    When I saw you cutting that basil, I thought it would be a great idea to use your grow room to start herbs in the late summer, so you could have fresh herbs all winter. You could plant them out in the garden once spring comes again if you didn't want to have to keep up with them. A greenstalk herb garden in that sunny, frost free room would be amazing!

    Hi Becky. I am a 50 year old woman from Tennessee who hates to cook, clean or garden, but enjoys watching others do it. And, you do it very well, and in a casually educating way that makes it seem enjoyable.
    Brief story I thought you might enjoy hearing. It is truly a small world. I was watching a gaming channel from England, @emmalution, and she was talking about food, and she said that she had learned that nutmeg goes really well in creamy sauces from Acre Homestead! I had to back up the stream to make sure I heard right. I was like hey! She is talking about my friend! Anyway, I am now off to watch this video.
    Keep up the great 'work'.

Do you pull out the muffin the night before, take it straight from the freezer to the microwave? That kind of thing. I’m especially interested in how you use your glass containers from the freezer. Do you thaw first, go straight from freezer to oven. Like I said, maybe I’m the only one that doesn’t know how to do this, but I would love to learn. Thanks!

    Hi Becky! When you cook chipotle peppers, they pretty much dissolve because they’ve already been cooked and canned. So you wouldn’t be able to pick them out after it cooks.

    If you use parchment muffins liners you never need to spray the liner cups, saving that overflow of spray on the muffin pan. They also leave absolutely nothing in your pan. Life changing.

    Hey sweet friend, thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with us. My husband thinks ketsup is spicy, so we have to adjust our spices. I love watching your vlogs. I have metastatic cancer and watching you fills my heart with joy and happiness. You're truly inspirational and the farming pastor's wife freezes, Leslie now freezes her garlic pucks and mentions you. Sending blessings to you and your beautiful family.

    You've inspired me to make freezer meals. We went from cooking for 4-8 people to 2-3. My partner is not much on leftovers. So now I make a meal for now and put 1 or 2 in the freezer. It's been a game changer. We don't eat out when I'm too tired to cook. We pull a freezer meal. It's helped for my MIL as well. I make her several 'tv dinners' to pop in the air fryer or microwave. She loves them. 😊
    Btw.. it's always shepherds pie no matter what meat we use. Otherwise we call it pot pie. Lol

    Our secret ingredient for mashed potatoes is evaporated milk.(salt,pepper,butter) simple and perfect. I think it’s good to add the room temperature evaporated milk also because it’s not making the potatoes colder like dairy that is coming fresh out of the fridge, When it’s just going from the potato masher to the table, you don’t want it to get any colder, especially on Thanksgiving. Plus something about evaporated milk is very rich and delicious.

    Watching this Meal Marathon? I suddenly recalled i met you, for this very reason! I started watching you for these big Meal Preps!! ❤
    I think i was only semi-thrilled, during the first one?
    But, i sure do love watching you Create, ever since! 😊
    Thank you for the hit of Positive!!
    Like many others commenting? I am 64. My variation i different. No grandchild inspiration, nor Dependant to Feed. No.
    I had Stopped cooking, from Depression, Sorrow/Greiving/Handicapped Leg Busting more AND Self Denial for Control in my life. See? Heaps in my Story! I also went and got Plunked back in my Parents' house and both of them are gone. My oldest daughter is Passed and my Ex. My youngest refuses to Eat anything i cook, but for my turkey or chicken breasts. She has Sensory Issues, so she claims.
    My grandsons are both Taken.
    No one left but me!
    I tend to be on Intermittent Fasting, Daily, for the last 15 years...
    With your enthusiasm and positive outlook AND making it Flow so Easy? You Helped me TO look forward TO trying! ❤
    Other Channels incuding some of your friends, i went back TO canning and freezing! I still cook very little, about once a week? But now i have my own canned soup, cabage rolls in jars (my own creation), stews, Cream Soup Bases and Fruit, Sauces and Jams again! So between my few cookings? I pop open a jar and am able to eat healthily, with little leg time!!
    When i go Shopping? Only half an hour in Store, harms my leg for 2 or 3 days. So it is very precious TO have nutrition in a jar, or only cook noodles and put my sauce, etc!
    Thank you, Becky! (And thanks to your Mom, also!) Your Emotional and Enabling Help is Infectious! ❤

    I make a left over Thanksgiving shepard's pie. Line pan with stuffing. Pre bake for the crust to form. Then fill inside with chopped turkey, leftover veggies, (or which ever tastes best together with theses) some add cranberry, but I don't, and gravy. Top with leftover mashed potatoes. Bake I'd say about 375 or 400 until potatoes are firm and golden. If insides are not warm, cover for a little bit longer bake. 😊❤
