Happy Sunday! It is a cold and raining day here and I am working on planning a Summer freezer meal day to cook up this week. If you have any favorites I would love to hear them! - Becky
I like to prep cowboy pie. Good ground sausage with onions. Stir in red, black, and navy beans with about half a cup of BBQ sauce. Simmer till thick. Freeze that. To serve, thaw. Make your favorite cornbread bread. Spread cornbread over top of sausage and bean mixture. Cook per cornbread instructions. Let cool for a few mins before serving.
OMGoodness Becky... I did a thing. So you take your recipe for a crustless quiche... but sub in half the flour for corn meal and add an extra egg.... This Quiche - Bread was amazing.... Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, After school snack.. use it as a main or side, heck I cut it thin and put in some bread for a sandwich. I am dicing the last of it and toasting them to finish the cream of mushroom soup as croutons.... I made two. One vegetarian and one carnivore. All gone. So if you have the ingredients like the grated cheese, cooked meat, sautéed veggies and that in the freezer, add eggs, milk and boom great easy dinner with left overs. Thanks for item testing to see how well they hold up. As a side note, I do a long ferment on my vanilla and I can keep the same vanilla beans for about 15 batches. It takes quite a bit of upfront cost and prep, but then it is just remembering it once a month to shake, turn and top up. Twice a year I take about half of the bottle and decant it into my kitchen bottles for use. At that point I top up with the alcohol of choice and mark the next time it can be drained...usually once every two years per bottle. Yes, it is a collection but i promised myself that I will never run out. On average I have 8 bottles in different liquids and different time brews. Hugs to you all from Esquimalt
Becky, hats off to you, I could never ever do this career for the people it attracts. Im so sorry for all the cranky comments, usually I see such up lifting and supportive comments on your videos, yet this one just seems to be about everyone else’s opinions and unnecessarily rude comments. I just wanted to let you know that I admire you and appreciate the hard work you do for your followers. Just remember to keep dodging the grumps. They love taking advantage of letting off some steam behind a screen because they know they would never get away with such comments in person.
Usually I read the comments but I only read a couple of these this time. Sounds like I made the right call. I always want to jump to the defense of the creators I love and I'm not a person who enjoys confrontation. Hopefully Becky knows how many of us adore her and just ignores them. I can't imagine what anyone could complain about in this video, but I'm not borrowing trouble and finding out! Haha
I say that people who give negative comments on Becky's TH-cam channel. Are nothing but jealous people who don't have a big beautiful kitten that Beck is so lucky to have to cook all her amazing beautiful dishes.
My 3rd bedroom is a pantry/canning equipment room. It was a disaster. I had garlic all over the floor drying. Empty Jars and odds and ends everywhere and just an all out mess everywhere. For 2 months now I've been saying i was gonna clean and organize the room. Dreaded walking in there. Finally forced myself to get it all done and i felt sooooo much better after it was done. I actually walk in the room just to see how clean it looks randomly.😂😂😂
Becky, I just want to say I’m sorry for all the negativity that people seem to feel the need to post. Please do not listen to them and do what makes you and your family happy. I appreciate you and you’ve inspired me in many more ways than I can say. Thank you for being YOU! ❤
Same here! I feel like I have just helped clean out Becky's pantry and kitchen drawers, so mine can wait. I imagine how I can tackle my own overloaded pantry cupboard as I sip my coffee and crunch on Vegemite on toast in the early morning hours in Sydney.🦘
I was watching and thinking the same thing. So I set my timer for 10 minutes and when it went off I had to complete a task. Doesn’t matter how small! I dusted my ceiling fan (a task I have been putting off) it took less than 10 minutes. I stripped my bed. Etc. I love Becky’s videos!!!!
This was a great video, organizing your kitchen and pantry. I do love organizational videos, so I can get inspired to do that in my house. Until next time……….
Pyrex pans: freeze meals with a sling, pop out, wrap the contents (label it) to take up less space in freezer. Gift pans to those you make freezer meals for so everyone has the same size pan you freeze in. Then pull meal from freezer, unwrap, pop back into pan to heat. This eliminates the need for those foil pans as well.
I do this with metal pans - I’ll load up the freezer meal in a ziplock and freeze it in the pan (makes it nice and square so they stack easily!) and then pop it out of the pan. As long as I make sure the food doesn’t catch the ziploc bag on the bottom (makes it hard to get off) it works like a charm!!
Hey Becky! Once you have flavored the sugar with the vanilla you can grind the pods into a fine powder - tadaa, home made vanilla powder! Perfect to use when baking and you dont want to use a fresh pod! :) I stumbled upon one of your videos about a year ago and I have been hooked since. Your videos bring me so much joy and peace of mind in times when I feel stressed out about life. Lots of love from Sweden
Thank you for letting me 'come visit' while you were doing your cleaning today. I enjoyed listening to you chat as I 'sat in the corner' crocheting. One frisbee started three times (trying new color schemes), and now well on its way to being completed. (They fly surprisingly well and are excellent for kids and elders that might get hit when trying to catch them... soft yarn is gentle on tender skin!) Now off to your next video as I play catch up! See you there!
When I was young, my grandma had a large patch of rhubarb growing in the back of her garden. She had to harvest frequently to keep it from taking over the garden! She made pie, but she also made rhubarb bread pudding and (my favorite!) rhubarb jam! She'd boil the rhubarb with sugar and water until it broke down and got thick and syrupy. It was great on pancakes or on buttered toast. Now that I'm limited to grocery apps, I never see rhubarb any more!
Hey Becky! I know i'm late to the game, but if your drawer lines don't work, I use command strips to hold my utensil boxes in place. It works super well!
To keep your canning rings corraled, use the bungee cord method. It takes up very little space. You can use different color bungees to color code one for wide mouth and one for regular mouth rings. I keep them on a hook in the corner behind my pantry door
Hey Becky, I woke up this morning (New Zealand time) with the plans to clean my house. So seeing this video posted has made me excited, feel like I'm cleaning with you despite being on the other side of the world!
I use extra sections of that shelf liner to lay down under my cutting boards so they don't slide around. It works great. I've been downsizing a lot of items in my home and it feels so good. Hubby was a hoarder and believed that if one was good, five was better. Over the years, it started stressing me out having to find places for everything. He's passed on and it feels so good to get rid of all the stuff I don't need.
ughhh becky, your videos are the absolute best, i love watching you do little projects and you’re obviously so smart, i feel like i learn things & it really is just great to watch the flow that you have in the kitchen/your home! i hope to grow into my life and family like that when im older
I noticed one time when you were chopping at your Mom’s that the cutting board was wobbly and moving all around. I have found if you use the pieces of leftover shelf anti-skid material under the cutting boards (in the middle or one strip on each end) they no longer slip. This makes for much safer chopping (especially with plastic/acrylic/glass cutting boards).
can’t wait to watch this tomorrow while doing my monday cleaning reset! would love to see a “What I Eat In a Week” style video from you becky! would be nice to see how you actually utilize all your prepped food throughout the week :)
She's done this a few times in the past, but not recently. I think that's just because it's garden season right now, plus all the parties and such going on.
Hi, Becky! Your mom has a talent for cake decorating! As a fellow hobby baker, using bubble tea straws instead of the wooden skewers would make things so much easier for her. More sturdy and safe (no wood splinters), and easier to cut with scissors! Also, to make tall cakes more stress-free, stack and fill 3 layers like normally and place the straws around, and then put another cardboard round on top and stack and fill the rest of the cakes, that way the cake won't slide or collapse from the weight. :)
@@irony11 Yes! So weird, I keep trying to reply with a link to show the process but I guess links aren't allowed. Just google Sugar Geek Show double barrel cake
I'm from Michigan and I grew up in the country with a rhubarb plant that I adored as a child. Rhubarb pie was my request for birthdays instead of cake. It was very satisfying watching you organize and clean your pantry and kitchen, It's inspired me to get on with my Spring cleaning after a long cold winter,
Hi Becky - I just tried out a cleaning hack and am SO impressed I thought I would share: Dissolve a dishwasher tablet in a litre of boiling water. Pour into baking tray and place in oven on high for 1/2 an hour…. Oven simply wipes clean 😳 It also removes water scale from stainless steel 😳
You have inspired me to make a tasty dessert and organize my kitchen drawers as they have become unorganized over the last few months. I had the same problem with my bamboo organizers and my husband cut a 2x4 the length of the organizers and put it towards the back of the drawer to fill the space and no more sliding! Happy organizing!!
I’m watching you organize your beautiful large kitchen and thinking I wish I had those drawers! I live at a beautiful beach with a great home and a galley kitchen I love to cook and my friends are amazed what I can turn out ! Love watching you create your lovely life!
I had to order rhubarb from a company up north because the local stores don’t order it (I’m in Central TX). I made your first video taped rhubarb pie recipe - I added strawberries - along with your pie crust recipe. My husband had never had or heard of rhubarb. He swears it’s the BEST pie he has ever eaten!
When you were standing in the pantry trying to decide where to start it reminded me of a funny I actually do when I’m in that position, I start from upper left and do things towards lower right in the room. As I go, I realize it’s awfully secretarial, but makes it make sense ya know. So upper left to lower right, done in no time.
Hi Becky. Please ALWAYS unplug your air fryer when not in use. If you Google air fryer fires you will find that they are the cause of fire or explosions. It is such a simple step and can prevent such a horrible tragedy. Love your videos!
I worked in a fire marshal’s office before I retired. Can’t tell you how many kitchen fire reports I processed! Basic rule to follow is if it has a heating element unplug when not in use. And never set anything your not cooking g on the stove top.Another thing I recommend is unplug anything your not using , saves a little electricity and thus a smaller bill 😀
Yesterday I was in the bedroom and the electricity flickered off and on. I heard something running and went into the kitchen to check it out. My airfryer had come on and was running at 375°. I had forgotten to unplug it after using it earlier that day. It scared me to think of what could have happened had I not been home. To make matters worse, I live in a senior apartment complex. Lesson learned the hard way.
I have a rhubarb custard pie that I love! I use my home canned rhubarb sauce on the bottom of a baked crust then fill the crust with vanilla pastry cream, refrigerate until firm then top with a little while cream. So good !
I found a hack to keep my drawer dividers from slipping around. Went to Dollar Tree & got a pool noodle. Cut it and place them behind the dividers. I used as many as I needed to make them not move. Worked great! Love your channel! ❤
I love those liners for my drawers, but also for my cutting boards. I keep a piece under my huge wooden cutting board to not slide and I have another one tucked in with my other cutting boards just in case. Game changer.
Hello Becky. You inspire me so much. I remember when you organized your pantry and drawers in your kitchen. I like the idea of having a box for donations. Have a good week.
Becky, when I make a big batch of pie crust, I put it into the pie plates right away. I cover with plastic wrap, stack, and then put in a large plastic bag. That eliminates all the mess all at once. I can make 6 to 7 shells, or numerous butter tart shells.
Putting things away as you use them will help so much with the stress having to clean/ organize a mess. As a mother of 5 I definitely learned this quickly. 😊
To keep things from sliding around in my drawers I use museum gel, it’s clear and comes in a small jar, just pull a little piece off and put it under the item you want to keep from sliding, it’s fantastic and removable
I have made Rhubarb pies for 50 years and have never made it with a custard. Will try it this week the Rhubarb is ready too be pulled. I do make a coconut cream pie with thin stock red Rhubarb that is cut in tiny slices. I make the filling with can coconut cream and sweeten condensed milk corn starch and vanilla. Add the Rhubarb too the mix just as it starts too come too a slow boil and cook till the Rhubarb is tender . Pour into cooked pie crust. Add whipped cream when cooled.
@@Leslie-wb8cbMy husband drinks so much coffee that I accused him of main lining freeze dried. He said “nope,just a pinch of grounds between my cheek and gums” 😂😅🤣
I did a huge pantry clean out and I donated so many dishes, pots, pans, etc. and I did the same thing room by room and it is so freeing and so much easier to keep tidy when you pair down! I'm like you, once I get started on cleaning out a room, I just keep going! 😅
I dont know why I have never thought of those drawer liners!! Def on my list now. I love watching your videos because I get so many ideas of things to try.. either practical or product. Just getting to finish this video today while having coffee.. moving day is Saturday and I cannot wait to be finished this part of it. I will have a few videos to catch up on by then too. Great way to relax. Thanks for sharing with us ❤😊
As Occupational Therapist I used the liner for a lot of things, like to sit a patient so he he/she not slip as the hands, his/her feet, what I use to work, etc. that’s one of the go things for a lot of help in the house too. Good for you Becky.
I started watching this video while cleaning my oven. I did not know you were going to clean your ovens. I was wondering how I was going to get the baked-on grease and food off my oven grates. I saw you using the scrub daddy. Forgot I had these in the closet. Thank You! Made cleaning easier to watch and listen while I cleaned. 😃
There’s no better feeling than doing a deep clean and organizing day! You just feel so good about yourself. I have put those liners in all my kitchen and bathroom drawers and travel trailer. I did put a little piece of double sided tape on each corner for extra reassurance. ♥️🙏🏻🇨🇦
We bought a stainless steel filter for our 2 and 4 cup coffee cones. The one that was just layers of metal 'fabric' sewn together didn't hold up beautifully but the one with a rigid frame has been great. The gold ones exist too. If you think you might be making more than 1 batch of coffee per day you might want a spare because it can be a bit hard to get them clean before the reside of grounds has dried.
Becky, l think you took us along for a pantry clean out last week. Right? LOL. Seems like it. Good for you, girl. I'm lucky to get to mine every 2 years.
Wow i wish i lived near you. Could use so much of that stuff you are donating. I hope they go to a good home. I also wish i had your energy for cleaning and organizing! Great video as always! Thanks❤
For your sliding drawer organizers use the round cardboard piece at the end of your paper towel roll and put them behind the organizers. I also use the ones from my toilet paper rolls👍🏼
Yes you are definitely stressed ! ...."Now the pantry is all planted out..." LOL Bless you! I always love your videos< i hope you don't mind the gentle ribbing.
I've done that all of my life and I remember my mother saying to me once when I was in my 20s that I needed to remember that. When I got older, I could remind myself of it whenever I had "senior moments" and know they weren't "senior" at all - just moments.
Becky......Happy Sunday!!! I watched this twice & then got up & organized my Washer & Dryer room & all of my drawers in my kitchen!! THANK YOU!!! I really do enjoy cooking...I really do enjoy having organization a little better (from a home with 3 kids, 2 dogs, one Hubby & me!!!) :) ✌🏻
I know you have a creamy ice cream maker what I do to make vanilla ice cream. I take some beans out of my vanilla jar, just one or two and scrape all the beans out and add them to the vanilla ice cream along with the vanilla flavouring so it’s really fun to see the little black specks just likeBryers ice cream.
TIP: Becky, I recenty found "Museum Putty" or "Quake Hold" to keep my kitchen drawer inserts from sliding. It's the best thing I've found. I've tried the shelf lining that you're using, but found that, eventually, it starts to slide as well. I would recommend that you at least try the putty. You can get it at HDepot and likely WMart. (I got my Quake Hold at HDepot.)
I don't know if anyone else mentioned this (I didn't see on a fast scroll thru) museum putty works well on bottom of organizers to keep them from sliding around. I personally don't like the "grippy" drawer liners as I find they get a little sticky. Also, another thought some of the thicker drawer liner you could cut down and place in between your new serving dishes to keep the from clinking against one another and keep them from chipping. Love watching all you do!
Hi, I just want to share with you that you can also use those same draw liners to transfer cakes. Not sure if you already knew that or not but it is an awesome way to use them. I cut it to fit in whatever box I am using to keep my cakes from moving around. I have done this for years and it is perfect. ❤
My kitchen is basically a counter the width of a dishwasher on each side of the sink. It does turn the width of a small drawer/toaster on counter. Mid century house made for only one person. Barely. It does have a pink cooktop and oven though!
@@cynthiafisher9907 oooh I love it! I had a 40s red kitchen once and loved it! I’m still using my vintage tin canisters with red apples on them because I haven’t found pink ones that don’t cost a fortune. I miss that kitchen!
This video relaxed me so much. I think when you do a lot of voice overs it's like ASMR and I totally get lost into your world. Great time watching today and I don't usually comment but after all this time watching I would say it's about time. Thanks so much.
Hey Becky, I have a tip for you. I used to use the drawer liners that you have and they would still slide. I now use clear museum putty or large glue dots to secure my utensil dividers in my drawers. I’ve been using them for 4 months and no sliding.
The Queen's Cabinet is one of my favorite youtubers (after Becky). She is so efficient and knowledgeable. She also has a calming voice that never fails to relax me. I sure wish she would be consistent with uploading videos but I think she may be having some health issues.
I have new very expensive cabinets so yes I use liners. I use the solid ones though so water and such stand in the drawer and cause water damage. I love your organization videos. They make me want to go organize something.😊
Slice up a pool noodle and put the pieces behind the silver ware compartments. Also I use a really good double sided tape under my drawer liner(and shelf liner) to keep it from sliding. Then I put the double sided tape under my organizing containers. I am so happy I saw these ideas on several different u tube videos.
My fathers family is from the UP (Marquette), so I love it when you make your Yooper recipes LOL. Rhubarb custard pie is my absolute favorite!! One difference in my recipe, is to add nutmeg. That really takes it over the top! Beautiful pie!
Rhubarb custard is my favorite pie! Rhubarb is not available in Florida. Just ordered it like one of your viewers suggested. So excited! Great job Becky. Cleaning out my fridge today 🙃😑🥴
I just love your videos! I watched this video this afternoon and ran immediately down to the kitchen and made your Rhubarb Custard Pie. We had to wait for it to cool down but it is SO delicious! I have made so many of your recipes and they are all just delicious! I’ll be making the Lebanese pitas with the yogurt tahini dip this week! Can’t wait! 😊
I just recently went through some home renovations and since everything had to be packed up and moved out, as I was bringing everything back in I took the time to go through and weed out what was no longer needed. I too found things to help with drawer and shelf organization. It has made my life so much easier. As for your drawer liners, that is something I learned from my mother and have always done myself.There is not 1 drawer, cabinet or shelf in my home that does not have a shelf liner. My kitchen and bathroom drawers have the no skid liners and the everything else is lined in a color that blends in . My mother when we were younger just used newspaper as we did not have a lot of money growing up. Now I no longer live in Indiana, I live in Texas so I do not keep any newspaper or paper bags as the Palmetto bugs (giant coackroaches) love them. Cardboard and all such materials do not stay in my house. Everything is transferred to my Lock and Lock. Great job on your organizing! I agree with you it a very rewarding process!
Great job Becky. Keep up the great work. I’m one of those people who has to make sure everything is done right and stays organized at all times. I’m a neat freak some people might say. I was that way since I was 3 or 4. That’s what my mom said,
The vanilla sugar brings back memories of Germany. They have little packets that have sugar infused with vanilla in alot of recipes. These days i normally uses vanilla extract but the one place i really think those packets are better is in whipped cream. It is processed more into something like powered sugar and really intense. So maybe a thought on what to do with all that extra vanilla pods. The German name is Vanillazucker if you want to do research on it!
My grandmother used to make Rhubarb pie and I loved it. I just wish I had the room you have and a pantry, I would love to have a pantry! I made pie crust with my kitchen aid and the first time it was absolutely fantastic but, every time I have made it since it has been awful! I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong?
My goodness I wish I was near you and your friend. Before donating I always ask my friends if they needed any of the items I was donating. I would’ve loved just one baking dish with any type lid. Thanks for playing it forward to all❤❤❤did you know that you could steam the dehydration process in the bottle. Then shake them out🫶🏻
You can harvest rubarbh and cut in to small pieces and then just put them in the freezer for wintertime. I live in the north of Sweden and we have a very short time in the garden

Can you do the recipe for chile Colorado your mom made please? I’ve yet to get a good recipe !

OMGoodness Becky... I did a thing. So you take your recipe for a crustless quiche... but sub in half the flour for corn meal and add an extra egg.... This Quiche - Bread was amazing.... Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, After school snack.. use it as a main or side, heck I cut it thin and put in some bread for a sandwich. I am dicing the last of it and toasting them to finish the cream of mushroom soup as croutons.... I made two. One vegetarian and one carnivore. All gone. So if you have the ingredients like the grated cheese, cooked meat, sautéed veggies and that in the freezer, add eggs, milk and boom great easy dinner with left overs.
Thanks for item testing to see how well they hold up. As a side note, I do a long ferment on my vanilla and I can keep the same vanilla beans for about 15 batches. It takes quite a bit of upfront cost and prep, but then it is just remembering it once a month to shake, turn and top up. Twice a year I take about half of the bottle and decant it into my kitchen bottles for use. At that point I top up with the alcohol of choice and mark the next time it can be drained...usually once every two years per bottle. Yes, it is a collection but i promised myself that I will never run out. On average I have 8 bottles in different liquids and different time brews.
Hugs to you all from Esquimalt
Just a thought. Send a meal in the glass and donate with a note to pass on to another person.

Pyrex pans: freeze meals with a sling, pop out, wrap the contents (label it) to take up less space in freezer. Gift pans to those you make freezer meals for so everyone has the same size pan you freeze in. Then pull meal from freezer, unwrap, pop back into pan to heat. This eliminates the need for those foil pans as well.
If it’s not too late how about keeping the Pyrex with lids you were going to give away to gift along with a meal to a friend? Two gifts in one😀
I do this with metal pans - I’ll load up the freezer meal in a ziplock and freeze it in the pan (makes it nice and square so they stack easily!) and then pop it out of the pan. As long as I make sure the food doesn’t catch the ziploc bag on the bottom (makes it hard to get off) it works like a charm!!
Hey Becky! Once you have flavored the sugar with the vanilla you can grind the pods into a fine powder - tadaa, home made vanilla powder! Perfect to use when baking and you dont want to use a fresh pod! :)

❤️ Becky’s idea! Donate meals in the dishes you’d planned to get rid of; the dishes don’t need to be returned to you.

I use extra sections of that shelf liner to lay down under my cutting boards so they don't slide around. It works great. I've been downsizing a lot of items in my home and it feels so good. Hubby was a hoarder and believed that if one was good, five was better. Over the years, it started stressing me out having to find places for everything. He's passed on and it feels so good to get rid of all the stuff I don't need.
I have a silicone potholder I use that way. It's this, but 'sticky' enough to keep even a large cutting board in place.
I had a scrap left over that I cut in 5X5 squares. They make great jar grippers for stubborn lids.
Sorry for the passing of your husband , but happy for you that you can breathe easier with less items in the house.
ughhh becky, your videos are the absolute best, i love watching you do little projects and you’re obviously so smart, i feel like i learn things & it really is just great to watch the flow that you have in the kitchen/your home! i hope to grow into my life and family like that when im older

I have found if you use the pieces of leftover shelf anti-skid material under the cutting boards (in the middle or one strip on each end) they no longer slip. This makes for much safer chopping (especially with plastic/acrylic/glass cutting boards).
can’t wait to watch this tomorrow while doing my monday cleaning reset!
would love to see a “What I Eat In a Week” style video from you becky! would be nice to see how you actually utilize all your prepped food throughout the week :)
She's done this a few times in the past, but not recently. I think that's just because it's garden season right now, plus all the parties and such going on.
My husband knows when I've been watching by what has been added to our menu! He says are we eating that Becky girl's list? 😊
Great ways to simplify, organize and donate for others!! Your an inspiration!!
Hi, Becky! Your mom has a talent for cake decorating! As a fellow hobby baker, using bubble tea straws instead of the wooden skewers would make things so much easier for her. More sturdy and safe (no wood splinters), and easier to cut with scissors! Also, to make tall cakes more stress-free, stack and fill 3 layers like normally and place the straws around, and then put another cardboard round on top and stack and fill the rest of the cakes, that way the cake won't slide or collapse from the weight. :)
To clarify, are you suggesting a cardboard round in the middle of a cake?
What a good idea.
@@irony11 Yes! So weird, I keep trying to reply with a link to show the process but I guess links aren't allowed. Just google Sugar Geek Show double barrel cake
@@oOdancingmachineOo They haven't allowed links for quite some time. My only problem with this is (not) slicing a really tall piece of cake. 😂
I'm from Michigan and I grew up in the country with a rhubarb plant that I adored as a child. Rhubarb pie was my request for birthdays instead of cake. It was very satisfying watching you organize and clean your pantry and kitchen, It's inspired me to get on with my Spring cleaning after a long cold winter,
Hi Becky - I just tried out a cleaning hack and am SO impressed I thought I would share:
Dissolve a dishwasher tablet in a litre of boiling water.
Pour into baking tray and place in oven on high for 1/2 an hour…. Oven simply wipes clean 😳
It also removes water scale from stainless steel 😳
I appreciate all your cooking, cleaning, gardening, and all the experimenting!
Thank you!
Great video!
I am so very jealous of your huge walk-in pantry area! One day I will have that even if I have to build it myself!
Pie looks delicious!!
Museum wax is a perfect product to keep organizers from shifting. Half a pea size at each corner. TaDa!
I was going to suggest this 😀
Where do you purchase it?
Amazon is where I got mine. 😊
Great tip. I've not thought of that. Thank you from Texas.
You have inspired me to make a tasty dessert and organize my kitchen drawers as they have become unorganized over the last few months. I had the same problem with my bamboo organizers and my husband cut a 2x4 the length of the organizers and put it towards the back of the drawer to fill the space and no more sliding! Happy organizing!!
I’m watching you organize your beautiful large kitchen and thinking I wish I had those drawers!
I live at a beautiful beach with a great home and a galley kitchen
I love to cook and my friends are amazed what I can turn out !
Love watching you create your lovely life!
I haven’t watched TH-cam or this channel in months. I forgot how much I love this! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
I had to order rhubarb from a company up north because the local stores don’t order it (I’m in Central TX). I made your first video taped rhubarb pie recipe - I added strawberries - along with your pie crust recipe. My husband had never had or heard of rhubarb. He swears it’s the BEST pie he has ever eaten!
And leftover pie for breakfast----the best!!!
Hi from a fellow central Texan! (Round Rock)
When you were standing in the pantry trying to decide where to start it reminded me of a funny I actually do when I’m in that position, I start from upper left and do things towards lower right in the room. As I go, I realize it’s awfully secretarial, but makes it make sense ya know. So upper left to lower right, done in no time.
My husband cut a piece of wood that would fit behind the cutlery organizer and I put extra serving spoons on it… it works great!
Deep cleaning, pie baking and sweater wearing… I’m a fall girl and your making me excited for fall 😂
Me too! 🍂🍁🍃🍁🍃🍂
It’s 103 here already !! 😂
@@robinashultz7662 ugh, yes. The heat index has been 107°F for weeks where I live. What happened to the spring?!
Thank God for our Becky. When all is sad in the world, I remember Becky is probably in her kitchen. Everything will be okay.
Yes! ! ! Exactly what I was thinking❤
Hi Becky. Please ALWAYS unplug your air fryer when not in use. If you Google air fryer fires you will find that they are the cause of fire or explosions. It is such a simple step and can prevent such a horrible tragedy. Love your videos!
Smart!
I worked in a fire marshal’s office before I retired. Can’t tell you how many kitchen fire reports I processed! Basic rule to follow is if it has a heating element unplug when not in use. And never set anything your not cooking g on the stove top.Another thing I recommend is unplug anything your not using , saves a little electricity and thus a smaller bill 😀
Yesterday I was in the bedroom and the electricity flickered off and on. I heard something running and went into the kitchen to check it out. My airfryer had come on and was running at 375°. I had forgotten to unplug it after using it earlier that day.
It scared me to think of what could have happened had I not been home.
To make matters worse, I live in a senior apartment complex. Lesson learned the hard way.
Love using the drawer grippers. I also use them under cutting boards to keep them in place and to help open jars.
I have a rhubarb custard pie that I love!
I use my home canned rhubarb sauce on the bottom of a baked crust then fill the crust with vanilla pastry cream, refrigerate until firm then top with a little while cream.
So good !
Those drawer liners are great for the back of your car. Keeps boxes and bags or coolers from sliding around. Good job.
I use liners too…they great…like my drawers organized too.😊
I found a hack to keep my drawer dividers from slipping around. Went to Dollar Tree & got a pool noodle. Cut it and place them behind the dividers. I used as many as I needed to make them not move. Worked great! Love your channel! ❤
I love those liners for my drawers, but also for my cutting boards. I keep a piece under my huge wooden cutting board to not slide and I have another one tucked in with my other cutting boards just in case. Game changer.
Great job on all your organizing! You're always so fun and enjoyable to watch 🥰
Hello Becky. You inspire me so much. I remember when you organized your pantry and drawers in your kitchen. I like the idea of having a box for donations. Have a good week.
Becky, when I make a big batch of pie crust, I put it into the pie plates right away. I cover with plastic wrap, stack, and then put in a large plastic bag. That eliminates all the mess all at once. I can make 6 to 7 shells, or numerous butter tart shells.
Putting things away as you use them will help so much with the stress having to clean/ organize a mess. As a mother of 5 I definitely learned this quickly. 😊
To keep things from sliding around in my drawers I use museum gel, it’s clear and comes in a small jar, just pull a little piece off and put it under the item you want to keep from sliding, it’s fantastic and removable
Becky an idea for your pantry closet might be to hang hooks on the top shelf and hang your pots and pans that have holes if they fit. an idea!
I have made Rhubarb pies for 50 years and have never made it with a custard. Will try it this week the Rhubarb is ready too be pulled. I do make a coconut cream pie with thin stock red Rhubarb that is cut in tiny slices. I make the filling with can coconut cream and sweeten condensed milk corn starch and vanilla. Add the Rhubarb too the mix just as it starts too come too a slow boil and cook till the Rhubarb is tender . Pour into cooked pie crust. Add whipped cream when cooled.
You could also blitz up the dried vanilla beans into a fine powder. Can add it to cookies and cakes
Or to snort when you've had a particularly rough day. LOL
@@Leslie-wb8cbMy husband drinks so much coffee that I accused him of main lining freeze dried. He said “nope,just a pinch of grounds between my cheek and gums” 😂😅🤣
I cook down rhubarb with sugar and strain it for juice. It is delicious with carbonated water. I freeze it.
I did a huge pantry clean out and I donated so many dishes, pots, pans, etc. and I did the same thing room by room and it is so freeing and so much easier to keep tidy when you pair down! I'm like you, once I get started on cleaning out a room, I just keep going! 😅
So motivating! I love the drawer organizing!
I dont know why I have never thought of those drawer liners!! Def on my list now. I love watching your videos because I get so many ideas of things to try.. either practical or product. Just getting to finish this video today while having coffee.. moving day is Saturday and I cannot wait to be finished this part of it. I will have a few videos to catch up on by then too. Great way to relax. Thanks for sharing with us ❤😊
As Occupational Therapist I used the liner for a lot of things, like to sit a patient so he he/she not slip as the hands, his/her feet, what I use to work, etc. that’s one of the go things for a lot of help in the house too. Good for you Becky.
I started watching this video while cleaning my oven. I did not know you were going to clean your ovens. I was wondering how I was going to get the baked-on grease and food off my oven grates. I saw you using the scrub daddy. Forgot I had these in the closet. Thank You! Made cleaning easier to watch and listen while I cleaned. 😃
There’s no better feeling than doing a deep clean and organizing day! You just feel so good about yourself. I have put those liners in all my kitchen and bathroom drawers and travel trailer. I did put a little piece of double sided tape on each corner for extra reassurance. ♥️🙏🏻🇨🇦
We bought a stainless steel filter for our 2 and 4 cup coffee cones. The one that was just layers of metal 'fabric' sewn together didn't hold up beautifully but the one with a rigid frame has been great. The gold ones exist too. If you think you might be making more than 1 batch of coffee per day you might want a spare because it can be a bit hard to get them clean before the reside of grounds has dried.
Becky, l think you took us along for a pantry clean out last week. Right? LOL. Seems like it. Good for you, girl. I'm lucky to get to mine every 2 years.
Happy Sunday. Thank you for keeping us entertained on this rainy Sunday evening in South Africa. ❤ Love your videos 🎉
Wow i wish i lived near you. Could use so much of that stuff you are donating. I hope they go to a good home. I also wish i had your energy for cleaning and organizing! Great video as always! Thanks❤
For your sliding drawer organizers use the round cardboard piece at the end of your paper towel roll and put them behind the organizers. I also use the ones from my toilet paper rolls👍🏼
I was thinking about some canning lid rings. I like your idea
Yes you are definitely stressed ! ...."Now the pantry is all planted out..." LOL Bless you! I always love your videos< i hope you don't mind the gentle ribbing.
I've done that all of my life and I remember my mother saying to me once when I was in my 20s that I needed to remember that. When I got older, I could remind myself of it whenever I had "senior moments" and know they weren't "senior" at all - just moments.
Made me giggle too..... Bless you Becky 😊
Becky......Happy Sunday!!! I watched this twice & then got up & organized my Washer & Dryer room & all of my drawers in my kitchen!! THANK YOU!!! I really do enjoy cooking...I really do enjoy having organization a little better (from a home with 3 kids, 2 dogs, one Hubby & me!!!) :) ✌🏻
I know you have a creamy ice cream maker what I do to make vanilla ice cream. I take some beans out of my vanilla jar, just one or two and scrape all the beans out and add them to the vanilla ice cream along with the vanilla flavouring so it’s really fun to see the little black specks just likeBryers ice cream.
Becky, you should save some of the bamboo organizers for your garden room to use on the shelves.
TIP: Becky, I recenty found "Museum Putty" or "Quake Hold" to keep my kitchen drawer inserts from sliding. It's the best thing I've found. I've tried the shelf lining that you're using, but found that, eventually, it starts to slide as well. I would recommend that you at least try the putty. You can get it at HDepot and likely WMart. (I got my Quake Hold at HDepot.)
Those bamboo dividers look amazing, great clean and de-clutter, always a nice feeling when things are more organised for sure. xxx
I don't know if anyone else mentioned this (I didn't see on a fast scroll thru) museum putty works well on bottom of organizers to keep them from sliding around. I personally don't like the "grippy" drawer liners as I find they get a little sticky. Also, another thought some of the thicker drawer liner you could cut down and place in between your new serving dishes to keep the from clinking against one another and keep them from chipping. Love watching all you do!
Hi,
I just want to share with you that you can also use those same draw liners to transfer cakes. Not sure if you already knew that or not but it is an awesome way to use them. I cut it to fit in whatever box I am using to keep my cakes from moving around. I have done this for years and it is perfect. ❤
GREAT JOB- YOU REALLY INSPIRE US.. THANKS BECKY
I’m so jealous of your huge kitchen and pantry. I swoon every time I see it!
My kitchen is basically a counter the width of a dishwasher on each side of the sink. It does turn the width of a small drawer/toaster on counter. Mid century house made for only one person. Barely. It does have a pink cooktop and oven though!
@@cynthiafisher9907 oooh I love it! I had a 40s red kitchen once and loved it! I’m still using my vintage tin canisters with red apples on them because I haven’t found pink ones that don’t cost a fortune. I miss that kitchen!
Yay, I'm so happy when Becky's videos come up, even cleaning
This video relaxed me so much. I think when you do a lot of voice overs it's like ASMR and I totally get lost into your world. Great time watching today and I don't usually comment but after all this time watching I would say it's about time. Thanks so much.
I love your pantry and am so envious of all your storage. I would keep my extra opened boxes of baggies there.
THAT IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PIE!!!
You’re awesome! I watched the video about the 5 casserole meals and this one and now I want to watch all! I’ve subscribed!
Hey Becky, I have a tip for you. I used to use the drawer liners that you have and they would still slide. I now use clear museum putty or large glue dots to secure my utensil dividers in my drawers. I’ve been using them for 4 months and no sliding.
Becky you need to watch the queenscabinet videos on her organization for her kitchen. I think you would like them.
The Queen's Cabinet is one of my favorite youtubers (after Becky). She is so efficient and knowledgeable. She also has a calming voice that never fails to relax me. I sure wish she would be consistent with uploading videos but I think she may be having some health issues.
I have new very expensive cabinets so yes I use liners. I use the solid ones though so water and such stand in the drawer and cause water damage. I love your organization videos. They make me want to go organize something.😊
I use the foil oven liners in the bottom of the oven. I purchase pkg of 2 at the big box store. Game changer for oven cleaning.
I use those liners in most of my kitchen cabinets including the pots and pans and dishes. They work wonderfully for me. Makes life so much easier!
Slice up a pool noodle and put the pieces behind the silver ware compartments. Also I use a really good double sided tape under my drawer liner(and shelf liner) to keep it from sliding. Then I put the double sided tape under my organizing containers. I am so happy I saw these ideas on several different u tube videos.
My fathers family is from the UP (Marquette), so I love it when you make your Yooper recipes LOL. Rhubarb custard pie is my absolute favorite!! One difference in my recipe, is to add nutmeg. That really takes it over the top! Beautiful pie!
Becky, great video! You are never idle! You motivate me! That’s a good thing! Bless your little family! Miss Linda ❤️❤️🥰🥰
Rhubarb custard is my favorite pie! Rhubarb is not available in Florida. Just ordered it like one of your viewers suggested. So excited! Great job Becky. Cleaning out my fridge today 🙃😑🥴
I just love your videos! I watched this video this afternoon and ran immediately down to the kitchen and made your Rhubarb Custard Pie. We had to wait for it to cool down but it is SO delicious! I have made so many of your recipes and they are all just delicious! I’ll be making the Lebanese pitas with the yogurt tahini dip this week! Can’t wait! 😊
Becky so happy to see this video today, got me thinking I need to do some Spring cleaning in my kitchen also. I love watching cleaning videos too.
I just recently went through some home renovations and since everything had to be packed up and moved out, as I was bringing everything back in I took the time to go through and weed out what was no longer needed. I too found things to help with drawer and shelf organization. It has made my life so much easier. As for your drawer liners, that is something I learned from my mother and have always done myself.There is not 1 drawer, cabinet or shelf in my home that does not have a shelf liner. My kitchen and bathroom drawers have the no skid liners and the everything else is lined in a color that blends in . My mother when we were younger just used newspaper as we did not have a lot of money growing up. Now I no longer live in Indiana, I live in Texas so I do not keep any newspaper or paper bags as the Palmetto bugs (giant coackroaches) love them. Cardboard and all such materials do not stay in my house. Everything is transferred to my Lock and Lock. Great job on your organizing! I agree with you it a very rewarding process!
I LOVE YOUR HOUSE!!! All the space!! The gardens!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great job Becky. Keep up the great work.
I’m one of those people who has to make sure everything is done right and stays organized at all times. I’m a neat freak some people might say. I was that way since I was 3 or 4. That’s what my mom said,
I'm so glad you got to have a slower day to reset the kitchen. We all need those in this busy life we have.
I am so jealous Of your weather. It is 94° here in mobile Alabama I'm about to melt... I hate this summer time. That Rhubarb Pie looked awfully good.
Your spaces look so nice these are some of my favorite types of videos.
Becky, a great change. I love organizing vids. Thnx
The vanilla sugar brings back memories of Germany. They have little packets that have sugar infused with vanilla in alot of recipes. These days i normally uses vanilla extract but the one place i really think those packets are better is in whipped cream. It is processed more into something like powered sugar and really intense. So maybe a thought on what to do with all that extra vanilla pods. The German name is Vanillazucker if you want to do research on it!
Unfortunately, those little packets don't have real vanilla in them. They are called Vanille Zucker.
Aire liquor!
I love your pantry! What a wonderful space!
My grandmother used to make Rhubarb pie and I loved it. I just wish I had the room you have and a pantry, I would love to have a pantry! I made pie crust with my kitchen aid and the first time it was absolutely fantastic but, every time I have made it since it has been awful! I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong?
Having a dilemma with your drawers is interesting. I have 6 very small drawers in my kitchen. My delima is not being able to close the drawers
My goodness I wish I was near you and your friend. Before donating I always ask my friends if they needed any of the items I was donating. I would’ve loved just one baking dish with any type lid. Thanks for playing it forward to all❤❤❤did you know that you could steam the dehydration process in the bottle. Then shake them out🫶🏻
You can harvest rubarbh and cut in to small pieces and then just put them in the freezer for wintertime. I live in the north of Sweden and we have a very short time in the garden
