    hey becky!! i am definitely, without a doubt, much younger than your intended age range. most of your viewers are definitely old enough to be a parent (or maybe even a grandparent!) of mine lol. that being said, I've always loved cooking from an early age. I think that maybe I first realized it on my tenth birthday when I asked for a good five cookbooks on my birthday, as ten year olds do. Thank you so much for fueling my love for gardening and inspiring me to try new recipes!! I hope you know that you're a really good influence for young people out there and I appreciate you lots

    Quinoa is great to throw into other dishes to just add some nutrition. I throw 1/2 cup of quinoa into each pot of soup, chili, oatmeal, spaghetti, lasagna (tomato sauce), fried rice, stir fry, etc. It's amazing how easy it is to add that extra "umph" of nutrition. I also throw some Chia seeds into lots of baked goods, like muffins, cake, brownies, etc., for the same reason.

    Update: I've been cleaning out my fridge, cabinets since I first started watching your videos several weeks ago. It's been SO SATISFYING to go through these long neglected ingredients and incorporate them into delicious recipes! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration and encouraging my creativity in the kitchen! Your channel has truly been a blessing to me, in more ways than one.
    Here are a few fun recipes/techniques I've made recently...
    - Spaghetti squash chicken & kale Alfredo bake
    - Black bean, mushroom and onion burgers
    - Tortilla chips, from store bought tortillas. They were awesome!
    - Carnitas, mushroom and tri-color refried bean burrito bowls (out of canned black beans)
    - Coconut chicken curry over rice (made my own rice for the first time)
    - Paleo brownies and banana nice cream
    - Hotdog Philly over salad
    - Quinoa noodle spaghetti
    - Pan fried bacon (I've always made it in the microwave before)

This way you can make your no knead bread in just a few hours. I use this technique for all of my yeast breads. My kitchen is really cold in the winter even though we have central heating. Hope this helps. Love, Debbie

    Your channel is super fun and I'm impressed with your energy level. Side note on yeast proofing - you need to mix the salt into the water until completely dissolved before adding the yeast. The granules will kill any yeast they come in contact with. The same goes for dry ingredients going into yeast, you should thoroughly mix in the salt first to avoid killing some of your yeast

    To ease into a weekly, menu plan begin with a 7 day (columns), 3 meal (3 rows) grid; I like a 4th short row at the bottom for comments, notes, and sometimes prep ahead todo's. Then concentrate on one meal of the day until you've got that one working for you meal chart wise; give yourself permission to fill in the other meals if its not a problem.
    To begin, plan in 2 or 3 day increments using the 7 day chart; give yourself permission to dot additional meals for during the week and even begin the next week's 7 day chart early. Or, plan 2 to 3 major cooking events seperated by blanks during the 7 day chart. Then fill in the blanks using the left overs, or making multiple meals from a single, from scratch cook. If dinner is the meal you're concentrating on, feel free to fill in the lunch cells with a dinners left overs. In your case, at the onset of the week decide which freezer meals you'll be eating on which day; put them on your meal plan chart. Then distribute the leftmovers in the dinner and lunch cells following; including any "reconstitutions" or use of the left overs as the base of another dish all together. When filling in about (before and after) a major cooking event, take a survey of the refrigerator and counter top perishables to consciously include them. Many, many people fill out thier menu plan every couple of days versus once per week or once per month.

My tip I tell family is: son has approx 50 points (points = carbohydrates - fibre) for a meal so learn nutrition labels! Make sure the dinner isn’t 100 points when you add a dessert. As you start to understand how many carbs are in foods it helps you figure out healthy meals for diabetics! Lots of lean meats and non starch veggies so you can have a small dessert.

    Almond flour is great as a breading for fish. Mix with garlic, salt and pepper and parsley. Egg wash the fish and dredge the fish in almond flour mixture. Pan fry the fish in just a little oil. I love it on steelhead.

    I’m doing this as well with a twist, of course, lol. Pulling everything out of the pantry, taking an inventory and dating everything. Also using Canuary to can a lot of the dried beans as well as “fast beans” from RoseRedHomestead. So, canning and dehydrating are in the mix as well as shopping my pantry. No grocery trips with the exception of pet food, pint jars, etc. No food! Also, my try item is making my own oat milk…I have so many oats. 😂

    Becky, rice maker is something that is rarely used in uk. Ive never seen one in electrical shops to buy. The best way to cook rice on stove is in my duch oven. Cover with water just couple inches over rice. Cover with lid, Bring the rice up to boil, when hot water to a rolling boil, turn down to low for 10 mins, turn off stove and leave for 10 mins. Done, the trick is to leave rice alone, dont stir and you will be left with soft fluffy rice. Taken me over 25yrs to finally get it perfect ever time.

    "fresh" dill in the winter = process dill fronds and freeze. Use from frozen. I store mine in a ziploc bag. They have such little moisture that the texture is the same. I love it on salads as it tastes nearly summer fresh.

    HELPFUL HINT: Boil eggs for 7+ min in water with a dash of vinegar and salt. Rinse with cold water. Put an egg in a pint (or quart) mason jar. Swirl around gently about 3-4 times. Check to see if it needs to crack more. Don’t over swirl. Will easily peal.

    another way to break up your pasta is to roll it up in a towel and bend where you want the pasta to break. It doesn't go flying everywhere and all you have to do is open the towel over your pan and pour it in. I'm guessing your rice pilaf dish wasn't too spicy for Josh? It looked wonderful!

    That baked oatmeal looks so yummy! I may have to give that one a try for sure. Just gonna share, I do a combo of Ina Garden and Rachael Ray for cooking hard boiled eggs and I've never had a green egg since. Set your pan of eggs/water on the stove, slowly bring up to a boil, let them boil for about 1 1/2 min, then cover with a lid, shut off the heat and let them sit for 20 mins un-disturbed, as they finish cooking in the residuel heat in the water, and after 20 mins, drain, give the pan a slight shake to break the shells a little bit and then run under cold water. Chill/peel as you normally would.

    By the intense look and licking of lips…someone would like a taste too.🐾❤️ The boys are looking for a snack. My dog Chewie HAS to eat something when he hears or smells me cooking in the kitchen. He also likes to eat whenever my husband or I eat. I’m home all day with him so I do free range eating. I’ve been disabled for 20+ years. I was diagnosed with MS at age 27. You have helped me to keep pushing forward. I try to keep active since I was paralyzed more than one. Last year I stared gardening. I’ve harvested a few green peppers and tomatoes. The green peppers I grew from a pepper I purchased. They are still producing now. I had a lot of fails because I went into gardening ignorantly. I’m hoping this year the yields will be higher. Oh and because you’ve spoken so much of Calendula and Echinacea I just planted them both from seed this week. You give me SO MUCH encouragement and I MUST thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m almost done watching EVERY video on your channel. I’m going to be sad when I’m done. You’re part of my daily routine. I talk about you all the time to my husband. Although I’m much older than you are we share a lot of the same ideals. More people should watch your video. Having order in your home/life makes life easier to live. Tfs sweetie. Have a great day.🤗

    I have an almond flour chocolate chip muffin. It’s the best. I actually make it X4 and they freeze so well. My husband eats two everyday. We also swap out different kinds of choco chips. Peanut butter chips is our favorite.
    2.5 C almond flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    2 eggs
    1/3 cup sucanat
    2tsp vanilla
    1/2 cup cocoa powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    2/3 cup maple syrup
    1/4 Cup butter melted
    3/4 cup choco chips (white or pb can sub)
    Mix ingredients together, I add butter after it has cooled a bit at the end. Original recipe says bake for 350° for 13 to 15 minutes. But I have found we like them better baking at 325° for 18 minutes.

One tip I learned about bread rising better as well as warmth is keep the salt away from the yeast. Mix it more into your flour after everything else. And the eggs I do for 4 min. In the insta pot. I'm loving this video. Many blessings to you ❤️ 🙏
