My father-in-law has always been REALLY good at throwing away things people need. He actually DID throw away my mother-in-law's sourdough starter. But that's NOTHING compared to the time he threw away my SAFFRON because HE didn't know what it WAS, therefore it HAD to be trash, right? Hooray for OCD! You wouldn't BELIEVE haw many things he's thrown away throughout the years. Usually because he didn't know what it WAS, or what it was FOR, occasionally because he thought it was trash (Dad, if it was TRASH, WE would have thrown it away), and another big one was "I thought you were DONE with it/FORGOT about it". That LAST one set back MANY a recipe when our room temperature butter/eggs/cream cheese got put back in the fridge.🤦

[@Imthebrownunicorn]

I just want to say that I absolutely love that you post long videos. Long videos are so important for those of us who aren’t experts and need details and explanations of exactly what to do and why. Thank you Mary

[@MarysNest]

Glad you like them!

[@HJ-le7ce]

I love the Long videos. I listen while I'm cooking or cleaning

[@veronicamaria2730]

When my family was growing I went through yeast quickly, but now much more slowly. I completely forgot about freezing yeast to extend it. Thank you!

[@mobius9818]

Hi Mary, I adore your videos! Recently met a new friend from out of state and we compared notes and who knew! she watches you too!!!! I wanted to mention to you re: baking powder....you can MAKE baking powder from 1 part cream of tartar and 2 parts baking soda. That may get us past having to worry about the expiration date. So in my Prepper Pantry, I have stocked baking soda of course, which does not expire AND about four ounces of cream of tartar, both well-sealed of course. I have had baking powder "go bad" on me once, so it DOES happen, of course right when you need it, and of course you might not know til AFTER you have tried the recipe!!! Cream of Tartar can come in handy for other things as well.

[@MarysNest]

Wow!! How about that!! And thanks for sharing the great tip! Love, Mary

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Good for fasting too It’s a potassium source (cream of tartar) Fasting might be mandatory in near future as we have less n less to eat

[@sleepinglioness5754]

I learned more from this video than in my whole lifetime! Thanks Mary. It's always so relaxing watching your videos. Feels like we're all sitting around your table with you. God love you for sharing your knowledge.

[@MarysNest]

You are so welcome!

[@pamt3915]

White sugar is my staple. I can add molasses to make brown sugar when I need it. I can also make confectioner’s sugar by putting the desired amount of white sugar in a blender for about 30-45 seconds. I save pantry space for other staple items.

[@dellanira6327]

You've become like a second mom or big sister to me. My goodness. Thank you for these lessons. 🤗

[@Deba7777]

Mary, you are so delightful to listen to and you're such a great teacher! You are very easy and interesting to follow and very clear in your progression of the ideas. I really always want to do more after watching you. God bless you and your family!

[@MarysNest]

Hi Deb, Thank you so much! Love, Mary

[@Mamarita3333]

Yes! I can listen to Mary forever! When I’m feeling stressed out I just go to one of her videos because her voice is so calming!

[@grandmasewhappyhomestead187]

Because I want you on my TV all the time and there's no way for me to respond unless I grab my phone I just want to say I so appreciate your channel and all that you share. Many times I find myself with a notebook even at the age of 64 we can always learn different things. I've been a mom little over 43 years and I do canning different than what my family did I expand on it more. My mom is 83 years old she doesn't do canning hasn't for many years and I'm the only one in my family in line that is doing it still. But I love that I have a pantry because I'm able to bless other people and not only be prepared here but feed people on a short notice cuz I can just go to my pantry shelves. Today it was so fun I was able to send home some canned goods with my mom to make meal planning easy for her.

For general storage security (from moisture) when my soda came in larger boxes I moved it into heavier, rectangular, plastic (juice) bottles. Todate I have been Very pleased with the quality over the course of the last 6 years . Fingers crossed all🙃. Hoping we all can keep to Mary's lists and methods so our lives are just FAR Better and Healthier.

[@heatherstergos8003]

Mary, I just want to say thank you again for the loving, non-judgmental, welcoming way you deliver your channel. Similar channels have been popping up in my thumbnails and I've checked into a few of them. There is so much judgment and so much " you should" and so much " if you aren't doing...buying ..using...this particular thing than it isn't good enough" that I was really surprised. It almost felt like experiencing high school cliques again, lol. There's a sense of failure before you even start. I think right now especially when things in the world are stressful and uncertain and people are trying to do the best they can for themselves and their families, they don't need judgment, they need support and encouragement. You offer that in spades: A comfortable place to learn and try things that may be completely foreign. I think most people genuinely do the best they can, and you make that absolutely ok and that's awesome, especially now. So thank you.

[@MarysNest]

Hi Heather, Thank you SO much for the kind words!! I am so happy you are on this journey with me. Yes, all we can do is the best we can do. And the last thing we need is to judge what others do to take care of themselves and their families. We are all in this together and need to support each other with love and kindness. You're the best! Love, Mary

Maybe thats why in the south, baked beans with onions bacon and molasses are popular...we eat it as a side now but i wonder if they were originally a stew of sorts..God Bless Y'all!!

Hi Raelene, Thank you so much! Love, Mary

[@CharliesMom1956]

Hi, Mary. Thanks for this video. I actually have most of these items, but there are some I need to get, or renew. You know, the dry malt powder also makes a great addition to chocolate milk or to ice cream to make a chocolate [or other flavors] malted milkshake.

[@appalachiannana7975]

[@russbear31]

You can also make baking powder in an emergency if you run out. It's simple: 2 parts cream of tartar 1 part baking soda It's also nice way to get rid of that old bottle of cream of tartar you've had in the cabinet for 5+ years. We all have bottles around that we bought for only one recipe and then don't know how to use up the rest of the bottle. 😃 Some people swear by this recipe because it's a cleaner version of baking powder that is aluminum free.

[@MarysNest]

Great tip!

[@mobius9818]

Actually I use two parts baking soda and one part cream of tartar....

[@russbear31]

@@mobius9818 No, you have it backwards. I just reverified it by pulling my copy of A Taste of Country Cooking, by Edna Lewis (A 50-year-old classic where I learned the recipe.) Several websites, including allrecipes, has instructions too. It's 2 parts cream of tartar + 1 part baking soda.

[@billie5057]

I love watching you so much! You are relaxing to listen to, and your advice is so practical. Thank you!

[@FineFeatheredHomestead]

Sound recommendations for everyone who cooks or bakes, and for all who have yet to learn. I'm so pleased I have all these on hand! Part of my learning curve in pro-active homesteading is when we're running out of something - instead of putting it on the shopping list, I mentally flip a switch knowing it's time to make it. We ran out of bread. So, I just used 3/4 bread flour and 1/4 AP flour for a sandwich bread recipe, and it really came out nice! We ran out of crackers and cookies. So, I just made snickerdoodles to see that warm, happy smile on my family's faces. Then I made a "Cheese-its, but Better" dough to try tomorrow. Instead of paying $15 for those 3 items, I didn't spend a penny and have 2 fresh loaves of bread, 4-dozen fresh cookies, and enough dough to equal a box of crackers. I'm thrilled I realized how much quantity as well as quality homemade staples and snacks provide. That's money saved!

[@MarysNest]

Hi Victoria, Great tips! Love, Mary

[@Mamarita3333]

Thank you beautiful Mary for such wonderful videos that I keep going back to over and over again! I keep watching your videos over and over. I’ve seen them all but going back to watch them again I always get something I missed! Thank you!!!!!

[@kalulu1675]

I'm so glad you mention olive oil for skin. Let me tell you what I do with it that has been wonderful. I use it to cleanse my face, take off makeup. I used to have a lot of skin problems, but they have mostly cleared up now. It doesn't matter the quality of the olive oil for the face, but you do want to use a pad to remove it rather than wash over the sink with a wash cloth because it can clog up things. AFTER you remove with a pad, THEN you can wash with a cloth if you like. Also, I use a half-and-half mixture of olive oil and lanolin for moisturizing skin AND hair. I don't really measure them--you can try your own combination and see what works best. I soften the lanolin a few seconds in the microwave so it'll mix together with the olive oil. I keep it in a dedicated old condiment bowl (porcelain) where dust won't get in. It keeps almost forever. How to Use: Because my hair is long and fine, the ends are liable to get dry and split. Long hair at the ends often has the life washed out of it by the time it grows out that far. I shampoo only the scalp out to a few inches of hair and then rinse. The soap running down is enough punishment for the ends. I take that olive oil/lanolin mixture (only a little because mine is so thick) and rub it in my palms and then apply lightly to the ends of the hair. (I take a small section of hair and rub in the oil from my palms.) Also, I do the same with my skin as needed--for me it's an everyday moisturizer alone or under makeup--very, very light, though. This has totally improved my routine. But you have to keep it up. You can't just throw this on the problem and expect overnight results. It's more of a maintenance procedure, but it's so very simply and you don't need to spend money on hair and skin products.

[@Editbyhelen]

Excellent video I love your staple recommendations!!!! Ordering that dry malt, never knew about this!! Thank you!

[@cenedraleaheldra5275]

Thank you for the info on vinegar wound soaks! I cut my finger on chipped enamelware and it hurt terribly for days, even tho I washed with soap & water, followed by iodine.

Hoosier Hill has many fine items for the pantry! Milk solids, dried cheese, lots of stuff!

[@UnigirlTx]

In response to the vinegar segment, my oldest daughters used to get ear infections a lot growing up. You know how it goes in public schools. Their pediatrician told me to use equal parts white vinegar and isopropyl alcohol and put 2-5 drops in each ear twice a day for 7-10 days. If the children are old enough to tell you that their hurts start putting it in at that time. I have done this and cut out the pharmacutical antibiotics (along with some other natural remedies) .

[@MarysNest]

Great tip!!

[@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340]

I love the Hoosier Hill whole milk powder and my son loves the white cheese powder for popcorn. You can also make a drier sourdough starter for in the fridge. Just bought a gallon of molasses for my prepper pantry lots of vital vitamins and 25 plus pounds of flour to keep in the freezer. Hope people are starting to prepare, because bad times are coming and sooner than we think. This is a great list to start. Started my vanilla extract because of you as well as cinnamon, and almond oh and coffee and am so glad I did with the prices now. Herbs de Provence is one of my everyday herb mixes for pork, turkey and chicken along with garlic. Just ordered several pounds of garlic powder too, I go through a lot in a month and it's so much cheaper in bulk.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Get wholegrain and a grain mill and grind it fresh urself No freezing necessary I have garbage cans full of grain. 25# of flour is just a tease.

[@loriparker2440]

Hi, Mary. Once again, I'm lovin' your videos. So informative and helpful. Now, I'd like to offer a suggestion to add to your pantry: AGAR AGAR POWDER. It comes in different forms but I find it easiest to work with the powder. This is the gelatin substitute I prefer to use, particularly in sweets but also in soups, stews, and gravies. It actually absorbs 3 times it's weight in water so it's a great addition to a smoothie for those of us who want to lose weight safely. I sometimes add it to my coffee to ease constipation. Agar is high in protein, perfect for vegetarians and vegans, and has an almost infinite shelf life as long as it's kept in a cool, dry place (like a pantry or cellar) and is kept away from sunlight. Once used, it should be either immediately eaten (if used in hot foods) or refrigerated if used in puddings or other sweets. It can also be used in place of pectin for jellies. What I love most about it, though, is that it never goes bad as long as the unused portion is kept in a tightly sealed container. Well, that's my suggestion anyway. I hope you know how very useful your videos have been to me this summer. Thanks to you, my pantry is getting well stocked and I feel much better prepared to the difficult winter that's being predicted in The Farmer's Almanac this year. PEACE

[@MarysNest]

Hi Lori, Such a great tip! Love, Mary

Mary, I love your reminders about pantry keeping but I'd really appreciate your help with a new twist. My hubby is a diabetic. So now my jams are not so useful. Do you know about the storage times of sugar substitutes? Also I think you should do a video on mouse proofing your pantry. I had an invasion ten years ago and it was horrid.

Keep all in glass or heavy plastic or metal containers. No packages, paperboard or crinkly plastic. Even the wax paper bags in boxes isn’t safe. I keep bulk in 5 gal buckets or (new) garbage cans. Sweep up all spillage whenever using pantry/root cellar/larder.

I wouldn't keep any flour on hand besides all purpose unbleached. I wouldn't keep yeast, barely malt powder I hand as I bake more cookies and bread cakes (banana/pumpkin bread) than yeast risen breads. I'll consider keeping arrowroot flour on hand in addition to corn starch. Same for pickling/canning salt in addition to iodized table salt (most often used in baking sweets), kosher salt (for my avocadoes), and sea salt (for general seasoning). I plan to start canning and making kombucha so I'll have to keep those on hand. I appreciate those tips. I like the idea of having a raw sugar instead of white sugar on hand but it's so much pricier than white. I've learned with baking sweets that honey and maple syrup are not interchangeable as their melting points and "water" levels differ greatly. Molasses is something I always keep on hand for baking even though I rarely use it. That said I had no idea there was so much iron in it. I've been meaning to pick up dry milk powder so I can make my own "portable" coffee creamer. I always keep various extracts on hand- vanilla, almond, lemon, peppermint (and some others that I can't think of right now lol). I also keep about 15 dried herbs and spices on hand and my mom's spice blend plus mine which is a combination of hers and Mrs. Dash Table Blend. I agree to always keep white vinegar on hand- so many household and culinary uses. Didn't know it even came at 9% acidity. I always keep cider vinegar on hand too plus white and red wine vinegars, rice vinegar, and a little balsamic vinegar. Never knew it was so easy to make cider vinegar. That was fun to learn! I always keep regular and extra virgin olive, avocado, grape seed, and both refined and unrefined coconut oils as well as ghee on hand. I love how throughout the video you've mentioned things and then told newbies to you like myself that you have videos on those too!

Thank you for this wonderful video. I love and use avocado 🥑 oil and 99% of my now oils/salves are in avocado oils, but olive oil has been in my family home over 60 yr life and love it. Thank you again love it🤗🥰

Do you have a video on storing flour? I am looking for small space option? Do you freeze your flour? Please advise. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@MarysNest]

Hi Laura, Here is my flour series: kzbin.info/aero/PLkRuW3pBo2U1qvwsw8LT5PdHQ-eExoK13 I don't freeze my flour. I store it in a 5 gallon bucket. But mainly I store whole grain because it lasts so much longer and then I grind it fresh when I need it. Love, Mary

[@lauraboenig2341]

My daughter has taken up baking. She loves to whip something up on a moments notice. Especially at night. One her favorites treats is edible cookie dough. Even though she "cooks" the flour, I worry about the food safety of it. Any advice?

[@barbarapadgett5538]

Avocado oil has a hi smoke point so is good to fry in.

[@barbarapadgett5538]

Avocado oil is not a rancid oil as it’s generally cold pressed .

[@Savedbygracethroughfaith_7]

One could also just stock All purpose flour and stock a supply of vital wheat gluten to add to the AP flour to make "bread flour".

Great idea!

I used coconut oil and a few drops of tea tree oil on a horse wound. The tea tree oil kept the flies away. Healed up beatuifully. Both oils are very medicinal. Another medicinal i grow is chameleon plant. It is invasive but the whole plant is edible. I keep it in check by regularly making a tea tincture ( strong tea i water down later) mixed with peppermint( also invasive). A great,healthy tea. God blesd!🙏😀

[@debbieolin8153]

A horsey person!! Gentian blue has fungicidal properties that never took off in humans because folks didn't like purple toes. It is used on horse hoofs so you can easily find it at Tractor Supply. That is another property of tea tree oil. I have several small bottles of tea tree oil because it is a natural fungicide and great to treat wounds as you found out.

Love your videos and have tried many of your recipes too. Do you have any ideas on how to stock a pepper pantry on a budget ! Even when covid hit and we were told to stock up on basic things like flour and yeast and different things I had such a hard time. I'm on disability and so I don't get any extra money to be able to save additional staples for emergency uses. Any ideas would be great. I already get as many whole grains and mill them myself.

A winner as always Mary, thank you so much! Rasins contain iron, it's something the Red Cross has recommended you eat about a week before you are scheduled to give blood if you ever have a problem with the iron level. Just an FYI 😉

The iron in plants first, is non-heme iron. Very poorly absorbed. Second, is very small amounts in plants, compared to meat and eggs.
