I just wanted to let you know that I've made the baked oatmeal for my kiddos in the morning before and in our home it's called Becky's Baked Oatmeal For Josh, my 8 year old never liked oatmeal but he named it that and loves it and wants it for dinner sometimes. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks for us home cooks. Have a wonderful day!!!

[@iam_s0nya]

[@MrsBrit1]

A tip for making the slaw: make the dressing separately. It makes it a whole lot easier to get the dressing right. I have made it my whole life and I always mix the vinegar and sugar in a dish to dissolve the sugar, then mix in the mayo. I make a LOT more dressing than you did! I do it all by taste, so can't offer any measurements. I like it tangy and super creamy. It's also good to add some celery seed and plenty of black pepper! I hope you enjoyed those sandwiches!

[@mrmrsaofbarredowlcabin405]

We add poppy seeds

[@naomioakley3736]

I like to use honey in place of sugar. It's good that way too.

[@leahbeasley9929]

I also make my dressing separately. Definitely mix the sugar (2T) and vinegar (4T) first then add the mayo (1 c.) then add a pinch of salt and pepper. I always make the dressing hours before (if I can make it the day before) and let it sit for at least 3 hours before adding to the chopped cabbage and carrots. This is a combination of my grandmother's recipe from Kentucky and my 2nd cousins recipe from Texas.

[@authorgirlpetparent]

Same here: In a big bowl, I mix together mayo, apple cider vinegar w/the mother, greek yogurt, pink salt, dill weed, cayenne and liquid vanilla stevia, and then to the same bowl I add my finely grated cabbage, carrots, finely chopped red bell pepper, fresh parsley and cilantro. Always a winner!

[@chrisBou007]

[@lh824]

A gentle suggestion: After you have removed as much fat as you care to, return (as many as suits your pallet) the cooked onions to the "gravy" in the pot. Using an immersion blender, blend the onions until you have a smooth sauce. You'll be surprised how much flavor those "spent onions" contribute in addition to naturally thickening the sauce. 🤗

[@karladenton5034]

Great tip! I usually add carrots and celery to my roasts as well as onions, and 'smush' them into the gravy with a fork, but the blender would be SO much better.

[@dcmc7383]

Exactly. I never toss out those flavorful onions. They don't have any more onion flavor to give...but they do have the meaty seasoned flavor to use almost as a natural veggie "boullion"...so good.

[@sherrydaut4910]

You need to take a small bowl of your finished cold slaw, add a little celery seed (not celery salt), stir it well and taste. It makes a HUGE) difference in the flavor. If you like it, add it to the rest of your slaw, a little at a time). I have gotten so many compliments with just the addition of a little celery seed.

[@articowl2]

I use this method a lot when trying new things. Just make the changes to a small portion and taste before adding to whole amount.

[@2redbird1]

Tip: use a tea saucer to cut out pie crusts. Makes a lot of small ones to feed a crowd. Fill one side then fold over & crimp. We fry ours but baking is just fine. I haven’t tried an air fryer but I would think it would work.

[@patriciamcanally2979]

Hi Becky! My first time to talked to you. I just want to share a tip that someone shared with me. When you need to preheat the oven, just push the broil ‘button’. It will heat up in less that half the time. I have been doing that for over a year now and it’s the only way that I preheat now. Love the show!! You’re such a great homemaker!! Bye for now!!!

[@nancycolbert2703]

The hand pies look delicious. A suggestion for Josh and his favorite pie, is bake a whole pie and freeze individual servings so he could pull out a slice of Apple pie when he wants.

[@maryannwright1215]

I was very nervous to do this, but I took two smaller size beef bottom roasts (about 3 lbs total) out of my freezer and put them frozen into my Instant Pot. I added 3 cups of beef broth and threw in some spices on top of the meat. Cooked on High pressure for 90 minutes then let it natural release for 30 minutes. It came out fantastic! I made gravy from the drippings in the pot then shredded the meat and served over mashed potatoes. Nice to know I can do this when I forget to take the meat out to thaw.

[@kirstypollock6811]

I used to do the same with whole (small) chickens in my big pressure cooker. About 2-3 pounds.

[@hannahkayee831]

I put beef roasts in the instant pot for 2 hours. Because I like it tender. People say 40 mins no where near enough time in my opinion

[@kiakiaw]

That Instant Pot is a game changer for quick meals!

[@KnittingmommyArts]

Coleslaw is one of those things my mom always made when she had about 1/2 cup or so of mayo at the bottom of the jar. She would add all the ingredients for the dressing into the mayo jar, close the lid, and shake like crazy to mix it all up. Then she would pour it over the cabbage that was also shredded with a box grater. The longer the slaw sits in the fridge with the dressing on the better it gets. Make sure to stir to get it all mixed up once the cabbage has marinated in the dressing for a bit. So good. Mom never used a recipe for this either. Just mix all the ingredients until the dressing tastes good. Try adding lemon juice along with the vinegar. It adds a nice brightness to the dressing.

[@sharonkranz2517]

Can you say “cimmononey” fast three times 🤣👍 I love watching you and Josh. You’re both so down to earth, and really do treat your audience like we’re right there with you. Love it❣️

[@JanicePhillips]

Slaw tip - Shred your veg and use more carrot than you think you need. It adds major sweet and you can cut down on the sugar. Salt your veg and put a plate on it and stick it in the fridge. Then mix up your dressing separately (like most here have said) and stir it in to your pre-wilted veg. You can use less "dressing" because your veggies make half of it for you!

[@kathleenniemi5542]

Wondering for a time saver. When you cook the oatmeal, cook it in the glass dishes you transfer the cooked oatmeal into. One less dirty dish and just have to let them cool before putting them in the frig. Now that there's just the two of us, When I make a casserole, I divide the recipe into those smaller glass dishes, cook one and freeze usually 2 more. Just the right amount for 1 dinner and easy to cook up later. Now I need to make some hand pies, rolls, slaw, and roast (my husbands favorite). It all looks delish.

[@kw1996]

A tip for your delicious-looking roast, instead of just throwing away the onion, garlic, etc., put them through a blender & then add it to your sauce, giving it a fantastic amount of flavor and thickening it as well! I also make my dressing in a separate bowl, however; I add 7% vinegar as I love mine really tangy, which goes really well with what you're making, especially with anything that has a little bit of a sweeter sauce! Have an awesome day!

[@JanicePhillips]

I prefer apple cider vinegar and maybe a splash of seasoned rice wine vinegar in my not so "Southern" slaw. 😀

[@neppieb]

Becky, when I make slaw I put the mayo, vinegar, sugar and salt in a bowl and mix it together, it makes it like a dressing, and then I pour it over the cabbage. I find it easier to mix the dish up. Just a tip.

Hi Becky! Just a wild guess and someone else probably already said it but you added your yeast after you added your melted butter into the milk/water bun mixture. My guess is some of the yeast became coated in the butter, which then acted much like a rain coat by keeping the water from dissolving the yeast. I am not a specialist and this is just my best guess. Thank you for all you do, I love watching your videos. It is the highlight of my day (I am bed bound most days). Have a great weekend!

Scalded milk brought to 'body' temp plus sweetener then yeast and let sit for a couple of minutes to get going before adding the fat. I think the butter, which was still liquid, may have been hot enough to kill of some of the yeast.

As a southern girl I am excited for you to be branching out to our cuisine!!! A few tips for great slaw.....mix dressing separately to taste with mayo, (Dukes is a southern staple), apple cider vinegar is mandatory, not white vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper.....other spices if you are daring, but the key is sweet and tangy!!!

It's just me and my fiance and it's refreshing to see someone meal prepping and preserving for two! I just wanted say thank you again for being such an inspiration to me.

Becky you are such an inspiration! I am addicted to your videos! I literally wait for your uploads! I started my garden because of you and tomorrow I’m going to try those rolls and baked oats! ❤️

Hey Becky. I live in Alabama and make that coleslaw all the time. It's easier to mix vinegar, sugar and Mayo in cup then pour over cabbage. Also on the pies you can fix them in a skillet on top of stove if you wanted to. We call them fried pies here. Love them. Love your videos. Can't wait till the next one. Give us a baby update. Be blessed b

So happy to get home after a long week at work to see you posted a video! Relaxed with a snack and a cold drink and curled up on the couch to enjoy your cooking! Thank you for starting off my weekend in style!

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who makes their own rolls for sliders! Sometimes I feel like a crazy person, but it's so easy, and I make 3 9x13 pans of rolls at a time, and then I freeze the extras for another day. And this is exactly the motivation to get up and start working on the peaches I just bought from a local farm stand. We were too busy to do peaches last year, and we really missed having peach jam and pie/cobbler filling at the ready! I'm so looking forward to enjoying them!

Hello Becky, this is amazing! I am going to make all this for my family - fingers crossed it turns well! Thanks so much!! You inspire me 🥰

[@raechelaine]

Hey Becky! I discovered your channel recently and love all of your content. I’m so inspired to continue making changes in our home toward a more natural, healthy lifestyle. Have you ever thought about writing your own cookbook? I’d buy it in a heartbeat! 💜

[@lilianlamison793]

I make my own coleslaw, I use cabbage, mayo sugar and vinegar and salt pepper to taste. And yes use my box shredder

[@tammyparish9340]

I love that your cooking incorporates adding things most of us wouldn't think of. Like adding zucchini to bulk up recipe and making oatmeal breakfast for all week. Love your trial and error mindset. You do what feel right.No regrets ; if it works ok. If not we'll try something else. Thank goodness you play by ear and it works.

I always make a dressing on the side that way I can adjust the taste as needed add splash of lemon juice and I use seasoned rice vinegar and little buttermilk along with small dash of celery seeds and sugar to taste of course salt and pepper. I always let it sit in fridge for hours to let flavor meld.

Hi Becky! I usually cut a couple of steam vents in the top of my hand pies after the egg wash. Great job on your first time tries😀

[@kittychronister3537]

Glad you’re back in the kitchen having fun. What a yummy dinner! Great summer dining at its finest 😀

[@mulataeboujae]

You motivate me as a wife....the happiness in his voice when he came home to good food...ad the fact that you have literally been cooking alllll day...and took some time.to.spend time with friends...

[@lindas.8036]

Thanks for the videos. Re pie fillings, I understand the need to can for preservation, and they get cooked during that process. But I have stopped precooking pie fillings for fresh hand pies. I just use the fresh fruit, maybe adding a little bit more flour to thicken juices. The texture of the fruit is soooo much better. it cooks just enough during the baking process. Yum!

[@terririvera6764]

Well I see you already got about 4 tips about mixing your coleslaw dressing in a separate bowl before mixing in your cabbage. I don't measure either, I go by taste. My husband has a bbq business here in California, so I usually make enough for two big bowls of coleslaw. Customers like it because it's creamy and tangy. Good luck on your next batch.

[@R.Marcel94]

This may be off topic and random but besides loving your videos, I love the relationship you two share. :) total goals! Living the life!

[@vickieking5831]

Oh my gosh! I made the chuck roast low and slow in the oven like you did and in the same type of heavy pot. It was so delicious. My family loved it. Even my sister, who is not a fan of beef roast, liked it. I am used to making it in the crock pot, but I'm always going to make it this way. Thanks so much!

[@peggykirk6851]

Oh Becky! You are making some fabulous "southern" recipes today. That is how we often make our slaw and fried pies are always a favorite. Your food looks scrumptious. Love your new kitchen.

[@nancypatterson374]

Thinking the same thing, South Carolina here. Love Coleslaw and sliders!

[@interestedobserver9352]

Oh my gosh everything you made looked delicious! Hand pies are a great idea.

[@PirouettingFox]

Thank you for another wonderful video! I have a suggestion, rather than removing the onions when you make your gravy, blend them in with an immersion blender. It’s an absolute game changer. I’ve always been disappointed in my gravy but 2 thanksgivings ago I didn’t want to deal with the mess of taking them out so I just blended them in. Becky, it was the best gravy I’ve ever had. And they helped thicken the gravy which was wonderful because I don’t like all the starch I have to add. Try it, you’ll never go back ❤

[@Mel-vu9ss]

Love the hand pies. So pretty. Sprinkle a little sugar over the tops,after the egg wash, gives them a little more texture and sweetness.

[@denisedonaldson6679]

Oh my goodness Becky! Everything looks amazing as usual. Love everyone of your videos. Recently retired and I just hit TV to get play all❤️. Thank you🤗

[@toriackerman318]

First off, thank you for being so inspiring and sharing soooo much about gardening, preserving, and recipes. Second, congratulations on your baby!!! I am due with baby #4 beginning of Nov so I’m trying to get lots done before that. Lastly, you TOTALLy need to look up canning coleslaw. I did it a few years ago and love it because it basically pickles it and it stays crunchy. You can eat it as is with just the sweet vinaigrette it is canned in, or you can drain it and add some mayo and the flavor is great! You can also add your own spices in canning. My grandma used celery seed and celery salt so I adapted my canning recipe to my taste and how sweet I wanted it. Makes for a nice side or topping to just pull off the shelf and it tastes fresh and doesn’t take a lot of work👍

[@Nesyaishere]

I've been binge watching becky's video and now im getting more and more comfortable seeing the kitchen, it looks cozy 😭

[@BlaCkHearTed825]

I don't garden or cook from scratch but your videos really relax me. Thank you for your videos🙏❤️

[@carolyngregory9354]

My Momma used to make fried, peach pies, and they were awesome. Yours looked so yummy. Great video.

[@commonsenseuniversitydoesn8559]

Becky, Since you have chickens, I thought I would offer you this suggestion. Next year grow some sunflowers 🌻 in your garden from the chickens. The sunflowers are so good for your chickens. And it makes their yolks so much more dark yellow.

[@newyorker4113]

How do you feed the sunflowers to your chickens? Just the seed or the whole thing?
