I don't know if it's the new year or if it's the current state of affairs, but this week my Rooted + Ready series is going viral again. So I figured it was time to share it again.
If you've been thinking of stocking up your pantry this year to combat the craziness, this is your sign.
Now, I don't do this from a red-hat prepper perspective. Instead, I think of it as wisdom from my ancestors that I simply passed along.
Not fear-based. But just good, old-fashioned common sense.

Rooted + Ready: Stocking the Pantry
My great-grandmother was a force of nature.
She was born before women could vote, and she raised her babies during the Great Depression. But she didn’t just survive it… she thrived in a way that’s hard to explain unless you’ve witnessed that kind of power up close. She was strong, but soft. Fierce, but fair. A woman with her hands in the soil and her heart in the future.
She was a suffragette. A homemaker. A green witch.
And she taught my grandmother – who was born in 1930, right in the heart of the Depression – how to weather hard times with grace, grit, and homemade biscuits.
So I asked my mama, “What lessons would she teach us now?” Her first answer was “Work on your pantry.”
