    People in this comment section really need to chill out! This woman has a 6 month old baby (and family at large) to care for, a TH-cam channel to manage, a garden the size of a whole house, farm animals, a new house to renovate, the list goes on….and yet people have the audacity to tell her to “get her act together” “stop goofing around” “improve the quality of her videos” just to quote some mean comments I’ve seen here😑 Stop projecting your perfectionism (and entitled energy) on others. Let her be a human, an imperfect human that makes mistakes. Good grief!!

    • @JanetPlanet68

      Yes, being rude is unacceptable. BUT except for the baby, those other things are choices. No one HAS to have a garden the size of a whole house or have a TH-cam channel. Also, no one HAS to watch if they don't like what they see. When multiple people comment on the same issues, it's probably a good idea to pay attention.

    Baking tip: Glass dishes/pans do not heat up as fast as metal or conduct the same level of heat. Using glass will hinder the "setting up" of a recipe. Metal is preferred if you are making cakes, brownies, blondies, cookie bars, quick breads, muffins, etc. If you can't use a metal pan you can decrease the temperature and bake longer. 😊 Hope that helps!

      yes lol. when she put the butter in the bowl, i thought oh no. but then she said she was just going to soften it and i thought ok. then when she re-read the directions and was going to melt it, i thought oh no! i always wince a bit when i see anyone filling up bowls or pots or pans to the brim and then have to stir it. i use a vessel twice as big as my ingredients because i'm such a sloppy stirrer lol

Also, Becky's Mom made a comment about cutting off the Lettuce when it is first ready, or you will not get a second harvest.

    Hi Becky,
    When melted butter overflowed in the microwave, you said you didn’t realize the volume of 3c of butter. The recipe called for 1 1/2 sticks of butter so doubled you only needed 1 1/2c of butter. No worries! You’re caramel sauce on ice cream is plenty for dessert!

    For anyone wondering, the perfect brown sugar proportion is 1 Tablespoon molasses per cup of granulated sugar for light brown sugar and for dark brown it's 2-3 Tablespoons per cup (depending on how dark you want it). In the end it looked like Becky hit that right on the head for Light brown sugar :)

    One thing I noted from the blonde recipe - I believe it said a 8x8 METAL pan.
    Metal and glass have different properties in terms of how they heat up, bake and retain heat. Copying the temperatures and times for a metal pan but using a glass pan will not produce the same results.

    Becky, I think your Blondie recipe is fine. When you doubled it, you were only supposed to use 2 whole eggs plus 2 yolks, but you added 4 whole eggs. Also, I think you doubled the butter called for PLUS I think if you had let the butter cool just a little (as the recipe said) that would have made some difference as well bc hot, melted butter can really change texture of anything baked. I would try it again bc it looks like a decent blondie recipe.

      Additionally, she doesn't HAVE to show ANY of her 'mistakes' when she edits her shows, but when she does, she usually humbly asks this community for advice and/or tips and for the most part, in a group of almost half a million (we know many are algorithm bots but most are real people) the comments are positive, upbeat and helpful.

    I am blind, so it’s so funny to me when people say that they eat with their eyes first. For me, it’s purely the experience and flavor. I cook and bake all the time, and I never considered that people may create certain dishes based off coloring and what is visually appealing. I can understand it for those of you who are sighted. I just find it amusing.

    Regarding your struggle with blondies:
    I haven’t made them in decades, but you can just use a tollhouse chocolate chip bar cookie recipe and leave out the chips. That always worked for me.
    And if your blondies don’t turn out, you could always try crumbling them and freeze drying them. Might make a nice snack, ice cream topping, etc.

    Becky, I love your channel, but word of advice from an old lady...Your life will get just a little bit easier by choosing one size larger bowl than what you "think" you'll need, and save on the time it takes to clean up the little spill messes or transferring to another container. LOL Keep being your honest, authentic self, I appreciate & enjoy all that you do.

    Hi, I have had great success with Sally's Baking Addiction blondies (actually all her recipes). The one thing that you will have to do differently is how you measure your flour. She uses the spoon and level method. When I cheat and do not do that and just scoop and level that is when I run into issues with her recipes and remember the small extra step can make a huge difference..

I will pickle red onions and add those on top of the salads.

    Our nursery sold these "lettuce bowls" where they had the same varieties of lettuce in them. I have literally been cutting them off at least 10 times since the end of April. First time gardening and was amazed how much salad we got. Plus I can replant in this long oval bowl it came in. The bowl was at least 24" long and held so much. Well worth the $19.99 that I paid for each of them. But what a clever idea.

    Becky you certainly taught me something new about sweet potatoes and I am from Louisiana. I have been used to the orange fleshed sweet potato which the flesh is more moist and sweet. I googled the white sweet potato and found that the flesh is more dry and has a nutty flavor. So learning this I have to find a white sweet potato and try it. Hope you had a wonderful vacation with your lady friends. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful recipes and your flower/veggie gardens.

    Hi Becky, these blondie brownies look yummy. I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos. You keep the real-life events in the kitchen as it should be. My gramma had a great trick to soften back up harden brown sugar. Put a piece of bread in the sugar. It softens it right back up. Living in Medford Oregon for years, she was always dealing with hard sugars. I honestly think this trick came from living during the great depression. Watching you create such amazing dishes, is always inspiring. You keep life real and unapologetic which is exactly why you are so enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us.

    I all looks good. growing up in a family of 8 children my mom would mix up the toll house cookie recipe and then put the dough in a baking dish. There were great. To keep brown sugar soft, I use the brown sugar bear - I purchased them on Amazon 2 in a pk for 7.99. They work great for the brown sugar and also to put in the cookie jar to keep cookies soft. I also put a plastic wrap on top of the brown sugar in the storage container, helps to minimize the air that dries it out. Hope you had a great vacation
