I decided to do something a little differently this year. I’m doing the challenge, however, I am taking what I would normally spend on groceries, and buying shelf stable food and taking it to the Blessing Box at the church. For those of you who are financially able, I’m hoping that you will join me in blessing others during this challenge.
2:33 I do keto on some days & switch to hormone feasting (adding nature's carbs) on others, depending on my cycle. I learned this from Dr. Mindy Pelz. Love 3 Rivers Homestead!
Yay! Lovely video Kelsey, well done for sticking to your current food diet, reward will come with your body feeling so much better for it. Awesome Tozer quote at the end, I do so enjoy reading the scriptures you end with, always an encourager ❤
Hey sweet friend! Thanks so much 🤗 I’m already feeling better, amazing what food can do! I’m glad you enjoy the quotes, I hope they bless all who read them. Blessings from PA 🤗❤️
@@seedandsparrowhomesteadso pleased to hear that, wonderful ❤ I am rewatching all your bread making videos, with regards to your oven temp may I ask if your oven is fan assisted or not, mine here in the UK is. Blessings x
My husband hates butternut squash, and my daughter isn’t a fan either. I love it, and the other day I thinly sliced one and layered it in a sort of casserole/lasagne in place of pasta (but I used sausage and carmelized onions, cream sauce made with goat cheese, sautéed kale and mushrooms- basically fall flavors) my husband LOVED it. You could also do a more traditional red sauce lasagne,. I’ve seen a lot of recipes for that. Or any type of casserole that would use sliced potatoes. Then it’s also a grain-free option you could enjoy along with your family.
The thing I love most about this pantry challenge is the creativity it produces. I try to only purchase fresh fruit that I can't grow, lactose free milk, and, of course, eggs from our local Amish friends. I do, however, subscribe to a home delivery organic meat company.
So I feel like I do this challenge every weekend as a newbie, but I cook a Meal on the weekends and deliver to my neighbors but I am shelf stable and only buy from my local farms and butchers and have all equipment to can, but no storage. My Basement floods in PA so I need to be careful. I love feeding my elderly neighbors on weekends and they blessed me with a beautiful self shot bird calendar this year as a Thank you. For me it's the little things.
Great ideas as usual. I love all the inspiration I get from your videos each week. Using jam as a Sweetner.... great idea! Looking forward to all you do during this pantry challenge. Tysm! Have a great week. 😊
Thank you for sharing this. The meal looked delicious and so did the ice cream! I’m not doing the pantry challenge per se, but I will enjoy inspiration to use up things in my pantry. Thanks for the ideas!
Great start to the challenge! I personally find that a reset...no matter the context....promotes health, wisdom & are oftentimes just necessary in life! ♥️ Happy New Year sister 🙏
Love your channel. I was watching the From Scratch farmhouse and she is a person who researches everything as do you. She mentioned she doesn’t use Redmond Real say due to the gritty texture. I was surprised but glad someone else had experienced what I did. She replied that the main reason was it contains lead. Just wanted to let you Know what she discovered.
The meals look delicious. As for your kitchen aide ice cream maker we have one too and mine lives in the freezer and soft serve is all it can do…so I just put the ice cream in a container once it’s done and freeze it just for a bit…I think it helps of the house is cold too when making it.❤
Thise waffle sandwiches ... whoa! They look delicious😋 Everything does, right down to the ice cream. I want to make some Sundae in a Jar when cherries 🍒 start coming in. I don't know how I missed seeing the recipe last year!
The waffle sandwiches are a good idea. There's been days I've wanted egg and and didn't have bread in the house and didn't feel like baking it. Great idea thanks
@@seedandsparrowhomestead Good grief! I thought I looked at it last night - must have been too tired - because THERE it is! THANK you. Looking forward to giving it a try.
We are trying the challenge but will still go to a farmer's market once every 2 weeks. Yesterday I made a big batch of gf pumpkin muffins. I grew the pumpkins last summer. When we want muffins I bake from scratch.
I love seeing how you make meals from your pantry! Also, did you freeze your ice cream after you churned it? Even if it didn't set, it still looks delicious!
I do not have a garden and only have canned jelly. Pluscwe live in an apartment. So I am doing the pantry challenge, using whats in my pantry and freeze from the store. As I usually buy large amounts when on sale, so buy doing the challenge with only store bought items, I can finally work at using foods before they expire. Last night I made shake and bake turkey breast. It was amazing. During the holidays I bought a large turkey, cut it up and now I have multiple meals. Tonight we will finish off the left over turkey. My plan is to dwindle down what I have, to make room for newer items. Plus I know meats go on sale, at certain times, so need the space for the next sale . And this challenge gives me the chance to reorganize mt 2 pantries and see what I bought but never really used, or what I need to stock up on more often. In the coming week I do have a few chicken carcasses, I am indeed of chicken broth. I made turkey broth around the holiday, it was so amazing. I can only freeze it. Don't have a pressure canner. Maybe someday. I look forward to seeing what you make from whats on your pantry. Which gives me ideas on what I can make too.
@seedandsparrowhomestead thank you for your kind words. You and I are kindred spirits. Oh, I forgot to mention that for the very first time our household will be doing the #pantrychallenge . Lovr how you used the spiced peaches... the syrup can be used as a sweetener in beverages (Adult or otherwise like tea) the whole family is on board. Thank you for giving me the nudge and valid reasoning behind F.I.F.O. rules. My house is at the stage where our kids are almost all adults.... I miss the " little stage ". Now don't you worry, I always find the silver lining and with that, I now have a reason to go through all the basement boxes. Purging what does not bring me happiness and save a few of the kids little clothes for their kids to wear... taking steps to make sure bugs and critters can't get into them. I am so proud of you and it gives me hope that I can be kinder to myself with personal challenges that come up. Between you, #BeckyAcreHomesteand #SandySheepishlyMe I feel understood, comforted and a sense of friendship. My faith of course comes first and brings me contentment and a sense of direction... but it is nice to have a coffee break with friends. Sorry for rambling, but something urged me to let you know of the good you bring into my family's life from your hard work in bringing your channel to the world. Thank you. On your days of needing a reminder why you keep doing this, just remember that I appreciate you and all you do. Hugs sweet (and sometimes spicy) friend, from your friend all the way from Esquimalt.

I was so excited to see you try the pickle wrap! It's one of my go to snack during the summer!
The kitchen looks so calm 😊
Thank you for taking us along - I always gain so much inspiration! ❤ xo

You truly make such unique and beautiful food. I’m sorry your health challenges don’t allow you to eat much of them. TFS your inspired food.
I enjoy watching the different ways that you can prepare basic foods. Creativity is showing up.
The possibilities are endless, I love that this challenge reminds me of that!
My husband is diabetic , I’m sure we can a will accomplish it, but it puts a bigger spin on the challenge , so now it’s a challenge of a challenge!!😊
I relish the quotes that you have, without fail, at the end of all your videos
I’m so glad! I hope they bless you ❤️
I love the end quotes too!

That sounds delicious!!! I just roasted butternut squash with other veggies. I definitely have too try that lasagna.

Yes and Amen to that! I’ve been feeling a reset is due in more areas than one and it’s so refreshing and exciting! Happy new year ❤️🤗

Thanks so much for telling me that! I did end up putting it in the freezer and it set perfectly. ❤️
Thise waffle sandwiches ... whoa! They look delicious😋 Everything does, right down to the ice cream.
I want to make some Sundae in a Jar when cherries 🍒 start coming in. I don't know how I missed seeing the recipe last year!
I was a tad jealous I didn’t get to eat them 😂 I did have a small taste of the sundae in a jar and it’s goooood! Thanks friend ❤️🤗
The waffle sandwiches are a good idea. There's been days I've wanted egg and and didn't have bread in the house and didn't feel like baking it. Great idea thanks
You are so welcome! Glad to help!
Wow, super ❤😊
Thank you! ☺️ ❤️
Looked very good. Its a lot of work trying to be healthy, and your kids don't even know what you are doing for them.
Thank you! It sure is, but so worth it! ❤️🤗
Did I miss where the muffin recipe came from? I have some fruit I could puree and use up as well! Thank you.
You can find it in the description ☺️ Enjoy!
@@seedandsparrowhomestead Good grief! I thought I looked at it last night - must have been too tired - because THERE it is! THANK you. Looking forward to giving it a try.

That’s great! So satisfying using what you’ve grown and baking from scratch!
Butternut squash, apples, brown sugar,butter,cinnamon,salt,nutmeg bake it it’s so good
Oh yum!
I’m doing the challenge too! It’s just my husband and I.😊
Awesome! ❤️❤️❤️
It's cold here in Pennsylvania so it's soup until further notice 😂
I feel that! It’s gonna be in the 20s all week and soup is on the menu!
You can make pumpkin bread with that squash
I may do that too! Yum!
Awesome meals and desserts! Val C
Thanks Val! ❤️
I love seeing how you make meals from your pantry! Also, did you freeze your ice cream after you churned it? Even if it didn't set, it still looks delicious!
Thanks! I sure did, it set up just fine after but the kids were too eager to wait!
Yummy
❤️❤️❤️

Why don't you make a sauce with spiced peaches either to marinate meat or to go with the meat
I should give that a go! Thank!
YUM! and you must be one of the most self disciplined people in the world!
Thanks! Far from it lol, but I want to feel good!
