Oops! My head must have been stuck in 2023 when I input the date stamps in the video. The dates should be January 2024 (and Jan "3rd" not "3nd")... Hope you all enjoy regardless. 😅
You are awesome Becky! You are genuine and that is one of your endearing qualities! Your honest things are what make us feel like your friends, not just viewers. That’s what keeps us coming back for more! Thanks for being you!
Becky pasteurization is so important to avoid bacteria that exists naturally in cows milk, you dont lose anything from pasteurizing, in fact you avoid e coli
Becky, you can try making potato bread as if you were making regular bread. The potato bread also has all purpose flour in it. I can give you my grandma’s recipe if you want to. It is delicious! You can also make a tray of ground beef/meat sauce and mash potatoes in layers then finish off with cheese on top. You can also make a potato pie in which you layer slices of white bread, mayo, shredded chicken in a sauce, then repeat the layers again and top it off with mash potato on top (and sides if not making in a tray) and some potato sticks (shoestring) on top. There’s also the option to make potato au gratin. These are the options I could think of to help you out in what to do with so many potatoes 😅
@@NeboAllen sure! 👍 In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp (full or 1 block, can’t remember if it’s equivalent to 2 tbsp) of fresh yeast with 1 1/2 cup sugar till it dissolves (smash the yeast and sugar together, it’ll turn into a liquid consistency) (you can try dissolving 1 envelope of dry instant yeast with a little sugar and a little water, but add the remaining sugar in the next step). In a blender, blend 500 grams of boiled potatoes without skin (at room temperature), 4 eggs, 2 tbsp of lard or butter, 1 cup of milk, and salt to taste (about 1 tsp). Mix the blended ingredients with the yeast in a bowl and add all purpose flour till a consistency of a bread dough ( the recipe doesn’t specify the amount of flour). Let it rest for about 2 hours (or till it doubles). Shape the dough into balls, let them rise and bake them at 350 F.
My parents are immigrants from Lebanon and she makes yogurt (lebene) in a pan on the stove; she warms the milk and knows how warm it is by dipping her finger into it, then she drops the temperature and tests the temperature again with her finger and then she adds her yogurt and pours the mixture into containers, cover them with a blanket and makes perfect yogurt. She strains some of it to make a cram cheese spread (lebeny). It is so delicious! I cannot make it her way so I use my instant pot. My mother is 91 years old and cooks dinner every day. She makes yogurt and cream cheese weekly. Dad just turned 91 yesterday! I am so blessed to have my parents with me. 😊
Yes, you are blessed., But I can tell you realize that also.. I think having your parents near you even when you're older is a great Blessing. It is so comforting and you' Learn so much, From them. God bless,. Theresa.
Thank you for all the work you put in to linking everything! now I have a Birthday list for my husband! lol Being a stay-at-home mom your videos have helped me with organizing and inspired me to try to start a little homestead for myself. I know it will help save some money and I know that's always a great goal to have.
I love that you're always a full-service channel! 😂 I started watching some old videos and you mentioned laundry at the outset of this one - perfect timing! You reminded me that I had loaded my washer, put the detergent in the dispenser, then decided to wait till later to run the washer. Well, later never came. It's 2AM (insomnia!🙄) and, thanks to you, my laundry is being done now! You're perfect!
Becky loving your channel.A asquick knife tip i was shown.if you keep the tip if the knife on the board when cutting slices and move the knife up and down it is much safer and allows you to cut much quicker and in thinner as you shouldn't slip and keeps your fingers safer.I hope that makes sense😂❤

Thank you for explaining how and why you do your yogurt with raw milk the way you do! Our favorite way of doing yogurt in the Instant Pot: 1. Heat the milk on the “YOGT” setting of the Yogurt button on the IP (using the adjust button) - brings it right to the proper high temp before letting it cool. 2. Cool to 110 and inoculate as you did. 3. Put in 4 wide mouth pints on the low trivet and ferment overnight in the instant pot on the “11:00” time of the Yogurt button setting. I prefer doing it this way because I find that after fermenting/thickening in the IP and cooling the fridge, the yogurt stays the thickest when touch it the least. By having it in 4 pints it allows me to have the thickest, least disturbed yogurt for each serving.
Good afternoon, Becky!! I've been watching your videos for, oh my, a very long time..! I love them! My husband even knows who I mean when I say things like "Becky said or did..."! Thank you so much for your content. I never have to worry about ugly words or inuendos when I'm watching you. I love that! It's good wholesome entertainment and information. I think my favorite stuff is when something goes wrong or you make a mess accidentally. You show us and keep it real. Keep up the good work, and know it's much appreciated from down here in Texas right near the Gulf!
Becky now I am going to have to buy a ninja creami 😊❤ I tell my husband Becky made me buy it lol I see so many things you use that I never thought of looking for on Amazon 😂 I received my flour containers yesterday gifted to me from my daughter . Thank you for all you do 😊❤ big hugs
This year's pantry challenge has brought out the best of your cooking creativity. Your enthusiasm and smarts in using the supplies in your pantry yielded absolutely delicious, exciting hearty dishes. Awesome. It's like every night is "Chopped"! Loved every minute of this, Becky.
I have been making yogurt for about 6 years now. I bring the yogurt to boil and let cool it so that its just warm to the finger. After adding the yogurt i stick it under a blanket. This way I save the energy of my oven as well. Bringing the milk to boil gives me firmer yogurt compared to just warming it. If I have time, I even let the milk to boil a little bit so that a little bit amount of the water in the milk evaporates and this even gives me more firmer yogurt.
Becky: consider grating, dicing, or slicing potatoes to freeze dry. You may at least try it. Dried are great for soups or rehydrating for other dishes.
@@TodaysBibleTruth I blanch mine for couple minutes. Otherwise they go dark. I throw most of mine through the kitchen aid food processor thingy so I get tiny cubes. Done slices and mashed too they all work well.
Yes! I grate potatoes into a bowl of ice cold water with salt, rinse well, squeeze out moisture, and flash freeze on a cookie sheet before placing in ziploc bags to make my own hashbrowns.
KCMO area is 4 degrees with wind and snow flurries on 01/13/24. LOVE Becky video time so much❤! Pantry challenge here is offering rice and bean soup with corn bread for this evening's dinner. Lunch was leftover onion buns toasted with some cheese and already cooked bacon. Love slowly cleaning out the frig, freezer and pantry! Bonus-no store visits in this frigid weather😂😂😂❤!
Hi Becky, next time you forget the yeast, don't incorporate directly to the dough. Instead, make a sponge by adding the yeast to a little bit of flour and water so the yeast blooms properly, then add that mixture to your flour.
Those reusable bags, I found some at Walmart today and bought them. I use the plastic bags for fruit snacks and all kinds of goodies . So thank you for sharing those bags.
Show some love to your cutting boards, a little food safe mineral oil and a rub down will keep them moisturized so they wont crack. Boos blocks makes a cutting board maintenance kit that works wonders. good for all your wooden spoons too !
Hi Becky, if you leave the grill un cleaned (cleaning it before you grill next time), any food left on there can attract rodents and cockroaches. We do a quick clean to make sure there are no food scraps left on the grill (or as we say in Australia: Barbecue) and then clean it again before we cook.
Thank you so being so creative. I love that you utilize leftovers, more ppl needs to stretch food by using them. I know this will be a very successful pantry challenge for you this year.
If I had the Ninja Creami, I myself with the frozen containers I would lay out for about 15 minutes than blend! Be alot smoother! Be like soft serve ice cream! The peaches and cream I would use a immersion blender a bit to combine!
I thought it would share a tip for potato salad that I got from Martha stewart who learned it from her mom. She steams her potatoes instead of boiling them. I started doing this over a year ago and let me tell ya it makes the best texture for potato salad. Creamy and soo.. delicious. Next time you make potato try this tip. I will not go back to boiling potatoes for salad. Goodbye watery and hello creamy.
If you live in PA, you should check out Homegrown Handgathered on UA-cam!! They forage, grow, and hunt much of their food, and every year, they do a challenge to see how long they can survive on that food without supplementing from the grocery store. I live in Texas, so I have a very different climate, but I adore watching their videos nonetheless. 😊🥰
Just got one for Christmas as well and get raw milk from the neighbors with that thick cream on top Yummy!! I am 79 years young and I love to experiment with new recipes. Keep them coming!!
I always watching this, I love Becky, she is very talent cooking, gardening, canning, food saving, etc., I ‘m daef, I ‘m very happy to have her, I can reading the words. 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻😁❤️👍🏻🙏
Thanks to your inspiration, this week I made chili mac, stroganoff, crepes, corn bread chili casserole, mango chicken and sesame rice. Your videos are so morivating!!! I'm loving cooking out of my pantry.
Hello Becky !! Can you do pantry challenges in the winter & summer ?? Why do consecutive months ? Potato Nachos ? Those sound interesting !! Kneading !! Good pun !!
I've been wainting one of those ice cream machines, now I guess because Becky has it, I want it. I also purchased the electric pressure canned because I saw how to use it! Thanks.
You commented that you always turn off your bbq as soon as you take the food off. Good idea. We have always had natural gas bbqs and more than once left it on to, off and the next day we could see the waves of heat coming off the bbq. Then we realized why. It happened once again. We now put a timer on to remind us to turn it off! Love your show.
I am binge watching all your videos... youre so inspirational for me! Being a mom since 6 months now... and i wish to cook and manage everything like you sometime... fascinating i love your videos! Keep up your wonderful work ❤
On the yogurt - you can take a starter from your homemade yogurt and put it in a ziplock in the freezer until you’re ready to make your next batch. Just take it out of the freezer while the milk is heating and by the time it’s cooled to the right temp your starter is thawed and ready to go. Just temper it before you add it. Never have to buy a starter or yogurt again!
Hi Becky. I love my Ninja Creami and the Creami Deluxe. And since you make a lot of cookies like I do, I suggest you try mixing in some of your homemade baked cookies into your ice cream. My siblings and I love mixing in lemon sugar cookies into vanilla ice cream, for example. All the best!
Hello Becky, i'm viewing you from Doha Qatar and i am working in school. I am really loving your ideas of frozen food. You save me lors of time and effort.❤❤❤
Becky I am sure you already know this , but if you cut your potatoes into chunks and just about 1 cup of water you can put them into your instant pot and put it on depending on chunks 4 - 5 minutes and it comes out perfect for potatoe salad also you can do your eggs in there also ..saves so much time 😊😊😊 God bless
In January I use up Whats in the freezer before I can add anything new. I do the same come July. I live by myself so it works out pretty good. Now I’m working on the pantry.
Your potato salad you should cook them with skins on and as soon as there done boiling there easy to peel skins off and if your sauce for potato’s is already prepped you put it on as soon as your done peeling them so it soaks in the warm potato’s ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My parents grew potatoes when I was a kid, don’t know what sort. They stored the potatoes in the basement the whole winter. Didn’t wash them (just cool and dark).They didn’t grow until spring because the weather outside warmed up. It was a great saving since we had potatoes for dinner every day (that how it was 😂). The challenge is fun to follow. 😊😊
My favorite thing to in my creami is frozen berries that I cook down on the stove with orange juice. It tastes just like my favorite store bought sorbet.
Can I just say that I’m so jealous of your milk delivery? I’m old enough to remember when everyone had dairy bins on their porches for delivery. I wish it was offered in my area. I’m going to check again. I would love to support our local businesses like that. Oh my, now I need the creamy thing! Yummy 😋
Great ideas for using up your produce! Canned peaches make great daiquiris! You throw your canned peaches, juice and all into a blender, add rum and ice and blend. They are so yummy and great when you have guests!
I love potato salad and use my grandmothers recipe which is pretty close to yours. One difference is that we added chopped eggs for salad. Another is that I’d like to lighten up the mayonnaise. I wanted to be just a little bit runny so I add milk to the mayo and mix and then the salt, the pepper, all the spices that I’m going to put in. I also think it taste better on the second day, so making it a day before is perfect.
I’m a part time baker and do a LOT of baking from October until end of year. So I take January off completely from baking. So I understand the burn out. Last year I took February off as well
I saw a few of your videos today. I just love it when you say you shop in your pantry! Have you ever thought about making your own apple cider vinegar? I did it the second time in 2023 and today I used up the last of the 2022 batch. I think it is the best product for the least amount of work I do when I preserve apples.
Shred your potatoes, parboil them, then freeze them. Add onion and peppers to some for a deviation. Easy and delicious way for quick and easy hashbrowns.
I plant my green onions in a small pot of damp dirt since the roots are already growing. I've been doing this for years. In the Spring I plant them outside.
I make yogurt all the time in my instant pot. I use fairlife ultra filtered milk and some plain Greek yogurt as a starter. I like my yogurt sweetened, so i add a can of sweetened condensed milk. Yummy
I make yogurt like you do. I've never seen making it the way Becky does it, without ultra filtered milk. When my yogurt is finished, it's super thick, not liquid.
Thank you for your videos, I love watching them. I don't know if you have jar scrapers but they are very handy if you don't want to at water to your dish and still don't waste your efforts. ❤❤❤
Hi my friend! Always so excited to see another Becky ‘movie’ to watch on a lazy Saturday! 👍❤ Hey, can anyone tell me if I’ve missed the video where you’ve shown us how you’ve canned those small jars of peppers for your nachos? I want to do that this summer and want to make sure I use the correct recipe. Thank family! Love to all and happy 2024 everyone! Xoxoxo
We are on week 3 (we had a family Christmas on Jan 6th so we had a late start) It is making us go through the freezer and eat up the items that end up at the back !
Love to see your new videos. I am vegetating indoors, as we are having a massive cold spell in Western Canada right now. Yesterday, it was -35C, today it is only -29C, with a wind chill feeling like -44C. To put it into F, -40C is the same as -40F. That is where the two thermometers meet. 😏
My husband is Moroccan I’d love to make this couscous salad and meatballs for him, it looks super good!! Also where did you get the wooden tops for your jars?
I processed our potato harvest last week. I made dehydrated hashbrowns, dehydrated slices, and then took my largest ones and made double stuffed potatoes! I wrapped them in plastic wrap, put them in ziplock bags, and put them in the freezer!
Loving watching you through this pantry challenge You are encouraging me to consider it for myself. And watching you helps me get through my morning treadmill walk! Win, win!!
Just a thought: If you shake your can of coconut milk prior to opening it, it comes out of the can beautifully. It’s much more satisfying and mixes into your recipes more evenly.
Hey Becky! I have a good potato prep idea for you!! I did this a few weeks ago and it worked great! I made a big bag of potatoes into mashed potatoes with butter, garlic, S&P, just like I would make them normally. Then I scooped them with a cookie scoop and put them in the freezer. Now if anyone in our family wants fast mashed potatoes, just pull out a few of the potato balls and pop in the microwave for a few minutes! Works great! And it would be a great way to use up some of your potatoes 😃😃
Hi Becky, I'm not sure if you've tried it before but the crockpot is the easiest way to make yogurt. You do it on low overnight. It's so simple and delicious 😅
Cooked mashed potatoes can be frozen as well... I have done it as I also love potatoes and mashing them saves time having to do it when I actually need them!
I really enjoy watching your fun homestead adventures and just wanted to thank you for what you do, bringing fun and joy and alot of inspiration. I'm a local and just happened to be at Ross and look over to see Penzeys over Christmas. Thank you and your Mom too for sharing about this place. Keep up the great work!
A lil tip about your prep for when you are baking things. When I went through my culinary classes when we first started out with baking and pastry they had us use prep bowls for each individual ingredient. We would go through and make sure that every individual ingredient went into a bowl and at the end we could go back through the recipe and double check that everything was there so that we didn't miss an ingredient and had the correct amount for everything. I know that's something you struggle with and thought it might be of help. My brain is always going in a hundred different directions and it helps me narrow in on the task and no be disappointed in messing something up.
Wow Becky, look at the number of views on this video. Can't help flash back to when you frist started. You were so nervous and so afraid noone would be interested in watching you. Look at you now! So proud of you. BTW, I caught your first video and haven't missed one yet. Thank you so much for all that you do for us.
Oops! My head must have been stuck in 2023 when I input the date stamps in the video. The dates should be January 2024 (and Jan "3rd" not "3nd")... Hope you all enjoy regardless. 😅
Honestly if you don’t mixup the date at least once after the new year you are a super human 😂

Becky pasteurization is so important to avoid bacteria that exists naturally in cows milk, you dont lose anything from pasteurizing, in fact you avoid e coli
I eat chili Mac and cornbread for breakfast sometimes 🤣
Does anyone else experience a jolt of joy when you see that Becky has uploaded a new video?!? ❤😂
Absolutely!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Definitely! She has inspired me to try so many new recipes and techniques!
Yes! I tell my husband, "Ooh! Becky put out another video! I'm putting in my earbuds!"😂
Yes always but when she doesn't have any videos I get mad because I don't have a recipe for dinner that day
Every single time!!!
My husband is from Egypt and they use Tahini on everything and lemon and vinegar is what makes it not bitter. I learned this from watching
I love tahini, on any kind of kebabs or gyros and on roasted carrots and parsnips.

Hey Becky, the pizza looks yummy, I love caramel onions on my pizza too, I also add sun dried tomato’s and some honey goat cheese. 😀
If I had the Ninja Creami, I myself with the frozen containers I would lay out for about 15 minutes than blend! Be alot smoother! Be like soft serve ice cream! The peaches and cream I would use a immersion blender a bit to combine!
I thought it would share a tip for potato salad that I got from Martha stewart who learned it from her mom. She steams her potatoes instead of boiling them. I started doing this over a year ago and let me tell ya it makes the best texture for potato salad. Creamy and soo.. delicious. Next time you make potato try this tip. I will not go back to boiling potatoes for salad. Goodbye watery and hello creamy.
We have "our challenge" here in PA. Stick to the meal planning, due the prep right away after grocery store, eat what we have in house.
If you live in PA, you should check out Homegrown Handgathered on UA-cam!! They forage, grow, and hunt much of their food, and every year, they do a challenge to see how long they can survive on that food without supplementing from the grocery store. I live in Texas, so I have a very different climate, but I adore watching their videos nonetheless. 😊🥰
It’s amazing how many ways to make potato salad .mine is so much different .
Just got one for Christmas as well and get raw milk from the neighbors with that thick cream on top Yummy!! I am 79 years young and I love to experiment with new recipes. Keep them coming!!
I’m so hungry now! Everything looks so yummy. Thank you once again for a great video. Off to the kitchen now, lol.
I always watching this, I love Becky, she is very talent cooking, gardening, canning, food saving, etc., I ‘m daef, I ‘m very happy to have her, I can reading the words. 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻😁❤️👍🏻🙏
Oh shame, good luck in your life...
God Bless
I love “pantry challenge” style meals. Use up bits that have accumulated in the pantry, fridge, or freezer and turn them into something new.
10:50 you can literally have a year round garden. I’m so envious!!! I live in MN & it’s pretty darn cold right now.
Made the corn dip for a party and served with tortilla chips. It was such a hit!
Can we do a Q&A this new year? Also should mention I’m so excited you decided to do the pantry challenge! Yay thank you !
Thanks to your inspiration, this week I made chili mac, stroganoff, crepes, corn bread chili casserole, mango chicken and sesame rice. Your videos are so morivating!!! I'm loving cooking out of my pantry.
Hello Becky !! Can you do pantry challenges in the winter & summer ?? Why do consecutive months ? Potato Nachos ? Those sound interesting !! Kneading !! Good pun !!
You're amazing!! Love you becky!!
I've been wainting one of those ice cream machines, now I guess because Becky has it, I want it. I also purchased the electric pressure canned because I saw how to use it! Thanks.
You commented that you always turn off your bbq as soon as you take the food off. Good idea. We have always had natural gas bbqs and more than once left it on to, off and the next day we could see the waves of heat coming off the bbq. Then we realized why. It happened once again. We now put a timer on to remind us to turn it off! Love your show.
I am binge watching all your videos... youre so inspirational for me! Being a mom since 6 months now... and i wish to cook and manage everything like you sometime... fascinating i love your videos! Keep up your wonderful work ❤
On the yogurt - you can take a starter from your homemade yogurt and put it in a ziplock in the freezer until you’re ready to make your next batch. Just take it out of the freezer while the milk is heating and by the time it’s cooled to the right temp your starter is thawed and ready to go. Just temper it before you add it. Never have to buy a starter or yogurt again!
Omgggggggggg you just blew my mind with this comment this will save me next summer!! Thank you!
Hi Becky. I love my Ninja Creami and the Creami Deluxe. And since you make a lot of cookies like I do, I suggest you try mixing in some of your homemade baked cookies into your ice cream. My siblings and I love mixing in lemon sugar cookies into vanilla ice cream, for example. All the best!
Happy to see a video today- was worried the power outage in Portland may be affecting you.
Stay safe and warm!
Hello Becky, i'm viewing you from Doha Qatar and i am working in school. I am really loving your ideas of frozen food. You save me lors of time and effort.❤❤❤
Becky I am sure you already know this , but if you cut your potatoes into chunks and just about 1 cup of water you can put them into your instant pot and put it on depending on chunks 4 - 5 minutes and it comes out perfect for potatoe salad also you can do your eggs in there also ..saves so much time 😊😊😊 God bless
In January I use up Whats in the freezer before I can add anything new. I do the same come July. I live by myself so it works out pretty good. Now I’m working on the pantry.
I never used my Ninja Creami. After a year, I gave it to a kiddo, whom aspires to open her own desert shop. She LOVES it!
Nothing wrong with salads for breakfast! I can eat salad 24/7! Lol 😂
Your potato salad you should cook them with skins on and as soon as there done boiling there easy to peel skins off and if your sauce for potato’s is already prepped you put it on as soon as your done peeling them so it soaks in the warm potato’s ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My parents grew potatoes when I was a kid, don’t know what sort. They stored the potatoes in the basement the whole winter. Didn’t wash them (just cool and dark).They didn’t grow until spring because the weather outside warmed up. It was a great saving since we had potatoes for dinner every day (that how it was 😂). The challenge is fun to follow. 😊😊
My favorite thing to in my creami is frozen berries that I cook down on the stove with orange juice. It tastes just like my favorite store bought sorbet.
We received large bags of strawberries and blueberries from the senior program, now I want to make ice cream! Lol
Can I just say that I’m so jealous of your milk delivery? I’m old enough to remember when everyone had dairy bins on their porches for delivery. I wish it was offered in my area. I’m going to check again. I would love to support our local businesses like that.
Oh my, now I need the creamy thing! Yummy 😋
Great ideas for using up your produce! Canned peaches make great daiquiris! You throw your canned peaches, juice and all into a blender, add rum and ice and blend. They are so yummy and great when you have guests!
Great video! One thing I always do when making mashed potatoes or potato salad; I boil them in my chicken stock instead of salted water.
I love potato salad and use my grandmothers recipe which is pretty close to yours. One difference is that we added chopped eggs for salad. Another is that I’d like to lighten up the mayonnaise. I wanted to be just a little bit runny so I add milk to the mayo and mix and then the salt, the pepper, all the spices that I’m going to put in. I also think it taste better on the second day, so making it a day before is perfect.
I would love if you could do a vanilla ice cream with just vanilla and your raw milk.
I'm so going to enjoy this pantry challenge❤👍 thanks for showing us the garden always a pleasure❤
I’m a part time baker and do a LOT of baking from October until end of year. So I take January off completely from baking. So I understand the burn out. Last year I took February off as well
I saw a few of your videos today. I just love it when you say you shop in your pantry! Have you ever thought about making your own apple cider vinegar? I did it the second time in 2023 and today I used up the last of the 2022 batch. I think it is the best product for the least amount of work I do when I preserve apples.
Shred your potatoes, parboil them, then freeze them. Add onion and peppers to some for a deviation. Easy and delicious way for quick and easy hashbrowns.
I think I saw somewhere you need to let the creami mix out of the freezer for 15 min before spinning or you can ruin the blade.
I plant my green onions in a small pot of damp dirt since the roots are already growing. I've been doing this for years. In the Spring I plant them outside.
I make yogurt all the time in my instant pot. I use fairlife ultra filtered milk and some plain Greek yogurt as a starter. I like my yogurt sweetened, so i add a can of sweetened condensed milk. Yummy
I make yogurt like you do. I've never seen making it the way Becky does it, without ultra filtered milk. When my yogurt is finished, it's super thick, not liquid.
@@sandrachristiansen1404 exactly!!
@@cynthiafisher9907 I’m not sure why it needs to be ultra filtered actually.
Thank you for your videos, I love watching them. I don't know if you have jar scrapers but they are very handy if you don't want to at water to your dish and still don't waste your efforts. ❤❤❤
Hi my friend! Always so excited to see another Becky ‘movie’ to watch on a lazy Saturday! 👍❤ Hey, can anyone tell me if I’ve missed the video where you’ve shown us how you’ve canned those small jars of peppers for your nachos? I want to do that this summer and want to make sure I use the correct recipe. Thank family! Love to all and happy 2024 everyone! Xoxoxo
Hi 👋 Becky, from the Florida panhandle.!!
I love watching you!
Excited to see what you're doing today.!!
All so yummy. I have gained so much from your menus. Freezing things I didn’t know you could. So pleased watching your videos. 😊😊
I love your videos . Cause you make easy meals and when you make a mistake it makes me feel okay about me making mistakes
We are on week 3 (we had a family Christmas on Jan 6th so we had a late start) It is making us go through the freezer and eat up the items that end up at the back !
Love to see your new videos. I am vegetating indoors, as we are having a massive cold spell in Western Canada right now. Yesterday, it was -35C, today it is only -29C, with a wind chill feeling like -44C. To put it into F, -40C is the same as -40F. That is where the two thermometers meet. 😏
My husband is Moroccan I’d love to make this couscous salad and meatballs for him, it looks super good!! Also where did you get the wooden tops for your jars?
I processed our potato harvest last week. I made dehydrated hashbrowns, dehydrated slices, and then took my largest ones and made double stuffed potatoes! I wrapped them in plastic wrap, put them in ziplock bags, and put them in the freezer!
I looking forward to the focaccia pizza please post the recipe when you make it. thanks Becky your a pleasure to watch my friend.
I’ve never heard of adding pickled onions and celery to potato salad. Interesting combo!
Lol, whenever I have celery on hand, I think "I should make potato salad".
Loving watching you through this pantry challenge You are encouraging me to consider it for myself. And watching you helps me get through my morning treadmill walk! Win, win!!
Just a thought: If you shake your can of coconut milk prior to opening it, it comes out of the can beautifully. It’s much more satisfying and mixes into your recipes more evenly.
Hey Becky! I have a good potato prep idea for you!! I did this a few weeks ago and it worked great! I made a big bag of potatoes into mashed potatoes with butter, garlic, S&P, just like I would make them normally. Then I scooped them with a cookie scoop and put them in the freezer. Now if anyone in our family wants fast mashed potatoes, just pull out a few of the potato balls and pop in the microwave for a few minutes! Works great! And it would be a great way to use up some of your potatoes 😃😃
Enjoy your weekend with your family . Love from Virginia.
Hi Becky, I'm not sure if you've tried it before but the crockpot is the easiest way to make yogurt. You do it on low overnight. It's so simple and delicious 😅
Cooked mashed potatoes can be frozen as well... I have done it as I also love potatoes and mashing them saves time having to do it when I actually need them!
With the coconut milk if you shake the can really good before you open it, it will mix back together versus having it separated.
I really enjoy watching your fun homestead adventures and just wanted to thank you for what you do, bringing fun and joy and alot of inspiration. I'm a local and just happened to be at Ross and look over to see Penzeys over Christmas. Thank you and your Mom too for sharing about this place. Keep up the great work!
A lil tip about your prep for when you are baking things. When I went through my culinary classes when we first started out with baking and pastry they had us use prep bowls for each individual ingredient. We would go through and make sure that every individual ingredient went into a bowl and at the end we could go back through the recipe and double check that everything was there so that we didn't miss an ingredient and had the correct amount for everything. I know that's something you struggle with and thought it might be of help. My brain is always going in a hundred different directions and it helps me narrow in on the task and no be disappointed in messing something up.
Wow Becky, look at the number of views on this video. Can't help flash back to when you frist started. You were so nervous and so afraid noone would be interested in watching you. Look at you now! So proud of you. BTW, I caught your first video and haven't missed one yet.
Thank you so much for all that you do for us.
