Becky, just recently found your channel and I love it. I’m 70 yes old and I love to see the younger generation keep doing food preservation. Here’s a tip from my years of experience for you cast iron when you have stuck on mess. Just put water in the pan put it back on the stove and bring back up to a boil, it makes everything just come up from the bottom very easy.
Thank you so much!
do you have any advice for a rusted cast iron? i have a beautiful cast iron frying pan that i believe a roommate put soap on… I’ve been holding onto it hoping i can save it
@@cassandramichellecoaching Carolyn over at homesteading family recently did a video on how to re-season cast iron.
@@cassandramichellecoaching steel wool and elbow grease. Wash well, dry well. After, a small amount of olive oil spread on the interior of the pan. Put in a hot oven for an hour. Repeat (without steal wool or washing) a few times to get it seasoned again.
@@cassandramichellecoaching Robert's Bushcraft has a way to do it without a lot of work, mostly Apple cider vinegar and soaking. I have a lot I have to do to.
I am sooo committed to the Becky train I stand waiting for it to come every 48 hours 😂 your wholesome videos bring me such joy Becky, sending good vibes from Dublin Ireland ❤
Ditto
I love this! I feel the same, always enjoy time with Becky ❤️
My kids asked me why I watch you so often. The answer is that you give me energy! Thank you for inspiring me to move when I am tired! You are a gift. 💛
My hubby asks the same thing. I 100% agree!
I counldn't agree more Aber! I love doing jobs alongside someone it is like having a friend in the home doing the tasks with me! 😀
I agree, I get excited about cooking after watching her video, plus she is sweet, easy to follow and very detailed!
Ms. Becky, I keep forgetting to tell u how adorable u are when u say, "we" made something "together", or "we" went shopping "together". U make me feel like I actually participated with u, like good friends would do!! U have such a sweet personality, u'r bubbly, content, seem at peace and that, in turn, feels like we were actually sitting with u in ur kitchen making good, homegrown food to feed our people!! Please promise to never change the way u are, trust me, we love u exactly as u are, no pretences, no attitude of being better than others, just very humble and grateful for all u have!! I can't wait to see u and Josh become parents, it's the best and toughest experience u'll go through in life and every second is so worth it!! Remember to be gentle with urself, if u just don't have it in u to put out new videos every other day, we will understand!! If some followers complain about it, my motto is, "keep scrolling and don't let the door hit u in the butt"!! I really am a nice person, but at my age, (60), I have less time or patience for snarky people. It just isn't necessary, wisdom and older age has helped me to that realization!! Kindness costs nothing and actually lifts, not only ur spirit, but others as well!! Thank u for sharing ur beautiful life with us, it makes this granny so happy to see u!! Happy Holidays to u and urs from me and mine in Alaska!!💖💖👩🦳💖💖
Postpartum winter coat tip. Whatever you fit in at the end of pregnancy is perfect for wearing with baby in a front pack. Just zip up over the front pack (of course not over baby’s head 😉). So much easier than trying to keep baby wrapped in a blanket.
Thanks for sharing!!
You can use the reed round table mats in the middle of the table for hot serving dishes to protect your table, you don’t need to always use them as place mats. 🇬🇧🙂
Great idea! They'll also be cute as place mats on an outdoor patio table. Good combo of things to mix and match!
I thought they’d look nice in the middle, too. Didn’t think to use them as trivets! Good idea. That could work well on the island, too.
I love it when I hear Josh say «Thanks for making it» to you❣️ Soooo sweet, never heard a man say that to his wife before, so nice to hear he doesn’t take you for granted❣️ 🤗
"Real" men are hard to find. Love how Josh worshippes the ground Becky walks on. She is so blessed.
Love it too! My husband is the same, he ALWAYS tells me how good it is and thanks me for making him dinner. Then he gets up and does all my dishes!! ❤
My partner never hesitates to let me know it was good and thanks. Most often finishes the dishes.
My husband always thanks me for cooking :)
My husband of 31 years has always thanked me for every meal and does the cleanup after. It is nice to hear
Becky, 19,000 views in 1 hour!! You must be the most popular video presenter in all of CZcams. And no wonder, you have the best show, you have a lovely knack of making us all your friends and we all care for you.
You are so very sweet! Thank you for being here, Lynne!
why did this make me tear up so true though 🥰 love watching Becky 🥰
That is so true she is a amazing person to watch I love her program on here ❤️
@@AcreHomestead You've worked hard for it Becky! And before we know it you'll have 1 mil subs!
We may not see much of Josh but we know how supportive he is of you, what a blessing. Stuffed chicken breasts are amazing. Wrapping the breasts in bacon helps keep all the stuff inside the chicken.
I wrap my stuffed chicken in Prosciutto, or some cured ham that is similar to that. It gets really crispy and nice👍
@@lailayen765 Hei hei til en annen nordboer her❣️🇳🇴🤗☺️
I have made the stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon and it was delicious.
I have a recipe that uses onions and a wine sauce, as cheese and stuff the chicken breast. It’s amazing; but a lengthy process. I only make it for special occasions.
Thanks for the fun grocery/decor/comfy clothes haul! That is such a great price for a warm coat; I wish we could get deals like that here in Canada! That meal looks so scrumptious! Many blessings to your family 🤗💕🇨🇦
For decorating your house, don’t forget consignment, thrift, and antique shops. You can find amazing things and take us along with you 😊
Yes! Thank you!
Yes! Love giving new life to things! I once got a dining table for $5 since the stain was all messed up. Sanded it down and white washed it and it’s been my kitchen table for years!
Very true! My favorite decor comes from places like that
It is so waaaay more sustainable
Agreed. 90 percent of my house came from a thrift store or yard sale. Still hunting a kitchen table and chairs, but it’s been fun looking.
Now my husband asks me if “our” Becky posted a video. We save it until both of us can watch together. He was in the hospital for 3 months, so he started watching as a captive audience when he finally came home. He now appreciates my efforts with canning and cooking. Thanks sweetie. I hope you liked the box of Jaws cleaners I sent to your PO Box before you moved. We love them. You can be an affiliate too.
Hello Colette how are you doing,
So where are you from?
If you like the coat, keep it! There might be a month or two this winter you can't wear it, but there will be more winters. Can't beat the price.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Once you have the baby, the coat will fit you fine! Do not think you will be as big once you give birth! You will begin to compress back and that coat will be great till you get back to your normal size. Great price and you will enjoy it.
Agreed- and if it ends up being too big, it’ll make a great donation to a coat drive.
I love a green and white bathroom. It always looks clean and fresh! Please share the finished bathrooms with your new decor.
It’s in the next video :)
@@AcreHomestead Yaay thank you! looking forward to it ✨
hi Becky! from experience at having a dinner at a friends house who put those cinnamon pine cones on the table as decorations, DON'T do it!!! their smell totally overwhelms, guests can't taste the food you worked so hard preparing. The host realized her mistake as we all sat down to eat, removed them from the table but the essence from the oil remained! felt so bad for our host.
I love the fact you are just real! You don’t cut out failures. You really help us learn together. The fact you are suffering from what’s known as pregnancy brain, is endearing! ❤❤❤
Cheryl, I couldn't agree more! I love seeing real and raw mistakes, we are all human and it makes me feel so much better about my less than perfect kitchen!
I found using a men’s puffy vest under my regular coat worked really well as my belly grew and then I was able to use it to keep baby warm in the carrier. Two uses for the price of one 🎉
So pumped for this!!! Love this kind of content! I love how no matter how big your channel is getting, you remain humble and continue to make content that the rest of us can relate to! Hope you’re feeling good today :)
Hi Becky! I've been watching for quite some time now and I've never left a comment, but I had to share. I've never baked bread in my life, but you convinced me that I could do the No-knead bread. I made my first one today and it's a huge hit! It came out beautifully! Thanks so much for sharing!
🤗 YaaaaY! for Karen. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Wonderful. Happy for you. 🥳 Blessings. 🕊
That's on my list to make as well. Did you notice the one goof in her recipe which I'm sure was an oversight.
Karen, this is so exciting! Congratulations that is a huge accomplishment and I know how exciting it is when it FINALLy all comes together! 😁
I didn’t check all of the comments to see if anyone has already suggested this, but I always put my parsley stems in the freezer and then add them to the pot when I make chicken or beef soup or stock. They add a nice bit of extra flavor and don’t go to waste that way.
I use the stems in soup too! And leave them in when I chop to freeze. Freezing will make sure they are soft and don't poke you in the teeth
Finally! Someone who peels potatoes the way I do! I don't understand how people peel towards themselves!
I also peel away from myself
That green you chose is a PHENOMENAL neutral! You did a fantastic job of choosing a shade of green that can work with almost every color imaginable.

Becky, you mentioned in your shopping videos that your mushrooms don't always get used up in time. Why don't you freeze dry them so you'll always have some on hand and they won't go bad😊
I love seeing you expanding beyond more than gardening, cooking and preserving. Cleaning the kitchen, grocery haul etc. it's nice to see more of your day to day chores around the house. Well done.
This is a good channel to watch with my daughter who is 14yo
My son I wish , he is only 8. And into cars and play allll the time 😂 🤴
I love that it’s just “clean” by clean I mean well spoken and presented etc.
Thank you Becky and Josh.
I was so excited to see that you were making the stuffed chicken breast recipe that I and others had suggested. The recipe I had used did not suggest pre-frying the chicken and I found that to be such a great suggestion that I will try next time. If you make this recipe again you may also add thawed and squeezed frozen spinach into the cream cheese mixture before stuffing. Enjoy!
Thanks for all you do on your channel. I really enjoy it.
Or mix that cheese with rice or cauliflower or cauliflower rice...etc...
Becky! You spoil us so. Was looking forward to this.
I was also. 😁😁
I love watching you cook. I make dinner for my family 7 nights a week and sometimes your enthusiasm is the inspiration I need (because making dinner every night gets boring sometimes lol).
Inge, you are an absolute rockstar cooking dinner for your family 7 night a week, I hope you know that 😊
@@TheWyomingHomestead awww thank you!! Don't get me wrong it's not 7 nights a week all 52 weeks of a year and sometimes it's pizza or McDonald's, but I try to make dinner every night with the kids no phones etc.
The produce from the grocery store is a lot fresher than I thought. They work very hard to get the produce to us very quickly. It really is a blessing that we can buy such fresh produce at the grocery store.
I was thinking the same thing, I was surprised it wasnt older than that. Maybe that’s why they don’t put that date at other stores.
Yes, I was thinking this as well. 10 days from packaging is sometimes fresher than homesteading/growing it ourselves because it gets picked from the garden and stored and some of it goes bad in the fridge on on the shelf or it is stored for weeks and months before using, so what a blessing to get it so early.
How is produce that was packaged in 2020 fresh?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@gardengirl50t30 I think that was likely Becky mis reading the pack…. I think maybe Becky was tired ( or I know in my case as soon as I got pregnant my brain turned to mush and I constantly made mistakes on things ..lol.)
@@gardengirl50t30 I noticed that, too. I'm just hoping she either misread the package or simply misspoke. Pregnancy brain really is a thing...
You posted several videos where you put your fresh produce in a refrigerator for extended periods before preserving. Not height of freshness. Same thing as buying aged off the shelf produce from Costco.
You´re right there Jill BUT...is B always doing that...every year? This year she´s moving from her old house, renovating the new one, have a time limit to harvest everything in her old garden and is soon to be delivering a little baby. Sometimes life set obstacles and we have to change habits and allocate priority to what our circumstances are, in this case time, energy and in the end; health.
No matter the content, I so look forward to your videos! Your personality is so welcoming and calming. You have taught me so much, my husband often hears "Becky says.." when Ive learned something new watching. He also often asks what did Becky make instead of whats for dinner? Lol. Youre an inspiration.
Thank you so much!!
Me too. Even my grandkids know who Becky is.
Becky, have you ever thought about a salad spinner for drying your leafy vegetables. I love mine. I soak the vegetables in the basket, lift the basket up and drain off the the dirty water. Then I put it back into the spinner and Spin it till it spins off all of the liquid. It makes life so much easier.
Posted 1 hr ago. 19k views. Everyone 💘 Becky and Josh and Acre Homestead!
This is the BEST youtube community out there!
That dinner sounds delicious Becky! 😋 But you’ll never find me skipping any of your video,i enjoy every second,i love your attitudes & approach to things. I’m trying to ‘be more like Becky’ in my life & organisation! 😃🥰
I’ve never skipped a Becky video! You’re so talented and I love everything you do! Love seeing Josh pop in every once in awhile we he can. You both are going to be such awesome parents too!! 😊🙏🪴❤️

I really love how you tell us step by step of what you’re doing and WHY when you’re cooking ❤😊
Just thought you’d like to know that you can reuse your vanilla beans over and over again. Same as for cinnamon sticks for cinnamon extracts. That way you wouldn’t have to buy new ones every time you need to make more vanilla extracts. Love your channel Becky. You inspire me a lot!
I was wondering if when it empties you can just refill with more liquor or would it not have the same potency of vanilla flavor.
@@jelatinosa It will only be about half the strength of the 1st round. I grind the beans after the first round and use the paste straight in ice cream and baked goods.
@@bluedragontwo do you grind just the beans only or skin also, thank you
@@bluedragontwo how do you store the paste once you make it?
@@jelatinosa you can reuse a few times for sure but the beans need to always be submerged in the liquid to avoid mold. One the extract is good to use, you decant the extract and top up the beans for another soak.
Hello Becky! Your are such a wonderful inspiration to all of us !! I make stuffed pork chops with a box of stove top stuffing and I add cheese, kale, green onions and bacon. I always baste with mayo inside and out of the pirk chops to make sure the meat does not dry out. The stove top makes a great base for what ever ingredients you choose to add.
Hi Becky. Those white bowls were nice from Costco. I do like the idea of getting neutrals so things can be used for different holidays
I have a previous iteration of those bowls..... We love them and use them for so many things!
There is nothing better then feeding people good food. Your friends and family are going to have so much fun at your dinner parties. Glad you treated yourself.
You are adorable, Becky! The surprised look you give when something tastes really good is one of my favorite things on CZcams! Blessings!
I love using my instant pot to steam the sweet potatoes. I just use the steam button. It comes out fast and ready to mash. Love your videos Becky!!
You can also use the chargers as hot-pads to set warm dishes on at the table! For cleaning cast iron, pour table salt on the pan and use half of a potato to scrub away the crusties
Hello Becky! I learned from a Katz Kradle video how to oven can butter and cream cheese, so I buy both when on sale and when I have enough to can some up I do whole cookie sheet trays of jars.
Keep your crackers in the freezer. After open, put in ziplock and the never go stale. I also buy chips on sale and keep in freezer, after open, keep in fridge.
If you add chopped jalapeno to the cream cheese filling, you stuff the chicken then actually wrap the entire breast in raw bacon. These are awesome to wrap each one (before cooking) in seran wrap and baggy and you can freeze them as a freezer meal. To cook you just sear each side on the stove then bake them in the oven. It even creates its own sauce. It's officially called Jalapeno popper chicken and is AMAZING. Laura in the kitchen has a more detailed video on it. It's to die for. No joke. :))
I watch your videos in my living room on a big TV and everytime my four month old daughter sees you she smiles really big haha I'm like you like Becky more than me! We enjoy your videos. Also thanks to you my fiance actually likes some of my meals now thanks to your scratch pantry
Thanks for reaching out, it's my pleasure having a beautiful fan, as you're welcome Nice meeting you stay free hit me up to claim gifts
Stuffed chicken sound delicious, take everything that you would use to make jalapeños poppers( including the jalapeños, just chopped up), and mix it together, stuff that inside of the chicken breast, Jalapeño Popper Chicken.
We planted sweet potatoes October 2021 in New Zealand in tubs. It was very slow growing. We thought it was an epic fail, but decided to move our pots into our greenhouse over winter. I dug around just to see if there was any improvement. I'm happy to say our patience is paying off. I'm leaving the sweet potatoes for now and plan to harvest between April and May next year. Almost a year and half to grow, but it will be worth the wait. 😁
Good afternoon! Your decorations shopping for Thanksgiving inspired me to host a Friendsgiving and go shopping for cute decor. Hope you are having an amazing day! ❤

The Boursin cheese you weren’t sure about in your shop with me is phenomenal in mashed sweet potatoes! Especially since you like them more savory. 😊
For your “shaky cheese”, if you have a lid from the commercial shelf-stable park, it fits a regular mouth mason jar. They’re really handy for anything you want to shake or spoon something out of mason jars.
Incidentally, many peanut butter lids also fit regular mouth mason jars. A one-piece lid is much more convenient than a two-part lid if you’re not canning the item.
I love that you involve your faithful viewers. We all join in watching part of the journey you and Josh are living, we can all relate on most levels to your life. Love your channel, and always look forward to the next video. Thanks Becky xx 😊
Baby will be Totally adorable 🍼🍼🍼
Hi Becky. Always love your videos! Just a tip that when stuffing chicken breast it’s easier to cut a pocket from the fatter side than the thin. I usually use a toothpick to tuck and close the pocket so I don’t lose so much filling when I cook them and it melts. Then pull out the toothpick after cooking. I learn so much from you so I thought maybe that would be helpful to you. Thank you for all your content. Have a great week!
My father and I are sitting here watching you and eating the Cranberry salsa it's a staple now! Absolutely love it and my family now requests it! They all say thank you Becky!! We love watching you and I made your beef stroganoff yesterday and it was so good!!
It's so good!
Hi Becky. All I cook in is cast iron. To clean that mess you just scrape out all the large pieces, add some water put it on to boil and then it will come right out. That's how I do my big mess clean ups all the time. It's amazing how easy cast iron is to clean.
We stuff chicken breast with cheese then wrap with bacon. Oh my gosh it's out of this world. Love your slippers!
I love to watch you be adventurous in cooking and baking. Its inspirational to myself. It fun to watch you taste food, your eyes get really big when you enjoy it.
Becky if you have a Trader Joe’s anywhere near you pick up a tub with orange label of triple ginger cookies and use that instead of grahams. TJ’s carries several different kinds of ginger cookies but the ones in a tub is absolutely addicting. I use it in almost everything calling for graham crackers. It would be perfect with a pumpkin cheesecake.
And sweet potato pie!
love seeing your video's, your joy brings everyone also joy. I like those glass tubes the vanilla beans came in, you could re use them to make a cool table center piece buy seeing if Josh can make a small long stand like a mini bench and cut out holes that the tubes can sit inside, then you can put small cut flowers in them for a mini vase feature for your dinner parties
Or fill them with different colored beads or gold and silver beads. Save the plugs that come with the tubes to seal the beads inside the tubes!
@@judithburke1539 great idea
I wish I was there to show you an easy way to clean your cast iron skillet. I saw this on CZcams but I have forgotten the channel. Here goes: scrape as much off the pan as you can, sit your pan in the sink, pour boiling water over it (no soap in iron skillets). Let it sit there a minute and use a plastic or wooden scrapper on the bottom and sides. I put my William Sonoma rubber gloves on for that part because the water was boiling. Rinse, dry and put a tiny bit of olive oil on a paper towel and rub the oil all over the inside of the skillet. Turn the paper towel over and dry it as if you’re rubbing off the oil. Your skillet will look so nice. Your skillets look nice any way Becky. Tell us how you clean yours. FYI. A few times I’ve used a plastic pancake turner that has a straight edge but mostly I use a scraper. I love your channel. Josh is a lucky husband to have you cooking for him.
Your idea of just a savory sweet potato it’s like my idea of a savory winter squash with just butter absolutely love it I could eat that instead of potato
You could pop cream cheese in the freezer too if you are not sure about using it up before it expires :) I've noticed that It holds well and for much longer. I've heard Sarah from @ourtribeofmany mentioning this too.
I am new to your account but agree with Maryam. You could make a thick smear
or balls of the dip and flash freeze on parchment. Once frozen wrap in Saran and
bag it in a freezer bag. Then stuff the chicken breasts and continue with the recipe.
Maybe use a casserole dish next time 😉 Easier to clean.
You are so sweet, Becky, I can't wait to see how you decorate for the holidays. Everyone is going to love your holiday dinner and apprecate special touches that makes them feel warm and cozy inside.
Cleaning cast iron pans is easy even when you have burnt food. Sprinkle the pan with baking soda then fill the pan with warm water. Heat the pan on low until the food particles release while scraping with a spatula or plastic scrubber. Rinse and reseason the pan by heating the pan on the stove, remove from heat, and with a paper towel give a thin coating of preferred oil. I had to teach my hubby and kids how I was taught to care for my antique oh soo great grammy's cast iron that came with them across our country as pioneers.
FYI on the vanilla. Vanilla has a ratio needed to make extract. For every once of beans, you use 1 cup of liquor. For double fold it’s 2 oz of beans to 1 cup of liquor. Vanilla beans starts to lose flavor after the 1 first extract so you need to use half a cup to an oz of beans for a single fold. If you use more liquor than beans, you basically just have a vanilla flavored liquor and not extract. Usually flor clean liquids, extracts are done after 1 year and if it still has a liquor smell or taste you can use a finishing block. If you are using a dark liquor, extract is made after 2 years.
I make gallons and gallons of extract for years now with a dedicated cabinet.
Like your target decor items. Love the runner and chargers adding textures and neutral colors. Tip: when decorating a table take into count the size of the table and room. If you have a larger dinning table like you, you need a few larger items, height is good being you're in a large room too. This is so the table and room doesnt over power small decor items. You can gather in a group across the center of table w/pumpkins, squash and fall leaves or greenery w/ tall large candles are always visually pleasing. The cinnamon pinecones smell might be over powering for dinner. If so, they're great in a basket near the door when your quests arrive.
Decor is where my education and experience is. However, the kitchen is where I learn tips every video you share! Thx for doing what you do. Blessing to you, Josh n baby. Happy Friendgiving!!
Girl!!! Love you so much ! Thank you for bringing us with you agian and motivating us to keep pushing towards the ultimate goal in life
You are so welcome!
If you hold your hand flat as you did cutting into the chicken breast, you can put a hand full of cherry tomatoes and using the chef's knife, cut them in half. At my job I had so much prep work to produce the salads we served in the deli and with a bit of nerve and a steady hand it becomes a simple process. Maybe try instead of butterflying the breast, you can create a pocket with a smaller hole to either pipe the filling in or shove it into the cavity and use your finger to distribute it to the back as you fill it. Facebook has vanilla bean groups you cab join and get very good prices on bulk beans, fair trade from the sources. I love your videos.💕 I hope this helps you Becky.
To clean your cast iron, try adding water and bring to a boil, adjust heat as necessary, scrub with a wooden spoon. This should help in removing stuck food in your cast iron pan.
I just started reading ‘Animal, Vegetable, Miracle’ by Barbara Kingsolver and she talks about “oily food” in reference to how much petroleum products go into delivering food to our tables. Great book so far, thanks for the recommendation.
That was so fun. Your table scape is going to be very nice. I'm inspired to try making stuffed chicken breast now too. My tip for ease in cleaning cast iron, which I use 90%, is to remove hot food to a Pyrex dish and deglaze the cast iron pan while it's still hot. Sometimes, I use the deglaze liquid, but sometimes I just dump it. Hope that helps 😊
Dinner looks absolutely delish. Your coat should be fine since you are having the baby the first part of December. Winter will be still with us through Februry/March. Great deal on your buys.
I cleaned my house from top to bottom, got my new washer/dryer installed, prepped for my Chemo week, packed for my road trip for Thanksgiving after Chemo, meal prepping for Chemo with your meatball recipe & prepped my raised beds all while on "that time" of the month, no thyroid or med's & I'm running out of energy which unfortunately is a side effect including headaches so I am watching this video & your recent on back/back & taking a couple of lazy days to recover so this is perfect. Thank you for sharing. Chemo starts Tuesday so I will be a first viewer this next week unless nausea ensues. Wish me luck!
It is difficult to wait to watch your next video- I LOVE THEM and look forward to them every time. I have watched you from the start. I love the way your eyes pop open wide whenever you have tasted what you are cooking and it tastes good. I always wait for the eyes. :-)

Marsha, I hope your electrice pressure canner arrived and you are lovbing it! so exciting and hands off, I am absolutley loving mine too! 😊
@@TheWyomingHomestead I showed up yesterday! I have my bone broth currently cooking down in the roaster pan 🙂. My house smells so good right now
@@marshacarter8565 Yay!!! That is so exciting! Please comment back and update me on how it turned out if you get a chance! I am so excited for you!
I got my first pressure canner about nine months ago and I’ve been having so much fun!
Cloth napkins in neutral colors are a great way to decorate the table for different occasions because you can fold them into different shapes. Like I folded ours into a fan on thanksgiving (added a little turkey body that I printed on cardstock and cut out) and a Christmas tree and Santa's hat (added a Santa face as a napkin ring that I also printed) for Christmas.

Quick tip, make up your filling for the chicken breasts and freeze solid. The frozen filling will melt more slowly and leak less. Our favorite is cream cheese, caramelized onion and bacon bits for filling.
Omg I went to Sam's today and for 200.00 . I got two cases of organic corn, green beans for pantry. But I got 20 pounds of awesome cheese on sale, asiage and parm, pepper jack, smoked Gouda, extra sharp cheddar, Colby jack, provolone, baby swiss and 3 pound string cheese, 4 lb garlic fresh, 5 lb sweet potato, 10 pound Yukon gold, 4 lb fresh brussel sprouts, 2 huge ketchup, 3 huge mayo, 48 ounce roasted red pepper hummus, huge chicken thighs, 7 lb brown sugar for 4.00 cheaper than making my own, 2 pints fresh raspberries 2.73. unbelievable. I feel so blessed. I'm my regular grocery this would have been 400.00. so thankful
I thought for sure there was a mistake on the prices .. there was more but I'm tired and can't remember. Good block organic cheese , use by date is March through April year. But I'll freeze some so. . So thankful
Fun to go along with you on your adventures! You really are frugal..I'm sure I would've given in to more temptations with regard to holiday decor, but you're right.. neutral basic foundation and you can always jazz it up to match the event. I have to say again, I am so happy for you to have such an appreciative and loyal subscriber base..you deserve it.
Great video as always. Becky you never fail to inspire. Can’t believe the way your sub numbers are growing. If anyone deserves the stellar growth rate it is definitely you. Your authenticity and humility are outstanding.
Do you remember the dad from "Big Fat Greek Wedding" ? He used windex for EVERYTHING. That is how I am with white vinegar . Vinegar and water in a spray bottle cleans everything and sprayed it on a rash which disappear. So wonderful !!
take 2 plastic lids, place your cherry tomatoes on the lid, put a 2nd lid on top of the maters and slice ALL cherry maters with the knife between the lids, voila, all done at once. been doing this this idea for 6 years, saves me time!
Becky I love your videos,because they are as cozy as a big hug with cozy slippers..Your shopping haul is amazing,such bargains.I agree with your table decor and napkins,I would've chosen the same things.I get sad when we run out of cilantro..I love your slippers ,and honey crisp apples are my favorite..I want to try your stuffed chicken breast recipe (I hate it,hubby loves it)..but it just sounds delicious..You look radiant BTW!
Thank you Becky! My stomach is growling now! Mashed sweet potatoes!?! I’ve never tried them. They’re on my list. I made homemade vanilla and dog treats yesterday. You’re such an inspiration 🌺
Becky! If you plan to do more seasonal decorating in your beautiful home here is a suggestion that I love. I don’t “over decorate“ but I only have target areas that I decorate like the fireplace mantle, the dining room table, kitchen towels, throw pillows and throws, and such.
So I have purchased storage bins in the holiday/season color. Mostly I only have one bin per holiday - however I do decorate for many ‘minor’ holidays including Groundhog Day lol. If you keep your eye open you can find colored bins at Target, Walmart, etc. My Valentine’s Day bin is pink and my Halloween bin is orange and my Christmas bins are red with green lids, my St. Patrick’s Day bin is Kelly green… You get the idea. And so I can tell hubby “please go get the orange bin in the garage” and all my Halloween decorations are in that one.
I have bins for each holiday and also for each of the four seasons because I often will decorate for Autumn and then have extra things for Halloween in the Halloween bin. (I will admit I have more than one bin for Christmas but I have enjoyed putting out Winter decorations and then adding Advent decorations (like our Nativity set) and then switching up with more specifically Christmas decorations closer to the actual holiday. I’m not one for decorating for Christmas in November but I do like to start putting up Winter things after Thanksgiving.
My color-coded been situation works really well because a lot of times I purchase cool decor items on sale after a holiday and I can tuck it away and it’s bin for the next year! It’s so much fun.
So another channel made me think of you. (It was a woodworking channel) he stated that he never liked the videos that automatically ask for you to "subscribe, like, comment and share" at the very beginning of the video and that he felt he needed to give the viewer some entertainment and prove himself to them by not reminding until half way through the video. It made me think of you because I watch mostly your videos and I don't ever remember you making that statement ever. And I have to say that I really enjoy that fact, you let your content get you subscribers and likes. You're truly an awesome person. Thank you for everything. ❤️
Becky, I'm really looking forward to seeing your tablescape decor as the months unfold, now that you are able to host people again after the last few years. So exciting!
I love the cheese in the chicken. Reminds of a recipe my husband used to make (recipe from the firehouse!). Can't wait to see your table all decorated.
Please keep the bamboo circle mats! They look so good with the green and black accents you have with the napkins and candle sticks! Also, you can layer/stagger them going down the middle and make your own runner with them for a different look!
Also, keep the jacket! It looks so good and you won’t be pregnant forever. You’ll need a coat for right after. Honestly, in the winter at the height of my pregnancy I was so warm I never zipped my jacket anyways haha. It was such a good price I would def keep it and it would get its use now, as long as possible but then for sure after pregnancy and there’s always next winter. It’s such a classic style and color it’ll look good for many years to come. It’s a style they make year after year.
Becky an easy way to clean the cast iron is to boil a little water in it and scrape the bottom with your wooden spoon, lifts all the stick bits off then you just wipe it dry with a towel and put a little oil on a paper towel and wipe the pan put in the oven easy peasy
Thank you so much for the haul Becky! I think though, that the only difference between the two of us, is that I wouldn't have had the willpower to either leave things or put things back on the shelf. I'm so bad! My motto is buy now/think about it later lol. Believe me, your way is much better! Costco is my best friend and worst enemy. I love that place!
Thanks for reaching out, it's my pleasure having a beautiful fan, as you're welcome Nice meeting you stay free hit me up to claim gifts
Becky, I so look forward to your CZcams videos. I appreciate the honesty and joy you share in your videos. Through watching your videos you have helped me think outside the box and try and cook things I never have. It’s fun experimenting with different food combos, some have been successful, some I can check off the list that I tried it lol. Thank you again for sharing yourself with all of us, you do make a difference in all our lives
Stuffed chicken breast - cream cheese, old bay and wrap the breast with either prosciutto or bacon
Hi pretty lady how are you doing ,and how is the weather over there?
I love to stuff chicken breasts with that Boursin cheese you saw at Costco, along with thinly sliced yellow onions, red bell peppers and asparagus. Brown on the stove and then into the oven to finish just like you did. I serve them with couscous or rice a roni and a cheesey sauce. So delicious!
Yummy! Thank you Becky for sharing your day with us! Dinner looked delish!
Oh my goodness, Becky!! That food looked fantastic. You did such a luscious meal in no time. You are simply phenomenal. Thank you again for such a wonderful video.
I didn't read all 990 comments to see someone else already made this suggestion. So, sorry if it's a repeat idea. Here goes: Rather than butterfly your chicken breast, try only cutting a small opening and creating a large pocket instead. In that way, you can stuff your filling into the pocket and you won't lose so much of it into the pan during the cook/baking process. Happy cooking!
Hi pretty lady how are you doing, and how is the weather over there?
Here's a suggestion for stuffing the meat. Portion out the cheese mixture with your cookie scoops. And freeze it. Then stuff it inside. It will make less of a mess that way.
