I worked in a major grocery store for 23 years and those dates on products are "store dates " only..so as long as the vacuum seal isn't busted that cheese will still stay fresh a long time past the "store date " .all dates on products are "store dates " not home dates ..
Looking behind you through your kitchen window is a beautiful breathtaking view! You and Josh are truly blessed to live and thrive on such a wonderful homestead! Blessings for you and your family for many years to come. 🙏❤️
I marvel at that view every time too! Can you imagine how peaceful and quiet it would be to sit outside and sip morning coffee?!! Ahhhhh….
Aw thanks so much!
I was thinking the same thing. Looking over that valley is stunning.
If there is anything ever you want to know just ask me. Ihave been canning for 60 years in an age when it was not to popular. I am also a qualified chef. Be healthy and happy which makes all things good.
I had my husband install a dumb waiter so that I could easily move bulk stuff from the kitchen to the cold room/pantry in the basement as well to move firewood to our second story easily (we have a small wood stove in our bedroom upstairs. That thing is AMAZING.
Wow that would be incredible!!!!
Brilliant!
Life goals. Wish my son would put one in for me when I visit to take my bags upstairs. 😂
One of my favorite salads. Orzo, feta, olive oil, red onion, green bell pepper, olives, grape tomatoes, cucumber, granulated garlic, salt and w/e seasonings you desire. Yummo. Great in the summer but we eat it all year round.
That sounds amazing and so refreshing
Yesssss
I’m one of those babies who hates salads unless it’s pasta salad, and this recipe sounds amazing to try.
Becky, I don't know if you will read this. I had to leave my home for reasons after having been married for years...Life sometimes throws us curveballs. Your videos soothe me.
Thank you!
Bright blessings to you. I hope things turn out ok. 🙏
Bright blessings to you. I hope things turn out ok. 🙏
🙏🏽
That view out your kitchen window is magnificent
Aw thanks so much!
I was noticing that too. Amazing view.
My girls are finally laying for me and with 21 hens, I’m overflowing with fresh eggs! Besides what we eat fresh, I also supply our mom , give some to the neighbor who helped build the hen house and still have enough to start selling come January. Plus freezer egg muffins, breakfast burritos, quiches, etc.
I researched different breeds and happily chose 3 breeds that are the most docile, friendly and good layers. Oh and I named my beautiful rooster Elvis 😂❤
Maple producer here... U can buy a gal and reheat it to 180 and put in canning jars or u can freeze it. If it ever molds skim it off and reheat it as well
Maple syrup doesn't have to be kept in the fridge.
Becky. Buy the gallon of maple syrup! I live in NY in the heart of maple syrup country. It can be frozen in smaller amounts if you don’t want to keep a gallon container in your fridge. I freeze mine in quart mason jars. It lasts forever (which isn’t too long in my house) and it doesn’t change the flavor at all.
Becky!!!! You're the best! I can't wait to catch up on your videos, as we FINALLY have bought a house(we close tomorrow). I'll have a huge kitchen and a garden and I simply cannot wait to see if my garden will grow at least half as well as yours! Keep being your amazing, inspirational self!
Lots of love from NC❤
Congratulations on your new home 🏡 🎉
@christinem.alwaysbelieve Thank you! It's been a long time coming!
Congratulations on your new home!
@@margaretnorman4376 you are very welcome. Blessings
Congratulations on your new home ❤
I got the gallon maple syrup from Azure and I poured it into some quart jars, leaving about 1.5-2” of headspace and then froze them. And I keep one in the fridge. 😊
Brilliant!
I love when you do your Azure hauls because I am a recent customer and don't know very much about them yet. As a sidenote, cheese generally freezes very well. 😊
That view you have from your kitchen window is stunning it looks like a painting! Beautiful Becky! Love watching your channel!
Hi Becky, when you decide to add to your chicken flock please get some chickens that lay different color eggs. That would be a beautiful addition to your white eggs and so lovely in your kitchen videos. 🤗♥️
I will be getting an electric pressure cooker for Christmas and I’ve been stocking up on my jars. I can’t wait to garden and can for the 1st time next year! It’s all thanks to you!
10/10 recommend Orzo. Beautiful product. Just discovered it. I cook for my elderly mother and she can't handle a lot food anymore. Orzo is very easy on the stomach and very versatile.
Thanks for the info. It’s been on my list to try forever!
love seeing all the goodies cant wait to get to cooking day , And baby Acre's first bday is coming up to happy 1st birthday little one xxx
I get my maple syrup from the farm, right off the tap during Sugaring season. I take a dozen quart jars and lids. They will fill the jars vs using one of their jugs. It is shelf stable for years when canned.
It's nice that you thought of your mother when placing your order at Azure.
Pure maple syrup can be put in smaller jars & processed for long-term pantry storage. I usually get just over 8 pint jars per gallon bought. I use a lot.
Dear Becky. I am a registered nurse working in a heart hospital and watching your videos I'm concerned about your shortness of breath when talking. Please consider making an appointment with a cardiologist to check this out! Your friend!
Could be asthma also.
this reminds me of tarek el mouse who had that RN advise him of getting a lump in his neck checked out. so thankful for medical providers. your knowledge is priceless. ❤️
There was a nurse that came into my husband’s Chiropractic office as a new patient. She casually mentioned to one of our Doctors that he should have a spot on his forehead checked out. He did & it was Melanoma! And it wasn’t just that one spot. So grateful to her for her concern & keen eye💕
Great advice. I have the same shortness of breath when speaking for even a short amount of time. Turns out I developed a murmur due to increased blood volume from my multiple pregnancies (6). It’s totally benign but still annoying as heck.
Maybe low iron from postpartum.
Thank you for sharing and being helpful in recipes it is a blessing to me! My Mom was disabled and I had to learn everything the hard way. Thank you or you RUclips sharing. I did get some recipes before my Mom passed. I do miss her, I enjoy watching you and your parents. Take care friend 😊
Hi Becky, hi friends! Checking if there's a new upload and there is! Happy Wednesday Becky!
I know I'm late to the game, but you should try coconut oil masks once a week! I scoop it out of the jar and later it onto my dry hair, alllllllll over! You can put your hair up in a clip or leave it down while wearing a t-shirt you don't care about. I like to leave it in overnight and just lay something down on my pillow. Wash it out the next morning. Coconut oil is really good for your hair.
Nice Azure haul Becky! I miss seeing your girls on your porch like we used to at your former home. I know they make a mess and I totally get why they can’t be doing that but I would love to see them now and then in your videos - just a little clip - so they can say hi to your friends. 😀
We drink 2 pound ( 1 kilo coffe a week ( norweigians drink a lot of Coffee a year) i too like a medium roast - and all black
Can’t wait for holiday baking ideas, I’ve decided this year 95% of our Christmas gifts will be homemade, starting with hot chocolate bombs, cake pops and garlic jelly with fresh buns! Hoping everything turns out good!
Wow I love that!
What is a chocolate bomb? I've not heard that term before. Have a wonderful day, Debbie 😊
@@robertlavigne6560chocolate bombs are made for making hot cocoa. You make two half circles of melted chocolate by painting the chocolate into a half round mold and letting it get hard, then filling it with hot chocolate mix, marshmallows, whatever mix ins. Then you heat the edge of chocolate and put the "lid" on which makes a perfect circle.
It's fine, and gets easier the more you do it, but you do need a half ball shaped mold
@@juliabrown5948that bomb sounds realy nice and makes a great gift, I am sure. 👍
I'm doing cowboy candy for the first time and sewing grocery tote bags for some gifts. Becky can always get me motivated to be brave and step outside my comfort zone. ❤
If you ever have time, Amish country in and around Ohio and New Wilmington PA is a definite visit with your interests!!
You keep stocked up with food for your family and your chickens. Nice job Becky! 😊❤
When I run completely out I fix my own two cups of organic sugar one cup of water and two teaspoons of maple flavoring cook it on the stove till it comes to a rolling boil and then shut your burner off it's not the same but it's something when you don't have anything
Orzo also works nicely in Jambalaya instead of rice if you want a change. Fabulous haul! Nothing beats a grocery video! Thank you for the video!
Im going to try that 👍🏽
@@simplydavis1658 👍
Becky if you buy things more than you need always remember that you can use your food savor to keep it fresh until you need the rest of it.
Something I like to do to save time is to make all my Christmas cookie dough and freeze it in balls in a cookie sheet, then pop them off and put them in the freezer to bake later before I make goodie platters to deliver. That way I can take the stress off making them and do it in November or even October and save my sanity during to holidays.
I started doing this this year. I really like having cookie dough ready in the freezer.
As a person who used to produce maple syrup, I buy it now in gallons size. I can it in jars,one half and one pint size then can it for ten minutes and they are good for over a year.
Wow, that is awesome to know. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Do you water bath can it or pressure can it? Thanks.
Water bath can it for ten minutes. It can stay for almost forever if you can keep it that long. We use it in everything.
@@annemariecollard723 yay! I was hoping it was water bath, lol. Thanks for the information. Have a great day.
If you buy a massive amount of maple syrup, try dividing into smaller containers and freezing 😊
I wish we could get Azure here, their products look amazing. Does baby like the freeze dried snacks too or is he too young to eat them yet? It’s been so long since I had babies, I can’t remember at what age they start snacking hahaha but I would imagine freeze dried fruits would be a safe food to eat. That is such a nice thing to do for your mom, buying and preparing the berries for her, I’m sure she’ll be over the moon with that gift. Have a wonderful day!
Becky try molasses butter on your pancakes and waffles. So good! Just mash the butter and molasses together right before topping..
Becky the eggs you get from your girls must be super nutritious with that feed you give them and all the veggie scraps!!
Thanks for sharing the haul. Sometimes it's so much better to buy in bulk so a person doesn't have to go to the grocery store as much. My Mom did this for years.
Oh...while I'm talking about bulk buying...I was wondering if you have a back up generator for the freezers? Or for the house?
I don’t think we’d recognize you with your hair down. 😁It looks like you have great texture! Was raised with applesauce on my pancakes 😋😋😋. Cooking orzo with chicken broth is an ideal side with small children in the home too. For my babies I would add very finely diced chicken pieces.
Becky I've recently rediscovered your channel. I've been on life support twice in the past 2 years and I forget a lot of what I used to watch every time. Lol. I want you to know that if I had it all to do over again I would homestead exactly the way you do. Unfortunately, at my age - I'm 60yo today actually - I don't have it physically in me to do it all but you do inspire me to try to do some kind of vegetable growing next year. A young friend and I are planning to do some gardening next year. I also get to pass on all that I learn from you to my grandchildren. Thank you so much. You have an amazing channel. You're a very talented teacher! Btw, just for s**ts and giggles, if you'd like to give an old lady a little birthday gift, I'm so curious about your beautiful hair and would love to see it down one day! Thank you for all that you do. You are a beautiful person inside and out.
Maple syrup can be frozen so you can put a smaller bottle in the fridge. Put vacuum sealed bags in freezer.
you can use the gallon maple syrup to refill the smaller syrup bottle as well❤
I'm excited to see the Christmas projects this year. I always bake my families traditional cookies. I haven't made candy in years. Truffles sound amazing.
Wanted to share info about white chocolate. Always taste your older white chocolate before combining with new. White/milk chocolate has higher milk content and will go bad faster than dark chocolate. It can taste a bit rancid. FYI
I keep all my chocolate chips in my freezer! All the kinds. It just seems to work better for me this way and I know that my family won’t be so tempted to eat them out of the bag!!
You can freeze maple syrup....it really doesn't freeze, just gets thick. You can just pour some into a different container if you'd like some in your fridge.
Yes. Becky I understand that the cost of everything has gone up so much it's ridiculous, In December I won't be buying any groceries at all we don't need a thing eighter, thank heaven, We are just going to relaxing and enjoying the coming holiday's, so glad to see your post I couldn't find anything to watch you made my afternoon ,
I love that plan! thanks so much for watching!
If you are on a septic system you should not use powdered cleaning products. They will turn back into powder in your tank , therefore clogging up the system.
You’re so sweet to think of your mom❤
I recently watched the video where you tripled a batch of pull apart bread. I am sure someone else pointed this out but I was watching on my tv and could not check the comments. I just wanted to mention that one should not double or triple the yeast when doubling or tripling a bread recipe. I learned this a long time ago when I doubles a recipe in my bread machine…blew the top right off, well almost. Lol When I double a recipe, I add less than one quarter of additional yeast. When tripling, I add an additional half or less of the original amount of yeast. Hope this is helpful. I really enjoy your videos.
Dear Becky
You are so lucky to have your sweet fans to be so concerned about your health.
We love your videos,thanks so much for sharing this video with us all. God bless you n plz take care yourself for us all.🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
So looking forward to watching your baking video's for the upcoming Christmas season! Love watching ...
Take the maple syrup pour into the stock pot bring to a boil and then put in canning jars with lid tighten and they will be shelf stable forever
For refilling powder products you can use a stiff flexible cutting board so it can hold up but also flex to allow you to put the old back into the container with minimal waste
You can buy gallon maple syrup and can in jars
Oh no, Becky! I must have missed something in your videos. About six months ago, I was certain you had 9 chickens, but in this video you said six. I haven't missed a video between unless it was on a different platform. Hope all is well with your girls! Your Azure haul looks wonderful. There are always avenues online to order maple syrup - My mom always gets hers from a farm in Vermont or Maine (sorry - I don't remember which) but their shipping and cost has always been very reasonable.
Sadly, we had Three pass over the last 6 months due to old age. They are over four years old.
I forgot to cmplete my order, so now its going to be for january! Blessings!
Since you have a freeze dryer, have you tried freeze drying syrup? I haven't done it myself, but saw that it can be done.
I love watching your videos, very inspiring to keep my pantry and kitchen stocked.
I’m not sure if you’ve tried it, but I have frozen all kinds of cheese for over a year. I’m new to your channel and I’m enjoying it very much.
You can freeze maple syrup in mason jars. Great haul! 🙂
Cheese freezes fine we grate and freeze when we have bulk. Orzo salad yum! Fresh mint, beetroot tinned/pickled, peas, feta cheese, lemon juice and olive oil serve chilled Devine.
I just was looking at Azure when I saw your video. I never heard of them before.
You bought a gallon of rice vinegar and keep a small bottle of it on hand. Could have done the same with the maple syrup. Buy the gallon of the syrup and keep a smaller container on hand and keep the rest in your other fridge.
Just made your Pumpkin Italian Sausage Pasta. We loved it. My husband claims he doesn’t like pumpkin, but when he started eating, I told him it had pumpkin in it. He is now a believer. He loved it! Thanks for sharing your recipes.
I just signed up with Azure-super excited to try their flours! I can’t find bread flour any bigger than 5# here! Added bonus-they’re an Oregon company!
Thank you for this video! it has helped me allot with starting my homestead journey!
How about buying one gallon of maple syrup and pouring it into a smaller container of your choice? I was born in Vermont and we couldn’t go without our maple syrup! 😀❤️
I have just started using powder and not the plastic pods because I’m pretty sure the plastic was leaving a film all over my dishwasher (and likely also on my dishes!!). The first run w the powder already looked better. I’m never going back to throwing a “melting” plastic in my dishwasher.
Me too! It comes in thing with a pouring spout. Super easy and I wonder why I ever used the stuff covered in plastic...
Olds the rules says to wash the glass containers before stocking again. Overtime humidity can build and organic matters grow. Consider Refreshing your glass bottles l, drying them with a towel or air dry, specially to preserve.
Thank you! I was animately saying “wash those first!” over and over. There are natural oils in things as well, and oils go rancid. By not washing out the jars one runs the risk of contaminating, and ruining, their new stock
Also, freezing chocolate chips makes them last 10x longer. Same with coffee. We put store bought coffee grounds into a freezer safe air tight container with two cut open vanilla beans and scoop directly into the coffee basket.
Get a gallon of syrup. There is a way to reprocess it into quart jars and then you can have it for the year as a shelf stable staple
You can freeze maple syrup. My local maple syrup producer told me to freeze and just let thaw for a few minutes on counter before pour off what I need. Put the rest back in freezer. The real stuff never goes bad, if too gets mold just scrape it off the reboil.
That’s a great idea to buy your dishwasher cleaner in the book powder. Once your little man starts running around it will be a lot easier for you to keep it up out of his reach a safe.
I’m so looking forward to Pantry Challenge 2024! Can’t wait to see what you come up with
I just love learning from you you're such a do it yourself girl😅l can learn by watching. Sometimes it's fun .your mom has showed you so much.
Trader Joes has 32oz dark maple syrup jugs and they are $12.99 I believe! I also like the dark maple syrup, the Costco stuff is too sweet for me.
TJ’s FTW! I love their dark, used to called grade B, maple syrup
Wow that is an amazing price!
Becky, I just wanted to mention that Costco does ship. Not necessarily for right now, but it might be helpful in the future. I looked because I couldn't remember, free shipping comes with $80 spent. I know that I can't remember the last time I got out of there for less than that. 😂
Be sure to let us know what you think of the dishwasher detergent:)
I’ve been using these dish pods and have no complaints, for what it’s worth! 😊
Very interested! I bought Blueland, and found it doesn’t get every thing clean. I use a sourdough starter A LOT so I have a flour film on a lot of my glass bowls-Cascade gets it off, Blueland doesn’t. I know your only supposed to wipe off and get chunks off dishes so idk!
One needs to pre rinse the dishes for the natural stuff to work in my experience
Love your videos. Made 3 meatloaves. 3 spinach ravioli casseroles. And, ordered my wood lids for my spice jars. Thank you Becky friend
That is amaizng!
The scene out the windows is to use for ♥
I love it when you post new videos 🤗. Just my thoughts on the dishwasher pods, I also have well water and try to use natural cleaners but have found they do not work well with my hard water (the only things that work for me are Dawn and Finish)….so don’t feel bad about your Cascade pods if you have to use them. You do so much to be eco friendly but it’s ok to choose clean dishes too 😊
I love Rigatoni and Orzo. Orzo is so useful and versatile in pasta dishes,stews, soups etc.
I use ditalini or stelline as not spotted orzo last few times shopping.
Add a can of red beans and a little smoked cheese to the risotto style orzo friend! I serve this as a side dish with roast chicken! The powder Azure dish detergent is great as well!
I love that vinegar! But my new fav is the white wine vinegar...omg so good.
Girl, I haven't watched you in months...you are enjoying those dishes you're making :)
Costco Online will deliver to your door.
You can decant the maple syrup and freeze what you don’t need.
Yes, orzo risotto substitute. Cooked with chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic and Parmesan cheese!
I’d love to use Azure, I get their flyers but my schedule is not really flexible and I’ve never been able to get a straight answer on where and when pickup is. 🤷🏼♀️
Our favorite coffee is a organic, fair trade, micro batch roasted from a small family business in Missouri- Sheperds Crook Coffee
I got the gallon from Azure. I fill a smaller bottle for the fridge, but the gallons it’s in my food storage room with no issues. I love having the gallon.
Check Greek recipes, they cook a lot with orzo.. licking fingers good food. We try to visit Greece (Kos) 2x a year, we always eat the dishes with orzo!
My mother-in-law always buys a gallon of syrup and then cans it into quart jars so that it can be shelf stable and not stored at all in the fridge
For the syrup, just do the same thing you did with the vinegar. Decant it into a swing top bottle and keep the large bottle in the outside fridge.
Bulk maple syrup is easy to can in smaller jars. Just bring it to a boil and pour into sterile jars, put on a canning lid, screw on the metal band, invert the jars and let cool. Cheaper too. In a former life I used to have a sugar bush and tapped over a 1,000 trees.
Hi!! Im new to you and I am learning lots. 55 yrs old and never too late to start this, which I am lol...
My husband and I have just visited Washington from the day before Thanksgiving until yesterday on Nov, 28th. We’re heading back home now and we’ve made it to Nebraska so far. Lacey Washington is where we were at. Your state is beautiful . It’s very different from our State of Georgia.
Maple syrup is a staple in our house! We use it in our coffee and tea, oatmeal, and i often use it instead of sugar when baking. I prefer it to honey. I order some things from azure, i hope some day i can make a big order like this!
.
I wish we could get organic foods as easy and as cheaply as you guys do here in the U.K.
The blue mountains in your window view is simply & wonderfully out of this world ~ what dreams are made of. Lucky you, lucky us! My 3 year old granddaughter (and myself) love to watch you! Yes, She’s 3! Becky, thank you. You are just, also, out of this world !
I’m going to be making breakfast burritos this weekend. I bought everything yesterday for them.
