I put time stamps in the description box for the recipes and the DIY chapstick!
Hi I was wondering how eggnog might be in the French toast breakfast casserole??
Do you still have a link to your glass baking dish with a lid that you used to freeze your manicotti? They seem like the perfect dish!
The link to glass dish with lid can be found in Becky’s “Cook once and eat for a month” video. 😁
Sounds like fun. Be careful with Peppermint essential oil. It has menthol in it, so it can burn for some people with sentivities to it.
I'm having trouble printing your chapstick recipe. There is a message saying it's on the client's end. I love your videos and recipes. I just wish Soy wasn't in almost everything premade nowadays. Happy New Year to you and your family. 🎉💕
Lip balm tips: use rubber band to hold tubes together in a group while filling, use dropper to fill each tube with less mess (and control the amount of pour more easily), use heat gun to gently melt tops of balm to get rid of hole and make a smooth top. Enjoy!
There are a lot of great ideas on here thank you.
How do you clean the wax out of the dropper?
@KatieJane31 I would imagine warm it up and wipe as much as possible out of it, then wash in warm soapy water and rinse.
@KatieJane31 Sometimes, I use super hot water, but sometimes I use the disposable ones so I can throw it away. And I should have specified that they are actually called pipettes if you try to search for them. 😊
Admiration to this lovely community for always unselfishly giving tips for getting things done better. ❤ Love to all of you, from South Africa
Hello Becky I’m a candle & lip balm maker when they do get some hole dips you can use a blow dryer and slightly melt the tops that helps to smooth them out and the melted wax travels back down the hole and turns out very nice! 🙂
This is Renee - and the lip balm is wonderful!!! Thank you Becky! Love you!! ❤
I don't know if this was already suggested, but perhaps you could use a Pyrex glass measuring cup to melt the ChapStick ingredients. The glass is heat safe and has a pour spout for filling tubes without a funnel. Its much easier to see the level of each tube as you fill them. I so enjoy learning new life skills from you. Wishing you and yours a gentle New Year filled with Joy!
Fyi, when using scents, use coffee beans to reset your sense of smell in between scents. It helps. You'll find that they have beans at a Yankee Candle store just for that purpose. ❤
Yap,p
Stores that sell perfumes use coffee beans for that.
I never knew that! That’s really cool.
My brother makes soaps and he has said he's goes nose blind, I keep telling him coffee beans.
I'm definitely making the lip balm. I make soap, lotion and crocheted washcloth baskets for a co-worker (he buys 10 baskets) and that would be a great addition.
Hi, Becky, I started watching a couple of months ago, after seeing you on Lisa Bass' podcast. I enjoy watching so much! You are so sweet and calm, and I love the look on your sweet face when you like a recipe! I love your channel, and it has become my new favorite! Happy New Year to you and your little family Becky!
I have several metal paper towel holders from dollar tree that I keep my canning lids on. I have one for each of the different size rings stacked on different holders, so I can keep them organized and easy to access.
Hi Becky, hi friends! All the very best to everyone for the new year!
I love how if something messes up, you just leave it in. You don't try to tell us that everything goes perfectly every time.
FYI freeze drying eggs, whole, yolk or whites works very well. It is a one to one reconstitution and you would never know they were not fresh.
Hi Becky, maybe try melting wax in glass measuring cup instead of a bowl. Then you will have a pour spout to fill the tubes. Might make filling small tubes easier. God Bless!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. So inspiring to see you make the chapstick. You did a great job and I'm sure they were received with much joy!
Thanks for sharing your first try at making lip balm. It’s been on my “to try” list for a while along with making soap. I hope you will share your future soap making adventures too! Thanks for sharing all of the real aspects of cooking & creating instead of editing out anything that would be less than perfect. You are an inspiration and lovely person. Happy New Year to you and your family!
Im so going to make my own chapstick! I think if you melted everything in something with a pour spout that would be much easier. Blessings to you!
You could use your labels to wrap around the chapstick tube.
In our house.. extra egg white are demanded to be turned into forgotten cookies.. simply make a meringue out of them.. stir in some chocolate (or other flavor) chips.. nuts or not.. up to you.. dollop onto a baking sheet then into a very very low oven til set, dry and crispy.
hope these hints help , put some aluminum foil/or an old towel down on your countertop/ and to hold the containers for the chapsticks stay in place an ice cube tray should make it bit easier
Also, I believe if you fill the tubes a bit at a time - fill a bit and let it set, fill a bit more - it stops the hole in the middle
After watching your vid about the French toast casserole I also made it for Christmas and my family loved it! It’s very similar to my bread pudding recipe but without the whiskey sauce.
I love that you leave mixups or spills in 😊 And the scenery out your kitchen window is gorgeous! Even when it’s foggy or rainy.
This is so awesome, Becky! What an amazing idea to make homemade chapstick! And I looked at my Burt's Bee's chapstick and it has this hole in the middle. So it must be a function of how that mixture hardens. Anyway, thank you again!!
Try spreading cream cheese on your quick breads in place of the butter. See if you like it.
Ive been loving watching you while I meal prep. 💕 such an inspiration, you are a gem, and everyone in your life is blessed by your beautiful soul. ✨️
You could glue some wrapping paper on the cardboard tubes after they solidify. Would cover up the oily prints from your fingers.
Merry Christmas Becky, I wish you and your family health and happiness, and a safe New Years💖💖💖💖💖
Holes are air pockets has to do with cooling too quickly. Happens to candles also.
Just a thought. You could finish your tubing off by glueing an ice paper on the outer tubing.
I like peppermint but not in my lip balm. It's drying to the lips and kinda defeats the purpose of the lip balm. A tip I use is to use my candle wax warmer to melt the oils. It might take awhile but I put it on in the morning and when melted I pour. There is no babysitting since the heat is not high. I use a very small pan that will fit and I only use it for this purpose.
Becky, you are such a an inspiration. I have improved in the kitchen thanks to u and your amazing videos my friend. Thank you so much. I pray you are so blessed this new year. I can't wait what you have for us in store for us in 2024.
I made eggnog yesterday for the first time bc of you and I absolutely loved it and so did my little ones. My 6 year old said Mommy you need to make this every year. Lol...I said I agree baby.
I am pressure canning my first beans today bc of you. Please don't ever change. You are amazing and an inspiration to me and my family. 💜🌻😊 Thank you for being you!!! Happy New Year 🤩🥳🌻
Hi Becky. Always amazed how you try knew things and recipes in front of your audience. I am not an expert but with the lip balms would it be easier to use a measuring cup to melt everything and then just pour out.
Becky, I would love to see what you do with the calendula flowers. I'm a crafter more than a kitchen gal, I would have taken some wrapping paper and covered the tubes with it. But, I love this project and will have to try it. I use EOS and it's expensive and I'm always losing my tube. I hope all your holidays were wonderful. Can't what to see what you bring us in the New Year. 💌
I made the croissant casserole for the holidays and it was very good. Thx
This was a fun video! When I melt something in the microwave that I need to pour I use a glass measuring cup so I have the pour spout.
Perhaps use a piece of foam to make a holder for the tubes, also maybe stick a long bamboo screwer down the center as there maybe a small bubble
Try wrapping your tubes in clingfilm/saran wrap before filling them. It should keep your tubes smudge free.
Becky your amazing I’ve learned a lot from you
Becky, I know others have suggested this before, but just a reminder...you would eliminate so many errors, mix-ups and forgotten ingredients if you had your mise en place set up in advance. This allows you to concentrate on technique, directions and procedures. I know one of your goals is to always learn and improve. Mise en place is a basic principle taught in the best of the best culinary institutions.
It might be air that's in it. Fill it 3/4 way full them stir it with a toothpick to get air bubbles out
overnight merengue cookies are a great way to use a few egg whites.
Awesome. Thanks. Blessings
Becky, you could wrap a little bit of saran wrap/cling film around the tube to stop it from getting greasy from your hands. I hope you and the family have had a wonderful Christmas x
I make healing salves and lip balm with EO's. It's much easier if you just use your glass measuring cups that pour easily into the containers, more for the salves. When made as a gift I use cute little mason jars or even small Altoid containers for my husband and the one I keep in the car, or for any other bit of extra. I also add more for the holes that develop. My friends, and especially my grandkids, always let me know when they are running out, which is fun for me. The salve is a perfect gift for really dry hands or cuts and make wonderful gifts whenever they run out. Nice to see some ideas in your comments as well, that I will try next time. I love that you keep the "not perfect" results as well. It's real!!! You make me miss living in the PNW!
Another tip to fill the chapsticks. Melting all the ingredients in your glass fat devider, add after melting your vit e + peppermint oil. Then you can fill directly the chapsticks and you probably see more what are you doing. 😀 It is always a joy to watch your videos. Thanx for everything you taught me👍
I love this!! My son loves the Burts bees mango, but I have to buy a box of 4 just to get the one mango!! Thank you!!
just wrap the tubes in holiday wrap, and then a label.
They make a pouring tray you can put the tubes on and fill them. But they do a bunch of them at a time. But if you make a bunch you can just toss them in the freezer in a ziplock bag. Then pull a couple out when you need them. I live in Florida so I use chap stick year round cause the heat will make my lips dry too.
Use a small glass creamer pitcher to pour the liquid chapstick into your tubes
Plastic tubes have a holder so you’re not touching
Also we dedicate utensils and pans just for chapstick making
Hi Becky I made the breakfast casserole for my family on Christmas morning I put heavy cream in mine and it was so good my family asked me for more the next day fantastic recipe thank you ❤ x
Hi Becky! I love this video, it’s suuuuper fun to learn along side of you and figure it out as you go, just like I do, spills and all 😂👌🏼
Anyway, a few things I learned from candle making is one easy way to pour these would
be to use your glass Pyrex measuring glasses to melt and mix in, because it has a spout.
Also that weird effect thing is called tunneling and it happens with inconsistent cooling, because the outside cools and solidifies faster than the center. You definitely had the right instinct with digging out the tunnel before topping it off. It helps if you let them cool on a cooling rack, but it will probably still tunnel a bit.
You can always take a hair dryer or heat gun to the top of them to smooth it out, if you want it perfect in the end.
Anyway, thanks for all you do and great video as always :)
These lip balms look awesome. Got me thinking there's possibly some cardboard tubs with lids which would be great for lip balm too. They'd be great for any leftover liquid balm and be lovely as little token gifts or added to a spa gift. Love your videos thank you for taking time to share with us Anne 🐨
Becky, my son made homemade egg nog during Christmas and it was phenomenal! You were right it tastes so much better than store bought. The second batch my son made, we turned it into egg nog ice cream! Sooo good! I
The maple flavoured egg nog sounds delicious, might have to give it a go!
I call what you made with the croissants bread pudding (similar). Delicious
My suggestion would be to use a glass liquid measuring cup to mix the lip chap in to microwave and with its spout it will be easier to pour into your container
Becky, I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos!
Becky, You might find yourself a syringe without a needle, that holds up to a tablespoon....and use it to fill your chapsticks! :).
What a wonderful morning. Thank you
I also re-use my tissue paper and I also iron it to get the wrinkles out. I know it may sound silly to some, but I feel better about recycling it than if it went into the landfill.
Why not use measuring cup with spout
Here in the south we call that Bread Pudding. But I like to add a ton of pecans in mine. And I have lemon sauce on the side to dollop on if anyone wants it. A lot of folks serve praline sauce with it.
I call it bread pudding too. Been making it for years. My Mom used to make the best. I make a vanilla bourbon sauce to put on top. So good.
I made the breakfast casserole for Christmas morning and my family asked to make it a new tradition
I love reading all the tips. THIS is what the internet is made for lol. I love when women support women. We need a lot more of it ❤❤
Use a baster to fill them.
You added 7 scoops.....that's not coffee.....it's rocket fuel!
Wonderful job Becky ❤❤
Hello Friend! What a nice way to start episodes. Can I use coconut oil that I have in my pantry?
Hi Becky… love the 9x13 baking dishes with the snap lids. I don’t seem to find them, can you post the brand of them for us? Thanks again!
I've never made lip balm before, but I've read lots of the tips in the comments. I was wondering if pipettes that can be purchased on Amazon might be helpful in filling the tubes? They're pretty cheap.
I love watching ur videos a little obsessed now i want to try canning do u have any recommendations for stuff thats needed to start off canning for a noob or do u have a video x
Could you decoupage / decorate the cardboard tube? You could make your own label and wrap it? Just a few thoughts.
Hi Becky. You have the best video's. You always inspire me. Thank you FRIEND for doing what you do
Hi Becky, always love your videos. Hope you had a lovely holiday ❤
Yes to the Vitamin E and EO after heating. I like to fill my tubes with a small creamer pitcher as I can see how full they are getting.
Merry Christmas and now Happy New Year 1/3/2024. May this year be your best yet! ❤😊
Use a turkey baster to fill up the chapstick tubes
Loved the chap stick. Nice gifts but would look nice with the cute little sticker on the side.. 🥳Happy New Year my friend ❤
Hi Becky, What about using a meat blaster, or a large syringe or even a sauce bottle with nozzle to help fill the tubes? Sheena x
A syringe you would use to give a baby medicine would work perfectly for filling your chapstick tubes!
Hi Becky, I love your videos! Just wanted to point out that you've been using the word "recipe" in place of a "dish" or a "product". We'd follow a recipe to make a dish/product, instead of "making a recipe". Just thought it'd put it out there
Hi Becky, I wonder if using a turkey baster to fill the chapstick tubes would work better??
I’m purchased the handmade chapsticks in the cardboard tube and they dry out so fast that you can’t use them. I agree the plastic would be better long term.
How much coffee do you usually use? My hubby and I cannot get on the same page!
Becky, have you ever frozen a breakfast casserole before baking? I am tempted to try it before another holiday rolls around!
It's so cool how the comment section is so positive, even with the several feedback. I think it's a reflection of the youtube creator.
I do not think anyone minded your messy kitchen, I was concentrating on the gift until you fixated on the messy kitchen. You're so thoughtful and your heart is in the right place. I like the homemade gift idea but gurrllll you're messy, so rushed- slow down, enjoy the process, you make such a shore. Happy New Year, I hope this year bless you and family, Mom and Dad with love, joy and prosperity. And, especially for you, the enjoyment without perfection while enjoying the greatest gift -life. God bless you and family and all followers.
What brand of lanolin did you use in the chap stick recipe 😊
Becky, as a beekeeper I want to warn you about not putting any beeswax down your kitchen drain. You'll make some plumber rich!!! I love your posts!!
Becky, just a recommendation, what about a turkey baster to fill those tubes up with that?
I made that croissant French toast casserole for Christmas morning, but we really didn't enjoy it, but I think I used different recipe than you and I didn't cover it with foil when baking so maybe that was the reason.
Try a syringe…it works great!
Ohhh chapsticks!! I kept on thinking you were saying chopsticks!! LOL!!
Hi Becky I am enjoying your channel. I use a turkey baster to fill the larger tubes. Would love to hear what your family thinks.
You put the tube that didn’t work in with the ones that did! I rewatched it before I commented!
Super foggy out there!!!!
You can get a turkey baster to help fill your tubes. A metal one that you dedicate to these types of recipes.
Just curious….why didn’t you use a glass measuring cup so that you could pour it easily
Loved the video. One comment, I bet they expect you to label the tubes of lip balm. A Cricut machine would work, or just use Avery labels on the computer. That would solve the problem of finger marks or whatever.
Can’t you put the jam labels on the chapstick?
I’ve never made chapstick before but do use them, I like the ones with a touch of cooling menthol in them, just a thought;/
