Home shredded cheese can be shaken with little cornstarch to stop
Sticking before freezing.
Yes, thanks!
I have watched three videos on preserving food to save money. Yours was the best. I think it's because 1) you display the steps as you explain, 2) you show the process from beginning to end, and 3) you're always giving examples of how to use your preserves. Thank you, Emmy and Paul!
YAY! Love to hear that! So encouraging, thank you!
0:00 0:00 0:00 0:00 0:00 Beans are so easy to cook soak over night in water then cook in instant pot use garlic , onion, salt pepper, itliain seasonings and any others you like. The seasons make the beans taste good! They are good to eat with corn bread but dont put sugar in it that is for cake

Putting a paper towel in the bottom of the mason jar before putting the berries in will help keep the berries longer since the paper towel absorbs a lot of the moisture.
Another great video! I purchase boneless skinless chicken breast on sale, when I get them home I clean them up, chunk it and into the crockpot they go with water and seasonings... when done I put the chicken in portion sizes using my food saver and I freeze the broth separately for a quick soup, gravy, add it to rice, stir fry veggies..the chicken can be used for a quick potpie, chicken salad, soups, stir fry...
Great idea!
We have an old family recipe that we make and freeze when we have a surplus of Zucchini. Dice an onion and sauté in a little bit of olive oil. Add a lg. can of crushed tomatoes. 2 cups of chicken stock or water and 2-3 diced zucchini. Simmer until the zucchini is tender. Let cool and freeze in containers. When you need a quick meal, thaw and bring to a boil. Add 1/2lb of pasta, salt & pepper to taste and cook until the pasta is done. Add parmesan cheese and enjoy.
Sorry so late getting back to you! Some comments didn't come up! Sounds delicious!
I use my Salad Shredder to grate my cheeses. Your biscuits will be so much better if you shred frozen butter and just toss instead of using your hands to rub the butter in. My most unusual way to use the Salad Shooter is to grate FelsNaptha for my homemade laundry soap (2 parts Borax, 2 parts washing soda and 1 part FelsNaptha.....need I add WASH ALL THE PARTS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL! BTW - use only 2 tablespoons of the soap for a full load in a large capacity washer. It won't suds up, but it really removes stains.
Thanks for sharing!
Would love your bread pudding recipe!
I can definitely share it in an upcoming video!
I always peel my carrots and have them in a bowl with water in the refrigerator ready for use 🥕🥕🥕
Smart!
I cook up 2lbs of ground beef and season it with taco seasonings. I put it in freezer baggies in individual servings and lay it flat in the freezer. I use this for burritos, chimichangas and quesadillas.
Smart!
I buy ground beef in bulk I make patties and put them in my freezer . I use a good old Tupperware hamburger press so they're all the same size. Plus I can ground beef so I have it on hand for the winter. I also do a lot of meals in a jar canning dehydrating in this all saves me money in the long run. Thank you Amy and Paul for all your videos I enjoy every one of them and the savings.
I like to brown hamburger in large quantities and then put 2cups portions in zippie sandwich bags in the freezer. I freeze them flat and they stack great. Then I have hamburger ready to go for any meal. Quick defrost in the microwave or thaw in fridge. I've been doing this for 25+ years.
So smart!
Another way to preserve basil is to layer each leaf in salt (kosher, canning or Himalayan) in a mason jar. Stays fresh for several months.
I freeze my basil and other herbs in small silicone trays but use water instead of olive oil. Been doing it that way for years.
Great tip!
I make fresh lemonade/lemon water often and I save the squeezed lemon halves in the fridge. I use them below or within the cavity of chickens when I roast them for the moistest meat with a mild fresh citrus flavor. You can also float them in pitchers of iced tea as it brews.
Yes, so good!
I buy shredded carrots and place a folded up paper towel in the bag and no more mushy slimy carrot
I also save onion skins to add to both it really add taste and deep brown color to my broth
Thanks for sharing!
Great Friday Video!
I too freeze the basil and other herbs in the ice cube trays
I always get lemons and squeeze juice and freeze in ice cube trays as well as freezing wedges
We always freeze food saver as we get them on sale. Perfect to take out for just us or more if company comes
We bought ground beef on sale.
I cooked thoroughly and blotted off grease. Cool the portioned in freezer bags for a meal or recipe. When reheating need to add water to add moisture. Great for quick tacos, sloppy joes, casseroles etc
Nice necklace. Is that a family heirloom too?
Happy 4th of July!!
No, the necklace is from Kohls...on clearance LOL!
We chop and freeze our fresh garlic from the garden in olive oil just like you did with your basil. I just recently learned to do this, and i love it! You've encouraged me to do the same with my basil, because i have 20 plants and we're a bit tired of pesto 😅 i really like zero food waste and try my best to use everything in creative ways, so thank you for the helpful video!
You are so welcome!
I have to try storing my berries in glass containers. I've seen this a lot on RUclips and haven't done it yet. Always good tips! Enjoy your weekend Emmy & Paul!
You as well, Chris! Thanks!
I have found freezer to be a great preserver money savour also our compost garden feeding scraps to wild birds and our chicken
Love that!
Thank you for another wonderful video
So kind, thank you!
Thank you for showing me where and how to cut and freeze my fresh basil!
Our pleasure!
Great video, as always!❤
So kind, thank you!
I USED to freeze our leftovers after day 2 in the fridge but i quit doing that. Im gonna restart it up.
Yes, it helps keep them from spoiling!
I always make chicken broth, tomato sauce, bread, granola, and trail mix and freeze them. I freeze a lot of stuff but you are always guaranteed to find those items on hand at all times in my freezer.
Good stuff!
Thank you for the zero food waste reminders!I had peppers in the refrigerator...that are now diced and food-savered in the freezer! And cottage cheese that will be used up today!
Wonderful!
We always write with a Sharpie date opened and expiration date if applicable. Those best use date are so small. Use a piece of masking tape on containers with leftovers, etc so you know what date you cooked it. No guessing to prevent waste.
I make breakfast burritos with eggs and any other meat and vegetables in bulk. (Niece has chickens so we get eggs when we see her-more than we need) Wrap individually and freeze. Easy to thaw/heat or microwave for a quick on the go meal or snack.
Now is the time to freeze fresh produce….we can get free from others or in our garden or on super sales.
Sharing is the best reward especially if you have an abundance of anything….
Thanks, Sheryl! Yes, sharing what we have is always a blessing!
Always enjoy your videos/ideas!
Thanks, Sally!
I really enjoyed the video 🤗❤️
Thanks so much, Dear Pat!
Very good video.
Thank you very much!
I was so blessed that I canned some sliced potatoes 2 pints because I was out of potatoes and out money to buy any . So I drained them fried them and me and my son enjoyed them,1 pint lefted. I sure will can up more for hard times a coming. More jars of carrots, potatoes and carrots mixed for pot pies,shepards pies and stews,and canned soup beans,and meats ,jellies and jams,apple sauce and pie filling. The BlackBerries are just coming on.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Emmy, great tips and tricks. I also put the strawberries and other berries in glass jars unwashed and they last a lot longer for sure.
We agree, thanks!
How do you make a home made salad dressing?
There are tons of recipes! Just Google your favorite salad dressing and add the word homemade. Like homade ranch salad dressing etc.
I toast bread and make bread crumbs
I fry up 2-3 lbs of hamburger at one time on weekends and freeze it in freezer bags. Then when I’m working and need something quick for supper, I can pull it out. It’s super easy to get out of the freezer bags so I’m able to just pull out as much as I need and stick the rest back in the freezer for the next time. It makes a huge difference on those nights when you need supper to be a little quicker
Very smart!
Your tip on pulling food to the front to use next has saved me a small fortune. This morning, my husband and I were at the door of Whole Foods to buy 15 pounds of Canadian pastured pork - normally $8.99 a pound, on sale for $4.48 a pound. It is lovely, low-fat ground pork. I use it mostly to make my own sausage. I can control the salt and avoid chemicals like msg and bht and no dextrose. I am also a fan of dehydrated food. I just pour boiling water over dried onions, garlic, red and green peppers, etc., and start cooking and they will be ready in a few minutes. I freeze any leftover soaking water and it makes the most delicious broth for the freezer. Thank you, Emmy and Paul for all I have learned from watching every Frugal Money Saver video.
Bella, thanks for the encouraging comment! It means a lot!
Making your own sausage is awesome! I make our own turkey sausage and it’s delicious! One thing I love to do is make sausage patties and bake them just until fully cooked at 350•. Then I vacuum seal them and freeze the number of patties I would usually cook. It’s so nice to have brown and serve sausage without all of the added chemicals.
You are so helpful. Your videos are very informative. I love that you don’t talk down to us. Keep up the good work!❤
So kind of you! We are all equal in our journey!
Our garden is working overtime with tomatoes, cucumbers peppers, squash, zucchini, and basil. I've dehydrated 2 pint jars of basil. I've frozen 2 gallons of grated zucchini as well as 2 gallons of chopped bell peppers. (In portioned bags), I've frozen 30 lb of tomatoes (for canning later), I've made stir fry upon stir fry, I've quick pickled cucumbers and made a ton of cucumber salads. The key is, to not waste even a tomato or two. Instead of sitting on my countertop and rotting, I freeze my 1 tomato or pick my 2 zucchini and either use them immediately or freeze. I've saved so much just being mindful of what I've picked. It seems obvious, but when it's a small amount, it's easy to think why bother with freezing my 1 zucchini or dehydrating my 1 cup of basil. But, it all adds up. Consistency is key
You are SO right!
I haven't had good luck with squash
Wow! That’s amazing! You’re a gardening rockstar!
You can also dehydrate zucchini and make flour out of it! You can replace up to 1/3 of a recipe with zucchini flour and not really notice a difference. Free flour and added nutritional benefit!
@@PatriciaRamirez-dd8qm The best ways to use frozen squash, imo, is in baking, soups or sauces. It gets pretty mushy when frozen but that doesn’t matter when the squash is just a nutritional side note 😁
I "feed the freezer" as I empty it. For example, when I pulled out a steak and applesauce over the winter, I started freezing coffee in cubes for summer days. Chicken broth and frozen vegetables left; I harvested rhubarb stalks and prepped them to fill the same space. It works well for a refrigerator's freezer.
That's great!
We live in the heart of corn country. I buy the sweet corn, shuck and rinse it so it is clean. Then wrap individual ears in aluminum foil, throw five in a gallon freezer bag and lay flat in your freezer. To cook, get pan of water boiling, unwrap your frozen ears and drop them in. When water comes back up to boiling, corn is ready, drain and butter and eat. Tastes so good in the dead of winter.
I never knew you could freeze it on the cob. Mind blown! 🤯
So no blanching? I bought some local corn from a farm last summer and it looks shriveled. :( I didn't wrap it in foil though.
Best way ro freeze corn is just freeze it in the shuck cut the ends off put in freezer bags and freeze it when you get ready to use it unthaw it shucks come right off
Another great video full of good practical ideas! You are amazing with buying, storing and cooking your food!! I was curious if you and Paul have a food budget? What all it includes etc? It's just my husband and I and we're retired also and we garden and put up food. Thanks for tips a,d encouragement!❤
I do the same. Shuck , rinse , dry and food saver to put in freezer. Delicious in non corn season!
Thanks Emmy and Paul. Another saver is bananas if they get to ripe chunk them mash them and freeze for banana bread later.
Happy weekend.
I like to put frozen banana chunks in my little food processor with a little bit of milk and some peanut butter and it makes a great ice cream treat!
Great tip!
When I get home from shopping I pull out all the vegetables left from the last time I shopped and dehydrate them. That way I always have them on my shelf and can easily toss them into a soup, stew or sauce without the need to do any peeling or chopping. I almost never have to throw away food now. You can also freeze them, but I prefer to dehydrate because it takes up less of the valuable space in my little freezer.
Such a smart idea!
Brilliant idea
Great!
Great video. I love to make confit when I have a surplus of cherry tomatoes, basil, and garlic. Wash and halve the tomatoes, chop up 3-5 cloves of garlic, wash and tear a bunch of basil. Mix those three together and put in a dish or slow cooker. Add a couple of inches of olive oil and cracked back pepper. Bake slow and low and flavors will meld. Let cool. Freeze on ice cube trays or in flat packs. You’ll be able to throw a little summer flavor bomb in all your pastas, salads, everything savory, etc. lasts for months if you harvest all the surplus and make multiple batches.
Wonderful idea!
I was gifted lots of celery. Small stalks are chopped and frozen. I will chop and can the larger stalks. Spinach, kale and celery leaves are in the dehydrator . Apples will be turned into apple sauce. I will make your chicken stock in a few days. I have some corn that I will cut from the cob and make some corn stock also. Thanks for all your help!
Wonderful!
When I have used a bunch of celery I take the “stub” at the bottom and put it in a little water. When it sprouts, I plant it in the garden. I don’t get good eating celery from it but I get marvellous stuff for soup.
Greetings from Costa Rica. Love following your channel.
Sandra, thank you! Costa Rica how beautiful!
I freeze home made soups in silicone “souper cubes” then I pop them out and individually food saver them label and date them and keep in the freezer. I take them to work with me, I have a small crock pot lunch warmer that sits on my desk. The frozen soup cube fits in there and it gently warms and is nice and hot at lunch time. Saves me from spending money on take out and I can have a variety of soups in the freezer. I love soup anytime of the year.
That's great!
Bahaha! Souper cubes! I must do this! 😂
Love your tips! In 34 years of homemaking.. putting eggs on for hard boiled and prepping the fruit i bought right when i get home from the store never occurred to me… making it a part of shopping day. My favorite thing the past few years is home canned chicken or beef.. makes making a homemade healthy dinner quick and easy!
Yes, a little prep works saves in the long run!
I always put leftovers in a certain spot...no waste in my kitchen.❤
Love that!
Thank you Emmy and Paul for another wonderful and helpful video!! To answer the question (and keep on the basil theme lol!) I love keeping spinach basil pesto on hand in the freezer. I take spinach, a bunch of clipped basil from the garden, olive oil, parmesan, garlic, salt and pepper and blitz it in the food processer, then freeze it in batches, depending on how much I've made. In a pinch, all I need to do is thaw it and cook up some pasta, and serve it with whatever veggies I have on hand
Sounds brilliant!
I rarely use Ricotta cheese except in my spaghetti sauce. I make a double batch of sauce, with meat, and add about a 1/3 cup of Ricotta. I freeze about 2 quarts of sauce and we eat the rest.
I buy Ricotta in the 32 oz. container when it's on sale. I fill small plastic containers with about 1/3 cup of Ricotta and date and freeze them. I use one in my sauce, and I never toss out moldy Ricotta.
I also slice and freeze onions and peppers if they start getting soft. During the winter, when peppers cost more, I buy the frozen peppers and onions from Doller Tree.
Thanks for sharing!
This isn’t the number one thing I do, but it’s what I’m doing while watching this video. Lol. I’m allergic to dairy, and don’t love all the vegetable oils in dairy free butter. But ghee is SO EXPENSIVE! So, I wait until butter is on sale for $2.99/lb or less, buy about 10-15 lbs, and make my own ghee. It’s shelf stable, I can eat it and not have a reaction, and pay a fraction of the cost of prepared ghee in the store. I make enough so that we can use it before it goes rancid, but not have to make it for a while once I’ve done a batch.
Wow! That's great!
@@FrugalMoneySaver Thanks! I also found 7 lbs of organic baby portobello 🍄🟫 mushrooms for 60% off yesterday. I washed, chopped, weighed out 1/2 lb portions, vacuum packed them in the food saver, and popped them in the freezer! I thought of you when I bought them! 😁
Thanks for showing where to cut the basil. That’s very helpful. I’m always forgetting that. Now I’ll remember.
So glad it was helpful!
Why have I never thought of the wing tips for stock? When we cook whole wings we tear them off after their cooked and dont eat them!!! No more. Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
Still renovating and not having a full working kitchen and small fridg , So number one for me is to mealprep a week and stay within the budget. I'm building a small pantry of canned food when I see good deals .
That's so smart!
I make pineapple bread pudding.
Recipe please
Tell me more about the pineapple bread pudding please. 😊
I always prep peppers and onions in a bag for a quick stir fry.
That's a great idea!
As I watched this I went in my veggie drawer to take inventory. I found a pkg of strawberries in my fruit drawer - prep time !!
So did I...
YAY! Love that! Keep motivated lol!
I’m not a fan of food saver because of plastic use. There has to be a better option.
Canning jars?
Growing, producing, and transporting food uses up a lot of natural resources, so if it helps people to preserve food so they don’t have to throw it away, food saver might not be a bad option… It might even things out. 😊
We reuse our plastic as long as no raw meat was stored in it. We wash the plastic inside and out. Dry thoroughly. Then we just refill and reseal.
Another wonderful video. I smiled as I watched Paul use the food saver as I have a very similar tablecloth as the one he had it sitting on. It was a wedding gift, so is almost 52 years old!
As I am doing some container gardening this year, I plan to either freeze or dehydrate the items I am growing.
That's wonderful!
Another thing you could have done (if they were organic) with the peppers was save the seed for next years garden. Just pull them out in late February or early March and put them in little pots in a sunny window. Transfer them to larger pots as they get some growth on them and then to their final spot in your garden at your local planting time. Mine is late May. 😊
Yes, thanks!
I always have garbanzo beeans in the freezer which are made from dry beans. Instead of meat sandwiches, we have a sandwich spread; blend in food processor, 3 cups garbanzo beans, 2 T honey, 2 T fresh parsley or rounded heaping tsp dry parskey, 2 T lemon juice, 1/3 cup tahini or we have used plain greek yogurt when out of tahini paste, 2 cloves garlic minced salt and pepper to taste. This is our local reasturants recipe😊
Sounds yummy!
Sounds yummy 😋
Great tips. We use the skimmed chicken fat for fried eggs and roasted vegetables. It adds a tone of flavor and we save the expensive butter for bread and the evoo for salads.
I can’t believe I forgot to plant basil. Not to late.
Great tip!
Thank you for reminding me to pull out my never-used food-save machine. I scored it free on our local Buy[Nothing group last summer but stuck it on a shelf in the closet in my spare room and have not learned to use it. I will ask my husband to learn the process so we do it as a team. Since I have a nice productive backyard garden, the food saver will certainly come in handy.
Yes, it sure will!
Another great video I make a big batch of beans and freeze them in 2 cups portion and add to alot of meals to stretch our meals.
Thanks, Paula!
I know this sounds strange but to help reduce food waste. I removed a shelf and a door shelf in my fridge. Rearranged them I could never get it arranged where my husband could see things in the back and he had sooo many hot sauces. Now I have 2 places to put taller items and before I shop it’s easy to see everything to use up first. He is limited on condiment space. Simple fridge on top freezer on bottom fridge.
That's a great idea.
I love this!
I prep sweet potato fries cook a little while, freeze like you do to keep separate. Cook like store bought ones. The frozen ones in store are so expensive! 🎉
Love sweet potato fries! I have to try this. Thanks 😊
Great, Dianna!
I got tired of wasting avocados because they would go bad before I could eat them.
Walmart had bags of frozen avocados w lemon juice but I thought I could do that myself and just thaw out the amount I needed for a sandwich or on a salad.
I chopped up the avocados and spread them out on a large cookie sheet until they were frozen, then put them in the freezer bags and sprinkle with lemon juice.
11:00
Wonderful!
If you flip the peppers over skin side toward the board, it’s easier to cut from the inside.
Nice food processor Emmy! I love my Cuisinart. Like you, I researched and waited for the best price before pulling the trigger. Also, I use flour sack towels to strain my homemade broth. The towels can be rinsed and laundered along with the other kitchen towels. I pressure can broth in pint jars. So gratifying to have wholesome home-preserved foods.
That's so great!
Such useful tips and tricks..thanks!
You are always so great to listen to and all great preppingtips you share...
I buy chicken to a good price, boil it with herbs, take off the meat and freeze in small plasticbags then boil the bones and the rest to a broth and put in small bags as well..soooo handy to take when you need it...have a great weekend with greetings from Sweden🇸🇪
You as well, thank you so much!
I really need need to sort my freezer, thanks to All the comments to get me motivated ! 😊
Do 1 shelf a day then it seems an easy task.
Wonderful! Take it slow and do a bit at a time!
I learn something new every single time. You two are the later in my life Home Economics teachers I never knew I needed. lol Blessings back to both of you!
How much do we love that! Thank you!
You can also make homemade stuffing with bread,make bread crumbs,etc.
Tortillas about to go bad?make tortilla chips.
Same with pita bread.
Yes, true.
Oh I see the Crockpot in the background…. ❤ My garden is just starting to grow. Raspberries and herbs is all I have so far, and rhubarb.
I save fruit by making jam or pie filling in the aluminum pie dishes Iv saved and freeze them as discs. Then pop them out snd food save for filling pies already shaped.
Today I emptied fridge of all compost scraps and started a small 5 gallon bucket. A compost bin is just too expensive. I will need to fill 2x 6x4’ beds by next season so any organic matter.
I am pining over a food processor for years. What a treat to grate so fast! Id would pre shred alot of things and do mix salads and mixes for freezing. And cheese! What a time saver!
Bless u guys working as a team. So motivational to live in harmony.
Im off to peel lots of garlic heads for mincing and making a jar of them with oil. it was $3 for about 20 heads could not pass it up!
Here’s a budget tip for a compost bin. I had a large black garbage bin with a crack in it. Drilled many holes all over and put the lid on. Put in my scraps and at the bottom there was a beautiful compost being made. And it’s manageable!
Yes, my bone broth was bubbling away behind me in the crockpot lol! Thanks for sharing, Jane!
@@jinnemee7327 I have one but it stores my new soil bags or turf builder bags. Great tip! I will drill holes in my 5 gallon bucket and place it on soil soon. Worms crawl up apparently inside through holes and do their thing.
Im using an old wheel barrel too as a makeshift compost right now with tarp, just until I can dump into garden beds. Any vessel bucket I can spare! Need worms though they break down the compost. Your same bin Paul, sells $100-$120 in Canada.
@@FrugalMoneySaver lol! I was thinking of you prepping, when I was peeling over 24 heads of garlic. I only peeled about 17. It took hours because I core the bit inside- it causes indigestion and heart burn. So today I will make minced garlic oil to keep it in the ridge and may freeze the rest. I filled a big yogurt container in cloves. I regret not getting the other garlic bags at $3 a piece as u buy one head of garlic for $3! unless its from asia. So 24 heads at $3 was a deal. 3 heads are sprouted and I will plant them. So it really was a deal for me. IF I had the fermenter, I would have made black garlic which is very good for your health. No idea if a Crockpot can replace fermenter but it needs to stay on outside because it smells very strong, for 7 days to create black garlic. And my kitchen smelled of garlic 24 hrs after I just peeled garlic imagine fermenting??? good way to keeps bugs away in summer!
For quick meals I always make vats of bolognese and marinara. Last weekend I made 6 dozen meatballs. The sauces go in quart size ziplocks, 2 cups to a bag. The meatballs are cooked, bagged, and frozen. I stack the sauces flat on a cookie sheet to freeze. Once frozen, they stand upright in a freezer bin so they take up less space. I do that with cooked butternut squash, too. I even did it with a couple cups of leftover gazpacho last Fall. We ate that this week and it was still delicious!
Wonderful! Time and money saving!
I use the sliced peppers that I freeze like u on homemade pizza in the winter. I also freeze peppers that I deseed and cut in half and then use them in the winter to make stuffed peppers. I also cut up leeks in the season and individually freeze so I can have local leeks all winter to make leek, carrot and potato soup. I grate the unused bread and the freeze that to use throughout the month.
Wonderful!
EMMY!!!!!! I NEEEEEEED MORE!!!! 😂 I live in NY as well (transplant from the South), and have been struggling for years with our food costs and EASY frugality. THANK YOU for this video --please do more food and preservation videos!!!! ❤
We have many on this channel! Just search for "zero food waste." I have a whole playlist of videos on this topic.
A little tip for your grated cheese..After grating place in large bowl and scatter over a little flour and toss thru cheese.This stops cheese sticking together.Freeze as normal.Hope this helps.
Thanks!
Love the zero food waste videos!
Always inspires me 😊
YAY! So happy!
I don’t have any different tips, but….oooh! What evening will you be having the bread pudding for dessert and would you like company? 😂. I haven’t had that for so long, sounds so yummy to me! 1000 miles to drive might be a little far to come, though, lol.
LOL! Thanks for the giggle!!
Thank you Paul and Emmie. I always learn something from your videos
YAY! We love to hear that!
Great video Emmy & Paul! Loved all your ideas!💗
So kind, Desi! Thank you!
Living in Oregon growing Oregon peas is so easy. They keep well in a jar at a dark corner of my kitchen cubberd. I bring them out early spring plant them again and use most of it in cooking stew or soup of some kind. Thank you.
I have never heard of Oregon Peas...
Will be saving my meet bones for broth thank you so much for these ideas and this channel
So glad the video was motivating!
👩🌾thank you so much for basil tip!! Mine is looking good...was just wondering how to preserve!!
So glad it was helpful!
I am curious how everyone preserves corn? I've heard freezing is great, is dehydrating a good option?
I buy bags of frozen corn, peas, and mixed veggies to dry in my dehydrator. They are already prepped before freezing. My dehydrated veggies are stored in vacuum-sealed mason jars.
I've had luck with just cutting it from the cub and freezing flat before separating into ziplic bags.
We blanch sweet corn I think 5 minutes. Cool in ice water and cut it off the cob and freeze it. Delicious
Here is a video we did on how to freeze corn! Works great! ruclips.net/video/w2TT1o9JD0U/видео.html
We freeze vegetables that on it freeze bags and date them
Helps so much!
I freeze all the fruit to make smoothies, and all the left overs to make a soup and we make Croutons all the time to use up all the bread so it does not get wasted. I love to create something new with left overs today is going to be Potato Pancakes Reduce re use recycle..or up Cycle!!! Love watching your videos.
Thanks so much, Nancy!
Emmy I would love to see a sourdough bread tutorial. I managed to get my starter going, but would love an Emmy tutorial on using the starter. 😊
I can, dry, and freeze. But probably I freeze the most. Thanks for your content, you both are great!
So kind, thank you!
Thank you Emmy for the very useful way to save food and money .
I buy fresh milk on sale and it freeze well .
Cheese and butter on sale .
Thank you for the advices.
Very encouraging 👩🏻🍳🫙🧀🫐
You are so welcome! Thanks or watching!
I live in So. ea. In. we have all vegs. and meats. I can all I want, ham and beans, green beans, chicken, broth for chicken and beef, carrots, beets, tomato juice, salsa. Jelly and so on, I also freeze corn, broccoli, cauliflower ,and other vegies and fruits. Anything I can get a hold of.
Rockstar! 😃
That's wonderful!
The music made me laugh when Paul used the food saver. Haha. Festive!!
Yes! Happy times lol!
Loving your channel! Just subscribed :) I appreciate all the effort you put into your videos. Very informative and inspirational ❤
Welcome! So happy you found us! Thank you!
Thank you for this video. Very helpful. I have a small family. And well I love your potions. I love seeing how little you buy and use. Just make me not wasteful in my own life. And the food processor was such a great deal. ❤
Yes, I was so excited for my new processor!
Emmy! Off topic... but I made and we so enjoyed your cheesy spinach pasta bake a while ago. Now cannot locate video that showed it. Can you help? Thank you!
Google: type in the search bar:
"Frugal Money Saver RUclips cheesy spinach pasta bake"
It should come right up :)
I believe this is it ruclips.net/video/ivLiyRhSxZk/видео.html
You inspired me to pause the video and go transfer my blackberries and blueberries into mason jars. Thank you for this important reminder!
Pause #2 - have to go clip basil now 😂
Love this video Emmy
