We may not see much of Josh but we know how supportive he is of you, what a blessing. Stuffed chicken breasts are amazing. Wrapping the breasts in bacon helps keep all the stuff inside the chicken.
I have a recipe that uses onions and a wine sauce, as cheese and stuff the chicken breast. It’s amazing; but a lengthy process. I only make it for special occasions.
Thanks for the fun grocery/decor/comfy clothes haul! That is such a great price for a warm coat; I wish we could get deals like that here in Canada! That meal looks so scrumptious! Many blessings to your family 🤗💕🇨🇦
Now my husband asks me if “our” Becky posted a video. We save it until both of us can watch together. He was in the hospital for 3 months, so he started watching as a captive audience when he finally came home. He now appreciates my efforts with canning and cooking. Thanks sweetie. I hope you liked the box of Jaws cleaners I sent to your PO Box before you moved. We love them. You can be an affiliate too.
Ms. Becky, I keep forgetting to tell u how adorable u are when u say, "we" made something "together", or "we" went shopping "together". U make me feel like I actually participated with u, like good friends would do!! U have such a sweet personality, u'r bubbly, content, seem at peace and that, in turn, feels like we were actually sitting with u in ur kitchen making good, homegrown food to feed our people!! Please promise to never change the way u are, trust me, we love u exactly as u are, no pretences, no attitude of being better than others, just very humble and grateful for all u have!! I can't wait to see u and Josh become parents, it's the best and toughest experience u'll go through in life and every second is so worth it!! Remember to be gentle with urself, if u just don't have it in u to put out new videos every other day, we will understand!! If some followers complain about it, my motto is, "keep scrolling and don't let the door hit u in the butt"!! I really am a nice person, but at my age, (60), I have less time or patience for snarky people. It just isn't necessary, wisdom and older age has helped me to that realization!! Kindness costs nothing and actually lifts, not only ur spirit, but others as well!! Thank u for sharing ur beautiful life with us, it makes this granny so happy to see u!! Happy Holidays to u and urs from me and mine in Alaska!!💖💖👩🦳💖💖
Once you have the baby, the coat will fit you fine! Do not think you will be as big once you give birth! You will begin to compress back and that coat will be great till you get back to your normal size. Great price and you will enjoy it.
You posted several videos where you put your fresh produce in a refrigerator for extended periods before preserving. Not height of freshness. Same thing as buying aged off the shelf produce from Costco.
You´re right there Jill BUT...is B always doing that...every year? This year she´s moving from her old house, renovating the new one, have a time limit to harvest everything in her old garden and is soon to be delivering a little baby. Sometimes life set obstacles and we have to change habits and allocate priority to what our circumstances are, in this case time, energy and in the end; health.
Becky, you mentioned in your shopping videos that your mushrooms don't always get used up in time. Why don't you freeze dry them so you'll always have some on hand and they won't go bad😊
Becky, just recently found your channel and I love it. I’m 70 yes old and I love to see the younger generation keep doing food preservation. Here’s a tip from my years of experience for you cast iron when you have stuck on mess. Just put water in the pan put it back on the stove and bring back up to a boil, it makes everything just come up from the bottom very easy.
do you have any advice for a rusted cast iron? i have a beautiful cast iron frying pan that i believe a roommate put soap on… I’ve been holding onto it hoping i can save it
@@cassandramichellecoaching steel wool and elbow grease. Wash well, dry well. After, a small amount of olive oil spread on the interior of the pan. Put in a hot oven for an hour. Repeat (without steal wool or washing) a few times to get it seasoned again.
@@cassandramichellecoaching Robert's Bushcraft has a way to do it without a lot of work, mostly Apple cider vinegar and soaking. I have a lot I have to do to.
The produce from the grocery store is a lot fresher than I thought. They work very hard to get the produce to us very quickly. It really is a blessing that we can buy such fresh produce at the grocery store.
Yes, I was thinking this as well. 10 days from packaging is sometimes fresher than homesteading/growing it ourselves because it gets picked from the garden and stored and some of it goes bad in the fridge on on the shelf or it is stored for weeks and months before using, so what a blessing to get it so early.
@@gardengirl50t30 I think that was likely Becky mis reading the pack…. I think maybe Becky was tired ( or I know in my case as soon as I got pregnant my brain turned to mush and I constantly made mistakes on things ..lol.)
I wish I was there to show you an easy way to clean your cast iron skillet. I saw this on TH-cam but I have forgotten the channel. Here goes: scrape as much off the pan as you can, sit your pan in the sink, pour boiling water over it (no soap in iron skillets). Let it sit there a minute and use a plastic or wooden scrapper on the bottom and sides. I put my William Sonoma rubber gloves on for that part because the water was boiling. Rinse, dry and put a tiny bit of olive oil on a paper towel and rub the oil all over the inside of the skillet. Turn the paper towel over and dry it as if you’re rubbing off the oil. Your skillet will look so nice. Your skillets look nice any way Becky. Tell us how you clean yours. FYI. A few times I’ve used a plastic pancake turner that has a straight edge but mostly I use a scraper. I love your channel. Josh is a lucky husband to have you cooking for him.
Quick tip, make up your filling for the chicken breasts and freeze solid. The frozen filling will melt more slowly and leak less. Our favorite is cream cheese, caramelized onion and bacon bits for filling.
I cleaned my house from top to bottom, got my new washer/dryer installed, prepped for my Chemo week, packed for my road trip for Thanksgiving after Chemo, meal prepping for Chemo with your meatball recipe & prepped my raised beds all while on "that time" of the month, no thyroid or med's & I'm running out of energy which unfortunately is a side effect including headaches so I am watching this video & your recent on back/back & taking a couple of lazy days to recover so this is perfect. Thank you for sharing. Chemo starts Tuesday so I will be a first viewer this next week unless nausea ensues. Wish me luck!
Hi Becky. Always love your videos! Just a tip that when stuffing chicken breast it’s easier to cut a pocket from the fatter side than the thin. I usually use a toothpick to tuck and close the pocket so I don’t lose so much filling when I cook them and it melts. Then pull out the toothpick after cooking. I learn so much from you so I thought maybe that would be helpful to you. Thank you for all your content. Have a great week!
Omg I went to Sam's today and for 200.00 . I got two cases of organic corn, green beans for pantry. But I got 20 pounds of awesome cheese on sale, asiage and parm, pepper jack, smoked Gouda, extra sharp cheddar, Colby jack, provolone, baby swiss and 3 pound string cheese, 4 lb garlic fresh, 5 lb sweet potato, 10 pound Yukon gold, 4 lb fresh brussel sprouts, 2 huge ketchup, 3 huge mayo, 48 ounce roasted red pepper hummus, huge chicken thighs, 7 lb brown sugar for 4.00 cheaper than making my own, 2 pints fresh raspberries 2.73. unbelievable. I feel so blessed. I'm my regular grocery this would have been 400.00. so thankful
I thought for sure there was a mistake on the prices .. there was more but I'm tired and can't remember. Good block organic cheese , use by date is March through April year. But I'll freeze some so. . So thankful
I love how willing he is to try your new creative ways of cooking. I hope one day to find someone like that for me. Keep up the good work, you inspire a lot of people. I’m so excited because today my Presto electric canner will be here! My first project is going to be chicken bone broth 😊
My father and I are sitting here watching you and eating the Cranberry salsa it's a staple now! Absolutely love it and my family now requests it! They all say thank you Becky!! We love watching you and I made your beef stroganoff yesterday and it was so good!!
We love cilantro and I use it in almost every meal. I buy cilantro in bulk and it will keep in my frig for about 6 weeks. Wash thoroughly , trim the roots and lay on paper towels to dry. Dry well, then sandwich half of the cilantro bundle between paper towels and place flatly in a gallon bag. Continue until all cilantro is preserved in bags . Place in vegetable bin and enjoy.
I watch your videos in my living room on a big TV and everytime my four month old daughter sees you she smiles really big haha I'm like you like Becky more than me! We enjoy your videos. Also thanks to you my fiance actually likes some of my meals now thanks to your scratch pantry
I never machine dry my cloth napkins. They always come out not square anymore. I take them out of the washer and stretch them by hand so they’re square and pretty much not wrinkled. Then just lay them over the back of dinning chairs to dry. I love using cloth napkins. Hopefully it makes my guests feel special. I know you’ll have fun decorating your table. Fun haul.
You are so sweet, Becky, I can't wait to see how you decorate for the holidays. Everyone is going to love your holiday dinner and apprecate special touches that makes them feel warm and cozy inside.
Good afternoon! Your decorations shopping for Thanksgiving inspired me to host a Friendsgiving and go shopping for cute decor. Hope you are having an amazing day! ❤
When we clean our herbs we just fill the sink and gently wash them/ swish them around. If you run the cold water while pouring the cooking water, it really helps prevent steam burns. Much safer for you.
That was so fun. Your table scape is going to be very nice. I'm inspired to try making stuffed chicken breast now too. My tip for ease in cleaning cast iron, which I use 90%, is to remove hot food to a Pyrex dish and deglaze the cast iron pan while it's still hot. Sometimes, I use the deglaze liquid, but sometimes I just dump it. Hope that helps 😊
My favorite stuffing for chicken is cream cheese, jalapeño, colby jack cheese, and crispy bacon i also season it with pepper garlic powder and onion powder. Sometimes I wrap it in bacon Sometimes I do seasoned bread crumbs. Then bake in oven at 400 till reaches 165 degrees
Becky I love your videos,because they are as cozy as a big hug with cozy slippers..Your shopping haul is amazing,such bargains.I agree with your table decor and napkins,I would've chosen the same things.I get sad when we run out of cilantro..I love your slippers ,and honey crisp apples are my favorite..I want to try your stuffed chicken breast recipe (I hate it,hubby loves it)..but it just sounds delicious..You look radiant BTW!
You can use bakers twine to tie the stuffed chicken breasts together. That should help keep the stuffing in the meat and not so much in your cast iron pan.
Thank you so much for the haul Becky! I think though, that the only difference between the two of us, is that I wouldn't have had the willpower to either leave things or put things back on the shelf. I'm so bad! My motto is buy now/think about it later lol. Believe me, your way is much better! Costco is my best friend and worst enemy. I love that place!
A suggestion for open sleeves/boxes of crackers you can't use up... Toss them in the food processer and turn them into crumbs. Then freeze and use them for anything you'd use bread crumbs for. (They don't stick together when frozen, btw.)
I actually found a recipe on TikTok for a potato zucchini casserole I improvised and used asiago cheese instead in this recipe and used French fried onions on the top it is amazing and it has fresh oregano in it
On the chargers great for fall, don’t worry about placement, use table runner, and use chargers one on each end runner then a charger on each other spot put napkins down to hold silverware just place plate in center of each, glasses set on table. I could on and on about doing table it’s hard to explain. I even made my own table linens and napkin holders so easy and cheap, just look and there’s so many ideas.
When your cast iron pan gets hard cooked food stuck on it, simply put enough water in your pan and cook it on the stove for a bit. You'll be able to deglaze/ scrape the food right off. No scrubbing necessary! Then clean , dry and give it a wipe with oil.
I am permanently amazed at your energy! Then you mention you used to work 2 jobs (as well as the garden back then too). Wow. I am SO with you on using up what you have that needs used up, I feel bad because I struggled yesterday to get through my chores before and after work, and ended up using a bought in jar of Letscho (tomato and bell pepper vinegar sauce with the peppers left sliced) in my dinner instead of using the last of my tomatoes and peppers that I have in the fridge. Maybe next year I'll make my own and can it like you do with salsa! Thanks for taking us along with you today.
If you cut down into the chicken, and not side cut it. There is a certain way to cut your chicken, so the cheese doesn’t melt out all over your pan. And so that’s why you wrap in chicken after stuffing with cheese it seal’s the cheese. So you don’t end up with a big mess of melted cheese. And it adds an extra dimension to the chicken. It tastes delicious. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🇬🇧
Ooo. Our favorite sweet potato recipe is simple. I roast them whole, take skin off, mash, add salt/pepper, butter, then add some chipotle sauce from the small can to taste. The smokiness and a bit of a kick make this dish very popular. If I have it, I may top with bacon crumbles. Simply delicious.
I love savory sweet potatoes too. I can’t eat them with sugar on them. I make baked sweet potatoes with butter, copper sharp and sour cream, hot pepper too. I also make shepherds pie with half mashed sweet potatoes.i make cheese potato casserole with white and sweet potatoes.🥰
at my Costco they sell a brand of stuffed chicken breasts that have broccoli cheddar ,or ham swiss cheese ,or cranberry brie. They're a little processed, little rolls that are breaded, which I think helps keep the filling in.
I haven't been able to find the cheese ball recipe you used in your chicken. I recently lost my job and want to do what I can to stretch our $. You are such an inspiration Becky!
I make stuff chicken breast all the time, our favourite is homemade kievs because we like heaps of garlic & chilli in it, I also make a seafood (creamy garlic prawns) stuffed chicken breast. All I do is freeze the mixture in logs (about the length & thickness of a finger, make a tunnel in the chicken & stuff the frozen mixture inside, I then usually coat with some homemade breadcrumbs that I've added seasoning to.
Becky - if are worried about the fringe on the green placemats, put them in a laundry bag when you wash them, that should help them not get torn up :) Your videos help me decompress after work. Thanks!
When I was growing up we had cast-iron‘s we used to put water in the pan and boil it. That help loosen up the food it’s like when your deglazing the bottom of the pan
Yum! Thanks for sharing your use of the processor in grating the parmesan cheese. I have used it before for cheddar and other cheeses, but didn’t realize you could do this as well. Thanks again!
Becky, I was pregnant through the winter months. I stayed so hit all the time that I rarely wore a coat, even when it was in the liw 20s. A sweater was just right.
FYI: Becky, Chuck’s has Honey Crisp apples for .99 this week. I bought them last time they had them on sale at this price and I freeze dried #40 lbs for hubby snacks. I am going tomorrow to get another #40 because i just can’t pass up the deal. I will be freeze drying again to put up because my hubby is loving them.
FYI: I forgot to mention that I made FD applesauce for my great nephew with these same apples. He will be starting solids soon, so and I mailed FD applesauce, Bananas and peas to his parents….the nutrition will be so much better than the canned or frozen stuff my kiddos had at that age.
Hi Becky, my grandmother tought me the top of cilantro is for garnish and not to throw out the cilantro stems but to puree it and use it to cook with, the stems are still full of flavor. I love being part of your community and learning with you thank you kindly for sharing God bless you all always.
Your cranberry jalapeno cream cheese mixture would be good stuffed in a chicken breast. You could put a little less sugar in the mixture so it's not as sweet, but I think it would be delicious.
Have you considered sprouting seed for microgreen during th period where your garden isn't producing. Then you can still have fresh greens. Like broccoli, alfalfa, mung beans. I doesn't require a medium to grow in, just a large jar.
I stuff my chicken with cheese and broccoli that is cooked first and than I bread the chicken with milk and seasoned bread crumbs. Bake on parchment paper for easy clean up .
Hi Becky, chefs would kill for the coriander roots and stems. Consider freezing and then mortar to add to soups, curries and Asian style meals. Although you could freeze dry these and grind them into a powder and add these as mentioned.Chickens are getting the best bits. In regards to stuffing for pork chops ...prunes, herbs, garlic, fried bread crumbs in butter makes a great stuffing.
I am still enjoying both snow in my yard AND fresh tomatoes. I had about 50 lbs that were green and they have been ripening in my basement. They are NOT as good as the vine ripened ones but still a LOT better than the grocery store Tomatoes.
Hi Becky, I tried the garlic infused oil and garlic confit. It worked out wonderfully. I made garlic butter with a bit of the confit and it tasted really good. thanks for the idea.
i have just discovered your channel and i find your videos so comforting and wonderful 💜 i am a big fan of batch cooking and you are inspiring me to take it to the next level. so happy to join this cozy corner of the internet!
My aunt used to make the best stuffed pork chops in the world. She used stuffing. I am not sure if she made her own or just used the one from the store though. Maybe you could look into something like that. Thanks for sharing another great video with us, have a great evening.
I saw that you had a new video posted, but made a deal with myself: finish washing the windows and rehanging the clean curtains before watching the video!! 😊
Becky, I absolutely adore your expression when you taste test. So excited to meet your baby. I’m a baby nurse. Thank you for sharing your life and and expo with us. ❤
Seeing as you like your cranberry salsa over cream cheese I would like to share another similar recipe for what I like to serve over cream cheese it’s called Jezebel sauce. 1 jar of apple jelly any brand, 1 jar of pineapple preserves and one jar of apricot jelly or preserves mix the jars together in a bowl and add horseradish to taste and pepper let it chill and pour over a room temp block of cream cheese and we dip it with wheat thins as well the combination of flavors and the horseradish is lovely…
Spinach is good for chicken you must roll it in the clerr food wrap and freeze it then slice it and stuff the chicken it doesn't run out all over the pan has much
I watched your older video about the vanilla. I bought some End of Days (Fantastic Wilmington NC distillery) spiced rum to do mine. It is absolutely the best. As you say, a game changer! I will never buy extract from the store again.
Just a friendly tip. Never put anything scented on a table you are going to sit and eat at. The reason being as if the scent is strong like those cinnamon pinecones, it will effect your eating experience. The flavour of your food will be altered as our taste buds are effected by our scent receptors. So be careful with putting scented candles, flowers or decor that have a scent.
You are amazing and such an inspiration!I just borrowed some land in a friend's yard to garden in because you inspired me to try to grow the veggies we buy all the time anyway!
Had to try the stuff chicken so I made up some of the cheese ball mix and my family loved it thanks to you and everyone that gave the idea I will be making it again
I make stuffed chicken a lot I change it up an yes pork chops r amazing stuff as well I take bacon an wrapp around the chicken to hold all the goodness inside I get so excited when I see a new video up I’ve learned so much from watching u thank u so much for sharing wit us
Instead of scrubbing or putting something down on your cast iron, put like 1/2"-1" of water in there and boil it for about ten minutes. It loosens everything and if you rinse it while it's still warm (but not boiling) the stuff in the cast iron just wipes RIGHT out!!
Hi Becky, next time you stuff chicken breast, don't open the chicken up all the way. Just make like a little pocket on the side of the chicken. That way you won't lose any stuffing when you're cooking them 😊 I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us!
Hi Becky! I was wondering if you were to freeze dry all of the cilantro/parsley stems, would they blend up into a powder? Also, do you think you'll be making homemade baby food? I'm due a couple months after you and would love to get inspiration from you if you choose to share that portion of motherhood💞
I love making what I call jalapeño popper stuffed chicken breast. Make your filling with diced jalapeño, garlic, shredded cheese of your choosing and cream cheese, stuff your chicken then wrap it in bacon. It’s sooooo good!
I used to make a stuffed chicken breast with roasted red pepper sauce for the top. Stuffed them with ricotta, parmesaean and herbs the same way you just did. It's really good too!
We may not see much of Josh but we know how supportive he is of you, what a blessing. Stuffed chicken breasts are amazing. Wrapping the breasts in bacon helps keep all the stuff inside the chicken.
I wrap my stuffed chicken in Prosciutto, or some cured ham that is similar to that. It gets really crispy and nice👍
@@lailayen765 Hei hei til en annen nordboer her❣️🇳🇴🤗☺️
I have made the stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon and it was delicious.

If you like the coat, keep it! There might be a month or two this winter you can't wear it, but there will be more winters. Can't beat the price.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Once you have the baby, the coat will fit you fine! Do not think you will be as big once you give birth! You will begin to compress back and that coat will be great till you get back to your normal size. Great price and you will enjoy it.
Agreed- and if it ends up being too big, it’ll make a great donation to a coat drive.

Then just lay them over the back of dinning chairs to dry. I love using cloth napkins. Hopefully it makes my guests feel special. I know you’ll have fun decorating your table. Fun haul.
You are so sweet, Becky, I can't wait to see how you decorate for the holidays. Everyone is going to love your holiday dinner and apprecate special touches that makes them feel warm and cozy inside.
Good afternoon! Your decorations shopping for Thanksgiving inspired me to host a Friendsgiving and go shopping for cute decor. Hope you are having an amazing day! ❤

When we clean our herbs we just fill the sink and gently wash them/ swish them around. If you run the cold water while pouring the cooking water, it really helps prevent steam burns. Much safer for you.
That was so fun. Your table scape is going to be very nice. I'm inspired to try making stuffed chicken breast now too. My tip for ease in cleaning cast iron, which I use 90%, is to remove hot food to a Pyrex dish and deglaze the cast iron pan while it's still hot. Sometimes, I use the deglaze liquid, but sometimes I just dump it. Hope that helps 😊
Stuffed chicken breast - cream cheese, old bay and wrap the breast with either prosciutto or bacon
Hi pretty lady how are you doing ,and how is the weather over there?
My favorite stuffing for chicken is cream cheese, jalapeño, colby jack cheese, and crispy bacon i also season it with pepper garlic powder and onion powder. Sometimes I wrap it in bacon Sometimes I do seasoned bread crumbs. Then bake in oven at 400 till reaches 165 degrees
Becky I love your videos,because they are as cozy as a big hug with cozy slippers..Your shopping haul is amazing,such bargains.I agree with your table decor and napkins,I would've chosen the same things.I get sad when we run out of cilantro..I love your slippers ,and honey crisp apples are my favorite..I want to try your stuffed chicken breast recipe (I hate it,hubby loves it)..but it just sounds delicious..You look radiant BTW!
You can use bakers twine to tie the stuffed chicken breasts together. That should help keep the stuffing in the meat and not so much in your cast iron pan.
Thank you so much for the haul Becky! I think though, that the only difference between the two of us, is that I wouldn't have had the willpower to either leave things or put things back on the shelf. I'm so bad! My motto is buy now/think about it later lol. Believe me, your way is much better! Costco is my best friend and worst enemy. I love that place!

A suggestion for open sleeves/boxes of crackers you can't use up... Toss them in the food processer and turn them into crumbs. Then freeze and use them for anything you'd use bread crumbs for. (They don't stick together when frozen, btw.)
I actually found a recipe on TikTok for a potato zucchini casserole I improvised and used asiago cheese instead in this recipe and used French fried onions on the top it is amazing and it has fresh oregano in it

On the chargers great for fall, don’t worry about placement, use table runner, and use chargers one on each end runner then a charger on each other spot put napkins down to hold silverware just place plate in center of each, glasses set on table. I could on and on about doing table it’s hard to explain. I even made my own table linens and napkin holders so easy and cheap, just look and there’s so many ideas.
When your cast iron pan gets hard cooked food stuck on it, simply put enough water in your pan and cook it on the stove for a bit. You'll be able to deglaze/ scrape the food right off. No scrubbing necessary! Then clean , dry and give it a wipe with oil.
I am permanently amazed at your energy! Then you mention you used to work 2 jobs (as well as the garden back then too). Wow. I am SO with you on using up what you have that needs used up, I feel bad because I struggled yesterday to get through my chores before and after work, and ended up using a bought in jar of Letscho (tomato and bell pepper vinegar sauce with the peppers left sliced) in my dinner instead of using the last of my tomatoes and peppers that I have in the fridge. Maybe next year I'll make my own and can it like you do with salsa! Thanks for taking us along with you today.
If you cut down into the chicken, and not side cut it. There is a certain way to cut your chicken, so the cheese doesn’t melt out all over your pan. And so that’s why you wrap in chicken after stuffing with cheese it seal’s the cheese. So you don’t end up with a big mess of melted cheese. And it adds an extra dimension to the chicken. It tastes delicious.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🇬🇧
the green and white bathroom is great! if the cast iron is seasoned properly it'll be easy to clean
Ooo. Our favorite sweet potato recipe is simple. I roast them whole, take skin off, mash, add salt/pepper, butter, then add some chipotle sauce from the small can to taste. The smokiness and a bit of a kick make this dish very popular. If I have it, I may top with bacon crumbles. Simply delicious.
I love savory sweet potatoes too. I can’t eat them with sugar on them. I make baked sweet potatoes with butter, copper sharp and sour cream, hot pepper too. I also make shepherds pie with half mashed sweet potatoes.i make cheese potato casserole with white and sweet potatoes.🥰
plain water in the scraped skillet on the stove med high. everything left comes loose with a spatula. no worries.
at my Costco they sell a brand of stuffed chicken breasts that have broccoli cheddar ,or ham swiss cheese ,or cranberry brie. They're a little processed, little rolls that are breaded, which I think helps keep the filling in.
Stuffed chicken breast is one of my sisters favorite frozen prepped dinners! Very simple and yet super delicious
I haven't been able to find the cheese ball recipe you used in your chicken. I recently lost my job and want to do what I can to stretch our $. You are such an inspiration Becky!
I make stuff chicken breast all the time, our favourite is homemade kievs because we like heaps of garlic & chilli in it, I also make a seafood (creamy garlic prawns) stuffed chicken breast. All I do is freeze the mixture in logs (about the length & thickness of a finger, make a tunnel in the chicken & stuff the frozen mixture inside, I then usually coat with some homemade breadcrumbs that I've added seasoning to.
If you don’t have a chain-mail scrubber for your cast iron and stainless steel, you might want to get one. It’s a game changer.
Becky - if are worried about the fringe on the green placemats, put them in a laundry bag when you wash them, that should help them not get torn up :) Your videos help me decompress after work. Thanks!

I think a salad spinner would serve you well, especially if you will be freeze drying herbs a lot. Your home is beautiful.
When I was growing up we had cast-iron‘s we used to put water in the pan and boil it. That help loosen up the food it’s like when your deglazing the bottom of the pan
Yum! Thanks for sharing your use of the processor in grating the parmesan cheese. I have used it before for cheddar and other cheeses, but didn’t realize you could do this as well. Thanks again!

Parmesan chunks are so good just dipped in a balsamic glaze (reduced balsamicvinegear)
Becky, I was pregnant through the winter months. I stayed so hit all the time that I rarely wore a coat, even when it was in the liw 20s. A sweater was just right.
U could use the wicker charger for hot dishes to go on the table
The round thing would be cute as placemats with the white runner
Pork chop stuffed with stuffing is delightful!
FYI: Becky, Chuck’s has Honey Crisp apples for .99 this week. I bought them last time they had them on sale at this price and I freeze dried #40 lbs for hubby snacks. I am going tomorrow to get another #40 because i just can’t pass up the deal. I will be freeze drying again to put up because my hubby is loving them.
FYI: I forgot to mention that I made FD applesauce for my great nephew with these same apples. He will be starting solids soon, so and I mailed FD applesauce, Bananas and peas to his parents….the nutrition will be so much better than the canned or frozen stuff my kiddos had at that age.
Hi Becky, my grandmother tought me the top of cilantro is for garnish and not to throw out the cilantro stems but to puree it and use it to cook with, the stems are still full of flavor. I love being part of your community and learning with you thank you kindly for sharing God bless you all always.

Pork chops filled with a simple Thanksgiving stuffing and raisins is wonderful.
Your cranberry jalapeno cream cheese mixture would be good stuffed in a chicken breast. You could put a little less sugar in the mixture so it's not as sweet, but I think it would be delicious.
Have you considered sprouting seed for microgreen during th period where your garden isn't producing. Then you can still have fresh greens. Like broccoli, alfalfa, mung beans. I doesn't require a medium to grow in, just a large jar.
I stuff my chicken with cheese and broccoli that is cooked first and than I bread the chicken with milk and seasoned bread crumbs. Bake on parchment paper for easy clean up .
I would keep the coat, Becky you won't be expecting next Winter.
Hi Becky, chefs would kill for the coriander roots and stems. Consider freezing and then mortar to add to soups, curries and Asian style meals. Although you could freeze dry these and grind them into a powder and add these as mentioned.Chickens are getting the best bits. In regards to stuffing for pork chops ...prunes, herbs, garlic, fried bread crumbs in butter makes a great stuffing.
Where's your octagon shaped cast iron!?
I am still enjoying both snow in my yard AND fresh tomatoes. I had about 50 lbs that were green and they have been ripening in my basement. They are NOT as good as the vine ripened ones but still a LOT better than the grocery store Tomatoes.
I had noticed the new fuzzy slippers in the video before the Costco/Winco/Target trip and thought they looked comfy. ❤
I love sweet potatoes with butter & brown sugar. I got people that doesn't love sweet potatoes they love this one.
Hi Becky, I tried the garlic infused oil and garlic confit. It worked out wonderfully. I made garlic butter with a bit of the confit and it tasted really good. thanks for the idea.
🇦🇺Use the round table mats for hot serving dishes.
You can use half mashed sweet potatoes and half normal mashed potatoes. Tastes great.
Dinner looks awesome! Great shopping tri. Your energy level is amazing!!

Your wicker place Matts you could use as trivets for your island for a buffet setting for bowls and platters. Unless it’s just not your style.

My aunt used to make the best stuffed pork chops in the world. She used stuffing. I am not sure if she made her own or just used the one from the store though. Maybe you could look into something like that. Thanks for sharing another great video with us, have a great evening.
I saw that you had a new video posted, but made a deal with myself: finish washing the windows and rehanging the clean curtains before watching the video!! 😊
You have a sun room you can grow avocados, I have 2 trees growing in my sun room. Try it you’ll be amazed.
Becky, I absolutely adore your expression when you taste test. So excited to meet your baby. I’m a baby nurse. Thank you for sharing your life and and expo with us. ❤
I'd keep the coat your only going to bed a bigger one for a month. Layer up and leave it open if it too tight. Its nice and looks good
Seeing as you like your cranberry salsa over cream cheese I would like to share another similar recipe for what I like to serve over cream cheese it’s called Jezebel sauce. 1 jar of apple jelly any brand, 1 jar of pineapple preserves and one jar of apricot jelly or preserves mix the jars together in a bowl and add horseradish to taste and pepper let it chill and pour over a room temp block of cream cheese and we dip it with wheat thins as well the combination of flavors and the horseradish is lovely…
Spinach is good for chicken you must roll it in the clerr food wrap and freeze it then slice it and stuff the chicken it doesn't run out all over the pan has much
Use your Thanksgiving Stuffing recipe to stuff pork chops! Then use a toothpick to hold them together.
You can also make a pan gravy for this.
I watched your older video about the vanilla. I bought some End of Days (Fantastic Wilmington NC distillery) spiced rum to do mine. It is absolutely the best. As you say, a game changer! I will never buy extract from the store again.
Just a friendly tip. Never put anything scented on a table you are going to sit and eat at. The reason being as if the scent is strong like those cinnamon pinecones, it will effect your eating experience. The flavour of your food will be altered as our taste buds are effected by our scent receptors. So be careful with putting scented candles, flowers or decor that have a scent.
You are amazing and such an inspiration!I just borrowed some land in a friend's yard to garden in because you inspired me to try to grow the veggies we buy all the time anyway!
Becky you can keep crackers in freezer and they keep much longer
Had to try the stuff chicken so I made up some of the cheese ball mix and my family loved it thanks to you and everyone that gave the idea I will be making it again
I am definitely with you about the freeze dried herbs. I will definitely be growing a ton more Basil, oregano and cilantro next year!!
I make stuffed chicken a lot I change it up an yes pork chops r amazing stuff as well I take bacon an wrapp around the chicken to hold all the goodness inside I get so excited when I see a new video up I’ve learned so much from watching u thank u so much for sharing wit us

Becky I always wrap a slice of bacon around the chicken breast as it keeps it sealed and also keeps the chicken moist😂
Instead of scrubbing or putting something down on your cast iron, put like 1/2"-1" of water in there and boil it for about ten minutes. It loosens everything and if you rinse it while it's still warm (but not boiling) the stuff in the cast iron just wipes RIGHT out!!
My mother will boil some water in her cast iron to loosen up caked on stuff.
OMGosh...my husband and I share stuffed chicken with cheese at Ruths Chris but yours looks soooo much better! Love those flavors! Thanks friend ❤
Hi Becky, next time you stuff chicken breast, don't open the chicken up all the way. Just make like a little pocket on the side of the chicken. That way you won't lose any stuffing when you're cooking them 😊
I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us!
Josh is the sweetest husband !!I love listening to him taste test your cooking🇦🇺

After I watched you make the Cranberry salsa I made it, it's so tasty and a must in my family now. Thanks for the inspiration
Hi Becky! I was wondering if you were to freeze dry all of the cilantro/parsley stems, would they blend up into a powder? Also, do you think you'll be making homemade baby food? I'm due a couple months after you and would love to get inspiration from you if you choose to share that portion of motherhood💞
I have made stuffed chicken breast with basil pesto once. It was delicious.
I love making what I call jalapeño popper stuffed chicken breast. Make your filling with diced jalapeño, garlic, shredded cheese of your choosing and cream cheese, stuff your chicken then wrap it in bacon. It’s sooooo good!

I used to make a stuffed chicken breast with roasted red pepper sauce for the top. Stuffed them with ricotta, parmesaean and herbs the same way you just did. It's really good too!

Just heat your cast iron up on the stove and "deglaze" it with hot water - it will come clean easy peasy!
