It was Mrs. Brenda Gantt who taught me the celery trick! She is the sweetest lady and a fantastic cook! She has a KZbin Channel and two cookbooks and she is a joy to watch.

[@margretkates1394]

Yep, that’s her!

[@cheryldirsa8383]

She is Adorable... so down to earth and loving. - just like you ❤

[@marilyndaigle4012]

Just break it in half and it peals right off

[@baykittygirls9520]

I was going to ask if it was Brenda Gantt. I thought it had to be Ms. Brenda! She’s a good soul!

[@robyn7287]

I use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin, it does make it less chewy. Love your videos Becky. You’ve become a prolific blogger almost daily, your spoiling us 😅❤

[@gricelagonzalez1205]

I just wanted to tell you that my kids like to go to bed watching your channel. Every night they say "Mama put on the cooking girl" They are four years old. Thank you for your channel I have learned so much.

That is so sweet. ❤❤❤

[@kezru1581]

Omg that's adorable 😍

[@AcreHomestead]

Aw thanks so much for sharing that with me! Tell them I said hi!

[@Frankie_902]

​@@AcreHomesteadOh my goodness I bet that will make their evening!! A personal "hi" from you. ❤

[@DeAnn_Davies_1227]

You did it! Four entire weeks. Water issues and all! Way to go, girl!

[@sharoncook531]

Thank you for encouraging me to have food in my freezer and pantry. I was sick for all of January (except the last couple of days) and my daughter and I were able to eat without shopping or cooking just heating up meals! I guess this was a different kind of pantry challenge but so worth it. My daughter really is supportive of the meal prep I have been doing. By the way I just turned 69.

[@soniaallen1476]

Becky, I watch the Farming Pastor's wife and she gave you cred for her garlic puffs. I knew immediately that it was your idea she was about to use and then she gave you credit for it! Such a delight!

[@vivianzuniga8814]

An even easier way is to break the end of the celery but not all the way through. Then pull down and all the strings come off with the end piece. Easy!

[@bettypierce8050]

That's the way I do it too.

[@cindyabraham5503]

Try tart apples in your chicken salad. We like cranberries too and walnuts or pecans.

[@GabartaDiana]

@@bettypierce8050 Me, too!

[@darciclark4991]

That’s how I do it.

[@Soapartisan875]

Becky you can store your extra bulk flours in the fridge or freezer to extend the shelf life up to 6 months . It keeps any of the natural oils from the flour (wheat kernel )from going rancid .

[@pamelastokes2964]

Hey Becky. We southern woman are taught to pull the strings from celery when being taught to cook. My Daddy taught me to cook and showed me this trick. It makes eating the celery soo much nicer. ❤

[@shawns3113]

Have Josh adjust the stove legs to level your cooktop. They’re adjustable. ♥️

[@lucindasutt7365]

I was going to tell her that also. Apartment living, mone of the electric ranges are level I guess. I also think it makes a difference in uneven temperature spots in the oven as well.

[@MrShnier]

You always upload at the perfect times for me (UK, London) as it's always a cosy evening. Your videos and style is just incredibly relaxing, like I'm on call with a friend showing me their new recipes!

Becky! I realize this is SO much work for you. I do appreciate it and love watching these in the evenings after work or during my breaks at work. Sending love from Windsor, Ontario

[@lindasomerville4450]

Hello from Amherstburg, Ontario. I’ve just finished my January pantry challenge. I’m not a canner, so was relying on my freezer mostly. I allowed myself $10/week for fresh fruit & veg. Then one bag of milk & a container of yogurt for the month. I went over by about $4, but I needed eggs 🥚 🤷‍♀️Not too bad considering food prices 🇨🇦

[@joannemusick5622]

Little old Southern lady here. My grandmother showed me how to pull the strings off celery when I was small. Green beans used to have strings. That has been GMO’ed out of them. So, cutting the strings off of green beans and celery was a much sought after kid chore because we got to use a knife. Happy stringing!

[@janetbrown1521]

I remember stinging beans as a kid!

[@dldavis9676]

My grandma also showed me the trick of pulling celery strings!!

Great video! I am a home economist in Canada and I enjoy your unique approach to food preparation. You have amazing bread making skills. You have a nice casual style that makes you very relatable and enjoyable to watch. I love your channel.

[@westtrindy9176]

Hi Becky! 👋 You might try hitting the BAKE then START button on your ovens to see what your default setting is.... Mine is 350. So I never have to type in the “3 5 0” just the BAKE, START. (Sometimes I feel like I’m forever pushing buttons on my oven. ) 😂 I accidentally found this out and I know it sounds trivial, but it now saves me just that 1 step.

[@AcreHomestead]

What! I need to see if that works! That is amazing if it does

[@DonnaKohl458]

Mine is 350° also.

This is so funny to me, I have never peeled nor have I thought to peel celery. I seriously thought of the whole stalk as being stringy and fibrous. Who knew!

[@Cookingwithapril]

Right. I know now to peel it 😊

[@mayetcrawley5535]

This has just made my day!!!! I’m sitting down with a coffee and Becky to keep me company… nothing better!!!

[@KateEASN]

I love to watch you cook, you're such a natural! And those little incidents like the blender being turned on when you plugged it in...your reactions are priceless. 😂 I would NOT have gotten it turned off as quickly as you did! I'm so glad you've got water and your pantry challenge was amazing!

[@sleepyheadsymphonies2640]

Me too,she is so cute. i love how her eyes slide to one side and twinkle as a grin forms around her mouth and temples when she tastes her food. It's as if she surprises herself every time . Entertaining fun,educational,inspiring .I'm in the uk and probably will never make these kinds of recipes .I don't use alcohol and don't like capers, I never put salt in my food and rarely use sugar .my sin got a very bad salt stone under his tongue when he was 12 and he sobbed for a week with the pain of it so salt went out of our cooking now if I have food made by other people it tastes incredibly salty. We have similar ingredients in the uk just different cooking methods . What is the difference between broiling and grilling please ? To me a broiler is an older chicken needing longer slower cooking .

[@felicitywoodruffe4087]

Your mashed potatoes looked so good .my friend is French and they heat the milk before adding to the potatoes, I add cold milk to mine . And cheese is very pricey so if I cook with cheese it's usually the main Ingredient as in cauliflower cheese

I peel celery for say a veggie platter. Makes it easier for guests to eat. But for cooking or fine dice, I haven't peeled it.

It also removes the latex aspect from the celery.

[@yarnkelly3606]

You’re amazing Becky! The fact that you stuck to the pantry challenge when you didn’t have running water is admirable.

[@dirttodreams]

Yes! It makes the celery so tender! We call it destringing in my house.

[@beadwright]

We add pecan pieces and grapes in summer to our chicken salad, fresh dill is good too. My freezer door was left open, so I get to do that.....

[@dirttodreams]

@@beadwright yes, I add pecans and cranberries or grapes to my chicken salad as well. So yummy! Sorry your freezer door was left open but enjoy the chicken salad.

[@robinvarnadoe8429]

Becky that is the only way I will eat celery is to de-string it, I can not stand the strings, I also slice it down the center before chopping to make it smaller pieces. a texture thing with me lol. I need to make bread also, thanks for the reminder.

Love the videos Becky! When the world gets a little too much, you feel like a safe haven. You know what is almost as good? The chickens! I miss seeing the girls. Can’t wait until spring and new chickens. So sweet of you to give the older girls a break and an awesome retirement.

[@lynhanna917]

I find celery very bitter and it helps when you peel it so i use a potato peeler. It works surprisingly well. Very glad to see you finally have water! The longest duration i was without was five days. I had a bathtub of water for flushing and a camping porta potty but you don't realize how often you turn a tap during a day until you do and nothing comes out

[@kayemcmullen]

I’m Australian and lived on a property that caught rain-water in tanks. Over the course of two long, very hot years we ran out of water and had to buy a tanker of water. We were so upset having town-water in our beautiful tanks. You guessed it! Rained unexpectedly for almost three weeks the day after the town-water was pumped into our tanks. It was nice to have long showers again even if the water tasted like chemicals.🦘🇦🇺

[@TD-izAbxy]

Becky, you made such a great point in one of your videos, several actually, about purchasing high quality really good ingredients, and not purchasing or preserving things unless it's great quality that you excited to use up or eat. I stopped buying store brand all purpose bleached flour and started buying organic unbleached flour. It took me a minute to get over the price difference, and let me tell you the quality of my dinner rolls, cookies, sandwich bread etc IS SO MUCH BETTER!!! I'm a believer. We also started buying grass fed butter and it's night and day to the generic regular old butter. You've opened my eyes to so many things!

[@trishcrr]

Brownie Points for me 😄

[@KatRN1000]

I put items in front of fridge too- for my husband to see what’s what.

[@doveandolive1153]

My mom used to peel the strings off the celery too, I do it if the ribs have a thick string. Becky the bread looks amazing and the comfort meals looked great. Doing pantry challenges helped us notice that we don't need as much as we have stocked and to pay more attention to stuff in the pantry or opened jars in the fridge that should be used up, it's all food we like but don't plan enough around it. Going into February we'll be paying more attention to reducing what we have. Thank you for all the great videos on the 4-week pantry challenge, lots of great ideas.

[@OrganicMommaGA]

Becky, I so enjoy your videos, so thank you for sharing! I was actually surprised you didn't peel your celery that was being eaten raw. LOL I grew up learning that if you cook it, you don't need to peel it, but if it's going to be eaten without cooking the strings are unpleasant to eat. On the whole wheat bread - if you add in a half cup of plain applesauce (unsweetened, no cinnamon) the bread will come out more moist and will rise more like white bread. I believe it's because the applesauce contributes to hydration of the flour. Whenever I'm making bread, I "proof" the yeast by mixing it with about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the warm water in the recipe, a teaspoon of sugar and let it get nice bubbles on the top before adding it to the flour. After just combining it with the dry ingredients and any remaining wet ingredients, allow it to rest about 10 to 15 minutes. Then knead as normal and add flour as kneading, rise as usual. The rest time between mixing and kneading hydrates the flour and helps the gluten awaken so you get that silky dough pretty quickly (at least that's what I've been told).

[@dawndawn6946]

Great work! I am doing a pantry challenge of sorts, and low key failing.😆 I am busy resetting our home and starting seeds, and I just do not want to go grocery shopping. I still have to buy dairy.

i've been freezing mushrooms for a few months now so i just have to grab a handful from the freezer and not have to worry about them going bad.

[@ChelleWestfall]

For my chicken salad, I use celery and red grapes. For the sauce, mayo, lemon juice, and cranberry mustard when I can get it. What takes it over the top is glazed pecans. The acid from the lemon juice breaks down the glaze on the pecans. It's my husband's fave!

[@winpooh-pr8ld]

Cranberry mustard sounds delicious 😋

[@marydenney8249]

So timely! I’ve got to make a bunch of make ahead meals for someone who wife is in the hospital! Thank you!

[@jacquespoulemer3577]

Becky friends and the wandering doggos. When you make bread with 'other' flours (whole wheat pumpernickle rye etc) I find a slow cold rise (in the fridge) works best for taste and texture, usually over night, but it will never rise as much as a white loaf) To find your best personal mix you need to experiment. Since i learned to prepare veggies from julia child I peel whatever I can, Celery, Broccoli, Asparagus, Cauliflower stems. so everything cooks at the same rate. I use all the peelings for soup stock but you do have your Chickens. A bit of wine (any color) would have made the meatballs with the caramelized onions even MORE French. Moving in the Bourgignon galaxy.. Beer would move it to Germany and Eastern Europe. Hugs to everyone Jim Mexico

I’ve always used a vegetable peeler to get the fibers off of the celery.

So glad you have water again!

[@HelenFrost57]

The only regret I have about years in the kitchen…..there was no KZbin when I was your age and I had no Becky to influence my life in general. You are the REAL DEAL Becky! I enjoy your videos with coffee breaks. Thank you for your content. ❤️🙋🏻‍♀️

[@bettypierce8050]

Your videos bring me so much joy. You are an inspiration. The amount you can get done in one day amazes me. I'm 73 so I'm a lot slower than I used to be. When you take us with you as you complete tasks, I feel accomplished too.😁😁😁

I normally do half bread flour and half whole wheat flour. Comes out more fluffy. Also you can freeze your flour.

You did beautiful meals and a great pantry challenge!

[@jeanninewieland277]

Thank you Becky! You truly are a blessing and you bring joy to my heart! I learn great cooking techniques and receive many great meal ideas and recipes from watching you on u your channel. Great days are to come!

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Your kitchen is just so gorgeous!! Always enjoy your cooking videos in your pretty space!! 👩🏻‍🍳🥄🥣🍴

Have you ever taken baking lessons at the King Arthur Flour place near you? We have one here nearby in Vermont and I have just loved the high quality of the classes there. Sounds like something you would also enjoy!

Congrats on getting running water! Were you watching Brenda Gantt in Alabama? She always does the same to her celery.

[@AcreHomestead]

Yes thanks! I couldn't remember her name!

[@FavoritesWithLaura]

New subbie here. My mother always had me peel the celery with a peeler like for potatoes. I'm going to go back and watch your videos about food prep. I love that you went a month without further purchases.❤

[@ennatyler2293]

I did it. It was my first pantry challenge, and I only spent $12.80 for the whole month. Thank you for all your time and ideas. I'm so excited that I'm already thinking about my next one. 😊

You might try apple dices and seedless grapes halved.. i also like to add a few roasted walnuts.

Just wonderful Becky! Fantastic meals! The recipes during this challenge have been great! Glad you are back to having water and I hope we will see the top coat of painting in your seed room.
