I love the view in the window behind Becky which is overcast and storm ridden while she is in this light flooded kitchen making warm and fuzzy Thanksgiving food. What Thanksgiving is all about.
Absolutely! I asked my parents if I could spend the night with them the day before so I could wake up to the smell of turkey in the morning. So many memories that gives me!
@Nicole.....Yes, cherish the time you have with your parents. My parents are gone now and the holidays have not been the same since. I have my own family but I always feel sad Mom and Dad aren't here.
For extra cheesecake filling I use cupcake liners, put a little crust in each bake a few minutes then add the filling to the liners and bake. It's the perfect dessert for lunches.
I’m 70 years old but I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Also, thanks for the gift idea (battery warmed coffee cup)for coffee or tea drinkers.
She has the PERFECT kitchen, so open, a place for everything, and everything has a place. And I have never seen a drawer so handy in the island for her staples. I don't know where she get her energy.
Every time you take even a few hours extra to upload a video, I start getting excited that you might have had the baby!! You are a super human, can’t wait to enjoy this video!
Me to Ashley iam so excited and worried it the same time thinking Becky have had the baby, now while iam on the subject Becky when is the do day, we will surely miss you but we understand it's baby and Josh some time with you l love you honey and may God bless your family 🤗🙏🤗
Hello from Nine Mile Falls WA🇺🇸💗💯🙏☝️👑🇮🇱 I absolutely love watching your channel....we Wahingtonians love our Costco and Winco!!! Thank you for inspiring me in the kitchen!!!❤
the bulk cooking with several recipes in one video is literally my favorite. Thank you Becky for still choosing to make videos at such a busy time in your life with the house, baby and family!
The egg binds the stuffing. You can add it the day of, just beat really well then add to stuffing mixture, mixing well. I would butter the casserole dish, but if you don't usually, that is how you do, everyone does differently.
If you don't have oranges for zest you can always toss in a spoon of orange marmalade if you have that. It works well and a small amount won't mess with how sweet the cake is.
Great tip! I love cranberry orange scones but often find myself without an orange for zest when I’m just making them with the crasins in the back of the cupboard!
@@grandmasewhappyhomestead187 You know I do that with lemon zest but never thought to keep orange zest on hand as well! Funny how it’s possible to get in a cooking/ preserving rhythm and not make logical leaps to similar items. It’s why I love this channel and community so many tips and good reminders! Thank you for sharing 😊
You’ve created a phenomenal place for all of us to visit. You’re a breath of fresh air and I so enjoy coming to you channel for some quiet time. Thank you for that!
Hello Again, One more teeny tiny tip. I like to make herbed bread. If you're going to use the entire loaf for stuffing croutons (which you did) You can bake your herbs right into the bread.
If you have leftover stuffing or dressing freeze it and make stuffed chicken breast with it. Thanks again for sharing your recipes with us. I hope you enjoyed your family celebrating together.
I have always said that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It's a day just to spend with family and enjoy each other and no pressure to buy gifts. I carry the traditions in the family since my parents and grandparents are passed, but my daughter has started taking over for Thanksgiving. :)
I also put together the green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, and the deviled eggs the day before. I can also put together the dressing the day before, along with the pumpkin pie. Lots of things like this can be done ahead, and baked to perfection the day of, making it so much easier! Thanks Becky!
I so enjoyed watching you. That pumpkin cheesecake is something I would love. Becky when you popped the army load of potatoes in the crock pot I said,,,”no she’s not!”. Yep she did and I giggled! I’m giggling now. Becky your the best. I just love you. I think your due in a month!! What a year you have had. A wonderful mixture of love, life and thankfulness.❤ Enjoy your gathering of Josh’s family. They are so fortunate to have you. Your like a modern example of the Walden’s tv show. That’s one out of many reasons your fun! Your a clean loving family show, ❤🦃❤🦃❤🦃
Becky, I haven't even gotten to watch this video yet, but I came here to say that you alone in the last couple weeks since I found your channel have inspired me and made me fall back in love with my kitchen. I've been wanting to try canning for months. I tried it this week!!! I pressure canned chicken stock, ham bone stock, pasta fagioli (without the pasta), your cowboy candy, homemade Marinara, and today did cranberry sauce and made homemade brownies as well!!! You have inspired me so much, I've learned so much from you! Canning, preserving, baking, freeze drying, what can be frozen, what can be dehydrated, things to buy in bulk. You are a blessing to me and my family!
This is the third video today that l've watched! I subscribed after seeing the first one where you prepare appetizers for a dinner party! You are so good at making your videos and your recipes are easy and great! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I grew up with stuffing made with bread, onion and celery (no sausage). We also did not have green bean or sweet potato casseroles. But we did have fresh cooked green beans and baked sweet potatoes. As well as mashed potatoes and fresh made cranberry sauce. Simple is best.
Yes! Stuff the bird, and stuffing is with sausage, onion, celery, chicken broth and plain old white bread and the magic happens with Bell’s seasoning. My favorite part is the little crispy end cap when you take the stuffing out of the bird. So good.
@Bonita Demas some people don't stuff the bird with the stuffing but instead use lemons and fresh herbs. We love it stuffed! And will take leftovers that don't fit and bake them in the oven separate for anyone who doesn't like it from the bird. It's dryer that way.
I've come very late to your channel. LOVE the way you cook and bake. Your "it's okay, I didn't have __________. But I think it will be okay." is the best attitude to have. Love your channel.
Just watched this video. Even though it's 2 years old, all the dishes looks still delicious! 😊 You are the BEST channel to watch for recipes and cooking tips. You're so FUN to watch and your recipes are amazing!
Becky, we eat that salsa with just tortilla chips, put it on our turkey for the cranberry, and add leftovers to turkey sandwiches. Soooo good!! Your stuffing omg!!!
You can put the pumpkin filling into muffin papers in the muffin tins and make mini cheesecakes. Then when cooked top with Graham cracker crumbs and freeze. They you have a treat whenever you want of mini pumpkin cheesecakes. You'll be happy when the baby comes and you have a treat to pull out when you need a pick me up.
Becky always me smile & laugh when her mixing bowls are way too small for the large amount of ingredients she needs to mix together! I always get a good chuckle!😊
Becky, if you put a bowl of water in the oven along with your cheese cake you won't have cracking. Love watching you, you're home is so nice..you're energy is out of sight!..You're Super Woman!!!
That stuffing is so close to my mom’s. The difference is she would grind up the turkey liver, heart, and giblets and add them with the sausage. There was a lot of meat in that dressing. She would stuff the turkey with part of it and bake the rest.
Because of you I am going to start freeze drying more... Parm Cheese will never be in a green can in my house again (once we use up the one we have of course), cilantro, all the herbs... GARLIC.. once I grow it. too late for me to start in MN right now.. but next year. Minced onions.., GREEN ONIONS.. which ALWAYS start to go in my fridge.. You are a blessing.. and I hope one day to have my own home/gardening youtube.. and be as graceful as you are everyday. My oldest is 18 and in freshman year in college, and youngest is 16 and almost driving, so I'm a bit ahead of your family schedule. But like you, we waited 7 years (after marriage) to have babies. Anyway, I love your attitude, your grace and joy. And I wish you the best on the whole baby situation. You are right. DO YOU. don't worry about living up to expectations on anything. Babies are HARD, all in very different ways. My first was SO different from my second and still is. GO with the flow! and give yourself the grace to overcome! So happy that you are willing to share your homestead with us!
Becky, it was so nice for you to bring us along for your Thanksgiving dinner with Josh's family. Thanksgiving was my favorite holiday until both my parents passed. My son and my husband's son have their own family celebrations. You make all the memories flood back and it is very heartwarming. Thank you!
Tomorrow I’m canning applesauce and raspberry jam! I’ve recently found Pomona’s and you need zero sugar to make jam or jelly! I have about 3 gallons of raspberries frozen and we’ll never use them. I’m a T1D, zero sugar is a bonus. My grandson loves raspberries and this will be great jam. Spend the extra and buy the Pamona’s “sure-jell” instead of the low sugar Sure-Jell since you enjoy more fruit flavor instead of all that sugar. 🌺
It amazes me when I think about my Mom cooking everything from scratch the morning of holidays. I always give myself 2 days with desserts being last on the list to make.I love trying new pumpkin and cranberry recipes each year, but not my family's favorite. Like many families they like the same old casserole. Enjoy Thanksgiving with Josh's family.
Because ovens are all different. I get a very inexpensive oven thermometer to see the true temp. I now know my oven runs 50 degrees colder then what I set it too. I then add 50 degrees to all my baking temps.
We have always traditionally stuffed the turkey for Thanksgiving. The stuffing was basically a loaf of white bread ripped up, eggs, celery, salt, pepper, diced onions and chicken broth. Mix with your hands in a bowl until everything is incorporated and stuff the turkey with it. Any stuffing that doesn't fit in the bird is formed into patties and fried in butter. Then we top it with sour cream (sort of like a potato pancake, but with bread). Super yummy! :)
I loved hearing about your Grandmother's recipe. My Grandmother's is the same, except we use Oysters instead of sausage. I'm the turkey cooker in my family now and I've stopped stuffing the bird. It just made it too dry because you have to cook it so much longer. My Mother in law taught me to hear up the broth before mixing. The bread absorbs it better that way.
This video as always was ever so fun and I'm so excited to try some of your recipes. I know of a lady that does Thanksgiving for over 50 people and she cooks her bird ahead of time takes it off the bones and puts it in a large roaster and pores turkey broth over it. And like you she does her potatoes ahead of time and so the day of the dinner she really doesn't have to do much of anything. My grandma when she would host a dinner and there was a sit-down she would set the table ahead of time I know people that will set the table ahead of time and then lay a large sheet over it if you have pets. But you are not only sharing amazing beautiful tasteful recipes Becky but you're encouraging us to think ahead and not stress the day of. I have to share a story years ago when I was just Married only a few years I had put a whole chicken in the oven and I was so excited in our new to us home and was so excited to make this wonderful chicken dinner. And as time went on I thought well this is odd the chicken wasn't smelling anymore and it wasn't getting done and then I have found out that my oven had broke. Another time when I was making rice pudding and you put the rice pudding inside of a pan of water and I was hosting Christmas that year I went to lift it out of the oven and the bottom pan of water broke. I had rice pudding with an egg custard exploded all inside my oven all over everywhere. I just remember the tears flowed I had three little ones at the time I was hosting over 25 people for dinner plus children. Got it all cleaned up we were fine. That year I hosted Christmas Eve at my home plus Christmas Day at my home to completely different meals. The one on Christmas Eve was Swedish Norwegian with all the Swedish meatballs and lutefisk and sweet or sausage and all the fixing even fruit soup. Becky you're amazing and blessed is Josh and your precious little bundle that is growing soon will be here. I hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving one Josh's family and just know I don't always comment cuz I watch it on my TV but I haven't missed one of your videos yet. Have a blessed day and much love from Minnesota
I really love your videos. My mom makes her dressing the same way, but adds apple and walnuts, which add great flavor and texture as well. I have been binge-watching your videos and am getting so much inspiration.
Becky I so enjoyed. My mom use to stuff the turky when i was a small child she stoped stuffing the bird when dad died (my dad died in the month of November in 1977) it changed the way my family did the holidays after that.when i married i made stuffing on the stove, now that my mom is gone holidays are no longer the same for me. I miss family dinners. Hope you and your inlaws have a wonderful dinner and time together.🙇♀️💕🥧
Becky, when I saw u use the natural fiber scrubber, it made me think, would you grow loofah? Then you'd have your own supply. Plus they're edible when green.
I dry bread in oven.sage sausage, onion, garlic, celery, bitty carrot pieces, mushrooms and chestnut pieces, have a tree, so must use them. Fresh herbs. Have to use the gardens bounty. I get the 24,25# turkey. Like the big legs and wings. Giblet gravy.
We always stuff the bird but we make extra stuffing that we bake. I do traditional stuffing with sausage but I also put fresh cooked mushrooms in with it. Love your channel Becky.
Hi Becky So excited for your upcoming holiday in your new home. I too recently moved. Love your videos. Just one thing; stuffing is cooked inside to bird and dressing is cooked outside the bird. You stuff the bird with stuffing and dress the bird with dressing. Have an awesome thanksgiving.
I’m in Maine, stuffing has always been stuffing but never in the bird! I actually first heard the term “dressing” last year around Thanksgiving and had no clue what it was (outside of salad dressing) until just now! Going to share the upside down cranberry cake with my mom for this holiday season! I’m so obsessed with all of your videos! You have inspired me to start doing freezer meals! On the weekends I have your videos playing all day! Who needs Netflix?!?! I’d rather watch Becky ❤
I make cornbread dressing with dried , stale cornbread, celery, onions , sage , poultry seasoning home canned chicken broth. Yummy , been making it for 45 plus years . I am always ask to bring it to our gathering.
That’s the same way I’ve been making it for 50 yrs just like my Mother and Grandmother it’s the way it’s usually always made here in my southern mountain town in East Tennessee 😋
Hi Becky Sherry here from the Fingerlakes in N.Y. Your dressing you are making is all most the way I make mine. I use Sausage to, but we love cornbread. So it is Sausage Cornbread Stuffing! Yum! I use a ice cream scoop and bake our dressing in a cupcake pan that way everyone gets there own dressing cupcake!
So, I've been laid up all week with pneumonia (how I got it, I don't know, but don't ever get pneumonia if you can avoid it, it sucks out loud), and I stumbled across your channel as I was looking for things to entertain myself. Love it! I've been binge watching your channel a lot while I've been trying not to go to the hospital, and its been like having a friend hang out with me and keep my mind off being miserably ill. I'm not a homesteader, but I really admire the practice and find it very interesting. Thank you!
I'm with you about tradition. I always want my Grandmother's cornbread dressing recipe (which is on the back of the Martha White Buttermilk cornbread packet). From my mother in law I love her traditional Cranberry Orange Pecan Bread (from the back of the Oceanspray cranberry bag). I'm going to try your cranberry upside down cake. It looks delicious 🙂
When I worked at Kmart I’d make crockpot dressing,cheese plate,veggie tray, pumpkin pie bars. Everyone else made sides or desserts too. We’d order chicken from Krogers and we had a nice luncheon for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Omg Becky I have never clicked so fast I am starting to make My list for thanksgiving making sure I got everything I am curled up on the couch and watching my favorite RUclips thank you for the inspiration on my own channel Becky 😊
Good morning from South Africa 🙂 I am enjoying watching you cook and bake. What especially got me excited and intrigued is when you went outside. Please show us more footage of the rainy weather and the mist. It's so mesmerizing 🙂
I followed your recipe and made my stuffing just like you make yours. Total game changer. People who didn’t like stuffing normally, I made them try one bite (I might have said it in front of all the kids so they had to try it) and they absolutely loved it. From now on I’m going to have to double the recipe. Thanks Becky ❤
Hi Becky. I only found your videos last week, and I have been so busy looking at old ones looking at current ones. I really enjoy you. I’m in Newfoundland Canada on the most easterly point of North America. I look forward to watching you. I have been cooking snd baking for my family for almost 50 years and I’m still learning lots. Thank you. 🌟🦋
I made the cranberry salsa last year and it was a hit! I barely had any because it was devoured so fast! It’s on my list for this year again. Thanks for all you do!
I watch all of your videos as soon as I see there is a new one. Love your whole attitude, about life, and cooking and gardening. Keep up the good work. .
You’re my idol and I aspire to live life and value what you do daily. Thank you for simplifying that life isn’t perfect but living a fulfilling and purposeful life is what some of us need! I get so excited for every video you make! All the healthy vibes sent your way for baby and happy holidays! ❤
We always stuff the turkey. Very simple recipe, from my Italian grandmother, just stale cubed bread, onions, sage, salt and pepper. Super simple, but just like you said, it’s such a tradition for us. It absorbs all the juices form the turkey, and is just wonderful. I cannot wait to try your cranberry upside down cake!!! Love, love your videos! Thank you!!
You are so authentic and fun to watch. I don’t know if anyone has ever😊mentioned that you have beautiful nails and hand. You could be a hand model.Don’t know how you keep them so nice, with all the cooking and baking you do. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.😊
I grew up with my grandfather stuffing the turkey and made extra in another dish. He also made it with sausage and I remember him drying out the bread a day or two before, I think stuffing the bird probably ended in the beginning of the 90s. My mom made it a few times, then my sister has taken that on for many years now. Thank You for the idea of using crockpots to reheat foods the day of!! We used to use my grandparent's roaster to keep foods hot, but it sparked and broke years ago when I plugged it in. I still have it and have intended to see if a small appliance repair shop can fix it; since it's in the garage I always forget about it. I'm definitely going to make a few of the items you made.
I made my Thanksgiving cheesecake already, and froze it. My crust was made using Nilla Wafer cookies. Try it sometime. It’s really wonderful. Love you videos. You make your audience feel included and welcomed. 💕💕
Just a note: if you set one side of sink in hot soapy water put dishes in then put them in dishwasher. You will never have to worry about cleaning your dishwasher or its' filter. I've had my dishwasher for over 10+ years my dishwasher stays clean.
When I make stuffing, I add bouillon powder or cubes to which I add some spices (cloves, pepper, ginger, sage etc, holiday spices), then use this to hydrate the bread/veggies mix and it gets soooo yummy (I don’t at all miss meat or meat broth)! I cook it in bread pans and use it alongside e.g, homemade tofurky or vegan Christmas meatballs since I’m plant based…😋
I was watching Mary’s Nest on Utube and she showed you how to make cream cheese out of yogurt , which may work out bit cheaper perhaps? So enjoyed todays video . Cake looks amazing, you make me feel so at peace watching you in your kitchen. I have told my other lady friends about your channel and now we all message each other after watching you and we have “Becky cooking , preserving and baking days” . Thank you so much ,I hope your celebration was amazing xxxxxxx
Watching you bake your cakes brings back such wonderful memories of watching my grandmother cook. She had an under bench cupboard that was a pivot, pull down flour bin (also one for sugar). She kept all of her butter wraps to grease the pans. You do an amazing job! Well done.
The biggest takeaway on this for me is the mashed potatoes in the crock pot! I have a lull time while turkey is in the oven and everything else is ready to go, but mashed potatoes are a last-minute thing, not anymore!!!!! Thanks Becky! We are celebrating our family Thanksgiving the Sunday before so that my kids and their families can do their own on Thanksgiving Day. We live about 200 miles north of you and this is the storm that littered my property with fir branches, (some of which would have been deadly had I been outside) and knocked out power for us and thousands of others - ours for 48 hours.
Hi Becky! I love when you smell the herbs, it's as though you're about to hold the jar out, and say "SMELL THIS!!!" I was thinking you could get some Nilla wafers, and make little pumpkin cheesecake muffins from the excess cheesecake batter. I always get hungry watching you cook...! 😋
Great video :) I’ve never put the stuffing into the bird before but I also have never heard of stuffing with sausage in it. I’ve only ever had it with the bread cubes, onion, celery, butter, chicken broth and seasonings.
This is awesome Becky. I’m flying to the US to visit my sister in 2 days and we will be celebrating our first thanksgiving. Being aussies we have no idea, so now I can volunteer to do the desserts. 🎉🎉
No one ever showed me how to cook.. and I kinda learn by watching so you are a life saver! I’ll definitely be able to cook my family’s thanksgiving bc of you! My grandma used to do it but she’s not able to anymore. My mom was never really a cook. My sister cooks but gets overwhelmed very quickly and has a nervous break down 😂 I’m happy I’ll be able to help this year 🥰 Thanks for all you do and for sharing with noobs like me! ♥️🦃
Hey Becky! Bing watching your videos. You can put your cheesecake in a warm water bath when cooking. No cracks! Line the bottom up the sides of springform with foil first so no water gets in
Starting Saturday, I am making 6 large pans of Chicken and cornbread dressing, 3 Regular , 2 Spicy, and 1 keto dressing. I have my cornbread made for the first two, for our steward Banquet at Church one day this week , I will make the cornbread for two more, for my husband family Thanksgiving, then for my family Christmas, I make the 1 Regular, 1 Keto, 1 small spicy. Plus all the rest of the side dishes, It's a Southern meal for sure. I live in Arkansas. I can't wait to get started.
Becky I enjoy all your videos! I learn so much from you. I would like to share a tip for cheesecakes. A hot water bath while baking coupled with cracking the oven door will give you a perfect cheesecake every time.
I love the view in the window behind Becky which is overcast and storm ridden while she is in this light flooded kitchen making warm and fuzzy Thanksgiving food. What Thanksgiving is all about.
Totally agree! The warmth and comfort of family cooking and baking is wonderful! Happy Thanksgiving!
Absolutely! I asked my parents if I could spend the night with them the day before so I could wake up to the smell of turkey in the morning. So many memories that gives me!
@@nicolek222 that’s seriously so cute! What a fun idea!
I couldn't agree more!
@Nicole.....Yes, cherish the time you have with your parents. My parents are gone now and the holidays have not been the same since. I have my own family but I always feel sad Mom and Dad aren't here.
You can put your cleaned egg shells in your garden soil. Along with your used coffee grounds.
For extra cheesecake filling I use cupcake liners, put a little crust in each bake a few minutes then add the filling to the liners and bake. It's the perfect dessert for lunches.
A vanilla wafer
They actually freeze well too.
Great ideas here
@@pjk1714 do you freeze before or after baking?
I was thinking the same thing. Or adding it to muffin mix and having pumpkin cheesecake muffins.
I’m 70 years old but I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Also, thanks for the gift idea (battery warmed coffee cup)for coffee or tea drinkers.
The atmosphere you create and the teaching you provide makes every video feel like home. You have a gift ❤
So agree with this!!!!!
I have to agree!💗
Couldn’t have said it better! ❤
Agree 1000%
Will you please post your bread recipe. It goes to the cranberry salsa?
Who else needs all the storage Becky has in her kitchen? ❤
When they moved in they talked about re-doing the kitchen but I think it is working out really well as it is !
I love how both her old and new kitchens both have a big beautiful island!! Lucky! 😊
I would love her house.
Love the whole layout including the office area! Where do I sign up?😊
She has the PERFECT kitchen, so open, a place for everything, and everything has a place. And I have never seen a drawer so handy in the island for her staples. I don't know where she get her energy.

I'm not a fan of ginger snaps, they give me horrible heartburn :(

If you don't have oranges for zest you can always toss in a spoon of orange marmalade if you have that. It works well and a small amount won't mess with how sweet the cake is.

Or, stuffed pork chops too! Stuffed flounder w/ some little shrimp.

Get a oven thermometer to check. Usually you can calibrate your oven to make sure it’s correct temp. Have josh google it or you can. 😊
I have always said that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It's a day just to spend with family and enjoy each other and no pressure to buy gifts. I carry the traditions in the family since my parents and grandparents are passed, but my daughter has started taking over for Thanksgiving. :)

I was wondering what the stuffing was for 🤔🙈
@Bonita Demas some people don't stuff the bird with the stuffing but instead use lemons and fresh herbs. We love it stuffed! And will take leftovers that don't fit and bake them in the oven separate for anyone who doesn't like it from the bird. It's dryer that way.

You're so FUN to watch and your recipes are amazing!
Becky, we eat that salsa with just tortilla chips, put it on our turkey for the cranberry, and add leftovers to turkey sandwiches. Soooo good!! Your stuffing omg!!!
Yep, we do the same
You can put the pumpkin filling into muffin papers in the muffin tins and make mini cheesecakes. Then when cooked top with Graham cracker crumbs and freeze. They you have a treat whenever you want of mini pumpkin cheesecakes. You'll be happy when the baby comes and you have a treat to pull out when you need a pick me up.
Becky always me smile & laugh when her mixing bowls are way too small for the large amount of ingredients she needs to mix together! I always get a good chuckle!😊
I think she needs to upgrade to a larger mixer.
Becky, if you put a bowl of water in the oven along with your cheese cake you won't have cracking. Love watching you, you're home is so nice..you're energy is out of sight!..You're Super Woman!!!
I do a cornbread dressing outside of the turkey. Its tradition in our family, we're from Alabama/Florida area.
That stuffing is so close to my mom’s. The difference is she would grind up the turkey liver, heart, and giblets and add them with the sausage. There was a lot of meat in that dressing. She would stuff the turkey with part of it and bake the rest.
Ok… now I need your sisters recipe too! Pumpkin cheese cake pecan pie hybrid sounds AMAZING!
Watching thuds really makes me miss my Momma. She cooked the best Thanksgiving dinner. My Daddy was the best turkey cooker &trimmer. ❤❤
I love seeing the rain and wind through your windows while you cook! I love to cook when it’s like that outside🙂
Because of you I am going to start freeze drying more... Parm Cheese will never be in a green can in my house again (once we use up the one we have of course), cilantro, all the herbs... GARLIC.. once I grow it. too late for me to start in MN right now.. but next year. Minced onions.., GREEN ONIONS.. which ALWAYS start to go in my fridge.. You are a blessing.. and I hope one day to have my own home/gardening youtube.. and be as graceful as you are everyday. My oldest is 18 and in freshman year in college, and youngest is 16 and almost driving, so I'm a bit ahead of your family schedule. But like you, we waited 7 years (after marriage) to have babies. Anyway, I love your attitude, your grace and joy. And I wish you the best on the whole baby situation. You are right. DO YOU. don't worry about living up to expectations on anything. Babies are HARD, all in very different ways. My first was SO different from my second and still is. GO with the flow! and give yourself the grace to overcome! So happy that you are willing to share your homestead with us!
Becky, it was so nice for you to bring us along for your Thanksgiving dinner with Josh's family. Thanksgiving was my favorite holiday until both my parents passed. My son and my husband's son have their own family celebrations. You make all the memories flood back and it is very heartwarming. Thank you!
Tomorrow I’m canning applesauce and raspberry jam! I’ve recently found Pomona’s and you need zero sugar to make jam or jelly! I have about 3 gallons of raspberries frozen and we’ll never use them. I’m a T1D, zero sugar is a bonus. My grandson loves raspberries and this will be great jam. Spend the extra and buy the Pamona’s “sure-jell” instead of the low sugar Sure-Jell since you enjoy more fruit flavor instead of all that sugar. 🌺
How many of us shook our heads yes when Becky asked “should I add the egg? Lol
I kept laughing when I saw your pup sneaking peeks into the oven behind you. I'm glad your cheesecake wasn't compromised 🤣
It amazes me when I think about my Mom cooking everything from scratch the morning of holidays. I always give myself 2 days with desserts being last on the list to make.I love trying new pumpkin and cranberry recipes each year, but not my family's favorite. Like many families they like the same old casserole. Enjoy Thanksgiving with Josh's family.
Because ovens are all different. I get a very inexpensive oven thermometer to see the true temp. I now know my oven runs 50 degrees colder then what I set it too. I then add 50 degrees to all my baking temps.
We have always traditionally stuffed the turkey for Thanksgiving. The stuffing was basically a loaf of white bread ripped up, eggs, celery, salt, pepper, diced onions and chicken broth. Mix with your hands in a bowl until everything is incorporated and stuff the turkey with it. Any stuffing that doesn't fit in the bird is formed into patties and fried in butter. Then we top it with sour cream (sort of like a potato pancake, but with bread). Super yummy! :)
I loved hearing about your Grandmother's recipe. My Grandmother's is the same, except we use Oysters instead of sausage. I'm the turkey cooker in my family now and I've stopped stuffing the bird. It just made it too dry because you have to cook it so much longer. My Mother in law taught me to hear up the broth before mixing. The bread absorbs it better that way.
Here in New Zealand we call green onions, spring onions, I find it interesting that there are different names for the same things.😊
Scallions is another name...
This video as always was ever so fun and I'm so excited to try some of your recipes. I know of a lady that does Thanksgiving for over 50 people and she cooks her bird ahead of time takes it off the bones and puts it in a large roaster and pores turkey broth over it. And like you she does her potatoes ahead of time and so the day of the dinner she really doesn't have to do much of anything. My grandma when she would host a dinner and there was a sit-down she would set the table ahead of time I know people that will set the table ahead of time and then lay a large sheet over it if you have pets. But you are not only sharing amazing beautiful tasteful recipes Becky but you're encouraging us to think ahead and not stress the day of. I have to share a story years ago when I was just Married only a few years I had put a whole chicken in the oven and I was so excited in our new to us home and was so excited to make this wonderful chicken dinner. And as time went on I thought well this is odd the chicken wasn't smelling anymore and it wasn't getting done and then I have found out that my oven had broke. Another time when I was making rice pudding and you put the rice pudding inside of a pan of water and I was hosting Christmas that year I went to lift it out of the oven and the bottom pan of water broke. I had rice pudding with an egg custard exploded all inside my oven all over everywhere. I just remember the tears flowed I had three little ones at the time I was hosting over 25 people for dinner plus children. Got it all cleaned up we were fine. That year I hosted Christmas Eve at my home plus Christmas Day at my home to completely different meals. The one on Christmas Eve was Swedish Norwegian with all the Swedish meatballs and lutefisk and sweet or sausage and all the fixing even fruit soup. Becky you're amazing and blessed is Josh and your precious little bundle that is growing soon will be here. I hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving one Josh's family and just know I don't always comment cuz I watch it on my TV but I haven't missed one of your videos yet. Have a blessed day and much love from Minnesota
I really love your videos. My mom makes her dressing the same way, but adds apple and walnuts, which add great flavor and texture as well. I have been binge-watching your videos and am getting so much inspiration.
Becky I so enjoyed. My mom use to stuff the turky when i was a small child she stoped stuffing the bird when dad died (my dad died in the month of November in 1977) it changed the way my family did the holidays after that.when i married i made stuffing on the stove, now that my mom is gone holidays are no longer the same for me. I miss family dinners. Hope you and your inlaws have a wonderful dinner and time together.🙇♀️💕🥧
I made a pumpkin cheesecake once using the Pioneer Woman's recipe. The crust was made with ginger snaps! Oh my goodness!
The best!
Becky, when I saw u use the natural fiber scrubber, it made me think, would you grow loofah? Then you'd have your own supply. Plus they're edible when green.
Looks so good! Hope you enjoyed your family time.
You're looking great mama. Your energy amazes me 🙂
I dry bread in oven.sage sausage, onion, garlic, celery, bitty carrot pieces, mushrooms and chestnut pieces, have a tree, so must use them. Fresh herbs. Have to use the gardens bounty. I get the 24,25# turkey. Like the big legs and wings. Giblet gravy.
We always stuff the bird but we make extra stuffing that we bake. I do traditional stuffing with sausage but I also put fresh cooked mushrooms in with it. Love your channel Becky.
Hi Becky
So excited for your upcoming holiday in your new home. I too recently moved. Love your videos. Just one thing; stuffing is cooked inside to bird and dressing is cooked outside the bird. You stuff the bird with stuffing and dress the bird with dressing. Have an awesome thanksgiving.
Thank you! I needed this! It’s my first year cooking and hosting my own feast. Starting a new tradition on our farm for our little family of 3❤
Have fun and dont kill yourself trying to do too much!
I’m in Maine, stuffing has always been stuffing but never in the bird! I actually first heard the term “dressing” last year around Thanksgiving and had no clue what it was (outside of salad dressing) until just now! Going to share the upside down cranberry cake with my mom for this holiday season! I’m so obsessed with all of your videos! You have inspired me to start doing freezer meals! On the weekends I have your videos playing all day! Who needs Netflix?!?! I’d rather watch Becky ❤
I make cornbread dressing with dried , stale cornbread, celery, onions , sage , poultry seasoning home canned chicken broth. Yummy , been making it for 45 plus years . I am always ask to bring it to our gathering.
Me too!
That’s the same way I’ve been making it for 50 yrs just like my Mother and Grandmother it’s the way it’s usually always made here in my southern mountain town in East Tennessee 😋
@@Luwanasue Howdy neighbor from mountains of Western N C. Haywood County.
@@sharonedwards7821 Hey Neighbor your right I’m only 2 hours away from you 25 miles north of Knoxville
@@Luwanasue Hi! I'm originally from Memphis transplanted to SC. That's the way we make in the South. Lol
You are adorable. I love watching you. You are soooo inspirational! God bless you ♥️
Hi Becky Sherry here from the Fingerlakes in N.Y. Your dressing you are making is all most the way I make mine. I use Sausage to, but we love cornbread. So it is Sausage Cornbread Stuffing! Yum! I use a ice cream scoop and bake our dressing in a cupcake pan that way everyone gets there own dressing cupcake!
So, I've been laid up all week with pneumonia (how I got it, I don't know, but don't ever get pneumonia if you can avoid it, it sucks out loud), and I stumbled across your channel as I was looking for things to entertain myself. Love it! I've been binge watching your channel a lot while I've been trying not to go to the hospital, and its been like having a friend hang out with me and keep my mind off being miserably ill. I'm not a homesteader, but I really admire the practice and find it very interesting. Thank you!
Happy dance 💃🏼 for a Becky video!! It’s a cool gloomy rainy day in East Texas. Great for settling in and spending time with my friend, Becky!!
Ooo I spy one of your new doors!! Coming along!!
I'm with you about tradition. I always want my Grandmother's cornbread dressing recipe (which is on the back of the Martha White Buttermilk cornbread packet). From my mother in law I love her traditional Cranberry Orange Pecan Bread (from the back of the Oceanspray cranberry bag). I'm going to try your cranberry upside down cake. It looks delicious 🙂
My husband’s family from central PA, calls stuffing “filling”. In restaurants, the menu states filling. I was amazed. 💙
All my PA “Dutch” (Deutsch or German) have always called it fiiling. Turkey giblets are usually involved!
When I worked at Kmart I’d make crockpot dressing,cheese plate,veggie tray, pumpkin pie bars. Everyone else made sides or desserts too. We’d order chicken from Krogers and we had a nice luncheon for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Omg Becky I have never clicked so fast I am starting to make
My list for thanksgiving making sure I got everything I am curled up on the couch and watching my favorite RUclips thank you for the inspiration on my own channel Becky 😊
Good morning from South Africa 🙂
I am enjoying watching you cook and bake. What especially got me excited and intrigued is when you went outside. Please show us more footage of the rainy weather and the mist. It's so mesmerizing 🙂
I absolutely adore every video - I hope you see this Becky and know that you are making our days brighter with your presence ✨
I followed your recipe and made my stuffing just like you make yours. Total game changer. People who didn’t like stuffing normally, I made them try one bite (I might have said it in front of all the kids so they had to try it) and they absolutely loved it. From now on I’m going to have to double the recipe. Thanks Becky ❤
Yes, most definitely get that pecan recipe from your sister, and share here too!!! Love, love, love pecan pie! ♥️
Hi Becky. I only found your videos last week, and I have been so busy looking at old ones looking at current ones. I really enjoy you. I’m in Newfoundland Canada on the most easterly point of North America.
I look forward to watching you. I have been cooking snd baking for my family for almost 50 years and I’m still learning lots. Thank you. 🌟🦋
I made the cranberry salsa last year and it was a hit! I barely had any because it was devoured so fast! It’s on my list for this year again. Thanks for all you do!
Same! We made two batches and it wasn’t enough! ❤️
I want to make it for Christmas this year!
@@blackrock5749 You really should! It was hit again at Thanksgiving. I will most likely make it again during Christmas at some point.
I watch all of your videos as soon as I see there is a new one. Love your whole attitude, about life, and cooking and gardening. Keep up the good work. .
You’re my idol and I aspire to live life and value what you do daily. Thank you for simplifying that life isn’t perfect but living a fulfilling and purposeful life is what some of us need! I get so excited for every video you make! All the healthy vibes sent your way for baby and happy holidays! ❤
The best time of year 🥰 I love being in the kitchen with you but during the holidays is my favorite!!!! Bye friend♥️♥️
We always stuff the turkey. Very simple recipe, from my Italian grandmother, just stale cubed bread, onions, sage, salt and pepper. Super simple, but just like you said, it’s such a tradition for us. It absorbs all the juices form the turkey, and is just wonderful. I cannot wait to try your cranberry upside down cake!!! Love, love your videos! Thank you!!
You are so authentic and fun to watch. I don’t know if anyone has ever😊mentioned that you have beautiful nails and hand. You could be a hand model.Don’t know how you keep them so nice, with all the cooking and baking you do. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.😊
My favorite after-Thanksgiving treat is a turkey, cranberry sauce and cornbread dressing sandwich. Yum!
I grew up with my grandfather stuffing the turkey and made extra in another dish. He also made it with sausage and I remember him drying out the bread a day or two before, I think stuffing the bird probably ended in the beginning of the 90s. My mom made it a few times, then my sister has taken that on for many years now. Thank You for the idea of using crockpots to reheat foods the day of!! We used to use my grandparent's roaster to keep foods hot, but it sparked and broke years ago when I plugged it in. I still have it and have intended to see if a small appliance repair shop can fix it; since it's in the garage I always forget about it. I'm definitely going to make a few of the items you made.
I made my Thanksgiving cheesecake already, and froze it. My crust was made using Nilla Wafer cookies. Try it sometime. It’s really wonderful. Love you videos. You make your audience feel included and welcomed. 💕💕
Just a note: if you set one side of sink in hot soapy water put dishes in then put them in dishwasher. You will never have to worry about cleaning your dishwasher or its' filter. I've had my dishwasher for over 10+ years my dishwasher stays clean.
When I make stuffing, I add bouillon powder or cubes to which I add some spices (cloves, pepper, ginger, sage etc, holiday spices), then use this to hydrate the bread/veggies mix and it gets soooo yummy (I don’t at all miss meat or meat broth)! I cook it in bread pans and use it alongside e.g, homemade tofurky or vegan Christmas meatballs since I’m plant based…😋
I was watching Mary’s Nest on Utube and she showed you how to make cream cheese out of yogurt , which may work out bit cheaper perhaps? So enjoyed todays video . Cake looks amazing, you make me feel so at peace watching you in your kitchen. I have told my other lady friends about your channel and now we all message each other after watching you and we have “Becky cooking , preserving and baking days” . Thank you so much ,I hope your celebration was amazing xxxxxxx
Watching you bake your cakes brings back such wonderful memories of watching my grandmother cook. She had an under bench cupboard that was a pivot, pull down flour bin (also one for sugar). She kept all of her butter wraps to grease the pans. You do an amazing job! Well done.
The biggest takeaway on this for me is the mashed potatoes in the crock pot! I have a lull time while turkey is in the oven and everything else is ready to go, but mashed potatoes are a last-minute thing, not anymore!!!!! Thanks Becky! We are celebrating our family Thanksgiving the Sunday before so that my kids and their families can do their own on Thanksgiving Day. We live about 200 miles north of you and this is the storm that littered my property with fir branches, (some of which would have been deadly had I been outside) and knocked out power for us and thousands of others - ours for 48 hours.
Hi Becky! I love when you smell the herbs, it's as though you're about to hold the jar out, and say "SMELL THIS!!!" I was thinking you could get some Nilla wafers, and make little pumpkin cheesecake muffins from the excess cheesecake batter. I always get hungry watching you cook...! 😋
Great video :) I’ve never put the stuffing into the bird before but I also have never heard of stuffing with sausage in it. I’ve only ever had it with the bread cubes, onion, celery, butter, chicken broth and seasonings.
I use gingersnaps for my pumpkin cheesecake crust. What a game changer! Super yum!
Love the beautiful rainy day ! My favorite weather. Enjoy all your videos - always
educational.
This is awesome Becky. I’m flying to the US to visit my sister in 2 days and we will be celebrating our first thanksgiving. Being aussies we have no idea, so now I can volunteer to do the desserts. 🎉🎉
Welcome to America and Happy Thanksgiving. Watching from Oklahoma, Barb
Love the window behind you and the blustery weather while you are safe and warm cooking yummy foods!
No one ever showed me how to cook.. and I kinda learn by watching so you are a life saver! I’ll definitely be able to cook my family’s thanksgiving bc of you!
My grandma used to do it but she’s not able to anymore. My mom was never really a cook. My sister cooks but gets overwhelmed very quickly and has a nervous break down 😂 I’m happy I’ll be able to help this year 🥰
Thanks for all you do and for sharing with noobs like me! ♥️🦃
Hey Becky! Bing watching your videos. You can put your cheesecake in a warm water bath when cooking. No cracks! Line the bottom up the sides of springform with foil first so no water gets in
I love seeing my mom's platter being used. ❤
The platter is beautiful. 🙂
Carol, that was so sweet of you to send Becky a family treasure.
I'm so glad she Treasures it and it's being used by such a lovely family.
♥
That was so nice of you to send her that platter. It is beautiful
Starting Saturday, I am making 6 large pans of Chicken and cornbread dressing, 3 Regular , 2 Spicy, and 1 keto dressing. I have my cornbread made for the first two, for our steward Banquet at Church one day this week , I will make the cornbread for two more, for my husband family Thanksgiving, then for my family Christmas, I make the 1 Regular, 1 Keto, 1 small spicy. Plus all the rest of the side dishes, It's a Southern meal for sure. I live in Arkansas. I can't wait to get started.
I never put egg in my dressing. Everything looks delicious!
I also never put egg in the dressing. Neither did my mom.
Becky I enjoy all your videos! I learn so much from you. I would like to share a tip for cheesecakes. A hot water bath while baking coupled with cracking the oven door will give you a perfect cheesecake every time.
