Hi juliewebber 😊

We call our canned soups and chili...fast food! I work full time and it's so easy to open up a jar and share it with my husband. I agree Tessie...canning saves so much money. It's actually rewarding! Your pantry looks great. I'm working on my little pantry now. So you know, I watch you everyday. I don't always comment but I always LIKE your videos! YOU motivate me TESSIE!! Keep on keeping on, you're awesome.

🐯 I really enjoy looking at your pantry. So homey looking🐯

Happy Monday Tessie ❤

I see no problem having all the food you have because you are eating it. It is not just sitting there never ever being used. If there ever is a time you guys are snowed in you have plenty of food.

Food storage at this times is very important. What’s coming not good. Do like watching your video’s

Yes, your pantry looks very nice😊

I enjoy watching your new ideas❤

The cloth jar covers used to be very popular on jars sealed with paraffin wax. Over sized jar covers were used to form a semi-jar sock too. - For myself, i used a lot of jar covers when I used pantry shelves to seperate the kitchen from the rest of the living areas when I lived in a small place and space. That and a mix of containers, food stuffs, and other to complete the visual "decor". - Oddly enough, I used a number of jar covers on regular tin cans of purchased goods for visual appeal.

Hi Tessie, I agree, it's a lifestyle.

It's important for all of us to learn more about preserving food and keeping a pantry. Thanks!

I think your pantry is great. I do miss having a big one since my oldest son moved back home. I have food stuck everywhere and am trying to use up more of it to be able to contain the groceries that I have in a orderly manner.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful pantry with us Tessie. Have a blessed day friend

Good Evening Ellie 😊, Blessings, Andrea

I found you because I was looking to learn about canning. You have taught me so much more than that! I 💜 canning now and making bread! Next, I am going to make your onion bread! ❤

I love having home canned goods . But only did enought for a year . But now that I'm 74 I don't do as much . But I buy extra when on sale so will have a safe amount if needed.

I’m with you on this subject. I keep a lot of canned goods and dried goods. I don’t like going to town and sometimes it’s two months before we go. We live two hours from the closest store so it makes sense to me to keep a lot of food on hand. Thank you 🌷🇨🇦

Oh I forgot to tell you all. We were wandering how we were gonna make it through the month. Someone left a basket of canned goods and a few dry goods out in the parking lot. I thought someone accidentally left it so I took it in and the lady told me it was trash. I was like oh! Wow! I saw it as Gods provision for us because we weren't sure how we were gonna get through the month. All the cans except one were in date. We actually got things we needed in that stuff. I was feeling so grateful and blessed. Still feelin blessed.

I like the variety that my storage food allows me. All kinds of beans, pasta shapes, canned veggies, canned fruits, flours & grains, etc... I like to mix & match & try new recipes, along with old favorites!! EG, now in this heat wave, I am making all kinds of salads -- with greens, beans, rice, tabboleh, & dips to accompany them -- hummus, yogurt, sour cream, & pickled veggies -- beets, carrots, cucumbers, pickles of various kinds all to avoid heating up the kitchen!!

You have an awesome storage of food! I wish I had the room! Once I get organized I can probably have more. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you and our friends here.😊❤

I have under the bed storage bins underneath the beds in my 2 spare bedrooms. On my phone under ‘notes’ I have listed what I have in the ‘north’ bedroom and the ‘south’ bedroom so that when I need something I know which room it is in.

I also have a well stocked pantry. Not as much as yours, but a lot non-the-less. The only way I can make sure I don’t run out of something is to have an inventory list. If I use the last or next to last jar, I make sure I can more, especially if it’s in season. You and I are like minded. Thanks for all you do. God bless.

You answered a lot of questions, Tessie. I am glad to see you are still preserving food as a way of life and to save money. We make a good living but we like to can and grow our own food. Good to know you and I are on the same page. Nothing wrong with frugality.

Tessie,have you ever encountered pantry moths thru getting food donations? It happened to me and I've had the worst time trying to eliminate those buggers! Help!

You always do inspire me, give me food for thought and entertain me. Your canning room looks so pretty. It's like a primitive gift shop! And Tessie you always go the extra mile to make things look pretty. I want to make up a batch of bread recipes like your onion bread. Fun video Tessie

Thank you so much!

Good morning sweet Tessie ♥ Food storage is a huge blessing! Yesterday I was watching some news clips regarding Beryl the hurricane I believe. The were showing a grocery store and interviewing the manager. She said she opened like an hour or two early due to circumstances and they showed this huge line and police monitoring to make sure everything was going good. I know that studies show the average American household doesn't have more than a weeks worth of food. I know that people in my family don't and it scares me. I try to stock up on sales when I am able. This year I will be canning food for the first time. I already do jams with water baths but I want to can fresh foods I am blessed with. I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and we can get snowed in during the winter. I want to make sure I have enough food on hand.

I just love looking at your pantry. I truly think it is just so beautiful. I always enjoy visiting your channel. Have a cozy day.❤

Very informative video, Tessie. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 😊

You are a pleasure to watch and learn from. I'm so impressed with you that throughout your videos when you had the hard struggles, you never complained, but you persevered. When there wasn't a way, you found one! You are a blessing to me!

I just looked today and I need to make spaghetti sauce. Something I almost NEVER run out og😊❤❤❤

I grew up with more food prep than many do today. Often it was to take advantage of seasonal produce prices, put up produce from our and other's yards/ gardens, and take advantage of sales/ clearance meats. We generally kept no more than a year's worth of any one item. It has been a practice I've carried on in most of my adult life with one additional goal amd that is to not have to do a grocery store run mid cook; particularly staples like flour, seasonings, sauces, and condiments. As an open container draws down, i write it on the list and start checking the prices at all the stores I go, cast my eye sideways looking for a coupon, and hope for a sale before I have to buy. The replacement may sit in the shelf for a while but often not all that long.

Tessie I would love to see videos on how to make those mixes like hamburger helper, onion bread all types of mixes. 👍🙏🙋🏻‍♀️😊

It’s called Homestead Tessie Exclusive Food. This has her canning list in description

I don't home can, but do freeze things and purchase foods from the store. I used to have TOO much food stored for the same reason you said. Now I don't. Still have some, but more manageable. I have been going through all our food and eating up the older stuff and not replacing as much or as often. I still would say that I have about 6 months worth of food..maybe a bit more, but doing way better at it and keeping it organized better. Enjoying that more. Thanks Tessie for sharing.

everything looks great I don't let people get to me about my storage anymore lol

I think variety when storing is key! No one wants to eat the same thing everyday! The dates on cans from the store are not an expiration date they are a best buy date meaning that date is where they may start losing flavor. I have shelf milk with a best buy of December 2023 and I needed some and didn't want to go to the store. The milk was still fine. Remember in all the doomsday movies when someone comes across a can of fruit or veggies they are excited and don't look for a best buy! and if you are still in doubt google what best buy means. Food use to have expirations to make people throw it out and buy more and the people that be caught on and made them change it to a best buy instead. From what I understand the only thing you need to worry about the best buy is on baby formula and food. Thank you for sharing Tessie! Stay blessed!

Looks good Tessie. I go through my food also. I thought I was almost out of tomatoes, I put up 22 qts. and about 12 pints and a couple of half pints. I'm glad I had a few left but it surprised me that I had some. I kept a list of what I put up but never wrote down when I took out. When making soup I just go down in basement grab whatever I need. Its so wonderful to have on hand and its fresh. You can't beat that.

Thanks Tessie. I love your pantry

Food storage is good to a point. Job loss, medical bills happen , no vehicle working . That’s just to name a few. But, you can go over board stocking too much that it goes bad. Dry good such as beans that last years properly stored, rice wheat berries, oatmeal, corn meal stuff that if stored properly is good long term . Canned goods yes but not as much or as long term like the dry goods. You can make bread and pasta if you learn and have too. Bread machines are good . But learning to make bread by hand is good as well. Learn to make gravy in case you want it and don’t have a packet. It’s healthier. The list goes on. Just because you know how does not mean you have to do every single thing from scratch 365 days a year. But it’s nice to learn just in case you have to. Garden if you can. It saves money and is better than store bought a lot of times. ❤ great video.

Good Morning Tessie, Sisters, Brothers, and Friends, Wish you all a wonderful blessed Tuesday filled with Gods Joy and Happiness :-) Remember to pray for one another and for all around the world :-) God Bless You ! Love you all :-) Keep Smiling be safe :-)

Sooooo not on time today. Getting stuff done around the house and time got away😊❤❤❤

thank you for the 'ring' information. I did not know that and I was wondering why you didn't have rings on your jars/

People get crazy with expiration dates. I don’t worry about it I do the sniff and taste test. I eat things well past the date. I agree with you Tessie.

Good morning!

Thank you Tessie great ideas ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

I’m so glad you’re not afraid anymore. When I subbed you were having a very hard time with your channel. I have learned so much from your channel and I really appreciate you ❤

It was a friend who made me realize the importance of having a pantry/food storage that was uniform in looks, where ALL the canned foods are on open shelving where I can see and grab an item with no effort. Before that, I would forget where this and that canned item was at. And sadly, I would end up dumping food. Dumped food is $$$$ dumped.😞

I'm glad to see you canning. A few episodes ago, I thought you were done. These are not the times for stopping. Slowing down, yes. Enjoyed this video.

Food storage is important. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks for sharing Tessie it refreshed my memory on a lot of things have a nice day ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE your apron! Your outfit is so cute!

Everything looks great ❤

We like to jar (can) soups, beans, stew, potatoes, pickles, tomatoes; well just about everything. Thank you for the content.

Hi tessie. Great video on canning ❤❤

Love these kinds of videos. Thank you, Tessie ❤

Your pantry looks so nice! Thank you for sharing your wisdom! ❤️

I have lots of food storage as well. I make the roll mix also but in pints since it's often just me. Loved your video on this. The book you used finally became available, and I bought it.

I love the idea of like the servants quarters and the main servant woman, I cant remember what that woman or man might have been called. If it wasnt head housekeeper then I dont know. She would check her larder and do an order and then lock it up. Servants were very proud of their loftier positions. Im like I dont care about those above stairs, but the lowly servants and how they made it through. Those are interesting stories but only if they are clean, modest without any of the crud that comes with wordly shows.

Hi everyone 😊

You inspire us all. Thank you. ❤

I do love Tessie time

Hi Tessie!! What an inspiring video!! Your food storage/pantry looks incredible!! Makes me want to try harder on mine!! Take care sweet girl ❤😊

HI, Tessie. I really appreciate your perspective about food storage-sharing this. You're right. It is a way of life, and by having a well-stocked, working pantry, we're ready to handle the current challenges (and whatever the future may bring). In the past, I've done a few pantry challenges for fun, and now, I keep those tips in mind to maintain my pantry. I also plan to hang a copy of my inventory on my shelving so I know what homemade mixes I have, what is on hand that's home canned or store bought, and, no matter who goes to the store, we're not overbuying one item while depleted of another. Is that book still available anywhere? It looks like an excellent resource. Have a blessed day!

Hey Tess, your counter top looks blue today but i thought maybe it was the lighting?

This was very educational. Thank you!

My caregiver is constantly asking me about my food storage and asking me, is it still good? It's past its Best Buy. Is it still good? How long does your kind food that you can't last and I'm always telling her it's fine, it's good it's on a rotation.😊

I'd like a book like that :) Maybe you could make one. Or some worksheets and inventory templates. Thank you!

I always wanted to can but was afraid I would poison someone!!!

Nice video

Phew! At last, you've realised that you don't need to hoard.

I grew up with home canned food. Nothing like those home canned green beans in the winter when there are no fresh beans from the garden. Would please consider doing a video on how to make those seasoned rice mixes and hamburger helper? They sound amazing. God Bless.

Tessie you should not stack your canning jars of food. They should be in a single layer. It could result in having a false seal on the jar underneath.

If i had the space hete in my home in England 🇬🇧 i would can and store food.

Have you thought about organizing your food somewhat alphabetically? Is that even possible or practical? Is there any significance to the key around your neck?😊❤

Have you ever had trouble double stacking your canning jars? I’ve heard you’re not supposed to do that but I see you did and you have a successful canning pantry so I thought I’d get your advice.

I love this video! Do you have recipes for some of your canned dry mixes like hamburger helper or the onion rolls? I'm a teacher with kids in sports. I'd love to make some of these jars to have on hand for the busy football season coming up. Thank you!
