"Dont have to be pretty. Just has to taste good." Words to live by Miss Lori. Totally agree.

I think your channel should be required watching for every high school in the United States. What an amazing way to live. Even if you don't want to live like this, it's essential information for life in general. I wish everyone was as lucky as this couples children to have grown up learning this way.

OMG! The viewer that made the miniature cabinet is EXTREMELY TALENTED! The minute detail put into the workmanship is BEAUTIFUL! That is an ART and TALENT that has to be passed down from generation to generation. I hope no one will ever allow that gift to ever disappear. Oh! Thank you for sharing the recipes and how far a few items can go to feed oneself or a family. God Bless You Alll!

you are a wonderful teacher for those who didn't have one. If folks follow your lead they'll eat really good and healthy meals while saving money. God bless.

When our family was poor in the 1960s my mother made these kind of meals. Thank you so much! People need to re-learn the old ways☺️God bless

What a beautiful gift of the miniature cabinet! A gift of labor is a more precious gift than store bought. It’s made with respect and genuine gratitude and love. Good for you….you are an inspiration.

I love cooking one day and eating for two weeks! Make a bunch of freezer meals freeze and pull one out each morning. I will run 3 roasters or slow cookers depending on that weeks meat choices. Next day I divide and concur making tons of freezer meals. Makes meal time so easy. I learn so much from you. Thank you so very much for your knowledge and guidance. Your wisdom is needed in these times. Most of the old ways are lost and no one is self sufficient anymore.

I'm having a rough time in life right now and I want to thank you for your make ahead meal ideas. It's hard to get anything done but not having dinner ready just makes it all feel worse. God bless and have a good day.

Thank you so much Miss Lori ❤️ and a BIG Hello to a bare foot Mr. Brown wandering around in the cabin! You are both such a blessing!💞🐑🦌

Thanks for giving us a great way to have meals to pop in the oven of prepared frozen food! Great way to have dinner on the table when time is short! 💕

Wish you were my grandma! What a blessing to the world you are!😊

So many new preppers watching and don't know what to do with all of their stock ups. Thank you. Hugs and kisses to all. Stay safe.

More videos like this please! I look forward to your videos, you are so inspiring, thank you for sharing!

That’s the way to stretch a dollar. This made a lot of delicious meals. This is such a great idea and a wonderful time saver. You always give us such great ideas. The little cabinet is adorable. It matches your exactly. What a thoughtful gift. I know you’ll always cherish it. God bless you and Mr. Brown and your family.

The dollhouse cabinet is absolutely adorable!! What a thoughtful gift- cookbooks and all!

That miniature cabinet she made is amazing. Pure talent. I found a Victorian doll house with lights and wood floors filled with furniture all for 35.00 I just love it!

I so appreciate your channel. I was blessed growing up with a pioneer family in Oregon. They worked so hard and I learn many of the old ways and am using them now. I have to change so much as I have blood sugar issues as well as cholesterol but I do my best.

What a precious gift that little white cabinet was 💕. The meals look great!

I love cooking this way!! Definitely shows that you stretch food. I love cooking chickens down and making several meals of chicken noodle soup, chicken tetrazzini or chicken and broccoli casserole, chicken salad sandwiches, etc. Love sharing my chicken noodle soup with friends and family! Thanks for sharing!! That tiny hutch is amazing!

The cabinet made for you was so beautiful! People all over (literally) love you guys. God bless you and yours.

Just thank you so much for your videos, it is so peaceful and relaxing and inspiration the way you do everything, thank you miss Lori, glad to see you 😘

Ms.Lori,Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of cooking old ways,as I didn’t have any grandparents to ever show me. Thank you friend.

You're spurring me on to cook correctly once again. I've slacked off during the very hot summer we have had in Florida, but I need to start fixing up meals for myself. Those meals help me so much as a single person. I've not had much luck freezing rice just plain, but I'll try again. I like your idea of laying the chicken on top of the pot pie. That doll house replica was amazing!

That is the cutest thing! It would mean the world to me. I’m sure you will treasure it forever!

Thank you for sharing about your little cabinet , it’s so cute! It wonderful to hear about the goodness of other people! It makes my heart happy!

Excellent !! This is the kind of teachings people need ! To face what may come or unknown . Who knew you could feed your family so very well for so little money !! On behalf of young families everywhere , Thank You !

That little cabinet is adorable…she has made her dad proud. So wonderful…god bless xox

I'm such a fan of freezing cooked rice. It reheats really well without loosing it's taste & texture.. I always try to cook extra so I can tuck servings in the freezer for later.

Mrs.Lori you are a woman after my own heart. I love making something from so little. My kids and husband's have always told their friends I could make a huge meal out if 3 ingredients . Thank you.

Great way to stretch a grocery budget! It's good to have the 'what else can I do with this' mindset. We have always made a whole chicken into multiple meals, but you just have be inspiration to do other things. 🥰

I've been binge watching your video's the past week. Video from years ago even . You make me feel so nostalgic . My grandma taught me alot of the old ways . She is gone now ( GOD rest her soul ) . I use to love to set with her and shuck corn and hear stories of the old days .. Canning jars of peach jam .. Its so peaceful here on your channel .. I truly love the videos of you and Mr brown having dinner and chatting .. takes me back to when I was a child and this is how we did things .. Thank you for the videos.. You have somehow brought back memories I have forgotten ,, 🤗

Finally! Freezer meal recipes that my family would actually eat. Thank you, Ms. Lori! Sensible portions as well- we don’t need huge amounts and most of the ideas I see are for larger families. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I am totally wowed by that little cabinet. WOW!!!! ...also great recipes, thank you. 💗☺

What a beautiful labor of love there at so many senors that live alone and act of kindness such as this would be appreciated. Thanks for the video Lord bless you

Thank you for sharing these recipes. And thanks to our fellow subscriber for making a replica of Lori's cabinet. And, sending it along to her. We can surely see the joy it brought to Lori. Be well. 🥰🎉🎉

I absolutely love your channel. That sounds fantastic the meal prep. Love the cabinet. That lady is very talented.

Great video. Bet this chicken pot pie taste better than the store bought! I will try this. I live alone and have a sister that visits me on weekends. Thanks Lorie you are wonderful. I am 75years old and hate processed food from the grocery store. You are a blessing to me.

That cabinet is awesome 😀My Grandpa’s brother my uncle Fulton , made doll houses and furniture . They were gorgeous . All the detail . Most of his were Victorian . He carved me a dog one day took him about 20 minutes 😀I kept that dog for years . It got lost When I moved years ago broke my heart ❤️ . Your meals look yummy 😋 Thanks for sharing . God Bless You and Mr Brown 🙏

That’s awesome Ms. Lorie, a lot more people have to learn to stretch food this way!! This is an absolute terrific way to keep bellies filled!!! Wow!! Your subscriber made a Ms. Lorie miniature cabinet that’s absolutely adorable!!! Oh my goodness that’s beyond cute!!!! Oh my word! Two tiny cookbooks!!! That’s talent!!!!!

Your video is always good down to earth info with a wonderful family feeling . Thank you . I love it .

Love the recipes!! How sweet is that little hutch! Just like yours! Love it! What a thoughtful gift!

Miss Lori,you just take the worry out of cooking. I needed an easy recipe for chicken pot pie. We both love them and the ones in the grocery stores cost so much more for so little. Thank you so much.

Hi Mike here, Rochelle and I work from home and she told me about your channel, Love it! I'm a retired Corporate Executive Chef over 28 years and I like the way you cook, From the heart. The way you use all of the chicken is the best way, you use all of it and that broth looks great. Glad we found your channel, check us out. We do lot's of gardening and cooking and love to share with everyone. Rachel at "That 1870's Homestead" mentioned your channel. We are part of a wonderful KZfaq community. God Bless, Mike

Ms Lori. I have my grandmother's cabinet that is just like yours. It was always in her kitchen, and she used it as her pantry. Such wonderful memories every time I see yours in your videos.

That's amazing how much food you was able to prepare and freeze with 2 chickens ! The recipes look soooo good ❤❤

Yum yum yum 😋😍 thank you! Omg the lil cabinet is so adorable!!! Very sweet!!!💙❤️💙❤️😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doll houses are so adorable and fun. 👍👍👍👍

Everything looks so delicious! I love eating chicken pot pie & chicken & dumplings, especially in the fall & winter months. I'm going to try your Mexican casserole next. Thank you for sharing! ❤️

Great advice. Most Our generation knows how to cook. I hope the younger takes your advice. Thank you for sharing. ♥️

Miss Lorie, All your meals are delicious! I always look forward to your videos. Your daughters are lucky.

Great video... You're so sweet, thinking of others when doing food prep. That subscriber did a beautiful job on duplicating your cabinet. What a talent!! The food looked wonderful! Y'all take care💗🌻🙏

I just love this plan ahead/make ahead video. Thanks, Miss Lori! I love the miniature cabinet!

Good job!! Your husband is very blessed as are your children. Have a great weekend be safe 😊🙏🏻

That little cabinet is soooo cute 😍

WOW 😃 Miss Lori you always make me what to get into my kitchen and start your recipes 😋 they always look so delicious ❤️

Love the recipes you shared today, especially the chicken pot pie and that miniature cupboard is adorable. So grateful that your subscriber sent it to you and that you remembered to show it to us! Hope one day you will have a doll house of your own to keep it in.

Thank you so much for sharing the "good ole ways" love the cabinet!! Its3 just fun to "hang" with you and Mr Brown. Blessings.

Thank you for sharing these great recipes. I love the little cupboard. What a sweet gesture!

Love the meal preps! Now it is just my husband and myself and after raising a large family it is hard to scale down so now I can just freeze some! Keep these meal prep ideas coming! Thanks

what a sweet gift Miss Lori - what a gifted viewer to be able to replicate your cabinet so perfectly, then add your cookbooks too! When my family was young and I worked, prepping meals for the week was a 'must' - and even today, as an elderly widow, I still like to make 'enough' to freeze for another day's meal when I don't feel up to cooking. Blessings to you & Mr. Brown. When will he be giving us another devotional time? Enjoy them so much. ❤

The lady that made your tiny cabinet, is very talented

Love your videos and your life style. God bless you and your family.

I really like making several dishes at a time and they look so delicious. I know your Daughter will appreciate the chicken pot pie dishes. 🙏😊 Miss Ruby

I came across your channel by accident,I’m so glad I found you Oh my God how wonderful is that little cabinet ,you’re a very special lady people are so appreciative of what you do, love all the meals you prepared God bless from Australia 🇦🇺

Great meals! Thanks for sharing this video. I never knew that you could freeze rice. I'm gonna make extra next time.

Your son-in-law doesn’t like chicken pot pie? What’s wrong with him? Chicken pot pie is as American as apple pie. You are a good Mom. Lucky daughter. Love these recipes. I can’t wait to make them. Thank you for your continuously cranking out such good things for us.

Thank you Mrs. Lori for those great meal recipe stretchers. Yummy 👌😋

That miniature cabinet is absolutely adorable! It looks exactly like your big cabinet! Beautiful work! I used to collect miniatures when I was little, I still have them as I hope to have a dollhouse someday!

How sweet is that mini cupboard. Bless her heart. Good meal preps. I have done that many times. I’m old lol.❤️

Oh Miss Lori I meal prep every Sunday and I always dread it because I make it so hard on myself. This is so stinking easy, I love it! Thank you so much for all your work! I love watching you! ❤

Mrs. Lori-thank you for all the wonderful ideas! I get Atleast 1 but often 2-4 10lb bag of legs quarters or whole cut up chicken and sometimes a hen in my weekly food CoOp-a friend in the CoOp usually gives me hers too Cather family doesn’t like dark meat🤷‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ If I’ll up two big roasters at a time-sometime Sometimes I even add on a couple big crockpots to get it cooked up-deboned-can it up-make bone broth can it up-I have to give a lot to a friend too cause I can only do so much-freezers are full🤪we are all set for lots of yummy winter casseroles and soups/stews & pot pies-Here’s🥃 to taking it a little easier after a long summer garden & canning season!

I love your work and freezing the rice will be one of my new go two's, Thanks!

So sweet what a precious customer that is great!!

Hi Miss Lori and Mr. Brown. I sure hope this message finds you well. Miss Lori I love the meal prep. We like chicken pot pie as well but what really got my attention was the chicken casserole. Both would be great to send with my husband because he is a long haul truck driver and if I can meal prep something like these it would sure save a bit on the grocery bill. One more thing is I can't stress enough how wonderful you and your husband are. God bless you and Mr. Brown.

Thank you Miss Lori for these recipes. I am saying duh to myself for not putting the pie crusts in the FREEZER. I can't tell you how many I have wasted for leaving in the fridge too long. That little chest is amazing. What talent that lady has. Mrs.Steve

I just love what you share of your cooking and talking us through it with your sweet and peaceful sounding voice. I enjoy the time spent as with cooking with a good friend. Love the tips and ideas. That cupboard is so cute and such a sweet gesture, what a thing to be cherished. Thanks for sharing!

That mexican casserole looks wonderful! I'm definitely going to try that

If its who I'm thinking about, I follow her. She is a great miniaturist. Beautiful work

WOW the copy cabinet is amazing. That’s great craftsmanship. I’ve been looking for rice dinners so thank you! ✌️🌻

Good enough for Family Reunions. Or a gift for a nurse in the hospital! They are busy busy.

Awesome Miss Lori . Love these types of frugal recipes . It’s just me and my husband . We would have a feast . Greetings from Melbourne Australia. Love the dolls cupboard . What a thoughtful clever subscriber too.

That little cabinet is so awesome, such talent. Thanks for sharing, God bless

Wow! Fantastic-Thank you! Do you ever take the carcass and skin, place it in a crock pot, with all those old onion skins, potato peels, carrot peels etc., fresh water, granulated garlic, poultry seasoning and cooked 12 hours. Makes even more broth. You’re the best!❤

👍 Thank you Ms Lori 🤗. You have indeed helped me. Doing this is going to help me a lot. Instead putting whole chicken into the big freezer I can cook ahead, shred them, then put them in large freezer bags. Plus make different pot pies and dinners. It's going to help me a lot. I feel like the lunchroom lady every day, 😁. Call me a idiot, but I never thought of freezing rice. I do cook bread and freeze bread, rolls and cornbread. I still rather make fresh biscuits. I'm getting better. With school starting soon Since the pandemic, we home school our children. I just can't do it all. So a big thank you.🤗🥰. During the fall there will be lots of stews, soups, casseroles. Having to cook for 20 people everyday is not easy. We do have help on our Homestead. I still have a lot to do. Love to you and Mr Brown.🥰🤗. God Bless. Love,Respect and Positivity Always Neita, Ace and Family. ✌💕🕯🙏🦋🌻🤗🙂👋👣.

Ms. Lori, those meals look so good and, easy to make I can't wait to do them! Saw Mr. Brown running around the cabin in his bear feet, lol. The little Cabinet is awesome, what a nice thing for someone to do for you, I just love it and, you and Mr. Brown too! God bless you ya'll!

I love pot pie and about anything chicken. Great video and that mini cabinet is just adorable! God bless!

Thank you so much for this great idea. I find that too many times I' end up throwing food away because it goes bad. I love this idea...it's a great way to make several dinners, easy to cook and no more wasting food. Love this idea💕💕💕😊😊

Hello Miss Lori! Love watching you and Mr Brown you both are truly a Joy to see My Daughter and I have enjoyed making many of your recipes! Sending lots of Blessings and love your way from over here in Oklahoma

Great video Miss Lori, I was so hungry afterwards. Great tips on stretching out ingredients to make several meals ahead of time. I loved the miniature cabinet at the end as it bought back a nice memory of a doll house I had growing up that was hand made as well as the furniture. Those were the best gifts 🥰

You cook just like I do. I'll eat at your place anytime. Good Job! I always save my tin pans and reuse them. Did I miss the onions? OMG you gotta have onions girl! That's the only thing I would change. I love how you always tell people they can add whatever they want to. I'm sure it will taste good either way. That's how you stretch your protein.

Love your videos! Thank you for making them so relaxing to watch
