To skip the problem of stripping the leaves off thyme, just put the stalks of thyme in the freezer, in a plastic bag. Just crush the frozen stalks lightly and the leaves fall off into the bottom of the bag. Remove the woody stalks and it’s all done! Keep the thyme frozen in a jar and it tastes just like fresh thyme from the garden. I also dry some of the leaves and they have a slightly different flavour.

I love everything about you. I am working towards a homestead and you are the most relatable person ive found on youtube. Thank you for being you
Good luck on your homestead. ❤
Me too! Looking for the “perfect” acre, 😉😘
We love our heated mattress pad instead of a blanket. Turn it on 15 to 30 minutes before going to bed. Makes a world of difference. We also heat with wood.
A heated mattress pad is a game changer. I wish more folks knew about them!
I agree. We love our mattress warmer. Slipping between those warm sheets!! Awwwwww!!!
I love mine too!!
New Zealander here. We use electric blankets. Go under the bottom sheet. A heated blanket would cost more in electricity because heat going into the room?
Yep the heated under blanket here in the uk is really a lot cheaper than the over blankets you can get, and it feels like getting in a warm bath when you get in bed it’s AMAZING. Uses very little electricity too x
I've been using a Diva Cup exclusively for more than 15 years, and it's great. Comfortable, never leaks, not messy, and so much more convenient than any other option I tried. It's wonderful for travel and camping, and I've saved SO much money. The first time putting it in was scary, but after that it's easy. I love that I've had 15+ years of zero-waste period care.
Yeah I switched to a cup about 10 years ago and would never go back, it’s so much easier and cheaper and you don’t need to carry anything around with you!
Totally agree, it has been a life saver as I am now premenopausal.
I agree, I switched to a cup a few years ago and ill never go back. Took some trial and error at first, and the diva cup wasn't for me cause the tail is too short, but once I got it right its the most comfortable option.
Good Morning, thank you sharing your grocery hauls with us. Just want to recommend these 3 Gravy mixes that I use and it just requires adding water. I always pick these up at Walmart. Morrison Country Style Peppered Gravy Mix, 24 Oz -$3.97, Southeastern Mills Onion Gravy Mix, 1.70 oz - $1.24 and Southeastern Mills Brown Gravy Mix, 1.70 oz - $0.93.
So easy to make and would go great with Instant Mash Potatoes. The Country Gravy is a winner on breakfast biscuits or, with any meal. I am looking into buying more “just add water” items on my next shopping trip. Oh, also.. the Zatarain’s Rice Dinners are a great side or added to canned beef or chicken. ( tacos or casserole? ) We really love their Cilantro and Lime Boxed Rice.
I love grocery hauls. It's very interesting to me to see what other people shop for. And I have seen your appetizer video and they all look absolutely wonderful. Thank you for the work that you do to bring me videos to us for our entertainment and education. Be well, stay safe, love from Texas.
Thank you so much 😊 I love them too! I don't know why lol
I told my dad I watch grocery hauls he asked what it is. Then showed him he said he could see why people would watch them but not for him 😂
@@hannahkayee831 🤣🤣🤣
I, too, suffer from "cart envy". Even foods I am not so fond of, look better in someone else's cart. Lol.
I think it's hilarious that you mentioned growing your own peanut butter. I literally harvested my peanut crop last week and have hung them to dry. I use my handy dandy Vita Mix and make my own peanut butter. Totally organic, grown in my own yard, lol...
You should try it!
You can even make a small batch using a Magic Bullet, dry roasted peanuts, and a little of your favorite oil (salt optional). 🥜
@@susanturner1171 Hi Susan! I'm actually in 8A and have grown Spanish peanuts for years. As long as you have about 115-120 days of growth and SOME heat, I think they could be grown. Since her 8B is PNW, it may be that she needs to put some sort of covering over the plants to add more heat. I'm east of ATL and we don't lack in the heat, lol...and GA is known for it's peanuts.
I had volunteer peanut plants in a flower bed this year. Left overall from a forgetful squirrel? I transferred them to a pot. I need to harvest them too.
@@susanturner1171 my family lives in zone 8b here in SC, and my uncle actually was a farmer that grew peanuts some years.
I like Woodchuck pear hard cider. So good!
As for cider/hard cider - it’s not just overseas. I’m from Canada and didn’t realize the difference until a US friend mentioned her toddler loved ‘cider’. We refer to cider as being alcoholic and everything else as juice (filtered/unfiltered etc). Had a good laugh and discussion of regional differences at the same time! 😉😊
Oh good to know!! That’s funny
Same for us in Norway as in Canada about the cider.
It must be regional in Canada too, I'm in Ontario and it's more normal to see regular apple cider non alcohol.
Same thing in French (Canada), when we talk about "cidre" it is an alcoholic beverage whereas every thing else is considered "jus de pomme" apple juice.
I absolutely love the heated blanket
I bought a heated mattress pad from Walmart several years ago and I am still using it. It is queen- sized and has dual controls. I use it daily. I love it because it was designed to be slept upon whereas many heating pads or heated blankets are not designed to be slept on top of. It was really great when I hurt my back.
I agree. The heated mattress pad is a far better choice. We loved ours.
You are an inspiration! This "old dog" is definitely learning new tricks from the young women currently homesteading full time or in concert with their day jobs/professions. Thank you for your positive energy output Ms. Becky. Keep on keepin' on! Happy Thanksgiving.
Fairly new subscriber and I’ve been binge watching the HECK out of your channel while at work. I have a desk job and watching your videos just makes the day more enjoyable! I went to culinary school and love cooking and food in general, it’s my biggest passion, to find someone else who is just like me in that sense and loves being in the kitchen is just so refreshing. Your channel has given me so many ideas and has just re-inspired my passion and creativity with my food. Now the main reason for my comment…..try the menstrual cup…..LIFE CHANGING! I put it over for 3 years now because honestly they scared the bejesus out of me. I made the switch to organic cotton tampons but still felt very wasteful….not to mention I have really painfully and heavy periods and I heard the cup is supposed to help reduce those symptoms….so I bought one last month and it has really changed my mind. Don’t get me wrong, a little tricky the first time, but once you get the hang of it it feels so liberating lol. Love your channel, truly obsessed! Can’t wait for more gardening content as that’s something else I’ve been Interested in trying 😊
Ta;liking about menstruation products is not TMI as far as I’m concerned. They’re a fact of life, and having people like you talk about how you feel and what you like or dislike about these products is very helpful for the rest of us. I love watching all your videos. Thank you for sharing.🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺 & 🐶Omega the Cavalier🐶
Hi Becky - just love your channel and content. You are so much like me it's ridiculous! I have 24 yrs. on you, so I cannot and do not accomplish what you do these days, but your videos motivate me to do more than I have been!
Just wanted to say, I had a fur baby with epilepsy (he's passed from old age last year), but anyway, he developed it when he was 1 and he lived to be 2 weeks short of 13 (best guess because he was a rescue). I had to give him medication 2 X per day precisely every 12 hours. Once we got his seizures under control and his medication at the therapeutic level (within a month of the first seizure). He never had one that I'm aware of again. That's 11+ yrs and he was a big boy (German Shepherd).
I started giving him his meds with peanut butter, but the day it got stuck to the roof of his mouth with the pill, was the last day he would take peanut butter. I had to become very creative and some other things that work are: cream cheese, liver sausage and hot dogs. I wasn't crazy about giving him processed food bites 2 X a day, so I started making 'mush'; which was lean ground beef or pork (cooked) and ground in the food processor with either cooked carrots, peas or green beans. This makes a somewhat wet and moldable consistency. It freezes really well too. Just thought that I'd share this information with you. Please know that your little friend can live a seizure free life as long as you are diligent about not going over 12 hours between doses as anit-seizure medication doesn't have a half life. Happy Thanksgiving and many thanks again for your channel, content and simply being adorable you!!
i love using a reusable cup, it makes me feel 100X better, my periods are shorter and i don’t cramp nearly as bad as i used to. plus it’s just better for the environment and for your body. i highly recommend it to anyone who is interested, but you definitely have to be prepared to see and touch more than you ever had to before 😅
You’ve gotta try a cup!!! They are so much nicer! Less cramps, less changing, never smells, no chemicals, no plastics! It did take me a few periods to get used to inserting but now it’s very simple and quick! Only change morning and night usually!!
Flannel sheets are really nice during the cold season.
I live in the UK and genuinely get so much joy watching your videos. I don't know what some of the stuff is. I've never heard of winco. But I'm here for all of it, living through you! Also I'm inspired to plant some veggies in my garden next year! 🖤
Your videos are a mini mental vacation for me ❤️
"$80 seems expensive for a blanket to me"
The quilters, crocheters, and knitters in the audience: "AHEM."
I came across your channel over weekend and now I'm binge watching everything. Love your energy! Also, I really like your hairstyles. 😁
100% would recommend the diva cup!!! I've learned the hard way that not all menstrual cups are created equal. Diva cup is my go-to.
Heated blankets are fantastic. You won't regret buying it Becky x
I love homemade cream of mushroom for green bean casserole. I've never made homemade dream of chicken.
King sized blankets on queen sized beds are great. Less cover-yanking! Fun fact: in advertisements and catalogs they “dress” beds with blankets, comforters and bedspreads a size bigger than the mattress.
Hi Becky, I used peanut butter for my chichiqua to give her medicine. She had heart disease and was on different meds. I did what I could for her. I miss her terribly. I hope your furbaby is ok. Love your hauls.
We always wrap our dog tablets in cheese (cheap slice stuff in plastic) Ruffy loves it.
Oh Becky, just saw the heated blanket comment from my fellow Canuck - they are worth their weight in gold. Also, try an electric mattress pad. Heats you from the bottom up. Most have dual controls & more wiring down around the feet. Toasty.
Hi Becky, I am watching your previous videos to catch up. Your grocery haul is very interesting. There are items I have never heard of before so I need to check them out. Take care.🌞
what is your motivation to homestead for your family? i totally LOVE YOUR HOMESTEADING CHANNEL AND AL YOU DO! AMAZING
First- I love all your videos and it’s so exciting to see how your channel has grown! Second- so sorry to hear about your fur baby having seizures. I also have a dog that suffers from seizures and when your baby gets tired of the peanut butter try Liverwurst. Literally the most disgusting meat paste on Earth, but it works like a charm. Just a tiny bit because I know it’s not the healthiest, but it does work. Just wanted to give you a tip since I was scrambling when my dog got tired of all my other tricks. 🤣
I’m obsessed with grocery hauls! I like seeing what others buy. Some is exactly how I shop and others are way different. I think it’s all in how we were raised or where we live. I like your grocery haul! ❤️
I just made the carmelized onion dip and cranberry salsa! Delicious!!!!
It’s a great day when I check TH-cam and see one of your new videos. I don’t know how you do it all ❤️🤗but I’m grateful you do! Lol
Thank you so much!!
I can not tell you how excited I was to find out that Azure delivers to Phoenix. We have a hard time growing some things here so it’s amazing to be able to stock up on things from them that I can’t grow myself.
Becky - you should try flannel sheets. They make a huge difference I change over to flannel at the beginning of November.
Good idea!
Heated blankets are great! My parents used to heat primarily with a wood stove. I understand the cold bedroom situation.
I am blow away watching all you do. A true inspiration.
Love love love your channel! I am leaving my full time job to stay home with little ones and looking to become more self sufficient. Your videos have been so inspirational! Thank you Becky!
Wow thank you so much! I’m so glad you are here!!
It always amazes me how much embarrassed Americans are when talking about feminine igene products 😂 it's not TMI Becky, I love your videos!! Love from Italy ❤️
I know! Why be embarrassed? I got a bucket full of feminine hygiene stuff..yeast infection stuff ( doesn't happen a lot, but when it does..) pads, tampons etc.. all that stuff! Someone will need it and if you can't get out or it's not on shelf or its outrageously expensive.....I got it! Oh...🤣🤣 I even bough Jock Itch! 🤣🤣 I may need to barter with a man....🤣🤣🤣
Totally depends on your upbringing in the US. My husband had no problem at all grabbing my period products from the store. My toddler knows what tampons are for. 🤷🏼♀️ Our view is it's a totally natural, normal part of life and nothing to be embarrassed about.
@@whatgwenloves agree! I grew up with a single dad as did my younger sister. He would always have us write the brand and kind on a paper so he got the right stuff. What brand of pads and tampons and light, heavy or regular. After a awhile he realized there was variety packs of everything. He got a girlfriend a few years later.. but he was never embarrassed. My daughter is 7 about to be 8 on the 26th and I don't hide about it. It's just a part of being a woman.
I came to say the same!! No need to feel embarrassed and it’s not TMI at all
Depends on how you are brought up and your personal values. I am like Becky in that it is something that is private and not something I discuss. It's not an American thing but a personal thing. I am Australian.
I absolutely adore you.
Peas were my husband’s favorite. 🥲
Thanks !! Love living vicariously through you. ♥️🥰😘❣️🍁🦃
I would love to see how you make your homemade cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup! And if it's possible to can it to be shelf stable. I love your videos! You're awesome!
Ace Pear cider is one of my favorite hard ciders ever!
The heated blanket story i completely get that we have one too and there is no turning back when you have one
Go for the king bed oh my gosh when I upgraded I started sleeping SO much better - you don't realize how much your partner wakes you up. Also just upgrading your mattress generally is so under-rated.
I always like watching grocery hauls. I love to see what others buy. Sometimes I get inspired!
Same!
Deva Cup is life!!! Highly recommend it!
I made macarons for the first time and let me tell you those silicone baking mats with circles on them are a MUST they're not easy to get the same size on parchment paper and I found them come off easier on the baking mat than paper
One of my go to appetizers is whole watet chestnuts wrapped in bacon and topped after cooked with a little maple syrup.
Cloth pads are awesome. I buy mine from sellers on etsy and facebook. All natural and so comfy. Works well with my sensitive skin
Apple juice is generally from sweet apples. Apple cider is generally a mix of sweet and cooking apples, its a good way to use culls.
Bacon wrapped dates are amazing!
Just love all your films thank you so much from Aberdeen Scotland
Hey Becky! There is a company now that makes a reusable plastic tampon applicator to be used with the O.B. Or similar brands with no applicators! I haven’t tried it yet but it totally eliminates the plastic and cardboard! You just rinse it after each use and then disinfect it!
Happy Thanksgiving 😊 Becky. I'm praying for your fur baby. Thank you for your hard work on the videos.
Happy holidays! Thank you!!
I have both an electric heated fleece blanket and a electric under blanket to go on the mattress under the sheet! It’s the best. I use that for the bed (obviously lol) and the heated blanket for the sofa when we are chilling. We actually use a duvet more often as it’s free but if it’s really really cold the heated blanket comes out.
You will be very happy to have a duel control heated blanket. My husband and I ha e very different settings.
Thanks Becky! Love your explications for us in Europe! Your videos are great and inspire me to cook from scratch! Hugs from France 🇫🇷 !!
I have just bought teddy fleece sheets and duvet cover this winter and they are amazingly warm so much better than flannelette ones which are cold to get into we too have only wood burning stove heat in the house great hall this time
NICE Haul, your my haul hero! I use that Mays Sweet Chilli sauce or FRANK'S Sweet Chilli sauce which is the best, and you add that and some Mayo "I prefer Hellman's " and then coleslaw which you can buy as you did pre cut ready to use in the bag stuff. Add chopped up chicken breast and it's so yummy just as slaw without the chicken but the chicken is the BOMB! I made it a few times to bring to a party and it was a huge hit! I love the sweet chilli sauce because it keeps me from having to use too much Mayo.
I love the bun your wearing in this video, when your head is turned to the side I am thinking Maleficent LOL And I've thought of growing my own peanuts one day to make my own Peanut Butter because that stuff right there needs to have its own food group! Love it! Love ya, have a blessed and Happy Holiday with your Hubby and family. Doggies and the Ladies too!
I enjoyed watching your grocery haul and you explaining what you do with different things you bought. 👍🏾❤❤❤
I love you!! I could watch your videos all day lol!! 😊🥰
I was introduced to your channel exactly two weeks ago today. I have been binge watching ever since and finally watched all/caught up. Love your garden, chickens, pups and how you tackle all that you do. I'm interested in canning, food prep and gardening myself & can't wait for my first house to start planting. You've given me so many ideas and definitely looking forward to checking out Asure. (As much as I wanted to like so many videos at once, figured I'd ease in to avoid creeper status 🤣). Just a heads up for me personally tried the diva cup and did not like it, but tried to keep up since it's less waste. Tried Flex disc and fell in love!! Only then to find out about the silicon one. So much more comfortable than the cup. Highly recommend starting with small box of Flex discs to get a feel then get the reusable silicone one. Can't wait for more videos!
Wow Thank you! I’m so very glad you are here!! I might have to try it…..
🤣love heated blanket story. Nice to have dual zones. Your videos rock by the way
If you pull a thyne spring through a mesh sieve you will collect the leaves and discard the stem
That sweet chili sauce is really good! My family loves it on chicken fried rice. 😊
Give the menstral cup a try! I was scared too, but a good friend convinced me to try it and I’ll never go back! The first cycle I used it I was kind of uncomfortable it, but after that I got the hang of it. It doesn’t go in as far as a tampon. I think my symptoms are not as bad now either! It’s a great great thing!
Switching to the diva cup made my cycles so much easier to deal with.
I have wanted to buy a pressure canner and try preserving for the longest time but I was too nervous! You have inspired me to give it a go. I’m going to treat myself to a canner and 2022 is going to be the year!!! 🙂
Same, I bought myself a instapot for Mothers day one year. Took me a year and a half to use it for the 1st time, because it made me nervous.
I'm the same with thyme I have it in the garden all year round but sometimes you just want dried and we call (Australia)cider cloudy apple juice and hard cider is just cider love your content
I highly recommend a heated mattress pad vs the blanket. The heat transfers so much better from you laying on it vs it being on top of you.
Great idea!
Love that idea!
Mae Ploy is amazing! Good choice!
Sweet chili sauce is absolute life! You’re gonna loooove it🥰
I'm a huge fan of my Flex cup! One silicone cup has lasted me years!
Plus I hear they are more comfortable and easier to fit than the Diva. I haven't tried the flex, but got a Diva... the wrong size. NO THANK YOU. *lol* Also the natural sponges really are a pretty nice option, but again, shop carefully and search the 'net for tips and tricks.
I did JUNE cup....6$ for one compared to 30$+ for others. i was so hesitate at first mostly because of prices then JUNE cup came across....im so happy i made the switch!
Love your channel. You have to try fleece sheets, they are so much better than flannel, you will love them, never cold.
Thank you!!
Our dogs have to take medicine too and began to be suspicious of peanut butter. 😂 now we take a marshmallow and cut it in half. Put the pill inside and then stick the two sides back together. They don’t even know it’s in there. I know marshmallows are not the best for them but they only get two a day and are 11 year old bull mastifs so we do what we must. Sending prayers because when the fur babies don’t feel good, mama doesn’t either!❤️
I love, love my heating blanket! I turn down heat, and crank up the blanket. It works for me...☺
I made the carmelized onion dip for a work thing and it was FABULOUS! Everyone was in love with it! Thanks! Doing the Dates next!
Those fried sweet potatoes are soooo good Becky! They retail for $6.99 each at Whole Foods because they’re super clean. The trick with them is to cook them according to the directions, make sure it’s all one single layer and then when they are done turn the oven off and leave them in there to firm up. I also give them a light spray of oil to help them crisp up
I love your videos! So interesting to see what other people buy especially as I live in New Zealand!
I'm curious, how many refrigerators and freezers do you have? I am amazed at the great variety of meals you make. I grew up on 4 main dishes. I try to have more variety, and get lots of great ideas from watching you. Something's I've never heard of before. Great job.
I am from UK, homemade cider come with a health warning definitely don't drink if driveing it can be very strong!!!
Yes i do love apples juice better if from uk farms.
If you buy a new bed try one of the box beds that are shipped to you. Nector and purple are amazing! We love ours!
I love watching your grocery hauls! I don't buy organic normally, so not sure if this pertains to organic, but please make sure your peanut butter you are giving the dogs doesn't contain Xylitol/Xylitol Gum. It is extremely toxic for dogs. I give my little dog an acid reducer pill every morning and that's how I give her the pill as well. She loves peanut butter. lol
It must be a mom thing! When I go shopping with my mom, never fails I always end up getting things I didn't know I needed. lol
Thank you for explaining the difference in ciders. Yes here in the UK we get alcohol if we ask for cider. The other is just fresh apple juice. It makes the video of you and your sister processing all those apples and making cider much more clear now. I couldn't work out how you got it to the alcohol stage 😅😅
Haha yes it’s so funny how they can be named different
I had the same taught , I am Belgian and Cider is an alcoholic beverage...
The Ace Pear Cider is a favorite at our house. The Pineapple is amazing too!
I like to first pressure cook the turkey in my 22qr canner with about 8 qts water plus celert, carrots, onions. Then carefully strain the now broth from solids and pull turkey shreds. Then scrub the canner ( use vinegar to cut any grease).. and can broth and turkey. Tender moist turkey when reheated.
What a great idea to use ginger snap cookies for crumb pie crust. Can’t wait to try this!
I'm on month 3 of using a diva cup. It takes a bit to get used to but I'm loving it so far!
Good to know!
I did JUNE cup....6$ for one compared to 30$+ for others. i was so hesitate at first mostly because of prices then JUNE cup came across....im so happy i made the switch!
@@AcreHomestead i have the ruby cup and I'm very happy after getting used to it. I get why you're hestitant, but when you find the cup that's the right fit for you it can be so easy! :)
I hated it. TMI, but I have a long vagina. It was super hard to get it out. I had to ask my ex wife to get it out for me and she told me I traumatized her for life.
That chilli sauce for chicken is good. I keep meaning to try making my own but haven’t yet. Love pumpkin cheesecake and cider …lots of yummy stuff in your haul!
Love your grocery haul.
For my coleslaw recipe, I use a package of coleslaw, but I shred it smaller. Then I add Miracle whip, & Splenda. When you use the Splenda, use 1/4 cup to 1 cup of regular white sugar. So it is 3-4 tablespoons with the 1/4 cup of Splenda. When I make & serve this coleslaw, this doesn't last long. This is delicious.
We too live in Washington and I also bought that blanket. I absolutely love it. So nice getting into a warm bed!
You are so real my dear. Really chuckled about your story with your hubby and then bed. have a wonderful Thanksgiving at your moms home!❤️💙💜🥰
Thank you! You too!
I love Mae Ploy chili sauce and use it on so many things. One of the favorites is with fried/scrambled eggs. So good.
Try Primal Kitchen Avocado oil mayo, It's at walmart here in oregon. All pure natural ingredients, maybe you want to try all Primal Kitchen condiments. I also recommend their unsweetened ketchup and spicy brown mustard.
I love watching these! You mentioned having trouble finding organic cheese. I know my sister-in-law gets her sliced organic from Costco for a great price. I don’t have a membership but have had good luck at Target and Aldi for sliced and shredded. Neither carry bricks, yet though. Hopefully soon because they are so much more versatile!!
Love watching all your videos!
If you decide to get a new bed, I highly recommend getting a Purple mattress. We’ve had ours for about 5 years and it’s fabulous! Two of my daughters have had theirs even longer and still love them too.
Thank you!
You should consider buying Torani’s to flavor your water. We have a soda stream and add the flavors so yummy and so much cheaper.
loving your nails, becky. congratulations on your channel doing well enough to help you start buying the things you've wanted, but couldn't justify buying. my husband would love a dual zone heated blanket. i keep our room cold and he freezes. so he throws extra blankets on.
Thank you!
Keep an eye out for year-end sales. I got ours at a great discount! :D
