WE DID IT 😭🔥💪 (and by we i mean, me, myself, and i… although 2 kids did help sand a little bit)

The outdoor kitchen is FINALLY DONE… literally the day before the party 😂

You can still see the decorations hanging up, the drinks stocked in the fridge, popsicles ready for the kids, and honestly… I’m in love with everything and jt actually worked 😅

✅ Plumbing works perfectly
✅ Gas lines work perfectly
✅ Blackstone fired right up
✅ Fridge installed and running
✅ Concrete countertops DONE
✅ Wood cabinetry looks AMAZING

And somehow… against all odds… we pulled the whole thing off before the party 😳🔥

We had an incredible time with family and friends, and now there’s basically zero recovery time because in TWO DAYS… we leave for Disneyland 🎢😂

This is exactly why I built LoadedPotato.org.
Because I don’t want life to revolve around cooking complicated meals every single day.

I want systems.
Fast pantry meals.
Freedom.
Time to build crazy projects… throw parties… and take my family to Disneyland 😆

🍞 What if your sourdough starter died tomorrow?
Power outage.
Vacation.
You forgot to feed it.
Life happened 😅
Would you have to start ALL over from scratch?
NOPE 👊
In this video I’ll show you how to turn your active sourdough starter into a shelf stable BACKUP SYSTEM using:
✔️ Your starter
✔️ Parchment paper
✔️ A pan
✔️ Your kitchen counter
No dehydrator.
No fancy tools.
No complicated prep.
Just a simple food security hack that could save your sourdough starter for MONTHS… even YEARS if stored properly ⚡

I don’t just make food.

👊 Calm systems
Because fragile systems fail.
Resilient systems survive.
Fresh starter for everyday bread.
Dehydrated starter for backup.
That’s the Loaded Potato way 😎

The child labor force has officially been activated 😂💪

Before anybody gets dramatic in the comments… relax 😆
These kids are sanding cabinet boards for ONE WEEK because right after this graduation party… we’re heading to ✨Disneyland✨ 🎢🔥

Honestly this is real life over here.
We build stuff together. We work together. We survive the chaos together 😅

Today the kids are helping sand all the boards for the outdoor kitchen cabinet fronts while I sprint toward the world’s fastest backyard build deadline.

And THIS is exactly why I built LoadedPotato.org.
Because when dinner only takes a few minutes using pantry meals… suddenly you have time to actually LIVE life.

Build projects.
Travel.
Go to Disneyland.
Hang out with your kids instead of being trapped slicing onions for 2 hours every night 😆

🔥 OUTDOOR KITCHEN BUILD UPDATE 🔥

Okay… we are MOVING now 😅💪

✅ All the RedGard is down on the countertops before the pavers go on top
✅ Tar paper wrapped around the cabinet sides so water stays OUT… but everything can still breathe
✅ Plumbing run
✅ Electrical run
✅ Gas lines run

So now there is officially no turning back 😂

Next step… building all the cabinet fronts and somehow finishing this thing before the party 😳🔥

Honestly this is exactly WHY I built my pantry meal systems at LoadedPotato.org. Because while everybody else is spending hours cooking dinner every night… I’m over here building an entire outdoor kitchen in panic mode one week before guests arrive 😅

I’d rather spend my time BUILDING life… not trapped in dinner jail.

🔥 OUTDOOR KITCHEN BUILD UPDATE 🔥
Most people spend all day cooking… meanwhile I’m out here running GAS LINES, plumbing, electrical, and building an entire outdoor kitchen with my own two hands 😅💪

This thing started as a pile of pressure-treated lumber and Atlantic plywood… and now it’s finally starting to look REAL. Framing is DONE ✔️
Now I’m in the chaos stage:
⚡ Electrical
🚰 Plumbing
🔥 Gas lines
😳 And a giant deadline

Because apparently throwing a party ONE WEEK from now sounded like a good idea 😂

But honestly… this is EXACTLY why I built my pantry meal system at LoadedPotato.org.
I don’t want to spend my whole life trapped in the kitchen making complicated meals every night. I’d rather build things. Create things. Plant things. LIVE life.

So while everyone else is stressing about dinner… I’m out here trying to finish an entire outdoor kitchen before guests show up 😅

What if your oven stopped working… or the power went out…
could you still bake REAL sourdough bread? 😳
I had to test this for myself…
👉 Baking sourdough in a stovetop oven
👉 No traditional oven
👉 Just a flame and a little creativity
THIS AMAZING OVEN: https://urlgeni.us/amzn/LPStovetopOven
And honestly… this might just change everything 🔥
I’m MJ… your Grid Down Gourmet Rebel 👊
aka your pantry bestie who refuses to be stuck in the kitchen OR stuck without food
In this video, I take my super simple, no-knead sourdough (flour, water, salt, starter) and bake it in a stovetop oven to see if it actually works…
Spoiler:
😳 it rose
😳 it browned
😳 it tasted AMAZING
This is why I’m obsessed with pantry systems…
Because it’s not just about food…
It’s about being able to cook anytime, anywhere
✔️ Random Tuesday
✔️ Power outage
✔️ Camping trip
✔️ “Grid decided to take a nap” day ⚡️
Same food. Same recipe. Total freedom.
🔥 WHAT YOU’LL SEE IN THIS VIDEO
