As our garden has come in, we have been able to can a multitude of items to put in our pantry. There’s nothing better than our own fresh produce going on the shelf to give us nutrient rich food throughout the year. Check out what we have stocked so far this year, and we expect to do so much more. Diversify your pantry with dehydrated, freeze dried, canned and home canned goods. Do not be afraid of canning your own food. We have lots of videos out on just how to do that. If you’re unable to grow your own food, take advantage of the grocery store, sales and stock up little by little.

Good morning Jill. Nice pantry. Mine is spread out in closets and under beds! I'm working on doing a list and taping it to the various doors, so I know what's on each side of the bed! Plus, I'm including dates canned. I freeze all beans and rice for about 3 days, thaw them, then seal in mylar or in jars. That kills any free loading bugs! Have a blessed weekend
I'm behind in the 365 challenge. Ok, so I'm not even in the race..😆😆 But, I do have stuff that is stocked. Grains, dry beans. I will get there! 😁😁
Thanks for your tour wow what a pantry hope you get much needed rain, in Hudson Valley we are battling smoke from Canada fires need rain also,God bless!
Wow!!! Hi Jill 👋I'm moving in lol 😊your pantry looks awesome 👏(can what you can) I love beets it helps build your immune system and helps with high blood pressure. I love them pickled Okra yummy. 😋The jarred tomatoe sauce is so important to have because tomatoes have lycopene which (prevents prostate cancer) also you cannot have pasta without that homemade tomatoe sauce. The canned sardines are another great pantry item along with all of your other protein choices. I believe it's also important to mention that everyone should make sure they own a manual can opener or two in case the power goes out. I love that you have such a wide variety of options. You're doing such a great job and your videos have given me ideas for my pantry. God bless you and family. 🙏 "It Is Well With My Soul" amen Love ya Jill ❤
I concentrated on collecting onion seeds, coriander seeds, and dehydrated lemongrass and made powder this weekend. I also dehydrated some vegetables taking up space in the freezer. It’s funny how us Texans definitely have the same staples. ❤
We had the most glorious downpour yesterday. I saved a ton of rain water and watered the greenhouse. It cooled off a lot. Praise God!
Awesome pantry!! Great mix of home preserved and store bought. An absolute must!!!!!!
I love your pantry. I've just started your 365 Challenge, but I've been canning a lot since January. 251 pints and quarts of green beans, pink eyed purple hull peas in freezer, corn, tomatoes, blueberries, juices, meats, broth, soups, stew, dried beans, pickles, salsa, mustard and more. So I'm on my way to making 365 before the year's over. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
That's a lot of nutrition and the beet powder is beautiful! Blessings
Your pantry is awesome! Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Since jars are getting so hard to find and expensive I save my jars for all proteins. All veggies go into the dehydrator for easy storage. I figure we will be eating lots of soups and stews with rice and beans. I canned 18 this week and last week. Thank God the boxes stack well.
Can you do a video about all the things you do with your jalapeños? I grew six plants from seeds, first time ever and I need suggestions.💚🌶
Praying for rain so you will get some relief, however briefly. Your pantry is awesome! I have been canning but nowhere near as much as you have. Our garden is taking its time producing. That's okay. Always plenty to do here.❤ Live the videos!
Do you have a recipe on canning your own chicken noodles soups or soups in general? I've wanted to can my homemade chili but haven't, any tips?
Wonderful! It’s so nice….I love my pantry too….
Very Nice.. I love my pantry too! 🫙
I love your pantry. How long do your canned goods last on the shelf I am learning got the ball book, and ordered the denail pressure cooker
Great pantry guys. The way things are going you may have to dip into it. Hopefully you don't have to, but it's a great thing to have.
Love it! Great looking pantry!
My pantry is limited by some factors rather beyond my control—but it does me good to see what you and your husband and family have accomplished. I sure hope a LOT of people become inspired to be more sef-sufficient in feeding themselves. I know that one of the last things I ever want to be involved with is a riot over lack of food.
Looks good.🙏🏻
Really impressive pantry, loved the tour Jill!! I took a cue from you and do all my flours and sugars into glass jars now. Just completed re-organizing, rotating, and dating all our cans. Definitely will keep up better on those, that was not fun.
Your pantry is looking good! Since you're in Texas too, HEB will often run their shoulder roasts on sale for around $9.50 a pack. I'll buy enough to get one canner load and then dice them up in close to 1×1 squares and then pressure can them, only adding about a teaspoon of salt. We've made carne guisada with it as well as a hash with potatoes and onions and freeze dried bell peppers and even stews. You can also do the same with the extra thick cut boneless pork chops that HEB sells in a value pack. Both make a great shredded bbq and even a pulled beef or pork on top of nachos. Seasoned for tacos or enchiladas. Very versatile. Meat has become so expensive so I only splurge when they run them on sale. I think our HEB here in San Anton has the should roasts on sale right now, as a matter of fact. Anyways – awesome pantry tour!
Edited to add: If you have La Fiesta grocery store near you, they run fantastic sales on meat. Maybe not as good of quality as HEB but if you're stocking up for something that may happen, meat is meat.
Your have a great blend of veggies & meat 😊
I'm at 338, have more tomatoes to can, just too hot, and wanted them a bit redder!! I'll do this week. My daughter found pint Jars at Kroger on the loop for 6.74 a case. She got me a case, and I went and got several more, so I'm all set for a good while!! I have peppers to do cowboy candy. Those 2 things should get me very close to the end. I stopped at an estate sale today and got a tub of 20 jars for 4.00!! I was happy. I am really set for everything now, but I can't pass a bargain on canning supplies. Who knows how much more they will go up next year!! You have a wonderful pantry. I'm trying to clean out a bedroom and make it a pantry!! I'm still not sure about this blood clot. Had another MRI yesterday and have a virtual visit with Dr. July 5th. Have had no pain. I'm praying it dissolved on its own!! But I won't allow myself to become an invalid over this!! I thought we were getting rain today..not. Take care and God bless. Much love!! I've been putting my beans, rice, and salt in the 1 litre bottles. They are heavier plastic. Hope they will be ok. It's too late to change now. Have a safe holiday. Enjoy your stay away from home .
What an impressive well stocked Pantry! Great job ! You should be very proud of it . God Bless you ~
Very interesting video! Good work guys!
Just ordered a canning utensil set (waiting for it to come in), and I got a water bath pot from my aunt. I have been trying to pickup some canning jars at the thrift stores and have some new ones as well. I have a backup pantry as well and try to keep all my canned vegetables , breakfast, soups, condiments, etc., together in the same area.
Good job, you are a hard worker!
Looks Great Jill. Our pantry is filling up as well. We still need alot more to meet the challenge. God bless.
Oh how I wish our growing season didn't get interupted by family needs. I so wanted to grow the green beans. I am making salsa this afternoon went and bought some green jalopeno's to make salsa with to see if it comes out hotter than the yellow jalopenos. Yes my husband asked me where am I going to put all of my canned goods.
Good start on the camning pantry
Wow, what a great pantry! I’m hoping to get a decent harvest this year. The garden has not been a top priority the last few weeks. It’s overgrown with weeds, it rains every day all day, and we’ve got health stuff going on in the household. Hoping things turn around for us soon.
Thanks Jill for showing your pantry. Because of limited space, we've spread our preps around the house. This week I'll be making salsa and canning kraut. So far I'm on target to reach the 365 goal.
Remember y'all to Pray, Plan, Prep
Hey from Texarkana! Pantry looks good! I’m super impressed with the Beet Powder. Re the Bean Soup mix: are you taking the beans out of the original bag and then vacuum sealing? Also…why put them in glass jars instead of the vacuum bags? Thanks mucho! Love ya Neighbor
Wow, you have a grocery store in your house. Looks so good. I'm going to start a garden next year.
Can't wait to get my pantry looking like yours! I just got my canner this week and the first thing I'm going start on is ready to eat meals 🙂
Thanks for sharing 💜
