    Becky, you don’t have to let the marinade go to waste when you grill. Just pour it into a saucepan, bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer until the marinade thickens. Depending what’s in it you may need to strain it. The result is usually a concentrated, flavorful sauce to pour over the grilled meat.

    On St. Patrick’s Day I’ll be 78! Since my parents both lived to 95 and had six to eight rows of veggies each summer, I have not thought of myself as being “over-the-hill” old...yet! So, as usual, I’m planning on planting a few tomatoes and a couple bell pepper plants this spring/summer! I’ve been doing this each year, as I really enjoy them! To you in your early 60s, forget about your age! You are still young, so plant and harvest! Enjoy!

    Becky, you should also try making compound butters with whole fruit in it. You simply let the butter soften to room temp, stir in fruit, shape in waxed paper or plastic wrap, wrap in foil, and freeze. It is really good on oatmeal, waffles, pancakes, etc.

    Not sure if anyone else commented on this Becky, but if you lay a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil over the grill grates and set it on High for about 15-20 minutes all the goo will cook to ashes and scrape off easily. It turns the grill into a self cleaning oven. My husband as been doing this for 40 years, works like a charm.

    I also started to cut my Biscuits in squares to avoid having to smush pieces together. On the ends that means one or two sides don't have the flake look, so it's less pretty but I find it much easier and pretty much the same!

    We have been making Dutch babies for a very long time is a special tea for Christmas and birthdays but our recipes a little bit different it’s for every egg you add a quarter cup flour and a quarter of a cup of milk and that’s it and we invested in individual size little dishes so that everyone could have their own round Dutch baby and it has been a big hit for years and then we always serve it. I think this is the classic as you serve it with lemon juice and powdered sugar. Yum.

I live in a dorm, so I don't have much space...but I filled it to the brim and everytime I go to the store I come back with ten more things than I planned to, especially bread, pasta and rice variants. Then I keep reaching for the "easy" options instead of actually cooking(even though I love doing it!) and run out of those and produce so quickly that I feel like I need to go to the store again, to refill just this one thing only to end up with another big haul I didn't actually need😅 So now I'm not going to the store again until I've eaten through my stockpile and instead ask my roommates to get some fresh produce for me when they go shopping, so that I can't be tempted to bring home unnecessary things ^^

    With my onions I love to dice some and slice some. I put them in pint sized vacuum sealed bags and then I freeze them flat. The slices can be used for fajitas or Philly sandwiches.

    Can't wait to see your garden Becky! Your raised beds will be great! I've got green beans planted in the ground so far and cucumbers and squash planted in peat moss cups. They have both sprouted! I planted carrots in a large plastic deep tub. They are up too! Like you I am very excited for this canning season! Love your cooking recipes! Baby Acre sounds so sweet in the background. One day I hope we'll get to see him helping you in the garden!

    Love and appreciate you so much Becky! Thanks for always being such a great inspiration to dig deeper and get things done! Yesterday we made about 300 cookies and most of the dough went into the freezer for the future. I love cooking big and cleaning ONCE. Such a great way to get ahead. Blessings to you, Josh and Baby “A”. ❤

    Becky I'm really interested to know what your grocery bill is like for the year? Just to get an idea of whether it's something that will work for our family the way you do it - bulk buying quality meat, growing some of your veggies, making a lot of things from scratch and pantry challenges. Thanks!

    Hi Becky... A GARLIC PEELING HACK. I know this doesn't have anything to do with this episode but I immediately thought of you having your garlic get together to peel garlic. You break apart the garlic, put it in a bowl and pour boiling water over the cloves . Soak for 5 mins. Then strain and take a knife and pull the paper skin right off. I hope this helps. 🙏

    I love doing different kinds of compound butter and freezing it! I currently have 6 different kinds of butter in my freezer. I make the butter and then roll it into logs, freeze it for a bit to harden it up, then slice it into sections(I do coins because I like to use it on top of steaks a lot). I then lay them on a parchment lined baking sheet and flash freeze them before putting them into food saver bags(I use the ziploc type ones that I can unseal and reseal again with these)!

    I make mushroom powder regularly, but I also made a super concentrated mushroom seasoning, a huge shopping bag of different fresh mushrooms and some dried ones ended out as a cup of powder in the end. It is such a flavor bomb, so it has to be used sparingly, but it is amazing in sauces etc. Fantastic! 🤗

    Hi Becky! Yes compound butters are amazing to have on hand to add great flavors to everything! Also, if you bring that chicken marinade up to temp/boil on the stove, you can still pour it over rice or whatever. I encourage you to look up the safe temp just to be sure. Hope this helps! 🌺 Jen

  • @morgan0598

    A tip that I use for meal planning is to go through what I have and make a four-week menu taking into consideration that some busy nights will have to be easy meals. I personally like this because some nights get turned into leftover nights meaning I will still have meals left over in case I can't get to the store right away. By having different levels of effort meals I can also easily move certain items around when needed. This plan also makes it so that if I have a day where I can prep freezer meals I already know what to make. Having the meals also helps me remember what ingredients I have. So if I have lasagna on the menu and I decide I don't want to make it I can instead use the same ingredients to make baked ziti just changing the noodle shape. I like to have around two complicated meals a week so that i can still make something fun to cook when im inspired.

    I think you’re going to be getting me on another Dutch Baby kick soon! We love doing savory Dutch Babies - before it is fully cooked, we throw a bunch of thinly sliced veggies on top along with some cheese and let that all warm up while it finishes baking…you can also just let it fully cook and put sautéed veggies and cheese on top fresh out of the oven!

    You can caramelize onions in the crockpot in a liquid (I’ve used balsamic vinegar, wine, or beer) and then freeze dry them to use in recipes

    Cook the sauce. Either in the grill on a pan that can take the heat or on the stove and then you can eat the sauce. You can add more to the chicken at the end and use it on the rice.

    I’ve been experimenting with a bunch of your freezer meal recently! Our favorites so far are lemon smash chicken(number 1 by FAR), cranberry Catalina chicken, and the pumpkin sausage pasta bake. Thank you so much for your excellent recipe resource!! I’ve been having so much fun trying out new things😄 I’ve also made a couple of my recipes into freezer meals too. I’ve done butter chicken and creamy turkey red enchiladas. Epic. Absolutely epic!! If I may say so it has been life changing for my husband and me. I struggle with being able to cook every night so this has been great to rely on instead of takeout. And the meals are so much more satisfying and we can control the ratios of veggie, carb, and protein.

    I began canning last year. I have made caramelized onions many times using the slow cooker, then canned them. So convenient when you only need a small amount. That 1870's Homestead RUclips channel has a video from one year ago--discussing caramelized onions and onion jam.
