Good afternoon, friends! I just wanted to take a moment to let you all know that my heart and prayers are with everyone who has been or is currently being affected by these devastating hurricanes. I’m not always the best with words, but seeing the destruction and knowing what could still happen has really shaken me. I’m lifting you all up in prayer for safety and protection - Becky

[@LilCraftyNook]

Thanks so much, sweetie! ❤

[@melodypearson4967]

Thank you Becky. It does mean a lot. I am from Bradenton Florida which is right in the direct path of Milton. I am a lunch lady and am working a school shelter. We have over 1,100 people in this elementary school and we are still getting more. My family stayed at our home while I am here. We've done everything to our house to make it as ready as possible. Prayers are always more than welcome, thank you.

[@Cherokee1017]

[@maryh8230]

Thank you, Becky. Florida family here. We're all praying. Wonderful to have a new video from you to pick up our spirits. ❤

[@angec9908]

Thank you! Evacuation was harrowing.

[@lindamclean674]

I was happy to see that Mandy in the Making and family are all ok and am hoping the O’Donohue’s are also safe. After spending literally all night on Tik Tok praying with folks from Florida and worrying about their safety, I was so happy to find a new episode of yours. We all need a little break from this stressful situation and you provided it for me today. Thank you for all you do. On a lighter note, it’s soooo much easier to caramelize onions in the slow cooker. I fill mine to the brim with onions, add a splash of evoo and let it do its thing. I usually do this first thing in the morning or right before I go to bed. They turn out amazingly well and making more allows me to freeze some for future use. Enjoy your party!

[@ClareCharlton-z4q]

Hi Becky!! Most definitely, i would love a video about making sour dough bread!! This is something I want to try and master too!! Xx❤

[@godisamazing7074]

That's a big chicken. Becky u r a sweetheart. Your always thinking of others.

[@sarah082177]

Im here in Brooksville, Fl...we are as ready for the hurricane as we can be. Pounding rain all ready....but power and internet are still on for now, so I'm enjoying a lovely Becky video❤. God bless you and our state too❤

[@TheNoTillGardener]

Good luck to you. Stay safe. My godson is in your town and I spoke with him this morning. They have battened down the hatches as much as possible. May the storm’s impact be light and surprise us all in a happy way.

[@annieno1]

Your party prepping videos are my favourite ♥️

[@deedeemooreco.2304]

Becky, I add minced capers in my warm bacon dressing for my wilted spinach salads (just remember that capers and Parmigiana Reggiano have a lot of salt, so omit any salt in recipe). In lemon dressing for any fish and/or chicken picada. I think capers are one of the most overlooked ingredients for anything chicken or fish.

[@DebbieSimmons-wl8wq]

I like to Caramelized onions in butter! The favor is delicious! Yes, gruyere is perfect! I use gruyere on top of homemade French onion soup!

[@wendyarrayga3465]

Yes please to the sour dough. I haven’t had much luck making my own starter but I just ordered and received a 225 year old starter from Etsy. I can’t wait to reconstitute it and start baking. You’ve been such an inspiration to me with all things food from scratch!💕😊

I love the dinner party episodes! The menu sounds Devine for the Fall! Carmelized onion Mac n cheese would be a great side for our next big family dinner with my kids and grandkids Yum!

[@corrineostman7965]

Best part of the day! A new Becky video!

[@TheNoTillGardener]

Trader Joe’s has a pre shredded Gruyère and Swiss combination that works well for Mac and cheese; great for au gratin potatoes and any scalloped dish as well. I love to make large amounts of caramelized onions in the crock pot. Butter, onions, salt and let them cook on low overnight Viola! Lovely caramelized onions ready to use in so many ways or process by freezing. Perfect for French onion soup with Gruyère croutons too!

[@MandaPandaBailey]

Your dinner parties are always so gorgeous. ❤️

[@jubistar99]

Hi Becky!! Love your channel… ❤

[@Cyndimrktorres]

The Mac and cheese sounds so delicious! I might try this next holiday!

[@gladysrichard6088]

Try the airfryer for croutons!! Yummy especially with stale homemade bread.

[@Lilredfrog4576]

Hi Becky, i have to admit, I find it fascinating that you all eat so many Brussels, being a bit older than you I just remember them as soggy bitter things 😂

[@DianeR-wz3dm]

Makes me shudder to contemplate eating them. They haven’t crossed my lips since I married and left home.

Hi Becky!! Watching from Ocala, Fl waiting for the storm to pass as I watch your show. You said you wish you had used the olive oil in the salad dressing, but it looks like you did put it in. Love your channel ❤

I bet those carmelized onions with the balsamic would be awesome on pizza! That mac and cheese looks wonderful, and I'm wondering, would you add more onions inside the dish next time or was that enough?

Okay well I'm going to try brown sugar and balsamic with my caramelized onions

[@rosekisiel3383]

Becky, if you do the sourdough, could you start it in a live show and let us know the ingredients. I have been dying to do sourdough but it seems intimidating.

Good day Becky!!!! I want to try the chicken soooo badly. Tell your family we say hello from Union Gap Wa

Do you have a video on your basil salt preparation?

[@sheliaheverin8822]

I would love someone to do a step by step, day by day sourdough video. I have failed 3 times.

[@KimH-ic6ne]

I just learned that you can add a little cornstarch to the Gruyère and it will help soak up some of the grease that Gruyère put out. 🙂 Do you ask about food allergies when planning your parties? I almost killed my cousin using avocado oil (she has a latex allergy) 😂

[@AcreHomestead]

Great idea!! And yes I do :) that wouldn’t have been a good ending!

[@kathyaspinwall8957]

Becky, I was wondering…..do you find yourself explaining your steps when cooking alone in the kitchen(sans cameras)?

[@AcreHomestead]

Nope :)

[@AB-ol5uz]

curious why don't you use your food processor to slice your onions?

[@donnaharratt]

I rece.tly trueddrying my garlic papers and nlitzing them in the food processor. They add a subtle garlic flavour that adds depth to many dishes you. Ill be doing this again from now on for sure !!!

[@snuffelbuf]

Did you see the tiktok on how a person peels garlic with a spoon? Theres one out there. I wanted to send it to you but I can't find it anymore. Sorry

[@nicolecode8817]

I love your videos. However; 5 course meals are hard for me to follow. Enjoy your party tho!

[@AcreHomestead]

See you next time :)

[@nicolecode8817]

@AcreHomestead lol, I am now watching your crinkle cookie video from last year!

[@Debbie-72]

​@@AcreHomesteadBecky, Mary from Mary's Nest (KZbin channel) She has a foolproof recipe for sourdough. She uses rye flour to start with and then you can use which ever flour you want. I attempted sourdough many times and I just couldn't do it. When I found this method I finally was successful.

[@shirleyvastine9328]

Just wondering why onions need washing after peeling? You grow them organically, I thought.

[@AcreHomestead]

I do but they have actual dirt on them :)

[@MokaandChai]

Becky time ❤

[@KateEASN]

Wow, 4 seconds in 😊

[@jaywellington6504]

But you ARE a professional, Becky. Your career and what you are being paid for is cooking and homesteading. I'm sure Ina Garten and Martha Stewart edit out most of their "oops" moments. And to be honest, you are just as enjoyable to watch... if not more. 🤗 724,000+ people appear to agree with me. :)

[@patriciaober4647]

Macaroni and cheese is a child's simple lunch. Why would you serve that at a dinner party?

[@AcreHomestead]

Because it’s so so yummy :)

[@Rylee-l5k]

Sourdough doesn’t interest me at all.

[@cyndi_bross9552]

Gotta stop the video. I dont know what i did to offend?

[@geselle2943]

Try Soaking the 🧄clover in water. it's easier to peel.

[@AcreHomestead]

great idea
