Happy Valentines day!!!! I hope u have a great evening!❤❤

Who needs to go to a 5 star restaurant when you can provide quality dinners like that at home. Your family & friends are blessed to enjoy your skillset. 🙌🏽

[@lovepugs05]

I agree

[@jackieeg]

I only eat out when it is something I would not be able to make myself.

[@makingMyHouseaHome412]

Me! I want to go out to enjoy a dinner.

[@tamararoberts9307]

I totally agree! And a beautiful table setting 😍

[@emilioincerto]

Sad that people have to leave their home to eat a strangers food.

I am a 71 years old lady and I cook since I was 13. It is a pleasure Watch you cooking. I am from Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL.

It is hot in Rio right now ! I lived in Brazil for almost 2 years 42 years ago! Deus abençoe voçe!

[@susieyarbrough9845]

What we love about Becky is her Realness! I am flabbergasted at how many people are nitpicking her lovely dinner and table setting. This is why people are afraid to entertain! I would fly across country from Texas to Washington State to share this gorgeous dinner with Becky! THANK YOU BECKY for sharing your life and vast knowledge with us. None of us know every single thing perfectly and showing us your realness is why your channel is so loved and successful! ❤ Please keep it up!

[@mybackyardhomestead144]

Becky, have you ever tried zesting your citrus the opposite way? Rather than having your lemon on top of your zester, bring your zester to the top of the lemon and turn it over so that the blades are touching the lemon and the non-sharp side is facing upward. Not only can you see exactly where you need to zest next, all of the zest is collected on the zester and it does not fall until you are ready to turn it over and tap it into the bowl. This has been a game changer for me! I actually zest more efficiently because I don’t have to keep lifting the lemon up to see where to zest next. I have complete control over dragging the zester across the next area on the lemon.

[@robynstacey9959]

Becky, I'm laying in bed after gallbladder surgery and I'm watching many of your podcasts. Love them. It's making me hungry..lol❤

[@katescaringcorner6765]

I absolutely LOVE it when your smiling face pops on when i open KZbin!😊

[@AcreHomestead]

😊 thank you

[@CrisBayless]

Becky, my husband and I got married in April 2021 and we also decorated with baby's breath but we added eucalyptus like you did here with some soft pink and red flowers for a little color. I've thought recently after seeing such beautiful wedding flower arrangements that maybe I should've done something more but you saying you still thought your tablescapes we're beautiful really gave me peace about my decision and also reminded me that just because I didn't do exactly what lots of other people did didn't mean that I was wrong or picked something ugly. I so enjoy your company and can't wait to watch your seed video!

[@larsen8059]

You never fail to impress me with how you manage to pull together these beautiful full course meals! You're quite an inspiration!

[@kristinbray6453]

Hey sweet friend, Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes and your culinary wisdom. I was diagnosed with metastatic cancer and watching your vlogs brings me so much joy in my heart. Sending blessings to you and your beautiful family and your furbabies. Happy Valentine's.

[@debrabaca7151]

An absolute beautiful dinner, Becky! God has blessed you with a beautiful gift & you sure are blessing everyone with it!❤

[@cristina_buca]

Hi! I’m from Romania. It’s a pleasure watching you cook and try your recipes. I want to tell you that a few decades ago, in my birth country, traditionally, the bride’s bouquet it was made from baby’s breath… actually, we call this flower “the bride’s flower”.

[@verashular3116]

I loved the pink tulips in the vases. How do you keep your little boy quiet in the evenings when you are filming without a peep of noise? I know you said during the day you had things covered with people watching him. Love the way this kitchen is laid out. You remind me of my mother and the beautiful garden she used to have. She would love to can and freeze food for my sister and I. She has gone to Heaven now and I miss her terribly. I am sure the grandparents loved the invitation and the great food. So many beautiful memories are made around a table. Happy valentines day to you and your little family.

[@grammyb5216]

Such beautiful memories. Thank you for sharing. My Aunt Lissie always had a garden and a wonderful yard with all different types of plants and flowers. I have the best memories of her and my mother picking and canning. The food that came out of her garden is the best I’ve ever had. Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day and I hope your springtime is filled with Daisies!

[@debbiesearle8442]

Oh Becky this is a great dinner celebration. The only thing I would add would be a raspberry or two on that delicious looking mousse. You have definitely inspired me to fall in love with food and food preparation again. Blessings to you from Australia

[@Beverley-s8i]

Becky I have to say it’s been a privilege to watch your ability and confidence grow over the years. I’ve watched since your very 1st video and it’s been amazing! 😊

[@karennicholson6972]

Ina Garten AND America’s Test Kitchen would BOTH 2 thumbs up you for the espresso powder! I don’t know why the Food Network hasn’t “discovered” you yet … YOU are SO GOOD at teaching everything - cooking 15:31 , gardening, cleaning etc. etc. Maybe we should just be quiet & keep you all to ourselves! I’d watch you over “celebrity” cooks any day. Thank you for your videos which I find so happy & so soothing to watch. Keep on cooking!

[@Elisheba79]

I love that you are not afraid to substitute ingredients when you don’t have a specific ingredient. That dinner looks incredible! Thank you!🌹💕

[@nursenana4430]

Becky! The best gift today (so far), Happy Valentines Day y'all ❤

[@AcreHomestead]

Aw Thanks You! Happy Valentine's Day!

[@shesatitagain234]

For what it’s worth….hope it helps for future projects… 1. Instead of tilting the lit candle, hold the lit candle upright and tilt the UNLIT candle to light it, preventing drips of candle wax on you table. 2. Chill bowl and whisk VERY WELL before making whipped cream. It’ll have LOTS of loft. What a fun vlog and I bet that dinner was fabulous. I’d be ready to go shower and go to bed and let my husband host it by the time the guests arrive. 😂. I’m a fan of having guests join us for lunch or a rather early dinner. As always, well done Becky!

[@esthermaso5001]

So enjoyed your video today. I have a 200 acre farm in California and we have grown 5 acres of Honeynut squash for the past few years. They get gobbled up by restaurants every year. We also grow various colored carrots and gremolata is also great on roasted carrots.

[@HealedandThriving]

Wow! 200 acres! How cool!

[@esthermaso5001]

They do not keep as well as they have a higher sugar content.@@cynthiafisher9907

[@AZJH8374]

Becky, this vid was absolutely the best. Then, to find out it was for all the grandparents, you made me cry!!!!! Can't wait for dad's birthday dinner. Wellington!!! Yum. Last year was stupendous. What l love is that you never overcook your BEEF! So many people make it mid-rare, but when it's done and left to rest, it ends up medium. What a waste. I love you and your family!!

Loving watching our sweet Becky! She’s the REAL DEAL and I for one found her during Covid. When she started her garden. Now, I can’t imagine a day or two OR a holiday without her!! Thanks for all your videos Becky. Keep doing these “for you” and you will be the next Ina one day. ❤️

[@KimbralaKeller]

WOW!!!! I love your channel. It's 2 pm here and EVERY restaurant parking lot is packed full. I would much rather cook at home and create this beautiful dinner. Thank you for the wonderful dishes.

[@jacquelinespooner3311]

I really enjoy watching you cook and prepare food! You are so organized, have a beautiful garden and my favorite, you organize all of your herbs and spices in jars with lids ! I feel so motivated! Keep up the Great work , Mrs .Becky !

[@chris109]

Becky, thank you for all your wonderful recipes, meal ideas, & lovely table decorating skills! You are an amazing woman, & your videos are my very favorite on KZbin!!!

[@zengirl43]

You are just adorable Becky. I’ve been watching you for a year. Your energy is amazing and wish and yours happiness and health 💕

[@Ididitonce]

I hassleback my squash on the other side and it looks amazing for presentation 😊

[@carolinereynolds2032]

I did think the other side would be better.

[@bethlewis9981]

But delicious either way!

[@kathysmith2541]

Becky I probably would have place the squash cut side down. That way the rounded side would be up. Whenever I’ve had Hasselback potatoes, the potato is rounded. Just as observation.

[@wendytaylor1701]

Love this channel been a subscriber since day one, lately I find myself being annoyed at the ads every 2 mins !

[@pennynewell3459]

Happy Valentine’s Day, Becky and all friends here.❤

[@lisal3645]

Those tulips are beautiful! If you will take some tape (preferably floral tape) and put it across the mouth of the jar in a tic tack toe board you can arrange the flowers and greenery in the holes you now have and the flowers in the middle will stay in the middle. It is a prettier arrangement if you put your taller flowers or greenery in the middle and slow reducing the height of your flowers as you go to the edge of the jar.

[@kimlhelzy]

The honey nut squash makes incredible pie. I grew them in 2023 for the first time also. I will be growing them again.

[@debrawichmann5152]

Wonderful meal for Valentines evening! ❤ Personally I loved the pink tulips, pink is a shade of red, not everything has to match, nature has many colors. Enjoy your special time.

[@michelefreitas4762]

I thought the same thing.😊

[@annamschnetzer4036]

Becky, have you thought about putting your cooking herbs in a Green Stalk that can be rolled into the seeding/gardening room when frost/freezing/snow is coming? Could you adjust the grow lights to vertical?

[@pamelaburdick8366]

The tulips looked just fine in the jars, pink is in the red family so they really did go with the red napkins

[@lavernfoy4591]

WOW!! Becky that dinner looks so amazing. Happy Valentine to all the family ❤️💕🥰

I did get a planting tower for Christmas. Can't wait to get it planted.😊

I just got so excited when I saw this video! We make Valentines day a family occasion, we had steaks and wok fried green beans and Sushi we picked up from our favorite place (Steak and Sushi are both our family fave). I was cleaning up the kitchen and yelled it's go time! It's Becky time! It's my favorite time!!! They all just laugh at me 😂 if anyone knows how much I love and appreciate Becky It's my family ❤ Happy Valentines Day!!

[@paula5935]

Such good advice to read through the entire recipe before making it. I had to learn this the hard way. And sometimes I still forget.

[@melindawargowsky8176]

One of my pet peeves is tags on towels. Don’t know why, but every towel laundry load now, I’m snipping them off! Would be good for placemats and cloth napkins, also. The dinner and table scape were fantastic. What a wonderful way to show your love for both families 😊 ❤️

[@brendadodd1075]

Gorgeous table scape and yummy food and family around no better way to say, "I love you" Happy Valentines Day

[@daniellestump8653]

I usually watch your channel on my tv and am not able to comment with it, but LOVE all that your share/ have shared for years. I just "found" you about a month ago and appreciate your teachings/ encouragements so much. Thank you very much!

Oh Becky your food looks so yummy but….. that table looks gorgeous!!!! Happy Valentine’s Day to your beautiful family!!!❤

[@melaniecalderon8973]

Suggestions about rhe hasselbacks. I think it's meant to be sliced on the back side. And you usually so this before roasting with all the herbs/spices/butter etc. That way the seasoning cooks into the slices while it roasts.

[@amandaemerson753]

Ys. She cut the squash on the wrong side.

[@tammyf8921]

It works either way! 😊

[@melaniecalderon8973]

Love that you shared a core memory with us, I also used to love checking out cook books more than regular books as a child. I also would check out embroidery/ cross stitch and sewing books 😊

[@janamerican]

That is always my luck when peeling veggies! The trick I found helped was to peel them onto a kitchen towel! Your hand is lower and you don't throw the peel as when you try and do into a bowl, then pick up towel and empty into bowl or trash! ❤❤Love your videos! Thank you

I also like using jelly mason jars for pretty layered desserts. Everything looks great Becky.

[@beckynelson6963]

Becky, u mentioned making homemade tortilla chips. I make mine from homemade corn tortillas . ( I use a tortilla press which makes the dough thin). I don’t fry but bake in oven at 250 degrees until golden in color, and crispy. When you have a stack of tortillas, cut them into triangles and spread on a cookie sheet and spray generously with coconut or olive oil spray, and salt them when out of the oven and still hot. I also stack my tortillas and slice thinly into strips for garnish on chicken tortilla soup or pozole.. I freeze mine and take out when needed.

[@brendabrenda413]

Hi Becky. I’ve been making no knead bread recently too. I don’t care for the round shape so I just pour the dough into a regular loaf pan and let rise then bake. They turn out perfectly 😊

[@aprildawncarbaugh3020]

Love you and all your videos the Cooking ones are my favorite. just a tip for lighting your candles. always put you unlit candle to the lit candle, that way you don't drip the wax and they light much easier. valentine blessings

[@Tia-vj9ox]

Beautiful meal and table. So excited to see you embracing color!❤

[@Tia-vj9ox]

Just a tip (thought) from a friend who owned a greenhouse.”Flowers don’t clash because Nature doesn’t clash” So, use your flowers wherever you want and mix and match at your whimsy!❤

[@currybase]

She removed the flowers because she is afraid of colour.

[@carolinereynolds2032]

Flowers will attract pollinators to your garden. So beauty and practicality together.

chocolate mousse is the perfect recipe for Valentine's day - i'm sure your loved ones enjoyed all the effort and love put into the meal. as a pastry chef - i'm fully aware of how the ending of a meal is really special - Happy Valentines day to you and yours Becky!~ also - regarding your nasturtium plant - i hope you know they are edible and such a beautiful addition to summer salads - they are peppery and so pretty as a topper and eat too!

[@Patriotgranny]

Becky your meal looks phenomenal, I envy your energy my girl☺️ A good rule of thumb when using flowers on your table is to “keep them low”, so that they don’t inhibit your guests view. Once I assemble my arrangements & place them on the table, I sit in several of the seats to ensure each person will be clearly seen. I think we’ve all been to gatherings where we’re leaning over & craning around a centerpiece to speak to someone on the other side of the table! Blessings to you & your sweet family 💕

[@miewiegand1511]

To increase the flavour of you vanilla sugar, you could blend the vanilla pod into a powder at mix into the sugar, it tastes so good

[@ClaireHarrison-g4b]

Another lovely video - thank you! I noticed your kitchen aid whisk attachment is making a bit of noise in your bowl when whisking. I have the same problem if I don’t check the alignment of the whisk loops - in my model (it looks the same as yours), the two biggest loops lock into one another with one having a notch that the other loop fits in to where they overlap at the bottom of the whisk. I sometimes find after washing that the loops are no longer locked together which means they’re out of shape for the bowl and hit in places which make a noise and I just have to clip them back together to solve this problem. Worth checking at your end as I couldn’t quite see in the video if this was the case.

[@christelleuys8805]

Becky, I have to pause at the time where you show your green stalks. I can't wait for your garden videos, I hope you have lots of gardening videos planned for this coming growing season. I like the cooking, but love love love the gardening videos.

Hi Becky from Virginia. Dinner was stupendous!!! Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your family. I used to prepare special occasion meals for people I cared for and worked for.

I bet you’d enjoy that too !

Hi, favorite snack to make are tortilla chips: after making tortillas cut into pieces and let them dry for a few hours or over night. You do Not need to fry. Simply spread on cookie sheet spray with olive oil, toss, then lightly spray again. Add seasoning. Bake at 400 for 5 minutes turn bake additional 4 minutes or until crisp. Another tip is use a fillet knife (very narrow blade) to cut cookie dough logs, it does not effect dough’s shape

[@klr1010]

I was just going to say the same thing. That she could bake them vs frying them.

[@margaretcopeland5029]

I've used a really hydrated chibatta style dough to make hamburger buns. Since it is so wet the dough needs support on the side. I use silicon hamburger bun/crumpet molds. It works.

For the squash…try using a used canning lid to get the seeds out. Works better than a spoon!
