🥕MY HOMESTEAD "WORKING" PANTRY TOUR | 3 WAYS TO STORE YOUR SPICES THAT WORK | AT HOME GROCERY STORE🥔

Hey everyone, welcome to my channel! I am so glad you are here! Today I am bringing you along with me to show you my working pantry. We have some stops along the way as I show you my 3 FAVORITE ways to store my spices. Keep in mind, it is not a showroom quality pantry, as many post online. It is a working pantry, it functions, it serves it's purpose and that's all that matters to me. It's an in - depth tour, so keep that in mind. I wanted to show everything we put back. Hoping it inspires others to put back food as well for themselves when they are able to. You never know when you will have to rely solely on what your pantry holds. Blessings, see you on the next video!

I dislike that we feel the need to explain away and justify why we have what we have in our pantry. This is common sense if you have 9 kids or 0 kids. Thank you so much for taking the time to graciously open your home to us. Just beautiful and so functional. Keep up the great work!

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Thank you so much!!

[@CG-mj8tk]

Exactly!!

[@deborahlehman8617]

If I hadn’t of come from a large family I wouldn’t have understood these large amount of food in a pantry that is shown now, with only being 3 of us in our family we do not need to have all of this food in ours and now down to only 2 of us we need so much less. Please understand that it is overwhelming to us to see so much food and being concerned about it going bad before the expiration dates!!

[@SurvivalBetty]

@@deborahlehman8617 In the country, this is normal for us. We can't just go to the store easily. Snow, a tree gets blown down on the road, an ice storm, flooded roads and we can't get to the store. You grow a garden, and then preserve it. These are skills still being used by a lot of folks. City folks find it strange, but this is normal. When everyone is panic buying at the store, we'll be not adding to the fray because we live seasonally and preserve food. The abnormality is a centralized food system that's made this way of life seem out of step. It's why shelves are picked clean during any "crisis" and people fight in the isles for toilet paper. Decentralize the food system just a little, and it decreases the burden on society. So the folks that can't do these things as easily, can go to the market and have what they need. We're still eating preserves from several years ago, ground beef from 3 years ago, and canned veggies almost 2 years old. You only grow and preserve what you need and keep it rotated.

[@meralodem]

@@SurvivalBetty I am from Turkey and it is strange how much spice varieties you have, what we have in our house is salt-meatball spice-cinnamon-dried mint-black pepper ( never used if i dont insist :) )ginger ( bought it for the first time to try kimchi )

[@carriecreates1207]

Your husband did an excellent job on your kitchen cabinets and your utility room cabinets!!!!

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Thanks so much, I think he did too! 😊

[@sabrinamassie5606]

I'm in my mid-60s now and have been a pantry-momma for decades - was the oldest of 6 and have always cooked from scratch .. And I have to say - I'm rarely (if ever) impressed with a pantry tour. Yours however is ideal to me. A working pantry - not a showroom - wise selections, a thought out plan ... You're doing great!! (new subscriber)

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Wow!! Your comment made my day! Thank you so much. ❤️

I've been watching pantry tours all day to get ideas on what to do with mine and your video is the most realistic one I have seen. thank you for sharing your every day chaos and showing that real life is not these perfect picturesque pantries! ❤❤ I love your pantry

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

I am so happy to hear this!! Thank you so much! 😊

[@karagunther730]

To remove permanent marker from hard non porous surfaces(like your jar lids), scribble over the permanent marker with a dry erase marker and it will wipe right off. I promise it works great!

[@OhPervyOne]

LOL I thought I was the only one that knows this. It doesn't always work with soft plastic or textured plastic surfaces. Sometimes rubbing alcohol works.

[@pinschrunner]

Just wipe it off with rubbing alcohol. Done☑️

[@KatyInNH]

Hand sanitizer works also - also washing in the dishwasher softens so it can be wiped off

[@susanschneider-baker49]

In a pinch to get permanent marker writing off non-porous surfaces spray with Lysol spray and rub.

[@sarahsayed1689]

See I use the matte scotch tape and you can write on it with permanent marker. Leave one end folded over and itll peel right off when no longer in use.

[@tjeanvlogs9894]

You can just put a layer of cardboard between the stacked jars for safety in a pinch. Consider puting a Bungie cord across the stacked shelves. It limits the "high gravity" episodes given how tight your pantry is. It's not the loss but the clean up that gets me. It's always the messy stuff that bounces off and splatters on the hardest stuff to clean up.

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

I agree. I did find some cardboard from broken down amazon boxes today and grabbed them before my husband could get rid of them. It's temporary at least till we add the shelves in between. There was just so much wasted space with how tall the shelves are to just put one layer of jars. Were going to be making some adjustments with the shelves. My husband made them years ago before I got really big into canning so they were not designed for mason jars clearly 😂 Thanks for the tip 😊

[@deborahharrison815]

Sounds like you are a busy Mom. Can’t worry about perfection, function and order is important.

[@InfiniteArt248]

I love Your cabinets and drawers🤗 Your Husband is a rare gem❤

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Thank you! 😊 ❤️

[@J_LOVES_ME]

Your pantry is fantastic! I can't even imagine how much food you go through weekly with such a huge family. Being so remote, having backup pantry groceries would be an absolute necessity! I have been to Colorado many times, and I know about the flash floods you are talking about.

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Thank you very much. I really appreciate that! The flashfloods were horrible the past two summers. Our area was affected by the Cameron Peak fire, and all the debris washes into the streams in our area. It's a mess when we get rain.

[@judiehavard4903]

I totally understand the amount of food you go through. I was the oldest of 9 children. So I started very young helping Mom take care of younger siblings. Doing house work and babysitting and cooking full meals by the time I was in 5th grade. We were all brought up to do for ourselves and help in the house. Making lunches for all was like an assembly line. It took 5# of potatoes to make mashed potatoes for the family with a potato masher. And 4-5 loaves of bread a week. We made our own cookies and cakes. I was 16 before I realized that birthday cakes should come without finger swipes. 😆 So many more are taking their children out of public school. If you could explain that process. And tell how you got started and errors along the way. That is very valuable information. A pantry is never fully organized. It changes with your family and their tastes and needs. Also the seasons with your garden and how much it produces. It is always a work in progress. I put my yeast in a zip lock bag and then put it in the freezer. Making salmon patties is good for a quick dinner. And can be used as a snack. Just make a dipping sauce for them. There were 5 boys and 4 girls in the family. Even the boys had to do their turn to wash dishes. One to wash and one to dry.

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

I absolutely enjoyed reading your comment! I can relate a lot to that lifestyle. Assembly lines and finger swipes 😂 I will be posting a Homeschooling video either this week or weekend, as I've never made one explaining how we came to the decision to homeschool. 😊

You are certainly on the right path. I'm 74 but I'm sure I will learn something valuable from your podcasts. I started prepping this year and appreciate new ideas😊

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Thank you so much! Yes we do teach them about the Lord, one of the main reasons we chose to homeschool almost 10 years ago!!

[@judiehavard4903]

My pantry also saved us when my husband was out of work. Or was injured and couldn't work. And not worrying where your meals are going to come from. Or feeding my children was huge! So what money we got could go toward bills.

[@Pausereflectandbreathe]

Your husband did a great a job with the shelves! It looks very neat and organized! I love Patara and haven't tried her coal miners cake but I saw her video when she posted it!

[@cynthiamgrooms8195]

@@rockymountainhomesteadangela-LOL It Can be difficult to down size, but it has its perks as well!!! If your kids are close by, you’ll be feeding them,&/or sending frozen meals home to them, most likely for a good while, or even when They become new Moms or Dads, to help out!!! Making a pan of Mac & cheese means You have lunches or dinners cooked,& in the Freezer(!), to throw a salad with, or whatever. Plus you’ll have time & energy to try New things you may have always wanted to, but it wasn’t cost effective to even Chance mastering, or with how foods have evolved so much in My years, it may be something not even thought of yet!!! And GOD Willing, you’ll have your Best Friend aka your Husband as you’re tasting critic, which in My experience, they let you down far nicer, than kids when they don’t like something!!! I’ve always been a scratch cooker,& I’m in 3-4th years now, of Monthly pieces big & small items, towards outfitting my youngest daughter’s kitchen, who’s an even Better cook than me!!! I want her to have the Best of what I can afford, for making Anything her heart desires, along with prepping better than she is now. Just hearing pregnant women Shouldn’t eat cold deli meats blew me away recently, so now I’m gearing up for a rotisserie cooker & meat slicer, so she can make most of her favorites, but also getting a meat grinder soon as well!!! She’s wanting to go Dehydrating Before tackling Canning, as well as freezing, being a Full time mail carrier who usually ends up with overtime whether she likes it or not, so not much energy left in her especially in days that go over 100 degrees, or below freezing & rainy/snowy!!! Your pantry is Right up her alley-I’ve watched too many as well!!! Your organizing & use of space suits her well also! She’s unfortunately started this year off with a miscarriage, but we’re praying for good news every day, while she focuses on other things(a watched pot never boils!),& they plan on homeschooling Hopefully 2(her clock is ticking🫣)is the goal!!!

I am so happy to find you with your high elevation tested recipes! It’s hard (read impossible) to find a cookbook for high elevation and the elevation throws everything from times to fluid amounts to temperatures to leavening agents and on and on. I’ve just moved back to the Rockies after far too long away and am struggling to remember how to cook this high up. Couple that with convection ovens which I’ve never used before and needless to say I’ve been a touch frustrated more than once. 😊

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

YES!! The struggle is real. We moved from Florida 8 years ago and I was in a state of shock that mostly everything I made had to be greatly adjusted. We are at about 7600 ft elevation. I have so many videos lined up to share recipes on here. :)

We would make our own cookies. My sister and I would each take a cookie recipe. And would do about 6 different cookies. Nothing fancy. We did peanut butter, sugar cookies, thumb print cookies, ginger snap, or oatmeal or oatmeal and raisin. When we got the cookie batter mixed we rolled the batter in a log covered with wax paper and put them in the door of the freezer. So they were already made up for lunches and snacks. You just had to slice the cookie logs, place them on a cookie tray and bake.

Great video and very informative!!! Helpful hint, I don’t store canned jars on top of each other.

Your dehydrated items look so pretty on the shelf! Ditto what you said about dehydrated marshmallows, my children enjoy them a lot, and we’ve done the flavored mini marshmallows as well with success.

[@leonaday1515]

This is my first time watching, love this type of storing and cooking. Keep up what you are doing, you make it look easy😊

[@ruthspillman546]

What a beautiful pantry!!! Tks for sharing!!!

[@carolynsinyard1306]

My oh my! What delicious and easy cake to make. I am telling you right now this cake will become our youngest sons favorite cake.

This is an awesome video for information. I only have a med size pantry but started canning just last year so I’m slowly building it up. I made a lot of jams this past summer and fall. We have a big farmers market here in Houston and we visit it often…. Thank you for sharing your pantry with us.

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Thank you so much! I like to go to farmers' markets and buy in bulk at Azure for the other things I can't find. I'm limited to what I can grow here in our short growing season! Every little bit adds up over time!

[@MamaGlasscock]

Looking forward to your new videos! Seeing your dehydrated things clicked for me, never was interested in that but I think I’m ready! Would love to see how you do recipes with using them after they have been along with the before process. Deciding on what we would use after storing is big for me. I love all your videos so far! I hope to someday have a pretty pantry food storage like you do! What a beautiful family you have living the dream mama❤️

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Thank you so much!! I will be uploading videos showing how we use everything in our pantry for the next month. Every Saturday (or Sunday), starting next weekend, I will be putting out a weekly recap of what meals I made from what we have. I decided to give the three rivers pantry/freezer challenge a go this year. We will only (with small exceptions) be using what we have on hand for meals. No grocery stores. It'll be interesting but will show others how to utilize all types of pantry items. 😊

We just moved to Colorado Springs, we are looking on to buying land right now, I just got my first pressers canner and I’m scared/ excited to use it. The past two hours I’ve really gotten in to prepping.

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Congrats on your new move! We love visiting Colorado Springs during the summer!! I let my pressure canner sit for two years in the box because I was so intimidated to use it. Once I used it, I was so mad at myself for waiting so long! It's a great skill, and I've been doing it for years now! The hardest part of pressure canning for me was to just get started. Just follow all the steps carefully, and you're golden! 😊

Try rubbing alcohol to remove the permanent marker. Great tour!

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Thank you! 😊

[@IbaHomestead]

@@rockymountainhomesteadangela I also use fingernail polish remover to clean off permanent marker.

[@darlenerossiter2012]

Wow what a pantry. Making meals for a family of 10, makes life interesting, especially if any of the kids have allergies. Or other health problems. When the kids were small, I made meals in a large pot, such as chilies, stews, soups, etc. Then put into plastic container, such used Monarch margarine containers.

[@susantaylor8507]

Oh I have a big spice shelf my father in law made years ago I love my spices

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

❤❤❤

[@JohnFourtyTwo]

You’ve done a great job with a working pantry. I’ve lost count of the prepper/survivalist pantries videos where everything is brand new, bought in bulk at the same time, and looks like an untouched collectible instead of something like yours that’s functional/working.

[@kendrasmith6637]

Amazing pantry 😊

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Thank you! I have an update video coming up now that we added some more shelving!

[@deeatwood4048]

great pantry...it's your working pantry, no reason to worry

[@sharonadderley528]

Love all your cabinets and pantry storage. Great job!

[@godscountryhomestead1177]

Beautiful pantry…. I live in the Colorado Rockies as well, near Estes Park. Hello…! 😊

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Thanks so much! We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place!!

[@kristyreal]

Great video. I would love to have a pantry like that. I suggest storing pecans (and all nuts) in the freezer for long term storage so they don't go rancid.

[@cathykillion6544]

Enjoyed the video

[@tracyhuckaby5876]

You have a beautiful kitchen, laundry room, and pantry. I have a small kitchen and a smallish laundry/pantry room. I have adult children now and have turned one of the extra bedrooms into overflow pantry/guest room. I use glass/wine markers on my glass jars or the lids. It washes off easily with water and a rag.

[@dottiea.2186]

Applause 👏 to you and your husband on homeschooling your kids.. Great parents bring great kids...👍❤️🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

You are so kind. Thank you so much!! ❤

[@georgiafrancis9059]

Damn, your husband did an awesome job on the laundry room!!!!!

[@lifeofmatilda]

First time watching your channel ❤❤

[@coupondawnsavesalot6268]

New subscriber here. I live in Lafayette, CO just east of Boulder. I grew up in Conifer during the 80's when the only grocery store was Safeway. I'll be binge watching your videos so pardon me if I comment a lot. Thank you for sharing!

[@robyt9542]

Wow. You are sooo organized. I have only one daughter. All that food will last for ever. I love the mason jars. So neat.

[@Angel43920]

You are a beautiful person. God bless you and your family 🙏😇❤️

[@triplecreekfarm2007]

I didn’t read through the comments and you may already know this, but you can use a dry erase marker to color over permanent market and them wipe off with a paper towel. You have a beautiful home and I love all your storage space!

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Thank you so much! 😊 I had no clue. Thank you for sharing that!
