I'm LOVING all your what I eat videos! 💞💞💞
Love this video! I love how you vlogged your day! You should definitely do more videos like this!💕
I love your videos and how you always show foods that I can easily make and enjoy! Makes making a shopping list so much easier (and not expensive!)
"Turns out they don't have fajitas" made me LOL! Poor Matt!
Hahaha poor guy!
I absolutely love your channel, I can't wait for it to grow even more. It'll be well deserved!! 😊
Obsessed with your what I eat in a day videos!
I've been doing "Bulletproof" coffee over the last couple weeks. Absolutely love it. I use 1-2 tbs of grass-fed butter and I'm working up to a tbs of mct oil too. Drinking that for breakfast and it keeps me full for hours!
Yeah it's really yummy! I don't think I could ever not have breakfast lol it's one of my favorite meals but I am enjoying this style of coffee! :)
Love seeing the shutthekaleup impact and seeing us both following some of her diet tips! love!
I just wanted to say that I have been subscribed to you for about 2-3 months and I loveeeeee your videos! Thank you! You have given me so many ideas for food. Please do more groceries hauls! And more what I eat :)
Aw yay that makes me so happy Natalie!!! Thank you so much! And there will be a grocery haul coming very soon so keep an eye out! ;)
Love your videos! Motivates me to live a healthier lifestyle :-) keep it up!
Love these videos! I need all the healthy meal ideas I can get now that I'll be home from college for the summer!
Woohoo! Yay for summers off! :)
Love that you made the switch to buying bakery bread vs packaged bread! I did the same thing within the past year just to eat more quality ingredients too. Not sure how quickly you go through bread (my fiancé and I don't eat it everyday so one loaf can last us a long time), but if it takes you a while to get through the loaf I recommend freezing it. You can pull a slice out of the freezer and toast it up and it tastes just like the day you bought it.
Love these videos! More please!
Ceviche is my favorite food, Becca! I was just in Miami for work and ate it every single day. It's wild how different it is served depending on where you get it. I am so used to eating it with tortilla chips or dried plantains (my favorite way), but this past week it was served with sweet potato, peruvian corn, and cancha (toasted corn). So yum anyway it is made though! And finally, I totally feel you on the margarita situation! I am a wine girl, but my mixed cocktail of choice is a marg, but ONLY if it is all real and fresh. Keep up the awesome work, Becca! Xoxo
Have you ever tried a French press? The coffee comes out so good and unlike a keurig you can throughly clean it after every use.
Hope Hughes Just started using one now and o love it
*i
I'm seriously considering getting one! Just trying to see if I can make the keurig work for me first (it's brand new) before I buy something else haha
Becca Bristow a new WHITE one to match your cabinets! ....video please! 😎
When making your bread, make sure your yeast is mixed with a little warmer than room temp water. If you mix it with too hot or too cold of water it can actually "kill" the yeast and it won't rise. It helps to put your dough in a warm place and keep it covered. It'll help it rise. 😊
Hey Becca! So fun to see you're making your own bread. My mom and I started to make our own whole grain spelt bread a few years ago when we realized the crazy ingredients in most store-bought options. All this to tell you that when we first started our bread looked almost identical to yours! Here's a few tips and tricks we learned through trial and error that ended up making our loafs look nice and pretty.
1. If it's gummy, add a bit more flour than the recipe calls for.
2. Don't over knead the dough. Some grains have higher gliadin to glutenin ratio which makes the gluten more fragile, breaking down easier from over kneading. We limited ourselves to 5 minutes maximum to keep the gluten intact.
3. Place a damp paper towel in your microwave and microwave for about 15 seconds. This creates the perfect humid, damp environment you need to allow your dough to rise. Place the bowl with your dough in the microwave afterward, and cover the bowl with the warm paper towel if desired.
4. Last one, if your recipe tells you to beat down your dough half way through the rising process and then allow it to rise more, try omitting that step. So much of the rising process depends on humidity, altitude, and temperature, that there's no hard and fast rule that makes this step necessary. For us, it worked much better when we left it out.
Hope these are helpful to you!
+Sarah Kelley de Marrero ahh Sarah you're amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing these tips!!!
Becca Bristow no problem! Best of luck :)
I've been following you for awhile now, love your videos! I never knew you lived in Delaware! I'm a fellow Delawarean and I LOVE Agave! Best margs for sure! I'm living in Guam now but will be visiting in the summer and Agave is definitely on my list of places to visit :)
Oh no way!! Haha love meeting another Delawarean. Guam sounds awesome! Hope you're having fun!
Use a bolder, stronger coffee and pack it as tightly as you can in the k cup! Also, make sure you selecting the "strong" option on your keurig😀
Love these types of videos!
Thanks Rachel!! :)
Also how far are you filling up the little pod for the keurig? I have one for the 2.0 as well and have never had an issue, but usually will fill it at least like 3/4 of the way (my normal morning coffee is 20 oz because I have a problem)
Hi Becca - love you, your husband & puppy 💗 & I’m so thankful I found your helpful ideas. So yes, I use the 2.0 and I usually would have purchased a medium strength kcup for my coffee. Now I purchase a medium-dark ground coffee and I use 10 oz option BUT my coffee maker has a ‘strong’ option on the lower left side of the screen. Then it’s perfect 👌🏼. What is ghee???
Agave in Lewes is my all time favorite restaurant! I crave their guac and their corn on the cob. We go there at least 2-3 times when we are on vacation. So so good!
I ditched my keurig and bought a French press! I find it so much easier too. You don't have any waste with the French press other than the bag the coffee comes in.
I'm seriously thinking about getting one..I just want to see if I can make the Keurig work (it's brand new) before I buy something else haha
I'm really interested in this bread! It sounds epic!
you have the most beautiful wedding ring i've ever seen😭
I have the same kcup and I've never had a problem like I've seen others have. I do drink the darkest roast of coffee from starbucks or caribou coffee and I use a spoon spefically made for measuring coffee by boldness but you pretty much have to fill the whole cup up to make the biggest cup and it not be watered down. Lol xo
Love your videos Becca! Just curious-are you still going to putting videos up for Charge Nutrition too?
I love the white cabinets!
Olivia!! Can't wait to share the whole process with you guys! :)
Omg I need to get the disposable filters!!! It took me awhile to get used to not using the individual k cups and at first I was like.. heck no. But I found the right amount of ground coffee to put in the cup and I usually make 6 ounce cups vs 8.
Another awesome tequila based cocktail is a Paloma, they're quite easy to make at home too! A proper one should be made with fresh grapefruit juice, a top off of soda water, and the smallest splash of simple syrup. Serve it on the rocks and garnish with a lime. For the ratio I always do it to taste, I usually taste it first to see if simple syrup is actually needed since tequila can be sweet enough on its own. I almost always add extra soda water because I like bubbles and fizz. If you like the sweet/salt balance of a margarita you can add a salted rim if you'd like.
If you ever order one in a restaurant or a bar make sure you ask for fresh grapefruit juice since it can be sometimes made with Squirt or another grapefruit based soda which is gross in my opinion.
Aw would love to see Rosie in every vlog! Lol. What does she have in her mouth at the end? Good point about eating something small before going out to eat! I'm a sucker for popovers but try to only have two if a place has them. Most of the time I don't like the bread because it's too hard, I like soft rolls. Also would love to see more info on home improvements! Have you ever done bathroom stuff with grouting? Mine is starting to get cracks and want to learn how to do it myself. Maybe someday I will redo the cabinets like you!
For the k cups, I use a very very strong coffee (like Sumatra or another very dark roast) and make sure you pack the coffee grounds in well and fill the cup all the way up! I've never had a problem with watery coffee from that!
Great tip, thank you so much!!
Please keep us updated on your reusable k-cup journey! I've had the same problem! Love your videos, Becca!
You got it Kaitlin!!
random question but i LOVE your white phone case. where is it from??!
I had the same problem with mine! My first three attempts were awful but then I really added lots of grinds to the cup like almost past max, it helped quite a bit for me..maybe it'll help with yours
Keep making these!! I look forward to these videos now 😬
You got it Maggie!! :)
On Amazon, you can buy refillable K cups. They come in a pack of 3 or 6 from what I remember. You use them like a regular K cup.
love!
I want to try the reusable k cup filter! Super cool.
People are saying the San Francisco Bay coffee is really good AND the kcups are not plastic & totally recyclable..I'm so trying those next! :)
Becca Bristow ohhhh! Good to know! Thanks!
Is the Agave you went to in Chadds Ford? Looking forward to trying that!! (and maybe the "real" one in Lewes..hah)
What kind of coffee are you using in your reusable k-cups? Just make sure it is good quality and it shouldn't taste weak, also make sure you fill it to the brim! Also, french press coffee is the absolute best, so you should try that if you haven't!
We use an espresso grind for the reusable K cups and it turns out pretty well!
Great tip, thanks Lex!!
I LOVE agave. I have a vacation home in Fenwick Island, DE and we always make the trip up to Lewes for a meal there. Maybe one day I'll get to meet you while there 😍
Omg yay!! Isn't it the best?? We're there all the time in the summer lol so it's likely! ;)
Fill it all the way up and use a strong coffee like Italian roast or Starbucks ground coffee in a bag... I order my coffee from amazon I like the BRITT coffee from Costa Rica and I fill the cup all the way and it's AMAZING!
I’m from Chicago and I’ve never heard of BYOB for restaurants! That is so interesting!
Hi Becca your hair and skin is so beautiful. Could you please do a video on the camera you use, microphone, and how to set and decide the setting to use on your camera for the quality to be so good, clear, and bright? Do you have any tips for how to be yourself and comfortable in front of the camera? Great video thank you for sharing what you eat in a day.
Try the purple rubber cups. My roommate and I both use them and they work very well for the keurig
When I use the reusable K-cups I tap the k-cup on the counter to compress the grounds a little, that way you can fit more in, you could also try pressing lightly. Not too hard, though, you don't want to clog it!
Great tip, thanks Joy!!
This might not be a helpful tip but I use the reusable k cups and love them!!! The trick that I have found is that you have to use a coffee that isn't super finely ground up, so that you can fill the coffee up to the top of the k cup!! My husbands coffee is really fine and he can only fill it up halfway (or the coffee will l just drip out and nobody has time for that). I use coffee that is less finely ground, and I always get a dark French roast, fill it up to the top and it works for me!! I love strong coffee so I feel your pain!! If I want it to be super strong, I fill it up to the top and make a medium size cup...but do two...maybe a little indulgent but whatever! haha!
Oh! Also, I drink my coffee with unsalted, grassfed butter and coconut oil (rather than MCT oil because I'm not sure how else I would use MCT oil) and I LOVE it!!!! I'll have to try ghee next time!!
Love my bulletproof coffee! Whenever I tell people about it they get totally freaked out
You're so lovely! I just subscribed! I'm super curious about that coffee you make. I think I'm gonna have to try it. Is it sweet at all? That's my biggest thing...having some sweetness to my coffee. Thanks! xoxo
Hi Gorgeous! Great vid as always 😃❤️
Can you please share how you curl your hair? 😍
Awesome tip about eating a snack before going to a restaurant 👍
Thanks girl! I actually showed it in one of my hair videos, I believe it was the 'How I Saved my Hair' video! :)
Have you ever tried Border Cafe? It's near the Christiana Mall (but not at the mall). It's TexMex food (and some Cajun food too), but everything is freshly prepared and pretty darn tasty. I can't speak on how the margaritas are because I'm not a margarita person, but it may be worth a shot! I'm anxiously awaiting Agave's reopening after the remodel! I'm craving some Mexican food now haha.
Oh and they do have fajitas! Lol
I use the San Francisco Bay compostable k-cups. The coffee tastes super good and they're a good deal on amazon prime!
YES everyone keeps telling me about these I'm def ordering them!!
I add coconut oil into my coffee instead of butter and it's amazing!
We have the reusable kcups at work and I hate it, I stop at McDonald's black coffee and add my stuff
But at home if we want coffee I use instant it taste delicious and I add coconut oil not sure if it's good for you but I like the taste, let me know if that's ok to use I've also heard protein shake like premier is a good way to make your coffee taste better please let me know thanks 😉💕
Ooh 50 cups for $5 is not bad let me know how you like it
Ceviche is always so good 😋
Nourish Move Love is a MN Native! Her workouts are killer and her classes are even harder, but she is the sweetest person you will ever meet!
No way!! So cool she teaches classes! I would love to go to one someday!
I run the coffee through twice when I use the reusable kcup and after that to make it even darker I empty the grounds, put in new grounds, and then I run the coffee through two more times. Super annoying and time consuming but it works. I usually make it the night before.
Definitely a little time consuming but hey at least you found something that works!! Thanks Marina! :)
I commented on an older video but where did you get that marble background for your photos ? And I need to try squarebars!!!! 😋
Lol it's actually just marble tack paper on a poster board :) :)
Try getting an espresso roast! The darker coffee will dilute to the perfect cup of coffee!
Ahh okay!! Def trying that thanks Emma!! xx
I fell in love with your dog
She's the best :) :)
Turkish ground ( which is a very fine grind) organic coffee. I prefer whole bean Peruvian sunset that I grind in the store and keep in the fridge. Good luck.
You should try using a bread machine! It makes baking your own bread super easy ☺️
I also suggest trying a french press! Can you add more coffee grounds to your k cup?
Love Square Bars! Eating a PB one now :)
So good!
Reusable K Cup tip: It depends on the type of coffee that you use for it. I recommend getting the beans freshly ground for it
So good to know. Thanks Priya!
My bday is Cinco de Mayo🎂Glad I found this👍🏼
I forgot to say I also mill my own wheat. I use a wondermill grain mill and get my organic wheat berries in bulk from azure standard co-op. You can order them on Amazon but azure has good prices if you can join in your area.
Did you see the Agave in Naples when you were here? It's on the corner of Airport and Vanderbilt!
No I didn't!! Have you been?
Yes ma'am!!! The food is okay but the margs are super yummy!!!
❤ your vids always
Can you do a workout routine or video. Also how do you feel about organic sugar?
No fajitas at a Mexican restaurant?? Lol. And I'm with you on the k-cup situation. I tried those paper filters first, then the reusable filters and didn't care for either. If you find a solution I would love to hear it.
I "got on" Snapchat and am following you. I enjoy your posts there and check for updates multiple times a day but haven't really figured that all out and you are the only one I follow there, but that's okay. Love your what I eat Vlogs!
Hahaha I know! It's been a struggle although some people are recommending the San Francisco Bay coffee from Costco - they are single serve pods but they are biodegradable!! I think I'm gonna try those next! :) And so glad to hear you're on snapchat now, it's so much fun!!
Hi Becca! I have been making my own bread for a while now and i only use few ingredients and it is the easiest bread to make and it tastes amazing and is also good for you.. I will put the recipe here. I'm from Europe so you would probably have to change your measurings. You need : 500 g wholegrain spelt flour, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 packet baking powder, 500 ml mineral sparkling water, seeds by your choice to mix in. You mix all the ingredients than you put it in the smaller baking tray and bake for 1 hour on 190 °C. That's it. It's good for you, easy to make and it tastes good too :)
Ahh thank you Tanya!!! You're amazing! One question for you - is the packet of baking powder yeast? Or is it just baking powder? Thanks! :)
No yeast, just baking powder :) If you will try it please let me know how it turned out ;) Also I'd like to ask you if you could make a video on how to eat properly for any type of diet so you can get all of your daily nutrients. Thank you for this type of videos I really enjoy watching them! Hope you have a great day!
How much ghee did you add to your coffee? I'm excited I just bought some to add to my cup. Do you add anything else to your coffee?
That's all I add as of now! And if I had to guess I prob add about 1-2 tsp
Becca Bristow thanks! Can't wait to try it
I'm not sure if you made a why I became a dietitian video, but if not that would be such a fun video to watch (-:
Try using ghee while roasting vegetables.
Use ghee instead of any kind of oil, it makes the food so much better and it smells really good
Hi Becca! Where did you get your ghee from?I have been thinking about trying some in my coffee as well! ☺️
I get mine from Trader Joe's! :)
Thanks girl!
No prob!!
Coconut Oil does the same thing to the coffee... and the flavor is great too!!
Ooh I'll have to try!!
Good job for making your own bread! It's definitely a task 🤗❤️Maybe it needs to be proofed a warmer temp ( like body temp) and maybe for longer? Better luck next time!
Thanks Brandi!! I'm in the process of making another starter and it's already turning out WAY better..it's actually bubbly & light instead of super dense like last time..so fingers crossed this batch turns out better! :)
Gotta let the bread rise. Let sour dough starter sit in the fridge for a week or so as we. . It won't be as dense. I have a three ingredient artisan bread I make. One bowl, so delicious. The key is in the rising and then bake it at a high heat to start to get the crust thicker, spritz with water and the. When it's done you can rub a light cot of coconut oil over the bread and sprinkle with sea salt. There are lots on line but you can add more ingredients like olives, sun dried tomato herb de province, etc to make it more unique. Once you play around with it, you will perfect it. You will never buy store bought again. No preservatives. :)
I just started a new starter - this one is just plain ol' water and flour - I'm gonna feed it everyday for ~7 days and then try again! Thank you so much for these tips!! I'm determined to get the process down (with whole wheat bread too) so we can have fresh, simple bread every week! :)
You could try to buy the k cups that are not made of plastic like WideAwake they have a small mesh instead
Good tip, thanks!
You should try putting tomatoes on your avocado toast.. it's soooo good!
Ooh yum!! Thanks Sarah!
I had the same problem with the coffee tasting weak. I've found that when I fill the reusable kcup all the way to the top, then it tastes better. Hope this helps:)
Thanks Kaytie!!
do you always have an egg for breakfast?
When will you post the video of painting your cabinets??! Or did I just miss the video?
Coming soon!! Look out for it at the end of this week!
i love your video!...., its very funny to me how cinco de mayo is such an "important" date in USA , here in Mexico is an important historic battle against France that had place in a city named Puebla, Mexico ...but as a holiday not at all... we would never celebrate it like you do ... I write this just as a "fun fact" 😉
I buy a really fresh sourdough in the grocery freezer section-made locally-and it is a small loaf-dense and not high. Maybe depends on the recipe? So maybe it is right? Did it at least taste good?
Never Mind I should have shut up and watched -see if it tasted good then maybe because it has less ingredients that was normal.
Hahaha you crack me up Joy but yes it did taste good but was just WAY to dense. I think the problem was with the starter...it was super dense & definitely not right. I'm working on making another starter now and it already looks WAY better and normal, so hopefully the next batch turns out well!! :)
Just get a small coffee maker! I have a 4 cup coffee maker that uses little filters you can buy at any grocery store.
Haha that's prob what I should do, I'm just trying to make the keurig work for me (it's brand new) before I buy something else!
Try putting coconut oil in your coffee!! Same healthy fats to keep you full and I swear it moisturizers my lips as a I drink it!
Ooh yummy! Thanks!!
Rosey is so adorable! I have a doodle that is cream colored.
If you take her on walks every day, I cannot imagine how dirty her paws get. My tip is to give them "poodle feet" when they get groomed. It makes my life so much easier because she stays clean. Just wanted to give a little tip... it is simple but makes the world of difference.
Omg this is a GREAT tip thank you!! Her paws are fine on walks but they do get muddy in our backyard since our grass is a little spotty back there! I will def ask for this next time she gets groomed thank you!!
How do you make the omelette?
Get a bean grinder and a French press! Sooo much tastier.
I have been considering that!
Do you think that having bullet proof coffee and breakfast is a lot of calories for the morning? Just confused because I thought bullet proof coffee was a meal replacer (430 cal)?
Hi Johanna! I actually don't make the typical 'bulletproof' coffee since I don't add multiple TBSP of fat (typical bulletproof coffee uses MCT oil and butter I believe), probably just one or maybe even less (I honestly don't measure it out) so it wouldn't be nearly that many calories. Breakfast, or any meal for that matter, is a great opportunity to get in lots of nutrients, including fat, so I personally would never want to cut out a whole meal and replace it with a drink! Hope this helps :)
Ok, thanks for the clarifying because I made it the other day and enjoyed it, but researched it and worried I was adding to many calories to my breakfast. I made mine with ghee and a tsp of coconut oil. I won't use the MTC brain octane oil either though. I love to eat breakfast with a good healthy protein vs drinking it! I totally agree! Thanks so much! Love how you are real and share with us with you eat.
Try the videos on making sourdough bread from Alex French Guy Cooking ; I really enjoy his videos. And the adorable French accent doesn't hurt either :)
I actually just recently watched that!! He is really fun to watch! His bread had quite a lot of steps lol but it did turn out amazing
Hi Becca, I have PCOS and endometrial hyperplasia and overweight. I have stubborn bulging belly fat which has been challenging to get rid of. I've been trying to do a low carb diet, gluten free, grain free but it's been sooooooooo hard. Any tips you can give me? Thanks.
Sajani Mathews-Perez I'm right there with you! Trying to lose weight is SO hard! I've had a lot of luck with Shakeology - it's the only type of "diet" shake that keeps me full for a few hours. I feel like it also starts my day with something super healthy and that helps me set the tone for the rest of the day
Thank you. Where can I buy shakeology?
You should see if there's a Great Harvest Bread Company near you! They have the BEST bread and they bake it fresh every day. Their honey whole wheat is made with just whole wheat, honey, water, yeast, and salt.
Yumm!! That sounds amazing! Thanks Kara I will def look into it! :)
I fill the k cup and pack it down as hard as i can and add more coffee beans if i have space.
Thanks Lizete!!
You live so close to me! I live in OCMD you should do a meet up!!
No way!! That would be so fun!!
For making bread, getting a small bread maker would be the most efficient way to make it and they are not that expensive either and it does all the hard work and you still control the ingredients.
I think I might invest in one! I have been taking a break from bread-making all summer but definitely want to give it another go starting in the fall. Thanks for the tip!
