6 Months Into our Garden Sabbath Year | a Pantry Update

If you want to know more about the shelving we built to hold all these jars of food, here are links to the video series we did on the build process:

We started canning on June 6 for the first time. Canned meats, stew, soup, apples, pickles, blackberry jam. We’re up to about 72 jars in a month. Lots more planned. With power outages in south Texas I got concerned about having a lot of frozen meat and vegetables. We could lose it all quickly. My wife and I would help our grandparents can as kids. We’ve decided to bring back preservation into our lives. We’ve shown what we’ve done to others down here in hopes of inspiring them to begin preservation as well. It’s the smart thing to do. Plus it’s so easy once you get rolling. Thank you showing us what you’re doing and guiding us through. We are trying to learn all we can and share all we know. The times we’re in, who knows. Plus the food is much better and tastier. Thank you from Dan & Helena

With the pumpkin, make homemade ravioli using it in place of butternut squash. For the ravioli dough, use 300g all purpose flour, 2 eggs + 3 yolks (you want 185g of liquid so you can add water/olive oil to make the difference) and 2 tsp salt. You can also make spinach/ricotta ravioli at the same time. Freeze on cookie sheets if you have leftovers. I have a Kitchenaid mixer with the pasta attachment but you can roll your dough by hand. Trust me, it is delish!! Love you and Todd! I'd rather watch your channel over cable TV any day! Thank you for making content!! and GREAT content!

Last year we had a stellar year in our garden. We canned everything we could, plus gave away green beans and tomatoes. Who knew what was going to happen. We had an elderly aunt who took a turn for the worst and we have needed to devote time to her care. As it turns out we will not be able to make a garden like we did last year. We are going to rest the oldest beds until next year. We believe God gave us the means to prepare for this time.

I use my home canned sweet potatoes to make a breakfast hash, or dinner hash with sausage, onions, peppers, and sometimes eggs. The canned pumpkin can be made into a soup, or just drained and roasted, you can do that with the sweet potatoes too. You can use the sweet potatoes or pumpkin pureed in any number of sauces, or even mixed with flour to make pasta or gnocchi. And as always you can direct from the jar puree it into baby food.😊

Your pantry is testament to your hard work both in the garden and the kitchen in previous years, good job Rachel.

[queenbec]

I love your videos. You were my "gateway drug" to gardening.

[juliewilliamsnewzealand]

Wow you are doing great! My suggestions are as follows: instead of using your potatoes in the airfryer, use your sweet potato, even more yummy than spuds! Use sweet potato instead of spuds when doing a family roast. make a roast vegetable salad using pumpkins, squash onion sweet potato LOL Make sweet potato dip to have with crackers OR add sweet potato and garlic to hummus for some different yumminess :) ALSO for the carrots that Todd doesnt like, when you open them reheat them with some orange juice and maple syrup OR coat them in orange juice and a spice like Cumin and make carrot chips in the air dryer. Mix the carrots in with the hummus with some spices for yet another taste sensation :) LOL Hope you try some of these :) xxx

I read in the bible what you are doing and so proud of you to hold your faith so high I am sure God will more than refill that pantry for being such good stewards. God bless you both

[katie]

I think what you are doing is great! And that you have plenty of food to make it through this year of rest. When we honor our creator by taking care of His creation like He asked us to, He looks after us. Trust that He will take care of you love. Look at the Lillies and the birds ❤

[justpatty]

The stock is looking great 6 months in! God bless you both, the family and all those watching.

What is cowboy candy? Sweet potato and squash ideas; soup add a few carrots, cube boil and mash instead of mashed potatoes add drop coconut oil and cinnamon, cube boil till al dente and fry with onion garlic drop of cinammon. Hope that's enough ideas.

[FriendsDriftInn]

Cubed (soft cooked) sweet taters, black beans, a few red onions makes awesome taco/burrito filling. Pumpkin makes a great soup - combined with stock, heavy cream, maybe a splash of white wine.

[judyblaise]

You could make sweet potato biscuits, French fries, muffins, pancakes, French toast, creamed sweet potatoes or potato salad. I love all these

[jenniferr]

Pumpkin is excellent in chili. Love canned sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots in pureed soups... Solo or in combo.... I use alot in dog food...

[staceya.]

I think it’s great that you are thinking about what you’ll get from the Farmers Market. Those folks will truly appreciate your support. I’m rooting for y’all and love these updates!!

[monical]

I am so green with envy of y’all’s basements! Done here in southeast Texas we are too low for a basement! Only 14’elevation from the Gulf of Mexico. My storage is under beds and in closets. Your set up is super! The pumpkin can be made into pasta. We eat it with butter and pork chops. The squash can also be made as a casserole with chicken curry. Hope this helps you to consume your canned food.

[amyeuler]

Sweet potato baked oatmeal is one of my favorite ways to use up home canned sweet potatoes.

The potatoes and pumpkin/squash ideas: soups, curries, flat breads.

[annebrasher]

Sweet potato on the bottom, taco meat, black beans, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and the best part mango salsa
