[@spfisterer3651]

For someone I've never met, we are sure spending lot of time together... Thank you so much Becky

[@cpalmer7686]

I found her a couple or years ago and I'm with you. I feel like she's a great teacher.

[@shellyjonesmzmisfit5705]

Lol for real. Just love her to death

[@aliceagoddard7219]

So agree with all of you. I look forward to when my notification goes off!! Love you Becky.

[@Jstblondie]

I’ve been watching this KZbin channel for about a year. One of the top I watch on the regular. Becky does an outstanding job with her content!

[@thediannev]

😂 same here!

[@JessicaSwanson10]

Hey! For the spiral hair ties, once they stretch out you can put them in very hot water and they will shrink back!

[@marciefort2904]

After I put them in hot water I then quickly put them under cold water when they shrink back and they stay!

[@Coveredinbees93]

I love these hair ties! I have hair down to my knees so I have to put it up every night or it tries to strangle me and these were the best solution I had found. I didn't know this trick I just rotated through 30 of them and by the time I came back to the first one it was back in shape so thank you for this tip!!

[@spontaneousun]

You can also use a hair dryer to shrink them back and they also make thicker ones for thicker hair! I get the “power” strength ones from invisibobble and they don’t stretch out as much :)

[@jenniferr2057]

BLESS YOU!

[@make.do.mending]

I paused the video to make sure someone had added this tip! Love the idea of shocking them under cold afterwards too

[@rhondalaux1519]

I think what I MOST admire about Becky is how calm and positive she is! You make cooking and baking look so easy. I really really struggle I want and need to be my biggest cheerleader. I’m so darn impressed with your positivity. I’ve said it before I’ll say it again you are such a kind gentle old soul🥰🥰

[@TwistinTops1]

I know this may sound weird but it just makes my whole day when I see Becky. I’m disabled and live alone with my dogs. They keep me from feeling lonely but Becky feels like I’ve got a real friend! Thank you for being you! 💜

[@AcreHomestead]

Aw I'm honored you watched them! Thanks so much

[@sherylbrown6943]

It’s not weird at all honey . She is our friend and all of Becky’s you tube family are here for you .❤

[@BooBel949]

Agreed. She is a real tonic. ❤

[@mrFslim]

Hey Beckie, you can freeze the lemon curd. I am a Baker and I freeze mine all the time. Let it defrost at room temperature it doesn't change the texture or taste. 😊

[@hdavis1291]

That's good to know, I just pulled lemons and started processing, so I'll ad curd to my preservation.

[@mrFslim]

@@hdavis1291 yes, put it in a food container. Before closing the lid apply cling film to contact and then close it and freeze it. 👍🏼

[@debrareed6915]

Thank you

[@sarahp7749]

The recipe is in the All New Ball Book of Canning and Preserving, page 328 It uses 6 lemons, or so, to make 2 half-pint jars. Then it is frozen. It's pretty good stuff.

[@williamsfamily3939]

Lemon curd is as much about the eggs as the lemons, Becky. It takes surprisingly little juice actually. So you may want to wait until your girls are laying more eggs! 😊

[@Meggs23]

Becky, since you like Asian food, you might also shop at a local Asian market. I'm also on the West coast and we have many. It supports your local community, not just big box stores like Costco and it expands your range of food. They have LOTS of fresh noodle choices. You can make 'take out' for a fraction of the cost! ❤

I agree. There's also probably a Mexican grocer there too. I'd be going spice crazy... LOL

[@jenniferr2057]

And, at least in the Midwest, they are super cheap!

[@tiff2106]

Same for Germany, the meat and frozen fish is also super affordable and the meat and produce is always super fresh and much cheaper than the supermarket. The meat is just in plastic bags but I’ve never had a miss there.

[@DCARA06]

Yes!! so much good stuff in there. I get intimidated (just cause I don't know what a lot of the stuff is and I feel out of place) when I go but I still do.

[@painiacs83]

I miss my Asian markets very much. I have to get family send care packages but I miss fresh stuff!!

[@virginiaquintal]

The ball canning book has a recipe for lemon curd, and it is absolutely delicious

[@mooeysmom]

Ok this is my first time commenting on your videos although I am a loyal follower of yours. Since I have started watching your videos I have stepped out of my comfort zone and have made several of your recipes. My newest venture is making homemade vanilla extract. You have so much energy and when I watch you on the weekends you motivate me to get up off my butt and stop being lazy, lol. Thank you Becky!!!

[@AcreHomestead]

Wow that is amazing!! Thanks so much!!

[@mooeysmom]

No thank you.

[@sarad2083]

That's awesome! Vanilla was the first thing I did. Then after a year I realized I didnt use the right bean grade and had to get the right ones. Took about a year and a half to finally be able to use it but so worth it 😊

[@roxannelarson6185]

I followed many recipes and they all said use vodka which I did. Then I saw Becky's and she mentioned spiced rum and bourbon. My mind went into overdrive with the possibilities and flavor tones that would produce! Oh my gosh! Saving up for more beans and alcohol. Budget!!! But so glad I saw that video. Holiday gifts are in my future.@@sarad2083

[@judybroyles1746]

I have marinate chicken freezer meals. Cooked them on my indoor grill. Turned out awesome. Love watching when you do freezer meals.

[@LuNa4Death]

Quick tip for those hair ties to save you having to buy new ones because they stretched out! Just put on the kettle 2 cups of water and boil it. Add your stretched out scrunchies to a heat proof cup or bowl (cover with water completely) and pour the freshly boiled water on them. Then like magic they are no longer strechted out! Just take them out with some tongs or chopstics (they'll be warm) and leave them to dry/cool on a paper towel. Once completely cooled on their own they're all set to go!🎉

[@tammymanuel9158]

Wow! That is interesting. I have never heard of that. I always thought that when elastic is stretched out it will not go back to normal. I may try that with a few of mine that are kinda stretched out.

[@LuNa4Death]

@@tammymanuel9158 it all depends on the way the elastic was formed. They specifically make these with a polymerization technique that heats to form the curls. So by reheating it puts the elastic back into place...or something like that. All I know is I saved money and get to keep using my cute hairties haha

[@softpencil8738]

Ummm….or wash them with your laundry like any normal person should do?

[@lindastent-campbell5130]

​@softpencil8738 umm, who on earth puts plastic hair ties in the laundry?

[@racheloram]

Homemade lemon curd is suuuuper easy. It's always in a jar in the UK, both shop-bought, artisan-made and homemade

[@leanneschultz4752]

I love when you take us along, it’s fun to get out of the kitchen/garden!

[@amberthistle2803]

A lil tip for the propane. If you take it somewhere that actually refills the tank you already have it's sooo much cheaper than taking it somewhere where you exchange the entire tank. We go to our local Tractor Supply Co and it's a quarter of the price than any place else in our area.

[@setapart6937]

My gas station down the road from refills propane tanks and you’re right, it’s significantly cheaper.

[@CuteKat111]

Totally agree, I pay half as much going to a place that refills propane tanks😊

Hi Becky. As someone who suffered from dry and chapped lips for most of my twenties (I'm now 54), I'd like to tell you that I was using a minty lip balm for absolutely ages. I was then told (by a dermatologist) that you are not supposed to put anything minty on your lips as it dries them out and irritates more than most other items. Being Swedish, I moved to the UK in 1998 so could no longer buy my absolute favourite lip balm (which is Försvarets Hudsalva - if you can find it in the US, I'd recommend you buy it) but I am currently using Elizabeth Arden's 18H lip balm and also Nuxe Honey Lip Balm. I can see in this video that your lips are chapped and I also know that you made some minty lip balms for yourself (and also gifted some). Please try lip balms without any mint in them and see how you get on. X

[@heatherpfeil2939]

I just refreshed hoping to see a new video and here it is! Thanks for keeping me company while I cook, and put away laundry. Love having you keep me motivated friend!

[@louiseingleton9485]

I just did exactly the same 😊

[@lildebra7941]

Me too

[@101handbags101]

It’s been three weeks since I went to the grocery store and I’m honestly having so much fun planning meals on what’s in my freezer and pantry. Tonight I made dinner completely out of my home canned foods (except rice and fresh carrots): Cajun Red Beans and rice, corn, fresh carrots and fruit cocktail. I feel like a pioneer! 😂

[@pamalbert9430]

Hello Ms Becky! Think about adding Peanuts and Parsnips to your garden this year! 😊 I make sweet green corn tamales every year around Christmas. Just make sure to spread your masa thin. They freeze great too!

[@AcreHomestead]

Peanut seeds have already been order! I can't wait

​@@AcreHomesteadMy mom and I grew peanuts years ago (zone 4-5)... we experimented a lot! They took a long time to grow, but we were successful.

[@JustMe-oi9ms]

@@AcreHomesteadI don’t know if much citrus grows in your area Becky but something to think about… when you see lemons on sale in bulk make lemon juice/ice cubes for your freezer for future use. I have dwarf lemon, lime, navel orange and ruby red grapefruit trees in my back yard and I had so much abundance I was able to give to family, friends and neighbors! Such a blessing🙏🏼

[@judithburke1539]

You can also freeze lemon zest. I haven't tried to freeze lemon zest in the juice, but when you use juice, you often use zest too. This might ght worth a try.

[@NancyMestas-gj9cm]

I have been cleaning out areas of my kitchen..so far the pantry..spice cabinet,reorganized all my pans and baking sheets. Two boxes of donations ready to go, next will be going through my clothes and linen closet. Thank you so much for always being so encouraging

[@BrandyDurham-gd2ob]

Hi Becky! Thank you for your videos. I’ve done so many recipes and gotten so much good info from watching you! I appreciate all your hard work! Howdy from Texas!

[@SandyJBerry]

Now that you're purchasing makeup on this video, it gives me the opportunity to ask you about the organic makeup that you & your mother bought last year (I think at a homesteading conference?). I'm assuming that you're no longer using it? I've been debating on trying it, but seem to keep getting makeup from a box store. So, do you still like the organic makeup (I can't remember the brand), or do you prefer what you bought today? Thanks in advance for your input. 🙂

[@ZeeS3313]

I am so curious how you go about filming in the stores! These are the things I think about lol, are the interactions awkward or are they fine once you tell them they aren’t in it, etc. love your videos!

[@amandalynn1480]

Thank you for sharing your pantry challenge with us Becky. I am not in a place to do a pantry challenge this year as I am on a limited diet, but I love following along with all of these pantry challenge videos. Good luck!

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

I’m so excited for the tamales! Such a great use for lard.

[@melindawargowsky8176]

Please stop looking at stuff at Costco. I ended up getting the Ninja crockpot after your last trip😅

[@pamelar5868]

😂😂😂😂❤

[@cindycompton7361]

Pantry challenge is using what you have, not shopping for more.

[@wendyarrayga3465]

Hi Becky 👋 I love your videos they are so informative and interesting. I love to cook and garden 😊 just like you !

[@brittni827]

We picked up 2 of the pork loins, portioned them into chops and roasts for the freezer. Such a great addition to our larder

[@lisakallunki5042]

I have to tell you that learning from you to make garlic pucks to have in the freezer has been a game changer! I was tell some friends about it last weekend and their jaws literally dropped and they said it is a GENIUS idea!

[@Lisa_B.-1989]

I have the exact same story!

[@ElaineR.-ft6tu]

Last week I was in a local store. In the freezer they had a small package of garlic puck, already made. I was thrilled, and last night we had company, and I used two garlic pucks for my pasta dish. They could not stop raving about the pasta. I was thrilled. I always have a tendency to try a new dish on company and one day it’s going to backfire. So far, so good. Now, I didn’t make them, but I did get the idea from Becky. So, thanks so much.

[@roxannelarson6185]

I want to have this in my repertoire for sure. I just get excited whenever she uses them I can't imagine how much I'll enjoy my own.

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Hi Becky, I love shopping with you. You have inspired me to check my Frig and pantry first then meal plan before shopping. This has saved me so much money. Thank you for sharing your tips on planning and shopping. You and your channel are a blessing.

[@Bananananapancake]

Just got off work when this dropped! Can’t wait to settle in at home and watch! Love watching these videos when I relax

[@lovetodrag1290]

Hello Becky I have been using Almay makeup for years it’s a great product and very easy on the budget. I really enjoy your videos. So happy you are feeling better. Best wishes for the New Year

[@busybearcrafts8553]

My four year old son loves u Becky! This is our conversation while i’m trying to cook. As soon as i played the video: Mama please can you sit down so we can watch her together, I like her. Ok Honey, one second let me get this ready. I turned around and he’s sitting down with my phone on his side of the counter, watching the video 😂

[@sharlenedegazon-legay9746]

Great,an evening spent with Becky shopping! Bonus,Becky making on of her delicious dinners! ❤❤❤

[@tamararobinson2069]

What happened to you using the natural make-up - Toupes? I believe if you’re going to show a product you might want to give your opinion or thoughts on it. I’m now thinking it’s not good because your using grocery store makeup…..

[@tammycope3145]

I love shopping with you Becky! Such a fun day!

[@Paperworms2nd]

You never talk about your baby or making baby food? Are you making that from scratch as well? Why not share a few recepies?

[@pamelar5868]

Love shopping trips with you, Becky! ❤

[@Madison-u4e7z]

Hey Becky, HELP! Can I make hoagie rolls and/or hamburger buns out of your 1 hr bread roll recipe? Me and my husband tried the recipe the other night and well let me say it was absolutely delicious!!!! And that is an understatement. Thank you for taking the time to read this! 😊

[@marlynejoiner7808]

You asked what pots and pans we use. When my 55 year old son was one year old, my husband and I bought lifetime waterless stainless steel cookware. I have always done home cooking from scratch, so my pots and pans have been used a lot. I really like them, the only other pan I use is my black cast iron, love it! Just a side note, if you burn anything in the stainless, simmer baking soda for several minutes and that really helps loosen the burnt on grime. Here’s a funny for you, I have to admit, one time I burned popcorn so bad, it took me three days to get the pot clean. No way was I going to throw away my expensive pot!

[@sarahnormally5508]

Freeze dried ginger is amazing!

You can freeze lemons and limes whole and just thaw them the day before to use in a recipe. They literally taste the same. I would have bought like 20 a piece at least and froze them. We use a lot of both!

[@MandaPandaBailey]

We've been under the weather and it is so nice to relax for a bit and watch this. 😌

[@territurner4115]

Great video Becky. Makeup stresses me out too!! Maybe silly question, but I've wondered for a while...do you ever wear your hair down? I'm guessing it's really pretty. Your Mom has such beautiful thick hair. I'm jealous. Lol

[@SamamaJamma123]

We put our grocery list on our Alexa app and it is SOOOOO easy and convenient! It also catergorizes it for us based on what we put, so the produce is listed together, non-food items are listed together, baking together, etc. It is SOO nice...and we never have to worry about losing our list.

[@TheHeritageArtsPodcast]

We do this too! And I’m constantly hollering at our Echo dot to add things to the grocery list! The worst though is when the store doesn’t have good signal, so I still take a screenshot too!

[@kaylarson3843]

Hi Becky, new sub here. Just an FYI, my Winco carries Yakisoba noodles. They are stocked in organic produce open refrigeration section. They also carry Udon noddles too. Both noddle types also have a little flavor packet. I have yet to use it so I can't tell you if it is any good or not. Looked like the party was a success. Thank you for all your recipe ideas. I tried a stirfry like yours and really liked it.

[@mandi0903]

Ooh I can’t wait to see pantry challenge videos!

[@carolcartes8240]

That big bag of garlic is such a great deal! I want to suggest to you that you rough chop it in your food processor and then FREZZE DRY IT! So much easier than making frozen pucks, in my opinion. Freeze dried minced garlic is my favorite and most used item that I freeze dry! A game changer for quick meals.

[@lindabennett3639]

I switched to cast iron and stainless steel last year and OMG the difference!! It never occured to me to buy those things but my grandmother cooked in cast iron only and you'd think it would have. I'm switching my kitchen over to higher quality tools and such to save money in the long run and it's better to cook in for your health. I love that you explain why you buy what you buy and why you dont buy something. Your channel is so fantastic!!!

[@dahomesteadacre5099]

Hey Becky, chickens often don't lay if the weather is too hot or too cold. So, maybe they're not used to your newer elevation, or their coop needs insulation? Also, my chickens are twice the ages of yours , same-ish breeds, and they still lay plenty. A lot of homesteaders call a chicken "old" at 4 or 5 years, but after raising chickens for over 50 years, they might lay less, but don't stop.

Two tips that will massively up your bobby pin game if you don't already know them: 1) Put them in with the bumpy side against your head. It seems like it'll be uncomfortable, but I can't feel it at all and I have a super sensitive head. 2) Try to always put your pins in so two (or more) form an interlocking X. You should feel the second one lock into place and hold the first one. I was able to eliminate bobby pins slipping out with those two tricks. I've never tried since I haven't needed to, but I also know people who swear by spaying their bobby pins with hairspray to make them non-slip!

[@MarkusKasper-gx7tb]

Hello Emily where are you from?

[@bobr6318]

Good tips but alas, my super sensitive head must be more tender than yours since both of those tricks hurt me. I can only use bobby pins flat side down but mostly use snap clips alongside the spiral hair ties Becky picked up since this combo is the kindest.

[@emilyr2836]

@@bobr6318 Interesting, I've always found that crossing the pins relieves pressure rather than making it worse.

Do you have an Ace Hardware or a smaller store near you for refilling your propane tanks. Instead of going inside big box store like Lowe’s? For a faster in and out ? Our Ace here in Small town Illinois is usually about $16-18 to refill our tanks. Is it more expensive where your at?

Hello Becky and Friends ❤

[@carolynturk-hu7je]

In future, put in the half cup of chicken broth, it will add a depth of flavor other than water which adds no flavor, to go with the terriyiki sauce you made. I have used those noodles and the chicken broth is a game changer for flavor(your homemade canned broth would be fabulous). 😊❤

[@MaxsMom-bv6hf]

The pantry challenge used to be about going through your stock and using up what stores you have to ensure older provisions were consumed before the expiration date and how long can you go. Now everyone is stocking up BEFORE the challenge to ensure they get through. All you are doing is buying your groceries 2 months ahead.

Becky, you totally inspired me! I made half-pints of mixed berry jam and water beth canned it to give my employees as part of their Christmas gift this year. The ones who've opened it said they loved it! So, I bought a water bath canning set and the new Ball book! Thanks for the inspiration!

This 50 +old Grandma has always used Almay foundation and love it been told I still look in my upper 30's but this age is fading quickly but it's not the makeup. Almay is a good product. I use a Clinique lotion underneath my foundation. I still use the same mascara as what you picked up. It also has been my favorite. Looks like your ready for no shop January! Your dinner looked delicious too! Happy New Year!!

Afternoon! You can get the fresh yakisoba noodles at Winco in the produce section. Kind of where you get the wonton papers. They are great for a quick and easy meal. :)

[@painiacs83]

Oh man so jealous. Been wanting yakisoba sooooo bad😊

[@cherylnewman9098]

Dinner looks delicious, thank you Becky.

[@debbiecrouse5577]

FYI, Yakisoba noodles are near the Won Ton wrappers at the end of the produce aisle at my WinCo store. Love your channel! ❤️

Part 2! Yay! Have you freeze dried avacodos yet? They’re great!

[@lisah.5559]

Hi, do u add lemon juice or anything first? Thanks x

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

How do you eat them?

[@wolflady58]

Oh that sounds good

[@thewhitehorsefarm]

@@lisah.5559 lime juice, mashed up and pre frozen. I use it for guacamole, but I’ve also made it into guacamole before freezing, Just add spritzes of water to rehydrate to the desired consistency

[@lisah.5559]

@@thewhitehorsefarm thank u! Will definitely try, never thought of freezing it

Hi Becky, your channel was suggested to me a week or so ago. I live in a studio apartment so I don’t have a pantry, but I’m watching for cooking ideas. Also, you’re just a great person to watch!

[@wts7273]

Becky you are the cutest! Love your positive attitude and excitement over the little things. Thanks for always bringing smiles! Thank you for being you friend! ❤

[@letsmakeout1990]

I am currently off sick from work and you spend most of the day in my house encouraging me to be active and get the housework done. Thank you for being you ❤

[@artkeepsave7206]

Yay Becky, I didn’t know that I need this - you always lift my spirits and walking into my work apartment after a great time with my parents (dad is 91 and every day is a gift) they plummeted - even though I like my work. On a positive note - I raised my very own Einkorn sourdough starter and pulled the first loaf out the oven this morning - not quite right, but soooo yummy

I'm new to your channel and I can't stop watching your videos. I hope to learn new things . Thank you for willingness to make this channel. I saw filling my freezer with 22 meals from scratch. I saw it on January 8 2024. Subscribe fast

Friday dinner is a great and fun thing. In Jewish families (and it doesn't matter if they are secular or religious) this is a regular custom. Every Friday they do a special meal with lots of special dishes and different types of salads. It can be with traditional dishes for every family or try new dishes and different foods. It's really fun and I really recommend you do it. :)
