No empty space in your pantry, what a wonderful problem to have!!! Miss Elisabeth looks like she's walked out of a Renaissance painting, a classical beauty:)))
I wish I'd thought of being THIS prepared before my babies came. I only had a few casseroles in the freezer for dinner! You, my dear, are the most prepared momma I've ever seen. You just amaze me at your preparedness. I've gotten so many great ideas and recipes from you. Thank you for sharing them with us. If I remember correctly, Hannah turns 2 in December, so you will have 2 big days to celebrate! Have a wonderful week my dear.
I also prepped 3 weeks of meals for each of my pregnancies AND had a menu plan posted in the kitchen for whoever was helping and in charge that day...yes, I have OCD issues, but everything ran smoothly and we ate well and healthy!
I admire your organizational skills in everything… cooking, gardening, and homeschooling! That pantry is beautiful, I can’t believe that most of that used to fit in your kitchen! Lol
Phew I feel like a total slacker after watching this video! Ur a machine, Jess! Ur family will be so appreciative of all this work to help them! P.s. u look gorgeous!!
I don’t have meat containers, so I write the recipe additions on Ziploc bags and make them about six at a time. I place those Sox bags into a gallon Ziploc or a gallon plastic container. When empties, I just refill them. The most helpful mix I make is for my bread machine! My New Year 2025 goal is to cut my bread costs by half-by making better use of my bread machine.
You're so smart getting some mixes on the shelf for breakfast. I make a pancake mix and keep it on the shelf (full of dairy you can't use) because my husband likes to make pancakes from a mix. I keep the wet ingredient list taped inside the cabinet. Been doing this for years. Thanks for the motivation to be prepared, even if I'm not expecting. 😊
Newbie here & am so impressed with your time management & preparing ahead right now. I have to say I can’t imagine 8 children + 1 coming. My first son was born ADHD ( now 57) & at 18 yo it was like having half dozen kids 🤪🤪🤪 not much known back then. You have the patience of a saint. Bless you & your family 😇😇👵🏻❣️
Good luck in this exciting time of your life. I know that this is not your first baby but each and every one is exciting and having things to make life easier is a wonderful idea while nesting. I can't wait to see the new little one. I love your channel and the fact that you allow your children to help even the little ones. It makes them feel important and teaches them life lessons. 😊
❤❤❤ Yes, my daughter has been nesting the last few months n on Halloween 🎃 👻 🎃 my lil Stella Rae will be here 😊😅❤❣️ ... I 🚫 wait 😍🫶🤟💯, she's Big so they're inducing her at 8:30 n doing a C section due to Gestational Diabetes n the insulin 🚫 lowering enough 😢❣️.... They saying she weighs around 9ish lbs already n she's 👀 2X weekly for last month 😮❣️... She's originally due mid November but 😅😂😀... God said Different ❤️🙏❤️ n I'm getting anxious n excited ☺️😆
We enjoy the Kodiak high protein pancake and waffle mix. Since it’s just two of us, the mix lasts a long time. I need, however, to figure out my own recipe.
Wonderful ideas. I know I speak for others that we are excited to see the little one. You are teaching your children so well when you demonstrate your care and provision for them. Valuable lessons in this crazy world.
I absolutely love that you’re preparing so well for postpartum. I know this will help your recovery from the labor and actual birth so you don’t get too overwhelmed. God’s blessings to you and your entire family Jessica. From here in Hillsdale County Michigan!! ( not that far from you I believe).
The muffin mixes are a great idea! I should have done this when my kids were at home and I was waking up early to have breakfast on the table. I have a shelf unit that look similar to yours. I spaced the shelves out when assembling for maximum jar storage and I keep forgetting to cut a piece of ply wood to screw into the top for extra space. I don't have an Adam and really dislike the circular saw, maybe I can get Home Depot to cut it for me. Best of luck with these last few weeks of baby growing - perfect time to hunker down in the chilly winter and have lots of snuggles.
Thank you for your insights into having breakfasts ready to go! You will be so ready for baby #9 and after his/her arrival the family will definitely be a huge help to you. God Bless you all!
I am writing down these recipes and putting the dry ingredients into jars. Dried powdered eggs are on my shopping list but not purchased yet. My stove is currently out, so I am using cast iron on my grill. I think that this will be a perfect opportunity touse my new cast iron muffin pan using indirect heat. Fruit muffins and corn muffins are wonderful for breakfast. Thank you for a great video. You have made your recovery time and your family's meals as prepared as possible. God bless you and your family.
The quick mix for muffins is so convenient. I’m an empty nester but having that mix would be great for breakfast on a busy work week. I could use up the frozen berries and gain some freezer space.
Cinnamon: I use Saigon cinnamon but any cinnamon will do. Nutmeg: This recipe is written for pre-ground nutmeg. If you use freshly ground, then you’ll need to adjust the quantity by half or even 2/3rds. Fresh nutmeg has a completely different and wonderful flavor but it is stronger. Allspice: Allspice is a powerful spice. She will take over all the other spices if you let her. I always use allspice with a light hand. She pairs beautifully with apple Apple Pie Spice Prep Time: 5 minutes Serves 8 This easy homemade apple pie spice is perfect for fall baking!

Jessica I always look forward to enjoying your videos. Your preparation is definitely a blessing for your family. Hannah approved of the juice - you have a beautiful little supervisor there😊
Jar meals that I always used, if i'm sick or when I had a baby, is beef stew and turkey gravy That's something that my entire family will eat every Single day for every single meal if they have to.
Thanks Jessica❤ Prayers for you and your family. Thank you for sharing all of your precious time and ideas with us! You can’t imagine how much I’ve learned from watching you! My vinegars - apple and nectarine - are a hit with family and friends! Your inspiration and watching you work with and for your beautiful family is truly God sent. Blessings🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻
The picture of steaming pancakes in the morning is WONDERFUL! Great art involved Green eggs and ham can now be green cookies and ham - I can't wait to surprise mine! Thanks for another GREAT video - always easy and informative and pretty! I'm going to gift my granddaughter a whole bunch of frozen breakfast cookie dough for her kids that would love the surprise and the lesson. I know she/they will appreciate this!
Making mixes ahead of time is a great idea! I used to do that more when our children were young. Very convenient to have on the shelf. Thank you for the recipes! ❤
Good morning 🙏😊 I absolutely love these recipes! Great ideas for being prepared and for teaching children how to bake and also ready mixes for anytime you need a quick delicious meal or snack! Have a blessed week and looking forward to meeting your newest addition to your family. 🙏🙏
What a sheer JOY you are on Sunday's videos. Prayers that everything is in place before the new little one arrives. We ADORE your prepping lessons, Jessica you are AMAZING!!!! Thank you for taking us along. ❤
What a great idea for small batch recipe makers, also! Great to UA-cam check in with you. We are downsizing and moving to the city, so I haven't been watching homesteading channels as much. BEST WISHES ♡
Our adult son lives with us. He has a milk allergy, not anaphylactic though. He does feel very miserable and has significant issues when he is exposed to milk and dairy. I have Celiac disease so cooking gets interesting and challenging at times. I am going to have three surgeries over the next several months. I’m preparing meals and mixes to make meals easier during my recovery. So much like you preparing for postpartum as it is really your only choice. I’ve been inspired by your preparations. I have canned for many years but rarely the variety you describe. I’m grateful to have a freeze dryer to preserve so much. My son loves having breakfast burritos on hand in the freezer . My husband enjoys them too even without the cheese. I wish you all the best as you continue to prepare for the arrival of the baby.
Have you tried the non dairy cheese products? Or nutritional yeast? The yeast adds a cheese flavor to foods. You can get an idea on how it tastes by putting some on hot popcorn..
I LOVE these breakfast ideas, thank you! Jessica, you’re looking exceptionally beautiful. Third trimester looks great on you. Prayers and blessings for continuous good health for you and baby 🙏🏻
Wow. Your energy level amazes me Jessica ♥️. These are even perfect for the upcoming season, easy. Breakfasts for storm days and things need to be shoveled out which is tiring on its own so no need to pull it all out, just open that jar. I’ve been shoveling for years and don’t feel spending money on a snowblower a necessity- I’ve many hand crank kitchen items too FOR winter as we lose power a LOT and times for many days in a row. Thank you for sharing these. Most enjoyable coffee time is Sunday morning with you 😊🤗. We all love how you do these videos, some of my friends have a few others they watch too saying most of the channels, they act like tv shows and shows they watch too many cooking shows 😂😄. You look fantastic dear. 🥰
For pantry mixes, a vintage cookbook entitled "Make a Mix Cookery" by Karine Eliason, Nevada Harward, and Madeline Westover saves me tons of time in the kitchen. It's still in print, and no wonder. By the way, you make the best videos while nesting. :)
Thank you for this video and I am retired and I still have to do meal plan , because I still work and blessing to you and your family with the new baby ❤
Love watching your videos getting new ideas for meals for my husband and myself. Going to use your juice idea for my granddaughters introduction to juice.
You’re in my prayers Jessica. And all the family as well. I love the juice idea. Cranberry with any fruit is so good and healthy benefits. You just make life so easy for whoever helps you. Always a blessing for others ! ❤
I just figured out I’m due the same week you are and I’m just really getting into canning this year. Thanks for the motivation to put some more things away and wait to use the convenience food!
Having food allergies here, especially gluten and dairy, watching your videos gives me ideas I hadn’t thought of before. I’ve only had to watch food ingredients for about 7-8 years. After many years of cooking without limitations, it is a new learning curve. But even without that, I enjoy watching your videos. You present food prep without fear tactics. (I know we should always be prepared for anything, but some people make you think doomsday is tomorrow. You feel you need to drain your bank account and buy whatever you can now). I’m working on the no excess empty jars myself. We’re doing some remodeling and it gets a little messy at times. Soon my permanent food storage area will be in place. My goal is the one year food rotation, make what you’d eat in a year then replace when you get enough empty jars.
People say its so expensive to eat a special diet but i don't agree with that. Since having to eat gluten free i don't eat any processed food and i dont eat out. Everything is cooked at home. Junk food is pretty much non existent. Yes store bought gf food is expensive but honestly homemade tastes better (except for gf oreo cookies those are pretty good). Whole food is gluten free, i do find myself watching street food videos, deep fried batter coated slathered with sauces with unknown ingredients as i head to the fridge for carrot sticks.
@@lynhanna917 it’s bread that is the hardest to deal with. We don’t eat gluten free bread often or even make it because it’s not like regular bread no matter how you make or buy it. But I miss eating hamburgers without a bun or some good toast with homemade jam.
Hi Jessica. I haven't been here in a while, but am happy you are almost ready for #9. Hannah is so big! Your meal prep for post-partum is terrific as usual. I wish you the best, Adam too. God Bless You all
Great video! My husband and I are expecting our first child early next year. I have been trying to get everything canned up in to meals. This is another thing I will add to the list.
Jessica I simply love and feel blessed with your channel. You really look fantastic with your pregnancy I am new to your channel in the last year I have learned so much You are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your life. I’m so blessed by you 😊
Always appreciate your videos and learning so many great ideas! Thank you for sharing the recipes as well! Blessings on your family and your growing homestead Jessica! 🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕👵
It's very exciting that you are now close to delivery! I've been actively been watching your channel for three years, and even I can't believe how the time has gone by. I'm sure much more that we who are watching! Such a special time coming up soon!
People don't understand that if you react to nuts and seeds it is all nuts and seeds and the oils that are made from said nuts and seeds. I went to a pot luck with my best friend who said she brought the salad, and said it's safe for you to eat! As i was putting it on my plate i realized that it could be the Costco bagged salad. So i asked my friend who said yes! I asked what did she do with the packet of seeds and fruit. She said she mixed it in the greens. I put the spoon down and went to eat the only safe food on the table, the dish i brought, my friend said the salad is safe and i said no it isn't there are nuts and seeds in it. The only true safe food is one that you make, where you have read the label. Its been ten years since i ate in a restaurant and when i go to friends houses i take my own food.
Amazing prep to ensure the home runs smoothly when the baby arrives. Hannah is turning into quite the little helper. Take good care of yourself Jessica.
The baking mixes are a brilliant idea! How long will they last before they should be used? (Probably not a problem for your large family, but for a smaller family who wouldn't use them as fast, might be a good thing to know,)
I wish I’d had some more convenience items prepped and on hand when I broke my back a few weeks ago. I’ve had to rely heavily on my daughter to help with meals for our family of 7.
I have a question for you. Where do you purchase your palm fruit shortening? I would like a healthier version of shortening to make pie crusts. I have been watching your channel for a long time and I enjoy your channel so much. It reminds me of my grandmother, as she had 11 children and was always at work in the kitchen canning, baking, churning butter, etc. You are such an inspiration to others, and you have a beautiful family🩷
Loved this Jessica! You always keep yourself busy, busy, and especially at this time with the arrival of the baby coming. Here hoping your week goes well.
No empty space in your pantry, what a wonderful problem to have!!! Miss Elisabeth looks like she's walked out of a Renaissance painting, a classical beauty:)))
Thank you ❤️
I use painters tape to label my containers because it comes off easy and the sticky does not stay on the container.
Great idea!!
I use masking tape for mine
@@lindarichey4689me too
Your generously stocked pantry is a testament to your hard work over the growing season.
I enjoyed this video and I’m praying for you to have a smooth, uncomplicated delivery and a quick recovery. You have such a wonderful family.

I don’t have meat containers, so I write the recipe additions on Ziploc bags and make them about six at a time. I place those Sox bags into a gallon Ziploc or a gallon plastic container. When empties, I just refill them. The most helpful mix I make is for my bread machine! My New Year 2025 goal is to cut my bread costs by half-by making better use of my bread machine.
You and your beautiful family are truly a blessing to all of us. Thank you for sharing your wonderful meals. God's blessings over you all.
You're so smart getting some mixes on the shelf for breakfast.
I make a pancake mix and keep it on the shelf (full of dairy you can't use) because my husband likes to make pancakes from a mix. I keep the wet ingredient list taped inside the cabinet. Been doing this for years.

Thank you Jessica for all your handy tips! May the Lord bless your delivery!
You could use vanilla powder. One less wet ingredient for day of cooking. Also could use buttermilk powder to make buttermilk pancakes.

Love watching your videos getting new ideas for meals for my husband and myself. Going to use your juice idea for my granddaughters introduction to juice.
You’re in my prayers Jessica. And all the family as well. I love the juice idea. Cranberry with any fruit is so good and healthy benefits. You just make life so easy for whoever helps you. Always a blessing for others ! ❤
I bought stickers that easily pull off later. I do the same things for my 2 person home.
I just figured out I’m due the same week you are and I’m just really getting into canning this year. Thanks for the motivation to put some more things away and wait to use the convenience food!
Having food allergies here, especially gluten and dairy, watching your videos gives me ideas I hadn’t thought of before. I’ve only had to watch food ingredients for about 7-8 years. After many years of cooking without limitations, it is a new learning curve. But even without that, I enjoy watching your videos. You present food prep without fear tactics. (I know we should always be prepared for anything, but some people make you think doomsday is tomorrow. You feel you need to drain your bank account and buy whatever you can now). I’m working on the no excess empty jars myself. We’re doing some remodeling and it gets a little messy at times. Soon my permanent food storage area will be in place. My goal is the one year food rotation, make what you’d eat in a year then replace when you get enough empty jars.
People say its so expensive to eat a special diet but i don't agree with that. Since having to eat gluten free i don't eat any processed food and i dont eat out. Everything is cooked at home. Junk food is pretty much non existent. Yes store bought gf food is expensive but honestly homemade tastes better (except for gf oreo cookies those are pretty good). Whole food is gluten free, i do find myself watching street food videos, deep fried batter coated slathered with sauces with unknown ingredients as i head to the fridge for carrot sticks.
@@lynhanna917 it’s bread that is the hardest to deal with. We don’t eat gluten free bread often or even make it because it’s not like regular bread no matter how you make or buy it. But I miss eating hamburgers without a bun or some good toast with homemade jam.
Hi Jessica. I haven't been here in a while, but am happy you are almost ready for #9. Hannah is so big! Your meal prep for post-partum is terrific as usual. I wish you the best, Adam too. God Bless You all
I love making breakfast cookies for my children. My favourite is a carrot cake flavour with a drizzle of icing. 👌🥕
You are an amazing Mom! You are wise to prep ahead, for any scenario. Nice video!
Thank you so much!
Great video! My husband and I are expecting our first child early next year. I have been trying to get everything canned up in to meals. This is another thing I will add to the list.
Oh my goodness Jessica I have not seen your videos and quite some time and didn’t realize you were expecting again. Congratulations!
Jessica I simply love and feel blessed with your channel. You really look fantastic with your pregnancy I am new to your channel in the last year I have learned so much You are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your life. I’m so blessed by you 😊
Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much!!
❤❤❤

God bless.
Always appreciate your videos and learning so many great ideas! Thank you for sharing the recipes as well! Blessings on your family and your growing homestead Jessica! 🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕👵
I cant wait to watch your very real "second" (2 years ago) baby birth video this year ❤ LOVE your channel!
Have a blessed week. Thank you as always. You are looking absolutely radiant ❤
Love these recipes! I need to get a dehydrator….i bet I’d get a lot of use out of it. Prayers for your family and your pregnancy.
It's very exciting that you are now close to delivery! I've been actively been watching your channel for three years, and even I can't believe how the time has gone by. I'm sure much more that we who are watching! Such a special time coming up soon!
People don't understand that if you react to nuts and seeds it is all nuts and seeds and the oils that are made from said nuts and seeds. I went to a pot luck with my best friend who said she brought the salad, and said it's safe for you to eat! As i was putting it on my plate i realized that it could be the Costco bagged salad. So i asked my friend who said yes! I asked what did she do with the packet of seeds and fruit. She said she mixed it in the greens. I put the spoon down and went to eat the only safe food on the table, the dish i brought, my friend said the salad is safe and i said no it isn't there are nuts and seeds in it. The only true safe food is one that you make, where you have read the label. Its been ten years since i ate in a restaurant and when i go to friends houses i take my own food.
Happy Sunday Jessica! Thank you for all the great recipes!!
You are so welcome!
The green thing was cool I didn’t know that I learned something every day
Amazing prep to ensure the home runs smoothly when the baby arrives. Hannah is turning into quite the little helper. Take good care of yourself Jessica.
Boy, that little girl of yours is a knock out! You have very handsome children. They have gorgeous eyes, so expressive. Blessings, all.
Thank you so much!
The baking mixes are a brilliant idea! How long will they last before they should be used? (Probably not a problem for your large family, but for a smaller family who wouldn't use them as fast, might be a good thing to know,)
I’ve seen other homesteading channels use bungee cords across their glass canning jars on the shelves to prevent them from falling off the shelves.
Allergies here too. So grateful for these recipes you shared! Made the pancakes this morning 🤤 thank you!
What a spectacular mom. You are remarkable ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Jessica, you are such an inspiration 👩🌾
Your pantry looks beautiful. Nice recipes.
Thank you so much 😊
Those recipes are wonderful, thank you! You are looking so beautiful. Praying for you and your beautiful family. Val C ❤️🙏🏻
Thanks so much
I wish I’d had some more convenience items prepped and on hand when I broke my back a few weeks ago. I’ve had to rely heavily on my daughter to help with meals for our family of 7.
Oh, no. I hope you are healing well 🙏🏻
I have a question for you. Where do you purchase your palm fruit shortening? I would like a healthier version of shortening to make pie crusts. I have been watching your channel for a long time and I enjoy your channel so much. It reminds me of my grandmother, as she had 11 children and was always at work in the kitchen canning, baking, churning butter, etc.
You are such an inspiration to others, and you have a beautiful family🩷
Little Miss Hannah is a spitting image of you. Ill bet a baby picture of you looks just like her. Adorable!
She definitely favors me!
Great job. You never stop. God Bless you and your family. 💕
God bless you and congratulations on your family’s new baby coming
Loved this Jessica! You always keep yourself busy, busy, and especially at this time with the arrival of the baby coming. Here hoping your week goes well.
You are amazing! We adapted one of your recipes and made a video on it. Thank you!
