    A tip I learned from my grandmother is when you want to use fresh ginger just peel it (you can easily take the skin off with a spoon) and use however much you need and then pop the remaining ginger in a baggie and stick it in the freezer. It stays good for months and months and when you want to use some just take it out and use a handheld grater and it’s like ginger snow!

    Finally, someone else who agrees chicken doesn't need to cook for 6-8 hours in the crockpot!! I've been saying that for so long!! I cook my chicken for 3-4 hours & it comes out perfect every 👏 single 👏 time! And yes those tiquitos are delicious dipped in nacho cheese 🤤!!

    Oh my gosh you are the first person I've watched to add coleslaw to your hot dog! My family loves them that way! I am from the south where there used to be a fast food place called Wiener King and they made the "Wiener King special", a chili cheese hotdog with coleslaw. I've made them for my family for years - they are delicious! Thanks :D

    We love taquitos in our house. I make one of the hamburger helpers, Crunchy Taco or Cheese Enchilada. For the sides I make taquitos or quesadillas, with a side of refried beans and tortilla chips.
    My kids love when I make it.

    I found a seasoning mix from Mandy in the Making. You take olive oil, s&p, ranch seasoning and shaky Parmesan cheese. She used it on Brussel sprouts and then air fried them and omg it’s amazing but I’ve put it on asparagus, little red potatoes like you used, broccoli and roasted it. It’s so good!

    I also found the brioche hot dog buns at Walmart. They are my favorite. I top my hot dogs, hamburgers, breaded chicken patties, and fish sandwiches with cole slaw. I make mine the same as you, only I add onion (I don't have small children). Grating the vegetables make the best cole slaw.

    We love the Johnsonville sausage brats. They are so good. I usually put them in a casserole dish with a can of sauerkraut over the top and bake for about an hour in the oven. We serve them in a hotdog bun with mustard and the cooked sauerkraut and usually make sweet potato fries in the air fryer with them. It’s a family favorite.

    If you like chicken and dumplings, but like you said they are time consuming try this recipe. Get lipton soup mix and make according to box. Mix one egg in 1 1/2 cups of flour. Drop spoonfuls in boiling water, and scrape extra flour from bowl and cook til noodles are done. Rivals take about five minutes.

    @johnarosser6400 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree about the long cook times for the crock pot. I made the meatball recipe with jelly and bbq sauce. Had to throw the whole pot out because the meatballs were way overcooked. I know now on any recipe to back them cook times up and check a few hours before. All your recipes look so good!! Yummy!!

    The only thing I do differently for my chicken and dumplings is I use homemade bone broth you can make in the instant pot, so easy and cheaper than buying store bought broth. At the end I add a little heavy cream and it is so good. The homemade bone broth honestly makes a big difference and it adds more protein.

    I so much enjoy your posts especially the day before grocery day. Unfortunately, I don't think the dumplings will work for my family. My Mom made them when I was younger and didn't enjoy them. Having said that, I REALLY enjoy your ideas and what I made from your posts have gone over well. Keep up the great work!
