I know this will just get lost in the sea of comments but,, I'm a teenage girl and I have autism so I constantly feel like an inconvenience to my family. but your videos have taught me so much, and I've been inspired to do things like dry parsley from my little herb garden & turn it into parsley powder (which people have been using!!) or bake fresh bread! your videos inspire me to be more self sufficient. I have becomr interested in things like canning and preserving and I've loved plants & gardened for years but this year is the first time I'm trying to grow tomatoes from seedlings. they're getting so big 🌱 plus, these videos are just such a comfort. they're really nice to watch when I'm overwhelmbed. so thank you :-)
You are not an inconvenience! You are amazing. I have three children with autism and they are my blessings. Neurodiversity comes with so many strengths, I know you must have so many strengths x
How exciting, great idea with the parsley powder,! Sorry to hear you feel like a inconvenience,I hope no one really feels like you are! Please express this and see if maybe they are not feeling this way.? I know I don't feel anything but love from my autistic niece. 😊
I love that you get joy watching Becky. Even better is that you are learning to garden and are motivated to attempt canning. These are great skills for someone your age to acquire. You should be proud of yourself and I wish you success going forward.
Hey Becky - Just wanted to comment on the 'extra' cinnamon sugar you transferred into a mason jar for future use, and then put in an unrefrigerated drawer. Given you used it to roll raw cookie dough balls in I just thought it prudent to mention the cross contamination (raw egg, uncooked wet flour, etc.) that has now been in contact with the whole batch of cinnamon sugar. I often have left over cinnamon sugar when I make chocolate ginger cookies or snickerdoodles and as someone who doesn't like to waste ingredients, I will take the extra and store it in the freezer, as a way for me to be able to use it safely on the next batch of cookies. Know I mention this not as a criticism but just for your safety. =)
You have made the statement true that you are never too old to learn. I am 70 years old and with every video of yours I learn something new. I really appreciate you and thank God that HE sent you to me because you are a blessing. Love your family as they are wonderful people so friendly and kind. Kindness is hard to find nowadays but I see it every time I watch one of your videos.
C A Shepard. I'm 69 this year and I'm with you. Glad to know we can learn from the younger generation. Yes, she is very good at what she does. She is a gold mine of information for so young.
Becky has inspired me in so many ways. Gifting the workers with home baked cookies was so heartwarming. So, today I gifted the workers from our county water district who were replacing the main water system on our street. I gave them home baked cookies. I love spreading the joy!
When we had a new deck built, I put out cookies/zucchini bars and lemonade for the workers and they really enjoyed the treats. Way to show your appreciation for a job well done, Becky!
Thank you for sharing a peak inside your life with us. Also, I am sorry that you have haters. How anyone could make assumptions about you and Josh with the 30-60 mins glimpses inside your home is absolutely absurd. Like they personally know you from watching small moments in your life. Those of us that enjoy your videos appreciate your open and honest personality, Thank you!! Keep being you. You have pushed me to try things I thought I could never do and you make it look easy. I am a more advanced cook, gardener and food prepper and again I thank you. Much love ❤️ and respect.
Just a couple of days ago I clicked on a link things it was a Acre Homestead video. It was not, and the whole concept was ignorant and petty. As I pointed out to the poster, I will never understand why folks want to spend their time and energy hating, tearing ppl down, and criticizing. All over extremely small petty things. That is certainly not what Becky does. Becky stays in her lane. She "lives" life. She walks the walk, and shares what she loves with the rest of us. She has blessed me in so many ways., and I am ever so grateful. Hopefully our appreciation and our voices of thanks will drown out the negative. Hugs
There are forums that like to tear down all the UA-camrs I watch. All stems from jealousy and a little bit of Karen’s. Same girls that are bullies in real life. They have no self worth and get a kick out of tearing others down. Becky and the others can laugh all the way to the bank. I enjoy her videos and I don’t really watch to recreate anything people do in their videos. I just find these videos relaxing. Sometimes they give inspiration to try something new, but mostly because there is nothing decent on TV.
@@biologymom6238 - I clicked on that link too and was horrified someone could be so hateful. I love Becky - I’ve learned a ton from her and I just can’t understand why someone would make a UA-cam channel about someone else and be so spiteful. I hope UA-cam removes that channel. It’s slanderous - wondering if they could get sued.
I can't seem to be able to dedicate a day/time to make freezer meals.... but, Becky has inspired me to start doubling or tripling recipes so we can have one for dinner and 1 or 2 to freeze and it takes almost the same time to make 1 as it does to make 3! We've found a couple casseroles that are EXTREMELY forgiving, can use up some stuff we have on hand and they freeze great!
My husband is a retired coal miner, and NOT adventurous with his food, so I enjoy watching you cook so many different recipes! I can and do pick some side dishes you fix... for myself! Love your channel!
I don’t understand why it’s called “Hawaiian”…….I was expecting pineapple in it….😂😂🤣🤣. But I love this girl’s cooking and baking….she inspires me to get off the couch, take a break from crocheting and make something…..however, I can only do one thing at a time, clean up and then start on the next thing….🤣. I don’t multitask……..
I'm so happy that I found your channel!! So inspiring! Thank you so much. I am a 59 year old empty nester and I am finally going to own my own home! I will be doing a lot of this. So excited!
I lived in Hawaii a long time. Put the onions, carrots (grate on smallest size) and vinegar on while it's hot. LET COOL to room temp, then add the milk and mayo with your seasoning. Best ever! Mahalo
I am so inspired by Becky in so many ways, especially gifting the workers homebaked cookies. I just gifted the workers on my street a bag of cookies baked with love.
Thank you for sharing your recipes. A lot of UA-camrs put them behind a pay wall. I’m 75, on a fixed income and I’m trying to cook with more fresh ingredients for my husband and I to aide in keeping us as healthy as possible. Found your channel almost from your beginning and have been following ever since. My husband is the gardener and I am the cook😊
I have said this before but your landscapers will never want to work anywhere else with all the delicious cookies you have shared with them. I always enjoy your recipes and meal prep ideas.
I manage construction worker teams... She’s extremely nice to them, but seeing the kind of tricky slope and attention to detail she and her husband have, i’m sure they might like to go to an easier job next time. Alternate hard jobs you’re proud of and easier jobs keeps my teams’ morale up
Becky I'm not sure if I saw this correctly, but may I suggest that if you make extra cinnamon and sugar to store that you separate it out before you roll cookie dough with raw eggs and butter in it.
She's such an amazing cook, but yeah, her food safety decisions stress me out as someone who has had food safety certification and education. 😅 I just tell myself that it's her kitchen and that it's one more reason why I try to make as much of our food as reasonably possible.
I peel a ton of ginger and blend it with a little water and freeze in once cube trays. Then bag up. It’s so nice to add a cube to different Asian recipes, or just to a smoothie
That is a great idea. I have been buying my ginger from Trader Joe’s in the frozen section, it is already peeled and in cubes. They also have garlic like that as well.
I used to slice lemons, to get the seeds out. Then blend the whole thing and put in ice cube trays. I would put one w about a half cup water and drink it. (Remember to brush your teeth)or put a cube in a drink, great in Crystal light.
You can also just toss the whole root into the freezer and just pull it out and grate it frozen. You don't even need to peel it as long as you wash it first.
If you have a banana, put it in a brown paper bag along with your avocado, close the bag and leave it overnight. The time it takes to ripen depends on how underripe your avocado is. The ethylene gas produced by the banana is trapped in the bag and speeds up the ripening of other fruit.
Suggestion: sharpen and hone your knives over a surface your not cutting your food on. There are specs of metal that come off and you don’t want that in your food. Love your videos!
As long as you wash it well, you don't really have to peel ginger if you're going to grate it or slice it. The skin is perfectly safe and unnoticeable in any recipe you make.
I did some meal prep yesterday all inspired by you! Sausage and egg biscuits for the freezer, no knead bread, 3 pounds of cooked ground beef in the freezer, and washed produce ready to eat in the fridge. Today I went to Costco and bought some things I am packaging up to store in the freezer while I watch this video! I already have cookie dough in the freezer thanks to you too.
Hi Becky I love watching your videos You and your family are so respectful the way you speak to each other. And l love the way that you and your husband speak to each other 🎉❤
Thank you Becky for spending time with Becky’s Bunch. We just love you and I’m always amazed that I learn something just about every video. Btw I’m a 72 year old great grandma (aka GiGi):
Becky, I make my dressing for almost all of my salad type meals.( macaroni salad, potato salad, ect) . Mix your mayo, dalt and pepper, sugar, and vinegar in the bowl before you add all your other ingredients. You can taste as you as you go.
Her videos are not always in order. She also said somewhere in the last few videos about how she read in the comments not to “sharpen” the knife over the board and that it’s not a sharpener but a straightener. But we see her do it in this video.
Becky I place the root ends from green onions into a shallow dish. I plant them and I have green onions all summer, I just use a knife to slice the onions. It’s so much fun.
Cookie Queen - landscapers will Never want to leave the job! How many employers go to the trouble of making home made anything! I'm sure they appreciate you & feel special.
I love cowboy caviar. It is the perfect warm weather salad. My recipe calls for blackeyed peas along with the black beans. I recently introduced it to my group of friends, and now I am required to bring it to all game nights.
Becky, you are such a joy to watch. I saw in the comments that you are getting some hateful trolls commenting. Just block them. No one needs such negative energy. Thank you for all you do and share.
I made brown sugar for the first time today. It's made a huge difference in my baked end product! So much better than store bought 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for sharing your recipe ❤
I made my own the other day too. Loved it. I did have trouble with my molasses clumping up in my sugar though. Any suggestions? Not sure what I did wrong. It was still good but some clumps remain. :(
Becky, I have to tell you I made that Hawaiian Mac Salad for a family bbq last weekend. They ate it all up! I even doubled the recipe! My sister-in-law said it tastes just like the mac salad at their favorite Hawaiian restaurant (in WA state). It was very simple to make & SO yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Becky you make meal prep so easy. I know practice makes it alot easier. I'm slowly learning little by little!!! Can't wait until the plants are in the ground!! BTW I love the garden updates
Hi Becky. I keep my fresh raw ginger whole in freezer. Then when I want some I just micro plane as mush as I want. It grates up just fine frozen. Pop the rest back in freezer for next time. If you have thick skin or particularly don’t want any skin bits. Just peel before you freeze it. 🌸
Another video with some great tips. I get my Korean chili flakes at one of our local Asian markets in Vancouver. They have tons of interesting flavors, noodles and vegies to use in your cooking. I make lots of Kim Chi and use their Thai basil in salads and pesto. I really recommend exploring ethnic markets -- middle eastern, Ukrainian and Hispanic. One of the perks of living in a diverse community.
@acrehomestead Becky in the south for cowboy caviar we use black eye peas instead of black beans. Totally different flavor!!!! U should try the black eyed peas instead next time you make the cowboy caviar!!!!
Big no no on storing the excess cinnamon sugar after rolling the cookies in it. Raw eggs where in the cookies touching all the sugar and cinnamon. Cross contamination could cause you to become very ill with future use.😝
I have to definitely try that cowboy candy salad.....I think every time I see Becky open up her wall oven "how long will it take for her to realize she left foil in that back of the oven" LOL ... I just love this girl so much! 🙂
KITCHEN TIP: Save citrus rinds and run them through your garbage disposal. The citrus juice and oils will cut through and loosen all the gunk in your disposal. You will have a citrus scented kitchen and a clean disposal! BTW, the citrus rinds will help sharpen your disposal blades. You can also use the citrus rinds with white vinegar to make your own spray cleaner. Just soak the citrus rinds in the vinegar for two weeks or more, strain and add half mixture and half water to to a spray bottle.
Hey Becky! I have been a long time fan & have learned so much from your videos. My confidence in canning, prepping food ahead of time for my future self, and having a growing stock of food for my family have all been life changing. Your videos make me feel like I have a friend to hang out with while my husband is at work, which has been so needed as a stay at home mom. You have inspired me to share my story with others here on UA-cam too and it’s already helping me find more community. I couldn’t thank you enough for all that you give to me, it’s so much more than content💛
I think cardamom would be a great replacement for snickerdoodles. I make a cardamom sugar for palmiers and everyone goes crazy for them. I had no idea a cinnamon allergy was that common.
@@tammymanuel9158 I use the cardamom caramel palmiers recipe from Serious Eats. It’s really really good and looks impressive for how easy they are to make. I go a little heavier on the cardamom then the recipe calls for.
One of my favorite variations of Cinnamon Rolls: Use Clove and Ginger instead of Cinnamon, and instead of an icing topping, I just use Honey as a glaze. It gives that seasonal spice and sweet and they are delicious! I am not allergic to Cinnamon, but I made this one time when I was out of Cinnamon and became my favorite way to make them since.
The self-made vanilla rum is so cool! We bake with artificial vanillin sugar in Ukraine, so it’s basically just another dry ingredient. I need to try making your recipe.
We do have a Hawaiian mack salad no eggs, i have lived in Hawaii for 20 years. Becky did a great job.also no onions, have to be careful so no one gets food poison, it has to do with the humidity. ALOHA
Becky, tonight we tried your Cowboy Caviar WOW!! is that amazing! It is very similar to a Texas Caviar that I have made for years, however the fresh lemon really takes it over the top. That you so much for sharing your recipes and being such a positive person! I appreciate you!
This may sound crazy to everyone but in my over 50 years of cooking and grilling I have never added oil to my teriyaki marinade and on the very rare occasion I add oil to a marinade it’s because I am using a very lean meat like chicken breast and even then just a little but of oil like a tablespoon. If the grills are thoroughly heated and clean (scraped) nothing will stick. It’s more money and calories. Just a thought. The main difference would be in the case of sesame oil which adds flavor but you only need a very small amount.
I do cinnamon sugar using brown sugar instead of white sugar. I do have to put it in my blender and pulse it just a few times because it doesn’t mix easy like white sugar does with the cinnamon. Then I store it in a my spice jar. The brown sugar is a game changer if you love cinnamon sugar!!
Better Texas Cavier Ingredients: Dressing: ACV, EVOO, Sugar/honey Black eyed peas (essential to the historical recipe), Black Beans, Red Onion, Green Chili's, Pimentos, White Shoepeg Corn, Multi-color bell peppers I wouldn't use the fresh tomato or avocado because it would really limit the shelf life, or I'd only put that in what could be consumed in that setting.
The snickerdoodles are so delicious. I made these for my family and absolutely love them. I noticed in your video that you have a piece of foil in the back of your oven. 🙂
I often keep whole unpeeled ginger in the freezer and just zest when needed from frozen. It’s so quick because the hairy fibers don’t get caught in the grater.
I made vanilla- never knew it was so easy! I gave it out for Christmas gifts 🌺 I never add oil to my marinades. 🤷♀️ I don’t think you NEED it…. Tip: don’t hone your knives over the cutting board! You could get metal in your food. 😕 What makes it Hawaiian? I was waiting for pineapple to go in. Lol We grill year round in norther Michigan 😊
Your videos inspired me to do an entire day of cooking this past weekend. I got so many meals prepped and in my freezer so I can just thaw and toss in the oven or crockpot. My family is so busy with jobs and school we just need easy dinners I can cook each day and not be stopping for take-out. I love your channel and watch every week to get more inspired!! Thanks for all you do and share on here!!
Thanks to you, I food prep every weekend. So we have healthy meals every night. So those nights I get home and have to take the kids to activities and I don't have time I just throw one of the meals in the oven and dinner is done. No takeout.
Everything looks fabulous! I also love that you gave the tip about not using your knife to keep it from getting dull. You also said in another video about wiping off your knife after honing so as not to get shavings in the food. All of this information is really good for new cooks as well as reminders to those of us that have cooked for awhile. Always teaching. And I see that you also have a Cutco knife. I bought a set when I was 21 and they are still going strong and I'm 70!
Hey Becky, I love watching you in your kitchen... you're such an inspiration to so many, including me! One tip I want to pass along from my chef sister, is that whenever you use mayo, always wipe down the very top of the bowl to the start of the salad because it's so thin on the side, it can spoil very easy. I just take a wet cloth or papertowel, and run it around the top; looks nicer too. Love from Ontario Canada
Hey Becky, I just watched a video from Chef Rick Bayless and he said if you chop or shred an onion you create a sulfurous compound that will sour or spoil a salad,or a guacamole . It is the compound that creates onion breath or indigestion. He suggested to put the cut or shredded onion in a small strainer and run them under water before adding them to your recipe.
"Waste Not...Want Not!" Another little thing that you can freeze is lemon zest. Always zest your lemons before you squeeze for juice. Then put the zest in a small zip lock bag and throw it in the freezer. That way if you ever need lemon zest, you'll already have it.
I love and look forward to watching your videos!! You are my relaxation! Can't wait to see your garden. I'm so excited for you and Josh!! Ohh yeah just a tip I've learned from my dad growing up for your grill when you light it get it HOT, then take half an onion and clean the grates with it. Not only cleans, seasons, and adds great flavor! Yummm
Thank you new mommy for finding time to make videos for us. All those sides look great! Glad your weather's getting nicer there so you can enjoy your new property ❤😊😚
Hello from Hawaii!! This is a pretty authentic recipe! Every family has their own recipe. My family tries to pickle the carrots and onions and then mix them in. Some other people add tuna salad or uses spaghetti noodles 😋😋
One tip for ginger. You can freeze it whole and than grate iz as needed with the skins. Freezing it makes it way easier to grate and you have it on hand when needed. This trick changed my ginger game!😊
I use to freeze cookie dough & i would bake just 2 each morning and put them in my son's lunch. Basically no effort & he loved having freshly baked cookies for lunch.
Becky, I just wanted to Thank you for your recipes and ideas. I made the garlic knots today and made a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough and froze most of it and just cooked up a few cookies to eat after dinner.
I bought a shaker with a lid and make the cinnamon sugar for it. That way we can sprinkle on baked apples or dessert or cookies and oatmeal etc. And it’s always ready in my spice cupboard
Cowboy Caviar is my family’s favorite anytime. Our recipe asks for black beans as yours does, but also asks for a southern girl’s favorite black eyed peas. We also will add any other variety of beans and shoepeg corn. Love, love, love this recipe.
Becky when you are working with the onions, light a candle and sit it near where you are chopping. This will burn up the onion gas that escapes the onion while it is being chopped. Also, keep a stainless-steel knife close and after rinsing your hands run your fingers over the dull side of the knife. It counter acts the onion on your hands.
I know this will just get lost in the sea of comments but,, I'm a teenage girl and I have autism so I constantly feel like an inconvenience to my family. but your videos have taught me so much, and I've been inspired to do things like dry parsley from my little herb garden & turn it into parsley powder (which people have been using!!) or bake fresh bread! your videos inspire me to be more self sufficient.

I thought the same thing.
suggestion: before juicing your citrus, zest it first. Freeze dry or freeze the zest to have on hand for future projects - like marinades :)
What a good idea!
That is a great idea! I thought, oh, she doesn't need the zest...but yeah, freeze it for another time!
This is brilliant! Thank you 🤗
Thank you!!!
I also like to take those little lemon leftovers from the juicer and use it for lemon water! 😊

I did not know this thank you for sharing
I have never peeled ginger. I just wash with veggie brush I use for carrots and potatoes.
Awesome! I hate peeling ginger.
I didn’t know people ever peeled it I never have and have made dried grated and even powdered ginger 😂
I did some meal prep yesterday all inspired by you! Sausage and egg biscuits for the freezer, no knead bread, 3 pounds of cooked ground beef in the freezer, and washed produce ready to eat in the fridge. Today I went to Costco and bought some things I am packaging up to store in the freezer while I watch this video! I already have cookie dough in the freezer thanks to you too.
RIGHT!? I got a Cosco Membership because of Becky. Cosco is my Jam now 🙌🏾
Hi Becky I love watching your videos You and your family are so respectful the way you speak to each other. And l love the way that you and your husband speak to each other 🎉❤
Thank you Becky for spending time with Becky’s Bunch. We just love you and I’m always amazed that I learn something just about every video. Btw I’m a 72 year old great grandma (aka GiGi):
Becky, I make my dressing for almost all of my salad type meals.( macaroni salad, potato salad, ect) . Mix your mayo, dalt and pepper, sugar, and vinegar in the bowl before you add all your other ingredients. You can taste as you as you go.
When juicing your lemons, squeeze both sides to extract all the juice! 😊
Thats what her mom said in the last video. I guess Becky forgot 😅
Her videos are not always in order. She also said somewhere in the last few videos about how she read in the comments not to “sharpen” the knife over the board and that it’s not a sharpener but a straightener. But we see her do it in this video.
So true! Same with any citrus!
@@Ceruleanozoid I saw that as well.
I just found you! I am using your recipes to fill my daughter in laws refrigerator and freezer for maternity leave. LOVE your recipes
We were out camping and had some cowboy caviar and left over pasta. We mixed the two together and it made a wonderful pasta salad.
Becky I place the root ends from green onions into a shallow dish. I plant them and I have green onions all summer, I just use a knife to slice the onions. It’s so much fun.
I love that you not only feed you body with what you raise and grow but you also feed your soul with the beautiful flowers you grow. 🌷🌻💐
I love that you don’t play music and we can just enjoy the natural pace of your cooking .
Cookie Queen - landscapers will Never want to leave the job! How many employers go to the trouble of making home made anything! I'm sure they appreciate you & feel special.
I love the way your new lids look on your spice jars--so much that I just ordered some.
I love cowboy caviar. It is the perfect warm weather salad. My recipe calls for blackeyed peas along with the black beans. I recently introduced it to my group of friends, and now I am required to bring it to all game nights.
Becky, you are such a joy to watch. I saw in the comments that you are getting some hateful trolls commenting. Just block them. No one needs such negative energy. Thank you for all you do and share.
I made brown sugar for the first time today. It's made a huge difference in my baked end product! So much better than store bought 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for sharing your recipe ❤
I made my own the other day too. Loved it. I did have trouble with my molasses clumping up in my sugar though. Any suggestions? Not sure what I did wrong. It was still good but some clumps remain. :(
Homemade brown sugar makes everything extra gourmet. I just made B'B'Q sauce with homemade brown sugar and it's the best.
Make it in a food processor and process until smooth.
You have helped me with that phrase. I now procrastinate less when when I consider how much future me will appreciate it.
Thanks for another awesome video Becky! You are always so full of wonderful positive energy! I wish you and your beautiful family all the best!
Becky, I have to tell you I made that Hawaiian Mac Salad for a family bbq last weekend. They ate it all up! I even doubled the recipe! My sister-in-law said it tastes just like the mac salad at their favorite Hawaiian restaurant (in WA state). It was very simple to make & SO yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Becky you make meal prep so easy. I know practice makes it alot easier. I'm slowly learning little by little!!! Can't wait until the plants are in the ground!! BTW I love the garden updates
That is so sweet that you made cookies for the landscapers! All of the food you made looks amazing!
Hi Becky. I keep my fresh raw ginger whole in freezer. Then when I want some I just micro plane as mush as I want. It grates up just fine frozen. Pop the rest back in freezer for next time. If you have thick skin or particularly don’t want any skin bits. Just peel before you freeze it. 🌸
Another video with some great tips. I get my Korean chili flakes at one of our local Asian markets in Vancouver. They have tons of interesting flavors, noodles and vegies to use in your cooking. I make lots of Kim Chi and use their Thai basil in salads and pesto. I really recommend exploring ethnic markets -- middle eastern, Ukrainian and Hispanic. One of the perks of living in a diverse community.
@acrehomestead Becky in the south for cowboy caviar we use black eye peas instead of black beans. Totally different flavor!!!! U should try the black eyed peas instead next time you make the cowboy caviar!!!!
Big no no on storing the excess cinnamon sugar after rolling the cookies in it.
Raw eggs where in the cookies touching all the sugar and cinnamon.
Cross contamination could cause you to become very ill with future use.😝
I’m so thankful my daughters chickens are laying again there’s nothing like farm fresh eggs
Totally agree I loved the richer taste and gorgeous colour when I had my girls
I have to definitely try that cowboy candy salad.....I think every time I see Becky open up her wall oven "how long will it take for her to realize she left foil in that back of the oven" LOL ... I just love this girl so much! 🙂
KITCHEN TIP: Save citrus rinds and run them through your garbage disposal. The citrus juice and oils will cut through and loosen all the gunk in your disposal. You will have a citrus scented kitchen and a clean disposal! BTW, the citrus rinds will help sharpen your disposal blades. You can also use the citrus rinds with white vinegar to make your own spray cleaner. Just soak the citrus rinds in the vinegar for two weeks or more, strain and add half mixture and half water to to a spray bottle.
Hey Becky! I have been a long time fan & have learned so much from your videos. My confidence in canning, prepping food ahead of time for my future self, and having a growing stock of food for my family have all been life changing. Your videos make me feel like I have a friend to hang out with while my husband is at work, which has been so needed as a stay at home mom. You have inspired me to share my story with others here on UA-cam too and it’s already helping me find more community. I couldn’t thank you enough for all that you give to me, it’s so much more than content💛
I think cardamom would be a great replacement for snickerdoodles. I make a cardamom sugar for palmiers and everyone goes crazy for them. I had no idea a cinnamon allergy was that common.
Yum!
That sounds yummy, can i get your recipe?
@@tammymanuel9158 I use the cardamom caramel palmiers recipe from Serious Eats. It’s really really good and looks impressive for how easy they are to make. I go a little heavier on the cardamom then the recipe calls for.
@@palmofmars cool thank you. I am gonna look it up and try them.
I put cardamom in when I make orange “cinnamon” rolls. It’s an underrated spice in most American households
One of my favorite variations of Cinnamon Rolls: Use Clove and Ginger instead of Cinnamon, and instead of an icing topping, I just use Honey as a glaze. It gives that seasonal spice and sweet and they are delicious! I am not allergic to Cinnamon, but I made this one time when I was out of Cinnamon and became my favorite way to make them since.
The self-made vanilla rum is so cool! We bake with artificial vanillin sugar in Ukraine, so it’s basically just another dry ingredient. I need to try making your recipe.
A Sunday with Becky, that’s a win ! Love grilling chicken, so much better ❤
We do have a Hawaiian mack salad no eggs, i have lived in Hawaii for 20 years. Becky did a great job.also no onions, have to be careful so no one gets food poison, it has to do with the humidity. ALOHA
Becky, tonight we tried your Cowboy Caviar WOW!! is that amazing! It is very similar to a Texas Caviar that I have made for years, however the fresh lemon really takes it over the top. That you so much for sharing your recipes and being such a positive person! I appreciate you!
This may sound crazy to everyone but in my over 50 years of cooking and grilling I have never added oil to my teriyaki marinade and on the very rare occasion I add oil to a marinade it’s because I am using a very lean meat like chicken breast and even then just a little but of oil like a tablespoon. If the grills are thoroughly heated and clean (scraped) nothing will stick. It’s more money and calories. Just a thought. The main difference would be in the case of sesame oil which adds flavor but you only need a very small amount.
I have those exact oil and vinegar dispensers and I absolutely love the look of them!!
So simply beautiful
Becky I think you should discard that cinnamon sugar because you rolled the raw dough in all of it and bits the dough remained in the mixture.
This bothered me too. Usually you use cinnamon sugar in baking so maybe if she put it in freezer it would be okay but definitely not in the cabinet 😬
You have a way of cooking that makes so much sense. Curious as to why there is tin foil in the back of your wall oven?
I do cinnamon sugar using brown sugar instead of white sugar. I do have to put it in my blender and pulse it just a few times because it doesn’t mix easy like white sugar does with the cinnamon. Then I store it in a my spice jar. The brown sugar is a game changer if you love cinnamon sugar!!
Better Texas Cavier Ingredients:
Dressing: ACV, EVOO, Sugar/honey
Black eyed peas (essential to the historical recipe), Black Beans, Red Onion, Green Chili's, Pimentos, White Shoepeg Corn, Multi-color bell peppers
I wouldn't use the fresh tomato or avocado because it would really limit the shelf life, or I'd only put that in what could be consumed in that setting.
I LOVE cowboy caviar!! sometimes I eat a hug bowl of it as my meal. A perfect spring/summer staple for sure!!
hey don’t forget the knife thing. it’s a honing tool, wipe the cutting board ** and you need to do it over the sink and wash it off ❤
The snickerdoodles are so delicious. I made these for my family and absolutely love them.
I noticed in your video that you have a piece of foil in the back of your oven. 🙂
I was always wondering why it’s always there
I often keep whole unpeeled ginger in the freezer and just zest when needed from frozen. It’s so quick because the hairy fibers don’t get caught in the grater.
I made vanilla- never knew it was so easy! I gave it out for Christmas gifts 🌺
I never add oil to my marinades. 🤷♀️ I don’t think you NEED it….
Tip: don’t hone your knives over the cutting board! You could get metal in your food. 😕
What makes it Hawaiian? I was waiting for pineapple to go in. Lol
We grill year round in norther Michigan 😊
Your videos inspired me to do an entire day of cooking this past weekend. I got so many meals prepped and in my freezer so I can just thaw and toss in the oven or crockpot. My family is so busy with jobs and school we just need easy dinners I can cook each day and not be stopping for take-out. I love your channel and watch every week to get more inspired!! Thanks for all you do and share on here!!
Thanks to you, I food prep every weekend. So we have healthy meals every night. So those nights I get home and have to take the kids to activities and I don't have time I just throw one of the meals in the oven and dinner is done. No takeout.
Everything looks fabulous! I also love that you gave the tip about not using your knife to keep it from getting dull. You also said in another video about wiping off your knife after honing so as not to get shavings in the food. All of this information is really good for new cooks as well as reminders to those of us that have cooked for awhile. Always teaching. And I see that you also have a Cutco knife. I bought a set when I was 21 and they are still going strong and I'm 70!
Thank you for taking the time out of YOUR day to make the videos for us to watch
That’s very nice of you though it is her way to make a living
Hey Becky, I love watching you in your kitchen... you're such an inspiration to so many, including me! One tip I want to pass along from my chef sister, is that whenever you use mayo, always wipe down the very top of the bowl to the start of the salad because it's so thin on the side, it can spoil very easy. I just take a wet cloth or papertowel, and run it around the top; looks nicer too. Love from Ontario Canada
Thanks for the recipes! You got me motivated today! 😊 your spice jars look awesome btw!
You are a special person. You are good to everyone 😊
Hey Becky, I just watched a video from Chef Rick Bayless and he said if you chop or shred an onion you create a sulfurous compound that will sour or spoil a salad,or a guacamole . It is the compound that creates onion breath or indigestion. He suggested to put the cut or shredded onion in a small strainer and run them under water before adding them to your recipe.
Great tip will have to try that thanks Paula
Good to know
Love Rick Bayless! I have two of his cookbooks!
"Waste Not...Want Not!" Another little thing that you can freeze is lemon zest. Always zest your lemons before you squeeze for juice. Then put the zest in a small zip lock bag and throw it in the freezer. That way if you ever need lemon zest, you'll already have it.
Becky, I love your positive attitude and honesty! You are amazing!
Becky check the back of your wall oven there is a large piece of foil stuck in the back. Eveything looks yummy as always.
Oh the cowboy salad looked like summer! The food looked so good today. Hope you enjoy your weekend with your family. Blessings from Kentucky.
You can grate off the lemon zest and freeze it xx
I love that lid on the pepper flakes!
Substituting some of your white sugar for brown sugar will also result in a chewer cookie thanks to the addition of the molasses.
Becky, I tried freezing the ends and peels for stock and it turned out so nice.. Never thought of this.. So thank you..
Me too!!! Thank you Becky!
The chickens would love all those scraps.
I love and look forward to watching your videos!! You are my relaxation! Can't wait to see your garden. I'm so excited for you and Josh!! Ohh yeah just a tip I've learned from my dad growing up for your grill when you light it get it HOT, then take half an onion and clean the grates with it. Not only cleans, seasons, and adds great flavor! Yummm
Thank you new mommy for finding time to make videos for us. All those sides look great! Glad your weather's getting nicer there so you can enjoy your new property ❤😊😚
I actually grilled marinated chicken from the freezer and your hawaiian mac salad yesterday. So delicious.
Hello from Hawaii!! This is a pretty authentic recipe! Every family has their own recipe. My family tries to pickle the carrots and onions and then mix them in. Some other people add tuna salad or uses spaghetti noodles 😋😋
I've made that cowboy caviar before as a dip. Then mixed the leftovers in with cornbread and baked. It was so good!
I love how you wash all ingredients before you start. It saves so much time.
One tip for ginger. You can freeze it whole and than grate iz as needed with the skins. Freezing it makes it way easier to grate and you have it on hand when needed. This trick changed my ginger game!😊
Love ❤️ seeing the spice lids and the oil decanter. Also, the new pulls for your cabinets!
Love that you treat your landscapers!!❤
I use to freeze cookie dough & i would bake just 2 each morning and put them in my son's lunch. Basically no effort & he loved having freshly baked cookies for lunch.
Thank you becky for all you do for us
Becky, I just wanted to Thank you for your recipes and ideas. I made the garlic knots today and made a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough and froze most of it and just cooked up a few cookies to eat after dinner.
I bought a shaker with a lid and make the cinnamon sugar for it. That way we can sprinkle on baked apples or dessert or cookies and oatmeal etc. And it’s always ready in my spice cupboard
I use it on toast all the time, I then dip my toast in hot chocolate. It's the best!!!!!❤
Cowboy Caviar is my family’s favorite anytime. Our recipe asks for black beans as yours does, but also asks for a southern girl’s favorite black eyed peas. We also will add any other variety of beans and shoepeg corn.
Love, love, love this recipe.
That cowboy salad makes me so excited for summer harvest!
Becky when you are working with the onions, light a candle and sit it near where you are chopping. This will burn up the onion gas that escapes the onion while it is being chopped. Also, keep a stainless-steel knife close and after rinsing your hands run your fingers over the dull side of the knife. It counter acts the onion on your hands.
