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.
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.
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 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!
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 😀
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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'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.
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
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 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. 🏴🇬🇧
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 !
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!!!
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!
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 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.
If you want to keep from wiping your hands on your apron, tuck a kitchen towel into that big pocket and let it hang out a bit. Then use that to wipe your hands on. That's what I do 😊 When I'm thinking!
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 LOVE the apron! I love how it wraps. I think that is the perfect size. It covers all of your clothes and it's not restricting. I'm getting to the point that I don't like wearing my aprons with the "around the neck" part.
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.
Got to love make ahead meals. Pasta bakes (like your lazy man lasagne without cheese in the sauce as I cannot have dairy). Toad in the hole is great and cottage pie. My kids would eat sausage and mash every day! My husband loves when I make ahead chilli. Especially if I put left overs over a jacket potato with cheese.
I grew my own basil for the first time last year. . . and I must say. . . I WILL NEVER GO BACK! LOL. . I dried them, and put them in mason jars and have been using them all year long. . time to grow more this year and do the same. . They taste, and smell SOOOO much better! What a GREAT thing you're doing for your friend! They are very blessed to have you in their lives :)
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.
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 😋 😍 🇨🇮👍🙏
What a lovely thing to do for a friend who needs a helping hand.I`m sure these yummy looking meals will go down especially well ,knowing they were made with loving care.Take care of you too ,there`s nothing as nice as watching somebody do a good deed.💕
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.
WOW! I watched from beginning to end. What a great friend you are. ❤️ i saved thai video because i NEED to make every single recipe! Thank you so much.
Hi. I am enjoying your video. Glad to see how kind you are to friend who needs it. I have used the 2 fork shred method for chicken too, but found out that if you put your cooked chicken breasts in a big bowl, you can shred it with an electric mixer. It’s fast and easy. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks for sharing your way of working food storage and recipes.
Lasagna is a freezer meal for us. I make homemade pasta sauce as well and try to have a lot of that on hand. I like to make hamburgers to freeze as well. I use my dad's recipe. It's almost like him meatloaf so to have them pattied up and frozen is a great time saver for me. Thanks for all the recipes and meal ideas.

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....

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 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 !!
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 💞
Wish your friend all the best during whatever challenge he/she is facing right now.
hi Elaine
How are you today?
So proud of you for help out friend we need more people like you amen.
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!
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.
What a sweet friend you are! I know your friend is beyond grateful!❤️👍🙏
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!!!!
You are very sweet to help your friend out in this way.
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!!!
Every person should have a friend like you...blessings to your friend
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.

Another Chicagoan here- we say “jar-din-air” 😅 But I can agree than Portillos is 😋 Buona too!
What a blessing you are to your friend! So sweet! ❤
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
What a very sweet gesture! I’m sure your friend was so grateful. My mouth is watering 🤤
hi Venis
How are you today?
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
You are a gem for blessing your friend with that food.
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.
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.
Wish everyone a friend like you 🙏🏽
I need a friend like you! Having someone to cook for me some days would be great.

Prayers for your friend. Hope all is well... 🙏❤🙏
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.
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.

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.
Hello friend from outside Chicago! It’s pronounced “garden” like plant a garden….”air” like fresh air! Love your channel!
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.
Thank you
So glad you showed the Lazy Lasagna. Great idea, looks real good.
😋 Such a sweet friend Kimmy.🥰🤗
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!
Good Morning family 🌅 and Happy Sunday 😊
Good morning!
My husband bought me an apron like that for Christmas a few years ago. It is my FAV!
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.
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!
You need a garlic press and board scraper. You dull your knives dragging it across the cutting board.
You're such a kind person and a good friend. All of these meals look so good.
Beautiful friend you are. God Bless you.
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.🥰🙏♥️
What a great friend you are 💕
for some reason your videos relax me and off course make me wanna cook 😊
I'm so glad!
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 👍

Yes! My gravy is very different than this. My great grandparents were from Naples and immigrated to Philadelphia.

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 LOVE the apron! I love how it wraps. I think that is the perfect size. It covers all of your clothes and it's not restricting. I'm getting to the point that I don't like wearing my aprons with the "around the neck" part.
Hi. Just discovered your great chanel. Greetings from the Highlands of Scotland. Fabulous videos. 🏴
We call that type of apron a smock. I love it it looks thick and sturdy
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.

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.

Thank you so much!
I just wish I had the money to have a stocked pantry room like this…amazing.
Lasagna is a freezer meal for us. I make homemade pasta sauce as well and try to have a lot of that on hand. I like to make hamburgers to freeze as well. I use my dad's recipe. It's almost like him meatloaf so to have them pattied up and frozen is a great time saver for me. Thanks for all the recipes and meal ideas.
