Let's Put This Pantry To Work | Good Ole Scratch Made Meals

[@fatehaahmed]

I am so lucky that I came across you, since my mum (55 yrs old) passed away a couple of years ago, I have had really bad anxiety and I find your videos calming and you remind me of my mum. My mum too was a whizz in the kitchen like you and taught me everything, now am teaching my daughter and son. So thank you so much , loads of love from the UK

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Thank you and welcome to my channel.

[@christinesmith4706]

Everything looks wonderful as always. Your daughter is adorable. It is clear that your family loves you and you love them. That is how family should be. ❤

[@countycalling]

I love watching families that truly love each other. I grew up in foster care and I enjoy how families react with each other

[@CindyKinney]

Hi Renea. I adore your daughter and the relationship you both have together. My mother and I were the same. I lost her 3 years ago, and I've never been the same. She right when she says, "Family takes care of family."

[@shellywells2471]

I'm a newbie lol, you gals made me cry with the show of love you have for each other!!! Becoming my new favorite you tube family!!

[@nancysparks6181]

O.M.G. You should open a restaurant Renea the Lasagna looks AMAZING I hope your channel reaches out to a MILLION viewers you deserve it, thank you for sharing. ❤

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Thank you so much!!

[@marleneboone3413]

Hello Renea and Susie. Oh my goodness that brownie, now I know how Tracy feels, Im wiping drool off my face lol loved the close up and the lasagna oh my, looks amazing. You and Susie are just to cute, love how you are with one another. Mom and daughter making memories. God Bless you all❤

[@tonijohnson7132]

It's so nice to see the wonderful relationship you and your daughter have .

[@happyrapture1370]

All if these meals look delicious! I noticed you are almost to 50K, that is so AWESOME 💥. I have made so many of your delicious recipes from the start, and I want to say thank you. Thank you for sharing recipes that i use I'm my home day after day and week after week, recipes that I use to bless my children and grandchildren with. I always say God bless if I comment, but I want you to know, i truly mean that, may God bless you and your family. 100K is right around the corner 🤗

[@claratarver3138]

This world should watch this video. A perfect example of what all families are supposed to be. Helping and doing for each other. God bless you both!

[@kathykelley9248]

Love this video. I use alot of your recipes. Hubby watched and saw the brownies immediately he said get that recipe! lol You have a wonderful daughter with the right attitude she reminds me of our daughter. Our motto at home and hers is family helps family. We help each other with no questions asked. I dont believe in pantry challenges. My working pantry is used daily. I keep a list and when I see a sale on items, I am right there to scoop it up. You cook and clean like I do. You are very grateful and humble person. Thank you for all your videos and chit chats.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

We think alot alike.😊

[@debbieramsey3659]

Renae, you are so delightful. And your daughter is precious. Did a good job mom.

[@lakegirl3664]

What wonderful children whom were raised by loving parents!

[@beckyhinshaw5682]

Thank you for being you. I LOVE watching you and your daughter. Yes family takes care of family. Keep on cooking!

[@lonsangel]

Can’t wait to see the whole house. I am so excited for you!

[@kimmyers9402]

Just discovered your channel 2 days ago and I am so glad I did !! I’m also originally a Michigander (live in Ohio now, I was born and raised in Warren MI…) and you are so right about Vernor’s!! Brings back memories!! I love watching your cooking !!

[@lindafox1366]

Thank you Mrs R. I will fill my freezer with brownies now, just like the best carrot cake ever! I can’t wait for the banana cake video… Thank you Linda Fox

[@dianalynch2352]

I just love watching you cook! I don't get to cook like that anymore since I became diabetic 😒. Even though you may make me hungry for the things I used to eat, you also give me inspiration for meals I may be able to adapt for my diet. Thanks for sharing friend!

[@krisirolfe4332]

Honey / being a diabetic (like me) you can still cook and eat sweets- STEVIA is the answer !!!! Please buy diabetic cookbooks and get back in the kitchen !!!! 🎉❤

[@sheilab1772]

You always come up with great meal ideas! I also have noticed how well your channel is growing! Have always loved your personality and content and enjoy your channel! Hope Stella feels better soon! Enjoy Susie coming on for a little bit! Thanks Renea!

[@teresasanders4266]

I love how you start everyday thinking and planning what you can do for someone. You spend your money, you spend your time and energy doing for your friends and family. Then cleaning the mess up, just to realize that your husband and you need supper too. No doubt you cook different suppers on any given day. You can’t out give GOD, he provides you with resources to be able to continue to bless others. You are inspiring, thank you.

[@jeanniewahine5443]

The towel drapes worked beautifully, thank you, it made a big difference. You did not sound at all mean when you said why you don't do the pantry challenge. You merely stated why you don't do it. What you said makes sense for your lifestyle, and it appears you're very successful doing it your way. Everyone should do what works for them. I think you present a different option for people, so it's good that you mentioned it. I loved the interaction between you and your lovely daughter, as always, but this time was especially sweet. And thanks for including the recipes. When you said your brownies melt in your mouth, I knew I had to try them!

[@marysidle5132]

I am so happy you let us all in the kitchen with you while you cook. I love trying your recipes. Keep them coming! GOD bless.

[@rosemarypetrongelli1384]

What a wonderful daughter, God Bless. She makes a splash coming in! Just love it, so sweet like you Renae. Canning bottles area great present!

[@Jomama02]

OK Renae, it's one am and I'm now craving bean and beefy burritos! I gotta start watching earlier so I can whip some up if I get the craving.

[@homespundevotions]

Oh, my goodness! I am so thankful KZbin recommended your channel to me! I SO enjoyed this video. You are an amazing cook, and you make it so easy to understand. I just subscribed and am looking forward to watching more of your content! God bless you always!

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Welcome to my channel and thank you.

[@diannahawthorne4988]

I love how close your family is ❤️❤️❤️

[@darlenefroemming1135]

Hi, Renea. I enjoy hanging out with you in the kitchen. Wish I could come to Michigan and cook with you. We enjoyed lasagna from your recipe for dinner tonight....and brownies with Ice cream for dessert. Yum!

[@jeristromsoe2751]

Hi Renae! I can hardly wait to make your brownies, they look so delicious! Thank you so much. 💖😘

[@lisavanginder9693]

Awesome video!!! Love your family, so inspiring to see how much you all help each other.

[@joycewilson6359]

I agree wholeheartedly with you about these pantry challenges. I find it strange that they aren’t using the food from them continuously to start with and restocking as needed. I always thought that was the whole purpose. Not to be without. I don’t know why they would want to deplete it completely then have to try to refill it again. I’m glad I found your channel just down to earth and real not a bunch of put on for show. Keep up the great work. May God bless you and your family.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Thank you.

[@sheilalovesgreg3489]

LOOK at that super organized pantry!!! Be still my heart! Loving your videos ❣️

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

[@susanryman9948]

Fabulous video. All the good looks delicious. Renae, you my dear are just a delight to watch. It’s like being in the kitchen right there with you. You are just the sweetest. And by the way, you hair looks gorgeous. Your sweet daughter is just as delightful as you are. Apple didn’t fall far from that sweet momma tree. Blessings to all of you.

[@karenwade4911]

I really like your channel, the pluses in my arena are you cook, you talk, you teach. You cook good food, you talk about your food and not about all your life connections, their business. I have subscribed to your channel. Love your knowledge and your personality.

[@lindahogg9571]

I enjoyed watching your video. It reminded me of me and my mother in the kitchen . She's with the Lord now. And thank you for your video.

[@user-sf2dd5wc9i]

I live alone and hardly ever "cook". But, I love watching you cook. Love and joy with every meal.

[@vickihogan8207]

You could 1/2 the recipes and make it into individual meals.

[@ionakahler3004]

Just found you. What a beautiful lady you are. I do a lot of cooking too. I’m 85. Blessings to you and yours.😊

[@willhurd8415]

[@jeanetterichardson2287]

My Mother use to say… a son is a son until he takes a wife, but a daughter is a daughter all of my life❤I was the only girl out of 5 wonderful brothers😂 love you Girl

[@unclechristhefoodpantryche7959]

Hello Renee I'm Uncle Chris the food pantry chef, I have been binge watching your videos and I love the channel

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Welcome to my channel and thank you.

[@homesteadonthehill9147]

People laugh at me about reusing my bag--but saving money is what it is all about. The only time I don't reuse is when I have raw meat in them. Love your videos.

[@krisirolfe4332]

It’s a midwestern tradition to reuse ziplock bags and even tinfoil- butter and cottage cheese plastic containers too…❤❤

[@homesteadonthehill9147]

@Krisi Rolfe I'm a true Southern Indiana girl---I do it all!😁

[@bevsmth7854]

I miss my mom & dad..they called me susie..my dad susie q. Like the little cakes..lol..you do so much to help your family and friends..true love from your kitchen to theirs. 😍♥️

[@meredithlynn]

I have a working pantry too, but I do have a sister in law that sticks her pantry so full than a lot of her stuff goes bad. I have a large pantry and cook all the time so I am pay attention to what I need to use up and what I need to replenish. I don’t like to buy a lot of junk food or processed food so cooking from scratch when you plan out your meals is the best way for a budget. I’m learning so many things to help have easy meals in the freezer. Thank you for this❤😊

[@donate1sttt]

Your hair and nails really look nice. I can't wait to make these recipes. I'm watching your channel all night. Lol just can't shut utube off and it's 2:20am😇

[@lizmoeller615]

Everything looks delicious! You're such a great mama!! I absolutely love my son and daughter on law the same way!!! You are are such a blessing 🩷

[@monazuniga6499]

Just wanted to thank you for all you do and show us. You give us soo many ideas and delicious recipes that are the best. You are soo loved and appreciated and really like that you show the recipes in the box below so we dont have to go look for the recipe in another video. So thank you for doing that. Love you and your family and you are awesome. Have a blessed day!!!

[@oscarfelix1952]

So glad KZbin recommended you. You're a treasure!

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Wow, thank you!

[@paulabowie8325]

I could watch you cook all day, you give great tips and a good teacher, enjoyed seeing your daughter for a brief visit and she is right family looks after family. Hope your Granddaughter feels better soon!! See ya on your next video!!

[@rubytaylor4566]

Hi, Renee, i enjoyed hanging with you and your daughter. Beautiful family and lots of love! Recipes looks yummy. ❤😊🙏 Ms. Ruby

[@Rene_B7578]

Hi Renee~. I’ve been watching your videos for a couple months now and I really enjoy your content. I love that you’re so down to earth and just being yourself! 🌷(my name is Rene also!)

[@valorieletkeman8992]

Yay close to 50K, so deserving!

[@mylittleruralhomestead]

Good afternoon Renea We love burritos and brownies around here. Yummy!!

[@marilynotte7059]

Use a screwdriver to poke a hole in the bottom of the bean cans and they will pop right out. That works with cream soups, cheese sauces, tomato paste, etc. I learned that decades ago and it never fails. Sometimes you can just use a can opener to punch a hole...love it!!!! I do wonder how you cook with such a big pan on such a small burner. :) "Ebels"...a word/name from my history. It's nice to meet your daughter.

[@victoriabauer1059]

The joy you exude is contagious!! You are a lovely and delightful soul. I love your family relationship and truly believe we are our brother's keeper. This content is so genuine and authentic which is a breath of fresh air. Thank you!!!

[@roszcutler9724]

I haven’t cooked my lasagna noodles in about thirty years 😊 But it does take longer to bake and I bake big ones 😊 I love watching you cook and bake!

[@angelasheppard7197]

Thanks for sharing your day and shopping trip. Gorgeous cats

[@debsaltzman8425]

You are blessing to me and make my day ,I love your cooking down to earth cooking , have a blessed day

[@cordyg4306]

Everything looks delicious. There's nothing better in this world than a strong family unit. Family is EVERYTHING. 🤗 Love from Kentucky. I just went yesterday, & got my mother some Vernors, she also had an upset stomach. God bless! 🙏✝️🕊️

[@bevsmth7854]

I love how you cook up 5 to 10 lbs of burger. And split it up for different freezer meals or ready to go meal..love the new cook book. I reuse my ziplock bags too;)

[@acab4128]

Another great video full of wonderful food to inspire us all. a very grateful daughter is nice to see and nanas place is the best place when you not feeling well keep up the great work

[@cathykelly6002]

I can't taste brownies since the cancer but I can remember how good there were and those look fantastic.

[@pambohnhoff2163]

Renea, congratulations on your channel's growth! I'm not surprised, tho. You're down to earth, down home cooking. Who doesn't love and need your kinda food and goodies? My daughter and her family live a couple miles from us, and we take care of each other, too. It's the only way to live. God bless all of you!

[@notthecheshirekat2596]

And it seems like we as a society have forgotten how to help one another and stay close and loving as a family. It used to be the norm, families lived within ten miles of each other and were constantly doing things together and for each other, it’s kind of sad we don’t have that lifestyle anymore. I love hearing and seeing families like yours and Renea’s that still do that, it is the best way to live in my opinion. 😊

[@debbygibson3797]

Hi I really love watching you cook. I used to but unable to as I have a lung disease and need oxygen at times. Would love some recipes for sure. I was born in Indiana ,but my parents moved to Australia in 1972 when I was 11yrs old keep on cooking.

[@charlottevilla7931]

you are a special lil lady and i enjoy my day with you!! keep on keeping on!!

[@jansims9699]

Hi Renae I’ve been watching your channel for a few days I just wanted to let you know you have inspired me to try some of your recipes and switch things around. I am enjoying cooking again thank you keep making lovely videos😊

[@notthecheshirekat2596]

Love the drapes, I would have done the same. I don’t have curtains in my kitchen either because I want the natural light and I also look out the window when doing dishes and other monotonous stuff. The other reason I don’t is they trap grease, dust, and odor so they’re kind of a hassle in the kitchen. 😊

[@tammyr2966]

Awww! Your daughter is so sweet! That’s how we were raised, family takes care of family! Everything you made looks so delicious! Especially those brownies! I can’t wait to make those!

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Renea-enjoyed our visit today. I also use a cottage cheese mixture in my lasagna because I really am not a fan of ricotta cheese (unless it is in a cannoli LOL)! I also do not like mushrooms so I never use them in my cooking. I make breakfast burritos and learned a new/better way to wrap them by watching you. I have said this before but I really like your style-you also share a lot of wisdom. Have a blessed day.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Thank you.

[@pereboom23]

Thank you for sharing. Hello from a Dutchman living in Amsterdam ❤️

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Welcome!

[@krisirolfe4332]

Hi from Germany!!! Found your site by happy accident ! Lasagna - Burritos AND Brownies the yummy trifecta !!!!! And I could tell you are from the Midwest just by how you measured things like my granny did. I made the brownies for my colleagues-- the Americans were in heaven and the other x-pat teachers begged for the recipe!!! The lasagna recipe I’ve made with zucchini or eggplant or spinach (or a combo if I’m short on something ). Burritos- made these with Nuremberg sausage (like a breakfast sausage here in Germany), some hash browns from last night - scrambled eggs, and cheese (any kind) and BAM- breakfast burritos. And yes they are freezable !!! Family takes care of family!! They time I spent with you was like being back home 😅❤❤.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Welcome and thank you. My grandfather was from Stuttgart and my grandma was from Vienna. I learned so much from her.

My pantry is a working pantry also. I love to say I’m going to the store and go to my pantry and I make a note of what I use and replace it next time I’m in town 😆

[@moishglukovsky]

Love the big cast iron skillet! I like the two loop handles.

[@trerc1]

Everything looks great! (of course!) I have never made lasagna with no ricotta. I think I will try it this way with my eggplant and zucchini for a healthier dish. Thanks Renea! And I'm so excited your channel is growing! 🤗 You deserve it! You & your family are just a joy! I look forward to your videos! I pray ur grandbaby feels better soon! God Bless you all🙏❤️

[@vickihogan8207]

I always use cottage cheese because we don’t like ricotta. Get the small curd cottage cheese. It’s just as good or better!

[@trerc1]

Thanks will do. We Love any kind of cheese! But are trying to eat healthier. So this will work out great!

[@KoniB.]

Hey!! I have that Rooster copper mold. It was me Nan's! She gave it to me in 1966.
