    Becky, just recently found your channel and I love it. I’m 70 yes old and I love to see the younger generation keep doing food preservation. Here’s a tip from my years of experience for you cast iron when you have stuck on mess. Just put water in the pan put it back on the stove and bring back up to a boil, it makes everything just come up from the bottom very easy.

    Ms. Becky, I keep forgetting to tell u how adorable u are when u say, "we" made something "together", or "we" went shopping "together". U make me feel like I actually participated with u, like good friends would do!! U have such a sweet personality, u'r bubbly, content, seem at peace and that, in turn, feels like we were actually sitting with u in ur kitchen making good, homegrown food to feed our people!! Please promise to never change the way u are, trust me, we love u exactly as u are, no pretences, no attitude of being better than others, just very humble and grateful for all u have!! I can't wait to see u and Josh become parents, it's the best and toughest experience u'll go through in life and every second is so worth it!! Remember to be gentle with urself, if u just don't have it in u to put out new videos every other day, we will understand!! If some followers complain about it, my motto is, "keep scrolling and don't let the door hit u in the butt"!! I really am a nice person, but at my age, (60), I have less time or patience for snarky people. It just isn't necessary, wisdom and older age has helped me to that realization!! Kindness costs nothing and actually lifts, not only ur spirit, but others as well!! Thank u for sharing ur beautiful life with us, it makes this granny so happy to see u!! Happy Holidays to u and urs from me and mine in Alaska!!💖💖👩‍🦳💖💖

Then I put it back into the spinner and Spin it till it spins off all of the liquid. It makes life so much easier.

I dug around just to see if there was any improvement. I'm happy to say our patience is paying off. I'm leaving the sweet potatoes for now and plan to harvest between April and May next year.

I usually use a toothpick to tuck and close the pocket so I don’t lose so much filling when I cook them and it melts. Then pull out the toothpick after cooking. I learn so much from you so I thought maybe that would be helpful to you. Thank you for all your content. Have a great week!

    Becky an easy way to clean your cast iron is add a couple drops of dawn and an inch or two of water in the pan, turn the burner on and bring it to a boil. Let it sit til it cools. Works great every time and doesnt ruin the seasoning on the pan. I learned this while camping

  • @butr5lybuty503
    @butr5lybuty503 Год назад +5

    Like your target decor items. Love the runner and chargers adding textures and neutral colors. Tip: when decorating a table take into count the size of the table and room. If you have a larger dinning table like you, you need a few larger items, height is good being you're in a large room too. This is so the table and room doesnt over power small decor items. You can gather in a group across the center of table w/pumpkins, squash and fall leaves or greenery w/ tall large candles are always visually pleasing. The cinnamon pinecones smell might be over powering for dinner. If so, they're great in a basket near the door when your quests arrive.
    Decor is where my education and experience is. However, the kitchen is where I learn tips every video you share! Thx for doing what you do. Blessing to you, Josh n baby. Happy Friendgiving!!

    If you put water in your cast iron and boil it on the stovetop, it could help loosen cooked on foods, without causing your fast iron to rust, from soaking in water, something that should never be done.
    Boy, you turned a simple chicken and veggies meal, into a gourmet delight!

  • @clipsfromcherie

    That was so fun. Your table scape is going to be very nice. I'm inspired to try making stuffed chicken breast now too. My tip for ease in cleaning cast iron, which I use 90%, is to remove hot food to a Pyrex dish and deglaze the cast iron pan while it's still hot. Sometimes, I use the deglaze liquid, but sometimes I just dump it. Hope that helps 😊

  • @kathybunch200
    @kathybunch200 Год назад

    I wish I was there to show you an easy way to clean your cast iron skillet. I saw this on RUclips but I have forgotten the channel. Here goes: scrape as much off the pan as you can, sit your pan in the sink, pour boiling water over it (no soap in iron skillets). Let it sit there a minute and use a plastic or wooden scrapper on the bottom and sides. I put my William Sonoma rubber gloves on for that part because the water was boiling. Rinse, dry and put a tiny bit of olive oil on a paper towel and rub the oil all over the inside of the skillet. Turn the paper towel over and dry it as if you’re rubbing off the oil. Your skillet will look so nice. Your skillets look nice any way Becky. Tell us how you clean yours. FYI. A few times I’ve used a plastic pancake turner that has a straight edge but mostly I use a scraper. I love your channel. Josh is a lucky husband to have you cooking for him.

  • @gelwood99
    @gelwood99 Год назад

    If you hold your hand flat as you did cutting into the chicken breast, you can put a hand full of cherry tomatoes and using the chef's knife, cut them in half. At my job I had so much prep work to produce the salads we served in the deli and with a bit of nerve and a steady hand it becomes a simple process. Maybe try instead of butterflying the breast, you can create a pocket with a smaller hole to either pipe the filling in or shove it into the cavity and use your finger to distribute it to the back as you fill it. Facebook has vanilla bean groups you cab join and get very good prices on bulk beans, fair trade from the sources. I love your videos.💕 I hope this helps you Becky.

  • @tinkytinky9914
    @tinkytinky9914 Год назад +10

    If you add chopped jalapeno to the cream cheese filling, you stuff the chicken then actually wrap the entire breast in raw bacon. These are awesome to wrap each one (before cooking) in seran wrap and baggy and you can freeze them as a freezer meal. To cook you just sear each side on the stove then bake them in the oven. It even creates its own sauce. It's officially called Jalapeno popper chicken and is AMAZING. Laura in the kitchen has a more detailed video on it. It's to die for. No joke. :))

  • @TLowens
    @TLowens Год назад

    As a child I hated cleaning my mother's cast iron, when things were stuck on. I learned if you put some water in it and heat it up on the stove then scrape the bottom when water is hot or real warm. Stuck on food comes up like a charm. If you do this right before you start the dishes it will be cool by the time you get to the pots and pans. Hope this helps. Love your channel have been binge watching for several days now! Lol

    Becky if you have a Trader Joe’s anywhere near you pick up a tub with orange label of triple ginger cookies and use that instead of grahams. TJ’s carries several different kinds of ginger cookies but the ones in a tub is absolutely addicting. I use it in almost everything calling for graham crackers. It would be perfect with a pumpkin cheesecake.

  • @dorothyyoung8231

    For your “shaky cheese”, if you have a lid from the commercial shelf-stable park, it fits a regular mouth mason jar. They’re really handy for anything you want to shake or spoon something out of mason jars.
    Incidentally, many peanut butter lids also fit regular mouth mason jars. A one-piece lid is much more convenient than a two-part lid if you’re not canning the item.

    So another channel made me think of you. (It was a woodworking channel) he stated that he never liked the videos that automatically ask for you to "subscribe, like, comment and share" at the very beginning of the video and that he felt he needed to give the viewer some entertainment and prove himself to them by not reminding until half way through the video. It made me think of you because I watch mostly your videos and I don't ever remember you making that statement ever. And I have to say that I really enjoy that fact, you let your content get you subscribers and likes. You're truly an awesome person. Thank you for everything. ❤️

    Cloth napkins in neutral colors are a great way to decorate the table for different occasions because you can fold them into different shapes. Like I folded ours into a fan on thanksgiving (added a little turkey body that I printed on cardstock and cut out) and a Christmas tree and Santa's hat (added a Santa face as a napkin ring that I also printed) for Christmas.

    Hey Becky, love your videos. On my hard to clean cast iron pans, I put water in them, and bring it to boil, turn off heat, and let it sit for awhile, it'll loosen everything, just drain water, and scoop out the remains. Yes, you can freeze cream cheese. For your leftover chicken w/ cream cheese, you can shred it in mixing bowl, and make some of your delicious hand pies, just a suggestion.

    I didn't read all 990 comments to see someone else already made this suggestion. So, sorry if it's a repeat idea. Here goes: Rather than butterfly your chicken breast, try only cutting a small opening and creating a large pocket instead. In that way, you can stuff your filling into the pocket and you won't lose so much of it into the pan during the cook/baking process. Happy cooking!

I’m very impressionable. 😂 Every time I see your hauls I want to go shopping. I’ve also saved a lot by freezing produce etc so it doesn’t get wasted, making 2 smaller casseroles instead of 1 that goes bad, my time by having freezer meals to do other things etc. I’m having a hip replacement in August. I put it out that far so I could stock up on freezer meals hopefully. I also work as a business logistics director for a summer camp during summer. Hoping I’ll have time for cooking to fill my freezer before surgery. You have a true keeper in Josh. He is so supportive and also handy in most things. My husband is the same.

    Always love your videos. I know what is most important. It is overwhelming having a lot of decorations & "stuff" My enthusiastic brother gifted my son a nutcracker most every year when he was little. My son is 24 now and several years ago he said he did not want to keep them anymore. We had well over 20 nutcrackers ranging in sizes, 1 inch, 3 inches, 12 inches up to 24 inches. We had to have an extra large storage box for all of them. I agree with you on having minimal items for specific holidays. It is liberating to not have to store and unpack everything each year. The Nativity is the most important thing to have at Christmas
