My goodness, Emmy! How do you exude such true joy?? Thanks for making our lives happier!
April that is so kind of you thank you...God's grace!
Your openings are always so soothing and beautiful. I love the Lancaster area, too. And Emmy!! You know my eyes were on the gorgeous tablecloth during the shopping haul!! I could listen to your voice for hours. You have such a calming voice!
Oh that is so kind of you to say Susan! So appreciate the encouragement!
The sunset reminded me of how much my younger sister loved her sunsets in KY. She lost her battle with cancer last Friday and your videos have been a great distraction for me as I watch or listen while doing things around the house until we leave for her service. Thank you!
Oh I am so very sorry to hear this! Prayers for you and your family!
The one-pot meal looks yummy, just adding that sour cream on it was a winner! Emmie, I have been meaning to mention this before, but your hair is looking beautiful!! I so wanted to have long hair all my life, but it is very fine and as straight as a pin! Really envy your hair and it always looks lovely.
Nice to see your cows grazing outside. We hear a lot about cows living entirely in barns in the U.S
Cows?? I think you have the wrong video…There are no cows within 50 miles of us LOL
Indeed there were cows grazing in the opening video...and you mentioned them also...Your Lancaster PA trip.
That was a great haul Emmy 👍 It's shocking how prices are rising with petrol and food, we've had a petrol crisis here in the UK over the past week or so and some petrol stations were charging nearly twice the normal price! It definitely pays to pay even closer attention to the prices and the small print.
That is so high!! Wow! Yes, we try and be diligent! Thanks!
I grew up with family from Yugoslavia. Our neighbor would make pigs in the blanket and before she had dinner with her family she would call me over and I was in seventh heaven eating hers. Sure miss them. Will be making this recipe thank you for a memory of my youth.
Oh so happy it blessed you Sheryl! Thank you!
A cabbage recipe my grandma gave to me (I think it's very German, too, lol!): put a small cabbage in quarters, two peeled potatoes for every person, a certain kind of sausage (it's called Mettenden in Germany, you need one per person), a slice of bacon and a chopped up onion in a big pot. Add water until everything is merely covered, let it cook 45 minutes. Sooo good! And it often lasts two days.
Sounds great! Thanks for sharing!
Oh I thought that was Lancaster! Hubby and I love it there💗 you guys are an absolute blessing, so inspiring! I did a grocery haul yesterday at 2 of my local grocery stores after going thru those circulars, getting digital and paper coupons. My haul was retail $184 but I spent $113 and got 10.50 back in coupons for my next visit🎉Thank you for encouraging ideas and helping to spread confidence 💕
That is awesome Jenn! So very proud of you!! Thanks for sharing!
Lancaster is our favorite place to get away! We went there for our honeymoon 46 years ago!! Love Sight and Sound!!
YES! So much fun!!
Love you all!😊
Thanks so much, Tina! Sending hugs!
your videos are such a blessing to me. You are so positive and upbeat. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips. it is very much appreciated!
You are so welcome Maria! Thank you!
I make stuffed cabbage casserole in the slow cooker. I use tomato soup instead of crushed tomatoes.
Sounds good!
What a fantastic idea. I love cabbage and that recipe looks so hearty, like comfort in a bowl. I think your modification is perfect, like a deconstructed stuffed cabbage. Amazing, like always.
Awww thanks so much Glenda!
Wow!!! On the gas station trick…I would not have been a happy camper lol. You are so right we have to be vigilant. I make something similar to what you made called cabbage roll soup. I have always used the rice and mine is a little more “soup” texture. I use tomato juice instead of canned tomatoes. I have heard of people using V8 juice, but to me that would add too much sodium. Excellent meal for anytime of year. I was very interested in your freezing cabbage technique. I have always canned our extra cabbage we grow in our garden, I have never frozen it 🤔 hmmm . Can you do a video in the future of how you use that frozen cabbage in a recipe? I would be so happy to see that. 😀😀 Beautiful haul and the footage of PA was gorgeous. Thanks for all you and Paul do to share with us. 🙏🏻♥️
Tammy thank you for all your continued support!! So appreciate your positivity!
In NJ, there’s usually a .10 cent difference between paying cash versus credit card for gas. I need to teach you the Jewish way of making stuffed cabbage 😂. Just came back from ShopRite and I also bought the broccoli rabe and 3 packages of ronzoni lasagna noodles for $2.
LOL Amy! Sounds good! Thanks!
I could never get the hang of rolling the cabbage around the meat, so Emmy's recipe looks more like something I could handle.
One of my New Favourite Channels xxx God Bless you All xxx
Yay! Thank you so much
Thank you for showing me how to freeze cabbage
You guys were in our neighborhood!! So glad you enjoyed it!!
Just we loved it! Thank you!
I love all of your beautiful table cloths. I’ve been binge watching your videos so I have really noticed them.
I really do love when I can find a bargain vintage tablecloth LOL
More beautiful scenery, great buys, yummy looking cabbage recipe, and thanks so much for warning us about the gas station prices! Love and prayers to you and Paul.
Love and prayers back Amy! Thank you!
What a great uplifting video, you're right let's stop panicking and do our best xx
Exactly!
Love your fall blouse! Your one pot meal looks like cabbage chilli. Looks yummy!
Thanks Michelle!
Emmy you are a great bargain shopper.
Oh thanks so much!
I used to make cabbage rolls.....then one day as I was getting my cabbage ready to roll up and I thought to myself...no...and I just chunked my cabbage up and stirred all my ingredients together and made a casserole....looks like what you cooked
SO smart Joyce! Cabbage rolls are a lot of work lol!
Thanks sooo much for you two.My husband is from Geneva,ny.I will have him watch you as well.God bless,and keep on making GREAT videos.Very inspirering,Debi Hall
Awesome! Thank you so much! God bless you as well!!
Yesterday I made something similar…..kielbasa, cabbage, carrots & potatoes…..very yummy……this week, our gas went up 10 cents per gallon…..we’re now at $3.55 per gallon…grr-r-r…..your trip to Lancaster looked so enjoyable….
Yes Carolyn! So frustrating!!
That meal looks amazing!!! Thank you for the tips on preserving the rest of the cabbage to freeze 😊
You are so welcome Kathy!
I agree on the floss picks-
Wonderful video. Love the tips and one pot recipe. Your videos are so soothing and uplifting. In England we're having very stormy rainy weather this week, just the autumnal weather for a hearty one pot 😋. Blessings to you both.
You are so welcome Helen! Thank you, you too!!
So happy I saw this video! Can't wait to try that unstuffed cabbage roll recipe
It's so yummy Julie!
Love your simple frugal recipes!
Thanks so much Lisa!
Gas stations here in CNY have been playing that game for years. My hubby and I regularly visit a Gulf gas station near us that only charges 2.99 for cash when you use your debit card. We always try to go there. Its even cheaper than stations who give discounts if you are a " member." Loved the tips on freezing cabbage. I didn't know you could freeze it! I definitely will be doing that from now on. I love that recipe and make it a lot in the fall. I also add some cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice to it for some fall flavor and maybe even a few chunks of apple! So good! Thanks for the video 😁 Can't wait til Fridays!!!
So very kind of you! Thank you! Can't wait to see you on Friday too!
Oh my your dinner looks so good! I’m going to have to make it! 🥰 and no I didn’t know that garlic press trick! Thank you 👍
YAY! I shared something knew lol! Hope all is well Cindy!!
Loved content.... tip use three tooth picks to hold cabbage while cooking .
David jenson
Great tip!
Lots of cabbage grown here in Central NY . It’s a fall stable and very yummy . Make some coleslaw! It’s so easy .
Oh Yum! Coleslaw is one of Paul’s favorite!
Yum!
Mrs. Emmie you look beautiful!!! I’am from lancaster county too!! Lots of Amish people around glad you visited my state ☺️ I always look forward to your videos they are just so, peaceful and relaxing to me!! Plus I have learned so much from you already. Blessings to you and your family 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
Liz what a lovely comment! Thank you so much! Blessings to you too!
It’s Lancaster (lan KISS ter). From a Pennsylvania girl. Love your channel and your frugal tips.
Yes, lol! I'll never make that mistake again
Thank you for the great tips! Love your channel!
Thanks so very much Karen!
Too funny! My unstuffed cabbage soup was almost exactly the same Emmy! 🤣 The recipe I used called for 1 chopped green bell pepper, 1tsp each of thyme and oregano, 1Tbsp Worcestershire, 2 cups of beef broth and 1 & 1/2 cups of V8 (I used ShopRite vegetable juice). It came out great BUT the rice absorbed a lot of the liquid. It is no longer a soup!!! I did add a bit more rice than the recipe called for. It sure made a lot! will cook the rice separately when I make it again. Great buys at ShopRite. You got some of the same deals I got. Hmmm 😉Lol!
LOL!! Yes ours was super thick too! It made a lot for us as well! I froze two extra packages lol! Thanks for being here Chris...you are appreciated!
Love your tablecloth Emmy
Thank you so much Catherine!
HI Emmy! What a beautiful opening! Thank you for telling us about being more careful to notice prices at the gas pump. I haven't heard of that before. Can you give tips on what to do with Broccoli rabe? I have never seen it before and would love to try it!
Oh Tammy broccoli rabe is too good! Maybe I'll do a food prep video on it to explain!
@@FrugalMoneySaver That would be awesome! Thank you!
Really love that one pot meal! I really appreciate your frugal tips and recipes!
Erin I am so glad our videos are helpful! Thank you so much!
Yummmm love cabbage rolls and this looks delicious and filling! Wonderful haul also.
Thank you 😋!!
This is brilliant, so helpful, thanks so much Emmy & Paul xx
You are so welcome! Thank you!
Always great tips and inspiration! God bless you both!
Thank you! You too Susan!
Thank you for sharing your hauls. Your table looked like my daughter's as she extreme coupons almost regularly. After she gets great deals, she turns a profit from her stash. I am in awe of the great bargains she brings home. I love getting products of all kinds for Christmas presents.
Your cabbage meal looked delicious. I've done a similar recipe for our meals. We grew cabbage this summer but I never thought of freezing it for later.
I think of so many frugal tips you share. One I use daily is using less toothpaste. Also I use less shampoo. It works just as well. More money💰in my pocket for sure. 🙂
You and Paul are like my good friends. I enjoy your videos, even if I don't have time to watch all of them. Blessings to you today and always!
Willette from Alabama
Roll Tide!!!
Love that "Roll Tide!" We are Clemson fans actually lol! Thanks so much for the kind comment and encouragement Willette!
Great video and tips! Thanks! 🥰🥰
Thank you Debi!
I live in Amish Country Ohio. It’s really beautiful here also.
Hi Emmy and Paul. Lancaster is a very beautiful place to visit. We enjoy going there. Great video. We are paying $3.08 a gallon for gas ... thank's for the heads up. Hope your week is special 🐶🐶🐶 Also, hi to Dixiebelle from Biscuit.
Hello dear Karen and Biscuit! Thanks so much for being here!
Always a joy to watch your videos ,blessings from Manchester England.
Brona that is so kind of you! Thank you!
Thank you for another great video (as always) I will definitely be trying the 1pot meal, looks delicious. Also top tip about the garlic, I've been peeling it for decades 😆
You are so welcome! This was a new trick I learned too!
Loved your opening visual from Lancaster, PA. I've visited that area before but not for many years. Thanks for reminding me of how beautiful the area is. Cabbage dish sounds fantastic; I'm going to try it!
Hope you enjoy it Alice! Thanks!
I will be trying this recipe later this week since I have a cabbage in the fridge. Thanks for the heads up on the gas too! Thanks for sharing and God bless.
God bless you too Eileen and thank you!
Great 👍 idea
Great Haul!👍 love unstuffed cabbage recipes. You can really make it your own.
So true!! Thanks for being here!
Looks delicious 😋
Great video, loved recipe! Will definitely make it! And the gas, oh yea, gotta keep eyes 👀 wide open!!
Thanks so much Lesley!
My local gas station that I use all the time.....I finally downloaded their app to save 5 cents per gallon. First fill up was 10 cents off per gallon. I can sync it to my card or go in and pay cash. It isn't much of a saving, but it will add up in a year. I absolutely hate gimmics like this to save a little, but I did sign up for this one.
Good for you! If it saves you money what the heck then right lol!
Always helpful and I didn't know about the gas with cash price
Thank you wonderful as always 💖
You are so welcome Catina! Thank you!
Thank you for the tip about the cabbage! I love cabbage but only cook for me, so I rarely buy it. Will keep the freezing in mind!
You are so welcome!
Great heads-up on the cash versus credit card gas prices!
Glad it was helpful!
just came across your videos. I watched two, particularly love this one.
Awesome, thank you! So happy you are here! Thank you!
Yum ! Lazy Golumpki...my favorite meal !! Thanks for the heads up on gas prices ! I need to be vigilant ! Love your videos !
YAY!! Thanks so very much!
Love love this meal.
YAY! Thanks Peggy!
Yummy looking one pot meal.
Thank so much!
Oh that recipe looks delicious. I am going to try it and use cauliflower rice instead of the rice. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea Denise! Let us know how it comes out!
Everyone loves your landscape openings!!!!
David that is so kind of you to say! Thank you!
Paul is so gracious.
I hate it when gas stations do that. Here in the Carolinas the price difference is usually 10 cents a gallon more for using a credit or a debit card. I got tickled at your response. Reminded me of the tiny, tiny little container of salsa you got at Nacho Hippo that they charged your $3.00 for! That was so ridiculous! The one pot meal looked absolutely delicious! Thanks Emmy, Paul & Dixie Belle!
BHAHAHA! I was so upset about that little container. Not the money so much as the principle!!
@@FrugalMoneySaver Exactly!
I have made this recipe and love it. I did the same as you and added the rice but also added lentils and it turned out amazing. I also had to add extra water as the cabbage wasn't cooked enough for me.
Sounds great Deborah! Thank you!
Your dish looked so good! Am a great fan of reducing the meat in favor of a healthy alternative, so how you worked in the rice was so helpful. I've also experienced the cash vs. credit gas cost, and it was a bummer.
Thank you so much! So happy you are here!
I have had the priviledge of visiting Pennsylvania.... such a beautiful part of your country. I enjoyed your cabbage dish shall try it. Always upbeat such an inspiration. Stay safe, your northern neighbour
Thank you so much Hilda!!
I have been substituting lentils for some ground beef in recipes. Chili, pasta with meat sauce.
Oh that’s a great sub!
My Mother always used tomato soup for stuffed cabbage,but I can't wait to try it this way, thank you, so much appreciated,I will use ground turkey,I don't care for beef anymore, I have never seen the garlic tip before,sure appreciate that tip.
You are so welcome! Glad the video was helpful!
That recipe looks delicious
Thanks so much Lorrena!
In every gas station in my area there is a 10 cents a gallon upcharge for credit. It's been that way for 2-3 years.
Some of our gases stations do it but not many...well I guess that's changing lol!
I thank you for your advice on how to freeze lemon and lime wedges. It worked great.
YAY!! So happy Murlene! Thanks for letting me know!
Hi Emmy and Paul. In California, we have Costco gas. They only take cards and give you 4 percent back if you use the Costco card. I can go online and check the price before filling up. Sometimes the neighboring town is less. If I'm going that way anyways, it makes sense to stop there. I know you don't have Costco but maybe somewhere near you there is a similar option. Take care and I enjoyed your video.
Great tip! Thanks Kimberly!
You got great prices on your haul!
I never paid it attention to that with the gas. Ty for the tip!!!
You are so welcome! Thanks for being here!
An awesome video to celebrate the beginning of the beautiful fall season. Thank you.
I've been to Pennsylvania twice, years ago and hope to go again to visit the Amish country.
Great value on all your items purchased. Looking forward to your apple makings since I'll be picking lots of free apples off family's trees. New ideas other than my same cakes, muffin and bread are welcome. I bake and freeze. I did see on Pinterest that you can freeze the apples whole??? Maybe I'll try since I'll have an abundance of free apples.
Did you harvest your pumpkins?
Would love to see your fall decorations.
Have a great rest of the week!!
Our pumpkins did not do well this year :( Not a good pumpkin year for my brothers crop or ours!
You and Paul were in my neck of the woods! Next time stop over for coffee in my kitchen!!!🎃🎃🍁🍁
Oh Annie how fun would that be! Thank you!
I'm heading to Shop Rite in the morning, so many of the same items on my list! Love the Egglands Best Eggs digital doorbuster.
Yes great price! We have a ton of eggs from our last $10 haul at Acme lol!
Wonderful haul at Shoprite and Lancaster. I live in Central NY and we have farms. It was so nice to see the farms. I grew up on one. In Central NY they charge 10 cents extra for credit.
Yes, the extra money for credit is something new by us!
@@FrugalMoneySaver so very sad.
Emmy Lol! I just made the same meal tonite for dinner. I used half pound fried hamburger onions cabbage diced tomatoes from the garden and leftover rice with taste of chili garlic sauce. My husband said it didn't look good but it tasted good. He was surprised 😃
Exactly like Paul lol! Thank you!
Love this video! Your meal looks like the home cooking I grew up with and then served my own family - yum! You gave Diva Dixie the day off?
Yes, Dixie can't have too much air time or she demands more money aka treats lol!!
Such beautiful scenery! I make a similar beef cabbage skillet, but don't add rice and add cheese (it is pretty low carb then). I bet it would be good with sour cream! We are doing good with the clean-up part of your challenge. The garage is actually presentable now. 😅 We fell off the wagon with cooking at home this weekend (I was too tired to cook after all the cleaning) but we are getting back on the home-cooking wagon. Not only is it better for our budget, but we feel better too!
Amy good for you!! Sounds like you have been super busy!
Making this tonight!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Ritzi & I are sending Love & Cheer from Texas to DixieBelle, Paul & Emmy Love 💘 ❤ 💖 💕 💗 ♥
Love right back!! Thank you!
Loved the meal! I too had made that last fall, so so much easier that making my family’s traditional Polish stuffed cabbage rolls! I think I had even made it using some reduced bulk Italian sausage I had gotten….
Debra sausage sounds good in it too!
Just subscribed...awesome! :) Blessings from Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
Thanks so much and welcome! So great to have you both here!
Lancaster looks beautiful, I love the farmland scene. My mum used to cook stuffed cabbage with rice and ground beef. In Australia the cost of gas is the same for cash or card .
Thanks so much for being here!
Our gas stations have been doing this cash/credit deal for a while. I don’t like it but like to use my gas card for convenience. We went up in the mountains last weekend to pick mushrooms and noticed a gas station 10 cents a gallon less than in town ($3.89!...Washington state) so we filled up on our way home then went to work processing 10 pounds of Chanterelles!!!
Yes, Stephanie prices are up everywhere on so many items!
Awesome!
Thanks Steve!
I'm not a raisin gal but I need the potassium. I actually prefer the golden raisins. Absolute fav are the crasins. Too expensive on the shelf, but I can make my own unsweetened with whole cranberries and my dehydrator. Love your cooking videos!
Thanks Victoria!
Hi Emmy, I was shocked at the the price difference of cash v card. I live in the UK and as far, as I'm aware, this doesn't happen over here...yet. We're in the middle of a fuel shortage at the pumps and the prices are going up anyway so people are being a bit more wise with their travelling. I always enjoy your posts and do get a lot out of them so thank you. I will definitely be trying your one pot meal, the weather is getting colder here and it looks so warming. Take care both of you.
Thanks so very much for the kind words Jennifer!!
Emmy,you can use the remaining 1/3 head of cabbage to make cole slaw,cabbage soup,or stuffed cabbages.i do know cabbage soup.freezes well,as do stuffed cabbages.
Thanks Rochelle!
That cabbage had to be huge! Great video.😍🙏🏻
Thank you 😋. It was!
