Emmy, use your ham bones to make white beans. Serve with cornbread and greens. Ham bones make the best beans.
They do indeed! But I "think" I recall in an older video, Emmy saying that neither she nor Paul were bean fans.
I make beans with a ham bone every time I have one. My issue is to get the smell out of my plastic freezer containers when they are empty. I use garlic and onion. I put vinegar in them after the first washing and put the lid back on for a day or two. Any other ideas? I may have to start using glass.
I bought a discounted bag of tomatoes at Krogers, red bag. They are always 99 cents and I never checked there until you reminded me! So far we have had them in salads and sandwiches and will do Tacoes next. No idea what type of tomatoes they are, certainly not Roma. When our Arkansas tomatoes are ripe in a few months they will be better but we enjoyed these so much. Carole
We use the bone to make pea soup!
Tho this is not actual food but it is food related. I dropped into Walmart to pay my charge and right at the entrance of the store was a 1 day sale. It was a set of knives. I needed new knives in my kitchen. This set includes 3x essential kitchen knives (paring knife, utility knife, and santoku knife) with 3x protective sheaths and 2x safe non-slip flexible cutting mats. The knife blades are made from durable stainless steel with ergnomic handles for easy slicing and dicing.I looked up all the reviews on them that I could find, and most of them were very positive. I decided to buy them. The original price was 12.99 and I bought them for 3.00. That was a 9.00 savings.
Wonderful! Good for you!
Thank you for your continued advice and wisdom! I noticed recently some other ‘frugal’ channels have become very repetitive just to churn out content. Just wanted to say I genuinely appreciate the time and effort you both apply to delivering genuinely enjoyable and varied content!
What a motivating comment, thank you!
It's nice to have friends and family who think and shop frugally. So thoughtful of your neighbor to pick up that ham bargain for you!
Absolutely! So kind!
Wow awesome deal on the ham !! I got a pack of 6 chicken leg quarters , $1,16 , I made chicken soup with the thighs and fried the chicken legs ! 2 meals for $1.16 !!! Its a great feeling ! Dixie is so cute and comfortable at each place !! Thank you for your videos !! I always look forward to them !!!
You little home in SC is so beautiful. How sweet that it was your parents’ Ms. Emmy. That chowder you made looked so delicious! A good grocery deal (I thought) was 18 large eggs at Walmart for $3.82. I make all kinds of dinners w/eggs; fried rice, quiche, and of course breakfast for dinner. Have a blessed week.❤
Yes, thank goodness eggs have come down a bit in price!
I found a huge bag of bananas that were ripening fast for $1. I brought them home, sliced them and froze them in a single layer on cookie sheets. Once frozen, I put them in freezer bags. I use them for oatmeal, baking and smoothies. My dogs love them frozen for a refreshing treat.
So smart!
Your video keeps me focused on frugual living and blessing others thank u for the enciuragement
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
We recently discovered a bakery outlet near us that offers wonderful brands of baked goods at a fraction of the original price. they even have a "free" cart each week. We have been visiting once a week, and trying out some new items such as Boboli pizza crusts, spinach tortilllas, and other sandwich bases that we would never buy at full expensive price. It is helping us with variety in our menu.
Wonderful! That's such a clever idea.
Our house painted all in same colours - white for ceilings, Dulux ivory lace on the walls. So much easier for touch ups and expense as one tub of paint does everything so no left over bits taking up,space etc. Colour is easily added from furnishing, decor etc.
Yes, that is how we feel. Very inviting looking too!
We inherited the house next door, we are in the process of redoing it. I agree same color throughout the house same carpet.Years ago we complained about white walls in rentals, now I painted all the walls off white and brown carpet with flecks of lighter colors it looks great to me. My daughter says I'm boring. Too funny
The pro painter told me to go to home Depot and pick a color and buy the 5 gallon bucket of paint and use for all rooms in the house. When closing down for the day put roller in a plastic bag and put in the refrigerator. It will keep for a very long time. I kept in my second refrigerator in the basement. When ready for the next room to paint, I just got out of the refrigerator.
Hi Emmy and Paul, What a friend you have to think of sharing a quality ham for $2.07. I estimated the savings to be about $53.00 after
the cost of the ham. Just 2 weeks ago, our market had bags of little snack carrots for $ .25 per bag. I bought them for a friend whose
children like them in lunchboxes. Your example has made me more aware of the need to look carefully for special signs and price stickers
in several departments of the market. Thank you for sharing your good fortune with us. Blessings to you and yours, always.
Yes, you are correct with the amount...my error!
My Mama always used the left over ham bone to cook with Lima beans aka dollar beans. Another recipe was rice and tomato’s cooked with the ham bone. So good.
Thanks for sharing!
We found loaves of French bread marked down to $0.33 a loaf. We bought 5 and tossed them in the freezer.
Oh Yes! So smart!
We can save so much money if we just go longer between trips to the grocery store. And if we buy larger amounts and work them up and freeze them in meal-sized portions.
I live alone and seldom drink milk anymore. But i do cook and bake a lot with it and use it in my coffee and give the kitties a saucer occasionally! I buy 2 or 3 gallons of whole milk when it's one sale and freeze it in quart glass Mason jars. Be sure to leave a little room at the top for expansion. That way I have good supply of fresh, inexpensive milk and don't worry about it spoiling before i use it up. Glad you had a good week in your little house and paced yourself. 🎉
Thanks for sharing and the kind comment, Janet!
I haven't grocery shopped since before the eclipse and then was only milk, bread and eggs. I have a lot of things to use up before they expire. And now I am starting to get produce out of the garden :)
Oh how wonderful!
I was inspired last week to save $ and not got to store unless I REALY needed something...here's what I used up... Pineapple slices with cottage cheese, Pineapple pancakes with banana foster over the top...canned chili beans, zucchini, onion, red peppers ,corn and fresh tomato, and cheese chili with biscuits...it was so good and what leftovers...all things I had and needed to use up. I call this my Intellectual cooking.
Yes! Good for you, Toni! Little secret...Bananas Foster sauce is one of Paul and my favorite foods LOL!
Neighbor thinking about neighbor. That's a true blessing. And that price was AMAZING! Glad you enjoyed your getaway in your cozy vacation home.
Yes! Thank you!
The guest room at "the little house" is so cute! Very cozy!
Thanks so much, Susan!
I said that,too.
Buy the family package of meat,break it up into single portions and freeze.
Thick chicken thighs or breast? Filet it.basically butterfly it,but you make two out of one.
Double the product,half the price
Thanks for sharing, this was great. I live in South Carolina, transplanted from Vermont. I always say that you’re either going to be a prisoner of the house in January when it’s so bone chillingly cold that you live in fear of it, or you move south and August is so soul suckingly hot and mercilessly humid that when you shower, you never dry off it is so wet.
LOL! The best of both worlds!
I’d pick Vermont!
Wish we could have seen more of your trip to the little house.
We wanted to just take a bit of time for ourselves. We will be back down south in June and will film more God willing.
I made a sausage, potato, carrot, onion and lentil soup yesterday. I got 6 good servings. 2/3 went into freezer for later.
So yummy!
Aldi's had chicken legs and thighs for $.89 per pound. I bought a package of each. 20 legs and 12 thighs. I put 3 thighs and five legs in a food saver bag and in no time had four bags of chicken in the freezer. We prefer dark meat and that chicken will feed us four meals plus leftovers!😊
Brilliant! Great way to save money!
Me & my husband got married at Cherry Grove back in 2008. It was beautiful then & we were just there in October, its still so pretty but getting built up.
Lisa, how wonderful! We honeymooned in Myrtle Beach too!
Oh Emmy, it's so cold here in northern Ohio on the lake Erie too! Wish we were in warmer place. My sister and her hubby spend winters in Myrtle beach and just got back here in the cold! That soup looked so delicious, I love making soups in my crackpot too. Recently I got a great buy at the grocery store for 1# packages of real butter for only $2.29 each and stocked up a ton! There was no limit, no digital coupon, no spend limit at all! And it stores well in the freezer! ❤
That's a great price on butter!! Yes, still cold here in NY too.
Hello, also from NE Ohio. As I was watching this video I was thinking how today it’s going to be in the high 70s! We like to make fun that in the same day, we need our winter coat in the morning and shorts and a tshirt by dinner time.
We have the same carpet in our 3 bedrooms, and the same color walls, ceilings throughout the house. So much easier to decorate.
We so agree!
WOW! What a great deal on ham and what a blessing from your neighbors. I’m with you…the Foodsaver is a lifesaver and makes everything last much longer. One of my best investments in my kitchen. I love “food prep w/ Paul” and wow what a great job he did painting! I have to tell you, I haven’t bought bread or baked goods at the store in so long because I make sourdough too and I just bake my own muffins or things of that nature. So much better and cheaper than the store or a local bakery. Around where I live artisan sourdough loaves are like $8. It’s insane! 😂 I can make it for much much less and now I’m in a rhythm so prepping it is no big deal. If I still have bread left over the next week I gift the loaf I make that week to the org I do cooking for that feeds unhoused and food insecure neighbors. I’ve gotten so many compliments on the bread so I’ve made it a regular thing to bring a loaf every two weeks.
YAY! Love that, Gretchen. Sharing is half the fun!
Am I adding wrong? $3.49 for 8 oz x 2 = 1 lbs. so $6.98 a lb. 8lbs x $6.98=$55.84! Great video. The little house is cute.
No, you are right! I was doing it by the 1/2 pound LOL!
I love these types of videos!!
Thank you so much!
Weather here in the mountains of WVa has stayed pretty cold at night. Around freezing. Some days are warm enough to get outside to do yard and garden prep. But no planting for 2 or 3 more weeks.
Janet, we have another 3 weeks before planting too!
I encourage everyone to also look for frugal buys for our pets. I picked up 20 cans of canned cat food at 32 cents each which was less than half price.
Yes! Thanks for sharing!
Bacon grease gives it flavor.
Abolsutely!
Thank you for all the time you take putting together your videos. This one was amazing. The bread looked like something you would see in a Martha Stewart magazine. Once again thank you - and thanks to Dixie for being so cute!
You are so welcome! Thank you for the kind and encouraging comment!
Hi a big thumbs up from me love you guys .such happy positive channel. X
Such a beautiful video Emmy & Paul. Just loved seeing your little house in South Carolina and what a great tip Paul gave about using those bags to keep the paint roller in. Great idea!
I never tire of your videos. They're always encouraging and so useful. I just love your channel.
Your ham was wonderful wasn't it! So kind of your friend to get that for you. Amazing how much ham Paul was able to get from it.
I hope you both have a really great week. God bless you. ❤
Thanks so much! 😊 God Bless!
That is a lovely crockpot recipe, definitely comfort food. By the way in our cupboards upstairs and downstairs I made a template out of newspaper, then we bought thin linoleum/vinyl flooring (even off cuts will do) they don’t need to match ! We lined our cupboards and drawers with it. They are super easy to keep clean with hot water a a dash of dishwasher detergent, the pot drawer in the kitchen does not get a hammering either, because it is protected, your cottage is lovely.
You don’t need to use the thickest type of floor covering, as even the thinnest type is easier to handle than lining drawers with contact paper ❤️❤️
I meant to say the pot drawer in the kitchen is protected with this type of lining
Thanks for sharing!
Great idea to make the ham steaks. Definitely going to remember that. After I boil my corn I use the water and cobs on a low simmer to make corn stock. It's great in soups.
Yes! We have videos on how to make corn stock! So yummy!
Yes. I had a small grocery purchase the other day: 2 yogurts, box of butter sticks, 64 Oz apple juice and box of creamsicle ice cream bars that after
$ 10.97 in coupons I only paid $ 5.95.
You go! Great deals!
I always look forward to my Emmy and Paul videos! I enjoyed seeing your projects and life at, "The little house," along with your NY state home. Such a beyond ridiculously great deal on the ham! And that corn chowder looked delish!
Blessings to you both 😊
-Julie
Julie, thank you!! You as well!
Love your “little house”…..cozy and warm…..Dixie is so sweet….thanks for sharing….
Thanks for this video, Emmy and Paul! Although I don't have an answer to today's question, I was pleased to see that you enjoyed your time away and returned refreshed. 😁
So kind, thank you!
What a deal on that ham! I'm glad you and Paul got to enjoy some Carolina beach weather. It is a little cooler on the Carolina coast today at 72 degrees. It is a beautiful day for my afternoon walk. Your chowder looks delicious! I thought about the video where you took leftovers and made a different meal from them. I recently repurposed some leftover meatloaf. I broke it up and added it to chili and beans. It was really good😊 Have a great weekend❤
Thanks, Gail! You have a great weekend as well!
Thank you! The soup looked delicious. 😃
It was really good!
Recently I found packages of red lentils marked down from $3 to 25 cents. I bought several bags and froze them. They are great in chili, soups and curries. One of my least favorite local grocery stores sent out coupons for $15 off $50. The prices at this particular store are always much higher than others nearby which is why I avoid it. However when they have meat on sale, it’s always a great price so I used the coupons I received to buy steak which is something we don’t usually buy because of the price. I filled our freezer (using the foodsaver) with several pounds of rib eye, sirloin and flank steak, definitely enough to get us through the summer grilling season.
How wonderful! What a blessing!
Wow! Did y’all get a new camera. The video quality looks great. I felt like you were sitting at my dining table with me. Wonderful job!
No, we didn't...thank you though!
There's nothing better than home cooking
We totally agree!
The most recent food buy for me was buy 2 get 3 free packages of cheese at Harris Teeter. I think this is hilarious since we were all talking about how cheese makes everything better (in the chat). Sometimes Harris Teeter does this with bacon too!!😂😂😂 These are stock up times for me. I just freeze the extras
Yes! Cheese freezes so well!
So glad y’all love beautiful Cherry Grove. 🌴 🩷
Valerie in SC
We really do!!
Wow thats a deal good friend u won't find that deal in Canada prices much higher
Thanks for watching, Cathy!
Love Cherry Grove! Thanks for your common sense videos!
We do too! You are so welcome!
Thank you for another lovely video! I know it might not be so big of a deal, but our local Publix was offering a bogo on organic bread, so we stocked up putting them in the freezer. I won't have to buy bread for probably a whole month!
God bless you!❤
Love that!
It's now already hot and humid here in NMB. You came at the perfect time when it was still spring weather. We just got done with bike week, so the noise level is back down (we can hear Rt. 31) from our house). I wish my son and Granddaughter were less picky about food. I'd try so many more recipes if they'd eat more than meat and potatoes.
We will be back in about 2 weeks LOL!
Steam vegies and boiled egg for dinner we went out for burger and coffee
I found a bagged salad for $1.99 when a head of lettuce is always $4.99. YES it’s less but it was a low stress, easy vegetable to add to my meals throughout the week. They are $6.99 regular price at my cheapest grocery store.
I also got a bag of bagels for free at a supermarkets customer appreciation day! Yay!
That’s so great!
That ham was a bargain
Yes, thanks!
If I understood you correctly, it was $3.49 for half a pound or $6.98 for a pound. In the video 13:51, you came up with $27.92(used the half a pound price) for the 8 lbs of ham steaks. However, it would be $55.84(based on the price per pound) for 8 lbs of the ham steaks. The ham for $2 was an AMAZING price.
Tops has 88c a pound thighs&drumsticks this week
Great price!
Darn missed the live outside gardening.
Will have to watch it from the beginning.
Have a nice weekend!
Thanks so much for watching, Carolyn.
One store here has 2 for a $1. Lemons, limes, navel oranges and cucumber. And $1 lb. for carrots, roma tomato, head lettuce, apples, pears & mangos. Normally those items are $2 or more a lb. I made a loaf of garlic bread today so I will be enjoying salads with that for my week. Your soup looks so yummy. I love soups & stews all year too. Have a wonderful weekend. 💕🇺🇸🏜
Great price on the produce! You have a great week as well!
That ham was a great deal. What a nice friend to pick it up for you. I got some good deals at Shoprite last week. They had a 3 day sale on a few items. I can't remember the prices, but I picked up Italian sausage, Honey Crisp apples, and Snapple iced tea and juices at a great price. I'm always looking for the sales! The $1.99 chicken breast is on my radar for tomorrow! Lol! Glad you made it home safe & sound! I prayed for safe travel for you... Have a great weekend!
Thank you Chris for keeping us in your prayers! That means a lot! Yes, SR has been hitting it out of the park lately!
I am still eating easter ham lol I sliced it thinner and smaller slices I made some chicken cutlets just small pkg Perdue thin cut I made chicken cordon bleu with the slice of Swiss cheese kind of economical kind of frugal😊
Sounds great, Barbara!
Another great video Emmy and Paul. I can't share any great finds at the supermarket, but my vegetarian sister gave me her free ham she got at the supermarket. It doesn't expire until June and I don't have room for it in the freezer, so it's been sitting in my refrigerator. I LOVE the idea of slicing it into ham steaks. Why didn't I think of that. 😊 I can give a couple of slices to my son and my daughter and keep a couple for me. Thanks so much Paul for sharing your slicing skills. The soup looked delicious Emmy. I was thinking I might make it and add some chopped class for a delicious New England chowder. Bacon and cheese always make everything better.
Oh New England Clam Chowder sounds amazing!
I haven’t been this month to the grocery store. Luckily my son works at Wal Mart and he picks up milk, eggs, and my hot cocoa I put into my coffee. I’ve made dinners all this month with food in our freezer. Made hamburger buns, bread, biscuits. Nice feeling to save 300-400 on groceries. Sadly will have to do a big haul and stock up but it will be all new meats, frozen vegetables. So enjoy your channel, advise and encouragement.
Sheryl, that's so great! Good for you!
Tell Paul that my pepper plants are coming up and also my bell peppers. In my pots 🤗
Wonderful, I will!
It’s 81 degrees here in Tucson… 4 degrees lower than normal. Windy, making the “real feel” temperature 77 degrees 😮. Very pleasant weather here in the Sonoran Desert 🌵
That sounds very pleasant!
Love seeing the improvement you made to the South Carolina house--it’s such a cute place!
Today I found a 12 ounce package of bacon at Kroger for $2.99 using their digital coupon. I also got a dozen Kroger eggs for $1.49 (digital coupon).
Your soup looked simple yet delicious AND nutritious.
❤-Brenda
Brenda, great prices!
Wow, that deal on the ham was next to "I got this for free" ... No great deals here. The corn chowder looked really good! My food saver is over 20 years old and it still works and I use it frequently. Especially for cheese, which I buy in big blocks and then cut it down into smaller pieces, so it can be used up before it does not taste fresh anymore.
Yes, those FoodSaver brands are amazing!
Love rhe double rainbow haven't seen one since we I was a kid always wanted to go to south carolina now I went with Paul and Emmy love it beautiful I would move in a heartbeat unemployed 5 months I get food from food pantry including steaks and candy bars
Yes, it is really a lovely state!
My friends painted the fake wood paneling in their house, too…what a difference! Try it!
We really need to do that!
This coming week in the Philadelphia area Shop Rite has ground beef on sale for $1.99 a pound, 5 pound limit, actually they have almost everything you need to make tacos/Taco salad on great offer for Cinco de Mayo. It doesn't start here until Thursday.
Wegmans had a great offer going before Easter on their young chickens, whole $.99 a pound. I stocked up, and sadly the prove has gone up
YES! We will definitely be shopping at SR this week with those sales!
We are in KY. My Dad and I found pork tenderloin this week for the lowest price we've ever seen at Meijer. They also had rock bottom prices on potting soil. I love that Easter Lilly color. We have been using a color called Sand Dollar for the apartments my Dad maintains for so long now we are ready for a new color 😂.
Thanks for watching and sharing, Koko!
Great tip on the paint roller. Been wrapping mine in plastic bags for years. The last roller I bought was $6! Heading to MB in the morning. We camp on the south end of town in a trailer left to us by my in-laws.
How wonderful! Have a glorious time!
All you upcoming painters,use sheepskin roolers..last for along time,and saves $$
Thanks!
Best deals on candy are usually after Easter. We got an unimaginable amount of good quality candies for the kids for under $10 at Target this year. I ration it and we only use a little bit every week for some desserts and we I think we'll be good until after Christmas. 😂
God bless you!
That is such a great idea! God Bless you as well, thank you!
I use peel and stick tile from a dollar store under my sinks. It looks so nice and lasts forever. Only takes a couple tiles and I can do a few cabinets.
Great idea!
Wow, that meat haul was amazing. I bought that same ham on sale for Easter at .99 cents. I thought that was a miracle. But dang, that price is amazing. I'd do the same on cutting that up. Yummy. So jelly. Lol
LOL! Thanks for watching and sharing, Joyce.
Mmmm that soup looks divine. I was imagining dipping a crusty slice of your sourdough bread. I'm drooling. 😂 I will make that 4sure. And that ham was such a steal. Very nice of your friend to think of you. Welcome back to NY. Ciao for now. 🎉❤
Thanks so much, Barbara! Ciao!
Wow, I can't believe the size of the ham your neighbour got you for $2. You would never get anything like that here in the UK for that sort of money. Well done 😊
I took my ham bone and put it in the crock pot and covered it with water to make ham and green beans with potatoes! I will be taking the extra broth and canning it. It is great to have and be able to cook beans in (I know you and Paul aren't fans of beans) but also cooking green beans and leafy greens, and potato soup as well. Oh! And it freezes great!
Why didn't I think of that? Excellent idea, thank you!
We don't like bean beans lol! We LOVE green beans!
Hi Emmy and Paul, great video. The color of the walls in the South Carolina house are beautiful, the flowers and trees are pretty too! We were on vacation in Florida a few weeks ago and it was nice and warm, we came home to cold weather in NJ, brrrrrr!!!! I have to make the soup, that looks great. We use cheese and bacon too! The ham was a great find!!! God bless you as well, Jeannie and Paul
Thanks so much! You as well, Jeannie and Paul.
❤
Your house in North Carolina is lovely 😊❤️
So kind! Thanks!
Another great video.
I have two discounted hams in my freezer as well and freeze them exactly as you do with a container of what I call "Bits & Pieces" for soups etc. Those little bits make many meals. Also, one of my favorite quick meals is a pan fried ham steak with a baked sweet potatoe. It's yummy and fast.
Sounds great! Simple but delicious!
10 pounds of chicken hind quarter for $.99 a pound. they were frozen so thawed, baked and took the meat off the bones, put in portion size bags. use the food saver also. will use for soups, sandwiches, and sometimes just the meat with mixed veggies. I did weigh the meat after cooked, was 8#. did not have time to make stock with bones and skin so froze for later.
Great idea and price!
I got seventeen 680g packages of white mushrooms for $2.50 each. I dehydrated them and put them in Mason jars.
Great price!
5 de mayo is coming up and Shoprite will have taco kits, ground beef, chicken and other trimmings super economical this week. Check it out!
Yes, thanks! We are headed there on Friday!
I absolutely love all of your videos! Tried your recipe for the kale cooked in crockpot. It was delicious! Also added Everything Bagel spice to it. Scrumptious!
Sounds great!
Every Monday, our Community center gets the food from a local grocery store that is near the expiration date and puts it in the refrigerator for the taking. They also get lots of bread. Last week I got a package of Hoagie Rolls, for free, of course! I made homemade garlic toasts out of those free hoagies. After flash freezing them, the rolls now reside in a plastic bag in my freezer. I can take out one or two and toast them in my air fryer. also perfect for when my son shows up for dinner!
Perfect! What a blessing!
I just got 5lb of potatoes for $1.50 ... I'm going to make mashed potatoes to go on top of cottage pie (with ground beef and frozen mixed veggies I had in my freezer which I'd gotten on sale a while back). This will be lots of meals for a bargain price! Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us! Your soup looked delicious!
Great price on this potatoes!
I also love my foodsaver! I ate a smoked pork chop today that was sealed 12/22/22 and tasted like I just bought it. Your friend found an amazing deal for you.
Yes, she really did!
A very frugal idea.
Save meat scraps,bones,skin, veggie scraps and make bone broth.
Super cheap to make yourself.
At the stores,bone broth is insanely expensive.
Coffee grounds can be put in compost,if you didn't know.
So can tea leaves.
Just not bones,or things like that
Yes, thanks!
Homemade flapjacks are great I just made a batch yesterday so we now have a tin full to go with a cup of tea . I also use up old bread make bread crumbs freeze them then I use them to make my own breaded chicken much cheaper than ready done ones.
Yes, also healthier! Good for you!
My friend was a professional painter... Also a good tip is get a slightly damp cloth after filling the holes with your putty knife. Wipe it after you fill it and make it flush with the wall.... no sanding😀😀😀
What a thoughtful neighbor. I see many meals with that ham. I love that your frugal meals are more like fine dining and healthy too. Thanks Emmy and Paul.
What a kind compliment, thank you!
I was sure you were going to be making something with ham in it! Opposite of your question, today I went to a local fruit stand, and watermelons were $14!!
Not this video lol!
Wow! Great buy on the Cooks ham. It’s my favorite brand. I’m going to try cutting mine like Paul did. Soup looks amazing!
Thanks so much, Jeannel!
I am so sorry I just hit the thumb’s down instead of thumbs up! I always love your post ❤️
😊 thank you. You can undo the thumbs down by clicking on it again and it will go away.
Hi Emmy, great meal ideas and the potato corn soup looked amazing! I found sliced white mushrooms at Aldi last week, 8 oz each .95 cents. I use a lot of mushrooms in my cooking. I know Paul is not a fan of them. 😊
Sounds great!
Our Giant food store had Easter Peeps candy for $.17 a pack 🤗
Our son would of been thrilled, lol!
If you get real parmesan cheese,save the rind for soups,stews, sauces.
It adds such good flavor
Yes, we keep a bag in the fridge!
