Becky, you’ve inspired my wife and I to stop eating out as much. We call our meal prepping “Beckying”, but on a smaller scale. Our meals are so much more flavorful and filling than anything we could have ordered out. I was pre-diabetic before, now I’m down 7 lbs and my A1C is back to normal. THANK YOU! 🙏🏾 ❤
Great job on the a1c, my hubby was on metformin and insulin, we went keto, cut the carbs and sugar and became intermittent fasters . Everything is home cooked and mostly home raised. He lost 50 lbs, off all meds and is the docs poster child. Funny how when you cut out certain things from your diet and add others it can make such a positive difference.
Does anyone else save onion skins and carrot peelings for stock making? I keep a bag in my freezer of veggie peelings and use them when I make stock. It enhances the flavor and the color. Love Becky's vlogs.
@@Paperista it’s a small amount. A couple tablespoons. I don’t notice a flavor. The alcohol cooks out. It’s not necessary, but it does help break down the bones and draws out the marrow/collagen.
Perfect timing for this video! In all my 69 years, I have never made (or had, I don't think) homemade pot pie. Just a few days ago, I had delivered from Amazon, some individual pot pot pans. Since it's just me these days, I didn't want to make big ones. And, just this morning, I got two big packages of leg quarters to roast, pick the meat from, and turn the bones into bone broth. It's like you read my mind, ahead of time. lol I have already printed out the recipe for the pie, and for the rolls. Thanks for all you do, Sweetie. You are constantly teaching this old lady new things. ❤
Hey girl! Quick tip! So I’m a baker & I often, to save time, will use small fold-up rechargeable fans to quickly cool my cookies so I can frost them quicker. Of course you need to keep the fans clean & don’t leave them on long enough to dry things out. But for tasks like when you wanted to pull the meat off of those bones, or cool cake layers..it’s really great! Thanks for being YOU! ❤
I can say, "Becky" in my home, and everyone knows who I'm talking about because you provide so much great info for real-life stuff. You're a star bigger than Cher to us!
Becky I have been following along on your journey for a while. You have taught this old girl many little tricks along the way. I follow because I enjoy how you do your videos, your friendly personality. Wish you all the best! You should be super proud of yourself 😊
Long time stalker.. first time commenter.. Becky you are killing it! I have learned so much from you! I originally come from Baltimore, MD. so life.. I am now a veteran living in the cascades. I had no knowledge of cooking or gardening. You have given me confidence and inspiration! Thank you! Last night a preggy pig decided to squat in my lawn. I am overwhelmed and simultaneously excited. You inspire me daily. You make me feel like superwoman! all this to say... Thank You for being your beautiful self. Cheers! -Kathleen
I used to cook a lot when I was younger and was working. I had to retire at 53 as I am now disabled. I’m unable to stand and have a bum right arm. I live vicariously through you. You do projects I would love to do. I hope you know how much you mean to all of us Thank You 🌸🌼🌺
I can completely relate! I’m disabled as well. I live in constant pain and have limited use of my left arm, but love to bake! I push through the pain and spend hours at a time in the kitchen. Of course, by the time I’m done, I can’t walk and my legs look like sausages!! lol!
I can relate as well. I'm not disabled but have limited use of both arms and back issues. Plus recently diagnosed as type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent) life throws all the wrenches at us but I cook/prep in stages. I can't do all that Becky does in one day but I can do a little. I love watching Becky cook and meal prep - you can tell she loves it! So inspiring!
@@marshamercier336Have you ever tried cooking while sitting in a chair with wheels? I'm also disabled, and I cook & bake sitting in a chair with wheels!! 😊❤✌️
@@michelledesjadon1476 I haven’t. My kitchen isn’t very big and I’m not sure how that would work. I do stand on thick padded rugs, which help, but I have to be careful for to get tripped up on them! I had looked at rolling chairs, but haven’t had the money to get one.
Happy birthday Becky! I oray you have a blessed day! Thank you for beingmsuch an inspirational encouragement to us all 🙏🏽💙 may the Lord bless you and your family 🙏🏽🙌🏾💛
I love watching your videos so much, I’m in an apartment and am trying to live as much like a homesteader as I can but I fill the gaps by living vicariously through your videos. My husband and I are planning our future home together and your videos are a huge inspiration.
When I was a kid, back in the 60s, we had a butcher / grocery store in town where my mom bought meat and groceries. The butcher always saved the chicken backs...mom used those for chicken and dumplings....and wings...no one ever bought the wings, they were usually trimmed and thrown out. This also reminds me that people who lived in town had milk delivered as well. So much has changed in 60 yrs and I miss those days.
I'm 70, and I, too, remember the good old days. We used to go to the candy store and buy half penny candy. I miss the quiet slowness, the neighbors who helped each other. The freedom to play and feel safe.
Hi Becky, im from Australia and have not long found your channel through my searches for gardening ideas, and Im now hooked on your cooking days and recipes. Made one last night for dinner and making a pasta salad tonight to go with some grilled salmon. So many things you do I cannot wait to try however I currently have a tiny kitchen in our one bedroom cottage whilst we renovate our large house and I get my dream kitchen. Thank you for inspiring me to cook even in my dodgy tiny horrid kitchen!
As well as all the wonderful things we all enjoy about your videos, I love that you add back in any pluses or minuses with the outcome of each choice you make, you add it in right near to where you make the choice, like bagel-hole size, marshmallow piece size etc, so useful. Wonderful videos, inspiring across the piece, thank you Becky and family!
I don't think you could find a better example to follow than Becky! I'm glad you found her now and that she can inspire you. Good luck and have fun in the kitchen!
Hi Becky, just wanted to say as someone with misophonia Im very appreciative of you muting your eatong sounds! It makes watching videos way less stressful❤
Hi Becky, a few years ago Martha Stewart made snowflake marshmallows to drop on top of hot cocoa. She used 1” and 2” snowflake cookie cutters (sprayed with oil/cooking spray). I love your idea to freeze dry your marshmallows and thought freeze dried shapes could be a wonderful treat or gift during the holidays
I ve been following you for awhile. Your energy to cook huge meals and make videos is astounding. When i think you have run out of content, you show up with something new. Im here for it!!
Thanks to you, I bought a large freeze dryer and having great fun using it for my garden harvest. I have done most of my herbs, green beans, candy, fruit and the best thing yet has been sweet corn. I blanched the corn cobs, peeled off the kernels and freeze dried 12 trays so far. No salt, no sugar, no anything and they are fantastic as a snack. Might rehydrate and fry in butter. Anyway, thanks for all your experiments. I’ve learned so much. Yes, I also bought that electric pressure canner and love that too. Electric water bath canner with the spigot is another ‘must have’. I set it right by the sink. No more dragging kettles of water around.
Good morning Becky! I, too, have long hair. Always wear it up. Everyone always compliments me when I wear it down. As it gets in my way when working and or cooking I don't wear it down often. Your hair is beautiful, and it is good to see it down.
You have taught me so many things. I enjoy you in the background. I have canned more than I have in the last year. I have found your recipes become my favorites and go to collections! Be proud of yourself and keep going! You got this! This dutch girl LOVES your bonket. I need to share my families recipe with you :) I lost my mom last year to cancer ( I was 47 and she was only 72) she was (is with all the recipe books I have from all of my grandmothers on both dutch sides) my cooking inspiration. I made the tomato soup and it was one of the last meals where she said T...I am so proud of you and that tastes amazing! So thank you for being along on my journey last year :)
I have now watched your videos for about 3 years. I love the way you just "go with it" sometimes. Regardless of the outcome. We should all practice that non-judgmental attitude towards ourselves when experimenting on cooking. Sometimes the best outcomes are the unexpected. I admire your tenacity lil lady. Always up for an adventure inside and outside the kitchen. I am an avid canner and have been for years. Make lots of pickles and so much more, sharing with friends, and selling to local and non-local visitors to our area her in VT. It's a great way to focus and burn off my stress from the world. So i completely understand your love for cooking/canning. Keep those videos coming Becky! I love to watch you. BIG FAN! ❤👌👍
I ended up making some bagels today and I was SO thankful for your video on it! You have been the reason that I decided to try those scary recipes, so thank you!!! ❤
I do, too! I even enjoyed seeing her start off by folding her towels. So many would cut that or wait to record after that, but it's what gives Becky's videos a special feeling. It's like spending the day with your sister or cousin or best friend!
Hello Beckie. When I make broth I put the bones/ backs in my electric roasting pan and turn it way up and roast the bones in there, then add the rest of the ingredients, turn the roaster down when it comes to boil, and simmer the broth right in the roaster. It saves some dishes.
Good afternoon Becky, I’m fairly new to your podcast and I am absolutely loving what you do. I’m a registered nurse and Work for the Dept. Of Health here in Florida. I’m hoping to retire in the next year or two and I would absolutely love to be able to do what you do. I’d rather live up where it is cool or at least cooler than Florida. Maybe north or South Carolina actually probably closer north Carolina West Virginia open in the mountains somewhere. I love the way you say goodbye at the end when you’re calling all of us, your friends. And even in the short amount of time I’ve been with you, I feel like we are friends. May the Lord bless and keep you.
Happy belated birthday Becky 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈. I hope you had a wonderful day and weekend. Thank you for all your videos, I watch them alot. And so look forward to your next video. I appreciate all the time you put in to sharing with us all that you do. And that you are always trying to give information on numerous things that you are doing. Thank you ❤
Becky your broth looks golden and gorgeous. I also roast my beef and ham bones to make broths after picking them clean. As a Canadian i use home made hasd brith for our Canadian pea soup with ham, mmmm. Really enjoying your videos.❤
I love your recipes, adopted a few, wish I had more time to try some more out but with winter coming I do cook more. Garden is looking sensational! Great job!
Really enjoyed your 2 newest video. I love when you’re out with Renee. So nice to see you spend time with your mom in law. That’s really important in life.
I make the best stock with rotisserie chicken carcasses etc in an instant pot. 2 1/2 hrs on high pressure and you would think it had been simmering all day, totally the only way I do it now. I buy 2 chickens at Costco every shop and eat one, freeze dry one and use the carcasses for stock. Huge cost savings. I both freeze and freeze dry the stock.
I don't know if you realize how much you mean to us older ladies too. I've been cooking for almost 60 years but learn something new all the time. Thank you!
Hi Becky, I have two small electric coffee grinders, and I use one exclusively for grinding herbs and spices. This is especially handy when I'm cooking indian food and need to toast whole cloves, cardamom, coriander etc. before I grind them.
Thank you for using your electric pressure canner. Great tip of filling jars of all the stock you made & replacing the hot water with room temperature water, going to try this next time I make chicken broth
Chicken backs are really flavorful. There are two little morsels on the back up closer to the neck the are small but delicious. There is not a lot of meat on the backs but what's there is delicious. I hadn't thought about roasting them and making my Broth but that's a great idea. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing Renee’s chicken pot pie recipe. I recently took a pie making class locally (Oklahoma). I told my husband I need to find a good pot pie recipe to try now that I know how to make pie crust. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Hi Becky! I bought the same canner after you recommended it last year. I’d never canned before, and now I’m so much more confident doing it. I actually canned meat last week! Thank you so much!
Becky I love how easy you make it seem to tackle all of these projects. I also love how you call them projects instead of chores! Can you take us through a planning day? You always seem like you have a plan for the week - how do you sort out what needs to be done when?
Happy birthday (late). I love watching your videos. You're always so bright and cheerful and I learn something new every time. I'm sixty now but I love learning new things. Thank you.
I just want you to know, I binged watched your videos yesterday. I HAD to make the bagels today. HANDS down the best bagel I ever had. Thank you for posting the recipe
i was in a little bit of a low during my first covid three years ago which was when i was locked down for 4 weeks in total due to regulations and my partner being sick as well... i discovered your channel and this has given me so much joy, i absolutely love cooking, meal prepping and gardening now... the most exciting thing is my garden which will be in full force next year after we just finished building our house :) THANK YOU
Hi Becky, when I have roasted whole chickens and removed all of the meat we need I return the whole chicken to the oven uncovered, roast the carcass for another 30 minutes. This really intensifies the flavour. Then you can keep in the fridge up to two days and make your stock. Or freeze when food and save a few frozen until you have enough for a pan full.
Becky I am going to rewatch this video! my mom passed away a few years ago and never taught me how to freeze dry and canning veggies was often avoided. She was a well rounded cook but left out some things. thank you!
Hi Becky! I have only recently discovered your channel and I have been binge watching to the point that you are beginning to feel like family. I'm also from Oregon and I lived in Vancouver and Portland when my boys were little (they are 48 & 49 now). I just enjoy you so much, now from my Eugene home. You are beginning to feel like family, which is especially nice since I recently lost my dad, mom and life partner. It is fun getting to know a clearly exceptional young woman. I hope that you will remember that I am here, enjoying you❤ Dr. Connee
I have friends who live in Eugene, it’s a beautiful part of the state! Their photos are stunning, I miss West coast sunsets so much. I’m near Toronto, but I only emigrated from Lanarkshire, Scotland about 5 years ago. I lost both my parents before I emigrated, but my two kids are still home, they’re only 12.5 & 14.
I love giving my dog crunchy food. It cracks me up to watch her eat it. So fun! I just processed tomatoes, cucumbers into pickles, and froze green beans from my garden. So rewarding!
I just saw you put your lids in the dishwasher - those are actually better hand washing as the heat in the dishwasher can compromise the sealing compound around the edges.
Bone meal out of our broth bones is such a great suggestion. I will also have to look into this. I am so looking forward to fall and with school beginning it means it's getting closer. We are having the hottest temps of this year right now. 105 yesterday and a repeat today into next week. I found a couple of surviving tomatoes that I picked earlier this week. You are so right if you plant they will grow with our heat and hot sun the garden for sure will be done. I am not planting a fall garden since we are working on building and moving to our acreage. We'll see if this comes together this fall yet or not.
In your other video with your mother in law, you said you wanted chicken pot pie for your birthday. So I’m assuming this was for your birthday. If so, Happy Birthday sweet Becky! You are amazing and I love your channel. May only good things come to you throughout year ❤
I got some chicken carcasses from an organic farmer and I was amazed at the meat I got off of the carcasses. I ended up canning some of it with the broth (of course processing it like chicken) it was the best chicken for rice and pot pies. I removed the chicken after roasting then made broth just from the bones
You and your husband are phenomenal. I love watching you both. You’ve learned a valuable lesson with ‘make the chili’. I’ve lost both my parents and it’s so true. Take this lesson and value those in your life. I love you honey. Be kind to yourself and just try to do your best. Love, hugs and blessings. ❤️❤️❤️
I agree the best broth is made from rotisserie chicken, I do it all the time. I love watching your videos as I feel like I have spent a day in the kitchen with you. So much fun. God Bless
Becky, you have inspired me to get back into the kitchen. I have been trying so many of your recipes. I just made the dinner rolls and they were delicious! I was so proud of myself and told everybody Becky showed me how to make them ❤.
BTW: I have an Presto Electric Canner and it through a code on the screen when I was trying to can corn. I called the 800 number and they are going to send me a new canner. All I have to do is send them back my lid. I talked to a lady named Sheryl and she was delightful and helpful!! Great Customer Service!! I love the canner and I am really glad I bought the Presto version!!
My family love the Harvest Snaps snap pea crisps which is what i believe you are talking about. One day I hope to have the space to be able to do even a fraction of what you do.
In the fall I dehydrate mini marshmallows and peppermint marshmallows ( I cut down big ones if I can't find mini). They do expand, not shrink. My kids love them in hot chocolate, or to munch on.
Your MIL's pot pie recipe is spot on ! I am looking forward to making the blueberry custard pie ! 😋. You always make rolls, crusts & breads look so easy . Always look forward to your videos.
Good afternoon! Was just watching your show this afternoon and saw that you were grinding pepper corns in your blender. I got my husband an automatic gravity grinder and he loves it. I bought it from Amazon. Thought I would let you know~plus no more dumping the fresh ground pepper on your floor. Really enjoy your show.
Becky would love to have videos connected to your scratch pantry recipes. For example, a video of you making your one-hour dinner rolls that is connected to a youtube video from that recipe page. Love your videos and as other say, I love living vicariously through you. Love how you are so flexible you such as when your family had to cancel dinner because they were not feeling so well. Thank you. :)
Yes on onion skins peeling i also put celery clean snd scrub end pieces… i also make a broth with taragon added as well yummm! Great for chicken and rice soups and casseroles, also i make a taragon chicken salad with pecans snd cranberries celery spring onions, served with melon salad or on high quality grainy breads it fantastic!
I remembered I had saved bones in my freezer and started a batch of chicken broth in my crockpot. Sat down to watch your video and your making broth too. Great minds think alike. Tomorrow I’m trying my hand at canning potatoes and French onion soup base.
Perfect, I’m just about to decant all my spices into a new spice rack after moving to a smaller home! You will keep my company perfectly, thank you Becky!
Maybe you should try rocky road. Great sweet treat everyone loves, no bake. Use your marshmallows for that. Thanks for teaching us so much about cooking and preserving food x
Hi Becky, happy birthday, if it is your birthday. You mentioned that you wanted to buy a pepper mill. The best one ive ever seen is made by Peugeot, i know what you're thinking, but they make cars! They do but also make some kitchen equipment. They really do make the best pepper mills. My daughter got one for Christmas and wouldnt part with it. Bon appetit from Anne in France, many hugs 🤗🤗.
Happy Birthday, Becky! Hope your day was a lovely one. I hadn't realized until I saw a couple of people wishing you HBD! I do remember hearing you say your birthday was near in the last video and wondered if it was still upcoming or if it had passed - I know there's a delay between filming and posting if the videos of at least a week to 10 days, if not more. Anyway, hope your birthday wishes come true in the coming year, sweet girl! 🌸🌸🌸

I’ve done that for 20 years. Plus save parsley stems, celery leaves etc. Nothing gets wasted.
Don't forget the garlic skins & tips!
Yes, I save them too!!
Yep!! Sure so!!!
Sure do!!
If you add a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to your boiling bones, it helps to encourage the bones to give up more of their goodness.
Thank you? Good to know!
Or vermouth. Acids bring out the collagen.

I ended up making some bagels today and I was SO thankful for your video on it! You have been the reason that I decided to try those scary recipes, so thank you!!! ❤
I love this type of videos when we spend the day with you on different activities ❤
I do, too! I even enjoyed seeing her start off by folding her towels. So many would cut that or wait to record after that, but it's what gives Becky's videos a special feeling. It's like spending the day with your sister or cousin or best friend!
Honey let me tell you that Ms.Renee’s pot pie with your crust was absolutely the best thing that has happened to me this week thank you for sharing❤❤❤
I love how your kitchen assistant knows just when to "help out" ❤🐶
🎉🎉 HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS!! You're one of a kind, and my FAVORITE UA-camr ever
Those marshmallows would be greet for Christmas gifts with some homemade hot cocoa mix. :)
I did that last Christmas with a personalized mug, but my marshmallows were dehydrated. (Pretty much the same thing happens.)
Becky your doggies are so precious, and they are so lucky that you are their mama. You are such an amazing person God bless you and your family.
Hello Beckie. When I make broth I put the bones/ backs in my electric roasting pan and turn it way up and roast the bones in there, then add the rest of the ingredients, turn the roaster down when it comes to boil, and simmer the broth right in the roaster. It saves some dishes.
Great idea thanks for the tip
Good afternoon Becky, I’m fairly new to your podcast and I am absolutely loving what you do. I’m a registered nurse and Work for the Dept. Of Health here in Florida. I’m hoping to retire in the next year or two and I would absolutely love to be able to do what you do. I’d rather live up where it is cool or at least cooler than Florida. Maybe north or South Carolina actually probably closer north Carolina West Virginia open in the mountains somewhere. I love the way you say goodbye at the end when you’re calling all of us, your friends. And even in the short amount of time I’ve been with you, I feel like we are friends. May the Lord bless and keep you.
I'm on vacation with my family, but I got so excited to see a new video from Becky and had to watch! Becky, Love watching you all the time!❤
Happy belated birthday Becky 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈. I hope you had a wonderful day and weekend. Thank you for all your videos, I watch them alot. And so look forward to your next video. I appreciate all the time you put in to sharing with us all that you do. And that you are always trying to give information on numerous things that you are doing. Thank you ❤
Love these random projects! Just like home, play the weather & readjust the sails!❤❤❤
Glad to keep you company on such a productive day
Becky your broth looks golden and gorgeous. I also roast my beef and ham bones to make broths after picking them clean. As a Canadian i use home made hasd brith for our Canadian pea soup with ham, mmmm. Really enjoying your videos.❤
I love your recipes, adopted a few, wish I had more time to try some more out but with winter coming I do cook more. Garden is looking sensational! Great job!
Really enjoyed your 2 newest video. I love when you’re out with Renee. So nice to see you spend time with your mom in law. That’s really important in life.
I make the best stock with rotisserie chicken carcasses etc in an instant pot. 2 1/2 hrs on high pressure and you would think it had been simmering all day, totally the only way I do it now. I buy 2 chickens at Costco every shop and eat one, freeze dry one and use the carcasses for stock. Huge cost savings. I both freeze and freeze dry the stock.
I don't know if you realize how much you mean to us older ladies too. I've been cooking for almost 60 years but learn something new all the time. Thank you!
Such well behaved little pups you got there! Bless you & family❤
Thanks for keeping things simple. Did you know that you can reach more people that way? Simple is always good in my world.
Hi Becky, I have two small electric coffee grinders, and I use one exclusively for grinding herbs and spices. This is especially handy when I'm cooking indian food and need to toast whole cloves, cardamom, coriander etc. before I grind them.
Thank you for using your electric pressure canner. Great tip of filling jars of all the stock you made & replacing the hot water with room temperature water, going to try this next time I make chicken broth
Chicken backs are really flavorful. There are two little morsels on the back up closer to the neck the are small but delicious. There is not a lot of meat on the backs but what's there is delicious. I hadn't thought about roasting them and making my Broth but that's a great idea. Thank you.
I really like Becky letting us know when a recipe or technique works out well or not. Very helpful.
Thank you for sharing Renee’s chicken pot pie recipe. I recently took a pie making class locally (Oklahoma). I told my husband I need to find a good pot pie recipe to try now that I know how to make pie crust. Thanks for sharing! 😊
I love Becky's videos they are a nice friend over cooking with you (or in my case avoiding cleaning my kitchen) lol
My grandmother always used lard in her pie crust. I know you have a lot of lard you could use instead of butter. Love all your videos.
Hi Becky! I bought the same canner after you recommended it last year. I’d never canned before, and now I’m so much more confident doing it. I actually canned meat last week! Thank you so much!
If your butter is frozen it's best to grate it before mixing with dry ingredients, it's really good that way
Becky I love how easy you make it seem to tackle all of these projects. I also love how you call them projects instead of chores!
Can you take us through a planning day? You always seem like you have a plan for the week - how do you sort out what needs to be done when?
Happy birthday (late). I love watching your videos. You're always so bright and cheerful and I learn something new every time. I'm sixty now but I love learning new things. Thank you.
The freeze dried marshmallows look just like merengue to me! Crunchy and melts in your mouth. Delicious
I just want you to know, I binged watched your videos yesterday. I HAD to make the bagels today. HANDS down the best bagel I ever had. Thank you for posting the recipe
i was in a little bit of a low during my first covid three years ago which was when i was locked down for 4 weeks in total due to regulations and my partner being sick as well... i discovered your channel and this has given me so much joy, i absolutely love cooking, meal prepping and gardening now... the most exciting thing is my garden which will be in full force next year after we just finished building our house :) THANK YOU
You should try tossing the sugar snap peas in your ranch powder before freeze drying. Delish!
that sounds phenomenal!
oooooh!!!
Hi Becky, when I have roasted whole chickens and removed all of the meat we need I return the whole chicken to the oven uncovered, roast the carcass for another 30 minutes.
This really intensifies the flavour.
Then you can keep in the fridge up to two days and make your stock. Or freeze when food and save a few frozen until you have enough for a pan full.
Becky I am going to rewatch this video! my mom passed away a few years ago and never taught me how to freeze dry and canning veggies was often avoided. She was a well rounded cook but left out some things. thank you!
Happy Belated Birthday, Becky. Hope you were well celebrated. Many happy returns!
Hi Becky! I have only recently discovered your channel and I have been binge watching to the point that you are beginning to feel like family. I'm also from Oregon and I lived in Vancouver and Portland when my boys were little (they are 48 & 49 now). I just enjoy you so much, now from my Eugene home. You are beginning to feel like family, which is especially nice since I recently lost my dad, mom and life partner. It is fun getting to know a clearly exceptional young woman. I hope that you will remember that I am here, enjoying you❤ Dr. Connee
I have friends who live in Eugene, it’s a beautiful part of the state! Their photos are stunning, I miss West coast sunsets so much. I’m near Toronto, but I only emigrated from Lanarkshire, Scotland about 5 years ago. I lost both my parents before I emigrated, but my two kids are still home, they’re only 12.5 & 14.
Thank you from a gma! I learn so much from you!
You should come visit again! I have never been to your part of Canada but would love to at some point. Isn't Becky awesome 😎
I love giving my dog crunchy food. It cracks me up to watch her eat it. So fun!
I just processed tomatoes, cucumbers into pickles, and froze green beans from my garden. So rewarding!
I just saw you put your lids in the dishwasher - those are actually better hand washing as the heat in the dishwasher can compromise the sealing compound around the edges.
I was worried about that happening.
I use a cheap coffee grinder from the big box store as a spice grinder. It’s small, electric and fits in the cabinet.
Bone meal out of our broth bones is such a great suggestion. I will also have to look into this. I am so looking forward to fall and with school beginning it means it's getting closer. We are having the hottest temps of this year right now. 105 yesterday and a repeat today into next week. I found a couple of surviving tomatoes that I picked earlier this week. You are so right if you plant they will grow with our heat and hot sun the garden for sure will be done. I am not planting a fall garden since we are working on building and moving to our acreage. We'll see if this comes together this fall yet or not.
In your other video with your mother in law, you said you wanted chicken pot pie for your birthday. So I’m assuming this was for your birthday. If so, Happy Birthday sweet Becky! You are amazing and I love your channel. May only good things come to you throughout year ❤
I got some chicken carcasses from an organic farmer and I was amazed at the meat I got off of the carcasses. I ended up canning some of it with the broth (of course processing it like chicken) it was the best chicken for rice and pot pies. I removed the chicken after roasting then made broth just from the bones
On BIG batch pie crust days I use my gravy fat separator for the iced water. It saves me time. I don't have to fight with the cubes!
That’s so smart!
You and your husband are phenomenal. I love watching you both.
You’ve learned a valuable lesson with ‘make the chili’.
I’ve lost both my parents and it’s so true. Take this lesson and value those in your life.
I love you honey. Be kind to yourself and just try to do your best.
Love, hugs and blessings. ❤️❤️❤️
I agree the best broth is made from rotisserie chicken, I do it all the time. I love watching your videos as I feel like I have spent a day in the kitchen with you. So much fun. God Bless
I don't know how to make all the things that you can make but I sure enjoy watching your videos they are very entertaining
Yay!!!! Was just looking for something to watch while folding clothes!!
Becky, you have inspired me to get back into the kitchen. I have been trying so many of your recipes. I just made the dinner rolls and they were delicious! I was so proud of myself and told everybody Becky showed me how to make them ❤.
BTW: I have an Presto Electric Canner and it through a code on the screen when I was trying to can corn. I called the 800 number and they are going to send me a new canner. All I have to do is send them back my lid. I talked to a lady named Sheryl and she was delightful and helpful!! Great Customer Service!! I love the canner and I am really glad I bought the Presto version!!
My family love the Harvest Snaps snap pea crisps which is what i believe you are talking about. One day I hope to have the space to be able to do even a fraction of what you do.
In the fall I dehydrate mini marshmallows and peppermint marshmallows ( I cut down big ones if I can't find mini). They do expand, not shrink. My kids love them in hot chocolate, or to munch on.
I always make two pot pics. One for now , one for the freezer. They freeze beautifully!
I love seeing the doggies roaming around
Your MIL's pot pie recipe is spot on ! I am looking forward to making the blueberry custard pie ! 😋. You always make rolls, crusts & breads look so easy . Always look forward to your videos.
i love your videos and i learn so much!! i always add a glugg of vinegar to my bone broth to help draw out more minerals from the bones.
I love your recipes Becky. They’re so easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing.
Good afternoon! Was just watching your show this afternoon and saw that you were grinding pepper corns in your blender. I got my husband an automatic gravity grinder and he loves it. I bought it from Amazon. Thought I would let you know~plus no more dumping the fresh ground pepper on your floor. Really enjoy your show.
Becky would love to have videos connected to your scratch pantry recipes. For example, a video of you making your one-hour dinner rolls that is connected to a youtube video from that recipe page. Love your videos and as other say, I love living vicariously through you. Love how you are so flexible you such as when your family had to cancel dinner because they were not feeling so well. Thank you. :)
Yes on onion skins peeling i also put celery clean snd scrub end pieces… i also make a broth with taragon added as well yummm! Great for chicken and rice soups and casseroles, also i make a taragon chicken salad with pecans snd cranberries celery spring onions, served with melon salad or on high quality grainy breads it fantastic!
I remembered I had saved bones in my freezer and started a batch of chicken broth in my crockpot. Sat down to watch your video and your making broth too. Great minds think alike. Tomorrow I’m trying my hand at canning potatoes and French onion soup base.
Perfect, I’m just about to decant all my spices into a new spice rack after moving to a smaller home! You will keep my company perfectly, thank you Becky!
Hello Becky, your hair is looking so lovely! Have a blessed day! 🥰
Maybe you should try rocky road. Great sweet treat everyone loves, no bake. Use your marshmallows for that. Thanks for teaching us so much about cooking and preserving food x
Happy belated birthday, Becky! I hope you had a wonderful day! Thanks for another great video!
Hi Becky, happy birthday, if it is your birthday. You mentioned that you wanted to buy a pepper mill. The best one ive ever seen is made by Peugeot, i know what you're thinking, but they make cars! They do but also make some kitchen equipment. They really do make the best pepper mills. My daughter got one for Christmas and wouldnt part with it. Bon appetit from Anne in France, many hugs 🤗🤗.
Happy Birthday, Becky! Hope your day was a lovely one. I hadn't realized until I saw a couple of people wishing you HBD! I do remember hearing you say your birthday was near in the last video and wondered if it was still upcoming or if it had passed - I know there's a delay between filming and posting if the videos of at least a week to 10 days, if not more. Anyway, hope your birthday wishes come true in the coming year, sweet girl!
🌸🌸🌸
I love a kitchen day.
