I didn't spend a dime (this week) on these meals. I sourced it all from my pantry and freezers. Using your resourcefulness is a great way to save money and serve up delicious meals.

Hi friends! I'm Jennifer, a fifty-something wife and mother of 7 children ages 9 - 25. We are Catholic. We homeschool. We cook from scratch. We farm cranberries. We drink coffee. We advocate for Down syndrome awareness. We are loud. We are chaotic.
Here I'll share vlogs about all these things, what I'm doing that works and what I've tried but didn't work. I hope to encourage you in your journey through motherhood, homeschooling, learning to cook, and growing in your faith through it all.

@ifthecreekdontrise Год назад

That fish made my mouth water! Loved fresh caught fish. I used to fish a lot with my dad when I was younger. I make your potatoes in the oven but I started calling them half baked potatoes simply because it’s humorous in more ways than one 😂

@acountrylife Год назад

I bet that name surprises guests. Want a half-baked potato?

@sarahjo6807 Год назад

I have all men in the house. I know EXACTLY why there's sunglasses in the freezer. 😂

@sarahjo6807 Год назад

Also, I think I'm a better cook when I cook from the pantry and throw ingredients together. Some of my best meals become repeats in this house purely by desperation.

@acountrylife Год назад

Because we use ingredients that we know everyone likes.

@ColleenH38 Год назад

We all need to take the time to shop our stash for making meals before buying more. I rarely make a meal plan but I do keep a fully stocked refrigerator, freezer and pantry. We actually turned an unused guest bedroom into a "grocery store". So on most days, I have what I need and can make good meals.

@acountrylife Год назад

Wow! How nice to have an extra room to do that.

@SSanf Год назад

And this is how rich we are. We have food in our pantries that we don't even remember putting there.

@acountrylife Год назад

It’s always good to have reserves.

@braxtonchurch4231 Год назад

Love those half potatoes. They’re a hit here n so simple to make. Love your recipes.

that was so sweet of your friend to bring you that sausage, and so awesome you had everything to make lasagna ❤

@jolene-vm8yg Год назад

I would never think of cottage cheese for lasagne in the UK we make a bechamel sauce for lasagne might have to give it a tryx

@acountrylife Год назад

It’s really the only way my family likes lasagna. No ricotta for them.

@lanagraham1661 Год назад

All of your meals looked delicious! The fish really got my tastebuds going. My grandparents were avid fishermen. We were blessed with lots and lots of yummy crappie and blue gill. Later in their lives they went fishing in the North Georgia mountains for rainbow trout. Talking about yummy.😋 Thanks for sharing your meal ideas with us!

@WillowsGarden Год назад

Hi Jennifer and sweet family! I have done the same thing, just looked in my pantry to decide what meal I needed to make. I made a pot of homemade chili so I could make Frito Pie. Only because I’ve been craving it. All your meals look so delicious. Thank you for sharing and have a blessed Sunday!

@deeengstrom2055 11 месяцев назад

I enjoyed this video very much. I'm always so proud of myself when I can pantry cook. :) I feel like it's such an accomplishment.

@HammTeach Год назад

Really enjoy watching you make meals with things you already have at home! Great way to clean out freezers and find things you even forgot you had.

@acountrylife Год назад

The forgotten items…I’m always happy to find and use them up.

@2Blessed Год назад

I grew up in WI - we did the 'Chop Suey" too, but never even called it mock, it was just Chop Suey to us! I had kind of forgotten that one, I might have to introduce my Southern Hubby to it soon! We added the Chinese-style veggies and water chestnuts, and served it over rice with the noodles sprinkled on top.

@acountrylife Год назад

Oh I’d love that with water chestnuts.

I love this kind of tips. Its have become crazy expensive in Sweden and I love too get all the tips I can get.❤

@megm4940 Год назад

Love doing pantry clean out weeks! If I have something like the green beans that I have none of I throw them on a sale watch list so when they go on sale I know to pick up on them but am never paying full price! Definitely helps us clear out stuff that’s made it to the bottom of the freezers or forgotten about so helps with having less waste!

@l.elizabethb.361 Год назад

Oh I like your floral print apron ! I would wear that, very nice !

@traciebecker6669 10 месяцев назад

I love lasagna but I don't know why it would specifically need Mrs. Dash? Most people just use Italian seasoning or oregana, basil, thyme, garlic, etc. Your home is well stocked with groceries.

@acountrylife 10 месяцев назад

This was the "secret" ingredient in a cousin's lasagna and I always really liked hers so I put it in mine.

@4:28 When Frost Watch watches you back...lolll 😎🥶😅 And I think "that kind of mom" is the BEST kind of mom because I have one of those, too! 💖😉💖 Thank you for sharing!! It's a pleasure watching you and your family as always! (not from inside the freezer, though; that would be ~eyes cold~ 😂💕)

Lasagna soup is really good with breadsticks. It comes together really quick, but tastes like you spent all day on it.

@mollysmith6055 Год назад

My mom used to make that casserole too but with two differences: a can of golden mushroom soup and a can of cream of celery. She always called it 'Chinese Noodle Casserole '. It was always one of my favorites. Your meals all looked great.

Pantry cooking is how I was raised to cook. Only holiday meals were planned ahead. Flying by the seat of your pants is a great way to come up with new recipes AND save money.

@kimattaway6626 Год назад

If you open both sides of can, it's easier to get the soup out. 😊

@debgordon6542 Год назад

I want to do this but when you turn the open can upside down to use the can opener on the uncut side, doesn't it start coming out and make a mess?

That apron looks so cute! But I must ask if we can have one with a pocket . I usually don't purchase one without. As always everything looked delish and shelf cooking is such a fun challenge ... You've inspired me to try that this coming week ❤ keep up the fantastic job. I love your channel

@cynthiaannblaha5127 Год назад

It funny you would share this idea tonight because one of my sons suggested we do just that….cook from what we have! I had commented how our grocery bill had gone up and he said “I have an idea. Why don’t we just use up what we have?” Looks like we will be shopping from our pantry. I don’t have much meat in my freezer, though, because I just have the ones on my two refrigerators and they are both small. But we can use what we have and then supplement if need be.

@acountrylife Год назад

Perfect idea.

@AliciasInTheKitchen Год назад

The fish looks so yummy! I could go for some fried bluegill.

@acountrylife Год назад

Try this fish breading. I think it’s the cornstarch that makes it so light and crispy.

Just wondering....why do you add water to your sausage and sauce? It weakens the flavor.

@acountrylife Год назад

Because I start with uncooked lasagna pasta and need the extra water so the pasta cooks all the way.

@Kentucky2Country Год назад

@MNTNSTARZ80. Год назад

I had to laugh at how surprised you seemed because you did what most of us do. Most of us just stock our pantry with basics and decide day by day meals according to what we have available. You're hilarious with how you act like it's a strange and unheard-of accomplishment. I've never made meal plans in the entire 42 years I've been married and my family is well fed with a variety of meals

@acountrylife Год назад

I’m not so surprised for me, but I’m trying to prove the point that even without a plan, there’s usually enough food to make complete meals without spending extra going out to eat or running to the store.

@debgordon6542 Год назад

Good for you, however some cooks, especially newer ones aren't confident enough to stray from a recipe. Love seeing what others substitute to make a meal for a large family come together :-)
