Me too, I was just about to say the same thing. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@q2hearts14]

I loved it when you have guest appearances. Hopefully we'll see more of your husband soon and maybe he won't be so camera shy but who am I to talk I have videos with me cooking but it doesn't show my face either so I definitely understand

You have beautiful parents. I nearly cried seeing how your dad just shows up for the clean up to clearly show his appreciation for the work that’s been done. They have a beautiful home :-)

Love that mom explains things. She is a KZbin natural!!

[@edithjones1995]

Mom needs her own channel. We love her ❤

[@karenswidzinski6071]

One tip I learned about tasting while you're cooking so you don't have to keep getting a clean spoon is to use your large stirring utensil to drop some sauce etc. onto your "tasting" spoon. That way you can just keep using the same small spoon to taste for seasoning. Not sure if how I worded it makes sense?

[@missjones8123]

or just put the food in your hand and wash ur hands.. thats what i do

[@robertlavigne6560]

I put my tasting into a small bowl with a spoon in it. If I spill some it doesn't make a mess.

[@patriciaforch4252]

I never gave the shells to chickens. Now I crush them in a can. I then put them in the blender with water when it is time to plant tomatoes. Pour some in the bottom of the hole and plant. No longer have blossom end rot at my house. Oh and do it again in July, since you have eggshells again! I am Zone 5.

[@wildaboutalaska3833]

Your mom is adorable! I love how you dropped everything to spent the day with her❤️

Every time i watch Acre Homestead's cooking vids I am motivated to do a whole batch of freezer prep.

I just added that I was 15 when my mum died. We are two of a kind. It is terrible to think what we missed.

Your mom is totally cracking me up, showing the camera everything up close. LOL! Watching you to cook is like watching a split screen movie, the younger version and the older version of the main character. Too cute.

[@Miztryst]

Just a warning - you should always clean and sort pinto beans. There are often stones that will break a tooth if missed.

[@corinnerines-gonzalez7017]

Yep sorted some stones out of my winco beans today. Learned that lesson the hard way!!

[@danielleburchette2599]

What a wonderful Mom you have. ❤️ The compassion she's showing here, is something alot of us have forgotten about. How much better would the world be if we all did the same. 🥰🥰🥰

[@afmama5748]

Your mom is so stinking cute! I would love to see a video of her camping meals. Keep up the great work!!

[@Sara-xk1ns]

It’s so obvious you and your moms love language is food and cooking for loved ones. And you both seem to enjoy it so much, it never feels like a chore or an annoyance for you guys to cook for others, it’s really refreshing to see.

[@MrsRedAng]

Everything looked so good! You ladies are amazing! And Dad cleaning up, nice job! Happy Birthday Josh🎂

At 17:30 a chunk of cookie dough flung in to the lasagna! Lol 😂 everything looks great!

[@FlowersInTheVase_]

I have a tip for getting rid of the smell of old jar lids that Becky's mom mentioned. It's a bit of a process but after washing, let them air dry for a few days, then put coffee grounds in a jar and screw the lid, after a few days take it off and air dry again. It'll smell a bit like coffee but won't impart a flavor to whatever you wanna store in the jars

[@Admiration1962]

So glad you take time for your Mom. Mine has passed and I miss those times more than I can say.

[@pagirl913.]

♥️

[@carolyndymond5521]

Yes it's sad! I did a lot with my mum and I so miss both my parents.

Swimming lessons saved my 5 year old Grand daughter's life when she fell in the pond while her dad's back was turned while mowing. She treaded water until her dad saw her in the pond! So cool you taught swimming lessons.

[@kathykeating9641]

Hi Becky, I'm one of your new subscribers. Thank you for sharing your life with us all. I loved watching you and your mother cooking together in the kitchen.❤ I brought back memories of when my mother and I used to cook together. I'm 68 years old now, and mamma has been gone since 2016. But I cherish those memories of being with my mother in the kitchen, laughing, and talking, and making good food together. You are truly blessed Becky to have your mother with you. Thank you for sharing this video.❤❤

[@sherriemyles2776]

You can also spray the foil so the cheese won't stick.

[@heatherchrisco9106]

I love these videos of y'all cooking together! That's so sweet of your Dad to clean up for y'all to relax and spend time together! Everything looks so delicious!!!

[@susiescofield1930]

I love watching you cook with your mom. She is so organized and has such good hints. I would love to see more with her and also your mother-in-law. Both appear so kind.

[@vickiwills9950]

With all the chaos and sadness in the world right now it is so delightful and refreshing to see Acre Homestead pop up with a new video!!! Becky you have been blessed with a gift that draws people to you! We love your cooking, prepping meals, preserving and gardening all the things we're learning but...honestly most of it's just you! I'm 68 and I get so much joy and pleasure watching your videos! I found your channel about 9 months ago and subscribed right then and have been so excited but not surprised to watch your numbers soar and I've shared to several friends! Thank you for bringing back what so many of us had growing up...it's so beautiful to see a young person with a passion for food something we all need to survive but I think your bringing families back together at the dinner table!! Much love and blessings to you and your adorable family!😊🙏❤

It’s fabulous how comfortable your mom is in front of the camera. Great job ladies

[@sharons6290]

Love the idea of the tabs on the parchment paper, been using it for yrs but never thought of the tabs, thanks When I make my lasagna I alternate direction of the noodle on each layer. (length ways and then width ways) I find that it stay together better when cutting and serving. Everything looked good, beautiful cake and Happy Birthday Josh

I love ur mom and her engagement with the camera. Thank you for having her on as well. Love seeing her tips and tricks in addition to your own.

Becky I also was on swim team when I was young. Also synchronized swim team. I taught swimming for 30+ years. I’m 73 and my 2 daughters were lifeguards also during high school and college. Now my 14 year old granddaughter is on the National swim team in Germantown Md. she qualified at the Junior Olympic to go to the Nationals in Florida last week. My 8 year old granddaughter started swim team when she was 4 years old. She is number one in her age group 8-9 year old. Can’t wait to see how far they go. Love watching them swim.

[@littlesuzie6672]

Oh! I just love the videos with your beloved Mummy!! 🤗 (and your MIL too! She’s also fantastic!) And yes Mummy’s totally right regarding freezing your garlic. It’s the best way to preserve your harvest, for when using fresh has passed it’s time. Don’t even bother to peel them, just split the bulb into individual cloves, and put them in a zip lock bag & into the freezer. Then you have home grown garlic to use as needed, all year round. It keeps perfectly, you’d never know the difference between fresh and frozen/thawed use in cooking. Keep up the great work ladies! Another excellent video ❤️

[@sallyalter6003]

If you don't have parchment paper, you can just spray oil on the foil to avoid sticking. I even do this when baking, so no cheese sticks to the foil while baking.

Hi Becky! t's been disproven that salting beans makes them take longer to cook. Epicurious among others tested it both ways. I now salt not only when cooking, but also when soaking. They cook up fine and taste better, for the same reason that pasta tastes better when you salt the cooking water.
