Homemade Hand Pies and More!

I just wanted to let you know that I've made the baked oatmeal for my kiddos in the morning before and in our home it's called Becky's Baked Oatmeal For Josh, my 8 year old never liked oatmeal but he named it that and loves it and wants it for dinner sometimes. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks for us home cooks. Have a wonderful day!!!

[@lh824]

A gentle suggestion: After you have removed as much fat as you care to, return (as many as suits your pallet) the cooked onions to the "gravy" in the pot. Using an immersion blender, blend the onions until you have a smooth sauce. You'll be surprised how much flavor those "spent onions" contribute in addition to naturally thickening the sauce. 🤗

[@karladenton5034]

Great tip! I usually add carrots and celery to my roasts as well as onions, and 'smush' them into the gravy with a fork, but the blender would be SO much better.

[@dcmc7383]

Exactly. I never toss out those flavorful onions. They don't have any more onion flavor to give...but they do have the meaty seasoned flavor to use almost as a natural veggie "boullion"...so good.

A tip for making the slaw: make the dressing separately. It makes it a whole lot easier to get the dressing right. I have made it my whole life and I always mix the vinegar and sugar in a dish to dissolve the sugar, then mix in the mayo. I make a LOT more dressing than you did! I do it all by taste, so can't offer any measurements. I like it tangy and super creamy. It's also good to add some celery seed and plenty of black pepper! I hope you enjoyed those sandwiches!

[@mrmrsaofbarredowlcabin405]

We add poppy seeds

[@naomioakley3736]

I like to use honey in place of sugar. It's good that way too.

[@leahbeasley9929]

I also make my dressing separately. Definitely mix the sugar (2T) and vinegar (4T) first then add the mayo (1 c.) then add a pinch of salt and pepper. I always make the dressing hours before (if I can make it the day before) and let it sit for at least 3 hours before adding to the chopped cabbage and carrots. This is a combination of my grandmother's recipe from Kentucky and my 2nd cousins recipe from Texas.

[@authorgirlpetparent]

Same here: In a big bowl, I mix together mayo, apple cider vinegar w/the mother, greek yogurt, pink salt, dill weed, cayenne and liquid vanilla stevia, and then to the same bowl I add my finely grated cabbage, carrots, finely chopped red bell pepper, fresh parsley and cilantro. Always a winner!

[@sherrydaut4910]

You need to take a small bowl of your finished cold slaw, add a little celery seed (not celery salt), stir it well and taste. It makes a HUGE) difference in the flavor. If you like it, add it to the rest of your slaw, a little at a time). I have gotten so many compliments with just the addition of a little celery seed.

[@articowl2]

I use this method a lot when trying new things. Just make the changes to a small portion and taste before adding to whole amount.

Hi Becky! My first time to talked to you. I just want to share a tip that someone shared with me. When you need to preheat the oven, just push the broil ‘button’. It will heat up in less that half the time. I have been doing that for over a year now and it’s the only way that I preheat now. Love the show!! You’re such a great homemaker!! Bye for now!!!

[@susieclark1498]

I'm originally from the south and we always floured our pot roast and then seared it. It helps thicken the gravy and adds flavor.

I was very nervous to do this, but I took two smaller size beef bottom roasts (about 3 lbs total) out of my freezer and put them frozen into my Instant Pot. I added 3 cups of beef broth and threw in some spices on top of the meat. Cooked on High pressure for 90 minutes then let it natural release for 30 minutes. It came out fantastic! I made gravy from the drippings in the pot then shredded the meat and served over mashed potatoes. Nice to know I can do this when I forget to take the meat out to thaw.

[@kirstypollock6811]

I used to do the same with whole (small) chickens in my big pressure cooker. About 2-3 pounds.

[@kw1996]

A tip for your delicious-looking roast, instead of just throwing away the onion, garlic, etc., put them through a blender & then add it to your sauce, giving it a fantastic amount of flavor and thickening it as well! I also make my dressing in a separate bowl, however; I add 7% vinegar as I love mine really tangy, which goes really well with what you're making, especially with anything that has a little bit of a sweeter sauce! Have an awesome day!

[@JanicePhillips]

I prefer apple cider vinegar and maybe a splash of seasoned rice wine vinegar in my not so "Southern" slaw. 😀

[@kathleenniemi5542]

Wondering for a time saver. When you cook the oatmeal, cook it in the glass dishes you transfer the cooked oatmeal into. One less dirty dish and just have to let them cool before putting them in the frig. Now that there's just the two of us, When I make a casserole, I divide the recipe into those smaller glass dishes, cook one and freeze usually 2 more. Just the right amount for 1 dinner and easy to cook up later. Now I need to make some hand pies, rolls, slaw, and roast (my husbands favorite). It all looks delish.

[@olgaromero8831]

[@sandramorgan3900]

As a southern girl I am excited for you to be branching out to our cuisine!!! A few tips for great slaw.....mix dressing separately to taste with mayo, (Dukes is a southern staple), apple cider vinegar is mandatory, not white vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper.....other spices if you are daring, but the key is sweet and tangy!!! The longer before serving you dress the slaw the softer the slaw becomes as it breaks down. We also shred in our carrots for color. Keeps about three days. Love to watch you try new things you are very courageous.

[@cathleenthomas4648]

Hi Becky! Just a wild guess and someone else probably already said it but you added your yeast after you added your melted butter into the milk/water bun mixture. My guess is some of the yeast became coated in the butter, which then acted much like a rain coat by keeping the water from dissolving the yeast. I am not a specialist and this is just my best guess.

Coleslaw is one of those things my mom always made when she had about 1/2 cup or so of mayo at the bottom of the jar. She would add all the ingredients for the dressing into the mayo jar, close the lid, and shake like crazy to mix it all up. Then she would pour it over the cabbage that was also shredded with a box grater. The longer the slaw sits in the fridge with the dressing on the better it gets. Make sure to stir to get it all mixed up once the cabbage has marinated in the dressing for a bit. So good. Mom never used a recipe for this either. Just mix all the ingredients until the dressing tastes good. Try adding lemon juice along with the vinegar. It adds a nice brightness to the dressing.

A tip to keep your hand pies 🥧 from exploding is cut into squares with the filling in the center but pull it together at an angle into a triangle.

[@JanicePhillips]

Slaw tip - Shred your veg and use more carrot than you think you need. It adds major sweet and you can cut down on the sugar. Salt your veg and put a plate on it and stick it in the fridge. Then mix up your dressing separately (like most here have said) and stir it in to your pre-wilted veg. You can use less "dressing" because your veggies make half of it for you!

I am due with baby #4 beginning of Nov so I’m trying to get lots done before that. Lastly, you TOTALLy need to look up canning coleslaw. I did it a few years ago and love it because it basically pickles it and it stays crunchy. You can eat it as is with just the sweet vinaigrette it is canned in, or you can drain it and add some mayo and the flavor is great! You can also add your own spices in canning. My grandma used celery seed and celery salt so I adapted my canning recipe to my taste and how sweet I wanted it.

Hi Becky, a tip from long ago for making slaw. Cut chunks of cabbage, put it in the blender (like Osterizer), fill with water. Give it a whir and dump in the colander. Instant slaw!

[@lynnedean713]

LOL at the risk of sounding like an old mother hen, it always amazes me how you know what is in your storage bins/glass jars etc without labelling so I had a little aha moment when you thought you had mixed up your yeast and instant yeast. Even if you don't label, just mark one (as long as you remember what the mark means as with my memory, I have to label everything)!

I love to watch your face when you are doing "quality control" with your food.

[@lindas.8036]

Thanks for the videos. Re pie fillings, I understand the need to can for preservation, and they get cooked during that process. But I have stopped precooking pie fillings for fresh hand pies. I just use the fresh fruit, maybe adding a little bit more flour to thicken juices. The texture of the fruit is soooo much better. it cooks just enough during the baking process. Yum!

Becky you are such an inspiration! I am addicted to your videos! I literally wait for your uploads! I started my garden because of you and tomorrow I’m going to try those rolls and baked oats! ❤️

[@interestedobserver9352]

Oh my gosh everything you made looked delicious! Hand pies are a great idea.

Watching you live your best life and take care of Josh so well is very comforting. You are positively glowing as well!

Hey Becky! I discovered your channel recently and love all of your content. I’m so inspired to continue making changes in our home toward a more natural, healthy lifestyle. Have you ever thought about writing your own cookbook? I’d buy it in a heartbeat! 💜

[@tammyparish9340]

I love that your cooking incorporates adding things most of us wouldn't think of. Like adding zucchini to bulk up recipe and making oatmeal breakfast for all week. Love your trial and error mindset. You do what feel right.No regrets ; if it works ok. If not we'll try something else. Thank goodness you play by ear and it works.

[@monaleencabaron3694]

Hello Becky, this is amazing! I am going to make all this for my family - fingers crossed it turns well! Thanks so much!! You inspire me 🥰

Hi Becky! When you were talking about your bread rising and if you should change your yeast....please don't forget that you'd added the melted butter to your bowl BEFORE you added your yeast. I have found that adding fat almost always inhibits the yeast...at least the speed of the reaction before it activates. Your yeast might just be perfectly fine; I think you just drowned it a bit temporarily. :) Since you move at the speed of light, I thought you might need a reminder about that one step. Happy cooking and baking and canning and gardening in your new home. I'm always soooo happy to see your videos pop up!

Hi Becky, I make a similar dressing for coleslaw, I use some sugar, vinegar, salt, oil, and toss, I love it. Those had pies look real good. Great rolls.

[@cassystreet3082]

I've been making your rolls now for about a year and to be honest THEY ARE THE BEST!!! My kids beg me to make them. They love them so much that they just will eat them as is with nothing but some butter as a snack sometimes. They have very quickly become one of our favourite things. So easy so quick so when they ask for them I have no problem making them as they take no time and very little effort. Thanks for this idea of pulled beef to eat with them.

You could use the peaches pie filling in your oatmeal too, its good with waffles and pancakes in the morning too.

I think you just missed it. She did put the leftover peach pie filling in the oatmeal.

Oh my goodness Becky! Everything looks amazing as usual. Love everyone of your videos. Recently retired and I just hit TV to get play all❤️. Thank you🤗

Hi Becky, I make my roast in a crock pot too, but I don't use water, I use a regular cup of coffee, no sugar or cream, it gives the roast a deep beefy flavor, and I put raw garlic and onions in it too, and let it cook all day

[@rockpaperskizzers]

LOL Becky. Those pies look just like when I first tried to make hand pies! I always called mine struggle pies! They may look a bit messy but that doesn't matter when they taste amazing!

[@lisadyck9503]

My mom makes the long pies with apples. We call them Pie by the Yard. We love them. It's so much fun watching you cook.

[@priscillacummings4780]

beautiful meal...great looking rolls & peach pies!!

[@teresadaniels7207]

Hi Becky , When making anything with a lid from pastry just make a small hole in the middle of the top. This allows the expanding air to escape so your pie etc will not blow up like a balloon also the contents will not break out.

[@keeperofthehomestead9193]

Newer follower! You have definitely been giving me inspiration and motivation these last few weeks. I actually went to our farmer's market yesterday and scooped up some wonderful produce i don't grow on our homestead.

[@okiesonshine8484]

PSS I love your new house, I just redesigned mine in white and grey.. mine was oak wood and brown as well I find that the white and grey makes me in a better mood, I feel like everything looks so clean and fresh. PSSS I am sure you already know this but if you crush your egg shells after you wash them, and let them dry , place in gallon sized zip lock bag and place in freezer all winter, then come spring, you can put around your plants to reduce or eliminate slugs and snails, they hate walking over the ruff surface, also they break down and give your soil nutrients, such as magnesium, calcium and potassium.

[@neverwares]

Josh’s dinner looks like a smile!

[@diannerempel8262]

Those are the same ingredients I use to make my coleslaw! Then you give it a taste test, and adjust as necessary. I also add a chopped apple sometimes to jazz it up! For myself and my husband I will usually only use 1/4 head of cabbage and refrigerate the rest for another purpose. Shredded home grown cabbage lasts for many days in the fridge as well. Enjoying your videos!
