I love hearing the baby in the back ground giving his 2 cents of what we need to know about what's going on. Great video, I know you are glad the tomatoes are done.

@Jax-kj5yo Год назад

Hey Becky, one kitchen essential that I use for many spices that need to be ground for a recipe is an electric coffee grinder! It doesn't have to be a big one, it works so quickly. I have one I use specifically for this purpose. You can pick them up quite cheaply. I grind up mustard seeds and make enough to keep in a small jar for the next time. Another brilliant use of them is to make peanut butter. Instead of putting peanuts straight into a processor to grind up, I start them up by using the coffee grinder then add them to the processor. It saves so much time and all you then have to do is add some olive oil to the mix and you will have the. most amazing peanut butter without preservatives and no palm oil as is used in many commercial brands.

@sunmase2249 Год назад

Agree with the spice grinder. I have two just for this purpose- one for coffee and one for spices. It’s so much easier!

@jacquespoulemer3577 Год назад

I also have two coffee grinders, one for savoury spices and one for sweet spices. We don't drink coffee so we don't need one for that 😁

@kimcritchfield5796 Год назад

Yep! Great to grind after freeze drying.

@shellbells339 Год назад

Its also good for baby food.

@dorothyyoung8231 Год назад

And a pastry brush is a good tool for brushing out the ground spices between batches. Unplug the grinder first, please!

@Tzippy323 Год назад

I take the skins from my tomatoes and dehydrate them, then powder them. This can be used to make tomato sauce by adding water, or added to soups. It is a wonderful addition to the pantry.

@JanicePhillips Год назад

I did Becky's cook and buzz method. LOL! Cook mator's, skins, seeds and all and then blend everything up and can! Makes quick work of mator sauce! And it really packs a tomato punch!

@lisaruiz149 Год назад

A bit time consuming but YES! I will be doing the same!

@mehtarelingolien Год назад

It also makes a great tomato paste. And because the skins contain pectin, it's a great thickener.

@ladytyphon7261 Год назад

The tomato skin powder is great added to flour if making a roux or making pasta. Even into bread.

@pamt3915 Год назад

SOLUTION FOR SPICES YOU DON’T USE OFTEN: put it in a canning jar (4 oz or larger) & use the food saver jar sealer tops to vacuum seal them. For powdered spices fold up a coffee filter to cover the spice so it won’t get sucked into the vacuum sealer machine. I always re-vacuum seal these jars so they’re always fresh & not thrown out.

@JanicePhillips Год назад

Excellent idea, Pam! And thanks for the tip. I haven't used my jar sealer yet, but I couldn't have put up my first pig without my food saver! It takes the freezer burn fear away and gives me time to can or grind the meat on my own time!

@KellySandra716 Год назад

Oh cool I never thought of the air seal wh filter. I love old bay and am tossing every couple of yrs cause I only use in a few things and not often and it's quite expensive. Ty.

@lindap9079 Год назад

I suggest keeping your current food mill. I'm all for investing in tools that are kitchen mainstays, but the food mill will only be used a few times a year. When Baby A is a little older he will love cranking the Squeezo for you. I run my skin/seed bowl back through the mill a second or even third time. It's amazing how much more you get.

@kdonor Год назад

I run things through 3x usually. So little waste.

@waughrb Год назад

I agree to run through multiple times. Then take your skins and dehydrate them, blend them into powder, and use as a thickener option.

@ThisPugLife Год назад

Kitchen Aid makes a food mill attachment. It is a little fiddly setting up the bowls at the right heights since it sits up so high, but it's great for processing tomatoes and apples, and everything fits in a small box for storage.

@cindyfrabott5871 Год назад

@@ThisPugLife I came to say the same. The few times I used mine, it really seemed to be fussy.

@sirfriscopatrisky Год назад

You did say that you have to be mindful of the ratio of onions/peppers to vinegar to tomatoes… and it’s important to note the ratio of onion to pepper within that ratio can be adjusted. Example 2.5 cups onions + 2.5 cup peppers can be adjusted to 1.5 cup onions to 3.5 cup peppers or any other ratio as long as the 5 cups of onion/pepper is maintained in ratio to the vinegar and tomato (since onion/pepper is the NON ACIDIC portion of the recipe. This is from the NCHFP website.

FYI You can add onion tops to a dry all purpose seasoning or make a wet seasoning/sofrito which is blended onions, garlic, bell peppers, and perhaps any herbs you’d like (cilantro is classic in sofrito)You can store it in the fridge and add a couple of tablespoons to practically any savory dish for instant flavor. You can also freeze it in cubes and keep them in a bag when you don’t feel like doing any chopping! ❤

@alexandrawilson1558 Год назад

Becky, I love each and every one of your videos, whether food cooking or preservation, gardening or home DIY. One thing I've noticed in a number of your videos is that you put the blade from your food processor into the dishwasher. Doing this blunts the blade. It's always best to hand wash any sharp blades, including sharp knives.

@YeshuaKingMessiah Год назад

Omigosh I’ve never thot of that! Ur right I only hand wash knives I should hand wash ANY blade

@lisawallace3124 Год назад

I have been putting the blade to my food processor in the dishwasher for 25 years and it's still as sharp as the day I got it. Cuisinart for the win! Frankly, if I had to hand wash it, I would probably never use the food processor because of all the home making "chores" I loathe doing dishes the worst!

@ZenKode222 Год назад

I often freeze tomatoes. I simply run them frozen under tap water and the skin slips right off. Great video as always Becky! 💛

@meggo6673 Год назад

Becky, when I clean out my spices and herbs, I save the chicken safe ones and store them in an outbuilding with my chicken feed. They are a great addition to their diet in winter and can help them stay healthier. I actually also grow some things for them (calendula, mint, catnip, lemon balm, oregano, thyme) and freeze dry or dehydrate for winter. It’s a great way to use up excess herbs and keep them healthy. Thank you for all you’ve taught me ❤

I know this was previously mentioned by another viewer, but I wanted to say why because I have done both ways. You can run warm water over those tomatoes and the skins will come right off, but also they are much more manageable while still frozen then a soggy mess.

Just an observation, not trying to be rude, I promise. That water, from the tomatoes. It was the freezer frost that melted when thawing. Weren't they just tossed, straight from the garden, unwashed, into the freezer? I'm not sure it's a liquid you should be saving to consume.

@stormyweather2807 Год назад

I don't recall if she washed them before freezing (although I can't imagine anyone freezing unwashed produce) but when I thaw my frozen tomatoes they lose a major part of the liquid they contain. Every juicy vegetable does, it's just part of the cell rupture that happens during freezing. I call it tomato water and it's delicious.

The garden is shaping up nicely. All the best Jim Oaxaca Mexico

Hey that bowl of garlic on top shelf of cabinet with your vinegar and oil. I think that bowl of garlic came from when you was planting garlic at new house for first time. You had to go back in the house to get more to plant cause you had more you then you thought! Lol! Love watching you! Found you a few weeks again and can't stop watching you build your forever home with you lovely family! Hope that helped!❤

Showing us your new rock retaining wall made me think that I would be putting perennials of some kind peeking out from the 'holes'....what fun!

@aliciadupuy9228 Год назад

Maybe switch glass food storage containers and spices. Since u use glass containers more often, it will be easier to keep organized. Putting the spices in that pull out shelf will make it much easier to see what is there and to keep it organized.

You are such an inspiration to so many. I have a pantry and garden because of how excited I got watching your videos. This will be my first time canning but I’m super excited. Scared but excited. Thank you Becky. Your videos fly by. ❤❤ P.S. your lawn is going to be spectacular.

I have the mill that attaches to my kitchenaid mixer. It is a life saver. I use it all the time. One hint for it is to run your scraps through it for a second time because a ton more comes out of them. Sometimes I run it through a third time until the tomato scraps are really kind of dry. The amount of pulp you get the second and third time is amazing.

I absolutely love the colour you chose for your house, you were right to change it when you weren't happy. I know this is off topic but have you thought about some sort of sideboard or hutch dresser on that wall between the kitchen and dining table? It's such a massive area and I can just imagine a really nice dresser with maybe a mirror or one of your large art pieces over it! Love what you do Becky, thanks for the videos.

@dirtroaddestiny Год назад

I’m re thinking my garden as well as a few other things. Really looking into more storage crop in the garden this year. Also great video as always. Blessings Becky ❤

@jacksonjackson5556 Год назад

Oh Becky I'm certain that a soup kitchen or shelter would have loved to have gotten some of your cast off spices. They don't get a lot of spices/herbs donated. Maybe next time??

@nancyrobinson972 Год назад

I love your videos. You are definitely inspiring me to do some preserving. Thank you for inspiration. And love watching you cook with the baby and love the progress in the garden and yard. Thank you for sharing

@dianaoconnor6655 Год назад

I love to hear your little one while you are working. I have worked while holding and caring for 5 children and that’s the blessing. Getting to have them with you. It’s a lot more work but it sure is precious. He sounds so sweet.

I have been using celery seed alot lately. The depth of flavor increases with it. You should try your next batch with celery seed. A game changer

@dlsdyer9071 Год назад

Love making celery salt with dried celery powder from the garden and sea salt. We use it on everything!

How do u make celery seed I thought it was celery seeds

Too darn cute! Baby Acre's little feet hanging out the bottom of your wrap. ❤😴

@kattubbs5634 Год назад

Becky, you handle all of your cooking and canning, while caring for your little one, so well. You seem so calm and content. That is so important for Baby A!❤❤

@diananutt2745 Год назад

So happy for you guys. Living your best lives as you want to. I’m glad I can watch. Thank you for sharing.

@skitzodaclown295 Год назад

If you want your spices to last longer vacuum seal them then stick them in freezer. It extends the shelf life exponentially. That way you don’t have to worry about them going bad before you can get to them.

@kathymills795 Год назад

I just love your videos, you inspire me to cook more often and stop buying processed foods. Last year I made ketchup for the first time and my husband just loves it. I also started saving my scraps from onions, carrots and celery for beef and chicken stock. Thank you for the beautiful inspiration.

@robertlavigne6560 Год назад

You will be so happy that you did! The beautiful color and taste of my bone broth is wonderful. Happy cooking and baking, Debbie Lavigne

@reallystupidlingname Год назад

I started keeping my scraps too 😊

@lisasmith4202 Год назад

I always enjoy your videos and I love learning how to can things I normally would not try . I am glad the landscapers are getting so much done . Pretty soon you will have a whole new yard and lots of space for your gardens , can’t wait to see .

@wholenewperspective Год назад

You guys are getting a lot done outside. Your bbq sauce looks good. I may make some this year. You are right about organizing your pantry. I have also found things I didn’t think I had. Happy canning.💚

@lylymongeon Год назад

For the tomato water, i usually put it in a separate pot on the stove at have it at a rapid bowl while the sauce is cooking. It reduces quickly into a tomato syrup and I then add it back to the sauce. It greatly intensifies the tomato flavor.

@cynthiafisher9907 Год назад

Great idea! That’s what I wanted to say to Becky.

@diannerempel8262 Год назад

That's a great tip, as I usually freeze my tomatoes and process them later when I have enough!

@vivianzuniga8814 Год назад

Pouring from the big pan over top of your jars is a wreck waiting to happen!

@rhondal7590 Год назад

It is so easy to get cabinets all piled up. You are not the only one. Life is busy especially with a family. Enjoyed your video today and I cannot wait to see the finished product that is happening outdoors. Your blessed to be able to have the life that you have. God bless and have a great day.

@callieking8860 Год назад

You mention how important it is to get the ratio of onions and peppers to tomatoes and vinegar right for safety but you didn't even attempt to measure the tomatoes at all? With a little one in the family who will soon be eating your canned items please be more safe. You don't wanna get sick.

@franciscasanchez6311 Год назад

Thank you for making these videos! I enjoy spending time with you!

I love the homemade bbq sauce over the store bought. The flavors are so full of life ❤❤❤ and my wing sauce same ❤❤❤ loving homemade from scratch things 🥰

Mmmmm Wing Sauce!

@jonniricard7460 Год назад

You are so smart to be paring back on your belongings and bringing down the amount of things and even stored food to what you use and need. It has brought me so much peace and it is so much easier to keep my home tidy. It helps my mental disposition as well!

@freedomshack Год назад

That spice cabinet would make me crazy too! You need a system Becky. Maybe you could put everything in ball jars and then categorize them in containers (like separating spices & seasonings). Think like a grocery store. I did something similar with my spices and seasonings and it helped. I started realizing what I used and didn't use. Also, with the oils in your cabinet, it might help to contain them within the cabinet in small bins. You can pull down the bin you need and check inventory at the same time. As a new mom minimalism will be important so you can prioritize. I am a designer and organizing kind of comes hand in hand with what I do. You have been a tremendous influence on me. I love Azure and bulk shopping, doing more food preservation, started gardening and we have a coop with chicks on the way. Thank you and good luck with your cabinet!

@chrissynes3553 Год назад

Hi Becky! Put a dot sticker on the lid of the items that you have back ups or extras. This way you won’t buy more. My dad used to hook up his drill to where the crank handle is and my mom could breeze through her tomatoes.

@pax9864 Год назад

Awesome!

@MJM8715 Год назад

Great suggestion!

@deneishadaguilar-foster6202 Год назад

Good evening!!! Hope they trench the water lines extra deep so that in the winter the lines won't freeze.

@debbieembury6885 Год назад

I love seeing all those jars !! My daughter laughs and says mom do we have any food that isn’t in jars the fridge and pantry are full of them. I love it!!

@marilynwade9448 Год назад

I wish I had all my spices in an open shelf.i use them a lot.all of them. I love how handy yours are displayed

@janfelshaw8217 Год назад

Becky, here’s an idea for you. Label your jars and tops with a sharpie. That way you can see what you want quickly and your lids won’t get accidentally mixed up. You will know which one goes where. I learned that from an herbalist.

@allibeemomlifefamilyadventures Год назад

I am so similar. I need to start with a clean kitchen. And keep cleaning and re-organizing as I go. It definitely helps with efficiency!

@samieparadise9316 Год назад

I'm new to all this. I'm getting land and constructing a house soon. So I'm now watching all this stuff for the past year maybe to prepare for when I do have a place. You've helped me so much. You give me confidence going ahead starting from scratch. For now I've been ordering dehydrated food in 10 cans and 4 gallon pails to have a good amount of safety food to fall back on. I've mostly been going through auguson farms and yupik through Amazon with my food stamps. Just getting things here and there every month stocking up. I've seen people open them after 50 years and still good even with dairy inside. So I was sold. It helps me cuz I cam only shop once a month to still have veggies and fruits and not just freezer kind but dehydrated throughout the month. Your videos have really showed me how possible it is for me to live this life and I have so many tips and organization ideas from you that really give me the confidence to go ahead with this. I don't feel in over my head anymore. Thank you so much

@alisonnewall1748 Год назад

Those lazy susan inserts are not the best solution for the corner cabinets because it’s hard to reach stuff without knocking things over, and it’s hard to see what you’ve got. There’s a version that pulls out so you can see everything. If the opening is wide enough.
