My husband lost his job once, and we lived out of my pantry for three months. I had custody of my brothers kids at the time, so there were 8 of us. Things got really interesting towards the end of the three months; we were having some really interesting combinations for meals, but we made it through.
It's amazing some of the weird and wonderful things you make when you need to! Hope you're in more stable place now
Wow ❤
❤
You should write a book!
❤❤
This is off topic but as a UA-cam mother I need to applaud you and Josh. Never do you expose your child to the dangers of social media. Though you show glimpse of your life you're still so private and well put together. I've loved following you from the very beginning all the way to now. Not only have you taught me so many wonderful thing's but my girls love to watch you and are retaining all the beautiful knowledge you put out. Thank you for being you and never changing to fit the world's agenda. ❤
Totally agree 💯
My sister, who never cooks, doesn't know how to cook, and never WANTS to learn how to cook, ran across your channel and has become obsessed with watching you. She's always telling me what she's seen you do on your channel like you're her new best friend. So, I trekked over here to get a look, and this is my first video of yours. I'm just incredibly amazed at your organization and all of the food items that you've been able to put up for your pantry! I'm really looking forward to watching more and I'm sure that I will learn an amazing number of things from you.
Becky, fill your empty jars with water. If you lose power often it will save you in an emergency, allowing you to have water for cooking, cleaning, chickens and dogs. You can also fill your toilet tank with it so you can flush. A full jar takes up the same amount of space as an empty jar. You use your canned food often enough that you will always have fresh water as you empty them, and you can often enough that you will cycle through the water filled jars so the water doesn’t get stale.
That’s an excellent idea I never thought of. Thank you!
Yes. Excellent 👌👍 idea!
Doesn't she have a well, I think she does.
@firequeen2194 it's really good when others suggest something different that you hadn't even thought of.
Pressure can or water bath water? Or neither? Can used lids be used?
Being a prepper doesn't always mean you are preparing for the end of the world! Sometimes having extra in case of a job loss, tornado, hurricane, power outage, etc., just makes sense. Of course, it's great to have your own canned fruits and vegetables any time!
I love watching your videos but was dismayed to hear it sound like you were dissing on possibly being considered a prepper. Unfortunately, the term "prepper" has a bad connation when it shouldn't. It really is just being prepared which is what you actually are doing!
I agree. And 2020 kind of highlighted the value in being prepared. I worked at Walmart when that happened and I well remember the empty shelves, customers actually fighting over pallets of toilet paper and the anxiety of wondering if I'm going to have enough food for my pets.
I remember tearful senior citizens thanking me/the store for opening up an hour early once a week to allow them to shop in an unrushed atmosphere and full (as possible) shelves.
Ha! In 2020 remember a neighbor calling me up to see if I wanted to split a giant package of toilet paper, as an 18-wheeler had just arrived at Home Depot with a truck load of toilet paper! I didn't even know Home Depot sold toilet paper. I was able to say, "Thanks, but I'm good." I had extra already set aside. Should a crisis occur, don't be down to your last.....anything, can of soup, etc.
@@robhay57
The crazy ones give being prepared for regional disasters a bad name.
I completely agree! If I happen to talk about my pantry (which I don’t often do) I’m usually asked if I’m a prepper in a very sarcastic way. I always explain to those people that we live in an area that can get a lot of snow and power outages (Northern Michigan). I don’t have to prep for an apocalypse. There are many other very realistic and reasonable reasons to prep. 2020 is a pretty good example. We coasted through the lockdown when a lot of people struggled to find the things they needed.
I remember last year when you were busy stocking your freezer with meals so that you could just focus on your new baby. What really brought stocking up home to me was when you and Josh got snowed in, yet you were still able to feed your family excellent meals. I even remember you mentioning how Josh was so amazed that you did not lack for anything while you were not able to get out - in fact, you were thriving! I very much enjoy watching your journey. So impressive!
Becky, your downstairs pantry is an award winner‼️ Your pantry is a reflection of the heart and soul you put into your garden and preserving your harvest. You are a lovely person and I am learning so much from you. 🤗
This is absolutely why I follow you, Becky. Preserving out of joy and abundance, rather than fear and scarcity. Preparedness without the “Prepper” mentality.
If you get the chance, canning chunks of beef (not ground) in beef broth is a great base to make beef stew or soup. It can be seasoned or not prior to canning. Just add vegetables or noodles, and spices to make whatever you’d like. Pressure canning tenderizes tougher cuts of meat and is one more way to use beef.
I do the same with venison.
I love beef and dumplings (like chicken and dumplings but with beef) better than chicken and dumplings.
I preserve beef in chunks without the broth - the meat releases its’ own juice during the canning process. It’s then easy to add to a variety of dishes, whether it’s soup or rice pilaf or anything else your heart desires.
I second this comment! Canning chicken, pork & beef couldn’t be easier and so fast for making dinner in seconds when you forgot to plan ahead.
True… I don’t like ground beef pressure canned but I do a lot of beef roast in chunks pressure canned with only salt and is delicious… I even made beef stew with it and my husband love it… I didn’t tell him is was the preassure canned beef 😂😂😂
Becky for your mock pineapple, there are some really delicious carrot cake/muffin recipes that call for crushed pineapple! That would be a nice way to change up the flavour!
Becky you could also use mock pineapple in a pistachio salad. It's easy and really good. My family we have it for the holidays.
I use crushed pineapple in my carrot cake recipe. It’s a game changer and so decadent!
I was thinking the mock pineapple would be good in recipes with a sweet and sour flair - as an ingredient or a condiment. I'm thinking as part of the sauce over chicken meatballs, or stuffed in chicken breasts and baked, or in rice with the home canned tomato juice. These are just ideas off the top of my head because, like Becky, I feel recipes are often just jumping off points and ideas!
Becky, try your mock pineapple on your homemade pizza …. Also could be used on a summer salad.
I like coconut and chicken curry. I think the mock pineapple would be good in that.
You remind me so much of myself when I was your age. We built our log cabin, gardened, picked berries, canned and froze my produce. I cried the year we lost power for 7 days and lost 18 lbs of frozen blueberries. We cut, stacked and burned 12 cords of wood each year. I did all this while working a full time job outside my home. I am heading towards 72 and life is scaled back now but I still grind my own meat and make cat & dog food and can jams. If I can give you one piece of advice, it is listen to your body. Don't push yourself physically. I thought I could work right along with the men. However, I am paying the price now physically. One hip replaced, another on the way and the worst was a complete reverse total shoulder replacement. Would I change my life, absolutely not but I would work smarter not harder.
You should be proud of all you have accomplished and especially your food independence for your family.❤
As an Australian, I am just amazed at the amount of Ball jars you have! They are so expensive and difficult to get here, especially the plastic lids and other accessories. Such a pain for those of us who would like to make even small amounts of things like jams and sauces.
Becky, you are a prepper. Maybe not for WSHF (lol), but you prep. When you do what you do, you are prepping. I love it.
Exactly! I was trying to post the same comment, but YT blocked it. Pay attention to what's happening around the world and everyone should be preparing!
What a beautiful collection of lovely home made produce. Well done Becky, we see the hard work you put in. 🙂💛
What an amazing job Becky!! To think that you single handedly made all of those items from farm to table is incredible! You should be so proud of all of your accomplishments!!
During covid, my husband was working so much, and I started to watch your channel. I was able to get a bunch of staples dehydrated and a bunch frozen. I still haven't canned anything but soon. Well, this year, he lost his job, and I was able to keep our family feed with frozen meals and dehydrated items for a good 6 weeks.
I just love seeing your real life journey. No pretence at being "perfect", knowing everything there is to know. You're a young woman, and it's realistic that you're learning. And I feel like I'm learning along with you.
? I’m 69 years old and have never canned ,,was always afraid of poisoning. Your ahead of the game=..be proud 😊
Woot woot! Shes doing great!
You can store wine bottles in a wood crate, like what you’re all ready using, on their sides for temporary storage. You can put on a shelf or stack outside of shelving unit to save space.
That way Josh can do chicken coop project.
Also cut pvc pipes to fit your wine bottles, and stack in the crates too.
I was thinking just use some bricks on each side and stack the bottles on top of each other. It’s a cheap and quick temporary fix.
Becky, I can’t tell you how impressed I am with your pantry! It looks great so organized and you and Josh have a storage of wonderful homegrown food. You are a very talented cook, baker, gardener and provider ❤
The mock pineapple can be a topper for ice cream, flavor yogurt or cottage cheese. Use on pizza or Hawaiian chicken. Anywhere you would use regular pineapple!❤️
Oh my goodness, using it as a pizza topper is such a great idea! My son loves Hawaiian pizza. He’d go nuts for this. ❤
Mine turned out horrible🤣
I want to make this next year. I use pineapple in “sourkraut” (pickled cabbage) I want to try and see if this will taste good in this.
Sweet in sour everything
Muffins
Thank you, Becky. Don’t ever apologize for anything here. You do an amazing job. Things just happen sometimes. ❤
My cousin uses tomato jam to top her meatloaf. She said it’s the only way she uses it and it’s delicious.
Hi Becky, what a beautiful pantry and garden you have. I'm so jealous. I'm an old lady now and not able to garden. I still do a little canning. Anyway, I wanted to tell you that corn relish is absolutely wonderful with heavy Italian dishes. It cuts through the fat. Good job on everything you do!!!
Hi Becky! I actually sent you a wine rack, I hope it helps with freeing up a shelf for you! Today I’m working on getting my freezer meals prepped. I’m doing your enchiladas, meatballs, lasagna and then I cooked up some taco meat to throw in the freezer! 😊
Aww that's sad she isn't using it. Did she, at least, send you a thank you letter?
That was really kind of you. Hope you had a wonderful day cooking! Happy holidays x
@@amandamiller82 I just recently sent it! She may have recorded this before she got it 😊
She also, in the past, has been known for holding onto gifts and not opening for a while. Hopefully she sees this and opens 😊
@@sprtsgrl94 I think she recorded this before Thanksgiving.
Actually bruschetta consists of grilled bread rubbed with garlic, topped with olive oil and salt.
The recipe from Ball is titled 'bruschetta in a jar'. A bit of a misnomer on their part.
Nicely done. Congrats on getting it like you wanted; we remember how you were seriously working on it and it looks great 👍
Could you use your mock pineapple with cottage cheese on a lettuce leaf for a quick salad? What a beautiful and useful pantry! What's great is we were with you when you canned most of the products--and when you planted and eventually harvested most of the food items. It was a terrific year, I enjoyed every single video. Thank you!
Loofa (cee gwa) seeds are available from Kitazawa. They are ok zone 7 and higher. You will need to start seeds 6-8 weeks before your last frost date on a heat mat, It likes 80 degrees. It is a vine. There are two types. Ridged or smooth. Cee gwa can be eaten like okra when it is young. It is mucillagenous so it can be used in stir fries and soups. It can be dried bleached, seeded to make sponges. It needs 70-90 days. You don't have to plant a lot of vines. One vine makes a lot. You can make your own Tabasco sauce as well. You have a lot of sauces and that makes putting meals together easy. I agree you should set up the pantry the way it works best for you. If it was me, I too would set it up differently because I would want the onions, garlic, stored produce, marinara, sauces, and broth closer since I would go there more often and I would have the condiments on the other side because I would not need to get more than one of those at a time. I don't have that much storage space and I don't try to store everything for a year, but I still find it hard to find things, so I have inventory lists on my cupboard door with expiration dates. It makes it easier to find something instead of taking everything out and the expiration dates tells me at least what needs to be used first. I don't have the option to spread things out like you can. Having a list of what I have can help me figure out what my options are for meal planning. I have the grocery list on the refrigerator. Pineapple can be used in a lot of ways. Jello salad uses canned pineapple. Pineapple on ham, Pineapple habanero sauce. Pineapple mellows the habanero so the sauce only has a hint of heat. Many sweet sour Chinese sauce has pineapple. You can add pineapple to salads and savory recipes. Pineapple muffins and bread recipes, Pineapple popsicles, Pineapple juice in ketchup, pineapple salsa, People do put pineapple on Pizza, but I don't like it. Pineapple preserves, and cole slaw. It is nice to have a large pantry. Your upstairs pantry is about the same length as my galley kitchen. I have to store a lot of my baking , appliances, and serving dishes in another room.
And would be lovely on the arches!
@@Leslie-wb8cb Right. She did not have much luck getting the vines to climb, but cee gwa and other vines usually need to get started on a trellis and a little maintenance to keep the vines from straying even when they have climbing tendrils. Those cattle panels should work very well for vines.
If I may make a suggestion: consider the shelving and what would happen during a somewhat shallow 15 second moderate earthquake of local magnitude 5.0. You can either bolt 1.5” high slats of 1/2” wood to the fronts at each end of the rack, or, less pretty and more expensive is bungee cords stretched between the ends of the racks. I’m probably 30 miles south of you. I even put my commercial racks on wheels. The Cascadia Subduction Zone should be taken seriously. One good jolt to, from, or each of other ways can result in instant disaster.
I just put up slats in my pantry... I'm ~90 miles south of Acre Homestead...we were at the epicenter of a 4.4 quaker Nov 2022. ...was fortunate to have no jars come off the shelves at that time but not counting on that happening again.☺️ Becky did say they are putting up bungee cords after the tour.
She said her husband is putting bungi up when her video is done.
@@hillarywright7965ahh, thanks. I didn’t see the whole video, had to run across the street to help my neighbor with his bum leg from surgery last week.
@@cajbafnobody hangs on every word and memorizes it quite like you donna😉
The first thing she said is her husband is....🙃
The tomato jam I’ve enjoyed was in a sandwich. You get that intense tomato flavor without the mess of tomato slices falling out or making the bread soggy.
It’s great on a winter BLT ❤
Brilliant! 💡
Looks great Becky! You should show us what it looks like at the end of winter so we can see how much was used, might help you decide how much to plant before actual planting!
A pantry tip I use is to have a small empty tote and funnel for refilling. I put the rice, bean or pasta jar or vinegar bottle in the tote so it catches any spills, especially rice. It's so much easier than sweeping it up 😊
Hey Becky just a thought! I think it may be a good idea to cover your upstairs window with a light-weight covering as the direct sunlight may have a detrimental effect on your food storage.
I watched the whole video before you had to re-upload. I came back just so I can give it a like! Love watching your vids.
You know what sounds dreamy to me, that you might enjoy? What if you made your upstairs pantry partially into canning supplies. The jars/rings/lids, and maybe frequently used pots or canners . I feel like it would make the process of doing all of the canning so much simpler.
Just make a spreadsheet with your inventory listed, then have a link on your phone, when bring up any canned item, deduct that one from spreadsheet. You can even keep track of the date to see your time progression of consumption.
Hi Becky, hi friends! Enjoyed listening to the audio while Christmas cleaning and decluttering
I really enjoyed your pantry tour Becky. And your info on canned meats brought back memories from my mother-in-law.
She introduced me to canned chicken, which was wonderful. Yum.
But the best tale was one from 1943 during WW II. Father-in- law was serving overseas and stationed in England. A pig was butchered on the farm at home, and mom fried up a huge amount of chops. She layered them in a pail( food grade) with hot rendered lard between layers. And sealed the pail with a lid.
Next she posted the pail to dad overseas. On arrival he was the most popular soldier on the entire base!
I love everything this story represents.😊🇨🇦
Very nice collection of edible things in jars.
It's interesting how gardeners can turn into homesteaders with the right team of people... and then from there, people can become generally adept at proper nutrition as well.
Maybe you could consider getting a freeze dryer. And if you freeze a lot of things, it really is great to use a vacuum sealer to almost eliminate any freezer burn.
Hi Becky I think the tomato jam would also work well on a charcuterie board with cheese. P.S. Wondering if you will be releasing your freezer bread product recipes from your recipe testing. Love your channel. 😊
I thought that too!!
Thank you for making these videos. I’ve been very blah the last year that I kind of let my future goals get out of my sight. As I’m entering a new chapter in my life it’s nice to see these because it refuels those dreams again ❤️
Great job!! This brings me so much joy makes me excited for spring.
95%...I just made that percentage up 😂😂😂😂😂 I died laughing when you said that. Becky you are amazing and I love that you do all this stuff because this is something that I want to do. you do all the work and we get to learn from you...just amazing!!! Thank you!!
Becky! Awesome job organizing your pantry & basement storage!👏🏻 You should be so proud of your accomplishment! Cheering you on!🎉 Will be anxiously awaiting your freezer tours! ❤
Wow, your pantries show how much work you put into keeping them! Way to go, Becky! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗💗🇨🇦
AMAZING, your hard work has paid off beautifully!! You are such a joy
Love how all your hard work is beautifully displayed! Loved your tour❤️
Redoing my pantry this week. Thanks for the suggestions and inspiration!
Hi Becky. My sister and I both watch you daily and we came across your site separately. You have encouraged me so much. I’m a girl who loves bulk cooking but you have moved me to expand even further. You’re a calming person and someone that I look up to. Your family is delightful. Thanks for sharing your story with me from Lyn 🇦🇺
Love, love, love your focus on canning safety!
Your pantry is amazing! Thanks for giving us a tour!
What an amazing pantry Becky! So diverse and organized! Your hard work has paid off. I’ve gotten gifts of homemade canned goods and they’ve been my favorite. I’m not a canner but your videos are inspirational.
Glad to see the re-upload. 😊 Thanks didn't wanna miss a video.😊
So amazing Becky! So many hours of love and labor has gone into your pantry. I really enjoy watching your videos and have learned so much! Thank you for sharing!💕
Becky, I have enjoyed following you on your journey. Thank you for taking us with you! I look forward to continuing the journey with you.
Hi Becky! Commenting on the pineapple..if you have never had pineapple pudding you really should try it. It’s the easy recipe too start by using vanilla wafers and pineapple chunks layering in at least 2 layers. Then according to how much you’re making. Then use a large vanilla pudding, make using directions on the box. Then instead of letting the pudding set, add a small tub of whipped cream to the pudding, stir, then pour the pudding mixture over the pineapple and wafers. The puddin* should still be pourable right now. Put into fridge and let it chill for around 30 minutes to an hour. Serve. Eat. Enjoy… mmmmmm,mmm,! Lol
Organization goals! Looks so good. Happy Birthday to your baby also! 🎉
Loved this. Can’t wait to see what you use from your pantry in January and February!
I love watching your videos and am so happy you upload daily. Your pantry looks like a dream and your hard work is very inspiring. Thank YOU for being you!
You know how proud I am of you! I’m watching your video and saying “way to go Becky” you have done an amazing job! 👍😘🤗
Your pantry is beautiful. So glad you are expanding your canning knowledge, better safe than sorry, lol! We also freeze most of our veggies now, but when the kids were small, we ate canned corn, beans, and beets extensively. My boys, when they were small, ground all of the flour. I put it in a wire sieve and shook the flour out. Then we reground the pieces that were left, and sifted it again. The flour was what I made all my bread and pie crusts with, and the gritty stuff that was left became cream of wheat. I put it in a thermos container with boiling water, went to bed, and in the morning the kids had hot cereal.
Wow what an amazing pantry Becky!!! I learn a ton from you and enjoy every video you put out. Thanks for all you do and love your channel 😊😊
Beautiful display of all of your hard work! Well done!
Loved this tour! You are one smart cookie! I admire you! Canning and freezing the produce you grow is hard work! My mom did this and I loved her green beans she canned, so much better than frozen or store bought!
Yay! Thank you for reposting!!
Thank you for showing us how it's OK to change things around! I do it as life changes somethings out of our control & have short & long term food pantries are such a blessing!
Excellent job, Becky!! You are coming into your own…good to see your confidence bloom!!
pumpkins are best stored side ways.they are more likely to start going mouldy if stored with the "belly button " facing down & the stem up.i read about this in a gardening book years ago & did my own experiment 2 yrs in a row & the pumpkins stored on their side what I hadn't used lasted nine months & the couple stored belly down went mouldy after 3 months.i hope you find this info useful.
I enjoyed watching your pantry tour.its also lovely to hear what you use your produce for. Blessings for another wonderful year ahead.🌿💚✨🎀🌲
Hey Becky. I use a WonderMill. Love it. Been grinding my own wheat for about 5 years now. Highly recommend.
Becky, you keep me motivated! Plus, your channel is so interesting and positive!
I love your pantry! I could watch this over and over. All the organization makes my OCD happy.
It looks amazing Becky
What a great tour!! Ty
You’re amazing! Loved this and all of your videos! I think I subscribed when you were at 30k. Been a die hard Becky fan ever since! Even my family knows when I’m watching Becky! ❤
This was an amazing tour! Great job!
Thanks for sharing. I have started freeze drying broth in addition to canning. It takes up way less space! When i need broth i just use a tea kettle to boil water, add it to the broth powder and voila!
I vote for the Mocmill! I use it to grind wheat every week and I love how I can adjust the fineness of the grind. It has held up really well for me. By the way, that lemon juice on your shelf is fine for cooking, but not for canning. In order for lemon juice to have the required acidity level it must be "made from concentrate". Lemon juice that is made from concentrate must have a titratable acidity content of not less than 4.5 percent, by weight, calculated as anhydrous citrus acid. Bottled lemon juice is used to standardize acidity. Fresh lemon juice can vary in acidity and is not recommended.
Great job, love to see how much you learned from last year and how confident you are
Thank you for your videos, you are one of my favorite channels!! I love my Mockmill 200 for grinding flour!
becky, if you see this i just wanted to let you know how much your videos have been inspiring me to cook recently. i took on a much more ambitious batch of recipes for thanksgiving this year and a lot of your tips for keeping things clean/organized and making some things ahead really helped me a lot, and i was really proud of the meal i put out! thankyou for doing what you do & happy holidays!☺️
I made her dinner rolls from her website and they were a HUGE hit! They will now be our standard dinner roll for holiday meals. No more store bought ones! They were easy and delicious!
I’ve recently found your channel and I love it. I find myself binge watching. I love the information and your positivity is so comforting (if that makes sense). I am also inspired by your content and desire to do things like you’re doing. Thank you for the gift of you and your channel ❤
I loved how you mentioned how you organized your pantry in a way that’s best for YOU!!🥰🤎
Good job Becky!
Hi Becky love your channel. I saw some of your shelves looking uneven are they bulking down from the weight. Especially noticed it by the beans .Please reinforce all your hard work cause of you I did my garden this yr. I use to plant a lil here and there. But last year I said go big or go home. So I purchased 17 raised beds 4x8x1.i also bought 2 fruit tree and cut them down to knee high to keep them reachable dwarf sized and easy maintain. Omg the abundance was not ready for lol. And already planning next yrs adding 6 more beds.
It's a bit worrying to see the shelves are bowing in the middle under the weight of your jars. Be very careful with that happening. When my family canned 200 jars of peaches 3 years ago and stored them on heavy duty metal shelving, they collapsed and we lost 90% of our work.
I feel the same.
May be the shelves in the frame can be replaced by a thicker plywood. Ofcourse they have to measured and cut to fit inside the metal frame.
those shelves, if theyre the same ones we have, come with a thin particle board. warps super easy and absorbs moisture so can get moldy easy. we just cut 2 ft x 4 ft 1/2 plywood to replace. we also put our heaviest loads along the outer edges of the shelves so the metal frame carries most of the weight. i reallllllly dislike these shelves, to be honest. hard to put together, hard to move, the particle board shelves. i want to sell them and just have a regular 2x4 stud pantry built@@ss-wy3be
@pherhymeswithamc6399 We have the same shelves. They bow so easily and I can tell you, disasters happen QUICK when they do. You can support them or do plywood. But get it done ASAP before they collapse which they will do! All of ours have.
I do remember she noted in the original video of the shelves that these are not her permanent solution, but it is scary to see all that hard work with potential disaster. I think That 1870's Homestead did a support of similar with pieces of 2x4 cut to fit the space between the shelves, then stacked on top of one another. I love to see all of your gorgeous results, Becky!
I love your pantry! As an OG I see so much progress out of your garden and kitchen! You are amazing. Keep being you
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on freezing vs canning. Definitely takes some trial and error! You rock!
Becky I don't like canned ground beef either but cubed beef for stew is great canned. You should also try relish. I made it with cucumbers and my family loves it. Great for summer salads. I've also heard good things about the nutimil grinder. I'm getting one for Christmas ❤
I made the almond cake from the video the other day. It is delicious and fairly easy to make. I replaced the almond flour with cashew flour. I'm allergic to gluten and dairy so I was so happy to see a cake that fits my dietary requirements. I also added a splash of almond extract.
Thank you for sharing your pantry. It looks great and shows all the hard work you put into it.
Excellent video, Becky! Thanks for the tour.
Love your pantries and how you have them organized. Suggestion on the mock pineapple, use it with teriyaki chicken, rice, fried rice
Pantry is beautiful! Gives me peace looking at how organized it is! I can imagine how much peace it brings you! ❤
I appreciate that you talk fast, so much to say, and you don’t bore me! I’m so here for it! Love your videos!
You are so inspirational. I always get so motivated watching you. You are so talented and smart.

Hi Becky, I seen how hard you worked on getting your pantry organized and I think it looks awesome, you did a good job. Thanks for sharing
Amazing! I love watching your progress. IT makes me so happy and inspires me to try canning an d organizing my house lol
Becky, your pantry is beautiful! You stated at the beginning that you don’t grow any protein. I thought that you grew black beans this year. Beans are a wonderful source of protein and full of fiber. I’m wanting to add these to my garden next year.
And of course all plants have protein. Not to mention her eggs. It annoys me when people say protein when they mean meat.
