Becky, I need to tell you. I have been struggling with depression, grief and postpartum after loss for almost a year now. Food is a love of mine but I have been generally uninspired by food for that time. Since finding your channel just 2 weeks ago I have been loving creating new things in the kitchen. My husband is happy to see it too! Between you and my garden I am feeling more and more ready to get back into the world. And being now 18 weeks pregnant again it's given me a new energy in many ways. My sister and I are preparing for a freezer meal day soon! I will be trying some of your recipes soon. Thank you XOXO
Remember last August when you did the preserve a little every day? Despite the emphasis on house projects, I do suggest spending upto an hour every day in the garden and at an hour doing food preservation every day. Time to get the freeze dryer and the dehydrator working for you; each involves a little bit of prep, loading trays, setting the machines to do thier thing, then unloading the trays. Much less work than canning, much more idle labor. You don't want to lose whole crops like the cilantro - unless you're able to revive it by harvesting coriander.
Becky, if you have the time, harvest your cilantro and run it thru your food processor. Pour the minced cilantro into a freezer bag and toss in the freezer. You’ll have cilantro to add to recipes so it doesn’t go bad in your garden. ❤️
Freezing drying would be a cool experiment - perhaps it can better retain its fresh taste and texture! I feel like cilantro just isn’t the same after freezing in the freezer.
Don't overdo it, Becky. Burn out is real. Take all the time you need, when you need to. We will still be here waiting to see your beautiful smile. Thank you for sharing your dreams with us. Your dreams have caused me to dream again. Bless you and Josh.
Hey, you guys dont forget to take some breaks. Dont completely wear yourselves out. You need some good rest in between projects. Love the new house. It will be a pleasure when your done. 💜
👋🏼Although I’ve been watching you for a little while now, it’s my first time commenting. I just wanted to tell you that you are a true inspiration and an awesome motivator. I find myself saying/quoting, “This is what Becky said or did.”🥰Just wanted you to know… you and your family,(Josh, Orbit, Tibro, your mom and dad, Josh’s mom, your friends…) are a true joy and blessing to watch. Thank you for sharing your lives, and all you do with us. 🙏🏼May God bless you all immensely.❤️
I live in Wisconsin, it's 89 here today. I don't have AC. This video made me even warmer just watching it 🤣. Oven cooking and your wearing a fleece long sleeve shirt.
I’m a new subscriber and watched your new house videos last night before bed. Becky, I couldn’t fall asleep because I was too excited! Congratulations on your forever home. Thank you for sharing your life with us!
I love how comfortable you are in the kitchen. You just cook "on the fly" and I'm so impressed by your fearless nature to just jump in with both feet no matter the task at hand. Bravo!!
I love your philosophies: Eating in w/o carry-out; "going with the flow" instead of strict menu planning; using what you have. I have just completed some intense stocking up as we took advantage of grocery stores while visiting family. Now I'm committed to eating from the pantry and only buying super specials to restock. I brought back plenty of empty canning jars, and am ready to fill them up too. I'm really excited for every video you produce! Thank you for taking us along on the journey, and I think most of us really enjoy seeing a little more of Josh!
You guys remind me of us 30 years ago! Hubby says we should be doing less and I keep making more garden. He says what do I get out of it? Men! They can get cranky when they get older! Lol! Keep up the good work guys! Looks great!
I’ve Started zesting every lemon 🍋 I use, whether or not I’m gonna need it for that particular recipe and just store the extra in the freezer. Then, I squeeze all the juice out and freeze it in ice cube trays and pop them out to store in a plastic bag.
That's genius! I love lemon zest but done have a lot of opportunity to use it so storing it in the freezer is a good idea, I can't believe I never thought of that
Love your new home and am so happy you found your dream home! It’s beautiful and amazing what life can do. Laid off for 10 weeks, starting a yt channel, and now you’re staying home and got the house of your dreams! Congrats girl!
I love watching what you cook! You've inspired me to cook even more at home. Tonight i am making cajun chicken pasta and roasted garlic herb butter to put on biscuits that i need to use up and I am prepping an artisan dutch oven cinnamon raisin bread for breakfast! 🥰
You just amaze me! I think it's very easy to throw your hands up and say "fast food", but you pushed through and made delicious meals that are we more nutritious fueling your work on that beautiful new house. You rock girl!
Becky, please take care of yourself....we don't want to see you and Josh burning out by taking on so much at one time. Don't be shy in asking for help if you need it. Your families are so loving an giving, I am sure they will come help when and where they can. Wish we lived nearby, we'd come lend a hand; but we are all the way in S. FL so all we can do is offer up prayers for you and Josh! God bless y'all!
Thanks Becky, glad you’re feeling better! I have say you and Josh have motivated me into starting on my bathroom demolition! It has needed to be done for a long time! I was going to say, if you decide to take down that pony wall in your living room you may want to put electric outlets in your floor there if you plan to have furniture there at some point! I see the wall already has electricity in it! Take care!
We are in the proces of moving - from California to Northwest Washington. I can't pack any of my pantry or freezer items so we are eating well right now, but will have to start from zero as of October. I'm jealous you are able to keep on with your garden and food preservation. And...... there is no such thing as too much cheese. :-)
I'm glad that you got your house of dreams! And same time I realize how much work you put in it. Just wanted to wish you both good luck! For those who searches fast and nutritios recepie, mine to-go in 15 min : boil pasta for 2 people, meanwhile drain can of tuna cut a half of English cucumber, half of green bell pepper and onion to liking (I like green onions), some spinach or any greens . Add cooked pasta, vegetable oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Nothing to wash, 15 min, full of nutrients. Sometimes I use this recepie like base and go from what I have on hand.
Thank you so much dear one. I want to thank you for all your videos, my daughter and I each found you individually, and shared with each other. She lives in Oregon, and I'm in Florida, and we miss cooking together, but sharing our thoughts on your videos brings some of that back. God Bless
I really need to meal plan. It's just me but I can be much more efficient if I did meal planned. Congratulations to you and Josh. You guys are blessed and highly favored.
It's hard to meal plan for just one person ime. My most successful meal plans when it was just 1 or 2 people eating were making meat and rice and then a few sides and kinda mixing and matching so the flavor was different from day to day.
I meal plan, eat one portion immediately, and portion freeze the rest. It is a great way to take advantage of sales. Josh Cortis' youtube channel has a ton of recipes and I have lost a bunch of weight by meal planning.
I would tell you to slow down but, I know how it is to buy a new home. It means you are excited and can't wait to see the finished project's. Everything so far is very nice, great job trying to work and cook.
U are amazing you have taught me amazing tips I've tried many of your recipes amazing luv it but get some rest your working really hard new home gardening xx💕💕
I just want to say thank you from my husband and son. They absolutely love, and I mean love the breakfast burritos 🌯. In 🇬🇧 Mexican food isn’t that big. So the breakfast burritos are a new staple in our house. Thank you for your vlogs. Glad you’re feeling better, and loving the new additions of home renovations added to your list of talents. One more thing, it’s nice to see more of Josh 😂. Sending you lots of love from over the pond 🇬🇧 to 🇺🇸
Yes that's true! When I, an American, visited England I wondered where the Mexican food restaurants were! 😂 That's awesome you're making what you want instead of depending on restaurants.
@@RaeC5280 we have lots of Indian and Chinese restaurants 😂 I do cook a lot of Mexican meals at home. I make something like a burrito. I put fajita chicken or taco mince meat (ground beef) in a pentagon shaped pocket wrap, oven bake until it’s nice and crispy. There is probably a name for it… but I have not a clue 🤷🏽♀️ 🤣💋
Becky your videos are motivational videos for me. When I cook I put your videos on to help me get motivated even if I'm making something different. They give me energy :)
Hi Becky! Love watching your videos and the wonderful meals you make using what you have. So inspirational to us all. The dream house and property are just lovely. Hope you’re feeling better and looking forward to watching you and Josh in the new house. ❤️
Oh my goodness, you really pushed through! You're an inspiration! When your oven timer goes off, it sounds like mine and makes me look in my kitchen . Do I have something in the oven? Nope, it's Becky's timer. Ha!
thank you for putting in the effort and energy to share this journey with us! filming and home renovation must be hard on thier own but putting them together must be overwhelming at times. We LOVE watching your videos though so thank you oodles💗
Becky, my daughter and I enjoy watching you cook and hang out in the garden. You have a beautiful forever dream house and we are happy for you and Josh. I’m so thrilled that you manage to keep cooking and homesteading which is my favorite thing to watch on TH-cam. I thought you were going to let go of cooking and I felt so disappointed. You are doing everything wonderfully and I’m entertained.
Heyyyy beautiful SoilSista! So proud of you'll and all the hard work on the new property... Hard work definitely pay off ... Freezer meals are a must especially with this Ga heat. Ha! Thanks for sharing your journey we appreciate you ❤️
I do prep for my husband for work and will do soups etc and freeze. Other than that, I’m the complete opposite as Becky. I love cooking and prefer to cook every single night even whilst running my farm and so on.
You are so right that it is too easy to fall into the drive thru trap! Smart to try to avoid it, while also giving yourself some grace if it's needed. Love you and your channel!
Thank you very much for what you do and they way you present things there so many folks out there who push for "perfection" at all times and i just can't relate. I have a chronic illness which makes alotta fancy recipes inaccessible for me but alotta your tips like having precooked meat or freezer meals for "busy" (in my case bad pain and limited mobility days) has been amazingly helpful. Thank you for everything you do, you really are quite inspiring, i have actually started a small garden of my own and started cooking again thanks to you.
You are ALWAYS encouraging! I love your positive and upbeat attitude no matter if you are a bit under the weather or not. You are such an inspiration to so many of us. I’m sure I’m older than your own mother and as a mother I have got to say what a wonderful, caring and giving young woman you are! God bless you and Josh and may you have many, many years together in your new home!
You are absolutely amazing Becky and set such an example for us all! You work so hard and accomplish so much so don’t ever apologize! If only we could be more like you!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s so fun to watch you guys transform your house! I can’t your time with your projects too. Don’t burn yourself out. We just went through the moving / renovating process.
I really appreciate you showing you pushing through when you're not feeling well and you have to make it as simple as possible because I feel like that's how I am so much of the time haha.
22 yrs. ago we bought a fixer upper house in the country, we totally re-did it and it was so much fun! I'm enjoying your journey to your dream home and your wonderful meals you prepare, thanks for sharing it all with us!
Thank you for sharing your Dad's you tube channel, Becky. I love it since I subscribed What a wonderful father you have(and mother)! You are so blessed!! ❤ Love your video's, thank you so much!
Smart to have food made. No need to eat into reno budget with take out and the food doesn't give energy when eaten. I'd keep fresh fruit in fridge over there too. Chop veggies and bag them is small containers to walk away with them. We also had pickle jars full of water in fridge to get as needed. I love my camelbak for that.40 oz stay cold for over a day in the metal version. Stay strong and don't drive fatigued. Probably smart to have some dog food there and cots and bags to stay over. You could always have bath towels and washcloths handy. Take care
Your cooking videos are my favorite! Right now I am also saving up to buy a car and this is the first time I got to truly appreciate a full pantry and a freezer! It's an amazing way to save money when you need to
I love the new house and I am loving that you are sharing the renovation process! You and Josh are a very talented couple! I definitely know what you mean when you say sometimes you have to push through as I have autoimmune issues and some days I am just not feeling it. I have learned so many great get ahead food ideas from you, you really have inspired me to get back to making good food from scratch the easy way!
Hi, Becky. I am new to your channel. Your motivation, work ethic, family, and personality are so inspirational. You are so gifted and a joy to watch. Congratulations on the dream home.
Another way to look at it is to eat what you have or else you’ll have to move it, lol. Every full jar that gets used is one less pound to move. 😉. Congratulations Becky and Josh! So proud and jealous of your dream home. I’m still dreaming and planning. Unfortunately, I take care of my mother (😍❤️) so no moving yet. My mom is nowhere near a “homesteader”. Some days (most), she thinks I’m nuts. Well, until she runs outta something 😂. She’s very aware that she would have starved/died if she had been part of our family’s initial immigration from Germany. They were big homesteaders and our original homestead was in the family 100 years during Reagan’s term. We got a letter from the government congratulating us. It’s gone now unfortunately since I would have carried on happily. Blessings on your journey. May it last 100 years!
Also, for things like freezer burritos or sandwiches, I highly recommend buying a simple electric grill. This way your food will be crispy and fresh, and not just soft and warm like from the microwave.
I've been checking ur channel every few hours each day, I'm just as impatient as you to watch ur house come along, and all the harvesting, and moving, and decorating, and to see you make the new garden and move all the things. I've watched almost every video and I'm caught up now. This is so exciting for both you guys an me, I can't wait to see how you make a house a home again. Thank you for letting us come along on your journey!
Try your zucchini and other vegetables on the grill. Amazing!!! Even those who wouldn't eat vegetables fought over them and are always begging for more! As always, love the channel!
Hi Becky! Absolutely love your channel. Been watching for months. I’m currently watching from hospital as I had weight loss surgery yesterday. So glad I can watch all your yummy food videos again and know that I will be able to eat food again soon! Thanks for this content it’s keeping me sane with my hospital anxiety ❤
Wish you lived by me. Starting my cancer treatment next week and would love to cook with you for some easy meals because I sure won't feel like it but thanks for some ideas.
I hope your treatments go better than you expect. I went through all that 23 years ago; mine was less than desirable but I’m still here! I wish you lived near me because I’d be happy to share. 😊
Thank you. If God is for me who can be against me. Just prayer and faith is all I need. Glad you are still with us GOD needs you for something so keep on going your in my prayers
To really make full use of your lemons, after you zest & then squeeze, put your lemon 'carcasses' in a quart jar and fill with white vinegar. After a few days you can start adding it to your washing machine and have fresh lovely laundry with no harsh chemicals!!!
I always look forward to your vlogs, no matter what you do. You have such a bubbly personality. Tell Josh that the trim work is a top notch #10 and the upgraded look just added at least $10,000 to the value of your new home. Y'all don't burn yourself out now! God bless!
Wow you have no idea how Inspiring and motivated your videos are especially from me who grew up with only Mexican recipes and a mom who was not willing to teach. God bless you!!! ......you inspire me to do better 😌 ✨️
I feel you on not always being 100%. Sometimes it takes absolutely everything I have, just to get out of bed! Just turned 42 on Saturday. 😩 You give me so much inspiration though and make me want to do better!! I love your channel!!
Becky I have been loving watching your videos for the last, idk 6 months or so, and I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed you posting videos so often with your house renovation 🥰. It has just been like a daily serotonin boost and happy dance every time I see you have a video out. 😁 And I have even planted some radishes and Thumbelina Zinnia flowers in pots on my balcony because of your recommendation/videos. Thank you for being an awesome person here on TH-cam, and I'm sure in real life too 😄. Wishing you and your husband all the best and safety on your continued renovation projects!!❤️
Becky, I need to tell you. I have been struggling with depression, grief and postpartum after loss for almost a year now. Food is a love of mine but I have been generally uninspired by food for that time. Since finding your channel just 2 weeks ago I have been loving creating new things in the kitchen.

Ice cube trays first, and then into freezer bags once frozen 👍
@@dijobson1204 I be done that too but have also just tossed them into a freezer bag when in a hurry 😉. Both ways work great.
What a great idea
Or she could freeze dry the cilantro.
Freezing drying would be a cool experiment - perhaps it can better retain its fresh taste and texture! I feel like cilantro just isn’t the same after freezing in the freezer.
Don't overdo it, Becky. Burn out is real. Take all the time you need, when you need to. We will still be here waiting to see your beautiful smile. Thank you for sharing your dreams with us. Your dreams have caused me to dream again. Bless you and Josh.

Yessss...burn out happens!!
Great advice 🥰
Couldn't agree more!
I agree, breaks are necessary.
definitely. i know the feeling of always wanting to finish one more thing and then out of a sudden, the body shuts down and you are sick for a week.
“We are all trying to do our best in this thing called life”
Absolutely! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Minnesota here!! I think it felt like 107 yesterday for us. I’m sure you ladies weren’t far off from that either!
Just saw you on homesteading family! So exciting to see you tubers that I feel are so helpful working together.
Even when you don't have energy, you make super delicious looking complex meals!! Go Becky!!

I love how comfortable you are in the kitchen. You just cook "on the fly" and I'm so impressed by your fearless nature to just jump in with both feet no matter the task at hand. Bravo!!
On your ''not my best'' day, you still managed to do twice as much as I call my normal, so you have TONS of ground feeling proud of yourself.
Trick: measure your oil first then measure your honey. Doing this means the honey slips right off the spoon!
Don’t be so hard on yourself…you are rock in’. This whole adventure!
I love your philosophies: Eating in w/o carry-out; "going with the flow" instead of strict menu planning; using what you have.

God bless you and Josh and may you have many, many years together in your new home!
Cannot wait to see the garden. I know y’all are super crazy busy though. Very happy for you both (and the boys 🐶🐶)
You are absolutely amazing Becky and set such an example for us all! You work so hard and accomplish so much so don’t ever apologize! If only we could be more like you!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s so fun to watch you guys transform your house! I can’t your time with your projects too. Don’t burn yourself out. We just went through the moving / renovating process.
I really appreciate you showing you pushing through when you're not feeling well and you have to make it as simple as possible because I feel like that's how I am so much of the time haha.
22 yrs. ago we bought a fixer upper house in the country, we totally re-did it and it was so much fun! I'm enjoying your journey to your dream home and your wonderful meals you prepare, thanks for sharing it all with us!
I love that you've used the zest but did you know you can dry citrus skins out and use them as fire starters
Thank you for sharing your Dad's you tube channel, Becky. I love it since I subscribed
What a wonderful father you have(and mother)! You are so blessed!! ❤ Love your video's, thank you so much!
Could you please share the link to Becky's Dad's YT channel, I'd love to check it out too❣🙆♀️ Thank you 😊
?
The mixture you put on your potatoes would be so good stuffed in zucchini ! Looks so good 😊
I just found you and love your cooking style! It’s difficult to think of dinner ideas.. you inspire me! Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
We would love to see a garden tour soon! ❤️🙏❤️🙏☮️
Smart to have food made. No need to eat into reno budget with take out and the food doesn't give energy when eaten.
I'd keep fresh fruit in fridge over there too.
Chop veggies and bag them is small containers to walk away with them.
We also had pickle jars full of water in fridge to get as needed.
I love my camelbak for that.40 oz stay cold for over a day in the metal version.
Stay strong and don't drive fatigued.
Probably smart to have some dog food there and cots and bags to stay over. You could always have bath towels and washcloths handy.
Take care
And here is the video I was talking about lol 😍🥰. I'm loving your reno videos on the new homestead, but now I get to see cooking again also. Yay !💖
I was also waiting for the a lil changed video
Also, I'm looking forward to seeing your Mom and Dad and the rest of the family for the barbecue. You guys are all so cute when you get together 🙂
Your cooking videos are my favorite! Right now I am also saving up to buy a car and this is the first time I got to truly appreciate a full pantry and a freezer! It's an amazing way to save money when you need to
I love the new house and I am loving that you are sharing the renovation process! You and Josh are a very talented couple! I definitely know what you mean when you say sometimes you have to push through as I have autoimmune issues and some days I am just not feeling it. I have learned so many great get ahead food ideas from you, you really have inspired me to get back to making good food from scratch the easy way!
Taking food to the new house...Dump things into the instant pot (seals nice for travel) soup style.. Eat with bread.
That skillet left over would be amazing with some scrambled eggs in it.and some hot sauce or chipotle sauce.drizzled on top
Put your tomatoes with palm of hand on top and slice tomatoes across and there all cut at once
Hi, Becky. I am new to your channel. Your motivation, work ethic, family, and personality are so inspirational. You are so gifted and a joy to watch. Congratulations on the dream home.
Another way to look at it is to eat what you have or else you’ll have to move it, lol. Every full jar that gets used is one less pound to move. 😉. Congratulations Becky and Josh! So proud and jealous of your dream home. I’m still dreaming and planning. Unfortunately, I take care of my mother (😍❤️) so no moving yet. My mom is nowhere near a “homesteader”. Some days (most), she thinks I’m nuts. Well, until she runs outta something 😂. She’s very aware that she would have starved/died if she had been part of our family’s initial immigration from Germany. They were big homesteaders and our original homestead was in the family 100 years during Reagan’s term. We got a letter from the government congratulating us. It’s gone now unfortunately since I would have carried on happily. Blessings on your journey. May it last 100 years!
Also, for things like freezer burritos or sandwiches, I highly recommend buying a simple electric grill. This way your food will be crispy and fresh, and not just soft and warm like from the microwave.
Your recipes look amazing. I hope you have continued to feel better. Be well. ~Love from Idaho.
SHE'S SO COOL! 😊💝
I've been checking ur channel every few hours each day, I'm just as impatient as you to watch ur house come along, and all the harvesting, and moving, and decorating, and to see you make the new garden and move all the things. I've watched almost every video and I'm caught up now. This is so exciting for both you guys an me, I can't wait to see how you make a house a home again. Thank you for letting us come along on your journey!
Try your zucchini and other vegetables on the grill. Amazing!!! Even those who wouldn't eat vegetables fought over them and are always begging for more! As always, love the channel!
We love your channel!! the new home improvements and food just everything we want to see so Fun thank you Becky and Josh
Hi Becky! Absolutely love your channel. Been watching for months. I’m currently watching from hospital as I had weight loss surgery yesterday. So glad I can watch all your yummy food videos again and know that I will be able to eat food again soon! Thanks for this content it’s keeping me sane with my hospital anxiety ❤
I love how productive the two of you are! It is great to see the progress.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful cooking! You do encourage me to try new cooking ideas! May all your renovations go well! 🤗❤️🇨🇦
Wish you lived by me. Starting my cancer treatment next week and would love to cook with you for some easy meals because I sure won't feel like it but thanks for some ideas.
I hope your treatments go better than you expect. I went through all that 23 years ago; mine was less than desirable but I’m still here! I wish you lived near me because I’d be happy to share. 😊
Thank you. If God is for me who can be against me. Just prayer and faith is all I need. Glad you are still with us GOD needs you for something so keep on going your in my prayers
❤🙏🏻to you both❤🙏🏻
To really make full use of your lemons, after you zest & then squeeze, put your lemon 'carcasses' in a quart jar and fill with white vinegar. After a few days you can start adding it to your washing machine and have fresh lovely laundry with no harsh chemicals!!!
Thank you!!!
I am glad you are feeling better. You guys are doing a lot of work
The orzo salad looks delicious. I love watching you work, Becky. Most of all I appreciate you taking care of yourself. Loving your videos!
I always look forward to your vlogs, no matter what you do. You have such a bubbly personality. Tell Josh that the trim work is a top notch #10 and the upgraded look just added at least $10,000 to the value of your new home. Y'all don't burn yourself out now! God bless!
I'm looking so forward to see how you organize your walk in pantry and kitchen!!
Wow you have no idea how Inspiring and motivated your videos are especially from me who grew up with only Mexican recipes and a mom who was not willing to teach. God bless you!!! ......you inspire me to do better 😌 ✨️
That Orzo salad looked delicious!
Blessed Tuesday... gladdened to see that you feel better. I like those meals, they look yummy, thanks for sharing. prayer hugs. 💟
I've never had bake stuffed sweet potatoes. I'm going to try them on my family.
Go with the orange ones they’re the best.
Your work ethic is a big inspiration
I feel you on not always being 100%. Sometimes it takes absolutely everything I have, just to get out of bed! Just turned 42 on Saturday. 😩 You give me so much inspiration though and make me want to do better!! I love your channel!!
Becky I have been loving watching your videos for the last, idk 6 months or so, and I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed you posting videos so often with your house renovation 🥰. It has just been like a daily serotonin boost and happy dance every time I see you have a video out. 😁 And I have even planted some radishes and Thumbelina Zinnia flowers in pots on my balcony because of your recommendation/videos. Thank you for being an awesome person here on TH-cam, and I'm sure in real life too 😄. Wishing you and your husband all the best and safety on your continued renovation projects!!❤️
