a lady named Linda from Broken Arrow, OK
Love that!
I had home economics, and we were taught how to make oatmeal. And fry bacon, and make toast. You have to start somewhere, and that’s what we started with. I took shop, also, and they taught us the safe way to use power tools. My mo was afraid of pressure canners, so if it wasn’t for people like you, I wouldn’t know how to can anything. The girls in high school now don’t have home ec , and shop is considered “uncool”. They can’t figure out a drill, a power saw, a sewing machine, let alone cook anything that doesn’t involve a microwave. They need you and the other RUclips channels, so please don’t stop what you do! And thank you for Canuary! I’m still canning things I learned from it.
My brother is 13y younger than. By the time he got to high school, home ec and shop were merged into a co-ed class called Life Skills, which was just above useless. He can cook because he hung out with me in the kitchen. They wasted a long time carrying around an 🥚 baby.
My mom is 70 and doesn't know how to cook real meals. I started a garden about 6 years ago and didn't know what to do with the food. I am very grateful for channels that have taught me basic skills, and I'm now committed to passing them on. It's never too late to learn.
Okay finally a video I agree with 100%
I love more of these raw videos!
There’s SO many of us just trying to make it and worried non stop but I like you was NEVER taught about nutrition and didn’t even touch it or understand it until almost 30 years into life. So boo to that lady who thinks she knows all because we can’t KNOW everything but we can learn one skill at a time.
❤ keep on keeping on
I appreciate you and your channel so much! I was lucky to have had the benefit of being raised with my grandmother who kept a large family alive through the Depression. I was the child that helped her in the kitchen. My grandmother would always say keep 20 pounds of rice and 20 of beans and you will never go hungry. But not everyone was lucky enough to have that teaching. I am 51 and started canning last year. I am actually so impressed with communities like this where people are learning It gives me hope. We because of communities like this are learning and growing no matter the age we start it only matters WE have started! Thank you. Holding you in much love and appreciation.
Here I am at 68 yrs old and just now learning how to pressure can. THAT is because of YOU! Thank goodness we have someone like you who gives a darn to pass your skill down to those of us on fixed incomes and the like. My son and daughter in law are interested in canning and pantry preparedness. My younger best friend as well. I've told them to watch you. It is essential these days to learn these skills that were not taught. Bless you Leisa for all you are doing. You are very much appreciated❤️
I think a lot of younger people are so busy working that they see learning to can as something they are too busy to learn to do. I am amazed at how many seniors (like me) learned to can after retirement age.
I'm 70 and have had a pressure canner for a couple of decades, rarely used.....I will change that this year...
I thought I was a late bloomer and I'm almost 61.l learn't how to do some canning and pressure canning from watching channels like this.
My adult kids don't feel the need to learn and think I am nutty and worry to much.
@nicolekroeker6754 Don't feel bad. My other 2 kids tease me too! Lol
My mom was a young adult during the depression and continued to be frugal her whole life. But we lived in the city so I never learned to garden, preserve food, use herbal medicine, raise chickens, or anything like that. My mom taught me a lot, and so did living in a big city, but I didn't learn things some people raised in the country take for granted knowing. So I'm really grateful to this channel and others for sharing their skills. I've lived in the country now for 37 years and a lot of people who grew up here don't know the old ways either because their parents and grandparents wanted them to have an easier life.
It wasn’t until I retired that I learned the importance of frugality. We weren’t rich or anything but I didn’t really have to worry about money. If I needed more, I worked extra hours.
Now, we’re living on a fixed income, gardening, canning, dehydrating, we raise our own eggs! We cook from scratch! Thank you Mom!
We are healthier now than we were in our 50’s. God is good, but we need to help ourselves.
Thank you, I have run into people my age, late 60’s, that need a recipe to make basic food. It makes me realize how lucky I am to have had the life experiences that I had!
Leisa, you are so needed in this crazy world! You gave me the courage to pressure can. That is priceless!❤
Sooo True! I'm 66 this year and am to a point I cannot eat store bought soup or breads. They actually make me sick, so I'm listening to my body and doing the real work that it takes to eat healthy. This year begins my canning full on. God has blessed me in so many ways and I've been diligently working to clear out all the bill loads in order to survive what's coming ahead. I'm the financial planner in the home and told my husband last year that our belts would be tightening a LOT! I gave us a 3 year plan to get the house paid and I'm now in year two. At the end of 2025 the house will be totally paid. 2025 being the operative year the world starts shaking worse than it already does.
Lisa, let me start by saying I love your channel. We realize that many people use their keyboards as a way to say things they would never say face to face, but this community thanks you for an open and honest conversation. We also thank you for sharing such personal information about your own life. Lisa, when you take time to address such ignorance and entitlement, it helps the your community realize just how much you truly care about helping others.
I am 69 and had never heard of canning anything, much less making bread! But you and other ladies like you helped not only me, but many others learn to be self sufficient, especially during COVID. Thank you again for all you do. This community truly appreciates it.😊
Hi Leisa.
You are a joy to the canning world.
She just needs to Can her attitude.
I'm 59. It's not just what you're saying, it's the encouragement you give. Keep going. You are appreciated.
Having seen you in ages - You look FANTASTIC - Ive lost 80lbs since jan 2023 - feeling a lot better and diabetes gone - poof
Thank you for speaking out! We have been a consumer nation for generations so the basic knowledge of cooking for one’s self that doesn’t require lifting the plastic on one corner b4 going into oven or microwave is so very real. I am so glad of the canning vids, dehydrating vids and the storing vids .. I didn’t learn how to cook till I became homeless with two little girls under the age of 6 we were taken in by a family that only the kids spoke English, the mother cooked and I stood next to her and she showed me how to make beans, rice, tortias, tamales, cooked chicken in oven and grill. They were poor yet the Lord worked on their hearts to help me, I am so grateful to them and You … we don’t come here knowing how to do the simplest things, not every home had a June Clever as a mom so what some think is simple might not be that simple because buying fast, convenient and simple heat and eat just might be all that person knows and to shame anyone for just not knowing because was never taught in the first place is very harsh and judge-mental . Sometimes people make these comments and never listen or read the reply’s why is that I wonder?
I'm 56. I'm very grateful for your clear teaching.
I am 63 years old, my grandmother and mom both canned, baked Homewood, cooked from scratch. BUT, I was never taught from by them. I have had to learn by myself, reading cookbooks, watching RUclips channels such as yours (which I am extremely grateful for), and lots of trial-and-error...... keep it up Lisa
I will be 57 in a month. I dabbled with water bath canning at times and made jam and salsa but that was the extent of it. Because of you I started to pressure can. Because of you I have food insurance. Because of you I learned to put my own mixes on the shelf. Because of you I look forward to Monday night. You are one of my blessings.
Thank you for having a true heart for people.
I don't post often. But Thank you! For all that you do! ❤
Right On my sister. You may be preaching to the choir at times, but sometimes the choir needs to be preached to. I find your honest and simple approach build, prepare and share is a breath of fresh air. I'm a 73 year old man and I need and appreciate any teaching I can get.
Enough folks murmuring and complaining. Bible tells us to trust the Lord and be grateful. Your willingness to help others with lifes struggles is to be highly commended. God help us if such a thing as an EMP or other really horrible national emergency were to occur. The professionals clsim 90% of the nation's population would be dead in the first year. Those willing to learn and grow will have the best chance of surviving. Amazing how folks aren't laughing at the Preppers now. The Bible tells folks how to live and be prepared for hard times in this life. Praying for Repentance and Revival in this Constitutional Republic. May God bless you mightily in the coming days and years.
❤
Just think of how many lives you have saved/changed for the better. You and others like you are a God send. Thank you . 🙏🏻❤️✌️
We also have to remember that the educational system chose to remove programs that taught financial planning, cooking, home and vehicle maintenance. Thank you to you Liesa for teaching the skills to put up food. My grandmother did show me some of the canning skills, but I couldn't always be there when she had to do the task. Thank, I have learned so much!
I am 49 and did not grow up to learn to pressure can, dehydrate foods and much more. I learned it on this channel. Now I have a cellar full of good quality food. I have saved so much money canning my own food and stocking my shelves. It is channel like these the bring back those lost skills. Now I am now canning with my children and nieces, passing on skills I learned from this channel.
I'm 49 and grew up with a much older mom who did have a huge garden and canned things and sewed. I didn't pay attention though. I was always in the wood shop with my dad helping him build stuff.
I did learn to sew at 30 (though my mil helped me learn to read a pattern bc that was hard for me) and though I had crocheted at a very young age with my grandmother, I didn't remember how to do it. So I taught myself and watched some RUclips videos to learn more. I have yet to can anything but I'm working on that!!
Well said Leisa! And you have helped way more than one person. Keep being genuine. It's my favorite thing about you.
I pressure canned pulled pork last night for the very first time. I'll be 54 and my mother never taught me how to can. Thanks for stepping in as mom for many of us! 😊 next I will start making ugly chicken to clean out my freezers...
My mom is 84 years old. She was a working mom and never taught me to cook. I taught myself and learned from cookbooks and tv shows. When RUclips came around it was wonderful! You have helped me learn about canning so much!
Same here, self taught from childhood as a survival strategy. 😂 mothers cooking was basic to non existent. Often burnt offerings.
My mother in law didn’t teach her daughters anything about cooking or cleaning. I asked why and she explained that her life, growing up, was so very hard and she wanted better for her children. Since then, I’ve had similar comments from elderly in our community. They meant well. Unfortunately it creates a problem when an entire generation wasn’t taught.
@@sstong2054 when I asked my mom, she said she could be a brilliant housewife and cook, but she wasn't interested in it, had better things to do. Grade A narcissist imho. Dysfunctional families 😆
@@sstong2054 Yep. We've had multiple generations now where the parents push their children to "go to college and get a good job so you don't have to work as hard as I did." Look where that got us :-/
I never had anyone to teach me this stuff. No one in my family even *did* most of this. Not even my gramma, born in 1924, canned or gardened. She was frugal and could cook and sew and whatnot, but nothing beyond the very rudimentary basics of any of it. My mother constantly hounded on about wanting us to be independent but didn't teach us HOW. I had to teach myself to tie my shoes, for Pete's sake! (Bunny ears!!) I'll be dammed if I'm going to send my children off into the world without as many basic life skills as I feasibly can. With the help of lovely people on here, of course 😊
I say it all the time, much to the chagrin (look it up if you don't know it) of many, "'children are a map of their parents,' regardless of age."
I'm 53, my mom is 82. My mom wasn't taught how to cook. Her parents put getting a degree as the most important thing. I never learned how to cook or garden. I taught myself in my 30s. I have been dirt poor and eaten cereal with water and Ramen noodles for weeks because that's all I could afford. This video touched my heart. God bless you, kind lady.❤
I have been cooking from scratch for 50 years. I too have been through severe financial struggles. Fortunatly, not so much now. I learned to can in my teens, I am knocking on 70. I have made bread by hand - without a mixer of any kind, I can make pie crust, basically cook anything I want. I am very blessed to have had a mother and father who taught me these things as well as how to sew, quilt and crochet. I learned how to change an outlet or light switch safely.
That said, I WATCH ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS! I learn something new nearly every time. I trust your advice. You are not a "Rebel Canner" and I am not worried that I might hurt my family - husband, kids, grandkids, great-grandkids because I did something you showed me how to do. Not so with many other channels.
Thank you for all you do, for your hard work, for caring. Keep on, you are truly appreciated.
The fact that there is no home ec in school anymore is not a coincidence. Sewing, cooking, gardening, budgeting, etc is as if not more important than having a trade. If videos that are “made on level for children” are what people need to learn these skills are where we are at as a nation, it’s a direct result of the failing educational system. If they were too complicated honestly I wouldn’t understand. You can’t comprehend what you haven’t been given the foundation to understand. Thanks for your teaching videos and ignore all those negative comments. Keep helping your fellow citizens. We need it to survive what lies ahead. God bless.
Amen, my sister! Every single one of us found our way to this channel in different ways & for different reasons. Growing up, we were barely getting by. As an adult I've gone through times when things were decent, & other times when my first husband was battling brain cancer at age 26 with a 4yr old & a 6 month old. Times were BEYOND tough! I'm eternally grateful that my mom taught me how to cook, how to grocery shop (while stretching a penny til it cried for mercy!). In turn, I'm also grateful that my kids liked to cook & were eager to learn & I involved them in grocery shopping as well. I also understand that those things may not have been available to everyone in my generation. When I was newly married in the early 90's one of my then-husband's ship mates got married & he & his wife moved into the same apartment complex. I had to teach her how to use the washer & dryer in the laundry room. For the most part there were two ends of the spectrum in my age group, either both parents worked outside of the home, so kids had to do for themselves & easy to heat or prepackaged items were simpler for those kids since you didn't necessarily need to know how to "cook". At the other end, you had kids who were perhaps more affluent & had a parent who did everything for them. Both extremes lost out on learning how to budget or cook or manage a household. I give kudos to anyone & everyone who is starting from scratch to learn those things now, regardless of age. The Suttons Daze family is a wealth of knowledge & support & we're all here to help anyone who needs it. We may even be able to help you learn from our own mistakes! I hope that one person's comment won't discourage or shame anyone out of asking questions or asking for help
Every single one of us had to start with baby steps & there is absolutely NO shame in that!
I have a granddaughter who watches everything I do and helps me...we pick veggies from the garden, gather eggs, make pasta and bread... when she gets old enough she will help me can. Her mother doesn't have these skills and currently does not have time. So I can for her. I am hopeful for future generations. I didn't learn how to can until a few yrs ago.
Leisa you are one of the best people on you tube for pantry preparation
You make it to where everyone can learn not just a few
Shame on whoever makes comments like these
The rest of us thank you from the bottom of or hearts
Illinois here and a new subscriber. Im 65 and raising an adult son with Autism and Psychosis. You are a blessing. Im listening and taking notes.
Relate with your thoughts and knowledge, and Im grateful I have you as a teacher ")
I'm 65 lost my job because of physical health issues had to go on early retirement which isn't much. My husband at 72 and I moved to a trailer house with my 86 yr mother trying to survive. I bought a pressure canner watched your video after video on how to use it. So far with the small amount we receive from our social security the lights have stayed on and enough food to can to get by. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting these videos out.
Leesa...I'm 69 and I carry the teachings of my grandma and her daughters and sons. I'm so very grateful for learning the kitchen things, including canning, that I learned. A lot of people didn't have the luxury of that. I'm trying to teach my grandchildren some of these skills and some of it works. I do the canning, freezing, dehydrating and anything else I can do. I bake breadstuffs...and other baked good. I have a reasonable stock in my pantry but nowhere near what I could have. I so appreciate everything to do for us. Keep doing it because I know there are so many people out there that need your teachings. I just referred a friend to your channel today and am sending her the link to this video. She is going to get a canner so is a canning newbie. I know you are the best teacher. thank you
I grew up in a multi generational home. Great grandmother, great aunt, my mom, 2 sisters and myself. I learned so much from the elders in the home. Cooking, canning and baking from scratch. We grew most of what we ate and helped a great uncle with his chickens so we got a few to can or freeze. No store bought bread until I was a teen. I've done most of what you talk about but refreshers are always good. May be a new recipe or an easier way to do things. Never too late to learn new things or new ways to do old things. God bless you and others that share your knowledge.
Leisa - don’t listen to the “naysayers.” You keep doing what you are doing … I’m 61 and learned so much from this channel and others … had learned it from my parents too but channels like this solidify what is RIGHT! Hey haters gonna hate … you keep saying all these things. You are awesome! ❤
Wow. This was quite a video. I didn’t cook a whole lot until my little family of 3 became the Brady Bunch of 7. I had a cookbook and learned to cook for a family of 7. Money was tight. Gardening and canning helped a lot. I’m so glad my children and grandchildren have taken up cooking and they are good cooks. One gardens and preserves. I am encouraged to see many young women producing gardening, preserving and cooking from scratch videos. It is not for everyone. Parents work. Their schedules are busy but they do their best. Cooking from scratch is always cheaper but when you’ve been gone for 10 hours, cooking something from scratch can be daunting. Just keep the videos coming. Sorry if I’m rambling.
We were all raised differently! My mom escaped her abusive marriage with me and my baby brother at the age of 23. We then all lived with my widow Grandmother who grew up on a farm. (Her job at 10 was to kill the chicken for dinner). Mom worked 6 days a week and my grandmother embraced all modern living, only growing flowers. No one canned or had more than a week’s food in the house. We never went hungry but I can still hear my Grandmother say “ it wont kill us to eat hot dogs and eggs for a week” when things were tight. She was born in 1911 so i know she went thru the depression but never spoke of it. Most of what i learned was in home economics even though my Mom, Grandma and aunts were fabulous cooks and homemakers. I am SO grateful for everything i have learned since finding this channel. I may already know something being presented, but i can guarantee you, i learn something new EVERY video!!! Thanks Leisa, mods and the 99% wonderful people in this group.
I am 69 years old. I did not have home education. My mom taught me ro cook from scratch. But it was you, the kneady Homesteady and Reign Country, who taught me about canning back in 2016. I was 61 years old. I learned to prep. I am a widow on social security
Thank you for helping me.
I am now teaching my skills to others.
Leisa, you have been a Godsend to me. Until I found you, I had only made jelly and pickles. The first time I used the pressure canner, I was scared witless. I forged on, and guess what? No one died.😊 I am now looking forward to canning everything I can get my hands on. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are simply the best! Oh, I am 71.
Leisa, you are helping way more than 1 person. My mom grew up in a canning household but her mother died when she was 10 so she didn't learn any of the skills. I wasn't raised with a pantry or a garden. We had home ec in 7th grade so i learned basic sewing and cooking, then went off to live on my own bought into the system. I'm 62 now and 2 years ago God prompted me to start learning some of these skills. I've taught my sister and am now teaching my daughter in law and 3 granddaughters. You tube (you in particular) have provided me with a wealth of confidence and knowledge to move forward and pass it on. God bless you for what you do and the heart you do it with.
Leisa...keep on doing what you're doing! It's helping so many people! I am a retired teacher of 30 years from California. At the end of my career, I can't tell you how many of my students' families were living day to day with no thought about the possibility of ever getting ahead. Their reality was "how can I make any kind of dinner tonight....I guess I'll just pick something up from McDonald's. After all, it's super cheap!" Fast food chains target the most impoverished because it's cheap. No real nutrition...just cheap. So, let the naysayers say what they will, but please know that your messages are being heard, and you give very sound advice to those who need it most!
I wad raised on a farm , gardening canning and preserving. Mom was afraid of pressure canners . By the grace of God we all survived the rebel canning. I want to say in the last 3 or 4 years I've taken what I knew and changed my thinking to the right way . I've bought 2 pressure canners . I've have learned that canning ugly chicken is amazing. I owe so much to Leisa. When I had cancer last year , underwent surgery, we lived off our pantry for 6 + weeks . Blessed that I am now cancer free . Working on restocking my pantry . Knowing how to use real whole foods has helped my health. Exchanging store purchased for home made foods . All this to Say! THANK YOU leisa for all you do!! I appreciate you
Thank you yes Lisa you know the reality of lifec. Love ya for your support and encouragement. Thank you for your support. HOLLY g.r. mi
I learned to can from my MIL… she was perhaps a rebel canner and used to water bath her green beans. That is, until she opened a jar that smelled way worse than dog vomit. 😂
I have mastered the pressure canner, needless to say. (Chicken bone broth is one of my favorites to make.)
Just now watching this video. I am 62 and I have learned alot from you. I am glad I found this video and you!
Hi Leisa, Watching from South Louisiana. I am 58 years old and I am the first one in my entire family, from Aunts and Uncles to all the cousins- 50+ people to preserve food. I did not start doing this until the big C came along and You were my saving grace. I watched you and Rose Red Homestead for hours on repeat learning what to do. My notebook with the notes from you is so valuable. I still go back and watch a video or read through my notes.
Bless her Heart (JD) she is lost and self righteous. I thank you so very much for everything you have taught me. I am teaching my daughter and my neices that this is the way we all need to living our lives. Preparing for what you don't know is coming. Thank you and YES - Go out and bless someone.
You are spot on. My Grandparents farmed, canned raised their on pork, beef and chickens. Sold their products to others. They had pears, apples, peaches, apricots, plums, cherry, hazelnuts and walnut trees. They used their property to the fullest. They had to have the kids work to help pay the property taxes so that they would not loose their land to the government. Needless to say that was during the depression. Then the convenience items came into play like bread choices with canned food, fruits, special clothing etc. The next generation saw that, that was progress and worth working to have others do for them. Now times are tough and these, canning, freezing, sewing etc. skills have not been passed down to all. It only needs to skip one generation to be lost. Listen to people who have had to provide for themselves and learn some of these survival skills. You and your children will be all the wiser for it.
❤ Thank you Leisa for sharing your post and responding.
Leisa you are correct in your thoughts here and your intent is purely lovely! Thank you so much for giving this 64 yr old a refresher course in so many skills. I also bought your knife on Amazon and LOVE it!
Has anyone noticed that many of the preparedness you tube creators come from very poor beginnings? It is uplifting to see how they have overcome their hardships and try to share information about being self sustaining. Years ago there were no credit cards and not nearly the amount of government assistance that there is today.
What a graceful, informed response. I grew up with a family that canned, gardened, had animals, etc. and I have learned so much from you and channels like yours. You are appreciated and helpful to many of us.
I’m 43. I just learned how to can last year when my grandfather moved down to TX from Virginia after my grandmother passed. I remember watching him can and helping him in the garden when I was little and spending summers up there, until my grandmother and mother had a falling out. It was 7 years before I was able to see my grand parents again which put me at 16, we went for Christmas. Then I was in my 20’s and again in my 30’s. See, my mom and grandmother had a very tumultuous relationship and my mom did the best she could to keep me and my brother away from it. They would make up the fall out again for years. I was never very close to my grandmother bc of that, but I have always been a grandpas girl. We continued to talk through it all as I was growing up and into adulthood. Because of this tumultuous relationship, my mother left home when she was 17 and joined the Army to get away from my grandmother. So she never got to learn how to do those things which never got handed down to me. After 2020, I developed severe food insecurity and it was then that I started learning to bulk buy and store dry goods by watching you and many others. Then I wanted to learn how to can, again bc of watching you and others. People like Jane don’t know everyone’s circumstances and why “they don’t know how to……” Jane may even ask someone like me, “well why didn’t you learn on your own?” Well Jane, here’s the thing, Life was lifing which didn’t afford me the resources or the ability to do so. I was finally able to make it out of that situation and decided that it was time to do something for myself for a change and got my college education. I have since been a paramedic for the last 10 years working over 3000 hours a year due to shortage and guilt tripping by management. I am still a Paramedic, but have since left the toxic company I was with and with a much better one now for the past 8 months which allows me the TIME and resources to do and learn these things. So Jane, think before you assume you know everyone’s story as to why they haven’t been able to learn something.
Kudos to you Leisa.
I grew up very poor with no or next to no food in our house. I went to bed hungry most every night. I love school lunches because I got to eat something that day . My dad was married five times, had eight kids and raised one which was not the three I was raised with. When I got married 48 years ago I did not know how to cook. We ate a lot of hamburger helper the first year. My husband wanted pork chops once and I had never heard of them and I was just hoping the package of meat would be labeled “ pork chops”. I taught myself to cook. My husbands mother, step mother and grandmother were all phenomenal cooks and I learned from them as well. I am a foodie and I do everything I can to make sure my family does not go hungry and they never have to date. I learned how to make bread, I learned how to pressure can, water bath can, and dehydrate food. Things are not programmed into our DNA… we have to learn or be taught.
I had to laugh at the part that you hoped the package was labeled "pork chops" but look at you now. You go girl.
@@kimusa8114 , I had never heard of pork chops and I thought it was the funniest name so must be like a nickname lol. I was barely 18 years old
I am truly thankful for my mother & 2 grandmothers who taught me “the old ways” of cooking,baking,pressure canning & filling my freezer which stands by my pantry shelves that are filled with mason jars full of food. Leisa , I love these talking , teaching videos that you are doing . I agree with everything you say . Thank you ! Grandmothers teach your daughters & granddaughters how to run a home to be self sustaining . It will be your remembered legacy . Linda
Leisa, thank you for sharing this. People need to have their "reality" checked on a regular basis.I don't know if that's a real person or a bot. If real, are they so sheltered that they don't get it? If so, reality is going to slap them hard one day. Thank you for being someone who truly cares and teaches us the proper way to do things. My mother canned, but i didn’t really learn it then, and didn't practice those ways when raising my children. Thank you for being one of my favorite teachers now! (I'm 64).
I was always the bread winner in the family. When my husband was killed in an automobile accident I had no idea how to cook a simple meal for the kids. He was a market manger for a grocery store, he cooked every meal. I remember standing at the stove trying to do a simple stir fry, crying my eyes out because it would have been so simple for him. I had no idea how to do it. Thank you for all you do. I have learned to pressure can from watching your videos. I love your videos and still need them. Thank you ❤
I’m 51…self taught canning.
When I moved out of the house at 18 my thought was as long as my pantry was full I was doing good. I worked 2,3 sometimes 4 jobs at a time to pay my bills and that was the 90’s and 2000’s. I refused to call my parents for help, I wanted to do it myself and because of my stubbornness….I survived!
I still stock my pantry…it’s just me..:still
My parents are both gone now but I know their proud of what I’ve done and what I’ve taught myself. My grandparents I know are proud as they lived this life!
Thank you once again for another great message!
I am a culinary arts teacher at our local BOCES and I can tell you these kids have no clue how to cook! Most have never cut up a chicken, made stock or know what that is!! We also have many low income kids who are food insecure and when they make something in school they take it home to share instead of eating it as a school "family meal" The kicker here is we are not allowed to teach canning, dehydrating, freeze drying as food preservation, at least in NYS. I have those skills and because of laws, which I do believe were put into place to keep that k.nowledge in the dark on purpose I can't teach younger or even offer it as a adult after school class in a Dept of Health certified kitchen our we loose our license!! This is a very sad but true reality of living in today's world. Keep teaching!! Love watching you and seeing all the amazing things you make. Your doing what I am not allowed to
I grew up with a parent that was raised in the country, so I learned basic skills. Those skills have carried me through the layoffs in the 70’s through the 80’s. It’s amazing how many people have asked me where to start, and I’m grateful to be able to feed others when they can’t feed themselves . You are doing Gods work by teaching others to feed themselves and rest easier at night. You are a wonderful teacher!
I am 66 years old and thanks to you I now have the ability to can food. I was raised by a box cook mother. There were three meals I can remember being cooked that wasn't completely made from box foods. My ex-mother in law taught me how to cook. I lived 4 states away from my parents and when I would visit them my Dad would always say "Yea home cooking" it used to tick my mom off really bad. Until I started watching you and some of the others who can food. I really didn't think those things could be canned. I didn't start storing things until after the lockdown. I am learning how to garden (by NO means a scholar), but 'm trying. I now have enough to keep myself a couple of years. But I have adult children and adult grand children who when it gets really hard I can help them. I am very thankful for those of you who teach us how to do the things we need to survive. Especially those who teach how to do it safely. Please don't let the negative comments stop you from doing what you do. Not everyone grew up with someone who preserved food or gardened. I'm so grateful for those who take their time to teach us.
My sister and I grew up with parents that taught us life lessons. Stuff they thought was important for our future and it has been. But! I learned about having a stocked pantry and how to can from you. There’s things that we just don’t think of. I had no idea that there were forever foods until you made the video. We are never too old to learn. Not all of us has had a privileged life like Jane apparently has. Don’t stop what you do. This world needs more teachers like you. I, and so many others, appreciate you and your lessons. Thank you ♥️
Hello!...just found your channel...im 54 and i think we can just see the big picture now...we have aged but i think the difference is we have aged in our wisdom to!!...we now see how ridiculous this system is !!!...and it is because of our hard times that we carry the knowledge and complete awareness....thanks for your video!!!❤
Thank you Leisa for all that you do and have done for all of us who APPRECIATE you. I appreciate you so much. I have learned alot from you. Thank you!!
I work with mostly mid 20yr olds. They mostly have no clue how to cook. They buy quick food or door dash and then we talk about how much they actually just spent and how they can make that at home for pennies. And the ones that want to, are learning the skills they need. And these skills are SO needed!
Leisa, I’m one of those 70 year old ladies that started canning because of you. You’ve taught me so much. I do it now not because I can’t afford to buy food but because I think it’s an art worth learning. I love it. I’m slowly trying to tell people in my life how important it is . Thank you, thank you, thank you. I appreciate you so much. ❤. Keep it up my friend.
I love “an art worth learning”….!!
Thank you for all you do for people. You are a blessing to so many.
This video went straight to my heart. I'm 60 years old and I can't tell you how many times I've watched your videos and thought "Wow, I never thought of doing/using that." I'm always willing to be open to new ideas and things as I don't know everything when it comes to cooking and pantry preparedness. My brother and SIL spend upwards of $1000 a WEEK on convenience groceries. I spend just over $200 a month for my home because I make most of my foods from scratch and utilize my well stocked pantry. My pantry is well stocked because of the ideas I get from people like Leisa.
How unfortunate that Jane came across as condescending because apparently she knows every possible use of oatmeal and doesn't understand that maybe others don't. May she be blessed with a little humility and empathy after this.
Thanks you for caring enough to show and teach about food security. I am 67, I can and freeze, and store as much as I can. But I still learn a lot from you . GOD BLESS YOU. ❤
I'm 63 and have been awake and prepping since late 2020. For the first several years, my money was very tight, and I was a little in debt. I started putting away non perishables, learned to grow food, and learned dehydrating and fermenting. Those were all new skills. I also bought the Ball Canning book and other books that'll be helpful on a homestead. 16 months ago, I sold my house, paid off my debt, and built a small home (cash) on some acreage in the Ozarks. I'm finally in my house, planning my garden layout and getting settled. I didn't have the money for a Pressure Canner or the space to store it until now. Hopefully, by the time I have something to harvest, I'll be ready to learn that skill. Right now, I'm finding scratch recipes to replace the processed items I used to buy. If I'd have had lots of money space and help, I'd have probably accomplished more during this time, but we can only do what we can do. Channels like yours have encouraged and helped me. Keep teaching because the past several generations have a lot to learn.
I am standing up and appauding you on this video! Yes there are many Janes out there. These videos you do are pure teaching truth filled with wealth of information. Thank you so much for all that you do!
I had a "Jane" come at me a while back. I had agreed with someone else on something and she got her thong in a knot over it, calling me entitled, lazy, all the usual hateful words biased older folks tend to hurl at whippersnappers. She wrongfully assumed things about me, not knowing what my childhood was like, not knowing what I've gone through as an adult, not knowing all the skills I'm teaching myself and my children right alongside me...I let her HAVE IT. I don't hold grudges but I remember her name. Just the other day, I saw her lash out at someone for no good reason, other than to be a bitter beeotch. The other person was hurt, obviously, and I almost stepped in to tell him/her to ignore this "Jane" but I didn't fancy dealing with her again so I left it alone for them to hash out themselves.
I almost wonder if it's the same person...nah, what are the odds anyway...
I am reminded of some Boy Scouts my husband led that came in to camp and said "It's our turn to get lunch ready--what is on the menu?" When told it was beef and vegetable soup, the boys stated, "We can't find the cans"--they could not fathom soup that didn't come out of a can. Great teaching opportunity for these kids. My husband and I taught all of our children--3 boys and 1 girl--to cook and can from an early age. Truly self-sufficient young-adults now. I am grateful for those who share their knowledge and I happily share my skills with others. It's not just food issues, it's self-care things as well--basic first aid, home repair, gardening etc. that are lacking today. We have been programmed to be dependent on 'the government' or something. The problem is, when the people are DEPENDENT they are also imprisoned--if the 'powers that be' can control the food, or fuel or energy etc. they control the people who are dependent on them. It's good to be a part of unifying us as a society to survive. Thanks for being a part of that!!
I am an Australian, and I could not agree with you more Leisa.. it’s exactly the same here. I am 55 years old, and have just gained the skills, and confidence to start pressure canning. And that is entirely because of you, and RUclips !!!!!! Please dont ever change the way you do things… the vast majority of us love everything have to share… I am now teaching my daughter how to be self sustainable (she has 6 children herself) and she has started to teach them
I'm a 36 year old single mom of 3, one of them disabled. This is the first video of yours I've seen and I'm subscribing. No one taught me to cook. Or bake. Or garden. Or preserve food. I'm learning all I can from RUclips so that I can take care of my kids, and teach them how to take care of themselves. I guess if people think I'm pathetic for not knowing those skills already because I'm a woman, then so be it. I'm out here doing my best, like the other people in these comments! Thank you for what you do here!
Samantha, Your not pathetic by any means. I'm sorry you did not learn life skills earlier. Although I believe your kids may be your passion to push you to the fullest knowledge, enjoy your journey and teaching your children.
❤ I love your honesty. You're doing/teaching this skill set because you care.
Frugality and self-sufficiency are becoming acts of rebellion. Thanks for sharing your expertise! Love your videos.
