I can't wait ot meet you! 😊
In mine you actually have to put the correct beater into each hole. There is a right way to do it. If you put the wrong beater into the wrong hole it will fall out.
I bought a new mixer with the same beater problem. If you look at where the beaters go you might find that one of the holes and the beater base to stick in them are a little different sized. Once I discovered this the beaters quit falling out. My old mixer is over 30 years old so I use both if making more than one item at a time.
I've never made or even tasted strawberry cookies. They look tasty. I love fruity things.
Im American and flying a Canadian flag while living in a red state. I just love. 🤭I might need to rent one of your B&B’s. Lol
I love you, your family and your channel. It does take us away from everything. Thank you for that.
Maybe do a mixture of pre-baked and frozen cookie dough (already in cookie size balls). We've really enjoyed being able to just pull out a few frozen cookies and pop them into the oven as we sit down for dinner. Then we have yummy warm cookies waiting for us as a little sweet treat after dinner. Thank you for the recipes!
My beaters will do that of in the wrong spot. Idk it has specific holes for each better. I always thought it didn’t matter. 🤦🏼♀️
I agree with trying to figure out which side the beaters go on. I bought the exact same mixer as you did, about the same time, but it doesn’t have a picture on the bottom for which beaters to put on which side. I haven’t had any issues with mine, altho I haven’t used it much in the last month because one of my beaters disappeared. Still haven’t found it after searching high and low but I suspect it ended up in the garbage somehow. Thankfully I’ve been able to order another set.
I also wonder if maybe you got a dud for a mixer, where the part that locks in the beater has loosened. It should still be under warranty.
Hi Chelsea! Watching from Ohio, USA 😊
I would love to know more about your big mixer!
On your handheld mixer, when you put the beaters into the mixer, there is usually one with a post that is different from the other. This may be supposed to click into a certain one of where you insert each beater's post. No real recommendation for hand mixers, mine is from my local drugstore! 😂
Thank you for your sweet videos, always a pleasure to spend time "with" you.
I was thinking I might find the recipes within your Description, but I didn't, so I will just ask a question concerning an often-mentioned ingredient:
Dates. The chewy ones? What can we replace them with? Soaked raisins? Would soaked golden raisins be even better? Thoughts?
Thank you again! ❤
I preferred that you do recipes without premeasuring. It makes it easier when you are using your YouTube videos during cooking time. 😊
So looking forward to seeing your garden.
Thank you for bringing that calm place we can come too. I come to watch you in a relaxed atmosphere to learn, be entertained or just spend time with someone who I wish was my neighbor. And I can't wait to see your beautiful garden grow. The chocolate crinkle is our family favorite.
The rhubarb link recipe doesnt coinside with the measurements of what you followed in the video?
Someone already said this but I was going to say..make sure you're putting your mixer beaters in the right place. They are not interchangeable and will fall out if they're on the wrong side.😊
Appreciate that you stick with the calm. We get enough in the real world & enjoy the escapism
I saw on another YouTube channel that KitchenAid makes a battery operated hand mixer and you have no cord to fool with. It has many speeds and she got it on sale.
Don't you love our Northern winters? We have a whole outside for a refrigerator. This is the time of year I make most of my bone broth. I just place the pots outside and voila, the fat hardens and I can remove it.
I love to add butterscotch chips to my oatmeal cookies. So delicious!
I would be so happy if I could see what you were doing close up.
As far as your mixer make sure you’re putting the beaters in the right holes. I’ve had my Hamilton beach for probably 30 plus yrs. It was cheap too. I paid under $10 on Black Friday.
Hi Chelsea. I wanted to share my mom's Snickerdoodle recipe with you. I'm not sure where she got it, but she was born in 1922 and adopted me as an infant in 1961, so this recipe has been around for a long time. I make it every Christmas as one of the cookies I put in my gift baskets for family, friends and neighbors and everyone always loves it. I hope you'll give it a try.
Snickerdoodles
Makes 5 dozen, 2 inch cookies
1 cup butter
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2-3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Plus 2 tbsp sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon to roll them in before baking.
Mix butter, sugar, and eggs thoroughly. Sift dry ingredients and stir into first mixture. Chill the dough for 30-60 minutes.
Mix 2 tbsp sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll dough into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart on un-greased baking sheet. Bake 8-20 minutes at 400 degrees (Fahrenheit) until lightly browned, but still soft.
When I start onions, to save space and making shifting less clumsy, I save spinach clam shells and put one packet of onions per clam shell. They look like boxes of turf.
Milk water mixture for killing off aphids, I learned about this from Living Tradition Homestead. I know that if you treat the soil with a sprinkle of epsom salt the aphids leave. My grandmother had a maple tree in her yard and it would have sticky aphid goo on the grass and I took epsom salt and sprinkled it on the grass under the tree and the aphids left, I did have to reapply about every 4 weeks throughout the summer.
I always use salted butter and I go ahead and add at least most of the salt in recipes. I’ve never noticed anything being too salty.
Starting seeds is exciting! I need to get busy and get all my stuff out of the shed.
Have you tried the kitchen Aide brand of hand mixer
I have to tell you a story! Back in my day, girls had Home Economics lessons in Middle School that included cooking. I learned to cook at home with my mother and I was not familiar with electric stoves because we had gas. At school there were eight small kitchens for the students to cook in, in small groups. My job was to read the directions and check that the ingredients and appliances were prepped. I did something with the instructions that I just saw you do with your recipe…I laid the paper down on the black electric cooktop. It burst into flame! I didn’t know the burner was on because it was not red! Oh my GOODNESS!! 😂 Thankfully I did not flunk the class.
I had a glass top electric stove for the past 25 years and I loved it! Now, moved to a new address, I will be replacing the gas stove with electric asap! And I also used my cold electric stovetop as a countertop so I completely understand why you feel free to put your recipe sheet on the burner.
Love watching your channel!
When my son was little he called snickerdoodle cookies doodle doodle cookies 😁
As an 82 year old, I come to your program, as a respite from the the daily destruction happening in my country. I used to garden, can, bake and loved cooking and your program brings back happy memories. Thank you.
I use a kitchenaid hand mixer and works very well . Love all your cookie recipes so yummy !
