My husband just walked into the living room and heard Becky’s voice….. his response was “oh Lord, she is watching Becky! What am I going to the store for now”! Lol, I guess I do make many of the recipes that you show us. Two days ago it was meals in a jar, yesterday was more chicken broth, today is tomato sauce. Hmmmmmmm, I do have a huge bag of apples in the pantry! Lmbo

[@laurieherring3507]

My family is the same way! Did Becky get that for her kitchen! I love my Spurtles!!

[@Pattir924]

We call it lupper lunch/supper

[@debstaf5428]

That's hilarious!

[@camicri4263]

🤣🤣🤣

Mine walks in saying…..”Are you watching messy Becky again?” Then proceeds to sit and watch her with me. We both love her!….lol

[@Jax-kj5yo]

Becky, I have a Scottish friend with whom I share recipes. I confessed to her That I was dreadful at pasty making. She sent me her recipe for pastry with or without sugar depending on what you are using it for. Her recipe is more or less like yours, but her secret for a sweet pastry is to use egg yolks cold from fridge instead of water. It really takes the pastry up to another level!

[@betterlatethannevertexasho2193]

Can you share your recipe too? Pretty please?

[@startipper3767]

Hey @Jax - would love a copy of your recipe also to print and have in my recipe book. Thanks so much !

[@LB-vl3qn]

So, would that be a direct substitution volume-wise, egg yolks for water? What a rich and decadent pastry that would make. ~ Lisa

[@KatWrangler]

Would she allow you to share the recipe?

[@DawnPalmer55]

Please share the recipe with us, if possible!

[@rosettaroper3317]

I want to tell you how much I love your dad, when you posted how to look at his post I did, and he is a very wonderful man and I know that I will be closer to the Lord after I watch him every day. You are a very fortunate woman to have a dad like that. My daddy died when he was 43 years. And I was 15 years old. I love watching You in your kitchen and in your garden!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I agree, she is the delightful woman she is partly because of her wonderful parents. I could only wish!

[@asiajo1010]

I know what you meant but I cackled when you said “today we’re going to have a relaxing afternoon in the kitchen” 😂😂😂 cackled because as a newbie to any and all things kitchen, your relaxed is my VERY busy ❤😂 but it’s a blessing to do so I am not complaining.

[@bridgetmanier103]

I love the way you and Josh talk and communicate with each other and the way you look at Josh with so much love keep it up Becky keep it up

[@juliemac1465]

My grandmother always used orange juice instead of water. This was for any fruit pie. The orange juice adds another dimension to the flavor

My favorite tool to use when adding iced water to make dough is my fat separator! No fighting with the cubes.

wasps eat the caterpillars that kill your garden. to keep them off the house paint the ceiling of your patio a pale blue, they think its sky and wont nest there. you can also paint the eaves pale blue if they are persistent.

[@kathrynmauro8673]

It's so nice to see you saying that this is Josh's favorite, and you prepare the food item so lovingly. You also mention how he does things for you, such as your website. The two of you are blessed to have each other. Baby A not only has loving parents, but he has great role models. 👏👏

[@katehopkinsbrent5573]

TOTALLY agree with you. Fantastic couple and great role models. I can see in a few years little dump trucks hauling garden mud 🥰 until mommy plants the garden 👍

That bench scraper you used to pick up your pico ingredients from the board could be used to cut your dough on the silicone mat without damaging it.

Be careful with how sharp your pizza cutter is! I rolled right through mine 😅

[@user-ru9wp4vs5m]

Becky your family is so lucky to have bought a home with a great orchard on the acreage. I thought when you were there gathering the fruit 🍎 how nice just to walk out, pick an apple or pear 🍐 off the tree and enjoy what a blessing and also what a wonderful harvest you have had from your garden. Josh is a lucky man. Have you ever made pear jam ? It is yummy ❤

[@luhnonato3]

Hello becky, hello friends, happy autumn for you all, it's starting spring were I live ❤🎃🌸

[@kyivstuff]

Hi! ❤

[@patjones5723]

Welcome 😊

[@dianamiller5583]

Irish Nachos for the win!!! You can easily open up a jar of home canned meat, too. One of our favorites to use on nachos (whether chips or potato) is home canned Roast Pork in Spicy Broth. The recipe is on page 297 of the book you borrowed from Renee...The All New Ball Book of Canning and Preserving. I keep the broth when I strain it off and use it for another recipe. I hate to have such a flavorful broth go to waste.

[@misssagacious]

Ooh! I bet that broth would make bomb rice or quinoa!

[@juliepereira3880]

When Becky comes on my family already knows not to ask me for anything. I don’t hear anyone talk to me. Lol

[@janebottrell6686]

Yes, get the damaged apples taken care of asap but if the other apples set a while their sugars concentrate a bit I believe. They get sweeter. Great for applesauce (for Baby Acre), pie filling and apple butter. So relax a little more and let them sweeten up. 😋

[@TD-izAbxy]

We all tell you all the time, and we mean it!! When one of your videos pop up it feels like such a treat!! I love watching your videos while I work, it makes my day go by so much faster. You inspire me every video, I love learning with you!

[@dorothyklein4445]

❤❤❤❤ We love hanging in the kitchen with you!

[@jeniferbanda5981]

I saw a reel the other day where someone used apple scraps, sugar and maple extract to make a mock maple syrup and thought of your wonderful harvest! Apple handpies are a huge favorite in our family!

[@martieflagg4671]

When Josh was tasting the handpie and you were talking to him; the happiness shining in your eyes and your smile was amazing!

[@kayladennis9133]

I will have to try these nachos they look delicious! My favorite way to eat a sweet potato is to use it as a base for a "taco". I cook it, open it up and put all my favorite taco toppings inside. Thanks for all you do, your videos are inspiring and I really look forward to them!

[@annpachini2155]

Many years ago when I was I child (I’m 72 now) my mother would make fried pies. Very similar to what you are making but instead of baking them she would fry them in a little Crisco. She made apple and apricot pies. I think the apricot were my favorite. I was always so excited when she made them. After they fried she would dust them with powdered sugar

[@awyomingprairiewife.8385]

@annpachini2155… My grandma made apricot fried pies. With her love, and those pies, they were the best ever. I’m 70❤️❤️❤️

[@brendahughes3277]

​@@awyomingprairiewife.8385 My dad's favorite, fried apricot pies! Mom got so frustrated when they would split open in the oil, and swear she was never making them again....until she'd see the satisfaction on Dad's face when he bit into one. 😂

[@sandycols4870]

I'm 70...my mom also made fried apple pies, what a treat they were when we came home from school!

[@wendypaiz7240]

Hi Becky! When I was a child I tried the most delicious apple pies from a German pastry shop near my house. I never tried them again, until a year ago when I found the recipe and was totally impressed with how delicious this homemade cake was. It's called APFELKUCHEN. It has nuts and apple. Delicious

[@anneramirez9577]

Hi, Becky, I was watching a different video where you harvested your apples, and I thought I should tell you about the worms. They are known as “Apple maggots,” but they are really caterpillars. The moth mommies lay the eggs on the blossoms and baby fruit, and they hatch out when the fruit is big, and eat their way OUT. The best thing to do is to deal with the moths when they are laying in the spring. Look up Apple maggots and I’m sure you can find a natural solution. Hope this helps.

[@Passioakka]

We have had an outstanding apple harvest this year and I have done your pre prepped filling for pies. Now I have 25 packages with filling in my freezer and tomorrow I will chop up more apples to freeze for apple cakes/muffins. We also have a stunning year for mushrooms, I have never found this amount of funnel chanterelle before. I visited your website a couple of days ago and I must say that it looks great, tell Josh he did a good job! Some sites are so filled with advertising, some of it with moving pics and with my brain tiredness that is a big NO NO and makes me extremely tired. Thank you for keeping it "clean"!

[@yvonneward9248]

Becky, I live in TN and in the south we make ours round, fill them, crimp, and fry them. Fried pies are a staple here.

[@christiansingle1]

Mercy, you taught an old dog a new trick. I didn't know you could use the end of the newer type potato peeler to get out blemishes on potatoes. Thank you!!!

[@rebeccaevans8810]

I saw that too and thought wow never knew that😊

[@mdketzer]

You cook like me I always put my own spin on anything I make, especially if I am cleaning out the fridge or pantry! Potato nachos, my jam, well any nacho to be honest!😂

[@bridgestew]

We use thin sliced potatoes to make Reuben flavored nachos...basically top them with corned beef, shredded swiss cheese, a bit of sauerkraut (optional) and drizzle with a bit of thousand island.

[@judithburke1539]

OMG, that sounds amazing!

[@vgil1278]

@@judithburke1539 yes, it does!

[@rev.ruthe.gallot9103]

Several pubs in my area serve those and call them "Irish Nachos" I love them, too

[@jflyon32]

For whatever reason this video made me tear up. I didn’t know I needed a relaxing day in the kitchen but I enjoyed it with my coffee! Thanks ☺️

[@rentiaschooling7610]

You can use your bench scraper to cut your pastry dough on the mat if you don't want to damage it. Love your channel.

[@robindrew3894]

Hi Becky my name is Robin and i just love your videos. I am watching all the way in Newfoundland. I love your energy and upbeat personality. I used to love baking and cooking as you do but about 4 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, which on must days is very dibilating. I had all the energy in the world as you do but over the past few years i haven't been able to do as much as i onxe did. I love to watch your videos and on my good days i love to try some of the wonderful recipes i see you make and my husband and rwo children love when i feel well and get busy in the kitchen. 😊. I get so excited when i get a notification that another of your videos goes up. Keep those videos coming. I also love how close you and your family are, my sister parents and I are the same. Can't wait for your next video. Your friend Robin. PS. I love your new garden , that would be my dream garden. Take care.

[@leisaann]

Hi Becky, hi friends! Have an enjoyable weekend! I love apple pie!

[@debbiekocol8731]

You as well. Becky is amazing. I'm 68 but learn from her every episode.

[@kelly-annejenner486]

I’m from England and I’m sat here watching thinking what are hand pies? Then I realised it’s what we call a pasty 👍🏻 they look good, hope you and Josh enjoyed them xx

[@redrobin7136]

That potato nacho bake looks divine, Becky! I LOVE potatoes, they're one of my favorite foods! Mmmm..homemade apple hand pies as well?! I'm trying your recipe! Here in Michigan, we enjoy oodles of apples and cherries every year and nearly as many recipes for them, too! Enjoy your weekend~

[@jajacobs100]

Now, that potato dish looks yummy. My mother use to make apple and peach pies, only she fried them. Yum.

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Hello Becky, both of these recipes look delicious and fun to make. I must say your Comment section is fantastic and a must read. Your followers are wonderful and love to share with you and each other. Take care and Happy Fall. 🍁🎃🍂🧡

[@kimberlyhaney7582]

I will bake a bunch of baked potatoes at once. The first night is loaded baked potatoes, the next is twice baked potatoes, then I slice up what is left for potato nachos.

[@cnaspo254]

Hi Becky it is recommended that you wash your apples first even it you intend to peel them

[@loribethartist6353]

I love that you shred cheese instead of buying the packages - my husband had a work dinner last night including a salad with shredded cheese, and he immediately noticed how much better it tastes at home!

[@joannemarshall9461]

There is a restaurant along the Washington coast that serves potato nachos. They were good and shared it with my aunt's boyfriend and my sister and aunt shared the chicken strips with 🍟.

[@crickettjd]

Seeing you make these rustic pies reminds me of the delicious empanadas we used to get when we lived in Tampa; we moved to Jacksonville, Florida in 1968. Any time we go to Tampa we get empanadas, deviled crabs, and Cuban sandwiches, and we make sure we bring some home with us!!!

[@awiselittlehomestead777]

Your videos bless me so much, Becky! Heading to the kitchen to make my husband a cup of tea and get the house reset for the night.

[@lovas1196]

I canned some apple butter last year and it’s *fine*…but this inspired me to try making homemade pop tarts with it!

[@jenniferkingsbury8229]

Great idea!!! I'm learning to make pie crust so this would be great practice. First crust came out too crispy so gotta keep trying!!

[@carolinebell1210]

Stopped the video to go make this potato natchos for lunch. Spectacular with pulled pork, salsa and sour cream. What a great meal to make on the first day of fall, thanks for your inspiring recipes again Becky.

[@ninasmith1540]

In the UK they would be called Apple Turnovers (as you turn the pastry over the filling) after I egg wash I sprinkle some sugar on, so good 🙂🇬🇧

[@denisejones1863]

For your wasps you can fill a small brown lunch paper bag with store plastic bags and tie with twine at top to make a wasp nest. Place these around the outside of your house were the wasp are building nest. I tie them on my deck, porch and other random places. Since they are territorial the wasp will not build a new nest when they see these. I have done this for years and my wasps are greatly reduced.

[@sunshinensprinkles9322]

All the beautiful assortment of color from the fresh fruit and veggies from your garden looks so appetizing. And those apples!! 😍

[@princessalways4eva]

Oh what a afternoon, Becky on my iPad!🎉🎉🎉 Woo hoo! My son and husband love apple pie. I’m actually going to make one soon so this video is perfect, I’d like to make my own crust. I make the filling myself so why not. Plus all store bought crust is NOT created equal. It’s like you can read my mind.😁 Nice..an Apple preservation day is in the near future. I’ll be on the lookout. I do slices too when I make apple pie. Mmmm, cinnamon. Your peeler looks just like the one I have. It’s the BEST peeler I’ve had. I got it on clearance in Walmart after Christmas a few years back. My husband makes loaded mashed potatoes, he’s a Chef at a 5 diamond resort, it is sooooo yummy. I use my air fryer oven daily in my home. We are empty nesters so there is no need to heat a full sized oven, or my house for that matter…we live in Florida.😅 I use my full sized oven for Christmas, I host Christmas Day in my house and share lots of Christmas time goodies. My sister-in-law lives for Christmas Day. One of my presents to her is Christmas Day…a day of relaxation and family with great food and she doesn’t have to do a thing. She works really hard on a daily basis and. I appreciate her to the fullest. Plus, I have no sister, only brothers and she is the BEST human being.❤️ Ah….pop tarts! I’m going to have to try that.🎉 There’s the look I was waiting for. Your passion for cooking/eating is awesome. Your facial expressions are intoxicating. We eat “linner” sometimes too. Crunch…music to my ears. Awesome video, I always enjoy seeing and interacting with you. Have a wonderful day.🤗

It's so funny, the difference between Australia and America. We don't have pre-jarred apples here and when I first started watching homestead videos, because I didn't know what apple pie filling or pumpkin pie filling were. In Australia we cook them while we get the pastry ready😂 I love your channel Becky and you are so inspirational🪻

[@kayemoore]

We call it “dunch” in my family lol - I know “linner” is popular too. Whatever it’s called, it’s one of our favorite meals; usually the bigger meal of the day if our breakfast wasn’t real large. THANK YOU for showing us this!

[@dilligaf3202]

I love your reactions to tasting. A foodie for sure. The expression and dance after tasting the nachos was for the win

[@dianahurst6377]

If youre looking for more ways to use potatoes.. look up canadian poutine! Variations are endless but traditional is gravy and cheese curds!

[@chriskryzak604]

When we have just a little bit of chili left over (not enough for dinner) ,we use it to top tortilla chips with shredded cheese and other toppings on hand for nachos. If there's a lot of liquid, we drain some of it so it doesn't make the chips soggy in the oven. I'm sure that would be delicious on the potatoes 😋

[@setapart6937]

This is such a good idea!

[@lindasbackyardgarden728]

I sliced my potato directly into hot oil with my potato peeler and made potato chips. We loved it

[@farmgirlzz2319]

If you dampen the edges of the pastry it will stick better and ensures no leakage.

I would have used a mandolin to cut those potatoes. You can get them way thin to create a kind of potato chip

[@setapart6937]

A mandolin is a game changer when it comes to slicing potatoes super thin. I found one at Aldi for like $10. I love it!
