This is one of the most beautifully organized pantries I've ever seen and that compliment is coming from a librarian. It would also be interesting to see what you're ordering from Azure Standard.
Hello there… New sub here and fellow TH-camr. I absolutely loved this video and have subscribed and I am going to watch some of your other videos during the next week. Love your fresh perspective and your enthusiasm and your positive attitude. Just wanted to say hello from New Jersey.
Cooking and canning the beans is a good idea. If you have a water shortage later you can still use them without having to waste precious water presoaking.
Portable Water is an issue throughout the world. There is a desalination process, but it's only bought out for usage during diasters in 3rd world countries. It is best to know water sources within your home and how to access it, utilize the liquid within canned goods to cook them then save for later meals. God does shower many with cool wet Blesses from above regularly. Learn to maximize that Blessing with Rain Barrels/Reserve Tanks above or below ground and soaker hoses in Fruit Bush Hedgerows, Fruit Trees and Edible landscape gardens. Be well and be Blessed.
I love seeing everything so organized, I get anxious when I see some pantry’s all jumbled. I really enjoyed part 1 and 2 thank you. We don’t have shortages yet and not much price increases but I know it’s coming. I would love to buy your Bosch and pay for shipping, my kitchen aid leaks oil when I make bread and I know the Bosch is a work horse from watching She’s in her apron.
Thank you, Pamela! What is your email address and your zip code? I will check on shipping and let you know beforehand in case it’s astronomical and you change your mind. ;)
The Bosch is awesome to have! Mine is 20 years old and still operates like a newbie and I paid $369 for her new. That was a lot of money back in 2001 though 😊
New sub. Love your calm voice and content! My take away was to shorten my supply chain! We homestead in rural Tennessee and the empty shelves are real here.
This is my first time on your channel. I do a lot of my canning in the winter because it helps to heat the house. Soups and stews mostly but also meats and potatoes. I went to Aldi today and they had 10 pound bags on clearance for $4.44 per bag aun
To simplify space on your shelves just stock Sugar. It can be Powdered with a high powered blender or made into Brown Sugar by adding Molasses back into it. Molasses lasts forever in glass jars. No more rock hard Brown Sugar or spilled leftover Powdered Sugar, because you can make just what you need at the time that you need it.
So organized! :-D It's beautiful! My kitchen isn't that organized... lol A note on pancake syrup: Years ago, my Mom would make syrup from sugar, water, and maple flavoring. It tasted great and didn't contain corn syrup like the pancake syrup. =) As for shortening, I don't think Crisco has an expiration! lol Canned meats: I love them for bbq sandwiches, beef and noodles, and chicken casserole type dishes. =) Yum! Thanks for sharing you pantry with us!
What a beautiful pantry! Your message to source locally is important. When more people learn to cook from scratch they'll discovee better health, less trash from packaging and more money in their wallet
I also saw a video where you can make candles out of crisco and a wick. Good to know in a pinch. My items are too scattered. I have them packed in boxes by date. I don't have shelving like you do. Take care.
We are having problems here in Scotland where we shop there is alot of facing up of products and prices are rising we buy our flour direct from the mill it works out cheaper than the stores Beautiful blessings 🏴💕
The charcoal storage containers look great, but since the description on Amazon doesn’t indicate they are food safe I would check into that before storing food in them. As of today they aren’t available on Amazon anyway. 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve mentioned in other videos that I never store food in those containers outside of their original packaging. I just put the entire bag of flour or rice into the container.
So wonderfully organized! How are those pantry shelves supported? They look like they’re floating! You can easily make “syrup” with just sugar, water, and maple extract. Super easy and super cheap, plus clears up shelf space for other things.
Thank you! We’ve done that before also. The shelves are floating. My husband created a heavily anchored frame and then wrapped the shelves in plywood. He hung from them when they were finished, to ensure they’re perfectly safe and sturdy.😁
That’s what we did growing up, made our own maple syrup. We had a special jar we used to store it in and last year I found the same jar in an antique store so I had to buy it.
The shortages really showed their dirty face today for me. I placed a pickup order at the local Walmart because hubby had to undergo a surgical procedure this morning and I knew that would be a quick and easy way to fill in the gaps from our last few weeks usage from our pantry…well out of 33 items I ordered I only got 17 of them! 50% of basic kitchen staples were not available. I’m glad hubby and I can grow lots of what we eat and know where to source elsewhere most anything else we really need to sustain ourselves.
This weekend meijer had turkey for .33 a pound. We picked up a couple to can the meat and make broth for soups. Wasn’t expecting such a deal but we couldn’t pass it up. First time watching your videos. You have a great pantry
Thank you for the tour! This gave me many ideas and a list of items to add to my grocery list. Can you tell me where you got the containers with the pull handle for your bread flour storage please? I definitely could use something like that for storage.
We have some shortage but a whole lot of higher prices like wow😯 Thanks for sharing your video with us I like your organized pantry you have it so very well kept. God bless us all and be safe ❤
I have a lot of pancake syrup in my pantry too. When I was a kid (1960's 70's) my Dad made sugar syrup and we added maple flavoring to it. We also used plain corn syrup. Not my favorite but you can add the flavoring. Corn syrup keeps forever
Juice from canned fruit can be heated with additional sugar for making syrups. If, I'm energetic I chop the fruit into bits and add to the syrup. In my house it's called Ritz Bitz Peach or Pear Syrup 😋
Love your pantry.❤️ I started prepping in March so I get anxious hoping I can get as much as possible on SS with the way prices are going up and shortages.
Great tips thanks, additives I avoid are sugars salts MSG and wheat products although your pancake mix is yummy with honey, stored salt/sugar for preserving foods mostly. Tons of lentil's chickpeas split peas rice bulk dry, then stock up on tons of fav spices.
I am seeing price increases in Aldi for sure on many products. I also have noticed shortages randomly like the past 2 months I went to Aldi there were NO canned peaches or mandarin oranges. And no elbow pasta this last trip. Eastern KY.
Our aldi has been out of random canned goods also. Tomato products and corn have been consistently low. I’ll have to check on pasta next time I’m there. Thanks for sharing!☀️
Hello! New subscriber. wondering where you purchased the row of bins you have on the floor, that keeps flour and beans? And how I many Gallons or lbs do they hold?ty
Is that pulled pork any good,loved this video, lots of shortages, varies week to week, and store specials are snapped up as soon as they are advertised, so people are getting savvy
As far as cooking oil’s if you have beef with lots of fat save the fat and render it down because that’s gonna save you some money and it’s going to add flavor to food and it’s healthier than some of the process stuff
Fat for Cooking Sources: Beef - Tallow & Ghee Pork - Leaf Lard & Lard Chicken - Schmaltz Geese - Old White Magic; the Two types are Brown (cooked fat drippings) and Blonde (Rendered Fat) All can be Canned for long term storage.
In SW Idaho things still look stocked. Prices are going up though. Just stocked up for 3 to 4 months on most things and ordered some beef that will be ready on 11/20.
We aren’t seeing as many shortages in the city as what I’m hearing is happening in more rural areas. Curious if that’s true of others or just what I am running into.
What I’m seeing is here is the opposite. The Sam’s in the city was out of a lot of products and when I drove 20 minutes away to a more rural Sam’s club, I was able to find what I needed. Our Walmart and aldi have been hit or miss as well. Our Walmart had a completely bare lunch meat section for almost a month. They’ve had some in stock recently but minimal quantities.
I'm from Australia, but that seems to be the case here. I have so many shortages and live rurally but people in the cities aren't seeing shortages at all.
That’s wonderful! It really works just like a stand mixer. You’ll use the lower setting when adding ingredients and the higher setting for kneading dough.
I am new to trying to make bread and I know the shelf life of flour is short. Can you recommend what kind of wheat berries to make white bread since I’m not a big fan of wheat bread. Any help guiding me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and I enjoy watching your videos.
I use “hard white” wheat berries. It produces a very mild, light colored bread. However, the recipe I use uses a combination of hard white wheat AND bread flour. If you put flour in the freezer for a few days to kill off any potential microscopic pests or eggs, it’ll last quite a long time (years) in your pantry in an air right container.
Great video-thanks for sharing. Do you freeze your rice I’m the bag it came in, then put it in the large charcoal bins? I’m really trying to understand this process. Thanks in advance for your response!
Thank you!☀️Yes, I stick the whole bag in the freezer for a few days then I let it come back to room temperature for a day or two before I put it in an air tight container.
Awesome video!!! Can you tell me how you calculate the amount of food to buy. We are a large family and i am trying to figure out a year worth of food etc. Thank you
Thank you! Watch my food storage for beginners video for how I calculate for my family. Granted, my calculations are for our “normal life,” not grid down, pioneer life. If we were to face a worst case scenario we’d be more heavily relying on the food we raise and produce on our homestead. I’m going to share the results of my food storage challenge in a video next week.
Have you ever tried pressure canning raw beans? Put 1 cup rinsed beans in quart jar, 1 t salt, and fill jar with water. Pressure can at 10# pressure for 90 minutes. Have fun.
I put all of my grains in the freezer for a few days when I first get them to kill any potential microscopic bugs or eggs and then I store them in air tight containers.
@@Pursuit.of.Simplicity 🙋🏾♀️ Thanks so much for replying. I went to Costco & BJ's today and really stocked up big time! I just went downstairs to my basement freezer & put all my grains, flours etc...in there. Thanks!❤️
Oh yes, I’m aware. The Crisco is more of an “in case of emergency” situation. We have a LOT of olive oil, butter, and are starting to stock up on shelf-stable lard.
I actually bought some last week at the grocery store! It has some questionable ingredients so I’m going to try to get some from a local butcher and render it myself…after the holidays.😁☀️
VERY NICE. BUT YOU DO KNOW THAT CRISCO SHORTENING , AND PROBABLY STORE BRANDS.. ARE 3 MOLECULES AWAY FROM PLASTIC? SEEMS KIND OF USELESS TO USE IT WITH ORGANIC GRAINS TO MAKE BREAD. I USE LARD, A BI PRODUCT OF PORK, OR BUTTER, A BY PRODUCT OF COWS..
Yes, I’m aware. I don’t use it. It would be a worst case scenario-like, “use the crisco to make soft bread or your family goes hungry!”😁I also have lots of coconut oil and olive oil. We’re planning to raise pigs next year so we will definitely render the lard.

Your statement is TECHNICALLY true but yet entirely misleading. It is obvious that you don't know enough about chemistry to understand that being 3 or 2 or even just 1 molecule(s) away from plastic doesn't really mean anything. Yet you are more than willing to spread the rumor! Is Crisco (or for the same reason - margarine) almost plastic? A simple YES or NO doesn't work because chemically speaking, yes, they are almost plastic as they have all of the same molecules as plastic, except for 1/2/3. Bumper is that this isn’t how organic compounds work. Like literally everything, Crisco (or margarines) are formed by molecules. Since everything is made of molecules, the molecular structure of certain things may look similar, however, that doesn’t mean the end outcome is the same. For instance, all species or all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain DNA, a molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to develop, live and reproduce. Yet, while all humans have this molecule, we are all different from one another let alone how much we differ from other species! How and when these molecules bond together impacts what kind of product is made at the end. Even though they have similar molecules, Crisco and plastic are far from similar. Just one different molecule is very important not just for cases like Crisco/margarine and plastic but also for things like ethanol and methanol - one is safe to consume and the other could be fatal. Basic knowledge of molecular compounds and bonds disproves the claim that Crisco is almost plastic.

You can also use that Crisco for an emergency candle.
This is one of the most beautifully organized pantries I've ever seen and that compliment is coming from a librarian. It would also be interesting to see what you're ordering from Azure Standard.
Thank you!😁I only buy my grains from Azure. Everything else I buy locally because it’s significantly cheaper.
I like the idea of shortening the supply chain!
Wonderful pantry! It’s so reassuring to know that you’re all stocked up for the coming months.
Thank you!☀️

Hi Lynn! Nice to “meet” you!☀️
Cooking and canning the beans is a good idea. If you have a water shortage later you can still use them without having to waste precious water presoaking.
I didn’t even think about water issue, but you’re definitely right. My mind is usually focused on convenience.😁
Portable Water is an issue throughout the world. There is a desalination process, but it's only bought out for usage during diasters in 3rd world countries.
It is best to know water sources within your home and how to access it, utilize the liquid within canned goods to cook them then save for later meals.

Thanks for the information 👍
I assure you that the Crisco will last much longer that the sell by date. Keep going! You are making a good videos.
I have heard that as well. I also read if you move it to a glass jar and vacuum seal it it can last a even longer.
You can also stick a wick in it and burn for light. Good use if gone bad.
CRISCO IS GOOD FOR CANDLES. YOU KNOW ITS 3 MOLECULES AWAY FROM PLASTIC.

Hello! New subscriber. wondering where you purchased the row of bins you have on the floor, that keeps flour and beans? And how I many Gallons or lbs do they hold?ty
They’re charcoal bins from Amazon. I linked them in the description below.
They hold 25 lbs bags of flour and rice easily.
Thank you so much! Great video!
How do you prevent I think they’re called weavels little bugs that get in rice and meal and other dry food products?
I do exactly what Diann said-I put the bag in the freezer for 2-3 days before sticking it in the pantry in air right containers.

Supplies look fine here in nw wisc.
That’s good to hear!
I'm new to canning. I noticed that your jars don't have bands on the lids. So, the bands aren't necessary? ( I only can dry foods)
About 24 hours after pressure canning you remove the rings/bands before storing the jars. This helps prevent a false seal. ☺️
Oh me too I use pancake syrup...maple here in India is so expensive...or honey n butter...how we love our pancakes...we do them eggless though...
You definitely can’t go wrong with honey and butter! ☀️
Where are the cans of stew or more meat? If we get to where you can’t cook you need meals in cans to at least have a cold protein meal!
We have 20 chickens.
@@Pursuit.of.Simplicity But if you can’t cook them? Even if you can cook them how long will 20 last if our whole system is down?
We would survive just fine without meat but we have multiple options for cooking without electricity.
The eggs would be of more value to us than the meat of 20 laying hens.
I’m not sure how long Crisco lasts but I can tell you the Crisco butter sticks will go rancid.
I’ve heard that too.
I go through that much creamer also no shame here.

I put all of my grains in the freezer for a few days when I first get them to kill any potential microscopic bugs or eggs and then I store them in air tight containers.
@@Pursuit.of.Simplicity 🙋🏾♀️ Thanks so much for replying. I went to Costco & BJ's today and really stocked up big time! I just went downstairs to my basement freezer & put all my grains, flours etc...in there. Thanks!❤️
Where did you get your floor bins?
Amazon. Sometimes they’re listed as charcoal bins.
@@Pursuit.of.Simplicity thank you for responding.
what about water? do you have a supply or something?
We have water on our property as well as a Berkey filtration system.
👍
That crisco an any vegey oil should not be used in your food look it up .
Oh yes, I’m aware. The Crisco is more of an “in case of emergency” situation. We have a LOT of olive oil, butter, and are starting to stock up on shelf-stable lard.
Graham crackers with peanut butter? Try it with butter instead. It's good. 😃
Ooooh we love butter in this house! But peanut butter is far easier to store in bulk so I’ve been trying to ration our butter a little more wisely.😁
get some lard, it doesn't expire.
I actually bought some last week at the grocery store! It has some questionable ingredients so I’m going to try to get some from a local butcher and render it myself…after the holidays.😁☀️
VERY NICE. BUT YOU DO KNOW THAT CRISCO SHORTENING , AND PROBABLY STORE BRANDS.. ARE 3 MOLECULES AWAY FROM PLASTIC? SEEMS KIND OF USELESS TO USE IT WITH ORGANIC GRAINS TO MAKE BREAD. I USE LARD, A BI PRODUCT OF PORK, OR BUTTER, A BY PRODUCT OF COWS..
Yes, I’m aware. I don’t use it. It would be a worst case scenario-like, “use the crisco to make soft bread or your family goes hungry!”😁I also have lots of coconut oil and olive oil. We’re planning to raise pigs next year so we will definitely render the lard.

Your statement is TECHNICALLY true but yet entirely misleading. It is obvious that you don't know enough about chemistry to understand that being 3 or 2 or even just 1 molecule(s) away from plastic doesn't really mean anything. Yet you are more than willing to spread the rumor!
Is Crisco (or for the same reason - margarine) almost plastic?
A simple YES or NO doesn't work because chemically speaking, yes, they are almost plastic as they have all of the same molecules as plastic, except for 1/2/3. Bumper is that this isn’t how organic compounds work. Like literally everything, Crisco (or margarines) are formed by molecules. Since everything is made of molecules, the molecular structure of certain things may look similar, however, that doesn’t mean the end outcome is the same. For instance, all species or all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain DNA, a molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to develop, live and reproduce. Yet, while all humans have this molecule, we are all different from one another let alone how much we differ from other species!
How and when these molecules bond together impacts what kind of product is made at the end. Even though they have similar molecules, Crisco and plastic are far from similar. Just one different molecule is very important not just for cases like Crisco/margarine and plastic but also for things like ethanol and methanol - one is safe to consume and the other could be fatal. Basic knowledge of molecular compounds and bonds disproves the claim that Crisco is almost plastic.
Girl. You can save 11.25 by buying the 25lb bag....just fyi
25 lbs of what?😁
