Five Supper EASY and Delicious Make-a-Head Recipes to Take Out of Town!

[@lisakafmw2673]

People in this comment section really need to chill out! This woman has a 6 month old baby (and family at large) to care for, a KZbin channel to manage, a garden the size of a whole house, farm animals, a new house to renovate, the list goes on….and yet people have the audacity to tell her to “get her act together” “stop goofing around” “improve the quality of her videos” just to quote some mean comments I’ve seen here😑 Stop projecting your perfectionism (and entitled energy) on others. Let her be a human, an imperfect human that makes mistakes. Good grief!!

[@JanetPlanet68]

Yes, being rude is unacceptable. BUT except for the baby, those other things are choices. No one HAS to have a garden the size of a whole house or have a KZbin channel. Also, no one HAS to watch if they don't like what they see. When multiple people comment on the same issues, it's probably a good idea to pay attention.

Baking tip: Glass dishes/pans do not heat up as fast as metal or conduct the same level of heat. Using glass will hinder the "setting up" of a recipe. Metal is preferred if you are making cakes, brownies, blondies, cookie bars, quick breads, muffins, etc. If you can't use a metal pan you can decrease the temperature and bake longer. 😊 Hope that helps!

@@luanngates4982 The original comment was literally saying that Becky's use of glass pans here isn't the preferred type of pan traditionally used for cakes and brownies. I'm not sure why you're timestamping like crazy. It was constructive criticism, to ensure the best outcome in future.

[@anneklockowski4301]

Hi Becky, When melted butter overflowed in the microwave, you said you didn’t realize the volume of 3c of butter. The recipe called for 1 1/2 sticks of butter so doubled you only needed 1 1/2c of butter. No worries! You’re caramel sauce on ice cream is plenty for dessert!

[@jogoleegirl4821]

Was just checking the comments to see if someone else noticed that!! I said to myself... Becky, you needed three STICKS of butter...NOT 3 CUPS!!😂😂

[@RaeNacluv]

One thing I noted from the blonde recipe - I believe it said a 8x8 METAL pan. Metal and glass have different properties in terms of how they heat up, bake and retain heat. Copying the temperatures and times for a metal pan but using a glass pan will not produce the same results.

[@BeeCace-gc5er]

I've been baking a long time and I've not had a recipe fail by substituting a glass for metal or vice versa. You may need an adjustment to time or temp, could that have been an issue?

For anyone wondering, the perfect brown sugar proportion is 1 Tablespoon molasses per cup of granulated sugar for light brown sugar and for dark brown it's 2-3 Tablespoons per cup (depending on how dark you want it). In the end it looked like Becky hit that right on the head for Light brown sugar :)

[@mimiashford5544]

Becky, I think your Blondie recipe is fine. When you doubled it, you were only supposed to use 2 whole eggs plus 2 yolks, but you added 4 whole eggs. Also, I think you doubled the butter called for PLUS I think if you had let the butter cool just a little (as the recipe said) that would have made some difference as well bc hot, melted butter can really change texture of anything baked. I would try it again bc it looks like a decent blondie recipe.

Additionally, she doesn't HAVE to show ANY of her 'mistakes' when she edits her shows, but when she does, she usually humbly asks this community for advice and/or tips and for the most part, in a group of almost half a million (we know many are algorithm bots but most are real people) the comments are positive, upbeat and helpful.

I all looks good. growing up in a family of 8 children my mom would mix up the toll house cookie recipe and then put the dough in a baking dish. There were great. To keep brown sugar soft, I use the brown sugar bear - I purchased them on Amazon 2 in a pk for 7.99. They work great for the brown sugar and also to put in the cookie jar to keep cookies soft. I also put a plastic wrap on top of the brown sugar in the storage container, helps to minimize the air that dries it out. Hope you had a great vacation

[@lindeehallpratt2602]

Love your videos! A few things, check the blondie recipe, that was a lot of butter for the amount of flour/sugar/eggs. Also, just a tip, metal pans are necessary for making brownies or blondies. Metal conducts heat more efficiently and bakes them through. Glass is not as efficient for conducting heat. So you need to lower the heat and bake longer.

[@danaedgerton-cy3nc]

I came to say the same thing but figured I would check to see if great minds think alike😂

[@Logcabinbakeryandfarm]

@@AcreHomestead I came to say the same thing! I was waiting for the captions or voice over to state the oops.

[@taurusrae7630]

Its butter and sugar- if your going to make a mistake, this is the kind to make😂 just serve with spoons

[@lanefurey8676]

I recently discovered that I’ve been making my banana bread recipe wrong by doubling the butter, but people always love it and rave about it. Lol!

[@SuAnne-lc5rw]

Omg 😳 that stuff always happens at a writers time! Glad your mom is so sweet and supportive! ❤😊

[@Pinkwike]

Omg i just refreshed my subscriptions page & here i see my favorite person ever has uploaded! So excited to watch this video! Much love Becky ❣️❣️

My favorite homemade salad dressing. 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, 3/4 cup oil, I use Avocado oil, two minced garlic cloves and salt and pepper to taste. So simple but sooooo good.

[@evelyngrajales9778]

Hello! Becky, I enjoy all your videos. I also use some of your ideas while baking. Thank you for all you do.

[@alexpatterson5954]

Hi Becky! Absolutely love hanging out with you in the kitchen. I think what you have is a yam. Sweet potatoes are orange. Both look super similar before peeling!

[@joniwasson2866]

Hi Becky, these blondie brownies look yummy. I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos. You keep the real-life events in the kitchen as it should be. My gramma had a great trick to soften back up harden brown sugar. Put a piece of bread in the sugar. It softens it right back up. Living in Medford Oregon for years, she was always dealing with hard sugars. I honestly think this trick came from living during the great depression. Watching you create such amazing dishes, is always inspiring. You keep life real and unapologetic which is exactly why you are so enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us.

I absolutely love your channel and your butter incident! I'm always making memories along with my messes! So fun!

My favorite blondie recipe is from Joy of Cooking. I have the 1975 edition. They call them "Butterscotch Brownies" in Joy of Cooking. Super duper easy recipe - and it's one pan! I sometimes add extras like grated coconut, but the recipe itself needs nothing extra.

[@jillrushy]

Hi Becky I work in a school kitchen here in the UK and the children definitely eat with there eyes. Love your videos

[@clairesutherland2591]

Have been binge watching all your previous videos . Love all your content . So many ideas and inspo xx

[@MarieAchee]

The Smitten Kitchen blondies (and upgraded with brown butter) are my go-to. Anything by Sally's Baking Addiction is also a guaranteed success :).

[@loriy7532]

Hi Becky , Pop the brown sugar in the microwave for 10 to 15 second intervals until it softens up.. Always nice to visit..When making a salad , you should rinse. I make a simple salad in deep summer when the cherry tomatoes are popping and the veggies and herbs are all ready to eat. The Israeli couscous , cherry tomatoes , chopped red or green onions parsley ,dill and small chunks of Feta.. I dress the salad with lemon juice couple cloves of garlic s and p and canola oil because it is lighter in taste than olive.Have a great trip..

Becky don't ever change, your great .

I know it's after the fact, but sorry about your well pump/water problem! That is one of those things that as a new homeowner, I don't know if they provide that info on what type of well pump, when put in, etc. Different scenario, but a few years after my husband passed away, I had to replace our well pump, and because he built the house before I knew him, knew nothing about the age/type, etc. Ended up buying an upgrade and glad I asked someone what do I do, what company, etc. To this day still use that company, and yesterday for some plumbing issues. Family business, 3 generations! A blessing!

[@ivbus6586]

Try plain marshmallows, the big ones, in your brown sugar. It will soften the brown sugar.

[@CatFromFL]

Becky, when you are baking please try to use the convection baking settings in your wall oven. The fan circulates the heat better and your baked goods will cook more evenly. This isn’t important with braised and roasted things but baking definitely. Just lower heat -a tad maybe 25 degrees F and learn your oven . It looks like my Kitchenaid convection oven/reg oven. My microwave has a convection oven control too but smaller good for pizza or cookies. ITS DEFINITELY WORTH IT!

[@Tmarie-lb3xk]

we love your Mom!! definitely need more videos with her... the brownies look delicious😋

[@christinewilcox7080]

When I unwrap a cube of butter and put in the microwave to melt or soften, I put the paper wrapper on top to prevent splattering

[@mrseliephant]

If you roll the lemons on the counter with the palm of your hand, like how you roll dough, and then cut and juice them you will get more juice out of it. :)

[@michelesoto5919]

Perfect, can’t wait to hear about the Pearl Couscous, I just opened and rejarred it! Never made it before! Will try to make something with it this week!

[@melindaonamission9511]

I made the brown butter chocolate chip cookies and my husband said it was probably the best cookies he has ever had! 🍪

[@AcreHomestead]

Aw that makes me so happy! Here is the recipe for anyone who would enjoy it - scratchpantry.com/recipes/2022/7/brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies?rq=butter

[@YasuTaniina]

Several years ago I was invited to a cookie party and thought I was being so innovative by making chocolate chip cookies with brown butter. Someone else made a test kitchen recipe with brown butter 😫. To this day I feel embarrassed that I thought I was doing anything new. They were both good cookies though

[@melindaonamission9511]

@@YasuTaniina I've heard of it before but just never tried it. Easier prep too in my opinion.

[@Frankie_902]

​@AcreHomestead they are definitely the best cookies we've eaten ever. They have become my favorite.

[@susanmccoy5446]

Blondies are my favorite. I am not a chocolate fan so I rarely add chocolate.

[@lisam703]

Becky, throw a piece of bread in that brown sugar and it will soften up like new! I actually bought a terra cotta "sugar bear" from Amazon I keep in mine now. It's magic! I will be buying more of them as small Christmas gifts!

[@pinkplateful1957]

Those Guittard chocolate chips are THE BEST chocolate chips. America's Text Kitchen did a study and found it to be so and I agree. :)

I hope you had a lovely weekend away with your friends. Your meals sound delicious! Cheers from 🇨🇦Calgary, Alberta🇨🇦

[@lisabeishline578]

I get confused about yam and sweet potatoes too but yams have rough, dark brown skin that is often compared to tree bark, and their flesh is dry and starchy like a regular potato. Sweet potatoes have smooth reddish skin, softer flesh (when cooked), and a sweet flavor. When I have hard brown sugar I grate the amount I need but it would be quite the task if you needed a lot of brown sugar.

[@Dleah3971]

I have recently discovered your channel and Wow, I just love it. I have already learned so much, recipe wise but also cooking techniques. Thank you for always talking us viewers/friends through what you are thinking and for leaving in your mistakes! We all make mistakes and it is so nice that you don’t edit them out! I have always been intrigued by freezer meals but to be honest, most of the ones I have seen are not fresh, clean ingredients and they don’t appeal to me. You have changed this for me!!!! I want to make all of your freezer meals!!!! Please keep these videos coming. You are extremely educational and entertaining!

[@Dleah3971]

Also, I always see that you have a print out of your recipes. I do this too but then I struggle with how to organize them. Could you do a video on how to organize you online recipes? I have recipes on Pinterest, Instagram, on the regular web and now on KZbin that I want to somehow organize. My mom uses Google drive to store all of hers but that took her a long time to organize them. My friend uses tons and tons of binders for all of her printouts, but doesn’t seem to have a good way that she has organized all of them. Is there a better way?? You are so very organized so I thought you may have some great ideas! Thanks again for being you and sharing you life with all of us.

[@chrisweeks1453]

I make a lot of recipes with Israeli couscous. It has a deeper flavor if you lightly toast in a little oil before you add liquid…be careful not to burn yourself when adding water or stock to hot pan, it will spatter.
