No matter how old you are, how many years you have cooked, how many preserving or canning classes you have taught, how many seasons you have gardened, or even if you have a published cookbook, this young woman is a constant source of inspiration, motivation and delight!!

FYI I’ve become so addicted to your channel!! I’m a divorced, wheelchair user, empty nester that’s been going to Costco constantly and Thrive Market purchasing ingredients to make food from scratch. However, I’m in a one bedroom apartment with little storage space. Since my freezer is very full, I’m getting a 5 cu ft freezer for overflow. I’m still trying to decide I’m getting a kitchen island on wheels, stand up pantry, a tall 8 cube organizer, or a six cube on its side!!

You go girl that’s awesome . I’ve been loving all her recipes too and making it for dinner as well.

You are so right - round is overrated. When I was a kid I would help mama cook. As is usual with Hispanic families we had an uncle living with us. At dinner he picks up a flour tortilla and tells me, “Wow it’s good, you gave me a geography lesson, this looks like the state of California.” He sure gobbled the entire country! 😊

[@gelwood99]

Here is my pro tip, I worked in a bakery/deli for 19+ years and made pasta salad every other day, I changed it up with my different ones every other day for the month, and one trick I learned was to reserve a cup of the pasta liquid, never rinse the pasta with cold water for the same reason you wouldn't if it were for a red sauce (so it grabs the dressing), put the hot pasta in with your veggies They won't wilt or cook in any way as you stir it all together, that cools it down and helps distribute the veggie juices over the pasta, add the dressing you choose to use. As the pasta cools down it will become dryer, now slowly add in the reserved cooking water As it cools down the hot pasta absorbs the veggie's liquid, and the dressing much like pasta finishes cooking in the sauce, taking in the flavors. Pasta salad is very much the same way so make your salad on the wet side so the pasta can absorb the flavors and if needed use the cooking liquid to help. Final adjustments can be done when it is cold from the fridge and it won't take much more with practice. I made a pesto, sundried tomato pasta salad that sold out every single time and that is what I did. They still use the same recipe there but it is not the same seller it was when I made it. The technique is more than a list of ingredients in a recipe. The difference was in the creamier dressing mine had because the pasta took on the pesto flavor and the added starchy, salty liquid made the "dressing" creamier because of the oils and nuts in the pesto. Give it a try, it works the same way with a ranch type, an Italian style, parmigiana cheese, and garlic style. The varieties are as endless as there are cheeses, meats, herbs, and dressings (dry powdered or premade). Flavor the noodle and the rest will knock your socks off! I hope I helped and encouraged more flair over pasta salads because any green salad combination you can think of will make a wonderful pasta dish just skip the lettuce for pasta. Ever thought about a Rubin sandwich as a pasta salad? What about cheeseburger pasta salad? Why not? McCormick Monterey chicken seasoning mixed with mayo makes a killer pasta dressing. It was one of my signature salads.

[@shannonkeil5989]

[@UghUgh1234]

For pasta salads, the best thing to do is since the pasta is done boiling, drain and spread thin on a cookie sheet to cool all the way. They way, the starch stays on the pasta and makes the salad creamy and silky.

Hi, roll your tortilla sections into balls. Rolling pin should be in one direction an slowly quarter turn, that helps keep it round. My mom showed me this. Have a great day !

[@TLadret]

Morning Becky. I’m not finished watching yet but as you’re cutting up your cherry tomatoes I thought I’d share a little ‘chefs trick’. This will work especially well with your new knives; place a good handful of the tomatoes on a flat surface and flat plate on top of the tomatoes(a side plate works well). Hold one hand flat on the plate to keep still, and horizontally slide your knife through the tomatoes, you’ll find that you’ve cut them all in half, equally. Repeat until you’re all done. 👍❤ I’ll finish the video now, hope this helps.😄🇨🇦😄

[@susanmurten6178]

I'm def going to try this!

[@annastasiawheeler4305]

It works really well with 2 of the lids for the glad storage containers. Just turn one upside down so there's an edge to catch tomatoes, then place the other in the opposite direction so they look enclosed. Placing hand on top of the top lid, slice horizontally through the tomatoes. Even cut all the way across.

[@kimberlyrichards5078]

Also works good if you use 2 deli lids. You can also use the trick on grapes and some berries.

[@TLadret]

@@annastasiawheeler4305 I’m so glad you added to this thought my friend! I was thinking of all the kitchen items to suggest that she use for this hack as I was typing and had a brain fart! I love your idea, thanks for the tip! 👍❤

[@funshine311]

the first time you made tortillas i looked at the recipe and its actually the one i use, its perfect! i know what helps me get them round is once i mix the dough i portion them out and then make them into balls then flatten them a bit and let them sit a bit before i roll them.

[@karenking2660]

Hi Becky, I really enjoy your videos on meal ideas. I make naan bread for my husband and I, also for my daughters and neighbour. There is nothing like homemade food, I receive your videos in the evening here in the UK and really enjoy them. You have such huge freezers, fridges and cookers (ovens) in the United States unlike us. Having said that we can still attempt to achieve results in our own kitchens. Like you if I make 1 meal I double up and freeze when possible. It just makes sense and can save money. Thank you once again you are such an inspiration! 😊

[@lynneschannel7325]

There’s a good majority of us - in the States - who are not blessed with the extra freezers, ovens & large fridge. I just admire it from afar as I watch. 😊

If anyone has high blood pressure or heart disease…I would skip all the salt that is added to the pasta water and the corn salsa ingredients….because 1 teaspoon of table salt has 2300mg of sodium, which is the daily limit /recommendations for healthy individuals. Anyone with high blood pressure or heart disease should have closer to 1500 to 1800. the salsa would have good flavor without it because it has a lot of flavor from the onions…once you get used to not having salt, you don’t really miss it

My husband’s family are Italian so over the last 40 years I learned quite a lot about Italian cooking, still much more to learn! Anyhow pasta shapes are specific to particular dishes. However the everyday rule of thumb is that pasta which has ridges will hold a sauce better. Most important of all don’t rinse your pasta once it’s cooked and never put oil in the water when boiling pasta, the sauce will never cling to the pasta - sacrilege!

Hola Becky I love love your clogs and everything you do thank you also when you strain your pasta in the sink open the cold water at the same time ! Longer life to your plumbing sistem ok? I hope you understand my English! Saludos!

[@LolaRoxie]

I really love your channel. It feels like coming home every time I watch. Thank you for sharing with us. May you never feel bad if you ever need to take time off for you 🌻

[@meeganjae72]

I have been mixing your pumpkin and whole wheat waffles for my friend for post partum snacks. She loves them. I made a double batch today for her. Thanks for sharing your recipes. Near the end, one waffle maker died, so we put some in the oven in muffin pans, worked well too.

Becky I make tortillas every day for the last 50 yrs I have found that warm water works better and also when the dough is softer the tortillas come out softer, it’s just like bread if the dough is softer the bread comes out softer. Yes you can make tortillas with oil, traditionally they are made with lard and they do have a very wonderful flavor, but for some people oil works out better. Just like pie crust. Love your cooking thank you for sharing. We always learn from one another.

[@juliespencer1164]

I too love the channel, I am 65 and I have certainly taken away some fab ideas and recipes from Becky's inspirational channel loving it. xxx

[@kezru1581]

Thanks for inspiring me today Becky, everything i have seen you make i know i would love, you're food is so my style and i am living for your recipes right now! Thanks so much ❤

[@heatherarkell9542]

Just a fyi I absoloutly live watching your Chanel Ive recently been diagnosed with cancer and been in bed a bit I love growing my own veggies and caning and preserving and love your energy I look forward to each video so thank you for that

[@CarrieNita]

You can make a buttermilk sub with whole milk and white vinegar. This is especially good for biscuits.

[@pamelameyer5371]

I've also used yogurt, thinned with milk to the right consistency.

[@ss-wy3be]

Hi Becky You can use tortilla press for making tortillas. You can place the dough between two parchment papers while pressing to prevent sticking.

[@DonnaFisherakaBecky]

Becky didn't you just post on IG that you do indeed have big mixing bowls? Where are they?

[@sharanbuerckner4918]

Hi I am am a 75 year old Australian lady and you have given me a new love of cooking. Thank sweet lady.

Best homemade tortillas de harina (flour tortillas) is 3 cups of all purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, mix together then add 1/4 cup oil (not extra virgin olive oil) 1 cup buttermilk (best 1 cup milk and 1 whole lemon juice letting it rest 10 minutes, I tried different forms my family likes it more when I do them like this, they don’t know what I add but the flavor is what they like). Kneed the dough and cover with Saran Wrap for 15 minutes. Roll into balls, sprinkle some flour over them and cover with Saran Wrap and a towel that is rinsed with hot water for 10 minutes. Finally roll the balls turning them over after each roll this will keep the round shape. Cook over medium heat turning over after 30 seconds then after 1 minute turn one final time and they will rise cooking the inside. Please give them a try and let me know what you think, you will never go back to using water.

i learned how to make tortillas in mexico and the trick was they used a tortilla press. it made perfectly round and thin tortillas every time! but if you don’t want to get one of those, you need to take sections of the dough and roll it into balls. then flatten it with the palm of your hand. from there it’s easy to roll out!

[@miephoex]

Frozen peas are the “secret”, perfect addition to salads, soups, even jello deserts. 😋tortilla dough is being overworked. 55 years of making tortillas under my belt. It is a delicacy bread. 😋😋😋😋😍😍

[@miaweeks522]

I would highly recommend trying sheetpan pancakes for bulk breakfast prep. I've been doing this for months and will never make pancakes any other way. I love the endless options too. I've made applesauce, lemon blueberry, chocolate cheesecake, apple butter, and pb & j pancakes!

[@julieparnell8380]

You are such an inspiration! Let me know if the homemade tortillas freeze well! Because my babies love fajitas and quesadillas and I love this little voice over at the end because I can hear some baby talk in the background!! I know your channel is food and farm and garden based but I’d love to see that little angel some time! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next! You are such a sweet soul! ❤

[@geelizz]

I am so excited to see the pesto again will have to re-watch that video. I do not like pine nuts, they taste like plastic to me, so the onion top and walnut version sounds great! And this salad looks like perfection and the pasta looks so fun!

[@susanbrauer5858]

1working on my rhubarb right now as I am watching you. The barb is really growing this year!

[@lisabyers2992]

Everything looks so good! I wonder how the salsa would taste if you roasted the jalapeños too?! ❤

[@graskeygirls3850]

Thank you friend!! Miss baby A!! Love to hear him in the background. Take is easy Becky. New house,baby and a career will tire you out

[@cathykillion6544]

Enjoyed the video. Appreciate the extra video. It doesn’t matter when the video was made.

[@nightmar3.]

I was just going to say that was the shortest video because my finger accidentally fast-forward till the the tortilla. My kids got my attention and I didn't even notice. 😂 I am pleasantly surprised and happy to watch every minute! The waffle recipe looks great.

[@kimscrafttime9184]

Becky loves pepper, wow does she use a lot❣️she says Josh doesn’t like too much spice, I’m surprised it’s not too spicy for him. Not being critical, each to their own, just making a conversational observation. LOL That pasta salad looks delicious😋❣️

[@atsparkler018]

The amount of pepper she put in the lasagna in the last video was crazy, like a 1/4 of a cup of pepper. I would think it would be overwhelming. I’m also surprised josh doesn’t notice.

[@glendabreshears6030]

​​@@atsparkler018 my hubby loves lots of pepper also

[@homegrownHonesty77]

Yuck Yuck Yuck!

[@rosh6378]

Becky... I am laughing so much! How many times have you said in your videos.. I should have used a bigger bowl? Lol.... now when you start to cook or prep... I am shouting at my screen Noooo the bowl's too small 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@factsmatter4030]

Love y'all...Thanks so much. I always enjoy and learn cool ideas from you.

[@SMLx3]

Ok I’m just going to say it: your like superhuman! Garden from scratch, cook from scratch AND a new mom!!! Where do you find the energy?!🤭 Happy Mother’s Day Becky!!!

[@homegrownHonesty77]

She is definitely not being a mom. This should be a concern.

[@avrilvincent1997]

@@homegrownHonesty77 honestly you people make the most ridiculous comments, why are you so desperate to see other peoples children?

[@kitno5]

I remember the tortilla ball in a bowl on my grandmother's counter. After it rested she pulled off a ball dough and started rolling and slapping it back and forth. Brings back so many memories. Enjoy your videos. Oh and when you reheat the tortilla just heat on a low open flame.

[@stephanietoelke90]

Becky, you NEED a tortilla press! So easy and no mess...and they usually turn out round. Love your videos!

[@MyWholeHeart]

She has one. I bought mine after watching her use it.

[@Sue-jn9sv]

A tortilla press is only used for corn tortillas. Flour tortillas are always rolled.

[@desert_moon]

They make larger presses specifically for flour tortillas. I have 1 of each size. Roll then press for uniformity if you want to roll them. And you need a bolilllo (small rolling pin w/o handles, shorter than french rolling pin) if you want to roll them, it works better.

[@sheilahughes1014]

i have and use a press but have only made corn tortillas.....saved her vid so I can try !!

[@zevab3178]

Or you can roll your dough into balls and roll them out. They will be round.

[@ruthhayden4087]

I have done the French toast back for Christmas cookies making with my grandkids and children. We all loved it. We don't eat breakfast that often. But it was great

[@katescaringcorner6765]

I love love love the “misshapen “ tortillas! They look homemade because they are misshapen. Perfection is in the imperfection! 💪🏼

[@susansprague8460]

Watching you Beckey is so enjoyable. Makes my day. Love from Maine

[@Nesyaishere]

30:06 seeing becky kneeding the dough is so satisfyinggggg, the way it folddd 😭

[@wendylittleh3209]

hey Becky, I was so excited im in Australia i had never heard of biscuits before i watch every one of your videos and i made chicken pot pie and biscuits last night for dinner oh my goodness they are yum, you are such an inspiration. i am currently eating mandarins from my tiny garden again you inspired me to give it a go. Thank you.

[@heatherwoodrow3882]

I had a banana bread french toast at a diner once. SO GOOD! I'm sure waffles would be delicious!

[@Lewisiaable]

I have made waffles as a French toast. It’s better if you toast the waffles first. Great job Becky ❤️

[@Dawn-pe5to]

Everything you make looks so appetizing. I asked this before maybe..what kind of dishwasher do you have that can get dishes clean without any rinsing, and does it always do the job? Would love to know..and get one!
