It's easy to see why your channel has grown so quickly. You just have so much energy and are so energetic with everything you do. I've said it before but I absolutely look forward to all of you videos. You just so sweet and just a breath of fresh air 💕
She is the best ! Love watching her!
IKR?! She was just at 100,000 a couple of months ago, and now she’s closing in on 150,000! 😀👍🏼
I agree. You just feel like your her neighbor when watching her!
This is so very true!
I totally agree. I enjoy her videos so much. Love the cooking part of it. I ordered the test kitchen book and am enjoying it. Thanks for sharing your life with us!!
Life's better when you upload!!
Ty for all the like y'all 🙇
Agree! ❤
I love her videos too from Bedfordshire uk xx
Couldn’t agree more 👍 Let’s get cooooooosy 🍁🍂😁/Sweden
RE freezing stock or broth - Freeze it in ice cube trays! Then, once frozen, put the cubes in a freezer bag. The trays I use are 1 oz cubes so easy to measure and then you don't have to thaw them, just drop the cubes, pre-measured into your application.
Good tip thank you
I do the same thing with the ice cube trays for herbed butters, freezing herbs that I use in soups and such. Saves on so much thawing.
A day spent with Becky is a learning experience, you always learn something that you didn't know or were afraid to try. 🙋♀️💜😁
😂😂😂😂
I don’t know what this person’s laughing that is so true at least for me
@@valeriewatkins9112 laughing because it's true 🙄
I hate how productive she is because it means I have a lot to aspire to. 😅🤣
Every time I eat an apple now I think about all the apple peels she used to make cider. 🍎
@@zaria5785 exactly!!! 🤣😩😭
I can’t tell you how much I look forward to your videos!
All the way from a very wet and miserable day in Manchester, England x
She is great.
I look forward to them as well. She's just a breath of fresh air.
Watching from Yorkshire and I look forward to them, too! Would love to have Azure Standard or something like it over here.
@@homefarmgarden6214 me too. A uk azure would be great. Would love to buy in bulk here😁
Before I can or preserve anything from the garden, I need to bottle up whatever it is that gives you so much energy. I know this is edited, but what you get done in a day is amazing and inspiring! If I 'had the house to myself', my first instinct is to put my feed up with a good book, lol...
Exactly how I feel. I feel like she can get so much done, meanwhile I can barely get dinner cooked and the house cleaned with my toddler 😬
Me : doing literally anything
notification for acre homestead new video..
Me: Stops all things to watch it.
Becky is the homesteading big sister I always wanted. Even though I’m pretty sure we’re the same age… it’s more that I just look up to her and am always inspired when she post.
Something that a family friend from Julian, San Diego mentioned for me. Her family has been growing, canning, and preserving for bulk sale for generations. She mentioned that running the mason jars through the dishwasher sterilized the cans before use, this will expedite the process. She also mentioned that as long as the contents were boiling hot before inserting in the jar, you could essentially skip the water bath as long as you flip them upside down. The tops will create the pressurized seal and the heat will kill off anything that may also be inside.
I must say that I really enjoy watching your videos. The one thing that I've learned from you is how to multitask. I can multitask however your thought process is awesome. Because you tend to organize yourself first. It's like a dance that you perform when you're in the kitchen. Thanks for your inspiration!
If you have JoAnn’s craft store, our always carries Ball Jars.. all shapes and sizes. They are always there because that’s the last place canning people check is a craft store…nothing food related there. :) I enjoy your videos. :)
Thx for the tip!!
I haven’t even pressed PLAY yet lol I’m just excited for the video being up.
Let’s go! ☕️ 🍂
I thought I was the only one who looks forward to seeing a new video from Becky!!! She just makes my day.
@@jenniferjuranko1617 It’s so relaxing for me. I follow a few Homesteading/Hoodsteading channels but this one seems the most doable. I’ll be set to make my own yogurt soon and planning an apple crisp for Wednesday night. Becky is encouraging in many ways.
@@hopedeclared3673 I agree! Becky is my favorite homesteader on UA-cam that I follow.
Becky, you have so much energy. But you put your energy to good work. I hope your husband realizes how much you do. Your a great inspiration.
Just did the same in even the same roaster last week, yes it rained all week! I had a bowel infection a few years ago that really messed up my potassium levels and caused anemia. When I got home from the hospital, I drank a pint per day for 2 days. On the 3rd day I had to see the doc for another blood draw. Everything was normal and they were shocked and even more shocked when I told them what I used. One doc had never even heard of bone broth. Now I keep it on hand for just such things. I use just broth to cook and bone broth when someone gets sick. I use a quarter cup of apple cider vinegar to a full roaster as it really helps in leaching the nutrients from the bones. Theres a reason they keep a pot on the stove everyday in Norway during the winter. They are very healthy there.
Woman, I need a bottle of whatever you're taking!! Watching your productivity and energy level is amazing, but watching it in FFW is down right mesmerizing! I remember having that kind of energy and focus -- And then 40 happened haha!!
Omgeee is 40 the age? I usto have sooo much energy too then 40 hit and if I get to doing something then good, if not then good lol.
@@alexisspace8390 Oh yeah, it's like suddenly someone has pulled your plug or something. I used to go nonstop and have 3 things going at all times. Now, at 46, I'm lucky if I get 1/4 of my weekend list done.
She’s awesome! I watch her and need a break.
I think she really enjoys it like a craft or hobby so she is excited about it!
I can't get enough of your videos Becky! Just so much fun and I always learn something new! Be blessed!❤️
I love your channel Becky, watch it daily! I appreciate how you always focus on methods to be more healthy. On that note, and because I care, I wanted to let you know cooking right on foil is not a good idea. Aluminum leaches into the food and then into you. This is the first time I’ve seen you cook right on the foil so I had to let you know. Thank you for all your efforts to bring these great homesteading tasks that you share to all of us. I can and dehydrate a lot of food and love your channel!!
Well, I’m officially hooked on your channel. I’ve gotten to the point when I say to myself, “I wonder if Becky posted a video today?” This is my nightly routine. 🙂🙂🙂
Wow thank you! I’m so glad you are here :)
Same!
It's nice to follow someone in WA. You understand the slug struggle in the garden!
Hi, Becky--Have you looked at Who Gives A Crap for toilet paper? Super responsible company, and super convenient--they deliver a big box to your door. They also do paper towels and tissues. Apologies if this is a repeat; I'm not connected to them, just a fan. I love how responsible they are, and how easy they make ordering.
I need to look into that!! Thank you!!
I love watching these videos - I don't think people do canning now in England - or at least I havn't heard that anybody does it much now. It reminds me of my dear nan who I remember when I was young about 60 yrs ago - she was a fanatic. She went through the 2nd world war and rationing and I think she thought she would stock up just in case rationing reared its ugly head again. Esther could feed dozens of people at the drop of a hat and provided a large table groaning with food in a flash. All of us grandchildren were dispatched upstairs to fetch countless tins and jars of food, she would boil galvanised buckets of beetroot and eggs on the cooker and there was a constant supply. Keep up the good work - I love watching.
Thank You so much for taking us along, I really enjoyed it, I am amazed how much you can get accomplished in a day.
I know! When I was her age I had total energy! No one told me it would lessen as I aged. Lol.
@@franlooving4203 I know it's crazy, she is an energizer bunny, I remember what that was like.
I love running errands with Becky
Bless your heart..you have such energy. I love it! I love how you waste nothing! Keep these great videos coming!! ❤️🙏🏻
I am exhausted just watching you:) Love all your videos.
I would love a freezer organization video… and your energy is crazy amazing!
Becky you are so inspirational!! This Aussie loves watching your videos.
Wow. You are like the ever ready bunny. Go go go. Remember to stop and enjoy your flowers.
Your videos are so inspiring! You’ve inspired me to grow my own produce, preserve, and so many amazing freezer meals! Thank you for your content! ❤️❤️
My goodness you are full of knowledge and energy too! Lucky husband.
I always enjoy spending the day “with you!” Excited for your freeze dried broth! That is the number one thing I would want a freeze dryer for. I am trying to convert over to canning it but still have freezing as my main method. I usually put a few jars in the fridge at the beginning of the week so they are thawed when I am ready to use them.
Walmart has tons of jars. My Walmart has tons of jars and canning stuff.
Our Walmart has tons of canning jars as well.
@@lotus.... I stocked up a bunch. Plus they have everything canning from Ball. I love it. Stock up while it’s there haha crazy times
@@LadysFarm Me too. Also found some canning lids and some of tge screw on lids for my half gallon jars that I use for our goat's milk.
@@lotus.... that’s so cool. I definitely want to get back into goats. I’ll probably get back in this coming spring. So much to do to get the barns ready. What kind of goats do you have???
Oh, another great video. Thank you so much for sharing.
Another awesome video. You rock Becky
I enjoy watching your videos and have learned so much from your content. When I watched your video today, I thought, "she is such a wonderful homemaker!" I like that you consider the cost of things and work not to waste. I grocery shoped based on weekly sale papers when raising my kids. I didn't work outside the home--my husband was a public school teacher and was paid once a month. We loved the family lifestyle of him being a teacher, but had to make everything stretch. Eating out was a rare treat. It was a blessing in disguise to live frugally. I learned to cook and bake in the footsteps of the women in my family--so many phone calls to Mom and Grandma--so many wonderful food memories. I am now the older generation and am the one being called for recipes and I LOVE it! Thank you for your entheusiasm and keep up the good work!
I was making green enchilada sauce Friday. I had cut up 40 cups of green tomatoes and 4 roasted Anaheim peppers. I started on the onions thankfully not the jalapemos. The knife stuck in this humongous onion from a local farm and when I tried to pull and then push down, it zipped forward and the onion rolled and my left middle finger was speared and sliced on the side. I had to wrap in paper towels as I saw ligaments and fatty tissue, I knew it meant a trip to the ER. Here I'm standing in my jammies with blood dripping through, so I put the two pots of veggies in the frig, slid on some shoes and drove to the ER in my jammies. It was only 1 to 1-1/2 inches long and required 3 stitches. I had church on Saturday and wasn't touching a knife on Sunday. Lol. The hospital gave me gloves and I finished on Monday - getting 9-1=2 quarts. Yippee! Still have to wait 6 more days to get stitches out.
Hey girl, been binge watching your older videos. All the cooking you do really helps my menu planning. Your recipe always turn out great for me. Thanks for the hard work you put in to your videos.
Love love your channel,Becky. You artichoke an inspiration. God Bless
You can also blend tomatoes and freeze -dry and basically it's like tomato paste / thickner. Just a suggestion for the future. You can even make your salsa / sauce and freeze dry and rehydrate to make enchilada sauce when jars are scarce. Some some ideas!
Back in the day we had a full sized upright, the parents had space freezer space more often than not, and Thanksgiving turkey coupons were not tied to dollar's worth of purchases - my goal was upto 12 of the biggest turkeys available. That resulted in one roast turkey per month and plenty of meals after. I also love roast turkey as a "company meal" because it doesn't take a lot of tending when slow roasted, smells good, looks impressive on a table, is reasonably fool proof, and can be stretched or not depending upon the sides; timing can be played with better than a lot of foods too. An amazing number of people are surprised with roasted turkey outside of a holiday too.
Canning jars are back in all the stores here, stacks and stacks but, the lids are still hard to find. I've found a few boxes once a few weeks back. The stores use to only carry canning supplies during garden season then they'd clearance them and stock those shelves with other products, some stores still do that, some carry them year round (when available). I like to cut the meat off my turkeys (raw) and can it, then I make broth with the bones and can that, when I need freezer space. I still have a few bags of tomatoes that need to be thawed and canned. Always fun hanging out with you in the kitchen.
Great video, Becky! I love that you freeze your veggie scraps for broth. I always put my scraps in chicken stock since it adds so much flavor and color. My aunt told me she always saves her leftover veggies from dinner every night. She puts them all in one freezer container for the whole week. At the end of the week she empties that container into a pot, adds meat and herbs to make soup. She grew up during the Great Depression so she learned not to waste anything.
Becky, I want you to know, your such an inspiration. Take it as fact from this old gal (50+), even as a Grandma, I learn so much from you. Thanks for sharing with us all 💗
Girl you got it going on. This old girl enjoys watching her
Your videos. I wish you. Much su success.
I didn’t know you were in Washington! I heard Fred Meyers and QFC and my ears perked up. 😂 Makes me so happy, finding homesteaders in this area is always such a blessing. 😊 Thank you for all your recipes and inspiration for storing and using all your veg, meats, and the like. 😄
Becky, I love your channel. I feel like I've gone through a complete workout after watching you. Wow!😲🤯
Plus, you teach us so many interesting recipes. Thank you.😊👍💖
Morning Becky, always a good day when I see you on my UA-cam!
We just love your personality and real life sharing ❤
It amazes me how much energy you have.. one Costco trip and I AM POOPED!
Whew! Go, you! Great job.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Wow Becky, its amazing how much u know at ur age. Well done.
Just cooked my.pumpkins and put the puree in freezer bags! They will be my Thanksgiving pies.
Spread some sweet onion jam on top of that meat loaf and cook another 5 to 10 minutes; so good!
YUM!!
I wish I could afford a freeze dryer, I think making your own bullion is awesome.
I agree with everyone on here commenting on how much energy you have.. girl I don't know how you do it. As a dental assistant I know how much hard work goes into being a hygienist. Needless to say I admire how much work you put Into this knowing that you must have some really hard days at your day job. 👏👏👏
Yea a day with our favorite Becky love to watch you girl
Check out hardware and feed stores for canning jars too. We've had decent luck with them when the grocery stores are out. I don't know why but I never thought of cooking a turkey in the roaster. I do make broth the same way. I have heard to add a it of vinegar to help extract more from the bones. You are so busy and productive and I'm jealous lol
Thanks for the tip!
I was going to post the same thing. I've had the best luck at farm and home stores.
Thats where we got all our extra jars this year and even picked up 2 pressure cookers as well at our hardware store. Got an extra for myself and one for our son who could not find one anywhere!
I need you to bottle some of your energy. You're always a joy to watch.
I second that idea!

I 3rd it 🤭❤🙋♀️
@@robynm7221 I 4th it!!!

I just love watching you & you make this homesteading life look doable and I am petrified 😂
Becky you are a rockstar! I dont have a homestead, barely cook, don't can but i LOVE LOVE LOVE watching your videos.. you are growing like wild!
Thank you so much!!
💙 spending rainy days in the kitchen
You encourage my heart. I can't go into the explicit details of how/why, but I will say that you are a blessing of encouragement to me. Thank you. 😌 #GodIsGood
I just have to say how much I'm enjoying your videos. I just found you and I'm so glad! I listen to you while I'm at work in a corp office and it's so relaxing to see you in your kitchen or garden. Just had to say thank you!
Becky, you are a force to be reckoned with! Admire you
Ideas for your turkey:
Turkey tetrazzini
Turkey potpie
Hot turkey sandwiches
Turkey stuffing with cranberry sauce casserole
Love that your real! You ware your comfortable clothes.
Your so inviting in your videos I feel like I am there with you.
You mentioned a lot of tomato products come from overseas, I wanted to bring up that it is also often using slave labor. They get people from different countries and then take their passports and often refuse to pay them, or pay such minimal amounts they can’t leave. They live in horrible conditions and frequently work 16 hours+ per day. You can see documentaries on UA-cam about it. It was a huge motivation to me to can my own tomato products.
Is anyone else so curious to see that beautiful hair let down? She has so many cute updos that she could do a video on them! I love your channel Becky!!
Grind those dried tomatoes into powder… a great way to add a little more flavor with less water…🤗. I so very much enjoy your videos! I find myself inspired by your energy, ingenuity, and organizational skills with every single episode..
I have these stackable containers and I'm so glad I bought them. I store rice and beans:)
Becky - I thought I was the only one who reused ziplock bags. I also reuse the wax bags that cereal and oatmeal com in.
You are such a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing your day with us.
Another great video! I look forward to these because I'm always learning something from them. And it my age that's a blessing. Thank you so much for the work you do to make these videos for us. Be well, stay safe, love from Texas.
Glad you like them!
Places like farm and tractor often have canning supplies. I've had good luck with them.
Consider getting a hand held spray attachment for your toilets. It saves so much toilet paper! They are inexpensive and easy to install. They are often marketed as diaper sprayers for cloth diapers. Have had ours a couple of years and love them!
Those gamma bins are awesome. They hold up to 60lbs sugar, rice, and beans. Also good for dog food.
I was really lucky with jars. The Amish store in Cheautea Oklahoma GAVE me three boxes of 12 pint jars. I was so excited!
Good evening 👋, Enjoyed your video very much. Thanks for letting me hang out with you. 👍😎👍❤️💕🥰😊
Yess Ketchup recipie! Take care. Thanks a lot!! 🤗
Tip.. Put your trays in the dehydrator then fill with broth. 😉
If you lay those bags of Turkey flat they'll be easier to stack in the freezer :) so glad your channel has grown so much so fast!!
We use those huge Costco storage containers for our bulk flour, sugar and rice! They work super well
Thank u for letting us spend time with you
Love cooking an entire turkey for two people. We eat the white meat as turkey dinners & the dark meat goes into curries. It's so yum! Looking forward to seeing your hog 'haul' in a couple of weeks.
Lovely video Becky 💕 Thank You for bringing us along xx
one trick iv found for finding canning jars is make a little bit of a drive to an inner city walmart of grocery, ppl in the suburbs and rural areas tend to do more canning so the inner city stores r more likely to have jars. iv actually even found lids the last 2 times
Bimart usually has some jars when I can't find them anywhere else. I am over on the west side, so I usually go to that one. 😉
One of the best meals me and my family enjoy having with leftover turkey is open faced turkey sandwiches. Which is a slice of bread, topped with turkey and gravy. It's very delicious and a great way to help get those leftovers out of the freezer. 😁
You have convinced me to get a roasting pan to use for canning. Seriously, you amaze me with how much you get done. Impressive!
We love your videos! We recently bought a food saver and it has been a game changer for long term and freezer storage! We find that storing meat in the deep freezer seems to last much longer too without any ice crystals.
I always look forward to seeing your videos! You stay so busy
Whew! I'm exhausted just watching you. You got alot done that day. ☺️
FYI, Wilco Feed store is always a good option for canning jars. And don't forget about Bi-Mart.
Hey Becky!
So turkey’s I was in the same situation turkey’s Take up a lot of space so here’s what I did with mine because I’ve done the roasting and then saving the meat but here’s another 💡 idea for you peice out the turkey like you would a chicken deboned (leg, thigh, breast wing)
the breast freeze the whole breast (I use mine for turkey gravy)
Debone the thigh and chunk up the meat
roast the bones legs/ wings and innards make broth
So I did 4 turkey’s
8 breasts went back in freezer
6 quarts 1.5lbs thigh scrap turkey -pressure canned
And I am currently still working on broth figure probably be a dozen quarts of bone broth
I'm in Poland and can't get a roaster like yours and I'm sooooo jealous 😭 the best I can do is a 8 quart crock pot and lemme tell you, that ain't enough for my 3 kids 😂 hahahaha
Love your videos Becky!! I've been following along for about a year now and you have inspired me so much...
I’ve found canning jars at Walmart, Target, Ace Hardware, Tractor Trailer Supply, Lowes, Harris Teeter (NC grocery), Publix, and a sprinkling on Facebook marketplace. I don’t remember if I saw some at Home Depot. Lowes only had regular mouth though, everywhere else had both wide and regular mouth. With Walmart, Target and Ace, you can buy online and pickup same day. So that way you don’t have to go inside to see if they are out of stock. I got many of my stockpile jars and lids this past January and February.
I absolutely love your energy. I'd be worn out about halfway (or less) through what you accomplish in a day, seriously. That turkey looks so yummy!
AGAIN, I love how you just go at it and get it done! Love from SC!
Pint jars of turkey are perfect for 2 people plus turkey salad sandwich the next day👍👍
