    Becky you deserve every single Blessing you have received. I’ve watched you grow as a content creator from that very first video in your previous kitchen where you said let’s see how this goes! You have worked so very very hard as a professional, as a loving wife for your husband and as a mother. Well done sweetie! Here’s to 2024 and more adventures 😊

      I have to be very careful when watching Becky’s videos. Her energy is catching! I find myself going like a steam engine, only to run out of steam earlier than I planned!! lololol I have to remember that I am in my 70’s now and my energy doesn’t last like it did when I was in my 30’s!! 😂OH, Me! Well, I did get a lot done, cooking wise!! Hubby was so happy and surprised to get a new recipe for dinner that night! Plus dessert! Becky’s energy is catching, but now I have to make sure I reasonably assess my energy, so I don’t give out in the middle of a new recipe! I love watching her, when it comes to cooking, she is wholly entertaining and I always learn more than I knew when I started watching! I love watching Becky’s videos! ALL of them! 🥰😋

    My 4 year old son and I love watching your videos! I guess I didn't realize how much he paid attention until this video when he started reacting. First, he shouted, "Tibro is thirsty! Or maybe it's Orbit? I'm not sure which one." Then, when you talked about if things didn't work out, you can always order a pizza, he nodded yes and said, "That's a great plan Becky. Everybody loves pizza." And the best part, when you cut into the focaccia and talked about the crumb, he was literally yelling at the screen, "but what about the taste test, Becky? Taste test!" 😂 We're excited to rewatch tomorrow so we can follow along to make our own focaccia!

The French use béchamel but his Italian grandmother always used ricotta and he was thrilled! Your menu looked amazing and I’m sure everyone had a very happy new year!

    I just got a pasta attachment for my Kitchenaid since I can’t find my pasta maker from when we moved six months ago. Now I’m inspired to use it!!! I love your videos!! And whoever created flat parchment sheets was a genius! I’m a huge fan and user of parchment paper! I’m a retired elementary school teacher and am loving cooking and crafting on my own time. When my three adult kids were growing up, I stayed home with them and didn’t start teaching until I was 47 because they were my priority. I canned and froze most of my produce from my garden. I’m hoping to grow some veggies this spring and summer and preserve it. Keep up the good content!

    That was so enjoyable and relaxing to watch after a really tough day at the office. I want to go to dinner at Becky's house! 🤣😂 Seriously though, you have such a gentle and calming voice. That's part of what makes your videos such a pleasure to watch. I only found your channel a couple of months ago, and I've already learned so much. Okay, I've been binge-watching! I now have a set of silicone freezer bags, chopped onions and garlic in the freezer (pie dough is next), and asked and received for Christmas a Danish dough whisk and silicone baking pads. The happiest of new year blessings and wishes, Becky, to you, Josh, and Baby Acre. Hmmm, I guess we'll have to start calling him Toddler Acre pretty soon!

    They say to put your candles in the freezer to make them burn longer. A thicker candle may need 6 to 8 hours while a thin, tapered candle may only need about an hour. 😊❤

    A great tip for serving lasagna is resting it at least a half an hour before serving. So set your sit down dinner arrival time for guests around that half hour rest time. Their taste buds will surely be ready smelling the wonderful lasagna while arriving and by the time everyone arrives and greetings are done.....time to serve the star of the show.....the lasagna! 😊❤

    I wish you’d crack eggs on a paper towel so there’s no raw eggs on your counter…& have a trash bowl for the shells. I think so much about contamination, etc.

    Alcohol doesn't completely cook off, it has been proved in lab tests. So it is nice that you let people know if they don't want to use it they don't have too. I am allergic to alcohol so I don't use it at all.

    Becky, I truly enjoy watching and learning with you on your beautiful homestead.
    I wanted to share something important with you- to remember the importance of slowing down and taking advantage of the smaller tasks like: watching the butter melt or the noodles boil.
    I enjoy times like these to work on mindfulness and to help quiet the mind.
    Thank you for another inspiring video! 💜🌈✌️☯️🌎🌟🌹👩‍🚀

I am older now, but I used to spend most of my days in the kitchen cooking,baking,canning and freezing all of our homegrown vegetables and fruits. It was my favorite room! When we built our house, I told my husband I wanted a big kitchen ❤

    EMERGENCY MAYBE!! Becky, I notice in this video your KitchenAid motor and base - the silver screw thing that connects them is jutting WAY OUT on the lock side!! We hammer ours back in when vibration from using it rattles the screw loose. I don’t want you to have an accident if the motor head falls off the base!! Yikes!

    So out of curiosity, does your generation not put knives and spoons on the table setting any longer? I am only saying that because you are having a dessert that requires a spoon and some people use knives when eating lasagna.
