Thought you might like this little story. I’m not a good cook, at all. I never enjoyed cooking and worked multiple jobs so when I was blessed with my son and as a single mother, I started to have to cook more for us. All the while I had 1 FT job and 2 PT. It was a touch time, 1997 through 2009 but soooo worth it. The story I really wanted to tell you is that for my birthday/Christmas or any gift holidays, I would only ask my mother for freezer dinners of the foods I grew up with. These saved us. I know that the people you, prepare and gift these wonderful meals to, GREATLY appreciate it. They are like handmade art or crafts, touching, meaningful and sooooo appreciated.

The reason a recipe calls for chilling the dough (in case you do not know) is so that a) flour can hydrate and b) butter can harden. This will give you a thicker cookie and reduce the amount of spread giving you the intended texture of the recipe.

Also to stop fermentation aswell and dough from rising any longer. You can rise a dough then don't want to bake it that night.. you can chuck in fridge and it'll stay the same size so that way it can continue to rise in the oven. I'm suprised she doesn't know this

Hey Becky, you probably know this already but you never know till you tell someone. I keep the rindes from my harder cheeses and use them when I make a cheese sauce.

You are so easy-going and your attitude is so awesome! I found myself liking some of your recipes and printing them out. I think the main thing is that you are very REAL.

Little tip for cookies that should be chilled before baking. Put the flour in the freezer before you start in the kitchen. As it is usually the final ingredient to be added to the recipe it will firm up the dough a little and ‘pre chill’ it.

This is what I do. Since it takes my oven a bit to preheat, I use that time to chill it in the freezer. Plus I wash and clean up during this time and then prep cookie sheets and prep to roll out dough if needed. Usually this gives it enough time to chill. I also put it in the freezer in between baking.

Subscribed! Girl, I just found your channel by happenstance and I think I just found a kindred spirit, (albeit much younger). For decades I've held to the principle that if I'm going to cook, I'm going to put some up for later, whether freezing, pressure canning and/or freeze drying. Have also long believed that the BEST gifts you can give a new mom are ready-to-go homemade meals. TBH, I didn't really learn any tips/tricks/recipes in this particular video, but I am sure I will in others. However, I have one tip for you: Check your storage freezer once a day to make sure it's running properly. Have a friend who has a HUGE freezer in her basement and recently a large frozen ham fell off the rack, banging and opening the door from the inside while doing so. When she went downstairs about a week later, she found the freezer door ajar with that ham laying on the floor and everything inside completely ruined. Couldn't even cook up for the dogs. She's a homesteader with chickens and pigs and cows, so she lost over a $2000 worth of meat in just that one incident. 😱

I flat freeze individual items like berries, chicken strips and meatballs on cookie sheets then dump them into freezer bags after they are frozen. They seem to stick less and are easy to pull out a handful. Don't know if you'll see this tip but love your videos. God bless you!

@diannamarie464 7 ай бұрын

I do that now with precooked meat, pre-chopped onions, bell peppers and other veggies. I also pre-shredd cheese and freeze on a cookie sheet before putting in storage containers. I learned a lot from Becky. 😊

You can also use a baking sheet too make mini pancakes. Just spray, put desired thickness (¼ d this batter y poofs) of batter spread evenly. Cook until desired brownness. Take cookie cutter( mine is a old tuna can) you'll sacrifice the corners but have same size rounds for stacking and freezing. Just a thought for you. ❤

I am always inspired by Becky’s indefatigable energy and motivation to supply her family with great meals. However, her little kitchen gizmos that she uses are things I adore. I adore kitchen gear even if I don’t always use them but they appeal to me. The freezer bag holders are inspired. My favourite gizmo is a French bean slicer. I have had it for at least 30 years and have never used it but I am happy to know that if I ever need one, there it is. It doesn’t take up much space. These things are so inventive and there seem to be more and more on the market all of the time. Becky is the best!
