Becky, I am so happy that I am not the only one who, makes messes, throws away half a batch of something I’m baking, burns myself, burns cookies, cuts my fingers, makes more messes and learns to crack eggs in a separate bowl the hard way! Thank you so much for not cutting your lovely mishaps out of your videos. Makes me feel so great full for people like you
You are not alone!!
Right I don’t think most people would admit they messed up or even show it but I love how down to earth Becky is in her own kitchen and just straight up honestly 👏🏾👏🏾.
I have also had to throw a batch of cookies away but I had only added the dry ingredients. I plugged my my mixer and didn’t realize I had it on high speed 🤣 flour all over the kitchen! I had to start over. It was organic flour too so that hurt. Lesson learned though
My mom always says "El perezoso trabaja doblé". I hate that saying because translated it says the lazy one works double. However she is right. Whenever I try to cut corners things are bound to go weird. My sorry that she had to throw out so much but we really appreciate it!
You are for sure NOT alone Jenifer!! First, it should be noted that my nickname is “klutz” and has been my whole life…. Since I could walk 😬…. Probably before that even!! I’m sure I was also a klutz in my little baby walker as well 😂
So a Funny quick story….. one time, about 5ish or so years ago….. I was mixing up some homemade “cream of soup” mixes for gifts for Christmas. I was going to put them in cute antique mason jars with antique glass domed lids….. it took me forever to collect all the jars and get them all washed up! I bet it took me over a year or so of going garage sale-ing and also going to antique stores etc….. I wanted them to be super special!
So I mixed up a MASSIVE batch of this yummy (so I thought 😬) homemade “cream of soup” mix…
Now I keep my kitchen ingredients I use a lot in bulk, in large half gallon Ball glass jars….I put the labels as to what they are, on the lid.
It should also be noted that I’m fairly blind now and without my glasses, I have vision of course but it’s extremely blurry…. Especially when up close…I frequently cook in the evening when I’m super tired… and so I will be in the kitchen without my glasses…. Unless I have to do an exact measurement of something small….I often will go commando and not wear my glasses…
Not sure how it happened…. (Fairly certain it was the no glasses issue) But my baking soda and cornstarch somehow got mixed up…… I always put everything back in its place in my kitchen but the menfolk in this house, have been known to do different 😑
so I used baking soda INSTEAD of cornstarch….. which made the “cream of soup” mix EXTREMELY salty 😵💫😢 and rendered it unusable…. There was no fixing it…. But I didn’t know this had happened at first…….until….
Thank the LORD I used some of this batch that I was going to give as gifts for dinner that very same night…..
It ruined my dinner I was making BUT at least I figured it out BEFORE I gave it as gifts!!
I figured it out right away because the “cream of soup mix” bubbled when I added it to the meal I was making (which had a little vinegar in it) 😂😂….
It’s funny years later…. But at first…. I wasn’t laughing…
So yes….. these things happen to me on the daily in my kitchen too!! All the things happen!!
I probably could write a book on all my silly kitchen adventures 😜
Your positivity is so contagious! I'm always so happy watching your videos, whatever the content!
You're the best! thank you!!
I love baking cookies and making candy. I use to work at a Candy/Nut shop in my early 20's in the mall. I loved my job.
My family are big almond lovers so I make the snowball cookies with almonds. I used to make a crescent shaped lemons cookie but the snow balls are easier. I’m also gaining to make some spice cookies. They go great with a cup of tea, which I know you love lol. You’re kicking out some cookies there young lady. Keep up the good work. Love your videos! ❤️
you can also use the end of a wisk handle to make the "thumb print indents" - it makes them uniform and centered.
I make my snow balls with pecans. Mom always called them Pecan Puffs. I also make the ginger snaps, but I've never refrigerated the dough and they come out great! Maybe our recipes are slightly different--i just saw the difference--i press my cookies down with a glass instead of keeping them round.
Also what has made my candy making life easier is to keep the scissors I have in the kitchen, handy to open all those bags.
I want to make my own brown sugar!! Thanks for the recipe!!
Becky, I bake 12 different cookies at Christmas. Usually includes brownies too. I have stackable cooling racks. They take up less space on the counter because you just keep stacking. They're a life saver. Happy baking! Merry Christmas!
I love the thumbprints too! Ever heard them called "Bird Nests"? My boss made them and called them that now I do too. I use nuts alot too.
Love that you are so real and authentic girl. You don’t know how many times I’ve burned stuff too because I refuse to use a timer sometimes. Lol 😂 🤦🏻♀️ - Ashley , McKinney Tx.
I had the first bad egg of my life a few months ago. I’m so sorry you found yours. I’m now with you in the crack-them-into-a-separate-bowl team!
Thank you for the inspiration to get going on my cookie baking!
I randomly found you on YT and am obsessed!! Thank you for sharing your content and taking time to bring us into your kitchen and life 🙂
Here's a hack for next year's baking. Use the back of your smaller scoop to dent the thumb print. It makes the perfect little jelly well.
Becky - You crack me up!! I sooooo enjoy watching your videos. I feel like I have a new friend. We are so much alike! lol
Always! Always! Always! Crack eggs into a separate bowl as my grandmother said!
I've been there and done it myself!
나는 크린베리쨈이 있는 쿠키를 만들고싶지만 알아들을수가 없어서 너무 슬픕니다.🥺 그리고 당신의 쿠키는 정말 맛나보여요😄
I've learned to always crack eggs into a separate dish/bowl, not just for freshness, but also for shells (yes, I'm clumsy! LOL).
Thank you for the cookie video. I can't wait to see the candies video. I am a chocoholic. I have a question about your stove. May I ask what brand and where did you purchase it from? I want to update my oven at home, but I want one with 2 ovens, Not 1 oven and a storage drawer that I never use. Please and Thank you in advance. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Debra
Anybody else have Siri set a timer for you when Becky set her timer? Lol
Becky, I have bought a cookie scoop on 2 different occasions and both times they broke the first time using it. Any special brand you would recommend? Also, any special occasion that you have the henna done on your hand? I have never seen it on your hand before and have only ever seen it when my friend from Pakistan got married her hands were done. Just curious it looks beautiful
I know this is very old but I've never seen anyone mention it. Before i start the actual measuring & mixing I put all of my ingredients to the left of my work space/bowl & as I use them I put them down to the right. Then I know if I've forgotten anything it will still be on the counter, left of the bowl. I must have learned this 40 years ago & it's 2nd nature to me & it's saved me a few times. Maybe it will be helpful to start this habit because it is painful to throw ingredients away.
Apple butter in thumbprints are delicious. I left a couple dozen thumbprints this year empty just so that I could try it and I'm definitely going to make it a tradition
On your cookies that have walnuts can you use almonds? Most of my family is allergic to walnuts and pecans.
Greeks make then also and out a clove stick in it
That first batch was such a mess! 😂😂
Becky, I HAVE to share this with you! My mom once served as church hostess and since we had a LARGE congregation it was quite a job. The ladies were making cakes in the church kitchen one day when one of the deacons (who was known to be a bit of a know-it-all) walked in and saw my mother cracking eggs individually into a separate bowl, just like you did. He sort of snorted as he watched my mother adding those eggs one at a time and said "Sara, what in the world are you doing?" My mom explained that sometimes you get a bad egg. That man threw his head back, roared with laughter and said he'd "never heard of such a thing." In a moment of what I guess could have been divine intervention the VERY NEXT CRACKED EGG WAS ROTTEN and it smelled! My mother couldn't have been happier! She's almost 86 years old and she still tells that story whenever someone is cracking eggs, lol.
Such a cute story! 😂❤
Ha. That is a great story. How ppl have the confidence to laugh at someone that probably has decades more experience cooking than he has, is beyond me.
The Lord works in mysterious ways !
Great story❤
Love it!!
Also… one recipe I caught 3 double yolks! Good thing I was cracking into a separate bowl! Wish I had laid odds!😂
This video reminds of when you and all your friends would have BIG cookie baking days at our house! So much fun! Susan, Becky’s mom/
You have a wonderful Daughter, I just found her and she’s great.
💜💜💜
I was literally seed shopping when the notification came in that Becky had posted another video so I had to hop on over to YT to watch. Anybody else (43 yrs old) wanna be like Becky when they grow up?🤣
Aw you are so sweet, Carrie!!
Me!!!
yes!! if only I could go back 30 years
Me. I am already 75 so getting close. LOL
@@christinebrush4399 😆
Becky, sooo grateful you are down to earth enough to leave in the “oops!” Because we are all human and stuff happens and it’s ok!! 🥰 I too had to learn the hard way on the eggs!! Cookies look great 👍🏼
Hi Becky 👋 Baking tip** Next time you have burnt bottoms or edges you can use your microplane grater. It shaves off just enough without altering the shape of your cookie.
Exactly what I do...not that I ever burn anything?
Lol, I had said out loud while watching her, “Becky, use a nutmeg grater”! But she didn’t hear me.
@@BluegrassRoze 😆 same!
Brilliant idea. I use baking stones and they really help prevent burning.
Good tip!!
Watching you crack that egg I was actually thinking boy she has lots of trust in her hens. I have learned just like you did you can’t always trust those eggs whether fresh or store bought. That what makes you so enjoyable to watch. You just roll with life and keep moving forward. Proud of you
Yep, you are your mother. Smiled when you taped the instructions (her timetable) to the cabinet. Thanks for cookie recipes. Looking forward to candy.
Hope you enjoy!! It was so helpful!!
I thought the same thing as soon as she showed the taped recipes
I though the same thing.
ج0
Me too
Using a zester works wonders to help shave off burnt pieces. I just had something like this happen with my scones and I used to the zester then put a glaze an nobody noticed lol
Oooo good tip. Thanks for sharing.
The sped up version of you rolling the cookie balls out reminds me of Lucy and Ethel at the candy factory 😂 loved that episode
Yesss 😂😂 my fav
😊😂
Yay! Love your videos!!! I had thyroid cancer in March & a full TT so I can't eat a ton of candy/sugar, but it makes me thankful for another year! Thank you for your videos!
Oh Renae, I will be praying for you!! Thank you for being here!!
All, I can say is -- Rachael Ray, move over! There's a new gal coming into our kitchens around the world and she is awesome. Love your cooking posts ("shows") and all your great tricks and tips. I'm almost 58 yo and have been cooking since I was about 10 to, but I learn something new every time I watch one of your cooking videos. ♥️♥️♥️
I get excited for all of Becky's videos. I'm 40 with 2 kids and love to be in the kitchen but during this pandemic time have hit a huge rut so thankful I've found her this past year. I've binged every episode. I'm so happy that this will be here full time job so we can see her more often. Becky you are amazing and such an inspiration.
Aw Cassy!! Thank you so much!!
You should try walnuts sprinkled 9n strawberry ice cream
Butter wrappers are great folded in half and refrigerating in a sandwich bag to use for greasing your baking dishes. My mother in law taught me 40 years ago and I still do this.
I scrape my butter wrappers with an offset spatula--not enuf left to save! And I have tried. But if you're not quasi OCD and cheap, like me, this works well. I did it when I was younger.
I do the same thing. Taught by one of my Grandmothers.
I also use butter wrappers on cooked. Pastas that I refrigerate with out sauce Keeps them moist and tasty.
Genius ideas!
Yes!
Save your butter wrappers in the freezer and they work perfectly for greasing a pan or dish. Another great video. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
@ Melissa Houck - I do that! It's the most OBVIOUS HACK & yet I never thought of it till I saw video where she did that. She just put hers in the fridge in a zip bag, but I keep mine in the freezer.
Have a great day!
That's a great tip! Thank you 💞😊
Great tip!
I love doing this! I also pop in the little bits that are too small for use elsewhere!
I learned that tip from a woman who used to own a bakery with her husband in Denmark. One of the most frugal people I’ve met in all my life!
I am not sure how I came across your channel! I’m not a homesteader, gardener or cook. I’m a hair stylist and mostly follow that type of content. I am glad that I did because I’m drawn to your personality and you have inspired me to dabble in more cooking/baking! I think it’s so awesome what you have created and it’s super inspiring!
Wow Thank you!
I love how even when things go wrong you just roll with it and move on with a positive attitude! Love your videos.
Yay! The cookie video was a nice surprise today. You inspired me to get my holiday baking done! Also, since I am a French teacher and an Acre Homestead super fan...Palmier is pronounced " palm ee ay ". Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Oh wow thank you!!
Becky, pre-measure and whisk together your dry ingredients when you are baking. It also helps if you line up your ingredients in the order that they are written on your recipes. Less chance of forgetting some ingredients. 😉
I was going to say this myself. Put dry ingredients together in a bowl and THEN add to dough. Less possibility of error.
I do that! Line them up in order and put them to the other side so I know I already added it!
I learned the "whisk your dry ingredients together" lesson when one of the Snickerdoodles I gifted on a Christmas cookie tray contained a lump of baking soda! My poor father was the unlucky one who got it. Will always whisk dry ingredients together well now! Happy Baking Becky!
Becky, I've had the rotten egg experience, the beauty of it is we only have to have that happen once!! Some lessons we only have to experience once. Happy trails Gurl!! Well done!
It is so enduring of you to show your oopsies!! I won't be starting my baking until Friday. I do the same thing. Last year, my youngest daughter (who has since flown the coupe), baked a TON of cookies of different kinds and shipped them all over the country, coast to coast. She had some online friends that were still in some sort of lock down and there were a couple who had serious illnesses going on. It was a pain and expensive to get all of it shipped out. But, I was glad to help her. She did ALL the baking herself. Anyway, cookies and treats this time of year (especially) last year really help with peoples morale. She received things back in the mail, giftcards, letters, cards and some homemade goodies in return. She did not expect anything in return. She just wanted to cheer people up. Most said that her act of kindness made their Christmas since they were having a tough year with all that happened. So, doing this sort of thing is truly a labor of love. I can see that in you. Even though you two are very different young women, I see the spirit inside is very similar in beauty. Merry Christmas, Becky!!
Never feel embarrassed when things go wrong in front of us. It is one of the things that endears you to us. Real life, nothing fake.
The cookies look great.
I was thinking the same thing about putting the eggs directly into the batter. We get farm fresh eggs from a friend too and always use separate bowl after one was all blood.
Cookie scoops are a total game changer, so much faster than doing by hand
Becky don’t sweat the burnt cookies, it happens to all of us (even when I set a timer) . Good thing is it was a small amount of goodies. I love that you still posted that to your YT community , another reason to show us how (real) you are. Enjoy your baking, can’t wait for the candy video 👍🏼😍
I've had the problem of under cooked cookies of late.
@@melanieortiz712 maybe try one of those oven thermometers, maybe your temperature is off 🤔
@@JPRN. nah, I just need to get some cookie scoops😋. I make them too big I think.
@@melanieortiz712 lol I never saw a cookie “too big” that I didn’t like🤣😂, good luck with your baking and Merry Christmas 🎄🎅
I finally did it. You inspired me to do a big freezer meal cooking day. I made 26 meals today. Some of the recipes are from your videos. I'm from Germany and love watching your videos. I myself do alot of preserving food, dehydrating food, etc. Never done freezer meals before until today. Thank you for inspiring me.
Very cute, delicious looking cookies. ❤️
Wow! 26 meals for how many people???
@@zaria5785 My hubby, my two kids and myself- so four people. Eight of the meals are different types of marinaded chicken. So these didn't take much time. :)
Hallo Germany! I have German heritage and I'm making a German main this holiday. Schweinebraten with Amber Lager. And of course cabbage rolls. With sour cabbage. My grandmother from Ukrainian recipe. Many holiday blessings to you and your beautiful family
❣️💚🎄💚❣️
@@jbee4874 awww how cool. We just had a Schweinebraten the other day. :) love it. Good luck and enjoy your Schweinebraten. I'm gonna do a turkey for the first time this Christmas. We usually have goose (which is not typically German, more typically my mom plus its very festive) but since I've watched so many videos about thanksgiving+how to prepare a turkey (beckys included) I thought I'll bring a little bit of USA into our German home.
Very nice to have the large sheet pans, I was so happy when I got them for myself. It makes a difference when you don't have to worry about unused space in the oven. Technically those are half-sheet pans, full sized sheet pans won't fit in a household oven. I only mention it because I buy the precut parchment paper in boxes of 500 sheets at a time and if you don't order the right size that is a lot of money wasted. I do think they are worth it though I've been on the same box for 2 years now and it will easily make it another year or two before I need another box and I don't have the curling paper issue to deal with.
You're a "get er done" kind of lady. You have enough energy to inspire your watchers to make an effort! Thanks 😊
I'm so glad you keep the failures as well as successes. Maybe that is one of the reasons everyone loves you. You are so relatable. We all do stuff like that. I usually burn mine when they "just need 2 more minutes" and I don't set a timer.
I do my thumbprints with almond extract in them. I then roll them in finely chopped almonds and put seedless raspberry jam in the center. Snowballs are one of my favorite cookies.
You can make a double batch of banana bread and put nuts in one for you. I freeze half of anything I bake to eat later. Love to have freezer bags of a variety of cookies ready to eat.
Love those thumbprints
Same thing with cookies, split the batter, half with nuts, half without to please all tastes.
6:28 Thank you for sharing the mistake part - I could learn with you too!! Becky you're the best!
Becky, I must tell you how much I appreciate that you don’t open with a long intro video and then carry on forever about themselves before they get to the point of their video. While you do talk about your family, your home, and other aspects of your life that you wish to share, you do so in a way that is rather chatty and conversational while carrying on with the purpose of your video. I have been following you since the beginning and have never been disappointed but frequently been inspired and educated.
Excited for all the recipes and baking. Thanks for sharing your homestead. I enjoy your videos😊💜👍🏻
Glad you like them! Thank you for being here!!
@@AcreHomestead Welcome 😊
I think the Palmier's are French, and pronounced "palm-ee-ay's". Loved this video! Having a big bake-off with my family this Saturday! We all pitch in on ingredients, and make a whole day of it, with a break for soup and salad for lunch. We bake Swiss Bread, Bratzeli's, and Pecan Crunch, which are family recipes passed down from generations. Hey, dryer lint makes for a good fire starter!
More like PALM - YEEHS. ;)
Potato po-tah-to. I put dryer lint inside cardboard paper towel and toilet paper holders.
We call them palmeritas, excellent with a mid morning coffee, I’m hungry now…
Recipes to share?
Was anyone else unexpectedly satisfied watching Becky clean the sugar w/ the bench scraper? I need one NOW
I thought the same thing
I bought one at the Salvation Army for a quarter, but haven't used it because I forget I have it. I love that she doesn't waste ingredients...I hate food waste.
Me too.
Definitely! I kept thinking "Wow! Not a single cutting board I have is smooth enough to do that!" 😂
Would loveee to see a package with me video when you’re packaging the cookies and candies for gifts!!!❤️
The wedding cookies have been part of our Christmas tradition for several generations. Although our version varies slightly from yours, this helped me recall our original recipe which is currently packed in our storage unit since we just moved! Thanks for sharing these!
I live in Australia and we call the thumbprint cookies 'Jam Drop cookies (aka biscuit)' 😁
That tip about spraying your measuring cup with oil before using for molasses or honey is brilliant! Don't know why I never thought of that. I imagine it would work great for peanut butter as well!
It works for just about any ingredient...I certainly haven't found one that doesn't work.
Yep. I always remember that tip...AS I'm trying to get the sticky stuff out of the measuring cup! 😊
Thank you for a great vid...have a great Christmas ❤🇨🇦
Psst.... my Mom always said a cookie is not burnt...it just well done...and to this day I over bake cookies for myself... I miss my Momma❤
Becky, your cookies looked so yummy and your dad is adorable. He looked so proud of his box of cookies. I'm just curious, how long did it take you to make all those cookies? I would have started 7 AM and ended 11 PM.
Same that’s why I couldn’t believe she was going to do candy afterwards!
@@BountifulHarvestAbby Wow, I forgot about the candy!
Putting my feet up during my kids' naptime: favorite time for a new video!
Wow perfect!! Thank you!!
Literally same!
Becky, the cookies from your bottom oven will be fine. Just let them cool, take your microplane grater and carefully grate off that layer of crispiness, and continue with the powdered sugar step. This will work with any cookie that gets a bit too brown on the bottom. So much easier than using a knife.
My mom taught me to always crack eggs in a separate bowl, fresh or storebought, so you don't accidentally get shell in your dish. I sometimes do and sometimes don't 😂
I love you put the dogs away! I appreciate that so much about you. One of my peeves is people leaving their animals run all over the house and kitchen thinking it’s “cute”.
Drives me nuts !!
I never eat at potlucks for that reason alone.
I just love how you are so open and honest when you make your videos. Mistakes happen, batches get burned, things break, but we start again. Seeing your videos always inspire me to try new things and know that it is ok to mess up and try again. It makes me brave and encourages me to push myself in the kitchen and in life in general. It looks like I am not alone in this sentiment as I read the different comments. :) Thank you for welcoming us into your home and your life it really has been such a treat for me and my family to find your channel this year. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
My daughter and Mum (3 generations) made most of these today. All absolutely perfect recipes. Thank you soooo much. Merry Christmas 🎄
Becky, you've been such a blessing to me. I've been making a lot of your freezer meals and other recipes lately. You've been a lifesaver! I work 4 jobs to make ends meet so freezer meals keep us fed and out of the drive thru. Thank you for what you share!
Instead of cutting off the dark bottoms of your cookies with a knife, try running them across a fine grater. Way easier. Also, I keep a wooden chopstick in my flour container to level off my measuring cups when baking, that way you don’t have to touch it. 👍🏻 Your Cookies look so good. This is the first time in many years that I’m not making any homemade candies or cookies. Packing to move in January. But next year it’s game on. 🎄🎄🎄
Love the tips!! Thank you!🙏👌
Love how you show us when it goes wrong for me part of my baking kit is a cheese grater I burn way more than anyone ever should do got really good at grating the burn bits off loving you channel so doing the play lists at the moment xx
Cookie scoops are sooo useful! I use mine for falafel, for putting icing across things evenly, and all sorts of other things.
When I make banana bread I always make half of the loaf with walnuts and half of it without. (I just sprinkle and stir them into half the loaf after the batter is already in the loaf pan.) My kids don't like the walnuts but I love them!
My daughter doesn’t like nuts in her quick breads or brownies. I have told her that she can make them however she likes, but if Mom is baking then there will be nuts. She’s a teen.
Great idea!!
Or put a silicone divider between the 2 batches and have 2 mini loaves.
I'm 60 years old and have been baking my whole life. In the past 10 years I've noticed that the brown sugar in the store is less and less "brown". Thanks to you I now make my own brown sugar and I LOOOOVE it!!! Thank you!
We have always called the snowball cookies, Mexican Wedding Cakes. Not sure why, thats the way my grandmother made them. Yummy!
When grama would bake pies, we would take the left over dough, roll it out, spread butter on it, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on it, roll it into a log, cut slices and bake it. Those remind my of grama’s. We called them pie crust pin wheels.
You're amazing! Thank you for sharing your full baking adventure...the good and the bad :) You've inspired me to get some recipes together to make a few batches of holiday cookies!
Timer, timer, timer!! I can never trust myself to remember timing. Baking is so much less forgiving than cooking. The recipes look delicious. Those you gift are VERY lucky folks.
Hi Becky! You can also make those “Christmas Crack” cookies with graham crackers. So good.
Yummmm I’ve never made holiday cookies as a Latina my focus is tamales but I may make a few of your cookie recipients this year!!
I hope you love them!!
I grew up making cookies, and in my adulthood it's been tamales. My goddaughter & her cousins I want a cookie day with them this season. It's fun to experience and share it with them. Their Moms are tamalera Queens.
Love the recipes! I've had a few "slightly over baked" cookies before and I just use a microplane to get the yuk off. I'm looking forward to this candy crack recipe. Lol
I love walnuts! I can eat them all day. My mother makes the best Zucchini bread and Banana bread. We love walnuts in both. Those cookies looked so delicious Becky! You are doing a wonderful job on here. You are helping so many people more then you know. That was a Big Score on all those jars! Please, please keep putting up videos! ❤️❤️
Becky, loved your video I make messes too it’s realty . I’m going to try some of your cookie recipes they sound yummy. Can’t wait to see the the Candy section. ❤️
I’m not a baker at all but after watching this video you make me want to go out and buy all the ingredients. I should give it a try soon and if I mess up it’s okay I can just start over.
She's like living sunshine on a dreary day! And the mistakes just make her more so.
I am so disappointed in our local Goodwill which is changing. The canning jars are priced at $1.99 each which means that at 50% off or at the $.99/each they will still cost $.99/ each at thier lowest price. I also saw a number of Dollar Tree bottles priced at $1.99/ each. An old 1970's/1980's, Faberware food processor like those sold on some if the home shopping networks was priced at $49.99 and so on. Pretty much everything which is trending to be sought at from the thrift store had significantly higher prices frim 4-6 weeks ago. They had plenty of Christmws decor which folks weren't particularly picking up.
The amount of time and effort you put into these gifts is so sweet. I’d love to get something like this than a store bought gift any day!! I can’t wait for the candy video.
Hey Becky, here's a tip for adding nuts in banana bread - spread it on top of your loaf. Then, Josh can slice the top part off. My hubby doesn't like nuts either and this was all I could think to do. I really enjoy your videos. You inspire me!
love you and your videos. They have gotten me through so much
Wow, thank you! I am so grateful for that!! Thank you for being here!!
Love watching your videos! But GIRL, watching you fill that mixer with the molasses cookies was giving me anxiety!!!! 😂
I’ve made those ginger molasses cookies for my husband since they are his favorite and he loves that recipe! I was happy to see it on here. Also thanks for this video! I needed some more baking ideas and this helped so much!
@Dian Elizabeth, I’ve made molasses crackles since 1997, a favorite of my oldest son. I am so glad to see a version with butter instead of crisco.
Two things Becky gives a run for the money.... her bowls and that poor poor KitchenAid!! LOVE IT
Your dad is so cute. You can tell he's so proud of you. That smile says it all. 😍 You are so fun to watch!
Becky, now that are you are a full time RUclips Chef/Homesteader it’s time to treat yourself and make a business expense and get yourself the professional 6 or 7 quart Kitchenaid mixer. I love mine. I used to be a professional baker and Caterer and I had several but when I moved from Washington state back to Texas recently I downsized to just one.
I would suggest getting a multiple timer for your kitchen that’s battery powered that you can put in your pocket in case you leave the room or go outside. Also, when something gets a little too brown either cookies or toast etc.. just use your rasp grater that you use for zest or garlic and gently shave off the brown spots. Good as new!😎 Love your videos, love your energy and enthusiasm, love your family..both sides are great! I’m so happy that you get to live your dream full time now…selfishly we all get to benefit from that!
Merry Christmas and much continued success with your channel!❤️❤️
I'm so jealous of your kitchen - mine is so small that I have only about a half a countertop of workspace, so I'm constantly carrying hot baking trays to whatever flat surfaces I can find in the house. I love how organized you are, and also glad to see the mistakes that happen to all of us. Wish I could smell those cookies through my computer!
I feel you! My kitchen is teeny tiny and finding flat surfaces is a constant challenge.
I don't have a kitchen except a sink and fridge and a tray table that holds the microwave....lol I am jealous of anyone who has any kind of kitchen....one day.....
Timers are blessings ... just saying lol 🤭 ... it's so hard to change habits, though! I will try to remember that egg advice, I'd never heard it before but it totally makes sense! Thank you for sharing 🎁🎄
This was such an entertaining video, Becky! From the no no of cracking the egg directly into the batter to stuffing a double batch into the KitchenAid. 😂 Those were the perfect size ginger cookies for gifts. The Palmier cookies would have puffed better, been crispier and taken less time to bake had you loosened the coils a little. I like the results better with homemade pastry (easy as pie, btw) they taste very buttery and cook all the way through. I encourage you to try it. Make 3 batches every 6 months and you're set for the year.
Becky when you said hebbie jebbies I thought I would fall out. My granddaughter is autistic and she can't stand so many things. She will just stop dead and say it's a textual thing. It's fabric, food whatever she comes in contact with.
The Russian tea cake cookies are an all time favourite in this house. I usually make 2 double batches. They are stored in lock n lock and into the freezer. With the cookies I put a box of freezer bags also.
I've made the molasses cookies and they are great! Everyone loved the chewy texture!
The burnt cookies were worth the sacrifice for all those jars! Well done Mom!
