I had to smile when you forgot the salt in the pizza dough - it reminded me of my grandmother who I believe was the world's best cook. She always allowed me to "help" her cook and once we made a layer cake for a cousin's birthday and as we were cleaning up the kitchen after placing the cake in the oven, she said "oh no." She walked over and opened the oven door and stirred baking powder into the already baking layers. Of course, they were perfect. As was she.
Becky, from a woman just turning 58 who has enjoyed lots of friends over the years I want to thank you for the format you have crated! My circle of friends is smaller these days and the way you say “we” did things is so nice! Also, “thanks friend” warms my heart! Loving your channel🥰🙏🏻🇺🇸
58 here, and just recovering from a major spine operation. I can’t do much but watching these videos is so inspirational for when I can. But, I don’t think I will ever be able to do as much as Becky in a day. Lots of love from England ❤xx
I was thinking the EXACT same thing. She's NOTHING but pure positivity, genuine creativity & joy with ZERO sarcasm & snarkiness, which is refreshing and so unusual today. Most folks like to snipe, but Becky is all love & light. I think she's the Darling of TH-cam. 100% Delightful.
It is official, Becky, you are my 3 yr olds favorite person. It is 0654 and she woke me up excitedly asking to watch “my Becky”!!! She LOVES to watch you cook meals and talk about your chickens, because, “My Becky has chickie babies just like me mommy!!”. You ma’am are the modern day Julia Child. ❤❤❤
Becky, I’ve been watching you since late 2020 and was so happy for you when you were able to leave your job and bring this channel to all of us as your full time “job.” It’s been a joy. Thank you for always making us feel welcome into your home. You inspire us all.
Hi, Becky. I'm a 65 year old woman who was forced into retirement last month. I came across one of your videos and got hooked! I've been binge watching you for weeks. I have since reorganized my spice cupboard and my freezer, so I can incorporate some of what I've learned from you into my own kitchen. Thank you for inspiring me. You are awesome, and so efficient!
These are my favorite videos on TH-cam. Relaxing, inspiring, wholesome and food-related. Becky has given me so many tips and ideas, and I also like how she uses our suggestions! This is such a cool channel
It was a "bake alongside Becky today", I made 2 batches of biscuits (I use buttermilk in mine) and 6 pie crusts while watching you. Thank you, hon, you are a real jewel!
I'm planning on rolling out 6 pie crusts after I watch this video... The video is my rest timer, being 5 months pregnant and having super busy mornings means I need to take time to chill out sometimes!
I absolutely LOVE her chickens! I almost wish there was a live “Chicken Cam” up so we could watch them whenever we needed to bring a smile to our face and a tingle in our hearts. 💕😊
Well, you're probably NEVER going to see this, but I just have to say that I am SO inspired by you! I'm 60 and live alone and LOVE casseroles, especially ones that are complete meals (meaning that they contain a protein, a vegetable and a starch). From now on when I make a casserole, I'm going to make 3 of them, one to eat right away (every night for dinner until gone, which suits me fine), one for my elderly parents, and a third one to divide into meal-size portions to freeze for myself. I can't wait to do that this weekend! I'm a super picky eater so will be making casseroles that combine ingredients from 2 or more of your recipes to come up with my own complete-meal casseroles. For example, I don't like bell peppers, onions, ricotta, cilantro, etc., so this weekend I'm going to make a casserole with jumbo pasta shells stuffed with sausage and diced zucchini with cream cheese, mozzarello and parmesan. Thank you SO MUCH for all the inspiration; you are such a joy to spend time with and I've already learned so much from you in the one week since I stumbled upon your channel!!
@@sparkleflair I don't know how to share my recipes other than to reply to you here, which I will do. My mother ended up going to the emergency room this past week so I've been spending time taking care of her but hope to make the sausage/jumbo pasta shells soon.
I picked up this biscuit cutting tip from Joanna Gaines’ cookbook-after rolling dough out in rectangle-use a pizza cutter to cut the dough in squares-then you don’t have to re roll the excess dough again and risk tough biscuits! Rustic looking, yummy biscuits 🙂
Oh yeah! Freezer meals for Postpartum are how I found your channel. Also helpful for having kids/busy life in general. We are like you we want to eat healthy, home cooked food as much as possible.
I just love you! Cannot wait until we can refer to “baby” by name ♥️ You inspire me so much. I’m 61 yrs old and all of sudden I’m using strange spices (gochugaru) and making artisan bread. My husband is loving the “new” me, because of you. I’ve even been making baked oatmeal, which I had never heard of! 😊
@@jenniferh1416 Freeze dried pumpkin puree, powder it, then when you want pumpkin puree just add water to get the texture of pumpkin puree. Use it just like canned pumpkin.
I have a TH-cam channel where I cook. I am still cracking up at how many people watch and LOVE the biscuit video. Yep, frozen butter and box grater is the key to fabulousness!😄
Because of you, I can now make homemade pie dough - trying homemade pizza dough next! I also grew tomatoes successfully and will try other vegetables next year because of your videos!. My husband laughs when I say "Becky says...." Thank you for a wholesome channel and videos! ❤
I'm so in awe of you Becky. I've had 3 babies and I never worked half as hard as you do during any of my pregnancies. I know you're right up at the end of yours now so I'm seriously WILDLY impressed with you. 🙌🙌
Same! I just hope she feels ok making someone else (josh, relative, whoever) do things so she can rest. My husband had to do a lot of cooking and frankly, I let him eat sandwiches if he wanted something from me.😆
Hey Becky, a good way to use up your dirty aluminum foil is to put it into your dishwasher. Just squees it into a clump and put it into the area where your forks, spoons, etc... are. the foil will give back the nice silvery shine on the cutlery (Chemistry thing). For me its a nice way feeling better not to throw the aluminum foil after one use in the trash AND u will get nice and shiny cutlery :) the same foil works for multiple washes - you can see how it becomes mat after a frew rounds in the dish washer. Maybe you will give it a try ^^ - Best wishes from Germany ♥
I made ghee for the first time last week and was so proud of myself. I used 2 lbs salter and 2 lbs unsalted so it wouldn't be too salty. It made 7 half pints. Boy do scrambled eggs taste good cooked with it. It smells devine. Funny that if you taste it, it's oily with barely a hint of butter flavor, but the eggs fried in it - fabulous and buttery flavored. You inspired me to try many new things this year. Next is to gather the supplies to make my own vanilla.
One thing I told Becky was to scrape the insides of her vanilla beans out to put in your vanilla. Put the hulls of the pod into sugar to make vanilla sugar. It’s great for baking! It doesn’t take but 2-3 pods per 5 lb bag of sugar. Depends on how strong you want the sugar. I’ve yet to see her do it but maybe next time as I just told her about it.
@@reneeallen3569 I have never heard of that but I will give it a try. I have been making vanilla for years and it tastes so much better than what you get in a store
Becky, I made the buttery biscuits for breakfast yesterday and they were so good! My husband is a very picky eater and I get 1 try with new recipes. He ate 6 of these biscuits in one setting!!! Thanks again for all your work!
I've learned so much from this channel Becky, thank you. Even though I'm 62 years old, raised two children and now have 4 grandchildren I basically never really learned how to cook. My Mom didn't like to cook and rarely did and she never taught me to cook a thing. Then I went to live my my Dad at 15, my older sister stayed with our Mom and after a few science projects my Dad and I went the sandwhich, ready made, or eat out food route. I did learn a few tried and true and had a couple of favorite cook books when my kids were growing up. I found that going all out was wasted on them and they prefered the few tried and true or simple things. Now I have the time and really enjoy cooking even if it's just for myself. I often freeze leftovers or share some with neighbors when I go all out. Take care and God bless you and yours.
I am going to make a big batch of those biscuits soon, they look wonderful and I love the idea of having them ready to bake anytime I want. Thanks Becky for the great recipes and inspiration!
Just something to think about for next time you cook a bunch of bacon. So your bacon does not sit in the grease use cooling racks. This will allow the bacon grease to drip off. You can then pour your grease in a jar without having too much left on your bacon.
Love the idea of having biscuits ready when you want them. I just pulled a pie dough out of the freezer. Such a time saver. Thanks to you, I have so many 'ready to go' things in my freezer just waiting for when I don't feel like cooking.
Hi Becky, I just wanted to let you know that my 5year old absolutely loves your channel and I do too. Every time we are going through TH-cam and she sees your channel ‘Mom the cooking one’ 😂 that’s what she calls your channel. She loves everything you do and I’ve not seen her get that excited over any other channel👍🏼
@@christina7088 I’m 65 and I do the same thing your daughter does. I keep sharing with my daughter (43, Lol). She’s a hood cook. But we never prepare early or cook and freeze. But watching Becky just relaxes me. Even though I know that the more time goes by, I feel bad. Because I know she’s got to be exhausted. It’s gonna be time before we know it. It’s going so fast.
Hooray for a postpartum meal prep video! I’m due with baby #2 on Turkey day this year 💕 your freezer meal prep videos help a lot! I never prepped with #1 and it would’ve been a life saver. I’ve learned so much with your videos and can’t thank you enough!! 💝
My mom bought me a bunch of freezer meals for my first. She felt bad that she lived too far to help in any other way. It helped so much that I meal prepped a lot for #2 and #3. My pregnancies were terrible too, so it helped all the more to have extra for prebaby as much as postbaby
My 1st baby was born on Thanksgiving years ago. Clarissa, let someone else do the cooking for you if you go into labour that day! It’s no fun basting a turkey in the midst of contractions! Lol, best wishes with your baby!
I think this will make it so much easier for you as you transition into motherhood. A good head start. You already have the skills, and your timing is amazing. You will find your own rhythm that works best for you and your family, and this family too. And Becky, you are just glowing.
Hi Becky! I love your channel, making ahead for postpartum is smart and your advice is invaluable to expectant moms. I'm an old granny now but still learn from you. My next project is to make your bread, I always avoided breads but you have given me confidence to try. Thanks so much for sharing with us, love from Sue in Ohio ❤️
I just wish I had a counter in my kitchen. Our glass stove top serves as our counter for prepping everything. Freezer meals have saved me many times, so I appreciate these videos!
Every time you talk about salt in your dough, I’m reminded of my Mother. Both of her parents passed when she was 15 and 16. 6 months apart. She was shuffled around to her older brothers and sisters homes. She married my father when she was very young. 17. My fathers family owned and ran a sawmill. So there were seasons where all the brothers and their families live at the Sawmill camps. They had cute little cabins. My mother was the only wife that didn’t have any kids. So she decided she’d get flour from the other wives and make a huge batch of bread. She wanted to help out so bad. BUT…. She forgot the salt. Lol. They would usually have a pot luck dinner and everyone would sit out by a camp fire and enjoy each other’s company. I had some scary Uncles. Lol. My Mom said she was terrified of the oldest brother. She said he tried to be nice about it. But he’d pick up the salt shaker and glare at her while sprinkling salt on his bread. Lol. It has helped me to never, ever forget the salt in any dough recipe. Lol
I love family stories. This was so unique and rich with fading history of such hard work and loyalty. How wonderful that she passed this event with such great detail to you! Thanks for sharing that.
@@deborahm7667 I remember it so vividly because she baked bread, rolls, pie crusts, she made homemade noodles for soup, lots of pastas. She constantly reminded us to remember the salt. Lol. We heard the story at least once a year. Then she would cook with our kids. So the story would come back as they learned to cook with Grandma. My Mom loved it when she’d have her first cooking session with one of the kids. She’d start to tell her story and our kids would say, “Oh yeah Grandma! Mom told us.” They’d kind of chuckle a little as they asked her which Uncle scared her the most. This was one of my favorite stories. Lol
The community of people that follow you, Becky, is amazing! I love reading the encouraging and helpful comments. Your genuine and authentic videos brings authenticity out of us all. Please never stop being you! I have made lots of the biscuits for the freezer, and use spelt flour instead of AP. Its so delish!
I would’ve kept the pumpkin water, frozen it and included it when you’re making broth next, as I’m sure it has vitamins and goodies from the pumpkins… 🤗
Since you bake a lot with buttermilk, it would be a good idea for you to get kefir grains and make your own kefir/buttermilk to have on hand at all times. I use my kefir like I would buttermilk, as to me it's same thing. I also drink a lot of it (great for gut health) so i always have a small pitcher of it in my fridge. It's very low maintenance too!
I once forgot to add salt. It was a small batch like what you did here. I made extremely briney water and just poured a little brine on my hands as I kneaded. My mother and I baked bread every Sunday. We had a large family so the amount of dough was 4 - 5 times as much ad you made. All the extended family knew our Sunday routine so the bread was all gone by the end of the day. So much love in Sundays.
I don’t know how many times I can say OMG but you are absolutely amazing! The amount of cooking you accomplish in a day is unbelievable! You have inspired everyone that watches your channel. You truly are one in a million. 💜👶🏻💙🥰🌟🦃
Arrrrr I have been waiting for this video, prep as much as you can for postpartum. Day turns into night, night turns into day and you won’t know which way is up or down, it’s exhausting but so soo sooooo frickin amazing ♥️
You are amazing. I'm 83 had 4 kids, and like you always busy. My first baby was born in 5 hours. My older sister already had 3 kids, and gave me so many good advice when going into labor. Love you from Hawaii ALOHA
Wow what a production today. You are getting all stocked up for postpartum! Good for you. I'm going to try your biscuit recipe because I usually buy Pilsbury frozen biscuits in bulk but if I can make them that would be great. Thank you so much for posting. Stay safe, stay well. Relax
You are a hard working pregnant woman you never stop lol... a womans body is an amazing thing...we can run around doing all the day to day tasks while growing a tiny human inside us 🥰🥰
I made your sausage stuffing for our Canadian Thanksgiving. It was fabulous 😄. I also made your stuffed peppers using ground turkey and they were a big hit too 😋
I believe I would be losing my mind right now without your videos from this week to catch up on I am sitting in the ICU waiting room as they just took my husband in for a very unexpected open heart surgery for two 99% and a 95% blockages Until I found your page, 15 minutes was my absolute max for how long a video I would stay for but since finding your page I have literally spent enjoyable days long marathons trying to go back and catch up from when your page started I've loved and WANTED to watch your videos since, but today is the first day that I have NEEDED your videos to keep my mind calm and distracted for HOURS Thank you Becky
As a mom of 5 you give me so much motivation to just “get it done”! Love your channel so much and hope you have a fantastic holiday season into the new season of motherhood. Toughest hood I’ve ever lived in but feel so confident you’re going to have such a smooth time during the transition ♥️✨ blessings to you and yours!
you are just awesome. I was so glad that you haven't forgot the salt in the Pizza dough. It fascinate me how much nice things you make in one day. And your chickens / the "girls" are so cute. How they came when you give them the pumpkin seeds - just amazing. Much love and all the best for you and your family.
Thank you Becky....For being amazing. Absolutely appreciate you and your videos. Great tips, words of encouragement, and educational...and so much more! Thanks Friend!!!!
You are an absolute legend! I love your channel and it was one of the major motivators for me to start cooking more at home (which is something I always struggled with; I never felt like I was capable of cooking). I’ve kind of fallen in love with making my own breads, pizza dough, and my son has been loving the home cooked meals more than I ever thought he would.
I made those biscuits yesterday for dinner. I saw you cook them from frozen in a previous video recently. They were soooo good!! I will definitely be making a big batch for the freezer 🤗 Thank you!!
It’s now 6:25 a.m. where I live, so I’ve watched your videos all night! I have some nights that I cannot sleep since my hubby passed away and I’m very thankful that I found your channel! You not only post some “delicious” videos, but you have a lot of super ideas “packed” in, too! I have my daughter, her hubby, and two wonderful grandsons, both in high school, who live nearby and I enjoy cooking for them, so your recipes are tried and enjoyed! Now you have a precious little boy, too! Congratulations on welcoming him into your lives! You and your hubby are blessed! He will grow very quickly, so I hope you received a “Baby Book” for him because you want to write little notes very often...everything from when his cord came off, first smile first checkup and how much weight he has gained! It’s fun to add new things and they happen very often! I know so many things are computerized now, but “Baby’s Book” should not be one of those! They usually go from birth to kindergarten or first grade...to when they begin to lose baby teeth! He will love watching you put pictures of him in it, too! Take care! Thanks for the ideas and recipes!
Gosh that pizza dough was a major workout for you. My guess is you will never forget salt again. Live and learn. I so love all of your hints and suggestions for ways to make the most of our time in the kitchen. Thank you for sharing with us. It was nice to see your girls outside in this video. Looks like they have adjusted to the new house nicely. The dishes can wait. They will be there when you feel up to dealing with them. Go relax!
In lieu of disposing the pumpkin "juice," try freezing it. It makes a perfect base for using in any soup or sauce. You can also transform it into a vegetable stock.
Hey Becky! We have a farm in the Highlands of Scotland and have been so inspired by you over the last couple of years that we have decided to start our own channel. I can't wait to meet your little one when they come along. My 4 kids love watching you cook and we all try to recreate your recipes. Some how me and 4 kids don't achieve as much as you though haha. This year for Christmas I'm surprising the kids with some of your peanut brittle, a total throw back to my own childhood! Keep up the amazing work and thankyou for having an energy level that's contagious. There are many days that I need it =)
Wow awesome I learned a lot about pizza and pie crusts. You were vibing at a much calmer frequency, you got a lot done and we learned as well. I like the large meal preps. Remember the baby feels your energy. I used tape head phones on my stomach when I was busy keeping him distracted around my energy . Today , I smile how much he enjoys music and even knows organically every artist. He just turned 28-an awesome dude.
You are completely amazing!!! What a great video. I do these things too, but not on the scale you do. I always keep cooked hamburger, italian sausage and chorizo in the freezer for pizza, omlets, breakfast burritos, etc. I have never seen anyone who cooks so efficiently and doesn't waste time, or steps. You do a great job.
I love the biscuit recipe and have made it several times since I saw it. I did make a couple of changes to make things easier for me. The first time I made them I didn't have my pastry or biscuit cutters so I took my butter from the freezer and used a grater. All I had to do then was toss the butter and flour with a fork before I added the liquid. When I rolled it out the last time I cut it into squares. The other thing I do is put my recipes into an app I have on my phone called paprika. I have the basic recipe and I can choose how many batches I want and it does all the math for me. It's something I've had for years and I love it. It has so many features and it really saves me time. Lol, this isn't an ad. It's just something that's made my life a bit easier.
Ever since you announced your pregnancy, I've been waiting for a massive freezer meal prep for postpartum video. I'm so ready to watch this video. I just heated up some leftovers for lunch and I'm ready to sit back and enjoy my meal while watching your video :)
I made the flaky biscuits and ty they were really good! This says a lot, I struggle with baking, although I'm a pretty good cook, I'm usually disappointed with my baked goods (other than a very few recipes I've been baking for many years). Thank you Becky!!!❤️
I looked up giving pepper seeds to chickens and learned that the pepper seeds are a good parasite treatment. It was very interesting. Your girls are so cute.
Oh my gracious! Becky… it’s like you’ve picked up on my fears. I’m making the official Thanksgiving apple pie this year (I’ve never made a pie) and I’m legit freaked. This video is an answer to all my worries. Thank you!!
Key to apple pie is that apples shrink A LOT! Use twice as many as you think unless you’re following a set recipe. My first pie was all crust and a smear of apples lol
I know you have mentioned that somewhere down the line you would like to remodel your kitchen. I think your kitchen is a great working kitchen. You have the space, the appliances and a pretty terrific island. Don’t change too much!
You taught me to have vegetable or chicken Stock canned. I just live it. I open a jar, bring it to simmer, add grated carrots, sellerie, some mee nudels and you have a tasty, healthy meal in 5 minutes. Food is a livesafer with Kids. You can deal with being tired, you can deal with being hungry but not both.
I never really liked bacon growing up but my parents started raising a pig every spring and the bacon we get from our pig is always AMAZING! Definitely turned me into someone who likes bacon!
Love your channel, Becky. Even we grandmothers love new ideas and unearthing the new tools we've bought and forget to use - silicon bags among them. Amazed again at your energy and much as we love your episodes, do take time off when you're tired. We'll still be here when you're back. Have a feeling your mom tells you the same. Time for your nap!
Southerner here, where we LOVE our biscuits… it’s so easy to make “Cream Biscuits” where there’s no cutting in the fat into the flour. The heavy cream provides the fat. I make a X4 batch, as well… 2 plain for breakfast and then add shredded sharp cheddar for 2 batches of cheese biscuits to go with lunch or dinner. These freeze beautifully and I cook mine at 425 from frozen, as well. It was a game changer when I found this recipe! I laminate my dough, too😀
Omg! Let me say I've made a million pie crusts and they ALWAYS fail. This year I made yours...still a fail...but closer than I've ever come before. Omg the flakes were unreal!!! The crust tastes better than any crust I've ever had holy cow!!! Your amazing becky...WOW!!!!
I had to smile when you forgot the salt in the pizza dough - it reminded me of my grandmother who I believe was the world's best cook. She always allowed me to "help" her cook and once we made a layer cake for a cousin's birthday and as we were cleaning up the kitchen after placing the cake in the oven, she said "oh no." She walked over and opened the oven door and stirred baking powder into the already baking layers. Of course, they were perfect. As was she.

Now my eyes are a lil wet...❤️

It’s better to flatten the pizza crust you get more into the freezer I hope this helps
Right! I'm 50 and I've learned so many names of things and what all those unused spices were for! She is awesome!
Which episode was baked oatmeal done. Would like recipe b/c never heard of it either.
@@hopefulton8669 no specific episode, she makes it ALL THE TIME!!
Freeze dry buttermilk so you always have it on hand! And pumpkin powder is a game changer too!
Haven't heard of pumpkin powder. How do you use it?
Pumpkin powder is great fpr dogs
@@jenniferh1416 Freeze dried pumpkin puree, powder it, then when you want pumpkin puree just add water to get the texture of pumpkin puree. Use it just like canned pumpkin.
Just one word -WOW!
I use a box grater and shred my frozen butter, so much easier to mix in:)
I have a TH-cam channel where I cook. I am still cracking up at how many people watch and LOVE the biscuit video. Yep, frozen butter and box grater is the key to fabulousness!😄
Like this idea. Do have a grater but not a food processor.
Because of you, I can now make homemade pie dough - trying homemade pizza dough next! I also grew tomatoes successfully and will try other vegetables next year because of your videos!. My husband laughs when I say "Becky says...." Thank you for a wholesome channel and videos! ❤
I'm so in awe of you Becky. I've had 3 babies and I never worked half as hard as you do during any of my pregnancies. I know you're right up at the end of yours now so I'm seriously WILDLY impressed with you. 🙌🙌
IKR she is so awesome. I was trying to do alot but my body said “nope”
Same! I just hope she feels ok making someone else (josh, relative, whoever) do things so she can rest. My husband had to do a lot of cooking and frankly, I let him eat sandwiches if he wanted something from me.😆
You are a kitchen wizard holy cow! I know how good you must feel getting so much done. You are glowing!
Try adding herbs to your pizza dough! I add garlic powder, onion flakes, parsley flakes, basil, oregano and parmesan to the dough. SO FREAKING GOOD!
You're nesting, Becky! I was thinking- that garlic infused oil would be delicious on future pizza crusts 💞 Congrats on getting so much accomplished!
I was thinking the same thing. Definitely nesting!
Hey Becky, a good way to use up your dirty aluminum foil is to put it into your dishwasher. Just squees it into a clump and put it into the area where your forks, spoons, etc... are. the foil will give back the nice silvery shine on the cutlery (Chemistry thing). For me its a nice way feeling better not to throw the aluminum foil after one use in the trash AND u will get nice and shiny cutlery :) the same foil works for multiple washes - you can see how it becomes mat after a frew rounds in the dish washer. Maybe you will give it a try ^^ - Best wishes from Germany ♥
I love watching Becky I have learned so much. From just grow food I can wait to see in 3 months my hard work I did
I made ghee for the first time last week and was so proud of myself. I used 2 lbs salter and 2 lbs unsalted so it wouldn't be too salty. It made 7 half pints. Boy do scrambled eggs taste good cooked with it. It smells devine. Funny that if you taste it, it's oily with barely a hint of butter flavor, but the eggs fried in it - fabulous and buttery flavored. You inspired me to try many new things this year. Next is to gather the supplies to make my own vanilla.
i made my vanilla tday im going to make some more this week ready to use next summer.x
One thing I told Becky was to scrape the insides of her vanilla beans out to put in your vanilla. Put the hulls of the pod into sugar to make vanilla sugar. It’s great for baking! It doesn’t take but 2-3 pods per 5 lb bag of sugar. Depends on how strong you want the sugar. I’ve yet to see her do it but maybe next time as I just told her about it.
@@reneeallen3569 I have never heard of that but I will give it a try. I have been making vanilla for years and it tastes so much better than what you get in a store
@@justmepraying it gives you more bang for your buck. There’s a famous chef who does this but I can’t remember who. If I do I will post it.
Is ghee made from salted butter really that salty? I have made about 24 pounds of ghee using salted butter
Becky, I made the buttery biscuits for breakfast yesterday and they were so good! My husband is a very picky eater and I get 1 try with new recipes. He ate 6 of these biscuits in one setting!!! Thanks again for all your work!
You’re such a joy to watch. You’re so knowledgeable of everything home. Can’t wait for your baby to arrive.
I've learned so much from this channel Becky, thank you. Even though I'm 62 years old, raised two children and now have 4 grandchildren I basically never really learned how to cook. My Mom didn't like to cook and rarely did and she never taught me to cook a thing. Then I went to live my my Dad at 15, my older sister stayed with our Mom and after a few science projects my Dad and I went the sandwhich, ready made, or eat out food route. I did learn a few tried and true and had a couple of favorite cook books when my kids were growing up. I found that going all out was wasted on them and they prefered the few tried and true or simple things. Now I have the time and really enjoy cooking even if it's just for myself. I often freeze leftovers or share some with neighbors when I go all out. Take care and God bless you and yours.
I am going to make a big batch of those biscuits soon, they look wonderful and I love the idea of having them ready to bake anytime I want. Thanks Becky for the great recipes and inspiration!
same
me too 😁
Just something to think about for next time you cook a bunch of bacon. So your bacon does not sit in the grease use cooling racks. This will allow the bacon grease to drip off. You can then pour your grease in a jar without having too much left on your bacon.
Love the idea of having biscuits ready when you want them. I just pulled a pie dough out of the freezer. Such a time saver. Thanks to you, I have so many 'ready to go' things in my freezer just waiting for when I don't feel like cooking.
I am new to your channel and it has quickly become my favorite!
You can freeze or can the liquid from your pumpkins to add to soup broth. It adds a wonderful layer of flavor.
That's what I was thinking. There's nutrition in that!
I love your channel! Such a nice distraction from all the craziness while also learning new skills! I’ll definitely try the pizza dough!
Hi Becky, I just wanted to let you know that my 5year old absolutely loves your channel and I do too. Every time we are going through TH-cam and she sees your channel ‘Mom the cooking one’ 😂 that’s what she calls your channel. She loves everything you do and I’ve not seen her get that excited over any other channel👍🏼
My five year old loves her too "maaaama I heard Becky so I came in your room" 🤣🤣🤣
I love this, so dang cute and she will be an expert chef when she grows up ❤️
@@christina7088 I’m 65 and I do the same thing your daughter does. I keep sharing with my daughter (43, Lol). She’s a hood cook. But we never prepare early or cook and freeze. But watching Becky just relaxes me. Even though I know that the more time goes by, I feel bad. Because I know she’s got to be exhausted. It’s gonna be time before we know it. It’s going so fast.
Yes my 5 year old loves Ms Becky in the cooking show, and requests it as her daily show!
No matter the length of the video, I am always sad when it ends. Just love your channel. I think your chickens wanted you more than the pumpkin.🥰
Hooray for a postpartum meal prep video! I’m due with baby #2 on Turkey day this year 💕 your freezer meal prep videos help a lot! I never prepped with #1 and it would’ve been a life saver. I’ve learned so much with your videos and can’t thank you enough!! 💝
Congratulations!! ❤
My mom bought me a bunch of freezer meals for my first. She felt bad that she lived too far to help in any other way. It helped so much that I meal prepped a lot for #2 and #3. My pregnancies were terrible too, so it helped all the more to have extra for prebaby as much as postbaby
Aww congratulations!!! Do you know what you're having?
Congratulations and I wish you and baby good health!
My 1st baby was born on Thanksgiving years ago. Clarissa, let someone else do the cooking for you if you go into labour that day! It’s no fun basting a turkey in the midst of contractions! Lol, best wishes with your baby!
I think this will make it so much easier for you as you transition into motherhood. A good head start. You already have the skills, and your timing is amazing. You will find your own rhythm that works best for you and your family, and this family too. And Becky, you are just glowing.
Hi Becky! I love your channel, making ahead for postpartum is smart and your advice is invaluable to expectant moms. I'm an old granny now but still learn from you. My next project is to make your bread, I always avoided breads but you have given me confidence to try. Thanks so much for sharing with us, love from Sue in Ohio ❤️
Her bread is amazing, it has become a staple in our home.
I just wish I had a counter in my kitchen. Our glass stove top serves as our counter for prepping everything. Freezer meals have saved me many times, so I appreciate these videos!
Every time you talk about salt in your dough, I’m reminded of my Mother. Both of her parents passed when she was 15 and 16. 6 months apart. She was shuffled around to her older brothers and sisters homes. She married my father when she was very young. 17. My fathers family owned and ran a sawmill. So there were seasons where all the brothers and their families live at the Sawmill camps. They had cute little cabins. My mother was the only wife that didn’t have any kids. So she decided she’d get flour from the other wives and make a huge batch of bread. She wanted to help out so bad. BUT…. She forgot the salt. Lol. They would usually have a pot luck dinner and everyone would sit out by a camp fire and enjoy each other’s company. I had some scary Uncles. Lol. My Mom said she was terrified of the oldest brother. She said he tried to be nice about it. But he’d pick up the salt shaker and glare at her while sprinkling salt on his bread. Lol. It has helped me to never, ever forget the salt in any dough recipe. Lol
I love family stories. This was so unique and rich with fading history of such hard work and loyalty. How wonderful that she passed this event with such great detail to you! Thanks for sharing that.
@@deborahm7667 I remember it so vividly because she baked bread, rolls, pie crusts, she made homemade noodles for soup, lots of pastas. She constantly reminded us to remember the salt. Lol. We heard the story at least once a year. Then she would cook with our kids. So the story would come back as they learned to cook with Grandma. My Mom loved it when she’d have her first cooking session with one of the kids. She’d start to tell her story and our kids would say, “Oh yeah Grandma! Mom told us.” They’d kind of chuckle a little as they asked her which Uncle scared her the most. This was one of my favorite stories. Lol
The community of people that follow you, Becky, is amazing! I love reading the encouraging and helpful comments. Your genuine and authentic videos brings authenticity out of us all. Please never stop being you! I have made lots of the biscuits for the freezer, and use spelt flour instead of AP. Its so delish!
I would’ve kept the pumpkin water, frozen it and included it when you’re making broth next, as I’m sure it has vitamins and goodies from the pumpkins… 🤗
What a great idea!!
I do this: it always seemed like such a waste to throw it away.
Wonder if you can add butter,vannila & honey or a little maple syrup to the pumpkin liquid,boil it down & use over pancakes,pound cake & biscuits???
@@bosslady2002 😮. That sounds amazing.
I never realized how cute chickens can be until you got them! I love seeing them run to you when you call them. They are always so happy to see you.
I am Greek… watching from Greece so it is really nice when you explain things that are not universal!!! LOVE your channel ❤
What part of Greece husband is from Piraeus
@@natalieketchelos4177 oh thats nice!! I am from Ioannina…
@@birbilomata hoping one day to go to Greece to see Orfea home country. Have a good day.
@@natalieketchelos4177 I wish you do!! Greece is a very beautiful country!! All the best!
Oh my gosh how cute with the chickens!
Since you bake a lot with buttermilk, it would be a good idea for you to get kefir grains and make your own kefir/buttermilk to have on hand at all times. I use my kefir like I would buttermilk, as to me it's same thing. I also drink a lot of it (great for gut health) so i always have a small pitcher of it in my fridge. It's very low maintenance too!
I made my best spaghetti sauce ever last night because I followed your advice and seasoned as I went! Wow! My husband said, “THIB!”
TGIB! Geez!
I once forgot to add salt. It was a small batch like what you did here. I made extremely briney water and just poured a little brine on my hands as I kneaded. My mother and I baked bread every Sunday. We had a large family so the amount of dough was 4 - 5 times as much ad you made. All the extended family knew our Sunday routine so the bread was all gone by the end of the day. So much love in Sundays.
That's awesome!!😊🥰🙏
I don’t know how many times I can say OMG but you are absolutely amazing! The amount of cooking you accomplish in a day is unbelievable! You have inspired everyone that watches your channel. You truly are one in a million. 💜👶🏻💙🥰🌟🦃
Arrrrr I have been waiting for this video, prep as much as you can for postpartum. Day turns into night, night turns into day and you won’t know which way is up or down, it’s exhausting but so soo sooooo frickin amazing ♥️
I love raspberry tea too!
You can make homemade biscuits and gravy super easily if you have cooked sausage and frozen biscuits!
You are amazing. I'm 83 had 4 kids, and like you always busy. My first baby was born in 5 hours. My older sister already had 3 kids, and gave me so many good advice when going into labor. Love you from Hawaii ALOHA
Wow what a production today. You are getting all stocked up for postpartum! Good for you. I'm going to try your biscuit recipe because I usually buy Pilsbury frozen biscuits in bulk but if I can make them that would be great. Thank you so much for posting. Stay safe, stay well. Relax
You are a hard working pregnant woman you never stop lol... a womans body is an amazing thing...we can run around doing all the day to day tasks while growing a tiny human inside us 🥰🥰
I made your sausage stuffing for our Canadian Thanksgiving. It was fabulous 😄. I also made your stuffed peppers using ground turkey and they were a big hit too 😋
I believe I would be losing my mind right now without your videos from this week to catch up on I am sitting in the ICU waiting room as they just took my husband in for a very unexpected open heart surgery for two 99% and a 95% blockages Until I found your page, 15 minutes was my absolute max for how long a video I would stay for but since finding your page I have literally spent enjoyable days long marathons trying to go back and catch up from when your page started I've loved and WANTED to watch your videos since, but today is the first day that I have NEEDED your videos to keep my mind calm and distracted for HOURS Thank you Becky
Praying for you & your husband tonight. I've spent MANY nights in ICU waiting rooms in the past.
As a mom of 5 you give me so much motivation to just “get it done”! Love your channel so much and hope you have a fantastic holiday season into the new season of motherhood. Toughest hood I’ve ever lived in but feel so confident you’re going to have such a smooth time during the transition ♥️✨ blessings to you and yours!
you are just awesome. I was so glad that you haven't forgot the salt in the Pizza dough. It fascinate me how much nice things you make in one day. And your chickens / the "girls" are so cute. How they came when you give them the pumpkin seeds - just amazing. Much love and all the best for you and your family.
Thank you Becky....For being amazing. Absolutely appreciate you and your videos. Great tips, words of encouragement, and educational...and so much more! Thanks Friend!!!!
Your so happy all the time. I'm glad you said in your last video that you do rest. X
I'm at work and got supper excited to see Becky pop up, this is what I'm doing on my lunch break 🤗
You are an absolute legend! I love your channel and it was one of the major motivators for me to start cooking more at home (which is something I always struggled with; I never felt like I was capable of cooking). I’ve kind of fallen in love with making my own breads, pizza dough, and my son has been loving the home cooked meals more than I ever thought he would.
I made those biscuits yesterday for dinner. I saw you cook them from frozen in a previous video recently. They were soooo good!! I will definitely be making a big batch for the freezer 🤗 Thank you!!
I could watch your videos all day! I think you have this biscuit making down to a T! I need to work on mine haha!
Aw thanks! I loved your last video! I need to do the same :)
So glad you're planning ahead on the meals. I never did that and looking back it would have been so so handy.
It’s now 6:25 a.m. where I live, so I’ve watched your videos all night! I have some nights that I cannot sleep since my hubby passed away and I’m very thankful that I found your channel! You not only post some “delicious” videos, but you have a lot of super ideas “packed” in, too! I have my daughter, her hubby, and two wonderful grandsons, both in high school, who live nearby and I enjoy cooking for them, so your recipes are tried and enjoyed! Now you have a precious little boy, too! Congratulations on welcoming him into your lives! You and your hubby are blessed! He will grow very quickly, so I hope you received a “Baby Book” for him because you want to write little notes very often...everything from when his cord came off, first smile first checkup and how much weight he has gained! It’s fun to add new things and they happen very often! I know so many things are computerized now, but “Baby’s Book” should not be one of those! They usually go from birth to kindergarten or first grade...to when they begin to lose baby teeth! He will love watching you put pictures of him in it, too! Take care! Thanks for the ideas and recipes!
Gosh that pizza dough was a major workout for you. My guess is you will never forget salt again. Live and learn. I so love all of your hints and suggestions for ways to make the most of our time in the kitchen. Thank you for sharing with us. It was nice to see your girls outside in this video. Looks like they have adjusted to the new house nicely. The dishes can wait. They will be there when you feel up to dealing with them. Go relax!
In lieu of disposing the pumpkin "juice," try freezing it. It makes a perfect base for using in any soup or sauce. You can also transform it into a vegetable stock.
This is perfect for post partum but also for fresh food prep ideas for families ❤ loved it! I love making apple pizza with homemade dough i prep.
Apple pizza?
Do tell details of this apple pizza you speak of please.....
apple pie filling on top of pizza dough with homemade butter cream icing drizzled ❤😊
Bake it then drizzle icing ❤
That sounds so good!!!!!!
thank you Becky, im learning to cook because of you!
Hey Becky! We have a farm in the Highlands of Scotland and have been so inspired by you over the last couple of years that we have decided to start our own channel. I can't wait to meet your little one when they come along. My 4 kids love watching you cook and we all try to recreate your recipes. Some how me and 4 kids don't achieve as much as you though haha. This year for Christmas I'm surprising the kids with some of your peanut brittle, a total throw back to my own childhood! Keep up the amazing work and thankyou for having an energy level that's contagious. There are many days that I need it =)
I didn't know about the different textures of the pumpkins. Love learning new things on your videos!!! Thanks a lot!
Wow awesome I learned a lot about pizza and pie crusts. You were vibing at a much calmer frequency, you got a lot done and we learned as well. I like the large meal preps. Remember the baby feels your energy. I used tape head phones on my stomach when I was busy keeping him distracted around my energy . Today , I smile how much he enjoys music and even knows organically every artist. He just turned 28-an awesome dude.
Glad she explained half and half. Always wondered what it was 🤔
You are completely amazing!!! What a great video. I do these things too, but not on the scale you do. I always keep cooked hamburger, italian sausage and chorizo in the freezer for pizza, omlets, breakfast burritos, etc. I have never seen anyone who cooks so efficiently and doesn't waste time, or steps. You do a great job.
Well said!❤
I love the biscuit recipe and have made it several times since I saw it. I did make a couple of changes to make things easier for me. The first time I made them I didn't have my pastry or biscuit cutters so I took my butter from the freezer and used a grater. All I had to do then was toss the butter and flour with a fork before I added the liquid. When I rolled it out the last time I cut it into squares.
The other thing I do is put my recipes into an app I have on my phone called paprika. I have the basic recipe and I can choose how many batches I want and it does all the math for me. It's something I've had for years and I love it. It has so many features and it really saves me time. Lol, this isn't an ad. It's just something that's made my life a bit easier.
Ever since you announced your pregnancy, I've been waiting for a massive freezer meal prep for postpartum video. I'm so ready to watch this video. I just heated up some leftovers for lunch and I'm ready to sit back and enjoy my meal while watching your video :)
I made the flaky biscuits and ty they were really good! This says a lot, I struggle with baking, although I'm a pretty good cook, I'm usually disappointed with my baked goods (other than a very few recipes I've been baking for many years).
Thank you Becky!!!❤️
Becky you always amaze me with your energy. What a productive day for you. You deserve a rest with your tea. Hugs from South Carolina ❤
Oh I love to watch you mix and knead your dough!
You really knocked it outta the park today Becky. You got so much done.💚
I looked up giving pepper seeds to chickens and learned that the pepper seeds are a good parasite treatment. It was very interesting. Your girls are so cute.
Oh my gracious! Becky… it’s like you’ve picked up on my fears. I’m making the official Thanksgiving apple pie this year (I’ve never made a pie) and I’m legit freaked. This video is an answer to all my worries. Thank you!!
Key to apple pie is that apples shrink A LOT! Use twice as many as you think unless you’re following a set recipe. My first pie was all crust and a smear of apples lol
I know you have mentioned that somewhere down the line you would like to remodel your kitchen. I think your kitchen is a great working kitchen. You have the space, the appliances and a pretty terrific island. Don’t change too much!
You taught me to have vegetable or chicken Stock canned. I just live it. I open a jar, bring it to simmer, add grated carrots, sellerie, some mee nudels and you have a tasty, healthy meal in 5 minutes.
Food is a livesafer with Kids. You can deal with being tired, you can deal with being hungry but not both.
I never really liked bacon growing up but my parents started raising a pig every spring and the bacon we get from our pig is always AMAZING! Definitely turned me into someone who likes bacon!
Love your channel, Becky. Even we grandmothers love new ideas and unearthing the new tools we've bought and forget to use - silicon bags among them. Amazed again at your energy and much as we love your episodes, do take time off when you're tired. We'll still be here when you're back. Have a feeling your mom tells you the same. Time for your nap!
My sentiments too!💚
Traditionally most bread from Tuscany has been made without salt for hundreds of years including regions from Umbria, Lazio and Le Maeche.
You make me feel so good inside. You're warm, kind, hospitable and a joy to watch. You're a good friend Becky. You deserve much happiness in life.
Southerner here, where we LOVE our biscuits… it’s so easy to make “Cream Biscuits” where there’s no cutting in the fat into the flour. The heavy cream provides the fat. I make a X4 batch, as well… 2 plain for breakfast and then add shredded sharp cheddar for 2 batches of cheese biscuits to go with lunch or dinner. These freeze beautifully and I cook mine at 425 from frozen, as well. It was a game changer when I found this recipe! I laminate my dough, too😀
Hope you’re having an amazing day! I’m nervous as we get closer to your due date! I’m sooo looking forward to this new chapter in your life! ❤
Omg! Let me say I've made a million pie crusts and they ALWAYS fail. This year I made yours...still a fail...but closer than I've ever come before. Omg the flakes were unreal!!! The crust tastes better than any crust I've ever had holy cow!!! Your amazing becky...WOW!!!!
Those biscuits are gonna be so good & handy for when you need them! Such a clever baker & food prepper👍🏼😋
Becky ~ MAKE SQUARE BISCUITS. You eliminate the need to re-roll. Much easier to store frozen squares, than circles.
