You made me laugh when you shared about listening to canning videos while doing your own. I thought I was the only one who felt the need for company while dehydrating, canning, or whatever. 😊

[@bekagonthier8485]

9:44 I would love to make the baked oatmeal for my family. I am a little confused though. I thought you were saying that you added sourdough discard to the oatmeal but I didn't see you do that in the video. Just wanted to make sure, are you adding sourdough to the baked oatmeal?

[@rondapierce6215]

I've never canned before but watching your videos makes me believe I can try. I have an instapot but think I will upgrade to the instapot max that has a small canning option to get started

[@gloria2619]

My Mom did her baking and meal preparation all on one day. She made bread, muffins, biscuits, corn bread, cookies, pies and cakes. She loaded the oven with all the things that cooked at the same temperature. It saved money and time to bake all at once rather than heat the oven several times during the week. She reheated any breads on top of whatever she was cooking on the stove top. Wrapping biscuits or cornbread in foil and lay over potatoes/etc that she was cooking. Really easy to do. I miss all the beautiful smells. 😍 She would share her pies and cakes with those less fortunate or unable to bake. Like the single handicapped man who mowed our yard. He never wanted money just pies. 💘 Mom grew up at the end of the depression so saving money and time while looking out for others was always part of her character. I miss her. Thank you for sharing your tips.

Oh, and even though you and I haven’t met we have canned many projects together. Along with your mom and dad too, lol. You were especially entertaining and motivating this summer when I had what felt like 3000 tomatoes to core lol.

Hi Mary! I am so happy to be one of your canning buddies 😀🥰 It truly makes the process one that is shared and more enjoyable. This time my parents are flying up so they’ll be helping me put up food rather than leave with it, lol! Hope you’re having a great week!

[@Mary-had-a-lil-farm]

@@BecomingaFarmGirl oh can’t wait to see them and the projects you get accomplished. It will be nice to see them in the kitchen with you too. When I actually first started canning, about seven years ago, I went to the farmers market with my mom. I was so overzealous and bought so much produce. They had smallish Roma tomatoes on special, because they were small. so I got one or two cases of them I don’t remember. It was my mom who got that job, sitting at the sink and peeling all of them after I blanched them. She has not forgiven me yet for that lol there was so many very small tomatoes. Her carpal tunnel is still flared up lol. We still laugh about it. She has not canned anything with me since 😑 lol. Hmph. My week is fine thank you hopefully yours as well.

I’m so glad I found your channel, I started canning a year ago last November, it started out as therapeutic now it’s because I just don’t like to eat out when I have to drive 4 hours one way to dr appointments. Nothing tastes as good as your own food. I have enough can food to last me for the next year and half! which is great because I just had solar panels put in last month, which I had to borrow money for. The money I’m saving on my electric bill and only eating from my garden and pantry will pay off the loan off in 6 months instead of the 3 years. Keep up the great videos.

I love cooking. Hearing you say that it was a semi form of art inspired me. I used to love all things art - I think your cheery demeanour is great too! Im sure the people around you are greatful for all you do! I think I'll go pick up some drawing supplies. It's nice to remember how much one nice person can inspire you. Thank you :)

Subscribed! You inspired me to get off my butt and go make some baked oatmeal and whatever those breakfast pie things were. 😂 I was sitting here thinking I had no clue what to make for dinner tonight or meals this week in general, and poof! Your video pops into my feed. I am inspired to shop my fridge, freezer and pantry this week before I venture to the store, largely thanks to your content. Love your energy, thank you for doing what you do and sharing it with us. ❤

Hello Elysa! I am SO happy to hear this! Yes, definitely work with what you already have and supplement what you buy at the store to save money and rotate you’re existing inventory. We all can get in a rut so isn’t it fun to peak inside of someone else’s kitchen? You’ll love the oatmeal bake! It’s sooo good. Thanks for saying hello! Have a great week!

I live beside a Sharp Shopper. We go there more often than the traditional grocery stores.😊 I just stumbled across this video & I’m loving your vibe!!! I can’t wait to watch more.

I like that your pantry is realistic and you add more as time goes.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Aww, thank ya honey. Yup, I’m working with the space I’ve got and managing a stockpile that doesn’t require a complicated inventory system and can be managed if you work full time, like me. It’s good to have food a few months out, for sure, but it takes space and certain processes to make sure you actually use it up. Small pantries are powerful too!

I’ve really gotten into canning this year… I love it! What I love the most is making soups/stews and canning them in pint jars for a quick homemade lunch or dinner! I Iove it! Even my son asked me if I could can some chili for him for his lunches.
