I don't have a homestead, I don't even own a home. I don't prep my meals, or have a big family. And yet, I absolutely love love love these videos. I've been watching them to destress and I adore the way you speak to your audience and explain everything. This is great!
Same here lol glad I'm not the only 1 who finds comfort in her videos
You all can add a third member. I love this lady. She's just straight up real. You get the good and the bad. Even the Wth moments. Love watching her videos. ❤
X2❤
Same!
I gave up watching bad news on tv a long time ago and replaced it with homesteading vlogs on CZcams. It really does take the stress out of life.
My late husband was an avid hunter and id make about 3 dozen breakfast burritos for him to take and share with the men that went with him. I used roasted potatoes, onion, red and green bell pepper, eggs and cheese. Id individually double wrap each burrito in foil and all he had to do was put them in a large frying pan with a lid and heat them slowly as they sat by the fire sipping their coffee or hot chocolate in the mornings.
The men with him raved about those breakfast burritos complaining that their wives refused to go to "all the trouble" of making them..lol..
The morning the men left, i got up at 3am to cook blueberry pancakes with bacon and sausage to send them off for their long drive ahead..
I loved doing that for my late husband and miss it very much..❤
RebeccaSwift, What a wonderful memory to treasure about your late husband! My hubby’s passion was bass fishing! I always enjoyed getting the bass fillet’s and making a bass étouffée! Bass fish is a mild sport fish and is fabulous cooked in any way you can dream up!I am from Louisiana so cooking this is a snap for me, and no big deal. My husband’s fishing buddies absolutely loved it! Now, those days are the great memories for the both of us as his health no longer allows him to go fishing in a bass boat. And, sadly, most of his fishing buddies are now all gone, and only a few bass buddies are left. But, the memories are wonderful and when we get to missing those days, I make a catfish version of this, because bass is a sport fish and is never sold! So, I use catfish fillets and sometimes add shrimp, which makes a very tasty étouffée, served over rice! I really miss the bass fillets, and the fellas who were such great fishing buddies and shared the bass fillets so generously! We miss those days and all of those fellas! ❤😔
What I love about Becky is that she is all over the place, making a mess, dropping stuff, forgetting stuff JUST LIKE NORMAL MUM. All the stuff you see these days is so perfect and definitely not realistic, particularly if you have any children. It’s good to watch you and know that we are all normal, I think that’s one reason you are so popular 😊😊😊
Yes Becky sure is the real deal. I watched another video yesterday it was so perfect, the hair the kichen had nothing in it. No mess no nothing. It was so boring. I love Becky’s videos, she is wonderful and real!
Check out Delicious Bread Machine making ….so many good breads and even you don’t have the machine you can still make it the traditional way…
I love throwing a recipe in a couple of hours before dinner and have warm fresh bread with it….you put the ingredients in and walk away checking it once ……I put my machine in my enclosed porch and the heat is out there instead of the kitchen.
I use my instant pots to avoid running the oven and I baked lasagna in my electric skillet…..Rose Red has a recipe for baking bread in the instant pot…haven’t tried it.
My air frier oven bakes as well dehydrates as well air fries…another heat saver. I put this and that pieces of veggies at once in it and it dehydrates quickly without having to have a large load for my Excalibur dehydrator.
I love being able to cook multiple meals at one time. Today I had two canners running, bread maker, ice cream maker and brownies baking in the air fry oven….12 quart instant pot had two chickens cooking and the 8 quart had 5 lbs of potatoes cooking for multiple recipes.
I felt for Becky cleaning the freezer out…..a few years back ours went out in the upper barn and didn’t know….yuk….I had filled it with $400 worth of meat.
Recently another died while we were camping …it had some partially frozen items thank goodness….but it broke my heart to throw away what I had prepped as she felt……
So for the last week I’ve been canning and dehydrating just about everyday so if there’s power failure I’m not losing a lot of foods.
We are not guaranteed having gas to run our generator….five years back ours went out and it was out five days……gas stations were closed and we had to drive 40 min one way to fill the cans and they limited the amount you could buy.
Becky has such a big area for her gardens and so blessed to have someone to do the building of them.
I always share her videos 👩🏻🍳
Have you freeze dried your onion pieces? Saves on freezer space. I don’t have one but I dehydrate them and I make onion powder also.
Zucchini and squash, celery, mushrooms, carrots, garlic, onions, peppers of all kinds are so nice to have in a jar ready to put into a recipe ….my hubby isn’t a veggie eater but he gets them in powders and lol what happens in the kitchen stays in the kitchen…🤭
Becky is such a great example to all young housekeepers and even us seasoned ones.😂
and in her slippers!!!
I was watching one of your videos the last time my elderly mother- in-law came to stay with us. She got hooked. Every day she would ask, "What's our girl Becky doing?". Your place and your garden are a dream and you are a wonder woman. Thanks for taking us along for the ride and for educating us in an interesting way. I just canned my first batch of jalapenos and hot banana peppers. I have my fingers crossed that I did everything right. Last night my hubby asked me how many freezers you had. He thinks we need at least one more. LOL
BE careful about getting more freezers as I now have 4. I also have a small farm though
2am in Australia and insomnia strikes= Becky to the rescue 🤗❤️👌
Something is going on in the world because in South Carolina me and some of my family are having problems sleeping also
Me too in Florida.
I’m in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
@@paulineparker3662 I don't know if it's because seasons are about to change but what ever it is I can't wait for it to be over I need to not wake up tired it's draining
I'm from Adelaide
Becky, it's an idea to use parchment paper to wrap your burritos... They will freeze beautifully, actually be easier to reheat (saran wrap kind of melts in the microwave), keeps plastic chemicals out of your food when reheating, helps the planet, etc... ❤
I hate trying to wrap with saran wrap
You take the plastic wrap off when you reheat them. If not you'd ruin the food.
@@mrsginny just heat mine quickly in the microwave wrapped in a paper towel. It helps absorb the water the burritos give off, and they do give off some water.
I like to use parchment paper and foil. Then I can warm up in the oven or air fryer (for crispier tortillas), and they are done by the time I'm out of the shower! Or if I'm in a hurry and last resort...take off foil and microwave quickly! 😋
@queenbee3647 yeah, that makes sense
I watch a lot of yr videos 2, 3 or 4 times. I just enjoy them and I learn so much. I made tomatoe soup from scratch tonight and my husband and son said it was better then any soup they have ever eaten including in a restaurant. Its all because of you. Thanks Becky. I was so proud of myself tonight and you did that xx
Oven-baking the meatballs YES! I’ve discovered 1/4 cup beef broth in bottom of pan is a Game Changer
Becky, the view from your kitchen window is absolutely stunning. My, my, my what a blessing! Thank you for all you do…always great content.
Thanks you! We love it
@@AcreHomestead Becky what is the official name of that 'Meat Masher' thing you were using? I keep seeing it in people's videos and I could use one.
@@Ms.Byrd68 most stores that sell kitchen utensils carries them. The cheapest place to get one is at your local Dollar Tree store. If you have one close to you. That is where i got mine. They are an awesome tool to have in the kitchen. I have always used a wooden spoon till i got one. I absolutely love it. So much easier than my wooden spoon. I call it a meat masher.
@@tammymanuel9158 Thank you, I try mine!
Becky, I have a bacon ends trick to share with you. I buy a lot of bacon ends from a local butcher. I pulse the big chunky ones in the food processor and then freeze them in small portions. I render those off as the base for a soup or veggie casserole type dishes. Even if I don't add any other meat it makes it rich and complex. I think this might be an Italian truck, made Midwestern! It is delicious.
I just watched a CZcams video by a woman with 11 kids who made a huge batch of baked beans and put a chunk of the bacon ends in each jar. Seemed like a great idea.
@@sherriekemper1828 little mountain ranch?
Was that “little mountain ranch”? I love watching her to
@@zoec3527 yes!
@@sherriekemper1828Chelsea Made pork and beans, not baked beans. They are similar.
Hey Becky. I was making pancakes this morning. The same recipe I've used for 50 years. Except today I forgot the measurements! I couldn't believe how confused I felt. I've just realised what I'd done. I'd doubled the recipe without thinking about it! You, Becky have reprogrammed my baking brain😂. I did wonder why there were so many pancakes. Enough for another couple of breakfasts in the freezer too❤
Love your videos! I just wanted to share a couple of tidbits. I have discovered that I can use my Kitchen Aid mixer with the dough hook to mix ingredients for meatloaf, sausage balls, etc. Makes is so much easier, faster, less mess! Also, for those of us who live alone, a lot of recipes like casseroles, pastas, quiche, etc can be frozen in single serving glass containers...so easy to pull out of the freezer and pop it in the oven. When I make quiche or cornbread, I always cook it in muffin pans so I can freeze in a large zip-lock and pull out only one or two at a time.
Hi Becky- Hoisen Sauce is easy to make -
1/4 cup soy sauce
▢3 Tablespoons molasses
▢2 teaspoons sesame oil
▢1 tablespoon rice vinegar
▢2 Tablespoons peanut butter
▢2 garlic cloves finely minced
▢2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
▢1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
▢1 Tablespoon water
▢1 teaspoon cornstarch
Ha! Same recipe I posted to her few hours before 😅
That is fantastic! Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the recipe. Do you cook it?
Or miso instead of peanut butter?
OH THANK YOU!!!!!! I never have it when I need it and I'm really trying to learn to make everything from scratch. This is definitely going in my recipe book!!!
"A little extra cheese never hurt anyone." Words to live by. 🤣😍
Hello Becky I want to do more gardening and I saw you walk out to your raised beds. What is that plastic you have on your raised beds thank you
I am new to all this ❤
We love you, Becky, you are a natural warm hearted person
I love watching you direct the symphony of food prep! I am 77 and love to cook. I used a lot of your techniques when all the kids were home. It's so much fun to watch you and it brings back so many wonderful memories. It's not much of a challenge now, unless all 12 of the GRANDs show up. Then it's crazy,busy and fun!! I'm watching, because it's never too late to learn!😊❤
Just an FYI-Snap the parsley at the base of the stem which tells it to send out new growth and your plants will be very full all the way up to winter.
Would this work for Basil as well?
@@Cookingwithaprilbasil is harvested at the top of the plant. Also, as soon as you see a flower bud in basil you need to snip it back at the leaves just below it. 🌿 😊
Loved watching❤️
@@beth4059
Thank you. Maybe that’s why my Basil is growing up not out.
@@beth4059 Thank you! Novice here.
I find myself cheering for the little bits (like the hasbrown potatoes!) to fall and am so happy when I see Orbit &/or Tibro getting snacks while keeping you company in the kitchen 😍
Yea for the dogs they are part of the family and they don't bother her so surely they shouldn't bother followers
The home is clean dogs well kept, enjoy!@@😂
@@Carol-tl5ff as a dog lover and home cook, I appreciate when I dogs make clean up easier, but to each their own I guess 🤷♀️
@@mousemeat1352 Becky constantly amazes me with everything she gets done! Im so grateful that she posts as regularly as she does because she helps me body double and navigate my ADHD. Thanks @Becky!
The dogs underfoot would drive me nuts!
Lol me too. I have 2 little dogs of my own that pretty much Hoover the kitchen floor when I’m cooking in the kitchen lol.
Hi Becky... Did you know that if you use regular saran wrap, as I do, store it in the freezer because it makes it sooooo much easier to use! It doesn't fold up on itself! My sister has to use it for dialysis and she told me this secret. Love your videos! Best wishes to you and your family
Hey, thank you for posting that tip!..I will be doing just that..❤
I love how the potatoes go straight to the floor for the dogs. Becky has talked about her dogs cleaning up the floor for her before, but I don't think I recall seeing it happen before.... and this was captured so nicely. Her dogs are so pretty
I live alone. I love meatloaf but not so big on leftovers. I make a big double batch of meatloaf and make "meatbombs" in my muffin tins. I simply spray the Pans with cooking spray then scoop the mixture into muffin tins. I freeze this and once frozen I pop into freezer bags. I can pop a couple in the oven... fix a side and dinner is done!
Great idea.
We do same with family pack of 🐔 breadt or thighs; ÷ into 3 separate seasoning/flavors, and roast. Then pkg it up in meal sizes, we store it all in gallon bag so it does not get lost; (thaw and do sides.)
😊
I used to make mini meatloaf for my mom and step-dad all the time. They absolutely loved them
Great idea, thanks! I love meatloaf but no one else in my family likes it so I stopped making it. Now I'll do it your way 🎉
@isabellapapela so glad you like this idea! Works great for convenience!
You know this video is great timing because I'm having my Achilles Tendon repair surgery so I will be non weight bearing for 5to6 months and my husband won't have to be burden with fixing dinner every day with these delicious freezer meals. Thank you Becky.
I mean he can use the freezer meals ❤
Good luck with your surgery. Take care!
I wish you a speedy recovery. I had to be off a ankle three months once and I thought that was bad enough. Dealing with a shoulder now...six months and hopefully can completely use it. God's speed.
I had surgery on 6/30 and again on 7/3 and I am so glad I prepped meals for the freezer. Still using them on 7/24, along with meals my husband has made on his own.
I get good ideas from you. I live alone, and I work full time 3rd shift. When I cook, you’d think I’m cooking for a crowd. I make good use of my freezer. I usually have a variety of frozen meals to grab for work.
Sometimes meatloaf and mashed potatoes, homemade deep dish pizza, baked beans, chicken tenders, applesauce, and more.
your videos have been a light in the darkness in recent weeks. thank you for such bubbly and warming content. youre a brilliant woman and i aspire to make my own home grown stuff too one day
Becky, freeze dried onions is where it's at! I FD about 100 lbs of chopped onions (I use my food processor) each year and use them on anything I don't need fresh. So convenient. Same with bell peppers.
Thank you! I'm going to borrow my friends dehydrator and try this. Any other tips for this, much appreciated.
I do the same!
@@loiscarteaux9389 just an fyi - dehydrators are very diff then freeze dryers. If you are interested in getting a freeze dryer, Harvest Right offers a layaway plan - $250 down then pay as you can (0 interest) until the full amount is paid - then they will ship it to you.
@NaturalLivingHomesteader I am wondering if you need to reconstitute the onions before you use them in cooked recipes?
@@AB-ol5uzthanks for the information, I've been wanting to get one. Just can't afford it all at once.
I always love seeing the look of surprise and joy on her face when she tastes her food and she realizes it tastes amazing :)
yes those big eyes lol
I just stumbled across your videos by accident a couple of days ago and have been binge watching your freezer meal videos, I'm so inspired! It's exactly what I'm looking for, I'm going to start working full time again and won't have time to cook every day, but this is exactly what I'm going to do! Make a whole bunch of freezer meals that we can just heat up.
I don't live on a farm and don't have all of your fresh ingredients but I will buy what has a good price that week and make some of your recipes!
Sorry if my English isn't spot on, I'm from Sweden 😊
Just a little warning for all who are canning pickles or anything using vinegar. 👇
This year you cannot just grab a plastic jar of vinegar or even pickling vinegar without checking the label.
Safe pickling requires 5% acidity....for the first time we are seeing 4% acidity vinegar... on the shelves. That renders anything pickled in the 4% NOT shelf stable.
There are several canning FB pages where everyone is warning ...for the first time ever...to check those labels or you could be throwing out many jars of unsafe pickled veggies.
Thanks for this Becky. I really enjoy your marathon cooking days. For many years I owned a restaurant and cooked a lot every day. Now retired, I get no joy out of cooking for the two of us. Marathon cooking days are right up my alley and I'm inspired by you.
Becky I just love learning from you and watching you cook! I’m 60 so I’ve been cooking a long time but I learn so much from you. I have started making the breakfast burritos and my husband loves them too 😊. I do want to ask you to do something. Please, please, please pour your hot grease into a metal pan and let it cool a bit before you put into the glass jar or just let it cool in the pan. A jar exploded while my aunt was pouring hot grease in a jar many years ago and she had very bad 3rd degree burns on her arms and legs. It might not ever happen to you but it’s not worth taking a chance. Love you! Shellie in Mississippi 😊
Hope she saw your message. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much! I enjoy watching you create meals and give me new ideas. My family is back home again and I need to start meal prepping again.
Oh my goodness! I truly wish you had been my Home Economics teacher! You have a great ability to communicate a more efficient way to operate in the kitchen. With more parents needing to work one or more jobs to make ends meet these skills are of great value. Also, some of the easier/safer tasks can be done by children right along with the parents as they work. Fosters a healthy way for families to spend more quality time together. Thank you for your channel!
I’ve started doubling dinners when I cook because of you! Saving me so much time!
She got the “bigger bowl” memo, and the “crack your eggs singularly”. Great job Becky. Looks so good.
Now just the dishwasher 😂
Karen’s Back !!!! Why are you so stuck on what she does in her kitchen ? I think you need some excitement in your life 😂 if you don’t like what she does don’t watch
Next we need to have her get the memo that "Josh and I's" is not good grammar, as there is no such word as "I's".
@@robertmaylock9532 Really ? Get a Real Life... I assure you , it's out there.
I loved watching this! I watched while I spent the afternoon cooking and making freezer meals. We have a guest here for a week, and he's from Estonia. I made some blueberry muffins for breakfast. Decided to fix lasagne for supper, so I made 3. Then I made 2 pans of chicken enchiladas . So I have 4 freezer meals and had the pleasure of listening to you.
I have learned so much from your channel. I love your meal preps! I don’t know why but when I watch your videos, they inspire me. I’m going to plant a garden again this year, I haven’t done one in a couple of years. Thanks!
I squeal with joy whenever i see these! I love all your videos but the big freezer meal ones are my favorite 🤗 thank you for always sharing with us, becky!
Why don’t you have your own tv show! Love your thoughtfulness and how frugal you are!!!!
Raised 5 children, had to work aswell. Never thought of preparing multi meals, however now my youngest is 48, hardly cook anymore I love watching you prep all that food. Great work.
Such a sweet lady! I am vegan but when your video played in my rotation I didn't turn it because I enjoyed your beautiful face and spirit! Much love, may you be blessed ♥️
I now make sure my dishwasher and sinks and drainer pans are empty, my compost bags are handy (I put my scraps in brown paper bags before I put in my compost bin) and my trash can is right by my prep area-all thanks to you..thank you.
I am making breakfast burritos today! The biggest tip I have is to make a white gravy with the sausage grease and drippings and mix that into the cooked eggs and sausage then cheese when cooled. It holds it all together when folding the burritos and tastes great! I don't put in potatoes because the extra large tortilla is enough carbs for us, and I use about 2.5 eggs per burrito. Growing teen boy needs protein!
The gravy is a great idea thanks
I like to add a bit of salsa to the mix and I also use veggie sausage and add more veggies.
I just discovered your channel and I don't know what it is about your energy or personality but I've just spent the evening cooking. I'm 25 weeks pregnant and let's say that my energy levels have been quite low recently so thank you for the sense of accomplishment I feel tonight. A new fan from France...
I love you cook with eye measurements to taste we put everything in our palm to measure, i was teaching my granddaughter who is 7 to cook snd measuring everything in my hands she got the measuring spoons out as she was writing the recipe down snd i told her how much, put it in her hand teaching her how it felt she measured actual amount which amazed me were spot on… that winter my daughter found her recipes she saved in her jewelry box grandpa made for her… lol i learn from my aunt who had the u-pick gardens i spent every summer at her home!
A Becky freezer cooking day was exactly what I needed today! ❤ I'm impatiently waiting until the fall so I can garden because I live in Florida so living vicariously here
Yay! I hope you enjoy!
@flyhighlittlebirdie I used to live in Melbourne, 32935, where are you?
Hi Becky, thank you for all the wonderful recepies. I live in Denmark, have a 40 square meter "park" where I grow vegdeables, and herbs in my raise beds. I live alone, so I cant eat all I'm growing, so I give a lot away. Watching your channel makes me go by a freezer this spring, so I can chop and freeze for the winter, instead of giving all away in the summer, but have nothing for myself in the winter :) And the food taste SO much better, when you grow it yourself. But I need to put in a small text in my comment to you from the Danish Food Agency, cause it brakes my heart to see you use bare hands with nail-polish in raw meat - or any food for that matter. I hope, I dont affend you, but here it is: Dirt from nails or jewelry on the hands can end up in your food
Finger rings and long, painted nails do not belong in cooking. This increases the risk of bacterial growth, explains Helle Eriksen, who is a bromatologist at the Danish Food and Drug Administration.
"There is a risk of transferring the dirt from nails or jewelry on the hands to the food. And in the dirt there can be bacteria and viruses that can be transferred to the food. . When that said, I look forward to follow your channel
In our restaurants it's that way. No polish or jewelry, but Becky is home cooking for family.
I just visited your beautiful Vancouver area on our way to Mt. St Helen's, and then down the Oregon coast line. I'm already missing the beauty and weather of the Pacific North West. It's 110° here in the southern San Joaquin Valley in CA. Just 2 days ago I was enjoying weather in the mid 60°s.
You did motivate me today to do something with the abundance of eggs and produce we came back to. Thanks for that!😊
Your freezer meal episodes are my all-time favorite.
A little hack that I do with ginger is I keep a nub in my freezer and I grate it from frozen.
Thank you Becky for making these meals, I was so excited when you said in your last video that you were planning on making these. I have rewatched your old videos of freezer meals for inspiration multiple times lol😊
Excellent variety of meals. You actually covered breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Thank you, Becky!
Becky your garden is beautiful as is your home. You are so amazing mom and wife and daughter. Bless your family
Thankyou Becky, I am inspired. At the moment I feel I spend my days focusing of meals only, so having more freezer prep is going to be a good mental holiday for me. Thanks again.
Love watching you cook. It brings backs so many memories from when our kids were young and I did big batch cooking. My OCD gets the best of me though because from time to time, like near the end of this video, the video flips and does a mirror image of your kitchen. Also wanted to mention that I use to manage a Subway. When you first take your bread or rolls out of the oven if you will spray the tops lightly with water they will soften quicker and they will usually stay soft. You don't need a lot. Just a couple of spritzs on each loaf or roll.
Even at my most unproductive moments, your videos turn my day around and make me feel productive. Thank you for all you do Becky! You've really inspred me. I went from eating out most days for lunch at work as I didn't have the energy to meal prep and now I've been meal prepping for a solid 3 months and have a freezer full of prepped meals all with the help of your videos and recipes. My favorite is the pumpkin pasta.
I was so excited when you said yesterday you were doing a large batch of freezer meals! Love your channel, inspiration, cooking from scratch and your joyful smile of glee when tasting your food! It makes me smile❤
The view of your backward from your kitchen window is stunning!! You can see all the hard work put into it! ❤
This was such a treat Becky. I always love when you do these bulk prep/ freezer meals. I love the idea of just making the curry sauce ahead of time that way you can vary the veggies and proteins! Ty so much! I really appreciate all that you do!!💐
Becky, take your pointer finger, & push a hole in the middle of each patty. This ensures even cooking/grilling, & the patty won't form a little hill in the center. 😊❤❤❤
Came across your channel while looking for freezer prep for postpartum! Can’t tell you how much I love your channel !! Thank you for sharing ! ❤
Same 😅
The view from your kitchen window is stunning especially the flowers near the windows and trees in the horizon.
Loved this video!! Getting ready for back to school frozen meal prep and I love seeing how you do it all in one day! I usually only get up to 4 dinner meals done. I never considered doing breakfast until watching your channel, so I will for sure be doing that for the kids this year. Thank you for all that you do!
Becky, I applaud you👏👏👏I am in total awe of your planning and execution of this humongous project! Now sit back and relax and more than anything........ enjoy the fruits of your labour😊
Becky, I would love to see your top 10-15 favorite freezer meals. And maybe Josh's too if they are different. I often think about the moroccan or mediterranean small meatloafs you did at your other house. They were so original and different from the typical freezer meals.
So organized, clean, practical and inspiring...keep on doing such a great job, God bless you and your family!
Our church has monthly potlucks and this video is being saved for future reference for church potluck meal ideas. Thanks for sharing these recipes! Living with roommates and not having a full freezer to myself this is not practical for me to cook this much at one time but I do make big batches then eat lots of leftovers as part of the trick to eat good homemade scratch meals even with chronic illnesses and disabilities. The other is using things like my electric pressure cooker and oven so that I don't have to stand and cook.
So inspirational! Always love watching you. Especially love these marathon cooking sessions! Love the warmth and realism!
I have found lining your cookie sheet with foil, saves lots of time cleaning up!
I live in the Midwest and when sleep won’t happen, I often watch Becky cooking! These meals prepared ahead and frozen will be delicious and so handy when you don’t have time or if you just want to relax! I often watch your videos and I always finish watching, as each one is very informative! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
My kids graduation party is tomorrow and i have so much to clean and prep to pull it all together. I’m so excited to have your video to play along with the busy afternoon I’m about to have. Thank you for always sharing your kind attitude and helpful tips to make life smarter not harder 💛🌿
Good luck!!
I love your videos. You really pull me right into your kitchen and make me feel like I am right there. I watch all your videos but especially enjoy the ones that run longer. It’s like getting an extra long visit with you 😊
I have 4 grown kids and you are doing what i used to do. I done freezer meal prep like once a month and my kids helped. I worked full time so it was a way to have home cooked meals and save time to.
I am never going to make any of these meals since I’m Indian but man, what a pleasure it is to watch you working hard and so lovingly for your partner and you. Just a very calming watch. 👍🏽
20 year Cuisinart employee here……both with your bread and your cheese - you are filling the processor too full and the chunks are to big. to get a more uniform product, cut into cubes 1-2” square, fill workbowl only 1/4 full and pulse to chop or grind. Pulsing with your onions will make them more uniform. Also, if you look at the top of the blade, there is semi circle icon, that icon matches the post in the center of the machine. Match themup and the blade will drop right on. Safer and easier than spinning the blade on the top of the motor post.
Love your freezer meal days & way you double up your cooking so no wasted time! Love learning from you!
These videos are how I found your channel originally. At that time I was just getting in to canning and hadn’t yet started my garden which just keeps growing 😅. I
Love your channel and your personality, thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Becky. Everything looks really good.
I appreciate being able to learn more efficient ways of cooking and preparing my meals in advance, from you.
God bless you and your family.
Merry Christmas to you all.
You should put a mailbox in you garden so you can keep a pair of gloves and a pair of cutters or knife for harvesting. I love mine , it’s so handy.
My husband and I are definitely getting on the Freezer Meal bandwagon! Those breakfast burritos would be so great to have for us to grab and go in the mornings.. or whenever! Thanks Becky ❤❤❤❤
She inspired me to make breakfast burritos. They were a hit when we were camping in May. When we had to be up and out early I'd put them in the fridge overnight, then wrap in a damp paper towel in the morning, zap in microwave for 1 minute, and we'd take them with us and eat on the road. Hearty, healthy, filling, and delicious!
I like to do the breakfast burritos and then also I make egg "mcmuffins" and bagel egg sandwiches!
I hope you know how much everyone loves this way of cooking. Since watching you I have done freezer meals and It has saved me many nights. Thank you.
Love your videos and I hope I can follow them! We bought a new upright freezer this summer to replace the chest freezer we’ve had for a few years. I was having a hard time, as was my hubby digging through trying to find what was going to be prepared, so we decided at our ages (69 & 73) we needed to make access easier! ❤😊
Becky, I thank God for your style of cooking and the meal prepping. Your gifts are helping so many. Thanks
I appreciate you teaching us that it is possible to batch cook. I don't have the energy that you do but I can certainly pick 2 meals and make them at the same time. Thank you!
or just double whatever single meal you're making and freeze the leftovers. A great way to begin batch cooking!
I love how you're so organized and can do your dishes in order, utilizing the same mixing dish.
Keep doing what your doing girl! Both of my parents and sometimes the whole family all love watching you videos together we have learned so much
Becky, I freeze my burritos right after I make them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for thirty minutes before bagging them up for the big freezer. Saves me from having to wrap them individually. Love your channel!!
I love your breakfast burrito. I tried them after the first time you made them. They are a hit. I make them, put them on a pan and flash freeze, then put in a silicone bag. It saves me from using plastic wrap. It is a fantastic quick breakfast. Thank you!
Omg Becky. 😮 The picture is flipped for a few minutes during the “parm pour” and I love it. I’ve designed my next kitchen to about exactly yours, but flipped appeals to me so much more! Thank you so much for that glitch/not glitch. 🙏
How you cleaned up that egg was just genius! I always get great tips from you. Thank you for sharing with us ❤
As an Environmental health officer in the U.K. I would like to express my concerns regarding freezing the uncooked burgers and meat loaf etc.
In food hygiene in the 🇬🇧it is a big no no to re-freeze previous frozen food stuffs like meat unless it has been thoroughly cooked. Many food poisoning outbreaks have been linked to re freezing previously frozen food. So please err on the side of caution and cook your burgers/ meatloaf before freezing.
USDA deems it safe, as long as the meat is thawed properly to minimize bacteria growth, by thawing in the refrigerator.
😊👍
@@Christen-G there in lies the difference between food hygiene in the U.K. 🇬🇧 and the USA 🇺🇸
One consideration when refreezing previously frozen food is that it can negatively affect the quality of the food due to moisture loss through freezing and thawing. Air trapped in the package or that seeps in from the freezer causes the moisture in the food to evaporate making the food taste more dry.
@@nzessmam USA 🇺🇸 has better recipes . Also we sent ya'all packing years ago so you do you Bru and keep your laws in UK 🇬🇧. Also , meat needs to be cooked period when you make a meal so that negates your big no- no .
@@desertsunset8025 your ignorance is interesting to say the least
Becky, I literally fangirl over your channel. You are so beautiful!! The love, creativity and helpful knowledge you put into every video is very much appreciated. God Bless you and your family! ❤❤❤
Love to watch you meal prep. You really got a lot done and I imagine it is such a relief to have something you can just pull out of the freezer instead of cooking fresh eat day. I am a beginner at meal prepping, but have enjoyed it when I've done it. I plan to do some today since I am running low of some of the things. Thanks for sharing.
I love watching your videos while I clean and organize my kitchen cabinets. You give me great ideas on how to use up stuff i have and prep it!
Hi Becky,you do such a great job making all those meals,your such a inspiration to me ,May God bless you and your family.❤
You mentioned some time ago that you were creating a meal prep packet, and Mom and other family were testing it out. When will we see this? Today's meal planning is super inspiring and has a range of flavors!
At my age of 77yrs young, I wish I had your energy for planning my meals..you as so well organized…
I love your supplies, your tools, your kitchen, your yard, your recipes and this channel! I have a family but live in an inner city apartment with no chance of having a homestead however you have totally inspired me to pre-make dinners to freeze or even just to have meats pre cooked for easier prep. I cooked one of your recipes so far the gnocchi bake and my family loved it! You inspired me to even make the gnocchi from scratch which I did and had so much leftover to freeze. Thank you for everything you do on this channel you are an inspiration. God bless you Becky.
Becky you amaze me with how much you accomplish on any given day, all with a baby. You are such an inspiration to so many. You make any recipe look easy and appealing, we can taste it right thru you tube 🤣
Love this for my rainy Saturday!!
This channel is the best...you work hard to grow and harvest and cook amazing and healthy meals for your family...such an act of love....with great rewards for everyone...thanks for sharing
