Glad to see I’m not the only one on earth who loves Brussel sprouts! 😊😊😊
Garlic infused oil should be kept refrigerated. :) You have inspired me to start using my freezer more efficiently so thank you very for that!!!!!
Does anybody else love the way that Becky looks at josh when he is trying something she has prepared with love? You can really tell it is her love language and makes her so happy to care for her husband and be so giving of her time and energy to give to others in this way 🥰 so so sweet
yes so true
I noticed that 🙂
I noticed that as well. She looks at him with such love.
That's when I paused and came to comment the same! Also she is glowing in this video!!!
Also, he seems very proud of HER. Shows support and affection on those rare appearances.
Hi Becky!
I’m French and when something is said to be “confit” it means that, for preservation purposes, something has been cooked slowly and for a long time in grease, oil, or sugared water. “Confit” in itself does not mean grease, it’s what the process is called (comes from the verb: confir) ^^
Fun fact, here we call fruit jam “confiture” but these are not to be mistaken with “fruits confits” which basically are candied fruits.
Not sure it was relevant to share all this but 🤷🏼♀️😄 (edit: especially since in the meantime someone explained the “confit” as well !)
Love watching your videos and “spending time” with you you’re a true inspiration 🤗
But you explained it so well!
Aren’t you supposed to fill up the jar full with the oil - that way it doesn’t go bad..? Mean the garlic confit.. the only reason something goes bad in oil when you preserve is if it’s not filled up and there is air to the thing you want to preserve..
@@melindawargowsky8176 aw thanks !!
Thanks for sharing, I love learning these types of things
I know nothing about canning, but could you pressure can the garlic confit and have it shelf stable? I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos and wonder if you happen to need a live-in nanny. I would work for your cooking. ;-)
Becky, I love how Josh always says thank you when you prepare something. My husband has always done that too. My father was a great guy, but I never heard him say that to Mother and she would always cater to his taste buds. It just is nice to see good values in such a "take it for granted" society. Love it!
My husband always thanks me for ‘whatever meal’ too. Even if it’s something super simple. It warms my heart.
@@CatherineShoresHMN That is so nice!
My husband always thanks me for a meal too! It’s so sweet and I have never witnessed that either. Even if it’s a sandwich or a pre-made dinner he thanks me!
Hubby tells me thank you & I do same when he cooks, it's just nice that recipient's appreciates the meal
@@CatherineShoresHMN thank
Becky, I just moved two hours away from home to a new town for my husband’s job where I don’t know anyone and I work remotely so I’m on my own a lot.
Having your videos on in the background while I’m doing things around the house really makes me feel like I’m hanging out with a friend and so I feel less alone.
Thank you for being you! ❤
I hope you’ll get to know people in your new town and won‘t feel as lonely!❤
I do the same while working or wear my bois and stick her in my pocket doing chores. You can save the video to refer back too later.
Becky always makes my day.
How lonely that is but it is up to you to go out and find new friends. We are out here and will so enjoy having a new friend! 😉👍
@@pjk1714 What is a bois?
So yesterday I canned for the first time…applesauce in my new electric canner (bought because of watching Becky). 7 jars…1 didn’t seal. Was a nervous wreck at first, but proud of my first project! Today I made coleslaw using my food processor (new) bought thru Becky’s link. You get what you pay for! Best results I’ve had with any processor! I’m afraid my husband will ban this channel 😅. But he likes the results, so I doubt it! 67 and still learning new tricks🎃. (Learning, not turning.)
Luv your learning not turning you and I share a similar sense of humor and ate 64. lol
You’re never too old to have a sense of humor. Mom still had it at 94😊
Melinda, I was rooting for you and celebrating with you as I read your comment. And then, a real treat at the end - your last little quip cracked me up! 🤣😂 thanks for the belly laugh! 😁
I'm sure you're getting a gazillion bits of unsolicited baby advice, but I'm still going to add my $.02 worth, lol. If you keep doing all of your normal daily routine (noisy) things, ie: drumming, vacuuming, kitchen clanking, dogs barking, talking, etc; when Baby is first brought home, it'll be easier (in the long run) for them to sleep through the ever-present noises of life... And you won't feel like you have to tiptoe through eggshells at naptime ☺. Honestly, the things they're hearing now, are the things they'll be comforted hearing later. Good luck, Friend.
You can turn the roasted garlic into a purée and make a Garlic Aoli dip/sauce by adding it to Mayo & lemon juice. It’s amazing on crispy Brussel sprouts / breakfast burritos/ quesadillas / sandwiches/ fries etc the list goes on. But it’s amazing! Refrigerator life of the sauce is 7 days!
Edited to add the recipe I use in my restaurant kitchen.
Roasted Garlic Aioli
INGREDIENTS
2 cups Mayonnaise
4 tbsp Roasted garlic puree
2 tbsp Lemon juice
METHOD
1. Place mayonnaise, roasted garlic puree and lemon juice in a mixing bowl.
2. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
3. Transfer to an airtight container with a rubber spatula.
4. Cover, label, date and refrigerate for up to 7 days.
I once cooked garlic confit at a party. Used half butter & half olive oil, plus a good pinch of salt. And only enough fat to cover the garlic cloves. I took a couple of loaves of French bread so people could rip off a chunk and dunk it every time they walked by. Huge hit. =)
The garlic confit can also be frozen in a zip top bag in a thin flat layer so that you can just break off as much as you need at a time. (I’m only cooking for one, so this works well for me. )
There are only two of us so this would work well. Thank you for your comment❤️
Thank you so very much! Garlic oil and bread for dipping! Heaven
What a great idea!
Great comment and information. Thank you for that tip.
Thank you! 😃
I just noticed - I have been smiling through out this video. Becky, you truly are a gem💎. Thank you and best wishes from Finland 🇫🇮
Floor looks awesome. Hash looks yummy
I find myself smiling with every single video!
My husband is from Finland!!
Me too! Love from South Africa x
Hi, I’m in Finland also! Love Becky’s Channel
My little 3 year old daughter loves watching your videos with me. She will ask is that Becky, mama. She loves your nails. She just seems so relaxed watching. It makes my heart happy. So thank you.
I have just had an extremely difficult day dealing with some health issues and things and I needed to just stop and take a breather from everything going on and I can't even begin to tell you how thankful I am every time I see a new video pop up from you. It's the smallest things, but you have no idea how cozy and safe it makes me feel every time I hear 'hey friends..' I struggle with depression and it makes it hard to want to cook for myself, but your recipe videos always keep me engaged and give me just that little extra push I need to get in the kitchen myself. I'm going to have to try confit garlic for myself now, it looks so great! Thank you for always being that calming presence for me on UA-cam.
Taylor - me too! She gives such energy and I find myself jumping up and grabbing things to do in the kitchen while she's talking! And I feel accomplished and not one bit tired! She has me prepping and preserving my harvests and doing quick cleanups throwing everything in my dishwasher and moving forward quickly, but calmly. I LOVE watching her to get me motivated. I can do something for someone else and that brings joy! May you be blessed today and everyday that you put one foot forward to walk out of the pits of depression!
Hi Taylor my name is Jacky I’m 66 years old and I suffer from depression and agoraphobia and emphysema so like you I don’t feel like cooking much or anything else for that matter but watching Becky‘s videos like you said to me its A perk me up makes you want to try things for me anyway I think I want to try this recipe I hope you’re feeling better❤ Sending good health positive thinking and a hug a new friend Jacky from Montreal
Becky, I cannot express enough how valuable you are to me. Having the opportunity to learn so much about being self-sufficient with gardening and preserving is amazing but learning to cook with what comes out of your garden is priceless. It is such a joy after a long day at work to come home, pour a glass of wine and watch your videos. Hands down you are the best UA-cam channel for Homesteading. Blessings sent your way every single day!
I love that very pleased and happy look you get whenever Josh likes the food you've cooked for him. I recognize the feeling.🥰 There's nothing better than feeding you family with food they enjoy.
I think we can all agree that Josh is a very well-fed husband. (And deservedly so, clearly.)🥰
Hi Becky, ever since I was a child, (I'm 74 now), whenever a meal was made out of a variety of leftovers, we called it: "make 'em eat it". When asked: "what's for dinner?" The answer is "make 'em eat it." My husband's favorite meals are "make 'em eat it" LOL We both love your videos and have tried your recipes. Thank you for all of your loving work.
I was just thinking we used to call this type of meal "goop 'n sloop". Have no idea where it comes from, but it was always delicious and made of leftovers and cooks inspiration!
I used to tell the kids we were having Go for yourself, or gopher.
Every time I make up something out of leftovers I call it "what you see is what you get." 😄
We call this meal musgo.... As in everything in the fridge mus' go!
Refridgerator stoop is what we called our end of the week leftovers. We also had a whatever you want night. Where you crests your own meal out of leftovers.
Becky I just have to tell you that I cringed when you were walking down the stairs handrails are your best friend it is a good habit to use them especially being pregnant and when carrying the baby when it arrives. Safety first sorry but I'm a great grandma and I worry.
I have to agree with this comment. I should have been the second born child. The first, well my mom didn't use the handrails. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer just trying to share for preventions sake. Thank you so very much for sharing your life with us. I've learned so much. Blessings from my home to yours.
I fell down a small flight out of my apartment when I was pregnant too. Luckily everything was fine and it scared me more than hurt me, baby was fine, neighbors were a little freaked, but it was scary and I didn't make that mistake again the rest of that pregnancy or the subsequent ones.
Me too!!
Thank you for this comment, I was about to post the same thing. I held my breath the whole time. Being so grandma of 7 I tend to do that a lot🤣🤣🤭❤
@@ashleyashcraft1754 as did I when I was pregnant and was put on bed rest for the remaining 4 months of my pregnancy due to falling partway down the stairs.. I grabbed the railing as I was falling and shook by entire body and caused the muscles in my abdomin to tear. By the grace of God my son was born full term without issues.
Becky PLEASE hold on to the railing sweet friend!
For getting a low, even heat on a gas hob, you could look into getting a simmermat. It's a kind of cast iron disc with raised areas that distributes heat more evenly to the bottom of your pots and pans. I have one that I like to use for stews, because the gas even on the lowest setting's direct heat still tends to burn a spot at the bottom of the stew. If you do lots of low and slow type dishes on the gas hob I think it may be a worthwhile investment.
I learned about those from my grandma! They're traditional here in the Netherlands for anything you want to simmer on a low heat for hours on end, including soups.
My grandma used the same process on her electric stove. My grandma learned to cook on a wood stove and afterwards an electric stove!
@@inelouw They really are fantastic! A life saver when you cook on a gas hob.
You can also do confit in the oven for surrounded heat, very low.
I need to get one today these for my friend for Christmas! Thank you! Great idea, and suggestion!
The wind and rain outside makes this video even more cozy! 😅 haha! Excited to watch- always love “spending time” with you, Becky 😊❤
A cup of coffee while watching would have been great! Though it's in the 70's here..ha
70’s sound wonderful… it is currently 4° here in Alaska 😬
Confit is a traditional French cooking method, and originally referred to anything preserved by slowly cooking it in any liquid. Garlic Confit is made as you are doing. I LOVE garlic and eat a clove of garlic daily. I absolutely love your house and all the effort you and Josh have put into it. I can't wait until next spring to see the outside garden and what landscaping you do!!
Do you make brick chicken?
U inspire me Becky every day. Every day some new recipes. The floor looks awesome. Great vlog. And u are positively glowing. .
The wood inserts in the floor look wonderful!
@@sandrajohnson9926 I would love to know what that is!
I highly recommend getting a Roomba for your wood floors. It won’t fall down steps and you can train it not to cross certain thresholds. A big time saver and your floors can always be clean if you run it daily. Docks itself back onto the charging station, too. We had one with 5 dogs on the farm and it made a big difference.
i would be afraid the cat will barf when i`m not at home and i would come home to barf smeared all over. Hence i vacuum
French tip for No-peel garlic : we often cook the clove in the skin, for example in you chicken thigh recipe... Then once cooked the fun it to press out the puree garlic out with a fork. Basically you confit your garlic directly while cooking.
Becky, you’re so inspirational ! I know you have said that you minimize your home and lifestyle since your channel is gardening and cooking BUT, Your home projects, Josh’s input and the blessing of a new life just complete the whole package. Thank you for sharing your life.
Oh Becky ❤️ as a mom of 3 I can tell that you are near the end of your pregnancy…..the breathlessness is a real thing! Third trimester always left me breathless
Hi Becky, you call that ‘hash’ - in the UK it’s called ‘bubble and squeak’!!!😊 traditionally, it’s eaten on Dec 26th with all the leftover veggies from Xmas day. It’s one of my absolute faves!
My grandmother made bubble n squeak as well, she was from lymington
Becky, I love your videos. My husband and I can always watch your channel with the comfort of knowing you aren't going to curse or have any inappropriate content (which is hard to find sometimes) . Even when you are really enjoying something really tasty, I love that you say oh my goodness, or say other great describing words instead of some other phrases that could be offensive to some. You are beautiful and wholesome and I really appreciate you. ❤
Becky is one of my two favorite vloggers, and this is a large part of why.
EXACTLY! Those who use such profanity are said (by me) to be vocabulary challenged. 😊 She serves a greater audience than the general public, it’s obvious. ❤
You’re wonderful Becky don’t listen to some of those comments and get discouraged you do the best you can and you’re wonderful I love your biscuits I made them for the third time my husband loves them thank you for the recipe in scratch bakery
Hi Becky,
Your confit garlic looks delicious, and I don't even like garlic. 🤭
It's always so much fun to spend time with you in the kitchen.
I'm tube fed, can't eat and I'm bed ridden. Your video's are really a highlight of my day. Taking away all my troubles for a little hour.
The repaired floor looks amazing, and I'm very curious how everything will look when the doors are in.
Josh is very skilled that he can do all that by himself!
Have a wonderful day!
Saying hi from the Netherlands 🤗 🇳🇱
Ilona, what a wonderful outlook you have under such circumstance. To be able to enjoy others endeavors and to encourage others is truly an admirable gift.
🙏
@@Martha-vx8bj Thank you so much for your kind words! That means so much to me. ❤️
@@jacquelineiversen5661 ❤️
What a sweet spirit you have! I hope you are feeling well and thank you for the kind reminder to appreciate all of the things!
I use my garlic confit to rub down a chicken before roasting. I think I’m going to do the turkey at thanksgiving. So good.
Becky,
I grew leeks this year in my garden. So easy. I just direct sowed the seeds. I was so proud of myself.
Wow, the old doors can be reused for the base of your new green house. I saw this done on Hop a long hollow by Jeri.
The look on your face as your talk to Josh is so precious. Lots of love going on there.
Ooh love garlic oil. But be careful it only lasts about 7-10 days in tge fridge. It can develop botulism.
I love watching you watch your husband when he's eating your cooking. I can see the joy on your face. It warms my heart?. Thanks for sharing.
I love the look on your face when you are patiently waiting for Josh to give a review. Not that you need him to tell you it’s good (because you already know it’s good 😂) but because how much you love him and how happy it makes you to cook from scratch and provide that to your husband! I do the same look 😊and my husbands name is Josh as well, made me smile too!
P.s. wish I could smell that garlic!!
I am so thankful that you and Josh are sharing your lives as an example of hard work paying off and being rewarded by all the things that have come to you as a result of your hard work. Congratulations on your new home, successful UA-cam channel, and the new little one coming soon to your home. You two are so blessed for blessing others with your everyday lives. ❤️❤️
7:05 the floor looks great! I think having the lower transition strip is a great idea! Also a wheeled basset is a wonderful thing!
Yes it really does. We had the transition strips taken out also. We are getting up in age and felt we might trip on them. Very happy with results.
Bluebird homestead
Becky: Put leaks, onions and then add pickled onions on top! LOL I have tried most of your savory recipes and love them! You cook like I do, never enough garlic or onions! And I truly cannot get enough of how you two look at each other. Pure adoration and love. :)
Hey Becky!! Just wanted to tell you are definitely glowing! So happy for you!
You could always freeze dry the green part of the leeks and make some onion type powder! I do that with my leeks and the flavor is amazing!
I made your garlic oil, it really is so good! Thank you for showing us how to make it! It's so easy!
Love you mixing up the leftovers to make a new meal! You are very creative!
Thanks for the tip to put the garlic in smaller containers and to freeze!!
The hash looked incredible! Hope you are sitting down with your feet up! You deserve it girl!
Hi Becky. I am also a GGMa and I have the same concern for your safety, on the stairs and obstacles up stairs. Sweetie…. We Care !!!
Loved this video, you just never cease to amaze me !
The fun fact today, seeing the drums and learning that Josh is a drummer. Take Care, Stay Safe and God Bless. 🙏🏻
( I know baby due early December, I would be tickled for the 4th… my BDay).
You could turn those potatoes when they were still warm into a mashed potato with the onions and the garlic that would’ve been yummy too
We did our floors 4 years ago and one of my requirements was no unneeded transition strips. We had all the same floors put on our first floor and several contractors wanted to put strips at each door. I love not having those strips where the rooms change.
That is because using strips makes it easier for them. I agree with you. Should have flow.
I bought the silicone Souper Cubes to help with my freezer storage. One of the trays allows you to freeze small quantities. They are various sizes that you can purchase.I have been using that to store fresh herbs that I put in oil. Once they are frozen, you can pop it out of the Souper Cube and then just fill a freezer bag. No worrying about glass.
Use them all the time for stock, sauces, soups in 1 cup cubes. They’re great!!
I put mashed fruit in them, freeze and then use one cube in my bowl of oatmeal for breakfast.
I use them all the time. The cubes save so much space in my small freezer.
Hi Becky, I’ve been watching your kitchen and home adventures for awhile and I love them! I am a New Zealander and My daughter and I talk about how wonderful and truly genuine you are…….. you would fit well in our little country. We love that you are down to earth and show real life stuff! Keep up the good work. Love from your fans ‘Down Under’xxoo
Love your videos.
The garlic needs to be well submerged in oil at all time. This prohibits the forming of mold.
Usually there is also some thyme, rosemary, peppercorns and salt added to the oil and garlic.
So agree that Brussels sprouts and balsamic go hand in hand! My favorite way to make sprouts is with minced onion, bacon and finished off with a good balsamic vinegar
When Becky's eyebrows go up when she taste something , You know its good ! :) Everything looks like it turned out great , thanks for sharing your kitchen cooking with all of us .
I love when her facial expressions show how good the good is! So sweet!
Becky, are you working on the nursery? Just wondering when you are expecting. So excited for you. Would love to see your hair down. I really enjoy all the energy you have in the kitchen. Thanks for explaining and demonstrating all the new things.
early December - the room they want to set up as a nursery is on the first floor and is currently set up as Josh's office. He can't move upstairs until all the steps she mentioned in the video are completed...they were waiting on the doors to get started. Once the upstairs reno is completed, he can move his office upstairs and they will work on the nursery. She's a minimalist so it's not going to be an elaborate set-up from what she described.
Becky, you get such joy watching Josh enjoy your food.
Good call Becky...fixing the transition strip. At my age I unfortunately feel every uneven floor. Eventually it could become a trip hazard. Toddlers would also have struggled with it too. You and Josh are making your home beautiful and functional for a family of three.
I am always overwhelmed by how much energy you have especially being pregnant! I loved everything you made today. The garlic simmered in oil is great. We eat quite a few left over meals but I never think of making a mixture of Left overs. I am going to do that more often instead of wasting food that goes bad in the fridge! I so enjoyed being with you today. 💕
You and Josh are so artistic in your own craft, you in the garden and the kitchen and Josh with his attention to detail when he does his trim work. What a perfectly balance set of skills.
Because of your channel, I have gotten braver about flavors. I recently made a baked baby bella mushroom dish that my mom begged me for more, so I doubled the recipe last night, and it was so good. I don't grow my own produce, but I look for deals now, and think what might taste great together. So, thank you for helping to inspire me to try things again!
Looks delicious Becky. You are absolutely glowing! So glad you got the floor fixed and had the forsight to level out between the doors. You will be so glad that you did that once baby is here. Hopefully he/she will be a heavy sleeper and your roll around bassinet works as planned. Take care and God bless.
In the UK when we use potatoes and a green veg fried we call it bubble and squeak. It's a great way to use left overs. By the way I love watching you in the kitchen you are an inspiration 👍
Preserving garlic! Nice! I planted mine today. 134 total cloves of 5 types of hardneck and 87 of 2 types of softneck. 221 total.
Time flies so fast whenever I watch your vlog and sometimes I don’t want it too end lol. That’s how much I enjoy watching your videos and because I learned a lot.
Those confit garlic looks yummy and a great pair for the bread.
You are such a precious and beautiful soul! I don’t know how your channel came up for me but I’m so glad it did. Your joy is contagious and you motivate me to be a better wife - bet you didn’t think your channel would be doing that. 😉
I love you, Becky❣️ Those eyes❣️ Your eyes say so much. I love all the tips you add along the way so we can do some things & do it easier.
PS I agree with the great grandmother who wants you to make use of the handrail. I'm sure you are aware that the baby has changed your center of balance. Nuff said. 😍
.I took leftover homemade chili from last night and made stacked enchiladas for tonight. My husband said that I out did myself. The enchiladas were yummy! I also made apple crisp from scratch. Thanks for sharing your homemade dinner!
I love looking out of your window while you're cooking. It reminds me of my grandmother and being at her house!! 🥰🥰❤❤
Oh Becky the flooring looks awesome! the hubs (Mark) has been replacing ours for the past 2 years and we almost have the upstairs complete!!! Gonna try making my own confit this year too WOOT WOOT! I had same idea for a "party" only mine is gonna be a LOOFAH or LUFFA peeling party!!! Grew only 4 plants and they not only completely covered one cattle panel arch, but also went down our fence above the sweet potatoes another 20 feet! oh and the yellow flowers of the Loofah were so pretty next to our purple sweet potato flowers! I'm thinking we need to convince future dad Josh to give us a drum solo at some point! Josh would you, could you, in your new house??? (need to start getting those nursery rhymes in your head LOL) Drums were always my favorite to watch/listen :) Love y'all, Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I think those transition strips (aka Threshholds) are to prevent drafts from to room to room, along with dust.
Becky, your videos are such a joy to see pop up! Not only do I find your videos a lovely break from my day I love to read what ll your listeners have to say. What a lovely virtual group of friends you have gathered together!
❤🎉
I recently discovered your channel and just love it! The hash looks amazing. It's a great reminder to be creative with whatever is in your kitchen. I buy bulk garlic once a year from California. I chop it up in my food processor, lay it flat in a freezer bag and freeze it. It's really easy to just break off as much as needed. Nothing like garlic!!
Oh Becky, you are so much fun!!! Thank you for sharing. I love your shenanigans!!! And your interactions with Josh. Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives. You're a wonderful addition to mine!!!!!
Can't wait to see the rest of the house. So excited for you and josh. Be blessed Beckie. I kept saying Beckie pay attention coming down those stairs.
I’ve been able to store garlic confit in my fridge for months with no molding or other problems…what I do differently is make sure the garlic is completely covered in the oil. That hash looked delicious! Definitely adding something like that into the meal plan :)
Brussels sprouts ,asparagus, red onion and bacon cook together add balsamic yummo. Perfect for the holidays! Your looking great! My last month of pregnancy I looked like something the dog dragged in. Thanks for the posts!!
I've done garlic confit in a Crockpot. It goes all day on high and you don't have to worry about it burning. And yes, it's a powerful smell so it gets plugged in on the patio table.
Josh needs a "Official Taste Tester" t-shirt or sweatshirt. Love how you two interact with each other!!! Cute couple!!!!
Lol I love how we just see his hand!
You're looking great..won't be too long until that precious baby arrives.
Josh has done a beautiful job on the finish work. Thanks for sharing your skills. Love your recipes.
I make my garlic confit with clarified butter and store it with enough of the butter to cover the cloves. Because butter solidifies in the fridge it also helps it not mold and it last a lot longer then if you store it in liquid fat.
The floor fix is perfect. Smart thinking on the door transition also! Door for all your closets help keep dust off the items on your shelves so smart to order the doors. Your hash looks wonderful and sounds yummy! Glad you showed how you used leeks and made the hash!
You can also the garlic confet in the oven at 200 for a couple of hours
Thank you so much for a house update! Everything looks so amazing, you’ve both done such a great job! ♥️
My tip for getting toasty, caramelized Brussels sprouts is to put your pan in the oven when you start heating the oven. Then, put the sprouts on the really hot pan cut-side down. It really makes a difference and it isn't any more work.
Becky, you always make me smile watching you cook. Seeing the weather outside your window made your hash seem like the perfect meal. I was hoping to hear how your cute Halloween treats were liked by your family! ❤
I have to tell you I made that chicken for my husband and he and I love it! Thank you 😊 I'm old and sometimes find it hard to find something new to cook I am so very grateful 🙏
A large pitcher would be great to fill your jars with the oil, love your videos.
One tip for keeping the confit garlic from molding is to cover it FULLY with the oil. I do this whenever my big bag of garlic from Costco 👍 is nearing it's end, I roast it up in the oven, pour into a jar, cover it with olive oil and into the fridge it goes. The oil prevents the garlic from touching the air which is what causes mold and it stays good for MONTHS!! Give it a try!
Love watching you throw things together; I do the same with any leftovers and it comes out delicious. Truley grateful for you taking the time to create these videos and spending time with each of us in our kitchens. 🙂❤
Hi Becky you said one day soon you were going to remodel your kitchen and as I watch you work ,can ,cook ex,ex it looks like it's working very well for you and it's beautiful to the way you put your jars of spices and your fruit and veggies on the shelf I'm loving it.your home is coming along nicely your floors the lights and can't wait to see the new doors put in and then the trim. I know your channel is a lot of hard work and I have to tell you from my point of watching it that I look forward every day to learning new things I must say great job to you I can't wait every day to sit and injoy my time with you i,m so happy for you and your little family .I look at time well spent and so educational and so professional I can't wait until tomorrow. great job Becky and thank you so much for all you do
Hi Becky , you can also freeze the garlic in ice cube trays. This way you can have one serving little squares.
The floor is perfect Becky; good call on the replacing the transition strips in the doorways!
Becky you were so smart to have those areas fixed flat in your doorways. I've actually tripped over them and broken my toes. I love making hash. Another meat I use making hash is left over pot roast and corned beef. Placing a fried egg on top of the hash adds a little extra something.
my hubs adds poached eggs to the tops of his hash. I like to make breakfast hash: eggs, potatoes, bacon, cheese. with a slice of english muffin bread.
Becky thank you for another great video. I look forward to your videos and really feel like you are speaking to each and everyone of us when you say “bye friend” 😊
Confire means to preserve by submerging something and add to its taste. In English it is often used to refer to cooking something low and slow in fat (duck confit is a delicious example of that), but it doesn't have to be submerged in fat. In fact you can confit things in sugar, jams in French is confitures and there are also confit fruits and ginger.
Becky I also reuse jar lids like you did, but to remove the writing on those lids just wipe them off with an alcohol wipe. It cleans all the sharpie ink right off.
Thank you! I have been wanting to see the floor repair in the living room forever! It does look good. It is not how I envisioned it, but they did a good job as well as the transitions being leveled. Smart idea!
The food looks great. I get a kick out of watching you season stuff. It looks like way more than I would, but you do so enjoy it. I hope the door project goes smoothly. Y'all are up to so much more than I would be doing. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Becky….I have made the garlic infused oil many many times. I put my garlic cloves in a 9x13 casserole dish, cover with olive oil….cover with parchment and then with aluminum foil. I bake mine in a 350 degree oven for about an hour. The cloves get soft and slightly browned and the oil is infused. It is so much easier than having to watch and stir on top of the stove. Love watching you and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of your precious baby!
Yet again, I am learning something new from you! I love your videos, your knowledge, and willingness to share your time in the kitchen (mostly) with us! I look forward to your videos! Thank you!
Hi, I have been watching since earlier this year. Loving the tips and love your journey, its so sweet you sharing with us all. Well tonight here in Scotland I made your 'hash' well of course it was a winner!!! My husband and I had it with a slice of fresh homemade, wholemeal bread. Delish!! Keep well and thanks again xx
Yay! A Becky video!! Woo Hoo!
I’m definitely someone who doesn’t like leftovers. My son and partner love them so I always have something to feed my guys but what I try to do is to have a “round 2 and round 3” recipe to make with leftovers. A pork butt roast is a fine example. Round 1, delicious pork roast, round 2 is a barbecue pork sandwich or stuffed baked potato and round 3 is maybe a barbecue flatbread pizza. I’ve also made empanadas with the leftover roast by giving it some Latin love. You can also make the Mexican soup. All are delicious. With my leftover roast chicken I often make chicken pot, chicken pot chicken pot pie. LoL Aging myself with that quote. 😉
You can put a fried egg over that hash and call it a very hardy breakfast.
Have I missed the part where you process your ferments?🤔 Making the hot sauces? I think I have watched all your videos without falling asleep🤣 (always end my days with watching youtube).. can't wait for the garden "renovation" 🤩
Becky because of you I made confit garlic and YUM! I’ve been making popcorn with the garlic infused oil and it’s AMAZING.
Hi Becky! Thank you for the inspiration. I have made many hashes with leftover meats and potatoes, but never thought to use hamburger. And since I just bought leeks at the farmers market on Saturday, I decided that’s what’s for dinner tonight. I did not have “leftover” potatoes, so cooked some carrots, potatoes and garlic in the pressure cooker in beef broth first and added them last. It came out Amazing!
I confirm, "confit" is a French word and means not only gently cooked in fat but the word "confiture" is to say "jam" in USA, means gently cooked in sugar.
Just in case you didn't know, but the garlic puree that can be made with the garlic confit is a great dewormer for animals but also for humans.... My cats love garlic puree. garlic...

@The Aussie Family For information my cats eat something other than garlic and I treat my cats with garlic puree only when they have worms and even then I only give them a hint of garlic and that is far 30g doses of garlic that are potentially deadly.
We have to stop panicking people like that without giving precise information.
Curare is deadly and yet it is used every day in operating rooms.
You have to know how to keep reason in everything.
Also good for chickens! Natural antibiotics, in their water and food
Hi Becky, love all the content you put out. Brings me joy! I work in the flooring industry and just wanted to make sure you’re aware the reason they often put transitions at doorways is because the flooring needs room to expand when the temperature or moisture fluctuates in the home. Removing the transitions is generally ok and definitely looks and feels better but can cause your floor to buckle in some instances. Flooring manufacturers will void any warranty for not adding them appropriately.
I’m sure it will be fine in your case, and honestly I would take the chance as well. I hate the bump between rooms! I just wanted to let you know why people do opt to put them in sometimes.
I enjoyed this time in your kitchen again and seeing your other projects !! !! That hashed looked so good and the garlic oil!!
