I didn't know that about debris in Azure wheat berries and am so glad I saw this video before using mine. I have had it on hand for a very long time but haven't used it yet as I am working through flours first. Your style is almost exactly the same as mine. For once AI and the algorithm got it right in suggesting this video in my feed. I too love storing everything in clear glass and being able to see it. I also love using old wooden shelves. I'm fortunate to have my great grandmothers clear glass and wooden curio cabinet and an old wooden crate from the steel mill that my father worked at for decades in my kitchen. It was also refreshing to not see a "haul video", which is such a turn off to me but instead you thoughtfully highlighted some products and it was interesting and informative. Finally, this old lady wants to commend you, young lady, for the normal speaking voice that you speak with during the video especially at the beginning. Listening to you was like sitting in your kitchen as a family member or friend and it came across as warm, authentic and genuine. ❤ Subscribed ❤️
Oops after commenting I took a look at your home page and see haul videos. I hope that you are not offended by the previous comment. Just call me a grumpy old lady, it's my personal opinion that I just don't enjoy those type of videos.
You can get the plastic screw top lids and use a drill bit the same size as your straw to drill a hole in the top. Or maybe even a metal top? Just a thought!
Don't feel bad (grumpy or old LOL). I don't like the 'haul' videos people do either. I honestly can't stand grocery shopping myself so I figure why would I want to watch what other people bought😆? I usually skip those videos on most channels, altho I do like kelli's thrift store finds. To me, it feels like 'showing off', maybe. Like, "look what I can buy" type feeling. They make me squirm a bit. I also looked into Azure standard & I cannot for the life of me see the benefit. Maybe that is because the cost of living is drastically different in some places. EVERYTHING was way more expensive than I can get it locally & I only have one pickup point that is 'local' (over an hour away & the girl won't hold your items if you are late. sHe sends them back with the truck. Over an hour away would be bad enough, but I live in central NY, near Syracuse & the pick up point is all the way past Watertown -total snow country!!!) I don't mind some simple reviews of items, but I just can't stand watching people unpack & drone on & on about their purchases. And I don't consider myself old - 43. just not into showing off.
Your sunshiney pantry with all the warm wood elements just brings so much joy to my soul!! There's something about a good jar collection... 🥰 I love watching your Azure videos while filling my cart!
I haven't gotten any grains from Azure, mostly from Country life natural foods so far. I have never sorted, and I have been doing this for 30+ years. If I see a few things in there like weed seeds I will pick them out, but for the most part they have been pretty clean. I think I've had one small stone years ago. thank you for your encouraging videos.
I so enjoy seeing your assorted shelving and glass jars. The varying shapes and sizes along with the varying shelving choices, speaks to my soul. I need to do my own restock and organize. However, before I invest my time and energy into that project, I want to finish the new pantry area. I want to make the best use of the space and my time, and that’s not possible unless I finish the room and know exactly what I’m working with before taking on the task of restocking and organizing. I’m curious what method you use to get labels off jars. I have been working on getting a label off a honey jar from Azure for a week and it’s still not all the way clean. Thanks for sharing, and I’m sending warm fall 🍁 wishes from WA for a wonderful weekend! God Bless You Kelli!
Thank you Cheryl! When labels are tough to get off, usually lemon essential oil is the thing to get it off, along with my plastic lodge scraper that I use for my cast iron! And it was a lovely weekend thank you, I hope that you had a wonderful weekend as well and a great thanksgiving!
I have questions, once you have your fresh herbs of the plant then do you put them straight into the Mason jar or do you dehydrate them ? Do you not need to keep them in the fridge?
Amazon has the glass “beer mug” glasses with wood to go tops that work with glass straws. However…. The glasses themselves are not as sturdy or thick as a mason jar.
Are the glass straws tempered glass bc the way my family breaks stuff! I am stuck using plastic bc apparently I am allergic to something in the stainless steel straws and break out in a rash every time I use one.
What a nice relaxing tone to today’s video! I too, enjoy getting my pantry in order like this. I’ve been wondering about the Azure Chocolate Chips made with coconut sugar. I will likely give them a try now, after hearing your comments on them, as the regular are indeed sold out quite often. Enjoy a blessed day!
hahah yesss, that's it! And both, most of the mason/ball jars we bought when we did our first huge order from azure. A lot of the unique ones we're either thrifted or I got from auctions or they we're gifted to me!
You know, I don't really do meal planning. I like to have lots of ingredients on hand, that way I have freedom and flexibility to make what I need. So I have an idea in my head of what I will make in the next day or two depending on thawing meat and sprouting grains, but an actual written down meal plan has never worked for me.
I love all your jars of lovingly stored herbs and all ..While they look beautiful ..the will degrade faster light destroys food quickly..it wont be as fresh for as long than in a cool dark place..especially the big big jars of spices. But it sure is pretty!
Hi! The wooden scoops were a gift but they come from World Market. And the little teaspoons I got from south africa, and then some of the other little spoons are vintage grapefruit spoons. I hope that helps!
Hi Evelyn! Thank you so much, and yes I love the labels too, they are so clean feeling. It's the dymo label maker. I got mine from back in my amason buying days, but I know staples sells them (or they did) because that's where I've gotten the tape refill.The mason/ball jars I mostly bought new- some we're second hand. And the unique jars were either from auctions or gifted to me. And some jars are from azure foods that I've repurposed.
Have hubby drill a hole in a lid that is the same size as the straw. 😊

Thank you Kaetlyn!! I hope your wedding went amazing!!
Do you have a blog? I'd love to see photos of your pantry staples and how they are displayed. LOVE IT! Love what you are doing.❤

Love how you display all your dried herbs and other goods. Everything looks so beautiful.

I love the shelf that holds the individual mason jars!
I just found your channel and I love the look of your pantry! 💚💚💚
Thank you!!
You can drill a hole the size you need and put the little seals in on a regular mason jar lid and ring.
Drill an appropriate hole size in a flat canning lid, and keep it on the jar with a ring.
Pioneer woman has a mason jar drinking glass with handle, lid with hole😊Walmart has them, it’s a good size also❣️love Azure standard!
First time here and really enjoyed ❤
I'm so glad! God bless you!

I so enjoy your channel. I especially love videos like these. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful homemaking Kelli. Your herbs look so pretty and I love your country decor and warm tones in the home.
Thank you so much Lany!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much! And yes, baking with them, you would never know they are sweetened with coconut sugar!
I sort my wheat just like you do...from a white corelle bowl.
Oh that is hilarious! The SAME EXACT way, I love it!!
Love your ideas
Gamma lids😊. I love your glass jar pantry storage. Do you source new or thrift most of the jars?
hahah yesss, that's it! And both, most of the mason/ball jars we bought when we did our first huge order from azure. A lot of the unique ones we're either thrifted or I got from auctions or they we're gifted to me!
Do you have a video of your schedule / meal planning?
That is the biggest struggle for me right now

❤ I got the whisk too.

What type of diet/lifestyle Sony do for your food ?
Can you tell us more about azure?
I was able to order mason jar lids with wide straw holes on Amazon.
What is that beautiful green paint color you have behind your pantry?
I wish I knew to tell you! It was painted before we moved in!
Why not use stainless steal straws?
Hi Kelli. Curious about the spoons and/or scoops you were using. Where did you purchase them?
Enjoyed your video.
Hi! The wooden scoops were a gift but they come from World Market. And the little teaspoons I got from south africa, and then some of the other little spoons are vintage grapefruit spoons. I hope that helps!
Hi Kelli! Where do you get your glass jar and bottle labels?
I am currently working on relabeling my apothecary and I really like them!
Hi Evelyn! Thank you so much, and yes I love the labels too, they are so clean feeling. It's the dymo label maker. I got mine from back in my amason buying days, but I know staples sells them (or they did) because that's where I've gotten the tape refill.The mason/ball jars I mostly bought new- some we're second hand.

@@homewithkelli Awesome, thank you! Your videos are so encouraging I am so thankful that you are not afraid to talk about the hard stuff! ❤️
