    Lol. Me too. It is so satisfying watching her clean up the mess that was made with her crops. I even felt the lightness through my phone screen after it was clean up. My heart felt so happy, it started beating faster. Lol Mess drives me crazy, cleanliness put me at peace and comfort. Ask my children how i react whenever i walked into a messy house. I start yelling and throwing things, clean it up right this minute. This isn't a pig pen or trash bin. It better be done by the time i get out of the shower otherwise your behind is grass. Lol. Then you see and hear them planing and running around getting it done before i am done. Once i told them when i was single without children i only use to do one major clean on fridays after work and laundry is done on saturday. But clean up after everything during the week, so my place was always clean. Now with you tansmania children, my place can't stay clean for 2 days. I will start yelling, i want my life back when there were no mess. Lol. But i love my 2 girls, i only say that out of frustration because i can't dwell or live in mess. My brain can't comprehend it no matter how i try. I wasn't raised like that, so my children call me a clean freak. Lol

Never knew that about onions and potatoes being stored right next with each other can shorten their long term life. I knew the gas’s from onions and I try to store them up off the ground but not that they and the potatoes won’t last as long. OMGosh. I’m so excited to see this post storing these items.

    I can attest to this. I reorganized my pantry and placed them in stacking boxes on top of each other and wondered why I had to keep buying potatoes and why it smelled funky. I separated them and lo and behold, my potatoes last longer. And my onions don't sprout. I unfortunately can't have them separated right now (tiny apartment + samsclub membership is an adventure) and I'm already noticing bad signs. I hope to do a big prep day so I can use them up and be able to separate them again

    Becky, when baking bread, if you are wanting it to rise even more during the baking process, place a metal cake pan in the oven below your baking sheet and place 2 cupsful of ice cubes in it. As the ice melts it causes a steaming effect in your oven which forces the dough to rise even more than it already has. Happy baking!!!

    @@cherylburt1315 you do it kill any possible pest. Same with flour. I was taught to do this by my grandmother when I was little and I taught it as well to my kids. So when you buy your flour for example pop it in the freezer at least for 4 days before transferring it to your airtight container. Sometimes mine will stay in the freezer until I need it. Make sure you let it warms to room temp before you store it in your container so you don’t trap any moisture. I keep my oats in my freezer all the time because oats can go rancid quickly. But we don’t eat as many oats as Becky & her husband do. 😊 The buckets she uses are air tight containers. You want them with the screw on lid, and of course food safe buckets. Amazon cells them now with that top of lid. Hope this answered your question.

Saves the water and time bringing it back up to boiling. Man i love chickens! 😊

She noticed on your pantry you have your Wine bottles standing up. She recommended if they have corks to lay them on their side. It keeps the cork moist, which is key for long term storage. Dried out corks can cause seepage and premature aging. Can’t wait to try the cheesesteak and hoagie roll recipe ❤😊

I started prepping and freezing good amounts of onions, bell peppers, home shredded cheeses, butter... homemade breakfast burritos!!

    Suggestion for three next time you make these- Don't cut the roll all the way through.

Voila! The heat from the meat should melt your cheese just fine. 💞

    Hey Becky, as a Philadelphian you chose correctly with the provolone cheese. There are two options for cheese on a Philly cheesesteak, provolone or cheese whiz. Most people choose provolone.

I got better, returned to clean up my beds and found huge onions under all the sweet potato leaves. I don't know much about soil but I know they loved the sweet potato beds. They were small in all the other beds without the sweet the sweet potatoes.

    Becky - if you like to eat onion raw check into a 1015 onion - they are nicknamed Aggie onions because they were developed at Texas A&M University here in Texas. They are delicious on sandwiches and burgers, etc. I have no idea if they can be stored for long periods of time or not. The man who developed these Texas Supersweet 1015 onions also developed maroon carrots (TAMU's colors are maroon and white)

    We have a lot of Butternut Squash and Hubbard Squash and Gem Squash here in South Africa. Butternut Squash one can bake them in vertical halves with any kind of filings inside after taken the seeds out in the middle like spinch and feta cheese etc or even can add a can of tomatoe onion or even add bacon or can of creamy sweetcorn inside topped with feta if one likes. Drizzle over olive oil top bake and grill both halves open with the skins on. Skins so sweet you can also eat

    The onion harvest looks amazing! I had my first harvest of onions this year. Both red ones and yellow. The yellow have stored great, but the red ones all rotted in the center.
