Thank you for the lovely video. It's great to see your confidence when you cook. I am wondering if you would consider moving to bees wax wrappers and reusable plastic bags. Both can be washed in a dish washer. They are a bit of a costly output but you could build your collection over time, and move away from plastic wrap, which is not good for human health and nor is it good for the earth. (you mentioned not liking teflon) . Anyway, thank you again, and just food for thought.

A little tip I learned recently! Line your glass baking dishes with foil. Add your meal and freeze it. Once it's frozen you can remove the frozen meal in one big block and wrap it up and put it back in the freezer. This is so you don't tie up all your casserole dishes in the freezer. When you're ready to cook, unwrap the meal and pop it into your baking dish. Great tip when making several casseroles for the freezer! Always enjoy your videos Becky. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦

My husband is a retired Executive Chef. He has had to send several cooks to emergency because their hand slipped off of the end of the knife and sliced their palms open! He taught me to place a pot holder or a folded bar towel over the end of the knife to protect my hand. May I humbly encourage you to do the same. I sincerely do not want to see you get hurt.

My favourite thing to make for breakfasts are egg bites. This is going to sound weird, but I crush up some garlic croutons, shred some cheese and herbs, and mix it all up with eggs.

Hey Becky if you don’t want to reheat in the microwave (sometimes reheated microwave stuff can be rubbery) try wrapping your burrito or muffin in a small sheet of tinfoil and put in your air fryer for 10 minutes at 350 or 400 depending on how your fryer cooks. The tinfoil isn’t actually necessary but it does help to keep clean up to a minimum 😁

When making eggs for english muffin or bagel sandwiches you can use wide mouth canning rings. Take ring and grease really well. Place rings in a pan and heat with the pan. When pan reaches temp.

Even young people find it very hard to cook just for 2 people. Most foods are packaged for a family size meal. We used to regularly cook for 2 or 3 days at a time just because a normal package of meat makes sooo much chili or spaghetti. Lots of younger people choose quick foods because they just are stretch thin. Working 60 hours a week plus traveling time to and from work leaves little time for normal household work like cooking and cleaning. I used to leave before 7 am and get home after 7 pm. It doesn't leave much time for the rest of life unfortunately.

One thing she did teach me though was to bulk purchase things like meat (we only shopped once a month), take it home and repackage in the size I need before putting it in the freezer. After I moved out on my own I just made the packages smaller. You can do that with almost anything. 😊

@@michellezevenaar we always repackaged in zip lock bags. They aren't good for long term but great for a couple months or so. I have a food saver now and that will keep it from freezer burn for over 2 years if you ever wanted to take it that far (or lost something in the bottom of the freezer for a while 😅). I can alot of meats now so they're ready to go when I want them. We had a regular rotation of meals with some different things thrown in for extra variety or based on the time of the year and availability of some ingredients. I wouldn't start with an entire month if you're not used to it and buying that much at once will feel like a fortune if you're not used to it. Also, if you can get things in bulk, you can get a little extra each time and have some put up for later. And, I forgot to say, if you do freezer meals like Becky you can cook a larger pack at once and put in in different meals for later. I just found some glass dishes on clearance yesterday so I can try that too!😊

Becky I wish you would have asked about the best waffle maker. The Waring Pro is by far the best waffle maker on the market. Makes beautiful waffles. I got my double Waring waffle maker on Facebook market place for $15.00. My daughter always makes waffles and freezes them for the kids. I gave her my grandmothers recipe for waffles and she never tried it until two years ago. She tried it finally and said she would never use any other recipe. It takes 12 eggs. And you whip your egg whites separately and fold them in. Worth the extra little work. I have had many brands of waffle iron over the years and even the American test kitchen says the Waring Pro is the best. Since 6our going to get a different iron I thought I’d give you my experience.

@@MISNM0 I have hated oatmeal my entire life, too slimy, lol. My mom stopped trying to make me eat them when I was 7. But, I have also wanted to eat a healthier breakfast. I started doing the overnight oats a couple of months ago and I love it. They soak up the milk over night but don't get slimy and I can add what ever I want when I make them (I make them 2 at a time) or add just before I eat it. It also means I have it to grab and go on my way out the door to work.😊

Making big batches and freezing it. Other things i make for breakfast and lunch boxes are banana bread "cupcakes", cheeze muffins, mini pizzas, chicken wraps and mini pies.

One of my FAVORITE meal prep hacks is to get some dinner rolls from the store and slice the whole set in half. Since they're stuck to each other, you can get a slab for the top and slab for the bottom, and then you can basically make one big sandwich in a 9x13 pan and cut out the individual sandwiches you want during the week. I have made breakfast sandwiches like this and some chickpea mash sandwiches. Since the rolls are small, I find 2 of the sandwiches makes a good lunch along with some veggies and chips.

@EvanC8812 жыл бұрын
Put in a bowl drained & rinsed canned chickpeas (I try to rub off as many of the skins as I can but it's tedious), mayonnaise, mustard, salt, & pepper. Mash together in a bowl. Add other spices and ingredients as desired. This is a "clean out the fridge" recipe for me - if I have a random unused carrot or half a cucumber, it gets diced very fine and mixed in. I've also put in minced onion, minced pickled jalapeños, etc. Treat it like a chicken salad sandwich if you like. Ratios of all the ingredients are to desired taste and texture. I like things to be about egg salad consistency.

Unfortunately not all women can even if they want to so definitely spend some time before delivery reading and preparing to give yourself the best chance for success. And definitely don't stress if it doesn't work, a feed health baby is all that matters.

@@nadiacruel99I'm a lot like Becky and I'm experimental and I don't follow recipes. Let's see...I would start with a bit thinner/quicker moving batter. Maybe with a typical brownie batter as a baseline...go less flour and add some coconut milk or even a little coke or root beer. If you added soda pop or la croix...the bubbles would reduce the need for any sort of leavening (baking soda or powder). I would experiment with a sheet pan in the oven before you adapt it for waffle iron. Pour it thin in the pan. Bake it lower temp and longer time so it comes out dry and crunchy. You could also try that recipe in a crepe pan. I don't know how picky you are to try new things and expect certain results.

The Double makes two at once, you can customize how light or dark they get and the waffles are nice and thick with deep waffle print. Making two at once when trying to feed a crowd really comes in handy. I have never gotten uneven cooking and it comes with a scoop so you get just the right amount in each waffle. Highly recommend!

Regarding waffle makers - I saw on a food show one time where they took leftover Thanksgiving stuffing and put it in the waffle maker to make 4 crispy squares of stuffing, then put on plates and topped each with mashed potatoes and gravy, and turkey pieces, and maybe a dollop of cranberry relish. Another idea is to put shredded hash browns in the maker for crispy potato squares.

Becky, can you try the tip where you put a wet paper towel out when you cut onions to see if it helps you not cry? The tip is you’re supposed to put a wet paper towel on the cutting board and the chemicals from the onions are drawn to the water in that, rather than your eyes. I’ve seen this claim before, but I always wondered if it really worked. If it works for you I would TOTALLY trust it!! Thanks for these recipes - can’t wait to try them - the baked oatmeal is a huge favorite in our house now!!!

Hi Becky. I have a tip for eggs for your muffin sandwiches. You can try either of these methods to make it go faster and easier. 1) you can grease up and/or line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and break your eggs directly onto the cookie sheet and bake them. It generally works better if you have enough eggs to fill up the sheet. Bake them at 325-350 until desired doneness. For me it takes about 15 minutes or so. Then you can use a cookie cutter to cut the eggs to size and slip them right onto your sandwiches. OR 2) You can bake them in a muffin tin. Either way they are faster and easier to deal with for me. When I use the cookie sheet method I like to use up the leftover cooked egg white in things like potato or macaroni salad. I'm grateful for all these videos you put out here for us. Blessings to you and yours.

A trick to stainless steel is keeping it around medium and letting it heat up for quite a bit. If you dip your fingers in water and splash into the pan and it fizzles and evaporates it means it isn’t ready. Same if it just keeps the water there and then evaporates. Once you splash and it makes little water beads and they roll around in balls, you know the pan is just right! Add a little butter or oil and pop your eggs in! You can do scrambled eggs as well. That’s when you know it’s nonstick! I just learned this as I hated using my stainless steel for so long. But now, I LOVE it and they’re nonstick! You can also season them, similar to a cast iron, though a slightly different process. KZbin has tons of videos on it.
