I don't have a homestead, I don't even own a home. I don't prep my meals, or have a big family. And yet, I absolutely love love love these videos. I've been watching them to destress and I adore the way you speak to your audience and explain everything. This is great!
You all can add a third member. I love this lady. She's just straight up real. You get the good and the bad. Even the Wth moments. Love watching her videos. ❤
My late husband was an avid hunter and id make about 3 dozen breakfast burritos for him to take and share with the men that went with him. I used roasted potatoes, onion, red and green bell pepper, eggs and cheese. Id individually double wrap each burrito in foil and all he had to do was put them in a large frying pan with a lid and heat them slowly as they sat by the fire sipping their coffee or hot chocolate in the mornings. The men with him raved about those breakfast burritos complaining that their wives refused to go to "all the trouble" of making them..lol.. The morning the men left, i got up at 3am to cook blueberry pancakes with bacon and sausage to send them off for their long drive ahead.. I loved doing that for my late husband and miss it very much..❤
RebeccaSwift, What a wonderful memory to treasure about your late husband! My hubby’s passion was bass fishing! I always enjoyed getting the bass fillet’s and making a bass étouffée! Bass fish is a mild sport fish and is fabulous cooked in any way you can dream up!I am from Louisiana so cooking this is a snap for me, and no big deal. My husband’s fishing buddies absolutely loved it! Now, those days are the great memories for the both of us as his health no longer allows him to go fishing in a bass boat. And, sadly, most of his fishing buddies are now all gone, and only a few bass buddies are left. But, the memories are wonderful and when we get to missing those days, I make a catfish version of this, because bass is a sport fish and is never sold! So, I use catfish fillets and sometimes add shrimp, which makes a very tasty étouffée, served over rice! I really miss the bass fillets, and the fellas who were such great fishing buddies and shared the bass fillets so generously! We miss those days and all of those fellas! ❤😔
I like you having that tradition and hope your late husband appreciated you the way you do deserve. Because let's face it it IS a ton of work and not everyone has the time, money or capacity to do it. Really not appreciate the other guys being jealous and talking crap about their wifes. Loving gestures shouldn't be expected in a specific way.
I was watching one of your videos the last time my elderly mother- in-law came to stay with us. She got hooked. Every day she would ask, "What's our girl Becky doing?". Your place and your garden are a dream and you are a wonder woman. Thanks for taking us along for the ride and for educating us in an interesting way. I just canned my first batch of jalapenos and hot banana peppers. I have my fingers crossed that I did everything right. Last night my hubby asked me how many freezers you had. He thinks we need at least one more. LOL
I watch a lot of yr videos 2, 3 or 4 times. I just enjoy them and I learn so much. I made tomatoe soup from scratch tonight and my husband and son said it was better then any soup they have ever eaten including in a restaurant. Its all because of you. Thanks Becky. I was so proud of myself tonight and you did that xx
Becky, it's an idea to use parchment paper to wrap your burritos... They will freeze beautifully, actually be easier to reheat (saran wrap kind of melts in the microwave), keeps plastic chemicals out of your food when reheating, helps the planet, etc... ❤
@@mrsginny just heat mine quickly in the microwave wrapped in a paper towel. It helps absorb the water the burritos give off, and they do give off some water.
I like to use parchment paper and foil. Then I can warm up in the oven or air fryer (for crispier tortillas), and they are done by the time I'm out of the shower! Or if I'm in a hurry and last resort...take off foil and microwave quickly! 😋
I love watching you direct the symphony of food prep! I am 77 and love to cook. I used a lot of your techniques when all the kids were home. It's so much fun to watch you and it brings back so many wonderful memories. It's not much of a challenge now, unless all 12 of the GRANDs show up. Then it's crazy,busy and fun!! I'm watching, because it's never too late to learn!😊❤
Hey Becky. I was making pancakes this morning. The same recipe I've used for 50 years. Except today I forgot the measurements! I couldn't believe how confused I felt. I've just realised what I'd done. I'd doubled the recipe without thinking about it! You, Becky have reprogrammed my baking brain😂. I did wonder why there were so many pancakes. Enough for another couple of breakfasts in the freezer too❤
Becky, I have a bacon ends trick to share with you. I buy a lot of bacon ends from a local butcher. I pulse the big chunky ones in the food processor and then freeze them in small portions. I render those off as the base for a soup or veggie casserole type dishes. Even if I don't add any other meat it makes it rich and complex. I think this might be an Italian truck, made Midwestern! It is delicious.
I just watched a UA-cam video by a woman with 11 kids who made a huge batch of baked beans and put a chunk of the bacon ends in each jar. Seemed like a great idea.
Love your videos! I just wanted to share a couple of tidbits. I have discovered that I can use my Kitchen Aid mixer with the dough hook to mix ingredients for meatloaf, sausage balls, etc. Makes is so much easier, faster, less mess! Also, for those of us who live alone, a lot of recipes like casseroles, pastas, quiche, etc can be frozen in single serving glass containers...so easy to pull out of the freezer and pop it in the oven. When I make quiche or cornbread, I always cook it in muffin pans so I can freeze in a large zip-lock and pull out only one or two at a time.
@@paulineparker3662 I don't know if it's because seasons are about to change but what ever it is I can't wait for it to be over I need to not wake up tired it's draining
What I love about Becky is that she is all over the place, making a mess, dropping stuff, forgetting stuff JUST LIKE NORMAL MUM. All the stuff you see these days is so perfect and definitely not realistic, particularly if you have any children. It’s good to watch you and know that we are all normal, I think that’s one reason you are so popular 😊😊😊
Yes Becky sure is the real deal. I watched another video yesterday it was so perfect, the hair the kichen had nothing in it. No mess no nothing. It was so boring. I love Becky’s videos, she is wonderful and real!
Check out Delicious Bread Machine making ….so many good breads and even you don’t have the machine you can still make it the traditional way… I love throwing a recipe in a couple of hours before dinner and have warm fresh bread with it….you put the ingredients in and walk away checking it once ……I put my machine in my enclosed porch and the heat is out there instead of the kitchen. I use my instant pots to avoid running the oven and I baked lasagna in my electric skillet…..Rose Red has a recipe for baking bread in the instant pot…haven’t tried it. My air frier oven bakes as well dehydrates as well air fries…another heat saver. I put this and that pieces of veggies at once in it and it dehydrates quickly without having to have a large load for my Excalibur dehydrator. I love being able to cook multiple meals at one time. Today I had two canners running, bread maker, ice cream maker and brownies baking in the air fry oven….12 quart instant pot had two chickens cooking and the 8 quart had 5 lbs of potatoes cooking for multiple recipes.
I felt for Becky cleaning the freezer out…..a few years back ours went out in the upper barn and didn’t know….yuk….I had filled it with $400 worth of meat. Recently another died while we were camping …it had some partially frozen items thank goodness….but it broke my heart to throw away what I had prepped as she felt…… So for the last week I’ve been canning and dehydrating just about everyday so if there’s power failure I’m not losing a lot of foods. We are not guaranteed having gas to run our generator….five years back ours went out and it was out five days……gas stations were closed and we had to drive 40 min one way to fill the cans and they limited the amount you could buy. Becky has such a big area for her gardens and so blessed to have someone to do the building of them. I always share her videos 👩🏻🍳
Have you freeze dried your onion pieces? Saves on freezer space. I don’t have one but I dehydrate them and I make onion powder also. Zucchini and squash, celery, mushrooms, carrots, garlic, onions, peppers of all kinds are so nice to have in a jar ready to put into a recipe ….my hubby isn’t a veggie eater but he gets them in powders and lol what happens in the kitchen stays in the kitchen…🤭 Becky is such a great example to all young housekeepers and even us seasoned ones.😂
@@Ms.Byrd68 most stores that sell kitchen utensils carries them. The cheapest place to get one is at your local Dollar Tree store. If you have one close to you. That is where i got mine. They are an awesome tool to have in the kitchen. I have always used a wooden spoon till i got one. I absolutely love it. So much easier than my wooden spoon. I call it a meat masher.
I think Josh married you because of how much of a wonderful and organized cook you are, and how clean you keep everything, as well as being so pretty and sweet. Thank you for giving me such a great idea of using your Freezer Bags and flattening out the food, like meats and sauces, instead of using more dishes to put it in, which takes up more space. I'm so glad that I watched you today, on your day to cook up so many delicious meals !!!❤ What a treat it was, so thank you very much, and have a Happy 4th of July and Bless you !!!!❤
@@Cookingwithaprilbasil is harvested at the top of the plant. Also, as soon as you see a flower bud in basil you need to snip it back at the leaves just below it. 🌿 😊
Yu have deffo inspired me i have a family of 7 and chronic pain so struggle making dinner everyday so im planning on making 6 different meals many servings per meal working on minice beef tomorrow and my 3 girls r gonna help me thank yu for all yur meal ideas will b nabbing a few
I find myself cheering for the little bits (like the hasbrown potatoes!) to fall and am so happy when I see Orbit &/or Tibro getting snacks while keeping you company in the kitchen 😍
Yea for the dogs they are part of the family and they don't bother her so surely they shouldn't bother followers The home is clean dogs well kept, enjoy!@@😂
@@mousemeat1352 Becky constantly amazes me with everything she gets done! Im so grateful that she posts as regularly as she does because she helps me body double and navigate my ADHD. Thanks @Becky!
You know this video is great timing because I'm having my Achilles Tendon repair surgery so I will be non weight bearing for 5to6 months and my husband won't have to be burden with fixing dinner every day with these delicious freezer meals. Thank you Becky.
I wish you a speedy recovery. I had to be off a ankle three months once and I thought that was bad enough. Dealing with a shoulder now...six months and hopefully can completely use it. God's speed.
I had surgery on 6/30 and again on 7/3 and I am so glad I prepped meals for the freezer. Still using them on 7/24, along with meals my husband has made on his own.
your videos have been a light in the darkness in recent weeks. thank you for such bubbly and warming content. youre a brilliant woman and i aspire to make my own home grown stuff too one day
Becky, freeze dried onions is where it's at! I FD about 100 lbs of chopped onions (I use my food processor) each year and use them on anything I don't need fresh. So convenient. Same with bell peppers.
@@loiscarteaux9389 just an fyi - dehydrators are very diff then freeze dryers. If you are interested in getting a freeze dryer, Harvest Right offers a layaway plan - $250 down then pay as you can (0 interest) until the full amount is paid - then they will ship it to you.
OH THANK YOU!!!!!! I never have it when I need it and I'm really trying to learn to make everything from scratch. This is definitely going in my recipe book!!!
I am making breakfast burritos today! The biggest tip I have is to make a white gravy with the sausage grease and drippings and mix that into the cooked eggs and sausage then cheese when cooled. It holds it all together when folding the burritos and tastes great! I don't put in potatoes because the extra large tortilla is enough carbs for us, and I use about 2.5 eggs per burrito. Growing teen boy needs protein!
I love how the potatoes go straight to the floor for the dogs. Becky has talked about her dogs cleaning up the floor for her before, but I don't think I recall seeing it happen before.... and this was captured so nicely. Her dogs are so pretty
I have learned so much from your channel. I love your meal preps! I don’t know why but when I watch your videos, they inspire me. I’m going to plant a garden again this year, I haven’t done one in a couple of years. Thanks!
Thanks for this Becky. I really enjoy your marathon cooking days. For many years I owned a restaurant and cooked a lot every day. Now retired, I get no joy out of cooking for the two of us. Marathon cooking days are right up my alley and I'm inspired by you.
Hi Becky, thank you for all the wonderful recepies. I live in Denmark, have a 40 square meter "park" where I grow vegdeables, and herbs in my raise beds. I live alone, so I cant eat all I'm growing, so I give a lot away. Watching your channel makes me go by a freezer this spring, so I can chop and freeze for the winter, instead of giving all away in the summer, but have nothing for myself in the winter :) And the food taste SO much better, when you grow it yourself. But I need to put in a small text in my comment to you from the Danish Food Agency, cause it brakes my heart to see you use bare hands with nail-polish in raw meat - or any food for that matter. I hope, I dont affend you, but here it is: Dirt from nails or jewelry on the hands can end up in your food Finger rings and long, painted nails do not belong in cooking. This increases the risk of bacterial growth, explains Helle Eriksen, who is a bromatologist at the Danish Food and Drug Administration.
"There is a risk of transferring the dirt from nails or jewelry on the hands to the food. And in the dirt there can be bacteria and viruses that can be transferred to the food. . When that said, I look forward to follow your channel
I live alone. I love meatloaf but not so big on leftovers. I make a big double batch of meatloaf and make "meatbombs" in my muffin tins. I simply spray the Pans with cooking spray then scoop the mixture into muffin tins. I freeze this and once frozen I pop into freezer bags. I can pop a couple in the oven... fix a side and dinner is done!
We do same with family pack of 🐔 breadt or thighs; ÷ into 3 separate seasoning/flavors, and roast. Then pkg it up in meal sizes, we store it all in gallon bag so it does not get lost; (thaw and do sides.) 😊
I just stumbled across your videos by accident a couple of days ago and have been binge watching your freezer meal videos, I'm so inspired! It's exactly what I'm looking for, I'm going to start working full time again and won't have time to cook every day, but this is exactly what I'm going to do! Make a whole bunch of freezer meals that we can just heat up. I don't live on a farm and don't have all of your fresh ingredients but I will buy what has a good price that week and make some of your recipes! Sorry if my English isn't spot on, I'm from Sweden 😊
Becky I just love learning from you and watching you cook! I’m 60 so I’ve been cooking a long time but I learn so much from you. I have started making the breakfast burritos and my husband loves them too 😊. I do want to ask you to do something. Please, please, please pour your hot grease into a metal pan and let it cool a bit before you put into the glass jar or just let it cool in the pan. A jar exploded while my aunt was pouring hot grease in a jar many years ago and she had very bad 3rd degree burns on her arms and legs. It might not ever happen to you but it’s not worth taking a chance. Love you! Shellie in Mississippi 😊
I loved watching this! I watched while I spent the afternoon cooking and making freezer meals. We have a guest here for a week, and he's from Estonia. I made some blueberry muffins for breakfast. Decided to fix lasagne for supper, so I made 3. Then I made 2 pans of chicken enchiladas . So I have 4 freezer meals and had the pleasure of listening to you.
Raised 5 children, had to work aswell. Never thought of preparing multi meals, however now my youngest is 48, hardly cook anymore I love watching you prep all that food. Great work.
I now make sure my dishwasher and sinks and drainer pans are empty, my compost bags are handy (I put my scraps in brown paper bags before I put in my compost bin) and my trash can is right by my prep area-all thanks to you..thank you.
Hello Becky I want to do more gardening and I saw you walk out to your raised beds. What is that plastic you have on your raised beds thank you I am new to all this ❤ We love you, Becky, you are a natural warm hearted person
Oh my goodness! I truly wish you had been my Home Economics teacher! You have a great ability to communicate a more efficient way to operate in the kitchen. With more parents needing to work one or more jobs to make ends meet these skills are of great value. Also, some of the easier/safer tasks can be done by children right along with the parents as they work. Fosters a healthy way for families to spend more quality time together. Thank you for your channel!
I squeal with joy whenever i see these! I love all your videos but the big freezer meal ones are my favorite 🤗 thank you for always sharing with us, becky!
Hi Becky... Did you know that if you use regular saran wrap, as I do, store it in the freezer because it makes it sooooo much easier to use! It doesn't fold up on itself! My sister has to use it for dialysis and she told me this secret. Love your videos! Best wishes to you and your family
A Becky freezer cooking day was exactly what I needed today! ❤ I'm impatiently waiting until the fall so I can garden because I live in Florida so living vicariously here
I have 4 grown kids and you are doing what i used to do. I done freezer meal prep like once a month and my kids helped. I worked full time so it was a way to have home cooked meals and save time to.
Becky, I would love to see your top 10-15 favorite freezer meals. And maybe Josh's too if they are different. I often think about the moroccan or mediterranean small meatloafs you did at your other house. They were so original and different from the typical freezer meals.
You mentioned some time ago that you were creating a meal prep packet, and Mom and other family were testing it out. When will we see this? Today's meal planning is super inspiring and has a range of flavors!
I do all my week cooking on the weekend. My go to breakfast is breakfast burritos. I do mine in the crockpot and add green Chile to them. So good. You are so efficient. I thought I was pretty good until I started watching you.
Even at my most unproductive moments, your videos turn my day around and make me feel productive. Thank you for all you do Becky! You've really inspred me. I went from eating out most days for lunch at work as I didn't have the energy to meal prep and now I've been meal prepping for a solid 3 months and have a freezer full of prepped meals all with the help of your videos and recipes. My favorite is the pumpkin pasta.
I live in the Midwest and when sleep won’t happen, I often watch Becky cooking! These meals prepared ahead and frozen will be delicious and so handy when you don’t have time or if you just want to relax! I often watch your videos and I always finish watching, as each one is very informative! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
My kids graduation party is tomorrow and i have so much to clean and prep to pull it all together. I’m so excited to have your video to play along with the busy afternoon I’m about to have. Thank you for always sharing your kind attitude and helpful tips to make life smarter not harder 💛🌿
Becky, I freeze my burritos right after I make them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for thirty minutes before bagging them up for the big freezer. Saves me from having to wrap them individually. Love your channel!!
Hi darlin', you didnt overstuff the pizza pockets, just make sure you poke holes with a fork at the top at then nothing will overleak/explode not matter how much you stuff.
My husband and I are definitely getting on the Freezer Meal bandwagon! Those breakfast burritos would be so great to have for us to grab and go in the mornings.. or whenever! Thanks Becky ❤❤❤❤
She inspired me to make breakfast burritos. They were a hit when we were camping in May. When we had to be up and out early I'd put them in the fridge overnight, then wrap in a damp paper towel in the morning, zap in microwave for 1 minute, and we'd take them with us and eat on the road. Hearty, healthy, filling, and delicious!
Karen’s Back !!!! Why are you so stuck on what she does in her kitchen ? I think you need some excitement in your life 😂 if you don’t like what she does don’t watch
I just visited your beautiful Vancouver area on our way to Mt. St Helen's, and then down the Oregon coast line. I'm already missing the beauty and weather of the Pacific North West. It's 110° here in the southern San Joaquin Valley in CA. Just 2 days ago I was enjoying weather in the mid 60°s. You did motivate me today to do something with the abundance of eggs and produce we came back to. Thanks for that!😊
I appreciate you teaching us that it is possible to batch cook. I don't have the energy that you do but I can certainly pick 2 meals and make them at the same time. Thank you!
These videos are how I found your channel originally. At that time I was just getting in to canning and hadn’t yet started my garden which just keeps growing 😅. I Love your channel and your personality, thanks for sharing.
Becky you amaze me with how much you accomplish on any given day, all with a baby. You are such an inspiration to so many. You make any recipe look easy and appealing, we can taste it right thru you tube 🤣
I love you cook with eye measurements to taste we put everything in our palm to measure, i was teaching my granddaughter who is 7 to cook snd measuring everything in my hands she got the measuring spoons out as she was writing the recipe down snd i told her how much, put it in her hand teaching her how it felt she measured actual amount which amazed me were spot on… that winter my daughter found her recipes she saved in her jewelry box grandpa made for her… lol i learn from my aunt who had the u-pick gardens i spent every summer at her home!
I am a south Indian, love to cook and bake. I came across your UA-cam channel a couple of weeks ago, and am Loving it. I love your voice and your homestead life, what a blessing you are Becky!!
I get good ideas from you. I live alone, and I work full time 3rd shift. When I cook, you’d think I’m cooking for a crowd. I make good use of my freezer. I usually have a variety of frozen meals to grab for work. Sometimes meatloaf and mashed potatoes, homemade deep dish pizza, baked beans, chicken tenders, applesauce, and more.
Our church has monthly potlucks and this video is being saved for future reference for church potluck meal ideas. Thanks for sharing these recipes! Living with roommates and not having a full freezer to myself this is not practical for me to cook this much at one time but I do make big batches then eat lots of leftovers as part of the trick to eat good homemade scratch meals even with chronic illnesses and disabilities. The other is using things like my electric pressure cooker and oven so that I don't have to stand and cook.
Becky-You are absolutely a joy to watch! Tysm for all your new Crockpot Recipes! I loved watching you enjoy the peach cobbler & your sweet expressions! You make me want to get up & bake something! God bless you & your family! Jesus loves you!❤
Brilliant idea to cook the hashbrowns on the hot bacon pan!! When I make the pizza pockets like you did on this show, I put the cheese in FIRST, so that when you pinch the pocket shut and flip it over, the cheese will melt down over the other ingredients as it bakes, rather than melt into the bottom of the pocket.
I just discovered your channel and I don't know what it is about your energy or personality but I've just spent the evening cooking. I'm 25 weeks pregnant and let's say that my energy levels have been quite low recently so thank you for the sense of accomplishment I feel tonight. A new fan from France...
Love that we shop at the same places! I have to run to my little store a lot too! Your videos remind me of when we had all our kids home! I did “Once a month cooking” but with 6 very active kiddos I had to do this every other week! I wish I had your meatball recipe then! 😋
I took an hour yesterday to process a gallon bag full of the “garlic pucks”. As you know, peeling the garlic takes the longest time during processing. But now, I can just plop one or two in the skillet or slow cooker and I’ve saved myself the steps of separating, peeling and mincing fresh garlic. So, thanks Becky for being such a great inspiration, again!
@@bc24roxy4 After peeling tons of garlic, you put it in a food processor with just a little olive oil and chop the garlic into small pieces. Then use a cookie scoop and put scoops or “pucks” on parchment paper and then freeze them. Once frozen, put them in ziplock bags.
I am never going to make any of these meals since I’m Indian but man, what a pleasure it is to watch you working hard and so lovingly for your partner and you. Just a very calming watch. 👍🏽
Love your videos and I hope I can follow them! We bought a new upright freezer this summer to replace the chest freezer we’ve had for a few years. I was having a hard time, as was my hubby digging through trying to find what was going to be prepared, so we decided at our ages (69 & 73) we needed to make access easier! ❤😊
I love your breakfast burrito. I tried them after the first time you made them. They are a hit. I make them, put them on a pan and flash freeze, then put in a silicone bag. It saves me from using plastic wrap. It is a fantastic quick breakfast. Thank you!
Hi Becky. Your hair always looks so pretty. Could you show in a video how you pin it up? I usually just clip mine up but yours looks so fancy, well kept & styled. Thanks in advance. ❤.
Hi Becky! Not sure if I missed this info but what happened to the small ATV that you were going to use to drive down to the garden area! Just thought about that when I saw your previous video where you drove your truck down there!
These are some of my favorite videos! We have a family of 6 and cooking every night isn’t always an option. Thanks for all the inspiration. One thing I was curious about is where did you get your reusable bags?
Becky, I literally fangirl over your channel. You are so beautiful!! The love, creativity and helpful knowledge you put into every video is very much appreciated. God Bless you and your family! ❤❤❤
Becky, take your pointer finger, & push a hole in the middle of each patty. This ensures even cooking/grilling, & the patty won't form a little hill in the center. 😊❤❤❤
I love your freezer cooking videos! If you still have roll dough to use up, you can make sinkers. Stretch it as you did for the pizza pockets, poke a hole in the middle, fry them, and then sprinkle sugar on top. I believe this is a recipe from the depression but my mom made these for us as a treat on occassion.
Hi Becky!! I know you like reducing waste and I wanted to share that I made breakfast burritos and just packed them as is into a reusable silicone bag (was able to get 5-6 in a large size) and froze them that way. They never stuck together and were super easy to just grab! I did it as a test 😅 and was a success!! Then you won’t need to use plastic wrap
I love your idea! 🙏❤ Someone mentioned wrapping them in parchment, before freezing, too. Then take them as-is to reheat. ❤🙏 Either way, efficient and saves waste!
Appreciate you not editing out the things you forgot. It's so real. We all have moments like that. Or several moments. Recently found your channel this us such a gem!
I don't have a homestead, I don't even own a home. I don't prep my meals, or have a big family. And yet, I absolutely love love love these videos. I've been watching them to destress and I adore the way you speak to your audience and explain everything. This is great!

I gave up watching bad news on tv a long time ago and replaced it with homesteading vlogs on UA-cam. It really does take the stress out of life.
My late husband was an avid hunter and id make about 3 dozen breakfast burritos for him to take and share with the men that went with him. I used roasted potatoes, onion, red and green bell pepper, eggs and cheese. Id individually double wrap each burrito in foil and all he had to do was put them in a large frying pan with a lid and heat them slowly as they sat by the fire sipping their coffee or hot chocolate in the mornings.
The men with him raved about those breakfast burritos complaining that their wives refused to go to "all the trouble" of making them..lol..
The morning the men left, i got up at 3am to cook blueberry pancakes with bacon and sausage to send them off for their long drive ahead..

I love watching you direct the symphony of food prep! I am 77 and love to cook. I used a lot of your techniques when all the kids were home. It's so much fun to watch you and it brings back so many wonderful memories. It's not much of a challenge now, unless all 12 of the GRANDs show up. Then it's crazy,busy and fun!! I'm watching, because it's never too late to learn!😊❤
"A little extra cheese never hurt anyone." Words to live by. 🤣😍
Hey Becky. I was making pancakes this morning. The same recipe I've used for 50 years. Except today I forgot the measurements! I couldn't believe how confused I felt. I've just realised what I'd done. I'd doubled the recipe without thinking about it! You, Becky have reprogrammed my baking brain😂. I did wonder why there were so many pancakes. Enough for another couple of breakfasts in the freezer too❤
Becky, I have a bacon ends trick to share with you. I buy a lot of bacon ends from a local butcher. I pulse the big chunky ones in the food processor and then freeze them in small portions. I render those off as the base for a soup or veggie casserole type dishes. Even if I don't add any other meat it makes it rich and complex. I think this might be an Italian truck, made Midwestern! It is delicious.
I just watched a UA-cam video by a woman with 11 kids who made a huge batch of baked beans and put a chunk of the bacon ends in each jar. Seemed like a great idea.

Was that “little mountain ranch”? I love watching her to
@@zoec3527 yes!
@@cynthiafisher9907 Thank you
Love your videos! I just wanted to share a couple of tidbits. I have discovered that I can use my Kitchen Aid mixer with the dough hook to mix ingredients for meatloaf, sausage balls, etc. Makes is so much easier, faster, less mess! Also, for those of us who live alone, a lot of recipes like casseroles, pastas, quiche, etc can be frozen in single serving glass containers...so easy to pull out of the freezer and pop it in the oven. When I make quiche or cornbread, I always cook it in muffin pans so I can freeze in a large zip-lock and pull out only one or two at a time.

What I love about Becky is that she is all over the place, making a mess, dropping stuff, forgetting stuff JUST LIKE NORMAL MUM. All the stuff you see these days is so perfect and definitely not realistic, particularly if you have any children. It’s good to watch you and know that we are all normal, I think that’s one reason you are so popular 😊😊😊
Yes Becky sure is the real deal. I watched another video yesterday it was so perfect, the hair the kichen had nothing in it. No mess no nothing. It was so boring. I love Becky’s videos, she is wonderful and real!
Check out Delicious Bread Machine making ….so many good breads and even you don’t have the machine you can still make it the traditional way…
I love throwing a recipe in a couple of hours before dinner and have warm fresh bread with it….you put the ingredients in and walk away checking it once ……I put my machine in my enclosed porch and the heat is out there instead of the kitchen.
I use my instant pots to avoid running the oven and I baked lasagna in my electric skillet…..Rose Red has a recipe for baking bread in the instant pot…haven’t tried it.
My air frier oven bakes as well dehydrates as well air fries…another heat saver. I put this and that pieces of veggies at once in it and it dehydrates quickly without having to have a large load for my Excalibur dehydrator.
I love being able to cook multiple meals at one time. Today I had two canners running, bread maker, ice cream maker and brownies baking in the air fry oven….12 quart instant pot had two chickens cooking and the 8 quart had 5 lbs of potatoes cooking for multiple recipes.
I felt for Becky cleaning the freezer out…..a few years back ours went out in the upper barn and didn’t know….yuk….I had filled it with $400 worth of meat.
Recently another died while we were camping …it had some partially frozen items thank goodness….but it broke my heart to throw away what I had prepped as she felt……
So for the last week I’ve been canning and dehydrating just about everyday so if there’s power failure I’m not losing a lot of foods.
We are not guaranteed having gas to run our generator….five years back ours went out and it was out five days……gas stations were closed and we had to drive 40 min one way to fill the cans and they limited the amount you could buy.
Becky has such a big area for her gardens and so blessed to have someone to do the building of them.
I always share her videos 👩🏻🍳
Have you freeze dried your onion pieces? Saves on freezer space. I don’t have one but I dehydrate them and I make onion powder also.
Zucchini and squash, celery, mushrooms, carrots, garlic, onions, peppers of all kinds are so nice to have in a jar ready to put into a recipe ….my hubby isn’t a veggie eater but he gets them in powders and lol what happens in the kitchen stays in the kitchen…🤭
Becky is such a great example to all young housekeepers and even us seasoned ones.😂
and in her slippers!!!
Becky, the view from your kitchen window is absolutely stunning. My, my, my what a blessing! Thank you for all you do…always great content.
Thanks you! We love it
@@AcreHomestead Becky what is the official name of that 'Meat Masher' thing you were using? I keep seeing it in people's videos and I could use one.
@@Ms.Byrd68 most stores that sell kitchen utensils carries them. The cheapest place to get one is at your local Dollar Tree store. If you have one close to you. That is where i got mine. They are an awesome tool to have in the kitchen. I have always used a wooden spoon till i got one. I absolutely love it. So much easier than my wooden spoon. I call it a meat masher.
@@tammymanuel9158 Thank you, I try mine!
I think Josh married you because of how much of a wonderful and organized cook you are, and how clean you keep everything, as well as being so pretty and sweet.
Thank you for giving me such a great idea of using your Freezer Bags and flattening out the food, like meats and sauces, instead of using more dishes to put it in, which takes up more space. I'm so glad that I watched you today, on your day to cook up so many delicious meals !!!❤
What a treat it was, so thank you very much, and have a Happy 4th of July and Bless you !!!!❤
Just an FYI-Snap the parsley at the base of the stem which tells it to send out new growth and your plants will be very full all the way up to winter.
Would this work for Basil as well?

Why don’t you have your own tv show! Love your thoughtfulness and how frugal you are!!!!
You know this video is great timing because I'm having my Achilles Tendon repair surgery so I will be non weight bearing for 5to6 months and my husband won't have to be burden with fixing dinner every day with these delicious freezer meals. Thank you Becky.
I mean he can use the freezer meals ❤
Good luck with your surgery. Take care!
I wish you a speedy recovery. I had to be off a ankle three months once and I thought that was bad enough. Dealing with a shoulder now...six months and hopefully can completely use it. God's speed.
I had surgery on 6/30 and again on 7/3 and I am so glad I prepped meals for the freezer. Still using them on 7/24, along with meals my husband has made on his own.
your videos have been a light in the darkness in recent weeks. thank you for such bubbly and warming content. youre a brilliant woman and i aspire to make my own home grown stuff too one day
Becky, freeze dried onions is where it's at! I FD about 100 lbs of chopped onions (I use my food processor) each year and use them on anything I don't need fresh. So convenient. Same with bell peppers.
Thank you! I'm going to borrow my friends dehydrator and try this. Any other tips for this, much appreciated.
I do the same!
@@loiscarteaux9389 just an fyi - dehydrators are very diff then freeze dryers. If you are interested in getting a freeze dryer, Harvest Right offers a layaway plan - $250 down then pay as you can (0 interest) until the full amount is paid - then they will ship it to you.
@NaturalLivingHomesteader I am wondering if you need to reconstitute the onions before you use them in cooked recipes?

Hi Becky- Hoisen Sauce is easy to make -
1/4 cup soy sauce
▢3 Tablespoons molasses
▢2 teaspoons sesame oil
▢1 tablespoon rice vinegar
▢2 Tablespoons peanut butter
▢2 garlic cloves finely minced
▢2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
▢1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
▢1 Tablespoon water
▢1 teaspoon cornstarch
Ha! Same recipe I posted to her few hours before 😅
That is fantastic! Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the recipe. Do you cook it?
Or miso instead of peanut butter?
OH THANK YOU!!!!!! I never have it when I need it and I'm really trying to learn to make everything from scratch. This is definitely going in my recipe book!!!
I am making breakfast burritos today! The biggest tip I have is to make a white gravy with the sausage grease and drippings and mix that into the cooked eggs and sausage then cheese when cooled. It holds it all together when folding the burritos and tastes great! I don't put in potatoes because the extra large tortilla is enough carbs for us, and I use about 2.5 eggs per burrito. Growing teen boy needs protein!
The gravy is a great idea thanks
I like to add a bit of salsa to the mix and I also use veggie sausage and add more veggies.
I love how the potatoes go straight to the floor for the dogs. Becky has talked about her dogs cleaning up the floor for her before, but I don't think I recall seeing it happen before.... and this was captured so nicely. Her dogs are so pretty
I have learned so much from your channel. I love your meal preps! I don’t know why but when I watch your videos, they inspire me. I’m going to plant a garden again this year, I haven’t done one in a couple of years. Thanks!
Thanks for this Becky. I really enjoy your marathon cooking days. For many years I owned a restaurant and cooked a lot every day. Now retired, I get no joy out of cooking for the two of us. Marathon cooking days are right up my alley and I'm inspired by you.
Hi Becky, thank you for all the wonderful recepies. I live in Denmark, have a 40 square meter "park" where I grow vegdeables, and herbs in my raise beds. I live alone, so I cant eat all I'm growing, so I give a lot away. Watching your channel makes me go by a freezer this spring, so I can chop and freeze for the winter, instead of giving all away in the summer, but have nothing for myself in the winter :) And the food taste SO much better, when you grow it yourself. But I need to put in a small text in my comment to you from the Danish Food Agency, cause it brakes my heart to see you use bare hands with nail-polish in raw meat - or any food for that matter. I hope, I dont affend you, but here it is: Dirt from nails or jewelry on the hands can end up in your food
Finger rings and long, painted nails do not belong in cooking. This increases the risk of bacterial growth, explains Helle Eriksen, who is a bromatologist at the Danish Food and Drug Administration.
"There is a risk of transferring the dirt from nails or jewelry on the hands to the food. And in the dirt there can be bacteria and viruses that can be transferred to the food. . When that said, I look forward to follow your channel
In our restaurants it's that way. No polish or jewelry, but Becky is home cooking for family.
I live alone. I love meatloaf but not so big on leftovers. I make a big double batch of meatloaf and make "meatbombs" in my muffin tins. I simply spray the Pans with cooking spray then scoop the mixture into muffin tins. I freeze this and once frozen I pop into freezer bags. I can pop a couple in the oven... fix a side and dinner is done!
Great idea.
We do same with family pack of 🐔 breadt or thighs; ÷ into 3 separate seasoning/flavors, and roast. Then pkg it up in meal sizes, we store it all in gallon bag so it does not get lost; (thaw and do sides.)
😊
I used to make mini meatloaf for my mom and step-dad all the time. They absolutely loved them
Great idea, thanks! I love meatloaf but no one else in my family likes it so I stopped making it. Now I'll do it your way 🎉
@isabellapapela so glad you like this idea! Works great for convenience!
I just stumbled across your videos by accident a couple of days ago and have been binge watching your freezer meal videos, I'm so inspired! It's exactly what I'm looking for, I'm going to start working full time again and won't have time to cook every day, but this is exactly what I'm going to do! Make a whole bunch of freezer meals that we can just heat up.
I don't live on a farm and don't have all of your fresh ingredients but I will buy what has a good price that week and make some of your recipes!
Sorry if my English isn't spot on, I'm from Sweden 😊
Becky I just love learning from you and watching you cook! I’m 60 so I’ve been cooking a long time but I learn so much from you. I have started making the breakfast burritos and my husband loves them too 😊. I do want to ask you to do something. Please, please, please pour your hot grease into a metal pan and let it cool a bit before you put into the glass jar or just let it cool in the pan. A jar exploded while my aunt was pouring hot grease in a jar many years ago and she had very bad 3rd degree burns on her arms and legs. It might not ever happen to you but it’s not worth taking a chance. Love you! Shellie in Mississippi 😊
Hope she saw your message. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I loved watching this! I watched while I spent the afternoon cooking and making freezer meals. We have a guest here for a week, and he's from Estonia. I made some blueberry muffins for breakfast. Decided to fix lasagne for supper, so I made 3. Then I made 2 pans of chicken enchiladas . So I have 4 freezer meals and had the pleasure of listening to you.
You should put a mailbox in you garden so you can keep a pair of gloves and a pair of cutters or knife for harvesting. I love mine , it’s so handy.
Raised 5 children, had to work aswell. Never thought of preparing multi meals, however now my youngest is 48, hardly cook anymore I love watching you prep all that food. Great work.
I now make sure my dishwasher and sinks and drainer pans are empty, my compost bags are handy (I put my scraps in brown paper bags before I put in my compost bin) and my trash can is right by my prep area-all thanks to you..thank you.
Hello Becky I want to do more gardening and I saw you walk out to your raised beds. What is that plastic you have on your raised beds thank you
I am new to all this ❤
We love you, Becky, you are a natural warm hearted person
Your freezer meal episodes are my all-time favorite.
A little hack that I do with ginger is I keep a nub in my freezer and I grate it from frozen.
Oh my goodness! I truly wish you had been my Home Economics teacher! You have a great ability to communicate a more efficient way to operate in the kitchen. With more parents needing to work one or more jobs to make ends meet these skills are of great value. Also, some of the easier/safer tasks can be done by children right along with the parents as they work. Fosters a healthy way for families to spend more quality time together. Thank you for your channel!
I squeal with joy whenever i see these! I love all your videos but the big freezer meal ones are my favorite 🤗 thank you for always sharing with us, becky!
You are a joy to watch and a really great teacher. Thank you.
I’ve started doubling dinners when I cook because of you! Saving me so much time!
Hi Becky... Did you know that if you use regular saran wrap, as I do, store it in the freezer because it makes it sooooo much easier to use! It doesn't fold up on itself! My sister has to use it for dialysis and she told me this secret. Love your videos! Best wishes to you and your family
Hey, thank you for posting that tip!..I will be doing just that..❤
A Becky freezer cooking day was exactly what I needed today! ❤ I'm impatiently waiting until the fall so I can garden because I live in Florida so living vicariously here
Yay! I hope you enjoy!
@flyhighlittlebirdie I used to live in Melbourne, 32935, where are you?
I have 4 grown kids and you are doing what i used to do. I done freezer meal prep like once a month and my kids helped. I worked full time so it was a way to have home cooked meals and save time to.
Becky, I would love to see your top 10-15 favorite freezer meals. And maybe Josh's too if they are different. I often think about the moroccan or mediterranean small meatloafs you did at your other house. They were so original and different from the typical freezer meals.
Oven-baking the meatballs YES! I’ve discovered 1/4 cup beef broth in bottom of pan is a Game Changer
Came across your channel while looking for freezer prep for postpartum! Can’t tell you how much I love your channel !! Thank you for sharing ! ❤
Same 😅
I love how you're so organized and can do your dishes in order, utilizing the same mixing dish.
You mentioned some time ago that you were creating a meal prep packet, and Mom and other family were testing it out. When will we see this? Today's meal planning is super inspiring and has a range of flavors!
I do all my week cooking on the weekend. My go to breakfast is breakfast burritos. I do mine in the crockpot and add green Chile to them. So good. You are so efficient. I thought I was pretty good until I started watching you.
Even at my most unproductive moments, your videos turn my day around and make me feel productive. Thank you for all you do Becky! You've really inspred me. I went from eating out most days for lunch at work as I didn't have the energy to meal prep and now I've been meal prepping for a solid 3 months and have a freezer full of prepped meals all with the help of your videos and recipes. My favorite is the pumpkin pasta.
I live in the Midwest and when sleep won’t happen, I often watch Becky cooking! These meals prepared ahead and frozen will be delicious and so handy when you don’t have time or if you just want to relax! I often watch your videos and I always finish watching, as each one is very informative! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
My kids graduation party is tomorrow and i have so much to clean and prep to pull it all together. I’m so excited to have your video to play along with the busy afternoon I’m about to have. Thank you for always sharing your kind attitude and helpful tips to make life smarter not harder 💛🌿
Good luck!!
Becky, I freeze my burritos right after I make them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for thirty minutes before bagging them up for the big freezer. Saves me from having to wrap them individually. Love your channel!!
The view of your backward from your kitchen window is stunning!! You can see all the hard work put into it! ❤
Hi darlin', you didnt overstuff the pizza pockets, just make sure you poke holes with a fork at the top at then nothing will overleak/explode not matter how much you stuff.
My husband and I are definitely getting on the Freezer Meal bandwagon! Those breakfast burritos would be so great to have for us to grab and go in the mornings.. or whenever! Thanks Becky ❤❤❤❤
She inspired me to make breakfast burritos. They were a hit when we were camping in May. When we had to be up and out early I'd put them in the fridge overnight, then wrap in a damp paper towel in the morning, zap in microwave for 1 minute, and we'd take them with us and eat on the road. Hearty, healthy, filling, and delicious!
I like to do the breakfast burritos and then also I make egg "mcmuffins" and bagel egg sandwiches!
Becky your garden is beautiful as is your home. You are so amazing mom and wife and daughter. Bless your family
She got the “bigger bowl” memo, and the “crack your eggs singularly”. Great job Becky. Looks so good.
Now just the dishwasher 😂
Karen’s Back !!!! Why are you so stuck on what she does in her kitchen ? I think you need some excitement in your life 😂 if you don’t like what she does don’t watch

I just visited your beautiful Vancouver area on our way to Mt. St Helen's, and then down the Oregon coast line. I'm already missing the beauty and weather of the Pacific North West. It's 110° here in the southern San Joaquin Valley in CA. Just 2 days ago I was enjoying weather in the mid 60°s.
You did motivate me today to do something with the abundance of eggs and produce we came back to. Thanks for that!😊
I appreciate you teaching us that it is possible to batch cook. I don't have the energy that you do but I can certainly pick 2 meals and make them at the same time. Thank you!
or just double whatever single meal you're making and freeze the leftovers. A great way to begin batch cooking!
The view from your kitchen window is stunning especially the flowers near the windows and trees in the horizon.
Becky!!! I made the chicken parmesan tonight😮 SO DELICIOUS!!!! My husband is a fan😉

Love your channel and your personality, thanks for sharing.
Becky you amaze me with how much you accomplish on any given day, all with a baby. You are such an inspiration to so many. You make any recipe look easy and appealing, we can taste it right thru you tube 🤣
I love you cook with eye measurements to taste we put everything in our palm to measure, i was teaching my granddaughter who is 7 to cook snd measuring everything in my hands she got the measuring spoons out as she was writing the recipe down snd i told her how much, put it in her hand teaching her how it felt she measured actual amount which amazed me were spot on… that winter my daughter found her recipes she saved in her jewelry box grandpa made for her… lol i learn from my aunt who had the u-pick gardens i spent every summer at her home!

I get good ideas from you. I live alone, and I work full time 3rd shift. When I cook, you’d think I’m cooking for a crowd. I make good use of my freezer. I usually have a variety of frozen meals to grab for work.
Sometimes meatloaf and mashed potatoes, homemade deep dish pizza, baked beans, chicken tenders, applesauce, and more.
Listening to this while making a ten hour drive from Texas to New Mexico to see my family! I love cooking and getting organized
So organized, clean, practical and inspiring...keep on doing such a great job, God bless you and your family!
Keep doing what your doing girl! Both of my parents and sometimes the whole family all love watching you videos together we have learned so much
Our church has monthly potlucks and this video is being saved for future reference for church potluck meal ideas. Thanks for sharing these recipes! Living with roommates and not having a full freezer to myself this is not practical for me to cook this much at one time but I do make big batches then eat lots of leftovers as part of the trick to eat good homemade scratch meals even with chronic illnesses and disabilities. The other is using things like my electric pressure cooker and oven so that I don't have to stand and cook.
Becky-You are absolutely a joy to watch! Tysm for all your new Crockpot Recipes! I loved watching you enjoy the peach cobbler & your sweet expressions! You make me want to get up & bake something! God bless you & your family! Jesus loves you!❤
You have a good channel here. No overtaking, very organized and informative. Thank you
Brilliant idea to cook the hashbrowns on the hot bacon pan!! When I make the pizza pockets like you did on this show, I put the cheese in FIRST, so that when you pinch the pocket shut and flip it over, the cheese will melt down over the other ingredients as it bakes, rather than melt into the bottom of the pocket.
I just discovered your channel and I don't know what it is about your energy or personality but I've just spent the evening cooking. I'm 25 weeks pregnant and let's say that my energy levels have been quite low recently so thank you for the sense of accomplishment I feel tonight. A new fan from France...
Thank you so much! I enjoy watching you create meals and give me new ideas. My family is back home again and I need to start meal prepping again.
Love that we shop at the same places! I have to run to my little store a lot too! Your videos remind me of when we had all our kids home! I did “Once a month cooking” but with 6 very active kiddos I had to do this every other week! I wish I had your meatball recipe then! 😋
I took an hour yesterday to process a gallon bag full of the “garlic pucks”. As you know, peeling the garlic takes the longest time during processing. But now, I can just plop one or two in the skillet or slow cooker and I’ve saved myself the steps of separating, peeling and mincing fresh garlic. So, thanks Becky for being such a great inspiration, again!
I just saw her use those
What are the garlic pucks?
@@bc24roxy4
After peeling tons of garlic, you put it in a food processor with just a little olive oil and chop the garlic into small pieces. Then use a cookie scoop and put scoops or “pucks” on parchment paper and then freeze them. Once frozen, put them in ziplock bags.
Put some cloves in a jar and shake vigorously to peel quickly.
I am never going to make any of these meals since I’m Indian but man, what a pleasure it is to watch you working hard and so lovingly for your partner and you. Just a very calming watch. 👍🏽
Love watching the freezer meals! Soooo much cooking in a lot less time than I could do it!
Love your videos and I hope I can follow them! We bought a new upright freezer this summer to replace the chest freezer we’ve had for a few years. I was having a hard time, as was my hubby digging through trying to find what was going to be prepared, so we decided at our ages (69 & 73) we needed to make access easier! ❤😊
I love your breakfast burrito. I tried them after the first time you made them. They are a hit. I make them, put them on a pan and flash freeze, then put in a silicone bag. It saves me from using plastic wrap. It is a fantastic quick breakfast. Thank you!
The view out your kitchen window is breathtakingly beautiful!!!
Hi Becky.
Your hair always looks so pretty. Could you show in a video how you pin it up? I usually just clip mine up but yours looks so fancy, well kept & styled. Thanks in advance. ❤.
I noted that too. Gorgeous lady.
Hi Becky! I just discovered your channel and I love the success you are having. So fun to watch and listen to and I am learning a ton!
Hi Becky! Not sure if I missed this info but what happened to the small ATV that you were going to use to drive down to the garden area! Just thought about that when I saw your previous video where you drove your truck down there!
Thank goodness!!!! I'm so glad to watch about this freeze dryer..
Count me in please!!!
oh becky, you are doing these meals so effortless, it is so inspiring to watch!
These are some of my favorite videos! We have a family of 6 and cooking every night isn’t always an option. Thanks for all the inspiration. One thing I was curious about is where did you get your reusable bags?
Our family loves food cooked in a big pot...thank goodness...beans, stew, soup all is good.
Becky, I literally fangirl over your channel. You are so beautiful!! The love, creativity and helpful knowledge you put into every video is very much appreciated. God Bless you and your family! ❤❤❤
So inspirational! Always love watching you. Especially love these marathon cooking sessions! Love the warmth and realism!
Becky, take your pointer finger, & push a hole in the middle of each patty. This ensures even cooking/grilling, & the patty won't form a little hill in the center. 😊❤❤❤
I love your freezer cooking videos! If you still have roll dough to use up, you can make sinkers. Stretch it as you did for the pizza pockets, poke a hole in the middle, fry them, and then sprinkle sugar on top. I believe this is a recipe from the depression but my mom made these for us as a treat on occassion.
Hi Becky!! I know you like reducing waste and I wanted to share that I made breakfast burritos and just packed them as is into a reusable silicone bag (was able to get 5-6 in a large size) and froze them that way. They never stuck together and were super easy to just grab! I did it as a test 😅 and was a success!! Then you won’t need to use plastic wrap
I love your idea! 🙏❤
Someone mentioned wrapping them in parchment, before freezing, too. Then take them as-is to reheat. ❤🙏
Either way, efficient and saves waste!
Appreciate you not editing out the things you forgot. It's so real. We all have moments like that. Or several moments. Recently found your channel this us such a gem!
Love your freezer meal days & way you double up your cooking so no wasted time! Love learning from you!
