    If you want your blueberries to remain suspended in your batter, rather than falling to the bottom, toss them in a little bit of flour before mixing them in. You'll get a much better distribution/ratio per muffin.

    Hi Becky , you always talk about your fondness for caramellized onions, and I recently read a book that suggested adding a pinch of baking soda because onions cook and caramellize faster in an alcaline enviromnment. I tried it myself and it actually really speeds things up . I just wanted to let you know. Have a nice day!

    When I saw you cutting that basil, I thought it would be a great idea to use your grow room to start herbs in the late summer, so you could have fresh herbs all winter. You could plant them out in the garden once spring comes again if you didn't want to have to keep up with them. A greenstalk herb garden in that sunny, frost free room would be amazing!

Eating out all the time isn't very healthy so I know these recipes will be welcomed by both of them.

    Brief story I thought you might enjoy hearing. It is truly a small world. I was watching a gaming channel from England, @emmalution, and she was talking about food, and she said that she had learned that nutmeg goes really well in creamy sauces from Acre Homestead! I had to back up the stream to make sure I heard right. I was like hey! She is talking about my friend! Anyway, I am now off to watch this video.

    You've inspired me to make freezer meals. We went from cooking for 4-8 people to 2-3. My partner is not much on leftovers. So now I make a meal for now and put 1 or 2 in the freezer. It's been a game changer. We don't eat out when I'm too tired to cook. We pull a freezer meal. It's helped for my MIL as well. I make her several 'tv dinners' to pop in the air fryer or microwave. She loves them. 😊

      You can safely refreeze meat as long as the meat is safely defrosted. If you use a water bath or just sit it on the counter, you can't. If you do it in the fridge, you're safe. I did the research on it.

    Whenever I make lasagna or baked ziti I find that it’s always more flavorful when I season my ricotta well as ricotta by itself is very bland. It takes it over the top! I add an egg, salt & pepper, dried oregano, dried or fresh basil, fresh parsley, and lots of Parmesan cheese.

    Becky, I love watching your channel. Maybe this is just me, but I would love to see an episode on how you unfreeze some of these meals to eat. Do you pull out the muffin the night before, take it straight from the freezer to the microwave? That kind of thing. I’m especially interested in how you use your glass containers from the freezer. Do you thaw first, go straight from freezer to oven. Like I said, maybe I’m the only one that doesn’t know how to do this, but I would love to learn. Thanks!

    Thank you for the hit of Positive!!
    Like many others commenting? I am 64. My variation i different. No grandchild inspiration, nor Dependant to Feed. No.
    I had Stopped cooking, from Depression, Sorrow/Greiving/Handicapped Leg Busting more AND Self Denial for Control in my life. See? Heaps in my Story! I also went and got Plunked back in my Parents' house and both of them are gone. My oldest daughter is Passed and my Ex. My youngest refuses to Eat anything i cook, but for my turkey or chicken breasts. She has Sensory Issues, so she claims.
    My grandsons are both Taken.
    No one left but me!
    I tend to be on Intermittent Fasting, Daily, for the last 15 years...
    With your enthusiasm and positive outlook AND making it Flow so Easy? You Helped me TO look forward TO trying! ❤
    Other Channels incuding some of your friends, i went back TO canning and freezing! I still cook very little, about once a week? But now i have my own canned soup, cabage rolls in jars (my own creation), stews, Cream Soup Bases and Fruit, Sauces and Jams again! So between my few cookings? I pop open a jar and am able to eat healthily, with little leg time!!
    When i go Shopping? Only half an hour in Store, harms my leg for 2 or 3 days. So it is very precious TO have nutrition in a jar, or only cook noodles and put my sauce, etc!

I cut clean cardboard a little bigger than the top of the aluminum pans & round the edges. I place the cardboard on top of the sealed pans & then place another pan on top of that. Works great, & saves spaces in fridge or freezer. I save the cardboard & use it again when needed. Keep the videos coming. Thank you for what you do.
