I'm so excited to be participating in this year's pantry challenge hosted by Jessica @threerivershomestead! I love how it pushes my creativity in the kitchen and encourages me to use the homegrown goodies we spent the last year growing and putting away for just a time like this! I hope you enjoy coming along for the ride - Becky

I can’t wait to see what you come up with this year! ❤🎉❤ Did you watch the potato video from HollerHomestead when they planted the long “eyes” shoots. He planted them just like sweet potato slips. When it was time to harvest I believe it was the same as with seed potatoes except the potatoes were deeper. If you haven’t watched it yet go take a look. You might want to try it too. I’m trying it this year. Can’t wait

I'm single and live alone, don't have much pantry or freezer space but every winter (December to February) I do my own mini-food challenge by making 1 recipe (usually 2-4 portions) every week with ingredients languishing behind. It pushes me to be creative, clears out my pantry and freezer, saves me money and sets me up so I can defrost/clean the freezer and clean the pantry. Every year I find weird stuff I forgot I bought and every year I discover at least one new favourite recipe! Right now I have a box of king prawns defrosting in the fridge that I bought for a bbq that got cancelled last summer. I'll get two generous meals out of that this week and I am looking forward to it! OK, it's a bit harder to get excited about tinned tuna or canned artichokes, but playing with new recipes is always fun! 😊

@karenlayton6162 5 месяцев назад

Just a thought for your potatoes: I buy the large bags at Costco (best price) and I wash then bake them all. After they cool I slice them in half and put them in reusable plastic bags and put in the freezer. When I want any type of potato I just take as many halves as I need out to thaw and use them. It works good for me and my husband. This way I get the good price but I don’t waste any because it’s only the two of us and we just don’t use the large quantities fast enough anymore. ( Unless the kids and grandkids come over) Beautiful Pantry you have, thanks for sharing 😊

@misterphib 5 месяцев назад

After potatoes being frozen, do they taste ok? Only reason I ask this is because I have bought frozen French fries, hash browns, steak fries and the texture and the taste I don’t like..

An idea for your potatoes: homemade pierogi! They're so easy to make, they just take some time. They also freeze beautifully. I make them up, boil them, melt some butter on them, and then freeze them. Just basic cheese and potato are simplest.

@jenniferwooley673 6 месяцев назад

Hi Becky, if you watch Little village homestead she par cooks potatoes like diced potatoes, homemade fries,potato wedges. She par bakes them and flash freezes them for convenience potatoes with meals. That could use up your potatoes so they don’t go to waste.

@Passioakka 5 месяцев назад

So do I, half of the harvest fresh in my fridge and the rest goes into the freezer. Perfect for lazy days or when being sick. My freezermeals and other ready to go stuff has been a blessing the last two months while I have not been able to use my right hand due to an accident. Just throwing a bag of chopped potatoes from the freezer in the oven with some oil and spices.

@phyllissharman1067 5 месяцев назад

Use potatoes and lard make homemade French fries or potato chips to serve with hamburger. You can also use hamburgers as crockpot Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes.

Capers are also delicious in tartar sauce! I love to make what my grandma calls salmon croquettes (canned salmon, egg and flour formed into patties and pan fried) and I make homemade tartar sauce(mayo, whole grain mustard, worchestsire sauce, capers, dill, lemon juice and dill pickles)

Blueberry Sauce 1 cup blueberries 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon lemon juice Combine all ingredients and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened, abut 3-5 minutes.

My clean-out-the-fridge quiche is a hit in our home and is the perfect use for those shelf-stable cream boxes. It has pantry challenge written all over: pull a dough from the freezer and the filling can be made from whatever you need to clear from your fridge/freezer/pantry, plus a couple of eggs. Loved the video!

I'm moving to a smaller apartment in my current building. So downsizing is now a must do. I've gone through my pantry and unfortunately most of the cans have expired.

First let me say as a 57 y/o woman how much you have taught me! I love your videos. I’m going to do my own version of the pantry challenge, as I have been re organizing my kitchen and small pantry. I just used the electric Presto canner I got as a Christmas present today for the first time canning salsa! Your tips are invaluable to me and I always looked forward to one of your videos.

@carblarson8868 5 месяцев назад

What I love most about Becky is that she doesn’t mess around, she just breezes through things so she can get out of the kitchen. Same way I do. I know my son would say that I have a floor area that I go back and forth quickly on, so stay out of that area or you will be run over. I always make extra of things that can be frozen, so I have fast meals in the future.

@AshleyBuffy-qe5iq 5 месяцев назад

For your potatoes, you can cook them whole in the instant pot then grate them into hash browns. Just don’t super cook them so the potato is still firm. It makes the most perfect hash browns super quick. Just an idea if you’ve never tried it before to use your potatoes up!

@lesleykelly9095 5 месяцев назад

Here in Scotland we all love red lentil soup made with a ham hock. Just lentils, leeks and carrots and then little pieces of the meat from the hock added at the end. So simple but so tasty! Love your videos Becky. Xx

@superheroteach 6 месяцев назад

You could dice, and Blanch your potatoes, and freeze them and you wouldn’t have to buy frozen potatoes for your breakfast casserole and breakfast burritos. Do the same for French fries. Potato soup, American fries with gravy, mashed potatoes, potato bread, crockpot roast with potatoes and carrots…

@tammybruinsma1328 5 месяцев назад

Potato soup is another way to use both your potatoes and onions. It is one of my winter favorites. Love your videos Becky!

@mgreen3943 5 месяцев назад

Carrot cake baked oatmeal, carrot salad with apples and a walnut vinigariette, Baked brie with honey and walnuts. A carrot souffle with candied walnuts. Just a few ideas I thought of while watching. If you have Green beans, you can use the cod or some tuna for a Nicoise-style salad to use up some of the capers. I can't wait to see what you come up with. I am not doing a pantry challenge because I don't have much of a pantry. But this inspires me to cook more!

@KitchenFairy61 5 месяцев назад

Ham hocks make a great potato soup in the Instant Pot. Here's my recipe: make a base with the ham hocks, add 1 tsp of salt and ¼ tsp of ground pepper. Once the broth is done, pull out the hocks and pour onto a large container and let it cool to skim off the fat if desired. If you want to puck off the meat from the hocks,, do so when cold. Brown some chunks of ham and hock meat if you chose to do so, and 2 medium or 1 very large onion, chopped in butter using the sauté mode. Once the onions are translucent and the ham is browned add in the cooled broth and pressure cook for 15 minutes. Let the steam naturally release for 10 to 15 minutes or according to your IP's instructions. Then vent the IP so you can take the top off. Peel 4 to 6 large Russet potatoes and cut into 1" cubes. Add to broth and pressure cook according to the directions for your IP. Once the the IP has come down to the point of being able to take off the lid, give the soup a taste for seasonings. Add more salt and pepper if desired. To make a thick soup, mash some of the potatoes. For a Really thick soup add in potato flakes until you've reached your desired consistency. Just keep in mind that the soup thickens up once refrigerated. I often add in one washed and finely chopped leek to my soup when I'm cooking the onions. I also like to use Bob's Red Mill Potato Flakes to thicken the soup because they don't leave a chemical after taste the the name brands have. 🤷‍♀️ IDK if others can taste it, but I can. I hope you all have a Happy New Year and that you enjoy my recipe.

Have you tried making fried potato tacos or mashed potatoe tacos? During lent my mom used to make those on taco Tuesday. Also a tip I have for you is I worked in a grocery store overnight before and the produce guy used to lay a thick cloth over the potatoes every night, I started covering my potatoes and it helps with the sprouting . 🌱 I enjoy watching you vlogs they are educational and entertaining, I watch every episode. Bless you and you little family.

Just an idea as your freezer foods are used, replace the space with water bottle to freeze. It keeps the freezer from having to work harder and nothing is wasted, as you can thaw the water bottles as the freezer fills back up and use.

@lynnloehr1566 6 месяцев назад

With the rice crispies, melt a bag of chocolate chips, add to that 1 cup nuts, 3/4 cup crispy cereal, and 1 tsp vanilla. Stir until well coated, and pour into square pan line with parchment. Refrigerate 30 minutes and cute into squares. You can store on the counter, these are so good and you can vary the nuts and type of chocolate chips according to your likes. Great video. You can also puree carrots and add them to pasta sauce and chili to add texture and sweetness.

@Jackie_W82 5 месяцев назад

I'm glad to see you're doing the challenge again this year. I'm participating as well. I set aside $20/wk for produce and coffee creamer. I just finished up my pantry and freezer inventory and it looks like I have enough to participate in the challenge for the next three months. My goal is to rotate my pantry. For each item I go through, I'll put it on my grocery list to track what I eat in the winter to help me plan for what to stock next year.

@judigrant5723 5 месяцев назад

You can make mashed potato’s as normal and add 3oz cream cheese to it. Then freeze in dinner size portions. Great for shepherds pie or just heated and pour gravy over. I thaw in the fridge and then heat up. The extra liquid from freezing gets absorbed when they rest before serving. It’s been great having them to just pull out.

You can use your croutons to make stuffing. My mother-in-law used to make a fantastic stuffed roasted flank. You roll it so that when you slice it into serving sized "pinwheels", you will be slicing across the grain. I will sometimes use stuffing to top a casserole.

Becky just a suggestion for the carrots is to shred them in your food processor and freeze dry them. I find that everything I make I throw a ton if freeze dried carrots and zucchini in just to help get the veggies loaded up. I have not found anything I have put them in that you can taste. I put them in spaghetti, lasagna, shepherds pie meat, taco meat, homemade bbqs, if it has a sauce going on the meat carrots are going in, and no one is the wiser.

UK viewer here and potatoes are a stapel in our home. You could make your own oven baked fries with them they go great with a steak and corn, you could also bake a few potatoes whole and add your home canned beans with some cheese for a lunch we call it a jacket potato beans and cheese. You could also make roast potatoes with roast carrots and add some balsamic and honey in at the last 5/10mins of roasting they are so good. We love potatoes 😂 but honestly they are comfort food especially winter. I love watching all the fabulous things you grow/can/bake/cook and have tried a few recipes 😊 can't wait to see what the pantry challenge brings 😀

I’m Australian Becky, we make a one pan dish also with macaroni. Mince, Macaroni 1 packet of chow Mein. Brown the mince with garlic, salt and pepper. Add chow mein packet, 3 cups of water & 2 cups of pasta. Let simmer for 8 minutes till the pasta is cooked. Some like theirs with a dollop of sour cream on the top but we like ours as is with some crunchy bread with butter. 💜🙏🏼 God bless

Hi Becky I am a bit late but I have an amazing pumpkin appetiser recipe we ate last Christmas. 16 Puff pastry squares 6x6 inches 4 cup pumpkin purée 4 cloves of roasted garlic 4 red onions 2 ts of thyme 1 cup cream cheese Peper salt and cayenne pepper to taste Caramelise the onions, then just mix all the ingredients together and put a dollop of pompkin mixture in the middle of each square. Put a tablespoon of caramelised onions on top of the puree. Then fold the the points inwards like a envelope. 15-20 minutes at 420 degrees. These are not exact measurements so feel free to play around with them. They are also good with some goat cheese and honey.

This sounds delicious! New and different. I have canned pumpkin that I need to use. I'm not in any pantry challenge. Just over bought. Thank you.

I've never done a pantry challenge but seeing as I have just spent about 1500 restocking my freezers, cupboards and fridge, it's a perfect time to try a pantry challenge. Excited about my haul and doing new recipes from my two new cookbooks, magnolia table and the instant pot step by step. 😊

Those "random" cuts would most likely can up beautifully. Raw pack, quarts 90, pints 75. Spices & any liquid or broth is optional. Having canned meat on the shelf is a game changer! I find myself using it all the time.

I’m participating in the challenge this year even though I live in a tiny apartment and I don’t have a pantry, a garden or a deep freezer. I was inspired by your 2023 challenge videos. I’m so glad you’re doing it again.

@sheribaioa7585 5 месяцев назад

I’m excited to join in the pantry challenge again! Thank you for your inspiration!

@doloreslee9330 6 месяцев назад

Hi Becky I found your channel a little over a year ago and I love all the ways you challenged me. I’m loving your recipes. I’m a single retired person but I’m trying to cook more from scratch. Thanks for your channel.

@CloudWatcher500 5 месяцев назад

I did my own pantry challenge two years ago mostly because I wanted to see if my pantry really would sustain me. Very happy to report that I didn’t have to spend one penny outside of what I have on my shelves and in my freezer. I recommend that anyone who has a long-term pantry as well as a working pantry go through this exercise

@sandramontalvo4998 5 месяцев назад

Hi Becky, I really appreciate your honesty, and showing us / allowing us into your cleaning day. Your transparency is appreciated..thank you for always keeping it real with us. Can’t wait for the challenge, I too have most of the stuff you have in hand. But, what a great idea, on going thru the pantry and making a menu list . 👌👍

I've been making potato salad lately and have been putting capers in it! the capers being salty work really well with potatoes. Even better is serving it with some smoked salmon - yum! Another idea for potatoes in winter is potato and leek soup :)

@justcallmesuzzie 6 месяцев назад

I have been looking forward to this video! I am already deep into this challenge and have some videos out. It is you all that have motivated me to do my own youtube my way and film these challenges. THANK YOU BECKY for motivating me!

Your frozen carrots can be used in a stew or soup. Put them in a bag and freeze them all, until you are ready to use. It's just like carrots in the store freezer section.

@juanitaybarra9955 6 месяцев назад

I love ham hock with beans.

@JJR-373 5 месяцев назад

You've inspired me to go through our freezers and put in one place the things to use first. We are doing a challenge, our only rule so far is to have a £30 per week (I'm British) shopping budget. So far so good. You could make a tarter sauce with your capers to go with your cod fillets you had.

@Krista-marieT 5 месяцев назад

You've inspired me and I'd like to just thank you. Started a blog and made a bunch of freezer meals this weekend. Thanks for sharing with us. Love your content.

Hi Becky! A couple things you can use your potatoes for, Potato pancakes and they freeze well Shepherds pie.

@KimH-ic6ne 6 месяцев назад

Yesterday I used up a 5 lb bag of potatoes that were sprouting and made mashed potatoes for the freezer! 🙂

@KH-nn6kh 5 месяцев назад

I was going to say.. Shepherd pie, potato pancake, hasselback, rosti and scalloped or gratin potatoes. Onions can be used with the rosti, potato pancakes and scalloped potatoes. Yum!

@dixiebagsbydixie7809 6 месяцев назад

Love your videos. It warms my heart to see someone so young taking so much pride and putting so much effort into your home and family. Home is the most important part of our lives. The fact that you have also ceated such a lucrative and successful business by inspiring others to do the same is just beyond awesome. To use up the croutons you could crush them for a crunchy casserole topping or in place of bread crumbs in any recipe. They are especially tasty in meatloaf or as a crust for baked chicken. Praying for many blessings for you and your family as you continue on your journey.

@laurennjantz96 5 месяцев назад

You are such an encouraging blessing in this community. I tell my husband all the time I just love hearing and seeing you. You’re so real and I can feel a strong believe through the internet even hahaha. I hope you know you’re just an amazing influence and I pray encouragement and love and peace over you and your family. 💜💜💜

@lauriefite1448 6 месяцев назад

Make hot potato salad during the winter! Really good! And rather than use frozen potatoes in your breakfast casseroles, use fresh potatoes diced rather small.

@kimcoffee-isaak2921 6 месяцев назад

Yes and she could chop and freeze up a bunch of potatoes so she can just grab a bag when she makes a breakfast casserole. Or soup or any other casserole that calls for veg or potatoes.
