Awesome video as Always! Love how you make up recipes on the fly! A little off topic... what ever happened to your wooden egg holder that was on the counter on your older videos?

[@dlsdyer9071]

Dehydrating mushroom slices, then pulverizing them before use adds flavor without the texture issue. They can also be used as a gluten free thickener for any dish needing an umami (sp?) flavor.

[@sherrymiller4069]

How long do the pickled red onions last? Love your videos!

[@patresmini5383]

Hi Becky! Great video as always. Can you tell me about that giant spring and cap you used to ferment onions? I want to start fermenting but don’t want to invest a lot of money on equipment before I know if I want to pursue it. Will you be doing more fermenting or any videos on it in the future? I’ve seen your kombucha video and I feel the same way about sauerkraut, but I do eat an Asian fermented bean and chili product that I purchase for the gut benefits. It always makes me smile to watch one of your videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious and if I had half your energy I could rule the world, LOL. Be well, God bless and stay safe.

Oh, and Dad will eat leftovers now. He really preferred not to in the season of life when I was home raising kids, but when I went back to working in the dental office after everyone was grown, it was left overs if he wanted home made. Susan, Becky’s Mom

When I was sick as a child my mom used to build me a pillow fort under the kitchen table and I would watch her cook and do all her magic.

Can I just say… I really appreciate 40 minute Becky videos! Enough is just never enough haha 🥰 you’re rocking this challenge, girl!

[@AcreHomestead]

Yay! Thank you!

[@Mrsbryan907]

Also, when it comes to quinoa… rinsing it until the water runs clear helps with any bitter taste that may be present 😊 lots of grass fed butter, salt and Kerry gold cheese is wonderful on quinoa! Plus some sort of garlic vinaigrette!

[@ilkthefirst5353]

@@Mrsbryan907 I use kinoa for making breakfast just like oats. Boil it with some water or milk just for 10 minutes, bring it to simmer and wait with the lid on for 10 more minutes. Add some fruit like bananas and apples maybe berries and cinnamon, nuts, almonds, dried fruit, raisins, honey or molasses or syrup. It is filling and takes away the blandness of it.

[@susanjones3177]

I’m making stroganoff tomorrow too! Thanks for reminding me how much we love it! Susan, Becky’s Mom!

[@haleyleach6165]

Hi Susan! I've only recently come upon Becky's page and I'm hooked! You two remind me of myself and my mother, in the kitchen! I love it. I'm catching up on old videos and was wondering of you knew what kind of Egg noodles Becky (or yourself) used here? They kinda look like a flat, long noodle and I love switching my pastas and recipes around! Thanks so much. Definitely a fan! 💜

[@StefFrederick]

She has fully inspired me in a long lasting way to enjoy cooking and providing for my household. It had always been a battle and something i dread to do. She makes the skill, intelligence, and caring behind it so evident that i truly realized the pride in keeping people fed and now all of a sudden I'm cooking gladly. Thank you Becky!!!

[@tumblertime368]

[@mush3199]

Ok…so I just read all the comments and am surprised that nobody mentioned that quinoa needs to be rinsed very well before you cook it. Unlike grains it has something called saponins on it and really doesn’t taste that good with it on (kinda like soap if cooked in water). It also has a strong possibility of causing tummy upset

[@jennbasil]

^^ this

[@angelas_pantry_obsession]

I was watching and literally said out loud "On no, rinse it first" I also much prefer Quino plain so it can take on the flavor of what your topping it with. It's versatile that way and I can use it in several dishes the week I make it in bulk. Also the red quinoa is my favorite. Becky there are recipes to incorporate into rather than as a rice alternative, that might also be a good way for you to test it and use it up

[@heathholt2061]

I am shocked by this! I am living in south America now and no one ever rinses it, and it's a south American product! I will have to try this!

[@melissapayne6287]

I was just looking through the comments to see if anyone had mentioned this yet. I couldn’t believe the difference after I learned about rinsing it. Now I love it.

[@tamararoberts9307]

I didn't know this, thx for the tip

[@theblacksheepgardener]

I had a thought when you mentioned not being able to buy fresh herbs through the pantry challenge, that if you have seeds on hand, you could try microgreens or sprouts of your favorite herbs. They grow super fast and don't have to take up very much space. PS I love your content and congratulations on being able to go full time! So excited for you =)

[@tammyfarrar288]

I grew 20 some spaghetti squash and after one little one rotted I roasted and froze them all in qt freezer bags and it's been convenient. My family is also participating in the challenge . we are almost out of cheese which is no problem for me but my 4 children really enjoy. We might buy some soon. Still cleaning out the freezers. 30 days since our last shopping trip .

As Romanians, we pickle a mix of vegetables together, like tiny cucumbers, onions, carrots and cauliflower and let me tell you, they are amazing! They work especially great when you have more hearthier meals, like during the winter, but they're definitely good with bbq as well! You should give it a go! You can always fine recipes online and in case you can't find them in English, I can help you translate!

[@NextStepNavigators]

Love using "leftover" proteins for other dishes...It's so efficent.

So glad I found your channel. Having foot surgery in two weeks and you inspired me to meal prep today so I’ll have plenty of food while I’m recovering. Thanks, Becky!

[@nancymiller6788]

Hi Becky. Watched your Oreo video recently & heard you mention not wanting to use flour to roll out your dough. I always just sift a little cocoa powder on rolling surface or to "flour" cake pans when I'm working with a chocolate dough.

[@AcreHomestead]

Great tip!

[@desert_moon]

Works for choc cakes too!

[@melanieortiz712]

[@shannoneg2000]

For your spaghetti squash, I highly recommend making a casserole sometime! I made out a clean out the fridge casserole recently with half a jar of white sauce, a bit of heavy cream to stretch the sauce, chicken, spinach and a little bit of mushroom. There was mozzarella and parmesan too. It was DELIGHTFUL! I've been really motivated lately by your videos to preserve and use my food better to reduce food waste. Thanks for all you do!

[@erinb.5103]

Becky, one of my favorite but simplest ways to enjoy spaghetti squash is bake it then scoop it out in a casserole dish with onions butter egg, and cheddar cheese and bake it for about half an hour on 350. Best squash casserole ever.

[@tumblertime368]

I need to try this, thanks for the idea ❤️

[@Aphira-0]

I love watching your cooking videos because it instills cooking confidence in me. I have been cooking for YEARS and I still doubt myself if I go "off recipe." But last night I wanted to make a fried rice and I wasn't into any of the recipes I found. So I just picked random ingredients from the cabinet and veggies that were going to go bad soon and made up my own measurements. My boyfriend said it was the best fried rice he's ever had, so thanks for instilling the confidence to just wing it

[@AcreHomestead]

That is awesome!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I’m that type of cook as well, totally opposite of Becky. She helps me have more confidence as well.

[@divas2557]

@Aphira do not doubt yourself, just have fun when creating your dishes you'll love them most times. Only with baking you need to try to follow recipes. You've got this

[@leocookie9908]

If you want to try out more fermented dishes i HIGHLY recommend trying out/looking up kimchi, its a korean delicacy served as a side dish with literally everything It is packed with flavor and spice and adds an incredible layer of depth to any dish! (Would also recommend checking out how they're made regardless of if you're interested in making them or not because its a really cool process to see)

For spaghetti squash I do freezer spaghetti squash “lasagna.” I add cooked squash mixed with butter, Parmesan, and an egg to the bottom of a 9 by 13. Then spread seasoned ricotta on top of the squash. Then a final layer of marinara with ground beef. Top with mozzarella 👍 Love ur channel- I made homemade gluten free bread crumbs with the heels of my bread loaf. This is a big deal because I am typically a pretty big food waster 😕

I just want to say that you should mix your quinoa with other ingredients like lentils, bulgur, carrots, rice etc.... it's delicious My family are originated from Morocco, it's an amazing country with an amazing cuisine. You should try to make a tajine with chicken (it's with onion, green olive, saffron, paprika, cumin, black pepper, potato, parsley or coriander, chicken) so yummy🤤😍 you should give it a try. I also want to say that I'm huge fan of gochugaru (Korean chilli flakes) and you should try gochujang (korean chilli paste) it tastes amazing if you cook Asian curry. Sorry for my English it's not the best. Thank you for your video and for your energy and enthusiasm. I love it❤ Love from France and Morocco

Becky, I want to tell you that your seasoned salt has been absolutely wonderful IMO. I made some and then have been using it. I put in less actual salt than the other spices, but it has made such a difference. I can't believe how much energy you have to do everything, but there are many years in age different from you and me. Thank you for brightening my days.

[@Miacarina]

Really enjoyed the way you created the casserole. Not doing the pantry challenge myself, but I try to keep an eye on expiration dates and move "should be used soon" items to a separate shelf. And then type combinations that might go well together into google and see what comes up for ideas and then try to be creative with what I have.

You make us laugh and my Mother always wonders if you have "sit down time" . Love your energy !

[@melanies6610]

Love your channel Becky! You’re always so inspiring and make things seem doable. Great video!

[@robertboone7860]

I have been stocking up on the Thrive freeze dried foods for the times when I don't feel like going to the store but need a quick meal on the table! It is a great supplement to what I already have in the fridge, deep freeze and pantry

[@angelas_pantry_obsession]

I love Thrive. I became s consultant to get discounts lol. I've never even told anyone I know about it, I just like the savings. I often will use it for single serving lunches or dinners of stuff my family doesn't eat but I enjoy

[@MsCjgibson]

Becky, if you add quinoa to a salad it soaks up the dressing and it’s nice and fluffy and delicious!

[@simplyculinaryoutdoorpleas2272]

Dear Becky. I Love your Channel. You we're asking about what a caper is. It ist basically the blossom from the caper plant before they Bloom that gets pickled. After the capers comes the caper apples which are the caper fruits. They are also pickled and the plant itself grows in brick Walls everywhere in southern countries Like Italy or Spain. I Hope this Info is helpful for you...

[@suenewson997]

Becky you are a star and I'm so glad you quit ya full time job,so we can see more video's and learn lots of new stuff x🇬🇧

[@minifarmwife6753]

I never liked sauerkraut until we made it at home. I always thought I wasn't a fan, I'd begrudgingly eat it once a year on New Years day and "suffer" through the experience and then I had extra cabbage from the farmers market bc it was a great deal and my husband loves sauerkraut...well I made it and begrudgingly tried it. I'm totally in love with sauerkraut now. It just has to be mine. The canned stuff from the store just does not cut it for me. If you've never made it at home, it's worth a shot to try.

[@angelas_pantry_obsession]

This is literally me! My husband loves it and I cannot stand it. I fermented homemade as a gift to him after watching Mary on Mary's Nest. I of course had to try it and I loved it!!! I also love to fry it for my Reubens.

[@kittychronister3537]

Thank you for sharing your journey. I've learned so much and am excited to try a garden for the first time. I've been using my Pantry and dinner ever night has been exciting. It's been an adventure.

[@AcreHomestead]

Yay!!

[@dianneD27]

I love it when I see you have uploaded ! My iPad notes is jammed full of your easy to do recipes. Thank you for everything you put below your videos , it makes it so easy with all the links . Xx

[@miss24]

Becky!! I had such a busy day so when I settled for the night I was so excited that you had a video up. I Love your channel!! You are so relatable and love love spending time with you in your kitchen. Love all your recipes. I make you rolls several times a week and now cinnamon rolls at least once a week! Thank You!!

[@karetoev4999]

I like your energy and efficiency. Truly I do. To be perfectly honest though, I've heard you say "I bought every last one of them" many times, leaving none for people coming behind you. I have come in behind people who do that, who can afford to do that, people who may only be able to afford one of them, but there are none left because people stockpile.

[@mollycatcolorado9252]

I love having leftovers but your idea of “meal prepping” sounds like such a game changer! Definitely need to try doing this.

[@Supergace1234]

If I had to pick ANYONE to watch it would always be you! If you were the only creator I could ever watch, I’d still love it!!

[@racheladkins2295]

Love your videos. Your personality is so engaging. Please post more!!!

[@maribethlowe8345]

I "save" these videos to watch on Friday night. Hard to resist watching them when posted but it is a relaxing way to end the week. Plus I work on my menu for the week!

[@erinbutler9281]

Was anyone else yelling “Becky! Put in the garlic!” Multiple times? Hehe everything looks delicious!

[@danniemcdonald7675]

I love my "planned overs"! I keep different meal components in the freezer to throw together at the last minute.

[@rebeccadunk9083]

I love watching you prep, can, cook, etc like it’s just no big deal. Gives me hope. I also appreciate that I know what ALL the ingredients are and can get them easily. Pretty sure no pantry challenge for me, but a meal on the table a few times a week would be great.

[@starrhume4270]

Thoroughly enjoy watching you. Your energy is amazing. When you were fermenting I thought you might be interested in Simple Alaska. The do lots of it & other from scratch foods.

[@samanthaw1419]

I love Simple living Alaska, they work very hard. I'm veggie, but love watching them cook.

[@nataliekirby8959]

Love the meal prepping instead of left overs. I have a cookbook called Cook Once Eat All Week and it’s such a great way to repurpose foods in different ways. I got mine at the library to see if I liked the recipes before I bought it to have. Love all the meals you make everything I’ve tried from your site has been a hit in my house.

[@topherjoe1]

Decided on a form of breakfast casserole for my eating this week, transitioning back to keto for health reasons, those casseroles are a lifesaver, everything you need to thrive and instant gratification and no decisions on what to cook when you are hungry. Prepped my meats so I would be ready to incorporate into the next casserole.

[@heatherj3030]

Becky, try growing cilantro in the cooler times of year. I've never been successful growing it until this fall/winter. I've always tried it in the late spring, but I just tossed a bunch of seed in my garden late fall/early winter and I've had cilantro growing everywhere! I'm in Bakersfield California, and we do get freezing temperatures, but not too much below freezing. I just tossed some more cilantro seeds out for an early spring crop. I hope this helps, because I know the feeling of thinking I couldn't grow cilantro, and it's definitely my favorite herb!😊

[@DishingDelights]

I was laughing out loud at the yogurt saga!! 🤣 Every single recipe looked delicious, you are one talented woman!

[@MsApril29906]

You are ridiculously photogenic, funny as heck with your little noises, and I adore you! Your videos have been a lifesaver for many of us. So, as Justin Rhodes’ grandmother always said: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[@TMesser74]

I’ve been binge watching your videos and already made two of your freezer meals with lis canned one. I’ve always wanted to cook in bulk so we are tempted less to eat out and your videos are giving me that encouragement and guidance. Love your recipes and organization!

[@papasbackyardgarden2564]

My wife is officially hooked on the pantry challenge. It's a great way to cycle out the older foods. She saw the "gadget" you used for opening the lids on the canned jars. Help... I can't seem to find it anywhere!!! Thank you, I also enjoyed your channel. looking forward to more.

[@Erika-vj5sy]

You will make a wonderful mom one day, if having children is something you guys want of course! Love watching you!

[@tricianm6213]

Now she is pregnant!! She will make a great Mom 😁❤️

[@giav6363]

The first time I tried quinoa I found it to be really bitter. Now I toast the quinoa in the oven before cooking and it removes the bitterness and gives it a nice nutty flavor. My 2 favorite recipes for quinoa are quinoa, veggie and bean burger patties or quinoa tabbouleh. Becky you may fall in love with both recipes if you try :)

[@alinewright1093]

I was told to rinse the Quinoa in a bowl of water rubbing the grains together 3 times to get the bitter flavor off. It works

[@ALee-xf2vm]

Many people (myself included) do not like quinoa by itself. I have found that adding it into other dishes is the best way to eat it, as I can add it to rice (you could have done half and half or mostly rice with 1/4 or 1/3 quinoa), soups, chili, lasagna, spaghetti, etc. The list is very long of things you can add it to. I don't even notice it in most dishes and it adds great nutrition without even really being noticeable. When adding it to cold dishes, such as potato salad, you would want to cook it beforehand and cool it, but usually any hot dishes it can just be tossed in when cooking.

[@mangopuppybaby]

You are so encouraging and inspiring. You are peaceful but upbeat at the same time. You are a natural teacher. I look forward to your container garden tips! I love your channel. Thank you for your heard work.

[@tammyr2966]

Everything looks delicious! I’m definitely going to make the chicken piccata! I want to try to make the pickled onions too! I also need to make those enchiladas for a freezer meal and some other meals, as I get really tired some days and just want something easy! Thanks for sharing your week! We’ve been doing our own pantry challenge as well! It feels good to not go to the store!

[@marlyneash8312]

Yes girly I totally agree on prepping the extra meat. I love to prep ground meat and shredded chicken for quick weeknight meals for the family. Def a time saver ☺️

[@hannahkayee831]

Yaaaay! Was hoping you would post so I had something to clean my kitchen to. Going to make the pickled red onions as soon as I'm done with cleaning the kitchen, they are one of my favorite things on tacos.

[@tiffanyholman4028]

This was the best part of my day. I'm home sick today, and I swear your bubbly personality and creativity brightened up my day. Everything looks great, and you did such a good job utilizing all the food that you worked so hard to grow.

[@lisaleidall5932]

You are rocking this pantry challenge! How exciting about creating a Logo!! Your dogs' head tilts...😍😍 adorable. I love how you guys came up with Tibro's name. I starting reading "America's Test Kitchen Cookbook" last night, and I beared our frigid cold temps today to stop by our local dollar store to check on their garden supplies. I bought 12 seed packets for only $3! I had previously ordered seeds in early December from Johnny's, which were a pretty penny. From the dollar store I also bought some small garden containers and a few garden tools. I'm looking forward to my very first garden this year, and the container garden challenge! My arsenal is growing, I'm growing, you're growing, we're growing- and I just want to thank you for that and for sharing your knowledge and time with us. Lots of love, (and warm Spring thoughts) from MN.

[@samanthabradley4699]

Have you watched Off Grid with Doug and Stacy? Stacy does a ton of fermenting. Definitely a wealth of knowledge.

[@loribillings3810]

Becky there has not been a video you have filmed that I haven't enjoyed. You are such a great teacher with so many helpful tips on very thing. Your fur babies are the cutest 😍
