I love how you've backed your thought process up with scripture - both for you and for us! Thank you xx
I agree.. It was awesome to hear...
Great video, love to see how organized you are. Great tips as well. When my husband was alive we constantly had people over and our friends knew that if they cam to pray with us they would never leave hungry. My husband primary role was to feed their souls and I feed their bellies. Blessings to you and your beautiful family 🙏🙏🙏🥰
That's amazing! I want to be like you (:
I n these uncertain times I've found another plus to having extra food on hand, when a friend lost herhome early in the shut down I was able to ask her if she could take some surplus off my hands thus sparring everyones dignity. I am blessed to be able to do this whenever I see the need. Love these videos I learn so many new tips.
So kind of you and such a blessing!
Very thoughtful oh you.
My family heritage is Mennonite as well, and I definitely grew up with the big garden, canning, etc. It’s such a valuable thing, to have a pantry filled with food to share. Right now we live on a tiny city lot and I would love to have more space to garden.
Does your city allow you to raise a few egg laying chickens, so you won't go without eggs? I wasn't raised as a Mennonite but I was raised in fostercare for 19 months when I was turning12, and I won 4H club in youth fair. We were in the country and we raised 12 egg laying hens, then we also raised 75 turkeys & 150 broilers and we put the meat in the freezer. My foster parents split half a cow & pig with neighbors next door. We also raised a half acre garden and we had lots of food we had plenty of food to eat. My parents tried to keep food coming in, faster than we could eat it!
Egg laying hens takes a few months to raise them so that you can use them as hens, at least for 10 months or so you can keep up with the chicken.
I love, love, love your scripture references. Over the years, I have considered and pondered what the Bible says about being prepared and have come up with the same conclusions you express. It's so wonderful to hear it spoken. Thank you.
This was great! I was just mentioning to my husband that I should begin to stock up more, be prepared for, well, whatever we might find ourselves facing. The Lord has always taken care of us, through 54 years of marriage. But, preparation is something we can do, again, and perhaps have something to share with others as we go forward. Your wisdom in storing your food is worth so much to many. Thank you.
I’ve found that it is super easy when cooking a casserole, crock pot or instant pot meal to make several of them at the same time. There are four of us and when I make a lasagna I always cook it in at least two or three separate aluminum pans. I either cook them all at once or cook one for dinner and cover, label and freeze the other two. We also order monthly meat from Butchers Box so I often have numerous types/cuts of beef, chicken, fish, etc. What really helped me, because we have our inside freezer/refrigerator and our chest freezer in the garage, was maintaining a list attached to my refrigerator that notes what I have on hand. It’s labeled “Inside” and “Outside”, what the item is and the amount. I then use this to make my menu and shopping list. On the “I don’t want to cook” days I check the list and then send someone out to grab the Mac & Cheese casserole and pop it in the oven!
Great ideas! Thank you! And so true about the making extra recipes! I want to do that with baby coming
@@theMennoniteMom I've been trying to purchase items at Goodwill like used Pyrex pans for $3 then I fill them with food to give to people who I know that needs them... I write on the bottom of the pan for them to pass along to the next family as they see fit?
Years ago one family who went to my former church, turned out that 2 kids were murdered as Mom had gone into the shower. Unbelievable! The hvac repair guy was a massive surprise! He wasn't scheduled to be there for a visit, while Mom was headed into the shower. The kids were watching cartoons.
I had a surprise idea one day while I was in school taking paralegal studies, I asked the girl's brother to verify?? He never said yes or no. It's just something that I learned from my classes. It took some time to come thru the legal process for all of the mess to come out of the news. Idk until the end of the case?? Was almost 2 years until the Mom got off legal charges & the hvac guy was eventually sent to prison. Please find a way to keep these scary people out of the family's homes! Those kids were 7 & 9 years old when they passed away. 😳 Everyone always thought that I was such a scardy cat, but it's not funny how things come back to haunt us!
I'm a member of Methodist Church now. My friends were Presbyterian Church members, and I tried to help them where I could to keep their daughter safe.
I did take care of 6 nieces and nephews, along with my 3 boys. I tried my best to make sure to keep all of these kids safe! I was blessed to have seperate income from 1st husband who died in a car accident, so I had a lawsuit seperate income. I was busy taking care of raising the kids now I'm trying to write a book about the lawsuit. Thing is that I have health issues from contaminated drinking water at Lake Travis. I'm asking God to help me fight a brain tumor now. It's benign, but Idk if the tumor will be stopped? I just turned 54 years old. I'm trying to stop this brain tumor before it gets ugly. I'll ask for quick prayers if you can add to it?
My 2nd husband filed for divorce in 2004, but he has apologized. He can't come back to me, and now we know that I did have the benign brain tumor but he has remarried. I'm still trying to make our lives better for everyone. I've been looking for husband #3 and our boys have finished HS.
You had so man good things to say. One of the comments reminded me of the question: what would we have today if we only had what we thanked God for yesterday.
New subscriber. I found your video so refreshing. I love how eloquently you speak about being a mother and about the Lord. Keep the videos up, I am enjoying watching them. Have a blessed day.
Больше всего - я люблю смотреть как люди обустраивают свои хранилища, как хронят свои продукты.
Молодцы амиши...они построили внтури страны - свою особенную страну, которая ни на кого не похожа, только с их стороны огромный позитив и польза во всех сферах жизнидеятельности!!!
- Есть чему учиться у них!!!
Love how open you are about being a christen and all your knowledge on the Bible.. I had organized my chest freezer awhile back and I used the blue recycling bins with the handles on Amazon. They easily stake and the handle is everything!
Love your videos! This video really spoke to me as a wife, mom of 6, a canner, a gardener, and someone who doesnt want to fail her family. Im so glad your pregnancy is going well! Thanks for making such great content, youre amazing!
Thank you! You sound quite busy! I have one boy and struggle to keep up lol
@@theMennoniteMom yes Im always busy but I wouldnt have it any other way!
Thanks for the video, it’s always nice to see what other people do with food storage. I’ve been doing it about 20 years or so and something I would recommend would be to have some water in your basement storage like gallon jugs or 5 gallon jugs or outside your home somewhere in the shade like 55 gallon barrels or 275 gallon tank(s). The reason why I recommend it is because you never know if you have city water if they might turn it off for any reason or just to have in case an emergency happens. Another tip is if you keep your yeast in a mason jar in the freezer it will last forever and it won’t expire. Thanks for being a genuine person I love your videos because of who your are.
Won't the Mason jars explode in freezer.. I'm need to canning and food preservation.
No, the jars won’t burst unless you put too much in them, just allow for expansion. Also, I keep my baking powder in the freezer and peanut butter in the refrigerator because it doesn’t have as long of a shelf life.
You are truly an example of the Proverbs 31 woman! I just found your channel, and I'm delighted with your refreshing and open conversation! I thank God when He brings me to wholesome channels! And I thank YOU for following your heart to have this channel!
I appreciate the humble, balanced way you have shared about being prepared! THANK YOU! We own a small grocery store in New Holland, PA, and it seems wise to make some extra stock. There are shortages now, and more shortages coming.....Let us trust the Lord, and not give in to fear of what the future may be, but also use the wisdom He has given to care for our families and those we can reach out to bless!
Love your perspective- prepare, but don’t be anxious! Trust the Lord! We can never go wrong if we do that. ❤️ Sending prayers for a healthy third trimester!!
You just taught this 56-year-old woman a couple of things. You’re always very interesting to listen to. You’re very wise. I’ve been slowly restocking and and stocking more. Lol I hope you have a blessed evening. ❤️
Hello 👋 dear, how are you doing?
I LOVE how you bring the word of God into your videos! It is encouraging! 😊🥰
Jeanine, you did a great job with your food organization and prep supplies. Thanks for the Scripture quotes, too!
For those of us who are blessed with loving in a church community that brings meals right after you have a baby, sometimes the freezer meals are most needed right before the baby is born. I'm 41 weeks pregnant and am so so so grateful for the freezer meals. Moving is so much work... so is breathing 😉
I appreciate your biblical quotes about worries. I needed to hear those today. Thank you.
Oh my Dear, you are a treasure! I am not a fan of RUclipsr “rants” - and YOU certainly did NOT rant! You are wise beyond your years and perfectly exhibit that balance between trust in the best happening while still preparing for the, uh, not so good events that may happen. Your faith enhances your humanity. Thank you. ❤️
Thanks for the freezer tours! It makes my heart happy to see families are stocked up and able to feed their families no matter what. And what a blessing to have a cattle farmer in the family!!! Green beans are my favorite, and am attempting to grow them in containers on the patio - three so far, lol.
Good for you! I hope it's successful for you! And yes, cattle farmer is a big blessing
Nice to see how you have things setup. I have one chest freezer for one person, so 3 for 3 people sounds great! I can food but I try to rotate what I can each year. 6 month stocking in the freezer is the max for me. If it don't save me money stocking up , I don't stock that much. I am eating down the freezer big time getting ready to buy Belted Galloways grass feed beef(same omega 3 as fish) and some grass feed pork. That butter is a great deal it's from grass feed cows! I make a point to gift / give caned food. Prepping isn't needed if we get past the "it's all about me culture" and share with others! Sharing with others will come back 100 fold. Have a great weekend!
I just came across your video. I love the way you back things up my scripture. And how balance is what we really need. Thanks thank you for your information and sharing your life with us. Blessings
I love your freezer organization. I really need to get containers and organize mine. I agree people really don't understand how much food we need because of eating out and being able to go shopping any time. Now more than ever though, people are starting to keep a stocked pantry. Who knows what God has in store for 2022. God bless you and your new baby.
I think sometimes people don’t realize what “staples” are for people who cook meals 7 days a week. I’m just me (empty nest) but I keep a small “pantry” like yours of shelf stable things I go through regularly or can pull out for a big meal with guests. It’s all in where you spend money - eating out or cooking/being prepared at home. Thanks for sharing!
Hello 👋dear, how are you doing?
My grandmother in Puerto Rico bought a vertical freezer in the good thing is you don't have to dig in. They are new freezers.
Great video Jeanine, thanks for sharing! Your pantry and freezer storage are nicely done and you motivated me to organize our extra goods in our basement ☺️ Sending love and prayers 🥰🙏🏻❤️🙋🏻♀️
Yes, there is great reason to prepare for the future. Not only for food , but supplies of all sorts. I am recovering from a foot surgery and and have more time to think about.
Thanks for reminding me of proverbs 31, 21 when it snows, she has no fear for her household, 25 she laugh at the days to come, 27 she watches the affairs of her household. yes! you are right. 😀God Bless You!😀
I should have looked that up before the video... you picked out all the parts that apply! thank you
@@theMennoniteMom I just know I needed to hear what you said, it was the right moment in my life for that Word. Thank you!
Love how you organized your freezers. Great idea on the chest ones. They can be a pain if not organized. I had a huge one. I would organize it but with young boys I had to do it to much! But kept it up so to use the older things first!
You gave me a few good ideas that I missed when stocking up. We do try to have a good supply on hand but now more than ever we are trying too be wiser about our choices. Thanks for a very informative video and best of luck on your last few weeks of pregnancy. My first daughter was born on April 29th. It was wonderful time of year to have her as everything was just waking up from winter and the flowers were blooming etc. A beautiful time of year to begin a new little life....God Bless 💝
Nice video. I use the bags I bring to the store to put in the freezer. I have a lot of bags LOL. This way they aren't hard, and you can work with them more than crates. The handles are easy to grab and pull out. II have a freezer for meats, and one for veggies and fruits etc. I also put raw eggs in those silicone muffin cups and freeze them one in each. Once frozen, I take them out of the cups and put them in a zip lock bag. I use them for baking after I thaw them. It works out so well. I also can a lot of food. The key to doing all this is NOT to put in your stockpile things you won't eat. Don't forget you can also freeze bananas for banana bread, so you don't have to throw old bananas out! Also use them in smoothies. Keep up the good work.
You are so right about storing. Up on food we don't know what will happen I Love being positive about storing
Hadn't thought about using stevia for bread & butter pickles, thanks for the tip. This year we had a big bunch of green tomatoes at the end of the season and didn't need any chow chow, so made garlic dill pickled tomatoes.....really really good!
I find myself overthinking the whole being prepared idea too, straddling the fence with the virgins and the lamps theory and the number of times and different ways scripture tells us don’t be afraid, don’t worry, fear not... But having even a small stockpile gives me comfort.
Great inspiration & organization; thank you! When we got our yearly side of beef, they had the boxes labelled so I left them in the boxes & we kept the label upright, put the box & all into the chest freezer & cut just the end flap off the box. I really had to organize my 2 little freezers to get the veggies & frozen apple sauce (from own trees) into them. I’m trying to dehydrate & can some things to save on freezer space. We just installed our wood stove & bought firewood in case of winter storm power outages. Here in colder Alberta, Canada, we have to prepare for higher utility bills even though we have natural gas heating (that requires power to run the furnace). Many blessings to your family 🤗❤️🇨🇦
Really appreciate your sensible and reasonable attitude, I agree that it’s best to trust God for the things we can’t control
Thank You for your message for me you have put ne back on track in my mind and soul. Being a widow, handicapped n no family around I became everything you talked about. I needed this on so many levels.
Thank You. Will be following from now on.
I'm so sorry to hear that. you're going through some hard things, life can be so difficult. Sending hugs!
I found you while looking for a way to organize my chest freezer, you are so sweet, down to earth and Christ centered, I am a christian not sure what the Mennonite faith believes exactly but loved what you said. Looking forward to checking out your other videos.
Thank you! I'm honored you are here!
I really enjoyed this video you're not boring I love the way you have everything organized I think it's good to have extra of everything especially if you run out of something boom there you go you have it in the pantry or in the freezer have a great weekend tell my little friend I said hi Lord bless you and your family your friend Kathy
Such a wonderful video! I love to see what you're storing and that you are so positive. Kind of like the virtuous woman in Proverbs who takes care of her family and household. Can't wait for the baby to arrive. I bet you can't wait either!
Some think of preparation for emergency , and other food stocking is excessive. But, as we look to God, for His leading, we have the opportunity to bless others. We live in a small space, but we shop for sales. We use our freezer like you do. We also have creative storage for the backup items. We rotate by purchase dates. So we just do it all on a small scale. God bless you all. Good vlog.
I love your scripture references! I have been freezing peanut butter for my family for years and it works wonderful. Be blessed and have a wonderful day.
That's good to know! Didn't know you could freeze it
Loved your scripture reminders 💕 And also your forgiving approach to stocking a pantry with homemade & store bought goods. Thank you for making this!
What a beautiful person you are inside and out. Thank you for that positive rant.
I love canning/freezing and all things food preserving! Glad for the ideas you shared!
This gives me a kick (a very needed one) to handle my own freezers. We have an upright, a small deep freeze, and our "old" fridge/ freezer... and our mini storage in our basement.
I know I'm going to get some grief, but use the dates as a guideline. People read over the fact of "best by" and think that somehow it just magically knows when to go bad. Of course there are things you want to watch, but we had frozen blackberries (home bagged) that were 7 years old and were kinda concerned so we very carefully tried them and the only reason we didn't use them in a recipe is because we hogged them down. In order to keep product moving you have to sell them. What is a better way to sell something than to get people thinking they need to replace something that's "outdated"?
Your organization is great and those baskets are amazing! I tried the bag system and it was a no go for us, but I think that was because bags (like the reusable grocery sacks) are not exactly stationary (oh how many times did the fall over😑) and so we gave up on them. My question is do they hold up pretty good? Are they super brittle? I've had some food storage that called themselves freezer and they cracked when you looked at them...or so it seemed.
Thank you for your sound words on Biblical preparation. So many times we look at our circumstances and jump to conclusions and, you nailed it, it hardly ever comes to pass. We Moms tend to definitely be overactive with our imaginations.
Excellent video, Jeanine!
This was very good. Ty Jeannine. I really enjoyed the tour. You gave me some ideas. I love how you gave scripture. Be blessed.
We don’t have the amount of storage space that you do, but when stores were closed for in-person shopping early on in the pandemic, it became clear very quickly that we had to make room somewhere and stocked up via online shopping. Since everyone else was doing the same thing, there were long waiting times for delivery and sometimes the stores’ websites were so overloaded that it was a challenge getting onto them to place a grocery order. Even when we were able to get into the websites, a lot of items were out of stock and we ended up either getting substituted items or nothing at all. Once we had a delivery that included only about 1/4 of what we had ordered! We learned our lesson the hard way, as did most people. As shopping restrictions have eased, I think that most of us have gone back to our usual ways for the most part. Thanks for the reminder!
I love it!!! That’s really smart to keep your home stocked up with the times where living in 🙏🏾❤️. It’s three is my home as well and I have 3 freezers! Blessing to you and your family 🙏🏾
Would you consider doing a video with some quick prepared dinners when company unexpectedly arrives? I would love to be able to have recipes and supplies on hand that make up into a nice meal. I’m not great about the hospitality thing either. Thank you.
I've been thinking of that... I first need to figure that out myself as I it's been on my to do list to get a collection of recipes just for that.
@@theMennoniteMom thank you so much. I think a lot of us would be interested.
I love this video! It’s always good to see Zander’s smiling face! (Did I spell his name correctly?) I love that this video was steeped in scripture. I know that’s not everyone’s thing, but I agree as Christ’s followers, we must stay true to the Word of God in all we do. I love your references, because in Bible Study Fellowship a few weeks ago, we studied the 10 bridesmaids. Matthew taught about the return of Christ in that chapter but being prepared for His return means obeying His Word. I pray in this busy season of preparing for your new little one that you are able to rest. You’re a beautiful, hardworking Momma so make sure you are taking care of yourself along the way. ❤️
Love your videos. You are such a positive person! Thanks for the encouraging words! God bless you and your family!
Mother inlaw taught me to use cereal and bread bags to pack meat for the freezer, can wrap in freezer paper after that. I found coffee bean bags are awesome for the freezer.
Just discovered your channel and love the common sense approach to stocking up with things you need and actually use. I am very limited on space right now. I currently live in a 600 sq. ft. apartment with a small closet for a pantry and I'm expecting a 5.0 cubic ft. chest freezer to be delivered today. Yay! I've been trying to figure out how to store things in the freezer so I don't have to go deep diving and digging to find what I need. The basket idea is great! Dollar store, here I come!
I'm not a huge fan of corned beef either, but always keep some on hand and wanted to share with you how I use it. My grandfather actually taught me this recipe back about 55 years ago. He prepared his in a cast iron Dutch Oven over an open fire and it was fabulous. Of course, he also used fresh, diced potatoes and vegetables, but I've since modernized the recipe. In a Dutch Oven or soup pot, break up 2 cans of corned beef, add in 2 large cans of mixed vegetables, 2 cans of tomato sauce, some beef broth, diced onions and bell peppers (if desired). At times, I add in a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes for extra flavor. You can also add in a little taco seasoning if you like. Just use whatever seasonings your family prefers. Simmer for about 30 minutes and serve. It's a very Keto-friendly meal too. II hope you give it a try.
Thanks for all the great information. I will be using it and following you in the future. God bless and stay safe and well.
You have given me some great ideas for storage in the freezer! Thank you!
Oh I needed to hear this today! Watching the news is so upsetting these days and it got me looking on RUclips about being more prepared with canned goods and supplies. I have come across more fearful videos going to bed even depressed and afraid but listening to you just gave me a calm. Thank you I am a new subscriber.
I’m Judy Bear’s mother in law. I really like your pantry shelves. So well organized. Your freezers look great!! Enjoy your videos. Zander is precious😘
Great video. I really like the fact that you stock up on basic items: with them, you can make anything. I have a small freezer and also use a vacuum sealer. It makes a huge difference in the storage life of food. I hate to throw away meat that has gone bad due to freezer burn. I also have a small basement supply of extras, like canned tomatoes, flour, etc. It is wonderful to go downstairs to my personal "store" when I need something.
I really enjoy your philosophy about preparedness. It makes so much sense to me and seems so practical. I appreciate your video.
Blessed to be able to see how you provide for family and home!
Thank you so much!! I have a nice sized pantry now and I was mentally putting things on my shopping list to get extras of. Also looking forward to having a good sized garden this year.
I just found your channel and loved it! 😍 My husband and I retired and sold our 5,000 sq.foot house and had a online estate auction and sold 40 years worth of all our belongings. We had finally made our dream a reality...with our new 42 ft fifth wheel we got on the road. 2 months in Covid hit..its been quite a journey to say the least! Your video reminded me of our lives living in a very beautiful but very rural area of Southern Indiana..so I was always making sure that we were well stocked. Just wanted to introduce myself..🙂
Welcome! Really honored to have you here! Sounds like you have many adventures ahead!
We have been praying for children so being prepared for the future has definitely become a priority
Great video! I am definitely going to get bins for my upright freezer and label them. Thanks for the idea.😊Have a blessed weekend 😇
You are such a great example! I'm currently cooking a variety of recipes in order to establish a steady rotation of meals that not only are healthy but that everyone enjoys and my hope is that from there, I can stock up on foods we actually use. We went thru a stage where my husband and I were spread so thin that I relied on the quick easy meals without much variety and it caused my son to become an increasingly picky eater. Major regrets! We've made progress though, PTL! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your content. Everytime I watch one of your videos, I always come away feeling inspired. The love of Jesus shines through you girl!! I'm here for it! 😊👌
Enjoyed your pantry tour. Thanks for sharing. Really love the idea of bins in the freezer for organization. Thanks so much!! Have a blessed weekend!!😃
Great video - there are only 2 of us but when you cook every day and have company alot, I agree, you go through a lot of food. I have 2 freezers, 2 refrigerators and 2 pantries. Can't wait to start gardening in the spring!
This was very informative and your son is so adorable. I live in Fayetteville, PA. I like to shop at Grocery Outlet & Aldi. Like you, I am a Christ follower. Blessings to you as you get ready to deliver a new precious baby!!
Well done!! We have created a storage pantry to for pretty much the same reasons. It's like having a little store in your house and so convenient. I enjoyed this video very much.
Loved your storage/freezer tour. You are a lot more organized than I am. Lol. Someday I'll put bins with labels. Yes, it's a balance of being prepared and trusting everything will be OK. One thing I learned was that it's a good idea to buy those plastic storage containers at Walmart for items that mice can get into (anything boxed, bags of rice, oatmeal, etc). I've had to throw food away because of little mice. Thank you for sharing your storage;).
That's a great tip! Thank you!
Loved the video, nothing wrong with being prepared!!
Love your video and ideas for organizing the chest freezers
You are well stocked! Can’t wait for your baby to arrive🥰
I needed to hear your words about anxiety. Thank you
Yes i agree with not letting fear & worry consume us. But we still have to do our part in feeding our families. I never panicked when shelves were empty in the store. My basement had lots of canned food. Have you ever tried canning hamburger? I fry it,season it & take off as much of the grease that I can. It is so handy for all kinds of things!
Great ideas Jeannine! You stock up on stuff I've never thought of but now I think I should. Thanks.
Great organizing tips for the freezer and pantry. And thank you for sharing of scriptures.
Great video, filled with lots of helpful tips and suggestions. I would love to can and prep more, but it’s difficult for a single person household with very limited space , to do. One thing I was able to do, is buy a new, bigger upright freezer. My previous one was much smaller, and not frost free 😩. But it was almost 35 years old when it finally gave up the ghost, so no complaints about that. Definitely got my money’s worth. Going forward, at next butchering, my sister and my niece and I will be sharing a cow. If my brother in law gets another deer, we’re going to share that as well. He aims for at least 2 per year, one to eat, and one to process and donate to our local food bank. If he gets a third, we share. I also have a chicken farmer nearby, and once his hens are ready in the spring, I’ll be stocking up on chicken, so the new, bigger freezer is going to be a great blessing. And with meat getting scarcer especially. I’d love to can some pickled beets…they’re my most favorite vegetable of all, and of course use the pickling broth for hard boiled eggs.
Thank you for your fun, encouraging and practical content!❤️
I love how you set up your freezers. The walmart containers are a wonderful solution. We are purchasing a new freezer and I have wanted the stand up because I hate having to dig through ice to find things.
Bless you. We forget how much pregnancy takes out of us. You're amazing mama.
Loved this! Got several good ideas for organizing my own freezer and pantry. Thanks!
Brilliant video, just found your channel and really enjoyed the practical advice, thank you so much xx
Thank you for the ideas! You are so organized! ❤️
I love the bins in your freezer. I have a refrigerator with a freezer drawer and can never find anything. We also raise steers for freezer beef. Our boys are mostly out of the house, but when they are home they want to eat. I used 4 lbs of ground beef last night for burritos. My husband and I also pack all of our lunches with our leftovers so I am still cooking more than most people.
Yes! Boys will eat you out of house and home! 😆 lol. Especially when they are teenagers and growing like weeds. Blessings to you and your family!
Such an interesting video! Reminds me growing up on Manitoulin Island in Canada. Everyone had a pantry like yours. And I so miss pot luck dinners! Thanks for posting.
I have been stocking up on laundry products, shower & hair care, household cleaning supplies too!
I’ve been trying to grab at least a few things as often as possible.
My next project is sorting the dry pantry and rotating stuff, so that I can know exactly what I have, what I need and what I can donate to the blessing boxes around our county. ie: things I over purchased and/or do not use. I need to go thru the household freezer and see what I have in the kitchen. Then, oh my heavens….the deep freeze. I made Jamie buy me an upright one due to my back and tearing my rotator cuff. It’s just a lot easier for me, plus I’m only 5’1” so anything more convenient the better.
We bought a 1/4 beef from one of his school buddies last Spring. Best beef ever!!!! So I need to make plans to get more 🥩 in the freezer. This year we will most likely purchase a beef from our daughter in loves parents. Good luck will all of your organizing! I’ll pay your flight ✈️ if you want to come to Oklahoma City and organize mine. 💁♀️
Great vid!, I could totally relate the reasoning of prep storage. I just bought a small chest freezer and sealer for just that. Love the bin hack to stack and will employ that method. Thanks again.
Great video. I’ve just moved and needed some ideas to organize my 5 freezers, cold cellar, pantries and long term storage so stuff doesn’t get buried. Even if I allocate each freezer to specific things it still happens. I love the idea of the bins. You have a new subscriber.
Oh no I need to Organize my pantry and kitchen thanks for all the good tips you're amazing.

I used to live in Reamstown PA, and then Holtwood in Lancaster County, I loved and miss my time there I have had Mennonite, and Amish neighbors I learned so much from all the people I cross paths with...I did my weekly shopping on this farm or that farm! And 1 family would yell me go down yo so and so's farm they have this or that and then would go to the discount groceries which I miss that shopping, but able to get Azure Standard so I can get alot of good food ...we are at 3.999/10, here in Central Florida ..At end of 2019 I realized I wanted to start upping my pantry game I need to organize the freezers..
Have you heard of Homestead Tessie raised Mennonite, and she is in Manheim PA, she has so many videos. I'm glad I found your site..lol I'm one now and I want to can alot and replenish the freezer but, it's amazing how much food we go thru in a whole years time..yes we have pot lucks every month...do you have a canning video using the frozen tomatoes for the tomato juice...that's a good idea with the wood pieces..I like being stocked for 2 years at least ,not there yet but alot of work ,but so worth it...parsnips and parsimony,, they are having their 9th baby anytime now ,they are in upstate NY.
she does trim healthy mama also..like your organization!!
