Would love to see you do a "canning 101" series!
You called yourself a "rebel" because you can your beans as is. Is there a benefit to canning them without cooking them or is it to just get them preserved? I'm currently not a canner. I'm just watching and learning for now.
Wow this was a super fun video. I should be sleeyat 3:30am but you kept me up lol and it was all worth it. I wished I was hour neighbor😂. Good job.
Its beautiful under snow there
I'm proud of you ❤️
Do you have to wash eggs with anything special or can you you just rinse off and use?
There should be a little white board sticker on the stackable containers lid
This is not a criticism but I would find a darker location for your seeds. In a closet, under a bed or even in that room, just not by the gap in the curtain that allows light on that part of the shelf. I really enjoy your journey and excitement in learning. You go for it and fully commit and I respect that very much.
Would love to know what you learned about the broth mishap!
Ball canning make a pectin that you can use only 1 cup of sugar per recipe. I buy mine off Amazon. I don’t taste the difference in using less sugar. I am diabetic so this is a great option for me.
Becky instead of using the one piece regulator for you Presto canner- you might look at the 3 piece regulator. You don’t use the dial at all- you just watch or listen for the gentle rocking motion. It comes with 5#,10# and 15# weights. Also you won’t have to get your canner gauge calibrated every year. Love your
Channel.

Can you answer a few questions? I was told I can’t pressure can on my glasstop stove but you did. Was I told incorrectly? We’re your plums peeled? Did you not have to soak your lids ?Love your energy. I just found you and I am in awe.
I have been making jams with honey instead of sugar & using chia seeds to thicken. Only small batches & I just refridgerate them. I usually add lemon juice & cinnamon. I grew up making jam with my Mum & the ratio was 1 cup of fruit & 1 cup sugar. I now have pretty much eliminated sugar from my diet. Love your videos & your energy!
Such a satisfying video.
The snow was a big surprise, neighbor. My peas survived, but we haven't planted much yet. Love your energy! 😁
I have really good luck with Ms Wage low sugar pectin setting! I find it on Amazon!
Do you just work out of your home now? No more dental assistant? Just wondering.
I wonder if that pumpkin was cross pollinated with a spaghetti squash?
also please never explain yourself, if people judge their just not nice people. the rest of us live normal lives and have messy pantries!
A great video! My in-laws live in Vancouver so it’s fun to see your current videos that encapsulate the weather 🤗. The way you deliver your daily routine is infectious and inspiring. I was way more productive on my last day off seeing how much you get done in a day, so thank you 😊.
Girl, you put in a DAY'S work!!!!!!! I could hardly keep up with you!!!!!!!! That pumpkin bread looked so good. I've heard that giving pumpkin seeds to chickens is a natural wormer, but I do not know if that true, just heard it!!! Worth checking into though!!!!!! I wonder if the natural drying of the big pumpkins caused them to become stringy on the inside???? I've never tried to store them like that!!!!!! At any rate, my hat is off to you for all you did in one day! WOW!!!!!!! Oh, btw, I don't know what would cause you cast iron pot to make your broth taste metalic like that. Never heard of that happening before. Let us know what you find out!!!
Are you ADHD…..LOL slowwwww dowwwwwn you've had an amazing production day !!
I need to try that Mac n cheese recipe! That seems like an easy weeknight side dish
When I grow up I want to be you..🥰
Where do you get the containers in your pantry for your sugar and flour?
Your winter wonderland is beautiful. I'm wondering if your onion starts will be okay?
I just made the instant pot mac and cheese, my Fiance and I LOVED IT!!! Our new fav!

I learn so much from you!! Love everything… so thank you. I am such a novice newbie gardener and following along to learn. Question. Where do you get your black bean seeds to start yours?
Have you done any clips on homemade laundry detergent or shampoo?
If you're rinsing off the beans anyway, it might be faster to just dump the beans and chaf in a bowl with some water, and the chafe will float to the top so you can skim it off. The fan method looks great tho
Amazing how you improvise when you had to switch gears for dinner!
Also, this year with your plums. I halve them, add them to a pan, add mulled spices and some sugar until they are all sticky. Then I bag those up for the freezer. Absolutely amazing on porridge in winter ❄️
Girrrllll. You are a superwoman!
How many plants did you grow to get that many black beans? I am going to be growing black turtle beans but I don't think that I have that many. Thanks.
Why do you wash eggs? Seams too be an anglo-american habit. It makes no sense as you just destroy the natural coat protecting eggs.
How long can pumpkins last on the shelves? Amazing about the black beans. So when done canning (don't know much about this) the beans are cooked and ready for whenever?
Girl you did a lot for one day. I miss my younger days when like you I got a lot accomplished. I'd get up at 5am with my boys, have breakfast, put something on for dinner and a load of clothes in to wash then head to the garden for the rest of the day unless it was a day the yard needed mowing. Those were the good old days for me.
Absolutely love the fan trick with the black beans!
Visiting daughters in Portland. What a crazy snow we had! Glad it is all gone today! Love knowing your close by, like a friend . But I dont want to be weird, lol.
Hey Becky,
How long did you cook your macaroni for I love Al dente . And ty for everything you teach is.!!! And can you link website for your Korean pepper flakes. Ty ty ty so much….
You just mentioned your dehydrators. I have one arriving today! Can you do some dehydrating videos? Love watching you! You inspire me to get busy!
I wonder if the broom and mop could hang on the wall to the left when you walk into the pantry. It may would be in your way. I need a better place for mine too lol.
Great area for the chickens!! You always get so much accomplished in my opinion. Don't sell yourself short☺
The first thing I thought of was how will u clean those beans. That is absolutely brilliant. That’s one hack I won’t forget.
do the beans soak and grow in size after canning? because they're submerged in water
Would the manual function on the instant pot be low or high pressure on a different brand of pressure cooker? Thanks
Get some pipe lagging and put it round the chickens water pipe it will help stop it freezing. You should NEVER wash freshly laid eggs just wipe clean with a dry cloth by washing them you are washing off the protective coating this coating will allow a longer life of the egg.
I just discovered you live in Vancouver, WA. We just moved from there to SE Idaho this past year. Completely different gardening conditions & learning as fast as possible. I'm blown away by all you accomplish!
