Grilled peaches: cut them in half and remove the pit. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with brown sugar. Grill it for a few minutes until browned and caramelized, then serve hot with a scoop of Tillamook vanilla ice cream inside the peach. So yum.

The absolutely best way of cleaning greens straight from the garden I’ve found over the years is get a large bowl and fill with your greens sprinkled a large tablespoon of sea salt on top and cover with water for ½ hour or even overnight if you can’t get to it, it will stay bright and fresh in the water. Rinse and dry in a salad spinner. I pick for the week and store dried salad leaves in a ziplock bag. It keeps really well for the week. The salt kills the bugs and they float down to the bottom of your bowl.

[@daniellejones2027]

best advice I have ever followed. buy a notebook or planner. write everything down. it is a life changer and I finally feel so much more put together. I think that would help you tremendously in this busy season of life.

[@julsg123]

I love the OXO salad spinner! I was gifted one like 15 years ago and it is still spinning! I wash my home grown lettuce 3-4 times by filling the salad spinner with water and dumping it out, repeat several times then spin it dry.

[@greenacresbloom]

I love the OXO too.

[@kay.hthrkc9302]

When washing my veggies and salad I use a small amount of white vinegar to clean any further bacteria on my veggies…in my OXO salad spinner … love this salad spinner

[@mumighisolfo]

Grilled stuffed portobello Mushrooms: remove the stalk and fill with caramelised onions (raw onions work well in a pinch) and top with blue cheese. Super hot grill and when the cheese melts you take them off. They are a game changer and SO simple!

[@kaylynbroussard4122]

One thing I've noticed my husband do when he grills chicken or pork, he takes an empty soda can and rinses it out well and then fills it with water. It creates steam to keep your meat from drying out 😊

[@angelarae1278]

Becky, for the grill this summer, try a Moroccan-inspired meal. Grill bone-in chicken, seasoned with a spice mix of salt, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, and hot paprika. Throw on sliced eggplant, zucchini, red bell pepper and onion (or any fresh veg you like), tossed with olive oil, S&P, and oregano. Bring homemade chicken stock to a simmer to cook couscous. And throw in dried fruit (raisins, diced prunes or apricots) and toasted, slivered almonds when you fluff it with a fork. Put it all on a platter, and drizzle it with warmed honey. Trust me, it sounds unusual, but it's a crowd favorite!

[@kimj4064]

Bone in chicken is the way to go. Love BBQ on with the skin on. It get the skin so crisp. I only put the BBQ sauce on the chicken for the last few minutes it's grilling. Best way to clean BBQ sauce off the grill burn it off so it's easier to scrape clean.

[@sandyarcher8104]

Sounds delicious

[@kittychronister3537]

That sounds amazing!

[@tammyr2966]

That sounds fantastic! Delicious! Going to make that!

[@angelarae1278]

It's also really delicious with bites of chicken breast cooked/stewed in a large skillet (with a lid) with the dried fruit, veggies, honey and chicken stock. Thicken with a slurry as needed, serve over couscous or quinoa, and sprinkle toasted almonds at the end!

[@maliaw8392]

Frog Mats are a game changer for grilling things that don’t like to not fall between the grates, and will still give you grill marks through the Frog Mat! Onions, peppers, Brussels sprouts, pineapple, pizzas. And corn in the husks and silks, soaked in a bucket of water for a half hour or so, then grill them in the husks and the water steams the corn and the husks and silks come right off!

Grilled potato slices: place slices of potatoes on oiled heavy duty foil. Make layers seasoned with season salt, cheddar and bacon bits. Fold over foil to make a pouch. Cook directly on the grill. Once done dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of chives finishes it off. It is a great hit with the family.

[@lunayahmoonbeams]

I’d be grabbing some of those gorgeous strawberries you’re growing and add them into your salad❤️

[@aprilninthr2886]

Hi Becky. Oh my goodness. In my experience,everything went on the grill in the summer. All kinds of vegetables, mixed grill of meats, clams, oysters for a party. Peaches halved with grilled with honey and served with ice cream. Put a whole eggplant on the grill. Poke some holes with a fork in it so it doesn’t explode. Scoop it out and serve with sour cream or whipped feta or slice it and grill it with olive oil, s&p, garlic, parsley. You’ll figure it out. You’re already there. Such a joy to watch.

[@CMBrown-oo1fr]

Becky, I’m a fairly new subscriber, and I just want to say THANK YOU for keeping what some consider “bloopers” in your videos! You come across as so REAL, and I appreciate it! It’s not like watching a tv show, it’s like hanging out with a friend when I’m watching your videos.

[@AcreHomestead]

Thank you!

[@jenniferr2057]

There's a trick to the onions thick slabs, coated and oil and salted, and then only turn them once. And they're fabulous.

[@talisman8402]

To grill onions, you can put them on skewers so they hold together to flip them. That saves having to clean a veggie tray/grate later on. If using wooden skewers, remember to soak them in water for 20-30 minutes first. Love you!!!

[@sandraadams4175]

@Talisman great idea.. I use 2 skewers so the food doesnt spin around the skewer.

[@robynm7221]

@@sandraadams4175 Works great 👍!

[@southgeorgiagal8099]

Great idea

[@taurinice]

I put a little foil down on the grill spray or oil n lay down the onion..no falling and quick clean up :)

[@bkbrp64]

Skewer FIRST and then slice between the skewer :)

[@tgib9140]

Try salting the zucchini before grilling to start the sweating process, then grill. When done place them on a dish and drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Let marinade on the counter while you cook the meat or whatever main dish you’ll be having. So good the next day and something you can add to a pasta salad with fresh peas, roasted corn (on the bbq) and leftover steak, chicken or salmon (done them all and all delicious, plus using up those leftovers). We do the exact thing you’ve been doing with your grill when finish. Turn on high and let everything burn off, scrape and done.

[@pamskidmore6118]

I’ve found with my cast iron grates, they stay seasoned better if I leave the grease on and then heat it up and clean it when I go to used it the next time.

[@jmanuo87]

We use a cut onion to clean our grill! We do our best to give it a good scrape down after we cook while it's hot. Then when we start it up for the next time, cut an onion in half, stick it with a big bbq fork and just run it on the grill. clean and tasty :)

[@michelleday6876]

Similarly, I use the onion to oil the grates before adding the meat. Then I leave the onion on the grill to cook. Delicious.

[@cynthiapm8149]

I was going to recommend the same. Onion to clean grill. We grill skirt steak. We marinate it for few hours with Goya Mojo Crillo marinade (you can make your own). The longer you marinate the more tender the meat. Use your burner to make baked beans. We do baked drunken beans. You add fresh pico de gallo (jalapeños, cilantro, tomatoes, onions, garlic and a splash of lemon juice), bacon and one can of your favorite beer. Mexican corn. Grill corn on the cob add butter, mayo, cotija cheese, cayenne or chipotle ground pepper, and a squeeze of lemon.

[@listen_linda]

That’s what I do!

[@pamelaguardado5424]

Same!

[@amandawilder7353]

My latino husband does the onion thing too, ive asked him to stop wasting so much of my vidalias, but very tasty food for a little bit of onion rubbing.

[@jenniferdruery8661]

I heard from a professional chef when using a grill to not close the top when grilling most items. He said closing the top will create an oven which is no different than using the kitchen oven. I’m not a grill master but it sort of makes sense. I’m still experimenting myself after hearing this. Thanks for sharing Becky!

[@kimiwaffles]

My biggest grilling and cooking tip in general is to use a meat thermometer. Everything ends up perfectly cooked every time and nothing is ever over cooked!

Hi Becky! I have been watching since the early days. What I love the most, and we have in common, is home grown and homemade. Family is the most important thing,and after raising 4 of my own, GOOD FOOD keeps the family close. We always sit for at least one meal a day. Get a salad spinner for the lettuce and I always wash mine a few times as well. I love that you have found your forever home and am excited to see you shape it into what you dream of.

Happy cooking and baking, Debbie (68 years young)

[@krussell9995]

Cabbage steaks are fantastic grilled! I would recommend getting a grill sheet since cabbage can get kinda messy and set it on the grill when you light it. Slice cabbage into "steaks" about 3/4" to 1" thick and cut out the core part. Brush with a neutral oil and season with salt, pepper and paprika or red pepper flakes on both sides. Grill on med-high for about 4-8 minutes per side. You can add balsamic vinegar or everything bagel seasoning before grilling also, so good. Top with butter for a simple side dish or you can add bacon bits, parmesan, blue cheese, green onion, or parsley.

[@saltandlight8111]

Cabbage steaks are amazing! Great recommendation. I think she and Josh would love them

[@sandyarcher8104]

These are so good

[@JustTheilogsAdventures]

Cabbage steaks sounds great! I'll try that.

[@crazylicious85]

One of my favorite grill recipes: In foil sheet (good sized so you can close it up) put a few slices of butter, onion, slice of uncooked bacon, Cabbage wedge (not too big - so it cooks faster) & season salt. Now fold up edges to make it a foil pouch, then wrap again if needed with more foil so it won’t leak on grill. We usually make 5 or 6 of these. Put the cabbage foil pouches on grill & cook until done to your liking! The more cabbage you put in them the longer they take. I prefer my cabbage well cooked with burnt spots when grilling these. It’s so dang good!

[@marijkevandeneijnden8971]

Hi CrazyD! Sounds delicious! How long does the cabbage take before it is to your liking? Approximately how many minutes? I am to new to the grilling. Tnxxx!!

[@crazylicious85]

@@marijkevandeneijnden8971 sometimes it takes a good amount of time…30 mins maybe? It’s been a long time since we’ve done them because our grill is at my mom’s until we can rent a truck to get it. Basically when the foil darkens if I remember correctly. & you can flip them as long as they are closed very well.

[@amyreid9649]

Something about those darker brown spots on cabbage. I do this but on the stove with butter and cabbage in my cast iron. Sooooooo good!

[@ghlmm5863]

You need to season the grill with oil and let it smoke before cooking. It will prevent rusting and also make a nonstick surface

Korean BBQ Galbi and bulgogi are some of my favorite grilled meats. Especially if you season the hot grill by scrubbing it with half an onion before grilling the marinated meat. Fire roasting eggplant for baba ganouche is the way to go, though I know you already enjoy salsa. Fire roast those ingredients first for a bold smoky flavor of summer canned for winter (Nobody can stop you from grilling in the winter time either ). I would recommend getting a huge 5 + gallon salad spinner since you are a fan of bulk prepping and have a green thumb. I am so happy for your successes! Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@loribillings3810]

Having a temperature probe for your grilling I find is very helpful not to over cook your meats. I have a struggle knowing when the meats done and not over cooked. I think all your marinated meats are going to grill up nicely. I'm taking tips from you girl 😊 Make sure your grill is catching the grease so it doesn't damage your patio.

[@judybeckner6559]

Don’t forget to empty your grease catcher.

[@rentedspace7462]

Adding paper/ cardboard kitty litter to grease trays can also help to soak up that oil. And makes it easier to clean the grease trap at the end also. Also helps to prevent pests coming to eat the grease.

In Italy I would buy my Pizza dough from the baker and make grilled pizza and calzones! I reccomend a flat top grill grate to add to your grill. My husband just refurbed my grill with new burners and grates. I have 2/3 grates and 1/3 flat top. I saved the third grate and can switch it out if I need grates for a crowd. Also you can usually buy a rotisserie motor for your grill as well. Lots of fun stuff.

You need to call your mom for some tips. That big grill for two hamburgers and two slices of onion made me cry.

Try to incorporate things so you can have extras so Josh can take them to work for lunch. You go girl you got this 👍🏼P.S. I have 2 tips for you. 1) Hang a sign to remind you to shut off your propane. It will slow leak until it's gone. 2) Have 2 filled Propane tanks so you don't run out of fuel in the middle of a cook out or have to run for a refill before you have a big cook out.😊

I love making pizza on the grill! We did it last week for our Friday night pizza night. I use homemade dough, roll it out to the perfect size, let the dough cook on one side for maybe 5 minutes (check for done-ness), flip and add your toppings, then cook the other side under crust is cooked and cheese is melty.

It's fun to watch you and Josh get your new house ready. For oiling and seasoning veggies for roasting or grilling, toss everything in a gallon baggie. it takes no time at all to coat the veggies, and you use less oil. Your hands stay clean too! For cleaning the grill, you really can't beat a wire brush. Before you put items on the hot grill, put some oil on a folded paper towel. Then wipe the grill with the towel using tongs. Less stick and mess to clean afterward.

On your new grill pan, grill green beans, onion, and bell pepper, grill a cob of corn cut is off the cob and toss them all in a bowl with fresh herbs. Yum!

Hi Becky! I use a Weber too and I am a loyal user of the card that came with it showing cook times for different meats. It is very accurate and helpful when you’re new to grilling.

[@cgoodwin5928]

I don't have a grill, but my parents love to grill and use a copper grill mat (flexible...almost like a silicone/Silpat baking mat) to keep veggies, shrimp, etc from falling through the grates. It's super easy to clean off in the sink and saves a ton of time and frustration :) Happy grilling!!

[@sheastephens5]

I always clean the grill as soon as I’m finished cooking. Makes it easier for clean up while grill is still warm and you don’t get build up on burners.😻🌺🇨🇦

Thanks for this video. Having a hard day with the state of affairs ( I am a history teacher so many things “affecting” me) and was sooo happy to see you posted a video to cheer me up!

Omg literally same to all

Hang in there! I hope you’re doing well

[@ambervlasnik7480]

We love those pickles too! We keep the brine and keep adding cucumbers as they come in from the garden.

[@wingandaprayer7777]

What a beautiful view you have to enjoy during your well deserved dinner! We love you guys and thank you for sharing some of your day(s) with us even when you both are so terribly busy! I keep looking at the color swatches on the wall as you are speaking and I simply love the top left corner color! SOOO soothing! Enjoy the rest of your week! God bless!

[@Dyannitas27]

If you get a pan to do veggies on the grill measure your grill first! I bought one that's too big for our grill 😥 We have done bell peppers, onions, zucchini, yellow squash, sweet potatoes, and corn on the grill so far! so yummy!

[@katrinaavila3859]

Grilled eggplant is my absolute favorite summer treat! Remove the skins and cut into rounds, season with salt & pepper, and douse with a LOT of olive oil. Grill until tender and a little caramelized. It’s delish!

[@lindatilleym2058]

I love grilled or roasted corn on the cob. Just rub with a little olive oil and sprinkle on sat and pepper. Just grill until starting to brown a little. No butter needed as the olive oil is enough.. love your channel and have been watching for a while. Love all you freezer meals and your gardening. So great that you are sharing the progress on the new house, and what a beautiful view you have to sit and eat your meals and relax. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

To clean your grill, you can also use a half onion on the preheated surface. It cleans the surface well and adds a subtle flavor to whatever you cook.

From Australia, our Weber gets used six days a week year around. If I plan correctly, I find I can harvest my herbs and kale, wash thoroughly then salad spin dry, the put in an aluminium baking tray, and after the grill has been used, put the greens in the Weber to dry out and make dried greens using the residual heat, works best in winter when there are fewer insects in the Italian flat-leaf parsley. Love your vlog Becky, you are really switched on!

[@elondamontanye5706]

That set if grill baskets you saw at Costco, for veggies and especially the onions! I love mine, it's a game changer!

[@christicepeda1264]

Elonda, any pointers on how to actually use the baskets in the grill?

[@elondamontanye5706]

I used mine to make fajita veggies. I used grilling non-stick spray, put my veggies on the tray, which I put on the grill first, got it hot, then added my veggies. I sauteed on the basket, basically. Cooked chicken thighs and shrimp on grill, then added to other preheated grill pan, to serve warm.

[@veevee111]

Recipes: I like to make breakfast on the grill with a cast iron griddle heated for frying eggs and bacon wrapped in parchment paper and then wrapped in foil to prevent the paper from burning AND to contain the mess. Also, I'll reserve the bacon grease for future use. Pizza and calzones on the grill rocks. Lasagna in a casserole pan on the grill is better than heating up an oven indoors, same for Mac n cheese.

[@MISNM0]

Nice!

[@KatyInNH]

I am intrigued by your comment…. Do you mean you put the bacon and eggs in the parchment paper and foil itself? Are you baking them like a foil dinner? Or do you mean you cook the eggs on the griddle and wrap the bacon separately and sort of bake it on the griddle! Thanks- I camp a lot and am always looking for new strategies Thanks!

[@lisaboylan2912]

I love how you refer to it as "the grill, i am going to grill!" In Canada (at least where I live) , we always use "bbq, i am going to bbq some chicken, etc" Recently found your channel and I have been enjoying it!! :)

[@Gonetomars]

Same in the UK :-) For us, a grill is what you call a broiler in the US, with the flame above.

[@Joannepaq1025]

That’s great, I cut my cable a year ago and do NOT miss or regret it at all!! It doesn’t connect us to one another, it only puts a wedge between us. Enjoy one another in the beauty we are given in creation.

[@pattibrotz3684]

I always pre cook the brats in beer and onions on the stovetop then grill out. That way the brats don’t cook so much on the outside and are possibly uncooked in the middle. They are so good! Have fun with the new grill and of course the new house!🌭🏠

[@poodlegirl55]

It keeps the flames down too.

[@robertlavigne6560]

Hobo packages. Cube potatoes, carrots and onions. Season with salt and pepper and toss together. Divide the ingredients into individual foil packets topping your vegetables with a pat of butter. Seal up the packets and put them on the top grill shelf. (If you put them on the bottom grill shelf they'll burn before they are cooked) close the grill and cook for about 30-45 minutes they're done when vegetables are fork tender.

Congratulations on your dream home!! I just relocated and got into my new apartment. I'm having a little "grill/pantry envy". I love new beginnings; enjoy!

They have air fryers with a grill for indoor grilling, i got one for my son to use at his apt

[@anushripatil2590]

Hey Becky, you can try a sun oven on your new property. It's a great way to cook meals and now that you have acces to so much sunlight it would be great

[@NikkiMatthews23]

Hi Becky! I just started eating those pickles myself. I wanted to share a tip from when I was introduced to them. Get some cucumbers and slice them up and put them in the juice when you finish the pickles. It's so good! Even just a couple of hours later.

[@randomharts]

OXO is my favorite salad spinner! I love the largest one🥰

Becky, we went shopping last night and I told hubby that we are not purchasing grated cheese any more, I am going to grate blocks of cheese after I watched your many videos talking about what they put on grated cheese to stop it clumping. He was all for it... I'm excited to make this little change. I also purchased some apple sauce, never had it before so I can put in my next baked oatmeal. I love watching your videos, I'm learning so much.

[@rachellelemke4091]

I recently started playing on our grill. I LOVE grilled veggies! And my husband doesn't really, so he never grills them. A really wonderful marinade I did recently (sorry, I don't recall where I got the recipe): 1/4c (42.5ml) Lemon Juice, 1/6C. (42.5ml EVOO, 1 tsp white sugar, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/4 tsp Salt & Pepper, 1/4 tsp basil, parley, oregano & thyme, 1/4 tsp chili flakes if you like spice. Marinate for a couple of hours & grill. It was delicious. Fabulous for salads the next day (I think I did Zucchini, red pepper and onion). I've been sous-viding my chicken (in marinade) to 158degrees F (I am a microbiologist, I take no chances on food pathogens). I then sear both sides on the grill to 165 F. My current favorite marinade for chicken is: 2# chicken, 1/3 - 1/2 C EVOO, 3 TBS fresh lemon juice, 3 TBS Soy sauce, 2 TBS Balsamic vinegar, 1/4 C brown sugar, 1 TBS Worcestershire sauce, 3 cloves minced garlic (or 1/2 tsp powder), 1.5 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper. I also threw in some red onions. I loved the sweet/ sour taste of it, though, it was a bit much soy sauce for me. After I marinade/ sous vide it, I cooked the marinade into a lovely sauce.

[@chermp6787]

Grilling side dish suggestion -- Romaine Hearts sliced lengthwise, in half, sprinkle garlic between the leaves and drizzle olive oil on cut side - then put cutside down on the grill for a couple minutes to get some char. Remove and eat as a warm salad on the side! (Don't have to chop it up, just take bites as each should still be intact:) Edit: sprinkle with salt after too

[@louisemiller8643]

Hi Becky, I absolutely love, love, love watching your videos. You are such an inspiration to me. I used to can a lot of things when I was in my 20-30s. Then for some reason I stopped. You have inspired me to start again, I can't get enough of your videos. The only freezer meals that I have done, is hamburgers and meatballs. They freeze so well and you can make a ton at once. I usually do a large bowl of thawed burger and add in whatever I feel like. Generally onions(minced), garlic, eggs, oatmeal, salt, pepper, and spices. Then after it's all mixed up, I use a fork and a Canning ring. I press the meat tightly into the ring, leveling with the top, and you get a perfect burger. If you use large mouth, they are bigger and gem rings are fatter. Then I push them out onto a plate and freeze in a container, with waxed paper between the layers. You can take out one or two or cook them all. Thought I would pass that on. For the meatballs, I love cooking them for about 20min in the oven and add to spaghetti, or sweet and sour meatballs.

[@christawright2685]

I absolutely love that big kitchen window over your sink, I have just a regular, I guess 36inch or so window, and I've always kept a close eye on my children playing in the back yard, Ive watch them all playing/growing almost 20 years of memories.
