    I plan all meals around what needs to be used that I have in fridge. Leftovers are the next days lunch and anything else gets vacuum sealed and frozen for sometime in near future for thaw and warm up meal. We have next to none food waste. But love your ideals on lunches.

    I love your no spend weeks. It helps us all to be creative! I have realized during my Jan/Feb pantry challenge that I miss shopping. I don't NEED anything, but I see so many things online I WANT. Big difference. I have been window shopping on Instacart and then not actually buying the stuff! I know that's weird, but it's like shopping without shopping! Almost 55,000subs! Woo hoo🥳🥳🥳

    Stuff looks great! Best pantry thing I did recently was cornbread, cooked meat/onions, cheese, and salsa. DH called it a concoction and we gobbled it right up. Used up the last pkg of cornbread mix, the cooked meat/onions, some cheese, and the last of a LARGE bottle (why did I buy one that big?) bottle of salsa verde...

    I've accumulated a lot of sale food recently and things are getting tight in the freezer and pantry. Thanks for the inspo for a prep weekend! (Also I do the roasted veggies thing too and sometimes I pop them in the blender and freeze in an ice cube tray and pop them into things like Mac and cheese or sketti sauce for extra veggie servings!)

  • @Hasenkind1

    WOW! I never knew that you could steam eggs! That is so much easier than boiling them on the stove! Thanks for the info!

    • @beckstem9838
      @beckstem9838 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I always steam my eggs! I just use a regular pot with a tight fitting lid and about a 1/2 an inch of water. Bring to a boil, put the eggs right in the water, turn down to a a low boil put the lid on. Steam at a a low boil for 10-15 minutes, depending on how done you want the yolks. I steam my eggs for 10 minutes because I like my yolks to be translucent/jam like in the center. Cool as you would with boiled eggs and store in the fridge. Bonus - steamed eggs are always easy to peel.

    I try to meal plan consistently in the beginning of the week. Sometimes I do follow it. But lately I have a lot of meat and keep frozen veggies on hand then some main spices or sides like rice. And condensed soups. I try to shop in my kitchen most of the time. I've wasted a lot of produce changing my meals.

    @hartsheart ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I always cook the food that needs he higher temp on the bottom rack and the one that needs the lower temp on the top rack and put the temp of the oven in the middle. Like with your chicken and potatoes I would had the oven at 375 and chicken on top and potatoes on bottom. Because the bottom rack is closer to the heat source...

Thanks for all the great uses of kitchen country appliances. We all have these things and I think that sometimes I forget to use them. A few spots dealing with all air fryer, IP, crockpot. Electric frying pan, etc would be great.

    Thanks for the time and effort you put into making these videos. This one inspired me to process, cook, and freeze all of the stuff that was about to go off in my kitchen. I ended up with roasted sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, caramelized onions, and chicken, plus plain potatoes and lentils for the dog. It only took an hour or so since everything was cooking and being prepped at once.
    While watching, I noticed that you tossed your vegetable trimmings. You might try saving them with any chicken bones in a gallon-sized bag in the freezer. When it gets full, toss them into the crockpot or in a deep pot with water to make stock. It requires very little effort and can cook while you do other things.
