Thank you for all your videos! I have learned many new recipes thanks to you and now I can have my meals better organized. 🙂
Every video you just impress me more with your determination and abilities! Way to go!
Yeah, please don't fret too much over the pyrex freezer worries about shattering. I will certainly try to remember to bring to room temperature before baking though in the future. I have just thawed overnight for a long time with no issues. I'm no authority in the making of the glass, so always be cautious I suppose. God bless you!
You’re going to love the freeze dryer! I just took out three trays of tomatoes and made tomato powder out of them. It smells amazing.
I was very worried about you watching this, I thought you were so stressed… then i realised I was watching at 1.5x speed hahaha
I love bulk cooking. It's only my daughter and I, so a big batch of anything goes a long way when we freeze it in 2 serving sizes. We can get 10 2 serving meals from a big batch of soup or stew.
We freeze our meals in foil containers from the grocery store that are the perfect size for 2 servings.The containers are rectangular, so they stack nicely in our small chest freezer, and I don't have to worry about storing dozens of glass containers (as we live in an apartment and have very little storage space). We heat up the meal in the oven (we don't have a microwave) in the foil container, then the empty containers can be stacked up, and they take up very little room.
Hello! Enjoyed this video, it was a first seeing you. I like and appreciate your speed.
I love that you just make bread and pizza dough "by eye" without a recipe! I need to start practicing. I hate cooking and baking but need to get after it and start eating real and healthy foods. Thanks for the video – I love these freezer meals!
Just came across your channel and I’ve seen 2-3 of your videos. Just subbed. You’re doing an excellent job. Keep up the good work!
Thank you. I was just talking about doing this last night. Now I have more ideas on what to make 😊
ooooh my !!! so excited for you that you got a freeze drier 😀
I grew up with my Mom eyeballing her seasonings all the time but didn't pay much attention to it. When I went out on my own and learned how to cook (I hated cooking when I was younger so as much as my mom tried, I didn't learn the foundations I needed with her) I would portion the seasons according to the recipe and it would always be a hit or miss…I just thought I was a bad cook. As I got older I started eyeballing it and realized everything was just so under seasoned for my taste!! My husband doesn't get it and would question me when he watched me cook (he has learned to keep his comments to himself now 😂). But Becky!! You have confirmed that YOU are the chef in your own kitchen and you need to season to your OWN likings!! Thank you for pumping out these amazing videos, I've binge watched almost all of them since finding you 2 days ago 😅 If it's such a thing to have another human as your soul animal, you are definitely mine 🌱
I would absolutely LOVE to see a compilation video of how you make these recipes each night. You have a couple in your DITL's but it's nice to have the back to back inspiration. 😍
I've just discovered you. Hello!
I really like how you explain what you're doing. It feels like a real cooking show.
You are savage with the spices. Love it
Delighted you save that bacon grease!
There is a utube channel called Living Traditions Homestead that got a freeze dryer about a year ago. They have been usin
g it in and off this past year for thier items, quite a bit this harvest season and August, and put out a 1 year later taste test of some items.
I'm so impressed! You're quite inspiring 🙂
BTW: have you considered adding lentils to your pasta sauce? I love adding them to anything. And lentils or cannellini beans are also great in meatballs instead of breadcrumbs (extra protein and easy to add).
Did you look in the laundry room for the turmeric?
Omg Sweetie!! You absolutely amaze me… Everything looks delicious..I just found your channel and have only watched a few. CAN only say you are absolutely amazing..you should do a cookbook with organizational skills. God bless you in everything you do. Will be watching forever .🥰🥰
I dream of having as many Pyrex dishes as you
Thanks Becky, I can't believe how much food you can prep for just to two of you. I've seen some people using the Pyrex dishes and they have silicon/rubber lids, that would save you using foil to wrap them. Though I suppose thrifted dishes probably don't have them.
I know that 85% home grown feeling.. It's so awesome!
We only get tiny courgettes here to buy in the shops :/ they are enormous
Good👍😊
I’m lost… she talks soooo fast 🤣 I’m exhausted!
Unfortunately my fridge freezer packed up and I lost all my prep food it was awful but always good to do with a back up freezer or just do max 2 weeks prep so not that much of a loss. I now have a new one thank God 🙂
You’re so young but you know so much.. clever girl
Usually, my boyfriend comes home and I say "what's for dinner?" and we cook something together or go buy some take out. The take out nights are best-no dishes to do and leftovers the next day for lunch! Low stress!
It's always awesome when its all from our own hands. Only the last few years at last every salsa ingredient for my 36 quarts annually has been in my garden, its great and I hope we get even more out of them
Hi I just subscribed and I am wondering how many people you feed at each meal?
I have done freezer meals before and love the convenience. I also raise pigs, beef, chicken and more, have a large garden, can, dehydrate & freeze dry. I look forward to seeing more of your utube. I enjoy watching you and will try your recipies.
I think the peanut butter makes it more of a Penang Curry 🙂
Danish whisks are awesome
Yum!! Do you have a recipe for your seasoned salt?
me again…never mind, I found your new link to the containers. Hope Canada has them!
Becky….I am trying to find the containers you love (ie for your brown sugar etc). There was a link in one of your vids but it work. Do you know if the containers are 'chef's path' or 'Soledi'? They look like yours. Thanks Love you channel BTW. Keep up the great work; you are amazing!
Your videos are amazing. Definitely love watching you cook because you are so efficient. I also appreciate that you really season your food and everything looked so good.
Hi Becky, lovely to see you again.
Wow, so many meals. No wonder you're tired! I'm so glad I found channel… I have had my husband watching and he's all enthusiastic about storing, bulk cooking etc and has starting sourcing things to suit our needs. So, I thank you so, so much I have been nag** (persuading) him for years and he'll start excited then fade away. Our home made yogurt make is idling away in the cupboard…but he's started that off again,bought me a new pressure cooker and is thinking of getting a dehydrator and it's all your fault and I love you for it.
Your positive attitude is brilliant, not got an ingredient, so casually " doesn't matter we can add this.." its wonderful. Such a "CAN DO" for all you do. I love your garden layout, how you schedule tasks and nothing goes to waste. You are a welcome gift. Thank yo for making me smile.
Take care, keep safe. Love n hugs Lesley-Ann xX
You are amazing! I'm 58 years old, a good cook with tons of experience, and I learned some things. I can't wait to try the Moroccan Meatballs. We raise goats and I like to use the ground meat in heavily spiced recipes. Thanks for a great video, I just subscribed and can't wait to watch others. I'm hoping there's a video for the lentil recipe!
Absolutely love your channel. Wow I’m exhausted watching you cook though. You definitely make me want to strive to do better. Like maybe plan and cook meals for a week. Keep the content coming. Your a joy to watch.
If you want another way to use up oversized zucchini, try kasundi. I adapted an eggplant kasundi recipe (look for The Taj on mindfood) and used overgrown kamokamo (native NZ squash). I use about 1.5kg per recipe because it loses so much water. Delicious on burgers or just cheese and crackers.
Thank you for the video 😄
Little question since it's the first time I see freezer meals in Pyrex: you would defrost them before putting them in the oven right? I would think yes since not sure how freezer to oven would work without cracking.
Thanks for letting me know 👍☺
how do you grind up your bread crumbs? Do you just use a food processor? Or do you toast it or something?
That was excellent. Love the ideas and that so much was home grown
This just popped up on my page. I love the way you cook, measure by handfuls!
Very interesting tips though
Great editing!
How do you preserve your parsley and oregano? How do you dry them?
And what is your season salt recipe?
I love the way you are down to earth and just do things without any frills and fakeness! I would like to share a hint with you if I may. In this video you emptied your cheese tub into your meatballs, I collect all that kind of plastic tubs with reusable lids, put them through the dishwasher and stack and store them. They always come in handy whenever you make a huge pot of soup or stew, just let it cool off first then fill up some tubs, label them and put them in your freezer. Leave out for a few hours to defrost standing in a saucer whenever you feel like an easy meal again. You can also decant it into a microwave glass bowl and run it on high for a few minutes if you don't want to wait for it to defrost. Sending love from South Africa <3
