Becky, my baby just had his first birthday last week and it made me think about your baby too. I just wanted to say, I really respect that you don’t post them all over the internet. I keep my baby private also to keep him safe. You are a great woman, mom, and wife. Your family is so blessed to have you ❤
A tip my chef father-in-law taught me: when you want to scrape stuff off the cutting board with your knife, use the back of your knife so it stays sharper longer. Thank you for your videos--I have watched so many of them since finding your channel. You give me inspiration for meals and cooking
Becky, I got orzo to make the last chicken meal, but the link you shared doesn't lead to the correct recipe. You laid it out well enough in the video that I can follow that, but thought you should know!
Becky, you are the chef version of Mr. Rogers for me. I mean that with the highest compliment. You have such a gentleness and kindness about you. I wish we were real life friends! I can’t wait to try some of these recipes! Thanks for all your time that you put into these videos. 😊
I have to say that I love the “wait for it “ moment when the Becky Big Brown Eyed Seal of Approval occurs. I am not 😊trying to be patronizing. It is just such a truly nice event during these troubled times in the world.
Girl, every time I see you have uploaded another video, I am literally shocked. You are killing it, I always get so excited when I see youve posted another video. But with your young family, large garden, extended family events and just life in general, I am always shocked that your able to pump out so much content. Please know I appreciate your videos, thank you for sharing with us.
ONE MINUTE IM WATCHING YOUR VIDEO NEXT MINUTE IM MAKING A CORN CHOWDER SOUP ....😮 AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW IM EATING A DELICIOUSLY TASTY SOUP !!! thanks for being great Becky❤😅
I love that you use the mixing spoon to drizzle some sauce onto your tasting spoon to prevent double dipping, even if you’re only making food for the family. This awareness is lacking in so many other cooking videos I’ve seen where the meal is made for friends and ppl not in the household.
My family has a roster of about forty quick dinners that we really enjoy, and have found that really useful over the years. So I think you're doing something really good for your little family to develop such a wide range of meals that you can make quickly --- you'll be able to feed them frugal, nutritious meals that taste woderful. And that is a great act of service for your family. Well done, Becky!
I like to add the oil from the sundried tomatoes in as half the fat to cook the rest in. So half the butter and replace with a couple tablespoons of the sundried tomato oil to cook onions and chicken in. I also add a little garlic when the chicken is almost done
Becky, and easy dinner you should check out is a Scottish recipe called "Mince and Tatties", which is a ground beef, onion, carrot and gravy one-pan dish served over mashed potatoes. It is my family's new favourite meal. It comes together in about 30 minutes, and is delicious and thrifty. It is absolutely loaded dwith flavor. You and Josh would love it. There are lots of recipes online for it, since almost every Scottish family has their own slightly different version of it, it seems.
My great grandmother immigrated over from Scotland and we try to make recipes to keep their heritage alive. I just looked up a recipe and will definitely be making mince and tatties!
I like how efficiently you film and splice your videos so that we get them more often without being overwhelming for you (hopefully)😊. I imagine it takes lots of planning. Thank you Becky.
I love how you change things and adapt to what you have on hand . Also show sometimes you make a mistake with ingredients. The best part is it all works out in the end and is delicious.
I made the garlic chicken gnocchi tonight for supper and....yeah.... it's going into the regular meal rotation! Deeeeelish! 👌 Thank you for sharing it, sister!
I love the recipe. I just had to add, you have so many followers or subscribers and yet you make each of us feel as if we were your guest in your home on a one to one. that is so sweet thank you for all you do.
Becky, you truly are an inspiration. I’m newly retired and I’ve never gotten into cooking or gardening. This year’s garden didn’t do as well as I was hoping but hopefully, with your inspiration, it’ll be better next year. But I was able to make tomato soup from the garden, which was delicious! I’m learning so many things from you, especially enjoying how to freeze meals and vegetables for later use. Thank you for teaching us all so much. From an inspired neighbor in Gresham, Jules 😊
Welcome to the gardening club! It’s addictive and I find myself saying, “it’s an experiment “ just like Becky, lol. I take the small wins and the rest as a learning experience. 😂
I love those big brown eyed confirmations. You know it’s good when you see that expression on your face. You’re adorable! I love all your ideas. You’re doing an amazing job helping your viewers. Thank you for your service. 🥰
The last recipe is right up my alley! Thanks. I think maybe adding a can of diced Italian tomatoes along with the peas would be delicious. I also have a similar recipe for a side dish using orzo cooked in the same fashion. Then adding parm and basil at the end. 😋
Woman! You are adorable. I so love how you speak and show the reality of cooking and gardening. It always has something unexpected and you keep right on going. Even when something isn’t really good, you admit it and adjust. You are so real. Love those big eyes of approval your get. Makes me smile every time. Well done young woman.
I agree with you on Onion in everything! I have kept diced onions in my freezer for years and I love how easy that makes all my meals!! I finally invested in a veggie chopper from Amazon to help with the days I come home from Costco with a lot of onions!
@@carolinaburgosaguilar1494 I have the Mueller 4 blade veggie chopper. its so great and makes dinner prep so quick and I love that its dishwasher safe!
I make homemade hamburger helper often. I sometimes put some of my homemade taco seasoning in it while it's cooking, and then top it with taco toppings.....chopped tomatoes , salsa, sour cream, and grated cheese. To make this even easier I brown about 10 pounds of ground beef with onions, garlic and salt and pepper and freeze 3 cups( close to 1 lb) of the mixture in bags. Super simple to pull a bag out and use in hamburger helper, tacos, spaghetti sauce, shepherds pie, etc. I have only recently discovered your channel and am loving all the videos. Thanks so much.
The hamburger helper recipe was delicious. I didn’t have any sour cream so I substituted with some cream cheese and it worked beautifully. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our supper tonight. ❤
This could not have come at a better time. I am a PhD student in the final stretch and take out has been an unhealthy staple in my household because I have been struggling to get meals sorted for my husband and I. These recipes are super simple, quick and straight forward, I am going to give all of 'em a try! Thank you Becky for being awesome as always! :D
Tons of stuff on the internet to find instead of take out! Glad you are switching over! It took me a while to get in board and now take out is disgusting! Also, much cleaner since you washed and cleaned your own kitchen 😂❤❤❤
I tried using the link to the garlic chicken orzon and it takes me to the garlic chicken gnocchi skillet site. i really wanted to print this and pass it on to my 17 year old daughter who loves to cook. and also there is no link posted for the curry ramen recipe. thank you becky for everything you post. i am going to be getting my own place with my boyfriend hopefully next year and I am looking for some good recipes as well as preservation guidance to help me once we are in our own space. keep up with the great content and take care.
Becky, thank you for this video. I do this most of the time. It's just my husband and me. I'm older and don't always feel like making a big mess in the kitchen. When I feel good, I will make up large dishes, divide them up into one portion servings and freeze them. But the idea of just having a pan, or two, is much better for me to handle. Love your channel. ❤
A long time ago I ran across a recipe called cheeseburger chowder which is basically potato soup with ground beef and the recipe called for American cheese. I'm not a fan of American cheese so I used cheddar and my family loves it. The recipe also called to thicken the soup with flour/water mixture, but my sister showed me a cheat by thickening with potato flakes instead. It's super fast and easy and a family favorite. I'm sure the original recipe called for other things to ramp up the cheeseburger flavor, but after all these years I don't remember 😂. I've used a variety of different things to tweak the flavor, sometimes spicy 🔥, sometimes savory. I've used venison, hot sausage, chicken. A cheesy potato soup base is an awesome start to a warm comforting supper.😊❤
Did the gnocchi skillet meal, used sausage instead of chicken. I had two bak choy and a can of Italian tomatoes with zucchini for the veggies. Just a bit of parmesan cheese for the mozarella. It was incredible! And so fast and easy. Definitely a keeper in our meal rotation. Becky you are such an inspiration, you have refreshed my love to experiment and cook again!
I keep quartered lemons and limes in a bag in my freezer, so that I always have them on hand. The go a little softer when thawed but if you’re just using them to squeeze on food they’re fine.
Another important note about the homemade hamburger helper is that making it homemade reduces the sodium dramatically. The boxed version has like 1,000 mg. of sodium or something per serving! Other than cooking with fresh ingredients, you don't mention much about cooking for health reasons, but reducing the sodium is terrific! I love your creativity and confidence to add ingredients not in the original recipes. Your willingness to experiment gives me incentive to do the same.
What a nice variety of recipes you've chosen for this video! The hamburger helper is a great family meal. Economical, delicious and no crazy chemicals and additives that come in the commercial version. If you want to change it up even more, use some canned tomatoes in it.
I absolutely love how the pups materialize out of nowhere the minute you open the cheese! 😆 Thanks for sharing these great meals with us, and for suggesting substitutions and additions. Great, great ideas and the execution is terrific. I had to go get a snack while I was watching! 🥨😁
I wasn't just watching her videos I was actually recreating and eating them but ketofied instead of all the high carbs pasta has though. But I got the ideas from Acre Homestead Becky.
What a beautiful fall view outside your kitchen window. Inspiration for some tasty comfort meals. I love your cooking, canning, and baking videos. The new house is coming along very nicely! I look forward to your holiday videos and videos of your home improvement endeavors!
Neat trick I learned from an Italian chef to make a stainless steel pan nonstick: Heat the dry pan until a drop of water rolls off the surface. Then add your oil (if using butter, turn down the heat immediately after adding it). Let the oil heat up before proceeding with your cooking.
I've been making 30min dinners with some of the recipes I've been watching you make:) I made chicken corn chowder the other day with a freezer prep I had made containing chicken, carrots, onion, garlic, and caelery seed. I had planned to use it for chicken noodle soup, but had a lot of canned creamed corn on hand, so I added a couple cans of that and some homemade chicken broth. Yummy! Also, made peanut butter chicken with broccoli and a side of sauted bok choy day before yesterday after watching you do a freezer meal prep for peanut butter chicken. It's one of my mom's favorite meals. She was in the Navy and stationed in Hong Kong in the 80s and used to make a lot of Asian food while I was growing up. I took some of the chicken over to her house for her to try. She said it was amazing:) Just finished making 6 loaves of pumpkin bread that I put in the freezer and made a huge batch of tomato-cheddar biscuits that I froze the dough for later baking after watching you do it. So, THANK YOU for all the inspiration!!!
My family loves homemade helper. I add some flour to the beef and onions b4 adding the liquids to make a thicker sauce. We like Italian herbs and 8oz of tomato sauce with the broth. Finish with cream and shredded cheese 😋
I love watching these recipes, but it's really hard to reproduce them here because dairy products are just so expensive in Brazil. No way I can buy a block of parmesan cheese to shred it myself. I will still watch all of those, though hahaha Becky's the best!
I am so proud of myself that I thought of adding frozen peas to the last recipe too! It shows I'm doing well if I can think of things at the same time as you do! I love this channel. Your ability to cook is something I really admire. You and Josh must eat incredibly well all the time!
The ramen red curry "stew" is one of the most sophisticated dishes you have ever shared. Thank you so much! The toppings are to die for. Loved the comparison to restaurant pricing, too. That recipe is a quick and easy gem.
Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into creating such amazing content for us for free! I deeply appreciate you sharing these recipes. I adore cooking but only when I have time to make things I enjoy (typically anything I haven’t already made), so it’s nice to have some quick one pot meals to get dinner on the table when I’m messing around making homemade ravioli, breads, etc. This is my first time on your channel and I’m now subscribed and will be sure to never miss a video. An added bonus is that you’re such a lovely, down to earth person; never lose this, your personality makes your videos all the more enjoyable. As an Australian, I love a down to earth personality. I can’t wait to watch all your videos now. 😊🙏💕
Try adding can of diced tomatoes to the homemade hamburger helper....so amazing! My mom made this all the time when I was a child, and I've continued to make it, too. It's a recipe that is quick, easy, versitile, and delicious.
Hi Becky! I’m new to your channel and just love it! If only I were young again! 😊And had your energy too! So I’ve been binge watching and just love your recipes and all the convenient ways you prepare ahead! I saw your garlic video earlier and I’m going to go to Sam's Club and buy some pre peeled garlic and process as you do in your food processor and then freeze. I love that idea! I saw another channel that freezes her limes and lemons after she washes them. She says they zest so much easier and she ends up with a lot more juice as well. So I’m going to try that as well so that I can always have citrus for cooking available. I also thought you might want to try it out too considering your style of cooking. Thanks so much for all the recipes and tips! You’re the best! I'm so glad I found you! I love your personality too! 😊💕
The variety of recipes you have in this video is great! Something for everyone. They all look so good, usually I'll watch videos and there would be only 1 or two that look good but these ALL look good! That curry noodles especially, my mouth was watering watching you make that 😆😋
Jalepeno cheddar sourdough would go really well with that corn chowder. Ballerina farms sells sourdough starter in powder form. Goulash is also a great one pot meal.
Loving these meal videos!!! I’m stuck cooking the same old things, so it’s so exciting to have someone else try them first & let us know how they taste. Thank you 😊
Great job as always Becky! I do the peppers, onion and celery and cheese in my corn chowder and your right the cheese makes all the difference! I make a new recipe almost every night, not that I don’t make it again at some point, especially if we really like it. However, I usually change up any recipe to suit our tastebuds. It is just myself and my special needs 32 year old granddaughter and she loves my cooking so I am always trying to keep it interesting. I do have a different theme every night of the week but hardly ever the same recipe twice, except for our holidays!
Everything looks so good, as usual! I am especially excited to make the corn chowder. I love when it’s soup weather! Thank you for another great video!
I loved this video! I like your ideas for minimizing mess and dishes. Although I don't mind cooking messes (I am really good at making them!) sometimes it is so helpful to have go-to recipes that are minimal mess. Hey, Becky, that would make a great name for a video of 5 recipes--Minimal Mess!
My mom used to make corn chowder all the time because it was a super cheap meal to make. It's one of my favorite dishes my mom made us. Brings back memories every time I make it.
Hello Becky....always enjoy your energy and your dishes . I've done some of your freezer meals...I love how easy they are. Plus they are so nice when you need a meal for family going through something
Hey Becky! Great recipes! For more options of long term storage and ease of cooking- celery, carrots, grated cheese, and corn all freeze dry and reconstitute amazingly well! I’m using my freezer for meats this season and freeze drying everything else and it’s working great for me. Might give you more space for your freezer meals! 😍
Can confirm that we love our freeze dried sweet corn! My mom doesn't like freezing or canning corn, but the freeze drying makes one incredible product. Occasionally my dad has been known to eat a handful or five like candy. :D
Becky, my baby just had his first birthday last week and it made me think about your baby too. I just wanted to say, I really respect that you don’t post them all over the internet. I keep my baby private also to keep him safe. You are a great woman, mom, and wife. Your family is so blessed to have you ❤

Makes sense
I like keeping a bench scraper handy!
Agreed. But I don’t have a knife sharpener like she does, either!?
I am sooooo sick of my own cooking. I really appreciate all of your ideas and I'm ready to get back to the kitchen.
Thank you for saying gnocchi correctly 👍
Becky, I got orzo to make the last chicken meal, but the link you shared doesn't lead to the correct recipe. You laid it out well enough in the video that I can follow that, but thought you should know!

I love this comment so much! You’re spot on!!
I have to say that I love the “wait for it “ moment when the Becky Big Brown Eyed Seal of Approval occurs. I am not 😊trying to be patronizing. It is just such a truly nice event during these troubled times in the world.

She's the Annie Elise of the true crime world. Check her out
@@Sandi-zh2wx Lol I get that.
Why don't you buy shredded cheese instead of grating it.
Your eyes when tasting are adorable! I hope your husband appreciates you girl!
She has a true enjoyment for making good food! It's her love language!❤
I enjoy how she is thoughtful about her meals! Happy New Year Becky!🎉
ONE MINUTE IM WATCHING YOUR VIDEO NEXT MINUTE IM MAKING A CORN CHOWDER SOUP ....😮 AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW IM EATING A DELICIOUSLY TASTY SOUP !!! thanks for being great Becky❤😅
I love that you use the mixing spoon to drizzle some sauce onto your tasting spoon to prevent double dipping, even if you’re only making food for the family. This awareness is lacking in so many other cooking videos I’ve seen where the meal is made for friends and ppl not in the household.
As someone who eats mostly plant-based, I really appreciate you showcasing recipes that can be adapted to a vegan or vegetarian diet. Thank you!
Same here!! As I watch her recipes I am always thinking of how I can adapt them to work for us 😊 always an inspiration!
The “hamburger helper” is really good with chopped mushrooms instead of the beef! I make it all the time ❤
I, too, have tried many of her recipes and conformed them to our plant based diet! So fun!
I was just confused when she said this was for vegetarians and then uses chicken broth. Also the thai curry pastes are not vegetarian
Me too 😊
Goulash is another dish that cooks in one pot. So hearty and packed with flavor. A favorite around here and so easy
Im fairly new to your channel, and i just want you to know your one of the sweetest daughter, wife, mom, and friend i have ever met❤

Would love to see you feeding the scraps to the chickens ❤
It is SO FUN to watch a video of someone who loves to cook.
Enjoy the one pot dinners! 😊
If you use carrot, onion, and celery a lot, you can make a quart jar of dehydrated/ freeze dried mixture and then you have a quick soup starter!!!
My husband who loves soups said this is now his favorite soup. Delicious
Please take this as a compliment, your style reminds me of when I was a kid watch Mr. Rogers. You are so calm and relaxing for me. Thank you!
My husband hates cooked spinach. So I use Arugula instead. Works like a charm!

Add a smidge of Nutmeg to any Beef dish to really bring out that Beefy flavor.
Reserve a little of your broth to heat in the microwave to add to the coconut milk can to collect all that is left behind in the can. 😊

Becky, may I suggest roasted sweet potatoes instead of carrots? Curry and sweet potatoes go well together.
What a beautiful fall view outside your kitchen window. Inspiration for some tasty comfort meals. I love your cooking, canning, and baking videos. The new house is coming along very nicely! I look forward to your holiday videos and videos of your home improvement endeavors!
Neat trick I learned from an Italian chef to make a stainless steel pan nonstick: Heat the dry pan until a drop of water rolls off the surface. Then add your oil (if using butter, turn down the heat immediately after adding it). Let the oil heat up before proceeding with your cooking.
I've been making 30min dinners with some of the recipes I've been watching you make:)
I made chicken corn chowder the other day with a freezer prep I had made containing chicken, carrots, onion, garlic, and caelery seed. I had planned to use it for chicken noodle soup, but had a lot of canned creamed corn on hand, so I added a couple cans of that and some homemade chicken broth. Yummy!
Also, made peanut butter chicken with broccoli and a side of sauted bok choy day before yesterday after watching you do a freezer meal prep for peanut butter chicken. It's one of my mom's favorite meals. She was in the Navy and stationed in Hong Kong in the 80s and used to make a lot of Asian food while I was growing up. I took some of the chicken over to her house for her to try. She said it was amazing:)
Just finished making 6 loaves of pumpkin bread that I put in the freezer and made a huge batch of tomato-cheddar biscuits that I froze the dough for later baking after watching you do it.
So, THANK YOU for all the inspiration!!!
Everyone of these meals sounds like something I would love to try. Thank you for expanding my recipe rotation!
My family loves homemade helper. I add some flour to the beef and onions b4 adding the liquids to make a thicker sauce. We like Italian herbs and 8oz of tomato sauce with the broth. Finish with cream and shredded cheese 😋
I love watching these recipes, but it's really hard to reproduce them here because dairy products are just so expensive in Brazil. No way I can buy a block of parmesan cheese to shred it myself. I will still watch all of those, though hahaha Becky's the best!
Your very brave attempting new recipes on camera, good for you. New recipes is what we all do, I admire that in you, keeping it real ❤
I am so proud of myself that I thought of adding frozen peas to the last recipe too! It shows I'm doing well if I can think of things at the same time as you do! I love this channel. Your ability to cook is something I really admire. You and Josh must eat incredibly well all the time!
Becky, I so needed a video, today. My best friend is not doing well. I have been stressed and in shock. Thanks for the brightness you bring. ❤
I'm so sorry your bestie having a rough time my bestie and I been through it with each other... hugs for you both
Sorry about your bestie. Prayers for healing and strength.
Your eyes light up when you taste and love something. So expressive, it gives a great indication of how you feel about your creation.
The ramen red curry "stew" is one of the most sophisticated dishes you have ever shared. Thank you so much! The toppings are to die for. Loved the comparison to restaurant pricing, too. That recipe is a quick and easy gem.
Becky your an absolute star, thank you so very much for your videos always look forward to seeing them.. thanks again from Australia 🇦🇺. ❤🌺🌺
These all look so easy and very adaptable to whatever is in the pantry and refrigerator/freezer. Those are my favorite kinds of meals to make.
Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into creating such amazing content for us for free! I deeply appreciate you sharing these recipes. I adore cooking but only when I have time to make things I enjoy (typically anything I haven’t already made), so it’s nice to have some quick one pot meals to get dinner on the table when I’m messing around making homemade ravioli, breads, etc. This is my first time on your channel and I’m now subscribed and will be sure to never miss a video. An added bonus is that you’re such a lovely, down to earth person; never lose this, your personality makes your videos all the more enjoyable. As an Australian, I love a down to earth personality. I can’t wait to watch all your videos now. 😊🙏💕
Try adding can of diced tomatoes to the homemade hamburger helper....so amazing! My mom made this all the time when I was a child, and I've continued to make it, too. It's a recipe that is quick, easy, versitile, and delicious.
I love how you welcome everyone! You’re a beautiful soul, friend!
Hey Becky! Can you start rating your meals like these so we can know which one was your favorite? Love your Channel by the way!
Hi Becky! I’m new to your channel and just love it! If only I were young again! 😊And had your energy too! So I’ve been binge watching and just love your recipes and all the convenient ways you prepare ahead! I saw your garlic video earlier and I’m going to go to Sam's Club and buy some pre peeled garlic and process as you do in your food processor and then freeze. I love that idea! I saw another channel that freezes her limes and lemons after she washes them. She says they zest so much easier and she ends up with a lot more juice as well. So I’m going to try that as well so that I can always have citrus for cooking available. I also thought you might want to try it out too considering your style of cooking. Thanks so much for all the recipes and tips! You’re the best! I'm so glad I found you! I love your personality too! 😊💕
The variety of recipes you have in this video is great! Something for everyone. They all look so good, usually I'll watch videos and there would be only 1 or two that look good but these ALL look good! That curry noodles especially, my mouth was watering watching you make that 😆😋
I love the tops of the celery for tuna and egg salad sandwiches! Which would go great with my favorite corn chowder!!!!😀❤
Jalepeno cheddar sourdough would go really well with that corn chowder. Ballerina farms sells sourdough starter in powder form. Goulash is also a great one pot meal.
These recipes look delicious and realistic! Only 30 min is about all the time I really have. I would love to see more! Thank you!
Loving these meal videos!!! I’m stuck cooking the same old things, so it’s so exciting to have someone else try them first & let us know how they taste. Thank you 😊
I love watching your fur babies walk around the kitchen waiting on a handout. Sweet babies.
Great job as always Becky! I do the peppers, onion and celery and cheese in my corn chowder and your right the cheese makes all the difference! I make a new recipe almost every night, not that I don’t make it again at some point, especially if we really like it. However, I usually change up any recipe to suit our tastebuds. It is just myself and my special needs 32 year old granddaughter and she loves my cooking so I am always trying to keep it interesting. I do have a different theme every night of the week but hardly ever the same recipe twice, except for our holidays!
I love these style of videos!! Literally my favorite I get so excited when I see you post a new video💗
Everything looks so good, as usual! I am especially excited to make the corn chowder. I love when it’s soup weather! Thank you for another great video!
I loved this video! I like your ideas for minimizing mess and dishes. Although I don't mind cooking messes (I am really good at making them!) sometimes it is so helpful to have go-to recipes that are minimal mess. Hey, Becky, that would make a great name for a video of 5 recipes--Minimal Mess!
You can make your chicken gnocchi with shrimp and orzo as well
Thank you for these ideas! You’re one of my favor channels. I find your videos relaxing and informative. Love your sweet spirit!
My mom used to make corn chowder all the time because it was a super cheap meal to make. It's one of my favorite dishes my mom made us. Brings back memories every time I make it.
Hello Becky....always enjoy your energy and your dishes . I've done some of your freezer meals...I love how easy they are. Plus they are so nice when you need a meal for family going through something
Becky you do a great job. I love this channel.
Hey Becky! Great recipes! For more options of long term storage and ease of cooking- celery, carrots, grated cheese, and corn all freeze dry and reconstitute amazingly well! I’m using my freezer for meats this season and freeze drying everything else and it’s working great for me. Might give you more space for your freezer meals! 😍
Can confirm that we love our freeze dried sweet corn! My mom doesn't like freezing or canning corn, but the freeze drying makes one incredible product. Occasionally my dad has been known to eat a handful or five like candy. :D
