How I organize my CHEST FREEZER + Pantry Tour 2022

[@katieisherwood8827]

I love how you've backed your thought process up with scripture - both for you and for us! Thank you xx

[@waytoson]

I agree.. It was awesome to hear...

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Great video, love to see how organized you are. Great tips as well. When my husband was alive we constantly had people over and our friends knew that if they cam to pray with us they would never leave hungry. My husband primary role was to feed their souls and I feed their bellies. Blessings to you and your beautiful family 🙏🙏🙏🥰

[@theMennoniteMom]

That's amazing! I want to be like you (:

[@dianapovero7319]

I n these uncertain times I've found another plus to having extra food on hand, when a friend lost herhome early in the shut down I was able to ask her if she could take some surplus off my hands thus sparring everyones dignity. I am blessed to be able to do this whenever I see the need. Love these videos I learn so many new tips.

[@theMennoniteMom]

So kind of you and such a blessing!

[@debkay1160]

Very thoughtful oh you.

[@stuckinmopro8533]

I’ve found that it is super easy when cooking a casserole, crock pot or instant pot meal to make several of them at the same time. There are four of us and when I make a lasagna I always cook it in at least two or three separate aluminum pans. I either cook them all at once or cook one for dinner and cover, label and freeze the other two. We also order monthly meat from Butchers Box so I often have numerous types/cuts of beef, chicken, fish, etc. What really helped me, because we have our inside freezer/refrigerator and our chest freezer in the garage, was maintaining a list attached to my refrigerator that notes what I have on hand. It’s labeled “Inside” and “Outside”, what the item is and the amount. I then use this to make my menu and shopping list. On the “I don’t want to cook” days I check the list and then send someone out to grab the Mac & Cheese casserole and pop it in the oven!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Great ideas! Thank you! And so true about the making extra recipes! I want to do that with baby coming

[@kristinatidwell6563]

@@theMennoniteMom I've been trying to purchase items at Goodwill like used Pyrex pans for $3 then I fill them with food to give to people who I know that needs them... I write on the bottom of the pan for them to pass along to the next family as they see fit? Years ago one family who went to my former church, turned out that 2 kids were murdered as Mom had gone into the shower. Unbelievable! The hvac repair guy was a massive surprise! He wasn't scheduled to be there for a visit, while Mom was headed into the shower. The kids were watching cartoons. I had a surprise idea one day while I was in school taking paralegal studies, I asked the girl's brother to verify?? He never said yes or no. It's just something that I learned from my classes. It took some time to come thru the legal process for all of the mess to come out of the news. Idk until the end of the case?? Was almost 2 years until the Mom got off legal charges & the hvac guy was eventually sent to prison. Please find a way to keep these scary people out of the family's homes! Those kids were 7 & 9 years old when they passed away. 😳 Everyone always thought that I was such a scardy cat, but it's not funny how things come back to haunt us! I'm a member of Methodist Church now. My friends were Presbyterian Church members, and I tried to help them where I could to keep their daughter safe. I did take care of 6 nieces and nephews, along with my 3 boys. I tried my best to make sure to keep all of these kids safe! I was blessed to have seperate income from 1st husband who died in a car accident, so I had a lawsuit seperate income. I was busy taking care of raising the kids now I'm trying to write a book about the lawsuit. Thing is that I have health issues from contaminated drinking water at Lake Travis. I'm asking God to help me fight a brain tumor now. It's benign, but Idk if the tumor will be stopped? I just turned 54 years old. I'm trying to stop this brain tumor before it gets ugly. I'll ask for quick prayers if you can add to it? My 2nd husband filed for divorce in 2004, but he has apologized. He can't come back to me, and now we know that I did have the benign brain tumor but he has remarried. I'm still trying to make our lives better for everyone. I've been looking for husband #3 and our boys have finished HS.

[@margaretterracciano7620]

Jeanine, you did a great job with your food organization and prep supplies. Thanks for the Scripture quotes, too!

[@EmeryShae]

My family heritage is Mennonite as well, and I definitely grew up with the big garden, canning, etc. It’s such a valuable thing, to have a pantry filled with food to share. Right now we live on a tiny city lot and I would love to have more space to garden.

[@kristinatidwell6563]

Does your city allow you to raise a few egg laying chickens, so you won't go without eggs? I wasn't raised as a Mennonite but I was raised in fostercare for 19 months when I was turning12, and I won 4H club in youth fair. We were in the country and we raised 12 egg laying hens, then we also raised 75 turkeys & 150 broilers and we put the meat in the freezer. My foster parents split half a cow & pig with neighbors next door. We also raised a half acre garden and we had lots of food we had plenty of food to eat. My parents tried to keep food coming in, faster than we could eat it!

[@kristinatidwell6563]

Egg laying hens takes a few months to raise them so that you can use them as hens, at least for 10 months or so you can keep up with the chicken.

[@frandemianczyk]

Great video Jeanine, thanks for sharing! Your pantry and freezer storage are nicely done and you motivated me to organize our extra goods in our basement ☺️ Sending love and prayers 🥰🙏🏻❤️🙋🏻‍♀️

[@terryruiz7417]

This was great! I was just mentioning to my husband that I should begin to stock up more, be prepared for, well, whatever we might find ourselves facing. The Lord has always taken care of us, through 54 years of marriage. But, preparation is something we can do, again, and perhaps have something to share with others as we go forward. Your wisdom in storing your food is worth so much to many. Thank you.

[@kellymccurdy7334]

Thanks for the video, it’s always nice to see what other people do with food storage. I’ve been doing it about 20 years or so and something I would recommend would be to have some water in your basement storage like gallon jugs or 5 gallon jugs or outside your home somewhere in the shade like 55 gallon barrels or 275 gallon tank(s). The reason why I recommend it is because you never know if you have city water if they might turn it off for any reason or just to have in case an emergency happens. Another tip is if you keep your yeast in a mason jar in the freezer it will last forever and it won’t expire. Thanks for being a genuine person I love your videos because of who your are.

[@kiakia2154]

Won't the Mason jars explode in freezer.. I'm need to canning and food preservation.

[@beckysonnier6369]

No, the jars won’t burst unless you put too much in them, just allow for expansion. Also, I keep my baking powder in the freezer and peanut butter in the refrigerator because it doesn’t have as long of a shelf life.

[@bettypenner1810]

Love how open you are about being a christen and all your knowledge on the Bible.. I had organized my chest freezer awhile back and I used the blue recycling bins with the handles on Amazon. They easily stake and the handle is everything!

[@emilys.8932]

Love your perspective- prepare, but don’t be anxious! Trust the Lord! We can never go wrong if we do that. ❤️ Sending prayers for a healthy third trimester!!

[@llijable]

You had so man good things to say. One of the comments reminded me of the question: what would we have today if we only had what we thanked God for yesterday.

[@deblavan4190]

Love how you organized your freezers. Great idea on the chest ones. They can be a pain if not organized. I had a huge one. I would organize it but with young boys I had to do it to much! But kept it up so to use the older things first!

[@Stauffer-fs8kz]

I appreciate the humble, balanced way you have shared about being prepared! THANK YOU! We own a small grocery store in New Holland, PA, and it seems wise to make some extra stock. There are shortages now, and more shortages coming.....Let us trust the Lord, and not give in to fear of what the future may be, but also use the wisdom He has given to care for our families and those we can reach out to bless!

[@Mommee77]

Hadn't thought about using stevia for bread & butter pickles, thanks for the tip. This year we had a big bunch of green tomatoes at the end of the season and didn't need any chow chow, so made garlic dill pickled tomatoes.....really really good!

[@kimmerrou]

This gives me a kick (a very needed one) to handle my own freezers. We have an upright, a small deep freeze, and our "old" fridge/ freezer... and our mini storage in our basement. I know I'm going to get some grief, but use the dates as a guideline. People read over the fact of "best by" and think that somehow it just magically knows when to go bad. Of course there are things you want to watch, but we had frozen blackberries (home bagged) that were 7 years old and were kinda concerned so we very carefully tried them and the only reason we didn't use them in a recipe is because we hogged them down. In order to keep product moving you have to sell them. What is a better way to sell something than to get people thinking they need to replace something that's "outdated"? Your organization is great and those baskets are amazing! I tried the bag system and it was a no go for us, but I think that was because bags (like the reusable grocery sacks) are not exactly stationary (oh how many times did the fall over😑) and so we gave up on them. My question is do they hold up pretty good? Are they super brittle? I've had some food storage that called themselves freezer and they cracked when you looked at them...or so it seemed. Thank you for your sound words on Biblical preparation. So many times we look at our circumstances and jump to conclusions and, you nailed it, it hardly ever comes to pass. We Moms tend to definitely be overactive with our imaginations. Excellent video, Jeanine!

[@MegBeth26]

I love all your food storage. I am expecting too and have been thinking of stocking up so I can do less shopping when baby comes.

[@n.watson8497]

I love, love, love your scripture references. Over the years, I have considered and pondered what the Bible says about being prepared and have come up with the same conclusions you express. It's so wonderful to hear it spoken. Thank you.

[@bettyangstadt4242]

You gave me a few good ideas that I missed when stocking up. We do try to have a good supply on hand but now more than ever we are trying too be wiser about our choices. Thanks for a very informative video and best of luck on your last few weeks of pregnancy. My first daughter was born on April 29th. It was wonderful time of year to have her as everything was just waking up from winter and the flowers were blooming etc. A beautiful time of year to begin a new little life....God Bless 💝

[@stevegorkowski3246]

Nice to see how you have things setup. I have one chest freezer for one person, so 3 for 3 people sounds great! I can food but I try to rotate what I can each year. 6 month stocking in the freezer is the max for me. If it don't save me money stocking up , I don't stock that much. I am eating down the freezer big time getting ready to buy Belted Galloways grass feed beef(same omega 3 as fish) and some grass feed pork. That butter is a great deal it's from grass feed cows! I make a point to gift / give caned food. Prepping isn't needed if we get past the "it's all about me culture" and share with others! Sharing with others will come back 100 fold. Have a great weekend!

[@barbaramiller3205]

Looks awesome! I have my stockpile in the basement of an old farmhouse as well. I didn’t put my spaghetti down there in fear it would get moist but maybe it would be ok. I’m ready to get some apples at a local orchard who will be closing for the spring season so their apples are on sale. So I plan to get a couple bushels to make applesauce. I’m learning to watch for things that are on sale and stockpile on it (if it’s something you use) I had gotten a case of butter at Aldi too, and am almost out of it. Was hoping for another good sale soon. 😊

[@theMennoniteMom]

That is a thought. Maybe I shouldn't store in the basement unless I put it in jars? Yes sales are so awesome!

[@janetross3858]

I put my spaghetti in a large brown lunch bag then place it in a vacuum seal bag with an oxygen absorber and it works wonderful.

[@SewCraftyNana]

I think sometimes people don’t realize what “staples” are for people who cook meals 7 days a week. I’m just me (empty nest) but I keep a small “pantry” like yours of shelf stable things I go through regularly or can pull out for a big meal with guests. It’s all in where you spend money - eating out or cooking/being prepared at home. Thanks for sharing!

[@jonnaborosky8836]

I like your "stash" and how you go about it very much. It sounds a lot like how I used to stock up. Now, I'm on a low fixed income and disabled...so canning is not an option any more. I still keep trying to be stocked up...but never quite make it to be like I used to. I do the best I can and rely on God for the rest, because, you're right: "take no thought for tomorrow"...and "if He takes care of the birds," how much more will be take care of you. I live by that b after I do what I can. Enjoyed listening to and watching you. Thank you for sharing.

This past month, we had a financial emergency, and I was elated that I had a full pantry. I discovered, because of that emergency, why I prep.

[@mandiesmaison458]

I am exhausted, you are definitely ready for another lockdown, so you won’t have to worry, like last time, not having enough store cupboard goodies! I am gradually working my way through our little stockpile. 🙂 Also the wood on the storage baskets was genius!

[@theMennoniteMom]

😀 no not really expecting another lock down! Hopefully not!

[@pama.6410]

You are definitely prepared! Love how you organized your deep freezers! Great idea to make the wood lips. Does your meat last over a year because of what you wrap it in? Is that shrink wrap extra thick? My meat looks kind of sorry by six months but we don't use any special wrap. We usually go through it well before 6 months though. Think once that butter is frozen, the expiration date is not relevant. Should last a year or two, I think, anyway. Am also thinking saltines or graham crackers or things like that might be needed if we can't make or get bread. We grew up eating brown bread from a can with franks and beans sometimes. I haven't had it in years, but bought some to have on hand. It really is delicious with baked beans. lol. Also trying to think about issues if we can't prepare things the usual way. If we have no electricity, do I have a way to prepare things? My favorite rice uses the microwave. Can I prepare it another way? Things like that. I have just started canning chicken and hamburger and definitely will do more of that. Our reserves pale in comparison to yours, but you are a young family and burning a lot of calories. Agree with your thinking about being prepared, but not worried. Also firmly believe our world issues are directly correlated to a loss of faith by so many and even a lack of gratitude or deep prayer or reparation by those who DO believe. God is calling us back in His usual way. He let the Israelites suffer and be overcome until they returned to Him on many occasions. This time however, nations have the power to destroy each other so it is even more important that hearts turn back to Him before real horrors occur. God bless to you and yours and all your subscribers!

[@karenswartz8280]

Great video, filled with lots of helpful tips and suggestions. I would love to can and prep more, but it’s difficult for a single person household with very limited space , to do. One thing I was able to do, is buy a new, bigger upright freezer. My previous one was much smaller, and not frost free 😩. But it was almost 35 years old when it finally gave up the ghost, so no complaints about that. Definitely got my money’s worth. Going forward, at next butchering, my sister and my niece and I will be sharing a cow. If my brother in law gets another deer, we’re going to share that as well. He aims for at least 2 per year, one to eat, and one to process and donate to our local food bank. If he gets a third, we share. I also have a chicken farmer nearby, and once his hens are ready in the spring, I’ll be stocking up on chicken, so the new, bigger freezer is going to be a great blessing. And with meat getting scarcer especially. I’d love to can some pickled beets…they’re my most favorite vegetable of all, and of course use the pickling broth for hard boiled eggs.

I love this video! It’s always good to see Zander’s smiling face! (Did I spell his name correctly?) I love that this video was steeped in scripture. I know that’s not everyone’s thing, but I agree as Christ’s followers, we must stay true to the Word of God in all we do. I love your references, because in Bible Study Fellowship a few weeks ago, we studied the 10 bridesmaids. Matthew taught about the return of Christ in that chapter but being prepared for His return means obeying His Word. I pray in this busy season of preparing for your new little one that you are able to rest. You’re a beautiful, hardworking Momma so make sure you are taking care of yourself along the way. ❤️

Nice video. I use the bags I bring to the store to put in the freezer. I have a lot of bags LOL. This way they aren't hard, and you can work with them more than crates. The handles are easy to grab and pull out. II have a freezer for meats, and one for veggies and fruits etc. I also put raw eggs in those silicone muffin cups and freeze them one in each. Once frozen, I take them out of the cups and put them in a zip lock bag. I use them for baking after I thaw them. It works out so well. I also can a lot of food. The key to doing all this is NOT to put in your stockpile things you won't eat. Don't forget you can also freeze bananas for banana bread, so you don't have to throw old bananas out! Also use them in smoothies. Keep up the good work.

[@hildamorrison2003]

So we just do it all on a small scale. God bless you all. Good vlog.

[@lisamcdonald7125]

I liked your rant lol.Yes God will always provide but so many verses like you mentioned also indicates to be ready and ready your household. I like how ants prepare for winter in the summer. So I like to be like an ant I think there is a verse on that too! Love your content God bless x

[@sherilynalexnder897]

Thanks for the freezer tours! It makes my heart happy to see families are stocked up and able to feed their families no matter what. And what a blessing to have a cattle farmer in the family!!! Green beans are my favorite, and am attempting to grow them in containers on the patio - three so far, lol.

[@theMennoniteMom]

Good for you! I hope it's successful for you! And yes, cattle farmer is a big blessing

[@zormier2002]

I applaud your freezer inventory but your pantry could use some work. This is not the time to take a break, honey 🙃

[@diannamcbride1607]

You have given me some great ideas for storage in the freezer! Thank you!

[@zormier2002]

Have you been checked to see if your iron is low? Usually if your breathless and pregnant you are low on iron.

Joseph stored up huge quantities of grain, like the sand of the sea; it was so much that he stopped keeping records because it was beyond measure.

[@hoojam1838]

Oh, thanks. You reminded me, I need to make my spaghetti sauce. I have the juice in 2 quart jars in the basement

[@Susan.I]

Yes, there is great reason to prepare for the future. Not only for food , but supplies of all sorts. I am recovering from a foot surgery and and have more time to think about.

[@cardma7356]

Thanks for the ideas and motivation. Someone gave me the idea to use strong canvas bags with handles to store different types of items in my deep freezers.. That allows me to easily access all of the layers, not waste any space and is easier on my back. I make laminated labels out of different colors of card stock and attach them to the handles for easy identification. I have found most of the bags at rummage sales.

[@theMennoniteMom]

That's a great idea!

[@coverdalegirl]

I use cloth bags but never thought to put labels on them! Thanks for that tip!

[@alinewright1093]

Please have extra Furnace filters and extra LED light bulbs on hand to save a extra trip to the store.

Hi I'm a new subscriber I appreciate this video I have a channel two and I also look to see how to organize my freezer love your videos 🙏🥰💕🦋

[@kimberlybontrager3436]

I have been looking for tips on organizing storage and kitchens. You have a lot of great organizing I love the freezer containers

[@gretapenner7316]

Loved the video, good tips... I’m interested in the bologna.... is that a recipe u could share ? If not that’s fine 😊

[@janejaurigui9480]

I hate running out of things and I don’t like grocery shopping so if you have things to fix meals with out having to go to the store and gas is too expensive and less running less money spent

[@marywalker2896]

What's your recipe for bread and butter pickles??.

[@dianalama1591]

Your words of wisdom backed by scripture … wonderful 👍

[@belieftransformation]

Great inspiration & organization; thank you! When we got our yearly side of beef, they had the boxes labelled so I left them in the boxes & we kept the label upright, put the box & all into the chest freezer & cut just the end flap off the box. I really had to organize my 2 little freezers to get the veggies & frozen apple sauce (from own trees) into them. I’m trying to dehydrate & can some things to save on freezer space. We just installed our wood stove & bought firewood in case of winter storm power outages. Here in colder Alberta, Canada, we have to prepare for higher utility bills even though we have natural gas heating (that requires power to run the furnace). Many blessings to your family 🤗❤️🇨🇦

What a beautiful person you are inside and out. Thank you for that positive rant.
