I just hollered at my hubby across the house, "Aw heck honey, Becky just put up a CrockPot video, I'm not available for 15 minutes!" I'm never disappointed in this channel and its sweet, humble, and knowledgeable host. Thank you Becky for inspiring me to grow, cook, eat, live, and love better!

Your parent's are precious. Can't wait to see how you start using up the canned food, frozen foods with just what you have.

[@merriebaldwin]

Haha. I waved at your parents as if I'm in your house sitting with you. How sweet of them to come over and help you out, what a blessing.

[@MoonChylde0622]

Tip on homemade almond milk: pour out the soaking water. I've been making my own for years and love it. No additives like the store stuff and SO much cheaper. I wanted to point out that you should pour out the soaking water, rinse the almonds, and add fresh water to the blender. Here's why: You soak the almonds to soften them and make a creamier milk. However, the soaking process ALSO pulls the phytic acid out of the almonds. Phytic acid is a compound that binds to minerals, so it can impair the absorption of nutrients such as iron, zinc, etc. Throwing that phytic acid soaking water out will also result in a sweeter, cleaner tasting almond milk. You can buy what is called nut or milk bags to filter/squeeze the almond pulp. They're usually cotton or hemp (so they're washable and reusable). They're designed to make alternative milks such as nut milks and coconut milk. Hope you guys have fun making almond milk from scratch. It's far superior. Give it a try!

[@mamabairds]

I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate you working so hard to make sure you have videos coming out while you are on vacation! You have true dedication and we are honored it is to us! You do a great job at all you do Becky! Happy cooking!

Your parent’s house is beautiful so yes, enjoy the help if they offer ;)

[@jackiebrangard6797]

Thank you for being REAL! I love how you are not afriad to admit mistakes or that you don't enjoy a recipe you make. It makes me feel a little less intimidated in the kitchen. And thanks to you I have begun making freezer meals. I only have a small fridge, so I'm not able to do a lot, but I've found that even a little prep helps in those busy weeks or when the blizzards come.

OMGosh! Your reaction to the onions, I shouldn't have I couldn't help but laugh. Picked red onions are SO different from other pickled onions. I almost pee'd my pants. Lol. You are a treasure.

[@laprofessora64]

My mother is famous for her pickled onion dressing, which uses white or yellow onions. The trick is to let them steep in vinegar with salt for a few days, and then drain them and then add a vegetable oil to cover, along with plenty of black pepper. Toss a couple of tablespoons of the dressing in a salad or pour some over cooked green beans or asparagus. Yum!

Repainting always makes a huge difference in how your home feels! But it can definitely be a struggle to get done. I just finally picked a paint color after almost 5 years of decision paralysis, and I'm so excited to get to work on it now! Our entire main floor (minus the kids' bedrooms- repainted those right away with colors they chose) have been the most terrible shade of light pee yellow with dark brown accent walls since we first saw the house nearly 5 years ago. So excited for our house to feel fresh and bright!

[@teela1465]

I'm so excited about the garden challenge. I love your channel. You are such an inspiration. I am so glad I can be part of your challenge. I have sectioned off a 20ftx16ft area of my yard and am using (new) excess double walled plastic culvert pipe from our sod farm (so it didn't go to waste) cut off and filled with dirt/compost because our ground is about 85% sand and the other 15% clay. Not good for growing anything in. I already have seeds sprouting, some in the ground already, some in the seed starter greenhouses... (I'm in Florida so I been having some mid-upper 80° days off and on for 2 weeks now so I needed dirt therapy). Got solar lights put out there today. Had to start early because I'm having spinal surgery number 6 on March 18th... Told surgeon I need to be healed in time for garden season lol 🤞
