Making Dinner Right Out of the Garden and More!

[@moonbubbles3046]

You really are a remarkable person. Probably TMI but there’s a point to my rambling - I’m currently watching you from my in-home hospital bed where I spend most of my time. I am terminally ill with an incurable lung disease that has taken away most of my mobility due to breathlessness/low oxygen. But watching you as you prepare, harvest, cook, and take care of your family - it lets me sort of live vicariously through you and allows me to temporarily leave this bed behind and enjoy being in a bright and beautiful kitchen again, cooking from scratch (as I so loved to do). It’s interesting too because I do many things in the kitchen the same way you do. Well I used to anyway. Lol When you’re out in the garden beds I can almost smell the pungency of the tomato plants and earthiness of the soil. Amazing. Please enjoy every one of these moments to the fullest. Feel the pride in all the amazing things you accomplish fully and wholly and never take any of this for granted. Thank you for allowing all of us this glimpse of your homestead and your life - truly. ❤

Thank you Becky for your consistent joyful output. Watching your videos are my sanctuary from the chaos of life, you have inspired this Nana to enhance my cooking skills and try some things I never felt I could do. Have a blessed day all! ❤

[@ashdukesbear9700]

I’ll second that! ☝️

[@mike44nypd]

I’ll third that!!!! 😮

[@lilcampingirl]

And I shall fourth that! 😊

I’ll fifth it I made a apple pie bread it was so so good I used applesauce instead of oil

[@nrobinson7951]

Hi Becky, you sure got a lot done, good job. Your super looks amazing, Thanks so much for bringing us along with you. I have tried some things that I didn't ever think I would, thanks to you, you make things look easy. Blessings

[@SilverHairedLady]

Anyone else feel like the chickens are just happy and saying thank you lol.

[@redlindsaym39]

I am so thankful I found your channel. Your life seems like an idyllic dream. I am sure you have your own ups and downs but you seem authentic, happy and grateful. I aspire to have the joy in my life you show in yours.

[@AcreHomestead]

Aw thanks so much! I am so happy you are here :)

[@jeanninemcwhorter919]

I want to know this lady’s story. She’s a workhorse! Who’s videoing her if her husband isn’t there? Did she own a restaurant at some point? I truly admire her so much ❤

[@amyrivers4093]

​@@jeanninemcwhorter919I'll try and answer your questions for you but I suggest you go back and watch her past videos to see where she started to where she is today. She films herself and when you see her from afar she sets up the camera. No she didn't own a restaurant. Her journey is fascinating as she is so honest and shows what goes right and the things that she will change next time. She is Brilliant and so positive. Have fun watching her videos.

[@spontaneousun]

@@jeanninemcwhorter919 I don’t know Becky personally, but I’ve been watching since she had around 5K subscribers. She’s talked about your questions in the past, so I thought I could give you a few answers. Basically, she was a dental technician before she became a full time KZbinr. She has never owned a restaurant or worked in the food industry, she is a home cook with a serious passion for local food and gardening. Before she had land she could garden on she used to be a member of various CSA’s and she’d buy bulk amounts to can from local farmers and farmers markets. Before she learned to can she froze a bunch of stuff. Basically you’re seeing the product of over a decade of consistent and deliberate skill building when it comes to cooking, preserving, and more recently gardening. Pretty neat!

[@barbhaley1820]

I just love the chirps your chickens make when you give them goodies. So cute

[@lindabirkes-lance8915]

Thank you for taking us along to feed the chickens. The girls 🐓 sound so cute as they are talking to you. ♥️

[@bwaliciawb]

So happy I found your channel a few weeks ago. I've binged so many videos, made a few recipes, and I'm feeling so inspired by you. This is the nicest comment section, as well. So refreshing! ♥️

[@AcreHomestead]

Aw thanks so much for being here! Your kind words mean the world to me :)

[@MrsFazz68]

Let me tell you have come across a charm here 😊 Becky and her channel are/is wholesome, inspiring, educational and so enjoyable to watch 😊😊

[@patjones5723]

Gotta' be honest.....The best part of this video (for Me anyway) is the "cooing" of the chicken's when you gave them all the scrap's 🥰🐓

[@EvelynCruz-tx1iw]

Josh couldn't wait to show off his wife's cupcakes! That's so sweet.

[@uberurbana4894]

I just found your channel about 6 mos ago, and I just want to say what a joy it has been to me. I'm always saddened when it comes to an end....sometimes I rewatch the same video...sometimes I watch one that I have seen and sometimes I try to find an older one that I haven't seen. I like that your husband is in your videos some, but what I like most is that you don't expose your child to the world. I think we all should have some privacy in our lives. I would like for you though to one day, show us your dog food recipes. I think that would make a good video that lots of ppl would really be interested in seeing.

[@AcreHomestead]

aw thanks so much for your kind words and for being here :)

[@leahdusenberry9765]

Just wanted to tell you when you walked into your garden room it was so bright clean and pretty I remember all the work you did last year on it and boy did it pay off looks lovely

Yay! My favorite time of day - Becky video time!!

[@karenshepherd2412]

I love the sound of your very happy chickens. Please feature them more often. They are joyful, and most of us are not zoned for livestock, so we can live vicariously through you! ❤🥰❤

[@sampsojm]

I like when you show us the chickens enjoying your scraps!

[@k.j.krimson2590]

My girls are getting old, too. 🐓🐓 In fact, two have recently passed away, and I have two left. They are living out their best backyard chicken lives. I love taking them treats every day. It's a bummer that they no longer lay, but they did for years, so now it's their time to rest, relax, and enjoy their retirement. 🐓❤🐓

[@rosa.athome]

Twinkies and cupcakes as a gym snack = balance 😂😂

[@AcreHomestead]

Haha I know right lol

[@cookiebutler-l3e]

@@AcreHomestead i'm new, i've noticed you have no isses discussing your family, your dad, mom sisters, husband sisters kids, yet saw a video you ahve a kid or kids to yet never mention them only mention feeding you and your husband nor and the kids

[@preppingmama]

@@cookiebutler-l3ethey don’t share about him online.

[@frequentdiner4635]

@@cookiebutler-l3e In one of her sit down Q&A videos Becky said she and Josh made the decision to keep their son off the channel to preserve his privacy. She has also stated she will never put anyone on who doesn't want to be. Her parents are in quite a few videos as is her MIL, her sisters and a sis-in-law have been in a couple. Josh is uncomfortable being in front of the camera which is why he does a lot of taste tests off camera, though he is getting better. She has a brother we've never seen and she has never shown any of the nieces or nephews. I'm sure some of that is for safety as well as privacy, which just makes sense these days. Hope this helps.

[@MrsBrit1]

Cookiebutler, she said when she had her son that she would be keeping him and his life private because she not comfortable sharing about children online. He is nearly 2 now, I believe, so won't be eating a ton yet and she usually says Josh or "my family" by way of meaning them and their son. Also, the adults she has mentioned have been in some videos in the past. Her parents frequently appear in videos, and her MIL and one of her sisters have also done videos. Some of them even have their own KZbin channels.

Why are chickens so darn cute? Their little happy noise makes my heart sing!❤Dinner looked delicious!

[@sarahgroves8477]

Jade green beans are also my favorite. I grew three varieties this summer and did a blind taste comparrison with my family. Everyone agreed, without knowing what they were eating, that Jade was their favorite as well

[@mustwereallydothis]

Noted! Thanks 😊

[@cblevins4962]

Agreed! Planted 3 varieties this year, Jade at the end of the season and they are by far our favorite. Will only plant them, with maybe a few pole beans thrown in since I did save those seeds.

[@susanfuqua4707]

I LOVE IT!!!! she's gardening in her slippers!!!! my kinda gal!!!

[@Grma2ssii]

Becky, every time you walk by your beautiful rhubarb bed I wonder if you ever freeze any of it? We used to grow rhubarb in our small garden and I discovered that it freezes beautifully. I make strawberry rhubarb pies, fresh rhubarb cake, rhubarb sauce, etc. if you and your family love rhubarb, you can have it available all year if you freeze it now. You had a beautiful garden and harvest this season!

[@AcreHomestead]

I don't because I cook with it while fresh and then we don't really want to eat it out of season so I have learned it's not worth freezing it. Thanks your kind words!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I love when she walks by and just love how it looks as a foundation planting! It takes me right back to childhood when it seemed like everyone had a rhubarb patch at the side of the house or garage.

[@nantzlynn77]

Thank you for showing the chickens!!! OMG, made my day 😁

[@JOHANNA-qd6iz]

When making mash potatoes do a big batch and freeze in portions, saves a lot of time.

My favorite Becky videos are her garden videos. But my best friend (who also loves Beckys videos) loves all her cooking videos the most. We all have our favorites, dont we. I enjoy all her videos, of course, I just really prefer the ones in the garden, and the ones where she preserves the food from the garden!!! 😊❤✌️

My dog loves carrots and fresh green beans! Oh and dehydrated apple slices 😊

Thank you so much!

[@NettyBird16]

My husband's Dad always had a big garden. When they got tired of green beans they would make the following.....Steam the beans, when done, put 2 T brown sugar, dab of vinegar (2T?) diced onions, and chopped cooked bacon. This is so, so, good!

[@joyt7754]

This is my favorite way to prepare green beans. Works well even with store bought canned green beans

Hi Becky, you can actually pick all the green tomatoes(not just blushing) and they will ripen inside. That's what I do every year in my zone 2b garden. I haven't noticed much of a difference in flavour for sauce!

[@sharongarverick4163]

So look forward to seeing you

[@rogergreener9457]

I love the smell of Fall. People think I'm crazy when I tell them that, but each season has its smell. Bluelake greenbeans are the variety my mom had good luck and canned in northern Indiana. One year she grew a purple d thing bean and when she canned then they turned green

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Enjoyed the video. Thank you. Blessings

[@ec9401]

If you want to, you could cover the beds with straw (local unsprayed) or leaves and let that be your weed barrier, and then you can just pull it off in spring and compost it, or pull it aside for each planting hole or row and amend each hole or row. But I think you’re using landscape fabric because you have it! I just wanted to give you an idea ❤️ Happy harvesting!

[@dianaewing4760]

I love that you too garden in slippers ❤

[@chriskryzak604]

My husband calls that "barn slippers" when you wear them outside 😅

[@liddierose7063]

When your peppers get about half grown if you cut off the top of the plant all the growth will go to the peppers. We use to grow lots of then one time. We planted several kinds of peppers we planted the jalapeños to close and all of our peppers were hot e en the bell pepper s.

[@ElaineR.-ft6tu]

Hi. Becky, I know you’ve had a ton of green beans. I thought you might like this recipe . Either roast or steam your beans. In a bowl mix the following, cherry tomatoes, garlic, Panko. Crumbs, parsley, and Parmesan cheese, S+P, with some good olive oil. When beans are done Lay on platter. Add the mix across hot beans. In the middle. Serve right away. The veggie mix on the beans is yummy. I’ve used this mix on asparagus and zucchini too. This “ recipe “isn’t really one as no amounts are given, but also not needed. I hope you try it anyway.

[@AcreHomestead]

Wow that sounds so yummy!! Thanks for sharing

[@lauradamato6332]

[@barbmentzer7001]

My husband and I grew some of the largest peppers we’ve ever grown…Revolution…heavy producer and large beautifully shaped. Also saw a video recently showing how they put dried bean pods in a paper bag and just shake it like crazy, gets the seeds right out!

Hi Becky! You are my “relaxing mental break” to watch and decompress. ❤ Was wondering why you don’t use a weed whipper to cut those plants down if no disease?? May save lots on the hand cramp. Pulling plants may be easier with wetter soil. Just a few helpful thoughts. Dinner sounds good. 🎉

I have been watching you for about two weeks now. I really enjoy watching and listening. I think you're a very organized good cook. I think your husband is very lucky. You have a beautiful house and the kitchen is to die for. Everything is so handy with the drawers and all the space. I like the idea of meal prepping but it's just me so I have to cut things down. But I'm also all into eating fresh and organic and trying really hard to stay away from all chemical foods. Keep up the good work.I'm really enjoying all of it.

[@frequentdiner4635]

You should do an ASMR video of just your chickens eating goodies you've given them. I swear I could watch it every day ... or at least every other while waiting for a new Becky video!
