[@terriebaker9803]

I’m 62 years old and I just wanted to let you know that you inspire me. Your videos are very educational, and have taught me a lot of things that I would’ve thought that I would’ve known by this age. Thank you.

here here..I look forward to more videos from this beautiful family to learn more.

[@vickimoore7646]

Way to go Ruth Ann! I'm 80 years old and I learn something new from you on every video. Most important is not to be afraid to try things.

[@judyseekford9656]

Only been a subscriber a few weeks. Have really enjoyed your videos and your very helpful children! Would love to win anything!

I am learning too from them and I am 82. Never too old to learn.❤

Me too; just a tiny bit behind you in age but love to learn new old things or is it old new things. 😂

[@eleanordutton3430]

Congratulations on your first sponsor Ruthann. I’ve been a long time lurker on your channel and this seems like a good opportunity to say: I often feel broken and lost in this world. Or maybe society feels that way and I just feel isolated and a bit like a relic? Either way, your channel offers me immeasurable comfort. It shows me that what my soul is craving is not only normal, but attainable and abundant. Living in the city has felt like more and more of a prison and a poison lately. Lastly… If you were the example of Christianity I saw as a young woman, I don’t think I would have left the Church. This channel made me thank God for the first time in a long time. Keep it up. You’re reaching city folk in desperate need. Thank you.

[@suseyq4559]

I’ve watched you for quite a while Ruthann. I am 70 and your meals today were right on point with what I was taught and then made for my family. Thank you so much for being the kind, great hearted woman you are. Congratulations on your first sponsor, it’s a great company.

[@alaskangypsy]

I am so excited about not only the giveaway, but also that you have a sponsor! I'm so upset at the heat you've been getting for expressing your faith, so seeing a company like this support you just feels like a wonderful "equalizer." You're an amazing person and I appreciate you sharing your life the way you do! May God continue to bless you.🙏🙌🇺🇲

[@deborahcrowley6352]

Congratulations on your first sponsor! So thankful for what you share and the labor of love you invest in your family and in YT. So many of us look to you for accurate and useful information to turn back to our own families. What a blessing you are!

[@hollywoodbethke4033]

My wife love watching you on this channel. She has learned so much from you and others like you. Keep up the good work in all you do.

I have several pieces of my Mother's cast iron that I use every day. Remembering all the meals she made in these 3 cast iron pots and my happy times as a child is like having Mom here with me❤

[@lavernebufmack5091]

So very happy that this company is at last recognising what a treasure you are. You promote more than just their pan! Love your channel so much!! You embody the best qualities of anyone on KZbin. Don’t think this is the pan for us anymore ( I’m 82 and my husband is 87) it is too heavy and big for us, but it will make a wonderful gift for our grandchildren. Thank you, Ruth Ann Zimmerman for bringing such joy to this old heart!

[@sashaarr7122]

I just found your channel recently and I so love watching you cook for your beautiful family. It reminds me of watching my mom cook when I was growing up. 6 kids and 2 large gardens. I thought that we had it hard growing up on the farm but looking back now I see just how blessed we were. God bless you and your family

[@katehouser3683]

I love watching how your family all work together and help each get the work done.

[@girlmeetshomestead]

I am so happy Carolina Cooker is your first sponsor! A company you’ve talked about for so long! So happy for you and about for the partnership. Nothing beats cooking on good cast iron! And nothing beats the community you’ve built either. We all trust your recommendations here. ♥️ Ruth Ann, this video was so encouraging as I am planning my second year garden. I love how you were able to share how much of your harvest/preservation you used vs the store bought items. I am not anywhere near this, but I am certainly striving for it. Thanks again for this. ♥️👏🏽

[@jeannenemmyers6580]

What a great example of how preserving your garden bounty can feed a family for a year. Loved this picture of your family's life.

[@seetie5479]

I look forward to Saturday mornings so much. Grabbing a cup of coffee and watching RuthAnn and her beautiful family is the best way to start the day!

[@beth.hogancvt]

We do the same! My mother in law and daughters love Ruthann's videos and often play them in the background whilst cleaning or baking etc

[@marylynnbehrens5562]

AMEN, me too! They bring joy to my heart!

[@Angelhugs1990]

I totally agree with all of you she is truly a wonderful Wife, and Mother and such a great person , and I believe a person with a big heart she is such a joy to watch and learn from.

[@kellymathis4724]

Congratulations Ruth Ann !!❣️ You are an inspiration to all of us; a beautiful, smart, creative, God-centered woman.

[@arleneshirk439]

Your excitement is really showing on your face Ruthann. I can tell you are so in awe of being able to give this pan to someone on your channel, all because you are such a kind women. I would have loved this pan when I lived in my parents home and had to cook for 15 siblings. I also would enjoy having it in my own home!!

[@MBroome1028]

Oh Ruth Ann! How exciting!!! My husband resurfaced all of my cast iron for me and followed your husband’s instructions! Made a huge difference! They were seasoned but this was a game changer! Nothing sticks….ever now! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge ❤ We watch all of your content and have learned so much! Plus, we absolutely love watching those little guys grow, play, and experience such a beautiful life! We love your family! God bless you all!! ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

[@feduptexan311]

Thanks for the feedback. I showed my hubby that video, so we are going to do my cast iron the same way……..cant wait

[@budmokie]

I love watching you make meals for your family and how you teach your children these valuable life skills are so inspiring. Eating real food with simple ingredients is so important for young growing children. So glad Carolina Cooker is sponsoring you. You deserve it!

[@bettypettigrew6471]

I am so proud of you getting your first sponsor from Carolina cookware! You are so blessed! One of the things I love so much about you is,your value for work and teaching that to your children. I hope people will learn from you in many ways, but especially about how you discipline your children. Many young people don’t have a clue on raising responsible, respectful adults!

[@barbaracrim3516]

I did not know that you had been getting heat for sharing your faith, but as scripture tells us, “think it not strange.” It is very much because you share your faith that I was so drawn to you and you have become my favorite homesteader. I was able to hear about half of your address at a homesteaders of America meeting. You may have been one of those who came kicking and screaming into public speaking, as you said, but you have a beautiful natural gift in it and I could listen to you for hours. The only reason I didn’t get to hear your whole talk is that I would have to subscribe to homesteaders of America. It would be worth the fee required to hear you speak more, but I am on a fixed income, so must forgo that treat.

[@abbeylongacre1096]

Thank you Carolina cooker for this opportunity and for supporting Ruthanne. She is a blessing and a wealth of helpful knowledge. This pan seems incredible and would be a life changer. Thank you both💖💖💖

[@shelbylynnwilliams8520]

Loved this video for many reasons. It brought back childhood memories of my grandparents farm & living off the land. They purchased very few things from the grocery store….coffee, tea bags, mustard, sugar. I enjoy seeing glimpses of your kids helping such as grating cheese, drying dishes, etc. I like your explanations of the meals.

[@deborahmckinney3414]

I cannot express how happy your videos make me...I live alone and you make me feel like I am right there cooking with you. I Eat mainly vegetables but I use to make the poor man steak for my husband...he loved meat...but since he passed I try to stick With vegetables...I totally admire how hard you work...keep up these precious videos...and oh how I love the animal videos...

[@patz2917]

I so look forward to sharing my Saturday morning with you. You cook like my mom taught me, coming from a Midwest farming family. Your meals make my mouth water! And cooking with cast iron is part of the magic. Congratulations on your first sponsor. No one deserves it more.

[@sherrydbrice597]

I've just recently started using my cast irons. I've always been afraid to mess them up. Watching you I've gained the confidence to finally start using mine and absolutely love them.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

About the only two things to not do, don’t soak it in a sink of water, they easily clean out with a stainless steel scratcher and water and avoid extreme temperature change, meaning don’t take a pan from the stove and set it outside in freezing temps to cool something…..other than that they are pretty indestructible ❤ Happy cooking !

[@sherrydbrice597]

Thank you for the advice. It's much appreciated.

Found your channel a couple weeks ago I watch it every chance I can. I watch it at least 3 times a day ,my husband even has sat down and joined me. I have enjoyed learning new things and recipes.

[@sherip1270]

I'm so glad that you cook by just dumping ingredients together. I cook just like you do. Dare I say, it is a sign of a good, experienced cook. I had six children and I know we have to get food on the table as quick as possible. Watching this may give more inexperienced cooks more confidence in their own cooking. I love watching your videos and hearing the children in the background or working with you. Just makes me feel like 'home'. Much love and blessings to you and your family.
