Becky, from a woman just turning 58 who has enjoyed lots of friends over the years I want to thank you for the format you have crated! My circle of friends is smaller these days and the way you say “we” did things is so nice! Also, “thanks friend” warms my heart! Loving your channel🥰🙏🏻🇺🇸
I just told my son how cute it was that she says we. I'm 66.
My thoughts too 😊
Exactly! Casual and friendly, just as it should be! (Also 58 and feel so much more energetic after a visit at B&J´s house!)
58 here, and just recovering from a major spine operation. I can’t do much but watching these videos is so inspirational for when I can. But, I don’t think I will ever be able to do as much as Becky in a day. Lots of love from England ❤xx
@@Passioakka I just sent this one to my daughter and had said how Becky energizes me!! True! She gets me going! I'm 69
I had to smile when you forgot the salt in the pizza dough - it reminded me of my grandmother who I believe was the world's best cook. She always allowed me to "help" her cook and once we made a layer cake for a cousin's birthday and as we were cleaning up the kitchen after placing the cake in the oven, she said "oh no." She walked over and opened the oven door and stirred baking powder into the already baking layers. Of course, they were perfect. As was she.
I'm not crying, you are🥲
What a beautiful memory ♥️
That happened to me as well.
Now my eyes are a lil wet...❤️
Grandmas………🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
I love that there’s never any negativity on this channel. I come here knowing everyone is friendly and helpful and pleasant. It’s my happy place.
I was thinking the EXACT same thing. She's NOTHING but pure positivity, genuine creativity & joy with ZERO sarcasm & snarkiness, which is refreshing and so unusual today. Most folks like to snipe, but Becky is all love & light. I think she's the Darling of CZcams. 100% Delightful.
Becky, I’ve been watching you since late 2020 and was so happy for you when you were able to leave your job and bring this channel to all of us as your full time “job.” It’s been a joy. Thank you for always making us feel welcome into your home. You inspire us all.
Thank you so much! I am honored you take time to spend time in my home :) Thank you so much, Stace!
Have you ever grown spaghetti squash it’s great
These are my favorite videos on CZcams. Relaxing, inspiring, wholesome and food-related. Becky has given me so many tips and ideas, and I also like how she uses our suggestions! This is such a cool channel
I feel the same, there's a lot of channel with the same content but I still enjoy hers the most
Same! Beckys video feels like when ur in the kitchen with her and some good Coffee. I love her vids
Ditto! Love her!
Thanks for taking us with you when you gave the chickens their treat! 🤩
Yes! The chickens always make me smile.
@@shaunballard3614 They are so cute!
I love seeing your chickens, Becky! They are such happy and healthy girls!, 🐓🐓🐓🥚🥚🥚
I'd love a show of the chickens getting their treats & just watching them doing the things chickens do. They each have a character of their own 🐔🐓🐔🐔
I absolutely LOVE her chickens! I almost wish there was a live “Chicken Cam” up so we could watch them whenever we needed to bring a smile to our face and a tingle in our hearts. 💕😊
It is official, Becky, you are my 3 yr olds favorite person. It is 0654 and she woke me up excitedly asking to watch “my Becky”!!! She LOVES to watch you cook meals and talk about your chickens, because, “My Becky has chickie babies just like me mommy!!”. You ma’am are the modern day Julia Child. ❤❤❤
Yes my daughter ❤️ her videos 😁
Love it when Becky acknowledges that some of us are not of the US and explains what half and half is ❤️🌺🇲🇾
Love the way Becky talks to her chickens like little ones--she'll be a good Mama.
That made me smile too 😊. When she said..You girls need to stay there. So sweet.
Becky I love how your girls just run up to you when you go out there to feed them. You have a connection with your chickens love it!
Hi, Becky. I'm a 65 year old woman who was forced into retirement last month. I came across one of your videos and got hooked! I've been binge watching you for weeks. I have since reorganized my spice cupboard and my freezer, so I can incorporate some of what I've learned from you into my own kitchen. Thank you for inspiring me. You are awesome, and so efficient!
It was a "bake alongside Becky today", I made 2 batches of biscuits (I use buttermilk in mine) and 6 pie crusts while watching you. Thank you, hon, you are a real jewel!
Did you still use vinager if you used the buttermilk??
I'm planning on rolling out 6 pie crusts after I watch this video... The video is my rest timer, being 5 months pregnant and having super busy mornings means I need to take time to chill out sometimes!
Praying for an easy delivery for you and baby. Best wishes.
Oh yeah! Freezer meals for Postpartum are how I found your channel. Also helpful for having kids/busy life in general. We are like you we want to eat healthy, home cooked food as much as possible.
You’ll have to binge her channel. She is such a lovely person to just “hang out with.”
@@stacesprinkle7822 so true!
Becky, you will be so glad you did all of this for your postpartum time. So smart of you!
Well, you're probably NEVER going to see this, but I just have to say that I am SO inspired by you! I'm 60 and live alone and LOVE casseroles, especially ones that are complete meals (meaning that they contain a protein, a vegetable and a starch). From now on when I make a casserole, I'm going to make 3 of them, one to eat right away (every night for dinner until gone, which suits me fine), one for my elderly parents, and a third one to divide into meal-size portions to freeze for myself. I can't wait to do that this weekend! I'm a super picky eater so will be making casseroles that combine ingredients from 2 or more of your recipes to come up with my own complete-meal casseroles. For example, I don't like bell peppers, onions, ricotta, cilantro, etc., so this weekend I'm going to make a casserole with jumbo pasta shells stuffed with sausage and diced zucchini with cream cheese, mozzarello and parmesan. Thank you SO MUCH for all the inspiration; you are such a joy to spend time with and I've already learned so much from you in the one week since I stumbled upon your channel!!
Please share other recipes you come up with. I don't like bell peppers, ricotta, cilantro, or onions, either!
Jennifer, Thank you so very much! I'm honored you are here!
@@sparkleflair I don't know how to share my recipes other than to reply to you here, which I will do. My mother ended up going to the emergency room this past week so I've been spending time taking care of her but hope to make the sausage/jumbo pasta shells soon.
@@jenniferl6553 Oh no! I hope she's soon on the mend. Take care and I look forward to seeing whatever you end up making. :)
@@sparkleflair ty :)
Freeze dry buttermilk so you always have it on hand! And pumpkin powder is a game changer too!
Haven't heard of pumpkin powder. How do you use it?
Pumpkin powder is great fpr dogs
@@jenniferh1416 Freeze dried pumpkin puree, powder it, then when you want pumpkin puree just add water to get the texture of pumpkin puree. Use it just like canned pumpkin.
Try adding herbs to your pizza dough! I add garlic powder, onion flakes, parsley flakes, basil, oregano and parmesan to the dough. SO FREAKING GOOD!
I picked up this biscuit cutting tip from Joanna Gaines’ cookbook-after rolling dough out in rectangle-use a pizza cutter to cut the dough in squares-then you don’t have to re roll the excess dough again and risk tough biscuits! Rustic looking, yummy biscuits 🙂
Oh that’s an awesome tip, I will use that on my rolls and Klobasneks too!
I was going to suggest the same thing! Less work and less waste!
@@jhwilliams6550 what is klobasneks pls. Not from USA 😉
@@AB-sq1nu Klobasneks are meat filled dough. Czech immigrants started them. Some people call it Pigs n Blanket too.
We call sausages wrapped in bacon pigs in blankets in the U.K., part of our traditional Christmas dinner
Because of you, I can now make homemade pie dough - trying homemade pizza dough next! I also grew tomatoes successfully and will try other vegetables next year because of your videos!. My husband laughs when I say "Becky says...." Thank you for a wholesome channel and videos! ❤
I'm so in awe of you Becky. I've had 3 babies and I never worked half as hard as you do during any of my pregnancies. I know you're right up at the end of yours now so I'm seriously WILDLY impressed with you. 🙌🙌
IKR she is so awesome. I was trying to do alot but my body said “nope”
Same! I just hope she feels ok making someone else (josh, relative, whoever) do things so she can rest. My husband had to do a lot of cooking and frankly, I let him eat sandwiches if he wanted something from me.😆
I use a box grater and shred my frozen butter, so much easier to mix in:)
I have a CZcams channel where I cook. I am still cracking up at how many people watch and LOVE the biscuit video. Yep, frozen butter and box grater is the key to fabulousness!😄
Like this idea. Do have a grater but not a food processor.
I just love you! Cannot wait until we can refer to “baby” by name ♥️ You inspire me so much. I’m 61 yrs old and all of sudden I’m using strange spices (gochugaru) and making artisan bread. My husband is loving the “new” me, because of you. I’ve even been making baked oatmeal, which I had never heard of! 😊
It’s better to flatten the pizza crust you get more into the freezer I hope this helps
Right! I'm 50 and I've learned so many names of things and what all those unused spices were for! She is awesome!
Which episode was baked oatmeal done. Would like recipe b/c never heard of it either.
@@hopefulton8669 no specific episode, she makes it ALL THE TIME!!
You are a kitchen wizard holy cow! I know how good you must feel getting so much done. You are glowing!
You’re such a joy to watch. You’re so knowledgeable of everything home. Can’t wait for your baby to arrive.
Hey Becky, a good way to use up your dirty aluminum foil is to put it into your dishwasher. Just squees it into a clump and put it into the area where your forks, spoons, etc... are. the foil will give back the nice silvery shine on the cutlery (Chemistry thing). For me its a nice way feeling better not to throw the aluminum foil after one use in the trash AND u will get nice and shiny cutlery :) the same foil works for multiple washes - you can see how it becomes mat after a frew rounds in the dish washer. Maybe you will give it a try ^^ - Best wishes from Germany ♥
You're nesting, Becky! I was thinking- that garlic infused oil would be delicious on future pizza crusts 💞 Congrats on getting so much accomplished!
I was thinking the same thing. Definitely nesting!
Becky, I made the buttery biscuits for breakfast yesterday and they were so good! My husband is a very picky eater and I get 1 try with new recipes. He ate 6 of these biscuits in one setting!!! Thanks again for all your work!
Love the idea of having biscuits ready when you want them. I just pulled a pie dough out of the freezer. Such a time saver. Thanks to you, I have so many 'ready to go' things in my freezer just waiting for when I don't feel like cooking.
Every time you talk about salt in your dough, I’m reminded of my Mother. Both of her parents passed when she was 15 and 16. 6 months apart. She was shuffled around to her older brothers and sisters homes. She married my father when she was very young. 17. My fathers family owned and ran a sawmill. So there were seasons where all the brothers and their families live at the Sawmill camps. They had cute little cabins. My mother was the only wife that didn’t have any kids. So she decided she’d get flour from the other wives and make a huge batch of bread. She wanted to help out so bad. BUT…. She forgot the salt. Lol. They would usually have a pot luck dinner and everyone would sit out by a camp fire and enjoy each other’s company. I had some scary Uncles. Lol. My Mom said she was terrified of the oldest brother. She said he tried to be nice about it. But he’d pick up the salt shaker and glare at her while sprinkling salt on his bread. Lol. It has helped me to never, ever forget the salt in any dough recipe. Lol
I love family stories. This was so unique and rich with fading history of such hard work and loyalty. How wonderful that she passed this event with such great detail to you! Thanks for sharing that.
@@deborahm7667 I remember it so vividly because she baked bread, rolls, pie crusts, she made homemade noodles for soup, lots of pastas. She constantly reminded us to remember the salt. Lol. We heard the story at least once a year. Then she would cook with our kids. So the story would come back as they learned to cook with Grandma. My Mom loved it when she’d have her first cooking session with one of the kids. She’d start to tell her story and our kids would say, “Oh yeah Grandma! Mom told us.” They’d kind of chuckle a little as they asked her which Uncle scared her the most. This was one of my favorite stories. Lol
I've learned so much from this channel Becky, thank you. Even though I'm 62 years old, raised two children and now have 4 grandchildren I basically never really learned how to cook. My Mom didn't like to cook and rarely did and she never taught me to cook a thing. Then I went to live my my Dad at 15, my older sister stayed with our Mom and after a few science projects my Dad and I went the sandwhich, ready made, or eat out food route. I did learn a few tried and true and had a couple of favorite cook books when my kids were growing up. I found that going all out was wasted on them and they prefered the few tried and true or simple things. Now I have the time and really enjoy cooking even if it's just for myself. I often freeze leftovers or share some with neighbors when I go all out. Take care and God bless you and yours.
I don’t know how many times I can say OMG but you are absolutely amazing! The amount of cooking you accomplish in a day is unbelievable! You have inspired everyone that watches your channel. You truly are one in a million. 💜👶🏻💙🥰🌟🦃
I am going to make a big batch of those biscuits soon, they look wonderful and I love the idea of having them ready to bake anytime I want. Thanks Becky for the great recipes and inspiration!
same
me too 😁
Hooray for a postpartum meal prep video! I’m due with baby #2 on Turkey day this year 💕 your freezer meal prep videos help a lot! I never prepped with #1 and it would’ve been a life saver. I’ve learned so much with your videos and can’t thank you enough!! 💝
Congratulations!! ❤
My mom bought me a bunch of freezer meals for my first. She felt bad that she lived too far to help in any other way. It helped so much that I meal prepped a lot for #2 and #3. My pregnancies were terrible too, so it helped all the more to have extra for prebaby as much as postbaby
Aww congratulations!!! Do you know what you're having?
Congratulations and I wish you and baby good health!
My 1st baby was born on Thanksgiving years ago. Clarissa, let someone else do the cooking for you if you go into labour that day! It’s no fun basting a turkey in the midst of contractions! Lol, best wishes with your baby!
The community of people that follow you, Becky, is amazing! I love reading the encouraging and helpful comments. Your genuine and authentic videos brings authenticity out of us all. Please never stop being you! I have made lots of the biscuits for the freezer, and use spelt flour instead of AP. Its so delish!
I never realized how cute chickens can be until you got them! I love seeing them run to you when you call them. They are always so happy to see you.
Hi Becky! I love your channel, making ahead for postpartum is smart and your advice is invaluable to expectant moms. I'm an old granny now but still learn from you. My next project is to make your bread, I always avoided breads but you have given me confidence to try. Thanks so much for sharing with us, love from Sue in Ohio ❤️
Her bread is amazing, it has become a staple in our home.
I would’ve kept the pumpkin water, frozen it and included it when you’re making broth next, as I’m sure it has vitamins and goodies from the pumpkins… 🤗
What a great idea!!
I do this: it always seemed like such a waste to throw it away.
Wonder if you can add butter,vannila & honey or a little maple syrup to the pumpkin liquid,boil it down & use over pancakes,pound cake & biscuits???
@@bosslady2002 😮. That sounds amazing.
I love watching Becky I have learned so much. From just grow food I can wait to see in 3 months my hard work I did
I just wish I had a counter in my kitchen. Our glass stove top serves as our counter for prepping everything. Freezer meals have saved me many times, so I appreciate these videos!
You can freeze or can the liquid from your pumpkins to add to soup broth. It adds a wonderful layer of flavor.
That's what I was thinking. There's nutrition in that!
I made ghee for the first time last week and was so proud of myself. I used 2 lbs salter and 2 lbs unsalted so it wouldn't be too salty. It made 7 half pints. Boy do scrambled eggs taste good cooked with it. It smells devine. Funny that if you taste it, it's oily with barely a hint of butter flavor, but the eggs fried in it - fabulous and buttery flavored. You inspired me to try many new things this year. Next is to gather the supplies to make my own vanilla.
i made my vanilla tday im going to make some more this week ready to use next summer.x
One thing I told Becky was to scrape the insides of her vanilla beans out to put in your vanilla. Put the hulls of the pod into sugar to make vanilla sugar. It’s great for baking! It doesn’t take but 2-3 pods per 5 lb bag of sugar. Depends on how strong you want the sugar. I’ve yet to see her do it but maybe next time as I just told her about it.
@@reneeallen3569 I have never heard of that but I will give it a try. I have been making vanilla for years and it tastes so much better than what you get in a store
@@justmepraying it gives you more bang for your buck. There’s a famous chef who does this but I can’t remember who. If I do I will post it.
Is ghee made from salted butter really that salty? I have made about 24 pounds of ghee using salted butter
I think this will make it so much easier for you as you transition into motherhood. A good head start. You already have the skills, and your timing is amazing. You will find your own rhythm that works best for you and your family, and this family too. And Becky, you are just glowing.
You make me feel so good inside. You're warm, kind, hospitable and a joy to watch. You're a good friend Becky. You deserve much happiness in life.
You can make homemade biscuits and gravy super easily if you have cooked sausage and frozen biscuits!
Becky, I just wanted you to know that you are my favorite! I look forward to each and every one of your videos! Hugs, Debbie
you are just awesome. I was so glad that you haven't forgot the salt in the Pizza dough. It fascinate me how much nice things you make in one day. And your chickens / the "girls" are so cute. How they came when you give them the pumpkin seeds - just amazing. Much love and all the best for you and your family.
No matter the length of the video, I am always sad when it ends. Just love your channel. I think your chickens wanted you more than the pumpkin.🥰
Hi Becky, I just wanted to let you know that my 5year old absolutely loves your channel and I do too. Every time we are going through CZcams and she sees your channel ‘Mom the cooking one’ 😂 that’s what she calls your channel. She loves everything you do and I’ve not seen her get that excited over any other channel👍🏼
My five year old loves her too "maaaama I heard Becky so I came in your room" 🤣🤣🤣
I love this, so dang cute and she will be an expert chef when she grows up ❤️
@@christina7088 I’m 65 and I do the same thing your daughter does. I keep sharing with my daughter (43, Lol). She’s a hood cook. But we never prepare early or cook and freeze. But watching Becky just relaxes me. Even though I know that the more time goes by, I feel bad. Because I know she’s got to be exhausted. It’s gonna be time before we know it. It’s going so fast.
Yes my 5 year old loves Ms Becky in the cooking show, and requests it as her daily show!
Arrrrr I have been waiting for this video, prep as much as you can for postpartum. Day turns into night, night turns into day and you won’t know which way is up or down, it’s exhausting but so soo sooooo frickin amazing ♥️
You are an absolute legend! I love your channel and it was one of the major motivators for me to start cooking more at home (which is something I always struggled with; I never felt like I was capable of cooking). I’ve kind of fallen in love with making my own breads, pizza dough, and my son has been loving the home cooked meals more than I ever thought he would.
I could watch your videos all day! I think you have this biscuit making down to a T! I need to work on mine haha!
Aw thanks! I loved your last video! I need to do the same :)
Wow what a production today. You are getting all stocked up for postpartum! Good for you. I'm going to try your biscuit recipe because I usually buy Pilsbury frozen biscuits in bulk but if I can make them that would be great. Thank you so much for posting. Stay safe, stay well. Relax
As a mom of 5 you give me so much motivation to just “get it done”! Love your channel so much and hope you have a fantastic holiday season into the new season of motherhood. Toughest hood I’ve ever lived in but feel so confident you’re going to have such a smooth time during the transition ♥️✨ blessings to you and yours!
You really knocked it outta the park today Becky. You got so much done.💚
Those biscuits are gonna be so good & handy for when you need them! Such a clever baker & food prepper👍🏼😋
Thank you Becky....For being amazing. Absolutely appreciate you and your videos. Great tips, words of encouragement, and educational...and so much more! Thanks Friend!!!!
I made your sausage stuffing for our Canadian Thanksgiving. It was fabulous 😄. I also made your stuffed peppers using ground turkey and they were a big hit too 😋
You are amazing. I'm 83 had 4 kids, and like you always busy. My first baby was born in 5 hours. My older sister already had 3 kids, and gave me so many good advice when going into labor. Love you from Hawaii ALOHA
Traditionally most bread from Tuscany has been made without salt for hundreds of years including regions from Umbria, Lazio and Le Maeche.
I'm at work and got supper excited to see Becky pop up, this is what I'm doing on my lunch break 🤗
I made those biscuits yesterday for dinner. I saw you cook them from frozen in a previous video recently. They were soooo good!! I will definitely be making a big batch for the freezer 🤗 Thank you!!
I made the flaky biscuits and ty they were really good! This says a lot, I struggle with baking, although I'm a pretty good cook, I'm usually disappointed with my baked goods (other than a very few recipes I've been baking for many years).
Thank you Becky!!!❤️
I made my best spaghetti sauce ever last night because I followed your advice and seasoned as I went! Wow! My husband said, “THIB!”
TGIB! Geez!
I am Greek… watching from Greece so it is really nice when you explain things that are not universal!!! LOVE your channel ❤
What part of Greece husband is from Piraeus
@@natalieketchelos4177 oh thats nice!! I am from Ioannina…
@@birbilomata hoping one day to go to Greece to see Orfea home country. Have a good day.
@@natalieketchelos4177 I wish you do!! Greece is a very beautiful country!! All the best!
thats the cutest thing ive seen in a while...your chickens running to you,makes my heart smile xxx
Wow awesome I learned a lot about pizza and pie crusts. You were vibing at a much calmer frequency, you got a lot done and we learned as well. I like the large meal preps. Remember the baby feels your energy. I used tape head phones on my stomach when I was busy keeping him distracted around my energy . Today , I smile how much he enjoys music and even knows organically every artist. He just turned 28-an awesome dude.
Becky, have you ever tried just cutting biscuit dough into squares?
You wouldn't have to rework the dough and saves time too.
My great aunt had a farm and 13 kids. 12 boys and 2 girls. That's 3 big meals a day. She made her biscuits that way.
Since you bake a lot with buttermilk, it would be a good idea for you to get kefir grains and make your own kefir/buttermilk to have on hand at all times. I use my kefir like I would buttermilk, as to me it's same thing. I also drink a lot of it (great for gut health) so i always have a small pitcher of it in my fridge. It's very low maintenance too!
Becky you always amaze me with your energy. What a productive day for you. You deserve a rest with your tea. Hugs from South Carolina ❤
You are doing amazing!!! When I had my first child 13 years ago, I thought I did great when I had 2 frozen pizzas and some fish sticks in the freezer. That was it, hahaha.
Well done Becky!!! You’re a little pocket rocket!!! I remember doing freezer meals when I was having number six child… I was so tired (cos I had a 1yr, 2 yr, 3yr and a busy (I.e. mischievous) 6yr and a very hormonal 12yr. 😊 You’re an absolute inspiration. I have started to make my very small kitchen work for me a little harder under your skilled tutelage. Thank you for sharing so much your positivity, cheerfulness, knowledge and kindness with me/us. 🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺 & 🐶Omega the Cavalier🐶
Hey Becky! So exciting to see this pop up! Wow, you got so much done! It’s very smart to get all this food prepped before your precious little one arrives. You make my day!
So glad you're planning ahead on the meals. I never did that and looking back it would have been so so handy.
I grate frozen butter with my cheese grater, into my dry mix. Then you don't need to cut it into pieces and you can just give it a quick mix, and its formed your biscuit dough. Over here in New Zealand, we call them scones not biscuits
I love the biscuit recipe and have made it several times since I saw it. I did make a couple of changes to make things easier for me. The first time I made them I didn't have my pastry or biscuit cutters so I took my butter from the freezer and used a grater. All I had to do then was toss the butter and flour with a fork before I added the liquid. When I rolled it out the last time I cut it into squares.
The other thing I do is put my recipes into an app I have on my phone called paprika. I have the basic recipe and I can choose how many batches I want and it does all the math for me. It's something I've had for years and I love it. It has so many features and it really saves me time. Lol, this isn't an ad. It's just something that's made my life a bit easier.
Oh my gracious! Becky… it’s like you’ve picked up on my fears. I’m making the official Thanksgiving apple pie this year (I’ve never made a pie) and I’m legit freaked. This video is an answer to all my worries. Thank you!!
Key to apple pie is that apples shrink A LOT! Use twice as many as you think unless you’re following a set recipe. My first pie was all crust and a smear of apples lol
Your chicken Mama side makes me smile! I love watching your girls follow you around!!
Oh my gosh how cute with the chickens!
You can put the peppers on the pizza frozen which works perfect, otherwise you can dump them frozen in a bowl of cold water and they don't get so mushy as they can by letting them defrost on a plate
I once forgot to add salt. It was a small batch like what you did here. I made extremely briney water and just poured a little brine on my hands as I kneaded. My mother and I baked bread every Sunday. We had a large family so the amount of dough was 4 - 5 times as much ad you made. All the extended family knew our Sunday routine so the bread was all gone by the end of the day. So much love in Sundays.
That's awesome!!😊🥰🙏
Yayy. I literally was looking up your biscuit recipe to stash some in the freezer...for my busy days at work and a new video appeared. Oh what a joy!😃
You are a superwoman, Becky! You made everything looks so easy. 🙌🏻
I struggle with finding recipes for dough related items.
I made the pizza dough this morning and frozen it.
I kept a small piece out to bake and taste with ham and cheese left overs.
You are such a blessing. It's perfect. THANK YOU
Hope you’re having an amazing day! I’m nervous as we get closer to your due date! I’m sooo looking forward to this new chapter in your life! ❤
You are completely amazing!!! What a great video. I do these things too, but not on the scale you do. I always keep cooked hamburger, italian sausage and chorizo in the freezer for pizza, omlets, breakfast burritos, etc. I have never seen anyone who cooks so efficiently and doesn't waste time, or steps. You do a great job.
Well said!❤
In lieu of disposing the pumpkin "juice," try freezing it. It makes a perfect base for using in any soup or sauce. You can also transform it into a vegetable stock.
Your so happy all the time. I'm glad you said in your last video that you do rest. X
You taught me to have vegetable or chicken Stock canned. I just live it. I open a jar, bring it to simmer, add grated carrots, sellerie, some mee nudels and you have a tasty, healthy meal in 5 minutes.
Food is a livesafer with Kids. You can deal with being tired, you can deal with being hungry but not both.
Gosh that pizza dough was a major workout for you. My guess is you will never forget salt again. Live and learn. I so love all of your hints and suggestions for ways to make the most of our time in the kitchen. Thank you for sharing with us. It was nice to see your girls outside in this video. Looks like they have adjusted to the new house nicely. The dishes can wait. They will be there when you feel up to dealing with them. Go relax!
I didn't know about the different textures of the pumpkins. Love learning new things on your videos!!! Thanks a lot!
I just would love to say. Your tips for convenience items and ways to make later yous life easier has been soooo helpful for me as someone who has ADHD. Learning about ways to preserve food if it needs to be dealt with but I’m not eating it right away. Or having ways to help yourself have a homemade food at a later time has been a game changer!
I hope Josh watches all these baby food prep videos so that he’ll know what’s in the freezer for what meal. Maybe you can make him a master list so he can bring food whenever you ring the bell for service. New Mom's prerogative. LOL 🤎
LOL ❤
haha right? Teach that man how to cook so you can rest LOL
Yes freezer meals for the win! I’ve been trying to talk my husband into buying us a stand up freezer so we can stock it up and not have to worry too much for crappy conveniencefoods chock full of preservatives and junk we don’t need in for our growing kids to eat. Our son is almost two and he already can put away some groceries. The issue is our daughter. She’s older as picky. So I need to get crafty. I’m about to get a few notebooks to start writing down my recipes in one place so I don’t have to worry about them being lost. Love your channel! And can’t wait for baby to come around. It’s so rewarding. I wish I had prepared more freezer meals for my last post partum journey than I did. But it all worked out in the end.
Your 🐓 chickens were so much more excited to be with you then the pumpkin 😂 i love that
Boy oh Boy was this a productive day for you. LOL Thank you for inspiring me to maximize my days doll! I actually came on to see about freezing pie crust and my assumptions were right based off how you just did it. Also that PIZZA looks AMAZING! I can almost smell it through CZcams. LOL Also that cleaner is really good for your counter top. It left a buffering shine to it after you cleaned it. Thanks Becky, you really ROCK!
Yay!! I have been feeling awful! Thankful to have something good to watch! Yours is one of my favorite channels!
Becky, I am so glad I found your channel in 2020. You have been a great inspiration and I love your sweet personality, you are a wonderful wife and your little one will be blessed to call you mama. Blessings
So glad you did another video with your pizza dough and pie crust recipes. I had them written down and had several in the freezer, until they was gone! Went to prepare more and couldnt find the recipes. Jumped on here and right up top in your videos is this video, no searching.
My husband loves your pizza crust recipe. We did try a different one a few weeks ago and let's just say, we was not impressed at all.
I got your recipes once again tonight and it took me just a little over an hour to get 8 pizza doughs and 4 pie crusts in the freezer!
Will be making your biscuit dough tomorrow after I pick up some more salt (I ran out 🙄) and get some buttermilk.
Thank you for all you do.
These recipes makes it super easy for me or my husband to quickly pull supper together on the nights that I have my autoimmune flares to the degree it just takes me down...thank you so much.
Wishing you many blessing with the new baby.

I know you have mentioned that somewhere down the line you would like to remodel your kitchen. I think your kitchen is a great working kitchen. You have the space, the appliances and a pretty terrific island. Don’t change too much!
