So Spätzle is a southern german specialty and they are my favorite thing on earth. You can make some with that press you used for the potatoes too.. what you’ve done with the chicken is Schnitzel.. and the original schnitzel is from Vienna and made with veal.. pork schnitzel is called schnitzel Viennese style.. both veal and pork schnitzel usually is served with potato salad or French fries.. Much love from Southern Germany

[@evolvewithmonettellc]

So respectful & informative 👏 Thank you! I genuinely learned something & appreciate it!

[@catherinefoster1481]

So did I - thanks for the info!

[@Caitlin1928]

I was thinking she should do Schnitzel with noodles, like mentioned in My Favorite Things song.

[@elisabethraab5321]

What would never happen to Schnitzel in Vienna would be the sauce. Though I can imagine it to taste great ( I love capers). It really shows how much Becky cooks when she doesn‘t consider it a lot of effort. I personally think it‘s a pain - dirty, smelly and quite an effort… 😁 I prefer eating it (with potatoe salad of fries of course)!

[@danatomlinson2216]

My family is full of hunters and we make schnitzel with cubed dear steaks. It is a favorite for our family.

[@tanyabriggs8969]

Old Nana trick. Put a metal tablespoon in that mason jar BEFORE pouring hot oil into it. The spoon will prevent any possible thermal breaking of the glass. I have had mason jar crack on me at the oil line when I was young...and my Mama Rene told me how to prevent it. I have not had the issue since. And I always pour oil and bacon grease into mason jars...

[@kathleenblakeney9703]

Really cool!

[@Glitch68]

Do you keep your bacon grease in the fridge? Thanks for this tip!

[@tanyabriggs8969]

@@Glitch68 I fill up small amounts every few days and only if the pint jar is full do I put it in the frig. However your home might be warmer than mine. I can leave mine out till I use it up except maybe August. I stay below 70 in home most of the year with no air conditioning. The spoon is not needed IF you already have a fair amount of room temp fat in the bottom of the jar. The spoon is needed for a new empty jar started. I do keep bacon fat in frig AND in freezer when I have a lot of fat...but my regular fat jars sits on counter. (Bacon and Ghee) I buy bacon 3 lbs at time...so occasionally I will cook it all to freeze bacon for recipes. Those are the times when I am careful to make sure I have a spoon in place before adding more than a few Tbsps. Another hint...you do not need to filter bacon fat. Pour the hot/warm fat into jar and let it sit. So I might have multiple small additions. BEFORE I store in frigerator...I microwave till completely melted. Any bits will drop to bottom of jar. When room temp...put in frig or freezer. No need to thaw to take out some of the frozen fat. A butter knife will allow you to cut off a chunk of pure white lard for seasoning your beans or pot of gumbo.

[@Glitch68]

@@tanyabriggs8969 thanks so much for all your info! Unfortunately I live in the south so I would have to store in the fridge when it starts to warm up.

[@holditch1]

@@Glitch68 I've always kept my bacon grease for cooking and I keep it in the fridge. If you strain the grease to get all the little bacon bits, it can be kept on the counter. (I don't bother.) They make bacon grease keepers that are metal and have built in strainers. They look like tiny teapots, so you can heat the grease up on the stove and easily pour a few spoonfuls into your pan.

“Just had a thought…that was super dangerous….humm “ 🤣 The looks you give are priceless! This is why I love your channel Becky, you are real and funny! Oh, everything you make looks delicious! I’ve always been a little creative in my cooking because my mom cooked with what you she had, so she was very creative in feeding a family of seven (5 kids plus her and dad) and any neighbors kid that came over hungry. She never turned anybody away at meal times. Anyway, as I watch your videos I find myself starting to be more creative than ever before. Thank you!

I quit watching her because no one has perfection all the time, and it made me not trust her recipes. When you tell us something tastes great, I know that I can trust you. Also, your mistakes make you so relatable. Thank you for including those. Your honesty is part of your charm. I'm so excited for you on how quickly your channel has grown. You definitely deserve it.😊❤

[@Christen-G]

Quick tip: When ricing potatoes - there is a lip sticking out of the forward end of the press - you can rest that and the bottom of the press right across your pot giving you easier leverage to press the potatoes through.

[@MommaLousKitchen]

Schnitzel fs!!!

[@TheRisingTied]

Hi from germany! :) As someone has already commented - it's called Schnitzel. ♥ You can certainly make Schnitzel from chicken, that's actually pretty common, also from pork or even veal meat. Also, you can totally use a heavy pot or a pan to flatten your meat - I did that for years because I didn't want to invest into a meat tenderizer, it worked well! :) EDIT: You can also totally use all different kinds of crumbs for Schnitzel. Some even use crushed cornflakes. :)

[@AcreHomestead]

Wow Thank you!

[@TheRisingTied]

@@AcreHomestead You're welcome! I rarely ever comment, but I love your videos and that Schnitzel made me smile. I bet it was delicious.

[@NicoleHoltActress]

I was going to pretty much say the same thing :) No need for Panko. Breadcrumbs are the traditional way of making Schnitzel and any meat really goes.

[@katehopkinsbrent5573]

Must have in the pantry is corn flakes. One of my family’s favourites is curried cauliflower topped with crushed corn flakes. SOOoooo yummy

[@traceywye6504]

You can freeze the mash potatoes as is but the hollar homestead dream of left over neok. But you dont have time they can be frozen. For fish pie, sheapard's, cottage pies or what ever you like. Loove leftover mash potatoes.

[@kathkwilts]

A “trick” that my family does is adding some nutmeg to the breadcrumbs. It gives it a really authentic taste… a little nutmeg in the gnocchi dough works well too and, if you want a really German experience, make big balls with your gnocchi dough and simmer, gently, for about 20 minutes in broth or salted water and serve with gravy or buttered bread crumbs on top…

[@lulamamie8524]

Hey Becky!!! The next time you cook 1 medium head of red cabbage add 3 medium cooking apples-cored, peeled, and chopped, along with one large onion - chopped. 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar, 1-1/2 tsp salt, and a tablespoon of sugar.

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but I never check grease temp. I usually just toss a tiny bit of flour in it. If it sizzles it’s ready. Not sure if this is a Midwest thing or not, but that’s how I do it.

Hi Becky, Yes! Korean Red chilli flakes (aka Gochugaru) are awesome to keep on hand. They're essential to making kimchee, homemade spicy chili oil and so many other Korean and Asian foods. Since COVID I've really worked to keep a well-stocked pantry of various core Asian grocery staples and spices on-hand (a lot of their foods are typically dried, preserved or fermented - which is excellent for gut heath - and have a long shelf life for homesteaders like us) . Traditional Asian foods also give a you a chance to mix up the flavor profiles and foods you're making in your kitchen. I've been focusing mostly on Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Indian foods as of late. I also now have a curated Asian herb and vegetable section in my garden (with Thai basil, lemon grass, cilantro galangal, mint, shiso (sesame leaves), Japanese bunching onions, boy choy, red carrots, Asian lettuces - and so on. (I also have built out separate Meditteranian, Indian and Hispanic sections over the years.) Over the years, I learned being prepared and spending time learning about food in the cultures I love, let's me prepare something delicious quickly, less expensively, and ofter more tasty than going out to eat. I've been able to find two great (well priced) Asian grocery stores that will send me everything I need for free for orders over $35 and they guarantee freshness - including herbs, fruits, seaweeds, veggies, fresh noodles, any condiments or sauces I want, etc. They'll ship anywhere in the mainland US. (Lotus Food Online and Weee Asian Grocery.) A couple of super flavorful things to think about having on hand, that last forever if stored properly, as they're fermented are: white, yellow and/or red miso (great for SO many things, and as a marinade.., I'm addicted to miso butter scrambled eggs), gochujang, and doenjang...YT has lots of great recipes you can find to check out what to make with them. (I'm surprised you don't already make your own Kimchi..."Maangchi" is my favorite YT Korean chief - she's old-school, makes things easy, does everything from scratch and is fun to watch. I love your style and watching you do everything you do in your kitchen and to prep....especially your thoughtfullness/mindfulness, good planning - and still having fun and being creative. Keep up the good work!!

[@GreenhavenFarmandHomestead]

Thank you Suzanne for all your recommendations! I grow all of those except for shiso (which I just came across in a recipe on YT yesterday when I was doing research for my easy kimchi video I just filmed. Do you know where can I get seeds for growing my own shiso? I will check out Maangchi…

Cascadia Snap Peas are my absolute favorite thing to grow in the spring! These are the peas have edible pods - that’s where the sweetness juiciness is! I double plant so I can use one row for pinching off the pea shoots using one or two set of leaves for salad eats - they taste just like the sweetest petite peas, very tender, too! Then when I’ve had my fill off pea shoots, I’ll let them grow to produce a later crop of snap peas.

[@Scrapqueen65]

Tonight, when I was making dinner, I found myself explaining what I was doing. Sounds so silly, but I found it helped me plan it out so everything came out at the same time. I’m going to start making the lists that you and your mom do for big meals! I live that idea! Loved the video too!

[@funshine311]

my mom always says to put a metal spoon in a glass container when pouring hot oil. works every time :)

[@kristinasledge-moorhead8832]

For your red cabbage.. my oma’s recipe calls for goose fat, red wine vinegar, apples and sugar

[@lotus....]

That sounds awesome!

[@msariela08]

Pretty impressive 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾 definitely trying the gnocchi recipe!

Hi Becky i was always taught to put a large metal spoon in jar first, then the oil. It has never cracked or broken on me. I thoroughly enjoy your videos.

[@kimgressman1956]

I just love you! Come home everyday after work hoping you’ve posted a new video!

[@angelafleming457]

Wow!! You're such an inspiring young lady!! I've been binge watching your content for the past week. That soup looked absolutely divine!! I could use a bowl or 3 on a cold winters night like tonight. Thank you for sharing your homestead journey!! Very informative!!❤💯🙏🏽

Hej!! In spanish we say milanesas and we eat a lot of them the same day together with rice sallad. Highly appreciated dish!!

[@newmomma221]

I would LOVE an uploaded recipe on Scratch Pantry of the gnocchi recipe. I've struggled for years making this. It's edible but it's always either to sticky or to chewy lol I'm building my homestead and learning so much from you on how to preserve the foods besides just canning it straight forward.

[@lynnkazwell6189]

I love when you taste the food! Your eyes are bright and expressive and you nod your head in approval.😀

[@ericankney5957]

First video I've seen of this channel, and its already earned you a subscriber!

[@pocketminxuk112]

It's really helpful and shows how great you are when showing your 'fails' , it teaches us and we love you even more. I didn't know about using eye potatoes, I've thrown them away also I'm fed up of cabbage going In the bin, didnt know it was okay in fridge. Also, use a wooden rolling pin or a smaller le Crueset pan 😘 in place of a meat tenderizer. I'm very impressed you can lift the large le Crueset, filled with spuds AND water 🤗 I'll be trying some of these recipes Stay safe and well 🎉

[@siljacardel7354]

You're not supposed to eat green or eye potatoes. Green = poisonous/dangerous to eat.

[@michelleboedeker1799]

Spatzle is like dumplings, made with egg and flour. You're thinking of Schnitzle, which is made with pork or veal. But I've made it with chicken. Spatzle in chicken soup, instead of noodles is my ultimate comfort food! My Momo made it all the time. She was Bohemian, and called it something different, but I can't pronounce it or spell it. German, Bohemian/Chezch have a lot of similar foods.

[@Everydaylifewithmarie]

I love those videos so much thank you for the ideas 😍

[@juliaspear9696]

The schnitzel looks deelish, Becky! Thanks for the tip with the Korean pepper flakes. I had never tried it on the veggies until I saw you do it, and they make cauliflower even more amazing !

[@lalalala-cb1qp]

In Poland, the perfect recipe for potato dumplings is as follows: divide boiled potatoes into 4 parts, remove 1 part and add flour. 😉 and also use 1-3 tablespoons of potato flour or another name for potato starch

[@susand5241]

[@firequeen2194]

Yum 😋

[@anahidkassabian4471]

Definitely yum... I will be trying this!

[@smallspaceswithGloria]

What is potato starch, is it dried potatoes,?

[@destinyschild8515]

My Polish Grandmother would saute a little finely minced onion and bread crumbs in butter until lightly browned. She then tossed in the cooked potato dumplings. It is a delicious side dish or eaten by itself.

[@Wuffcakes]

I use a wooden rolling pin to tenderize meat as I don't have a meat tenderizer either. Thank you for another great video :D

Hi Becky 👋 so good to see you. I’ve decided after making it through the pantry challenge for January, I’m going to keep going through February, I’m actually loving this.

[@milliefigueroa5754]

Becky, thank you for your encouragement, I’ve been so intimidated on making something so simple, I will give it a world and that soup looks slammin, Cooking has always been my passion, I don’t have much of appetite, but soup is my comfort zone, I make big batches, freeze and heat up whenever I need that hug in a bowl🙏🏼🙌🏼🍲😘🌹

[@lindaslater6804]

Becky you’re so cute when you taste a new dish you tilt your head slightly and close your eyes as you consider whether it’s a win or not. I’m going to try this recipe this week! Thank you for you!

[@treatsandtravels06]

Yesss! I do use Gochugaru flakes ( I’m half Korean ) but either way it’s a great staple to have in the kitchen . Much love ❤️ from KSA

[@afterthought72]

How hot is Gochugaru ? What would you compare the taste to ?

[@treatsandtravels06]

@@afterthought72 I would compare it to crushed red pepper flakes it’s not extremely hot 🥵 the more u add yes but I’m not heavy handed when it comes to spiced seasonings

[@mikaduchna1987]

Mashed potatoes, chicken/pork cutlets and some kind of cabbage side is soooo Polish style dinner :D We eat mashed potatoes like crazy;) (In fact potatoes are main source of vitamin C in Poland despite the fact that they contain not a lot of it... xD) ...and we make those kind of gnocchi from mashed potatoes (called 'kopytka') as well- we serve them typically with a pork lard with crackings or just a beef goulash:) YUM!

[@susand5241]

Czescz!

[@kaitiemarie9572]

Yes I remember lots of boiled potatoes with parsley when I was in Poland. And delicious soup and fruit tea.

Looks great Chicken works just as well as pork. Veal makes a fantastic schnitzel. Have you ever made german red cabbage with apples and cloves? It can also be canned for future meals. Thanks for showing the steps for gnocchi.

[@jennifermoisan9914]

My mother used to make the cabbage with apples and onions. She knife shredded the cabbage and sautéed it in a pan. She added a liquid but I don’t remember what it was. For some reason cider vinegar comes to mind

[@pjk1714]

@@jennifermoisan9914 depending on head, quarter to half cup cider vinegar. You can substitute with stock if not canning. 2 to 3 cloves and 1 granny Smith peeled and chopped in tiny cubes. We started with quarter cup lard but I use butter and less grape seed to soften cabbage after glazing red onion, Apple and spice.

[@jennifermoisan9914]

@@pjk1714 thank you for the help with the ingredients. My memory from when I was a kid is a bit vague lol. I remember the vinegar smell. Mom said it helped to sweeten and at the same time add a bit of sour. I’m going to try making it this week

[@lisabaughman887]

The gnocchi looks awesome. Quick tip for storing potatos, other root crops, tubers and just about anything else is to use Styrofoam coolers. I live in a climate that gets cold in the winter and keep the coolers in my garage. Around 1 month before planting season ( for me it is May) things start trying to grow and that is ok. Good luck.

[@nickimauger7179]

I'm going to try this next winter. I can never get my potatoes to store long enough to plant and always have to buy seed potatoes. Thank you!!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Lisa Baughman Don’t they rot from not being able to have airflow?

[@lisabaughman887]

@@cynthiafisher9907 nope. The only root crop I have had problems with are sweet potatoes. I believe I didn't cure them that well and it got way to cold as that year it got down to -11 and they were on the bottom of a stacked coolers. I do go through the containers and search for items that are starting to show signs of rot and pitch those, but to be honest not that much gets pitched. My cannas and other delicates are in coolers also and I keep those in a room that isn't heated in the house at about 50 degrees and they are ready to be replanted every year also.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@lisabaughman887 Thats so cool, thanks for the info and the feedback. I wonder if the sweet potatoes have more moisture in them and have different storage requirements? I know I have more trouble storing them just for a short time.

Great video ! I want to try my hand at gnocchi sometime. I don’t fry often either but an Aunt taught me to throw 3-4 popcorn kernels in the oil while it’s heatingand when they pop it’s ready.

[@tanyabriggs8969]

Oh dear...I tried that once as a young wife and with the popped kernels I had a big splatter of oil on my wrist. Never tried that again. Now I just use a thermometer OR a chop stick.

[@jurassica2504]

Becky for your marinated meats for freezer meals - do you thaw, marinate and re freeze? Or does butcher box come refrigerated?

[@jeaninecomartin7380]

I’m assuming she does. I receive my meat from butcher box as well and it does come frozen. I’m Canadian though so maybe it’s different in the states??
