    I know this will just get lost in the sea of comments but,, I'm a teenage girl and I have autism so I constantly feel like an inconvenience to my family. but your videos have taught me so much, and I've been inspired to do things like dry parsley from my little herb garden & turn it into parsley powder (which people have been using!!) or bake fresh bread! your videos inspire me to be more self sufficient. I have becomr interested in things like canning and preserving and I've loved plants & gardened for years but this year is the first time I'm trying to grow tomatoes from seedlings. they're getting so big 🌱
    plus, these videos are just such a comfort. they're really nice to watch when I'm overwhelmbed. so thank you :-)

    Hey Becky - Just wanted to comment on the 'extra' cinnamon sugar you transferred into a mason jar for future use, and then put in an unrefrigerated drawer. Given you used it to roll raw cookie dough balls in I just thought it prudent to mention the cross contamination (raw egg, uncooked wet flour, etc.) that has now been in contact with the whole batch of cinnamon sugar.
    I often have left over cinnamon sugar when I make chocolate ginger cookies or snickerdoodles and as someone who doesn't like to waste ingredients, I will take the extra and store it in the freezer, as a way for me to be able to use it safely on the next batch of cookies.
    Know I mention this not as a criticism but just for your safety. =)

      Just a couple of days ago I clicked on a link things it was a Acre Homestead video. It was not, and the whole concept was ignorant and petty. As I pointed out to the poster, I will never understand why folks want to spend their time and energy hating, tearing ppl down, and criticizing. All over extremely small petty things. That is certainly not what Becky does. Becky stays in her lane. She "lives" life. She walks the walk, and shares what she loves with the rest of us. She has blessed me in so many ways., and I am ever so grateful. Hopefully our appreciation and our voices of thanks will drown out the negative. Hugs

      There are forums that like to tear down all the RUclipsrs I watch. All stems from jealousy and a little bit of Karen’s. Same girls that are bullies in real life. They have no self worth and get a kick out of tearing others down. Becky and the others can laugh all the way to the bank. I enjoy her videos and I don’t really watch to recreate anything people do in their videos. I just find these videos relaxing. Sometimes they give inspiration to try something new, but mostly because there is nothing decent on TV.

      I'd love to see homemade treats for them! My dogs love carrots, peppers, broccoli, green beans and spinach. They love getting a taste too when we are cooking. They get to eat what we are eating which is mostly vegetables since we don't usually eat meat. They get their dry dog food with a sampling of what we had on top. Our dogs over the years have even enjoyed salads which upset my husband's grandmother! She told everyone that my dogs ate salad. My aunt always had dachshunds and was told to get them to eat salads and vegetables for their joints. My current dogs do not like salad or tomatoes and will pick them out of everything.

    If you have a banana, put it in a brown paper bag along with your avocado, close the bag and leave it overnight. The time it takes to ripen depends on how underripe your avocado is. The ethylene gas produced by the banana is trapped in the bag and speeds up the ripening of other fruit.

    KITCHEN TIP: Save citrus rinds and run them through your garbage disposal. The citrus juice and oils will cut through and loosen all the gunk in your disposal. You will have a citrus scented kitchen and a clean disposal! BTW, the citrus rinds will help sharpen your disposal blades. You can also use the citrus rinds with white vinegar to make your own spray cleaner. Just soak the citrus rinds in the vinegar for two weeks or more, strain and add half mixture and half water to to a spray bottle.

    Big no no on storing the excess cinnamon sugar after rolling the cookies in it.
    Raw eggs where in the cookies touching all the sugar and cinnamon.
    Cross contamination could cause you to become very ill with future use.😝

    As long as you wash it well, you don't really have to peel ginger if you're going to grate it or slice it. The skin is perfectly safe and unnoticeable in any recipe you make.

    Hey Becky! I have been a long time fan & have learned so much from your videos. My confidence in canning, prepping food ahead of time for my future self, and having a growing stock of food for my family have all been life changing. Your videos make me feel like I have a friend to hang out with while my husband is at work, which has been so needed as a stay at home mom. You have inspired me to share my story with others here on RUclips too and it’s already helping me find more community. I couldn’t thank you enough for all that you give to me, it’s so much more than content💛

    Another video with some great tips. I get my Korean chili flakes at one of our local Asian markets in Vancouver. They have tons of interesting flavors, noodles and vegies to use in your cooking. I make lots of Kim Chi and use their Thai basil in salads and pesto. I really recommend exploring ethnic markets -- middle eastern, Ukrainian and Hispanic. One of the perks of living in a diverse community.

    Everything looks fabulous! I also love that you gave the tip about not using your knife to keep it from getting dull. You also said in another video about wiping off your knife after honing so as not to get shavings in the food. All of this information is really good for new cooks as well as reminders to those of us that have cooked for awhile. Always teaching. And I see that you also have a Cutco knife. I bought a set when I was 21 and they are still going strong and I'm 70!

Not only cleans, seasons, and adds great flavor! Yummm

    Hi Becky. I keep my fresh raw ginger whole in freezer. Then when I want some I just micro plane as mush as I want. It grates up just fine frozen. Pop the rest back in freezer for next time. If you have thick skin or particularly don’t want any skin bits. Just peel before you freeze it. 🌸

    I do cinnamon sugar using brown sugar instead of white sugar. I do have to put it in my blender and pulse it just a few times because it doesn’t mix easy like white sugar does with the cinnamon. Then I store it in a my spice jar. The brown sugar is a game changer if you love cinnamon sugar!!

    I've heard that if you put your onion in the fridge just long enough to get cold that it helps with the tearing up. I'm going to try that.

    Becky I learned to make ginger paste in bulk and freeze as you do the garlic pucks. I also make garlic, ginger, onion paste. YT the subject to get the Indian cooking shows how to make the pastes. Game changer for all sorts of meals. Generally I stuck to garlic ginger paste and add my onions cause I enjoy texture of chopped or slice onion.

    Hey Becky, I love watching you in your kitchen... you're such an inspiration to so many, including me! One tip I want to pass along from my chef sister, is that whenever you use mayo, always wipe down the very top of the bowl to the start of the salad because it's so thin on the side, it can spoil very easy. I just take a wet cloth or papertowel, and run it around the top; looks nicer too. Love from Ontario Canada

    One of my favorite variations of Cinnamon Rolls: Use Clove and Ginger instead of Cinnamon, and instead of an icing topping, I just use Honey as a glaze. It gives that seasonal spice and sweet and they are delicious! I am not allergic to Cinnamon, but I made this one time when I was out of Cinnamon and became my favorite way to make them since.
