Hi Jennifer! I belong to an Orthodox Christian group and the lady who runs this group actually referred your page to us. I just call my pantry a pantry. People assume too much and pantry keeps things cordial :-) I am stocking up on canned goods and some meat. My brother, we live together I was mom's caretaker and he's trying to help me get back on my feet) has been out of work since the first of the year. We have been living off of our pantry and freezer. It has been such a HUGE blessing as I am the only one working and not making mush more than minimum wage. When I moved from Iowa to Tennessee I had no money but I huge pantry to help with things until I got a job. Pantry's are very important and if things go good and you do not need the food or won't get to it before it expires, bless someone you know may be having a difficult time.

[@mellibee100]

I prefer Victory Pantry because it sounds more positive and hopeful and like someone else said “nostalgic” too ;)

[@amandamckevitt7890]

Yes love that term! Reminds me of the “Victory Gardens” from the 1940s during the war☺️

[@theodosiavictoria7386]

How nice!! I'm going to borrow that term for mine! 💝

[@beckycanterbury4514]

My friend suggested stocking up on canned goods and bottled water each year,then donating to the food bank and re stocking. This way you are prepared and generous💝

[@raia9]

Ive tought of that, the worse that happens is you donate - however canned goods will last alot longer than one year, no need to donate each year from your prepper pantry anyway.

[@irairod5160]

@@raia9 Yes, I rotate my "emergency" supplies every spring, and donate what's going to expire within the next year. If it has another couple of years to go, I keep it. That way I don't have to start from scratch when I replenish.

[@solacescalicocritters7256]

I love the sound of your laugh. So joyful!

[@mytws]

I like Victory Pantry, makes me think of all the people who pulled together to fight evil during WW II, to them I am still grateful and humbled. Maybe I will watch the movie "Spitfire" (1942) Leslie Howard, David Niven this weekend. Heads up , you will cry at the end.

[@kerry3710]

Thanks for the movie recommendation. I looked it up and the old version is called First of the Few 😊.

[@mytws]

@@kerry3710 thanks, I realized that that was the original English title after I went and ordered, a newer. hopefully better, DVD from amazon, the VHS tape I had was from a good print, so I know it is out there.

[@kerry3710]

@@mytws I watched the movie last night (on KZbin, lol). What a good one! I discovered,after my comment, that the movie was called Spitfire in the U.S. and First of the Few I n England.

[@FaithandFlour]

So good Jennifer! I can't wait to try some of theses recipes. I love "Victory Pantry", which I assume came from "Victory Garden". My grandmothers were young homemakers during WWII. This reminds me of their "can do" attitudes and optimism as they grew their own food, a lot of which they canned to stock their pantries. They were victorious and exemplified the attitude that we should have as we plan and prepare. 💛🤗💛

[@christinehucks6997]

Victory Pantry has a nostalgic sound. I like it!

[@vicinalucinda]

I agree 😊❤

[@lisaseidenkranz3211]

I love Victory Pantry. I read a lot of books from homemakers during WWII England. I love Victory Gardening. They really saved their families and neighbors.

[@marisastoneobrien7834]

Lisa, Can you recommend some books for that ERA, I would love to read some of those.

[@KarenDGobsmacked]

Are you reading biographies or historical fiction from that time period? I read historical fiction, but I'd love some recommendations from you.

[@amandat1602]

Please share the book titles! I would love to read them :)

[@lisaseidenkranz3211]

Here are the book titles, all purchased from Amazon. Non fiction is generally what I read. We'll Eat Again; Margueritte Patten VICTORY cookbook ; Margueritte Patten MAKE DO AND MEND EATING FOR VICTORY WARTIME FARM, There is also a PBS series on this book. Try Prime. Let me know what you think.

[@darbyking-maillot4105]

I’ve been building my food and household supply over the last year. Usually I only worry about it going into late Fall and try to keep stocked for winter. I’m in Canada and I simply don’t want to go to the store when it’s cold and miserable. This year I just kept up with it through covid and have been slowly building. Some other things to include are items that make you happy. I make sure I have LOTS of coffee, comfort items when are sick (Vick’s VapoRub etc), fully charged back up battery packs for phones (Mophies), cash and entertainment items (Kobo with library account logged in, puzzles etc.)

[@Nmucciolo]

You’re using a mezzaluna!! One of the best cutting board/tools for the kitchen. We italians loooove it!

[@ThatSimpleLife61]

Oh yes, I always watch til the end! I appreciate that you are not overly wordy. 20 minutes or less is the perfect time for a quick breather in my day, and you give us the right amount of info and inspiration, not too much. Well done! You are my favorite you tuber!

[@christiana_mandalynn]

Your videos are so comforting on a cold, rainy day. I love these meal ideas! I love Shrimp scampi 🍤 linguine, and I have one son who ADORES shrimp, and one son who hates it, so I usual throw some cooked chicken in mine. We make homemade pizzas, too! The fact that you make it about 1x a week encourages me to put it into our weekly meal plan. I recently made it using the Stonefire Naan flatbread from Costco, with everyone picking their toppings, and my husband who was skeptical said it turned out really well! Normally I make my own dough. But the Naan flatbread was a quick fix, one rainy Sunday afternoon! I love your concept of a “Victory Pantry”. This is what we do, too, and we did not need to even go to the grocery store during all the panic buying of 2020! (Except for fresh fruit & vegetables) Buying extra of what you eat, plus having a little 25 year shelf life food, is such a blessing to have on hand. It’s cool to see so many of my pantry staples in your pantry!

[@jmcast3195]

I started to stock up this summer. I have never kept much extra food, so it has been a challenge trying to find an organized place for everything, and also a mental challenge to buy some of these bulk items. We don't have a walk in pantry, so I converted our upstairs linen closet to a pantry. I put the linen items like tablecloths and fitted sheets in a bin for under the bed. A lot of the food was on baker's racks in our hot garage, and I realized that it wasn't a good idea and that I had to find somewhere in the house.

[@sharonfernandez2739]

Your pantry is awesome and you look stunning . 👍

[@Angelaisabellaful]

It’s a bit difficult because we’re vegan, but my tip is just to have my daughter sprouting seeds for a garden. She loves it. Though we shop, we’re prepped so we can have lots of vegetables to stay heathy. This helped so much. Thank you! I like either pantry. But I do prefer Prepper pantry. 😀

[@prvbs_31]

That scarf 🧣 is beautiful! I like victory pantry.

[@dorcas9466]

I just love your channel, Jennifer! There's so much variety, I always enjoy your content! ♡♡♡♡♡

[@sugarplumk2381]

I love your scarf Jennifer. It’s lovely on you. I don’t have much space in my kitchen, just cupboards so I just stock up on a canned goods. We don’t do “prepper” or “victory” pantries here in Australia. People who live in the country no doubt stock up because they live so far from shops.

[@sueg.k.6377]

I've only associated "victory" with the victory gardens during WW2 - it's the perfect name for a stock-up pantry! Much more uplifting.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I love your well stocked pantry Jennifer! Your meals looked delicious as always 🌹

[@wanderingteacup39]

Victory pantry, like Victory garden, sounds more nostalgic and positive to my mind. I’d be interested to hear how you rotate and store things.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Good morning, Jennifer! All of your meals looked so yummy, especially that shrimp scampi. 😍 I'm glad you guys enjoyed that way of making your BBQ ribs. It's definitely a favorite of ours. Oh and thank you for your great tips on the prepper pantry, I really should work on that for us.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you, Mandy! I love your cooking videos. Your ribs recipe was excellent. I think you cooked yours on a lower temp. I might try that next time. ~ Jennifer

[@victoriaann9942]

I like the nostalgic sound of the Victory Pantry and Victory Garden. They're uplifting while also motivating us to be purposeful. Thank you for touching on this topic. I've had a preparedness pantry for many years, and it's proven itself very useful.

[@karennoske3008]

I *LOVED* this video, particularly the pantry info. I've been making a list for the store over the past few days and have been contemplating a pantry-style haul and now, I'm all in. I prefer the term "Victory Pantry", as I have such deep affection and admiration for the Homefront Honeys who took their jobs as homemakers seriously as part of the War effort. Having a well-stocked pantry really does give one a sense of victory over fear or panic, doesn't it? Well done, Jennifer! And that mac n' cheese looks ridiculously delish! Thanks again!

[@calicokitten6121]

my preference would be for 'victory' pantry. has such a positive, less 'dooms-day-ish' feel to it :)

[@gibsongirl9046]

Victory pantry for me. This is good information and your meals look delicious. I did learn the lesson that nasty little weevil things will chew through anything; unopened pasta, powdered milk, flour bags, nothing was off limits. I now seal everything up in freezer zip lock bags, glass, or freeze. I also learned my lesson buying too many canned goods because they had expiration dates that weren't as long as I assumed. A large family wouldn't have any problems going through large stock but us singletons might.

[@katkat521]

Oh, Anderson's brings back wonderful memories of my late uncle who lived on a ranch in Santa Ynez! Now I want split pea soup!

[@barbsfreedman9216]

I love Victory Pantry! Just sounds so more joyful.

[@kellidominguez7167]

New to your channel and trying to simplify my wardrobe to capsule. I just purchased a square scarf and I'm going to try to incorporate scarves in my wardrobe. Can you do a video on different ways to wear scarves and can you show us all your scarves you'll be wearing for Autumn/Winter please. Love your meal videos too.

[@dailyequanimity]

I really enjoy these videos that cover your recipes, meal planning and dinners of the week because I love trying new recipes and creating in the kitchen, and of course, your homemaking and ten-item wardrobe videos are huge favorites, as well. First, you look so pretty in today's video and I love that Mont Kiji scarf. I may splurge and take a closer look, because the first one you showed in an earlier video caught my eye. The pastrami sandwiches looked delicious and I was happy to see that The Hat has a location near me in Lake Forest. Now, about that difficult lemon squeezer, I used to own the exact same one and gave it to my sister. I have very small and likely weak (LOL) hands and it was too hard to use. I now have a small plastic one where I squeeze a lemon half into the container. I still have to strain the liquid for seeds, but it’s manageable. I’m going to make your shrimp scampi with linguini, because I made your linguine with clam sauce and it was wonderful. I’m hoping to make the split pea soup in a slow cooker, as I don’t have an Instant Pot and hope it works out. I'm looking forward to your macaroni and cheese recipe when you do a video on that. Regarding the pantry name, it seems many like the word “Victory” for its positive and optimistic outlook and I do, too. I know being “prepared” is an essential part of being a home connoisseur and living well. Prepper is taking from the word “preparation” and this may be a triggering word for some and not for others. I’m completely at ease with either one, “Victory Pantry or “Prepper Pantry” since I read the latter as “preparation” by choice. Perhaps, “Chic Pantry,” “Planned Pantry,” “Prepared Pantry” or “Ultimate Pantry” would be other ways to go. Whatever you decide, I still like looking in your pantry, because I always learn something that makes my life better. *smile*

[@leahjsherwood]

If you have sourdough starter then sourdough pizza is a doddle! 2 cups starter 2 cups flour 1-2 tsp salt 5 tbsp olive oil At this point, I just eyeball it it’s so foolproof

[@nicolelakra]

This makes 4 individual pizza crusts. I make it ahead of time and freeze. My pizza dough recipe: 6 2/3c all-purpose flour, 1 T salt, 2 t sugar, 2 1/2c warm water, and 4 1/2 t instant yeast. Of course, activate the yeast with the warm water and sugar. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Combine flour and salt with water mixture. Knead well and allow to rise for 1 hour. Punch down. Allow to rise another hour. Divide into 4 portions and use or freeze. I do this recipe in a bread maker, in a kitchen aid and in a food processor. It all works.

[@brendachurch9531]

Thank you for mentioning “Pea Soup Anderson’s”. I lived in San Diego for many years and ate at the one in Carlsbad many times. It was a wonderful reminder of that lovely restaurant. ❤️❤️❤️

[@ry9640]

Thank you for your videos… I love homemaking, but as you know it can be daunting sometimes! Your videos always seem to come at a time when I am about to fall into a rut and need a fresh bit of motivation.

[@beatricemartin4852]

I prefer Victory pantry, to me prepper pantry has a negative connotation. Growing up my family had a pantry that could sustain us for years, I think that’s the way most people lived. Stock up on a good buy or jar all the produce while it’s in season. My parents would buy, from the butcher, a whole lamb or half cow, prep the meat for different meals and freeze it in a huge freezer. We would come home from school to mounds of meat that my parents and grandmother were hand chopping into different meals. Or tomatoes, apricots, butter, yogurt, orca leaves, whatever needed replenishing. I miss seeing them working together like that.

[@NormalJenniferG]

I had never heard the term Victory Pantry until you said it in this video. I love the sound of it, but I tend to call mine our overflow pantry. I don't have an actual working pantry, I store my pantry items in my kitchen cupboards, so any time we have stuff that won't fit in those cupboards, stuff that overflows, I put it on shelves in the dining area. It's not pretty, but it's functional and it's allowing me to stock up during these interesting times.

[@karenejkleinfineart]

I prefer Victory Pantry because it reminds me of a Victory Garden and sounds hopeful. All your recipes looked delicious. You are a really great cook! Thanks so much for all the wonderful dinner ideas. xo, Karen

[@jodycourt]

I think the key to a good pizza crust is to bake it at a high heat -- 450 to 500 degrees. That way the bottom crisps and it rises quickly.I love split pea soup and lentil soup which are made similarly at my house. Some ideas for toppings for lentil or split pea soup is to add crisp, crumbled bacon, sour cream, and green onions. Oh, and croutons. I guess I haven't heard of victory pantry so mine is a prepper pantry. I did plant an extra large garden this year so perhaps I have a victory garden for my prepper pantry! Great pantry ideas. One thing I think gets overlooked is salt. Gotta have some flavor. Thank you.

[@tinahugall6291]

We call ours a Prepper pantry, but we have been actively been building ours over the last few years. We include all regularly used household items as well (toilet paper, tissues, laundry soap, first aid supplies, etc.)

[@Heather.C.ButterflySage]

Victory Pantry or Liberty Pantry. In alignment with the Victory Gardens of the earlier part of the century. It conveys a sense of personal empowerment connecting with the collective of humanity, and humble roots. Love this video, Jennifer! And all of your videos, really. Love the meal prep, capsule wardrobe, monthly Chic Assignments...Thanks for all you do. It's a pleasure.

[@AngelissimaASMR]

Hey Jennifer! I would love if you filmed some updated Le No Makeup looks. You look so pretty and polished and I'm loving your current makeup look =)

[@danafairbourn688]

I enjoyed your last video on the prepped/victory pantry. I too try to have an emergency food supply. I am in the process of identifying 14 meals that could be made, in large part, off the shelf, then trying to store items for those meals. My goal is to make one or two one or two of those meals a week to be sure to rotate my supply. If I use fresh ingredients like vegetables, I try to store dried veggies that could be used in emergency situations, that have a very long shelf life and are basically an insurance policy. For example, I keep ingredients on hand to make taco soup, but have beef tvp stored for an emergency.

[@deannab9511]

Being prepared is always a good thing and even more so now. I'm making sure we have enough of what we need, also I like the idea of not having to go out but every 3 to 4 weeks to stock up on the fresh produce. Thanks Jennifer!

[@suew2928]

Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy these meal planning/prepping videos. My husband is always amazed that we never run out of any necessities - I always have a spare or 3 tucked away. A little good planning ahead makes for smoother days and we could all use that.

Hi Jennifer, I just started a prepper pantry, so I'm glad you covered this today. I barely have 2 weeks of extra food, and I'm still working on it. (Where to put everything is an ongoing question.). Here on the east coast we're facing a larger number of predicted hurricanes than usual. It's high time we stock up and think up about back-up power, heating, etc. I am leaning toward 'Victory Pantry'..! : )

[@bevjo7158]

I call mine “pantry like my mamaw’s!” Lol. I’m 62 and I can remember my grandmothers having a lot of food stocked up in their basement. Most of it was food they had canned from their garden. But they also had other grocery canned foods and a stocked freezer. They grew up during the depression, so they knew what it was like to do without. I learned a lot from them. One of my grandmothers would wash and rinse her aluminum foil she had used and would reuse it later. I do this with freezer storage bags. My son and husband call me cheep, but I say I’m just frugal and don’t see why we can’t reuse some things. Enjoyed your video!

[@rorysmom3]

The dinners looked totally yummy! Your kids must be very agreeable eaters.

Thanks for the meal ideas. I call it my Prepper pantry, but Victory pantry sounds sweet.

[@bonbonsews9327]

Hi Jennifer In the last couple of months I have started a prepper pantry of foods that my husband and I would eat anyway. We also started a square foot garden this past season that was mostly a fail :) because we put it in the wrong place. This weekend will be spent moving it to the other side of the yard. About a month ago I also purchased seeds from an heirloom seed company here in Ohio. This past summer all the hardware stores were sold out. Honestly I am feeling anxious about our country but am trying to prepare and stay calm.

[@SW-tv4on]

I like the term victory pantry. I made your French dips from your video last night and it was a hit! Thanks for doing these videos Jennifer:)

[@ReneeRichterthisonesforyou99]

I always use Peter Reinhart's overnight pizza dough recipe from "The Bread Baker's Apprentice". I usually make a double batch because I have a large Kitchen Aid and then freeze what I don't immediately use. We built a very primitive pizza oven in our back yard and this dough is absolutely perfect for wood fired brick oven pizza. It works well on a pizza stone in my oven also.

[@Hopeful-w7h]

We love split pea soup-frugal and so nutritious! I come from farm folk, we’ve always put up and stored food. 🍁🍁🍁 You never know what the next harvest will be like...Last year we had a banner year of apples, I nearly killed myself canning and dehydrating apples. This year, a terrible storm broke many branches and blew off our baby apples. So grateful that I’ve still got plenty of apples put up.

[@leslieinadress]

I like to purée my split pea and then top with crumbled bacon and crispy potatoes ! The air fryer would be perfect for the topping.

I use the pizza crust recipe from the tightwad Gazette . 20+ years. You make dough in food processor. Flour , salt yeast olive oil. Slowly add warm water and let dough ball spin around to knead. Rest 10 minutes. Used to make every Friday night when kids still at home.

[@RoxburySchoolhouse]

I just found your vlog and love it! We too are working on our pantry. Since we make so much from scratch we bought 5 gallon food grade buckets to buy flour, sugar, rice, popcorn kernals (Friday night popcorn!), Almond Cow ingredients to make our milks, and so forth. Our goal is to keep 3 months worth of food and rotate forward as we purchase to replace what we use. Peace of mind going into this fall & winter.

[@lindawescott3824]

I love your meals of the week series! I also use your meals to make up my grocery list, replacing anything hubby doesn't care for with his fav meat and potatoes.

I prefer victory pantry. To go along with victory garden! But really shopping for weeks at a time was just normal rural life for me as a kid, and as a busy mom, it still helps to keep a stockpile of things we use regularly. I like that you keep two different stocks, so to speak - the true emergency food plus the backup food that you will use up. Smart.

Right on time! I'm a big fan of all your recipes! ❤️ I also loved the prepper/ victory pantry edition. Something my parents always did - to always be prepared (which is chic!). Perhaps it's also a large family-thing 😂 I think it's a great addition to your 'dinners of the week' video, considering the time we live in. I think victory pantry definitely sounds more festive 😊 Love from the Netherlands

[@jessicaz.1901]

I love this bread machine pizza dough recipe from How Jen Does It. I have made it many times & it is so good. I think using bread flour makes a huge difference. 1&1/2 cups luke warm water. 1/3 cup sugar, 1tsp salt, 1/4 cup dried milk. 4 cups bread flour. 2tsp yeast. Select dough setting. Makes enough for 2 med/ large pizzas. Roll out and parbake before adding toppings.

[@amierikke6225]

I made it to the end! 👍 It takes me a few days to watch after you post, but I’m here and enjoy them. I’m not sure which term I’d use for my pantry. Neither prepper or victory to exactly describe me, I guess victory is closer. I’ve gone to once a month shopping with some limited weekly shopping to replenish fresh items, and if I spy a good sale on something, like roast or hamburger, I’ll buy as much as I can and freeze. I have more than a month’s worth of food and household items at all times. A question I have is management of everything. I mean organizing and keeping track of items so food doesn’t go bad. Even canned food has an expiration date, I know it can be years, but still need to be aware and rotate items so that nothing is waisted.

[@emilyemmet454]

I love the Pioneer Woman’s recipe for pizza dough!

Hi Jennifer, I'll suggest you to use pesto sauce instead of tomate sauce in your pizza, when you want to vary. You can make your on or you can buy it at Costco. I usually use the Costco one, it's very good.
