I love watching you process your garden rewards and cooking. I’m way older than you so it’s so nice to see the new generation of gardeners snd cooks.

[@marjoriekloster8949]

Agreed! Many of us grew up like this with home grown produce and home cooked meals. Anything pre-made was rare.

[@DeeAnna2021]

We had a baked potato bar for Christmas Eve two years ago where we had chili, bacon, cheese, onions, sour cream and it was delicious! We’ve also done the roast oven full of potatoes to make for baked potatoes for a large crowd . So good and easy!

[@ValerieJohnson-q1x]

The French version of equal parts butter to flour to thicken sauces is called beurre manie.

[@rezaliaw4662]

Hi Becky! The technique you were referring to is a beurre manie. It is very useful, especially if you’ve already added a thicker but find you need more.

[@nicoletaylor5871]

Thank you, I’ve looked that up and made some notes, I think I’d prefer this over a cornflour slurry in most situations so will definitely be trying it out

[@allisonjackson1994]

I made your pumpkin bake pasta from your recent video last night. IT WAS AMAZING thank you!

[@charlottecarelse870]

Hi Becky and Acre friends, it's summer this side but i still love and adapt the recipe you share with is , thanks a million 🎉❤😊

[@JoanOneal]

Hi Becky I so enjoy your videos! I’m learning so much .God bless you and your. Thank you Becky

[@Tina-Bombina]

Thank you Becky. You help me so much! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. You should have a TV show with your lovely Mum 🌺 Thank you, from the United Kingdom 🌺

[@patfaulkner1938]

I’m coming to live with you and Josh, Becky. What a lovely, wholesome life you have 😊

[@DawnWebb007]

When I was a kid, my mother used to make grilled peanut butter and dill pickle sandwhiches. Amazing!

[@rebeccatarasenko6046]

Good morning Becky and family. May God bless you all. With love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@Universalbeing24]

I think my new favorite season is Fall, because I know it’s “slow-cooker season”. Like, every week 😂.

[@maryalber7527]

Yes please on the sandwich series

[@helenswanson1403]

My neighbor brought 7 pumpkins. I will reward him with pumpkin bread and some for his freezer. I know how to possess them. He shared and I want to give back.

Crockpot "baked" potatoes are AMAZING!! One of my FAVORITE ways to do potatoes.❤

[@filby3213]

I just tried that for the first time a couple day's ago after finding the "recipe" in a crock pot recipe book. So much easier 😅 ~Rhonda in Utah 💐

[@sarahfreeland23]

Love slow cooker videos! Putting the Cuban sandos on the menu for next week. Can’t wait!

[@shesatitagain234]

88° here in central Arkansas today so I plugged my slow cooker in out in the sunroom so it wouldn’t fight my air conditioner. Next month the slow cooker will be a nice heat source for INSIDE cooking! 🍁

[@sharipitts324]

Hi everyone! Hi Miss Becky! I’m ready and needing some comfort fall recipes! Thank you, my dear!😊

[@Bananananapancake]

Yayyy good morning Becky I was just wondering what I could meal prep for work this week when I got this notification. I’m sure these will be great

[@Cyndimrktorres]

Doing chores with Becky while I have my airpods is the best. I always go back and watch again. 😌

[@Cookingwithapril]

These are some amazing recipes. Thank you so much Becky. Hello Acre Friends. ❤❤❤

Your salsa Verde look so good! I bought 5 pie pumpkins today. Going to make my own puree. Those tomatoes are beautiful!

[@sharonanderson346]

I'm with on the fat! It has to go!😁

Happy Saturday

Another great way to have chili is to make an omelette with cheese and top it with the chili, makes for a delicious breakfast for dinner. I serve mine with a side of buttered toast. Thank you for the delicious recipes.

[@TD-izAbxy]

Yay! I'm so happy a new Acre Homestead video is up, need a little afternoon pick me up!

[@kristalburns3490]

Fun tip: to get more flavor out of your garlic powder add a little water to a small amount and let it rehydrate before putting it in your recipe. Be cautious though, it is really potent.

[@tammyf8921]

Thank you.

[@latanyam.267]

I just recently had a grilled PB&J, too!! I was like 🤯I had no idea the small change to the bread would level up this simple sandwich!!

[@jaydee5022]

I'm on team beurre manié😊. If you want to thicken the sauce in your slow cooker, once it's been cooking for several hours you can put the pot on high and leave the lid ajar for the last 1/2 hour. I usually put the extractor on as it does make steam but it stops the sauce being too watery. I also have a suggestion for people who prefer to cook without wine - as you said add a bit of extra broth but add a couple of tablespoons of wine, sherry or apple cider vinegar. Make sure it gets right up to a fierce boil for a couple of minutes to take off the acidity. If you like things a bit sweet balsamic vinegar might be good. The vinegar adds the extra depth of flavour that wine gives. I do this often if I don't want to open a whole bottle of wine.

[@kindnessrules3885]

I’d take some of the ham pieces and put them in the slow cooker the last thirty minutes so it’s warm and it breaks it down more so the texture matched.

[@leisaann]

Hi Becky, hi Friends 🎉 Becky, I'm enjoying these videos, thank you.

[@Mimisfamilytable]

She was referring to a beurre manie.A roux is cooked butter and flour, a beurre manie is flour mixed into softened butter to thicken a sauce. Same ingredients, different application. Becky these recipes look so good!

[@debihurd9801]

There used to be a restaurant in Westwood, near the UCLA campus called Jerry’s who made the best grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwich. When my husband was undergoing treatment at UCLA Medical Center it was my sneak away for a break from their cafeteria, which wasn’t a bad place to eat either… I’d never heard of or tried a grilled PB&J prior to eating theirs, Life changing! I’ve made it many times since then, both as a lunch, dinner or a late night snack. Grilled Nutella is also a home run snack! So yummy 😋

[@carolynparker7007]

O love the way you can" give yourself the gift". I never think about those things as a gift, but they really are. A way to love yourself. It totally changes your take on it. These look like great recipes. Thank you

[@jansly1380]

Butter & flour to thicken is a roux. I’ve recently discovered adding flour to sour cream and it’s great.

[@debbiegradowski9885]

Thank YOU SO MUCH!!! I suddenly couldn’t think of it either so I thought I’d check comments or it was going to drive me insane! 🤣 Have a great day!

[@joyperrin4275]

Buerre Manie maybe

[@debbiee1073]

Yes, a roux

[@dawncater5563]

I recently found out that you can also use a few tablespoons of Instant Mashed Potatoes as a thickener as well. It works well for me!

[@carolynrandle5454]

Save your broth

[@bethlewis9981]

If you like a crispy crunchy sandwich nothing beats a grilled cheese made in the air fryer!

[@debbiee1073]

I recently saw a video from either America's Test Ktchen or Cook's Country where they did a Cuban sandwich. The person who presented it a tually went to research it in Florida (I think) where it is popular. You could look it up on KZbin because that is where I found it.

[@nicoletaylor5871]

I’m Australian, I asked a similar question about Italian sausage on another channel and got a similar answer. I’ve managed to find Italian sausage in some specialty places but it’s a lot more expensive that most of the meat I would usually buy, so I’ve found a recipe to season ground (minced) pork myself to keep the price down and try some of the recipes using Italian sausage I’ve seen here and on other channels/websites. The one I’m going to try is on Allrecipes, but I’m sure there are others and people can tweak the seasonings to their taste of course

[@beepee31]

As an Australian I will do the same as you! Thanks for the inspiration

[@clarissaflowers6200]

Slow cooker season, HOORAY!! Thank you for sharing these recipes. Your pink flowers in the background are very pretty!

[@lisedrapeau6397]

Hi Becky, beurre manié is the name ,thank you for your vidéos, i love it

[@annettemitchell2485]

Instead of ground beef, cut up a Chuck roast into cubes and use that for beef stroganoff. I have to tell you.. I’m addicted to your channel.

From the land of the Cuban sandwich: it’s on Cuban bread (like French bread with a softer crust) and yellow mustard. The outside is buttered and put on a sandwich press. Yum. Also grilled pbj is awesome

[@ashleymendoza28]

The first grilled pb&j I had was at a bbq restaurant in NC. It was amazing! They are delicious!

[@butterflylady7659]

Sometimes flour and butter mix to thicken soups/ stews is called a Roux

[@johanneboudreault6720]

A roux is butter cooked with flour… butter mixed with flour is beurre manié

[@aimeehodgin6359]

YUMMY!!! Notably the Cuban Sammie!! I usually get paper thin ham from our amazing Food City Deli. (Food City is in AZ, some stores change names in other states) Awesome!!! I am here for all! Amazing ASMR throughout!!! Hahahahahaha! ✌🏻

Hi! I am not a vegan or a vegeterian, we eat meat 2-3 times a week.But not every day. Can you suggest some recepies without meat, or cheese or cream, its not healthy eating those daily. Please don't get me wrong, you are my favourite, I have made some of your recepies, and I love your cooking.

Years ago, when pregnant, I craved grilled peanut butter and chocolate chip sandwiches. Yummy!

[@stephaniezeuli]

In the winter we make beef stroganoff with mushrooms. In the summer we make chicken stroganoff with cream of chicken instead of cream of mushroom, and corn instead of mushrooms. It’s a nice change to the traditional stroganoff!

[@pattybedolla5610]

[@barbaragarvin6251]

I LOVE a Cuban sandwich. I also live in AZ. We add jalapeños to our Cubans. 😋🥰

[@janetjordan6208]

PB&J with bananas is also good. You. Can also make baked potatoes in your air fryer and inside of potato is so fluffy and good. Prep same as you did for slow cooker except wrap in foil and cook about an hour or until done. If you have any left over, put in refrigerator and next day cut them up with skins on or off and fry them. My Mom used to make extra baked potatoes so she could fry next morning with our breakfast. They are so delicious. You can eat them with most anything.

[@Mandachu85]

The flour butter mix is called beurre manié

[@chapativsmcd]

Yayyy Becky!! 🌹😽

[@LilCraftyNook]

The word you’re looking for is “roux”. I had never heard of using sour cream instead of butter,tho, yum!! (I was totally blown away by all the meat you got from just half a cow!!)

[@jacquiemouton9053]

Beurre Manie is the term you are looking for I think. To thicken and make the sauce glossy.

Hi Becky I love your recipes. You know with all your vegs you should make sophrito and can can it. It is a great flavor to food especially mexican and peurtorican food. I have freeze dried as well and its delicious to sprinkle in food.

[@elliediaz6667]

Hi! I usually love your channel and your recipes are awesome. However I am Cuban and I have to point out a few things: you didn't really make a "Cuban sandwich" what you made was a modified PULLED PORK pork sandwich. A traditional Cuban sandwich requires ROASTED PORK that gets thinly sliced and put together with tavern ham slices. The rest of your recipe is pretty on point. I would only suggest mixing equal parts of orange and lime/lemon juices. Most importantly, to roast the pork is not necessary to pour the juice over the pork as it roasts. The juice should be injected into the raw meat and allowed to marinate overnight. You shouldn't need thinner ham if you use roasted, sliced pork.

[@olivy217]

I’m still waiting for fall weather 😩😩😩 it’s still 100 degrees where I live

[@pamelaroden5513]

I had Cuban sandwiches, and I can tell you yours looked and probably tasted way better.

[@Indigosoul127]

Hell no

[@GlendaCrowe]

Your recipe list says Cuban Beef Sandwiches, but you used a pork roast. Could you use a beef roast? Is pork more typical?

[@Indigosoul127]

Yes, Pork is the traditional but as a Cuban it will not be a bad idea trying with beef. No orange juice plz, use sour orange, if not found use Cuban mojo found in most stores or Hispanic stores.

[@kajolaggarwal4]

How about try canning or freezing cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup

[@aletheawalters8100]

Next time if you haven’t tried it yet or not. Spread a very lite layer of mayonnaise on your bread instead of butter. It have a salty buttery fried flavor. It important not to use to much mayo because it makes it to oily and odd flavor.

[@agnesdupont958]

It is a Roux in french

[@carolklein9499]

What could you use that is non dairy in place of the sour cream? Can you use olive oil?
