Seriously, is ur mom ex military? I was in the Army, in my twenties and my OCD served me well. I had no problem being ordered to roll my socks into 4” balls or hv my locker all “dress right dress”. I thought it was funny that my behavioral disorder made rigid details “an everyday thing -normal”. Thanks for all the work you and your Mom did. It’s funny cuz I hadn’t completely watched all of this video, as I wrote the first part , so… when your Mom showed her To Do list, I lol. I do that too❣️ When I am doing a complicated meal, with lots of components, I create a time line that runs backwards. I start with #1 when I want to serve or eat, then cook times for each item. I write a draft first so I can more easily pencil in the time line, adjusting along the process. Then, you can put each item onto a chronological ordered To Do list. I keep a Master Copy for future reference, when cooking large proteins like Prime Rib, Smoking a Pork Butt or cooking a whole Turkey. It all sounds kindda complicated, but for me it reduces a lot of stress and frustration. You only hv to figure it out one time, then those “directions” will guide any future efforts. Cooking for two or for 20 doesn’t have to be stressful, if you “try” to plan away the stressful parts. We aren’t born knowing how to cook, or clean, or garden. We hv to learn from our mistakes and keep the desire to try differently next time. 🙂
What a fantastic video. Not going to lie, I teared up when your family prayed for Gizmo 💕 the love your family has for each other comes through so strong
Seeing such a positive mother daughter relationship almost brought me to tears. Honestly. It is just so nice to see a mom and daughter getting along and enriching each other’s lives. God bless y’all.
You should have your mom join you in your videos more often. She has so many great ideas and she is a very calming influence. Puts me at ease and helps me chill. Preparing and hosting a big dinner on can be very stressful, but it helps if you deep breathe from the diaphragm and slow down your delivery of speech and recognize that it will all get done regardless of whether you spin like a top in a frenzy or chill like a leader in charge who gets things done calmly and methodically.
Wow, you and your Mom are quite a team together 💕I can see now where you get your organization skills and your work ethic. I enjoyed this video so much. Your Mom is a natural on camera. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 💕~Donna
I miss my mom so very much. She and I did all the Holliday shopping, prep, baking and cooking together every Holliday. She passed on to the other side 17 yrs ago. Hollidays sure are not the same. Love and blessings for you, your mom and your beautiful family. I rewatch your videos of your Holliday meals that you and your mom do and it brings me back to my beautiful memories. Thank you so very much! 💗🦋🥰🙏
Same here😞 So sorry for your loss. I too lost my mom 8 years ago, we too did so much together, sadly in the end she lost memory. No matter how old you get to be, I am 73 and I still wish she were here especially this time of year. All the best to you and yours. I also love watching Acre Homestead.🌷
My parents have both passed away. Way too soon. Watching your videos warms my heart and reminds me of the fun we used to have eating, laughing, and loving. It’s so nice to see your family enjoying the simple pleasures.♥️♥️♥️
Oh, you just got me for life when your family circled & prayed + your father called on the healer to touch gizmo's body. Also, it brought tears to my eyes to watch you & your mother lovingly work together in the kitchen as a team, even having fun!
I am the queen of lists and I bow down to your Mama’s organization skills!! This is a great video, I loved seeing you and your Mama working together to bless your families with a delicious feast! I do miss working in sync with my Mama, but I do so love working with my daughters! We each have our specialties that we bring to share. You were pondering why you only think to eat stuffing once a year…it’s so you have something special to look forward to! There are several dishes and desserts that we save for only Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love that one of my daughter’s MIL decided long ago to celebrate their holidays the weekend prior to holidays. I think she was really forward thinking in that most woman go to their Mama’s for holidays, so she enjoys her son’s families every year even if it is a week early! This has worked great for our kids’ Friendsgiving feasts, too. When my Mama passed away, my sisters and I had to figure out how to recreate her specialties. So, I have in my recipe notebook not only my recipes, shopping and ingredients all listed out, every year I make notes of what worked well, what didn’t, ideas to try next year and any tweaks done or ideas I want to remember for next year. And, not to be morbid, but should I leave this earth unexpectedly, I hope that my notes will be a comfort and a prompt for good memories of past years. Oh, and I am going to start charting timetables like your Mama does, too! Thanks for sharing!!
I started to try new recipes for Thanksgiving and Christmas and that was a big Knogo from my kids. They absolutely love their traditional food that my mom made and that I made and they do not like it when I try to change it. 😁 I am with you though cooking with my mom was wonderful and now cooking with my daughters is so special and I have a son-in-law that joins in the cooking.
Watching as I cook my Thanksgiving dinner for my family. I’m 52 now and a lot of my family has gone on to be with the Lord, so it will be just my mama (she’s 84) and my little family (my husband and 4 kids) now this year!! 💕❤️🙏🏼 You both are an inspiration on your organization and meal ideas!! Much Love to you and your mom Becky on this day of thanks!! 💕❤️🙏🏼 Love, from your neighbor in Oregon…. 🌲💕❤️🙏🏼~Trina~💕❤️
This video is an amazing lesson on how to throw any kind of event or party. It's pure gold. Also, the naughty look on your mom's face when you were looking for sugar for the cranberry salsa was priceless. You guys make an amazing team, hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Love from Argentina as always.
I think for as long as you choose to be a TH-camr, I will watch, primarily because I so appreciate that when something doesn't turn out just right, YOU STILL SHARE IT. I love that! Real home cooks have things that don't turn out perfectly and they get to learn from that. I mean, don't get me wrong...you get much more right and much more right than I do, but it was encouraging to see real life results. Makes me less fearful of trying. Thank you so much for sharing things like your rolls that are slightly less than spectacular.
Your mum is the sweetest! I wish I had a mum like her, she has so much patience and you can just see how much love she has for you when you are together. Happy holidays from Scotland
I feel you girl, I didn't had parents and even thou I have a daughter it still sucks not having parents but specially a wonderful sweet mom like Becky's, they are blessed to have each other because Becky is also an amazing daughter helping her mom so much! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!🦃🍂🍁✌🏻
Your mom is a freaking genius doing the recipes on cabinets. I put lists on mine. I love the painters tape idea. It is also good for taping garments together for sewing.
I LOVE your mom and watching you two together. We cooked with our mother alot the same way and we lost her the end of July at 94 years old and it has been REALLY hard to get in the holiday spirit. Happy Holidays.
I think your mom did great on the video - first time I've seen her. I really like how organized you both are and that what you do makes so much sense. A lot of people fly by the seat of their pants and that doesn't work for me -- I sometimes get roasted for being organized but doesn't stop me. Just nice to see others that plan ahead.
Got to say...I cried when I saw the family gathered at the table and praying. Not enough people pray anymore. This should be a daily practice. Nice family Becky. Beautiful gathering and good looking food.
The highlight of this was your mother's funny shower story about the jalapeños! I shouldn't laugh🤣🤣🤣,you make a great team,I really enjoyed this,I've just discovered a catering company nearby that preps the veg for Christmas dinner,I'm seriously considering paying someone else to do it for me 🤗
Wonderful watching you and your Mom working together so seamlessly! Believe me, far too many of us are envious. Just a tip for piecrust, freeze the butter then grate it. Easier to incorporate into the flour.
This is the BEST video on the entire internet!!!! Thanksgiving was at the beginning of October up here, BUT this Christmas I WILL be following all your advice. Please give a big thankyou to your mom from me too.
I saw 50 mins and a picture of you and mom and I put my daughter to bed, made tea and settled in lolol. Love it thanks Becky, it all looked so yum and I love love the organised prep and cook, your mom is just lovely, such a pleasure xxxx
I watch all your videos, and you've inspired me to get gardening. I just wanted to say I also have a fur baby named Gizmo. He's 13 years old and is nearing the end of his life. Going deaf and blind, has trouble going up and down steps. When I hear you talk about your Gizmo, I think of my baby. He is the first pet my husband and I got when we started dating.
I don't get to spend Hollidays with my family so this was an absolute treasure. Thank you for letting us come along and share this special day with you and your family. 🥰
I just started watching this ... I *should* be in my kitchen prepping dinner, but instead, I am going to watch you while I eat some lunch ... it's just my DD and me, so I don't have a crowd to prepare for. Thank you for inspiring. I miss my family, and find this to be an enjoyable substitute for now. 💖
Seeing how organized you two are makes me really excited to take some of your tips and apply them to my next holiday meal! Less time spent cooking the day of and less stress sounds fantastic!
Loved this video. Not only was it helpful in seeing how you both prepare the meal, but you gave me a sense of belonging and being a part of it all. Thank you.
Kathie Ryan here :) Thank you for sharing your family time with us and seeing/listening to your Dad pray while you all held hands was the highlight for me. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you!!!!
Becky , l love that you call mom, my mom l am an older woman and to me that is pride, respectful and love. I am really loving all of your shows. You are a great chef and cook. Keep it up Becky and Mom.
Years ago on my first trip to Oregon I saw a Marion berry pie on a menu. I've lived in the DC area most of my life and could not fathom why a pie would be named after our crazy mayor (Marion Barry). My nephew educated me 😁 and I have to laugh every time I hear it now. Happy Thanksgiving to your lovely family!
I LOVE putting the recipes on the cupboard! Best idea ever! This was my 1st Thanksgiving without my mom, it was probably the worst day I've had since she passed. I need to use some of you and your mama's tips to keep everything together for next year. My mom was 68 and had it all organized in her head and kept us on track that way. Thank you for sharing and give your mom a hug.
Oh I miss family gatherings! ☹️ My kids are now grown and live all over and we don't spend Thanksgiving together anymore so I usually spend it alone. You and your mom are fantastic in the kitchen and everything looked and sounded really good! Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving. Loved the video! 🥰
Your mom has provided me with a new set of goals for my momlife. Thanks for sharing another slice of your life with us. You are so genuine and sweet, I love it!
Your mom has crazy organizational skills, I see where you get it. Great idea to put the directions on the cabinet doors!! Your mom is a natural in front of the camera. Thank Your parents for having us in their home, everything looks amazing!!!
I buy Stove top stuffing by the case from Costco. I get two cs which last me one year. I sauté celery, onion and garlic in the butter (amount recommended on the pkg). Add some poultry seasoning for that extra holiday flavoring. Then toss in bread crumbs and cook as directed. Every time we go to Costco or Sam’s Club, we get 1 or 2 rotisserie chickens. I always fix Stove Top and pull out cranberry sauce from the freezer or a can from the pantry. So yes, you can enjoy stuffing all year long. 🥰🥰
I love the way your mother works, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree ; ) I can realy enjoy watching a good oraganized food prepping. Just found your channel and love it! I also make deepfreeze dinners but on a smaller scale because i only have room for one freezer and no garden. Have a great thanksgiving and lots of love from The Netherlands!
Ahhhh, I love your moms spacious kitchen/counters! You’re so lucky to have a great relationship with your mom. My mom is great, but cooking/baking is NOT her favorite thing to do with me. Love your channel! God bless you and your family! Dee
Although we don't have thanksgiving in my country this video made me start planning Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals - we don't have cranberries here, so our seasonal fruits of choice are mangoes, cherries, pineapple, passionfruit, and stonefruits. Whatever else see have will definitely include stuffing which is different to the American version and lots of seafood like crayfish/lobster, prawns etc! I hope Gizmo is doing better and lots of buttons were undone after the meal - Happy Thanksgiving for today as well!
Such a heart warming video of the all the prep n meals prepared for Thanksgiving. What an amazing pair u both are Becky. Its easy to see now where u get all ur talent from. Mum looked so beautiful all dressed up for the day. U have an awesome mum n family. All the best.
Thank you for this video! My mom and I almost mirror the exact traditions and I loved seeing the victories and the follies along the way...very much in the spirit of Julia Child. I prayed right along w/ ur family and thank you for opening the door to all of us!❤️
I love seeing you and your mom or you and your sister work in the kitchen. You’re both extremely friendly and warm and loving. I almost feel like I’m there enjoying the holiday or celebration with you gals! Thank you for sharing your special moments with us. I got hooked on watching Homestead TH-cam videos when I was in the hospital. It was a great way to put your mind in a happy spot! When you drop something, break something, set off a smoke alarm🤣 and make a mess…. It just makes us feel more at home! My nurses wanted to know what I was smiling at when watching my phone, lol. Thank you Becky, and thank your mom and sister. Also thank your husband for allowing us into your home and being a part of it too! Keep up the good work👍!
I loved how many things I gleaned from you & your mom sharing your information with us! Best was you sharing prayer. It immediately brought tears to my eyes. The world is changing at such a fast pace so, it is nice to see other brothers and sisters share their love in the Lord. Something we share in common. It is such a rare but treasured thing.
OMG! I LOOOOVE how super organised your mum is. Pining recipes and checklists to the cupboards? Genius! I am doing that this Christmas. Love to you both from Nottingham, UK
Om gosh, I thought my mother was the only person who put tags in her serving dishes. She also had a mini notepad that she wrote everything on. She too went backwards from time wanted to eat. Great moms think alike!!
You are my people, we just haven’t met yet! You remind me of my self (20 years ago!) and you’ve reignited my passions for gardening and preserving and organizing that I’d lost over the years. May your life be blessed with fresh air and bountiful harvests!
I love watching you in the kitchen with your mother, mother-in-law and sister. Growing up, I did not get along so well with my mother in the kitchen. And now, my daughter doesn't allow me in the kitchen with her when she's cooking, so we never cook together. Watching you lovingly work together really touches my heart.
Ohhh Becky, thank you so very much for letting us join you as you prepare your Thanksgiving feast! I really appreciate it because of the memories it brings me cooking with my dear Mom! We used to have wonderful feasts too although we were 100% LESS organized than you two! Everybody's gone now and it's just me here so I picked up dinner at a restaurant and watched your terrific video! You are an inspiration!! I hope your sweet Gizmo is all better now! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones and to everyone who watches this channel!! Hugs!
Thanks a lot for this video. I dont do Thanksgiving here in my country (France), but I felt like I was part of your wonderful family during the video and it made me feel really happy. Have a nice Thanksgiving Becky, thank you for the joy you're bringing to people through your videos !❤
I have so much in common with you Becky! I worked in Dental Hygiene for over 10 yrs (recently had a child so now I am home with her), I love to cook, working towards homesteading, my family has had natural/organic practices since I was a child, I love to be thoroughly educated on interesting topics, I am a perfectionist, I am a total klutz in the kitchen, I care deeply about others, I could go on and on but it just blows my mind every time I learn something about you in a video and can relate so much. I love your videos! Please never stop!
My dad passed away on 2019, we used to prepare Christmas meal together, so I really enjoy watching your family having fun and relaxing in this special day. Hugs from south Italy
I love watching your vlogs! I devour them as I do housework, especially while I’m doing dishes. I have a windowsill in front of my sink where I set my phone on its holder, then I put on the noise cancel of my earpods, so the sound of water from my faucet doesn’t drown out the audio. Your long vlogs are my favorite because by the time your video is finished my work in the kitchen is done, too. I like you because you are really knowledgeable in the kitchen, not just someone making instagramable dishes!
Happy Thanksgiving! I did all my cooking yesterday and my 12 year old baked 3 pies so now my oven is heating up everything that needs to be heated . Thankful for you!
Your Mum is so organised! I loved listening to her make up the rubs, she is so passionate, it’s like she’s announcing the bingo numbers with each spice :) great inspiring teamwork!!!
I think stuffing is everyone's favourite side BECAUSE we only have it once a year. When we eat it, it reminds us that we have gathered with good friends or family, at the BEST time of the year. We don't get sick of it because we don't eat it often.
I think the reason the favorite Thanksgiving dish is the dressing/stuffing is because people only have it once a year. As a child, we only had it once a year, and it was my favorite. Now I make it about 8 times per year. It's no longer my favorite dish on Thanksgiving. 🥰 Happy Thanksgiving to the Acre Homestead family!
Your mom is so organized! I would love to see her do a pantry and kitchen tour! I bet it is totally organized! 🤩 We do make stuffed pork loin with herb stuffing, olives, feta cheese, and figs when ever my figs ripen on the trees every year!! Its kind of a tradition now lol.
I just found your channel a few days ago and love it! Enjoyed watching you and your mom working ❤️ together! Learned some awesome ideas to streamline our holiday time in the kitchen. My mom passed when I was 19 and dad passed 3 years later. I am the oldest girl and I had to take the lead for holidays. It was many years ago that I lost my folks and had to learn so many things on my own, as I am now 64, married with 4 married kids and 16 grandchildren, so when we all get together, their are 26 of us. Thanks for sharing your and your mom's knowledge with your subscribers!
I loved watching you cook with your Mom! Until last year, we always did Thanksgiving with my family and Christmas with the Hubby’s. We always spent the whole weekend with Mom and Dad and we all cooked and had a blast. My Hubby ended up with a new job in 2020 in a different State, so we haven’t been able to spend the holidays with the family since. I lived vicariously through you, today! 🥰
Thank you for sharing your family's celebration 💖 I hope you had a wonderful time together. In the UK, we eat stuffing throughout the year because in most households it's traditional on Sundays to have roast meat & veg for lunch or dinner.
Regarding stuffing, I always make a huge batch, usually 4x the amount and then freeze several individual servings so I can have it with different meals, it doesn’t always have to be eaten with poultry, when I reheat it, I usually just add a small amount of my home made broth that I freeze in ice cube trays for small servings such as this
How blessed you are to have a wonderful family and the cooking tradition with Mum !! I am living for it .. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving !! We don't have that holiday in Australia but I really wish we did .. It is hot here right now though so our table would look completely different .. still .. I love the sentiment. Hugs xx
i also love watching you make everything from scratch!! so many youtube vids are all about jars and packets and convenience. its nice to see whole real food. you're awesome :D
I love the organization your mom has from grocery list to table. My family doesn't do Thanksgiving since mom died, they just do their own things. Christmas is never on Dec 25th, but we do get together, but we never have a sit down meal, it's usually finger food or gumbo. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone & God Bless you all. 💜
I was so happy and sad at the same time to watch this video. It sure made me miss my Mom even more... This is what we would do together, I miss her so much.... You two work so well together, and watching y'all made it very enjoyable... Thank you for sharing....
I lost my mom when I was six, love watching you and your mother together. I imagine this would be my life if she wasn't taken from me. Enjoy every minute together ❤️
I love watching you two work together! ❤ when I could eat gluten, I kept homemade stuffing seasoning mix in a jar on the pantry. It had dried minced onion, dried celery flakes (dried celery leaves), dried sage, thyme and parsley. I would dry the heels of loaves of bread cut into cubes and throw it in a bag in the pantry. It's a carb thing!!
Happy Thanksgiving Becky! You and your mom are so precious, I feel like I’m in the kitchen with y’all as I’m trying to finish up all my cooking, bless you. ❤️
Your organization is awesome! The way you have your recipes setup near where you'll be preparing and putting Post-its in platters, is genius. You both seem so calm and just doing the next needed thing, it's so nice to watch. You make a great team in the kitchen!.
I loved this video ! You can feel the love from your family and the organization tips were so helpful !! I have heard of prepping food ahead of time but it was so helpful to see it in action . I also loved to see you and your mom cooking together ! I can wait to try this :)
Thanks for bringing us with you while you cooked and baked with your mom. I'm away at graduate school right now really missing my own mama, and this gave me a little taste of that feeling of being home, cooking and chatting with her. Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you for taking the time to make this video ! It's really inspiring ! For the pumpkin pie, to make it even easier you can make your pumpkin puree ahead by simply cutting it in half and baking it in the oven at 350°F (cut side down) for 40-60 min. Then I just keep it in the freezer and take it out the day before or in the morning.
Is that really all pumpkin puree is? To make it too, just cut in half, put facedown on pan & roast. Thats it?!? Lol. All this darn time ive wasted, wishing to find canned pumpkin puree & i couldve made it, sigh smh. Lol.
@@sarahmellouk3754 i thought the exact same thing when I found out about this hack. I just make a bunch of pumpkin when it’s the season and then I have pumpkin puree for the rest of the year. If the puree is too runny, you just have to put it in a strainer and let the extra moisture drip. I freeze it flat in a ziplock bag.
Felt the same when I realised oat milk was just oats blended with water, applesauce was pureed steamed apple chunks. And now pumpkin puree has also been demystified, thanks to you!
@@sarahmellouk3754 Indeed, then add the appropriate spices for the pie filling to that puree and put it into a pie shell and you have pie, once you've baked it. This way, you aren't having to cut, deseed, then bake before it gets pureed and can lessen the rush/stress of baking a lot of things in one day. It's amazing how many things you can do parts of the day before, or at times, weeks before and simply freeze, and one of those is the pie dough if not mistaken, just wrap in Saran Wrap, then into a freezer bag and freeze, once you make into a "hockey puck" shape before wrapping, or simply lay it on plastic wrap, then grab the plastic and form the pucks with it before wrapping up, saves a step there.
This was so entertaining! Your Mom and you work so well together in the kitchen! Then it was a pleasure to see your Dad and sister chip in too! Good food and family…truly a blessing! Happy Thanksgiving….👋 from 🇨🇦
This was wonderful even a year old. Seeing a family enjoy each other and food is wonderful. That is what family and holidays are for. Enjoyed this very much. Such a nice family.
Wow girl...now i see where u got this energy from...u inherited it from your beautiful mom...she's so energetic and well organized too...the two of u are such a blessing to your family...i hope the know and appreciate that

Seriously, is ur mom ex military? I was in the Army, in my twenties and my OCD served me well. I had no problem being ordered to roll my socks into 4” balls or hv my locker all “dress right dress”.

🤣😂🤣🤣I love it!!!. Yeah ...my thoughts exactly; most moms would panic; she seems so calm and ready to execute!
What a fantastic video. Not going to lie, I teared up when your family prayed for Gizmo 💕 the love your family has for each other comes through so strong
Oh my gosh me too getting ready for work and getting my mascara runny
Me too! I was doing so well through the whole video ... until the end. UGH!
And my deepest sympathy over his passing. My worst day was when my little soul mate left this world. 💔
It brought tears to my eyes too did too. Lovely family
Me too. So heartfelt!
Seeing such a positive mother daughter relationship almost brought me to tears. Honestly. It is just so nice to see a mom and daughter getting along and enriching each other’s lives. God bless y’all.
Yes. When I watch these 2 it brings back happy memories of my mother and I. I wish every daughter could have this experience.
they're very blessed to have that, I don't myself & it is nice to see

You should have your mom join you in your videos more often. She has so many great ideas and she is a very calming influence. Puts me at ease and helps me chill. Preparing and hosting a big dinner on can be very stressful, but it helps if you deep breathe from the diaphragm and slow down your delivery of speech and recognize that it will all get done regardless of whether you spin like a top in a frenzy or chill like a leader in charge who gets things done calmly and methodically.
I no longer wonder HOW or WHY you are so organized and efficient in the kitchen. You get it from your mom! Great job mom and Becky!
Thank you!!
@@AcreHomestead can you please share your cinnamon bread recipe
A 50 minutes video? This IS Thanksgiving!!! 😍 happy holidays Becky!!
Happy Thanksgiving!! Thank you!
Wow, you and your Mom are quite a team together 💕I can see now where you get your organization skills and your work ethic. I enjoyed this video so much. Your Mom is a natural on camera. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 💕~Donna
Thank you so much! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Exactly my thoughts. Like Mom like daughter
Think you mom should start doing TH-cam about her cooking how she does it
I miss my mom so very much. She and I did all the Holliday shopping, prep, baking and cooking together every Holliday. She passed on to the other side 17 yrs ago. Hollidays sure are not the same. Love and blessings for you, your mom and your beautiful family. I rewatch your videos of your Holliday meals that you and your mom do and it brings me back to my beautiful memories. Thank you so very much! 💗🦋🥰🙏
Same here😞
So sorry for your loss.
I too lost my mom 8 years ago, we too did so much together, sadly in the end she lost memory. No matter how old you get to be, I am 73 and I still wish she were here especially this time of year.
All the best to you and yours.
I also love watching Acre Homestead.🌷
My parents have both passed away. Way too soon. Watching your videos warms my heart and reminds me of the fun we used to have eating, laughing, and loving. It’s so nice to see your family enjoying the simple pleasures.♥️♥️♥️
❤❤❤❤ my parents also died to young I know how you feel I send you love
Oh, you just got me for life when your family circled & prayed + your father called on the healer to touch gizmo's body.
Also, it brought tears to my eyes to watch you & your mother lovingly work together in the kitchen as a team, even having fun!
Your Mom’s face at the end of this video feeding her grand baby is just Thanksgiving summed up in a smile 💕

This video is an amazing lesson on how to throw any kind of event or party. It's pure gold. Also, the naughty look on your mom's face when you were looking for sugar for the cranberry salsa was priceless. You guys make an amazing team, hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Love from Argentina as always.
I think for as long as you choose to be a TH-camr, I will watch, primarily because I so appreciate that when something doesn't turn out just right, YOU STILL SHARE IT. I love that! Real home cooks have things that don't turn out perfectly and they get to learn from that. I mean, don't get me wrong...you get much more right and much more right than I do, but it was encouraging to see real life results. Makes me less fearful of trying. Thank you so much for sharing things like your rolls that are slightly less than spectacular.
Your mum is the sweetest! I wish I had a mum like her, she has so much patience and you can just see how much love she has for you when you are together.
Happy holidays from Scotland
I feel you girl, I didn't had parents and even thou I have a daughter it still sucks not having parents but specially a wonderful sweet mom like Becky's, they are blessed to have each other because Becky is also an amazing daughter helping her mom so much!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!🦃🍂🍁✌🏻
Your mom is a freaking genius doing the recipes on cabinets. I put lists on mine. I love the painters tape idea. It is also good for taping garments together for sewing.
Hey thanks for that tip Ellen
@@nancybest5786 you're welcome! It is the best if you have to sew.
I LOVE your mom and watching you two together. We cooked with our mother alot the same way and we lost her the end of July at 94 years old and it has been REALLY hard to get in the holiday spirit. Happy Holidays.
I think your mom did great on the video - first time I've seen her. I really like how organized you both are and that what you do makes so much sense. A lot of people fly by the seat of their pants and that doesn't work for me -- I sometimes get roasted for being organized but doesn't stop me. Just nice to see others that plan ahead.
Got to say...I cried when I saw the family gathered at the table and praying. Not enough people pray anymore. This should be a daily practice. Nice family Becky. Beautiful gathering and good looking food.
Eating specific foods just once (or twice) a year is a way to keep it special and prevents it from become mundane.
Happy holidays
Great point!!
Exactly,I’am from South Carolina we call it dressing.❤️🙋🏽♀️
The highlight of this was your mother's funny shower story about the jalapeños! I shouldn't laugh🤣🤣🤣,you make a great team,I really enjoyed this,I've just discovered a catering company nearby that preps the veg for Christmas dinner,I'm seriously considering paying someone else to do it for me 🤗
Your mom's organizational skills are professional level. Watching this has just helped me kick it up a notch. Love love love your videos!
Your mom for president, that woman has got everything under control 👌
I see where you learned your organization and high energy from your mom. You two are like a fine oiled machine and your love for what you do. Amazing
I made that Cranberry salsa that you made for friends giving. It was a huge hit, thanks Becky!!
Ditto!
I made it as well for Thanksgiving. I will definitely make it again! Thank you for the recipe!
I can’t wait to try this!
How do you serve? What do you dip in it?
@@deeharbin4230 I just used regular tortilla chips.
Wonderful watching you and your Mom working together so seamlessly! Believe me, far too many of us are envious. Just a tip for piecrust, freeze the butter then grate it. Easier to incorporate into the flour.
Great tip! Hugs❤️
I never freeze mine and it works great for me when I'm mixing it (:
I love that your mom is so involved! It was so cute when she said being the camera person was fun!!
I love that your dad prayed for your dog! Bringing all things to the throne of grace.
I’m hosting a really big dinner this year and this is such a smart way to do things, I’m going to apply it to my prepping/cooking as well!
This is the BEST video on the entire internet!!!! Thanksgiving was at the beginning of October up here, BUT this Christmas I WILL be following all your advice. Please give a big thankyou to your mom from me too.
I LOVE the bond you and your mother have , I can feel the genuine LOVE with ALL your family ❤
I saw 50 mins and a picture of you and mom and I put my daughter to bed, made tea and settled in lolol. Love it thanks Becky, it all looked so yum and I love love the organised prep and cook, your mom is just lovely, such a pleasure xxxx
I watch all your videos, and you've inspired me to get gardening.
I just wanted to say I also have a fur baby named Gizmo. He's 13 years old and is nearing the end of his life. Going deaf and blind, has trouble going up and down steps. When I hear you talk about your Gizmo, I think of my baby. He is the first pet my husband and I got when we started dating.
I don't get to spend Hollidays with my family so this was an absolute treasure. Thank you for letting us come along and share this special day with you and your family. 🥰
I just started watching this ... I *should* be in my kitchen prepping dinner, but instead, I am going to watch you while I eat some lunch ... it's just my DD and me, so I don't have a crowd to prepare for. Thank you for inspiring. I miss my family, and find this to be an enjoyable substitute for now. 💖
Seeing how organized you two are makes me really excited to take some of your tips and apply them to my next holiday meal! Less time spent cooking the day of and less stress sounds fantastic!
Yay! Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Loved this video. Not only was it helpful in seeing how you both prepare the meal, but you gave me a sense of belonging and being a part of it all. Thank you.
Kathie Ryan here :) Thank you for sharing your family time with us and seeing/listening to your Dad pray while you all held hands was the highlight for me. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you!!!!
Becky , l love that you call mom, my mom l am an older woman and to me that is pride, respectful and love. I am really loving all of your shows. You are a great chef and cook. Keep it up Becky and Mom.
I miss my Mom. So heartwarming to see the great relationship you and your Mom share with each other. Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️
It’s so nice to see mum and daughter cooking together happy thanks giving
Years ago on my first trip to Oregon I saw a Marion berry pie on a menu. I've lived in the DC area most of my life and could not fathom why a pie would be named after our crazy mayor (Marion Barry). My nephew educated me 😁 and I have to laugh every time I hear it now. Happy Thanksgiving to your lovely family!
Crackhead pie 🤣
Haha
I LOVE putting the recipes on the cupboard! Best idea ever!
This was my 1st Thanksgiving without my mom, it was probably the worst day I've had since she passed.
I need to use some of you and your mama's tips to keep everything together for next year. My mom was 68 and had it all organized in her head and kept us on track that way.
Thank you for sharing and give your mom a hug.
This year will be my 2nd without mine. Our mama's are guiding us in spirit.
You ladies had a lot accomplished in one day, what a feast!!! just watching you both made me tired. I love your mom ❤
OMG what a beautiful family ❤️ I just finished watching and I can't stop thinking that your kindness, Becky, is a testament of all this love!
Oh I miss family gatherings! ☹️ My kids are now grown and live all over and we don't spend Thanksgiving together anymore so I usually spend it alone. You and your mom are fantastic in the kitchen and everything looked and sounded really good! Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving. Loved the video! 🥰
Your mom has provided me with a new set of goals for my momlife. Thanks for sharing another slice of your life with us. You are so genuine and sweet, I love it!
Your mom has crazy organizational skills, I see where you get it. Great idea to put the directions on the cabinet doors!! Your mom is a natural in front of the camera. Thank Your parents for having us in their home, everything looks amazing!!!
The way your Mom keeps leaning in to talk to the camera as if we can’t see her unless she does is so dang cute lol
I buy Stove top stuffing by the case from Costco. I get two cs which last me one year. I sauté celery, onion and garlic in the butter (amount recommended on the pkg). Add some poultry seasoning for that extra holiday flavoring. Then toss in bread crumbs and cook as directed. Every time we go to Costco or Sam’s Club, we get 1 or 2 rotisserie chickens. I always fix Stove Top and pull out cranberry sauce from the freezer or a can from the pantry. So yes, you can enjoy stuffing all year long. 🥰🥰
YUM!! Happy Thanksgiving!!
I do that too. Hugs❤️
Such a wonderful family :) I got all choked up when Gizmo was added into the prayer. Xoxo. Ty for sharing all this.
I didn't hear ... what's wrong with Gizmo?
I love the way your mother works, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree ; ) I can realy enjoy watching a good oraganized food prepping. Just found your channel and love it! I also make deepfreeze dinners but on a smaller scale because i only have room for one freezer and no garden. Have a great thanksgiving and lots of love from The Netherlands!
This is the second time I have watched this video! I love your family!
Ahhhh, I love your moms spacious kitchen/counters! You’re so lucky to have a great relationship with your mom. My mom is great, but cooking/baking is NOT her favorite thing to do with me. Love your channel! God bless you and your family! Dee
Although we don't have thanksgiving in my country this video made me start planning Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals - we don't have cranberries here, so our seasonal fruits of choice are mangoes, cherries, pineapple, passionfruit, and stonefruits. Whatever else see have will definitely include stuffing which is different to the American version and lots of seafood like crayfish/lobster, prawns etc! I hope Gizmo is doing better and lots of buttons were undone after the meal - Happy Thanksgiving for today as well!
Sounds like Christmas in Australia!
Such a heart warming video of the all the prep n meals prepared for Thanksgiving. What an amazing pair u both are Becky. Its easy to see now where u get all ur talent from. Mum looked so beautiful all dressed up for the day. U have an awesome mum n family. All the best.
Thank you for this video! My mom and I almost mirror the exact traditions and I loved seeing the victories and the follies along the way...very much in the spirit of Julia Child. I prayed right along w/ ur family and thank you for opening the door to all of us!❤️
I love seeing you and your mom or you and your sister work in the kitchen. You’re both extremely friendly and warm and loving. I almost feel like I’m there enjoying the holiday or celebration with you gals! Thank you for sharing your special moments with us. I got hooked on watching Homestead TH-cam videos when I was in the hospital. It was a great way to put your mind in a happy spot! When you drop something, break something, set off a smoke alarm🤣 and make a mess…. It just makes us feel more at home! My nurses wanted to know what I was smiling at when watching my phone, lol. Thank you Becky, and thank your mom and sister. Also thank your husband for allowing us into your home and being a part of it too!
Keep up the good work👍!
I loved how many things I gleaned from you & your mom sharing your information with us! Best was you sharing prayer. It immediately brought tears to my eyes. The world is changing at such a fast pace so, it is nice to see other brothers and sisters share their love in the Lord. Something we share in common. It is such a rare but treasured thing.
Your parents are delightful! Thanks for all of the things you showed us--you're a natural teacher.
OMG! I LOOOOVE how super organised your mum is. Pining recipes and checklists to the cupboards? Genius! I am doing that this Christmas. Love to you both from Nottingham, UK
Om gosh, I thought my mother was the only person who put tags in her serving dishes. She also had a mini notepad that she wrote everything on. She too went backwards from time wanted to eat. Great moms think alike!!
You are my people, we just haven’t met yet! You remind me of my self (20 years ago!) and you’ve reignited my passions for gardening and preserving and organizing that I’d lost over the years. May your life be blessed with fresh air and bountiful harvests!
I love watching you in the kitchen with your mother, mother-in-law and sister. Growing up, I did not get along so well with my mother in the kitchen. And now, my daughter doesn't allow me in the kitchen with her when she's cooking, so we never cook together. Watching you lovingly work together really touches my heart.
Ohhh Becky, thank you so very much for letting us join you as you prepare your Thanksgiving feast! I really appreciate it because of the memories it brings me cooking with my dear Mom! We used to have wonderful feasts too although we were 100% LESS organized than you two! Everybody's gone now and it's just me here so I picked up dinner at a restaurant and watched your terrific video! You are an inspiration!! I hope your sweet Gizmo is all better now! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones and to everyone who watches this channel!! Hugs!
I hope you still had a lovely thanksgiving.
Thanks a lot for this video. I dont do Thanksgiving here in my country (France), but I felt like I was part of your wonderful family during the video and it made me feel really happy. Have a nice Thanksgiving Becky, thank you for the joy you're bringing to people through your videos !❤
I have so much in common with you Becky! I worked in Dental Hygiene for over 10 yrs (recently had a child so now I am home with her), I love to cook, working towards homesteading, my family has had natural/organic practices since I was a child, I love to be thoroughly educated on interesting topics, I am a perfectionist, I am a total klutz in the kitchen, I care deeply about others, I could go on and on but it just blows my mind every time I learn something about you in a video and can relate so much. I love your videos! Please never stop!
My dad passed away on 2019, we used to prepare Christmas meal together, so I really enjoy watching your family having fun and relaxing in this special day. Hugs from south Italy
I love watching your vlogs! I devour them as I do housework, especially while I’m doing dishes. I have a windowsill in front of my sink where I set my phone on its holder, then I put on the noise cancel of my earpods, so the sound of water from my faucet doesn’t drown out the audio. Your long vlogs are my favorite because by the time your video is finished my work in the kitchen is done, too. I like you because you are really knowledgeable in the kitchen, not just someone making instagramable dishes!
Happy Thanksgiving! I did all my cooking yesterday and my 12 year old baked 3 pies so now my oven is heating up everything that needs to be heated . Thankful for you!
I love this!! Thank you for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Your Mum is so organised! I loved listening to her make up the rubs, she is so passionate, it’s like she’s announcing the bingo numbers with each spice :) great inspiring teamwork!!!
I think stuffing is everyone's favourite side BECAUSE we only have it once a year. When we eat it, it reminds us that we have gathered with good friends or family, at the BEST time of the year. We don't get sick of it because we don't eat it often.
I have it every week with Sunday roast and it’s still my favourite dish.
“Always use the full head of garlic and the full bunch of cilantro.” Yep, absolutely!! Love this video. So fun to watch you and your mom prepare.
You and your mom make a great team! It is good to see how well ya’ll get along, even during stressful times like prepping for a big holiday meal…
I think the reason the favorite Thanksgiving dish is the dressing/stuffing is because people only have it once a year. As a child, we only had it once a year, and it was my favorite. Now I make it about 8 times per year. It's no longer my favorite dish on Thanksgiving. 🥰 Happy Thanksgiving to the Acre Homestead family!
This is why I refuse to make Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter more than these times. It the same meal 3 times a year.
Your mom is so organized! I would love to see her do a pantry and kitchen tour! I bet it is totally organized! 🤩 We do make stuffed pork loin with herb stuffing, olives, feta cheese, and figs when ever my figs ripen on the trees every year!! Its kind of a tradition now lol.
Unbelievably relaxing in your organization that has clearly been passed down for generations. Beautifully a labor of love
I just found your channel a few days ago and love it! Enjoyed watching you and your mom working ❤️ together! Learned some awesome ideas to streamline our holiday time in the kitchen. My mom passed when I was 19 and dad passed 3 years later. I am the oldest girl and I had to take the lead for holidays. It was many years ago that I lost my folks and had to learn so many things on my own, as I am now 64, married with 4 married kids and 16 grandchildren, so when we all get together, their are 26 of us. Thanks for sharing your and your mom's knowledge with your subscribers!
I loved watching you cook with your Mom! Until last year, we always did Thanksgiving with my family and Christmas with the Hubby’s. We always spent the whole weekend with Mom and Dad and we all cooked and had a blast. My Hubby ended up with a new job in 2020 in a different State, so we haven’t been able to spend the holidays with the family since. I lived vicariously through you, today! 🥰
Thank you for sharing your family's celebration 💖 I hope you had a wonderful time together.
In the UK, we eat stuffing throughout the year because in most households it's traditional on Sundays to have roast meat & veg for lunch or dinner.
Regarding stuffing, I always make a huge batch, usually 4x the amount and then freeze several individual servings so I can have it with different meals, it doesn’t always have to be eaten with poultry, when I reheat it, I usually just add a small amount of my home made broth that I freeze in ice cube trays for small servings such as this
I who am 70 now am learning so much from your videos. Better late than never
You are so generous with your time and the food you grow and prepare thank you so much blessings to you and your family
How blessed you are to have a wonderful family and the cooking tradition with Mum !! I am living for it .. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving !! We don't have that holiday in Australia but I really wish we did .. It is hot here right now though so our table would look completely different .. still .. I love the sentiment. Hugs xx
i also love watching you make everything from scratch!! so many youtube vids are all about jars and packets and convenience. its nice to see whole real food. you're awesome :D
I love the organization your mom has from grocery list to table. My family doesn't do Thanksgiving since mom died, they just do their own things. Christmas is never on Dec 25th, but we do get together, but we never have a sit down meal, it's usually finger food or gumbo. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone & God Bless you all. 💜
I was so happy and sad at the same time to watch this video. It sure made me miss my Mom even more... This is what we would do together, I miss her so much.... You two work so well together, and watching y'all made it very enjoyable... Thank you for sharing....
I lost my mom when I was six, love watching you and your mother together. I imagine this would be my life if she wasn't taken from me. Enjoy every minute together ❤️
I love watching you two work together! ❤ when I could eat gluten, I kept homemade stuffing seasoning mix in a jar on the pantry. It had dried minced onion, dried celery flakes (dried celery leaves), dried sage, thyme and parsley. I would dry the heels of loaves of bread cut into cubes and throw it in a bag in the pantry. It's a carb thing!!
Happy Thanksgiving Becky! You and your mom are so precious, I feel like I’m in the kitchen with y’all as I’m trying to finish up all my cooking, bless you. ❤️
Aw thank you! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Your organization is awesome! The way you have your recipes setup near where you'll be preparing and putting Post-its in platters, is genius. You both seem so calm and just doing the next needed thing, it's so nice to watch. You make a great team in the kitchen!.
Now I see why you are so such skillful in the kitchen, your beautiful Mom was a great example.
I loved this video ! You can feel the love from your family and the organization tips were so helpful !! I have heard of prepping food ahead of time but it was so helpful to see it in action . I also loved to see you and your mom cooking together ! I can wait to try this :)
Thanks for bringing us with you while you cooked and baked with your mom. I'm away at graduate school right now really missing my own mama, and this gave me a little taste of that feeling of being home, cooking and chatting with her. Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you for taking the time to make this video ! It's really inspiring !
For the pumpkin pie, to make it even easier you can make your pumpkin puree ahead by simply cutting it in half and baking it in the oven at 350°F (cut side down) for 40-60 min. Then I just keep it in the freezer and take it out the day before or in the morning.
Is that really all pumpkin puree is? To make it too, just cut in half, put facedown on pan & roast. Thats it?!? Lol. All this darn time ive wasted, wishing to find canned pumpkin puree & i couldve made it, sigh smh. Lol.
@@sarahmellouk3754 i thought the exact same thing when I found out about this hack. I just make a bunch of pumpkin when it’s the season and then I have pumpkin puree for the rest of the year. If the puree is too runny, you just have to put it in a strainer and let the extra moisture drip. I freeze it flat in a ziplock bag.
Felt the same when I realised oat milk was just oats blended with water, applesauce was pureed steamed apple chunks.
And now pumpkin puree has also been demystified, thanks to you!
@@sarahmellouk3754 Indeed, then add the appropriate spices for the pie filling to that puree and put it into a pie shell and you have pie, once you've baked it. This way, you aren't having to cut, deseed, then bake before it gets pureed and can lessen the rush/stress of baking a lot of things in one day. It's amazing how many things you can do parts of the day before, or at times, weeks before and simply freeze, and one of those is the pie dough if not mistaken, just wrap in Saran Wrap, then into a freezer bag and freeze, once you make into a "hockey puck" shape before wrapping, or simply lay it on plastic wrap, then grab the plastic and form the pucks with it before wrapping up, saves a step there.
This was so entertaining! Your Mom and you work so well together in the kitchen! Then it was a pleasure to see your Dad and sister chip in too! Good food and family…truly a blessing! Happy Thanksgiving….👋 from 🇨🇦
This was wonderful even a year old. Seeing a family enjoy each other and food is wonderful. That is what family and holidays are for. Enjoyed this very much. Such a nice family.
Wow girl...now i see where u got this energy from...u inherited it from your beautiful mom...she's so energetic and well organized too...the two of u are such a blessing to your family...i hope the know and appreciate that
This video made my day. I spent Thanksgiving day by myself, but watching this video made my sadness go away. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. ❤❤❤
