Simple Pantry Meals and Snacks ~

[@erinb.5103]

Jessica, you are amazing young lady. God has certainly blessed you in motherhood and homemaking. It’s quite a joy to watch you during the pantry challenge. You’re an inspiration of the old adage waste not want not. Have a blessed upcoming week.

[@janettespence6083]

Totally agree ; you are incredible after having your 9 baby , god bless you from France ❤❤

[@rinscriv]

You are a superhero Mama you don't need to apologize for wearing your PJ's. You are a mother raising the most beautiful souls. Blessed people like you exist.

I am a retired 75 year old and I love to stay in my pjs until about noon, after cooking breakfast and cleaning house.

[@beckymay439]

Oh my gosh! The big boys fixing Hanna's hair - I can't even! I think my heart burst! 💗💗💗

[@Basswife26]

I can’t believe how big Hannah looks!! She doesn’t look like a baby anymore! 🥹🥹🥹

[@From-the-Boot]

Let me just say with everything going on right now, I am so glad I can look forward to this refreshing content on Sunday mornings. I also appreciate that your content is for EVERYONE and ANYONE. Thank you!

[@threerivershomestead]

Thank you for watching! 😊

[@jcav7]

I find genetics so fascinating. Little Abigail looks just like her siblings and it is so adorable!

[@NancyPisanzio]

What a blessing how your children love each other! So sweet how the big boys keep moving Hannah's hair out of her eyes.

A great help to settle the stomach during flu is heavy syrup in canned peaches. This trick was given to my daughter years ago after their second trip (2nd illness) to the ER because my young grandson was so sick he had become dehydrated, couldn't keep anything down. He said to get canned peaches in heavy syrup (only heavy syrup) and give him 1 tablespoon. If he kept it down for 15 minutes, give him another one in 15 minutes. Continue this for an hour. If he kept it down for an hour and was feeling a little better, he could have 2 or 3 tablespoons at a time. I'm sure you could can peaches with a heavy simple syrup to keep on your shelf. It works, I used this when my son got food poisoning. When he had nothing left in his system, and had the dry heaves, it worked great. He was an adult and skeptical, but agreed to try it. He is a paramedic and was shocked that it worked! I always keep a couple cans on my shelf and cycle them out as needed.

[@SusieBellProctor-u8d]

What a fantastic tip, thank you so much!

[@sheraeduncan2980]

Ye. Jessica hit that the sugar Really helps

[@cherylcranford8908]

I'm keeping this tip in my arsenal, kids and adults alike the bugs going 🤢 around this would sire help

[@tennagrover6140]

My grandma called a chicken shepherds pie a coop pie. Food is medicine. You are such a loving mother.

[@paulinemaclellan8204]

I call my pork shepherd's pie a 'sty pie' 😊

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

So sorry your children were sick. Really enjoyed your video. Blessings

[@AZJH8374]

Sorry, Jessica. I sent that comment to Loraine Sow The Land at the end of their video & it went to you. Congratulations on the birth of your daughter. You walk with Christ and that brings me joy. God bless you all and many prayers 📿 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale

[@renamaemcdonald2075]

So glad you're all feeling better. I remember when all of us 10 children got sick at once. It was never fun 😂❤

[@marywells7833]

I praise you for being a good tuff mother.I cant imagine having 8 sick children at one time.Im so weak stomach when someone gets sick Im sick too.

[@marydingus4360]

Love to see David baking again.❤

[@Imjetta7]

You amaze me. I had seven children and was NEVER able to function at this level. God Bless you. ❤

[@TwoMomsandaBaby-SouthernStyle]

The Norovirus is vicious! And I have heard from our pediatrician that it’s actually pretty resistant to any kind of medicine or vitamins. Basically if you’re gonna catch it, you’re gonna catch it. And you just have to let it run its course. I can’t imagine having 8 sick at once. You’re a superhero for getting through! Prayers for recovery!

[@Challway]

How beautiful! You are not only BLESSED BUT TALENTED! I love seeing your family! They are all so loving! Rare in todays world.

[@janetfuhrmaneck3149]

Praying that you and Adam stay healthy!

[@debbiepickel73]

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! ❤❤❤

[@kkandjfischer2903]

This lady right here is, such a organized, creative, hard working, beautiful mom of 9..So girlfriend you wear those pj's if that's what makes you comfy! And less laundry to do 😉 Everything looked delicious you made, and Abigail is a beautiful baby, those big eyes are absolutely gorgeous! 🤗

[@marykappesser5145]

I was just imagining norovirus in 8 children at the same time. My oh my. !! I admire your positive attitude. You are a wonderful role model to young mothers.

[@sherinichols6404]

It is always a privilege to watch you take care of your family. You always show yourself and every one else such grace.

[@rachelsearls6452]

So sorry you all dealt with that sickness! Not fun!! So glad to see your video today. It’s a comfort during a difficult time. My mom is nearing the end of her life so we have been staying with her in the hospital. So your videos are so appreciated! Love y’all!

[@threerivershomestead]

God bless you both 🙏🏻

[@positivelycarly]

Hannah in her beanies is priceless. Also the shot where the older brothers are getting her hair out of her face was so sweet. Hope all are well. Take care ❤.

[@stephencameron1709]

Yes definitely pajamas for Mamas! You continue to amaze me with all you accomplish. So glad the children are improving, poor things! Praying you all stay well and for better sleep for you. ❤️🙏🏻Val C

[@AZJH8374]

One thing l did when my only son & child was born 33 years ago. I saved the newspaper on his birth day ! He's excited to have it & see what was going on the day he was born. He said he'll look at it when he's 50 or 60! ❤❤❤❤

[@OkieJammer2736]

I LOVE that your Pantry Challenge has been joined by so many other content creators and thousands of good people around the world. Well done! 💯😊💛

[@elizaC3024]

Oh my gosh has Hannah ever grown. Abigail is just so precious. Praying that all of your family is on the mend and you, stay healthy.

[@bobbiek2960]

I’m 64 and I had that bug for 24 hours for the first time ever. Love ur videos 🙏🏼💙🥰

[@AZJH8374]

For the 1st 4 1/2 minutes of this beautiful video, the greenery above your head makes you look like an Angel 😇, or flower child. Just beautiful!❤❤

[@cynthiatait7708]

Your recipes are so basic yet SO AMAZING!!! Your ideas and meal planning are PRICELESS, I can't begin to tell you how much i have learned. Little Miss Hanah and Abigail are PRECIOUS, David is ADORABLE....we have watched all your precious children grow up... Priceless!!! You look great and motivate us all to live in calm, plan, and adjust YOU are a Gift to us...THANK YOU, THANK YOU for another great video!!! Prayers sent to cover you all. ❤.

[@SimplyMilled]

I’m a mom of 7 and I’ve been milling our flour for a year now. I absolutely love it! It has led me to eliminate a lot of convenience foods and cook everything from scratch. It’s been so good but so time consuming! Your videos inspire me so much. I would love to homestead someday. What a blessing and wonderful opportunity for your kids to grow up learning!

[@MargieBenson-dv9ek]

Everything looks amazing. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤ Happy Birthday David🎉

[@myriamvalentin4]

Yes! I learned the baked beans tip from you and now I do it every time after I make slow cooked ribs. I actually just made some yesterday. We had leftover scalloped potatoes with the baked beans and there were little bits of rib in the sauce and it was incredibly scrumptious. My kids love it. I will never waste the drippings again! Will continue to do this. Thank you for all the practical advice on getting creative with leftovers.

[@gloriadavidson8599]

Jessica what a week but you still managed to feed your family with great food ❤ Girl 👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 As always a pleasure to watch Love from the UK x

[@glendaharding4884]

Good morning my dear friend, you always amaze me by what you get done, especially being post partum and with all the children sick!! Glad everyone is on the mend, wishing David a belated Happy Birthday!! Alot of love went into the meals you made - it was obvious!! Have a blessed week and look forward to your next video!

[@kezru1581]

Hannah melts my heart ❤ loved the high five with mom while helping making Jello.

[@mireksip180]

Thank you Jessica for more wonderful, practical ideas! You keep me motivated! God bless you and praying for you and your family!

[@JackBystrom-f5x]

I love how your kids are so happy and so loving to one another. You wear many hats in your family and you do it so well.

[@katieyungen1647]

I made your apple bbq sauce last fall, and we are absolutely loving it! It's always hard to find a store bought bbq sauce with decent ingredients especially no HFCS, and I really love having homemade sauce! We even have enough to make bbq chicken pizza now, which has become a favorite! Thankyou! Glad to see you are doing well! ❤🙏

[@amandaballard971]

I’ve been waiting all week for your video!!! I’m so happy it’s here now 😊Thank you! Great Sunday everyone!!!!

[@kaybusby7507]

Glad everyone is feeling better. All the meals and loving care helped too. Thank you for sharing your family and ideas.

[@jemreandeau3583]

You a such a hardworking Mom. Beautiful meals and lovely children. God bless your family.❤

[@DollyJohanne]

There is so much love in making pancakes one at a time in your PJs so that every kid can get warm pancakes when they get up for the morning ❤ You been really blessed to not have had Noro virus before in the house. I have thank God not have it for years, but my sister and her family has had it so many times. The kids bring it home. There are always a lot of it here in Norway around the end of the year and in January. Thanks for sharing, love and blessings from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴

[@catracampolieto8989]

All of the food you made looked delicious. I can't wait for garden season. Glad the children are feeling better. Prayers Adam, Abigail and you don't get sick.❤

[@susanmueller1411]

Beautiful bright eyed Abi, she is so alert and engaging. Hope her siblings are recovering. 3 weeks postpartum Mum, you look amazing 👏. Xx

[@lindascott6637]

Thank you for sharing your life. It is wonderful to see you use everything and not waste !!

[@Bobbijart444]

I'm sending the most healing vibes to you and your family!!! I'm glad baby didn't get sick!! I do hope the audio fixes ❤

[@dianaburns6879]

Sorry that you have had sick children but am happy to hear they are all on the mend. Glad that you are taking time to take care of yourself also. What an advantage to have so many food options available with the pantry. Wonderful that you not only had quick meals to make but also so much healthier than quick trips to the store. Wishing you a healthy and happy week and plenty of time to enjoy that beautiful new baby.

[@kimberlycrawford1298]

Happy birthday David ! Sweet 16 , you are growing up so fast; I enjoy cooking; , I’m not much of a baker, It takes us all , your mom is so wonderful, I enjoy your videos every week! Thanks so much for sharing 💕

[@Zinbin15]

Oh my goodness... Benjamin had the sweetest little face when he was unhappy about lunch! I have a 4 year old too and I've seen that same expression. What a gentle mama you are! I've found that spoon feeding helps too when they're hesitant to try something. Sometimes just getting them to take one bite is all it takes to convince them!

[@OkieJammer2736]

Happy Birthday to David! 🎈 Wow. 16 yrs. old now.

[@valjalava1951]

Congratulations on your new baby ,,you sure are a great mom nice to see all the wholesome food you make for your family

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

You had great meals with all the sickness going on. I'm so glad everyone is better Jessica. Ty. Can't wait for the birth video.

[@jillmarie4155]

I hope everyone stays healthy. I've had Norwalk and I don't wish it on my worst enemy. It's that bad. Great video. You have a beautiful family and new baby.

[@kham1211]

I love watching you with your children. And your new addition is adorable! Congratulations and I pray that you and your husband have many wonderful years together.

[@Zinbin15]

I haven't watched your videos in a while, but I really needed some inspiration for meals. I definitely got that, thank you so much! I also just wanted to say it's so clear that you are a wonderful mother. Your older kids were so gentle and loving towards little Hannah. Of course no family is perfect, but really it's obvious that you have such a loving family.... what a light all of you are!

[@lorelei9393]

So glad y'all are on the mend. Best wishes

[@janenichols3880]

Getting over 4 days of Noro virus! Feeling a little under the weather still! Tea and toast is helping and chicken broth that I canned. I’m glad to have it on the shelf!❤ Blessings To you and your family!❤

[@threerivershomestead]

God bless you 🙏🏻

[@amysano5424]

Happy birthday to your son. My daughter turned 16 on Jan 19. You are an amazing mom. You have so much patience.

[@KathyHopkins-m8k]

Hope all are feeling better Abby is just beautiful… couldn’t help my thoughts though when you said she’s been keeping you up…- I think babies thoughts are always well mommy, you wanted me to come out, so here I am 🥰 If I lived closer you feed her and I’d be more than happy to sit up all night with her 😊😊. You could get some rest and much needed sleep, and I could rock her, snuggle her and just hug her, only time you’d hear a peep would be calling mommy because I can’t do that job anymore 😄. Take care Jessica 🤗

[@Mamato3]

Yay for fresh milled flour! I always thought it should be prepared with sourdough only because of high phytic acid contents, but a recent podcast with Sue Becker changed my whole outlook on the subject. I no longer worry about it!

[@CDJMiniRanch]

Happy Birthday David. Thank you for the video. I'm glad your children are feeling better.

[@lucindasutt7365]

You always amaze me on the really yummy foods you can put together because of your canning recipes and preservation practices. What a wonderful skill you have taught yourself and all your children. As old as I am, there is always new things to notice and learn when I spend my time with you and your family and I so enjoy it.

[@deekolbe1052]

Hi Jessica, first let me say how much I enjoy your videos. I have learned so much over the time I have been watching your content. You do a great job, thank you! I wanted to share a couple of things I have learned when converting recipes to use fresh milled flour. For soft wheat I generally add 1/4 cup extra flour to what the recipe calls for. For all recipes, after the lowest amount of flour the recipe calls for has been added and mixed in. I let the mix "rest" for at least 10 minutes before I decide if I need to add more. It takes the whole grains longer to absorb the liquid. This gives me a better picture of what the consistency truly is. I find that when the product comes out super dense it is because I have added too much flour. I also love that you called your chicken pie a homestead pie. I make one using pulled pork and I call it Piggy Pie. It is also very delicious. Thanks again for all you do!

[@beckymay439]

You continue to amaze and inspire me with your fortitude. I had one guy throwing up for 12 hours and I was wiped out after. (physically and emotionally.) Funny I was just thinking of making a similar dish for dinner tonight. I'm calling it: Turkey Shepherd's Pot Pie.

[@daralynnhale1565]

So much admiration and strength with His guidance and patience!!!! Enjoyed!!!!!

[@CathyLarkins]

Jessica you are such a lovely, kind and amazing human, momma and wife. I hate waste and always try to use up all leftovers or freeze it for future use. And food doesn't have to be pretty to taste amazing ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lisamorin6537]

My Dad and Grandparents are from Northern Maine. We have buckwheat pancakes often as bread with our meals! They are called ployes which we love and are a large part of our heritage.

[@oksanasolo6842]

Thank you for showing very adorable Abigail.

[@patriciadillon3602]

The farmhouse pie looks and sounds delicious. I love to watch you and the kids. Abigail is adorable, as are all your children. God bless you and your family

[@DebraGraumenz]

Sending healing love to you and your family. You are a super mom taking care of such a big family. I love your organization and planning. I never miss a video. You have every right to be comfortable. No apologies needed. So sorry your family got sick. Looking forward to your spring planting. You are amazing mom!!!

You are a glowing mother. What a blessed family Abby is a beautiful baby, the kindness of your children is wonderful.

[@dianebondhus9355]

I'm glad your family is feeling better now, that must have been a rough week. Our son was in the hospital with pneumonia. There are some really rough bugs out there right now. Have a blessed week! 🌺

[@bonnie5601]

Dear Jessica, Happy Healthy Birthday to David! You are looking well and Abigail is growing! This video was wonderful, as always! Thank God the children are all well now. Please continue to get rest and have a Blessed week!

[@janeknight3597]

Bless for coping with the big NV . Thinking of you❤

[@JT-2012]

I'm so sorry everyone was sick.😞 Years ago, I got that virus on a cruise ship. Fortunately, the sickness didn't hit me until we were walking to my car, after disembarking. I love making broth but the spouse keeps thinking it's dinner.😬 It does smell wonderful.😄 Have a blessed week.🙏💗

Happy 16th Birthday David xx sending love from Northern Ireland in the UK xx

[@sandrawyrick]

Enjoyed it! Happy Birthday David! The baby is adorable. Thank you for sharing your sweet children with us. Some channels won't show their babies faces. I understand though. All the meals looked so delicious.

[@celestejohnson9227]

It will be nice to try the hot chocolate. I’m lactose intolerant and received a nut milk maker from my son in law. It was through an online auction house in Las Vegas for $15. I use dates to sweeten as well as my homemade vanilla extract. Big savings from buying the boxed milk alternatives. Marshmallow fluff sounds like a wonderful addition.

[@amandaforeman2626]

I got the norovirus before Christmas . Nasty bug , hope the kiddos are feeling well !

[@carmiejones8289]

You are so creative using up this and that! You always inspire me to try using up my bits of things.

[@rachelseibert7882]

It all looks so delicious! You are amazing! The cake looked beautiful 😊

[@09echols]

During the beginning of C, when the stores were empty and just about everyone was in a pantry line, I received several cases of applesauce. Last week I ran out of milk so I substituted a can of applesauce for it and the eggs. I didn't tell anyone because I didn't want them to say they didn't want it before trying them. They loved them. I'll be making them more often to go through the cans.

[@AyouaregreatR-qo9hq]

I love your videos. Your Baby is so sweet .😍 All your children are behaving very well. So you can be very proud of them all. You did a good job. I like how you are avoiding to waste food. Love from the middle of Germany.

[@shepstrohm]

Now I'm stuck thinking about buckwheat pancakes! 😅 My grandfather made them for us a few times and I've made them a few times myself over the years. I've always used a yeast recipe - as he did - that sat in the fridge overnight. Yum!! Maybe once we have some syrup from our maple tree....

[@justpatty7328]

Lovely video! Happy 16th birthday, David. You did a great job on his cake.

[@jackiegeib8344]

Watching your children enjoying meals is making me hungry

[@kathrynsoper247]

Can you show us your meal worm farm and how are you manage it? I’m very interested in growing them for our chickens.
