    I’m a Catholic, but I’ve always been impressed by the women in the LDS community delighting in their homemaking. You just don’t hear Catholic women talk about this much- even in the rural tight-knit community I grew up in. Working outside the home is so favored now. But there is so much value in knowledge like this, and it holds churches and communities together. Love a church cookbook

      Thank you! I've always been very impressed by every Catholic woman I've met! Each one has been a kind and lovely women of God. Working outside the home is also creeping into our LDS culture, as it is everywhere. Honestly - it is near impossible to pay the bills on one income these days, no doubt a clever vice of the enemy of our souls. I feel certain attacking the home and family is his main focus, which is why I feel so passionately to defend it and encourage homemakers to guard it well. Thanks for watching today and I truly enjoyed our conversation together. Thank you for your kindness towards my faith and please know I deeply honor and respect your own!

    Corning Ware is one of the most versatile dishes around! When it first came out, one of the commercials advertised it as “from the freezer, to the oven, to the table.” I have been married for nearly 52 years and got some as wedding gifts that I am still using! I have also inherited some of my mom’s and my dear mother-in-law’s Corning Ware pieces, as well as some I picked up at thrift and resale shops. Their companion dinnerware, Correlle, has lasted me 29 years without one piece breaking!
    I loved this podcast!

Most come with a clear lid. They not only cook food well, but they clean up easy! Wishing you and your family a blessed weekend!

    Also a wooden spoon across a pot of boiling potatoes when making mashed potatoes.
    If needing to soften a stick of butter for baking, pour boiling water in a tall glass, then pour water out water and place glass over a standing stick of butter for a few minutes. The stick of butter will be perfectly softened and not melted.

    • @TIDBITSandCompany

      Brilliant!!! Although - I have made my boiled potatoes in the Instant Pot so long, I think I forgot you could boil them on the stovetop. Ha! I've learned the butter trick as well and taught my kiddos - since we no longer have a microwave. It's a great hack! Thanks for sharing it with everyone!

But always fun to learn from women of the past. I grabbed some vintage homemaking magazines at an antique store once. I should dig those out of my boxes and share some nuggets there too!

    Corning Ware is a cooking/bakeware dishes. Both my grandmother and mother had so much of this cookware. It has become quite collectible in recent years. I live in Ohio and there was a factory in Greenville not too far from where I live. It was very popular in the Midwest. It was durable and easy to clean. So it become very popular. It’s quite attractive too!

    Descale a tea pot with 1 part vinegar and three parts fresh water and boil. Then, if you have tile floors (mine is porcelain, other materials, please check to make sure vinegar won’t damage them!), pour the vinegar-water mixture on freshly vacuumed floors, use big cleaning towels to have a floor cleaning dance party! It’s the only way I ever enjoy cleaning my floors.

      Thank you! Glad to have taught you something new! I loved your fresh farm egg hack! Those can be really difficult to peel. I've also found "boiling" them in the Instant Pot works wonders. The peels come right off - but putting them directly in the ice water is key.

    One thing that I have been doing to keep the kitchen sink clean and from holding onto small bits of food. I use car wax, smear it on, let it dry then polish. It beads up water and doesn't allow food to adhere.

      LDS believe in God and Jesus. They are just a different faith that have different traditions, just like Jewish, Catholics, Methodist, Muslim, Evangelist, Unitarian and non denominational. I don't attend Church anymore, but fully believe in God and Jesus Christ and always working on my relationship with God. We are all sisters in Christ, regardless of our faith or lack there-of. I fully believe we were not put here on earth to judge our fellow brothers and sisters, but to love them as we would want them to love us.
