    Learn how to host a dinner party from start to finish with the Hosting Guide that my mom and I put together. www.scratchpan... Hosting loved ones in our home can be a stressful experience, with many questions to address before the day of the party. Will my guests like the menu? Am I going to make enough or too much food? What areas of my house should I clean or leave untouched? My mom and I break down each aspect of hosting to make your event as stress-free as possible, and not only stress-free but enjoyable! We want to empower you to invite loved ones into your home to create lifelong memories with them.

    Hi Becky! I used to own a little online bakery for four years and here’s some tips and reasons for why your mom did the things the recipe told her to do: when beating sugar and butter together, most recipes don’t state for how long to do this for but generally for cookies and sponge cakes, you want to beat this mixture for 7-10 minutes. The longer you beat the butter and sugar, the lighter and more aerated the mixture becomes. (This is the opposite of what you should do when it's time to add dry ingredients in cookies -less mixing is best, just folding the dry ingredients in with your cookie mix-ins to avoid developing the gluten in your cookies.)
    As for mixing the dry ingredients in 3 parts with the wet mixture in between, it’s mostly for equal incorporating, to avoid dry lumps of flour without needing to overmix the batter. The wet mixture needed to sit for at least 3 minutes to allow the acids in the lemon to curdle the milk, creating sort of a sour cream/buttermilk mixture.
    All that aside, just wanted to let you know I’ve been an avid follower for the past 3 years! I am sooo excited for your new garden. Sometimes I watch your old videos just because I miss your old kitchen and old garden so much. Your last day in your previous garden made me cry! But still so so very excited to watch your new garden grow 😍🥰

    Hello Becky and Susan!
    Growing horseradish in a pot is highly suggested. If you put it in the garden, it will grow fast, like bamboo, and take over everything.
    I agree that we all learn from each other. That’s why I love your videos. You’re always teaching us, and sometimes we can teach you, too.

      When it comes to asparagus you waste a lot if you go by the snapping method, what you do it’s just cut a small piece at the base of it and see where the tender part starts and use as a reference guide for the rest. I learned that from Dan from the test kitchen.

The effort that you go into for family gatherings is amazing. I truly believe the planning rivals a war time military operation, no word of a lie. I appreciate the time your mum takes to arrange the schedule for the roasts and the baking and so on. Plus … it needs to be said, your mum is such a natural in front of the camera. The two of you carry no pretence while you are demonstrating the putting together of the recipes. There is no doubt that your Easter family meal will be a success. I hope your family recognizes the effort that the two of you have put into the organization of this family event! Happy Easter!

    Another way to get more juice from your citrus is to microwave for 10 seconds, then roll firmly on the counter and THEN juice it!
    I put all my tough asparagus ends in a big ziploc in the freezer. Once I have a full bag I can make asparagus soup because if you blend with a high powered blender (I have a Blendtec) it will take care of those tough ends.

    LOVE the Mama and Becky videos! Tell sweet Mama to look for a helix lemon juicer, she will LOVE IT, easier on aging hands!😉 Also! Tell her if she holds the lemon in the opposite hand & turns her zester upside down and drags it across her lemon, she can see how much of the zest she's getting off her lemon (not pith) AND she catches all the zest on top of the zester, seeing how much she's actually getting. It was a total game changer for me on only getting zest. 😊👍

    "Cupboards" are freestanding units of shelves, some with drawers at the bottom and they can be open fronted or enclosed with doors like an armoire. Cabinets are permanently installed against walls or into permanently attached work islands. It's a bigger difference than between a sharpening wand or a honing rod which is merely linguistic, more like the difference between an "ice box' and a refrigerator which are different things.

    Hi Becki. I recently discovered Chef Jean Pierre’s CZcams channel and found under his Vegetable episode, he demonstrates how to prepare/cut several vegetables. I was intrigued by how he cleaned/cut asparagus and broccoli. I’ve tried both and was surprised at how little waste I had! Peeling the bottom 3/4 of an asparagus stalk vs breaking the ends off saved so much from going into the compost and stalks of the broccoli were so tasty. Thought I’d share this recent discovery 😊.

      if not eating the "tough" part/stem of either asparagus, broccoli or even cauliflower..save in a freezer bags and use for stick making day!
      then compost the cooked stems etc
      cut once use thrice !

    I own a bakery and I put the cakes back in the pan after they have cooled on the rack and I wrap the whole pan. The metal helps it stay colder in the fridge. I dont ever freeze my cakes. They have a tendancy to have air blow outs in the frosting as the temp comes back up.

    When citrus fruits are in season, I zest in two forms (microplane shreds and vegetable peeler strips) and keep in jars in the freezer. I also freeze juice in icecube trays and store in bags. Then I have zest for baked goods and desserts all year long (cakes, pancakes, baked oatmeal, muffins, mousses, cheesecakes, …) and for cocktails and other drinks (great for gin&tonic, sangrias, lemonades,…). I don’t have a freeze dryer, so maybe you could try to make citrus peal powder and let us know how it turns out! I’m guessing it’s a flavor bomb!

    Hi Becky, if you are truly considering growing horseradish, I suggest you either grow it by the woods or build it It’s own garden box! horseradish roots, grow very deep into the ground, and even a small piece can create a whole new plant. Guaranteed it’ll spread! wherever you plant it the first year is where it will live for all of time! Lol I am a northern gardener. horseradish is very prevalent here. I would assume even more so in a zone 7 climate. Be careful where you plant horseradish it’ll be there for your grandchildren!♥️ happy Easter 🐣

    Just a heads up, you can pre-prepare potatoes, just make sure to put them in a non reactive dish covered in water in the fridge - the potatoes actually get more crisp. I julienne potatoes for a side dish and sometime slice up too many or just can't finish them into julienne that day so I stick them in the fridge submersed and they haven't discoloured on me so far and I've been doing it for a long time.

Love seeing you two together in the kitchen. 💜💜 BTW, anytime you throw away a plastic bag, tie it in some knots. This does help to keep animals from getting into them and suffocating or trapped in them. I have done this for yrs. Its a safety thing for the animals, domestic and wild ones. The potatoes 🥔 look yummy, I have got to try that recipe. 💜

    Hi guys. Just a quick note on the two tools ... the second smaller item is called a 'steel'. You might see chefs and butchers pull one out and run their knife along it a few times. It doesn't sharpen the knife, it just gives it a quick clean up before using. It maintains the knife's sharpness for a little longer before it needs proper sharpening. Love all your recipes!!
