Tessie, please don't block the vents in your freezer above the refrigerator.. That will eventually stop the fridge and freezer from working. You need to keep the vent free of anything so that the air can circulate. I am so happy that you have a fully functioning home now. Take your time and you will eventually finish all the projects that you set out to do.
Yep, noticed that. At best it won't work as well, at worst it's gonna blow the whole thing.
Very true!👍
Yes, I learned, and my dad learned this lesson the hard way. We replaced our 30 year old deep freezer late last year . I am buying a few extra items each time I go to the store.
A few years ago I cover the vent in the freezer and didn't realize. The fridge stopped working and then the freezer. Maintenance came and moved our food around and all worked well. Lesson learned 😂
Yes, the vents must be clear to vent.
Hello Tessie 🌻
So frustrating when appliances these days just don’t last. . My fridge from 1984 is still going and my freezer from 1955 is still working just fine !
I have a 25 year old Kenmore that I kept as a second refrigerator when I got a new one. That new one died, the second one to replace it died, but the Kenmore in a garage with all that heat still works great 😂
Appliances and cell phones are made to last a short time.
Recently replace a dryer. 8 years old. My first one from 1977 lasted over 20 years with 2 kids.
I agree the old units last much longer. The new freon is worthless.
Hello Everyone Welcome To Tessie's Channel :-)
@@owen4248 Hello Owen
Well there you are everybody was wondering good to see you again my brother
@@MichaelR58 Hello Michael 58 :-)
Hello Owen 🤚
Hi Owen 😊
Great video as always ❤ blessings to you and all who watch this channel 🥰🌻🙏
The broth looked amazing ❤
Girl, you are one hard worker. I enjoy watching others cook so seeing you can the broth was relaxing. Thank you for coming onto our homes once again to visit. Sweet dreams tonight. 😊
Hello Joanne😊,
Hope All Is Well,
GOD Bless, Andrea
@pr9764 All is well Andrea. Have a restful evening . God bless. ⚘️
I agree with the canning more then freezing, but part of our preps we check the freezer daily to make sure it's till working properly, we too have been victims of a freezer going out and not finding out about till it was too late, so now daily checks!!
I completely agree I prefer canned instead of freezing..love binge watching your videos ❤
Tessie you have a lot of hard work ahead of you.pace yourself girl 👍🥰😉
Thank you so much
I love the little animated characters you add to your videos. They are so sweet, like a fairy tale. You got lots done. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful video. Have a blessed day friend
Girl you are going to be a busy lady. I put up 40 quarts of fresh peas in my freezer in the last month and I’m actually cooking some tonight. I’m so excited I love fresh vegetables
I agree that canning is superior to freezing.
I love my freezers
Oh how I understand . About 3 wks ago are small freezer quit and we didn't know for a couple days. Lost about 500.00 of food. Most was our garden items from last year and all my fruit. I put off making jam. I have started canning some meat in our second freezer. Pray that doesn't happen again.
Have a good evening.
Don't block the vent in your freeze above your refrigerator. Your freezer won't work because it needs to circulate cold air. Can't wait to see what you will be canning.
I always watch my electric but since my daughter moved in that stoped. When I say anything she says I am not worried about it I will pay for it. So as long as she payes the bill I will be ok with it.
I totally agree with you regarding the freezer situation! I got an email saying something about all or most of Montaña possible losing power. I can't find the email but I googled and 1000s are without from a storm apparently. Also, a lot of the West coast is on fire! I have friends and family in Washington, Oregon, and California and it is defiantly wild fire season!
I have an electric canner and I haven't used it yet! Looking forward to!
So smart! I am also downsizing my 7 cubic foot upright freezer and am going to try my hand at canning so I can save money and better preserve food.
I love your intro and music, magical
Thank you so much I'm really excited about sharing a whole new way of filming and I'm so thankful that you seen it and that you enjoy it there will be more videos to come
Hope your Sunday has been good! Thank you for sharing. Fod bless you and our friends here. 😊❤
Happy Sunday Tessie , good job , have a wonderful evening, thanks for sharing YAH bless you sister !

🐯Your going to be really busy with all your canning.Take some time for yourself this week 🐯
Hello Tessie ❤happy Sunday 😊
Hello and happy Sunday Forever Lovely
@@marybethsmith6458 thank you 😊❤️
Happy Sunday Forever Lovely 😊
Hi foreverlovely 😊
Good morning! This was an excellent tutorial, Tessie. I've been thinking about the very thing you mentioned-having more items canned than frozen, just in case. It does give a tremendous sense of security to know the food won't spoil or be wasted should the power go out for any reason. 😊
Thank you Tessie for sharing!❤
I'm going to be doing the same thing. Ever since I had that issue with my old apartment, I don't trust the refrigerator freezers anymore. So I'm going to be Canning up whatever I can in the freezer as well. And I will probably be only keeping very little items in the freezer. I'd rather have it canned and preserved than possibly. Thawing out and losing it all like it did at the old place when somebody turned my cooling system off on my refrigerator and freezer. And I lost everything in there.
I've emptied my fridge freezer and dehydrated all that I could. I only keep foods in it that I know I will eat right away. I dont know how to can so drying is my best way to prep. Love ya Tessie. God bless you and yours
It will be nice to have all that broth to make soup in the winter. You will be busy but it will be a good busy. It would be scary to loose everything in your freezer. Have a great evening everyone!
Hope You have A Great Evening Too Julie 😊,
GOD Bless, Andrea
Great job Tessie, thanks I’m doing the same thing ❤from 🇨🇦
A new freezer takes very little electricity. When we removed old freezer, electricity was 50$ less a month. With new freezer no change, still 50$ less. Not sure how old your freezer is, but old ones sucks up the electricity. Chest freezers more efficient
Happy Sunday Tessie ❤
Good evening Tessie! Have a blessed night!
Thanks for sharing Tessie you sure are gonna be busy with your canning take care ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow, you really worked hard today! But you got alot done. I too will have alot to can if 1 of my freezers go out. I worry bc power blinks on and off here alot! I canned 7 quarts of potatoes, alot I dehydrated also. Canned 4 quarts brisket . Canning spiced pears later this week. The next 3 days we have Griw Camp at church in place of vbs. The kids like it alot better! 11 kids went to church camp this past week and there were 6 saved! So 6 baptisms next Sunday!! Have a blessed evening ❤❤😊😊
It looks great. You are such a hard worker. Things are coming together for you so well.
Hi Tessie!! I agree with you about canning!! I had a fridge/freezer go out & I lost to much food!! Love seeing all of your beautiful dried flowers!! Your chicken & chicken broth looked delicious!! Take care ❤😊
Thanks Tess
Your home is so cozy🥰
Set the alarm today💝💝💝💝
Tessie, That is a lot of work there good to clean out the freezer too need to clean out my freezer too :-) Love you my Sister :-) God bless You and Ken :-)
Tessie, the chicken broth and chicen with carrots looked delicious. 😊
Glad you were able to conquer and overcome the freezer issue, great way of solving the issue 👏👏👏
oh my you got a lot done today. your broth looks nice and rich. I agree can goods a must in our home for back up. Thanks Tessie .
Hello Tessie- Thanks for this video. You have reminded me to start canning again, especially this fall. I want to can some chicken and some beef chunks. So handy. We have lost power quite a lot this year. So far our generator has kept up with it to maintain our two freezers. I would like to use the small chest freezer to store make ahead meals and breads only.
I really should do that to the meat in my freezers because the newer one is over five years old and the new ones don't last long now.
Our apartment building has insufficient electricity coming in So the lights blink constantly. Ahhhh..😜
You are such a worker ❤
I need to learn how to can my foods.
Good Morning Tessie, Sisters, Brothers, and Friends, Wish you all a wonderful blessed Monday Filled with Gods Joy and Happiness :-) Remember to pray for one another and for all around the world :-) God Bless You ! Love you all :-) Keep Smiling be safe :-)
Good idea 💡 ❤ Shalom to everyone and good night. 🌟🕯🌟
Great idea
I’m keeping less and less frozen food, too. With all these power outages, you just never know. I think canning in the pantry is the way to go. 🫙🫙🫙
A bit late tonight back from the beach :-)
Tessie, do you Water Bath your foods? I don’t trust freezers especially with power outages, you’re smart to can! 🙏❤️
I pressure can low acid foods and water bath the high ones
What pressure canner do you recommend? There are so many and I've never used a pressure canner so not sure what I should purchase. Thank you
Had you considered putting the freezer in the ground and transforming into a root cellar?
Enjoyed this video!😊
Hi tessie . Nothing is better than homemade stock❤
Yes Tessie I too have eliminated my Frozen stuff and went to canning specially this year I've lost power in my house more times since the beginning of the year then what I have last 33 years of me living in my house just because of this reason
Nice video and reminder to clean out my freezers
Be cautious loading the freezer don't cover the vents the freezer will overwork, which takes more electricity and will shorten the life of your fridge of the freezer or break it.
That's the best way to make chicken soup. Simmer them bones😊
Good morning pretty lady ♥
Good idea. "Provident Prepper" has a very informative u tube video on burying old freezers for food storage.
Hi y’all😊
Hi tami 😊
Hi Tami 😊
Hi Tami :-)
Hi There Tami 😊
It's smart to can up all that food.
I love canning. 💕
Is there a reason why you didn't can the cooked chicken? Sure looked delicious. Very sorry about your freezer.
I needed it for some meals I had to make ,
Hi Tessie! I'm canning all week too. I sent you an email about the eyeliner I use. ❤❤❤
Have you considered burying that freezer in the yard as a root cellar for your winter veggies?? Surround it with straw for insulation from the cold. Maybe in the future you could just get 1medium size chest freezer and eliminate the upright freezers......chest freezers are more cold efficient because it does not lose the cold everytime you open the door, and it keeps things cold longer in case of a power outage. Just a thought. But the drawback to them are, you have to rotate your food so things don't get lost on the bottom, but you do that anyway! 😊❤
Have unplugged freeze and anything that had power cost to much to run .
Hello Tessie. Your video is inspiring me to go home and clean out my freezers. Will you use special containers for freezing your chicken with liquid? Have a wonderful day.
You are covering up the vents in the Freezer. Those need to be open so the cold air can flow easily. Never over pack a Freezer.
Who Loves Tessie Time :-)
@@owen4248 I do 💞
Always ❤
Good evening Tessie and friends ❤many blessings ! Tessie did you pressure can the broth after you put it into
Jars ?
Yes !
Hi everyone 😊
Hello Linda😊,
Hope That Your Day Went Well My Friend,
GOD Bless, Andrea
@@pr9764 hi Andrea, hope all is well with you!
Have a good day today my friend 🙂
@@lindah629 Hi There Linda😊,
My Husband Is Still Recovering After His Callapse, But Atleast He Is Home.
GOD Bless, Andrea
If you and hubby applied the same time into full time jobs you could live like every one else . Wow😮
We both do have full time jobs :) Welcome to my channel !
Fridge is enough we dont need deep freezers
❤❤
Please show more "you doing stuff" type videos, rather than "talking head" types. Even though you say you've done so many repeated videos of you doing things like canning, crafting, gardening, it's inspiring to watch and encourages me and others to do those types of things. It's like watching cooking videos. We all know how to cook, but through watching others, it can help motivate and inspire me when I don't particularly want to cook. Keep showing those videos of your daily tasks
There will be no talking videos on this channel every video will be doing stuff i've moved my talking videos to another channel
I recently pressure canned up a bunch of meat from freezer. I'm thinking about if we loose power. Still have some to ....been so hot this summer!
I'm guessing your next job will be cleaning around the fridge handles and the rubber seals! Work never ends . . .
You could can the chicken too if you wanted to.
Hi Tessie
Happy Sunday to you Marybeth ❤
Hi There Marybeth 😊,
Hope All Is Well!
Blessings, Andrea
@@pr9764 Yes all is good here. Nice day to sit on the porch but I'm going to have to go inside because its starting to get dark. Hope things are getting better for you. How is your husband?
Thank You For Asking Marybeth-- I Really Appreciate It My Friend 😊,
My Husband Is Very Exhausted, But He Is Getting There Slowly Praise GOD.
Yes, You Need To Get Inside Now-- Watch Out For The Bears!

Tessie, do you have yo worry about temperature mainly your storage room getting hot in the summer. Our storage pantry (room), is cold in the winter and hot in the summer.
No Not at all ,Been doing this for 14 years and never a Issue :)
Tessie I've always wondered why you didn't inherit your parents home?
Well I'm one of four siblings and I could have bought the home if I wanted to but I didn't want to live there my brother then bought the home
Is there a reason why you don't can your chicken too?
I had to make a lot of meals for family this week so I kept the chicken out
First???❤❤❤
Tessie, I'm puzzled with you comment that you limit your electricity (even with all the new electrical work) because the wires might overheat and burn the home. That doesn't make much sense to me. Meanwhile, it makes good sense to can instead of just freezing!
Just my ocd :) As I said on video ..I am limiting my usage to try to save on the bill .
We now have a electric hot water heater which takes a lot of energy
@@HomesteadTessie I understand that. We monitor our usage every day with the fantastic electric company app. I've even gotten up in the night to put a load in the washer, etc. We have an old mobile home and only electricity--no gas line access.
I see why Bible tells us not to store hete in heaven
Where's Owen tonight?
I was wondering that too.
@@marybethsmith6458 was wondering myself 🤔
Hi Marybeth Smith , I am here now a bit late :-)
I hope all is well with Owen.
@@juliewebber2749 Hi Julie Webber , just a bit late tonight caught in traffic coming home from the beach :-)
Tessie, did you partner with someone on Facebook to sell jars or are they pirating your videos?
oh my goodness I have no idea what you're talking about so somebody must have been stealing my videos what company was it
