We jumped into the pantry challenge this week with great gusto. Over Christmas, I received a bag of birthday cake granola and didn’t have a clue what to do with it as it doesn’t sound like something I would just eat out of a bowl with milk. Yesterday I threw it in my food processor added five tablespoons of melted butter, pressed it into a pie pan as a crust. I love the creative aspect of the pantry challenge.
Brilliant!
I’ve used granola as a fruit crisp topping as well. I like the idea of a pie crust.
Good idea!
Thank you for sharing your journey. I’ve been watching others participate in this challenge for a couple of years, but never jumped in. This year, god put on my heart that I could be a better steward of our resources. My version of the challenge is a little different, but it is meaningful for my family. We have freezers full of meat, a fully stocked pantry of dry and canned goods, and I was still mindlessly buying large amounts of groceries every week. With your inspiration, I took a thorough inventory, am intentionally planning meals around making the best use of what we have, and learning to replace grocery store items with far healthier homemade versions. I now make all of our breads, rolls, bagels and other baked goods, and am planning to begin yogurt and mayonnaise this month. All those beef bones are finally turning into bone broth, and I’m getting the lard rendered and using it. I’ve reduced our weekly grocery budget by 75%, and am committed to this over the long term. Accounting for our yearly meat purchases, Azure order, and bulk household stock up, we are still down over 25% for the year. I just wanted to say thank you for helping set perspective on how important it is to be intentional in the use of what we have, and continue to build our skills to nourish our families. Blessings to you and yours.

This sounds like our exact situation. I plan to inventory soon! I have had grand plans, but my 7month old is determined to learn all the things in her growth spurt, so I’m just trying to keep meals on the table! 🤪
I was so ill from Christmas through this week, but I’m finally feeling well enough to begin taking inventory this week and getting myself organized. I enjoy the pantry challenge and hope to catch up.
Thanks for sharing. I'm inspired to start planning meals for my items scattered around my small apt.
I love seeing your bigger kids love up on the baby. It really warms my heart.
Thank you for holding up your recipe cards long enough so we can screenshot them for future ideas at our own homes. They all look and sound delicious.
They are also written in the video description
As a reminder, from a couple years ago, use lard and bacon fat when cooking potatoes (instead of your olive oil) so you don't run out of olive oil before March 1st. ❤️
I alwayssss keep bacon grease and use it on everything i can! I even froze some of it in a large ice cube tray and the rest is in the fridge for easy use. Bacon grease on potatoes is soooo yummy!!❤
I was raised eating popcorn made on top of the stove with bacon grease...So Good !!
Always a pleasure to watch you and your family doing fun and meaningful thingss. You are a blessing to so many by setting such a loving example of being a devoted Christian, wife, mother, teacher, cook, and homemaker. You help so many who want to learn these skills. Blessings to all of you! 💙💙💙
AMEN!!

My poor sourdough starter looks just like yours 😅. I was a minute away from tossing it, you have inspired me to drag it back out and give it another try . Following you on progress.
okay I have to stop watching the video for a second, and just say thank you for sharing your inventory sheet. It may seem simple to you but I have been trying to figure out a way to keep the inventory without having to erase all the time and I super love how you did it. Also wanted to say I love all your videos that you share about the meals and how you plan them out, it doesn't matter to me if you share the same meals because that's real life! Thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos!
Glad it was helpful!
I am so delighted to have you back in my Sunday morning routine. You holiday break was a fabulous way for your family to spend time together, it's great that Adam has weeks off to be there as well. I am all in on a no spend 3 months in the pantry challenge. I am also doing the Canuary to work on making some of my freezer stores into shelf stable items. I canned up some Italian sausage as well as some ground beef. I had one jar out of 21 not seal, so I decided to make pizzas. I used a 1925 prize winning bread recipe, that calls for potato and potato water,it makes 4 loaves of bread. I did 2 loaves of bread and 2 13x9 deep dish pizzas. They are good, but next time I will parbake the crust to get the a little crispier, vs the soft texture. We topped with freeze dried mozzarella cheese, red onions,mushrooms,and peppers. Then fresh was pickled banana peppers, olives,and I sprinkled granulated garlic over the edge of the crust. It took 45 minutes to bake, because it was so thick. After watching your woodstove simmering soups, I see soup in my future. Here in Northern Michigan, we finally are seeing winter weather, so soup is perfect. I used your idea and made cranberry gelatin from juice I needed to use up. It didn't seem to have as much cranberry flavor after it set up?? Not sure why. Looking forward to more videos from you as we work through our pantry.😊
Please share your bread recipe!

Prize Bread Recipe 1925
1 medium size potato
2 c potato water
2 c scalded milk
2 T lard
2 T butter
2 T sugar
1 t salt
1 cake fresh yeast dissolved in 1/4 c
warm water.
About 10-11 cups of flour
Mix sponge of lukewarm potato water and the mashed potato, yeast and about 3 c flour. When this is foamy, in about an hour, add lukewarm milk in which the lard,butter,sugar, and salt have been added. Add the rest of the flour to make a soft dough and knead for 15 minutes. Then grease the top of the dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1&1/2 hours. Turn onto slightly floured board, knead out all bubbles. Form into loaves. Put into greased pans, greased top of loaves and again allow dough to rise double in bulk. Bake 50 minutes in moderate oven, increasing heat after 10 minutes. When bread begins to brown, decrease heat. Finish baking in slow oven. Makes 4 loaves.
Recipe from Agnes Maas
From a church cookbook compiled by, Trinity Church Women And Friends, Trinity Evangelical Church U.C.C. Detroit, MI 48209
This was the church my great aunt attended, and she has a fee recipes printed in it as well. I inherited the book from my grandmother, her sister.
I love this pantry challenge Jessica! It inspires me to use up what I have in the back of the cupboards and in the deep freeze that never see the light of day. I have a small 800 sq foot garden in an urban setting where I grow as much as I can -- approx 120 jars or so -- nothing on the scale of others but, as you say, every little bit counts :) ! This challenge makes me mindful to go into the basement and dig out the meats from the freezer instead of using what's readily available in the kitchen fridge freezer. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
I only have a fridge freezer, but am finding foods in the back I need to use! It's the middle of the month and I've only bought milk and bread without even thinking about it! Yay!
I've missed you these past two weeks, Jessica! I'm so excited about your pantry challenge. It's really gone viral, and there are so many channels to watch.
Welcome back! You and your family has been missed.
I do a lot of baking and always zest/micro plane the rind of the lemons before juicing. I freeze it for use in baking, I was wondering if you considered that, especially since you mentioned wishing you had used grapefruit zest.
I love how creative you are in your meals and the no waste mindset. That is how I grew up and continue with my family now.
Good morning Early Riser!!! Let's have coffee together
I'm so glad to see you and your family again. Miss you these 2 weeks. ❤
Fairly new subscriber. I kept seeing other channels I watch mentioning you and the pantry challenge. I am learning so much from all of you. I am not doing the pantry challenge as far as not buying anything but, I am making myself use what I have and research recipes for items I don't normally use that are on the shelf. I am taking care of my family which includes my husband, son and my dad with Alzheimer's. He has things in his pantry that I don't normally use so that is why I am researching how to use these items. We do garden and can some. I want to broaden my skills with this and become a better steward with my resources. You have a truly beautiful family. I homeschool too. I am happy I found your channel.
I always enjoy this series! Such a treat to have these weekly videos. We are doing a pantry challenge for January as well. Tasty meals, opportunity for creativity, and no waste - love it!
I love all your inspiration for your meals! I have a suggestion for your dairy free family. I make a dairy free “cheese” sauce that is really easy.
1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chopped white sweet potato 1/2 med onion chopped, 2cloves garlic sauté in saucepan with 2 tbsp avocado oil for about 5-7 min. In a separate bowl whisk 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 1/2cup coconut milk, 4tsp arrowroot powder, 2-3 tablespoon nutritional yeast,2tsp apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper
Add to saucepan and bring to boil then turn heat down and simmer for 15-20 min. After it cools slightly blend up. It is great to make cheesy soups like broccoli cheese, cheeseburger soup or over nachos etc. Enjoy
Thank you so much. I have everything in the recipe to try it. Maybe we will make it this week ☺️
copied! My oldest daughter has gone dairy free and we are searching for a good 'cheese' recipe! Thank you!
I look forward to the pantry challenge every year now. Your meals are always inspirational and help me to come up with new ideas for meals for my household. Love love love it!!! Thank you so much for all of your content Jessica. I have missed my Sunday mornings with you for the last two weeks :-)
I love the way you cook with intention, using the foods you have on hand. Such inspiration! I occasionally create a meal that I call "Contents of fridge", later wishing I could remember what went into it because I'd like to recreate it! 😂
I call it trash can soup. Trash it or you it.
I call those "one hit wonder"! Prevents disappointment, cause it's not happening again 😂
your kids love beets!!!! i have never heard that in my life. most adults i know don't even like beets, ha! but that is such a blessing for you.
You left us with a cliff hanger!!! LOL I have some seeds meant to be sprouted but I never have - 2 years old and today is the day. Your instructions were my style of directions - easy to remember and do. THANK YOU! I just adore your videos - the information and sweet family time is so calming to me and so inspirational. It's truly a blessing.
Thank you for the pics of your plan and inventory system!
My mom used to say that the definition of eternity is two people and one ham! But it’s just as true that it takes several days for a big family to eat up a big ham.
lol that is sooooo true I love this
I love the idea of the spinach in the quiche. I have tons of the freeze dried zucchini and spinach, but for some reason, never thought to use it this way. Thanks for the great tip.
I tried some yellow squash in a dehydrator. It was too hard to eat as a snack like I did my okra so now I'm going to throw it into the processor and grind it up and add it to just about any and everything because it doesn't really have a strong flavor.
Im doing the pantry challenge along with you. Even though i am alone at 73. Yesterday a baked a whole chicken from the freezer.
Today im going use the leftovers to make chicken noodle soup and it is cold today so soup sounds great to me.
@16:00 you could chop pears into the chicken salad! I do grapes or apples, Almonds for older kids if no allergies. Believe it or not, tiny stuffing bread cubes (homemade or store bought) soften a bit in the dressing you make but retain some crunch and stretch the expensive chicken breast!
This is my second pantry challenge- I’m so excited and ready to go - it’s following my second full garden season too (2.75 in total) and it’s great getting into using up older items to make sure that nothing is wasted. Thank u for sharing what the pantry challenge looks like for you. Hannah is such a little sweetheart now - so grown up!
Incase anyone is low on yeast or wants to speed up their sourdough, you can capture wild yeast from dried pine needles or juniper berries or even dried elderflowers! add 1tbsp of desired product, 1tbsp of sugar/honey/maple syrup and 4tbsp of filtered water in a jar. put a lid on, shake well for a couple days (mine takes 3days), strain and use the liquid in place of water for your sourdough or dried yeast. :) My favourite is Juniper berries, but I've had good success with the others. Elderflowers are a bit quicker as a side note.
I usually have those things available to me so this is great information. I keep dehydrated starter but it’s great to have options. Much appreciated 😀
you're so very welcome! :)@@Just-Nikki
TY ! All looks delicious!
As always, thanks for the inspiration, Jessica! Happy New Year!
I love that detailed inventory list!
I’ve joined the pantry challenge and this is my 2nd year. The week has been great so far. It’s just myself and my husband at this stage of life but once a week it’s his turn to take dinner to his mother that has Alzheimer’s. It was nice to be able to use up what was in the fridge and make a beef stew with some rolls for her. I was telling a friend about the challenge and had mentioned I need to start some sprouts. I use the same type of sprouting lid and like the ease of it.
Such a nice long video! Loved it! Happy New Year!
Thank you. You really inspire me to get in my pantry and find those things I need to use up!
This is my 2nd year doing the panty challenge but with a twist. All my meals are from home, even when I have doctor appointments that 4 hours from home I take my breakfast, lunch and snacks with me. The money I have saved these last two years allowed me to take my dream vacation this year thanks to you.
I seriously love your pantry challenge meals!!
I really loved this video!
Thank you, Jessica! As always, so much inspiration in your meals!
Happy that you and the family are back!!
Made it a whole week! Loving it! Ty❤
I've missed you but so glad you had this time with your family. Love your creativity with meals!
Thanks for sharing so many meal ideas!
You’re always an inspiration❣️ I’m always amazed at how you can find use for every bit of food no matter what it is!!
Yum! Enjoyed it! Happy New Year 🥰
I’m so pleased you and your family enjoyed your holiday break together. I’m so excited to do this pantry challenge and continue to fill my empty jars. You inspire me with your creative ways to bring a meal together and not to waste food. I’m so thankful for all the things you teach me Jessica.
Glad you had a lovely break with Adam and the family! I enjoy these videos so much.
So glad you had a break, Jessica! Also very glad to see this new video! 🌸☺️
Such yummy looking food! Great job!! Lucky kiddos!😊
I love your ways ❤ Thank you for sharing ❤
Happy new year Jessica to you and your sweet family! Always enjoy watching your videos after church while eating my first meal of the day. God bless!!
Happy New Year, and thanks for the videos! Seeing your Honeybaked ham made me remember that as a girl, my stepmother would always make a big H-baked ham for holiday meals, and while it was okay-good, it was usually dry. After I had a family of my own and watched her get ready to cook a ham, I realized that she was treating it as if it were a RAW ham, cooking it overnight! I diplomatically pointed out to here that she was double-cooking, and the ham actually only needed to be heated--or not! The ham that year was juicy and delicious!
Love these videos. Helps to have all these ideas. Thankyou.
Thank you! We are doing a modified pantry challenge and this is always so inspiring to see what you do!
I love to watch how creative you get and the wonderful meals you come up with. I am in no position to be able to do this , so I live through you until I am able to do this as well!!!
I've been watching you off and on for years now but finally subscribed today. Looking forward to your inspiration during the pantry challenge.
LOVE this time of year. Always look forward to the pantry challenge with you Jessica. 🥰👍
Hanna is walking!! She's so cute and all your kids seem so grown up now!! Happy Canuary!! Be safe and God bless
Good morning! I have missed your videos! Good for you for taking off two weeks for family time! Happy New Year!
Thank you Jessica for all you do
Hello Jessica and family and Happy New Year to you all! You are off to a great start with the pantry challenge! Can't wait to see more and get more ideas from you!!!!!
I've missed you, Jessica! I hope you and your family had the loveliest holiday season!!
I'm so glad you had such a wonderful couple of weeks off, but I won't lie....I missed you and your family. Merry Christmas and Happy New year!!!! Thank you for all your amazing videos. You've taught me so much.
Missed you and your family. Thanks for all you do for your family. Tennessee homemaker.
YOU TEACH US SO MUCH. Thank you and blessings.
I love seeing the nutritious meals you come up with for your family! We aren't joining the challenge this year but I still enjoyed this video.
Jessica, I am most grateful I found your channel. You give me inspiration to be intentional about meal planning. I rarely planned meals before. Since I have started meal planning my life is less stressful & I seem to get other projects done in a more timely manner since I am not lamenting over what I am going to cook for dinner on the daily. Thank you so very much for the service you provide to each of us. ❤
I just remembered I forgot to comment this morning. It was wonderful seeing you again with all your good ideas for putting healthy meals together. My internet has been in and out all day so it took me several hours but I was so glad I waited it out... you're always worth it, plus I like to read all the comments! Have a great week.
i love this challenge, favourite videos of the year :))
Being able to put my creative energy into cooking for my family is one of the simple joys I find in homemaking. Thanks for shining your light Jessica! I always look forward to you videos.
I hope you all enjoy the break. I am sure it was great having Adam home!!! Happy new year.
I love your pantry challenge video’s every year and I especially love when you show your children assisting you, it shows that they are learning from your hard work how to eat healthy and still enjoy very flavorful meals.
Happy new year to you all! I love your channel and love how creative you get! I started home preserving a few years ago and I’m still learning. I live in an apartment and turned my coat closet into a pantry it’s a tiny pantry. I have to be very intentional about the things I can or preserve due to limited storage. I thought I wouldn’t be able to do this challenge until I had a house and a garden and a basement to store my food. I am following quite a few channels who participate in your challenge and I have learned that I can as well and it is Tailored to me. You have taught me so Much and I want to say thank you.
So to those who think they can’t… you can!!😊🤙🏻👌👍🏻
Happy New Year to you and your family, Jessica ❤
I love your videos so much. Thank you for sharing your life with us

Ohh! I've been waiting for this❤. I love watching you cook in the pantry challenge. I have a very small pantry, but I will try to cycle through and find uses for things that has been left in the back.
Loved the video. Thank you. Blessings
So inspiring! Thank you

Glad you are back. I missed your weekly videos. Decided to join your challenge and I’m excited to participate. God bless your sweet family.
Am glad you had wonderful holidays!!!! I have been counting down to this day😂😂😂. I woke up bright and early this morning to start coffee and wait for you. I was planning on next weeks menu for the challange as always you give wonderful ideas. ❤
Great video Jessica!
Good morning!
I have missed your videos! I guess I’m addicted to what you share and am always so inspired by you. I’m so glad that you intentionally took time to be with your family.
Now, because of you, I’m doing the Pantry Challenge this year. No stores until January. I over compensated during 2020 and have a gluttony of items I wouldn’t normally purchase so I’m glad to use those up. It’s just hubby and I. We try to stay on a keto diet which has done well but some of the items I have, don’t fit that lifestyle. I can’t afford to just throw it away. This make me go through those items and then purchase better items In February.
Amazing job! How inspiring ❤❤❤
I really enjoyed your video. Thx
I do enjoy when you upload a new video. I always open up YT on Sundays, excited to see what you have in store for us! I have been married for 3 years with no kids and we currently live right in the middle of town, but our goal is to purchase a house with some land and I can’t wait to start homesteading. Thank you for your videos!
Happy New Year, Jessica and family! I hope 2024 will be auspicious for you. God bless and peace be with you.
(Wife typing) Hello, Jessica! I've been watching you all for a few years now and cannot tell you how encouraging your channel is to a fellow homesteading, homeschooling large family!
I wanted to toss you a tip with water glassed eggs. You mention you use them in baking because of the yolk breakage. I have found that if I refrigerate my water glassed eggs overnight before use, 9 times out of 10 the yolk "reconstitutes" and comes back together. I hope this helps when eggs get low this winter!
Thanks for sharing!!
Good morning, Jessica! I enjoyed seeing how you prepared for the challenge with that chart. I may use that idea with our own inventory. Our goal is to use up what we have. I have not yet mastered the art of rethinking leftovers into something new the next day. I need to work on my menu planning. I cannot wait to see how your sourdough starter comes out! Your 30 min rolls look delicious! My favorite part of your video was the excitement of your children stamping their names into the Calzones! I am looking forward to next week's video!
Everything looked delicious ❤
Going on from you saying about an empty soup pot is easier than having to save putting away leftovers, I think that knowing your children have a good belly full of healthy nutritious food is a really good feeling as a mum. Like ensuring your son has a good breakfast ready for work. I think it’s imprinted into us isn’t that us mums are feeders and all we want is our children to thrive in the best way possible xx
Edited to add that I bought some cannelloni pasta tubes back last summer because I couldn’t find any of the pasta shells that you used and they’re on the menu for this week so I’m going to do it kind of like a lasagne but with tubes 🤣
