Whoa, the tip about being able to freeze the prewashed baby spinach directly from the store, is a game changer for me. [it can go mushy so fast!] Thank you Becky!
That spinach trick blows my mind!!!: I hate those little bricks of frozen spinach. I'll definitely be upping my cherry tomato growing game next year so I can throw them in the freezer for winter! The big tomatoes don't ripen until August in New England and then come all at once I hate that. Thank you Becky!!
Love from Cameroon, central Africa 😹😹😹 I don’t even do most of your recipes (not that they are bad on the contrary) but your videos are just so soothing. It’s a comfort thing really
I've been thinking about making recipe books for my daughters. I miss my mom and her cooking. She never used printed recipes and I have no idea how they were made. I want them to have my recipes for when I'm no longer here. I love that your family will always have these videos to look back on one day.
I did this recently for my daughter's, and they love them. I update it about once a year. My sister in law helped make a cookbook for my mom's recipes years ago, and that is where I got the idea!
Oh my Becky! You continuously make me think “why didn’t I think of that “!!! Frozen tomato paste pucks….brilliant!! It’s the little things you’re teaching this old lady that keeps me thankful for your posts. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!
I just came across your channel after I bought an instant pot- after watching one of your videos on that it came up on your cleaning oven video and I’ve gutted my kitchen with your video on in the background, I’m 36 weeks pregnant and your videos today have been so helpful with me thinking about freezer meals for dinners with a newborn. The breakfasts one- amazing… we have had our first flurry of snow in Paisley, Scotland 🏴 and can’t wait to try some of your recipes. Your are so down to earth and give helpful advice on trying to tidy as you go because I hate dishes and like the area I’ve cleaned to stay clean as long as possible- I feel you are a kindred spirit 😊
Check out some of her videos from (maybe) a year ago, when she was pregnant. Loads of relatable content, tips and tricks, and delicious food! Happy pregnancy!
Becky, I find you to be wonderful. I got so many of your recipes printed. And my other half has cooked quite a few of your dishes. He is the cook in our family. I am having a lot of trouble achieving ALL of my goals. Do you believe in mental illness? I hope you never suffer from it. I can’t get away from it. I love watching you. I have requested an electric canner for Christmas. I believe will have my other half’s assistance with canning. I did 2 years ago. I love your mother. She is so wonderful! The two of you working together has been amazing. Til next time, Tami
Tip: when folding in egg whites, take a bit and lighten up the flour mixture first, then fold in the remaining whites. It’ll save you time and ensure that lift.
My mom adds a layer of boxed stuffing mix (not rehydrated), mixed with a little melted butter, to the bottom of her chicken pot pie, and it's amazing! I love your videos! Thanks for all the inspiration 😊
I put spinach in a ziplock bag so it takes up less space and use it in smoothies and pasta. Going to make that pasta sauce because I have cherry tomatoes in the freezer from my garden.
My Viennese neighbor back in the 60s taught me to put a bit of dairy in the meatballs to keep them moist and I've done that for the past 50 years. Nowadays that I can't eat any red meat, i still use a tablespoon of yoghurt, cream, sour cream or even powdered milk in the avian ground meat or even ground fish balls. I also love using the olive oils from my conserves. I buy rather expensive Spanish Tuna in Olive Oil and later use that oil for Asian recipes wherever you might use a fish sauce or anchovies. And speaking of tuna, Tuna Pot Pie...Pie Crust, Tuna, White Sauce, Veggies. is a wonderful treat all year long. you could even toss in other Seafood to keep it interesting. Pot Pie Freezer meals...freeze the fillings in molds the size of your pie plates (put a freezer bag in the plate and fill it as you wish) then when you want a pot pie just roll out the dough put the frozen filling in the middle and bake a bit longer for defrosting the filling. when combining two batters one thick one thinner (whites and yolks wars). add the thinner TO the thick first half and then gently folding...I've done it backwards tons of times myself... If you don't like lemon use orange or lime or go wild with grapefruit. hehehe hugs Jim Mexico
All left over turkey or baked chicken gets put into 2 c sealer bags and frozen for future pot pies or chicken casseroles. Your canned chicken would be excellent for this, also. And no, you do not need to refrigerate the filling. That would add to the baking time, and is completely unnecessary. Your pie looks wonderful!!! Boursin cheese is easy to make at home, and a fraction of the cost.
My favorite pot pie recipe is from America’s Test Kitchen. They tell you to make the filling except for the frozen peas. Cut the heat and stir in the peas straight from the freezer so that it cools the filling enough to keep the crust from getting too warm!
I am gluten free and my husband is lactose intolerant and I just cannot tell you how exciting it is to find a recipe that I do not have to modify. Hello, almond cake! Thank you, Becky!
BTW for a Genua sponge like this, traditionally a metal spoon is used to fold the rest of the cake into the beaten egg whites, supposedly it keeps more air in the mix and therefore the cake will raise higher and be lighter. For the same reason the almond flour is sieved before use. Although Becky’s cake looked pretty good done with a plastic spatula.And obviously tasted great!
Hey Becky, great ideas again! What I do, is when I'm making chicken pot pie, I made loads extra of the chicken mix and freeze it, so when I feel like chick pot pie, I have everything in the freezer and, I've made mini 2 bite pies, or individual, or even handpies, and when everything is ready, is so easy and my family loves the pot pie handpies for on the go! Happy holidays from the frozen north!
Becky, I cannot explain how much I love seeing your face when you taste something delicious!! It makes me so happy! Like I am there tasting it with you. Thanks for being you!
My friends and family have had a terrible month/week. Your channel is so soothing. Not only did you inspire me to grow my own tiny garden this summer, but just watching you cooking and cleaning your space, and learning about freezer meals, and food preservation has become such a soft place for my heart when I'm grieving or my friends or family are struggling. I grew up in Vancouver and Kitsap county, up north, but currently live in New England. I love it here but also enjoy seeing glimpses of home. Washington state will always be home. And you feel like home. ❤❤❤
Hello Becky young lady you have truly inspired me. I have been watching you for sometime now, and I just love your enthusiasm and energy. I am quite a bit older than you and I love the fact that you cook from scratch not many people do that anymore. I just cleaned my oven thanks to you. I’m in holiday mode two of my granddaughters are coming over this weekend to bake cookies and macaroons and possibly make some Christmas candy treats. I will continue to enjoy watching and being inspired. Merry Christmas. Bye friend.
Thanks for sharing the White Chicken Enchilada recipe. I used Pepper Jack cheese as that is what I had on hand. Husband liked it but felt it was too bland, so I will make it again but with a bit more spice. Again, thanks for sharing..
I have to tell you that I make you chewy oatmeal raisin cookies pretty regularly and my family requested them as the main Christmas cookie this year. I've been trying to find the perfect oatmeal raisin cookie for years and yours is the one I keep coming back to.
Quick tip for pies to get a nice crisp base and stop you getting a soggy bottom, put your baking sheet in your oven for half an hour while you oven gets up to temp, make you pie and get it ready to go in, then when it's ready to bake , take the tray out, put the parchment on the tray to protect it and make for an easy clean up if you get a spillage, then put the pie on the tray and get it in the oven quick as you can, I used to do this and it makes a big difference to the base of any pie. You can do the same thing when you make pasties, just make each one on a piece of parchment a bit bigger than you need, do the same thing with the baking tray, and use a bench scraper to lift up the straight side of the pastie and steady the other side with your hand to put it on the tray, it takes seconds and helps them cook from the bottom better. Hope this helps, I had years experience of baking before I had to stop because of my spine, I still dabble when I can.
I freeze my tomatoes instead of canning them, but never thought to freeze my cherry tomatoes whole like that. Great ideas! Thanks so much for these great recipes.
Hello Becky and Noah and Baby Acre . Becky I really enjoy you videos at when you are in the kitchen cooking. I was wondering how Baby Acre is doing I know you don't have him on camera but he must be getting big. Any keep up the good work with the new homestead and God Bless you Becky and Josh and Baby Acre from Wendy Bertie a viewer in Toronto Ontario Canada
I love potatoes in my chicken pot pie. Or even a sweet potato on the side really rounds the pie out. That's just me though, my Mom always made it with potatoes, so yummy! Even if you have a few potatoes left that would not be enough to make mashed potatoes for another recipe. Good way to use up a couple of potatoes. 😊❤
We add peas, mushrooms, and broccoli to our chicken pot pies. Also we use Martha Stewarts Pate brisee pie crust. This French (I believe )crust makes all the difference.
I am gluten intolerant and this pasta and cake dinner I will definitely add it to my recipe book. Using gluten free pasta of course. Thanks for trying a gluten free recipe. Ps: I used you and your mom’s hosting course for thanksgiving dinner and I have to say that was the smoothest dinner I have ever hosted, Thanks
Love this idea... Could you do a series of recipes from the different decades? Hug in a bowl could also be make ahead in single serving sizes... AAmmmaaazing! Hugs from Esquimalt
I came up with an idea with the boursin cheese. Cook lasagna noodles. Dry. Smear on the boursin cheese and shredded rotisserie chicken and green onions or chives. Roll up and top with cheese sauce. Very good.
It was hilarious how 1 or both of your little dogs magically showed up for EVERY taste test, except the almond cake one. You certainly had their undivided attention, one's head cocking from side to side as you took bites. When you taste tested the chicken pot pie, I thought bc of the camera angle we wouldn't be able to see a dog if 1 was there. I about fell off my chair when his reflection showed up in the refrigerator at the last moment! As soon as your spoon clanked that last bowl of pasta, the 2 of them appeared. The spontaneity is priceless. I don't think you could plan better theatrics than real life provides. Btw, all of the food looked delicious, just as it always does. God Bless!❤
How much flour did you add to the broth (2 cups) and cream (1 cup)? Linked recipe doesn't include cream, so I'm wondering if you had to add more flour to accommodate the cream? I just love all of your videos!!!
Brilliant idea to throw those tubs of fresh spinach into the freezer! I have had way too much spinach go bad in the fridge. I'm definitely adopting this idea. Love the recipes too!
I love your dogs reaction to you blowing on your food. She was waiting for her bite. We have had the chicken enchiladas with white sauce. Delicious. I made a turkey pot pie not so long ago using my canned turkey base. I had canned turkey with broth and veggies. All I had to do was add some flour to thicken it up. Everyone loved it. So helpful using your own canned products you harvested.
Becky, I learned that when folding whipped egg white you go the opposite way. Fold a little of the whipped whites into the other mixture first. That'll lighten it & make it easier to fold into the rest of the whites 😊
My husband and I were there in Washington when it snowed. We’re back home in Georgia as of today actually. I love it in Washington. While we were on the road driving I binged your videos from old to new lol I was preoccupied the whole way and my husband would tell me when something interesting was coming so I’d look up at it. ❤❤
OMG you’re still harvesting fresh herbs from your garden?! I’m super jealous. I cut all of mine back before winter to turn into herb butter and dry but all of my herbs are currently frozen and covered in snow 😅
Chicken pot pies are also a great way to turn leftovers into another meal. A Mindful Mom has an awesome Chicken and Dumplings Instant Pot recipe that I used the leftovers for my pot pie. I just added frozen veggies and the pie crust. So delicious. Sour cream chicken enchiladas are my favorite. I use to make them for my grandmother. Our youngest daughter is lactose intolerant so it’s one I haven’t made a work around. That may be on the list for next week. Precious memories.
When making chicken pot pie, you definitely want the feeling to be on the cold side so that your cold butter in the pastry does not melt and you get a beautiful golden flaky crust
The auto correct strikes again! I find that as you go to choose what it has offered as an option, it changes before you can hit the option, causing something that you didn't want to be added! Sigh😮!!!
@@cynthiafisher9907 I'm a truck driver. I use talk-to-text. It is safer and easier to just add a corrected text reply using my voice than it is to go in to edit my comment which requires the use of my hands. I apologize if my method of correction triggered you.
Chicken pot pie also freezes excellent. I made 3 sourdough chicken pot pies this fall (1 for dinner, 2 for the freezer). I cant wait to have a frozen one over the busy holiday season!
I could watch you for hours. In fact I do. Funny thing is, I love to bake and cook and even can and freeze stuff. I am 75 years old and you have given me a renewed interest in continuing to cook and bake and canned. I’ve even got excited about making a couple of raised garden beds in my backyard. Of course I don’t know if I have enough energy to raise it or not. L O L but it gives me renewed interest. Our neighbor has a rabbit that they let run loose. His name is Rex and he loves a lot of my plants. So, I’m trying to decide how I can keep him out of my garden. 😂😂our Spring time will prove interesting to say the least. I live in SE TX. Thank you for spending your time with us.
Have many recipes on hand. Only use a few regularly. We are planning to have soup options to mix and match from a base broth since we enjoyed this at a restaurant. We each liked different combos so this could be interesting at home with fewer selections.
Becky just a thought ..I don't know all that goes into the process , but did you ever think about making your own sun-dried tomatoes, since you get such a nice harvest based on this year ...love the Chanel ty for what you share..my inspiration
That pasta recipe looks a real winner, and so simple. Thatnks for the inspiration. Do you ever cook treats for the dogs? Would love some ideas for them using leftovers maybe?
Your pantry and kitchen reset vids gave me the motivation I needed to get up and tackle my post summer mess. Grateful for such a productive year, but whew...tis work ain't it? 😊 Blessings darlin'!
Thanks Becky for giving my family some new options of quick dinner favorites,along with a new lite dessert. I see that as a wonderful bonus. Happy Holidays.
Becky again thank you for sharing your vlogs much appreciated by us all and you are such an inspiration to us all One of your dogs tilted his head I found it so cute Becky have you ever made Cranberry and orange chicken pie Becky this is delicious ❤❤❤
I only just recently found your channel and I am so glad I did! In a world full of chaos and uncertainty, I find watching your videos incredibly soothing and comforting. Also, you remind me a lot of Julia Child. Maybe it has something to do with the homey vibes of your videos or the camera angles you use to film the food you're cooking lol. Much love from your Canadian neighbour
Happy happy happy to follow you on a cooking trip in your kitchen, not being able to work fully in the kitchen is so boring! Yes, I have a ton of recipes laying around...even after regular clearance now and then. As a member in two of Swedens largest chain stores I get a member paper from both of them, filled with recipes and I can not refrain to save some of them! Maybe I take a day looking at them after the weekend, a perfect job as an one handed convalescence and the first thing I will make when healedn are those chicken meatballs!
My 3 year old loves watching your cooking videos. Whenever I put one of your videos on to enjoy, she steals the phone and runs away with it 😂. I think we got a little fan of yours 🥰 She says you're a good cook too :)
Great video, Becky! When I saw the title, I immediately thought of the feta and tomato pasta. I like how you changed it to make it your own recipe. I rarely make a recipe as written. Teaching people to use what they have on hand and modify recipes is a great skill!
So I halved the Tomato and Boursin Cheese recipe with a few tweaks for my liking. I added Basil, Garlic, Fresh cut Onion, Oregano, and I didn't have spinach so I used Zucchini and at the end I added green Olive Juice and Green Olives. OMG I actually did have to use Pasta Water and thank Goodness I kept 2 cups. I used about 3/4 cup though I cooked 1/2 pound of pasta for my small version, but the Parmesan was over the top. I will continue to tweak this, but Amazing smell and quick meal in 40 minutes. Thank you.
A good way to add flavor to the orzo it to brown it in some butter before adding it to the dish to cook. My mother in law does this and the flavor just pops.
I made the chicken and orzo last night for dinner - it was delicious! I did not use rosemary sprigs, but I did have a new grinder of red wine rosemary himalayan salt that I just picked up at Trader Joes, so I used that. It was perfect! I would definitely recommend and make this recipe again :)
Hey Becky. I’m so thankful you are doing recipes for chicken. My husband was bitten by a Texas tick and now has alpha gout which means he can no longer eat the beef or pork he loves. He can only eat things with wings or fish. And I can use as many turkey and chicken recipes I can get for him. Oh and fish as well. I’m not a big fish eater so those would be only his which is fine by me.
Becky! BRILLIANT idea in blending the Boursin sauce! I’ve never made that because my hubby would die with whole tomatoes! 😂🤣😂. Never dawned on me to blend! Thanks!
This is so inspiring to me! I love your dogs in the background as it is just like my house with my dog surfing the floor for oopsies. I just made the turkey version of my enchiladas a few days ago and released the video. It is because of youtubers like you that I am retired and creating videos on the internet. Thank you so much for your inspiring videos!
Wow!! Just made the white chicken enchiladas. It was a hit with my entire family. Even my 2 year old wanted seconds!! Thank you!! Can't wait to try the others 😊
Hi, Becky I got to ask you do you ever bury your veg scraps under your new plants ?? I do this in England. Vegetable scraps under the soil can be used to kick-start a new garden bed too. They add bulk, enrich the soil and will slowly improve soil structure if you add a few worms at the same time. It's rather like creating a miniature worm farm underneath your veggies. I have two worm compost bins as well. they are both well established now. I also have vertical hanging herbs. It's taken me many years but now all walls that face out to our back garden are covered in vertical hanging plants from herbs to small fruits and veg and flowers. My Pinterest has recipes from all over the world. To many
Becky, I made that Boursin cheese recipe and did not blend it and I thought it was so so, I will def blend it next time and I bet it will be delicious! Thanks for the tip! Can’t wait to try the almond cake recipe!
Hi Becky. I’ve loving watching you for now over a year. You remind me of one of my favorite cooks, Rachel ray. I became a subscriber because of your garden. I’m obsessed 🤩. Tip I wanted to share ( I do myself as well, life changer) is having a garbage bowl while cooking on the counter. It’s so easy and makes cleaning so much faster. Something I learned from Rachel ray. 😊. I love your channel and learning a lot.
Great recipe ideas! Question: what variety of carrot are those chubby beauties?? They remind me of carrots I've seen in cooking vids from Japan....Your videos are a highlight of my week. Thank you for all that you share with us. 🥰
Becky, I love how you make homemade meals. We rarely eat out. I get so inspired by watching you create tasty dish. And, I’ve become an Azure Standard customer. I almost cried when I tried a true organic apple. Just like the ones we pick from grandma’s tree. Thank you for directing me to a healthier way to prepare meals. God bless.
Thanks for the tip for the spinach. I'll be using that. A tip for you, when using whisked egg whites and I have to mix anything into them I use a cold metal spoon very gently. It doesn't seem to knock the air out. Thank you Becky.
Orbit’s head tilt when she asked if he thought he was getting enchiladas… soooo cute!
I notice that too 😅❤
I was cracking up 😂😂😂
He was so confused about not getting anything! So cute.
Orbit was saying “but I’m your testing buddy, what the neck?” 😂
Yeah
Whoa, the tip about being able to freeze the prewashed baby spinach directly from the store, is a game changer for me. [it can go mushy so fast!] Thank you Becky!
Ditto! Love spinach, sometimes hard to use it all up in time. Going to utilize the freezer more.
…and the frozen tomatoes, too…I’ll never throw another one away!
Yes never thought of that!!!!
That spinach trick blows my mind!!!: I hate those little bricks of frozen spinach. I'll definitely be upping my cherry tomato growing game next year so I can throw them in the freezer for winter! The big tomatoes don't ripen until August in New England and then come all at once I hate that. Thank you Becky!!
I totally agree! It always amazes me how much I learn every time I watch Becky!
Loads of love from Kenya, East Africa. You are such an inspiration Becky. Thank you for sharing these amazing videos with us.
Oh my goodness! Thank you!
Yes, Becky.... lots of love. We love you here in Nairobi, Kenya... and I, too, rely on viral recipes to keep it fresh.
Love from Cameroon, central Africa 😹😹😹 I don’t even do most of your recipes (not that they are bad on the contrary) but your videos are just so soothing. It’s a comfort thing really
Love from south Africa
Good to meet you too! We love your content Becky! Much love from Kenya

I’m doing the same ! Whenever I have a grand success twice, I write up the recipe, I started during lockdown. I include simple tips too.
I've done this for my daughters as well.
I’m making a recipe box for my daughter and daughter-in-law hopefully I can give it to them for Christmas
Oh my Becky! You continuously make me think “why didn’t I think of that “!!! Frozen tomato paste pucks….brilliant!! It’s the little things you’re teaching this old lady that keeps me thankful for your posts. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!
I love when your eyes get big when you taste your food and you smile.. I know it's a winner when that happens! ❤😊
I love that part too!! It is always nice when you try a recipe and it turns out better than you thought it was going to!@@teresataylor8267
I agree, Becky is awesome
I freeze little bits of everything. Especially buttermilk, fresh ginger and orange juice.
tomato paste pucks, ginger pucks, garlic pucks...what else can I freeze like this?!?

Hi Becky. When making your chicken pot pies, you can also add cubed potatoes as well. I do cook the potatoes half way and then add to my sauce.
I make the enchilada exactly like that except add fresh garlic to the butter in the white sauce and we call it chicken picado. It is so, so good!
Hey Becky, great ideas again! What I do, is when I'm making chicken pot pie, I made loads extra of the chicken mix and freeze it, so when I feel like chick pot pie, I have everything in the freezer and, I've made mini 2 bite pies, or individual, or even handpies, and when everything is ready, is so easy and my family loves the pot pie handpies for on the go! Happy holidays from the frozen north!
I love the idea of chicken pot pie hand pies.
I saw a girl making smoothie in the summer with the spinach frozen, sound like a very good idea!
Becky, I cannot explain how much I love seeing your face when you taste something delicious!! It makes me so happy! Like I am there tasting it with you. Thanks for being you!

Hello Becky and Noah and Baby Acre . Becky I really enjoy you videos at when you are in the kitchen cooking. I was wondering how Baby Acre is doing I know you don't have him on camera but he must be getting big. Any keep up the good work with the new homestead and God Bless you Becky and Josh and Baby Acre from Wendy Bertie a viewer in Toronto Ontario Canada
Orbit and Tibro are both so cute! It’s so sweet how they love keeping you company while you cook! ❤
I love potatoes in my chicken pot pie. Or even a sweet potato on the side really rounds the pie out. That's just me though, my Mom always made it with potatoes, so yummy! Even if you have a few potatoes left that would not be enough to make mashed potatoes for another recipe. Good way to use up a couple of potatoes. 😊❤
I love Orbit's coloring. Especially his mother nature eyeliner too. I love watching your videos, especially your garden videos.
We add peas, mushrooms, and broccoli to our chicken pot pies. Also we use Martha Stewarts Pate brisee pie crust. This French (I believe )crust makes all the difference.
We do too🤤
I am gluten intolerant and this pasta and cake dinner I will definitely add it to my recipe book. Using gluten free pasta of course. Thanks for trying a gluten free recipe. Ps: I used you and your mom’s hosting course for thanksgiving dinner and I have to say that was the smoothest dinner I have ever hosted, Thanks
Love this idea... Could you do a series of recipes from the different decades? Hug in a bowl could also be make ahead in single serving sizes... AAmmmaaazing! Hugs from Esquimalt
I came up with an idea with the boursin cheese. Cook lasagna noodles. Dry. Smear on the boursin cheese and shredded rotisserie chicken and green onions or chives. Roll up and top with cheese sauce. Very good.
6:59 this meal has to be delicious!!!! It looks beautiful!
It was hilarious how 1 or both of your little dogs magically showed up for EVERY taste test, except the almond cake one. You certainly had their undivided attention, one's head cocking from side to side as you took bites. When you taste tested the chicken pot pie, I thought bc of the camera angle we wouldn't be able to see a dog if 1 was there. I about fell off my chair when his reflection showed up in the refrigerator at the last moment! As soon as your spoon clanked that last bowl of pasta, the 2 of them appeared. The spontaneity is priceless. I don't think you could plan better theatrics than real life provides. Btw, all of the food looked delicious, just as it always does. God Bless!❤
Adding fresh, pre washed spinach directly to the freezer is brilliant! Solves so many issues for me. Thank you!
Bravo Becky! These all look incredible and tasty.
It’s the “Orbit head tilts” for me!!!!❤😍😘❤️
How much flour did you add to the broth (2 cups) and cream (1 cup)? Linked recipe doesn't include cream, so I'm wondering if you had to add more flour to accommodate the cream? I just love all of your videos!!!
Okay, so how am I supposed to decide which of these recipes to make for dinner tonight? 😂😂 They all look delicious. Thank you, Becky!
I’m so ready for the enchiladas!
Try a 1/8 -1/4 tsp fresh nutmeg when seasoning the pot pies. It adds to that hug.😊❤
Do you cover any of your herbs and vegetables that are currently in your garden with a cold that you’re getting?
Brilliant idea to throw those tubs of fresh spinach into the freezer! I have had way too much spinach go bad in the fridge. I'm definitely adopting this idea. Love the recipes too!
I love your dogs reaction to you blowing on your food. She was waiting for her bite. We have had the chicken enchiladas with white sauce. Delicious. I made a turkey pot pie not so long ago using my canned turkey base. I had canned turkey with broth and veggies. All I had to do was add some flour to thicken it up. Everyone loved it. So helpful using your own canned products you harvested.
I'm invested now. Lol
Becky, I learned that when folding whipped egg white you go the opposite way. Fold a little of the whipped whites into the other mixture first. That'll lighten it & make it easier to fold into the rest of the whites 😊
My husband and I were there in Washington when it snowed. We’re back home in Georgia as of today actually. I love it in Washington. While we were on the road driving I binged your videos from old to new lol I was preoccupied the whole way and my husband would tell me when something interesting was coming so I’d look up at it. ❤❤
@@cynthiafisher9907 yes it’s very long .😊
Oh Becky you’re blessed with fresh herbs from your garden!❤ thank you for sharing your recipes!
Thanks so much for watching!
How in your area do you have fresh herbs growing,didn’t you just have a lot of snow the other day,I’m confused
What a great idea to freeze fresh spinach in the container it comes in! The orzo looks delicious.
OMG you’re still harvesting fresh herbs from your garden?! I’m super jealous. I cut all of mine back before winter to turn into herb butter and dry but all of my herbs are currently frozen and covered in snow 😅
Chicken pot pies are also a great way to turn leftovers into another meal. A Mindful Mom has an awesome Chicken and Dumplings Instant Pot recipe that I used the leftovers for my pot pie. I just added frozen veggies and the pie crust. So delicious.
Sour cream chicken enchiladas are my favorite. I use to make them for my grandmother. Our youngest daughter is lactose intolerant so it’s one I haven’t made a work around. That may be on the list for next week. Precious memories.
I get so much enjoyment seeing you try new things. I’m very much looking forward to next years garden Becky, you’re so creative! ❤
When making chicken pot pie, you definitely want the feeling to be on the cold side so that your cold butter in the pastry does not melt and you get a beautiful golden flaky crust
Filling* not feeling
The auto correct strikes again! I find that as you go to choose what it has offered as an option, it changes before you can hit the option, causing something that you didn't want to be added! Sigh😮!!!
@@cynthiafisher9907 I'm a truck driver. I use talk-to-text. It is safer and easier to just add a corrected text reply using my voice than it is to go in to edit my comment which requires the use of my hands. I apologize if my method of correction triggered you.
Waiting on my second rise of one hour dinner rolls while watching Becky 😊. Hope they turn out! First time making them.
Chicken pot pie also freezes excellent. I made 3 sourdough chicken pot pies this fall (1 for dinner, 2 for the freezer). I cant wait to have a frozen one over the busy holiday season!
Rosemary is way too potent for me. Basil sounds delicious! I can’t wait to make the orzo ground chicken meatball recipe. Thanks!
I could watch you for hours. In fact I do. Funny thing is, I love to bake and cook and even can and freeze stuff. I am 75 years old and you have given me a renewed interest in continuing to cook and bake and canned. I’ve even got excited about making a couple of raised garden beds in my backyard. Of course I don’t know if I have enough energy to raise it or not. L O L but it gives me renewed interest. Our neighbor has a rabbit that they let run loose. His name is Rex and he loves a lot of my plants. So, I’m trying to decide how I can keep him out of my garden. 😂😂our Spring time will prove interesting to say the least. I live in SE TX. Thank you for spending your time with us.
Have many recipes on hand. Only use a few regularly.
We are planning to have soup options to mix and match from a base broth since we enjoyed this at a restaurant. We each liked different combos so this could be interesting at home with fewer selections.
When you take another bite I know it must be yummy. I am so making this soon...
Becky just a thought ..I don't know all that goes into the process , but did you ever think about making your own sun-dried tomatoes, since you get such a nice harvest based on this year ...love the Chanel ty for what you share..my inspiration
That pasta recipe looks a real winner, and so simple. Thatnks for the inspiration. Do you ever cook treats for the dogs? Would love some ideas for them using leftovers maybe?
Your pantry and kitchen reset vids gave me the motivation I needed to get up and tackle my post summer mess.
Grateful for such a productive year, but whew...tis work ain't it? 😊
Blessings darlin'!
Happy Saturday Becky, what a treat to get a new video today! ❤
My husband made the chicken enchiladas for dinner! They were phenomenal!!! We will be making them again!
Thanks Becky for giving my family some new options of quick dinner favorites,along with a new lite dessert.
I see that as a wonderful bonus. Happy Holidays.
You are my new favorite UA-camr! Thank you for posting useful, inspiring videos❤
Becky again thank you for sharing your vlogs much appreciated by us all and you are such an inspiration to us all
One of your dogs tilted his head I found it so cute
Becky have you ever made Cranberry and orange chicken pie
Becky this is delicious ❤❤❤
OMG 😮!!! That sounds amazing! It would also work for turkey leftovers!
I only just recently found your channel and I am so glad I did! In a world full of chaos and uncertainty, I find watching your videos incredibly soothing and comforting. Also, you remind me a lot of Julia Child. Maybe it has something to do with the homey vibes of your videos or the camera angles you use to film the food you're cooking lol. Much love from your Canadian neighbour
Happy happy happy to follow you on a cooking trip in your kitchen, not being able to work fully in the kitchen is so boring! Yes, I have a ton of recipes laying around...even after regular clearance now and then. As a member in two of Swedens largest chain stores I get a member paper from both of them, filled with recipes and I can not refrain to save some of them! Maybe I take a day looking at them after the weekend, a perfect job as an one handed convalescence and the first thing I will make when healedn are those chicken meatballs!
My 3 year old loves watching your cooking videos. Whenever I put one of your videos on to enjoy, she steals the phone and runs away with it 😂. I think we got a little fan of yours 🥰 She says you're a good cook too :)
Everything is Amazing Becky ❤
Yum!!!
You are so pretty lady!
Great video, Becky! When I saw the title, I immediately thought of the feta and tomato pasta. I like how you changed it to make it your own recipe. I rarely make a recipe as written. Teaching people to use what they have on hand and modify recipes is a great skill!
All of it looks delicious!
Great video!
So I halved the Tomato and Boursin Cheese recipe with a few tweaks for my liking. I added Basil, Garlic, Fresh cut Onion, Oregano, and I didn't have spinach so I used Zucchini and at the end I added green Olive Juice and Green Olives. OMG I actually did have to use Pasta Water and thank Goodness I kept 2 cups. I used about 3/4 cup though I cooked 1/2 pound of pasta for my small version, but the Parmesan was over the top. I will continue to tweak this, but Amazing smell and quick meal in 40 minutes. Thank you.
A good way to add flavor to the orzo it to brown it in some butter before adding it to the dish to cook. My mother in law does this and the flavor just pops.
I made the chicken and orzo last night for dinner - it was delicious! I did not use rosemary sprigs, but I did have a new grinder of red wine rosemary himalayan salt that I just picked up at Trader Joes, so I used that. It was perfect! I would definitely recommend and make this recipe again :)
Hey Becky. I’m so thankful you are doing recipes for chicken. My husband was bitten by a Texas tick and now has alpha gout which means he can no longer eat the beef or pork he loves. He can only eat things with wings or fish. And I can use as many turkey and chicken recipes I can get for him. Oh and fish as well. I’m not a big fish eater so those would be only his which is fine by me.
Becky! BRILLIANT idea in blending the Boursin sauce! I’ve never made that because my hubby would die with whole tomatoes! 😂🤣😂. Never dawned on me to blend!
Thanks!
Yes, totally have recipes saved to try. I need to organize them. Maybe that would help me?
This is so inspiring to me! I love your dogs in the background as it is just like my house with my dog surfing the floor for oopsies. I just made the turkey version of my enchiladas a few days ago and released the video. It is because of youtubers like you that I am retired and creating videos on the internet. Thank you so much for your inspiring videos!
All of these recipes look so good, especially the chicken orzo and lemon almond cake. Thanks for sharing.
Wow!! Just made the white chicken enchiladas. It was a hit with my entire family. Even my 2 year old wanted seconds!! Thank you!! Can't wait to try the others 😊
Hi, Becky I got to ask you do you ever bury your veg scraps under your new plants ?? I do this in England. Vegetable scraps under the soil can be used to kick-start a new garden bed too. They add bulk, enrich the soil and will slowly improve soil structure if you add a few worms at the same time. It's rather like creating a miniature worm farm underneath your veggies. I have two worm compost bins as well. they are both well established now. I also have vertical hanging herbs. It's taken me many years but now all walls that face out to our back garden are covered in vertical hanging plants from herbs to small fruits and veg and flowers.
My Pinterest has recipes from all over the world. To many
I love it when the 2 furbabys are around n the looks they give.. totally cute!
Oh that cake looked so Divine! Almost like a Gooey Buttery cake.
Natashas Kitchen has very good recipes, I been cooking for a century with her recepies. I made her egg rolls last weekend.
Becky, I made that Boursin cheese recipe and did not blend it and I thought it was so so, I will def blend it next time and I bet it will be delicious! Thanks for the tip! Can’t wait to try the almond cake recipe!
I made the pasta sauce tonight and it was AMAZING! Another plus for this recipe is that it is made in a single pan so clean up was really easy!
Orbit is adorable! Turning his head!! Watching you like a hawk!!😂😂😂
Hello!! Becky you’re looking really good in this video! Looks like you’re sliming down nicely! I love your show!
Your herbs look so green and healthy!
Hi Becky. I’ve loving watching you for now over a year. You remind me of one of my favorite cooks, Rachel ray. I became a subscriber because of your garden. I’m obsessed 🤩. Tip I wanted to share ( I do myself as well, life changer) is having a garbage bowl while cooking on the counter. It’s so easy and makes cleaning so much faster. Something I learned from Rachel ray. 😊. I love your channel and learning a lot.
Great recipe ideas! Question: what variety of carrot are those chubby beauties?? They remind me of carrots I've seen in cooking vids from Japan....Your videos are a highlight of my week. Thank you for all that you share with us. 🥰
Becky, I love how you make homemade meals. We rarely eat out. I get so inspired by watching you create tasty dish. And, I’ve become an Azure Standard customer. I almost cried when I tried a true organic apple. Just like the ones we pick from grandma’s tree. Thank you for directing me to a healthier way to prepare meals. God bless.
Thanks for the tip for the spinach. I'll be using that. A tip for you, when using whisked egg whites and I have to mix anything into them I use a cold metal spoon very gently. It doesn't seem to knock the air out. Thank you Becky.
Those dogs are heartbreakers! Are that Australian Shepherds or Mini's? I have a 4 month old Mini Aussie, she has always been a beauty....
The mozzarella and tomatoes! Yum!
