Better than any booties, blankets or toys...there is NOTHING better than a meal when a new baby comes home. What an incredibly thoughtful person you are, Becky! This all looks delicious.
You are a super woman! I cannot imagine making all these dishes in such a short time. Watching you makes me tired. I really admire your hard work. Your friend is so lucky to have you.
FYI: your mistep on suger is the reason why your cookies are crisper than normal. More white sugar = crispy More brown sugar = softer. Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
And also for a pillow type chocolate chip cookie just use nestle receipe on bag BUT add an extra 1/4 cup flour per batch. You will have amazing Thick cookies! For baking pull out your cookies a minute or so before recommend time they will then finish baking On the baking sheet
I had a friend make some homemade dinners and dessert for my family after my first baby was born and it was the best thing in the world. I don't remember any other baby shower gift, but I'll always remember the food that was gifted me!
It’s also a great gift for those too elderly to cook all their own meals, great for those with arthritis or recovering from surgery or illness. Frozen or ready made dinners taste like corporate food. Yuck.
What an absolute blessing. I am a mother to eight children, and without a doubt, a home-cooked meal after having a baby is one of the best things in the world!
It's definitely a privilege to be able to afford fresh ingredients so let's not shame those who can't afford it. Ideally we'd all love to cook with fresh ingredients.
@@Stephanielyn18There was nothing shaming about the comment. It’s nice to see meal prep that doesn’t use processed foods. When people say they don’t eat a lot of processed foods or they prefer to cook from scratch, why is this offensive?
@Ramblingeesha Nobody said they were offended. Just not all of us can afford fresh all the time, like me. Food stamps and the food shelf only go so far!
I know how fragile your body is after having a baby... It's very important to eat nutritious food at this time.... This is the best gift one can give to someone who just had a baby... God bless you
You get more done in one day than most people do in a month of Sundays! I don't care how many eggs you drop or how many things go awry, you are a delight and I enjoy watching and spending time with you! ❤
I have six children. Before my due time, I would cook and bake extra so I could have something in the freezer for those bad and/or disorganised days. I wish I’d a friend like you. We were on our own and I am always thankful that I’d had the energy to do the pre-baby meals. I think we’d’ve starved if I hadn’t had those meals on standby. Bless you Becky. Keep on showing the world that kindness, love and support really is a “thing”.
I think it’s the fire cider. I need to make it by the gallon. I have to sit down when I watch Becky because I get dizzy and my feet hurt. I have learned so much now if we can find out about the vitamins.
Hey Becky! My Grandmother always told me when it comes to doubling recipes, you don't double baking soda or baking powder. You reduce by a fraction for every teaspoon, I think by 1/8. You may want to investigate that. Baking is tricky! I love that you're making these meals for your friend. A dear friend of mine did this for me when I had my first child and it was such a blessing!
I've never had that issue... I always double every ingredient and never once had a problem, but I'm going to try it this way and see if anything changes.
My key ahha moment in baking, I finally had after like 10 years of home cooking was learning about bakers percents. Doubling and halfing dosent always work out to just double the numbers. But converting to the bakers percents you have control of making what ever amount you want.
Shoot I don’t understand what you mean? If you double it, you’re doing 100% more, which will still be the exact same percentages of all ingredients. And if you half it, you do 50% less. That wouldn’t work? Maybe I’m confused 🙈
@@BizzyBee30 For things just made at home will it really be awful? I wonder because double or make half is what most at home tend to do and taste buds aren’t usually so sensitive you need to cook at a professional level at home.
@@soilgrasswaterair I would just make two separate batches instead of trying to double it. You can always try though. It won't be exactly how it should
I wish you could bottle your energy! Everything looks delicious and I can just imagine how it tastes. All of us need a friend like you, Becky. Thank you for allowing us into your kitchen. I learn something every time.
The church community did a week of meals for our second baby and it was such a huge blessing that I do the same now for friends/family. A few meals really helps after birth!
Not only are you a great cook and gardener, but you also have great ethics’s and curtsies. ‘Do one to others as you would want done to you’ Your friend is lucky to have you in her life.
Becky, you are such a gift of a friend! I hope to be that for other people! You are a woman with many talents and you have so much knowledge. I would love to see a video on how you plan your freezer cooking meals! How do you plan what you are going to make while also making the most of your time? I dream of doing freezer cooking days to help save time in the future but the thought of planning through it is so overwhelming to me. I absolutely love your channel and content!
I’m not Becky but I have a couple ideas for you to think about. First just give meal prep a try. No disasters will occur. Just dive in. Second, a good way to start is to double or triple recipes when making regular meals. If you’re making chili, make a triple batch, eat one batch for dinner, and freeze two batches. Eventually you’ll have a good cache of food in the freezer without much thought or planning. If you like the convenience of having meals in the freezer, eventually you can start doing planned half days and then full days of meal prep. So try on a small scale rather than jumping in at the deep end! Enjoy!
@@dorothyyoung8231 👍👍👍 Also, I find that planning what we're going to eat throughout the week really helps me plan out what to prep. I've been trying to keep a bunch of things like meatballs in the freezer, because we eat them quite often 🙂 good luck friends!
I’m a birth and postpartum doula and I just had to tell you what an absolute blessing this was for your friend! I try to tell new moms to ask for things they really need, not ‘stuff’. Even four meals would be a weight lifted. You went above and beyond. Just amazing ❤️ you rock!
Thank you, Becky, for linking your music selections to your videos. I use them as I clean my home. And I have also changed the way I cook. After my separation from hubby. I got into a ' I don't want to cook for myself ' time. I lost interest in it all. Then I found you on youtube. You are an inspiration to me and I'm sure to many others. I now do for myself again. on a much smaller scale lol God bless you with everything you do
I have Currently switch roles with my wife due to a Major injury i had and thanks to you i feal more Confident to be able to make better meals for my family!!! The fustration i went through to learn on my own has be Greatly alleviated by you thank you!!!!!!!
God bless you❣ What an awesome husband you are. I pray your wife heals quickly & is able to get back to normal. Let her know she's being prayed for & to not be hard on herself for not being able to do all she used to do before she was injured.

I'm praying for you as well, for God to give you strength to get through this difficult time in your lives. 🙌 ✝️ 🙏💞❣🙋♀️
@@robynm7221 Thank you so much!!!! sorry just re edited It was I who was injured Not able to go back to work for quite some time.

Best to you for fast healing Travis. Good work on learning new skills to help out the family! Keep on cooking. Laugh at your recipe "fails". Sometimes a mistake turns into the best thing you ever cooked!
@@sofiaedmundson9128 tyty!!!😁 Definitely have to laugh at a few of them I mean my Lord how can you screw up spaghetti but I did🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for the kind words most appreciated!
There is so much to love about your videos, from the whole organisation to the prep then cooking. You might not class yourself as a baker but those muffins looked amazing, can't imagine them looking better. I have never seen the shredded hash browns nor some of the bigger sizes here in the UK. I also love how you're so natural not all made up to look like a beauty queen as seems the norm these days, you are really easy to relate and connect to and I adore how you kept the 2 eggs breaking in, keeping in real.. I think you'd be great on tv and your friends lucky to have you.
You’re so kind to do that for your friend. Having a baby really wipes you out and having meals ready to go is so wonderful. You’ve earned your gold star for this year. 🤣
I think I have 5, 1 pair of kitchen scissors and 4 ordinary ones, because I use them so much and I don’t have to wash them by hand when I used them, I can just take a new pair (I don’t run the dishwasher every day since I’m single etc)! 🤗
Onion broth can be made with just skins, 1st tough layer & top / root end cut offs. I keep a bag in the freezer to collect them as I'm using onions in cooking.
So sweet!! Once the baby arrives, it is one of the best things having already prepped meals!!! You don’t realize how hungry you get running around with the baby. You are an amazing friend as this has to be one of the best baby shower gifts ever! ☺️
Awesome cook! What a wonderful valuable gift. Tip for filling muffin tins, I use an ice cream scoop to avoid mess and drips on the sides cause I’m hopeless otherwise. Ice cream scoops are good for biscuits too.
This food gift will be a gift to remember for a long time. Most people don't think about making meals to give. A woman having a baby for the first, second, or third time has her hands full, and she's more than likely exhausted. To be able to just heat up a meal for her family, and not worry about cooking is an awesome gift, and very heart warming!!
Another great reason to shred your own cheese (other than the obvious lesser impact to the pocketbook) is that the dusting put onto the pre-shredded cheeses can take a meal from being gluten-free to not in one small choice! Love your channel! -Jen, KC
@@witch_in_a_wheelchair3050 but not ALL and those options greatly depend on where you live. It can make a big difference and potentially harmful difference at that.😊
@@roxannadrake7186 I understand, I've got celiac disease, so believe me, I understand how important it is. All I'm saying is that most of the major food brands of shredded cheese are gluten free, and that a simple look on the back, or Google search will help you figure that out as opposed to just swearing off shredded cheese altogether. 😊
I love how you say you are not good at something YET. I am impressed at how you take things in stride when they go off plan and process what you would do differently next time. Stay positive and keep shining!
I clean as I go too. My husband and son always clean up after dinner, but they get off so easy. I've already cleaned mostly everything while I was cooking.
Sweet Potatoes are ready in 120 days generally….. if they’re flowering, thin generally 4-5 weeks after. I have those same orange pots! Thanks for sharing.
If you're interested in learning a little more about how to make your baking a little more flexible and intuitive, it's just a matter of learning the rules behind it. The absolute best resource I have ever found is a book called How Baking Works by Paula Figoni. It's actually a textbook I used in culinary school (pastry chef here), and it lays everything out in clear, easy to understand ways. I especially use mine as a reference when doubling recipes, because it's not always just straight math when it's time to cook with science! I hope this was helpful at all, keep up the amazing work. Watching your channel is joy.
I do love your enthusiasm! You're just a go-getter and don't worry about staying in the lines! (that's meant as a compliment!) You're not afraid to take a chance. You seems to feel so comfortable doing whatever. you just make your rules as you go! I really enjoy watching you in action! Hope you have a good day! Love from SC!
I'm never sure. But I harvest sweet potato when the leaves start to yellow, but definitely before the first frost. I also put my hand under the soil to see if I can feel any that are large enough to use - a bit like I do with spuds.
I know this was 2 years ago but I have been watch8ng tun of freezer meal preps and yu.r the one I like I have nerve damage herniated spine to name a few things with a large family whilst home educating 5 as well and I can't get to cook everyday so today I did 2 different types of meals and the prep for tomorrow done for another 4 different type of meals. The 5 days of meals I did today r in the freezer. I must say yur parents.and husband must b proud of yu a breath of fresh air in today's world.
Most sweet potatoes are ready from 90 to 110 days from planting. Try digging up one and see if they are ready. If you leave them to long they tend to grow small root hairs on them but they are still OK.
I don't know where you get your energy! My mom used to tell me not every baking recipe can be doubled. Your friend is very blessed to have you in her life.
You are an amazing friend!! Wow!! Coming from a mom of 2 kids under 2, having freezer meals like that from a friend would’ve been incredible. What an incredible gift filled with lots of love!
I thoroughly enjoy your enthusiam, energy, and commitment to honor your promise to your friend - so abundantly! I also commend you for sharing your mistakes as well as the successes! That is what all of us have in common, I am sure!! But, that is how we learn!! And as for the sweet potatoes - They generally take about 100-120 days, depending on the variety - or when the oldest leaves just start to turn yellow.
Becky, you're amazing! You inspired me to start freezer cooking and really making the most of the garden harvest this year. It's also my second year really gardening and I'm learning so many preserving methods from you for things I didn't pay much attention to in the past, like onion tops and apple skins. Girl you got me to the point of seeking out a local farm (we're in Amish country here 😉 ) that does home raised and locally butchered organic beef that does bulk orders in a 1/4 cow at a time. Keep being awesome! You are inspiring.
@@bellaboopixi much better then Rachel Ray. Becky is much more relatable and the flow is like hanging out with a sister or a bestie for a few hours. Nurturing.🌷
What a wonderful person you are to make all those wonderful meals for your friend! You continue to amaze me with your positive energy! I absolutely LOVE your channel!
Ngl, I loved this video a lot! And especialllyyyy the organization and how clean your kitchen still looked! Made me feel at ease watching you do this for your bestie! Becky, you are wonderful to watch and I’m sure your friend is so grateful to have you! ❤️
I feel like we would get on in the kitchen together! I love how often you said 'im adding such and such because I have it and it needs using up!' - so my style! Waste not want not! ☺️
You are so sweet to do this for your friend. Cooking tip I’m sure you’ve been told… Use an ice cream scoop to portion out your muffins (or cupcakes or cookies even) it will help keep your edges clean.
I love watching you it has given me back my cooking joy. When I do cookie dough, I roll it in a log to freeze. When wanting to bake cookies, I just slice what I want to make.
I always grate cheese myself after I learned that manufacturers add an antibiotic to grated cheese to prevent molding. Grated cheese molds faster than chunks. Your videos are so fun to watch. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hon, you are a gem... you really are. You also are the spitting image in my favorite grand daughter,,, your face, your size the color of your eyes and hair (altho her hair is not as curly as yours) your energy and yes your shall I say clumsiness? I love watching you in action as you whip up your recipes, even when they don't turn out as you planned. In other words from the voice of your newest subscriber, YOU ARE A SWEETHEART and I love watching your channels. Keep em coming doll.
This is a token of love! :) Making homemade foods is amazing! I am totally nodding when you said doubling recipes is not a strong suit! Girlie Girl, you are awesome! Your best friend will be stoked that she is receiving meals from you! Thank you for being so positive Becky!
Not sure if anybody shared it already but here's a great tip to make baking muffins even more fun: use an ice cream scoop to devide the batter into the baking tin. Easier and its the perfect amount 😁
What an amazing gift idea! I always bring my new mom friends/family a pasta dish with salad, breadsticks, and a dessert and they always appreciate it so much. I meal prepped for my own family when I was pregnant, but man, it’s not easy when you’re 38/39 weeks pregnant.
I know a lot can be tweaked when producing a TH-cam video but even with that said it is so evident you are a go getter! So impressive that you take on such a large labor of love BY YOURSELF! Hats off to you Becky! I see you and your channel going places! Move over Pioneer Women there’s a new kid on the block!! 😀
I've had some formal culinary training. Doubling baking recipes is tricky. It's all about science and it's not as simple as just adding double the ingredients. You have to alter the ratio of dry and wet ingredients. It normally doesn't work out well. My teacher always had us mix up multiple single batches if we needed more than one batch. We had a few big batch recipes that were ready to go into the big floor mixers but everything else was a normal sized recipe that shouldn't be doubled.
When I ‘double’ a baking recipe I measure into 2 dif bowl. The final product will rarely come out right if you double or triple a recipe intro the same bowl
I bake alot and I am successful at doubling most recipies. I do not double loafs or cake mixes as I like to ensure equal amounts in the pans. However I just cannot be distracted by my kids or whatever lol
I have no experience cooking and always double my cookie batches and they come out phenomenal. I don’t ever do ratios or alternate. I cook with love! 😉
This is the best gift ever!! I am amazed how much you do with growing a garden, having chickens, processing your garden goodies, and everything that goes along with homesteading and working a full time job! Wow! When I cook and bake I do it for an army because I love to share what I make with my Mom, friends & family. For me, it's the gift of giving. Thank you for all that you do
What you’re doing for your friend is awesome. My husband and I enjoy your videos. I grew up in the inner city so I know nothing about growing food, but you have encouraged me to try something, even if it’s a small indoor garden.
I just had my 5th child,(a healthy little boy) plus I take care of my better half who is an injured vet. I truly wish I had a friend that would do that for me!!!!!! Thank you so much for all the recipes. As soon as we can afford to buy food again I plan on doing these!!!! I also shared this in my cooking group!!!!
I made freezer meals before my first and it was a lifesaver!!! About to plan out my next one for baby coming in December! So nice of you to do this for her!! ❤️ It truly is a blessing to not have to cook all the time or order take out!
I cannot stand cooking bacon either, I also do not care for deep frying things inside the house. I am an avid griller, I do not leave it up to my husband I do the grilling and he will do it once in a while to but I love that our grill has a burner on it so when I deep fry I do it outdoors and I do not have to care about the house stinking like grease. Although I have found burning a coffee scented candle really helps take the cooking odor away just like it does when you clean your pallet smelling perfumes. Just another trick I have to share with everybody because it really works.I also have a great big skillet that I use on the grill and I cook my bacon out on the grill because again do not care if it splashes inside the grill and gets it disgusting because it will burn away. I have to say I have just started watching you and I absolutely love you. You are an inspiration, total goals!
I tried some silicone liners, but I could taste the silicone in my muffins. It was really gross. My husband and kids couldn't taste it, but it was a strong flavor to me.
I love my kitchen scale! I use it for all of my sourdough bakes, and even when dividing doughs into portions so they are all more or less the same size....
Better than any booties, blankets or toys...there is NOTHING better than a meal when a new baby comes home. What an incredibly thoughtful person you are, Becky! This all looks delicious.
I love you don’t edit out when you drop or break something, keeping it real.
You are a super woman! I cannot imagine making all these dishes in such a short time. Watching you makes me tired. I really admire your hard work. Your friend is so lucky to have you.
FYI: your mistep on suger is the reason why your cookies are crisper than normal. More white sugar = crispy

I thought she messed up the sugar on the zucchini muffins!
Also the moment the cookie “cracks” on top, pull them out of the oven!!
This would be the best baby shower gift ever!! It will take so much stress off the new mom! ❤️👣🍼
If she can give birth, the dad can bake!
I had a friend make some homemade dinners and dessert for my family after my first baby was born and it was the best thing in the world. I don't remember any other baby shower gift, but I'll always remember the food that was gifted me!

It's nice seeing one of these types of channels where it isn't just mass amounts of frozen processed stuff mixed with canned processed stuff.
I totally agree. The amount of processed food in many of the large family meal videos is unappetizing to me.

You’re so kind to do that for your friend. Having a baby really wipes you out and having meals ready to go is so wonderful. You’ve earned your gold star for this year. 🤣
I was looking back thinking I missed something!! You are a terrific friend! I seriously loved getting dinners when I had my daughter 32 years ago!!
Scissors in the kitchen is one of the best things ever!! What a wonderful gift to your friend 💜
00000
I think I have 5, 1 pair of kitchen scissors and 4 ordinary ones, because I use them so much and I don’t have to wash them by hand when I used them, I can just take a new pair (I don’t run the dishwasher every day since I’m single etc)! 🤗
I love onion broth, I make a huge batch and can it to use as a soup base throughout the winter. It's also a good way to use up a lot of your onions.
Onion broth can be made with just skins, 1st tough layer & top / root end cut offs. I keep a bag in the freezer to collect them as I'm using onions in cooking.
I'm going to be meal prepping for myself for my second baby and I'm loving watching this for inspiration! What an awesome friend you are
So sweet!! Once the baby arrives, it is one of the best things having already prepped meals!!! You don’t realize how hungry you get running around with the baby. You are an amazing friend as this has to be one of the best baby shower gifts ever! ☺️
Awesome cook! What a wonderful valuable gift. Tip for filling muffin tins, I use an ice cream scoop to avoid mess and drips on the sides cause I’m hopeless otherwise. Ice cream scoops are good for biscuits too.
You are such a sweet friend to make all that food for that postpartum mama! What a huge blessing!!
You are such a good friend. This is truly one of the best things you could do for her after having a baby. ❤
This food gift will be a gift to remember for a long time. Most people don't think about making meals to give. A woman having a baby for the first, second, or third time has her hands full, and she's more than likely exhausted. To be able to just heat up a meal for her family, and not worry about cooking is an awesome gift, and very heart warming!!
You are a wonderful, generous friend! She's a very lucky girl!
Another great reason to shred your own cheese (other than the obvious lesser impact to the pocketbook) is that the dusting put onto the pre-shredded cheeses can take a meal from being gluten-free to not in one small choice! Love your channel! -Jen, KC
Most major food brands use gluten free anti caking agents, most shredded cheese is gluten free. 😊
@@witch_in_a_wheelchair3050 but not ALL and those options greatly depend on where you live. It can make a big difference and potentially harmful difference at that.😊
@@roxannadrake7186 I understand, I've got celiac disease, so believe me, I understand how important it is. All I'm saying is that most of the major food brands of shredded cheese are gluten free, and that a simple look on the back, or Google search will help you figure that out as opposed to just swearing off shredded cheese altogether. 😊
@@witch_in_a_wheelchair3050 understood, have a nice day and I wish you the best!
@@roxannadrake7186 you as well!!
That was such a sweet kindness of you ,And you already have so much to do.God will bless your kindness 💗
That's such a nice and thoughtful gift! You're great!
I love how you say you are not good at something YET. I am impressed at how you take things in stride when they go off plan and process what you would do differently next time. Stay positive and keep shining!
You need to get an audible sponsor!! You’re always listening to something it would be perfect
She's done one in the past so I wouldn't be surprised if she did it again
I clean as I go too. My husband and son always clean up after dinner, but they get off so easy. I've already cleaned mostly everything while I was cooking.
Sweet Potatoes are ready in 120 days generally….. if they’re flowering, thin generally 4-5 weeks after. I have those same orange pots! Thanks for sharing.
If you're interested in learning a little more about how to make your baking a little more flexible and intuitive, it's just a matter of learning the rules behind it. The absolute best resource I have ever found is a book called How Baking Works by Paula Figoni. It's actually a textbook I used in culinary school (pastry chef here), and it lays everything out in clear, easy to understand ways. I especially use mine as a reference when doubling recipes, because it's not always just straight math when it's time to cook with science! I hope this was helpful at all, keep up the amazing work. Watching your channel is joy.
I do love your enthusiasm! You're just a go-getter and don't worry about staying in the lines! (that's meant as a compliment!) You're not afraid to take a chance. You seems to feel so comfortable doing whatever. you just make your rules as you go! I really enjoy watching you in action! Hope you have a good day! Love from SC!
I second Tammy Morgan's comment 😊🤭 Love 💞from S. Florida 🏝⛵ 🏖 ❣
Nothing better for the mama of a brand new baby than FOOD! This is a lifesaver. What a wonderful gift Becky. ☺️
I'm never sure. But I harvest sweet potato when the leaves start to yellow, but definitely before the first frost. I also put my hand under the soil to see if I can feel any that are large enough to use - a bit like I do with spuds.
I know this was 2 years ago but I have been watch8ng tun of freezer meal preps and yu.r the one I like I have nerve damage herniated spine to name a few things with a large family whilst home educating 5 as well and I can't get to cook everyday so today I did 2 different types of meals and the prep for tomorrow done for another 4 different type of meals. The 5 days of meals I did today r in the freezer. I must say yur parents.and husband must b proud of yu a breath of fresh air in today's world.
Most sweet potatoes are ready from 90 to 110 days from planting. Try digging up one and see if they are ready. If you leave them to long they tend to grow small root hairs on them but they are still OK.
The best gift ever! You ROCK, Becky!
If you drop an egg on the floor pick up the shell and call one of the dogs in. They will clean it up for you then it's just a simple mop up for you.
I don't know where you get your energy! My mom used to tell me not every baking recipe can be doubled. Your friend is very blessed to have you in her life.
You are an amazing friend!! Wow!! Coming from a mom of 2 kids under 2, having freezer meals like that from a friend would’ve been incredible. What an incredible gift filled with lots of love!
I thoroughly enjoy your enthusiam, energy, and commitment to honor your promise to your friend - so abundantly! I also commend you for sharing your mistakes as well as the successes! That is what all of us have in common, I am sure!! But, that is how we learn!! And as for the sweet potatoes - They generally take about 100-120 days, depending on the variety - or when the oldest leaves just start to turn yellow.
How sweet! You seem like a great friend.
Becky, you're amazing! You inspired me to start freezer cooking and really making the most of the garden harvest this year. It's also my second year really gardening and I'm learning so many preserving methods from you for things I didn't pay much attention to in the past, like onion tops and apple skins. Girl you got me to the point of seeking out a local farm (we're in Amish country here 😉 ) that does home raised and locally butchered organic beef that does bulk orders in a 1/4 cow at a time. Keep being awesome! You are inspiring.
You are the “ Rachael Ray “ of TH-cam. Everything looks delicious, what a nice thing to do.🥰
She does remind me of what I liked about the 30 minute meals videos, you're so right! She's a more relatable pioneer woman. Who needs food network?? 🤣
@@bellaboopixi much better then Rachel Ray. Becky is much more relatable and the flow is like hanging out with a sister or a bestie for a few hours. Nurturing.🌷
@@angelabuckley29 right?? And I learn just as much as watching good eats or something. She is so awesome
You’re a great friend, there is not many like you around. Bless you. You need to write a book on homegrown food, prepping, canning etc etc
Becky! Get yourself a cookie scoop, it’s the easiest and cleanest way to fill muffins or cupcakes!
Ice cream scoop works
You are the sweetest n kindest best friend ever. May God bless u for always thinking of others. What a hard worker u are. Love all ur videos.
You can freeze the onions peels and use them later for making bone broth. I do this for onions, garlic peels, and celery leaves.
Ahh Becky, you are an amazing friend. That is so sweet of you. I know these meals are going to be a huge help for your friend. God bless you Becky. ❤
What a wonderful person you are to make all those wonderful meals for your friend! You continue to amaze me with your positive energy! I absolutely LOVE your channel!
I love how practical your gifts are, both giving & receiving.
What a wonderful baby shower gift!!! You are so thoughtful and loving! Your friend is blessed!
Ngl, I loved this video a lot! And especialllyyyy the organization and how clean your kitchen still looked! Made me feel at ease watching you do this for your bestie! Becky, you are wonderful to watch and I’m sure your friend is so grateful to have you! ❤️
I feel like we would get on in the kitchen together! I love how often you said 'im adding such and such because I have it and it needs using up!' - so my style! Waste not want not! ☺️
What an amazing friend you are!!!👏🏻👏🏻 everyone needs a caring friend like you
When you use the muffin liners you don't need to spray them. I have never sprayed them and they come off really easy
You are so sweet to do this for your friend.
Cooking tip I’m sure you’ve been told…
Use an ice cream scoop to portion out your muffins (or cupcakes or cookies even) it will help keep your edges clean.
I love watching you it has given me back my cooking joy. When I do cookie dough, I roll it in a log to freeze. When wanting to bake cookies, I just slice what I want to make.
I always grate cheese myself after I learned that manufacturers add an antibiotic to grated cheese to prevent molding. Grated cheese molds faster than chunks. Your videos are so fun to watch. Thanks for sharing with us.
Who disliked this?🤨 this is wholesome, lovely content... I love Becky and I think this is great! What a great gift!
Your friend is blessed to have such a thoughtful, generous friend!
This was so thoughtful and kind. You're a great friend to your friends.
Hon, you are a gem... you really are. You also are the spitting image in my favorite grand daughter,,, your face, your size the color of your eyes and hair (altho her hair is not as curly as yours) your energy and yes your shall I say clumsiness? I love watching you in action as you whip up your recipes, even when they don't turn out as you planned. In other words from the voice of your newest subscriber, YOU ARE A SWEETHEART and I love watching your channels. Keep em coming doll.
This is a token of love! :) Making homemade foods is amazing! I am totally nodding when you said doubling recipes is not a strong suit! Girlie Girl, you are awesome! Your best friend will be stoked that she is receiving meals from you! Thank you for being so positive Becky!
Not sure if anybody shared it already but here's a great tip to make baking muffins even more fun: use an ice cream scoop to devide the batter into the baking tin.
Easier and its the perfect amount 😁
What an amazing gift idea! I always bring my new mom friends/family a pasta dish with salad, breadsticks, and a dessert and they always appreciate it so much. I meal prepped for my own family when I was pregnant, but man, it’s not easy when you’re 38/39 weeks pregnant.
I know a lot can be tweaked when producing a TH-cam video but even with that said it is so evident you are a go getter! So impressive that you take on such a large labor of love BY YOURSELF! Hats off to you Becky! I see you and your channel going places! Move over Pioneer Women there’s a new kid on the block!! 😀
I've had some formal culinary training. Doubling baking recipes is tricky. It's all about science and it's not as simple as just adding double the ingredients. You have to alter the ratio of dry and wet ingredients. It normally doesn't work out well. My teacher always had us mix up multiple single batches if we needed more than one batch. We had a few big batch recipes that were ready to go into the big floor mixers but everything else was a normal sized recipe that shouldn't be doubled.
I love to bake. I never double the recipe. I will.make the recipe twice and just keep baking.
When I ‘double’ a baking recipe I measure into 2 dif bowl. The final product will rarely come out right if you double or triple a recipe intro the same bowl
I bake alot and I am successful at doubling most recipies. I do not double loafs or cake mixes as I like to ensure equal amounts in the pans. However I just cannot be distracted by my kids or whatever lol
I have no experience cooking and always double my cookie batches and they come out phenomenal. I don’t ever do ratios or alternate. I cook with love! 😉
Yes!!
You are a jewel to watch I am 63and you have taught me so much and saved me so many days this last 2 months after my 44 yr old son passed thank you
I'm making the breakfast casserole tonight! And I might do this for my friend who's due in a month, great idea!
Hey I’m wanting to make this for myself for postpartum. Did you freeze the one for your friend unbaked or after you had baked it?
Love how you’re into all the scientific stuff! Maillard reaction, proteins in butter, etc. Thanks for your videos
You are such an awesome person and I love watching you mistakes and all! A breath of fresh air♥️
Thank you for showing real life! Love watching you! Such an inspiration
Man, I wish I would have had someone do this for me when I had my baby. I came home from the hospital and had to cook right away.
This is the best gift ever!! I am amazed how much you do with growing a garden, having chickens, processing your garden goodies, and everything that goes along with homesteading and working a full time job! Wow! When I cook and bake I do it for an army because I love to share what I make with my Mom, friends & family. For me, it's the gift of giving. Thank you for all that you do
What you’re doing for your friend is awesome. My husband and I enjoy your videos. I grew up in the inner city so I know nothing about growing food, but you have encouraged me to try something, even if it’s a small indoor garden.
I just had my 5th child,(a healthy little boy) plus I take care of my better half who is an injured vet. I truly wish I had a friend that would do that for me!!!!!! Thank you so much for all the recipes. As soon as we can afford to buy food again I plan on doing these!!!! I also shared this in my cooking group!!!!
I made freezer meals before my first and it was a lifesaver!!! About to plan out my next one for baby coming in December! So nice of you to do this for her!! ❤️ It truly is a blessing to not have to cook all the time or order take out!
I cannot stand cooking bacon either, I also do not care for deep frying things inside the house. I am an avid griller, I do not leave it up to my husband I do the grilling and he will do it once in a while to but I love that our grill has a burner on it so when I deep fry I do it outdoors and I do not have to care about the house stinking like grease. Although I have found burning a coffee scented candle really helps take the cooking odor away just like it does when you clean your pallet smelling perfumes. Just another trick I have to share with everybody because it really works.I also have a great big skillet that I use on the grill and I cook my bacon out on the grill because again do not care if it splashes inside the grill and gets it disgusting because it will burn away.
I have to say I have just started watching you and I absolutely love you. You are an inspiration, total goals!
I bought silicon muffin liners and they’re great whenever I make muffins/cupcakes. And reusable! 😁
I love mine!
I tried some silicone liners, but I could taste the silicone in my muffins. It was really gross. My husband and kids couldn't taste it, but it was a strong flavor to me.
As a mom to two little ones, I can tell you that this is the best gift you can give anyone who is bringing home a little one.
What a wonderful gift..I'm sure she feels so blessed to have a friend like you. ..you're amazing!
Awww everyone needs a friend like you! That is so sweet and thoughtful!
If baking is not your thing use an electronic kitchen scale and measure by weight rather then volume. Makes life so much easier!
I love my kitchen scale! I use it for all of my sourdough bakes, and even when dividing doughs into portions so they are all more or less the same size....
Yeah. It took me years to accept that! If I want consistency, I use my digital scale 😊
I just love how you share what your doing and are just real with it. I think you are amazing.
