Mennonite Make-ahead Pumpkin Pie, make it now and Put it in the freezer!

[@janicew6222]

Being a mother, wife, homemaker is the most important career of all, in my opinion. It is a shame we have lost sight of this in America and our children have paid the price. You do a wonderful job!!

[@JRHM333]

Social engineering. David Rockefeller told Aaron Russo that the reason why women went into the work force was because of women’s liberation. They wanted to increase the tax base and get women away from their families in order to be more dependent on government.

[@macycharmin]

You aren't kidding, that's an understatement. My mother was at home raising us until I was in 7th grade then she had to go to work, and our father was at home. When mom was at home our father was still hands on; never alluding to that "was her job". Mom had told us when we were much older that some of the neighborhood moms told her they wished their husbands were like what they saw of our dad. I wouldn't trade for how we were raised for the world.

[@carolswiedomstephens]

Amen!

[@dorothyyoung8231]

“They don’t have careers or jobs …” Ruthann, you crack me up! Your career is the most important, dedicated, strenuous, time-consuming one of all! Love your videos!

[@AprilGowins-g7h]

Amen

[@fiona3092]

So true

[@dorothydavebritton3961]

Lol, I thought the same thing. So thankful my wife could be a stay at home Mom, and that's a big job 😉

[@Tess-he3qg]

You make me tired just watching your day. I got to stay home with my children then worked as a real estate broker so I could take care of my three grandchildren while their parents work.

[@sarahcontento9516]

I concur

[@deda9338]

A friend of mine years ago would go to her husbands office party abd get asked what she did(meaning her job/career). She would be looked down on by the Career Women for saying a Stay at home mom. I told her to say, she was the CEO of (Family's Last Name) Foundation. Accountant of the Finances etc...because a Stay at home mom, wears so many hats and responsible for running the household. A Stay at home mom job/career is her Family and not to be looked down upon!

[@LadyMcGinnis]

Unfortunately with today's modern women stay at home moms are still looked at this way and perhaps in a slightly more negative way. I get told constantly that I'm too young and it's not too late to get a job (go to school)in case my husband leaves me. Nothing that I'm worried about but it amazes me what a sad world we live in.

[@tecora7419]

It’s because a job is where a lot of women hold their value and are taught the working at home is not prosperous…some I’m sure are jealous because deep down they wish they could stay home.

[@cassandras1688]

Men have used money as a valuation of worth and SAHM have been for decades seen as of little value. Women are the only ones who will say something. Many women weren’t worried about being left but were left with nothing leading to the “modern” woman. And let’s not forget many SAHM look down on working women saying they’re not good mothers. Would be nice if all women just supported each other.

[@susancbaxter8575]

Oh yes. It was hard but I don’t regret!

[@crazygrams6683]

I always said I was a domestic engineer lol I was looked down on, but I don't regret one minute of it, kids are grown, youngest just left the nest. I now get to enjoy grandkids, sewing/crafting, food prep etc...my kids thank my husband and I, 32yrs together now, for their upbringing. 90% of their friends were in broken homes. Sad!

[@teriadams7398]

I would have loved to be a stay at home mom. My ex wouldn't work, I was forced to work a couple jobs and raise my boys by myself. I could only afford one family vacation for them, and one school trip each. They didn't have all the stuff kids have now game boxes, phones, nor a car. However they are 30 something now and the best young men. Most of their friends were spoiled had everything, but don't spend time with their parents. I'm very blessed mine do. They call me almost daily, their wives are amazing young women. I guess I did okay even though I didn't get the joy of being a stay at home mom. I envy you all.😊

[@frugalitystartsathome4889]

I agree, would have loved to be a SAHM but life dictated otherwise. My happiest years were the ones I had during my career break. One income only, and for part of that time my husband was unemployed so money was very tight. But I had the time available to make every penny count in the kitchen so we still ate well despite our reduced income. I do think that having more monkey leads you to spend more, even if just on convenience foods. When I got home from work the last thing I wanted was to start cooking meals from scratch, and my weekends were taken up with cleaning, shopping, being with the kids, rather than meal prep for the week ahead (not that it was “ a thing” then.) Now an empty nester (still working) but I love it when the kids and grandkids come around to be fed, and I’m fortunate in that they choose to do so. I somewhat regret my years as an outside rather than SAH worker, but it is what it is - when I retire and get my pension I’ll no doubt be glad I did it,so it’s all swings and roundabouts.

[@riverduck3]

Happy Lord's Day. Ruthann, I hope that you realize just how much we all appreciate you!!!

[@helgardhossain9038]

Dear Ruth-Ann, you are brilliant. You really encourage me to cook - I am absolutely mad about canning and everything thanks to you ☺️ Love from Germany, Helgard

[@carolledd2001]

You know what makes a good fun cooking show on food network or PBS is the stories that they talk about while cooking or baking but we get so much more with Homesteading with the Zimmerman channel and that's a blessing for all of us that's watching Ruthann 😊

[@Ruthannzimm]

Well thank you!!! This is high praise.

[@DonnaBMacK]

Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom. Kendrick’s comment about being able to find you in the kitchen brought a tear to my eye. So touching. Your joy is contagious. Looking forward to next week! Did not know you could freeze potatoes successfully!

[@cindynance7289]

Hey from Ohio! Ruthann, you are a hero to all of us women that chose your career… Many, many years ago, I wanted nothing more than to have a big family, sew, cook, preserve…we farmed, so I too loved the fresh air of country living…My dream never came true… for children in my life never happened, but I picked myself up by my bootstraps and made a life that was similar to yours except I mothered the elderly and just about everyone I came in touch with… You are such a special nurturer and I so enjoy watching you and your family and living vicariously through you and yours! Thank you for sharing with all of us! 🤗🙏🏻😇

[@kathycooper3594]

I had no idea you could freeze your premade dry ingredients. You always provide great information.

[@mayra_m767]

I have a masters, I was headed somewhere in my chosen field..i was overworked, overly stressed, spread thin, and i couldnt be there for my family the way i wanted. I am now a stay at home mom and couldn't be more fulfilled! I do so many other things and have developed so many skills since I been home with My girls. Our little one is high medical needs and I'm also her 24/7 nurse but God uses these situations for his Glory and not only are we closer to God, we now homeschool, I get to have coffee time with my teen here and there, our lives aren't rush, I'm learning gardening, mill my flour, make our bread, kefir and sourdough are now a part of our diet, we have gained so much from me being home with my girls. Praise God!

[@karenfleming1500]

I remember my parents hugged and waltzed in the kitchen when I was growing up!!! Precious memories

[@sugartopfarmllc]

I remember making apple pies with my great grandma. Now when I bake a sweet treat my son tells me he can taste my secret ingredient: love! ❤

[@conniesmith3544]

So precious!!

[@Junkinsally]

There is no more honorable “career” than homemaker!

[@latauarobison6521]

My mom always took cutoff pie crust put on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and bake. We would get that as a treat while the pie baked. It was the best treat. I Like cinnamon toast.

[@MacMeadowsFarm]

We call those "pie crust cookies," and whomever helps mom make the pies gets the first cookie. 😊

[@LadyMcGinnis]

Lol the kitchen comment! Thats awesome and also the first place my kids come in the mornings to find me. Not my room.

[@fiona3092]

Me too 🤣

[@terrifox5073]

Your joy is contagious! I so enjoy seeing your video’s each Saturday morning. Thank you for sharing your time and experience.

[@melodyreddecopp5591]

I appreciate older women like you who teach us younger women how to properly run a household and serve good, wholesome food to our families! I’ve always loved to bake pie, but I’m learning so much from you how to make one that is top notch. Not to mention all the other tips I’m learning from you. Thank you!

[@bethford2334]

Good morning! This reminds me of my Grandma, who was the best pie maker ever. She always had Sunday dinner and although her house was very full, there was always enough room for all to come and eat. She had a chest freezer in her dining room and it would be covered with pies. Such a fond memory. You look like a great pie baker, also. Thanks for sharing your recipes - I think it will be so convenient to have the premixed ingredients waiting in the freezer. Have a good week!

[@sharonhuelsman]

Thank you Ruthanne! I love your cooking tutorials but mostly I love seeing how you love and serve your family with joy. I see the love that your husband and children give back to you and it is beautiful.

[@maliaw8392]

I have been a mom of our 2 girls for almost 20 years now. I am from rural southeast Iowa and grew up growing, canning, freezing, and sharing what bounty we could not use. I have had a career since I met and married my husband of 21 years as a nurse but have always sought out ways to save money and make the most of the least. I take pride in knowing I have taught our girls the power of being self reliable. They have had a job of some sort that made them money to save since they were 14. And they know how to cook, shop, save, clean and be frugal and humble and thankful. Very simple life lessons that seem to be a necessity now.

[@oldnanz]

Thanks for the time to freeze for thanksgiving

[@reginaashley1582]

Good morning Ruth Ann. I so look forward to your videos. I wish they had been around when I was raising my family many years ago.

[@Ruthannzimm]

Good morning! Thanks for these kind words!!

[@barnrazedbyjesse6893]

I too roll out pie on my kitchen table opposed to my countertop because I am vertically challenged. When you have a good pie crust you just need that extra leverage to get it rolled out. I received butcher block countertops for Christmas. After they are installed, if I have any extra I will use it for a kitchen table dough rolling station.

[@ht6684]

Good morning from central WI, I've been missing your videos glad to have one to wake up to and pumpkin pie is my favorite pie!

[@vjohnson2400]

RuthAnn you are one of the most hard working Mom’s I’ve come across, you are the glue that holds your family together, the value to your family and the next generation of young family members is invaluable and never to be underestimated. I’m in my mid-60’s and was brought up in a traditional household for the time and have gathered many cooking, baking, sewing, growing and home-making skills over the years and I’m still learning (I had a full on successful career too). Love your videos.

[@barbarapahl3245]

Good Morning! I will be making my pie & freeze. I will be so busy coming up!

[@roxannaboykin1935]

My late husband grew up in PA Amish country and loved the food. When we'd go back for visits the Amish market/auctions were a must. I think this is what I love about your channel. You show grace and charm in the old ways. Nothing fancy or new fangled. Especially with yor canning.

[@elizabethtunstall]

I wished I had your energy my house is definitely not spotless but I do enjoy cooking. No I’m not a career person I’m home most of the time when we are not taking care of family. We are both disabled our children are grown and we have 6 grandchildren. I help take care of them aunt, uncle, mom, mother in law, nephew and anyone else who needs us. Everyone always says you don’t work you have the time we make the time and other parts lack our full attention. You are an amazing mom, wife, and daughter. You wear so many hats and you always seem to make it work. I applaud you for all that you’re able to accomplish in a single day

[@silver_threads]

Well, now I have another pumpkin pie recipe to try! Love your tips on freezing. On a completely different subject...I was watching your cleaning your floors, and I was wondering if you have a mop recommendation. I need to get a new one. We have tile, hardwood, and a wood laminate. Can you help me make a decision? Thanks so much! I truly look forward to your weekly videos and appreciate your dedication and sweet spirit. Blessings, Marie

[@ashleyh7399]

I'm here for her response❤

[@paulapascucci4816]

Glad i came across this. Have the broth, onions, celery and sage canned to just warm and add to the bread the morning of to bake. Broth canned to make gravy. Sweet potatoes canned putting in crock pot to warm up, potatoes for mashed canned to finish by warming and adding butter and milk them putting in hot crock pot to keep warm. Now I'm doing the pies!! Doing turkey in fryer the day before and putting in roaster in am to warm up. I travel 34 miles to my dad's to feed 15-17. Thank you. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving !!

[@Joe-ew5rt]

My youngest sister was always very careful to point out that she didn't work "outside the home" because running a home is certainly work and a lot of it. The pies look lovely & I'll certainly try freezing the crust mix. It will make Thanksgiving so much easier. I always use shortening as I've never cared for lard

I use disposable pans too. However, sometimes I find a great deal on pans at our local thrift store, and this makes a nice gift for the recipients. I do this with casserole dishes too. I just tell them to bless someone else if they don't need the dish. So far it's worked out very well 😊.

[@fiona3092]

Hi RuthAnn and sweet family! I always made pies and certain dishes ahead of time since most if the time I was cooking for 12 people. It’s the only way I stayed sane on the get togethers like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Your pie looks delicious. I love the smell of nutmeg, it reminds me of all the good memories of the holiday get togethers. I hope you and your family have a blessed weekend!

Hi, have you ever tried putting non-flavored gelatin in the whipping cream? I learned this trick a couple of years ago. The whipping cream stays whipping fluffy for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. I'm not sure if you make your own gelatin on the farm, but I hear you can. God bless you and your family and stay safe, from your Iowa neighbor.

[@rogergreener9457]

I have always liked making pies myself. Since I ve gotten older. I tend to make more savory pies. I miss when our family was all together. Thanksgiving was always my favorite holiday with all the prep the day before. When I was young, my jobs were to wash down the cupboards and tear the bread for stuffing. Holidays changed when mom passed away. That was over 20 years ago. Since then we lost dad and my oldest sister. I have one sister left in Indiana but I moved West to California

[@galeharris6696]

As much as you love to make pies, I love to watch you make pies, because it reminds me of watching my step-mom make pies and learning how to make my first pies with her. She handled the dough a lot like you do, with great confidence, and I just love that! Thank you, RuthAnn, I feel very close to my wonderful step-mom, though she has been gone for many years.

[@bonsaibaby8257]

Love hearing this! Being a stepmom is hard and she sounds like a great one!! My step daughter is grown and has her own home now. She still calls me all the time asking how to make something and to remember how much of an ingredient is needed. For the amount of times she has called me asking the same thing makes me think she uses it as a excuse to call me!😂 I wouldn’t have it any other way though. I was blessed to have a daughter like her who always treated me like her mommy and not “just a stepmom.” She just turned 6 when I first met her and after a couple of months she asked me if she could call me mom. I said sure, you can call me whatever feels comfortable to you. She said thanks mommy and at the moment she had my whole heart.❤ 🥹 Time goes by way to fast.

[@galeharris6696]

She was wonderful indeed. A single lady who took on my wild and wooly family, moved up to cold Vermont from Connecticut, and taught me all sorts of home-running information. Also, just a smart and funny lady!

[@urbanhomesteadingchannel1813]

I regret that I was not the mother that my children should have had. I was raised by a single mother who had to work to provide for us. So her mindset was just to do it herself and hurry to get it done. My husband had to teach me the basics even how to do laundry. I'm afraid I taught my children the same way. Yes I was hands on taking them to their extra curricular activities and never missed a concert but I was too harried to take the time to teach them basic household things like laundry, cooking and even how to manage finances. It was just easier to do it myself. Since 2019 when we started adopting our homesteading lifestyle I've been teaching my 37 yr old daughter more about these things. She's married and already knows the basics but she's letting me teach her home bread baking and other things. I'm always getting a call with a Mom help! And I talk her through the process. She is now teaching her young children the same things. It's never too late to teach. Thank you, Ruth Ann for teaching this old dog new things 💚. Btw we have a legal homestead claim now and raise our own beef, chicken, goat and quail. I usually have a decent size garden but broke my shoulder last spring and the garden was an epic fail. But we already have this year's planned and will be starting my seeds in a couple of weeks!! Not 100% self reliant but I'm thankful that God has given us this opportunity at this time of our life 💚

Hi, Ruth Ann 😊, I reside in Juniata County, PA, and we are surrounded by Amish and Mennonite. Not sure if there are Old Order Mennonites here, but there are conservative and more modern sects.

I was self-employed and a employer,which allowed me to have my schedule match theirs.
