    Once saw a recipe for the "Everything but the bagel seasoning". Someone loved it so much that they went through the trouble finding out the racio of ingredients to make it at home.
    2 TBs poppy seeds
    1 TBs black sesame seeds
    1 TBs white sesame seeds
    1 TBs + 1 tsp dried minced garlic
    1 TBs + 1 tsp dried minced onions
    2 tsp flaked sea salt

    Hello Becky. I love your channel. You have such a wonderful bubbly personality. Did you know you could easily make your own potting mix for seed starting by using a big compressed bag of peat moss and a big bag of vermiculite. Ratio of about 3:1. And then sterilize it yourself by pouring boiling water over it. Then when you go to up pot your little seedlings you can add amendments like worm castings or fertilizers. You can save a lot of money by mixing up your own. I know you’re no longer practicing but I too am a dental hygienist that loves to grow my own food. Happy gardening this season. 😃

    You asked about the refrigerator bins. I bought a set and have found they really enhance refrigerator storage. First, I use them for holding fresh meat and or meat I have pulled from freezer to thaw. Doing that, I no longer need to worry about drips from packages happening. Next, I use them to hold soda cans and bottles of water. Very helpful to keep drinks from being knocked around in the refrigerator. Finally, I use them to hold fresh produce, Right now, mine is holding celery, cucumbers, peppers. You can see what you have in stock, and pull out the container for prepping. The interior of my refrigerator is so much cleaner now. In addition, I have a lazy susan that holds my pickled condiments. We love different types of pickles, and I can turn them to see which I want. So, feel free to try them. They have also served as pantry organizers and drawer organizers. Very versatile.

    For the organizers: I only have 1 set from Costco and I use them for specific purposes.

I only have the 4 currently because I worry that I will just shove them to the sides rather than use them properly.

    Thanks for taking me along on your Costco shopping haul (I spent a whole lot less money that way!). As for the refrigerator storage containers, I do use them in both my home refrigerator and in our fifth wheel which has a full-size refrigerator. I love them! I have so many various condiment jars/containers and the containers help to keep them wrangled into one area. When I need a jar, I simply slide the entire box forward; no more shoving jars, bottles, etc. out of the way in search of what I need. I also use them in my pantry!

    I've got an interesting natural gardening hack that helps with slugs, caffeine as in brewed coffee not grounds. I know grounds are typically used but they work best for the soil once broken down in the compost pile or bin. The best thing to do is to brew your nice strong coffee & once you're done just brew the grounds again. You can then spray or pour it in the soil around your plants. The reason it's so effective is because a 1-2% caffeine solution will repell & kill slugs usually getting rid of them completely within 48 hrs. Brewed coffee generally has a 5% caffeine concentration & you'll get another 2.5% when you brew the grounds a 2nd time. You just keep an eye out for slug activity & if you see any you just repeat which is pretty easy considering most people have coffee every day. It also keeps other pests out just don't spray it directly on foliage or it might keep insects away that you want in your garden.

    Hi Becky,
    I love shopping at Costco, too! In response to your question about growing potatoes from store bought organic potatoes, I have done this once before but I would not recommend doing it. While those potatoes grew they were not virus free and all my plants died from a blight virus which can stay in the soil for up to 7 years. Always use certified virus free seed potatoes. (Once you grow these you can save your own seed potatoes.). Lesson learned the hard way… :)

    I love these videos! One thing I wanted to say is that I have heard from a couple vets that grain free food for dogs isn’t great for them, primarily concerning their hearts. Just something I thought you might want to look Into. Also the refrigerator organizers are quite handy for corralling smaller jars/packages.

    My Costco has this “insta cart” tote that is amazing!

I got mine for only $10 so I lucked out. But definitely a trunk organizing tote is a must.

    The everything bagel seasoning is amazing! My daughter and I both sprinkle it on our rice. I also put it on salad and on my eggs. And when I make nachos, sometimes we will sprinkle just a little over the nachos.
    The fridge organizer depends on how you and Josh use the fridge. They would be great for me. I love everything organized and knowing exactly where things are. My husband and daughter just put everything willy nilly and would not use the organizers effectively.
    I am team Kitchen Aid. I have never used a Bosch. But I used to have a KitchenAid, got it 2nd hand, had it for 10+yrs. Gave it to my friend when I moved bc she needed one and I wasn't baking much anymore. Now I am saving up to buy one again bc my daughter has so many food allergies I am having to make any baked goods for her at home. I have had other brands and they just don't compare.

      Absolutely this! We had one when I was growing up. They are gorgeous, but you definitely want to put it in a wet low spot, far away from the house sewer & water pipes and the garden because it will sponge up water from the soil. They have deep roots and surface roots that will damage sidewalks, etc. too. They have a huge root structure and grow very fast. My grandfather grew a new one by just cutting a twig and starting it in the dirt like a plant. They are also a magnet for aphids and other bugs that require treatment that you don't want near an organic garden. I love this channel. Becky really does have a good community.

I have one that has all of my homemade Chinese ingredients, and I have one for my cartons of egg whites from Costco. You get the idea. I have both the shorter and taller ones for my pantry to keep like items together. I use the taller ones for bottles of vinegar, oils, sauces, etc. I got all of mine off of Amazon. They have bundles you can get for a fairly good price. One set came with an egg storage, and I use that to put my hard-boiled eggs in so it wouldn't be a wasteful spend.
