    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 😊

    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!

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!

    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.

    It’s very tempting to eat everything that I make and of course I have to taste it to make sure that it’s seasoned properly, but I try just to take a small taste so that I don’t start packing the pounds on. I love to cook and it’s such a problem trying not to overheat the food. I never understand some of these chefs that stay skinny. But as I get older, I know it’s a huge problem to get the weight back off. In fact, it stops me from cooking sometimes because I know I’m just going to eat what I cook.

    Becky I love all your recipes. You make everything look easy. I just got done making your mozzarella, I've made the pasties you made with your mother in-law. I had no idea she had her own RUclips channel, he said she shed, of course I subscribed 😁
    I grew up in Minnesota in Rosemount, Northfield, Bloomington and my mom made pasties but this was my first time making them. Thank you and your mother in-law for inspiring me. They turned out not half bad

    Beck, I just wanted to say I enjoy your videos so much! 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 ❤

    Try the rolled lasagna. It is perfect for large dinners. It's already in serving size. Made it for the first time 48 years ago. I

    You can add water to half-and-half to make it milk.

    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!

    I LOVE lasagna with bechamel, that's the way they do it in Ireland and when we had it there we were hooked so we found a really nice recipe we have done a few times. nothing as fancy as homemade pasta but it's still SO SO good.

    Did I miss the recipe for the focaccia bread? I don't see it in the description box. It was in this video, right? I've watched a lot of your videos today, so I might be confused! 😂😂

    Becky, in a pinch you can also cut noodles with a pizza cutter and a designated ruler if you desire perfection. I used to sell kitchen aids for a living for 10 years, and they are amazing help. We all have cut ours before attachments came around with a pizza cutter. Thank you for the beautiful videos you do. Its lovely how your just yourself. Makes all the difference in the world. Theres not a cook who hasnt experienced something not working well. The adapt and recover methods are good to know. Know that you are appreciated!! Have a great Holiday!!!

I will be making that....some like yours and some with pistachio nuts....and the focaccia....I love it....Looking forward to 2024 and lots of new videos ! Thank you for devoting time to all of us....I know that everyone appreciates it. Happy New Year !

    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!

    Becky! You need the kitchenaid fresh prep slicer/shredder. It makes shredding cheese so easy and it’s easier to clean than the food processor.
    Also, you should have T-shirts made! The front could say “hello, friend!” And the back could say “Thank you for being you” ❤

    I did this with garlic after I saw you do it the first time. I will never use garlic any other way! I also made your 1 hour dinner rolls on Christmas. My entire family told me I have to make them from now on. Thanks for all the inspiration.

    Becky, I just want to thank you for your videos. At the start of 2023 i was recovering from back surgery and complications from that surgery. I could not stand without a walker. Your videos inspired ne to want to get well and get in the kitchen again. I have canned strawberry jam, the meals in a jar, beans, and vegetable beef soup. I have also been working in stocking my freezer. Thank you for being such an inspiring person. Happy New Year!🪅🍾💖
