    This may sound dumb, but among your many positive qualities is the fact that you put your hair up when you’re cooking! I can’t believe how many of these TV chefs have their hair flying everywhere. Yuck!

      I agree! When I was young I was a waitress. Back then we were required to wear hair nets. Anyone cooking was also required to wear them.

      I always put my hair up, and hair still ends up in the food sometimes (yuck) but how do people who wear their hair down not have so much hair in the food.

    I learned from my mom to plate greasy appetizers, like the bacon wrapped dates, on a bed of shredded lettuce (well dried of course). Not only absorbs the oil, but looks more colorful too. Hope your pup is feeling better. Bless.

  • @jackwilkinson9343
    @jackwilkinson9343 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am so incredibly sorry that you have to go through your dog having seizures, I know how emotionally draining it can be and how worrisome you can get. My yellow lab who is almost 13 years old has been having seizures since early august, and the vet has prepared us that these could be the final weeks with him as she suspects he has a brain tumor. I am 17 years old and I have always taken for granted having my dog (duke) for almost my whole life, and I know how much a dog can mean to someone, best of wishes to you and your family and those appetizers looked amazing!

    Awww Becky, I'm so sorry about your sweet baby. I hope he/she is doing much better now. My Maggie just passed away last Thursday. My heart is broken so I know what you're going through. When they're sick we just want to fix them asap - they don't understand what's happening to them. Your recipes look delicious and I can't wait to try them all. Hugs and blessings! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!

    Some alternatives to alcohol for deglazing a pan if you still want to get some concentrated flavor: a little good quality vinegar and a bit of water, or chicken stock, or (depending on the recipe) a little watered down fruit juice - apple, grape, cranberry, lemon or lime.

  • @clareseib9000
    @clareseib9000 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thank you for this! I always see you videos pop up in my recommended feed, and now I'm subscribed! I love cooking this way - no fuss but all whole ingredients (with some exceptions like the cream cheese of course lol). It's just so nice to see a home cook make delicious dishes without using a ton of boxed, process ingredients or being all hoity toity with exclusive ingredients. I went ahead and actually bought the "real salt" you talked about! I'm really excited to use it and actually bought a few extra ones as xmas gifts for my family! What a great gift for anyone who eats! lol

    Becky, on the SEIZURES, we recently found out that flea applications can cause seizures, ONLY USE FRONTLINE. This could be the cause of your doggie's seizures, my shepherd was having seizures, switched to Frontline, no more seizures. The other companies that make flea applications are poisoning your dogs. Sad, but true. Love your videos, you, your garden and your kitchen, and hubby are doing great!

    My thoughts are with you for your beautiful Gizmo. It’s so very hard when our pets are sick, my boy Jack has heart failure he too is medicated. I value each day I have him as a bonus now. On a brighter note I will definitely be making the caramelised onion dip for Christmas Day. In Australia we don’t celebrate thanksgiving but I do hope that you enjoy yours.

    just to let people know, quite a lot of alcohol is left in food after cooking, especially if you serve it straight away! Alcohol retention in food preparation (1992) showed that even when flambe-ing food, 70-75% of the alcohol was left behind, but after 2 or 3 hours, there's still around 5% alcohol left in the dish! (there are probably more up to date studies but i haven't looked into any myself)

    My passion has always been cooking and baking. Unfortunately my adult daughter has absolutely no desire to learn or have any of my recipes. It absolutely breaks my heart. I love that you and your mom cook together. I have always dreamed of that day, but I have given up on that. Cooking and baking throughout the years has been my therapy. Love to watch your videos and see how passionate you are. ❤

      @staynyourlane422 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      Hi. I am nosey and read your comment. I just wanted to suggest that you tell your daughter how enlightening it would be to have you two cooking together. My Mom, never wanted to interfere with my adult married life. After being diagnosed with Alzheimer's, I learned from my uncle that she wanted me to share her gardening with her. She had food, flower and spice gardens every year. She must have relayed to my uncle her desire to get me interested in what she did and to be honest, I don't know where I would have found the time with raising two small boys, a full time career and a side hustle to make ends meet. But if she had just said to me.. I would love to have you come hang out and lets garden together, I would have bent over backwards to make that happen. Just a thought. It haunts me now that she wanted something so simple that I could have given her, if I had only known. Sometimes, the phase of life depicts thought patterns. As I age I tend to think of others' before myself. I don't think I was ever selfish but maybe a bit overwhelmed with life. Holidays are a good time to cook together! Try it!

      Same for me and my adult daughter. However, my adult grandson loves to cook. We cook together regularly and we enjoy it so much.
      The extent of my daughters cooking is limited. I find that odd since I have always had a passion for cooking/baking all her life.. My daughter uses only salt, pepper and garlic powder on everything she makes..everything tastes so similar and bland but I never complain (her son does lol).

      Collect your recipes in a book , nothing fancy, and give it to your daughter. I am 75 now and would love to have had both my grandmothers’ and mother’s recipes. People change. Keep the traditions alive even if someone finds your book in a thrift store someday and is overjoyed 🦋

      I have started that yes. It’s a wonderful idea. My mother made a homemade recipe book from both sets of grandmothers in 1990 and I cherish it.

    Hello Becky, after years of cooking nearly 65 years now, I discovered that to shred cheese, stick the chunk in the freezer for a little bit. Makes it so much easier to shred. Thanks for all you do! Your the energizer bunny!

    I just discovered this channel today and it's my new favorite. The instructions are clear, as are the explanations for alterations to recipes. The friendly delivery of this information makes me want to come back for more. Thanks for this excellent video and so many others you've so generously shared in your warm, friendly style.

    Your last video had me really inspired for my friends giving and I ended up making a whole 15lb turkey, a bunch of sides and I made an apple pie from scratch and I've never been so proud of myself. As someone who suffers from mental illness your chanel has given me a lot of inspiration to get back in the kitchen and have fun. It really has been helpful ❤️

    I'm binge-watching your 2021 videos.... A great way to pack things for travel, I use my laundry baskets! I have both square and rectangles, put a towel in the bottom for hot things and plenty of room to stack everything else. Works great for slow-cookers & dutch ovens too.

    I like to caramelise a load of onions at once in my crockpot. I then dehydrate them. They are sooooo good. You can use them in so many things, either straight up or hydrate first. Another thing is you can powder the dried onions, and adding this to soups or stews is oh-my-goodness

    Other than the spinach artichoke dip, I hadn’t heard of the others. And they sound A-MAZ-ING!!! I love appetizers and will definitely be making those 3 over the holidays.

    Bless your heart hun. I know what your going through. Been there with several animals and it's heart breaking watching your baby suffer. I had a precious baby, Harley was his name. I loved him dearly ❤️ he also had seizures. I had him on meds to. One night I put him to bed, covered him up with his favorite blanket, kissed him and told him Mommy loves him and said a prayer. Got up the next morning and went over to him and he hadn't moved. He had gone to be with Jesus. Crying as I share this. I will always long to see my Precious Harley in Heaven. Thank God that I have Hope of knowing 🙏 that. My Prayers are with you🥰🐕❤️

And we are definitely here for you, not just your cooking, so please share away and never feel bad for being real... it's one of your traits that I really love. The appetizers look amazing too, and I will be trying all of them, for sure! Have a great Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving!
