Thank you!! 😁 He had me laughing so hard. XOXO

@@TheQuaintHousewife Me too - reminded me of "the monster" in the old Gene Wilder movie, Young Frankenstein. With humor like that in your household, you have a most important "ingredient" for your meals.

If you're worried about things being delivered I have heard of several people getting items delivered and being left outside, and then they disinfect each item before bringing it into the house, so you could use that option if needed. Best of luck during the 30 days.

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Thank you :)

This is what I have been doing...

[@shootingstars2000]

Yes, I am high risk and immune compromised so we have to get groceries delivered or walmart pick up with no contact by no rolling down windows and pop the trunk but when home wiped down everything but produce. Good luck and be safe!

[@johnwilliams7102]

Your precious kitty should be a comfort and good companion to you. I just bought some corn meal for an inexpensive & versatile staple to have on hand. I have watched your videos in reverse order - you have blossomed and made great strides in your food choices and dishes. I imagine your pantry has evolved in a positive direction. You are an inspiration to us all. Isn’t it amazing what we can find in the nooks and crannies in the hard to reach cabinets.

[@haylicapri194]

Your cat is adorable!

[@johnwilliams7102]

I was fortunate to have a pretty full pantry at the start of the lockdown. I also went 30 days before venturing out to restock - then another 30 days before the next trip. I am glad you were safe and responsible and hope you and your family are healthy. Thanks.

I'm so glad! Thanks Gigi :)

[@Jeff-ql3tg]

Time to hunker down and stay safe. Creating recipes for a month with what you have in the cabinets and fridge is good way to spend time with the kids. We went shopping two weeks ago and purchased a month supply of fruits and vegetables. We found that apples, oranges, any citrus, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, any root vegetables, and onions last the longest. It’s important to get that citrus in your diet to ward off scurvy. Lettuce can keep up to three weeks if you wash, dry and then roll in a paper towel and the store it in the crisper drawer of the fridge. Our daughter loves ramen noodles so we always have these on hand. Thanks for the great tips and food prep ideas! Stay healthy and safe.

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Great tips, Jeff. Preppers are loving this right now!

[@rubyscott6685]

I love your sober acceptance of the current situation and making do with what you have on hand. I made an inventory of all of my foodstuffs and made plans for all of my meals going forward. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Many thanks!

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

It sounds like you are being smart in these difficult times :) God bless!

[@rubyscott6685]

The Quaint Housewife doing my best. Be safe

[@karenwaldrop1426]

Hi from Tennessee, I'm so happy to hear that you are staying safe. I, too am using what I have on hand. I made potato salad over the weekend and used the peelings to make potato skins. They were really good. Do you have children? Just curious when your title shows "a family of four". I would really love to have your granola bar recipe ! They look delicious ! Good job! Stay safe, my friend!

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Hi Karen, I will have the recipe available by later today. I might make it a separate video as well. XOXO

[@GS-st9ns]

I love your baking cabinet. I've never seen anything like that. It's a cross between a regular home cabinet and a library file. Really nice unique

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Thanks Sugar Free! We found it at a second-hand store. The color was faded and ugly. My husband refinished it and placed new knobs on it.

[@simonalyneenderz3247]

Beautiful fluffy rice! Gorgeous cat! Lovely Lady Housewife! We're sending you love from AZ. Wish you could pick some citrus from our trees here!

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Thank you so much! I would love to have picked from your trees. Enjoy their abundance :) XOXO

[@margal3120]

This is perfect timing as I’m not going to the grocery store for the next week OR ordering takeout. We’re using what we have and when it’s out, it’ll be out! We have plenty of fresh and frozen fruit and veggies and onions, bread, eggs, waffles, milk. We should be ok for another week - I could go shopping but we don’t NEED to. I loved your husband’s reaction to your granola bars!! Hilarious! Plus your recipes are SO HELPFUL - thank you!!

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Mar Gal, oh you are well supplied and ready to hunker down! I love weeks like that. Feels like cozy hibernation where the craziness of the outside world is shut out! Thanks for the note about my husband, haha. Enjoy your survivalist week!

[@megakaren2160]

I have a small flock of backyard pekin ducks. I always loved my birds but now I have a whole new appreciation for them. So long as they get fed, I get fed plenty of fresh duck eggs. I have enough feed for at least a month and with the warm weather, they're going to get to forage more.

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

That sounds lovely, and happy you are staying fed.

[@nataliej7135]

Love watching your previous videos, you’re so real and it’s inspiring💕

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Thanks Natalie :)

[@butterflysnme724]

Lol, I wanted to see what was in the box that fell! But seriously I'm going to do an inventory of my pantry and prep from that. Stay safe!

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

LOL Butterfly. That scene in the video was totally ridiculous. The box ended up being empty. That was probably a good thing though. If it had cans in it the weight might have made it fall straight onto me rather than flying to the side. You stay safe as well :D

[@theresebizabishaka7605]

Corn meal is a staple in Africa. They make a thin porridge for infants and thicker consistency to eat with stews. Canned tuna goes well with ramen and makes it a whole meal. I found 2 sheets of frozen puff pastry in the freezer today that was a bit old. I put some tomato paste on top, sprinkled some Italian herbs topped with deli ham and cheese baked in the oven. It fed 4 kids for lunch and they loved it.

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Your frozen puff pastry dish sounds amazing! I did not know cornmeal was a staple in Africa. That is good. I had heard of sweet potatoes and peanuts being popular foods to eat in certain countries there. Thank you for watching!

[@theresebizabishaka7605]

My husband is from Burundi a country in central Africa. They eat a very finely ground white maizemeal as well as rice and beans, plantains, cassava root and cassava flour and chappatis due to Indian influence.

[@GlammyBee]

Great creativity for meals! Loved the granola endorsements! And cats do what they please!

[@pjl2963]

Believe it or not, I had never had rice and beans until last week! I found a recipe that bakes in the oven...we loved it! Your kitty is very sweet--she looks like my "fur niece", Willow. Thanks for taking the time to type out all the recipes!

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Thanks for visiting me again, Pamela. I love the name Willow. I bet she is a sweet cat :) On a similar note I never had tried pork and beans until I was about 23. I really loved it for some reason. I remember people looking at me funny when I talked about delicious it was. Haha.

💙🦋Thank you, thank you! Wonderful ideas and even saw a few things that i hadn't thought of to have on hand. For longest time now been a spur of moment food shopper...maybe a week ahead. But do need and want to have a more balanc ed and stocked pantry like i used to. Father born 1928 in WVa so i was raised to have a varied and decent amount of things on hand :)💙🦋

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Krystal, the older generations teach us well! My husband is the one who told me a few years back we should have a pantry of stuff to just fill when we can. If it were up to me we wouldn't have done so well. LOL.

[@Lisawhatshersname]

God bless you for making this video. This popped up on my feed at the best possible time, I've been quarantined (I'm sick, AGAIN). And I know I can't cook for the family bcz half of them have it and half don't, so we are so split up but still stuck in the same house, I'm frustrated bcz I can't do anything that I was doing. So I guess what I'm saying is thanks for keeping me sane. 😊 I know that this too, shall pass.

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Lisa, so sorry to hear you and some in your family are sick! I hope my videos do help you in some way, either for tips or entertainment. Please get better soon!

Going to try the cornmeal mush, I love cornmeal. ... Good time to do some organizing LOL :D ... The chicken croquettes look yummy.

[@fatimasa4491]

Great ideas! I am going to try the granola bars tomorrow. My back ground is Portuguese. When i was a child i used to have soup everyday. So i keep the tradition, special in Winter time. In 30 min. i make 3 or more soup bases. In a big pot i cook potatoes, carrots, pumpkin(squash), onions 3 or more {depends how many soups i am going to do}, salt and a little bit of olive oil. I cook the carrots,potatoes and onions first, then by the last 10 min. i add the squash. When cooked i separate: 1-with potato and onion, 2 potato carrot and onion, 3- potatoes, squash and onion. I put in the fridge or freeze them. When i need i take to the stove, add more water if needed, spices, and the greens:kale/spinach/ leek, etc. The squash one we can add cooked beans as well. Each soup have only one greens. For example the potato one with onion, i add the kale. I add the garlic when i add the greens. It is better to do it by the end of the week to save all the greens before to by new one. :)

[@williamacev2603]

Same here, staying away from any outside food. I just hope we will all be free from this some time soon. Are you going to have a garden this year?

Hi Allison, I am hoping we will be free soon too. I am going to see if I can do some gardening on my balcony. I have the green onions growing right now. I am limited to smaller pots so I will see what I can do. If it weren't for so many animal problems in our in-ground garden I would have kept that up :(

[@shaunaleessnackidies]

This is great content. More please. Love your creativity! Here are some things I took note of on my own to make things stretch, maybe it will help someone also. Stay safe out there! ❤️ Tips Use up fresh produce and foods first. Put water in: Salsas OJ or other juices Hot sauces Cokes Almond milk Creamer and: Shampoo/conditioners Body washes Hand soaps Dawn soap Laundry detergent Freeze half of almond milk and creamer for later. Make biggest serving size of coffee from k cup, pour small cup for right then, then put the rest plain black in the fridge. Add lentils or beans to any ground meat dishes and use half the meat like half a pound. Pound out chicken breasts then cook then dice up very small to put in soups or noodle dishes. Crush up peanuts and other nuts to use in oatmeal or Asian dishes like egg roll in a bowl. Freeze cooked diced carrots or diced onions for soups or other dishes later. Use extra corn tortillas to make homemade baked tortilla chips. Add finely blended dry oats to ground meat for meatloaf or meatballs, or to canned tuna in oil to make tuna patties. Finely blend old fashioned rolled oats anyways to make them stretch for oatmeal. Use measuring cups to ration this and other foods. Zest lemons or limes and freeze zest then juice them and freeze that for later use in things like slaw, taco meat, egg roll in a bowl, or fish dishes. Make eggs or egg whites stretch by adding water or milk, then lots of veggies and tomatoes of choice to a glass dish and bake to make egg squares to put on open-faced sammies or inside breakie burritos.

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Very useful tips, Shauna, especially for the meat! I am sure my readers will find them valuable. Thanks!

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Fam of 3.5, some of the stuff is now outdated. I don't step into that part of the house much because it's mostly my husband's workshop, so I tend to forget the stuff is there. I know the cans and tomato products will be fine even if out of date. Soon I might be forced to see if some other things are good out of necessity.

You guys do like us. I have a large family. Pantry staples are honey, sugar, stevia (one of my daughters has juvenile diabetes), evaporated milk, Nido (a whole milk powder), flour, oats, potatoes, dried beans, rice, pasta, peanut butter, cold cereal, nuts, canned meats, canned fruit, some canned vegetables & applesauce. We keep olive oil, coconut oil & vegetable oil, earl gray tea & herbal tea & chocolate chips (we must have some yum chocolate!). Cold staples are lettuce, tomato, cabbage, yogurt, butter, eggs, chicken leg quarters, ground turkey, cheese & milk For seasoning we have onion, garlic, tomato sauce, broth, bullion, salt, pepper & cinnamon. We also keep cans of diced tomatoes with garlic, oregano & basil & cans of Rotel. Lotsa flavor! I do like to keep frozen fruit & veggies in the freezer as well as orange juice concentrate & apple juice concentrate. I bake often & cook daily. With these foods the possibilities are endless for meals. I have 3 adult children & a baby granddaughter (who are now living with us during the pandemic), 2 teenage sons & then me & my husband. The only things we have to pick up (3 of the family are essential workers so they can pick up an order weekly) are the cold items & produce. It’s not a big order. It works!

You sound very sad in your video. I hope you are not investing too much emotion in all this because that can really mess with your mental health. I have been going to the store once a week. The stores are well stocked and some stores do not have limits. I went to Hobby Lobby and stocked up on some puzzles and activities to keep us busy. I also went to Dollar Tree and got some cheap crafts to keep the kids entertained. I would suggest to eat the fridge/freezer down first before eating pantry items.

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Hi, sometimes I do not "project" myself enough in videos, which sometimes sounds like me being down or bored. But I am a little weary anyway. You are so right about the mental health stuff. They were saying that alcohol sales have risen a great deal as a result of so many people out of work and staying at home! It's great that you are enjoying your activities.

Lol that footage of you looking for canned meat in remote corners, climbing with a camera on hand..not the time to be going to the hospital with a broken leg! Climb safely! In switzerland, whatever food you have on hand will not make real meals for a month. Surviving, probably. But not real meals. We don't use more storage than the pantry and the occasional brooms closet shelf with a few staples. I did stock up some in february, actually plugged in the freezer (we don't usually use that either) but it would never last a full month. We order our grocery (delivered by the daily postman) every two weeks or so, but lately thats been complicated so I actually went to the store myself. I sewed some masks and we have desinfectant spray sitting in every corner of grocery shops, with personnel checking that all people spray their hands before entering/changing floors, and staying appropriately distant. Our supermarkets shelves look as stocked as usual, with very few exceptions. No shortage, and we are peaking these days if the evaluations are correct.

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Haha, yes, the box falling was such a ridiculous moment. I am glad there is no shortage where you live and that you are being safe!

I'm really looking forward to following your month at home and seeing what you make. Especially as time goes on and you start getting low on fresh food, I'm looking forward to seeing the meals you make with limited supplies.

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Hi Melinda, thanks for following my misadventures. We'll see how far we can take it fresh-wise!

I was so excited for you when I saw the chicken. It was like the opposite of a horror movie. "Look! Chicken! A whole bunch! Right there!" 🥰😂

Haha, I was so happy to see it too! Thanks for noticing that part of my video!
