- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- Is your December budget is starting to feel the squeeze between groceries and gifts? Well honey, that's a problem I can help you with. In this video I share practical methods you can use to save money at the grocery store, while still eating well, with recipes your family will love. And, I'll show you a hack I've used for over a decade to purchase gifts for friends and family at 75% off retail prices. I don't go a dime over my monthly budget, just because it's "the month of December" and you shouldn't have to either! You heard that right- December does NOT have to wreck your budget, and it shouldn't. I've got over 8 different recipes you can put on the table tonight, and I even give you a grocery guide that you can print (or pull up on your phone) to take to the grocery store with you. And, if you're a regular viewer of the channel, I have updates about my first deer hunt, my dad's visit, and some other Christmas fun!

I see Novembers, but not December 🤔
I love watching your pantry chats. You do some awesome recipes and your enthusiasm makes it fun ❤
I beg you to not give up Pantry Chat. If anything, it allows you to take a big breath and allow us the opportunity to see you.I am better for that experience. Thank you.
@BecomingaFarmGirl Thank you for mentioning hunt training. Being a lady, I get the side eye when mentioning learning how to hunt. I considered the apprenticeship, and will sign up next year, due to your inspiration. Just a quick FYI, I got my fire power from Dunham's sporting goods in Michigan. They have layaway for fire power and great sales. I purchased my shotty for $150. Maybe there's an equivalent in MD.
Please continue the pantry chats!
I love your pantry chats. Your enthusiasm reminds me of the daughter I lost to cancer 8 years ago, just before her 23rd birthday - she had the same delight and joy in canning and cooking and learning new things, and she was more sentimental than the rest of us, so many of our family traditions came alive best in her. She didn’t love gardening but I didn’t know that until she admitted it near the end of her life, and when I asked her why she always helped me in the garden when she disliked gardening, she said, “Because I got to spend time with you.”
I really miss conversations with her, especially this time of year. Your parents are very blessed to have you. And I’m grateful they raised such a delightful daughter. Thank you for all you share!
I’m so sorry for your loss.
My deepest condolences on the loss of your daughter. ❤🙏🇮🇪
Oh my dearest friend, I hold the memories you shared about your daughter close to my heart. The loss of a loved one is a heaviness you always carry. She and I sound like kindred spirits 😊. I always think how fortunate I am to have my folks not just as parents but as my truest friends and I know she felt the same about you. My Nana’s birthday was December 2nd and since loosing her, this time of year comes with a sense of sadness. I don’t take the time you share with me in my kitchen for granted. I’m also glad you don’t mind my fast talking, squeal’s, and chattiness! Merry Christmas to you, sweet friend!
We love your monthly pantry chats. Please don't stop them. I'm a 53 year old black woman who also lives in Baltimore city. I love all the things I have learned watching your channel. I was looking for a black person who lived in the city. I watch 1870's Homestead, Living Free Alaska, Homestead Heart, little mountain ranch, yellow door Homestead. There was not very many people living in the city showing how to take care of a garden and cook. Like the older people used to. Appreciate all the different things you put on your show.
Yes I love her too! She shares so much information in these chats. I also love Homestead Heart, I’ve learned so much about canning and gardening from her. My grandpa’s best friend was a sweet little black man who he had grown up with on deep east Texas. I learned so much about gardening from spending time with my grandpa and Mr. Charlie. I live in the city and have a small yard, but I have figured out ways to grow a lot of my food in a small space, and have started canning. I used to “help” my grandma and Mr. Charlie’s wife Miss Pearl when they were canning when I was a little girl. Wonderful memories and knowledge that I wouldn’t trade for anything! I’m 63 and I’m trying to share what I learned from them with my daughter.
@suzannehetmer2394 Do you live in a row or town house. I live in a row and it was so hard to start my garden because I live on the end. And I was worried about how it was going to work
I live in a zero lot line home in a suburb of Dallas. My yard is small but I take advantage of the shade provided by my house so everything doesn’t roast here in the summer Texas sun. It’s amazing how much I can fit in my containers and along the fence!
What tomatoes do you grow? I also live in area and my tomatoes just don’t bloom to well.
@@citygal2198 I grow Amish Paste, San Marzano, Romas, Cherokee Purple, Supersweet 100 and Sungold. All are in large containers that look like half whiskey barrels that I purchased at Aldi’s.
I always look forward to your pantry chats and I hope you continue with them. You cram a lot into your videos and I really appreciate the work that that takes, especially with a full time job. Your channel is one of my favorites.
Hello friend! I appreciate this and yes, with full time work I’m not always able to be the most consistent with posting but I truly enjoy sharing online. I do not take it lightly that you hold what I share with the warmest regards. Thank you, sweet friend. Merry Christmas to you!
You are so creative so you will find ways to make them unique.
I love the pantry chats! Please keep them coming!
Mine too!!
I enjoy every single pantry chat
Its sitting down with my friend Cassandra every month
They help me out above and beyond
I hope you continue them but do what your heart tells you too sweet friend
Wishing you many blessings and memories in yur Holiday season 🥰
Please continue the pantry chats. When I talk to a close friend, our conversations are all over the board. As a matte of fact, sometime even I'm surprised at the number of things we talk about. But isn't that what real friends do? No script, just friends talking. That's what your pantry chats are.... a friend talking to another friend... that's what makes them so special. Keep it up!
Please don't stop the pantry chat's. I love these videos they are so inspiring and informative it's like being in the kitchen with a big sister I never had. Thank you so much for sharing this part of your life.
Pantry chats with repeat information is an excellent way for everyone to learn. The story about your Nana was precious. So it is like you’re passing on your Nana’s wisdom to those that didn’t have a Nana. Take Care.
Just here to second that repeat information is 100%welcome! I love hearing about how life is going for you and see what you're learning in real time.
I enjoy the pantry chats. They feel genuine and it’s so nice to be invited into your life.
Omgoodness! I love your pantry chats!! Please don't stop them! You are so inspiring, creative, wonderfully curious, and a great Teacher❤
Hello Sharon! I am starting to feel relief that "the pantry chat crew" totally won't mind that the information I'll share will likely be some of the previous videos. I just wanted to be certain. Golly, this makes me feel so good. Have a very Merry Christmas, friend!
I love the pantry chats. Don’t stop. I’m 70 in Mississippi and still miss my Granny and Mema and the teaching and chats about everyday life. It’s wonderful to see you and others carrying on that tradition throughout the country.
Please, please don’t stop the pantry chats! I lost my only aunt, my mom and dad all in the space of two years. Your pantry chat reminds me of a kitchen table discussion with my mom. It is warm, it is familiar, it is soothing to my soul. Please continue!
Please, please, please don't stop the pantry chats. I've learned so much what you give your youtube community is so valuable. The thing's I've learned from your channel is helpful in my household and I'm able to help out my uncle who is 81. I still coupon because that's a great help as well but what you give on your channel is priceless.
You better continue as your journey grows you learn new things, continue to share with us! It helps, plus sometimes we're not even here for the info, girl your personality is perfection!
Haha, friend this is too kind! I am feeling so much relief that "the pantry chat crew" doesn't seem to mind that some of what I'll continue to share in the new year will be what I've touched on in the past. And, I think to myself--goodness, I know I come off a little crazy some times, so appreciate it when others "get" me. Merry Christmas, friend!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl I mean, what is sanity anyway!?😂😂
@@BecomingaFarmGirl we love you here and we click your videos time and time again because of YOU! there's tons of other channels sharing the same info but not the way YOU do it honey! Just know that even if it is repeating, your info and more importantly, RESPRESENTATION, is valuable to us. Keep pushing thru sis! Happy holidays.
I generally steer away from pantry chats, but yours… no way! I lean in and fill my coffee cup, sit down and watch, listen and always learn something. Your chats cover some ground! You have a gift of sharing your journey to chase your dreams. I love the adventures with your dad and his sewing tips, genius! I am older and went through Alaska’s B.O.W. ( becoming an outdoor woman) 15-18 years ago. I learned gun skills, got certified as a bow hunter, learned skin sewing. I am retiring in a few years and moving into the wild!😅40 miles from the nearest road! All you covered leads right back to the pantry. You have the best pantry chats!!
Keep the pantry chats coming! I learn something new each time and so appreciate all the work you put into each one. 💕
Hello sweet friend! Thank you so much. I started to 'get in my head' about repeating some of the info. I'll share new recipes and I always seem to have a few other projects going, so it looks like the 'chats' will continue.
Yay🎉@@BecomingaFarmGirl
@@BecomingaFarmGirl I started watching you a few months ago. I live in Virginia and I’m likely one of your older viewers. Just wanted to tell you I’m trying to return to my rural roots and you are the one who has inspired me to learn to can. Have built a wonderful garden and this coming year, I’m getting serious about preserving it. I love your channel and learn a lot. Keep going!
PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR PANTRY CHATS! Oh, pretty please🥺 It does not feel repetitive, it is marvellous to get to know you and feel hope for the future.
Christmas gifts every year, are homemade cards, I make the whole family bread (25 loafs), and this year I'll be canning chicken soup for everyone with egg noodles on the side 👌🏻😍
I love that your gifts CAN’T be bought in a store and are so practical. What a thoughtful way to show those you care about with gifts that you created by hand. 🥰 Merry Christmas, my friend!
I always stock up on cranberries to can, and you can’t buy them any other time!
♥️👍🤓
Merry christmas my friend!!❤️@@BecomingaFarmGirl
This is such a wonderful gift idea!
Your a Saint! What wonderful gifts.
You share way more than just a grocery guide During your pantry chats. I love watching your parents visiting and reacting and seeing what your plans are for the month. It's my favorite UA-cam series. Please keep them coming ❤❤
From one city girl to another, I love watching what you are accomplishing. This Florida girl will be moving to Louisiana country area in March to start my homesteading with animals. I love gardening and canning and baking from scratch, so I'm ready for the next step. Please keep up the pantry chats, and I love the reminders of what is in season for buying. Also, I have already lined up someone to teach me how to hunt. You are a big inspiration for me. ❤
All I can say is EVERY episode you present is so INSPIRING! At 67 years old, though, I can only wish I had such energy to just do the regular daily things I need to do. You are so blessed, Cassandra. God bless you and your husband and families this Christmas and New Year season. Peace and joy to everyone! Thanks for all your great videos!
Hello Ms. Deb! Your kind words went straight to my heart. I couldn't agree with you more, the LORD has blessed me beyond words. As the elders in my church used to say, "even if the Lord doesn't do another thing for me, he has already blessed me abundantly." I pray that you and your have a very Merry Christmas as well and that the LORD keep you in HIS perfect peace!
Yes, please continue your pantry chats! I love catching up with you and sharing your journey to become a farm girl with your precious family. I am honored and humbled to feel like your close friend. You mean so much to me🥰🤟🏼
Seeing you with your Dad is just the sweetest thing! Please continue your pantry chats. Sharing your knowledge and skills are a highlight for me.
Aww, Debbie thank you so much for such kind words. I was doubting myself on continuing the series past a year, but it is very good to know that you, and others don't seem to mind my fast talking rambles too much! I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!
Girl you had me crying at the end. I felt the love for your grandma!! Yes you should continue these chats. I don't care if it is the same information. I Love hearing you say it!!
I miss her dearly. It's a heaviness I've grown used to the weight of the past few years but its not gotten easier. December 2nd is her birthday and I fall into a slump even more so. These chats really HAVE been a way for me to show up with all of my ramblings, and thrift finds, and joy over clearance finds, and home cooked meals and share what I'm learning in a way that I truly connected with my Nana about. It's done my heart good not to have to hold that in this year. God bless you and yours and have a very Merry Christmas!
@BecomingaFarmGirl Aww, sweetie!! You are a blessing to us all! Thank You for being you!! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Thoughts and prayers always with you!!
All the way to the end…I’m a deer hunter. Before you even said it I was thinking, I wonder how she felt about the world waking up in the woods before her eyes. Not everyone will have that peaceful experience. Keep the pantry chats coming. Even if you repeat some, most people need repetition to learn things. Be blessed, Cassandra!
I LOVE your pantry chats‼️ I usually don’t comment because I watch on my tv, BUT I want you to know just how much we love the channel and you. ♥️ keep on keeping on sis
Hello Sherry! Well, thank you for commenting (and I totally understand your preference not to comment) BUT I do appreciate this feedback. I guess I got in my head and I wondered if folks would think it was necessary for me to repeat some of the topics I've discussed each month. I'm glad to share that most won't mind and are actually able to make sense out of all the other parts I include. I wish you and yours a very, Merry Christmas!!
I love your pantry chats but I would watch anything you put out. Your honesty and authenticity is what keeps me coming back. Do what feels natural to you and we’ll be there to support you!!
Don't stop! These are the highlight of my UA-cam month. I look forward to this more than anything.
Please continue the pantry chats. I really enjoy them. Just include new recipes for stuff.😊
I really enjoy your pantry chat. You make me feel that I am in your kitchen drinking tea and listening to your story and learning from you..
Cassandra, I've been watching you for a long while now. I love these pantry chats. I'm like you - I teach full time. No one I work with spends time gardening, preping or cooking like you do. You are my only source of input from the perspective of full time working out side of my home and gardening/canning/cooking. I wait each month to hear what you will be sharing. What ever you decide I will continue to watch you. You bless me with every one of your posts!!!!
Catherine! A big ol' smile came across my face as soon as I saw your 'face'. Darling, you are correct, you've been alongside me from nearly the beginning. I appreciate this so much. Working a full-time job does make having a consistent posting schedule a little wonky, BUT my goal isn't to be a youtuber-it's to maintain my career and work towards a small homestead. Sometimes I have been unsure if I should cut these videos into two parts, but I see that food and family are connected. I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!
Absolutely continue the pantry chats. I love all of your videos.
Hello Dianna! Thank you for this feedback. I wasn’t sure if folks would find it repetitive, so I’m so glad to hear from friends, like you, that have tuned in. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
These chats are valuable to so many people who are lonely, who need a friend, even on the internet, people who don't have elders and need the knowledge you have been lucky to learn from your parents and grandparents. Don't stop.
i don't cook/garden a lot or do any kind of preservation, so i'm way out of your target audience but i just wanted to say that you've been a comforting spirit for me especially this year as i was diagnosed with some diseases.
your optimism, devotion, discipline and kindness/warmth pours into everything you do! you make the mundane feel worth being cherished and grounded in.
please post whatever you feel called to because i for one watch your content for you!
I want more pantry chats, it feels like having coffee with a friend
Your videos are one of the few that I watch all the way through. The pantry chats are some of my favorites. It's good to have the reminders each month, because I often times forget what should be on my buy list each month.
Hello Brenda! This makes my heart leap for joy. I got kinda 'in my head' wondering if it would be helpful if I shared the same tips each month, but I will be certain to change the recipes, continue to share the updates in my life as I keep learning homesteading skills and goodness, I could talk about food preservation all day. Thank you for such kind words. Merry Christmas to you!
Girl, orange is your color. The song that came to mind after your turkey processing and deer hunt was “A country boy (girl) will survive.” I LOVE your pantry chats! You are an inspiration!
Don't stop the pantry chats, they are very informative.
I LOVE YOUR PANTRY CHATS!!!!! I feel like I am getting to know a good friend and I learn from you. And so what if the information is on repeat. It just gives me more opportunity to catch something I may have missed before. You are so enjoyable to hang out with. I appreciate your hard work and the time you spend with us!! 😊
Cassandra, my sister shared you with me 3 months ago. I love that you refer to your rhythm of life. I am one that enjoys watching from begining to end.
One thing i must say is that you dont "catch" a deer!
Your videos are very enjoyable and thank you for sharing the important parts of your life with us. I love them. I too develope relationships with the people i enjoy watching. You bring many family values back and that makes my heart happy.❤❤❤
As someone who wants to become better at preservation and eventually venture into having my own animals, let me say how much I have ENJOYED your pantry chats thus far. I’m sure your nana is beaming with pride and this is such a sweet way to honor her!!! Please know this is one follower who will be here whether you continue these chats or not (but I sure hope you keep them going 🥰🥰)
I love your pantry chats!
Please dont stop them
I also enjoy the feeling of spending time with you as you grow as a farm girl and seeing your growth and journey.
The repetition of them ( even if you did them monthly for a DECADE ) teach ME that same rhythm that your Nana passed on to you.
& imho that legacy is priceless and i think helps to keep her legacy alive, well, planted and blooming around the world for all to love together with you. ❤
I pray you stay encouraged. I believe you are making an impact. As for my family and our legacy, we are forever grateful to you and your family for being a part of our journey too ❤
*Hugs!*
Thank you so much for sharing the hot water cornbread! My family is Puerto Rican and funny enough, I grew up eating something incredibly similar. We call them sorullitos, and we usually add cheese... So delicious. Watching you make them reminded me of my grandmother. She passed away a few years ago and I remember her when I eat red beans with rice or pigeon peas with fried fish. I loved spending time with her in her kitchen 🙏 Thank you so much for sharing your treasure trove of knowledge and wisdom with us. I don't usually comment but I have watched almost every video you posted this year and I adore your content! I hope you have the most blessed holiday season and a happy new year! ❤️
Edit: Just wanted to say, your monthly pantry chats can be for your core viewers to catch up with you and see what's new. I think they can be your thing. I love the idea of doing them every month of every year!
This is such a beautiful memory of your family, too. I just googled a picture of sorullitos and yes, they have a striking resemblance! Food and cooking are just powerful traditions and a way to pass down a culinary legacy (and, spending time in the kitchen with grandma is one you don't know how much you miss until they pas). Thank you for giving me feedback on the pantry chats! I'm feeling much better that people understand that the information is seasonal, and yes, I can keep "the core" posted on other updates too. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I love you pantry chats ❤. Repeating is not necessarily a bad thing, repetitiveness is how people learn and I for one, I’m learning a lot. I’m also incredibly grateful for the work you put into them.
We DEFINITELY want more pantry chats. I'm not always in a position to incorporate the material immediately, but the reminders keep me up to date .
The chats are great! It really is helping me to structure grocery buying and to revisit hobbies such as sewing and natural health remedies. I am still looking for my dream heater. You inspire me!
I love your pantry chats. They are very informative. I just bought my first pressure canner and can’t wait to start canning:)
Hello Annie! Girl, come over here and get this hug, >>>hug
I am still nervous about canning. I am focusing right now on fermenting. But I hope to have worked up the courage to can maybe this time next year.😅
Hi Cassandra! I love your pantry chats because you keep it real and it is very educational.😊
Hey lady! So good to 'see' ya! :) This chat is lengthy, but super fun. Hope you enjoy!
@@BecomingaFarmGirlLove them, Love them, Love them. Looking forward to more of them! Stay well, my friend! ❤
I love your pantry chats! I don't care if they are repeats. They are just good wholeness talks and I ALWAYS learn a thing or two from your chats, especially recipes to try! Keep them coming 😊
I love the pantry chats. You are a blessing and inspiration to us all.
Please keep making your pantry chats.🙏 You are a bright light of happiness and being real is such a gift! We love all that you do and share with us! As long as it makes you happy then please keep on pantry chatting with us all.❤ Thank you for all you give and bless you and your family.❤
You are so sweet!! YOU MADE US A GROCERY GUIDE. THANK YOU!!!
I’ll email it out tomorrow so that new folks have a chance to sign up! I’m happy to pass along these guides! Hope you enjoy!
I love the pantry chats and look forward to it every month! It moves as the seasons of life.
I can’t imagine a month going by withOUT a “Pantry Chat" from you. SERIOUSLY! I love your content and, like you mentioned, I don’t see myself saving or going back to a previous year to find a grocery guide. You have an amazing and unique talent of making your subscribers feel like they are personal friends. Don’t doubt your talents and please keep creating your "Pantry Chats!"
Cassandra, your enthusiasm ALONE is one of the reasons I look forward to your pantry chats! Not to mention the great ideas you share.
I must side with everyone else when I beg that you please continue these chats! It is a breath of fresh air to see a woman of color sharing this type of information. Please, keep blessing us with your gift of knowledge,.❤
Hi Cassandra! Seeing you posted a video made my week better, it's been a rough one.
Hey lady! Hold your head up and know that I just whispered a prayer of strength for you. “Keep on keeping on” as my grandma would say. This packed video has some happy moments that I hope will distract your thoughts. Merry Christmas, friend!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl Merry Christmas to you too!
Please don't stop. I love the pantry chats. It's the ONLY long video of any content creator that I watch from beginning to end. I even click or let the ads play all the way through. Hoping it helps you out in some small way, in return for all you do 😊
I love that your dad was able to show you that trick with the zipper. As soon as he said that you needed to snip the bottom of the track, the trick came back to me. I realized my mom had done the same on a piece of clothing I had as a child. It was so nice to relive that little memory.
I so look forward to your videos! Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your family.
❤ your pantry chats ❤
Hello sweet friend! This one was late, but I’ve got so many things to share! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! 🥰
I love your pantry chats!! Thank you for sharing your life!!! I canned the corn broth and the chicken corn soup. We love new flavors and different recipes. You should live in WV. Much cheaper and hunting is great! Take care! Blessings to your family Merry Christmas!
Hi Rhonda! Woman, you are in my mind! My husband and I have only seriously considered PA, but, BUT--for the reason you mentioned, and a recent conversation I had with a fellow apprentice hunter who lives in WV, its now an area we're considering. :)
Please don't stop the pantry chats!!! My whole family (even my 4yo!!) absolutely love them! And repeats are great! It helps keep things fresh in our mind!
After hearing your inspiration for your pantry chats, you should continue as much for us as for yourself. I'm sure your Nana didn't tell you something once , repetition is how we learn. You may have done a December chat last year, but each month brings a new season in our lifes journey. What we didn't "hear" the 1st time, we may be ready and able to hear this time. Instead of Pantry Chats, just call them Chats and continue to include all the random (your word) aspects of your life. Thank you for sharing❤
Don’t stop the pantry chats, I learn a lot from them. I enjoy them very much.
Girl, keep these pantry chats going! I’m either watching it in the kitchen cleaning up or cooking and sometimes just when I need to feel like I’m at home with a kindred spirit.
Im sorry you lost your grandma, I can only imagine what it feels like and I immediately have to stop the thought cause whew! But even if keeping the pantry chat is just therapeutic for you…do it. It’s worthy work and I know grandma would love it!
I am one of the ones that love love love your pantry chats. I would definitely miss them were you to not continue them. Yes, there would be some things that will be the same as they are geared to that month. But they aren’t just about the grocery list or things that make them “for” that month. I fully believe that the only thing that is consistent is change. Thus, I believe as you grow closer to that farm you will be continually learning, changing, growing and gaining intelligence that you don’t know you have to gain thus far. Plus, I would miss the long videos of you as i cook, fold laundry or relax a while at the end of the day. I find that you go further into the depths of your family life, daily life and who Cassandra truly is. Your teaching what you know as well as what you are learning helps, I know, so many eager to drink in your knowledge and wisdom. ❤
Please keep doing these pantry chats. I don't care if it's the same ish from year to year. It really is like hanging out with you in your kitchen. Rewatching them isn't quite the same.
Please don’t change a thing!!! Your videos are by far the most interesting, fun and informative. Period!!! Ahhhh, to have a neighbor like you - what a blessing!
Hi!! Sewist here, your Dad did an amazing repair!! We call that sewing in a stop in my house. The best way to become more comfortable with sewing, is to practice with your machine. Hit that thrift store for fabric. Sew small projects, that can be made in a day. That machine, becomes part of muscle memory and then boom , you are off and mending. I will say this, understanding garment sewing is key to complicated alterations. Please feel free to ask we Sewists questions!! Thanks for always sharing tips. Love the Pantry Chat!! I feel like we connect with you more than just a can this or preserve that vid. I actually look forward to them. You are doing an amazing job!!
I enjoy your pantry chats. The things that are in season might repeat but what you’re doing with them and what you’re up to or into will evolve and change. It won’t be repetitive. Let your viewing community fill a little bit of that void. Keep the tradition alive.
Cassandra. I just found you, and i have just binge watched all your pantry chats! I love them so much! My mom just had a stroke and these videos have been so comforting. I sounds odd, I'm sure, but its true. We feed our families and in so doing we also nourish the soul. I feel like you are my friend, and we are talking heart to heart. Food, fellowship, goals, feeding your people. These are the things that sustain our souls as well. Wish you were my neighbor! I have picked up so many great tips and you sharing your life and family is very sweet. Thank you for all your work here and being willing to share. God bless you, sweet girl!
Please continue your pantry chats! Not only do we love the content, but a lot of us have also lost loved ones with whom we'd love to discuss these things. I look forward to feeling like I'm in your kitchen, and appreciate your conversational style in these chats. Keep up the good work, and thank you for your time and efforts with these.
Oh sweetness please continue the chats. It isn't just cooking, growing or preserving etc. I love those too but sharing your adventures we feel like we are part of your life.
Girl, Don't do a dang thing with these pantry chats!! I literally look forward to them. My feelings were getting a little bit anxious when I was like "did she put one up yet?" "Has she put one up yet?" Lol. I was so happy when I woke up this morning and saw that it was uploaded. I can't speak for anybody else, but I adore your pantry chats. I finally started getting the grocery list thing. It was a little hiccup with it before but now I get the groceries/pantry lists and I am in heaven! Please don't stop doing these pantry chats!
Your pantry chats have motivated me to get back in the groove. I was letting things stop me from taking pride in my garden and preserving. Then I found your channel. I am back!!! Please don’t stop pantry chats!!!
Cassandra PLEASE stick with the pantry chats!!!!! I love them and watch them multiple times as well as share them! I love to hear stories about your grandmother. I had a very close relationship with mine and I always 🥲. I’d even love to see a video on valuable things that you’ve learned from your grandmother. Please keep them coming!!😊
That broccoli soup just made me hungry. But I just finished dinner!
You are blessed to have parents that taught you the true meaning of CHRISTmas.
Your dad reminds me of my grandfather who was a Navy Shellback, his sewing tricks, love of jeopardy, and being southerner, all of it. Your videos are such a joy!
as long as you always add recipes, people shouldn't get bored by the pantry chat ;) I enjoy them a lot
I agree with the lady from the conference. It's a great reminder, plus you would be able to share other seasonal recipes that you omitted from this year's pantry chats, as well as new events happening in your life. I really enjoy the pantry chats. It feels like I'm right there with you catching up on what's happening with a friend.
I hope you never change your videos. I am 73 and thoroughly enjoy everyone. Even we old dogs can learn a few new tricks!! Keep on keeping on. You are doing great❤❤
Please don’t stop the pantry chats .. I look forward to them every month. Like sitting down with a friend and catching up on all the things.
I absolutely love your pantry chats! As a 26yo black women in the Atlanta suburbs, it is so inspiring to watch your journey and all that you're doing and learning. You've inspired me to dive into canning, fermenting, and as soon as I'm able, raising & culling quail (or chickens if I can ever afford to live on property that allows it). You make my heart and soul sing!
I know you're not discontinuing the family pantry chats. You pulled a chair out for us and made us a home, now I think it's time we have a banter.
Idea. Do your pantry chats as a premier and be there while it airs and we can all chit chat for that time over the good deals we found, things the Lord talking to us about or maybe a new skill we learned or are trying to learn.
This makes pantry chats more dynamic and continues on the lovely cadence you had with your Nana, and we get to carry that cadence on to our own generations to come. New family traditions are beautiful.
The zipper repair was an added super bonus! Thank your dad! It's at 35 min 45 seconds and could be a single video.
I LOVEEEE your pantry chats, it feels like I'm catching up with my cool cousin I haven't seen in awhile. Please keep them coming 🥰
I'm here for you sis. Continue these pantry chats, they're actually the ones I will watch all the way through. I miss my Big Mama too. 🤗😘
I love the pantry chats. My mom died when I was 20. 30 years ago now. These are the chats I would have loved to have with her! Repeats and reminders are good!
Wouldn't you have talked about some of the same things with your grandmother? I really want you to do it again. Who wants to re-watch? I cannot find it again. This is wonderful. Just talk to us. We love you.
Sweet friend, I appreciate this so much. And, you are spot on. Nana and I had many repeated conversations and that was comforting. I guess I got "in my head" about things, but the feedback I'm getting from "the pantry chat crew" is assuring me that folks get that a preservation kitchen is very cyclical. I love ya'll too. It's been so comforting to have you, and the others, as part of my life. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Noooo! Please Do not stop the pantry chat. I just love them! You are so sweet and fun
PLEASE KEEP DOING THE PANTRY CHATS!!! I love hearing of your life, what you have been up to, see you get excited about the same things I do.
I’ve been so tired, I wasn’t going to put up a tree this year. I’m alone, what’s the point. This video inspired me to break out the tree and enjoy it.
Thank you for all you share with us. It helps ease the loneliness.
Continue your pantry chats. I'm 60 something, but still get value from these. You take my seasonal shopping to the next level. More importantly, ideas on how to use them. Life's a journey, and one year there's an abundance of one thing. The next another. And you are teaching flexibility and resilience ... not to mention your beautiful smile. I may stop the video periodically, but do finish it. As you said, lots of content. Varied content. It's ok to walk away, do a task, absorb what you taught, then watch some more.
Your dad reminds me so much of my dad! He watched Jeopardy religiously and also knew how to sew, a skill his mother taught him while growing up in west Texas during the depression. Keep up with the pantry chats, I enjoy and look forward to all your videos!
I love the pantry chats. It’s overwhelming to duplicate everything you do but if I focus on one thing it gets me closer to my goals.
I enjoy the pantry chat videos so please don’t stop doing them.
You can alter your recipes and some of your tips and tricks sections to have them be different from what you’ve already put out.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
I was thinking the same thing.
Another vote for the pantry chats! I love and treasure all your videos. Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤
Hello Patrice! That is exactly what I had in mind (to change the recipes) IF friends didn't mind that the other mainstay tips would be the same. I appreciate you for sharing this! Have a very Merry Christmas!
I love the pantry chats! I'd watch them if they were 2hrs long. Please continue making them, you bring us so much joy with them! I love how genuine you are in all your videos but I especially love the pantry chats, I check to see if you've posted all the time!!!
Please continue your chats. It makes many of us feel like we are sipping coffee and just talking. I am blessed to have found your UA-cam
my favorite videos are these pantry chats. they make me feel like u are a friend who just lives far away
Please continue your pantry chats. I'm new to your channel, and I love everything you've shared. I'm in Newark,Delaware planning to do a vertical garden in my small yard space. You have inspired me so much. I also love history, and visiting places showing how people used to live harvest and prepare food as well as utensils they used, is so exciting. I appreciate all you share ,thank you.❤
I don't always catch your pantry chats each month, you know, life gets in the way. However, when I get the chance to sit down to watch, I thoroughly enjoy them. I think it is completely understandable if you need to change up your content to allow growth in a direction you may want to take it, but the pantry chats always feel like I am sitting across the kitchen table from you. If these come to an end, I want to thank you for inviting me into your lovely and warm home.
One thing I appreciate and will take the time to watch is: you get right to the point no messing around. Stuttering and trying to think of what you want to say. Thank you for that! Keep on keeping on.
I’m typically a watcher and not much of a commenter, however since you asked I’m chiming in to let you know that I find ALL of your content enjoyable. I will continue to watch and support your channel no matter what you decide to share. You are a genuine person with refreshing content creation. Your intent and passion can be felt, so don’t devalue the effect your input and effectively your output has on those who tune in sporadically, temporarily, or continuously. Peace and blessings 💕
It’s seriously impressive that you’re learning hunting in less than a year when everyone in my family learned along side older family over many years.
