So if you're looking for a cheap and mostly organic grocery haul, or if you are going to Costco soon, feel free to share with a friend and enjoy this video!

    Lovely job! I think your chicken stock is fine. Protein items have a way of looking weird (i.e. ugly chicken), but if it really bugs you, just strain it through a sieve before using. That onion jam looks amazing.

    The first year I did the pantry challenge, which was years ago, I didn’t buy anything for the 2 months. I learned so much about where my gaps were in what I stocked. I learned to substitute what I ran out of. Was it always fun, no however I sure wouldn’t trade what I learned for anything. I feel really good that for any reason if I would not be able to go to the grocery store or if we had a job loss, we could easily go a year without any issues. I even learned how to make my own oat milk.

      VERY different than I was expecting! I will definitely do more experimenting, but I don't know that I would make bagels using 100% hard white wheat again... the flavor was amazing, but when I was eating my bagels, I didn't feel like I was eating a bagel. I did just swap out all purpose flour for the fresh milled flour in my favorite bagel recipe, so that may have been my first downfall. I'm excited to try other things for sure! Do you have any recommendations?!

It's one thing to get 1000 subscribers, but then the other part of the requirements is to have 4000 watch hours. I get the highs and lows feelings too. However, my hobby is editing the videos and putting them together. That's my passion. I think that's why I've held on this long to uploading. Good luck to you and your channel. :)

    I watched the whole thing 😌and I subbed. Looking forward to baking and gardening with you. I also have a new channel. Started around 5 months ago. My journey has been much much different though. I hope this doesn't discourage you or anyone else .. I got monetized in 4 weeks, and I currently have ~13k subs. This endeavor does require some forethought, and a thick skin at times. I post consistently, and I listen to my viewers. If there's anything I'm convinced of , its this: Make sure your content has one thing that can't be found in other videos. This could be your personality, this could be your style, this could be your editing methods. There has to be something Different. I happen to have a very particular art style and teaching style that is appealing to a good number of people, and its working for me. You can do this! I hope for the best for you. 🧡💜💙💜🧡

    You have a great personality for content creation, and your ability to keep it real is definitely admirable. If I were you I would focus on everything you are still doing but work on the hook and get straight into business people don’t have the attention span to hear a whole background on everything. Put the background into the middle while doing something. How to videos are huge, a lot of people want to know how to Can and live naturally. You’ll get it eventually, keep it up!

    Don't give up. I have watched some of your videos and I was subscribed I thought. I checked and saw that it was one that had been unsubscribed like some that I used to be subscribed to that I went back to watch another video and saw that yt unsubscribed me. I have had my channel for a while but I don't know what I'm doing and I don't know how to edit. So as I have gotten busy with work so I hadn't had a chance to make enough videos to share. I can't afford certain things that other channels use to make good videos. I'm planning my wedding and trying to earn enough to save for that and my business has completely changed so I have to work out my new prices to keep up with inflation and expenses being too expensive. I have so much to do so I got overwhelmed and wasn't ready to make more videos. I'm going to keep trying and learn how to do UA-cam.
