Just paid my half year property taxes, I really need this time with Becky to cheer me up….. lol.
Oh Gosh, I hope it helps!
That's amazing! Way to go you! It could be worse, you could be struggling and not have the $ to pay them. I know that chunk hurts though lol
No kidding…it’s ridiculous isn’t it? ( the taxes of course😳🙁)
I thought property taxes were already added in to the mortgage of the home slash property for the residual of the home
@@andreamorrison8419only if you choose to add them😊
Becky is so faithful and consistent with her videos, lets all bless her socks off and get her up to 1 million subscribers!!!
I love to see the dogs subtly living their best doggie life in the background of the videos!
I would love to see them chase that tennis ball thrown in the yard.
Yes they must know where the good stuff comes from..when I'm cooking my 2 dogs like being there waiting their turn. They only eat meat from my kitchen.
Lucky babies!@@claudiafarley2501
😍My son was visiting. He came over this morning after work ( he works nights) to cook dinner and keep me company as I recuperate from pneumonia. We chatted, watched you Becky and plotted our next cooking extravaganza....garlic pucks, carnalized onions and yes..pasties. Thank YOU for being YOU and making our day better.
The Pasty was put into the miners jacket pocket to warm him up on the way too work. And they originated in Cornwall in England as a good hot meal cheaply done for the family. 💐
We know it as Cornish pies/pasty. The crimped edge was there for the coal miners to hold the pasty so that the rest of the pies/pasty stay clean when they are eaten.
The miners in the upper peninsula of Michigan also carried pasties. It's a UP staple, and it's hard to get good ones anymore unless you make your own. We have a church youth group locally that make them twice a year for a fundraiser. They use a recipe from one of the old restaurants in the UP. They use a lard crust with ground chuck, potatoes, carrots, onion, and rutabaga. They are sooo good! I can support a good cause and get enough to fill the freezer for our needs
@@kathrynriggs2489 I got my recipe for them from a newspaper article that called them Bootjack Pasties (or something like that); same thing you listed as ingredients...although some of the people I made them for asked that I didn't add rutabaga because it gave them heartburn.
As a Canadian with British roots I know these well. Those miners settled in the Michigan area hence the American connection.
@pmbramucci1056 People have asked the youth group leaders to customize the recipe for them, but they spend almost 2 days preparing and baking, so they can't- I know they make almost 1000 with every fundraiser. I don't think I've ever noticed heartburn with Rutabaga, but we're all different, and I usually don't eat it unless it's in a pasty. I do like it, but to serve it as a side I would get the stink eye from some of the picky family members. Another good one is homemade perogi. My sister taught me to make those.
That veggie chopper changed my life hahaha. The best kitchen tool!
I love Becky! She's teaching this 64 year old how to make new things! She is such a sweetheart.
Hi I've been making Cornish pasties for years nothing better on a cold day. Traditionally, Cornish pasties were made with different fillings at each end. One end containing meat and vegetables, and one end with a sweet filling. The sweet end would be marked with an initial so the miners knew what side to eat first. It was also known that had the man been a bad boy his wife would pay him back via the pasty and there would be no sweet side. So everyone knew he was a bad boy.
Today, Cornish pasties are filled with steak, potatoes, swede and onions. My grandfather was a miner all of his working life and my nan made the best pasties ever they were so good that the men my grandfather worked with asked her to make theirs and she made quite a bit of money. My nan could cook anything and the crazy part of that is she didn't have a stove her ovens were built into the sides of her huge fire place which also had a handle that could be swung into the middle and a huge pot hung from it. I can still smell the stews and cakes and puddings she used to make, she and my mom taught me everything I know.
I have a mandolin also and what I usually do is dice up and freeze a combination of vegetables. I usually make casserole bags or stir fry veg also summer vegetable roasts. I usually combine carrot suede and squash together or potatoes carrots and swede, they freeze wonderful and as they're smaller they lay flat. What ever they have in the freezers in the shops we can have our own and know what exactly is going into those bags.
I saw a programme about the sweet/savoury in one pasties. Think the called them, "clangers". May have been different part of the country as they were rectangular rather than moon shaped. Very interesting history.
What would they use in the sweet side, I only ever knew about the savoury which I make with steak potatoes onions swede, but would like to try and make sweet ones
@@kimmcvitty3580 They are Bedfordshire Clangers.
@@staceyrusson7587 either apple or blackberries or both because blackberries grow wild here and we all still go berry picking. I've also used apricots and strawberries and raspberries.
@@staceyrusson7587What is swede?
It's 3:30 over here on the east coast. It felt so good to clock out of work, grab an iced coffee, come home and crawl into the blankets and put on this video. TGIF my friends!! Becky, thank you for always being here to give us some great ideas!!
Becky is the calm of this winter storm!❤
I wish I had just the energy Becky has in one hand! I watch and feel like I "might" could do that. Then get into it and halfway through think "whew! How does she do so much???"
Because she is very young and fit, whereas just making a batch of pies takes me hours, because I'm very old and unfit, 75 and still battling on with my home cooking. I do make more concessions to ready made stuff these days, but not many.
I absolutely agree with that!!! I guess bc she’s younger than us 🤷🏻♀️😂
You say thank you for being you but we thank you for being you. Itis so relaxing to watch you cook and bake. You have the best ideas. I have taken the time to cook and do freezer meals with you. It seems like it takes a lot of time from your day so thank you. You are fun. We need people like you in this world.
I adore your channel. I don’t have a homestead but I love to cook. You are so full of joy, sweet, and relatable! I love how you include your bloopers and mistakes (we all make them, so you are more real & genuine for this). Whenever I want to be inspired or want to feel happy, I watch your videos!
I noticed that since i started watching your videos. Especially the last ones. That i keep my kitchen cleaner and my whole house more organized 😂😂😂 thank you Becky ❤
I’m so impressed with your culinary talent! You’ve taught me to shop in my pantry so nothing goes to waste! 😊
I'm so glad! Thanks so much for watching!
Those dicers are handy to have! I don't use mine often, but when I do it's very convenient.
I need to get to this level of meal prepping. I really wish I was Becky's neighbor. I'd love to sit and sip coffee while all this food is being prepared. ❤❤❤
I really enjoy watching your channel. I especially love that you don't play music with speeding up the videos. Some you tubers are doing that now and it has become nerve racking at times. Thank you!
I LOVE my chopper. I use it all the time for onion, potatoes, carrot, celery and making pico de gallo. Everything looks so nice and tidy and it speeds up the process immeasurably!
My goodness Becky, you’re closing in on 600K subscribers! Well deserved. ❤🎉
Anyone else already thinking about seeds and getting them started? Can’t wait for working on that alongside Becky and an update on the chickens!
I love my chopper for onions!! Then I freeze in small bags!
I've made two of your freezer breakfast meals - the wraps and egg
:"MC"muffins. I made 20 wraps and 18 muffins. I can't keep them in the freezer!! Even my 5 yt old grandson is eating them in the middle of the night - cold. Thanks for making things easy!!
That is awesome!
I would 100% watch a TV show of Becky and her freezer recipes.
I’m glad you found the chopper. I’ve been using one for years. Always wondered why you didn’t use one in the past.👍
I just got the same one for Christmas! Pre-sliced all my carrots and onions to the grid width and got lovely little identical cubes for my soup. Pretty and tasty!
I only cook for two and I use mine, when I don’t forget🥴🤣
Love my chopper as well as the mandolin slicer. (Use the safety glove with the slicer) It makes things cook evenly. I chop veggies for salads. 💙
I've used the Vidalia chopper for years and swear by it. Such s time saver.
I think you'd be proud, Becky. I ordered a FoodSaver today to add to my water bath canner! I'm one step closer to channeling my inner homesteader!
Your life will be forever changed! I love ❤️ my Food Saver. You can use it for so much more than food!
I have made pasties like five times since the last time you've made them. Glad I watched that video. We really love them. Last time I made them half the size.
Love this. She said “my whole entire family loved them”! Da happy for your growing family. You’re doing a great job!
I've now started a thing where I put you on in the background while I work on my own project. It's very 1950s housewife-listening-to-Julia-Child and very soothing! Speaking of rutabaga, I am now a rutabaga apostle. I grew them for the first time this year and they are just such and incredible staple / subsistence crop. I had to pull the remaining half of mine out of the ground before it froze and spent half the day processing them into useful forms. You get so much really tasty food for so little effort! just a lot of water....they are water hogs.
I haven’t ever had them, but another commenter said they give some people heartburn.
Here in Scotland we use rutabagas ( we call them turnip and English people call them swede) in lots of recipes.
To make life easier on myself l use knive stab tunip/ rutabagas l put it in microwave for couple minutes make easier on my self can peel them one hand so disabled l was told called singing hinie then when it colded a it l can peel it easier then chop it with my chopped machine
Becky, every day I sit and watch you hand chop onions, I think, "Get a little chopper, you'll love it!" That is actually the new one that I bought last year. I was so excited when you pulled that out and just knew you would be so impressed if you gave it a chance. Next time you want to make a little salad with peppers, onions, tomatoes, etc. you will be thrilled with the uniformity of the chopped veggies. YAY! I'm excited to see that you have one and you're using it.

@@Birdsong-Annalee I don't see it.
I sent that one to her because I too thought if anyone could benefit from an easy way to process large quantities of produce, it’s Becky! I can’t wait til she uses it to make cowboy candy next time!! It’s a GAME CHANGER!! 😊
You are freaking adorable. My daughter led me to your channel. I see why she loves your work. Watching you work reminds me of when I worked in catering. You sure don't mind making a mess. Hahaha
I only say that because I was the one in charge of cleaning the kitchen at the end of the day. Your great and I am hooked.
I felt like cooking today and I decided Pasties was it! I used your recipe and during a small break while they were baking...I turned on TH-cam and there you are making Pasties as well...only with sweet potatoes! You are such a treasure! These Pasties are amazing! Next, pizza pockets! ❤❤
Becky, you are such a high quality and delightful person. I thoroughly enjoy sharing you journey.
Something I just learned and it may be something you've always known, but don't store onions near your potatoes. The gasses from the onion make your potatoes spoil faster. Love your video as always!
Becky I love watching you in your kitchen. I also saw you at the Holler Homestead helping with the pig butchering. Made my heart sing, esp when I see other homesteaders supporting each other. I love you girl
I saw her too!!!!
As a fellow cook on TH-cam, I love Becky’s videos and energy. Great tips to learn from. 💞
Awesome! Thank you!
She has a ton of energy. Love her.
@@kat517 Me too!
I am a recent convert. I binge watched most of your videos during our -31 degree cold snap. I'm an old seasoned cook but always looking for ways to improve and I have found many of them watching you. Thank you for sharing.
Love your videos. Where is your little boy when you do you're filming. Never hear any noise from him
Nice editing Becky! You have come so far from the beginning, and I so appreciate your ideas and videos.
Your freezer meal videos are my absolute FAVORITE! Thank you for working so hard to give us videos-- it is so inspiring! Love hanging out with you in your kitchen :)
Hello, Becky. Just to let you know something my daughter-In-Law taught me, if you put a spoon in the bowl with the potatoes it will really keep the potatoes totally from turning brown. I don't know the science behind it, but it works. I keep you and your beautiful family in prayers.
A spoon? in the water? On top of whole potatoes? A wooden spoon? A silver spoon? Im so confused lol
@@stak536 , you put the potatoes in water with a stainless steel spoon. Like I said I don't know the science, but it works.
Becky, I found you not too long ago. You have become my favorite TH-camr. I love your recipes, how hard you work and your dedication to making food from scratch! You inspire me to try new ingredients, too.
Becky you're the very best multi tasker I've ever seen! 😊
Fantastic visit with you while you accomplished so much! Thanks for sharing! You are great at time management, too! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
Becky, you've a amazing Daughter, wife and mother. I've learned so much from you. Love your gardens
About the garden... I love the design of her garden so much that my husband has agreed to build my garden out like Becky's. Mine is not as large (it is only 24' X 40'), but it will have 10 raised beds that will be 4' X 8' and 24" tall. He has already bought the wood and has it stored in the garage until spring. 🤩 I am so excited! 🥳💖
Becky you inspire me to stay busy instead of doing the fun lazy thing ❤😂
I sure hope Josh appreciates you. Not every woman this day and time would go to all the lengths that you do to provide great meals for your family. I have to include me as I just don't have the energy to do all you do and I truly wish I did but no. But I do enjoy watching you do all you do. You are truly an amazing young woman. If it is more than 5 ingredients I don't have the energy for it.
My hubs got one of those choppers for his birthday. I love it. I chopped 15 lbs of potatoes, 5 lbs of onions and six large green peppers to make quart bags of mix for breakfast or sheet pan meals. I used the bigger dice. Blanched my potatoes for a bit and froze on a pan before putting in bag. Love it!
Becky, my family thanks you! We vacation every other if not every year in the UP and love pasties! I’ve been wanting to make to make them for years. Yay! Thanks so much. Love your channel 🥰
Following what I’ve learned from you I made a ham and potato soup in less than half an hour. Frozen potatoes, celery, carrots, onion and ham. Great on a co,d snowy day when I’m sick
I wash my parchment paper and dry them in my oven. Dawn dish soap is great to get the butter or oil off. I also hang them up on my laundry line in my basement.
I just started watching your videos a couple days ago. I don't know how I found you. Your video was just there and I saw the title... something like 22 dinners freeze make ahead. Im sorry I cannot remember but it sold me instantly! First off, you have a very soothing voice to listen to and a great smile. I couldn't believe that this whole time I have not been dicing and freezing all my onions and bell peppers for future use. Im 54 and I've been cooking since I was about 7 years old. My mom was a single mother and I learned how to make instant mashed potatoes very young, lol. But I love to cook and bake as much ad I can and when my body isn't too bad. Ive had Fibromyalgia for almost 16 years. I always seem to forget to take meat out to thaw the night before and I'm stuck cooking frozen chicken strips or frozen pizza for my big kids. They don't mind but I prefer to cook a really good dinner. I love to hear them tell me how good dinner was. I cook a lot of different recipes. There are maybe a few that we have regularly but I like to try new recipes all the time. I am in love with the way you show your followers how to cook and freeze practically everything. The recipes look mouth watering. I can't wait to get started on, hopefully, being able to be more prepared for dinners. I definitely an going to do your recipes of the buffalo chicken wraps and the big taquitos. My kids are older..20, 18 and 16, and they would love to be able to just pop one of those wraps in the air fryer and there's a new delicious lunch and not the same ol boring sandwiches. Id like to learn to do canning of jams and jellies and Marmalade and sauces, etc. Im a little scared of it though. Well I'm talking a lot and I just want to say, you are so adorable and a pleasure to watch and learn new ways to do things in the kitchen. I always say... You learn something new every day. Btw, do you ever do any live videos? I guess you wouldn't be able to be as efficient in your kitchen if you had to keep looking at the computer screen. Maybe you could do a Q and A sometime with your followers. We could ask questions and you could give us advice or answer our questions. Just an idea. I look forward to watching many many more of your past and recent videos.
Great job, Becky. You kept me company while I worked. Have a wonderful and enjoyable weekend folks!❤❤❤
I’ve really enjoyed watching all your 2024 challenges and can’t wait for more videos to come!
I seriously don’t know how you do so much! I legit am exhausted even watching all the things you do. 😂 I wish I didn’t have back problems stopping a lot of moving because you inspire me to do so much. I am starting my very 1st garden this year and plan to can the goods. My town is even hosting a canning class for a month in a local farm and I will be attending my sister. I never in my life thought this was something I would ever do. Then 2 years ago I started watching your channel. Now I want to eat better, garden, can, etc…Thank you for just being you Becky.
Good chiropractor can solve half chronic back problems.
@@usa2342 way past that, I’ve already had a back surgery.
If anyone needs inspiration for pasty filling... Cornish Pasty Co in AZ has a whole menu. Pork and Apple... Cajun Chicken, Chicken Vindaloo, Reuben... lots of veg options...! Some traditional flavors you expect and lots you wouldn't. :)
I moved back to Ohio a few years ago and regularly think about that place. Watching you make these is inspiring me to try my hand at making them myself!!
I bought my first and only ever rutabaga after watching you make these last year. I also bought lard, but have yet to make the pasties. I am doing the pantry challenge also and think I have almost all of the ingredients, and some time, so I might actually try making these this time. Thank you for showing me that it is not as hard as I think it will be to make something yummy and new for my family!
Strongly encourage making the pasties. You'll love them (most likely).
Isn’t Becky so inspiring? She has such a can-do attitude! It helps me with my apprehension as well.
They all looked delicious. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with us. Give your furbabies some love from a retired veterinarian technician. Sending blessings to you and your family.
Becky, thank you for your amazing ideas!
Dear Becky , I love watching your blogs and seeing all your beautiful cooked foods , I don't know if you watch other channels but I think you will love this family at Country life vlog their life is truly beautiful and they have chickens etc , I watch you from Warfield Berkshire England and I'm going to try your bread recipe as it is amazing .please keep filming and I can't wait to see you planting your seeds ❤ take care and blessed be
Hi Becky you inspire me so much to use up what I already have in my fridge/freezer/pantry 😊. I enjoy watching your creative recipes . You are a real treasure for us and your family ❤.
Becky, your an inspiration. Since watching your videos i have came out of my comfort zone. I have try some of your marinate meals. My husband and I love them. Im going to start doing freezer meals. Thank you so much. Keep doing those meals to share.
I’m so glad you’re using the chopper. I have a similar one and except for wash up afterwards, it is so quick!
Oh, that dicer has been on my wishlist for several years now! Happy to have your approval about it, I never trust the commercials. I love the taquitos, it is a fantastic way to use up leftovers from different sorts of meat and veggies. Sometimes I could eat the same sort of meat for 3-4 days if my hubby had to go working away and that is kind of boring. Now I put it in the freeser and when having enought for 10-20 taquitos I have a day making them with different meat/veggies and seasoning them with different spices and put everything into the freezer again, having a quick snack when needed.
I just got one of those choppers for Christmas. I love it. It’s great for chopping onions, bell pepper, and celery, too.
❤ Becky, you and your videos are just so inspiring! THANK YOU for all you put into this content, in front of the camera and behind. I so so appreciate your authentic self, outstanding real teaching, and always inspiring practical content. ❤
Becky - I have that same exact chopper and love it. Helpful hint. On the Green Circle place one hand over it and then the other hand over your first hand and press down hard with both and it cuts like butter. you don't want to slam your fist on the green dot. LOVE watching your videos. Bless you and your family. Really enjoy your vids with your mother.
I live in Australia, and your video popped up just as I woke up. How wonderful to start my day. 😊
Hi Becky, with the water you put in the pan to soak the pot, don't throw it away. You can mix it into your son's vegetables for extra flavour and goodness, you can also put it into orbit and turbo's bowels for a bit of warming broth, they will love it.
Yes I seen you on the Holler Homestead as well learning how to butcher a pig I guess ,you are amazing on the things you do for your age I just love your energy 🙏
Definitely want to try these. I have a challenge of not much freezer space so it will be small batches one at a time.
I was thinking for those that are trying to help feed their neighbors this time of year when it’s very cold, and there are different kinds of ministries or projects going on to help feed each other that these would probably be very helpful because they would be hearty and easy to share . You know more filling and warm than a bologna sandwich or something. Easy to share.
I really appreciate you telling us when we've made things/rendered together 💕 thank you for always giving me motivation to meal prep and get it all done!
It may not be that the onions did not cure well, different varieties keep and certain ones, not as much. So, for the ones you want to store, be sure to buy "keeper" varieties for starts. :) Also, when the chickens start to lay again, remember you can freeze dry eggs. Great for cooking, omelets or even scrambled eggs. When I gave out samples in my store for freeze dried products, I made omelets for people. Freeze dried eggs, sausage, onions, peppers and cheese. All freeze dried! Go for it!!! Delicious. Your pizza pockets look amazing! And the pasties....oh my gosh! Have to make these!!! One of my favorite vids you have done!!! :)
Hi, I recently started watching your channel which I find so informative and therapeutic. Thank you!
I use the same chopper for canning. Love it for onions, Celery, tomatoes. Everything
I love this! I needed some inspiration for freezer meals - thank you ☺️
hello , i truly enjoy how genuine and sweet you are Becky . you inspire me everyday. Please continue the good work. love being a part of your day .
Becky these all look amazing. I’m going to make those pasties for sure. I remember the first time you made them back at the old house. They are all the same size this time and look absolutely beautiful. Your are a great example of practice makes perfect. Thank you for all you share.
Thanks for sharing with us. You're so easy going and I'm getting lots of great ideas!!
I love watching your videos Becky! You can use the food processor attachment for your kitchenaid to dice as well.
Love my chopper too. You inspire me to try to make pasties. My husbands family were pros and oh my were they yummy. They have all passed and now it’s up to our generation to keep it going. Your pizza pockets looked amazing. Kinda reminded me of a calzone. Thank you Becky for being you!!
Thanks again Becky. I’m going to ask my grand daughter if she wants to take these back to college. You have really saved us on our budget. ❤❤
I love the Vidalia chopper, it even has a measuring guide on the side of the base.
Watching you cut the vegetables with the chopper gently- then-smashing the chopper with your fist- made me smile. We always try to make things look simple as you go & sometimes a person just has to “get it done”. Thank you for your interesting recipes. We’re a meat & potatoes household needing a new direction for brightening a winter 🥶 diet.
I have been making pockets for years. I make sloppy joe ones. They are my favorite. I use my silicone bags for freezing my garlic pucks and chopped onions. Mine never smell. I use them for my meats too. I have been recycling for over 3o years and I just can't use all the disposable stuff. I love the silicone bags.
You've intrigued me with the sloppy joes pockets. I'm gonna have to try that soon.
Becky, you've made this snow day enjoyable. I'm going to use your dough recipe to make pepperoni rolls and pizza rolls to freeze. I'm hoping the pepperoni rolls freeze well because they're a family favorite and it'll be nice to have them on hand instead of telling my family they need to wait until the weekend when I have time.
Those bready pizza pockets remind me of the stromboli I used to get from a bakery in Boston - so good! They'd make a loaf with scrambled eggs and other breakfast toppings, then sell it by the two inch slice.
I'm so excited!!!! We just rendered our first ever lard!!! I'm drooling over the sweet potato ones. For the first time in a while, our family of 7 has the ingredients for something we want to try to make, so I will be making these probably tomorrow!!!!
Rutabaga add such a wonderful taste to anything that you use meat and potatoes and carrots. It adds a hearty almost sweet type favor and I would advise you to not skip it. Rutabaga are very inexpensive and will last a whole winter if you treat it properly. If not use parsnips. If you can grow carrots parsnips are simular, but once you try rutabagas, you'll never want to miss it again.
I think we call them Swedes in New Zealand. Wonderful in vegetable soup, or mashed with parsnips and carrots. I like to eat them raw too.
Hi, sweet Becky! You multitask so well! ❤
I love Becky's videos a lot, because I get so much different meals ideas❤ thanks so much Becky you makes my life so much easier👍
Oh ....it all looks SOOO good. I can almost smell them. Yum. Thanks Becky for sharing with us and thank your Mother-in-Law for sharing recipe!
Hello Becky and Friends ❤
Thanks for the hot water crust recipe for pasties. For me, growing up in the UP of Mich, rutabaga is an essential flavor component of pasties. Anything else is a hand pie. However, there may be a controversial argument about gravy or ketchup on your pastie. LOL I love my chopper and use it frequently! Great episode, Becky!
I grew up in the UP and always used rutabaga in ours tooo
The fancy folk use gravy and us commoners use ketchup. 😏
I have that same chopper. Love it. Canned carrots for my Granddaughter from her garden, so beautiful. I have used it in so many applications. A wonderful time saver
WOW! So much work involved in these pasties! They look incredibly delicious! I am constantly amazed at your talents Becky! From gardening to baking to cooking delicious recipes to organizing etc etc etc. You do it all and so well. Thank you for being here. You are an absolute joy and blessing to watch! 😊
Many blessings...
Wow girl, you are so amazing! I meant to tell you I was watching MANDY IN THE MAKING video last year and she was using a chopper like you pulled out and used today in this video. I bought one and absolutely love it. I chop up my onions & potatoes on it all the time. Celery, carrots, potatoes and more is so easy to chop on those. Glad you pulled your out to use it.
Mandy and her husband are amazing!
Becky sure know how to help ! She always make us smile as well she is glowing theses days ❤
I have had a similar chopper for several years now and it was life changing for me. Pico is wonderful!!
It works for you, Becky but when it comes to cleaning up a pan like the one you cooked the sausage in, I just put a bit of water and a drop or two of Dawn and then use a steel wool pad to clean it. It is no trouble at all. The steel pad I clean in the dishwasher. Works great.
