Making a Years Worth of Pesto with Onion Tops | Harvest to Table Recipe

[@onelittlemiracle241]

Definitely film your multitasking! That’s real life and we definitely need the encouragement.

[@AcreHomestead]

All I want is to encourage so I will keep it up!!

[@plentifulprairie]

Agree, it's practical and how most people live. It's bonus content!

[@justmyself3656]

I also agree. It's definitely pertinent as well as enjoyable! Wonderful videos. No time to get bored or restless and move on! I don't have to force myself to watch it all, and that is awesome and not that common. 😊😊😊

[@kaseymalone9885]

It felt more relatable, I loved it

[@abbysbud1]

You are absolutely amazing honey!!! Thanks for what you do❤️

[@magicacre8686]

Did anyone els just binge watch almost all of her videos !?! Just ran across your channel. Your inspiring ! I’d Love to see everything you do in your busy cooking/canning/harvesting days! Also I would love to see a follow up on the potatoes, like what did you do with them after they started growing to prevent green potatoes . I planted some but I don’t know what to do with them now that they have grown almost as big as my tomato plants .

[@AcreHomestead]

Wow that is so sweet! I just added grass clipping and more leaves

[@AcreHomestead]

This is only my second year growing potatoes and last year I did it in raised beds and didn't hill them.....

[@AcreHomestead]

But I planted them like 12 inches deep

[@magicacre8686]

Thank you so much! I have a lot of grass clipping so I will do that I appreciate the advice ! I planted them in just the ground ( my first garden) . Keep up the videos! Love watching you, and getting inspiration and ideas !

Strong women both of you.

[@crymanellie7098]

I love the little extra quiche that you made with the pesto. I also love how you do all your prep work and put together your meals.

[@rebeccainspiringhope4357]

I love the multitasking. Some times I just play your videos while I’m multitasking in my kitchen, we aren’t even doing the same thing! But you’re working hard and I’m working hard too!

[@loverizzato9081]

I do a year of pesto too. I plant 6 sweet basil in buckets and get them 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide by watering everyday and topping them to keep growing. Makes 20 pints. Neighbors and inlaws get pampered!

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

I like that lettuce leaf basil. Gigantic. Mmmm!

[@jenniferedwards176]

Definitely multitasking. The way you utilise as much as you can, of time, oven, stovetop and ingredients is educational and inspiring.

[@AcreHomestead]

YAY ok I will! Thank you Jennifer!

[@MissBetsyLu]

@@AcreHomestead yeah have at it! Go for it! Great job! And blessings to all of you.

I grow onions and leeks every year but haven't thought to use the tops in a pesto! Great job!!!!

[@AcreHomestead]

i hope you make pesto!

[@maryjane-vx4dd]

@@AcreHomestead I will next year when I have more onions

[@helenaalexandra4197]

Leek tops are also good in asparagus cream soup!

[@emiliequesnel8661]

I’ve just found out this year you’re not supposed to use the green tops of leeks 😅 I’ve always seen my dad use them and always have used them too.

[@helenaalexandra4197]

I have found that I have to cut the leek top pretty finely (or puree) and cook them till they are tender. They add a delightful onion flavor without the harsh bite. You're not supposed to use them in cooking cause they are so "tough".

[@oldcalir.e.broker9094]

By all means do what you like. Multitasking in the kitchen is an art everyone can learn.

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Hi Becky, your cooking skills are a delight. You are fearless in your ability to try new things and your channel is a joy to watch. Take care.

[@sandynightingale273]

I want what everyone wants. Seeing you doing your thing in the kitchen and garden. How to utilize with little waste. I didn't know that I could freeze cherry tomatoes. Thank you for your informative and interesting videos 💞

[@AcreHomestead]

frozen fresh tomatoes are the best year round.

[@carlac.6086]

I love to watch people cook. I don't care if they have a recipe. I cook with what I like to eat. Sometimes is edible.... sometimes not. It's a learning process. I think recipes are guide lines and then you make it you own.

[@AcreHomestead]

Haha I totally agree that sometimes they are edible and sometimes not!! That is so me and sometimes they are amazing but I can't totally recreate it lol

[@josettereto4497]

I’ve been making pesto with basil and spinach for years but never thought to use onion tops. This looks delicious!

[@AcreHomestead]

I hope you like it

[@kristinatidwell6563]

How much spinach is required to make 12 pints of pesto?

[@josettereto4497]

@@kristinatidwell6563 I’m not sure. I was gifted a few 5oz containers of spinach. I don’t measure and I did not put it in pint jars.

[@haleycarolina85]

Omg... I just found you and I'm in LOVE! This is SUCH an enjoyable style of filming! So many good tips and tricks, and I loved seeing all the stuff you were doing at the same time in the kitchen. Now I get to go binge watch the rest of your videos!

[@MissBetsyLu]

She is one talented Lady.

[@brookelynturner5684]

You mentioned the pesto being good on eggs (then made a quiche! 😅) and it made me think of a small mom-and-pop restaurant near me that makes "green eggs and ham" which is an omelet with ham, but they beat pesto into the eggs before they make the omelet. It's SO good!

[@gianny2977]

there's a breakfast restaurant in hawaii that has that in their menu! great idea haha

[@donnarivera1752]

Good morning I love your cooking and canning and freezing I have learn a lot from you

[@MissBetsyLu]

Sounds good!

[@Laydera]

Please always feel free to say what else is going on in the background. Learn lots watching you 'make do' with what's left and get creative with it.

[@AcreHomestead]

OK awesome! I liked showing it and I will do more of it :)

[@cecesalas6216]

Your content is very enjoyable. I like watching people go about their home teaching others what they know, enjoy, or are currently learning. Personally, it feels like we're hanging out, so I enjoy the DITL "tag-along's" as much as any other video you put up. I think your whole look, lifestyle, and approach to life speaks to a lot of ladies and is therefore enjoyable. At least that's the way it is for me.

[@AcreHomestead]

I appreciate that! You are sweet! thanks for hanging out with me :)

[@mairzydotes3548]

This looks fantastic and what a nice thing to have ready to go. One thing I do is freeze my pesto thicker, more like a paste. That way i can use it as a spread for sandwiches or wraps. If I want to use for pasta, I add more oil, broth or pasta water to thin. I use walnuts too . Like the taste and the price. :)

[@sweetpeaallie79]

Definitely include what you’re doing in the background along with the recipes you’re highlighting; it’s so much more interesting, as well as consistent with what the rest of us are also doing at home. If I don’t have 5 different things I’m accomplishing in my kitchen around the same time, then it’s not a normal day, lol.

[@LifePrepared]

I love to use carrot tops in pesto as well. Another part of the plant most people waste. If you forage, lambs quarters make good pesto too. Lamb's quarter tends to take over many gardens so why not eat it?

[@AcreHomestead]

Great idea!

[@Loki-fl1rk]

I do that, too! I wouldn't dare to call it a pesto in front of an itallian, but it tastes soooo good.

[@TammyCatJo]

Your work ethic and style of cooking/living is inspiring. Whatever you want to show or teach or talk about, I’m here for it. :)

I would love to see you just being you. Meaning I think it's great to see what you have going on around you. Because we would theoretically notice that you had a little left over and it wasn't that big of a deal to toss, but it was still exciting to see that you used it in a quiche. Plus it's always fun to see what other people throw together for a dish. 🤪😊 Thank you for all your hard work and showing us what you do! I just found your channel tonight. Have been binge-watching. 😁

There was a Chinese woman buy so I asked her how to use them(she was horrified when she found out I was throwing them away). She said she used them in stir fries,then I found a recipe in Mother Earth News for pesto similar to yours. I do everything by sight and taste
