I love Excel so much, I taught it to beginners, intermediates and experts for six years. I also love that Todd makes BIG meals, Dirty once, eat three or four times. Thank you. God Bless and stay safe.
If I may suggest another technique to add to your gnocchi adventure. Pan sear those dumplings right out of the hot water. Use a high smoke point fat, bacon fat is one of my favourites. Get'em nice and golden brown and then add whatever you like. Garlic and chilli flakes with Parm, dill and lemon zest with a touch of cream, or sage and brown butter is absolute heaven. They're cheap too, great way to feed a crowd.
Fun to see your "what's for dinner" videos. The gnocchi looked delicious - made me wish I was there for dinner. Love that Todd cooks too. I've been planning my 2024 garden also. I planted garlic in the fall and I made a mistake and ordered short day onions. Should have used long day - oh well, I planted them anyway and hope they do well. Bought seeds when MIGardener had a sale. Will need to refresh raised beds when garlic and onions come out.
I LOVE this video series. This January I’ve made a real effort to make as few trips to the grocery store as possible and utilize what we have in pantry and freezer. It feels great and watching your videos gives me great inspiration! Funny aside I saw the chub of ground pork in the beginning and thought oh it’s the same brand as we have in our freezer. Only to remember we had purchase half a pig last summer and had it processed at Jerome Market ❤️ we purchased half a pig from a friend of a coworker I work with. I love the security of food in my freezer and also the short journey from farm to table. Hope to do more this year and add some beef and chicken that way too.
YAY! I've been waiting all year (2024 😊) for this 'what's for dinner' episode! These are my favorite vlogs of yours, as you know 😉The dinners look SO scrumptious and y'all make it looks SO easy! Keem 'em coming! AND Happy New Year you two!!
I just ordered your garden planner. Can't wait to start planning! I haven't had a vegetable garden since I was 19, so it's been 50 years! My husband built me four tall raised beds so I don't have to stoop over for planting, weeding, etc. I've got seeds for the veggies we like, and I need to plan out where to put what to use the space I have available efficiently. Your planner looks like just the ticket! I live on the other side of the mitten, about 20 miles from your favorite Amish store. My favorite too!
Oh my goodness that first meal looks Absolutely Delicious!!! The second one looks Absolutely Delicious too!!! Boy you guys eat very well!!! God Bless Us All!!!
You guys are so fun!!! Also, I can’t wait to bust out my garden planner and put it to use (very soon)! Looking forward to your video about it Rachel👍💖👍
Yummy Yummy. Pork done that way makes more sense and time saver. Love those canned tomato pasta sauce. Our cloves of garlic here on east coast u.s.a. are mini teeny tiny. Did you grow that garlic used in the shrimp dish. Soooo. yummy. I did shrimp cooked in a garlic butter sauce. Flat pasta noodles in more garlic butter sauce. Both with hint of Italian seasonings , salt and pepper. Eat well and enjoy. Thanks for sharing. What about the garlic? Your garden?
I have not seen gnocchi used in that way before and now I really want to try it! Last year I made a BUNCH of potato gnocchi with my potatoes that needed to be used up and have been looking for different ways to use it. Thanks for the idea
@@sheliaheverin8822 I had looked at a few different recipes and watched a few videos before trying it and overall it was not very difficult to make, just time consuming. But then again I made quite a big batch since I was trying to use up my potatoes, it was a great way to freeze the potatoes for use later though
A lot of store bought ingredients on that one -except for the sauce. But you used fresh garlic on the alfredo, maybe for added taste? You ever do shrimp Chinese stir fries?
On those enamel cast iron dutch ovens, how do you care for yours. Do you wash like normal or more like the normal cast iron. I ask cause I noticed my husband washed one of mine and when I lifted the lid there was rust on the rim where it doesnt have enamel on it and on the lid and Im not sure what to do to prevent from next time.
Love watching the What's For Dinner episodes, my question for you is. Do you use a recipe or just throw it together and make it work? You know what makes up the meals but I never see a recipe.
I never use a recipe unless its something really off the wall, and then its usually just for inspiration. I cook professionally for about 7-8 years long long ago, so I learned pretty early how foods taste. - Todd
So nothing green with those pasta dishes? Peas in the alfredo dish would have been good. Or a simple salad green tossed in olive oil...Love your what's for dinner videos.
I love you guys, and I love your cooking. But you missed a great opportunity to have a salad with your gnocchi and fettuccini. Why no salads? I know you addressed that before, but I just wondered. I should just mind my own business LOL. Hugs Rachael and Todd❤
I was curious about the garlic you pulled from the freezer - I have a TON of garlic planted this year & have been trying to think of ways to help keep it fresh but then I seen you put the cloves in the freezer, do you notice any sort of difference in flavor? Then I seen you put it into the microwave, how long was that for? 🤔
So you like snow. I am not a real big fan of the stuff It Is pretty to look at as long as It does not stay around very long anyway your chile and corn bread look yummy It snowed here to It came In this afternoon .

Good. You need to do a What’s For Dinner PowerPoint presentation of your garden plans and layout. Those should always be garden strategy meetings. Or snap images of your planner book. Need to find out what you want and don’t want to grow this year.
I love your “what’s for dinner” videos! Lots of inspiration and relaxing! Thank you 😊
Nothing sexier than a man who can cook AND brings it to you with a smile!
Never too much garlic. Looks yummy. Thanks for sharing your "What's for Dinner?" videos.
I love Excel so much, I taught it to beginners, intermediates and experts for six years. I also love that Todd makes BIG meals, Dirty once, eat three or four times. Thank you. God Bless and stay safe.
Rachel, I would love it if you would show your the pages of your garden planner. Thank you 😊
Happy to see What's for dinner ❤
Looking forward to all the gardening and how you preserve it.
Hi Rachel, Todd nailed it. Imagining what you 2 can do for the Super Bowl 🏈 🥘 Now it's time to Enjoy, yummy. 🍤🥗 😊
Yummmmm Todd you inspire me to cook. The dinners look amazing
These are my favorite videos! Always excited to see what’s for dinner
I just love watching and learning from your videos.
I have started filling out my garden planner. Love it! Thank you for putting your garden brain on paper.
That looks amazing and great shot of the bubbling hot casserole. Yum!
I have never had gnocchi before. After watching what you made with it, I really want to try it now.
If I may suggest another technique to add to your gnocchi adventure. Pan sear those dumplings right out of the hot water. Use a high smoke point fat, bacon fat is one of my favourites. Get'em nice and golden brown and then add whatever you like. Garlic and chilli flakes with Parm, dill and lemon zest with a touch of cream, or sage and brown butter is absolute heaven.

I bought your garden planning book, and I pulled it out today to start dreaming and planning :)
Yay what's for dinner!
Love "what's for dinner"

Next time, you could add some broccoli florets to the shrimp alfredo for a pop of color. Plus you have a vegetable 😊
Rachel said the same thing 😀
You guys are so fun!!! Also, I can’t wait to bust out my garden planner and put it to use (very soon)! Looking forward to your video about it Rachel👍💖👍

By the way!!!! Never to much garlic. My mouth was watering!!!
I have not seen gnocchi used in that way before and now I really want to try it! Last year I made a BUNCH of potato gnocchi with my potatoes that needed to be used up and have been looking for different ways to use it. Thanks for the idea
are they hard to make homemade?

I’m so glad to see a What’s For Dinner video! 🤗 It looks yummy.
I love these videso. Hi guys 😍
It's funny I sat down with my copy of the planner and yt put your video on "play next".
♥
Fresh parsley would be pretty on that fettuccini..usually when we have pasta I serve Caesar salad and garlic bread
Do y’all have a video where you go over the garden planner? I’d like to get a feel for what’s in it, so I can see if I should purchase one. Thanks.
Not really the entire thing, but various parts in about 3-4 of our recent gardening videos.
Thanks!
Buen apetito happy to see yall again
Looks. Delicious…
A lot of store bought ingredients on that one -except for the sauce. But you used fresh garlic on the alfredo, maybe for added taste? You ever do shrimp Chinese stir fries?
Love your pantry and super excited for this year! What if you lose power? Also have you tried azure standard?
We have a backup generator system, and backups for that system as well. Three layers deep actually.
On those enamel cast iron dutch ovens, how do you care for yours. Do you wash like normal or more like the normal cast iron. I ask cause I noticed my husband washed one of mine and when I lifted the lid there was rust on the rim where it doesnt have enamel on it and on the lid and Im not sure what to do to prevent from next time.
I love your “What’s for Dinner” videos. I bet they’re a lot work, moving that camera 40 times for 10 seconds of footage!
Each meal is usually around 60 video clips / movements.
Love watching the What's For Dinner episodes, my question for you is. Do you use a recipe or just throw it together and make it work? You know what makes up the meals but I never see a recipe.
I never use a recipe unless its something really off the wall, and then its usually just for inspiration. I cook professionally for about 7-8 years long long ago, so I learned pretty early how foods taste. - Todd
So nothing green with those pasta dishes? Peas in the alfredo dish would have been good. Or a simple salad green tossed in olive oil...Love your what's for dinner videos.
Do you have several cameras set up around or do you have to constantly be moving then and repositiining.
I love you guys, and I love your cooking. But you missed a great opportunity to have a salad with your gnocchi and fettuccini. Why no salads? I know you addressed that before, but I just wondered. I should just mind my own business LOL. Hugs Rachael and Todd❤
I was curious about the garlic you pulled from the freezer - I have a TON of garlic planted this year & have been trying to think of ways to help keep it fresh but then I seen you put the cloves in the freezer, do you notice any sort of difference in flavor? Then I seen you put it into the microwave, how long was that for? 🤔
I mic them for like 10 seconds, just to soften them. They do change flavor, some of the "spice / hot" goes away.
@1870s thank you so much for your reply! Can't wait to try it.
So you like snow. I am not a real big fan of the stuff It Is pretty to look at as long as It does not stay around very long anyway your chile and corn bread look yummy It snowed here to It came In this afternoon .
? Why should a person vac seal pasta? Maybe to keep moisture out? Thank you.
Yes, our basement can get humid sometimes, especially in the summer.
❤
'Too much garlic ??' Said no one ever !!! 🤣🤣
I love that you don't have a tool just for breaking up ground meat! 😂
If you’re both eating the garlic it’s never to much. 😬🤤
Why did you butterfly the shrimp? Just wondering
So there's more to go around in each bite.
My granddaughter is just getting into cooking more so I wrote up the recipes for her to try. I figured I would share them here too. I hope that is okay.

Good. You need to do a What’s For Dinner PowerPoint presentation of your garden plans and layout. Those should always be garden strategy meetings. Or snap images of your planner book. Need to find out what you want and don’t want to grow this year.
Always wonder why all these youtube channels have gardens and yet I never see a salad and rarely a veggie side. 🤔
love the stripper music
So. Many. Refined. Carbs. ,,, 😳
🤗
