A LARGE Family Summer Dinner From Start to Finish!

[@whatwhittdidnext132]

Your mom should totally have her own channel. So likeable, genuine and honest xx

[@Fennosims]

i totally agree. shes awesome

[@Caareenkm6726]

Beautiful soul! ❤

[@anitakleinman7542]

I love watching you work with your mom. I would LOVE to learn more about caring for grapes!!!

[@conniebranham-b9x]

Your mom has a soothing voice, and yes, I think if she had her own channel, it would do very well.

[@jesselliott604]

We need at least a monthly cooking day with mom. Didn’t get to see dad this time but would be great to see him as well.

[@kimberlee2469]

I love how the birthday people always get to request their dessert and you do everything you can to accommodate! Love that so much!

[@karmenmiles-mesch9295]

I do this with all my family and friends

[@birgitelisabeth9661]

You two are a great team!

[@kbk2192]

After watching a few of your videos, I was perplexed because there’s rarely any music or trendy editing, but I like it. Makes it more personal and shows you aren’t doing it for any reason other than the love of cooking and sharing recipes. Good for you!

[@suebean3873]

I had not noticed, but I never missed the music. They always have a short story to tell, and explain everything, no need for the music at all. It was sooo enjoyable just as is.

[@judyfisher25]

As a hearing impaired person with hearing aids, I appreciate that there’s no music. Sometimes it can be very loud and it’s difficult to understand the person speaking. Hope you don’t mind my two cents!🤗

[@SunnyDay-kw1pd]

​I am also hearing impaired and while I LOVE music, I do prefer it seperate from talking. You are so correct, when the two are combined I can't hear everything that's being said. So, Becky, to you and your editor, Thank You so much for not putting music over the voices. You and your mom are an absolute joy to watch.​@@judyfisher25

[@judyfisher25]

Perfectly said! Becky is so easy to understand while she’s cooking and when she speaks in her videos after the fact. So appreciate the clarity.

[@Funky_Fairy]

This is one of the many reasons I love Becky

[@elizabethgrylls978]

Your mum is so supportive and kind, and patient. Every time she says "that's a really good idea" my heart melts a bit. What a great and comforting video.

[@francineshea4723]

Susan, you must be a wonderful mom because you raised such a wonderful, hardworking daughter who adores her family.

[@Jyttrz]

What a great landscape you have! I bet the Nightscape is just gorgeous !!

[@suebean3873]

Soo true, she’s a doll.

[@aliciaj4616]

Was just thinking the same thing!

[@NeoTifa]

I love her calling you out. "I've never used a cherry pitter" "bruh I literally bought you one and you never used it?"

[@annettemitchell2485]

Just about 2 weeks ago from today 9/24/24 she did use that cherry litter and loved it. Look for the video labeled “It might be a small load But it all adds up”.

[@ShariJohnson-o5r]

I appreciate the respect you show your mom when you are cooking in her kitchen even though you are recording for your channel. I love to watch you cook together.

[@aimhigherthanever]

I love how you and your mom encourage and respect one another ❤

[@lyannebetit7796]

The separators can separate different herbs and smaller leafy veggies that would go in different recipes!

[@vanessasplace8690]

I was totally scrolling to find the answer to this out of curiosity. So, thank you for that! P.S. Mine does not have those and I totally think I would throw them out if so. lol!

[@dixierobinson2606]

Exactly. If you are washing several herbs or vegetables and don’t want them to mix.

[@MyAnchorLife]

I’ve always wondered what they were for too!

[@defineddisabledlife3463]

I thought they would be to help move and aerate them to stop them clumping.

[@lesleyblackie9913]

They are also helpful if spinning berries. They help prevent bruising

[@elt.214]

I bet your mother was a star student in home economics class. Love how organized she had everything!

[@loriyounger2031]

I love it when your mom is on. She is such a joy. Becky, your smile when your mom speaks is priceless.

[@stephaniew7137]

I love all of your videos but especially enjoy the watching you and your mother cooking together. It reminds me of times my daughter and I lived close enough to cook together frequently. Treasure every moment ❤

[@tanauck]

These are my favorite videos of Becky's! I lost my mother when I was young. My favorite memories with my mom are of all the baking and candy making we did together at Christmas every year. Pumpkin roll was a seasonal must also.

[@judyfisher25]

It reminds me of when my mom and I used to cook together. She’s no longer here, but I have great memories!

[@natiaamoani7846]

I adore "Queen of Efficiency" videos. She's such a delight. No wonder Becky is such a joy to watch.

[@debbiesander8208]

What is her KZbin channel called? I’m not finding it under Queen of Efficiency. Thank you for your help!

[@SEK-COJO_inmyheart]

​@@debbiesander8208Susan doesn't have her own channel actually. I think the person just gave her that tag as Susan IS the Queen of Efficiency. She's stated before she's just so busy with her grandkids and family that she doesn't have time. Her husband does have his own channel. Idk the name though. 😊

[@lindamichaelvandal2645]

Hi Becky: FYI - in a few videos I have seen your mom clean her granite counter top with Windex. Over time Windex will run the granite. I googled it for you: Windex contains ingredients that can permanently damage the granite. While the most common damage done by Windex is dulling the shine of the countertops, it can also cause pitting. Windex can strip the sealer off of your granite countertops, leaving the granite susceptible to staining and other damage. Her kitchen is beautiful and would hate to see it ruined!

[@judycox4165]

Susan, I have never noticed you have an amazing view. I love watching you and Becky in the kitchen.

[@cjs9917]

Can I come visit for a week? Will work for food. 😉😜😂

[@suebean3873]

@@cjs9917me too! Me too!

[@CatherineShoresHMN]

42:50 I came in to see what the salad spinner parts are for! 😂😂😂

[@mirandabruning3953]

I'm here for the parts of the spinner too😂

[@splash0306]

These mother daughter cooking/entertaining vlogs are my favorite. I am so amazed by Susan’s efficiency and am learning a lot regarding timing.

[@carolperhach3657]

When your mom smiles, she is beautiful. And your dad is so cute. Love when you are on with them. Live your videos!!

[@deedrahsimmons7545]

Becky, I love watching you and your mom together in the kitchen! Makes me miss my mom. She was a wonderful cook and baker. Such beautiful memories! We always had family celebration dinners and cook outs! Everything looks absolutely amazing! I never miss a video! ❤

[@mmc9828]

My favorite videos of yours are the ones where you cook with your mom. I don't have a family so it's interesting for me to see the two of you interact. Another great video!

[@lisacampbell7052]

I make a salsa with 2 sliced pineapples, each 1/2 inch thick, patted dry (grilled and let cool before dicing and adding to the rest of the recipe) 1 cup whole strawberries, diced 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion 3 Tbsp. chopped, fresh mint leaves 1 tsp. sugar 1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes 1/2 medium lemon I then serve it over grilled chicken and some yellow rice. Omg it's sooooo good!

[@andiedavis2076]

I don't care for mint. Is there another herb I can use?

[@lisacampbell7052]

@andiedavis2076 you could use basil or just leave it out all together.

[@lorielove7046]

Cilantro

[@jadan9467]

I love it when your parents are in your videos. Your Mom is such a gem. She is a wealth of information and wisdom. ❤ Your Dad is an inspiration. The way he supports his family 💝

[@janarinehart6888]

We are beekeepers in Texas. Chrystalized honey is pure honey. It makes no difference for us which way we store it. We always have the room with very little humidity with a dehumidifyer. And the room is cooled from the ac. It makes no difference...if it is pure honey, it will chrystalize eventually. Just set the jar of honey in a warm pot and let it sit and turn back into liquid gold. We also keep some small bottles in the refrigerator and stir it often and it becomes thick and smooth. It is wonderful on bisquits and toast. Many people want it that way. Enjoy your channel very much. And love you cooking with your sweet Mom.

[@lindahelm4035]

I love watching you cooking together. Both wonderful cooks, and still learning from each other. When you are done cooking, Becky's dad comes in, and cleans and resets the kitchen for the rest of the gang to arrive.

[@AlexandraAndStuff]

There are very, very few things in life that are better than having a summer cook out with all your favorite people. It makes me so happy.

[@louiedd18]

Becky your childhood sounds lovely and comforting with how your mom cared for the family. I’m trying to do same for my family and I hope one day my kids will be requesting food from their childhood❤

[@dianedohman1807]

The way Becky smiles at her mother is very touching .

[@Luvmygoats]

These are some of the best videos, you and your mom in the kitchen together. I can't remember if there are any of you, your mom, and Josh's mom altogether in the kitchen, but that would be absolutely devine. Thanks, Becky, for bringing your passion to videos. You went from dental hygienist to world-wide known and loved home chef who we can watch and hang out with anytime of the day.

[@LanaiDebbie]

I live in Hawaii, and I am thinking the “passionfruit” Sharon found when they were hiking is guava. It is pink, grows on a tree and is often found on the ground on hiking trails. It is a very invasive tree that has taken over many forested areas.

[@stephanietaylor8615]

I agree, I'm pretty sure passion fruit juice isn't pink... But I've only ever had the bottled juice, never the whole fruit.

[@karenkay3715]

Your parents house has the most amazingly beautiful view... It's stunning and tear worthy to this nature lover!! 💚

[@kathleenclark5877]

I only just started to watch and I can’t help but marvel at how militarily organized the two of you are, especially your mum! It is a thing of beauty to watch and to learn from. Bravo!

[@judyt.3228]

You provide such a nice family experience...I love that... especially because my family isn't close at all. You are truly blessed!!!!!! Family is nice!

Oh how lucky are we to get two videos from Becky in one day! Awesome!

I wasn’t able to finish the first one before she removed it but I guess it’ll go up again once whatever problem was with it is fixed 😊

[@crystalpolice]

My mom is staying with my family because I just had a tonsillectomy yesterday. I've been saving up a few of your videos, and she's hooked now. I have my 40th next year and am having a beach vacation with family and friends. My mom and I are now thinking we'll have a themed night with these awesome recipes for one of the days we're all there. 😊

[@leisaann]

A bonus! Hi again Becky, hi mom! Hi everyone 🎉

[@melissacollins4716]

I have never glimpsed the views from your parents' yard before...spectacular!! Thanks for sharing another great party prep. I can't wait to try the salsa recipe 😋

[@user-mc3tp5sd2z]

Tip for strawberries: make quick work of them using an egg slicer instead of a knife.

[@americanwomen01]

Love a video with Becky’s momma!! 🥰🥰

[@alissdiaz7052]

My favorite videos when you are cooking with mom for parties!

[@yiayia100]

I think those dividers are so you can rinse different herbs at the same time. That salsa looks wonderful as well as the pecan pineapple cake, YUM!!!!

[@jenn9119]

Yes, rinse and spin different herbs for different dishes.

[@MommyDontSeeMe]

Cherry pitters are awesome. My grandmother lived in Oregon, and I was so impressed that cherry trees actually grew in her front yard. I was from the southeast, so I knew people with orange trees in their yard, but cherries were so foreign to me - and delicious!

[@amyrivers4093]

That would of been amazing. Cherries are very expensive in my country.

[@carolynhawkins6644]

Well, again, if you and your Mom are just simply the cutest and the sweetest together ever!!

[@roxannaboykin1935]

We used to camp at the lake with a couple friends. We would circle our campers with a central campfire and tables. The ladies would get together and plan meals and assign dishes, grocery items and prep. 4 families and we had everything from hot dogs & burgers to smoked turkey. These weekends were the highlights of our summers.

[@MarleneGoldhammer-pm1kx]

I adore your mom. I could watch and learn from her all day.

[@kathyodrzywolski268]

Your mom is so cute. Please treasure the time you have to spend with your mom in the kitchen . Once you know longer have this you will have the joy of looking back on these posts and find loving memories that you will treasure for years to come. I have rooted and grown many pineapple’s from the pineapple tops that I have saved and rooted. Love all you videos Beckie

[@deborahdeborah8724]

You guys have such a lovely family! It is so obvious that you are cherishing every minute. It's such a pleasure to watch! Keep it coming!

[@jacquespoulemer]

Hi Mom and Becky, when you chop an onion the sharp sulferous chemical comes from the damaged cells (the onions self defense from getting bitten). Rinsing it off removes the Sulferous compounds and leaves the intact milder cells. Loved watching you gals preparing a love feast. All the Best Jim Mexico

[@ILoveParamore25]

AMEN! Mama is back!! We are about the same age and having you both is always a blessing! Thank you! I even have my husband watching when he can. You have taught me so much and am so grateful!

This was such a joy to watch. You work in perfect harmony now. I wish I had that entire bowl of pineapple strawberry salsa and a spoon, the cake with pecans and a fork right now. 😂 YUM!! I’m not sure I’ve seen you guy’s roast radishes yet.. I’m a convert, they are so delicious like that and I run out of radish ideas. I’ve roasted a bunch and popped them in the freezer. Susan, your garden radish excitement was precious and what made me think of it. Lovely watching you ladies, thank you! ❤

[@DebbieSimmons-wl8wq]

Honey crystallization is dependent on what the bees use to make it. For instance Honey made from bees visiting canola will crystallize really quickly while honey made from clover not as quickly.

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

That's so cool to learn!

[@tammyrasmussen3878]

Honey that crystallize quicker depending on the water content when it is harvested.

[@Marlina66]

I had no clue! Makes sense. Thanks for sharing!

[@DebbieSimmons-wl8wq]

@@tammyrasmussen3878 water content shouldn’t be a factor if the honey is capped when harvested. I am sure there may be a variation but only slightly as the bees know at when it is dry enough to cap. At least this is what I have read and determined in my experience. I have been a beekeeper for almost 15 years.

[@jackieonate3439]

Like daughter, like mother , both sweet.

Watching this (currently 8:30 am) made me so hungry 😂 that I went to the kitchen to heat up a breakfast burrito, I made a batch from your recipe, my husband loves them. This feast looks amazing. I love everything with pineapple in it!

[@kelliwebb2870]

You should plant the top of the pineapple. It will grow a new pineapple in two years. That’s how I grow all of mine. But I’m in zone 10a Southwest Florida. You’d have to bring it inside in the winter.

[@debbiewood7718]

I hear you Susan, between allergies and preferences it is quite a chore to keep every one happy.

[@shereenaali5165]

Omg Becky it was a real surprise to get to watch a second video in one day. The meal looks delicious as always. You and your mom are so good together in the kitchen. I miss cooking with my mom. She passed away five years ago. But I still make some of her favorite dishes. Enjoy ❤

[@gitabrown1698]

I love watching you and your mom in the kitchen. Your mom is not only smart but adorable. And you are the same. I love you both.

[@oliviaayala1219]

Hi Becky and Susan. The reason you alternate wet and dry ingredients; makes all ingredients are evenly disperced throughout batter, keeps batter from clumping and forming lumps. To uncrystalizing your honey is easy, just heat it up it will never go bad. Until next time may your party be a success, much love and many prayers. 💖💖

[@danneeley7248]

What a great relationship you and your mom have. Thank you for sharing your dinner. Preparations. Great family you’re blessed with.

[@ecostacey]

Hey Becky and Susan! Your so lucky to have such an amazing relationship x I need a mom hug lol

[@VickiTheCraftAttic]

My favorite videos are definitely the ones with you and your Mom planning, prepping, shopping and cooking for a family party.

[@paulalogue976]

Great video! Love when you have these big parties! You have given such good tips and tricks. One tip I would like to share is instead of putting your lighter into the grill ( oh my goodness you made me nervous LOL) to get it lit, there is usually a small hole on the side of your grill. My grill has it on the right side about the same level as where your burners are. It’s so much safer to put your lighter there instead of into the grill. Hope that made sense. Much love & blessings to you and your family.

[@brendabrown4912]

I love to see you and your mother in the kitchen together she is so funny and when you all taste things together you all have the same expression always enjoy your mom and spend all the time you can with her and I miss doing things with her so much have a blessed day

[@TaraannBudgetsandSelf-Care]

[@Tia-vj9ox]

Thank you so much for including us in your family celebration! Love to Susan!❤️

[@Tia-vj9ox]

Everything looks wonderful! BTW, peach salsa is delish too. You can mix with other fruit or just do peaches.

[@RamonaEdwards-m4j]

You mentioned you were going camping as a big family. Years ago, before my daughters decided to run away from home to have families of their own, we loved camping as a family. One of the things my girls requested every time was taco/vegetable soup. We always, ALWAYS served it the day we were setting up camp as all the prep work was done before leaving home and the only thing needed to be done was open the cans and rip the packets of seasoning. After a long drive with children, who wants to wait for unloading, starting a fire and cooking? Our taco soup recipe is as follows for a family of 4 to five: 2 parts tomato sauce to 1 part chicken broth (veg broth works great as well) and 2 packet of taco seasoning. Bring to boil. For the ratio of wet, try to use equal size cans and adjust taco seasoning as needed. Obviously, if using the large cans of wet, you need more taco seasoning packets…adjust to your taste. I never mixed the fresh veggies for travel. Each one got their own bag. We love veggies so all the favorites got bought, chopped, and bagged. For serving, the broth stayed in the big pot with a ladle. We would use nacho chips, bacon bits, (or any meat of your choosing..bacon precooked and diced was easier to travel with), sliced black olives, corn, finely diced broccoli, black beans (rinsed), sour cream, green onions, tomatoes (I used pico as everything was inclusive), cheese, guacamole. Each side got their own bowl. When plating……bowling rather, take a hand full of nacho chips and crush them into your bowl. Then go down the line and add to the bowl any side you wanted, then top it with the cheese, sour cream, guacamole, . You can adjust the sides to whatever your family likes. Then top with the scalding broth which will blanch the sides. You still get the fresh crunch as the soup does not fully cook the veggies. The beauty of this soup is that the children feel they have control over what they are eating and will fill up on healthy things. They also get the fun of suggesting what to buy, slice and pack.

[@rachelsykes9317]

Watching your cooking and shopping videos with your mom makes me miss doing similar with my own. I live several hours away from my mother, so I don't get to spend as much time with her as I'd always like, but when I do, it's just as much fun as the times you have with your mom. Thanks for sharing the content, and I'm so glad your mom is willing to be involved with your videos like this.

[@melindawargowsky8176]

If no one has commented, your salad spinner dividers are for when you want to spin several things but store them separately. Like basil, oregano, and parsley at the same time.😊

[@kezwall4506]

Becky you Mum is soo wonderful organising these beautiful family meals. Susan you are wonderful Mother and Grandmother. Enjoyed the video soo much, helps me plan my next family get togethers.

[@KindOfCountryLife]

I would totally love to have coffee and hang out with your Mom lol! Every time I make pasta, my Mom yells across the kitchen, "Did you remember to salt the water???" And I answer her, "I wouldn't be your daughter if I didn't!" lol!

[@lindakeller3259]

Once again I want to say your Mom is a doll ❤

[@cathrinagroiss604]

Here's a tried and true idea for grilling carrots: roast them whole like hot dogs. No need to peal them, just scrub well. You can roast them plain and serve with sauces, or brush a marinade on as you grill. With other veggies, just roast them whole too, or halfed if you must. Works for peppers, zucchini, onions, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and even thick cabbage slices. It's less prep ahead, and so much easier when you ate grilling, to add them before your proteins or along them. When I was younger my dad used to roast on coals/wood, so the veggies always came first while we were waiting for the ambers to form

[@brendadonabedian6324]

So swe that you and your mom can cook together. I’m sure the family enjoys everything you do

[@deedeemooreco.2304]

Becky, we had bee hives for years and I’ve still got jars of our honey in my pantry. Use glass, not plastic. Oxygen exposure hastens crystallization too. Store in cool dark place, it will last for literally decades.

[@jcdeco60]

Becky, you are so blessed to be able to share this time with your Mother, I hope you have a daughter and carry on the tradition of cooking with Mom. So special.

[@lorenstribling6096]

Everything looks delicious. I make an apple upside down cake with thin sliced apples, chopped pecans and the caramel that is to die for.

Try Asian grocery stores for the fruit juices you cant find elsewhere. Frozen section and bottled juice blends.

[@joannebstephens897]

You are a very lucky young lady. It obvious that you had a wonderful mother, father, and given the opportunity to grow into a wonderful example of the American dream. Keep up the great work you do. Teaching this younger generation how to plant and grow and create great meals from your hard work. Your parents must be extremely proud of the daughter you are. 😂❤❤

[@alesiawallin3860]

My guess on the dividers in the salad spinner would be for like when you are washing fruits and or veggies for different plates. That way you can get everything washed at once.

[@karencox2250]

Your party preps are wonderful and thanks for the tips. Sorry that people are so disrespectful you send notice in advance that is what rsvp is all about.

[@louiseroy655]

Put your honey in canning jars. Sometimes when I buy honey it is in a plastic container. I transfer the honey into the glass jars. When it hardens, set the jar in a small pan of water on the stove. On a low temperature it will soften. You can stir it to speed up the process. If you want to know how to preserve honey, call your County Cooperative Extension office which would be part of your State University System.

[@bettypogue7021]

That is what I always have done.

[@DvLnDsGyZ]

Another great video guys, good job! BBQ/Rosemary tip- You can use the rosemary sprigs (the woody part) as skewers! It adds a lot of flavor to your meat from the inside 😊 Party on ✌️
