<\/p>\nWhen you\u2019re an adult, priorities change.
\nYou want to have a secured job, a house of your own, a healthy family, and of course, a big pantry.<\/p>\n
No wonder videos where people stock up in their pantry always go viral.<\/p>\n
Chelsea Lesley admits that she has always been passionate about preserving food and pantry storage.<\/p>\n
Lesley does everything from planting seeds to canning her produce.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s got 2 pantries and a root cellar.
\nHer primary goal is to have enough supplies that would last them for a year, and she had already achieved the 1000-jar mark from last season\u2019s produce.<\/p>\n
Lesley started showing what was on her shelves. She has three shelves, and she started her pantry tour.<\/p>\n
On the first shelf, she started showing what was at the bottom going up.<\/p>\n
Below, you see buckets containing all the dry goods such as lentils and beans.<\/p>\n
On the first shelf from the bottom, she has all her sweet pickles, apple juice, and applesauce.<\/p>\n
Her condiments look drool-worthy.<\/p>\n
On the second shelf up are canned beans, beets, pickled vegetables, and jellies.<\/p>\n
Moving up to the third shelf is her canned chicken, salmon, corn, pickled coleslaw, purple cabbage, more beans, and mixed pickles.<\/p>\n
The rest of the fourth shelf contains tomato products, enchilada sauces, sloppy joe mix, green tomato curry, and canned cherries.<\/p>\n
As you can see, she\u2019s stocked.<\/p>\n
On the sixth shelf, you\u2019d find all the tomato sauces.<\/p>\n
Would you believe she\u2019s just getting started?
\nLet\u2019s go over to the next shelf. This time, Lesley started from the top.<\/p>\n

On the top shelf, she stores her tomato salsas, salsa Verde, and pizza sauces.<\/p>\n
Shelves 2 and 3 house the sweets.
\nYou\u2019ll find all the syrups, jams, peaches, and sun-dried tomatoes hiding on these unassuming shelves.<\/p>\n
Going on the fourth shelf, you\u2019ll find all the preserved beans, potatoes, and meat products like stewed beef.<\/p>\n
On the fifth shelf, Lesley stores all her beef, chicken, and pork stocks.<\/p>\n
The bottom part, like the other shelf, has buckets filled with popcorn, spring wheat, and even laundry soap.<\/p>\n
She also has a cheese fridge.
\nSadly, it was empty.<\/p>\n
Next to that are her food-saver bags, honey, and grinder.<\/p>\n
Their pantry has a small shelf with vitamins, sprouting seeds, dried herbs, teas, an EpiPen, and a grocery shopping basket.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s just the first pantry.
\nNow, we move on to the second pantry that they call the cold room.<\/p>\n
This pantry is colder and darker- a perfect place to store onions, garlic, potatoes, and beets.<\/p>\n
This is also where all their store-bought food is stored.<\/p>\n
Pantry items include oatmeal, spices, baking goods, snacks, seaweed, granola bars, coffee, condiments, dressings, and BBQ sauces.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s not forget some cookies, olive oil, coconut milk, peanut butter, and other items, such as medical supplies, candles, sanitary products, zip locks, and garbage bags.<\/p>\n
There, she squirrels away her family\u2019s stock of potatoes, celery, carrots, rutabaga, beets, and cabbages. It\u2019s a lovely setup.<\/p>\n
Lesley talked about the many benefits of having a pantry and root cellar and how this decision was a game-changer for her and her family.<\/p>\n
