    When I saw you cutting that basil, I thought it would be a great idea to use your grow room to start herbs in the late summer, so you could have fresh herbs all winter. You could plant them out in the garden once spring comes again if you didn't want to have to keep up with them. A greenstalk herb garden in that sunny, frost free room would be amazing!

    Hi Becky , you always talk about your fondness for caramellized onions, and I recently read a book that suggested adding a pinch of baking soda because onions cook and caramellize faster in an alcaline enviromnment. I tried it myself and it actually really speeds things up . I just wanted to let you know. Have a nice day!

    Hi Becky. I am a 50 year old woman from Tennessee who hates to cook, clean or garden, but enjoys watching others do it. And, you do it very well, and in a casually educating way that makes it seem enjoyable.
    Brief story I thought you might enjoy hearing. It is truly a small world. I was watching a gaming channel from England, @emmalution, and she was talking about food, and she said that she had learned that nutmeg goes really well in creamy sauces from Acre Homestead! I had to back up the stream to make sure I heard right. I was like hey! She is talking about my friend! Anyway, I am now off to watch this video.
    Keep up the great 'work'.

    It's easy to decrystalize honey. I simply put the unopened jar upright in my oven with the oven light on overnight. In the morning all of the crystals have dissolved back into liquid honey that stays liquid for a very long time. My oven is electric and with the light on it heats up to about 100°F.

    You said you thawed your chicken and then you are going to freeze it again? I didn’t think you were supposed to refreeze chicken?

      If it's frozen raw, defrosted fully, cooked and then frozen from cooked you're fine

      You can safely refreeze meat as long as the meat is safely defrosted. If you use a water bath or just sit it on the counter, you can't. If you do it in the fridge, you're safe. I did the research on it.

    I just recently discovered your channel. I have a very similar cooking style to yours where I do not measure and I make changes to recipes as I go. I will make a note of what I changed or added on my recipes so I can achieve same results thr next time. I have no idea why up until now I havent done meal prep like yours! I genermake extra of whatever I am making and freeze half but I never thought of the dump and freeze recipes! You have now convinced me that some of my recipes I can double but freeze 1 or even 2 more for a later date. Things like stirfry, teriyaki, philly cheesesteaks, etc. Things that are better when freshly made without double the work! Thank you so much. Ive been binging your channel and I love all of your recipe ideas and now I have a full month meal planned! I also learned a lot about freezing extras of stuff like lime juice, zest, onions, spicy peppers, chopped garlic.
    Thank you for all of the inspiration!!

    You've inspired me to make freezer meals. We went from cooking for 4-8 people to 2-3. My partner is not much on leftovers. So now I make a meal for now and put 1 or 2 in the freezer. It's been a game changer. We don't eat out when I'm too tired to cook. We pull a freezer meal. It's helped for my MIL as well. I make her several 'tv dinners' to pop in the air fryer or microwave. She loves them. 😊
    Btw.. it's always shepherds pie no matter what meat we use. Otherwise we call it pot pie. Lol

    Whenever I make lasagna or baked ziti I find that it’s always more flavorful when I season my ricotta well as ricotta by itself is very bland. It takes it over the top! I add an egg, salt & pepper, dried oregano, dried or fresh basil, fresh parsley, and lots of Parmesan cheese.

    Watching this Meal Marathon? I suddenly recalled i met you, for this very reason! I started watching you for these big Meal Preps!! ❤
    I think i was only semi-thrilled, during the first one?
    But, i sure do love watching you Create, ever since! 😊
    Thank you for the hit of Positive!!
    Like many others commenting? I am 64. My variation i different. No grandchild inspiration, nor Dependant to Feed. No.
    I had Stopped cooking, from Depression, Sorrow/Greiving/Handicapped Leg Busting more AND Self Denial for Control in my life. See? Heaps in my Story! I also went and got Plunked back in my Parents' house and both of them are gone. My oldest daughter is Passed and my Ex. My youngest refuses to Eat anything i cook, but for my turkey or chicken breasts. She has Sensory Issues, so she claims.
    My grandsons are both Taken.
    No one left but me!
    I tend to be on Intermittent Fasting, Daily, for the last 15 years...
    With your enthusiasm and positive outlook AND making it Flow so Easy? You Helped me TO look forward TO trying! ❤
    Other Channels incuding some of your friends, i went back TO canning and freezing! I still cook very little, about once a week? But now i have my own canned soup, cabage rolls in jars (my own creation), stews, Cream Soup Bases and Fruit, Sauces and Jams again! So between my few cookings? I pop open a jar and am able to eat healthily, with little leg time!!
    When i go Shopping? Only half an hour in Store, harms my leg for 2 or 3 days. So it is very precious TO have nutrition in a jar, or only cook noodles and put my sauce, etc!
    Thank you, Becky! (And thanks to your Mom, also!) Your Emotional and Enabling Help is Infectious! ❤
