Saving Time and Money by Prepping a Week's Worth of Scratch Made Dinner!

[@rtamezepms8255]

So, I wanted to let you know that you have inspired me to start cooking again. I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and just stopped cooking or really doing anything. I started watching your Videos a few months ago and am ready to get back into the kitchen. My husband and I thank you.

[@amyrivers4093]

I'm sorry to here about your cancer. I have had crohns disease since I was child and I've had all but one metre removed over the years and the issues that come with it. I was being fed through my veins but every vein clotted and I could no longer be fed that way so even though it's painful I have to force feed myself. I wish you all the best and you will be in my prayers tonight.😊❤

The view out your kitchen window is gorgeous!

It is even better in spring summer when all her flower tubs are full of blooms.

[@hollybanks1503]

That’s what I came to say!!

[@lynn2574]

Every time you mention using up carrots, I think of the Dutch dish Hutspot. It’s a dish of potatoes, carrots, and onions that are cooked together until tender, then mashed together with some butter, salt, and pepper. We always served it with a kielbasa type sausage. It’s delicious.

[@k.j.krimson2590]

Sounds yummy. 😊

[@carolinalina13]

Sounds so delicious. Much love from Sydney, Australia❤❤

[@olivy217]

That sounds great

[@yvonnezeller6625]

I'm from the Netherlands and carrot stampot is one of my favorit foods. We make all kinds of stampot with vegetables in the wintertijd. Always live to watch you. I love to cook too.

[@lynn2574]

@@yvonnezeller6625 I’m in the US, but both my parents immigrated from Holland. We also had cabbage stampot, but my favorite was with carrots. As a kid I couldn’t pronounce it correctly in Dutch and called it “Stomp the pot”, which made since to me bc my mom mashed it with a potato masher. 😃

[@elizabethsmith9653]

You inspire me. I am 72 years old and never have seen some of the things you do! I wish I lived next door to you! I am going to look into milling my own grain .... maybe....hahaha! Thank you for all your energy! Again you inspire a very old woman!

[@kathryngganderson8636]

72 is not old. Old age begins at 80. You are older middle aged. Well aged, like cheese and wine, and dare I say it, men.

I am so glad you are now baking with freshly milled flours. I can use all the help I can get!

[@AZJH8374]

When your sister is here from Oklahoma, please ask her to cook with you one day for a vlog. I'd love to see it!! Please ask her to start a channel. She's brilliant and knows her way around the kitchen!! God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi

[@suncoolbreeze2656]

I’d like to see that too 😊

[@diggingwithdogs6850]

If your sister didn't want to start her own channel you could do some Collab videos of her doing a recipe and you doing a similar version so we get two different options. Like one chicken and one beef option of the same dish

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

@@diggingwithdogs6850 I like that idea - sounds like fun and helps remind us of ways to use what we have!

[@carolynmills513]

It would be like getting twice the videos from Becky!

[@pagirl913.]

What in the world would I ever do without Becky? I look forward to her videos so much! 🤗❤️🙏🏼

[@amyrivers4093]

I totally understand what you feel. I'm terminally ill and most of my time is having to rest in bed or on the couch. I am constantly in pain but I also have some intense pain and it's been so bad recently that I've been in tears. I find that watching Becky doing all the things that I used to dream of doing distracts me from what I'm going through. There are other channels I watch but none of them are as good as Becky.

[@WhiteRose-ii8mm]

Dear Becky, I’m persian and we use a lot of Sumac as it tastes amazing. Also NAN is a Farsi word meaning bread 😊so you were not wrong at all 🥰

[@AZJH8374]

You ran to the grocery store. BECKY'S GROCERY STORE! I love it every time you take us along shopping at YOUR grocery store. It brings me joy!!

[@roseleepastrana4020]

Becky 2 things…I heard you saying you wanted a pepper mill but didn’t want to crank all the time try The Peppermate. It’s the one Ina Garten and Jacques Pepin use and it’s great. I’ve had mine for years. The other thing is that I am in my sourdough era and I was really struggling with making my starter with no success until I saw a video of an old fashioned method that uses yogurt! I did it with a small container of Fage and after 8 months I was finally successful. Just add the yogurt, your fresh milled flour and filtered water until it’s a thick pancake batter consistency…leave it on the counter with a coffee liner on top and don’t do anything but stir it until it starts to grow. Trust me it will work! Love your videos ❤

[@Soapartisan875]

I am binge watching Becky’s older videos while healing from a complete knee replacement😊. The more I watch the hungrier I get . Everything Becky makes is so delicious ❤. I love to see your doggies in the background they are such good doggies . Thank you for sharing so much knowledge you are the best Becky .

[@lynnforrest3384]

Congrats on your TKR! I had both of my knees replaced earlier this year. Best decision ever! I have my life back. I also loved watching Becky's videos while I was recovering from surgery!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Wishing you a speedy recovery! I've been putting it off for years now and need a double replacement. My father had a knee replacement and a hip replacement and he felt it changed his life!

[@notrororo]

i was just watching the dinner video 😭 i love how consistent you are with your videos! Thank you 🥰

[@AcreHomestead]

Yay! Thank you!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I agree! She's so reliable and her videos are consistent in quality and timing. Such a hard worker and it's so appreciated!

[@Morse-t5z]

I hope she does not burn out.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

@@Morse-t5z I don't think she'd let that happen. She's a pro - been doing this as her career for a few years and knows her limits.

[@Twilson1986]

@@Morse-t5z She only films 2 days a week so she doesn't burn out. I think she films more in the spring with starting seeds and such but even then she seems so relaxed.

When grinding wheat, if you use a glass container to catch the flour it'll be less dusty. Didn't know if you knew it or not 😉

[@annettemitchell2485]

Becky, I just want to say, I admire how dedicated you are to make sure your family has wholesome fresh ingredients and hearty meals and for welcoming all of your fans into your home to show us how to prepare good meals as well. You optimize your time without taking anything away from your little family and do an amazing job. Please disregard any negative comments that are made. You are beautiful (inside and out) loving and a fantastic wife, mother, daughter, daughter-in-love and friend to everyone who knows you. Keep up the great work.

[@carolynmills513]

Girl, why wouldn't you be tired? You just got more accomplished in the kitchen than i do in a week.

[@Mamaazhiiwe]

Sumac is one of our traditional native foods and I have always been very fond of it. Sumac is especially good with maple sugar. We have always harvested our own sumac, but it can be difficult to get it at just the right time before the bugs invade. I have a feeling the ancestors were not so particular about keeping the bugs out of their food. I love that you can get it from some stores now.

[@jensissons5709]

I mill red lentils into flour and add to bread mix to make it healthier . Chick peas milled to flour adds protein too.

[@amyrivers4093]

Sumac is the only spice that I ever use. I was watching a cooking show and they sprinkled sumac on a chicken breast and then another recipe for roasted vegetables like parsnip and cauliflower roasted with sumac on it. The focus of the episode was sumac. It took a bit of researching to find the sumac as it wasn't available in most supermarkets in my country but I found an online spice store which stocked sumac and also sweet paprika which you can't get at the supermarket either. You can now get sumac in some supermarkets. I love anything that has lemon or a lemon flavour for both sweet and savory food. In the off season months in my country lemons sell for up to $US12 a kilo which I just don't have the extra money for that. So when it's the right season lemons will come down to $US4. I buy more than I need and I take the time to use a peeler to cut off the peel. If any white pith is still on the rind I take it off with a paring knife. I then dehydrate them and then most of it I turn into powder when needed. I juice the lemon and freeze it in ice cubes. I then take the pulp and freeze that as is. Sometimes, I'll cut out each wedge to freeze in some lemon juice.

[@kimi6767]

WOW!!! Your family is so blessed! Everything you do is way over the top and as long as you enjoy what you’re doing that is everything! I’m 62 and I’m cooking everything from scratch…..with no help from the hubby. Been married for 30 years, but God oh mighty I’m tired! Keep up the the work because as you get older you might want to simplify your life!

Just the video I needed. The last thing I want to do during the holidays is cook dinner after I’ve been in the kitchen all day.

Hey Becky. I got tired of cutting my hand when using my knives, mandolin and grater box. I picked up NOCRY Cutguard+ cut resistant gloves. Game changer.

[@jscasecase471]

I like to plan out my meals like you do. I laid out a couple pounds of hamburger, some roast, and a couple of different canned soup I canned myself to get things ready. Tonight I made homemade sloppy joes sauce and everyone raved about it. Said it was so much better than store bought. Roasted up some potatoes, and a couple different canned fruits. Perfect for a busy day of doctor visits. Roast and carrots for tomorrow. Thank you for inspiring me.

[@summerwindom8602]

Hey Becky, After seeing the poblano peppers I wanted to suggest chili rellenos to you. I have poblanos in my refrigerator right now for dinner tonight. Just a suggestion. Enjoy you so much. I think my husband woul leave me for you if you promised to cook for him... he just walked through and said, "no, I wouldn't leave, I just want her to send me her food. Hey, A jar of uour marinara and I would be happy." I'm a fairly decent cook and I have his heart, but I guess you have his stomach. Good luck with that Becky. He's pretty easy to please, and at 77, he eats less than he used to eat. As I write this I am giggling like a little girl. It's fun! You're fun. Keep going girlfriend, you got this!!!
