Couple of things. 1. Crème brûlée needs to go through a strainer before pouring into the ramekins. It gets rid of the foam from whisking and any possible scrambled bits of egg. 2. The easiest way to do the bath water is to fill up the pan with water first, put it in the oven and then turn the oven on. The water will be the right temp by the time you’re done with the custard and the oven is done preheating. You can place the ramekins in the hot water with the jar lifter with the pan already in the oven. That way it minimizes any possible accident of spilling the entire dessert and/or hot water.
Hi Becky, I noticed you threw out the vanilla. All you have to do is give them a wash off and pop them into the oven while on on a tray to give them a short dry out and you can put them in sugar, making vanilla sugar out of them or cook them into something, like fruit. Cut the pods up, the continue to give off favour and the whole pod, even if the centre is scraped out is eatable so please don't just throw them out!
I know changing camera angles is a pain but I would have loved to see the chickens when you gave them the pumpkin scraps. I miss seeing your girls! I’m looking forward to the new chicken run that you told us about! It’ll give us a chance to see their antics again! 😂
People are really missing your girls they won't have long to wait if your plans work out for next year for the new chicken run. I love watching the dogs which are beautiful by the way I remember when I first found you you had a black dog but seemed to be getting old I can imagine he's not with us anymore but still in our hearts ❤️ as they all are and always will be.
When making a hot punch or mulled wine, a good idea is to serve it from a slow cooker. It will keep it warm without burning it, and doesn't need watching, also makes the room smell lovely 😊
Hi, Becky! This time of year I watch way too many RUclips videos due to seasonal insomnia, and I just wanted to tell you that the way you start each video with “Hello Friend” always takes me by surprise with the authentic warm feeling it gives my heart. Thank you for being you!
This is a lively comment. Well said. That " Hello Friends" at the beginning always sets the mood for a great video. 😊 ETA: You have my sympathy on the seasonal insomnia. I sleep hit or miss all year, so I feel your pain. Thank goodness for naps. Lol Right?
Quick tip Becky, measure your table and the extension table with a tape measure then add 10-12 inches for overhang and when you go shopping look at the table cloth measurements. Once you do that, put it in the note section on your phone and you will always have it with you. I also put my lists on the note section on my phone as well.
My DH and I use a shared note and use the to do radio buttons for our shopping list. We can both add items and whoever is going to the store can use it.
I have started ordering my table clothes, runners, and placemats. The selection is ridiculous and the price beats the brick/mortar stores by far! Also, some of the Amazon stores I've ordered from you can customize by size and even have them monogrammed. Just a thought! Your table looked beautiful!! Loved the Mason jar arrangements, too!!
If I went to Panda Express more often, I love the take-home bowls they use! nice tight tops. I could probably buy some, but getting it for free is always fun.
You are my husband's hero. I started watching because you are straight forward in the kitchen. You don't try to get fancy, it's food people actually can cook and eat. I love the make ahead, like most people there are days I just can't cook. He started watching with me and fell in love with your demeanor on film and how hard you work and the food. We try to keep up with what is going on in the world, thank you for being a positive force in the world.
I keep a square cut piece of shelf lining in my silverware drawer for putting under my cutting board. It works great for keeping the cutting board in place. So dangerous (and annoying) having the cutting board move while cutting onions, etc.!
Thank you for keeping your videos informative, simple and interesting. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that you don't add any music to your videos, too. If you're ever wanting more charcuterie boards, Home Goods sells beautiful boards in many sizes and they're soooo affordable. It was encouraging and inspiring to see that you were able to harvest and use your eucalyptus and flowers from your own garden for your party so late in the season; they turned out really pretty. Glad you're party was fun!
Years ago I had pumpkin pizza at a Pub in Portsmouth NH. It was amazing. It was a whole wheat crust with sesame seeds around the edges. The pumpkin puree was savory, lots of garlic in the puree. Topped with caramelized onions and gruyere cheese. So delicious! Your party foods looked amazing!
I really liked how you kept the meal simple, a main, a side, a bread, before charcuterie board, and one yummy dessert. The main focus of the evening can be on the fellowship. Love it!
That all looks wonderful!! 😋 One comment, as a guest I really appreciate having a knife fork and spoon no matter what the menu. The knife can be used opposite the fork to keep things from sliding around the plate, and to cut anything I want smaller. The spoon is helpful in getting up all the sauce!
You’re doing a wonderful job Becky. As a new mom and a wife… you are a inspirational person ..growing a garden and cooking food. You are amazing. I love how you show us real life. Thank you for inspiring and teaching us.
I watched this video many months later now, but thoroughly enjoyed it and watched the whole thing while I was cleaning the kitchen and doing things around the house. Love all of your videos! You're such a gift!
Measure your table Becky and keep the measurements in your phone in the notes section, then when you need to buy another tablecloth you will know the exact measurements you need.
I don't know if I will ever plant anything but Bolero carrots again. Your reaction was the same as mine when I pulled my first carrot this fall! I used the pelleted seed and it was so easy to sow them, and I didn't need to thin! They were beautiful! So satisfying when you get such a beautiful crop!
Hi guys as I mentioned (a bazillion times before) egg whites freeze perfectly with no additions....but if I had the oven on at 325F to make creme brulait I would whip up the whites to make a pavlova to cook on another rack and have that the day before the party....hehehe hugs to all from Mexico Jim
Becky I tried the pumpkin pasta, and OMG it is delicious! My husband said “you have to save this to make again!” It was a hit! The only thing for us, is I won’t be putting the salt in it, only in the water for the pasta. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with all of us! It was so yummy!
Dearest Becky, you show and put SO MUCH LOVE into your cooking and your presentation. It is a true joy to watch you from start to finish. I’m sure your guests was very impressed with the food and also your dining table.
I just finished watching your video from yesterday! I’m not sure why, but I love watching grocery store hauls - so many things that I simply walk right by. My eyes have been opened to purchase some new things!
I remember having a 50th anniversary party for my parents,I had 50 people in our basement. I felt so happy to do it but glad when it was over with. Thank you for sharing this with us. Good job !
Gotta pause the video and tell you that the way you put your salad together in the bowl to stick in the fridge for the following day BLEW MY MIND. I'm so used to waiting last minute to prep my salads and this is a game changer! Thank you so much!
You did a beautiful spread! I think the most important key to entertaining well is choosing menu items that you can either make ahead, as you did, or things that you can prep out into disposables (I save rotisserie chicken containers for this, lol) and only require day-of grilling or roasting type stuff. It’s great to have one or two really unique or stand out items. I’d say your spiced drink would fit that bill, but your entire menu and decorations are all pretty amazing. It looks very welcoming and warm & cozy. You did great! 😊
When making your arrangements for your table sometimes it’s nice to put the colored glass stones in the jars or white ones or clear ones and it helps holes to hold the arrangement in place
Next time you make creme brulee you can take one of the ramekins out, pour your water in and then place the ramekin back in the roaster. It will give you a lot more space to work with.
The best way is to fill up the pan with water and put it on your oven when you turn it on. Then once to temperature, open the oven and place your ramekins into the water.
My daughter and I took a French cooking class one time one time and we did a whole dinner. Was 6 couples and we did a crème brûlée. Was surprised at how easy. He said easy to do ahead and then pull and finish off just before serving. Chef said restaurants do it that way, they do not make them to order. Made so much more sense to me
My loved ones and friends really don’t care about what the house looks like! As long as there is love and good food, all is good. Fifty five years of good hosting! 🙏❤️ Happy Thanksgiving Becky, Josh and Baby! Enjoy.
Helpful tip for tablecloths, measure your table and add one foot on each side, or two feet to the total length and two feet to the total width. That will get you the perfect sized tablecloth. I suggest measuring with the leaf in since you usually put the leaf in when you use the tablecloths 💜
Oh, I LOVE your little bouquets!! So simple and elegant.🥰 Just a thought: couldn't you just leave your storm door open and set the rugs down whenever you have company over?
Hello Becky love your channel. Just a tip that you might already know. Place a damp towel under that cutting board so it does not move. It is also a good way to avoid a accident with your knife. Thanks for being you.❤
I enjoy watching your videos, I Loved the bread you made in the shape of a pumpkin. I do the same with my cinnamon rolls. I was thinking since you already had your pumpkin stems you could use them as well. Just an idea.❤
Trust the banana pumpkin! It looks like yours was pretty under-ripe. Mine were super dark orange and had AMAZING flavor. Definitely put it on your “try again” list 😊
Becky, you gave me another memory and smile in this video, Thank You. My husband and I married in '91 your plastic wrap gave the memory. We did our own wedding. We purchased that same plastic wrap. What makes me smile and laugh is. I am still using that same box over 32 years later. I guess I bought enough for the wedding. And the Marriage.
Add a star anise to your mulled juice, it really brings up the flavor. You can also make mulled cider or wine in a crock pot, just be sure to use it on low and to never let the wine boil, or you'll boil off the alcohol.
Hi Becky, if you’re looking for tablecloths you can customize your own by going to a fabric shop and choosing something you love and have it cut to your tables specific measurements. I have done this over here in Australia and my beautiful Mum has hemmed it for me ❤
Just finished watching your latest video, what fun it was seeing all your joy in your hard work for preparing a lovely event for friends. I loved you sniffing the carrots and cocktail mixture, your expression are priceless❤ . They bring me smiles. Thank you for sharing.
I wish I was one of Becky’s friends, and invited over for a dinner party. Everything she makes she makes with love it seems and those are the best meals ever.
I add plain and flavored cranberry juice to my iced tea frequently. I add it to both black tea and green tea. This spiced cranberry juice sounds like a nice holiday version for my tea.
Loved the video. Make an egg white scramblewith goat cheese and herbs. Put on an English muffin with either sausage or bacon. Wrap and freeze. Great way to use up egg whites.
33:19 i just bought a fat separator just to use it as a measuring cup with an amazing spout that doesn’t spill all over the place. Thank you for introducing this to me! I am so excited to use it and not get hot water ( or anything) dripping on my counter!
Dear Becky, You did a wonderful job entertaining your friends.and made everything look so easy. The food looked delicious too. You are a wonderful calm girl. I love your shows so much. I watch all of them. Love ya pat
This looks a great dinner party to have I love the recipes. I think I will try the spiced cranberry juice. I just want to say thank you for all you have taught me over the last couple of month. I have 9 family members coming for Christmas dinner, I have all my meat in the freeze. I’ve prepared all my veg for the soup and for the main course, I have also cooked my mash potatoes and used a cookie scoop to make balls and have flash freezes them. Now all I have to think about is sticks for gravy and dessert. Thank you for inspiring this old dog to get organised x
A good idea for the nuts in your salad is to let your guest sprinkle over their salad in case anyone has a nut allergy like me. I can’t even eat it if someone cut something with the same knife as a nut or I’ll be sick (best case scenario) all night. It’s sooo hard to feel safe when eating anything I don’t make myself. Pumpkin seeds are my go to for crunch!
Everything looks delicious and your flowers for the table are so pretty. I woukd suggest you choose a different green element for your arrangements. Eucalyptus is such a strong scent that it will interfere with the delicious scent of your food. The eucalyptus woukd be lovely in your living room. The same is true of scented candles.
Hey becky love the video ❤. If you really like that table cloth, you can buy 2 of them and attach them together using Fabric tapes. I usually do that for my curtains the Fabric tape i use i just need to stick it and iron it and its done. Loads of love ❤❤❤❤
Another fabulous prep day at Becky's 🎉🥳❤...Delicious food.😋.Im a New Zealander living in Wyoming.. ...One great way to use egg whites are meringues or pavlova ...pavlova is a national dessert for us ..😊
Becky, you should try your hand at growing pumpkin on a stick for your bouquets next year. It's an ornamental eggplant and so cool looking. They also sell them at my local Trader Joe's
Becky! I just saw you put those custard cups from the hot water onto your granite countertop! Makes my feet tingle! By my way of thinking, just like you wait 5 minutes after you take the cover off your canner before you take the jars out, I would wait 5 minutes before taking those custard cups out of the hot water. Then I would also put them on at least a towel if not a cooling rack to cool to room temperature before covering them and putting them in the fridge. Just my honest opinion. Love love love your videos. ❤
Hi Becky, I don't know if you'll see this but I wanted to share something with you. I tend to wear gloves when handling hot pumkins and squash. Some times I use oven mitts and use a second pot holder. And I weight till it's cooled if I have time. I like that you waited for it to cool. May you have a blessed day.
I’ve never heard of Friendsgiving. What an awesome thing to do!! Gonna have to start something like that with my friends. ❤ Put the brown rug in front between your chairs
You can make double use of your vanilla bean pods, no need to throw them away. Rinse them off thoroughly to get rid of the cream, then dehydrate them and grind them and use them to add awesome vanilla flavour to dishes that normally use vanilla bean paste.

I couldn't find the link to the vanilla beans... could you share please? And thank you!
I can’t find the link to the vanilla beans
Becky ! Where did the bun come from ! You look adorable ! ❤
I couldn’t find it either.
You missed the 2nd bean when you were tempering the eggs.

Great tips!
Bath water 😂 lol
Definitely right
Also. Dripping water on hot oven glass door is a sure way to break the glass. 😢😮
Hi Becky, I noticed you threw out the vanilla. All you have to do is give them a wash off and pop them into the oven while on on a tray to give them a short dry out and you can put them in sugar, making vanilla sugar out of them or cook them into something, like fruit. Cut the pods up, the continue to give off favour and the whole pod, even if the centre is scraped out is eatable so please don't just throw them out!

I love watching the dogs which are beautiful by the way I remember when I first found you you had a black dog but seemed to be getting old I can imagine he's not with us anymore but still in our hearts ❤️ as they all are and always will be.
Maybe if you would just take a couple of the ramekins out, then fill with water, and return the couple of ramekins, it would be easier (?)
When making a hot punch or mulled wine, a good idea is to serve it from a slow cooker. It will keep it warm without burning it, and doesn't need watching, also makes the room smell lovely 😊
My sister did that with hot chocolate also!
Ooh, or use an instant pot on the warm setting! Thanks for the tip.
Did I miss the recipe for it?
Back to back days with doses of Becky s awesome aura! Please sign me up!
ALWAYS HELPS ME DESTRESS TO WATCH MS. BECKY!!
Your video always good i enjoy watching you. ❤

I always forget tablecloth size. Especially my daughters. I write it down n keep in my wallet.
Great tip! Thank you, I'll definitely be doing this from now on. Absolutely brilliant!

@@hdavis1291
When I’m asked what my guests can bring, I always tell them to bring a food container to rake home a meal for another day❤️
100% SAME!!! I don't always have fresh, to-go containers on hand and I hate giving away my canning jars! ;)
I save containers from cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. throughout the year so I can send people home with containers they don't need to return to me
If I went to Panda Express more often, I love the take-home bowls they use! nice tight tops. I could probably buy some, but getting it for free is always fun.
Such an awesome idea👍
Good idea!
Another thing I learned from a chef is when measuring liquids, use a glass measuring cup. The metal ones are used for measuring dry ingredients.
You can use the dry cups for liquid. You cannot use the liquid for dry ingredients. You just need to make sure you fill it level full.
You are my husband's hero. I started watching because you are straight forward in the kitchen. You don't try to get fancy, it's food people actually can cook and eat.

Quick tip Becky: I put a folded hand towel under my cutting boards to keep them from swiveling on the counter when I am chopping. You’ll love it! 💖
If you have a glue gun you could put a splodge on the underside corners
We use a damp paper towel under the cutting board to keep it from moving. Just squeeze the water out a bit, unfold it and place under the board.
Yes, it needs to be a damp towl. ❤
Another handy hint is to form a damp kitchen towel into a circle around the base of the bowl to hold it still while beating.
I keep a square cut piece of shelf lining in my silverware drawer for putting under my cutting board. It works great for keeping the cutting board in place. So dangerous (and annoying) having the cutting board move while cutting onions, etc.!
Love how you pop your eyes open when you “taste test”!

Years ago I had pumpkin pizza at a Pub in Portsmouth NH. It was amazing. It was a whole wheat crust with sesame seeds around the edges. The pumpkin puree was savory, lots of garlic in the puree. Topped with caramelized onions and gruyere cheese. So delicious! Your party foods looked amazing!
Yummy!❤ I've had it too! Love NH. Miss home today
I really liked how you kept the meal simple, a main, a side, a bread, before charcuterie board, and one yummy dessert. The main focus of the evening can be on the fellowship. Love it!
Hi Becky! I particularly like the quirky oops' that you make during your process. 🤎It's real, relatable, super cute and funny!🐱
That all looks wonderful!! 😋
One comment, as a guest I really appreciate having a knife fork and spoon no matter what the menu. The knife can be used opposite the fork to keep things from sliding around the plate, and to cut anything I want smaller. The spoon is helpful in getting up all the sauce!
What I didn't understand was, if the fork on the table was for dessert, what were you going to eat the pumpkin pasta with?

Very blessed to have such a 🏡

See see❤
You can freeze dry your egg whites for when you need meringue later. It works great.
I did not know you could do that! What great idea!
Yes, I freeze mine in either muffin tins or in ice cube trays, put all in a ziplock or (if I feel like it) into food sealer vacumn bags.
Thank you!!! @@bridgetwilkins312
Pavlova - the ultimate dessert!! Don’t forget the passion fruit 🎉
Or, to coat pecans when making spiced nuts for the holidays.
Measure your table Becky and keep the measurements in your phone in the notes section, then when you need to buy another tablecloth you will know the exact measurements you need.
With the eggwhites you could make a second desert, a pavlova. It would make a great centerpiece for your festive table.
Yes. Nigella has a great recipe
Love pavlova ❤
Lorraine Pascal has a really great one! Even easier than Nigella Lawson's. I'm a big lover of the British cooking ladies!! 🎉
Or meringues or an angel food cake for another day- they freeze.
I don't know if I will ever plant anything but Bolero carrots again. Your reaction was the same as mine when I pulled my first carrot this fall! I used the pelleted seed and it was so easy to sow them, and I didn't need to thin! They were beautiful! So satisfying when you get such a beautiful crop!

Dearest Becky, you show and put SO MUCH LOVE into your cooking and your presentation. It is a true joy to watch you from start to finish. I’m sure your guests was very impressed with the food and also your dining table.
You are a gem. Your love of cooking and the sincere pleasure you get out of pleasing people with your cooking skills is refreshing. 😊
Once again, thank you to Becky and everyone watching! So many great ideas in the comments!
Tip=Always give flowers & greens a fresh cut just before water/water change so they’ll drink & stay hydrated(florist/horticulturist)
I just finished watching your video from yesterday! I’m not sure why, but I love watching grocery store hauls - so many things that I simply walk right by. My eyes have been opened to purchase some new things!

A crème brulée tip from Belgium: my mother did 1 teaspoon of cornstarch in the mixture, so you don’t have the risk of a watery bottom
Nobody likes a watery bottom 😮
I love the table without the tablecloth much better! It's always so nice to see a little of the wood.
I'm sooo here for all of the wonderful Thanksgiving content! 🦃 Love your videos, Becky ❤
Gotta pause the video and tell you that the way you put your salad together in the bowl to stick in the fridge for the following day BLEW MY MIND. I'm so used to waiting last minute to prep my salads and this is a game changer! Thank you so much!

Next time you make creme brulee you can take one of the ramekins out, pour your water in and then place the ramekin back in the roaster. It will give you a lot more space to work with.
Yeh a bit like watering your seed trays.
The best way is to fill up the pan with water and put it on your oven when you turn it on. Then once to temperature, open the oven and place your ramekins into the water.
@@63dkw Great idea!
My daughter and I took a French cooking class one time one time and we did a whole dinner. Was 6 couples and we did a crème brûlée. Was surprised at how easy. He said easy to do ahead and then pull and finish off just before serving. Chef said restaurants do it that way, they do not make them to order. Made so much more sense to me
Extra egg whites: make small meringues - they keep / freeze very well and make easy desserts! E.g. individual pavlovas
You're so funny - you look like a little bunny rabbit nibbling on the carrot with your fast little chews. Too cute.
Listening to you is so calming.
You’re the Bob Ross of food 🍲♥️
I’ve been binging your videos and I’m pumped to try your recipes.
Always enjoy seeing a new video. I love that you have both friends and family get togethers, and bring us along on the ride.
If you make creme brulee again, use your canning jar lifter to get them out of the hot water 😊
My loved ones and friends really don’t care about what the house looks like! As long as there is love and good food, all is good. Fifty five years of good hosting! 🙏❤️ Happy Thanksgiving Becky, Josh and Baby! Enjoy.
Becky, Your expressions while tasting your food is just too cute. Makes me smile!
I know the work you put in is tremendous so thank you for giving us a bonus video! This one is so fun.😊
I enjoy watching you in your kitchen. You have a wonderful sense of humor while cooking and being yourself.
I love watching you cook and clean, plan gardens and parties. I wish I had half your energy, but I am twice your age.
Becky is amazing and so young too!
We were taught as Mexicans to use a warm lightly damp cloth when making tortillas. Both when covering the massa and the finished product
Loved hearing the puck story on three rivers homestead and I smile as I hear you call them garlic pucks !!
Helpful tip for tablecloths, measure your table and add one foot on each side, or two feet to the total length and two feet to the total width. That will get you the perfect sized tablecloth. I suggest measuring with the leaf in since you usually put the leaf in when you use the tablecloths 💜

I vote for the “Welcome Friends” mat….you always open your videos welcoming your “Friends”!
Just an FYI placing hot dishes from the oven onto the cold granite counter tops can cause them to shatter or crack. Happened to several people I know.
The reset table was a better choice. Looks absolutely fab 🇮🇪
Yay!!! Becky I love your friendsgiving videos. They are so much fun!! I love cooking for friends!!!
Hello Becky love your channel. Just a tip that you might already know. Place a damp towel under that cutting board so it does not move. It is also a good way to avoid a accident with your knife. Thanks for being you.❤
I LOVED the eucalyptus and white Cosmos together. Perfectly simple and simply perfect.
I enjoy watching your videos, I Loved the bread you made in the shape of a pumpkin. I do the same with my cinnamon rolls. I was thinking since you already had your pumpkin stems you could use them as well. Just an idea.❤
Trust the banana pumpkin! It looks like yours was pretty under-ripe. Mine were super dark orange and had AMAZING flavor. Definitely put it on your “try again” list 😊
Yes! I hope she gives it another go. They can get really big too - could be a good producer for her.
I agree, I have grown these before and they get quite big. I do not think it was fully ripe. Besides it is a squash not a pumpkin
Becky, you gave me another memory and smile in this video, Thank You. My husband and I married in '91 your plastic wrap gave the memory. We did our own wedding. We purchased that same plastic wrap. What makes me smile and laugh is. I am still using that same box over 32 years later. I guess I bought enough for the wedding. And the Marriage.
You can make your own pumpkin seeds from the ones you scooped out! They're easy and delicious!
@@cajbafshe said that she thought pumpkin seeds would be really good in the salad, but that she didn't have any on hand.
My wife and I are going to sit down and watch this together all over again 😅
Add a star anise to your mulled juice, it really brings up the flavor. You can also make mulled cider or wine in a crock pot, just be sure to use it on low and to never let the wine boil, or you'll boil off the alcohol.
Hi Becky, if you’re looking for tablecloths you can customize your own by going to a fabric shop and choosing something you love and have it cut to your tables specific measurements. I have done this over here in Australia and my beautiful Mum has hemmed it for me ❤
"I don't have any pumpkin seeds on hand..." she says as she gives them to the chickens ;-) hehe
26:22 The secret vanilla bean makes a flash appearance 😂
I knew I saw you put 2 in there!
Oh gosh! The flowers just made the whole look come together! Lovely.
Mason jars are so iconic for you Becky. I love your ideas.
Just finished watching your latest video, what fun it was seeing all your joy in your hard work for preparing a lovely event for friends. I loved you sniffing the carrots and cocktail mixture, your expression are priceless❤ . They bring me smiles. Thank you for sharing.
I wish I was one of Becky’s friends, and invited over for a dinner party. Everything she makes she makes with love it seems and those are the best meals ever.
Becky you are a superwoman , loved seeing everything come together so smoothly and enjoyed all the recipes.
I add plain and flavored cranberry juice to my iced tea frequently. I add it to both black tea and green tea. This spiced cranberry juice sounds like a nice holiday version for my tea.
Loved the video. Make an egg white scramblewith goat cheese and herbs. Put on an English muffin with either sausage or bacon. Wrap and freeze. Great way to use up egg whites.
Fantastic video! I’m want to try all your recipes, starting with that delicious salad!
I love doing prep for parties or holidays it makes things so much easier! ALSO I'm growing a VANILLA ORCHARD!!! EEK I'm so excited! 💚💚💚
Becky has such beautiful hair! I love the way she wears it!!! ❤ hugs from Michigan!
Becky this was fantastic! I gotta try making that Creme Brule and pumpkin pasta!! That spiced cranberry juice sounds lovely!
33:19 i just bought a fat separator just to use it as a measuring cup with an amazing spout that doesn’t spill all over the place. Thank you for introducing this to me! I am so excited to use it and not get hot water ( or anything) dripping on my counter!
Dear Becky,
You did a wonderful job entertaining your friends.and made everything look so easy. The food looked delicious too. You are a wonderful calm girl. I love your shows so much. I watch all of them. Love ya pat
Cutting boards make a great charcuterie board. I love the rusticness of it.
This looks a great dinner party to have I love the recipes. I think I will try the spiced cranberry juice. I just want to say thank you for all you have taught me over the last couple of month. I have 9 family members coming for Christmas dinner, I have all my meat in the freeze. I’ve prepared all my veg for the soup and for the main course, I have also cooked my mash potatoes and used a cookie scoop to make balls and have flash freezes them. Now all I have to think about is sticks for gravy and dessert. Thank you for inspiring this old dog to get organised x
Don't forget to share the chickens feasting on all the goodies from the kitchen. That is just as enjoyable as what's going on in the kitchen.
A good idea for the nuts in your salad is to let your guest sprinkle over their salad in case anyone has a nut allergy like me. I can’t even eat it if someone cut something with the same knife as a nut or I’ll be sick (best case scenario) all night. It’s sooo hard to feel safe when eating anything I don’t make myself. Pumpkin seeds are my go to for crunch!
Everything looks delicious and your flowers for the table are so pretty. I woukd suggest you choose a different green element for your arrangements. Eucalyptus is such a strong scent that it will interfere with the delicious scent of your food. The eucalyptus woukd be lovely in your living room. The same is true of scented candles.
You can use mineral oil to oil up your wood cutting boards. It makes them look like new and conditions them beautifully.
Your eyes become so bright and lively when you taste your delicious food that I can almost taste it myself!
Fabulous job!! Everything looked delicious, I'm sure your guests had a wonderful evening🥰🥰🥰
Hey becky love the video ❤. If you really like that table cloth, you can buy 2 of them and attach them together using Fabric tapes. I usually do that for my curtains the Fabric tape i use i just need to stick it and iron it and its done.
Loads of love ❤❤❤❤
I love the notion of cooking the day before the party.
Otherwise I’m exhausted by the time the guests get there!
Another fabulous prep day at Becky's 🎉🥳❤...Delicious food.😋.Im a New Zealander living in Wyoming.. ...One great way to use egg whites are meringues or pavlova ...pavlova is a national dessert for us ..😊
The bread was so cute. Everything else looked amazing as well. I love creme brulee. ❤
Becky, you should try your hand at growing pumpkin on a stick for your bouquets next year. It's an ornamental eggplant and so cool looking. They also sell them at my local Trader Joe's
Becky! I just saw you put those custard cups from the hot water onto your granite countertop! Makes my feet tingle!
By my way of thinking, just like you wait 5 minutes after you take the cover off your canner before you take the jars out, I would wait 5 minutes before taking those custard cups out of the hot water. Then I would also put them on at least a towel if not a cooling rack to cool to room temperature before covering them and putting them in the fridge.
Just my honest opinion.
Love love love your videos. ❤
The table looks beautiful Becky😊 all the food looks delicious 😊
Hi Becky, I don't know if you'll see this but I wanted to share something with you. I tend to wear gloves when handling hot pumkins and squash. Some times I use oven mitts and use a second pot holder. And I weight till it's cooled if I have time. I like that you waited for it to cool. May you have a blessed day.
I’ve never heard of Friendsgiving. What an awesome thing to do!! Gonna have to start something like that with my friends. ❤ Put the brown rug in front between your chairs
You can make double use of your vanilla bean pods, no need to throw them away. Rinse them off thoroughly to get rid of the cream, then dehydrate them and grind them and use them to add awesome vanilla flavour to dishes that normally use vanilla bean paste.
