Just lay the peppers in the bottom of the baking dish, and top with the normal stuffing ingredients. Once baked up, I cool them off, then a vacu pack them in portion sizes. Works well, and I don’t have to by peppers in the winter.

Since you do so much processing and preserving each year, when you finally get around to remodeling your kitchen you might consider adding a clean up station with it's own very deep sink, drainboard, pot and bowl storage right there. You can get commercial stainless units with a counter on one side and drainboard on the other that are all one integrate piece which makes clean up and sanitation a snap. They're not so pretty/fashionable, but they're extremely functional and durable. That way you can deposit all your dirty stuff there in the deep sink as you finish each individual project to deal with later and still have your main sink available for your next, next and next projects throughout a given day. If you decide to put in that second dishwasher, that would also be the area to put the one for all your pots and pans! By the way, you have so many different appliances that I assume you also have a food processor? I'm pretty sure I've seen you use it shredding cheese. You can also use it to slice up cucumbers and grate up zucchini in seconds. We just made up a batch of sour kraut with ours by quartering the cabbage and running it through using the slicing disc. In less than 10 minutes we had 1/2 gallon of sour Kraut prepped, jarred and fermenting AND everything cleaned up and put away. We also make a cucumber and onion pickle like the ones you make (sans the sugar, we like ours more savory) and I slice up both the onions and cucumbers with the food processor as well. Saves a ton of time vs slicing everything. Great video as always!

Tip: even easier than muffins! Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper, and spread a double batch of batter in there. Takes only 20-25mins to bake because it’s thinner, and they are easy to slice into portion-size squares, fit neatly into freezer bags and reheat nicely with 30sec in the microwave plus a trip through the toaster - the outside gets so nice and crispy from the toaster too! I have found this to be the fastest way to prep sweet breads for the freezer.

You amaze me with how young you are with more knowledge than many oldtimers.

She made certain her daughters learned everything you're showing others. Some of which are lost arts. I giggle at myself.

11:34 - Instead of putting the towel in the bowl, put it inside a large plastic bag, fill it up with all the wet peppers (or other veggies, lettuce or whatever), go out on the floor and start swinging the bag around quite quickly for a little while. Then your arm and the bag works as a huge salad spinner/centrifuge and all the water goes into the towel and your peppers will be nice and dry! I dried wet veggies like this for many years, a couple of decades, now I own an Oxy salad spinner, but still also use this method (often it’s easier than pulling out the spinner!)… I had just seen how those spinners work and I used to «self spin» ketchup bottles and such to get out the last ketchup, so one day I just decided to try drying lettuce like that and a minute later I knew that using centrifugal force like that really works and I’ve done it ever since! Now you and others who may read this, can enjoy this method too! 🤗

Did you know pepper plants are perennials??? I just watched you tube video from Next Level Gardening called, "Over Wintering Your Pepper Plants" . I'm so excited to try and get a longer production time for my peppers next year by having the plants already established. Maybe you can get even more peppers that way too! Love your channel. You keep me motivated!

So productive! Since you make your own ranch seasoning, try putting that on the green beans instead of the garlic for another variation of flavor...DELICIOUS! 😋

Becky, thank you for reminding me of the years I spent preserving & cooking for my family. You have encouraged me to get back to freezing & canning in bulk. BTW-- try making corncakes (think cornbread pancakes) with fruit or bacon lardons & freeze them. Great quick grab & go meal. [I always take 1 to 1/2 Cups of flour out of the cornbread recipe & substitute more cornmeal for this.]

Regarding fresh blueberries…..I freeze blueberries on cookie sheet then transfer into bag. Then you can easily take out what you need without them being a big frozen clump. Great for cooking with, not snacking.

Don't let the baking intimidate you Becky. Making some mistakes is how we learn. It's meant to be fun.I was a better cook, but now I actually like to bake more. I have a serious sweet tooth, so for me it was a necessity 😁 similar to when you did your Christmas cookies, just follow the recipes the best you can and they should come out fine. Use your measuring spoons and cups😘💓it never hurts to add a couple of drops more of vanilla now and then...

This video was great. I learned how to make refrigerator cucumbers and a pink sauce. Both were something I will try to do. FYI try freezing whole peppers. They do great. Just wash and freeze. Then take them out and let them thaw a few minutes and you can core them and use them in anything your cooking. Easy peasy.

My granddaughters watched your video with me and asked to make the muffins. My very picky 3 and 6 year old granddaughters loved them and so did everyone else! I used some zucchini I had in the freezer and didn’t drain it so I ended up adding another cup of flour.

Another amazing video, Becky!! If anyone is considering getting a freeze dryer and you are able to, take the plunge! I love it! Just finished mushrooms, basil, spinach, chicken broth, and vegetable broth. I figured after a few cycles I’d let it rest a bit lol. It’ll be going again this evening with more basil, bell peppers, zucchini, and yellow squash. I love the fact that if I have something that won’t be used quickly enough, I can freeze dry it for later. My freezers are usually pretty full at any one time. I dehydrate also but Becky’s video of the comparison of both ways is what pushed me to get the Harvest Right! I am just amazed how much better the food tastes after being reconstituted vs dehydrated. And no, I don’t work for the company 😁

I hope that when you plan your new gardens, that you will consider laying down this black vinyl grown covering. We were ready to give up gardening because of so many weeds, however after laying down that covering, we did not have to pull one weed this year. It was a lifesaver, and things grew so much better because they did not have to compete with weeds. This fabric is good for crops above ground. Probably would not work for crops below ground

For Blueberry preservation: Blueberry Vanilla Ice. Chop your Blueberries a little smaller or blend them, make a Vanilla Ice base and throw them together. Freeze - delish. Goes with anything sweet. Or just waffles vanilla blueberry ice and whipped cream. Christmas!

@@pennynickels5216 Penny, a pretty simple 5-Ingredients Vanillaice. I use for a serving of 4 people: 1 Vanillabean (a real one - not that liquid) 250 ml Milk 250 ml Heavycream 4 Egg yolks 150 grams of sugar Halve the vanilla pod and scrape out the pulp. Put milk, vanillapod and cream in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Batter the egg yolks with sugar and vanilla pulp until creamy consistency. Stir in 5 tablespoons of the hot milk. Then stir in the egg yolk-sugar mixture into the milk and heat up to 75 °C for about 5 minutes while stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat, remove the vanilla pod and leave to cool to refrigerator temperature. Put the ice cream mass in the ice cream maker and let it freeze for about 60 minutes. If you do not have an ice cream maker, no problem as well. Put the ice cream mass into an freezer container and put that into a freezer. Every 30 Minutes stir the ice cream mass. Do so for about 2 to 3 hours.

Absolutely love when you cook!!! I'm retiring July 2024 and moving to Alabama. My sister who lived with me for 6 months before she moved to Alabama has already found us a beautiful 4 bedroom house on 5 acres. When she moved with me along with her son, it was an adjustment but we learned to cook together, clean and craft together. I miss that. Looking forward to gardening and cooking again from scratch. It's not as fun when you live by yourself.
