BUDGET MEALS to CLEAN OUT the KITCHEN // SEEMINDYMOM PANTRY CHALLENGE NOVEMBER 2020
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ต.ค. 2024
- I'm trying to cook budget meals this week by using up what's already in my fridge and pantry. It's always a money-saver to delay a trip to the grocery store and clean out the kitchen!

Real-life skills...use what you have. I could probably feed myself and my hubs for about a month on the food that we have in the house. Thanks for the inspiration. Gotta take inventory and get busy planning menus. What a great way to start a new year. I will need to track meals for WW Purple tracking as well.
Those extra salad dressings would make a great marinade for chicken!!
Funny you say that, Gabrielle, because I thought of that as I was rewatching this footage during editing! That might be why I bought that Italian dressing to begin with, during grilling season! :)
Yes I love using dressings as marinade...especially the Italian
@@SeeMindyMom Italian dressing over onions, peppers, mushrooms (any veggie really!) and chicken in the oven makes a really yummy and easy dish too if its too cold to grill! We grew up eating it over rice and loved it.
I love seeing these pantry/fridge/freezer challenges! I also love how you gave a quick glance of what your fridge looked like afterwards! That’s gotta be so satisfying see the excess dwindle down! You gave some great ideas that I will be using! Thanks for this video!
Thanks so much! And yes! I get a weird satisfaction from using up the ends of stuff and seeing my pantry and fridge cleaned out. 😊
Your creativity blows me away! I think I’ll start sending you a list of stuff I have to get rid of and you can tell me what to do with it! Lol. Thanks, Mindy. Another great video.
haha, Sheila! I had never thought of starting a "pantry clean out consulting" business...LOL! :)
@@SeeMindyMom I think it would be profitable
I love the “fly by the seat of my pants” approach to cooking - I am often the same!
Are you sure that you and Frugal Fit Mom aren't the same person? Haha.
You know...I get that a lot! 😂 I have watched her for about a year and a half now, since she had around 15K subscribers, I think. So I take it as high praise! 😊
I need to be a better steward. Thank you for reminding me. I really needed it!
You got this!
Advent CHEESE calendar?!?? Omg, that's too cool. I don't think we have that in Canada. I wish!
It's so sweet how you let your kids pick what they want on their birthday!!! Luv it
I've always done that
Clothespin bag clips FTW!! Exactly what I use too, LOL
No need to be so hard on yourself! You crushed that! Nice work, I’m super impressed!
Some of our best meals are made with odds and ends.
Michelle, ours, too! And it’s like a bonus because we aren’t expecting it! So we enjoy it even more. 😂
Yes, those Po man meals be the best meals
Sometimes I think of you as a genius 😊. You've trained family right to eat what you prepare
I really loved seeing you come up with recipes using random ingredients. It was so inspiring.
I have been watching your videos for a little bit now. I just subscribed. I absolutely love love your videos! I don't even remember how I found you but I am seriously so glad I did.
I love doing the mock KFC bowls. One of my favorite meals. The gravy is actually REALLY good on it. But I use the jarred gravy because I can't be bothered to even do the packet...lol
we have several months of food in the pantry/freezer - we can a lot of stuff :) I would say approx. 7-9 months worth - I enjoy seeing what others have and what they make with it.
I'm a person who always ALWAYS cooks with a recipe but for some reason these videos are so fascinating to me. I guess I like to see you take risks.
You inspired me to not cave before my grocery trip tomorrow and go to the drive thru. I made Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes, corn, and green beans. It was a hit. Those frozen meatballs really come in handy.
Jennifer, way to go! That meal sounds DELICIOUS!!!
Love this video! Using up some leftover bits is always a good idea. I find it becomes overwhelming so quick with all the different "leftovers". I am a free cook (aka I hate recipes) but my husband likes trying new things and recipes. We are vegan due to some health issues, so we can't copy the delicious things you made, but looking will not hurt me :D I admire your creativity combined with the pratical thinking of getting rid of things before they go bad! You are an inspiration, thanks a lot
I'm so glad this vid popped into my feed today because I have two cartons of onion/chive cream cheese in the fridge that I snagged on a great BOGO/coupon deal, as well as a bunch of tortellini in the freezer - def making this tomorrow, thanks!!
So I know it was a struggle not having your oven, but having those alternatives was great for me and my mom! Our oven has been broken for a while and it’s just not something we can afford to fix, so having your videos has been a life saver for us. Thank you so much!❤❤
You have more food available than I have after a luxury grocery shopping trip. You are so blessed to be able to see this as getting by. Way to go creating a more abundant lifestyle.
Thank you for sharing this! I love these kinds of challenges, because it's a reminder to me that I DO have plenty of meals in my house, I just have to get creative and think outside of my normal go-to's.
Every time I take time to look at your uTube channel, from your first word you put a smile on my face
Thank you so much for saying that, Patricia! Blessings to you and yours!
This is great! I'm going to be visiting my siblings and their families in June. We will have 16 people to feed. I'm happy to have an inexpensive idea for that. Thank you! 😊
Love the idea of this video! Great job would love to see more like this!
Love these videos! We do pantry/fridge/freezer clear outs several times a year. It lets us rotate items from our "emergency pantry" into our main pantry to ensure everything is used before it expires. We can usually skip a few weeks of shopping this way....there are only 3 of us which helps!
That's great! I was really bad about doing that years ago and I let lots of food expire because I didn't rotate our stock. Good job!
All these recipes look so good!
I love these videos. You inspire me to get creative and stopping overbuying food.
Thanks, Felicia! I still find myself over-buying, so it's good for me to do this for a while. We try to be good stewards. :) Thanks for watching!
I love using barley as a substitute for oatmeal! So yummy with butter and brown sugar 😋
I need to be brave and just create things like you do!
Great ideas that I never would have thought of! Inspiring me to clean out the pantry and get creative.
I'm so glad, Kaitlin! It takes a little extra work and creativity for me, but it's always rewarding when I see my fridge and pantry all neat and cleaned out!
You did GREAT clearing out & making imaginative meals, Mindy! Enjoy your rustic Thanksgiving with your family! Blessings! Jackie in upstate NY
Thank you, Jackie! I hope you have a great holiday as well!
These and budget meals are my favorite videos
I’m glad to hear that, Brandi, because I have lots more content along those lines planned!
Me too!
What a creative cook! I'm totally inspired!
Omgosh I love these videos. I'm going to be doing the same because I'm so stocked up on everything. Wonderful ideas and thank you for sharing. Happy belated birthday to your Angel's. Have a great Thanksgiving 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks, Maria! To you and yours as well!
Thank you for this video, we need to do this for our household, we have two fridges and freezers, and four book shelves full of foods that need to be gone thru.
I’m sure you can come up with some great meals!
Rotate the stock. Don't get rid of too much. This thing is about to get worse.
I’m learning so much from you 😊. I love your Alexa shirt. Hope your oven is fixed soon.
Thanks so much, Christine, I really appreciate that! My two goals for this channel are to be kind and helpful! And yes...I really need my oven fixed! Too much holiday fun to be had!
Using a crockpot liner for the first time!!!!! Thanks for the tip!!!
Have you tried adding barley to chicken soup? We always had it when I was a child.
You inspire me to do more pantry cooking. Using what I have that last week in the month before payday.
OMGoodness such a great realization video! I usually stock up on canned goods & pantry staples so I don’t have to go grocery shopping often. This is a great video of ‘shelf cooking’. Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks, Billie! Shelf Cooking! That's the term I should have used! I was trying to think of it, it was in the back of my head...I kept thinking "pantry cooking". :)
Everything looked delicious! I really enjoy these kinds of vdeos.
I’m so glad to hear that, Lisa! Thanks for watching!
Mindy you are the queen of the pantry cleanout, just so inspiring and motivating I just go on and follow your path
Love this kind of videos thanks love your videos thanks ❤️ 😊
Love the apple muffin tip! It is SO good!
My family loved the gravy
Best kitchen clean out cooking video I've ever seen!!👍
Frozen vegetables are great value for your money. They're usually flash frozen when absolutely fresh, so it's the same rich vitamins and stuff that fresh veggies have. So yeah, you could still make it one or two days more and not sacrifice health.
Love these videos!! Such great ideas that I really would never think of. 👍🏼
So glad! Thanks, Amy!
I love watching your challenge videos! You always share such creative ideas! It's always great to use up what's left in the fridge and pantry.
The Turkey meatballs and tortellini looked so good! I will definitely make that in the near future. Thanks for sharing, I love these kind of videos!!
My family loved that, including my husband, who isn't usually a huge pasta lover.
This is so helpful. SUPER REAL. Everything looks great. Thank you.
Great ideas. We try to make soup if we have leftover meatloaf or chicken that needs to be used up. My husband can eat soup everyday.
I like this type of videos it gives me so many ideals
If you have a little bit of rice cereal leftover Like Rice Krispies or rice Chex it works great mixed with flour as a coating for chicken or fish or sweet potato fries. My husband gets kind of weird with cereal and sometimes he just can't finish the box of something like that and it keeps things very crispy when you use it as a breading. I powder it up in the food processor
Yummy ! Everything you make always looks so good ! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks, Lisa!
I loveeee going through my kitchen and using what we have! Loved seeing what you came up with great video !
Thanks, Bernadette! I understand...I get an odd satisfaction from using an entire container or package and then seeing our pantry and fridge nice and clean!
@@SeeMindyMom I completely feel the same!!!
Love this type of video Mindy- you are so creative - I’ve picked up several recipes and combinations of food -thank you so much !
Thanks, Mary! I hope they work well for you!
Awesome ideas!
So many good ideas and ways to use up things you have on hand.
And I’m sure you will create some delicious meals! 😊
Actually, I think you're a genius. Really.
Whoa, I had no idea there was such a thing as quick barley!
Still a great video. I have stuff in the pantry but I don’t have the skills to make it into meals. Very cool !
Loved this video! Have a great Thanksgiving! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks, Kim, you too!
Love your videos. Always inspire me to challenge myself to get creative and use up all the food in the fridge.
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching!
Loved watching these challenge videos! You are definitely very creative. And everything always looks so amazing
Thank you, Jen!
Salad dressings make great marinades for chicken. Cutting marinated chicken breasts into strips will still be frugal - I don't care for shredded meat myself we did not have it growing up although we were poor Mom did a great job feeding us with what $ she had. Mashed Potatos are so frugal and can be stretched love them. I also have never used Cream Cheese in soups but since both you & Frugal Fit Mom use it I will have to try it as well
Barley is something I have never used but loved Scotch Broth Soup as a kid
Amazing! Very impressive! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Same to you, Marta!
This was so awesome! Thank you. I love pantry videos, I try to do this at home a lot. I was lost on another days meal to complete my meal plan for this week and your KFC bowls are going to be perfect! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
love the chicken tortellini idea and would love to try it on my picky eaters, did you use the entire 32oz bag of meatballs? Thanks in advance! 😊
Love when you do these videos!
Glad you like them! I just filmed an extension of this one when we got home from Thanksgiving...had to get a little more creative...lol!
Your creativity always amazes me!!
Thanks, Janice! :)
Oil based salad dressing is great for marinating meat , I use salad dressing un pasta salads which you could beef in with sausage , cheese,olives, veggies ect . Macaroni and cheese would be good, the soft cheese should melt up nicely.
For the barley make it into soup ... my kids are picky eaters but the love barley soup with lamb meat and chopped carrots and green bean ... They cook for a long time ... about two hours ...
Oh my goodness. People honestly thought you used a random plastic bag in your crockpot?? Crockpot liners have been around for a while. I mean anybody watching obviously has internet access. Do a Google search before you make stupid comments like that, people! I love your videos! Thanks for all you do!
Happy Thanksgiving!!! My oven broke right before Thanksgiving last year!! I don't usually host Thanksgiving, my sister in law does. But she lives less than 5 minutes away so I usually will go over the night before to help prep and deliver the turkey. My hubby and his buddy raise turkeys so we keep it until the night before.) Then I come home with a lot of stuff to store in my fridge. Then on T-Day I will help bake some stuff in my oven but couldn't last year! Now this year there's no one really coming so no big ta-do this time! Hope it's an easy fix!! Enjoy your mini trip!! 💜💚
Denise, I bet those turkeys were good! My mom used to bake stuff in our neighbor's oven. Seems there are never enough at the holidays!
@@SeeMindyMom they are incredible!!
My favourite way of cooking!! Improvising and using up. I would never use those liners though.... cooking in plastic is never a good idea I think.
Mmmmmss Amish sour cream cornbread -- will def have to try that soon!
It was so good!
For that soup with the pasta, ground beef, beans, and tomato soup how long did you cook it in the slow cooker and at what temp? :) I feel like I learn so much from your videos about making meals on the fly.
Everything is cooked, so it just needs to simmer for flavor. I think I left it on low for about 2-3 hours.
Impressive! You are such a creative cook. Have you always had a knack for putting meals together? I love cooking and spend lots of time in the kitchen, but I’m still very dependent on recipes. I need some confidence to branch out and try some things on my own.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Andrea, definitely not! It's just something I've picked up over the years and as I've tried to get better about using stuff up as much as possible and minimizing waste. Happy Thanksgiving!
That looks like it will work fine
Random, but at *8:05*, I was like 😮 You look SO pretty! 😊
Brown gravy on the KFC bowl takes it over the top. You should try it. 😀
Haha! I will, Becky! :)
You gave me the idea to make this for my son today!! You’re channel is great.
You are a genius in my book 🤓🥰
While I like the idea of the reduced cleaning time with crock pot liners, I refuse to use them because they just end up in landfills. I’m slowly replacing most of our single-use items with reusable.
I need to do this next week. I over bought this week due to the holiday! 🦃
Erin, I do that all the time when there's a holiday or company coming. That's a good time to do one of these, too. I'll probably do another one right after Christmas.
Love this video good ideas 💡 like to save money 💴 when I can Love those crockpot liners save a lot of clean 🧼 up
Me, too, Wendy!
Great ideas!
With the current state of supply chain issues, do you have plans to start filling your pantry with some extra food? I have started buying a few extra things each week to hopefully fill my pantry. I will use it in rotation so nothing expires. I’m also buying items that work for emergency meals, like you have shared a few times now.
I like salad but can only eat it like a full week out of the month. The other weeks I have to eat other stuff. I am only one person so buying a tub of salad mix lasts like 5 days or so of lunches
I’m doing a fridge and pantry clean out this week. I have food close to expiration because I forget I have it. 😫
Have you ever used your stand mixer to shred Ymir chicken, it works amazing and stretches it .
Yes, I actually use my hand mixer sometimes! :)
You are so creative!!!!
In the kitchen, perhaps. But my sisters are super duper crafty, and that's where my creativity tanks! LOL! So I'll just stick to the use-it-up meal prep! :)
You always have a nice video!!
Thank you very much!
Love your videos !
Thanks, Kari! Glad you like them!
Did you add the Brie?? Curious. Thx
Your kitchen cabinets and fridge makes me feel like a total food hoarder 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I buy in bulk so my pantry literally looks like a grocery store. We also constantly PIF to families in crisis or dealing with food poverty so we absolutely share the wealth on the regular. I love this type of video though. Definitely gets the brain working!
I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving
Thanks, Anne! You, too!
