Good Morning!! That was a great video. Your doing wonderful. When I bring stuff like this up to people they look at me like I have a second head. They complain about it being to much work and takes up so much time. I counter that by telling them that in the course of the conversation if we were working together the job would be nearly done. I tell them that instead of sitting on our butts we could be doing stuff like this to fill time instead of being lazy. They just don't get it. So sad that we've parted from self sufficient living in such a short time. Then when some natural disaster hits they're all freaking out. I don't get it.
You know people the way I know people. I do so much canning, dehydrating, and freezing. Some people ask me,.........why would you make your own homemade noodles when you can buy them in a bag? They just don't get it do they?
I dehydrate everything I can. if a day goes by without something in it, I feel like I'm wasting my garden....lol. I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but I can't even find dehydrated 'soup' packets, in grocery stores anymore. It's soooooo nice to have all the stuff ready to go . Amazing buy on the onions! I am drying my egyptian walking onions into tasty onion powder, like crazy, ever since I saw a vid you made on it. Thank God there is a use for the tougher stalks!
Briar goes shopping with me often..mostly to help me with the groceries..but he also likes to shop WITH me because the choices can be overwhelming..so he just buys what's to hand that he knows he likes and can afford..but when we are together..he is able to ask my advice on price , nutrition and convenience! My Older son and his intended are VERY conscious consumers! I take pride in that!
Good grief! In what world am I missing out on that you can get 10 lbs. of onions for less than $2.00? Yikes! P.S. Went to Amazon yesterday and bought 2 of those neck fans. I thought they were funny but where I live it's hotter than you know where and will be humid for another month or so. I'm going to keep one charging and use the other one ALL DAY AND USE THE OTHER ALL NIGHT! Funniest, cleverest gadget ever! Thanks for the tip!
I've always just used a tall floor fan on a stand behind me over a shoulder to blow away the onion fumes. Helps to have a window at the far end open so others in the house don't tear up from the smell. I also have the same strainer you have, mine is a lime green. Really handy.
I found your channel abt 1.5 weeks ago, I have to tell you, I just adore you. You and Howie are such down to earth folks, and as much as I thought I knew, it was nothing in comparison to what I’ve learned from you. Thank you Mrs V. ❤️
Thank you for the teaching lesson. I got a dehydrator to save large amounts of vegetables that came to my family. We also received bags and bags of onions but I nearly got kicked out of home for trying to dehydrate a batch of them one time! I ended up blanching and freezing1/2 cup portions of sliced onions to save them.
I tried your trick and put a small fan on the cupboard blowing the onion smell away from me. First time ever that I didn't cry onion juice tears. Thank you for showing us this.
Thank you for sharing this again. I don't have an enclosed porch and wondered since my overhead fan has burned out, if I could dehydrate on the carport. Sometimes, it takes a week or so to get repairs done where I live. Luckily, I don't have to pay for these repairs in the Senior Village.
It make perfect I prepare a little backwards given I live in south Florida I prepare through our winter months so I don’t have to in the summer months if we get a hurricane.
The neck fan is awesome. The onions I'm getting lately seem extra juicy and potent. I can see how useful that would be. That beats having to stop chopping to blow my nose and wipe my eyes every minute!!!
thanks for sharing!! i'm dehydrating onions today myself,and preserving apples (dear hubby brought home 60 pounds yesterday !) we are in full winter prep mode here in ohio
Your hair looks fantastic! I love the home economy videos. I think it makes us all more aware of the money we’re spending and where we can improve on our budget. Thanks Bev, your the best!
@@OurHalfAcreHomestead BEV...what would be the price breakdowns of the energy used to run the large and small appliances in a task such as this or even when canning and supplies...cents?? Free if solar🤔
For that price on onions I would go back and get another 20lbs It's not like they will go bad and if your like me you use them all the time. Has Howie winterized the RV yet? Don't forget to put some mice traps out or something to kill them. One bad thing about winter is everything is trying to find a warm place. Looks like you are feeling a little better.
I admire you so much for doing all those onions..... a lot of work but well worth it. Home economics is a worthwhile subject to study and hard work reaps rewards. Well done to Mrs Volfie👏. I wonder if you know about a channel I used to love. 'Fouch Family', I used to watch them all the time and then they just vanished.... I'm just hoping nothing dreadful happened to them. They lived up in the mountains and were a lovely family.
I Remember Fouch Family...not sure where they went. A LOT of channels have not got the time or the energy to jump through the hoops that TH-cam Wants these days..I am just really lucky that I have been doing it long enough to have a solid routine. So some channels are forced to quit long before it becomes viable for them. I had 3 years of solid front end loaded work before I earned my first $100 On TH-cam and they have made me fight for every dime since. Like I said..not everyone can afford that regimen
You're the best I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I love onions anyway you can think of a specially onion stuffed with meatloaf mixture. Have a fabulous week
BEV, when i dehydrate veggies turn them into powders that way i can add to what ever im cooking, theyer my secret spices,,thak ya fer the video,,,,,p.s. im sure HOWIE loves ya no matter what yer hair looks like, we in youtube land sure do,,be safe an GOD bless yas
Oh you would love Bev's videos on powdered pumpkin and tomato. She makes pumpkin pies using the pumpkin powder and adds tomato powder to soups that thicken up pronto when she adds the powder in. Can you just imagine the intensified taste? Her pumpkin pies made with just a tad pumpkin powder is absolutely BRILLIANT! JUST BRILLIANT!
your onions in the bulk bag looked wonderful. I gave up a long time ago buying onions, potatoes, etc., in pre-set bulk bags because every time there would be 1-3 pieces that have gone bad and the ones around it are pretty iffy as well. I have to buy them loose and individual. I just had to smile on your beautiful onions out of the bag, and give a sigh of envy. God Bless
I love the home ec videos, granted I took home ec in school which just taught me how to make sweeties, I learned "how to" when I moved out on my own at 18
I am enjoying doing it..after so many years of raising our own meat..I have HAD to go back into being a conscious shopper! Plus we are just NOW starting to save for retirement!
Loved your video, I agree that dehydrating is best outside or on a porch. My mother used to dehydrate mushrooms in the laundry room as it smelled like dirty soxes
I'm definitely going to try blanching the onions first because it took forever to dehydrate my onions the last time! Great idea about the little fans too, suppose I can just put a little one on the counter blowing away from me. Thanks
Funny story.... I also just purchased a bag of onions on sale. My little family of 6 helped me peel, chop and bag them. I like to keep mine in gallon freezer bags as well as dehydrating. Anyhow, my 12 year old son (oldest) was crying from the onions and was cracking jokes anout how they must use onions to make tear gas 😂😂 it was HILARIOUS! My family appreciates everything I do after days like this! My 4 year old was peeling onions and barely affected. She thought it was really fun lol. Onions would be one of my 4 staples to grow as well. God bless!
No need to put them in ice water because we're not removing any skins Like Tomatoes, and we're not dislodging them like corn we're just opening the pores
Good morning Bev. I love seeing your videos. Gorgeous deliciousness home economics! I also put up a relish with a lot of onions. It's from an old cookbook; but it seems to work well. I use it whenever I don't have fresh onions. Good for roast, hot dogs, baked beans... and anything else where you wished you had a fresh onion handy. GOLD RELISH 12 large ripe cucumbers (yellow ones okay to use) 12 large white onions 12 large ribs of celery (very clean ones, no dirt ingrained) 1 or 2 bell pepper (one red one adds color interest to relish) ½ c. Kosher salt -------- 3 c. sugar 1 qt. vinegar 2 T. mustard seed 1 c. prepared mustard 3 bayleaf ¼ t. ginger, or juice of 1 finger of ginger -------- a few grape leaves (young green ones), optional - Peel cucumbers; scrape out seeds. - Wash grape leaves, if using. - Cut cucumbers, onions, bell pepper, and celery into cubes (1/4 to 1/2"?) (this is a chunkier relish). - As you chop up veg, place in large bowl for brining period. Periodically , sprinkle with salt and layer in a few grape leaves (if using). Let the vegetables set for about 2 hours. - Rinse the vegetables well with cold water. Drain. Remove grape leaves. - Make the pickling solution. Quickly bring to low simmer, stir to prevent scorching: sugar, vinegar, mustard seed, prepared mustard, bay leaf, and ginger. -- Add the vegetables when the solution is barely simmering, and turn up heat to bring to boil. Continue stirring to prevent scorching. Boil 2 to 5 minutes. (another place you should research modern recipes for time to cook) Remove the bayleaf. - Ladle hot relish into hot, sterilized jars. Seal at once with hot lids and rings. Process in a water bath canner (see below). I use boiling water bath for 15 minutes / 20 minutes for my 1000 plus altitude. Process time should be researched by anyone using this recipe, since it's a very old one and times have changed. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. My reference is an India Relish recipe from Ball that has celery in it. I don't see celery in many recipes, and it seems that celery is considered a rather dirty crop these days, so be sure to clean it well AND process longer than most pickles. If you don't want to process so long, modify recipe to use celery seed. Myself, I like the celery chunks in this recipe.
Awesome. You are a superstar. My uncle mathew is picking me up a 50lbs of onions at a farm market in the valley and I plan on dehydrating them. I haven't done onions before and need to get some mesh thing a ma jiggers lol but so look forward to having a restful winter without having to chop onions for my big family lol. We are like Mr Volfie Howie, cant go without onions lol. Love ya, Peace love and Happiness ~ Tracey
You are just lovely! I'd love to have a small homestead to garden on and have some animals. It's always been a dream of mine, but due to health issues that dream will never become a reality; therefore, I live vicariously through these types of videos. I watch Weed'em & Reap, Lumnah Acres, etc...and now you! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with everyone. I hope that you have a blessed day.
Just a tip, if you save the onion skins, you can put those into a stock pot for lots of added flavor! Beef, chicken, vegetable, any stock will benefit from the added flavors!
Well, having enjoyed your video I now have to go crank up my canner and get my bone broth canned. Then when that is done it will be the apple sauce and if I have time it will be the 30 pounds of potatoes I still have to do, I may even try the carrot and rutabaga combination you did as that is one of my favourites. Thanks for the motivation, Take care and stay safe, Sandie from Ontario Canada.
Nice video here is a handy tip... I use a fruit leather tray in the bottom tray under the fine mesh liner to catch water drips and after the product is dry I dump the trays into a huge bowl I think it holds 18 qts. Makes the process of removing stuck on pieces easy to remove with no mess and can fill my jars over the bowl with out losing any "jumpers" to the floor. 😃
Do you recall how long it took to dehydrate these? Just wondering at what time i should set a timer to check on them. Thanks for all you show us, Bev. 🙂
Gosh, Bev! You look SO good with your hair down like that. I hope you never cut it short again, you were made for that hair style, girl! I was hoping you'd save a few onions for some scrumptious homemade onion rings. YUM! What a fabulous deal you got!
I love it when a channel does a cost breakdown on a project! Although I know a lot of the things you do (canning, cooking, gardening, etc) I still watch these kind of videos all the time, because I still learn from them so often. Like the trick with the fan! Incredible! My favorite new channel is "Me Being Cheap". Please check her out sometime if you get a moment.
I bought 50 pounds of large yellow onions for 13 dollars. Diced some and put in freezer. Dehydrated about third of bag. Used some in my canning recipes. And kept few for fresh use.
Your hair is fine! I am loving your bangs. You should see me when I’m canning or dehydrating! I look awful especially my hair which sticks to my head, due to sweating. You actually have nice hair and enough of it. Mine is leaving me. I love the look of those onions, even toasted! Thanks for the tip about blanching.
I freeze cheese , but it does go a bit crumbly when defrosted ,it goes a little further, also butter and cream milk is frozen , mainly due to being disabled .
Wish I could finds a sale like that!! Too bad I wasn't closer ... I'd have brought over a couple or all four of my dehydrators for you to use. I have four Ivation 9 tray machines.
After this I have leaks and apples to do! Then it's stock up shopping..I want to be HIBERNATING this winter..any perishables Howie can pick up on his way home from work on pay days!
I used to do that too, make your own onion powder by using a coffee grinder. I also used my seal n vac to take all the air out of the jars, they'll stay fresh for 3 to 4 years.
I hope this series continues.... you are teaching so many so much!
I love your hair, it really makes you look younger and even more beautiful!
It is nice
I just got my dehydrator, I love it thank you for the home economics Im learning a lot from you,your a great teacher.
I am loving your economic videos
Girly, I like when you and How banter. It makes me smile. Thanks for sharing another great Home Ec video. Love you!!

Going to try doing onions today in the dehydrator, I have 2 of them, feeling I need a 3rd one to get all my items done.
👏👏👏 Love you! Your videos rememind me of my mom and all of her good sense💗
Yes! I picked up on that price on your shopping video! What a steal!! Great job!
Now THAT was an education! Thank you.
Thank you for reminding people how to figure out cost per unit. I have to remind my kids all the time.
Briar goes shopping with me often..mostly to help me with the groceries..but he also likes to shop WITH me because the choices can be overwhelming..so he just buys what's to hand that he knows he likes and can afford..but when we are together..he is able to ask my advice on price , nutrition and convenience!

Bet they would work great when us women HOT FLASH!!!!
Onions where on sale here in Ontario Canada a few weeks back. No Frills had 10lbs for 1.97
We only get 3 pounds for $1.99 around here. Not many sales on them, either.
I buy cheese blocks when they are on sale. Grate and put in a zip lock ,keep in the freezer!
Brilliant. Thank you!
I love this!!!!! I grew 200 onions now I know what I will be doing with them!!!!
Great video.....I just might have to try this idea. Loved the fanning too.... You kept me quite entertained.
Thank you for your informative videos. Keep up your great work. I have learned so much.
Also your hair looks great...
I've always just used a tall floor fan on a stand behind me over a shoulder to blow away the onion fumes. Helps to have a window at the far end open so others in the house don't tear up from the smell. I also have the same strainer you have, mine is a lime green. Really handy.
Brilliant!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m going to be canning and dehydrating a lot this year due to this crazy world we live in. TY!!
Amazing! I just love watching your videos, I learn so much

I just love my NESCO dehydrator. I’m doing onions now also !
I am glad they are done..my sinuses! OY!
Fantastic video!!!! What gorgeous onions - yes, gorgeous 😀 😋 The-fan was a great idea! ❤️🌺
Thanks Stella!
I tried your trick and put a small fan on the cupboard blowing the onion smell away from me. First time ever that I didn't cry onion juice tears. Thank you for showing us this.
Love the home economic videos!!!!!💚❤💜🧡💙

“Why? ONION JUICE!!!!” Totally made me laugh out loud!
I love your video and how you teach food common scene most of us were never taught or exposed to. Thank you for teaching me!
I love your videos! They are very informative and I am learning so much.
I think I would of done another 2bags at that price.
I know I would have gotten 5 bags!
I got more ! Bacon was $2 a pound, yes a full pound not those 375 gram packages and butter was 2.97 a pound got 10.
It make perfect I prepare a little backwards given I live in south Florida I prepare through our winter months so I don’t have to in the summer months if we get a hurricane.
Your hair looks beautiful!! Thank you for your videos!!
The neck fan is awesome. The onions I'm getting lately seem extra juicy and potent. I can see how useful that would be. That beats having to stop chopping to blow my nose and wipe my eyes every minute!!!
Great video.
This is my fav series of yours by far. I’m learning so much.
Well I am glad to be doing it! And there is more to come!
OurHalfAcreHomestead Thanks Bev. My husband rarely watches the same videos that I like. But he watches yours with me. You are so relatable.
thanks for sharing!! i'm dehydrating onions today myself,and preserving apples (dear hubby brought home 60 pounds yesterday !) we are in full winter prep mode here in ohio
AMEN Darlin! I am on leaks tonight and apples Thursday! Full Throttle! But won't be long now till quilting and knitting days!
Thanks you so much and love your hair - Jerilyn
Thank you!
Your awesome. I just found you. This video is very timely as I just harvested a bunch. Love that apron missy
Love your hair Bev!!! Darling!!!!
Onions look wonderful!!!
Thanks Honey! The Onions are a MAJOR score for the pantry!
Your hair looks fantastic! I love the home economy videos. I think it makes us all more aware of the money we’re spending and where we can improve on our budget. Thanks Bev, your the best!
Thank you! I thought I had been teaching it all along..however ..some of the newer TH-cam Family members are enjoying the price breakdowns!
@@OurHalfAcreHomestead BEV...what would be the price breakdowns of the energy used to run the large and small appliances in a task such as this or even when canning and supplies...cents?? Free if solar🤔
For that price on onions I would go back and get another 20lbs It's not like they will go bad and if your like me you use them all the time. Has Howie winterized the RV yet? Don't forget to put some mice traps out or something to kill them. One bad thing about winter is everything is trying to find a warm place. Looks like you are feeling a little better.
Well done Miss Volpe...excellent

Good one !!!!? TY
Thanks, Bev. I love to dehydrate to store foods long-term. I'll bet those toasty onions lend a good flavor to soups and stews. :-D
Yummmmm...
Another great one Bev! Those dried onions are beautiful and will be delicious in all you cook!!!!🧡🧡🧡
I love this!!! I never knew about this. Thank you so much!! You are so blessed with all this info.. God bless you kiddo
Just awesome thank you
That’s a fabulous gadget!!!! The Onion Juice Fan !!!! Love it 🥰

Your so awesome i have learned so much this video was great thank you
You’re such a cool person! You teach me so much
great idea as I can a lot and learning to dehydrate! I will definitely try the onions! You should try making your own cheese it not hard.
I look forward to all your videos...keep up the great work

Would love to see your long term and short term food storage???
This is great! I've done onions before, but obviously not the best way. I really like your longer hair style. 🙂
Funny story....
I also just purchased a bag of onions on sale. My little family of 6 helped me peel, chop and bag them. I like to keep mine in gallon freezer bags as well as dehydrating.

Did you put them in ice water after they were in the hot water to blanch?
Thank you.
Grandma Sue in central Indiana and Izzi Too
No need to put them in ice water because we're not removing any skins Like Tomatoes, and we're not dislodging them like corn we're just opening the pores
Bev, your hairstyle after the shower makes you look great! You should wear it more often!
Yes you look so much younger with it like that ! It's adorable :)
Thanks
Good morning Bev. I love seeing your videos. Gorgeous deliciousness home economics! I also put up a relish with a lot of onions. It's from an old cookbook; but it seems to work well. I use it whenever I don't have fresh onions. Good for roast, hot dogs, baked beans... and anything else where you wished you had a fresh onion handy.
GOLD RELISH
12 large ripe cucumbers (yellow ones okay to use)
12 large white onions
12 large ribs of celery (very clean ones, no dirt ingrained)
1 or 2 bell pepper (one red one adds color interest to relish)
½ c. Kosher salt
--------
3 c. sugar
1 qt. vinegar
2 T. mustard seed
1 c. prepared mustard
3 bayleaf
¼ t. ginger, or juice of 1 finger of ginger
--------
a few grape leaves (young green ones), optional
- Peel cucumbers; scrape out seeds.
- Wash grape leaves, if using.
- Cut cucumbers, onions, bell pepper, and celery into cubes (1/4 to 1/2"?) (this is a chunkier relish).
- As you chop up veg, place in large bowl for brining period.
Periodically , sprinkle with salt and layer in a few grape leaves (if using).
Let the vegetables set for about 2 hours.
- Rinse the vegetables well with cold water. Drain. Remove grape leaves.
- Make the pickling solution. Quickly bring to low simmer, stir to prevent scorching:
sugar, vinegar, mustard seed, prepared mustard, bay leaf, and ginger.
-- Add the vegetables when the solution is barely simmering, and turn up heat to bring to boil. Continue stirring to prevent scorching. Boil 2 to 5 minutes. (another place you should research modern recipes for time to cook) Remove the bayleaf.
- Ladle hot relish into hot, sterilized jars. Seal at once with hot lids and rings. Process in a water bath canner (see below).
I use boiling water bath for 15 minutes / 20 minutes for my 1000 plus altitude.
Process time should be researched by anyone using this recipe, since it's a very old one and times have changed.
DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.
My reference is an India Relish recipe from Ball that has celery in it. I don't see celery in many recipes, and it seems that celery is considered a rather dirty crop these days, so be sure to clean it well AND process longer than most pickles. If you don't want to process so long, modify recipe to use celery seed. Myself, I like the celery chunks in this recipe.
Awesome. You are a superstar. My uncle mathew is picking me up a 50lbs of onions at a farm market in the valley and I plan on dehydrating them. I haven't done onions before and need to get some mesh thing a ma jiggers lol but so look forward to having a restful winter without having to chop onions for my big family lol.

Onions are a MAIN staple in out house! Many a meal can be stretched by adding more onion and water!
You are just lovely! I'd love to have a small homestead to garden on and have some animals. It's always been a dream of mine, but due to health issues that dream will never become a reality; therefore, I live vicariously through these types of videos. I watch Weed'em & Reap, Lumnah Acres, etc...and now you! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with everyone. I hope that you have a blessed day.
Hi Bev! I store my onions in the fridge and chop them cold. They will not make you cry when you do this. Thanks for a good video!
Just a tip, if you save the onion skins, you can put those into a stock pot for lots of added flavor! Beef, chicken, vegetable, any stock will benefit from the added flavors!
I Totally Love Watching Your Video a🤗💕
I'm doing this this fall, 2022, a big bag of onions go on sale for a great price.
Thank you
I hope you kept those scraps for homemade stock and broth!
Well, having enjoyed your video I now have to go crank up my canner and get my bone broth canned. Then when that is done it will be the apple sauce and if I have time it will be the 30 pounds of potatoes I still have to do, I may even try the carrot and rutabaga combination you did as that is one of my favourites.

It really works! Thank you!
I live in Florida now, but I miss shopping at no frills! I’m from Sarnia originally
Do you recall how long it took to dehydrate these? Just wondering at what time i should set a timer to check on them. Thanks for all you show us, Bev. 🙂
Gosh, Bev! You look SO good with your hair down like that. I hope you never cut it short again, you were made for that hair style, girl! I was hoping you'd save a few onions for some scrumptious homemade onion rings. YUM! What a fabulous deal you got!
Thanks Darlin..I like big white onions for rings.
I love it when a channel does a cost breakdown on a project!
Although I know a lot of the things you do (canning, cooking, gardening, etc) I still watch these kind of videos all the time, because I still learn from them so often. Like the trick with the fan! Incredible!
My favorite new channel is "Me Being Cheap". Please check her out sometime if you get a moment.
You are amazing. Thank you for this info.!:)
I bought 50 pounds of large yellow onions for 13 dollars. Diced some and put in freezer. Dehydrated about third of bag. Used some in my canning recipes. And kept few for fresh use.
Live next door to me lol I could learn so much from you!
Your hair is fine! I am loving your bangs. You should see me when I’m canning or dehydrating! I look awful especially my hair which sticks to my head, due to sweating. You actually have nice hair and enough of it. Mine is leaving me. I love the look of those onions, even toasted! Thanks for the tip about blanching.
My Nesco was the best thing I’ve ever bought ❣️💯
Love it❤️
Thank u Mrs. V🙏🏼✌🏼🥰
I freeze cheese , but it does go a bit crumbly when defrosted ,it goes a little further, also butter and cream milk is frozen , mainly due to being disabled .
Wish I could finds a sale like that!! Too bad I wasn't closer ... I'd have brought over a couple or all four of my dehydrators for you to use. I have four Ivation 9 tray machines.
Wow, thank you for the tip. Amazing. But what deshidrato do you used or do you have a favorite? Thank you 😊👍
Love the video, but I also love your hair! It looks wonderful!
I don't have a dehydrator but I do freeze onions.
Love it when Food Basics has onions and root vegetables on sale in the full I get so excited:)
After this I have leaks and apples to do! Then it's stock up shopping..I want to be HIBERNATING this winter..any perishables Howie can pick up on his way home from work on pay days!
I used to do that too, make your own onion powder by using a coffee grinder. I also used my seal n vac to take all the air out of the jars, they'll stay fresh for 3 to 4 years.
Now that's a deal 💕👍
I try to teach my kids economics show them how to shop for their families
