Hey Asia. Great video ❤FYI on the flour, before you store your flour in the Mylar bags, make sure you put it in the freezer for 24 hours then let it dry, then store in the Mylar . This will kill any weevils and not destroy your flour. Great job on building your pantry ❤😊
I pressure canned chicken over the Christmas break... but didn't feel comfortable about it and ended up just freezing it. After looking at a number of videos, I think I may give it a go again.
Def give us an update on that hydroponic grow table, it's so cute. My grow stuff takes up a lot of space, stacking functions like that in the house would be awesome.
Check local churches to see if they have a monthly food pantry and clothing giveaway drive. A few churches in my area have a once a month Saturday food pantry and they have clothing that they give away. I agree with Sandra to save the meat to make a stew/soup! If not for you, then make a pot for a neighbor!
I made rice seasoning by dehydrating some herbs from my vety small, low producing garden.. I added other pre powdered herbs (i.e. garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, etc.)..... I feel do accomplished 💪🏾... I also plan to use it when I stew beans and in sauteed veggies, rtc When I first started gardening, I tried growing everything and quickly realized everything is not going to grow for me due to limited sun exposure, etc. Hence, i do what works and enjoy my micro harvests when I have them. 🌱💚
That sounds delicious and rewarding! Thanks for the comment. I’m going to give that a try. Totally agree! I’m happy you are making your space work for you!
Hi Asia. The remnants from the tallow makes EXCELLENT soups. I made the best lentil beef soup and chili that I've ever made. Try it. You will not be disappointed.
You inspired me to turn my backyard into a full garden my husband has built me some garden beds and everything is coming along have you done corn in grow bags? I had much success with that last year here in Virginia. As far as canning I absolutely love it I water bath everything I use to be an extreme couponer but now I stock my pantry with foods that we canned. make it make on RUclips has a beautiful soul I have learned alot from her. I also enjoy making soaps that can be another thing to try is to make soaps with lye it’s super easy and so much fun!! Also storing flour is great as well as storing rice! I enjoyed the video as always take care! And God bless.
O yay! I have not but now that you mention it, it’s worth a try! Happy to hear you have had success! Virginia has good weather for a good amount of time in a year for growing! I love Make It Make. I haven’t watched her in a while but I’ll go visit her soon. Thanks for the reminder. Thank you! Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed! God bless as well!
✅ a church for possible coat drive…Pick out the pieces of meat & use it in a beef stew/soup! On a snowy day, yum! Tallow…✅ out Ruthann’s Zimmerman’s posts, as well as Little Mountain Ranch in Canada.
Oh My Asia! Your subscribers are so sweet and informative. I came here to recommend that you check out the possibility of using an electric canner to ease you back into canning, and I got caught-up reading all of their comments! Some of my friends use and love their electric canners. They say it’s less stressful and doesn’t require much monitoring. RUclipsrs that use electric canners (and impress me) include Rose Red Homestead. She has decades of experience, she’s retired and devoted to her RUclips community. Another RUclips channel is “at home with Holly”. She is a single mother with excellent teaching skills, she’s laid back and I think you’d enjoy her personality and her homestead. I’ve said enough 😂. I hope others chime in with their positive experiences using an electric canner.
@@slhemp3556 I waterbath everything it’s a very simple way of canning just like our ancestors done back than, we must get back to the roots of things electric canners are very modern day style of canning and if the electricity goes out it’s practically useless, make it make has a wonderful channel on RUclips and she utilizes what she has and tackles the old school way of doing things.
Love seeing your smiling face! We have snow (2-3"), it's all melting. Got most of my plants that were worth saving in the house! Surprised at some vines and plants that seemed to survive - I covered all of them in leaf mulch:) Best wishes!😂❤ LGIT: Lib grandma in Texas 🎉 Coats can be donated to local homeless shelters!!
Take the coats to a homeless or battered woman’s shelter. We got snow here in ATL too and my garden is covered in snow & sleet. We will see how it turns out cause I didn’t cover a thing!!! LOL
I heard it snowed in ATL. I hope your garden makes it through. Lol I know how it is to not cover and hope for the best. It’s exactly what I’m doing lol.
Hey Asia you are right, you just gotta just do the pressure canning thing lol. It's gonna sound like the pot is going to take off like a rocket, but it's so worth it.
I may do micro greens using recycled plastic containers. Dollar Tree has micro green seeds.. but my local store hasn’t placed the seeds out yet. I have plenty of radish seeds and may use those for micro greens. My new AeroGarden hydroponic system is up and going, but I also did a couple of Kratky containers.. one using a coffee creamer container and one using a milk carton with coffee pods.
I'm happy to see a comment concerning hydroponics the old fashioned way. I'm planning to do the same this year and I'm excited! It's my first time🥬🤗🥬. I thought about setting up a small krakty system years ago; But I forgot. So now follow through, and stick to it, are becoming my closest friends. 😊 Thank you for sharing your comment.
Hi Asia donate all those things to the veterans. They give the items to people that need them. Have a blessed day . You can schedule a pick up date. They will come to your house and pick up the items. I love that about them. 😊
@reneesellers9708 This is a great idea! I’ve call AMVETS in the past and they picked up the bags from my front porch! The following is from an online source: “AMVETS. Call to schedule pick up of needed items. Membership in AMVETS is open to anyone who honorably served or is currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, including the National Guard and Reserves. AMVETS has made a long-term economic impact by providing assistance, jobs, and services to veterans and their communities for more nearly 80 years”.
I needed to hear your reluctance in canning because I have been the same way! I did pressure can for the first time turkey broth after Thanksgiving, but haven’t used the broth yet, because I’m scared 😂. I have frozen tomatoes that I have not used yet, but am determined to make sauce from them soon! 🌻💕
Just letting you know, Lewis Ginger Botanical Garden is offering a Mushroom Cultivation course on March 8 from 1pm-3pm. I am sure you will figure it before March. I need to check the fresh market by me to see if I can get some tallow.
I suggest you take them to the Salvation Army. They sale items but they also give away a lot of stuff. The goodwill is strictly for profit so I never give to them. I see others suggest donating to a church. I think you should try that first this way they definitely won’t be sold.
I ordered the grow bags from Boot Strap Farmer. I never heard of them until watching your videos. Did you reach out to them for a sponsorship? I'd love to grow my gardening videos. You have inspired me to start my seeds indoors again. Thank you!!
When i did my tallow, once cooled, the water gelled up with all the collagen, and something told me to use it in my hair....so maybe you also have a protein treatment/hair conditioner???
I sowed mine in the 7th they are showing white sprouts soon to be rooting with the first leaves soon. Can I winter sow too now I’m in 8b. I wanna try hydroponic. That one looks so nice and like you said functional
O yay! They should be seedlings soon! Do you have cold or cooler nights for the next few weeks? If so, I’d say yes. I’ve grown to love hydroponics. I think so too, really hoping it works well.
I’d like to order the bootstrap pots in the multicolor. But, the smallest number they offer in multicolor is 90. I don’t need 90! lol. I only have two raised beds……
Puritan Cleaners collect coats and give away to kids and people in need for free. Coat drives every year. Just drop off and tell them they are being donated.❤
YES, YES, please find a shelter or coat drive. Goodwill is overrun with donations, so whatever doesn't sell gets thrown away or sent overseas. I have found a domestic violance womens shelter to donate my clothes and household items so the women can start over. If we watch you, we trust you. So sponsored products are great, because they are good for you.
Totally agree with that option. I thought about a domestic violence shelter here today too. I plan to start donating there as I clean out closets. I can believe that too. Awww thank you! I appreciate that. I know some people are not fans of sponsorships, so I really appreciate that!
Hey Asia. Great video ❤FYI on the flour, before you store your flour in the Mylar bags, make sure you put it in the freezer for 24 hours then let it dry, then store in the Mylar . This will kill any weevils and not destroy your flour. Great job on building your pantry ❤😊
Thank you! Ok thank you for the tip! I’ll use this bag first and start doing this on my next purchase.
Watch Homestead Heart or Rosered Homestead for canning. They are great! That's how I learned and have been canning every since.
Asia I agree with you 100% on learning to can and building up your food supply just in case.
I pressure canned chicken over the Christmas break... but didn't feel comfortable about it and ended up just freezing it. After looking at a number of videos, I think I may give it a go again.

You guys are way ahead of us, here in SW Colorado, in the snow department. Very dry winter, so far. Crossing our fingers for a wet spring!
I made rice seasoning by dehydrating some herbs from my vety small, low producing garden.. I added other pre powdered herbs (i.e. garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, etc.)..... I feel do accomplished 💪🏾... I also plan to use it when I stew beans and in sauteed veggies, rtc

Hey 👋🏾! I’m gonna give it another try (more than one 🤣🤣) this year!
Heyyyy Asia! Enjoy your videos. If you still have your coats maybe see if there is a shelter nearby.
Really enjoy your videos. I was thinking of starting a garden, but I'm terrified of bugs, especially spiders.
Thank you! I can totally understand that. I feel that way about snakes.
Happy Saturday 👋😀

O ok that sounds like a good idea! O ok, I’ll check in at our Dollar Tree. They haven’t put seeds out just yet here. Thank you!!
Thanks for all the info

Good idea! I hate being cold 🥶
Great video 👍🏽
I need to work on starting a pantry myself
Thanks for sharing

My garden is under the snow too
Hi Asia. I'm working on my pantry too. I'm trying Azure standards to get my pantry stocked with trust worthy food.
Just letting you know, Lewis Ginger Botanical Garden is offering a Mushroom Cultivation course on March 8 from 1pm-3pm. I am sure you will figure it before March. I need to check the fresh market by me to see if I can get some tallow.
O yay! Ok thank you for letting me know. I’ll will go check that out. They were very nice and willing when I went!
I suggest you take them to the Salvation Army. They sale items but they also give away a lot of stuff. The goodwill is strictly for profit so I never give to them. I see others suggest donating to a church. I think you should try that first this way they definitely won’t be sold.
Hey Sis, the broccoli leaves are absolutely delicious too. Give them a try if you haven't.
Hey 👋🏾! I have tried them but wasn’t really a fan. A few people have said to mix them with collards so I’m going to give that a try too!
You don't need microgreen seeds. Seeds are seeds. Microgreen just means that they're harvested before they grow to a mature state.
Hey they have microgreen seeds at Dollar tree Now.😊
Thanks for the information.
I will look into it when I get a chance.
Hey! 👋🏾 ok I’ll check them out. They haven’t put our seeds out just yet.
I ordered the grow bags from Boot Strap Farmer. I never heard of them until watching your videos. Did you reach out to them for a sponsorship? I'd love to grow my gardening videos. You have inspired me to start my seeds indoors again. Thank you!!
Can you give them to the Homeless people's
I use beef tallow. It's the best.
100% agree!
You make me want to do extra stuff I need to do thanks for that 👍👍👍❤️
You’re welcome! Happy to help!
I would try crackling bread with that meat since it's not a lot.Or as someone suggested do stew with it.❤
Hey 👋🏾! I haven’t ever heard of that. I’ll have to look it up. Thank you for the suggestion!

@ girl it’s been snowing for the first time in idk how long
I saw a video that Dollar General has a micro greens kit for $1.25.
Thank you! A few people have commented about Dollar Tree. I plan to check next week. Our Dollar Tree hasn’t put seeds out yet 😩
I’d like to order the bootstrap pots in the multicolor. But, the smallest number they offer in multicolor is 90. I don’t need 90! lol. I only have two raised beds……
O ok. I’ll ask if there are options with smaller quantities. I know they have bundle options. I’ll mention what I found out in a video.
Hi, I'm Sidney. See if you all have a Woman Shelter there that will give those coats out for free.
Puritan Cleaners collect coats and give away to kids and people in need for free. Coat drives every year. Just drop off and tell them they are being donated.❤
Ahhh yes you are correct. I don’t watch regular tv much anymore so I hadn’t heard of they were doing one this year. Thank you for the comment!
🙏🏾💛💛💛🫂
YES, YES, please find a shelter or coat drive. Goodwill is overrun with donations, so whatever doesn't sell gets thrown away or sent overseas. I have found a domestic violance womens shelter to donate my clothes and household items so the women can start over.
If we watch you, we trust you. So sponsored products are great, because they are good for you.
Totally agree with that option. I thought about a domestic violence shelter here today too. I plan to start donating there as I clean out closets. I can believe that too.
Awww thank you! I appreciate that. I know some people are not fans of sponsorships, so I really appreciate that!
Dollar store are selling seed
YMCA and The Boys and Girls Club take coats and give them away free 🧥
Thank you! I just thought of a domestic violence shelter here after reading your comment. As I clean out closets I plan to take things there.
