👉WATCH NEXT: Make Ahead Meals For The Week- th-cam.com/video/IjJjgBy7tvY/w-d-xo.html 💥She’s In Her Apron Shop & Planners - shesinherapron.myshopify.com/ What are some of the go-to meals your family enjoys the most?
Some of my go to meals are spaghetti, bbq chicken breast & roasted veggies, chili w/corn bread & fruit, chicken noodle soup & potato soup. Any time there's roast; sandwiches are made from it the 2nd time around.
My family's favorite InstaPot meal is chicken Verde. 4 frozen chicken breasts 1 tsp of paprika 1 tsp of cumin 1 jar of salsa Verde Set the Pot on Poultry on high for 26 minutes, shred, and serve over beans and rice. My hubby likes me to add "fajita" veggies (peppers and onions).
A new one for my kids is. Chicken doritoz casserole....I save the doritoz for last tho.... cause I have figured out that they get soggy.... & is not good re-heated....
We also like to do shredded chicken quesadillas... & we mix up a big batch of shredded chicken & a big can of green enchilada sauce & mix it together & put into crescent rolls & bake.... very kid friendly.... Oh & chili cheese tater tots casserole
I just want you to know. I think you are just the sweetest and kindest person Kimmy. You are blessing a friend going through a rough time with food to feed her family. I can't think of a better way to show someone how much they mean to you and that you truly are THERE and thinking of them. Huge hugs and high 5's from me to you girl! 🥰
I love that you are caring for your friend in need. The way you packaged everything can also be frozen, so if she finds she has too much, she can always use it later. You're so sweet 💞
Hi Kimmy! I use dry herbs for the long simmering time and THEN add the fresh herbs for the last hour so this way the flavour is more prominent and not bitter, I use your recipe for your tomato sauce and love it, thank you
Kim have you seen the hack of putting your whole head of garlic in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. Then slice off the end (not root end) and squeeze out your whole garlic cloves. It’s peeled and whole. When you try it please film!! It works.
You are a great friend to have, I am very much like you that I love to cook for families, it is just me and I love to cook! It is my Ukrainian heritage that I love to make pedahe!
The jar of peppers&veggies in oils is pronounced like Jar -Den-Near. It can also be put on an Italian Sub or served on an antipasto tray. In my family we always fry or bake our meatballs before adding to our homemade sauce. I'm glad you heard me shout You Forgot the Italian Style Breadcrumbs! And adapted your recipe😁
We pronunce it Jar-Da-Nair-Ah and we buy the huge jars from Costco put it on our Subway sandwiches, pizza, anitpasto. We have Portillos for Italian beefs and dip that bread in the broth. Great Christmas gift for family who moved far and away from the Chicago area.
A great alternative to ricotta cheese if u either can't find it or it's too expensive is cottage cheese. I kno it sounds wierd but trust me, when it's baked, u can't tell a difference
If you add your garlic when the onion is almost done and then the tomato paste and saute for a minute or so, it removes the raw taste of both the garlic and tomato paste ❤ Going to make some sauce for dinner tomorrow to have over gnocchi so thank you for the inspiration 😀
If you are putting sugar in the gravy to cut the acid down, I minced celery and carrots, sauté them in olive oil then I add the garlic, let that cook for a minute then add the canned tomatoes.
I love the wrap apron! And I love the idea of it being a little big so you can move around comfortably. Hope you add this to items you make available to us 😍....a pretty floral would be wonderful!
Good morning Kimmy from our farm in Central Lakes ⛵⛵ New Hampshire! I teach sustainability workshops when I have the time. So encouraged by your videos, showing how to stock a pantry from a meal planning list. We have relied heavily on my pantry since March 2020 for our two farm properties. Not only are we a fair distance from any grocery store , but we also shut the farm down during the pandemic. Having multiple freezers and shelf space dedicated to dry and canned goods has been a lifesaver for time and budget. I had to give up my part time job in 2020. That money was used for groceries. Kimmy, you are a study in Materials Management. I retired from high tech and learned the min/max concept that works so well for the home. So kind of you to help a friend. We do the same. We don't have cash, but I can make up food gift baskets and delivered firewood and hay. So many of our neighbors were down with flu and other viruses. They needed a hot meal delivered and sometimes barn work. We raise grass fed beef and asked for help last fall to get the cattle into the barn for the winter. All the best! ~ Diane
It was really kind of you to make these meals for your friend. (I think you said Denise, I'm not sure) You're such a kind person. x They all look lovely. My favourite is the gravy/tomato sauce.
Those basil plants can be put into your outdoor garden once all danger of frost is gone! I have successfully grown HUGE plants from grocery store basil plants! I use banana pepper rings all the time in both chicken and beef Mississippi roasts, and trust me it turns out super yummy using those too! Just in case you ever need to use a jar in a pinch! 😉 My family go to's are lazy lasagna, homemade pizza's, both chicken and beef enchiladas, taco seasoned meat (we use ground beef, chicken or turkey depending on our mood, lol), a fun dish called Bang Bang chicken (or shrimp), numerous kinds of soups that freeze well!
It's so generous of you to help your friend. After my C-section my husband's boss's wife brought me a lasagna. It was really wonderful. Wish I had planned ahead and was more organized. I'll definitely do it for friends in the future.
I have never seen such an impressive pantry as yours. What an example. Thank you for your channel!!! I am in awe of you. I love the spaghetti sauce recipe with the pork chops and all the other meats! Yum!
I just happened on this video as I was looking for something else and I’m so glad I did. Some of the meals you’ve made I would never have thought of making. You’re a very organised lady and certainly know how to cook the easy way even though the prep is time consuming. I will now be following you so I can enjoy some of your recipes. Your friend must be delighted with what you do for her in her time of need which is what only a true friend with big heart would do. So many thanks for your video and I will now subscribe so I don’t miss future recipes. 🏴🇬🇧
I hope you have a friend that will be this good to you! Everyone of us desperately needs a break once in a while and I'm sure your friend and her family will enjoy these delicious freezer meals!
When making the Stuffed shells, you don't need to boil them first. Just stuff them. The sauce and the steam from baking will cook them. Same thing with lasagna. Just use regular lasagna noodles ( no need for the no- boil ones). I add a little extra water to my sauce so the noodles can absorb some of the liquid. Thanks for sharing your recipes...and time... with us.
Mind blown! I made stuffed shells once when I was 22. It was laborious and I had a baby. That was 27 years ago….but they were so authentic tasting. I may try again!
@@lorrainefloyd9845 Yes, they are perfectly done. Not soggy at all. Not watery, either. I add about 1/4-1/2 cup of extra water to my sauce and it turns out fine. Depends on your sauce.
Kimmy, you have shown that Christ-like love for your friend. What a great example for your family. On another note: I will definitely try these recipes as they look so yummy.
Loved loved loved this video, my husband kept coming in to watch, he wants me to make the poor mans lasagna and enchiladas!!Thank you for all you do for your friend in need and for putting a little sunshine in my day!
I'm adding my sentiment along with many who have expressed it here ... how touched I am with your gifting of the delicious meals to your friend. These are major meals too. This is love, for sure. May God bless.
You are a trooper! Just the way you keep cooking, you are amazing and your fast. Thank you. You give me incentive to cook and freeze meals to use during the week to feed my boys and me. ❤️
I make spaghetti bolognese, pasta béchamel, lamb chops hotpot, chicken pot pie, shredded chicken bake, beef stew with homemade dumplings… lots more but some family favorites.
Your friend is very lucky to have you as a true friend. Your meals look great and wonderful 👍 I wish I had a friend like you when I got sick and was down for a few months. Keep on cooking, don’t ever stop
I don't buy the jars of minced garlic either. For some reason, it just looks weird to me. I'm of Italian descent like you and so fresh garlic is one of the best scents in the world! 😋
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your videos! So many ideas, it’s so easy for us to get stuck in our own recipes, it’s inspiring. Thank you for all you do!!!
This was a wonderful practical video. I took lots of notes and thought of how I could adapt it for two old people. I love that Lazy Man's Lasagna, and the sweet and sour meatballs in the crockpot. I had never before heard of starting your "gravy" with two pork chops! That was fascinating. Thank you so much.
I just love your videos! You make your tomato gravy the same way my mother in law taught me…except we bake the meatballs before adding to the gravy. Have you ever tried dropping a chuck roast in the gravy? Once cooked, shred it and stuff in those jumbo shells with your yummy pecorino. It’s a labor of love but SO worth it!
It’s always so interesting to see how we all make our sauce/gravy. We make ours different probably because of where our families are from and where we grew up. I grew up in NY and my grandparents were from Salerno on one side and Sicily on the other.
@@edefyinggravity Also when I went to Italy the food was so different from what I know. Simple and just perfect. The only place I was shockingly disappointed by food was in parts of Tuscany. I was pregnant and just wanted chicken and aside from grilled chicken that was beyond simple lol I couldn’t find anything. Here we always see recipes for Tuscan lemon chicken and I could not find it. Maybe it is completely made up haha.
Kimmy , you crack me up with measurements ! “ mmmm sure ! “ 😂 I do the same thing ! Season to your soul! Your such a sweet friend ! Love the wrap apron , they are awesome !
Smothered pork chops. Yumm Lightly coat chops in flour and flash fry in a bit of oil to brown..not cook completely..just brown. Peel russet potatoes and slice thin like scalloped potatoes. Slice an onion into thin rings. Mix a can of cream of mushroom soup with some canned evaporated milk. Pour some of the soup mixture into a casserole dish and layer the potatoes and then pork chops and layer again with potatoes and chops..salt and pepper as you go..pour remaining soup mixture over it and top with sliced onions. Bake at 350 degrees covered with casserole lid or foil for 45 minutes or until bubbly and brown around edges and potatoes are fork tender. Also a good slow cooker meal. Add a salad and enjoy!
I have dried basil from 3 years ago. I promise you. If you grow 4 or 5 plants of each herb you use, you will never run out. Just cut, lay out on a tray and itll dry in a few days. At the end if thr summer, pull up the rest of the plant and hang it upside down till dry.
I love pulling up your videos when I need help with meal planning! You’re the first place I go! Thank you so much Kimmy for all the work you put into these videos. You’re saving us so much time and sanity!! You’re the best! ☺️💜🥳👏🏼👍🏼
I made a container of yoghurt yesterday and will continue to do so, for the cost of a 1 litre of milk each week yey. Next is making cottage cheese. Made hummus often. I bought an alfalfa farm box from the hardware store. Have seeds too.
It's so decent of you Kim to look after your friend in her time of need. I love all your video's and would love to watch your more detailed one on how you make that meatball gravy, it looks delicious 😋 😍 🇨🇮👍🙏
Like you, I mostly use dry herbs but I was told only to use fresh herbs at the end of cooking, as they lose their flavour during cooking. Dried herbs during fresh at the end or as a garnish, but each to his own
I have a wonderful apron pattern that just pops over your head, is nice and roomy with great pockets. Could I make you one and send it to you? Vegas grandma
My mom makes an amazing gravy too. I tried your recipe with the pork. I told my mom about it. It really is delicious. I also wanted to say that hearing you mix the Lazy man Lasagna is my favorite sound. Makes my mouth water. lol. I'm making that for Easter.
Have you thought of using a cookie scoop to make your meatballs, it keeps them a uniform size and then they cook at the same rate.? Also, did you know that scraping your knife blades on your cutting boards dulls the sharp edge and can even give your blades microscopic Knicks in the blade, instead turn the blade over and use the back of the knife to scrape the food off your cutting board, it's thicker and it won't hurt the blade that way. Your meals looked so yummy and you are the sweetest for helping a friend in that way.
I love making meatloaf and Lipton onion burgers and freezing them (raw) so easy to cook & eat. I’m also working on a recipe for fried rice mix for the freezer too. I don’t like thinking of meals every day so if they are shopped from the freezer it’s so much easier.
my husband and I grind our own Italian sausage. using the grinder attachment for my kitchenaid mixer and prk butt on sale for 99 cents to 1.49 lb. you can buy casings locally or on Amazon. pork fat available at local butcher very reasonably....or you can do just bulk. sweet or hot, recipes are everywhere. great price point, fun time and you know exactly what's in your sausage....
You can’t make it taste like your mom’s because her special ingredient is a touch of her love poured in !❤️I told my grown son that he tried to do a dish l always made him as a kid He says to his wife it doesn’t taste like my mom’s! My grandma too the best hash potatoes when l was a kid!😂👍
Great video! I will be trying some of these for sure! Thank you. One minor thing,I wouldn’t be a Philly girl if I let this pass. A hoagie is a cold sandwich filled with meat/cheese etc. A hoagie roll is almost always used for a cheesesteak, but a cheesesteak is not a hoagie. Philadelphia has the most delicious hoagies and hoagie rolls, but a roll is not a hoagie. We would call it a hoagie roll,or just a roll!
Just an idea...one way to get rid of the acid and also sweeten the sauce is to add whole carrots which can be removed after cooking. The carrots absorbed the acid while sweetening the sauce at the same time.
Kimmy I love that style of apron you had on. I’d love one like that for myself! Always enjoy seeing you feed your family and take such pride in all your cooking. God Bless! ❤️😘

What are some of the go-to meals your family enjoys the most?
My 4 and 8 year old boys love lasagna or anything with pasta. I hide my veggies in there. I love chicken/Salmon with roast potatoes and veg
Some of my go to meals are spaghetti, bbq chicken breast & roasted veggies, chili w/corn bread & fruit, chicken noodle soup & potato soup. Any time there's roast; sandwiches are made from it the 2nd time around.
My family's favorite InstaPot meal is chicken Verde.
4 frozen chicken breasts
1 tsp of paprika
1 tsp of cumin
1 jar of salsa Verde
Set the Pot on Poultry on high for 26 minutes, shred, and serve over beans and rice. My hubby likes me to add "fajita" veggies (peppers and onions).
A new one for my kids is. Chicken doritoz casserole....I save the doritoz for last tho.... cause I have figured out that they get soggy.... & is not good re-heated....
We also like to do shredded chicken quesadillas... & we mix up a big batch of shredded chicken & a big can of green enchilada sauce & mix it together & put into crescent rolls & bake.... very kid friendly....

I can't think of a better way to show someone how much they mean to you and that you truly are THERE and thinking of them. Huge hugs and high 5's from me to you girl! 🥰
Thank you.
I so agree, what a kind and gentle spirit you are, Kimmie! The world needs more like you!
@@shesinherapron you so pretty 😍😍
There's more happiness in giving than in receiving.
I love that you are caring for your friend in need. The way you packaged everything can also be frozen, so if she finds she has too much, she can always use it later. You're so sweet 💞
I like the style of the apron you are wearing. It's much more comfortable without a strap around my neck. And oh my gosh, I love your cute slippers!
Thanks! They were a gift from a sweet friend.
I live in Ireland and was able to buy an apron like Kim's wrap around one, if you can order from Zara it was only £16 !!
Kimmy, try shredding your chicken with your mixer beaters. It's so much faster and it does a great job!
I love how everything in your pantry has a regular recipe tied to it.
Hi Kimmy! I use dry herbs for the long simmering time and THEN add the fresh herbs for the last hour so this way the flavour is more prominent and not bitter, I use your recipe for your tomato sauce and love it, thank you
Great tip! Thank you!
So proud of you for help out friend we need more people like you amen.
Kim have you seen the hack of putting your whole head of garlic in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. Then slice off the end (not root end) and squeeze out your whole garlic cloves. It’s peeled and whole. When you try it please film!! It works.
I will!! Thank you so much!!!!
Wish your friend all the best during whatever challenge he/she is facing right now.
hi Elaine
How are you today?
What a sweet friend you are! I know your friend is beyond grateful!❤️👍🙏
You are very sweet to help your friend out in this way.
You are a great friend to have, I am very much like you that I love to cook for families, it is just me and I love to cook! It is my Ukrainian heritage that I love to make pedahe!
I cook huge batches of piergies (pedahe) then cannelloni, sauce, it's my Ukrainian heritage
You need a garlic press and board scraper. You dull your knives dragging it across the cutting board.
The jar of peppers&veggies in oils is pronounced like Jar -Den-Near. It can also be put on an Italian Sub or served on an antipasto tray.
In my family we always fry or bake our meatballs before adding to our homemade sauce. I'm glad you heard me shout You Forgot the Italian Style Breadcrumbs! And adapted your recipe😁
We pronunce it Jar-Da-Nair-Ah and we buy the huge jars from Costco put it on our Subway sandwiches, pizza, anitpasto. We have Portillos for Italian beefs and dip that bread in the broth. Great Christmas gift for family who moved far and away from the Chicago area.
Another Chicagoan here- we say “jar-din-air” 😅 But I can agree than Portillos is 😋 Buona too!
I use this kitchen hack to shred chicken. I use a hand mixer. Try it next time. It’s quick and easy. Just don’t over mix.
Every person should have a friend like you...blessings to your friend
A great alternative to ricotta cheese if u either can't find it or it's too expensive is cottage cheese. I kno it sounds wierd but trust me, when it's baked, u can't tell a difference
I switched that for homade lasagna and you can't tell the difference.
I blend the cottage cheese with an immersion blender to make it smooth and it’s the perfect substitute.
If you add your garlic when the onion is almost done and then the tomato paste and saute for a minute or so, it removes the raw taste of both the garlic and tomato paste ❤ Going to make some sauce for dinner tomorrow to have over gnocchi so thank you for the inspiration 😀
Thanks for the tip!
Exactly 👍🏻🙂😉
If you are putting sugar in the gravy to cut the acid down, I minced celery and carrots, sauté them in olive oil then I add the garlic, let that cook for a minute then add the canned tomatoes.
My daughter is in 2 sports all year long.So,once a month I do a months worth of meals and freeze them.It is a life saver!!!
Cute slippers!
hi Julie
How are you today?
I love the wrap apron! And I love the idea of it being a little big so you can move around comfortably. Hope you add this to items you make available to us 😍....a pretty floral would be wonderful!
The wrap apron reminds me a lot of the kind that are popular in Japan.
When I saw it I said, "oh she's really IN her apron." I love the style. Really cool.
Good morning Kimmy from our farm in Central Lakes ⛵⛵ New Hampshire! I teach sustainability workshops when I have the time. So encouraged by your videos, showing how to stock a pantry from a meal planning list. We have relied heavily on my pantry since March 2020 for our two farm properties. Not only are we a fair distance from any grocery store , but we also shut the farm down during the pandemic.
Having multiple freezers and shelf space dedicated to dry and canned goods has been a lifesaver for time and budget. I had to give up my part time job in 2020. That money was used for groceries. Kimmy, you are a study in Materials Management. I retired from high tech and learned the min/max concept that works so well for the home.
So kind of you to help a friend. We do the same. We don't have cash, but I can make up food gift baskets and delivered firewood and hay. So many of our neighbors were down with flu and other viruses. They needed a hot meal delivered and sometimes barn work. We raise grass fed beef and asked for help last fall to get the cattle into the barn for the winter. All the best! ~ Diane

What an inspiration you are, not just from your cooking but also by the example of your kindness and generosity to your friend....bless you x
What a very sweet gesture! I’m sure your friend was so grateful. My mouth is watering 🤤
hi Venis
How are you today?
My grandma always wore those kind of aprons. All of them were floral patterns. I wish I had of her aprons.
I need a friend like you! Having someone to cook for me some days would be great.
Those basil plants can be put into your outdoor garden once all danger of frost is gone! I have successfully grown HUGE plants from grocery store basil plants! I use banana pepper rings all the time in both chicken and beef Mississippi roasts, and trust me it turns out super yummy using those too! Just in case you ever need to use a jar in a pinch! 😉 My family go to's are lazy lasagna, homemade pizza's, both chicken and beef enchiladas, taco seasoned meat (we use ground beef, chicken or turkey depending on our mood, lol), a fun dish called Bang Bang chicken (or shrimp), numerous kinds of soups that freeze well!
It's so generous of you to help your friend. After my C-section my husband's boss's wife brought me a lasagna. It was really wonderful. Wish I had planned ahead and was more organized. I'll definitely do it for friends in the future.
I have never seen such an impressive pantry as yours. What an example. Thank you for your channel!!! I am in awe of you.
I love the spaghetti sauce recipe with the pork chops and all the other meats! Yum!
For your lasagna you can use a can of spinach drained for the extra vitamins and if you dont have ricotta cheese you can use cottage cheese.
I think it’s cute that you call enchiladas ..ANCHILADAS!
You are a gem for blessing your friend with that food.
I just happened on this video as I was looking for something else and I’m so glad I did. Some of the meals you’ve made I would never have thought of making. You’re a very organised lady and certainly know how to cook the easy way even though the prep is time consuming. I will now be following you so I can enjoy some of your recipes.

Hi Kimmy.What a blessing you have been to me.I have learned so much from your vlogs.God bless you and yours.I love you sweetheart.🥰🙏♥️
I just wish I had the money to have a stocked pantry room like this…amazing.
I hope you have a friend that will be this good to you! Everyone of us desperately needs a break once in a while and I'm sure your friend and her family will enjoy these delicious freezer meals!
Wish everyone a friend like you 🙏🏽

I can't believe that. Are they done enough? Is your sauce watery? I have watched countless cooking shows and never seen or heard that before.
@@lorrainefloyd9845 Yes, they are perfectly done. Not soggy at all. Not watery, either. I add about 1/4-1/2 cup of extra water to my sauce and it turns out fine. Depends on your sauce.
I hate trying to fill Cooked shells! I can’t wait to try your way, thanks for sharing!

Omg "La cow" 😂too funny
😂
😋 Such a sweet friend Kimmy.🥰🤗
My husband bought me an apron like that for Christmas a few years ago. It is my FAV!
What a blessing you are to your friend! So sweet! ❤
Prayers for your friend. Hope all is well... 🙏❤🙏

I cannot wait til my kids are older and actually enjoy all the food I make 😛 thanks for this video, great as always, so inspirational. x
Please do more of these cook until you drop videos. They are great. I accept all food donations.

Holy jeepers your pantry is huge, so lucky xo
I need a wrap apron...can't stand the pressure on my neck due to arthritis. I have found a few online but so expensive, because I am hard on them
I just think that you are the sweetest and I love watching you and learning from you. Also, I LOVE those lips slippers! So CUTE ☺️
I love shells stuffed with a mixture of taco meat and refried beans then topped with enchilada sauce and cheddar cheese. Super delicious.
That sounds yummy!
I'm adding my sentiment along with many who have expressed it here ... how touched I am with your gifting of the delicious meals to your friend. These are major meals too. This is love, for sure. May God bless.
You are a trooper! Just the way you keep cooking, you are amazing and your fast. Thank you. You give me incentive to cook and freeze meals to use during the week to feed my boys and me. ❤️

You have the cutest personality. Really enjoying your channel. So glad it popped up so I could discover you.
Thank you!
Your friend is very lucky to have you as a true friend. Your meals look great and wonderful 👍
I wish I had a friend like you when I got sick and was down for a few months. Keep on cooking, don’t ever stop
I save my sausage grease in a jar to use later for sausage gravy and homemade biscuits. Never ever toss that yummy goodness.
Hi. Just discovered your great chanel. Greetings from the Highlands of Scotland. Fabulous videos. 🏴
I don't buy the jars of minced garlic either. For some reason, it just looks weird to me. I'm of Italian descent like you and so fresh garlic is one of the best scents in the world! 😋
We call that type of apron a smock. I love it it looks thick and sturdy
You're such a kind person and a good friend. All of these meals look so good.
for some reason your videos relax me and off course make me wanna cook 😊
I'm so glad!
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your videos! So many ideas, it’s so easy for us to get stuck in our own recipes, it’s inspiring.

I made a container of yoghurt yesterday and will continue to do so, for the cost of a 1 litre of milk each week yey. Next is making cottage cheese. Made hummus often. I bought an alfalfa farm box from the hardware store. Have seeds too.
It's so decent of you Kim to look after your friend in her time of need. I love all your video's and would love to watch your more detailed one on how you make that meatball gravy, it looks delicious 😋 😍 🇨🇮👍🙏
Like you, I mostly use dry herbs but I was told only to use fresh herbs at the end of cooking, as they lose their flavour during cooking. Dried herbs during fresh at the end or as a garnish, but each to his own
Those all look delicious! What a kind and giving friend you are!
It was so sweet of you to do this for your friend going thru a hard time which I bet will brighten up her day little … sending prayers hugs 🤗
That’s such a beautiful thing you have done for your friend! Love the apron also x
I have a wonderful apron pattern that just pops over your head, is nice and roomy with great pockets. Could I make you one and send it to you? Vegas grandma
My mom makes an amazing gravy too. I tried your recipe with the pork. I told my mom about it. It really is delicious. I also wanted to say that hearing you mix the Lazy man Lasagna is my favorite sound. Makes my mouth water. lol. I'm making that for Easter.
Have you thought of using a cookie scoop to make your meatballs, it keeps them a uniform size and then they cook at the same rate.?
Also, did you know that scraping your knife blades on your cutting boards dulls the sharp edge and can even give your blades microscopic Knicks in the blade, instead turn the blade over and use the back of the knife to scrape the food off your cutting board, it's thicker and it won't hurt the blade that way.
Your meals looked so yummy and you are the sweetest for helping a friend in that way.
I love making meatloaf and Lipton onion burgers and freezing them (raw) so easy to cook & eat. I’m also working on a recipe for fried rice mix for the freezer too. I don’t like thinking of meals every day so if they are shopped from the freezer it’s so much easier.
Good Morning family 🌅 and Happy Sunday 😊
Good morning!
I’m definitely trying some of these recipes! Love your apron but that organized pantry is perfection!
Great looking meals. Bless your heart Tiffany🙏 your a Awesome friend to make meals for your friend during a difficult time🤗
my husband and I grind our own Italian sausage. using the grinder attachment for my kitchenaid mixer and prk butt on sale for 99 cents to 1.49 lb. you can buy casings locally or on Amazon. pork fat available at local butcher very reasonably....or you can do just bulk. sweet or hot, recipes are everywhere.
great price point, fun time and you know exactly what's in your sausage....
You can’t make it taste like your mom’s because her special ingredient is a touch of her love poured in !❤️I told my grown son that he tried to do a dish l always made him as a kid He says to his wife it doesn’t taste like my mom’s! My grandma too the best hash potatoes when l was a kid!😂👍
Great video! I will be trying some of these for sure! Thank you. One minor thing,I wouldn’t be a Philly girl if I let this pass. A hoagie is a cold sandwich filled with meat/cheese etc. A hoagie roll is almost always used for a cheesesteak, but a cheesesteak is not a hoagie. Philadelphia has the most delicious hoagies and hoagie rolls, but a roll is not a hoagie. We would call it a hoagie roll,or just a roll!
Your”gravy” looks amazing! I’m going to try adding meats to my sauce next time I make it.
I love your apron! I can't wait to try some of these recipes. Prayers for your friend. ❤️
Thank you so much!
Just an idea...one way to get rid of the acid and also sweeten the sauce is to add whole carrots which can be removed after cooking. The carrots absorbed the acid while sweetening the sauce at the same time.
Kimmy I love that style of apron you had on. I’d love one like that for myself! Always enjoy seeing you feed your family and take such pride in all your cooking. God Bless! ❤️😘
