I buy the bag of six avocados at Costco. I let them stay on the counter for a few days to ripen. Then I peel and de-seed them all. I mash them like potatoes, then scoop them with a cookie scoop and freeze them. Then I have avocado pucks for whenever I need them. The color stays green and they taste great. I’m ready to make guacamole anytime.
Adeline Zook on TH-cam gave a GREAT tip for fresh eating avocados-take a ripe (or near ripe) avocado and put in a mason jar filled with cold water. Keep in fridge and they last for a month - I’ve tried and it absolutely works! She has a really good channel too.
i was hoping to see your finished painting project.The comment someone else made a while ago that we like your company so much , that we will watch you cut up pumpkins, well we like to watch you paint too' I admire your energy and how if you run into problems you cheerfully work around them.Glad I found your channel its my favorite now.
Becky, my grandparents were dairy farmers and my mom always got whole raw milk from a dairy close to us. She used the cream off the milk in her cooking and coffee all the time. That was one of the reasons she got that milk. She saved on her grocery bill by getting cream off the top of the milk, making her own half and half, and then the milk. She showed us that she got 3 products out of the raw milk. She also made butter as well.
Love Becky! I was going thru lots of depression and even tried overdosing and I started watching you Becky now I got a garden and it's my comfort place. Thankyou you don't know how much you helped me ❤
Besides loving your authentically happy approach to life and cooking, I have discovered your viewers’ comments. So many excellent tips! I have heard you acknowledge these many times but only started reading them recently. What a productive, caring community you have gathered, Becky. Thank you.
I have tried to do sweet potato slips for a long time. I haven't had any luck . Last spring vi watched many videos. One just planted the sweet potatoes half way in the soil the long way. So I tried that. It never vines out but did grow leaves. I thought it was a failure but when I dug it up underneath was full of small sweet potatoes. It was so surprising.
I use reusable silicone bags for garlic pucks and roasted garlic pucks (thanks to you) and I write such on the reusable baggies and only use them for that purpose. No waste.
Tart cherry juice is full of melatonin as well as regular fresh cherries. That's why it helps you sleep and magnesium relaxes your central nervous system
If you cut your green onions and place the bottoms in water they will grow back for you to cut again. You then can plant in soil inside and have fresh green onions we have gotten about four clippings so far
Please can you show us the finished or finishing the refresh of your seed room? You inspired me so much with that project. ( you always inspire me but especially with that one! )
I wish You & Josh would do another Live. We’d love to hear what His/Your thoughts are on the new House, garden as well as what yall future plans are for the homestead ❤
Never had luck with snapping lids. The don't last as long but Dollar Tree's large plastic cylinder containers with round lids lasted for years. Unfortunately they don't sell the taller ones anymore but smaller ones are still available.
I add the gochujang & the flakes to just about everything now. It's delicious in Mac & cheese, mix in a little soybean paste as well. My daughter bought me Aaron's cookbook, from Aaron & Claire, on TH-cam. Now I keep on hand constantly.
I drink a little tart cherry juice daily. Without some sort of sweetner it is really sour! I just use a little liquid stevia, a little juice and fill my cup with water. So refreshing. So are the meyer lemons and water with a little sweetner. Meyer lemons are so good!
Wow!! I'm going to try this. I have arthritis in my hands, knees, hips, and spine. I've tried so many different things but something tells me the tart cherry juice will help! 🙏🏼
My family went to the local store. I casually mentioned i wanted to look at the seeds. My husband and 5 year old picked out so many flower seeds. Excited for our garden this year
Becky, the best way to grow sweet potato slips is by putting the potatoes in shallow soil- it works so fast! I got dozens of slips that way that kept coming for months. You have to try it!! I put a potato in a shallow dish and filled it with soil until it was half covered. Then just keep it watered and it will start producing slips in no time!
🌷🌷🌷 I did that, onion grown in water, as we have been doing a 3 week pantry challenge because is has been -50 to -70 the past 2.5 weeks. So have not been to town and the store.😊
I was blessed last year when I went to a sweet potato farm looking to purchase slips. The owner was so sweet and simply gave me about 36 slips! They weren’t huge, but the yield was excellent, and there are some still in my pantry. Looks like I will start those slips tomorrow! Thank you for the motivation! ❤
I only buy Argentinian red shrimp if possible. The have a taste that is a cross of shrimp and lobster. So yummy. Kroger carries the frozen one all the time.
Riesling is not normally sweet, it is harvested from the 1st grapes starting the harvesting season, the weet ones are the last harvest with the most sun.
I absolutely love your channel ❤️ I'm disabled and I love watching u.. You're a wonderful woman and I get excited when I see you put a new video up.... Thank you for being you...
Ooo thank you Becky!!!! I always purchase mixed greens for my husband's sandwiches for work and I didn't ever think about putting paper towels in the container!!!! I'm going to do that now! Thank you for that wonderful tip!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Becky, the method you use for growing the sweet potato, you can use also for start an avocado tree. Thanks for a great channel. Love from our house here in South Africa to your house.
I made your bread this weekend. I made one loaf and rolls with the 2nd half. So easy and huge hit with my family. Thank you for testing and getting a perfect recipe for us. Blessings!
I love tart cherry. I work at Amazon and often come home with sore muscles and a restless mind after being active all night (I'm a night shifter). I will alternate between tart cherry juice with magnesium, D3 and K2 supplements and valerian root with the same 3 supplements. The cherry and valerian root help me relax and alleviate my sore muscles so well I've been able to stop using OTC pain and anti inflammatory meds that I had been previously using on an almost daily basis. Also, I know you like making your own salad dressing and usually have that high quality Parmesan cheese. You can use any leftover anchovies to make your own Caesar dressing if you haven't before. I'm catching up on like 3 months that i was behind on your videos because life just wouldn't stop happening and you have been my binge for the last few days. Seeing you is my ray of sunshine. I sing your praises to anyone who gardens or keeps chickens or meal preps and I always want to say "my friend Becky" because you have been a constant in my life for a few years now. I absolutely adore your family, your dad is such a precious person and I feel comforted just being able to include you in my life
I’ve always grown sweet potatoes by cutting out/off around the eyes on the potato, put the toothpicks in them and put them on a jar fill of water, the toothpicks hold the bits of potatoes, eye side down & when there’s roots coming out of them it’s time to plant them & the new potatoes form along the roots 👍🥔🥔🥔🥔🇦🇺💖🦘🥰💖🇦🇺 (then you don’t waste the sweet potatoes, you can still eat the rest that didn’t have eyes on it.
If you want to try the dirt thing again at some point, don’t bury them. I always do my slips in dirt. I just lay them on the dirt and kind of squish them down a little. Keep them watered, in bright light on a heat mat and they sprout great. I’ve never been able to get the water method to work.
I always plant mine in dirt like you do. I place them on a heat mat because they love the heat. I’ve heard that the Japanese sweet potatoes are delicious. I want to try planting some this year if I can find some. Maybe at an Asian Market. But they may not be organic there. I’ll check out Trader Joe’s too.
RoseRed Homestead has a video on safely making/storing “sun dried” tomatoes in oil. I dry lots of cherry/grape tomatoes in the summer, and then use them throughout the year to make batches of sun dried tomatoes in oil as needed. The cherry juice might be nice to flavor kombucha.
Mix your gochujang (jang means sauce) with butter and smear all over chicken before roasting on top of potatoes. A family favorite here! Kimchi is made with gochugaru (garu means powder).
I love the idea of making Valentine's a family thing! We do that with my 7 year old daughter also, I've already been thinking of what extra fun, special meal we will have also. We just celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary and took her to a fancier Chinese resturant with us and we all ordered whatever we wanted to try and share. It was really fun and so heartwarming for her to celebrate the beginning of our marriage with us. I always think there are going to be so many years and times in the future after she is grown where its going to just be me and my husband so I am soaking it up in these younger years especially when it brings her such joy and makes awesome memories.
We have found the dirt method so much faster than the water method. Just use a good soil,lay sweet potatoes on their side and stick down in dirt about half way. Keep soil watered. So much faster.
Hi Becky, I have a tip for your salad and herb storage. Instead of paper towels I use the flour sack towels from WM. Then I throw them in the washer and can reuse them😊 Have a Happy Valentine's day!
Yesterday we got 12 out of 16 eggs from our hens. Lowest number yet this winter. The shortened days and cooler weather has finally gotten to them. It is 69 degrees here in TX and our Tomatoe plants have grown their 2nd set of leaves so they are almost ready to pot up to the next size before planting outside. I also wrap my ball of lettuce in papertowel then wrap in tin foil and it will last over a month in my fridge.
Usually the plastic amazon containers come with the black chalkboard lables and a white chalk pen so you can write what's in them. Mine came with extra labels so i can change them if i change what i store in the containers.
I used the natural calm mag (which is dissolved in a little hot water) added cranberry juice (good for the bladder) every night and the happy result to that was no morning sickness (with both pregnancies) and my unborn/new born babies had a good sleep schedules and never confused night and day before or after they were born.
I use gochujang in a marinade for steak or beef short ribs, with some miso paste and mirin, equal parts, marinade over night and grill them for lunch so delicious
🫡You are such a Boss 💕 I look forward to watching the cookie recipes and appetizers you mentioned. I appreciate your friendly energy and your approach to your channel. You’re truly one of a kind. Wishing you and your family continued wellbeing and good fortune ✨
The TJ's mustards are the best! We always have in hand and several jars of each in the pantry as we go through a LOT! Best use is my husband puts a couple of tablespoons of each in his potato salad and it is Deelish.
I was visiting my daughter in Phoenix last week and saw a Winco. We had to check it out and I loved the store and the bargains. So sad they don't have them in North Carolina :(
Hi Becky! Thank you for the amazing content! I love watching your videos! The plant you purchased is a Monstera Deliciosa. They are one of my favorites! Want to let you know they grow very large. In optimal conditions, it will only take a few years to be 3-4 feet wide and 4-5 feet tall. They are vining plants so it will need a heavy duty and tall support system. Make sure to only secure the main stem to any supports. Don’t tie up the leaf steams (petioles) as they will move throughout the day. Also, as the plant matures, the leaves will naturally fenestrate (split). They are so gorgeous. When you repot, only choose a pot about 1” diameter larger than the current pot and use a very well-draining soil with tons of orchid bark. You can google ‘Monstera soil mixture’ and get tons of great recommendations. These plants love indirect sunlight but can burn in direct sunlight if not properly acclimated. Your sun room would be a great location once it outgrows the kitchen window.
I usually have a cilantro "tree" in my fridge. If you place the bunch in a glass jar and treat them like fresh flowers. Reince them well and cut the stems nicely, put in water in a jar and put in the fridge, it lasts up to a month. If it’s getting old, change the water and resnip the ends
Thank you for the tip. I don't use it that much, so using it for several days in a row is very highly unlikely. I tried it on my counter a while back due to lack of fridge space; it didn't work, it dried up.
I'm so looking forward to watching more of your vlogs! Found you via algorithm just yesterday and I'm a huge fan already! Also looking forward to seeing what Valentine's Day fun you cook up. Valentine's Day just so happens to be my birthday and as a result, I'm a big fan of the day 🥰
When I was a kid, almost everybody had a jar with a sweet potato in it on top of their fridge. That sweet potato vine would grow like crazy! This wasn't for gardening, just for enjoyment.
If you are in Leavenworth in the spring during black-eyed Susans, season head out towards the Peshatin which is nearby (it’s just a direction really, i’m not sure that there are any remnants of the town left. )and look at the hills because they are filled with black-eyed Susans in the spring and it’s so pretty . The whole area is already gorgeous in the spring but ir just makes me happy remembering it - I haven’t been there(during black-eyed Susan season) for over a decade. I hope this spring to go back and visit. My favorite auntie and uncle live up there and it’s always fun to see them. I think your menu and your family tradition planning is wonderful and I hope you have a great time planning and preparing and enjoying the day with your family .
Yayayay! 😊 I just caught up and watched your shopping!!! Love love love your vids! Thank you for sharing all you do! Blessings on you and your family! ❤
I have never put avocados in the fridge! I always thought that fruit doesn’t belong in the fridge because it will never ripen. I am so glad you brought this lil hint on avocados! Thanks, Becky! 🤗
Hi Becky, I don't know if you will reed this, but you will be able to keep your 🥑 fresh longer if you put them in a glas container filled with water en lid in your fridge. Can't what for all the gardening!
Rose red homestead makes a wonderful sun dried tomato. I've been making it for the past two years. She goes through step by step so you can't go wrong. Hope you give it a try ❤❤❤❤
I placed my Sweet Potatoes in a shallow container and covered them between 1/2 & 3/4 of the way with soil. The same day I also placed 3 in a jar of water just as Becky did. One of the jars began to rot and I tossed it out. One of the potatoes in soil dried out quicker than the others and I didn't notice, so it too went bad. I was beginning to wonder if I would ever get any slips as weeks were going by, but I did. The Potatoes in the soil began to grow more and more slips. The vines on a few were so long that I cut them off and placed them in water to root out, and they did. Only one potato in the jars eventually grew a single slip weeks after the soil ones. As long as I kept the soil moist and not too wet they grew many slips. By the time I could plant outside I had slips from the Potatoes and the vines I rooted out to have a good harvest. Whenever I harvest them I now save and root out portions of the vines for more slips.
I buy the bag of six avocados at Costco. I let them stay on the counter for a few days to ripen. Then I peel and de-seed them all. I mash them like potatoes, then scoop them with a cookie scoop and freeze them. Then I have avocado pucks for whenever I need them. The color stays green and they taste great.

Yes, will we get the final reveal on the grow room soon??? It's been a few episodes... Would love to see the new room! 😀
@Meggs23 She posted on a post that after her Valentine's treat video she will post that video. 😊
Aw thanks so much!! It's done so as soon and Valentine's day is over and supper bowl it will come out :)
I've had sweet potatoes in the window sill for two weeks and they are now sprouting, it does take a long time.
Me too checking everyday to see if it’s here.

Love Becky! I was going thru lots of depression and even tried overdosing and I started watching you Becky now I got a garden and it's my comfort place. Thankyou you don't know how much you helped me ❤
❤
Was in the same boat. When I found her she lights up my daywith every post I get
Congratulations on gardening, it makes me feel wonderful when I can share my extra veggies.
@@paulablackwell3463 I noticed I got these big beautiful broccoli growing and peas and I planted garbanzo beans and they are sprouting 😁
I’m so happy you’re still with us. Sending huge hugs from San Diego 🥰

Tart cherry juice also has anti-inflammatory properties and is good for arthritis and gout.

@@cynthiafisher9907I've grown a sweet potato jungle with this method. Works SO well.
I stick my sweet potatoe leaves straight into water from my plants..they grow quickly & make nice indoor plants too, in the gloomy winter days
That cream on the milk will be just fine in your baking. Mom used it for everything because we had cows.
I use reusable silicone bags for garlic pucks and roasted garlic pucks (thanks to you) and I write such on the reusable baggies and only use them for that purpose. No waste.
I gathered pink cone flower seeds from my library’s garden and threw them on my hill. They covered a huge section in just a year!
What part of the country are you in?
We LOVE our shishitos! Started growing them after seeing Jess cook with them. ❤
Becky you can cut pieces of the potatoes with eyes and put them straight in the ground. Though yours looks very fresh and yummy to eat.
Tart cherry juice is full of melatonin as well as regular fresh cherries. That's why it helps you sleep and magnesium relaxes your central nervous system
Oh interesting! Thanks so much for that info
@@AcreHomesteadyou have to take it before bed, not in the middle of the day.
Magnesium is needed for over 400 things in the body.
Glycinated magnesium works best for your body to break down. As research says.
I can't live without my magnesium at the end of every night. It has helped me get off of my bp meds.
When you open, the anchovy is, you can freeze the rest
I like to keep them in the freezer and add to whatever I want to add umami to. Stew, meatloaf, Caesar dressing, spaghetti sauce are all good options
If you cut your green onions and place the bottoms in water they will grow back for you to cut again. You then can plant in soil inside and have fresh green onions we have gotten about four clippings so far
I love the splash of green in your kitchen window
Please can you show us the finished or finishing the refresh of your seed room? You inspired me so much with that project. ( you always inspire me but especially with that one! )
It will be out after the Valentines day candies and cookies comes out :)

The plant you purchased is a Monstera Deliciosa. They are one of my favorites! Want to let you know they grow very large. In optimal conditions, it will only take a few years to be 3-4 feet wide and 4-5 feet tall. They are vining plants so it will need a heavy duty and tall support system. Make sure to only secure the main stem to any supports. Don’t tie up the leaf steams (petioles) as they will move throughout the day. Also, as the plant matures, the leaves will naturally fenestrate (split). They are so gorgeous. When you repot, only choose a pot about 1” diameter larger than the current pot and use a very well-draining soil with tons of orchid bark. You can google ‘Monstera soil mixture’ and get tons of great recommendations. These plants love indirect sunlight but can burn in direct sunlight if not properly acclimated. Your sun room would be a great location once it outgrows the kitchen window.
oh wow thanks so much! The silly little plant has already brought me so much joy it's silly :)
That must be it's name then.. Silly Monstera. Sounds like "Silly Monster"
Have you finished your seed room? I sure would love to see it! 😊
Becky , When will we get to see the finished grow room?? I hope you videotaped the second half of the process with your dad helping you 🖼🖌
Good video. Thank you. Blessings
Oh my goodness you are going to LOVE the shishito peppers! I can’t wait to get them from my CSA again this year!
I’m going to look for that tart cherry juice. Could use some natural sleep assistance.
I usually have a cilantro "tree" in my fridge. If you place the bunch in a glass jar and treat them like fresh flowers. Reince them well and cut the stems nicely, put in water in a jar and put in the fridge, it lasts up to a month. If it’s getting old, change the water and resnip the ends
😮! Thanks for the tip! 😘
Thank you for the tip. I don't use it that much, so using it for several days in a row is very highly unlikely. I tried it on my counter a while back due to lack of fridge space; it didn't work, it dried up.
Id love to see the finish of painting. Love your videos. Ive just recently discovered you
I'm so looking forward to watching more of your vlogs! Found you via algorithm just yesterday and I'm a huge fan already!
Also looking forward to seeing what Valentine's Day fun you cook up. Valentine's Day just so happens to be my birthday and as a result, I'm a big fan of the day 🥰
At Christmas, the host made an amazing Miso carrot side that had the gochujang paste in it. So good!
My mom used to grow sweet potatoes n also when they root they make beautiful house plants
When I was a kid, almost everybody had a jar with a sweet potato in it on top of their fridge. That sweet potato vine would grow like crazy! This wasn't for gardening, just for enjoyment.
Would Like to see the finished seed room
If you are in Leavenworth in the spring during black-eyed Susans, season head out towards the Peshatin which is nearby (it’s just a direction really, i’m not sure that there are any remnants of the town left. )and look at the hills because they are filled with black-eyed Susans in the spring and it’s so pretty . The whole area is already gorgeous in the spring but ir just makes me happy remembering it - I haven’t been there(during black-eyed Susan season) for over a decade. I hope this spring to go back and visit. My favorite auntie and uncle live up there and it’s always fun to see them.
I think your menu and your family tradition planning is wonderful and I hope you have a great time planning and preparing and enjoying the day with your family .
Yayayay! 😊 I just caught up and watched your shopping!!! Love love love your vids! Thank you for sharing all you do! Blessings on you and your family! ❤
Thank you! You too!
So excited to begin this year’s garden journey along side you! ❤
Yay! Thank you! I can't wait for this year as well!
Rose red homestead has a great vlog making sundried tomatoes
I have never put avocados in the fridge! I always thought that fruit doesn’t belong in the fridge because it will never ripen. I am so glad you brought this lil hint on avocados! Thanks, Becky! 🤗
Hi Becky, I don't know if you will reed this, but you will be able to keep your 🥑 fresh longer if you put them in a glas container filled with water en lid in your fridge. Can't what for all the gardening!
Rose red homestead makes a wonderful sun dried tomato. I've been making it for the past two years. She goes through step by step so you can't go wrong. Hope you give it a try ❤❤❤❤
Yay. Let’s see what all we get to look forward to. Love ya Becky ❤❤❤
I placed my Sweet Potatoes in a shallow container and covered them between 1/2 & 3/4 of the way with soil. The same day I also placed 3 in a jar of water just as Becky did. One of the jars began to rot and I tossed it out. One of the potatoes in soil dried out quicker than the others and I didn't notice, so it too went bad. I was beginning to wonder if I would ever get any slips as weeks were going by, but I did. The Potatoes in the soil began to grow more and more slips. The vines on a few were so long that I cut them off and placed them in water to root out, and they did. Only one potato in the jars eventually grew a single slip weeks after the soil ones. As long as I kept the soil moist and not too wet they grew many slips. By the time I could plant outside I had slips from the Potatoes and the vines I rooted out to have a good harvest. Whenever I harvest them I now save and root out portions of the vines for more slips.
Love it so much what you do. 😊💕
Thank you! 😊
