Thank you for being part of collaboration. Thank you for this great recipe.

[@pikecreekfarm]

Most welcome 😊

Can't wait for more videos.

[@lindaharrison780]

I used meal planning when my child was at home, but when she married, I just hit and missed with it. I needed this video to kick start me again. Thanks for sharing.

[@pikecreekfarm]

Glad it was helpful! I need the kickstart too

[@kellydice1723]

I just organized my freezers and canned certain foods to make space for newer foods. I also took inventory . It feels good.

[@lavernebufmack5091]

I too, will only be buying milk products and fresh fruits and veggies. Would you believe I did this the inventory just before Thanksgiving. Well I did and my daughter helped with this project. I am ready for canary!

[@mamadianneshomestead1568]

I love making lists also. Enjoying Canuary

[@pikecreekfarm]

I just need to get better and completing my lists. 😀

[@sourmissg]

[@krisvillanueva3939]

Very helpful. Inventory will happen today as well as reorganizing as I have an organization mess. Going to see what I will use versus give away.

[@pikecreekfarm]

Sounds great!

Mine will come down this weekend I think. At least the tree. I do it in stages 😂. Thank you!

I am working on my inventory right now. I am starting to try out freezer crockpot meals to add to my canned meals. It is a lot of work but it's so worth it to plan!

[@pikecreekfarm]

Sounds great! They will be convenient! I do some freezer meals but not for crockpot so I am interested.

[@carole6779]

Happy New Year! 🥳🎉 You've already inspired me to purchase a planner this week. I'm a list person also but my lists tend to be on scraps of paper. I think the planner will help me focus. Meal planning is a 2024 goal. Really looking forward to Canuary! Also love the idea of walking the different state parks... that may be another fun goal for the year... 🚶‍♀🌳 And I agree with other comments ~ love your down-to-earth approach. Your videos are always a joy to watch. 💖 Thanks so much for all you do! 😊🙏

Thank you so much!!! My lists were always on post it notes lol. So hopefully this will help. What is the causing, 21 days makes a habit?

Thankfully if I plan it right I don’t cook every night! Happy New Year! I think all of us watch Leisa!

[@debbiealtman5373]

@@pikecreekfarm quite a few people watch her. I like cooking a meal that I can eat on for two nights so I don’t have to cook one night. But not all meals are worth eating on two meals. Only some.

I am hoping to learn more techniques from everyone. Not going to a store would be hard with sales. Going to start a garden this year to do my own fresh items. Want to learn how to dehydrate the stuff too. Have fun i be there to watch and cheer you on.

[@pikecreekfarm]

I definitely want to be strategic and stock up this year. Less going to the store is better! Dehydrating is something I want to learn too and do more of

[@Mrs.HardnackFarms]

Happy New Year Renee. I am trying to add my friends on this new channel. Beautiful Christmas tree. I don’t have a pantry in this tiny place no room but we are trying to get our house built and I will have a nice pantry. I hope you have a very blessed week. I have this farm and it’s crazy busy but I try hard to bebop around and watch my friends. Potato salad sounds so good right now. Yum. I will get to be organized as we move into our new home. Until then it’s chaotic. Wendy🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@pikecreekfarm]

I am so excited for you to have your new place. How exciting that must be! Thank you!

I hope so too! Thank you so much. 😊

[@katharvey7324]

I canned turkey broth yesterday from the turkey carcasses from Thanksgiving and Christmas. Used up some of my scraps that were also in the freezer. I also did some meal prepping and put up veggie soup and some French onion ground beef and rice casserole. Since two of my three pantries are packed up (having all the floors in the house replaced) I’m limited to my freezer and the one kitchen pantry. I don’t think I’m going to have any problems figuring out what to eat this month, lol!

[@pikecreekfarm]

That French onion ground beef and rice casserole sounds amazing!!! We have a full pantry and freezers plus home canned items so we should be good. I’m glad you have access to one pantry! How exciting to get all new floors. That is exciting!

[@dededammann9108]

I'm doing something very similar where I'm not necessarily denying us from the grocery store but only getting a couple of things each week. Using what we already have. This week's grocery haul was 1 container of sour cream.....that's all

[@pikecreekfarm]

That’s awesome! I will pick up minimal items but not “pantry” items.

[@Sandi1202]

I will only be buying fresh dairy products. I started but have not finished the inventory 🤪

[@pikecreekfarm]

I still have a lot to inventory 😳

[@pikecreekfarm]

Thank you!! That is the best compliment I could receive ❤️. Have a happy new year

[@sharonsplace5146]

I am following along with 3 challenges but trying to do my own version. Still grocery shopping some while concentrating on more planned meals using what I have is my current method. In the past lack of planning meant run to the store and get something to fix in as short a time as possible. Well duh!!! What could be quicker that a pantry meal? But I haven’t been pre-planning. I too love keeping a planner and lists. I just set up the S.H.E. Index cards and 2 week year system, and so far I love them. But, I still use my planner for meals and major events.

[@pikecreekfarm]

I need to look into those cards. That is new to me. Good for you for taking these steps!😀

[@mtnestrobin]

After watching the pantry challenge for last two years I’ve decided to jump in and DO IT this year! Lol, and of course waited until the last minute! I grocery shopped last night and today I’m in the basement inventorying (and dusting) my 1500+ jars, three freezers, and dehydrated stuff (and watching you). This doesn’t make sense, but…I can because I hate to cook! It’s going to be a real personal challenge putting my pantry to the test, along with my cooking skills (or lack thereof)! I’d rather find out now what my weak spots are than in a real emergency.

[@pikecreekfarm]

Wow!! You were really busy! And that is a great plan. I am excited to see how I can do this month! Let me know how it is going for you. And my home canned food is “fast food”. Better than take out and economical!

[@micheleredfern7374]

I need to do inventory :/

[@pikecreekfarm]

I do to. Clearing some stuff out and then working on that
