Lori, I am 81 years old and learn something from you with everyone of your videos! You are so knowledgeable when it comes to cooking, caning, preserving by drying , dehydrating…even the history of preserving food. You are a treasure! Please continue to teach us. Love and appreciate you so much!
Thank you so much
Loved this! So many people don’t realize how much they waist in food alone. I remember my grandmother doing this after Thanksgiving. She’d fix turkey pot pie filling, pumpkin, apple pie filling, beans and potatoes, candied carrots and can/freeze it up for the next few months. Peas, green beans and beets would be canned last of spring. Never occurred to me that you could can oranges and lemons...now I know. Thank you for sharing your beautiful knowledge! You brought back beautiful memories for me.💗
My grandmother taught me to add salt to a pot of beans right at the beginning just like you do. After 50 years, I have yet to produce a pot of tough beans. Thank you so much for all of these wonderful videos.
I absolutely agree! My sister called me and asked for my beans recipe, she asked me if she should soak the beans over night or cook them slow w/o soaking. I told her if you want TASTELESS beans soak them first...because the FLAVORS infuse into the beans as they cook if you do NOT soak them. She listened and later told me the beans were DELICIOUS. SALT AND SPICE AND MEAT all at the same time!
Love the canning of oranges. Everyone should declutter. The food we toss could feed so many people. You are precious ❤️
Is there anything you can't do? You're awesome !! Love your hubby too...
I dehydrated lemons and limes for tea and for cooking fish. But when there on sale I squeeze them and fill a ice cube tray and pop them out and put them in zip lock bags. In the winter they can cost .79 cents or more a piece and in summer they get down to .25 cents a piece. thanks for all the Ideas. Thank you my friend :)
Great tips Rosanna, lemon and fish were made for each other, and I like the putting the juice in ice trays, great tip, xoxoxo
I'm going to do this! I live in the Alabama FL line area & neighbors give me tons of lemons & limes sometimes too many..Thank you for posting this! Lol I can't believe I've bought store juice when I could of should of been doing this😉 again thank you!
Miss Lori , your doing things same as I do n I'm 74 ! You was raised up a whole lot like I was. Does my heart good seeing these ! God bless
Thank you, God Bless,xoxoxo
Oh, Miss Lori! Your refrigerator looks beautiful, you have nothing to complain about, plus you have an action plan to deal with the surplus. Love to you and Mr. Brown and your family. 🥰💕❤️ I’m learning so much from you!
I absolutely love your real side by side fridge. How come nobody ever thought about this before.
Well, I'm a frugal shopper, I wanna get my money's worth, and this way had more storage, some people, put a fridge and freezer side by side, xoxoxo
@@WhippoorwillHoller what brand are they. I want to find these in my area.
I was wondering what you would do with those orange peels. I save mine, freeze them and bring them out in cold weather with a stick of cinnamon and a few cloves and boil to make my house smell good. I have allergies and cannot use manufactured room perfumes. I love watching you. Thanks for the videos.
Hi Lou! I bet that does make the house smell good, I'm going to do that this winter, it does make a good surface cleaner, thanks for watching!
I do that too ❤❤
I take the peels and put them in an empty 1/2 gal cleaning vinegar jug with 2 cinnamon sticks. Cover with cleaning vinegar. (You can use white vinegar) let it sit 3 weeks. Strain into a spray bottle. Orange oil cleaner. You can refill the jug with cleaning vinegar. Let it sit another 3 weeks. Wonderful cleaner for just pennies.
The orange peels are also great for making vinegars and homemade cleaners that smell lovely
You are amazing. We lived on an a large property outside of town for miles. We didn't go to town often either. I had a huge Canby rasberry patch and a huge garden that a farmer would plow and dump manure on for us. We lived off that garden and canning was a summer rutine. We froze the corn however I had to divorce my husband leaving me with four children, the oldest 9 years . The garden kept us going for a year while I healed from a very traumatic divorce. Then off to University I went to get an education with my children in a different state. Teaching became my profession. How grateful I am for the years I had raising children, gardening, canning and sewing. These are such essential skills. It is wonderful to watch your videos and escape back into those days. There is nothing like a full time homemaker!!!
I miss my days on the big farm, life was just as busy
But a good busy
My kids were raised with simplicity, and clean air, and a creek to bath in too
It was a beautiful time
It's still that way for some, but most have never seen this life
We are Blessed, xoxoxo
Thank you! I always hate throwing out things! You’re such a good influence, I learn so much from you!
Little did you know, covid - 19 pandemic was just a year away. My sister zests her citrus and juices it, too. Then she freezes it for future recipes into small baggies, then stores it all in a big freezer bag. I really enjoy your shows about preserving and homesteading. God Bless yall.
Ms Lori I love your video’s and learn so much. It brings back memories of my grandma. ❤️🥰
I love you Ms Lori! You are THE REAL DEAL! Your fridge looks good to me! 💜💜
Pam Fraim ❤️
I'm just an old country gal, a little rough around the edges, my heart is full of so much love, God Bless
Whippoorwill Holler we all love you for it!! You’re one beautiful sole 🌸🌸🌸
You have the most pleasant voice to listen to. Your such a natural. I totally agree with you on Homemaking Classes. I was (maybe still am) hard core tomboy and chose cutting wood all day with PawPaw instead of hanging in the kitchen and learning. If it wasn’t for my junior high through high school Home Economics classes I would be more lacking.
We didn’t have UA-cam back in the day either so what a great learning tool it has become. I’m so enjoying your channel.
Gotta go water the garden. Have a Blessed day.
I know exactly, I was raised by my grandparents, I would rather be out with him, feeding the cows, hogs, cutting wood, fixing fence, I guess we had the best of both worlds didn't we! God Bless xoxoxo
Loved all your great ideas, never thought to can oranges and lemons! What a great idea! Love the wonderful smell of lemon and orange, and turning waste peels into natural cleaners 😸❤️
Hello Miss Lori
I thought I would share this tip with you regarding your lemons. I wash and dry my lemons I zest my lemons pack my zest into little zip bags to freeze then freeze the whole lot (zest ready to use whole, that way I always have lemons on hand, uses:- lemon juice for baking, sauces, fish where ever one would need fresh lemon juice 👍😜🇿🇦
Love to watch your videos I feel such affinity for your way of life and both you and Mr Brown it's like having friends I visit when watching your videos 🤗💕
Now, this is my kind of decluttering! Thank you for the inspiration😘
Oh Lori! You saved the day for me. I bought a bunch of clementines for the grandkids and they didn't eat nearly enough of them. So I am going to be canning them! Thank you for your help. God bless;
That is a great idea to have two fridges side by side with just opposing doors!! So much cheaper to buy those than to buy a big commercial fridge set!!!
I just found your channel and I love it! My fridges, freezers and home canned food have become a source of ribbing from my family. The family here in California knows that if “the big one” hits, I’ll have enough food for all of us for a long time. It’s all about preparedness.
Your so right, we were raised raising and preserving our own food, but also, being prepared for any disaster is necessary, God Bless,xoxoxo
I juice my lemons and freeze the juice in the old style ice trays. Then keep them in container in freezer. I can grab a cube of lemon juice out as needed.
Thank you! I never thought of canning oranges or clementines! I try to get organic oranges and lemons, usually, and the peel I dehydrate for later to use in cakes, or stews.
Thank you for this lovely video. I really appreciate your calm and peaceful demeanour and the way you share your kitchen. Thank you.
Thank you Melissa, xoxoxo
You got a lot done! I like how you have your fridges size by side! My mother always said Waste not want not! Happy New Year 🥳
Candy peel is another great use for the peel.
Vodka and peel makes extract to
Mixed peel marmalade is good too!
🤗👏 Wow... I am so very impressed at how resourceful and knowledgeable you are! Thank you for teaching us all these useful lessons. 🙏 I think you are an amazing, hardworking woman with a wealth of knowledge and have such a beautiful face and soothing voice. I will be shopping for canning supplies and no longer throwing out all my mandarin oranges and lemons as they are ALWAYS MOLDY by the 4th day after purchase here in Las Vegas Nevada. 😥
I loved that you didnt throw out the peels lol.so much you can do with them.make cleaners.you also can dehydrate the peels and grind them up to powders for baking
Hi Lori, Wow...you are doing so much in this video to make good use of what you have on hand so that you don't have to throw anything out. I am so with you - waste not want not. I love what you did with everything you had on hand. And the clementines canned up were so pretty!! And I am looking forward to making a citrus vinegar by just pouring vinegar over the peels. That is so easy!! Thanks for sharing!! Love this decluttering series!! Love, Mary
Thank you Mary, love you sister, xoxoxo
I stumbled across your channel a couple of days ago and now I can't stop watching. I'm learning so much! Thank you!
Thank you
Loved this! You sound like Martha Stewart saying “it’s a good thing!” Love you 😊 thumbs up!
I'm making my cleaner TODAY!!! I've learned so much from you. Canning my fruit is what I will also be doing! Beans, too!!!
Miss Lori, I love your videos! Being the youngest of 7 children, my momma didn't teach me most of these things & I so enjoy learning from you!! ;) I made your chicken & dumplings a couple of days ago- they were delicious! Thank you.
Oh good! I'm glad you liked them! Xoxoxo
I love your honesty! Thank you for this!
Love this! Saves so much $. Makes me realize how much I waste.
You are my soul sister. I am phobic about wasting food. I cook like you , can and dehydrate so things don't go to waste. Frugal Mainer here.. was brought up like this. Nothing feels better than shelves of canned goods in the pantry.. Love your videos.
Hi Lise, so nice to meet you! God Bless,xoxoxo
We have a great food pantry in our small town. I get what they call a senior box. It is for those on Social Security. But, they always have so many extras they give. Last month I got flat of tomatoes, mangos, 2 bags of potatoes, oranges, apples and onions. I had more than enough for myself and to share with neighbors. Then I canned apple butter. Mango jam. Dehydrated potatoes and still had enough to eat.
Loved this! God bless you!
Mrs Lorie, Thank you so much for sharing with us on how to make cleaning solution from Orange peels.
That’s Doc Martin intro music!! I love that show. Great video!
One of my favorite shows!
Loved all of this information. Thank you. There are a lot of new "maybe I might try to can" people out there. we appreciate ALL of the advise and learning!
Great video. I love the cleaner idea
Love my magic mill dehydrator. Also got a mesh solar dehydrator for fresh washed herbs hang in window on enclosed patio. Then put product in my magic mill. And solar start next batch saves me time
I love your kitchen “cabinets “.
Again a very nice video...I had a huge garden for 53 years and then we moved to a townhouse and I can’t have a garden anymore. I used to dehydrate most of my garden harvest but did do a little canning too. I really miss that! I am still going to dehydrate my produce that I buy in bulk. But canning oranges is a new thing for me to do. Thank you for showing me how. Agree with you, using up what is in the fridg with either dehydrating or canning is a nice feeling of accomplishment. Also love the cleaning solution made with lemons and oranges. I only use natural cleaning products so I will also make this as I am a cleaning freak as my family tells me.
Loved this episode I’m learning so much from you. Thank you 🙏🏻
Great video! Smart ideas!!
Thank you for Talking about all the little details that you wouldn’t know unless you have experience so I want you to know I really appreciate it the way you going into detail I really love your cleaner that you make and now I’m going to make that too. So smart ❤️

I appreciate you so much. I especially ❤ your accent, which reminds me of my Nonnie, who came from TN.
I have begun canning...she taught me as a child, but now I am starting fresh again. Glad to have found you...the kneedy homemaker sent me over.

Wonderful time spent with you! Great household tips. The cleaner!!! I’ve never canned oranges.
Thank you for this video. I learned a lot from it. I think I'll try making the homemade cleaner for sure! Love your videos. From Troy, Ohio
I would have never thought to can oranges. Thank you Ms. Lorie 😍
I feel you on that. It feels good to get rid of that clutter. Doing it without waste though. Definitely cool.👍
Thanks guys, sweet words! January is decluttering month with Lesia from Sutton's Daze, I've got alot to do, before getting ready to start seeds, and getting ready for spring! God Bless
If I have too many oranges, I cut them up in small pieces and boil them with the amout of sugar I like and a little water. After 20 mins. or so I put this mixture in a clean empty jar and place it in the refrigerator. It makes a tasty marmalade.
Thank you for teaching. Great video. Love and respect from the netherlands
Thank you very much!
Thank You, for another needed inspirational video, my icebox needs this done and I'm motivated to tackle it, now!
Enjoy your videos so much. Thank you.
I have got to can some oranges and lemons now. ☺️ thank you for another great video.
I never realized you could can this stuff! Gonna try this! I was happy to learn that I could ferment to preserve them
I am so thankful to you. You are teaching me a great deal and I love you for it. God bless you and your family 👪
Your videos are so informative and helpful.
busy lady!!!!!.....i do understand how being productive makes you feel good.....thank you!
You're AMAZING ❤️
I just love watching your videos! This one is a treat with the variety of ideas! I love the smell of oranges and am cutting some up now because I am making cleaner with the peels! I've always used vinegar but adding orange peels is genius! Just love you!! 💖
Thank you so much for taking the time to record this. What a wonderful and easy way to use what we think we aren't going to be able to. And, for more than one thing! Love how you talk about what and why you are doing what you are doing, it's like being there in your kitchen with you! When things get "lost" in my refrigerator, I use that for worm food. So, even that doesn't go to waste. Thanks again for the visit. Enjoy your day! Catherine
Yes, I throw alot out to the chickens, and compost, xoxoxo
those beans looked awesome. Love the cleaner too. Great video as usual
Thanks so much

Such a good idea!!!!! 🧡
What a savings! Last year I canned and froze tomatoes.. Cooked green beans with ham hocks and seasoning in the crockpot and froze them. Made strawberry jam, peach preserves and apple butter to freeze. Made nice gifts and was wonderful eating for our household. Must try some of your ideas. Thank you so much. God bless you and your family. 🙏🏻😊
We have a lg family. Now almost all of them moved off and married, which is great, but my husband says we don’t need that much groceries, i always tell him, “. If he ever had done without once or twice he would make sure never to be without and never to waste “..
Thank you ...so interesting. 👍👍🙏
I am having so much fun watching your video's from the past! I just started canning again. And I am enjoying it so much!!! So much good information you share with us!!! Thank you!!! Love to you and Mr. Brown, from Michigan.
Thank you Mary! Happy canning!
Learning so much from you...never knew you could can citrus fruits.🍊🍋
Ms. Lori, you are so right, waste not want not. That is what we heard from my mother growing up. How true!
Definitely going to make cleaner. Bet it smells great! I use to can, you make me want to get back to it.
Thank you for your videos.Learning a lot,for I do canning too.
😊I am so glad you said you had at least eaten some of those oranges! I kept thinking how good those are and how much more nutrients you would get from eating them fresh, of course I know you need to put some of them up for future. You guys are a hoot and I just love the way you guys wear me out with all your energy. You continue to push me a little bit. I did go do some filing! Love and blessings to you both! ❤😊
Great video! I’m going to try the orange cleaner. Thank you for that.
Just found your channel a few days back and you have given me many ideas. My husband is dehydrating and decluttering right now. We also live in Arkansas and know about hard times. Love your videos and will continue watching. God bless you and your family!
Thank you! God Bless,xoxoxo
I had no idea I could can oranges or lemons! I will definitely be doing that from now on. No more ruined citrus here. Thank you for this video.
Good way to use things up Have a great weekend Blessing ☮️✌️👍❤️
