    FYI (trying to be helpful and not a Karen but) You should not try storing open metal cans in the refrigerator, because the iron and the tin can seep into the foods and taint the flavour and in some cases cause negative health effects. Keeping open cans in the fridge is especially dangerous if the food is quite acidic, such as fruit and tomatoes. ❤️ just be careful with that :)

      Agree it makes them taste like tin.

    Welcome back!!! Please don't worry about how you look! You look just fine!!! Real life is infinitely preferable to pretense!!! We tune in to your channel for what you show, not how you look. Not that there is anything wrong with how you look! I'll take substance over symbolism any day!!! I've been trying to empty my cabinets of all of the foodstuffs I have left in them so I don't find stuff in them from 20 years ago like I did the first time I reorganized them! Almost there! Nearly no canned goods or leftover pasta! Love banana bread!!! I may try TJ's mix but I do make a good recipe from scratch and make sandwiches of them. Banana frosting and sliced bananas between two slices about as thick as a slice of bread. Mmmmmm...! As always my absolute very very best to you and yours!!!! Take care!

    My kids love garlic bread pizzas. Any extra sauce usually gets put into a sandwich or quart sized zippy bag & put in the freezer. Lay it as flat as you can get it so it thaws out quicker.

    You've saved me many times on dinner ideas! I have a silly one to share since your kiddos are little, I used to grab two boxes of Mac n Cheese and a few hot dogs or cheddar brauts,slice them up and mix them in with the cooked mac n cheese. We called it "Butthole Casserole". My kids used to avoid the ends of hotdogs because they said they looked like buttholes. We still laugh about that one. Lol 😆

    For anyone trying to make the banana bread a little healthier, the bananas can actually replace the oil in most baked good recipes (or applesauce or pumpkin puree 1:1 ratio)! Looks great

    I have all the fixings for the Texas Toast Pizza down to pepperoni& was not thinking😭 I have NOT done those in so long??? It takes me back to Dennys restaurant here in Virginia.

      Over 20 years ago I had kielbasa I needed to use up. I cut it into coin shape and added BBQ sauce and ranch dressing while cooking it in a skillet. Still one of our go to meals with some kind of rice and veggies. Watching you cook your reminded me of this.

    such great ideas! Just FYI -- it's perfectly okay to store food in the can in the fridge -- even the USDA says so. I do it quite often and just throw a silicone lid on it. I always use in a day or two, however. I need to do a full pantry purge -- youve inspired me. :)

You beautifully show how you can make delicious foods in a easy way using basic ingredients and i highly appreciate that! I often do vegetarian versions of your dishes as i do not eat meat and i only prepare meat from time to time for my husband and daughter. Thank you so much Abby♥️
