Nyssa I l have walls and flyscreens and I still get flies in my kitchen. It's part of where we live, it's so hot and dry at the moment and summer is here. We just got to roll with the punches.
Week after week you continue to amaze me. Such a hard worker in the kitchen, out on the property, and home schooling your clan. Hats off! Debi in Vicksburg, MS, USA 🥰🥰
I think you're gorgeous In the 3 days since discovering you, I've learned so much. Thanks for being and excellent educator You clearly work very hard, and you've been so honest in explaining how it's not easy but I really envy your patch and the the lifestyle that you give your kids. I'm a massive fan girl for ya!
It amazes me on how much you do. Especially when you are breaking everything down from your shopping trip. I honestly don't see how you have time to do anything else
You did great!! It all looked delicious 😋. The individual pies looked adorable and such a great idea! Don't worry about the flies! Tis a part of the warm season!
Oh Nyssa all the meals you make look so delicious and yummy 😋. You need to make a cookbook I’ve said this several times I think it would do really good . Much blessings and love from Texas
why do i watch cooking videos at night when im in bed? im now starving😂the dinners looked scrummy❤ i loved your burger press what a brilliant idea!! loved the video❤❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Amazing ways to use cheaper cuts of beef! You are so helpful. It takes every trick in the book these days just to get by. I appreciate you so much! Janice from Arkansas USA
Can’t beat a good pie anytime of the year and your pies are mouthwatering delicious! Wish I could pop my hand through and grab one ! Haha. Lucky family.
Yes, it does mean that by pulling some of the less fatty meat out I'm bumping the fat content of the meat a little but I don't mind that, in the way we eat it a bit of higher fat ratio isn't a bad thing!
You could do a mince cobbler. Make plain scones and place in a ring over the top of your cooked mince mixture. Any left over scones can be baked separately to have with jam
People and their "opinions" about flys OBVIOUSLY have NEVER cooked outdoors....history people.. humans have been cooking outdoors since cavemen discovered they could make fire.. people leaving your negative comments open your small minds... feel your feeling then get over them and move along life is short...I LOVE your videos and I love cooking outdoors.. prefer it even.... I swat Flys I'm still alive..lol..
Hehe, I understand the ick factor for someone who is used to cooking in a kitchen etc, But we're pretty used to it out here and we've swallowed numerous flies while out in the garden I'm sure lol!
Looks great Nyssa! I’m off to hospital on Thursday, so need to get some meals in the freezer to cover a few days, so I now know what to make lol 😂 Have a good one xx Cathi xx 😘
Hi Nyssa, just watched your latest video which was great. I live in Townsville and quite regularly whole rumps at IGA are $8.99/kg. It might sound a bit extravagant but I mince rumps with the fat, the mince is beautiful. Also quite often we will slice some and keep some as roasts. The roasts turn out beautiful, but you have to cook them on a slow temperature. I have cooked them on the BBQ in a covered enamel baking dish. Slow though or it will be very dry. I get IGA specials emailed to me so I don't miss out. Also been meaning to mention if you have tried Euca washing powder. I switched about 7 years ago. Doesn't have the nasties, washes really well and the 10kg tub is very economical. You can buy it at Mitre 10.
I like your pastry recipe. The smoked steak pie looked so good. It does save time with beef trim from Costco. Well done - awesome food for your family and keeping costs low. Really terrific. Loved this video.
Hey Nyssa🥰 Yum the sausage rolls with the caramelised onion jam in the filling sounds soooo good!!!! Loved Daryl’s appearance 😂🤣😂 Great idea using the muffin tray for the pie cases, I’m going to give that a go for little apple & rhubarb pies. Have a great week🥰
They were super tasty! It worked really well, I still think I'd prefer some larger individual pie tins, more filling to less pastry! lol, but the muffin trays work in a pinch!
Your pie filling looked luscious and yummy and your buns are professional looking. I useTexas muffin pans for large muffins however now I'll try to use them for pies. The only downside is they come in a six muffin size. You do the beef justice in how you stretch it and cook such varied meals. Your costings are amazing. Its so worth it.
I really like the options having the beef like that opens up, and I used to try and buy beef to do it with, but it was just too expensive, this is the same price as the mince, so that works for me! :D
Another amazing video nyssa Those pies looked especially delicious Such talent girl And who cares about the flies I’m in Canada and we have them Take care
Amazing as always..could you freeze the cooked mince you used in your mini pies for cottage/shepherds pies later..just top with mashed spuds on the day of use..regards
I think our puff pastry is much different to yours though, when I see the kind of pastry on American channels the way they use it, it is much thicker and puffier, our is very thin, which works perfectly for this kind of thing!
The steak pie looks wonderful! I hate sometimes that I don't like a lot of certain foods because, like your pie, the minute I would see, smell or taste cooked carrots or especially, mushrooms I would be done. Same thing for bacon....love it on its own but I cannot stand it in anything.
That’s one of the biggest benefits of cooking your own food though! You can avoid things you don’t like. Though I used to hate mushrooms and now I don’t have a problem with them because D likes them so I started including them and just got used to it lol
Silly story, my fly catcher, Duke died this year. I have walls in my kitchen. The flies were driving me crazy this year. Never really noticed before how they find their way into the kitchen. 😊
We have some of the yellow sticky tapes hung around and I have a fan that I move to blow directly on food etc, but they still stick around, I'm pretty used to it and just get on with it, but I totally understand people who aren't used to it feeling a bit icked out :)
I'm getting ok with the flies now, my issue before was we lived across the road from our local tip, so I was like a maniac if they landed on anything, they even got in the fridge once and blew my whole freshly prepared stir fry and I roasted a chook for dinner, turned around to get the glad wrap out of the nearby draw and turned back to see maggots crawling out of my freshly cooked chicken yuck
Hi would it be possible to link the individual pie dishes? As a family of 9 plus extras this would be an amazing way to have something quick to cook up
Please, for safety's sake, put a damp dish cloth or paper towel under your cutting board so it doesn't move around when you cut. Cutting on a slippery board is dangerous and makes your job take longer and you have to work harder. I get rubber shelf liner from the dollar store and cut that down to size.
We've actually run out of beans on the shelf, I have to can more up hehe, but its not something we've done much, the whole meat with rice thing, and we only just started eating beans as well, sometimes I have to really think hard to remember to try these things :)
We have nets to use in the garden or you risk swallowing them when you're panting with exertion lol! But in the kitchen they mostly just go towards the bench not the face, pros and cons! :D
I’m in the U.S. and I love watching your videos! Your family must love all the meals you work so hard to make for them.
I think, unfortunately, its just normal for them lol, so they don't really understand how good they have it lol! But hey, that is a good thing too! :D
Nyssa I l have walls and flyscreens and I still get flies in my kitchen. It's part of where we live, it's so hot and dry at the moment and summer is here. We just got to roll with the punches.
Definitely just normal for here, ants are a big issue atm too with rain forecast later in the week! Urgh!
Week after week you continue to amaze me. Such a hard worker in the kitchen, out on the property, and home schooling your clan. Hats off! Debi in Vicksburg, MS, USA 🥰🥰
Thank you Debi! :D.
Great use of beef trim. Enjoying your channel
My goodness those meals were 5 star restaurant quality .you outdid yourself with this box of trim .
❤️
I put some effort into making good use of it! I can get slack and just mince it and freeze it lol.
I think you're gorgeous
In the 3 days since discovering you, I've learned so much.
Thanks for being and excellent educator
You clearly work very hard, and you've been so honest in explaining how it's not easy but I really envy your patch and the the lifestyle that you give your kids.
I'm a massive fan girl for ya!
It amazes me on how much you do. Especially when you are breaking everything down from your shopping trip. I honestly don't see how you have time to do anything else
It's a hard couple of weeks! lol, but it is worth it! :D
You did great!! It all looked delicious 😋. The individual pies looked adorable and such a great idea! Don't worry about the flies! Tis a part of the warm season!
Just have one word..... YUM! Everything looked delectable! Your family are very lucky!
Oh I am becoming a Darryl fan. Loved the hands with the cutting of the bun
Oh Nyssa all the meals you make look so delicious and yummy 😋. You need to make a cookbook I’ve said this several times I think it would do really good . Much blessings and love from Texas
You just amaze me. The different things you made out of the beef trim amazed me. You are so creative and I love watching all your videos ❤
I'm so glad I found out I could get it! It adds so much more variety than just buying mince :D
why do i watch cooking videos at night when im in bed? im now starving😂the dinners looked scrummy❤ i loved your burger press what a brilliant idea!! loved the video❤❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hehe, gotta have snacks while watching food videos!
Yum!
Your meals looked amazing and delicious. Congratulations on your food creativity!
Have a wonderful day everyone. 🙂
Amazing ways to use cheaper cuts of beef! You are so helpful. It takes every trick in the book these days just to get by. I appreciate you so much! Janice from Arkansas USA
I am so grateful that I can buy it like that! it works so well to stretch for our family :D
tasty looking filling food , love the thumb nail
I tried to make sure to photograph everything I made so I could do it like that hehe :D
Can’t beat a good pie anytime of the year and your pies are mouthwatering delicious! Wish I could pop my hand through and grab one ! Haha. Lucky family.
Add pastry to anything and you have a winner! :D
Definitely worth it. When I think of what the Costco mince is like. Plus you get the option of using the beef pieces how you like. Great work there.
Yes, it does mean that by pulling some of the less fatty meat out I'm bumping the fat content of the meat a little but I don't mind that, in the way we eat it a bit of higher fat ratio isn't a bad thing!
Everything you do is neat, Nyssa. The food looks so yummy and healthy. Thanks for sharing and take care. Janice from Arkansas USA
You come up with the best meals! All of them looked delicious.
Thank you :)
You could do a mince cobbler. Make plain scones and place in a ring over the top of your cooked mince mixture. Any left over scones can be baked separately to have with jam

Wonderful meals a clever cook you are Nysa.
That was absolutely brilliant. You are so inventive with your meals and providing so many of us with great ideas. Thank you Nyssa 👍
I love the recipe with the onion jam, I will have to try it 😋.
It's so tasty in so many things, I love having it on the shelf!
You are such a resourceful and intelligent cook! Thank you for another inspiring video x
Thankyou! :D
Looks great Nyssa! I’m off to hospital on Thursday, so need to get some meals in the freezer to cover a few days, so I now know what to make lol 😂 Have a good one xx Cathi xx 😘
Hope its something minor! I had planned to have a bunch of this in the freezer for while I was gone, but everyone ate it all lol.
Deliciousness five ways is what your video should be called!!! Another inspiring video fullof ideas for me to make. Thank you 😊
heh, thank you! I try and make things work in interesting ways, beef mince can be so boring, but it can also be super versatile :D
Your so creative and I’m learning with every video
WOW!!!
Silverside [the silver skin joint] is a lovely slow roast joint, cook long and low it makes a nice pulled beef.
I think a lot of it could be just used as pulled meat! I will have to give a go with some of it next time,.

I think the ability to keep it in the fridge and use it at will makes it worthwhile, :D
Thanks for sharing
Hey Nyssa🥰 Yum the sausage rolls with the caramelised onion jam in the filling sounds soooo good!!!!

Heh, thank you. Hope you are feeling better too!
my mouth is watering,i need some pies made xx
Pastry makes everything even yummier hehe

The only downside is they come in a six muffin size. You do the beef justice in how you stretch it and cook such varied meals. Your costings are amazing. Its so worth it.
I need to make a pie this weekend now !
Pastry covered anything is always a win heh
U are an awesome cook ! Everything looks delicious !
I think I'm going to ask our Sams butcher about this. The closest Cosco is 2 hours away. The meals looked awesome as usual.
I really like the options having the beef like that opens up, and I used to try and buy beef to do it with, but it was just too expensive, this is the same price as the mince, so that works for me! :D
Another amazing video nyssa
Those pies looked especially delicious
Such talent girl
And who cares about the flies
I’m in Canada and we have them
Take care
Would make a lovely cottage pie with mash on top.
Oh, that's a good idea :D
Those were restaurant quality meals for $1.00 a meal!!!! You are amazing!!!
Amazing as always..could you freeze the cooked mince you used in your mini pies for cottage/shepherds pies later..just top with mashed spuds on the day of use..regards
I definitely could, I could freeze it in the tray too and then remove and put in a ziplock, that would work well!
Your cooking is amazing
Restaurant quality probably better
Very interesting videos 😊
Thank you :D
Lotta good meals.
Fairly decadent for end of the 6 weeks hehe, though we ran outta potatoes lol... doh!
Yum!
I so wish our puff pastry sheets here in the USA was not so expensive....well here in Texas they are crazy expensive.....I so enjoy your videos..
I think our puff pastry is much different to yours though, when I see the kind of pastry on American channels the way they use it, it is much thicker and puffier, our is very thin, which works perfectly for this kind of thing!
Beef pot pies!! Can't beat pasta bake.😮
Anything in pastry is a winner! :D. Pasta bake is such a comfort food! :D
The steak pie looks wonderful! I hate sometimes that I don't like a lot of certain foods because, like your pie, the minute I would see, smell or taste cooked carrots or especially, mushrooms I would be done. Same thing for bacon....love it on its own but I cannot stand it in anything.

My God those pies look scrumptious! 🤤🤤🤤
wrap anything in pastry and its good! lol :D
Those meat pies looked so good. 🥩🥧
I'm getting ok with the flies now, my issue before was we lived across the road from our local tip, so I was like a maniac if they landed on anything, they even got in the fridge once and blew my whole freshly prepared stir fry and I roasted a chook for dinner, turned around to get the glad wrap out of the nearby draw and turned back to see maggots crawling out of my freshly cooked chicken yuck
Hi would it be possible to link the individual pie dishes? As a family of 9 plus extras this would be an amazing way to have something quick to cook up
Chefswarehouse.com.au is where I found the cheapest ones! A range of sizes
@@OurSmallFootprint thank you! ❤️
The Costco at North lakes won’t sell the beef trim box 😕 As my daughter asked .
Really! I'd be asking at the service desk, I don't see why not! It's no different than buying the pork by the case etc that they advertise!
wow that's a great price for beef. at least in the usa
It's a great price for something that can be used in so many ways!
Nyssa a GENIUS WITH BEEF🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👏👏👏 As always a pleasure to watch Love from the UK x ❤
Naww, thank you :D hehe, I did try and be creative with this bag, thinking through this video but also wanting to make the most of it!
Please, for safety's sake, put a damp dish cloth or paper towel under your cutting board so it doesn't move around when you cut. Cutting on a slippery board is dangerous and makes your job take longer and you have to work harder. I get rubber shelf liner from the dollar store and cut that down to size.
You are an amazing. I want to make sausage rolls
Sausage rolls are so good, I wanted to make some with pork this month before… life lol! Next month!
Why don't you make chile with your mince the bean adds protein and stretches out your meat. Serve with rice and veg.
We've actually run out of beans on the shelf, I have to can more up hehe, but its not something we've done much, the whole meat with rice thing, and we only just started eating beans as well, sometimes I have to really think hard to remember to try these things :)
The flies here in the US are horrible too. They like to get in my face and they drive me crazy
We have nets to use in the garden or you risk swallowing them when you're panting with exertion lol! But in the kitchen they mostly just go towards the bench not the face, pros and cons! :D
Flies are normal in my life, it’s those horrible midges that I can’t stand. I have flyscreens and cook inside, but doesn’t stop them.
We don’t have midges much, no standing water nearby! Mosquitoes can get bad at times but generally only at dusk!
Can i come for dinner xxx
