Pantry Audit, and Pantry Protein (Rumble edition) 11 Aug @ 10 AM EDT Episode 147: Pantry Audit, and Pantry Protein In this episode we'll take a look at the results of our pantry audit, where I asked you to identify the top 10 purchases you regularly make in your pantry. We'll see if there are more cost-effective, and possibly domestic options that will help with future savings. We'll also discuss pantry protein options. If beef is too expensive for your budget, what options do you have to extend your ingredients to make meals more affordable. And When Buying Bulk Isn’t the Better Option What does the coming week of weather have in store, and are you planting a fall crop?

On today’s agenda was processing some of the abundance of chocolate cherry tomatoes. Seven pints all-in-all. #holsteinhouse #bnb #wv #usa #garden #microhomesteading #nostr #grownostr

Is buying in bulk always saving you money? 🛒 Think again! I recently took a trip to the store and ran the numbers on everyday staples like shampoo and olive oil—and the results surprised me! Turns out, smaller bottles were actually cheaper per ounce than the bulk sizes. Before you automatically reach for the biggest size on the shelf, make sure you check those unit price tags on the shelf! 🔍 Read the full breakdown on the blog:

This is one of my first YouTube videos on food preparation and storage. Lemon cukes? Yep. I'm not a fan of pickles but Mr. Holstein liked them. . . . When you’re micro-homesteading, garden harvests rarely come in all at once. Instead of letting small pickings sit around until they spoil, I like to do quick, small-batch processing. Reusing clean containers to hold pre-mixed pickling brine in the fridge lets me process a jar or two of lemon cucumbers as soon as they’re picked—saving money and preventing food waste. How do you handle staggered garden harvests on your setup? Drop your favorite small-batch preservation tips in the comments below! 🎥 Watch the full video here:

Good morning all y'all from #WV #USA! #nostr #grownostr

Join me on YouTube today, 27 Jul 26, LIVE at 10:00 E.D.T. Episode 145: We'll catch up on the growing season, maybe talk about how tariffs may affect pantry stocking by fall. Make a list of what you cooked over the past week or so. Maybe we can start planning on how to build our pantry before things get out-of-hand? Oh, and whatever else you want to chat about. https://www.youtube.com/live/HcLC3h1Ov38?si=Lzu2-nMZdI-lXAK0

Goodnight moon. #grownostr

On the way to Roanoke VA to buy a transmission for his VW car. So, here’s a pic of my only pumpkin this year. #grownostr

Also, my first sourdough since last year. I have to rebuild my starter. #nostr #grownostr.

“Ox tail” stew in the slow cooker. Actually Ohio beef, but you know. #nostr #grownostr

As far as I know this event is still a go. I was originally supposed to start 8:00 p.m. but that may be adjusted some. Pack a cooler with snacks and soft drinks, grab your chairs (an maybe an umbrella) and come out for this great event! #wv #usa #gospelsing #nostr #grownostr

The garden has been left to its own too long! With days of rain, temps above 100°f, and Dad in the hospital the weeds were knee high on the 4th of July! I did manage to lift some garlic, harvest the first tomatoes, Swiss chard, and some onion this morning before delivering eggs and visiting Dad. #garden #homesteading #life #wv #usa #nostr #grownostr

I celebrate this country! Unapologetically! #250years #HappyBirthdayUSA #usa #proudtobeanamerican

🪻 Limited Edition: The Holstein House Lavender Cookie Experience 🪻 Summer has fully arrived in the Kanawha Valley, and our permaculture garden is officially putting on a show! The culinary lavender on the property is in peak bloom, which means our kitchen is filling with the incredible aroma of fresh-baked, scratch-made lavender cookies. Delicate, buttery, and infused with blossoms harvested right outside our door, they are the ultimate sweet pairing for a warm cup of morning tea or coffee. Because our lavender harvest is small and entirely dependent on the summer blooming season, these homemade treats are a highly limited-time luxury. To celebrate the harvest, we are reserving these garden-fresh cookies as an exclusive perk for guests who book directly with us. Skip the third-party booking apps, secure your summer road trip or weekend getaway on our official website, and taste true West Virginia hospitality while the blossoms last! ✨ Rooms are limited, and so is the lavender bloom! ✨ 👇 Click the link in the comment below to view our live calendar and claim your direct-booking harvest perk. #nostr #grownostr #cookies #lavender #WV #USA #travel #bnb
