I love this comment so much! You’re spot on!!

I love that you use the mixing spoon to drizzle some sauce onto your tasting spoon to prevent double dipping, even if you’re only making food for the family. This awareness is lacking in so many other cooking videos I’ve seen where the meal is made for friends and ppl not in the household.

I have to say that I love the “wait for it “ moment when the Becky Big Brown Eyed Seal of Approval occurs. I am not 😊trying to be patronizing. It is just such a truly nice event during these troubled times in the world.

My family has a roster of about forty quick dinners that we really enjoy, and have found that really useful over the years. So I think you're doing something really good for your little family to develop such a wide range of meals that you can make quickly --- you'll be able to feed them frugal, nutritious meals that taste woderful. And that is a great act of service for your family. Well done, Becky!

Becky, and easy dinner you should check out is a Scottish recipe called "Mince and Tatties", which is a ground beef, onion, carrot and gravy one-pan dish served over mashed potatoes. It is my family's new favourite meal. It comes together in about 30 minutes, and is delicious and thrifty. It is absolutely loaded dwith flavor. You and Josh would love it. There are lots of recipes online for it, since almost every Scottish family has their own slightly different version of it, it seems.

Becky, I got orzo to make the last chicken meal, but the link you shared doesn't lead to the correct recipe. You laid it out well enough in the video that I can follow that, but thought you should know!

You have no idea how happy I am that this popped up on my YT recommended! My oven died 6 months ago, but we are moving out to build in a couple of weeks, so buying a new stove only to have to move it (twice) was not going to happen. I miss baking and roasting. These stove top meals are a breath of fresh air, and I'm going to add them to my meal prep plan! Thank you!

This could not have come at a better time. I am a PhD student in the final stretch and take out has been an unhealthy staple in my household because I have been struggling to get meals sorted for my husband and I. These recipes are super simple, quick and straight forward, I am going to give all of 'em a try! Thank you Becky for being awesome as always! :D

Tons of stuff on the internet to find instead of take out! Glad you are switching over! It took me a while to get in board and now take out is disgusting! Also, much cleaner since you washed and cleaned your own kitchen 😂❤❤❤

That’s incredible scenery out your kitchen window. And what a nice window to view it from.

Goulash is another dish that cooks in one pot. So hearty and packed with flavor. A favorite around here and so easy

If you use carrot, onion, and celery a lot, you can make a quart jar of dehydrated/ freeze dried mixture and then you have a quick soup starter!!!

What a beautiful fall view outside your kitchen window. Inspiration for some tasty comfort meals. I love your cooking, canning, and baking videos. The new house is coming along very nicely! I look forward to your holiday videos and videos of your home improvement endeavors!

I like how efficiently you film and splice your videos so that we get them more often without being overwhelming for you (hopefully)😊. I imagine it takes lots of planning. Thank you Becky.

What a nice variety of recipes you've chosen for this video! The hamburger helper is a great family meal. Economical, delicious and no crazy chemicals and additives that come in the commercial version. If you want to change it up even more, use some canned tomatoes in it.

This year’s garden didn’t do as well as I was hoping but hopefully, with your inspiration, it’ll be better next year. But I was able to make tomato soup from the garden, which was delicious!

You are an amazing cook! I’m 71 years old and have been cooking since I was 14 but I am learning so much from you. Thank you!

I love the recipe. I just had to add, you have so many followers or subscribers and yet you make each of us feel as if we were your guest in your home on a one to one. that is so sweet thank you for all you do.

Please take this as a compliment, your style reminds me of when I was a kid watch Mr. Rogers. You are so calm and relaxing for me. Thank you!

Becky, thank you for this video. I do this most of the time. It's just my husband and me. I'm older and don't always feel like making a big mess in the kitchen. When I feel good, I will make up large dishes, divide them up into one portion servings and freeze them. But the idea of just having a pan, or two, is much better for me to handle. Love your channel. ❤

The hamburger helper recipe was delicious. I didn’t have any sour cream so I substituted with some cream cheese and it worked beautifully. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our supper tonight. ❤

I love those big brown eyed confirmations. You know it’s good when you see that expression on your face. You’re adorable! I love all your ideas. You’re doing an amazing job helping your viewers. Thank you for your service. 🥰

I am so proud of myself that I thought of adding frozen peas to the last recipe too! It shows I'm doing well if I can think of things at the same time as you do! I love this channel. Your ability to cook is something I really admire. You and Josh must eat incredibly well all the time!

Another important note about the homemade hamburger helper is that making it homemade reduces the sodium dramatically. The boxed version has like 1,000 mg. of sodium or something per serving! Other than cooking with fresh ingredients, you don't mention much about cooking for health reasons, but reducing the sodium is terrific! I love your creativity and confidence to add ingredients not in the original recipes. Your willingness to experiment gives me incentive to do the same.

The face you make after tasting your creation…priceless and funny 😊 I really like your channel and your way of inviting us into your kitchen ❤

My husband who loves soups said this is now his favorite soup. Delicious

I make homemade hamburger helper often. I sometimes put some of my homemade taco seasoning in it while it's cooking, and then top it with taco toppings.....chopped tomatoes , salsa, sour cream, and grated cheese. To make this even easier I brown about 10 pounds of ground beef with onions, garlic and salt and pepper and freeze 3 cups( close to 1 lb) of the mixture in bags. Super simple to pull a bag out and use in hamburger helper, tacos, spaghetti sauce, shepherds pie, etc. I have only recently discovered your channel and am loving all the videos. Thanks so much.

Did the gnocchi skillet meal, used sausage instead of chicken. I had two bak choy and a can of Italian tomatoes with zucchini for the veggies. Just a bit of parmesan cheese for the mozarella. It was incredible! And so fast and easy. Definitely a keeper in our meal rotation. Becky you are such an inspiration, you have refreshed my love to experiment and cook again!

I keep quartered lemons and limes in a bag in my freezer, so that I always have them on hand. The go a little softer when thawed but if you’re just using them to squeeze on food they’re fine.

A long time ago I ran across a recipe called cheeseburger chowder which is basically potato soup with ground beef and the recipe called for American cheese. I'm not a fan of American cheese so I used cheddar and my family loves it. The recipe also called to thicken the soup with flour/water mixture, but my sister showed me a cheat by thickening with potato flakes instead. It's super fast and easy and a family favorite. I'm sure the original recipe called for other things to ramp up the cheeseburger flavor, but after all these years I don't remember 😂. I've used a variety of different things to tweak the flavor, sometimes spicy 🔥, sometimes savory. I've used venison, hot sausage, chicken. A cheesy potato soup base is an awesome start to a warm comforting supper.😊❤

I've been making 30min dinners with some of the recipes I've been watching you make:) I made chicken corn chowder the other day with a freezer prep I had made containing chicken, carrots, onion, garlic, and caelery seed. I had planned to use it for chicken noodle soup, but had a lot of canned creamed corn on hand, so I added a couple cans of that and some homemade chicken broth. Yummy! Also, made peanut butter chicken with broccoli and a side of sauted bok choy day before yesterday after watching you do a freezer meal prep for peanut butter chicken. It's one of my mom's favorite meals. She was in the Navy and stationed in Hong Kong in the 80s and used to make a lot of Asian food while I was growing up. I took some of the chicken over to her house for her to try. She said it was amazing:) Just finished making 6 loaves of pumpkin bread that I put in the freezer and made a huge batch of tomato-cheddar biscuits that I froze the dough for later baking after watching you do it. So, THANK YOU for all the inspiration!!!

I made the garlic chicken gnocchi tonight for supper and....yeah.... it's going into the regular meal rotation! Deeeeelish! 👌 Thank you for sharing it, sister!

My mom used to make corn chowder all the time because it was a super cheap meal to make. It's one of my favorite dishes my mom made us. Brings back memories every time I make it.

These recipes look delicious and realistic! Only 30 min is about all the time I really have. I would love to see more! Thank you!

Even when something isn’t really good, you admit it and adjust. You are so real. Love those big eyes of approval your get. Makes me smile every time. Well done young woman.

Reserve a little of your broth to heat in the microwave to add to the coconut milk can to collect all that is left behind in the can. 😊

I loved this video! I like your ideas for minimizing mess and dishes. Although I don't mind cooking messes (I am really good at making them!) sometimes it is so helpful to have go-to recipes that are minimal mess. Hey, Becky, that would make a great name for a video of 5 recipes--Minimal Mess!

I like to add the oil from the sundried tomatoes in as half the fat to cook the rest in. So half the butter and replace with a couple tablespoons of the sundried tomato oil to cook onions and chicken in. I also add a little garlic when the chicken is almost done

Your very brave attempting new recipes on camera, good for you. New recipes is what we all do, I admire that in you, keeping it real ❤

My family loves homemade helper. I add some flour to the beef and onions b4 adding the liquids to make a thicker sauce. We like Italian herbs and 8oz of tomato sauce with the broth. Finish with cream and shredded cheese 😋

Neat trick I learned from an Italian chef to make a stainless steel pan nonstick: Heat the dry pan until a drop of water rolls off the surface. Then add your oil (if using butter, turn down the heat immediately after adding it). Let the oil heat up before proceeding with your cooking.

In local markets are now "boneless skinless chicken quarters" which are leg and thigh attached parts. I've found they're the easiest,best, and fastest dinner!! I've fried, braised, baked, sliced, diced and just about anythinged to them!! The meat is forgiving for long cooking times and absorb marinade beautifully. Easy to trim excess fat so are healthy. They're a game changer for my family!

Try adding can of diced tomatoes to the homemade hamburger helper....so amazing! My mom made this all the time when I was a child, and I've continued to make it, too. It's a recipe that is quick, easy, versitile, and delicious.

Pam here….one pot meals are the bomb! Anything to save time, dishwashing and kitchen clean up and tastes great is a winner. Having the pre chopped onions is great too. My garden onions didnt do so well, so I probably will watch for a sale on some and do 10-20 pounds all at once

Hello Becky....always enjoy your energy and your dishes . I've done some of your freezer meals...I love how easy they are. Plus they are so nice when you need a meal for family going through something

Great job as always Becky! I do the peppers, onion and celery and cheese in my corn chowder and your right the cheese makes all the difference!

Hey Becky! Great recipes! For more options of long term storage and ease of cooking- celery, carrots, grated cheese, and corn all freeze dry and reconstitute amazingly well!
