We are gearing up to do a food ministry through our church. It’s our responsibility to pick up a bag from the food pantry, come up with dinner menus for a week, purchase additional necessary food and deliver to a student to take home. This is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you!
That is a cool way of serving!
What a fantastic idea!
Bless you for this!!!!
Such a beautiful idea! I do this for a few neighbors, but I can only do 3 days. But they appreciate it
Awesome idea! Most people just don't know what to do with what they have! Recently used leftover mashed potatoes to make potato cakes.. which served as a hasbrown substitute for breakfast for dinner!
Yes please keep doing the 20 Ingredients capsule meal plans as it is really helpful especially in the economical climate and eventually people will have a large list of recipes without food boredom! Four seasonal capsule meal plans would be helpful, thanks for all you do!
This would be a great idea for vacation. When you stay in a condo with a full kitchen and need to be able to cook delicious meals without buying an entire pantry.
Mindy, I say this with so much affection: you nerd! I love that you did this project. Your enthusiasm about this concept is so delightful and infectious. I think this is an amazing idea! Along with budgeting, I think it could be so useful in training yourself how to use food you already have on hand so that you don't let it languish in your cabinets and fridge. If people are stocking their kitchen with the same limited number of ingredients most weeks, and you know the ingredients can work together to make over 20 recipes, it's encouraging to use what you have on hand before it spoils. Learning how to bring ingredients together like you do in your pantry cooking videos is really skill that some people might have a knack for, but it can be learned with a great demonstration like this one. Congratulations on completing this project! I hope you feel really proud about what you've accomplished.
Ah, thanks so much Stephanie! I really appreciate the encouragement. I tell my daughter all the time, "nerds rule the world" 😉 so I definitely take that as a compliment! And yes, it's the teacher in me that gets excited about a good lesson plan. LOL!
Yes!
This is exactly what I needed! Planning on saving as much as I can to afford nice summer activities with my kid! You're a life saver!
Please make more versions! I love this idea!
Thanks, Aimee! I'm already thinking about the next one. :)
Yes please to more capsule menus. Weeklong or 10 days plans would be awesome.
Great idea! I see so many crazy dinner meals on the internet with one time use ingredients. And you took us back to the basics like my mom cooked my whole childhood 🥰 thank you 😊
Thank you! That was my idea. I kept it pretty simple with this one with lots of meals my mom made our large family and that my family also likes. :)
I love this idea!!! I would be very interested in seeing more of your capsule ideas in the future🙂
YES!!!!! Exactly. Love this
This is AMAZING! If you could ever do a vegetarian version (no meat) that would be awesome! Meat is so expensive by us right now.
I'm teaching basic skills at the library once a month. We are learning about meal planning for October. Capsule meal plans like this are so helpful for people just learning. And by changing the pasta to rice I have a dozen different meals easily. Thank you.
I would love one with vegan/whole foods. But these are great ideas!
Yes! These are great ideas but would love to see whole foods and more fruits and vegetables.
This is a fantastic idea!!! I’d love to see another, maybe a series! Also I’d love to see how you do your own cream of chicken 😊
Thanks, Brittany! I’m already working on another. 😊
Cream of soup is very easy to make. 2T each butter and flour (I use rice flour because I need a GF sub). Melt butter in pan and whisk in flour. Cook for 30 seconds or so. When all bubbly, whisk in 1-2 C milk depending on the consistency you want. Season with a little chicken bullion powder and salt and pepper to taste. For mushroom soup sauté some chopped mushrooms in the butter (I usually use a little extra butter) before adding the flour. Then leave out the chicken bullion.
@@cheriellis9215 Thank you so much for this. Have been trying to learn how to make both of these. We cut up mushrooms and freeze them so we have them on hand. Yay!
Yes! Two weeks of cheap and delicious dinners. Please do more of these. If I could shop every 2 weeks and have a plan, that will be life changing. We actually have every ingredient on the plan except sour cream because I ran out.
If you have plain yogurt, it should work instead of the sour cream.
This is JUST what I needed! Living on a fixed income and have been desperate on a way to minimize my grocery bill but maximize my meals. Thank you for the code! This capsule ebook is a lifesaver!! ❤
I would love to see more of these! If your family eats cabbage, that’s an ingredient I’d be interested in seeing you include… it is very healthy and often on sale for very cheap, but as a single person it’s very stressful to try to use an entire cabbage!
Cabbage is a perfect staple for every household - even for singles. It is so versatile and you can easily use it instead of salad, put it in stews and soups or as a simple side either raw or fermented. Fermented it keeps forever :)
@@laifnow My main weakness when it comes to cabbage is that I don’t like coleslaw, haha. I have accumulated a number of good cabbage recipes at this point, but I am always looking for more to ensure variety. Which is why, if Mindy is interested, I’d love to see her take!
I absolutely love cabbage, and as a one-person household it's become a grocery staple. I use it in place of lettuce all the time -- on sandwiches and in salads -- and I love that it's crunchier, more flavorful and more nutritious. I also routinely toss it into soups and other hot dishes. I always felt bad, though, if I couldn't use up a whole head or bag of it before it started to turn, but then a couple of years ago I learned you can just stick chopped cabbage in the freezer. You don't even have to cook it first. Defrosted, it's perfect for adding to soups or other cooked dishes with no loss in flavor. So now I have my fresh stash in the fridge for salads and sandwiches and my freezer stash for soups and other hot dishes.
@@freefoodchef7939 thank you for the freezer tip! Also you can use whole leafs as wraps if you leave them ten minutes in salted water to soften :)
@@laifnow You're very welcome, and I appreciate your tip about how to soften whole leaves to make wraps. I love wraps, but have normally made them with those big tortilla type wraps, and then it makes too bulky a sandwich for my appetite. Plus cabbage wraps wouldn't have to be just for sandwiches, since they could be used for baked cabbage rolls. Yum! 😋
I really can’t understand why you don’t have a MILLION subscribers!! This is great info
thank you!
Probably my my most favorite TH-cam video ever !
A menu capsule ! How brilliant !
This would be a wonderful and practical gift printed placed in a binder with some of the homemade seasoning ideas for a gift !
More more more of these please Mindy !
One thing I do is use one protein for the week. Every meal is based in that 1 protein. This is an awesome idea! Please 🙏 keep it going.
Awesome concept! Would love to see a low carb capsule meal plan. Thank-you for all the great ideas!!!
Love, love, love! When I got to the 8 minute mark, I thought an ebook would be great, then you announced it & I cannot tell you how excited I was! This is so perfect, I have these exact ingredients stocked in my home at all times. I know this will help so many people. I would love to see more of these.
Thank you Mindy!!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Angel!
This is awesome! This is how I shop every month!
I’d love to see you try a vegetarian one! Or maybe one specific to each store like “aldi capsule meal plan” or “while foods capsule meal plan”!
Great video. Just ordered the ebook. Glad to be adding it to my library. I love how easy you make it for these meals. What a great idea. Would love to see another one in the future
I'd love to see more of these as well! This is such a huge help, and a very different way to present ideas! Thank you so much for all the hard work and planning that I know went into this!🥰
Such a great concept! Would love to see more videos like this! I love that you are using the same ingredients again and again throughout the week because it not only makes it affordable but also great for meal prep. As always, I'm super impressed!!
I love this concept! I want to see more. I would also like this as a series with different weekly meal plans from the same set of 20 ingredients.
This was such a blessing!you have such a gift of making things practical and simple.your videos always inspire me to do more with less.i too want to be a better steward over my grocery budget,and this month,I'm going to utilize this,thank you so much ❣️
Oh my goodness love love love this…would love another one with different ingredients! What an amazing idea, thank you for sharing this and all the hard work that goes into this I truly appreciate it!!
Congratulations Mindy on this awesome capsule cookbook project! It’s such a great idea. I love your channel and all the inspiration it has given me over the years. As a homemaker trying to come up with new meals to make my Husband and Son I really appreciate all you do. I’m so happy to be a part of this community. ❤️
Bought the e-booklet! Amazing! This is such a great idea. I always buy the same things so I’m going to make a list to inspire me - given my chosen staples. More! More! Looking forward to this as a series!
I just downloaded the ebook!!! I can't wait. A lot of the ingredients are things I usually have on hand so this is great for me! Thank you for putting in the hard work to offer it to us
I would love to see another video like this one! Everything looked delicious! I can't wait to try these new recipes! Thank you for sharing!
What an awesome concept. I can tell you put a lot of work into this. Thanks for keeping things simple and relatable. I love that you always include protein in your meals. There are already so many vegetarian/vegan channels I appreciate seeing everyday food for busy families. I’d love to see more of this!
What a wonderful video! Thank you for taking the time to come up with this! I'd love to see another one with healthy whole food recipe options too. It's hard to budget and eat healthy so a healthy meal capsule would be awesome.
Love this concept! It’s great to have in my back pocket when I’m too tapped to meal plan for the week, I know if I have these 20 ingredients I can plug and play with your guide from there!
I love this, thank you. I am one who is on a tight budget and this is a huge help,, I would love to see more!! Thank you for the hard work you put into this!
Your content and recipes are very practical for all types of families and I appreciate that. I would like to see more of the Capsule Meal Plans, I've been in a dinner rut for awhile! I purchased my Capsule Meal Plan and look forward to bringing some fresh meals to my family! Thank you!
I can’t thank you enough for your hard work that results in gifts to help us stretch our dollars. Would love to see more capsule plans!! Thanks again!!
Congratulations Mindy on this great project! I’m excited for you and I can’t wait to have an actual printed copy of these capsule meals 🌻 what a great idea! 🤓☀️
Love this idea. It’s great for this everyday pantry cook. These are all items we usually have in our pantry so it perfect. Thanks for the variety and new ideas. I’d love another list with different items.
LOVE THIS! So helpful! Yes to more capsule meal plans and I’m so excited about the cookbook!
thank you so much for all your ideas. I love this. I have watched many of your videos and have gotten great ideas from them. I have changed the way i shop and meal plan thanks to your great ideas. Trying to cut down on waste, especially with the price of food now too. thank you for your hard work. God bless you and your family.
I smell from my kitchen one of your crockpot soup recipes that is cooking for tonight’s supper. Great ideas in this video and love the idea of what to make with limited ingredients. Glad it also has some crockpot suggestions.
They need to offer this as a class in high school or college!
I loved this and would LOVE to see more like it. I'm always busy cooking, shopping, prepping, and cleaning with my family of 6! These and all of your other videos are very helpful!
This is such an awesome idea!! I bought it with my son in mind who will be off to college in a couple of years!! I, too, hope to benefit from it by having to manage less inventory as my ingredients will need to be less. :) I hope you create more! thank you!!!
I'm new to your channel but, I love what I have seen so far! I would love to see more videos like this one. I got your ebook and can't wait to try some of your recipes. They sound and look amazing! This video made me really really hungry! Thank you for the ebook!
Ok, LOVE your coffee mug! Thanks for the video. You always get my creative cooking juices flowing!
This is great for me, as I’m single and detest grocery shopping/meal planning. I put in a pick up order and this will be my meal plan for the next couple of weeks. You are a life saver!!!
This is a fantastic idea!! Will definitely add this cookbook to my collection!!
Yes! Love the idea of capsule grocery shopping.
thank you!
Mindy! This is an AMAZING idea! I love this idea so much! I’m definitely going to give it a try. I vote YES to move of these!!!
Just bought the ebook! I absolutely LOVE your videos. I watch them during my lunch hour at work. You are so kind, funny, and have such great ideas! Looking forward to your next one!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad I can give some ideas here and there. :)
I love this idea and would enjoy more capsule meal plans like this. I think it will help me save money and not scramble to decide what’s for dinner each night!
Love this!! Helps me help my son in college so much!! Please keep them coming!!
You are a pro!! Love these ideas. I also enjoy seeing what I can make with a few things on hand. Such a neat challenge ! Thank you for sharing 🙂 God bless!
I love this idea and think it would be great to use to simplify things during the busy days between November & December!
I love this Mindy! As empty nesters we like to cook less and keep it simple while my daughter and her young family can really use these ideas to help budget and not get overwhelmed! You are always a joy to watch ☺️
I would love another capsule ingredient cooking list. This is fantastic! Really helping us stick to a budget to help us save for increasing costs at the holidays.
This came at the perfect time for me! Just finished printing out your ebook and can’t wait to try some of these yummy recipes!😊
Thank you, Audra! I hope it's helpful! :)
This is excellent! Thank you for your hard work on this project. I would love to see another capsule.
What a great idea! So excited to try this out. I would love to see another version.
Hi there! I love your channel and love this capsule meal plan! I can’t wait to make a meal plan for my family! I would definitely like to see another one!
I've decided 2023 is going to be a year of health! I love watching cooking videos online but making them all does nothing for my figure lol.
I would genuinely love to watch what you would eat for a week, including your serving sizes. I know this has changed a bit since you finished ww.
Everything here looks great!
Love, love, LOVE this concept! I'd really love to see more versions with different ingredients in the future...
Love this. How about a meatless meal capsule plan?
Oooh, girl. This ebook is awesome for me. And I love the style of the menu planners. Thank you!!
This is my absolute favorite videos of yours. Thank you so much for all of the information and suggestions!
I recall learning in the early ‘70’s. Perhaps ‘71. From a textbook written, I’m sure from the ‘50’s or ‘60’s, a recipe called Master Mix. Think of today, as compared to Bisquick or a store brand, of such. I think that’s helpful to todays crazy food prices. Happy cooking, & Baking!
I absolutely love this idea!!! Mindy you are a GENIUS! Thank you so much for sharing your brain babies with the world so often! God bless you!
Thanks, Jessica!
I have been into capsule wardrobe for a long time having so much trouble trying to figure out my pantry rotating it etc. this is a fabulous idea thank you so much
What a great idea! It’s always a great idea to find new meals to make with the items you have on hand all the time. I recently heard someone say they don’t meal plan or go to the store to just buy one thing for a recipe. They look at what they have in the house and make a meal based on those items. This falls right in that line & helps with making meals with items you have on hand.
My family and me truly enjoy your extreme and basic budget planning meal videos. It has saved us at times when money was tight and with the increased food prices it helps to substitute these meals in a week to help bring cost down. We just recently went from a family of four to a family of three and I have struggled meal planning since. My oldest is off to college so any way we can save some money but still have good meals I am all for it it. Please keep making more! I appreciate what you do. God bless you!
I love the idea of a capsule meal plan! More videos please!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I LOVED THIS. I have an almost two year old and feeding the two of us is still so expensive somehow. But I've been doing it all wrong!! A capsule meal plan is affordable and practical especially for busy parents. I absolutely would LOVEEEE to see more of these videos. Such a great idea and your presentation of all the meals is wonderful Mindy. Thank you!
I would love to see more of your capsule meals.
Thanks, Paula! I’m already thinking about the next one! 😊
Perfect video idea Mindy! This is my plan and the way I cook every month but I'm pretty sure its more then 20 ingredients for me. Thx for a great video🌸
Thanks, Kelli!
Yes, I like this video a lot.
I would definitely like to see everything, every meal, step by step. You are an inspiration and I feel I’m missing out
If to long, you can make it a series (playlist) that will be awesome
What a great idea! YES! Please make more capsule menu plans!
Just downloaded it. Thanks so much for doing this and sharing it with us. Can’t wait to get cooking!
This feels like your thesis, Mindy! So much work went into this meal plan. Thank you for the inspiration!
Haha! That’s a good analogy!
What a fantastic idea! This will be a big time and money saver. Thank you, Mindy!
Thanks, Kimberly! I really appreciate that!
Mindy does it again! Love your recipes!
Thanks, Paula!
I love the simplicity of this. Going to fix the pasta dish tonight!
Great video, great ideas.
I like the mug holding aspect, it's homely and makes you seem like you're talking with friends!
LOVE your videos. I love that you know what is realistic when you have kids. You aren't telling us 'hey, this is so easy! it only takes 3 hands-on hours and 400 ingredients!'. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to see another video like this one.
haha! So true. Lord knows I don't usually have 3 hands-on hours to cook, and I certainly don't have the patience for 400 ingredients! Thanks, Christi! :)
Love this! I essentially do this without thinking of it as a capsule idea. This was so helpful!!
I absolutely love this style of video, it’s great to have these ideas for gift boxes for families in need! You did an amazing job and I would love to see more videos like this. Also the ebook isa wonderful idea, I will print it and add it to my Christmas gift boxes for a few families in need. This will be wonderful ideas for gifts,
Wow! This is how I’ve always (unintentionally) cooked and shopped and meal planned! 😮 Thank you for giving it a name and streamlining it 😂 Super cool!
Very good planning and ideas, good tips with the green chili chicken and the peach crumble, I used the whole package and never thought of dividing it, now i can and have 2 with different fruit and instead of melting the butter now I can make the crumble with it. Thank you!
I like the idea of the capsule menu plan. I would be glad to see more.
This concept is so smart! I’m all about minimal ingredient meals and I try to plan my meals around a certain number of ingredients for the week that way I’m not wasting anything. It keeps costs low while still providing amazing dinners. Thanks Mindy! ❤
Smart! Way to go!
This is such a lovely idea. I’m super impressed!
Absolutely love this idea, will save money and time. Your list is a great start and am sure I will tweak it from there.
I LOVE this video! Thank you, please do more!
I usually watch youtube at 150%....that did not sound like bucket list when sped up!! Looking forward to checking out this video. It sounds amazing
I found this capsule cooking very intriguing. I would like to see more videos like this. Especially recipe that are freezer friendly.
I like to think I inspired this video by DMing you my capsule cart idea a while back 🥰 it's such a good way to work your kitchen and your budget!
I love the capsule idea! We buy in bulk a lot and it would so great to rotate these sort of plans!
Thanks, Sara! I plan to do more of these. 😊
I love your idea. We will be meal planning this weekend.
Love the capsule idea. Yes more please.
More to come!
I love this! Capsules eliminate decision fatigue, and I think you have accomplished that here. Purchased and can’t wait to start!
Thanks, Ashley! I hope it's helpful. :)
