You did a service by making it OK to realize that downsizing is a way to go. Many of us are getting up there in years and need to make that same decision that you did. You made it OK with your sweet story and your style for others to follow. Thank you so much 😁👍💕
You can very easily get to a point in your life where the worry and the amount of energy it takes to deal with things in your life becomes a bit much. Hiring people is not always the answer. Because you have to worry about them and deal with them and maybe getting around in that big house just walking constantly is a bit much. When you get in your 70s life can be challenging and being in a place a little more manageable can be a big blessing. Her other home is not small In fact it is quite roomy spacious and delightful without all that land to worry about. Maybe in a few years you might feel different. Bigger is not always better and again there comes a time when cozy is wonderful. 😁👍
Is it weird that I’m sad you won’t be in that incredible kitchen anymore? Great Great sitting at the table yonder, all those copper pots and pans in the background, I’m getting sentimental - I feel like I’ve moved myself! 😂 Your videos have become such an integral part of my evenings before bed and I feel like I’m in the kitchen with you. Congratulations on your new journey, Ms Deen! Sending love and all the best in your new home.
@Steve Z.- I’m sad as well, and I agree with your comment, in every way. But, I am always happy for anything good, lovely and positive, for Michael and Paula, and everyone else, of course! 😊❤️🙏🏼🥘
I feel the same way about your beautiful kitchen! I have loved watching you cook your delicious recipes from there! However, I do understand the time of life you are entering where you want to become a minimalist. My husband and I are there as well! Best Wishes to you and I appreciate you continuing to share your wonderful recipes from Bobby’s guest house!
I've been pressure cooking for 50 years, never had one explode on me. If you follow directions, that doesn't happen. Now, all the pressure cookers are made with safety valves, so there's nothing to be scared of. I do my Boston butt with sauerkraut and potatoes, a nice winter meal, lots of onions and garlic. I couldn't live without my pressure cooker, yet for years I couldn't convince anybody to use one, they were so scared of it exploding. It just doesn't happen. I forgot my cooker one time, on the stove years and years ago, and all that happened is that all the steam dissipated, and the roast burned to the bottom of the pot. My very favorite Paula Deen Recipe is your Orange Brownies. I could eat those every day, 3 times a day !! When I bake for others, that's my most requested recipe too. Thank you for many years of totally excellent recipes... btw, Mr Salters Peanut Butter Pie comes in a close second.
Oh Paula, you look so gorgeous today! The relief of a sale of a home can do so much for how ya feel and look! I recently sold a 22 acre beautiful home/farm in OH and moved South.... All by myself, as my husband passed😪. Just a whole new outlook starting over at 60, but the stress is gone here in Savannah, and enjoying all your Q. Videos. How about some shrimp n grits, your style? Thank you! And congrats! 💕🐾🦃😋
@@LCmonman Omg...thank you so very much! I wasn't looking for sympathy...I feel like I finally got it together and am happy...do miss companionship, but I found a beautiful home n hope to make new friends here down South. A bit difficult with the pandemic...but try to stay safe n still q'tining. Bless you, n thank you!
@@stacey5925 Oh my gosh! I hope you have the best new chapter to your life. And your loved one above would want that as well. Your kind words to Paula are beautiful and I wish them all back to you as well.
Today is my mommas 90th Birthday. I feel so blessed to still have her with me. She always worked outside the home and she was a total pro putting great meals on the table with her Pressure Cooker. We always enjoy your videos and recipes. Thank you so much for spending time with us and sharing your beautiful smile with us all.
Hiiiiiii Ms Paula! Happy Saturday! Sorry I missed some of your videos due to my work schedule this past couple weeks, but I'mma catch up this weekend, I promise. I don't have a pressure cooker. I've always been afraid of them too. My mama and grandmother used to make us kids leave the kitchen too. I will have to get yours. I need an air fryer too.😁 I guess I'll have to use my crockpot if I'm going to make this this weekend. We can have barbecue today and the butt with gravy tomorrow for Sunday dinner. Thanks Ms Paula. And congrats on taking steps into a new chapter. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my, Miss Paula. I have to admit that my jaw hit the floor when you said that River Bend has sold! I know it was on the market for some time. I'M going to miss your kitchen! And I remember watching a few of your shows done by the river with that make-shift water trough table! Ahhh, the good old days...But if you and Michael are happy, that's all that matters. And you DO look happy! Congratulations!!
I got your big pressure cooker couple years ago (I wanted the blue to go with all my other PD blue items but all that was available was the brown - seeing yours made me think about that...) Anyway, years ago, using my mother's pressure cooker I was cooking peas. Followed directions and mom's instructions. I, too, would not let my children come around when that thing was jiggling. It blew up! Lid went into ceiling and peas were EVERYWHERE. Somehow they even went into the hallway. Several years later when I moved and pulled out the frig, there were green peas embedded in the wall behind it. I do love the new safe pressure cookers and have both your small one and large one - I never know when I'm cooking for 5 or 10. Love your videos - keep 'em coming. Minimalism is looking amazing on you. Enjoy your next chapter.
Congrats y’all! A very wise good choice! My folks are in their late 70s and almost to the point of moving to something smaller. Love to y’all from Loveland, Colorado ❤️
I am so happy for you & Michael. It’s wonderful moving into a simpler life. Praying blessings over you and Michael as you move through this new season. By the way, you look wonderful today.
Good for you and Michael, Paula! The home y'all sold is gorgeous, but there's a lot to be said for a less stressful situation, in a home that's easier to upkeep, and having peace of mind. Enjoying the simpler, more important things in everyday life, like just time together,is where it's at, you're right. I know y'all will love being back in the home you lived in when first married! I'm so happy for you both ♥️🤗
Paula thank you for so much for sharing your kitchen and your space and your stories with us and letting us get a glimpse into your life which sounds so much just like everybody else’s which is so heartwarming. We would love you in any kitchen and how nice you have a family to go to.
73 in Alabama says downsizing was the best thing I ever did. I am on a walker. Sciatic left leg, need 2 knee replacements, Type two diabetes, Vision going to just name a few haha! A big house is a big responsibility! I have a small sweet apartment with one of my sons and it's just right for us. Needed the big two-story house when I was raising 3 boys but not now! You go girl and keep on cooking enjoy your shows Daily!
Goodmorning Paula, you look so happy and excited on your new adventure! Miss the beautiful kitchen in the background though, I’m sure you’ll surprise us with a cute, compact version for you n Michael💕💕💕 My hubby Jeff is the crockpot, instapot n air fryer chef. His specialty is smoked Boston Butt 😋 using the crockpot, so this Christmas I’ll be getting him your pressure cooker. Thank you Paula for all the years of cooking and seeing your smiling face and wonderful laughter, you are just a sweetheart💕💕 I’ve bought a ton of your cookbooks including some from your two handsome boys,too. you all have certainly made me a better cook👏 Aloha and hugs from Hawaii, love y’all Stay safe, be well🙏!
Aside from the Boston Butt, you looked absolutely beautiful today! Congratulations on the move to your old place. Would love to see videos of the remodel! I always loved that house on your earlier shows.
Oh my goodness .... that looks so good!! I would love to have one of those instapots . My son and his wife have one and they love it. I hope you and Michael will be happy in your new home. Thank you Miss Paula!! 😘❤
I love my instapot...I cook in mine at least once a week. I cook my Boston butts, roast, chili everything in them. You will love one friend. Would be a great Christmas present for you. Have a wonderful day ♥️
My husband and I have been married 38 years, and 4 years ago we “downsized” by selling our big two story house we lived in for 30 years and raised our children in. We built a one story house with walk in showers and rails so we can “age in place”. We are very happy, but Lordy, that was a job going through all the stuff you accrue over 38 years! But I am SO GLAD we did it! Best wishes my dear Paula!
Hey Paula it's Delores again I've written to you a couple of times I so much enjoy you I love everything you do all the through the years that you've changed and so forth and all that the kids you've got now and same with me I have four great grandchildren I love seeing your renovation of dogwood and everything you cook and I've just enjoyed everything about you love looking at everything you do and all the backgrounds of your homes and now you're in Bobby's whatever and I hope before long you'll be able to get into your home that's being renovated y'all stay healthy and happy and I'll do the same blessings to y'all.
Bobby Deen. What a good Son, I'm glad he had the house available for you and Michael. You just know when it's time to downsize. It's a process that we all will face. I personally have thought a Tiny House will be my Next house ❤
I love you & miss you Mrs. Paula. I also miss seeing your husband as frequently as we used to because I no longer have cable! Yes ma'am, I'm still on the west coast & I'm hoping to be on the East Coast sooner rather than later! My "beau" proposed again! This time I said YES! Don't let the picture fool you, I'll be 56 in July, he'll be 29 in April before my birthday! Love has no boundaries, FYI ~ I'm engaged because of your recipes....THANK YOU & your family....
Honey, my Mom was 20 years older than my Stepdad and they were together for 40 years. He lost her a month ago, she was 89. He loved her so much just like we did. I wish you two all the happiness in the world.
So excited for you and Michael. You and Michael are going to be so happy to be back to your "Dogwood". As you know me and my Michael are also looking to downsize and get up to Nashville to a small farm. Love to you both from both of us.
Oh Paula....did you bring back memories. My mama got her first pressure cooker when I was preschool back in 1955. Before she got the hang of it, we would peek around the kitchen door and watch as the rocker thing started shaking. I remember beans exploding onto the kitchen ceiling and once, chicken noodle soup!!! She finally got the "hang" of it and became a professional...haha, but I remember her first experiments!!!
Congratulations on the big move Paula🧡 I'm with you about less is more. I'm moving to South Carolina in the next month or two and I am taking very little with me - I'll have fun shopping when I get there. I remember my mom's pressure cooker. I knew how to use it, but I still have a healthy fear of pressure cookers.
I love our little house. 650 square feet. But full basement and attic and a garage. Perfect for the two of us. We've done a complete renovation and it's finally perfect after 22 years. Less is truly more.
I used stovetop pressure cooker over 15 years and now my kids knows how to use it and they love it. It's just important to know which brand to buy and how to use it correctly.
The barrels the pork went into were called butts. This particular shoulder cut became known around the country as a New England specialty, and hence it became the "Boston butt." 😊
HA! I've been using Liquid Smoke for decades. It just makes everything taste better. We do have a smoker but when you just want to cook something inside without all the work of using the smoker, LS is just the thing. It makes vegetables taste great too.
That Bobby is a champ for helping his Momma and Michael while they remodel. ♡♡♡ That place you sold was a dream, but I bet your remodel will be, too. God is good all the time, Gaye Furlow
Hello Mrs. Deen. I watched your great video and am hungry now. There is no better compliment, is there? One 👍 and many greetings from Germany 😋 Mati :-)
I have two different size on stove pressure cookers and always looking for recipe ideas to do in them. I said to my hubby “Paula has a pressure cooker recipe for me today.” It broke my heart when I saw the electric cord and this is an instant pot vid. Maybe, just maybe if Paula can use an instant pot I will also bite the bullet and try one. That’s the influence Paula still has. 😜
Great for you and Michael to downsize. It will so much more pleasant with less space to take care of. I am like this at 48...I will be 49 in 2 months. LOL. Where is Aunt Peggy? Has she got well enough to go back to her home? Or is she still staying with you and Michael in the house you are using from Bobby? I do love that lady. She has such a great spirit, I also like to look back and catch older shows from years ago when she was on them, and I can tell she is a treasure to you all! A family jewel for sure!
Meat is so good and so easy in the pressure cooker. I have an instant pot I got for Christmas last year. It sat in the box for a month before I tried it. There was a learning curve- but I couldn’t do without it. I use it almost everyday. You should do a series on here for recipes done in the pressure cooker....also more recipes for your air fryer. I just got one of those. That Boston butt makes so much meat. We like our bbq sandwiches with some coleslaw on top. We’ve used leftovers for Cubans, and for pork tacos.
Tip: if you cut the butt in half or quarters, it will easily cut 30 minutes off the cooking time. If you're going to shred it anyway, you'll never know the difference.
Thank you, I'm planning to slow-cook a Boston Butt for shredded barbecue in a few days. Good to keep your tip in mind. The same tip applies for a chuck roast when making slow-cooker pot roast.
My husband and I are downsizing as well. We are tired of the upkeep and to honest feeling like a motel 6 to anyone who comes to our state, because we're not from here originally. I love your upbeat advice about our move and we definitely agree with you! Love you!!!! Only thing I saw that I know your going to change is the fridge, no ice in the door is Ice age now, right?
It's funny you mention the powdered pork roast gravy - I LOVE that stuff! Not so much the other flavors though - but the pork is👍. Can't wait to see the new old house! 🏡 I'm in a tiny one in rural Md 750 Sq ft. 😁
I won't be a bit surprised if I don't see you post a video or two now that Michael has his wife back. He's been trying to hunt you down for so long in that other big house that he's going to feel like he has a whole new Paula! 😂♥️😂
I totally understand downsizing we just sold our 3000 square-foot house and went down to 1000 ft.² and we are very happy now less to clean less too keep up with ha ha
Cook your Boston Butt with about a cup of water in the pan covered loosely with foul in the oven for about 1 1/2 hours then dump 2 large jars of Silver Floss Sauerkraut (the best) over the top juice and all and put it back in the oven for about 40 minutes more without foil. In the meantime make some homemade mashed potatoes leaving bits of potatoes in there (that's why I use a hand held masher instead of an electric mixer). Add butter salt, cracked black pepper, and sour cream to the potatoes. THEN... plate up the bed of mashed potatoes and top them with the pork and sauerkraut! You will love this and so will your family or guests. Love and best dishes...much more...Blessings in Christ always! ❤️
At first I thought, this change is going to be weird, but within a few minutes I knew it’s all good, all still just like visiting my next door neighbor. And, that pork roast, wow! I’m very, very impressed with that pressure cooker and I need to get a new one, one of yours. I’m sure they are life-changing in the kitchen. Love from East Texas! ⚡️💖⚡️

Aside from the Boston Butt, you looked absolutely beautiful today! Congratulations on the move to your old place. Would love to see videos of the remodel! I always loved that house on your earlier shows.

Congratulations!!! I loved Dogwood more!! It is a beautiful home to!
Your home and Kitchen were absolutely beautiful, best wishes to you!
I'm trying this today. I wish you had a whole pressure cooker playlist.
I’m so excited about this .,, I’m doing this for thanksgiving .... thank you Paula

Hi Paula , what ‘s name of your pressure cooker ? Can’t find it on line .Thanks
Congratulations on the big move Paula🧡 I'm with you about less is more. I'm moving to South Carolina in the next month or two and I am taking very little with me - I'll have fun shopping when I get there. I remember my mom's pressure cooker. I knew how to use it, but I still have a healthy fear of pressure cookers.
Will your new house have a huge working kitchen. I love you Paula.
Congrats on the house!
Congratulations on downsizing but I love your old house! And love you and your recipes
Our house is only 384 square feet. That's everything, but we still have full size appliances, and a queen sized bed.
Ha! Mine is a mansion compared at 750Sq ft. 😂
I love our little house. 650 square feet. But full basement and attic and a garage. Perfect for the two of us. We've done a complete renovation and it's finally perfect after 22 years. Less is truly more.
Agree with ya'all. I have down sized so much in last 15 years. Now in 450 sqft and happier than I have ever been.
I used stovetop pressure cooker over 15 years and now my kids knows how to use it and they love it. It's just important to know which brand to buy and how to use it correctly.
The barrels the pork went into were called butts. This particular shoulder cut became known around the country as a New England specialty, and hence it became the "Boston butt." 😊

This recipe looks so delicious Paula.
HA! I've been using Liquid Smoke for decades. It just makes everything taste better. We do have a smoker but when you just want to cook something inside without all the work of using the smoker, LS is just the thing. It makes vegetables taste great too.
I can never forget your Sunday Meals
That Bobby is a champ for helping his Momma and Michael while they remodel. ♡♡♡ That place you sold was a dream, but I bet your remodel will be, too.
God is good all the time,

Thanks so much for all of your recipes! Would you please post more pressure cooker recipes?
I'm happy for u. And I love your recipes 💖💖💖
I can't find your pressure cooker for sale anywhere, not even in your store. will you be restocking?
Hello Mrs. Deen. I watched your great video and am hungry now. There is no better compliment, is there? One 👍 and many greetings from Germany 😋 Mati :-)
Dear Paula, minimalism is joy. Less is more! We have embraced this philosophy for years. Love your videos. Do you have a favorite waffle recipe?
So you sopd the home that you were recently doing videos in?!?! I'm going to miss that kitchen! What a beautiful home that was.
I have two different size on stove pressure cookers and always looking for recipe ideas to do in them. I said to my hubby “Paula has a pressure cooker recipe for me today.” It broke my heart when I saw the electric cord and this is an instant pot vid. Maybe, just maybe if Paula can use an instant pot I will also bite the bullet and try one. That’s the influence Paula still has. 😜
Great for you and Michael to downsize. It will so much more pleasant with less space to take care of. I am like this at 48...I will be 49 in 2 months. LOL. Where is Aunt Peggy? Has she got well enough to go back to her home? Or is she still staying with you and Michael in the house you are using from Bobby? I do love that lady. She has such a great spirit, I also like to look back and catch older shows from years ago when she was on them, and I can tell she is a treasure to you all! A family jewel for sure!
I have been downsizing a lot of stuff this year. I go closet by closet. I never knew I had so much crafting stuff...lol
Meat is so good and so easy in the pressure cooker. I have an instant pot I got for Christmas last year. It sat in the box for a month before I tried it. There was a learning curve- but I couldn’t do without it. I use it almost everyday. You should do a series on here for recipes done in the pressure cooker....also more recipes for your air fryer. I just got one of those. That Boston butt makes so much meat. We like our bbq sandwiches with some coleslaw on top. We’ve used leftovers for Cubans, and for pork tacos.
Hello Maggie
Hey Paula Are you gonna give us recipes and ideas for Thanksgiving 2020?
So excited for you and Michael and your new chapter!
Paula you look so beautiful in this video!
I'll try cooking this looks good.
Tip: if you cut the butt in half or quarters, it will easily cut 30 minutes off the cooking time. If you're going to shred it anyway, you'll never know the difference.
I never thought of that. Thanks.
Thank you, I'm planning to slow-cook a Boston Butt for shredded barbecue in a few days. Good to keep your tip in mind. The same tip applies for a chuck roast when making slow-cooker pot roast.
Moving is such a pain....hope it's easy for you....wishing you the best.
Love your cooking show
Where do you buy the pressure cooker?
ShopHQ for $104.
My husband and I are downsizing as well. We are tired of the upkeep and to honest feeling like a motel 6 to anyone who comes to our state, because we're not from here originally. I love your upbeat advice about our move and we definitely agree with you! Love you!!!! Only thing I saw that I know your going to change is the fridge, no ice in the door is Ice age now, right?
I am also terrified of old pressure cookers. All you ever heard of was when they blew up. I would love to have one like that.
Instant pots/pressure cookers make the best roasts. Dont know what ild do without.mine.
what time do you do your cooking for the show?
Hello Jane
I have really enjoyed your quarantine cooking. You look lovely today in your new home. :-)
What is the brand of pressure cooker ? Where can it be purchased?
That is her own line of small appliances.
On the ShopHQ website for $104.
Wow, I'm happy for you !!!!
Btw, your hair looks great fixed that way !!!!
It's funny you mention the powdered pork roast gravy - I LOVE that stuff! Not so much the other flavors though - but the pork is👍.
Can't wait to see the new old house! 🏡 I'm in a tiny one in rural Md 750 Sq ft. 😁
I won't be a bit surprised if I don't see you post a video or two now that Michael has his wife back. He's been trying to hunt you down for so long in that other big house that he's going to feel like he has a whole new Paula! 😂♥️😂
😂😂😂😂😂love it
Lol,that's true
I totally understand downsizing we just sold our 3000 square-foot house and went down to 1000 ft.² and we are very happy now less to clean less too keep up with ha ha
Cook your Boston Butt with about a cup of water in the pan covered loosely with foul in the oven for about 1 1/2 hours then dump 2 large jars of Silver Floss Sauerkraut (the best) over the top juice and all and put it back in the oven for about 40 minutes more without foil. In the meantime make some homemade mashed potatoes leaving bits of potatoes in there (that's why I use a hand held masher instead of an electric mixer). Add butter salt, cracked black pepper, and sour cream to the potatoes. THEN... plate up the bed of mashed potatoes and top them with the pork and sauerkraut! You will love this and so will your family or guests. Love and best dishes...much more...Blessings in Christ always! ❤️
Oh I love it,so cute! I did the same thing! And I love it! That is sweet Paula!! You have to do that! You made a good decision! 🤗💞Cherokee Judy
At first I thought, this change is going to be weird, but within a few minutes I knew it’s all good, all still just like visiting my next door neighbor. And, that pork roast, wow! I’m very, very impressed with that pressure cooker and I need to get a new one, one of yours. I’m sure they are life-changing in the kitchen. Love from East Texas! ⚡️💖⚡️
Hello Liz
I’m using this method for tamale filling this year!
What the last seasoning you put in after the water you didn't say
Don’t have a pressure cooker or air fryer, but do enjoy the shows where you use the stove and oven. 😘
