So I fell out of my chair when you said you never made fried chicken. I got back up and continued the video. Fell immediately back out of the chair when u said u hadn’t made coleslaw. I will continue the video from the floor here where I will be safe. Lol. Love you Becky- my literal favorite channel for when I get home from work and I just want to hang out with you. ❤️❤️

BECKY HONEY I NEED TO GIVE YOU A SUGGESTION. As a 60ty something Grammy I have learned a few tricks when washing produce. When washing fruits & veggies also use a big bowl with apple cider vinegar & water to wash your produce. Use 1/4 cup of ACV in a large bowl with water. Let soak just like 3-5 minutes then rinse off under running water. Then lay out on your clean dish towels to air dry. This kills bugs & germs that are on your produce. Also it will make your produce last longer. Even your strawberries & berries last longer if prepared this way then stored in quart jars with a lid. Thanks for sharing all you do. GOD BLESS FROM WEST CENTRAL INDIANA FARMLAND ✝️🇺🇸😊🚜

@VagabondAnne 2 года назад

Gonna second this. Berries especially keep longer when rinsed in vinegar water, and anything keeps longer if it's dry in a glass jar! Cilantro lasts ages if it's very dry in the jar. Glass keeps things colder!

@getitherething.2653 2 года назад

@terryhenderson424 2 года назад

How about a "use your garden" challenge? Maybe every day must include at least 1 fresh veggie dish. One thing that a number of beginning gardeners who have grown up with a fully stocked, full service grocery store face is learning to use the produce at hand as it comes from the garden.

Hi Becky, I'm a fairly new subscriber and I love your content. When I make chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and the recipe calls for 2 cups of oatmeal, I substitute 1 cup of the oatmeal with 1 cup of granola. Try it...it's so good. Small way of getting through some of your bulk granola supply.

I admire the thought of a pantry challenge to learn where I may have missed something important to stock. However at this stage of record inflation at a 40-year high, I don’t believe it is wise to stop purchasing food to stockpile right now. My husband and I live high in the Sierras and only go down the mountain to shop about once every two weeks, and we try to combine those days with doctor’s appointments. Yesterday we stopped at a u-bake pizza place where two weeks ago the 1-topping pizzas were $6 each, and yesterday they were $12 each. The local grocery store had raised their 6-piece fried chicken bucket from $7.99 to $13.99 in just two weeks. I would not advise stopping your grocery purchases right now, because in a month they’ll likely be much higher.

@codyaustin8836 2 года назад

Ohmygoodness Becky! I just sat myself down this morning to plan out my pantry challenge! My husband's company just restructured their payment process for the salary workers. That means the pay check he got 3 weeks ago will be it until the last business day of June! We have all of our homestead, animals and three sons to feed. We do not have credit cards and we do NOT want to dip into savings so I'm going to challenge myself to feed my family from my pantry, garden (my zone is just starting to produce seedlings) and freezers. We raise laying hens & meat animals so I'll be able to harvest those as well❤️ I have zero social media so this is my girl hang out spot, I love when you say you are doing things with us just as if we were there with you!

i make mushroom powder from tons of different varieties of foraged and store-bought mushrooms! Funny story- my 13 yr old grandson constantly told me that he HATES mushrooms, he states that he can "sense" them in any food...lol, I recently shared with him that I have been feeding him mushrooms since he was a baby and he has always liked my food. His response was "well, I guess I love mushrooms then." I think with him it is a texture thing. :) I also make mixed greens blend that has EVERYTHING in it, dandelion, lettuces, kale, strawberry, blackberry and raspberry leaves, comfrey, squash leaves the list goes on and on... I powder them all up and along with the mushroom powder, put it on and in every savory application that I make. Huge flavor. :)

I have really liked using Einkorn flour. I discovered it when someone brought Einkorn cookies to a Christmas party. I shared them with a daughter-in-law who can’t eat gluten and they didn’t upset her stomach at all. She’s not celiac but has some other real gluten sensitivity issues…. I was surprise she wanted to try it but she did and it was a happy discovery.

I've had patients who clued me in to ancient flours. They were told they had gluten allergies or intolerance, but surprisingly found these flours and had no problems! One of them mentioned a theory that the wheat today is sprayed and maybe that's the reason for the intolerance. Interesting subject.

@cynthiadaniels1318 2 года назад

I'm catching this one late but my 2 cents on the baby carrot are: they are regular carrots that have been cut, "polished" and treated with chlorine bleach. It is claimed that the chlorine evaporates as it dries and all that's left is water but that's what causes them to have that dull, watery flavor. Good luck with the fried chicken!

@eer4465 2 года назад

I've tried those "baby" carrots a couple of times, and they got slippery slimy in the fridge, after just a few days. No more of that, thank you! Perhaps they use chlorine to try to keep them fresh longer? Maybe the chlorine kills the carrots along with any evil critters that are targeted? Who wants to eat toxic carrots from a plastic bag? I scrub the critters off fresh carrots again, now. When will they quit messing with our food? Ridiculous. Here's to Our Becky! 🥕🥬🍎🥔🍍🥗

Oh! Also! Salad prep stuff! I used to pack salads for lunches all the time. Best thing to do for ingredients that may change the salad, or be changed by the salad, is to put them in reusable muffin liners! I've got a bunch of silicone muffin liners in different sized, and you can nestle them into the corner of the container and fill them with things like the pickled onions, or the shredded cheese (Which can sometimes get sweaty or clump depending on how long it's in the box.), or boiled eggs. Then, you just dump those and the dressing in when it's time to eat, and don't have to worry about remembering to add any missing parts!

Once I got my starter going and active, my sourdough starter went to live in my frig and I can go weeks without feeding it and can even bake with it without feeding it first.

A note about ordering produce from Azure. I've been ordering from them for over 20 years. Take into account how far you are from their facility. (I realize you're close by, but this is for others.) Where we live means items are on the truck a guaranteed 4-day minimum. I tell others that soft, organic produce doesn't travel that well; firm produce such as potatoes and such are fine. We have stores here locally that I purchase most of our produce.

I was surprised to hear you've never made fried chicken. Oh my gosh, Becky! It is SOO good!!!! Put a little baking powder in your flour mixture along with your favorite spices ( I use garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika), dredge your chicken in milk or eggs, then in the flour, twice. It makes the coating extra crispy. If you're frying in oil instead of baking, when your chicken floats to the surface of your pot of oil, it's done. Have fun and enjoy! It will be so yummy!!!!!!!

Pantry challenge seems like a great idea! Since I like using up my home canned items within 2 years, I decided to do a mini-challenge to myself by pulling out my pantry anything 2 years or older and either using it up in the next 2 months or tossing it to the chickens. This will free up canning jars I could use for canning things I will actually eat.

For meal prep salads we always put the heavy vegetables in the bottom like carrots, celery, etc. This way the lettuce doesn't get bruised as fast and stays out of any accumulated moisture on the bottom. If you have an older refrigerator where you put your meal prep salads can make a huge difference -- cold but not frosty (the door is too warm for us). Edit: spinach and hearty greens work great, but I prefer romaine.

@hannahkayee831 2 года назад

I recently put a salad mix on my top shelf because I just kinda threw it in after going to the store. & it froze. Also I believe my fridge is too cold. Completely agree about the salad prepping.

You might read all about sour dough starter on King Arthur Flour Blog. I was reading the other day that almost all defunct starters can be resurrected unless it is actually rotten/spoiled. I always kept mine in the frig which helped some, but gave it up because I wasn't using it. I also just read today that you can make a 2 ounce starter and that lessens the starter waste. Another thing. I noticed the other day you mentioned you were going to wash the eggs after you gathered them. I just read the other day that that is not a good idea, because that washes off the protective film layer the chickens put on them, and then bacteria can get through the shell. I love your vlogs and enjoy watching. My husband won't eat 98% of what you make, so I just enjoy watching, and cook wondrous things only in my head.

I've been on a salad and yogurt parfait kick, I love it, although harder to do in the winter months. I never tried it with peas, but I will it looked yummy. I also add in mushroom, cucumber, hard boiled egg, bbq chicken or like panko chicken. They have a salad season grinder that takes your salad to a whole new level so you don't need as much salad dressing it's called "salad seasoning " by the spice depot ingredients are black pepper, salt, dehydrated garlic, naturally occurring sulfites, sugar, mustard seed, dehydrated onion, rosemary, dehydrated chive and basil. Oh I also started putting blueberries on top, yum. Great hall, thanks for sharing 😊

King Arthur Baking has great support if you need help! They helped me get my sourdough starter going initially when I was having an issue. I’ve found my starter very forgiving when stored in the fridge. Hooch (the alcoholic gray liquid that accumulates on top) doesn’t mean it’s dead. Stir it up or pour it off and feed as usual. Jack from Bake With Jack doesn’t even feed his starter prior to storing in the fridge. I’ve adopted his method with success. So easy and less cast off starter to use or waste!

@dreamingwillowhomestead7909 2 года назад

Hey Becky! You should look up a dry sour dough! You keep it in the fridge, only feed it when you need more, and there’s no discard! Super excited you’ve decided to try out einkorn. We’ve been using it for about a year and a half and we love it! Especially in sourdough! Good luck🤗

@TheReferee2023 2 года назад

put a paper towel in with your cut lettuce. it will soak up the water and keep it crispy longer. on the premade salads, place it on top. but store them upside down in the fridge. then can just remove the paper towel before adding the dressing.

Watch out when you start experimenting with ancient grains; it’s a fascinating adventure! Have you considered a grain mill and groat flaker? Great fun! Easy, quick, and I honestly haven’t bought rolled oats in years; healthier and a nearly infinite shelf life.

@gibbsacre2984 2 года назад

I made your no-knead bread with einkorn flour. It is great. I love it. You do need a little more flour or use a little less water but other than that it is great. Einkorn does have a higher carb count. It is harder for a diabetic person to process.

If you put dressing in the bottom of a mason jar and put your salad ontop of the dressing in the mason jar it stays fresh. Then just skate up the mason jar when your ready to eat it

@gamer386 2 года назад

With my sourdough starter, I feed it, let it double or triple, and then I put it straight into the fridge. Every month or so (whenever I remember) I'll pull it out, discard (feeding the dog) most of it and feed it and repeat. If I see it starting to have liquid at the top, I know it's time to feed it. I've kept my starter alive and very happy for over two years now. I will even bake directly from the cold starter from the fridge. It might take longer for the first rise, but I've never had it not work well

@zormier2002 2 года назад

Do you discard the liquid on top?

@gamer386 2 года назад

@@zormier2002 if it's gray (but smells OK) I do. It means I went too long without feeding. I discard any of the starter that is off color. If it's tan, you can either discard it or stir it in. If you discard it, it will be less sour, if you stir it in, it's will be more sour

Have you heard about dehydrating your sour dough starter? Crumble, and store on the shelf in Mason jars. Then rehydrate as you need. There are instructions in Pinterest.

@edbcali 2 года назад

For sourdough starter, once you get it going, discarding and feeding once per day, about 7-10 day in, then you can keep it in the fridge and only feed it once every 7-14 days. If you make bread once per week then feed it, use for bread and put it back in the fridge till next time. That reduces waste and it reduces your chance if killing it 🤣

We had carrot and celery sticks with lunch everyday, during kids camp. The carrots were washed, peeled and cut into sticks. They were then put in a gallon plastic bag with about a cup of water and a tablespoon of brown sugar, placed in the fridge overnight. Sweet!

I really enjoy watching your channel. I teach culinary to high school students and some nights I am out of energy to cook at home. I love hat you plan ahead. My boyfriend takes Leftovers for his lunches as well. I typically do a small salad and a smaller portion of an entree & sides for his lunch. At the beginning of covid he took the whole bottle of ranch to work. I have learned since to portion out his dressing so there is some when I am home. I have been enjoying making Greek dressing though for my salads. You have inspired me to learn how to can and freeze dry. I was sharing your content with a coworker who has a garden for his family and cans every season! Thank you for the content.

Becky you can make your vinaigrette in bulk and store in the fridge. I used to do it for friends all the time who loved how I make mine. Just be aware that the oil will solidify, so pull it out a bit before you want to use it so the oils warm up. Saves you having to buy premade with less than ideal ingredients.

I ordered some onions and garlic from azure a couple months ago. The onions were fine but the garlic was less than impressive. I was disappointed in that. I hesitate to buy too much produce from them too just because our family of 5 doesnt go through that much produce either. I do make mirapoix and vacuum pack it for the freezer and that is a big time saver for soups and just adding a boost of flavor and veggies to lots of dishes.

@dorissauerlender5211 2 года назад

Hi Becky! I've been enjoying your videos very much! You're a great motivator...thank you! As far as the weevils I have read that you should sustain the freezing for 72 hours up to a week. This will ensure that all the life phases of the weevils life (egg, larvae, pupae and adult) are addressed and neutralized. Also other insect's similar life phases can be addressed using this length of freezing. I once had a terrible weevil infestation after a 2 week vacation. The original source was a small bag of gluten free hot cereal, the infestation was quite ghastly and had of course moved into other products like cereal, bags of beans etc. That was 6 years ago and after I spent hours scrubbing and throwing away everything in my cabinets. Ewwww and gross! 😰 I now err on the side of caution. 72+ hours in the freezer...grains, flours, beans, peas etc. They all go in and are stored in glass with tight lids. Thanks again. God bless!
