My 4 year old daughter is your biggest fan. And now, in addition to watching your videos, she likes to run around our backyard and “play Becky”. She carries a bucket around and picks random leaves and sticks, calling them her garden crops. Then she pretends to make freezer meals. Just wanted to let you know that you are influencing one little girl in the best way. Thank you for creating this channel and giving us viewers a loving community full of helpful information and kindness ❤

Don't know if u already do this but, my granny use to pour COOLED bacon drippings into old fashioned ice cubed trays and freeze it. When it was frozen she took the cubes out and stored it in freezer bags in the freezer. One frozen bacon cube was equal to one tablespoon.

@craftyanny8471 Год назад

A Tip: If you end up with left over filling just make stuffed pepper soup, which is everything that goes into stuffed peppers in a tomato broth, it's delish and a great way to enjoy stuffed peppers without all the work. Hope you try it and love it.

@CrazySunny1970 Год назад

I just made stuffed pepper soup last night, and had it again for lunch today. It is SO GOOD.

@christinaclark9754 Год назад

I was thinking something similar. Could freeze the left over filling to make soup with it later in the year for an easy dinner.

@KeyClavis Год назад

And you can add some of the scraps from trimming up the peppers. Also, the filling works well for stuffed tomatoes, stuffed squash, and I suppose you could use it as topping for baked potatoes... but you might want to add a little extra cheese if you do that.

@paulineclarke5388 Год назад

But, recently processed 25 lbs of tomatoes into sauce, salsa, soup for the freezer and also got 25 lbs of enormous candy onions. Picked up apples, carrots and beautiful bell peppers today.

@Tandyhn Год назад

I love watching your energy turn into motivation at my house 😊!!! I had a thought about post partum meals you may want to consider when putting food up. If you are planning to breastfeed, you never know if the baby may have a tummy sensitivity to tomato or greasy foods, or even dairy. You may make a few recipes that are dairy free, or less acid so you have options if you need to troubleshoot tears in the first few weeks. Just a thought??? Keep on motivating the rest of us sweet girl! Maybe we can return the favor when the new baby arrives.🎉

@janetbrowning9067 Год назад

My Grandma used to save her bacon grease too. It was her secret ingredient in her famous Molasses cookies. We all had the recipe, but hers always tasted better. My sister (who now lives in her house) got her recipe box, and discovered the "secret".

I also had homemade trailmix on hand (you can buy them but they often have too much sugar), cheese sticks, and as weird as it sounds I had Once Upon A Farm baby food pouches and yogurt pouches because they were healthy ways to get quick nourishment. Have some frozen veggies on hand. I also prepped You're going to be STARVING if you're breastfeeding, so keep lots of healthy snacks on hand. Buy Nectar oriquid IV(if youre ok with the sugar levels) for electrolyte replenishment. And please make sure you go walk outside as much as you can! Vitamin D is amazing. Good luck!

Hi Becky!! I've been watching your videos for quite some time, but even more so the past few months. In May I had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor along with part of my femur to make sure it was all removed. As a result of the placement of the tumor, I also needed a TKR and ended up with foot drop from some nerve damage that happened during surgery. Since my surgery, it's been difficult to get back into the swing of things with being independent again, and finding the drive to do the things I once loved to do before- like cooking. Watching your videos has helped me immensely in being motivated again and wanting to learn how to be less wasteful and more self sufficient. Especially when you talk about eating out because you want to, not because you have to. That's helped change my outlook to get my butt in the kitchen and prepare freezer foods!! I'm EXCITED to be in the kitchen again and I honestly didn't know if I ever would be. Thank you for posting as frequently as you do. Your positivity and drive that shines through your videos truly makes my day!! 🌻 Keep it up!! ❤️ P.s.-could we maybe get a hair tutorial for how you do your buns? 😆 I can never get mine to stay in place!!

I never had a turkey that didn't have stuff in the cavity. I've always thawed by turkey first so that I could pull out the neck and gizzards from the cavity. I usually cook those separately to add to my gravy. You said you got the turkey from Kroger last November (at least that is what I heard). Has anyone else ever gotten a frozen turkey with nothing in the cavity?

@one4lola174 Год назад

Becky you remind me of my older sister. Growing up I used to watch my sister in the kitchen throw together such random ingredients and make the most flavorful and delicious dinners, I was always amazed at how someone could possibly cook without looking at a recipe. My sister inspired me that way, especially because what she would make tasted so much better than any recipe I’ve ever followed. I took it as a lesson and began to push myself to experiment in my kitchen, it is the only way I cook now, I’ll glance at a recipe here and there if I want to make a specific dish that I’m not familiar with the taste. But I’ve become so good at using my own tastebuds (let’s say it was a dish at a restaurant) I would formulate how they might of accomplished such a flavor, later make it myself randomly, and dishes coming out absolutely incredible. I think food taste better when you aren’t being so knit picky

We unloaded and piled everything in the living room last night. This evening we will have company. No problem. I went to the pantry (all over the mobile home), chose six jars of canned food, and then threw the ingredients for a loaf of bread in the bread-maker. We will have a delicious supper and meanwhile I'm working at putting away all the stuff from the car.

So far the price range has been from $2.69 to $1.89 a pound and the average size being 20 pounds plus.

Some of the best Postpartum things I ever had were what we call Flapjacks in England. I don't know what you guys would call them. They're oaty bars that are so tasty and oats are a great aid in milk production too. Oat and blueberry muffins as well, I made giant batches and just defrosted 6/8 overnight for the next day, snacked on them while feeding little one.

@cynthiafisher9907 Год назад

Flapjacks in the US are pancakes. Maybe what you are talking about we would call granola bars.

@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden Год назад

@@cynthiafisher9907 They're similar to granola bars, yes. The main thing that makes it a flapjack is that it has golden syrup in it (it's sort of like a light, golden molasses, really caramel tasting when cooked), I don't think you have that in the US and I don't think there's really anything comparable in taste. Granola bars would be a good substitute in this context though!

We are moving next month to leave city life onto a 6 acre property with a 100 yr old cottage. The cottage needs some TLC but not changing the charm of the building. It has a pie cooling window and wood stove in the kitchen. We can finally grow a veggie garden which I can't wait to enjoy the harvest and cann up everything. We also will be getting some chickens. My health has been on a steady decline so this is what the doctor ordered lol. Moving away from all the stresses to where we get our water from the creek and not a street light anywhere so we can enjoy the stars and silence of cars, and no neighbors . Also going to try the natural medicinal path to get off as many prescriptions as I can. Thank you again Becky for all the hard work you do for this channel. It's a blessing.

Hey, Becky! Love cooking with you! I listen to you while I cook! 😊 Just a wee hint for you. Sometimes when you’re in a hurry to put dishes away and they are still hot, when they cool they tend to get stuck like those 9x13s did with you. If you submerge them in hot water again they will lift apart like they were never stuck together. I’m not the only one that puts dishes away here so I learned this the hard way. Hope this helps you as well as anyone else that watches you and enjoys the comments. ❤

@Skatejock21 Год назад

When you were cutting all the peppers. You reminded me of my practicum in culinary school. I was cutting mushrooms a certain way with one of the chefs. He was showing me a certain way to make them look nice for presentation. I asked how he got good at it. Many people would think he said "practice". While practice is the main thing, he told me that he took boxes of mushrooms and started doing the designs in front of the tv. He said sometimes learning a certain skill can be mundane and you need a secondary distraction to give yourself the desire to just sit and learn something that is seemingly mundane; sometimes practice is merely just part of the process but its not a helpful answer and not always the most helpful thing to give someone the desire to learn. It doesn't give motivation to say "practice" at times.

In case baby throws you a curve ball by being sensitive to the foods you love now, also prep ahead some plain dishes with little or no dairy or heavy spices. And if you are blessed to not have that problem (I hope so!!!) all you have to do is jazz them up when you get them out of the freezer.

Hi Ms. Becky. 😊 If you want a quick way to cook a turkey and still have moist turkey, EVERY TIME. Cook it in a turkey sized cooking bag (like Reynolds), a 18 lb turkey cooks in about 3 hours, sometimes less. I kid you not. No basting, just prepping as usual, follow the easy directions on the box for the bag prep, put into bag, into oven and forget it for 2-3 hours, depending on the size of the turkey! 😊 My mom taught me to cook turkeys this way, it has never failed me in 30 years of cooking turkeys. I also cook my roast the same way, (roast and veggies around it) turn out amazing, never dry.
