How I Freeze my Yellow Squash and Zucchini/ Old Fashion Salt Pickles 

I don’t make a lot of comments on videos, but, I just want to say that ,even if I don’t know you, I am just so happy for your retirement. I can tell it is going to open up so many different avenues for you and your husband to enjoy and ones that you have both worked so hard to achieve. May you both be blessed with many wonderful years!

i'm 72 years old and i want to be you when i grow up.......THANK YOU for sharing. God's Blessings.

Miss Lori you have got to be the hardest working lady in the world!! GOD BLESS YOU and MR.BROWN!!

My friend and I garden together and then we can everything up together. We split the cost, the work, and the end products. We plan out what we are planting each year based upon what we plan to can. Last year we canned up a bunch of pasta sauce and green beans, so this year we didn't plant green beans and planted different tomatoes to do salsa, diced tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, and tomato sauce. We planted peas in place of green beans this year. It took a bit to figure out what and when to plant what, but we plant the herbs and everything we need for the recipes.

I love your retirement!Call me selfish, but it means more Ms. Lori!

Thank you so much Mrs. Lori . For sharing how you . Freeze your squash . And separate out your graded squash . Sharing your salted pickles recipe . Glad you're spending time with the grandbaby . The Lord bless all of you .💕 💞💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕

I haven’t “put up “ squash for YEARS but I think I’ll do some this year. My 99 year old Mom died, end of February so I’ve been in a bad way emotionally. Thank you, Miss Lori & Mr. Brown. Enjoy your retirement Summer ❤️❤️

I have had SO many conversations lately with ladies who want to start canning and preserving food. I send them here, suggest they start with waterbath...pickles or jam and/or jelly....but most importantly JUST GET STARTED... the rest will come! 😊 P.S. Send me some of that precip! 🌧

So glad you retired we will get to see you more … love you two

I love the idea about freezing the squash slices and frying them straight from frozen. I really want to try that!

My favorites you forgot. Grate a zucchini into shreds. Add egg, small dices onion and seasonings. Roll together with crab, shrimp, or fish bits. Shape into round patties and dip in light flour. Fry up medium high heat. Drain on paper towels. To die for!

Miss Lori and Mr. Brown are true blue RU-vid go-to. Always reliable for information and encouragement. May their gardens be abundant and the fish be big enough to keep. 🌱🎣

Thank you so Much Ms.Lori. You are such a blessing, and you're kind heart just shines.

I’m 73 years old and have enjoyed my retirement so much. I love to can and freeze and bake and enjoy watching you do the same. I have wanted chickens for years and my husband built me the cutest chicken house last year and I have 7 chickens that keep us and family well supplied with eggs. We have seven beautiful grandchildren that we love spending time with and live in northeast central Arkansas and we fish and camp and my husband hunts and keep us stocked on wild game. Thanks for spending the time to visit and teach me some things I didn’t know! Happy Retirement!

Hi Miss Lori. I just wanted to share with you two other ways that I discovered to use my zucchini and yellow squash: 1) when too large for most things, I peel, de-seed, and cube it and use it in my salsa recipes (it takes on the flavor of the salsa perfectly and stretches the batches and no one knows unless you tell them!); and 2) when seedy but still tender, I chunk it up and add it to my leftover tomato juice when I’m canning tomatoes. This works great because it uses the juice for a nice soup base, and with some Italian seasoning, can be added to spaghetti or stir fry dishes or just about anything else. Btw, happy retirement! 🎉

Don't stress about not getting back to us, I'm not going anywhere!! Remember you are retired now so lessen the stress of commitment!! Relax and enjoy your life and your channel Family, cuz we enjoy you two!! Melaney from SoCal

Ms Lori, I will soon be 80 years old so I have been around a while. When I was a little girl, my Granny made Grape Leaf Pickles. She made them in a crock. She used whole cucumbers and added grape leaves and green grapes that she would squeeze till they popped. She didn't use pickling spice or dill, just salt. She used a good bit of salt. She would put a saucer on top of the cucumbers and a rock that she had to hold everything down. Back then there was no such thing as weights. You would get a nice rock, wash it up and use it. Those were the best pickles I ever had. I just wonder if you have ever heard of that kind of pickles.

Your channel was incredibly instrumental in helping me navigate through the pandemic, which immediately followed my retirement. My new hobby is gardening and preserving food. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Isn't amazing how fast a zucchini can grow? Your chicks will love those seeds.

Just harvested yellow squash this morning, harvested zucchini yesterday. God Bless ya'll...

I loved this video! Lots of good ideas…now I know not to THAW my squash before cooking! …by the way Ms. Lori, you look so rested and content since your retirement. Very, very happy for you. 👍🏻🙂

I learn something every time I visit your kitchen to grow in this homesteading journey. And I sure hope your rain makes it to Southern Indiana! Blessings to you and Mr Brown.

I love yellow squash, topped with old fashioned tomato gravy ❤

Thank you so much for teaching us how to freeze squash & zucchini!!

I remember as a kid cutting head after head of cabbage when my mom made sauerkraut in a 5 or 10 gallon crock I don’t remember all I remember is my arm hurting lol

I cut up my squash like I fry it.. Then vacuum seal. I love my Food Saver.

I always learn so much from you. Even if I knew everything that you taught us, I would still watch it over and over because your calming demeanor makes me very happy. We love you!

I didn't realize you could freeze breaded squash, thank you so much 😊 gonna try the salt pickles too. May God keep blessing y'all ❤ you're good people

I love the way you froze the zucchini so simple and the squash and zucchini looks great for stir fry Thanks Miss Lori for sharing!!

What a NICE Crock!!!!!! ✨

I love that idea to shred and freeze the zucchini portions. Lots of zucchini bread for fall, hee hee. I just made pan seared squash for supper. Yumm. Just a little olive oil, salt and pepper. 😊 Glad you have plenty of time for grandkids now. So sweet. Have a blessed week! 🏵️🌅💖

Thanks so much for the breaded squash tip! I can't wait to try it!

Awesome video! Love squash and zucchini!

Thanks for sharing. GOD BLESS YOU 🙏

Yes. Please make a video on freezing okra. Thank you. I love your videos.

Wow! You have a kitchen factory!

Thank you for a new idea for frozen squash. I will have to try frying some squash. ❤

Thank you for educating us❣️

Thanks a lot for this knowledge ❤

Hello Mrs. Lori. I always learn something from your videos. Thank you for your videos.

I really enjoy your videos on squash freezing 😊

Thanks for your squash freezing technique

Thanks for the tips on squash ❤!

AAA+ good food for the freezer and eats! 🥰🌹✅

I love your channel Miss Lori ❤

Thank you for sharing🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🫂❤️

Great suggestions on how to freeze squash and zucchini.

tips for using all my squash and zucchini are always helpfull, thank you

Thank you. I always learn from you. Retirement looks good on you. Love watching you

Yellow squash is my favorite, steamed and then butter, salt and pepper! YUM

Love yellow squash.

I love your fried squash. i'm waiting for my yellow squash to come on.

So thankful for the squash info…you’re so helpful Miss Lori!

Like the zucchini pucks! I peel, cut out the seeds, and cube zucchini in gallons bags and freeze. I thaw and whirl in the blender. Ends up the same consistency as pasta sauce. We use as a second sauce for lasagna. It is different but in a good way!!! I will try blanching this year.

Well i enjoyed watching this video. We are so far behind in everything this summer. Here it is the middle of June and my son and i just got our tomatoes planted. Hope to get the peppers in tomorrow. And maybe some beans. We've been busy trying to get our front porch scraped and painted. Finally got primer and paint on the railing and floor. Just have te steps and skirting to finish. Then tvhis late afternoon the dump truck full of gravel we ordered to put between our 2 sheds arived. We worked for a couple of hours shoveling before a thunderstorm rolled in. Did i mention I'm 71, son is 25. Both have shoulders that are messed up 😊. His left and my right. My husband 81 isn't able to do a lot. Oh. Well. GOD is good. He gives us the strength to carry on. Praise His Holy Name

Clean as you go.....no mess cooking...

I vacuum seal and I have had vacuum sealed corn and it has been good after 2 years. I love my vacuum sealer.

Thank you for sharing your recipe and methods of freezing. Love your channel Miss Lori and Mr. Brown. Enjoy the retirement freedom to go and do some visiting and a bit of travel. Bless you both

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your channel!

Thank you Miss Lori. Watching you seems like i'm sitting in the kitchen with you. You always teach and share in a non-intimidating way, that makes it seem so much easier. GOD bless

Anything I can freeze in a puck-- garlic, ginger, zucchini, etc. I LOVE! Yellow squash is one of my favorite veggies, and I'm going to freeze some to fry...I'm glad you mentioned you done it before without a sealer because I don't have one 😂 I'm glad we got to visit--tell Mr. Brown hello. God bless and I love yall!

Lori, I so enjoy your videos. So down to earth and sharing great information. I'm going to try your recipe for fried squash. I don't garden, when we retired we downsized to a mobile home park. It's a beautiful area, but can't do much as for gardening. I do have a small herb garden in pots. I've got you by about 10 years. Still cook and clean by myself. I'm a scratch cook, and always clean up as I go. I love my vacuum packer. I do many veggies when on sale. Plus, I still seem to cook for family, so do freezer meals in the packer too. Blessings to you both. ❤

Just wanted to pop on and say a warm & sunny ALOHA! 🤙 I share your videos with my 98 y/o Gram, and we talk about how great your kitchen, pantry, and garden are and how delicious your food looks. She even smiles when Mr. Brown joins in. 😀

Hi Mrs Lori. I Love your cooking techniques. You just make our day with what you do. Your star patern Colander is the one we have that I grew up with. It was my Mom's. She has been with the Lord Christ Jesus for 20 years now. I am 65 and my wife and I have been married for 42 years. She and my Mom were Best Friends. And she learned how to cook from her. Let me tell you how happy and Bless I am. Thank you for what you do. We love you with the Love of our Lord ❤️🙏

We love you too! You do feel like family. Thank you for making your videos.

Your vacuum sealer sounds like a space ship that's going to take off😂😂😂!! I absolutely love this channel!!! Please share on how you do your okra. God bless you and your family!!! I love you guys so much!!!! Please tell Mr. Brown that he needs to share some more of his trips and knowledge!!! You both teach me so much!!🌈🌈🌈😍🕊😃😃💕💕💕😘😘😘🙏💐💐💐💐😍😍😍🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔

Congratulations on your retirement! I enjoyed seeing your mother-in-laws photo at your retirement party.

We make lime pickles -- love them!

I'm looking at your yellow squash and longing for a treat my sister brought to me during a visit last month. She's in south Louisiana and I'm up in northwest Missouri. She sweet-pickled yellow squash, with thin-sliced onion and jalapenos. You talk about GOOD! I wish I had another jar to enjoy. We had them alongside hotdogs a couple times. I topped my chicken salad sandwich with some, and then added what was left to a pasta salad to kick it up a little. We grew up eating pickled mirliton (chayote / vegetable pear), but I'd never had pickled yellow squash. Try it sometime! Really enjoy this video. Happy Retirement!!!

We are squash crazy in our house. Mostly the usual like butternut which I cannot seem to make enough of according to our boys. Zukes, crookneck & there are some new ones (Pennsylvania Dutch Pumpkin & Canadian Crookneck) I plan to try at some point. You both take care.

Thank.ypu

Love your kitchen and thanks for all the ways to preserve food. Stay Blessed y'all 😊

This is a terrific video! I love your honesty Ms. Lori about whether you like some things canned and some things you don’t like canned. It’s refreshing to hear that because I was thinking I was the only one or was too picky! 😂 can’t wait to see another garden tour! I love seeing your garden growing! God bless. ❤️🥰🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁

Thank you for all of the wonderful hints . Love love love your videos 💕💕

Happy retirement Lori Lass!!!!👵🏻🙏

Enjoyed the video. Definitely putting up food.

Love freezer

Love fried yellow squash! Mom fixed it when I was a kid! Fresh out of the garden! Nothin better!❤ Blessings!❤

Thank you for the wonderful ideas you presented here.

My grandmother always reused her bread bags, cool whip containers, you name it. She was incredibly frugal and resourceful. I just brought in a whole basket of squash from the garden this morning. I think freezing it up for frying is just what I'll do today. Oh, and if you happen to head to Western Arkansas on your travels this summer, I would love to meet y'all!

💕 visiting with you.

I’m finally here on your live video🎉😂. I always watch the recorded videos. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you for sharing those recipes 🤗

Love watching all your videos. Have a wonderful day.

Wow, learning something new again. My zucchini I would just cut in slices and put in a zip lock bag and freeze. Love the idea with freezing the yellow squash for frying. God bless you and Danny, hope you are enjoying your retirement. Much Love

Praising God for the goodness of you and Mr. Brown. You too are the most beautiful souls! May God continue to bless and heal you both all the time. We all would be so lost without your presence in our lives, to teach us and help us have a source we can trust and rely on. I also love just the chatting videos and thank you so much for such personal sharing.

Thank you for sharing your experience

Thanks for your help.

I love both of these ideas and I can't wait to freeze like you did. Thank you so much to both of you. May God Bless You.
