Cooking from Scratch | Pantry Challenge Week 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Hey friend, week 1 of the #threeriverschallenge is finished. This week, and all month long, I am feeding my family using food that I already have on hand. Fruits and vegetables that I preserved from my garden, meat I have stored in my freezers, and pantry staples that I have will be what I use to create my meals this month. We will be relying on my from scratch cooking to get us through - creativity is going to be very important!
Thanks for being here,

Asa 73 year old I'll tell you you do not want handles on your rolling pin. That way you only use your wrists to roll out dough. With no handles you can put your whole body behind the rolling pin. My grandma taught me this (she was born in 1890). She made 80 pies daily for her restaurant in the 1930s.
Good to know! Wowza! 80 pies a day is amazing!
Yes! I agree!
Great tip! Thank you! 😊
I love to see your flour on clothes. Lol, it reminds me of the years with my mommy. Great video
Kevin said to let you know we appreciate the flowers you sent for him to plant. lol. God bless yall
Loved your video, just now subscribed, got the name from Kevin on Boring channel. I love his sweetheart and his Dad. I’m a grandmother and love to see that people still cook. I’m a country girl all my life and use to garden, canning and freezing. So look forward to watching you. Love because you are not rushing thru the recipes and are doing realistic things.
Delish!! My grandma always made the fried cornbread. We called them corncakes😍❤❤🙏🙏xxoo
You’re so funny! My mother raised four kids. I never once remember her worrying about what any one of cared about what she put on the table. Don’t get me wrong; she was a great from-scratch cook, but she never attempted to please any of us, much less all of us at once! …lol.
So glad Kevin mentioned your channel in his latest video. He says thank you for the flowers! Looking forward to your content.
Thank you for satisfying my 3 yr olds need to watch a video and providing me entertainment at 3 am this night. I appreciate it. (He has woke up crying three times already😢)
Hey, sweet mama. Something that might help with his insomnia, check out baby meditation. Practice talking out a story with him where you go on a little adventure in the darkness in your mind; counting sheep, flying carpet, going to the zoo, etc... and have him tell you things he "sees", what color are the sheep? What animals do you see? What places can you see?, then as he gets used to it, tell him to say it quieter and quieter... then tell him to keep going but only in his mind. ❤ it works with settling them down.
New subscriber! You are such a wonderful mother.
God bless you and your family.
Yummy food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New subscriber here. Love your video!
Thanks so much, so glad you're here!
Your rolling pin has good history, keep it
You are a amazing cook! Your family is very blessed to have you and you blessed to have them. Thanks for sharing with us and God bless!!!😊
That is the biggest compliment, thank you!
Love these videos so much! I feel like I’m always stuck In a rut when trying to figure out what to cook each night for dinner.
I ,too, went through a phase where I made everything out of sourdough- one of my families favorites was grilled cheese with the sourdough bread. It was perfect for dipping in our favorite cup of soup.
Thank you for the sunflower seeds! Kevin will spruce up his beautified homes with them!
Love this yogurt recipe! Thank you!
Yay, so glad to hear!!
Great job. Enjoying your videos and lovely family. Val C
Hi. I'm a new subscriber. Just came across your channel. Everything looked absolutely delicious. So excited to see the rest of the meals you make throughout the challenge.
I have both kinds of rolling pins, and I always use the one with the handles ❤
Me too! 😂
Looks great to me, yummy! I love chicken pot pie. Thank you!
The memories of bread making came back to me after watching your video. A year ago we gave up all bread, pie crust, rolls, tortilla, and other items you make with the sour dough. I gave away my sour dough starter as well. We switched to eating a whole foods diet high in protein and the journey has been wonderful for health as well as weight loss. We do grow a massive veggie and fruit garden in our backyard as well as raise chickens, ducks and quail. I do buy the Aldi's Knock your socks off sprouted bread as it's a very clean ingredient bread. I keep a supply in the freezer for the bread craving or to make a sandwich.
I dont necessarily think that you need a new rolling pin. Just flour your pin, too, when rolling anything out and you’re going to love it more. ❤ First time finding your videos! So fun to see what others are making for dinner!! Thanks for sharing your fam with us! 😊
🥰🥰
I've used both rolling pins with handles, and without. I love the one my daughter got me a few years ago, without handles. I used to end up not using the handles on my other ones, mainly because I'm 62, and my hands start to cramp and hurt badly, when I use the handles, or any peelers, etc. You may want to ask a friend who has a rolling pin with handles, to see if you like it better, before investing in one, or look at thrift stores for one, because they always seem to have them. It's a good idea to keep a list on paper, or in your phone, of items you'd like to find at thrift stores. It's fun to check off your list, knowing you didn't pay full price for things you want to try.
Girl, you need aprons! I never wore one until I noticed I was always getting flour on my clothing. With you making sourdough bread, you'll be using flour a lot! It acts like glue, and can be hard to get out of your clothes, if it gets wet.
I admire all you do, to make sure your family eats good, nutritious meals. They may not notice now, but they will remember all the effort you took to make sure they ate homegrown, home canned or frozen meals. I still remember, and am in awe, of all my mom did to grow, can, freeze, and make nutritious meals for 9 children, my dad, and my "nanny" (great grandmother), who broke her hip and moved in with us to be cared for. Her own children didn't do that! She recovered and flourished, and lived with us for years! My mom had her doing latch hook rugs, to keep her hands and mind busy! I have one of her larger rugs that I remember her making, when I was a young teen!
I love that you have all your children help in the kitchen. I had my 2 girls and 2 boys help me, and now I have my grandchildren do the same. (It takes much longer to get things done, but they are learning, while doing something they enjoy)! My children learned so much about home economics, from being in, and helping in the kitchen. My oldest daughter won the baking contest at the fair, and my oldest son, won second place! I taught them to do laundry, and how to iron! These are skills that both boys and girls should be taught at home! My husband could barely boil water when we got married! Once they got into their young teens, I had them plan and "shop" for 1 meal a week. They needed to check if we had all the ingredients, and write a shopping list, for things we needed. I would take them to the grocery, and they would compare prices, look for sales, etc. These are real life skills they all use today with their families! We don't need to wait on our children, do their laundry, and end up sending them into the world, unprepared and unable to do household tasks! That's not love. Preparing them for a better future is love! You're doing an awesome job!
Found you from the Boring Channel! Thanks for the recommendation Kevin!
I'm glad you popped up on my page. New subscriber here. I enjoyed your cooking style and you do an excellent job explaining what you are doing. Good luck with your pantry challenge.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the video. Very nicely done. You know, you can always thicken your gravy MORE by adding cornstarch and water--even if it was originally made with a flour roux. I do it frequently and never have any taste or other problems. I really dislike a runny gravy with pot pies!
Also, if you make a LOT of homemade tortillas for a large family, you might want to consider investing in a tortilla press--really saves time! I have not seen one for larger flour tortillas, but have not looked hard. If your hubby is handy,, he could easily make one out of wood--just look for a wooden tortilla press online and follow the design--very basic!

I thought about it, but wasn't sure if you should do both. Thanks for the tip!
I really really LOVE the rolling pin without handles. I do have one with handles and ever since getting the other one, I barely ever use it!!
Just found your channel and a new subscriber here! Love how you cook. Gonna look up your sourdough starter and see if I can be successful at it! 🤣
Everything looked delicious Bri. 😊
Me too! Former taco Bell empolyee here too! I too get comments on my burrito wrapping. You are such an inspiration. Hope you all are feeling better. I love your videos.
🥰🥰
Wow this was awesome and I was tired. God Bless you.
I just found your channel and subscribed. I love your easy laid back style!
I have a rolling pin with handles, but I find myself not using the handles and rolling it with my hands on the pin itself. Go figure. As an aside, sometimes when I make rice for a Mexican-style meal, I'll take a jar of chunky salsa, drain it, add water to the liquid to bring it up to the amount I need to cook the rice, and add the liquid and the solids to the pot. It makes a nice salsa-flavored rice with veggie chunks in it.
The handled rolling pins are amazing!!! Its what I use and seems like not as much work to me. Also mine is pretty heavy so it flattens much faster and thinner. Just my opinion. Loved the video!!!
some great recipes great job my friend
I am always looking for new sourdough recipes, thank you so much for sharing how to make sourdough tortillas
That is a nice Dutch oven! It's awesome to see Avery helping you. None of my girls wanted to learn when they were young.
Hi found your channel through three rivers challenge! Im from over in England and we don’t have cornbread with our chilli, I usually do it on rice or a baked potato and with leftovers I usually mix with rice and then roll up in a tortilla. I’m like you I don’t like spicy food but my husband is the complete opposite. Some fabulous ideas to try so thank you, looking forward to future recipes from you 😊
Hope the children and you are all feeling better and back to full health xx
I just found your channel dear, and WOW I’m really impressed with your skills! I love the rolling pin you have. I have a few of the ones with handles and always think I should buy one of those like yours for pasta and such.
Hi Brie, 😊 You Always Make Such Delicious Meals, Desserts...That Look So Yummy!!
Most of the Recipes , I Can`t Eat Being a Diabetic..but Happy to Share Them to Facebook/Newsfeed for Others!!
We in Rantoul, Illinois Missed the Big Snowstorm..& Happy for That, Got 2" but Me I Don`t Want Any Snow lol!!
Take Care & have a Blessed Evening Brie & Family!! ❤ Love Barb from Rantoul, Illinois❣
Thanks so much Barb! We're supposed to get more snow and I'm super excited about it! I love having the kids home for snow days!
Try making some of your cowboy candy with red jalapeño peppers with the seeds removed. It’s milder and I can handle the heat much better than the regular batch I make for my husband.
Your meals make my mouth water!! Yum
I will try that this year, thank you!
Great vlog! Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
Hello, that was quite a wonderful week! I, too, made turkey pot pie for the first time that i can remember. My pie dough was a little thick but it was delicious! This is what i think about the rolling pin with handles. I think it would be something so wonderful to pass down to your kids! Maybe as a gift when they move out on their own, or as a shower gift when they get married. They will remember all the wonderful things that you made with it. Put it on your birthday or Christmas wish list! Maybe get your husband to inscribe something on the handle. Thank you for such a fantastic video! I will be looking forward to what you come up with next! Have a fantastic day!
🥰🥰
I’ve gotten lazy in my old retired age… I process can stew bases with both chicken and beef. The bases have celery, carrots, potatoes and onions right in with the meat. I just dump, heat and thicken and right in my iron skillet, I’ll place canned biscuits on top. Like I said… lazy, but quick and delicious.
Enjoying your video. You are so real a person.
I just recently got into sourdough as well. It’s been so much fun to experiment with. I look forward to seeing sourdough recipes from you. ❤
It has been so fun to try so many new things, we are really loving it! I'll make a sourdough video soon! 🥰
I need to do this!
Even though you made sweet cornbread this southern gal still subscribed. Fun video. I like your relaxed demeanor.
🤣🤣 So glad to have you here, but I'll always sweeten my cornbread! 😉
@ 🤣
I like how relaxed Bri is too. It's calming to watch
Good to see you
My dad was the cook in our family but my mom was the baker
I was 8 Years old before I had store bought bread.
I empowered my niece to cook the Thanksgiving turkey when she was 8 years old .she is in her 30 now
New subscriber here, thanks to Three Ricers Challenge! Like you, I am one who enjoys doubling a recipe and saving one for a busy night. I’m retired now, but old habits die hard… lol.
Oh thank goodness, I am not the only one who gets floured boos when making bread and tortillas 😊
THANK YOU .
I have the French rolling pin too. This year for Christmas, I asked for an antique rolling pin with handles and I love it. It’s much easier to use in my opinion.
❤lifeatthenutthouse
I do have an antique one I decorate with, I should pull it out and use it!
This was an awesome video and the food looked absolutely delicious. ❤
Oops didn't intend to post yet. Those chicken pot pies looked so good. I got rid of my old rolling pin with handles. But everyone feels differently about their rolling pins. The muffins look so good 👍 Blessings friend 😊
Thank you Sally!
Those meals look and sound so good!
Snows pretty. What state are you from? Thanks for listing the whole recipes.
I'm in southwest Missouri
Great video Bri..everything looked delicious !!
I have a French style rolling pin with no handles. Mine tapers more at the end than yours. I got it for a gift and it’s made from a local wood worker. I love it. I had the handles style prior. The handles were clanky. Didn’t live that.
Also make that white chicken chili in the crockpot. I use the rotisserie chicken from Costco when I make it and it being on low all day doesn’t hurt it all. Pretty hands off.
Thank you for the recipies.
Can you do a video on Sourdough discard please. thanks for sharing your recipes
I absolutely will!
Do you have your yogurt recipe somewhere? It’s different from mine and I wanted to try yours. Happy New Year, my friend 🎉
It's in the description, but it's just 1/2 gallon of Fairlife milk, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, and a heaping Tbsp of yogurt. Mix well and use the yogurt function on the instant pot. Refrigerate overnight and it's ready to go!
@@6Heartson6Acres ahh! That’s what I had down from your video today but wasn’t sure if that was it but excited to try. It looked good. Thanks so much!
Keep the one you have I worked in a bakery they hated the handle ones I have a tapered one
I have a thinner no handle rolling pin and a handle one also a marble one .. I like the no handle one best but the marble one is good when you need to dough colder
Hi 👋 beautiful recipes thank you for your videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤xxx
My preference is the non handle rolling pin. I’ve tried both but I can control the pressure better on a rolling pin without handles. Everything look yummy.
Thanks for sharing!
Same with our chickens! We’re only getting one egg per day. Hope they start putting out soon! Lol
I just found you... I want to be you when I grow up (I'm 61 - LOL)
Sourdough tortillas make the BEST quick pizza crusts! In my opinion. 😊
Handles are overrated unless you get a high end one where it’s all one piece. If it’s attached handles, they get loose over time and just end up spinning
Keep your French rolling pin. I use a very thin French tapered pin. Instead, use the money to buy a tortilla press, especially if you eat tortillas often and have a family. Take your tiny dough ball, put it in the press, done. Game changer.
I have tried a tortilla press and didn't love it, maybe I need to try again!
I have my grandma’s rolling pin… with handles and love it !!!
I bought a French version and did not like it… so I have it to a new home ….
Easier to control and use the handle version!!
I have an antique one I use for decoration, I think I'll pull it out and use it next time!
handled rolling pin is easier. I have a small, handmade (Amish) without handles and it has its place on certain things.
Yes I love the pancake shape. My grandma used to called them flapjacks cornbread
I think my mom called them Johnny cakes!
I bought a rolling pin like yours but thinner and i will never go back. I had used the regular one for 30 years and i wish i had converted years ago.
Thanks for sharing!
🙂 Be careful with putting a hot Dutch oven on a cool/cold glass stove top. 🙂 Just place a hot pad down first to avoid thermal shock. Have a nice day.
What kind of food processor do you use? Thank you for this video!
It's a shark, I got it this last year and it works so well!
i love that rolling pin, if you flour it before rolling it will not stick, that is a good quality pin xx
I do like it, I just wonder if I could put more pressure on it if there were handles.
I have a rolling pin with handles and I rarely use the handles I much prefer to push on the roller instead. 🙂
I havveh bot,h rolling pins. Most of t,heh time I grab the one wit,shout handles. I, too, got the handle one for a wedding shower gift back in 1969. It depends on what I am going to use them for that decides which I will use.
I have a rolling pin with handles. I often find myself using mine like you're doing in this video. Personally, I think handles are overrated 😂. Also, I agree chocolate chip sourdough is not good. No one in my family enjoyed it.
I have been looking for a chicken pot pie recipe for the freezer. Did you put the second pie in the freezer after it was cooked?
Yes I did
My rolling pin was passed down , its marble and heavy, I use my old wooden one the most,if I’m not to bold an apron would save your clothes it did mine👍
Ooh, I've never seen a marble one! I know I should have had an apron on, but before it crossed my mind I was already a mess. 😅
@ I know I forget mine , and when i remember “to late”😬
I loved your meals, hope to see you soon
That rolling pin really builds your arms up🤣
I’ve never heard of putting sweetened condensed milk in the yogurt mix. 😮
Makes it so creamy and delicious! Occasionally I just make plain yogurt and sweeten with honey or jam, but we all like it best with the sweetened condensed milk!
@@6Heartson6Acres and it’s OK to put it in before it ferments? I’ve only ever made very basic homemade yogurt. I ferment from 36 to 48 hours because I like to maximize the bacteria, but I’ve never put anything in it before I was done fermenting. is there anything special you have to do to make sure it goes through the process properly?
I don’t know about everywhere but here in Texas we call your cornbread pancakes “hoe cakes”. I’m sure there’s some sort of story behind the name, but I don’t know what it is. I just know that they are delicious!
I baked some sourdough today total fail! You could throw it and hurt someone 😊I’m going to try again new to sourdough!
chickens are the garbage disposals of the world.
Did you put your egg shells back in the carton?
Found you on the Boring channel ❤
I have my moms rolling pin and it has handles and I like handles
Good to know!
What kind of electric griddle are you using?
I am a handle person😊
Just small thought. Wash your chicken you buy from the store before cooking. IT has a lot of add ins.
Just found d your channel
Hi Jennie, so glad to have you here! 🥰
I think when you cook corn batter on a griddle it is called hoe cakes.
Some people have said that, my mom always called johnny cakes.
Give me handles
