You should try white beans the moroccan way you will love it
Can anyone point me to which video had the chicken marinade recipes in it? Thanks in advance.
I am always amazed how your kitchen stays tidy. I feel like when I have tons of things coming in from the garden to process, and 2 school aged kids, that no matter what I do, and with the kids helping with unloading the dishwasher, I can't keep up. I clean as I go as much as possible, but I always outrun my dishwasher and it doesn't keep up. I feel like my kitchen is always a wreck. LOL
Oh miss Becky, you are missing out if you think blueberry doesn't go well with savory.😊 I enjoy chicken salad on blueberry bagels, amongst other things. You should try pairing it with savory toppings, dear.
Put your BBQ grill on naturel gas and you"ll never run out ever again! Just sayin. Best thing I ever did. Love it.
Hi Becky. Curious if have (ir have considered) making yogurt in your instant pot. I'm intrigued, but it's just hubby and me and he doesn't eat yogurt.
Thanks for your videos!
I bought some of those ball jar covers and live them!
One of my favorite breakfast sandwiches is cinnamon raisin bagel with sausage egg and cheese, I bet those blueberry bagels would make delicious breakfast sandwiches 😊
Hi Becky, wow that’s a lot of great recipes in 1 video, luv it , a lot of work but thank you, always take time to take a break, having a family is wonderful but takes a lot out of us mothers, thanks ❤
"I didn't follow the recipe exactly" LOL? Becky, I love you and how you cook, but have you ever followed a recipe exactly? 😅 It just struck me as funny that you said that 🤣.
Great video Becky. Your beans looked scrumptious
I have been meaning to inventory my freezers for months. I still haven’t done it. I have made an effort to eat what I have rather than eat out or buy more groceries
Those beans would have loved one of your frozen ham hocks.
If you cut your parchment after the bagels rise before boiling, you can cut the square holding the bagel, then drop in the water, comes off immediately and you don't have to worry about deflating them. Looks good.
I make the corn salad with jalapeno and corn chips.
Blueberry bagels make a delicious egg, cheese and sausage breakfast sandwich
i’m sure you’ve talked about it before but how do you make up the marinated meats and freeze them? even if someone could direct me to a previous video i would gladly appreciate it! i am a new chef with no experience lol
I love argula and watercress for salads. I prefer dark and bitter leaf greens like kale, chard, spinach and so on much more than lettuce. I still eat a lot of lettuce but I usually mix darker greens with it so the salad its more flavorful! Darker biter greens go so well with olive oil and lots of vinegar!
My kids started watching you after they seen me never miss a new upload. They absolutely love you. Thank you for your comforting videos Becky ❤️
That is so little food and you want to feed your family for 2 days? Oh my word.
I don’t know how you guys do it. Always such a fun video. I’m loving your gardens. Best wishes
You could had slipped that tray of potatoes right in there with your chicken, keep your kitchen cooler. Nice video though. we are shopping our pantry and freezer. I am 3 weeks no store so far
Really appreciate the insights in this video.
Hi Becky… just wanted to say that I still like your content, but I really miss the humble Becky that created content during Covid and before the platform morphed into the platform it is today. I respect you, and your enormously loyal followers (and I do follow too), but I feel that there has been a loss along the way. 🙂
Ive been using beans and legumes to help stabilise my blood sugars. Worth doing a little research into!
Im growing arugula.. I heard it has a pepper flavor. But excited to try it non the less. Also my my dog Ruger well one of his nicknames is agurgla. The other is a doby. He's a. Isabella doberman
I didn’t read all the comments, so this may have already been suggested. A little magnet that flips dirty and clean helps everyone in the house know if the dishes are dirty or clean. Just flip it to clean right after you push start.
Potato nachos! nice, will really try this. Bagel made with my favorite wheat berry mix. It makes great bread too. Those bagels look so good. Beans and corn bread – are you sure your not southern? Stay blessed.
Becky please be aware that Driscoll strawberries have been in the news for having serious cancer causing chemicals sprayed on them upwards of 371 during production and harvest.
I love the way your fur babies patrol the kitchen waiting for something to drop ❤
Fabulous week of food!
You are looking so healthy postpartum! Thanks for another amazing video ❤
